OBJECTIVE:This study comprehensively assessed the work outcomes of employees with depression. METHODS: We collected baseline and six-month follow-up survey data from 229 depression two employee comparison groups: a group healthy patients for control (N=173) rheumatoid arthritis (N=87), frequent source disability. Outcomes included new unemployment and, within employed subgroup, job retention (versus turnover), presenteeism (that is, diminished on-the-job performance productivity),...

Objective: This study assessed the relationship between depression severity and job performance among employed primary care patients. Method: In a 2001–2004 longitudinal observational of depression’s affect on work productivity, 286 patients with DSM-IV major depressive disorder and/or dysthymia were compared to 93 individuals rheumatoid arthritis, condition associated disability, 193 depression-free healthy control subjects. Participants at least 15 hours per week, did not plan stop...

Employers who are developing strategies to reduce health-related productivity loss may benefit from aiming their interventions at the employees need them most. We determined whether depression's negative impact varied with type of work performed. Subjects (246 depression and 143 controls) answered Work Limitations Questionnaire additional questions. Occupational requirements were measured objectively. In multiple regression analyses, was most influenced by severity (P < 0.01 in 5/5 models)....

We present a modular convolutional architecture for denoising rendered images. expand on the capabilities of kernel-predicting networks by combining them with number task-specific modules, and optimizing assembly using an asymmetric loss. The source-aware encoder---the first module in assembly---extracts low-level features embeds into common feature space, enabling quick adaptation trained network to novel data. spatial temporal modules extract abstract, high-level kernel-based...

Purpose. Depressed employees are vulnerable to adverse work outcomes. We hypothesized that performance is impaired by depression and worsened exposure psychosocial stressors. Design. Longitudinal cohort study with surveys administered at baseline, 6, 12, 18 months. Setting. Recruitment in primary care offices. Subjects. A total of 14,268 were screened; 286 depressed, employed adults (18–62 years) 193 controls enrolled. Measures. At-work limitations (presenteeism) absenteeism measured the...

We address the problem of denoising Monte Carlo renderings by studying existing approaches and proposing a new algorithm that yields state-of-the-art performance on wide range scenes. analyze from theoretical empirical point view, relating strengths limitations their corresponding components with an emphasis production requirements. The observations our analysis instruct design filter offers high-quality results stable performance. A key observation is using auxiliary buffers (normal,...

The present work contributes to a better understanding of the basic assumptions and principles behind design Ni-based single crystal superalloys (SXs). For this purpose, we cast heat-treat four SXs compare their creep performances: ERBO/1 (with Re) three ERBO/15 variants (no Re but increased levels Ti, Mo W). We show that can be replaced by other elements without losing strength. To come conclusion one has consider both, alloy composition microstructure. analyze mechanical, microstructural...

Objective: To test a new program's effectiveness in reducing depression's work burden. Methods: A brief telephonic program to improve functioning was tested an early-stage randomized controlled trial involving 79 Maine State Government employees who were screened for depression and at-work limitations (treatment group = 59; usual care 27). Group differences baseline follow-up change scores on the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ), WLQ Absence Module, Patient Health (PHQ)-9 severity scale...

Walt Disney Animation Studios has transitioned to path-traced global illumination as part of a progression brute-force physically based rendering in the name artist efficiency. To achieve this without compromising our geometric or shading complexity, we built Hyperion renderer on novel architecture that extracts traversal and coherence from large, sorted ray batches. In article, describe discuss design decisions. We also explain how are able provide artistic control renderer, demonstrate...

Serious mental health problems exist within the Chinese population of United States. This article describes one center's attempt to meet psychiatric needs both nonpsychotic and psychotic patients through bilingual, culturally relevant treatments.

Objectives: The study tested an intervention aimed at improving work functioning among middle-aged and older adults with depression limitations. Methods: A randomized clinical trial allocated initial sample of 431 eligible employed (age ≥45) to a work-focused (WFI) or usual care. Inclusion criteria were as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ-9) at-work limitations indicated productivity loss score ≥5% on Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ). Study sites included 19 employers...

Abstract Renderings of animation sequences with physics‐based Monte Carlo light transport simulations are exceedingly costly to generate frame‐by‐frame, yet much this computation is highly redundant due the strong coherence in space, time and among samples. A promising approach pursued prior work entails subsampling sequence time, number samples, followed by image‐based spatio‐temporal upsampling denoising. These methods can provide significant performance gains, though major issues remain:...

Abstract Recent surveys show rising numbers of young people who report anxiety and depression. Although much attention has focused on mental health adolescent youth, less been paid to as they transition into adulthood. Multiple factors may have contributed this steady increase: greater exposure social media, information, distressing news via personal electronic devices; increased concerns regarding determinants climate change; changing norms due literacy reduced stigma. The COVID-19 pandemic...

Low-wage workers comprise 1/3 of in the U.S., are essential many workplaces, and have high risk cardiometabolic conditions compared to higher-wage workers. Workplaces potential reduce health inequities by offering targeted employee programs, however, these resources often underutilized low-wage Mobile tools (e.g., SMS, activity trackers) effective increasing engagement interventions, but their acceptability among is not well understood.
