Similarities and Differences in Chinese and Caucasian Adults' Use of Facial Cues for Trustworthiness Judgments

BACKGROUND
All cultural groups in the world place paramount value on interpersonal trust. Existing research suggests that although accurate judgments of another's trustworthiness require extensive interactions with the person, we often make trustworthiness judgments based on facial cues on the first encounter. However, little is known about what facial cues are used for such judgments and what the bases are on which individuals make their trustworthiness judgments.


METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS
In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that individuals may use facial attractiveness cues as a "shortcut" for judging another's trustworthiness due to the lack of other more informative and in-depth information about trustworthiness. Using data-driven statistical models of 3D Caucasian faces, we compared facial cues used for judging the trustworthiness of Caucasian faces by Caucasian participants who were highly experienced with Caucasian faces, and the facial cues used by Chinese participants who were unfamiliar with Caucasian faces. We found that Chinese and Caucasian participants used similar facial cues to judge trustworthiness. Also, both Chinese and Caucasian participants used almost identical facial cues for judging trustworthiness and attractiveness.


CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE
The results suggest that without opportunities to interact with another person extensively, we use the less racially specific and more universal attractiveness cues as a "shortcut" for trustworthiness judgments.
IoT Based Precision Agriculture using Agribot

More than 60 percent of the population in the India, agriculture as the primary sector occupation. In recent years, due increase in labor shortage interest has grown for the development of the autonomous vehicles like robots in the agriculture. An robot called agribot have been designed for agricultural purposes. It is designed to minimize the labor of farmers in addition to increasing the speed and accuracy of the work. It performs the elementary functions involved in farming i.e. spraying of pesticide, sowing of seeds, and so on. Spraying pesticides especially important for the workers in the area of potentially harmful for the safety and health of the workers. This is especially important for the workers in the area of potentially harmful for the safety and health of the workers. The Proposed system aims at designing multipurpose autonomous agricultural robotic vehicle which can be controlled through IoT for seeding and spraying of pesticides. These robots are used to reduce human intervention, ensuring high yield and efficient utilization of resources. KeywordsIoT, Agribot, Sprayer, Pesticides
Guidelines for designing augmented reality games

The growing popularity of augmented reality (AR) games in both a research and more recently commercial context has led for a need to take a closer look at design related issues which impact on player experience. While issues relating to this area have been considered, to date most of the emphasis has been on the technology aspects. Furthermore it is almost always assumed that the augmented reality element in itself will provide a sufficient experience for the player. This has led to a need to evaluate what makes a successful augmented reality game.
 In this paper we present a set of design guidelines which are drawn from experiences of three mixed reality games. The guidelines provide specific guidance on relationships between real and virtual space, social interaction, use of AR technologies, maintaining consistent themes and implicitly address higher level aspects such as presence within a particular augmented reality place.
Pharmaceutical consumption and cost in patients with dementia: A longitudinal study by the Registry of Dementias of Girona (ReDeGi) in Catalonia (Spain).

OBJECTIVE
Drug spending increases exponentially from the age of 65-70 years, and dementia is one of the diseases significantly contributing to this increase. Our aim was to describe pharmaceutical consumption and cost in patients with dementia, using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system. We also assessed the evolution of costs and consumption, and the variables associated to this evolution during three years.


METHODS
Three years prospective cohort study using data from the ReDeGi and the Health Region of Girona (HRG) Pharmacy Unit database from the Public Catalan Healthcare Service (PCHS). Frequency of consumption and costs of ATC categories of drugs were calculated.


RESULTS
Sample of 869 patients with dementia, most of them with a diagnosis of degenerative dementia (72.6%), and in a mild stage of the disease (68.2%). Central nervous system (CNS) drugs had the highest consumption rate (97.2%), followed by metabolic system drugs (80.1%), and cardiovascular system drugs (75.4%). Total pharmaceutical cost was of 2124.8 € per patient/year (standard deviation (SD)=1018.5 €), and spending on CNS drugs was 55.5% of the total cost. After 36 months, pharmaceutical cost increased in 694.9 € (SD=1741.9), which was associated with dementia severity and institutionalization at baseline.


CONCLUSIONS
Pharmaceutical consumption and costs are high in patients with dementia, and they increase with time, showing an association with baseline dementia severity and institutionalization. CNS drugs are the pharmaceuticals with highest prescription rates and associated costs.
Copy-Move Attack Forgery Detection by Using SIFT

221 Abstract— Due to rapid advances and availabilities of powerful image processing software's, it is easy to manipulate and modify digital images. So it is very difficult for a viewer to judge the authenticity of a given image. Nowadays, it is possible to add or remove important features from an image without leaving any obvious traces of tampering. As digital cameras and video cameras replace their analog counterparts, the need for authenticating digital images, validating their content and detecting forgeries will only increase. For digital photographs to be used as evidence in law issues or to be circulated in mass media, it is necessary to check the authenticity of the image. So In this paper, describes an Image forgery detection method based on SIFT. In particular, we focus on detection of a special type of digital forgery – the copy-move attack, in a copy-move image forgery method; a part of an image is copied and then pasted on a different location within the same image. In this approach an improved algorithm based on scale invariant features transform (SIFT) is used to detect such cloning forgery, In this technique Transform is applied to the input image to yield a reduced dimensional representation, After that Apply key point detection and feature descriptor along with a matching over all the key points. Such a method allows us to both understand if a copy–move attack has occurred and, also furthermore gives output by applying clustering over matched points.
Emotion Regulation in Children with Emotional Problems

The emotion regulation (ER)-specificity hypothesis assumes that a specific psychological problem is characterized by a specific maladaptive ER strategy. This hypothesis will be investigated for six child-DSM symptom clusters (Study 1) and for depressive symptoms (Study 2). We also investigated whether certain emotion regulation strategies can be detected through different forms of symptom clusters. Study 1 includes 432 school aged non-referred youngsters (60 % girls; age range between 8 and 18 years) and Study 2 includes 128 school aged non-referred youngsters (55 % girls; age range between 10 and 14 years). A self-report questionnaire, FEEL-KJ investigates a wide range of adaptive and maladaptive ER strategies. DSM symptom clusters (affective, anxiety, somatic, conduct, oppositional and ADHD problems) were measured by parent report on the Child Behaviour Checklist; depressive symptoms were measured with the Child Depression Inventory. Youngsters with emotional problems have specifically less adaptive ER strategies. The relation with maladaptive ER strategies can only be detected with self-reported depressive symptoms. ER strategies problem-oriented action and acceptance are transdiagnostically related to both internalizing and externalizing problems. For affective, somatic, conduct and ADHD problems the ER-specificity hypothesis is confirmed. Investigating ER strategies could be of clinical relevance specifically in children with affective, somatic, conduct and ADHD problems. Next, training deficits in the ER strategies Problem-oriented action and Acceptance can be considered as important in the treatment of all children with emotional problems.
A study of strength, hardness and deformation of acetylated Scandinavian softwoods

In this work, properties such as bending strength (expressed as modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity), hardness, and deformation under cyclic relative humidity have been studied for acetylated Scandinavian pine and spruce. The acetylation was performed with a limited amount of liquid acetic anhydride without addition of catalyst or organic cosolvent. The weight gain due to acetylation was 19.1% for the pine samples. Two kinds of spruce samples were acetylated to 18.2% (narrow annual rings) and 23.3% (broad annual rings), respectively. The results indicated that only small changes in strength were obtained. For pine, modulus of rupture decreased with about 6%, and increased with about 7% for spruce. The modulus of elasticity also decreased for pine but increased for spruce. For practical applications, these properties can be considered unaltered. Acetylated pine wood showed increased Brinell hardness. Acetylated spruce wood did not tend to deform as much as unmodified wood when exposed to moisture cycled between 40 and 90% relative humidity An acetylierten Proben von skandinavischem Kiefern-und Fichtenholz wurden mechanische Eigenschaften (MOE, MOR), Härte und Verformung unter zyklischen Feuchtebedingungen gemessen. Die Acetylierung erfolgte mit reduziertem Anteil an flüssigem Acetanhydrid und ohne Zugabe eines Katalysators oder anderer organischer Lösemittel. Der Gewichtszuwachs betrug bei Kiefernholz 19,1%, bei Fichtenproben 18,2% (enge Jahrringe) bzw. 23,3% (weite Jahrringe). Nur geringfügige Veränderungen der Festigkeitswerte wurden beobachtet. Die MOR-Werte fielen bei Kiefernholz um 6% ab; bei Fichtenholz stiegen sie um 7%. Die MOE-Werte verhielten sich ähnlich. Für praktische Zwecke kann man die mechanischen Eigenschaften als unverändert ansehen. Die Brinellhärte des Kiefernholzes stieg nach der Acetylierung an. Die Verformungstendenzen unter zyklischem Wechselklima (40/90) wurden durch die Behandlung verringert.
Family history and symptom levels during treatment for bipolar I affective disorder

BACKGROUND
Studies of family history and lithium response in patients with bipolar affective disorder have produced mixed results, but the majority have shown relationships between the presence of affective disorder among relatives and positive responses to lithium in probands. The analysis presented here sought to confirm and to further characterize such relationships.


METHODS
Subjects described here participated in a long-term, prospective follow-up; had a history of Research Diagnostic Criteria manic disorder or schizoaffective disorder, manic type; and took lithium for periods of 26 weeks or longer. The majority participated in a family study in which first-degree relatives were directly interviewed. Morbidity during lithium and during anticonvulsant trials was quantified in alternative ways, as were the risks among first-degree relatives for bipolar I and nonbipolar affective disorders.


RESULTS
Familial loading for bipolar affective disorder was not associated with better outcomes during lithium treatment. Rather, the presence of major depressive disorder (MDD) among relatives was associated with slower improvement during acute treatment and with higher symptom levels during continuing treatment. Findings for morbidity during anticonvulsant treatment were similar. The patients who experienced symptom persistence with lithium did so as well during periods of anticonvulsant treatment and during periods without thymoleptics.


CONCLUSIONS
A family history of MDD may have an enduring and negative prognostic significance that manifests across treatment conditions. Though difficult to reconcile with several earlier studies, these findings invite replication and further exploration.
Evaluation of new suspension system for limb prosthetics

BACKGROUND
Good prosthetic suspension system secures the residual limb inside the prosthetic socket and enables easy donning and doffing. This study aimed to introduce, evaluate and compare a newly designed prosthetic suspension system (HOLO) with the current suspension systems (suction, pin/lock and magnetic systems).


METHODS
All the suspension systems were tested (tensile testing machine) in terms of the degree of the shear strength and the patient's comfort. Nine transtibial amputees participated in this study. The patients were asked to use four different suspension systems. Afterwards, each participant completed a questionnaire for each system to evaluate their comfort. Furthermore, the systems were compared in terms of the cost.


RESULTS
The maximum tensile load that the new system could bear was 490 N (SD, 5.5) before the system failed. Pin/lock, magnetic and suction suspension systems could tolerate loads of 580 N (SD, 8.5), 350.9 (SD, 7) and 310 N (SD, 8.4), respectively. Our subjects were satisfied with the new hook and loop system, particularly in terms of easy donning and doffing. Furthermore, the new system is considerably cheaper (35 times) than the current locking systems in the market.


CONCLUSIONS
The new suspension system could successfully retain the prosthesis on the residual limb as a good alternative for lower limb amputees. In addition, the new system addresses some problems of the existing systems and is more cost effective than its counterparts.
Patterns of Antibiotic Resistance Among Group B Streptococcus Isolates: 2001–2004

The objectives were to determine the prevalence of group B streptococcus (GBS) and to characterize antibiotic resistance patterns. All pregnant women presenting to the triage units at two urban hospitals during three intervals from 2001 to 2004 were included. Each interval lasted approximately four weeks. Swabs were inoculated into selective broth and cultured on tryptic soy agar with 5% sheep blood. GBS was identified using the StrepTex latex agglutination system. GBS positive cultures were tested for their resistance to ampicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, and cefazolin. GBS was isolated from 154 (12.2%) of 1264 swabs collected during the study period. African-American women were more likely to be colonized with GBS than Caucasians and Hispanics. Resistance to routinely administered antibiotics was common, but there were no statistically significant increases in resistance to antibiotics over the study period. Ongoing surveillance of antibiotic resistance patterns is important in determining optimal prophylaxis and therapy.
Associations between rates of unassisted inpatient falls and levels of registered and non-registered nurse staffing

OBJECTIVE
To enhance understanding of how nurse staffing relates to unassisted falls by exploring non-linear associations between unassisted fall rates and levels of registered nurse (RN) and non-RN staffing on 5 nursing unit types, thereby enabling managers to improve patient safety by making better-informed decisions about staffing.


DESIGN
Cross-sectional analysis of routinely collected data using hierarchical negative binomial regression.


SETTING
8069 nursing units in 1361 U.S. hospitals participating in the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators(®). Main outcome measure Rate of unassisted falls per inpatient day.


RESULTS
Associations between unassisted fall rates and nurse staffing varied by unit type. For medical-surgical units, higher RN staffing was weakly associated with lower fall rates. On step-down and medical units, the association between RN staffing and fall rates depended on the level of staffing: At lower staffing levels, the fall rate increased as staffing increased, but at moderate and high staffing levels, the fall rate decreased as staffing increased. Higher levels of non-RN staffing were generally associated with higher fall rates..


CONCLUSIONS
Increasing non-RN staffing seems ineffective at preventing unassisted falls. Increasing RN staffing may be effective, depending on the unit type and the current level of staffing.
Supply chain performance measurement system based on scorecards and web portals

Successful supply chain management becomes essential for the ultimate success of corporations. Companies today seek an effective performance measurement (PM) system to maximize the bottom line. Unfortunately, performance measurement in the supply-chain field has not kept pace with today’s world of interdependent business relationships. What companies need is a new PM system that unifies different business elements, concepts, technologies and tools. In this paper, the architecture of such a pervasive PM system is introduced. The main system elements such as process model, metrics and data warehouse are described. Finally, a specialized PM web portal which enables proactive performance monitoring and fosters the improvement and optimization is presented.
Mood state effects of chocolate.

BACKGROUND
Chocolate consumption has long been associated with enjoyment and pleasure. Popular claims confer on chocolate the properties of being a stimulant, relaxant, euphoriant, aphrodisiac, tonic and antidepressant. The last claim stimulated this review.


METHOD
We review chocolate's properties and the principal hypotheses addressing its claimed mood altering propensities. We distinguish between food craving and emotional eating, consider their psycho-physiological underpinnings, and examine the likely 'positioning' of any effect of chocolate to each concept.


RESULTS
Chocolate can provide its own hedonistic reward by satisfying cravings but, when consumed as a comfort eating or emotional eating strategy, is more likely to be associated with prolongation rather than cessation of a dysphoric mood.


LIMITATIONS
This review focuses primarily on clarifying the possibility that, for some people, chocolate consumption may act as an antidepressant self-medication strategy and the processes by which this may occur.


CONCLUSIONS
Any mood benefits of chocolate consumption are ephemeral.
Moving beyond Physical Education Subject Knowledge to Develop Knowledgeable Teachers of the Subject.

All knowledge is socially constructed, including physical education teachers‘ knowledge of their subject. It is acquired from other people either formally and deliberately (e.g. by being taught) or informally and casually (e.g. by interacting with physical education teachers or playing in a sports team). The social aspects of learning appear to be particularly strong in physical education. This has implications for the development of knowledge for teaching, with trainee teachers focusing on the development of subject, and particularly content, knowledge. Focusing on subject knowledge reinforces a traditional view of physical education as it is, not as it might be to meet the needs of young people today. It is argued that attention needs to be given not only to the knowledge, skills and competencies that trainee teachers ought to develop but also to the social aspects of their learning and development and the context in which they learn. Attention also needs to be given to how the ability to think critically can be developed so that trainee teachers can become reflective practitioners able to challenge and, where appropriate, change the teaching of the subject. Only by doing this can the particularly strong socialisation which shapes the values and beliefs of physical education teachers begin to be challenged. However, as the process of developing knowledgeable teachers is ongoing it is also necessary to look beyond teacher training to continuing professional development.
Robust Top-k Multiclass SVM for Visual Category Recognition

Classification problems with a large number of classes inevitably involve overlapping or similar classes. In such cases it seems reasonable to allow the learning algorithm to make mistakes on similar classes, as long as the true class is still among the top-k (say) predictions. Likewise, in applications such as search engine or ad display, we are allowed to present k predictions at a time and the customer would be satisfied as long as her interested prediction is included. Inspired by the recent work of [15], we propose a very generic, robust multiclass SVM formulation that directly aims at minimizing a weighted and truncated combination of the ordered prediction scores. Our method includes many previous works as special cases. Computationally, using the Jordan decomposition Lemma we show how to rewrite our objective as the difference of two convex functions, based on which we develop an efficient algorithm that allows incorporating many popular regularizers (such as the l2 and l1 norms). We conduct extensive experiments on four real large-scale visual category recognition datasets, and obtain very promising performances.
Ragdoll Physics

The goal of this project was to create a real-time, interactive, and above all, stable, ragdoll physics simulation. This simulation will allow the user to apply arbitrary impulse forces to the ragdoll and observe its reactions. Finally the system will be designed in such a way that arbitrary dynamic systems can be simulated by extending this framework.
Vulvar necrobiotic xanthogranuloma.

To the Editor: An 89-year-old Caucasian woman with a 1.5-year history of IgGmonoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance presented for evaluation of a large ulceration on the left buttock and an asymptomatic lesion on the vulva. On physical examination, she had an extensive well-defined indurated ulcer obliterating the clitoris and encompassing both labia majora (Fig 1, A) and an 83 8-cm circular ulcer extending down to muscle on the left buttock with a necrotic rim (Fig 1, B). A 1.5-cm yellow nodule was present on the left lower eyelid, and a 4-cm oval yellow-pink plaque on the lateral distal aspect of her right thigh (Fig 1, C ). The patient was given the diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance 1.5 years before presentation with serum protein electrophoresis demonstrating 0.58 g/dL of monoclonal IgG paraprotein and elevated free
