Eye Movements of Drivers with Glaucoma on a Visual Recognition Slide Test.

SIGNIFICANCE Glaucoma has been shown to impair hazard detection ability and increase crash risk compared to controls. Differences in visual search behavior of the driving scene may explain these differences; however, there has been limited investigation of this issue with inconsistent findings. PURPOSE Through eye movement tracking of older drivers with glaucoma, we explored their visual search behavior in comparison with controls while performing the DriveSafe, a slide recognition test purported to predict fitness to drive. METHODS Thirty-one drivers with glaucoma (mean age, 71.7 ± 6.3 years; average better-eye mean defect,-3 dB; average worse-eye mean defect,-12 dB) and 25 age-matched controls underwent measurements of their visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual fields, and useful field of view (visual processing speeds). Participants' eye movements were recorded while they completed the DriveSafe test, which consists of brief presentations of static, real-world driving scenes containing various road users (pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles). Participants reported the types, positions, and direction of travel of road users in each image; the score was the total number of correctly reported items (maximum, 128). RESULTS Drivers with glaucoma had significantly worse DriveSafe scores (P = .03), fixated on road users for shorter durations (P < .001), and exhibited smaller saccades (P = .02) compared with controls. For all participants, longer fixation times on road users (P < .001) was the eye movement measure most strongly associated with better DriveSafe scores; this relationship was not significantly different between groups. Useful field-of-view divided attention was the strongest visual predictor of DriveSafe scores. CONCLUSIONS Eye movement changes in the glaucoma group may reflect increased difficulty in identifying relevant objects in the visual scene, which may be related to their lower DriveSafe scores. Given the DriveSafe's potential utility in assessing drivers with visual impairment before on-road testing, further investigations on how DriveSafe performance and eye movement patterns compare to those during on-road driving are warranted.
Toxoplasma gondii and Schizophrenia

Recent epidemiologic studies indicate that infectious agents may contribute to some cases of schizophrenia. In animals, infection with Toxoplasma gondii can alter behavior and neurotransmitter function. In humans, acute infection with T. gondii can produce psychotic symptoms similar to those displayed by persons with schizophrenia. Since 1953, a total of 19 studies of T. gondii antibodies in persons with schizophrenia and other severe psychiatric disorders and in controls have been reported; 18 reported a higher percentage of antibodies in the affected persons; in 11 studies the difference was statistically significant. Two other studies found that exposure to cats in childhood was a risk factor for the development of schizophrenia. Some medications used to treat schizophrenia inhibit the replication of T. gondii in cell culture. Establishing the role of T. gondii in the etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia might lead to new medications for its prevention and treatment.
TESTING PORTFOLIO CHOICE UNIT A CORRELATED BACKGROUND RISK

Recent empirical evidence has tested the theoretical prediction of risk substitution theory: households faced with undiversi.able sources of risk on their income tend to participate less in the stockmarket and to hold less stocks than those with a more stable income. One of the most important sources of undiversi.able income is human capital. Previous empirical work measuring the importance of earnings risk have been successful though unsatisfactory. This paper tests whether the correlation between human capital and . nancial capital shocks leads to more satisfactory empirical results. Using a recent survey of French data, we are able to show that households reporting a negative correlation between both, tend to participate more in the stock market. We o¤er a candidate explanation for rejecting risk substitution behaviour in previous country-speci.c empirical studies. ¤We acknowledge ”Federation Jourdan” for . nancial support to elaborate the survey and to the European Community’s Human Potential Programme under contract HPRNCT-2002-00235 [AGE].

Blind Trust Online: Experimental Evidence from Baseball Cards

Before reaping transaction cost savings from the Internet, online sellers must credibly communicate the quality of their goods or their reliability of delivery. We use baseball cards as an example to address (1) whether consumers fully understand the risk of online trading, (2) the extent to which consumers employ seller reputation and professional grading to alleviate the risk they are exposed to, and (3) the impact of online trading on the retail market and supporting industries. An experiment is carried out to obtain actual baseball cards from both online and retail markets whose quality is then professionally graded and compared to the prices paid by online buyers for goods with similar claims. Our findings indicate that some uninformed online buyers are misled by non-credible claims of quality; they pay higher prices but do not receive better quality and in fact are defrauded more often. Although a combination of professional grading and reputation mechanisms appear to have the potential to solve the problem, they have only had limited success so far. Data on structural changes in the baseball card industry suggest the problems stemming from buyer misconception may have far-reaching consequences, extending beyond the immediate losses of defrauded consumers to influencing producer and supply decisions. Our findings also suggest that empirical studies using online price data should be careful of what assumptions they are making of online users and what behaviors of buyers and sellers are likely to drive the price data.
Assessment of thoracoabdominal bands to detect respiratory effort-related arousal

It would be helpful to be able to identify respiratory effort-related arousal (RERA) without needing to measure oesophageal pressure. Thoracoabdominal movements yield an indirect flow measurement from which reduction of amplitude and alteration of the inspiratory flow curve can be detected. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of using the shape and amplitude of signals from thoracoabdominal bands (inductance plethysmography) to detect RERAs. Altogether, 94 subjects suspected of having sleep apnoea but with an apnoea/hypopnoea index ≤10 in full polysomnography with oesophageal pressure were studied. A routine polysomnographical analysis was carried out. The polysomnographies were then reanalysed at random to determine which of the identified arousals were due to RERA, as determined either by oesophageal pressure or by induction bands without an oesophageal pressure signal. Altogether, 14,617 arousals were analysed. The sensitivity and specificity to find RERA (arousal by arousal) from bands versus oesophageal pressure were both 94%. The average difference of RERA index between oesophageal pressure and bands was −0.6. The correlation between RERA index determined by oesophageal pressure and bands was 0.98. To evaluate the intra and interobserver agreement, 1183 arousals were additionally analysed. The intraobserver agreement was 91% for RERAs by oesophageal pressure and 80% by bands. The interobserver agreement was 89% by oesophageal pressure and 85% by bands. The thoracoabdominal bands can be used to identify respiratory effort-related arousal (obstructive events not detected by thermistor) with similar efficacy to oesophageal pressure measurement. Since bands are routinely used in most polysomnographies, they can be used as the usual method to detect respiratory effort-related arousal, using a thermistor to evaluate apnoeas and hypopnoeas or as a complement to other methods, such as nasal cannula, which can detect apnoeas, hypopnoeas and respiratory effort-related arousal.
BetaProbe: A probability based method for predicting beta sheet topology using integer programming

Accurate prediction of β-sheet topology is one of the most important open problems of modern computational biology. B-sheet topology prediction is an intermediate step toward the protein tertiary structure prediction. Here, a probability-based method called “BetaProbe” is presented for the β-sheet topologies prediction for proteins up to six β-strands. In this method, first, the best closed β-sheet topology for a set of β-strands is determined. Then the most frequent and stable open β-sheet topology is found. In the proposed method, the optimum pairwise alignment between β-strands is determined using the dynamic programming approach. In finding the best closed β-sheet topology, integer optimization is used. In order to predict more accurate paired β-strands, pairwise interaction probabilities are combined with integer programming. In BetaProbe more frequent and more stable conformations have greater chances of being selected. Experimental results show that BetaProbe significantly outperforms the most recent integer programming-based method.

THE CAREER ADAPT-ABILITIES SCALE-INDONESIAN FORM: PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES AND CONSTRUCT VALIDITY

Studying in college, students start thinking about the future, going to work after graduation, thinking of the desired job. Students learn about the various jobs that can be occupied according to the current education. Career development is very important all along. This study examines the psychometric behavior of career adaptation (CAAS) in Indonesia. CAAS consists of four subscales, each with six items to measure concern, control, curiosity and confidence. Participants in this study were students at one university in Surabaya, Indonesia (N = 281). This study analyzes the goodness of fit conceptual model on the students, validity and reliability of instrument discriminant. Test validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and test reliability using Alpha Cronbach. The results provide strong psychometric support for CAAS-Indonesian Forms with a student subject as a valid measure to analyze their career adaptability. The factor structure of the CAAS-Indonesia is similar to the hierarchical four-factor model of the CAASInternational.
Downregulation of miR‐133b predict progression and poor prognosis in patients with urothelial carcinoma of bladder

We found microRNA‐133b (miR‐133b) was downregulated in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) tissues, and it could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis in UCB cells. Consequently, we intend to explore the clinical significance of miR‐133b in UCB patients. Expression of miR‐133b in 146 UCB specimens and matched adjacent non‐neoplastic bladder tissues were measured by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction. The overall survival (OS) curve and progression‐free survival (PFS) curve were plotted using the Kaplan–Meier method. Prognostic factors for OS and PFS were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The expression of miR‐133b was significantly downregulated in UCB tissues compared with those in adjacent non‐neoplastic bladder tissues (P < 0.001). Among UCB patients, low expression of miR‐133b significantly correlated with aggressive clinicopathological features. Multivariate analysis indicated that the expression of miR‐133b was the independent prognostic factors for predicting PFS (RR: 2.97; 95% CI: 1.78–6.44; P = 0.009) and OS (RR: 4.23; 95% CI: 1.51–11.8; P = 0.011) in patients with UCB. Our study demonstrated that downregulation of miR‐133b associated with aggressive clinicopathological features and predicted unfavorable prognosis in patients with UCB, might serve as feasible biomarker for clinical outcome of UCB patients after surgery and potential therapeutic target in the future.
Multi touch shape recognition for projected capacitive touch screen

Devices equipped by touch screens are nowadays widely diffused. One of the most meaningful factor which leads to this success is their easy and intuitive interface which allows a friendly user-device interaction. Touch shape recognition is a topic which has contributed to the realization of these types of interfaces. In this paper we propose a solution able to discriminate among different classes of touch shapes. We focus on the problem of recognizing typical touches performed in mid-sized devices as tablets and phablets. The proposed solution discriminates among single finger, multiple fingers and palm by reaching high recognition accuracy and maintaining a low computational complexity.
Presupposition Projection in Quantified Sentences and Cross-Dimensional Anaphora ̊

Presupposition projection is one of the most widely discussed topics in modern formal semantics and pragmatics, and a multitude of theories in various formal frameworks have been put forward in the literature (for overviews, see Beaver 2001, Chierchia & McConnell-Ginet 2000, Geurts 1999, Kadmon 2001, Beaver & Geurts 2011). Although these theories significantly differ both in empirical predictions and in ways in which they conceive of presuppositional inferences, the problem of presupposition projection through quantificational expressions is a common tantalizing problem, and has been actively investigated in a number of different theoretical set-ups (e.g. Karttunen & Peters 1979, Cooper 1983, Heim 1983, Van der Sandt 1992, Beaver 1994, 2001, Beaver & Krahmer 2001, Fox 2008, 2012, George 2008a,b, Schlenker 2008, Charlow 2009, Chemla 2009b, Schlenker 2009, Fox 2012). Simply put, the problem of presuppositions in quantified sentences is how to explain the presuppositions of sentences of the form QpRqpSq from the meaning of Q and the meanings of R and S, where Q is a quantificational determiner and R and S are its restrictor and nuclear scope potentially with presuppositions. For expository purposes, we will first concentrate on cases where only the nuclear scope S has a presupposition, and will come back to presupposition projection out of the restrictor R later in the paper (Section 5). The main empirical challenge of this puzzle consists in the fact that different quantifiers have different projection properties. Consider, for instance, the sentences in (1), where the predicate criticized herself has a presupposition that the subject is female (Cooper 1983, Heim & Kratzer 1998).
Investigating QoS of Real-World Web Services

Quality of service (QoS) is widely employed for describing nonfunctional characteristics of web services. Although QoS of web services has been investigated intensively in the field of service computing, there is a lack of real-world web service QoS data sets for validating various QoS-based techniques and models. To investigate QoS of real-world web services and to provide reusable research data sets for future research, we conduct several large-scale evaluations on real-world web services. First, addresses of 21,358 web services are obtained from the Internet. Then, three large-scale real-world evaluations are conducted. In our evaluations, more than 30 million real-world web service invocations are conducted on web services in more than 80 countries by users from more than 30 counties. Detailed evaluation results are presented in this paper and comprehensive web service QoS data sets are publicly released online.

Secure Massive MIMO Systems With Limited RF Chains

In future practical deployments of massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, the number of radio-frequency (RF) chains at the base stations (BSs) may be much smaller than the number of BS antennas to reduce the overall expenditure. In this correspondence, we propose a novel design framework for joint data and artificial noise (AN) precoding in a multiuser massive MIMO system with limited number of RF chains, which improves the wireless security performance. With imperfect channel state information (CSI), we analytically derive an achievable lower bound on the ergodic secrecy rate of any mobile terminal (MT) for both analog and hybrid precoding schemes. The closed-form lower bound is used to determine optimal power splitting between data and AN that maximizes the secrecy rate through simple 1-D search. Analytical and numerical results together reveal that the proposed hybrid precoder, although suffering from reduced secrecy rate compared with the theoretical full-dimensional precoder, is free of the high computational complexity of large-scale matrix inversion and null-space calculations and largely reduces the hardware cost.
Optimum design and selection of heat sinks

An analytical simulation model has been developed for predicting and optimizing the thermal performance of bidirectional fin heat sinks in a partially confined configuration. Sample calculations are carried out, and parametric plots are provided, illustrating the effect of various design parameters on the performance of a heat sink. It is observed that the actual convection flow velocity through fins is usually unknown to designers, yet, is one of the parameters that greatly affect the overall thermal performance of a heat sink. In this paper, a simple method of determining the fin flow velocity is presented, and the development of the overall thermal model is described. An overview of different types of heat sinks and associated design parameters is provided. Optimization of heat-sink designs and typical parametric behaviors are discussed based on the sample simulation results.
Governance Values in the Climate Change Regime: Stakeholder Perceptions of REDD+ Legitimacy at the National Level

This paper presents the results of two national-level studies of REDD+ governance values in Nepal and Papua New Guinea (PNG), using a hierarchical framework of principles, criteria, and indicators (PC&I), with evaluation at the indicator level. The research was conducted by means of an online survey to determine general perspectives on the governance quality of REDD+, as well as stakeholder workshops, in which participants were asked to rank indicators on the basis of perceived national significance. In the online survey, respondents in both countries identified inclusiveness and resources as the highest and lowest scoring governance values, while inclusiveness, resources, accountability, and transparency, were given priority, although their relative importance differed between countries given national circumstances. The reasons for the commonalities and differences of perceptions between these countries are discussed. The findings suggest that while a generic set of governance values may be usefully applied for determining the institutional legitimacy of REDD+, their relative importance is different. This leads to the conclusion that it may not be appropriate to use a simplified approach to REDD+ governance, focusing for example on safeguards, given different national priorities and contexts.
