Determination Of Effective Critical Success Factors In Successful Implementation Of ERP By Using Fuzzy Dematel Method

Successful Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation is very important issue in today’s globalised world trade and depends on paying high attention on critical success factors (CSFs) affecting ERP implementation. In our study, we analyzed 8 CSFs by using fuzzy DEMATEL methodology which serves a highly effective structural decision making system for modeling cause and effect relationships. Among 8 CSFs, top management support and project team leader who commit himself/herself to ERP implementation success are found to be the most important factors that influenced other factors. This study is the first reference in the literature which uses a fuzzy DEMATEL technique in determination of effective CSFs in implementation of successful ERP
Challenges for New Teachers and Ways of Coping with Them

The first year of a teacher’s career can determine their longevity within the field of education. The issues of first year teachers were analyzed through a grounded theory qualitative research analysis. The results of this study indicate that a first year teacher may feel stress, lack appropriate support, and may feel unprepared to handle behavioral and academic issues among their students. Based on the literature review, the implementation of mentoring programs between new and experienced teachers not only benefited novice teachers but guided them to cope and face the anxieties during the first year in the classroom. Further implications are presented in the regarding some mentoring programs and the impact for first year teachers when not implemented due to limited funding and/or lack of administrative support.
A Dark Side of Happiness? How, When, and Why Happiness Is Not Always Good

Happiness is generally considered a source of good outcomes. Research has highlighted the ways in which happiness facilitates the pursuit of important goals, contributes to vital social bonds, broadens people’s scope of attention, and increases well-being and psychological health. However, is happiness always a good thing? This review suggests that the pursuit and experience of happiness might sometimes lead to negative outcomes. We focus on four questions regarding this purported “dark side” of happiness. First, is there a wrong degree of happiness? Second, is there a wrong time for happiness? Third, are there wrong ways to pursue happiness? Fourth, are there wrong types of happiness? Cumulatively, these lines of research suggest that although happiness is often highly beneficial, it may not be beneficial at every level, in every context, for every reason, and in every variety.

En este sentido, la primera observacion se refiere a la velocidad de la renovacion del saber y del saber hacer. Por primera vez en la historia de la humanidad, la mayor parte de los conocimientos adquiridos por una persona al inicio de su vida profesional, seran obsoletos al final de su carrera
On the ¹–¹ boundedness of operators

We prove that if q is in (1, oo), Y is a Banach space, and T is a linear operator defined on the space of finite linear combinations of (1,q)-atoms in R n with the property that sup{∥Ta∥Y: a is a (1,g)-atom} < oo, then T admits a (unique) continuous extension to a bounded linear operator from H 1 (R n ) to Y. We show that the same is true if we replace (1,q)-atoms by continuous (1, oo)-atoms. This is known to be false for (1, oo)-atoms.
Fully dynamic randomized algorithms for graph spanners

Spanner of an undirected graph <i>G</i> = (<i>V,E</i>) is a subgraph that is sparse and yet preserves all-pairs distances approximately. More formally, a spanner with <i>stretch</i> <i>t</i> ∈ ℕ is a subgraph (<i>V,E<sub>S</sub></i>), <i>E<sub>S</sub></i> ⊆ <i>E</i> such that the distance between any two vertices in the subgraph is at most <i>t</i> times their distance in <i>G</i>. Though <i>G</i> is trivially a <i>t</i>-spanner of itself, the research as well as applications of spanners invariably deal with a <i>t</i>-spanner that has as small number of edges as possible. We present fully dynamic algorithms for maintaining spanners in centralized as well as synchronized distributed environments. These algorithms are designed for undirected unweighted graphs and use randomization in a crucial manner. Our algorithms significantly improve the existing fully dynamic algorithms for graph spanners. The expected size (number of edges) of a <i>t</i>-spanner maintained at each stage by our algorithms matches, up to a polylogarithmic factor, the worst case optimal size of a <i>t</i>-spanner. The expected amortized time (or messages communicated in distributed environment) to process a single insertion/deletion of an edge by our algorithms is <i>close</i> to optimal.
Prediction of Reproductive Outcomes According to Different Serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone Levels in Females Undergoing Intracystoplasmic Sperm Injection

Background and aim of the study Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a reliable marker of ovarian reserve, and it has been shown to be correlated with reproductive outcomes in grouped analyses. However, practical data is scarce for the physician and the patients to predict these outcomes in an individual couple according to serum AMH measured prior to assisted reproduction technology (ART) procedures. Study Design To address this question, we performed an analytic observational study including 145 females undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in a single center. Results were analyzed according to serum AMH; subgroup analyses were performed by grouping patients according to patient’s age and FSH levels. Results The risk of cycle cancelation decreased from 64% in patients with serum AMH ≤3 pmol/L (0.42 ng/mL) to 21% with AMH ≥15 pmol/L (2.10 ng/mL). Cycle cancelation occurred in approximately two-thirds of the patients with AMH ≤ 3 pmol/L irrespective of the FSH level. However, with higher AMH values the risk of cycle cancelation decreased more significantly in patients with normal FSH. The rate of good response increased from almost null in patients with AMH ≤3 pmol/L to 61% in those with AMH ≥15 pmol/L. The positive correlation between good response and AMH was also significant, but with lower absolute rates, when patients were grouped according to their age or FSH levels. Pregnancy rate increased moderately, but significantly, from 31% with AMH ≤3 pmol/L to 35% with AMH ≥15 pmol/L. Conclusions We provide estimates of reproductive outcomes according to individualized values of serum AMH, in general and in subgroups according to patient’s age or serum FSH, which are helpful for the clinician and the couple in their decision making about starting an assisted reproductive treatment.
Cardiorespiratory responses of white sturgeon to environmental hypercapnia.

Cardioventilatory variables and blood-gas, acid-base status were measured in cannulated white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) maintained at 19 degrees C during normocapnic and hypercapnic (Pw(CO(2)) approximately 20 Torr) water conditions and after the injection of adrenergic analogs. Hypercapnia produced significant increases in arterial PCO(2), ventilatory frequency, and plasma concentration of cortisol and epinephrine, and it produced significant decreases in arterial pH and plasma concentration of glucose but no change in arterial PO(2), hematocrit, and concentration of lactate or norepinephrine. Hypercapnia significantly increased cardiac output (Q) by 22%, mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 8%, and heart rate (HR) by 8%. However, gut blood flow (GBF) remained constant. In normocapnic fish, phenylephrine significantly constricted the splanchnic circulation, whereas isoproterenol significantly increased Q and produced a systemic vasodilation. During hypercapnia, propranolol significantly decreased Q, GBF, MAP, and HR, whereas phentolamine significantly decreased MAP and increased GBF. These changes suggest that cardiovascular function in the white sturgeon is sensitive to both alpha- and beta-adrenergic modulation. We found microspheres to be unreliable in predicting GBF on the basis of our comparisons with simultaneous direct measurements of GBF. Overall, our results demonstrate that environmental hypercapnia (e.g., as is experienced in high-intensity culture situations) elicits stress responses in white sturgeon that significantly elevate steady-state cardiovascular and ventilatory activity levels.
A Tropical Cyclone Genesis Parameter for the Tropical Atlantic

Abstract A parameter to evaluate the potential for tropical cyclone formation (genesis) in the North Atlantic between Africa and the Caribbean islands is developed. Climatologically, this region is the source of about 40% of the Atlantic basin tropical cyclones but roughly 60% of the major hurricanes. The genesis parameter is the product of appropriately scaled 5-day running mean vertical shear, vertical instability, and midlevel moisture variables. The instability and shear variables are calculated from operational NCEP analyses, and the midlevel moisture variable is determined from cloud-cleared GOES water vapor imagery. The average shear and instability variables from 1991 to 1999 and moisture variable from 1995 to 1999 indicate that tropical cyclone formation in the early part of the season is limited by the vertical instability and midlevel moisture. Formation at the end of the season is limited by the vertical shear. On average, there is only a short period from mid-July to mid-October when all thre.
Influence of Ovarian Hormones on Cortical Spreading Depression and Its Suppression by L-kynurenine in Rat

Migraine is sexually dimorphic and associated in 20–30% of patients with an aura most likely caused by cortical spreading depression (CSD). We have previously shown that systemic L-kynurenine (L-KYN), the precursor of kynurenic acid, suppresses CSD and that this effect depends on the stage of the estrous cycle in female rats. The objectives here are to determine the influence of ovarian hormones on KCl-induced CSD and its suppression after L-KYN by directly modulating estradiol or progesterone levels in ovariectomized rats. Adult female rats were ovariectomized and subcutaneously implanted with silastic capsules filled with progesterone or 17β-estradiol mixed with cholesterol, with cholesterol only or left empty. Two weeks after the ovariectomy/capsule implantation, the animals received an i.p. injection of L-KYN (300 mg/kg) or NaCl as control. Thirty minutes later CSDs were elicited by applying KCl over the occipital cortex and recorded by DC electrocorticogram for 1 hour. The results show that both estradiol and progesterone increase CSD frequency after ovariectomy. The suppressive effect of L-KYN on CSD frequency, previously reported in normal cycling females, is not found anymore after ovariectomy, but reappears after progesterone replacement therapy. Taken together, these results emphasize the complex role of sex hormones on cortical excitability. The CSD increase by estradiol and, more surprisingly, progesterone may explain why clinically migraine with aura appears or worsens during pregnancy or with combined hormonal treatments.
HYDROSTATIC GAS CONSTRAINTS ON SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE MASSES: IMPLICATIONS FOR HYDROSTATIC EQUILIBRIUM AND DYNAMICAL MODELING IN A SAMPLE OF EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES

We present new mass measurements for the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the centers of three early-type galaxies. The gas pressure in the surrounding, hot interstellar medium (ISM) is measured through spatially resolved spectroscopy with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, allowing the SMBH mass (MBH) to be inferred directly under the hydrostatic approximation. This technique does not require calibration against other SMBH measurement methods and its accuracy depends only on the ISM being close to hydrostatic, which is supported by the smooth X-ray isophotes of the galaxies. Combined with results from our recent study of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4649, this brings the number of galaxies with SMBHs measured in this way to four. Of these, three already have mass determinations from the kinematics of either the stars or a central gas disk, and hence join only a handful of galaxies with MBH measured by more than one technique. We find good agreement between the different methods, providing support for the assumptions implicit in both the hydrostatic and the dynamical models. The stellar mass-to-light ratios for each galaxy inferred by our technique are in agreement with the predictions of stellar population synthesis models assuming a Kroupa initial mass function (IMF). This concurrence implies that no more than ∼10%–20% of the ISM pressure is nonthermal, unless there is a conspiracy between the shape of the IMF and nonthermal pressure. Finally, we compute Bondi accretion rates , finding that the two galaxies with the highest exhibit little evidence of X-ray cavities, suggesting that the correlation with the active galactic nuclei jet power takes time to be established.
Taking a Bite Out of the Crime Issue: Congressional Candidates and Partisan Benefits

This article examines the common assertion that the Republican Party “owns” the issue of crime, which holds that the party has garnered electoral support when crime is a salient political issue. Competing explanations about the origins of the American public’s crime concern are tested in an electoral context. Utilizing data on races for the U.S. House of Representatives and races for the U.S. Senate held from 1974 to 2008, the analyses show that increased salience of crime has provided electoral benefits for Republican candidates. Furthermore, they show that Republicans have increased these gains by responsively catering their message to the issue at times of peak concern. Altogether, the results provide support for Republican issue ownership of crime.
The Information Book Flood: Is Additional Exposure Enough to Support Early Literacy Development?

The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the influence of a book distribution program targeted at enhancing children’s exposure to information books. The research examined whether a flood of information books in early childhood settings, placing libraries in a central role, could affect growth in language, content-related vocabulary, and concepts of comprehending information text. Fifteen childcare centers in a high-poverty urban area participated in the project (N = 501): 5 centers with libraries that were infused with information books and a monthly distribution program, 5 centers with libraries but no additional supports, and 5 “business as usual” centers. Multilevel modeling and analyses of covariance indicated that although the centers might have benefited from greater access to these resources, there were no significant effects on children’s outcomes. Findings suggest that both the theoretical and practical applications of book distribution programs need to be reevaluated if we are to improve child outcomes.
Linguistic features for Hindi light verb construction identification

Light verb constructions (LVC) in Hindi are highly productive. If we can distinguish a case such as nirnay lenaa ‘decision take; decide’ from an ordinary verb-argument combination kaagaz lenaa ‘paper take; take (a) paper’,it has been shown to aid NLP applications such as parsing (Begum et al., 2011) and machine translation (Pal et al., 2011). In this paper, we propose an LVC identification system using language specific features for Hindi which shows an improvement over previous work(Begum et al., 2011). To build our system, we carry out a linguistic analysis of Hindi LVCs using Hindi Treebank annotations and propose two new features that are aimed at capturing the diversity of Hindi LVCs in the corpus. We find that our model performs robustly across a diverse range of LVCs and our results underscore the importance of semantic features, which is in keeping with the findings for English. Our error analysis also demonstrates that our classifier can be used to further refine LVC annotations in the Hindi Treebank and make them more consistent across the board.
Canonical variables and analysis on so(n,2)

The approach of Berezin to the quantization of so(n,2) via generalized coherent states is considered in detail. A family of n commuting observables is found in which the basis for an associated Fock-type representation space is expressed. An interesting feature is that computations can be done by explicit matrix calculations in a particular basis. The basic technical tool is the Leibniz function, the inner product of coherent states.
The Reverse Shock of SNR 1987A at 18 Years after Outburst

We use low-dispersion spectra obtained at the Magellan Observatory to study the broad Hα emission from the reverse shock of the infant supernova remnant SNR 1987A. These spectra demonstrate that the spatiokinematic structure of the reverse shock can be distinguished from that of the circumstellar ring and hot spots, even at ground-based spatial resolution. We measure a total dereddened Hα flux of 1.99(±0.22) × 10-13 ergs s-1 cm-2 at an epoch 18.00 yr after outburst. At 50 kpc, the total reverse shock luminosity in Hα is roughly 15 L☉, which implies a total flux of neutral hydrogen atoms across the reverse shock of 8.9 × 1046 s-1, or roughly 2.3 × 10-3 M☉ yr-1. This represents an increase by a factor of ~4 since 1997. Lyman continuum radiation from gas shocked by the forward blast wave can ionize neutral hydrogen atoms in the supernova debris before they reach the reverse shock. If the inward flux of ionizing photons exceeds the flux of hydrogen atoms approaching the reverse shock, this preionization will shut off the broad Lyα and Hα emission. The observed X-ray emission of SNR 1987A implies that the ratio of ionizing flux to hydrogen atom flux across the reverse shock is presently at least 0.04. The X-ray emission is increasing much faster than the flux of atoms, and if these trends continue, we estimate that the broad Lyα and Hα emission will vanish in ≲ 7 yr.
Performance and Safety of STAR Glycaemic Control in Neonatal Intensive Care: Further Clinical Results Including Pilot Results from a New Protocol Implementation

Abstract Elevated blood glucose concentrations (BG) (Hyperglycaemia) are a common complication of prematurity in extremely low birth weight neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and are associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Insulin therapy allows glucose tolerance and weight gain to be increased. However, insulin therapy is commonly associated with a significant increase in low BG events (hypoglycaemia), which is also associated with adverse outcomes. Controlling BG levels via nutrition restriction reduces infant growth and is thus undesirable. STAR (Stochastic TARgeted) is a model-based glycaemic framework that mitigates the risks of hypoglycaemia through quantification of current insulin sensitivity and future variability. From August 2008 to December 2012 40 patients totaling 61 glycaemic episodes were treated with STAR in the NICU (STAR-NICU). Percentage time in the clinically targeted 4.0-8.0 mmol/L band was 62%, a 14% increase compared to retrospective data and hyperglycaemia (BG>10.0mmol/L) was halved. Overall incidence of severe hypoglycemia (BG
Recognition and Accommodation at the Androgen Receptor Coactivator Binding Interface

Prostate cancer is a leading killer of men in the industrialized world. Underlying this disease is the aberrant action of the androgen receptor (AR). AR is distinguished from other nuclear receptors in that after hormone binding, it preferentially responds to a specialized set of coactivators bearing aromatic-rich motifs, while responding poorly to coactivators bearing the leucine-rich “NR box” motifs favored by other nuclear receptors. Under normal conditions, interactions with these AR-specific coactivators through aromatic-rich motifs underlie targeted gene transcription. However, during prostate cancer, abnormal association with such coactivators, as well as with coactivators containing canonical leucine-rich motifs, promotes disease progression. To understand the paradox of this unusual selectivity, we have derived a complete set of peptide motifs that interact with AR using phage display. Binding affinities were measured for a selected set of these peptides and their interactions with AR determined by X-ray crystallography. Structures of AR in complex with FxxLF, LxxLL, FxxLW, WxxLF, WxxVW, FxxFF, and FxxYF motifs reveal a changing surface of the AR coactivator binding interface that permits accommodation of both AR-specific aromatic-rich motifs and canonical leucine-rich motifs. Induced fit provides perfect mating of the motifs representing the known family of AR coactivators and suggests a framework for the design of AR coactivator antagonists.
