Building a Sentiment Summarizer for Local Service Reviews

Online user reviews are increasingly becoming the de-facto standard for measuring the quality of electronics, restau- rants, merchants, etc. The sheer volume of online reviews makes it difficult for a human to process and extract all meaningful information in order to make an educated pur- chase. As a result, there has been a trend toward systems that can automatically summarize opinions from a set of re- views and display them in an easy to process manner (1, 9). In this paper, we present a system that summarizes the sen- timent of reviews for a local service such as a restaurant or hotel. In particular we focus on aspect-based summarization models (8), where a summary is built by extracting relevant aspects of a service, such as service or value, aggregating the sentiment per aspect, and selecting aspect-relevant text. We describe the details of both the aspect extraction and sentiment detection modules of our system. A novel aspect of these models is that they exploit user provided labels and domain specific characteristics of service reviews to increase quality.
Methodological Issues in the Neuroscience of Moral Judgement

Neuroscience and psychology have recently turned their attention to the study of the subpersonal underpinnings of moral judgment. In this article we critically examine an influential strand of research originating in Greene's neuroimaging studies of ‘utilitarian’ and ‘non-utilitarian’ moral judgement. We argue that given that the explananda of this research are specific personal-level states—moral judgments with certain propositional contents—its methodology has to be sensitive to criteria for ascribing states with such contents to subjects. We argue that current research has often failed to meet this constraint by failing to correctly ‘fix’ key aspects of moral judgment, criticism we support by detailed examples from the scientific literature.
Estrogen stimulates osteoprotegerin expression via the suppression of miR-145 expression in MG-63 cells

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is implicated in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis, and other metabolic bone diseases caused by estrogen deficiency. Previous studies have demonstrated that estrogen may stimulate OPG expression in osteoblast cells at the transcriptional level; however, whether estrogen can regulate OPG expression at a post-transcriptional level remains elusive. The present study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA (miRNA) in estrogen-mediated OPG production in human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. The results from ELISA, western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) confirmed that estrogen may upregulate OPG expression. Mechanistic studies indicated that estrogen increased the activity of a luciferase reporter harboring the OPG 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR). Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that there is a potential targeting site in the OPG 3′-UTR for miRNA (miR)-145, which is associated with osteoblast differentiation. The results of an RT-qPCR suggested that estrogen suppressed miR-145 expression. In addition, dual-luciferase assay, RT-qPCR and western blot analysis indicated that miR-145 directly targets and negatively regulates OPG expression. Furthermore, transfection of cells with miR-145 mimics was able to partially inhibit the induction of OPG expression by estrogen, thus confirming the role of miR-145 in estrogen-mediated OPG induction. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that estrogen may post-transcriptionally regulate OPG expression through suppression of miR-145 expression.
Redescription of Corallobothrium solidum (Cestoda: Proteocephalidea) and Erection of A New Genus, Essexiella, For Tapeworms from Channel Catfishes (Ictaluridae)

abstract: The proteocephalidean tapeworm, Corallobothrium solidum, type species of the genus, is redescribed on the basis of the examination of its type specimens and extensive material recently collected from Malapterurus electricus (type host). Some morphological characteristics of taxonomic importance are reported for the first time, such as the presence of semispherical (U-shaped) sphincters on the external (outer) margin of the suckers, a vaginal sphincter, a well-developed seminal receptacle, and a unique morphology of the eggs. Corallobothrium solidum differs from the 2 remaining species of the genus, both parasitic in channel catfishes (Ictaluridae), in its scolex shape, morphology of its suckers, presence of longitudinal and transverse grooves on the body surface, dense network of excretory canals in the apical part of the scolex, morphology of the eggs, and uterine development. The non-monophyletic nature of Corallobothrium is further supported by molecular data (partial sequences of the 28S rRNA gene) because C. solidum and the 2 remaining species from ictalurids do not form a monophyletic assemblage. Therefore, Essexiella n. gen. is proposed to accommodate Essexiella fimbriatum new comb. (type and only species; syn. Corallobothrium fimbriatum) from channel catfish. Essexiella n. gen. differs from Corallobothrium, Megathylacoides, and Megathylacus by the absence of a sphincter in the suckers, from Corallotaenia by the shape of the scolex and the number and shape of proglottids, and from Paraproteocephalus by the structure of the uterus. The diagnosis of Corallobothrium, which becomes monotypic and restricted to electric catfishes in Africa, is emended. The remaining species of Corallobothrium, Corallobothrium parafimbriatum, is tentatively transferred to Corallotaenia as Corallotaenia parafimbriata n. comb. , based on molecular data, small size of the strobila, and shape of the scolex.
Safe type checking in a statically-typed object-oriented programming language

In this paper we introduce a statically-typed, functional, object-oriented programming language, TOOPL, which supports classes, objects, methods, instance variable, subtypes, and inheritance. It has proved to be surprisingly difficult to design statically-typed object-oriented languages which are nearly as expressive as Smalltalk and yet have no holes in their typing systems. A particular problem with statically type checking object-oriented languages is determining whether a method provided in a superclass will continue to type check when inherited in a subclass. This program is solved in our language by providing type checking rules which guarantee that a method which type checks as part of a class will type check correctly in all legal subclasses in which it is inherited. This feature enables library providers to provide only the interfaces of classes with executables and still allow users to safely create subclasses. The design of TOOPL has been guided by an analysis of the semantics of the language, which is given in terms of a sufficiently rich model of the F-bounded second-order lambda calculus. This semantics supported the language design by providing a means of proving that the type-checking rules for the language are sound, ensuring that well-typed terms produce objects of the appropriate type. In particular, in a well-typed program it is impossible to send a message to an object which lacks a corresponding method.
Therapist behaviour during one-session exposure treatment of spider phobia: Individual vs group setting

Abstract Therapist behaviours during treatment of 54 patients with spider phobia by massed exposure during one single session, individually, in a small group (3–4), or in a large group (7–8) were studied using videotaped recordings and rated on a 5-grade scale by two independent observers. The behaviours observed more frequently in the individual treatment than in the group treatment were reality testing, feedback, and empathy. Physical contact and determination were used significantly more often in the group treatment. Furthermore, differences in behaviours used in different phases of the treatment were found. Humour increased from the beginning of the treatment through the middle and final phases of the session. Demonstration and role play decreased from the beginning of the treatment through the middle and final phases of the session. Outcome on the behaviour approach test was predicted by three variables (positively by physical contact, and negatively by instruction and assurance), and on the Spider P.
Discovery of four natural clones in a crayfish species Procambarus clarkii

Self-cloning is quite rare in shrimp, lobsters, crayfish and crabs. Here we report the discovery of four natural clones of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), each containing 2-6 genetically identical individuals, during the genotyping of 120 individuals with five microsatellites. The four clones were heterozygote at most of the five microsatellite loci. Phylogenetic analysis using microsatellite genotypes suggests recent origin of the four clones. Sequencing a part of the mitochondrial gene Cox I confirmed that the four clones were from the species Procambarus clarkii.
Position control of induction and DC servomotors: a novel adaptive fuzzy PI sliding mode control

The position control of a class of servomotors is addressed in this paper via a novel adaptive fuzzy PI sliding mode control. The premise and the consequence parts of the fuzzy rules are tuned with adaptive schemes. To attenuate chattering effectively the discontinuous control is approximated by an adaptive PI control structure. Moreover, the bound of the discontinuous control term is assumed unknown and an adaptive mechanism is used to estimate this bound. All adaptive laws are derived via Lyapunov synthesis method, thereby guaranteeing the closed-loop stability. The proposed approach has the added advantage that for external disturbances it only requires a bound to exist, without needing to know the magnitude of this bound. The proposed controller is applied to control a model of uncertain induction servomotor subject to significant disturbances and a model of DC servomotor with unknown parameters and uncertainty in load condition. Analysis of simulations reveals the effectiveness of the proposed method in controlling servomotors in terms of significant reduction in chattering while maintaining asymptotic convergence
The contribution of individualism vs. collectivism to cross-national differences in display rules*

Despite the fact that display rules are an important concept of theories of emotion and contemporary psychology, relatively little cross-cultural research has been done on them. This study examined cross-national differences in display rules of emotion, and investigated the degree to which those differences could be attributed to Individualism and Collectivism (IC) measured on the individual level. Participants in the US, Japan, South Korea, and Russia completed a comprehensive measure of display rules assessing behavioral tendencies for seven universal emotions in four social contexts in two rating domains. They also completed Matsumoto et al.’s (1997) Individualism–Collectivism Interpersonal Assessment Inventory. The results confirmed the existence of cross-national differences in IC and display rules, and indicated that IC and display rules were correlated. Significant differences between the countries remained even after IC was controlled for, and effect size analyses comparing cross-national differences when IC was controlled and not indicated that IC accounted for approximately 30% of the effect sizes related to cross-national differences. This study is unique in that it not only used the concept of IC to explain and predict differences; it also quantitatively assessed the degree to which IC contributed to those differences. These findings are discussed in terms of the utility of the IC concept to understanding cross-cultural and cross-national differences in emotion.
Th1-polarizing immunization with egg antigens correlates with severe exacerbation of immunopathology and death in schistosome infection

In schistosomiasis mansoni, parasite eggs precipitate an intrahepatic granulomatous and fibrosing inflammatory process, which is mediated by, and dependent on, MHC class II-restricted CD4 T helper (Th) lymphocytes specific for schistosome egg antigens (SEA). In the mouse model of the disease, CBA mice develop large granulomas, whereas in C57BL/6 (BL/6) mice these granulomas are significantly smaller. To further investigate how the prevailing cytokine environment influences the development of the egg-induced immunopathology, we immunized the low-pathology BL/6 mice with SEA in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) once before, and once again during, the course of a 7-week infection. This immunization caused a pronounced Th1 shift in the SEA-specific CD4 T cell response, which was detected in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and spleens, as well as in the granulomatous lesions themselves. The immunized mice displayed a dramatic enhancement of hepatic egg-induced immunopathology manifested by a marked increase in granuloma size and parenchymal inflammation, leading to early death. Control mice immunized with equivalent amounts of SEA or CFA alone displayed the smaller hepatic lesions in a Th2-dominant environment typically seen in the unimmunized BL/6 mice. Analysis of granuloma and MLN lymphocytes from the SEA/CFA-immunized mice revealed that the proportion of CD4 T cells was unchanged in comparison with the control BL/6 groups and remained significantly lower than that seen in the normally high-pathology CBA strain. These results suggest that the shift toward Th1-type cytokine production by a numerically stable population of CD4 T cells correlates with severe exacerbation of immunopathology in schistosomiasis.
PromAn: an integrated knowledge-based web server dedicated to promoter analysis

PromAn is a modular web-based tool dedicated to promoter analysis that integrates distinct complementary databases, methods and programs. PromAn provides automatic analysis of a genomic region with minimal prior knowledge of the genomic sequence. Prediction programs and experimental databases are combined to locate the transcription start site (TSS) and the promoter region within a large genomic input sequence. Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) can be predicted using several public databases and user-defined motifs. Also, a phylogenetic footprinting strategy, combining multiple alignment of large genomic sequences and assignment of various scores reflecting the evolutionary selection pressure, allows for evaluation and ranking of TFBS predictions. PromAn results can be displayed in an interactive graphical user interface, PromAnGUI. It integrates all of this information to highlight active promoter regions, to identify among the huge number of TFBS predictions those which are the most likely to be potentially functional and to facilitate user refined analysis. Such an integrative approach is essential in the face of a growing number of tools dedicated to promoter analysis in order to propose hypotheses to direct further experimental validations. PromAn is publicly available at .
Aging and Language Switching in Bilinguals

Language switching was studied with a group of bilingual older adults (65 and older) and college-age bilinguals using a cued picture naming paradigm in a blocked (English or Spanish), unpredictable mixed (Spanish and English cues change randomly from trial to trial), and a predictable mixed condition (cues alternate between English and Spanish from trial to trial). Results revealed equivalent error rates and small differences in reaction time (RT) between older adults and college-age participants in the blocked condition. However, older adults showed much slower RTs and made significantly more errors in the mixed conditions. The results are consistent with models that predict deficiencies in task set shifting across the life span.
Whatever Will Be, Will Be: Trust, Fate and the Reflexive Self

This article is a critical discussion of Giddens’s claim that an extended self-reflexivity has emerged as a result of recent social upheavals, providing the individual with the opportunity to construct self-identity without the shackles of tradition and culture, which once limited the options for self-understanding and self-development. Giddens’s emphasis on the declining role of fate concepts and the ascendancy of ‘active trust’ is argued to be inconsistent and incomplete, and it is claimed that the culturally situated nature of modern identity is still essential to an understanding of selfhood. Concepts of fate are used to illustrate the persistence of a partially unreflexive relationship between self-identity and culture. Popular spiritual self-help texts and a range of contemporary examples are used as illustrations in providing an alternative portrayal of reflexivity and self-identity. It is concluded that concepts of fate are just one example of the ways in which self-identity is still meaningfully culturally embedded.
Backward Mapping: Implementation Research and Policy Decisions

Students of implementation repeatedly argue that implementation problems should be considered when policies are made. Better policies would result, we are told, if policymakers would think about whether their decisions could be implemented before they settle on a course of action. The argument is often made in an accusatory way, as if policymakers were somehow deficient for not routinely and systematically thinking about implementation problems. Yet when one looks to the implementation literature for guidance, there is not much to be found. Implementation research is long on description and short on prescription. Most implementation research is case studies. This fact, by itself, is neither good nor bad. But it does present special problems when it comes to translating research into useful guidance for policymakers. Cases, if they are well written, focus on a particular sequence of events and a specific set of causes and consequences. When drawing conclusions from their data, case writers are characteristically and honestly cautious. They are typically careful not to generalize more than a step or two beyond their data, and they do that very apologetically. Thus, when we look to the most influential implementation studies for guidance about how to anticipate implementation problems, we find advice that is desultory and strategically vague.1
Physiological profile of middle-aged male and female tennis players.

Cardiorespiratory characteristics, relative body fat, grip strength and selected skinfolds, circumferences and bone diameters were determined in 25 males and 25 females (31--55 yr) whose exclusive mode of regular exercise was tennis (9.7--11.1 hr/wk). Mean resting heart rates were 54 beats/min for the males and 61 beats/min for the females. Mean resting blood pressures were 117/75 and 107/68 mmHg for the males and females, respectively. Compared to normally active populations of the same age and sex, the tennis players displayed an above average maximal oxygen uptake (mean values equal 50.2 ml/kg.min-1 for the males and 44.2 ml/kg.min-1 for the females), below average relative body fat (mean values equal 19.3% and 20.3% for the males and females, respectively), greater dominant grip strengths, and similar non-dominant grip strengths. The results indicate that either physically superior individuals choose to play tennis, or that regular tennis participation produces above average levels of fitness, or both.
Prediction of breeding values for twinning rate and ovulation rate with a multiple trait, repeated records animal model.

A genetic correlation near unity between ovulation rate in heifers and later twinning frequency led to consideration of using measures of ovulation rate in heifers for each estrous cycle, beginning at puberty, to increase accuracy of selection for twinning rate. An initial evaluation with a multiple trait animal model for predicting breeding values included six genetic groups: 1) selected Scandinavian bulls, 2) transfers from other populations at the Research Center to a twinning project, 3) early-purchased Holsteins, 4) late-purchased Holsteins, 5) early purchases-other breeds, and 6) late purchases-other breeds. For ovulation and twin measures, heritabilities of . 100 and . 070 and repeatabilities of . 120 and . 092 were assumed. Assumed phenotypic correlation between ovulation and twin measures of . 08 was accounted for by genetic correlation of . 89 and permanent environmental correlation of . 19. The number of animals evaluated was 1,745; 6,912 estrous cycles were measured for ovulation rate on 840 heifers and 1,929 parturitions were observed for occurrence of twinning on 851 cows, of which 346 had ovulation rate measured as heifers. The remaining 400 animals were foundation animals that created relationships among those with records or were sires of animals with records. The Scandinavian genetic group effect was substantially greater than that of the others. Joint evaluations were compared to evaluations using only twinning measures. For animals with twin evaluations based only on parents but with ovulation rates measured, the multiple trait evaluation increased accuracy of evaluation from . 62 (twin information only) to . 81.

High-throughput, reliable multicast without "crying babies" in wireless mesh networks

There are two primary challenges to supporting high-throughput, reliable multicast in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). The first is no different from unicast: wireless links are inherently lossy due to varying channel conditions and interference. The second, known as the "crying baby" problem, is unique to multicast: the multicast source may have varying throughput to different multicast receivers, and hence trying to satisfy the reliability requirement for poorly connected receivers can potentially result in performance degradation for the rest of the receivers. In this paper, we propose Pacifier, a new high-throughput reliable multicast protocol. Pacifier seamlessly integrates four building blocks, namely, tree-based opportunistic routing, intra-flow network coding, source rate limiting, and round-robin batching, to support high-throughput, reliable multicast routing in WMNs, while at the same time effectively addresses the "crying baby" problem.

The Transcriptional Co-Regulator HCF-1 Is Required for INS-1 β-cell Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion

The transcriptional co-regulator host cell factor-1 (HCF-1) plays critical roles in promoting cell cycle progression in diverse cell types, and in maintaining self-renewal of embryonic stem cells, but its role in pancreatic β-cell function has not been investigated. Immunhistochemistry of mouse pancreas revealed nuclear expression of HCF-1 in pancreatic islets. Reducing HCF-1 expression in the INS-1 pancreatic β-cell line resulted in reduced cell proliferation, reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and reduced expression of the critical β-cell transcription factor Pdx1. HCF-1 is a known co-activator of the E2F1 transcription factor, and loss of E2F1 results in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and reduced expression of Pdx1. Therefore we wondered whether HCF-1 might be required for E2F1 regulation of Pdx1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that HCF-1 and E2F1 co-localize to the Pdx1 promoter. These results indicate that HCF-1 represents a novel transcriptional regulator required for maintaining pancreatic β-cell function.
