Descriptions of several activities that work well with novels and movies are presented, along with some examples and guidelines for their use. These activities may be adapted for use with other works of literature and their corresponding movies. Finally, a list of titles available in both book and movie form is provided.
Identification and Control of Structural Systems

An overview of our latest research and development is presented on structural system identification of damage detection devoted to reinforced concrete beams and steel-concrete composite beam-to-column joints under monotonic and cyclic lateral loads. Moreover, a real-time compatible algorithm for an adaptive technique in view of the control of structural systems is introduced. In detail, the use of Fibre Bragg Grating sensors for health monitoring of smart reinforced concrete elements and of accelerometers for detecting the variation of curvature and of stiffness in members and beam-to-column joints, respectively, by means of displacement mode shapes, demonstrate the feasibility and versatility of localised identification techniques and sensors to determine damage in view of the functional safety of structures. Moreover, a real-time compatible algorithm based on a Rosenbrock method is suggested for adaptive control systems which are generally used to control plants whose parameters are unknown or uncertain. The adaptive minimal control synthesis algorithm which is a direct adaptive controller is formulated in discrete form in view of a stability analysis of non-linear controllers.
COHERENCE LEVEL PADA DRAFT PROPOSAL SKRIPSI MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN BAHASA INGGRIS UNIMUS

Communicative competence may be represented by the meaning or message delivered by the interlocutor in the spoken language or the writer in the written language. Though, in the written language, the lexical choice and the coherence which is employed by cohesive devices determine the readersâ€™ expectation in understanding a text. In the final project proposal of English education program, the cohesive devices were identified, classified, calculated and interpreted to drawing conclusion. It was found that the highest percentage of ties was causal, followed by additive, adversative and temporal was the least. In the level of wording, conjunction used most to develop coherence rather than ellipsis. However, the final project was actually represented the level of understanding and competence of the students in writing, and it also may represented the portrait of learning evaluation from writing skill. It needs more time and practices to write an acceptable written text which is culturally and semantically appropriate as English is not as a second language, but foreign language.
Access, ethics, and piracy

Ownership of intellectual property rights for a large proportion of the scholarly record is held by publishers, so a majority of journal articles are behind paywalls and unavailable to most people. As a result some readers are encouraged to use pirate websites such as Sci-Hub to access them, a practice that is alternately regarded as criminal and unethical or as a justified act of civil disobedience. This article considers both the efficacy and ethics of piracy, placing ‘guerrilla open access’ within a longer history of piracy and access to knowledge. By doing so, it is shown that piracy is an inevitable part of the intellectual landscape that can render the current intellectual property regime irrelevant. If we wish to actively construct a true scholarly commons, open access emerges as a contender for moving beyond proprietary forms of commodifying scholarly knowledge towards the creation of an open scholarly communication system that is fit for purpose.
Prevalence of non-reporting of hospital medical errors in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Background Medical errors frequently occur in health care facilities, jeopardizing patient safety and increasing associated costs. Aims This cross-sectional investigation examined the rates of and reasons for non-reporting of medical errors at Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Islamic Republic of Iran. Methods Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 283 staff members, including physicians, nurses and medical students. One-way analysis of variance, Fisher's least significant difference post hoc, Spearman correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation tests were used for statistical analyses. Results Almost all (95.8%) participants had observed at least 1 medical error during the previous year, with over half (50.5%) observing 3-10 errors. The preferred method for reporting medical errors among physicians and medical students was verbal and informal (40.3% and 41.8% respectively), while nurses preferred written forms (45.7%). The results indicated significant differences between groups concerning individual and organizational barriers in general, and among all sub-categories (P < 0.001). Conclusion Concerns of legal entanglements and confidentiality issues were recognized as the main barriers to reporting medical errors.
THE OPTIMUM AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF DANDARAWI LAYING HENS FOR OPTIMUM PRODUCTIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE By

Abstract: A total number of one hundred and ninety eight 32 weeks old Dandarawi laying birds (180 hens and 18 cocks) at peak production until 44 weeks of age were used to evaluate some productive and reproductive performance of Dandarawi laying hens under different ambient temperatures. The birds were randomly divided into 3 groups. Each group included sixty hens and six cocks. All birds were housed in 3 floor pens. Each group was kept in an area of 10 square meters provided with deep litter of wheat straw (10 cm). The first, second and third groups were raised under 20 to 22oC, 24 to 26oC, and 28 to 30oC, respectively.
Collusion via Market Allocation ∗

Colluding suppliers regularly organize their collusive conduct based on an allocation of customers or geographic markets among the cartel members. [EI: should we delete “geographic” as it applies also to other cases see frozen fish example] We analyze incentives for suppliers to initiate and sustain a collusive customer or market allocation in a repeated procurement setting. We show that collusion is initiated and sustained for a larger range of discount factors if (i) the timing of buyers’ purchases are staggered rather than synchronized; (ii) the buyers use second-price rather than first-price auctions; (iii) suppliers are stronger; and (iv) buyers are not powerful, i.e. use efficient rather than optimal auctions. We show that in some settings powerful buyers have an incentive to increase the aggressiveness of their reserve prices in order to destabilize and/or deter collusion, although this reduces the probability of trade.
Effects of tetracycline on testis and testosterone level in adult male Wistar rats

Tetracycline is a class of broad spectrum antibiotic drug effective against strains of streptococci, gram negative, bacilli, rickettsias and spirochetes etc. They are used to treat urogenital tract infections (UTIs) and bronchitis. This study accesses the effect of the drug on the testis (connective tissue) and testosterone level in adult male wistar rats. Fifteen adult wistar rats weighing between 165 and 195 g were divided equally into three groups. Group A served as the control that received no treatment, while the experimental groups B and C received 0.02 g/kg b.w (low dose) and 0.04 g/kg b.w (high dose) of tetracycline respectively for fourteen (14) days. The result showed that the staining intensity was reduced in groups B and C as compared to the control group. Dystrophy of the testis connective tissues were noticed, with a corresponding significant diminution in the number of Leydig cells were as well observed in experimental groups B and C. In addition to the aforementioned changes, degeneration of the spermatogonial cells was also observed in group C. Furthermore, hormonal assay shows a great reduction in level of testosterone in groups B and C rats. The overall appearance of the subjects however resembles that of Froelich’s syndrome. This result revealed that tetracycline caused a disruption of the normal environment in the testis and a reduction in testosterone level. However, these changes which may result in male infertility might be dose and time dependent.
Financial Statement Comparability and the Ability of Stock Return to Reflect Future Earnings

We examine whether financial statement comparability affects the ability of stock returns to reflect future earnings (i.e., future earnings response coefficient or FERC). We document that FERCs are greater for firms that are more comparable with their industry peers as comparability enables investors to better interpret financial information with lower costs and thus better anticipate future firm performance. We also find that the role of comparability in the incorporation of future earnings is primarily driven by firm-specific earnings rather than market/industry-level earnings. Our additional synchronicity analyses support that comparability is associated with more firm-specific information reflected in stock prices.
Optimal Segmentation in Platform Strategy : Evidence from Geotargeted Advertising

How should market designers tradeoff liquidity and specificity? We study a natural experiment in the release of a new ad targeting feature by an ad exchange. The platform introduced new targeting into select geographic markets using a regression discontinuity. The experiment affects the specificity advertising assets in the markets (ie, the availability of targeting a city or a zip code). We find evidence that additional specificity reduces the total number of ad impressions delivered by the platform, as advertisers concentrate bidding into fewer, targeted markets. Despite this, we find an overall positive effects on revenue growth in the treated areas. This appears to be driven mainly by increases in clickthrough rates and not through increases in average prices (which actually decreased), and by entry of new advertisers. ∗Authors are listed in alphabetical order.

cological controls on net ecosystem productivity of a seasonally dry annual rassland under current and future climates : Modelling with ecosys

Net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of seasonally dry grasslands in Mediterranean climate zones is determined by the duration and intensity of rainy vs. dry seasons. Precipitation in these zones is expected to decline with climate change during the next century, possibly reducing NEP. Ecosystem models used to study climate change impacts on grasslands in these zones need first to simulate effects of soil wetting and drying on the duration and intensity of net C uptake and emission during rainy and dry seasons under current climate. Continuous eddy covariance (EC) measurements of CO2 and energy exchange provide well constrained tests of such models. In this study, hourly CO2 and energy exchange from the ecosystem model ecosys were tested against EC measurements recorded over an annual grassland at Vaira Ranch, CA in a Mediterranean climate zone during eight years (2001–2008) with variable rainy seasons. Variation in measured CO2 and latent heat fluxes was sufficiently well simulated during each year of the study (0.7 < R2 < 0.9) that most of the variation unexplained by the model could be attributed to uncertainty in the measurements. Interannual variation in NEP from the model was also correlated with that from EC measurements (R2 = 0.75). Annual NEP from both the model and EC were correlated with the duration of net C uptake, but not with the amount of precipitation, during the rainy seasons. Average annual NEP of the grassland modelled from 2001 to 2008 was 29 g C m−2 y−1 with an interannual variation of ±110 g C m−2 y−1 caused by that in the duration of net C uptake. During climate change (SRES A1fi and B1 under HadCM3), changes in modelled NEP were determined by changes in duration and intensity of net C uptake in rainy seasons vs. net C emission in dry seasons. In years with briefer rainy seasons, modelled NEP rose because rates of net C uptake increased with higher temperature and CO2 concentration, while the duration of net C uptake remained limited by that of the rainy season. However in years with longer rainy seasons, modelled NEP declined because the duration of net C uptake was reduced when warming hastened phenological development and caused maturity of annual plants to be reached before the end of the rainy season. As climate change progressed, declines in annual NEP gradually exceeded rises, causing the small C sink modelled under current climate to be almost completely lost after 90 years under SRES −2 −1 and B −2 −1 A1fi (2 ± 103 g C m y )
“No, You're Playing the Race Card”: Testing the Effects of Anti‐Black, Anti‐Latino, and Anti‐Immigrant Appeals in the Post‐Obama Era

Despite a sizable literature on racial priming, scholars have failed to account for the shifting nature of racial appeals. First, theories of racial priming have not yet been widely applied to increasingly common anti-immigrant and anti-Latino political appeals. Second, theories of racial priming have not adequately accounted for both an increasingly racialized political climate and increased tolerance for explicit anti-minority appeals. In two survey experiments fielded both before Trump’s rise and after his presidential victory, we find the Implicit-Explicit (IE) model always fails for anti-black appeals, sometimes fails for anti-immigrant appeals, but consistently holds for anti-Latino appeals. While we find the null effects of implicit versus explicit anti-black and anti-immigrant appeals are partly driven by tolerance for the explicit appeals, we also find evidence that white Americans are adept at recognizing the racial content of appeals featuring widely used, congruent issue-group pairs. Our findings shed light on conditions under which the IE model does and does not hold in the current political era.
A Comparative Study of Moral Values among the Children Belonging to Nuclear and Joint Families of Lucknow District *

Our Moral values are the reflection of our spirituality and our character. They are what we hope to model for our children around us. These values are the guiding principles of life and are contusive to all-round development. Moral Value crisis and increasing cynicism in the society, highlights the need to make readjustments in the curriculum from that point of view. This study was conducted to compare the moral values of children of age group 10-12 years, belonging to nuclear and joint families. In the descriptive survey study, conducted through random sampling consisted of 144 students of Lucknow. The data was collected used ‘Moral Value Scale’ (MVS) by Alpana Sengupta and Arun Kumar Singh. The data was analysed with the help of statistical techniques like mean, S.D. and t-value. The finding shows that there is no significant difference in the mean scores of lying and stealing dimension as a moral value among the children of nuclear and joint families. But there exist a significant difference between the mean score of dishonesty and cheating as a moral value among children of nuclear and joint families.

Phenotypic Divergence for Agro-Morphological Traits among Landrace Genotypes of Rice ( Oryza sativa L . ) from Pakistan

Landrace genotypes of rice collected from various parts of Pakistan were evaluated for seven quantitative and eight qualitative characters. A significant amount of genetic variation was displayed for most of the traits examined. The coefficient of variation was more than 10% for all the characters with the exception of grain length. Compared with the modern cultivars, the landrace genotypes were, on average, later in heading and maturity but had lower values for panicle and grain length. Days to heading was positively correlated with maturity (r = 0.838) and grain length (r = 0.452). Plant height showed positive and significant correlation with panicle length (r = 0.452) indicating the importance of plant height in improving panicle length. Seven accessions with best performance for individual character were identified. To exploit their genetic potential, these genotypes can beneficially be used in the breeding programs.

Factor Structure of a Korean-Language Version of the Patient Satisfaction with Procedural Aspects of Physical Therapy Instrument.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to survey satisfaction with physical therapy. Methods: After the physical therapy consultation, patients filled in a Korean-language version of the 20-tiem version of the MedRisk Instrument developed for measuring Patient Satisfaction with physical therapy. Items are scored on a five-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The last two items are general satisfaction and future return to the clinic. Age and gender information was also collected anonymously. Exploratory factor analysis based on principal components analysis with varimax rotation was performed on the first 18 items of the MedRisk Instrument using SPSS v.20. Results: Four factors emerged with eigenvalues greater than 1, and these cumulatively explained 55% of the total variance in item scores. The factors were labelled: Internal, External Positives, External Negatives, and Clinic Presentation. Correlations of the factor scores with the two global items ranged from 0.29 to 0.70 (both p<0.001). Gender differences were only found on the last factor, with male Korean patients rating Clinic Presentation significantly higher than females (p=0.001). Conclusion: Using factor analysis, the proposed factor structure was revealed using the positive and negative components of the external aspects of the physical therapy and by identifying a clinic presentation which contributes to patients’ satisfaction. The largest proportion of the variance in Patient Satisfaction was related to clinicians’ attention and behaviour. The results of the analysis provide guidelines as to the dimensions of professional physical therapy care and the implications for service delivery and patient experience.
Environment ( CGRA ) Agent ( Mapping algorithm ) Action : PE Interchange Reward :

Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs) have drawn increasing attention due to their flexibility and energy efficiency. Data flow graphs (DFGs) are often mapped onto CGRAs for acceleration. The problem of DFG mapping is challenging due to the diverse structures from DFGs and constrained hardware from CGRAs. Consequently, it is difficult to find a valid and high quality solution simultaneously. Inspired from the great progress in deep reinforcement learning for AI problems, we consider building methods that learn to map DFGs onto spatially-programmed CGRAs directly from experiences. We propose RLMap, a solution that formulates DFG mapping on CGRA as an agent in reinforcement learning (RL), which unifies placement, routing and PE insertion by interchange actions of the agent. Experimental results show that RLMap performs comparably to state-of-the-art heuristics in mapping quality, adapts to different architecture and converges quickly.
Tumor necrosis factor ( TNF ) and lymphotoxin-alpha ( LTA ) gene , allele , and extended HLA haplotype associations with severe dengue virus infection in ethnic Thais

Severe dengue virus (DENV) infections are characterized by a cascade of cytokine production including TNF and LTA. We have analyzed a variety of polymorphisms in the TNF and LTA genes of 435 ethnic Thais with subclinical DENV infection, primary and secondary dengue fever (DF), and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The TNF -238A polymorphism marking the TNF-4, LTA-3 haplotype, was significantly increased in patients with secondary DHF (15.2%) compared to secondary DF (4.1%) (P= 0.0009, Pc=0.022; OR = 4.13, 1.59<OR<11.17). In a subset of patients the LTA-3 haplotype associated with in vivo intra-cellular production of LTA and TNF during the acute viraemic phase of infection. Two extended MHC haplotypes containing TNF-4 and LTA-3, together with HLA-B48, B57 and DPB1*0501, were detected only in patients with secondary DHF. These observations indicate that polymorphism in functionally distinct MHC-encoded proteins contributes to the risk of developing severe secondary DENV infection and warrants further investigation.
Actin-myosin Kinetic Cycle and phosphate release

How myosin interacts with actin to generate force is a subject of considerable controversy. The major debate centers on understanding at what point in force generation the inorganic phosphate is released with respect to the lever arm swing, or powerstroke. Resolving the controversy is essential for understanding how force is produced as well as the mechanisms underlying diseasecausing mutations in myosin. Recent structural insights on the powerstroke have come from a high-resolution structure of myosin in a previously unseen state and from an electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) 3D reconstruction of the actin-myosin-MgADP complex. We argue that seemingly contradictory data from time-resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) studies can be reconciled and we put forward a model for myosin force generation on actin.
