3D Spatial Analysis Method with First-Person Viewpoint by Deep Convolutional Neural Network with Omnidirectional RGB and Depth Images

The fields of architecture and urban planning widely apply spatial analysis based on images. However, many features can influence the spatial conditions, not all of which can be explicitly defined. In this research, we propose a new deep learning framework for extracting spatial features without explicitly specifying them and use these features for spatial analysis and prediction. As a first step, we establish a deep convolution neural network (DCNN) learning problem with omnidirectional images that include depth images as well as ordinary RGB images. We then use these images as explanatory variables in a game engine to predict a subjects' preference regarding a virtual urban space. DCNNs learn the relationship between the evaluation result and the omnidirectional camera images and we confirm the prediction accuracy of the verification data.
Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Gallbladder : Clinical Features , Diagnosis and Treatment

Aim and Background: The unique heterogeneous tumor originating from the neuroendocrine cells and the peptide-capable neurons is defined as the Gallbladder Neuroendocrine Neoplasm (GBNEN). GB-NEN accounts for only 0.5% of all Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) and 2.1% of all gallbladder tumors. The aim of this study is to present an up-to-date review of clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors of the gallbladder. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using leading medical journal citation databases (including PubMed, Wiley Online Library and Springer Link Science) in order to identify all pertinent studies published. Results: At present, the pathogenesis of GB-NEN is not clear, and furthermore, the typical clinical manifestations are lacking specificity, particularly as seen in the laboratory examinations. Additionally, the imaging examination provides difficulty in distinguishing GB-NEN from other gallbladder diseases. Even though treatment, like chemo radiotherapy helps to prolong progressionfree survival, surgery is the best option. Since the disease is rarely seen in clinical practice, only a few studies are available for review. Conclusion: GB-NEN is a relatively rare gallbladder lesion and is often reported as a case study. Therefore, early detection, correct diagnosis and reasonable treatment of such tumors will aid in prolonging the quality of life of patients.
Rosuvastatin reduces myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting miR-155

Background: Rosuvastatin has been reported to protect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in cardiovascular diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are widely involved in progression of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the underlying mechanism of rosuvastatin and miRNAs in the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury has not been fully explored. Methods: The model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury was established using cardiomyocytes by serum and oxygen deficiency and recovery. The expression of miR-155 was calculated by qRT-PCR. Cell survival and apoptosis were observed by 3-(4, 5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2Htetrazolium bromide assay or flow cytometry. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured by different assay kits. Results: Cell survival rate and SOD level were inhibited, while apoptosis and the levels of LDH, CK and MAD were enhanced in cardiomyocytes under ischemiareperfusion compared with those in control group. However, these effects were attenuated by introduction of rosuvastatin. In addition, we found that miR-155 expression was up-regulated in ischemia-reperfusion-treated cardiomyocytes and knockdown of miR-155 alleviated ischemia-reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, miR-155 level was inhibited by different concentrations of rosuvastatin in ischemia-reperfusion-treated cardiomyocytes. Conclusion: Rosuvastatin reduced ischemia-reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes by inhibiting miR-155 expression, providing a new point for the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury treatment.
Anatomical and histological study of lings of Turkey ( Meleagris gallopava )

Anatomical and histological study description of the lungs in the domestic turkey (Meleagris gallopava) (at one year of age), is the aim of this study. Ten apparently healthy birds employed in this study (five specimens for anatomical study and five specimens for histological study). The shape, position and components of lungs were recorded.Lungs were (elongated triangular-shaped), extend from the first to the sixth vertebral ribs , contain three surfaces (costal, vertebral, and septal surface) and medial and lateral borders, the latter contain four deep grooves caused by embedded the second to the fifth vertebral ribs which lead to divided the lung to five lobes. The mean length of right and left lungs were (6.37 ± 0.24 cm), (6.72 ± 0.17 cm) respectively, while the mean width of right and left lungs were (3.35 ± 0.4 cm), (3.68 ± 0.3 cm) respectively, and the mean thickness of right and left lung were (0.96 ± 0.06 cm), (1.025 ± 0.092 cm) respectively.Histological study proved that the lung contain secondary bronchi and lung lobules which formed from tertiary bronchi (parabronchi) separated by the interparabronchial septa. Parabronchi branched to atria, infundibula, and air capillaries, all these components lined by simple squamous epithelium. Smooth muscle fibers constituted the major part of the parabronchial walls which occur on the atrial openings edges. Air capillaries intertwined among numerous blood capillaries formed the blood-gas barrier; the mean thickness of this barrier was (0.5 ± 0.08 μm).

Conflict management approaches, customer expectation evaluation, and customer satisfaction : an empirical investigation

This study investigates the potential impacts of different conflict management approaches and expectation evaluation on customer satisfaction. Using three approaches of conflict management theory and three possibilities for customers’ expectation evaluation, nine scenarios have been developed. The results of this experiment-based study suggest that the interaction of customer expectation evaluations and conflict management approaches do not have a significant effect on customer satisfaction. However, the study also suggests that both the style of conflict management and expectation evaluation have a significant, direct impact on customer satisfaction.
Attractiveness , competence or likability ? Appearance effects in the 2013 German election

We test the effects of physical appearance on electoral outcomes for the 2013 German national elections. We find that a candidate’s perceived attractiveness and competence vis-ávis his or her closest contestant significantly and substantially increases chances of winning a direct mandate. Our study advances existing research in four ways: First, we capture relative differences in appearances, which resembles real-world situations more closely than absolute measures. Second, we proceed beyond a one-dimensional assessment of appearance by simultaneously analyzing attractiveness, competence, and likability, including interactions. Third, the central role of parties in the German mixed electoral system makes an especially tough test for appearance based effects. Fourth, we use rater response latency to weight our measurement with an assessment of ambivalence.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MECHANICAL PARAMETERS IN THE TAKE-OFF OF A VAULT AND THE DROP JUMP ABILITY

In the vault in gymnastics, the take-off motion is important to the success of the vault and to perform more difficult vaults. Vaulting ability has been studied by motion analysis, but this method is not effective for easy evaluation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the mechanical parameters in the take-off of a vault and the drop jump ability, by focusing on the rebound drop jump index (RDJ index) calculated from the two variables of contact time and flight time. Male gymnasts performed the Kasamatsu vault, and their vaulting motion was captured using the 3-dimensional optical motion capture system MAC3D. In addition, they performed a drop jump from a height of 0.4 m without arm swing under two conditions (vault board and non-spring floor), and the RDJ index was calculated. As a result of calculating the regression equation for estimating the vertical impulse of the Kasamatsu vault by using the RDJ index of the drop jump, a significant regression equation was obtained in the RDJ index of the drop jump on the vault board (y = 0.290x + 5.368, p < 0.05). This result suggests the possibility that the vertical impulse of the take-off on the vault board can be evaluated by measurement under conditions whose characteristics are similar to those of actual vaulting, such as a drop jump on a vault board, in high-level gymnasts.
Self-Concept and Social Adjustment among College Going Reality Show

Reality shows are very popular in the present decade. Reality shows vary from channel to channel; from song to cookery, and comedy to dance. Reality shows are strong reflection of the dreams, aspirations, struggle and emotions of the common man especially the youngsters. Reality shows are becoming increasingly popular among the college students which affecting their attitude and mental health. The present study focused on exploring whether there exists any relationship between self-concept and social adjustment of reality show participants; and if there is, to what extent. Stratified Random Sampling was adopted for selecting 150 contestants who are participating in different reality shows in different channels. The variables were measured using self-concept inventory and social adjustment inventory. The result indicate that there exists a significant positive relationship between the self-concept and social adjustment of reality show participants.
About ? Extreme Summarization with Topic-Aware Convolutional Neural Networks

We introduce extreme summarization, a new single-document summarization task which aims at creating a short, one-sentence news summary answering the question “What is the article about? ”. We argue that extreme summarization, by nature, is not amenable to extractive strategies and requires an abstractive modeling approach. In the hope of driving research on this task further: (a) we collect a real-world, large scale dataset by harvesting online articles from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC); and (b) propose a novel abstractive model which is conditioned on the article’s topics and based entirely on convolutional neural networks. We demonstrate experimentally that this architecture captures long-range dependencies in a document and recognizes pertinent content, outperforming an oracle extractive system and state-of-the-art abstractive approaches when evaluated automatically and by humans on the extreme summarization dataset.
Opportunities and challenges for environmental MRIO modelling : Illustrations with the GTAP database

The application of multi-regional input-output (MRIO) modelling to environmental flows is a useful methodology to evaluate global linkages between consumption and production systems. There are many opportunities for environmental MRIO studies ranging across scales from analyzing the environmental impacts of individual products, household consumption, and international climate policy. Initially I discuss several applications of MRIO models, particularly in relation to global environmental problems and pollution embodied in trade. I discuss how many of the widely used IO techniques can be implemented for global systems. Despite the promise of environmental MRIO studies, there are still several challenges. An initial problem is consistent and transparent data with enough detail for policy relevant investigations. I discuss many of the challenges for MRIO modelling encountered when implementing the GTAP database to an MRIO model (covering 57 sectors in 87 world regions). The discussion is focussed on highlighting important issues and research required for future database construction.
Robots That Successfully Elicit Help from Humans

Most attention in the development of robots has been focused on the robots’ hardware and software to improve functionality. However, the interaction between humans and robots can be key to enhancing robots’ performance. Autonomous mobile robots can more often complete their tasks if they are enabled to effectively solicit help from humans when robots face limitations. Hence, in this paper, we examine three different manners of addressing humans: friendly, polite, and indirect. These approaches combine different interaction modalities, like speech and gestures. We conducted experiments where the NAO robot addresses bystanders in one of the aforementioned three manners to get help with opening a public door. The aim of the experiment was to identify the best ways for robots to successfully draw the attention, interact and request help from humans. We investigated if passers-by would respond differently to each manner. Each passer-by was then asked to fill a questionnaire to better understand and classify his actions. In addition, we measure the effects of bystanders’ source of control assumptions and the situational awareness desire from the response of the bystanders, with respect to the robot request.
Participation factor in modal analysis of power systems stability

This paper provides a brief overview on existing approaches for defining participation factor in modal analysis which characterizes the interaction between modes and state variables of power system. We calculated participation factors using different methods and compared the results obtained with the expressions derived from mode evolution. For cases of complex eigenvalues of linear differential equations characteristic matrix it was discovered incorrect existing approaches for defining participation factor of state variable in mode. Modern software applications designed to analyze power system stability widely deploy the approaches discussed that provide incorrect results of modal analysis and pose risks to the operation of real power systems. Therefore the problem of calculating the participation factor remains as important as ever.
Chapter 4 Multipotent Stromal Cells in a Tumor Microenvironment

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells [also referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)] as was previously described, are a heterogeneous subset of stromal cells with regenerative potential. Their present tropism for inflamed sites including tumors lesion may be adverse or therapeutic effects arising from MSC administration; in this context, their potential for producing trophic and immunomodulatory factors raises the question as to whether MSCs promote or interact with a tumor microenvironment. Previous studies show a paradoxical effect regarding MSCs, which seems to depend on isolation and expansion, cells source, dose and both route and timing of administration. The occurrence of neoplastic transformation in ex vivo expanded MSCs after a long-term culture has been reported, however, this event has been subsequently described as uncommon, with an estimated frequency of <10−9. Furthermore, neither ectopic tissue formation nor MSC-originating tumors have ever been reported so far in hundreds of patients treated with MSC therapy. The biosafety of these cells, both in precancerous and cancerous environments, has been little investigated to date. We found in an animal model of oral cancer that locally or systemically administered allogeneic MSCs do not aggravate the progression of precancerous lesions. Moreover, they preclude cancer progression and tumor growth, particularly at papilloma stage.
Knockdown resistance mutations contributing to pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti population, Saudi Arabia.

Background Dengue is endemic in Saudi Arabia especially in Jeddah, Makkah, Asir, and Jazan areas where pyrethroids are widely used to control the vector, Aedes aegypti. Resistance of Ae. aegypti to pyrethroid insecticides has been reported from most of these areas. Aims The present study was carried out in Jazan region in south-west Saudi Arabia to explore the resistance status of Ae. aegypti to pyrethroids and the consequent underlying mechanisms. Methods Three pyrethroids (permethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, and cyfluthrin) were used to investigate the resistance status of Ae. aegypti adults following World Health Organization (WHO) standard methods: PCR and sequencing techniques were used to detect the S989P, V1016G and F1534C kdr mutations. Results Ae. aegypti populations were susceptible to cyfluthrin and having a possibility of resistance to permethrin while resistant to lambda-cyhalothrin. Three potential kdr mutations were detected for the first time in Ae. aegypti population, F1534C, V106G, and S989P. It was found that F1534C often co-exists with V1016G and this haplotype was strongly associated with permethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin resistance. On the other hand, S989P mutation was detected as RR in 18.8% with a low-frequency rate (R) of 18.8%, and in 55.5% as R with 58.3% frequency rate in permethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin- resistant female mosquitoes, respectively. Conclusions Early detection of resistance alleles should be considered the essential tool for the successful implementation of insecticide resistance management strategies by providing early warning of insect resistance.
THE DARK TRIAD AND NEGATIVE CREATIVITY

Negative creativity is shaping into a legitimate sub-construct of creativity. To meet the goal of studying it in conjunction with the Dark Triad, participants (N = 129, 88 Indians, 88 women, Mage = 25.09 years, SD = 10.03) completed two creativity measures and three personality scales. The Alternate Uses Test (AUT) and a self-report Creativity measure were used to assess the two valences of creativity—positive and negative. The relationship between negative creativity and negative personality traits, namely, the Dark Triad, was investigated to study the criterion validity of the creativity measures. While the Dark Triad predicted endorsement of negative creativity on the Creativity measure, there was no discernable relationship with the generation of negative-creative responses on the AUT. Further, the AUT led to the generation of less than two percent of negative-creative responses. Suggestions for improving the AUT as a tool to measure negative creativity are discussed.

Percutaneous External Fixation versus open methods In Management Of Fractures Percutaneous External Fixation versus open methods In Management Of Fractures

External fixation is one of available methods used to hold reduced Fractures and prevent displacement during the period of healing. External fixation can be used not only for stabilization of acute open fractures and management of the soft tissues, but also in the delayed management of fracture with bone loss. Percutaneous external fixation was performed for closed and open fractures due to different insults ,especially for those patients with multiple injuries, with high anesthetic risk for whom short, less invasive and less extensive technique is required. The aim of this study is to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of such modality of treatment in fractures of long bones and to compare the results of (group A)for whom percutaneous external fixation was done and (group B)for whom open reduction &internal or external fixation were performed. A comparative study was conducted over 59 month (June1999-November2003) on 70 patients of both genders, and of different ages, with 77 fractures of ,femur (36), tibia (25), humerus (16),or combination of any two of them . Infection(68%), malunion (36%),joint stiffness(36%)in addition to limb shortening (18%),were common in group (A),while delayed union(20%),nonunion (20%)and peripheral nerve injury (9%)were common in group(B). Usage of percutaneous procedure in application of external fixator in poly traumatized patient is an encouraging and gratifying method, with ease of application ,and showed good amount of rigidity during the course of treatment and in decreasing the morbidity regarding the blood loss and major surgical exposure of the fracture site.
Comparing the Performance of an Immersive Virtual Reality and Traditional Desktop Cultural Game

The recent popularization and affordability of Head Mounted Display (HMD) Virtual Reality (VR) systems such as the Oculus Rift has accelerated the expansion of the application of these devices beyond entertainment. One of the targeted areas of expansion is in social interaction serious games where it has been often hypothesized that the immersion of HMD VR would increase the learning effectiveness of these systems. Despite this growth, few studies in the literature examine the effectiveness of these types of games in HMD VR as compared to more traditional desktop systems. This study evaluates the performance difference between a traditional desktop version and an HMD VR version of a cultural serious game designed to teach U.S. Army soldiers how to communicate competently with Chinese soldiers in a joint humanitarian mission. The study found no performance difference between participants who played the desktop or the HMD VR version of the game. The study did find a strong positive interaction correlation between gender and participants who played the HMD VR version of the game. These findings motivate further research into why this correlation exists and if, through game design, can also be instilled in female participants.
