TianGong-ST: A New Dataset with Large-scale Refined Real-world Web Search Sessions

Web search session data is precious for a wide range of Information Retrieval (IR) tasks, such as session search, query suggestion, click through rate (CTR) prediction and so on. Numerous studies have shown the great potential of considering context information for search system optimization. The well-known TREC Session Tracks have enhanced the development in this domain to a great extent. However, they are mainly collected via user studies or crowdsourcing experiments and normally contain only tens to thousands sessions, which are deficient for the investigation with more sophisticated models. To tackle this obstacle, we present a new dataset that contains 147,155 refined web search sessions with both click-based and human-annotated relevance labels. The sessions are sampled from a huge search log thus can reflect real search scenarios. The proposed dataset can support a wide range of session-level or task-based IR studies. As an example, we test several interactive search models with both the PSCM and human relevance labels provided by this dataset and report the performance as a reference for future studies of session search.
Effects of Intensive Mobile Happiness Reporting in Daily Life

Does intensive focus on happiness change the naturalistic experience of happiness over time? In a 2-week text-messaging experiment, young adult participants (n = 162) reported their current happiness 1, 3, or 6 times daily. Examination of temporal changes in momentary happiness over time showed no group differences, suggesting little evidence for reactivity overall. However, the effects were moderated by current depressive symptoms and neuroticism and to a lesser extent by self-esteem (trend only) and not by trait happiness. Individuals higher in depressive symptoms or neuroticism showed decreased momentary happiness over time with more frequent reporting, whereas individuals lower in depressive symptoms or neuroticism showed the opposite pattern with increased momentary happiness over time with more frequent reporting. Effects for self-esteem were similar but did not reach statistical significance. Findings suggest that intensive happiness reporting through mobile technology may be aversive or beneficial depending upon the negative emotional disposition of individuals.
Cosmic Reionization of Hydrogen and Helium and the Supermassive Black Holes in Very Distant Universe

Here, applying the Scale-Symmetric Theory (SST), we answered following question: What is the origin of the cosmic reionization? Presented here scenario differs radically from that described within the mainstream cosmology. Most important are masses of massive galaxies/quasars and the decays of large cosmic structures due to the stepwise decays of the earliest photons (such decays of photons mimic an acceleration of expansion of the Universe). Highest rate of reionization of hydrogen should be for redshift z(H,start) = 11.18 whereas complete reionization should occur at z(H,end) = 7.10. For reionization of helium we obtain respectively z(He,start) = 3.63 and z(He,end) = 2.70. Theoretical results are consistent with observational data. It leads to conclusion that the General Theory of Relativity (GR) correctly describes the regions of reionization. We showed that number and energy of created photons were sufficient to ionize the intergalactic medium. We answered as well the second very important question: Why there appeared the supermassive black holes so quickly? We showed here also that there was an acceleration of evolution of clusters of galaxies (not an acceleration of expansion of spacetime! ) about 13.8 down to 13 Gyr and 6.5 down to 5 Gyr ago.
An Advective-Reflective Conceptual Model for the Oscillatory Nature of the ENSO

Recent findings about zonal displacements of the Pacific warm pool required a notable modification of the delayed action oscillator theory, the current leading theory for the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Simulations with a linearized coupled ocean-atmosphere model resulted in 3- to 6-year ENSO-like oscillations, with many of the variable model parameters found to be very close to their observed values. This simple model suggests that ocean processes that are ignored or underestimated in the delayed action oscillator theory, such as zonal current convergence, zonal advection of sea surface temperature, and equatorial wave reflection from the eastern ocean boundary, are fundamental to the development of the ENSO, in particular to its manifestations in the central equatorial Pacific.
Overcoming the Shadow of Expertise: How Humility and Learning Goal Orientation Help Knowledge Leaders Become More Flexible

Although experts are valuable assets to organizations, they suffer from the curse of knowledge and cognitive entrenchment, which prevents them from being able to adapt to changing situational demands. In this study, I propose that experts’ performance goal orientation resulting from pressures to perform contributes to their flexibility, but this mechanism can be moderated by learning goal orientation and humility. Data from a small sample of healthcare professionals suggested that performance goal orientation partially explained the mechanism of why experts may be inflexible. Humility, both as self-report and other-report measures, was found to be the most consistent moderator of this indirect effect. Experts with low levels of humility suffered from the negative effects of performance goal orientation, leading them to be less flexible compared to their counterparts with higher levels of humility. Experts who reported high levels of humility, on the other hand, were perceived to be more flexible as their expertise increased. Meanwhile, learning goal orientation partially moderated the indirect effect of expertise on flexibility through performance goal orientation. These findings lead to new conversations on how to get experts unstuck and highlight the importance of developing humility as both a personal virtue and a strategic advantage for organizations.
Bioscaffold-Induced Brain Tissue Regeneration

Brain tissue lost after a stroke is not regenerated, although a repair response associated with neurogenesis does occur. A failure to regenerate functional brain tissue is not caused by the lack of available neural cells, but rather the absence of structural support to permit a repopulation of the lesion cavity. Inductive bioscaffolds can provide this support and promote the invasion of host cells into the tissue void. The putative mechanisms of bioscaffold degradation and its pivotal role to permit invasion of neural cells are reviewed and discussed in comparison to peripheral wound healing. Key differences between regenerating and non-regenerating tissues are contrasted in an evolutionary context, with a special focus on the neurogenic response as a conditio sine qua non for brain regeneration. The pivotal role of the immune system in biodegradation and the formation of a neovasculature are contextualized with regeneration of peripheral soft tissues. The application of rehabilitation to integrate newly forming brain tissue is suggested as necessary to develop functional tissue that can alleviate behavioral impairments. Pertinent aspects of brain tissue development are considered to provide guidance to produce a metabolically and functionally integrated de novo tissue. Although little is currently known about mechanisms involved in brain tissue regeneration, this review outlines the various components and their interplay to provide a framework for ongoing and future studies. It is envisaged that a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in brain tissue regeneration will improve the design of biomaterials and the methods used for implantation, as well as rehabilitation strategies that support the restoration of behavioral functions.
Title The Three-Phase Power Router and Its Operation with MatrixConverter toward Smart-Grid Applications

A power router has been recently developed for both AC and DC applications that has the potential for smart-grid applications. This study focuses on three-phase power switching through the development of an experimental setup which consists of a three-phase direct AC/AC matrix converter with a power router attached to its output. Various experimental switching scenarios with the loads connected to different input sources were investigated. The crescent introduction of decentralized power generators throughout the power-grid obligates us to take measurements for a better distribution and management of the power. Power routers and matrix converters have great potential to succeed this goal with the help of power electronics devices. In this paper, a novel experimental three-phase power switching was achieved and the advantages of this operation are presented, such as on-demand and constant power supply at the desired loads.
Curcumin effect on Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in Mus musculus

Curcumin, a curcuminoid compound of turmeric has been demonstrated to have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Bleomycin (BLM) is an anti-cancer drug induced pulmonary fibrosis in human and animals. This study was aimed to investigate biological effects of curcumin on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice (Mus musculus) through pathomorphological assessment. In this study, 16 mice ddy strain were divided into four groups, namely (i) control, mice were subcutaneously (SC) injected with 100 µl sterilized aquadest in dorsal skin, (ii) BLM group, injected SC with 100 µl of 1 mg/ml BLM in dorsal skin, (iii) Curcumin (CMN) group, mice were intraperitoneally (IP) injected with 100 mg/kg body weight (BW) curcumin dissolved in 0,5% carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and injected with 100 µl sterilized aquadest SC, (iv) BLM+CMN group, injected SC with 100 µl of BLM 1 mg/ml and injected IP with 100 mg/kg BW CMN in 0,5% CMC. All treatments were performed daily for four weeks period. The lung samples were collected and fixed in buffered neutral formalin (BNF) 10%. Histopathological evaluation was performed with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson’s trichrome (MT) stains. The results showed that BLM treatment significantly increased fibrosis area and alveolar wall area fraction as compared to control. OIn the other hand, CMN treatment significantly reduced fibrosis area and alveolar wall area fraction in mice treated with BLM. In conclusion, our study showed that CMN treatment may inhibit lung fibrogenesis in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
Correlation Analysis Between the Health System and Human Development Level Within the European Union

This study aims to test the correlation between the effects, effort and efficiency of health expenditure in the European Union and Human Development Index (HDI). Although we observe a correlation between HDI, effects and effort in the health system, however, HDI is not correlated with the health system efficiency calculated as the ratio between effect and effort. This aspect shows that the elasticity of the effects of health system reported on the financial allocation (effort of the health system which is expressed as a percentage of GDP) decreases, as the increase of financial allocation in GDP. Index Terms—correlation, effects, effort, health expenditure, Human Development Index. I. INTRODUCTION Public health is an area of great interest at the EU level, but also at a global level, and that's why we tried to quantify the efficiency of health expenditures among the EU Member States and now it will be considered the intensity of correlation with the HDI. We chose a correlation with the HDI because it is a representative index of the analyzed domain; it measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living (7); logically there should be a close correlation between HD index values and the efficiency of health expenditure. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices measuring achievements in each dimension. Human Development Index has three dimensions and four indicators, as it can be seen in the table below. The education component of the HDI is measured by mean of years of schooling for adults aged 25 years and expected years of schooling for children of school going age. The health dimension of the index is measured by life expectancy at birth. The decent standard of living component is measured by GNI per capita (PPP US$)
Preferred Homework Style and Homework Environment in High- Versus Low-achieving Chinese Students

The study compared preferred homework styles of Chinese students-who were characterized by (a) high vs low self-perceived homework achievement and attitude; (b) high vs low teacher-rated homework completion and quality; and (c) high vs low academic achievement in mathematics-and examined gender differences of homework styles in these students. The participants were 329 5th graders (172 boys and 157 girls) and 244 7th graders (130 boys and 114 girls). More distinguishing homework style elements were found with the self-perceived homework achievement and attitude levels than in the teacher-rated achievement levels. Neither gender differences nor gender-achievement interaction effects were indicated. As expected, the motivational elements distinguished the high/low levels of all types of achievement and attitude towards homework. While high teacher-rated achievement was more closely associated with high scores of the teacher-motivated element, the self-perception of work accomplishment at home was more positive in those students who were highly motivated by parents as well as teachers. A number of environmental and organisational elements also distinguished the high from low achievers. The importance of the teacher and parent role in student achievement was discussed.
The Bisphosphonates versus Denosumab Efficiency in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Treatment

Introduction. Osteoporosis is a frequently ignored disease, that has the potential to develop an adverse outcome, leading to complications that lower patients’ quality of life. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a well-studied subject, being a disease with an increasing prevalence. However, there is a large number of drugs to choose from for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates are the most used therapeutic choice but, with an almost 10-year clinical experience, RANKL inhibitor Denosumab is becoming more frequently used in practice, with great results. The main purpose of this review is to evaluate the efficacy of bisphosphonates compared with that of Denosumab by analyzing different parameters. Matherials and methods. We included randomized studies that directly compared bisphosphonates to Denosumab after 1 year of treatment, which included data regarding the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTM) measured at baseline and after 12 months. Results. Seven randomized studies were included in this review, combining a total of 4535 patients. In all 7 studies the changes in lumbar spine bone mineral density were statistically significant in favor of Denosumab. Denosumab also produced a decrease in bone turnover markers as early as 1 month from the beginning of the treatment. After 12 months of treatment the reduction percentage of BTM were similar between the two groups. The rate of adverse effects’ occurrence is similar between the two groups. Conclusion. Denosumab treated patients present an increase in bone mineral density after 12 months of treatment when compared to bisphosphonates. Both therapies have a similar reduction of bone turnover markers. The rate of adverse effects’ occurrence during the 12 months of monitoring were also similar between the two drugs.
Sound production in Sciaenidae spp.: the relationship between acoustic activity and spawning in an aquaculture perspective

During this study, sound production of three Sciaenidae species (Argyrosomus regius, Umbrina cirrosa and Sciaenops ocellatus) was investigated before (t0 and t1) and during spawning season (t2) in rearing facilities. The study showed a clear increase in calling activity during the spawning season and changes in the acoustic parameters in all three species. A shift in the diel pattern of sound production before and during reproduction was observed in all three species. The calling activity out of reproductive season was mainly emitted during daytime hours whereas calls emitted during the reproduction season occurred mainly during nighttime hours. Fine acoustic parameters like number of pulses and pulse period seemed indicative of spawning as more quickly repeated pulses were found during the reproductive season. This implies that the sonic muscles contract faster during reproduction which was supported by the increase in sarcoplasmic reticulum on analyzed cross-sections.
Feeding of the Sparid Fish Sarpa salpa in a Seagrass Ecosystem: Diet and Carbon Flux

In Revellata Bay (Gulf of Calvi, Corsica, France), the sparid fish Surpa salpa L. is the main macro-consumer of Posidonia oceanica (L.) DELILE leaf. Stomach contents were analysed and "C/"C isotopic ratios were measured in fish muscle and potential food sources (algae, P. oceanica leaf and its epiphytes) to determine their relative contribution to the fish diet. S. salpa has an age-related mixed diet: juveniles are plankton feeders, young, sub-adults and adults are herbivorous, and, the older the individuals. the higher the relative contribution of P. oceanica to the diet. Our results and former studies of carbon stocks and fluxes in the P. oceanica bed of Revellata Bay have enabled an estimation of the general impact of S. salpu grazing on infralittoral communities: the studied species consumes 24 g C. m -' . a ~ I from P. oceanica leaf, 4.8 from epiphytes and 13 from epilithic algae. The fish net production and biomass turnover in that zone have beenestimated to be 1.2 gC . m-2. a-' and 1.5 a-I, respectively.
Role of an Individual Grain Boundary in Thermal Transport across Single Crystalline CVD Graphene

Graphene is a one atom thick sheet of carbon, joined together in a honeycomb structure. It is being considered as a way to overcome some of technological limitations of silicon in integrated circuit industry owing to its extraordinary electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. The most promising method to fabricate graphene in a large scale is through Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). However, CVD graphene is only available in polycrystalline form. In polycrystalline graphene, the single crystalline regions are joined together making grain boundaries which govern the physical properties of CVD graphene. It has been shown that the electrical properties of graphene are highly affected by the temperature. Therefore, it is important to understand physical phenomenon behind the thermal transport across polycrystalline graphene. In this respect, the role of grain boundaries on the thermal transport of graphene must be extensively explored. In this work, large area single crystalline graphene flakes with detectable grain boundaries are grown on copper substrate using atmospheric pressure CVD. An electrical thermometry platform is then design in order to simultaneously measure the thermal conductivity of a single crystalline graphene flake as well as an individual grain boundary formed between two graphene flakes. It was shown that an individual grain boundary acts as an effective 1.24 μm extension in length of the single crystalline graphene at room temperature which results in an average of 26% overall reduction of thermal conductivity. Also, the thermal conductivity of an isolated grain boundary is found to be around 3 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the graphene on Silicon Nitride substrate.
Spatial dimension landscape metrics of Atlantic Forest remnants in Paraná State, Brazil

Forest fragmentation may negatively impact fauna and flora. An important tool for the development and implementation of research on these effects is the use of a geographic information system (GIS). This paper aims to perform an integrated analysis of the landscape fragments that compose the Alonzo River watershed, Parana State, by using remote sensing tools and landscape ecology metrics. The analyzed landscape metrics were Patton’s index, total area of the patches, edge length, edge density, forest fragment density, and the core area of the patches. The results showed 888 forest patches with area values ranging from 0.15 ha to 2509.82 ha, and it represents 12.5% of the total forest land cover of the studied basin; this means that 85.3% of the forest patches are less than 50 ha and that 75% of those fragments have a Patton’s index value of less than 3.9. The fragments that compose the studied area may be subject to edge effects and biodiversity loss as long as they present reduced areas and small core areas. Thus, the use of GIS and landscape ecology metrics is a quick and efficient way to evaluate the effect of fragmentation over large areas.
Association Between Industrial Wind Turbine Noise and Sleep Quality in a Comparison Sample of Rural Ontarians

Background: Wind turbines (WTs) are an emerging source of renewable energy in Ontario. One concern is that aerodynamic and mechanical noise produced by the WTs results in sleep disturbance in residents living near such facilities. However, evidence to date is primarily self-reported, with no objectivemeasures of the impact on sleep quality currently in the literature. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if the presence of a grid connected WT is a risk factor for poor sleep quality and if wind turbine noise is associated with sleep parameters. The hypothesis was that individuals residing within fifteen hundred meters of aWT experience poorer sleep, compared to those who do not reside near a WT. Methods: A daily sleep diary and actigraphy-derived measures of sleep quality were obtained from twelve participants from a WT community in rural Ontario and ten participants from a comparison community with no wind power installations. Sound level meters were used to assess the equivalent (LAeq) and maximum (LAmax) sound pressure levels within the bedroom. A variety of statistical analysis were performed to determine co-variation between variables, noise thresholds for sleep disturbance, and risk for poor sleep quality. Results: A total of 110 person-nights and 12,971 sleep epochs were observed. Participants in the exposed group lived at a mean distance of 795 m from the closest WT (range 474m–1085m). Although numerous actigraphy sleep parameters were poorer in the exposed group, including lower average sleep efficiency (89% vs. 92%), longer sleep onset latency (6 min vs. 4 min), and longer wake after sleep onset (42 min vs. 29 min), the differences were not statistically significant. When the data was dichotomized by quality of sleep, the prevalence of poor sleep in the exposed group was greater than in the
Soluble CD137 Ameliorates Acute Type 1 Diabetes by Inducing T Cell Anergy

We show here that soluble CD137 (sCD137), the alternately spliced gene product of Tnfsfr9, effectively treats acute type 1 diabetes (T1D) in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. sCD137 significantly delayed development of end-stage disease, preserved insulin+ islet beta cells, and prevented progression to end-stage T1D in some mice. We demonstrate that sCD137 induces CD4+ T cell anergy, suppressing antigen-specific T cell proliferation and IL-2/IFN-γ secretion. Exogenous IL-2 reversed the sCD137 anergy effect. sCD137 greatly reduces inflammatory cytokine production by CD8 effector memory T cells, critical mediators of beta cell damage. We demonstrate that human T1D patients have decreased serum sCD137 compared to age-matched controls (as do NOD mice compared to NOD congenic mice expressing a protective Tnfsfr9 allele), that human sCD137 is secreted by regulatory T cells (Tregs; as in mice), and that human sCD137 induces T cell suppression in human T cells. These findings provide a rationale for further investigation of sCD137 as a treatment for T1D and other T cell–mediated autoimmune diseases.
