A Data Management Technique of Hybrid Memory Systems for Energy Aware Flight Control Computing

Future flight control devices will be designed with more application-specific features than traditional designs. For an instance, devices mounted on shoes can provide various information by analyzing life pattern, and wrist watch devices are becoming not only information providing but also health care. These various drone/mobile devices are loaded with an optimum memory system for their ability to perform such computations. Battery capacity is determined by required capacity of memory system, which consumes a large portion of power. The size of a memory system and battery affects such device size, and then it directly links to success of the product in its market. Therefore, the optimization process mainly focuses on power consumption and performance at the design step. The size of a memory system is usually occupied upto 60% on a chip space and its power consumption is proportional to the size. Especially, as the microfabrication process deepens, leakage current increases exponentially in system on a chip. This is called the power wall instead of the traditional memory wall. We are focused on a hybrid memory system using nonvolatile and scratchpad memory components to solve the power wall problem. Non-volatile memories have a small size (high density) and a relatively low power consumption, as well as consuming nearly zero leakage in a chip. Therefore, it is considered as a substitute for the traditional memory subsystem to the next generation high performance devices. In this paper, we propose a data management technique that can efficiently utilize the hybrid memory consisting of non-volatile memory and the scratch pad memory components. The proposed scheme overcomes the nonvolatile memory write endurance constraint and relatively slow write speed by using scratch pads and takes full advantage of nonvolatile low power and performance advantages. Using this study, it is possible to construct a memory subsystem optimized for a low power perspective for future high performance devices. Therefore, the proposed technique improves performance and energy consumption of the hybrid memory architecture.
An Examination of Treatment Fidelity in an Intensive Family Preservation Program

Most models of intensive family preservation services are based on providing flexible services to reduce risk and keep families together. This study examined 40 cases served by a public agency Family Preservation Unit in 1992-1993, in order to assess the provision of hard, soft and enabling services in the program and whether their provision matched the program model. The relationships of these services to program outcomes, in terms of child removal, new reports of abuse or neglect, and family gains in resources and strengths, are also assessed.

Evaluation of tomato against bacterial wilt ( Ralstonia solanacearum ) in Jharkhand

The experiment was conducted with eight tomato parental lines and 28F1 crosses developed at the station were tested in bacterial sick plot during 2000-01 to 2002-03. Finally five most promising parental lines and four F1 crosses were tested during rainy monsoon during 2005-06 to evaluate the yield and resistance. The mean of four years (2000-01 to 2002-03 & 2005-06) data revealed that three parental lines viz; CHDT-4 (EC 339074 released as Swarna Lalima), CH180 (BT-17) and CHDT-5 (EC-369060-A released as Swarna Naveen) and three F 1 crosses CHDT-4 x CHDT-1 ,CHDT-1 x CH-180 and CH -195 x CH-180 resulted resistant reaction to bacterial wilt sick plot. The maximum yield was harvested in parental line CHDT-4 (EC 339074) followed by CH180 (BT-17). Among the F 1 crosses, the crosses, CHDT4 x CHDT1 (EC-339074 x EC-386021 recently released as Swarna Sampada) , CHDT1 x CH -180 (EC -386021 x BT-17) and CH-195 x CH -180 (Sonali x BT-17) showed resistant reaction. The F1 cross viz; EC-339074 x EC386021 (Swarna Sampada) was found superior than others with respect to resistant and yield in bacterial sick plot.
A Gross Morphometric Study of Olfactory Brain Components in the Rufous Sengi ( Elephantulus rufescens )

The gross morphometric features of mammalian olfactory system components show variations that may be attributed to dietary and ecological factors. We analyzed volumes and linear dimensions of olfactory brain components (OBC) namely, olfact ory bulb (OB), olfactory tract (OT) and olfactory stria (OS) in an Afrotherian insectivore, the rufous sengi. These findings were t hen compared with those obtained previously in dogs (carnivore), goats (herbivore) and humans (omnivore). Volumes, lengths and breadths of t h OBC were compared with those of the cerebral hemisphere (CH) and the whole brain (WB) by working out their ratios (%). In the sengi , the volume of OBC: WB was 1.03 %, length of OBC: CH = 58.08 % and breadth of OB: CH = 28.97 %. In an earlier report by Kavoi & Jameela respective values for the above parameters were 0.03 %, 21.47 % & 8.94 % in humans, 0.77 %, 51.87 % & 29.73 % in goats and 1.95 %, 72.30 % & 42.91 % in dogs. These observations suggest that the anatomical design of OBC happens in a manner that mimics an animal’s level of reliance on the sense of smell vis-à-vis feeding lifestyles, habitat and dynamics of evolution.
Real Estate Market and Uncertainty Shocks : A Novel Variance Causality Approach Ahdi

This paper investigates the impact of macroeconomic effects of uncertainty on the conditional volatility of US-listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). To this end we employ three broadly known US REITs indices and two uncertainty indices. Our sample is extensive covering the period from 4 th of January 1999 to 28 th of June, 2013. Employing a novel variance causality test that is robust to distributional assumptions we track the response of REITs conditional volatility to various key events as marked by the evolution of the uncertainty indices. Our results provide some useful insights for the information flow between real estate and macroeconomic environment. We provide evidence in favor of a two-way transmission channel between REITs conditional volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty. Moreover, equity REITs appear rather sensitive to deteriorating investors’ sentiment. Policy implications for investors, regulators and monetary authorities are also discussed.
The effect of adding supplementary writing to an extensive reading program

This study investigated whether adding supplementary writing to an extensive reading program would increase its effectiveness for the development of grammatical accuracy. The participants were Japanese female college learners of English (N = 104) studying in an extensive reading program. The Japanese summary group (n = 34) wrote summaries in Japanese, the English summary group (n = 34) wrote summaries in English, and the Correction group (n = 36) wrote summaries in English, received corrective feedback, and rewrote their corrected summaries. All participants read an average of 2300 pages (about 500,000 words) in three semesters, and the Correction group's summaries were corrected 25 times. The results revealed that all three groups improved significantly, and there were no statistically significant differences among the groups on three tests. The questionnaire revealed that the Japanese summary group spent 150 hours reading while the other groups spent about 300 hours reading, writing and rewriting. The conclusion was that adding supplementary writing did not lead to greater accuracy and that it was inefficient.

Running head: Hedging Towards evidence-based writing advice: Using applied linguistics to understand reviewers’ expectations Currently in press at Academy of Management Learning and Education

Several best practice articles in management journals provide prospective authors with guidelines on how to satisfy the explicit and implicit expectations of editors and reviewers in management research. Although these suggestions may be particularly beneficial for non-US authors, who lack visibility in high impact journals, the suggestions are usually not based on empirical data. Thus, we argue that writing advice should be evidence-based, and explain what the field of applied linguistics has to offer in this regard. Using the linguistic concept of hedges (words reducing commitment to claims), we analyze 1,991 management research articles written by US, European, and Indian scholars. We find that European and Indian researchers use hedges less often, suggesting that expectations of reviewers from US journals are likely unmet. More generally, our research implies that research socializations might influence authors’ and reviewers’ perception of the necessity of rhetorical devices. Our hope is that the results of this study might raise the awareness for such peculiarities of language and convince editors and reviewers to become more tolerant of them.
Addis Ababa , Ethiopia

Mothers carry the prime responsibility for childcare and feeding in low-income countries. Understanding their experiences in providing food for their children is paramount to informing efforts to improve the nutritional status of children. Such information is lacking in Sub-Saharan Africa. To understand what influences urban mothers’ food acquisition and their motivations for selecting food for their children, 36 in-depth interviews were carried out with mothers having children under five years of age. Interviews were conducted in the local language, audio-recorded, transcribed, and translated into English. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis which led to the identification of four major themes: mothers give-in to a child-driven diet; quick-fix versus the privilege of planning; keen awareness on food safety, nutrition, and diet diversity; and social, familial, and cultural influences. The findings indicate that child feeding practices are influenced by interlinked social and environmental factors. Hence, nutrition education campaigns should focus on targeting not only families but also their children. Attention should also be given to food safety regulations, as well as to the much-needed support of mothers who are struggling to ensure their children’s survival in low-income countries.
Harnessing the Underutilized Value of Pineapple Pulp in South Western Uganda ; Application in Fortifying Wheat Flour for Healthier Consumption

In Uganda, pineapple processing into juice and wine is the fastest growing pineapple processing venture, during which this study observed that large amounts of pineapple pulp left behind, which contains abundant dietary fiber, is discarded as industrial waste, resulting in the loss of valuable food nutrients. Proximate analysis and processing into dry pineapple pulp powder, which is later used for fortifying commercial wheat flour, provides opportunity for production of a highly nutritious and affordable product with enormous health benefits. This paper therefore explores the feasibility of harnessing the untapped value of abundant dietary fiber content in fresh pineapple pulp, for use in improving dietary fiber content in commercial wheat flour. Fortifying commercial wheat flour using dry pineapple powder is a reliable way of enriching wheat flour with dietary fiber and ascorbic acid. This process transforms commercial wheat flour, widely consumed cereal flour in Uganda, into a much healthier food option for the fast-growing use of fast foods most of which utilize wheat flour especially in fried and baked products.
Embryonic origin of some evolutionarily significant viscerocranial structures in amphibians

Cranial neural crest cells migrate in a precisely segmented manner to form cranial ganglia, facial skeleton and other derivatives. Here, we investigate the mechanisms underlying this patterning in the axolotl embryo using a combination of tissue culture, molecular markers, scanning electron microscopy and vital dye analysis. In vitro experiments reveal an intrinsic component to segmental migration; neural crest cells from the hindbrain segregate into distinct streams even in the absence of neighboring tissue. In vivo, separation between neural crest streams is further reinforced by tight juxtapositions that arise during early migration between epidermis and neural tube, mesoderm and endoderm. The neural crest streams are dense and compact, with the cells migrating under the epidermis and outside the paraxial and branchial arch mesoderm with which they do not mix. After entering the branchial arches, neural crest cells conduct an ‘‘outside-in’’ movement, which subsequently brings them medially around the arch core such that they gradually ensheath the arch mesoderm in a manner that has been hypothesized but not proven in zebrafish. This study, which represents the most comprehensive analysis of cranial neural crest migratory pathways in any vertebrate, suggests a dual process for patterning the cranial neural crest. Together with an intrinsic tendency to form separate streams, neural crest cells are further constrained into channels by close tissue apposition and sorting out from neighboring tissues.

What Do Data on Millions of U.S. Workers Reveal About Lifecycle Earnings Dynamics?

We study individual male earnings dynamics over the life cycle using panel data on millions of U.S. workers. Using nonparametric methods, we first show that the distribution of earnings changes exhibits substantial deviations from lognormality, such as negative skewness and very high kurtosis. Further, the extent of these nonnormalities varies significantly with age and earnings level, peaking around age 50 and between the 70th and 90th percentiles of the earnings distribution. Second, we estimate nonparametric impulse response functions and find important asymmetries: Positive changes for high‐income individuals are quite transitory, whereas negative ones are very persistent; the opposite is true for low‐income individuals. Third, we turn to long‐run outcomes and find substantial heterogeneity in the cumulative growth rates of earnings and the total number of years individuals spend nonemployed between ages 25 and 55. Finally, by targeting these rich sets of moments, we estimate stochastic processes for earnings that range from the simple to the complex. Our preferred specification features normal mixture innovations to both persistent and transitory components and includes state‐dependent long‐term nonemployment shocks with a realization probability that varies with age and earnings.
ANTICOCCIDIAL EFFECT OF SOME NATURAL PRODUCTS IN EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED EIMERIA SPP. INFECTION ON CARCASS QUALITY, INTESTINAL LESION AND ILEAL HISTOLOGY IN BROILERS

We evaluated some natural products to compare their effects against a synthetic anticoccidial drug in an induced Eimeria spp. infection in broiler during the finisher stage. On day 15, a total of 200 birds (Ross 308) were randomly distributed into 10 treatments. Birds were infected with Eimeria spp. in the positive control and treatment groups. The results indicated that feed intake, body weight and feed conversion ratio (FCR) did not differ significantly (P>0.05) between synthetic anticoccidial drug and natural products. Challenged birds had longer small intestines and heavier liver as compared to unchallenged birds. Lesion score and oocysts secretion increased significantly (P<0.05) in the challenged birds, however, synthetic anticoccidial drug had no significant (P>0.05) difference with the natural products. It was concluded from the present study natural products are very effective in comparison with anticoccidial drug to control coccidiosis in broiler chicken.
Quantifying the effect of embedded component orientation on flexural properties in additively manufactured structures

In-situ embedding with Additive Manufacturing (AM) enables a user to insert functional components in a part by pausing the print, inserting the component into a specially designed cavity, and then resuming the print. This introduces the capability to merge the reliable functionality of external parts into AM structures, allowing multifunctional products to be manufactured in a single build. Previous research has shown that process interruption introduces weaknesses at the paused layer, and the presence of an embedding cavity further reduces the maximum tensile strength of the part. The research presented in this paper expands this understanding by investigating the impact of the process and design considerations for embedding on the strength of the material extrusion parts. A cuboidal geometry is embedded with different orientations with a flush surface at the paused layer, and tested for maximum bending strength. The findings help to further design guidelines for embedding with material extrusion AM.
THE INFLUENCE OF PENETRATOR GEOMETRY AND IMPACT VELOCITY ON THE FORMATION OF CRATER VOLUME IN SEMI-INFINITE TARGETS

This paper presents an analysis of crater volumes in Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA) steel targets, produced by various shapes of tungsten alloy penetrators. A number of surveys of hole volume relationships have been produced previously [1,2]. Hohler and Stilp found crater volumes at low ordnance velocity to be dependent on the length to diameter (L/D) ratio of the penetrator, but this dependency disappeared at higher velocities. Murphy examined impact energy normalised by crater volume (E/V) and observed a minima in E/V for RHA at 5 km/s. The E/V ratio has been applied more frequently to spheres than the more conventional long rod penetrators for which penetration depth is the key concern. Nevertheless, E/V supports the efforts of analytical modelers, and studies into the lethality of novel penetrators.
Green Point residents ’ perceptions of the socio-economic impact of the Cape Town Carnival

This study investigates the socio-economic impact of the Cape Town Carnival (CTC) as perceived by residents of the Green Point suburb of Cape Town. In most cases, successful carnival events are underpinned by community support thus it is crucial to examine residents’ perceptions towards such events. The CTC is an annual cultural event which celebrates the transformative power of creativity as well as African identity. In this study, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 318 Green Point residents within a two weeks period after the 2016 CTC event (12 – 26 March). The respondents were surveyed using a spatially-based stratified random sampling method. The investigation explored the perceptions of the residents, in relation to the carnival event, as well as highlighting the positive and negative aspects of their experience. The research primarily adopted quantitative research approach by using a questionnaire with mostly closed-ended questions. The data were analysed using SPSS version 24 software and the findings were visually presented by the use of frequency tables. Key findings of the study highlighted that residents generally perceived the socio-economic impacts of the CTC event positively. However, few residents perceive the event negatively and suggested ways of ensuring that it continues flawlessly. The study recommends more community involvement in the planning of the event. Furthermore, due to the change of perceptions over time, it is recommended that longitudinal and comparative studies be conducted in order to assess the perceptions and to compare the impacts of hosting the CTC event in the Green Point area.
Title ( English ) Perfusion culture of human lymphocytes in the WAVE Bioreactor TM 2 / 10 system

Over the last decade the use of disposable bioreactors has increased, creating requests for better regulation and new applications for their use. In the present investigation, expansion and characterization of two human lymphocyte perfusion cultures, with the main focus on natural killer cells, in the WAVE Bioreactor 2/10 system is described. Additionally, the potential of the magnetic chromatography Mag Sepharose to bind cells was studied. Large variations were observed between lymphocyte cultures, both in absolute cell numbers and also the percentage of different cell types generated following three weeks cultivation. Furthermore, the cytolytic activity of expanded cells as well as their cytokine expression varied greatly. Binding of cells by Mag Sepharose was observed; however, more studies need to be performed to be able to determine if Mag Sepharose can indeed be used for cell separations.
