Measuring the Efficiency of Regional Integrated Transport in China: a Data Envelopment Analysis

This paper attempts to evaluate the integrated transport efficiency of provinces in China over the period 1988-2009 based on DEA model. The results indicate that the spatial pattern of three efficiency indexes demonstrates a declining trend from the eastern China to the western China, which coincides with the spatial pattern of economic development in China. The spatial distribution of transport efficiency of provinces in China is mainly determined by pure technical efficiency other than scale efficiency. Since the level of allocating and utilizing transport resources, is relatively low, which means the overall transport efficiency will be greatly improved through improving the ability in the resource utilization process in future. Our findings suggest that future development of transport network in China should be improved by restructuring and optimizing the transport network structure, especially to the necessity of building an open and efficient integrated transport system.
Theoretical Methods for Calculating the Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Minerals

The thermal conductivity of the lower mantle plays a major role in shaping the structure and dynamics of the region. However, the thermal conductivity of lower mantle minerals are, at present, not well constrained, because of difficulties in making measurements at such high pressures. Here we describe the most common theoretical methods available to calculate the thermal conductivity of materials, which provide an invaluable alternative to experimental techniques. In each case the general scheme is given and particular considerations highlighted. The advantages and disadvantages and applicability of the methods are then discussed. We conclude with a short review of theoretical studies of the lattice thermal conductivity of periclase.
Role of Absorptive Capacity, Knowledge Networks and Intellectual Property Rights in OSS Adoption of IT Firms: Doctoral Consortium Proposal

1. Motivation In recent times there is a disruptive change in the source of software and its development methodology. Most of the Information Technology (IT) product or service firms across the globe started adopting the Open Source Software (OSS) in different forms. As per a survey conducted by Blackduck software [65], 65% of the firms contributing to OSS and 59% of respondents participate in open source projects to gain competitive advantage. Two groups, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the Open Source Initiative (OSI) are recognized as founders of the OSS stream. FSF coined the term ‘‘free software,’’. In 1998, the OSI proposed replacing the term with ‘‘open source software”. Open source software development is becoming familiar with software development communities and organizations. The IT firms continue to look for sources to create sustained competitive advantages over their competitors through various innovative initiatives. IT firms apply different strategies, including make or buy new products or services; acquire or merge with specialized product or service firms, enhance their productivity through new technologies; develop a relationship with knowledge sources like research institutes and firms; or, adopting to OSS. The OSS has become a strategic asset in the software development of 95% of mainstream IT firms [18]. 
Shaping HR8799’s outer dust belt with an unseen planet

HR8799 is a benchmark system for direct imaging studies. It hosts two debris belts, which lie internally and externally to four giant planets. This paper considers how the four known planets and a possible fifth planet interact with the external population of debris through N-body simulations. We find that when only the known planets are included, the inner edge of the outer belt predicted by our simulations is much closer to the outermost planet than recent ALMA observations suggest. We subsequently include a fifth planet in our simulations with a range of masses and semimajor axes, which is external to the outermost known planet. We find that a fifth planet with a mass and semimajor axis of 0.1 MJ and 138 au predicts an outer belt that agrees well with ALMA observations, whilst remaining stable for the lifetime of HR8799 and lying below current direct imaging detection thresholds. We also consider whether inward scattering of material from the outer belt can input a significant amount of mass into the inner belt. We find that for the current age of HR8799, only ∼1 per cent of the mass-loss rate of the inner disc can be replenished by inward scattering. However, we find that the higher rate of inward scattering during the first ∼10 Myr of HR8799 would be expected to cause warm dust emission at a level similar to that currently observed, which may provide an explanation for such bright emission in other systems at ∼10 Myr ages.
IMPACT OF TEACHERS’ VOICE QUALITY ON CHILDREN’S LANGUAGE

Teachers are a professional group highly exposed to dysphonia, the accumulation of a high vocal demand and detrimental working environments are auspicious to the development of vocal disorders. Yet, the voice of a teacher is his main tool for conveying knowledge to his students, thus a teacher’s voice is of highest value. Recent studies have shown that altered vocal quality have an adverse impact on listeners’ speech processing skills. The objective of our study was to investigate the impact of dysphonic voice on the speech processing skills of 68 eight-year-old children on a text comprehension task and on a minimal pair discrimination task. Children were tested preliminarily according to their auditory attention skills and their lexical and phrasal skills. Children listened to a female voice that read a text and a list of minimal pairs first in a normal voice and then in a dysphonic voice. Their comprehension of the text was evaluated by their score at seven questions about the text and their discrimination score was defined according to the number of correctly discriminated pairs. Results show that dysphonic voice quality lowers the score of all children, regardless of age, gender or language processing skills and across both tasks (p < 0,05); the negative effect of the dysphonic voice quality is more marked on the discrimination task (p < 0,05). The results of this study clearly advocate for the prevention of voice disorders in teachers.
Syddansk Universitet TIMP-1 is under regulation of the EGF signaling axis and promotes an aggressive phenotype in KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer cells A potential novel approach to the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer

It is now widely accepted that therapeutic antibodies targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) can have efficacy in KRAS wild-type advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. What remains to be ascertained is whether a subgroup of KRAS-mutated CRC patients might not also derive benefit from EGFR inhibitors. Metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1) is a pleiotropic factor predictive of survival outcome of CRC patients. Levels of TIMP-1 were measured in pre-treatment plasma samples (n = 426) of metastatic CRC patients randomized to Nordic FLOX (5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin) +/− cetuximab (NORDIC VII study). Multivariate analysis demonstrated a significant interaction between plasma TIMP-1 protein levels, KRAS status and treatment with patients bearing KRAS mutated tumors and high TIMP-1 plasma level (> 3rd quartile) showing a significantly longer overall survival if treated with cetuximab (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.93). To gain mechanistic insights into this association we analyzed a set of five different CRC cell lines. We show here that EGFR signaling induces TIMP-1 expression in CRC cells, and that TIMP-1 promotes a more aggressive behavior, specifically in KRAS mutated cells. The two sets of data, clinical and in vitro, are complementary and support each other, lending strength to our contention that TIMP1 plasma levels can identify a subset of patients with KRAS-mutated metastatic CRC that will have benefit from EGFR-inhibition therapy.

Within-students variability in learning experiences, and teachers' perceptions of students' task-focus

In order to advance models of educational processes (intraindividual, intensive longitudinal), we propose a model in which we specify state and trait constructs, and an intraindividual variability construct. In our ecological momentary assessment study, we investigated how trait-level and intraindividual variability of students’ learning experiences (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, task difficulty, effort exertion, help-seeking and competence evaluations) converged with teacher-reported student task-focus. 285 primary school students’ (Years 5 and 6) completed the Learning Experience Questionnaire using handheld computers, on average 13.6 learning episodes during one week (SD = 4.6; Range = 5-29; n episodes = 3,433), and these were linked with teacher-reports. We defined mean squared successive differences (MSSD) for each indicator. We specified uni- and multivariate models of state, trait and intraindividual variability constructs of students’ learning experiences using multilevel structural equation models (MSEM). Teacher reported task-focus converged with trait constructs (from |r| = .22 to .42), and with intrapersonal variability constructs (from r = -.12 to r = -.36), higher task-focus being associated with less variability. Intraindividual variability formed a higher-order construct, and teachers’ negative wording bias was also associated with variability. Overall, our study provides support for intraindividual variability as a construct in its own right, which has the potential to provide novel insight into students’ learning processes.
Differentiation Strategy and Market Deregulation: Local Telecommunication Entry in the Late 1990s

The authors examine the role of differentiation strategies for entry behavior in markets for local telecommunication services in the late 1990s. Whereas the prior literature has used models of interaction among homogenous firms, this research is motivated by the claim of entrants that they differ substantially in their product offerings and business strategies. Exploiting a new, detailed data set of Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) entry into over 700 U.S. cities, the authors take advantage of recent developments in the analysis of entry and competition among differentiated firms. They test and reject the null hypothesis of homogeneous competitors. They also find strong evidence that CLECs account for both potential market demand and the business strategies of competitors when making their entry decisions. This suggests that firms' incentives to differentiate their services should shape the policy debate for competitive local telecommunications.
Which Library Should I Use?: A Metric-Based Comparison of Software Libraries

Software libraries ease development tasks by allowing client developers to reuse code written by third parties. To perform a specific task, there is usually a large number of libraries that offer the desired functionality. Unfortunately, selecting the appropriate library to use is not straightforward since developers are often unaware of the advantages and disadvantages of each library, and may also care about different characteristics in different situations. In this paper, we introduce the idea of using software metrics to help developers choose the libraries most suited to their needs. We propose creating library comparisons based on several metrics extracted from multiple sources such as software repositories, issue tracking systems, and Q&A websites. By consolidating all of this information in a single website, we enable developers to make informed decisions by comparing metric data belonging to libraries from several domains. Additionally, we will use this website to survey developers about which metrics are the most valuable to them, helping us answer the broader question of what determines library quality. In this short paper, we describe the metrics we propose in our work and present preliminary results, as well as faced challenges.
An analysis of public debates over urban growth patterns in the City of London, Ontario

In much of the developed world, the direction and patterns of urban growth have been the subject of public debate. Some scholars and practitioners believe that the current urban development pattern are too outward-oriented and are concerned about its possible negative consequences. Others defend outward expansion, arguing that it fulfils consumer preferences and promotes economic growth. Despite a sizeable literature on the topic, the discussion has been hampered by a lack of knowledge about how growth is perceived by key “agents of change”, those individuals whose decisions and activities affect the direction and patterns of urban growth. Additionally, the news media often represents the urban growth debate in simplistic, oppositional terms (e.g. “pro-growth” versus “anti-growth”, “pro-business” versus “anti-environment”) with little or no regard for local factors that affect development patterns in specific situations. As described in this article, we used a multi-method case study approach to address these limitations and to better understand recent urban growth issues. The primary goal of this study is to assess multiple perceptions of urban growth and management debate in London, Ontario. As elsewhere, the issue of urban growth patterns is intensely debated in this case study. However, we argue that discussion on this topic should change from simplistic generalisations to consideration of locale-specific factors that influence urban growth patterns.
Isolation, phenotypic and molecular characterization of motile Aeromonas species, the cause of bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia in affected farmed carp in Iran

Background: Motile Aeromonas species cause heavymortalities in carp farms during spring and summer in Iran. Objectives: The aim of this study was to detect phenotypicand genotypic characterization of motile Aeromonas species isolated fromdiseased carps in some northern and southern provinces of Iran. Methods: A number of 40 samples from 22 fish farms werecollected. The identified motile Aeromonas species were sequenced andphylogenetic tree was drawn by MEGA6 using UPGMA analysis. Results: A number of 19 bacterial isolates wereidentified as motile Aeromonas sp. by biochemical tests, and the DNAsegments of 16S rRNA gene of all these strains gave 1200 bp after running on 1%agarose electrophorus gel. Also, the sequencing results showed that thebacterial samples were determined as A. hydrophila and A. veroniibiovar veronii. Conclusions: Phylogenetic analysis revealed that motile Aeromonasstrains in this study were separated in two clusters and four genogroups with high similarities
Peacebuilding through non-formal education programmes: a case study from Karamoja, Uganda

ABSTRACT Experts increasingly refer to the crucial role of education in cultivating processes of sustainable peacebuilding in conflict-affected environments. While peacebuilding interventions have slowly started to place emphasis on aspects of equality or service delivery in formal education systems, the potential of non-formal education (NFE) programmes to foster social transformation in conflict-affected environments often remains unexploited. There is little research examining how NFE can affect the security situation and peace process in a conflict-affected region, or the role it plays in peacebuilding at large. To address these questions, the article draws on the case study of the Alternative Basic Education Karamoja (ABEK) programme in Uganda. It is based on a multi-track data collection strategy involving visits to learning centres, focus group discussions and interviews with government officials, teachers, youth, civil society organizations and other stakeholders over a period of three months in 2015. The study finds that, despite persistent implementation challenges, ABEK proved to (a) be relevant to the security and conflict conditions in the region; and (b) overcome structural and indirect forms of violence through alternative and flexible modes of education. The ABEK case therefore gives rise to much wider peacebuilding implications and formal education sector planning in conflict-affected environments.
Trait-mediated community assembly: distinguishing the signatures of biotic and abiotic filters

Conflicting hypotheses predict how traits mediate species establishment and community assembly. Traits of newly establishing individuals are predicted to converge, or be more similar to the resident, preexisting community, when the biotic or abiotic environment favors a single best phenotype, but are predicted to diverge when trait differences reduce competitive interactions. We tested these competing hypotheses using transplant seedlings in an old-field environment, and assessed the contribution of inter- and intra-specific transplant trait variation to community-level patterns. Using a soil moisture gradient and resident plant removals, we determined when traits of newly-establishing plants converge or diverge from the resident community by calculating community weighted mean traits for transplant and resident communities. We saw evidence of environmentally- and competitively-driven trait shifts that resulted in both trait convergence and divergence from the resident community, whose traits reflect the combined effects of both drivers. Leaf dry matter content (LDMC) of transplants diverged in the presence of competition, whereas plant height and stem-specific density (SSD) showed the opposite pattern, converging with the resident community in their presence. Specific leaf area (SLA) shifted with competition but did not reflect resident community SLA. All transplant traits were influenced by soil moisture, often in an interaction with competition, indicating that the strength of convergence or divergence is contingent on the abiotic environment. Intraspecific differences in transplant traits among treatments were evident in three of four traits; intraspecific height and SLA trends mirrored transplant community-level trends, whereas intraspecific shifts in SSD were distinct from community-level trends. Our study shows competition between plant species may cause traits of newly establishing plants to converge with the resident community, as frequently as it selects for trait divergence. These opposing effects of competition suggest that it plays a pervasive role in both intraspecific and species-level trait differences among communities.
Major and trace element data. A detrital record of the Nile River and its catchment

9 This research uses analyses from Nile catchment rivers, wadis, dunes and bedrocks to constrain the 10 geological history of NE Africa and document influences on the composition of sediment reaching 11 the Nile delta. Our data show evolution of the North African crust, highlighting phases in the 12 development of the Arabian-Nubian Shield and amalgamation of Gondwana in Neoproterozoic 13 times. The Saharan Metacraton and Congo Craton in Uganda have a common history of crustal 14 growth, with new crust formation at 3.0-3.5 Ga, and crustal melting at c.2. 7 Ga. The Hammamat 15 Formation of the Arabian-Nubian Shield is locally-derived and has a maximum depositional age of 16 635 Ma. By contrast, Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks are derived from more distant sources. The 17 fine-grained (mud) bulk signature of the modern Nile is dominated by input from the Ethiopian 18 Highlands, transported by the Blue Nile and Atbara rivers. Detrital zircons in the Nile trunk are 19 predominantly derived from Phanerozoic cover rocks. Most detritus from the upstream White Nile 20 is trapped in the Sudd marshes and contributes little to the Nile trunk. Therefore, the White Nile 21 downstream is dominated by locally-derived Phanerozoic cover. The White Nile proximal to the 22 Gezira Fan is influenced by the fan’s Blue Nile signature. 23
Inner–outer interactions in rough-wall turbulence

ABSTRACTHere we revisit the inner–outer interaction model (IOIM) of Marusic et al. (Science, vol. 329, 2010, pp. 193–196) that enables the prediction of statistics of the fluctuating streamwise velocity in the inner region of wall-bounded turbulent flows from a large-scale velocity signature measured in the outer region of the flow. The model is characterised by two empirically observed inner–outer interactions: superposition of energy from outer region large-scale motions; and amplitude modulation by these large-scale motions of a small-scale ‘universal’ signal (u*), which in smooth-wall flows is Reynolds number invariant. In the present study, the inner–outer interactions in rough-wall turbulent boundary layers are examined within the framework of the IOIM. Simultaneous two-point hot-wire anemometry measurements enable quantification, via the model parameters, of the strengths of superposition and amplitude modulation effects in a rough-wall flow, and these are compared to a smooth-wall flow. It is show.
