A STUDY OF CENTRAL GALAXY ROTATION WITH STELLAR MASS AND ENVIRONMENT

We present a pilot analysis of the influence of galaxy stellar mass and cluster environment on the probability of slow rotation in 22 central galaxies at mean redshift z = 0.07. This includes new integral-field observations of five central galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, observed with the SPIRAL integral-field spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The composite sample presented here spans a wide range of stellar masses, log( , and are embedded in halos ranging from groups to clusters, log( . We find a mean probability of slow rotation in our sample of P(SR) %. Our results show an increasing probability of slow rotation in central galaxies with increasing stellar mass. However, when we examine the dependence of slow rotation on host cluster halo mass, we do not see a significant relationship. We also explore the influence of cluster dominance on slow rotation in central galaxies. Clusters with low dominance are associated with dynamically younger systems. We find that cluster dominance has no significant effect on the probability of slow rotation in central galaxies. These results conflict with a paradigm in which halo mass alone predetermines central galaxy properties.
Effect of flaxseed incorporation on physical , sensorial , textural and chemical attributes of cookies

Considering the potential of flaxseed as functional ingredient, roasted flaxseed flour (RFF) was incorporated by substituting refined wheat flour at 5%, 10%, 15%, 25% and 30% in cookies formulations. Thickness and diameter of cookies increased as flaxseed flour was increased. Addition of flaxseed restricted the spread of cookies. 15% flaxseed flour incorporated cookies were found to be well comparable with control in sensory evaluation. Hardness and fracturability of experimental cookies increased up to 15% flaxseed flour incorporation. Thereafter, both these attributes showed decline trend. Chemical composition showed that moisture, ash, fat and protein content increased in flaxseed flour cookies than control. Fiber content was nine times more in flaxseed flour cookies than the control. Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) content increased from 0.19% (control) to 4.76% in optimized cookies. An improvement in polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio was observed while ω-6 to ω-3 fatty acid found to be decreased to well below maximum recommended value.
EL ANÁLISIS FACTORIAL COMO TÉCNICA DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN PSICOLOGÍA

The present text explains the main aspects of factor analysis as a tool in psychological research. First, the basic issues are revised at a conceptual level, so that the review is appropriate for beginners as well as for those who want an in deep knowledge of the technique. Next, the differences between exploratory and confirmatory analysis as well as the procedures for fitting the model and transforming the initial solution are discussed in detail. These issues are discussed according to the recommended steps in a factor-analytic research: from the design and data collection to the interpretation of the final solution. Finally, the functioning of the “Factor” program is explained. Factor is more complete than most commercial programs, and is also freely distributed. Additionally, a solved exercise is proposed as a practice to apply the material discussed in the text.
Fascioliasis in Cattle and Goat Slaughtered at Calabar Abattoirs

The occurrence of fascioliasis among trade ruminants (cattle and goat) slaughtered at Calabar abattoirs was investigated using centrifugal method, haemocytometer and histological preparations for fecal, blood and liver tissue examinations respectively. One hundred and seventy nine (44.8%) of 400 cattle and 126 (36.0%) of 350 goat respectively had fascioliasis. Parasite intensity ranged between 8 - 10 flukes per liver of infected cattle and 4 - 5 flukes per liver of infected goat. Infected liver of the two ruminants were damaged. Damaged Hepatic parenchyma resulting in severe haemorrhage, thickening and gross fibrosis of bile duct were observed. Dislodge hepatic cells became wandering cells amidst macrophages within the sinusoid. The central vein of cattle infected by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica was enlarged and laden with debris resulting in obstruction of liver function such as protein synthesis. This caused the liver to be rejected. Seven to seventeen percent of infected cattle liver and2 – 7% of infected goat liver were discarded. Excessive leucocytosis with marked eosinophilia was observed in infected animal blood. It is important to examine carcasses of ruminants slaughtered in abattoirs before presentation for public consumption.
High-Resolution Stratigraphy of a Sandy, Ramp-Type Margin—Apalachicola, Florida, U.S.A.

High-resolution single-channel seismic data were collected on the middle shelf to upper slope, offshore Apalachicola, Florida, to characterize fluvial–deltaic stratigraphy on a sandy, ramp-type margin. On the west Florida shelf, deltas exhibit wedge-shaped geometries. Clinoform angles are relatively steep (~ 3°), and bottomset bed development is minimal, suggesting deposition in a relatively high-energy environment. Chronostratigraphic control for the study area is absent, so ages of deltaic units were inferred from the updip pinch-out elevations, offlap break elevations, and stratigraphic relationships. From the stratal relationships, we infer that at least three glacioeustatic cycles (OIS-9 to OIS-1) were imaged. Five units were identified, with unit 1 being the youngest. Sediment volume for unit 4 (OIS-7 to OIS-6) was four times greater than unit 2 (OIS-5 to OIS-4). Unit 2 drainage was line-sourced and deposited deltas with a shore-parallel steep seaward margin. In contrast, unit 4 drainage was point-sourced and deposited elongate deltas on the shelf. Highstands were dominated by deltas deposited on the middle to outer shelf. Subaerial exposure of the inner shelf and the development of an extensive braid plain characterized lowstand deposition. Lowstand incised fluvial valleys, canyons, and deep-water fans are absent. The transgressive systems tract is characterized by valley fill and sand ridges on the inner shelf and backstepped deltas and slope wedges on the middle shelf to upper slope.

The Parametric Instability of Alfvén Waves: Effects of Temperature Anisotropy

We study the stability of large-amplitude, circularly polarized Alfvén waves in an anisotropic plasma described by the double-adiabatic/CGL closure, and in particular the effect of a background thermal pressure anisotropy on the well-known properties of Alfvén wave parametric decay in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Anisotropy allows instability over a much wider range of values of parallel plasma beta (β∥) when ξ = p0⊥/p0∥ > 1. When the pressure anisotropy exceeds a critical value, ξ ≥ ξ* with ξ* ≃ 2.7, there is a new regime in which the parametric instability is no longer quenched at high β∥, and in the limit β∥ ≫ 1, the growth rate becomes independent of β∥. In the opposite case of ξ < ξ*, the instability is strongly suppressed with increasing parallel plasma beta, similarly to the MHD case. We analyze marginal stability conditions for parametric decay in the (ξ, β∥) parameter space and discuss possible implications for Alfvénic turbulence in the solar wind.
Barriers effect on lotic fish fauna

Barriers in running (lotic) waters are known to have serious impacts on fish fauna that would otherwise naturally colonialize them. The two most important effects barriers have on lotic fish fauna are the blockage of fish migration routes and the reduction of water velocity. These effects can in turn change the conditions for survival for species using lotic habitats. In this study I have investigated how barriers effect lotic fish fauna and whether the number of barriers blocking a river section from a migration pool is an important factor affecting these communities. To investigate this, a specially designed net, The Nordic multi-mesh Stream Survey Net (NSSN), for lotic watercourses was used to sample fish in the Swedish river Hedstrommen during July 2015. The number of species caught in the net was noted, the number of individuals per species counted, and in addition the body length was measured for European perch (Perca fluviatilis). In contrast to our predictions, number of species did not differ between unblocked and blocked sections in the river. However, there were differences in abundance (i.e. total number of individuals), although species differed in this respect. Seven out of the total eleven species were unevenly distributed between the two site categories (blocked and unblocked), in general showing a greater abundance in unblocked sites, thus following the predictions of this study. For European perch there were also differences in body length between the sites, with mean length being larger in blocked sites, proving different ecological implications depending on whether the site is obstructed or not. These results thus indicate that many fish species in lotic waters are affected by barriers.
Long-term stand dynamics of managed spruce–fir–beech mountain forests in Central Europe: structure, productivity and regeneration success

With a total area of several million hectares, mountain forests of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst. ), silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) connect the beech-covered lowlands and spruce-dominated alpine regions and still represent the most natural though managed forests in Europe. For sustaining their unique functions and services, their natural gap dynamics are emulated by the combined shelterwood–femelcoupe system. In the 1970s, 22 long-term experimental plots were established in the Bavarian Alps in order to substantiate the formerly mainly experience-based silvicultural prescriptions. After more than 40 years of successive surveys including the integrated evaluation of the old stands and the measurement of natural regeneration, analyses reveal: (1) The reduction of overstorey density is generally associated with a proportional reduction of the overstorey stand growth. So, the recommended 20–40 per cent density reduction of a combined shelterwood– femel coupe may reduce the mean annual increment also by 20–40 percent, but part of this loss is compensated by the additional growth of the regeneration. (2) Over time, the natural regeneration is continuously augmented by new recruitment of seedlings and saplings. (3) However, even 40 years after initiating regeneration, spruce is rare in the regeneration compared with fir, beech and other broadleaved species. Further observation will show whether spruce will catch up with the other species or whether it requires either larger disturbances than gap and femel coupes, or possibly planting. Based on these findings, a refined shelterwood–femel-coupe system is proposed and its advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
Impact of Country of Origin and Organic Certification on Consumer Food Choices in Developed and Emerging Economies

To investigate the influence of COO on consumers’ food choices in the presence of other quality cues, a choice-based conjoint (CBC) experiment was conducted in Germany, France, China and Thailand. In each country, a sample of about 1000 consumers participated after being screened for responsibility for the household’s shopping, consumption of the case product, and knowledge of organic food. The overall design is a full factorial with four COOs, three different organic label conditions and three price levels. The 36 different choice options were bundled in 12 choice sets of three alternatives, which were presented in random order. The study revealed a general tendency to prefer imported food products from economically developed over products from less developed countries. In Europe, this effect cannot be disentangled from a preference for nearby COOs. However, in Asia, distance to the COO seems less important. Country image linked to level of economic development seems to
Management of Side-Effects of Selective-Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors in Children and Adolescents

Background: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the recommended and most commonly used antidepressant medications for children and adolescents. This class of medications has been considered generally safe with few significant treatment emergent adverse reactions that generally abate over time. All antidepressants carry the precautionary warning for potential increase in suicidal ideation and close monitoring is recommended. Management of side effects of this widely used class of drugs is an important aspect of any medical practice that cares for children and adolescents. Objective: To provide a succinct and clinically relevant review of side effects of SSRIs and their management in clinical practice. Method: A literature search was done of relevant published articles in English language in the Medline database. Results and Conclusion: Gastrointestinal side effects are most common with the use of SSRIs and generally are tolerable and do not need discontinuation of the medication. Cardiovascular side effects are uncommon; however, prolonged QT syndrome has been reported. In utero exposure results in a constellation of signs and symptoms in the newborn called poor neonatal adaptation syndrome. In utero exposure also is associated with teratogenicity. Although less frequent, symptoms suggesting behavioral activation, switching, serotonin syndrome and discontinuation or withdrawal syndrome need careful evaluation and management.

Comparison of mathematical models and artificial neural networks for prediction of drying kinetics of mushroom in microwave vacuum dryer

Drying characteristics of button mushroom slices were determined using microwave vacuum drier at various powers (130, 260, 380, 450 W) and absolute pressures (200, 400, 600, 800 mbar). To select a suitable mathematical model, 6 thin-layer drying models were fitted to the experimental data. The fitting rates of models were assessed based on three parameters; highest R2, lowest chi square () and root mean square error (RMSE). In addition, using the experimental data, an ANN trained by standard back-propagation algorithm, was developed in order to predict moisture ratio (MR) and drying rate (DR) values based on the three input variables (drying time, absolute pressure, microwave power). Different activation functions and several rules were used to assess percentage error between the desired and the predicted values. According to our findings, Midilli et al. model showed a reasonable fitting with experimental data. While, the ANN model showed its high capability to predict the MR and DR quite well with determination coefficients (R2) of 0.9991, 0.9995 and 0.9996 for training, validation and testing, respectively. Furthermore, their predictions Mean Square Error were 0.00086, 0.00042 and 0.00052, respectively.
Robustness assessment using nonlinear analysis methods: a parametric study

In the study presented in this paper, static and dynamic nonlinear analyses were undertaken on representative planar frames with a range of different geometrical and mechanical parameters, with the aim of assessing whether analysis methods drawn from current seismic design principles can be successfully applied to the case of a typical robustness scenario, where a column is suddenly lost as a result of an accidental action. It was shown that static nonlinear methods of analysis can provide a good approximation of the structural response. Seismic detailing was found to significantly improve robustness, with higher benefits seen at low ductility levels, and similar trends to what is currently known within earthquake engineering were obtained. The geometric nonlinearity was found to be critical, allowing for a realistic representation of the structural performance. Increasing the number of storeys was shown to enhance progressive collapse resistance, while gravity loads tend to increase progressive collapse and ductility demands; on the contrary, equivalent viscous damping was shown to reduce the ductility demand. Removal time was found to be of primary importance on the structural response, with inertial effects significantly being reduced when the removal time is longer.
An introduction to teaching motivations in different countries: comparisons using the FIT-Choice scale

The FIT-Choice program of research (Factors Influencing Teaching Choice; http://www. fitchoice.org) began in 2001, prompted by two questions that had been forming for Richardson over the course of a decade: why do people from demanding, high-status and financially rewarding careers want to switch into teaching? and, what motivates people to choose teaching at all? Richardson directed a Graduate Diploma in Education program which attracted a large proportion of people intent on leaving their prior careers to become teachers. At the beginning of each year people from a wide variety of careers would competitively seek enrolment into teacher education, including women seeking to return to work and a new career following time out of the workforce to start a family, younger graduates who had decided on teaching after a ‘gap’ year or two travelling overseas, older recent graduates, people already teaching in private schools, and an assortment of engineers, practising medical doctors, veterinary surgeons, solicitors, accountants, psychologists and company executives. What was striking about this latter group was their intention to leave more prestigious and highly paid careers to pursue teaching. The severe downturn in employment opportunities in the petroleum industry seemed a logical explanation at one stage for why petroleum engineers were seeking other employment, but this was not the case for solicitors, veterinarians, medical practitioners, accountants and many others. Having to select from such people prompted Richardson’s reflection on his own decision to become a teacher, how it had happened and what motivated others to do the same. Did these aspiring career switchers into teaching hold values, beliefs, expectancies in common? Assumptions and explanations that circulate among those involved in teacher education did little to address the questions about what motivates a broad cross-section of people who have diverse experiences in work and life to want to become teachers, and what sustains them once they enter teaching. Their talents and demonstrated abilities undermined the simplistic notion often promulgated in the media that people who want to become teachers are those unable to pursue more prestigious careers, so that teaching is a ‘fallback career’. Were their reasons for switching to a teaching career as diverse as the individuals themselves, or were there core motivations shared by teachers in general? Why had the teacher education literature not been in dialogue with the literature on occupational choice and more importantly, why was no attention paid to robust existing motivational theories when examining teaching motivations? It was these questions
A Longitudinal Study of Engineering Student Performance and Retention

A cohort of chemical engineering students has been taught in an experimental sequence of five chemical engineering courses, beginning with the introductory course in the Fall 1990 semester. Differences in academic performance have been observed between students from rural and small town backgrounds (“rural students,” N=55) and students from urban and suburban backgrounds (“urban students,” N=65), with the urban students doing better on almost every measure investigated. In the introductory course, 80% of the urban students and 55% of the rural students passed with a grade of C or better, with average grades of 2.63 for the urban students and 1.80 for the rural students (A=4.0). The urban group continued to earn higher grades in subsequent chemical engineering courses. After four years, 79% of the urban students and 64% of the rural students had graduated or were still enrolled in chemical engineering; the others had either transferred out of engineering or were no longer attending the university. This paper presents data on the students’ home and school backgrounds and speculates on possible causes of observed performance differences between the two populations.

On Social Tolerance and the Evolution of Human Normative Guidance

Discussions about the evolution of human social cognition usually portray the social environment of early hominins as highly hierarchical and violent. In this evolutionary narrative, our propensity for violence was overcome in our lineage by an increase in our intellectual capacities. However, I will argue in this article that we are at least equally justified in believing that our early hominin ancestors were less aggressive and hierarchical than is suggested in these models. This view is consistent with the available comparative and palaeoanthropological evidence. I will show that this alternative model not only does not support long-held views of human origins, but also has important consequences for debates about the evolution of our capacity for normative guidance. 1.

Staging of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Deep Feature in Contrast-Enhanced MR Images

Clinical stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is of great significance for prognosis. Texture features of HCC in Contrast-enhanced MR images have been effective for predictions of staging. However, texture features are low-level features, which are usually insufficient to capture the complicated characteristics of HCCs. Recently, some studies have been dedicated to learning features in a data driven way for predictions. In this study, we use deep learning that can extract highlevel features in order to more accurately staging HCCs. Experimental results demonstrate that deep feature outperforms traditional texture features for HCC staging, and ensembles of deep features derived from multiview observations of HCCs yield best results.
