m-Government Security Response System: Predicting Citizens’ Adoption Behavior

ABSTRACT The participation of mobile technology could be a massive development to ensure the citizen’s safety by linking various government agencies under the umbrella of the m-government (m-govt) security response system (SRS). Based on the novel phenomenon of m-govt SRS, this research provides a comprehensive theoretical model to discover citizens’ adoption intention. Our findings proved that transparency and trust mediate the influence of information quality characteristics and channel characteristics, while perceived usefulness mediate the influence of awareness on citizens’ intentions to use; which reduce uncertainty and enhance citizens’ willingness to adopt the m-govt SRS. This study proved that perceived response time is a key construct in the context of providing m-govt SRS to enhance citizens’ intention to use. The outcomes make a noteworthy contribution to theoretical literature and having practical implications regarding understanding various aspects of m-govt SRS adoption among citizens, which provide the broadest view to government agencies for successful implementation of these services.
Summer feeding and bedding habitat selection by blue sheep(Pseudois nayaur)in Helan Mountains

We studied summer feeding and bedding habitat selection by blue sheep(Pseudois nayaur) in the Helan Mountains during the summers of 2004 and 2005.Data were collected by direct observations and examination of fresh sites used by sheep located on 25 transects across the entire study area.Blue sheep feeding habitats were characterized by montane steppe,smooth undulating slopes,distinctly broken slopes,cliffs,dominant trees(mainly Ulmus glaucescens and Populus davidiara),no dominant tree,low tree density,low tree height,far away from trees,high shrub density,low shrub height,close to shrubs,high food abundance,moderately steep slopes(30°),steep slopes(35°),half sunny slopes,low slopes,elevations of 1 600-2 000 m,close to water sources,distance to human disturbance of 1 600-2 000 m,distances to bare rock of 2-5 m,and hiding cover of 25%-75%. Bedding habitat used by blue sheep was associated with montane steppe,subalpine shrubland and meadow,distinctly broken slopes,cliffs,dominant trees dominated by Ulmus glaucescens and Populus davidiara,no dominant tree,low tree density,low tree height,great distance to trees,low shrub density,low shrub height,great distance to shrubs,food abundance of 50-100 g,steep and shady slopes(35),upper slopes,elevations of 1 600-2 000 and above 3 000 m,close to water sources,far away from human disturbance,close to bare rock,and high hiding cover.Selection of feeding and bedding habitat by the sheep showed a significant difference in ecological factors except tree height and distance to water resource.Compared with feeding habitat,bedding habitat was lower in tree density,further from trees,lower in shrub density,lower in shrub height,greater in distance to shrubs,lower in food abundance,steeper in slopes,further from human disturbance,closer to bare rock,and had less hiding cover.Stepwise discriminant analysis distinguished feeding habitat from random locations 85.8% of the time.A separate discriminant analysis differentiated between bedding habitat and random locations 89.1% of the time.
Device-Centric Distributed Antenna Transmission: Secure Precoding and Antenna Selection With Interference Exploitation

In this article, we address physical layer security in the distributed antenna (DA) systems, where eavesdroppers (Eves) can intercept the information transmitted for the intended receiver (IR). To realize a device-centric, power-efficient, and physical-layer security-aware system, we aim at minimizing power consumption by jointly designing DA selection and secure precoding. Different from the conventional artificial noise (AN)-aided secure transmission, where AN is treated as an undesired element for the IR, we design AN such that it is constructive to the IR while keeping destructive to the Eves. Importantly, we investigate two practical scenarios, where the IR and Eves’ channel state information (CSI) are imperfectly obtained or the Eves’ CSI is completely unknown. To handle the CSI uncertainties, we solve the problems in probabilistic and deterministic robust optimizations, respectively, both satisfying the IR’ signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirement by the use of constructive AN and addressing security against the Eves. The simulation results demonstrate our algorithms consume much less power compared to the centralized antenna (CA) systems with/without antenna selection, as well as the DA systems with conventional AN processing. Last but not least, by the proposed algorithms, the activation of DAs closely relates to devices’ locations and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, featuring a device-centric and on-demand structure.
Anforderungspriorisierung und Designempfehlungen für Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme der nächsten Generation – Ergebnisse einer explorativen Studie

Zur Forderung von Nachhaltigkeit in Unternehmen muss eine Vielzahl von heterogenen Daten in umweltrelevante Informationen konvertiert und durch Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme (BUIS) bereitgehalten werden. Da diese derzeit noch nicht im wunschenswerten Umfang strategische Informationen und Entscheidungshilfen bieten, sind die gegenwartigen Systeme den Anforderungen aus der Diskussion um Nachhaltigkeit nicht gewachsen. Wir entwerfen daher ein BUIS der Zukunft (BUIS 2.0), welches den Anforderungen strategischer Nachhaltigkeit gerecht wird. Die Ergebnisse einer Erhebung, die die Anforderungen an BUIS2.0 fruherer Befragungen, Workshops und Experteninterviews priorisiert, werden vorgestellt. Als ein unmittelbares Ergebnis der Erhebung werden erste Ansatze von architektonischen Konzepten fur BUIS 2.0 aufgezeigt, die in dem Projekt „IT-For-Green“ umgesetzt werden.
Effect of different light quality on photosynthetic characteristics of cucumber leaves

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cultivar “Changchun Mici”) seedlings were cultured in Hoagland solution under irradiation with different light spectra (8 h per day) for 20 days. The red light (λ max 658 nm, λ 1/2 25 nm), blue light (λ max 450 nm, λ 1/2 43 nm) and white fluorescent light possessed the same fluent rate (20 μmol·m -2 ·s -1 ). The experimental results showed that chlorophyll content of the leaves grown under white light was 7% and 22.4% higher than those in red and blue light, respectively. Compared with white and blue light, red light induced a lower Chl a/b ratio and a higher level of Chl b in the cucumber leaves. Measurements of the low temperature (77 K) fluorescence emission spectra and kinetics of Chl a fluorescence induction of the leaves proved that the leaves grown under red light expressed the highest PSⅡ and the lowest PSⅠ activities while the leaves under blue light had the lowest PSⅡ and the highest PSⅠ activities. The O 2 evolution rate of red light_grown leaves was 44.9% higher than that of the white light_grown leaves, while blue light effect was similar to that of white in respect of O 2 evolution. It is concluded that light quality is an important factor in regulating the development and activities of PSⅡ and PSⅠ and the O 2 evolution of photosynthesis in cucumber leaves.
Effects of low salinity stress on growth of juvenile Paralichthys olivaceus

To investigate the growth of juvenile brown flounder(Paralichthys olivaceus) under low salinity stress,we cultured the juveniles at salinity 5 for 0 week(control),1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks and 4 weeks,respectively,and then changed the salinity to 19 immediately.The experiment last 10 weeks.It is found that the average body weight of the juveniles at low salinity is significantly smaller than that in the control only in 1st week.Significant difference in daily growth coefficient among different treatments is found in 3rd and 5th week.There is no significant difference in the body weight and daily growth coefficient during the other experimental periods.The feeding rate of the juveniles under low salinity stress is slightly lower than that in the control.However,in recovery periods,no higher feeding rate is observed at low salinity.During the whole experimental period,the average feed conversion efficiency of the juveniles at low salinity is slightly higher than that in the control.The results indicate that low salinity(5) imposes no long-term effects on the growth of juvenile brown flounder and compensatory growth can not be achieved by culturing the flounder at low salinity for a long period.
Development and Utilization of EST-derived Microsatellites in Sesame(Sesamum indicum L.)

The deficiencies of markers in Sesamum indicum L. that can be used at home and aboard seriously restrict its studies in molecular field. To accelerate the application of molecular markers in sesame, EST-SSR markers development and utilization using publicly available sesame EST data were performed. A total of 1 785 non-redundant EST sets were assembled among the 3 328 identified sesame EST. 148 microsatellites sequences containing 155 EST-SSR were detected from these EST. The total length of the non-redundant EST sequences was 774.27 kb, on average one EST-SSR each 4.99 kb. The distribution characteris-tics of the EST-SSR markers was analyzed. Among the SSR, dinucleotide AG/TC was the most abundant (occurring 58 times), with frequency of 37.42%. According to these EST sequences containing SSR, 50 primer pairs were designed and tested on 36 sesame accessions, 2 cotton accessions, 2 soybean accessions, and 2 oil sunflower accessions to detect polymorphisms and trans-ferability. With 44 EST-SSR, 108 loci were successfully amplified in sesame, with an average of 2.45 loci per primer pair. Of the 44 amplified primer pairs, 27(61.4%) primer pairs revealed polymorphisms in the 36 sesame accessions. The PIC (polymorphism information content) ranged from 0.105 to 0.844, with an average of 0.390. Based on genetic similarity coefficient, the UPGMA dendrogram grouped 26 of 36 accessions in to two sub-clusters (III and IV), but it revealed no association between genotypes and geographical sources. In addition, 2, 3, and 4 SSR markers could be transferred to the PCR of cotton, soybean and oil sunflower respectively. This study effectively proved that EST-SSR from sesame is valuable for genetic analysis, linkage mapping and transferability study among oil plants.

Mechanisms of gambogic acid-induced apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells in relation to transferring receptors(TFR)

Objective To investigate the apoptosis along with its molecular mechanism caused by Gambogic acid( GA) in SPC-A-1 lung adencarcinoma cells and SK-MES-1 lung squamous cancer cells which are on their surface with different TFR expressions. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to measure the expression levels of TFR on the surface of two types of lung cancer cells. Flow cytometry were used to detect the apoptosis of SPC-A-1 and SK-MES-1 cells induced for 24 hours by GA respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the changes of Caspase2,Caspase9, Caspase10 and Bax,p53 in protein expressive levels affected by GA. Results The lung cells were promoted in apoptosis by the effect of GA. The sensitivity of the SPC-A-1 cells with the higher expression levels of TFR was higher than that of the SK-MES-1 cells at the same concentration. The expression of Caspase2,Caspase 9,Caspase10 and Bax,p53 were up-regulated by GA along with the increase of GA concentration. Conclusion GA induces the apoptosis of SPC-A-1 and SK-M ES-1 cells by binding TFR on the cell surface. Both endogenous and exogenous apoptosis pathways participated in the GA-induced lung cancer cell apoptosis. GA is a highly efficient anticancer drug with broad potential. In clinical practice,the histopathological quantitation of TFR expression levels in tumor tissues may become a predictor of the sensitivity of patients' tumors to GA treatment.

A Survey of Remote Data Integrity Checking: Techniques and Verification Structures

Cloud storage offers clients great convenience to relieve them from heavy burden of storage and management, so an increasing number of clients choose to outsource their data to remote cloud providers. However, for clients, this entails a sacrifice of actual control of these files. Remote servers may suffer from disk failure for uncertain reasons or even delete rarely accessed data to sell these storages to other clients. Therefore, there’s a great necessity for clients to make sure that their data are well stored in remote servers. Numbers of remote integrity checking (RIC) schemes are proposed to solve issues above, including following up work Provable Data Possession (PDP) and Proofs of Retrievability (PoR), which can be applied in cloud auditing. This paper presents state-of-the-art RIC schemes and makes a classification from the perspective of whether they support dynamic verifications, i.e., whether they can still be used to make verifications after clients modify, insert or delete files. In static verification schemes, we delve into the mechanisms and techniques used for integrity checking. For dynamic ones, we discuss the authentication structures that support dynamic operations. We also present several remarks to guide readers to a wide vision of data checking as conclusions and future work.
Using Social Scientific Criteria to Evaluate Cultural Theories: Encoding/Decoding Evaluated

This article transcends the issue of conflicting theoretical schools of thought to formulate a method of social scientific style theory evaluation for cultural studies. It is suggested that positivist social scientific models of theory critique can be used to assess cultural models of communication to determine if they should be classified as theories. A set of evaluation criteria is formulated as a guide and applied to Stuart Hall’s Encoding/Decoding to determine if it is a theory. Conclusions find the sharing of criteria between schools of thought is judicious, Encoding/Decoding fits the established criteria, and Encoding/Decoding should be referred to as a theory.
EVOLUTION OF HINGED TURTLES IN BATAGURIDAE INFERRED FROM SEQUENCES OF 12S rRNA GENE

S rRNA gene sequences were abtained from 6 species of hinged turtles of Cyclemys , Pyxidea and Cuora in Bataguridae. The origin and evolution of the hinged turtles and some taxonomic problems in Cuora were discussed with some sequences data of other genera in Bataguridae. The results indicate Cuora and Pyxidea are sister groups, which are far related to Cyclemys . The turtles with hinge structure in Bataguridae were probably not derived from one common ancestor. The result in this paper does not support the idea that the genus Cuora should be divided into two genera, Cuora and Cistoclemmys .
Smartphones in the Classroom: The Pros and Cons

The pros and cons of using smartphones during class time provide interesting challenges for today's educators. Some professors consider the use of smartphones during class time annoying and an impediment to the learning process. Students text, visit social sites, and use their smartphones during examinations. However, smartphones also have the potential to enhance the learning process. Students can research subject matter online for current information related to class topics. The use of smartphones as cameras to take pictures of information on the board or screen frees students to pay attention.
The effect of water stress on the growth yield of invasion plants of {\sl Mikania micrantha} seedlings

Moisture is the important environmental factor influencing the growth of Mikania micrantha. But few studies have described its adaptive capacity of adjusting and controlling the growth environment, including soil moisture and air humidity. The present study was conducted to set up 2 pieces of moisture gradient: control, 30%-60% of water content of soil and 80%-90% relative humidity of air; treatment Ⅰ, 10%-20% of water content of soil and 20%-30% relative humidity of air. The growth and photosynthetic characters of M. micrantha was influenced remarkable in treatment Ⅱ. In water stress conditions, the maximum net photosynthetic rate was only 1.94#mu#mol·m~(-2)·s~(-1) and the maximum quantum efficiency 64.91 mmol·mol~(-1) photons, obviously reduced as compared with control (8.63#mu#mol·m~(-2)·s~(-1) and 211.34mmol·mol~(-1)). With relative humidity of air used as one of the factors of water stress, this study reveals that relative air humidity could expand the growth range of M. micrantha, and air venting is the main reason that limits the growth of M. micrantha in the water stress condition.
Understanding the Basics of Quality Control in the Medical Laboratory – the Impact on Result Interpretation

The aim of this paper was to provide information on the limitations of current analytical methods and the basics in quality control in laboratory endocrinology which affect the results and their interpretation. For the practicing clinical endocrinologist it is important to understand the essentials of the quality of hormone measuring methods and their limitations. Awareness of the quality of methods will allow caution and/or ensure the reliability of result interpretation. A measuring method cannot be performed with equal precision and trueness for the entire measuring range, and may differ between parameters and manufacturers. According to the level of medical decision, the medical laboratory should determine the quality of the method and communicate that information to the clinician. The basic approach to quality control of measurement methods is useful knowledge for doctors working in a hospital setting or private practice. The advantages and limitations are presented of immunoassay-based methods and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) used for measurement in biochemistry laboratory. Conclusion – Hormone measurement is widely available but the methods may be affected by limitations. Understanding a method’s limitations and options for improvement enables the practicing clinician to interpret the test results rationally.
Study on allelopathy of soybean root exudates

The allelopathy of different densities of soybean root exudates on 4 main crops was studied.The results showed that the increasing of soybean root exudates density promoted the germination of wheat seeds,but inhibited the germination of soybean,corn and Chinese cabbage seeds;with the increasing of soybean root exudates density,the gross activity of SOD and the root activity of wheat and corn were enhanced significantly,but those of soybean were inhibited.However,the role of MDA content was different,with the increasing of soybean root exudates density,the MDA content of wheat decreased significantly,the MDA content of soybean increased significantly,the MDA content of corn changed little.The low density of soybean root exudates promoted plant height and dry weight,radial length and root dry weight of wheat and soybean,while the high density inhibited them;and for those of corn,the alleopathy was enhanced.
Teachers’ Website Design Experiences and Usability Test: The Case of weebly.com

Abstract This study was conducted in order to examine the process that the teachers designed the website. For this purpose, www.weebly.com, which is used as a web site building tool, was selected and teachers were given tasks for web designing. In this process, eye and mouse movements of teachers were recorded and analyzed via eye tracking devices. Comparative Static Group Pattern was determined as the research model. The participants were divided into groups formed by random assignment as experiment (N=15) and control group (N=15). This study was carried out in the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory. Experiments were designed differently for experiment and control groups. Before performing the tasks, an introduction video was shown to the experiment group. All participants were instructed about the tasks to complete in order and expected to perform them. Then, interview questions about the contribution of introduction videos and usability of website were asked. According to the results, weebly.com web site is very useful for building an educational web site for teachers. The group that watched the introduction video completed the tasks in a shorter time than the group who did not watch the videos. At the same time, the group who watched introduction videos before using the site was able to complete more tasks than the group that did not watch the videos. These results show that the use of introduction videos as a navigation facilitator enhances the usability. Keywords: Website design experience, teacher education, usability, eye tracking
