National Survey Assessment of the United States’ Pediatric Residents’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Newborn Screening

A pediatrician’s approach to newborn screening (NBS) impacts patient care. Some physicians have reported not being well prepared to inform families about a positive NBS and recommend further follow-up. The knowledge and approach of categorical pediatric residents (RES) in the United States regarding NBS is not known. They were anonymously surveyed via listserv maintained by American Academy of Pediatrics. A total of 655 responses were analyzed. The mean composite knowledge score (CKS) was 17.7 (SD 1.8), out of maximum 21. Training level (p = 0.001) and completing NICU rotation (p < 0.001) predicted higher CKS. Most RES agreed that NBS is useful and pediatricians play an important role in the NBS process, however, only 62% were comfortable with counseling. Higher level RES were more likely to follow NBS results in clinic (p = 0.0027) and know the contact agency for results (p < 0.001). Most RES wanted more NBS training during residency and were not aware of clinical algorithms like ACTion sheets developed by American College of Medical Genetics. We concluded that although RES have sufficient knowledge about NBS, there is a need for earlier RES education on available tools for NBS to enhance their comfort level and improve practices such as educating parents about the NBS process.
Optimization of a very low energy neutrino factory for the disappearance into sterile neutrinos

We discuss short-baseline electron and muon neutrino disappearance searches into sterile neutrinos at a Very Low Energy Neutrino Factory (VLENF) with a muon energy between about two and four GeV. A lesson learned from reactor experiments, such as Double Chooz and Daya Bay, is to use near and far detectors with identical technologies to reduce the systematical errors. We therefore derive the physics results from a combined near-far detector fit and illustrate that uncertainties on cross sections x efficiencies can be eliminated in a self-consistent way. We also include the geometry of the setup, i.e., the extension of the decay straight and the muon decay kinematics relevant at the near detector, and we demonstrate that these affect the sensitivities for Delta m^2 > 30 eV^2, where oscillations take place already in the near detector. Compared to appearance searches, we find that the sensitivity depends on the locations of both detectors and the muon energy, where the near detector should be as close as possible to the source, and the far detector at about 500 to 800m. In order to exclude the currently preferred parameter region, at least 10^19 useful muon decays per polarity are needed for E_mu=2 GeV, or, alternatively, a higher muon energy can be used.
Mean flow characteristics for the oblique impingement of an axisymmetric jet

The oblique impingement of an axisymmetric jet has been investigated. A summary of the data and the analytical interpretations of the dominant mechanisms which influence the flow are reported. The major characteristics of the shallow angle oblique jet impingement flow field are: (1) minimal dynamic spreading as revealed by the surface pressure field, (2) pronounced kinematic spreading as revealed by the jet flow velocity field, (3) a pronounced upstream shift of the stagnation point from the maximum pressure point, (4) the production of streamwise vorticity by the impingement process.

Understanding User Behavior in Social Networks Using Quantiﬁed Moral Foundations

Moral inclinations expressed in user-generated content such as online reviews or tweets can provide useful insights to understand users’ behavior and activities in social networks, for example, to predict users’ rating behavior, perform customer feedback mining, and study users’ tendency to spread abusive content on these social platforms. In this work, we want to answer two important research questions. First, if the moral attributes of social network data can provide additional useful information about users’ behavior and how to utilize this information to enhance our understanding. To answer this question, we used the Moral Foundations Theory and Doc2Vec, a Natural Language Processing technique, to compute the quantified moral loadings of usergenerated textual contents in social networks. We used conditional relative frequency and the correlations between the moral foundations as two measures to study the moral break down of the social network data, utilizing a dataset of Yelp reviews and a dataset of tweets on abusive user-generated content. Our findings indicated that these moral features are tightly bound with users’ behavior in social networks. The second question we want to answer is if we can use the quantified moral loadings as new boosting features to improve the differentiation, classification, and prediction of social network activities. To test our hypothesis, we adopted our new moral features in a multi-class classification approach to distinguish hateful and offensive tweets in a labeled dataset, and compared with the baseline approach that only uses conventional text mining features such as tf-idf features, Part of Speech (PoS) tags, etc. Our findings demonstrated that the moral features improved the performance of the baseline approach in terms of precision, recall, and F-measure.

Ceramic Waste-Based Natural Rubber Composites: An Exciting Way for Improving Mechanical Properties

Large amounts of fired ceramic waste produced in ceramic industry do not have a proper method to reuse and mainly thrown away into landfills since fired ceramics have already been sintered and thus their utilization as a raw material is limited. However, these solid wastes have a major environmental and economic concern. Thus, a proper management of such solid wastes is eminent. This research is dedicated to evaluating the possibility of using such ceramic waste as a low-cost filler material in the manufacture of natural rubber based composites. Ceramic particles smaller than 125 μm were selected initially for the preparation natural rubber based composites. For the latter part of the study, particles in sub-micrometer length scales were used. Elemental analyses and composition of the phases of the ceramic particles were determined by X-ray fluorescence and diffraction respectively. The average particle size was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surfaces of the sub micrometer size ceramic particles were modified using Silane69 coupling agent. The surface modification was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis and SEM coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Natural rubber based composites were prepared with different levels of ceramic filler loadings. The mechanical properties of the composites such as hardness, resilience, compression set, abrasion volume loss and tensile properties were evaluated. These properties of the composites were compared with those of the composites prepared according to the same formulation except the ceramic filler (control). The composites were found to have an exciting enhancement of mechanical properties with respect to the control. The mechanical property improvement is higher when the ball milled sub-micrometer size ceramic filler is used and it is even better when surface modified ceramic particles are used.
Disentangling the counteracting effects of water content and carbon mass on zooplankton growth

Abstract Zooplankton vary widely in carbon percentage (carbon mass as a percentage of wet mass), but are often described as either gelatinous or non-gelatinous. Here we update datasets of carbon percentage and growth rate to investigate whether carbon percentage is a continuous trait, and whether its inclusion improves zooplankton growth models. We found that carbon percentage is continuous, but that species are not distributed homogenously along this axis. To assess variability of this trait in situ, we investigated the distribution of biomass across the range of carbon percentage for a zooplankton time series at station L4 off Plymouth, UK. This showed separate biomass peaks for gelatinous and crustacean taxa, however, carbon percentage varied 8-fold within the gelatinous group. Species with high carbon mass had lower carbon percentage, allowing separation of the counteracting effects of these two variables on growth rate. Specific growth rates, g (d−1) were negatively related to carbon percentage and carbon mass, even in the gelatinous taxa alone, suggesting that the trend is not driven by a categorical difference between these groups. The addition of carbon percentage doubled the explanatory power of growth models based on mass alone, demonstrating the benefits of considering carbon percentage as a continuous trait.
And that is where the fun ends – General practitioners' conceptualisation of the line between recreational and problem gambling

Aims Problem gambling is normally identified by fixed criteria of harm adapted from those of substance abuse and by focusing on the individual gambler. However, rigid definitions neglect institutional variations of gambling practices within different legislative configurations. This study proposes analysing the line between recreational and problem gambling by focusing on gambling behaviour and looking at the corruption of the defining factors of play (Caillois, 1958) in three different institutional contexts. Design A stimulated focus-group method (Reception Analytical Group Interview) was applied to seven groups of Finnish and French general practitioners each and three groups of German ones to study the variations of conceptualising the defining factors of play as introduced by Caillois. Results Corruption of play was distinguished by participants from all three countries as the dividing line between recreational and problem gambling, but cultural variations were found: the French and German GPs emphasised the loss of the exceptionality of gambling, whereas the Finnish GPs highlighted the invasion of the home by online gambling. Furthermore, the Finnish and German participants were more concerned about the use of gambling as an emotional regulator, while French GPs echoed the French medical model in discussing the adrenaline rush of problem gamblers. Conclusions Caillois' defining factors of play can be used to distinguish recreational from problem gambling and to offer a more encompassing definition of problem gambling. The perception of the line between recreational and problem gambling also seems to depend on the institutional and cultural context.
Changing regional rural inequality in China 1980 – 2002

Regional rural inequalities in China since the reform are examined based on Theil’s regional inequality index. By using data from the three zones (east, central and west) and provinces in the period 1980–2002, I find that China’s rural regional inequality has an overall increasing trend with a short period of decrease during the entire reform period. However, the trends vary in different indicators and different geographical scales. The trend of income inequality does not always match that of rural economic inequality. The decomposition of Theil’s regional inequality further reveals that, since 1987, interregional inequalities between the eastern, central and western regions have been more serious than provincial inequality within the regions themselves. For example, when rural nonagriculture inequality decreased substantially within the east, it increased greatly within the west. Similarly, the income inequality increased within the west and the east but decreased within the central region. China’s regional rural inequality remained at a high level and the coastal/interior income differential continued to increase.
The influence of organic matter from swine wastewater on the interaction and transport of alachlor in soil

This study evaluated the effects of total and dissolved organic matter produced from two swine wastewater treatment systems, a biodigester and a manure lagoon, on the adsorption, desorption, and leaching of alachlor (2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide) in soil. It was used the batch equilibrium method to test adsorption and desorption, and the results are presented in Freundlich isotherms. It also used disturbed soil columns to evaluate the miscible displacement of alachlor in soil treated with total and dissolved organic matter. This assay was used to monitor the concentration of alachlor in the leached material, the amount of total organic carbon, and the pH. The addition of swine wastewater promoted greater adsorption and desorption of alachlor compared with the control. The dissolved organic matter promoted less soil adsorption of alachlor compared with the total organic matter and also interacted with the alachlor and/or competed with the exchangeable cation sites in the soil, resulting in greater leaching. The total organic matter contributed to the emergence of new sorption sites in the soil column, and the solids present in the composition may have blocked pesticide passage, resulting in lower loss of alachlor due to leaching.
Two-year apprenticeships – a successful model of training?

Educational policy is asked to support young people in their successful transition from education to employment. In Switzerland, a two-year apprenticeship with Federal VET Certificate was established in 2002 aimed at increasing the employability of low-achieving school leavers. It is a low-threshold VET programme offering standardised vocational training to low-achieving youths. It leads to a VET Certificate, which is different from the Federal VET Diploma obtained after a three- or four-year apprenticeship. Data of two Swiss longitudinal studies including a sample of apprentices on a two-year training course with either a special needs (N = 28) or a regular school (N = 261) background at lower secondary, and a sample of graduates on a three-year training course (N = 118) are used to study the success of the two-year apprenticeship from a comparative perspective. The findings confirm that the new apprenticeship offers favourable learning opportunities that foster employability and upward mobility after graduation. However, the findings also indicate limitations of the two-year apprenticeship, such as the least successful learners can only profit from the new form of apprenticeship to a certain degree.
Contemporaneous Loan Stress and Termination Risk in the CMBS Pool: How 'Ruthless' is Default?

This study analyzes the impact of contemporaneous loan stress on the termination of loans in the commercial mortgage-backed securities pool from 1992 to 2004 using a novel measure, based on changes in net operating incomes and property values at the metropolitan statistical area-property-type-year level. Employing a semi-parametric competing risks model for a variety of specifications, we find that the probability of default is extremely low even at very high levels of stress, although the coefficient estimates of greatest interest are very statistically significant. These results suggest substantial lender forbearance and are consistent with previous research that models default as a “gradual dynamic process” rather than a “ruthless” exercise once “in the money. ”
The cooperative effect of load and disorder in thermally activated rupture of a two-dimensional random fuse network

A random fuse network, or equivalently a two-dimensional spring network with quenched disorder, is subjected to a constant load and thermal noise, and studied by means of numerical simulations. Rupture is thermally activated and the lifetime follows an Arrhenius law where the energy barrier is reduced by disorder. Due to the non-homogeneous distribution of forces from the stress concentration at microcrack tips, spatial correlations between rupture events appear, but they do not affect the energy barrier’s dependence on the disorder; they affect only the coupling between the disorder and the applied load.
Did a stellar fly-by shape the planetary system around Pr 0211 in the cluster M 44?

Out of the $\sim$ 3000 exoplanets detected so far, only fourteen planets are members of open clusters: among them an exoplanet system around Pr 0211 in the cluster M44 which consists of at least two planets with the outer planet moving on a highly eccentric orbit at 5.5 AU. One hypothesis is that a close fly-by of a neighbouring star was responsible for the eccentric orbit. We test this hypothesis. First we determine the type of fly-by that would lead to the observed parameters and then use this result to determine the history of such fly-bys in simulations of the early dynamics in an M44-like environment. We find that although very close fly-bys are required to obtain the observed properties of Pr 0211c, such fly-bys are relatively common due to the high stellar density and longevity of the cluster. Such close fly-bys are most frequent during the first 1-2 Myr after cluster formation, corresponding to a cluster age $\leq$ 3 Myr. During the first 2 to 3 Myr about 6.5% of stars actually experience a fly-by that would lead to such a small system-size as observed for Pr0211 or even smaller. It is unclear whether planets generally form on such short timescales. However, afterwards the close fly-by rate is still 0.2-0.5 Myr$^{-1}$, which means extrapolating this to the age of M44 12%-20% of stars would experience such close fly-bys over this timespan. Our simulations show that the fly-by scenario is a realistic option for the formation of eccentricity orbits of the planets in M44. The occurrence of such events is relatively high leading to the expectation that similar systems are likely common in open clusters in general.

Molecular Analysis of Genetically Improved Therapeutic Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Strains with High Selenium Uptake

This study was initiated to take advantages of mutagenesis in conjunction with protoplast fusion technique to obtain hyper- polyploidy strains with high selenium uptake. After UV-mutagenesis, results showed that five mutants uptake nearly all selenium present in growing medium and six mutants uptake 3.5 fold of selenium than the original strain. Moreover, selenium uptake of superior yeast mutants in the presence of selenium oxide (100 mg/L) showed that yeast cells tolerate high selenium concentration in the growing medium and uptake percentages ranging from 46.84 to 79.38. Intra-specific protoplast fusion technique was carried out in order to obtain polyploidy isolates with high selenium uptake. Data showed that 38 fusants obtained from cross 1 and 36 fusants from cross 2. In cross No.1, 71 % of fusants uptake more selenium than the first parent (mutant 5/8) and 97.4% than the second parent (mutant 5/9). For cross 2, 36.9 % of fusants uptake more selenium than the first parent (5/8) and 100 % than the second parent (20/1). Finally, an attempt was done to evaluate the genetic effect of UV-mutagenesis and protoplast fusion on nucleotide sequence by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Many differences were noticed in mutant and fusant strains in comparison the wild type strains. These differences in RAPD profiles confirmed the evidence of genetic variations in yeast genome after mutagenesis and protoplast fusion technique. Also, these differences could be used as genetic markers for genetic diversity of selenium uptake characteristics. (Journal of American Science. 2010;6(8):326-337). (ISSN: 1545-1003).

Regional Economic Integration and Tax Revenue : East African Community jei

The ultimate goal of regional integration is the long-term high economic growth for member states. Tax revenues are critical to achieving this objective, given the high dependence of developing countries on this fiscal revenue. However, empirical studies have been unable to determine whether regional integration improves or impedes the mobilization of taxes. We use data from 1980 to 2014 in order to estimate a tax model; the results based on the generalized method of moments technique reveal that East African regional integration has had a significant impact on tax revenue owing to the presence of good institutions. We advocate any policy agenda aimed at improving institutional environment, financial sector, macroeconomic stability, and manufacturing and trade, as well as a well-integrated approach to reduce a shadow economy. Finally, given the deleterious nature of capital account liberalization, we believe that cautiously designed capital control policies are likely to enhance tax collections in East Africa.
