Collaboration and Governance with Distributed Version Control

OSS projects are widely adopting distributed version control (DVC). The reasons for this shift and its effects on developer workflows and project organization are not well understood. However, there is no shortage of postings extolling the virtues or proclaiming the dangers of DVC. To shed light on this issue, we objectively examine the impact of using a DVC along three dimensions: Episodic Collaboration, Governance, and Continious Collaboration. We interviewed developers of major OSS projects that have switched to DVC, analyzed the version history of 60 projects that switched from CVC to DVC, and examined the effect of version control on the organizational structure of the Linux kernel and FreeBSD projects. We find that DVC substantially facilitates the release process and better insulates developer teams from the pain of dealing each other’s changes prematurely. So far, however, we have found little evidence that DVC adoption is changing the way projects govern themselves or the way developers discuss and work on early versions of code. The results of our investigation are pertinent to both researchers and projects or developers considering switching to a DVC system.
Study of the Causes of Mortality in Acute Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning

Aluminum phosphide (ALP) poisoning has aroused interest in the past three decades. The percentage of poisoning is low, but the mortality is high and no effective antidote available. The objective of this study was to find out predictors of mortality for patients with acute aluminium phosphide poisoning. All patients with acute aluminium phosphide poisoning admitted to Poisoning Control Center, Ain Shams University Hospital between the years 2015 to 2017 were prospectively studied and compared between survival and non survivor patients. Data collected include demographic data, clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, ECG and treatment offered to the patients. A total 31 patients were enrolled comprising 20 males and 11 females, 84% were suicide and mortality rate was 35%. Shock and cardiac arrhythmia were observed in 52% and39% respectively, while 26% presented with coma. Abnormal blood sugar and metabolic acidosis were found in 19% and 45% respectively. Fifty two percent of the patients needed inotropic therapy and 32% received N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Risk factors increasing mortality were found as shock, tachycardia, coma, metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, cardiac arrhythmia and the need for inotropic drug therapy. The study concluded that aluminum phosphide is a low-cost highly-toxic rodenticide. The circulatory collapse, metabolic acidosis and cardiac arrhythmia are the major causes of death. The role of NAC must be reassessed in larger scale. So, intensive observation in ICU and aggressive symptomatic management should be urgently taken into consideration.

Pathogenic bacteria isolated from Hemidactylus turcicus in Baghdad Province , Iraq

This study was conducted to identify zoonotic and pathogenic bacteria from gecko feces. A total of 95 fecal samples were collected from four locations in Baghdad province (AL-Hurriyah, Hay-Al-Khadhraa, AL-Jadriyah, Al-Zaa’faraniyah) from March 2015 to May 2016, 112 Bacterial isolates were revealed, the main were : E. coli spp. (35%), Staphylococcus (19%), Salmonella (9%), Klebsiella spp. (9%), Proteus (7.1%), Pseudomonas (6.2%), Serratia (5.3%), Yersinia (5.3%) and Shigella (4.4%). The highest frequency of bacterial infection was observed in samples collected from Al-Zaa’faraniyah (25%) followed by Hay-Al-Khadhraa (18.9%), AL-Jadriyah (17.8%) and AL-Hurriyah (15.7%). This study concluded that wall gecko feces harbour pathogenic bacteria of public health importance, which transmitted to human beings through the contamination of environment.
Intrapartum Ultrasonography for Detecting Fetal

Objective: To compare the accuracy of three ultrasound methods to estimate fetal weight within 48 hours before delivery, in order to recognize macrosomia, defined as birth weight greater than 4000 g. Methods: A prospective and ultrasonic study was performed on a sample of singleton pregnancies between 37 weeks and 41 weeks plus 6 days of gestation. Fetal weight was evaluated with Estimated Fetal Weight (EFW) formula, with the measurement of the Abdominal Circumference (AC) and with the assessment of the Abdominal Circumference corrected with the constant “c” (ACc). Results: 1030 patients with single pregnancy were included, 67.28% of them were primiparous, average Body Mass Index (BMI) at birth was 27.37 and macrosomia was found in 77 (8,08%) fetuses. EFW showed a sensitivity of 61.53%, a specificity of 90.72%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 27.58% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 97.46%, to recognize birth weight of more than 4000 g. AC greater than 375 mm presented a sensitivity of 53.24%, a specificity of 93.21%, a PPV of 41.41% and a NPV of 95.67%, to detect macrosomic fetuses. ACc greater than 375 mm showed a sensitivity of 66.23%, a specificity of 88.65%, a PPV of 34.35% and a NPV of 96.68%, to predict macrosomia. The mean absolute error when the neonatal weight was greater than 4000 g, with EFW was 9,23%, with AC were 11,02% and with ACc was 9,32%. Conclusions: In this study was shown that either EFW, or AC-only, or ACc are useful tools to detect fetal macrosomia. The measurement of AC and Acc seem to be the easiest methods to learn and to be used every time. During the first stage of labor, ultrasound scan associated to clinic evaluation, provides further elements to physician, to allow a better management of delivery. The finding of a NPV greater than 95% with the three methods, leads to exclude macrosomia with a good approximation, even in case of clinic hypothesis.
Assessment of a New System of Sediment Trap in the Investigation of Matter Sedimentation in a Reservoir — A Case Study

This paper presents results of the research on the effectiveness of entrapping sediment matter in newly designed sediment traps. Four traps, characterized by different geometrical and construction parameters, were analyzed. The assessment of the operation of the traps was made on the basis of research work conducted in situ in a small retention reservoir located in Blizne, south-east Poland during summer 2017 and 2018. Under environmental conditions present during the research, trap number 2 emerged as the most effective. It was characterized by a height to diameter ratio equal to 6.06, as well as innovative design thanks to the presence of a dual-chamber cylindrical vessel with a sedimentation funnel ending in a deflector. The proposed construction solution ensured optimal, stable operation of the trap. This trap is more effective in entrapping sediment matter than the simple tools described in the literature so far. In addition, it can be used not only in reservoirs, but also in seas and oceans. Such traps can be used to study the sedimentation rate in various water ecosystems, and also the entrapped sediment can be analysed in a qualitative manner to determine its role in the distribution of pollutants deposited in the sediments of aquatic ecosystems.
Allelopathic Assesments of Fi cus de l to idea Varieties and Ficus microcarp a

This study described allelopathic potential of two medicinal plant species; Ficus deltoidea varieties in comparison with Ficus microcarpa, by testing the leaf-litter through sandwich method and the leaf extracts through methanolic extraction method. These studies were carried out with three replications in Complete Randomized Design (CRD). The sandwich method was carried out by using 5 mg, 10 mg and 50 mg dry weight of the donor plants leaf. Among the eight donor plant tested, results showed that F. deltoidea var. kunstleri had the highest growth inhibition on lettuce radicle elongation (57.51%) as compared to control, followed by F. deltoidea var. trengganuensis (45.50%) and Ficus microcarpa (39.95%), respectively. Meanwhile, the methanolic extraction was done by using different concentrations of leaf extract (0.1 mg/mL , 1 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL). Ficus deltoidea var. kunstleri and var. trengganuensis that have the highest inhibition on lettuce growth in Sandwich method, were further selected to be tested by using methanolic bioassay method. Ficus deltoidea var. kunstleri and F. deltoidea var. trengganuensis were observed to have high inhibition on lettuce radicle elongation at 66.63% and 64.95%, respectively, at concentration 100 mg/mL.

DETERMINANTS OF THE EUROPEAN FUNDS ABSORPTION 2007-2013 IN EUROPEAN UNION MEMBER STATES

Our study investigates the determinants of the absorption performance of the European funds 2007-2013 among the 28 Member States, based on the rates of absorption available at the end of 2013. The average of absorption EU funds rate at the European Union is 60.11 percent at the end of 2013. We found the new EU member (Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria) have registered the lowest rates of European funds absorption. The estimation findings demonstrate that by and large the good public governance has a positive impact on the absorption of EU funds. We used the score of good public governance designed by World Governance Indicators (2013) as it is presented on the six dimensions of governance. Five of the six hypotheses regarding the impact of each of the six dimensions of governance on the performance of the absorption's rate are accepted. The governance’s variable that explains most of the variation in absorption rate of EU funds is Voice and Accountability (which explain 20.9 percent in total variance of absorption rate). It is followed by Good Rule of Law (which explain 17.91 percent in total variance), Control of Corruption (explaining 17.91 percent in total variance), Government effectiveness (with 12,64 percent explaining the total variance) and on the last place are situated Good Regulatory Quality (with 11.74 percent). Furthermore, our results reveal a positive but insignificant impact of financial growth (express by lnGDP) on the absorption of EU funds.

Phylogeny of the Mexican coastal leopard frogs of the Rana berlandieri group based on mtDNA sequences

Phylogenetic relationships among specimens from 25 different locations for the six Mexican coastal leopard frog species of the Rana berlandieri species group were investigated using 797 bp of the mitochondrial 12S rDNA gene. Relationships among the haplotypes obtained were recovered using maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses. Most of the clades recovered by both tree building methods are strongly supported, but conflicting clades recovered by each analysis are generally poorly supported. Both analyses reject the previously proposed subgroupings of the R. berlandieri species group. Based on the strongly supported relationships, genetic differentiation, and geographic distribution of the haplotypes examined, nine independent lineages appear to comprise the group of study. However, confirmation of the new proposed lineages will require further analyses based on other genetic markers and additional samples that cover their entire geographic distribution. Concordance was noted between Miocene– Pliocene geological and climatic events in Mexico and the relationships recovered among the lineages proposed and their geographic distribution. 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).

Innovation vs . imitation and the evolution of productivity distributions

We develop a tractable dynamic model of productivity growth and technology spillovers that is consistent with the emergence of real world empirical productivity distributions. Firms can improve productivity by engaging in in-house research and developmenmt (R&D) or, alternatively, by trying to imitate other firms’ technologies, subject to the limits of their absorptive capacities. The outcome of both strategies is stochastic. The choice between in-house R&D and imitation is endogenous, and is based on firms’ profit maximization motive. Firms closer to the technological frontier face fewer imitation opportunities, and choose inhouse R&D, while firms farther from the frontier try to imitate more productive technologies. The resulting balanced-growth equilibrium features persistent productivity differences even when starting from ex ante identical firms. The longrun productivity distribution can be described as a traveling wave with tails following a Pareto distribution as can be observed in the empirical data.
DAMAGE TOLERANCE IMPROVEMENT OF LASER BEAM WELDED FUSELAGE STRUCTURES VIA CRENELLATIONS

In this work the concept of the crenellation for improving the fatigue resistance of the fuselage skin by systematic thickness variations was examined under the service-related biaxial loading condition. Fatigue tests imitating the long-term cyclic load due to the repetitive fuselage pressurizations were carried out on both crenellated and flat panels with straight and kinked cracks. An unexpected high propagation rate of the kinked crack in the crenellated specimen was found, which reduced the fatigue life even compared to the uncrenellated specimens. FEM models validated by experiments were applied to understand the corresponding fatigue behavior. The observed high crack propagation rate was found correlated with the mode III load and a possible change in mode I crack closure behavior. The source of the mode III load was analyzed based on FEM simulation, which was found to be coupled with the biaxial loading condition.
Exploratory Analysis of Success Determinants of Web-based Negotiation Support Systems

The experimental negotiation support system INSPIRE has been used by over 2000 negotiators worldwide in experimental negotiations. In a survey conducted among those users, their reaction to that system and Internet-based negotiation support in general has been highly positive. This paper presents results of an exploratory study using an extension of the Technology Acceptance Model to identify factors that influence user’s perception of Internetbased negotiation support systems. Our results indicate that both individual factors and negotiation outcomes might be important factors influencing users’ attitudes toward such systems. * Acknowledgments.

Efficacy of Nano Particles from Chaetomium cochliodes to Control Pythium spp . causing Root Rot of Tangerine ( Citrus reticulata )

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) is one of the most popular fruit in Asia. The seriously disease of tangerine is found to be root rot which caused by Pythium spp. and proved for pathologenicity. The tested nano particles derived from Chaetomium cochliodes to control the Pythium spp. in vitro was evaluated. The result showed that the tested nano particles exhibited antifungal activities against mycelial growth and sporangia formation of Pythium spp. with effective doses (ED50) of 2.0~3.8 μg/mL and 1.2~3.7 μg/mL respectively. It is the first report of nano particles derived from Ch. cochliodes to control Pythium spp. causing root rot of Citrus reticulata.
MILD DROUGHT IN INTERACTION WITH ADDITIONAL NITROGEN DOSE AT GRAIN FILLING STAGE MODULATES 2-ACETYL-1-PYRROLINE BIOSYNTHESIS AND GRAIN YIELD IN FRAGRANT RICE

Field experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of varying levels of water and nitrogen at grain filling stage on 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) content, enzymes activities and grain yield of fragrant rice (Oryza sativa L.). Two fragrant rice cultivars i.e., ‘Basmati 385’ and ‘Nongxiang 18’, were grown under two water treatments i.e., W1: well-watered (water layer 4-6 cm) and W2: mild soil drought, (the soil water potential was ‒(25 ± 5 kPa)) from full heading stage to maturity during early and late season, 2014 at South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China. Two nitrogen levels i.e., N1: 15 kg hm and N2: 30 kg hm were applied at heading stage. Results showed that the W2 and N1 treatment improved 2-AP content in brown rice for both cultivars. Higher 2-AP content was observed in the W2N1 treatment in ‘Basmati 385’ (26.22 and 136.29 ng g) and ‘Nongxiang 18’ (23.47 and 66.48 ng g). Moreover, 2-AP content in brown rice showed positive correlation with proline dehydrogenase (PDH) activity whilst showed negative correlation with proline content in grains during both seasons. In addition, 2-AP content in brown rice showed significantly negative correlation with proline for early season, but significant and positive correlation with PDH activity in grains for late season. During early season, all treatments were found no statistically difference for grain yield of both rice cultivars, whereas the highest grain yield i.e., 7.39 and 8.07 t hm was obtained under W2N1 treatment in ‘Basmati 385’ and ‘Nongxiang 18’, respectively during late season. In conclusion, mild drought conditions in combination with the N application at 15 kg hm at grain filling stage could promote grain yield and 2AP content in brown rice.
1-1-1996 Modeling international tourism to Israel

This research is based on a survey conducted by the Israeli Ministry o f Tourism. Using econometric methods that allow inferences from the sample to a population that is not included in the sample, the following model was estimated. The model is based on two simultaneous decisions the decision to visit Israel and the decision on how much money to spend on the visit The estimates permit the computations to be made on the likelihood that a certain individual, from the general population, will choose to visit Israel. The main conclusion of this study is that the promotion of Israel in different maricet segments should emphasize different elements. For instance, tourists whose main interests are religious (pilgrimage), visit Israel in very high proportions. Therefore, it is important to find ways to increase their expenditures. Alternatively, among other groups of potential tourists, whose probability of visiting Israel is low, Israel’s attractiveness as a possible destination should be advertised.
The African Symposium: An online journal of the African Educational Research Network

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of some predicting factors (that is school climate, academic self-efficacy and peer bullying/ victimization) on the school connectedness among public secondary school students in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Two hundred and ninety six students were randomly selected. The independent and dependent variables were measured with relevant standardized instruments. The instruments used were school climate scale, academic self-efficacy scale and multidimensional peer victimization scale. Three research questions were answered in the study. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple regression statistical method. There was significant relationship between the three independent variables (school climate, academic selfefficacy and peer bullying/ victimization) on the student connectedness. Also, the independent variables significantly contributed to the prediction of school connectedness among the participants. On the strength of these findings, the need to enhance the school climate, fostering academic selfefficacy training and unrelenting campaign against bullying/victimization were stressed and advocated.
