Digging Into The Real-Life Enterprise Interoperability Areas Definition And Overview Of The Main Research Areas

Enterprise Interoperability is perceived as a capacity of two or more enterprises, including all the systems within their boundaries and the external systems that they utilize or are affected by, in order to cooperate seamlessly, in an automated manner, in depth of time for a common objective. The different layers of Interoperability define in high level the necessary stack for interoperable systems, however, their abstraction level hinders researchers and practitioners to really identify problems and provide solutions, as those levels do not only overlap in many cases, but they also hide important low level aspects that deal with technologies and methods that spanion level hinders researchers and practitioners to really identify problems and provide solutions, as those levels do not only overlap in many cases, but they also hide important low level aspects that deal with technologies and methods that span across all levels. In order to identify a proper structure for Enterprise Interoperability, which can at a second stage be mapped to the four fundamental layers adapted by the European Interoperability Framework, one has to focus on the real object of observation, which is the “Enterprise”, and by analysing it in its core components to identify the interoperability needs within them. Starting from those core ingredients of an Enterprise, and by analysing the current technological trends and the background knowledge of the domain the present papers presents the twelve main Scientific Themes of Enterprise Interoperability
The comparative safety and efficacy of S-1 versus the best supportive care in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma

The safety and efficacy of S-1 relative to the best supportive care (BSC) for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not yet been elucidated. We retrospectively recruited 46 cases of advanced HCC from December 2009 to December 2014. Twenty-five patients received S-1 treatment, and twenty-one patients received BSC. The primary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and the safety profiles of the two therapies. The median duration of follow-up was 12.3 months (range, 4-25 months). The median number of cycles administered in the S-1 group was 3.5 (range, 2-7 cycles). S-1 therapy was well tolerated. The most common grade 3-4 toxicities experienced in the S-1 group were leucopenia/neutropenia (16.0%), thrombocytopenia (12.0%), and an elevated serum aspartate aminotransferase level (12.0%). In the S-1 group, 2 patients (8.0%) had a partial response, 13 (52.0%) maintained stable disease, and 10 (40.0%) experienced disease progression. In the BSC group, 4 patients (19.0%) had stable disease, and 17 patients (81.0%) had progressive disease. The median PFS times of the S-1 and BSC group were 6.84 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.56-8.12 months) and 3.67 months (95% CI, 2.91-4.43 months), respectively (P=0.001). The median OS in the S-1 group was 14.56 months (95% CI, 12.70-16.42 months), which was significantly longer than that of 7.71 months (95% CI, 6.34-9.09 months) in the BSC group. S-1 was well tolerated in patients with advanced HCC. Patients who received S-1 therapy achieved better PFS and OS than those who received BSC. S-1 may be a promising therapeutic option for patients with advanced HCC.
Termination of Ca ¥ release during Ca ¥ sparks in rat ventricular myocytes

excitation—contraction (E—C) coupling is mediated by Ca¥ influx from the extracellular medium triggering Ca¥induced Ca¥ release (CICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) (Bers, 1991; Stern & Lakatta, 1992). In its simplest form, CICR should involve a positive feedback of released Ca¥ on further release, which should result in all-or-none regenerative release. In vivo , however, the Ca¥ release is tightly graded with the magnitude of the Ca¥ influx (Cannell, Berlin & Lederer, 1987; Beuckelmann & Wier, 1988). One suggested solution to this paradox is the existence of local subdomains in which the trigger and released Ca¥ are morphologically andÏor functionally segregated (Stern, 1992; Gyorke & Palade, 1993). Recently, the idea of local control of release has received direct experimental support from the discovery of Ca¥ sparks (Cheng, Lederer & Cannell, 1993; Lipp & Niggli, 1994). A Ca¥ spark is a spontaneous local increase in [Ca¥] (Chenget al. 1993) that appears to reflect activation of a regenerative cluster of Ca¥ release channels (Lipp & Niggli, 1996). A spark is well confined in space (<3 ìm) and time (<50 ms) and reaches a peak amplitude of 100—500 nÒ, depending on SR Ca¥ loading conditions (Cheng et al. 1993). Thus, to understand the graded nature of CICR we have to define the factors that are responsible for the early termination of Ca¥ release during a spark and factors that prevent Ca¥ released during these events from activating adjacent release sites.
of Smart Grid and Clean Energy Electrical / thermal performance of hybrid PV / T system in Sharjah , UAE

The paper proposes a design to improve the electrical efficiency of PV panels using Water Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) system. A prototype of a PV/T system is built and the electrical and thermal performances of the system are investigated under ambient temperature conditions in SHARJAH, UAE during April 2014. The system is composed of a polycrystalline PV panel with a solar thermal collector adhered to its backside. Experiments were performed with and without cooling process to observe the improvement in the PV panel efficiency. The results show that the electrical power output for the PV/T system increased by 15 to 20 % when compared to PV panel. The thermal efficiency of the system was calculated from measured data and obtained values close to 60%-70% were achieved.
Clinical relevance of PET/CT in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

OBJECTIVE Currently, the prognosis of standardized uptake value still has no consensus. We evaluated the role of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the MM lesions and the extramedullary disease (EMD) with the highest metabolic activity on PET/CT in predicting survival of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients. METHODS A total of 123 previously untreated, newly diagnosed patients were enrolled in this study, who were diagnosed at the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between September 2008 and February 2018. All patients with available PET/CT information at diagnosis were analyzed. RESULTS We found that no clinical characteristics were significantly different between the pathological fracture groups. However, laboratory findings including elevated creatinine and anemia at diagnosis corresponded to osteolytic lesions at baseline PET/CT (elevated creatinine, P = 0.024; anemia, P = 0.025). Compared to SUVmax < 5.7 group, the proportion of patients with EMD was significantly high in the SUVmax ≥ 5.7 group (P = 0.046). Multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazards model showed that age > 65, poor treatment response and EMD positive were independent poor prognostic factors for newly diagnosed MM patients. CONCLUSION We confirm the prognostic value of EMD, as detected by PET/CT, in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. Therefore, the presence of EMD in newly diagnosed MM tends to be more important than the SUVmax.
Some aspects of the reproductive biology of Labiobarbus ocellatus in Tulang Bawang River , Lampung , Indonesia

This study was conducted in April 2013 to March 2014 at Tulang Bawang River and Bawang Latak Swamp, Lampung, Indonesia. The aims of this study were to asses some reproductive aspects of L. ocellatus. The specimens were consisted of 690 males and 651 females. The results showed that sex ratio of L. ocellatus was 1:1 during the spawning period in October-January. This species was total spawner and they spawned annually in rainy season. The peak of breeding season was occured in November to December. The total length at first maturity of L. ocellatus are 157±1 mm (male) and 160 ±1 mm (female). The fecundity varied between 2.142-24.294 and had corellation with total length in equation as log F = 3,653 log L 4,546 (Tulang Bawang River) and log F = 3,982 log L 5,287 (Bawang Latak Swamp).
Eye-movements and Pupillary Changes during Simulated Driving.

Eye-movement and pupillary change have been used as behavioral indices in educational studies and behavioral analyses. Because they reflect the input of information, they can be used as indices of a person's cognitive load.The cognitive load during simulated driving was evaluated using eye-movement and pupillary changes. The measured changes in pupillary size indicate that the cognitive load increases what is coupled with a task. In addition, the saccade rate increased and the time spent gazing was less than in few task's cases.
The Evolution and Present State of Tree-Kills on Mammoth Mountain , California : Tracking Volcanogenic CO 2 and Its Lethal Effects

In May 1989, a small magnitude earthquake swarm hit the east-central region of the Sierra Nevada in the state of California. The swarm was located beneath the Pleistocene-aged Mammoth Mountain a rhyodacitic stratovolcano located on the southwestern rim of the much larger, 760,000 year-old Long Valley caldera (see Figure 1). Early earthquakes of the swarm were probably due to magmatic dike intrusion at depth (Hill et al., 1990) and recent relocations by Prejean (2001) indicate magma movement from initial depths of 7-9 km to within approximately 1 km of the mountain’s surface over that six month time period. The following spring (1990), an unusually heavy loss of needles was observed at several places on Mammoth Mt. by U.S. Forest Service personnel (Farrar et al., 1995), especially surrounding the popular recreation area of Horseshoe Lake. Approximately 4 ha of trees were dead at this lake alone, affecting all species of trees and other forest vegetation. Their deaths were initially attributed to the Sierran drought of the 1980’s. In 1994 however, soil gas measurements made by the USGS confirmed that the kills were likely due to asphyxiation of the vegetation via the presence of 30-96% CO2 in the ground around the volcano (Farrar, 1995). Current flux estimates for the entire mountain are approximately 300-500 tons/day, while flux at the Horseshoe Lake tree-kill is 93 + 22 tons/day (Rogie, 2001). Background concentrations of CO2 in this region are approximately 360 ppm, however concentrations in tree-kill zones can be upwards of 10,000-100,000 ppm early in the day (Rogie, pers. comm., March 2000). Many areas of CO2induced kills are now identified on Mammoth (Figure 2). Traditional mapping of CO2 discharge zones on Mammoth Mt. is done on-foot with portable accumulation chamber instruments and GPS. The remote sensing techniques described in this study are accomplished remotely, making the spatial and temporal mapping of volcanogenic-assisted forest deaths easier and quick to do. Such mapping is vital for geological, forest, ski, and city personnel in charge of determining areas and level of hazard at Mammoth Mt. Mapping of tree-kill zones with aerial photography and hyperspectral imagery was done previously (Hausback et al., 1998; Sorey et al., 1998; de Jong, 1998; Martini et al., 2000), however this study presents the kills through time. It also attempts to utilize the superior calibration and fine spectral sampling of Advanced Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) to identify and map the characteristic spectral absorptions of CO2 gas within the near-infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (2.00-kills on Mammoth, their growth through time, and initial attempts at detection and mapping of anomalous CO2 in the atmospheric column above Mammoth Mt. A compilation of aerial photo, HyMap data, and AVIRIS data are used in this endeavor.
The Effect of Noticing through Extensive Reading on Iranian EFL Learners ’ Proper Use of Relative Clauses in Writing

 The current study was an attempt to investigate the effect of noticing through extensive reading on Iranian EFL learners proper use of relative clauses in writing. To perform this, 60 intermediate EFL learners were selected from Bahar Institute in Sari, Iran based on convenience sampling. Then, the two intact classes were randomly assigned to one experimental and one control group. For the purpose of the study, the experiment was conducted during one semester in 10 sessions. During the study, one short story book titled "Reading and Writing" was employed. The pretest and the posttest in this research were the same including the writing task. The same tests (identical to the pretest with a different topic) were used in two occasions before and after the treatment. At the first session, a writing test was administered to both groups to evaluate their writing ability before the treatment. During the treatment, each session, both groups were asked to read the short story which included relative clauses. In the experimental group, the learners were also required to circle the relative clauses and mention the reason they had been used. In the control group, the learners read the same story without noticing the relative clauses. After the end of the treatment, another writing test was employed as posttest to compare the performance of the groups after the treatment. As the statistical analyses revealed, noticing through extensive reading can significantly affect the learners proper use of relative clauses in writing. The results of this study point to a probability that noticing through extensive reading can have a positive effect on Iranian EFL learners proper use of relative clauses in writing. The teachers and syllabus designers can consider this method in their tasks.
Three Essays on Moral Self-Regulation of Honesty and Impression Management

To find evidence for the existence of moral licensing or moral cleansing in the domain of truth-telling and lying I constructed an experiment that brings together moral self-regulation and Gneezy's (2005) deception game. Participants’ moral balances were manipulated by two tasks that either increased or decreased moral credentials as well as moral credits. Afterwards participants engaged in a deception game. With this approach I quantify how changes in the moral balance affect truth-telling and lying. Compared to a baseline treatment where credentials and credits remained unchanged, I find no significant differences in truth-telling and lying. These experimental results suggest that same domain moral self-regulation does not exists within the domain of honesty.
POLLINATION BIOLOGY AND SPATIO-TEMPORAL STRUCTURING OF SOME MAJOR ACACIA SPECIES ( LEGUMINOSAE ) OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA

Acacias are the dominant woody plant species distributed over the vast tracts of land throughout the Arabian Peninsula. However, information on spatio-temporal structuring and pollination biology of the species is not precisely available. To determine whether any variations exist among the Acacia species in their temporal distribution, their flowering period was determined through monitoring the commencing, peaking and ending of flowering of each species. Moreover, if any variations exist in release of floral rewards among the different co-existing and co-flowering species as mechanisms of partitioning of pollinators, to minimize competition for pollination, the progress of their anthesis over time was recorded by scoring polyads to anthers ratio at different hours of a day. In addition, the amount and dynamics of nectar sugar per inflorescence (N =225/species) was determined following flower nectar sugar washing technique. Types and frequencies of flower visitors and their preferences were determined by recording the visitors 6 times a day. The current study revealed that the Acacia species of the Arabian Peninsula are spatio-temporally structured: some species co-exist yet have different flowering seasons, whereas others co-exist, flowering concurrently yet exhibit a shift in their time of peak flowering and in the time at which the peak pollen is released during the day. This study demonstrates that all Acacia species examined secrete a considerable amount of nectar (2.24±1.72 -10.02±4.0mg/inflorescence) which serves as a floral reward for pollinators. Insects of the Order Hymenoptera are the most prevalent visitors to Acacia species in the region. The variations in spatio-temporal structuring of the Acacia species could be due to their adaptation of reducing competition for pollinators and minimizing hetero-specific pollen transfer.
Combined Effects of Temperature and Algal Concentration on Filtration and Ingestion Rates of Crassostrea gigas : Bivalvia

The effect of varying algal cell concentration, food items and temperature on the filtration and ingestion rates of the eyed larva of Crassostrea gigas were investigated under laboratory condition. The filtration and ingestion rates were measured according to the indirect method in which the flow of water into the passage cavity is inferred from the rate of removal of suspended particles. Cultures of the unicellular alga Isochrysis galbana and Pavlovia lutheri were used in the test solutions. Three different concentrations of the two algal species (100,50 and 25 cells/μl) and three temperature degrees (25 oc, 20 oc and 13 oc) were used to study the effect of these factors at different time intervals from starting the experiments (1, 6 and 12 days) on the filtration and ingestion rates of the eyed – larvae. The filtration and ingestion rates of the larvae of C.gigas that recorded by using I. galbana were large than that of P. lutheri. These results might depend on the size of the filtered particles. Moreover, the larvae of C. gigas regulate filtration rates according to the particle concentration in the surrounding medium, filtration was more actively in lower concentrations (25 x 10 6 LI . galbana ) than at the higher ones (100 x 10 6 LI galbana). The mean value of filtration and ingestion rates of C.gigas were significantly increased by the increase in temperature degree and 25oc were considerable the perfect temperature to achieve high values of both filtration and ingestion rates if it is compared by 20 oc and 13 oc . These results help to explain the feeding behavior of C.gigas. [Mona,M. H. , Elkhodary, G.M. and Khalil, A.M Combined Effects of Temperature and Algal Concentration on Filtration and Ingestion Rates of Crassostrea gigas: Bivalvia] Life Science Journal, 2011; 8(4):805-813] (ISSN: 1097-8135). http://www.lifesciencesite. com.
Patients ’ Perceptions and Concerns About Orthodontic Treatment

Improvement in dental and facial aesthetics has always been an important goal of orthodontic treatment. This not only enhances the general well being of the patients but is also helpful in improving self-confidence and social success. Apart from this, orthodontic treatment also helps resolve a number of problems caused by protruding, irregular or maloccluded teeth such as difficulties in jaw movements, greater susceptibility to trauma, periodontal disease or tooth decay, etc. This study was undertaken to determine patients’ motives for seeking orthodontic treatment, as the source of motivation is the most crucial factor in determining and predicting patients’ satisfaction with treatment, and also to evaluate the patients’ perceptions of problems encountered during treatment and expectations from orthodontic treatment. The sample consisted of 100 subjects (48 male and 52 female participants) aged 15 to 30 years, who were undergoing orthodontic treatment and were selected randomly from the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Mahatma Gandhi Dental College & Hospital, Jaipur. Chi-square statistical analysis was performed to determine the comparison of proportions. Our study concluded that a desire to improve the overall facial appearance was the prime motivating factor, followed by a desire to attain straightened teeth. This study also suggested that the main reason for not seeking orthodontic treatment is the prolonged duration of treatment. Therefore, in order to prevent losing patients' motivation, they should be well informed about the treatment duration before initiating it.

THE FOOT AS THE DOMAIN OF TONAL ALIGNMENT OF INTONATIONAL PITCH ACCENTS

This paper presents evidence from an experimental investigation of the alignment properties of prenuclear rising pitch accents in Egyptian Arabic, across different syllable types (CV, CVV and CVC). In both CVC and CVV syllables, the H peak is aligned within the second mora of the syllable, but in CV syllables the H peak appears in the following (light) syllable. We argue that these generalizations support adoption of the (metrical) foot as the domain of tonal alignment of intonational pitch accents in Egyptian Arabic, and discuss this finding in the context of current debate regarding tonal alignment in intonation languages.
An iterative method for the identification of nonlinear systems using a Uryson model

A new model for identifying nonlinear systems is presented. The multipath structure with each path consisting of a polynomial followed by linear dynamics is a direct extension of the single path Hammerstein model. An iterative algorithm for obtaining the dynamics from finite length input and noisy output data records is presented and shown to converge for a class of inputs including colored Gaussian processes. Computer simulations demonstrate the feasibility of the model and algorithm.
