Large time asymptotic behavior of grain boundaries motion with dynamic lattice misorientations and with triple junctions drag

Many technologically useful materials are polycrystals composed of a myriad of small monocrystalline grains separated by grain boundaries. Dynamics of grain boundaries play an essential role in defining the materials properties across multiple scales. In this work, we study the large time asymptotic behavior of the model for the motion of grain boundaries with the dynamic lattice misorientations and the triple junctions drag.
Irregular changes in Hα emission line of V423 Aur observed by LAMOST Medium-Resolution Spectrographs

We obtained 7 spectra of the Be star V423 Aur on Dec. 5th, 2017 using the LAMOST Medium-Resolution Spectrograph with exposures from 600 to 1200 seconds. These spectra show the irregular H{\alpha} emission line profile variations (LPVs). In the seven spectra, from the 4th to 7th, the left part of H{\alpha} profile even show excess. However, no variation can be seen from the follow-up observation of photometry by 1.26-m telescope and High-Resolution spectra by 2.16-m telescope. According to the High-Resolution spectra, we conclude that it is a B7V type star with E(B-V)= 0.709{\pm}0.036 and its vsini is {\sim} 221.8km/s. The short-term H{\alpha} LPVs could be explained as a result of the transient ejection of matter from rotating disk or shell around V423 Aur.
VIEWPOINT OF MEN PARTICIPATING IN A FAMILY PLANNING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM REGARDING ITS NECESSITY AND QUALITY: A STEP TOWARDS INVOLVEMENT OF MEN IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROGRAMS

Background: Men’s involvement in reproductive health programs is one of the most important principles in reproductive health and the important goals of reproductive health will not be achieved without their involvement. This study aimed to evaluate the viewpoints of men participating in a family planning educational program in this regard. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 104 men referring to Fayaz Bakhsh health center, Gonabad, Iran to participate in premarital counseling. The subjects were selected through convenience sampling. They were required to complete a questionnaire evaluating their viewpoints about family planning and the training session. Then, the data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software, version 19. Results: Most of the participants (46.6%) referred to necessity of family planning programs and 65.5% of them believed that they had much information about family planning. The sources of information about family planning were books and CDs in 53% of the samples. Moreover, 48.1% of the participants mentioned the high quality of the training session and 69% of them reported that this session was highly effective in increasing their information about family planning. Furthermore, 59% of the subjects believed that this session would impro ve their relationships with their spouses and 64%of them indicated that the contents of this session were moderately applicable for beginning of marital life. Conclusion: According to the findings, the majority of the men declared the effectiveness of this session in increasing their information about family planning as well as their need for more sessions and privet counseling. Thus, health centers are recommended to increase the number of training sessions and also prepare a suitable place for privet fami ly planning counseling.
Dynamical Relics of the Ancient Galactic Halo

We search for dynamical substructures in the LAMOST DR3 very metal-poor (VMP) star catalog. After cross-matching with Gaia DR2, there are ∼3300 VMP stars with available high-quality astrometric information that have halo-like kinematics. We apply a method based on the self-organizing map StarGO to find groups clustered in the 4D space of orbital energy and angular momentum. We identify 57 dynamically tagged groups (DTGs), which we label DTG-1 to DTG-57. Most of them belong to existing massive substructures in the nearby halo, such as the Gaia Sausage or Sequoia. The stream identified by Helmi et al. is recovered, but the two disjointed portions of the substructure appear to have distinct dynamical properties. The very retrograde substructure Rg5 found previously by Myeong et al. is also retrieved. We report six new DTGs with highly retrograde orbits, two with very prograde orbits, and 12 with polar orbits. By mapping other data sets (APOGEE halo stars, and catalogs of r-process-enhanced and carbon-enhanced metal-poor [CEMP] stars) onto the trained neuron map, we can associate stars with detailed chemical abundances with the DTGs and look for associations with chemically peculiar stars. The highly eccentric Gaia Sausage groups contain representatives of both debris from the satellite itself (which is α-poor) and the Splashed Disk, sent up into eccentric halo orbits from the encounter (and which is α-rich). The new prograde substructures also appear to be associated with the Splashed Disk. The DTGs belonging to the Gaia Sausage host two relatively metal-rich r-II stars and six CEMP stars in different subclasses, consistent with the idea that the Gaia Sausage progenitor is a massive dwarf galaxy. Rg5 is dynamically associated with two highly r-process-enhanced stars with [Fe/H] ∼ −3. This finding indicates that its progenitor might be an ultrafaint dwarf galaxy that has experienced r-process enrichment from neutron star mergers.
PLATO: Pre-trained Dialogue Generation Model with Discrete Latent Variable

Pre-training models have been proved effective for a wide range of natural language processing tasks. Inspired by this, we propose a novel dialogue generation pre-training framework to support various kinds of conversations, including chit-chat, knowledge grounded dialogues, and conversational question answering. In this framework, we adopt flexible attention mechanisms to fully leverage the bi-directional context and the uni-directional characteristic of language generation. We also introduce discrete latent variables to tackle the inherent one-to-many mapping problem in response generation. Two reciprocal tasks of response generation and latent act recognition are designed and carried out simultaneously within a shared network. Comprehensive experiments on three publicly available datasets verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed framework.
Robot mediated therapy: Attitudes of patients and therapists towards the first prototype of the GENTLE/s system

Residual deficits in upper extremity function post stroke occur more frequently than deficits in lower extremity function and are considered a challenge to therapists involved in rehabilitation and distressing to patients. In the literature there is little evidence to suggest the superiority of any one existing physical therapy method over another and little evidence as to what elements of the "black box" of interventions result in better outcomes. One emerging trend is that interventions involving repetitive task-oriented movements show positive treatment effects. The progression of the use of robotics from assistants in activities of daily living to the use of robots as therapy aides may facilitate the delivery of such forms of intervention, as well as producing more sensitive and objective measures of treatment effect and recovery. This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of patients and therapists to the first prototype of the GENTLE/s Robot Mediated Therapy (RMT) system. Results show overall positive attitudinal dispositions to the prototype and to the use of RMT as an intervention post stroke. The differing opinions of therapists and patients to some elements of the intervention highlight the need for user input in the development of therapeutic interventions to include both stakeholders. Full clinical trials to investigate the therapeutic benefits of RMT commenced in October 2001 and are ongoing.
Near-infrared monitoring of the accretion outburst in the massive young stellar object S255-NIRS3

We followed up the massive young stellar object S255-NIRS3 (= S255-IRS1b) during its recent accretion outburst event in the $K_{\rm s}$ band with Kanata/HONIR for four years after its burst and obtained a long-term light curve. This is the most complete near-infrared light curve of the S255-NIRS3 burst event that has ever been presented. The light curve showed a steep increase reaching a peak flux that was 3.4 mag brighter than the quiescent phase and then a relatively moderate year-scale fading until the last observation, similar to that of the accretion burst events such as EXors found in lower-mass young stellar objects. The behavior of the $K_{\rm s}$-band light curve is similar to that observed in 6.7 GHz class II methanol maser emission, with a sudden increase followed by moderate year-scale fading. However, the maser emission peaks appear 30–50 d earlier than that of the $K_{\rm s}$ band emission. The similarities confirmed that the origins of the maser emission and the $K_{\rm s}$-band continuum emission are common, as previously shown from other infrared and radio observations by Stecklum et al. (2016, Astronomer’s Telegram, 8732), Caratti o Garatti et al. (2017b, Nature Phys., 13, 276), and Moscadelli et al. (2017, A&A, 600, L8). However, the differences in energy transfer paths, such as the exciting/emitting/scattering structures, may cause the delay in the flux-peak dates.
Fiber sum formulae for the Casson–Seiberg–Witten invariant of integral homology $S^1 \times S^3$

We prove the additivity of the Casson-Seiberg-Witten invariant of integral homology $S^1 \times S^3$ under fiber sum along embedded curves and embedded tori, which is the $4$-dimensional analogue of the additivity of the Casson invariant under connected-sum and splicing along knots.

Statistical analysis: Chi-square (÷²) test of significance Result: Overall prevalence of PEM was 56.4% in study population, with higher prevalence in female (58.6%) as compared to males (54.2%). Significant relationship was seen between PEM and sex, social class, caste, literacy status of parents and mother.
15. Meeting challenges in the delivery of surgical care

Canadian surgeons are faced with looming demographic challenges. Shortages in surgical manpower cannot be addressed expediently due to 14-year university requirements. A potential solution is to increase the efficiency of surgeons already in practice. Physician assistants (PA’s), may play a role in this regard by allowing surgeons to concentrate on their core competency, namely operating. The purposes of this investigation are to explore the inefficiencies in a current Canadian surgeon’s practice, examine the feasibility of PA employment and evaluate the financial impacts. The study was performed in 3 parts. In part 1, operating room plastic surgery Surgiserver® data for 10 years leading up to 2005 were analyzed to determine daily operating time actually used. In part 2, 4 months of detailed time series data were captured prospectively for every patient care event. The data was analyzed using SPSS (ver. 11.5) to determine the percentage and types of events that could be delegated to a PA. In part 3, PA hiring scenarios were developed using formal business case analyses. Over 3,635 days, mean operating time used in a 10-hour surgical day was 5.93 hours. Of the 806 patients seen in 13 clinics, 53.5% could have been cared for by a PA. In the minor procedure area, 48.8 % of surgical time was spent performing non-essential, PA compatible work. In the main OR, 25.9% of surgical time was PA compatible. Considering the weekly mix of activities, a PA could increase surgical productivity by 36.7%. Hiring a PA was neutrally cost effective at the 37% productivity increase level. However, much greater discounted incremental cash flows, internal rates of return (IRR) and return on investments (ROI) were achieved when PA hiring allowed one surgeon to run 2 OR’s simultaneously. Employing PA’s, in conjunction with increasing OR capacity, have the potential to markedly increase the capability of surgeons to deal with lengthy wait lists in a cost effective manner. McKibbin RC.

The effect of age on isokinetic concentric and eccentric moment of knee extensors

The aim of the present study was to examine the concentric and eccentric isokinetic moment of knee extensors in 108 boys aged 6 to 12 years and in 15 young adults. Participants performed isokinetic concentric and eccentric knee extensions at different angular velocities, 45°, 90° and 180°. s -1 . The Ancova designs, using lean mass as covariate, revealed a significant age effect. Post hoc Scheffe test revealed higher moment scores for adults compared to children. Statistical differences between children were observed every two years. Eccentric moments were higher than concentric moments at corresponding velocities. Concentric moments decreased with increasing velocity whereas eccentric moments did not change significantly. Boys were found to achieve almost 40% of the concentric and eccentric moment of young adults at the age of 12 years. The higher annual increase of both concentric and eccentric moment was observed at 7 years of age. The present data indicate a gradual and concurrent increase of isokinetic concentric and eccentric moment with age from 6 to 12 years of age suggesting probably a concurrent maturation of contractile and elastic components of the muscle during childhood.
Monetary News, Surprises and the Macroeconomy

In this paper we investigate the effects of anticipated and unanticipated monetary policy shocks. We bring forward empirical evidence that news are a relevant channel of the monetary transmission mechanism accounting in between 25 and 50% of the overall policy effects. Consistently with the theory, a monetary tightening generates humped-shaped responses of GDP, consumption and investment and a fall in prices. Interestingly, aggregate variables adjust even before the announced policy shift actually happens. Accordingly, we testify anticipated feedback effects on the interest rate, via the policy rule. Our results are robust to alternative proxies for market expectations, to different Cholesky ordering and to alternative identification strategies, relying on sing rather than zero restrictions.

Fedoryszak-Kuśka Could membrane lipids influence the receptor tyrosine kinase activity ? Epidermal growth factor receptor and its interactions with gangliosides * *

Cell membrane is a complex structure. Recently great attention is devoted to specialized membrane fragments responsible for compartmentalization of cellular processes called lipid rafts. Lipid rafts are made of a combination of cholesterol, sphingolipids, including glycosphingolipids, and proteins among them a number of receptors. The glycosphingolipids, especially gangliosides, have been proven to play crucial roles in the regulation of biological functions of raft localized proteins under both physiological and pathological conditions. Gangliosides modulate activity of protein receptors activated by fibroblast growth factor (FGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), nerve growth factor (NGF), insulin, and epidermal growth factor (EGF). One of the most interesting mechanism of regulation of receptor activity by gangliosides has been shown for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR activity is dependent on ganglioside composition in its vicinity. Thus GM1 or GD1a gangliosides enhance EGFR activity while GM3 is a well-known EGFR inhibitor. Probably the different ways by which gangliosides influence the EGFR activity is associated with specific structures of both the ganglioside molecule and EGFR. Numerous studies proved direct interaction between these two types of molecules. This interaction could possibly prove to be crucial in the treatment of invasive cancers.
Leadership case studies in education

Leadership Case Studies in Education (2nd ed.) by Northouse and Lee (2019), the companion book to Northouse’s (2019) Leadership: Theory and Practice (8th ed.) is framed around the understanding that as educators, we are all leaders. This perspective is clearly articulated in the introductory paragraph: “By the very nature of what educators choose to do –facilitate the teaching of others– they are leaders” (Northouse & Lee, 2019, p. 1). A variety of leadership approaches are presented in the book providing a comprehensive overview of current leadership trends. Models and frameworks relevant to different leadership approaches are presented with supporting research and referencing. According to the authors, the purpose of the book is to “examine how leadership theories can be applied specifically to educational settings” (p. 2). Northouse and Lee (2019) aim to relate leadership theories to everyday leadership practice, thereby connecting the scholar and practitioner conceptualizations of educational leadership. A unique view of leadership is presented that highlights the significance of leaders’ personal experiences, belief systems, and cultural backgrounds. Values associated with leadership practices, primarily centered around leadership influence and common goals, are also addressed. The chapters are organized around three main themes: (1) the leader’s personal traits and competencies; (2) relationship building, trust, empowering, and influencing followers, and (3) leadership practices pertaining to current trends regarding internal school tensions and contextual influences.
Iranian EFL Learners’ Perceived Writing Anxiety and the Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency of their Task-based Writing: Are they Correlated?

This paper reports on a research which was conducted to examine the association between English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ ratings of their writing anxiety and the quality of their task-based written production in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency. To this aim, 45 Iranian high-intermediate EFL learners were asked to complete the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) (Cheng, 2004) in order to rate their perceived level of anxiety while writing in English. In addition, to elicit samples of their written production, they were required to perform the narrative task of writing down a story based on a sequenced set of picture prompts. Having collected the data, Pearson correlation coefficient was run to establish the statistical significance of the correlations among the variables. The results displayed that participants’ perceived level of second language (L2) writing anxiety is negatively associated with the complexity, accuracy, and fluency of their task-based written output. The significance and implications of the outcomes are discussed in the light of relevant theoretical rationale and empirical evidence.
The Choice of the Medium of Exchange in Acquisitions : A Direct Test of the Double-Sided Asymmetric Information Hypothesis 1

In this paper, we conduct a direct test of the double-sided asymmetric information hypothesis regarding the choice of the medium of exchange in acquisitions. Theoretical analyses (e.g., Hansen (1987) and Fishman (1989)) have argued that, in a setting of double-sided information asymmetry (where both acquirer and target have private information about their own value), acquirers are more likely to choose a stock acquisition as the degree of overvaluation of their equity is greater; conversely, the likelihood of making a cash offer increases with the magnitude of their undervaluation. On the target side, the above theoretical models have opposing predictions regarding the extent of information asymmetry about the target and the likelihood of observing a stock versus a cash offer. Our findings suggest that acquirers that choose stock as a medium of exchange are overvalued and that acquirers that choose cash are either undervalued or correctly valued. We also find that these valuation errors influence acquirers’ choice between cash and stock and are significant determinants of the announcement effect. On the target side, we find that the greater the extent of informational asymmetry about the target firm in the equity market, the greater the likelihood that acquirers use cash as a medium of exchange.
Occupational risk factors for lung cancer: A population-based case-control study in British Columbia

Occupational carcinogens have been linked to lung cancer: among 74 known occupational carcinogens and carcinogenic circumstances, 37 have been associated with lung cancer. We report on a large population-based case-control study in British Columbia (2998 lung cancer cases). In the absence of a non-cancer control group, patients with cancers other than lung cancer (11,737) served as controls. Logistic regression, adjusted for smoking history, was used to examine occupationally related lung cancer risk with histological subtypes. Elevated risk was found in several occupational circumstances: metal working, mining, deck crew of ship, bakers, workers in electric power systems, construction workers (all histological types), chefs and cooks (large cell carcinoma only), and medical workers (large cell carcinoma only). Odd ratios varied from 1.6 to 4.6, with most being around 2.0. Potential exposures found in these high risk occupational groups which warrant further evaluation include: formaldehyde, radiation, electromagnetic fields, wood dust, and cooking fumes.
