Queueing Analysis of Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing withp g Individual Source Buffering

An analysis of Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing is presented. Packets of information arrive at the system as a compound Poisson process, and can be transmitted only during individual periodic intervals. Packet arrivals may be blocked (Lost) if the system has a finite capacity and is congested. Using the theory of semi-regenerative processes, the distribution of the number of packets in the system (system size) is found. This nonstationary distribution is used to determine the complete system behavior, including the delay distributions, the blocking probability, and the density of the system size at arrival instants. Numerical examples illustrate applications of the results given. 3 M̂ 7^,af.1(II.vN . Spacecraft data is collected by means of a variety of sensors which typically operate simultaneously. The data from the various sensors must be funneled through a common telemetry channt . The current method of combining the data is by Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing (STDM). This paper represents the initial phase of research in the study of Deep Space packet telemetry techniques [1]. This study, which is part of the NEEDS (NASA End-to-End Data System) program, will identify and compare various strategies for managing, packetizing and multiplexing spacecraft data. The baseline technique defined in [1] is STDM. A unified approach to analyze the performance of STDM is given hereiai. Using this approach, several new results are obtained for a large class of arrival streams, particularly for the finite buffer capacity case. The design engineer may use these results to completely predict system behavior, including channel utilization, probability of data loss due to buffer overflow, and queueing delay, . By varying the design parameters of the model, the appropriate channel allocation and buffer sizing can be determined such that the performance will meet the prescribed criteria for each source. In addition, sensitivity analyses can be done by exploiting the generality of the arrival process model. In STDM, each source is assigned a fixed sequence of time intervals during which it may transmit information. The assignment is predetermined and does not adapt to fluctuations in the traffic load. In the definition of STDM in this study, a structure is imposed on the time intervals assigned 4
The role of subclinical psychopathic traits on experimentally induced self- and other-compassion

Psychopathic traits come with high levels of anger and aggression. Since previous studies showed that compassion can mitigate both anger and aggression, the current research puts compassion forward as a possible target to alleviate psychopathy’s destructive patterns. Specifically, the present study explored the influence of subclinical psychopathic traits–as well as their three subcomponents egocentricity, callousness, and antisociality–on the efficacy of experimentally induced self-compassion (SC) and other-compassion (OC). This manuscript is part of a larger study in which student and community participants (N = 230, Mage = 27.41, 65.2% female) completed a psychopathic trait questionnaire to assess their dimensional level of psychopathy, filled out state SC and OC questionnaires, and were randomized to participate in an experimental self- or other-compassion induction. It was expected that psychopathic traits would positively relate to increases in SC but negatively relate to increases in OC. Baseline levels of both SC and OC negatively related to psychopathy. Overall, as expected, the results on change scores show that subclinical psychopathic traits positively related to a stronger increase in SC, irrespective of the type of compassion induction. This positive relation between a stronger increase in SC and psychopathy total and callousness was more pronounced after the SC induction, rather than after the OC induction. Psychopathic traits did not differentially influence changes in OC. One implication of this study is that high psychopathic and callousness traits predispose to profit extra from targeting SC. Furthermore, psychopathic traits do not hinder increasing compassion for others. These findings suggest that compassion is a promising intervention to improve the wellbeing of people with elevated subclinical psychopathic traits and those around them. Although further research is needed to assess the impact of compassion on anger and aggression specifically, and on clinical psychopathy, the current study suggests that both SC and OC may be useful intervention targets in case of elevated psychopathic traits.
Income under reporting and tax evasion in Italy Estimates and distributive effects Gennaio 2018

The paper estimates the extent of evasion of personal income tax (PIT) in Italy by integrating two methods that the literature has previously applied separately. The consumption-based method introduced by Pissarides and Weber (1989) is used to estimate underreporting of income in micro data collected in the household IT-SILC survey. We adopt an econometric specification close in spirit to that of Feldman and Slemrod (2007), which allows us to estimate income underreporting at different rates for different income sources. The underreporting estimates are then used in the discrepancy method to correct the incomes declared by the households in the survey and to compare them with administrative data. The comparison provides new estimates of evasion of personal income tax by type of income, region and income class. The estimates are used to improve microsimulation analyses of the distribution impact of tax evasion.

ESSENTIALISM IN PHILOSOPHY, PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATION, SOCIAL AND SCIENTIFIC SCOPES

Essentialism is an approach assuming that people and things have natural and essential common characteristics which are inherent, innate and unchanging. Thus, it is regarded as an educational philosophy. However, having the common essence and the same essentials at the same levels can lead to undesired practices in real life too. Even nouns and pronouns used in daily communication reflect some connotations of a philosophy as a system of beliefs about reality based on how we perceive ourselves and others in terms of our existence. How we address ourselves and others also represents our point of view related to the relationship and interaction between us and others. Essentialism as a philosophy has impact on our differentiation or unification ways while addressing. In this sense, the pronoun we represents a kind of unification while the pronoun you refers to a kind of discrimination or differentiation, which can be referred as a kind of taxonomy used in communication. This paper seeks to present how essentialism is used as the basis of our daily communication and its role in our discriminating and unifying efforts in social, cultural and scientific domains. Essentialism in education asserts that common and essential ideas and skills belonging to a certain culture should be taught to all citizens at the same level at especially primary school level. To do this, the teacher’s authority in the classroom is emphasised and the subject matter is the centre of the curriculum. The essence or the centre of education is the core curriculum which is a combination of hard work and rigorous effort. The unification role of essentialism is represented in the core curriculum that aims to transfer the essential knowledge and skills needed for the equal and wellbalanced citizens. The discrimination function of essentialism comes out in politics, natural sciences in the form of taxonomy.
Slurry injection to optimize nutrient use efficiency in maize : Regional performance of manure based fertilizer strategies

Maize (Zea mays L.), the dominating crop in northwestern Germany usually receives mineral nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) fertilizer side dressed (MSD) at planting as a starter to ensure proper early-growth development, on top on a usually nutrient demand covering manure application. Recently developed injection techniques, along with auto-guidance systems allow liquid manure injection below the maize seeds in a separate operation. Thus, the need for starter fertilizer might be obviated. Field trials were conducted on seven sites in northwestern Germany to compare liquid manure broadcast application versus injection at recommended rate with and without addition of a nitrification inhibitor in 2013. Several treatments were tested with and without MSD (23-10 kg N-P ha-1). In 2014, the trials were adapted to a proper two-factorial setup with additional reduced manure application rate treatments. Biomass accumulation and nitrogen uptake were assessed at V8 growing stage and at harvest. Compared to broadcast application with MSD, liquid manure injection without MSD showed retarded early-growth, but equal yield and N uptake at harvest in both years. Adding a nitrification inhibitor to injected liquid manure led to equal early-growth and yield, but significantly increased N uptake by 7% in 2013 and 6% in 2014, respectively. Regarding the proper performance of reduced rate injection treatments, the increase in N use efficiency is even more noticeable. The reduction of P input did not influence early growth and yield. P use efficiency from manure is higher when manure is injected prior to planting. These results indicate that liquid manure injection might reduce N and P surpluses in maize growing and therefore benefit farmers and environment.

Title Intelligent magnetic manipulation for gastrointestinal ultrasound

Diagnostic endoscopy in the gastrointestinal tract has remained largely unchanged for decades and is limited to the visualization of the tissue surface, the collection of biopsy samples for diagnoses, and minor interventions such as clipping or tissue removal. In this work, we present the autonomous servoing of a magnetic capsule robot for in-situ, subsurface diagnostics of microanatomy. We investigated and showed the feasibility of closed-loop magnetic control using digitized microultrasound (μUS) feedback; this is crucial for obtaining robust imaging in an unknown and unconstrained environment. We demonstrated the functionality of an autonomous servoing algorithm that uses μUS feedback, both on benchtop trials as well as in-vivo in a porcine model. We have validated this magnetic-μUS servoing in instances of autonomous linear probe motion and were able to locate markers in an agar phantom with 1.0 ± 0.9 mm position accuracy using a fusion of robot localization and μUS image information. This work demonstrates the feasibility of closed-loop robotic μUS imaging in the bowel without the need for either a rigid physical link between the transducer and extracorporeal tools or complex manual manipulation.
ISOLATION AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM MICROPROPAGATED SUGARCANE PLANTLETS

Twelve endophytic bacteria were isolated from surface sterilized micropropagated sugarcane plantlets of variety Co 86032. While most of the colonies were white, a few produced yellow, orange and red colour colonies. Among the bacteria isolated, five were Gram negative bacilli, four were Gram positive bacilli and three were Gram positive cocci. When the 12 bacteria were tested for their functional properties in vitro, two showed phosphate solubilization property, 11 were positive for siderophore production and all 12 produced indole acetic acid (IAA). The isolate ESTS 10 showed strong phosphate solubilization and siderophore production property and also produced IAA to a level of 106 μg/ml. None of the isolated bacteria produced HCN under in vitro condition; however, all of them showed enhanced IAA production in the range of 82-322 μg/ml in the presence of tryptophan within 48 h of inoculation. This enhanced IAA production along with siderophore production property may help the plant in promoting shoot and root growth/biomass when these endophytes are reintroduced in to the plant system, especially at acclimatization stage of micropropagated plantlets.
Report on a Possible Physical Mechanism of Minimum Unit Charge Forming

Study on the perturbation of the gravitational field of black holes is quite an interesting and active research field. This paper deals with the minimum Kerr black hole in the Planck scale. Surprisingly, we find that the perturbation gives a quasi normal mode corresponding to a charge unit of e/3. Works are done to make things self-consistent too.

Background: Previoussurgicalproceduresraisetechnicalchallengesinperformingtotalkneearthroplasty (TKA) and may affect TKA outcomes. Survival rates of TKA done after trauma or surgery to the knee have not been accurately determined in large populations. The objectives of this retrospective study in 263 patients with TKA after knee trauma or surgery and a follow-up of 10 years were to assess survival, functional outcomes, and the nature and frequency of complications. Hypothesis: KneetraumaorsurgerybeforeTKAincreasestheriskofcomplicationsanddecreasesimplant survival. Material and methods: Two hundred and sixty-three patients (122 [47%] females and 141 [53%] males) underwent TKA between 2005 and 2009 at nine centres in France. Mean age at surgery was 61 years. The patients had knee osteoarthritis secondary to a fracture ( n =66), osteotomy ( n =131), or ligament injury ( n =66). Mean time from trauma or surgery to TKA was 145 months (range, 72–219 months). Results: Major complications were infection ( n =12, 4.5%), skin problems ( n =8, 3%), and stiffness ( n =8, 3%). Ten-year survival to implant exchange for any reason was 89% ± 2.8%. Flexion range increased by 2.5 ◦ ± 17 ◦ ( p =0.02)toameanof110 ◦ (range,30 ◦ to140 ◦ );extensionrangeincreasedby4 ◦ ± 7 ◦ ( p <0.001) to a mean of − 1.19 (range, − 20 ◦ to 0 ◦ ). Of the 263 patients, 157 (60%) reported little or no pain at last follow-up. Mean postoperative hip-knee-ankle angle was 179 ◦ ± 3.2 ◦ (range, 171 ◦ –188 ◦ ). Conclusion: TKA performed after knee injury or surgery carries a risk of speciﬁc complications (infection, skin problems, and stiffness) and may have a lower survival rate compared to primary TKA. Level of evidence: IV, retrospective cohort study.
Histological characteristics of fol­li­cu­logenesis in Murrah water buffaloes during the early postpubertal period

A characteristic feature of water buffalo heifers is that they approach breeding maturity later than bovine heifers. From a physiological and endocrinological view, this is related to a later puberty, which affects the overall reproductive performance of water buffalo. The aim of this study was to highlight some morphological characteristics of the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) ovaries in the early postpubertal period. The results showed active ovaries of the examined specimens. Some of the follicles had no oocyte, but were with normal structure and physiological activity. Histology is a definitive method for examination of ovarian activity in water buffaloes. In some of the ovulating follicles the oocyte was absent during early puberty. The presence of corpora lutea confirmed the endocrine maturity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal endocrine axis in 11–14 months old heifers despite the absence of oocytes.
Morphology and reproductive function of induced autotetraploid banana by chromosome doubling.

Triploid bananas can be generated by crossing between diploid and tetraploid banana cultivars. The production of tetraploid banana plants as candidate parents can be obtained by the application of oryzalin or colchicines. The objectives of this study were to characterize the autotetraploid banana plant “Pisang Madu” (Musa, AAAA) induced by in-vitro oryzalin treatment and to use these tetraploid plants as 2x gamete donors in crosses with diploids to generate triploid hybrids. In-vitro shoot cultures of parthenocarpic diploid banana “Pisang Madu” (Musa, AA) were initiated and the in vitro shoots were treated by oryzalin at a concentration of 60μM for 7 days in a liquid MS basal medium with addition of 2 mg/l BA. The treated shoots were selected for the solid tetraploids using flowcytometer. Morphology characterization and was study of reproductive function conducted at the Cibinong Science Center for 2 cycles. Fifty two quantitative and qualitative characters were recorded based on UPOV for Banana. Compared with the original diploids, the autotetraploid bananas showed an increase in fruit size and bunch weight. They also showed drooping leaves and truncated fruit apex. Furthermore, the autotetraploids were successfully used as 2x gamete donors in generating triploid hybrids.
CHAPTER 2 Health Context for Management of Particulate Matter

This chapter’s objective is to provide a health context for this Assessment which, as noted in Chapter 1, focuses on atmospheric-science considerations related to the management of airborne PM. PM, unspecified as to chemical composition, is of major concern for producing health effects and, thus, subject to government regulation in many countries including Canada, Mexico, and the United States. There is a considerable and growing body of evidence showing an association between increases in adverse health effects, especially of the cardiac and respiratory systems, and elevated levels of PM in air. This evidence has served as a driver for promulgation of new standards and guidance for PM and the development of related control strategies.
MATERIAL RECYCLING AND IMPROVEMENT ISSUES IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

The objective of this study is to find ways of reusing polymeric material left over in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) in other Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, i.e. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). Furthermore, attempts are made to improve the material’s mechanical properties. This paper provides information about the changes of tensile properties taking place in the un-sintered polymeric material after it has been exposed to SLS process and the tensile properties that the recycled material obtains when additives are added into its matrix.
A spatial resolution study of tomographic PIV using Taylor-Couette flow

In this paper, we study the spatial resolution and the accuracy of tomographic particle image velocimetry (PIV). Since the spatial resolution of tomographic PIV is limited by the maximum density of the recorded particle images, sometimes the number of vectors exceeds the number of reconstructed particles. Then the actual resolution of tomographic PIV comes into question. We use fully turbulent Taylor-Couette flow to investigate the question, where the Reynolds number is changed from 3800 to 47000. Taylor-Couette geometry consists of two coaxial transparent cylinders, which allows implementing non-intrusive measurement techniques in addition to torque measurements. Independent torque measurements on the cylinders provide information about Kolmogorov length scale and the energy dissipation rate. We compute the dissipation rate from tomographic PIV data and compare the values against the dissipation rate estimated by the torque measurements. We change the interrogation window size and overlap values to see the effect of different data processing parameters on the measurement results. The results show that for all cases the flow is under-resolved. However, the results improve for decreasing Reynolds numbers. It is shown that the actual spatial resolution is a function of both vector spacing and the interrogation window size. It is significant that an improvement is achieved by increasing window overlap ratio to 75%, compared against 0 and 50% overlap cases at a constant interrogation window size. We also propose a range of vector spacing values for fully resolving the turbulent flow scales.
RpoS contributes in a host-dependent manner to Salmonella colonization of the leaf apoplast during plant disease

Contaminated fresh produce has been routinely linked to outbreaks of Salmonellosis. Multiple studies have identified Salmonella enterica factors associated with successful colonization of diverse plant niches and tissues. It has also been well documented that S. enterica can benefit from the conditions generated during plant disease by host-compatible plant pathogens. In this study, we compared the capacity of two common S. enterica research strains, 14028s and LT2 (strain DM10000) to opportunistically colonize the leaf apoplast of two model plant hosts Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana benthamiana during disease. While S. enterica 14028s benefited from co-colonization with plant-pathogenic Pseudomonas syringae in both plant hosts, S. enterica LT2 was unable to benefit from Pto co-colonization in N. benthamiana. Counterintuitively, LT2 grew more rapidly in ex planta N. benthamiana apoplastic wash fluid with a distinctly pronounced biphasic growth curve in comparison with 14028s. Using allelic exchange, we demonstrated that both the N. benthamiana infection-depedent colonization and apoplastic wash fluid growth phenotypes of LT2 were associated with mutations in the S. enterica rpoS stress-response sigma factor gene. Mutations of S. enterica rpoS have been previously shown to decrease tolerance to oxidative stress and alter metabolic regulation. We identified rpoS-dependent alterations in the utilization of L-malic acid, an abundant carbon source in N. benthamiana apoplastic wash fluid. We also present data consistent with higher relative basal reactive oxygen species (ROS) in N. benthamiana leaves than in A. thaliana leaves. The differences in basal ROS may explain the host-dependent disease co-colonization defect of the rpoS-mutated LT2 strain. Our results indicate that the conducive environment generated by pathogen modulation of the apoplast niche can vary from hosts to host even with a common disease-compatible pathogen.
