Effects of different additives on the quality of grass silage and rumen degradability and rumen parameters of the grass silage in rams.

Summary This study was carried out to determine the effects of ensiling grass with different silages additives on dry matter (DM), nutrient content, pH and rumen degradability and the effects of grass silage on the digestibility and rumen parameters in the rams. Fifteen silages were ensiled as grass (with no additives), grass + 2.5% barley mixture, grass + 5% barley mixture, grass + 2.5% barley + 1% molasses + 0.5% salt mixture and grass + 5% barley + 2% molasses + 1% salt mixture with three replicates. Additionally grass with no additives was ensiled in the plastic barrels to determine the effects of this silage on the digestibility, rumen pH, ammonia nitrogen and volatile fatty acids by using three rams. The highest crude protein (CP) contents were determined in the barley, molasses and salt mixture of grass silages (10.41, 10.86%) and the highest nitrogen free extract (NFE) contents were determined in the barley mixture grass silages (44.41, 47.17%). The pH value of silages was decreased according to the amount and type of silage additives. DM and nutrient degradabilities of grass silages with or without additives left rumen incubation at different hours were found statistically different with aspect to hours and types of silage. (P<0.05). CP and DM digestibilities of grass silage in the rams were determined as 64.49 and 53.21%. Total volatile fatty acids were determined as 69.73 mmol/L. Grass silage, mixtured with barley, molasses and salt were determined the best silage with respect to the nutrient content and pH.
Batch Clustering for Multilingual News Streaming

Nowadays, digital news articles are widely available, published by various editors and often written in different languages. This large volume of diverse and unorganized information makes human reading very difficult or almost impossible. This leads to a need for algorithms able to arrange high amount of multilingual news into stories. To this purpose, we extend previous works on Topic Detection and Tracking, and propose a new system inspired from newsLens. We process articles per batch, looking for monolingual local topics which are then linked across time and languages. Here, we introduce a novel "replaying" strategy to link monolingual local topics into stories. Besides, we propose new fine tuned multilingual embedding using SBERT to create crosslingual stories. Our system gives monolingual state-of-the-art results on dataset of Spanish and German news and crosslingual state-of-the-art results on English, Spanish and German news.
Spatial genetic structure of the sea sandwort ( Honckenya peploides ) on Surtsey: an immigrant's journey

Sea sandwort (Honckenya peploides) was one of the first plants to successfully colonize and reproduce on the volcanic island Surtsey, formed in 1963 off the southern coast of Iceland. Using amplified fragment length polymorphic (AFLP) markers, we examined levels of genetic variation and differentiation among populations of H. peploides on Surt- sey in relation to populations on the nearby island Heimaey and from the southern coast of Iceland. Selected popula- tions from Denmark and Greenland were used for compar- ison. In addition, we tested whether the effects of isolation by distance could be seen in the Surtsey populations. Using two primer combinations, we obtained 173 AFLP markers from a total of 347 plant samples. The resulting binary ma- trix was then analysed statistically. The main results include the following: (i) Surtsey had the highest proportion of poly- morphic markers as well as a comparatively high genetic di- versity (55.5 % proportion of polymorphic loci, PLP; 0.1974 HE/ and Denmark the lowest (31.8 % PLP; 0.132 HE), in- dicating rapid expansion during an early stage of popula- tion establishment on Surtsey and/or multiple origins of im- migrants; (ii) the total genetic differentiation (FST) among Surtsey (0.0714) and Heimaey (0.055) populations was less than half of that found among the mainland populations in Iceland (0.1747), indicating substantial gene flow on the is- lands; (iii) most of the genetic variation (79 %,p<0:001) was found within localities, possibly due to the outcrossing and subdioecious nature of the species; (iv) a significant genetic distance was found within Surtsey, among sites, and this ap- peared to correlate with the age of plant colonization; and (v) the genetic structure analysis indicated multiple coloniza- tion episodes on Surtsey, whereby H. peploides most likely immigrated from the nearby island of Heimaey and directly from the southern coast of Iceland.
Revisiting Evaluation of Knowledge Base Completion Models

Representing knowledge graphs (KGs) by learning embeddings for entities and relations has led to accurate models for existing KG completion benchmarks. However, due to the open-world assumption of existing KGs, evaluation of KG completion uses ranking metrics and triple classification with negative samples, and is thus unable to directly assess models on the goals of the task: completion. In this paper, we first study the shortcomings of these evaluation metrics. Specifically, we demonstrate that these metrics (1) are unreliable for estimating how calibrated the models are, (2) make strong assumptions that are often violated, and 3) do not sufficiently, and consistently, differentiate embedding methods from each other, or from simpler approaches. To address these issues, we gather a semi-complete KG referred as YAGO3-TC, using a random subgraph from the test and validation data of YAGO3-10, which enables us to compute accurate triple classification accuracy on this data. Conducting thorough experiments on existing models, we provide new insights and directions for the KG completion research. Along with the dataset and the open source implementation of the models, we also provide a leaderboard for knowledge graph completion that consists of a hidden, and growing, test set, available at https://pouyapez.github. io/yago3-tc/.
PATTERNS OF MICROHABITAT USE BY FISHES IN THE PATCH-FORMING CORAL PORITES RUS

There is increasing evidence that some of the spatial variation in characteristics of local assemblages of reef fish can be explained by variation in the measurable features of the habitat. In lagoons at Moorea, French Polynesia, the coral, Porites rus forms large, structurally complex patch reefs with surface branches and numerous holes and interior cavities. We conducted visual surveys of the fishes associated with a set of 66 P. rus patch reefs and recorded the microhabitat (branch, crevice, interior cavity, water column, etc.) where each fish occurred. In total, 119 species of fish from 25 families were observed in 17 pre-specified microhabitats. The families displayed a range of patterns of occurrence among the microhabitats with some (e.g., Gobiidae, Scorpaenidae) restricted to only a few types, while others (e.g., Apogonidae, Labridae) occurred in a variety of microhabitat types. Similarly, some microhabitats were numerically dominated by individuals within a single family (e.g., Apogonidae in crevices) and other microhabitats (e.g., branches, cavities) were occupied by individuals from numerous families. Knowledge of patterns of microhabitat use can provide useful predictive insight into likely alterations in the composition and structure of coral associated fishes resulting from changes in coral structure that can occur via growth, mortality and/ or damage.
Workplace Automation and Corporate Financial Policy

We document that a firm’s ability to substitute automated capital for labor is an important determinant of corporate financial policy. Using a novel occupational measure for labor’s susceptibility to automation, we show that firms with a more substitutable workforce hold less cash, use more financial leverage, and pay higher dividends. Following adverse shocks to operating cash flow, firms with a more substitutable workforce are more likely to replace labor with automated capital and increase financial leverage. Taken together, the potential for workplace automation gives firms the option to reduce labor-induced operating leverage, allowing them to adopt less conservative financial policies.
Formation Mechanism and Clinical Application of the Dominant Eye

Eye dominance is often defined as a preference for the visual input of one eye to the other. The dominant eye is a common human side of the functional advantages and is significant for clinical diagnosis and treatment of eye disease. While significant research has been performed on the dominant eye, researchers are still unable to come to a general consensus because they are unable to delve deeply into researching the dominant eye in more details. This is very much unlike the study of the human limbs as, over the years, scientists have been able to successfully research its functionality in every aspect. Research from the dominant eye is divided into three phases: Pre-critical, critical period, after the critical period. Ocular dominance is the advantage of a three-dimensional situation, including sighting, movement, acuity, representing different aspects respectively. There are different advantage aspects with different inspection methods. The dominant eye in oblique amblyopia treatment, optometry, refractive surgery has an important application value. With the rapid development of marginal disciplines such as brain science, neurodevelopment, and neurobiology, the rapid advancement and widespread application of neuroelectrophysiology and optical imaging technology have led to deeper research and understanding of the dominant eyes. The purpose of this article is to assess the focus on the dominant eye formation mechanism, inspection methods and review the status of clinical diagnosis and the treatment of eye diseases.
A Discussion of the Synergy and Divergence between Lean Six Sigma and Person-Centred Improvement Sciences

Background: This paper discusses if and how the improvement sciences of Lean Six Sigma and person-centred approaches can be melded or blended in the health care context. The discussion highlights the relationship between each approach to improvement science in terms of their respective purposes, intentions and probable outcomes; positioning these as either synergies or divergences. Comparison of the key theoretical and methodological principles underpinning each approach to improvement is also considered and implications for future practice, policy and research are drawn out. The discussion is informed by part of the findings of a realist review of relevant literature. Conclusions: Lean Six Sigma as a process improvement methodology appeals to a wide range of stakeholders in healthcare internationally. Four key synergies and three key divergences between Lean Six Sigma and person-centred approaches were found. The discussion here highlights the need for further research into Lean Six Sigma implementation and its possible contribution to developing person-centred cultures.Impact: Adoption of Lean Six Sigma in health care by stakeholder groups, external to nursing, has been taking place. At the same time there has been a loss of Lean’s original intention of respect for people in favour of a technical efficiency focus on reducing waste and variation. Our findings of four key synergies and three key divergences between both approaches indicate where synergies can be maximised and divergence narrowed to improve implementation and enhance methodological coherence. Researchers, policy makers and practitioners should be aware that use of Lean Six Sigma alone may have a limited impact on developing person-centred care and culture. Use of Lean combined with person-centred approaches may appeal to a wider range of stakeholders. Yet, their combined use and effectiveness has not as yet been evaluated.
Personality traits and emotional intelligence among health care professionals in a tertiary hospital

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is considered fundamental to get along with others in the workplace. The dearth of literature on personality traits and EI among healthcare professionals calls for concerns. Therefore, this study examined personality traits and emotional intelligence among healthcare professionals in a tertiary hospital in Maiduguri. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and an accidental sampling technique was employed to select 91 healthcare professionals with mean (1.3) age and Standard Deviation (0.46). Hierarchical regression analysis and t-test for independent measures were used, in step one of the regression, age significantly predicted EI (β = -0.27, t = -2.46, p < 0.05). Further t-test analysis to know the direction of the predicted variable (age) on EI showed that younger healthcare professionals are higher on EI [t (89) = 2.44, p < 0.05] than their counterpart. In step 2, psychoticism predicted EI in such a way that EI increases with a decrease in psychoticism trait (β = -0.33, t = -3.01, p < 0.05). In conclusion, personality traits predict EI among healthcare professionals, also, being low on psychoticism traits and younger age predicted EI. It is therefore recommended that EI screening should be an essential prerequisite for recruiting healthcare professionals and subsequently, healthcare professionals that are young, soft-minded, empathetic, less aggressive and impulsive should be allowed to handle those professionals issues that are highly emotional or sensitive in workplace. Key words: Emotional intelligence, healthcare professionals, personality traits.
Modélisation de l'impact de la sélection naturelle et culturelle sur la diversité génétique : cas de la transmission du succès reproducteur et des réseaux de gènes

Les forces de selection sont un des moteurs de l’evolution de la diversite phenotypique et de la diversite genetique neutre et des zones codantes du genome. Cette selection peut s’appliquer sur des caracteres transmis genetiquement ou culturellement. Le travail effectue s’interesse a ces deux processus de selection. Nous avons etudie dans un premier temps les effets de la transmission intergenerationnelle de la fecondite sur la diversite genetique neutre puis dans un deuxieme temps l’impact de la selection sur des phenotypes codes par des reseaux de genes sur le polymorphisme de ces genes.La transmission de la fecondite est un phenomene culturel ou genetique qui se caracterise par une correlation positive entre la taille de fratrie d’un individu et la taille de fratrie de ses enfants. Il a ete observe tant dans des populations humaines qu’animales. Nous montrons, par l’outil de la modelisation, que ses effets et la possibilite de le detecter dependent autant du type de donnees etudiees (genetiques ou genealogiques), que des differents types de transmission (uniparentale, biparentale). Nous montrons que d’autres phenomenes, tels que l’heterogeneite du succes reproducteur des individus, peuvent fortement moduler son impact. Nous developpons un certain nombre d’outils permettant de detecter ce phenomene de transmission de la fecondite tant sur des donnees genealogiques que sur des donnees genetiques relevant de differents modeles mutationnels (microsatellite, sequences, SNPs) et de differents types de transmission (haploide ou diploide, lie au sexe ou non). Nous avons applique ces outils notamment a trois populations humaines du Cilento en Italie (genealogies et ADN mitochondrial), des donnees d’Asie Centrale (chromosome Y) et des donnees HapMap (autosomes). La seconde partie de la these porte sur la modelisation de l’action de la selection naturelle sur des caracteres codes par des reseaux de regulation et decrit l’impact de ce type de selection sur l’evolution du phenotype et sur la diversite des genes sous-jacents. Un phenotype est le resultat des interactions entre differents genes et leurs produits. Nous montrons que la selection sur ce phenotype va modifier l’organisation du reseau de genes ainsi que le niveau de polymorphisme des genes du reseau. Par exemple, lorsque le phenotype optimal correspond a une expression mediane des genes, les genes les plus regulateurs vont etre soumis a une plus forte perte de diversite. En revanche, si le phenotype optimal correspond a une expression tres forte, ce sont les genes les plus regules qui vont etre les plus contraints. Cette analyse a permis de montrer la complexite des relations entre selection, reseaux de regulation, phenotypes et environnement.
Email Spam Classification Using Gated Recurrent Unit and Long Short-Term Memory

High numbers of spam emails have led to an increase in email triage, causing losses amounting to USD 355 million per year. One way to reduce this loss is to classify spam email into categories including fraud or promotions made by unwanted parties. The initial development of spam email classification was based on simple methods such as word filters. Now, more complex methods have emerged such as sentence modeling using machine learning. Some of the most well-known methods for dealing with the problem of text classification are networks with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU). This study focuses on the classification of spam emails, so both the LTSM and GRU methods were used. The results of this study show that, under the scenario without dropout, the LSTM and GRU obtained the same accuracy value of 0.990183, superior to XGBoost, the base model. Meanwhile, in the dropout scenario, LSTM outperformed GRU and XGboost with each obtaining an accuracy of 98.60%, 98.58% and 98.52%, respectively. The GRU recall score was better than that of LSTM and XGBoost in the scenario with dropouts, each obtaining values of 98.98%, 98.92% and 98.15% respectively. In the scenario without dropouts, LSTM was superior to GRU and XGBoost, with each obtaining values of 98.39%, 98.39% and 98.15% respectively.
WHEN DOES PSYCHOLOGICAL ENTITLEMENT LEAD TO INCIVILITY? THE ROLE OF ABUSIVE SUPERVISION PERCEPTIONS AND RUMINATION

The present study investigates the influence of psychological entitlement on instigated incivility of employees accompanied by mediating impact of abusive supervision perceptions. The buffering role of rumination on the linkage between abusive supervision perceptions and instigated incivility is also analyzed. Using a time lag approach, data were collected from 276 employees from service industry in three phases. The results demonstrate that psychological entitlement augments the uncivil behaviors of employees. The mediating effect of abusive supervision perceptions on the association between psychological entitlement and instigated incivility is also established. Moreover, the results reveal that rumination intensifies the positive influence of abusive supervision on instigated incivility of employees. The findings of the research will guide organizational management in understanding how to cope with entitlement tendency of employees. The extant research expands the scope through which the impact of psychological entitlement on employee behavioral reactions can be studied.
The Elusiveness of Communicative Influence: How Key Socializers Influence Adolescents’ Proenvironmental Engagement

The focus of this study is communicative influence—words of encouragement and persuasion—and its role in young people’s proenvironmental engagement. It offers a holistic understanding of adolescents’ social context by studying communicative influence from three key socializers at once: parents, friends, and teachers. The study also contributes a longitudinal perspective by investigating behavior change over time in adolescents with different extents of communicative influence. Finally, the validity of the measurement of communicative influence is put to the test. The findings confirm the prominent role of parents in adolescents’ proenvironmental engagement, but also reveal that adolescents tend to misinterpret communicative influence from parents in line with their own environmental beliefs. Young people with two or more sources of encouragement are the most environmentally engaged; however, the extent of communicative influence does not increase their probability of being more engaged one year later.
A fibrin biofilm covers the blood clot and protects from microbial invasion

Haemostasis requires conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin fibres that generate a characteristic network, interact with blood cells, and initiate tissue repair. The fibrin network is porous and highly permeable, but the spatial arrangement of the external clot face is unknown. Here we show that fibrin transitioned to the blood-air interface through Langmuir film formation, producing a protective film confining the clot. We demonstrated that only fibrin is required to form the film, and that it occurred in vitro and in vivo. The fibrin film connected to the underlying clot network through tethering fibres. It was digested by plasmin and formation of the film was prevented with surfactants. Functionally, the film retained blood cells and protected against penetration by bacterial pathogens in a murine model of dermal infection. Our data show a remarkable aspect of blood clotting, in which fibrin forms a protective film covering the external surface of the clot, defending the organism against microbial invasion.

Dietary supplementation versus direct postmortem addition of α-tocopherol acetate on fatty acid composition of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets during refrigerated storage.

This study was designed to compare the effects of α-tocopherol acetate which added to diet (0, 300 and 500 mg/kg) in 58 days trial and direct addition (200 mg/kg flesh) after slaughtering on fatty acid composition of rainbow trout fillets during 12 days of refrigerated storage. Fish were fed experimental diets twice daily at 8:00 and 17:00 h, 7 days a week. The present study illustrated that dietary α-tocopherol acetate showed no statistically difference (P>0.05) in fillet composition parameters and content of the major fatty acid groups of fish fillets after 8 weeks experiment. In general, there was decrease in the proportion of MUFA and PUFA, and an increase of SFA in all treatments during refrigerated storage (P<0.05). However, during storage period, the fatty acid composition was not affected by the postmortem addition of vitamin E, but fish that fed supplemented diets with α-tocopherol acetate had less change in fatty acids in comparison to the control diets at the end of refrigerated storage (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in FA composition (P>0.05) between the fillets of fish fed diets containing different levels of α-tocopherol during storage period.
Prediction Focused Topic Models Via Vocab Filtering

Supervised topic models are often sought to balance prediction quality and interpretability. However, when models are (inevitably) misspeciﬁed, standard approaches rarely deliver on both. We introduce a novel approach, the prediction-focused topic model, that uses the supervisory signal to retain only vocabulary terms that improve, or do not hinder, prediction performance. By removing terms with irrelevant signal, the topic model is able to learn task-relevant, interpretable topics. We demonstrate on several data sets that compared to existing approaches, prediction-focused topic models are able to learn much more coherent topics while maintaining competitive predictions.
