Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Big Five Model - How Our Personality Affects Language Use

Recently there has been an increasing interest in personality computing, a research field that mainly concerns itself with problems of personality perception, synthesis and recognition. In order to provide personality measure for these tasks, two models have been most commonly applied: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Big Five model (BF). Since some early scientific works have been critical of MBTI, the Big Five model has historically been more favoured by the scientific community. However, in recent years there has been an increasing number of researchers examining the possible application of MBTI in personality computing. Although the correlation between the set of measures offered by these two models has been proven to exist, works that directly compare the two, especially from the aspect of language usage, have been scarce. In this paper we examine the linguistic similarities between individuals labelled with MBTI types and Big Five dimensions by conducting an analysis using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC). Our study has further substantiated previous linguistic qualities of the Big Five model, while providing a novel insight into how MBTI types influence language use. Additionally, the results of our research have indicated existence of language use patterns shared by these two models. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a comparison of effects the two personality models have on language usage has been made.
Improved YOLOv4-Tiny Lightweight Country Road Pavement Damage Detection Algorithm

To solve the problem of insufficient deployment of mobile phone terminal for existing rural road pavement damage detection in China, a lightweight pavement damage detection algorithm based on an improved lightweight YOLOv4-Tiny network model is proposed. First, K-Means algorithm is used to improve the size matching problem of a priori anchor boxes, determine the size of the priority anchor frame to achieve accurate matching between the a priori anchor frame and the real object; Next, the improved YOLOv4-Tiny uses the Mosaic data enhancement method to perform data enhancement on the image, enrich datasets and reduce GPU usage, while making the network more robust; Then, we replace CSPDarknet53-Tiny backbone network with MobileNetV2 network, and the ordinary convolutions in the original backbone network are replaced with depthwise separable convolutions, which effectively reduce the complexity and parameter amount of the model while strengthening feature extraction; Finally, ECA (Efficient Channel Attention) channel attention mechanism is integrated at the model feature extraction end to further enhance the ability of pavement damage feature extraction. The experimental results show that, compared with the original YOLOv4-Tiny model, the mean Average Precision (mAP) of the improved model is increased by 10.2%, GFLOPS decreased by 1.3G, params reduced by 0.239M, the accuracy of pavement damage detection is improved effectively while reducing the size of the parameters of the model.
The role of Poynting's vector in polyphase power calculations

This paper is a tutorial contribution to the clarification of the role played by Poynting's vector (PV) in power calculations. In polyphase power systems, the standard computation of the instantaneous power is usually performed by using a summation of voltage–current products. We show analytically how such a result can be deduced directly from Maxwell's equations together with the evaluation of the PV flux. A simple application example is provided to illustrate the issue under discussion. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Exponential Stability Criterion for State-space Interfered Discrete System through External Disturbance

This article deals with stability investigation of state-space fixed-point discrete system using saturation nonlinearity and external interference. A criterion for exponential stability is proposed via a passivity-based approach for an externally interfered nonlinear discrete system. For the discrete system with saturation overflow nonlinearity, we have analyzed the passive behaviour under the effects of external interference and asymptotic stability with zero interference. A comparative study is made available with the previously reported result to highlight the worth and relaxed nature of the proposed work. The criterion developed is in linear matrix inequality (LMI) settings and therefore, numerically less complex. Numerical simulations are made available to showcase the productiveness of the obtained criterion.
The “Attention-to” List as an Alternative to the Checklist

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new model for ICU follow-up co-designed by nurses from four different wards. This paper aims to compare the checklist aiding the ICU follow-ups with an alternative “attention-to” list. Nurses from four wards co-designed a new take on the ICU follow-up procedure. The study included users in designing the procedure and provided the users with the opportunity to influence the product that affects their clinical practices. We compare the “attention-to” list with the checklist and suggest a newmodel for follow-up after patients are transferred from an ICU to a general ward. The nurses who participated found that the traditional checklist approach creates more obstacles than it supports. The obstacles are due to the change in context as the follow-up plan is initiated in the ICU but is performed on the general ward. Therefore, the plan must accommodate both working environments. In conclusion, the newmodel for ICU follow-up is characterized by being goal-oriented and putting nursing expertise at its core. Furthermore, the new model can adapt to the change in context as it is initiated in the ICU setting and executed in a general ward.
An Hourly Assimilation–Forecast Cycle: The RUC

Abstract The Rapid Update Cycle (RUC), an operational regional analysis–forecast system among the suite of models at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), is distinctive in two primary aspects: its hourly assimilation cycle and its use of a hybrid isentropic–sigma vertical coordinate. The use of a quasi-isentropic coordinate for the analysis increment allows the influence of observations to be adaptively shaped by the potential temperature structure around the observation, while the hourly update cycle allows for a very current analysis and short-range forecast. Herein, the RUC analysis framework in the hybrid coordinate is described, and some considerations for high-frequency cycling are discussed. A 20-km 50-level hourly version of the RUC was implemented into operations at NCEP in April 2002. This followed an initial implementation with 60-km horizontal grid spacing and a 3-h cycle in 1994 and a major upgrade including 40-km horizontal grid spacing in 1998. Verification of forecasts.
Weakly nonlinear theory of shear-banding instability in a granular plane Couette flow: analytical solution, comparison with numerics and bifurcation

A weakly nonlinear theory, in terms of the well-known Landau equation, has been developed to describe the nonlinear saturation of the shear-banding instability in a rapid granular plane Couette flow using the amplitude expansion method. The nonlinear modes are found to follow certain symmetries of the base flow and the fundamental mode, which helped to identify analytical solutions for the base-flow distortion and the second harmonic, leading to an exact calculation of the first Landau coefficient. The present analytical solutions are used to validate a spectral-based numerical method for the nonlinear stability calculation. The regimes of supercritical and subcritical bifurcations for the shear-banding instability have been identified, leading to the prediction that the lower branch of the neutral stability contour in the (H, φ0)-plane, where H is the scaled Couette gap (the ratio between the Couette gap and the particle diameter) and φ0 is the mean density or the volume fraction of particles, is subcritically unstable. The predicted finite-amplitude solutions represent shear localization and density segregation along the gradient direction. Our analysis suggests that there is a sequence of transitions among three types of pitchfork bifurcations with increasing mean density: from (i) the bifurcation from infinity in the Boltzmann limit to (ii) subcritical bifurcation at moderate densities to (iii) supercritical bifurcation at larger densities to (iv) subcritical bifurcation in the dense limit and finally again to (v) supercritical bifurcation near the close packing density. It has been shown that the appearance of subcritical bifurcation in the dense limit depends on the choice of the contact radial distribution function and the constitutive relations. The scalings of the first Landau coefficient, the equilibrium amplitude and the phase diagram, in terms of mode number and inelasticity, have been demonstrated. The granular plane Couette flow serves as a paradigm that supports all three possible types of pitchfork bifurcations, with the mean density (φ0) being the single control parameter that dictates the nature of the bifurcation. The predicted bifurcation scenario for the shear-band formation is in qualitative agreement with particle dynamics simulations and the experiment in the rapid shear regime of the granular plane Couette flow.
Effect of Beverage Consumption on Color Stability of CAD/CAM Ceramics

Statement of problem: color stability of ceramic restorations upon common beverage consumption assures its esthetics and clinical acceptability. This study was formulated to evaluate the effect of coffee consumption on color stability of different CAD/CAM ceramics used for esthetic restoration fabrication. Materials and methods: A total of 45 discs were constructed of (IPS Emax CAD, Vita Suprinity & Vita Enamic) 10 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm thick. Samples were divided into three groups (15 discs each) according to the tested material then immersed in instant coffee solution for 12 days, at 37° C in dark environment. Ceramic discs of each material were optically connected with drop of distilled water to composite substrate background. The CIE L* a *b color parameters were recorded before immersion, and after immersion in coffee solution using a spectrophotometer. Data were recorded, tabulated, and statistically analyzed Results: A statistical insignificant difference in mean values of (ΔE) was detected between tested ceramics immersed in coffee. Conclusions: The color of the three tested ceramics changed on immersion in coffee; (ΔE) values were above 3.3, which is clinically unacceptable and unaesthetic. Recommendations: Dentists should warn patients about the effects of dietary habits and staining beverages on dental ceramics.
Large Eddy Simulation of Internal Boundary Layers Created by a Change in Surface Roughness

Abstract Turbulence in a γ-mesoscale internal boundary layer (IBL) formed by a discontinuous change in surface roughness has been investigated using a large eddy simulation (LES) model to explicitly treat turbulent transport. Two cases are examined: a rough-to-smooth transition and a smooth-to-rough transition. IBL heights are identified using two absolute criteria, one in terms of horizontal stress variation and the other in terms of vertical stress variation, and the ratio of these two heights is found to be approximately constant with fetch. The IBL growth rate with fetch is essentially the same for both transitions, which is here interpreted as reflecting self-similarity of the IBL at relatively large fetches. Parameterization of IBL growth in terms of turbulent intensity is successful when the average turbulent intensity in the IBL is employed but not if the turbulent intensity at the IBL top is utilized. The effective eddy mixing length for longitudinal velocity does not experience strong variations.

Non-Passive Securities Lending by Passive Investors

We study passive funds’ conflicts of interest by examining their securities lending decisions. We show that passive funds’ lending varies with the costs of lending for their families. Passive funds are less likely to lend a security if (i) active funds in their families have a sizable stake in the security or (ii) their families have business relationships with the security’s issuer. The effect of these costs is especially strong among funds with in-house lending agents that retain a high fraction of lending fees. The findings indicate that passive funds trade off maximizing investor returns with maximizing fund family value. JEL Classification: G10, G11, G20, G23, G40, G41
Bioaccumulation of some heavy metals in some organs of Coptodon zilli fish in Old Aswan Reservoirs and Aswan River Nile

: This study was carried out in Aswan's old Reservoirs between the old Aswan Dam at the north and the High Dam at the south and the River Nile at the area of entrance of Aswan town. Eighty (80) live ( Coptodon zilli ) fish species were caught and randomly collected. Water samples were collected at a depth of 30 cm. There were not any abnormal clinical signs between examined fish. The concentration of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in the liver and kidney exceeded the maximum permissible limit (MPL) at all seasons with significant differences during different seasons. On the other hand, the results of Cd and lead (Pb) in the muscles were within the maximum permissible limit (MPL) during the different seasons except in autumn without significant differences between results. The concentrations of Cd and Pb in the River Nile and Old Reservoir exceeded permissible limits in winter and in summer. While in Autumn were within the permissible limits and less than permissible limits in Spring. All Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values within the examined organs liver, kidney and muscles are of low concentration according to the WMPT.
Clinical Application of Ultrasound-Guided Internal Branch of Superior Laryngeal Nerve Block in Patients with Severe COPD Undergoing Awake Fibreoptic Nasotracheal Intubation: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Purpose The aim was to investigate the time for intubation, adverse events and the comfort score of ultrasound-guided internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve block in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) undergoing awake fibreoptic nasotracheal intubation. Methods Sixty patients with COPD who needed awake fibreoptic nasotracheal intubation were randomly and evenly divided into the ultrasound-guided internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve block group (group S) and the control group (group C). All patients received procedural sedation with dexmedetomidine and adequate topical anaesthesia of the upper respiratory tract. Then, bilateral block was performed (with 2 mL of 2% lidocaine or the same volume of saline) followed by fibreoptic nasotracheal intubation. The primary outcomes were time for intubation, adverse reactions and comfort score. The secondary outcomes were haemodynamic changes and serum norepinephrine (NE) and adrenaline (AD) concentrations immediately before intubation (T0); immediately after intubation to the laryngopharynx (T1); and immediately (T2), 5 min (T3) and 10 min (T4) after intubation between the groups. Results Compared with group C, the time for intubation, the incidence of adverse reactions and the comfort score in group S were significantly lower (P<0.01). Compared with T0, the mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), NE and AD were significantly higher at T1 - T4 in group C (P<0.05), but were not obviously higher at T1 - T4 in group S (P>0.05). MAP, HR, NE and AD at T1–T4 were significantly lower in group S than in group C (P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve block can effectively shorten the time for intubation, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, improve comfort score, maintain considerable haemodynamic stability and inhibit stress response in patients with severe COPD undergoing awake fibreoptic nasotracheal intubation.
Association between Multiple Myeloma and Ulcerative Colitis: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

Background and Aims: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell dyscrasia that is common among patients with autoimmune diseases. However, the association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and multiple myeloma (MM) is yet to be established. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MM among patients with UC in the United States. Methods: This cross-sectional cohort analysis used the National Inpatient Sample from 2015–2018 to assess the overall MM prevalence among patients with and without UC, and within specific demographic subgroups. Prevalences were compared using a logistic regression model controlling for sex and age. Results: The crude prevalence of MM among patients with UC (n = 1750) compared with patients without UC (n = 366,265) was 0.44% vs. 0.37%, respectively. Patients with UC had increased overall odds of having MM (odds ratio (OR), 1.26). Males with UC had higher prevalence of MM (53.7% vs. 46.3%, respectively) than females. Patients with UC and MM were more likely to be African American than White (15.6% vs. 9.2%, respectively). Patients with UC age >64 had a higher prevalence of MM than those aged below 65 (70.9% vs. 29.1%, respectively). Patients with UC who were obese (BMI > 30) had a higher prevalence of MM than those who were non-obese (12.6% vs. 8.3%). Conclusions: Overall, UC appears to be associated with MM. This association can be particularly observed in specific demographic groups, such as obese, African American males, or patients >64 years of age. Thus, a high degree of clinical suspicion for MM is warranted, even with minimal symptomatology, in patients with UC, in particular among elder, obese, and African American males.
Clinical characteristics of acute kidney injury in patients with glyphosate surfactant herbicide poisoning

Background In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with glyphosate surfactant herbicide (GSH) poisoning. Methods This study was performed between 2008 and 2021 and included 184 patients categorized into the AKI (n = 82) and non-AKI (n = 102) groups. The incidence, clinical characteristics, and severity of AKI were compared between the groups based on the Risk of renal dysfunction, Injury to the kidney, Failure or Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE) classification. Results The incidence of AKI was 44.5%, of which 25.0%, 6.5%, and 13.0% of patients were classified into the Risk, Injury, and Failure categories, respectively. Patients in the AKI group were older (63.3 ± 16.2 years vs. 57.4 ± 17.5 years, p = 0.02) than those in the non-AKI group. The length of hospitalization was longer (10.7 ± 12.1 days vs. 6.5 ± 8.1 days, p = 0.004) and hypotensive episodes occurred more frequently in the AKI group (45.1% vs. 8.8%, p < 0.001). Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities on admission were more frequently observed in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (80.5% vs. 47.1%, p < 0.001). Patients in the AKI group had poorer renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate at the time of admission, 62.2 ± 22.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 vs. 88.9 ± 26.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.001) on admission. The mortality rate was higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (18.3% vs. 1.0%, p < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hypotension and ECG abnormalities upon admission were significant predictors of AKI in patients with GSH poisoning. Conclusion The presence of hypotension on admission may be a useful predictor of AKI in patients with GSH intoxication.
Untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics to assess plasma metabolite changes in dairy goats with subclinical hyperketonemia.

Subclinical hyperketonemia (SCHK) is the major metabolic disease observed during the transition period in dairy goats, and is characterized by high plasma levels of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). However, no prior study has comprehensively assessed metabolomic profiles of dairy goats with SCHK. Plasma samples were collected within 1 h after kidding from SCHK goats (BHB concentration >0.8 mM, n = 7) and clinically healthy goats (BHB concentration <0.8 mM, n = 7) with similar body condition score (2.75 ± 0.15, mean ± standard error of the mean) and parity (primiparous). A combination of targeted and untargeted mass spectrometric approaches was employed for analyzing the various changes in the plasma lipidome and metabolome. Statistical analyses were performed using the GraphPad Prism 8.0, SIMCA-P software (version 14.1), and R packages (version 4.1.3). Plasma aminotransferase, nonesterified fatty acids, and BHB concentrations were greater in the SCHK group, but plasma glucose concentrations were lower. A total of 156 metabolites and 466 lipids were identified. The analysis of untargeted metabolomics data by principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis revealed a separation between SCHK and clinically healthy goats. According to the screening criteria (unpaired t-test, P < 0.05), 30 differentially altered metabolites and 115 differentially altered lipids were detected. Pathway enrichment analysis identified citrate cycle, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and phenylalanine metabolism as significantly altered pathways. A greater concentration of plasma isocitric acid and cis-aconitic acid levels was observed in SCHK goats. In addition, AA such as lysine and isoleucine were greater, whereas alanine and phenylacetylglycine were lower in SCHK dairy goats. Dairy goats with SCHK also exhibited greater oleic acid, acylcarnitine, and phosphatidylcholine and lower choline and sphingomyelins. Acylcarnitines, oleic acid, and tridecanoic acid displayed positive correlations with several lipid species. Alanine, hippuric acid, and histidinyl-phenylalanine were negatively correlated with several lipids. Overall, altered metabolites in SCHK dairy goats indicated a more severe degree of negative energy balance. Data also indicated an imbalance in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, lipid metabolism, and AA metabolism. The findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of SCHK in dairy goats.
