Cognitive Flexibility and Decision Making Predicts Expertise in the MOBA Esport, League of Legends

In recent years, esports (the competitive video game industry) have evolved significantly, revolutionizing not only the competitive scene but also the teams and their professional staff. Sports psychologists need to face with cognitive demands related to this activity primarily mental, to respond to the specific needs of the sector (e.g., high performance interventions). The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between cognitive performance in tests and the MOBA League of Legends (LOL) game scores. A group of 36 pure-genre LOL players was evaluated with behavioral tests of fluid intelligence, attentional control inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and decision making. Furthermore, their in-game performance (rank percentile, kills death assists, minions per minute, and vision score) was recorded during a complete season (approximately 1 year). Data was analyzed by means of correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results showed that cognitive flexibility was positively related to the “rank percentile” (p < .001; R = .442; 95% CI [2.97, 74.76]). Besides, a positive relationship was found between decision making and the in-game performance variable “minions per minute” (p = .009; R = .236; 95% CI [−8.46, 5.26]). These findings point that it is possible predict performance on specific variables, in esports with high cognitive impact throughout neuropsychological assessment. These results provide a starting point for research in the field of esports, sports psychology, and high-performance-oriented intervention.
Production of maize-soybean complementary foods fortified with crayfish, bonga fish and carrot flours rich in essential nutrients

Blends of maize-soyabean complementary foods were fortified with foods rich in calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin A. Crayfish, bonga fish, and carrot that were processed into flours separately and blended in ratios (2:1:1 w/w) to produce food fortificant. Maize flour, soyabean flour and fortificant were mixed in the ratio of 70:30:0, 60:30:10 and 50:30:20 (% w/w dry basis), respectively to obtain three blends of complementary food. Standard chemical methods were used to determine the blends’ proximate composition, mineral, vitamin A and anti-nutrientional factors. The unfortified blend contents of calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin A were at level of 417.37, 9.15, 6.20 mg/100 g and 387.67 μg RE/100 g, respectively but increased in the fortified blends to the range of 560.45 to 620.12 mg/100 g, 12.43 to 14.25 mg/100 g, 8.72 to 10.67 mg/100 g, and 550.13 to 710.25 μg RE/100 g. Fortified blends formula had micronutrients significantly higher (p<0.05) than the proprietary formula, Cerelac. The blends had 4.03 kCal/g average energy content, 12-19% protein-energy ratio and 25-28% energy from lipids. The proposed fortification levels are based on a daily ration size of 65 g for infants aged 9 to 11 and children aged 12 to 23 months. Feeding 65 g of the diets to infants aged 6 to 11 months will meet the 200, 300 kCal/day and 350 μg RE/day Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNI) for energy and vitamin A and will be adequate for the minerals (calcium and zinc) requirement of children aged 12 to 23 months.
LIGHT VARIATIONS OF THE POPULATION II F-TYPE SUPERGIANT HD 46703.

Photometric monitoring has revealed brightness variations of 0m.1 on a time scale of weeks for HD 46703, a metal-deficient F-type field analog of the stars lying above the horizontal branch in globular clusters. The authors suggest that HD 46703 belongs to the "89 Her" class of luminous F-type variables. Since HD 46703 is unquestionably a halo object, it is almost certainly a low-mass star. The authors suggest that it, and probably the other 89 Her variables, are masquerading as supergiants during their final evolution off the asymptotic giant branch.
Anemometry in Icing Conditions

Abstract The accuracy of wind measurements in icing conditions is discussed, and wind tunnel calibrations as well as field comparisons are presented for three heated anemometers that use different measuring principles. It is pointed out that ice-free anemometer calibrations, including those provided by manufacturers, are affected by the blockage effect in wind tunnels that are too small. Some anemometers that measure correctly in a wind tunnel give erroneous results in the field. Overall, measuring mean wind speeds and peak values in icing conditions with the accuracy of about 5% seems possible with the present technology, both with rotational and sonic anemometers, but in the most severe environments only some internally heated rotational anemometers are reliable. Wind measurements in icing conditions without due consideration of anemometer selection, specific instrument problems, calibration inaccuracies, mean vertical velocity component, and anti-icing of the supporting structures may result in very bi.
The Sublimation of Dry Ice Pellets Used for Cloud Seeding

Abstract A numerical model has been developed to investigate the sublimation rate of cylindrical dry ice pellets in clear and cloudy air. Experiments conducted in the University of Alberta FROST icing-wind tunnel were used to make comparisons with the model predictions of the sublimation rate. These experiments were carried out in both cold and warm environments. Furthermore, some of the experiments were conducted with the sprays operating in order to determine the effect of a simulated “cloudy” environment on the sublimation rate. The principal conclusions are: a) despite the use of several simplifying assumptions, the cylindrical model predict the sublimation rates of dry ice pellets to within 20%, when compared with wind tunnel observations, and b) cloudy and saturated conditions at warm temperatures enhance the sublimation rate of dry ice, but cloudy and saturated conditions at cold temperatures do not have an appreciable effect on the sublimation rate of dry ice.
Field-theoretical approach to multicritical behavior near free surfaces

The critical behavior of a semi-infinite $n$-vector model in $4\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ dimensions near the special transition is studied. The renormalization of the relevant surface operators is discussed and explicitly carried out in two-loop order. It is found that the crossover exponent ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{s}$ related to the square of the order parameter in the surface does not satisfy the relation ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{s}=1\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\nu}$ due to Bray and Moore.
Transient behavior of a cavitating centrifugal pump at rapid change in operating conditions-part 2 : Transient phenomena at pump startup/ shutdown

In the 1st report, the dynamic behavior of a cavitating centrifugal pump was related to the transient phenomena at the sudden opening/closure of the discharge valve. In this paper, the experimental study was extended to the transient behavior of the cavitating centrifugal pump at rapid starting/stopping of the pump. Unsteady pressures and flowrate were related to time-dependent cavitation behavior in a similar manner as for the rapid operation of the discharge valve. As a result of the present study, pressure fluctuations were found to occur due to water column separation at the sudden stop of the pump similarly to pressure oscillations associated with the sudden closure of the discharge valve. Moreover, the experimental results on the transient behavior at pump startup indicated that the transient fluctuations of delivery pressure and discharge flowrate are caused by oscillating cavitation similarly to the ones occurring at the opening of the discharge valve.
Calculation of Transition Probabilities and Lifetimes of the 4d95p Levels in Ag II

We report theoretical transition probabilities for all allowed transitions between the lowest configurations in Ag II (4d10, 4d95s and 4d95p) and lifetimes of all 4d95p levels. The method of superposition-of-configurations, in fully ab initio form, was employed. Our results are in particularly good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical work (Biémont E et al 1997 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 30 2067). Possible astrophysical applications are briefly discussed.
The profile‐analysis bandwidth

Detection of a change in spectral shape, or profile analysis, appears to be mediated by comparisons across widely separated frequency ‘‘channels’’ rather than by local comparisons among adjacent frequency regions [e.g., Green et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 73, 639–643 (1983)]. Two experiments were conducted in order to determine the ‘‘resolution bandwidth’’ of these channels. The first involved detection of an increment to a single component of a multicomponent background as a function of the number of components in the background. Performance improved as the number of components was increased from 3 to 21. Further increases yielded poorer performance and the estimate of the ‘‘resolution bandwidth’’ from these data suggests that this poorer performance was due simply to masking. The second experiment involved discrimination of a multicomponent complex having a flat amplitude spectrum from one having a sinusoidally ‘‘rippled’’ amplitude spectrum. The latter experiment yielded somewhat larger estimates of the .
Factors Affecting Internal Audit Effectiveness: A Research in China SMES

: The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence the effectiveness of internal auditing of unlisted SMEs in China. The research design of this paper is a questionnaire-based quantitative research method used to collect empirical data from 26 internal auditors. The findings show that firm size, independence of internal audit, level of communication with external auditors, support from management, and competence of internal auditors have significant positive impact on internal audit effectiveness. Among them, MS and IND have relatively the greatest impact on IAE. At the same time, in order to improve the effectiveness of internal auditing of small and medium-sized enterprises, enterprises are more inclined to strengthen communication and cooperation with external auditors, rather than improving the ability of internal auditors. The current research has some value for policy makers in SMEs. This provides a new way of thinking for enterprise decision-making in order to improve the effectiveness of internal audit - to implement outsourcing of internal audit. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to examine the factors that influence the effectiveness of internal auditing in Chinese non-listed SMEs. But it also has its limitations: the survey sample is too small. The current study is helpful for further in-depth research in the future.
A dynamo explanation for Mercury's anomalous magnetic field

Recent MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) measurements have shown that Mercury's magnetic field is axial‐dominant, yet strongly asymmetric with respect to the equator: the field strength in the Northern Hemisphere is approximately 3 times stronger than that in the Southern Hemisphere. Here we show that convective dynamo models driven by volumetric buoyancy with north‐south symmetric thermal boundaries are capable of generating quasi‐steady north‐south asymmetric magnetic fields similar to Mercury's. This symmetry breaking is promoted and stabilized when the core‐mantle boundary heat flux is higher at the equator than at high latitudes. The equatorially asymmetric magnetic field generation in our dynamo models corresponds to equatorially asymmetric kinetic helicity, which results from mutual excitation of two different modes of columnar convection. Our dynamo model can be tested by future assessment of Mercury's magnetic field from MESSENGER and BepiColombo as well as through investigations on Mercury's lower mantle temperature heterogeneity and buoyancy forcing in Mercury's core.
Genetic analysis reveals the putative native range and widespread double‐clonal reproduction in the invasive longhorn crazy ant

Clonal reproduction can provide an advantage for invasive species to establish as it can circumvent inbreeding depression which often plagues introduced populations. The world's most widespread invasive ant, Paratrechina longicornis, was previously found to display a double‐clonal reproduction system, whereby both males and queens are produced clonally, resulting in separate male and queen lineages, while workers are produced sexually. Under this unusual reproduction mode, inbreeding is avoided in workers as they carry hybrid interlineage genomes. Despite the ubiquitous distribution of P. longicornis, the significance of this reproductive system for the ant's remarkable success remains unclear, as its prevalence is still unknown. Further investigation into the controversial native origin of P. longicornis is also required to reconstruct the evolutionary histories of double‐clonal lineages. Here, we examine genetic variation and characterize the reproduction mode of P. longicornis populations sampled worldwide using microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA sequences to infer the ant's putative native range and the distribution of the double‐clonal reproductive system. Analyses of global genetic variations indicate that the Indian subcontinent is a genetic diversity hotspot of this species, suggesting that P. longicornis probably originates from this geographical area. Our analyses revealed that both the inferred native and introduced populations exhibit double‐clonal reproduction, with queens and males around the globe belonging to two separate, nonrecombining clonal lineages. By contrast, workers are highly heterozygous because they are first‐generation interlineage hybrids. Overall, these data indicate a worldwide prevalence of double clonality in P. longicornis and support the prediction that the unusual genetic system may have pre‐adapted this ant for global colonization by maintaining heterozygosity in the worker force and alleviating genetic bottlenecks.
Treatment of full-layer skin defects using decellularized pig skin dermal matrix

The choice of treatment methods for complex skin defects poses certain technical and medical difficulties related to the choice of material for filling the wound defect and its antigenic compatibility. A promising direction in the treatment of skin defects is the use of decellularized (celluless) pig skin, the composition and structure of which is as close as possible to the patient's dermis. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical case of a patient with a basal cell carcinoma in the right wing of the nose, who was treated with full-layer skin defects using a decellularized dermal matrix from pig skin. Material and methods of investigation. Patient P., 94 years old, with a basal cell carcinoma in the area of the right wing of the nose, underwent treatment. As a material applied directly to the wound, a flap of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) of pig skin with preservation of the native structure was used. Results. 6 weeks before the visit to the dermatologist, the patient developed a pea-sized papule on the skin in the area of ​​the wing of the nose, which increased in size and became painful on palpation. When examining the skin in the area of ​​the right wing of the nose, a tumor-like formation was observed, 1x1 cm in size, flesh-colored, with peeling on the surface and vascularization, firm consistency, painful. Regional lymph nodes are not enlarged. The formation is clearly separated from healthy skin. The oncologist made a diagnosis: basal cell carcinoma. The tumor was removed, resulting in a full-layer skin defect measuring 1x1.5 cm with connection to the nasal cavity. Acellular dermal matrix was used to close the defect on the 3rd day after surgery. The flap was placed so that it did not cover the skin around the wound. With the help of "Levomykol" ointment, a moist chamber was created over the dermal flap. The dressing was changed every 2-3 days. On the 14th day, the flap peeled off, a granulating wound with signs of marked marginal epithelization formed in its place. The bottom of the wound was located almost at the same level as the intact skin. On the 21st and 26th day, active marginal epithelization of the wound and wound healing under the scab were noted. The bandage was not used during this period. On the 32nd day, the wound closed. Conclusions. Decellularized dermal matrix of pig skin when closing a full-layer postoperative skin defect creates optimal conditions for reparative wound regeneration. The effectiveness of its use is due to the presence of a collagen matrix in it, from which the nuclear elements of cells have been removed, which does not lead to immune aggression. The clinical case proves the expediency of using the decellularized dermal matrix of pig skin in the treatment of full-layer skin defects of various genesis.
FLAIR observations of planetary nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud

This paper presents new observations of 97 planetary nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained using the FLAIR system on the UK 1.2-m Schmidt Telescope. These nebulae are mostly at the fainter end of the known population, and about 75 per cent have not been observed before in spectroscopic mode. Radial velocities have been measured using cross-correlation techniques, and represent an increase of 66 per cent in the sample of LMC planetary nebulae with known radial velocities. The major line ratios are given, and are analysed in conjunction with published data. One-quarter of the faint nebulae are Type I objects with very strong [N II] and [S II] lines; most of the other faint nebulae have low density, low excitation and relatively strong [S II] lines.
Adoption of Cash on Delivery Payment Method in E-commerce Shopping: A Value-based Adoption Model Approach

Objectives: To examine what factors can influence adoption intention through perceived value and how much influence compatibility can have on the relationship between perceived value and adoption intention. Furthermore, through the results of this research, it is hoped that local retailers can create new services that are appropriate and can help consumers. Design/Method/Approach: Existing scales are adapted, and the field study is conducted in seven different cities of East Java Province, Indonesia. Based on purposive sampling, 195 respondents in seven telecommunication retail outlets completed a questionnaire related to cash-on-delivery service as a payment method of Topsell. This national telecommunication retailer adopts cash on delivery as their payment method. One hundred fifty-four qualified questionnaires are eventually used for data analysis. Furthermore, this study utilizes explanatory research with quantitative research methods. The sample collection method uses a purposive sampling method. Findings: The research results obtained, it can be concluded that all the hypotheses proposed in this study can be accepted. Therefore, these results show that the COD service offered by Topsell can provide technical convenience. Furthermore, compatibility can strengthen the relationship between perceived value and adoption intention. Originality: Many studies utilize the theory of value-based adoption models, but only a few include the compatibility variable as a moderating variable. This research offers originality, especially in service innovation research. The researcher believes compatibility effectively strengthens the relationship between perceived value and adoption intention. Practical/Policy Implications: The research results are expected to contribute ideas. This research develops the theory of the value-based adoption model. Further researchers can adopt the research model and framework. Through all the results obtained, it can provide benefits for local retailers to survive amid this tight business competition by paying attention to the attributes of the value-based adoption model and the suitability of services with community trends. It is also recommended that Topsell and other telecommunication retail companies create a friendly web so that there is a good assessment of the COD services offered to consumers.
Gender representation in the textbook for vocational school students in the Indonesian EFL settings

A textbook is expected to cover all of the teaching necessities as well as educational values contained in the curriculum. Conversely, many scholars or researchers in the study of gender representation portrayed English language textbooks tend to have gender-biased in terms of gender representation in which males are represented more than females in many aspects. Hence, investigating how males and females are represented in Indonesian EFL textbooks is highly beneficial to be explored to clarify and update the finding based on the previous studies. The concern of this current study is to investigate gender representation in the Indonesian EFL textbook for vocational school students by using the framework proposed by (Amerian & Esmaili, 2014). The analysis of the data is based on critical discourse analysis and content analysis. Surprisingly, congruent with most previous studies, the finding reflects that there is inequality in terms of gender representation in which females are underrepresented in the textbook. The finding of this recent study pinpoints the depiction of how males and females are represented and depicted in the Indonesian EFL textbook, as a result, it is expected to convey the awareness of scholars, educators, textbook writers or designers, and policymakers as well related to this issue. Then, it is still highly suggested for scholars or researchers in future studies exploring gender representation in Indonesian EFL textbooks by using other books or other levels of education to evaluate the development of this issue.
Diagnostics for an Extreme Rain Event near Shanghai during the Landfall of Typhoon Fitow (2013)

AbstractTyphoon Fitow made landfall south of Shanghai, China, on 6 October 2013. During the following two days, precipitation in excess of 300 mm day−1 occurred 400 km to the north of the typhoon center. The rain-producing systems included (i) outward-spiraling rainbands, which developed in the storm’s north sector in favorable environmental wind shear, and (ii) frontal cloud as a result of coastal frontogenesis.Over the rain area, in addition to enhanced ascent, there were increases in low-level moisture, convective instability, and midlevel relative vorticity. There is evidence of a preconditioning period prior to the rain when midlevel subsidence and boundary layer moistening occurred. From analysis of low-level equivalent potential temperature the following observations were made: (i) after landfall, a cold, dry airstream wrapped into Fitow’s circulation from the north, limiting the inner-core rainfall and producing a cold-air boundary, and (ii) an extended warm, moist airstream from the east converge.

Synthesis of TiO2 Nanotubes for Improving the Corrosion Resistance Performance of the Titanium Implants

TiO2 nanotubes were successfully synthesized by electrochemical method. A fluoride salt mixture was used as an electrolyte for synthesizing TiO2 nanotubes on titanium substrates. In this work, we have reported the synthesis procedure of TiO2 nanotubes and investigated the corrosion resistance of TiO2 nanotubes coated on the Ti substrate. FE-SEM was used to observe the morphology and determine the size of the TiO2 nanotubes. The phase formation and crystal quality of TiO2 nanotubes were studied by XRD measurements. One-microliter distilled water droplets were used to define the wettability of the TiO2 nanotube surfaces by measuring the contact angle. The corrosion resistance behavior of specimens was analyzed in the simulated body fluid solution (SBF) using potentiodynamic polarization tests for potential application as implants.
