Jovian Auroral Radio Sources Detected In Situ by Juno/Waves: Comparisons With Model Auroral Ovals and Simultaneous HST FUV Images

Since the discovery of Jovian auroral radio emissions, the question arises of the source positions of the different components (broadband kilometric, hectometric, and decametric) and their association with far ultraviolet (FUV) auroral emissions. We surveyed Juno's first 15 perijoves to track local radio sources from in situ Juno/Waves measurements (50 Hz to 40 MHz). This allowed us to study the 3‐D spatial distribution of the broadband kilometric, hectometric, and decametric radio sources. These sources are carried by the same magnetic field lines, with the bulk of them at apex M ranging from 15 to 60 (distance measured in RJ at the magnetic equator). Finally, comparisons with images of the Jovian FUV aurorae simultaneously acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) reveal a partial spatial colocation of the FUV main oval emission with the identified local radio sources.
Florbetaben Amyloid Imaging for cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease

Objective: To determine using amyloid Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) imaging, whether amyloid burden indicated by Florbetaben (FBB) radiotracer, could predict cognitive decline in the Parkinson’s disease individuals with Mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). Methods: In study, movement disorder society (MDS) criteria were used to classify 50 participant with PD-MCI. All subjects underwent clinical evaluation, Structural 3T Magnetic resonance imaging and FBB PET imaging, along with cognitive assessments. The PET images were assessed clinically and the Standard uptake value ratio (SUVRs) were obtained for Region of interest (ROI) analysis, linear regression and multivariate analysis to asses association with cognitive and clinical measure. Results: At baseline, among the 50 scans, 22 % clinically FBB-positive. The Group-byCognition showed an association between amyloid deposition in regions: neocortical, frontal and temporal cortex, anterior and posterior cingulate, precuneus and putamen with the global cognitive Z score, MoCa and Parkinson’s disease dementia "risk" score (PDDRS). We also the pattern of amyloid accumulation in PD-MCI using multivariate analysis ( principal Component analysis). We showed an association between our principal components with the clinical classification of positivity and the neuropsychological score. PCs showed worsening of cognitive impairment in the clinically FBB positive group. In the context of FBB negative group there was no association with the cognitive decline. Conclusions: FBB-PET imaging allows in vivo visualization of amyloid deposition in PD-MCI. At baseline measurements, our study show that amyloid accumulation could potential contribute to cognitive deterioration in PD-MCI.
From Canopy‐Leaving to Total Canopy Far‐Red Fluorescence Emission for Remote Sensing of Photosynthesis: First Results From TROPOMI

Solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), which has substantially improved spatial and temporal resolutions, will improve the global estimations of gross primary production (GPP) than previous satellite SIF data. However, the canopy‐leaving SIF observed by sensors (SIFobs) represents only a portion of the total canopy SIF emission (SIFtotal). This portion is sensitive to the canopy structure and observation direction, resulting in uncertainties in GPP estimations using SIFobs. Here we used the spectral invariant theory to derive global soil‐resistant SIFtotal (SIFtotal‐SR) from TROPOMI SIFobs and evaluated the SIFtotal‐SR performance in estimating GPP. We found that the clear differences in SIFobs between needleleaf forest and crops diminished for SIFtotal‐SR. SIFtotal‐SR increased the coefficient of determination (R2) by 0.09 and 0.11 against the flux tower instantaneous and daily GPP, respectively. This derived SIFtotal‐SR can be used to develop more robust GPP models and better constrain carbon cycle models.
Leading innovation among tourism small and medium enterprises

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of empowering leadership, directive leadership and initiating structure on innovation in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and examine the mediating role of climate for innovation on those relationships. Design/methodology/approach Applying structural equation modeling, the study empirically tested the model on a sample of 330 employees from tourism SMEs in Vietnam. Findings Results indicated that climate for innovation mediated the relationship between empowering leadership and innovation and also initiating structure and innovation. Whereas empowering leadership was found to have a negative direct influence on innovation, directive leadership was unrelated to innovation. Research limitations/implications The results of this study contribute to the literature by expanding the existing research on SME innovation, assessing the effect of diverse leadership styles and a climate for innovation on the innovation performance of SMEs. The findings enrich the literature by indicating the contribution of empowering leadership, directive leadership and initiating structure on encouraging innovation in SMEs. Practical implications When leading subordinates in the SME context, leaders who have a clear understanding of the effect of empowerment, direction and initiating structure can optimally seek to stimulate innovation. These leadership approaches influence employees’ task, interpersonal and role-related processes that shape a climate for innovation. Originality/value The novelty of this paper is that it examines the differential influences of empowering leadership, directive leadership and initiating structure on innovation and the mediating role of climate for innovation on these relationships.

Online motivational interventions: Improving academic achievement in female STEM students

Despite a lack of gender differences in mathematics and science aptitude (e.g., Ceci et al., 2009; Hyde et al., 2008; Waber et al., 2007), femaleʼs subjective perceptions of competence are lower in STEM domains as compared to males (e.g., Schunk & Pajares, 2005). From a motivational perspective, Weinerʼs (1985, 2006) attribution theory underscores the importance of perceptions of personal control in predicting student engagement and achievement, with over 30 years of research showing brief interventions encouraging personally controllable explanations (attributions) for academic setbacks to consistently improve academic motivation and performance (i.e., Attributional Retraining (AR); for reviews, see Forsterling, 1985; Haynes et al., 2009; Wilson et al., 2002).
A survey of model predictive control methods for traffic signal control

Enhancing traffic efficiency and alleviating ( even circumventing ) traffic congestion with advanced traffic signal control ( TSC ) strategies are always the main issues to be addressed in urban transportation systems. Since model predictive control ( MPC ) has a lot of advantages in modeling complex dynamic systems, it has been widely studied in traffic signal control over the past 20 years. There is a need for an in-depth understanding of MPC-based TSC methods for traffic networks. Therefore, this paper presents the motivation of using MPC for TSC and how MPC-based TSC approaches are implemented to manage and control the dynamics of traffic flows both in urban road networks and freeway networks. Meanwhile, typical performance evaluation metrics, solution methods, examples of simulations, and applications related to MPC-based TSC approaches are reported. More importantly, this paper summarizes the recent developments and the research trends in coordination and control of traffic networks with MPC-based TSC approaches. Remaining challenges and open issues are discussed towards the end of this paper to discover potential future research directions.
Constraint on the maximum mass of neutron stars using GW170817 event

We revisit the constraint on the maximum mass of cold spherical neutron stars coming from the observational results of GW170817. We develop a new framework for the analysis by employing both energy and angular momentum conservation laws as well as solid results of latest numerical-relativity simulations and of neutron stars in equilibrium. The new analysis shows that the maximum mass of cold spherical neutron stars can be only weakly constrained as $M_{\rm max} \alt 2. 3M_\odot$. Our present result illustrates that the merger remnant neutron star at the onset of collapse to a black hole is not necessarily rapidly rotating and shows that we have to take into account the angular momentum conservation law to impose the constraint on the maximum mass of neutron stars.
Factors Influencing Disciplinary Committee Effectiveness: The Case Of Public Secondary Schools In Ondo State, Nigeria

The study investigated the factors influencing the effectiveness of the Disciplinary Committee in schools, using Public Secondary Schools in Ondo State, Nigeria. Descriptive-survey design was adopted. The 304 Public Secondary Schools in the state were the main population while Principals and Vice-Principals of the schools were targets. Multistage, stratified, and simplerandom sampling techniques were adopted to select 40 secondary schools for the study. Three questions and three hypotheses guided this study. A questionnaire, validated, and tested for reliability(r-0.85), and structured on 4-point Likert Scale, was used to collect data, which were analyzed using frequency distribution table, mean, and SPSS package. Hypotheses were tested using the chi-square statistic at 0.05 level of significance. The study found a lack of/inadequate experience of committee members, leakage of information, favoritism in the administration of justice on offenders, among others as factors influencing the effectiveness of the committee. The need for committee members to be allowed to work without interference, cooperation of teachers with members; and provision of in-service training for members, to mention a few, are recommended.
Historical voices, collective memory and interdiscursive trauma in the legal order

This study examines how collective memory and cultural trauma inhere in the multimodal interplay between macro structures of space-time and microcosmic action. Using a criminal trial as data, we show how collective memories and cultural sentiments function in the multimodal details of poetic oratory and emotionally charged speech to frame evidence, construct legal identity and shape the interpretation of testimony. Legal actors integrate language, gesture and gaze to shift the plane of legal reality into a sacred performance, a solemn and co-operative ritual that contains thoroughly unveiled allusions to the assassinations of President John F Kennedy and Senator Robert F Kennedy. In so doing, lawyers and witness co-construct an emergent space for jurors to step into history and connect to national tragedy as a socio-legal strategy.
Does Gender Impact How Subordinates View Their Supervisors

Past research has found that gender impacts how satisfied subordinates are with their leader. Leadership style, sexism, difference score between ideal supervisor and their supervisor, and leader member exchange (LMX) were assessed to understand the relationship between gender and satisfaction with supervisor. It was hypothesized that subordinates would be more critical of women than men because of views on gender roles, and that the gender of the subordinate would further impact how women were scored. The results of this study indicated that gender was not a significant indicator of how satisfied subordinates are with their supervisor. Furthermore, past research has found that women tend to have more transformational traits, while men tend to have more transactional traits; this was not supported by the data. LMX, followed by transformational leadership, followed by transactional traits were found to be the most predictive of satisfaction with subordinate’s supervisor regardless of gender. Limitations, implications, and directions for future research are discussed.

Constant Switching Frequency State Feedback Control of Cascaded H bridge Multilevel Inverter with Reduced Switches

This paper presents a constant switching frequency state feedback control of a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. The inverter topology consists of a number of full-bridge cells, each equipped with a transformer, connected in parallel to a single dc source. The turns ratio of one transformer is modified to 1: 2 which reduces the number of components required to generate an N-level waveform, thus decreasing the size and cost of the inverter. Level shifted multi-carrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique is modified for application to this topology such that each bridge generates a PWM output waveform. For closed loop operation of the inverter, state feedback control is applied to drive the inverter output to the desired operating point. The control law is derived using state space modelling of the inverter and is used as the modulating signal in PWM technique so as to generate a constant switching frequency closed loop operation of the inverter. The inverter operation is verified using PSCAD-EMTDC. Results are presented both for open loop and voltage controlled mode of operation. The working of the controller is verified with step changes in load, reference value and, dc-link voltage.
Continued Use of Illicit Substance among Methadone Treatment Patients in Primary Health Care Clinics in East Coast Region of Malaysia

ABSTRACT Studies investigating the continued use of illicit substances among patients in Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) programs are limited. This study aimed to determine the association of methadone dose with illicit substance misuse among MMT patients in East Coast Region of Malaysia. Validated substance use pattern questionnaire was used to fulfill the study objectives. 55% (n = 130/237) of the respondents received a ≤ 50 mg methadone dose daily. Low methadone dose (≤50 mg/daily) was associated with opiate use in the last 30 days, while high methadone dose (>50 mg/daily) was associated with methamphetamine injection in the last 30 days (OR: 1.97; 1.01–3.82; p< .044). An optimum methadone maintenance dose is deemed appropriate to reduce use of illicit opiates, and necessary psychosocial intervention to reduce methamphetamine injection behavior is suggested.

Experimental Theology: Theological Anthropology and the Psychological Sciences

The theology and psychology “conversation” is currently constrained by a series of seemingly intractable difficulties, ranging from competing methodological commitments to assumptions about theological projects not being vulnerable to empirical verification or falsifiability. This article suggests that a thoroughgoing experimental theology has the capacity to move beyond a conversational paradigm in ways that current approaches simply do not allow, especially as it concerns an interdisciplinary understanding of what it means to be human. It suggests that Experimental Theology (ET) conceives of “conversation” only as a starting point for interdisciplinary projects; grounds theological theories empirically; and advances both psychological and theological research in new and substantive ways, and toward new ends.
Leveraging the Deep Learning Paradigm for Continuous Affect Estimation from Facial Expressions

Continuous affect estimation from facial expressions has attracted increased attention in the affective computing research community. This paper presents a principled framework for estimating continuous affect from video sequences. Based on recent developments, we address the problem of continuous affect estimation by leveraging the Bayesian filtering paradigm, i.e., considering affect as a latent dynamical system corresponding to a general feeling of pleasure with a degree of arousal, and recursively estimating its state using a sequence of visual observations. To this end, we advance the state-of-the-art as follows: (i) Canonical face representation (CFR): a novel algorithm for two-dimensional face frontalization, (ii) Convex unsupervised representation learning (CURL): a novel frequency-domain convex optimization algorithm for unsupervised training of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN)s, and (iii) Deep extended Kalman filtering (DEKF): an extended Kalman filtering-based algorithm for affect estimation from a sequence of CNN observations. The performance of the resulting CFR-CURL-DEKF algorithmic framework is empirically evaluated on publicly available benchmark datasets for facial expression recognition (CK+) and continuous affect estimation (AVEC 2012 and 2014).
