Long Time Behavior of Entire Solutions to Bistable Reaction Diﬀusion Equations

The ﬁrst aim in the paper is to prove the local exponential asymptotic stability of some entire solutions to bistable reaction diﬀusion equations via the super-sub solution method. If the integral of the reaction term f over the interval [0 , 1] is positive, we not only obtain the similar asymptotic stability result found by Yagisita in 2003, but also simplify the proof. The asymptotic stability result for the case (cid:82) 1 0 f ( u ) du < 0 is also obtained, which is not considered by Yagisita. After that, the asymptotic behavior of entire solutions as t → + ∞ is investigated, since the other side was completely known. Here, the result is established by use of the asymptotic stability of constant solutions and pairs of diverging traveling front solutions, instead of constructing the super-sub solutions as usual. Finally, for the special bistable case f ( u ) = u (1 − u )( u − α ), α ∈ (0 , 1), we prove the entire solution continuously depends on α .
The Trajectory of IT in Healthcare at HICSS: A Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions

Research has extensively demonstrated that healthcare industry has rapidly implemented and adopted information technology in recent years. Research in health information technology (HIT), which represents a major component of the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, demonstrates similar findings. In this paper, review the literature to better understand the work on HIT that researchers have conducted in HICSS from 2008 to 2017. In doing so, we identify themes, methods, technology types, research populations, context, and emerged research gaps from the reviewed literature. With much change and development in the HIT field and varying levels of adoption, this review uncovers, catalogs, and analyzes the research in HIT at HICSS in this ten-year period and provides future directions for research in the field.
Brain that correlate with effects of learning on auditory distance

Accuracy in auditory distance perception can improve with practice and varies for sounds differing in familiarity. Here, listeners were trained to judge the distances of English, Bengali, and backwards speech sources pre-recorded at near (2-m) and far (30-m) distances. Listeners’ accuracy was tested before and after training. Improvements from pre-test to post-test were greater for forward speech, demonstrating a learning advantage for forward speech sounds. Independent component (IC) processes identiﬁed in electroencephalographic (EEG) data collected during pre- and post-testing revealed three clusters of ICs across subjects with stimulus-locked spectral perturbations related to learning and accuracy. One cluster exhibited a transient stimulus-locked increase in 4–8 Hz power (theta event-related synchronization; ERS) that was smaller after training and largest for backwards speech. For a left temporal cluster, 8–12 Hz decreases in power (alpha event-related desynchronization; ERD) were greatest for English speech and less prominent after training. In contrast, a cluster of IC processes centered at or near anterior portions of the medial frontal cortex showed learning-related enhancement of sustained increases in 10–16 Hz power (upper-alpha/low-beta ERS). The degree of this enhancement was positively correlated with the degree of behavioral improvements. Results suggest that neural dynamics in non-auditory cortical areas support distance judgments. Further, frontal cortical networks associated with attentional and/or working memory processes appear to play a role in perceptual learning for source distance.
Fuel Consumption Monitoring System Using Control Signal and Characteristic Correlations of Fuel Injector

Objectives of this study are (i) to investigate characteristics of a fuel injector and to establish the characteristic correlation for correcting the fuel injection rate calculated from the control signal of a fuel injector, and (ii) to design and fabricate the fuel consumption monitoring system by measuring the control signal of a fuel injector in conjunction with considering the obtained characteristic correlation to enhance accuracy of the measured fuel consumption rate. The characteristics of a fuel injector (maximum fuel injection rate of 270 cm 3 /min), e.g., engine speeds, percentages of injector’s duty cycle, and pressure differences between fuel rail and intake manifold, were experimentally investigated on a test set in the laboratory. The study found that when the engine speed increased, the fuel injection rate increased. When the percentages of injector’s duty cycle increased, the increasing ratio was less than the one-to-one increasing ratio as a case of the ideal. Moreover, when the pressure difference increased, the fuel injection rate increased. After that, the fuel consumption monitoring system was designed and fabricated based on the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. Trip distance was measured by a GPS module. The real-time fuel consumption rate could be shown on a LCD display. All recorded data were stored onto a SD card for further data analysis. Finally, the on-road-test validation was conducted by on the 2011 Mitsubishi Triton installed with the 4-cylinder gasoline engine with total displacement of 2,351 cm 3 . It was found from that the average discrepancy of the measured fuel volume was ± 1.88% compared to the actual fuel volume obtained by measuring a decreasing volume of consumed fuel.
HH110 Jet Near Infrared Imaging. I. The Outflow Mixing Layer

Near infrared images are presented of the Herbig-Haro 110 jet centered at the molecular hydrogen lines. The ratio of these lines provides a preliminary diagnostic of molecular gas excitation, which is expected from low velocity shocks and turbulent processes. It is suggested that the morphological properties of the molecular hydrogen emission are consistent with that of a boundary layer.
Promotes Histone H3 Phosphorylation on Serine-10

FSH promoted the rapid phosphorylation of the nuclear protein histone H3 in immature rat ovarian granulosa cells under experimental conditions that lead to cellular differentiation and not proliferation. FSH-stimulated histone H3 phosphorylation corre-lated with cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation and translocation of the PKA catalytic subunit to a nuclear-enriched fraction and was inhibited by the PKA inhibitor H89, and histone H3 phosphorylation was stimulated in cells treated with agents that raise intracellular cAMP levels such as forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP. FSH-stimulated histone H3 phosphorylation in granulosa cells mapped to ser-10, a site previously identified as the PKA phosphorylation site in various mitotically active cells as the mitosis-specific phosphorylation site. Injection of the FSH analog PMSG to immature rats, which is known to stimulate granulosa cell proliferation as well as differentiation, also promoted histone H3 phosphorylation on ser-10 in granulosa cells. These results establish that FSH-stimulated histone H3 phosphorylation in granulosa cells is linked not only to granulosa cell mitosis but also to granulosa cell differentiation and that FSH-stimulated histone H3 phosphorylation on ser-10 in isolated granulosa cells is mediated by PKA. These results also identify the PKA-dependent histone H3 phosphorylation as an early nuclear protein marker for FSH-stimulated differentiation of granulosa cells. Based on the recently described function of histone H3 as a coactivator of transcription, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that phosphorylated histone H3 may fa-cilitate PKA-dependent gene transcription in granulosa cells leading to the preovulatory phenotype. (Molecular Endocrinology 13: 91–105, 1999) of the 16-kDa phosphoprotein — molecular mass, insolubility in 8 M urea, solubility in high salt, and apparent basic isoelectric point (pI) — are consistent with the characteristics of histones (27).
Chromium(III) and its Inorganic Compounds

number of mutations, chromosomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges in mammalian cells. The uptake of chromium(III) oxide particles by the cells was determined with an electron microscope. exposure to inorganic chromium(III) compounds, for example in a number of case reports of sensitization in workers exposed to leather tanned with chromium(III). Positive results from the patch testing of patients with suspected intolerance to leather tanned with chromium(III) are only of very limited use for the evaluation. Negative findings were obtained with poorly soluble inorganic chro-mium(III) compounds. In animal experiments not carried out in accordance with test guidelines, positive results were obtained with chromium(III) chloride and basic chromium(III) sulfate, especially where intradermal induction and challenge were used. Su ﬃ ciently soluble inorganic chromium(III) compounds can, therefore, produce contact sensitization. They are therefore designated with an “ Sh ” , although their sensitization potential is considered to be low as a result of their low penetration ability. The low number of findings for respiratory sensitization shows that allergic airway reactions to inorganic chromium(III) compounds are presumably very rare, even when exposure is present. Inorganic chromium(III) compounds are not, therefore, designated with an “ Sa ” .

Finally, we give an overview over the hyperparameter search spaces and the best hyperparameters found in the second experiment on the 102-Flowers data set [11].
Inﬂuence of the Curing and Annealing Temperatures on the Properties of Solution Processed Tin Oxide Thin Films

: We report the effect of the curing (T curing ) and annealing (T anneal ) temperatures on the structural, electrical, and optical properties of solution processed tin oxide. T anneal was varied from 300 to 500 ◦ C, and T curing from 200 ◦ C to T anneal . All T anneal lead to a polycrystalline phase, but the amorphous phase was observed at T anneal = 300 ◦ C and T curing ranging from 250 to 300 ◦ C. This could be explained by the melting point of the precursor (SnCl 2 ), occurring at 250 ◦ C. The crystallinity can be effectively controlled by the annealing temperature, but the curing temperature dramatically affects the grain size. We can reach grain sizes from 5–10 nm (T curing = 200 ◦ C and T anneal = 300 ◦ C) to 30–50 nm (T curing = 500 ◦ C and T anneal = 500 ◦ C). At a ﬁxed T anneal , Hall mobilities, carrier concentration, and conductivity increased with the curing temperature. The Hall mobility was in the range of 1 to 9.4 cm 2 /Vs, the carrier concentration was 10 18 to 10 19 cm − 3 , and the conductivity could reach ~20 S/cm when the grain size was 30–50 nm. The optical transmittance, the optical bandgap, the refractive index, and the extinction coefﬁcient were also analyzed and they show a correlation with the annealing process.
PHOSPHORUS AND MICRONUTRIENTS FERTILIZATION IMPACT ON FABA BEAN PRODUCTIVITY ( Vicia faba L.)

: This investigation was carried out in a demonstrated field at Al-Ibrahimia district, El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, during 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 winter seasons to study the impact of three phosphorus levels (check, 15.5 and 31 kg P 2 O 5 /fad.) and five micronutrient spraying treatments [Zn, Mn, Fe, Zn + Mn + Fe and control (tap water)] on faba bean yield ( Vicia faba L. cv. Giza 843) and seed protein content. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: Raising phosphorus level to 31 kg P 2 O 5 /fad. , significantly increased number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and plant, as well as seed and stover yields per fad. Whereas , 100-seed weight and seed protein content were significantly decreased. However, plant height was not significantly affected by phosphorus levels. Micronutrients spraying reflected significant increase in seed yield and yield attributes. The foliar application of any of the following micronutrient treatments i.e. Mn, Fe and Zn + Mn + Fe had significant effect on seed yield per fad. , while, micronutrient spraying treatments had insignificant effect on number of branches per plant and seed protein content compared with the control treatment. The interaction between the two factors had significant effects on yield and its components, where the highest seed yield per fad. , (13.79 ardab) was achieved by addition of 31 kg P 2 O 5 /fad. , with Mn foliar application (0.4 g/l).
Characterization of the Ejector Pump Performance for the Assisted Bidirectional Glenn Procedure

: This study introduces an algebraic model informed by computational ﬂuid dynamics (CFD) simulations to investigate the performance of the assisted bidirectional Glenn (ABG) operation on a broad range of conditions. The performance of this operation, as measured by the superior vena cava (SVC) pressure, depends on the nozzle area in its ejector pump and the patient’s pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Using the developed algebraic model to explore this two-dimensional parameter space shows that the ejector pump can create a pressure difference between the pulmonary artery and the SVC as high as 5 mmHg. The lowest SVC pressure is produced at a nozzle area that decreases linearly with the PVR such that, at PVR = 4.2 (Wood units-m 2 ), there is no added beneﬁt in utilizing the ejector pump effect (optimal nozzle area is zero, corresponding to the bidirectional Glenn circulation). At PVR = 2 (Wood units-m 2 ), the SVC pressure can be lowered to less than 4 mmHg by using an optimal nozzle area of ≈ 2.5 mm 2 . Regardless of the PVR, adding a 2 mm 2 nozzle to the baseline bidirectional Glenn boosts the oxygen saturation and delivery by at least 15%. The SVC pressure for that 2 mm 2 nozzle remains below 14 mmHg for all PVRs less than 7 Wood units-m 2 . The mechanical efﬁciency of the optimal designs consistently remains below 30%, indicating the potential for improvement in the future. A good agreement is observed between the algebraic model and high-ﬁdelity CFD simulations. delivery These results
Reporting and Analyzing Student Behavior in 3D Virtual Worlds

—Virtual Worlds are open 3D environments capable of simulating a variety of educational practices, thus reducing risks and costs with physical laboratories. However, its freedom characteristic can cause dispersion and make it difficult to navigate and focus. Aiming at improving user navigation, this paper analyzes a Heads Up Display (HUD) solution that keeps sensing the locations visited by the user, and presents it in the form of a “heat map”. The main contribution has two sides: 1) a reporting system is presented, which allows teachers to easily keep up with students’ behavior in the environment; 2) an analysis of experimental data has been performed, focusing on the extent and intensity of content observation, with the purpose of presenting the potential of the HUD to act as a guidance tool in educational Virtual Worlds.
Periorbital Dermatitis: The Role of Type 1 and Type 4 Hypersensitivity as Contributing Factors

Background: Periorbital dermatitis is common and may be a manifestation of either allergic or non-allergic diseases. Objectives: In this study, we investigated the role of type 1 and type 4 hypersensivity as etiologic factors on periorbital dermatitis and we explored whether the prognosis was associated with the etiology. Methods: Data of sixty patients who had referred with eyelid dermatitis and had undergone patch testing between January 2014 and January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Patients have been diagnosed as Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) (28,3%), Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD) (51,6%), atopic dermatitis (8,3%), Seborrheic Dermatitis (8,3%), Periocular Rosacea (3,3%), and Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) (1,6%). Atopy history was present in 21,7% of patients. Positive prick test reactions were found in 9 patients (15%). The most prevalent allergens were house dust mites, grass mix, and cat dander. Patch test positivity for at least one allergen was found in 27 patients (45%). The most common clinically relevant allergens were detected as isothiazolinone (methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone), thiomersal, formaldehyde, p-phenylenediamine and dispers blue. Conclusion: Physicians should take into account the patients’ use of cosmetics and hygiene products as well as atopy history and should perform a general skin examination not to miss other dermatological conditions that may present as periorbital dermatitis. at Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital between January 2014 and January 2017. All patients’ important demographic and clinical information’s like age, sex, profession, presence or history of atopy (atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and asthma), duration of complaints, localization, the results of prick and patch tests and diagnosis had been recorded. Patch tests with standard series were performed with all the patients. After 48 hours, the patches were removed and assessed and readings were repeated 96 hours after tests began. For all the positive test results, the clinical relevance was investigated regarding the association between exposure and dermatitis. Prick tests included inhalant and food allergen panel and latex. Histamine was used as a positive control and saline was used as a negative control. The skin was evaluated after 20 min, and any wheal ≥3mm than the negative control was considered to indicate positivity. For the long term follow up, the patients were given a telephone call visit and evaluated for the regression of symptoms. Statistical analyses were performed with IBM SPSS version 22. Non parametric tests were used for the analysis of data, and the chi-square test and fisher exact test were used for the comparison of the data. A p-value <0,05 was considered to be statistically significant. period from January 2014 2017,
Investigations of Vacuoles Isolated from Tobacco

Nicotine was shown to be associated with mature vacuoles isolated from protoplasts of Nicotiana rustica The vacuolar preparations also contained high levels of acid phosphatase, ATPase, and approximately 30% of the soluble protoplastic protein. The contamination of the vacuolar isolate by chlorophyll, succinate dehydrogenase, and NADPH cytochrome c reductase (markers for chloroplasts, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum) was low. The enzymic activity associated with the vacuoles was not due to the exogenously supplied digestive enzymes used in the preparation of the protoplast. The relatively easy isolation of tobacco vacuoles makes this an excellent system for biochemical investigations of the vacuole.
Using Abdominal Binder for Reducing Postoperative Wound Pain after Cesarean Delivery: A randomized controlled trial

Objectives: To determine the effect of using abdominal binder after cesarean delivery on postoperative wound pain, physical function and analgesic drugs use. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted between January and April 2018 at KhonKaen Hospital. Fifty women who underwent elective cesarean delivery were randomly allocated to either the abdominal binder group or routine standard care. The primary outcome was postoperative wound pain as measured by a visual analog scale (VAS) scores at 6, 24, and 48 hours after using the binder. The secondary outcomes included physical function as measured by distance 6-minute walk test (6MWT), time to first ambulation, analgesic drugs use and adverse effects. Results: Postoperative wound pain was indicated by a significantly lower VAS score in the binder group with the repeated measures ANOVA (F= 30.78, p < 0.005). The respective postoperative VAS score at 6, 24, and 48 hours was also significantly lower in the binder group (mean ± SD at 6, 24, and 48 hr. = 4.77 ± 1.97, 3.73 ± 1.48, and 2.51 ± 1.63 vs. standard care 6.85 ± 2.26, 5.49 ± 2.34, and 4.66 ± 2.21; p < 0.05). Postoperative opioid drugs use in the binder group was significantly less than in the standard care (5.22 ± 1.20 mg vs. 7.63 ± 2.43 mg; p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the 6MWT and time to first ambulation between the two groups. No serious adverse effects were reported. Conclusion: Using abdominal binder can reduced pain and analgesic drugs used in postoperative cesarean delivery.
Original Generalized joint hypermobility in professional dancers: a sign of talent or vulnerability? RHEUMATOLOGY

Objective. To study the impact of generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) in professional dancers on physical fitness, musculoskeletal complaints and psychological distress. Methods. Thirty-six professional dancers were recruited and compared with control subjects (mean age 20.1, range 17 (cid:2) 27). Height, weight, Beighton score, physical fitness (walking distance, muscle strength, estimated VO 2 max), musculoskeletal complaints (pain, fatigue) and psychological distress (anx-iety, depression) were measured. Results. Univariate analysis revealed, in between-group analysis, that dancers (with and without GJH) had higher physical fitness [the six-minute walk test (6MWT): (cid:2) D = +8.4%, P = 0.001; VO 2 max: (cid:2) D = +12.8%, P = 0.01], fatigue (checklist individual strength: (cid:2) D = +80.3%, P < 0.0001) and greater psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale: (cid:2) D = +115.0%, P < 0.0001). When comparing dancers and control subjects with GJH to those without GJH, lower levels of physical fitness (muscle strength: (cid:2) D = (cid:2) 11.3%, P < 0.0001; 6MWT: (cid:2) D = (cid:2) 9.9%, P < 0.0001), more fatigue (checklist individual strength: (cid:2) D = +84.4%, P < 0.0001) and greater psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale: (cid:2) D = +79.6%, P < 0.0001) were observed in subjects with GJH. Multivariate analysis showed that dancers have higher levels of physical fitness (6MWT, P = 0.001; VO 2 max, P = 0.020); however, when taking GJH into account, this advantage disappeared, indicating lower levels of physical fitness in comparison with control subjects (6MWT, P = 0.001; muscle strength, P < 0.0001; VO 2 max, P = 0.040). Dancers experienced more fatigue ( P = 0.001) and psychological distress ( P < 0.0001). This was associated with even more fatigue ( P = 0.010) and psychological distress ( P = 0.040) when GJH was present. Conclusion. Dancers with GJH seem more vulnerable to musculoskeletal and psychological complaints. In addition, GJH was also associated with lower physical fitness, despite training. Caregivers for professional dancers should monitor closely the physical capabilities and the amount of psychological strain.
