The effects of jumping distance on the landing mechanics after a volleyball spike

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of jumping distance on the landing mechanics after a volleyball spike, to help in injury prevention and training for safer landing. Ground reaction forces and three-dimensional kinematic data were collected from six male university right-handed volleyball players under “Normal” and “Long” jumping distance conditions of landing after a spike. The results revealed that the landings under the Long jumping distance condition produced significantly greater centre of gravity velocities and larger mean loading rates. Although data were collected for bilateral landings with the two feet contacting the force platform at the same time, landing motion was asymmetric and the left leg was considered to play a more critical role in the absorption of the landing impact. The trunk and hip positions at the initial contact with the floor and the range of motions of the knee and ankle were key kinematic parameters for reducing the vertical peak ground reaction forces and extending the time from the initial contact to the occurrence of this peak force, which consequently reduced the mean loading rate upon landing.

Tracheoesophageal speech following transmucosal pharyngeal myotomy with the potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser

Abstract Successful communication following laryngectomy usually involves an electrolarynx or oesophageal speech. Only within the past decade has tracheoesophageal puncture been advocated for alaryngeal speech and evolved into the procedure of choice. Successful production of speech after total laryngectomy using tracheoesophageal speech may be impaired secondary to anatomical and functional difficulties. The primary limitation of tracheoesophageal speech is pharyngoesophageal spasm occurring in the upper oesophageal sphincter impeding airflow through this segment. Our report presents four patients who underwent a pharyngeal myotomy with the potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser. Post-operatively, each patient was able to communicate with functional alaryngeal speech. A transmucosal pharyngeal myotomy may represent an alternative for patients with speech failure after tracheoesophageal puncture.
Effects of micronised wood powder irradiated with ultraviolet light and exposed to ozone gas on in vitro ruminal fermentation in beef cattle

In in vitro ruminal fermentation, micronised wood powder is digested to produce volatile fatty acids, but its fermentability is weak. The aim of the present study was to ascertain a suitable pretreatment of micronised wood powder to enhance volatile fatty acid production in vitro. Rumen fluid taken from beef cattle was anaerobically incubated with micronised wood powder. Initially, effects of particle size of micronised wood powder on ruminal fermentation were examined. Volatile fatty acid production was then evaluated by slightly reducing methanol-soluble substances such as lignin in micronised wood powder. Further, micronised wood powder that had been irradiated by an ozone lamp (185 and 254 nm) or sterilisation lamp (254 nm) was fermented in rumen fluid. The lack of volatile fatty acid production by rumen fermentation of untreated micronised wood powder was not associated with its particle size. In the methanol-treated micronised wood powder, volatile fatty acid production was increased, and this response was sensitively dose-dependent. Moreover, pretreatment by ozone lamp irradiation stimulated micronised wood powder fermentation and resulted in increased volatile fatty acid concentrations, especially of acetate and propionate. The response to ozone-treatment of micronised wood powder increased propionate more than acetate. In addition, this pretreatment of micronised wood powder to improve rumen fermentation was superior to that with a sterilisation lamp (254 nm). Therefore, the ruminal fermentability of micronised wood powder was not dependent on its particle size. The present study suggested that irradiation by ozone lamp is useful to enhance micronised wood powder digestibility and that this treated powder may become a lignified biomass feedstuff capable of volatile fatty acid production in ruminants. *Correspondence to: Dr. Yoshio Hamano, Field Education and Research Center, Faculty of Bioresource Sciences, Akita Prefectural University, Ohgata, Akita 010045, Japan; E-mail: yhamano@akita-pu.ac. jp
Size and Focus of a Venture Capitalist's Portfolio

We take a portfolio approach to analyze the investment strategy of a venture capitalist (VC) and show that portfolio size and scope affect both the entrepreneurs' and the VC's incentives to exert effort. A small portfolio improves entrepreneurial incentives because it allows the VC to concentrate the limited human capital on a smaller number of startups, adding more value. A large and focused portfolio is beneficial because it allows the VC to reallocate the limited resources and human capital in the case of startup failure and allows the VC to extract greater rents from the entrepreneurs. We show that the VC finds it optimal to limit portfolio size when startups have higher payoff potential--that is, when providing strong entrepreneurial incentives is most valuable. The VC expands portfolio size only when startup fundamentals are more moderate and when he can form a sufficiently focused portfolio. Finally, we show that the VC may find it optimal to engage in portfolio management by divesting some of the startups early since this strategy allows him to extract a greater surplus.

A Systematic Analysis System for CT Liver Image Classification and Image Segmentation by Local Entropy Method

Image Segmentation is an important procedure in many applications of image processing. Computed Tomography (CT) images have been widely used for liver disease systematic analysis approach. The liver segmentation from CT image is the most basic and important technology for the following process. A CT liver image extract the CT liver boundary and further classify liver diseases. The System comprises a Detect Before Extract (DBE) technique which automatically finds the liver boundary. By using the property of local entropy method, a liver CT image segmentation method has been proposed, that can extracts the edge of the liver CT image. Then use the morphological method to detect the object regions. From the contour modification algorithm and local entropy method, can obtain the liver image and to find the cancer location of the
Sparse and shrunken estimates of MRI networks in the brain and their influence on network properties

Estimation of morphometric relationships between cortical regions is a widely used approach to identify and characterize structural connectivity. The elevated number of regions that can be considered in a whole-brain correlation analysis might lead to overfitted models. However, the overfitting can be avoided by using regularization methods. We found that, as expected, non-regularized correlations had low variability when a scarce number of variables were considered. However, a slight increase of variables led to an increase of variance of several magnitude orders. On the other hand, the regularized approaches showed more stable results with a relative low variance at the expense of a little bias. Interestingly, topological properties as local and global efficiency estimated in networks constructed from traditional non-regularized correlations also showed higher variability when compared to those from regularized networks. Our findings suggest that a population-based connectivity study can achieve a more robust description of cortical topology through regularization of the correlation estimates. Four regularization methods were examined: Two with shrinkage (Ridge and Schäfer’s shrinkage), one with sparsity (Lasso) and one with both shrinkage and sparsity (Elastic net). Furthermore, the different regularizations resulted in different correlation estimates as well as network properties. The shrunken estimates resulted in lower variance of the estimates than the sparse estimates.
Automatic Detection of the Carotid Artery Location from Volumetric Ultrasound Images Using Anatomical Position-Dependent LBP Features

We propose a fully automatic method for detecting the carotid artery from volumetric ultrasound images as a preprocessing stage for building three-dimensional images of the structure of the carotid artery. The proposed detector utilizes support vector machine classifiers to discriminate between carotid artery images and non-carotid artery images using two kinds of LBP-based features. The detector switches between these features depending on the anatomical position along the carotid artery. We evaluate our proposed method using actual clinical cases. Accuracies of detection are 100%, 87.5% and 68.8% for the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, and external carotid artery sections, respectively. key words: ultrasound, carotid artery, detection, support vector machine, local binary patterns
Maximum likelihood time of arrival estimation for real-time physical location tracking of 802.11a/g mobile stations in indoor environments

This paper describes a new method of time of arrival (TOA) estimation for OFDM signals in indoor multipath environments for application to location tracking systems based on time difference of arrival. The problem addressed is to estimate the line of sight (LOS) time delay between the transmitter and the receiver when the intervening multipath channel is not known. In our approach, we do not attempt to determine the detailed multipath structure of the channel but, instead, use statistical knowledge of the multipath environment to aid in the estimation of the single parameter of real interest. We separate the gross time delay (LOS time delay) from the fine multipath structure of the channel. We then assume a statistical model of the multipath structure and develop the maximum likelihood estimator of the LOS time delay under the assumed model. Analytical development reduces the estimator to an efficient form in which most of the computational effort is done off line. Simulation results are presented which compare the performance of the new estimator to one which uses the well-known MODE technique for estimating the TOA and the new estimator is shown to compare favorably, especially as the number of paths increases. The simulations also show that the estimator is robust to variations in the assumed statistical model.
Near-Field Communication: It Pays: Mobile payment systems explained and explored.

The exchanging of goods for a recognized symbol of value called currency has occurred on our planet for tens of thousands of years. The concept has stayed the same: an object represents a set value that is exchanged for goods and services. The object is then reused for other goods and services, with the object's value set by the local or international level of a group of individuals, which sets the value through a complex set of value or trust factors. At one time, precious metals were used, like gold and silver, and then we progressed, first to paper money, specialized paper notes issued by a regulatory body; then checks, paper notes that reference a local bank; and credit cards, plastic cards with identifiers that represent banks or credit-issuing institutions as well as the individual borrower of the credit. The inherent problem still existed that if the paper money, checks, or credit card were lost, stolen, or copied, the individual would lose the value, or "net worth", of his or her economic buying power. Multiple ideas have been pursued to strengthen the security of exchanging these trust-based tokens of material wealth. An idea that has been explored since the late 1960s (roughly 1968) is the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology.
SeqTrace: a graphical tool for rapidly processing DNA sequencing chromatograms.

Modern applications of Sanger DNA sequencing often require converting a large number of chromatogram trace files into high-quality DNA sequences for downstream analyses. Relatively few nonproprietary software tools are available to assist with this process. SeqTrace is a new, free, and open-source software application that is designed to automate the entire workflow by facilitating easy batch processing of large numbers of trace files. SeqTrace can identify, align, and compute consensus sequences from matching forward and reverse traces, filter low-quality base calls, and end-trim finished sequences. The software features a graphical interface that includes a full-featured chromatogram viewer and sequence editor. SeqTrace runs on most popular operating systems and is freely available, along with supporting documentation, at http://seqtrace.googlecode. com/.
Zur Lehre vom Wesen und zur Methode der eidetischen Variation : Texte aus dem Nachlass (1891-1935)

Grundlegend fur Husserls Phanomenologie sind die beiden Methoden der eidetischen und der phanomenologischen Reduktion. Fur den Band wurden Forschungsmanuskripte zur Lehre vom Wesen ausgewahlt, die Husserl zwischen 1891 und 1935 verfasste. Analog zu den Phasen, in denen er seine Lehre modifizierte, ist der Band in 5 Teile gegliedert. Damit dokumentiert diese erste Veroffentlichung zu Husserls Eidetik alle Phasen und systematischen Schwerpunkte: von den Anfangen bis zur Abfassung der Krisis mit Texten aus bislang unveroffentlichten Manuskripten.

Thermodynamic Effects on Organismal Performance: Is Hotter Better?

Despite decades of research on the evolution of thermal physiology, at least one fundamental issue remains unresolved: whether the maximal performance of a genotype depends on its optimal temperature. One school argues that warm‐adapted genotypes will outperform cold‐adapted genotypes because high temperatures inevitably accelerate chemical reactions. Yet another school holds that biochemical adaptation can compensate for thermodynamic effects on performance. Here, we briefly discuss this theoretical debate and then summarize empirical studies that address whether hotter is better. In general, comparative and experimental studies support the view that hotter is better. Furthermore, recent modeling has shown that thermodynamic constraints impose unique selective pressures on thermal sensitivity. Nevertheless, the thermodynamic effect on maximal performance varies greatly among traits and taxa, suggesting the need to develop a more sophisticated view of thermodynamic constraints.
Self-routing of 100-Gb/s optical packets using self serial-to-parallel conversion-based label recognition

Bit-by-bit label recognition for 100-Gb/s optical packets based on self serial-to-parallel conversion (self-SPC) was demonstrated using an ultrafast all-optical switch-based SPC module controlled by a packet-level single-pulse generator with a photoconductive sample-and-hold circuit. Also demonstrated was 1/spl times/4 optical packet self-routing based on two-bit label recognition by the self-SPC.
Discovering long‐term potentiation (LTP) – recollections and reflections on what came after

Chance events led me to a lifelong career in scientific research. They paved the way for being the first to see long‐term potentiation of synaptic efficiency (LTP) in Per Andersen's laboratory in Oslo in 1966. Here I describe my way to this discovery and the experiments with Tim Bliss in 1968–1969 that led to Bliss and Lømo, 1973. Surprisingly, we later failed to reproduce these results. I discuss possible reasons for this failure, which made us both leave LTP research, in my case for good, in Tim's case for several years. After 30 years of work in a different field, I renewed my interest in the hippocampus and LTP in the early 2000s and published, for the first time, results that I had obtained 40 years earlier. Here I present my take on how interest in and research on LTP evolved after the early years. This includes a discussion of the functions of hippocampus as seen in those early days, the case of patient H.M. , Donald Hebb's place in the story, the search for ‘memory molecules’ such as PKMζ, and the primary site for LTP expression (pre‐ and/or post‐synaptic? ). Throughout, I reflect on my life in science, how science is done and what drives it. The reflections are quite personal and I admit to mixed feelings about broadcasting them.
Neuronal oxidative damage from activated innate immunity is EP2 receptor‐dependent

Increase in prostaglandin (PG) E2 levels and oxidative damage are associated with diseases of brain that involve activation of innate immunity. We tested the hypothesis that cerebral oxidative damage resulting from activation of innate immunity with intracerebroventricular (icv) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is dependent on PGE2‐mediated signaling. We measured two quantitative in vivo biomarkers of lipid peroxidation: F2‐isoprostanes (IsoPs) that derive from arachidonic acid (AA) that is uniformly distributed in all cell types in brain, and F4‐neuroprostanes (NeuroPs) that derive from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that is highly concentrated in neuronal membranes. LPS stimulated delayed elevations in cerebral F2‐IsoPs and F4‐NeuroPs that were completely suppressed by indomethacin or ibuprofen pre‐treatment. LPS‐induced cerebral oxidative damage was abolished by disruption of subtype 2 receptor for PGE2 (EP2). In contrast, initial oxidative damage from icv kainic acid (KA) was more rapid than with LPS also was completely suppressed by indomethacin or ibuprofen pre‐treatment but was independent of EP2 receptor activation. The protective effect of deleting the EP2 receptor was not associated with changes in cerebral eicosaniod production, but was partially related to reduced induction of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity. These results suggest the EP2 receptor as a therapeutic target to limit oxidative damage from activation of innate immunity in cerebrum.
Effect of Inoculum Size on Detection of Candida Growth by the BACTEC 9240 Automated Blood Culture System Using Aerobic and Anaerobic Media

ABSTRACT Simulated candidemia was produced with 20 Candida isolates at three inoculum sizes (100, 10, and 1 CFU/ml of blood). Growth detection was better with larger inocula. The time to growth detection was shorter with larger inocula. Inoculum size does effect Candida growth detection and time to detection in BACTEC 9240 automated systems.
Effect of Parainfluenza-3 Neuraminidase on Bovine Nasal Secretion

Three samples of bovine nasal secretion were each separated into a sol phase and a surface gel phase. In all samples, the gel phase contained an approximately four times greater amount of bound N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) than the sol phase. From the gel phase, bound NANA could be released by exposure to parainfluenza-3 virus neuraminidase. The surface gel appears to be a natural substrate for this enzyme.
The &Apos;Pupil&Apos; Factory: Specialization and the Production of Human Capital in Schools

Starting in the 2013-2014 school year, I conducted a randomized field experiment in fifty traditional public elementary schools in Houston, Texas designed to test the potential productivity benefits of teacher specialization in schools. Treatment schools altered their schedules to have teachers specialize in a subset of subjects in which they have demonstrated relative strength (based on value-add measures and principal observations). The average impact of teacher specialization on student achievement is -0.042 standard deviations in math and -0.034 standard deviations in reading, per year. Students enrolled in special education and those with younger teachers demonstrated marked negative results. I argue that the results are consistent with a model in which the benefits of specialization driven by sorting teachers into a subset of subjects based on comparative advantage is outweighed by inefficient pedagogy due to having fewer interactions with each student. Consistent with this, specialized teachers report providing less attention to individual students (relative to non-specialized teachers), though other mechanisms are possible.
