Single‐pinhole confocal imaging of sub‐resolution sparse objects using experimental point spread function and image restoration

Sparse fluorescent pointlike subresolution objects have been imaged using a diffraction limited single‐pinhole confocal fluorescence microscope. A Maximum likelihood image restoration algorithm has been used in conjunction with a measure of the experimental point spread function for improving the three‐dimensional imaging of subresolution sparse objects. The experimental point‐spread‐function profiles have been improved by a factor of 1.95 in lateral direction and 3.75 in axial direction resulting in full‐width half maximum (FWHM) values of 91 ± 11 nm and 160 ± 26 nm. This amounts to 1.43 and 2.15 in optical units, respectively. The lateral and axial FWHM of the sparse pointlike subresolution objects is about 5 and 3 times smaller than the wavelength. This result points to the attractive possibility of utilising a compact confocal architecture for localising punctuate fluorescent objects having subresolution dimensions. The key resides in the utilisation of the measured point spread function coupled to an appropriate image restoration approach, and, of course, in the stability of the confocal system being used.

Policy analysis for online game addiction problems

With the worldwide popularity of online games, game addiction is a serious social issue. To address online game addiction problems and pursue the steady growth of the online gaming industry, we propose and evaluate two policies using a system dynamics approach: a self-regulation policy and a tax and rebate policy. Through our analysis, we demonstrate that the tax and rebate policy can be a very effective policy measure. Contrary to the concern of most game companies, by implementing the tax and rebate policy while the total revenue of the online gaming industry increases slightly, the social image of gaming improves and the number of addicted game users decreases. This clearly demonstrates that restricting excessive use of games actually benefits online game companies as well as society in general, and that the system can be more efficiently implemented by the tax and rebate policy.

GLP-1 and calcitonin concentration in humans: lack of evidence of calcitonin release from sequential screening in over 5000 subjects with type 2 diabetes or nondiabetic obese subjects treated with the human GLP-1 analog, liraglutide.

BACKGROUND Serum calcitonin (CT) is a well-accepted marker of C-cell proliferation, particularly in medullary thyroid carcinoma. Chronic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist administration in rodents has been associated with increased serum CT levels and C-cell tumor formation. There are no longitudinal studies measuring CT in humans without medullary thyroid carcinoma or a family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma and no published studies on the effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists on human serum CT concentrations. AIM The aim of the study was to determine serum CT response over time to the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus or nondiabetic obese subjects. METHODS Unstimulated serum CT concentrations were measured at 3-month intervals for no more than 2 yr in a series of trials in over 5000 subjects receiving liraglutide or control therapy. RESULTS Basal mean CT concentrations were at the low end of normal range in all treatment groups and remained low throughout the trials. At 2 yr, estimated geometric mean values were no greater than 1.0 ng/liter, well below upper normal ranges for males and females. Proportions of subjects whose CT levels increased above a clinically relevant cutoff of 20 ng/liter were very low in all groups. There was no consistent dose or time-dependent relationship and no consistent difference between treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS These data do not support an effect of GLP-1 receptor activation on serum CT levels in humans and suggest that findings previously reported in rodents may not apply to humans. However, the long-term consequences of GLP-1 receptor agonist treatment are a subject of further studies.
Arabidopsis Response Regulator1 and Arabidopsis Histidine Phosphotransfer Protein2 (AHP2), AHP3, and AHP5 Function in Cold Signaling1[W][OA]

The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) two-component signaling system, which is composed of sensor histidine kinases, histidine phosphotransfer proteins, and response regulators, mediates the cytokinin response and various other plant responses. We have previously shown that ARABIDOPSIS HISTIDINE KINASE2 (AHK2), AHK3, and cold-inducible type A ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORS (ARRs) play roles in cold signaling. However, the roles of type B ARRs and ARABIDOPSIS HISTIDINE PHOSPHOTRANSFER PROTEINS (AHPs) have not been investigated in cold signaling. Here, we show that ARR1 and AHP2, AHP3, and AHP5 play positive roles in the cold-inducible expression of type A ARRs. arr1 mutants showed greatly reduced cold-responsive expression of type A ARRs compared with the wild type, whereas ARR1-overexpressing Arabidopsis exhibited the hypersensitive cold response of type A ARRs as well as enhanced freezing tolerance with cytokinin, suggesting that ARR1 functions as a positive factor of cold signaling. Transgenic Arabidopsis expressing ARR1ΔDDK:GR lacking the amino-terminal receiver domain showed wild-type expression levels of type A ARRs in response to cold, indicating that the signal receiver domain of ARR1 might be important for cold-responsive expression of type A ARRs. ahp2 ahp3 ahp5 triple mutations greatly reduced type A ARR expression in response to cold, whereas the single or double ahp mutants displayed wild-type levels of ARR expression, suggesting that AHP2, AHP3, and AHP5 are redundantly involved in cold signaling. Taken together, these results suggest that ARR1 mediates cold signal via AHP2, AHP3, or AHP5 from AHK2 and AHK3 to express type A ARRs. We further identified a cold transcriptome affected by ahk2 ahk3 mutations by microarray analysis, revealing a new cold-responsive gene network regulated downstream of AHK2 and AHK3.
Increased Rate of Cori Cycle in Obese Subjects With NIDDM and Effect of Weight Reduction

To determine the contribution of the rate of glucose recycling via the Cori cycle (glucose→3-carbon compounds→glucose) to the higher rate of endogenous glucose production (EGPR) in subjects with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), we studied eight obese, weight-stabilized diabetic Pima Indians before [93.1 ± 5.4 kg, 38 ± 2% body fat, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 254 ± 11 mg/dl] and after (87.7 ± 4.7 kg, 36 ± 2% body fat, FPG 153 ± 17 mg/dl) a 5-wk weight-loss diet and eight obese Indians (95.0 ± 4.2 kg, 36 ± 2% body fat, FPG 97 ± 1 mg/dl) with normal glucose tolerance. EGPR and glucose recycling rate were measured during a 4-h primed continuous tracer infusion of [1-13C]glucose, and the rate of reincorporation of 1-13C of glucose into C2–6 positions in glucose was quantified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Substrate utilization rates were measured by simultaneous indirect calorimetry. EGPR (corrected for measured rate of recycling) decreased in the diabetic subjects from 3.80 to 2.74 mg·min−1·kg−1 fat-free mass (FFM) (P < .01) after weight loss, approaching the rate observed in nondiabetic subjects (2.09 mg·min−1·kg−1 FFM). The decrease in EGPR was associated with a decrease in nonoxidative carbohydrate disposal. Before weight loss, the measured rate of [1-13C]glucose recycling was higher in diabetic (0.23 ± 0.02 mg · min−1 · kg−1 FFM) than in nondiabetic (0.14 ± 0.01 mg min−1 · kg−1 FFM, P < .005) subjects. The glucose recycling rate did not change in diabetic subjects after weight loss (0.20 mg · min−1 · kg−1 FFM). We conclude that the rates of endogenous glucose production and the Cori cycle are increased in subjects with NIDDM compared with the rates observed in obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance. After a modest weight loss, the endogenous glucose production rate, but not the glucose recycling rate, in diabetic subjects approaches the rate observed in obese nondiabetic subjects.
Cellular migration associated with macular hole: a new method for comprehensive bird's-eye analysis of the internal limiting membrane.

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the pathogenesis of macular hole formation, focusing in particular on the possible role of cellular migration on the cortical vitreous and internal limiting membrane (ILM) around the macular hole. METHODS To gain a comprehensive overview of the ILM excised in macular hole surgery (n = 36), the ILMs were carefully unfolded and spread out onto glass slides as continuous flat sheets that each contained a macular hole. The specimens were observed by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (n = 9), and the cellular distribution was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy in a quantitative manner (n = 27). Immunohistochemistry for glial fibrillary acidic protein and cytokeratin 18 was carried out for cellular characterization. Cellular proliferation was assessed by immunohistochemistry for proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Ki-67. RESULTS Cellular migration was not apparent around the macular hole in the early stage of development of the macular hole (stage 2, 0 microm). As the macular hole passed through the later stages of development, cellular migration developed around the macular hole (stage 3, 84 microm) and the area of cellular migration gradually enlarged (stage 4, 420 microm). The immunophenotypic analysis showed that these cells were mainly glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive glial cells and cytokeratin 18-positive retinal pigment epithelial cells. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry showed that some of these cells were proliferating on the ILM. CONCLUSIONS Cellular migration on the ILM is not necessary for the initial formation of a macular break. Cellular migration developed after the macular break occurred, and the migration and proliferation increased gradually from the macular hole. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study provides a new method for understanding the ultrastructural analysis of the pathogenesis of the macular hole.
Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth: How the tragedy of the anticommons emerges in organizations

In organizations, conflict often revolves around commons resources because they are critical for influence, performance, and organizational survival. Research on property rights, territoriality, and social dilemmas suggests that to reduce such conflict, organizations should facilitate the (psychological) privatization of commons resources. We complement these three literatures by drawing from the legal, organizational, and social psychology literatures to model how psychologically privatizing organizational commons resources – to prevent a tragedy of the commons (an overuse problem) – can lead to the emergence of equivalently problematic tragedy in organizations: the tragedy of the anticommons (an underuse problem). Our model contributes to these literatures by conceptualizing a bottom-up behavioral process (in contrast to institutional allocation) of property distribution that leads to the emergence of the tragedy of the anticommons. The implications of this bottom-up behavioral process for property rights theory, territoriality theory, and the social dilemma paradigm are discussed.
193 MOPS/mW @ 162 MOPS, 0.32V to 1.15V voltage range multi-core accelerator for energy efficient parallel and sequential digital processing

Low power (mW) and high performance (GOPS) are strong requirements for compute-intensive signal processing in E-health, Internet-of-Things, and wearable applications. This work presents a building block for programmable Ultra-Low Power accelerators, namely a tightly-coupled computing cluster that supports parallel and sequential execution at high energy efficiency over a wide range of workload requirements. The cluster, implemented in 28nm UTBB FD-SOI technology, achieves peak energy efficiency in the near-threshold (NVT) operating region: 193 MOPS/mW at 162 MOPS for parallel workloads, and 90 MOPS/mW at 68 MOPS for sequential workloads at 0.46V and 0.5V, respectively. The energy efficient operating range is wide (0.32V to 1.15V), also meeting the design goal of 1 GOPS within a 10 mW power envelope (at 0.66V).
Mixed Multiscale Finite Element Methods for Stochastic Porous Media Flows

In this paper, we propose a stochastic mixed multiscale finite element method. The proposed method solves the stochastic porous media flow equation on the coarse grid using a set of precomputed basis functions. The precomputed basis functions are constructed based on selected realizations of the stochastic permeability field, and furthermore the solution is projected onto the finite-dimensional space spanned by these basis functions. We employ multiscale methods using limited global information since the permeability fields do not have apparent scale separation. The proposed approach does not require any interpolation in stochastic space and can easily be coupled with interpolation-based approaches to predict the solution on the coarse grid. Numerical results are presented for permeability fields with normal and exponential variograms.
Effects of inter‐country aquaculture technology diffusion rates on international shrimp market shares

Abstract Technology innovation and diffusion in shrimp aquaculture has resulted in increased quantity and supply of shrimp to satisfy expanding consumer demand. Logistic growth curves are estimated to depict the rate of diffusion of shrimp aquaculture technology throughout the major shrimp producing countries. A time series/cross sectional model is applied to 1985–1991 and 1995–1999 production data to evaluate factors influencing shrimp production growth rates. Calculated market shares for each country indicate that operating costs, lagged shrimp price, number of hectares in production, lagged export quantity of shrimp, and market structure influence the aquaculture technological diffusion rates and shrimp produced, and suggest that countries that incorporate technologies into their production system benefit the most from increased market share.
Tourists' external information search behavior model: the case of Thailand

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to expand and empirically test a model of tourist external information search behaviour.Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual model was developed based on the “three‐pronged approach,” an approach that is used to cross validate among the results from literature review, expert interviews, and an exploratory field study in order to confirm and propose a reliable conceptual model. A confirmatory factor analysis was then performed to ensure that the constructs were valid and reliable. Structural equation modeling was used to test the conceptual model and its hypotheses.Findings – The results revealed six variables that are significantly related to tourists' external information search behavior. Four of these variables had not been identified previously. These are as follows: information sources usefulness and accessibility, subjective norms, perceived personal risk, and ability to search.Research limitations/implications – The issue of model generalization should be.
Learning through Play: The Role of Learning and Engagement Theory in the Development of Educational Games for Intellectually Challenged Children

Games-based learning is an effective way to get learners actively involved in educational activities. This paper attempts to bridge the gap that exists between learning and engagement theory and systems analysis and design through a multidisciplinary framework for guiding the development of new educational games aimed at intellectually challenged children. Based on this framework a new web-based games platform is designed from the ground up, framed within games-based learning, learner engagement and motivation, and instructional systems development, and supported through the data gathered from a real-life case study. Mixed methods are employed for gathering insights on how intellectually challenged children at the age of 8 to 10 years old engage in learning activities, and for examining ways to help their development using educational games. Realising the role of learning and engagement theory in the development of educational games has a number of implications. Firstly, it emphasises the need to integrate theoretical constructs into the traditional systems analysis and design lifecycle when creating educational applications. Secondly, it confirms educators' central role both as informants in the game analysis and design process and as evaluators of the learning outcomes achieved by incorporating educational games within formal education. The contribution of the current work lies in the adaptation of the traditional system prototyping methodology to account for theoretical insights and on-going evaluation of the expected learning outcomes.
Ascorbic Acid in Neural Tissues

Abstract: Large amounts of ascorbic acid were readily removed from neural tissue by washing with warmed saline solutions. In areas where the original level was highest, such as cortex and cerebellum, a higher percentage was removed than from areas of lower concentration, such as pons‐medulla. The residual level in both types of tissue was similar. During scurvy, the ascorbic acid retained in the guinea pig brain is more readily removed by washing than is that of the normal brain.
Automated analysis of child phonetic production using naturalistic recordings.

PURPOSE Conventional resource-intensive methods for child phonetic development studies are often impractical for sampling and analyzing child vocalizations in sufficient quantity. The purpose of this study was to provide new information on early language development by an automated analysis of child phonetic production using naturalistic recordings. The new approach was evaluated relative to conventional manual transcription methods. Its effectiveness was demonstrated by a case study with 106 children with typical development (TD) ages 8-48 months, 71 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ages 16-48 months, and 49 children with language delay (LD) not related to ASD ages 10-44 months. METHOD A small digital recorder in the chest pocket of clothing captured full-day natural child vocalizations, which were automatically identified into consonant, vowel, nonspeech, and silence, producing the average count per utterance (ACPU) for consonant and vowel. RESULTS Clear child utterances were identified with above 72% accuracy. Correlations between machine-estimated and human-transcribed ACPUs were above 0.82. Children with TD produced significantly more consonants and vowels per utterance than did other children. Children with LD produced significantly more consonants but not vowels than did children with ASD. CONCLUSION The authors provide new information on typical and atypical language development in children with TD, ASD, and LD using an automated computational approach.
Risk factors and clinical consequences of human herpesvirus 7 infection in paediatric haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV‐7) is the least studied β‐herpesvirus in transplant settings. This prospective study examined the activity of HHV‐7 during the first 12 weeks post‐stem cell transplant in 59 paediatric patients. The presence of HHV‐7, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6) in blood was monitored weekly by a multiplex nested polymerase chain reaction. Overall, 33 (55.9%) patients had one or more surveillance blood sample(s) positive for HHV‐7. In contrast to HCMV and HHV‐6, no obvious peak time of reactivation was observed for HHV‐7. The occurrence of HHV‐7 DNAaemia showed a significant negative association with HHV‐6 (P = 0.022), but with no association with HCMV. A significant higher positive rate for HHV‐7 was found in autologous versus allogeneic (P = 0.002), and in peripheral blood versus umbilical cord/marrow (P < 0.001) transplant. Acyclovir had no effect, whereas ganciclovir was associated with a lower rate of HHV‐7 reactivation (P = 0.009). One patient died of HHV‐7 associated brain stem encephalitis. The administration of colony stimulating factor, occurrence of acute graft versus host disease, time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment showed no significant association with the occurrence of HHV‐7 DNAaemia.
