Feeding ecology of the maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus (Illiger, 1815) (Mammalia: Canidae), in the Ecological Station of Itirapina, São Paulo state, Brazil

The feeding ecology of the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) was studied from 1998 to 2002 in the Ecological Station of Itirapina, Sao Paulo State, southeastern Brazil, including estimates of prey number and biomass consumption. A total of 325 faecal samples was collected in the area. The species is omnivorous, with a broad diet including 68 species or morphospecies of fruits and animals. Armadillos (Dasypodidae), wolf's fruit (Solanum lycocarpum) and small mammals (mostly Clyomys bishopi) were the bulk of the diet, comprising 72.8 % of the total estimated biomass consumed (185,323.4 g). In terms of frequency of occurrence, on the other hand, only small mammals and other miscella-neous fruits yielded 43.4 % of the total occurrences (N = 1,054). Animal prey ranging from 0.01 and 0.1 Kg were the most captured category, resulting in 44.2 % of 507 captured animals. The maned wolf seems to be seasonally opportunistic, at least for fruits and insects, as indicated by the variation of the consumption of these items along the year. The higher consumption of fruits and animals characteristic of savannah can be an important factor to consider in future management plans for the species.
Characterization of waves of leukocyte recruitment to the lung allograft and

MHC-mismatched lung allografts are rapidly rejected by the host immune response. We analyzed cells infiltrating the grafted lung tissue using a collagenase-digestion method. The grafted lung was filled with host-derived leukocytes as early as day 1 post transplantation and the majority of the initial infiltrating cells were granulocytes. This initial influx of granulocytes waned rapidly, followed by a steady increase in lymphocytes, particularly T cells, and then by macrophages. The proportion of CD4 + T cells that express CD25 were increased in the graft the majority of which were activated CD4 + cells. We applied cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4)-Ig treatment in combination with donor-specific blood transfusion to the transplantation of lung allograft, which was significantly prolonged by the treatment. To examine the cellular and molecular basis of the inhibition of the graft rejection, we evaluated number and cytokine mRNA expression of the cells infiltrating in the lung allograft using collagenase-digestion method, although we were unable to detect significant effects of the treatment. Taken together, this study demonstrates that single cell suspensions from cellular infiltrates of lung tissue is useful for phenotypical and functional studies on cells infiltrating lung tissue after graft transplantation.

Education and Skills Committee: SCVO Reflections on Skills Development Scotland

 Occupational segregation and under-representation remains a feature of skills interventions. Increased partnership working with the third sector and streamlining support, including collaboration with CJS, will help to improve up-take of MAs and outcomes for disadvantaged groups.  Volunteering has not been given appropriate attention as a means of developing soft skills and confidence, aptitudes employers are placing increased emphasis on.  The third sector remains absent from labour market intelligence and lacks any visibility on SDS websites. This would imply SDS do not yet view the third sector as a potential source of growth.  While emphasis on high-skilled digital jobs is important for economic and technological growth, ensuring the population has basic digital skills is vital for inclusive growth. As such, basic digital skills should be a key priority, promoted throughout SDS services with all age groups.  Personalised support is vital for disadvantaged groups, but this requires a move to more flexible approaches to outcomes and commissioning outside the traditional pipeline model.
Coherent rotations of a single spin-based qubit in a single quantum dot at fixed Zeeman energy

Coherent rotations of single spin-based qubits may be accomplished electrically at fixed Zeeman energy with a qubit defined solely within a single electrostatically defined quantum dot; the $g$ factor and the external magnetic field are kept constant. All that is required to be varied are the voltages on metallic gates which effectively change the shape of the elliptic quantum dot. The pseudospin-$1∕2$ qubit is constructed from the two-dimensional $S=1∕2$, ${S}_{z}=\ensuremath{-}1∕2$ subspace of three interacting electrons in a two-dimensional potential well. Rotations are created by altering the direction of the pseudomagnetic field through changes in the shape of the confinement potential. By deriving an exact analytic solution to the long-range Coulomb interaction matrix elements, we calculate explicitly the range of magnitudes and directions the pseudomagnetic field can take. Numerical estimates are given for GaAs.

Nash Equilibrium and information transmission coding and decoding rules

The design of equilibrium protocols in sender-receiver games where communication is noisy occupies an important place in the Economic literature. This paper shows that the common way of constructing a noisy channel communication protocol in Information Theory does not necessarily lead to a Nash equilibrium. Given the decoding scheme, it may happen that, given some state, it is better for the sender to transmit a message that is different from that prescribed by the codebook. Similarly, when the sender uses the codebook as prescribed, the receiver may sometimes prefer to deviate from the decoding scheme when receiving a message.
Energy-Efficient Transprecision Techniques for Iterative Refinement

This paper presents transprecision techniques for iterative refinement, which utilize various precision arithmetic dynamically according to numeric properties of the algorithm and computational latencies depending on precisions. The transprecision techniques were plugged into a mixed precision iterative refinement on an Intel Xeon E5-2650 2GHz core with MKL 2017 and XBLAS 1.0. The transprecision techniques brought further 2.0-3.4X speedups and 3.0-4.1X energy reductions to a mixed precision iterative refinement when double precision solution accuracy was required for forward error and a matrix size was ranged from 4K to 32K.
Classification for Decision Metrics 2 . 1 Improving with AHP

Decision metrics are commonly used in daily business, whereby in a typical situation the business response is known, but an evident solution can not be selected directly out of a set of potential solutions, since details of such potential solutions are not known. Thus decisions have to be made to resolve uncertainties existing in the described situation. Decision metrics are used in various contexts. For instance, in software development, functional sizing serves as a decision metric x when planning the approach, assigning resources and time, or fixing a price, whereas in product development, for example, product designers decide which solution characteristics x impact customer perception in the most favorable way. In a typical problem statement the known response is defined by means of a response profile, say y, to which an unknown control profile, say x, exists. The control profile consists of various independent parameters for which it is not apparent how they contribute effectively to a problem solution, if at all. To clarify this situation, the characteristics of a transfer function T are investigated. Transfer function reflect the impact of a control profile x on the response profile y, or from a mathematical point of view: y = T(x) where x is unknown. Subsequently the role that transfer functions play in a Design for Six Sigma environment is described, and in particular how the classification of decision metrics can be derived from the classification of transfer functions.
Human memory CD8+ T-cells exhibit an intrinsic metabolic advantage as reflected by increased mitochondrial functionality and high glycolytic potential

Intrinsic differences between na•ve and memory CD8+ T-cells affect both quality and quantity of cognate antigen response. Cellular immune function and metabolic pathways are closely linked. The metabolic repertoire of na•ve and memory T-cells remains largely unknown. Here we assessed key metabolic features of human na•ve and effector-memory CD8+ T-cells under basal, metabolic stress, and activating conditions. Basal mitochondrial respiration was similar in both subsets. Memory cells, however, possessed more complex, tubular mitochondria, and displayed greater respiratory capacity and enhanced fatty acid oxidation. Basal glycolysis was also comparable in both subsets. Memory cells, however, showed an exclusive capacity to rapidly upregulate glycolysis after mitochondrial respiration blockage. In line with this finding, effector memory CD8+ T-cells expressed more cytoplasmic GAPDH levels with enhanced activity compared to na•ve CD8+ T-cells. Protective immunologic memory depends on antigen-experienced T-cells that are able to: (a) rapidly acquire effector function and (b) expand as secondary effector cells (Masopust and Picker, 2012). The clonal re-expansion of memory cells requires aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) in order to meet added biosynthetic and energetic demands (Vander Heiden et al., 2009). The metabolic requirements of rapidly responding effector memory CD8+ T-cells are unknown. Here we show that human effector memory CD8+ T-cells possess the intrinsic ability to upregulate aerobic glycolysis with unexpected rapid dynamics. In contrast to prototypical aerobic switch in activated T-cells, this early phase is insensitive to blockage of mTORC1, a known regulator of glucose metabolism in proliferating T-cells (Finlay et al., 2012; Fox et al., 2005). CD28 signaling via mTORC2 and AKT is required to sustain this early increased glycolyis. Importantly, preventing this early glycolytic phase by either blocking AKT activity or glucose deprivation, led to an impairment of IFN-gamma secretion. Therefore, increased metabolic capacities in effector memory CD8+ T-cells promote a primed state to immediately support high glycolytic activity upon activation. This early glycolytic phase is prerequisite for immediate effector function and therefore linking metabolic features with CD8+ T-cells recall functionality. Our findings established differential metabolic repertoires between na•ve and effector-memory CD8+ T-cells, with implications for strategies aiming to therapeutically manipulate CD8+ T-cell memory.
Competition versus coopertion in groundwater extraction: A stochastic framework with heteregoneous agents

We analyze a game with N farmers that extract groundwater from a common aquifer of small storage capacity. Our aim is to compare the socially optimal, myopic and feedback extraction strategies, the latter arising from competitive interaction between extracting agents. Our extension to existing literature is that we consider heterogeneous farmers, facing uncertainty deriving from stochastic rainfall. The farmers differ in terms of their choice of irrigation technology, which results in different farmer-speci�c impact on the aquifer recharge rate. We illustrate the implications of the di¤erent strategies on extraction rates, groundwater table levels and welfare attained, via simulations based on data from the Kiti aquifer in Cyprus.
Metaphors Applied to Interaction Design in Group Learning

The acquisition of the ability to use metaphors effectively contributes in increasing students' capacity to analyze and design interfaces. The use of metaphors in interaction design offers consistent interfaces, simple and intuitive. However, it is not easy for students to learn how to use metaphors in interaction design. To teach students how to develop interactive experiences through metaphors is not an easy task. This paper proposes a method for teaching the use of metaphors, while designing the website, desktop, mobile or tablet interface and presents the results of a case study on the successful teaching method proposed. The teaching method developed is a collaborative learning model based on model of King questioning and creative dimensions of Ferreira. It consists of creative tasks coupled with structured questionnaires with questions and are designed to encourage interaction, group learning, and foster creativity of students.

Quartz Single Grain Osl Sensitivity Distributions: Implications for Multiple Grain Single Aliquot Dating

Quartz Single Grain Osl Sensitivity Distributions: Implications for Multiple Grain Single Aliquot Dating A simple probabilistic numerical model was used to construct synthetic De distributions by combining the simulated OSL from grains of different sensitivities and with various simulated De values. This is useful for exploring the complex patterns generated by summing the signals from many grains in real, multiple grain OSL dating scenarios, and demonstrates that the form of the sensitivity distribution has a significant effect on the identification of mixed dose populations in multiple grain single aliquot methods. I describe the simple numerical model and its implementation. I present measured quartz single grain OSL sensitivity distributions for an aeolian dune sample from the Simpson Desert, Northern Territory, Australia, and from a suite of 9 fluvial sediments from Namadgi National Park, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, to illustrate effects that result from natural differences. Minimum age model determinations of synthetic De values are used to assess the validity of dose values estimated from multiple grain single aliquot measurements.
A Redescription of Felicola (Paradoxuroecus) bengalensis (Werneck, 1948) (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae) from a Common Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) in Thailand

The chewing louse species, Felicola (Paradoxuroecus) bengalensis (Werneck, 1948) (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae) has been previously described based on the morphology of the head, abdomen, genitalia and the shape and the presence of abdominal tergites. However, such studies lack detailed biometrical data. In this study, chewing lice from a common palm civet, Paradoxurus hermaphroditus Pallas, 1777 (Carnivora: Viverridae), captured from the reserved forest in Western Thailand, is redescribed and illustrated using three male and three female specimens. Detailed morphological data were gathered on these louse species, which strongly supplements previous descriptions and can also be used for monitoring the health status of the common palm civet population.
Impact on Green Purchase Intention by Brand Equity Dimension

Green products have a better value to offer compare to conventional products, it give the consumer a chance to contribute to the environment. While other research shows that customer are willing to buy products with better value but that's not what happen to green products. Also people are reluctant to buy green product even though they have the awareness and knowledge about the environment condition because green products are perceived to be expensive. This paper is trying to give a different approach by connecting Brand Equity to Green Purchase Intention because expensive products with a strong brand will be easier to sell. Also this research is trying to explain what is the most influential dimension of Brand Equity that contribute to Green Purchase
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and High Redshift Universe

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the brightest and most concentrated electromagnetic explosion in the universe. They are sudden, intense flashes of random distributed gamma-rays which for a few seconds completely outstrip all other sources of gamma-rays in the sky, including those coming from the sun. GRBs as the most luminous events exist as long-duration, soft-spectrum bursts which last for hundreds of seconds and short-duration, hard-spectrum bursts which last for a few milliseconds. GRBs are believed to occur as a result of the collapse of a massive star. It is expected that the GRB rate is approximately proportional to the star formation rate (SFR), and they could be used to find supernovae (SNe) at very high redshift. The high luminosity of the early afterglow and GRB transient nature makes GRBs powerful sources to study the metal enrichment and interstellar medium properties of their hosts and the correlations between GRB spectral properties and the collimation corrected energetic could be used to constrain cosmological parameters (Ωm, ΩΛ) which determine the geometry of the universe. GRBs and their afterglow acts as a new cosmological tool to trace metallicity, and this offer a unique explanation of large-scale structure (galaxies, clusters and super clusters), and as a probe of the high redshift universe.
Detecting hostile accesses to a web site using a visualization method based on probabilistic clustering

In this paper, we propose a visualization method based on probabilistic clustering in order to detect hostile accesses to a Web site. A system administrator is required to monitor a huge amount of access log data in order to detect novel types of hostile accesses. Our PrototypeLines is a visualization method based on probabilistic clustering with a single parameter that must be tuned and has been successful in medical domain. Thus we believe that PrototypeLines is more attractive than conventional hostile access detection methods based on machine learning since each of the latter methods typically has many parameters that must be tuned. We modify our PrototypeLines for hostile access detection and investigate its performance by experiments with real data. Experimental results show that our method is effective in detecting hostile accesses since it provides a display of a large amount of access sessions in a compact manner emphasizing hostile accesses with warm colors.
Interactive Tool to Compare and Communicate Traffic Safety Risks:Traffic STATS

Traffic STATS is an interactive, web-based query tool that provides estimates of passenger vehicle and other traffic safety risks in real time. Using “cube” database technology, the tool houses publicly-available government data on traffic fatalities from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and personal travel behavior from the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) and “on the fly” calculates risk statistics for user-specified queries. A query defines a set of parameters for variables that are common to these two databases (i.e., age, day of week, gender, hour of day, month of year, region of country, person type, and transportation mode), and the tool generates three risk metrics (deaths per mile, deaths per trip, deaths per minute traveled), as well as associated confidence intervals. The tool provides a level of detail and responsiveness that is currently not available from other sources, and allows users to explore the relative risks across transportation modes, demographic variables, and vehicle types. In this paper, we describe the motivation for developing the tool, provide an explanation of the technology developed to store the data and facilitate the queries, and walk through a series of examples of the types of comparisons that can be made quickly and efficiently. As an added feature, the tool also facilitates extremely fast queries of the underlying FARS and NHTS data.
Effect of Glycerol on Physical Properties of Biofilms Gembili Starch (Dioscorea Esculenta) - Chitosan

In this present era, the demand of plastics as food packaging materials is increase rapidly. However, unfortunately the most of these products are non-environmentally friendly and non-biodegradable. Biofilm starch-chitosan is one of polymer that has been extensively studied for use as a biodegradable plastic. This study was conducted to determine the physical properties of biofilm that made from starch of Gembili (Dioscorea esculenta) and chitosan with glycerol plasticizer, with dope method. The results showed that biofilms obtained the biodegradability of 68%, water uptake ranging between 0.15 to 0.25, tensile strength ranging between 26.87 to 35.45 MPa and elongation ranging from 18.15 to 31.23%.
Governing equations of fluid mechanics in physical curvilinear coordinate system.

This paper presents the development of unsteady three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in an unsteady physical curvilinear coordinate system. It is demonstrated that the numerical simulations based on governing equations in a physical curvilinear coordinate system are less mesh sensitive than other schemes.
