Mood State Profile as Overtraining Predictors: Considering Gender and Two Different Class Types

it is a general fact that there is a positive relationship between mood states and mental health, which in turn affect the physical state of an individual. The present study aims at comparing the mood state profile as overtraining predictors, in relations to gender and students from two class types: sport coaching versus non-sport coaching. The BRUMS questionnaire was administrated to 339 participants taken from sport science faculty consisting of 98 sport coaching class students and 241 non-sport coaching class students, then taking sex differentiation into consideration. The results indicated that the male respondents show no significant difference in both the positive mood and the negative mood scales between the sport coaching and the non-sport coaching groups. The positive mood of the non-sport coaching group is better than that of the sport coaching group by 3.99% while the scale of negative mood of sport coaching group is higher than that of the non-sport coaching group by 3.27%. The same trend was found in the female respondents as there is no significant difference in both the positive and negative mood scales between the sport coaching and non-sport coaching groups. The non-sport coaching group's positive mood was better than that of the sport coaching group by 4.89%. However, the non-sport coaching group's negative mood score was lower than the sport coaching group as much by 2.34%. It was concluded that, although there are different types of sport coaching class, the non-sport coaching class does not shows any significant difference in student mood state. More so, the positive mood level of men is better than that of women which means that, psychologically, the overtraining syndrome is more easily seen in women than men. Keywords—mood state, sport coaching students, overtraining syndrome.
EFFECT OF COLOR INFORMATION ON FACE PROCESSING AND TIME CHARACTERISTIC

Face perception is important for our social interaction. When we perceive faces, not only face features such as its configuration and contour but also face color might affect our face perception. This study aimed to reveal the effect of the color information on face processing and an event-related potential (ERP) was measured while natural color face and blue color face were presented. As a result, the amplitude of the N170 which deeply correlates with face processing was larger in response to blue color face than in response to natural color face. The result indicates that the color information effects on face processing in similar way with face configuration and that face color might also play important roles in the processing.
Genotyping and virulence factors assessment of bovine mastitis 1 Escherichia coli 2 3

27 Escherichia coli is a major agent of bovine mastitis worldwide. However, 28 specific E. coli virulence factors associated to pathogenicity during intra-mammary 29 infections are yet unknown and this pathotype remains uncharacterized. The 30 objectives of the present work were to assess the presence of a wide range of known 31 virulence factors in a large set of E. coli strains isolated from bovine mastitis (mastitis 32 set) and to study their genotypic distribution in comparison to a set of strains isolated 33 from cows' environment in dairy farms (environmental set). Virulence factors were 34 assessed by DNA hybridization microarray. The three most prevalent virulence 35 factors found in the mastitis set were lpfA (long polar fimbriae), iss (increased serum 36 resistance) and astA (enteroaggregative E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin 1). None, 37 however, characterized the majority of these strains. Genotyping was assessed by 38 phylogenetic grouping, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel 39 electrophoresis (PFGE). Strains in the mastitis and environmental sets were 40 differentially distributed into phylogenetic groups; groups A and B1 being the most 41 prevalent ones. Multiple MLST strain types were found in the two sets of strains, but 42 only a few were common to both, and diversity was higher in the environmental set. 43 A variety of PFGE patterns were found in the mastitis and environmental sets. Two 44 clusters comprising mostly highly similar mastitis strains were identified. The results 45 confirm that mastitis E. coli strains lack most of known E. coli virulence factors. In 46 addition, it is shown that the genotypic diversity of mastitis strains does not reflect the 47 diversity found in the environmental E. coli population. 48 49
REAL-TIME THREE-DIMENSIONAL DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF MOBILE ROBOTS IN ROUGH TERRAIN

The present work introduces the development of a 3D real-time dynamic simulator of robotic vehicles in rough terrain. An intersection algorithm is developed between a 3D generic terrain and each wheel of a vehicle. A tiresoil contact force model is implemented combining longitudinal and lateral slip conditions. The model includes the effects of direct current motors, interaction between its mechanical and electric parts, a continuous approximation of LuGre’s friction model applied to its shaft, and power limitations of the system batteries. The simulator also allows the implementation of a user defined control algorithm with the necessary virtual sensors. Equations for a 2D stability control, taking into consideration just the stabilization of the pitch angle of the vehicle were implemented as an example and its results have shown agreement to the ones found in the article that proposed the control algorithm. The simulator is validated using two scenarios where analytical solutions are known. A maximum error of 1.23% is found between the analytical and simulated trajectories, but it is shown that this error might be decreased if the geometric representation of the wheel is refined, at a price of an increased computational cost. This enhancement is easily programmed in the software through a script file, which also defines other settings such as geometric and dynamic parameters of the vehicle and tires, terrain types and their spatial resolution, the simulation time step, and output files for analyses.
Improving 3D registration by upsampling of sparse point cloud through fusion with high-resolution 2D image

This paper describes a 3D point cloud upsampling method using the fusion of 2D (e.g., EO, electro-optical) and 3D (e.g., LIDAR, light detection and ranging) sensors, that can improve the performance of 3D registration of the input point cloud with a known 3D model. In this method, a denser 3D point cloud is generated by using the corresponding EO pixel intensity values in the upsampling process. In order to increase the upsampling accuracy based on the scene complexity of a local surface area, the EO pixel entropy of the local area is used. Depending on the local entropy values (low, medium, and high), we apply different upsampling procedures (mean upsampling, full upsampling, and no upsampling respectively). By using the proposed method of upsampling, missing holes in the point cloud are filled in and the overall point density is increased, which results in improved accuracy in 3D registration of the input point cloud with its known 3D model.
Buy and Sell Preferences in Financial Markets : Laboratory Experiments Investigating Influences of Anticipatory and Anticipated Emotions

Research on emotions in financial markets includes studies of effects of mood proxies (e.g. weather) on market performance, field studies measuring investors ́ emotions, and laboratory tests of emotion influences on investor decision making. A general account of emotion effects in financial markets is still lacking. We report a first step in this direction by proposing how anticipatory and anticipated emotions interact in accounting for investors’ buy and sell preferences. We argue that this is the level that needs to be examined to understand the influences of emotions on financial markets. In partial support of our emotional account we present the results of 3 experiments employing naïve undergraduates who report anticipatory hope versus fear and anticipated elation versus disappointment due to changes in fictitious stock prices. We find that sell preferences tend to be positive both after price increases and price decreases if the balance of anticipated elation and disappointment exceeds the balance of anticipatory hope and fear. Our claim is that sell preferences formed in this way are invariant inputs to the decision making process that result in sell choices, but that experienced and sophisticated investors are able to control the impact of emotions. In naive investors the decision process is instead short-cut such that emotions play a larger role.
IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY IN AFRICA CONTINENT FROM 2001 TO 2010

Terrestrial ecosystem is highly sensitive to the global climate change especially the changes in temperature and precipitation which are the dominant factors controlling plant growth. African continent is one of the most regions vulnerable to global climate change, rising the air temperature and changes in precipitation affect the continent net primary productivity NPP. Here, we used the Thornthwaite memorial model and Climatic Research Unit (CRU) climatic data to simulate the dynamic variations in terrestrial NPP of African ecosystems driven by climate factors during 2001–2010. The results indicate that: for annual climatic data, the main annual precipitation was positively correlated with mean annual NPP (R 2 0.99), while the mean annual temperature was negatively correlated with mean annual NPP (R 2 0.001). The mean annual precipitation and temperature show and increasing trend by 1.5mm/year and 0.01 respectively during 2001 to 2010. In regard to NPP, the Western and Central Africa, dominated by tropical forests, which the most productive regions and accounted for 50% of the carbon sequestered as NPP in Africa. Our results indicate that warmer and wetter climatic conditions have resulted in a significant increase in African terrestrial NPP during 2001–2010, with the largest contribution permanent wet land.
LIBERALIZATION , REGIONALIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON COUNTRY ’ S REGIONAL TRADE

This presentation has winding up a literature survey of research on „liberalization, regionalization and its impact on country‟s regional trade‟. A literature review is the study of a body of texts touching upon the topic on which this research study is to be carried out that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge and secondary sources (IJRCM June 2011). Generally there are two approaches in free-trade activities. One is, „International approach‟, other is, „Regional approach‟ (Lee 2001). But generally it is found that it liberalization permanently lost its transparency. Its position has shifted from most favorable to reasonable rule of thumb. The main objective of this study is to find out that the evaluation of empirical study engaging in international trade and intra-regional trade with partner countries after trade liberalization and to examine as to whether there are any changes occurred on international economy based on the liberalization. A comparative and descriptive analysis was used to assess the empirical based researches were done related to trade liberalization and regional trade. Especially, considered as SAFTA, AFTA, NAFTA and EU based studies which were done by the scholars to evaluate its performances. An empirical based analysis suggested that there are many structural changes that had also taken place on the economy through liberalization and regionalization. This study also reveals that trade liberalization has promoted trade creation and expansion to a considerable level in Sri Lanka‟s external trade as well as other member of regional cooperation. It has also been found that the trade-diversion effect has occurred to Sri Lanka and as well as other members.Related to Sri Lanka, the empirical studies have been found significant gains from trade liberalization and intra-regional trade with other member countries of SAARC. It is advisable that Sri Lanka should carefully reduce or eliminate all trade and non trade barriers simultaneously and also should include some of imports items in the negative list. The economy of the country has undergone reasonable structural changes but its dependency ratio is not helpful to the country. Hence, the findings of this paper suggest that organization in measurement is needed to promote the research within regionalization and liberalization as well as more industry based analysis to avoid bias measuring in an important strategic field of regional strategy and also this research would suggest that liberalization is not out-dated but it should be moderated for the country‟s situation for the best result and achievements Asia Pacific Journal of Marketing & Management Review__________________________________________ ISSN 2319-2836 Vol.2 (1), January (2013) Online available at indianresearchjournals.com 2

Beyond Nimbyism : The Role of Place Attachment in Explaining Public Responses Towards the Implementation of Renewable Energy Projects : A Wind Energy Case Study

Abstract Using abductive reasoning, we combine existing literature and field-based work to offer a new explanation of local opposition to renewable energy (RE) developments, challenging the widespread notion of NIMBY, providing a better understanding of the place attachment (PA) construct and proposing a comprehensive model hinging around the pivotal role of place attachment, perceived project outcomes (PPOs) and associated symbolic meanings in explanatory accounts of public responses to proposals for change. Results indicate opposing patterns of association between PPOs and PA leading to the emergence of two kinds of supportive and oppositional responses and make available a more holistic structure of one’s attachment to a development site that could be embodied within a customer experience framework.
Exploring online manifestations of real-world inequalities

Socioeconomic gaps, particularly income inequality, affect crime and public opinion. Although official data sources can identify these patterns of income-based social disparity, a fundamental question remains: Can similar social inequalities be found using abundant online user activity? We explore two sub-questions. (i) How does a neighbourhood's income affect crime discussion in a geographical neighbourhood? (ii) Can user-generated data predict a neighbourhood's income? To answer these questions, we collect 2.5 million Nextdoor posts from 67608 USA and UK neighbourhoods between November 2020 and September 2021. We use official USA and UK data sources for crime and income information.
A taxonomic revision of the Formica rufibarbis FABRICIUS, 1793 group (Hymeno- ptera: Formicidae)

The Palaearctic members of the Formica rufibarbis FABRICIUS, 1793 group were investigated by means of numeric morphology-based alpha-taxonomy (NUMOBAT). 496 nest samples comprising 1753 worker individuals were analysed in eighteen phenotypic characters and a further 330 samples for only ten characters. Nine morphospecies and one subspecies were recognised: Formica rufibarbis, F. cunicularia LATREILLE, 1798, F. clara FOREL, 1886, F. clara sinae EMERY, 1925 stat.n. , F. glabridorsis SANTSCHI, 1925, F. orangea sp.n. , F. tarimica sp.n. , F. anatolica sp.n. , F. tianshanica sp.n. , and F. persica sp.n. All nine morphospecies were convincingly separable from each other by discriminant analysis (DA) with an error prediction by a leave-one-out cross-validation of 0.4% in the worst case. Type samples of fourteen taxa were available and positioned near to the cluster centres with a-posteriori probabilities of p > 0.998 with exception of F. clara sinae EMERY, 1925 stat.n. allocated to F. clara with only p = 0.929. As a consequence, the following synonymisations were stated: F. fusca var. cinereorufibarbis FOREL, 1874 as synonym of F. rufibarbis (sensu BERNARD 1967), F. fusca var. rubescens FOREL, 1904 as synonym of F. cunicularia (sensu YARROW 1954) and F. cunicularia fuscoides DLUSSKY, 1967 as synonym of F. cunicularia (sensu ARAKELIAN 1994), F. lusatica SEIFERT, 1997 as synonym and F. rufibarbis var. sinae EMERY, 1925 as subspecies of F. clara. Neotypes of F. rufibarbis and F. cunicularia were fixed. A deviating population of F. tianshanica sp.n. in the NW Chinese Bogda Shan Mountains, treated in this paper as intraspecific gyne polymorphism, may represent a cryptic species. Extension of sampling and integration of DNA analysis into the study are needed to decide this question. All species are depicted and a simplified identification key is given. Two species seem to be endemic: F. anatolica sp.n. is restricted to the south Anatolian Taurus Mountains and F. persica sp.n. to the north Iranian Elburs Mountains. These two species are also ecologically remarkable by frequently living in woodland while the other seven species preferentially occur in sun-exposed open land ranging from semi-dry grassland
A Study of Laptop with Projector Camera System for Collaboration

A system composed of projectors and cameras is called ProCams. Projectors have been miniaturized enough to be installed in a laptop or a cell phone, and many researches have been conducted on ProCams. In these researches, a small projector was attached to a laptop, called Bonfire [5][17]. Our goal in this research was to demonstrate multi-user interactions using a laptop system such as Bonfire. We designed and implemented an interactive surface called ShareSurface that was used to share information with other users in the vicinity of the laptop with ProCams. We conducted user studies to investigate the effectiveness of ShareSurface for computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), which involved performing a manual task using real-world objects on ShareSurface. From the results, the effectiveness of ShareSurface in CSCW was confirmed to be the same as that of a fixed type exited collaboration tool.
Tacit Knowledge Capacity: A Comparison of University Lecturers in Germany and North Cyprus

The importance of universities as knowledge hubs is increasing due to knowledge production via research and teaching. An emerging aspect of knowledge management literature is the study of the knowledge requirements of universities. In particular, the transformation from knowledge creation to knowledge sharing has proved to be important in the university context and is subject to cultural differences. For example, previous research has indicated that a physician’s Tacit Knowledge Capacity (TKC) is affected by social software and social media. This creates opportunities to carry out new research on different occupations that have an intense TKC. As part of this research, a survey was conducted in order to assess the TKC of lecturers in both Germany and North Cyprus. These are two countries that have universities providing knowledge management programmes. The research determined the TKC in both countries and compared the two in order to determine if cultural factors affect the TKC of the profession. Through this research, the authors aimed to contribute to the ongoing research on the knowledge requirements of universities that will enable them to be knowledge intensive institutions. The Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences at Near East University, which has 2200 students and 20 chairs, was compared with the Faculty of Business and Economics at the Technische Universität Dresden, which has 2800 students and 23 chairs. The study was carried out to provide an intercultural comparison, which is currently lacking in the Knowledge Management field. The research findings have highlighted the factors influencing the transfer and the accumulation of tacit knowledge.
Word 2 Dict – Lemma Selection and Dictionary Editing Assisted by Word Embeddings

We describe the use of a tool that assists lexicographers with extending the lexical coverage of an online Danish dictionary. The tool is based on a word embedding model (word2vec) trained on a large Danish corpus, and it presents semantically related lemmas already included in the dictionary and, importantly, their definitions. Furthermore, lemma candidates, i.e. words from the corpus which are not included in the dictionary, are presented in the tool, supplemented by information on corpus frequency. The tool thereby facilitates the lemma selection as well as the process of writing consistent definitions across synonyms and near synonyms. We discuss the shortcomings of the tool and the semantic model when it comes to identifying words similar in meaning from different genres and registers. We also look closer into whether it does in fact benefit the dictionary-making process or not by studying a number of previously edited words, including their synonyms, and comparing them with the output data from the tool.
Physical Activity and Public Health 12-1-2007 Objectively Assessed Associations between Physical Activity and Body Composition in Middle-School Girls : The Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls June

Declining levels of physical activity probably contribute to the increasing prevalence of overweight in US youth. In this study, the authors examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between physical activity and body composition in sixthand eighth-grade girls. In 2003, girls were recruited from six US states as part of the Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls. Physical activity was measured using 6 days of accelerometry, and percentage of body fat was calculated using an ageand ethnicity-specific prediction equation. Sixth-grade girls with an average of 12.8 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day (15th percentile) were 2.3 times (95% confidence interval: 1.52, 3.44) more likely to be overweight than girls with 34.7 minutes of MVPA per day (85th percentile), and their percent body fat was 2.64 percentage points greater (95% confidence interval: 1.79, 3.50). Longitudinal analyses showed that percent body fat increased 0.28 percentage points less in girls with a 6.2-minute increase in MVPA than in girls with a 4.5-minute decrease (85th and 15th percentiles of change). Associations between MVPA in sixth grade and incidence of overweight in eighth grade were not detected.
