An arboreal poison frog (Dendrobates) from western Panama.

Dendrobates arboreus, new species, is a small arboreal frog with a dorsal and ventral pattern of vivid yellow spots on a brown or black field. It is abundant at 1100-1300 m. above sea level on a low section of the continental divide in western Panama, where, in undisturbed cloud forest, virtually the entire population resides high aboveground on trees laden with bromeliads and other epiphytes. A few specimens also come from a locality in the adjacent Caribbean lowlands. The pale-spotted color pattern of Dendrobates arboreus is similar to that of the enigmatic D. maculatus, also from western Panama, but these two species differ significantly in morphology and are not closely related. Dendrobates arboreus is assigned to the histrionicus species group, which includes two species occurring macrosympatrically with arboreus, D. speciosus (highlands) and D. pumilio (lowlands). The monophyly of the histrionicus group is indicated by very similar-sounding chirp calls-given as long trains ofharsh notes that differ among species in rate ofnote repetition, note duration, and dominant frequency. New spectrographic analysis of pulse rates compels a restatement of Myers and Daly's original distinction between chirp calls and buzz calls, two important classes of dendrobatid vocalizations. Courtship and egg laying of Dendrobates arboreus, and cannibalism of eggs by an adult female, were observed in captivity. There is no amplexus during mating, although typical cephalic amplexus (primitive within the Dendrobatidae) is retained in the behavioral repertory, possibly in an aggressive context. Courtship includes tactile signals by both sexes prior to their assuming a vent-to-vent position for egg laying and fertilization. An instance ofmate piracy was observed when a second male successfully intruded at a late stage of courtship, bypassing the preliminary tactile signaling of the original pair. Defensive skin secretions of Dendrobates arboreus contained 14 piperidine alkaloids, includ' Chairman and Curator, Department of Herpetology, American Museum of Natural History. 2 Research Associate, Department of Herpetology, American Museum of Natural History; Chief, Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry, National Institute ofArthritis, Diabetes, and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health. 3Field Associate, Department of Herpetology, American Museum ofNatural History; Professor, School of Biology, University of Panama.

Simulation-driven Automatic Textual Report Generation for Staff Training

This paper describes the report generation concept, a service that automatically produces textual reports from events in an environment of simulation systems. The report generation is based on information from the simulation systems, but is independent of what specific systems are used. A prototype has been tested in command post exercises and deemed useful. The reports are intended to alleviate the work of the exercise support personnel. A number of technical challenges as well as user needs are noted.
Design Analysis and Testing of a 10-Ton Hydraulic Press

This paper presents the design and analysis of a10-ton, H-frame hydraulic press with incorporated force measuring device. Existing presses were investigated to identify the problems and challenges resulting in the use of these machines. The materials were sourced locally for the design. The major parts were designed, and analyzed using Finite Element Analysis. The device was then fabricated with the designed dimensions and tested by using it to compress selected materials. Based on the test results, modulus of elasticity were then estimated and compared with literature values for the tested materials. Also, during the test, the hydraulic cylinder was checked for leakages and frame was checked for other failure modes. No leakages were detected in the hydraulic cylinder and the platens did not show any noticeable deformation. The developed hydraulic press performed satisfactorily and can suitably be used to compress materials and estimate its compressive stress.

THERMOCYCLIC- AND STATIC-FAILURE CRITERIA FOR SINGLE-CRYSTAL SUPERALLOYS OF GAS-TURBINE BLADES

The problem of the thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) of single-crystal turbine blades has not been fully investigated theoretically or experimentally. In the present work TMF tests were performed for two single-crystal nickel-based alloys (ZhS36 and ZhS32) with various crystallographic orientations ( 001 , 011 , 111 ) under different temperatures and cycle durations. The dependence of the failure modes (crystallographic or non-crystallographic) on the loading regimes was analyzed. The non-linear viscoelastic, elastoplastic and viscoelastoplastic material models with non-linear kinematic hardening were used to predict the cyclic stress-strain state, ratcheting and creep of the samples. The deformation criterion of damage accumulation was introduced to the lifetime prediction. A stress analysis of the single-crystal samples, with concentrators (in the form of circular holes) and without them, was carried out using physical models of the plasticity and creep. These material models take into account that an inelastic deformation occurs due to a slip mechanism and it is determined with the crystallographic orientation. The proposed failure model using the deformation criterion allows qualitative and quantitative predictions of the TMF fracture process in single crystals.
Percolation-Based Topic Modeling for Tweets

This paper investigates topic modeling within a noisy domain. The goal is to generate topics that maximize topic coherence while introducing only a small amount of noise. The problem is motivated by the practical setting of short, noisy tweets, where it is important to generate topics containing a larger number of content words than noise words. For the most general version of this problem, we propose a new method, λ -CLIQ. It is a simple variant of the k-clique percolation algorithm that employs for quasi-cliques during graph decomposition and percolation based on λ , a graph property variant. While the topics generated using our base algorithm are highly coherent, they are often contain too few words. To increase topic size, we add a post processing step that augments identified topic words using locally trained embeddings. We show that both λ -CLIQ and λ -CLIQ + outperform the state of the art in terms of topic coherence on three distinct Twitter data sets.
A Novel approach for Fingerprint Matching using Gabor Filters

—With identity fraud in our society reaching unprecedented proportions and with an increasing emphasis on the emerging automatic personal identification applications, biometrics-based verification, especially fingerprint-based identification, is receiving a lot of attention. There are two major shortcomings of the traditional approaches to fingerprint representation. For a considerable fraction of population, the representations based on explicit detection of complete ridge structures in the fingerprint are difficult to extract automatically. The widely used minutiae-based representation does not utilize a significant component of the rich discriminatory information available in the fingerprints. Local ridge structures cannot be completely characterized by minutiae. Further, minutiae-based matching has difficulty in quickly matching two fingerprint images containing different number of unregistered minutiae points. The proposed filter-based algorithm uses a bank of Gabor filters to capture both local and global details in a fingerprint as a compact fixed length FingerCode. The fingerprint matching is based on the Euclidean distance between the two corresponding FingerCodes and hence is extremely fast.
Does national culture influence organizational culture across contexts? Elekta in Greece

This research deals with the influence of National Culture on Organizational Culture in Healthcare Services. We analyse how the national culture of a firm ́s home and host country and the cultural context affect the organizational culture in international marketing of healthcare services. We conducted a case study on Elekta a Swedish invention for radio surgery with a subsidiary, Elekta-Greece EPE, in its real life context. We collected qualitative data in form of semi-structured interviews by interviewing fourteen people during the years 2015-2016 in the host country of the subsidiary. We also used direct observation of the working environment and company documents as data sources. The study shows that the organisational culture of the Business Unit in Greece is flat and managers apply open doors culture trusting employees. Inequality between employees does not exist and the managers empower employees by involving them in the decision making process. Employees work as a team and share responsibilities and experience helping each other. They feel happy to work and perceive the challenges the company meets as their own challenges identifying themselves with the company. The study indicates that the context of the collectivistic and uncertainty avoiding culture of Greece influences managers to empower and motivate employees to work as a team developing good personal relationships in the company trusting each other. The results suggest that a balanced combination of national cultures makes the structure of the organisation flat, employees work as a team applying the Greek Philotimo helping and supporting each other to avoid ambiguity, reduce stress and unite in uncertain situations. We argue that a combination of the small power distance and femininity of the Swedish national culture combined with the cultural context of collectivism and strong uncertainty avoidance in Greece influence the organisational culture of the Business Unit. The local dynamic cultural context and the behaviour of the market, the customers, patients, service providers and the employees transform the organisational culture of Elekta-EPE Greece to a mixture of Swedish culture and Greek culture applying new organisational practices and models adapting to the values of the local context. The research contributes to the International services marketing literature developing a model of internationalization of healthcare services based on national cultural dimensions, organizational culture and contextualization. Managers who aim to establish businesses across borders need to balance the national culture of the head quarter and the one applied in units abroad with the unique context environment they operate to develop new organizational culture and be effective. A further study can include more companies and sectors to focus on the effect of national cultural context on organizational culture across countries.
Endogenous Lifespan, Health Funding and Economic Growth

An overlapping generations model is set up to compare in terms of economic growth rates and income distribution two regimes of health funding: private and public ones. Health is not only a component of human capital but it also yields directly utility and by enlarging lifespan it reduces future discounting thus affecting the propensity to invest in human capital accumulation. In the private system health expenditure is chosen in a decentralized way, whereas in the public regime it is provided by government and funded through an income tax, which is determined by voting. Endogenous poverty traps are shown to may arise. Inequality turns out to decline faster in the public regime, whereas in the private one it may be non-decreasing. The private system generally results to bring about higher growth rates, but when income distribution is enough uneven the public system may feature higher growth rates.

A Value at Risk Approach to Measuring Equity Trading Risk Exposure in Emerging Stock Markets

The attempt of this article is to fill a gap in the equity trading risk management literature and particularly from the perspective of emerging and illiquid financial markets, such as in the context of the Moroccan stock market. This paper provides real-world risk management techniques and strategies that can be applied to equity trading/investment portfolios in emerging markets. In this work, we divulge a proactive approach for the measurement/management of risk exposure for financial trading portfolios that contain illiquid equity securities. This approach is based on the renowned concept of Value At Risk (VAR) along with the creation of a software tool utilizing matrix-algebra technique. The recommended feasible analytical/quantitative techniques and procedures can be utilized in almost all-emerging economies, if they are tailored to match-up with each market's initial level of complexity. In order to exemplify the appropriate use of VAR and stress-testing techniques, real-world examples and attainable reports of risk management are presented for the Casablanca Stock Exchange (CSE). To this end, some case studies are accomplished with the intent of creating a realistic framework of equity trading risk measurement and control reports.
Client-driven Music Genre Classification Framework

We propose a unique client-driven music genre classification solution, that can identify the music genre using a deep convolutional neural network operating on the time-domain signal. The proposed method uses the client device (Jetson TX2) computational resources to identify the music genre. We use the industry famous GTZAN genre collection dataset to get reliable benchmarking performance. HTTP live streaming (HLS) client and server sides are designed locally to validate the eﬀectiveness of the proposed method. HTTP persistent broadcast connection is adapted to reduce corresponding responses and network bandwidth. The proposed model can identify the genre of music files with 97% accuracy. Due to simplicity and it can support a wide range of client hardware.

Linking physiological rates and community ecology: Effects of ocean temperature on dispersal and species interactions

Temperature controls the rate of fundamental biochemical processes and thereby regulates organismal attributes including development and mortality rates. The increase in metabolic rate with temperature explains substantial among-species variation in life-history traits, population dynamics, and ecosystem processes. Temperature can also cause variability in metabolic rate within species. Here we compare the effect of temperature on a key component of marine life cycles – the development of larvae – among a geographically and taxonomically diverse group of marine fish and invertebrates. Although innumerable lab studies document the positive effect of temperature on larval development time, little is known about the generality versus taxon-dependence of this relationship. We present a unified, parameterized model for the temperature dependence of larval development in marine species. Because the duration of the larval period is known to influence larval dispersal distance and survival, changes in ocean temperature could have a direct and predictable influence on population connectivity, community structure, and regional to global scale patterns of biodiversity.

FIRST REPORT OF CUCUMBER MOSAIC VIRUS INFECTING APPLE IN CHINA

A survey for apple viruses was conducted in October of 2014 in Shanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Liaoning and Hebei provinces of China. A total of 189 leaf samples with mosaic symptoms and five symptomless samples were collected and tested for viruses. Apple mosaic virus (ApMV) (Lakshmi et al., 2011; Robertson, 2012) was not detected by RT-PCR with total RNA and primers ApMV-F (5’-CGTGAGGAAGTTTAGGTTG-3’)/ApMV-R (5’-GCCTCCTAATCGGGGCATCAA-3’). Neither were Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX) by a multiplex RT-PCR assay previously developed in our laboratory, with the exception of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), for which a partial fragment (322 bp) of the coat protein (CP) gene was amplified from 153 symptomatic samples using specific primers CMV-F (5’-GATAAGAAGCTTGTTTCGCG-3’)/CMV-R (5’-GCTCGATGTCGACATGAAGT-3’). To confirm these preliminary results, primer pair CMV-CP-F (5’-A TGGACAAA TCTGAA TCAACC-3’)/ CMV-CP-R (5’-TCAGACTGGGAGCACCCC-3’) were designed to amplify a 657 bp CMV CP amplicon by simplex RT-PCR. The expected product was obtained from each sample identified as positive by multiplex RT-PCR. Five amplicons were randomly selected for cloning and sequencing (GenBank accession Nos. KP307919-KP307922 and KP641344). Sequence alignments showed the highest CMV sequence identity at the nucleotide level (97.3% to 99.2%) of the five isolates with that of a CMV isolate from tobacco in Sichuan province (KJ746016). Phylogenetic analysis indicated the five isolates cluster into CMV subgroup I. Using the CMV-specific monoclonal antibody 3C12 (Yu et al., 2005), the 153 symptomatic samples were positive for CMV in ELISA. No virus was detected in the five symptomless samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CMV infecting apple in China.
Integrated Communication and Control of PV-Based DC Microgrid

 Abstract— The emergence of the renewable energy sources such as the PV, fuel cells and storage systems have shifted the view to DC Microgrid. The inherent PV DC sources provide the compatibility with the DC loads without the need for multiple DC/AC and DC/AC conversions. In the DC Microgrid, the energy sources, storage units and loads are connected to a DC Bus through DC/DC converters. In order to achieve the control tasks and for energy management, the sources should exchange their information through a kind of network. The PV sources controllers communicate through communication network to achieve current sharing. The induced time delay could destabilize the system and it is important to determine the maximum delay margin. The exact delay margin for the stability is computed using the sweeping test and the binary iteration algorithm. The controller achieves good performance even with the fluctuations in the output of the PV sources. The impact of the DC Microgrid parameters and the controller parameters on the delay margin is investigated.
