told by Danish children with developmental language disorder

of grammatical utterances (PGU), of a narrative generation task based on the wordless picture book, ‘A Boy, a Dog and a Frog’. Thirty-eight Danish children aged 6;6 (years;months) to 13;2 participated. Nineteen participants with developmental language disorder (DLD) were individually matched to a typically developing (TD) child for age and gender. Compared to their TD peers, the children with DLD produced shorter utterances and were less accurate with respect to verb morphology and word order. PGU showed good potential for identifying the participants as DLD or TD.
A novel approach towards the fruit specific waste minimization and utilization: A review

India is the key producer of fruits in word. Although, utilization of fruits for processing is hardly 1.8% of the total production unlike developed countries. The various sectors of food processing industries are engaged in the production of different types of processed products and generating various types of wastes. These wastes, weather solid or liquid, if these wastes are not properly manage then it is direct loss of producer and also creates environment pollution problems. The waste utilization of fruit processing industries has become one of the main challengeable aspects in the world as well as in India. The waste materials (plant by-products) are rich in valuable compounds which can be utilized in various industries as novel, low-cost, economical and natural sources of dietary fiber, antioxidants, pectin, enzymes, organic acids, food additives, essential oils etc. through different methods of extractions, purifications and fermentations. Waste product which is thrown into the environment has a very good antimicrobial and antioxidant potentiality. These are novel, natural and economic sources of antimicrobics and antioxidants, which can be used in the prevention of diseases caused by pathogenic microbes. Many of the industrial fruit wastes have been exploited for biogas production to compensate for electricity needs in industrial sectors. The full utilization of horticultural produce is a requirement and a demand that needs to be met by countries wishing to implement low waste technology in their agribusiness. Studies and research to be needed to characterize some of the important bioactive compounds present in the fruits residues and prepare formulations based on such compounds that can be used as health foods. Waste prevention refers to three types of practical actions, i.e., strict avoidance, reduction at source, and product re-use. This review is the collection of previous reports along with current affords in the direction of possibilities of utilization of by-products different fruit processing in industries and to promote the integral exploitation of the by-products rich in bio-active compounds also to highlight the potential applications of some selected fruit by-products which are generated in fruit processing.
Simultaneous identification of building dynamic model and disturbance using sparsity-promoting optimization

We propose a method for identifying thermal building models for HVAC control in the presence of large, unmeasured disturbances. In addition, the method also identifies the effects of those unmeasured disturbances on the output. Our method uses `1-regularization to encourage the derivative of the identified scaled disturbance to be sparse, the motivation of which is physically meaningful. We test our method using training data from both open-loop and closed-loop simulations. Results show that the identified model can accurately identify the transfer functions from flow rate and supply-air temperature to room temperature in both cases, even in the presence of large, unmeasured disturbances, which makes it valuable for MPC applications.
A study to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles synthesized by Sonchus asper on fenugreek plant

The present study was conducted on fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) with an objective to study the effect of nanoparticles synthesized from Sonchus asper on several growth parameters viz. germination percentage, coleoptiles length, vigour index, fresh weight and dry weight, as well as on protein and DNA content. The research was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. Silver nanoparticles treatment was given in five concentrations having 1%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 50%. A control plate was also maintained in which no nanoparticles was added. Seeds were inoculated on petri plates and incubated in BOD incubator for 7 days. After seven days seeds were studied for analyzing effect of nanoparticles on fenugreek growth. Seed germination results indicated that lower concentration of silver nanoparticles resulted in significant increase in seed germination as well as early seedling growth in fenugreek however, elevated concentrations (above 20%) exhibited toxicity to fenugreek plant. The positive influence on germination percentage, coleoptile length, fresh weight and dry weight was correlated with protein and DNA content which was also recorded to be highest at 20% nanoparticles concentration. The results of the current study concluded that the use of silver nanoparticles at low concentration exhibit a positive effect on germination and growth in fenugreek.
THE INFLUENCE OF COMPANY-SPECIFIC ASSETS ON CORPORATE PERFORMANCE INTERACTION

This paper studies the interaction between the exclusive assets of listed companies (except the financial industry) and the performance of listed companies in Taiwan during the 20 years from 1998 to 2017, and studies the changes of the interaction, and divides the time point into two stages, namely, 1998 (the end of the Asian financial turmoil), 2008 (the beginning of the world financial tsunami) and 2017. In this study, it is found that there is interaction among R & D intensity, marketing intensity and capital intensity. Due to the mutual exclusion of costs, the pairwise effect is almost negative, but the attributes still have additive effect with each other (the interaction of the three attributes is positive). However, in the later period (2008 ~ 2017), this study found that the interaction between R & D intensity and marketing intensity showed a positive effect, which can be seen that the investment in R & D in the future is also helpful to the company's advertising. It is found that when an economy wants to develop internationalization, the degree of internationalization will be a positive effect on corporate performance, and when it reaches a certain degree, the positive effect will disappear and show a nonlinear effect. This study finds that Taiwan shows a W-shaped effect in the later stage of this study.
How Should We Measure Creativity in Design Studies? A Comparison of Social Science and Engineering Approaches

Design researchers have long sought to understand the mechanisms that support creative idea development. However, one of the key challenges faced by the design community is how to effectively measure the nebulous construct of creativity. The social science and engineering communities have adopted two vastly different approaches to solving this problem, both of which have been deployed throughout engineering design research. The goal of this paper was to compare and contrast these two approaches using design ratings of nearly 1000 engineering design ideas paired with a qualitative study with expert raters. The results of this study identify that while these two methods provide similar ratings of idea quality, there was a statistically significant negative relationship between these methods for ratings of idea novelty. Qualitative analysis of recordings from expert raters’ think aloud concept mapping points to potential sources of disagreement. In addition, the results show that while quasi-expert and expert raters provided similar ratings of design novelty, there was not significant agreement between these groups for ratings of design quality. The results of this study provide guidance for the deployment of idea ratings in engineering design research and evidence for the development and potential modification of engineering design creativity metrics.
Evaluation of physico-chemical, nutritional quality and safety of imported raisin samples available in Indian market

Drying of grapes is a very old practice adopted in various parts of world. Raisins have low to moderate glycaemic index and high nutritive value. In India, raisins are mainly prepared in Sangli, Solapur and Nashik districts of Maharashtra and Bijapur district of Karnataka. Raisins are also imported from several countries in India. However, evaluation of the quality of imported raisins has not been conducted by any agency in India till date. Thus, this study was undertaken to ascertain the physical, biochemical, nutritional quality attributes, microbiological safety and pesticide residues of imported raisins available in Indian markets. In this study, few evaluated samples showed slight deviations from the prescribed international standards. This study ascertained that the quality of imported raisins available in Indian markets is comparable to the raisins prepared in India and quality of the majority of the samples complied with the Codex Alimentarius standards.
Microservices Architecture Enables DevOps: An Experience Report on Migration to a Cloud-Native Architecture

The microservices architecture is one of the ﬁrst service-based architectural styles that has been introduced, applied in practice, and become popular when the DevOps practices gained momentum in the software industry. Migrating monolithic architectures to cloud-native architectures like microservices brings in many beneﬁts such as ﬂexibility to adapt to the technological changes and independent resource management for diﬀerent system components. Here, we report our experiences and lessons learned during incremental migration and architectural refactoring of a commercial Mobile Backend as a Service to microservices. We provide a detailed explanation of how we adopted DevOps and its practices, and how these practices facilitated a smooth migration process. Furthermore, we have taken a step towards devising microservices migration patterns by wrapping our experiences in diﬀerent projects into reusable migration practices
Multi-physics inversion for reservoir modeling including transient-EM data

We investigate the potential of transient EM data for uid saturation and ow path prediction in an enhanced oil recovery scenario with water and CO2 ood of a tight unconventional reservoir. Characterization of the subsurface permeability (here referring to the ability to transmit uids) is achieved by sequential Gaussian simulation in a geostatistical modeling framework, thus capturing the underlying 3D complexity with a few categorical parameters. Our hydrogeophysical joint inversion method combines time-lapse pressure and ow rate data with transient EM data to estimate permeability modi ers at prede ned pilot points. Preliminary imaging results highlight the potential bene t of surface EM data to aid this type of parametric inversion for time-lapse uid monitoring.
Standardization of ceramic shape: A case study from the Iron Age pottery from northeastern Taiwan

The emergence of ceramic specialization in past societies is often linked to shifts in the complexity of social structures, because standardized ceramic production can reflect craft specialization and the presence of elite control. Previous work on identifying specialization relies on typological or linear metric analysis. Here we demonstrate how to investigate ceramic standardization by analyzing outlines of ceramic vessels. Outline analysis is useful because, unlike more commonly-used landmark analysis methods, it can effectively quantify shape differences for objects that lack distinctive measurement points needed for landmark analysis. We demonstrate this method using pottery from Kiwulan, a large multi-component Iron Age site (CE 1350–1850) in northeastern Taiwan. To measure ceramic specialization, we quantified pottery standardization by analyzing shape variables with reproducible geometric morphometric methods. We computed coefficients of variation (CVs) for shape coefficients obtained by elliptical Fourier analysis to test for shape standardization. We found significant differences in pottery shape and shape standardization that indicate changes in pottery production resulting from contact with mainland Han Chinese groups in northeastern Taiwan. Our case study, which includes an openly available research compendium of R code, represents an innovative application of outlinebased methods in geometric morphometry to answer the anthropological questions of craft specialization.
R EVERSIBLE I NTEGER - TO -I NTEGER W AVELET T RANSFORMS FOR I MAGE C OMPRESSION : I MPLEMENTATION AND E VALUATION

There has been a growing interest in the reversible integer to integer wavelet transforms for image coding. In this paper, several of those particular transforms are integrated using a VHDL description on a FPGA circuit. Two different architectures are proposed, one uses the lifting framework as an architectural support and the other takes advantage of the two finite impulse response filter (FIR) structures representing the wavelet transform function. Evaluation is performed on the basis of their computational complexity, latency, hardware occupancy, and finally maximum operating clock frequency of the circuit obtained. Of the transforms considered, some of them seem to perform particularly well depending on the architecture used.
A 200 μm-PERIOD LASER-DRIVEN UNDULATOR∗

To reduce the linac energy required for a given synchrotron radiation wavelength, and hence the size of the device, a smaller undulator period with sufficient field strength is needed. In this work, a microfabricated, laser-driven undulator with 200 μm undulator period is proposed. A transverse electric (TE) wave that co-propagates with the electron beam is excited between two polysilicon thin films, having a gap of 16.5 μm. The mode that is excited is a deflecting mode and causes the electron beam to wiggle. The device is fabricated on a silicon wafer, using conventional silicon micromachining techniques. A single polysilicon thin film is supported on a silicon chip, which has a slit from the back to allow delivery of the laser beam. Two such chips are bonded together to form a 16.5 μm gap, within which the electron beam passes through. The final device has dimensions 1cm x 1cm x 1.1mm and has approximately 35 undulator periods. In this paper, the model, design, fabrication, and cold measurements of the device are reported.

Studies on genetic parameters for yield and yield attributing traits in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

59 genotypes of tomato including three checks were subjected to study the extent of variability present in the experimental material for yield and yield attributing traits at V.R. C. , G.B. P.U. A. & T. , Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India for two consecutive years i.e. 2014 and 2015. Analysis of variance revealed the presence of high variability for all the 14 characters studied. Evaluation of 59 genotypes of tomato elucidated high magnitude of PCV as well as GCV for number of fruits/plant followed by average fruit weight (g), fruit yield (q/ha) and ascorbic acid (mg/100 g). The heritability coupled with genetic advance as per cent of mean were high for ascorbic acid (mg/100 g), number of fruits/plant, average fruit weight (g), fruit yield (q/ha), number of locules/fruit, pericarp thickness (mm) and number of fruits/cluster which suggests that these characters could be improved by selection.

Termite species richness, composition and diversity on five farms in southern Kunene region, Namibia

A survey was conducted on five farms in former Damaraland, a communal farming area in arid northwestern Namibia. The aims of the survey were to establish termite inventories for each site and to investigate whether termite diversity is determined by land-use history and land-use intensity. Overall, termite diversity in western Namibia is low. The Shannon Index ranged from 0–1.46. Diversity was generally higher at sites under relatively low land-use intensity. On the farm with the most arid climatic conditions, this relationship was reversed, probably as dung and other resource inputs were relatively high at the higher land-use intensity site. Termite species assemblages differed between the various farms, as wellas across the land-use intensity gradients. Whether this was attributable to differing environmental parameters or land-use histories was not clearly discernible.
Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pregnancy: Novel Approaches for an Old Problem

Iron needs increase exponentially during pregnancy to meet the increased demands of the fetoplacental unit, to expand maternal erythrocyte mass, and to compensate for iron loss at delivery. In more than 80% of countries in the world, the prevalence of anemia in pregnancy is > 20% and could be considered a major public health problem. The global prevalence of anemia in pregnancy is estimated to be approximately 41.8%. Undiagnosed and untreated iron deficiency anemia (IDA) can have a great impact on maternal and fetal health. Indeed, chronic iron deficiency can affect the general wellbeing of the mother and leads to fatigue and reduced working capacity. Given the significant adverse impact on maternal-fetal outcomes, early recognition and treatment of this clinical condition is fundamental. Therefore, the laboratory assays are recommended from the first trimester to evaluate the iron status. Oral iron supplementation is the first line of treatment in cases of mild anemia. However, considering the numerous gastrointestinal side effects that often lead to poor compliance, other therapeutic strategies should be evaluated. This review aims to provide an overview of the current evidence about the management of IDA in pregnancy and available treatment options.
Energy–water and seasonal variations in climate underlie the spatial distribution patterns of gymnosperm species richness in China

Abstract Studying the pattern of species richness is crucial in understanding the diversity and distribution of organisms in the earth. Climate and human influences are the major driving factors that directly influence the large‐scale distributions of plant species, including gymnosperms. Understanding how gymnosperms respond to climate, topography, and human‐induced changes is useful in predicting the impacts of global change. Here, we attempt to evaluate how climatic and human‐induced processes could affect the spatial richness patterns of gymnosperms in China. Initially, we divided a map of the country into grid cells of 50 × 50 km2 spatial resolution and plotted the geographical coordinate distribution occurrence of 236 native gymnosperm taxa. The gymnosperm taxa were separated into three response variables: (a) all species, (b) endemic species, and (c) nonendemic species, based on their distribution. The species richness patterns of these response variables to four predictor sets were also evaluated: (a) energy–water, (b) climatic seasonality, (c) habitat heterogeneity, and (d) human influences. We performed generalized linear models (GLMs) and variation partitioning analyses to determine the effect of predictors on spatial richness patterns. The results showed that the distribution pattern of species richness was highest in the southwestern mountainous area and Taiwan in China. We found a significant relationship between the predictor variable set and species richness pattern. Further, our findings provide evidence that climatic seasonality is the most important factor in explaining distinct fractions of variations in the species richness patterns of all studied response variables. Moreover, it was found that energy–water was the best predictor set to determine the richness pattern of all species and endemic species, while habitat heterogeneity has a better influence on nonendemic species. Therefore, we conclude that with the current climate fluctuations as a result of climate change and increasing human activities, gymnosperms might face a high risk of extinction.
Effect of wind farms on wintering ducks at an important wintering ground in China along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway

Abstract Wind farms offer a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels and can mitigate their negative effects on climate change. However, wind farms may have negative impacts on birds. The East China Coast forms a key part of the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, and it is a crucial region for wind energy development in China. However, despite ducks being the dominant animal taxon along the East China Coast in winter and considered as particularly vulnerable to the effects of wind farms, the potential negative impacts of wind farms on duck populations remain unclear. We therefore assessed the effects of wind farms on duck abundance, distribution, and habitat use at Chongming Dongtan, which is a major wintering site for ducks along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, using field surveys and satellite tracking. We conducted seven paired field surveys of ducks inside wind farm (IWF) and outside wind farm (OWF) sites in artificial brackish marsh, paddy fields, and aquaculture ponds. Duck abundance was significantly higher in OWF compared with IWF sites and significantly higher in artificial brackish marsh than in aquaculture ponds and paddy fields. Based on 1,918 high‐resolution satellite tracking records, the main habitat types of ducks during the day and at night were artificial brackish marsh and paddy fields, respectively. Furthermore, grid‐based analysis showed overlaps between ducks and wind farms, with greater overlap at night than during the day. According to resource selection functions, habitat use by wintering ducks was impacted by distance to water, land cover, human activity, and wind farm effects, and the variables predicted to have significant impacts on duck habitat use differed between day and night. Our study suggests that wintering ducks tend to avoid wind turbines at Chongming Dongtan, and landscape of paddy fields and artificial wetlands adjoining natural wetlands is crucial for wintering ducks.
