Why urban residents ’ deeds do not match their attitude ? A dual mediation model of knowledge-behavior in low-carbon consumption [ J ]

In order to explore the reasons that urban residents’attitude are not matched by their actions and promote the implementation of low-carbon behavior, this empirical research examined what kind of low-carbon knowledge is more conducive to residents’low-carbon behavior. First, lowcarbon knowledge was classified as system knowledge, action knowledge, and effective knowledge. Then, by extending the knowledgeattitudebehavior theory and introducing lowcarbon capability (LCC) as a variable on the basis of low-carbon intention (LCI), a dual mediation model for the mechanism of lowcarbon knowledge on low carbon behavior was established. Finally, 1339 valid questionnaires were obtained and analyzed using structural equation model. A multiple group analysis was used to test the moderating effect of demographics. The results indicate that: (1) The difference of mechanism between the three types of low-carbon knowledge and low-carbon behaviors is one of the reasons that why urban residents’attitude are not matched by their actions. LCI and LCC have significant moderating effects on the relationship between system knowledge and residents’low-carbon behavior. Meanwhile, action knowledge can directly influence two kinds of low carbon behaviors or affect them indirectly through LCI. LCI is not affected by effective knowledge, but effective knowledge indirectly drives two kinds of low-carbon behaviors through LCC. (2) LCI driven by low-carbon knowledge is more often transformed into lowcarbon purchasing behavior, while LCC is more often affected by lowcarbon habitual behavior. Therefore, in order to form a longterm mechanism of lowcarbon consumption and reduce the“rebound effect”of energy efficiency improvement, it is necessary to pay attention to the cultivation of lowcarbon capability. (3) Gender, marital status, age, education level, and personal monthly disposable income have significant moderating effects on the relationship between action knowledge and two types of low-carbon behaviors. Relevant government agencies need to guide and promote the integration of knowledge and behavior among residents in lowcarbon comsumption according to the mechanism of different low-carbon knowledge.
Motor bearing fault diagnosis by a fundamental frequency amplitude based fuzzy decision system

The dynamic performance of motor bearings is highly influential on the performance of the entire motor system. More specifically, the presence of bearing defects often results in reduced efficiency, or even severe damage, of the motor under consideration. In order to determine when it is necessary to take a motor off-line for preventative maintenance, these faults must be diagnosed. In this paper, the frequency spectrum of the bearing vibration signal is analyzed using a fuzzy logic fault diagnosis methodology. The preliminary results show that fuzzy logic can be used for accurate bearing fault diagnosis if the input data is processed in an advantageous way.
Bioclimatic zoning and trend analysis applied to broilers

The objective of the present study was to establish the bioclimatic zoning by the temperature and humidity index (THI), considering a historical period and a future scenario, in order to represent the thermal environment for broiler breeding in the State of Minas Gerais. A historical series (1976 - 2014) of THI minimum, average and maximum calculated based on data from 48 conventional meteorological stations was used, belonging to the National Institute of Meteorology of the State of Minas Gerais. The analysis of the temporal series was based on the Mann-Kendall test and linear regression. A geostatistical analysis was also carried out to determine the comfort zoning of broilers as a function of the THI intervals. In this way, the THI spatial mapping methodologies and trend analysis for the prediction of a possible future climate scenario can help in the development of risk maps for monitoring thermal comfort of broilers, being indispensable in the planning of actions for the mitigation of the climatic change impacts on the productive chain of the State of Minas Gerais.

When implemented effectively by teachers, social-emotional learning (SEL) teaches students the skills needed to recognize and regulate their emotions and behaviour, manage relationships, and make decisions that promote success. Researchers have found that teachers’ relationship skills, attitudes about SEL, and perceived knowledge about SEL are related to the quality and practices with which they implement SEL. Understanding these variables and the relationships amongst them in pre-service can help teacher training programs improve the limited SEL training that preservice teachers receive. Using a concurrent correlational design and self-report measures completed by 197 Canadian pre-service teachers, the current study aimed to describe Canadian pre-service teachers’ relationship skills, attitudes about SEL, and perceived knowledge about SEL, and to examine whether their attitudes and perceived knowledge significantly predict variance in their relationship skills. Descriptive, independent t-test, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results indicate that the pre-service teachers report having moderately high to high levels of relationship skills, having positive attitudes about SEL, and being unknowledgeable to moderately knowledgeable about SEL. Pre-service teachers’ attitudes and perceived knowledge about SEL together predict a small amount of variance in the their selfreported competency in three relationship skills: initiating new relationships, disclosing personal information, and providing emotional support. As well, their attitudes about SEL uniquely predict a small amount of variance in the latter two relationship skills. The findings from this study can be used to inform Canadian teacher education programs’ SEL training, theoretical models of SEL, and future research on pre-service teachers and SEL.

A near miss is considered a special type of failure that approximates a goal. In skillful activities, near misses are indeed contingent on behaviour. Therefore, they can suggest how behaviour ought to be modified to achieve a desired end. However, near misses in games of chance do not share this function. Despite the independence of near-miss feedback and behaviour, near misses are presumed to enhance the gambling response. In slot machine gambling, a near miss occurs when all but the last reel line up with the same image (e.g., cherrycherry-lemon on a three-reel slot machine). Behavioural research has been inconsistent and there is a lack of consensus on whether or not the near-miss effect in slot machine gambling is a real phenomenon. Furthermore, the behavioural studies that claimed to find a near-miss effect are disputable. In the present work, Experiments 1A, 1B, and 2 examined the putative conditionally reinforcing function of near misses in pigeons and humans through an extinction procedure using highly simplified slot-machine-like tasks. Experiment 3 further simplified the task to assess the procedural validity of the extinction procedure. The results from Experiments 1A, 1B, and 2 did not find evidence that near-miss feedback causes greater persistence. Although Experiment 3 provided evidence for conditional reinforcement, the effect did not apply to persistence. Using a different approach, Experiment 4 showed that people were indifferent to the presence or lack of near-miss feedback. The results from the present work and the existing literature suggest that the near-miss effect is unlikely to be a real behavioural phenomenon.

Hybrid III–V/Silicon Nanowires

Semiconducting nanowires are emerging as a route to combine heavily mismatched materials. The nanowire dimensions facilitate the defect-free integration of the two most powerful semiconductor classes, group IVs and group III-Vs. These combinations may enhance the performance of existing device concepts, and also create new applications. In this chapter we review the recent progress in heteroepitaxial growth of III-V andIVmaterials. We highlight the advantage of using the small nanowire dimensions to facilitate accommodation of the lattice strain at the surface of the structures. Another advantage of the nanowire system is that anti phase boundaries are not formed, as there is only one nucleation site per wire. In this chapter, we will discuss three different heteroepitaxial III-V/Si morphologies, III-V nanowires on group IV substrates, and axial and radial heterojunctions. Advanced analysis techniques are used tocharacterise the quality of the heterointerfaces. Finally, we address potential applications of III-V/Si nanowires.

Control of Insulin Gene Expression in Pancreatic @-Cells and in an Insulin-producing Cell Line, RIN-5F Cells

To define the mechanism whereby glucose regulates islet insulin mRNA content, insulin gene transcription rates were determined in islets labeled with [3H]~ridine at low (3.3) or high (17 mM) glucose. Glucose stimulated the transcription of total RNA almost 2-fold and insulin mRNA 5.6-fold. Addition of dibutyryl CAMP to islets in vitro could partially mimic the effect of glucose on insulin gene-specific transcription. In the insulin-producing RIN-5F cell line, glucose did not affect transcription, while cholera toxin acted as a secretagogue and increased total RNA and insulin gene-specific transcription as well. We conclude that glucose exerts a specific stimulatory effect on the transcription of the insulin gene(s) in normal islets and that this effect may be mediated in part by CAMP.
FTR: Performance Communication Protocol for Integrating Sensor Networks

Integrating sen For example, users can monitor or control the state of the sensors remotely without visiting the field. Some researchers have proposed methods using a REST-based web service or HTTP to and server via the Internet service. In some cases this means that if the number of sensors to-end Quality of Service will decrease. The end as well as the failure rate of data sending caused by HTTP timeout paper, we propose Finite Time Response (FTR) HTTP as a communication protocol suitable for integrating sensor networks into the defined a cross-layer approach that coordinates between the application layer and the physical layer to control not only performance but also energy efficiency. The HTTP request-response delay the decision factor at the physical We also propose a forced average performance for all nodes. The experimental results FTR has the ability to maintain better performance, indicat response time and a lower average timeout experience. Optimization is still needed to gain better performance and better energy efficiency considering the average value of the
The Isolation of Intermediary Metabolites of L-Lysine-U-C" from Tissues of Tumor-bearing Rats*

A number of catabolic products of uniformly labeled lysine have been separated by the combined use of cationic and anionic ion-exchange resins. Samples of the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma, the Morris Hepatoma 5123, normal liver, and regenerating liver were compared with respect to the amount of isotope contained in each of these frac tions following the intravenous injection of L-lysine-U-C14. It was found that, in the course of lysine catabolism, pipecolic acid accumulated to a greater extent in neoplastic tissues than in the nontumor tissues studied. The relationship of an accumulation of pipecolic acid to a decreased rate of lysine degradation in the tumor is discussed.
AC hot carrier lifetimes in oxide and ROXNOX N-channel MOSFET's

A recently developed model for AC hot carrier degradation is extended to low-temperature operation as well as to ROXNOX (reoxidized nitrided oxide) dielectrics. Three hot carrier damage mechanisms are incorporated into the model: interface states and oxide electron traps created at low gate voltages, interface states created at medium gate voltages, and oxide electron traps created at high gate voltages. It is shown that the quasi-static contributions of these three mechanisms fully account for hot-carrier degradation under AC stress. The model is shown to be valid at 173 K and 295 K for both typical and worst-case AC stress waveforms found in CMOS circuits. It is also shown to be valid for ROXNOX MOSFETs. <<ETX>>
Effects of Hypericin Encapsulated on Pluronic F127 Photodynamic Therapy Against Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Objective: Breast cancer (BC) currently has no effective treatment especially for the highly aggressive and metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we investigated the antitumoral and antimigratory effects of hypericin (HYP) encapsulated on Pluronic F127 (F127/HYP) photodynamic therapy (PDT) against TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 compared to a nontumorigenic human breast ductal cell line (MCF-10A). Methods: The phototoxicity/cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT assay, long-term cytotoxicity by clonogenic assay, cell uptake, subcellular distribution, and cellular oxidative stress by fluorescence microscopy, cell death with annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide, PDT mechanism using sodium azide and D-mannitol, and cell migration by wound-healing assay. Results: The treatment promoted phototoxic effect on tumor cell line in a dose-dependent and selective manner. Internalization of F127/HYP was efficient and accumulation occurred in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, resulting in cellular oxidative stress mainly by the type II mechanism, induced by necrosis. Furthermore, F127/HYP decreased colony formation and reduced the cell migration ability in MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusion: Our results suggest a potentially useful role of F127/HYP micelles as a platform for HYP delivery to more specifically and effectively treat TNBC.
The perceptual magnet effect in Australian English vowels

Recent research (Kuhl, 1991)has suggested that the internal structure of vowel categories is graded in terms of stimulus goodness. It has been proposed that a best instance stimulus reflects a central point or prototype, which effectively renders within-category members perceptually more similar. Discrimination experiments suggest a nonlinear relationship between acoustic and perceptual space near category centers (Iverson & Kuhl,1995b). This phenomenon has been described as the perceptual magnet effect. The present study investigated the presence of the perceptual magnet effect in five Australian vowel categories. Australian English speakers identified, rated, and discriminated between a pool of 32 vowel stimuli that varied in Fl and F2 values. The results from Experiments 1 and 2 showed that subjects were able to judge the quality and identity of each stimulus and that a general grading of stimulus quality was reported. This was not symmetrical, and the subjects' responses varied considerably. In Experiment 3, closer control of the methodology in the discrimination task and of contextual factors influencing the test materials was exercised. Despite this, evidence of the warping of perceptual space in discrimination data was not found. In general, these results do not provide support for the existence of the perceptual magnet effect, and explanations for this finding are discussed.
Milani, A. et al. (2017) Vaccine immune pressure influences viral population complexity of avian influenza virus during infection.Veterinary

21 Vaccines are useful tools to control influenza A virus infection in poultry, but they need to be 22 periodically reformulated to guarantee appropriate protection from infection and to limit viral 23 replication and circulation, which could favour the emergence of new variants. In this study, a deep 24 sequencing approach was used to characterize and follow the evolution of the hemagglutinin of the 25 H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viral population in infected animals vaccinated with two 26 vaccines conferring different protection levels. Results from this preliminary investigation 27 suggested that the evolution of the viral population, as well as the abundance and heterogeneity of 28 minority variants could be influenced by the immune pressure conferred by vaccination. 29 30
Cytochrome P-450-Dependent Hydroxylation of Lauric Acid at the Subterminal Position and Oxidation of Unsaturated Analogs in Wheat Microsomes1

Microsomes from etiolated wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Etoile de Choisy) shoots catalyzed the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent hydroxylation of lauric acid predominantly at the subterminal or (w-1) position (65%). Minor amounts of 10-hydroxy- (31%) and 9-hydroxylaurate (4%) were also formed. The reaction was catalyzed by cytochrome P-450, since enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by tetcyclacis, carbon monoxide, and antibodies against NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450)-reductase. The apparent Km for lauric acid was estimated to be 8.5 ± 2.0 gM. Seed treatment with the safener naphthalic acid anhy-dride or treatment of seedlings with phenobarbital increased cy- tochrome P-450 content and lauric acid hydroxylase (LAH) activity of the microsomes. A combination of both treatments further stimulated LAH activity. A series of radiolabeled unsaturated lauric acid analogs (8-, 9-, 10-, and 1 1-dodecenoic acids) was used to explore the regioselectivity and catalytic capabilities of induced wheat microsomes. It has been found that wheat microsomes catalyzed the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phos-phate-dependent epoxidation of sp2 carbons concurrently with hydroxylation at saturated positions. The regioselectivity of oxi- dation of the unsaturated substrates and that of lauric acid were similar. Preincubation of wheat microsomes with reduced nicotin- amide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and 1 1-dodecenoic acid resulted in a partial loss of LAH activity.
lOA Probabilistic image modelling

Since the pioneering work of Besag, Cross, and Jain, the Gemans, Ripley, and others ( cf. the seminal papers reprinted in the monograph edited by Mardia and Kanji (1993)), Markov random fields have played a prominent role in statistical image analysis. At first, most attention was paid to tackling low-level problems like classification and segmentation with simple categorical or continuously valued pairwise interaction priors or Gaussian autoregression models with small neighbourhood systems. Gradually though it was realized that the above-mentioned models, despite their appealing simplicity and their relatively plausible local characteristics, which form the basic ingredient of most low-level algorithms, may have quite unrealistic global properties. Indeed, ensembles of connected geometrical shapes with smooth boundaries are unlikely to arise as realizations of such discrete random fields. Accordingly, there has been a surge of interest in the construction of stochastic models with a more satisfying global behaviour. Hurn et al. mention several examples, notably the higher-order models of Tjelmeland and Besag (1998), and the Gaussian Markov random fields studied in Rue (2001) and Rue and Tjelmeland (2002). In Section 2 below, we present some more recent advances in this direction. Another interesting development in the last decade has been the shift in emphasis towards high-level vision tasks that aim to understand and interpret an image in terms of the objects it contains. By their very nature, local Markov random fields are not well-suited as prior distributions for object scenes; far more natural are the Markov marked point processes suggested by Baddeley and Van Lieshout (1992); see also the papers collected in Mardia and Kanji (1993). In Section 3 we provide further details and point out some analogies with the region-based random fields discussed in Section 2.

A case–control study of vehicle panel damage and thoracic injury in rollover crashes

ABSTRACT The aim of this case–control study was to determine if there is an association between vehicle panel damage and AIS3+ thoracic injuries. NASS CDS data from 2001 to 2012 was examined for single vehicle rollover crashes with occupants receiving serious thoracic injuries (cases) and those without thoracic injuries (controls). Vehicle panel damage for cases and controls were coded and logistic regression performed to determine if there is an association between serious thoracic injury and vehicle panel damage. Furthermore, an investigation into the differences in injury sources and injury outcomes between front-seated near- and far-side occupants was performed with the data. There were two main findings from this study. First, there is an association between the rear left segment, front left upper-half door, and front right upper-half door damage and serious thoracic injury. Second, the sources of thoracic injuries and the thoracic viscera injured are different for near-side and far-side occupants.
X-FACTORS IN STRAIGHT PUNCHES

Straight punches are proven to be one of the most effective punches in Wing especially when boxers aim for far-reaching targets. Powerful straight punches require boxers to produce a series of force transfers from lower limbs to fists. Mechanically, the forces created from the lower limbs are approximately perpendicular to the forces created by fists. Hence, the forces from fists may not be derived from forms created from lower limbs as traditionally believed. This paper attempted to find the kinetic link of force transfer from lower limbs to fists. Three elite boxers were recruited in this study. Six high speed camera and two force platforms were used to collect data and 3D analysis was performed. The results showed that an X-factor contributed to the acceleration of straight punches resulted in the force of a straight punch.
