Insights Breast Cancer through mitochondrial genomics

Background Breast cancer has a predominant incidence and prevalence in Caucasian women. Although alterations in the mitochondrial genome probably play an important role in carcinogenesis, the actual evidence is ambiguous and inconclusive. The purpose of the present work was to determine the frequency of polymorphisms associated with breast cancer exploring mitochondrial sequences of clinical cases diagnosed from different origins reusing information available in the public free access database GenBank.Results 110 mtDNA sequences associated to breast cancer cases were identified, of which 72 sequences were complete mitochondrial chromosome and 38 partial sequences. Of these 110 identified sequences, 85 belong to patients with a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer and 25 complete sequences were obtained from healthy mammary tissue of the same patients. In addition, we obtained 49 complete mtDNA sequences from Eskimo and Inuit individuals, a low prevalence breast cancer population, used as controls. From patients diagnosed with breast cancer, T16519C was found in 60% of the breast cancer sequences and less than 20% of controls sequences (P = 0.427). Two changes were found in D130 in all sequences analyzed, the first characterized by the insertion of base C in position 315 and, the second, a transition of cytosine by at least two cytosines and one thymine at position 309 always followed by another transition of thymine by cytosine in the position 310. ConclusionsBoth polymorphisms, T16519C and D130, are evolutionarily related to haplogroup H of Caucasian origin of Indo-European and Euro Asiatic origins. However, they were also found in all sequences of non-European origin with breast cancer. The changes in the mtDNA of patients with breast cancer are polymorphic and not associated with a few unique mutations.
Theory of Particle Size Distributions for Chopped Forages

ABSTRACT AN analytical model of chopping of forage crops is presented. The model predicts the size distribution of chopped particles based on the random influences of initial particle length, particle orientation relative to the direction of feeding, and particle placement relative to the succession of cuts made by the blades. Initial particle length is assumed to follow a gamma distribution, and orientation angle is assumed to be uniformly distributed within a given range. The model's results are compared with literature data and suggest the use of the Weibull distribution for describing reduced forage crops. The effects of theoretical length of cut, mean and variability in initial particle length, leaf fraction, and allowable orientation angle on the predicted size distribution are studied.
A comparative study on e‐learning technologies and products: from the East to the West

Among the many technologies that support knowledge management, electronic learning or e-learning has become as popular as business intelligence. Along with the rapid development of modern communications and information technology and the increasing demand for building and maintaining business continuity capabilities, e-learning has emerged into a viable solution for continuous, on-demand training and organizational learning. It becomes critical for organizations to design and develop an effective e-learning system by using well-researched theories and technologies that fit their organizational environment. As we discovered in our study, a successful e-learning system is supported by many critical success factors (CSFs), and technology is the key factor among the CSFs. We also conducted a comparative study on e-learning theories, technologies and products from the perspectives of both western practitioners and Chinese counterparts. Due to the rapid economic development in China and its fast adoption of communications and information technology, the ways Chinese practitioners are developing e-learning theories, technologies and products have inevitably become a focal point in the world of information technology. Through the analysis of the current e-learning technologies and products, we outline the trends of developing e-learning systems and emphasize the importance of proper theories in guiding e-learning systems development.

Reliability evaluation of transmission and distribution configurations with duration-dependent effects

On an interruption of transmission or distribution supply, the actions taken to restore customer service and/or the impact on customers are often dependent on the interruption duration of the normal supply paths. An example is the interruption of supply to a load due to transformer failure. If the interruption duration is expected to be long, a mobile transformer may be used to provide a temporary supply. System failure ends when the mobile transformer is connected. The author gives methods of calculating the reliability indices, taking into account duration-dependent effects. Transmission or distribution component down times are allowed to be distributed arbitrarily, in accordance with recently reported data analysis. It is shown that nonexponential down times give significantly different results compared with exponential down times. The methods are simple and easy to implement on a computer.
WMS -Warehouse Management System: adaptação proposta para o gerenciamento da logística reversa

With the advent of the globalization, warehouses serves distant markets and presents a very low stock turnaround time. In this process, huge quantities of materials are discarded at the end of the logistics chain. These materials represent a considerable financial ammount and, if improperly discarded, can cause an environmental disaster. In order to avoid these problems, reverse supply chain management techniques are used. On order to implement these techniques, reverse supply chain management systems are needed. As this kind of systems are almost inexistent, this article suggests the adaptation of the traditional WMS systems in order to be useful in the management of the reverse supply chain management. The proposed methodology shows that the major functions found in present WMS systems can also be used for reverse supply chain management.
Simulation and analysis for the Kelang Container Terminal operations

Key issues of the application of modelling and simulation for the management of the Malaysian Kelang Container Terminal are discussed. The aim of the investigation is to improve the logistics processes at the port. The model simulates all processes required to operate the seaport efficiently and provides detailed statistics on the seaport through‐put and utilisation characteristics with a high level of accuracy. The quay cranes allocation, the resources allocations and the scheduling of the different operations are modelled to maximise the performance of the port. The assignment of prime movers to transport containers to a yard area is also considered.
Physical Factors Determining Women's Football

The physical factor in women's soccer is very important for the players who play it. Having a good physique for soccer is very important because having a good physique can demonstrate technical skills and tactics in the game of football. The training done by women's soccer is very different from men's soccer. Coaches need to provide the best exercises to be able to develop physically for players. There are several physical biomotors that need to be developed in order to get a good physical. To find out the dominant physical can be known by looking at the forms of training provided by the trainer. The process of training by the coach is a development of techniques, tactics, mental as well as physical for female soccer players. The training models provided by the coach are also supporting factors for female soccer players. Knowing the physical factors determining women's soccer achievements are expected to be able to contribute to the development of other training models that can truly develop the physical female soccer players.
Two-Stage Control for Container Cranes

For fast loading/unloading of the containers from a container ship, the quick suppression of the residual sway of the container at the end of trolley traveling is crucial. Due to the unmodeled dynamics of the plant and to disturbances like wind, a residual sway always exists. In this paper, a two-stage control for container cranes is investigated. The first stage control is a modified time-optimal control with feedback for the purpose of fast trolley traveling. The second stage control is a nonlinear control for the quick suppression of the residual sway while lowering the container at the target trolley position. The secondary control combines the partial feedback linearization to account for the unknown nonlinearities as much as possible and the variable structure control to account for the unmodeled dynamics and disturbances. The nonlinear control is investigated from the perspective of controlling an underactuated mechanical system. Simulations and experimental results are provided.
Determining band offset and interface charge density of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon/crystalline silicon heterojunction diode by C-V matching method

In this paper, we report the band offset and interface charge density properties of the nc-Si:H(n)/c-Si(p) heterojunction (HJ) diode by the capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement and theoretical modeling. By employing the ideal anisotype HJ capacitance model and numerical C-V matching method, the band offset and heterostructure interface charge density of the nc-Si:H/c-Si HJ have been obtained and analyzed. An interface charge density on the order of 1011 cm-2 is estimated via the numerical C-V matching technique, and the low interface defect density has also been confirmed by the frequency insensitive C-f results.
Study on modeling and detection capacitance analysis method of micromachined gyroscope

To establish the mechanism model of fabrication defect to the performance of the micromachined gyroscope with high precision and solve the time-consuming problem of the structure analysis, a tuning fork vibratory microgyroscope fabricated by the bulk silicon micromachining technology is studied in this work. The detection capacitance analysis method based on a substructuring model for the microgyroscope is presented using the dynamic finite element theory of multi-degree of freedom to improve the analytical accuracy. The analysis of the final output characteristics, namely the dynamic characteristics of the detection capacitance of the microgyroscope, is accomplished. The analysis results indicate that the substructuring model can help to conduct the analysis with a reasonable accuracy and a reduced computational cost, and the fabrication errors of the microgyroscope influence the natural frequency little but influence the output of detection capacitance greatly. Based on the promotion of analysis accuracy and efficiency, some complicated engineering objectives for the microgyroscope, such as the expression of multiphysics environment, the design of structural topology and the simulation of intricate dynamic performance can be achieved.
ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE RING LASER GYRO NAVIGATOR

the adp (advanced development program) described in this paper is an outgrowth of Navy exploratory development efforts in laser gyro technology together with the highly successful flight test demonstrations of two prototype laser gyro guidance/navigation systems: the Navy-developed ATIGS (Advanced Tactical Inertial Guidance System) and the Honeywell LINS (Laser Inertial Navigation System) developed under internal development funds. The tests and evaluations completed on the ATIGS and LINS developmental hardware have demonstrated the ability of today's laser gyro strapdown technology to meet basic moderate quality inertial navigation system performance requirements. Under the RLGN Advanced Development Program, a single package laser gyro navigator (including laser gyro and accelerometers, computer and power supplies) is being developed to assess low life—cycle cost potential, reliability, maintainability, and performance factors in a full military environment. This not only includes land—based, fixed and rotary wing aircraft environments, but sea-based aircraft environments as well, and the associated capability of the RLGN to align in the dynamic carrier motion environment. The data provided by the RLGN advanced development program will form the foundation for proceeding into the engineering and preproduction development program that will provide cost-effective laser gyro inertial navigation system to meet a broad range of future weapon systems requirements.
Yield improvement in SMT production by integrated process monitoring and testing

Almost 30-50% of fabrication costs in electronics production are caused by testing and repair operations. A strategy for yield improvement requires strong dedication to causal relationships and specification of process and product quality. Critical process parameters and their causal effects on product quality must be analyzed. Once critical process parameters are addressed, control strategies can be developed to assure high first pass yields. An overview of ongoing work that has been performed to establish a surface mount technology (SMT) production line with closed loop quality control via direct process monitoring capabilities and integrated inspection operations is given. For different inspection tasks, 3-D laser and X-ray inspection is applied. Process parameter as well as test and inspection results are gathered online. Thus, interrelationships between process steps beginning from material inspection, solder paste application, components placement, reflow soldering and final inspection can be analyzed. <<ETX>>
On the Modeling of Small Wire Scatterers with Core

Summary A simple model for chiral wire scatterers with core is presented. The model reduces the (isotropic) core of the scatterer to its dipole moments. The resulting description of the electromagnetic problem allows a simple calculation of the complete dipole polarizability tensors of the scatterer. For spherical cores the theoretical results obtained from the model are compared with the exact solution. Measurements performed on single helices without and with spherical or cylindrical core show that the model allows a reliable characterization of scatterers with arbitrarily shaped core.
Intelligent Deep Learning Based Disease Diagnosis Using Biomedical Tongue Images

: The rapid development of biomedical imaging modalities led to its wide application in disease diagnosis. Tongue-based diagnostic procedures are proficient and non-invasive in nature to carry out secondary diagnostic processes ubiquitously. Traditionally, physicians examine the characteristics of tongue prior to decision-making. In this scenario, to get rid of qualitative aspects, tongue images can be quantitatively inspected for which a new disease diagnosis model is proposed. This model can reduce the physical harm made to the patients. Several tongue image analytical methodologies have been proposed earlier. However, there is a need exists to design an intelligent Deep Learning (DL) based disease diagnosis model. With this motivation, the current research article designs an Intelligent DL-based Disease Diagnosis method using Biomedical Tongue Images called IDLDD-BTI model. The proposed IDLDD-BTI model incorporates Fuzzy-based Adaptive Median Filtering (FADM) technique for noise removal process. resultant experimental values highlighted the supremacy of IDLDD-BTI model over other state-of-the-art methods.
An image-computable model for the stimulus selectivity of gamma oscillations

Gamma oscillations in visual cortex have been hypothesized to be critical for perception, cognition, and information transfer. However, observations of these oscillations in visual cortex vary widely; some studies report little to no stimulus-induced narrowband gamma oscillations, others report oscillations for only some stimuli, and yet others report large oscillations for most stimuli. To reconcile these findings and better understand this signal, we developed a model that predicts gamma responses for arbitrary images and validated this model on electrocorticography (ECoG) data from human visual cortex. The model computes variance across the outputs of spatially pooled orientation channels, and accurately predicts gamma amplitude across 86 images. Gamma responses were large for a small subset of stimuli, differing dramatically from fMRI and ECoG broadband (non-oscillatory) responses. We suggest that gamma oscillations in visual cortex serve as a biomarker of gain control rather than being a fundamental mechanism for communicating visual information.

Real-time decentralized cooperative robust trajectory planning for multiple UCAVs air-to-ground target attack

Planning cooperative trajectories in real time is of great importance for multiple unmanned combat aerial vehicles (multi-UCAV) in performing autonomous time-critical cooperative air-to-ground target attack missions. The models of the vehicle, constraints, and a multi-criteria objective function are set up, and then the problem is formulated as a decentralized cooperative receding horizon optimal control problem. An elaborate framework for provable effective decentralized cooperative trajectory planning in two-degree-of-freedom decentralized receding horizon control is presented to provide the robustness and adaptivity for trajectory planning in dynamic and uncertain environments. Furthermore, a two-stage iterative optimization algorithm is developed to solve the problem. The novel algorithm integrates the differential flatness theory to generate trajectories, and the coordination variable-based strategy to coordinate the arrival time of multi-UCAV online, which can improve the computational efficiency and achieve the cooperative objective. The results of numerical simulations show that the proposed approach is feasible and well suited for the real-time implementation in dynamic and uncertain environment.
The Stochastic Resonance of Noise Frequency Modulation Signal Using Motion-Group Fourier Transform

In this paper stochastic resonance was studied in radar driven by noise frequency modulation signal. According to the intrinsic relations between the stochastic differential and the radar jamming signal processing, the stochastic calculus was used in the radar jamming signal processing in this paper. The noise frequency modulation signal was particularly analyzed. The Fokker-Planck equation of noise frequency modulation was presented and the Motion-Group Fourier Transform was used by converting the partial differential equation into the variable coefficient homogenous linear differential equations. Then the solutions were given.
The Evaluation of the Equations of State Used for the Joule-Thomson Effect Analysis in the Dry Gas Seal

The Joule-Thomson (JT) effect will occur when the gas flows through the components of filters, valves, orifices and end faces in the system of the dry gas seal, which may cause the temperature of the seal gas to decrease, and even the emergence of liquid condensation. Generally, the Joule-Thomson effect is reflected by the Joule-Thomson coefficient. As to the hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and air, which are often met in the dry gas seal, the corresponding Joule-Thomson (JT) coefficients were calculated by four classical equations of state (EOS) of VDW, RK, SRK and PR, which are compared with the experimental data in the literature. The results show that the JT coefficients calculated by RK equation are most close to the experimental data in the literature, whose relative error is lowest and less than 4%. When the JT effect of real gas in the dry gas seal is analyzed, the RK equation of state is recommend.

Conclusion: with raising feeding pattern score (better feeding pattern) especially in breastfeeding infants colic will be decreased. Keywords: pattern of breastfeeding, colic pains, the infant, breast feeding
Discussion of “Investigating parameters of two-point hedging policy for operating a storage reservoir” by Sharad K. Jain (2014)

This paper is about the discussion of “Investigating parameters of two-point hedging policy for operating a storage reservoir”; Sharad K. Jain (ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2014, vol. 20, no. 2, pp. 133–141, doi: 10.1080/09715010. 2013.848608). The main goal of the original paper is to examine the behavior of two parameters of a two-point hedging policy, including parameters A and B which the former determines when hedging should be triggered and the latter controls when hedging should be stopped, to reduce the drawbacks of standard linear operation policy in a reservoir operation problem. Despite the great effort of the author, the discussers find a couple of issues to add to the author surrounding hedging policy in the reservoir operation. According to Figure 1 of this discussion which is inspired from Figure 1 in the original paper, it is obvious that point A can be changed between 0 and target demand (T). Also, point B can be varied between T and Smax + T. It should be noted that the values of T and Smax + T are dependent to the reservoirs characteristics. However, in Section 4 of the original paper, Results and Discussion, the author indicated that the values of the parameters A and B were changed between [0.05, 0.95] at an increment of 0.05 and [1.1, 1.7] at an increment of 0.1, respectively. Accordingly, there are some issues as follows:
