The Impact of Academic Enablers Instruction on Academic Achievement of Elementary School Children

The present study investigated the relationship between Academic Enablers (AEs) instruction and student achievement. Specifically, whether such behaviors and attitudes explicitly taught in a small group setting would improve students' academic performance. Students struggle academically and behaviorally for a variety of reasons, poor or lack of instruction, lack of motivation, or related to a disability, to recognize a few. Existing literature has identified several factors, (e.g . , interpersonal/social skills, motivation, study skills, and engagement), known as AEs, that meaningfully contribute toward students' academic success. However, unlike previous studies that focused on such AEs in isolation, this study addressed this limitation and examined whether the combination of AEs would produce improved effects; specifically, with third grade elementary students. Results suggested some improvement in students' reading fluency, written expression, and levels of classroom engagement following AE instructions, but not in mathematics, social skills, or study skills. Results and implications are discussed in lieu of the small sample size.
Automatic differential equations identification by self-configuring genetic programming algorithm

The paper considers a reduction of differential equations identification problem to the symbolic regression task. The current approach allows automatic determining the structure of a differential equation via the usage of the self-configuring genetic programming algorithm. The a priori information needed is only the dynamic system initial point and the sample of input and output effects. The stability of the proposed approach to the presence of noise in the sample and the small amount of data is investigated.
Interpretable Deep Temporal Structure Learning Model for Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease

In Alzheimer’s research, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is an important intermediate stage between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease. How to distinguish MCI samples that finally convert to AD from those do not is an essential problem in the prevention and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Traditional methods use various classification models to distinguish MCI converters from non-converters, while the performance is usually limited by the small number of available data. Moreover, previous methods only use the data at baseline time for training but ignore the longitudinal information at other time points along the disease progression. To tackle with these problems, we propose a novel deep learning framework that uncovers the temporal correlation structure of the longitudinal neuroimaing data in the disease progression. In the meantime, we formulate our new deep learning model in an interpretable style such that it provides insights on the important features Alzheimer’s research. We conduct extensive experiments on the ADNI cohort and outperform the related methods with significant margin.
Proposal and Design of a Power Divider With Wideband Power Division and Port-to-Port Isolation: A New Topology

In this article, a novel topology is proposed to design a class of power dividers with the simultaneous realization of wideband power division and port-to-port isolation. On the one hand, in order to achieve a wideband power dividing response, two wideband filtering branches, including multimode resonators and parallel-coupled lines, are formed to replace the quarter-wavelength impedance transformers in the Wilkinson power divider. On the other hand, two output ports are at first electrically connected in shunt, stretched by quarter-wavelength transmission lines and then shunt-connected via one resistor, aiming to achieve the highly desired wideband port-to-port isolation. After the theoretical analysis on frequency responses of power division and port-to-port isolation is carried out, a prototype power divider on the microstrip-line structure is designed and fabricated. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results is obtained, exhibiting an extremely wide operating band of 78% fractional bandwidth, over which 3 ± 0.3-dB power division and 17.5-dB port-to-port isolation have been simultaneously achieved.

Bone graft in alveolar cleft with autogenous particulate cancellous bone: Evaluation of interdental alveolar bone height.

This study was undertaken to estimate the interdental alveolar bone height in regions undergoing bone grafts, and to determine what factors were correlated with the prognosis of the bone graft. A total of 120 alveolar clefts in 107 patients were studied. The alveolar clefts received grafts of autogenous particulate cancellous bone obtained from the iliac bone. The cases were documented by periapical radiographs taken before bone grafting and between 12-18 months after grafting. Successful bone formation (i.e., an interdental alveolar bone height of the grafted portion measuring more than 3/4 of the root length of the upper central incisor adjacent to the cleft), was observed in 70.8% of all clefts. The rate of successful bone formation was significantly higher in the group in which the bone graft was performed at less than ten years old than that in the older group. Unfavorable results were found at a significantly higher rate in cases in which the average width of the alveolar cleft was more than 11 mm. Thus, the age at the time of bone grafting, or the width of the alveolar cleft was definitely shown to affect the prognosis of the bone graft in the alveolar cleft. The eruption stage of the canine on the cleft side, or the cleft type, tended to be related to whether the interdental alveolar bone height was formed successfully or not.
Balanced-to-Balanced Diplexer and Quadruplexer With High Selectivity and Wide CM Suppression

In this brief, a balanced-to-balanced diplexer with high selectivity and wide common-mode (CM) suppression is presented and analyzed. Based on the proposed diplexer, an improved quadruplexer is designed. The balanced diplexer and quadruplexer are based on U-type microstrip feedlines, stepped-impedance microstrip/slotline transition structures and bandpass filter units. The design of U-type microstrip feedline and slotline transition is adopted at input and output ports, therefore the differential-mode (DM) response and intrinsic broad bandwidth CM suppression can be realized. By employing two or four stub-loaded resonators (SLRs), two or four channels with different frequencies can be achieved, respectively. Meanwhile, the center frequencies, fractional bandwidth (FBW) and transmission zeros (TZs) can be controlled by changing the dimensions of SLRs. The presented diplexer and quadruplexer exhibit sharp out-of-band rejection. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first article to propose a balanced quadruplexer. In order to verify the feasibility of proposed design, a diplexer and a quadruplexer have been fabricated. Good agreements between the simulated and measured results can be observed.

Existing building management systems have high costs and reveal many weaknesses in data collection. Therefore, using the ARIMAX algorithm for predicts temperature, humidity and the amount of electricity that will be consumed in building which helps operators always plan to prepare the necessary energy source for the building, ensuring the electric energy is always provided fully, continuously and effectively
Soluble Colloidal Manganese Dioxide: Formation, Characterization and Application in Oxidative Kinetic Study of Ciprofloxacin

Soluble colloidal manganese dioxide was formed by reduction of potassium permanganate with sodium thiosulphate in neutral aqueous medium at 25 ºC. The obtained nano-sized colloidal manganese dioxide was found to be dark reddish-brown in color and stable for several months. The formation of manganese dioxide was confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometer and determination of oxidation state of Mn species in manganese dioxide. The effect of different concentration of sodium thiosulphate on the formation of manganese dioxide was also studied. The nano-sized colloid manganese dioxide was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. The formed soluble colloidal manganese dioxide was used as an oxidant in oxidation of ciprofloxacin in perchloric acid medium at 35 ºC. The reaction was first-order concerning to concentration of manganese dioxide and hydrogen ion but fractional order with ciprofloxacin. The results suggest formation of complex between ciprofloxacin and manganese dioxide. The oxidation products were also identified based on stoichiometric and characterization results.

Circularly polarized ACPW Fed CRLH-TL based ZOR antenna with band notch characteristics

Abstract In this paper, two asymmetric co-planar waveguide (ACPW) fed circularly polarized (CP) zeroth-order resonance (ZOR) antennas (Antenna I and II) are presented using a composite right and left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) approach. By adding a stub on the left side of the ACPW ground and adjusting its length, circularly polarization property has been achieved in Antenna I. The simulated 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of Antenna I is 1750 MHz (3.50–5.25 GHz). Next, the left side ground plane of Antenna I is further defected by etching a quarter wavelength slit to introduce a notch band (Antenna II). Antenna II has an extended 10 dB return loss bandwidth of 2200 MHz (3.28–5.48 GHz) with a band notch from 4.18–4.65 GHz that isolates the WiMAX and 5.2 GHz WLAN bands. ARBWs of 1080 and 870 MHz are achieved in the first and second band of Antenna II. The overlapping 3 dB ARBW and 10 dB return loss bandwidths of Antenna II in these two bands are 770 and 830 MHz, respectively.
The relationship between fears of cancer recurrence and patient age: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Fears of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the most prevalent concerns and a common unmet need reported by cancer patients. Patient age is a demographic variable that has been linked to FCR, among others. Although it is recognised by researchers that age and FCR may be negatively correlated, the strength of this correlation has yet to be established.
Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Ottelia alismoides (Hydrocharitaceae), a vulnerable submerged macrophyte in China

Abstract Ottelia alismoides (Linn.) Pers. (Hydrocharitaceae) is an endangered submerged macrophyte in China. In his study, we assembled complete chloroplast (cp) genome of O. alismoides based on the Illumina reads. The cp genome of O. alismoides was 157,885 bp in length, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 87,707 bp and small single copy (SSC) region of 20,234 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 24,972 bp each. The cp genome encoded 115 genes including 70 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The GC content of cp genome of O. alismoides is 36.6%. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis revealed that O. alismoides is closely related to O. acuminate var. songmingensis.

Does acute normovolemic hemodilution affect intraoperative value of serum–creatinine concentration in patients undergoing cardiac surgery

This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Background: The possible impact of hemodilution during acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) using hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on intraoperative serum concentration of creatinine (s-Cr) has not been well investigated. Methods: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery were randomly allocated into Group-ANH (n = 15) or Group-C (control; n = 17). In Group-ANH, 5 ml/kg whole blood was collected, and they were administered 5 ml/kg of HES 130/0.4 after anesthesia induction and before initiating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In both groups, moderate hypothermic CPB was initiated using 1,600–1,800 ml of bloodless priming solution. The changes of s-Cr, blood urea nitrogen, hematocrit (Hct), electrolytes, and osmolality were determined before ANH administration (T1), after administering ANH 5 ml/kg (T2), 30 and 60 s after the initiation of CPB (T3, T4), and at the end of surgery (T5). Results: In Group-ANH, the s-Cr values at T2 (median [IQR25– 75%], 0.83 [0.71–1.00] mg/dl) were not significantly different compared to those at T1 (0.84 [0.64–1.00] mg/dl), while those at T3 and T4 (0.68 [0.61–0.80] and 0.76 [0.59–0.92] mg/dl, respectively) were significantly lower than those at T2 (0.83 [0.71–1.00] mg/dl, P < 0.001). Hct at T3, T4 and T5 were significantly lower than those of T1 in both groups, and those at T2 and T4 of Group-ANH were significantly lower than those of Group-C (P < 0.001). There was no significant inter-group difference in all other parameters. Conclusions: Intraoperative s-Cr was not affected by the administration of ANH 5 ml/kg, although it reduced transiently at the beginning of CPB. Further study is needed to determine the clinical relevancy of our results. (Anesth Pain Med 2017; 12: 15-22)
Time‐lagged correlations associated with interannual variations of pre‐monsoon and post‐monsoon precipitation in Myanmar and the Indochina Peninsula

The time‐lagged correlations of monthly precipitation in Myanmar and the Indochina Peninsula (ICP) with several climate indices were investigated by using Global Precipitation Climatology Centre dataset after checking its quality with rain‐gauge data. The results showed significant time‐lagged correlations of several climate indices related to El Niño‐Southern Oscillation and El Niño Modoki with precipitation anomalies in Southern Myanmar during pre‐monsoon (April) and post‐monsoon (October) months. Composite analysis of extremes and Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis on precipitation variations over the whole ICP for these 2 months were carried out. The analyses showed a good association between precipitation in Southern Myanmar and a large‐scale precipitation structure that affects the Southern Myanmar and ICP simultaneously during these 2 months. An analysis of moisture flux over a wide area of ICP, including the surrounding seas, showed that the regressed variability of its convergence with the first principal component (PC1) of EOF analysis on precipitation over the whole ICP is statistically significant over the wide area from the Bay of Bengal to Southern ICP and South China Sea for the 2 months. The significant time‐lagged correlations were confirmed by regressing sea surface temperature (SST) in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and 850‐hPa zonal wind (U850) upon the PC1. We propose an area‐averaged SST, U850, or the combination of these variables at each corresponding best location in the equatorial region to the highest correlation searched in this study as a good predictor for long‐range statistical prediction of monthly precipitation in the southern part of ICP, particularly for the pre‐monsoon month. Using a linear model and the proposed predictors, we demonstrate a successful hindcast in predicting the pre‐monsoon and post‐monsoon precipitation in the southern part of ICP (south of 20 N) up to 6 and 3 months ahead, respectively.
Global reference mapping and dynamics of human transcription factor footprints

Combinatorial binding of transcription factors to regulatory DNA underpins gene regulation in all organisms. Genetic variation in regulatory regions has been connected with diseases and diverse phenotypic traits1, yet it remains challenging to distinguish variants that impact regulatory function2. Genomic DNase I footprinting enables quantitative, nucleotide-resolution delineation of sites of transcription factor occupancy within native chromatin3–5. However, to date only a small fraction of such sites have been precisely resolved on the human genome sequence5. To enable comprehensive mapping of transcription factor footprints, we produced high-density DNase I cleavage maps from 243 human cell and tissue types and states and integrated these data to delineate at nucleotide resolution ~4.5 million compact genomic elements encoding transcription factor occupancy. We map the fine-scale structure of ~1.6 million DHS and show that the overwhelming majority is populated by well-spaced sites of single transcription factor:DNA interaction. Cell context-dependent cis-regulation is chiefly executed by wholesale actuation of accessibility at regulatory DNA versus by differential transcription factor occupancy within accessible elements. We show further that the well-described enrichment of disease- and phenotypic trait-associated genetic variants in regulatory regions1,6 is almost entirely attributable to variants localizing within footprints, and that functional variants impacting transcription factor occupancy are nearly evenly partitioned between loss- and gain-of-function alleles. Unexpectedly, we find that the global density of human genetic variation is markedly increased within transcription factor footprints, revealing an unappreciated driver of cis-regulatory evolution. Our results provide a new framework for both global and nucleotide-precision analyses of gene regulatory mechanisms and functional genetic variation.
Diagnostics of Solar Cells

The paper represents the mathematical model for diagnostics of solar cell. The research objectives are the problem of determining a solar cell technical condition during its operation. The solar cell diagnostics is based on the mathematical model of solar cells. The single-diode solar cell model is characterized by a slight deviation of the theoretically calculated characteristics from the characteristics of the real solar cell, one of the reasons being the complexity of the accurate measurement of the series resistance. The single-diode solar cell model uses the current and voltage ratio in the form of an implicit function and it cannot be solved directly. For its solution it is necessary to use numerical methods. This is main disadvantage of the single-diode solar cell model. The methodological approach to increasing the reliability of the solar cell diagnostic has been proposed, in terms of multi-parameter the solar cell diagnostic by applying the solar cell impedance model.
The mental map of national hierarchy in Europe

Abstract We theorize that people’s perceptions of national hierarchy are aligned not only with longstanding cultural schemas of development but also with schemas of cultural wealth. We use data from the Nation Brands Index surveys to examine how European publics’ evaluate their own country and other European countries across many attributes. We find that European publics rank northwest European countries highest on developmental attributes and southwestern European nations highest on cultural attributes, while they rank eastern European countries lowest in both categorizations. Moreover, we show that publics’ rankings of countries load to two related yet distinct factors, the contents of which closely reflect schemas of development and cultural wealth. This evidence suggests that these two distinct schemas are simultaneously present in Europeans’ perceptions of national hierarchy.
Validation of Diagnosis of Otitis Media with Effusion

Clinical research in otitis media requires that the investigator possess the ability to make an otoscopic diagnosis with a high degree of accuracy. A program has been instituted in which the investigators become validated to assure that their observations will be similar. In clinical practice and research, tympanometric measurements have been shown to complement the otoscopic examination; therefore, an algorithm has been developed that insures a high degree of accuracy and standardization of our data. The definitions and classification of otitis media used by the OMRC are those that were proposed at the Second International Symposium on Recent Advances in Otitis Media with Effusion.
