A Modiﬁed Iterative Automatic Method for Characterization at Shear Resonance: Case Study of Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Ti 0.90 Zr 0.10 O 3 Eco-Piezoceramics

: Coupling between electrically excited electromechanical resonances of piezoelectric ceramics is undesirable for the purpose of their characterization, since the material models correspond to monomodal resonances. However, coupling takes place quite often and it is unavoidable at the shear resonance of standard in-plane poled and thickness-excited rectangular plates. The piezoelectric coe ﬃ cient e 15 , the elastic compliance s 55 E and the dielectric permittivity component ε 11 S for a piezoelectric ceramic can be determined, including all losses, using the automatic iterative method of analysis of the complex impedance curves for the shear mode of an appropriated resonator. This is the non-standard, thickness-poled and longitudinally excited, shear plate. In this paper, the automatic iterative method is modiﬁed. The purpose is to be able to deal with the analysis of the impedance curves of the non-standard plate as the periodic phenomena of coupling and decoupling of the main shear resonance and other resonances takes place. This happens when the thickness of the plate is reduced, and its aspect ratio (width of the excitation ( w ) / thickness for poling ( t )) is increased. In this process, the frequency of the shear resonance also increases and meets those of other plate modes periodically. We aim to obtain the best approach for the shear properties of near coupling and to reveal both their validity and the limitations of the thus-obtained information. Finally, we use a plate of a Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Ti 0.90 Zr 0.10 O 3 eco-piezoceramic as a case study.
Multi-inference on the Edge: Scheduling Networks with Limited Available Memory

The execution of multi-inference tasks on low-powered edge devices has become increasingly popular in recent years for adding value to data on-device. The focus of the optimization of such jobs has been on hardware, neural network architectures, and frameworks to reduce execution speed. However, it is yet not known how different scheduling policies affect the execution speed of a multi-inference job. An empirical study has been performed to investigate the effects of scheduling policies on multi-inference. The execution performance information of multi-inference batch jobs under combinations of loading and scheduling policies were determined under varying levels of constrained memory. These results were obtained us-ing EdgeCaffe: a framework developed to execute Caffe networks on edge oriented devices. Our research showed that a novel scheduling policy, M E M A , can signiﬁcantly reduce execution speed under stringent memory availability. Overall, this study demonstrates that scheduling policies can signiﬁcantly reduce the execution speed of multi-inference jobs.
The Role of Speci ﬁ c Alcohol-Related Problems in Predicting Depressive Experiences in a Cross-Sectional National Household Survey

Aims: This study examines the type of alcohol-related problems that commonly occur before the onset of depressive experiences to shed light on the mechanisms underlying the alcohol-depression comorbidity relationship. Methods: Data were from the 1992 USA National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey. Ana-lytical sample comprised of drinkers with a prior to past year (PPY) history of alcohol-related problems with or without any experiences of depressed mood in the past year (PY). The prevalence of PPY alcohol-related problems was examined, as well as the ability of speci ﬁ c alcohol problems to predict PY experiences of depressed mood. The type of depressed mood experienced by drinkers with PPY history of alcohol-related problems was compared to those without. Results: All but one alcohol-related problem PPY was more frequently endorsed among drinkers with PY experiences of depressed mood. Controlling for confounders, ﬁ ve alcohol-related problems experienced PPY were signi ﬁ cantly predictive of depressed mood PY: tolerance, drinking longer than intended, inability to perform important social and occupational roles/obligations, as well as drinking in physically hazardous situations. Drinkers with alcohol-related problems PPY more frequently experienced dif ﬁ culties with concentration, energy, and thoughts of death, than those without.
Design of Warning System for Student Support Services

Many academies encounter with the student resigning or dropping out midway. This situation affects the reduction of the student retention rate. The objective of this paper is to design the student support service warning system. When the system finds the student who has problems, the warning messages are displayed to staffs or advisors. Then, the staff ad advisor could know the student who needs for incubation. Next, the troubleshooting is applied to solve the problem for the student case by case. In this paper, the system is tried out and evaluated by fifteen staffs and advisors. The result shows that the student support services process life cycle consists of five components: 1) student data collection 2) data analytics and problem classification 3) warning and appointment making 4) incubation and 5) monitoring and incubated evaluation. After the samples trying out the system, their rating in system performance is satisfied with the average mean and the standard deviation equal to 4.23 and 0.57 respectively.
Comparison of Missing Data Analysis Methods in Cox Proportional Hazard Models

Objective: Data with missing value are common in clinical studies. This study investi - gated to assess the effects of different missing data analysis techniques on the performance of Cox proportional hazard model. Material and Methods: In order to see how sample size and missing rate effect the missing data analysis techniques, we derived the survival data with 25, 50 and 100 sam - ple sizes. Some elements of the survival data with different sample size were deleted in different rates under MAR (Missing at Random) assumption to generate incomplete data sets which had 5%, 10%, 20% and 40% missing value for each data. Data sets with missing values were completed by five missing data analysis techniques (complete case Analysis-CCA, mean imputation, regression im - putation-REG, expectation maximization-EM algorithm, multiple imputation-MI). The new com - pleted data sets were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard model and their results were compared with results of original data. Results: The difference between the techniques grew for increasing missing rate and while the sample size increased the methods were similar to each other. CCA was the most affected from sample size. The estimates from the methods REG, EM and MI were very similar to each other and real value. Conclusion: Multiple imputation method as impute more than one value for each missing value should be preferred instead of single imputation methods as im - pute only one value for each missing value.
TenDoc: Network Coding-based Software for Wireless Ad hoc Networks

—This work builds upon previous studies that highlight the benefits of Network Coding for all to all traffic patterns. This is the case within the framework of an optimized link state routing protocol (OLSR) where topology control messages are flooded in the entire network in order to provide a precise knowledge of the topology to all single nodes in the network. The flooding efficiency is often measured either in terms of successful dissemination delay or the number of transmissions needed to achieve this goal. In this paper we present the new TenDoc software that has been first designed to support any applications and that has been adapted especially for this OLSR use case. After recalling our own previous simulation-based investigations, we detail the architecture of this TenDoc software and finally present results from our results from our experimental platform.
University of Birmingham Fuzzy emotion recognition model for video sequences

— Automatic facial expression recognition from video clips is a challenging task due to computational complexity, limitations of image analysis and subjectivity. This paper advocates a fuzzy based approach for emotion classification. On the other hand, several proposals have been put forward to enhance the pre-processing stage prior to the classification. This includes a combination of a boundary elliptical model for skin detection, adaptive thresholding, principal component analysis and use of cam-shift for face tracking. The performances of the developed system have been evaluated using TFEID and video clips and compared with Bayes’ classifier.
MINI-REVIEW Are Beta Blockers New Potential Anticancer Agents?

of Abstract β-Blockers have been one of the most widely used and versatile drugs for the past half a century. A new potential for their use as anti-cancer drugs has emerged in the past few years. Various retrospective case control studies have been suggestive that use of β-blockers before the diagnosis of cancer could have preventive and protective effects against non-small cell lung carcinoma, melanoma, and breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. Experimental and clinical observations are still inconclusive with some inconsistent findings. However, indications are pointing toward a positive role of some β-blockers against certain forms of cancers. This mini review is an effort to present the up to date published results of case-control studies and experimental findings.
methods N -Azidoacetylmannosamine-mediated chemical tagging of gangliosides

Peracetylated N - a -azidoacetylmannosamine (Ac 4 ManNAz) is metabolized by cells to CMP-azidosialic acid. It has been demonstrated previously that in this way azidosialic acid-containing glycoproteins are formed that can be labeled on the cell surface by a modified Staudinger ligation. Here, we first demonstrate that the same procedure also results in the formation of azidosialic acid-contain-ing gangliosides. Deoxymannojirimycin, an inhibitor of N -glycan processing in proteins, decreases the total cell surface labeling in Jurkat cells by ? 25%. Inhibition of ganglioside biosynthesis with N -[5-(adamantan-1-yl-methoxy)-pentyl]1-deoxynojirimycin reduces cell surface labeling by ? 75%. In conclusion, exposure of cells to Ac 4 ManNAz allows in vivo chemical tagging of gangliosides. — Bussink, A. P., P. F. van Swieten, K. Ghauharali, S. Scheij, M. van Eijk, T. Wennekes, G.

Using Expert and Empirical Knowledge for Context-aware Recommendation of Visualization Components

—Although many valuable visualizations have been developed to gain insights from large datasets, selecting an appropriate visualization for a speciﬁc dataset and goal remains challenging for non-experts. In this article, we propose a novel approach for knowledge-assisted, context-aware visualization recommendation. Therefore, both semantic web data and visualization components are annotated with formalized visualization knowledge from an ontology. We present a recommendation algorithm that leverages those annotations to provide visualization components that support the users’ data and task. Since new visualization knowledge is generated while working with a visual analytics system due to users insights, particularly a component is suitable or not for a selected dataset, we track these ﬁndings by means of users explicit and implicit ratings. This empirical visualization knowledge is reused in subsequent recommendations to better adapt the ranking of components to users needs. We successfully proved the practicability of our approach by integrating it into a mashup-based research prototypes called VizBoard.
Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Security Analysis of Some Proxy Signature

A proxy signature scheme allows an entity to delegate his/her signing capability to another entity in such a way that the latter can sign messages on behalf of the former. Such schemes have been suggested for use in a number of applications, particularly in distributed computing where delegation of rights is quite common. Followed by the ﬁrst schemes introduced by Mambo, Usuda and Okamoto in 1996, a number of new schemes and improvements have been proposed. In this paper, we present a security analysis of four such schemes newly proposed in [14, 15]. By successfully identifying several interesting forgery attacks, we show that these four schemes all are insecure . Consequently, the fully distributed proxy scheme in [11] is also insecure since it is based on the (insecure) LKK scheme [13, 14]. In addition, we point out the reasons why the security proofs provided in [14] are invalid.
Signatures of Immune Evasion Associated with Blast Transcriptional Leukemia Patients at Diagnosis Are Defective NK Cells in Acute Myeloid

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies that may be sensitive to the NK cell antitumor response. However, NK cells are frequently defective in AML. In this study, we found in an exploratory cohort ( n = 46) that NK cell status at diagnosis of AML separated patients in two groups with a different clinical outcome. Patients with a deﬁcient NK cell proﬁle, including reduced expression of some activating NK receptors (e.g., DNAX accessory molecule-1, NKp46, and NKG2D) and decreased IFN- g production, had a signiﬁcantly higher risk of relapse ( p = 0.03) independently of cytogenetic classiﬁcation in multivariate analysis. Patients with defective NK cells showed a profound gene expression decrease in AML blasts for cytokine and chemokine signaling (e.g., IL15 , IFNGR1, IFNGR2 , and CXCR4 ), Ag processing (e.g., HLA-DRA , HLA-DRB1 , and CD74 ) and adhesion molecule pathways (e.g., PVR and ICAM1 ). A set of 388 leukemic classiﬁer genes deﬁned in a multicentric cohort interplay cells and blasts at diagnosis allowing an immune-based stratiﬁcation of AML patients independently of clinical classiﬁcations.

The HEART (High Energy Astrophysical Radiative Transfer) code: modelling X-ray binaries and AGN

We present a new, time dependent, three-dimensional code for modelling the inner regions of X-ray binaries and AGN, where the photon distribution emitted by the accretion disc evolves simultaneously with the interacting electron distribution. The HEART (High Energy Astrophysical Radiative Transfer) code can model many different geometries including a spherical corona and an inhomogeneous corona. Inverse Compton scattering, bremsstrahlung, synchrotron radiation, Coulomb interactions, reprocessing of photons by the accretion disk, electron-positron annihilation and pair production are modelled. Electron distributions may be of power law form, thermal or a combination. We include some fits to X-ray spectral data and some results already obtained using the code.
Inﬂuence of Host Immunity on Parasite Diversity in Theileria parva (cid:1)

We examined the inﬂuence of host immunity on the genotypic diversity of the intracellular transforming cattle parasite Theileria parva . By tracking the emergence of discrete parasite genotypes in an animal challenged with a bulk stabilate following immunization with its major component clone, we observed a profound modulation of genotypic frequencies in the breakthrough schizont population. In particular, no incidences of the immunizing clone were observed and a progressive decline was apparent in the relatedness of breakthrough genotypes to it. These observations were reﬂected in the genotypic proﬁle of transmissible parasite stages that emerged in the erythrocyte fraction of the animal and in parasite progeny generated by tick pickup. In a separate experiment, genotypic proﬁles of breakthrough parasite populations were observed to vary between unrelated immune animals selected on the basis of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I phenotype, a known determinant of the speciﬁcity of the immune response. Furthermore, immunization and challenge of calves with molecularly distinct but cross-protective parasite populations revealed that infection results in transmissible erythrocyte forms in spite of a protective immune response. These observations suggest that immunity does not prevent transmission of challenge parasites
H ABITAT D IVERSITY OF H ERMIT C RAB C LIBANARIUS LONGITARSUS (D E H AAN ) IN V ELLAR E STUARY , S OUTHEAST C OAST OF I NDIA

The habitat diversity of hermit crab Clibanarius longitarsus was studied in 5 stations of Vellar estuary. This hermit crab was found to occupy the shells of as many as 44 species of gastropods. The abundance of this hermit crab (144/m 2 - 41/m 2 ) so also the number species of gastropod shells it occupied decreased from the mouth to the upper reaches of estuary (39-11 species). The Shannon diversity (H’log2) was in the range of 4.08-2.64 in stations 1-5. The Margalef species richness showed clear differences between the stations and it varied from 7.52 in station 1 to 2.69 in station 5. The evenness was more in station 1 (0.77) and decreased to 0.65 in station 2 and thereafter it increased in stations 3 and 4 to reach 0.76 in station 5. The taxonomic diversity index decreased from station 1 (75.48) to station 4 (58.59) and increased in station 5 (62.2). The total phylogenetic diversity index which was more in station 1 (1840) decreased through stations 2-5 to reach 660 in station 5. The variation in taxonomic distinctness index increased from station 1 (362.67) to station 3 (468.78). The similarity in species composition of gastropod shells among the stations was in the range of 50.55%-81.73%. In cluster analysis the grouping was quite clear with stations in the lower reaches (stations 1 and 2) forming a group and stations in the middle of the estuary (stations 3 and 4) forming a group to which the station in the upper reaches (station 5) got linked. The cluster analysis and MDS clearly showed the variation in species composition between the stations. The average dissimilarity in species composition between stations 1 and 5 was 63.61%. Gastropod species which contributed to greater percentage of dissimilarity were Cerithidea fluviatilis, Umbonium vestiarium, Pila globosa, Babylonia spirata and Turritella acutangula . The abundance shown as bubble plot clearly showed the decreasing abundance of Cerithidea cingulata, Babylonia spirata and Turritella acutancula from the mouth to the upstream stations. The taxonomic relatedness tests carried out (95% funnel and 95% ellipse) also clearly showed the differences in the habitat diversity of the hermit crab in different stations of Vellar estuary.
Comparative Epidemiology of EU1 and NA1 Lineages of Phytophthora ramorum in Southwestern Oregon Tanoak Forests 1

Phytophthora ramorum, cause of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), is an invasive pathogen that infects over 100 species of plants and has been introduced multiple times into the coastal forests of southern Oregon and northern California. In southwestern Oregon forests, tanoak ( Notholithocarpus densiflorus ) is the most susceptible species developing lethal stem cankers and sporulating from infected leaves and branches. The NA1 lineage was first reported in Oregon in the early 2000s and in 2015 the EU1 lineage was discovered infecting tanoak in the South Fork Pistol River drainage in Curry Co., Oregon. Using an approach developed by Garbelotto and others (2017) sporulation of each lineage was compared at six sites (3 NA1; 3 EU1). Sporulation, temperature, and relative humidity were quantified for 5, 2-week intervals in winter 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. In addition, infection frequency of tanoak, Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ), western hemlock ( Tsuga heterophylla ), western larch ( Larix occidentalis ), and sitka spruce ( Picea sitchensis ) seedlings at the sites was also compared. Preliminary analysis indicates greater sporulation at EU1 sites compared to NA1; however, this did not correspond to increased infection of tanoak seedlings at EU1 versus NA1 sites. In contrast, there were differences in the infection frequency of Douglas-fir (EU1 = 37%; NA1 = 10%), western hemlock (EU1 = 10%; NA1 = 0%); sitka spruce (EU1 = 55%; NA1 = 0%); and larch (EU1 = 90%; NA1 = 13%). Differences in the infection rate of conifer seedlings at EU1 compared to NA1 sites and the implication for the management of SOD will be discussed.
Semiotic Annotation of Video Commercials: Why the artifact is the way it is?

—Traditionally, semantic annotation of audiovisual texts is used to describe expressive features and content of a product for a more efficient and effective browsing, retrieval, filtering or reuse of the resource. Drawing on semiotic theories, this paper proposes a new concept of annotation – called semiotic annotation – whose goal is to describe the multilayered structure of meanings inscribed within the audiovisual by its author/designer. The advantages of this kind of annotation is discussed with respect to means/ends analysis of video commercials. A case study is then illustrated that exploits a semiotic compliant informal ontology proposed in a previous work to assess the effectiveness of the conceptualization and the annotation method.
CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND ITS DETERMINANTS IN BANKING INDUSTRY: A STUDY IN MADURAI CITY

72 Abstract The Banking Industry is highly competitive, complex and in dynamic environment. It has led to a great transformation in the industry. The traditional product-oriented bank is becoming increasingly customer-oriented in accordance with the basic principles of relational marketing, which focuses on customer loyalty as its main goal. In this sense, Gilmore (1997) considers that constant customer oriented behaviour is a requisite for improving the implementation of quality in services marketing. In this sense, Barnes and Howlett (1998) argue that, given that many financial services are parity offerings, it can be stated that a customer is unlikely to be overly impressed by core product attributes when all companies are providing similar offerings.
Scattering simulation for inhomogeneous layered canopy and random targets beneath canopies by using the Mueller matrix solution of the pulse radiative transfer

The Mueller matrix solution of vector radiative transfer for inhomogeneous random media of nonspherical scatterers under a pulse incidence is presented. Copolarized and cross‐polarized bistatic scattering echoes can be numerically simulated. Temporally varying echoes well demonstrate volumetric and surface scattering mechanism and depict the inhomogeneous fraction profile of random scatterers. The effective height of inhomogeneous canopy inverted from the pulse echoes is discussed. Pulse echo patterns are also numerically simulated for polarimetric scattering from the model of random metal targets beneath the layered vegetation canopies.
Viral Mutation Rates (cid:1)

Accurate estimates of virus mutation rates are important to understand the evolution of the viruses and to combat them. However, methods of estimation are varied and often complex. Here, we critically review over 40 original studies and establish criteria to facilitate comparative analyses. The mutation rates of 23 viruses are presented as substitutions per nucleotide per cell infection (s/n/c) and corrected for selection bias where necessary, using a new statistical method. The resulting rates range from 10 (cid:1) 8 to10 (cid:1) 6 s/n/c for DNA viruses and from 10 (cid:1) 6 to 10 (cid:1) 4 s/n/c for RNA viruses. Similar to what has been shown previously for DNA viruses, there appears to be a negative correlation between mutation rate and genome size among RNA viruses,
