Business Rationale for Linked Data at Governments: A Case Study at the Netherlands’ Kadaster Data Platform

Linked Data is an innovative approach for publishing heterogeneous data sources on the web. As such, it can transcend the traditional confines of separate databases, as well as the confines of separate institutions. At the same time, businesses and governmental organizations alike are trying to cope with ever-increasing quantities of heterogeneous data that must be used across multiple departments, manufacturing locations, and governmental bodies. Linked Data would, therefore, be a great technological solution for today’s organizational problems. However, we observe that a serious gap exists between Linked Data research and business research. While Linked Data research is almost exclusively technologically oriented, the business research literature has not devoted much attention to the use of Linked Data solutions yet. In this paper, we seek to bridge this gap, by introducing a real-world use case where Linked Data technologies are applied in large-scale government settings. We argue in detail that Linked Data provides a major contribution to the business vision of a modern governmental institution based on the experience of the Netherlands’ Cadastre Land Registry and Mapping Agency (Kadaster), so far, the largest implementation of Linked Data in the governments of the Netherlands.
Moderating effects of green IS on the relationship between organizational agility, customer experience and digital service innovation to achieve sustainable performance

This study focuses on the empirical analysis to assess the role of digitalization through Green Information System (GIS) on the relationship between organizational agility (OA), customer experience (CX), and digital service innovation (DSI) to achieve sustainable performance (SP) in the Indonesian Information Communication and Technology (ICT) industry. The authors seek to examine the technological impact as part of digital transformation antecedents of CX and OA in developing DSI. The study also aims to investigate the digital transformation model to attain a more sustainableICT performance in Indonesia. The novelty of this study lies in the identifying and testing the concurrent effects of studied variables in improving the understanding of DSI and SP as part of the Indonesian ICT digital transformation model. The study used a sample of 195 Indonesia ICT firms. The finding from PLS-SEM reveals that GIS has a significant moderating role in accelerating the development ofDSI on the relationship with CX and OA, while SP is positively and significantly influenced by CS, OA and DSI. The implication and the proposed of digital transformation model for Indonesian ICT firms is also discussed in this paper.
Screening for boron toxicity tolerance of oilseed rape genotypes.

Screening of 16 oilseed rape (Brassica napus L) genotypes for boron (B) boron toxicity tolerance was performed by growing plants in nutrient solutions. Plants were exposed to two levels of external B supply: 10 μM (control) and 1000 μM (toxic) for four weeks. Genotypic variation in plant growth and B accumulation was significant. Four genotypes had good relative growth (NS-L-7, Banacanka, NS-l-13, Navaho); while at others it was less then 50% (Silvia, Panther, Artus, NS-L-15). Root and shoot B concentration did not correspond to relative growth in contrasting genotypes. This indicates that fast screening techniques should be combined with other findings regarding B accumulation in plants.
Semantic Primitives Extraction for XBRL Domain Ontology

At present, XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) has been used in more and more countries and organizations. Although XBRL has achieved a series of remarkable achievements, the current development of XBRL has also encountered bottlenecks. On the one hand, the XBRL field has not been unified. On the other hand, the semantics of concepts in the domain ontology of XBRL is weak, resulting in the slow application and promotion of XBRL. This paper regulates the extraction of semantic primitives in the ontology of XBRL domain from the perspective of semantics and solves the problem of “how to extract semantic primitives”. The solution to this problem can promote computers to better understand XBRL financial reports and reduce the technical difficulty of XBRL. This paper comprehensively uses the theories of semantic primitives, graph theory, and domain ontology. First, it analyzes the research status and shortcomings of semantic primitive extraction methods. Second, it constructs a graph of accounting term relationship network from the perspective of graph theory. The extraction of semantic primitives. Finally, the validity of semantic primitive extraction is analyzed and verified.
Effects of age, size and temperature on the advertisement calls of two Spanish populations of Pelodytes punctatus

Advertisement calls of males from two Spanish populations of parsley frogs ( Pelodytes punctatus ) were recorded. Body size (SVL, mass) and calling temperature were measured, and age was determined through skeletochronology of phalanges. Calling males were 2-7 years old in Valencia. In Burgos, males were 1-6 years old and the age structure was highly skewed with more than 50% of the sample of males being 1 year old. The range of body temperatures of calling males was similar in both sites (10-15.1°C in Valencia, and 10-17.5°C in Burgos). Males called with the typical two-note advertisement call A-B, although in Burgos it was common to hear A-only calls. In both populations repetition of the second note was rare. Calls of both populations showed a negative correlation between temporal parameters (note duration, inter-note interval, pulse rate) and body temperature. On the other hand, spectral parameters (dominant frequencies and dominant frequency ranges) were not correlated to temperature and correlation with body size (SVL, mass) was non-significant. Age was not significantly correlated with dominant frequency or with any other measured call parameter. Call frequency in Pelodytes is a poor predictor of male body size and does not convey information on age. Thus, any size-related mating trends could result from non-static calling parameters such as call intensity, or from mechanisms of malemale competition (e.g. chorus attendance).
Corticosterone and Dispersal in Western Screech-Owls ( Otus kennicottii )

Belthoff and Dufty (in press) posed a model for dispersal in screech-owls and similar nonmigratory birds. The model is based on interactions among hormonal changes, body condition, and locomotor activity patterns. It predicts that corticosterone increases in blood plasma prior to dispersal under endogenous and exogenous influences, and this increase mediates the locomotor activity that underlies dispersal. Juveniles in good body condition (i.e., those with sufficient fat reserves) will disperse at that time, while birds in poor body condition will not. The latter will increase their foraging activity under the influence of corticosterone and disperse later. This paper presents preliminary data that show that locomotor activity levels are reduced in captive Western Screech-owls at the time of dispersal under the influence of a corticosterone-blocking drug.
Theory and Solutions of Heat Pulse Method for Determining Soil Thermal Properties

Information on thermal properties of soil is of paramount importance for environmental and earth science, and engineering. The heat pulse (HP) method has become the key technology for accurate determination of soil thermal properties and a variety of other physical properties (e.g., water content, bulk density, and water flux) in both laboratory and field environments. The HP method is a transient method that is commonly based on the analytical solutions to the radial heat flow equation when a line-heat source is applied. Over the past few decades, great endeavors have been devoted to advance the HP method. For example, the evolution and development in probe design, data logging equipment, data interpretation and computing capability has remarkably improved the accuracy and ease of use for determining soil thermal properties. However, there is a lack of study collating and synthesizing the development of the theory/solutions to obtain thermal properties of soil using the HP method. In this paper, we review the fundamental theories and solutions of the HP method, including differences and similarities of theories and applications between instantaneous line heat source (ILHS) and short-duration line heat-source (SLHS), between dual-probe heat-pulse (DPHP) and single-probe heat-pulse (SPHP) methods, and between the non-linear model fit (NMF) method and single point (SPM) method for data interpretation. In addition, the numerical solutions and semi-analytical solutions are also presented to provide heat pulse users information for selecting the best-fit method to meet their goals.
Modeling Alkaline Phosphatase Inactivation in Bovine Milk During High-Temperature Short-Time Pasteurization

Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is used as the indicator enzyme for proper pasteurization of bovine milk. Predictive modeling of AP inactivation during high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization would support regulations; thus ensuring the safety of heat treated milk. Activation energy (Ea) of AP in milk was measured experimentally using the capillary tube method, and Ea was found to be 429252 J/mol. The Ea was used to develop a nonlinear model to describe the thermal inactivation of milk in a small-scale HTST pasteurizer with a plate heat exchanger. Integrated pasteurization effect (PE) was obtained at different holding temperatures (62–72°C) and holding times (3–25 s), by converting times at different temperatures in various sections of the pasteurizer to the equivalent time at the reference temperature (72°C). A nonlinear function was developed to relate the log(% residual AP activity) to PE. The r 2 varied from 0.7488 to 0.8311. The validation trial indicated that the model could predict AP activity accurately for the% residual AP activity >1%.
Multifunctional Carbon Dots Based Nanoparticles Coupling Optical and pH-Dependent Drug Release Properties as Drug Delivery Platforms

Abstract A kind of red emissive carbon dots (R-CDs) that were synthesized by a hydrothermal method reacted with PEG polymer (mPEG-CHO) as nanocarriers (R-CD@mPEG-CHO). DOX was selected to be the model drug and loaded on the surface of R-CDs by physical adsorption. The mPEG-CHO polymer reacted with R-CDs and the benzoic acid-amine bond was formed through click reaction, which enabled the R-CD@mPEG-CHO to have pH responsive ability in tumor microenvironment and achieved controlled drug release. And PEGylation can suppress drug burst release in vitro. A potential multi-functional nanocarrier system was successfully built.
Probiotic activity of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus in the oral cavity

Abstract The long established tradition of yogurt consumption has been related to longevity of some populations living on the Balkans. Yogurt starter L. delbrueckii subsp . bulgaricus and Str. thermophilus have recently been recognized as probiotics with verified beneficial health effects. The oral cavity emerges as a relevant target for probiotic applications and probiotics have demonstrated promising results in controlling dental diseases and yeast infections. However, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus despite its broad availability in fermented dairy products has not been evaluated for possible probiotic activity in the mouth. These series of studies were conducted to investigate in vitro properties of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus to outline its potential as an oral probiotic. Prerequisite probiotic properties in the oral cavity are resistance to oral defense mechanisms, adherence to saliva-coated surfaces, and inhibition of oral pathogens . L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strains showed a strain-dependent inhibition of oral streptococci and
Migration of polyethylene glycol coated gold nanoparticles in surrogate natural barriers

ABSTRACT Introduction: Studies on migration behaviors of colloidal materials through engineered and natural barriers are highly important for the safety assessment of radioactive waste repositories since the fate and transport of radionuclides may be significantly affected by interactions with colloids.Methods: Poly (ethylene glycol) coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used as a model colloid and the effects of the properties of AuNPs on their migration behaviors were investigated in batch and column experiments with silica sand.Results: Deposition of AuNPs on silica sand and aggregation of AuNPs were observed more for larger AuNPs despite the unfavorable conditions of both AuNPs and silica sand having overall negative surface charges. Sloping plateaus were observed in the breakthrough curves, suggesting that a limited number of sites arising from charge heterogeneities on silica sand may be responsible for attractive forces between AuNPs and silica sand. However, stronger affinity toward silica sand and with each other was observed for larger AuNPs which have more significant negative surface charges.Conclusions: The results suggest that interactions other than electrostatic and van der Waals (vdW) are controlling the migration behavior of AuNPs, including steric effects arising from the surface coating, thus need to be considered when assessing fate and transport of nanoparticles.
Flexible Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW)-Fed Y-Shaped Patch UWB Antenna for Off-Body Communication

This paper intends to design an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antenna for future Internet of Things (IoT) applications for off-body Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) communication. An antenna based on the Y-shaped patch fed using co-planar waveguide (CPW) line, with a full ground plane is designed. It is implemented on two different substrates, namely a 5mm thick Rogers RO4350B and a 5-mm-thick felt textile. Parametric analysis of antenna is performed by changing its critical dimensions and monitoring parameters such as gain, bandwidth, efficiency, radiation pattern when using both substrates. Besides that, the bending effects towards reflection coefficient and radiation patterns are also studied. The final patch size with the Y-shaped slot is 36 × 40 mm2 for both substrates. The antenna is capable of providing coverage for the bands from 8 to 10 GHz. Finally, the antenna designed on RO4350B substrate outperforms the antenna designed on felt by about four times in terms of bandwidth, with 3.3 GHz (7.7–11 GHz).
Modeling of the Opened Shell Forced Vibrations with a Small Associated Mass, with Hinged Operation by the Pade’ Aproximation Method

In many constructions of buildings and structures, aircraft, etc. open hinged shells of small curvature are used. During operation, such structures are subjected to cyclic loads that cause shells to oscillate. The presence of an attached mass - the outdoor units of air conditioners, roof fans, balconies, fuel tanks, etc. -also has a significant effect on vibrations. The mechanisms of oscillations of such structures have not been fully studied, and therefore emergencies arise due to the resonance phenomenon caused by forced oscillations. In the laboratory of building structures of Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University, a test bench was made and open shells tested to determine the numerical frequency characteristics of the vibrations of open shells. The boundary conditions of which are articulated on the elastic material at the edges. The article describes the obtained new mathematical models based on the results of experimental studies. Experimental verification confirmed the correctness of using a refined mathematical model of the mechanism of oscillations of an open shell with a small added mass.
The Relationship Between Perceived Discrimination and School/Work–Family Conflict Among Graduate Student-Parents

Work–family conflict (WFC) is commonly experienced by individuals who have roles in both the work and family domains including graduate students with children and/or dependents. Graduate student-parents have the additional strain of school, which can contribute to school–family conflict (SFC) as well. The purpose of this study was to examine whether burnout mediates the deleterious effects of parent-based discrimination on work- and family-related outcomes. We used a mediation modeling design to test whether the distal effects of such bias occur due to increased levels of burnout. Results indicated that burnout mediated the relationship between perceived discrimination and SFC and WFC. The control variables of gender, number of children, year in academic program, and residency status did not significantly predict burnout, SFC, or WFC. Practical and clinical implications are discussed in addition to suggestions for future research.
Strategies Employed by Ohio Community Colleges to Improve Labor Market Outcomes for Older Students

ABSTRACT To remain competitive in the labor market, many middle-aged and older adults need to upgrade existing or learn new skills through occupational training and education. Furthermore, as compared with the past, employers now are more willing to hire older workers after completing a credential due to a low unemployment rate. Moreover, employers often collaborate with community colleges to provide workforce training for their employees. Community colleges are the preferred choice for older students due to affordability, open-access admission, a greater number of credential options including short-term credentials, and convenient locations. However, little is known about challenges and opportunities for improving labor market outcomes at community colleges for adults ages 40 and older. Based on thematic analysis of student and faculty focus groups and individual interviews with staff and administrators at 23 Ohio community colleges, this paper identifies strategies community colleges employ to improve labor market outcomes for middle-aged and older adults (age 40 and older) and to meet the needs of employers. Additionally, challenges faced by older community college students during training, retraining, and finding employment are discussed.
From MEMS to NEMS: Scaling Cantilever Sensors

This thesis studies the effects of scaling on the characterisation and readout of micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) to nano-electro mechanical systems (NEMS). In particular it focuses on cantilever, which is a basic device building block and an important transducer in many sensing applications. This thesis presents an overview of major scaling effects and discusses their scaling factors. It includes scaling analysis on physical property aspects such as quality factor, Young’s modulus, thermal noise and elastic non-linearity. It also includes scaling analysis on practical aspects such as sensitivity, mass-stiffness decoupling and surface contamination. Furthermore, it studies the scaling of different cantilever detection techniques, in particular the laser deflection, hard contact, field emission and piezoresistive sensing techniques. Down-scaling a cantilever sensor is an intuitive way of increasing its sensitivity and responsiveness. However the advantages gained must be weighed against other effects which also became significant due to the scaling. For this reason, this thesis provides the necessary information, analysis and methods that help assessing the advantages and disadvantages of scaling.
COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OF ELYSIABANGTAWAENSIS SWENNEN, 1998, ELYSIA LEUCOLEGNOTE JENSEN, 1990, AND ELYSIA SINGAPORENSIS SWENNEN, 2011 (GASTROPODA: SACOGLOSSA: PLAKOBRANCHIDAE)

Reproductive systems of three sacoglossan species, Elysia bangtawaensis Swennen, 1998, E. leucolegnote Jensen, 1990, and E. singaporensis Swennen, 2011, were analyzed using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, whole mount technique and a stereomicroscope in order to investigate its reproductive system. Elysia bangtawaensis and E. leucolegnote were collected from a waterway in the tidal area of the mangrove forest around Pattani Bay, Thailand, and E. singaporensis was collected from old mangrove forest bordering east side of Sungai Buloh Wetland Park, Singapore. The differences and similarities of reproductive system among three species are:1) Elysia bangtawaensis and E. leucolegnote have separate male and female follicles, but in E. singaporensis, the follicles were not separated; 2)penis in all three species has conical shape without a stylet but minor morphological differences were found; 3) all species have triaulic reproductive systems including a vaginal duct, a vas deferens and an oviduct; 4) absence of seminal receptacle, genital receptacle and ampulla in E. bangtawaensis unlike that in other two Elysia species in which which genital receptacle and ampulla are found. There is one ampulla on each side of E. leucolegnote, and four on each side of E. singaporensis. This information of the reproductive systems of the three species can serve as the basis for future comparative studies with other Plakobranchacea.
Effect of Heat Treatment of Martensitic Stainless Steel on Passive Layer Growth Kinetics Studied by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in Conjunction with the Point Defect Model

Martensitic stainless steels are widely used materials. Their mechanical and corrosion properties are strongly influenced by their microstructure and thereby can be affected by heat treatment. In the present study, the effect of different austenitizing temperatures on the passive film growth kinetics of martensitic stainless steel is studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The data was further fitted by the point defect model to determine kinetic parameters. We show that an increasing austenitizing temperature leads to a more protective passive film and slows down passive film dissolution in sulfuric acid.
