Two fungal isolates from the Spitzbergen soils after the microscopic 24 observations and ITS region molecular characterization were identified as Mortierella antarctica 25 (MA DEM 7) and Mortierella verticillata (MV DEM32). To study the synthesis of indoleacetic acid 26 (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA) Mortierella strains were grown on media supplemented with 27 precursors of phytohormones (tryptophan or methionine) at 9, 15 and 20°C for 9 days. The highest 28 amount of IAA synthesis was observed in MV DEM 32 9-day culture at 15°C with 1.5 mM of 29 tryptophan. At the same temperature the significant promoting effect (about 40% root and shoot fresh 30 weight) of this strain on seedlings was observed. However, only MA DEM 7 had the ACC-deaminase 31 activity with the highest efficiency in 9°C and at this temperature synthesized IAA without 32 tryptophan also at the same conditions the strain confirmed the strong promoting effect (about 40% 33 root and 24% shoot fresh weight) on seedlings. Both strains synthesized GA in all tested terms and 34 temperatures. Tested Mortierella strains had some important traits to consider them as microbial 35 biofertilizers component improving plant growth in difficult temperate climate. 36
Confidence intervals on several functions of the components of variance in a one-way random effects experiment

Variability is inherent in most data and often it is useful to study the variability so scientists are able to make more accurate statements about their data. One of the most popular ways of analyzing variance in data is by making use of a one-way ANOVA which consists of partitioning the variability among observations into components of variability corresponding to between groups and within groups. One then has σY 2 = σ A 2 +σ e 2 . Thus there are two variance components. In certain situations, in addition to estimating these components of variance, it is important to estimate functions of the variance components. This report is devoted to methods for constructing confidence intervals for three particular functions of variance components in the unbalanced Oneway random effects models. In order to compare the performance of the methods, simulations were conducted using SAS® and the results were compared across several scenarios based on the number of groups, the number of observations within each group,
Efeito Rashba em isolantes topológicos

In this work, were studied the Rashba e ect in topological insulators without structural inversion symmetry. We performed a rst principles study based on density functional theory to calculate the atomistic properties, formation energy and electronic structure. These results were used to development a e ective Hamiltonian based on Zhang model. They were studied two systems: 1) Bi2Se3 with Sn atoms deposited on the surface: This system can be seen as the Rashba e ect manifestation on a topological insulator due to the structural inversion symmetry breaking. For a speci c deposition site, the Sn atoms cause a reconstruction of the surface and display a third Dirac cone in the electronic structure. This third cone is not located on the surface and can be understood as the giant Rashba e ect manifestation. 2) We propose a new non-centrosymmetric honeycomb-lattice QSH insulator family formed by the IV, V, and VII elements. The system formed by Bi, Pb and I atoms is reported here as a new 2D topological insulator with Rashba e ect. We show that this system has: i) Mechanical stability, ii) textit spin-splitting Rashba of 60 meV, iii) nontrivial energy gap of 0.14 eV, iv) backscattering forbidden for both edge and bulk conductivity channels in the nanoribbon band structure. These properties make PbBiI a good candidate to construct spintronic devices with less energy loss.
DEFINING BIOMARKER PERFORMANCE AND CLINICAL VALIDITY DEFINISANJE PERFORMANSI I KLINI^KE VALIDNOSTI BIOMARKERA

Summary: In the evaluation of biomarkers three questions can be answered: what is the analytical validity of the marker, what is its clinical validity, and does the marker have clinical utility? In most cases, clinical validity will be expressed in terms of the marker’s accuracy: the degree to which it can be used to correctly identify diseased patients or, more ge n erally, patients with the target condition. Diagnostic accur acy is evaluated in studies in which the biomarker values are compared to the outcome of the clinical reference standard in the same patients. There are several ways in which the results of diagnostic accuracy studies can be summarized, reported, and interpreted. In this paper we summarize and present the available measures. We classify these as errorbas ed measures, information-based measures, and mea sures of the strength of the association. Clinical validity is linked to clinical utility. If the target condition is well defined and associated with unequivocal downstream management de cisions, clinical validity, when defined in comparative terms, may sometimes act as a surrogate outcome measure for clinical utility.
Effects of Pre-Announced Product Characteristics on Customer's Purchase Intention

The purpose of this paper is to analyze that which attributes of NPP effect on the customer decision-making regarding the purchase intention of the customer. As in the customer decision making process, persuasion stage have most influencing effect in which the attributes of the new product seems to be have a strong impact on the purchase intention; this paper aims to empirically verify the effects of the attributes of the new product on the customer’s purchase intention for the new preannounced product. Adopted questioners were used as primary source for data collection and cross tabulation method is used to analyze the data. The finding of this paper shows the positive impact of relative advantage, compatibility, obserbility and triablity on the customer’s purchase intention while the complexity has the negative relation to the purchase intention.

This can also be helpful to increase the percentage of the innovators in the diffusion cycle of the innovation.
Crustal structure from gravity signatures in the Iberian Peninsula

Through two-dimensional fi ltering and spectral analysis of gravity data, we infer the density structure of the Iberia Peninsula’s lithosphere (western Europe). The gravity anomaly map of the Iberian Peninsula displays long-wavelength anomaly minima related to Alpine ranges. These anomalies are primarily linked to a greater crustal thickness. Low-pass filtering of the anomaly map using a cutoff wavelength of 150 km was adequate for effective separation of shallow and deep sources used for computing the three-dimensional (3-D) Moho interface. Tsuboi’s technique (identical to the equivalent stratum theorem) is used here to map the 3-D Moho interface by selecting mean source depths from the results of the spectral analysis, and assuming a homogeneous density contrast of 350 kg/m3. The most characteristic feature of the 3-D Moho geometry was the presence of several lows associated with mountain ranges created by Alpine tectonics. In those areas, the gravity-derived Moho reaches a depth of up to 45 km in the Pyrenees and Cantabrian Mountains and close to 40 km under the betics, Central System, and Iberian Chain. Under the Iberian Massif, the western part of the Iberian Peninsula composed of a Variscan basement, the Moho was located at a depth of 30–36 km. These results are consistent with existing seismic data and indicate that gravity-based techniques can provide very good estimates of lithosphere structure.
PPARγ Pro 12 Ala and His 447 His polymorphisms and susceptibility to Alzheimer ’ s disease : a meta-analysis

We investigated whether Pro12Ala (C→G) and His447His (C→T) polymorphisms of the peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor gamma (PPARg) gene are associated with susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We conducted a metaanalysis of the associations between the PPARg Pro12Ala and His447His polymorphisms and AD in subjects. The meta-analysis was performed according to the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 allele status. A total of eight studies were considered in our meta-analysis, comprising 2948 patients with AD and 3753 controls. Meta-analysis showed no association between AD and the PPARg Pro12Ala G allele in any of the study subjects [odds ratio (OR) = 1.013, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.906-1.132, P = 0.821] or in the European and Asian populations (OR = 0.997, 95%CI = 0.890-1.118, P = 0.965; OR = 1.409, 95%CI = 0.832-2.387, P = 0.202, respectively). We tested whether the APOE ɛ4 allele affects the association between the PPARg Pro12Ala polymorphism and AD. Meta-analysis showed no association between AD and the PPARg G allele in any of the study subjects with or without the APOE ɛ4 allele. Meta-analysis showed no association between AD and the PPARg His447His T allele in the European population (OR for 7249 PPARg polymorphisms and Alzheimer’s disease ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (2): 7248-7257 (2015) T allele = 0.912, 95%CI = 0.732-1.136, P = 0.409). This meta-analysis has shown that there is a lack of association between the PPARg Pro12Ala and His447His polymorphisms and AD risk.
DISTRIBUTED OFFICE BUILDINGS' LOADS

This paper gives emulation studies on the communication traffic characteristics of the future Smart Grid's Fast Automated Demand Response (FastADR) Aggregation for widely-distributed office buildings' facility loads. A real-time realistic emulation experiment system was developed consisting of 80 devices in which actual FastADR aggregation communication software was installed. The Internet traffic conditions were emulated by burst IP packet losses and round trip time delays. Our experimental studies showed more severe variation of aggregation data transmission time than expected before. In an example case of power curtailment, i.e., negawatt of 5 MW from 50 buildings, more than 60 seconds will be needed to complete a sequential aggregation web services with each building's gateway.
Driven large contact angle droplets on chemically heterogeneous substrates

We study the depinning and subsequent motion of two-dimensional droplets with large contact angles that are driven by a body force on flat substrates decorated with a sinusoidal wettability pattern. To this end, we solve the Stokes equation employing a boundary element method. At the substrate a Navier slip condition and a spatially varying microscopic contact angle are imposed. Depending on the substrate properties, we observe a range of driving forces where resting and periodically moving droplets are found, even though inertial effects are neglected. This is possible in the considered overdamped regime because additional energy is stored in the non-equilibrium configuration of the droplet interfaces. Finally, we present the dependence of the driving at de- and repinning on wettability contrast and slip length, complemented by a bifurcation analysis of pinned-droplet configurations.
PLGA and conjugated SELF ASSEMBLED NANOSTRUCTURE OF PLGA-GLUCOSAMINE COMPOSITE NANOPARTICLES

For decades, the self assembly of complex nanostructures out of simple colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) is of practical interest for building materials with unique properties to be used as drug delivery carrier. Self-assembly is the process of interand intra-molecular bonding by means of Van der Waals forces or hydrophobic interactions which normally resulted in close-packed structures. This closepacked structures may be either colloidal crystals or particle clusters depends on the place where the process of assembly takes place such as in the bulk fluid [1] or in the liquid-liquid interface [2], respectively. Polymer based self-assembled nanostructures are one of the potential nano vehicles for delivering wide range of pharmaceutical agents. Due to their good biocompatibility and natural degradation/resorption pathways, some polymers like poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid), and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) were studied extensively as drug delivery carrier in the form of NPs[3]. Several studies on NPs based oral and parenteral formulations of PLGA were studied and due to high stability, they are found to be advantageous than liposomes [4-6]. There are reports showing the efficiency of PLGA based nanoformulation for transdermal delivery of drugs such as flufenamic acid and bioactive agents like plasmid DNA [7,8].
Human Intrusion Detection Using Wi-Fi or ZigBee RF Signals

: Wi-Fi is the wireless networking technology which allows two or more users to connect to each other or connect to the internet within a particular area. Wi-Fi thus enables a number of devices to communicate with each other using Radio Frequency signal which helps to use a lot of advanced services to be provided to the user. In the proposed system RF signals form Wi-Fi and ZigBee sensor nodes were used and the received signal strength indicators (RSSI) were used as a test to detect the presence of human beings in an indoor environment. This system can be used as an actual alarm for detection of physical intrusion in a certain area and also can be used to save energy and reduce costs on a large scale.
High compliant series elastic actuation for the robotic leg scarleth

This paper presents the actuation system of the robotic leg ScarlETH. It was developed specifically for a quadrupedal robot and is designed to achieve fast position control as well as accurate joint torque control. It introduces strong passive dynamics to create an efficient running behavior. High spring compliance with low damping in combination with a cascaded, motor velocity based, control structure was successfully tested in simulation and experiments. Final tests with the entire leg demonstrate that the system can perform a hopping motion providing only positive actuator power.
A Method to Construct Automatic Object Bounding-Box Estimation System using 3 D Cameras

The measurement of the bounding-box size of a particular object in logistic system is critical. It consumes very much effort of the agents when processing a new order. Therefore reducing the performance of the agents. This paper introduces a method for measuring size of object bounding-box using multiple 3D cameras. These cameras will be arranged around the object such that they can view the whole of object. The object then will be reconstructed in three dimensions using output data that captured by the sensors. There are some of 3D processing techniques used to do this. Finally a bounding box will be computed to illustrate the size of the object. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and the performance of the introduced method.
Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Jidéus, L. 2001. Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery. A Study of Causes and Risk Factors. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1093. 56 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-5151-9. The aim was to study pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors for developing atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and the effect of thoracic epidural anaesthesia (TEA). The study included 141 patients undergoing CABG, including 45 patients randomised for TEA intraand postoperatively. All patients underwent 24-hour Holter monitoring preand postoperatively for the analysis of arrhythmias and heart rate variability (HRV). Catecholamines and neuropeptides (reflecting sympathetic and parasympathetic activity), atrial peptides and echocardiographically assessed atrial arias were obtained preand postoperatively. Logistic regression analysis identified body mass index (BMI), maximum supraventricular beats (SPB) per minute, and total amount of cardioplegia as independent predictors of postoperative AF. Patients developing AF showed limited diurnal variation of HRV preoperatively. All HRV parameters decreased significantly in all patients postoperatively. The significant postoperative increase in atrial areas and atrial peptides did not differ between patients developing AF and those who did not. TEA had no effect on the incidence of postoperative AF, but resulted in lower heart rate, less increase in adrenaline levels, and decreased neuropeptide levels (reflecting sympathetic and parasympathetic activity). AF was initiated by an SPB in 72.4% non-TEA and 100% TEA treated patients, whereas changes in heart rate only were seen in 17.2% non-TEA patients. The observed risk factors, SPB and cardioplegia, may both induce electrophysiological changes known to increase the susceptibility to AF. The observed postoperative atrial dilatation and autonomic imbalance, indicated by HRV and neuropeptide levels, may further favour the development of AF. The observation that a majority of postoperative AF was initiated by a premature atrial contraction supports our hypothesis that latent atrial foci may be a major trigger mechanism of postoperative AF.

Title Photonic crystal microcrystalline silicon solar cells

Enhancing the absorption of thin-film microcrystalline silicon solar cells over a broadband range in order to improve the energy conversion efficiency is a very important challenge in the development of low cost and stable solar energy harvesting. Here, we demonstrate that a broadband enhancement of the absorption can be achieved by creating a large number of resonant modes associated with two-dimensional photonic crystal band edges. We utilize higher-order optical modes perpendicular to the silicon layer, as well as the band-folding effect by employing photonic crystal superlattice structures. We establish a method to incorporate photonic crystal structures into thin-film (~500 nm) microcrystalline silicon photovoltaic layers while suppressing undesired defects formed in the microcrystalline silicon. The fabricated solar cells exhibit 1.3 times increase of a short circuit current density (from 15.0mA/cm to 19.6mA/cm) by introducing the photonic crystal structure, and consequently the conversion efficiency increases from 5.6% to 6.8%. Moreover, we theoretically analyze the absorption characteristics in the fabricated cell structure, and reveal that the energy conversion efficiency can be increased beyond 9.5% in a structure less than 1/400 as thick as conventional crystalline silicon solar cells with an efficiency of 24%. © 2015 The Authors.

Forecasting of Box Office Revenue Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Current developments such as new effects and 3D shootings increase the competition in the movie industry. Pre-production analyzes are becoming more important for the expensive and risky investments in the movie industry. At this point, the prediction of the box office revenue has become an important research issue. In this context, this study aims to present an approach using machine learning algorithms for box-office revenue prediction. Artificial neural networks and support vector machines algorithms as traditional artificial intelligence methods and random trees, random forests and C4.5 algorithms as decision tree algorithms are used. Later, a hybrid model is proposed using these algorithms and the bagging algorithm from the ensemble algorithm. Prediction models are evaluated with the percentage of correct classification, kappa statistics and ROC area. Numerical results show that Random forest-bagging and artificial neural networks-bagging hybrid methods have the best performance among all models.
