H-super antimagic total labeling of comb product of graphs Ika

Let L and H be two simple, nontrivial and undirected graphs. Let o be a vertex of H , the comb product between L and H , denoted by L ▷ H , is a graph obtained by taking one copy of L and |V (L)| copies of H and grafting the i th copy of H at the vertex o to the i th vertex of L . By definition of comb product of two graphs, we can say that V (L ▷ H ) = {(a, v)|a ∈ V (L), v ∈ V (H )} and (a, v)(b, w) ∈ E(L ▷ H ) whenever a = b and vw ∈ E(H ), or ab ∈ E(L) and v = w = o. Let G = L ▷ H and P2 ▷ H ⊆ G, the graph G is said to be an (a, d)-P2 ▷ H -antimagic total graph if there exists a bijective function f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {1, 2, . , |V (G)| + |E(G)|} such that for all subgraphs isomorphic to P2 ▷ H , the total P2 ▷ H -weights W (P2 ▷ H ) = ∑ v∈V (P2▷H ) f (v) + ∑ e∈E(P2▷H ) f (e) form an arithmetic sequence {a, a + d, a + 2d, . , a + (n − 1)d}, where a and d are positive integers and n is the number of all subgraphs isomorphic to P2 ▷ H . An (a, d)-P2 ▷ H -antimagic total labeling f is called super if the smallest labels appear in the vertices. In this paper, we study a super (a, d)-P2 ▷ H -antimagic total labeling of G = L ▷ H when L = Cn . c ⃝ 2018 Kalasalingam University. Publishing Services by Elsevier B.V.

The Impact of Information and System Quality on Emergency Notification Systems Adoption Emergent Research Forum Paper

Campus Emergency Notification Systems (ENS) are deployed to inform and direct students when extreme events occur. Numerous schools have deployed emergency notification systems; however, student adoption of the artifact is very low. In this study, we investigate factors that drive students’ adoption building on the DeLone and McLean model of information systems (IS) success. We contribute to the emergency management and IS success theory by adding new contextually relevant constructs associated with information and system quality. Utilizing a survey we collected data from 867 participants and analyzed data using generalized structural equation modeling (GSEM). Results indicate that information timeliness and system credibility positively impact student’s adoption of emergency management systems. Our research aims to improve the adoption rate of ENS and thus save lives.
Brand Equity of Team Sports Towards Sponsorship in Indonesian Football Club

This is a study concerning the result of sports sponsorship where the research focuses on how would a specific construct of Brand Equity would correlate with the sponsorship outcome. The study takes one of the forerunners of professional football (soccer) club as the object. Persib (Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Bandung), a football club which resides in Bandung. Persib has proven to be one of the most prominent football clubs in terms of business, fans, and professionalism. Each home game are watched by a minimum number of 40,000 spectators, and the company itself, PT. PBB (Persib Bandung Bermartabat, Inc.) has managed to generate a yearly income of approx. 12 Billion Rupiahs, income which is considered as the largest from a professional football club in Indonesia. The study is aimed to discover how the construct of BETS (Brand Equity of Team Sports) would influence the Sponsorship Outcome. Questionnaires were distributed to 403 fans of Persib Bandung, whom are ssociated with Viking community. The study modifies the concept of Bauer, et al. (2005) that applies the concept of Consumer Based Brand Equity from Keller (1993), and also the concept of Sponsorship Outcome (SO) from Gwinner and Swanson (2003). BETS is divided into four dimension; Awareness, Product-Related Attributes, Non Product-Related Attributes, and Brand Benefits. For the football context, each dimension is measured according to the characteristics of a football club. Product-related attributes consists of Athletic success, star player(s), coach, and management. Sponsorship Outcome is measured by; Sponsor recognition, attitude toward sponsor, sponsor patronage, and satisfaction with sponsor. The research would focus on observing SO on the context of general sponsorship of Persib, Honda, and PT. Daya Adira Mustika. The concepts are modified by researcher to fit research context.

HOLESTEROL CONTENT OF BULL SPERMATOZOA ALTERS SURVIVAL AT ULTRA-LOW TEMPERATURES

Though cryopreservation bestows many advantages, it decreases tolerance to stress of temperature variations, reducing survival of spermatozoa to a great extent. A gradual reduction in cholesterol content of spermatozoa during cryopreservation was reported. Thus the objective of this investigation was to evaluate relationship of cholesterol content of spermatozoa with surviving ability, biochemical integrity of membrane and in vitro fertility (IVF) of spermatozoa following cryopreservation. From each ejaculate (n=12) aliquot was taken for evaluation of semen quality parameters and thereafter it was processed for cryopreservation. Cholesterol content, viability, motility and biochemical integrity of membrane (Hypo osmotic swelling, HOS response) of spermatozoa at fresh, pre-freeze and frozen-thaw stages and IVF parameters at frozen-thaw stage were evaluated. Values were fitted in prediction equation to predict cryosurvivability and biochemical integrity of spermatozoa membrane. Study indicated that cholesterol content of fresh spermatozoa can be used to predict viability at pre-freeze and frozen-thaw stages of cryopreservation protocol with medium level of accuracy (p<0.05). Cholesterol content of fresh, pre-freeze and frozen-thaw spermatozoa can be used to predict HOS response with medium level of accuracy (p<0.05) at respective and forthcoming stages. However cholesterol content of spermatozoa was not found to be significant predictor of individual motility and in vitro fertility (penetration percent and penetration index). This study revealed evidence that cholesterol content of fresh, pre-freeze as well as frozen-thaw bull spermatozoa can be a good predictor of viability and biochemical integrity of spermatozoa membrane following preservation at ultra-low temperature.
ISCP: An Improved Blockchain Consensus Protocol

SCP is a recent eﬀort that focuses on improving the scalability of blockchains by combining PoW and BFT. However, there exist security problems and performance limitation in SCP. In this paper, an improved blockchain consensus protocol ISCP with higher security and better eﬃciency is presented. We adopt a decentralized multi-partition consensus model to address the security problem in SCP while keeping the computational-scalable feature of the protocol. We also propose a novel intra-committee consensus algorithm which is more eﬃcient than BFT in intra-committee consensus. We analyze and prove that ISCP has higher security and better eﬃciency than SCP. Experimental results show that the novel intra-committee consensus protocol can signiﬁcantly reduce consensus delay and greatly increase throughput of the network.
Cytological and Proteomic Analysis of Wheat Pollen Abortion Induced by Chemical Hybridization Agent

In plants, pollen grain transfers the haploid male genetic material from anther to stigma, both between flowers (cross-pollination) and within the same flower (self-pollination). In order to better understand chemical hybridizing agent (CHA) SQ-1-induced pollen abortion in wheat, comparative cytological and proteomic analyses were conducted. Results indicated that pollen grains underwent serious structural injury, including cell division abnormality, nutritional deficiencies, pollen wall defect and pollen grain malformations in the CHA-SQ-1-treated plants, resulting in pollen abortion and male sterility. A total of 61 proteins showed statistically significant differences in abundance, among which 18 proteins were highly abundant and 43 proteins were less abundant in CHA-SQ-1 treated plants. 60 proteins were successfully identified using MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. These proteins were found to be involved in pollen maturation and showed a change in the abundance of a battery of proteins involved in multiple biological processes, including pollen development, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, stress response, protein metabolism. Interactions between these proteins were predicted using bioinformatics analysis. Gene ontology and pathway analyses revealed that the majority of the identified proteins were involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism. Accordingly, a protein-protein interaction network involving in pollen abortion was proposed. These results provide information for the molecular events underlying CHA-SQ-1-induced pollen abortion and may serve as an additional guide for practical hybrid breeding.
Power Management Strategies of Electric Vehicle Charging Station Based Grid Tied PV-Battery System

This paper proposes power management strategies for a grid tied PV storage system in electric vehicle charging station (EVCS). The strategy is designed to be implemented in the power control system of the CS. The control proceeds depending on the integration of renewable energy sources by adopting an optimization algorithm, in order to minimize stress on existing power and to reduce the cost of consumed energy based on the electrical grid in standalone mode. This work explains in detail the approach via simulation results of a 15kW PV-Grid system connected with 40kWh lithium-ion battery and a load flow of five EVs. However, a power predictive model is described in this research, it is based on a real time monitoring of power demand and supply, where a reliable data communication between the CS and the plugged EV is achieved. Additionally, various parameters are involved in the approach to set the optimal operation mode of a charging process for instance, the instantaneous power of the PV array, the available energy in the battery storage buffer and the limited power the grid can offer. MPPT algorithm with the voltage source converters (VSC) and also the current control loop are all pillars to build the adopted power forecasting model. To test the validation of this model, simulation results of several charging scenarios express the effectiveness of the proposed CS effectively.
miR-145 improves metabolic inflammatory disease through multiple pathways

Abstract Chronic inflammation plays a pivotal role in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, yet the mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we demonstrated that serum LPS levels were significantly higher in newly diagnosed diabetic patients than in normal control. miR-145 level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells decreased in type 2 diabetics. LPS repressed the transcription of miR-143/145 cluster and decreased miR-145 levels. Attenuation of miR-145 activity by anti-miR-145 triggered liver inflammation and increased serum chemokines in C57BL/6 J mice. Conversely, lentivirus-mediated miR-145 overexpression inhibited macrophage infiltration, reduced body weight, and improved glucose metabolism in db/db mice. And miR-145 overexpression markedly reduced plaque size in the aorta in ApoE−/− mice. Both OPG and KLF5 were targets of miR-145. miR-145 repressed cell proliferation and induced apoptosis partially by targeting OPG and KLF5. miR-145 also suppressed NF-κB activation by targeting OPG and KLF5. Our findings provide an association of the environment with the progress of metabolic disorders. Increasing miR-145 may be a new potential therapeutic strategy in preventing and treating metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis.
Multi-objective crashworthiness optimization of vehicle body using particle swarm algorithm coupled with bacterial foraging algorithm

Crashworthiness and lightweight design are two main challenges in the early body in white (BIW) design stage. An implicit parametric model of BIW was built by using SFE-CONCEPT to allow for larger geometrical modifications and more flexible design space. A physical test was then conducted to verify the validity of the implicit parametric model. A hybrid method coupling the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) algorithm has been proposed to improve the crashworthiness and lightweight design. This method aims to obtain the Pareto sets to guide designers in selecting the optimal solution according to different demand. Meanwhile, a comparison between the proposed hybrid method and other widely used intelligent methods (PSO, BFO, and PSO–GA) was performed to illustrate the advantages of the hybrid method in solving complex, nonlinear, and multi-objective optimization problems. The results indicate that the proposed hybrid method has significant potential to optimize the crashworthiness and to guide lightweight design of BIW.

Background. African men with infertility appear to be concerned about the blame for male infertility falling on their wives. Objective. To explore the concerns of men with infertility about the blame for male infertility falling on their wives. Methods. Participants were recruited through their wives, who were receiving treatment for infertility from the obstetrics and gynaecology unit of a public hospital in Ghana. The men had been identified as having male factor infertility. A semi-structured interview guide was designed and used to conduct in-depth interviews. Each participant was interviewed twice. The first interview lasted ~20 30 minutes. The second was by telephone, for validation of the findings, and lasted ~10 minutes per participant. Each interview was transcribed verbatim for conventional content analysis. Results. The findings revealed that the men described three main concerns: traditional influences, emotional disturbances and pressure on wives. Conclusion. The men’s narrations of their experiences indicated that they were very concerned about the blame for male infertility falling on their wives. There is a need for health education on male infertility in Ghana.
The experience of inflammatory bowel disease patients with healthcare

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text Abstract To assess inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients’ experience of chronic illness care and the relationship with demographic and healthcare-related characteristics. This cross-sectional survey used the Instrument to Evaluate the EXperience of PAtients with Chronic diseases (IEXPAC) questionnaire to identify parameters associated with a better healthcare experience for IBD patients. IEXPAC questionnaire responses are grouped into 3 factors - productive interactions, new relational model, and patient self-management, scoring from 0 (worst) to 10 (best experience). Scores were analyzed by bivariate comparisons and multiple linear regression models. Surveys were returned by 341 of 575 patients (59.3%, mean age 46.8 (12.9) years, 48.2% women). Mean (SD) IEXPAC score was 5.9 (2.0); scores were higher for the productive interactions (7.7) and patient self-management factors (6.7) and much lower for the new relational model factor (2.2). Follow-up by a nurse, being seen by the same physician, and being treated with a lower number of medicines were associated with higher (better) overall patient experience score, and higher productive interactions and self-management factor scores. A higher productive interactions score was also associated with patients receiving medication subcutaneously or intravenously. Higher new relational model scores were associated with follow-up by a nurse, affiliation to a patients’ association, receiving help from others for healthcare, a lower number of medicines and a higher educational level. In patients with IBD, a better overall patient experience was associated with follow-up by a nurse, being seen by the same physician, and being treated with a lower number of medicines.
Leisure and housing consumption after retirement : New evidence on the life-cycle hypothesis

We revisit the alleged retirement consumption puzzle. According to the life-cycle theory, foreseeable income reductions such as those around retirement should not affect consumption. However, we first recall that given higher leisure endowments after retirement, the theory does predict a fall of total market consumption expenditures. In order not to mistake this predicted drop for a puzzle we focus on housing consumption which can be plausibly regarded as complementary to leisure, and we control for the leisure change in our empirical specifications, using micro data for Germany (SOEP), where housing expenditures are observable as rents for the majority (60%), as well as dwelling relocations. We still find significant negative impacts of the retirement status on housing consumption, which is hard to reconcile with the life-cycle theory. For retirees we also find significant effects of the income reduction at retirement on housing. However, the effects are small in quantitative terms, given the lock-in nature of past housing decisions.
Histological Study of the Effect of Semicarbazide on Testicular Seminiferous Tubules of Juvenile Albino Rat

Semicarbazide (SEM) is a by-product of azodicarbonamide used to improve the properties of the plastic seals of the glass jar lids of the canned food such as baby food. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of semicarbazide (SEM) on the morphology of testicular seminiferous tubules of juvenile albino rat. Twenty juvenile male albino rats aged 4 weeks were divided into two main groups: group I (control), group II (treated with SEM 40 mg/kg oral daily for 4 weeks). Specimens from the testes were processed for different histological examinations, histochemical staining with Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) and immunohistochemical study using antibodies against Bcl-2 was carried out in addition to morphometrical and statistical analysis. SEM-treated group showed some vacuolated spermatogenic and Sertoli cells, discontinuity of germinal epithelium, some exfoliated spermatogenic cells in the lumen in addition to focal loss of the basement membrane. A statistically significant decrease in both mean epithelial height and area percentage was recorded in group II. A statistically significant decrease of PAS reaction of the basement membrane was observed. A statistically significant decrease in Bcl-2 positive cytoplasmic immunoreaction in cells of seminiferous tubules was detected. Electron microscopic examination revealed swollen mitochondria, dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum, vacuolated cytoplasm and areas of cytoplasmic loss in spermatogenicand Sertoli cells. The nuclei of some primary spermatocytes and spermatids appeared dark and shrunken or fragmented. Thickened basement membrane with collagen deposition was detected. It could be concluded that SEM causes significant structural changes in juvenile seminiferous tubules of rat testis.So, it is recommended to use alternative safe substance in the sealing process of glass jar lids.
British Romanticism in China : Revised in Reception

This paper first looks at the etymology and definition of the term ‘Romanticism’ in English and Chinese respectively to show their considerable disparity, and then traces the Chinese reception of British Romantic literature in the course of the twentieth century, focusing in particular on its late-Qing introduction, New Culturist proliferation, suppression in Communist China, and post-1976 resurrection. This trajectory of the afterlife of Romanticism reveals at the same time the transformation the concept of ‘Romanticism’ went through in twentieth-century China. The paper thus shows that as both a concept and a body of literature, Romanticism had been received with drastically divergent or even contradictory responses in China while conflicting ideologies took turns dominating the Chinese cultural discourse. This reception process demonstrates the predominance of the national ideology over the aesthetic values of foreign literature, which reveals the essentially utilitarian approach China had taken to foreign literature, and British Romanticism in particular.
Expanded 3D nanofibre sponge scaffolds by gas-foaming technique enhance peripheral nerve regeneration

Abstract Peripheral nerve injury has troubled clinical doctors for many years. To obtain better function recovery of peripheral nerve repair at the base of hollow nerve guidance conduit (NGC), many NGCs with fillers were developed in the application of tissue-engineered nerve graft. In this study, expanded 3D nanofibre sponge scaffolds with orientation and porosity were first fabricated by electrospinning and gas-foaming technique. Polylactic acid (PLA)/silk fibroin nanofibre sponge scaffolds were prepared as filler to construct 3D nanofibre sponges containing NGC (SNGC). SNGC could promote the proliferation of Schwann cells compared with the hollow NGC in vitro. The results of animal experiments confirm that SNGC can significantly promote peripheral nerve function recovery from histology and function evaluation. In conclusion, we design a new method to construct a 3D scaffold containing NGC with orientation and porosity. The application of this 3D scaffold material has good prospects in future peripheral nerve repair.

SiliconPV : March 25-27 , 2013 , Hamelin , Germany Failure stress of epitaxial silicon thin films

Ultra-thin silicon wafer have to withstand forces and stresses during handling procedures without breakage. Here we investigate the failure stresses of ~30 μm thick monocrystalline silicon films produced with the porous silicon process by use of a three line bending setup. We use a finite element simulation in order to evaluate the experiments and conclude that the porous silicon layers break at stresses comparable to those of silicon wafers with standard thickness. The edge preparation has a large impact on the failure stress. For samples with manually cleaved edges the failure stress surpasses 600 MPa, which is the largest stress that is accessible with our testing setup.
