The Parallel Simulation Method for d-dimensionalAbelian Sandpile Automata

In this paper, the star-packing problem introduced in [1] for a square lattice is generalized for d-dimensional lattice Ld, d 2 N. The problem is to pack the lattice Ld with star graphs S2d. Using the solution of this problem, a parallel algorithm for the simulation of d-dimensional cellular automata is developed. As an example of cellular automata, the relaxation process of unstable states of Abelian sandpile model is considered. Appropriate software packages have been developed using OpenMP and CUDA technologies. The parallel simulation results, carried out for 3-dimensional lattices of different sizes, are presented.
Developing a Scope and Sequence for Thinking Skills Instruction.

Selecting the Content of a Thinking Skills Curriculum A well-structured thinking skills scope and sequence identifies the skills and strategies to be learned throughout a curriculum; arranges them in the or der in which they are to be intro duced, practiced, generalized, and elaborated; and keys them to the vari ous subjects in which they are to be taught Such a scope and sequence provides a framework that is not over whelmed by academic subject matter. To build such a framework, first iden tify the thinking operations that will constitute your curriculum. Figure 1 presents some operations that could make up such a curriculum. I selected these skills because they are repeat edly used in most academic subjects, are commonly used outside school, and are often identified by experts as significant thinking operations. These three criteria should prove useful in selecting the cognitive operations for including in any districtwide thinking skills curriculum.

An operations management perspective on adopting customer-relations management (CRM) software

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are made up of software that chiefly support individual functional areas (e.g., operations management practices and policies), but seeks to share information to support organisation-wide integration goals. In this paper we examine the influences of operations management (OM) customer focus policies and practices, as well as software vendor capabilities in supporting OM, on ERP reasons for adoption of software and vendor selection of customer relations management (CRM) systems. An empirical study utilising structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to determine if an OM customer focus affects the adoption of CRM. The results show that collaboration between OM and marketing managers in the acquisition of CRM software improves business performance and supports the prior research that advocates the need for closer integration of these two functional areas. The results also show that OM reasons for adoption of CRM can have a moderating effect on business performance as well.

IDENTIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF REFERENCE GENES FOR THE NORMALIZATION IN REAL-TIME RT-QPCR ON RICE AND RED RICE IN COMPETITION, UNDER DIFFERENT NITROGEN DOSES

Real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is an important technique to analyze differences in gene expression due to its sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity. However, before analyzing the expression of the target gene, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the stability of candidate reference genes for the proper normalization. This study aimed at evaluating the stability of candidate reference genes in order to identify the most appropriate genes for the normalization of the transcription in rice and red rice in competition under different nitrogen levels, as well as to demonstrate the effectiveness of the reference gene selected for the expression of the cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (OsAPX2). Eleven candidate reference genes were assessed using the RefFinder which integrates the four leading software: geNorm, NormFinder, Bestkeeper, and the comparative delta-Ct method in addition to the analysis of variance to identify genes with lower standard deviation and coefficient of variation values. Eight out of the eleven genes have shown the desired effectiveness and, among them, the gene UBC-E2 has the highest stability according to RefFinder and the analysis of variance. The expression of the gene OsAPX2 has proven to be effective in validating the candidate reference gene. This study is the first survey on the stability of candidate reference genes in rice and red rice in competition, providing information to obtain more accurate results in RT-qPCR.

Which firms benefit more from being located in a Science and Technology Park? Empirical evidence for Spain

The aim of this work is to analyse the heterogeneous effect of Science and Technology Parks (STPs) on firms’ innovation outcomes, contingent on firms’ size and innovation effort. Despite the worldwide diffusion of STPs and the increasing literature aimed at analysing their effect on tenants’ performance, empirical evidence on the heterogeneous effect of STPs' location on different firms is very scarce. We use information for a representative sample of 39,722 Spanish firms, 653 of them located on 22 of the 25 official Spanish STP. Results show, on the one hand, that firm size is negatively related to an STP location effect and, on the other, that only a small amount of internal innovation effort is required to achieve a very high return from park location. However, firms without innovation efforts do not benefit from a park location. Finally, as internal innovation efforts increase, the park effect reduces, but is still at a high level.
Jue Wang Revealed by EEG Synchrony Small-World Brain Functional Networks in Children With Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

We investigated the topologic properties of human brain attention-related functional networks associated with Multi-Source Interference Task (MSIT) performance using electroencephalography (EEG). Data were obtained from 13 children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 13 normal control children. Functional connectivity between all pairwise combinations of EEG channels was established by calculating synchronization likelihood (SL). The cluster coefficients and path lengths were computed as a function of degree K. The results showed that brain attention functional networks of normal control subjects had efficient small-world topologic properties, whereas these topologic properties were altered in ADHD. In particular, increased local characteristics combined with decreased global characteristics in ADHD led to a disorder-related shift of the network topologic structure toward ordered networks. These findings are consistent with a hypothesis of dysfunctional segregation and integration of the brain in ADHD, and enhance our understanding of the underlying pathophysiologic mechanism of this illness.
Gamma-rays Induced Morphological Changes in Chrysanthemum. (Chrysanthemum morifolium)

The purple color clone of spray type chrysanthemum available as pot plant in the market was used to study the effect of gamma radiation on in vitro culture of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium ). Ray-florets were cultured on the MS medium containing 10 mg/l BA. Multiple shoots produced were irradiated with gamma rays at 0, 10, 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110 Gy. Subculturing was carried out three times from M 1 V 1 to M 1 V 4 after which M 1 V 4 shoots were rooted and transplanted to the greenhouse. M 1 V 4 shoots irradiated at 50 Gy and over died within 25-30 days. LD 50 for this purple clone of chrysanthemum was 14 Gy. Only the controls and treated plants at 10 Gy were able to survive and gave rise to the full grown plants. After transplanting into the greenhouse for 60 days, control plants and treated ones were found to be different in four traits which were average height, average number of leaves, average number of nodes and % flowering. Plants were trimmed twice at three month intervals and allowed to produce flowers. Changes in flower characters were found in both controls and treated plants. However, the treated plants had much more variation than the controls and new flower color (yellow tinge) was only obtained from the
EMOTION BASED ANALYSIS OF TURKISH CUSTOMER OPINIONS

Firms should manage their customer feedback so they can adapt to rapid changes in the environment. They have to interact with their customers to understand them and to turn their opinions into useful knowledge. Understanding customers' feelings about a product gives firmS competitive advantage through continuous market monitoring. They can thus generate improving strategies about the system to change perceptions that drive the behaviours of the customers. Firms can view their customers' happiness as a key tool for decision-making. This study calculates online product happiness by using the average emotional valence values of customer opinions. We analyse Turkish opinions about a product over a period of 3 months. We find the averages of the online emotional valence values of the product per month. We also determined the increase in happiness over time. According to the opinion valence values, we found the relations between the documents.
Long-term memory traces for familiar spoken words in tonal languages as revealed by the Mismatch Negativity

Sittiprapaporn, W. , Chindaduangratn, C. and Kotchabhakdi, N. Long-term memory traces for familiar spoken words in tonal languages as revealed by the Mismatch negativity Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol. , 2004, 26(6) : 779-786 Mismatch negativity (MMN), a primary response to an acoustic change and an index of sensory memory, was used to investigate the processing of the discrimination between familiar and unfamiliar Consonant-Vowel (CV) speech contrasts. The MMN was elicited by rare familiar words presented among repetitive unfamiliar words. Phonetic and phonological contrasts were identical in all conditions. MMN elicited by the familiar word deviant was larger than that elicited by the unfamiliar word deviant. The presence of syllable contrast did significantly alter the word-elicited MMN in amplitude and scalp voltage field distribution. Thus, our results indicate the existence of word-related MMN enhancement largely independent of the word status of the standard stimulus. This enhancement may reflect the presence of a longterm memory trace for familiar spoken words in tonal languages.
Design and Implementation of A PV Powered Five Level Inverter Using Multilevel Differential Boost Converter

The conventional power conditioning units require a DC-DC converter followed by an inverter circuit to deliver the required power to the load. This increases the required power conversion stages, system cost, size and reduces the overall system efficiency. This paper presents a boost converter topology that provides DC-AC conversion along with voltage boosting in a single stage. The multi level differential boost converter topology consists of two boost converters connected back to back with a voltage boosting function. Multi level differential boost converter topology requires less power conversion stages and reduces the size of power conditioning units. This converter topology can be employed in uninterruptible power supplies and AC drives. With the differential boost converter topology, a ripple free pure sinusoidal wave can be obtained. The differential boost converter topology provides a multi level output along with voltage boosting by employing a single DC voltage source. The design and analysis of multi level differential boost converter have been done.
1 Hash-Based Protocols User Authentication Protocol : Step 1 . Client → Server :

In 2005, Peyravian-Jeffries proposed secure password-based protocols for remote user authentication, password change, and session key establishment over insecure networks. These protocols, however, are still susceptible to a stolen-verifier attack. Accordingly, the current paper demonstrates the vulnerability of their protocols to a stolen-verifier attack and then, a simple solution to resolve such a problem is presented. In contrast to these protocols, the proposed solution can resist the stolenverifier attack.
The efficacy of high performance work practices in the Middle East: evidence from Algerian firms

Although there is developing evidence on the effectiveness of global HRM best practices in emerging and developing economies, little is known about the efficacy of those practices in the Middle East. This study examines the impact of high performance work practices (HPWP) on both employee and organisational outcomes in Algerian firms. The results of a firm-level survey show that while HPWP are positively associated with employee work attitudes and motivations, this effect is not converted into organisational-level outcomes. The results are discussed and implications for future research are offered.
PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF OATS (AVENA SATIVA)

Phytochemicals are bioactive plant compounds that have protective or disease preventive properties. They are found in fruits, vegetables, beans, grains and other plants. They have biological properties such as antioxidant activity, modulation of detoxification enzymes, stimulation of immune system, modulation of hormone metabolism and anticancer property. The present study aims at exploiting the presence of various phytochemicals present in fermented oats (Avena sativa) and nonfermented oats (Avena sativa). The results clearly revealed the presence of phytochemicals such as tannin, alkaloid, quinones, phenols and anthraquinones in fermented oats and tannin, alkaloid and quinones in non-fermented oats. The total phenol content of fermented oats was found to be 67.2 mg catechol equivalent /g.

Designing of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for diagnosis copro-antigens of Giardia lamblia

The sensitivity of microscopic examination of fecal samples to recognize Giardia parasites is low. In the methods based on antigen scanning of parasites such as enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), copro-antigens of parasite will be traced and diagnosed even if the live parasite is absent in the fecal samples. To design this method, a pure antibody against parasite as well as an antibody conjugated to a proper enzyme is needed. In this study, an anti-Giardia IgG extracted from serum of contaminated rabbit was purified by ion-exchange chromatography and conjugated to the enzyme horse radish peroxidase (HRP). This antibody was used to design direct and indirect ELISA kits to measure conjugation titer. In both direct and indirect ELISA methods, optical densities (ODs) were 1 by using dilution of 1/4000 of conjugation. According to the results of both tests and the success in produced conjugate, it could be proceeded to prepare ELISA kits to diagnose giardiasis infections in various samples.
The Performance Analysis of Full-Duplex System

Keywords: Full-duplex , OFDM, MIMO, WiFi, Nyquist Frequency. Abstract. This paper presented a design using full-duplex wireless signal inversion adaptive cancellation. Signal inversion using a transmitter based on balanced / unbalanced design was simple (Balun). The new design, different from the previous work in support of broadband and high-power systems. In theory, this new design was not limited in bandwidth and power. In practice, we found that the signal inversion can be canceled at least 36dB at 45MHz bandwidth. Further, the signal in the digital domain inversion cancellation of a combination of OFDM signal was 15MHz seventy-three db reduce self-interference.
Pulsar scattering in space and time

We report on a recent global VLBI experiment in which we study the scatter broadening of pulsars in the spatial and time domain simultaneously. Depending on the distribution of scattering screen(s), geometry predicts that the less spatially broadened parts of the signal arrive earlier than the more broadened parts. This means that over one pulse period the size of the scattering disk should grow from pointlike to the maximum size. An equivalent description is that the pulse profile shows less temporal broadening on the longer baselines. This contribution presents first results that are consistent with the expected expanding rings. We also briefly discuss how the autocorrelations can be used for amplitude calibration. This requires a thorough investigation of the digitisation and the sampler statistics and is not fully solved yet.
Five novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the prophet of PIT1 ( PROP1 ) gene in bovine (Brief report)

Abstract. The prophet of Pit1 ( PROP1 ) gene encodes a paired class homeodomain transcription factor of 226 amino acids and is organized of 3 exons. PROP1 is necessary for the specification, differentiation and proliferation of cells. Its function is essential for anterior pituitary organogenesis, and heritable mutations in this gene are associated with combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) in human patients and animals (SAVAGE et al., 2003; CARVALHO et al., 2006). To date, no polymorphisms of the bovine PROP1 gene were described. In the present experiment, the 5' flanking region, the coding region and partial introns of bovine PROP1 were scanned for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in five cattle breeds of China.
Bank capitalization and bank performance: a comparative analysis using accounting- and market-based measures

This paper examines performance outcomes of capitalization in the European bank market. Using a Europe-an sample with 2,504 firm-year observations for the years 1992–2012, the authors analyze the effect of capitalization as used by the financial reg- ulators on bank risk and bank profitability with alternative accounting- and market-based measures. All accounting-based measures consistently show that higher capital- ization reduces bank risk and is associated with increased profitability. Contrary to this, market-based risk measures show higher bank risk implying possibly different risk assessment by capital market participants. Our results are corroborated by an ex post analysis of bank performance in times of crisis. Higher capitalized banks have fared better after the crisis in respect of profitability and risk. that banks compensate the associated costs of stricter capital requirements by increased risk-taking. Empirical studies find that capital regulation in
Recovery of herbicide-resistant Azuki bean [ Vigna angularis (Wild.), Ohwi & Ohashi] plants via Agrobacterium -mediated transformation

Transgenic azuki bean [ Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi] plants expressing the hygromycin phosphotransferase ( hpt ), green fluorescent protein ( sgfp ) and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase ( bar ) genes were obtained by Agrobacterium- tumefacients - mediated transformation. A total of 210 epicotyl explants were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105, harboring the binary plasmid pZHBG on MS co-cultivation medium supplemented with 100 mM acetosyringone and 10 mg/l of BA. Following selection on MS medium with 15 mg/l of hygromycin, the regenerated adventitious shoots that formed on the induced calli were further screened for sgfp expression before transferred to rooting medium. 31 transgenic plants were obtained with transformation frequency of 14%. The presence of transgenes in transformed azuki bean plants was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and southern blot analysis. Transcription of the bar and hpt genes was assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. sgfp- positive transgenic plants exhibited functional expression of the bar gene as determined by assaying for resistance to bialaphos applied directly to leaves. This result demonstrates the feasibility of introducing potentially useful agronomic traits into azuki bean through genetic engineering.
