Sophisticated jobs matter for economic development: an empirical analysis based on input-output matrices and economic complexity

A wide range of economic development theoreticians have discussed the manufacturing sector’s properties as an engine for economic growth. More recently, the sophisticated services sector began to share similar characteristics with the industrial sector as a driver for economic growth, particularly as a locus of technological innovation. This paper considers the symbiotic relationship between these two sectors, and assesses their importance in the technological development of countries. More precisely, this study uses economic complexity analysis and input-output matrices to assess the importance of employment creation in advanced sectors for development of countries. Results show that in the long-run, economic development depends on the effort and the ability of countries to generate employment in advanced sectors.
Allozyme variation in hatchery populations of silver and bighead carps in Bangladesh

To elucidate allozyme variation, silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead (Aristichthys nobilis) carps of three hatcheries were analyzed using seven enzymes and five of them showed clear banding pattern producing ten presumptive loci. Among the ten loci, Mdh-1* in silver carp and Mdh-2* in bighead carp populations were found to be polymorphic. The mean proportion of polymorphic loci per population (8.33±7.22%) and mean proportion of heterozygous loci per individual (2.22±1.92%) were higher in silver carp than in bighead carp populations (3.33±5.77% and 1.11±1.92%, respectively). UPGMA dendrogram showed that Maskanda and Parbatipur population made one cluster and separated from Brahmaputra in both silver and bighead carps by the D value of 0.016 and 0.05, respectively. These results indicate that the loss of genetic diversity in the existing stocks of silver and bighead carp populations might be due to use of small number of founder stock and it needs to be further restocked in Bangladesh from their original sources.

Using internet intelligence to manage biosecurity risks: a case study for aquatic animal health

AquaticHealth.net is an open‐source aquatic biosecurity intelligence gathering and analysis application. The system collects information in much the same way as other similar systems (e.g. HealthMap, BioCaster). However, the information collected undergoes minimal automated analysis, and analysis is largely left to AquaticHealth.net's users. The result is an automated system of intelligence gathering, combined with a manual system of intelligence analysis. This approach relies on a large number of users, and so AquaticHealth.net relies on an open‐intelligence analysis method: any user can publish their own analyses for all to see and analyse further. By combining automated data collection and human analysis, AquaticHealth.net will provide fast and accurate forecasts, accompanied with nuanced explanations. These methods can be applied to other areas of biosecurity and disease surveillance.
Modeling and Simulation of Heat of Mixing in Li Ion Batteries Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Song, Zhibin. M.S.M.E. , Purdue University, August 2015. Modeling and Simulation of Heat of Mixing in Li Ion Batteries. Major Professor: Likun Zhu. Heat generation is a major safety concern in the design and development of Li ion batteries (LIBs) for large scale applications, such as electric vehicles [1]. The total heat generation in LIBs includes entropic heat, enthalpy, reaction heat, and heat of mixing [2]. The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of heat of mixing on the LIBs and to understand whether it is necessary to consider the heat of mixing during the design and development of LIBs [3]. In the previous research, Thomas and Newman derived methods to compute heat of mixing in LIB cells. Their results show that the heat of mixing cannot be neglected in comparison with the other heat sources at 2 C rate [4]. In this study, the heat of mixing in different materials, porosity, particle sizes, and charging/discharging rate was investigated. A COMSOL mathematical model was built to simulate the heat generation of LIBs. The LIB model was based on Newmans model. LiMn2O4 and LiCoO2 were applied as the cathode materials, and LiC6 was applied as the anode material [5]. The results of heat of mixing were compared with the other heat sources to investigate the weight of heat of mixing in the total heat generation. The heat of mixing in cathode is smaller than the heat of mixing in anode, because of the diffusivity of LiCoO2 is 1 × 10−13 m/s, which is larger than LiC6’s diffusivity 2.52 × 10−14 m/s. In the comparison, the heat of mixing is not as much as the irreversible heat and reversible heat, but it still cannot be neglected. Finally, a special situation will be discussed, which is the heat of mixing under the relaxation status. For instance, after the drivers turn off their vehicles, the entropy,
Distribution and Systematic Accounts of Calliphoridae (Insecta: Diptera) in Sundarban Biosphere Reserve, West Bengal, India

The present work is an effort to cater the basic knowledge on the taxonomic aspects of blow-flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of Sundarban Biosphere Reserve. The results of the present study may serve as a baseline data on availability of blow fly species particularly recorded from this sort of ecosystem of mangroves and associated swamp forest of West Bengal. Present study has recorded a total of 15 calliphorid species under five genera and two subfamilies from Sundarban Biosphere Reserve and associated ecosystem. Two calliphorid species namely Lucilia bazini Seguy, 1934; Lucilia illustris (Meigen, 1826) are reported for the first time from this habitat. Besides that, first reference, material examined and distributional notes were provided. Present study will also provide furtherance of taxonomic knowledge on this dipteran family of forensic importance. Keyword: Taxonomy; Calliphoridae; New records; Sundarban Biosphere Reserve; West Bengal
The salivary microbiome, assessed by a high-throughput and culture-independent approach

The lack of cultivation of a significant fraction of bacteria found in the oral cavity means that culture-independent approaches are needed for the study of the salivary bacterial community composition and diversity. Saliva is easily obtained and could provide an alternative to blood in diagnostics, forensics, epidemiology and population studies. Our goal in this review is to put together the findings from the handful of recent studies of human salivary bacteria derived from culture-independent high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and look for emerging trends in the resulting larger dataset. Differences in phyla and genera abundances between studies of the salivary microbiome may be due to individual (genetic and lifestyle) variations, geographic variations and biases introduced during the experimental steps. Nevertheless, seven major phyla found in all relevant studies may be arbitrarily assigned into three major categories according to their abundance: (i) Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were very abundant; (ii) TM7 and Fusobacteria were moderately abundant and (iii) Spirochaetes had the lowest abundance. The frequency of genera varied among the studies but many had a relatively consistent presence. Genera found in all of the four reported salivary microbiomes were generally present at a high frequency and contributed to 71-80% of all sequences in the corresponding datasets. Conversely, genera identified in only one available salivary microbiome generally showed a low abundance. Improvements in high-throughput sequencing technology will enable random metagenome fragment sequencing to become a powerful tool to study bacterial, archaeal, fungal, phage and human viral components of the salivary microbiome in parallel.

INVESTIGATION OF PERFORMANCES OF INNOVATIVE AERONAUTIC INJECTION SYSTEMS USING ADVANCED LASER DIAGNOSTICS

Simultaneous measurements of Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) kerosene and PLIF-OH have been successfully performed in a multipoint injection system for various overall equivalence ratios, air inlet temperatures between 480 and 730 K, and pressures up to 2.2 MPa. Single-shot two-dimensional (2D) maps of the spatial distribution of kerosene vapor and OH radical in the combustor have been recorded with good signal-to-noise ratio. Results show that depending on the split between the pilot and the main injectors, the §ame front exhibits either a single or a double structure. Good spatial correlation between the repartition of kerosene vapor and the position of the §ame front was
Object-Based Building Boundary Extraction from Lidar Data

Lidar is a remote sensing technology that uses laser beams to generate high-accuracy, three-dimensional (3D) information of the Earth. As urban areas are developing and expanding rapidly, lidar applications such as 3D building modelling and city mapping are of increasing importance. Hence building boundary extraction is one of the main applications of lidar in civil engineering and urban planning projects. In this paper, three boundary extraction algorithms including an alpha-shape algorithm, a modified concave hull algorithm and a grid-based algorithm are tested to assess their object-by-object accuracy. The alpha-shape algorithm generates reliable boundaries for most of sample buildings, while the grid-based algorithm shows less consistency in some cases. The concave hull algorithm performs moderately with a few limitations. Advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm are identified and addressed in this paper.
Bimodal distribution of free tropospheric ozone over the tropical western Pacific revealed by airborne observations

A recent airborne field campaign over the remote western Pacific obtained the first intensive in situ ozone sampling over the warm pool region from oceanic surface to 15 km altitude (near 360 K potential temperature level). The new data set quantifies ozone in the tropical tropopause layer under significant influence of convective outflow. The analysis further reveals a bimodal distribution of free tropospheric ozone mixing ratio. A primary mode, narrowly distributed around 20 ppbv, dominates the troposphere from the surface to 15 km. A secondary mode, broadly distributed with a 60 ppbv modal value, is prominent between 3 and 8 km (320 K to 340 K potential temperature levels). The latter mode occurs as persistent layers of ozone‐rich drier air and is characterized by relative humidity under 45%. Possible controlling mechanisms are discussed. These findings provide new insight into the physical interpretation of the “S”‐shaped mean ozone profiles in the tropics.

Two locally isolated microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris Bejerinck and Nitzschia palea (Kützing) W. Smith) were used in the current study to test their ability to production biodiesel through stimulated in different nitrogen concentration treatments (0, 2, 4, 8 g\l ), and effect of nitrogen concentration on the quantity of primary product (carbohydrate, protein ), also the quantity and quality of lipid. The results revealed that starvation of nitrogen led to high lipid yielding, in C. vulgaris and N. palea the lipid content increased from 6.6% to 40% and 40% to 60% of dry weight (DW) respectively.Also in C. vulgaris, the highest carbohydrate was 23% of DW from zero nitrate medium and the highest protein was 50% of DW in the treatment 8g\l. While in N. palea the highest carbohydrate was 25% of DW in the treatment 4g\l, and the highest protein was 15% of DW in 8g\l treatment.
Mind the Gap: Reconciling Formalism and Intuitionism in Computational Design Research

The paper discusses the epistemological and methodological implications of an increasing process of formalisation and naturalisation of knowledge within the context of the complexity paradigm. This process is argued to induce a shift in the nature of notations and representations, to which corresponds an epistemic shift from a graphic to a computational rationality, with substantial effects on current design methodologies and strategies used in computational design. The shortcomings of a heavy formalism are discussed with respect to a possible reconciliation between the operational efficiency of formalist representations and the recovery of the phenomenological grounds of design experimentations through a simultaneous articulation of formalist and intuitionist approaches in computational design research.

Mechanical Model of Adhesive Post-Installed Anchor Subjected to Cyclic Shear Force

Recently, it has become increasingly important to instigate more widespread seismic retrofitting for seismically weak structures in Japan, which is frequently subject to massive earthquakes. Generally, post-installed anchors are used to connect the seismic retrofitting members to existing members. However, no computational models of post-installed anchors have yet been proposed in previous studies to evaluate stress-displacement relationships. Accordingly, we developed a new mechanical model for post-installed anchors. In this model, the kinking behavior of anchor bolts, bearing behavior of concrete, and tensile behavior of anchor bolts are considered. The proposed model can reasonably simulate the mechanical behaviors of the previous test results.

Audit Trail Analysis Using Harmony Search Algorithm

Security Audit trail Analysis can be accomplished by searching audit trail logs of user activities for known attacks. The problem is a combinatorial optimization problem NP-Hard. Metaheuristics offer an alternative to solve this type of problems. In this paper, we propose to use Harmony Search metaheuristic as intrusion detection engine. It is a populationbased evolutionary algorithm well suited for constrained optimization problems. Experimental results for simulated attacks are reported. The effectiveness of the method is evaluated by its ability to make correct predictions. Our new approach has proven effective and capable of producing a reliable method for intrusion detection. Keywords-metaheuristics; harmony search; evolutionary Algorithm; intrusion detection; security audit.
Image Segmentation Based on Multi-direction Gabor Filters

Aiming at the over-segmentation problem that traditional segmentation methods are prone to affect by noise, a region-based method that extracting adaptive coarse edge by using multi-direction Gabor filters is proposed. Firstly, extract the multi-direction magnitude responses by using imaginary part of Gabor filter and get the gradient magnitude at each pixel, then use the adaptive threshold method to extract coarse edge. Secondly, watershed transform on the coarse edge map to get the initial over-segmentation result. Finally, on the premise of not exceeding the region merging cost, the initial segmented regions are merged iteratively. The experimental results show that compared with Canny, region growing and LOG methods, the proposed method relieves the over-segmentation problem effectively and the average computational complexity has been reduced by about 21.5%.
Resource use within a community of Hawaiian spiders (Araneae: Tetragnathidae)

We examined the relationship between web architecture, microhabitat utilization, and prey capture for five sympatric species of spiders (Araneae: Tetragnathidae: Tetragnatha Latreille) in Waikamoi Preserve, East Maui, Hawaiian Islands. We found that each species of spider built webs that differed from its congeners in one or more architectural and microhabitat features, and that each species also differed in the types of insect prey they captured. Although the causal mechanisms remain to be tested, we suggest that species-specific differences in web building behaviors could account for the differences found in utilization of prey and microhabitat resources. Furthermore, the ability to construct webs with different architectures may be related to the extraordinary diversification of endemic web-building Hawaiian Tetragnatha.
The effect of pre- and post-pubertal feeding levels on the growth, reproduction, and future milk production of Simmental dairy heifers

The effect of preand post-puberty feeding of rations diversified in terms of energy and protein content on the growth rate, body condition, fatness, milk yield and reproduction efficiency of Simmental heifers was investigated. The experiment was carried out on 40 Simmental heifers from 6 months of age to day 100 of lactation, allotted to 5 groups according to age and body weight. During pre(from 6 to 11 months of age) and post-puberty (from 12 to 13 months of age) the animals were fed rations of different or the same levels of energy (UFL) and protein (PDI) as the control Group K, which was fed according to IZ-INRA (2001). The respective levels of UFL and PDJ in the rations for the experimental groups in both periods were, % of control Group K : Group A, 85/85 and 115/115; Group B, 85/115 and 100/100; Group C, 115/85 and 100/100; Group D, 115/115 and 115/ 115. From 14 months of age to day 100 of lactation the animals of all groups were fed the same as the control group. Heifers that received higher UFL and lower BTJ (Group C) or increased levels of energy and protein (Group D) in their pre-puberty rations than the control group, at 11-18 months of age and in the period from 6 months of age to calving, achieved higher body weight gain than the animals of the remaining groups (P<0.05). Heifers fed rations with high pre-puberty energy levels (Groups C and D) and lower protein levels (Group C) calved about 40 days earlier and had a worse conception rate and insemination index (P>0.05) than animals in other groups. Total milk production per cow in Groups A and B was about 11% higher than in Groups K and D, and about 6% higher than in Group C, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Independently 156 FEEDING LEVEL OF SIMMENTAL DAIRY HEIFERS of the protein level, feeding Simmental heifers pre-puberty period ration with a low energy level followed by high-energy ration caused somewhat slower BWG from 6 months to calving, increased the age of first mating and calving but stimulated milk production in primiparous cows.
