Characteristics of injuries of young adult male basketball players

Introduction: Basketball is characterized by high intensity play and a lot of physical contact. Players are required to be well-trained physically in order to be able to face the dynamics, speed and variability of the game and the training loads to which they are exposed. Basketball is a sport that predisposes the athletes to musculoskeletal injuries. The aim of this study was to characterize the injuries experienced by young adult male basketball players. Material and methods: Young adult male Polish basketball players from various clubs (17±1.4 years; n = 28; 47%) and amateur basketball players (17±1.4 years; n =30; 53%) took part in this study. To assess the injuries of young basketball players, a survey consisting of 28 questions was used. Results: The most common injuries were lower limb injuries (54%), of which ankle injuries prevailed (ankle injuries were the most common injuries of all). Upper limb injuries accounted for 36% of all injuries. Of these, subluxations in finger joints occurred most often. Most often, injuries occurred during physical contact with another player (40%). Despite an injury, the players either did not alter the length of their warm-up or they devoted more time to it. In terms of stretching before a training session or a match, differences between players training up to three times a week and players training four or more times per week were statistically significant (χ2 = 8.926, p = 0.012, V = 0.392). Conclusions: Basketball is a sport that causes injuries.

Automatic Scalable Atomicity via Semantic Locking

In this article, we consider concurrent programs in which the shared state consists of instances of linearizable abstract data types (ADTs). We present an automated approach to concurrency control that addresses a common need: the need to atomically execute a code fragment, which may contain multiple ADT operations on multiple ADT instances. We present a synthesis algorithm that automatically enforces atomicity of given code fragments (in a client program) by inserting pessimistic synchronization that guarantees atomicity and deadlock-freedom (without using any rollback mechanism). Our algorithm takes a commutativity specification as an extra input. This specification indicates for every pair of ADT operations the conditions under which the operations commute. Our algorithm enables greater parallelism by permitting commuting operations to execute concurrently. We have implemented the synthesis algorithm in a Java compiler and applied it to several Java programs. Our results show that our approach produces efficient and scalable synchronization.
EEG Based Eye State Classification using Deep Belief Network and Stacked AutoEncoder

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) provides an alternative communication interface between the human brain and a computer. The Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are acquired, processed and machine learning algorithms are further applied to extract useful information. During EEG acquisition, artifacts are induced due to involuntary eye movements or eye blink, casting adverse effects on system performance. The aim of this research is to predict eye states from EEG signals using Deep learning architectures and present improved classifier models. Recent studies reflect that Deep Neural Networks are trending state of the art Machine learning approaches. Therefore, the current work presents the implementation of Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Stacked AutoEncoders (SAE) as Classifiers with encouraging performance accuracy. One of the designed SAE models outperforms the performance of DBN and the models presented in existing research by an impressive error rate of 1.1% on the test set bearing accuracy of 98.9%. The findings in this study, may provide a contribution towards the state of the art performance on the problem of EEG based eye state classification.
BRCA1 gene mutation in familial breast cancer

This study was conducted to estimate the frequency of BRCA1 (185delAG) mutation in Egyptian female patients with breast cancer. Forty selected female patients with breast cancer, 80 of their female relatives and 10 healthy females as a control group were included in this study. The age of onset of breast cancer was below 40 years in 25 (62.5%) patients and above 40 years in 15 (37.5%) patients. There were significant differences among the patients regarding the age at menarche before 13 years (p=0.011), onset of breast cancer (p<0.001), parity (p<0.001), first delivery before 30 years of age (p=0.04), breast feeding (p=0.002), and positive family history (p<0.001). The frequency of BRCA1 (185delAG) mutation was 10% in the patients. Eight percent of patients with early onset below 40 years and 13.5% of patients with onset after 40 years were heterozygotes for the mutation. Three percent of patients with unilateral breast cancer, 40% of patients with bilateral breast cancer and 50% of patients with breastovarian cancer were carrying the mutation. Our results indicated that breast-ovarian cancer and bilateral breast cancer patients were likely to have BRCA1 (185delAG) mutation than in unilateral breast cancer. [Turk J Cancer
The Data Complexity of Consistent Query Answering for Self-join-free Conjunctive Queries under Primary Key Constraints

A relational database is said to be uncertain if primary key constraints can possibly be violated. A repair (or possible world) of an uncertain database is obtained by selecting a maximal number of tuples without ever selecting two distinct tuples with the same primary key value. For any Boolean query q, CERTAINTY(q) is the problem that takes an uncertain database db as input, and asks whether q is true in every repair of db. The complexity of this problem has been particularly studied for q ranging over the class of self-join-free Boolean conjunctive queries. A research challenge is to determine, given q, whether CERTAINTY(q) belongs to complexity classes FO, P, or coNP-complete. In this paper, we combine existing techniques for studying the above complexity classification task. We show that for any self-join-free Boolean conjunc-tive query q, it can be decided whether or not CERTAINTY(q) is in FO. Further, for any self-join-free Boolean conjunctive query q, CERTAINTY(q) is either in P or coNP-complete, and the complexity dichotomy is effective. This settles a research question that has been open for ten years.
Lease/Release

High memory contention is generally agreed to be a worst-case scenario for concurrent data structures. There has been a significant amount of research effort spent investigating designs that minimize contention, and several programming techniques have been proposed to mitigate its effects. However, there are currently few architectural mechanisms to allow scaling contended data structures at high thread counts. In this article, we investigate hardware support for scalable contended data structures. We propose Lease/Release, a simple addition to standard directory-based MESI cache coherence protocols, allowing participants to lease memory, at the granularity of cache lines, by delaying coherence messages for a short, bounded period of time. Our analysis shows that Lease/Release can significantly reduce the overheads of contention for both non-blocking (lock-free) and lock-based data structure implementations while ensuring that no deadlocks are introduced. We validate Lease/Release empirically on the Graphite multiprocessor simulator on a range of data structures, including queue, stack, and priority queue implementations, as well as on transactional applications. Results show that Lease/Release consistently improves both throughput and energy usage, by up to 5x, both for lock-free and lock-based data structure designs.
Some cautions regarding the phonological continuity hypothesis

We consider the Phonological Continuity Hypothesis (PCH) of Fitch (2018) in light of a broader range of formal systems. A consideration of the learning and generalization of simple patterns such as AAB from Marcus (Marcus 2000 Curr. Dir. 9, 145–147(doi:10.1111/1467-8721.00080)) shows that finite-state automata defined in the standard way fail to generalize in a compatible fashion. However, pushdown automata with finite-memory limits do show compatible generalization capabilities. The third class of formal systems—tree automata—provide yet another possibility for the processing of words within sentences. We conclude that there are additional possible formal differences between sound patterns and sentence patterns, which will make testing the PCH even more difficult.

Depression, suicidal risk, and its relation to coping in Indian school-going adolescents

Aims and Objectives: The study aimed at examining the prevalence of depression, suicidal risk in school going adolescents and to understand the stressors, coping methods used in relation to severity of depression and socio-demographic variables. Materials and Methods: Stratified Random sampling was used to select the 7 schools (8-10 grades) and 10 pre-university colleges (11 and 12 grades) from South Bangalore. Sample comprised of 1428 adolescents. Assessment tools used included Beck depression inventory, Checklist for stress, coping and suicidal behaviours, Suicidal probability scale, and Adolescent coping orientation to problems experienced inventory. Results: About 30% of the sample had moderate to severe depression, 3% reported suicidal behaviours and 0.7% had moderate to severe suicide risk. Older adolescents and girls had higher severity of depression. Suicidal risk was higher in males. Younger adolescents used more emotion focused coping strategies. Those with suicidal behaviours had higher scores on depression, hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and risk. Suicidal probability was predicted by scores on BDI, and methods of coping used. Conclusion: The study implicates need for preventive interventions in school setting in keeping with the sociodemographic and family factors and developmental needs of adolescents.
Vittaliana mangrovei Devadatha, Nikita, A.Baghela & V.V.Sarma, gen. nov, sp. nov. (Phaeosphaeriaceae), from Mangroves Near Pondicherry (India), Based on Morphology and Multigene Phylogeny

ABSTRACT Collection and examination of decaying wood samples of Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh. from Pondicherry mangroves, India, resulted in the discovery of a novel monotypic genus Vittaliana, based on the type species V. mangrovei, which shares close morphological affinities with Italica Wanas. , Camporesi & K.D. Hyde and Phaeosphaeriopsis M.P.S. Câmara, M.E. Palm & A.W. Ramaley. The concatenated LSU, SSU, TEF1α and ITS multigene phylogenetic analyses revealed that the new genus clustered together with Italica as a sister clade but forms a separate branch. In addition, morphological variations in Vittaliana mangrovei Devadatha, Nikita, A.Baghela & V.V. Sarma, gen. nov., sp. nov., such as semi-immersed, globose to subglobose ascomata, 5-6 distoseptate, phragmosporous, yellow to golden-yellow ascospores lacking a mucilaginous sheath and any type of ornamentation, and which are strongly constricted at the 4th septum, clearly delineate the new genus from the other genera in Phaeosphaeriaceae. Furthermore, Vittaliana Devadatha, Nikita, A.Baghela & V.V. Sarma, gen. nov., is saprobic and occurs in marine environment. Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic relation of our new species are discussed by comparing with closely related genera in Phaeosphaeriaceae.

Lorusso_Conservation 15_CS5.indd

Nowadays conservation of historical buildings requires structural engineering studies during the evaluation and preservation process [1]. This process, moreover, needs a preliminary investigation of the structural condition, involving the use of non-invasive and non-destructive technologies, such as thermography, stratigraphy and tomography. During the first phase of the conservation process (known as the Knowledge phase), a structural engineer acquires data on the site and then analyzes them in his office without having a contextualized view of the entire problem. In recent years, new technologies have emerged, allowing the development of new tools, which help to simplify access to information about the historical building. In particular, developments in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Augmented Reality (AR), have opened new perspectives that have improved the typical investigation process [2]: BIM offers a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility [3], while AR offers tools to view a physical, real-world environment augmented by computer-generated information [4]. In this scenario, this paper presents an experimental study which describes the process developed to build a tool aimed at improving the investigation of historical buildings. The study includes: 1. BIM information based on IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) file format; 2. AR visualization of BIM information using tablet and 3D glasses, contextualized to the scenario that the user is watching. Most of the work in this experimental research addressed: ● retrieving and developing BIM information related to the historical building by integrating data from non-invasive tools; ● evaluating AR as a visualization tool to display BIM information, contextualized to the building scenario the user is examining. The results were tested on the case study “Monastero Fortezza di Santo Spirito”, a fortified monastery, located in Ocre in the province of L’Aquila, Italy.
Enhanced Fast Discovery of Item Sets Based On Utility and Support Measures

Utility based data mining is a new research area interested in all types of utility factors in data mining processes and targeted at incorporating utility considerations in data mining tasks.The experimental evaluation on artificial datasets shows that utility based algorithm executes only for the low threshold value. The proposed project fix the high threshold value for Frequent Item set & scan the whole database with high threshold value. It takes both the utility and support measures into consideration (1). This method makes the item sets highly and frequently utilized and its generates different kinds of item sets namely High utility and high frequent itemsets (HUHF), High utility and low frequent itemsets (HULF), Low utility and high frequent itemsets (LUHF) and Low utility and low frequent itemsets (LULF). Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is incorporated into the system by generating a list of customers who are frequent buyers of these four different kinds of item sets.
A Combined Gradient-Echo/Spin-Echo DSC Method: A Surrogate Marker for Brain Tumor Histologic Grade and Angiogenesis in Patients

Methods: A total of 170 rCBV studies have been performed to date, with informed written consent, under guidelines approved by the Institutional Review Board at our Institution. The rCBV analysis has been completed on 123 of these studies. Of these 45 were gliomas that had tissue confirmation of diagnosis and are presented here. All MRI studies were performed on a 1.5T GE Signa System fitted with a 12" local gradient coil and a quadrature transmit-receive birdcage RF coil (IGC-Medical Advances, Milwaukee, WI). A 0.05-0.10 mmole/kg dose of Gadodiamide (Omniscan; Nycomed Amersham, Princeton, NJ) was administered to diminish T1 effects that might result from agent extravasation. Next, simultaneous GE/SE-EPI images, were acquired for 1 minute before and 2 minutes after a 0.15-0.25 mmole/kg bolus injection. Five, 7 mm slices were acquired at TE(GE)/TE(SE) = 30ms/109.1ms with fat suppression, TR=1s, a FOV=24cm and matrix = 64x64. Finally, conventional post-contrast T1-weighted images were acquired (SE, TE/TR = 11 ms/500 ms, matrix = 256x256). The ratio, GE and SE rCBV maps, corrected for agent extravasation were determined as previously described (3). Data was extracted from ROIs of the whole tumor (avoiding areas of necrosis), contralateral brain and from tumor “hot spots” defined as the areas of highest SE rCBV. All results are normalized to contralateral brain. A correlation between the MRIderived parameters and tumor grade was evaluated with the Spearman rank correlation test. Fisher’s linear discriminant analysis was applied to determine if a classification boundary, separating grade II-III from grade IV tumors, could be determined.
P-bundle bases and the prevalence of non-Higgsable structure in 4D F-theory models

We explore a large class of F-theory compactifications to four dimensions. We find evidence that gauge groups that cannot be Higgsed without breaking supersymmetry, often accompanied by associated matter fields, are a ubiquitous feature in the landscape of N = 1 4D F-theory constructions. In particular, we study 4D F-theory models that arise from compactification on threefold bases that are P1 bundles over certain toric surfaces. These bases are one natural analogue to the minimal models for base surfaces for 6D F-theory compactifications. Of the roughly 100,000 bases that we study, only 80 are weak Fano bases in which there are no automatic singularities on the associated elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds, and 98.3% of the bases have geometrically non-Higgsable gauge factors. The P1-bundle threefold bases we analyze contain a wide range of distinct surface topologies that support geometrically non-Higgsable clusters. Many of the bases that we consider contain SU(3)×SU(2) seven-brane clusters for generic values of deformation moduli; we analyze the relative frequency of this combination relative to the other four possible two-factor non-Higgsable product groups, as well as various other features such as geometrically non-Higgsable candidates for dark matter structure and phenomenological (SU(2)-charged) Higgs fields. ar X iv :1 50 6. 03 20 4v 2 [ he pth ] 3 J ul 2 01 5
Effects of Physical Education on Objectively Determined Physical Activity in Primary School Children--Which Proportioning Is Best?.

Physical Education (PE) can foster regular physical activity (PA) in children. However, children engage in insufficient moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) during PE. This study objectively investigated MVPA of children during a single, compared with double PE-period. In 294 children (7.1 ± 0.7 years) PA was objectively assessed. PE periods were determined and PA was individually calculated. Children spent 8.5 ± 7.3 minutes of each 45 minutes PE lesson in MVPA. Boys were significantly more active than girls (p ≤ .01). All children participated in 135 minutes PE/week, 32.7% were scheduled one double and one single PE-period. Children, with a double PE-period and one single lesson engaged in significantly less MVPA than children, who had three single periods of PE (6.7 ± 6.9 minutes/45 minutes vs. 9.4 ± 7.4 minutes/45 minutes, respectively; p ≤ .01) In conclusion, single periods of PE seem to be more effective in getting primary school children to engage in more MVPA than one double period per week.
Positional cloning and characterization of the papaya diminutive mutant reveal a truncating mutation in CpMMS19 gene.

•The papaya diminutive mutant exhibits miniature stature, retarded growth, and reduced fertility. This undesirable mutation appeared in the variety Sunset, the progenitor of the transgenic line SunUp, and was accidentally carried forward into breeding populations. •The diminutive mutation was mapped to chromosome 2 and fine mapped to scaffold 25. Sequencing of a bacterial artificial chromosome in the fine mapped region led to the identification of the target gene responsible for the diminutive mutant, a gene orthologous to MMS19 with a 36.8 kb deletion co-segregating with the diminutive mutant. •The genomic sequence of CpMMS19 is 62 kb, consisting of 20 exons and 19 introns. It encodes a protein of 1143 amino acids while the diminutive allele encodes a truncated protein of 287 amino acids. Expression of the full-length CpMMS19 was able to complement the thermosensitive growth of the yeast mms19 deletion mutant while expression of the diminutive allele resulted in increased thermosensitivity. Over-expression of the diminutive allele in Arabidopsis met18 mutant results in a high-frequency of seed abortion. •The papaya diminutive phenotype is caused by an alteration in gene function rather than a loss-of-function mutation. SCAR markers were developed for rapid detection of the diminutive allele in breeding populations.
