The Level of Intellectual Security and its Relationship with Life Satisfaction among Mutah University Students

The study aimed to reveal the level of intellectual security and its relationship to life satisfaction among students at the University of Mutah, Jordan. A correlation approach was used. To achieve those objectives, intellectual security and life satisfaction scales were developed, and their psychometric characteristics were verified. The sample consisted of 297 students (146 males, 151 females). The study results showed moderate levels of intellectual security and life satisfaction among the students, and that there is a relationship between intellectual security, social-life satisfaction, and personal-life satisfaction. Intellectual security did not differ between genders, and the life satisfaction of the females was better than that of the males. Intellectual security and life satisfaction did not differ by academic year. The study recommends paying attention to students struggling academically and providing therapeutic programmes to help them, and especially the males, in the development of life satisfaction.
When parsing and interpretation misalign: A case of WH-scope ambiguity in Mandarin

Abstract:A large amount of sentence-processing work has focused on revealing how the parser incrementally integrates each incoming word into the current linguistic representation. It is often explicitly or implicitly assumed that the structure endorsed by the parser should determine the ultimate interpretation of the sentence. The current study investigates whether the interpretive bias in sentence comprehension necessarily tracks the parsing bias. Our case study concerns the locality bias in nonlocal dependencies, specifically Mandarin wh-in-situ scope dependencies. Our findings suggest a misalignment between parsing and interpretative decisions at the global level. In particular, for Mandarin wh-in-situ constructions that involve scope ambiguity, there is a locality bias in parsing, but an antilocality bias in interpretation. Building upon the rational speech act framework, we propose a Bayesian pragmatic analysis to account for these findings. Under our proposal, the seeming conflict between parsing and interpretation will ultimately disappear because parsing preferences will be naturally embedded under the pragmatic reasoning process to generate the ultimate interpretation. The current study therefore makes novel contributions, both empirically and theoretically, to addressing the broader question about the relationship between parsing and interpretation.
Virus: Cooperative Localization for Indoor Positioning Systems

—The work done has as starting point an indoor localization system developed by Thales. It uses Open Beacon based sensors and relies on RSS measurements. A method is studied to obtain a target localization (mobile antenna) from RSS measurements between the latter and the anchors - standing sensors deployed in a strategic way and at a given space. The goal was not to attain the exact target coordinates, an Euclidean representation, but the one relative to the anchors: a visual representation of the target positions over time that shows the trajectory. Among the used methodologies, there are ﬁlters resembling the Kalman ones and others, MDS algorithm and Procrustes Analysis. Other processes were discarded as they proved to be unnecessary and/or unsuitable. To obtain the needed data (RSS measurements) were performed many instances of the anchors in various different physical scenarios were tested. The selected setup to illustrate the chosen methodologies was one of the ones that produced the best results, showing the preferred features to this kind of operation.
A Review on The Production of Wine as a Post- Harvest Processing Alternative for Mango, Banana, and Purple Sweet Potato

West Java is one of the regions in Indonesia that produces large numbers of mango, banana, and purple sweet potato. After harvesting, these commodities will undergo physical, chemical, and physiological changes so that further post-harvest processing is needed. One of the post-harvest processing that can be done is fermentation. Fermenting mango, banana, and purple sweet potato into wine is a simple and efficient method that can increase the economic value of the product. Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes; however, any fruit and tuber could be used for wine-making. The article reviews the potential of mango, banana, and purple sweet potato for wine production, the microbes involved, and pretreatments of mango, banana, and purple sweet potato.

Research on a Spectral Reconstruction Method with Noise Tolerance

As a new type of spectrometer, that based on filters with different transmittance features attracts a lot of attention for its advantages such as small-size, low cost, and simple optical structure. It uses post-processing algorithms to achieve target spectrum reconstruction; therefore, the performance of the spectrometer is severely affected by noise. The influence of noise on the spectral reconstruction results is studied in this paper, and suggestions for solving the spectral reconstruction problem under noisy conditions are given. We first list different spectral reconstruction methods, and through simulations demonstrate that these methods show unsatisfactory performance under noisy conditions. Then we propose to apply the gradient projection for sparse reconstruction (GRSR) algorithm to the spectral reconstruction method. Simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce the influence of noise on the spectral reconstruction process. Meanwhile, the accuracy of the spectral reconstruction results is dramatically improved. Therefore, the practicality of the filter-based spectrometer will be enhanced.
Influence of the femoral head screw position on the risk of cut-out in trochanteric fractures: a computational analysis

Cut-out of the hip screw is the most common mechanical complication for all implants used to treat trochanteric fractures and occurs when the screw perforates the femoral head surface. One of the factors that influence the incidence of this complication is the position of the screw, which can be characterized by the tip-apex (TAD) and calcar tip-apex (CalTAD) distances. Although frequently discussed in the literature, there is no consensus on the best implant position to reduce the risk of cut out. The applicability of TAD and CalTAD as parameters that predict the risk of this complication has also been questioned. Thus, the goal of this study is to analyse the biomechanical behaviour of different positions of the screw within the femoral head along the medial-lateral and inferior-superior directions. To accomplish this, a Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-rotation implant was modelled and finite element models of a right femur were developed using CT images. Two loading cases (walking and stair climbing) were simulated and a real density distribution was attributed to the femur. The minimum principal strains in the bone were used to investigate and compare the biomechanical performance of eight models with different screw positions in the inferior and central regions of the femoral head with 5, 10, 15 and 20 mm from its surface. Overall, the position less likely to lead to cut out was in the inferior region with a 10 mm distance. In a central position, the movement of the screw along the medial-lateral direction is not relevant. The results attributed a stronger predictive value to CalTAD.

Design of Experiment (DOE) Approach to Optimize Accuracy of Surface Roughness

This paper presents an investigation on the accuracy of average roughness (Ra) in three surface areas of specimen. For this study, we used two different probes of Mahr Surf XR20 which was MFW 250 tracing arm 6851804 (4.5mm) and tracing arm 6851806 (9.0mm). Full factorial design was used in the experiment plan. The normal probability graph, main effect and interaction plot had been analyzed by using MINITAB (software). The experiment result showed that the tracing arm 6851804 (4.5mm) consisted of small errors compared to the tracing arm 6851806 (9.0mm) based on the main effect plot and interaction plot analysis.
PURIFICATION AND PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION

It is now well-established that the active principle in the calcinogenic plant, Solanum malacoxylon (S. m. ), has biological properties similar to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol(1 ,25-(OH)z-Dg) [l-3]. This plant, or an extract therefrom, is effective in the anephric rat [4] and can induce the synthesis of the vitamin D-dependent intestinal calcium-binding protein (CaBP) and increase calcium absorption in the chick under conditions in which the kidney la-hydroxylase enzyme system is blocked [l] . The possible use of the Sm. factor as therapeutic alternative to l,25-(OH)2 -D3 in cases of disturbed calcium metabolism due to kidney failure and other causes has stirred considerable interest in the isolation of the active substance. Preliminary characterization of the Sm. principle revealed striking dissimilarities to vitamin D or to any of its biologically active metabolites and derivatives in two respects: high solubility in water and a molecular weight considerably higher than 1000 [2,5]. These properties suggest a greater molecular complexity than vitamin D or its known metabolites. Previous attempts at isolation have been unsuccessful so far. We wish to describe an isolation procedure which yields a highly purified, biologically active material that has allowed a more detailed, although preliminary, characterization of the 1,25-(08)2 -DJ-like principle(s) in Solanum malacoxylon.

This paper provides an overview of the Hour of Cyberinfrastructure (Hour of CI), a project creating a suite of self-paced, hour-long lessons aimed at helping learners in the areas of spatial, social, and environmental sciences take their first steps in the path toward cyberinfrastructure. Using collaboratively developed lessons written in Jupyter Notebooks, the Hour of CI aims to lower barriers to cyberinfrastructure for next-generation scientists and scholars from broad and diverse backgrounds. Early findings based on a pilot of four lessons suggest our approach has created engaging and appropriately challenging lessons for diverse learners. The project will continue developing lessons to help learners build cyber literacy for GIScience and prepare them to tackle global problems.
MINIMAL CONVEX COMBINATIONS OF SEQUENTIAL

We propose a computational approach based on the level set method to solve shape optimization problems where the objective function is dependent on the Laplace–Dirichlet eigenvalues of the domain. The approach is applied to the parameterized problem of minimizing the convex combination of sequential Laplace–Dirichlet eigenvalues, λk and λk+1. We show that as a function of the combination parameter, the optimal value is nondecreasing, Lipschitz continuous, and concave and that the minimizing set is upper hemicontinuous. The domains which minimize the first few Laplace–Dirichlet eigenvalues are known analytically or have been studied computationally, and it is known that the optimal solution for some values of k have multiple connected components. Our computations reproduce these previous results for the appropriate parameter values and extend these results, effectively capturing intermediate topology changes. The results are also compared to values obtained analytically for rectangular and elliptical shapes and to values for domains with nearly circular boundaries.
Feasibility of the Proposed Monetary Union in East African Community: Generalized Method of Moments Approach

This study examined the suitability of Theory of Optimum Currency as a basis for feasibility of proposed monetary union in East African Community (EAC) countries; Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania. The study sought to determine symmetry of; monetary shocks; inflation rates; fiscal deficit, public debt, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and degree of openness. Exploratory was used employing panel data covering 2000Q1-2016Q4. Generalized Method of Moments approach was utilized. Results showed convergence in the real exchange rate was statistically significant and negative implying formation of a monetary union reduced combined GDP. Policy makers in EAC countries could concentrate in adapting unfulfilled macroeconomic convergence criteria and strengthening cooperation in monetary policy co-ordinations.
Genetic Behaviour of Zika Virus and Identification of Motif

ZIKV is a mosquito-borne disease. It is known to cause neurological disorders and congenital disabilities in newborns. The Genome Sequence of the Zika virus is used for the study. The essential cell functionalities like circadian behavior and expression of genes are studied. Regulatory proteins are alternating functionalities during daytime and night time. Identifying motif is made by understanding the features of motifs, finding the count matrix, and formulating the profile matrix. The consensus string of the Zika virus is to be computed, and the score motif is to be calculated. Different techniques of motif finding like the Brute Force technique and Greedy Search techniques are proposed. In the Brute Force technique, each motif is selected, its score is to be calculated, and then the minimum score can be obtained. The Brute Force technique will take an enormous amount of time, but it is guaranteed to find a solution. The Greedy Search technique is not guaranteed to find motif like the Brute Force technique but can give a close answer in a realistic time. This paper presents the identification of motif in the Zika virus genome using programming techniques. Keywords—Circadian behaviour; consensus string; genome study; greedy search technique; motif search; regulatory proteins

Title page Title DNA Polymerase Gamma Recovers Mitochondrial Function and Inhibits Vascular Calcification by Interacted with p53 Authors

DNA polymerase gamma (PolG) is the major polymerase of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and essential for stabilizing mitochondrial function. Vascular calcification (VC) is common senescence related degenerative pathology phenomenon in the end-stage of multiple chronic diseases. Mitochondrial dysfunction was often observed in calcified vessels, but the function and mechanism of PolG in the calcification process was still unknown. The present study found PolG mice presented more severe calcification of aortas than wild type (WT) mice with vitamin D3 (Vit D3) treatment, and this phenomenon was also confirmed in vitro. Mechanistically, PolG could enhance the recruitment and interaction of p53 in calcification condition to recover mitochondrial function and eventually to resist calcification. Meanwhile, we found the mutant PolG (D257A) failed to achieve the same rescue effects, suggesting the 3’-5’ exonuclease activity guarantee the enhanced interaction of p53 and PolG in response to calcification stimulation. Thus, we believed that it was PolG, not mutant PolG, could maintain mitochondrial function and attenuate calcification in vitro and in vivo. And PolG could be a novel potential therapeutic target against calcification, providing a novel insight to clinical treatment.
Cohesive Cracking Simulation of Asphalt Mixture with Reflective Crack through XFEM

Firstly, the parameters of cohesive zone model in ABAQUS software are calibrated through the cohesive constitutive model determined by cohesive potential energy, which is provided by Oriz and Pandofi（1999）. Then, the validity and liability are verified by the single element example which compares extended finite element simulation with experimental results. Lastly, it puts forward the model of FEM based on the highway pre-sawed cracks. The curve of CMOD with changing temperature is obtained, and the curve can be divided into three stage segments. The middle stage segment changes dramatically for the local cracking in the crack tip field between asphalt surface and base. The research results illustrate the cracking mechanisms of asphalt pavement under changing temperature.
Tunable and dual band rectangular microstrip antenna for bluetooth and WiMAX applications

A rectangular microstrip antenna (RMSA) with two slots placed close and parallel to nonradiating edges for tunable and dual band operation with single feed has been demonstrated. A tunable operation can be achieved by the adding electrically small slots along the patch edges. For two frequencies TM10 and TM30 are the first two modes of simple RMSA are perturbed and two frequencies with same polarization, broadside radiation, and impedance characteristics. Dual frequency operations easily obtained if two slots placed together and are of same dimensions, which equals to greater than half of length. The proposed design is suitable for dual band operation for Bluetooth 2450 MHz–WiMAX 3500 MHz. Slot dimensions was taken identical for the symmetry. The performance parameters of the proposed RMSA with and without slots were compared. Furthermore, a parametric analysis carried out by taking variations in the length (Ls), width (d) and spacing (S) between the two slots, the frequency ratio is tuned in the range 1.41 to 1.45. The dimensions of the proposed antenna 50 × 54 × 1.6mm3 with the size reduction compared with conventional microstrip antenna (MSA). The proposed antenna is simulated using HFSS based on finite element method and simulated return loss, radiation pattern and impedance were presented. Finally fabrication and measurement of VSWR of the proposed antenna has been taken. The HFSS results and measured results are in good agreement. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A vacuum-driven peristaltic micropump with valved actuation chambers

This paper presents a simple peristaltic micropump design incorporated with valved actuation chambers and propelled by a pulsed vacuum source. The vacuum-driven peristaltic micropump offers high pumping rates, low backflow, appreciable tolerance to air bubbles, and minimal destruction to fluid contents. The pumping device, fabricated by laser micromachining and plasma bonding of three polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers, includes a pneumatic network, actuation membranes, and microfluidic channels. As the key to peristaltic motion, the sequential deflection of the elastic membranes is achieved by periodic pressure waveforms (negative) traveling through the pneumatic network, provided by a vacuum source regulated by an electromagnetic valve. This configuration eliminates the complicated control logic typically required in peristaltic motion. Importantly, the valved actuation chambers substantially reduce backflow and improve the pumping rates. In addition, the pneumatic network with negative pressure provides a means to effectively remove air bubbles present in the microflow through the gas-permeable PDMS membrane, which can be highly desired in handling complex fluidic samples. Experimental characterization of the micropump performance has been conducted by controlling the resistance of the pneumatic network, the number of normally closed valves, the vacuum pressure, and the frequency of pressure pulses. A maximal flow rate of 600 µL min−1 has been optimized at the pulsed vacuum frequency of 30 Hz with a vacuum pressure of 50 kPa, which is comparable to that of compressed air-actuated peristaltic micropumps.
Object Position Tracking Algorithm of Intelligent Robot using Sound Source and Absolute Orientation

As recent research on home service robot has been performed actively in these days. It becomes very important for the robot to react upon voice and sound source, and then tracks an object position in dynamic environment like a home. When people choose a path for finding a destination of objects, in case of sound, they track a direction of the sound source. Or in case as a position of the object be girded with a point on map, people track the position according to absolute orientation of the present position and the sound source position. In this paper, In this manner we had views on what people decide own direction when they react one`s voice or go some directions. We suggest a algorithm that intelligent mobile robots on which we installed a sound source tracking board and a digital magnetic compass board go some object`s positions by the direction of sound source and absolute orientation.
