The Reference Values of YBT-LQ in Indian School Going Children- A Cross Sectional Study

Introduction: Balance plays an important role in growing children for playing, jumping, hopping and running activities. These sports like activities need dynamic balance to perform without falls. YBT –LQ is reliable tool to evaluate both static and dynamic balance on lower limb in standing. Among children of age 6 to 12 years reference values are not available in literature. Hence present study determine reference values of Y-Balance Test-Lower Quarter(YBT-LQ) in Indian school going children and to find out correlation of anthropometric measures, age and gender with YBT-LQ. Material and Methods: Total 364 typically developing children were randomly selected of both genders (182 boys and 182 girls) of age 6to12 years. Three successive trials of YBT-LQ were performed for each leg in standing on Y-balance kit. The mean of three successful trials was noted for three directions of YBT-LQ for lower extremities. Data analysis and Results: ANOVA and Boneferroni test were used to analyze correlation and association of YBT-LQ values with anthropometric data, age and gender respectively with 95% of confidence interval. The reference values of YBT-LQ of anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reach values ranged from 45.54cm to 76.48cm, 60.77cm to 102.8cm and 60.58cm to 99.96cm respectively in children age 6 to12 years. Height, age and gender are the contributing factors affecting YBT-LQ reach scores. Conclusion: The reference values of YBT-LQ can be use as baseline data for balance evaluation in children of age 6 to 12 years. Height is the major factor causing variations in YBT-LQ reach scores.
Optimized Biodiesel Production and Emulsification of Pongamia Seed Oil Using Taguchi Method

In the present investigation, two stage transesterification process of raw Pongamia oil with concentrated sulphuric acid, methanol and sodium hydroxide produced Pongamia pinnata seed biodiesel. The process parameters including the reaction time, reaction temperature, acidic concentration, base concentration and methanol to oil molar ratio were varied within the specified range to obtain maximum biodiesel yield. Methanol to oil molar ratio 7:1, reaction time 60 minutes, reaction temperature 70C and catalyst concentration of 0.25% yielded 96% of biodiesel. Design of experiments based on four factor three level (L9) orthogonal array of Taguchi approach reduced the number of iterations from 81 to 9 in identifying the stable emulsified formulation of biodiesel, diesel and water with surfactant. Sample number 8 viz., D75-PBD20-W5-S6 emulsified fuel blend was found to be stable for more than fourteen days. Based on this Taguchi method, number of experiments and duration was significantly reduced in identifying the stable emulsified fuel blend which can be tested further in CI engine.
Influences of growth regulators on callus induction, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine contents and chemical analysis of mature embryo of Ephedra strobilacea Bunge

An experiment was carried out to develop a protocol for callus induction of Ephedra strobilacea Bunge from embryo. Different types and concentrations of plant growth regulators were tested in order to obtain the best callus formation, and the following hormonal ranges: 2, 4-D: 1 Kin: 1 (mg L -1 ) and 2, 4-D: 1 BA: 0.1 (mg L -1 ) had showed the highest callus induction and the highest fresh weight, respectively. Meanwhile, ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine contents in callus were analyzed and we found that at NAA: 1 Kin: 1 (mg L -1 ) range the ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine contents had significantly increased compared to the other treatments.

Design of Detecting Markers to Rice Blast Resistance Gene pi5and Their Validation

Blast is one of the most devastating rice fungial diseases in the world. ,and efficientl use of the resistance genes is essential Tfor itso control the disease fundamentally,using resistance genes efficiently is essential.The resistance gene pi5 contains the NBS-LRR(nucleotide binding site-leucine-rich repeats)type genes Pi5-1and Pi5-2,which are of independent inheritance.To ascertain the resistance spectrum of pi5 and promote its utilization efficiency in resistantce breeding,the single-gene line of pi5 was inoculated with 15 physiological races of rice blast which were separated from Liaoning province and,which belonged to 6taxa,respectively.The results of the inoculation test showed that the single-gene line of pi5 was resistant or moderately resistancte of pi5 to 12physiological races of the was the middle level and stable resistancepathogen,and susceptible or moderately susceptible to only 3physiological races were pathogenic to single gene line of pi5,which indicated that pi5 is ahas a broad-resistance spectrum resistant gene and is,therefore,well-suited to be used in Liaoning province.To promote the utilization efficiency of pi5 and applied value in blast resistantce breeding of pi5,we designed specific primers according to the CDS(coding sequence)of pi5-1and pi5-2,and by gene amplification and sequence contrasting,6pairs of the testing primers were validatedshown to be suitable to be used infor selection of hybrids and parent germplasm as parents,which maybe contribute to promoteing the efficiency and accuracy of resistantce breeding.
High transformation efficiency in Arabidopsis using extremely low inoculum Agrobacterium

mediated transformation methods have allowed the stable Agrobacterium introduction of target genes into the nuclear genomes of recipient plants. Among them, the floral dip approach represents the simplest due to its straightforwardness and high transformation efficiency. In a standard floral dip protocol that most researchers follow, cells are grown to Agrobacterium stationary phase (OD ≈2.0) in large cultures and resuspended in inoculation medium to OD ≥0.8. Here, we tested the effects of low inoculum on transformation rate. Our data revealed that the Agrobacterium floral dip method still guarantees relatively high transformation rate in Col-0 ecotype even with very low Arabidopsis thaliana Agrobacterium inoculum (OD =0.002). Our finding thus simplifies the floral dipping protocol further, which allows transformation with small bacterial culture and enables high-throughput transformation of large numbers of constructs in parallel.
Interaction and Reaction of the Antioxidant Mn III [Meso-Tetrakis(4-NMethyI Pyridinium) Porphyrin] with the Apoptosis Reporter Lipid Phosphatidylserine

In the present study, the binding of the cationic MnTMPyP [meso-tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridinium) porphyrin] to negatively charged membrane models containing phosphatidylcholine (PC)/ phosphatidylserine (PS) and the porphyrin reactivity with PS-derived peroxides (LOOH) were evaluated. This investigation is relevant due to the participation of PS in cell signaling and apoptosis. Addition of PC/PS liposomes to MnTMPyP solutions led to spectral changes of the porphyrin electronic absorption spectrum suggestive of electrostatic interactions with the negatively charged interface provided by PS. The binding of MnTMPyP to PC/PS liposomes was corroborated by the quenching of the fluorophore merocyanine 540. In addition total energy calculations of saturated and unsaturated PS based on the spinpolarized variant of KS-DFT were used to support some experimental data. Cyclic voltammetry analysis revealed that the association to PC/PS liposomes shifted the redox potential of the Mn/Mn (+87 mV vs NHE, in aqueous buffered solution) couple to a more positive value to (+110 mV vs NHE). This event favors the oxidation of O2 -• to O2 by the porphyrin. MnTMPyP was able to react with the lipid-derived peroxides as evidenced by spectral changes of the porphyrin consistent with the generation of a high valence state (Mn=O) of the catalyst. The spectral changes were not observed when biological lipids containing unsaturated PC and PS were replaced by the corresponding dipalmitoyl (DP)-
The Decision Arena: A model-centric interactive workspace for Product-Service System design

Design has become an intense ‘social activity’: working with others and sharing a common understanding are of critical importance to find satisfying solutions for customers and stakeholders. This leads to the issue of how to set up a collaborative, model-based physical environment to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing when different disciplines get together in the ‘design exercise’. This paper describes the development of such an environment, named the ‘Decision Arena‘. It further presents the results of an experimental study involving a cross-disciplinary team of industrial practitioners.

A set of suitable local similarity transformations are used to non-dimensionalize the governing equations of the present problem. The system of ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by MATLAB bvp4c solver. The effect of the involved parameters on Velocity, Temperature, and Concentration, Skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number has been studied and numerical results are presented graphically and in tabular form. The numerical results are in good agreement with those of the results previously published in the literature.
Dating Victimization Among Chilean University Students: Gender Roles and Christian Spirituality

Abstract This correlational-multivariate, cross-sectional quantitative study diﬀerentially determined by sex the prevalence of dating victimization by violence, the self-perception of victimization, and the attempt to ask for help to end a problematic relationship, as well as analyzing the explanatory weight of the attitudes to gender roles and Christian spirituality on these variables. The study sample, non-probabilistic and by convenience, was comprised of 759 Chilean university students. 63.9% were women and the average age was 20.5 years (SD=1.69). Men report suﬀering more physical violence and violence by coercion, and women have more tools to perceive their situation of victimization and to ask for help. Transcendent attitudes are a protective factor, stereotypes a risk factor, and the influence of religion is paradoxical. However, the explanatory power of these variables is low. In conclusion, dating violence is a problem present in the study sample, with the experience of victimization being diﬀerent for men and women.
Numerical Modelling of the Behaviour of the Cervical Spine under the Effect of a Flexion / Extension

Numerical simulation is today widely used in several fields of engineering, and research undertaken for more than 20 years concerning the geometric and mechanical modeling of the spine gradually leads to clinical applications of major interest. Indeed, the in vivo and in vitro evaluation tools pose a certain number of limitations: non-standardized procedures and inter-specimen variability for in vitro tests, medical, ethical constraints, and inter-individual variability for in vivo. These limitations are actually obstacles to comparison. It is notably within the framework of implant comparisons that the methods of structural calculation, and more particularly finite element modeling, widely used in classical mechanics, find their usefulness. in this context, this present work consists in developing a three-dimensional model of the cervical spine, in order to subsequently optimize the fitting of disc prostheses
Answer to editor and referee

This study aims to test the capacity of Flow-3D regarding the simulation of a rockslide-generated impulse wave by evaluating the influence of the extent of the computational domain, the grid resolution, the corresponding computation times on the accuracy of modelling results. A detailed analysis of the Lituya Bay 15 tsunami event (1958, Alaska, maximum recorded run-up of 524 m a.s.l.) is presented. A focus is put on the tsunami formation and run-up in the impact area with the numerical model. Several simulations with a simplified bay geometry are performed in order to test the concept of a “denser fluid”, compared to the seawater in the bay, for the impacting rockslide material. Further, a topographic and bathymetric surface of the impact area are set up. The observed maximum run-up can be reproduced using a uniform grid resolution of 5 m, where the wave overtops 20 the hillcrest facing the slide source, then flows diagonally down the slope. The model is extended along the entire bay to simulate the wave propagation. The tsunami trimline is well recreated when using a) a uniform mesh size of 20 m or b) a non-uniform one of 15x15x10 m with a relative roughness of 2 m for the topographic surface. The trimline mainly results from the primary wave, in some locations also from reflected waves. The “denser fluid” is a suitable, simple concept to recreate a sliding mass impacting a water body, in this case with impact velocities of 25 ~93 ms. The tsunami event and the related trimline are well reproduced using the 3D-modelling approach with the density evaluation model available in Flow-3D.
Imbalanced Fault Classification of Bearing via Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks with Gradient Penalty

Recently, generative adversarial networks (GANs) are widely applied to increase the amounts of imbalanced input samples in fault diagnosis. However, the existing GAN-based methods have convergence difficulties and training instability, which affect the fault diagnosis efficiency. This paper develops a novel framework for imbalanced fault classification based on Wasserstein generative adversarial networks with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP), which interpolates randomly between the true and generated samples to ensure that the transition region between the true and false samples satisfies the Lipschitz constraint. The process of feature learning is visualized to show the feature extraction process of WGAN-GP. To verify the availability of the generated samples, a stacked autoencoder (SAE) is set to classify the enhanced dataset composed of the generated samples and original samples. Furthermore, the exhibition of the loss curve indicates that WGAN-GP has better convergence and faster training speed due to the introduction of the gradient penalty. Three bearing datasets are employed to verify the effectiveness of the developed framework, and the results show that the proposed framework has an excellent performance in mechanical fault diagnosis under the imbalanced training dataset.
Evaluating the reliability of U-Pb LA-ICP-MS carbonate geochronology: matrix issues and a potential calcite validation reference material

We document that the reliability of carbonate U-Pb dating by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is improved by matching the aspect ratio of the LA single hole drilling craters and propagating of long-term excess variance and systematic uncertainties. We investigated the impact of different matrices and ablation crater geometries 10 using U-Pb isotope analyses of one primary (WC-1) and two secondary reference materials (RMs). Validation RMs (VRMs) include a previously characterized (ASH-15D) and a new candidate (JT), characterized by ID-TIMS (intercept age: 13.797 ± 0.031 Ma) with excellent agreement to pooled LA-ICP-MS measurements (13.81 ± 0.11 ¦ 0.30 Ma), U concentration of approx. 1 μg/g and 238U/206Pb ratios from 5 to 460, well defining the isochron. Differences in ablation crater depth to diameter ratios (aspect ratio) introduce an offset due to downhole fractionation and/or matrix effects. This effect can be observed either when 15 the crater size between U-Pb RM and sample changes or when the ablation rate for the sample is different than for the RM. Observed deviations are up to 20% of the final intercept age depending on the degree of crater geometry mismatch. The longterm excess uncertainty was calculated to be in the range of 2% (ASH-15D) to 2.5% (JT), and we recommend propagating this uncertainty into the uncertainty of the final results. Additionally, a systematic offset to the ID-TIMS age of 2-3% was observed for ASH-15D but not for JT. This offset might be due to different ablation rates of ASH-15D compared to the primary RM or 20 remaining matrix effects, even when chosen aspect ratios are similar.
IoT Based Wearable Device Monitoring Driver’s Stress, Fatigue and Drowsiness

– Driving in the most stressful environments such as high traffic which is correlated with high degree of accidents should be avoided, so the measuring of stress, fatigue and drowsiness is done. This paper is focused to develop a wearable device to monitor the driver’s abnormal conditions such as stress, fatigue and drowsiness. Physiological sensors embedded device becomes ubiquitous in the growing Internet of Things (IoT). In this study, we focus on heart beat and eye blink monitoring to develop an efficient and robust mechanism for stress and drowsiness identification. Using machine learning algorithms from the heart rate signals alone, we could achieve 90% accuracy in detecting the stress. Preprocessing is achieved to distinguish valid signals from noise. By using our system, we can provide solutions in early stage of the abnormal conditions.
The first record of Grateloupia subpectinata from the New Zealand region and comparison with G. prolifera, a species endemic to the Chatham Islands

Abstract A finely pinnately branched species of Grateloupia not seen previously in New Zealand was collected in Tauranga, New Zealand, growing on a tug boat. Molecular sequencing data (rbcL) revealed it to be Grateloupia subpectinata, a species first described from Japan, and also reported as native to Korea and China, and introduced to Britain, France, and Australia. The only species of Grateloupia with morphology similar to G. subpectinata in the New Zealand region is G. prolifera from the Chatham Islands. A sequence of this species was obtained for comparative purposes and found to be distinct from G. subpectinata.
Motivation Of Household Electricity Customers To Generate Electricity In Indonesia

Technological developments in the world of electricity enable household electricity customers to generate independent electricity. It is reflected from the matter of concern for the environment, electricity tariff, attraction toward technology, attraction toward electricity, reputation of electricity companies, and power outage. The test was carried out empirically to reveal the motives and characteristics that significantly influence the intention to generate electricity at the household scale by using, for instance, electricity from renewable energy. The results of research in Indonesia show that the motivation of household electricity customers is influenced by financial factors related to the price of electr icity tariff and supporting factors such as government subsidies, regulations on power generation equipment and the selling price of electricity. Meanwhile, concern for the environment, attraction toward technology, attraction toward electricity, the reputation of the electricity company, and power outages do not significantly influence the motivation of household electricity customers.
Content knowledge level of elementary mathematics teachers: The case of a school district in the Philippines

Demonstrating knowledge of content requires teachers to display extensive knowledge of the critical concepts in the discipline. This study was set up to provide a research-based landscape of the content knowledge level of elementary mathematics teachers viewed in the local district of Ayungon in the Division of Negros Oriental, Philippines. Survey and correlational methods of research were used in the study involving 95 non-randomly selected teachers. Results revealed that the content knowledge level of the teachers was approaching proficiency. The teachers’ educational attainment, number of training attended, and the number of years in teaching mathematics were not significantly related to their content knowledge level. It was concluded that teaching experience and professional development in the form of pursuing graduate studies and attending training did not have bearing with the content knowledge level possessed by the teachers. However, the teachers were inferred as resourceful and committed to teaching mathematics despite their weaknesses in the content knowledge to share with their learners. Hence, enhancement training in all areas in mathematics is to be provided to elementary mathematics teachers by implementing the training design developed by the researchers. The ultimate goal is to develop further the content knowledge, mastery, and skills of the teachers to achieve the highest proficiency level in mathematics. Keywords: Content knowledge, proficiency level, enhancement training design
Reach or Trust Optimisation? A Citizen Trust Analysis in the Flemish Public Broadcaster VRT

In democracies, one of Public Service Media’s (PSM) main roles is to inform the public. In a digital news ecosystem, where commercial, citizen, and alternative news sources have multiplied, questions about the ability and need for PSM to fulfil this role are increasingly being raised. While the role of PSM can and should be scrutinized, a too-narrow a focus on an informed citizenry may obfuscate aspects, other than audience reach and objectivity, that are key to this information role, such as trust. Against this background, this article studies whether and to what extent citizens still trust the news and information services of their public broadcaster, asking if that trust is still high, whether there is a difference between groups in the population, and if trust is in line with reach. Based on a representative survey of news users in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking community of Belgium, the article studies the reach and trust scores of the brands of VRT, Flanders’ PSM, and compares them to those of its main competitors, with a specific focus on differences in terms of age, education levels, and political orientation. The results suggest that VRT struggles more than the main commercial players to reach young people and the lower-educated, but still leads when it comes to trust. The data show the continued importance of widening our assessment of PSM beyond market-focused indicators of reach.
National ecosystem services assessment in Slovakia – meeting old liabilities and introducing new methods

This article provides an overview and results of the pilot national ecosystem services assessment in Slovakia. It follows the MAES process and past ecosystem services (ES) research in Slovakia and is based on original research methodology using spatial and statistical data. The initial step of national ES assessment resulted in the selection of significant ES for the evaluation process, where 18 ES in three groups were selected (five provisioning, 10 regulatory/maintenance and three cultural ES). An original assessment model provided the theoretical and methodological framework for national ES evaluation. The principal result is an assessment of the national landscape’s capacity for ES provision, based on evaluation of the landscape units and selected properties and indicators at the ecosystem level. These inputs included habitat types and watersheds, administrative units, ‡ ‡,§,| § § |,¶
