Water Mass Distribution , Mixing and Transport in the Southern Adriatic after a Low Production of Winter Dense Waters 0611535 N 73-9858-A 2-5

Enhanced mixing of North Adriatic Dense Water (NAdDW) occurs in a strong frontal region as this cold and fresh intermediate water enters the southern Adriatic basin and meets warm and salty Modified Levantine Intermediate Water (MLIW) coming from the Ionian Sea. This study examines how NAdDW was mixed and transformed as it traveled southward from the Gargano to the Bari region and investigates the pathway and intrusion patterns of MLIW in late winter/spring 2009. Hydrographic data are analyzed to compute source water fractions via a least-squares analysis method and combined with ADCP data to compute source water volume fluxes. Results show that despite an anomalous low year for NAdDW production in the Adriatic, a warmer, fresher and lighter version of traditional NAdDW (i.e. 2009 NAdDW) endured its journey from Gargano to Bari. In the Gargano region, 2009 NAdDW (with fractions up to 80–90%) traveled southward in a non-continuous thin, dense vein between 35 m and 100 m isobaths, with diluted cores ð450%Þ extending to 140 m depth, and with fluxes of −0.05 Sv, to the southeast, south of Palagruz̆a Sill. Near the sill, 2009 NAdDW was further mixed and diluted with MLIW and surface water. By the time it reached the Bari region, the 2009 NAdDW fraction in the water column was reduced to about 20%. MLIW intrusions observed over the Sill and in northern sections of the study area suggest a splitting of MLIW pathways (stemming from the main South Adriatic rim pathway) towards the central Adriatic. Source water fraction results combined with velocity and seismic oceanography data show that eddies in the study area are one mechanism for the generation of MLIW intrusions towards the northwest. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Are Only Antibody Levels Involved in the Protection against Pertussis in Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Recipients

children have been infected with Epstein-Barr virus by the time they are 3 years old, but infection occurs after maternal antibodies have waned toward the end of the first year of life [6] rather than vertically. With HHV-8, some investigators dispute that vertical transmission is an important route at all [7, 8]. In considering postnatal transmission, we noted that, as in other studies [9–12], prevalence continues to rise in older prepubescent children, suggesting that this virus can be transmitted by nonsexual, nonvertical routes. In adolescents and young adults, sexual activity (or the salivary exchange associated with it) is likely to contribute to further spread. In Brazilian Amerindians, scarification is not widespread, and “tattooing” is typically done by staining with natural juices rather than through needle use. We are not aware of blood-letting being a common practice in Amerindians. Furthermore, transmission via blood is not an efficient route of transmission [13]. Hence, we doubt that blood exposure is an important contributor in our population. In sum, the routes of HHV-8 transmission remain poorly understood. High-prevalence populations provide useful groups to study, since the incidence must be high. We are continuing our Amerindian investigations by studying families, principally in the hope of better defining transmission routes. We concur that longitudinal studies may be the most definitive approaches to understanding transmission, and we look forward to seeing the results of studies now being initiated in Egypt and Africa and on high-risk European and American groups, such as homosexual men.

Detecting App-DDoS Attacks Based on Marking Access and d-SVDD

In order to enhance the extensibility of current attack feature extracted and detection means for App-DDoS(Application Layer Distributed Denial of Service, App-DDoS) attacks, a novel feature extracted method based on marking access and a new detection algorithm named d-SVDD are proposed. After expressing kinds of App-DDoS attacks as characteristic vectors by access marked strategy and feature extracted strategy, d-SVDD algorithm is used for secondary classification and detection of pre-set area around decision boundary based on SVDD. It is proved by experiments that the proposed feature extracted and detection means can realize effective detection for kinds of App-DDoS attacks, both have satisfying time, space and extensibility performance.
Pushing Bytes: Cloud-Scale Data Replication with RDMC

Data center infrastructures frequently replicate objects to create backups or to copy executables and input files to compute nodes. This task occurs under time pressure: data is at risk of loss until replicated for fault-tolerance, and in the case of parallel processing systems like Spark [33], useful computation can’t start until the nodes all have a copy of the executable images. Cloud elasticity creates a similar need to rapidly copy executables and their inputs. To address these needs, we introduce RDMC: a fast reliable data replication protocol that implements multicast as a pattern of RDMA unicast operations, which maximizes concurrency while minimizing unnecessary transfers. RDMC can be used in any setting that has RDMA or a software RDMA emulation. Our focus is on use of replication as an element of the data center infrastructure. We evaluate overheads for the hardwaresupported case using microbenchmarks and heavy-load experiments, and also describe preliminary experiments using a technique that offloads the entire data transfer pattern into the NICs, further reducing latency while freeing server resources for other tasks.
KARYOTYPE ANALYSIS AND NEW CHROMOSOME NUMBER REPORTS FOR NINE VICIA SPECIES IN IRAN

This study concerns diploid chromosome numbers and karyotype analysis of nine species belonging to four sections (Vicilla, Cracca, Variegata and Anatropostylia) of the subgenus Vicilla of the genus Vicia (Fabaceae). The chromosome numbers of Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca, V. aucheri, V. ciceroideae, V. gariensis, V. iranica, V. koeieana, V. rechingeri, V. sojakii and V. venulosa are reported here for the first time. The basic chromosome number showed a range of x = 5, x = 6 and x = 7. The majority of the studied taxa were diploid with 2n = 10, 2n = 12 and 2n = 14. In a group of x = 7, three tetraploids species (2n = 28) were determined. Karyologically, the chromosomes observed were mainly from submetacentric and subtelocentric types. Based on Stebbines karyotype classification the studied Vicia species were placed in three classes: 2A, 3A & 4A.
RESOURCE PARTITIONING OF SYMPATRIC NOROPS (BETA ANOLIS) IN A SUBTROPICAL MAINLAND COMMUNITY

During an approximately four-week period the ecology and interrelationships of sympatric anoles (Norops spp., Beta Anolis) was studied at a lowland forest site in Belize. The primary aim was to investigate aspects of niche overlap and resource partitioning among species in a typical mainland forest community by quantifying the dimensions of morphology, structural habitat and microclimate. Through characterization of each ecological niche we aimed to determine how these lizards partition the complex resource base and habitat in which they co-exist. Anole species at the study site clearly appear to partition environmental resources along the three major resource axes of microclimate, habitat structure, and probably also prey size, as originally defined by Pianka (1974). Two of the species also show evidence of sexual size dimorphism, indicating that the ‘total’ niche of these species is further divided into two ‘sub-niches’ corresponding to each sex. Further experimental manipulations are required, however to demonstrate conclusively whether interspecific competition alone is responsible for structural patterns within anole communities such as this, and also to define the function of differential susceptibility among species to parasites. In the case of three species, a positive correlation between the number of lamellae on the fourth toe of the hind foot and perch height was observed, supporting the notion that lamella number is highly adaptive for an arboreal lifestyle and related to habitat use.
Specifying and Verifying Hysteresis Signature System with HOL-Z

We report on a case-study in using the data-oriented modeling language Z to formalize a security architecture for administering digital signatures and its architectural security requirements. Within an embedding of Z in the higher-order logic Isabelle/HOL, we provide formal machine-checked proofs of the correctness of the architecture with respect to its requirements. A formalization and verification of the same architecture has been previously carried out using the process-oriented modeling language PROMELA and the SPIN model checker. We use this as a basis for comparing these two different approaches to formalization (infinite state with rich data types versus finite state) and verification (theorem proving versus model checking).
Sand burial Disturbance Macrobenthic recovery Wave exposure Intertidal rocky shore

Periodic inundation by sand is a very common feature of rocky coasts throughout the world. Even so, there have been few direct observations or experiments to investigate the role of sediments on intertidal rocky shores. We designed a field experiment in Mazatlán Bay, Mexico, to test the initial impact and subsequent * This research was supported by a fund provided by the Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnoloǵıa (UNAM) and a fund provided to Celia Olabarria in 2004 and 2005 by the University of Vigo for overseas short stays. The complete text of the paper is available at http://www.iopan. gda.pl/oceanologia/ 392 B. Yáñez, J. L. Carballo, C. Olabarria, J. J. Barrón recovery of intertidal macrobenthic assemblages exposed to sand burial at two sites of varying wave exposure. Both sites supported different natural assemblages. Treatment plots for the addition of sediment and control plots (50× 50 cm), separated by at least 1.5 m, were randomly placed across the mid-water tidal level. The initial response of the resident macrobenthos and the subsequent recolonization was monitored over a period of 95 days. The main effect of sediment deposition at both sites was mortality and removal of biota due to smothering. The recovery process was rapid and may in part have been the result of the mechanism by which the small, disturbed patches were recolonized. Most of the invertebrates colonized the patches as adults; several seaweeds exhibited vegetative growth as the major mechanism of colonization (e.g., Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, 1753, Amphiroa valonioides Yendo, 1902 and Chaetomorpha antennina (Borgensen) Kutzing, 1849). The rate of recovery varied between the sites, however. Recovery of species numbers proceeded quickly at the sheltered site (day 7), but took 95 days at the exposed site. In contrast, biomass reached control levels by day 45 at the sheltered site, but already by day 15 at the exposed site. By day 95, the assemblages recovered to 83.5% and 81% similarity with the controls at the sheltered and exposed sites respectively. Although differences in wave exposure could be very important in determining the different patterns of recovery at both sites, other biological processes may also play an important part.
The short-run dynamics of inflation: estimating a "Hybrid New Keynesian Phillips Curve" for Argentina

Based on recent developments in the empirical modeling of the short-run dynamics of inflation, we estimate a "Hybrid New Keynesian Phillips Curve" for Argentina over the period 1993-2003, which assumes that while a fraction of the firms are forward-looking, the others use a backward-looking rule to set prices. We extend the model to a small open economy, considering the influence of nominal devaluation and foreign inflation on domestic prices. Although we find a significant forward-looking behavior, backwardness seems to be more relevant for domestic prices setting. Finally, we cannot reject verticality of the Phillips Curve in the long run.

First Report of a Sea Louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis , Infestation on Juvenile Pink Salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha , in Nearshore Habitat

High infestation rates of the Sea Louse ( Lepeophtheirus salmonis ) have been reported on juvenile salmonids in Europe since 1989; however, this species has not been reported on juvenile Pacific salmonids until now. Magnitude of Sea Lice infestation was examined in 2001 on juvenile Pink Salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha ) migrating through a British Columbia archipelago. On average, the 751 juvenile Pink Salmon sampled weighed 2.25 g (± 0.039 SE), were infected with 11.3 (± 0.41 SE) Sea Lice per fish and 6.1 (± 0.24SE) Sea Lice per gram host weight. Fully 75.0% of fish were infected at loads equivalent to or higher than the lethal limit reported for much larger Sea Trout ( Salmo trutta ) post-smolts. Abundance (Kruskal-Wallis statistic = 100.95, p<0.0001) and intensity (KW= 70.05, p<0.0001) of lice, and mean number of lice/g host weight (K-W= 112.23, p<0.0001) were significantly higher in juvenile Pink Salmon in close proximity to salmon farms, than in Pink Salmon distant from salmon farms.
Molecular Docking Studies on Pyrazolopyrimidine and their Derivatives as Human Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Inhibitors

PI3K (Phosphoinositid-3-Kinase) is the mostly used protein as a target for the ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is very deadly disease in mostly women. PI3K have three subunit classes such as p110a, p110 beta, p110g which plays very important role in the development in ovarian cancer. P110a is mostly responsible in sever ovarian cancer among all three classes of PI3K. We worked to find the best possible inhibitors for p110a of PI3K. Crystal structure of p110a subunit PI3K, which has no complex with any other molecule taken from structural database (PDB). In-Silico drug designing approaches follow for molecular docking studies using AutoDock 3.05. The docked complexes were validated and enumerated based on the AutoDock Scoring function to pick out the best inhibitors based on docked Energy. Thus from the entire 70 ligand compounds which were Docked, we got 5 best derivatives of pyrazolopyrimidine with optimal docked Energy (pyrazolo pyrimidine, 5a: -22.64 kcal/mol; pyrazolo pyrimidine, 13: -21.43kcal/mol; pyrazolo pyrimidine, 5e: -21.88kcal/mol; pyrazolo pyrimidine, 10: -18.77kcal/mol, pyrazolo pyrimidine, 25:-16.5kcal/mol). Further the five best-docked complexes were analyzed through Python Molecular Viewer software for their interaction studies.
REPORTS : CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND RISK FACTORS DOES THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS AND CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY RISK VARY BY RACE ? EVIDENCE FROM THE HEALTH AND RETIREMENT STUDY

Results: For both Whites and Blacks, depressive symptoms were associated with a significantly elevated hazard of total CVD mortality (Whites: HR51.46; 95% CI: 1.33, 1.61; Blacks: HR51.42, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.83). Adjusting for health and socioeconomic covariates, Whites with elevated depressive symptoms had a 13% excess hazard of CVD mortality (HR51.13, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.25) compared to Whites without elevated depressive symptoms. The HR in Blacks was similar, although the confidence interval included the null (HR51.12, 95% CI: .86, 1.46). The hazard associated with elevated depressive symptoms did not differ significantly by race (P.15 for all comparisons). Patterns were similar in analyses restricted to respondents age $65.
A Fast Inverse Kinematics Solution for an n-link Joint Chain

The Cyclic Coordinate Descent (CCD) is a well known algorithm used for inverse kinematics solutions in applications involving joint-chains and moving targets. Even though a CCD algorithm can be easily implemented, it can take a series of iterations before converging to a solution, and also generate undesirable joint rotations. This paper presents a novel single-pass algorithm that is fast and eliminates problems associated with improper and large angle rotations. Experimental results are presented to show the performance benefits of the proposed algorithm over CCD and the "triangulation" methods, using different types of cost functions.
Effect of habitat subdivision on the population dynamics of herbivorous and predatory insects in central Chile

Habitat subdivision may facilitate the persistence at low densities of both predator and prey populations. But habitat subdivision may also allow herbivores to escape from predators and therefore reach higher local densities. The outcome will depend on the dispersal behaviour of organisms. The effect of habitat subdivision on populations of aphidophagous coccinellids Eriopis connexa and Hippodamia variegata and their prey Brevicoryne brassicae was evaluated in crops of Brassica o/eraceae. In particular, the following responses were analysed: a) density/plant of herbivorous and predatory insects, b) colonisation of herbivorous and predatory insects, c) movement between plant patches and residence time of predators, d) in situ recruitment of predators, and e) final weight of plants. Nine continuous and subdivided plots of B. oleracea were set up following a 3 x 3 completely randomised block design. The three treatments were: a) continuous, b) subdivided plus weeds, and c) subdivided plus cloth barriers. Density per plant of herbivorous and predatory insects was lower in subdivided plus barriers habitats. Colonisation by herbivores and predators was more rapid in continuous or subdivided plus weeds habitats. Residence time and in situ recruitment of predators was greater in continuous habitats. Plant weight was greater in subdivided than continuous habitats. Therefore, habitat subdivision, particularly when patches were more isolated, negatively affected the population densities of both herbivorous and predatory insects. This is likely due to lesser colonisation and in situ recruitment, and greater emigration of insects in those subdivided habitats.
SOCIAL CAPITAL FRAMEWORK: EXAMINING

The objective of the study is to examine if the framework of Social Capital Theory can be used to predict participation on social media – discussion boards in particular. Social Capital Theory is examined in all dimensions of Social Capital structural, relational and cognitive. The study was conducted amongst users of various discussion boards, drawing on a sample of 576, with the help of a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The results indicated that there was no relationship between the various dimensions of social capital and participation. Contrary to our expectations, trust was not an important factor of relational capital. However norms of reciprocity, number of people, number of posts, norms and shared language were an important constituent of the dimensions of Social Capital
