Consequences of Information Feed Integration on User Engagement and Contribution: A Natural Experiment in an Online Knowledge-Sharing Community

This paper investigates the ramifications of information feed integration on user engagements and contributions in online content-sharing platforms by exploiting a natural experiment occurred in a leading knowledge-sharing platform that integrated informal social posts with professional knowledge content in one feed. Our results show that the juxtaposition of incongruous types of content increased mindset switching and cognitive strain, thus hurting user engagements. We also reveal a novel crowding-out effect, viz., the integration heightened concerns that posting informal social posts would dilute the contributor’s professional image, thus inhibiting user contributions. Our findings hold important practical implications for all platforms that host (or are considering hosting) diverse types of user-generated content (UGC). Additional content curation tools can potentially enhance user engagement and retention, but their effectiveness hinges on a foundational and crucial element—the presentation format of heterogeneous content types. Essentially, the value of curating informal social posts in a knowledge-sharing platform would diminish when those content intrudes upon and conflict with the professional domain. This insight underscores that any UGC platforms, when adopting a diversity-oriented strategy, should pay close attention to heterogeneity between different content types for the purpose of optimizing user experiences and promoting user contributions.
Effects Of Organic Molecule Orientations On Perovskite Structure Of Formamidinium Lead Iodide

Latterly, an emergence of the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites has captivated an increasing rate of world-wide attention due to their approving physical properties. Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPI), a promising compound owing to its high photovoltaic performance, consists of an organic molecule, i.e. the formamidinium (FA) cation, dwelling in the centre of the cubic unit cell, caged by the inorganic framework, PbI6. By adopting the ab initio method based on the density functional theory including the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects, the effects of the FA cation on the cubic FAPI were thoroughly and systematically investigated. Solidly armed with Euler's rotations, energy landscapes responsible for various sets of orientations of the FA cation were evaluated accordingly. From the energy landscapes, the flipping energy barriers are interpreted as thermal agitations needed to flip the FA cation over. The highest energy barrier amongst all those of other orientations is 24.7 meV which is tantamount to T ~ 286 Kthe temperature over which the FA molecules randomly reorient. Moreover, it is found that a relatively lowest energy structure when the FA cation is directed along (90? ,60? , 45? ) direction. Owing to the structural optimisation, the I-Pb-I becomes angled with less than 7? The H-I distances are optimal and confined only in the shells in accordance with the pair distribution function of the optimal configuration. The resulting configuration additionally breaks the inversion symmetry that leads to the Rashba/Dresselhaus effect within the electronic band structure. The largest Rashba splitting parameter determined along the direction in the kspace is around 3.0 for the (90? ,60? , 45? ) configuration.
Free-Space-Optical Quantum Key Distribution Systems: Challenges and Trends

Nowadays, high security levels are required to transmit critical information for government, private and personal sectors. As a countermeasure, the Quantum Key Distribution systems are the best option in order to protect this information because it provides unconditional security. In addition, increasing the transmission distance is a highlight. Therefore, the Free-Space Optical Quantum Key Distribution systems (FSO-QKD) present an innovative way for sharing secure information between two parties located at ground stations, spacecraft or aircraft. However, these scenarios present several challenges regarding the hardware, protocols and techniques used that must be solved in order to enhance the performance parameters (security level, distance link, final secret key rate, among others) for any QKD system; although, in particular, a high transmission performance is required for both the classical and quantum channels. These issues impose the roadmap and trends in the research, academic and manufacturing sectors around the world.
Automatic 3D Hair Model from Small Set of Images

We present a system for creating hair model that matches a user's hairstyle from images. The model consists of guide hair strands and can be used in a real-time hair simulator. Our goal differs from most previous work which aims to create realistic high resolution hair for off-line applications or create mesh of the exterior of the hair volume for image manipulation. Our primary aim is for user to be able to put his/her hairstyle into game or other real-time applications. By taking photos in 8 views of the user's head using a smart phone camera and segmenting images with some easy to use tools, the player will obtain his/her own hair model in NVIDIA's HairWorks, which is a hair simulator used in many games. We show a number of results demonstrating the capabilities of our system in this thesis.
Conodont Biostratigraphy of the Middle Carboniferous System in the Taebaek Area, Kangwondo, Korea

The Middle Carboniferous Manhang and Geumcheon Formations exposed in the Taebaek area, Kangwondo, Korea consist of sandstones and shales with some intercalation of limestone beds. The limestones of the formations contain abundant conodonts and other fossils. The purpose of this study is (1) to investigate the conodont fauna, (2) to assign conodont biozones of the Manhang and Geumcheon Formations, and (3) to refine their geologic age more exactly. The conodonts of the Manhang and Geumcheon Formations are 6 genera distributed into 11 species. Conodonts found from limestones of the Manhang Formation are Idiognathodus delicatus, Hindeodus minutus, Streptognathodus sp. , Diplognathodus coloradoensis, N. bothorops, and N. medexultimus. This conodont fauna can be assigned to the Neognathodus bothrops Zone. This conodont biozone indicates that the geologic age of the Manghang Formation is the Atokan stage of the Middle Carboniferous Period. Conodonts came from limestones of the Geumcheon Formation are Idiognathodus delicatus, N. medexultimus, N. roundyi, N. dilatus, Diplognathodus edentulus, Hindeodus minutus, Streptognathodus elegantulus, and Gondolella bella. These conodonts permit them to be assigned to the Neognathodus roundyi Zone. This Conodont biozone indicates that the geologic age of the Geumcheon Formation is the Desmoinesian stage of the Middle Carboniferous Period.

Interactive and real-time typesetting for demonstration and experimentation: ETAP

We present ETAP , a platform designed to support both demonstration of, and experimentation with digital typesetting, interactively, and in real-time. ETAP provides a GUI which currently focuses on all aspects involved in paragraph formatting. A number of pre-processing features can be switched on or off (hyphenation, kerning, ligaturing, etc. ). A specific paragraph formatting scheme may be selected from a pool of ready-made algorithms, and adding new algorithms to that pool is easy. Each algorithm comes with its own set of configuration parameters, and the GUI allows you to tweak those parameters and observe the effects in real-time. ETAP may also be used without, or in parallel with the GUI . While the application is running, the whole programmatic infrastructure is manipulable from a command-line interface. This allows inspection of the various typesetting objects normally displayed by the GUI , and also to perform computations with them, for example, data collection and statistical measurements.
Minimum principle for the flow of inelastic non-Newtonian fluids in macroscopic heterogeneous porous media

The minimization of dissipation is a general principle in physics. It stipulates that a non-equilibrium system converges toward a state minimizing the energy dissipation. In ﬂuid mechanics, this principle is well known for Newtonian ﬂuids governed by Stokes equation. It can be formulated as follows: among all admissible velocity ﬁelds, the solution of the Stokes equation is the one that minimizes the total viscous dissipation. In this paper, we extend these approaches to non-Newtonian ﬂuids in macroscopic heterogeneous porous media, or fractures. The ﬂow is then governed by a nonlinear Darcy equation that can vary in space. In this case, a minimization principle can still be written depending on the boundary conditions. Moreover, such minimization principle can be derived either for the velocity or pressure ﬁeld.
Intersection and Considerations for Patient-Centered Care, Patient Experience, and Medication Experience in Pharmacogenomics

Modeling and Evaluating Full-Cycle Natural Gait Detection Based on Human Electrostatic Field

Gait analysis is a technique facilitating disease diagnosis, rehabilitation, and mobility assessment. The gait detection approach based on the human electric field is noncontact and portable while providing real-time gait data. This article presents a noncontact gait detection method based on a full-cycle gait characteristic detection model. Based on electrodynamics theory, a complex variable function method evaluating static fields under complex boundary conditions was used, an equivalent plantar capacitance calculation model was proposed, and a full-cycle gait characteristic detection model was established. The simulation results showed that the calculation model greatly improved the plantar capacitance accuracy, and the rationality and validity of the model were qualitatively verified through human electrostatic potential and gait data, so the detection model reflected the time-domain signal and detailed characteristics of the full-cycle gait. VICON was used to acquire the simulated abnormal gait and to verify the correctness of the detection model and system. The clinical gaits of patients with Parkinson’s and hemiplegia were collected to verify the effectiveness of the method to reflect full-cycle time-domain signals and extract abnormal gait information. This study provides a theoretical basis and feasible gait analysis method to obtain full-cycle information about natural gait.
A Diplexer-Like Dual-Band Filtering Power Amplifier With Selectable Frequency Output

This letter presents a novel diplexer-like dual-band filtering (DBF) power amplifier (PA). The PA is mainly composed of a diplexer-like DBF output matching network, which can better separate carriers into two output ports. In addition, the PA also integrates filtering characteristics, achieving better out-of-band and second harmonic suppression. For demonstration, a diplexer-like DBF PA (nonconcurrent) operating at 2.1/3.5 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured small-signal maximum gains <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S_{21}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S_{31}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> in the lower and upper bands are 15.6 and 12.7 dB, respectively, and the isolation <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S_{23}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> between two output ports is lower than −22.2 dB. The suppression levels of one frequency output branch to another frequency band can reach −59.4 and −50.1 dB, respectively, and the second harmonic rejection levels are below −35.3 and −37.9 dB, respectively. The PA achieves the maximum efficiency of 62.4% and 51.2% with an output power of 41.0 and 39.5 dBm at two frequencies. In addition, using a 20-MHz long-term evolution signal with a 7-dB peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and applying the digital predistortion for the designed PA, the adjacent channel power ratios can be improved from −33.0/−27.5 to −52.7/−53.5 dBc at two frequencies.
Does Green Innovation Increase Shareholder Wealth?

Despite the importance of green innovation in climate change adaptation and mitigation, green patent announcements do not have a positive effect on shareholder wealth, regardless of institutional investor ownership or attention, climate risk exposure, or climate change concerns. Also, we find no evidence that the number of green patents obtained by a company affects its environmental score, institutional ownership, or Tobin’s Q. Nor is it a mispricing or a delayed reaction to green patents: portfolio strategies with green patent announcements consistently yield negative alphas. Overall, we find that green patents do not increase shareholder wealth. JEL classifications: O34, Q55, G14, G23
Judiciary as a Bureaucratic Organisation and Its Public Value

In 2021, India fell three positions in the Rule of Law Index released by the World Justice Project (2019). The India Justice Report 2020 shows the pathological disparity in access and administration of justice in India. Why is it that despite decades of judicial reforms, justice delivery in India continues to remain poor? This paper argues that judiciary is looked at and studied from the standpoint of its most visible dimension—judges and their decision-making, rather than the administrative machinery which facilitates this. This has tilted the judicial reforms discourse towards structures and procedures rather than functions and behaviours. Using the Public Value Theory, it is submitted that judiciary needs to be understood as a ‘bureaucratic’ and ‘public’ organisation which is not only tasked with justice delivery but also value creation. This is a novel approach which has not been deployed to study judicial organisations.
Optimal Income Taxation : Mirrlees Meets

What is the optimal shape of the income tax schedule? This paper compares the optimal (Mirrlees) tax and transfer policy to various simple parametric (Ramsey) alternatives. The environment features distinct roles for public and private insurance. In our baseline calibration to the United States, optimal marginal tax rates increase in income, and can be well approximated by a simple two-parameter function. The shape of the optimal schedule is sensitive to the amount of fiscal pressure the government faces to raise revenue. As fiscal pressure increases, the optimal schedule becomes first flatter, and then U-shaped, reconciling various findings in the literature.
Crucial but Neglected: Limited Availability of Animal Welfare Courses in Education of Wildlife Researchers

Simple Summary Safeguarding animal welfare in research is crucial for ethical and legislative compliance as well as the integrity of scientific data. It is, therefore, essential that researchers working with animals across all fields of life sciences have an understanding of how to assess animal welfare, including their behaviour, health, and physiology. This study looked into the education of ecologists, wildlife biologists, and conservation managers in Europe, Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand and found that very few universities offered specific courses on animal welfare, and these courses were often optional rather than required. These results highlight the need for universities to provide more formal and mandatory education on animal welfare to better prepare future researchers studying and managing wildlife. By improving education in this area, we can ensure that researchers have the necessary knowledge and skills to work with wildlife in a responsible and compassionate way. Abstract Animal welfare is a subject of increasing scientific and ethical concern in today’s society, crucial for the well-being of animals used in research and the integrity of scientific data. Equipping researchers in the life science disciplines with a science-based knowledge of animal welfare, behaviour, physiology, and health is, therefore, essential. Nevertheless, previous studies evaluating animal welfare education focused on veterinary, laboratory, or farm animal science. Consequently, the aim of this study was, for the very first time, to map the prevalence of animal welfare courses in the university education of ecologists, wildlife biologists, and conservation managers in Europe, Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. A comprehensive assessment of 1548 universities was conducted, resulting in the identification of 596 relevant programs at the bachelor’s and master’s levels. Analysis of the curricula revealed that only 1% of the programs offered a formal course on animal welfare, while 65% provided courses on animal behaviour, 59% on animal physiology, and 34% on animal health. However, the majority of these courses were listed as electives rather than mandatory components of the programs. These results underscore the need for universities to incorporate more formal and obligatory education in animal welfare in order to better prepare future ecologists, wildlife biologists, and conservation managers for the challenges of working with wildlife.
Lyophilization of Nanoparticles, Does It Really Work? Overview of the Current Status and Challenges

Nanoparticles are being increasingly used as drug delivery systems to enhance the delivery to and uptake by target cells and to reduce off-target toxicity of free drugs. However, although the advantages of nanoparticles as drug carriers are clear, there are still some limitations, especially in maintaining their long-term stability. Lyophilization, also known as freeze-drying, has been heavily investigated as a solution to this problem. This strategy has been shown to be effective in increasing both the long-term stability of nanoparticles and the shelf life of the drug product. However, the process is still in need of improvement in several aspects, such as the process parameters, formulation factors, and characterization techniques. This review summarizes the advantages and limitations of nanoparticles for the treatment of disease, advantages and limitations, and the status of the lyophilization of nanoparticles for therapeutic use and provides insight into both the advantages and the limitations.
MICROCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES ON BOTRYTIS CINEREA: CONTRIBUTION TO IDENTIFICATION OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY METABOLITES

Histochemical techniques comprise several staining methods in microscopy for investigation of chemical groups or pathologies regarding tissues in plants and fungi and have been widely used for detection of groups of substances. Thereby, our work demonstrates the application of histochemical techniques recognized for detection of secondary metabolites in plants to detect substances in the fungus Botrytis cinerea. Our findings are compatible with previous reports on metabolites identified in B. cinerea, and show proteins stored in vesicular structures (0.3-0.9µm), accumulated in small groups inside of developed mycelia, and in large quantity in spores (0.2-0.7µm). Alkaloids were only detected in mycelium containing spores, not influenced by their size. Terpenoids were detected in spores, and with lighter color for mycelia vesicles. However, in younger mycelium we verified terpenoids in storage structures in the mycelia segments, demonstrating higher quantity in early development. The presence of neutral polysaccharides and terpenoids was observed around the mycelia containing younger spores and, in some storage, structures close to the spores. Our results corroborate reports on the presence of substances of the secondary metabolism in B. cinerea and could be utilized in other species of fungi to screen substances of pharmacological and nutraceutical interest.
