The paper seeks to access the utilization of object oriented software testing tools and its ability to improve the efficiency of new software production in Microsoft Corporation. In recent times, new software is becoming increasingly complex with a whole lot of risks associated with failure when being utilized. This has indicated that far greater importance has to be placed on testing to guarantee the software works properly as well as corresponds with the customer requirement. This document looks at software testing of new software being produced in Microsoft Corporation using several software testing tools and techniques that can in turn help improve the efficiency and cogency of the software testing process as well as the quality of new software that are produced in the company. The results show that object oriented software testing tools actually work on the new software produced by Microsoft Corporation. Basic problems that are needed to be addressed when applying various testing tools during testing process demonstrated the need and effectiveness for the utilization of object oriented testing tools. Furthermore, suggestions were made in respect to the necessary refinements to the existing ways in which Microsoft test their new software in respect of getting the best out of the organization.
Relationship between Lifestyle and Mental Health:A Population-Based Survey in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan

The national health promotion in the 21st century (Healthy Japan 21) was introduced in 2000, in order to become a vigorous society in which all citizens can live in good health both physically and mentally. Healthy Japan 21 has nine target areas (nutrition, exercise, leisure and mental health, smoking, alcohol, dental health, diabetes, circulatory disease, cancer). The aim is to extend the disabilities adjusted life expectancy and to improve quality of life. Mental health disorders have recently been recognized as a serious problem in the Japanese population. In industrialized societies, the prevalence of depression or anxiety disorders is associated with unemployment and suicide. Kawakami et al. recently reported a prevalence of common mental disorders in Japan of 8.8% (17% of cases were severe and 47% were moderate) and stated that only 19% of the severe and moderate cases received medical treatment.

Numerical and experimental investigation of a gully under surcharge conditions

This paper deals with numerical and experimental investigation of a gully under exceptional situations after the sewer system becomes pressurized. These results are useful for the calibration and validation of the linking elements found in Dual Drainage (DD) models. The experimental results were obtained in the MLE (Multiple-Linking-Element) experimental installation that allows the simulation of full surcharge flow through a gully. The installation consists of an 8 m long and 0.5 m wide channel, fitted with a 0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3 m gully with a 80 mm diameter pipe inlet at the bottom. The numerical results were obtained using a three-dimensional structured mesh simulated in the OpenFOAMTM Toolbox. The results characterization focuses mainly on the jet area, whereby pressure-flow relations were derived for this specific gully. The good agreement found between numerical and experimental results, allowed the extrapolation to larger flow rates.
Role of SNF5 in rheumatoid arthritis by upregulation ofp16 and inactivation of JNK pathway

This study aims to explore the role and the possible underlying molecular mechanism of SNF5 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MH7A cells were respectively transfected with pc-SNF5 (pcDNA3.1 containing the Brg1 coding sequence), short hairpin RNA against SNF5 (shSNF5), and their negative controls (pcDNA3.1 and shNC). The alterations of SNF5 expression were assessed by qRT-PCR and western blot analysis. MTT assay, flow cytometry, and western blot analysis were performed to evaluate proliferation, apoptosis, and expression levels of p16 and JNK pathway associated proteins, respectively. Finally, the effect of SNF5 was verified in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) obtained from a rat model with adjuvant-induced arthritis. Results showed that the expression of SNF5 was increased in the pc-SNF5 group (P < 0.05) while it was decreased in the shSNF5 group (P < 0.05). Afterwards, cell viability after transfection was reduced by SNF5 overexpression (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, or P < 0.001), whereas it was enhanced by SNF5 knockdown (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). In terms of apoptosis, SNF5 overexpression promoted cell apoptosis (P < 0.01). The western blot analysis showed that the phosphorylated levels of proteins involved in the JNK pathway were downregulated by SNF5 overexpression while they were upregulated by SNF5 knockdown (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, or P < 0.001). However, the effect of SNF5 on the expression of p16 was the opposite. Finally, the effect of SNF5 was validated in murine FLSs. In conclusion, SNF5 suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis of fibroblast-like cells through overexpression of p16 and suppression of the JNK pathway.

Determination and comparison of time under tension required to perform 8, 10 and 12-RM loads in the bench press exercise

Summary Study aim: To determine and compare the time under tension (TUT) required to perform 8, 10 and 12 repetition maximum (RM) loads in the bench press exercise. Material and methods: Twenty men (24.17 ± 4.69 years) were selected intentionally and properly. We included in the study physically active individuals, with a weekly frequency of physical activity of at least two days for six months, and excluded individuals with injury or pain that could interfere with the correct execution of the exercise and individuals with positive PAR-Q. The 10-RM test consisted in performing ten consecutive repetitions with maximum overload and the highest speed in bench press exercise on the Smith machine. After 48 h, 10-RM sets were performed with the load obtained in the 10-RM load testing. The TUT in 10-RM was verified through kinematics using the timing technique of the Kinovea software. Results: The RM loads and TUT obtained during the retest session showed normal distribution between subjects. However, no significant differences were found between the loads 8, 10 and 12-RM within and between subjects (p < 0.05). The verified TUT showed a difference from 8 to 10-RM and from 8 to 12-RM, but no significant difference was found between TUT protocols for 10 and 12-RM (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study results enable evaluation of TUT in bench press exercise on the Smith machine for the study sample, allowing, for this group, the prediction and control of training intensity through the TUT.
A diagnosis of torque reversals in 4U 1626-67

Several X-ray pulsars have been observed to experience torque reversals, which provide important observational clues to the interaction between the neutron star magnetic field and the accretion disk. We review the current models proposed for the torque reversals and discuss their viability based on the observations of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in 4U 1626−67. Most of these models seem to be incompatible with the evolution of the QPO frequencies if they are interpreted in terms of the beat frequency model. We suggest that winds or outflows from the neutron star and the accretion disk may play an important role in accounting for the spin-down in disk-fed neutron stars.
A Longitudinal Study of Children’s Theory of Mind and Drawings of Play

This study investigated the longitudinal relations between theory of mind (ToM) understanding and children’sdrawings of play in 26 school-aged children, (16 females, 10 males, aged 8-12 years). Theory of mind was assessedat Time 1 (T1, M = 8 y 5m) and two years later at Time 2 (T2, M =10 y 4 m), as well as children’s drawings of playactivities. Longitudinally, significant positive associations (p < .05) were found between T1 ToM ability and the T2verbal description of the child’s drawing (r = .38). A significant negative correlation was found between children’sverbal descriptions of their drawings and emotional facial expressions (r = -.44). The majority of the drawingsreflected physical play activities, with physical, competitive activities (e.g., soccer). Implications for socioemotionaland cognitive development in middle childhood are discussed.
Database for Herbaceous Peony Cultivated in Warm Climate Regions: Effects of Temperature on Plant Dormancy and Growth

This article introduces the first database for developmental parameters of the herbaceous peony cultivated in a warm climate region. Data on the effect of temperature during dormancy and growth parameters are presented for 2,232 plants of two commercial cultivars exposed to 14 different temperature regimes: 15-18 dates of dormancy release for each regime and 10 weekly measurements of 6 growth parameters for each plant. Diversity of developmental response was examined with a Tukey test. The efficacy of the database for the regulation of the developmental processes and production ability is demonstrated with numerous examples of estimated growth rate of stems. The sigmoid nature of the growth curves is noted. The database could be used for research on plant physiology of peony and other geophytes, as well as for the prediction of effective commercial flower production. The database is available at http://www.mop-zafon.org. il/files/DB18_Sept_2014. xlsx.

Social interaction design in MMOs

This chapter discusses logics of design implemented within MMO’s to support social interaction. First we try to understand how designers attract players to games that request constant collaboration and cooperation actions to play and progress, and then how do they maintain the interest throughout playing. For the first question we discuss in depth the design for social interdependency, as for the second, we present a study on persuasion techniques used in the design of social game mechanics. We’ve used World of Warcraft as our main case study.
Landscapes of agricultural specialisation : A forgotten theme in historic landscape research and management

Some of the most characteristic landscapes in Europe are the result of specialised types of agriculture. Although these landscapes are often cherished by the local population, they tend to be overlooked by most regional landscape classifications. This article, extending on the results of the EucaLand project, focuses on the historic landscapes of agricultural specialisation. It presents the history (main periods, life cycles) as well as the geography of these landscapes.
Chapter 1 A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE LAST 40 YEARS OF PLANT PATHOLOGY : EMERGING THEMES , PARADIGM SHIFTS AND FUTURE PROMISE

The last 40 years of experimental research have resulted in a remarkable increase in our understanding of plant disease resistance to microbial pathogens, with a recent surge of clarity primarily provided by the application of molecular genetics to pathogen interactions with Arabidopsis thaliana. Research foci have changed over time with the availability of new techniques and the ability to identify genes, proteins, signalling systems and defensive biochemicals involved in plant resistance. In hindsight, early concepts were generally simplistic. Although some have been supported by subsequent data, others, such as the basis for the gene-for-gene phenomenon, have changed dramatically and it is now clear that plant–microbe interactions are sophisticated and complex. Much is left to discover: the role of the hypersensitive response is still enigmatic, the interplay of recognition events and defensive factors that control host or non-host resistance is still not clear and the number of well-studied pathosystems is still few. The future promises more attention to the spatial organisation of disease resistance at the cellular level, and new insights into the evolution of disease resistance and pathogen pathogenicity. Particularly urgent is the need for unequivocal data to prove which plant genes and processes involved in disease resistance are primarily responsible for the restriction of pathogen growth. Disappointingly, our considerable progress in understanding plant–microbe interactions in the last 40 years has not translated into comparable progress in developing novel, widespread and effective methods of disease control in the field, and this remains a significant challenge for the future.
An Overview of Microphysical Processes in Ice Sheets : Toward Nanoglaciology

In recent years, substantia! efforts among icc core researchers have been directed IOward understanding microphysical processes occuning in icc sheets, because they could affect significantly the paleoclimatic and paleoatmospheric signals recorded in icc cores. For example, a very large fractionation of N2 and O2 found in the transition zone from air bubbles to air hydrates was successfully explained in terms of molecular diffusion in icc [1-4]. More recently, we found very many water-soluble micropartic1cs, of which distributions and behavior must be a key to understand the chemical processes in ice sheets [5-9]. In the present poper behaviors of gas molecules and chemical species in ice sheets arc summarized and discussed in the light of recent studies. Moreovcr, thc anisotropic defonllation of icc crystals is taken into consideration in recent rescarch on ice sheet flow dynamics (1 0-13]. Although a very large anisotropy in plasticity of icc was well established in the 1960 's by labomlOry experiments, almost all icc sheet flow models developed so far have assumed isotropic ice because of difficulty in modeling the anisotropic deformation. As you wil! sec in this vol ume, this difficulty can be surmounted by the new models [12, 13]. In the present paper, I wil! discuss the fundamental dislocation processes in icc to bener understand why and how icc defonns in di ITcrent orientations. In order to emphasize Ihe importance of integration of microphysical processes more closely with macroscopic phenomena, I will propose a new phase of glaciological research, designated as nanoglaciology, for further development of the icc core research.
Iron intake and iron deficiency anaemia among young women inKuala Lumpur

Objective: To assess the prevalence of iron deficiency, anaemia and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in women aged 20-40 years and its association with iron intake. Methods: A total of 388 women were recruited from universities and work sites in Kuala Lumpur and its suburbs. The subjects comprised 135 Malays, 130 Chinese and 123 Indians. Dietary intake was estimated using a single 24-hour food recall and a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Haemoglobin (Hb), haematocrit (hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and serum ferritin were determined. Results: The prevalence of anaemia (Hb <12g/dL) was 20.9%, being highest among the Indians (26.4%) and lowest among the Malays (16.4%). About 10.3% of the women showed iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) (Hb <12g/dL + serum ferritin < 15μg/L + MCV <80fl/). The prevalence of IDA was highest in Indians (18.0%) followed by Chinese (9.9%) and Malays (4.3%). The mean (95%CI) intake of total iron was at 14.4 mg/day (95% CI 13.4, 15.5), amounting to 49.7% of the Malaysian recommended nutrient intake (RNI). Intake of iron was the highest for the Indians (16.0 mg/d) and the lowest for the Chinese (11.3 mg/d). Conclusions: The overall prevalence of IDA was lower compared to prevalence of anaemia. Nonetheless, the markedly higher prevalence of IDA among the Indians, despite relatively higher intake levels of iron-rich foods warrants further investigations, including the bioavailability of iron in the context of cultural practices that may influence food preferences and meal preparation.
The Effect of Language on Economic Behavior: Experimental Evidence from Children's Intertemporal Choices

According to Chen's (2013) linguistic-savings hypothesis, languages which grammatically separate the future and the present (like English or Italian) induce less future-oriented behavior than languages in which speakers can refer to the future by using present tense (like German). We complement Chen's approach with experimentally elicited time preference data from a bilingual city in Northern Italy. We find that German-speaking primary school children are about 46% more likely than Italian-speaking children to delay gratification in an intertemporal choice experiment. The difference remains significant in several robustness checks and when controlling for a broad range of factors, including risk attitudes, IQ or family background.
Use of Moringa oleifera (Moringa) Seed Pods and Sclerocarya birrea (Morula) Nut Shells for Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater and Borehole Water

Use of nonedible seed pods of Moringa oleifera (Moringa) tree and nutshells of Sclerocarya birrea (Morula) tree for removal of selected metal ions (lead, cadmium, copper, manganese, iron, zinc, and magnesium) from wastewater and borehole water samples was investigated. Removal parameters such as contact time, pH, temperature, particle size, sorbent dose, and initial metal concentration were optimized. Determination of residual metal ions after employing sorbent was done using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS). Using 200 ng synthetic metal ion mixture in 50 mL of water sample, the optimized parameters for Moringa seed pods were 60 min contact time, 1.0 g of sorbent dose, pH 8, 100 μm sorbent particle size, and extraction temp 35°C. While using Morula nutshells, the optimized conditions were 120 min contact time, 2.0 g sorbent dose, pH 8, 100 μm sorbent particle size, and extraction temp of 35°C. The removal efficiency of acid treated sorbents was compared to that of untreated sorbents and it was found to be higher for acid treated sorbents. These nonedible plant parts for Morula and Moringa plants are proposed as a cheap, simple, and an effective alternative for purification of water contaminated with heavy metals.
