Identifying groups of entrepreneurial activities at universities

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify whether the entrepreneurial activities of universities in the UK can be statistically grouped together. Design/methodology/approach This paper is performing a principal component analysis (PCA) of the 2009/2010 UK Higher Education Business and Community Interaction Survey (HE-BCIS) data for the third stream activities of universities in the UK. Findings The PCA of the 144 included institutions identified four groups of entrepreneurial activities being engaged in by universities in the UK. Three of the four groups were related to spin-offs, labelled as “Staff Spin-off Activity”, “Non-HEI Owned Spin-Off Activity” and “Graduate Start-up Activity”. The remaining factor has been named “University Knowledge Exploitation Activity (UKEA)” and encompasses a wide range of university knowledge creation, exchange and exploitation activities. Research limitations/implications The research indicates, through a ranking system for each university for the various groups of entrepreneurial activities, that universities are often entrepreneurial in just one or two of the groups of entrepreneurial activities identified by the PCA. Identifying what is causing those differences is required to further understand why we see this variation across the HE sector. Originality/value The use of a PCA to identify groups of entrepreneurial activities is a novel approach. Typically studies use a select few indicators, such as spin-offs or patents to analyse the entrepreneurial activities of universities. This study uses PCA to group together statistically related activities which can then be used to identify what is driving these groups of activities in future studies.
EC MODELLING AND ENHANCEMENT SIGNALS IN CFRP INSPECTION

Non Destructive Testing techniques are more and more exploited in order to quickly and cheaply recognize ∞aws into the inspected materials, specially for carbon flber reinforced polymers in recent years. Their production which are widely used both in civil and military applications, is an elaborate process un-free from faults and problems. Problems during the manufacturing, such as plies' overlapping, can cause ∞aws in the resulting material, this way compromising its integrity. Within this framework, this work aims to propose a design of ferrite core probe for eddy current non destructive evaluation, in order to investigate the presence of defects in carbon flber epoxy composite materials. In this context, modelling is a powerful tool for inspection improvements. It helps probe-coil designers to optimize sensors for each examination requirement, providing better understanding of the involved physics, supporting operator training and increasing defect analysis reliability. Particularly, Finite Element based analyzes will be carried out into this path. After this step, in order to improve the quality of simulated measurement, a flltering technique has been exploited in order to improve the accuracy and performance of the ∞aw detection.
Bladder Cancer Markers and Recent Innovations

Bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma) is the most common tumor of the urinary tract. It occurs more frequently among men about 65 years old on average. Two forms of the tumor are known: a non–muscle-invasive one and a muscle-invasive one. The latter turns out to be very aggressive with a survival of 5 years average. The non–muscle-invasive form frequently recurs (60–70%) and in 15% of cases, it progresses into the invasive form. The diagnosis is made mainly by cystoscopy and urine cytology. A high number of researches were dedicated in order to find a simple test using voided urine to frequently monitor possible tumor recurrence. During the last 10 years, many tests were proposed concerning either special proteins of which the most common are the bladder tumor antigen (BTA) and the nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) or the presence of genetic mutations [most frequently, fibroblasts growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) and TP53], alteration of DNA methylation, chromatin structure and, more recently, the presence of specific micro-RNA. Recently the analysis of lipids present in voided urine showed a difference in fatty acids between healthy individuals and those affected by non-invasive forms. These markers appear to have a high specificity and sensitivity: a deepening of these results could lead to the development of a test that avoids invasive treatment and the cost of cystoscopy.
Internet corporate reporting among public listed companies in Malaysia: An exploratory study

This study examines the utilisation of the Internet for disseminating corporate information among 100 top companies listed on Bursa Malaysia in the year 2007. These companies were chosen based on market capitalisation and relied on website observation and content analysis. An Internet disclosure index of 61 content items was categorised into four major groups: accounting and financial information, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility (CSR), contact details of investor relations and related conveniences. In addition, 26 presentation format items categorised into two major groups: technological features and convenience and usability of website navigation support were used as benchmark. The results indicate that the highest disclosure by the companies accrued for accounting and financial information attributes. The lowest disclosures by companies accrued for technology features attributes. The results show that more than 59% of the Malaysian public listed companies published reasonably well-developed Internet-based reporting and achieved a quality score for Internet Corporate Reporting (ICR). On average, the frequency of the identified items disclosed by the companies for the content of the website was higher than for the presentation of information. Among the six categories identified, technological features theme was considered as a critical part that needs attention from the Malaysian companies. The results also show that most companies provided their full annual reports using Portable Document Format (PDF). However, none of the companies adopt Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format. Therefore, Malaysian companies are urged to seize more opportunities provided by the Internet technology in preparing their ICR. Key words: Internet corporate reporting, content, presentation format.
The streaming potential of liquid carbon dioxide in Berea sandstone

We report here, for the first time, evolution of the streaming potential coupling coefficient as liquid carbon dioxide infiltrates Berea sandstone. Using 125 Ω‐m tap water, the coupling coefficient determined before and after each CO2 flood of five samples averaged approximately −30 mV/0.1 MPa. After liquid CO2 passed through the specimens displacing all mobile pore water, trapped water remained and the coupling coefficient was approximately −3 mV/0.1 MPa. A bound water limit of the coupling coefficient for liquid CO2 flow was found using an air‐dried sample to be −0.02 mV/0.1 MPa. For initially water‐saturated samples, bulk resistivity varied during CO2 invasion from 330 Ω‐m, to 150 Ω‐m during CO2/water mixing, to a final value of 380 Ω‐m. Results suggest that trapped and bound water control electrical conduction and the electrokinetic response. Applications include monitoring CO2 injectate in subsurface reservoirs using the self potential method.
The Impact of Mobility on the Performance of AODV and DSR Using NCTUns 6 . 0 Simulator

The Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a multihop infrastructure less wireless network composed of mobile nodes. Routing is the challenging task in MANET because of dynamic topology, absence of centralized control, power constrained nodes, etc. Ad-hoc Ondemand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) are the two popular routing protocols of MANET. The AODV and DSR protocols are analyzed using various simulators like NS2, OPNET, QualNet, OMNet, etc. A little work is done towards the analysis of AODV and DSR using NCTUns 6.0 simulator and one important performance parameter, mobility, is not considered. This paper is a study of mobility impact on the performance of AODV and DSR using NCTUns 6.0 simulator.
A Reactive Search Re-ranking model based on Images of User Interest

The volume and variety of data on web is increasing day by day, which is making the task of search engines difficult. The search engines typically use the text, inlinks and outlink to rank the web pages based on the user query. The techniques of Search Engine Optimisation like keyword stuffing, link farming etc made the least relevant pages to get a good position when ranked by search engines that puts the user in trouble. The user would have to waste their huge amount of time toggling between pages to find the relevant information. This problem can be surmounted by the use of multiple information modalities like images, videos etc along with the text to judge the relevancy of the web page for a user query. The paper explains how the images in the web pages can be used to re-rank them according to user‟s interest. The user would have to provide a user click feedback for each query and the system would re-rank the web pages based on the user click. The method was tested on a set of real time sample queries and a better user satisfaction was achieved.
Oxidative Stability of Ostrich Meat Related to Duration of Linseed and Lucerne Supplementation to the Bird's Diet

Abstract The effect of dietary linseed and lucerne supplementation on the oxidative stability of ostrich meat expressed by changes in concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH), and in activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), was studied. The feeding regimens were as follows: C – control group, L – 4% supplement of linseed, L-L45, L-L55, L-L65, and L-L75 – 4% supplement of linseed and supplement of lucerne added to the birds’ diet at 45, 55, 65, and 75 kg b.w. The highest level of GSH was recorded in L-L65 group, whereas the highest activity of SOD was observed in C, L-L65 and L-L75 groups. Among all groups, the long-term linseed and lucerne supplementation reduced the antioxidant potential of ostrich meat, especially in L-L45 and L-L55 groups, which was reflected in the highest level of MDA and the lowest activity of SOD. Thus, the optimal results after linseed and lucerne supplementation with regard to ostrich meat oxidative stability were reported in groups L-L65 and L-L75, approximately three to four months prior to slaughter.
Microbial protein synthesis and nitrogen metabolism in cows bred on tropical pasture and fed on cassava root and corn

Current experiment evaluated th e effect of replacement of full corn meal by dehydrated ground cassava roots at levels 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% in experimental supplements for lactating cows grazing on irrigated and fertilized tropical pastures. Ten Holstein cows were divided into two 5 x 5 Latin squares, with average initial 150 days of lactation, milk production 22±3.30 kg day -1 at the beginning of experiment and initial body weight of 603±65 kg. Cows were maintained on pasture consisting of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum, Schum) cultivar Pioneiro, intercropped with Tifton 85 (Cynodon nlemfuensis), fertilized with 600 kg nitrogen per hectare year -1 . There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the substitution levels of corn meal by ground and dehydrated cassava root in the concentrate on the synthesis of microbial protein with an estimated average of 1,288.49 g day -1 and efficiency in the synthesis of microbial protein per kilogram of TDN with estimated average of 91.30 g kg -1 TDN. Nitrogen equilibrium showed an estimated average of 218.79 g day -1 of retained nitrogen. The
Isolation and Characterization of Parthenogenetic Embryonic Stem (pES) Cells Containing Genetic Background of the Kunming Mouse Strain

Parthenogenetic embryonic stem (pES) cells could provide a valuable model for research into genomic imprinting and X-linked diseases. In this study, pES cell lines were established from oocytes of hybrid offspring of Kunming and 129/Sv mice, and pluripotency of pES cells was evaluated. The pES cells maintained in the undifferentiated state for more than 50 passages had normal karyotypes with XX sex chromosomes and exhibited high activities of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and telomerase. Meanwhile, these cells expressed ES cell molecular markers SSEA-1, Oct-4, Nanog, and GDF3 but not SSEA-3 detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The pES cells could be differentiated into various types of cells from three germ layers in vitro by analysis of embryoid bodies (EBs) with immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR, and in vivo by observation of pES cell-derived teratoma sections. Therefore, the established pES cell lines contained all features of mouse ES cells. This work provides a new strategy for isolating pES cells from Kunming mice, and the pES cell lines could be applied as the cell model in research into genomic imprinting and epigenetic regulation of Kunming mice.
Identifying the Antecedents for Relationship Quality Model and Its Outcomes for Priority Banking Customers in Indonesia

Indonesian banks have started to focus on finding the right relationship quality model to be applied to their day-to-day operation, particularly for their priority banking customers (PBC) who contribute the most to their profitable growth. This study investigates firstly, whether positive emotional expression (PEE) acts as the antecedent to relationship quality (satisfaction and trust); and secondly, whether relationship quality (RQ) leads to wordof-mouth (WOM) and share-of-purchase (SOP) as its positive outcomes. Results from a survey carried out on 338 priority banking customers in Jakarta, Indonesia found that indeed PEE acts as the antecedent to RQ while RQ is positively linked to the WOM and SOP outcomes. These findings suggest that PEE, WOM, and SOP are variables that must be considered by Indonesian banks when they strategise to enhance the relationship quality of their priority banking customers.
Assisted Diagnosis Research Based on Improved Deep Autoencoder

Deep Autoencoder has the powerful ability to learn features from large number of unlabeled samples and a small number of labeled samples. In this work, we have improved the network structure of the general deep autoencoder and applied it to the disease auxiliary diagnosis. We have achieved a network by entering the specific indicators and predicting whether suffering from liver disease, the network using real physical examination data for training and verification. Compared with the traditional semi-supervised machine learning algorithm, deep autoencoder will get higher accuracy.
Factor structure and Psychometric properties of two short versions of Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale in Romania

The psychometric properties and factor structure of two brief versions of the original Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS-24andFMPS-R) were investigated using a Romanian sample (N=314). Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a four-factor solution for the FMPS-24 and a two-factor solution for the FMPS-R. Although an acceptable fit was found for both scales, the FMPS-R fit indices are slightly higher. Correlation patterns seem to sustain the distinction between functional and dysfunctional perfectionism. The implications of these findings are further discussed.
Dietary conjugated linoleic acid and leucine improve pork intramuscular fat and meat quality

This study investigated which conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and leucine (LEU) ratio optimized the improvement of pork quality when added to finishing pig diets. A total of 120 finishing pigs were randomly assigned to five treatments, including a control diet and a 2 (LEU 1.0 and 2.0%) by 2 (CLA 0.5 and 1.0%) factorial design. The animals had free access to the diets and water. The pigs were slaughtered at 125 kg body weight. Growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, sensory evaluation and serum cholesterol levels were measured. Data for each measured factor were analysed using the GLM procedure in SAS (1996). Analytical results revealed the IMF percentage (1.24, 1.04, 1.66, 2.31 and 1.61% for TRT1 to TRT5, respectively) and tenderness (2.14, 2.27, 2.32, 2.57 and 2.44 for TRT1 to TRT5, respectively) of the loin eye muscle were significantly (P<0.05) improved by the CLA 0.5% combined with LEU 2.0%. Other indicators (such as growth performance, meat quality, carcass measurements and serum cholesterol level) were not affected by the LEU and CLA supplementation.
Study of thyroid profile in malnourished children (6 months - 5 years) admitted in the nutritional rehabilitation centre and paediatric ward NSCB Medical College Jabalpur, India

Globally, PEM continues to be a major health problem in developing countries and the most important risk factor for illnesses and death especially among young children. The WHO estimates that about 60% of all deaths, occurring among children aged less than five years in developing countries, could be attributed directly or indirectly to malnutrition. According to estimates in the world there are about 162 million children suffering from various forms of malnutrition. It is estimated that malnutrition is the primary or associated cause of nearly half of approximately 3 million deaths in children under the age of 5 years. Three-quarters of the world’s stunted children live in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa; India is home to nearly one-third of world’s malnourished children, as per national family health survey-4 (NFHS-4) report prevalence of malnutrition are shown in table. respectively.
Bridging of Digital Gap and E-Inclusion: Case for Chosen EU27 Countries and FY Republic of Macedonia

UDC 004(497.7) Summary Information Communication Technologies (ICT) and Internet have made the communication between businesses, institutions and individuals very fast, simple and without any kind of limits, everywhere, every time, and always. Its conveniences are understood in general from every country and every country gravitates to implement it depends of its economic prospects. In this paper the conception is to consider the approaches and situations for digital inclusion, and efforts for bridging the digital gap in chosen EU27 countries and the FY Republic of Macedonia (FYRM). EU has administered a lot of laws from ICT. FYRM has done similar efforts for higher and faster implementation of ICT. Both of these considered sites in the paper tend to include a parallel attention to interoperability between devices, applications, data repositories, services and networks as a key requisite for taking advantage of the benefits of digital technologies with main goal to restrict digital gap and digital e-inclusion
The Social Sanction of Divorce: Who Ultimately Pay the Social Costs of Its Adverse Effects?

Like marriage, divorce has remarkable effects on individuals, family and society. Marriage performs many basic and social functions whereas divorce involves diverse social impact (both positive and negative) on the divorcees. In Bangladesh, divorce has not received significant attention from the research community yet, though both marriage and divorce are socially sanctioned that recognize the changing patterns of the most important institutions - family and marriage - in the society. In order to explore the adverse effects of divorce, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 2007 over Sylhet district (north-east part of Bangladesh) by applying 'Case Study' as method and 'Interview and observation' as data collection techniques with a sample of twenty divorced women. The study elicited that child marriage still occurs though the rate is not higher than that of before. Polygamy is increasing at high rate resulted from the exercise of modern norms and values, satellite culture, professional and occupational diversity, reconstitution of nuclear family breaking down the joint family, poverty, and the like. Divorce rate is steadily increasing and its social effects are many and multi-facets. Women are the primary victims who carry most of the instantaneous consequences of divorce and ultimately pay most of the costs of its adverse effects.
Improve Teaching Method of Data Mining Course

it is clearly perceived that most of theoretical information we teach to students are lost after graduation, mostly because abstract information do not last in students' minds much longer than the final exams, as they are not related to practical aspects and uses. Though labs are useful, they are not enough as they only offer exercises, but the course benefits will highly increase if students implement theories and exercises on a real life project. Data mining (DM) is one of the core courses which Information Systems students start to use after graduation once they start their career life. This paper focuses on improving the teaching ways of the course we shall implement, in order to attain a better understanding and comprehension by the students to make it more useful in their future real life careers, and it demonstrates the improvements in students' marks average after applying main concepts to real data

Evaluation of ENIGMA’s Lexical Choice Component

ENIGMA is a Natural Language Generation (NLG) system that generates cryptic crossword clues. A key component of the system determines lexical choice decisions, in other words it decides which actual word to use to communicate keyword concepts within the clue. For example if a word is to be used as an anagram in the wordplay puzzle communicated by the clue, then ENIGMA must choose from a list of anagram keywords one that could be meaningfully combined with the anagram in English prose. The experiment described in this technical note was designed to test whether the choices made by this component could pass for fragments of natural language.
APPLICATION OF QUASI-TEM SURFACE IMPEDANCE APPROACH TO CALCULATE INDUCTANCE, RESISTANCE AND CONDUCTOR LOSSES OF MULTICONDUCTOR MICROSTRIP LINE SYSTEM

In this paper a recent new quasi-TEM surface impedance approach has been applied to fast characterization of multiconductor microstrip lines in terms of inductance and resistance matrices and conductor losses. Application examples for frequency-dependent parameters of interconnect circuits with up to five conductors (three-, four-, and five-strips) have been reported. The propagation characteristics and attenuation of multimode symmetrical multiconductor system are obtained. The effectiveness of the applied approach is confirmed by comparison of the computed numerical results with those obtained by full-wave simulators. They are found to be in good agreement.
