HISTORICAL CONSUMPTION AND FUTURE DEMAND FOR FISH AND FISHERY PRODUCTS : EXPLORATORY CALCULATIONS FOR THE YEARS 2015 / 2030

Dr Ye’s study provides an estimate of global demand for fish as food in the years 2015 and 2030. Global demand is obtained by adding estimates made for 17 groups of countries. After a review of consumption during the last 35 years, Dr Ye projects demand using observed statistical relationships between per caput consumption (live weight equivalent) and per caput GDP, a choice dictated by the paucity of historical data on price. For regions where a relationship (established through regression analysis) between observed per caput consumption and per caput GDP does not have statistical significance, or leads to clearly unrealistic results, a time trend regression was used. The author presents his results grouping the 17-country groups into six continents. He ends by discussing the significance of his findings, stressing that they represent potential demand; actual demand will be determined by the supply response to prices. _____________________________________________________________________ The FAO Fisheries Circular is a vehicle for distribution of short or ephemeral notes, lists, etc., including provisional versions of documents to be issued later in other series.
Transformation of audiological characteristics of neonatal otitis media with effusion in 7-month-olds

This study sought to characterize the audiological features of neonatal otitis media (OME) in 1to 7-monthold subjects. Evaluation of 184 ears which failed universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) were referred to the distortion product optoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) test and had flattened non-peak type of 1-KHz tympanogram at 1-3 months age. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests were also performed. The DPOAE, tympanometry, and ABR tests were repeated at 5-7 months of age. Tests from 1-3 to 5-7 months of age produced the following results: For the 1-KHz tympanogram, a complete recovery to a normal type A was observed for 73 ears (39.7%), 21 ears (11.4%) improved to a type C, 36 ears (19.6%) were observed to be fluctuating non-peak, and 54 ears (29.3%) remained flattened non-peak type. For the DPOAE test, 90 ears (48.9%) eventually passed the test, and 94 ears (51.1%) were referred. For the ABR test, the average threshold improved to 28.12 ± 14.59 dB nHL from 44.84 ± 10.67 dB nHL. In addition, the thresholds of 126 ears (68.5%) were 30 dB nHL or less. We conclude that OME in infants can greatly improve before 7 months of age with the development of the anatomical structure of the middle ear.
COMBINING SOCIAL MEDIA AND AUTHORITATIVE DATA FOR CRISIS MAPPING: A CASE STUDY OF A WILDFIRE REACHING CROATIAN CITY OF SPLIT

Abstract. Due to climate changes, wildfire breakouts get more frequent and difficult to control. In the mid-July 2017, the wildfire spread from wildland to the city of Split, the second-largest city in Croatia. This unpredictable spread almost caused the collapse of emergency response systems. Fortunately, a greater tragedy was avoided with the composure of the responsible services and the help of the citizens. The citizens helped in extinguishing the fire and timely provided the significant amount of disaster-related information on different platforms and through social media. In this paper, we address the problem of identifying useful Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and georeferenced social media, for improving situation awareness while the wildfire was reaching the Croatian city of Split. Additionally, we combine social media with other external data sources (e. g. Sentinel-2 satellite images) and authoritative data (e.g. Croatian National Protection and Rescue Directorate official data and Public Fire Department of Split data) to establish the geographical relations between the wildfire phenomena and social media messages. In this manner, we seek to leverage the existing knowledge and data about the spatiotemporal characteristics of the Split wildfire in order to improve the identification of useful information from georeferenced social media with other integrated data sources that can be valuable for improving situation awareness in wildfire events.
Index Measurement and Influencing Factor Analysis of China's Financial Innovation Structure

Since the reform and opening up in 1978, China has basically established a financial system that has adapted to the requirements of the market economy after several stages of financial innovation. Based on financial innovation events in China from 1979 to 2015, this paper compiles the structural index of China's financial innovation, and analyses the evolution trends and influencing factors of China's financial innovation structure. The index reflects the increasingly complexity and maturity of the overall structure of financial innovation since the reform and opening up, while the cumulative contribution of the six innovative forms to the changes in innovation structure has become more consistent and stable. The empirical analysis shows that the exploration of financial innovation is the continuous driving force to promote the change of financial innovation structure in China. What’s more, major reform decisions, opening to the outside world, as well as scientific and technological progress promote the structural change of China's financial innovation, while the financial crisis inhibits the structural change of China's financial innovation. The policy implication of this paper is that China needs to deepen reform, create a more suitable environment for endogenous financial innovation, carry out more original financial innovation, focus on promoting system, management and technology innovation, and pay attention to the selection of opportunity and window period of innovation.
The mystery of Mystriosaurus: redescribing the poorly known Early Jurassic teleosauroid thalattosuchians Mystriosaurus laurillardi and Steneosaurus brevior

Abel, P. 2019. The mystery of Mystriosaurus : Redescribing the poorly known Early Jurassic teleosauroid thalattosuchians Mystriosaurus laurillardi and Steneosaurus brevior . Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (3): 565–579. The genus Mystriosaurus , established by Kaup in 1834, was one of the first thalattosuchian genera to be named. The holotype, an incomplete skull from the lower Toarcian Posidonienschiefer Formation of Altdorf (Bavaria, southern Germany), is poorly known with a convoluted taxonomic history. For the past 60 years, Mystriosaurus has been considered a subjective junior synonym of Steneosaurus . However, our reassessment of the Mystriosaurus laurillardi holotype demonstrates that it is a distinct and valid taxon. Moreover, we find the holotype of “ Steneosaurus ” brevior , an almost complete skull from the lower Toarcian Whitby Mudstone Formation of Whitby (Yorkshire, UK), to be a subjective junior synonym of M. laurillardi . Mystriosaurus is diagnosed in having: a heavily and extensively ornamented skull; large and numerous neurovascular foramina on the premaxillae, maxillae and dentaries; anteriorly oriented external nares; and four teeth per premaxilla. Our phylogenetic analyses reveal M. laurillardi to be distantly related to Steneosaurus bollensis , supporting our contention that they are different taxa. Interestingly, our analyses hint that Mystriosaurus may be more closely related to the Chinese teleosauroid (previously known as Peipehsuchus ) than any European form.
2 Overview of adjectives in Lubukusu

The lexical category of adjectives is proposed to be universal, but its realization varies across languages. In languages such as English, there is a clearly distinct category of adjectives. But in other languages the category of adjectives is not entirely distinct morphologically and syntactically from nouns and verbs. In this paper I show that there is a striking resemblance between adjectives and nouns in Lubukusu. In addition, stage-level predicate meanings are expressed by use of verbs rather than adjectives. Because of these facts, it is tempting to adopt an analysis that reduces Lubukusu adjectives to either nouns or verbs. However, I argue that there is not sufficient evidence to support such an analysis. Lubukusu has true adjectives in spite of the associated nominal and verbal characteristics. A verbal characteristic such as expressing adjectival meanings by use verbs is similar to languages such Mohawk and Vaeakau-Taumako. But there are significant differences between these languages and Lubukusu with regards to this verbal characteristic.
Epistemological Challenges Presented by Health-Related Fields

Some psychiatrists anticipate a revolution in psychiatric nosology, on the basis of emerging data from genetics and genomics. There are, however, good empirical and conceptual reasons to resist any such revolution. Basing an understanding of psychiatric entities on one of multiple biological (not to mention sociocultural and psychological) considerations is a specious method of approaching the project of psychiatric taxonomy. A classifi cation system that lacks suffi cient consensus on the phenomenology of those classifi ed cannot be adequately buttressed by exclusively genetic accounts. This paper advocates a more diversely informed nosology that, in turn, fosters attention to broader diagnostic considerations. We explore more plausible ways in which genetics and genomics, in conjunction with neuroscience and other biological disciplines, can help to shape diagnostic classifi cation in psychiatry. There are, of course, differing views on the degree of prominence that genetics should take in psychiatric diagnosis and classifi cation. We outline these accounts in illustration of this continuum. Drawing on Wimsatt’s work on robustness analysis, we dismiss optimistic scenarios about the potential nosological advantages of psychiatric genetics Published online: August 31, 2005 Dr. Jason Scott Robert Center for Biology and Society, School of Life Sciences Arizona State University, PO Box 874701 Tempe, AZ 85287-4701 (USA) Tel. +1 480 727 8857, Fax +1 480 965 8330, E-Mail jason.robert@asu.edu © 2005 S.

APICAL VOWEL IN JIXI-HUI CHINESE: AN ARTICULATORY STUDY

In this study, we analyze mid-sagittal and coronal ultrasound data from four subjects in order to investigate the articulatory properties of the apical vowel /z/ in Jixi-Hui Chinese (JHC). We seek to determine whether this unique segment, particularly well studied in Standard Chinese (SC), has articulatory characteristics of a vowel or a fricative consonant. Mid-sagittal ultrasound data show that it displays the same tongue shape as consonant [s] and may have a slightly higher tongue tip, which could explain the presence of abundant frication noise. The raising of the tongue dorsum, already observed in SC, varies in JHC across speakers. Coronal ultrasound data show that the tongue is medial-grooved and has an increased grooving corresponding to the decreased frication noise and the appearance of clear formant structure near its offset. These findings are discussed in light of the behavior of this segment within the phonological system of JHC.
Perceptual assimilation of English dental fricatives by native speakers of European French

The phonetic characteristics of French-accented speech suggest that French native speakers often have difficulty producing dental fricatives in English. However, there is a surprising lack of empirical research on perception of those consonants. Canadian French speakers appear to assimilate /θ/ to /t/ and /ð/ to /d/, but loanword evidence suggests that European French speakers should assimilate them to /s/ and /z/, respectively. To test this, 151 native European French listeners categorised and rated the goodness-of-fit of English /θ, f, s, t, ð, v, z, d/ to French phonological categories. /θ/ was categorised as /f/, whereas /ð/ was uncategorised, with responses divided between /v/ and /z/. The remaining consonants were categorised as their corresponding French categories, with /θ/ rated as a poorer French /f/ than /f/. While the majority of individual participants categorised the dental fricatives as /f, v/, there were small subsets of participants who categorised them as /s, z/.
The evolution in ceramic implantology : A review of the literature and report of two cases with two-piece zirconia implants

3 researchers to investigate its possible use as a material for endosseous implants. Zirconia implants have enabled modern implantology to overcome the limitations of titanium, which are not just in terms of restoration, such as the anterior quadrant in patients with thin gingival biotype, but also in terms of immunological response to the implant material. It has been established that and according to the Gell and Coombs classification, type IV immunological reactions can occur following placement and/or restoration when using titanium and titanium alloys. These reactions result in sensitization and proliferation of a population of reactive T-lymphocytes followed by an inflammatory cascade which leads to clinical symptoms and even peri-implant tissue loss. This kind of situation is difficult to ascertain diagnostically because of the unreliability and inaccuracy of skin patch tests (2). The literature indicates the presence of a demonstrable immunological reactivity in about 5% of patients with titanium implants. Using more Introduction The search for biocompatible materials as an alternative to titanium for dental implants has led dentistry to the use of innovative materials that can overcome some of the issues observed with titanium. Additionally, the increasing aesthetic demands from patients, particularly for their anterior teeth, shows that failing to achieve a highly aesthetic restoration ultimately means an overall unsuccessful result, despite having functional success (1). Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) was one of the first ceramic materials used for implants. However, it was quickly abandoned because, although it achieved good osseointegration, in the longer term its mechanical properties proved insufficiently resilient to mastication and function. As a result ceramic implants lost their appeal and eventually manufacturers withdrew them from the market. The arrival of zirconia a material with good mechanical properties, high biocompatibility and with excellent aesthetic result encouraged The evolution in ceramic implantology: A review of the literature and report of two cases with two-piece zirconia implants
ICCS 2013-” Computation at the Frontiers of Science ” Estimation of Volume Rendering E ffi ciency with GPU in a Parallel Distributed Environment

Visualization methods of medical imagery based on volumetric data constitute a fundamental tool for medical diagnosis, training and pre-surgical planning. Often, large volume sizes and/or the complexity of the required computations present serious obstacles for reaching higher levels of realism and real-time performance. Performance and efficiency are two critical aspects in traditional algorithms based on complex lighting models. To overcome these problems, a volume rendering algorithm, PD-Render intra for individual networked nodes in a parallel distributed architecture with a single GPU per node is presented in this paper. The implemented algorithm is able to achieve photorealistic rendering as well as a high signal-tonoise ratio at interactive frame rates. Experiments show excellent results in terms of efficiency and performance for rendering medical volumes in real time. c © 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The JAIST-UET-MITI machine translation systems for IWSLT 2015

This paper describes the submission of the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and the University of Engineering and Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi for the machine translation track of the IWSLT 2015 workshop. We participated in the shared task for the language pair: English-Vietnamese. First, we investigate and apply some approaches and techniques including phrase-based, syntax-based and domain adaptation for the TED talks domain. Then, we observe and evaluate experimental results of these systems on the development sets to setup the best configurations. Experimental results show that the phrase-based systems obtain the best performance on this domain in comparison with the other applied approaches.
Outlook on Composite Type Labels in User-Defined Type Systems

This paper describes an envisioned implementation of user-defined type systems that relies on a feature we call composite type labels for type-checking. Desiging a type system is a complex task, and while some user-defined type systems exist to address the need for use-case specific types, those systems usually have a high level of verbosity and compromise on expressiveness to ensure safety. Our preliminary approach addresses these problems through automating the instantiation of additional type labels, the derivation of implicit conversion rules and the resolution of ambiguities during type-cheking as necessary. To achieve that we rely on composite type labels, that are defined by composition rules. We first begin by identifying some key problems with current approaches, after which we demonstrate how our planned system solves them.
The conserved Fanconi anemia nuclease Fan 1 and the SUMO E 3 ligase Pli 1 act in two novel Pso 2 independent pathways of DNA interstrand crosslink repair in yeast

DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) represent a physical barrier to the progression of cellular machinery involved in DNA metabolism. Thus, this type of adduct represents a serious threat to genomic stability and as such, several DNA repair pathways have evolved in both higher and lower eukaryotes to identify this type of damage and restore the integrity of the genetic material. Human cells possess a specialized ICLrepair system, the Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway. Conversely yeasts rely on the concerted action of several DNA repair systems. Recent work in higher eukaryotes identified and characterized a novel conserved CL enetic screen ynthetic array
CREATIVE CONNECTIVITY PROJECT – A NETWORK BASED APPROACH TO UNDERSTAND CORRELATIONS BETWEEN INTERDISCIPLINARY GROUP DYNAMICS AND CREATIVE PERFORMANCE

Creativity, technology and innovation are the main driving forces of our modern world and they often trigger behavioural and cultural changes in our societies. Several studies on creative collaborations emphasise the interconnection between the creation of innovation and interdisciplinarity as they both focus on the exploration of complex matters. Studying the interdisciplinary processes through which innovation is generated is thus of fundamental importance. This research investigates the intrinsic correlation between group dynamics in interdisciplinary teams and creative processes. It explores how high-risk strategies, conflict and acceptance of failure, can finally shape different level of originality and innovation of the final outputs. This is an attempt to identify meaningful behavioural patterns in relation to specific phases of a creative process. Creative Connectivity is a collaborative research project between the Institution 1, the Institution 2 and the Institution 3. The project research has its origins in the philosophy of the Omitted for review programme, which has long been based on the relation between interdisciplinarity and innovation. Taking that programme as a case study, the research addresses the need to develop a more rigorous understanding of the creation of innovation fostered by diversity and a risk-taking culture. A novel approach combining data science and network theory has been developed to monitor, quantify and analyse specific dynamics of interdisciplinary groups of students of the Omitted for review programme. More specifically the project was based on the acquisition of multiple-source data by a web application allowing the authors to send/notify students with questionnaires and retrieve information from a slack as well, and on the analysis of the obtained data in the forms of networks by using cutting-edge methods of network science, such as multilayer networks and temporal networks. The main and novel focus was to investigate the network contribution to the performance of a team in an environment that is naturally interdisciplinary by using data respectively from a bespoke developed web application and conversation activity monitoring devices. Initial findings have shown the potential of this approach to unveil the hidden mechanisms behind creativity and the production of innovation, and the contributions of interdisciplinarity. The results of this research can be useful to universities, research centers, start-ups incubators, and policymakers who want to foster creativity and trigger innovative processes.
Predicative factors for Pegylated interferon-α plus ribavirin combination therapy in Egyptian patients with chronic Hepatitis Cinfected with genotype 4

Background :Hepatitis C virus genotype 4 is a common infection in Egypt and is the leading cause of liver disease. Most reports suggest that predicative factors for the efficacy of interferon α and ribavirincombination therapy for chronic hepatitis patients could be due to the mutations in the interferon sensitivity determining region. Aim :The present study aimed to investigate the predictive factors for combined pegylated interferon-αand ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis patients with HCV genotype 4. Methods :The study was carried out on forty patients with genotype 4 chronic hepatitis C receiving a weekly dose of 180 μg of PEG -IFN-α in combination with RBV for 48 weeks.HCV RNA serumviremialevels were determined by a real–time polymerase chain reaction. The RNA samples were genotyped using specific primers for HCV genotype 4, and the interferon sensitivity determining region was amplified using polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. The amino acid sequence of the ISDR was compared with the published sequence for HCV 4 (GenBank: ABD75831.1). Results : Our datarevealed that twenty one patients were responders (R; 52.2%), whereas 19 patients showed no-response (NR; 47.5%) to the combined pegylated interferon–α plus ribavirintherapy. The values of RNA titer in both responder and non-responder groups were statistically significantand could be used a predictive factor for combined pegylated interferon –α plus ribavirin efficacy. Other factors, such as gender, age, and interferon sensitivity determining region subtype were not related to its efficacy. Conclusion: These data collectively suggest that HCV RNA titer is an important factor for predicting the efficacy of pegylated interferon –α plus ribavirin combination therapy in Egyptian patients with chronic HCV genotype 4.
