Force Dynamics and Stationkeeping Costs for Multiline Anchor Systems in Floating Wind Farms With Different Spatial Parameters

While the offshore wind industry has shown a steady trend towards floating turbines, costs of these systems remain high. A multiline anchor concept may significantly reduce the high cost of floating wind, in which floating turbines share anchors. This work investigates the potential cost benefit of implementing a multiline anchor system relative to the conventional single-line anchor system over a range of spatial parameters. The OC4 DeepCwind semisubmersible platform is used to design catenary mooring systems for different water depths and turbine spacings. In all cases, the maximum anchor force in the 3-line anchor system is less than or equal to that of the single-line anchor system. Cost models for the mooring lines, anchors, installation and geotechnical site investigation are presented and discussed. In a 100-turbine farm, the multiline anchor system results in a 9–19% reduction in stationkeeping costs, with high and low estimates for the cost models additionally included. Larger reductions in the combined line and anchor cost result from mooring system configurations with smaller ratios of water depth to turbine spacing. Due to perimeter effects in the multiline configuration, larger cost reductions can be achieved for larger farm sizes.
Depression as a Risk Factor for Relapse After Inpatient Opioid Detoxification: 1-Year Follow-Up Study

Background: Opioid dependence is a complicated disorder in which multiple factors interact to inﬂuence initiation of use, re-peated use, addiction, and relapse. Negative emotional states, such as anger, anxiety, depression, frustration, and boredom are also associated with the highest rate of relapse Objectives: Theresearchersof thecurrentstudyproposethatdepressionisasigniﬁcantriskfactorforrelapseafterinpatientdetox-iﬁcation,forwhichtheyconductedthis1-yearfollowupstudytocomparerelapsedwithnon-relapsedpatientgroupwithrespectto their depressive symptoms.

Peers matter: The moderating role of social influence on information security policy compliance

Information security in an organization largely depends on employee compliance with information security policy (ISP). Previous studies have mainly explored the effects of command-and-control and self-regulatory approaches on employee ISP compliance. However, how social influence at both individual and organizational levels impacts the effectiveness of these two approaches has not been adequately explored. This study proposes a social contingency model in which a rules-oriented ethical climate (employee perception of a rulesadherence environment) at the organizational level and susceptibility to interpersonal influence (employees observing common practices via peer interactions) at the individual level interact with both command-and-control and self-regulatory approaches to affect ISP compliance. Using employee survey data, we found that these two social influence factors weaken the effects of both command-and-control and self-regulatory approaches on ISP compliance. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
Therapist Attachment and Meaning-Making in Adolescent Residential Treatment

This qualitative study explores therapist views of the therapeutic relationship in adolescent residential treatment from an attachment perspective. The therapeutic relationship is a strong predictor of outcomes in adult psychotherapy and a significant body of research has relied on the attachment literature to understand its importance. Research yields comparable results when examining the significance of the therapeutic relationship with children and adolescents; however, there is virtually no literature exploring it from the attachment lens. This is particularly notable for children and adolescents in residential treatment. As treatment intensity increases from outpatient to inpatient to residential, challenges and opportunities within the therapeutic relationship increase, too: therapists form uniquely intense and intimate connections with children and adolescents they may see every day. This study employed constructivist grounded theory data analysis of semi-structured interviews with residential therapists exploring their views of the role of attachment in the therapeutic relationship with their adolescent clients. Key findings include role differences in therapists in adolescent residential treatment; the importance of affect management, attunement, and self-awareness within the therapeutic relationship in adolescent residential treatment; the healing nature of relationship, connection, and feelings of safety with adolescents in residential treatment; and the concept of attachment as fundamental in adolescent residential treatment. Implications for practice and training, limitations, and suggestions for future inquiry are also discussed.
Carcinoma adenoquístico de las glándulas salivales

Background: adenoid cystic carcinoma is the most frequent malignant tumor of submaxillary and minor salivary glands. Despite its slow growth, it shows an unfavorable prognosis because of its distant dissemination. Objective: to analyse our series of patients in relation to the literature. Materials and methods: 44 patients with mean age 52.47 years female gender. Of them, 61.3% were of minor salivary glands, 20.4% of submaxillary gland, and 18.2% the parotid gland. All patients underwent complete resection of the tumor followed by neck dissection in 34%. Co60 radiotherapy was administered to 43.2%. Mean follow up was 52.5 (range, 1-120) months. Results: 5-year recurrence rate was 36.8%. At 5 and 10 years, overall survival was 60 and 36%,respectively. Close surgical margins, requirement of adjuvant radiotherapy and stage significantly affected survival rate. The multivariate analysis showed that close margins was statistically significant for survival and associated with an unfavorable tendency for disease-free interval. Conclusions: extention of surgery to the neck and adyuvant radiotherapy was dependent of stage, clear surgical margins, neural invasion, positive nodes in the neck and hystological subtype.

Assessing the Effects of Digital Technologies on Learning Behavior and Reading Motivation Among Moroccan EFL University Students

The introduction of digital technologies and the emergence of electronic reading devices have expanded the concept of literacy and shaped how readers consume information from texts, as well as how they perceive and interact with digital materials vs. print materials in academic settings. Several years ago, reading was merely a characteristic of print. However, with today's advances in technology, the vast majority of people are reading blogs, journals, newspapers, and other materials on digital screens. This study reports the findings of a survey on the effects of digital technologies on learning behavior and reading motivation among Moroccan EFL university students. Results showed that the majority of students reported using digital materials for studying, research, and recreational purposes. The majority of students also reported using desktop/laptop computers or smartphones to access digital materials and claimed that they frequently consult PDF documents and Google books for coursework materials. Additional findings suggest that print reading is favored when the reading task includes lengthy texts and demands more learning engagement activities such as highlighting and notetaking; and that digital reading is preferred when the reading task demands less effortful engagement activities, and includes short texts and accessible materials via the Internet at a preferential cost. Students reported that their motivation to read online is driven by the need to keep up with recent information as well as the need to use usability features embedded with e-texts such as the ‘Find' function and built-in annotation tools. A great number of students rated their overall online reading experience as satisfactory or enjoyable. In contrast, students reported that eyestrain, discomfort with online reading, as well as the credibility and quality of texts encountered online are major challenges and barriers to digital reading. Results revealed that students' satisfaction with online reading is positively correlated with the frequency of using digital texts. Additional implications and directions for future research are considered.
Establishment and application of bladder cancer patient-derived xenografts as a novel preclinical platform

The prognosis and treatment of bladder cancer have hardly improved in the last 20 years, with the exception of immunotherapy using a PD-1/PD-L1 blocker, which was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2016. Hence, bladder cancer remains a debilitating and often fatal disease, and among one of the costliest cancers to treat. Preclinical models that are more representative of human cancer are urgently needed to improve our understanding of bladder cancer progression, as well as advance its diagnosis and treatment. Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), involving the transfer of tumor fragments from individual patients into immunocompromised animals such as severe combined immunodeficient or nude mice, have been developed and utilized as a preclinical model of bladder cancer. PDX models recapitulating clinical behavior, including the drug response of several cancers, have demonstrated high predictive capacity to test standard chemotherapy regimens and to identify tumor types that might benefit from new treatments in clinical trials. However, current PDX models have limitations to their translation into current clinical trials including PD-1/PD-L1-related trials and personalized medicine. This review focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of PDX models in drug development, their application in bladder cancer, and future directions of PDX models.

The utilization of learning analytics to develop student engagement model in learning management system

Learning Analytics (LA) is evolving learning into a new era of analyzing student’s participation and engagement in order to gain some insights. The implementation of LA in a university helps the administration and faculty associates to observe the progress of the students alongside their rate of success. The purpose of this study is to develop a student’s engagement model for holistic involvement in the Learning Management System (LMS). The model was developed from an initial model that was derived from the review of literature and existing model of engagement in LMS. The data were collected from the online learning management system of one public University in Malaysia. From the data analysis, it was found that the strong engagement and interaction between the students, lecturers and the content in LMS, led to boost up the usage of the LMS as long as the student participation in the learning environment is accepted, which in return prepared the students to be evaluated anytime. The model that will be developed from this study can help increase the interaction and engagement between lecturers and students in LMS. Unlike the engagement of students in higher education LMS, which has been discussed already in the literature, this research integrated the role of trace data in shaping the learning environment communication and participation of the users.
Oligo(ethylene glycol) as side chains of conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications

Solution processable conjugated polymers are always composed of a rigid polymer backbone and flexible side chains. The typical side chains of conjugated polymers are alkyl chains, which are hydrophobic. Oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) chains, which are hydrophilic, have also been widely used as side chains of conjugated polymers. Compared with alkyl chains, OEG chains possess some characteristics, such as hydrophilicity, high polarity, high flexibility and ionic conductivity. As a result, OEG chains greatly affect the opto-electronic properties, molecular stacking behaviors in thin films, and opto-electronic device performance of the resulting conjugated polymers. Conjugated polymers bearing OEG side chains can not only show improved opto-electronic device performance, but also enable new opto-electronic device applications. In this review, using several typical examples, we summarize conjugated polymers bearing OEG side chains for optoelectronic applications.
A novel framework of web-based information system for determining the necessity of faculty members: An university perspective

Organizations develop information systems to meet significant business objectives, such as improving competitiveness, increasing productivity and efficiency, accelerating growth, supporting innovation, and reducing costs. In this paper, a novel framework that is designed and can be used at Shaqra University in order to determine the necessity of faculty members in this university is proposed. This web-based system could provide various information and details about the faculty members, their teaching hours, and also the information about majors in which the faculty members are teaching. The main objective of the proposed system is to decrease the cost and help the higher-level managers to make decisions and also to reduce the time and effort exerted to determine the needs of Shaqra University. The primary purpose of this work is to describe the benefits of the system. It highlights the problems and reasons for developing and adopting the policy. The idea about the proposed framework is explained by an analysis that uses an acceptance model to assure the adaptability of the proposed system in Shaqra University.

Teacher Leadership: The Missing Factor in America’s Classrooms

Abstract Few will argue that great schools are the by-products of great teachers. What is less obvious to most people is that the best teachers do not manage their students, they lead them. Far too often, teachers are characterized as managers, which explains our educational system’s focus on classroom management, rather than leadership skills. Improving our nation’s educational system depends, in large part, on demonstrating to our teachers that students, at all levels of education, respond best to leadership. The most effective teachers are transformational, authentic, and servant leaders.
Combination of clozapine with an atypical antipsychotic: a meta-analysis

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the efficacy of atypical antipsychotics in combination with clozapine. Previous meta-analyses have assessed the use of both typical and atypical antipsychotics in combination with clozapine, combination treatment being withheld only for those patients deemed treatment resistant. Design/methodology/approach Outcomes assessed included: positive, negative and overall symptom score. The total numbers of participants (n=588) were scored using the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale/the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and effect sizes were used to judge the efficacy of the combination treatments. Data gained from the ten randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trials were analysed using the R statistical software. Findings The effect sizes gained from analysis showed a small benefit of combination therapy over clozapine monotherapy. Therefore, it is the recommendation of this analysis that alternative avenues be sought in order to treat patients who have a sub-optimal response to clozapine with a combination other than two second generation antipsychotics. Research limitations/implications The initial trials search unveiled 1,412 studies. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, ten trials were used in this meta-analysis. Practical implications The recommendation of this analysis that alternative medications be sought in order to treat patients who have a sub-optimal response to clozapine with a combination other than two second generation antipsychotics. This route should only be used once all other treatment options have been exhausted. Originality/value This meta-analytical study looks specifically at the combination of atypical antipsychotics with clozapine in comparison to clozapine monotherapy. This work extends existing meta-analysis by incorporating data from more recent trials.
Effect of MDV3100, an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor, on tumor growth of estrogen and androgen receptor-positive (ER+/AR+) breast cancer xenografts.

564 Background: The androgen receptor (AR) is detected by immunohistochemistry in approximately 75% of all invasive breast cancer; with ~88% of ER+ tumors expressing AR. Potent inhibition of AR activity could be a therapeutic strategy in ER+/AR+ breast cancer. MDV3100 is an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI), which inhibits AR activity via three mechanisms: inhibition of androgen binding to AR, inhibition of AR nuclear translocation, and inhibition of nuclear AR-DNA binding. MDV3100 has demonstrated an overall survival benefit in men with post-docetaxel prostate cancer. Methods: Two ER+/AR+ breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and BCK4 (recently derived from a pleurocentesis), were used to assess the proliferative effect of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol (E2). The efficacy of MDV3100 at blocking DHT-mediated proliferation was compared to bicalutamide in ER+/AR+ breast cancer cells. MCF7 xenograft studies were performed to determine if MDV3100 can affect DHT or E2 mediated proliferation in viv.
Theoretical Foundations of Noise Interferometry

The retrieval of a deterministic signal from recordings of a quasi-random ambient seismic ﬁeld is the central goal of noise interferometry. It is the foundation of numerous applications ranging from noise source imaging to seismic tomography and time-lapse monitoring. In this chapter, we offer a presentation of theoretical approaches to noise interferometry, complemented by a critical discussion of their respective advantages and drawbacks. The focus of this chapter is on interstation noise correlations that approximate the Green’s function between two receivers. We explain in detail the most common mathematical models for Green’s function retrieval by correlation, including normal-mode summation, plane-wave decomposition, and representation theorems. While the simplicity of this concept is largely responsible for its remarkable success, each of these approaches rests on different but related assumptions such as waveﬁeld equipartitioning or a homogeneous distribution of noise sources. Failure to meet these conditions on Earth may lead to biases in traveltimes, amplitudes, or waveforms in general, thereby limiting the accuracy of the method. In contrast to this well-established method, interferometry without Green’s functional retrieval does not suffer from restrictive conditions on waveﬁeld equipartitioning. The basic concept is to model the interstation correlation directly for a given power-spectral density distribution of noise sources and for a suitable model of the Earth that may be attenuating, heterogeneous, and anisotropic. This approach leads to a coupled problem where both structure and sources affect data, much like in earthquake tomography. Observable variations of the correlation function are linked to variations in Earth structure and noise sources via ﬁnite-frequency sensitivity kernels that can be used to solve inverse problems. While being mathematically and computationally more complex, interferometry without Green’s function retrieval has produced promising initial results that make successful future applications likely.
Panda bonds: opportunity or threat for Europe?

We analyse the effect of panda bonds on indebted firms default probability. The theoretical default probability as a function of debt is evaluated in the Black, Scholes (1973) and Merton (1974) framework for various set of parameters values. We consider as benchmark the prevailing default rates for speculative-grade corporate companies based on the last reports by S&P (2019) and Moody’s (2018).
