Specialization of Mathematic Teachers and Professional Development

The professional knowledge and skills which the professional teachers of mathematics needed are analyzed, as concludes fundamental methods to develop professionally for professional teachers of mathematics. To realize the specialization of a mathematics teacher and to enhance the professional development, one must do following actions, doing research actively, rethinking frequently, willing to communicate and good at learning. Therefore, our mathematics teacher would change from just a teacher into a real profession teacher. Our curriculum revolution in present situation would not become a mere formality. Moreover, our national mathematics education would have a real qualitative leap. Index Terms - mathematics, professors, processionals, development
Farmers’ knowledge, perceptions and control of pestiferous termites in Nakasongola district, Uganda

This study documented farmers’ indigenous knowledge on termite damage and management practices in Nakasongola district, Uganda using a pre-tested questionnaire. The majority (84%) of 94 farmers interviewed were aware of the termite damage on vegetation in rangelands and croplands, and the damaging termite species. Pseudacanthotermes militaris , Macrotermes subhyalinus , M. bellicosus , Nasutitermes arboreus and Eutermes arborum were reported to cause severe damage to pasture grass, trees and/or crops. Farmers’ knowledge of termite damage was significantly influenced by their age, sex and education. About half of the farmers had attempted to control termites, but with little success. Application of chemicals was the most commonly reported control method followed by queen removal. Farmers’ efforts to control termites were mainly limited by high costs of chemicals and lack of knowledge on effective control methods. Implications of these findings on the development and promotion of integrated termite management strategies are discussed. Keywords: Indigenous knowledge, pest management, plant damage, rangelands, termites

Codeswitching in Antonio Muñoz Molina's "Carlota Fainberg": Determiner Gender and Noun Phrase Status

El canvi de codi entre determinant i nom, alla on l'idioma del determinant senyala el genere i el del nom no ho fa, ofereix una oportunitat per a un dels dos idiomes de demostrar-ne el domini. Malgrat els estudis que indiquen que l'us de l'article masculi es el que s'usa per defecte en casos de determinant espanyol + nom angles, el corpus d'aquest estudi demostra una preferencia clara per una estrategia de traduccio: el determinant en espanyol i altres modificadors concorden amb el genere de la paraula traduida a l'espanyol.
An Integrated Analog Demultiplexer for Spatial Multiplexing of Local Elements Scheme Using MOS Transistors

This paper proposes a CMOS analog demultiplexer for Spatial Multiplexing of Local Elements scheme at baseband level. This technique is a front-end receiver architecture which uses only one RF channel, carrying multiplexed information from multiple antennas into one RF single channel. The described circuit has four channels, in which each channel has a differential switch pair and an OTA for amplification and differential to single-ended signal conversion. The specifications and simulation performance are in close agreement, which validate the proposed compact design. Streszczenie.

Primer registro conjunto de ablación con catéter: una perspectiva crítica

The publication of the Catheter Ablation Registry in 2011 provided the medical community with a unique insight into the current national state of cardiac ablation. (1) In this issue of the Journal, Gant Lopez et al extend those findings with an updated version of the registry. (2) Importantly, due in part to the collaborative efforts of the two Argentine Societies of Cardiology, the authors have been able to nearly double the number of procedures as compared to the first registry. The registry now includes 30 participating centers which greatly improves its value and relevance to Argentine cardiologists. In comparison to the first registry, the overall success rates remain high (93.8%) while the number of complications has declined significantly to 2.2%, in agreement with other international registries.

Analysis of Marketing Modes Based on Time-space Check-in Data

* Corresponding author Abstract—We analyzed how to apply the check-in data to marketing areas by means of the current check-in software based on the theory of Time-Space Path. First, we explored possible marketing modes according to the path in the Time-Space theory and several kinds of interactive ways between people in time- space areas. Second, we chose the time-space coexistence and space coexistence conditions to make logical analysis. We found out the appropriate marketing time and locations by using the check-in data. Our contribution is to apply the time-space theory to the marketing analysis.
ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CELLULOLYTIC YEASTS FOR BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION

The present study was conducted in the Department of Agricultural Microbiology on bioethanol production from selected agro-residues with the objectives whether two step process i.e. hydrolysis and fermentation could be transformed into single step with the help of efficient cellulolytic yeast strains, thus reducing the cost of bioethanol production. A total of 104 yeast isolates from various natural habitat mainly rotten fruit rinds, forest leaf litter, compost, fruit samples, food stuff and over matured paragrass were isolated on the basis of zone of hydrolysis of cellulose and release of reducing sugars. Among these 31 cellulolytic yeasts were screened. Five efficient strains CY-52, CY-58, CY-59, CY-62 and CY-81 were chosen on the basis of release of maximum reducing sugars. The isolates were subjected for utilization of various carbon sources namely glucose, maltose, ribose, lactose, sucrose, arabinose, galactose, xylose and starch to know the sugar utilization efficiency. The efficient yeast strains were subjected on two delignified substrates i.e. paddy straw and sugarcane bagasse. Delignification was carried out using alkali at 3 per cent for 8 h. Recovery of cellulose was highest in case of sugarcane bagasse i.e. 695 mg g as compared to paddy straw 564 mg g.To know the enzymatic assay, filter paper activity and CMCase activity was conducted with the efficient strains out of which strain CY-59 isolate showed the highest activity i.e. 16.82 U ml and 12.99 U ml respectively. The yeast isolate CY-59 showed the maximum bioethanol production of 48.18 mg g and 60.51 mg g from paddy straw and sugarcane bagasse respectively which was on par to reference strain NCIM-3200and commercial cellulase. Thus, it can be concluded that yeasts are able to induce cellulase for hydrolysis of the substrates and produce ethanol. Extrapolating more sources from nature can yield better strains.
Double Compressions of Atmospheric Depth by Geopotential Tendency, Vorticity, and Atmospheric Boundary Layer Affected Abrupt High Particulate Matter Concentrations at a Coastal City for a Yellow Dust Period in October

Using GRIMM-aerosol sampler, NOAA-HYSPLIT model, and 3D-WRF-3.3 model, the transportation of dusts from Gobi Desert toward Gangneung city, Korea was investigated from 09:00 LST October 27 to 04:00 LST October 28, 2003. Maximum PM10 (PM2.5, PM1) concentration was detected with 3.8 (3.4, 14.1) times higher magnitude than one in non-Yellow Dust period. The combination of dusts transported from the desert under westerly wind with particulate matters and gases from vehicles on the road of the city caused high PM concentrations near the ground surface at 09:00 LST and their maxima at 17:00 LST near sunset with further pollutants from heating boilers in the resident area. Positive geopotential tendency at the 500 hPa level of the city (∂Φ/∂t; m day−1) corresponding to negative vorticity of sec−1 ( sec−1) at 0900 LST (21:00 LST; at night) was
A Holistic Day-ahead Distributed Energy Management Approach: Equilibrium Selection for Customers’ Game

n this paper, a new holistic distributed day-ahead energy management approach with desired equilibrium selection capability in a smart distribution grid is proposed. The interaction between customers and the distribution company is modeled as a single-leader multiple-follower Stackelberg game. The interaction among customers is modeled as a non-cooperative generalized Nash game because they meet a common constraint. Customers hold the average of the aggregate load in the appropriate domain to reshape it and improve the Load Factor. The strategy of the distribution company is day-ahead energy pricing obtained through maximizing its profit which is formulated as a stochastic conditional value at risk optimization to consider the uncertainty of the price of electricity in the wholesale market. Customers’ strategies are based on hourly consumption of deferrable loads and scheduled charge/discharge rates of energy storage devices in response to price. It is proved that the generalized Nash game has multiple equilibria; hence, the distributed proximal Tikhonov regularization algorithm is proposed here to achieve the desired equilibrium. The simulation results validate the performance of the proposed algorithm with 31.46% increase in the Load Factor besides 45.89 % and 14.23 % reduction in the maximum aggregate demand and aggregate billing cost, respectively.

The state of the art in stock assessment: where we are and where we are going

Throughout the world´s major commercial fisheries the standard paradigm includes fitting a stock assessment model to the data and then applying some form of reference point or a range of reference points, usually a target exploitation rate, to calculate a point estimate of the annual allowable catch. Over the last decade the methods available to be used in these models have changed dramatically from those using only catch, catch-at-age and survey or CPUE data to methods that now use every source of data available in a totally integrated framework. The use of meta-analysis has provided formal statistical methods for incorporating information learned from other stocks. Modern methods make it possible to express uncertainty in all model outputs, but management agencies are only now learning to deal with explicit recognition of uncertainty and have lagged far behind the scientific capability to express uncertainty. While modern stock assessment models have grown increasingly complex and their development is limited to a priesthood of experts, I believe the future trend will be to base management decisions on simple rules that are more often data-based rather than model-based, while the complex models will serve primarily to evaluate the robustness of these decision rules.
Multiple Film Based Daylight Control System

SUMMARY A multiple film based daylight control system for window has been developed to maintain the illuminance level at task plane. The developed system consists of three films with a visual transmittivity (Tvis) range of 0.159 - 0.015 and a 2x55W dimmable compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) fixture. The system works on the principle of feedback control, which records the changes in light intensity with the help of photosensor placed on the ceiling and facing the task plane and accordingly adjusts the film-position as well as the control voltage of dimmable CFL to maintain the task plane illuminance within a tolerance of -10%, +20% of setpoint. Optimized use of solar illuminance saves energy used for the task lighting for the period from 8:00 to 19:00, which was found to be about 70%. The paper describes the design, implementation of the proposed system and the preliminary results for task light illuminance and energy savings achieved in laboratory setup.
RAMS: Real-time Anomaly Monitoring System

: Microblog platforms have been exceptionally happening in the big data epoch due to its real-time dissipation of facts and figures. It’s crucial to know what anomalous incidents are trending on the social network and be able to supervise their unfolding and find analogous abnormalities. In this project, we have established RAMS, an actual-time arising anomaly supervising scheme over microblog text contents. RAMS assimilates our attempt on both arising anomaly monitoring analysis and system investigation. From the arising supervising aspect, RAMS introduces a graph analytic method such that, RAMS can detect arising anomalies at a prior stage in comparison to the existing approaches, RAMS is among the first to design the arising anomalies interrelationships in a streaming manner, RAMS is able to monitor anomaly evolutions in real-time at diverse time ranges from minutes to months. From the system research aspect, RAMS enhances time-ranged keyword query execution of a full-text search engine to reform the capability of arising anomaly evolution, it also enhances the real-time graph developing performance of Spark and instruments our graph stream model on it, As an outcome, RAMS is able to process big data to the entire Weibo or Twitter text stream with continuous horizontal extensibility. The system distinctly presents its dominance over current existing systems and approaches from both the event monitoring aspect and the system perspective for the arising event monitoring project.
Phylogenetic Analysis of M2 Proteins from Avian and Swine Influenza A Viruses

M2 is transmembrane matrix protein that plays a key role in the replication cycle of influenza virus A. Four identical M2 protein chains form a M2 proton channel, which transports protons inside the host cell. Although the M2 proteins are highly conservative, some positions are characterized by a considerable degree of variability. In this paper, data of 359 M2 sequences were collected for the study. The sequences were separated into three groups sequences that belong to the avian influenza viruses; sequences that belong to viruses whose hosts are swine; and sequences that belong to viruses whose hosts are birds, swine and other hosts or an undefined host. In this work, a phylogenetic analysis was done for each of the above groups. Full Article Link (With ANNEX): http://publicationslist.org/ajase Figures: 5, 6, 7, 8 (avian); figures: 9, 10, 11, 12 (swine); figures: 13, 14, 15, 16 (avian and swine); figures: 17, 18, 19, 20 (other).
A Flocking Algorithm For Second-order Multi-agent Systems

Multi-agent navigation is a field that has gained increasing attention both in the robotics and the control communities, due to the need for autonomous control of more than one mobile robotic agent in the same workspace. The main feature of formation control is the cooperative nature of the equilibrium of the system. Agents must converge to a desired configuration encoded by the inter agent relative positions. Among the various specifications that the control design aims to impose on the multi-agent team, formation convergence and achievement of flocking behavior are two objectives that have been pursued extensively in the last few years.
Object interactivity and Millennial shoppers’ perceptions towards interactive product simulator

In order to offer shoppers product experiences as close to those from direct examinations, online retailers have started turning into interactive product virtualization technologies that can provide shoppers with detailed information about the products through simulated product experiences when shopping online. This research explores how interactive product virtualization technologies (i.e., interactive product simulator) can engender virtual product experiences, affecting Millennium generation shoppers’ use of interactive product simulators for online shopping. Through an online survey, the researcher identified perceptions of using interactive product simulators for online shopping. The research focused on Millennium generation, considering their high Internet usage levels, strong social ties and interdependency among millennial shoppers through social media. Based on Diffusion of Innovation, Theory of Reasoned Action, and Technology Acceptance Model, the research model was developed. The effects of object interactivity and beliefs on attitudes toward using interactive product simulators for online shopping as well as the effect of subjective norm on the intention to shop online using interactive product simulators were investigated. Potential gender difference in the relationships among the variables in the model was also examined.
The positioning of concessive adverbial clauses in English: assessing the importance of discourse-pragmatic and processing-based constraints1

English permits adverbial subordinate clauses to be placed either before or after their associated main clause. Previous research has shown that the positioning is conditioned by various factors from the domains of semantics, discourse pragmatics and language processing. With the exception of Diessel (2008), these factors have never been investigated in concert, which makes it difficult to understand their relative importance. Diessel's study, however, discusses only temporal constructions and identifies iconicity of sequence as the strongest predictor of clause position. Since this explanation is, in principle, unavailable for other types of subordinate clauses, the generalizability of Diessel's findings is somewhat limited. The present study offers a multifactorial analysis of 2,000 concessive constructions from the written part of the BNC and assesses the variable importance of six factors for the ordering choice, showing that semantic and discourse-pragmatic factors are much stronger predictors of clause position than processing-based, weight-related ones. On a methodological note, the study proposes that random forests using conditional inference trees constitute the preferred tool for the general type of problem investigated here.
Meta-Positioning of Carbonitrile Functional Groups Induces Interfacial Edge-On Phase of Oligophenyl Derivatives

We present a combined systematic experimental and theoretical study of the supramolecular organization of a carbonitrile-functionalized oligophenyl on Cu(111) and Ag(111) showing multiple self-assembled structures including a novel edge-on phase at room temperature. We were able to follow the coverage dependent assemblies by means of scanning tunneling microscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption-fine-structure spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and supported the analysis of the experimental results by density functional theory calculations. With increasing coverage the molecular orientation of the building blocks changes from nearly coplanar with the substrate to upright standing. With this reorientation, the stabilizing forces behind the respective bonding motives change from noncovalent molecule–molecule attraction governed by the polar functional groups to metal–organic coordination toward the substrate combined with intermolecular π–π interaction.
The effect of a conditional cash transfer for HIV prevention on the experience of partner violence for young women : Evidence from a randomized experiment in South Africa HPTN 068

Background: Evidence has shown that the experience of violence by a partner has important influences on women’s risk of HIV acquisition. Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) targeted to young women in sub-Saharan Africa have been advocated as an intervention to reduce the risk of HIV-infection, but the success of such interventions may be conditional upon changes in gendered power inequalities. Using a randomized experiment in northeast South Africa, we find that a CCT targeted to poor girls in high school reduced the risk of physical intimate partner violence (IPV) in the past 12 months by 34%. The purpose of this analysis is to understand the pathways through which the CCT affects IPV. Methods: HPTN 068 was a phase 3, randomized controlled trial in rural Mpumalanga province, South Africa. Eligible young women (aged 13-20) and their parents or guardians were randomly assigned (1:1) to either receive a monthly cash transfer conditional on monthly high school attendance or no cash transfer. Between 2011 and 2015, participants (N=2,448) were interviewed at baseline, then at annual follow-up visits at 12, 24, and 36 months. The total effect of the CCT on IPV was estimated using a GEE log-binomial regression model. We then estimated controlled direct effects to examine mediation of direct effects through intermediate pathways. Mediators include sexual partnership measures, the sexual relationship power scale, and household consumption measures. Results: We found evidence that the CCT works in part through delaying sexual debut or reducing the number of sexual partners. The intervention interacts with these mediators leading to larger reductions in IPV risk compared to the direct effect of the CCT on any physical IPV [RR 0.66, CI(95%):0.59-0.74]. The largest reductions are seen when we estimate the controlled direct effect under no sexual debut [RR 0.57, CI(95%):0.48-0.65] or under no sexual partner in the last 12 months [RR 0.53, CI(95%):0.46-0.60]. Conclusion: Results indicate that a CCT for adolescent school girls has protective effects on their experience of IPV and that the effect is due in part to girls choosing not to engage in sexual partnerships, thereby reducing the opportunity for IPV. Since these behaviours also protect against HIV acquisition, this evidence strengthens the case for CCTs for HIV prevention. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01233531).
