Evaluating the results of resistance training using ultrasound or flexed arm circumference: A case for keeping it simple?

Background: The present study aimed to compare changes in muscle size when measured by ultrasound (US) muscle thickness (MT) and arm circumference (AC) using data from young men. Methods: The investigation involved data from three previous studies involving a total of 67 young men who performed resistance training (RT) for 10-12 weeks. Before and after the training period, elbow flexor MT was evaluated by US and AC was measured. We conducted two-stage individual patient data random-effects meta-analyses using both Frequentist and Bayesian hypothesis testing. One-sample analyses examined the absence or presence of a change in both MT and AC, and paired analyses examined whether these differed from one another or equivalent. Results: One-sample analysis supported that both AC (+4.9%; tp=0.0002; BF10=6,255,759,515) and MT (+3.9%; P<0.0001; BF10=7,958,241,773) suggested that change in muscle size had occurred. Frequentist paired comparisons suggested that the estimates of change between both AC and MT measures did not significantly differ (P=0.1092), but were not statistically equivalent. Bayesian paired comparisons, however, suggested that MT estimates where greater in magnitude than AC estimates for change in muscle size (BF10=16.39174). Conclusion: Both MT and AC are able to detect RT-induced changes in muscle size of the upper arm, but that the magnitude of changes may differ. Thus, care should be taken when comparing or combining estimates using either approach. Relevance for patients: The use of AC might be considered as a practical and low-cost alternative to detect changes in muscle size.
Difficulties while Conducting Research in Academia: Taking M.Phil Students’ Perspectives in Public and Private Universities

The thesis work has been the integral part of the MPhil in Education program. However, it has been observed that students are in a great fix regarding the completion of their thesis work. So, the purpose was to investigate the difficulties encountered by the students during research at MPhil level. Their experiences were further examined on the basis of their gender and university type. The data was collected by the survey. The conveniently selected sample consisted of 300 MPhil students including male and female, studying in public as well as in private universities. The data was collected through a questionnaire which was a 4-point Rating Scale comprising 25 items. It has 3 factors: i) supervisor’ selection, ii) supervisors’ support, iii) institutional support. The descriptive statistics for calculating the percentage of students’ perspectives as well as Inferential Statistics (Mann-Whitney U tests) was used to find out the difference on the basis of students’ gender and university type. The results revealed that majority of students selected their supervisors themselves willingly, but few of them forced to select their supervisor on their teachers’ referrals, research topics were allotted to students by supervisors themselves. Their supervisors were not easily approachable as they were unable to give students the due time because of their academic and administrative burdensome responsibilities, even neither the concerned HOD/ director is available at ease for students nor they are provided the access to paid e-libraries. By keeping in mind, the importance of thesis in accomplishment of degrees of MPhil students, there is need to conduct further studies to explore supervisors’ point of view as some of the problems are concerned with the supervisors’ support too, that will help to minimize the students’ problems.

Surimi is an export product and has a high economic value because it has high quality content, but surimi products can be contaminated. This study aims to determine the moisture content, pH, Total Plate Count, and Salmonella from self-made surimi of tuna fish and surimi from retailed store. The value of self-made surimi is 820 cfu/g as from supermarkets is 120 cfu/g but it meets the Indonesian National Standard, which is max. 50,000 cfu/g. The pH value for self-made surimi is 6.36, and for surimi from retailed store is 7.36. The moisture content of homemade surimi was 75.83% while surimi from retailed store was 70.33%. Furthermore, there is no Salmonella detected of surimi both sample. It can be concluded that both samples can be consumed after proper cooking.
Non-specific inflammatory bowel disease and the risk of tumour growth

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes mainly ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (Lesniowski-Crohn’s, ChL-C, CD) in man, is a chronic and recurrent inflammation of the alimentary tract with multifactorial causes. Similar disorders are found in other animal species, and IBD has been observed in dogs and cats (4, 23). Causes of IBD include genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, bacterial agents, and damage to the epithelial barrier. Due to abnormal activation of the immune system and mucosal immune response, inflammatory reactions involving numerous immune cells and mediators are initiated (11). Both types of IBD are characterized by chronic inflammation with periods of remission and exacerbation. They may vary between mild and acute and often significantly affect the individual’s quality of life. In 1952, Rosenberg and Crohn determined a connection between IBD (non-specific inflammatory bowel disease) and CRC (colorectal cancer). The CRC risk for patients suffering from IBD depends on the extent, duration and severity of the inflammation. The percentage for IBD-CRC associations is between 1% and 2% for all CRC units, which represents 10-15% of terminal cases of IBD (2). Most of sporadic colorectal tumours arise from adenomas, which are characterized primarily by epithelial dysplasia. A tumour developing in the case of IBD is usually invasive, poorly differentiated, multifocal and predisposed to location in the large intestine. The increased risk of CRC (colorectal cancer) in IBD (non-specific inflammatory bowel disNon-specific inflammatory bowel diseases and the risk of tumour growth
Synthesis of MOFs/GO composite for corrosion resistance application on carbon steel

Two unreported metal–organic frameworks [Cu(6-Me-2,3-pydc)(1,10-phen)·7H2O]n (namely Cu-MOF) and [Mn2(2,2′-bca)2(H2O)2]n (namely Mn-MOF) were synthesized by a solvothermal method and their structures were characterized and confirmed by elemental analysis, X-ray single crystal diffraction, Fourier infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Cu-MOF/graphene (Cu-MOF/GR), Cu-MOF/graphene oxide (Cu-MOF/GO), Mn-MOF/graphene (Mn-MOF/GR) and Mn-MOF/graphene oxide (Mn-MOF/GO) composite materials were successfully synthesized by a solvothermal method and characterized and analyzed by PXRD, SEM and TEM. In order to study the corrosion inhibition properties of the Cu-MOF/GR, Cu-MOF/GO, Mn-MOF/GR and Mn-MOF/GO composite materials on carbon steel, they were mixed with waterborne acrylic varnish to prepare a series of composite coatings to explore in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution by electrochemical measurements and results showed that the total polarization resistance of the 3% Cu-MOF/GO and 3% Mn-MOF/GO composite coatings on the carbon steel surface were relatively large, and were 55 097 and 55 729 Ω cm2, respectively, which could effectively protect the carbon steel from corrosion. After immersion for 30 days, the 3% Mn-MOF/GO composite still maintained high corrosion resistance, the |Z| values were still as high as 23 804 Ω cm2. Therefore, MOFs compounded with GO can produce a synergistic corrosion inhibition effect and improve the corrosion resistance of the coating; this conclusion is well confirmed by the adhesion capability test.

Konzeptionierung eines praxisorientierten 3D‐Druckverfahrens für den Verbundwerkstoff Stahlbeton (AMoRC)

Mit extrusionsbasierten 3D‐Druckmethoden herstellbare unbewehrte Betonbauteile sind nur in seltenen Fällen für den Einsatz in realen Bauwerken geeignet, da sie spröde versagen und unzureichende Tragfähigkeiten aufweisen. Daher werden neue Verfahren benötigt, die die Integration von Stahlbewehrung in den Betondruckprozess und damit die additive Fertigung des Verbundwerkstoffs Stahlbeton ermöglichen. Die Konzeptionierung eines praxisorientierten 3D‐Druckverfahrens für Stahlbeton, das sog. „Additive Manufacturing of Reinforced Concrete“ (AMoRC), ist daher Gegenstand des vorliegenden Beitrags. Im AMoRC‐Verfahren werden konfektionierte Stahlbewehrungsstäbe abschnittweise mit einem Lichtbogenbolzenschweißverfahren zu einer dreidimensionalen Bewehrungsstruktur gefügt und simultan mit einem Beton‐Extrusionsprozess umdruckt. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt die Entwicklung des Verfahrens und erste Voruntersuchungen zur Umsetzbarkeit.
EVRİŞİMLİ SİNİR AĞI TABANLI DERİNLİK HARİTASI İYİLEŞTİRME

Depth information of an environment is used extensively in many applications that require depth information such as three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and autonomous systems. Obtaining depth information using stereo image pairs is one of the prominent study topics for many years. In recent years, developments in the field of deep learning have also affected the studies in the field of obtaining depth using stereo images. These studies mostly focus on obtaining and correcting depth (disparity) maps. In deep learning based depth map correction, correction operations over matching costs have enabled more successful results. However, it is not always possible to get matching costs directly. Disparity maps produced by some of the existing systems are provided to the end-user. In this study, a network structure that corrects only one image and disparity map are proposed. The proposed network has been tested on KITTI 2012 and KITTI 2015 datasets. As a result, it is shown with quantitative and qualitative results that the proposed network structure can be used to increase the accuracy of the entrance depth maps.
Versatile counterstrategies shift the balance of intersexual conflict from males to females

Although primate females are predicted to develop counterstrategies against male infanticide, it has remained unclear whether counterstrategies are effective. Detailed long-term observations in Rhinopithecus roxellana reveal that females are able to mount versatile counterstrategies, including extra-unit mating, female joint defense and transfer with the infants, which lead to only 4 of 31 infants succumbing to infanticide and no difference in mortality of infants present during male replacements compare to other periods. Female joint defenses crucially delay infanticide and provide an opportunity for mothers' transfer to another social unit. In response to mothers' transfer, some males cease attacking infants, which is likely beneficial to males as during longer tenure they can sire future offspring of the mothers who remain. Our findings show how dynamic interactions between males and females can be and how the conditions in multilevel societies can shift the balance of intersexual conflict from males to females.
Exploring Enabling Factors for Innovation Outcomes. A Firm-Level Analysis

Major innovation research has been primarily focused on developed countries, creating a gap in the literature related to innovation processes in emerging markets, such as Latin America. Even as some studies are aimed toward this region, their approach is usually only from the standpoint of an R&D funding perspective. This paper aims to discuss the relationship between resources for innovation and sources of innovation with innovation outcomes, using a sample of Peruvian companies, which received public funds oriented to the developing of innovative activities. Results found evidence that the presence of resources for innovation and sources of innovation have a positive influence on innovation outcomes. Moreover, resources for innovation are related to non-technological innovation, with internal R&D being the most carried out by companies even when it is not related to product nor process innovation. While sources of innovation are related to product innovation, firms demonstrated an incipient use of inter-firm collaboration strategies as its sources it.
Integrating data science into the translational science research spectrum: A substance use disorder case study

Abstract The availability of large healthcare datasets offers the opportunity for researchers to navigate the traditional clinical and translational science research stages in a nonlinear manner. In particular, data scientists can harness the power of large healthcare datasets to bridge from preclinical discoveries (T0) directly to assessing population-level health impact (T4). A successful bridge from T0 to T4 does not bypass the other stages entirely; rather, effective team science makes a direct progression from T0 to T4 impactful by incorporating the perspectives of researchers from every stage of the clinical and translational science research spectrum. In this exemplar, we demonstrate how effective team science overcame challenges and, ultimately, ensured success when a diverse team of researchers worked together, using healthcare big data to test population-level substance use disorder (SUD) hypotheses generated from preclinical rodent studies. This project, called Advancing Substance use disorder Knowledge using Big Data (ASK Big Data), highlights the critical roles that data science expertise and effective team science play in quickly translating preclinical research into public health impact.
Intraspecific genetic and phenotypic diversity: parallel processes and correlated patterns?

Intraspecific diversity plays a key role for evolutionary and ecological dynamics. It is the raw material on which acts selection, it improves species and communities resilience to disturbance and it affects the way species modulate their biotic and abiotic environment. Understanding patterns and underlying determinants of genetic and phenotypic intraspecific diversity is therefore of critical importance for ecological, evolutionary and conservation sciences. Here, focusing on two freshwater fish species (Gobio occitaniae and Phoxinus phoxinus) sampled across a large river basin (the Garonne-Dordogne river basin, France), we used causal analyses to test for genetic-phenotypic intraspecific diversity correlations (GPIDCs) and unravel the processes underlying intraspecific diversity patterns. Genetic diversity was assessed using microsatellite markers and phenotypic diversity was assessed through geometric morphometrics. We found disparities in the distribution of genetic and phenotypic diversity in the two species, suggesting higher level of local adaptation in G. occitaniae, and our results revealed common and contrasted processes shaping diversity at the α- and β-level. At the α-level, we found no GPIDC in both species despite common relations between isolation and genetic and phenotypic α-diversity in G. occitaniae. At the β-level, we found no GPIDC in P. phoxinus but we found a positive GPIDC in G. occitaniae. This correlation appeared to be caused by a direct impact of one facet of intraspecific diversity on the other, and we speculated that it could originate from positive assortative mating. Studying neutral genetic diversity and phenotypic diversity within an integrative framework appears as a valuable way of deciphering the complex and diverse impacts of neutral and adaptive processes on intraspecific diversity patterns.
Paddy Monitoring in Seberang Perak, Malaysia Using Multi-Temporal Sentinel-1 Data

Rice is considered the main food source for over 40% of the world population and plays a crucial role in countries’ food security, food management, and economic aspects. The value of SAR remote sensing in agricultural studies has its source of illumination and not limited to cloud cover. This makes it highly preferable over optical sensors in cloud-shrouded countries. The objective of the study is to assess the capability of Sentinel-1 data for determining paddy planting methods, identifying unhealthy paddy and an attempt made to differentiate rice varieties through correlation of in situ measurements and temporal variation of SAR backscattered signals. Six Sentinel-1 images are stacked to cover the entire paddy lifecycle. The correlated field data and plant backscatter showed that transplanted paddy has backscatter higher than broadcasted paddy. Two drops of paddy backscatter coefficient occurred, the first one, at the reproductive stage when paddy was attacked by bacteria and the second drop was at the ripening stage due to the attack of pests. The five rice varieties planted in Seberang Perak, Malaysia had the backscatter with insignificant differences that cannot confirm the Sentinel-1 capability to differentiate planted rice varieties. According to the obtained results, the time series of Sentinel-1 data has the capability for paddy rice growth monitoring.
SportSett:Basketball - A robust and maintainable data-set for Natural Language Generation

Data2Text Natural Language Generation is a complex and varied task. We investigate the data requirements for the difﬁcult real-world problem of generating statistic-focused summaries of basketball games. This has recently been tackled using the Rotowire and Rotowire-FG datasets of paired data and text. It can, however, be difﬁcult to ﬁlter, query, and maintain such large volumes of data. In this resource paper, we introduce the Sport-Sett:Basketball database 1 . This easy-to-use resource allows for simple scripts to be written which generate data in suitable formats for a variety of systems. Building upon the existing data, we provide more attributes, across multiple dimensions, increasing the overlap of content between data and text. We also highlight and resolve issues of training, validation and test partition contamination in these previous datasets.
Genome‐wide analysis of PmTCP4 transcription factor binding sites by ChIP‐Seq during pistil abortion in Japanese apricot

The TCP4 transcription factor plays an important role in plant growth and development, especially in flower development. PmTCP4 is involved in the process of pistil abortion in Japanese apricot, but its molecular mechanism, particularly the DNA binding sites and co‐regulatory genes, are quite unknown. Therefore, to identify the genome‐wide binding sites of PmTCP4 transcription factors and their co‐regulatory genes, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP‐Seq) was carried out. ChIP‐Seq data produced the maximum enriched peaks in two Japanese apricot cultivars ‘Daqiandi’ (DQD) and ‘Longyan’ (LY), which showed that the majority of DNA‐protein interactions are relevant and have a significant function in binding sites. Moreover, 720 and 251 peak‐associated genes regulated by PmTCP4 were identified in DQD and LY, respectively, and most of them were involved in the flower and pistil development process. Furthermore, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation were the most enriched pathways in both cultivars and all identified genes related to these pathways were down‐regulated. This study will provide a reference for a better understanding of the PmTCP4 regulatory mechanism during pistil abortion in Japanese apricot.
Notes on currently accepted species of Colletotrichum

Colletotrichum is an economically important plant pathogenic genus worldwide, but can also have endophytic or saprobic lifestyles. The genus has undergone numerous revisions in the past decades with the addition, typification and synonymy of many species. In this study, we provide an account of the 190 currently accepted species, one doubtful species and one excluded species that have molecular data. Species are listed alphabetically and annotated with their habit, host and geographic distribution, phylogenetic position, their sexual morphs and uses (if there are any known). There are eleven species complexes in Colletotrichum and 23 singleton species. The main characters of each species complex are detailed with illustrations. Phylogenetic trees are provided for the whole genus and each species complex. Genes and combination of genes that can be used for identification of the species complexes are suggested. Specific genes that can be used in species identification are given when possible.
Reconocimiento del número de coincidencias encontradas en una imagen de texto por medio de convolución y correlación bidimensional

Aplicamos el método de convolución y correlación para buscar en una imagen de texto el número de veces que se repite una letra o una palabra, para ello ocupamos una máscara laplaciana para realizar una convolución entre esta mascara y las dos imágenes a tratar (la imagen que contiene todo el texto y la imagen de texto o letra que se quiera buscar), posteriormente aplicamos el método de correlación para obtener los valores máximos en ambas imágenes y hacemos un conteo al comparar los valores más altos a través de la imagen. La combinación de estas dos técnicas ha resultado muy útil en el tratamiento de imágenes para el reconocimiento de caracteres, pero también puede ser aplicable al reconocimiento de otros cuerpos periódicos en un sistema de pixeles.
Accuracy in estimating visual quality parameters of mango fruits as moving object using image processing

Mango fruit grading in Indonesia is still done manually with low capacity and less accurate results. A conveyor mechanism with a camera as an evaluation tool can be used to increase the capacity and accuracy of grading. However, the image quality captured by the camera decreases with a moving object. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of estimating mango quality parameters by image processing using images captured by a camera at different conveyor speeds. The results of the RGB color analysis of mango images captured from a moving conveyor at three different speeds were compared with the results of the same still images. The average error of the color analysis for low, medium, and high speeds were; red color index 3.56%, 4.76%, and 6.27%, green color index 2.39%, 3.66%, and 3.95%, while blue color was not considered due to its inferior compared to the red and green colors. For HSI color model, the results were; hue values 2.13%, 3.35%, and 3.56 %, saturation values 8.98%, 12.15% and 15.26%, intensity values 15.48%, 23.89% and 17.84%. Meanwhile, the estimated error rates for the projected area for low, medium, and high conveyor speeds were 2.34%, 2.83%, and 4.78 %.
