Abstract. We determine the Hausdorff dimension of the set of k-multiple points for a symmetric operator semistable Lévy process X = {X(t), t ∈ R+} in terms of the eigenvalues of its stability exponent. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of k-multiple points. Our results extend to all k ≥ 2 the recent work [23], where the set of double points (k = 2) was studied in the symmetric operator stable case.
1 5 M ay 2 01 8 Boundary Conservation from Bulk Symmetry ∗

The evolution of the black hole horizon can be effectively captured by a fictitious membrane fluid living on the stretched horizon. We show that the dynamics of this boundary matter arises from the invariance of the bulk action under local symmetries in the presence of the inner boundary. If general covariance is broken in a semi-classical treatment of a quantum field near a black hole horizon, we argue that it can be restored by the inclusion of a quantum flux into the membrane conservation equation which is exactly equal to the Hawking flux. Black hole event horizon divides the space-time into two causally disconnected regions. This causal separation is an advantage as it allows us to practice low energy physics without worrying about the nature of space-time near the central singularity. This is reminiscent of the Wilsonian decoupling of UV from IR in a well-behaved quantum field theory. The unobserved UV degrees of freedom leave their marks in the renormalization group flow of the couplings. We hope for similar signatures of the unobserved information inside the black holes as an effective quantity for the outside observer. A novel description of such an approach is the construction of the membrane paradigm [1, 2]. Suppose we live in a universe which has an inner boundary, akin to the black hole event horizon. Unlike the asymptotic boundary, the inner boundary is not a real boundary of the space-time. Some observers can venture into the inside from outside. Nevertheless, the outside physics is causally independent of the inside. Then, we should be able to derive a classical equation of motion without imposing any special boundary condition at the inner boundary. For example, consider the action of a Maxwell field sourced by a charged scalar field,
TRIESTE LECTURES ON SOLITONS IN NONCOMMUTATIVE GAUGE THEORIES

Recently there has been a revival of interest in noncommutative gauge theories. They are interesting examples of nonlocal field theories which in the certain limit (of large noncommutativity) become essentially equivalent to the large N ordinary gauge theories ; certain supersymmetric versions of noncommutative gauge theories arise as α′ → 0 limit of theories on Dp-branes in the presence of background B-field ; the related theories arise in Matrix compactifications with C-field turned on ; finally, noncommutativity is in some sense an intrinsic feature of the open string field theory . A lot of progress has been recently achieved in the analysis of the classical solutions of the noncommutative gauge theory on the noncommutative versions of Minkowski or Euclidean spaces. The first explicit solutions and their moduli where analyzed in 73 where instantons in the four dimensional noncommutative gauge theory (with self-dual noncommutativity) were constructed. These instantons play an important role in the construction of the discrete light cone quantization of the M-theory fivebrane , and they also gave a hope of giving an interpretation in the physical gauge theory language of the torsion free sheaves which appear in various interpretations of D-brane states , in particular those responsible for the enthropy of black holes realized via D5-D1 systems , and also enter the S-duality invariant partition functions of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory . One can also relax the selfduality assumption on the noncommutativity. The construction of 73 easily generalizes to the general case θ 6= 0 (see also ). In addition to the instantons (which are particles in 4+1 dimensional theory), which represent the D0-D4 system, the monopole-like solutions were found in U(1) gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions. The latter turn out to have a string attached to them. The string with the monopole at its end are the noncommutative field theory
Adaptación morfológica del corazón a la hipertensión arterial esencial: Fisiopatología e implicaciones terapéuticas

El diseño experimental de los estudios prospectivos sobre el tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial esencial, ha ignorado un aspecto fundamental de la fisiopatología del paciente hipertenso: Los pacientes hipertensos no son homogéneos, en lo que respecta a los mecanismos responsables del aumento de la presión arterial. La adaptación cardiovascular a la hipertensión arterial es anatómica y funcionalmente heterogénea. Investigaciones clínicas recientes indican que, esta heterogeneidad, puede ser minimizada con el uso de la eco-cardiografía. El análisis de los perfiles hemodinámicos y neurohormonales de los pacientes hipertensos permite distinguir la presencia de denominadores comunes: La hipertrofia ventricular concéntrica y la hipertrofia ventricular excéntrica representan los extremos opuestos de adaptación del corazón a la hipertensión arterial. El primero se caracteriza por tener una forma geométrica elíptica, con un perfil hemodinámico de gasto cardíaco normal y resistencias vasculares periféricas elevadas. Los niveles plasmáticos de renina y de los péptidos natriuréticos están elevados. La hipertrofia excéntrica muestra una tendencia a la esfericidad. El gasto cardíaco se encuentra aumentado y las resistencias vasculares periféricas están disminuidas. Los niveles de renina plasmática son menores y la actividad del sistema nervioso simpático está incrementada. Las respuestas terapéuticas son igualmente contrarias. La hipertrofia ventricular concéntrica revierte con antagonistas de la angiotensina II, mientras que la hipertrofia excéntrica es refractaria al atenolol y a los antagonistas de la angiotensina II. Estos hallazgos nos permiten plantear la siguiente pregunta: ¿El patrón de hipertrofia ventricular izquierda debería tomarse en cuenta para la selección del tratamiento del paciente con hipertensión arterial esencial?
One Shot, Staged Procedures or Immediate Full Revascularization Strategy for Patients with Multivessel Disease Admitted for STEMI: Still a Bone of Contention

In patients admitted for ST-segment sus-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), revascularization is the corner stone of the management, completing the medical treatments [1,2]. Although it is widely accepted and strongly recommended that the culprit lesion has to be treated during the Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI), the better option regarding the other lesions in case of multivessel disease remains controversial. On the one hand, treating only the culprit lesion allows a shorter procedure with less renal impairment and lower risk of acute stent thrombosis. On the other hand, treating all the stenoses allow to shorten the hospitalization, stabilize the unstable plaques (See Table 1 for a detailed description of the advantages/disadvantages imbalance of the two sides of the medal). Importantly, this dilemma is not at all rare but should represent 30% to half of the patients admitted for STEMI [1,2].
Title: Primary care professionals’ perceptions of using a short family history questionnaire Running header: Usability of a short family history questionnaire Article category: Qualitative research Authors

Background: Improving access for relatives at-risk of genetic conditions by building referral systems from primary care to genetic services is well recognised. Objectives: This study aimed to explore Primary Care Professionals’ (PCPs) views about using a short, seven-item family history questionnaire (S-FHQ) as an intervention for identifying at-risk relatives of patients with a genetic condition in routine primary care for referral to genetic services. Method: This qualitative study was conducted in the UK in 2013-14. Focus groups were held with 21 PCPs. The Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) was used during analysis as the theoretical lens for exploring potential implementation and sustainability of the intervention. Results: In principle, participants were supportive of the S-FHQ. They initially expressed enthusiasm for the S-FHQ and identified benefits of its use. However, in discussions about its use in practice, they raised concerns about their expertise to deliver the intervention, implications for their workload, potential duplication with existing roles and services in secondary care, the ethical implications of its use in routine care, and its acceptability to patients. Conclusion: This study shows why even a short family history questionnaire, as an intervention for identifying at-risk relatives, is unlikely to be implemented by primary care professionals.
The Influence of Acridines on the Interaction of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus K phage

The inhibition of multiplication of staphylococcus K bacteriophage by six acridines and two amidines has been studied using mass lysis and one-step growth curve techniques. The effect of the different inhibitors upon the growth rate of the organisms was found to vary from below 5 to lOOyo inhibition a t a concentration sufficient to double lysis-time. Results of one-step growth curves showed a progressive decrease in burst size with increasing concentrations of inhibitor, and gave no evidence for any variation in sensitivity to inhibitor during the latent period. Using higher concentrations of inhibitor a zone was found where accelerated lysis occurred with loss of phage.
An Anomaly Detection Method for Spacecraft Using ICA Technology

Anomalies, outlier and fault means that the received data do not fit the common pattern, and may often be occur in spacecraft missions because of the high complexity and rugged operating environment of spacecraft. In order to reveal the potential faults or anomalies many methods and technology have been researched and achieved fruitful results. In this paper, we proposed an anomaly detection method for Spacecraft based on ICA technology. The independent component analysis (ICA) is recently developed in order to extract possible independent component and reveal the hidden anomaly pattern and can be used in the anomaly detection for spacecraft. By Applying ICA technology on spacecraft telemetry data, we can reveal the hidden anomalies in telemetry data which can not be accomplished by the ordinary method. The fastICA algorithm is used when doing ICA on real spacecraft telemetry. The simulation result and the application on real telemetry data prove the effectiveness of the method.

The relation between adolescent self assessment of health and risk behaviours

Objective: Self-rated health (SRH) has become a key organizing construct for assessing multiple dimensions of populations’ physical and psychosocial health functioning. However, it is unclear how adolescents’ subjective self assessment of health reflects health risk exposures, co-occurring health risks (problem behaviours) and other pre-existing health conditions. It is unknown whether adolescents place more emphasis on mental or physical health functioning in determining overall health. Methods: We evaluated the association between SRH and a set of behavioural and other psychosocial health risks including pre-existing medical conditions using Colorado Youth Risk Behavioural Survey (2005). We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and logistic regression models. Results: Adolescents with behavioural problems were at increased risk of poor health, and in particular females were at a higher risk of poor health compared with boys. However, in sub-group analyses boys with risks of sexual abuses were more likely to report worse health. Current smoking status, perception of body image as overweight and suicidal attempts were the most consistent predictors of poor health among this sampled population. Conclusions: SRH could be an indicator of health risk in situations where other biomedical information about an adolescent is unavailable. It appears that mental health functioning might be one of the most important factors used to determine the overall health in this population of adolescents. The role of parents and other adult mentors might be crucial in assisting adolescents to make appropriate choices regarding underlying health risks related to overall health functioning.
Examining Feasibility of Mentoring Families at a Farmers' Market and Community Garden

Background: Fruit and vegetable prescription (FVRx) programs provide “prescriptions” for produce, but increased access to nutritional food may be insufficient for long-term behavior change. Purpose: We integrated nutritional education into an FVRx program at a farmers' market and community garden at Penn State Medical Center by pairing medical student “mentors” with 4 families with overweight/obese children. Methods: Each head of household completed a presurvey that included basic demographic information, as well as a question about barriers to healthy eating. Families made up to 4 visits to the market with mentors, during which students discussed and documented produce utilization. A 1-hour focus group with mentors was conducted and transcribed. Thematic analysis was performed on qualitative data. Results: Two families completed all visits. On average, families spent 32 minutes at the market/garden per visit, had expenditures of $40.68, and reported one weekly produce item going unused. Families valued on-site mentoring, and students felt that it provided opportunities for professional development and improved self-care while also benefiting vendors. Discussion: Integrating medical student nutritional mentoring into an FVRx program was feasible and conferred benefits to participating families, students, and vendors. Translation to Health Education Practice: Educators should consider pairing access to nutritional foods with mentoring.
Lifesaving increases Life Expectancy

The notion of repeated minimal repair is analyzed and applied to modeling the lifesaving procedure of organisms. Under certain assumptions the equivalence between demographic lifesaving model and reliability shock model is proved. Both of these models are based on the non-homogeneous Poisson processes of underlying potentially harmful events The lifesaving ratio for homogeneous and heterogeneous populations is defined. Some generalizations are discussed. Several simple examples are considered.

ASSOCIATION FOR CONSUMER RESEARCH Indulging and Proud of It: Emotional Responses to Reason-Based Indulgent Consumption

We propose that consumers may feel pride (a positive self-conscious emotion) after indulging. Across three studies, we find that high self-control consumers experience pride when they have a reason to indulge, which in turn explains their post-consumption satisfaction and willingness to use the product. ExTENDED ABSTRACT While consumers may feel mixed emotions following indulgent consumption (e.g., feeling the pleasure of indulgence and frustra-tion for having succumbed to temptation; Ramanathan and Williams 2007), previous research has primarily examined the role of negative emotions emerging from indulgent behavior (e.g., guilt and regret; Kivetz and Simonson 2002). Pride is known to be a powerful spe-cific emotion that affects consumer behavior (Griskevicius, Shiota, and Nowlis 2010; Louro, Pieters, and Zeelenberg 2005; Williams and DeSteno 2008) and yet to date, pride has only been examined as an outcome of avoiding indulgence (Mukhopadhyay and Johar 2007). Given that consumption of luxury products is often marketed as a source of positive emotions (Twitchell 2003), it is important to un-derstand conditions under which consumers may also feel pride after indulging and what downstream consequences such positive emotions can have on evaluations of the luxury product itself. Although recent research suggests that, contrary to consumers’ intuition, indulging with or without a reason does not affect the level of enjoyment (Xu and Schwarz 2009), most researchers agree that enjoyment (basic emotion) and pride (self-conscious emotion) are not the same. Pride is a self-conscious emotion associated with self-achievement; pride emerges after deliberative processing (Roseman et al. 1996, Giner-Sorolla 2001) and from appraisals of one’s behavior vis-à-vis a social standard (Lewis 2004; Mascolo and Fischer 1995). Consumers compare the perceptions they hold about themselves (e.g., I am a controlled and frugal individual; I am spontaneous and impulsive) with the situation (e.g., indulging with or without a reason), and pride
Tag Quality Improvement for Social Image Hosting Website

: Social image hosting websites such as Flickr provide services to users for sharing their images. Users can upload and tag their images or search for images by using keywords which describe image semantics. However various low quality tags in the user generated folksonomy tags have negative inﬂuences on image search results and user experience. To improve tag quality, we propose four approaches with one framework to automatically generate new tags, and rank the new tags as well as the existing raw tags, for both untagged and tagged images. The approaches utilize and integrate both textual and visual information, and analyze intra-and inter-probabilistic relationships among images and tags based on a graph model. The experiments based on the dataset constructed from Flickr illustrate the e ﬀ ectiveness and e ﬃ ciency of our approaches.
MOLECULAR DOCKING OF COMPOUNDS FROM Chaetomium Sp. AGAINST HUMAN ESTROGEN RECEPTOR ALPHA IN SEARCHING ANTI BREAST CANCER

A study on molecular docking-based virtual screening has been conducted to select virtual hit of compounds, reported its existence in fungal endophytes of Chaetomium sp. as cytotoxic agent of breast cancer. The ligands were docked into Human Estrogen Receptor alpha (HER) as the protein which regulates the breast cancer growth via estradiol-estrogen receptor binding intervention. The results showed that two compounds bearing xanthone and two compounds bearing benzonaphtyridinedione scaffolds were selected as virtual hit ligands for HER leading to the conclusion that these compounds were good to be developed as anti breast cancer.
A Compact Broadband Antenna for Wireless Terminals in Telemetry and Communication Systems

A compact broadband antenna with a parasitic radiating strip, which could meet the demand for high data rate and high capacity, is proposed. By adding parasitic strip into an antenna, an additional electromagnetic resonant mode is introduced and further the bandwidth of the antenna is broadened. The parasitic strip adopts meandered-line structure to reduce occupying area. The measured -10 dB impedance bandwidth is 1080MHz (1920-3000MHz), covering the UMTS, WLAN and WiMAX bands in modern wireless communication system and the frequency band used in telemetry system.
A Framework on botnet deteetion and forensies

The utilization of Internet on domestic and corporate front has been increasing at drastic rate. Each organization and enterprise exploits the internet to its fullest extent based on its requirements. In almost all areas, internet is proved to be a boon. But sometimes it lands the users into trouble because of unwanted and uninvited harmful software applications. There are so many types of threats and challenges that are faced by the internet users. Out of all the threats faced by internet users, botnets are at the top most position. Because of these prodigious threats botnets are the rising area of research. Botnet works as a coordinated or synchronized activity where different bots collectively participate to perform a malicious task. The botnet is different from other form of malware in its capability to compromise the computer systems or smartphones to set up a link with command and control(C&C) server controlled by bot controller. Because of the massive participation of compromised machines the losses caused by botnet attack are immeasurable. As a result, different researchers are showing keen interest in the field of botnets. The trend reflects that the number of researches in this field have gone up at tremendous rate in past 5 to 10 years. The present paper proposes a framework to systematically identify the presence of malicious bot, prevent it from spreading further and performing its forensic investigation.
