Comparative Study of Mobility Quality and Walking Parameters in Children with ADHD and Normal Controls

Background: Children with ADHD suffer from movement disorders in addition to hyperactivity and attention deficits. Objectives: To investigate specific indices related to mobility factors, static and active mobility factors were studied in children with ADHD and normal controls. Methods: 32 children, 16 diagnosed as ADHD and 16 normally developed school-age controls, participated in the research. Static and active mobility factors were assessed using a balance master device, and data were analyzed using the repeated test method. Results: Parameters, including fluctuation, range, speed at center of mobility, and side control under six sensory conditions differed significantly between ADHD and control groups. However, no significant differences were observed between the two groups on the seven mobility factors, including step coordination and frequency range in the walking and tandem walk tests. Conclusions: Static mobility patterns are the most problematic issues in children with ADHD.
A novel method for estimating the parameter of a Gaussian AR(1) process with additive outliers

A novel estimator for a Gaussian first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) process with additive outliers is presented. A recursive median adjustment based on an  -trimmed mean was applied to the weighted symmetric estimator. The following estimators were considered: the weighted symmetric estimator ( ˆ W  ), the recursive-mean-adjusted weighted
Monophyly and phylogenetic origin of the gall crab family Cryptochiridae (Decapoda : Brachyura)

Abstract. The enigmatic gall crab family Cryptochiridae has been proposed to be phylogenetically derived from within the Grapsidae (subsection Thoracotremata), based on the analysis of 16S mtDNA of one cryptochirid, Hapalocarcinus marsupialis, among a wide array of thoracotremes, including 12 species of the family Grapsidae. Here, we test the monophyly and phylogenetic position of Cryptochiridae using the same gene, but with an extended representation of cryptochirids spanning nine species in eight of 21 genera, in addition to further thoracotreme representatives. The results show that gall crabs form a highly supported monophyletic clade within the Thoracotremata, which evolved independently of grapsid crabs. Therefore, the Cryptochiridae should not be considered as highly modified Grapsidae, but as an independent lineage of Thoracotremata, deserving its current family rank. Further molecular and morphological studies are needed to elucidate the precise placement of the cryptochirids within the Eubrachyura.
Activation of Antitumorigenic Stat3beta in Breast Cancer by Splicing Redirection

Abstract : Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcription factor constitutively active in a large number of tumors, where it works as a central player in the activation of multiple oncogenic pathways and contributes to the proliferative state, the migratory and invasive potential and to the maintenance of the mesenchymal phenotype. STAT3 therefore constitutes a potential prime target for directed cancer therapies. A naturally occurring alternative splicing variant, STAT3 , uses an alternative acceptor site within exon 23 and leads to the production of a truncated isoform, which lacks the C-terminal trans-activation domain (TAD). Depending on context, STAT3 can act as a dominant negative regulator of transcription and promote apoptosis. We have used modified antisense oligonucleotides to specifically induce a shift of expression from the abundant, active STAT3a to the truncated STAT3 isoform. Induction of the endogenous STAT3 leads to decreased cell viability in cell lines with persistent STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation, compared to full STAT3 knock-down obtained by Forced Splicing-Dependent Nonsense-Mediated Decay (FSD-NMD). Furthermore, comparison of the molecular effects of splicing redirection to STAT3 knock-down reveals a unique STAT3b transcriptional signature, with the downregulation of specific target genes (including LEDGF, PCAF, Cyclin C, PEX1 and STAT1b) distinct from canonical STAT3 genes typically associated to total STAT3 knock-down. Here we propose to screen a next generation panel of antisense compounds, to reprogram STAT3 splicing in cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, in different genetic and orthotopic mouse models, to establish a working model system to test the approach.

Role of Endophytes in Agriculture

Presently, there are nearly seven billion people living in the world and this number is undeniably estimated to increase to about 8.2 billion around 2025. Due to increase in population, environmental damage is increasing as a result of fast growth in industrialization and urbanization [1]. The enormous use of chemical fertilizers in crops makes the country independent in providing large amount of food supply but on the other hand damages the environment to a great extent and causes harmful impacts on health of human and animals. Seeing all the consequences of continuous use of chemical fertilizers, organic farming has emerged as alternative area in terms of increasing demand of healthy food supply, long-term sustainability, and concerns regarding environmental pollution. “A biofertilizer is an inoculant which contains living microorganisms which when applied to seeds, plants, or soil, colonizes the rhizosphere or the interior of the plants and promotes plant growth by increasing the supply of nutrients to the host plant” [2]. Endophytic bacteria have an advantage over other rhizosphere inhabiting bacteria because they are residing inside plant cell so have an opportunity to readily exert direct beneficial effects to plants. Endophytes are extensively used to boost up microbial processes which increase the availability of nutrients that can be easily assimilated by the plants for their growth. These microbes improve soil fertility by fixing the atmospheric nitrogen, produce plant growthpromoting substances in the soil and solubilizing insoluble potassium and phosphates. These microbes have been encouraged to reap the naturally available biological system of nutrient mobilization which enormously increases soil fertility and crop yield [3]. Use of endophytic bacteria presents a special interest for development of agricultural applications that ensure improved crop performance under cold, draught or contaminated soil stress conditions or enhanced disease resistance.
SEARCH FOR TIME VARIATION OF THE FINE STRUCTURE CONSTANT

An order of magnitude sensitivity gain is described for using quasar spectra to investigate possible time or space variation in the fine structure constant $\ensuremath{\alpha}$. Applied to a sample of 30 absorption systems, spanning redshifts $0.5lzl1. 6$, we derive limits on variations in $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ over a wide range of epochs. For the whole sample, $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\alpha}/\ensuremath{\alpha}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}(\ensuremath{-}1.1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.4)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$. This deviation is dominated by measurements at $zg1$, where $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\alpha}/\ensuremath{\alpha}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}(\ensuremath{-}1.9\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$. For $zl1$, $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\alpha}/\ensuremath{\alpha}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}(\ensuremath{-}0.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.4)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$. While this is consistent with a time-varying $\ensuremath{\alpha}$, further work is required to explore possible systematic errors in the data, although careful searches have so far revealed none.
Schooling and youth participation in education and society

Economic and social changes have made a solid educational foundation more important than ever before. Young people with low levels of literacy and numeracy or who do not complete school or a vocational equivalent are more likely to experience multiple periods of time outside the workforce and are less likely to engage in further education or training after leaving school. The lack of engagement in further learning increases the ongoing risks of not being employed and social marginalisation. Employment is projected to continue growing much more quickly in occupations that require post-school qualifications than in lower skilled occupations. However, Australia’s secondary school completion rates are low relative to many other OECD countries, and apparent retention rates to Year 12 have changed little over the past decade. This paper uses longitudinal data to examine the role that schooling plays in influencing young people’s educational intentions, and their likelihood of completing secondary school and participating in post-school education and training. It finds that engagement in school and positive attitudes towards school contribute to the completion of secondary school and participation in tertiary education, over and above the effects of literacy and numeracy. Most of the social background factors associated with school completion operate by influencing intentions that are formed by relatively early in secondary school. This implies that policies to increase school completion rates cannot rely just on changes in Years 10-12, but also need to focus on what happens early in school.
Yield and Fruit Quality of Florida Prince Peach Trees as affected by Foliar and Soil applications of Humic Acid

Florida Prince peach trees grown under calcareous soil conditions were treated with humic acid (in form of Hammer as a commercial product) as foliar and/or soil application. The treatments were arranged as follows: (1) control (spraying water only) (2) Soil application at 0.25% (3) Foliar spray at 0.25% (4) Soil application at 0.50 % (5) Foliar spray at 0.50 % (6) Soil application at 0.25% + foliar spray 0.25% (T2+T3) (7) Soil application at 0.50% + foliar spray at 0.50% (T4+T5). All Treatments were applied after fruit set and repeated 4 times at 15 days intervals. Results show that, Foliar and/or soil application of humic acid had a positive effect on yield, fruit quality, leaf chlorophylls as well as leaf mineral content of NPK. Humic acid application as foliar spray combined with soil application at 0.50% for both is the promising treatment for improving growth and fruit quality of Florida Prince peach trees.
Ozone variability in the troposphere and the stratosphere from the first 6 years of IASI observations (2008–2013)

In this paper, we assess how daily ozone (O3) measurements from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) on MetOp-A platform can contribute to the analyses of the processes driving O3 variability in the troposphere and the stratosphere and, in the future, to the monitoring of long-term trends. The time development of O3 during the first 6 years of IASI (2008–2013) operation is investigated with multivariate regressions separately in four different layers (ground–300, 300–150, 150–25, 25–3 hPa), by adjusting to the daily time series averaged in 20° zonal bands, seasonal and linear trend terms along with important geophysical drivers of O3 variation (e.g. solar flux, quasi biennial oscillations). The regression model is shown to perform generally very well with a strong dominance of the annual harmonic terms and significant contributions from O3 drivers, in particular in the equatorial region where the QBO and the solar flux contribution dominate. More particularly, despite the short period of IASI dataset available to now, two noticeable statistically significant apparent trends are inferred from the daily IASI measurements: a positive trend in the upper stratosphere (e.g. 1.74 ± 0.77 DU yr−1 between 30–50° S) which is consistent with the turnaround for stratospheric O3 recovery, and a negative trend in the troposphere at the mid-and high northern latitudes (e.g. −0.26 ± 0.11 DU yr−1 between 30–50° N), especially during summer and probably linked to the impact of decreasing ozone precursor emissions. The impact of the high temporal sampling of IASI on the uncertainty in the determination of O3 trend has been further explored by performing multivariate regressions on IASI monthly averages and on ground-based FTIR measurements.
The effects of sound on the survivorship and embryonic development of a marine gastropod Stylocheilus striatus, (aplysiidae)

How anthropogenic noise pollution affects marine organisms is drawing increasing international concern. There is evidence for anthropogenic noise having negative and harmful effects on the health, development and behavior of many terrestrial species; however, there are few examples of how specific frequencies of sound affect the survivorship and embryonic development of marine invertebrates. This experiment examines the effects of specific frequencies of sound on the survivorship and embryonic development of a marine gastropod, Stylocheilus striatus on the island of Mo’orea, French Polynesia. It was found that high frequency sound treatments caused a delay in the embryonic development of S. striatus embryos by 3 days while decreasing veliger survivorship by 37%. Additionally, high frequency treatments were shown to cause an observed morphological difference in shell morphology as compared to control and low frequency treatment groups. This study can be used to aid in the management and planning of future conservation polices regarding sound pollution and marine invertebrate gastropods as their presence is crucial for reef health and community structure.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF EXTRACTS FROM COMBRETUM HARTMANNIANUM AND GUIERA SENEGALENSIS ON THE OXIDATIVE STABILITY OF SUNFLOWER OIL

This study was carried out to investigate the total phenolic compounds beside the potential antioxidant activity of Guiera senegalensis and Combretum hartmannianum extracts. The content of total phenolics in the extracts was determined spectrometrically according to the Folin-Ciocalteu procedure and calculated as gallic acid equivalents (GAE). The antioxidative activities by beta-carotene linoleic acid and DPPH methods of extracts from Guiera senegalensis leaves, (GSL), Guiera senegalensis roots (GSR) and Combretum hartmannianum leaves (CHL), were evaluated in sunflower oil in the dark at 70°C. Total phenolic compounds were 240.1, 275.6 and 253.4 mg/g respectively. The methanolic extracts of (GSL), (GSR) and (CHL), were markedly effective in inhibiting the oxidation of linoleic acid and subsequent bleaching of s-carotene in comparison with the control. Plants extracts (500 mg) effectively inhibited the formation of peroxides in sunflower oil and showed the highest antioxidative activity compared with 20 mg BHA. The GSL extract is the most effective followed by the GSR and CHL extract. The antioxidant activity of the extracts measured by DPPH free radical showed high reduction of 50% DPPH in CHL extract followed by GSR and GSL. Clear differences were found between the control and sunflower oil containing C. hartmannianum and G. senegalensis extracts or BHA, which decreased and slowed the rate of peroxide formation resulting in lower PVs after 96 h of storage at 70 °C.
3D simulations of rising magnetic flux tubes in a compressible rotating interior: The effect of magnetic tension

Context: Long-term variability in solar cycles represents a challenging constraint for theoretical models. Mean-field Babcock-Leighton dynamos that consider non-instantaneous rising flux tubes have been shown to exhibit long-term variability in their magnetic cycle. However a relation that parameterizes the rise-time of non-axisymmetric magnetic flux tubes in terms of stellar parameters is still missing. Aims: We aim to find a general parameterization of the rise-time of magnetic flux tubes for solar-like stars. Methods: By considering the influence of magnetic tension on the rise of non-axisymmetric flux tubes, we predict the existence of a control parameter referred as $\Gamma_{\alpha_1}^{\alpha_2}$. This parameter is a measure of the balance between rotational effects and magnetic effects (buoyancy and tension) acting on the magnetic flux tube. We carry out two series of numerical experiments (one for axisymmetric rise and one for non-axisymmetric rise) and demonstrate that $\Gamma_{\alpha_1}^{\alpha_2}$ indeed controls the rise-time of magnetic flux tubes. Results: We find that the rise-time follows a power law of $\Gamma_{\alpha_1}^{\alpha_2}$ with an exponent that depends on the azimuthal wavenumber of the magnetic flux loop. Conclusions: Compressibility does not impact the rise of magnetic flux tubes, while non-axisymmetry does. In the case of non-axisymmetric rise, the tension force modifies the force balance acting on the magnetic flux tube. We identified the three independent parameters required to predict the rise-time of magnetic flux tubes, that is, the stellar rotation rate, the magnetic flux density of the flux tube, and its azimuthal wavenumber. We combined these into one single relation that is valid for any solar-like star. We suggest using this generalized relation to constrain the rise-time of magnetic flux tubes in Babcock-Leighton dynamo models.
Effect of Hydrogen Inlet Pressure Analysis on open Voltage of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel cell by using Periodogram

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel cell (PEMFC) is one of the renewable energy system that was recently highlighted by researchers. PEM fuel cell generates electricity through the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. Finite changes in the reactant inlet properties leads to unique operating changes within the fuel cell stack. The effect of hydrogen inlet pressure to the operating voltage has been detailed before using a variation of monitoring techniques. Identification analysis is required to monitor every factor that influences the performance characteristic of PEMFC. Periodogram monitoring technique applies a frequency domain waveform signal capable of tracing small changes in the phase behaviour of electrical operations as external parameters are varied. The use of this technique is provided in this paper within the scope of monitoring the signal changes in the open voltage of a 30Watt (W) PEM fuel cell stack as the hydrogen inlet pressure is varied from 0.1 bar to 0.5 bar. The open voltage increases with rise in hydrogen inlet pressure and the Periodogram amplitude signal increases accordingly. Then, the magnitudes of total tolerance voltage, the signal characteristic of direct current voltage (VDC), root means square voltage (VRMS), and alternating current voltage (VAC) were calculated from the voltage waveform where losses could be identified. Therefore, the Periodogram technique has been proven useful and practical in monitoring operation changes of a PEM fuel cell stack.
THE INFLUENCE OF REAL ACTIVITY EARNINGS MANAGEMENT TOWARD FIRM’S FUTURE OPERATING CASHFLOW IN INDONESIAN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES

The financial reporting has an objective to summarize financial performance of the company periodically. One indicator from the financial reporting that commonly used to assess performance is earnings. Stakeholders used earnings in measuring management’s performance, determining executive compensation, assessing firms’ future prospects to make resource allocations, and firm valuation decisions. Therefore, managers are keen to show better reported earnings in their financial report. In order to achieve the targeted income or to show better reported earnings in their financial report, even though the company doesn't performing really good, commonly managers are tend to manipulate earnings. In manufacturing industry, one feasible method of earnings manipulation is through real earnings management. Real earnings management that has been done by the manager will give direct impact on decreasing the ability of the financial report in predicting the future profitability of the company and, thus, may disadvantaging for the investor and any other stakeholder. The measurement of future profitability can be done by calculating the company’s future operating cashflow. This study aims to prove empirically whether there are significant influence of real earnings management towards firm’s future operating cashflow during the year 2009 until 2012, especially for manufacturing companies listed in Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) that selected with some criteria. There are three kinds of real earnings management that examined by this research, those are: sales manipulation, overproduction and reduction of discretionary expense. The statistical method used in the research is regression analysis. From the testing and data analysis, it is revealed that real earnings management has negative impact toward future operating cashflow.
PERFORMANCE BASED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF STEEL MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES INCORPORATING SEISMIC DEMAND AND CONNECTION PARAMETERS UNCERTAINTIES

One of the most important problems discussed recently in structural engineering is the structural reliability analysis considering uncertainties. To have an efficient optimization process for designing a safe structure, firstly it is required to study the effects of uncertainties on the seismic performance of structure and then incorporate these effects on the optimization process. In this study, a new procedure developed for incorporating two important sources of uncertainties in design optimization process of steel moment resisting frames, is proposed. The first source is related to the connection parameter uncertainties and the second one to seismic demand uncertainty. Additionally Mont Carlo (MC) simulation and a variance reduction technique (VRT) are utilized to deal with uncertainties and to reduce the corresponding computational cost. In the proposed procedure two design objectives are considered, which are structural weight and collapse prevention reliability index for a moment resisting frame in such a way that leads to a set of optimum designs with minimum weight and less possible amounts of sensitivity to connection parameters uncertainties and spectral acceleration uncertainty as seismic demand variation. Additionally, in this procedure the reliability index is computed considering all FEMA-356 performance acceptance criteria, the approach that has never been investigated in other studies. The efficiency of this approach is illustrated by exhibiting a set of optimum designs, in the form of both objective values and investigating nonlinear behavior of optimum designs compared with non-optimum designs. This procedure is introduced in this paper with emphasize on the collapse limit state and applying pushover analysis for studying the nonlinear behavior of structural elements.
