CONTEXT-AWARE SOFTWARE SYSTEMS: TOWARD A DIAGRAMMATIC MODELING FOUNDATION

Over the last three decades, research in the area of context-aware computing has involved many different prototypes, systems, and solutions. Context-aware computing is concerned with the acquisition of context, the abstraction and understanding of context, and application behavior based on recognized context. One of the challenges of context-aware computing is difficulty in rethinking of domain models. The problem discussed in this paper is how to model a “context” and how this model influences the design of information system software. In the software development life cycle, this problem falls in the phase of requirements analysis and design. This paper proposes a new approach to modeling “context” in the design of information systems, using flow-based diagrams that could play a role in the design of context-aware systems.
Interpersonal trust to enhance cyber crisis management

In the field of cyber-security, software performance optimization is a major focus of research to better prevent cyber threats. However, once threats are detected, they have to be managed by a human operator or more often by human operators' joint actions. The purpose of this study is to show that in these collaborative situations, the interpersonal trust level between these actors shapes their handling of the threat. Forty-five participants performed, with twenty-eight different fictive teammates, a collaborative counting task that included aleatory phases of jamming. Each fictive teammate was described through two adjectives selected to induce a predefined level of interpersonal trust (low or high). The subject and his collaborator worked on different systems with different objects to count and different jamming phases. Nevertheless, each participant had the possibility of supervising his teammate's work by checking out his task and modifying his answers (number of targets and jamming events reported) if required. The subject was responsible for validating the team's final result. The experimental data show that, in this type of collaborative task, the interpersonal trust level has indeed an influence on the supervision strategy used and the team performance.
Coaches’ perspectives on sport-plus programmes for underserved youth: An exploratory study in South Africa

Increasing global awareness and a growing appreciation for sport for development programmes has led the postapartheid South African government to use sport as a tool for empowering marginalized and impoverished communities. However, the sport for development programmes that have received the greatest governmental support and been evaluated by researchers have been “topdown” development projects, which have been criticised for a variety of reasons (e.g., not addressing actual community needs). This study was designed in response to this concern, with five focus groups conducted with 19 South African coaches. It was conducted in an effort to hear the voices of coaches operating at the ground level with sport for development programmes, leading to a better understanding of three key areas: (a) the realities of the sport setting, (b) the experiences of coaches and young people in these underserved communities, and (c) what approach to take when designing, implementing, and evaluating sport for development programmes. Practical implications for parents, coaches, and sport for development programme providers are also discussed, including the strategies used to keep children and youth involved in sport and coaches’ recommendations for improvements in sport within underserved South African communities (e.g., joint topdown and inside-up programmes; specific improvements for coaching education programmes).
SPATIAL DIVERSITY TECHNIQUES FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

-Wireless communication has highest growth-rate in last decade[1]. Today, due to different coding and encryption techniques, security is not so much major issue for wireless communication. But modern communication systems are capacity limited[2][3], not interference or coverage limited. Spatial diversity techniques like SISO, SIMO, MISO and MIMO gives improved spectral efficiency and better capacity and coverage to cellular communication with limited bandwidth. BER is used as a tool to compare all of these four techniques and MIMO found to be best among four[4],[5],[6].
Propinquity Market Behavior of Nifty and Sectoral Indices of NSE

The development of stock markets in India in the last two decades has been incredible and a study in terms of volatility effect have been perceptible in the current globalization era. Contemplating on the propinquity linkage of Nifty and its Sectoral indices, the area of study unexplored and hence the study pertains to this perspective. Analysis of stock market for the evaluation of risk and return has received lot of attention both from the view point of the policy makers and the researchers. The quality of risk measure largely depends on the effect of capturing the behavior of the underlying asset, hence it is inevitable to employ the heteroscedasticity models to study the volatility of the Indian stock market. The study has applied the ARCH, GARCH, and TGARCH models to measure the intensity of risk behavior of stocks and concludes that the GARCH (1,1) model has satisfactorily explained the volatility clustering and its persistence of NSE Nifty index converging with the selected sectoral indices of the National Stock Exchange stocks representing the Indian stock market industry.
Ensemble of Multi Feature Layers in CNN for Facial Expression Recognition using Deep Learning

Facial Expression Recognition is an important undertaking for the machinery to recognize different expressive alterations in individual. Emotions have a strong relationship with our behavior. Human emotions are discrete reactions to inside or outside occasions which have some importance meaning. Involuntary sentiment detection is a process to understand the individual’s expressive state to identify his intensions from facial expression which is also a noteworthy piece of non-verbal correspondence. In this paper we propose a Framework that combines discriminative features discovered using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to enhance the performance and accuracy of Facial Expression Recognition. For this we have implemented Inception V3 pre-trained architecture of CNN and then applying concatenation of intermediate layer with final layer which is further passing through fully connected layer to perform classification. We have used JAFFE (Japanese Female Facial Expression) Dataset for this purpose and Experimental results show that our proposed method shows better performance and improve the recognition accuracy.
Allometric constraints on stability and maximum size in flying fishes: implications for their evolution

Flying fish wing area and wing-loading both rise in strongly negative allometric fashion with increasing body length and mass. Evidence is presented to show that this occurs because: (1) the leading edge of the pectoral fin 'wing' is fixed at 24% of standard length (L S ) from the snout (2) the wing length cannot exceed 76% of L S or the tips will interfere with propulsive tail beat and (3) increased mass demands faster flying and wings with better lift : drag ratios: this selects for tapered, higher aspect ratio wing shapes. A consequence of this situation is that larger flying fishes have centres of mass increasingly further behind the centre of wing pressure. Resultant longitudinal instability restricts the maximum size of the two-winged design and the pelvic fins of four-wingers act as a stabilizing tailplane. These data indicate that the accepted model of evolution of flight in flying fishes (by extension of ballistic leaps) is flawed; it is proposed that evolution of lift-supported surface taxiing in half-beaks with enlarged pectoral fins (enhanced by ground effect) was an essential preliminary. subsequent forward migration of the centre of mass to within the wing chord permitted effective gliding.
Structural Changes of T4 Lysozyme upon Adsorption to Silica Nanoparticles Measured by Circular Dichroism

The change in the secondary structure of T4 lysozyme upon adsorption to silica particles was studied with circular dichroism. Two different mutants of the protein along with the wild type were investigated. The mutants differ from wild type by substitution of isoleucine for cysteine or tryptophan at position 3 and were chosen to represent a range of stability as quantified by their energies of thermal unfolding. The mutants differ in ΔG, at 65°C and pH 6.5, compared to the wild-type enzyme with -2.8 and 1.2 kcal/mol for the tryptophan and cysteine mutants, respectively. After adsorption to 9-nm silica nanoparticles for 90 min, a large change in the spectrum was observed for the less stable tryptophan mutant, while the changes were smaller for the wild type and the cysteine mutant. The spectral changes before and after adsorption corresponded to a calculated loss of α-helix of 12% for the wild type, 9% for the cysteine mutant, and 29% for the tryptophan mutant. Structural changes during adsorption of the proteins were also followed kinetically at 222 nm. The rate of conformational change differed among the three proteins and was fastest for the tryptophan mutant. In the case of the tryptophan mutant the time required for half of the measured change to occur was approximately 5 min, while for the cysteine mutant and the wild-type T4 lysozyme more than 10 min was required.
PALEOCLIMATIC AND MATERIAL CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE FORMATIVE PERIOD OF NORTHERN CHILE

El desarrollo reciente de una metodologia de modelos paleoclimaticos macrofisicos permiten la construccion de modelos sitios especificos de precipitacion y temperaturas del Holoceno con una resolucion temporal de 200 anos intervalos hasta 14.000 anos AP. Tambien se modela, cuando es apropiado y a la disponibilidad, datos analogos modernos de lluvias, intensidad, y evapotranspiracion. Modelos de este tipo sugieren que las condiciones hiper aridas que se encuentran hoy en la area de Arica en Chile persistieron a traves de los ultimos 10.000 anos. Los agricultores temprano debio depender de la precipitacion del altiplano y del derretimiento de nieve en lugar de lluvia local, como hoy en dia. Los modelos de cambio paleoclimatico en el sitio cerca a la cabecera de agua del valle Azapa es considerada en relacion a su probable impacto a la disponibilidad de agua cerca de la costa. Visiones acerca de la cultura material del Periodo Formativo que resultaron de un re-analisis resiente de las colecciones mortuorios del sitio interior AZ-71 son entonces consideradas en luz de las reconstrucciones paleoambientales
Artificial visual obstruction, antipredator vigilance, and predator detection in the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus)

Antipredator vigilance behaviour is affected by a number of variables, but studies reporting experimental manipulation of visual obstructions are generally lacking in the literature. We examined the individual antipredator behaviour of free-ranging thirteen-lined ground squirrels in 7 city parks in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA as they fed on peanut butter within small plexiglass boxes. Boxes differed in the position and amount of visual occlusion for a squirrel feeding in it: opaque, clear, opaque-sides, and opaque-top (also opaque on the end). We experimentally controlled environmental and contextual variables that have been identified as affecting vigilance behaviour. We filmed 38 ground squirrels as they fed in the boxes, and the results indicate that ground squirrels treat lateral occlusion as functionally identical to complete occlusion. Additionally, there were no significant differences in the squirrels' behaviours in the clear versus the opaque-top box. In 35 approach tests, a person walked toward individual ground squirrels as they foraged in one of the 4 box types. The distance at which the squirrels reacted did not differ among the 4 box types. The results of these two experiments suggest that thirteen-lined ground squirrels compensate for visual occlusion, primarily through increased withdrawals coupled with low-level vigilance postures and that the position of visual occlusion can be of greater importance than the absolute amount of occlusion.
New aspect on etiology and therapy of collagen diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis is manipu lated throughout prostate epithelium neoplastic transformation to promote tumor growth, survival, and invasive metastasis. Natural and synthetic compounds that can target the IGF axis to prevent or reverse the aberrations associated with prostate cancer development and progression may be extremely useful in the chemoprevention and/or chemotherapy of prostate cancer. Apigenin, a naturally-occurring plant flavone found in many fruits and vegetables, is one such compound that can correctively modulate the IGF axis to induce growth arrest and apoptosis in many pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo models of prostate cancer. Because of its known mechanism of action and low toxicity and high effectiveness at physiologically relevant doses in animal models of prostate cancer, apigenin is an excellent candidate for a cl inical pilot study to determine the effect of oral apigenin supplementation on prostate cancer development and progression in humans .
The evolution of mating systems in a group of brooding sea anemones (Epiactis)

Summary The sea anemone genus Epiactis provides an unusually good opportunity to study the evolution of brooding and mating systems. The four Epiactis species on the Pacific coast of North America all brood their offspring up to the juvenile stage, but each has a different combination of internal vs. external brooding and gonochory vs. simultaneous or gynodioecious hermaphroditism. Two of the four species (E. prolifera and E. lisbethae) were indistinguishable with allozymes (20 loci), but could be differentiated using multilocus DNA fingerprinting. Phylogenetic analyses of the allozyme data by distance and parsimony methods using three outgroups suggest that the four nominal Epiactis species are polyphyletic, with the two internal brooders evolving independently of the two external brooders. This topology does not allow inferences about the evolutionary order of hermaphroditism, dioecy and gynodioecy. Separate sexes and obligate outcrossing are of ten believed to be ancestral, with hermaphroditism and the.
Drug delivery options and therapeutic advances in the management of erectile dysfunction

ABSTRACT Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. It is estimated that 20–30% of adult men will have at least one episode of ED during their lifetime and the prevalence increases with age. ED is known to have significant negative psychological implications for men, resulting in impaired functional status and a greater prevalence of anxiety and depression. Areas covered Medications for the treatment of erectile dysfunction largely revolve around oral, injection, and topical therapies. Though all three modalities are widely used, each delivery option has its own advantages and specific indications. Likewise, there are several new developing treatments for ED that may change the landscape of treatment. The goal of this review is to summarize contemporary drug delivery options used in the treatment of ED and highlight future promising pharmacological developments. Expert opinion There are a myriad of new developments on the horizon including new PDE5Is and drug targets, nanotechnology enhancements, stem cell and gene therapy, shockwave therapy, and platelet-rich plasma injections. These are all promising new methods to not only treat ED but also to address the pathology and prevent or eliminate further damage.
MODIFIED AMBIENT TEMPERATURE PERCEPTION AFFECTS DAILY ACTIVITY PATTERNS IN THE EUROPEAN GROUND SQUIRREL (SPERMOPHILUS CITELLUS)

Abstract Animals adapted to extreme environmental conditions often show rhythmic activity with stable periodicity. We studied the daily activity pattern of European ground squirrels (Spermophilus citellus) to determine effects of environmental factors on this pattern. Activity was evaluated by counting the number of squirrels visible above ground in 3 manipulated groups. To test the hypothesis that midday air temperature contributes to the bimodal activity pattern, we manipulated ambient temperature perception by altering the coloration of their head fur. Significantly fewer dark-headed squirrels were visible on the surface in midday on sunny days than were light-headed animals. Because ambient temperature perception is strongly affected by the darkness of the top of the head, we concluded that extremely high midday ambient temperatures play a central role in contributing to the observed midday rest phase in ground squirrels.
A Multimetric Health Literacy Analysis of Online Information for Gluteal Augmentation With Fat Grafting.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons the number of gluteal augmentations with fat grafting, colloquially known as the "Brazilian buttock lift" (BBL), doubled from 2014 to 2018. Recent studies have demonstrated that gluteal augmentation with fat grafting has a higher mortality rate when compared with other esthetic surgeries. We hypothesize that online patient-directed information for gluteal augmentation are overly complex, written at an elevated reading grade level, with incomplete or no information regarding associated surgical risks. OBJECTIVE To perform an objective appraisal of the most popular online patient education materials for gluteal augmentation surgery and explore potential interventions for improving material quality. METHODS An online Google search using the term "Brazilian butt lift" was performed and the top 10 websites providing relevant information were identified. Readability for each website was determined using Readability Studio. Understandability, actionability and cultural sensitivity was assessed with validated tools by 2 independent raters. RESULTS The top 10 websites were written at a mean reading grade level of 13.0, appropriate for a high school graduate. No website was written at the American Medical Association and the National Institutes of Health recommended 6th to 8th grade reading level. Mean understandability and actionability scores of 51% and 18.9%, respectively, suggest significant room for improvement. The average cultural sensitivity assessment tool score was 2.30, below the recommended threshold for acceptability of 2.5. Ninety percent of all websites did not meet the threshold for cultural acceptability. CONCLUSIONS Online patient education materials for gluteal augmentation with fat grafting were written at an inappropriately elevated reading grade level and were overly complex, did not promote reader action, and were not sensitive to the needs of the target demographic.
Polysaccharide-Based pH-Responsive Nanocapsules Prepared with Bio-Orthogonal Chemistry and Their Use as Responsive Delivery Systems

Bio-orthogonal reactions have become an essential tool to prepare biomaterials; for example, in the synthesis of nanocarriers, bio-orthogonal chemistry allows circumventing common obstacles related to the encapsulation of delicate payloads or the occurrence of uncontrolled side reactions, which significantly limit the range of potential payloads to encapsulate. Here, we report a new approach to prepare pH-responsive nanocarriers using dynamic bio-orthogonal chemistry. The reaction between a poly(hydrazide) crosslinker and functionalized polysaccharides was used to form a pH-responsive hydrazone network. The network formation occurred at the interface of aqueous nanodroplets in miniemulsion and led to the production of nanocapsules that were able to encapsulate payloads of different molecular weights. The resulting nanocapsules displayed low cytotoxicity and were able to release the encapsulated payload, in a controlled manner, under mildly acidic conditions.
SOIL CHANGES AFTER FORTY YEARS OF SUCCESSION IN AN ABANDONED COPPICE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Soil processes over forty years of woodland succession were studied in the abandoned coppices of the Děvin Nature Reserve, in the south-east of the Czech Republic. A total of 113 horizon samples from 34 profiles were taken in the 1960s and 2000s, following identical field and laboratory approaches, to characterize soil texture, contents of carbonates and organic matter, and soil reaction (pH/H 2 O, pH/KCl). Changes in the soil properties were discussed in relation to the gradual development of the mature woodland that replaced the former intensively managed ancient coppice. Four soil types (Luvisols, Regosols, Leptosols and Chernozems) and their horizons were statistically treated to identify distributions/shifts in the measured values from the past to the present. The following results were obtained: (1) The horizontal transport and sedimentation of sandy calcareous particles into the Leptosols topsoil led to increased acidity. (2) In Luvisols, the same was detected for fine clayey particles. This can be.
Effects of Chemical Phosphorylation of Bovine Casein Components on the Properties Related to Casein Micelle Formation

Bovine casein components (αsl-, β-, and κ-caseins) were chemically phosphorylated and the properties of the modified components were compared with those of the native to clarify the function of the intrinsic phosphate groups of casein components in casein micelle formation. The calcium binding ability of casein components increased after chemical phosphorylation. The concentrations of calcium chloride required to precipitate modified αsl- and β-caseins were higher than those for native components. However, phosphorylation of αsl- and β-caseins did not affect their properties of forming micelles through interaction with κ-casein. The stabilizing ability of κ-casein for αsl- and β caseins was impaired by its phosphorylation, but the stability was recovered by treating phosphorylated κ-casein with phosphoprotein phosphatase. The results show that the phosphate content of κ-casein must be low to form a stable casein micelle. The results also explain why the specific phosphorylation of casein components in the.
