Bifurcation and Upwelling of the Equatorial Undercurrent West of the Galápagos Archipelago

The Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) encounters the Galápagos Archipelago on the equator as it flows eastward across the Pacific. The impact of the Galápagos Archipelago on the EUC in the eastern equatorial Pacific remains largely unknown. In this study, the path of the EUC as it reaches the Galápagos Archipelago is measured directly using high-resolution observations obtained by autonomous underwater gliders. Gliders were deployed along three lines that define a closed region with the Galápagos Archipelago as the eastern boundary and 93°W from 2°S to 2°N as the western boundary. Twelve transects were simultaneously occupied along the three lines during 52 days in April–May 2016. Analysis of individual glider transects and average sections along each line show that the EUC splits around the Galápagos Archipelago. Velocity normal to the transects is used to estimate net horizontal volume transport into the volume. Downward integration of the net horizontal transport profile provides an estimate of the time- and areal-averaged vertical velocity profile over the 52-day time period. Local maxima in vertical velocity occur at depths of 25 and 280 m with magnitudes of (1.7 ± 0.6) × 10−5 m s−1 and (8.0 ± 1.6) × 10−5 m s−1, respectively. Volume transport as a function of salinity indicates that water crossing 93°W south (north) of 0.4°S tends to flow around the south (north) side of the Galápagos Archipelago. Comparisons are made between previous observational and modeling studies with differences attributed to effects of the strong 2015/16 El Niño event, the annual cycle of local winds, and varying longitudes between studies of the equatorial Pacific.
Management of Service Level Agreements for Big Data Analytics Applications in Cloud: A Layer-based Study

Nowadays, deployment and operation of big data analytics applications (BDAAs) in cloud are increasingly becoming a trending practice. These applications offer organizations the capabilities of constructing valuable information and extracting actionable insight for enhancing the evidence-based decision-making process. Many leading providers such as Google and Amazon provision such analytics capabilities in the form of service to customers in a pay-per-use economic model. In today’s competitive world, the potential business values of these applications depend a lot on the quality of service offered by providers. Hence, to gain competitive advantages, providers need to be more customer-focused and proactive in their marketing strategies not only to create customers awareness of their services but also meet customers’ best expectations for service quality. That is to say, providers must provide the required and promised services, and the services must satisfy users’ requirements, such as availability, scalability, elasticity, and so on. Given these circumstances, it is very important and necessary for efficient methods to manage and guarantee the quality of service promised. Service Level Agreement (SLA) that represents the contract between providers and customers which captures the agreed upon guarantees regarding the quality of service is one of the effective methods. SLAs play an integral role in governing the relationships between providers and customers in the context of these applications in cloud. Besides setting the expectations by dictating the quality and the type of service, SLAs are also increasingly considered as a strong differentiator allowing a provider to offer different levels of service guarantees and to differentiate itself from its competitors. Therefore, how to manage SLAs for cloud-hosted big data analytics application (BDAAs) in ensuring SLA guarantee has become a crucial and essential aspect. However, the management of SLAs for cloud-hosted BDAAs is extremely challenging due to the increased complexities and uncertainties imposed by the applications. For instance, the applications usually span heterogeneous and distributed software frameworks across multiple layers, which considerably impacts the allocation and configuration of
A Signal-Processing Neural Model Based on Biological Retina

Image signal processing has considerable value in artificial intelligence. However, due to the diverse disturbance (e.g., color, noise), the image signal processing, especially the representation of the signal, remains a big challenge. In the human visual system, it has been justified that simple cells in the primary visual cortex are obviously sensitive to vision signals with partial orientation features. In other words, the image signals are extracted and described along the pathway of visual processing. Inspired by this neural mechanism of the primary visual cortex, it is possible to build an image signal-processing model as the neural architecture. In this paper, we presented a method to process the image signal involving a multitude of disturbance. For image signals, we first extracted 4 rivalry pathways via the projection of color. Secondly, we designed an algorithm in which the computing process of the stimulus with partial orientation features can be altered into a process of analytical geometry, resulting in that the signals with orientation features can be extracted and characterized. Finally, through the integration of characterizations from the 4 different rivalry pathways, the image signals can be effectively interpreted and reconstructed. Instead of data-driven methods, the presented approach requires no prior training. With the use of geometric inferences, the method tends to be interpreted and applied in the signal processor. The extraction and integration of rivalry pathways of different colors allow the method to be effective and robust to the signals with the image noise and disturbance of colors. Experimental results showed that the approach can extract and describing the image signal with diverse disturbance. Based on the characterization of the image signal, it is possible to reconstruct signal features which can effectively represent the important information from the original image signal.
Physiology, Respiratory Drive

Breathing is a complex process that relies heavily on the coordinated action of the muscles of respiration and the control center in the brain. The primary function of the lungs is to facilitate gas exchange between inspired air and the circulatory system. It helps bring oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the body. Oxygen is critical for proper metabolism on a cellular level, while carbon dioxide is crucial for achieving adequate PH levels. Several mechanisms exist to ensure a rigorous balance between supply and demand. In response to a change in blood gases, the pulmonary system adapts by adjusting breathing patterns to help meet the body's metabolic demand. Exercise, for instance, increases oxygen consumption and raises carbon dioxide production. Should, at any point, the available oxygen supply fails to meet the necessary demand, aerobic metabolism ceases, and energy production declines. Likewise, if carbon dioxide were to accumulate without proper disposal, the blood becomes more acidic, and cellular damage ensues, ultimately leading to organ failure. Neither outcome is desirable; therefore, numerous mechanisms exist to match respiration with the continually changing demands. Central and peripheral chemoreceptors, as well as mechanoreceptors in the lungs, convey neural and sensory input to the brain to help modulate respiratory drive. The respiratory center responds in return by changing its firing pattern to alter breathing rhythm and volume.
Limited efficacy of pixantrone in refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive disease with poor outcomes in patients ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation. In this setting, novel treatment approaches are urgently required and the innovative agent pixantrone has shown some promising results in terms of disease-free and overall survival (OS). The present study retrospectively analyzed 12 patients routinely treated with pixantrone in monotherapy or in combinations at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, Slovenia, between January 2016 and October 2018. All 12 patients had refractory lymphoma to last treatment and a large proportion of them had other high risk features (high proliferation index, high disease stage, high international prognostic index (IPI) score, high percentage of primary refractory disease and high percentage of refractoriness to anthracyclines) at initiation of pixantrone. All patients progressed during treatment and none of the patients were alive at the time of analysis due to progressive lymphoma. Pixantrone specific median OS was 3.5 months (range, 0.5–10 months). A somewhat superior median OS (P=0.065) was observed in patients primarily sensitive to anthracyclines. Pixantrone has shown only limited efficacy in the present real world study comparable to the results of another real world UK retrospective analysis and substantially worse than the efficacy observed in the PIX301 registration trial. Therefore, an appropriate selection of patients for this treatment is crucial. Despite the limited experience due to a small number of patients, it was recommended to consider only patients with relapsed (and not refractory) disease, patients with non-primary refractory disease and those with fewer lines of prior therapy.
Bayesian Optimization for Parameter of Discrete Weibull Regression

This study aim at optimizing the parameter θ of Discrete Weibull (DW) regression obtained by maximizing the likelihood function. Also to examine the strength of three acquisition functions used in solving auxiliary optimization problem. The choice of Discrete Weibull regression model among other models for fitting count data is due to its robustness in fitting count data. Count data of hypertensive patients visits to the doctor was obtained at Medicare Clinics Ota, Nigeria, and was used for the analysis. First, parameter θ and β were obtained using Metropolis Hasting Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) algorithm. Then Bayesian optimization was used to optimize the parameter the likelihood function of DW regression, given β to examine what θ would be, and making the likelihood function of DW the objective function. Upper confidence bound (UCB), Expectation of Improvement (EI), and probability of Improvement (PI) were used as acquisition functions. Results showed that fitting Bayesian DW regression to the data, there is significant relationship between the response variable, β and the covariate. On implementing Bayesian optimization to obtain parameter new parameter θ of discrete Weibull regression using the known β, the results showed promising applicability of the technique to the model, and found that EI fits the data better relative to PI and UCB in terms of accuracy and speed.
Family Burden of Schizophrenia Patient who Check at Psychiatric Polyclinic of Psychiatric Hospital of Jambi Province

Family has a role in the caring of schizophrenia patient at home. Schizophrenia patient have a clinical condition which can be the factors to be hospitalized or at home. The family ability was also a burden for the patients care. The purpose of this study was to know of the correlation of the clinical conditions of schizophrenic’s patient and the family burden who has family members with schizophrenia at Psychiatric Polyclinic of Asylum of Jambi Province. The design used cross sectional. The sample size was 95 families who have family members with schizophrenia and selected by purposive sampling. The variables were characteristic of schizophrenia patient, patient clinical condition, and the family burden. The collected data of family burden used Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). The data were collected on July 23 until August 12, 2015. The data analyses used correlation. Family burden correlated with frequent of inpatient psychiatric hospital (r = 0.30) and positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia patients (r = 0.26), but not correlated with the sick duration of schizophrenia patient (p = 0.475). Thus, nurses were expected to provide health education which was aimed to improve the knowledge and ability of the family to care the patients at home.
Exfoliative Vaginal Cytology (EVC) as a tool for determining breeding time in the bitch a case study

A three year old German shepherd bitch was presented to Teaching Veterinary clinical complex, International Institute of Veterinary Education and Research (IIVER), Rohtak Haryana, with history of frank reddish brown, non fetid, vaginal discharge from last 12 days with acceptance to male and cessation of discharge on the day of arrival to clinics. Her owner, wanted to know the window of fertile mating. Exfoliative vaginal cytology (EVC) technique was done to obtain serial vaginal smears, which were stained with Giemsa and put to microscopical examination for presence or absence of cornfield (Squamous and Anucleate epithelial cells)/non cornified (Parabasal and Intermediate epithelial cells) population of vaginal cells to know the fertile window of possible mating. Owner was advised to go for mating of the receptive bitch on the prescribed window based on the presence of typical cornified superficial and anucleate cells in vaginal smear.
Hpv Vaccination In Japan: The Continuing Debate And Global Impacts

In June 2013, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) suspended its active recommendation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination after a small number of highly publicized alleged adverse events stoked public fears about the vaccine’s safety.2 While the MHLW continues to provide the HPV vaccination for those who request it through the National Immunization Programme (NIP), as of mid-April, the suspension of the HPV vaccination recommendation continues. Since the release of our CSIS report The HPV Vaccination in Japan: Issues and Options3 in May 2014, anti-vaccine groups have strengthened their control of the narrative surrounding the HPV vaccine, intensified their activities, and continued to capture media and public attention. The medical community has split as prominent personalities have come forward to support claims of adverse effects linked to the HPV vaccine even in the absence of any evidence of association. Countermeasures by the MHLW, medical professional groups, and others have been comparatively weak and, it appears, ineffectual. It remains unclear how and when this increasingly complicated and difficult situation will be resolved. In this paper, we outline major events with regards to the HPV vaccine controversy in Japan since May 2014, highlighting long-term implications of the rapid drop in vaccination coverage and recommending how to best move forward. There are also two addendums that explore global perspectives on the current situation in Japan and examine examples of how other countries have dealt with concerns and opposition to the HPV vaccine.
Induced third-degree burn in rat: healing by Melilotus officinalis extract as medicinal plant

Introduction: burn wounds are common happenings which cause many people have irreversible defects and to be death around the world every year. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Melilotus officinalis and Alpha ointment in the healing of burn wounds and compare their findings with silver sulfadiazine (SSD). Methods: Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups, and similar burn ulcers were produced on the back of rats. The first group of rats received no treatment, base gel was used topically to group II, in groups III-V, Alpha, SSD and Melilotus officinalis preparations were applied, respectively. Wound healing, contraction and histopathological examination were evaluated at the end of 7, 14, and 21 days. Results: Alpha ointment was equally effective as Melilotus officinalis gel, while its efficacy was better compared to SSD for all parameters of wound healing on days 7, 14 and 21. Alpha and Melilotus officinalis preparations as less expensive medications which significantly improve the quality of wound healing and scar formation and also are more appropriate treatment choices than SSD. Conclusion: Alpha and Melilotus officinalis are recommended as alternative to SSD, especially in patients with low economical backgrounds or in those who show adverse reactions to SSD.
Chinese DMOs’ engagement on global social media: examining post-related factors

ABSTRACT This study explores how Chinese destination management organizations (DMOs) employ global social media posts to promote their destinations to international travelers and to understand the effects of post-related factors on online user engagement. Based on a review of 6014 Facebook posts over a one-year period, this study empirically investigates the engagement performance of Chinese DMOs and its relationship with three post-related factors, namely post content interactivity, post type, and post length. Interactive content and post length each exert significant and positive effects on user engagement. Furthermore, post length is more meaningful when the content is interactive.
The role of bedside point-of-care ultrasound evaluation of the lung in the critically ill patient

Patients in the intensive care unit require specialized care, hence the birth of a subspecialty that focuses on care specific to the needs of such patients. Critical care medicine has metamorphosed from being just another medical subspecialty to one with a distinct set of challenges with its specific time-efficient solutions that are designed keeping in mind the limitations in resources imposed by acute medical conditions. Bedside critical care ultrasound (US) has been used by intensivists for many years primarily for procedural guidance and assessment of hemodynamics. Applying the same principles to recognize the artefactual patterns on US examination of the lung can provide real-time information on lung conditions as well as allows the recognition of temporal patterns in these disease states. These advantages are unparalleled in terms of safety for the patient with no risk of radiation and associated with minimal operating costs. We will discuss the application of this technology to identify common diseases in the intensive care unit and its unique role in modern medicine.
Analysis of Stress Drop Variations in Fault and Subduction Zones of Maluku and Halmahera Earthquakes in 2019

The amount of stress released by an earthquake can be calculated with a stress drop, the stress ratio before and after an earthquake where the stress accumulated in a fault or a subduction zone is immediately released during an earthquake. The purpose of this research is to calculate the amount of stress drop in faults and subduction in Maluku and Halmahera and their variations and relate them to the geological conditions in the area so that the tectonic characteristics in the area can be identified. This research employed mathematical analysis and the Nelder Mead Simplex nonlinear inversion methods. The results show that Maluku and Halmahera are the area with complex tectonic conditions and large earthquake impacts. The Maluku sea earthquake generated a stress drop of 0.81 MPa with a reverse fault mechanism in the zone of subduction, while for the Halmahera earthquake the stress drop value was 52.72 MPa, a typical strike-slip mechanism in the fault zone. It can be concluded that there is a difference in the stress drop between the subduction and fault zones; the stress drop in the fault was greater than that in the subduction zone due to different rock structure and faulting mechanisms as well as differences in the move slip rate that plays a role in the process of holding out the stress on a rock. This information is very important to know the amount of pressure released from the earthquake which has a very large impact as part of disaster mitigation measures.
Is the Bridge Broken? Increasing Ethnic Attachments and Declining Party Influence among Latino Voters

In this article, we test whether perceptions of Latino linked fate influence partisan identification and voting behavior among the Latino electorate across time. Specifically, we contend that attachments to the Latino community have become more widely used heuristics for Latino voters due to an increase in anti-immigrant (Latino) sentiment. Moreover, growing attachments to the Latino community have the potential to influence partisanship and even compete with traditional partisan loyalties (i.e., partisan heuristics) at the polls. To test our argument, we rely on multiple surveys of Latino likely voters with similar measures that span over a decade and a half. Our results indicate that perceptions of linked fate, to varying degrees, are associated with Latino’s decisions to identify with the Democratic Party. At least in more recent presidential elections, they also indicate that Latinos are becoming increasingly reliant on ethnic heuristics while becoming less reliant on their own partisan identity to make decisions at the polls. The findings have important implications for the future of the Democratic and Republican Parties’ ability to court Latino voters and our understanding of how party identification operates among the Latino electorate.
Silicon in Plant Structure and Inorganic C-Sequestration

On the planet earth silicon is next only to oxygen in abundance. It is ubiquitous and is present in soil, water and air and biological systems from algae to human population. It is removed by crops in amounts larger than primary plant nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and imparts several advantages to plants, such as, strength in straw in rice to prevent it from lodging and protection to crop plants against drought, salinity, toxicity of micronutrients and heavy elements, certain diseases, chewing insects and large herbivores yet it is not considered as an essential plant nutrient. However, Si is essential for diatoms and many other sea animals, which play a vital role in Si-cycle in the sea. Si helps in C-sequestration and plays an important role in maintaining the atmospheric CO2 low, but this fact is not well realized.
