Generating a Highlight Moments Summary Video of Apolitical Event using Ontological Analysis on Social Media Speech Sentiment

Numerous viewers choose to watch political or presidential debates highlights via TV or internet, rather than seeing the whole debate nowadays, which requires a lot of time. However, the task of making a debate summary, which can be considered neutral and does not give out a negative nor a positive image of the speaker, has never been an easy one, due to personal or political beliefs bias of the video maker. This study came up with a solution that generates highlights of a political event, based on twitter social network flow. Twitter streaming API is used to detect an event's tweets stream using specific hashtags, and detect on a timescale the extreme changes of volume of tweets, which will determine the highlight moments of our video summary at first, then a process is set up based on a group of ontologies that analyze each tweet of these moments to calculate the percentage of each sentiment’s positivity, then classify those moments by category (positive, negative or neutral).
Verification and Validation

CASTNET measures particle and gas acidic deposition chemistry. Specifically, CASTNET measures sulfate and nitrate dry deposition and meteorological information at approximately 88 monitoring sites, primarily in the East. Two additional sites are planned as part of a multi-year network refurbishment and modernization project . These sites are scheduled to be in operation by 2007 and will help fill the coverage gap in the middle of country. CASTNET is a long-term dry deposition network funded, operated and maintained by EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR). The National Park Service operates approximately 30 of the monitoring stations in cooperation with EPA.
La synthèse protéique commence dans le noyau

> Chez les bacteries telles qu’Escherichia coli, les ribosomes s’associent aux ARNm naissants et commencent a les traduire en polypeptide avant que la transcription ne soit achevee. Il en resulte un couplage entre ces deux operations. Ainsi, la maniere dont s’effectue la transcription determine la stabilite et la traductibilite des ARNm. Inversement, la traductibilite des ARNm determine l’efficacite de leur transcription et leur stabilite. Jusqu’en 2001, l’existence d’un tel couplage chez les eucaryotes semblait n’etre qu’une hypothese d’ecole. En effet, les cellules eucaryotes se distinguent des procaryotes par une compartimentation de l’espace intracellulaire en cytoplasme et noyau. Or, tous les manuels de biologie nous enseignent que le noyau est le siege de la transcription des ARN pre-messagers, puis de leur maturation en ARN messagers, alors que la synthese proteique s’effectue dans le cytoplasme apres exportation des ARNm hors du noyau [1]. Pourtant plusieurs etudes publiees dans les annees 1970 avaient suggere, sans convaincre, l’existence d’une synthese proteique nucleaire. La question s’est reposee dans les annees 1990, pour rendre compte d’un «controle de qualite» des ARNm avant leur exportation hors du noyau. Des mutations, a l’origine des codons «non-sens» ou stop, affectent l’epissage, et la degradation des ARN pre-messagers. Or comment detecter la presence d’un codon non-sens dans un ARN nucleaire si celuici n’est pas traduit en polypeptide(➜)? On doit a F. Iborra et a P. Cook d’avoir reactive l’hypothese d’une synthese proteique nucleaire dans un article retentissant publie en 2001 [2]. Malgre l’opposition de quelques «irreductibles» [3], des etudes recentes sont venues conforter la realite d’une telle synthese proteique nucleaire.
Assessing the fate of new and existing chemicals: A five‐stage process

A five-stage process is described for obtaining an understanding of the fate of a substance after discharge to the environment and for predicting the concentrations to which organisms in various environmental media will be exposed. These five stages are: classifying the substance as to its chemical type and collecting the appropriate physical, chemical, and reactivity data based on this classification; obtaining information on the substance's past, present, and/or proposed production, use, and discharges and, if appropriate, background concentrations; conducting an evaluative fate assessment with the objective of determining the general features of the substance's behavior; conducting a regional or far-field fate evaluation using regional climatic and geographic conditions, to determine the role of environmental conditions on the substance's behavior and estimate average regional concentrations; and conducting one or more local or near-field evaluations on points of entry and other potentially impacted sites to predict the exposure concentration. With this information on fate, risk can be assessed by comparing predicted environmental concentrations with no-effect concentrations. This paper contains a detailed discussion of stage 1 (classification into one of five categories) and a discussion of how multimedia models can be used to conduct the evaluative (stage 3), regional (stage 4), and near-field (stage 5) assessments.
Factors affecting behavioural responses to visual stimuli in the tomato fruit fly, Neoceratitis cyanescens

Responses of Neoceratitis cyanescens (Bezzi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) females to visual stimuli were studied in a laboratory flight chamber. A bright orange sphere was used to investigate the effects of age, mating status and time of day on their responses. In no‐choice assays, four parameters were considered: mean time before leaving the release vial, percentage of flies that visited the sphere, mean number of flights and mean time before landing on the sphere. Naive mated females first became strongly responsive to the orange sphere 6 days post‐adult emergence (> 40%). The percentage of females that visited the sphere increased significantly with egg load. There were no significant differences in behavioural responses between virgin and mated mature females. In a choice situation between a yellow and an orange sphere, starved females displayed a greater propensity than well‐fed females to land on the yellow sphere. Mature females were more responsive to the orange sphere when tested in the afternoon than earlier in the day. In a no‐choice situation, females visited the yellow sphere as often as the orange sphere. However, the mean delay before landing was significantly greater for the yellow sphere. The results emphasize the importance of physiological condition on responses of N. cyanescens females to host‐simulating visual stimuli.
RASSP Benchmark 2 Technical Description.

Abstract : This report describes the second in a series of application problems which are intended to measure the performance of a process for rapid prototyping of embedded digital signal processors. The rapid prototyping process is being developed for the ARPA/Tri-Services Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) program. The first application problem was to develop a virtual prototype for a real time digital signal processor capable of forming images from high resolution synthetic aperture radar data. The second problem, described in this document, is to implement the virtual prototype in physical hardware and compare performance with that predicted by the virtual prototype. Details of the application are provided along with design constraints and optimization requirements for the processor. The report also describes product and process metrics which are to be collected to derive measures of process and product performance. The application problem and associated performance metrics comprise what is termed a Benchmark Technical Description.
Capacity of Multiconnectivity mmWave Systems With Dynamic Blockage and Directional Antennas

The challenges of millimeter-wave (mmWave) radio propagation in dense crowded environments require dynamic re-associations between the available access points (APs) to reduce the chances of losing the line-of-sight path. However, the antenna beamsearching functionality in the mmWave systems may introduce significant delays in the course of AP re-association. In this paper, we analyze user performance in dense urban mmWave deployments that are susceptible to blockage by the dynamically moving crowd. Our approach relies on the ergodic capacity as the key parameter of interest. We conduct a detailed evaluation with respect to the impact of various system parameters on the ergodic capacity, such as AP density and height, blocker density and speed, number of antenna array elements, array switching time, degree of multiconnectivity, and employed connectivity strategies. Particularly, we demonstrate that dual connectivity delivers the desired performance out of all possible degrees of multiconnectivity, and there is an optimal density of mmWave APs that maximizes the capacity of cell-edge users. We also show that the use of low complexity “reactive” multiconnectivity design, where the beamtracking is only performed when the currently active connection is lost, together with the utilization of iterative beamsearching algorithms, does not significantly deteriorate the ergodic capacity.
Feasibility of the Detection of Breast Cancer Using Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Technology in Comparison with Other Screening Techniques

Breast cancer is considered a leading cause of deaths among women. Researches state that women around the world still face this problem, and because of its unawareness, it is many times left unattended in the budding stages. If correctly screened and detected early, then with proper treatment, this could stop the metastasis and reduce the pains and difficulties of the later stages. Screening methods such as x-ray-based mammography, ultrasound, PET scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clinically exist for breast tumor investigation. It is very important that screening procedures should have high specificity and sensitivity for the detection of tumors. Additionally, these methods also have to placate concerns such as ease of the patient during imaging, high-resolution images for added precise elucidation, cost effectiveness, and the capacity to detect the malignantleading tumors in the early stage. Existing imaging techniques do not meet all of these conditions concurrently. In this scenario, ultra-wide band (UWB) technology has come into play the role of a useful alternative for screening and detection of breast tumors. This chapter discusses firstly probabilistic qualitative metrics which are used in measuring the quality of testing procedures, and then later UWB testing methods are discussed in brief.
Designing a cloud architecture for an application with many users

The aim of the thesis is to provide a guideline on how to design and implement a cloud architecture solution for an application with many users. For this, general cloud architecture approaches are presented. The theory part is based on techniques of designing a cloud architecture, cloud computing in general, virtualization, databases, and related work of comparisons of cloud computing services. The case objectives of a mobile payment application are stated and defined. On these objectives, a study is conducted on different kinds of cloud backend architecture solutions, which are the tier-based architecture, the message queue architecture, the microservice architecture and the Serverless architecture. The microservice architecture and the Serverless architecture are assessed to be the most promising architectures for the case, because of their excellent scalability. The microservice architecture in Amazon Web Services and the Serverless architecture in Firebase are practically implemented for the case and compared to each other. The Serverless architecture in Firebase is easy to implement and therefore an excellent decision for a cloud architecture with certain limitations. However, the microservice architecture is a more complex architecture, which should be considered if user limits are reached or more configuration possibilities in the architecture are needed.
Électrochirurgie versus ligature mécanique dans le contrôle de l’artère mésentérique inférieure dans la sigmoïdectomie pour maladie diverticulaire

OBJECTIF : Avec le developpement de nouveaux dispositifs medicaux, les techniques de ligature de l’artere mesenterique inferieure en chirurgie colorectale ont ete modifiees, passant d’une ligature mecanique au controle vasculaire par electrochirurgie (EC). L’objectif de cette etude est de determiner si la ligature de l’artere mesenterique inferieure par electrochirurgie est aussi efficace que la ligature mecanique dans la chirurgie sigmoidienne programmee. METHODES : De 2001 a 2014, 200 patients (110 hommes) consecutifs, avec un âge moyen de 54.1 ans, ont ete operes pour une maladie diverticulaire symptomatique par voie coelioscopique. La ligature arterielle etait realisee, pour 100 patients de maniere mecanique (LM), soit a l’aide de clip, agrafes ou fil intracorporel, ou, a partir de 2006, a l’aide d’EC (100 patients). La ligature de l’artere mesenterique est realisee systematiquement a son origine pour des raisons d’enseignement. Les resultats techniques etaient recueillis de maniere prospective en per et post operatoire. RESULTATS : La mortalite etait nulle. Le temps operatoire moyen etait 253,7 et 200.7 minutes dans les groupes LM et EC respectivement (p<0.001). La duree moyenne d’hospitalisation etait 10.4 et 8.1 jours (p<0.001). Une complication post operatoire est survenue dans les 30 jours chez 31% versus 25% des patients (p=0.29). Une fistule anastomotique est survenue chez 3 patients dans le groupe LM. Un evenement hemorragique est survenu dans les 2 groupes (3 dans le groupe LM et 2 dans le groupe EC). Les limites de cette etude sont son caractere retrospectif et les biais inherents a l’etude de deux cohortes historiques. CONCLUSION : L’electrochirurgie pour le controle de l’artere mesenterique inferieure est aussi efficace et sure que la ligature mecanique et permet une baisse significative de la duree operatoire.
Risk of refeeding syndrome. Case report

Introduction: Refeeding syndrome is an acute metabolic disorder that occurs during nutritional repletion. Although it has been known for years, the early detection of risk factors for its onset and the implementation of measures to prevent it are not common in nutritional care.Case presentation: 48-year-old male patient, in critical care for 6 days, with suspected Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy and high risk of refeeding syndrome according to criteria of the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence. The subject received enteral nutrition with 14 kcal/kg for the first 3 days, with subsequent increases aiming to achieve a nutritional goal of 25 kcal/kg on day 5. He also received daily supplementation of thiamine 600mg, folic acid 5mg and pyridoxine 50mg. Blood phosphorus decreased from 3 mg/dL to 2 mg/dL the day after initiating the nutritional plan and normalized by day 3.Discussion: The patient did not present severe hypophosphatemia or clinical manifestations of refeeding syndrome. Hypophosphatemia was resolved by maintaining a stable caloric restriction during the first days. Some professionals consider this restriction as very conservative, and others think that it may lead to achieve significant improvements in mortality reduction.Conclusions: The strategy for assessing the risk of refeeding syndrome, nutritional management and implemented follow-up were successful in preventing the patient from developing a refeeding syndrome.
Reusing Results in Bigdata Frameworks

Big Data refers to large and complex data sets. Big Data can use parallel data processing application software and traditional approach is not possible. Gathering a Data, processing and survey are one of the most important factors in organizations, companies and academic institutions. We propose a framework in this paper which can efficiently detect and avoid redundant computations. The important technique used here is the materialized view technique which saves and reuses the result of previous computations[1].
Characteristics of thiamine triphosphatase from neural cells plasma membranes

: The kinetic parameters of the ThTP hydrolysis by synaptic plasma membranes isolated from rat brain were investigated. It was shown that the ThTPase reaction pH optimum was 7.4, the apparent K(m) was 52 microM and the apparent affinity constant for Mg2+ was 1.9 mM. The comparative analysis of the indicated parameters was done for the ThTPase activity of membrane bound (the data of present work and literature data) and cytosolic (literature data) proteins. The analysis allows us to suppose that thiamine-binding protein described earlier is the single ThTPase activity carrier in neural cells plasma membranes. It was shown that the active site of the enzyme that catalyzes the ThTP hydrolysis in neural cells plasma membranes is associated with the inside membrane surface.
Uncovering mental and neural structure through data-driven ontology discovery

Despite a wealth of behavioral and neural ﬁndings, psychology and cognitive neuroscience lack integrative theories. One difﬁculty is the apparent multifuctional character of neural function (Anderson, 2016), a perspective ultimately founded on our neural and cognitive ontologies (Shine, Eisenberg, & Poldrack, 2016), and potentially ameliorated by their reconceptualization. While the progressive development of our neural ontology in terms of brain atlases and functional networks is the norm, commiser-ate reﬁnement of a cognitive ontology has been lacking. We forward a data-driven framework to integrate multiple psychological literatures into a new cognitive ontology. We examine individual-differences across an unprecedented range of behavioral tasks, self-report surveys and real-world outcomes and use factor-analysis to reduce the dimensionality of these measurements, creating a ”cognitive space” to serve as a common coordinate system to describe many cognitive constructs. Within the cognitive space measurements are structured, which is revealed through clustering. This new representation of cognitive measures provides a hypothesis for neural organization, which we pursue in an fMRI experiment where we scan participants completing a subset of the behavioral measures.
Trace elements in otoliths of the two-banded bream from a coastal region in the south-west Mediterranean : are there differences among locations?

There were no significant differences in otolith chemistry (Li, Mn, Sr, Cd, Ba) of Diplodus vulgaris between sites (distances >100 m) and few differences among locations (distance >10 km) along the south-west coast of Spain. Multivariate analysis of otolith chemistry detected a difference among locations, but a posteriori comparisons could not detect which locations differed. This is one of the few studies to show little variation in otolith chemistry among locations. Of the studies reviewed, <10% showed non-significant differences. It is suggested that the region of the Mediterranean where this study was conducted may be relatively homogeneous in comparison to estuarine and coastal regions where many of the other studies have been conducted.
Regulation of expression of multiple beta-glucosidases of Aspergillus terreus and their purificaiton and characterization,

This study reports the regulation and purification of b-glucosidases from a thermotolerant Aspergillus terreus AN1 strain, previously reported for efficient deinking of composite paper waste. The differential expression of four beta-glucosidase isoforms, in response to carbon sources in production medium, was studied by electrophoretically resolving proteins by polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis analysis (PAGE) and developing zymograms using methylum-belliferyl b-D glucoside as substrate. Three b-glucosidases (bGI, bGII & bGIII) were purified using chromatographic techniques. SDS-PAGE revealed the respective molecular masses of bGI, bGII, and bGIII, as 29, 43, and 98 KDa, and isoelectric point (pI) to be 2.8, 3.7, and 3.0. The b-glucosidases exhibited diverse pH and temperature optima as well as stability. b-Glucosidase I (bGI) specifically recognized pNP-b-glucopyranoside (pNPG) as a substrate, whereas, b-glucosidase II (bGII) and III (bGIII) also showed activities against cellobiose and salicin. In contrast to bGII and bGIII, the activity of bGI was positively influenced in the presence of hexoses/pentoses and alcohols. Km and Vmax for hydrolysis of pNPG by bGI, bGII, andbGIII were found to be 14.2 mM and 166.9 µmol -1mg protein -1, 4.37 mM, and 34.7 µmol -1mg proteins -1, and 11.1 mM and 378. 7µ mol -1 mg protein -1, respectively.
Facial Recognition System combining Pulse Coupled Neural Network and Eigenfaces Principles

The objective of this work is to establish a facial recognition algorithm combining image processing by the pulse coupled neural network/PCNN and the Eigenfaces principle. The pulse coupled neural network is a neural network based on the visual system of mammals, the purpose of its use is the extraction of contours that characterize a face on a facial image. These contours have been coded into a single vector set or weight vector for each image by the Eigenfaces principle, the vectors thus obtained are used as the basis for representing the initial facial image in a facial recognition system. Keywords—Facial Recognition; Image Processing; Neural Network; PCNN; Eigenfaces.
A Response to “Current Normative Concepts in Conservation” by Callicott et al.

In “Current Normative Concepts in Conservation,” Callicott et al. (1999) attempt to distinguish between “compositionalists,” (those who stress evolutionary ecology and think that “ Homo sapiens defile and destroy pristine nature,” and “functionalists,” (those who focus on “an ontology of processes and functions” in existing ecosystems and who consider “ Homo sapiens part of and embedded within nature). ” This distinction seems a contrived creation of two opposing factions devised so that the authors can bring peace through a merging of the two in a “complementary and synthetic approach” able to carry society forward into a harmonious future. They “suggest a functionalist middle path: managing ecosystems with the primary goal of maintaining their health and relegating commodity extraction to a subordinate role. ” What they describe, though, rather than a “middle path,” ignores basic compositionalist concerns. The authors attempt to connect their functionalist view with the names of Darwin and Aldo Leopold. But the fact that Leopold wrote that “men are only fellow-voyagers with other creatures” should not be interpreted as supportive of the opinion of the authors that humans differ “in degree but not in essence from other species. ” Leopold, a legendary wilderness proponent, would certainly not have identified himself as a functionalist. Likewise problematic is the connection by the authors of compositionalists— whose traits, as described, would naturally incline them toward advocacy for wilderness and the evolutionary forces therein—with “the biblical image of God (that) distinguishes people from nature,” associating them by extension with religious fundamentalism. Regarding the place of the human species in relation to the other millions of species, Rolston (1994) countered Callicott, who had argued in favor of “the sustainable development alternative” to wilderness, as follows: Poets like Gary Snyder perhaps are entitled to poetic license. But philosophers are not, especially when analyzing the concept of wildness. They cannot say that “the works of man, however precocious, are as natural as those of beavers,” being entirely “natural” and then, hardly taking a breath, say that “the cultural component in human behavior is so greatly developed as to have become more a difference in kind than of degree. ” If this were only poetic philosophy it might be harmless, but proposed as policy, environmental professionals who operate with such contradictory philosophy will fail tragically.
