Modelling Fish Community Habitat in the Eastern English Channel: Tentative prediction of habitat distribution change under different climatic variation scenarios. ICES CM 2008/M:02

Fish habitat corresponds to geographic areas within which ranges of environmental factors define the presence of a particular species. Habitat modelling was used to relate fish geographic distribution and their relation towards environmental factors and to delineate their optimum habitat. This study was based on data obtained from 1997-2007 IFREMER’s Channel Ground Fish Surveys, including both fish, cephalopods and macro-crustacean species abundance and environmental data. Redundancy Analysis was used to relate depth, temperature, salinity, bedstress and sediment to community structure. As a result, different assemblages affinity were related to the gradient of the environmental variables. The resulting RDA model was used to map, using GIS, the optimum habitats of these sub-communities. Two climatic scenarios simulating opposite directions of change in part of the modelled environment (salinity and temperature) were applied to the habitat model and the resulting changes in the spatial occupation of the sub-communities will be presented. The information obtained will be discussed in the context of the conservation and protection of natural habitats in the face of climate change and anthropogenic disturbances.
Equipping healthcare professionals to care for the whole person

Western medical education has only recently sought to attend to the spiritual aspects of the patient. The overwhelming evidence of the role the spiritual plays in health and disease has led to movement to adopt a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of care. However, these efforts often lack wholistic integration. The purpose of this article is to describe a program and international network helping to address the need for curricula and methods to educate healthcare professionals in whole person care wholistically and to make the availability of these resources more widely known to those likely to benefit from and use them. The UK Christian charity PRIME: Partnerships in International Medical Education provides a free curriculum and training opportunities for this purpose. PRIME’s approach and course have been widely sought and accepted by professionals from different cultures and faith groups and has developed into an international network.
Fan-Crossing Free Graphs

A graph is fan-crossing free if it admits a drawing in the plane so that each edge can be crossed by independent edges. Then the crossing edges have distinct vertices. In complement, a graph is fan-crossing if each edge can be crossed by edges of a fan. Then the crossing edges are incident to a common vertex. Graphs are k-planar if each edge is crossed by at most k edges, and k-gap-planar if each crossing is assigned to an edge involved in the crossing, so that at most k crossings are assigned to each edge. We use the s-subdivision, path-addition, and node-to-circle expansion operations to show that there are fan-crossing free graphs that are not fan-crossing, k-planar, and k-gap-planar for k >= 1, respectively. A path-addition adds a long path between any two vertices to a graph. An s-subdivision replaces an edge by a path of length s, and a node-to-circle expansion substitutes a vertex by a 3-regular circle, so that each vertex of the circle inherits an edge incident to the original vertex. We introduce universality for an operation and a graph class, so the every graph has an image in the graph class. In particular, we show the fan22 crossing free graphs are universal for 2-subdivision and for node-to-circle 3 expansion. Finally, we show that some graphs have a unique fan-crossing free embedding, that there are maximal fan-crossing free graphs with less edges than the density, and that the recognition problem for fan-crossing free graphs is NP-complete.
Evolution of the structural transition in 
Mo1−xWxTe2

The composition dependence of the structural transition between the monoclinic 1T$^{\prime}$ and orthorhombic T$_{d}$ phases in the Mo$_{1-x}$W$_{x}$Te$_{2}$ Weyl semimetal was investigated by elastic neutron scattering on single crystals up to $x \approx 0.54$. First observed in MoTe$_{2}$, the transition from T$_{d}$ to 1T$^{\prime}$ is accompanied by an intermediate pseudo-orthorhombic phase, T$_{d}^{*}$. Upon doping with W, the T$_{d}^{*}$ phase vanishes by $x \approx 0.34$. Above this concentration, a phase coexistence behavior with both T$_{d}$ and 1T$^{\prime}$ is observed instead. The interlayer in-plane positioning parameter $\delta$, which relates to the 1T$^{\prime}$ $\beta$ angle, decreases with temperature as well as with W substitution, likely due to strong anharmonicity in the interlayer interactions. The temperature width of the phase coexistence remains almost constant up to $x \approx 0.54$, in contrast to the broadening reported under pressure.
Thresholds In Multiple Testing-False Positive Discovery And Non Discovery Rates

The false discovery rate (FDR) is a method of conceptualizing the rate of type I errors in null hypothesis testing when conducting multiple comparisons. FDR controlling procedures are designed to control the expected proportion of "discoveries" (rejected null hypotheses) that are false (incorrect rejections). In other words FDR is designed to control the proportion of false positives among the set of rejected hypotheses. This is more sensitive than traditional methods simply because of using a more lenient metric for false positives. False discoveries infiltrate the science world. The probability of a false positive finding increases with the numbers of statistical analytical tests. With recently expanding possibilities for piling data, concerns about the effects of multiplicities on false positive discoveries in the scientific endeavor have increased. However, awareness has not steep evenly throughout all branches of science. The role of new statistical approaches such as the false discovery rate for controlling false positive findings as well as the impact of false positive findings on science shall be highlighted in this critical review.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE OF ZINC-BOROPHOSPHATE GLASSES

Zinc-borophosphate (ZBP) glasses of the system 71.81ZnO-(18-х)P2O5-xB2O3:0.5Sm show wide application potential for different optical devices. It is important for optical applications glass materials to be homogenous, thermal and chemical resistant. Based on some previous studies of the structure, thermal stability and optical properties of these glasses, it is found that this matrix is a good candidate as a host material for different rare earth (RE) ions. The present work is a study of ZBP glasses chemical resistant by calculating the decomposition rate of the series of samples at different pH medium and duration.
Clinical Outcomes in Adult T Leukemia/Lymphoma: Report of 55 Cases from Peru.

Adult T -cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive disease associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I) with heterogeneous clinical presentation and outcomes, described in Southern Japan, Europe, Caribbean and previously on Pacific coast of South America including Peru (EHA 2001, abst. 304). Shimoyama’s ATL classification (BHJ1991:79) includes four types: acute, lymphomatous, chronic and smoldering; recently a new clinical type cutaneous had been described (BJD2005:152). Herein we show our experience in ATL in our institution between October 1997 and May 2005 All our 55 cases shown positivity to HTLV-I Western Blot test; immune-histopathology, blood smears and flow cytometry showed mature T-cell lymphocyte. Median age at diagnosis 61 years old (range 23–84), female/male ratio: 1.2. Thirty-one (56%) patients had ECOG status performance at diagnosis ≥ 2. Clinical types: acute (n=26), lymphomatous (n=22), smouldering (n=2), cutaneous (n=5) with no chronic type observed. Median haemoglobin diagnosis was 12.1 g/dl (range 6.9–17), median albumin was 3.2 g/dl (range 1.8 – 4.9), median beta-2 microglobulin was 4.6 g/dl (range 1.5 – 16.9), median globulin was 2.7 g/dl (range 1.5 – 8.2) and DHL was 796 UI/ml (range 331 – 13000). Twenty-five per cent (9/36) debuted with hypercalemia (acute type=7, lymphomatous=2). Acute ATL showed median leukocytes of 48,900 cell/mm 3 (range 6830–259,000). IPI risk score was: low (n=6), low intermediate (n=7), high intermediate (n=16) and high (n=27). Treatment for acute ATL was based on acute leukaemia and lymphoma regimens without any response but one, interestingly this patient was treated with Fludarabine 25 mg/mt2 day 1–5 each 28 day for 6 cycles and got complete remission. Twenty-one over 24 lymphomatous ATL type were evaluable for treatment response: overall response 38% (9/24) with 26% complete response. Smouldering and cutaneous ATL types received mainly topic treatments. Stratify analysis for IPI, DHL, beta-2 microglobulin, globulin and albumin for acute and non-acute ATL did not show any statistic difference. Median overall survival was: acute type (2.0 months DE 0.2), lymphomatous type (10.2 months DE 3.6), smouldering type (17.2 months) and cutaneous type (36.2 months DE 19.5) (Log Rank 30,76 p=0.0) ATL persist is a poor prognostic peripheral T-lymphocytic malignancy with bad clinical and therapeutically outcomes mainly in the acute type. Cutaneous type seems to be less aggressive.
Image Coloring using Genetic Algorithm

We introduce an evolutionary algorithm (EA) for “colorizing” grayscale images by evolving color "square patches" transfer process between a source, color image and a target, grayscale image. The presented EA attempts to automatically choosing color patches from a source image and adding their chromatic information to the achromatic values of the target image patches. The proposed EA uses first -and second-order statistics for luminance and texture information matching between the patches. The genes that can represent best matching over all EA parents are recombined in a single multi-sexual recombination to form a single offspring. Then, mutation forms all other offspring. The results demonstrate the potential of our simple EA in colorizing a variety of images, provided that the source and target images are semantically belong to the same class.
Impulsivity test implemented with game elements – can validity be maintained?

Four variants of the go/no task, which is an impulsivity test, have been implemented as computer games. A total of forty subjects tested the variants. The different implementations were compared against the Barrat Impulsiveness Scale (another impulsivity test) in order to see if all of the games target the same impulsivity constructs. Results showed that the different games actually measured different constructs, hence validity was not maintained. However, the games have more focused individual validity, since they correlate with other constructs, just not the same constructs as the original go/nogo task.
Scaling biodiversity responses to hydrological regimes: Hydrology, freshwater biodiversity and scale

Of all ecosystems, freshwaters support the most dynamic and highly concentrated biodiversity on Earth. These attributes of freshwater biodiversity along with increasing demand for water mean that these systems serve as significant models to understand drivers of global biodiversity change. Freshwater biodiversity changes are often attributed to hydrological alteration by water-resource development and climate change owing to the role of the hydrological regime of rivers, wetlands and floodplains affecting patterns of biodiversity. However, a major gap remains in conceptualising how the hydrological regime determines patterns in biodiversity’s multiple spatial components and facets (taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic). We synthesised primary evidence of freshwater biodiversity responses to natural hydrological regimes to determine how distinct ecohydrological mechanisms affect freshwater biodiversity at local, landscape and regional spatial scales. Hydrological connectivity influences local and landscape biodiversity, yet responses vary depending on spatial scale. Biodiversity at local scales is generally positively associated with increasing connectivity whereas landscape-scale biodiversity is greater with increasing fragmentation among locations. The effects of hydrological disturbance on freshwater biodiversity are variable at separate spatial scales and depend on disturbance frequency and history and organism characteristics. The role of hydrology in determining habitat for freshwater biodiversity also depends on spatial scaling. At local scales, persistence, stability and size of habitat each contribute to patterns of freshwater biodiversity yet the responses are variable across the organism groups that constitute overall freshwater biodiversity. We present a conceptual model to unite the effects of different ecohydrological mechanisms on freshwater biodiversity across spatial scales, and develop four principles for applying a multi-scaled understanding of freshwater biodiversity responses to hydrological regimes. The protection and restoration of freshwater biodiversity is both a fundamental justification and a central goal of environmental water allocation worldwide. Clearer integration of concepts of spatial scaling in the context of understanding impacts of hydrological regimes on biodiversity will increase uptake of evidence into environmental flow implementation, identify suitable biodiversity targets responsive to hydrological change or restoration, and identify and manage risks of environmental flows contributing to biodiversity decline.
Image Denoiseing Using New Double 2-D Based Median Filter

: Noise is a major issue while transferring images through all kinds of electronic communication. Noise are of different types like, Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise shot noise, film grain. Salt and Pepper noise is also known as Impulsive noise causes dark pixel in bright region and bright pixel in dark region. Salt-and-pepper noise is generated by errors during analog to digital conversion or data transfer. In this paper, we will give a new method that will help to remove the high density salt and pepper noise up to 55% efficiently. We will also study existing method of impulsive noise removal and compare with our suggested method using MATLAB. A comparison table is prepared with our new method and other methods like Median filter to find result in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE) for Lena Image and Cat Image.
Gaze-Sensing LEDs for Head Mounted Displays

We introduce a new gaze tracker for Head Mounted Displays (HMDs). We modify two off-the-shelf HMDs to be gaze-aware using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Our key contribution is to exploit the sensing capability of LEDs to create low-power gaze tracker for virtual reality (VR) applications. This yields a simple approach using minimal hardware to achieve good accuracy and low latency using light-weight supervised Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) running on a mobile device. With our hardware, we show that Minkowski distance measure based GPR implementation outperforms the commonly used radial basis function-based support vector regression (SVR) without the need to precisely determine free parameters. We show that our gaze estimation method does not require complex dimension reduction techniques, feature extraction, or distortion corrections due to off-axis optical paths. We demonstrate two complete HMD prototypes with a sample eye-tracked application, and report on a series of subjective tests using our prototypes.
Semi-closed form solutions for barrier and American options written on a time-dependent Ornstein Uhlenbeck process

In this paper we develop a semi-closed form solutions for the barrier (perhaps, time-dependent) and American options written on the underlying stock which follows a time-dependent OU process with a log-normal drift. This model is equivalent to the familiar Hull-White model in FI, or a time dependent OU model in FX. Semi-closed form means that given the time-dependent interest rate, continuous dividend and volatility functions, one need to solve numerically a linear (for the barrier option) or nonlinear (for the American option) Fredholm equation of the first kind. After that the option prices in all cases are presented as one-dimensional integrals of combination of the above solutions and Jacobi theta functions. We also demonstrate that computationally our method is more efficient than the backward finite difference method used for solving these problems, and can also be as efficient as the forward finite difference solver while providing better accuracy and stability.
HYBRIDIZATION OF SOFT COMPUTING TECHNIQUE WITH APRIORI FOR ASSOCIATION RULE MINING

The modern day rule generation by association rule mining (a-priori algorithm) and optimization of the same using genetic algorithms is rather a complex process. The crux of optimization problem is the complexity and accuracy of the methods used to either mine interesting rules or to extract interesting rules from the ones generated initially. This paper has been written with a simple agenda of unifying many elegant and useful techniques to create a less complex yet accurate algorithm for rule optimization and also reduce the computation time
Optically Rewritable Memory in a Graphene–Ferroelectric-Photovoltaic Heterostructure

Achieving optical operation of logic elements, especially those that involve 2D layers, can open the long sought era of optical computing. However, the efficient optical modulation of the electronic properties of 2D materials including memory effect is currently missing. Here we report a fully optical control of the conductivity of a graphene with write/erase option yet under ultralow optical fluence. The competition between light-induced charge generation in ferroelectric-photovoltaic substrate with subsequent relaxation processes provides the selective photocarrier trapping control affecting the doping of 2D overlayer. These findings open the road to photonic control of 2D devices for all -optical modulators and a variety of all-optical logic circuits, memories and field-effect transistors.
JOB BURNOUT AMONG PROFESSIONALS: A THEORETICAL REVIEW

Objective: The objective of the paper is to make an attempt to theoretically review job burnout and its antecedents and consequences among professionals. Methodology/Approach: The paper reviews the existing literature on job burnout and its antecedents and consequences among various professionals. Findings: Job Burnout is a special type of job stress a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion combined with doubts about employee’s competence and the value of their work. Researchers define burnout as a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. The researches on burnout clearly reflect that burnout is increasingly becoming a major threat to the professionals. A number of antecedents and consequences of burnout have been discussed and listed. The major antecedents of burnout emerged from literature were job and role characteristics. Major outcomes of burnout are absenteeism, turnover, and job performance for organizations and employees. While it has been argued that burnout should negatively relate to performance and positively relate to absenteeism and turnover, results from empirical studies have been equivocal. Conclusion: Burnout is of global significance nowadays. The current study adds to the knowledge towards understanding the burnout phenomenon and its antecedents and consequences among professionals. Studies on burnout and its consequences signals that burnout have some major implications not only on the employee suffering but also on its family, friends and the organization. As reported by studies, experience of burnout by employees is increasing rapidly; more studies should be done to gain deeper insights of the topic and accordingly work upon to fight or prevent burnout and its harmful consequences among professionals.

Switched Capacitor Based Boost Multilevel Inverters: Design Criterion and Limitations

In this paper, the design criterion considered for switched capacitor based boost multilevel inverters (SCBMLI) is presented. Variants of SCBMLI topology is proposed in literature for several applications. In this paper, evaluation of the SCBMLI variant and PWM technique selected for an application is done by defining a parameter called capacitor energy utilization factor. This factor is the ratio of charging and discharging energies calculated analytically from the given parameters of the topology and the components employed. Generalized analytical model for the above factor is derived. The proposed model for a variant of SCBMLI topology is verified in simulations. Basic considerations for designing and selecting a SCBMLI topology and semiconductor devices are presented. Limitations of the design methodologies available in the literature are explained. The effect of capacitor charging interval and non-idealities of the components ($R_{ds, on}$ and $R_{ESR}$) on the converter behavior is explained. The limitations of the SCBMLI topologies and their design criterion are discussed through analytical and simulation results.
