Co-creating a repository of best-practices for collaborative translation

Collaborative translation has the potential for significantly changing how we translate content. However, successful deployment of this kind of approach is far from trivial, as it presents potential adopters with a rich and complex envelope of processes and technologies, whose respective impacts are still poorly understood. The present paper aims at facilitating this kind of decision making, by describing and cataloguing current best-practices in collaborative translation. More precisely, we present a collection of Design Patterns which was created collectively by a small group of practitioners, at a one-day roundtable hosted by the Translation Automation Users Society in October of 2011. This collection has been put on an open wiki site (www.collaborative-translation-patterns.com) in the hopes that other practitioners in the field will refine and augment it.
The manipulation of ostrich meat quality , composition and shelf life

Two experiments were conducted in order to manipulate the physical and chemical properties and shelf life of ostrich meat. Experiment 1: The effect of dietary fish oil rich in n-3 fatty acids on the organoleptic, fatty acid and physicochemical characteristics of ostrich meat. The diet of four ostrich groups (15 birds per group), approximately 3 months of age (ca. 41 kg live weight) grazing a predominantly oats pasture, was supplemented with a diet containing 6.7% fish oil. The birds received a supplement of either 0 (diet 1), 800 (diet 2), 1600 (diet 3) or 2400 g (diet 4) DM/day resulting in the consumption of 0 (diet 1), 14.5 (diet 2), 29 (diet 3) and 43.5 (diet 4) g fish oil per day. The ostriches were slaughtered at 10 months of age (ca. 70 kg live weight). An increase in the amount of fish oil consumed was found to have had statistically no significant effect on the sensory characteristics of the M. iliofibularis, although there was a tendency towards an increase in ‘fishiness’, for both aroma and flavour. However, increased concentrations of fish oil had a significant effect on the aroma and flavour of the abdominal fat pads. The muscle pHf and muscle lightness (L*) reflected a significant reduction with increased fish oil levels. The increased feed intake, on the other hand, had no effect on the chemical composition (moisture, protein, fat and ash content) of the meat. The fatty acid profile of both fat and meat was affected by the consumption of fish oil. The SFA concentration increased, while the PUFA concentration decreased, with an increase in feed intake. The MUFA concentration remained constant for all four groups. Experiment 2: The effect of dietary vitamin E and the type of packaging on the sensory quality, physicochemical composition and shelf life of ostrich meat. Two groups of ostriches (35 birds per group; ca. 3 months old) were fed diets containing either 40 mg/kg feed vitamin E (control) or 150 mg/kg feed Vitamin E for nine months. The birds were slaughtered at 12 months of age. The effect of different the levels of vitamin E and heat shrink treatment of vacuum packaging material on the shelf life of refrigerated (0°C) ostrich M. flexor cruris lateralis, was evaluated over 81 days. Vitamin E and heat shrink treatments were found to have had no significant effect on the sensory characteristics; off-meat aroma, sourness, juiciness and mealiness. Rancidity was found to be slightly more pronounced (although
Molecular Mechanisms of Phosphate Homeostasis in Escherichia coli

Life ’ s processes absolutely require inorganic phosphate for structural and energetic pur- poses. Escherichia coli has developed sophisticated mechanisms to acquire phosphate and to maintain intracellular amounts at optimal levels. The processes by which these simple cells maintain stable intracellular concentrations of phosphate are termed phosphate homeostasis, which involves mechanisms to balance the import, assimilation, sequestra- tion, and export of phosphate. This chapter introduces the proteins involved in phosphate homeostasis and reviews information concerning the multiple phosphate transporters and the mechanisms by which they are regulated. It also introduces new concepts of how this bacterium responds to elevated extracellular levels of phosphate and presents a model for the integration of all of these processes to achieve homeostasis. The predominant importers are PitA, PitB, and the PstSCAB complex. Assimilation, or the incorporation of Pi into organic molecules, occurs primarily through the formation of ATP. Gene regulation relies on the PhoB/PhoR two-component system and the formation of a signaling complex at the membrane. The amount of intracellular phosphate can be fine-tuned through the formation or degradation of polyphosphate. Polyphosphate formation requires adequate supplies of ATP. In addition, when intracellular phosphate levels become too high, phosphate can be exported through PitA, PitB, or the YjbB transporters.

What Do People Like about Mathematics

In this discussion paper we look at questions that adults have about numbers. Many of their questions are not about pure mathematics, but about personal, cultural or societal issues. We discuss how to connect mathematical topics with things people are interested in, based on theoretic knowledge from the field of science communication. We focus on using narratives to make mathematics more personal, how to use games as demonstrations and different ways to present the same mathematical problem in different societal settings.
Trimmed likelihood estimators for stochastic differential equations with an application to crack growth analysis from photos

We introduce trimmed likelihood estimators for processes given by a stochastic differential equation for which a transition density is known or can be approximated and present an algorithm to calculate them. To measure the fit of the observations to a given stochastic process, two performance measures based on the trimmed likelihood estimator are proposed. The approach is applied to crack growth data which are obtained from a series of photos by backtracking large cracks which were detected in the last photo. Such crack growth data are contaminated by several outliers caused by errors in the automatic image analysis. We show that trimming 20% of the data of a growth curve leads to good results when 100 obtained crack growth curves are fitted with the Ornstein- Uhlenbeck process and the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross processes while the fit of the Geometric Brownian Motion is significantly worse. The method is sensitive in the sense that crack curves obtained under different stress conditions provide significantly different parameter estimates.
Studying the effect of Keap1 on innate immune signaling pathways in Mycobacterium avium infection

The Mycobacterium species include pathogens causing serious diseases in mammals. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), while it has low virulence to normal people, it is a high potential pathogen causing TB-like disease in AIDS patients. Keap1 have studies by many researchers as a potential treatment in cancers. And its multi-binding property might give it an important role as a link between ROS, inflammation and autophagy. We knocked down the Keap1 in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages and investigated its role in immune response mechanism and killing of M. avium in human primary macrophages. Here, we found that not only IKKβ is under Keap1’s effect, but also all IKK complex molecules and TBK1 are also affected by Keap1. This leads to the higher protein level of NF-κB in Keap1 knockdown compared to control cells. Moreover, in autophagy, Keap1 has negative effect on accumulation of LC3B ii protein-related autophagy. Further investigation, we observed that Keap1 allows the growth of intracellular mycobacteria during 3 days of infection. Our study was done in vitro and limited to the macrophages only, in summary, it does not necessarily mean that the Keap1 gives disadvantage in controlling the M. avium infection. The role of Keap1 in the adaptive immune system should be studied to see clearly the effect of Keap1 in whole system.
The Moderating Effect of Media Synchronicity in the Communication Media Use and Knowledge Creation

Social communications using information and communication technologies (ICT) for social interactions have been making a significant impact on task performance in organizations. However, most of the existing studies on ICT (e.g., telephone and email) have only focused on technical improvement of communication efficiencies (e.g., information exchange and storage). In this paper, we claim that ICT may be another alternative source of knowledge creation that enables employees to work, find solu tions, and achieve their goals faster and better. We investigate the impact of ICT in terms of both tasks and social aspects with knowledge creation as task performance. Also, we investigate the moderating effect of media synchronicity on these relationships. This study contributes to the understanding of contemporary communications media usage and its performance in organizations. We collected and analyzed survey data of 248 company employees, using PLS. The results indicate that task urgency and social influence directl y affect ICT usage, and even knowledge creation. Also the media synchronicity moderates the relationship between the characteristics of a given task and ICT usage and the relationship between ICT usage and knowledge creation. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are also discussed in the paper.
Service quality management in microcloud- based IoT infrastructure

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emergent technology that offers great opportunities to enhance economic indices and productivity of enterprises, to improve the quality of consumers’ lives, and to enable more efficient use of resources. In this paper, the authors propose an approach to Microcloud-based IoT infrastructure management to provide the desired quality of IT services with rational use of IT resources. Efficiency of IoT infrastructure management can be estimated by the quality of services and the management costs. The task of operational service quality management is to maintain a given level of service quality with the use of minimum IT resources in IoT environment. The proposed approach allows the efficient use of resources for IT services’ provision in IoT ecosystem through the implementation of service level coordination, resource planning and service level management processes in an integrated IT infrastructure management system.
THE EFFECTS OF LISTENING TO PREFERRED MUSIC ON POSITIVE EMOTIONS AND SELF-REGULATORY STRENGTH DEPLETION PATTERNS USING ISOMETRIC HANDGRIP EXERCISE.

Self-regulation refers to the ability to override one behaviour, thought, or emotion and replace it with another (Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996). Baumeister et ai. (1998) propose that self-regulation is governed by a form of strength that varies from person to person and can be depleted by engaging in tasks that require self-regulation. Although self-regulation strength can be depleted, it may also be replenished through rest and other hypothesized mechanisms. Positive emotion has been suggested as a way to replenish depleted self-regulatory reserves (Tice et aI., 2007). The purpose of the CUlTent study was to investigate the effects of listening to self-selected uplifting music on positive emotional states and the effect of varying positive emotional states on self-regulatory strength depletion patterns. It was hypothesized that the group that listened to a selection of prefened music would show an increase in positive emotion on the PANAS measure and that the positive emotion induction would serve as a replenishment of self-regulation, which would lead to amelioration of depletion effects on a handgrip squeezing exercise performed after this induction. The study employed a between subjects, repeated measures design. Participants were 90 sedentary university students (Mage =22.90 ± 7.18) who were randomly assigned to one of three conditions; (Stroop) Depletion/Music (emotion induction), Depletion/No Music (quiet rest control), or No Depletion/No Music (no depletion control and quiet rest control). After controlling for initial positive emotion scores, ANOVA results revealed that participants showed significantly higher scores on the positive emotion scale of the PANAS, F(2,87) = 7.84, p < . 01. 11 =. 73 after listening
Influence of Women Factors on Modern Contraceptive Usage among Currently Married Women in Malawi

Family planning and family planning interventions are among the most cost-effective health interventions especially considering their close link with maternal and infant health and survival. This study employed logistic regression analysis to assess the influence of women factors on modern contraceptive use among currently married women in Malawi using 2010 Malawi demographic and health survey data. Findings of logistic regression analysis show that level of education of the woman, current age of the woman and the fertility preference of the woman are significantly related to modern contraceptive use when analysis is done on the association of contraceptive use with women factors. Controlling for couple factors, the analysis found level of education of the woman, current age of the woman, fertility preference of the woman, religious affiliation and type of place of residence to be significantly related to modern contraceptive use. Results in the full model which controlled for both couple and partner factors found current age of the woman, fertility preference of the woman, religious affiliation and current age of the partner to be significantly related to modern contraceptive use among Malawian women. The fact that the fertility preference of a woman remains statistically significant throughout the analysis is a pointer on how policy makers and program implementers need to come in to support Malawian women to ensure that their contraceptive needs are met. Availing a wide range of contraceptive choice for all women will help to address the unmet need for family planning services and hence contribute towards improving the health of both mothers and children, reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and reducing family sizes by limiting unintended and unwanted pregnancies.

A low-power data acquisition system for geomagnetic observatories and variometer stations

Abstract. A modern geomagnetic observatory must provide data of high stability, continuity, and resolution. The INTERMAGNET network has therefore specified quantitative criteria to ensure a high quality standard of geomagnetic observatories. Here, we present a new data acquisition system which was designed to meet these criteria, in particular with respect to 1 Hz data. This system is based on a Raspberry Pi embedded PC and runs a C+ + data acquisition software. As a result, the data acquisition system is modular, cheap, and flexible, and it can be operated in remote areas with limited power supply. In addition, the system is capable of near-real-time data transmission, using a reverse SSH tunnel to work with any network available. The system hardware was successfully tested at the Niemegk observatory for a period of 1 year and subsequently installed at the Tatuoca observatory in Brazil.
ASAC 2009

The aim of the study is to investigate consumers’ purchasing patterns and WillingnessTo-Pay (WTP) premium prices for organic food products. Despite the increasing availability of organic food (OF), very little is known about the factors that most influence their WTP for OF compared to conventional food products. More specifically, we seek to determine differences in the influence of consumers’ profile, purchasing patterns, and satisfaction on consumers’ Willingness-To-Pay for OF products.
Assessing Gene Expression and Methylation of KMT2D and IGF2 Genes in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Background: Aberrant promoter methylation of CpG islands is an important mechanism for regulation of gene expression. Recent data suggest that epigenetic abnormalities may occur very early in lung carcinogenesis. Systemic methylation changes may be a diagnostic marker for tumor development or prognosis. In this study, the expression and methylation of KMT2D and IGF2 genes were investigated in the lung cancer tissue compared to the adjacent normal tissue.Methods: The status of methylation of KMT2D and IGF2 genes were investigated in 30 patients with NSCLC after genomic DNA extraction using bisulfite treatment and MS-HRM method and the expression of these genes were checked by Real-Time PCR method in same samples.Results: For KMT2D gene, the expression and methylation level increased in 46.6% and 6.67% (respectively) for tumor samples comparison with normal samples (P>0.05). Also, for IGF2 gene 50% tumor samples overexpressed and 50% tumor samples showed that reduced expression comparison with the normal samples (P>0.05). In addition, 96.66% of tumor tissues did not show any change in methylation level for IGF2 gene promoter (P>0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that expression and methylation level of KMT2D and IGF2 genes did not change in NSCLC tumor samples compared to normal samples. However, this study was designed as a pilot study, and further investigations are required to confirm our findings.
Drawbacks in SMEs‟ EIS Applications: Framework for Development of EIS for SMEs in Sri Lanka

The Small and Medium Scale Enterprises/Industries (SMEs) function as a lifeline in the informal sector in SriLanka due to their significant contribution to the overall economy in terms of employment, exports,innovation, tax income, equitable income distribution, social stability, domestic resources usage, andregional development. However, in Sri Lanka, a majority of Enterprise Information System (EIS)applications have not been focused by those ‘small players’ in the economy. The paper first identifies factorsthat contribute to SMEs relatively lower level of attraction towards EISs, using TOE Framework, which wastested mainly to assess the organization willingness on ICT in developing countries. Finally, the paperexplains the ways and means by which the EIS vendors, SME and IT policy makers can address the gapbetween the current level and the potential for SME EIS adoption. Therefore the research findings helpSMEs to create business opportunities with EIS applications and combat pressures from competition.Further specific SME ICT needs to be addressed strategically, in order to ensure their competitive position inthe economy, will be discussed KEYWORDS: SME, Enterprise Information Systems/EIS, Enterprise Resource Planning/ERP, TOEFramework, ICT Adoption.
Use of Antimicrobial Dips for the reduction of surface microbial load of fresh fruits sold in South Delhi Markets, India

Fruits and vegetables are exceptional dietary source of nutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and fibre for human beings hence vital for health and fitness. Well balanced foods, rich in fruits and vegetables, are especially valuable for their ability to prevent deficiencies of vitamin C and vitamin A and also reduce the risk of several diseases (Kalia and Gupta, 2006). These fruits and vegetables promote good health; they harbor a wide range of microbial contaminants, thus undermining their nutritional and health benefits, thereby increasing outbreaks of human infections associated with the consumption of fresh (or minimally processed) fruits and vegetables (Hedberg et al; 1994; Altekruse and Swerdlow, 1996; Beuchat, 1996, Beuchat, 1998, Beuchat, 2002).

The Complete Light-curve Sample of Spectroscopically Confirmed SNe Ia from Pan-STARRS1 and Cosmological Constraints from the Combined Pantheon Sample

We present optical light curves, redshifts, and classifications for spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Medium Deep Survey. We detail improvements to the PS1 SN photometry, astrometry, and calibration that reduce the systematic uncertainties in the PS1 SN Ia distances. We combine the subset of PS1 SNe Ia (0.03 < z < 0.68) with useful distance estimates of SNe Ia from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), SNLS, and various low-z and Hubble Space Telescope samples to form the largest combined sample of SNe Ia, consisting of a total of SNe Ia in the range of 0.01 < z < 2.3, which we call the “Pantheon Sample. ” When combining Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements with the Pantheon SN sample, we find and for the wCDM model. When the SN and CMB constraints are combined with constraints from BAO and local H0 measurements, the analysis yields the most precise measurement of dark energy to date: and for the CDM model. Tension with a cosmological constant previously seen in an analysis of PS1 and low-z SNe has diminished after an increase of 2× in the statistics of the PS1 sample, improved calibration and photometry, and stricter light-curve quality cuts. We find that the systematic uncertainties in our measurements of dark energy are almost as large as the statistical uncertainties, primarily due to limitations of modeling the low-redshift sample. This must be addressed for future progress in using SNe Ia to measure dark energy.

Iris boundary detection using a novel algorithm

One of the difficult tasks in iris recognition is to detect the boundary between the iris region and the pupil region. This is due to the low texture contrast between them. In order to capture the degree of texture contrast between iris region and pupil region, we propose a novel algorithm that hybrid a difference function with a factor matrix. Experiments show that this algorithm can detect the boundary between iris region and pupil region accurately. Based on this algorithm, the percentage of successful segmentation is 99.34%.
Advanced Composites in Construction

This paper presents preliminary results of an experimental programme that investigated mechanical properties of a balanced-symmetric CFRP fabric laminate. Although FRP fabrics have potential to be formed into efficient reinforcement systems that can enable the development of innovative low embodied energy concrete structures, very little research on applications of FRP fabrics has been reported in the literature. In accordance with the classical laminate theory, in a balanced-symmetric laminate there is no coupling between in-plane deformation and curvature, nor between in-plane normal loading and shear deformation. As a result of the choice of lay-up arrangement the flexural reinforcement systems in concrete beams can be designed by considering the conventional section equilibrium analysis.
