Multiple vector-valued, mixed norm estimates for Littlewood-Paley square functions

We prove that for any $L^Q$-valued Schwartz function $f$ defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$, one has the multiple vector-valued, mixed norm estimate $$ \| f \|_{L^P(L^Q)} \lesssim \| S f \|_{L^P(L^Q)} $$ valid for every $d$-tuple $P$ and every $n$-tuple $Q$ satisfying $0 < P, Q < \infty$ componentwise. Here $S:= S_{d_1}\otimes . \otimes S_{d_N}$ is a tensor product of several Littlewood-Paley square functions $S_{d_j}$ defined on arbitrary Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^{d_j}$ for $1\leq j\leq N$, with the property that $d_1 + . + d_N = d$. This answers a question that came up implicitly in our recent works and completes in a natural way classical results of the Littlewood-Paley theory. The proof is based on the \emph{helicoidal method} introduced by the authors.
Characterization of yeasts for ethanolic fermentation of molasses with high sugar concentrations.

Five yeast isolates obtained from molassess (1,3A and 3B) or jaggery (Gl and G2) and three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, S. cerevisiae MTCC 172, S. cerevisiae MTCC 174, and S. cerevisiae HAU-11 were examined for theirethanol production ability in molasses with high sugar concentrations and other desirable fermentation characteristics. Four strains, isolate 3B, S. cerevisiae HAU-11, S. cerevisiae MTCC 174 and S. cerevisiae MTCC 172, gave high efficiency of ethanol production, i.e., 71.0, 67.0, 66.7, and 61.5 per cent, respectively, in concentrated molasses (40 per cent sugars). Viability of the yeast strains was quite high in diluted molasses but decreased drastically with increase in concentration of sugars in the medium and also by prolonged incubation. The four superior strains (3B, S. cerevisiae MTCC 172, S. cerevisiae MTCC 174, and S. cerevisiae HAU-11) showed viability between 57 to 71 per cent in molasses with sugar concentration of 35- 40 per cent. Although isolates Gl and 3A produced maximum biomass but they were poor ethanol producers, while the four strains (3B, S. cerevisiae MTCC 172, S. cerevisiae MTCC 174, and S. cerevisiae HAU-11) produced less biomass but yielded higher ethanol content. Further, these strains adapted faster in fermentation media with high sugar concentrations as compared to other yeast cultures. These 4 strains were found to be highly ethanol tolerant (16 per cent, v/v), while rest of the strains could not grow in the presence of ethanol content of more than 10 per cent. None of the yeast strains studied showed high flocculence, it varied between 1 to 4.
Progenitors of Long Gamma‐Ray Bursts

Pinpointing the progenitors of long duration gamma‐ray bursts (LGRBs) remains an extremely important question. Although it is now clear that at least a fraction of LGRBs originate in the core collapse of massive stars in type Ic supernovae, the pathways to the production of these stars, and their initial masses, remain uncertain. Rotation is thought to be vital in the creation of LGRBs, and it is likely that black hole creation is also necessary. We suggest that these two constraints can be met if the GRB progenitors are very massive stars > 20 M⊙ and are formed in tight binary systems. Using simple models we compare the predictions of this scenario with observations and find that the location of GRBs on their host galaxies are suggestive of main‐sequence masses in excess of 20 M⊙, while 50% of the known compact binary systems may have been sufficiently close to have had the necessary rotation rates for GRB creation. Thus, massive stars in compact binaries are a likely channel for at least some fraction o.
Time and Money: Understanding the Education Choices of Working Australians

Australian workers are constantly reminded of the desirability of upgrading their skills in a rapidly changing work landscape. However, comparatively little is known about the relative importance of the factors impacting on the employees’ decisions to undertake further education. This paper presents the results of an experimental choice analysis of worker’s decisions to undertake formal courses of study. This novel approach to the question of participation produces findings that are broadly supportive of previous revealed preference studies.
Interactive comment on “ The Global Monsoon across Time Scales : is there coherent variability of regional monsoons ? ” by P . X

Following the reviewer’s comment, the revised subtitle reads “coherent variability of regional monsoons”, but it does not exclude regional difference. In response to the annual variation of insolation, the global monsoon system is intrinsically anti-symmetric about the equator: In the summer hemisphere is enhanced rainfall (ascending motion, upper-level divergence and low-level convergence and associated upper-level anticyclone and low-level cyclone systems), whereas in the winter hemisphere are precipitation and circulation patterns with opposite signs. Similarly, the coherent variability of the GM under change of orbital forcing does not mean the monsoon rainfall or circulation at various regions have the same signs of anomalies. Rather, it may feature hemispheric anti-phased patterns depending on the spatial-temporal structure of the insolation. So a dynamically coherent GM response pattern can vary from region to region.
Exercici físic terapèutic i suplements per al tractament de la fibromiàlgia

Introduction: The prevalence of fibromyalgia in developed countries is over 2.1%. Nowadays, there is no effective treatment for it and different mitigating treatments such as therapeutic exercise are performed instead. In recent years, supplements have also emerged. Objectives: To review and update the evidence on treatment of fibromyalgia symptoms with therapeutic physical exercise and supplements. To achieve this, treatment application times and the duration of treatment programs will be considered. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out on Pubmed database. As a result, 695 studies on therapeutic exercise and 53 on supplements were found. From these, 18 therapeutic exercise studies and 8 supplements studies were selected. They were all chosen and assessed according to their methodological quality, which was measured using the PEDro scale. Results: Evidence showed that pain and quality of life are improved by the practice of almost any type of physical activity and the intake of Q10 coenzyme or vitamin D supplements. Sleep quality is enhanced by combination of physical exercise and relaxation. Depression, anxiety and mood are improved by the performance of aerobic, flexibility exercises and aquatic biodance. Conclusions: Therapeutic physical exercise and supplements may be an interesting alternative or complement when treating some fibromyalgia symptoms. © 2017 FC Barcelona.

L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és conèixer els efectes i l’efectivitat de diferents exercicis terapèutics i suplements dietètics i farmacològics per tractar el dolor, la qualitat de vida, la depressió i la qualitat del son dels pacients amb fibromiàlgia amb la revisió de les recerques publicades en aquest camp, que ens permetrà establir algunes recomanacions sobre l’exercici físic terapèutic i els suplements per als pacients, d’acord amb els seus símptomes.
Outside Directors at Early-Stage Startups

We document substantial variation across startups in whether and when they appoint outside directors, and the type of directors they appoint. The startup-director match depends on professional connections and individual experience profiles. Early-stage investors are more likely to serve as outside directors when there is a local scarcity of directors. Outside directors leverage their professional connections to attract new investors, directors, top executives, and potential acquirers for startups. Overall, presence of an early-stage outside director is associated with better funding outcomes and higher probability of exit through IPO, although presence of an investor-director makes exit via acquisition more likely.
Stochastic spin flips in polariton condensates: nonlinear tuning from GHz to sub-Hz

The stability of spin of macroscopic quantum states to intrinsic noise is studied for non-resonantly-pumped optically-trapped polariton condensates. We demonstrate flipping between the two spin-polarised states with >104 slow-down of the flip rate by tuning the optical pump power. Individual spin flips faster than 50 ps are time resolved using single-shot streak camera imaging. We reproduce our results within a mean-field model accounting for cross-spin scattering between excitons and polaritons, yielding a ratio of cross- to co-spin scattering of ∼0.6, in contrast with previous literature suggestions.
Comparison of various eucalyptus species for their morphological, chemical, pulp and paper making characteristics

Eleven eucalyptus species are characterized for morphological, chemical, pulp and paper-making characteristics to get high pulp yield of good strength through social forestry in north Indian topological conditions. Eucalyptus grandis of Bhadrachalam and Saharanpur origins give very good fibre dimensions, especially slenderness ratio, which is directly comparable to Pinus kesiya. Other eucalyptus species have shorter fibres and narrow lumen with thick wall resulting to poorer flexibility, higher Runkel ratio and rigidity coefficient. The chemical analysis of eucalyptus species reveal satisfactory levels of holocellulose (except Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and Klason lignin content ( 25%) lignin content except E. ‒413 (hybrid) might require additional pulping time and chemical charge compared to other species. Kappa number ( 48%) and higher strength properties of E. grandis of Bhadrachalam and Saharanpur origins, Eucalyptus torrelliana, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus alba showed their suitability for social forestry.
Effects of Syntactical Mediation, Age, and Modes of Representation on Paired-Associate Learning.

HUGHES, S. EILEEN DOLORES, and WALSH, JOHN F. Effects of Syntactical Mediation, Age, and Modes of Representation on Paired-Associate Learning. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1971, 42, 1827-1836. Syntactical mediation, in general, and the effects of diferent parts of speech within syntactical mediators, in particular, were investigated. In addition, the efficacy of syntactical mediation with diferent modes of representation (words and pictures) and across different age groups (second, fourth, and sixth grades) was evaluated. 240 girls, 80 from each grade level, served as Ss. The learning task consisted of paired associates, either names or pictures of single familiar objects. Syntactical mediation produced facilitating efects; conjunctions, prepositions, and verbs produced more facilitation than names alone; pictures were learned more readily than words at all grade levels; however, the predicted developmental shift based on Piaget's concept of stages of intelligence was present.
In vitro Antitumor Activities of Platycarya strobilacea Sieb et Zucc Infructescence Extracts

Purpose: To evaluate the antitumor activities of Platycarya strobilacea infructescence extracts in A549, HepG2, SH-SY-5Y, HCT116, and U2OS-NKFB cell lines. Methods : The total amount of phenolics in P. strobilacea infructescence based on three solvent extracts (methanol, ethyl acetate and water) was measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent method. The cytotoxic effect of the various solvent extracts and tannins on five cancerous cell lines (A549, HepG2, SH-SY-5Y, HCT116, and U2OS-NKFB) were assayed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide [MTT]. Results: Ethyl acetate extract had the highest phenolic content (725.02 mg GAE/g), followed by methanol extract (627.64 mg GAE/g). Among the extracts tested, ethyl acetate extract had effective anticancer activity against A549, HepG2, HCT116 and U2OS-NKFB cells with IC 50 values of 40.1, 42.6, 40.1 and 73.4 μg/mL, respectively. Methanol extract had the strongest cytotoxic effect on SH-SY-5Y cell with IC 50 value of 31.2 μg/mL. The number of surviving cancerous cells decreased as the concentration of the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts increased. Conclusion : The study confirms the antitumor activities of ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of P. strobilacea infructescence. Thus, the plant extracts constitute potential therapeutic materials that require further studies and development. Keywords: Platycarya strobilacea , Antitumor, Phenolic compounds, Tannins, MTT assay
Materialidade da Comunicação - um conceito para a Ciência da Comunicação?

Esta contribuicao tem o objetivo de apresentar e discutir o conceito da materialidade da comunicacao a partir do obra homonima publicado em alemao em 1988, e traduzido parcialmente para o ingles. "Materialidade da Comunicacao" e um programa de pesquisa que pretende indagar sobre as condicoes, o lugar, o suporte e as modalidades de producao de sentido, que, por si, sao isentos de sentido. Foi desenvolvido no centro de estudos avancados em pos-graduacao de Siegen, Alemanha, com a area de concentracao denominada "Formas de comunicacao e formas de vida". Participaram deste projeto interdisciplinar pesquisadores de varias disciplinas, tais como letras e ciencias sociais; e foi a busca para um consenso minimo sobre o conteudo especifico dessa area que gerou a ideia de que qualquer comunicacao precisa uma componente de materialidade, sendo este o fundamento basico do conceito.
Educación superior a distancia. Una modalidad educativa posibilitadora de inclusión

The higher distance education (also known as “on-line”, “virtual” or “e-learning”) in Mexico is a possibility for those who can not have access to education in face to face and semipresencial modalities. This modality of education is being offered in an accelerated manner in public universities as a way to serve the vulnerable population, which does not have the possibility of access to the conventional university, with this the universities increase their coverage to the growing demand for public education (free). With these actions, mexican public universities have increased their enrollment and with it the national coverage in higher education. In this text, we will present a comparative analysis on: a) the growth of the offer of higher distance education in the last two presidential six-year terms, and b) on the challenges that this educational modality faces to be more inclusive. One of the conclusions is that the student population in this educational modality, they are asked for the capacity of self-regulation and communication skills as well as for logical thinking; which in many of the occasions they do not have because these populations -the vulnerablehave been schooled in “poor” educational options and the social context in which they develop has not made possible the development of these skills, which leads many students to drop out of their studies in the first school periods or their low results. Thereby, the panorama of distance education is complex and must be taken care of by institutions when setting their attention to a vulnerable population or educational backwardness.

Znaczenie usług w globalnych łańcuchach wartości krajów Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej

Streszczenie: W artykule dokonano oceny znaczenia usług w globalnych łańcuchach wartości dziesięciu krajów Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej (tj. Bułgarii, Czech, Estonii, Litwy, Łotwy, Polski, Rumunii, Słowacji, Słowenii i Węgier – EŚW) w latach 2000-2014. W tym celu wyznaczono macierz przepływów wartości dodanej w gospodarce światowej. Do obliczeń wykorzystano światowe tablice przepływów międzygałęziowych pochodzące z bazy WIOD Release 2016. Z przeprowadzonego badania wynikało, że w eksporcie krajów najbardziej zaangażowanych w globalnych łańcuchach wartości, tj. Czech, Słowacji, Słowenii i Węgier, wysoki był udział zagranicznych usług (silne powiązania w tył łańcucha). W pozostałych krajach Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej relatywnie duży był udział krajowych usług, które znalazły się w eksporcie innych krajów (silne powiązania w przód łańcucha wartości).
An innovative tool for winemakers: sequential inoculation with a non-Sacchoromyces yeast and a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast

In the past, when alcoholic fermentation was carried out by wild yeasts present in the winery, the conversion of sugars into alcohol and the production of aromatic compounds occurred by sheer luck, making alcoholic fermentation a risky process. clearly, the qualitative risks were very real. Aromatic deviations, such as piqûre acétique, and other problems related to fermentation, were frequent. the utilization of selected yeasts in an active dry form has gradually changed practices and made alcoholic fermentation much more reliable.
An Experimental Investigation of Positionally Conditioned Tone Sandhi in Hailu Hakka

Previous research on tonal sandhi patterns in Chinese dialects has shown that native speakers internalize the sandhi patterns differently depending on their phonological nature. The T3 sandhi in Mandarin (1) applies productively to novel words (Zhang and Lai 2010), while the sandhis in the circular chain shift in Taiwanese Southern Min (2) do not (Hsieh 1976, Wang 1993, Zhang et al. 2011). In addition, in auditory lexical decision with auditory priming, Mandarin disyllabic words that undergo the T3 sandhi (e.g., /fu-dao/ “to assist”) are significantly primed by a T3 monosyllable (fu), but not by a T2 monosyllable (fu), when compared to a control prime (fu) (Chien et al. 2016a), while Taiwanese words undergoing the 51→55 sandhi primarily exhibit surface tone priming (Chien et al. 2016b). These results have been interpreted as an opacity effect: tone sandhis that are motivated by surface-true phonotactic generalizations are represented in their underlying tones and derivable through productive phonological processes, while those that are not rely primarily on lexical listing and are represented in their surface tones.
Clinical significance of ADAM10 and ADAM17 in gastric and colorectal cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: The expression and prognostic value of ADAM10 and ADAM17 in gastric and colorectal cancers remained controversial. We performed a meta-analysis of cohort studies to evaluate the clinical significance of ADAM10 and ADAM17 in gastric and colorectal cancers. Materials and methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library database, VIP and CNKI were systematically searched. Cohort studies assessing the expression and prognostic value of ADAM10 and ADAM17 in gastric and colorectal cancers were included. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effect model. Results: Five cohort studies involving 1150 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, higher expression of ADAM10 and ADAM17 were found in T3-4 cancer than T1-2 cancer (OR=0.29; 95% CI=0.21 to 0.40; P<0.0001), N-positive cancer than N-negative cancer (OR=4.36; 95% CI=2.25 to 8.45; P<0.0001), cancer with distant metastasis than cancer without metastasis (OR=0.09; 95% CI=0.02 to 0.37; P=0.0008) in patients with gastric cancer, but the expression of ADAM10 and ADAM17 showed no relationship with cancer grade (G3 versus G1-2, OR=0.75; 95% CI=0.55 to 1.03; P=0.07). While in patient with colorectal cancer, ADAM10 and ADAM17 showed higher expression in patients with G3 compared to G1-2 (OR=0.30; 95% CI=0.15 to 0.62; P=0.001), N-positive cancer patients than N-negative cancer patients (OR=23.53; 95% CI=6.88 to 80.47; P<0.0001), cancer with distant metastasis than cancer without metastasis (OR=0.10; 95% CI=0.02 to 0.60; P=0.01), but the expression of ADAM10 and ADAM17 demonstrated no connection with T category (T3-4 cancer versus T1-2 cancer, OR=3.53; 95% CI=1.01 to 12.41; P=0.05). Conclusion: ADAM10 and ADAM10 were reliable for determining the T category, N category, distant metastasis and tumor grade of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer, and they hold some promise in identifying the prognosis of digestive cancers.

Effects of Slag Content on Self-Healing Behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites

Slag, the by-product from blast furnace, is often used to partially replace the cement in engineered cementitious composites (ECC), a novel type of fiber reinforced concrete with self-healing potential. This study investigated the effects of slag content on self-healing robustness of ECC. Three different cement replacing ratios, i.e 0%, 30%, and 60% (referred as GGBS0, 30, and 60), were involved. For each slag content level, the healing-induced crack width recovery and resonant frequency (RF) recovery were check against a wide range of single-crack width (up to 300 μm). Such methodology eliminated the influence of crack width on self-healing, and focused on the effects of slag content only. The results show that GGBS30 had the most crack width recovery, allowing full RF recovery at crack width of 86 μm. For GGBS0 and GGBS60, the allowable crack width for full RF recovery was only 36 μm and 59 μm, respectively.
