Individual player developmental model in ice-hockey

Date of presentation of thesis 11.5. 2011 Degree programme Authors Jukka Varmanen Group DP VI The title of your thesis Individual player development model in ice-hockey Number of pages and appendices 42+8 Supervisors Markus Arvaja Kari Savolainen Kirsi Hämäläinen In the past few years, there has been plenty of discussion about individual player development in Finnish hockey hockey-scene. Rarely you hear the actual models to practically implement the individual player development to the “team-first coaching – win now” mode that is usually been the way to coach in Finland, even on the junior level. During this action research there was a model established to enhance the individual player development in ice-hockey. It was done through one ice-hockey season and it is structured around goal-setting and self-evaluation, as both of the aforementioned features supported the objectives of the research: To develop a model to develop individual player, to increase communication in the player-coach relationship, to increase the players ́ self-awareness and playing identity and to clarify the direction of the players ́ functions. This model proved to be effective in all the objectives that were had for the research. The player felt that he was better player after the project, player-coach communication expanded significantly, the players self-awareness and playing identity were clearer to the player than before and with the goal-setting there was direction to the players functions. The project full-filled the characteristics of an action research, as there was instant and practical benefit for the participants and there was constant observation and development of the model that was being developed. It was an interesting journey through one ice-hockey season with an individual player that opened new perceptions to player development but also to the team-coaching.
Do cave orb spiders show unique behavioural adaptations to subterranean life? A review of the evidence

Interest for subterranean biology has risen sharply in recent years due to the simplicity of the cave environment. However, most studies have focussed on morphology with few studies looking at behaviour. The cave orb spiders show some unique behavioural adaptations compared to other orb spiders, including rudimentary orb webs, off-web foraging and a complex life cycle with a surface phase. Here, we compare these behavioural adaptations in the European Meta menardi and Meta bourneti to similar behaviours in surface-dwelling orb spiders. We find that current data suggest (1) an extreme reduction in the number of frame threads, (2) evidence of capturing non-flying prey, but not necessarily evidence for off-web foraging and (3) dispersal through a surface-dwelling life stage, but with data lacking on the role of ballooning and their return to caves. We conclude that Meta spiders have potential as model organisms for studies on behavioural adaptations and flexibility.

Fish Assemblages, Growth Pattern and Environmental Factors in Upper Baleh River, Kapit, Sarawak

A survey of the freshwater fish composition in the upper Baleh River, Sarawak was conducted in 2015. A total of 1,538 specimens, comprising 45 species from nine families were collected using electrofishing devices and cast nets. The family Cyprinidae was the most dominant (62.9%) as well as diverse (42.2%) family, followed by the Balitoridae (31.0%; 31.1%) in the river. The three most dominant species were Tor tambra (18.1%), Lobocheilos ovalis (12.9%), and Parhomaloptera microstoma (11.3%). Shannon’s diversity index, Margalef’s richness index, and Pielou’s evenness index were 2.9, 6.0, and 0.8, respectively, an indication of moderate species diversity. Canonical Correspondence Analysis demonstrate that elevation, stream order and sedimentation were the most significant factors related to fish assemblages in the river, particularly for members of the families Cyprinidae and Balitoridae. The coefficient ‘n’ value in length-weight relationship for T. tambra, L. ovalis, and P. microstoma were determined as 2.92, 2.72, and 3.15, respectively. T. tambra and L. ovalis exhibited a negative allometric growth pattern which could be due to food competition whereas P. microstoma exhibited a positive allometric growth pattern as mountainous forest stream habitat offers favourable environmental conditions. The Fulton’s condition factor of each species indicates that T. tambra and L. ovalis were in poor condition, whereas P. microstoma was in extremely poor condition. It is hypothesized that environmental degradation caused by logging activities have affected the health of the most dominant fish species in the upper Baleh River. Further study should be conducted to determine the underlying factors that are affecting the fish diversity.

QoS Support Mechanisms in WiMAX

The Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) system has been specified by the IEEE 802.16d and its amendment IEEE 802.16e standard. The IEEE 802.16d and IEEE 802.16e standard defines the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer of the fixed and mobile broadband wireless access systems, respectively. Broadband wireless access (BWA) systems like WiMAX networks have been deployed not only to be complement and extension of existing last mile wired networks such as cable modem and xDSL but also to be competitor to wired broadband access networks. Due to the upcoming air interface technologies, which promise to deliver high transmission data rates, BWA systems become an attractive alternative. IEEE 802.16d supports both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) ABSTRACT
An improved Chord routing algorithm

One of key issues confronted by P2P network applications is how to efficiently locate the nodes that store particular resourses.The Full-Chord algorithm proposed in this paper,which inherits the features of simplicity,high efficiency,high reliability,balanced load and low overhead of original Chord algorithm,expands the finger table of the original Chord algorithm.As a result,the search of a particular node can be restricted in the scope of an half Chord-Circle at the very beginning of the seaching process,and therefore the efficiency is greatly improved.Theoretical analysis and simulating experiments show that the efficiency of Full-Chord algorithm is obviously superior to original Chord algorithm.

Dynamic Service Matchmaking Model and Algorithm

In the service industry, individual customer service requirements are different from the market demands. The requirements determined by the market demand are called static requirements, and those determined by individual customers in specific service processes are dynamic requirements. The service system is constructed according to the static requirements, to meet the market demand, and then, in each service process, the service system must combine its capabilities with the dynamic requirements of the specified customer to provide customized services. Using the dynamic requirements as input, the service system realizes its value in co-creation with the customers more efficiently. Dynamic service matchmaking is the process of matching the dynamic requirements of a specific customer to the service system’s capabilities, giving the most suitable service recommendation or customization. By using the theory of Ontology, the authors present a dynamic requirement description model. In this model, they first decompose services and requirements into sub-items. They then map these items to requirement ontology trees to calculate the similarity between service and requirement items. Finally, the authors calculate the weighted average of those similarities as the result of matchmaking. A dynamic service matchmaking problem is presented as an example for further explanation. The multi-stage dynamic matchmaking model takes this issue for a more complex situation and tries to compose a service bundle for a series of dynamic requirements.

Grid Portal for Multiple Sequence Alignment

Multiple sequence alignment is by far the most common task in computational biology. At the same time it is very computationally demanding optimisation problem. In this paper we describe a new Grid environment designed to facilitate access to the parallel multiple sequence alignment software. Our user–oriented Grid interface provides a uniform access to several popular alignment packages like, for example, ClustalW–MPI or Parallel PhyloBuilder, and it allows large alignment instances to be solved in parallel efficiently.
Geographic variation in dispersal distance facilitates range expansion of a lake shore plant in response to climate change

Geographic variation in dispersal abilities is widespread and likely to affect species' range dynamics in response to climate change. However, distribution models that predict climate‐induced range shifts do not account for spatial variation in dispersal. We developed an eco‐genetic model to investigate how variation in dispersal distances across a species' range could interact with climate‐induced selection and alter predicted range dynamics in a species with documented variation in dispersal traits.
Myosin XVI Regulates Actin Cytoskeleton Dynamics in Dendritic Spines of Purkinje Cells and Affects Presynaptic Organization

The actin cytoskeleton is crucial for function and morphology of neuronal synapses. Moreover, altered regulation of the neuronal actin cytoskeleton has been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Myosin XVI is a neuronally expressed unconventional myosin known to bind the WAVE regulatory complex (WRC), a regulator of filamentous actin (F-actin) polymerization. Notably, the gene encoding the myosin’s heavy chain (MYO16) shows genetic association with neuropsychiatric disorders including ASD. Here, we investigated whether myosin XVI plays a role for actin cytoskeleton regulation in the dendritic spines of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), a neuronal cell type crucial for motor learning, social cognition and vocalization. We provide evidence that both myosin XVI and the WRC component WAVE1 localize to PC spines. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) analysis of GFP-actin in cultured PCs shows that Myo16 knockout as well as PC-specific Myo16 knockdown, lead to faster F-actin turnover in the dendritic spines of PCs. We also detect accelerated F-actin turnover upon interference with the WRC, and upon inhibition of Arp2/3 that drives formation of branched F-actin downstream of the WRC. In contrast, inhibition of formins that are responsible for polymerization of linear actin filaments does not cause faster F-actin turnover. Together, our data establish myosin XVI as a regulator of the postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton and suggest that it is an upstream activator of the WRC-Arp2/3 pathway in PC spines. Furthermore, ultra-structural and electrophysiological analyses of Myo16 knockout cerebellum reveals the presence of reduced numbers of synaptic vesicles at presynaptic terminals in the absence of the myosin. Therefore, we here define myosin XVI as an F-actin regulator important for presynaptic organization in the cerebellum.
Construction of restored model of fractured femurs based on anatomic features

Abstract To facilitate the construction of intact model of fractured bone and satisfy the representation of fracture information, a novel approach of constructing a restored model of fractured femur (RMFF) based on anatomic feature is put forward. First, the fracture mesh model is divided into major segments by removing the comminuted part. Next, through the constraint-based deformation of parameterized template with a few valid parameters of fracture segments, the intact reference surface model is constructed to represent normal anatomy of individual fractured femur, and the feature points of the reference model are extracted. Then, based on the solution of matrix equations of rigid registration between available feature points of fracture segments and the ones of the reference model, major fracture segments are piecewise adjusted to original proper positions respectively. Finally, the internal part of the reference model cut with the boundary curves of major segments is employed to represent the surface of the comminuted part, and the surface of the comminuted part is merged with adjusted segments to acquire the intact model. Simulation experimental results show that RMFFs can be reconstructed rapidly and accurately according to available information of the fractured femur.
Genetic associations of reticuloendothelial activity in chickens.

The level of reticuloendothelial (RE) activity in different genetic lines of chickens (Gallus domesticus) was evaluated by measuring the rate of in vivo clearance of colloidal carbon from the circulatory system. Several inbred lines, with inbreeding coefficients of 90-98%, were studied. Differences in RE activity among the inbred lines were highly significant {P< 0.05). The partially inbred Iowa State SI White Leghorn line was also studied. Chicks were produced in sublines from breeders selected for B blood group serotype, humoral immune response to the amino acid polymer, GAT, and response to Rous' sarcoma virus-induced (RSV) tumor development. Selection for response to RSV tumors, was significantly (P < 0.01) associated with level of RE activity. Sublines selected for ability to regress RSV tumors had a higher level of RE activity than those selected for tumor progression. These studies suggest that there is genetic control of reticuloendothelial activity in chickens which may be associated with the ability to genetically resist disease.
Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Surgery: A Narrative Review

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major and serious complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is independently associated with perioperative mortality and mortality. Therapeutic intervention aiming at reversing kidney dysfunction seems disappointing across multiple settings. Consequently, attention has shifted from treatment to prevention and early detection. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines have unified diagnostic standards mainly based on the serum creatinine (Scr) level or urine output, but neither marker is kidney specific. Efforts have been made to identify novel biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity. The diagnostic capabilities of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and G1 cell cycle arrest biomarker as biomarkers have been confirmed in a large number of clinical trials. The utility of biomarkers of cardiac function and inflammation has been validated in clinical studies. Aiming to offer valuable information for further research, we summarize the progress in defining current markers relevant to CSA-AKI in the last three years.
Defciência de macronutrientes em Cariniana estrellensis (Raddi) Kintze

O conhecimento dos efeitos da nutrição mineral sobre a fisiologia vegetal de espécies nativas é um importante auxílio para que se obtenha o sucesso desejado quando estas são usadas no reflorestamento ou na recuperação de áreas degradadas. A presente pesquisa avaliou as consequências da deficiência de macronutrientes em Cariniana estrellensis (Raddi) Kintze (jequitibá-branco) nas taxas de assimilação de gás carbônico e de transpiração e na produção de biomassa desta espécie, que é amplamente utilizada na restauração florestal no Brasil. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, em blocos ao acaso, com sete tratamentos e três repetições, empregando a técnica de diagnose por subtração de macronutrientes, com um tratamento controle no qual o jequitibá-branco foi cultivado em solução nutritiva completa, com todos os macros e micronutrientes. Os teores de nutrientes foram determinados por análise química nos diferentes órgãos do jequitibá-branco; através do analisador de gás por infravermelho portátil (Infrared Gás Analyzer – IRGA, modelo Li-cor 6400) foram determinadas as taxas de assimilação de gás carbônicoe de transpiração em folhas de três partes distintas das plantas, e ao final do experimento foi realizada a determinação da produção de biomassa seca. A deficiência dos macronutrientes, de um modo geral, prejudicou as taxas de assimilação de gás carbônico e de transpiração e, por conseguinte, a produção de biomassa seca das plantas jovens de jequitibá-branco foi menor em relação ao tratamento controle. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que a implantação de florestas ou a recuperação de áreas degradadas por meio do reflorestamento que utilizam o jequitibá-branco certamente serão prejudicados se a complementação nutricional não for realizada quando o solo for deficiente em qualquer dos macronutrientes.
Heterogeneous patterns of genetic variation at nuclear genes and quantitative traits in a Scots pine provenance trial

We studied the genetic variation in a set of nuclear genes analyzed from 16 populations of Scots pine derived from a 50-year-old provenance trial in Poland. At the same set of loci, the pattern of genetic variation was compared to several reference populations from a latitudinal gradient in Northern and Central Europe. Similar levels of nucleotide diversity were observed between the defined groups of Polish populations representing three climatic regions (πtotal = 0.0040–0.0051) in comparison with the reference samples (πtotal = 0.0054–0.0058). Polish populations showed minor but heterogeneous patterns of genetic variation between regional groups (FST up to 6%), which were caused by differentiation at specific loci. When outlier loci were excluded from between group comparisons, there were no differences between the Polish populations. Loci related to glycosyltransferase and laccase were identified as outliers, and were correlated with phenotypic differentiation using mixed-linear models. Moreover, these genes were also found as being potentially under selection across the Scots pine distribution range as the patterns of nucleotide variation correlated with latitude and altitude of the maternal stands. The provenance trial measurements have characterized a set of growth and developmental traits over 50 years and forms a suitable experimental system for detailed genetic studies.
