Symptom, family, and service predictors of children's psychiatric rehospitalization within one year of discharge.

OBJECTIVE To investigate predictors of readmission to inpatient psychiatric treatment for children aged 5 to 12 discharged from acute-care hospitalization. METHOD One hundred nine children were followed for 1 year after discharge from inpatient care. Time to rehospitalization was the outcome of interest. Predictors of readmission, examined via the Cox proportional hazards model, were symptom and family factors assessed at admission, aspects of psychiatric treatment, and demographic variables. RESULTS The Kaplan-Meier rehospitalization risk within 1 year of discharge, taking into account known readmissions and censored observations, was 0.37. Most readmissions (81%) occurred within 90 days of discharge. Four variables contributed simultaneously to predicting readmission risk. More severe conduct problems, harsh parental discipline, and disengaged parent-child relations conferred a higher risk for rehospitalization; these risks were attenuated when parents disclosed higher stress in their parenting roles. CONCLUSIONS Findings showed that psychiatric rehospitalization of children is common, most likely in the trimester after discharge, and highly related to both child symptoms and family factors measurable at admission. Results suggest that efforts to improve postdischarge outcomes of children should target the initial period following inpatient care, address vigorously the complex treatment needs of those with severe conduct problems, and aim to improve parent-child relations.
A Study on Naïve Bayes Classifier Based Document Classification Scheme with an Apriori Feature Extraction

A document classifier is an essential tool for classifying the various types of documents being generated in the Big Data era. In recent years, the wide variety of information services available for use with smartphones and portable mobile devices (tablets) have provided a technique that efficiently classifies the quality of sorted data. A common type of document classification scheme is the naive Bayes classifier. The Naive Bayes scheme is based on performance classification, which varies widely depending on the method of extraction used in the document. In this paper, we propose a system model that offers feature extraction methods which combine frequency with associated words. This model is then applied to the Naive Bayes classifier to precisely classify documents. This method is proposed as an alternative to using traditional classification techniques. In addition, experiments will be evaluated by the existing document classification techniques and the proposed techniques.
Intestinal microsporidiosis in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with chronic unexplained diarrhea: prevalence and clinical and biologic features.

Eighteen patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus and with chronic unexplained diarrhea were prospectively studied to investigate the prevalence and clinical and biologic features of intestinal microsporidiosis. All patients underwent extensive evaluation for bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens. Enterocytozoon bieneusi was found in 9 patients (50%; 95% confidence interval, 27-73) in stools and duodenal and jejunal biopsies. In 8 patients, it was the sole pathogen found. Other pathogens were also isolated from the intestinal tracts of 4 patients, but diarrhea remained unexplained in 6. Patients with intestinal microsporidiosis had significantly lower mean Karnofsky scores (69.4 vs. 85.5, P = .009), CD4 cell counts (18.6 vs. 209.8/microL, P = .02), and D-xylose absorption tests (0.13 vs. 0.36 g/L, P < .001) than did patients without intestinal microsporidiosis. Intestinal microsporidiosis appears to be a frequent cause of unexplained chronic diarrhea in patients with AIDS and is associated with diminished D-xylose absorption.
Social identity and the attitude–behaviour relationship: effects of anonymity and accountability

Two experiments examined the impact of anonymity and accountability on the expression of group-mediated attitude-behaviour consistency. In Study 1, low and high identifiers (N = 106) were exposed to an attitude-congruent norm and provided information about their intentions under anonymous and in-group accountable conditions. In Study 2, salience of identity was manipulated, and participants (N=185) were exposed to either an attitude-congruent or an attitude-incongruent norm, and provided information on their intentions and behaviour under anonymous and in-group accountable conditions. In both studies, accountability elicited group-normative attitudes and behaviour among individuals for whom the group was not a salient basis for self-definition. When the group was a salient basis for self-definition, the expression of attitude-consistent intentions and behaviour was greater in anonymous conditions. It is suggested that strategic effects, such as those that occur in the presence of an in-group audience, influence displays of group-normative attitude-behaviour consistency.

CTCF-dependent enhancer-blocking by alternative chromatin loop formation

The mechanism underlying enhancer-blocking by insulators is unclear. We explored the activity of human β-globin HS5, the orthologue of the CTCF-dependent chicken HS4 insulator. An extra copy of HS5 placed between the β-globin locus control region (LCR) and downstream genes on a transgene fulfills the classic predictions for an enhancer-blocker. Ectopic HS5 does not perturb the LCR but blocks gene activation by interfering with RNA pol II, activator and coactivator recruitment, and epigenetic modification at the downstream β-globin gene. Underlying these effects, ectopic HS5 disrupts chromatin loop formation between β-globin and the LCR, and instead forms a new loop with endogenous HS5 that topologically isolates the LCR. Both enhancer-blocking and insulator-loop formation depend on an intact CTCF site in ectopic HS5 and are sensitive to knock-down of the CTCF protein by siRNA. Thus, intrinsic looping activity of CTCF sites can nullify LCR function.
Identification of a polymorphism (D168N) in the XRP2 gene in Chinese

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is characterized by constriction of the visual fields, night blindness, and fundus changes, including 'bone corpuscle' lumps of pigment. We analyzed the XRP2 gene of a Taiwanese family with RP. Direct sequencing of all exons and exonintron boundaries revealed a G-to-A transition at nucleotide 502 in exon 2. This nucleotide variation converts an aspartic acid at codon 168 to an asparagine (D168N). To identify whether the D168N is a polymorphism or not, a panel of 50 normal individual male was screened by direct sequencing. After this study, 44 normal persons are G, and six are A. The data indicate that this amino acid change does not affect XRP2 function.
Cable‐Type Supercapacitors of Three‐Dimensional Cotton Thread Based Multi‐Grade Nanostructures for Wearable Energy Storage

A novel cable-type flexible supercapacitor with excellent performance is fabricated using 3D polypyrrole(PPy)-MnO2 -CNT-cotton thread multi-grade nanostructure-based electrodes. The multiple supercapacitors with a high areal capacitance 1.49 F cm(-2) at a scan rate of 1 mV s(-1) connected in series and in parallel can successfully drive a LED segment display. Such an excellent performance is attributed to the cumulative effect of conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes on cotton thread, active mesoporous flower-like MnO2 nanoplates, and PPy conductive wrapping layer improving the conductivity, and acting as pseudocapacitance material simultaneously.
Antigenotoxic Activity of Polyphenolic Rich Extracts from Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa in Human Blood Lymphocytes and E.coli PQ 37

The present paper deals with the antigenotoxic activity of Aegle marmelos fruit extracts employing short term assays i.e. the SOS chromotest using Escherichia coli PQ37 and the Comet assay in peripheral human blood lymphocytes. Methanol extract and Acetone extract were quite effective in decreasing the SOS response induced by hydrogen peroxide and aflatoxin B1 in the SOS chromotest. Methanol extract inhibited the genotoxicity of H 2O2 by 70.48% and that of AFB1 by 84.65%. The extracts showed significant decrease in the tail moment induced by hydrogen peroxide (9 μM) in the Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (SCGE) assay. The antigenotoxic activity exhibited by the extracts may be attributed the various polyphenolic constituents present in these extracts.
A new strategy for harmonic minimization based on triple switching of multilevel converters

In this paper the Imperialistic competition algorithm (ICA) is used to minimize harmonic components of the output voltage up to 75th harmonic in a multilevel inverter structure with unequal DC sources by the means of selected switching angles. As the number of switching angles increase, it becomes more difficult to calculate the optimum switching angles in order to minimize THD, so the ICA method is used to find the global optimum of the search space. In addition, the topology used in this multilevel converter is an optimum topology with maximum number of output voltage steps while the number of switches is constant.
Decoherence and quantum fluctuations

We show that the zero-point fluctuations of the intrinsic electromagnetic environment limit the phasecoherence time in all mesoscopic systems at low temperatures. We derive this quantum-noise-limited dephasing time and its temperature dependence in the crossover to the thermal regime. Our results agree well with most experiments in one-dimensional systems. @S0163-1829~97! 50120-2# The importance of decoherence in the quantum to classical transition is well known. 1 There are many examples where a quantum system undergoes environmentally induced decoherence, such as the electron wave function in a lowdimensional solid, an atom trapped in a quantum optical system, and an isolated quantum system coupled to a measuring apparatus. It has also been suggested that the decoherence which must have occurred between the quantum and classical regimes during the inflationary era of the Universe was
Architecture for multilingual information retrieval using the Dublin Core (ISO 15836) standard

Nowadays, we are in the information society in which it is important to exchange knowledge that supports the research process; on the other hand, it is evident the multilingualism limitations that established in these processes. This fact makes us think and makes us see the need to create mechanisms to include everyone in the global context; in this paper is presented the current status about research on multilingual information retrieval, in addition it is presented a generic architecture for the search for resources that are in different languages.
Détection de la somnolence objective dans la voix (Objective sleepiness detection through voice )

Le suivi des patients souffrant de maladies neuro-psychiatriques chroniques peut être amélioré grâce à la détection de la somnolence dans la voix. Cet article s’inspire des systèmes état-de-l’art en détection de la somnolence dans la voix pour le cas particulier de patients atteints de Somnolence Diurne Excessive (SDE). Pour cela, nous basons notre étude sur un nouveau corpus, le corpus TILE. Il diffère des autres corpora existants par le fait que les sujets enregistrés sont des patients souffrant de SDE et que leur niveau de somnolence est mesuré de manière subjective mais aussi objective. Le système proposé permet détecter la somnolence objective grâce à des paramètres vocaux simples et explicables à des non spécialistes.
Suicide attempts in an adolescent female twin sample.

OBJECTIVE To examine suicide attempts in an epidemiologically and genetically informative youth sample. METHOD 3,416 Missouri female adolescent twins (85% participation rate) were interviewed from 1995 to 2000 with a telephone version of the Child Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism, which includes a detailed suicidal behavior section. Mean age was 15.5 years at assessment. RESULTS At least one suicide attempt was reported by 4.2% of the subjects. First suicide attempts were all made before age 18 (and at a mean age of 13.6). Major depressive disorder, alcohol dependence, childhood physical abuse, social phobia, conduct disorder, and African-American ethnicity were the factors most associated with a suicide attempt history. Suicide attempt liability was familial, with genetic and shared environmental influences together accounting for 35% to 75% of the variance in risk. The twin/cotwin suicide attempt odds ratio was 5.6 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.75-17.8) for monozygotic twins and 4.0 (95% CI 1.1 -14.7) for dizygotic twins after controlling for other psychiatric risk factors. CONCLUSIONS In women, the predisposition to attempt suicide seems usually to manifest itself first during adolescence. The data show that youth suicide attempts are familial and possibly influenced by genetic factors, even when controlling for other psychopathology.
Phantoms for testing radar-based microwave breast imaging

In order to test and improve radar-based microwave imaging systems, realistic breast phantoms have been developed. Eight hemispherical and four realistic breast models were created utilizing tissue-mimicking materials introduced in [1]. Implementing a stepwise procedure and creating various molds allowed phantoms with skin, gland, fat and tumour materials to be constructed and imaged.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx

The rhabdomyosarcoma is a relatively rare tumour form. Two cases in the larynx--a site which is extremely rare--are reported. So far, only 9 cases have been described and documented, and of one of our cases seems to be the first of the alveolar type found at this site. Diagnostic and differential-diagnostic considerations are discussed. Hoarseness is the commonest and earliest symptom. As stated by most authors, the treatment should be radical operation, often with laryngectomy, supplemented by irradiation and chemotherapy.
The seismic cycle in the area of the 2011 Mw9.0 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake

We model seismic and aseismic slip on the Japan megathrust in the area of the Mw9.0, 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake based on daily time series from 400 GPS stations of the GEONET network and campaign measurements of six sea floor displacements. The coseismic and postseismic slip distributions are inverted simultaneously using principal component analysis‐based inversion method (PCAIM). Exploring a wide range of boundary conditions and regularization constraints, we found the coseismic slip distribution to be quite compact with a peak slip between 30 and 50 m near the trench. Our model shows deep afterslip fringing the downdip edge of the coseismic rupture but also a dominant zone of shallow afterslip. Afterslip over the first 279 days following the main shock represents about 40% of the coseismic moment. We compare the coseismic and postseismic models with an interseismic coupling model derived from inland and sea bottom measurements determined in a self‐consistent manner. Assuming that seismic and aseismic slip had to match the long‐term slip rate along the megathrust, the recurrence time of Mw9.0 earthquakes is estimated to 100–300 years, while historical and paleotsunami records suggest a return period more of the order of 1000 years. The discrepancy is smaller if the shallower portion of the megathrust is assumed to produce both aseismic slip, as the afterslip model suggests, and seismic slip during occasional large tsunamigenic earthquakes.
A transient thermotolerant survival response produced by single thermal doses in HeLa cells.

Continuous exposure of HeLa cells in culture to elevated temperatures (41-45 degrees) results in cell killing which increases exponentially as the time at the elevated temperature increases linearly. When cells are returned to 37 degrees after an initial thermal dose, cellular sensitivity to subsequent hyperthermic doses is reduced. Cell inactivation rates for cultures previously treated with 44 degrees for either 0.5 or 1 hr followed by incubation at 37 degrees for 2 hr, showed D0's of 1.1 and 1.5 hr, respectively, for subsequent thermal treatments at 44 degrees. Cultures receiving no prior hyperthermic dose had a D0 of 0.5 hr for treatments at 44 degrees for up to 3.5 hr. The viable progeny of cells treated with 44 degrees for 1 hr, however, had the same sensitivity to thermal doses at 44 degrees as did previously unheated cells. These results and others demonstrate that (a) single thermal dose produce a state of thermotolerance in HeLa cells to subsequent hyperthermic doses; (b) the degree of thermotolerance produced is dependent on the magnitude (i.e., temperature and time at the elevated temperature) of the first thermal dose; (cy thermotolerance does not develop at the elevated temperature but requires a return of culture temperatures to 37 degrees; (d) cellular acquisition of thermal tolerance is dependent on cell metabolism, as demonstrated by an inhibition of the effect at 0 degrees; and (e) this effect is a transient phenomenon which is lost as cells divide following the first thermal dose.
Fusion at the feature level for person verification based on off line handwriting and signature

The off line identification of the handwriting as of signature comes under the field of biometrics. The context of use is in particular in the banking and legal fields. Within this framework problems particularly of imitation and falsification are often met. This paper presents an approach of personal identification based on the fusion of two off line modalities: handwritten signature and handwriting. The method is based especially on exploration of textual characteristics extracted using the wavelets. Identification is ensured by a support vector machines (SVM) classifier. Encouraging overall performances are recorded.
Value-added Knowledge layer for the Context-aware Personalized Services in the Next Generation Networks

This paper proposes the new knowledge layer that can be easily overlaid on the service layer or the control layer of the existing networks to support context-aware personalized service in the next generation networks. Since the traditional communication services have been generally designed for large user groups, they don’t have sufficient capabilities to provide personalized services considering individual situation, intention, and preferences. To overcome the limitation, the proposed knowledge layer collects information from the underlying network and makes them value-added knowledge with knowledge processing technologies. In this paper, we design a network knowledge model to be manipulated on the knowledge layer and service architecture for handling the network knowledge. We also give a couple of examples of providing network knowledge through the knowledge layer for the context-aware personalized services. It is shown that contextaware personalized services can be more efficiently provided through the knowledge layer. We expect that the proposed layer will be an essential component in next generation networks.
Research on primary frequency regulation strategy with frequency division of wind turbines

Rotor speed changes with variation of electrical power witch controlled by converter in doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG), compared to the large thermal power unit DFIG is more suitable for adjusting the power fluctuation of fast varying component. In this paper, a primary regulating strategy of DFIG by distinguishing power fluctuating frequency is presented. DFIG is expected to participate in primary frequency regulation as a substitute for thermal unit in fast varying component of frequency fluctuating. Simulink model of a micro power grid with twenty percent wind power penetration is established to verify the advantages of supposed strategy in the end of paper.
Genre, knowledge and digital code in web-based communities: an integrated theoretical framework for shaping digital discursive spaces

Emerging digital discursive spaces, such as wikis, offer new opportunities for knowledge communication. However, participants join such spaces through the lenses of their established discursive practices. These practices, however, interact with the code – the technological design – of these spaces, which can reproduce, question, or undermine them, and present alternative opportunities and visions for knowledge communication. Participants, therefore, ultimately face questions about the ways in which tensions between established (genred) practices and alternative practices enabled by code are to be negotiated. Drawing on theories of rhetoric and technology, this article offers an integrated theoretical framework that allows developers of online communities to examine the established rhetorical practices of participants and the ways in which the code of the discursive space may question or facilitate these practices. The paper then illustrates how this framework may be applied to facilitating academic knowledge communication in a wiki space and concludes with implications for decision-making in shaping digital discursive spaces for knowledge communication.
Spasticity in children and young people with non-progressive brain disorders: summary of NICE guidance

Spasticity is a form of hypertonia1 and is associated with conditions such as cerebral palsy, which affects 110 000 people in the United Kingdom.2 More than 2000 children born this year in the UK will develop spasticity, which, if unmanaged, will cause pain, affect quality of life, and may lead to complications requiring major surgery. Children and young people with spasticity need early referral to local services that will meet their individual needs and allow them access to the range of interventions that will encourage their motor development. This article summarises the most recent recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) on the management of spasticity in children and young people with non-progressive brain disorders, including those with cerebral palsy.3 NICE recommendations are based on systematic reviews of best available evidence and explicit consideration of cost effectiveness. When minimal evidence is available, recommendations are based on the Guideline Development Group’s experience and opinion of what constitutes good practice. Evidence levels for the recommendations are given in italic in square brackets. ### Principles of care #### Delivering care [ Both points based on the experience and opinion of the Guideline Development Group (GDG) ] #### Management programmes
A photonic microsystem for hydrocarbon gas analysis by mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy

This paper demonstrates the functional integration of a linear variable optical filter (LVOF) and a gas cell at the wafer level, i.e. a gas-filled LVOF, where the resonator cavity of the filter is also used for storing the gas sample. A mm-level effective optical absorption path length is achieved from a μm-level physical path length, by exploiting multiple reflections from highly reflective Bragg mirrors and the high-order operation of the filter. The wideband spectral response of the device is ensured by using a tapered cavity, where the cavity length changes linearly along the length of the filter. Therefore, combined with a detector array and a light source, the gas-filled LVOF enables wideband operation and long absorption path in a single MEMS device, thus ensuring a highly sensitive on-chip gas absorption microspectrometer.
