Large-scale clustering of Lyman α emission intensity from SDSS/BOSS

We present a tentative detection of the large-scale structure of Ly alpha emission in the Universe at redshifts z = 2-3.5 by measuring the cross-correlation of Ly alpha surface brightness with quasars in Sloan Digital Sky Survey/Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. We use amillion spectra targeting luminous red galaxies at z \textless 0.8, after subtracting a best-fitting model galaxy spectrum from each one, as an estimate of the high-redshift Ly alpha surface brightness. The quasar-Ly alpha emission cross-correlation is detected on scales 1 similar to 15 h(-1) Mpc, with shape consistent with a Lambda CDM model with Omega(m) = 0.30(-0.07)(+0.10). The predicted amplitude of this cross-correlation is proportional to the product of the mean Ly alpha surface brightness, \textlessmu(alpha)\textgreater, the amplitude of mass fluctuations and the quasar and Ly alpha emission bias factors. We infer \textlessmu(alpha)\textgreater (b(alpha)/3) = (3.9 +/- 0.9) x 10(-21) erg s(-1) cm(-2) angstrom(-1) arcsec(-2), where b(alpha) is the Ly alpha emission bias. If star-forming galaxies dominate this emission, we find rho(SFR) = (0.28 +/- 0.07)(3/b(alpha)) yr(-1) Mpc(-3). For b(alpha) = 3, this value is similar to 30 times larger than previous estimates from individually detected Ly alpha emitters, but consistent with the total rho(SFR) derived from dust-corrected, continuum UV galaxy surveys, if most of the Ly alpha photons from these galaxies avoid dust absorption and are reemitted after diffusing in large gas haloes. Heating of intergalactic gas by He II photoionization from quasar radiation or jets may alternatively explain the detected correlation, and cooling radiation from gas in galactic haloes may also contribute. We also detect redshift space anisotropy of the quasar-Ly alpha emission cross-correlation, finding evidence at the 3.0 sigma level that it is radially elongated, which may be explained by radiative-transfer effects. Our measurements represent the first application of the intensity mapping technique to optical observations.
Natural Hazard in Human Ecological Perspective: Hypotheses and Models

the capabilities of the system to reflect, absorb, or buffer that lead to the harmful effects, ofttimes dramatic, that characterize our image of natural hazards. But it is also the continuous process of adjustment that enables men to survive and indeed benefit from the natural world. Therefore, the burden of hazard is twofold: a continuing effort to make the human use system less vulnerable to the vagaries of nature, and specific impacts on man and his works arising from natural events that exceed the ad-
SENSORIMOTOR REHABILITATION SYSTEM FOR THE UPPER LIMB WITH VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT, EXOSKELETON ROBOT, AND REAL OBJECTS

The Sensory Motor Training Station (SMTS), designed to provide concurrent sensorimotor hand and arm training and performance measurement features, incorporates virtual reality, an upper limb robot, and interaction with real objects to provide the nervous system with multimodal sensory experience during movement training. One goal of the SMTS design is to provide training to view, reach, and touch real objects even when the patient is unable to move adequately enough to participate in traditional therapies. Current exercises focus upon concurrent movement and multi-sensory training to improve strategies to recognize arm location and object location to improve prehension, a particularly important skill in activities of daily living and for quality of life in persons with impaired sensory and or motor skills. In a recent experiment, eleven control subjects pointed to virtual targets or viewed and touched real objects in active or passive robot movement conditions while viewing the virtual limb proxy. Viewing and touching the real objects improved performance in an arm location task in both active and passive robot conditions.
Investigating the Psychological Effects Associated with Motor Neuron Degeneration in Persons Diagnosed with ALS

Investigation of the psychological effects of a terminal condition, wherein current care plans are primarily focused on physical rehabilitation and pain management, is crucial. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis enacts irreversible damage to the body of those diagnosed, resulting in neurodegenerative processes that cause paralysis and eventually respiratory failure. There is no known cure or cause, which eliminates many traditional treatment avenues. Though the disease wreaks havoc on the muscular systems of the body there are no direct effects that degrade mental processing, leaving the individual experiencing the condition an aware witness to their own functional loss. Creating a multidisciplinary approach inclusion of psychological care of both the person with the condition, as well as their family and caregivers, is integral to appropriately providing support. A community-based approach to caring and supporting those with ALS is integral to a comprehensive plan for addressing this terminal illness.
Speaker Recognition using MFCC and Support Vector Machine

: the purpose of this paper is to develop a speaker recognize system using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Today’s speakers recognize system are developed using various other techniques which results quite efficient. The methods proposed in this paper are producing fine results which should not be went unseen. First we are using MFCC which is used to extract features from the input provided to it where input is in the form of wav file. Secondly, after extraction of features SVM comes in the phase which does the matching of features extracted by MFCC and gives the recognized speaker name. Also it shows the graph of matched users. In this proposed method there are two divisions of system named training and testing. Training part comes under developer where developer train the system with the audio of authorized speakers and on that basis a database is build up. Testing gives the result back by authenticating the authorized user to get the system. In this way this system can be used to develop an authentication and forensic speaker recognition system.

Interregional Comparative Analysis of China's Developmental Disparity

Since the launching of the market reform policies in the late 1970s, China has experienced rapid economic growth. However, the eastern region of China has since developed at a relatively more rapid rate than the rest of the country due to various factors like stronger economic foundation, better geographical location, preferential government policies and well-developed infrastructures. On the contrary, due mainly to historical and geographical factors, the development in western China is much slower. This has led to a huge gap between these two regions which will become even larger if the Chinese government does not take the effort to minimize it. This paper examines and analyzes the phenomenon of interregional disparities in China from various crucial perspectives. It looks at the root causes of the existence of such disparities and examines the State’s policy response in the form of the “Western China Development” strategy in the context of building a “moderately welloff” society. Recognizing that China’s rapid economic growth and expanding
The perception and importance of drum tuning in live performance and music production

Intricate tuning of acoustic drums can have a significant impact on the quality and contextuality of the instrument when played live or in the recording studio. Indeed, many musicians and producers will spend a number of hours achieving a preferred drum sound prior to a performance. Drum tuning, however, is a rather subjective matter, so it is very difficult to define why a particular drum setup might sound good when another does not. A research study has been conducted to assess how performers and producers interpret and value the importance of drum tuning in their specific field or music genre. Waveform and spectral analysis is also used to show that quantitative tuning and acoustic benchmarking is a viable possibility. Conclusions of the research show that advanced musicians do have the ability to tune drums by ear, and do greatly value the differences that can be made. Less advanced musicians are aware of the benefits that can be made by knowledgeable drum tuning, but many do not possess the skills to achieve the desired results. Of the music producers interviewed, the importance of drum tuning was high on their agenda, and there is evidence that any technical methods for standardising or benchmarking particular drum setups would be embraced.
Medical professionalism: teaching and assessment tools

Medical schools and postgraduate training programs around the world have strategies and plans for explicitly incorporating professionalism into their curricula. Licensing and certifying bodies also try to assess medical professionalism on a regular basis. As there is a necessity for the implementation and assessment of intangible skills and as doctors, patients, and students acknowledge the importance and significance of professionalism within their perspectives, it becomes evident that medical schools have professionalism as a component of practice and assessment. In a similar vein, the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University implemented a contemporary curriculum for preclinical medical students to teach professionalism. The results of this study showed an improvement and highlight the importance of the novel curriculum by students and faculty members. In this study, professionalism was taught by a series of methods such as role-playing, panels and discussions (1). Additionally, a study by the New York University School of Medicine found an improvement through implementing a course which taught: information gathering, patient education, rapport building, delivering bad news, and interdisciplinary respect. Statistically significant improvements were found in the domains of communication and professionalism (2). The purpose of this paper is to introduce more common and innovative methods of teaching and assessing professionalism during medical students’ training.
THE RELATION OF MOTHERS’ NUTRITIONAL STATUS TO PRIMARY TEETH DENTAL CARIES

Objective: According to the National Health Survey in 2013, nutritional problems in Indonesia are still a concern, and caries is the most prevalent dental disease. Primary dentition is developed during a motherâ€™s pregnancy period. Thus, mothersâ€™ nutritional status during pregnancy could determine the health of their childrenâ€™s primary dentition. This study objective was to analyze the relationship between mothersâ€™ nutritional status and dental caries in their childrenâ€™s primary teeth.Methods: In total, 281 children under 5-year-old were selected from a health screening in Depok Sub-District, West Java. Information about maternal nutritional status was collected through the mother and childâ€™s health book. Information about dental caries was collected through clinical examinations using the dmft index.Result: The prevalence of mothers with poor nutritional status was 22.8%, and 55.2% of their children had caries. The occurrence of dental caries in primary dentition between children of mothers with poor and good nutritional status was significantly different (p<0.001). The likelihood of getting caries was 1.85 times higher (95% confidence interval: 1.5â€“2.2) among children of mothers with poor nutritional status than among children of mothers with a good nutritional status.Conclusion: Children of mothers with a poor nutritional status would likely present with dental caries and had a higher risk of dental caries compared to children of mothers with a good nutritional status.
Fuzzy Data Association of Aerial Robot Monocular SLAM

This study investigates the issues of visual sensor assisted aerial robot navigation. The major objectives are to provide the aerial robot the capabilities of localization and mapping in global positioning system (GPS) denied environments. When the aerial robot navigates in a GPS-denied environment, the visual sensor could provide the measurement for robot state estimation and environmental mapping. Considering the carrying capacity of the aerial robot, a single camera is used in this study and the image is transmitted to PC-based controller for image processing using a radio frequency module. The extended Kalman filter is used as the state estimator to recursively predict and update the states of the aerial robot and the environment landmarks. The contribution of this study are twofold. First, an efficient data association method is developed to determine the robust landmarks for robot mapping. Second, an ultrasonic sensor is used to provide one-dimensional distance measurement and solve the map scale determination problem of monocular vision. Meanwhile, the image depth is represented by using the inverse depth parameterization method and the image features initialization is achieved by a non-delayed procedure. The software program of the robot navigation system is developed in a PC-based controller. The navigation system integrates the sensor inputs, image processing, and state estimation. The resultant system is used to perform the tasks of simultaneous localization and mapping for aerial robots.
A New Theory for Public Service Management? Toward a (Public) Service-Dominant Approach

This article argues that current public management theory is not fit for purpose—if it ever has been. It argues that it contains two fatal flaws—it focuses on intraorganizational processes at a time when the reality of public services delivery is interorganizational, and it draws upon management theory derived from the experience of the manufacturing sector and which ignores the reality of public services as “services. ” The article subsequently argues for a “public service dominant” approach. This not only more accurately reflects the reality of contemporary public management but also draws upon a body of substantive service-dominant theory that is more relevant to public management than the previous manufacturing focus. We argue that this approach makes an innovative contribution to public management theory in the era of the New Public Governance. The article concludes by exploring the implications of this approach in four domains of public management and by setting a research agenda for a public-service dominant theory for the future.
Small pelagics in upwelling systems: patterns of interaction and structural changes in "wasp-waist" ecosystems

In upwelling ecosystems, there is often a crucial intermediate trophic level, occupied by small, plankton-feeding pelagic fish dominated by one or a few schooling species. Their massive populations may vary radically in size under intensive exploitation. We have used decadal-scale time series to explore patterns of interactions between these fish, their prey, and their predators so as to quantify functional roles of small pelagic fish in those ecosystems. Top-down control of zooplankton is detected off South Africa, Ghana, Japan, and in the Black Sea. Conversely, bottom-up control of predators, such as predatory fish and marine birds, is observed in the Benguela, Guinea, and Humboldt currents. Thus small pelagic fish exert a major control on the trophic dynamics of upwelling ecosystems and constitute midtrophic-level “wasp-waist” populations. Ecosystem effects of fishing are addressed by considering potential structural changes at different scales of observation, ranging from individuals, via school dynamics, to food webs. The overall impact is explored using a trophic model (Ecosim) given different types of food web control. Ecosystem dynamics can be entirely different depending on how the food web is controlled (bottom-up, top-down or wasp-waist). The threat of eroding intra-specific diversity is emphasized because it may lead to a long-term decline in the productivity of the pelagic fish resources. School composition is shown to reflect the relative species abundance within the pelagic community and functions as a “school trap” that could maintain a collapsed population in a depleted state for lengthy periods, and affect spatial dynamics such as migrations. As a result, overfishing can alter the abundance, composition, and distribution in pelagic communities, and may induce drastic changes of state. Predation on zooplankton by the jack mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus murphyi) population in the South Pacific provides an example of the alteration of matter fluxes in trophic webs caused by fishery removals. In conclusion, it is doubtful that pelagic fisheries will continue to increase without major disruptions to ecosystems.
The Process of Plasma Chemical Photoresist Film Ashing from the Surface of Silicon Wafers

At present, the research for finding new technical methods of treating materials with plasma, including the development of energy and resource saving technologies for microelectronic manufacturing, is particularly actual.In order to improve the efficiency of microwave plasma chemical ashing of photoresist films from the surface of silicon wafers a two-stage process of treating was developed. The idea of the developed process is that wafers coated with photoresist are pre-heated by microwave energy. This occurs because the microwave energy initially is not spent on the excitation and maintenance of a microwave discharge but it is absorbed by silicon wafers which have a high tangent of dielectric losses. During the next step after the excitation of the microwave discharge the interaction of oxygen plasma with a pre-heated photoresist films proceeds more intensively. The delay of the start of plasma forming process in the vacuum chamber of a plasmatron with respect to the beginning of microwave energy generation by a magnetron leads to the increase of the total rate of photoresist ashing from the surface of silicon wafers approximately 1.7 times. The advantage of this method of microwave plasma chemical processing of semi-conductor wafers is the possibility of intensifying the process without changing the design of microwave discharge module and without increasing the input microwave power supplied into the discharge.
Non-linear skid steering system for 4×4 UGV using fuzzy logic direct yaw moment control

This paper presents a non-linear control system for skid-steered 4×4. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) with an accurate representation of non-linear tire forces. The vehicle body dynamics is represented by three degrees of freedom (DOF) model namely; forward, lateral and yaw movements. Additionally two DOFs are included to represent the angular rotations of both left and right wheels which are rigidly driven by a separate electric motor for each side. The proposed skid steering system is aimed to control both the driving speed and directional movement of the UGV body in order to follow a desired cornering scenario. Based on direct yaw moment control (DYC) method, a non- linear fuzzy logic controller is designed to regulate both the magnitude and direction of the output torque form each motor in-order to minimize the error between the desired and actual values of both yaw rate and side slip angle of the vehicle body. Several numerical simulations are carried out in MATLAB / Simulink environment to examine the fidelity of the proposed control system. The simulation results show the appropriateness of the proposed skid steering control system for the implementation in UGVs to perform prescribed cornering scenarios.
