A study of violence within a forensic treatment facility.

According to most studies, psychiatrists cannot reliably predict violent behavior. I For those individuals who have been repeatedly violent, however, there are data to suggest that the likelihood of future violent behavior is greatly increased and, therefore, predictable to some degree. 2 The staff of maximum security treatment facilities for mentally disordered offenders (MSTF-MDO) treat patients known to have had previous violent episodes. This means that both staff and patients within the MSTF are at increased risk of being targets of violent episodes. Previous empirical studies, 35 as well as theoretical papers, b emphasize the multi variant nature of these violent acts and stress the importance of studying environmental factors associated with the aggressive behaviors. 7 III
FtsK controls metastable recombination provoked by an extra Ter site in the Escherichia coli chromosome terminus

The FtsK protein is required for septum formation in Escherichia coli and as a DNA translocase for chromosome processing while the septum closes. Its domain of action on the chromosome overlaps the replication terminus region, which lies between replication pause sites TerA and TerC. An extra Ter site, PsrA*, has been inserted at a position common to the FtsK and terminus domains. It is well tolerated, although it compels replication forks travelling clockwise from oriC to stall and await arrival of counter‐clockwise forks. Elevated recombination has been detected at the stalled fork. Analysis of PsrA*‐induced homologous recombination by an excision test revealed unique features. (i) rates of excision near PsrA* may fluctuate widely from clone to clone, a phenomenon we term whimsicality, (ii) excision rates are nevertheless conserved for many generations, a phenomenon we term memorization; their metastability at the clone level is explainable by frequent shifting between three cellular states – high, medium and low probability of excision, (iii) PsrA*‐induced excision is RecBC‐independent and is strongly counteracted by FtsK, which in addition is involved in its whimsicality and (iv) whimsicality disappears as the distance from the pause site increases. Action of FtsK at a replication fork was unexpected because the factor was thought to act on the chromosome only at septation, i.e. after replication is completed. Idiosyncrasy of PsrA*‐induced recombination is discussed with respect to possible intermingling of replication, repair and post‐replication steps of bacterial chromosome processing during the cell cycle.
Effects of HCG and human pituitary LH on steroid secretion and functional life of the human corpus luteum.

ABSTRACT HCG or human pituitary LH was administered to normal women during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Functional activity of the corpora lutea was assessed by measurements of plasma progestogen levels by a competitive protein binding method. Both HCG and LH treatment produced significant elevations in progestogen levels. Levels in treatment cycles were 2–3 times those observed in control cycles. The interval between menses was lengthened 6, 7 and 9 days in the 3 HCG-treated women and 3, 7 and 8 days in the LH-treated women. These data suggest that both LH and HCG are capable of stimulating progesterone synthesis in a normal corpus luteum in vivo.
High‐latitude geomagnetically induced current events observed on very low frequency radio wave receiver systems

Noise burst events observed at Sodankylä, Finland, in the frequency range 20–25 kHz during January–April 2005 last up to 4 s, occur more often at midnight, are associated with high geomagnetic activity, and exhibit a quasi‐constant amplitude perturbation ∼15 dB above the background noise levels. We considered the possibility that the events could be caused by lightning noise breakthrough. The association of the noise burst events with local midnight and high geomagnetic activity argues against a lightning link, as well as the lack of close thunderstorm location relative to Sodankylä during noise periods. While energetic electron precipitation is also associated with high geomagnetic activity, we showed that they occur at different times and exhibit significantly different amplitude characteristics. Finally, we compared in detail the geomagnetic induced current (GIC) in the Scottish power system in southern Scotland, during a storm event that occurred on 15 May 2005, with the noise burst event rate at Sodankylä. We found that the onset time and variability of the Scottish GIC activity was well matched by the variability in the noise burst event rate, particularly the high‐frequency component of the GIC fluctuations. The technique used in our study of observing at a narrow band of frequencies allows GIC measurements to be made in built‐up areas where mains interference is a problem for other experiments, such as magnetometers.
Establishment of Indonesian viseme sequences using hidden Markov model based on affection

Every language has different characteristics, one of which is how to pronounce the language. Pronunciation accompanied by emotional expression are increasingly making different characteristics. This research proposes the establishment of natural Indonesian viseme order influenced by the expression of emotion. This system converts the text input of an Indonesian sentence into a sequence Indonesian viseme to be influenced by the affection. Animation of mouth shape and lip movements are made to complement the visualization of natural speech, which is resulted from the establishment Indonesian viseme model. The method used in the natural Indonesian viseme sequence, is using statistical approach through Viterbi algorithm Hidden Markov Model.
Missed diagnoses of acute cardiac ischemia in the emergency department.

BACKGROUND Discharging patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina from the emergency department because of missed diagnoses can have dire consequences. We studied the incidence of, factors related to, and clinical outcomes of failure to hospitalize patients with acute cardiac ischemia. METHODS We analyzed clinical data from a multicenter, prospective clinical trial of all patients with chest pain or other symptoms suggesting acute cardiac ischemia who presented to the emergency departments of 10 U.S. hospitals. RESULTS Of 10,689 patients, 17 percent ultimately met the criteria for acute cardiac ischemia (8 percent had acute myocardial infarction and 9 percent had unstable angina), 6 percent had stable angina, 21 percent had other cardiac problems, and 55 percent had noncardiac problems. Among the 889 patients with acute myocardial infarction, 19 (2.1 percent) were mistakenly discharged from the emergency department (95 percent confidence interval, 1.1 to 3.1 percent); among the 966 patients with unstable angina, 22 (2.3 percent) were mistakenly discharged (95 percent confidence interval, 1.3 to 3.2 percent). Multivariable analysis showed that patients who presented to the emergency department with acute cardiac ischemia were more likely not to be hospitalized if they were women less than 55 years old (odds ratio for discharge, 6.7; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.4 to 32.5), were nonwhite (odds ratio, 2.2; 1.1 to 4.3), reported shortness of breath as their chief symptom (odds ratio, 2.7; 1.1 to 6.5), or had a normal or nondiagnostic electrocardiogram (odds ratio, 3.3; 1.7 to 6.3). Patients with acute infarction were more likely not to be hospitalized if they were nonwhite (odds ratio for discharge, 4.5; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.8 to 11.8) or had a normal or nondiagnostic electrocardiogram (odds ratio, 7.7; 95 percent confidence interval, 2.9 to 20.2). For the patients with acute infarction, the risk-adjusted mortality ratio for those who were not hospitalized, as compared with those who were, was 1.9 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.7 to 5.2), and for the patients with unstable angina, it was 1.7 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.2 to 17.0). CONCLUSIONS The percentage of patients who present to the emergency department with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina who are not hospitalized is low, but the discharge of such patients is associated with increased mortality. Failure to hospitalize is related to race, sex, and the absence of typical features of cardiac ischemia. Continued efforts to reduce the number of missed diagnoses are warranted.
FuRongWang at SemEval-2017 Task 3: Deep Neural Networks for Selecting Relevant Answers in Community Question Answering

We describes deep neural networks frameworks in this paper to address the community question answering (cQA) ranking task (SemEval-2017 task 3). Convolutional neural networks and bi-directional long-short term memory networks are applied in our methods to extract semantic information from questions and answers (comments). In addition, in order to take the full advantage of question-comment semantic relevance, we deploy interaction layer and augmented features before calculating the similarity. The results show that our methods have the great effectiveness for both subtask A and subtask C.
Notice of RetractionNetwork learning: The effects of trust on entrepreneurs' explorative and exploitative learning

Learning from social network is one important way of entrepreneurs' informal learning. The objective of this study investigates how trust affects entrepreneur's exploitative learning and explorative learning when entrepreneurs learn from social network. Based on a sample of 129 entrepreneurs of small and medium-sized firms from the TaiZhou urban area and economic development zone, results reveal that trust has a significant positive impact entrepreneur's exploitative learning, and a significant negative relationship between trust and explorative learning.
The Positive Influence of State Agricultural Marketing Programs on Adults' Fruit and Vegetable Consumption

Purpose. To assess whether state-sponsored agricultural marketing programs had a positive influence on adult consumers' fruit and vegetable consumption. Design. Differences in fruit and vegetable consumption between 2000 and 2005 in states that initiated marketing campaigns during this period and those that did not were examined. Subjects. A representative sample (n = 237,320) of adults aged 18 and older from states with and without marketing programs was used. The study used data from the 2000 and 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Measures. The number of fruit and vegetable servings per week and the percentage of respondents consuming five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day were examined. Analysis. Between-subjects analysis of variance and logistic regression. Results. In the absence of a marketing campaign, there was a significant decrease in fruit and vegetable consumption between 2000 and 2005. In states with campaigns, consumption remained stable or increased. Marketing effects were stronger for women than for men. Conclusions. State-sponsored agricultural marketing programs had favorable effects on consumers' consumption of fruits and vegetables.
IBS enabled authentication for IoT in ION framework

Nowadays, IoT is becoming a global infrastructure for data and service aggregation in various application scenarios, while smart terminals and low power wide area networks tend to have boosted usage. Identity-based Signature (IBS) is originally proposed for direct authentication via individual entities without a centralized public certification authority. Applying IBS into IoT, especially for IoT terminals with constrained resources, is the main focus of this paper. Meanwhile, the overall proposal is under the framework of ID Oriented Networking (ION), which fully drives the IBS's potential for IoT with an intrinsic security mechanism. Accordingly, this paper presents the detailed implementations, and also shows analysis and future work.
Dual-Band Dual-Sense Circularly Polarized Stacked Patch Antenna With a Small Frequency Ratio for UHF RFID Reader Applications

A single-feed dual-band dual-sense circularly polarized (CP) stacked patch antenna with a small frequency ratio is proposed for Chinese 842.5/922.5-MHz radio frequency identification (RFID) reader applications. Two elliptical-ring patches are configured orthogonally to operate at different frequency bands with different senses of circular polarization. A <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Pi $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-type dual-band complex impedance transformer is modified with asymmetric open-ended stubs to easily tune the input matching for both bands. Measured impedance bandwidth is 2.99% (824–849 MHz) for the lower band and 2.72% (908–933 MHz) for the upper band, in which the input return loss is greater than 10 dB. The measured 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidths for the lower and upper bands are 1.07% (838–847 MHz) and 1.19% (918–929 MHz), respectively. The measured frequency ratio is 1.10. The measured gain is more than 4.5 dBic over both bands. Therefore, the proposed antenna can be a good candidate for Chinese RFID readers operating in the bands of 840–845 MHz and 920–925 MHz.
Effect of environmental factors and fetal and maternal genotype on gestation length and birth weight of Holstein calves.

Records of gestation length and birth weight on 1522 live single births (from 1958 to 1976) of Holstein calves were from 81 sires and 552 dams. Average gestation length was 282.3 days, and average birth weight was 42.9 kg. Male calves were carried 1.7 days longer than female calves and weighed 2.9 kg more at birth. Both gestation length and birth weight increased with parity. Calves born in spring and summer were carried shorter times and weighed less than those born in fall and winter. Heritabilities of gestation length and birth weight as progeny traits were . 73 and . 51 and as maternal traits were . 19 and . 26. Genetic correlations between gestation length and birth weight were . 46 as a progeny trait and . 35 as a maternal trait. Genetic correlations between progeny traits and maternal traits were negative. The phenotypic correlation between gestation length and birth weight was . 37, and environmental correlation was . 30.
Brief announcement: impossibility results for optimistic fair exchange with multiple autonomous arbiters

Fair exchange is one of the most fundamental problems in secure distributed computation. Alice has something that Bob wants, and Bob has something that Alice wants. A fair exchange protocol would guarantee that, even if one of them maliciously deviates from the protocol, either both of them get the desired content, or neither of them do. It is known that no two-party protocol can guarantee fairness in general; therefore the presence of a trusted arbiter is necessary. In optimistic fair exchange, the arbiter only gets involved in case of faults, but needs to be trusted. To reduce the trust put in the arbiter, it is natural to consider employing multiple arbiters. Expensive techniques like byzantine agreement or secure multi-party computation with Ω(n2) communication can be applied to distribute arbiters in a non-autonomous way. Efficient protocols can be achieved by keeping the arbiters autonomous (non-communicating). Avoine and Vaudenay [5] employ multiple autonomous arbiters in their optimistic fair exchange protocol which uses global timeout mechanisms; all arbiters have access to loosely synchronized clocks. They left two open questions regarding the use of distributed autonomous arbiters: (1) Can an optimistic fair exchange protocol without timeouts provide fairness when employing multiple autonomous arbiters? (2) Can any other optimistic fair exchange protocol with timeouts achieve better bounds on the number of honest arbiters required? In this paper, we answer both questions negatively. To answer these questions, we define a general class of optimistic fair exchange protocols with multiple arbiters, called "distributed arbiter fair exchange" (DAFE) protocols. Informally, in a DAFE protocol, if a participant fails to send a correctly formed message, the other party must contact some subset of the arbiters and get correctly formed responses from them. The arbiters do not communicate with each other, but only to Alice and Bob. We prove that no DAFE protocol can meaningfully exist.
Therapeutic adherence to osteoporosis treatment.

OBJECTIVE Adherence of patients to therapy is a major determinant of therapeutic success, which is not included in most clinical studies. This is especially true for chronic diseases with few subjective symptoms, such as osteoporosis. The aim of our study was to describe and to analyze the therapeutic adherence to several widely used anti-osteoporotic medications in real-world medicine in Slovakia. METHODS Using a retrospective approach, data about drug prescriptions for 8,223 patients from 3 consecutive years were analyzed regarding compliance and persistence. Compliance was measured as medication possession ratio-ratio between the supply of the drugs in the treatment time according to the prescriptions and the time of observation. Persistence was assessed as the percentage of patients who used the drug without a gap for the given time period. RESULTS The average compliance was 70%, 59%, and 4% for 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Average persistence was very low with 54%, 42%, and 22% for 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Total average persistence was only 9.8 months. Medications with lower frequency of application tended to be associated with higher adherence. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the therapeutic adherence to anti-osteoporotic treatments varies between the available drugs and drug regimens. In general, the adherence is very low but comparable to previously published studies from other countries. This variability of adherence should be considered in clinical decision making together with the variability of therapeutic efficiency found in clinical studies.
Select forms of tumor cell apoptosis induce dendritic cell maturation

Dendritic cells (DC) play a crucial role in initiating immune responses to tumors. DC can efficiently present antigens from apoptotic tumor cells, but apoptotic cells are thought to lack the inflammatory signals required to induce DC maturation. Here, we show that apoptosis of 67NR mouse carcinoma cells via the Fas (CD95) pathway or induced by the anticancer drug bortezomib (PS‐341) but not by ultraviolet irradiation is associated with the production of maturation signals for DC. These data have important implications for the effects of chemotherapy on antitumor immunity in solid and hematologic malignancies.
A method of resonant frequency optimized selection for a SP inductive coupled power transfer system

Inductive coupled power transfer (ICPT) is an emerging technology that may create new applications for wireless power charging. However, low efficiency is one of the main obstructing factors for promoting this technology. In this paper, a method of resonant frequency optimization based on resonant current calculation at the secondary side of the system is proposed to achieve higher efficiency. In order to research the influences of resonant frequency on system efficiency, the resonant current of the secondary side circuit is calculated, from which the phase shift angle between resonant current and voltage, and the conduction angle of diodes of rectifier can be obtained. Furthermore, a set of simulations are performed to find the optimized resonant frequency relationship between output power and the resonant current amplitude, because the copper loss and core loss of a loosely coupled transformer are all positively associated with resonant current. Finally, a 1.6 kW ICPT system is built and tested to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results prove that the optimized resonant frequency can achieve a system efficiency of 92.5%, when that of a conventional system with a resonant frequency equal to the working frequency is 92%.
Precocious Puberty Secondary to an Ovarian Cyst : A Case Report

Introduction : The functional ovarian cyst remains a rare disease in the prepubertal population; it is however a leading cause of precocious pseudo-puberty. Precocious puberty results in significant changes marked by growth acceleration and premature closure of growth plates. We report in this article the case of a precocious pseudopuberty secondary to a functional ovarian cyst. Case presentation : A six and a half years old patient, consulted for a recent appearance of early breast development. Hormonal analysis revealed a distal hormonal secretion with suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Pelvic ultrasound revealed the presence of a large right ovarian cyst, confirmed by pelvic MRI. The management of this patient consisted in a simple monitoring. After two months, a complete regression of the symptoms was noted as well as a complete disappearance of the ovarian cyst on ultrasound, and an elimination of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis suppression on hormonal analysis. Conclusion : Ovarian cysts are mostly self-limited and require no treatment with spontaneous regression. In rare cases surgery is necessary; it is important to consider a conservative intervention of ovarian tissue without affecting fertility. Ovarian cysts are rare in the pediatric population and with good prognosis in their majority; they require however the attention of the pediatrician, given the possible risk of malignancy.
Low-income groups and behaviour change interventions: a review of intervention content, effectiveness and theoretical frameworks

Background: Interventions to change health-related behaviours have potential to increase health inequalities. Methods: This review investigated the effectiveness of interventions targeting low-income groups to reduce smoking or increase physical activity and/or healthy eating. Of 9766 papers identified by the search strategy, 13 met the inclusion criteria. Intervention content was coded into component technique and theoretical basis, and examined as a potential source of effect heterogeneity. Results: Interventions were heterogeneous, comprising 4–19 techniques. Nine interventions had positive effects, seven resulted in no change and one had an adverse effect. Effective interventions had a tendency to have fewer techniques than ineffective interventions, with no evidence for any technique being generally effective or ineffective. Only six studies cited theory relative to intervention development, with little information about how theory was used and no obvious association with intervention content or effect. Conclusion: This review shows that behaviour change interventions, particularly those with fewer techniques, can be effective in low-income groups, but highlights the lack of evidence to draw on in informing the design of interventions for disadvantaged groups.
