Using sentiment analysis technique for analyzing Thai customer satisfaction from social media

With the rapidly increasing number of Thai online customer reviews available in social media and websites, sentiment analysis technique, also called opinion mining, has become an important task in the past few years.This technique aims to analyze people’s emotions, opinion, attitudes and sentiments.The classical approaches for opinion mining represents the reviews as bag-of-words as many words can be used to identify positive or negative feedbacks.This makes these methods work well with European language reviews which are segmented texts.However, these bag-of-word based methods face problem with Thai customer’s review which is non-segmented text, since Thai texts are formed as a long sequence of characters without word boundaries.Up to now, not much research conducted on sentiment analysis for Thai customer reviews.This paper proposes a sentiment analysis technique for Thai customer’s reviews.The proposed technique is based on the integration of Thai word extraction and sentiment analysis techniques for mining Thai customer’s opinion. To demonstrate the proposed technique, experimental studies on analyzing Thai customer’s reviews from social media are presented in this paper.The results show that the proposed method provides significant benefits for mining Thai customer’s opinion from social media.
Effect of chorioamnionitis on the levels of serum proteins in the cord blood of premature infants.

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationships among complements, other serum proteins (including acute-phase reactant), and the cytokine interleukin-6. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING A perinatal center, children's hospital, and research institute in Osaka, Japan. PATIENTS Two hundred fifteen newborn infants ranging from 17 to 42 weeks in gestational age. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We measured the serum levels of several proteins and complements in the cord blood of neonates with and without chorioamnionitis by immunological assays. RESULTS The levels of C3d, haptoglobin, interleukin-6, IgM, C-reactive protein, and IgA were not influenced by gestational age, and levels of C5, C1q, C2, albumin, C9, and IgG were not influenced by chorioamnionitis status. The levels of C3, C4, CH50, factor B, and orosomucoid were influenced by both factors. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation of the mutual relation of the data suggests that the increase of cytokine interleukin-6 affects each other component. We suggest that, compared with the serum levels of proteins in neonates with chorioamnionitis, levels in neonates without chorioamnionitis are more similar to those in the normal fetus.
Influence of diuretic-induced dehydration on competitive sprint and power performance.

UNLABELLED Diuretic-induced dehydration impairs prolonged running performance (> 1500 m). Sprinting performance may suffer by similar mechanisms (i.e., altered cardiovascular strain, heat storage, and metabolism) or may improve because of reduced mass to accelerate and carry. PURPOSE To examine sprint and power performance after diuretic-induced dehydration. METHODS After six sprint practice sessions, nine male former sprinters (mean +/- SD; age, 21 +/- 2 yr; body mass (BM), 80.0 +/- 5.2 kg; height, 1.78 +/- 0.08 m; body fat, 14 +/- 4%) participated in a 50-m race, a 200-m race, a 400-m race, and a vertical jump on an indoor synthetic track, once when dehydrated (40-mg furosemide; DD) and once with no diuretic (CON) using a counter-balanced crossover design. Plasma volume change (%deltaPV), heart rate (HR), blood pressure, rectal temperature, serum electrolytes, plasma lactate, plasma glucose, rating of perceived exertion, thirst, and thermal sensations were measured before and after each race. RESULTS Sprint times (DD vs CON) for the 50 m (6.72 +/- 0.28 vs 6.73 +/- 0.29 s), 200 m (25.95 +/- 1.20 vs 26.21 +/- 1.42 s), and 400 m (59.01 +/- 4.26 vs 58.68 +/- 3.68 s) were similar for both conditions, as was vertical jump height (0.67 +/- 0.10 vs 0.66 +/- 0.11 m). This occurred despite losing 2.2 +/- 0.4% BM and 7.3 +/- 6.7%deltaPV (50/200 m) or 2.5 +/- 0.4% BM and 7.1 +/- 2.7% deltaPV (VJ/400 m) in response to DD. CONCLUSIONS Diuretic-induced dehydration was not detrimental to sprint and power performance. Metabolic, thermoregulatory, and cardiovascular variables were not significantly altered by DD. Furthermore, the theoretical benefit of dehydration on performance (i.e., BM reduction) was not supported in this subject cohort.
Edge‐preserving tomographic reconstruction from gaussian data using a gibbs prior and a generalized expectation‐maximization algorithm

The problem of edge‐preserving tomographic reconstruction from Gaussian data is considered. The problem is formulated within a Bayesian framework, where the image is modeled as a pair of Markov Random Fields: a continuous‐valued intensity process and a binary line process. The a priori information considered here enforces constraints both on the local regularity of the image and on the line configurations. The solution, defined as the maximizer of the posterior probability, is obtained using a Generalized Expectation‐Maximization (GEM) algorithm, in which both the intensity and the line processes are iteratively updated. The simulation results show that introducing suitable priors on the line configurations improves the quality of the reconstructed images, and is particularly useful when the data record is small. The relationships with other approaches for managing discontinuities are outlined. A comparison between the GEM algorithm and an algorithm based on mixed‐annealing is made on the basis of computer simulations. ©1994 John Wiley & Sons Inc
Titin stiffness in heart disease.

To the Editor: Hein et al1 provided an interesting perspective on two articles2,3 dealing with the role of titin for myocardial diastolic function. The new concept emerging from these studies is that titin not only contributes significantly to diastolic wall stiffness,4 but together with collagen, can be modified in response to chronic heart disease. Titin-based stiffness is tuned by changing the expression ratio of a longer, more compliant N2BA-titin isoform, relative to a shorter, stiffer N2B-titin isoform. In discussing the paper on human heart,2 Hein et al1 cautioned that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) represent an extremely variable cohort and that the titin modifications found—from an average N2BA:N2B ratio of 30:70 in normal left ventricles to 47:53 in severely diseased CAD-explant hearts—may not allow definitive conclusions. However, the variability in titin-isoform ratio …
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Purpose of review Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become a more or less accepted standard in the algorithm of advanced acute respiratory distress syndrome therapy in adult patients when all other treatment options have failed. This article reviews the current status of ECMO therapy with particular focus on new technical developments and their potential implications for performance and indications for ECMO therapy. Recent findings A recently published review on a single-center experience in 255 adult ECMO patients identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis age, sex, initial pH 7.10 or lower and PaO2/FiO2 ratio, and days of mechanical ventilation before ECMO as a significant predictors of survival. Additionally, a careful cost-effectiveness study for neonatal ECMO relating a 4-year base to the UK neonatal ECMO trial has clearly demonstrated cost-effectiveness. Summary Over the years, the technique for ECMO therapy underwent substantial changes in indications and the materials used. Impressive technical progress has been made in pumps, oxygenators, and coating of artificial surfaces, leading to a higher biocompatibility and to a lower rate of procedure-related complications. The potential of new inline pumps in combination with a decreasing rate of procedure-related complications might lead to a re-evaluation of the role of extracorporeal lung support in acute respiratory distress syndrome therapy. A very recent development is the use of spontaneous arteriovenous devices for carbon dioxide removal, allowing significant reduction of ventilator settings at decreased carbon dioxide partial pressures and at increased pH values. Ongoing studies are looking at the potential of this approach to reduce side effects of mechanical ventilation further.
Towards a Wikipedia-extracted alpine corpus

This paper describes a method for extracting parallel sentences from comparable texts. We present the main challenges in creating a German-French corpus for the Alpine domain. We demonstrate that it is difficult to use the Wikipedia categorization for the extraction of domain-specific articles from Wikipedia, therefore we introduce an alternative information retrieval approach. Sentence alignment algorithms were used to identify semantically equivalent sentences across the Wikipedia articles. Using this approach, we create a corpus of sentence-aligned Alpine texts, which is evaluated both manually and automatically. Results show that even a small collection of extracted texts (approximately 10000 sentence pairs) can partially improve the performance of a state-of-the-art statistical machine translation system. Thus, the approach is worth pursuing on a larger scale, as well as for other language pairs and domains.
concept LAWYER with the metaphorical category SHARK * , and all the properties of SHARK

According to the ‘career of metaphor’ hypothesis (Bowdle & Gentner, 2005) metaphor interpretation shifts from a comparison process to a categorization process when the metaphor vehicle becomes conventional, and little importance is given to the conventionality of the topicvehicle pairing (i.e., metaphor familiarity). In this study, we used a form-preference paradigm to investigate whether highly familiar and conventional metaphors are preferred in the categorization form. We manipulated conventionality and familiarity and we controlled for aptness. Results did not show clear effects of conventionality or familiarity while they confirmed previous findings that aptness is an important predictor of form preference. An additional post-hoc analysis on the role of dominance (i.e., relative frequency) of metaphorical versus literal uses of the vehicle in the form-preference task suggests that this factor plays a key role on this task.
Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Candidate Genes for Control of Plant Height, Branch Initiation Height and Branch Number in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Plant architecture is crucial for rapeseed yield and is determined by plant height (PH), branch initiation height (BIH), branch number (BN) and leaf and inflorescence morphology. In this study, we measured three major factors (PH, BIH, and BN) in a panel of 333 rapeseed accessions across 4 years. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed via Q + K model and the panel was genotyped using the 60 k Brassica Infinium SNP array. We identified seven loci for PH, four for BIH, and five for BN. Subsequently, by determining linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay associated with 38 significant SNPs, we gained 31, 15, and 17 candidate genes for these traits, respectively. We also showed that PH is significantly correlated with BIH, while no other correlation was revealed. Notably, a GA signaling gene (BnRGA) and a flowering gene (BnFT) located on chromosome A02 were identified as the most likely candidate genes associated with PH regulation. Furthermore, a meristem initiation gene (BnLOF2) and a NAC domain transcriptional factor (BnCUC3) that may be associated with BN were identified on the chromosome A07. This study reveals novel insight into the genetic control of plant architecture and may facilitate marker-based breeding for rapeseed.
Contribution of Pneumococcal Cell Wall to Experimental Otitis Media Pathogenesis

Recent evidence suggests that bacteria and sub­ cellular bacterial components may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic otitis media with effusion ( O M E ) . ' ' Liu et al ' found that 75% of effusions from children with chronic OME contained bac­ teria, usually gram-positive cocci in Gram's stained smears. However, only 52% of the effusions yielded bacteria on culture; hence, killed bacteria may be retained in the middle ear space. Endotoxin and pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides have been detected in many sterile middle ear effusions (MEEs) from children with chronic O M E . " ' Since Hemoph­ ilus influenzae, an endotoxin-containing gram-neg­ ative microorganism, and Streptococcus pneumo­ niae are principal causes of acute otitis media, the presence of subcellular components of these organ­ isms in fluid from chronic O M E patients suggests that these products may contribute to the patholog­ ical transition from acute to chronic O M E .
Informed Consent Revisited: Japan and the U.S.

Informed consent, decision-making styles and the role of patient–physician relationships are imperative aspects of clinical medicine worldwide. We present the case of a 74-year-old woman afflicted with advanced liver cancer whose attending physician, per request of the family, did not inform her of her true diagnosis. In our analysis, we explore the differences in informed-consent styles between patients who hold an “independent” and “interdependent” construal of the self and then highlight the possible implications maintained by this position in the context of international clinical ethics. Finally, we discuss the need to reassess informed-consent styles suitable to the needs of each patient regardless of whether he or she resides in the United States or in Japan.
Performance enhancement of gate-all-around InGaAs nanowire MOSFETs by raised source and drain structure

InGaAs gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFETs with implanted source and drain (S/D) structure have been demonstrated which offer large drive currents and excellent immunity to short channel effects down to deep sub-100 nm channel length [1-2]. In this work, we fabricate n<sup>++</sup> raised S/D InGaAs GAA MOSFETs with 10nm or 20nm thick nanowires and 200nm channel length. Maximum I<sub>on</sub> over 1 mA/μm at V<sub>gs</sub>-V<sub>t</sub>=1V and V<sub>ds</sub>=1V is obtained, which is attributed to small S/D series resistance (R<sub>sd</sub>). The R<sub>sd</sub> of small dimension devices is systematically studied. We find that R<sub>sd</sub> is significantly reduced with the n<sup>++</sup> S/D structure compare to the implanted structure [1]. At the same time, we find that R<sub>sd</sub> is inverse proportional to the perimeter of the nanowire on 20nm thick nanowire devices while R<sub>sd</sub> is inverse proportional to the cross section area of the nanowire on 10nm thick nanowire devices. The significant difference confirms that the 10nm thick nanowire works in volume inversion mode while the 20nm nanowire or larger dimension still works in surface inversion mode.
Multi-tissue analysis of oxygen isotopes in wild rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).

Oxygen isotopes in animal tissues are directly related to body water composition and thus the environment. Accurate measurement of animal tissue δ(18)O provides information about local climate, an animal's geographical origin and subsequent movements, with wide applications in palaeobiology and forensic science. The genesis and evolution of tissue-based oxygen isotopes within species and within individuals are complex. We present the first data, for non-human primates, rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), on the relationship between oxygen isotope sources in bio-apatite (PO(4) and PCO(3)) and hair taken from six sample sites in Asia, ranging from western India to northern Vietnam. The range of values is similar within each tissue type, with good correlation between tissues (r = 0.791 to 0.908), allowing cross-tissue extrapolations. This is important when the availability of suitable tissues is limited. Biological interpretation of the small data set is difficult: macaque diets are eclectic, and the samples are from various locations. However, factors such as overall climate, precipitation quantity and source, and altitude are clearly influencing the results for each discrete geographical grouping. Future work could be aimed at assessing δ(18)O tissue associations for other species as the relationships appear to be species-specific.
US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules: adequacy of cytologic material and procedure time with and without immediate cytologic analysis.

PURPOSE To compare the adequacy of aspirated material and procedure time when performing ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules with and without immediate cytologic analysis of the aspirated sample. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-one thyroid nodules were sampled for biopsy in 109 patients. In group A, results of 50 biopsies in which immediate cytologic analysis was performed were retrospectively reviewed for cytologic adequacy. In group B, 50 biopsies were performed without immediate cytologic analysis, and the procedure time was recorded. In group C, 21 biopsies were performed with immediate cytologic analysis, and the procedure time was recorded. Cytologic adequacy rates were compared by using the proportional odds model, and procedure times were compared by using linear regression to adjust for differences in the character of the nodules. RESULTS For groups A and C (immediate cytologic analysis performed), the adequacy categories included the following results: 39 (55%) satisfactory, 15 (21%) limited, and 17 (24%) unsatisfactory. For group B (immediate cytologic analysis not performed), the adequacy categories included the following results: 25 (50%) satisfactory, 15 (30%) limited, and 10 (20%) unsatisfactory (Wald test, P =.815). The average procedure time was 12.5 minutes for group B and 44.4 minutes for group C (P <.001). CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in cytologic adequacy whether immediate cytologic analysis of aspirated material was performed or not. The procedure time was significantly shorter when immediate cytologic analysis was not performed.
The Longitudinal Association Between Competitive Video Game Play and Aggression Among Adolescents and Young Adults.

The longitudinal association between competitive video game play and aggression among young adults and adolescents was examined. Young adults (N = 1,132; Mage = 19 years) were surveyed annually over 4 years about their video game play and aggression, and data from a 4-year longitudinal study of adolescents (N = 1,492; Mage = 13 years) was reanalyzed. The results demonstrated a longitudinal association between competitive video game play and aggressive behavior among both age groups. In addition, competitive video game play predicted higher levels of aggressive affect over time, which, in turn, predicted higher levels of aggressive behavior over time, suggesting that aggressive affect was a mechanism of this link. These findings highlight the importance of investigating competitive elements of video game play that may predict aggression over time.
Somatostatin and Its Receptor Family

Somatostatin (SST), a regulatory peptide, is produced by neuroendocrine, inflammatory, and immune cells in response to ions, nutrients, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, thyroid and steroid hormones, growth factors, and cytokines. The peptide is released in large amounts from storage pools of secretory cells, or in small amounts from activated immune and inflammatory cells, and acts as an endogenous inhibitory regulator of the secretory and proliferative responses of target cells that are widely distributed in the brain and periphery. These actions are mediated by a family of seven transmembrane (TM) domain G-protein-coupled receptors that comprise five distinct subtypes (termed SSTR1-5) that are endoded by separate genes segregated on different chromosomes. The five receptor subtypes bind the natural SST peptides, SST-14 and SST-28, with low nanomolar affinity. Short synthetic octapeptide and hexapeptide analogs bind well to only three of the subtypes, 2, 3, and 5. Selective nonpeptide agonists with nanomolar affinity have been developed for four of the subtypes (SSTR1, 2, 3, and 4) and putative peptide antagonists for SSTR2 and SSTR5 have been identified. The ligand binding domain for SST ligands is made up of residues in TMs III-VII with a potential contribution by the second extracellular loop. SSTRs are widely expressed in many tissues, frequently as multiple subtypes that coexist in the same cell. The five receptors share common signaling pathways such as the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, activation of phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP), and modulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) through G-protein-dependent mechanisms. Some of the subtypes are also coupled to inward rectifying K(+) channels (SSTR2, 3, 4, 5), to voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (SSTR1, 2), a Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (SSTR1), AMPA/kainate glutamate channels (SSTR1, 2), phospholipase C (SSTR2, 5), and phospholipase A(2) (SSTR4). SSTRs block cell secretion by inhibiting intracellular cAMP and Ca(2+) and by a receptor-linked distal effect on exocytosis. Four of the receptors (SSTR1, 2, 4, and 5) induce cell cycle arrest via PTP-dependent modulation of MAPK, associated with induction of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein and p21. In contrast, SSTR3 uniquely triggers PTP-dependent apoptosis accompanied by activation of p53 and the pro-apoptotic protein Bax. SSTR1, 2, 3, and 5 display acute desensitization of adenylyl cyclase coupling. Four of the subtypes (SSTR2, 3, 4, and 5) undergo rapid agonist-dependent endocytosis. SSTR1 fails to be internalized but is instead upregulated at the membrane in response to continued agonist exposure. Among the wide spectrum of SST effects, several biological responses have been identified that display absolute or relative subtype selectivity. These include GH secretion (SSTR2 and 5), insulin secretion (SSTR5), glucagon secretion (SSTR2), and immune responses (SSTR2).
Development of utility interactive inverters for controlling renewable energy penetration into grid

Micro grid consists of a cluster of distributed energy resources (DER) connected at the point of common coupling. Amount of renewable energy penetrated into the grid must be monitored and controlled for the stable and reliable operation of the grid. An efficient communication system interacts between DERS's and the utility substation is required to perform the task. DER inverters are capable of providing real and reactive power support according to the grid requirement. This paper discusses about an efficient control to economically allocate the available DER based on cost analysis. A supervisory price controller (SPC) and a Distributed Energy Resource Controller (DERC) provides the initiation signal to bidirectional voltage source inverter of the selected resource which is then responsible to provide real power support to the AC and DC loads connected to it. Apart from this service, the inverter using the control algorithm also provides reactive power compensation, current harmonics mitigation and load balancing so that the supply currents are always sinusoidal and at unity power factor. Instantaneous Symmetrical Component Theory (ISCT) is used to provide the inverter all these functionalities. The centralized operation of micro grid under varying energy price is demonstrated. A MATLAB/SIMULINK model has been developed and simulation results shows the effectiveness to provide active power and ancillary services according to changing prices due to the coordination between the participating micro resources.
