Rizzo, A.E. , Steiner, T.M. & Amaral, A.C. Z. Glyceridae Grube 1850 (Annelida: Polychaeta) from Southern and Southeastern Brazil, including a new species of Glycera. Biota Neotrop. Sep/Dez 2007 vol. 7, no. 3 http:// www.biotaneotropica. org.br/v7n3/pt/abstract? article+bn00407032007. ISSN 1676-0603. This systematic study of the polychaete species of the family Glyceridae is part of a broader program to inventory and determine parameters for conservation and sustainable use of the marine biodiversity off the southeastern and southern coast of Brazil. The material studied was collected from intertidal sandy beaches, the inner continental shelf (<50 m depth) off the northern coast of the state of Sao Paulo, and the outer continental shelf and part of the continental slope (depths from 60 to 808 m) off the state of Rio de Janeiro south to Rio Grande do Sul (22° S - 34° 40’ S). The descriptions of several species were improved, adding new and important taxonomic characters, mainly related to proboscideal papillae. A key for identifi cation of the glycerid species from southeastern and southern Brazil is also provided. Eight species of Glyceridae were identifi ed: Glycera americana Leidy 1855; Glycera brevicirris Grube 1870; Glycera dibranchiata Ehlers 1868; Glycera lapidum Quatrefages 1866; Glycera oxycephala Ehlers 1887; Glycera tesselata Grube 1863; Hemipodia californiensis (Hartman 1938); Hemipodia simplex (Grube 1857); and a previously unknown species of Glycera.

Contribuição Internacional Prevention and treatment of ischemia and fibrosis associated in hypertensive heart disease

Elevated arterial pressure is a well-established predisposing factor for the development of stroke, hypertensive heart and peripheral artery disease, as well as for cardiac and renal failure. Hypertension-induced alterations in cardiac structure and function manifested as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) associated with impaired coronary hemodynamics and ventricular fibrosis accounting for this major risk factor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality 14 . Indeed, cardiac enlargement (or LVH) carries a greater risk than either height of systolic or diastolic pressure 1,4 . Furthermore, a large body of evidence attests to the fact that LVH is a strong independent risk factor for heart failure, sudden death, ventricular dysrhythmias, and coronary artery disease 5-10 . LVH usually begins as compensated hypertrophy, but it eventually progresses to cardiac failure if arterial pressure remains uncontrolled 8 . However, the mechanisms underlying the increased risk associated with LVH have not completely elucidated, although it is likely that a number of factors may contribute. Since all components of the heart seem to affected with LVH (e.g., muscle, vasculature and interstitium), impaired coronary hemodynamics, ventricular fibrosis and dysfunction, increased vulnerability to lethal dysrhythmias, and enhanced coronary atherogenesis might account for the risk 1,3,11-14 . Several metaanalysis have shown that antihypertensive therapy has greater propensity to reduce stroke death than death from coronary heart disease 15,16 , suggesting that arterial pressure may exert a greater effect on the cerebral circulation than the coronary. Moreover, this concept points to role of nonhemodynamic factors that participate in the development of hypertension related cardiovascular injury and, therefore, in this risk 17 . Thus, current goals of antihypertensive therapy are to prevent or reverse these additional alterations along with optimal control of arterial pressure. This review focuses primarily on the strategy for pharmacological prevention and reversal of myocardial ischemia and ventricular fibrosis which are also associated with hypertensive heart disease.
Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) habitat characteristics in North-Boreal Finland.

This study aimed to identify tools for taking capercaillie habitats into consideration in forest management. This would provide new alternatives for ecologically more sustainable forest management. Capercaillie summer and winter locations, from wildlife monitoring counts (1998–2004) in northern Finland, and reference, non-capercaillie locations were combined with forest planning data, and the area proportions of different landscape classes in an 800-m radius circle surrounding capercaillie and reference locations were compared. Thinning stands (in summer and winter) and spruce mires (in summer) were more abundant in capercaillie habitats than in reference landscapes, whereas e.g. seedling stands, mature stands and waste land areas were less abundant. The relative habitat use was highest in mean tree diameter (DBH) classes from 10.5 to 14.5 cm in summer habitats of adult capercaillie in heath forests, whereas in peatland forests, in brood habitats and in winter habitats it peaked in diameter classes 14.5 to 18.5 cm. The tree layer density was positively associated with the relative habitat use. A trend of lower habitat use was detected in the largest diameters (17–40 cm) in comparison to middle-sized diameters (10–16 cm) in heath forests, but not in peatland forests. Relatively young managed forests (age 30–40 years or more) can form suitable capercaillie habitats in north-boreal forests. However, this suitability is not necessarily permanent. Understorey management, longer rotations and multicohort forest management are suitable tools for capercaillie habitat management, because they can increase the available cover close to the ground, canopy cover, overall forest cover at the landscape scale and bilberry cover.
For Lecturer Perspectives On Learning Management Systems At Universities In The Western Cape , South Africa

This paper investigated the adoption of Course and Learning Management Systems (C/LMS) by lecturers at the four residential universities of South Africa’s Western Cape province. To explain the differences in use patterns, a dedicated analysis framework, ActAD, grounded in activity theory was used. Lecturer interviews pointed to important differences in views – and consequent use patterns – of E-Learning and C/LMS. The key considerations were found to be differences in perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, accessibility and functional expectations. This research not only shows how activity theory, and ActAD in particular, can be useful in understanding individual perspectives on and use of C/LMS, but also provides some useful comparative data to researchers in technologybased education.
Specificity of inducible seaweed anti-herbivory defences depends on identity of macroalgae and herbivores

Meso-herbivores can strongly affect biomass accrual and macrophytobenthic commu- nity structure. To counter grazing effects, constitutive and induced anti-herbivory responses evolved in seaweeds. Feeding-assayed induction experiments were conducted in the laboratory to investigate whether 14 d grazing periods by either the periwinkle Littorina brevicula or the abalone Haliotis dis- cus induced anti-herbivory defences in the green alga Ulva pertusa and the brown alga Laminaria japonica. Where appropriate, assays were repeated with artificial food containing lipophilic algal extracts, using dichloromethane (DCM) as a solvent, to test whether or not snails induced chemical defences. While exposure to periwinkles reduced palatability of fresh L. japonica pieces for naive conspecific grazers, no such effect was displayed by abalone-exposed L. japonica pieces. Patterns of grazer specificity in the palatability of fresh algae were not confirmed when using artificial food con- taining algal DCM extracts. This suggests that L. japonica either induced morphological defences or periwinkle-deterrent substances originated from the non-lipophilic fraction of defensive chemicals. Grazer-specific induced responses were not apparent in U. pertusa assays. This study revealed that the induction of chemical anti-herbivory responses depends not only on the type of grazer but also on the type of alga on which the grazer feeds.
Correlation Coefficient Based Feature Selection Framework Using Graph Construction

In machine learning, selecting the best features for classification is a critical issue. It is a necessary task to reduce the number of attributes/features existed in the initial feature space for achieving the outstanding classification accuracy, to minimize the computing power, and to reduce the memory size. In this present research, a novel methodology is proposed based on the concept of Symmetrical Uncertainty (SU) and Correlation Coefficient (CCE) by constructing the graph to select the reduced feature set. The recommended features by the proposed methodology are clubbed into finite number of groups (clusters) by measuring their CCE and considering the highest SU score of the feature. From each group, a feature which has maximum SU value is picked up and rest of the features in the same group are ignored. The proposed structure was inspected with ten (10) real world data sets available in the public domain. Experimental outcomes guarantees that the proposed method is recorded the better performance than most of the traditional filter based feature selection methods. The proposed method performed better than traditional methods such as Information Gain and Chi-Square on 70 % of the data sets. It is also produced better result than traditional Gain ration method on 80 % of the data sets and competing with traditional ReliefF approach on 50 % of the data sets. This methodology is assessed using Lazy, Tree Based, Naive Bayes, and Rule Based learners. Received: 13/09/2017 Accepted: 16/04/2018
New targets and developments in lipoproteins control

Statins provide a very effective approach in reducing plasma cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk. However, the proportion of patients who fail to achieve desirable plasma lipid levels ranges from 16%-53%, worldwide. This percentage reaches up to 80% in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. Additionally, many patients are unable to tolerate statins, particularly at the highest approved dose level. New treatments that aggressively reduce lipid levels in patients with severe hypercholesterolemia, or those unable to reach their lipid targets, are therefore required. The most promising approaches in this context, such as inhibitors of the synthesis of apolipoprotein B (apoB) containing lipoproteins (apoB silencing or microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibition) or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) blockers, all decrease low-density lipoprotein (LDL) extensively. Increasing low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol via cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors or apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) inducers and improving their quality with HDL or ApoA-1 mimetics represent also important options. Drugs affecting HDL, however, may not be all alike and require adequate scrutiny of the mechanisms involved. Until we have a better understanding of these issues, further LDL lowering in high-risk patients represents the soundest approach.
An Analysis of the Spellings of Young Children with Varying Levels of Phonemic Awareness.

ABSTRACT To examine the effects of phonemic awareness (drfined as "conscious access to the phonemic level of the speech stream and some ability to cognitively manipulate representations at this level") on spelling development and to explore the relationship of phonemic awareness to recognized stages of spelling development, a study collected data on 96 first-grade students and 87 third-grade students attending public school in 3outheast Texas. Children in both grades received traditional reading instruction from basal reading series reflecting a whole-word approach to initial reading instruction. All children in the study spelled the same set of 40 words. Phonemic awareness was measured using tne GKR Test of Phonemic Awar5ness, an oral test consisting of six subtests--phonemic segmentation, blending, deletion of first phoneme, deletion of last phoneme, substitution of first phcieme, and substitution of last phoneme. Word specific information was measured using a test containing 60 two-alternative, forced-choice items. One alternative was a correct spelling for the word. The other was a phonetically legitimate though incorrect spelling. Children were instructed to circle the correct spelling for each word as it was pronounced by the researcher. Findings suggested that in first-graders, phonemic awareness had a more powerful effect, indicating that spelling at this level is more of a sequential, encoding process. By third grade, word-specific informatlon exerted stronger influence on spelling, suggesting that children at this level spell using memorized associations. (MM)
Zinc deficiency and clinical laboratory indicators in children with malabsorption syndrome.

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum concentrations of zinc and different clinical indicators in children with malabsorption syndrome. The study population consisted of 24 patients with malabsorption syndrome and a group of 30 healthy children as controls. Serum levels of zinc and iron of patients (9.18±2.60 μmol/L, 5.22±3.76 μmol/L) showed significant differences compared with serum concentrations in healthy children (р<0.05). We have found correlations between the following micronutrient concentrations and clinical indicators of the patients: Hb/Ht (r = 0.84, р = 0.0001); Hb/Fe (r = 0.66, р = 0.0004); Zn/Hb (r = -0.46, р = 0.037); Zn/Ht (r = -0.44, р = 0.04); Zn/Fe (r = 0.69, p = 0.0001). The inverse correlation between zinc and haematological indicators suggests that the intake of zinc and iron containing medications should be performed according to therapeutical programs either way: for prevention or for treatment of zinc and iron deficiency in children.
Thermal Model Description of p – Pb Collisions at √ s NN = 5 . 02 TeV

The ALICE data on light flavor hadron production obtained in p − Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV are studied in the thermal model using the canonical approach with exact strangeness conservation. The chemical freeze-out temperature is independent of centrality except for the lowest multiplicity bin, with values close to 160 MeV but consistent with those obtained in Pb−Pb collisions at √ sNN = 2.76 TeV. The value of the strangeness non-equilibrium factor γs is slowly increasing with multiplicity from 0.9 to 0.96, i.e. it is always very close to full chemical equilibrium.

Enterprise Engineering: An emerging field and the ongoing research

The field of Industrial Engineering has changed over the years, and it has now evolved into Enterprise Engineering. This new discipline embodies the knowledge, principles and practices relating to the analysis, design, implementation and operation of an enterprise. We had defined enterprise engineering as the engineering process applied to enterprises. Consequently, one approach to understanding enterprise engineering is to view it as systems engineering. The PhD program in the Industrial and Systems Engineering at Florida International University provides integrated research and education in the area of enterprise systems engineering. The National Science Foundation, NASA AMES Research Center and local corporations have partially funded the department’s research in this area. The primary ongoing research effort at FIU on enterprise systems is enterprise integration. Enterprise integration can be defined as the study of an organization, its processes, and resources, understanding how they are related to each other and determining the enterprise structure so as to efficiently execute the enterprise goals. This paper discusses the research conducted in enterprise integration at FIU.

Vector Similarity of Related Words and Synonyms in the Japanese WordNet

Word2vec is a tool that produces a vector representation of words from a large amount of text data. In this paper, we show that only a part of the vector space produced by word2vec is enough to represent the collective sense of a set of related words in the Japanese WordNet. Further, we will show that there is a subspace in the vector space which do not relate to the collective sense. We construct a compact decision tree by using the vectors in order to distinguish whether a given word belongs to the set of related words.
Algebraic Approaches to Space-Time Code Construction for Multiple-Antenna Communication

A major challenge in wireless communications is overcoming the deleterious effects of fading, a phenomenon largely responsible for the seemingly inevitable dropped call. Multiple-antennas communication systems, commonly referred to as MIMO systems, employ multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver, thereby creating a multitude of signalling pathways between transmitter and receiver. These multiple pathways give the signal a diversity advantage with which to combat fading. Apart from helping overcome the effects of fading, MIMO systems can also be shown to provide a manyfold increase in the amount of information that can be transmitted from transmitter to receiver. Not surprisingly, MIMO has played, and continues to play, a key role in the advancement of wireless communication. Space-time codes are a reference to a signalling format in which information about the message is dispersed across both the spatial (or antenna) and time dimension. Algebraic techniques drawing from algebraic structures such as rings, fields and algebras, have been extensively employed in the construction of optimal space-time codes that enable the potential of MIMO communication to be realized, some of which have found their way into the IEEE wireless communication standards. In this tutorial article, reflecting the authors’ interests in this area, we survey some of these techniques.
Performance Measurement of the Fourth Party Logistics Providers

This paper presents a multicriterica decision making method (MCDM) to evaluate the performance of the fourth-party logistics providers. The four indexes of balanced scorecard (BSC) are used as the evaluation indexes. AHP (analytical hierarchy process) is used for rating the weights of criteria and alternatives. MCDM method of SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) is used for ranking the companies. Results show that the approach is applicable for the performance measurement problem.
