Response to Editor’s Comments Global Downscaling of Remotely-Sensed Soil Moisture using Neural Networks

Characterizing soil moisture at spatio-temporal scales relevant to land surface processes (i.e. of the order of a kilometer) is necessary in order to quantify its role in regional feedbacks between land surface and the atmospheric boundary layer. Moreover, several applications such as agricultural management can benefit from soil moisture information at fine spatial scales. Soil moisture estimates from current satellite missions have a reasonably good temporal revisit over the globe (2-3 days repeat time); however, their finest spatial resolution is 9km. NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite estimates soil moisture at two 15 different spatial scales of 36km and 9km since April 2015. In this study, we develop a neural networks-based downscaling algorithm using SMAP observations and disaggregate soil moisture to 2.25km spatial resolution. Our approach uses mean monthly Normalized Differenced Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an ancillary data to quantify sub-pixel heterogeneity of soil moisture. Evaluation of the downscaled soil moisture estimates against in situ observations shows that their accuracy is better than or equal to the SMAP 9km soil moisture estimates. 20
Low connector-to-connector loss through silicon photonic chips using ultra-low loss splicing of SMF-28 to high numerical aperture fibers

Here we present extremely low connector-to-connector loss (≤3 dB) through silicon photonic chips using ultra-low loss (≤0.15 dB) splicing between SMF-28 and ultra-high numerical aperture (UHNA) fibers. The small MFD from the UHNA fibers enables strong coupling to hybrid TE/TM edge couplers achieving TM (TE) losses of 1.25 (2.35) dB per coupler and low polarization-dependent loss. Mode coupling simulations and tolerance are investigated to understand performance. © 2019 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
Immunohistochemical study of neoangiogenesis markers in squamous cell lung cancer

Materials and methods. Pathomorphological and immunohistochemical studies of surgical material from 20 patients, which were treated in ZRCOD because of SCLC, were conducted: 10 patients with SCLC without metastases in regional lymph nodes formed the I group of study and 10 patients with SCLC with metastases in regional lymph nodes formed the II group of study. 10 samples of regional lymph nodes with metastases were also examined (the III group of study). Immunohistochemical study was carried out using antibodies against VEGFR-2 and CD34.
Effects of PSMA1 on the differentiation and lipid deposition of bovine preadipocytes

ABSTRACT In this study, our goal was to clarify the role of proteasomal subunit α-1 (PSMA1) in both the differentiation of preadipocytes and the accumulation of lipids in adipocytes. Preadipocytes from healthy one-day-old calves were collected, isolated, and cultured in vitro. The expression pattern of the PSMA1 gene was explored during the differentiation of bovine preadipocytes firstly. Then, the expression of the PSMA1 gene was inhibited by transfection of a chemically synthesized small interfering RNA (siRNA) before differentiation. After induction [. ]
Vicreys bottleneck model with a cooperative sub-network

The aggregate performances of a road network result from the choices of a great number of atomic drivers, all competing to minimize their own individual cost. Unlike for other multi-agent games, this competition is not bene ting anyone. In fact, Vickrey [1] showed that it represents a sizeable part of the costs due to congestion (exactly half these costs if all users are identical see e.g. [2]). On the basis of this observation, Vickrey and the following literature have proposed time-dependent tolls that can ensure a cooperative behavior, thus converting the time wasted in congested tra¢ c into real money (that can be redistributed), without a¤ecting the arrival times at work. Despite the extraordinary expected bene ts of such a scheme, several reasons have hindered the wide-scale adoption of cooperation-ensuring measures. On the one hand, tolling is in general very poorly accepted or understood by the population, especially if the tolling infrastucture are themselves expensive. On the other hand, the question of how the money collected should be redistributed remains the subject of debate, with fears that it would disappear into a bureaucratic black hole. Consequently, only very few major cities (e.g. Singapour and Stockholm) have taken such a step.
Modificaciones de las lipoproteínas del plasma en voluntarios sometidos a dietas preparadas con aceite de girasol solo o mezclado con oleína de palma.

We analyzed in 31 subjects, regular guests of the University food service of the Central University of Venezuela (UCVFS), in Caracas, the effects of replacing sunflower oil, commonly used in the preparation of meals, by a mix of sunflower oil and palm olein 70/30 (v/v) respectively. Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, low and very low density lipoproteins were not changed after 40 days of the substitution. On the contrary, concentrations of high density lipoprotein and total triglycerides increased. The resistance to the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins increased considerably (p < 0.01). Today this resistance is considered as a protective factor of great importance in the prevention of the initiation of the atherogenic process. Taking into account the favorable modifications of HDL cholesterol and the clear increased resistance to the oxidation of LDL, we think that palm olein, mixed with other oils with a high ratio linoleic/palmitic (sunflower, corn, soya an the likes), can be used as a healthy alternative in human nutrition.
Syntactic Interference: A Study of Ígálá and English Noun Phrases in Malachai 1:6 and Mathew 2:1

Igala native speakers face some challenges in their attempt to acquire the English language and one of these challenges is encountered in their attempt to use English Noun Phrases. Learning English Noun Phrases by speakers whose mother-tongue is Igala is one of the most frequent and significant areas of difficulties at syntactic level which Igala learners of English come across due to the differences between the NP systems in both languages. The Igala language has an NP system that functions differently, for instance, the notion of definiteness and indefiniteness of articles are encoded differently than in that of the English language. Given the fact that articles are one of the most frequent words occurring in the English language Noun Phrase, this study pinned down such an important issue by describing how the differences between the Igala and English languages in concern to the Noun Phrase system cause Igala learners of English to commit errors (Mother-Tongue interference) in their English learning process as a result of Mother-Tongue illiteracy, incompetence in both L1 and L2, and inconsistencies in Igala articles. This work was anchored on PSG and labelled brackets as a model of syntactic analysis. The paper made use of bilingual text approach. The work observed that there is direct transfer of the grammatical features of Igala to English language and that there is positive transfer of linguistic features from Igala to English where there are linguistic similarities between the two languages. The paper also observed that possessive adjectives (his, my, your, her) pose no problem for Igala learners of English. The paper concluded by saying that the problems Igala L1 speakers encounter while attempting to use English Noun Phrases are based not only on the degree of differences between the Igala and English Noun Phrase systems, but inconsistencies in Igala articles.

Creencias Motivacionales Específicas a Subcampos de Estudios de Empresa: Interrelaciones, Antecedentes y Cambio en la Fase Introductoria de un Estudio

Self-concepts of ability (SCA) and intrinsic task values (ITV) are key determinants of students’ choice of study program and dropout. Both constructs are multidimensional (i.e., specific to curricular learning content) and hierarchically structured (i.e., aggregate into one or more higher-order factors). The present study investigated German business studies students’ (N = 375; age: M (SD) = 21.8 (5.51); 59% female) subfield-specific SCAs and ITVs. Longitudinal data collected at the transition into higher education (t1) and toward the end of the first semester (t2) gave insight into (changes in) interrelations and antecedents of subfield-specific SCAs and ITVs during the introductory study phase, when students likely had to review their hitherto anticipated motivational beliefs. Results from confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modelling revealed that interrelations of SCAs and ITVs decrease over time. SCAs correlate increasingly strongly within a mathematical and a verbal domain compared to cross-domain correlations. Accordingly, mathematics, but not German SCA, from high school predicts all subfield-specific SCAs at t1, but only mathematical subfield SCAs at t2. However, the pattern of results for ITVs is less systematic. Curricular and practical implications of the subfield-specific formation of motivational beliefs at the transition into higher education are discussed.
The Morphology and Size of Blood Cells of Lacerta rudis bithynica

In this study, the morphology of the blood cells of Lacerta rudis bithynica is described using Wright's technique. The sizes of erythrocytes and their nuclei, leukocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils), and thrombocytes of L. rudis bithynica were measured using an ocular micrometer at a magnification of 1600X with an oil immersion objective. The results of this study are compared with previous work on other reptile species.
OPTIMAL METHOD FOR SHARING INTERNET IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORK USING FIXED- BAND NON-SHARING, NON-FIXED-BAND NON-SHARING / SHARING ALGORITHMS

Internet is crucial and should be universally accessible by everyone, and as such, there have been several initiatives aimed at enabling wider access to the Internet. Public Access Wi-Fi Service (PAWS) is one such initiative that takes advantage of the unused available capacity in the home broadband connections and allows Less-than-Best Effort access to these resources, as exemplified by Lowest Cost Denominator Networking. PAWS has been recently deployed in Nottingham, and, as other crowd-shared network, it faces limited coverage, since there is a single point of Internet access for every guest user whose availability is depended on the user sharing policies. To mitigate this problem and extend the coverage, here we use the crowd-shared wireless mesh network (WMN), at which the home routers are interconnected as a mesh. Such a wireless mesh network provides multiple points of Internet access and enables resource pooling across all available paths to the Internet. To coordinate the traffic redirections through the WMN, we deploy a software-defined Wireless Mesh Network (SDWMN). We further investigate the potential benefits of a crowd-shared WMN for public Internet access through a comparative study by separating control and data traffic over different spectrum using FB-NS, NFB-NS and NFB-S
THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEPENDENCE OF GALAXY AGE AND STELLAR MASS IN THE REDSHIFT REGION 0.6 ≤ z ≤ 0.75

In this work, I construct a LRG (Luminous Red Galaxy) sample with redshifts 0.6 ≤ z ≤ 0.75 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 15 (SDSS DR15), which contains 184172 CMASS LRGs and 27158 eBOSS LRGs, and examine the environmental dependence of galaxy age and stellar mass in this galaxy sample. I divide this LRG sample into subsamples with a redshift binning size of ∆z = 0.01, and analyze the environmental dependence of galaxy age and stellar mass for these subsamples in each redshift bin. Overall, galaxy age and stellar mass in the LRG sample with redshift 0.6 ≤ z ≤ 0.75 are very weakly correlated with the local environment, which shows that minimal environmental dependence of galaxy parameters can continue to larger redshifts.
Association of Pediatric Obesity with Adult Cardiovascular Disease: A Narrative Review of Published Evidence

The prevalence of pediatric obesity is increasing globally because of lifestyles, which fundamentally create an imbalance that favors caloric intake over expenditure [1]. These lifestyles include sedentary habits such as addiction to computer games, internet, and television, as well as a regular intake of energy-dense fast foods [2]. Several reports reveal the health burden of childhood and adolescent obesity in both developing and developed countries [3-9]. Whereas obesity is prevalent in the lower socio-economic class in developed countries, it is more common in the upper socio-economic class in developing countries. In the latter, sedentary habits and indulgence in fast foods (nutritional transition) are regarded as signs of affluence [10]. Obesity in children and adolescents is associated with several comorbidities and complications, like hypertension [11], obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [12], orthopedic disorders [13], insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) [14,15], dyslipidemia [16], and malignancies [17]. In the pediatric cardio-metabolic syndrome, genetic and environmental factors synergistically act as triggers; but obesity remains the primary etiologic factor which leads to hyperinsulinemia, and subsequently to hypertension and dyslipidemia [18]. Some authors have, however, proposed five diagnostic components for the syndrome, namely abdominal obesity (increased waist circumference), hyperglycemia (glucose intolerance), hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and hypertension [19]. More importantly, some of these diagnostic components are also putative risk factors for T2DM and adult cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular accident (CVA), heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, cardiac dysrhythmias, and thrombo-embolic disease.
Fraser Syndrome: A Report of a Case from Bamako

Fraser syndrome is a rare autosomal resecessive polymalformatif syndrome whose main manifestations are: the cryptophtalmia, syndactylies, visceral and urogenital defects. We report the case of a 6 year old child, 3rd child of a sibling of 3 children from consanguineous marriage, without antecedents personal and family, received in consultation at CHU-IOTA for unilateral symblepharon, syndactyly of 2nd and 3rd interdigital spaces without any other organic defects. The diagnosis of Frazer syndrome has been retained and the child is referred to the team of annexes and orbito-palpebral surgery for better surgical management of cryptophtalmia and parents were referred to the geneticist for genetic counselling regarding future pregnancies. We emphasize the genetic aspects, utility of Tomas’ diagnostic criteria and necessity of prenatal diagnosis.
BioEconomics Comes of Age

SAMFUNDSØKONOMEN NR. 4 – 2002 Introduction »Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution,« the great Russian geneticist Theodore Dobzhansky once noted. Charles Darwin, the discoverer of evolution by natural selection, spent many years pondering the data he collected on the distribution of bird species in the Galapagos Islands. Only after reading Thomas Malthus’ An Essay on the Principle of Population did the idea of natural selection come to him. Alfred Russel, the codiscoverer of evolution by natural selection, reported that he too had come to the idea upon reading Malthus. But of course Thomas Malthus, along with Ricardo and Adam Smith, was one of the founders of the English Classical school in economics. Thus, in a figurative sense, we can say that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of economics. The influence is not all in one direction. The great French economist Quesnay, whose models of flows between agriculture and industry laid the basis for the English Classical school, was inspired by Harvey’s model of the circulation of the blood in the human body. The natural affinity linking economics and biology stems from several factors. First, humans form a biological species, so it is completely natural that ways of understanding nonhuman species will have some applicability to understanding humans. Second, and flowing from the first, both disciplines use the notion that agents optimize subject to constraints to explain their behavior. In biology, what is optimized is »fitness,« while in economics it is »utility. « In biology, the constraints involve physiology and resources, while in economics the constraints are income and wealth. Third, both disciplines recognize that the aggregate effects of the optimizing behavior of members of a population may be quite different from the intentions of the individuals involved, so a population-level analysis is needed – population biology on the one hand, and general equilibrium analysis on the other.

Exploring the Implications of Tutor Negativity Towards a Synthetic Agent in a Learning-by-Teaching Environment

We examine the implications of negativity in free-form dialogue between student tutors and a synthetic agent in APLUS, a learning-by-teaching online learning environment for Algebra. We attempt to determine whether the negativity of a student tutor’s discourse with the agent indicates that the student is learning more or less of the material and whether the feedback they give the synthetic agent is more or less accurate. We found a weak negative correlation between tutor negativity and learning gains and a strong negative correlation between tutor negativity and accuracy of feedback. Negativity might indeed indicate that student tutors lack mastery of the subject matter and need assistance themselves and detecting negativity during tutoring and providing appropriate assistance might enhance the effectiveness of APLUS and other intelligent tutoring systems.
Applying BSC in Order to Development and Export of Engineering and Technical Services in Iranian Oil and Gas Industry

Years ago, the world underwent a shift in wealth, but now something is happening and we are facing this change, in the nature of wealth. Today all the categories of wealth tend to be knowledge based. WTO statistics show, the global economy focuses on knowledge-based products and a country like Iran with 100 years of experience in the oil and gas industry can achieve advantages through exporting engineering and technical services. But it is not always so smooth; lethargy in the Iranian oil and gas industry shows that knowledge is not solely enough and extremely needs special strategies for development. We think the theory of BSC is able to achieve it and improve many weaknesses such as structural false on the way of developing the technical and engineering services. This paper discusses the ways through BSC that enable Iranian oil and gas knowledge to achieve its goals via developing technical and engineering exports and financial advances.

OMR Form Inspection by Web Camera Using Shape-Based Matching Approach

The role of computer vision system as a vital component for high quality image analysis mainly in inspection and recognition process cannot be denied. The system is developed to overcome the discrepancy and drawback from human error and high-cost peripherals. This paper proposes shape-based vision algorithm, a hierarchical template-matching approach that implemented in this system to verify the imaging and inspecting the correct answer of the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet form. An OMR answer sheet schemes with all correct answers are marked on the paper and will be used as a template for object recognition during matching process. Region of interest (ROI) is selected and filtered into grey level to extract the contour of the object. The image is then pre-processed and trained using image processing technique. A low-cost 1.3 MP web camera is used to acquire the marked OMR image for all questions together with the sequence number; this is to ensure the system can distinguish between different questions having the same answer. The student’s answer in the OMR sheet form which matched with the template will be recognized as correct. This approach result shows that the algorithm works better with detection rate and matching accuracy of more than 96%. The approach can be applied in school as teachers able to know the effect of learning and teaching easily and quickly or any other areas which apply shape in their application.
