The Identification and Use Efficiency Evaluation of Urban Industrial Land Based on Multi-Source Data

Urban industrial land (UIL), which is classified for industrial purposes, is an indispensable component of urban land. Obtaining up-to-date and timely UIL details from the industrial development perspective has practical significance for UIL planning. Therefore, we propose a practical method for integrating UIL identification and use efficiency evaluation at the parcel scale based on multi-source data. The Open Street Map (OSM) data were utilized to generate parcels, which served as basic analytical units. Point of Interest (POI) data combined with a Continuous Bag-of-Words (CBoW)-based Word2Vec model was utilized to acquire UIL information. The entropy-weight Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method, combined with economic and environmental UIL indicators obtained from remote sensing images, ground observation data, and statistical data, was used to evaluate UIL use efficiency, and the spatial distribution and utilization degree of UIL within Beijing’s fifth ring road was analyzed. The region within Beijing’s fifth ring road was classified into commercial land, industrial land, and other types, with an overall accuracy of 92.24%. With this method, we found that the distribution of UIL presented a ring structure developing outwards along the ring roads and contained concentrated commercial areas. UIL utilization exhibited a south–north differentiation, and industrial land had lower use efficiency. Our work fully utilized the available fine-scale multi-source data.
Political Factors of the Cuts and Surges in Government Spending: The Effects on Old Market Democracies and Post-Communist Countries

The paper is based on the comparative analysis of the episodes of Surges and cuts in spending (old and some new market democracies). We tried to explain surges and cuts by some broadly discussed in the literature factors affecting governments' abilities to balance the budget (such as territorial separatism, the long run domination of the leftor right-wing parties; left or right-wing government etc). Much attention is paid to the phenomenon of universal suffrage, which caused rise to power modern left-wing parties and strong special interest groups within the bureaucracy.
Towards supporting elderly’s orientation, mobility, and autonomy

In the context of the European-funded Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Joint Programme, the project ALMA (Ageing without Losing Mobility and Autonomy) focuses on technologies for supporting the autonomous mobility, navigation, and orientation of the elder, and, more in general, of the person with reduced mobility. ALMA has developed modules for ambient monitoring, user interface and navigation, and automatic wheelchair control. All these modules are connected trough a central integration module that provides maps, planning, and scheduling services on demand. In this paper, we focus on the architecture of the central module and on its mapping and planning features.

Analysis of the 3 ́ non-coding region of Cherry leaf roll virus, a nepovirus

Cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) is a member of the family Comoviridae, genus Nepovirus. The bipartite genome consists of RNA1 (7918 nucleotides, nt) and RNA2 approx. 6800 nt in length. Each RNA comprises a single open reading frame encoding one polyprotein being cleaved proteolytically into functional proteins. Both genomic RNAs contain a VPg at the 5 ́ terminus as well as a 3 ́ terminal poly(A) tail. The genome organisation of CLRV is according to other members of the genus; especially the long 3 ́ non.coding region (3 ́ NCR) of about 1600 nt of both RNAs is a typical feature of the Nepovirus subgroup c. Sequence comparisons of coding regions of the RNA1 (a 523 nt fragment of the RNA dependent-RNA polymerase, RdRp), RNA2 (coat protein, CP, 1539-1542 nt) and the complete 3 ́ NCR (1557-1602 nt) revealed that parts of the untranslated region exhibited higher sequence conservation than protein-coding parts of the genome. CLRV isolates analysed originated from different locations and host plants, thus representing various phylogenetic clusters as proposed by Rebenstorf et al. (2006). Protein encoding sequences exhibited a maximal nucleotide diversity of 23 %, whereas it was found that the 5 ́ proximal part of 3 ́ NCR directly adjacent to the stopcodon of the polyprotein showed higher variability (33 %). The middle part of the 3 ́ NCR revealed 25 % nucleotide variability while the 3 ́ terminal region was highly conserved (17 %). These findings of sequence conservation support the role of the 3 ́ NCR involved in translational regulation (Dreher and Miller 2006). Furthermore, 3 ́ NCRs of RNA1 and RNA2 originating from individual CLRV isolates are not identical, although they exhibit only moderate sequence variability of max. 2 %. This is in accordance with the 3 ́ NCR sequences of other nepoviruses exhibiting isolate specific diversity of 3 ́ NCRs of 1 % (Tomato ringspot virus) and 7 % (Blackcurrant reversion virus).
The effect of tannin extract and n-3 fatty acid source on nutrient digestibility, blood metabolites, enzyme activity, and ruminal parameters of lactating ewes

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of tannin extract and n-3 fatty acid supplementation on nutrient digestibility, ruminal parameters, blood metabolites, and enzyme activity in lactating ewes. Thirty-six lactating ewes were allocated to 6 experimental groups. The dietary treatments were as follows: 1) control, 2) diet supplemented with 2% dry matter (DM) oak leaf tannin extract, 3) diet supplemented with 2% DM grape pomace tannin extract, 4) diet supplemented with 2% DM linseed oil, 5) diet supplemented with 2% DM oak leaf tannin extract and 2% DM linseed oil, and 6) diet supplemented with 2% DM grape pomace tannin extract and 2% DM linseed oil. The results showed the significant effects of treatments on final body weight, digestibility, and some blood metabolites (P < 0.05). Therefore, the treatment groups had higher final body weight, better nutrient digestibility, and higher values of blood parameters. In conclusion, our results showed that the dietary tannin extract and the n-3 fatty acid source improved nutrient digestibility and blood metabolites, and they had a trend of improving the ruminal volatile fatty acid profile while not having any adverse effects on the animals' performance.

Generalized-Fractional Tikhonov-Type Method for the Cauchy Problem of Elliptic Equation

This article researches an ill-posed Cauchy problem of the elliptic-type equation. By placing the a-priori restriction on the exact solution we establish conditional stability. Then, based on the generalized Tikhonov and fractional Tikhonov methods, we construct a generalized-fractional Tikhonov-type regularized solution to recover the stability of the considered problem, and some sharp-type estimates of convergence for the regularized method are derived under the a-priori and a-posteriori selection rules for the regularized parameter. Finally, we verify that the proposed method is efficient and acceptable by making the corresponding numerical experiments.
Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacter cloacae Causing Nosocomial Infections in Southwestern China: Molecular Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Predictors of Mortality

Background The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae (CR-ECL) have posed a serious threat to clinical management. This retrospective study assessed the epidemiological characteristics of CR-ECL to explore the risk factors and predictors of mortality in patients with CR-ECL infection. Methods We performed a retrospective 1:2 case-control study of hospitalized patients from January 2014 to December 2017. A total of 85 consecutive unique CR-ECL strains comprised the case group, and 170 matched patients with carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacter cloacae (CS-ECL) infection at the same period as the control group. Isolates were screened for potential resistance genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and molecular typing was performed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results The results of drug resistance gene detection showed that blaNDM-1 was the most common carbapenem resistance gene. The MLST results showed that ST51 was the predominant epidemic type, followed by ST88. ICU admission (P<0.001), drainage tube (P=0.002), central venous catheter (P=0.005), and carbapenem exposure (P=0.003) were independent risk factors for CR-ECL infection. Significant predictors for 28-day mortality included solid tumours (P=0.005), septic shock (P=0.019), and mechanical ventilation (P=0.027). Conclusion Our study indicated that ST51 and ST88, which are closely related, were the predominant epidemic types of CR-ECL producing blaNDM-1 in southwestern China. Strengthening the surveillance of patients with solid tumours, septic shock and mechanical ventilation is an urgent need.
Collection Volume Method: Computation Details

Eriksson’s (1979, 1980, 1987) improved EGM took a more physical approach than the simple EGM or RSM by taking into account the dependence of striking distance on the structure height in addition to the known dependence on peak stroke current (or downward leader charge) shown in Table 1 below per IEC 62305-1 (2006).

The Effect of Peripheral Vascular Disease on Diabetic Neuropathy

Objective: To evaluate the effect of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) on diabetic neuropathy with the use of Doppler ultrasound and electrodiagnostic study. Method: One hundred fifty one patients with diabetes mellitus underwent nerve conduction studies. PVD was diagnosed when ankle-brachial index (ABI) was 0.9 and less and also toe-brachial index (TBI) was 0.7 and less. Electrophysiologically normal group was subdivided into non- PVD group (A1) and PVD group (A2). Diabetic neuropathy group was subdivided into non-PVD group (B1) and PVD group (B2). The frequency of diabetic neuropathy and the difference of amplitude, conduction velocity, and F wave latency within A groups and B groups were investigated. Results: Diabetic neuropathy was significantly correlated with PVD (p＜0.05). There was no definite difference of electrophysiologic parameters between A1 and A2 groups. B1 group showed significantly reduced amplitude of sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) in sural nerve compared with B2 group (p＜0.05). In all patients, the amplitude of SNAP in sural nerve was related with duration of diabetes and TBI by multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion: This study supports the influence of PVD on diabetic neuropathy and suggests vascular abnormality in patients with diabetic neuropathy may result in predominantly axonal injury rather than demyelinating injury.

Carbon Dynamics in a Human-Modified Tropical Forest: A Case Study Using Multi-Temporal LiDAR Data

Tropical forests hold significant amounts of carbon and play a critical role on Earth´s climate system. To date, carbon dynamics over tropical forests have been poorly assessed, especially over vast areas of the tropics that have been affected by some type of disturbance (e.g., selective logging, understory fires, and fragmentation). Understanding the multi-temporal dynamics of carbon stocks over human-modified tropical forests (HMTF) is crucial to close the carbon cycle balance in the tropics. Here, we used multi-temporal and high-spatial resolution airborne LiDAR data to quantify rates of carbon dynamics over a large patch of HMTF in eastern Amazon, Brazil. We described a robust approach to monitor changes in aboveground forest carbon stocks between 2012 and 2018. Our results showed that this particular HMTF lost 0.57 m·yr−1 in mean forest canopy height and 1.38 Mg·C·ha−1·yr−1 of forest carbon between 2012 and 2018. LiDAR-based estimates of Aboveground Carbon Density (ACD) showed progressive loss through the years, from 77.9 Mg·C·ha−1 in 2012 to 53.1 Mg·C·ha−1 in 2018, thus a decrease of 31.8%. Rates of carbon stock changes were negative for all time intervals analyzed, yielding average annual carbon loss rates of −1.34 Mg·C·ha−1·yr−1. This suggests that this HMTF is acting more as a source of carbon than a sink, having great negative implications for carbon emission scenarios in tropical forests. Although more studies of forest dynamics in HMTFs are necessary to reduce the current remaining uncertainties in the carbon cycle, our results highlight the persistent effects of carbon losses for the study area. HMTFs are likely to expand across the Amazon in the near future. The resultant carbon source conditions, directly associated with disturbances, may be essential when considering climate projections and carbon accounting methods.
AQUEOUS DISPERSIONS OF POLYURETHANE POLYMERS

OF THE DISCLOSURE Aqueous dispersions of polyurethanae polymers are prepared by reacting together (I) an isocyanate-termi nated polyurethane polymer formed from (a) active hy drogen containing organic compounds and (b) organic polyisocyanates and (II) a chain extender containing ac tive hydrogen. Polymer () is mixed with water, dispersed in the water at an initial temperature of from about -5 to 20 C. , and chain extender (II) added to the water dispersion of polymer (I) with agitation. This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. pat ent application Ser. No. 362,588, filed Apr. 27, 1964, now abandoned. It is disclosed in the prior art that polyurethane poly mers can be prepared by a two-step process. In the first step, an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer is prepared by interacting an active hydrogen containing organic com pound with an organic isocyanate. In the second step, chain extenson is accomplished by reaction of the iso cyanate-terminated prepolymer with a chain extender con taining active hydrogen such as, for example, water, amines and other chain extending agents. Diamines are particularly useful as chain extending agents. The prep aration of polyurethanes is disclosed in many references including the texts entitled Polyurethanes by Bernard A. Dombrow, published by Reinhold Publishing Corpora tion, New York, N.Y. , 1957, and Polyurethanes; Chemistry and Technology by J. H. Saunders and K. C. Frisch, published by Interscience Publishers, New York London, wherein disclosure is made of methods for pro ducing polyurethanes including those wherein an isocya nate-terminated prepolymer is first prepared and then re acted with a chain extending agent. For many applications it is desirable to prepare stable aqueous dispersions of polyurethane polymers. For ex ample, such aqueous dispersions are desirable as an im pregnant for paper to increase burst strength and fold resistance, as coatings for boxboard to increase abrasion resistance, as coatings for textiles to provide waterproof fabric which is light in weight and which retains a high degree of flexibility and wear resistance, as coatings for leather, as a material to make elastic or plastic foams, for elastic fibers by latex coagulating processes, for the preparation of articles by dipping processes, and for cast ing on a flat Surface to form high-strength films useful for packaging and other protective coatings. However, in the preparation of aqueous dispersions of polyurethane polymers by the prior art methods, diffi cult problems are presented with regard to the initial re action of polyisocyanates with active hydrogen containing compounds due to a tendency toward unsatisfactory film formation, mechanical instability, and coagulation of the dispersion. Accordingly, it is a purpose of this invention to prepare mechanically stable aqueous dispersions of polyurethane 0
Development of a novel pre-screen algorithm for cardio-metabolic risk management using a genomics database resource

Introduction: The cholesterol-raising properties of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon-4 (ε4) allele has been validated in the South African population. Mounting evidence supports the added value of APOE genotyping for the evaluation of cardiovascular risk in dyslipidaemic patients beyond its established role in the diagnosis of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the potential benefits of combining AD family history with questionnaire-based lifestyle assessment to facilitate the clinical interpretation of APOE genotyping results. Methods: A total of 580 unrelated South African individuals prospectively enrolled in a chronic disease screening program incorporating a genetic component (2010-2015) was selected for inclusion in this study based on the presence (75) or absence (505) of AD family history. Biochemical assessment of their lipid profiles was performed according to standard laboratory protocols. All study participants were genotyped for the APOE ε-2/ε-3/ε-4 alleles using allele-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction technology. Results: In patients without a family history of AD, APOE genotype modified the relationship between alcohol intake and body mass index (p=0.026), with a significant positive correlation noted between these parameters being limited to ε-4 allele carriers. APOE genotype also modified the association between alcohol intake and total serum cholesterol in patients with a positive family history of AD (p=0.026). Conclusions: We demonstrated the benefits of a questionnaire-based approach for assessment of lifestyle risk factors to facilitate clinical interpretation of APOE genotyping results for targeted intervention in a genetic subgroup of dyslipidaemic patients at increased risk for AD.

Ergonomics Design and Management : Theory and Applications Series Editor

Every day we interact with thousands of consumer products. We not only expect them to perform their functions safely, reliably, and efficiently, but also to do it so seamlessly that we don’t even think about it. However, with the many factors involved in consumer product design, from the application of human factors and ergonomics principles to reducing risks of malfunction and the total life cycle cost, the process just seems to get more complex. Edited by well-known and well-respected experts, the two volumes of Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design simplify this process.
DETEMINANTS OF QUALITY CERTIFICATION

Quality certification may be considered as a source of knowledge. On the other hand knowledge is a beneficiary investment that enterprises would likely invest. The purpose of the study is to identify possible determinants of quality certification in enterprises in a sample of approximately 9700 enterprises. We estimate a nonlinear model using MLE method and find that large enterprises and enterprises that introduce a new product have higher probability to hold a quality certification. Also we find that facing an obstacle in access to financing may be an impediment to having a quality certification.
