Lactose Sources and Lysine Levels in Diets for Weaning Piglets

One experiment was carried out to evaluate the use of lactose sources (dried whey and lactose) and lysine levels (1.20 and 1.50%) in diets for weaned piglets with diferent body weight at 21 days of age, regarding performance and intestinal morphology of piglets in initial phase. Three hundred and eighty-four piglets from 21 to 42 days were sorted in a complete randomized design with a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, in a total of eight treatments and four replications each. Samples of duodenum from three piglets slaughtered at 42 days of age were harvested from each treatment to study intestinal morphology. The following performance characteristics were evaluated: weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion. The morphologycal parameters were as follows: villous height, duodenum crypt depth, villous height/duodenum crypt depth ratio and pancreas/carcass weight ratio. Performance of piglets fed corn-soybean mealbased diets with lactose was better when the level of lysine was of 1.5%. It was also concluded that the type of diets studied did not alter the morphologycal parameters and that the villous height is a direct function of piglet weight.
Machine Learning in Healthcare Data Analysis: A Survey

In recent years, healthcare data analysis is becoming one of the most promising research areas. Healthcare includes data in various types such as clinical data, Omics data, and Sensor data. Clinical data includes electronic health records which store patient records collected during ongoing treatment. Omics data is one of the high dimensional data comprising genome, transcriptome and proteome data types. Sensor data is collected from various wearable and wireless sensor devices. To handle this raw data manually is very difficult. For analysis of data, machine learning is emerged as a significant tool. Machine learning uses various statistical techniques and advanced algorithms to predict the results of healthcare data more precisely. In machine learning different types of algorithms like supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement are used for analysis. In this paper, different types of machine learning algorithms are described. Then use of machine learning algorithms for analyzing various healthcare data are surveyed.
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND THE IMPERATIVE OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN ADDRESSING SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA'S RURAL COMMUNITIES

Social entrepreneurship is a growingly important concept in the economy of countries. It enhances the improvement of the society by influencing the changing situation of the economy and has the ability to deal with the social, environmental and other changing issues. Social entrepreneurship typically refers to the phenomenon of applying business expertise and market-based skills in the non-profit sector. It creates social value, rather than personal and shareholder wealth, and is characterized by innovation. Rather than replication of existing enterprises or practices. The central driver for social organization form a social enterprise that should be a decision based on which format would most effectively mobilize the resources needed to address that problem. Corporate social responsibility has often been treated as an essential component in the initiation and promotion of social entrepreneurship. Corporate social responsibility means considering, managing and balancing economic, social and environmental impact of its activities. Corporate social responsibility is the open and transparent business practices that are based on ethical values and respect for employees, communities and the environment. Based on corporate social responsibility, companies integrate social and environmental concern in their business operations and in their interaction with their shareholder on a voluntary basis. It is on this premises that, this paper examine the impact of socioentrepreneurship as a non-profit venture and essential component of corporate social responsibility in solving social problems of African community. The paper concluded that, people should voluntarily donate into non-profit organizations in order to help less privileged in the society.

Investigation of HIV-1 Variants with Broader Tropism than Wild-type Virus

HIV-1 predominantly uses CD4 and the chemokine receptor, CCR5 to gain entry into host cells. Different strains vary in ability to infect cells with low receptor concentrations. The MQP’s purpose was to analyze molecular clones of an HIV variant that could infect T-cells expressing low amounts of CCR5. Such variants may confer a broader tropism for immune cells. Envelope clones were tested for their ability to fuse with cells expressing different concentrations of CD4 and CCR5. Variant envelope clones that were more fusiogenic for cells with low CCR5 or CD4 were identified. Amino acid substitutions in V2 and a region that binds CD4 were identified as potential determinants of the variant phenotype.
Types Of Essays City Of Manila

The City of Manila has a population of 1.7 million people and is considered as one of the most polluted cities in the world with notorious traffic congestions. The city of Adelaide is, on the other hand, one of the most liveable cities in the world, with a population of 1.2 million and practically no traffic jams at all. This paper compares these two cities in order to establish what manila can learn from Adelaide. The City of Manila is a relatively small city with a population of about 1.7 million people and an area of around 40 square kilometers. The city can thus be categorized amongst the overpopulated cities of the world (Townsend, 2013). Consequently, Manila has a very high level of pollution and other challenges including traffic and poor drainage system that makes the sanitation very problematic.

The meCUE Questionnaire . A Modular Tool for Measuring User Experience

Nowadays, a satisfying user experience is the goal of any usercentered design activity and the key to success for any technical device. User experience (UX) is a holistic concept that emphasizes the importance of subjective appraisals, feelings and motivational tendencies before, during and after interacting with a technical product. It includes numerous aspects, such as usability, aesthetics, social communication of personal values, emotional stimulation and motivational support for using and reusing the product. Based on a comprehensive framework of UX, the Components model of User Experience (CUE) by Thüring and Mahlke [1], a new questionnaire for a standardized measurement of UX was developed, the meCUE questionnaire. This questionnaire consists of four separately validated modules which refer to instrumental and noninstrumental product perceptions, user emotions, consequences of usage, and an overall judgment of attractiveness. The construction of the questionnaire was based on two online data collections, in which n = 238 subjects participated respectively. Two laboratory experiments and a further online survey were conducted for determining the reliability and the validity of the questionnaire. Results support the assumption that both, the internal consistency of the constructed scales as well as their discriminative, criterion-related and construct validity are highly acceptable. Therefore, meCUE is a valuable and economic instrument for measuring key aspects of UX providing a promising alternative to existing questionnaires.
1 Scission : Variation without relationalism ?

Brown (2015) highlights cases of “chromatic layering” — scenarios in which one perceives an opaque object through a transparent volume/film/filter with a chromatic or achromatic content of its own — as a way of reining in the argument from perceptual variation I’ve used to motivate a relationalist account of color properties (Cohen 2004, 2009). That argument (about which more anon) generalizes widely across a very wide range of circumstantial and perceptual parameters which, when they take on different values, lead to a difference in the experienced color of a fixed stimulus. Such parameters include, e.g., viewing distance, viewing angle, retinal photoreceptor type ratios, chromatic surround, and so on. The intended conclusion of the argument is that color properties are best understood in terms of relations to the relevant parameters. But Brown urges that the argument in question does not generalize smoothly to all types of perceptual variation — in particular, that it fits poorly in layering cases in which there is either experiential fusion or scission. While he doesn’t want to reject the relationalist description of variation in all cases, he does suggest that there is an alternative, and preferable, description available for layering cases, and that the availability of this alternative puts limits on the scope of both relationalist arguments and relationalist conclusions. In what follows I want to suggest that the obstacles for the argument from perceptual variation (hence for relationalism) posed by cases of layering are merely apparent. I argue that relationalism can be extended smoothly to cases of layering, and indeed that denying this extension, as Brown proposes, contravenes ordinary and more or less universally accepted canons of rational inquiry. I’ll begin by reviewing the argument from perceptual variation, and showing how it motivates color relationalism (§1). Next, I’ll present Brown’s layering cases, and explain how he thinks they pose challenges to the argument from perceptual variation (§2). Then I’ll attempt to defuse these challenges: I’ll argue that there are no grounds for regarding either fusion or scission as problems for the argument from perceptual variation or color relationalism (§§3–4). Finally, I’ll reply to Brown’s methodological objections; I’ll show that, contrary to his accusations, the relationalist treatment of layering rests on (and Brown’s preferred analysis depends on flouting) a very weak and well-motivated conception of uniformity that we all have reason to accept (§5). I’ll conclude that the challenge from layering is a challenge relationalists can meet.
Holistic Perspective to Individual Study Plan: Personal Development Project Plan

How could we reinvent the Individual Study Plan (ISP) in order to promote students’ study planning? What kind of ISP model could truly motivate students? Based on graduate feedback we know that students feel they should have learned more about project management. That observation led to integrating project planning and management elements with individual study planning into the Personal Development Project Plan (PDPP) in a course setting. PDPP was co-designed with students. The aim was to design something that would help students track their achievements and plan their personal development, i.e. match personal development with project planning. PDPP puts all the focus on the individual level. Through an iterative and incremental process, students are intended to find their own personal targets and design the means and tools to track how they’re advancing towards set targets. We see PDPP as a way to manage the expectations one faces as well as a tool for managing one’s well-being. Through the PDPP process, students learn how they can take ownership of their studies. This should result in students having improved time management skills and the ability to reach 60 ECTS credits per academic year while increasing their probability of completing their degrees in the normative timeframe. These factors are also elements of the university’s funding model, thus the use of PDPP could be seen as an investment. To date, we have early non-formal results indicating that more credits are completed by the students who have participated in PDPP compared to those who have not. Student feedback and teacher observations indicate positive learning experiences and effective learning in extracurricular skills and life planning.
Finance and Carbon Emissions

We study the relation between the structure of financial systems and carbon emissions in a large panel of countries and industries over the period 1990-2013. We find that for given levels of economic and financial development and environmental regulation, CO2 emissions per capita are lower in economies that are relatively more equity-funded. Industry-level analysis reveals two distinct channels. First, stock markets reallocate investment towards less polluting sectors. Second, they also push carbon-intensive sectors to develop and implement greener technologies. In line with this second effect, we show that carbon-intensive sectors produce more green patents as stock markets deepen. We also document an increase in carbon emissions associated with the production of imported goods equal to around one-tenth of the reduction in domestic carbon emissions.

A State of the Art: Software Configuration Management Tools for Global Software Development

Global Software Development (GSD) has emerged widely in today’s software development environment. The emergence of GSD has create difficulty to several technical areas such as Requirement Engineering, Validation and Verification; not to mention Software Configuration Management (SCM) practices. To date, many SCM tools has been proposed by the researchers to reduce the difficulties faced by GSD project developers when dealing with SCM practices. Therefore, there is a need to update on the current trend of SCM tools in GSD context in order to assist practitioners in selecting the best tools for their project. To perform the study, Systematic Mapping Studies (SMS) has been used to identify and provide an overview of the SCM tools which has been developed specifically for GSD environment. This paper contributes the following: 1) This paper synthesized the SCM tools in GSD and 2) Current trend of SCM tools in today’s software development environment also is identified.
Synthesis and Characterization of RuSr 2 R 1 . 6 Ce 0 . 4 Cu 2 O 10 ( R = Gd , Eu , and Sm )

The discovery of the coexistence of superconductivity andweak ferromagnetism in ruthenocuprates like RuSr 2 R 2−x Ce x Cu 2 O 10 (Ru, R-1222; R = Eu, Gd) and RuSr 2 GdCu 2 O 8 (Ru-1212) has created a tremendous interest both experimentally as well as theoretically. Here, we have prepared polycrystalline samples of RuSr 2 R 1.4 Ce 0.6 Cu 2 O 10 (R = Gd, Eu, and Sm) by the standard solid state reaction method. These samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, dc resistivity, and squid measurements. All the prepared samples were single phasewithout any trace of impurity. From the low-temperature resistivitymeasurement, the samples of RuSr 2 R 2−x Ce x Cu 2 O 10 (R = Eu and Gd) were found to be superconducting, while the samples of RuSr 2 Sm 1.6 Ce 0.4 Cu 2 O 10 show semiconducting behavior. The magnetization (M) versus field (H) hysteresis at 5 K clearly shows the ferromagnetic behavior of the samples. The zero field cooled magnetization (MZFC) and field cooled magnetization (MFC) diverge at 100K.
WORD SENSE DISAMBIGUATION FOR TAMIL LANGUAGE USING PART-OF-SPEECH AND CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE

Word sense disambiguation is an important task in Natural Language Processing (NLP), and this paper concentrates on the problem of target word selection in machine translation. The proposed method called enhanced Word Sense Disambiguation with Part-of-Speech and Clustering based Sensecollocation (WSDPCS) consists of two steps namely (i) Part-of-Speech (POS) tagger in disambiguating word senses and (ii) Enhanced with Clustering and Sense-collocation dictionary based disambiguation. In the first step an ambiguous Tamil words are disambiguated using Tamil and English POS Tagger. If it has same type of POS category labels, then it passes the word to the next step. In the second step ambiguity is resolved using sense-collocation dictionary. The experimental analysis shows that the accuracy of proposed WSDPCS method achieves 1.86% improvement over an existing method.
Studies on the effects of disturbances on staging Brent Geese : a progress report

Preliminary analyses of the effects of disturbance by a variety of recreational and other human activities on Dark-bellied Brent Geese Branta bemicla bemicla on their spring staging areas •n the Schleswig-Holstein part of the Wadden Sea are reported. Three areas subject to different patterns and intensities of human use were studied. Recreational pressure appears to limit the use of this part of the Wadden Sea as a staging area, because when the number of tourists was high the geese were seen to use more restricted feeding areas and were seen in smaller numbers.
Conceptual design for assembly in the context of additive manufacturing

As additive manufacturing (AM) emerges as an end-of-use product manufacturing process, design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) as a new design philosophy receives more and more attention. However, current DFAM research focuses on downstream and part-level design activities such as structural optimization and design rules. Design freedom enabled by AM such as, part consolidation and function integration has not been fully investigated. These design freedom forces designers to rethink about assembly-level design so as to embrace integrated functionality. To understand how to integrate AM characteristics into design process, three questions are investigated: 1) why does conceptual design need to be redone for assembly? 2) what has changed by AM in design concept generation? 3) how to do conceptual design in AM context? Afterwards, a conceptual design framework is proposed to aid design flow management. In the end, a throttle pedal redesign case is demonstrated as verification of the proposed design framework.
Automatic Evaluation Method for Machine Translation based on Cross-Lingual Similarity using Word Embeddings without Reference Translation

We propose a new method for automatic evaluation method for machine translation without reference. Automatic evaluation of machine translation is generally based on the use of reference. However, when the user wants to know the quality of the translation, there is no reference in most cases. Though there is a research to estimate the quality of translation without reference ,it is difficult to use it because there is no large-scale bilingual corpus between English and Japanese. In this paper, our proposed method based on Cross-Lingual Similarity evaluates translation without bilingual corpus using word embeddngs and translation matrix.
Future resilience scaled by surveillance : high sensitivity of albatross to regional illegal , unreported and unregulated fishing effort

For Kerguelen black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophris), warmer sea-surface temperatures (SST) near the colony during incubation have historically promoted chick survival, implying that future increased temperatures would support population viability. However, a historical population decline was driven by by-catch of albatross from the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) demersal longline fleet. The virtual removal of this fleet from the region allowed this population to rebound, yet these albatross are susceptible to by-catch in many fleets and future fishing behaviour is uncertain. Albatross demographics were projected assuming forecast changes in SST and five future fishing effort scenarios. These scenarios indicate a high sensitivity to shelf/slope versus pelagic effort. Specifically, scenarios altering trawl and legal demersal effort estimated slight changes in bycatch while a scenario allowing the re-emergence of the IUU demersal longline effort produced high by-catch estimates and a decline in the number of breeding pairs. Negligible by-catch occurred in pelagic fleets across scenarios. The sensitivity of this population relates to intense use of these habitats during the breeding period, where IUU effort was historically greatest, and diffuse overlap with pelagic effort in nonbreeding periods. These findings underscore the importance of continued surveillance and management of by-catch on the plateau region.
