A new toadfish (Batrachoididae) considered to be a glacial relict in the West Indies. American Museum novitates ; no. 2047

Many fishes that are abundant in the Bahamas are scarce or absent from the Florida Keys, and the reverse is also true. In other instances the two regions are represented by different subspecies or allopatric species pairs. The inshore fish fauna of Cuba is less well known than that of the Keys or that of the Bahamas. The toadfish genus Opsanus affords an example of the faunal difference between Cuba and the Bahamas on one hand and Florida on the other. Three species [0. tau (Linnaeus), 0. pardus (Goode and Bean), and 0. beta (Goode and Bean)] known from Florida are absent from the Bahamas and Cuba. The form of Opsanus that occurs in Cuba and the Bahamas represents an undescribed species, named in the present paper. No member of the Batrachoididae has previously been reported from the Bahamas. Moreover, James E. Bohlke notes (in litt.) that none has been taken in his extensive collections from the eastern Bahamas. Most of the Bahamian specimens of the new species were collected in the course of field work at the Lerner Marine Laboratory of the American
Promotion of Entrepreneurship Education - A Remedy to Graduates and Youth Unemployment – A Theoretical Perspective

Abstract The study sought to understand why young people, especially graduates struggle to find employment. The economy is currently (reportedly) shedding jobs more than it creates. The contention of this paper therefore, is that a strong entrepreneurship culture/spirit among the young people, that is, learners or students, can go a long way to addressing this challenge and a myriad of socio-economic and cultural maladies facing the youth such as, poverty, crime, violence, substance abuse, prostitution and the spread of HIV/AIDS. An enquiry in the form of a qualitative method consisting of observations, interviews and extensive desk-top document analysis has been adopted to address the research problem. A purposeful sampling technique was used to collect data from (n=12 teachers; n=32 learners and n=3 government officials). Extensive documentary evidence shows a mismatch between educational outputs and the type of employment opportunities. This study reveals that teachers bemoan lack of resources, meeting curriculum deadlines, while learners indicate minimal exposure to opportunities to display their entrepreneurial flair, energy and creativity. Furthermore, indications are that very little strides are made in terms of deliberate strategic programmes to foster a paradigm shift from being ‘job-seekers to job creators’ among the graduates in this country. The study not only provides evidence to justify the underlying hypothesis, but also makes recommendations to enhance the promotion of entrepreneurial culture amongst the youth.
Juiciness improvement of frozen battered shrimp burger using modified tapioca starch, sodium alginate, and iota-carrageenan.

A battered shrimp burger, as a new value-added shrimp product, was developed by increasing the juiciness of a frozen battered shrimp burger using a mixture of hydrocolloids. The formulations of hydrocolloid mixtures containing modified tapioca starch (MTS), sodium alginate (AL), and iota-carrageenan (CA) were optimized. Juiciness measurements were defined and analyzed by 13 trained panelists. Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) as well as moisture and fat contents of the products were analyzed. The mixture of MTS and AL had an impact on moisture content and juiciness scores, while CA influenced the hardness. The product made using the optimized formulation (0.3% MTS + 0.7% AL) had a higher moisture content and juiciness scores (p 0.05). However, higher springiness and gumminess were found in the control burger (p 0.05).

Comparison of Characteristics of P-Wave Detection in ECG with Wireless Patch Electrodes

P-wave characteristic in the human electrocardiogram (ECG) is important in the diagnosis of atrial conduction pathology. In this paper, we measured an ECG signal from patient with cardiovascular disease using one lead ECG electrode system which is based on the wireless cardiac monitoring system. And we detected a P-wave in ECG signal using the complex-valued continuous wavelet transforms(CWT) according to two kinds of patch type electrodes such as an existing narrow patch type electrode and the improved wide patch type electrode presented in this paper. Also, we compared the characteristics in detecting the P-wave in terms of the magnitude and the width of P-waves. From the results of comparison we found that the width and the magnitude of P-wave detected using the wide patch type electrode is improved to be interpreted easier compared to those using the narrow patch type electrode. Furthermore, we have also proven that the complex-valued CWT can be used as a robust detector for P-wave in ECG signal analysis.
On the Practical Aspects of Joint Passive Phase Conjugation and Equalization Underwater Communication Systems

Abstract - Underwater acoustic communication is suffered from the channel effects which results in time spreading of the transmitted signal. In underwater environment multiple replicas of the transmitted signal are received at the receiver through different paths, which causes significant Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). Decision Feedback Equalizers (DFE) was utilized to overcome this type of interference in digital communications so many years ago. However, because of the complexity of adaptive equalizers Passive Phase Conjugation (PPC) was widely exploited in underwater communications in the recent years. Because of the poor performance of the PPC method, adaptive equalizers are jointed to improve the PPC performance. In this paper, experimental results conducted in Shiraz Electronic Industrials’ pool are reported. Three different approaches are compared in terms of Symbol Error Rate (SER) versus the number of used channels at the pool: 1) the PPC method; 2) DFE equalizer for only a single channel; 3) the PPC method combined with adaptive DFE. The experimental results showed that the third approach outperforms the others while a simpler receiver is obtained.
The Frequency Of JAK2 V617F Gen Mutation And Its Associations With Whole Blood Count Parameters

Objective: V617F mutation of Janus kinase (JAK2) gene is used in the diagnosis of BCR-ABL negative myeloproliferative diseases such as polycytemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis. In this study, we evaluated the frequency of JAK2 V617F mutation in a group of Turkish individuals and its association with whole blood count parameters. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 201 patients (174 males and 27 females) who were tested for JAK2 V617F mutation from January 2012 to December 2012. JAK2V617F mutation, BCR-ABL mutation, level of white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), level of iron, iron binding capacity and demographic data of patients were also noted. A commercial kit assay for the identification of V617F mutation based on real time-polymerase chain reaction had been used to investigate mutation of the JAK2 gene. Results: 14.9 % of the 201 samples being investigated for JAK2 V617F mutation were positive. Patients who were ordered for JAK2 V617F mutation testing were divided into two groups according to mutation being positive and negative. Age, RDW and PLT levels were significantly higher in mutation positive group (p<0.05). Besides JAK2 V617F mutation, BCR-ABL mutation orders were examined and BCR-ABL mutation reports were also evaluated on subjects. Age, RDW and PLT were significantly higher in JAK2 V617F mutation positive / BCR-ABL mutation negative group (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study significant differences for age, RDW and platelet count were determined in mutation positive subjects. Findings of this study suggest that JAK2 V617F mutation could cause proliferation of megakaryocytic cells as well as erythroid cells and as a result of disturbance in erythroid maturation process, the proliferation in the erythroid cells could cause an increase in RDW.
Schemata and Memory for Sentences: The Effects of Exposure to a British Environment on the English of Hong Kong Teachers at University in England

Sixteen fairly long sentences, eight with United Kingdom and eight with Hong Kong background themes, were presented one at a time on audio-cassettee to 144 Hong Kong teachers of English, who listened to each one and immediately wrote down what they throught they had heard. Sixty-four had never been to England, forty had been at university there for three months and forty for nine months. The sentences were also presented to twenty native English-speaking undergraduate students in the United Kingdom. Schematic background of the sentences significantly influenced recall, with both national groups doing best on schematically familiar sentences. The recall of the United Kingdom sentences by the Hong Kong teachers improved in relation to exposure to an English environment and the time they had had to acquire 'British' schemata. The study highlights the benefits of prolonged periods of exposure to authentic English and associated improvements in language proficiency.
How long do you think it will take? Field Evidence on Gender Differences in Time Optimism

Evidence from ten natural field studies comparing long-distance runners' incentivized predictions of race finishing time with their actual finishing time is reported. A modest but regular bias is found. Male runners are consistently found to be more time optimistic than female runners and finish slower than they predict to finish. Males are found to over-appreciate their physical fitness. To the extent this behaviour carries over to other contexts, such as the labor market, the tendency of men to overestimate their capacity could lead to distorted self-appraisals and give them advantages in terms of higher salaries and better positions.
Pathways to sustainability: an overview of the STEPS Centre approach

Who benefits from genetically-modified crops? Will there be enough water for people to survive this century? What are the implications of the HIV/AIDS pandemic? These are some of the questions that the STEPS Centre is asking. This booklet gives a quick insight in to the STEPS approach as the Centre seeks to grapple with two of the most pressing challenges of our times: linking environmental sustainability with poverty reduction and social justice, and making science and technology work for the poor. Today’s world is highly complex and dynamic, involving interacting social, technological and ecological processes across multiple scales, many uncertainties, and often conflicting understandings and priorities amongst different people. This booklet outlines an approach to understanding dynamic systems and addressing their governance so as to promote pathways to Sustainability that meet the perspectives and priorities of poorer and marginalised groups. It lays out essential ingredients of the STEPS Centre’s work, including linking diverse social and natural science perspectives, connecting theory, policy and practice, and an engaged, interactive approach to communications.

The association between risk disclosure and firm characteristics: a meta-analysis

The empirical literature on the determinants of risk disclosures offers mixed results. This complicates efforts among stakeholders to understand the factors affecting firms’ decision to report risk information. The aim of our paper is to analyze the findings of 42 empirical studies using a meta-analysis technique. We examine whether differences in the findings are attributable to random error or due to legal and institutional systems, uncertainty avoidance, disclosure regime (mandatory vs. voluntary), industry types, and the proxies used to measure corporate characteristics. We find that all moderators affect the relationship between corporate size and risk reporting. Legal system, disclosure regime, industry types, and leverage ratio measurement moderate the association between leverage ratio and risk disclosure. Industry types and uncertainty-avoidance level affect the relationship between profitability and risk disclosure. Finally, the association between risk factor and risk disclosure is moderated by industry types. We discuss the implications of our findings and offer suggestions for future research.
A Combined TCP-friendly Rate control with WFQ Approach for Congestion Control for MANET

Congestion control techniques are extensively used to avoid congestion over the wireless network. But these techniques are incapability of to handle the increased utilization of the various application which raising high congestion and packet loss over the network and causing inconvenient to different services. The TCPfriendly rate control (TFRC) protocol is primarily considered to describe the effective and finest potential provision for such applications which is following it preeminent in the wired and wireless environment. But it also suffers due to slow start and time-consuming process which required several round-trip-time (RTT) to reach an optimal level of the communication rate. As the TRFC transmission rate is highly affected by the increase RTTs and this results in an raise in the packet loss and a corresponding significant decrease in the throughput. In this paper, we propose an integrated TFRC with weighted fair queue (WFQ) approach to overcoming the congestion and minimize the RTTs. The WFQ mechanism manages the incoming heavy traffic to ease the data rate control for smooth data flow to improve throughput. The simulation evaluation of the approach shows an improvisation in throughput with the low delay in different data flow conditions.
Partial nitritation treating nitrogen in old landfill leachate

In this study, a lab-scale Partial Nitritation Sequencing Batch Reactor (PNSBR) was implemented for treating high-ammonium old landfill leachate to yield an appropriate NO2 — N/ NH4 + -N ratio from 1/1 to 1.32/1 mixture as a pretreatment for subsequent Anammox. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal hydraulic retention time (HRT) at different influent ammonia concentrations for 210 days. The experimental results showed that with the influent ammonia concentrations of 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg/L, HRT is 12 h, 21 h, 30 h and 48 h, respectively. The range of free ammonia (FA) concentration from 17 to 44 mg/L completely inhibited nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) for long time operation. The COD removal efficiency was very low (6±2) %.
A Study of Metaphors in the Speech of Persian Language Students Based on a Cognitive Approach

Metaphor is the most important linguistic phenomenon which has been noted by the scientists, philosophers, writers and recent linguists. The purpose of this research is to study the metaphors in the speaking of Persian language students in Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz. To do so, the author has randomly selected fifty Persian speaker students and recorded thirty hours of their speech, presented in three different linguistic contexts. Writing out the linguistic data, 1,000 sentences were collected. Then, the data was analyzed on the base of the theoretical research and 122 metaphorical expressions were extracted. It was found that a significant part of the student's speech is metaphorical, and a variety of conceptual metaphors were seen. The structural metaphor had the highest frequency of occurrence and the orientational metaphor had the lowest frequency. Besides, whenever the linguistic context was formal, using the metaphor in language was less and whenever the linguistic context was informal, using metaphor in language was more. Accordingly, the metaphorical structures were higher in the third linguistic context while they were lower in the second linguistic context.
Ractopamine (Paylean) Response in Heavy-Weight Finishing Pigs

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding diets with 10 ppm of ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC; Paylean 9G, Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, IN) to heavy-weight pigs (final BW of 147 kg). Few studies have addressed the effects of RAC on performance and carcass traits at the finishing BW presented in this study. This study was carried out as a randomized complete block design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments, 1) sex (barrow or gilt) and 2) RAC inclusion (0 or 10 ppm), with a total of 128 pigs. Pigs were randomly assigned to pens of 4 and beginning BW was approximately 115 kg. After 28 d on test, pigs were slaughtered and a subset of pigs, totaling 64 pigs (2 pigs/pen), were selected for carcass characteristics and meat quality analysis. There were no sex × RAC interactions (P > 0.10). Final farm BW was increased (P = 0.003) by 3.3 kg, overall ADG was increased (P = 0.009) by 11.0%, and overall G:F was increased (P < 0.001) by 12.9% with RAC. The HCW was increased (P < 0.001) by 3.9 kg with RAC, and dressing percentage was increased (P = 0.001) to 76.04% from 75.06%. In the subset selected for carcass characteristics (n = 64), there was a trend of increasing (P = 0.08) lean cut yield. Ultimate pH was increased (P < 0.001) by 0.08 units, and drip loss was decreased (P = 0.011) to 4.31% from 5.59% with RAC. Feeding diets with 10 ppm RAC to pigs with ending BW of approximately 147 kg proved efficacious in improving BW, ADG, G:F, HCW, and dressing percentage without adversely affecting meat quality traits.

Iraqi Arabic Verbs: The Need for Rootsand Prosody

It is an old observation that languages with so-called NONCONCATENATIVE TEMPLATIC MORPHOLOGIES (NTM, henceforth) provide a fertile empirical testing ground for theories of morphophonology – prosodic structure is worn on the sleeve in such languages (McCarthy, 1979, 1981; Ussishkin, 2000, 2005). This can be seen in Table 1 where the exemplar root √ ktb is shown in several different derived forms, among them both verbs and nouns, whose patterns of consonants and vowels (known as the TEMPLATE) are suspiciously regular.

Automated Client-side Sanitizer for Code Injection Attacks

Web applications are useful for various online services. These web applications are becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives. They are used for multiple purposes such as e-commerce, financial services, emails, healthcare services and many other captious services. But the presence of vulnerabilities in the web application may become a serious cause for the security of the web application. A web application may contain different types of vulnerabilities. Cross-site scripting is one of the type of code injection attacks. According to OWASP TOP 10 vulnerability report, Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is among top 5 vulnerabilities. So this research work aims to implement an effective solution for the prevention of cross- site scripting vulnerabilities. In this paper, we implemented a novel client-side XSS sanitizer that prevents web applications from XSS attacks. Our sanitizer is able to detect cross-site scripting vulnerabilities at the client-side. It strengthens web browser, because modern web browser do not provide any specific notification, alert or indication of security holes or vulnerabilities and their presence in the web application.
