Machine Learning Findings on Geospatial Data of Users from the TrackYourStress mHealth Crowdsensing Platform

Mobile apps are increasingly utilized to gather data for various healthcare aspects. Furthermore, mobile apps are used to administer interventions (e.g., breathing exercises) to individuals. In this context, mobile crowdsensing constitutes a technology, which is used to gather valuable medical data based on the power of the crowd and the offered computational capabilities of mobile devices. Notably, collecting data with mobile crowdsensing solutions has several advantages compared to traditional assessment methods when gathering data over time. For example, data is gathered with high ecological validity, since smartphones can be unobtrusively used in everyday life. Existing approaches have shown that based on these advantages new medical insights, for example, for the tinnitus disease, can be revealed. In the work at hand, data of a developed mHealth crowdsensing platform that assesses the stress level and fluctuations of the platform users in daily life was investigated. More specifically, data of 1797 daily measurements on GPS and stress-related data in 77 users were analyzed. Using this data source, machine learning algorithms have been applied with the goal to predict stress-related parameters based on the GPS data of the platform users. Results show that predictions become possible that (1) enable meaningful interpretations as well as (2) indicate the directions for further investigations. In essence, the findings revealed first insights into the stress situation of individuals over time in order to improve their quality of life. Altogether, the work at hand shows that mobile crowdsensing can be valuably utilized in the context of stress on one hand. On the other, machine learning algorithms are able to utilize geospatial data of stress measurements that was gathered by a crowdsensing platform with the goal to improve the quality of life of its participating crowd users.
MIKROâIPOVÁ ANAL ̄ZA GENOVÉ EXPRESE V MIKRODISEKOVAN ̄CH VZORCÍCH MICROARRAY ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSIONM IN MICRODISSECTED SAMPLES

The DNA microarray is a powerful, high throughput technique for assessing gene expression on a systemwide genomic scale. Most expression profiling studies of solid tumors have used biopsy samples containing large numbers of contaminating stromal and other cell types, thereby complicating any precise delineation of gene expression in nontumor versus tumor cell types. Combining microdissection, RNA amplification protocols, microarray technologies and our knowledge of the human genome sequence, it is possible to isolate pure populations of cells or even a single cell and interrogate the expression of thousands of sequences for the purpose of more precisely defining the biology of the tumor cell. In this short overview, we provide informations on selected problems which we had to solve during our microarray analysis of microdissected normal and tumour cells of mammary gland. We provide our optimized procedure as well. The whole project consisted of the long-term collection of snap-frozen tissues, optimalization of staining of cryosections for laser capture microdissection, isolation and amplification of RNA, hybridization onto chips, data analysis and finally verification of the results by immunohistochemistry. Our work is currently reviewed by an international journal and we can’t provide detailed information on particular achievements yet.
J ul 2 01 9 Faraday patterns generated by Rabi oscillation in a binary Bose-Einstein condensate

The interaction between atoms in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is effectively modulated by the Rabi oscillation. This periodic modulation of the effective interaction is shown to generate Faraday patterns through parametric resonance. We show that there are multiple resonances arising from the density and spin waves in a two-component BEC, and investigate the interplay between the Faraday-pattern formation and the phase separation.
Complex Numeral Expressions : A Plea for Grafts ° Andr

Grafting is a syntactic device developed and defended by van Riemsdijk (2000 and subsequent work) by which two independent input trees are connected via external remerger of internal elements, thus sharing a constituent. Grafting clearly violates standard assumptions about phrase structure. Still, several structures found in natural language are best analyzed in terms of grafting. The present paper discusses one such construction: complex numerals. It shows that the characteristic multidominance of grafting explains the word order, case assignment, plural, paucal, and singular distribution associated with complex numeral combinations better than a coordination approach and is more compatible with more number (or counting) systems found in the world’s languages.
Antipyretic Activity of Orally Administered Extract s of Newbouldia laevis ( Bignonaceae ) in Mice

Purpose: Several plant species are used in the management and treatment of pyrexia. In this study, the antipyretic activity of extracts of Newbouldia laevis leaves was investigated on normal body temperature and baker’s yeast induced pyrexia in mice. Methods: The crude leaves were extracted with water, ethyl acetate and hexane. Pyrexia was induce d with baker’s yeast at a dose of 10 ml/kg of 30% w/v and the extracts were orally administered to groups of mice at 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg while 0.9% NaCl and paracetamol (20 mg/kg) were also administered and served as controls. The effect of the extracts on normal body temperature was assessed. Results: Unlike the hexane extract, the aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts displayed significant antipy retic properties at all doses employed (p<0.05) but no significant effect on normal body temperature of th e mice was observed similar to the effect of paracetamol. Conclusion: Extract of the leaves of N. laevis exert antipyretic effects and these results support claim s by traditional medicine healers for its use in fever reduction.

CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY

In modern times, there is an increasing demand for threedimensional (3-D) optical microscopy (1,2). The main reason lies in the fact that optical microscopy is still unique in its ability to allow the complete three-dimensional examination of biological structures in a hydrated state under experimental conditions that allow the preservation of living or physiological states, also when compared with other high-resolution techniques (3). This fact coupled with the advent of fluorescence labeling permits the study of the complex and delicate relationships existing between structure and function in biological systems. One relevant step, in terms of progress in 3-D optical microscopy, was the invention of the confocal microscope in its different solutions (4). Minsky, in 1957, invented a confocal microscope identical with the concept later developed extensively by Egger and Davidovits at Yale, by Sheppard and Wilson at Oxford, and by Brakenhoff et al. in Amsterdam (5). It was in the mid-1970s, with the advent of affordable computers and lasers, and the development of digital image processing software, that the first confocal laser scanning microscopes became available in several laboratories and applied to biological and material specimens (6–9).
Physicochemical and Microbial Changes of Some Freshwater Fishes during Ice Storage Course Title : Seminar Course Code : FIT 598 Term : Summer , 2018 SUBMITTED TO : Course Instructors 1

The study was designed to investigate the effect of low temperature preservation on the physicochemical and microbial profile of some fresh water fish muscle stored in ice for several days. The proximate composition and microbiological analyses were examined at different time interval on muscle of freshwater fishes like Catla (Gibelion catla), Rui (Labeo rohita) and Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) during storage. According to physical characteristic analysis Catla, Rui and Common carp were acceptable for 10 days, 14 days and 12 days, respectively. On the basis of chemical composition analysis, those species are excellent in quality up to 10 days. The microbial count increased gradually during the period of storage. The coliform count also followed the same trend during the storage. Thus, a significant quality loss was observed in fish during ice storage. However, the present iced conditions retained the fish under acceptable microbial conditions for human consumption up to 10 th to 15 th day beyond which it became unfit for human consumption. The storage time can be increased by proper icing and maintaining proper ration of ice and fish.

Talduair, 50°09’35”N, 089°23’53”E, alt. 2,300 m showed commonly the resting nucleus of the complex chromocenter type, the prophase chromosomes of the interstitial type, the chromosome number of 2n=18, and the typical diploid karyotype with 14 medianor submedian-centromeric chromosomes (of which two had satellites) and four subterminal-centromeric chromosomes (of which 1-3 had satellites). Those chromosome characters were same as those of the diploid species previously described.
Bayesian approach to reliability modelling for a probability of failure on demand parameter

The testing of safety-critical software systems yields often a small amount of errors. The reliability analysis is therefore subject to restrictions, e.g. because of high variances. The use of Bayesian statistics incorporates additional data into the reliability analysis to overcome these restrictions. A model is developed that can be used for an analysis of software with low demand mode. The model is discussed and evaluated. Key-Words: software reliability, bayesian reliability, reliability model, static analysis, PFD
Applications of Mathematics

We consider a class of Volterra-type integral equations in a Hilbert space. The operators of the equation considered appear as time-dependent functions with values in the space of linear continuous operators mapping the Hilbert space into its dual. We are looking for maximal values of cost functionals with respect to the admissible set of operators. The existence of a solution in the continuous and the discretized form is verified. The convergence analysis is performed. The results are applied to a quasistationary problem for an anisotropic viscoelastic body made of a long memory material.
FOR EVALUATiON OF FOREST ECOSySTEM SERVICES IN RIPARIAN BUFFER STRIPS

In the research evaluation of the ecosystem services provided by riparian forests in Latvia has been studied. The aim of this research is to investigate the methods and indicators for assessing the value of ecosystem services of riparian forests and to establish the most appropriate methods of ecosystem service valuation in the case of Latvia. The study is based on analysis of scientific publications, special literature and reports of international organizations, studying results of previously performed qualitative and quantitative research methods in the field of ecosystem service evaluation. The results of this study revealed several methods that could be applied for evaluation of ecosystem services provided by riparian forests, taking into account that the set of available data may be limited and considering the costs and span of time that may be necessary to collect the missing data. The results also show that the majority of ecosystem service evaluation indicators can be applied if appropriate earlier studies have been performed and feasible data for similar territories or conditions are available. The knowledge of the methods and indicators for evaluation of ecosystem services is a crucial factor in the decision making process, when decisions on economic development or sustainable management of ecosystem services are made.
Colorectal tubular adenoma bleeding in patients with decompensated cirrhosis-a case report

Background: Esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) is one of the most common complications in patients with decompensated cirrhosis andthere is rare of patients with decompensated cirrhosis complicated with intestinal bleeding of benign tumor, which is prone to misdiagnosis. Case presentation: A 65-year old male with a history of hepatitis B decompensated cirrhosis with EVB was admitted due to repeated haematemesis more than 1 years and blood in the stool for 4 hours. The patient was underwent endoscopic variceal ligation and was discharged with regular medication (propranolol 10 mg, 2 times/day; entecavir 0.5 mg, 1 time/day; esomeprazole 20 mg, 2 times/day), and 6 preventive treatments of esophageal variceal ligation in previous hospitalization. Emergency gastroscopy after hemostasis, fluid replacement treatment in our hospital showed that esophageal mild varicose veins without the red sign and thrombosis. Esophagus, stomach, duodenum showed no bloody fluid. Colonoscopy after saline enema showed, 45 cm from the anus, a large amount of yellow stool retention mixed with dark red bloody fluid. Sigmoid colon tumor (size 6×10 mm) was seen with surface blood scab formation, which was verified as tubular adenoma by using pathological biopsy. The tumor was treated by sigmoid colon tumor root ligation. Postoperative colonoscopy showed no active bleeding after ligation of sigmoid colon tumor and the HGB up to 110 g/L. Colonoscopy review showed that there was no residual tumor in sigmoid colon and no obvious abnormality in the terminal ileum and large intestine mucosa. Conclusion: In this case, through clinical observation and analysis, EVB was excluded by gastroscopy and lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to sigmoid colon tumor was diagnosed by colonoscopy. The patient achieved excellent therapeutic effect because of positive endoscopic treatment of suspicious lesions.
Gr upSM Aging-Related Circadian Disruption and Its Correction

A gradual loss of synchrony between the factors modulating amplitude and phase of overt rhythms (physiological, biochemical processes, behavioral responses, etc.) occurs with age. These factors are of both central and peripheral origin and include molecular/genetic, tissue/organ and systemic links. The most typical manifestations are dampened amplitude and unstable phases of the circadian rhythms. Thereby aging per se leads to the circadian disruption and the loss of robustness in the circadian system. Dysfunction of the circadian system, in turn, accelerates the process of aging, initiating a vicious circle that affects health, fitness and causes sleep disturbances. Herein we discuss in brief the possible mechanisms and consequences of age-dependent circadian disruption, but also the ways to counteract such consequences: melatonin supplementation at night, bright blue light at daytime, optimal physical activity, maintenance of social contacts and regular feeding schedules.

Ca ff eine Consumption through Co ff ee : Content in the Beverage , Metabolism , Health Benefits and Risks

Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is the most consumed psychoactive substance in the world, acting by means of antagonism to adenosine receptors, mainly A1 and A2A. Coffee is the main natural source of the alkaloid which is quite soluble and well extracted during the brew’s preparation. After consumption, caffeine is almost completely absorbed and extensively metabolized in the liver by phase I (cytochrome P450) enzymes, mainly CYP1A2, which appears to be polymorphically distributed in human populations. Paraxanthine is the major caffeine metabolite in plasma, while methylated xanthines and methyluric acids are the main metabolites excreted in urine. In addition to stimulating the central nervous system, caffeine exerts positive effects in the body, often in association with other substances, contributing to prevention of several chronic diseases. The potential adverse effects of caffeine have also been extensively studied in animal species and in humans. These aspects will be approached in the present review.
THE ACTION OF SOME INFLUENTIAL FACTORS ON THE NUTRITIVE COMPOSITION OF THE CORN SILAGE

The pourpose of the research was to show the influence of the ensilage on the chemical composition of corn silo. The material studied was corn silage from different silos respectively: SA silage covered with waterproof foil, has been introduced corn in phase of wax maturity and SN uncovered silage (covered with 20 cm of chopped straw) has been introduced corn in similar phase of maturity. Samples were collected from the surface of the silo (50 cm deep) CS1 and SN1, the laterally sides of the silo (70 cm from side walls) US2 and CS2, and from the centre of the silo US2 and US3. Following the calculations performed on samples collected from the silo were observed appreciable differentiations in terms of the DM (CS1 328.3 g/kg gross SN1 262 g/kg gross) and Ash (CS1 48 g /kg DM, SN1 -90.1 g/kg DM). CS2 and US2 content of samples varied for DM (CS2 244 g/kg gross, US2 319.8 g/kg gross), CP (CS2 72.3 g/kg DM, US2 96.3 g/kg DM ) and CF (CS2 254.2 g/kg DM, US2 228.9 g/kg DM). Tests on samples US2 and US3 showed a relative consistency in chemical composition compared with other samples. Chemical composition of studied silos were influenced by several factors as stage of growth at harvesting, silage technology, climatic conditions, factors that led to a decrease of quality of the pickled fodder studied.
Genotypic heat tolerance in lentil

Heat waves (temperatures > 35°C) during flowering and pod-filling of lentil can result in significant reductions in seed yield, quality and profitability. Preliminary research for improving adaptation of lentil to heat stress has found potential genetic variation in tolerance within lentil genotypes during the reproductive phase. A field study during the 2014-15 summer in southern Australia investigated the genotypic variation for heat tolerance of 50 lentil genotypes. Late sown crops were grown under unshaded (heat treatment) and shaded (control) conditions through the reproductive phase and irrigated to avoid moisture stress. Seed yield response to heat treatments ranged from -100% to -20% relative to controls (shade) with a significant interaction between heat treatment and genotype. Several genotypes were more tolerant to heat stress compared to the commercial varieties these being 72578 (India), 70549 (Argentina), 71457 (Jordan) and 73838 (Albania) with yields 65%, 72%, 75% and 80% of the controls respectively. These genotypes had improved heat tolerance compared with current commercial varieties and also had equivalent absolute yields. The impact of heat stress was primarily a reduction in seed number, which was reduced by 50% for commercial cultivars compared to 18% for landraces identified to have improved heat tolerance. Further controlled experimentation of these genotypes is required to validate their genetic potential. The identification of potentially tolerant genotypes to heat stress indicates there is an opportunity to utilize genetic differences to high temperatures during the reproductive phase of lentil, thereby improving their adaptation to heat waves.

Development of a Classification Framework on Ecotourism Initiatives in the Philippines

Ecotourism’s promise o f sustained environmental, social and economic gains makes it the preferred type of development for many interest groups. However, the diversity of so-called “ecotourism initiatives” in the country has raised questions about whether each project truly embodies the principles of sustainability, environmental sensitivity and respect for local peoples and cultures. This paper looks into the current status of ecotourism initiatives in the Philippines and suggests a classification scheme or framework to be followed and adopted by the industry. Building on concepts first proposed by Acott, LaTrobe and Howard (1998) as well as Weaver (2001), the paper defines ecotourism as having three basic elements: a focus on the natural or cultural environment, an emphasis on learning, and a commitment to sustainability. The resulting framework describes ecotourism programs in terms of market scope (mass vs. niche) and intensity of tourist-environment interaction (active vs. passive). Small case studies of Philippine ecotourism offerings are used to illustrate the classification scheme. Implications for policy and for future research are then suggested.
Multi-User Multi-Task Computation Offloading in Green Mobile Edge Cloud Computing

Mobile Edge Cloud Computing (MECC) has becoming an attractive solution for augmenting the computing and storage capacity of Mobile Devices (MDs) by exploiting the available resources at the network edge. In this work, we consider computation offloading at the mobile edge cloud that is composed of a set of Wireless Devices (WDs), and each WD has an energy harvesting equipment to collect renewable energy from the environment. Moreover, multiple MDs intend to offload their tasks to the mobile edge cloud simultaneously. We first formulate the multi-user multi-task computation offloading problem for green MECC, and use Lyaponuv Optimization Approach to determine the energy harvesting policy: how much energy to be harvested at each WD; and the task offloading schedule: the set of computation offloading requests to be admitted into the mobile edge cloud, the set of WDs assigned to each admitted offloading request, and how much workload to be processed at the assigned WDs. We then prove that the task offloading scheduling problem is NP-hard, and introduce centralized and distributed Greedy Maximal Scheduling algorithms to resolve the problem efficiently. Performance bounds of the proposed schemes are also discussed. Extensive evaluations are conducted to test the performance of the proposed algorithms.
Evaluation of A-Amylase and A-Glucosidase Inhibitory Effects of Bioactive Compounds of Coccinia grandis ( L . ) Voigt Leaves

The present study was conducted to determine the inhibitory potential of bioactive phytochemicals against key enzymes related to type 2 diabetes. The inhibitory potential of bioactive compounds (flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanins, total phenols) against the enzymes was determined by using A-amylase and A-glucosidase inhibition assays. The bioactive phytochemicals showed significant inhibitory activity on the amylase and glucosidase, thus suggesting that the phytochemicals might be useful in the treatment to limit dietary fat and glucose absorption and the accumulation of fat in adipose tissue.
