Authors’ response to editor’s and referees’ comments on hess-2019-57 MULTI-DECADAL HYDROLOGIC CHANGE AND VARIABILITY IN THE AMAZON RIVER BASIN: UNDERSTANDING TERRESTRIAL WATER STORAGE VARIATIONS AND DROUGHT CHARACTERISTICS REVIEWER 1 COMMENTS

We investigate the interannual and interdecadal hydrological changes in the Amazon River basin and its sub-basins during 1980-2015 period using GRACE satellite data and a physically-based, 2-km grid continental-scale hydrological model 10 (Leaf-Hydro-Flood) that includes a prognostic groundwater scheme and accounts for the effects of land use land cover (LULC) change. The analyses focus on the dominant mechanisms that modulate terrestrial water storage (TWS) variations and droughts. We find that (1) the model simulates the basin-averaged TWS variations remarkably well, however, disagreements are observed in spatial patterns of temporal trends, especially for the post-2008 period, (2) the 2010s is the driest period since 1980, characterized by a major shift in decadal mean compared to 2000s caused by increased drought frequency, (3) long-term 15 trends in TWS suggests that the Amazon overall is getting wetter (1.13 mm/yr), but its southern and southeastern sub-basins are undergoing significant negative TWS changes, caused primarily by intensified LULC changes, (4) increasing divergence between dry season total water deficit and TWS release suggest a strengthening dry season, especially in the southern and southeastern sub-basins, and (5) the sub-surface storage regulates the propagation of meteorological droughts into hydrological droughts by strongly modulating TWS release with respect to its storage preceding the drought condition. Our simulations 20 provide crucial insight on the importance of sub-surface storage in alleviating surface water deficit across Amazon and open pathways for improving prediction and mitigation of extreme droughts under changing climate and increasing hydrologic alterations due to human activities (e.g., LULC change).
GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF EGGPLANT AS AFFECTED BY PINK PIGMENTED FACULTATIVE METHYLOTROPHIC BACTERIA [ 56 ]

The present study was suggested as an attempt to investigate the effects of Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophic Bacteria (PPFM) dipping and foliar spray on vegetative growth and yield of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). Field experiments were carried out during the summer seasons of 2014 and 2015 at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University. The vegetative growth of eggplant responded positively to dipping seedlings in PPFM which gave the highest values of growth parameters, i.e. number of leaves per plant, leaf area, nitrogen & potassium concentration in leaf and total protein in fruit, in the two seasons as compared with control (dipping in water). The application of PPFM as foliar spray, increased significantly plant growth (plant length, leaf number, potassium concentration in leaf, vitamin "C" in fruit and total yield per plant) in the two seasons as compared with the other studied foliar application treatments. The interaction between dipping seedlings in PPFM and PPFM foliar spray with all concentrations gave synergistic effects on growth parameters and yield components of eggplant, during the two growing seasons as compared with either individual foliar application or control plants.
A comparative study on different segmentation and classi ication methods for the diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease

Alzheimer Disease (AD) is one of the brain disorders which progressively expand over the years. It gradually harms the reasoning ability and memory of the affected person. Earlier identi ication can keep away the severity of the disease and can advance the feature of life. Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis using image processing is an important but challenging problem aroundmedical science since image processing made hard by noise, low contrast and other imaging ambiguities. There are many methods that exist in medical image analysis, which includes preprocessing, feature extraction, image segmentation and classi ication. Although severalmodels have beenwidely used, there is a need to implement a system with more accuracy. A comparative analysis for the segmentation which comprises FCM and K-means clustering methods and classi ication of AD using SVM and CNN performed. These methods are used for segmentation and classi ication, which calculates the accuracy and consolidates their advantages. Finally analyzing ef icient for the diagnosis of AD.
Family Medicine’s academic contributions. Family Medicine Research Days, İzmir, Turkey

Summary In this paper which is mainly based on my speech in the Family Medicine Research Days, ‹zmir, Turkey, in November, 2012, I have tried to place family medicine in the wider landscape of academic medicine and provide some sense of how it has grown in its own right as an academic discipline with unique contributions to provide. In order to understand the unique contributions of Family Medicine, I have first explained two concepts that will help to build a framework to understand where we fit into the larger academy of medicine. Following that I have presented some further details of the specific contributions of academic Family Medicine and concluded with what I see as some key challenges ahead. As an academic discipline, it has established a firm foundation over the past 40 years. Ozet Esas olarak Kas›m 2012'de ‹zmir, Turkiye'de gerceklefltirilen Aile He
Induced Muscle Fiber Regeneration In Permanent Skeletal Muscle Denervation: Implication For Functional Electrical Stimulation Of Denervated Degenerated Muscles In Spinal Cord Injury

The differentiation of muscle fibers regenerating in the absence of the nerve is well documented in animal experiments and in muscle biopsies harvested from human patients suffering with permanent long-term denervation. During the last twenty years, clinical studies have employed long impulse biphasic electrical stimulation as a first step treatment for humans living with long-term denervated muscles subsequent to Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Trophic and functional recovery from severe atrophy/degeneration occurred in long-term Denervated Degenerating Muscles (DDM) treated with two years of h-bFES beginning from 1 and 5 years from SCI but, using the commercial muscle stimulator and the large electrodes now available. On the other hand, the extent of recovery decreases with further years of muscle denervation. This is a fact that has sound foundations on muscle biopsy analyses and on Quantitative Muscle Color Computed Tomography (QMC-CT) of treated muscles. If myogenesis and induced-myogenesis in patients could be modulated during the many months needed to recover tetanic contractility of denervated muscles, the time-span needed to achieve functional recovery of permanent denervated human muscle by h-bFES started in between 1 and 5 years post SCI will be shortened and possibly attainable also when h-bFES will be started later than 6 years from SCI, i.e., in the vast majority of patients in need of them.
CHAPTER 2 Contrarian / Momentum Strategy and Different Segments across Indian Stock Market 2 . 1

Long-term reversal behavior and short-term momentum behavior in stock price are two of the most noticeable and controversial anomalies. Some of behavioral models like Barberis, Shleifer and Vishny (1998, BSV); Daniel, Hirshleifer and Subrahmanyam (1998, DHS) and Hong and Stein (1999) attempted to explain these two phenomena in terms of investors‘ psychological biases. That is, they are part of new branch of theoretical finance referred to as behavioral finance.
PERCEPTION OF ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS OF PREPARERS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON RECOGNITION OF CONTINGENT LIABILITY IN NIGERIA

Even though, International Accounting Standards 37 (IAS 37) emphasises the need for the recognition of contingent liability during preparation of financial statements, accountants are sceptical when applying the standards. This may be due to the fact that it reduces the reported income of an entity. Using vignette experimental questionnaire this paper explored the perception of 188 senior Accountants in Nigeria on whether they should recognise contingent liability in their financial statements. Responses were gathered and analysed using Kruskal-Wallis non parametric test. The findings showed no significant difference between the groups of respondents in respect of recognition contingent liability. That is greater percentage of respondents in each group similarly avoid to recognise contingent liability in their financial statements. The paper recommends that preparers of financial statements should improve their accounting judgement for proper application of IAS 37 and preparation of quality financial statements. Similarly, company's management should on its own part improve the judgment capacity of their accountants for the production of reliable and comparable financial statements.
Global patterns in anuran–prey networks: structure mediated by latitude

Life on Earth is supported by an infinite number of interactions among organisms. Species interactions in these networks are influenced by latitude, evolutionary history and species traits. We performed a global-scale literature analysis to build up a database of interactions between anuran communities and their preys, from a wide range of geographical areas, using a network approach. For this purpose, we compiled a total of 55 weighted anuran–prey interaction networks, 39 located in the tropics and 16 in temperate areas. We tested the influence of latitude, as well as anuran taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic richness on network metrics. We found that anuran–prey networks are not nested, exhibit low complementary specialization and modularity and high connectance when compared to other types of networks. The main effects on network metrics were related to latitude, followed by anuran taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic richness, a pattern similar to the emerging in mutualistic networks. Our study is the first integrated analysis of the structural patterns in anuran–prey antagonistic interaction networks in different parts of the world. We suggest that different processes, mediated mainly by latitude, are modeling the architecture of anuran–prey networks across the globe.
EFFECT OF COLLABORATIVE CONCEPT MAPPING TEACHING STRATEGY ON STUDENTS ’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS MATHEMATICS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KENYA

Conceptual understanding and attitudes have emerged in recent discoveries as the critical factors contributing to the continued inertia in performance in the subject. This study sought to establish the effect of Collaborative Concept Mapping teaching strategy on secondary school students’ development of affective domain. Specifically, the study sought to find out if there was any difference in Students’ attitude toward Mathematics subject when taught using the Collaborative Concept Mapping Teaching Strategy and the Conventional Methods of Instruction. The theoretical framework is based on constructivist theory which views learners as active constructors of meaning from input by processing it through existing cognitive structures and retaining it in the long-term memory. This study used a Quasi-experimental Solomon Four-Fold research design. The sample for the study comprised 161 forms three students and 4 teachers of mathematics from 4 randomly selected sub-county co-educational secondary schools in the 4 sub-counties of Bomet County. The four co-educational schools were randomly assigned into two experimental (E1 & E2) and two control (C1 & C2) groups. Students in the experimental group were taught using Collaborative Concept Mapping (CCM) Teaching Strategy for three weeks while the control group was taught using Conventional Methods of Instruction. Students’ Attitude Towards Mathematics Questionnaire (SATMQ) was used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis which included frequencies, mean, t-test and ANOVA. All the statistical tests were subjected to a test of significance at alpha (α) level of 0.05. The results revealed that there were statistically significant difference attitudes towards mathematics in favour of CCM between students exposed to Collaborative Concept Mapping teaching strategy and those taught using Conventional Method of Instruction. From the findings it can be concluded that the attitude towards mathematics is marked higher when the students are taught using the Collaborative Concept Mapping Teaching Strategy than when the conventional method is employed. Based on the findings, recommendations were made on the need for teachers to integrate Collaborative Concept Mapping Teaching Strategy (CCM) teaching strategy in the mathematics instruction to foster positive attitude in the subject. There is also need for teacher training institutions to incorporate CCM as one of the strategies in mathematics instruction and that the serving teachers can be retooled to enable them to integrate CCM teaching strategy effectively in Mathematics learning. Mathematics curriculum developers need to restructure and integrate CCM among learner-centred strategies in Mathematics education. (
Compilation and analysis of parallel corpora in the extraction of terminology , retrieved for translation teaching purposes

Maria Matsira ABSTRACT Translator training is considered to be a difficult process. The teaching of basic translation theories to translation students, the familiarization with translation strategies, along with the supply of a rudimentary terminology, which will help them to accomplish the task of translation, only go so far in equipping them with the basic skills a translator needs. Corpora (learners’ corpora, LSP corpora, dictionaries corpora) serve a whole range of linguistic activities, including the extraction of terminology for translator training purposes as well as the extraction of translation phraseology which is typical in translated texts. The interest of this paper is mainly focused on the compilation and the analysis of a parallel corpus of popular science texts, i.e. articles appearing in a wide circulation popular science magazine and their translations. The idea is based on the fact that translation teachers use articles of this genre as teaching material, and the goal of this study is to introduce a concrete methodology for extracting terminology for translation teaching purposes, which can be easily understood and then used by both Greek translation teachers and students.

Monnier 2019 ] is a functional language based on a dependently typed calculus , in the tradition of Coq [

Algebraic data types and inductive types like those of the Calculus of Inductive Constructions (CIC) are the bread and butter of statically typed functional programming languages. They conveniently combine in a single package product types, sum types, recursive types, and indexed types. But this also makes them somewhat heavyweight: for example, tuples have to be defined as “degenerate” single constructor inductive types, and extraction of a single field becomes a laborious full case-analysis on the object. We consider this to be unsatisfactory. In this article, we develop an alternative presentation of CIC’s inductive types where the various elements are provided separately, such that inductive types are built on top of tuples and sums rather than the other way around. The resulting language is lower-level yet we show it can be translated to to a predicative version of the Calculus of Inductive Constructions in a type-preserving way. An additional benefit is that it can conveniently give a precise type to the default branch of case statements.

FALL 2014 FROM THE LOCAL , STATE , AND NATIONAL NEWS SCENE VOL . 2 NO . 1 The Vital Role of Behavioral Health : Driving Better Health Outcomes by Integrating Services

B ehavioral and physical healthcare in New York State are going through an unprecedented transformation. Medicaid redesign, implementation of a health benefit exchange, a transition from fee-for -service to managed behavioral healthcare, integration of behavioral health with primary healthcare, implementation of health homes, and a variety of additional innovations and transformations are among the most prominent component parts of that transformation. Critical elements of our healthcare system are being transformed at a dizzying pace and will evolve in ways that significantly impact how services are delivered, the outcomes that are achieved, and the level of consumer satisfaction. Integration of behavioral health with primary care is vital to the success of healthcare reform in New York State.
A constraint-based route search system for smart phone in attraction facilities

It is very difficult for us to find the minimum route to travel in attraction facilities. A searching system for visitors would be useful. Therefore, we constructed a system to find route with the minimum total traveling time. Facility visitors can employ this system on a smart phone. The system is composed of ECLiPSe (ECLiPSe is not a software development environment) and Java Servlet. We concluded that our system is useful and can greatly shorten travel time within the facility.
Estimating the Impacts of Financing Support Policies towards Photovoltaic Market in Indonesia : A Social-Energy-Economy-Environment ( SE 3 ) Model Simulation CAMA Working Paper 2 / 2019 January 2019

This study estimates the impacts of four solar energy policy interventions on the photovoltaic (PV) market potential, government expenditure, economic growth, and the environment. An agent-based model is developed to capture the specific economic and institutional features of developing economies, citing Indonesia as a specific case study. We undertake a novel approach to energy modelling by combining energy system analysis, input-output analysis, life-cycle analysis, and socio-economic analysis to obtain a comprehensive and integrated impact assessment. Our results, after sensitivity analysis, call for abolishing the existing PV grant policy in the Indonesian rural electrification programs. The government, instead, should encourage the PV industry to improve production efficiency and to provide after-sales service. A 100-watt peak (Wp) PV under this policy is affordable for 33.2 percent of rural households without electricity access in 2010. Rural PV market size potentially increases to 82.4 percent with rural financing institutions lending 70 percent of capital cost for five years at 12 percent annual interest rate. Additional 30 percent capital subsidy and 5 percent interest subsidy slightly increase the rural PV market potential to 89.6 percent of PV adopters. However, the subsidies are crucial for creating PV demands by urban households but the most effective policy for promoting PV to urban households is the net metering scheme. Several policy proposals are discussed in response to these findings.
Atmospheric Components of a Commercial Website and the Behavioral Responses of the Cyber-Consumers : Case of an Online Store of Cultural Products

With the development of the Information Technology (IT) and communication, electronic marketing has drawn a wide interest, especially with regard to the evolution that it marked in the field of delivery. This continuous development is urging to adopt new rationale, since the classical approaches of marketing and merchandise delivery have proven to be no longer practical. Within this perspective, the atmosphere and mood in the virtual stores deserve to be evoked by researchers, website designers and commercial managers responsible for virtual stores. Actually, attributing a sensorial personality to the virtual commercial stores, while considering the atmospheric elements as key factors capable of guiding favorably the behavior of the cyber consumers, seems to be a strategy that contributes to knock over the classical model of purchasing behavior of the customer. Thus, the aim of this research is to put into evidence the contribution of the designed mood of the website in accounting for the cyber consumers’ reaction. Hence, the study firstly aims to identify, via a qualitative analysis, the different components of the website atmosphere and secondly, seeks to study the procedure by which those components set an influence on the behavioral responses (timing of the visit and access frequency to the website, etc.) and the emotional reactions (pleasure, satisfaction, dissatisfaction, etc.) of the cyber-customer while browsing the commercial website. To collect data, a lab experiment was set while the customers were browsing a cultural product website.
Enhancing the Q uality of P redictions in P redictive B usiness P rocess M onitoring

The aim of this thesis is to develop and evaluate methods to enhance the quality of predictions for predictive business process monitoring, focusing on the accuracy and stability of predictions. Three different approaches to increase the accuracy and stability of predictions are suggested. Firstly, to improve the accuracy of predictions on minority classes, different resampling techniques are applied to data samples in event logs and the accuracy of the predictions from these resampling techniques are compared, and new metric that considers different weights of activities is developed. Secondly, the stability of predictions of different data distribution-resampling technique pairs is compared. Lastly, the stability of predictions of different case types in event logs is compared, and a new performance metric that considers different case types and provides balanced predictions is suggested. Besides evaluation using publicly available event logs, a case study is also conducted using a real-life event log from a large hospital in South Korea.
