Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain–computer interface (BCI) of Chinese speller for a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A case report

This study applied a steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) based brain–computer interface (BCI) to a patient in lock-in state with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and validated its feasibility for communication. The developed calibration-free and asynchronous spelling system provided a natural and efficient communication experience for the patient, achieving a maximum free-spelling accuracy above 90% and an information transfer rate of over 22.203 bits/min. A set of standard frequency scanning and task spelling data were also acquired to evaluate the patient’s SSVEP response and to facilitate further personalized BCI design. The results demonstrated that the proposed SSVEP-based BCI system was practical and efficient enough to provide daily life communication for ALS patients.
Altitudinal distribution of Fagaceae in West Sumatra

The altitudinal distribution of Fagaceae in West Sumatra was studied on the basis of herbarium specimens and field tree censuses conducted at Gunung Gadut and Sipisang. Forty-two species were examined (Castanopsis: 8 spp., Quercus: 8 spp., Lithocarpus: 25 spp., and Trigonobalanus verticillata), and it was revealed that altitudinal distribution patterns vary among species and genera. The species richness of Fagaceae in West Sumatra was highest at 400-700 m, decreasing with increasing altitude above 700 m, while about half the total number of species occurred below 400 m. Though the altitudinal distribution patterns of some species were compressed toward a lower altitude in Gunung Gadut, species richness in Gunung Gadut and Sipisang regions were also highest at 400-700 m above sea level (76 % of 33 species were found growing in these regions), and more than half of the species were found at 150-400 m. Quercus showed gradual replacement/overlapping of higher/lower altitudinal species at a range of 700-1100 m, and Lithocarpus showed a remarkably high species richness at 400-700 m in both regions. The altitudinal diversity patterns of Fagaceae appeared to involve both species coexistence/concentration at particular altitudes and species replacement with changing altitudes. The high species richness of Fagaceae at 400-700 m was especially due to the coexistence and concentration of Lithocarpus species.

Enhancement of fire spread modelling using high-resolution remotely sensed data

The thesis provides methods and knowledge to integrate fuel estimations from Landsat Earth Observing satellites into operational fire behaviour forecasts. A new spectral index sensitive to fuel load and structure based on the shortwave infrared radiation is proposed and tested in southern Australian environments, the Vegetation Structure Perpendicular Index (VSPI). Then, the index is used to estimate the stage of recovery of previously burnt forests. The recovery stage is lastly used as a proxy for fire danger in fire propagation simulations.

Nitrogn Use and Biomass Distribution in Culms of Winter Wheat Populations Selected from Grain‐Only and Dual‐Purpose Systems

Beginning in late fall and ending at jointing in early spring, winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crops in the southern Great Plains are often grazed by stocker cattle (Bos taurus L.) and then harvested for grain. Traditionally, dual-purpose (grazing plus grain) wheat cultivars are developed from a grain-only production system. Because culms of dual-purpose grown wheat may forfeit productivity gains for grain-only developed cultivars, we evaluated N and biomass traits at anthesis and maturity for 12 sets of subpopulations (each set a unique genetic background) to test benefits of making selections from a dual-purpose system. Sets came from F 2 sources and contained a "Base" F 3 bulk population and F 5 bulk populations mass selected from the F 2 within grain-only and dual-purpose production systems. The 12 sets of subpopulations were evaluated in grain-only and dual-purpose production systems in 2001-2002 and 2002-2003. At anthesis, main effects (year, system, genetic background, subpopulation selection environment) were significant for culm dry weight and N, and flag leaf dry weight. Among selections, differences for these traits were small (2.0-3.5%) with no difference between grain-only and dual-purpose selections; differences among genetic backgrounds, however, were large (21-30%). At maturity, differences (7.6-20%) for grain dry weight and kernel mass, harvest index (HI), N content, grain N, and N harvest index (NHI) of individual culms occurred among genetic backgrounds. Differences among subpopulations were smaller (1.4-4.5%) and significant for only culm and grain dry weight, kernel number and mass, and culm N content. Selections made from the dual-purpose environment performed similar to those from the grain-only environment when grown in either production system.
Influences of climate on the radial growth of lodgepole pine in Alberta

We examined a network of 17 lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm.) sites in Alberta in the cordilleran forests along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and in western Cypress Hills, using a dendrochronological approach to identify the principal climatic factors that have influenced the historical, regional-scale pattern of radial growth of lodgepole pine. Correlation and regression analysis of the regional growth-climate relationships showed that radial growth was negatively associated with late-summer temperatures, and positively related to the late- summer precipitation totals from the previous growth season. Radial growth also responded positively to winter and spring temperatures, and was negatively related to late winter-early spring precipitation. The results suggested that the lag in re- sponse to heat and moisture stress, cold and snowy winters, and the length of the current growing season are important de- terminants of the radial growth of lodgepole pine in Alberta.

Interferência do arroz vermelho no rendimento de engenho de cultivares de arroz irrigado

Red rice is considered the weed that cause the most significam damage to rice fields in the State of Rio Grande does Soul, Brazil. The presence of red rice grains associated with the grains of the commercial rice cultivars contribute to reduce the physical quality of the rice because reduce the milling yield and increase the number of grains chalky and with white pearly. This experiment was developed with the purpose of determining the effect of different quantities of retrace in the sample on the milling yield of three cultivars of irrigated rice with grains fine long class. The treatments consisted of different proportions in the samples (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of grains red rice and grains of the rice cultivars BR-JRGA 410, IRGA 416 and IRGA 417. As the quantity of grains of red rice increased in the sample in the milling process, the whole grain yield and total milling yield decreased linearly, white the yield of broken grains increased linear fly for all cultivars.
Parasitoid-host interaction: sensory structures involved in the parasitism behavior of Bracon vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Parasitoids have evolved mechanisms to evade their hosts’ defenses. Bracon vulgaris (Ashmead) is a larval ectoparasitoid responsible for natural reduction of Anthonomus grandis (Boheman) and Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), which are considered the main cotton pests in the cotton agro-ecosystem in northeastern Brazil. This study aimed to analyze the sensory structures (antennae and ovipositor) involved in the parasitism behavior of B. vulgaris, and to describe and evaluate associations between composition, morphology, and functions of these structures in the parasitoid-host interaction. Results showed that the B. vulgaris ovipositor is a multifunctional structure of 2.7 ± 0.3 mm in length composed of 3 valves. Valves 1 and 2 are elongated, rigid, and act jointly to pierce the host’s cuticle, to inject the poison glands secretion, and to deposit eggs. Valve 3 covers the other valves, giving them protection. Valve 3 also presents annulations in all its extension, which gives flexibility to the ovipositor, and trichoid sensilla that possibly capture vibrations from the host’s feeding and locomotion, thereby aiding the parasite in the host selection. The presence of cuticular microtrichia was possibly responsible for the cleaning of the ovipositor, keeping it functional between the various insertions that occur during the parasitism behavior. The parasitoid’s antennae are filliform-like, measure about 2 mm, and are composed of four types of sensilla (trichoids, basiconical, coeloconical, and placodes) that act as olfactory and gustatory receptors and/or express tactile, thermo,- and hygroreception functions. The integrated action of these sensory components corroborates the successful parasitism behavior of the parasitoid B. vulgaris.
Healthcare Research and Analytics Data Infrastructure Solution: A Data Warehouse for Health Services Research.

BACKGROUND Health services researchers spend a substantial amount of time performing integration, cleansing, interpretation, and aggregation of raw data from multiple public or private data sources. Often, each researcher (or someone in their team) duplicates this effort for their own project, facing the same challenges and experiencing the same pitfalls discovered by those before them. OBJECTIVE This paper described a design process for creating a data warehouse that includes the most frequently used databases in health services research. METHODS The design is based on a conceptual iterative process model framework that utilizes the sociotechnical systems theory approach and includes the capacity for subsequent updates of the existing data sources and the addition of new ones. We introduce the theory and the framework and then explain how they are used to inform the methodology of this study. RESULTS The application of the iterative process model to the design research process of problem identification and solution design for the Healthcare Research and Analytics Data Infrastructure Solution (HRADIS) is described. Each phase of the iterative model produced end products to inform the implementation of HRADIS. The analysis phase produced the problem statement and requirements documents. The projection phase produced a list of tasks and goals for the ideal system. Finally, the synthesis phase provided the process for a plan to implement HRADIS. HRADIS structures and integrates data dictionaries provided by the data sources, allowing the creation of dimensions and measures for a multidimensional business intelligence system. We discuss how HRADIS is complemented with a set of data mining, analytics, and visualization tools to enable researchers to more efficiently apply multiple methods to a given research project. HRADIS also includes a built-in security and account management framework for data governance purposes to ensure customized authorization depending on user roles and parts of the data the roles are authorized to access. CONCLUSIONS To address existing inefficiencies during the obtaining, extracting, preprocessing, cleansing, and filtering stages of data processing in health services research, we envision HRADIS as a full-service data warehouse integrating frequently used data sources, processes, and methods along with a variety of data analytics and visualization tools. This paper presents the application of the iterative process model to build such a solution. It also includes a discussion on several prominent issues, lessons learned, reflections and recommendations, and future considerations, as this model was applied.

A Hybrid Model of Clustering and Neural Network Using Weather Conditions for Energy Management in Buildings

For the conservation of energy in buildings, it is essential to understand the energy consumption pattern and make efforts based on the analyzed result for energy load reduction. In this research, we proposed a method for forecasting the electricity load of university buildings using a hybrid model of clustering technique and neural network using weather conditions. The novel approach discussed in this paper includes clustering one whole year data including the forecasting day using K-means clustering and using the result as an input parameter in a neural network for forecasting the electricity peak load of university buildings. The hybrid model has proved to increase the performance of forecasting rather than neural network alone. We also developed a graphical visualization platform for the analyzed result using an interactive web application called Shiny. Using Shiny application and forecasting electricity peak load with appreciable accuracy several hours before peak hours can aware the management authorities about the energy situation and provides sufficient time for making a strategy for peak load reduction. This method can also be implemented in the demand response for reducing the electricity bills by avoiding electricity usage during the high electricity rate hours.
Energia elétrica e diplomacia: relações Brasil-EUA no setor elétrico brasileiro, 1945-54

A compreensao do setor eletrico no Brasil em meados do seculo XX deve ser alcancada mediante a analise de suas relacoes diplomaticas. Em 1945, com o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, a geracao e a distribuicao da energia eletrica no Brasil estavam nas maos de dois grupos privados internacionais, da empresa canadense Light e da norte-americana American & Foreign Company (Amforp), enquanto o governo ainda mantinha um papel muito limitado de atuacao direta no setor. Dependendo de financiamento para novos projetos, no intuito de atender a demanda crescente de energia numa economia em processo acelerado de industrializacao e urbanizacao, os governos de Eurico Gaspar Dutra (1946-50) e Getulio Vargas (1951-54) travaram importantes negociacoes, nao somente com as empresas eletricas, mas inclusive com instituicoes internacionais e o governo dos EUA. Eram negociacoes que exigiam definicao de qual seria o papel das empresas privadas estrangeiras na economia brasileira, qual o volume de financiamento necessario para a crescente demanda de energia e, finalmente, qual o grau de cooperacao tecnica entre paises para capacitar esses novos projetos. Num ambiente em que grupos nacionalistas questionavam a qualidade e os custos dos servicos dessas empresas estrangeiras, o governo brasileiro precisava estabelecer o dialogo entre empresas, sociedade e interesses estrangeiros. Em suma, o presente artigo pretende demostrar como a negociacao diplomatica tornou-se espaco decisivo tanto para a definicao da estrategia das empresas eletricas, como para a construcao do projeto de desenvolvimento do governo brasileiro.
350 EFFECT OF PROGESTERONE SUPPLEMENTATION OF MATURATION MEDIUM ON DEVELOPMENT OF IVM-IVF-IVC BOVINE EMBRYOS

Follicular fluid from small and large bovine follicles contains large amounts of progesterone, and during preovulatory period progesterone concen- tration increase markedly by 18 h after LH surge. Furthermore, cumulus cells express membrane progestin receptor beta (Liu et al. 2008 Steroids 73, 1416-1423). For these reasons, we hypothesized that progesterone supports maturation of preovulatory bovine oocytes to MII stage. The object of this study was to investigate the effect of progesterone supplementation of in vitro maturation medium on competence of bovine oocyte to develop into blas- tocysts in vitro. COCs were collected by the aspiration of 2-6 mm follicles from ovaries within 6 h of slaughter. The COCs were divided into 5 groups: (1) a control group, TCM-199 supplemented with 5% calf serum (CS) as IVM medium, and (2 to 5) progesterone (P4) supplementation groups, TCM- 199 supplemented with 5% CS and 1, 3, 5, and 10 μg mL-1 of P4. Groups of 10 COCs were incubated in 50-μL drops of IVM media at 38.5°C under an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air for 20 h. The matured COCs were inseminated with 3 × 106 sperm mL-1. After 18 h of gamete co-culture, the pre- sumptive zygotes were cultured in CR1aa media supplemented with 5% CS for 9 days at 38.5°C under an atmosphere of 5% CO2, 5%O2, and 90% N2. Embryonic development was evaluated at 48 h after IVF (total cleavage rates) and on Days 7 to 9 (blastocyst rate). Data was analyzedby chi-square test. The results are presented in Table 1. There were no significant differences in the cleavage rates between treatments. However, the blastocyst formation rate of 5 μg mL-1 P4 supplementation group was significantly higher than that of 10 μg mL-1 P4 supplementation group (P < 0.05). In addition, the blastocyst formation rates of 10 μg mL-1 P4 supplementation group was lower than the other groups. These results suggest that progesterone supple- mentation of in vitro, maturation medium affects the competence of the oocytes to develop into blastocysts in vitro, and 5 μg mL-1 P4 supplementation may be effective in increasing embryo production. Furthermore, 10 μg mL-1 P4 supplementation has negative effect on the oocyte competence. Table 1.Effect of progesterone supplementation on development of IVF bovine embryos
