Energy efficient computing by using of software optimization aimed on execution time

Despite of all hardware capabilities, optimization of software always was one of actual tasks. Usually optimization of software was aimed to reduce an execution time. But recent decades it’s possible sometimes also to reduce energy consumption and/or energy efficiency of computing because of enhanced energy saving capabilities. Indeed, if computations are made faster, CPU can suspend unusual computational and control blocks. In case of parallelization which is one of optimization techniques, power consumption can raise in short periods of computations because of using multiple CPUs simultaneously. At once execution time can be decreased dramatically so energy efficiency of computing still increasing. In the paper the authors provide the experiments on small size mini PC Raspberry Pi 3B which show that using of optimization tiling method not only speed up a processing but also increase energy efficiency of computing. For such low power systems this can be useful to increase power on time with a battery power source.
Automatic real-time gait event detection in children using deep neural networks

Annotation of foot-contact and foot-off events is the initial step in post-processing for most quantitative gait analysis workflows. If clean force plate strikes are present, the events can be automatically detected. Otherwise, annotation of gait events is performed manually, since reliable automatic tools are not available. Automatic annotation methods have been proposed for normal gait, but are usually based on heuristics of the coordinates and velocities of motion capture markers placed on the feet. These heuristics do not generalize to pathological gait due to greater variability in kinematics and anatomy of patients, as well as the presence of assistive devices. In this paper, we use a data-driven approach to predict foot-contact and foot-off events from kinematic and marker time series in children with normal and pathological gait. Through analysis of 9092 gait cycle measurements we build a predictive model using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) artificial neural networks. The best-performing model identifies foot-contact and foot-off events with an average error of 10 and 13 milliseconds respectively, outperforming popular heuristic-based approaches. We conclude that the accuracy of our approach is sufficient for most clinical and research applications in the pediatric population. Moreover, the LSTM architecture enables real-time predictions, enabling applications for real-time control of active assistive devices, orthoses, or prostheses. We provide the model, usage examples, and the training code in an open-source package.
Proinflammatory Food Consumption and Chronic Kidney Disease in a Canadian Nationally Representative Sample

AIM: This study compared the consumption of proinflammatory foods, as measured by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores, between those with late stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and individuals without CKD and between men and women with late stage CKD, in a Canadian nationally representative sample. METHOD: The current study used data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey – Cycle 3. RESULTS: T-tests revealed significant differences in the DII scores between individuals without CKD and those with late stage CKD, as well as between men and women with late stage CKD. A linear regression revealed that DII scores predicted eGFR in the general population. In separate regressions, DII scores predicted BMI and high cholesterol, even after controlling for other factors. CONCLUSION: This study contributes to current research on CKD and may lead to dietary prevention strategies.

Impact of Psychological Contract Violations: Stories from Educators

Psychological contracts have been researched for over 50 years and have been used as the basis for studies in business, industry, and education. In this study, the researchers aimed to share the impact of psychological contract violations (PCV) upon individuals in educational institutions. Psychological contract literature is focused primarily on the impact of the breach on employee morale, organizational commitment, and work product. This study adds to the literature by giving voice to educators, allowing them to share their stories and provides a foundation for a more extensive research project later. Using a focus group methodology, the researcher allowed the participants to respond to questions pertaining to psychological contract breaches or violations in writing and then followed by an open-ended question session to give the participants the opportunity to provide additional detail. The educators who took part in the focus groups were asked if they had ever experienced a psychological contract breach related to teaching, service, or research. If they answered yes, they were asked to describe the situation. financial practical implications of psychological contract breaches in the workplace. The meta-analysis of 51 studies included dissertations, book chapters, conference papers, and working papers from international authors. Based upon the Zhao, et al. (2007) study, a psychological contract breach may lead to negative emotions, often resulting in a lower commitment to the organization and increased desire to leave the organization. Referencing Weiss and Cropanzano (1996) and LeDoux (1995), Zhao, et al. (2007) state, “ . that after a negative workplace event, individuals will not develop rational appraisals of the situation immediately. and the importance and relevance of the event to personal goals will determine the intensity of the negative affect” (p. 653). Negative effect can also be defined as stress which is a combination of the feeling of the psychological contract and the physical reaction to that perception (Psychology Today, 2020). Clercq, Azeem, and Haq (2020) discuss the consequences of perceived psychological contract violations which lead to negative outcomes for the victim of a violation. One method to manage stress is to share the feelings with others who are also learning how to overcome the emotional effects of the issue. According to Gillihan (2019), sharing stories of negative events may provide multiple benefits such as providing emotional support, developing a different perspective on the event, diminishing the pain of the event, developing the courage to take control, and making the memory of the event less powerful through making sense of the event. During an academic job interview, which often spans multiple days and includes several stakeholders from the institution who discuss individual experiences related to the future work environment, the interviewee forms expectations of the work environment from the interactions with these stakeholders. Peirce, should not be surprising when an interviewee perceives breaches after beginning a job”

ERRAGMap: Visualization tool

Earthquakes are considered one of the major disastrous situations for any nation. The horrible earthquake may claim hundreds of lives, thousands of injuries and demolishing thousands of houses. When an earthquake hits a nation then number of management bodies (such as: government organizations, non-government organizations (NGOs)) are actively involved in reinstating the damages. Generally, these organizations deal with stats of build and still-to-be build infrastructure (roads, buildings, and houses etc). Currently, this information is presented to the organizations as a raw text in huge amount. Therefore, it becomes difficult to highlight key areas where an immediate start of rehabilitation process is inevitable. In the past, some systems have been developed to present such information in structured form by using some visualization techniques. However, these tools are inadequate because of the following reasons: 1) Most of these tools are about geotechnical conditions of effected area and can provide help to describe seismic hazards 2) Some systems show trends of earthquakes in specific region. 3). None of the systems describe the rehabilitation process in an easily conceivable way. Therefore, this becomes an interesting and challenging research problem to build such a system that can overcome the above mentioned limitations of current techniques and systems. In this research, we present such a system called ERRAGMAP. This geospatial tool discovers and presents deep insight into the data related to rehabilitation of the destroyed houses in the earthquake affected areas. Our contributions in this research are as follows: 1) critical analysis of existing tools of visualization for earthquake rehabilitation systems 2) propose and develop a framework for converting raw data into actionable knowledge, 3) propose, develop and evaluate an innovative visualization technique.
Plastids: The Green Frontiers for Vaccine Production

Infectious diseases pose an increasing risk to health, especially in developing countries. Vaccines are available to either cure or prevent many of these diseases. However, there are certain limitations related to these vaccines, mainly the costs, which make these vaccines mostly unaffordable for people in resource poor countries. These costs are mainly related to production and purification of the products manufactured from fermenter-based systems. Plastid biotechnology has become an attractive platform to produce biopharmaceuticals in large amounts and cost-effectively. This is mainly due to high copy number of plastids DNA in mature chloroplasts, a characteristic particularly important for vaccine production in large amounts. An additional advantage lies in the maternal inheritance of plastids in most plant species, which addresses the regulatory concerns related to transgenic plants. These and many other aspects of plastids will be discussed in the present review, especially those that particularly make these green biofactories an attractive platform for vaccine production. A summary of recent vaccine antigens against different human diseases expressed in plastids will also be presented.

Clinicopathological analysis of metaplastic meningioma: Report of 15 cases in Huashan Hospital. Chin J Cancer Res 2013;25:112‐8. A 33‐year‐old female presented with history of headache for 6 months. There was no history of seizures. Plain and contrast‐enhanced computed tomography showed a large extraaxial completely ossified lesion with lobulated margins in the left frontal region with extension across the diploic space, into overlying scalp [Figure 1 and Video 1]. There was no enhancing soft tissue component. There was no perilesional edema. Craniotomy and near total excision of the tumor were done. Histopathological examination revealed metaplastic meningioma of ossific subtype. Meningiomas, the most common benign intracranial tumors, arise from arachnoid cap cells. They are also the most common nonglial primary tumor and most common extraaxial neoplasm. Meningiomas classically appear as hyperdense homogeneously enhancing mass. Calcification seen in 20%–27% of meningiomas is usually punctuate but may be large. [1] Ossified meningioma, classified histologically as a phenotype of metaplastic meningioma, is extremely rare and belongs to WHO Grade I. Other histological phenotypes of metaplastic meningioma include cartilaginous, lipomatous, myxoid, xanthomatous, and cartilaginous tissue. The majority of ossific meningiomas are spinal in location with <20 cases of intracranial ossified meningioma reported so far. [2,3] Clinical symptoms include headache, dizziness, seizure, blurred vision, and weakness of lower limbs. Surgical removal is the ideal treatment option, with radiotherapy being useful in recurrent cases. Although not extensively studied, overall prognosis of metaplastic meningiomas is good. [3]

Scaling and computation of smooth atmospheric motions

We introduce a general scaling of the inviscid Eulerian equations which is satisfied by all members of the set of adiabatic smooth stratified atmospheric motions. Then we categorize the members into mutually exclusive subsets. By applying the bounded derivative principle to each of the subsets, we determine the specific scaling satisfied by that subset. One subset is midlatitude motion which is hydrostatic and has equal horizontal length scales. Traditionally, the primitive equations have been used to describe these motions. However it is well known that the use of the primitive equations for a limited area forecast of these motions leads to an ill-posed initial-boundary value problem. We introduce an alternate system which accurately describes this type of motion and can be used to form a well-posed initial-boundary value problem. We prove that the new system can also be used for any adiabatic or diabatic smooth stratified flow. Finally, we present supporting numerical results.

Travail, Développement, Souffrances et Actions

L'objectif de cette presentation est de proposer un modele theorique paradoxal fonde sur de multiples recherches, concernant la " souffrance ethique " dans les conduites de travail. Ce modele articule trois orientations : 1. Conditions de travail et souffrance psychique ; 2. Conduites de travail et engagement par l'action ; 3. Positivite des strategies identitaires par la (re)valorisation du sens et la reliance (empathie en situation de travail). Partant des travaux actuels sur les risques psychosociaux dans les entreprises et les organismes publics et prives, mais surtout de leur experience professionnelle en milieu hospitalier, les auteurs proposent une analyse paradoxale de l'investissement des personnes et de leur pouvoir d'agir dans les temporalites du projet de gestion de risques, questionnant les aspects methodologiques, ethiques avec leur dynamiques d'actions, et un modele psychosocial permettant de decrire et d'expliquer les conflits ou les strategies paradoxales utilisees. Sont pris en compte les travaux sur - la deliance/reliance (Marcel Bolle de Bal, Edgar Morin et Jean-Louis Lemoigne), - les effets destructurants du mepris et la non-prise en compte de la reconnaissance des personnes (Paul Ricoeur, Axel Honneth, Jean-Marc Ferry), - les caracteristiques positives de la conduite de travail et l'importance de l'activite, ou de " l'action ", de l'engagement et de l'histoire (Ignace Meyerson, Hannah Arendt, Philippe Malrieu, Lev Vygotski, Yves Clot). Sont ensuite evoquees la dynamique des conditions de la sante au travail, les souffrances qu'elles supposent, les processus d'adaptation qu'elles font emerger, les strategies de " prise " et de liberation personnelle (personnation), les aspirations ethiques (heroiques, dramatiques, hedoniques, eudemoniques, philharmoniques) (fondees sur la resilience/endurance, sur le retrait, la quete du bien-etre et du bonheur, la quete de l'harmonie mutuelle). Le blocage de ces aspirations est a rechercher dans les violences, les attachements contradictoires, les manipulations, les representations, les politiques de gestion de crises, les interpretations psychologistes ou sociologistes s'eloignant de la complexite des situations, des organisations " capabilisatrices ", de la comprehension de l'interstructuration des conduites individuelles et collectives et des regles et modalites de concertation instituees.

Transcription Termination by RNA Polymerase III in Fission Yeast

In order for RNA polymerase (pol) III to produce a sufficient quantity of RNAs of appropriate structure, initiation, termination, and reinitiation must be accurate and efficient. Termination-associated factors have been shown to facilitate reinitiation and regulate transcription in some species. Suppressor tRNA genes that differ in the dT(n) termination signal were examined for function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We also developed an S. pombe extract that is active for tRNA transcription that is described here for the first time. The ability of this tRNA gene to be transcribed in extracts from different species allowed us to compare termination in three model systems. Although human pol III terminates efficiently at 4 dTs and S. pombeat 5 dTs, Saccharomyces cerevisiae pol III requires 6 dTs to direct comparable but lower termination efficiency and also appears qualitatively distinct. Interestingly, this pattern of sensitivity to a minimal dT(n) termination signal was found to correlate with the sensitivity to α-amanitin, as S. pombe was intermediate between human and S. cerevisiae pols III. The results establish that the pols III of S. cerevisiae,S. pombe, and human exhibit distinctive properties and that termination occurs in S. pombe in a manner that is functionally more similar to human than is S. cerevisiae.

Recognition of yeast mRNAs as "nonsense containing" leads to both inhibition of mRNA translation and mRNA degradation: implications for the control of mRNA decapping.

A critical step in the degradation of many eukaryotic mRNAs is a decapping reaction that exposes the transcript to 5' to 3' exonucleolytic degradation. The dual role of the cap structure as a target of mRNA degradation and as the site of assembly of translation initiation factors has led to the hypothesis that the rate of decapping would be specified by the status of the cap binding complex. This model makes the prediction that signals that promote mRNA decapping should also alter translation. To test this hypothesis, we examined the decapping triggered by premature termination codons to determine whether there is a down-regulation of translation when mRNAs were recognized as "nonsense containing. " We constructed an mRNA containing a premature stop codon in which we could measure the levels of both the mRNA and the polypeptide encoded upstream of the premature stop codon. Using this system, we analyzed the effects of premature stop codons on the levels of protein being produced per mRNA. In addition, by using alterations either in cis or in trans that inactivate different steps in the recognition and degradation of nonsense-containing mRNAs, we demonstrated that the recognition of a nonsense codon led to a decrease in the translational efficiency of the mRNA. These observations argue that the signal from a premature termination codon impinges on the translation machinery and suggest that decapping is a consequence of the change in translational status of the mRNA.
Semi-nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Conditional Moment Restriction Models

This article studies estimation of a conditional moment restriction model with the seminonparametric maximum likelihood approach proposed by Gallant and Nychka ("Econometrica" 55 (March 1987), 363-90). Under some sufficient conditions, we show that the estimator of the finite dimensional parameter θ is asymptotically normally distributed and attains the semiparametric efficiency bound and that the estimator of the density function is consistent under "L" 2 norm. Some results on the convergence rate of the estimated density function are derived. An easy to compute covariance matrix for the asymptotic covariance of the θ estimator is presented.
