Artificial light pollution influences behavioral and 8 physiological traits in a keystone predator species,

Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) is an increasing global problem that, despite 31 being widely recognized in terrestrial systems, hasve been studied much less in marine 32 habitats. In this study we investigated the effect of ALAN on behavioral and physiological 33 traits of Concholepas concholepas , an important keystone species of the south-eastern 34 Pacific coast. We used juveniles collected in intertidal habitats that had not previously been 35 exposed to ALAN. In the laboratory we exposed them to two treatments: darkness and 36 white LED (Lighting Emitting Diodes) to test for the impacts of ALAN on prey-searching 37 behavior, self-righting time and metabolism. In the field, the distribution of juveniles was 38 observed during daylight-hours to determine whether C. concholepas preferred shaded or 39 illuminated microhabitats. Moreover, we compared the abundance of juveniles collected 40 during day- and night-time hours. The laboratory experiments demonstrated that juveniles 41 of C. concholepas seek out and choose their prey more efficiently in darkened areas. White 42 LED illuminated conditions increased righting times and metabolism. Field surveys 43 indicated that, during daylight hours, juveniles were more abundant in shaded micro- 44 habitats than in illuminated ones. However, during darkness hours, individuals were not 45 seen to aggregate in any particular microhabitats. We conclude that the exposure to ALAN 46 might disrupt important behavioral and physiological traits of small juveniles inof this 47 species which, as a mechanism to avoid visual predators, are mainly active at night. It 48 follows that ALAN in coastal areas might modify the entire community structure of 49 intertidal habitats by altering the behavior of this keystone species. 50
Exploring Non-Use of New Technology in Emergency Departments

Despite years of research and interdisciplinary collaboration, moving past pure data modeling and validation to early-stage evaluation of artificial intelligence or machine learning systems remains a big challenge. Notwithstanding good intentions, user-driven design, and careful emphasis on acceptability; acceptance of new technology is hard to predict, and non-use of the new system may pose a major evaluation challenge. In this paper, we review non-use of a new patient monitoring system evaluated in a cluster randomized trial and present the preliminary analysis of responses from clinicians using a survey instrument we designed for capturing the reasons for non-use. Results point to the importance of workflow integration, consideration to placement within the existing technology landscape, and providing extensive training and communication of purpose.
Ethics in E-marketing: Psychographic Segmentation

World is changing at a remarkable pace and so does the world of marketing. As we enter the twenty-first century, E-marketing has become the lifeblood of modern business. E-marketing creates additional customer value by transforming marketing strategies during effective segmentation, targeting, differentiation and positioning strategies. Customers’ concerns about ethical and unethical practices on the internet are directly having a direct effect on the take up of E-marketing. The key to survive in this competitive industry lies in better understanding of customers. In the present paper Psychographic segmentation of respondents has been made based on the perceptual statements toward various ethical concerns in E-marketing. For this purpose, the K-Mean cluster analysis technique has been used to classify the respondents into different groups on the basis of their psychographic tendencies and two groups identified. ANOVA statistic has been applied to check the variations among two clusters. Respondents found in cluster one are either moderate or positive in their attitude towards E-marketing and ethical issues related thereto. Respondents found in cluster two are negative in their attitude towards E-marketing in general and are also against the unethical practices of E-marketing.
Image Denoising Using Anisotropic Diffusion Equations on Reflection and illumination Components of Image

This paper proposes a new hybrid method based on Homomorphic filtering and anisotropic diffusion equations for image denoising. In this method, the Homomorphic filtering extracts the reflection and illumination components of a noisy image. Then a suitable image denoising method based on anisotropic diffusion is applied to each components with its special user-defined parameter. This hybrid scheme donates a flexibility and customizability to the method, due to its ability in properly enhancing images components. In order to evaluate the proposed method effectiveness, a number of experiments have been performed and the results have been compared with the results of other pioneering methods. The good results indicate superiority of the proposed method. doi: 10.5829/idosi.ije. 2014.27. 09c.03
Comparison of methodologies for degree-day estimation using numerical methods - doi: 10.4025/actasciagron.v33i3.6018

The development of projects related to the yield of various crops has been greatly enhanced with the incorporation of mathematical models as well as essential and more consistent equations which enable a prediction and greater approximation to their actual behavior, thus reducing error in estimate. Among the operations requiring further investigation are those related to crop growth, characterized by the ideal temperature for addition of dry matter. Due to the wide use of mathematical methods for representing, analyzing and attaining degree-day estimation as well as the great importance of sugarcane in the Brazilian economy, we carried out an evaluation of the mathematical models and numerical integration methods commonly used for estimating the availability of degrees-day for this crop in the region of Botucatu, in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Integration models with discretization every 6 hours have shown satisfactory results in degree-day estimation. Conventional methodologies have shown satisfactory results when the estimation of degrees-day was based on the time-temperature curve for each day and for groups of 3, 7, 15 and 30 days. Through numerical integration method, the region of Botucatu showed a annual thermal availability average from 1,070.6 degrees-day for the sugarcane.
Alveolar macrophages are the main target cells in feline calicivirus-associated 3 pneumonia 4 5 6

Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a pathogen of felids and one of the most common causative agents of feline upper respiratory disease (URD). Reports of natural FCV pneumonia in the course of respiratory tract infections are sparse. Therefore, knowledge on the pathogenesis of FCV-induced lung lesions comes only from experimental studies. The aim of the present study was to assess the type and extent of pulmonary involvement in natural respiratory FCV infections of domestic cats and to identify the viral target cells in the lung. For this purpose, histology, immunohistochemistry and RNA-in situ hybridisation for FCV and relevant cell markers were performed on diagnostic post-mortem specimens collected after fatal URD, virulent systemic FCV or other conditions. All groups of cats exhibited similar acute pathological changes, dominated by multifocal desquamation of activated alveolar macrophages (AM) and occasional type II pneumocytes with fibrin exudation, consistent with diffuse alveolar damage (DAD). In fatal cases, this was generally seen without evidence of epithelial regeneration. In cats without clinical respiratory signs, type II pneumocyte hyperplasia was present alongside the other changes, consistent with the post-damage proliferative phase of DAD. FCV infected and replicated in AM and, to a lesser extent, type II pneumocytes. This study shows that lung involvement is an infrequent but important feature of FCV-induced URD. AM are the main viral target cell and pulmonary replication site, and their infection is associated with desquamation and activation, as well as death via apoptosis.

Characteristics of Cell Wall Polysaccharides and Their Degrading Enzyme Activities in Mealy Fruit and "Ishinashi" Fruit of Japanese Pear (Pyres

How the cell wall constituents in Japanese pear mealy fruit (Pyrus serotina Rehder culta Rehder, cvs. Chojuro, Kikusui, 92-7, 'f -33) and "Ishinashi" fruit (cv. Chojuro) differ from fruit showing hardly both symptoms (cvs. Ni jisseiki, Hosui, 93-3) was shown through analyses of cell wall polysaccharides and their constituent monosaccharides, and cell wall-degrading enzyme activities. Cell wall polysaccharides were fractionated into water-soluble carbohydrate (9-.13%), NaClO2-soluble carbohydrate(3-. 5%), EDTA-soluble carbohydrate(below 2%), acid-soluble hemicellulose (2339%), alkali-soluble hemicellulose (16-v21%) and cellulose (2536%). The polysaccharides were composed of glucose (35-v43%), uronic acid (2631%), xylose (11~19%), arabinose (8-13%), galactose (4-7%), rhamnose (1-2%), mannose (below 1%) and fucose (below 1%). In mealy fruit, the degradation of acid-soluble hemicellulose in the middle lamella was more prominent than in the control fruit, with the former showing the higher activity of polygalacturonase. The degradation of the cellulose component in the mealy fruit was restricted compared with the control fruit because the rise in endocellulase (neutral form) activity was suppressed. This suggests that the flesh of mealy fruit consists of a weaker attachment of cells and a more rigid cell wall structure than the control fruit. In "Ishinashi" fruit, the degradation of acid-soluble hemicellulose and cellulose components was more restricted than in the control fruit. This restriction was also supported by the result that the activities of polygalacturonase, endocellulase and exocellulase were lower than in the control fruit. This suggests that the flesh of the "Ishinashi" fruit contains a tighter attachment of cells and a more rigid cell wall structure than that of the control fruit. It is suggested that there are some varietal differences in the cellulase and polygalacturonase activities and in the compositions of the cell wall polysaccharides.
The Correlation of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Curvature and Thickness in Glaucoma

The importance of early detection of glaucoma cannot be overstated, because glaucomatous optic nerve damage is irreversible. However, clinical examinations of the optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) are subjective and thus prone to variability. Recent research has focused on objective methods to aid in the diagnosis of glaucoma. Imaging techniques such as confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) give highly reproducible and quantitative results. They are increasingly being used to complement traditional optic disc and RNFL assessments. Newly released software for confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy using a Heidelberg Retina Tomograph III (HRT III; Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) offers new data analysis tools, such as the glaucoma probability score (GPS), which do not require placement of a contour line, thus decreasing inter-observer variability. Among the GPS parameters, the horizontal and vertical RNFL curvature show the greatest difference between glaucoma and normal control eyes. As glaucoma progresses, the automatically depicted model of ONH shape undergoes specific changes, as a result of the loss of rim tissue and 녹내장에서 망막신경섬유층 곡률과 두께의 연관성

Inter-organizational systems adoption in innovation networks

Despite the extensive research being done in inter-organizational systems (IOS) adoption in the industry-to-industry field, there seems to be a lack of similar research being done in the IOS adoption for the university-to-industry context. This study takes up this lack of research and focuses on what factors that affect the adoption of IOS in the university-toindustry context instead of the industry-to-industry one. The purpose of this paper is to find how different factors influence IOS adoption decision in the university-to-industry context from the university’s perspective. The study was conducted with a qualitative approach. Five interviews were conducted with coordinators and researchers from different research units at Linnaeus University. The study found seven inter-relationships among the influential factors and how they affect the IOS adoption decision. A model that describes the relations is presented by the end of the study. The study is conducted in the qualitative nature and the sample size is rather limited. Therefore, the findings of the study cannot be generalized.
O 1 . 00 / 0 a-Oxidation and Glyoxylate Cycle Coupled to NADH : Cytochrome c and Ferricyanide Reductases in Glyoxysomes '

Glyoxysomes isolated from castor bean (Ricinus communis L., var Hale) endosperm had NADH:ferricyanide reductase and NADH:cytochrome c reductase activities averaging 720 and 140 nanomole electrons/per minute per milligram glyoxysomal protein, respectively. These redox activities were greater than could be attributed to contmination of the glyoxysomal fractions in which 1.4% of the protein was mitochondrial and 5% endoplasmic reticulum. The NADH:ferricyanide reductase activity in the glyoxysomes was greater than the palmitoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) oxidation activity which generated NADH at a rate of 340 nanomole electrons per minute per milligram glyoxysomal protein. Palmitoyl-CoA oxidation could be coupled to ferricyanide or cytochrome c reduction. Complete oxidation of palmitoylCoA, yielding 14 nanomole electrons/per nanomole palmitoyl-CoA, was demonstrated with the acceptors, NAL*, cytochrome c, and ferricyanide. Malate was also oxidized by glyoxysomes, if acetyl-CoA, ferricyanide, or cytochrome c was present. Glyoxysomal NADH:ferricyanide reductase activity has the capacity to support the combined rates of NADH generation by 8-oxidation and the glyoxylate cycle.
Nonfini te Axiomat izabi l i ty of Shuffle Inequalit ies

In a previous paper [4], the authors found concrete descriptions of the free algebras in varieties generated by languages equipped with various sets of operations all involving the shuffle operation. For example, we considered the variety generated by the structures s = (P~:,., | 1), where P,~ consists of all subsets of the free monoid ,U*, B . C = {uv : u E B , v E C } , and B | C is the shuffle product of the two languages. The free algebras in this variety are labeled series-parallel posets. The free algebras in the variety of ordered algebras generated by the structures ( ~ : , C_) are again the labeled series-parallel posets equipped with an ordering we call the trace ordering. (In [7], labeled posets with the "subsumption order" were shown to be the free ordered algebras in a finitely axiomatizable variety.) "Closed subsets" of the labeled posets are the free algebras in the variety generated by the structures (P~:,., | +,*, 0, 1), where + is binary union and * is the Kleene star operation. These results seem to show that two different models of parallelism are equivalent: the so-called language or interleaving model, and a pomset model.
Aldosterone inhibits HCO 3 (cid:1) absorption via a nongenomic pathway in medullary thick ascending limb

III. Aldosterone inhibits HCO 3 (cid:1) absorption via a nongenomic pathway in medullary thick ascending limb. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 283: F699–F706, 2002. actions of aldosterone that are independent of transcription and translation have been described in a variety of cells; however, whether nongenomic pathways mediate aldosterone-induced regulation of renal tubule transport has not been determined. We report here that aldosterone induces rapid ( (cid:2) 3.5 min) inhibition of HCO 3 (cid:1) absorption in the medullary thick ascending limb (MTAL) of the rat. This inhibition is observed over the physiological range of hormone concentrations (IC 50 (cid:1) 0.6 nM) and is not affected by pretreatment with actinomycin D (12.5 (cid:3) g/ml), cycloheximide (40 (cid:3) g/ml), or spironolactone (10 (cid:3) M). The glucocorticoids dexamethasone, cortisol, and corticosterone (1 or 500 nM) did not affect HCO 3 (cid:1) absorption in the absence or presence of carbenoxolone. Thus the speciﬁcity of rapid aldosterone action is not dependent on 11 (cid:4) -hydroxy-steroid dehydrogenase activity. The inhibition by aldosterone is additive to inhibition by angiotensin II and vasopressin, indicating that these factors regulate MTAL transport through distinct pathways. These results demonstrate that aldosterone inhibits HCO 3 (cid:1) absorption in the MTAL via a pathway that is rapid, highly selective, independent of transcription and protein synthesis, and not mediated through the classic mineralocorticoid receptor. The results establish a role for nongenomic pathways in mediating aldosterone-in-duced regulation of transepithelial transport in the mammalian kidney. The novel action of aldosterone to inhibit luminal acidiﬁcation in the MTAL may play a role in enabling the kidney to regulate acid-base balance independently of Na (cid:5) balance and extracellular ﬂuid volume.
