Background. Depression treatment might be enhanced by ecological momentary interventions (EMI) based on self-monitoring and person-specific feedback. This study is the first to examine the efficacy of two different EMI modules for depression in routine clinical practice. Methods. Outpatients starting depression treatment at secondary mental health services (N = 161; MIDS−DEPRESSION = 35.9, S.D. = 10.7; MAGE = 32.8, S.D. = 12.1; 46% male) participated in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial with three arms. Two experimental groups engaged in 28 days of systematic self-monitoring (5 times per day), and received weekly feedback on either positive affect and activities (Do-module) or negative affect and thinking patterns (Think-module). The control group received no additional intervention. Participants completed questionnaires on depressive symptoms (primary outcome), social functioning, and empowerment before and after the intervention period, and at four measurements during a 6-month follow-up period. Results. Of the 90 (out of 110) participants who completed the intervention, 86% would recommend it. However, the experimental groups did not show significantly more or faster changes over time than the control group in terms of depressive symptoms, social functioning, and empowerment. Furthermore, the trajectories of the two EMI modules were very similar. Conclusions. We did not find statistical evidence that this type of EMI augments the efficacy of regular depression treatment, regardless of module content. We cannot rule out that EMIs have a positive impact on other domains or provide a more efficient way of delivering care. Nonetheless, EMI’s promise of effectiveness has not materialized yet.
The extra-intestinal avian pathogenic strain BEN2908 invades avian and human epithelial cells and survives intracellularly

1 Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are responsible for a wide range 2 of diseases in humans and animals. By using in vitro invasion assays and transmission 3 electron microscopy, we showed that BEN2908, an ExPEC strain of avian origin (also 4 termed APEC for Avian Pathogenic E. coli), is able to usurp cellular endocytic 5 pathways to invade A549 human type II pneumocytes and LMH avian hepathocytes 6 where it is able to survive over several days. Although type 1 fimbriae are the major 7 adhesin of BEN2908, proportions of adherent fimbriated or afimbriated bacteria that 8 entered cells were comparable. Internalization of BEN2908 into human pneumocytes 9 reinforces previous studies indicating that APEC strains could represent a zoonotic risk. 10 11 ExPEC / APEC/ intracellular/ epithelial cells / type 1 fimbriae/ zoonotic risk 12
Making Surveying Education Relevant

SUMMARY Surveying education has been ‘playing’ catch up with changes in the surveying/geomatics industry and some individuals are of the opinion that the lag is substantial and demands immediate attention. Not only has technology impacted the surveying industry but the modernisation brought on by information and computer technologies has considerably impacted teaching and learning methods and the characteristics and expectations of students who access higher education. This paper examines how selected surveying programmes address the issue of making their courses relevant. The issue of relevance is explored at a number of levels using the common theme - change. In this regard change in technology, in professional expectations, in societal demands, in student characteristics and in the scholarship of teaching and learning will be discussed with a focus on how they impact surveying education. The discussion is based on empirical data from a research that involved fifteen surveying programmes from thirteen countries. The study investigates curriculum architecture and pedagogical alternatives in surveying education and the perceived impact these have on student preparedness for work.

Water Pipeline Leakage Detection and Monitoring System Using Smart Sensor with IoT

This paper presents a smart water pipeline monitoring system to control the water leakages occurring in it. In day by day life, usage of water is increasing with proportional to increase in wastage of water. So, to overcome from this, a smart monitoring system with the help of Internet of Things (IoT) is designed and proposed. In this modern era, usages and advantages of IoT are immeasurable. There are a lot of sensors are available in the market to measure the water flow [2]. In this system, to monitor the flow of water, the water flow sensor is used in the pipeline and also to measure the contamination of water a turbidity sensor has been used. Flow sensor works on the principle of a hall effect [5]. Nodemcu microcontroller, is one of the most common microcontrollers used for IoT purposes has been used in this system [8]. Main purpose of this microcontroller used is because of its interrupt pins. The values measured by the water flow sensor and turbidity sensor are uploaded to the cloud server. For storing the data in the cloud, the ThingSpeak cloud server has been used for this system, because ThingSpeak cloud server is open and free to use. With the values measured by the water flow sensor the data is displayed in the ThingSpeak cloud webserver. So, monitoring of the water flow in the pipeline will be done very easily.
Experimental operation of drone micro-SAR with efficient time-varying velocity compensation

Drone platform for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operation has been little publicised due to the technical constraint of the payload implementation. Multi-rotor drone based SAR is distinguished from the conventional airborne system by the increased sensitivity to turbulences and poor motion stability. Extremely limited power and mass budgets may prevent the use of extra hardware for motion compensation and the difficulty of SAR focusing is aggravated. Feasibility of micro-SAR drone operation is investigated through field tests, where experimental SAR images are acquired over ground targets. Attempts have been made to implement near-real-time compensation for non-uniform motion disturbance. Finally, experimental drone SAR operation is validated through calibrated SAR images.
Homozygous deletion of the a- and f31-interferon genes in human leukemia and derived cell lines

The loss of bands p21-22 from one chromosome 9 homologue as a consequence of a deletion of the short arm [del(9p)], unbalanced translocation, or monosomy 9 is frequently observed in the malignant cells of patients with lymphoid neoplasias, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The a- and J31-interferon genes have been assigned to this chromosome region (9p21-22). We now present evidence of the homozygous deletion of the interferon genes in neoplastic hematopoietic cell lines and primary leukemia cells in the presence or absence of chromosomal deletions that are detectable at the level of the light microscope. In these cell lines, the deletion of the interferon genes is accompanied by a deficiency of 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.28), an enzyme of purine metabolism. These homozygous deletions may be associated with the loss of a tumor-suppressor gene that is involved
Probabilistic transmission expansion planning for increasing wind power penetration

Wind power is one of the promising renewable energy resources to achieve energy sustainability. Its growth poses increasing financial and technical challenges to power systems, mainly due to the wind intermittency. Existing transmission networks may require infrastructure investment, in order to maintain the economical, secure and reliable operations of power systems with increasing wind power penetration. This study proposes a stochastic transmission expansion planning (TEP) framework to assess the impacts of wind power penetration and demand response incorporation. A risk constraint on load curtailment is introduced and its effect on TEP solutions is investigated. Also, to reduce the complexity and size the formulated TEP problem, a decomposition-based approach is adopted. According to the numerical results on the Garver's six-bus and the modified IEEE 30-bus systems, the solutions of TEP are subject to the variation of wind power characteristics and cannot be determined straightforward. Hence risk-analysis should be carried out to guide transmission investment with increased flexibility. The incorporation of wind power uncertainty increases the total cost and expected energy not supplied, which can be mitigated by the proposed TEP approach.
The Impact of Leadership Styles on the Job Satisfaction of Employees in a Garment Factory of Sri Lanka

Job satisfaction is a common but important theme discussed at organizational level. It refers to the attitude and feelings that the people have about their work. Main concern of every organization is to maintain the satisfaction of the employees so that the organizational goals can be achieved successfully. Job satisfaction of the employees can be determined by many factors. Among them, leadership style followed by the leaders is also one of the important factors. Leadership style is the manner and approach of providing direction, implementing plans and motivating people.Many scholars have addressed the impact of leadership styles on the job satisfaction of employees in different manner. But, literature on this topic in the context of Sri Lanka has not sufficiently developed. There are only few studies covered the subject of leadership in Sri Lanka particularly limiting to few sectors. Therefore, this study attempts to fill that gap of the knowledge by addressing how leadership styles affect job satisfaction of the employees, particularly in a garment factory in Sri Lanka. Methodologically, deductive testing theory approach was followed by this study. Theory was developed by the literature based on the pilot study. As the pilot study confirmed that three major leadership styles such as democratic, autocratic and transactional style are followed by the leaders, the impact of these three styles on the job satisfaction of employees were examined by giving a questionnaire to a stratified random sample of 60 employees. Basic hypothesis of the study was that the transactional leadership style should be the most significant in determining the job satisfaction according to human nature. But the outcome of this study confirmed that the impact of democratic style was statistically more significant than autocratic and transactional styles by rejecting the initial hypothesis.
The uses of social networking sites among Jordanian journalist

The new role of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) as a news platforms provides a motivation to more action. The Internet has encouraged to change the role of journalists in the communication process, and shifted the news style, and support people to use other news platforms to access information. This study is interested in knowing the reasons for the use of Jordanian journalists to social networking sites in their work.In addition, we aim to find out the change wrought by social networking sites on the roles of journalists and the transition from traditional media to new media. The finding of this paper found that, journalists can bring ideas and feedback about any issue from audiences and via continuous interactivity with users, journalists seeking to develop a different form of relationship more effective than the connection types created by traditional media. The Journalist is working on the review of people and journalists pages, and pages of news sites, local and international newspapers, to know the latest news and details about a specific issue, or to get new ideas could have used in the construction of a report or story.
Modelling of handset antenna interactions with the user and sar reduction techniques

Today's mobile phones require proof of compliance to standard limits of the specific absorption rate (SAR), before they can be allowed onto the market. The SAR is a calculation of the power absorbed by tissue, averaged over a mass, resulting from the radiation of the handset. This requirement is set by standard committees worldwide making it a critical design consideration for the handset and antenna. The article presents an investigation which highlights how handset designs employing common elements such as the whip and PIFA (planar inverted F antenna) are very sensitive in their resulting SAR averages when alterations to the structures are included. It is seen that simple changes to the handset model can result in large improvements in the SAR performance.
Vernicia fordii ‘Spiers’, a New Tung Tree for Commercial Tung Oil Production in the Gulf Coast Region

Tung trees (Vernicia fordii Hemsl.) are native to China and were grown in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, mostly U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) cold hardiness zones 8 and 9, for tung oil production from 1937 to 1969 (Robb and Travis, 2013). Tung oil production ranged from northern Florida to Texas during the tung oil industry boom. Pearl River County in southern Mississippi, where the USDA— Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Thad Cochran Southern Horticultural Laboratory (TCSHL) is located, hadmore than 60,000 acres of tung trees in production at one time. Industrial tung oil use in theUnited States continues today, but raw oil is imported, mainly from South American orchards and China. There have been several attempts to revive tung tree farming in the Gulf Coast region, but yearly production is substantially affected by weather, especially, late frosts that reduce yields and high winds that damage orchards. Replacement of tung trees takes up to 5 years before new trees reach peak production. At the current time, the most prominent use of tung trees is for landscape purposes including the recent release of ‘Anna Bella’, a nutless tung tree, from the TCSHL germplasm collection (Rinehart et al., 2013). Recent studies on the unique qualities of tung oil have revived interest in domestic tung oil production as a specialty crop. Tung oil contains high levels of eleostearic acid, a novel conjugated trienoic fatty acid that contains highly desirable chemical properties for the production of industrial products including paints, varnishes, and wood finishing products. There is also interest in domestic tung oil production as a biofuels additive (Shang et al., 2012). Companies seeking to reduce reliance on foreign imports and label products as ‘‘Made in America’’ are also interested in domestic production of tung oil. To that end, researchers at TCSHL evaluated the germplasm collection for potential cultivar release(s) for commercial tung oil production in collaboration with small business partners. An elite selection from the 1950s designated L266 was identified, evaluated, and released to the public. Cultivation from orchard plantings to tung nut harvesting by field labor or mechanical methods has been extensively researched and recommended practices are still effective today (Potter and Crane, 1957). The most significant risk to tung tree cultivation is damage to the bloom from late frosts in the spring. Here we are publishing the release of Vernicia fordii ‘Spiers’, a late-flowering tung tree for commercial tung oil production in the Gulf Coast region.
How Do Worldviews Shape Self-views? An Examination of the Causality between Cynicism and Self-Esteem

The negative association between cynicism, a negative view about human nature, and self-esteem, a global evaluation of the self, has been consistently documented in the literature. However, the causal mechanisms underlying this association have not yet been examined to illuminate how worldviews and self-views are linked, while previous research has presented equivocal findings regarding the causal direction. In two studies, I tested how cynical worldview influences self-esteem using multiple designs, and hence provided empirical evidence to this open question. In Study 1, a cross-lagged panel analysis revealed that cynicism significantly predicted decreased self-esteem four months later, but the reverse was not found. In Study 2, I experimentally manipulated cynicism, and found that participants primed with a cynical worldview were more likely to report lower self-esteem, compared to participants in the control condition. I also examined the mediating role of perceived connectedness with others and the society in this linkage, and the results showed that social connectedness mediated the influence of cynicism on self-esteem. This research therefore laid important groundwork for understanding the causal relations among our perceptions of the social world, interpersonal relationships, and the self.

Modelling and operation of sub-miniature constant temperature hot-wire anemometry

High-Reynolds number flows are very common in technological applications and in nature, and hot-wire anemometry is the preferred method for measuring the time-series of fluctuating velocity in such flows. However, measurement of very high-Reynolds number flows requires hot-wires with higher temporal and spatial resolution than is available with conventional probes. Much effort has therefore been devoted to decreasing the size of the hot-wire probes and this has led to associated challenges with operation. It is this latter operation problem which is the focus of this paper. To this end, an existing theoretical model of constant-temperature hot-wire anemometers (Perry 1982 Hot-Wire Anemometry (New York: Oxford University Press), Watmuff 1995 Exp. Therm. Fluid Sci. 11 117–34) is applied, and its accuracy is tested for the first time by comparison to measurements using an in-house constant temperature anemometer (CTA) for both conventional 5 μm-diameter wires and sub-miniature hot-wires. With the aid of this model, we propose modifications to the CTA design and demonstrate successful operation of the CTA with the Princeton nano-scale thermal anemometry probe (NSTAP) (Bailey et al 2010 J. Fluid Mech. 663 160–79). It is also shown that the transfer function obtained from the model can be utilized to estimate the true frequency response and cut-off frequency of a hot-wire-CTA system to the velocity fluctuations, which is essential in accurate measurements of energy spectrum and higher order statistics of turbulent flows.
NPD project portfolio selection using reinvestment strategy in competitive environment

Article history: Received January 15 2017 Received in Revised Format April 1 2017 Accepted May 4 2017 Available online May 5 2017 This study aims to design a new model for selecting most fitting new product development projects in a pool of projects. To catch the best model, we assume new products will be introduced to the competitive markets. Also, we suppose the revenue yielded by completed projects can be reinvested on implementation of other projects. Other sources of financing are borrowing loans from banks and initial capital of the firm. These limited resources determine most evaluated projects to be performed. Several types of interactions among different projects are considered to make the chosen projects more like a portfolio. In addition, some numerical examples from the real world are provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model. These examples show how the particular considerations in the suggested model affect the results. © 2018 Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved
Struggling for the New Role for Business Controller

The recent discussion on changes in the controller's role has mainly focused on the national and organizational level culture aspects of that professional role. While earlier studies have demonstrated how the role changes have been stimulated by corporate culture, IT systems, new accounting technologies and interprofessional competition, we contend that such changes cannot be achieved without active individuals in organizations. Our study is informed by the concept of institutional entrepreneurship, concentrating on changes in institutions, such as professional roles, which are achieved by an active agency. Thus we concentrate on the individual level by tracing how the role of a single controller was changed from that of 'bean counter' towards that of business partner. We illustrate how new cost accounting techniques and modern ICT (ERP) serve as critical momentum for this role change, and how the aspiring controller must creatively combine multiple competencies in order to change the institutionalized role. Organizational roles and other social institutions defending accounting practices may change and are changed only as a result of active agencies. Therefore, in order to understand the conditions for these changes, we need to pay more attention to what active individuals are doing when bringing about these changes. More attention should paid to the political and discursive action on accountants.
