STRESSING WORDS IN -Ative*

STRESSING WORDS IN -Ative* Debbie L. Nanni, University of Massachusetts at Amherst The suffix -Ative that derives adjectives from verbs in English has been known to display interesting prominence and reduction characteristics. My purpose here is to provide an analysis of words in -Ative that utilizes the metrical theory of stress. It will be shown that the prominence, stressing, and reduction behavior of such words can be described in a straightforward manner within the metrical framework elaborated in Liberman and Prince (1977; henceforth, L and P). ' The alternation between [-Ativ] and [+ztiv] will be seen to pose certain apparent problems for the metrical theory. However, I will show that the prominence behavior of words in -Ative provides us with a crucial insight into how -Ative must be analyzed. It will then be seen that the correct stress contours on these forms will be generated by the system proposed in L and P. The system for assigning stress contours that was developed by Liberman and Prince incorporates an iterative stress rule (the English Stress Rule), instructions for building metrical trees, and a rule for assigning labels to metrical trees (the Lexical Category Prominence Rule). The English Stress Rule (henceforth, ESR) operates from right to left across a word. In addition, morphemes may be lexically marked to undergo a particular expansion of the ESR.
Adolescent Sexual Decision Making and Sex Education: Using developmental neuroscience to guide new directions for policy and practice

: While school-based sex education is one of the key program and policy solutions to improve adolescent sexual health outcomes, new efforts are needed to strengthen its overall impact. The cognitive, hormonal, emotional, and physical changes that accompany the onset of puberty and occur throughout the teenage years play a significant role in aspects of adolescent sexual risk taking. Thus, one approach to advancing current understanding of these complex issues is to leverage emerging knowledge in developmental affective neuroscience over the past 15 years, which suggests some potentially promising innovations that may inform new educational directions to improve adolescent sexual health. Exploring the conceptual and empirical advances in understanding adolescent brain development through the lens of the conceptualization, implementation, and evaluation of sex education, this article provides new perspectives that encourage the testing of innovative approaches to sex education policy and practice.

The main contributions of the proposed method is to suppresses image noise without reducing the image sharpness we will use Median filtering, Each pixel in a facial image is represented by an anatomical signature obtained from its corresponding most salient scale local region Based on the anatomical signature calculated from each pixel, a novel Markov random field based group wise registration framework is proposed to formulate the face recognition problem.
Disturbance-observer based control of voltage-source-converter under unbalanced voltage conditions

Purpose This paper aims to propose a novel grid current control strategy for grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs) under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. Design/methodology/approach A grid voltage dynamic model is represented in symmetrical positive and negative sequence reference frames. A proportional controller structure with a first-order low-pass filter disturbance observer (DOB) is designed for power control in unbalanced voltage conditions. This controller is capable of meeting the positive sequence power requirements, and it also eliminates negative sequence power components which cause double-frequency oscillations on power. The symmetrical components are calculated by using the second-order generalized integrator-based observer, which accurately estimates the symmetrical components. Findings Proportional current controllers are sufficient in this study in a wide range of operating conditions, as DOB accurately estimates and feed-forwards nonlinear terms which may be deteriorated by physical and operating conditions. This is the first reported scheme which estimates the VSC disturbances in terms of symmetrical component decomposition and the DOB concept. Originality/value The proposed method does not require any grid parameter to be known, as it estimates nonlinear terms with a first-order low-pass filter DOB. The proposed control system is implemented on a dSPACE ds1103 digital controller by using a three-phase, three-wire VSC.
Oxidative Stress in Animals Exposed to Different Stressful Conditions

The terms oxidative stress, oxidative damage, free radical and antioxidant have become an integrated part of the variety of scientific discussions in issues related to chemistry, biology and research in biosciences. Oxidative stress commonly occurs following heat stress in tropical regions and affects animals and Glutathione protects cells from oxidative damages. Glutathione has been mediating the initial response for acquiring tolerance to heat stress. Glutathione serves vital functions in animals, antioxidant defense, scavenging free radicals and other reactive species, removing hydrogen and lipid peroxides, preventing oxidation of bio-molecules, signal transduction and gene expression and DNA and protein synthesis, and proteolysis. The ATP-ase and cholinesterase enzymes take the major role in metabolic pathways inside the living cell. There was a significant inhibition of total ATP-ase activity and cholinesterase enzymes in animals under heat stress conditions.
BAY 41-2272-Induced Dilation in Ovine Pulmonary Artery: Role of Sodium Pump

The mechanisms of relaxation to nitric oxide (NO)-independent soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) activator, BAY 41-2272 were investigated in isolated ovine pulmonary artery. BAY 41-2272 (1 nM-10 µM) produced concentration-dependent relaxation of endothelium-denuded pulmonary artery rings (pD 2 , 6.82 ± 0.16; E max 92.30 ± 2.31%; n=8), pre-contracted with 5-HT (1 µM). 1-H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ 10 µM), an inhibitor of sGC partially inhibited (E max 57.10 ± 3.10%; n=6) the relaxation response of BAY 41-2272. In comparison to ODQ, sodium pump inhibitor ouabain (1 µM) produced greater decrease in the vasodilator response of BAY 41-2272 (E max 20.17 ± 4.55%; n=6). free solution also attenuated (E max 39.97 ± 3.52%; n=6) BAY 41-2272-induced relaxation. ODQ (10 µM) plus ouabain (1 µM) abolished the relaxant response of BAY 41-2272 (E max 12.09 ± 3.76%; n=6 versus vehicle control, DMSO E max 15.83 ± 1.72%; n=6). KT-5823 (2 µM), a specific inhibitor of protein kinase G had no effect on ODQ (10 µM)-insensitive relaxation evoked by BAY 41-2272. BAY 41-2272 (10 µM) inhibited Ca 2+ -induced contractions in K + -depolarized preparations. BAY 41-2272 (10 µM) caused about 14-fold increase in the intracellular cGMP over the basal level, which was completely inhibited by ODQ (10 µM). BAY 41-2272 (0.1, 1.0 and 10 µM) significantly (P<0.05) increased ouabain-sensitive 86Rb-uptake in a concentration-dependent manner. BAY 41-2272 (10 µM) also stimulated sarcolemmal Na + K + -ATPase activity. However, ODQ (10 µM) had no significant effect on either basal or BAY 41-2272-stimulated 86Rb-uptake/ Na + -K + -ATPase activities. In conclusion, this study provides the first evidence of sodium pump stimulation by BAY 41-2272 independent of cGMP as an additional mechanism to sGC activation in relaxation of ovine pulmonary artery. in ovine pulmonary artery strips. The control level of the cyclic nucleotide refers to the measurements made in the presence of the solvent DMSO (0.01%). Following equilibration for 90 min in PSS, the tissues were exposed either to the solvent DMSO or BAY 41-2272 (10 µM) for either 3 or 30 min before quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen. To study the effect of sGC inhibitor on BAY 41-2272 response, arterial strips were pretreated with ODQ (10 µM) for 30 min before exposure to BAY 41-2272 (10 Results Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF ARA PROTOCOL WITH DSR AND AODV PROTOCOL

-Most traditional mobile ad hoc network routing protocols were designed focusing on the efficiency and performance of the network [1]. Ad hoc network are wireless network with no fixed infrastructure in which nodes depend on each other to keep the networked connected. Ant algorithms are a class of swarm intelligence and try to map the solution capability of ant colonies to mathematical and engineering problems. The A nt-Colony-Based R outing A lgorithm (ARA) is based on ant algorithms. The main properties of the algorithm are high adaptive, efficiency. In this paper, we compared the performance of ARA routing protocol with different ad hoc on demand routing protocol using performance metrics such as packet delivery ratio, throughput etc.
O riginal A rticle Neuropeptide S promotes wakefulness through the inhibition of sleep-promoting ventrolateral preoptic nucleus neurons

Study Objectives: The regulation of sleep-wake cycles is crucial for the brain’s health and cognitive skills. Among the various substances known to control behavioral states, intraventricular injection of neuropeptide S (NPS) has already been shown to promote wakefulness. However, the NPS signaling pathway remains elusive. In this study, we characterized the effects of NPS in the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO) of the hypothalamus, one of the major brain structures regulating non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Methods: We combined polysomnographic recordings, vascular reactivity, and patch-clamp recordings in mice VLPO to determine the NPS mode of action. Results: We demonstrated that a local infusion of NPS bilaterally into the anterior hypothalamus (which includes the VLPO) signi fi cantly increases awakening and speci fi cally decreases NREM sleep. Furthermore, we established that NPS application on acute brain slices induces strong and reversible tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive constriction of blood vessels in the VLPO. This effect strongly suggests that the local neuronal network is downregulated in the presence of NPS. At the cellular level, we revealed by electrophysiological recordings and in situ hybridization that NPSR mRNAs are only expressed by non-Gal local GABAergic neurons, which are depolarized by the application of NPS. Simultaneously, we showed that NPS hyperpolarizes sleep-promoting neurons, which is associated with an increased frequency in their spontaneous IPSC inputs. Conclusion: Altogether, our data reveal that NPS controls local neuronal activity in the VLPO. Following the depolarization of local GABAergic neurons, NPS indirectly provokes feed-forward inhibition onto sleep-promoting neurons, which translates into a decrease in NREM sleep to favor arousal. VLPO induces a feed-forward inhibition on sleep-promoting neurons to indirectly produce their hyperpolarization. Since NPS release is associated with intense stress exposure and can lead to insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorders, the results of this study may provide new therapeutic targets in the treatment of insomnia as well as anxiety symptoms that are observed following stress exposure.
Technology-enriched mathematics learning: What is the teacher's role

Previous research on computers and graphics calculators in mathematics education has looked at effects on curriculum content and students’ mathematical achievement and attitudes, but less attention has been given to the ways in which teachers integrate technology into their pedagogical practice or to how teachers learn to teach with technology. This observation is critical in the current context of educational policy making, where it is assumed – often incorrectly – that supplying schools with hardware and software will increase teachers’ use of technology and encourage more innovative teaching approaches. This paper reports on a research program that aimed to develop better understanding of how and under what conditions Australian secondary school mathematics teachers learn to effectively integrate technology into their practice. The research adapted Valsiner’s concepts of the Zone of Proximal Development, Zone of Free Movement and Zone of Promoted Action to devise a theoretical framework for analysing relationships between factors influencing teachers’ use of technology in mathematics classrooms. The framework is used to analyse case studies of a novice teacher and an experienced teacher in different school settings.
List of Classification Categories

For space reasons, Table 1 was omitted from a paper in which we report on the results of a systematic literature review in order to suggest a taxonomy of user feedback classification categories. This table details the 78 categories after merging duplicates, along with their definitions and references to the primary papers in which they were found. These categories served as the basis for establishing our taxonomy. For the sake of clarity, we have organized them according to the same classification groups as those used in our final taxonomy.
Incorporation of 1-3-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine into DNA and Mutagenesis of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1

To investigate the association between incorporation of 1-f0-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C) into herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA and mutagenesis at selected genetic loci, we grew virus in the presence or absence of ara-C and compared the mutation frequencies. Both the forward mutation frequency of HSV-1 (KOS) to the tk- phenotype and the reversion frequency of a temperature-sensitive mutant to the non-temperature-sensitive (ts+) phenotype were significantly increased following growth in ara-C. When the same viruses were grown in an inhibitor of the HSV-1 DNA polymerase that is not incorporated into DNA, no significant increase in the frequency of tk- or ts+ particles was observed. Furthermore, HSV-1 araAr, a mutant resistant to ara-C on the basis of reduced incorporation of the analog into viral DNA, did not demonstrate an increase in the number of tk- particles following growth in ara-C. These results suggest that mutagenesis of HSV-1 following growth in ara-C correlates with incorporation of the nucleoside analog into viral DNA.
Proteomic phage display of syntenin-1 and scribble

Syntenin-1 and scribble are scaffolding proteins that are involved in signaling pathways. One of the aims of this project was to investigate if syntenin-1 PDZ 1-2 can bind to peptides containing linked internal and C-terminal motifs. The second aim was to investigate if scribble PDZ 3-4 recognizes different motifs than isolated scribble PDZ 3. This was experimentally tested by a method called proteomic peptide phage display where phage libraries are used that display peptides representing part of the human proteome. In this study two phage libraries were used, displaying C-terminal peptides of either 7 amino acids or 24 amino acids length that may bind to the different domains on syntenin-1 and scribble. The bait protein were expressed and purified, which was followed by phage display selections. The results from the phage display experiments, which were analyzed by a phage pooled enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indicated that the experiment with syntenin as bait protein failed. The selections against scribble PDZ 3-4 appeared more successful. Analysis through clonal ELISA and sequencing of clones binding to scribble PDZ 3-4 suggest that scribble PDZ 3-4 might bind to other motifs than scribble PDZ 3.
A Protocol for Synchronizing Quantum-Derived Keys in IPsec and its Implementation

—This paper presents a practical solution to the problem of limited bandwidth in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)- secured communication through using rapidly rekeyed Internet Protocol security (IPsec) links. QKD is a cutting-edge security technology that provides mathematically proven security by using quantum physical effects and information theoretical axioms to generate a guaranteed non-disclosed stream of encryption keys. Although it has been a ﬁeld of theoretical research for some time, it has only been producing market-ready solutions for a short period of time. The downside of this technology is that its key generation rate is only around 12,500 key bits per second. As this rate limits the data throughput to the same rate, it is substandard for normal modern communications, especially for securely interconnecting networks. IPsec, on the other hand, is a well-known security protocol that uses classical encryption and is capable of exactly creating site-to-site virtual private networks. This paper presents a solution which combines the performance advantages of IPsec with QKD. The combination sacriﬁces only a small portion of QKD security by using the generated keys a limited number of times instead of just once. As a part of this, the solution answers the question of how many data bits per key bit make sensible upper and lower boundaries to yield high performance while maintaining high security. While previous approaches complement the Internet Key Exchange protocol (IKE), this approach simpliﬁes the implementation with a new key synchronization concept. Furthermore, it provides a Linux-based module for the AIT QKD software using the Netlink XFRM Application Programmers Interface to feed the quantum key to the IPsec cipher. This enables wire-speed, QKD-secured communication links for business applications.
Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) waste in wood plastic composites (WPCs) composition for structural applications

Wind energy is one of the rapidly growing industries of recent times due to global demand of renewable energy. Turbine blade is a key component of wind mill generally made of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) composites, which do not have proper end-of-life solution due to complex material composition. To solve this problem, feasibility of using demolished wind turbine blade (WTB) waste with different concentrations into wood plastic composites (WPCs) application was investigated. In this research, three different types of WPCs were produced through extrusion technology where solid panels and hollow decks were manufactured to compare them with locally available similar commercial products. Different WPC hollow bars were produced with different WTB composition, recycled plastics and wood pellets to perform material testing. All the experiments followed respective European standards and both mechanical tests (3-point bending and Brinell hardness) were performed by Zwick testing machine before and after immersion for 24 hours and 28 days. Water soaking test revealed that a hollow bar reference A material absorbed the highest moisture due to high wood content and least by WTB 45% samples where the content of wood was lower. Among all the tested bars, WTB 30% and WTB 45% exhibited better modulus of elasticity (Emod), modulus of rupture (MOR) and Brinell hardness number (BHN) in all conditions. One-way ANOVA test was used to test statistical significance. In deck products tests, Conenor’s waste based hollow deck exhibited better MOR, Emod and BHN over UPM ProFi deck before and after 28 day immersion. Similarly, Conenor’s composite panel had significantly better mechanical properties over Metsä plywood in all conditions, except lower Emod and MOR in dry condition or before water soaking. Hence, it is suggested to use WTB waste at 30%–45% levels as reinforcement in thermoplastic material composition for extruded composites like bars, panels and multilayer hollow decking aimed for outdoor and other moist applications.
Dynamic Scenario Selection in Optimal Design Problems and Evolutionary Optimization with Uncertain System Knowledge

The design of water resource management and control systems have provided a promising space for evolutionary algorithms. In many cases a system for managing a water resource requires a large degree of planning and design before implementation and many stake holders perceive different objectives with different importance. Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms inherently provide a tool that can best satisfy the desires of many stakeholders (many objectives) through computation of a non-dominated solution set. However, the performance of an optimal solution provided by a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm is likely to deteriorate during real-world implementation if design conditions of the optimization framework are not identical to those imposed on the system in practice. This paper focuses on evaluating a scenario based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm for real-world design problems in which the environment where a system will operate is dynamic, and uncertain. A previously developed genetic algorithm termed the “RNSGA-II” used for water distribution system design is augmented to incorporate robust objectives and simple Monte Carlo sampling to solve the classic water quality sensor placement problem. This study aims to further develop an understanding of scenario based optimization methods for optimizing solutions to perform well in the face of uncertainty.
