Space requirement for mass rearing of two common Indian acridid adults (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in laboratory condition.

Being nutritionally rich, short-horned grasshoppers (acridids) can be used to produce high quality feed for livestock industries. For a sustainable supply to the feed manufacturing companies a huge acridid biomass should be obtained at a regular basis. For this purpose acridid farming is going to be essential. But for a successful farming their optimum density per unit space should be obtained. Keeping this in mind the space requirement for mass rearing of two multivoltine grasshopper species i.e. Oxya fuscovittata and Spathosternum prasiniferum prasiniferum were taken under consideration. The experimental jars having 10X10X25 cm space 3 were used as unit area. Results revealed that for mass culture, the density level 15 for O. fuscovittata and 25 for S. pr. prasiniferum per unit space are most suitable without any mortality. Density level 25 for O. fuscovittata and 35 for S. pr. prasiniferum are good for mass rearing as in these cases mortality rate is very less (i.e. 12% and 15.43% respectively). It was concluded that being smaller in size, more numbers of S. pr. prasiniferum could be kept per unit area compared to O. fuscovittata.

Regulation of human colon‐carcinoma cell adhesion to extracellular matrix by transforming growth factor β1

The regulatory effect of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF‐β1) on the adhesion of human colon‐carcinoma cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) was investigated. ECMs used in this study included tissue‐culture wells coated with fibronectin, laminin, collagen and BSA, as well as plastic wells. Three phenotypically different human colon‐carcinoma cell lines (Moser, HCT116, and KM 12SM) were used. The Moser cell line is moderately differentiated and, in terms of the diversity of responses elicited by TGF‐β1, is the human colon‐carcinoma cell line most responsive to TCP‐β1 as reported to date. By comparison, the undifferentiated HCT116 and the highly meta‐ static KM 12SM cells are unresponsive to this growth factor. We showed that TGF‐β1 regulated the adhesion responses of all 3 cell lines. However, the response profiles as well as the endogenous adhesive properties of each cell line were quite different from those of the others. Endogenous Arg‐Gly‐Asp(RGD)‐related receptors were present on the HCT 116 but not on the other cells. The observed regulatory effect of TGF‐β1 was contingent on the cell line, the type of ECM, and the growth‐factor treatment protocol used. When cells were treated with TGF‐PI for 16 hr prior to exposure to ECM in a 4‐hr adhesion assay, a significant increase in adhesion to fibronectin and collagen was observed for the Moser cells. For the identical experimental protocol, the KM 12SM cells responded by increas‐ ing adhesion to fibronectin, while the HCT 116 cells responded by decreasing adhesion to collagen. Kinetic analyses of TGF‐p I treatment showed that increased adhesion response to laminin was induced in the Moser cells after 2 hr of growth‐factor treatment. This response declined rapidly upon further exposure of the cells to TGF‐β1. Simultaneous exposure of cells to both TGF‐β1 and ECM negated the adhesion responses described above. The up‐modulation of adhesion to fibronectin, laminin and collagen by TGF‐β1 was mediated through RGD‐related integrin receptors. RGD‐containing peptides effectively blocked the enhanced adhesion responses induced by TGF‐β1.
Sublinear eigenvalue problems on compact Riemannian manifolds with applications in Emden{Fowler equations

Let (M;g) be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, with dimM 3; and f : R! R a continuous function which is sublinear at innity. By various variational approaches, existence of multiple solutions of the eigenvalue problem g! + ( )! = ~ K(; )f(! ); 2 M; ! 2 H 2 1 (M); is established for certain eigenvalues > 0, depending on further properties of f and on explicit forms of the function ~ K: Here, g stands for the Laplace{Beltrami operator on (M;g); and; ~ K are smooth positive functions. These multiplicity results are then applied to solve Emden{Fowler equations which involve sublinear terms at innity.

Factors that influence success in large construction projects: the case of Kenya Urban Roads Authority projects

Project management as a management discipline is relatively new, and more so complex dynamic. The knowledge gap that exists within the profession has been the greatest und0 and mg cal in managing projects. However, it is premised that the clear understanding of such critj missing information, will enable successful management of projects. Generally, past industry experiences show that, medium to large size projects have high failure rate, pj consequences can be costly and lengthy, with the worst outcomes often leading undesirable litigation engagements. Developing Countries have higher rate of low proje performance than developed countries. The broad task of this study was to identify analyze the key factors that influence success in large construction projects with reference \ Kenya Urban Roads Authority projects. This research adopted a descriptive survey. ^ target projects in this study consisted of all KURA construction projects with total bud, Set greater than One million US dollars ($ 1 Million), which were assumed to be large prqject in this research, undertaken from the year 2008 to 2012. The target population of the stU(j was 125 senior managers of the construction couipgnies, client representatives and ^ consultants. Purposive sampling was used to select 94 respondents.

Towards ICT-enhanced Management Support Systems For Optimising Infrastructure Procurement

Infrastructure procurement programmes of many public clients and large private developers, increasingly involve complex networks of stakeholders. Well balanced and 'fully informed? decisions are critical in optimizing resources to achieve agreed objectives. A research project in Hong Kong is aimed at developing an ICT (Information and Communications Technology) - enhanced MSS (Management Support System). This will empower the formulation of more effective and efficient construction project procurement and delivery/ operational systems - for innovative and improved 'total? management of construction projects - from a large client's viewpoint. Web-based Decision Support Systems (wDSSs) are being developed to help achieve such objectives, by capturing, codifying and mobilising both expert and experiential construction industry knowledge. Furthermore, web interfaces are being designed to mobilise the collective expertise of the entire project supply chain in real-time collaborative formats. These decision aids will enable the often fragmented multi-disciplinary project teams to build on 'state of the science? knowledge, past 'lessons learnt? and present best practices, in making more informed managerial decisions that will help to optimise inputs and reduce wasted resources. Potential benefits of wDSSs are demonstrated in this paper, through examples from the integrated framework and prototype modules/ models that are under development and 'construction' in Hong Kong. These cover a crosssection of infrastructure programme management decision scenarios, i.e. in: (1) multi-purpose contractor registration-prequalification, (2) dynamic performance appraisal of contractors and (3) evaluating 'extension of time? entitlements. Interim outcomes included herein are the basic MSS framework, pilot models of items (1) and (2) above and prototype modules of item (3) above.
FasTer: Fast Tensor Completion with Nonconvex Regularization.

Low-rank tensor completion problem aims to recover a tensor from limited observations, which has many real-world applications. Due to the easy optimization, the convex overlapping nuclear norm has been popularly used for tensor completion. However, it over-penalizes top singular values and lead to biased estimations. In this paper, we propose to use the nonconvex regularizer, which can less penalize large singular values, instead of the convex one for tensor completion. However, as the new regularizer is nonconvex and overlapped with each other, existing algorithms are either too slow or suffer from the huge memory cost. To address these issues, we develop an efficient and scalable algorithm, which is based on the proximal average (PA) algorithm, for real-world problems. Compared with the direct usage of PA algorithm, the proposed algorithm runs orders faster and needs orders less space. We further speed up the proposed algorithm with the acceleration technique, and show the convergence to critical points is still guaranteed. Experimental comparisons of the proposed approach are made with various other tensor completion approaches. Empirical results show that the proposed algorithm is very fast and can produce much better recovery performance.
A Novel Single-Phase Rectifier Circuit with Sinusoidal Input Current with LC Resonance in Commercial Frequency

For small capacity rectifier circuits such as those for consumer electronics and appliances, capacitor input type rectifier circuits are generally used. Consequently, various harmonics generated within the power system become a serious problem. Various studies of this effect have been presented previously. However, most of these employ switching devices, such as FETs and the like. The absence of switching devices makes systems more tolerant to over-load, and brings low radio noise benefits. We propose a power factor correction scheme using a LC resonant in commercial frequency without switching devices. In this method, It makes a sinusoidal wave by widening conduction period using the current resonance in commercial frequency, Hence, the harmonic characteristics can be significantly improved, where the lower order harmonics, such as the fifth and seventh orders are much reduced. The results are confirmed by the theoretical and experimental implementations.

Exploiting Crowd Knowledge in the IDE

Software development process is a non trivial endeavor. Documentation does not often hold the pace of change of the project, thus lowering the support that developers need to understand the system. To overcome this lack, developers consult other programmers with the hope of getting hints to overcome a problem they encountered, or to gather suggestions about design ideas they have. The research is often extended to online resources, such as tutorials and messaging boards. This practice is defined as crowdsourcing. It is not surprising that nowadays there are online communities in which developers collaborate to solve problems and programming issues or to discuss design ideas. Among the many resources available on the web, Questions & Answer (Q&A) services are gaining popularity (e.g., stackoverflow.com, Yahoo! Answers etc.) and crowdsourcing is becoming an usual practice. Even though the usage of Q&A services has dramatically increased, this new important resource has been scarcely taken advantage of by any Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Interacting with those communities requires developers to continuously switch between the IDE and the web browser to read the discussions and to then perform modification to the code, thus leading to interruptions in the programming flow that lowers the developers’ performance. In this thesis, we present Seahawk, an Eclipse plugin to integrate Stack Overflow crowd knowledge in the IDE. Seahawk allows developers to seamlessly retrieve Q&A from Stack Overflow in the IDE, link relevant discussions to any source code in a collaborative fashion by also attaching explanative comments, and to automatically generate queries from code entities.
Comparison between direct repair and human acellular nerve allografting during contralateral C7 transfer to the upper trunk for restoration of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion

Direct coaptation of contralateral C7 to the upper trunk could avoid the interposition of nerve grafts. We have successfully shortened the gap and graft lengths, and even achieved direct coaptation. However, direct repair can only be performed in some selected cases, and partial procedures still require autografts, which are the gold standard for repairing neurologic defects. As symptoms often occur after autografting, human acellular nerve allografts have been used to avoid concomitant symptoms. This study investigated the quality of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion following direct repair and acellular allografting to evaluate issues requiring attention for brachial plexus injury repair. Fifty-one brachial plexus injury patients in the surgical database were eligible for this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods. Direct repair was performed in 27 patients, while acellular nerve allografts were used to bridge the gap between the contralateral C7 nerve root and upper trunk in 24 patients. The length of the harvested contralateral C7 nerve root was measured intraoperatively. Deltoid and biceps muscle strength, and degrees of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion were examined according to the British Medical Research Council scoring system; meaningful recovery was defined as M3–M5. Lengths of anterior and posterior divisions of the contralateral C7 in the direct repair group were 7.64 ± 0.69 mm and 7.55 ± 0.69 mm, respectively, and in the acellular nerve allografts group were 6.46 ± 0.58 mm and 6.43 ± 0.59 mm, respectively. After a minimum of 4-year follow-up, meaningful recoveries of deltoid and biceps muscles in the direct repair group were 88.89% and 85.19%, respectively, while they were 70.83% and 66.67% in the acellular nerve allografts group. Time to C5/C6 reinnervation was shorter in the direct repair group compared with the acellular nerve allografts group. Direct repair facilitated the restoration of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion. Thus, if direct coaptation is not possible, use of acellular nerve allografts is a suitable option. This study was approved by the Medical Ethical Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, China (Application ID: [2017] 290) on November 14, 2017.
