Cell BE and Bluetooth applied to Digital TV

This paper presents the results of a research in progress about a system for multiple users' behavior analysis and program recommendation for digital TV called SmarTV. The research explores a multi-user's behavior analysis and program recommendation using Bluetooth cell phones and a Playstation 3 working as a set-top box connected to a digital TV network with return channel or an IPTV network. Supposing that every viewer has a Bluetooth enabled cell phone, each mobile will identify one spectator to the set-top box wirelessly. Since the set-top box used is a Playstation 3, it is a full computer with IBM Cell BE processor capable of executing computer-intensive algorithms. This device was used to store the history of programs watched by every person near the TV connected to the set-top box, and to identify their profile and preferences using data mining algorithms. The program recommendation system is a hybrid of a content-based approach with a collaborative approach using a rate system, and uses the k-Means and k-NN data mining algorithms modified to explore the Cell BE features.
A COMPLEX VARIABLE MESHLESS MANIFOLD METHOD FOR FRACTURE PROBLEMS

Based on the complex variable moving least-squares (CVMLS) approximation and the finite cover theory, the complex variable meshless manifold method (CVMMM) for fracture problems is presented in this paper. The CVMMM employs two cover systems which are the mathematical cover system and the physical cover system. The shape function in the CVMMM is derived with the CVMLS approximation and the finite cover theory. The finite cover theory is used to model cracks which lead to interior discontinuous displacements. At the tip of a crack of a problem, we use the analytical solution near the tip of a crack to extend the trial function of the CVMMM, then the corresponding approximation function is obtained. From the minimum potential energy principle, the corresponding formulae of the CVMMM for fracture problems are presented. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the method in this paper.
Low-dose unenhanced computed tomography for diagnosing stone disease in obese patients

To evaluate the detectability, size, location and density of urinary stones with unenhanced computed tomography (CT), using the half-radiation (low) dose (LDCT) technique, compared with the standard-dose CT (SDCT), in obese patients.The study included 50 patients with a body mass index of >30 kg/m(2) and bilateral renal stones diagnosed with SDCT, and managed on one side. All the patients had LDCT during the follow-up and SDCT was used as a reference for comparison.Of the 50 patients, the right side was affected in 27 and the left side in 23. In all, 35 patients had a single stone while the remaining 15 had multiple stones. With SDCT, 95 stones were detected; there were 45 of ⩽5 mm, 46 of 6-15 mm and only four of >15 mm. LDCT barely detected three stones of <3 mm, compared with SDCT, while larger stones had the same appearance at both scans. The site of stone in the kidney or the ureter did not affect its detection on LDCT vs. SDCT. The mean stone diameter was identical in both techniques. At LDCT, all stones were detected with no difference in their number, location or density vs. SDCT. However, the tube current and radiation dose were significantly lower with LDCT.In obese patients with stone disease, LDCT is as accurate as SDCT, while avoiding exposure of the patient to high-dose radiation.

Effects of Adsorbed F, OH, and Cl Ions on Formaldehyde Adsorption Performance and Mechanism of Anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets with Exposed {001} Facets

Formaldehyde (HCHO), as the main indoor air pollutant, is highly needed to be removed by adsorption or catalytic oxidation from the indoor air. Herein, the F(-), OH(-), and Cl(-)-modified anatase TiO2 nanosheets (TNS) with exposed {001} facets were prepared by a simple hydrothermal and post-treatment method, and their HCHO adsorption performance and mechanism were investigated by the experimental analysis and theoretical simulations. Our results indicated that the adsorbed F(-), OH(-), and Cl(-) ions all could weaken the interaction between the HCHO and TNS surface, leading to the serious reduction of HCHO adsorption performance of TNS. However, different from F(-) and Cl(-) ions, OH(-) ion could induce the dissociative adsorption of HCHO by capturing one H atom from HCHO, resulting in the formation of one formyl group and one H2O-like group. This greatly reduced the total energy of the HCHO adsorption system. Thus, the adsorbed OH(-) ions could provide the additional active centers for HCHO adsorption. As a result, the NaOH-treated TNS showed the best HCHO adsorption performance mainly because its surface F(-) was replaced by OH(-). This study will provide new insight into the design and fabrication of high performance adsorbents for removing indoor HCHO and, also, will enhance the understanding of the HCHO adsorption mechanism.
OP0039 Increased porosity in hand bones is strongly associated with distal radius fracture in elderly women

Background Distal radius fracture (fx) is one of the most common osteoporotic fx. Osteoporosis defined as T-score ≤-2.5 SD at spine and/or hip assessed by Dual Energy X-ray (DXA) has been identified as an independent risk factor for distal radius fx [1]. However, a large proportion of fragility distal radius fx occur in patients (∼68%) with T-score > -2.5 [2]. Assessment of bone structure e.g. cortical porosity may improve identification of individuals at high risk of fx [3]. Digital X-ray Radiogrammetry (DXR) used for quantitative measurement of metacarpal cortical hand bone mineral density (BMD) has been shown to predict distal radius fx [4]. This method also provides a quantitative measure of porosity. Objectives To explore the association between increased cortical hand porosity assessed by DXR and risk of distal radius fx in elderly women. Methods In this prospective case control study, women with distal radius fx (>50 years) were consecutively recruited from a community hospital. Age-matched controls were randomly identified in the national registry for the same catchment area and invited by mail. A hand radiograph from the non-dominant arm was used for DXR assessment and measurements included: BMD, porosity, cortical thickness and bone width. BMD at lumbar spine (L2-4) and femoral neck was measured by DXA. Statistical tests were applied using SPSS. Results No significant difference was observed between the 114 distal radius fx patients and the 156 controls for age (67.7 vs 67.2 years, p=0.7), height (164.9 vs 163.8cm, p=0.1) or weight (68.9 vs 71.5 kg, p=0.1) nor for smoking, exercise, use of vitamin-D, bisphosphonates, estrogen or glucocorticoids. BMD was significantly reduced in fx patients compared with controls both in femoral neck (0.793 vs 0.838 g/cm2, p=0.005) and spine (1.031 vs 1.099 g/cm2, p=0.003) and for DXR hand (0.495 vs 0.522, p=0.003). For the individual components from which DXR BMD is calculated, a significant difference was seen for porosity (0.0124 vs 0.0109, p In a multivariate regression model including variables with p Conclusions Our results suggest cortical bone porosity, a measure of bone structure, to play a major role in increasing distal fracture risk in elderly women.

A method and system facilitate communication between a constellation of satellites and a mobile platform-mounted mobile communicator. The method and system may include the use of a first antenna suited for operation using a first frequency band in a first geographic region and a second antenna suited for operation using either the first or a second frequency band in a second geographic region. The method and system may use a controller to determine which antenna to activate based on one or more of a geographic indicator or a signal indicator. The system used by the method to facilitate the communication may have one or more enclosures over the antennas and controller for mounting to a mobile platform.
Jump-diffusion international asset allocation

We examine international asset allocation with jump-diffusion assets in the presence of risky deviations of exchanges rates from purchasing power parity when investors consume both traded and nontraded goods. We show that adding new jump risks to existing diffusion assets does not alter investors’ original optimal portfolios of diffusion assets, as long as diffusion-risk premia remain unchanged. We also show that hedge portfolios against purchasing power parity deviations are integral parts of optimal portfolios for investors from different countries, and they can be constructed by using foreign and domestic inflation-indexed bonds. Moreover, country-specific demand for risky assets can arise from nontraded-good-specific inflation-rate-differential risks.
Novel Model of Negative Secondary Ion Formation and Its Use To Refine the Electronegativity of Almost Fifty Elements

This study aimed to examine the recently proposed idea that the ionic contribution to atomic bonds is essential in determining the charge state of sputtered atoms. Use was made of negative secondary ion yields reported by Wilson for a large number of elements implanted in silicon and then sputter profiled by Cs bombardment. The derived normalized ion yields (or fractions) P vary by 6 orders of magnitude, but the expected exponential dependence on the electron affinity EA is evident only vaguely. Remarkably, a correlation of similar quality is observed if the data are presented as a function of the ionization potential IP. With IP being the dominant (if not sole) contributor to the electronegativity χ, one is led to assume that P depends on the sum χ + EA. About 72% of the "nonsaturated" ion yields are in accordance with a dependence of the form P ∝ exp[(χ + EA)/ε], with ε ≅ 0.2 eV, provided the appropriate value of χ is selected from the electronegativity tables of Pauling (read in eV), Mulliken or Allen. However, each of the three sources contributes only about one-third to the favorable electronegativity data. This unsatisfactory situation initiated the idea to derive the "true" electronegativity χSIMS from the measured ion yields P(χ + EA), verified for 48 elements. Significant negative deviations of χSIMS from a smooth increase with increasing atomic number are evident for elements with special outer-shell electron configurations such as (n-1)d(g-1)ns(1) or (n-1)d(10)ns(2)np(1). The results strongly support the new model of secondary ion formation and provide means for refining electronegativity data.
Malleability in mediated ideals: a paradigm to understand effects of contemporary media in adolescents’ well-being

MIMIc will develop and establish a new theoretical perspective that will fundamentally redirect the current research on idealised representations of life in mass and social media and their effects on (adolescent) audiences. MIMIc combines insights from cultural sociology, media theory, and developmental psychology to define the effects of ‘malleable ideals’ in media. Malleable ideals are idealised representations of different achievements and are characterised by the malleability that surrounds these achievements; they approach ideals from a utilitarian, individualistic discourse that links personal responsibility and dedication with both the failure and success of achievements. By focusing on malleable ideals and thus applying a sociocultural analysis to media ideals, a crucial perspective will be added to our understanding of the development of adolescents and, more precisely, the pressures they experience. These pressures are viewed as an important factor in the relatively high prevalence of both internalising and externalising problems in adolescence. Content analytical, diary, and longitudinal studies in three different cultural contexts will be triangulated to develop a theoretical model: MIME. Content analyses map the extent to which media abound with aesthetic, sexual, professional, romantic, and social ideals as well as the importance of malleability in these representations. Longitudinal and diary research examine the internalisation of these ideals as a key explanatory process for the effects they may have both on outcomes regarding personal and societal problems and among different groups of adolescents. The multimethod approach further allows the theorisation and testing of the role of varying time intervals associated with understanding the effects of mediated ideals. For this research, the applicant who is experienced in multimethod research on media effects among adolescents will compose and lead a cross-national team of researchers.
Influence of diluent alkyl substitution on the extraction of Am(III) and Eu(III) by a 6,6´-bis(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2´-bipyridine ligand dissolved in alkylated cyclohexanone diluents

Abstract Several alkylated cyclohexanones were investigated as potential diluents for the selective extraction of Am(III) from Eu(III) from nitric acid solutions by the CyMe 4 -BTBP ligand. No significant extraction of either of the metal ions was observed for these diluents themselves. In the extractions from 1 M HNO 3 , 3-methylcyclohexanone and 4-methylcyclohexanone gave comparable results to cyclohexanone whereas in the extractions from 4 M HNO 3 , 2-methylcyclohexanone, 3-methylcyclohexanone and 4-methylcyclohexanone all gave superior results. For the monomethylated diluents, D Am and SF Am/Eu decreased in the order of alkyl substitution 2 &gt; 4 ∼ 3. However, alkyl substitution of cyclohexanone significantly slows down the extraction kinetics compared to cyclohexanone, and the position of alkyl substitution was found to play an important role in the solvents properties. 3-Methylcyclohexanone was identified as the most promising of the diluents.
Guidelines for monitoring and managing plant health emergencies in the forests of the central-western Alps

The forests of the Alpine valleys, including those that cover the slopes at medium-low altitudes, have a multifunctional value and, besides producing timber, guarantee a series of positive externalities, including the maintenance of biodiversity, the hydrogeological protection of the slopes and the maintenance of a pleasant landscape. The project aims to deal synergistically, taking advantage of cross-border skills and experiences, with some of the main phytosanitary emergencies that have occurred in recent years in the forests of the central-western Alps, including the decay of the ash, the pine processionary and the emerging phytosanitary problems affecting the chestnut tree represented by the gall-bladder insect, the mal dell'inchiostro and the pathogenic fungus Gnomoniopsis castaneae. In addition to the definition of monitoring standards, the project includes applied research that will allow for the preparation of guidelines for the management of phytosanitary emergencies.
Cd8+ t cell metabolism in anti-tumor response

Although cancer immunotherapy has achieved significant breakthroughs in recent years that has positioned it as the most promising approach to treat cancer, its overall efficacy remains limited in the majority of patients. Nutrition-deprived conditions at tumor microenvironment poses significant metabolic challenges to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes which may contribute to failure of anti-tumor activity. The main objective of the Immunometabolomics project is to understand metabolism in CD8+ T cells, during active effector T cell development and exhaustion, using approaches that go beyond current research which have been mostly focused on glucose/energy metabolism thus disregarding the relevance of anabolic and redox reactions that are crucial in correct cellular function and proliferation. Open-ended metabolomics and metabolic flux analysis studies, in combination with genetic, nutrition and pharmacological manipulations will be employed to study areas of metabolism that have not been previously extensively studied in CD8+ T cells including 1C metabolism. The characterization of metabolism in CD8+ T cells will be gradually performed in models of higher complexity and physiological and clinical relevance from in vitro, to in vivo in genetically engineered mouse models of lung cancer and finally in lung cancer patients. Through understanding CD8+ T cell metabolism, and its modulation in cancer within tumor microenvironment, we aim to develop a basic science foundation for increasing immunotherapy efficiency in cancer through the use of complementary nutritional and/or metabolism-targeted pharmacological approaches.

Dynamic Power Management in Wireless Sensor Network

This research focuses on reducing or minimizing the power consumption, thereby increasing the network lifetime and also demonstrates a methodology for power consumption evaluation of WSN. The research also analyzes the energy consumption of ad hoc nodes using IEEE 802.11 interfaces; this was achieved using OPNET simulator. The evaluation takes into account the properties of the medium access protocol and the process of forwarding packets in ad hoc mode. The key point is to determine the node lifetime based on its average power consumption. The average power consumption is estimated considering how long the node remains sleeping, idle, receiving or transmitting.
Bacterial community characterization in the soils of native and restored rainforest fragments

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest ("Mata Atlântica") has been largely studied due to its valuable and unique biodiversity. Unfortunately, this priceless ecosystem has been widely deforested and only 10 % of its original area is still untouched. Some projects have been successfully implemented to restore its fauna and flora but there is a lack of information on how the soil bacterial communities respond to this process. Thus, our aim was to evaluate the influence of soil attributes and seasonality on soil bacterial communities of rainforest fragments under restoration processes. Soil samples from a native site and two ongoing restoration fragments with different times of implementation (10 and 20 years) were collected and assayed by using culture-independent approaches. Our findings demonstrate that seasonality barely altered the bacterial distribution whereas soil chemical attributes and plant species were related to bacterial community structure during the restoration process. Moreover, the strict relationship observed for two bacterial groups, Solibacteriaceae and Verrucomicrobia, increasing from the more recently planted (10 years) to the native site, with the 20 year old restoration site in the middle, which may suggest their use as bioindicators of soil quality and recovery of forest fragments being restored.
