On the Evolution of ndnSIM
Authors: Mastorakis Spyridon , Afanasyev Alexander , Zhang Lixia
Published: September 2017

As a proposed Internet architecture, Named Data Networking (NDN) takes a fundamental departure from today's TCP/IP architecture, thus requiring extensive experimentation and evaluation. To facilitate such experimentation, we have developed ndnSIM, an open-source NDN simulator based on the NS-3 simulation framework. Since its first release in 2012, ndnSIM has gone through five years of active development and integration with the NDN prototype implementations, and has become a popular platform used by hundreds of researchers around the world. This paper presents an overview of the ndnSIM design, the ndnSIM development process, the design tradeoffs, and the reasons behind the design decisions. We also share with the community a number of lessons we have learned in the process.

Published: September 2017

Prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains poor. To identify shared and selective vulnerabilities of basal-like TNBC, the most common TNBC subtype, a directed siRNA lethality screen was performed in 7 human breast cancer cell lines, focusing on 154 previously identified dependency genes of 1 TNBC line. Thirty common dependency genes were identified, including multiple proteasome and RNA splicing genes, especially those associated with the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex (e.g., PRPF8, PRPF38A). PRPF8 or PRPF38A knockdown or the splicing modulator E7107 led to widespread intronic retention and altered splicing of transcripts involved in multiple basal-like TNBC dependencies, including protein homeostasis, mitosis, and apoptosis. E7107 treatment suppressed the growth of basal-A TNBC cell line and patient-derived basal-like TNBC xenografts at a well-tolerated dose. The antitumor response was enhanced by adding the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Thus, inhibiting both splicing and the proteasome might be an effective approach for treating basal-like TNBC.

Authors: Mouaffak Fayçal , Leite Claudio , Hamzaoui Sonia , Benyamina Amine , Laqueille Xavier , Kebir Oussama
Published: September 2017

Introduction: Broadly defined behavioral addiction is a conceptual framework including behaviors characterized by loss of control and continuation despite significant negative consequences. Broadly defined behavioral addictions share many similarities with substance use disorders. As naltrexone is one of the most studied treatment for substance use disorders, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCT) assessing the effectiveness of naltrexone in the treatment of broadly defined behavioral addictions. Method: We conducted a literature search and selection, up to January 1, 2017, according to previously set inclusion criteria. The selected trials underwent a quality assessment before data extraction and statistical analysis, which used fixed and random effects models. Standardized mean differences (SMD) were calculated using Hedge's adjusted g. Results: A total of 6 RCTs (n = 356) were included. Of these, 3 assessed naltrexone effectiveness in the treatment of pathological gambling, and 3 tested its benefits in broadly defined behavioral addictions other than pathological gambling (kleptomania, trichotillomania, and impulsive compulsive disorders). The meta-analysis of the whole sample resulted in a statistically significant score improvement under naltrexone versus placebo (fixed effect model: SMD = -0.27, 95% CI [-0.51 to -0.03], z = 2.23; p = 0.025). Conclusion: The results of our meta-analysis suggest a beneficial effect of naltrexone in the treatment of broadly defined behavioral addictions.
The Intellectual Legacy of Progressive Economics: A Review Essay of Thomas C. Leonard's Illiberal Reformers
Authors: Steinbaum Marshall I. , Weisberger Bernard A.
Published: September 2017

Thomas Leonard's 2016 book Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics, and American Economics in the Progressive Era argues that exclusionary views on eugenics, race, immigration, and gender taint the intellectual legacy of progressive economics and economists. This review essay reconsiders that legacy and places it in the context within which it developed. While the early generations of scholars who founded the economics profession in the United States and trained in its departments did indeed hold and express retrograde views on those subjects, those views were common to a broad swath of the intellectual elite of that era, including the progressives' staunchest opponents inside and outside academia. Moreover, Leonard anachronistically intermingles a contemporary critique of early-twentieth-century progressive economics and the progressive movement writ large, serving to decontextualize those disputes—a flaw that is amplified by the book's unsystematic approach to reconstructing the views and writing it attacks. Notwithstanding the history Leonard presents, economists working now nonetheless owe their progressive forebears for contributions that have become newly relevant: the “credibility revolution,” the influence of economic research on policy and program design, the prestige of economists working in and providing advice to government agencies and policy makers, and the academic freedom economists enjoy in modern research-oriented universities are all a part of that legacy.

Censorship in Spain and Portugal of Spanish Films (1968–1974): A Comparative Perspective
Authors: Morais Ana Bela
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Through an examination of the censorship reports made by the relevant authorities in Spain and Portugal between 1968 and 1974, I intend to study and compare the way that films from Spain were censored in those two Iberian countries during the last period of their respective dictatorships.For Portugal, the present investigation is based on a study of the archives of the Secretaria de Estado da Informação e Turismo (SEIT). All the information produced by the Comissão de Exame e Classificação de Espectáculos, the section of SEIT which was responsible for the censorship of films under the Estado Novo, is to be found in the relevant section of the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (ANTT), in Lisbon.For the Spanish material, the study is based on the Expedientes de censura [censorship files] that can be found in the Archivo General de la Administración, in Alcalá de Henares. For Spain I also draw on the survey and analysis provided by Teodoro González Ballesteros (Aspectos jurídicos de la censura cinematográfica en España. Con especial referencia al período 1936–1977, 1981).Through an analysis of the censored Spanish filmography in Marcello Caetano’s and Francisco Franco’s time, I aim to contribute to an understanding of the way the Censorship Commissions operated in each country. What, for example, were the most censored topics, thematically? This study may lead to a broader understanding of mentalities in Portuguese and Spanish history.

This paper explain the role of state in ecological aspects in the forming of socio economis dynamics in upland Pemalang District, especially in migration dynamic, the expansion and constriction of labours, and their negotiation to the ecological changes. So far, many scholars set out the demographic problems by the issues of poverty, inequality resources, increase of population, labour surplus, and so on. This causal explanation was lack in question on what kind of possibilities force those problems happened. The research has been done in the upland of Watukumpul, Pemalang, Central Java, try to understand how the upland demographical dynamics situated by political-economic and ecological forces. This area is suitable because of vast spreading in changing of farming system: from rice and glagah cultivation to cash crop of Albasia through the reforestation programs and Green campaign. By using quantitative and qualitative method and political ecology aproaches. I assume that the ecological changes are forced and situated by political economic state interventions through policies and environmental condition which both farmer and state negotiation be possible. The result show, there was a changing to develop the new rural econonomic (new plantation) and migration pattern as a part of farmer strategies concerning to the econ omic opportunities and state intervention through reforestation programs. These choices imply to the changing of farmers daily rutinities and their household production.Keyword: Demography, Political Ecology, Economic and Environmental Change, Farmer Strategies, Migration Pattern
FERTILITAS MENURUT ETNIS DI INDONESIA: ANALISIS DATA SENSUS PENDUDUK 2010
Authors: Raharja Mugia Bayu
Published: September 2017

Indonesia is known as a country that has the largest ethnic groups in the world with 1,128 ethnic groups as reported on the 2010 Population Census. Ethnic diversity is one of the important factors that determine the amount and distribution of the population in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine variations and patterns of fertility by ethnic groups in Indonesia and its association with their socioeconomic characteristics. By using the 2010 Population Census raw data that obtained from the IPUMS website, this study calculated the average number of children born alive born to ever married women aged 15-49. The results show a relationship between fertility and ethnic groups. Among fifteen major ethnic groups analyzed in this study, Batak ethnic has the highest fertility rate followed by Acehnese and Bantenese, while ever married Maduranese women have the lowest fertility rate. The high level of fertility in some of the major ethnic groups in Indonesia is associated with the desire to have many children, the low age at first marriage of women, and the existed perception that those with many children would get higher social value. Low level of education and rural residential areas also contribute to high fertility rates.
Fast scans on key-value stores
Authors: Pilman Markus , Bocksrocker Kevin , Braun Lucas , Marroquín Renato , Kossmann Donald
Published: September 2017

Key-Value Stores (KVS) are becoming increasingly popular because they scale up and down elastically, sustain high throughputs for get/put workloads and have low latencies. KVS owe these advantages to their simplicity. This simplicity, however, comes at a cost: It is expensive to process complex, analytical queries on top of a KVS because today's generation of KVS does not support an efficient way to scan the data. The problem is that there are conflicting goals when designing a KVS for analytical queries and for simple get/put workloads: Analytical queries require high locality and a compact representation of data whereas elastic get/put workloads require sparse indexes. This paper shows that it is possible to have it all, with reasonable compromises. We studied the KVS design space and built TellStore, a distributed KVS, that performs almost as well as state-of-the-art KVS for get/put workloads and orders of magnitude better for analytical and mixed workloads. This paper presents the results of comprehensive experiments with an extended version of the YCSB benchmark and a workload from the telecommunication industry.
Upsortable

Published: September 2017

Top-k queries over data streams is a well studied problem. There exists numerous systems allowing to process continuous queries over sliding windows. At the opposite, non-append only streams call for ad-hoc solutions, e.g. tailor-made solutions implemented in a mainstream programming language. In the meantime, the
Stream
API and lambda expressions have been added in Java 8, thus gaining powerful operations for data stream processing. However, the Java
Collections Framework
does not provide data structures to safely and conveniently support sorted collections of evolving data. In this paper, we demonstrate Upsortable, an annotation-based approach that allows to use existing sorted collections from the standard Java API for dynamic data management. Our approach relies on a combination of pre-compilation abstract syntax tree modifications and runtime analysis of bytecode. Upsortable offers the developer a safe and time-efficient solution for developing top-k queries on data streams while keeping a full compatibility with standard Java.
QUIS

Published: September 2017

Existing data integration frameworks are poorly suited for the special requirements of scientists. To answer a specific research question, often, excerpts of data from different sources need to be integrated. The relevant parts and the set of underlying sources may differ from query to query. The analyses also oftentimes involve frequently changing data and exploratory querying. Additionally, The data sources not only store data in different formats, but also provide inconsistent data access functionality. The classic Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) approach seems too complex and time-consuming and does not fit well with interest and expertise of the scientists.

With QUIS (QUery In-Situ), we provide a solution for this problem. QUIS is an open source heterogeneous in-situ data querying system. It utilizes a federated query virtualization approach that is built upon plugged-in adapters. QUIS takes a user query and transforms appropriate portions of it into the corresponding computation model on individual data sources and executes it. It complements the segments of the query that the target data sources can not execute. Hence, it guarantees full syntax and semantic support for its language on all data sources. QUIS's in-situ querying facility almost eliminates the time to prepare the data while maintaining a competitive performance and steady scalability.

The present demonstration illustrates interesting features of the system: virtual Schemas, heterogeneous joins, and visual query results. We provide a realistic data processing scenario to examine the system's features. Users can interact with QUIS using its desktop workbench, command line interface, or from any R client including RStudio Server.
The data center under your desk
Authors: Lehner Wolfgang
Published: September 2017

While we are already used to see more than 1,000 cores within a single machine, the next processing platforms for database engines will be heterogeneous with built-in GPU-style processors as well as specialized FPGAs or chips with domain-specific instruction sets. Moreover, the traditional volatile as well as the upcoming non-volatile RAM with capacities in the 100s of TBytes per machine will provide great opportunities for storage engines but also call for radical changes on the architecture of such systems. Finally, the emergence of economically affordable, high-speed/low-latency interconnects as a basis for rack-scale computing is questioning long-standing folklore algorithmic assumptions but will certainly play an important role in the big picture of building modern data management platforms. In this talk, we will try to classify and review existing approaches from a performance, robustness, as well as energy efficiency perspective and pinpoint interesting starting points for further research activities.

Published: September 2017

During the last decades, The Middle Draa Valley (Southeast of Morocco) was subjected to various environmental problems which haves caused land degradation especially in the south of the Middle Draa (M’hamid oasis). This study aims to analyze the spatiotemporal changes of vegetation in the M’hamid oasis. Based on the Landsat images belonging to six separate periods during 1984 to 2016 and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques, the pattern of spatiotemporal changes of vegetation cover in M’hamid oasis was analyzed based to visual interpretation and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and supervised classified. For easier understanding of the causes and origins of these changes, we exploited statistical data survey from various local administrations (climatological, socio-economic data) and fieldworks. The results show that the total area of the oasis showed an oscillating decrease between 1984-1999 compared to 1999-2013 and a sharp increase after 2003 to 2007 and a moderate decrease from 2003 to 2016, with an area 3 times smaller than the initial date (loss of 22% of oasis area), correlated with a reduction of the habitants (loss of 21% between 1980 and 2016). Mass tourism, construction of the Mansour Eddahbi dam and the irregularities of the rains and the succession of years of drought led to a modification of the oasis ecosystem. Due to these climatic conditions, the oasis population are obliged to emigration thus they leave their fields which are threatened by sand encroachments, therefore accelerating the phenomenon of sand movements and consequently desertification.

Published: September 2017

This study investigates the carbonization of flamboyant pod bark (FPB) for the purpose of production of effective activated carbon from the agricultural residue. Central Composite Design (CCD) under the Response Surface Methodology was employed to combine the selected process parameters [Temperature (300 - 600 0C) and Time (30 - 65 mins)] for the carbonization. FPB were collected within the fields of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, mechanically cracked, crushed, washed with distilled water and sun-dried for seven days before eventually subjecting to carbonization, after which the resultant yields were determined and the statistical analysis was evaluated. The maximum (45.45%) and minimum (11.82%) yields were obtained at Run 1 (3000C/30 mins) and Run 11 (6000C/ 65 mins). The quadratic model equation is given as Yield = 23.27 - 3.48A - 4.38B - 2.81A2 + 0.19B2 + 0.11AB and the R2 value for the model equation is 0.9705 while the adjusted as well as predicted R2 values are 0.9459 and 0.8578, respectively. The numerical optimization by the Design Expert (6.0.8) software suggested minimum yield of 12.89%, (600 0C/ 65 mins) at desirability of 0.941. This research has indicated the suitability of using CCD for the optimization of process parameters for the carbonization of Flamboyant Pod Bark.

In order to combat the vectors of malaria, it is necessary to know their behavior with regard to the insecticide products envisaged. The present study is aimed at the CNSL efficiency test extracted from the seed hull of Anacardium occidentale L. for the control of pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae s.l. Sensitivity tests were carried out on the larvae of stages 2, 3 and 4 of An. gambiae of the wild and Kis-kdr strains carrying the Kdr gene. The "Kisumu" strain devoid of resistance gene served as a control. The mortalities were read after 24 hours of exposure. LD50 and DL90 were determined using the log-probit method of dose determination corresponding to a proportion. The high LD50 determined is 0.0042 mg / ml and corresponds to the LD50 of the larvae of stage 2 of the wild strain. The low LD50 is determined on stage 2 larvae "Kisumu". The high DL90 is determined on stage 4 larvae of the wild strain. The low LD90 determined corresponds to stage 2 larvae "Kisumu". The comparison of the LD between the different strains shows a low sensitivity to CNSL of the larvae of resistant strains compared to the control strain, indicating the influence of the resistance factor kdr on the CNSL efficiency. However, the low-dose CNSL larvicidal activity on the larvae of the kdr-carrying strains provides an alternative advantage in the management of vector resistance to pyrethroids

The Measure Method of Complaint Theme Influence in View of Netizens’ Emotional Resonance
Authors: He Jianmin , Tian Dongming , Liu Yezheng
Published: September 2017

On the social network platform, complaints about the public policy formulation and implementation issues arise largely. Through the information aggregation, frequent interaction, word-of-mouth and emotional resonance on online social network, these information will lead to the outbreak of the network complaints. It brings difficulties and challenges in public management. China is under a period of social transformation, and there are various problems and contradictions. Emergency can easily arouse group complaints on online network, and it will lead to network public opinion through inducing social emotional resonance, which is harmful to social security and stability. This paper has built the evaluation index system from four dimensions with complaint text’s quality, transmission timeliness, user interaction degree and emotional resonance excited by emergency. Then, we establish the dynamic influence measure model of online netizens complaint theme based on an entropy weight model. The measure model is proved to be reasonable and effective by the empirical research of Sina Weibo data. The model can effectively solve the measure problem of group complaints influence when the emergencies arouse social emotional resonance. It has important theoretical significance and practical value for public policy decision-maker on listening to online group complaints, understanding public opinion, and making public policy.
Organic Fertilization Enhances Cotton Productivity, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and Soil Nitrogen Fertility under Drip Irrigated Field
Authors: Tao Rui , Wakelin Steven A. , Liang Yongchao , Chu Guixin
Published: September 2017

Core Ideas

The effect of partially substituting mineral fertilizer with organic material was analyzed.

Organic fertilizer significantly increased cotton productivity and nitrogen use efficiency.

Bio‐fertilizer produced greater improvements in soil N fertility than did cattle manure.

Cotton yields were highest with 6.0 Mg ha–1 bio‐fertilizer plus 60% mineral fertilizer.

Organic fertilization is a sustainable practice in drip‐irrigated cotton fields.

The objective of this study was to explore how partially substituting mineral fertilizer (MF) with organic fertilizer (cattle manure [CM] and biofertilizer [BF]) affects the cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) productivity, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and soil nitrogen status of a drip‐irrigated system. A field trial for two consecutive years was established, and 3.0 to 6.0 Mg ha−1 of organic fertilizer, either as CM or BF, plus 60 to 80% MF was applied. The results indicated that cotton productivity, including the aboveground biomass and seed cotton yield, was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in both 2013 and 2014 compared with the MF treatment. The greatest biomass (20.9 Mg ha−1) and seed cotton yield (7.43 Mg ha−1) were obtained in the treatment incorporating 60% MF and 6.0 Mg ha−1 BF. Cotton plant N concentration, cotton N uptake, and NUE in the organic fertilizer treatments were higher than those in the MF treatment in the 2 yr tested. Moreover, the supplementation of MF with either CM or BF had a positive effect on the soil N indicators (i.e., total soil N, NH4+−N, NO3−−N, and microbial biomass N) compared with the treatment with MF alone. Our findings suggest that the partial substitution of MF with organic fertilizers may represent a pragmatic approach to sustaining soil N levels, promoting cotton productivity, and improving NUE in a drip‐irrigated system.

Role of Dissolved Organic Matter in the Release of Chromium from Schwertmannite: Kinetics, Repartition, and Mechanisms
Authors: Xie Yingying , Lu Guining , Ye Han , Yang Chengfang , Yi Xiaoyun , Dang Zhi
Published: September 2017

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important factor influencing mineral biogeochemistry, although the role of labile DOM in the release of chromium (Cr) from schwertmannite, a mineral with high surface area, is unclear. In this study, the interaction of DOM with synthetic CrO42−–schwertmannite was investigated to better understand the potential fate of Cr in high‐DOM environments. Minerals and their products were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Experiments were conducted at pH 3.2 or 6.5 for different lengths of time, with a shrinking core model developed to describe kinetic processes. The concentration of total Cr in solution reached a maximum when the pH was 6.5 and the concentration of L‐tryptophan was 5 mM. The newly formed minerals were confirmed to be mixtures involving residual schwertmannite, goethite, ferrihydrite, and jarosite. A possible mechanism is proposed to be a ligand‐controlled binary system, accompanied by possible reduction at acidic pH conditions (3.2), including mass transfer and charge transfer processes. This study gives a new perspective for understanding the reactivity and stability of schwertmannite in the environment; it also provides some predictions on the mobility and fate of Cr. These findings will help design remediation strategies for Cr contamination.

Core Ideas

The effects of various factors on release of Cr by DOM were considered.

A possible mechanism for the release of Cr from schwertmannite was proposed.

The time‐dependent product formation has been identified.

Core Ideas

Thermal desorption is used to remediate contaminated soil.

Thermal desorption can alter Gibb's free energies.

Thermal desorption at 350°C did not change cation selectivity.

Thermal desorption (TD) remediates hydrocarbon‐contaminated soil by heating the soil (200–500°C) to volatilize the hydrocarbons, effectively removing the contaminant from the soil. Knowledge of the effects of TD on remediated soil for agricultural crop production are limited, but cation exchange capacity (CEC) and selectivity for cations can be good indicators of plant productivity potential. In this study, the CEC and selectivity of cations of TD‐treated and untreated topsoil and subsoil were compared using binary exchange measurements of Ca–Mg, Ca–K, and Mg–K. The tested soils were illite and smectite‐dominated Mollisols that were collected near an active TD‐remediation site in northwest North Dakota. Vanselow selectivity coefficients and Gibb's free energies (ΔGex) were computed. For all three exchanges, significant differences were observed in ΔGex between the untreated and TD‐treated topsoil. In the Ca–Mg exchange, both the untreated and TD‐treated topsoil preferred Ca, whereas both TD‐treated and untreated subsoils preferred Mg. For the Ca–K and Mg–K exchanges, all treatments preferred K. Cation exchange capacity values were significantly greater in the untreated subsoil of the Ca–Mg exchange and the untreated topsoil and subsoil of the Ca–K exchange than in the TD‐treated soils. The differences may be caused by contrasts in soil organic C and mineralogy. Although CEC and ΔGex differed between untreated and TD‐treated soils, the cation selectivities were not altered, suggesting that the magnitude of the differences may not require alternative fertility management to retain previous soil productivity.
TEKS-TEKS KEISLAMAN DALAM KAJIAN FEMINISME MUSLIM: Telaah Metodologis atas Pandangan Feminis Muslim terhadap Penciptaan dan Kepemimpinan Perempuan

Islam diyakini sebagai agama yang rahmatan lil ‘alamin, yaitu agama yang menebarkan rahmat bagi alam semesta. Salah satu bentuk dari rahmat tersebut adalah pengakuan Islam terhadap keutuhan ke­manusiaan perempuan yang setara dengan laki-laki. Islam tidak memberikan keutamaan kepada jenis kelamin tertentu. Namun ajaran Islam ten­tang relasi gender yang de­mikian ideal itu tidak ter­imple­mentasikan dengan baik. Praktik masyarakat Islam dalam relasi gender ini masih sangat distortif dan bias, hal ini disebabkan karena pemahaman yang sangat harfiyah terhadap teks-teks agama.

The classical model of dynamic programming in determining the economical lot size  of orders generally considers the cost of orders and inventory costs. However, firms are often confronted with the situation of determining the number of economic orders if the seller gives incremental discounts to the buyer and limits the warehouse capacity. In this paper, explains the model of determining lot order by considering discount and limitation of warehouse capacity with dynamic program. The dynamic program model is compared with the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model considering the discount and the limitation of warehouse capacity. The comparison result shows that dynamic programming model can minimize total inventory cost compared to EOQ.

Published: September 2017

A empresa de grupo ou plurissocietária constitui a forma organizativa típica da grande empresa do nosso tempo: fenómeno multidisciplinar, o grupo ganhou a sua relevância própria no domínio jurídico-contabilistico através da consolidação das contas. Prática universal no direito comparado moderno, cujas raízes históricas remontam já aos inícios do séc. XX, a consolidação das contas também acolhida pelo legislador português (arts. 508.°-A a 508.º-F do Código das Sociedades Comerciais) designa genericamente o conjunto de operações contabilísticas que visam proceder à agregação das contas individuais das empresas pertencentes a um grupo, mediante o adicionamento dos saldos das contas constantes em cada rubrica dos respectivos balanço e demonstração de resultados e após eliminação dos valores correspondentes às operações realizadas entre as sociedades agrupadas.
