Conceptualisation of rights and meta-rule of law for the web of data
Authors: Casanovas Pompeu
Published: March 2017

This article deals with some regulatory and legal problems of the Web of Data. Data and metadata are defined. Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Rights Expression Languages (REL) are introduced. Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL), Licensed Linked Data Resources (LLDR) and Creative Commons Licenses are referred. The development of REL by means of Ontology Design Patterns such as LLDR, or Open Licenses sustained by Policy Models such as ODRL, situates the discussion on metadata at the regulatory level. With the development of the Web of Data the Rule of Law needs to evolve to a Meta-Rule of Law, incorporating tools to regulate and monitor the semantic layer of the Web. This means reflecting on the construction of a new public dimension space for the exercise of rights.

Long-term Changes in the Fish Assemblage in Sandybeach Lake, Northern Ontario, Following the Introduction of Rainbow Smelt (Osmerus mordax)
Authors: Reid Scott M , Wain Duncan B
Published: March 2017

Rainbow Smelt (Osmerus mordax, Mitchill, 1814) has been widely introduced into lakes across North America and are reported to have an adverse effect on native fishes. In this study, we investigated the long-term changes to the pelagic fish assemblage in a northwestern Ontario lake (Sandybeach Lake) after Rainbow Smelt were introduced in the 1980s. We repeated an earlier summer, pelagic gill-netting survey of Sandybeach Lake and a nearby reference lake (Little Vermillion Lake) that does not contain Rainbow Smelt. Fishes throughout the water column were sampled with overnight sets of 5.2-m-deep, multi-mesh horizontal gill-nets. Compared with 1990 pelagic sampling, native fishes were significantly less abundant, less diverse, and largely absent from the deeper parts of Sandybeach Lake in 2012. Cisco (Coregonus artedi, Lesueur, 1818), Emerald Shiner (Notropis atherinoides Rafinesque, 1818), and Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis, Mitchill, 1814) were notably absent in 2012. In contrast, Rainbow Smelt remained abundant at all depths sampled. A small number of ciscoes — including Shortjaw Cisco (Coregonus zenithicus (Jordan and Evermann, 1909)) — and Lake Whitefish were captured from benthic gill-nets. Based on the lack of ciscoes in pelagic gill-nets, the very old ages (mean 30 years) of the few individuals captured in benthic gill-nets, and a severely skewed sex ratio, it is highly likely that ciscoes will be extirpated from Sandybeach Lake. Although the composition of the pelagic fish assemblage differed between years, Cisco was still abundant in Little Vermillion Lake with the presence of young individuals indicating ongoing recruitment.
Observation of an Eastern Wolf (Canis sp. cf. lycaon) Caching Food in a Sphagnum Bog in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario
Authors: Moldowan Patrick D , Kitching Hugo
Published: March 2017

We report summer caching of a partial carcass of a White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawn by an Eastern Wolf (Canis sp. cf. lycaon) in a Sphagnum bog in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. The microhabitat conditions in bogs (i.e., low temperature, acidity, and organochemical compounds) likely inhibit food spoilage, making bogs potentially important sites for food caching. Wolves in Algonquin Park experience low summer food availability and high pup mortality from starvation. Caches likely serve as necessary reserve food stores for adults and pups. Recent research has shown that wetland habitats are important den and rendezvous sites for Algonquin Eastern Wolves based on prey availability and, we suggest, perhaps for food storage and accessibility. This caching behaviour was recorded on video. We recommend that future research investigate Eastern Wolf selection of food-caching sites, as a complement to other spatial ecology studies.

Fish Tales: Local fishing in the Kingdom of Tonga
Authors: Brown Pulu Teena
Published: March 2017

In the small island developing state of Tonga, an archipelago of 176 coral atolls scattered across 664,853 square kilometres of the South Pacific Ocean, power and resourcing differentials dictate which people are permitted to be commercial fishermen and what groups do the subsistence kind, customary fishing.  A handful of Native Tongans engage in commercial exporting.  The tuna industry is dominated by foreign vessels, by foreign countries, that can afford the state fishing license and the operation costs.

The Government of Tonga has confined coastal communities to customary fishing as the sustainable development model, a solution beset with tension.  There is resource scarcity of inshore fishing stock.  When local fishermen are denied access to deep sea commercial fishing their chances at exporting and making profit are limited, tempting some to poach undersized stock and pressure the government to remove conservation sanctions on species at risk of depletion.  What options for livelihood from the sea do coastal communities have?  Related to this, what tensions emerge between the Tongan state and coastal communities wanting to be included in the commercial fishing industry?
Who’s Who in the Zoo: Tonga Election 2014
Authors: Brown Pulu Teena , Pamatatau Richard
Published: March 2017

This paper reflects on fieldwork Teena Brown Pulu and Richard Pamatatau conducted in Tonga on the people’s election and the nobles’ election of November 27th 2014.  Who’s who in the zoo?[i]  Ethnographically speaking we mean what did voters say of the leadership and government needed, and the country’s priorities for moving forward?  Furthermore, how was Tongan “life, liberty and security” made sense of? (United Nations, 1948).  With Democratic Party leader ‘Akilisi Pohiva elected prime minister for the 2014 to 2018 term of government, what was different now?

Written by Teena Brown Pulu with Richard Pamatatau’s fieldwork notes woven in the text, the essay probes two critical interstices.  Why do ethnic Tongans insist the authors can critique Tongan politics and society in ways they cannot for risk they will be rebuked by established canons exerting authority and control over citizens?  Who then in Tonga can disrupt the taken for granted categories of class, culture, and politics, and who cannot?

The Tongan diaspora of New Zealand, Australia, and the United States has invented the observance of village days.  Auckland affiliates to Kolonga, a rural farming settlement in Tonga, held an inaugural village day on October 26th, 2015.  The result generated mixed feelings.  The greater part wanted Kolonga day made a regular celebration.  Others thought the event could be improved.  While some saw the maiden Kolonga day as chaos, which should be reworked to resemble a function less costly and showy, and more down-to-earth and practical.  Why have Tongan village days taken off in diaspora, and will they continue to be bankrolled by generations born overseas?

Kai hea kai hea te pū o te mate? Reclaiming the power of pūrākau
Authors: Pouwhare Robert
Published: March 2017

The pūrākau our ancestors told about the universe and our place within it have been bowdlerised through the process of colonisation. These narratives, as they were transmitted over generations, were transformed by the European settlers, missionaries and educators, from ‘myths’ – oral traditions imbued with the power of the sacred – into ‘fables’ and ‘folktales’. As such, they have largely been neutered of their epistemological power, and their role in sustaining our culture has been substantially diminished. For example, in its original iterations, the ancient story of Māui in which his quest for immortality was foiled by the Tīrairaka contained a fundamental lesson: Māui dies in the act of penetrating Hine-nui-te-pō; from the sex act comes both new life and the sure knowledge of mortality; women are a source of power, life and death. In translation, this story was sanitised; in particular, the description of Māui’s fatal entrance as a lizard into Hine-nui-te-pō’s vagina, were euphemised and displaced, shifted to less controversial body parts. In my paper and presentation, I propose strategies for restoring the power of performance of our pūrākau through the reclamation of the act of storytelling in diverse media. In making new platforms for performing these old stories, we can revitalise the Reo and tikanga, and in so doing reconnect ourselves and our young people to the world that our tīpuna created.
Delivery of a Certified E-mail Service over the Digital Terrestrial Television Platform
Authors: Spinsante Susanna
Published: March 2017

At present, the electronic mail service is probably the most widespread and commonly used asynchronous way ofexchanging information among people, thanks to its immediacy and easiness of use. Information delivered through E-mail can be sensitive or confidential: ensuring the sender’s identity and providing privacy has become a vital step in stopping spam, fraud and even more serious crimes. To this aim, public entities have adopted Certified E-mail systems to manage secure interactions with citizens.Digital Terrestrial Television introduced new facilities in thetraditional broadcasting environment, and determined the transition of several Electronic based-services to Television basedservices. The availability of commercial Set Top Boxes equipped with network interfaces and smart card readers enables the provisioning of personalized interactive TV services, requiring user’s identification and authentication, that still represent open issues in the TV context. In this paper we discuss the challenges of a Certified E-mail service over Digital Terrestrial Television,and present the case study of the Italian Regione Marche, in which this service is under development to support the remote request of certificates issued by the public administration. In particular, our attention is devoted to user authentication and secure access to the administrative services, addressed through the use of a Regional Service Card, an interactive application, and a centralized authentication framework.

Teaching a Large Multi-Level Class Using Different Strategies and Activities to Motivate English Language Learning
Authors: Sevy Julia
Published: March 2017

Many challenges face English language teachers today, but two common problems in Ecuador specifically in universities are large class sizes and multi-level students. These problems can create boredom, anxiety, and over all lack of interest in English language learning. It is shown in this article how to combat these particular problems through various strategies utilized to teach to the students’ needs, help them work together and intrinsically motivate them to learn different English language skills, specifically grammar and sentence structure. These strategies include group work, task-based learning, the inverted or flipped classroom, role-play and intrinsic learning. The author explains how these strategies work in a specific group of university pupils in Ecuador to overcome these specific problems in a classroom, but without student participation they can be flawed.

Absorption, Metabolic Stability, and Pharmacokinetics of Ginger Phytochemicals
Authors: Mukkavilli Rao , Yang Chunhua , Singh Tanwar Reenu , Ghareeb Ahmed , Luthra Latika , Aneja Ritu
Published: March 2017

We have previously demonstrated promising anticancer efficacy of orally-fed whole ginger extract (GE) in preclinical prostate models emphasizing the importance of preservation of the natural “milieu”. Essentially, GE primarily includes active ginger phenolics viz., 6-gingerol (6G), 8-gingerol (8G), 10-gingerol (10G), and 6-shogaol (6S). However, the druglikeness properties of active GE phenolics like solubility, stability, and metabolic characteristics are poorly understood. Herein, we determined the physicochemical and biochemical properties of GE phenolics by conducting in vitro assays and mouse pharmacokinetic studies with and without co-administration of ketoconazole (KTZ). GE phenolics showed low to moderate solubility in various pH buffers but were stable in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, indicating their suitability for oral administration. All GE phenolics were metabolically unstable and showed high intrinsic clearance in mouse, rat, dog, and human liver microsomes. Upon oral administration of 250 mg/kg GE, sub-therapeutic concentrations of GE phenolics were observed. Treatment of plasma samples with β-glucuronidase (βgd) increased the exposure of all GE phenolics by 10 to 700-fold. Co-administration of KTZ with GE increased the exposure of free GE phenolics by 3 to 60-fold. Interestingly, when the same samples were treated with βgd, the exposure of GE phenolics increased by 11 to 60-fold, suggesting inhibition of phase I metabolism by KTZ but little effect on glucuronide conjugation. Correlating the in vitro and in vivo results, it is reasonable to conclude that phase II metabolism seems to be the predominant clearance pathway for GE phenolics. We present evidence that the first-pass metabolism, particularly glucuronide conjugation of GE phenolics, underlies low systemic exposure.
Chemical Synthesis and Characterization of an Equinatoxin II(1–85) Analogue
Authors: Karas John , Sani Marc-Antoine , Separovic Frances
Published: March 2017

The chemical synthesis of an 85 residue analogue of the pore-forming protein, Equinatoxin II (EqtII), was achieved. Peptide precursors with over 40 residues were assembled by solid phase synthesis. The EqtII(1–46) fragment was modified to the reactive C-terminal thioester and native chemical ligation was performed with the A47C mutated EqtII(47–85) peptide to form the EqtII(1–85) analogue. Circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated that the N-terminal domain of EqtII(1–46) and EqtII(1–85) maintains predominantly an α-helical structure in solution and also in the presence of lipid micelles. This demonstrates the feasibility of assembling the full 179 residue protein EqtII via chemical means. Site-specific isotopic labels could be incorporated for structural studies in membranes by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the world. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) plays a significant role in non-invasive diagnosis and prognosis of CAD. However, neither single-photon emission computed tomography nor positron emission tomography clinical MPI agents can absolutely satisfy the demands of clinical practice. In the past decades, tremendous developments happened in the field of 18F-labeled MPI tracers. This review summarizes the current state of 18F-labeled MPI tracers, basic research data of those tracers, and the future direction of MPI tracer research.
Barriers to Increasing Use of Peritoneal Dialysis in Bangladesh: A Survey of Patients and Providers
Authors: Savla Dipal , Ahmed Sweety , Yeates Karen , Matthew Anna , Anand Shuchi
Published: March 2017

Despite a lower requirement for technology and equipment than hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an underutilized modality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Bangladesh has the lowest use of PD in the world (fewer than 2% of prevalent patients). We evaluated nephrologists’ attitudes toward PD and examined differences between patients on HD and PD in Dhaka. We asked nephrologists to fill out an English-language questionnaire. Using convenience sampling but targeting both public and private hospitals in Dhaka, we asked trained nurses to administer a Bangla-language questionnaire to patients on HD ( n = 116) and PD ( n = 41). We validated the questionnaires on a sub-sample (n = 10 for each group). Of the 43 nephrologists surveyed, 27 (63%) had patients on PD. When compared with nephrologists without patients on PD, those with patients on PD were less likely to believe that survival and quality of life on PD was worse than on HD (odds ratio [OR] = 0.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.05 - 0.83 and OR = 0.11, 95% CI 0.02 - 0.67 respectively) but were not more likely to have received training for PD. Nephrologists named cost of PD as the predominant barrier to increasing use of PD, followed by concerns about patient hygiene and lack of trained nurses. Fifty-two HD patients (45%) did not know about a home-based modality. When compared with patients on HD, patients on PD were more likely to have been educated by non-nephrologists about dialysis, to be “forewarned” about the need for dialysis, to be paying fully, and to be living in a permanent home with a non-communal water source. Some barriers to increasing access to PD—i.e., patient living conditions and cost—are unique to LMICs. Our study also highlights that issues encountered in high-income countries—i.e., nephrologists’ subjective preference and lack of patient knowledge about an alternate modality to HD—may play a role as well.
Peritonitis as the First Presentation of Disseminated Listeriosis in a Patient on Peritoneal Dialysis—a Case Report
Authors: Beckerleg Weiwei , Keskar Vaibhav , Karpinski Jolanta
Published: March 2017

Infections with Listeria monocytogenes are uncommon but serious, with mortality rate approaching 30% in cases of systemic involvement despite first-line therapy. They are usually caused by ingestion of contaminated foods, but spontaneous infections have also been described. Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of peritonitis, and most of the published cases are in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. There are a few reported cases of Listeria peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), primarily isolated peritonitis.

If detected early, Listeria peritonitis can be successfully treated with ampicillin, alone or in combination with gentamicin. Vancomycin has been listed as a second-line agent. However, it has been associated with treatment failure.

In this case report, we present a patient who developed disseminated listeriosis, with peritonitis as the first manifestation of disseminated infection. This case illustrates the importance of having a high index of suspicion for L. monocytogenes if patients deteriorate despite empiric therapy for PD-associated peritonitis and serves as a further example demonstrating the inadequate coverage of vancomycin for L. monocytogenes.

The astronomy community has at its disposal a large back catalog of public spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys that can be used for the measurement of luminosity functions (LFs). Utilizing the back catalog with new photometric surveys to maximum efficiency requires modeling the color selection bias imposed on the selection of target galaxies by flux limits at multiple wavelengths. The likelihood derived herein can address, in principle, all possible color selection biases through the use of a generalization of the LF,

, over the space of all spectra: the spectro-luminosity functional,

. It is, therefore, the first estimator capable of simultaneously analyzing multiple redshift surveys in a consistent way. We also propose a new way of parametrizing the evolution of the classic Schechter function parameters, L
⋆ and ϕ
⋆, that improves both the physical realism and statistical performance of the model. The techniques derived in this paper are used in a companion paper by Lake et al. to measure the LF of galaxies at the rest-frame wavelength of

using the Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
Observing Exoplanets with High Dispersion Coronagraphy. I. The Scientific Potential of Current and Next-generation Large Ground and Space Telescopes

Direct imaging of exoplanets presents a formidable technical challenge owing to the small angular separation and high contrast between exoplanets and their host stars. High Dispersion Coronagraphy (HDC) is a pathway to achieve unprecedented sensitivity to Earth-like planets in the habitable zone. Here, we present a framework to simulate HDC observations and data analyses. The goal of these simulations is to perform a detailed analysis of the trade-off between raw star light suppression and spectral resolution for various instrument configurations, target types, and science cases. We predict the performance of an HDC instrument at Keck observatory for characterizing directly imaged gas-giant planets in near-infrared bands. We also simulate HDC observations of an Earth-like planet using next-generation ground-based (TMT) and spaced-base telescopes (HabEx and LUVOIR). We conclude that ground-based ELTs are more suitable for HDC observations of an Earth-like planet than future space-based missions owing to the considerable difference in collecting area. For ground-based telescopes, HDC observations can detect an Earth-like planet in the habitable zone around an M-dwarf star at 10−4 star light suppression level. Compared to the 10−7 planet/star contrast, HDC relaxes the star light suppression requirement by a factor of 103. For space-based telescopes, detector noise will be a major limitation at spectral resolutions higher than 104. Considering detector noise and speckle chromatic noise, R = 400 (1600) is the optimal spectral resolutions for HabEx (LUVOIR). The corresponding star light suppression requirement to detect a planet with planet/star contrast = 

is relaxed by a factor of 10 (100) for HabEx (LUVOIR).
Transiting Planets with LSST. III. Detection Rate per Year of Operation

Published: March 2017

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will generate light curves for approximately 1 billion stars. Our previous work has demonstrated that, by the end of the LSST 10-year mission, large numbers of transiting exoplanetary systems could be recovered using the LSST “deep-drilling” cadence. Here, we extend our previous work to examine how the recoverability of transiting planets over a range of orbital periods and radii evolves per year of LSST operation. As specific example systems, we consider hot Jupiters orbiting solar-type stars and hot Neptunes orbiting K-dwarfs at distances from Earth of several kpc, as well as super-Earths orbiting nearby low-mass M-dwarfs. The detection of transiting planets increases steadily with the accumulation of data over time, generally becoming large (≳10%) after 4–6 years of operation. However, we also find that short-period (≲2 days) hot Jupiters orbiting G-dwarfs and hot Neptunes orbiting K-dwarfs can already be discovered within the first 1–2 years of LSST operation.

We report Very Large Array observations at 7 mm, 9 mm, and 3 cm toward the pre-transitional disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 169142. These observations have allowed us to study the millimeter emission of this disk with the highest angular resolution so far (0.″12 × 0.″09, or 14 au × 11 au, at 7 mm). Our 7 and 9 mm images show a narrow ring of emission at a radius of ∼25 au tracing the outer edge of the inner gap. This ring presents an asymmetric morphology that could be produced by dynamical interactions between the disk and forming planets. Additionally, the azimuthally averaged radial intensity profiles of the 7 and 9 mm images confirm the presence of the previously reported gap at ∼45 au and reveal a new gap at ∼85 au. We analyzed archival DCO+(3–2) and C18O(2–1) ALMA observations, showing that the CO snowline is located very close to this third outer gap. This suggests that growth and accumulation of large dust grains close to the CO snowline could be the mechanism responsible for this proposed outer gap. Finally, a compact source of emission is detected at 7 mm, 9 mm, and 3 cm toward the center of the disk. Its flux density and spectral index indicate that it is dominated by free–free emission from ionized gas, which could be associated with the photoionization of the inner disk, an independent object, or an ionized jet.
The Thermal Proximity Effect: A New Probe of the He ii Reionization History and Quasar Lifetime

Published: March 2017

Despite decades of effort, the timing and duration of He ii reionization and the properties of the quasars believed to drive it are still not well constrained. We present a new method to study both via the thermal proximity effect—the heating of the intergalactic medium (IGM) around quasars when their radiation doubly ionizes helium. We post-process hydrodynamical simulations with 1D radiative transfer and study how the thermal proximity effect depends on the He ii fraction,

, which prevailed in the IGM before the quasar turned on, and the quasar lifetime

. We find that the amplitude of the temperature boost in the quasar environment depends on

, with a characteristic value of

, whereas the size of the thermal proximity zone is sensitive to

, with typical sizes of

for

. This temperature boost increases the thermal broadening of H i absorption lines near the quasar. We introduce a new Bayesian statistical method based on measuring the Lyα forest power spectrum as a function of distance from the quasar, and demonstrate that the thermal proximity effect should be easily detectable. For a mock data set of 50 quasars at

, we predict that one can measure

to an (absolute) precision

and

to a precision of

dex. By applying our formalism to existing high-resolution Lyα forest spectra, one should be able to reconstruct the He ii reionization history, providing a global census of hard photons in the high-z universe.
Importance of Cross-redistribution in Scattering Polarization of Spectral Lines:The Cases of 3P−3S Triplets of Mg i and Ca i
Authors: Sampoorna M. , Nagendra K. N.
Published: March 2017

Scattering on a multi-level atomic system has dominant contributions from resonance and Raman scattering. While initial and final levels are the same for resonance scattering, they are different for Raman scattering. The frequency redistribution for resonance scattering is described by the usual partial frequency redistribution functions of Hummer, while that for Raman scattering is described by cross-redistribution (XRD) function. In the present paper, we investigate the importance of XRD on linear polarization profiles of 3P−3S triplets of Mg i and Ca i formed in an isothermal one-dimensional atmosphere. We show that XRD produces significant effects on the linear polarization profiles when the wavelength separations between the line components of the multiplet are small, like in the cases of Mg i b and Ca i triplets.
The Geometry and Origin of Ultra-diffuse Ghost Galaxies
Authors: Burkert A.
Published: March 2017

The geometry and intrinsic ellipticity distribution of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDG) is determined from the line-of-sight distribution of axial ratios q of a large sample of UDGs, detected by Koda et al. in the Coma cluster. With high significance, the data rules out an oblate, disk-like geometry, characterized by major axes a = b > c. The data is, however, in good agreement with prolate shapes, corresponding to a = b < c. This indicates that UDGs are not thickened, rotating, axisymmetric disks, puffed up by violent processes. Instead, they are anisotropic elongated cigar- or bar-like structures, similar to the prolate dwarf spheroidal galaxy population of the Local Group. The intrinsic distribution of axial ratios of the Coma UDGs is flat in the range of 0.4 ≤ a/c ≤ 0.9 with a mean value of

. This might provide important constraints for theoretical models of their origin. Formation scenarios that could explain the extended prolate nature of UDGs are discussed.
