Fuming with rage! Do members of low status groups signal anger more than members of high status groups? An eye-tracking study
Authors: Owuamalam Chuma Kevin , Rubin Mark
Published: July 2018

Owuamalam, Weerabangsa, Karunagharan, and Rubin (2016) found that Malaysians associate people in low status group with anger more than their higher status counterparts: the hunchback heuristic. But is this belief accurate? Here, we propose the alternative possibility that members of low-status groups might deliberately suppress anger to counter this stigma, while members of high-status groups might disinhibit their anger to assert their superiority. To test these propositions, we manipulated undergraduate students’ relative group status by leading them to believe that provocative comments about their ingroup came from a professor (low-status condition) or a junior foundation year student (high-status condition). Using eye-tracking, we then measured their gaze durations on the comments, which we used as a physiological signal of anger: dwelling (Experiment 1). Results revealed that dwelling was significantly greater in the high-status condition than in the low-status condition. Experiment 2 conceptually replicated this pattern using a self-report method and found that the suppression-disinhibition effect occurred only when reputational concerns were strong.

Published: July 2018

Rumination is predominantly experienced in the form of repetitive verbal thoughts. Verbal rumination is a particular case of inner speech. According to the Motor Simulation view, inner speech is a kind of motor action, recruiting the speech motor system. In this framework, we predicted an increase in speech muscle activity during rumination as compared to rest. We also predicted increased forehead activity, associated with anxiety during rumination. We measured electromyographic activity over the orbicularis oris superior and inferior, frontalis and flexor carpi radialis muscles. Results showed increased lip and forehead activity after rumination induction compared to an initial relaxed state, together with increased self-reported levels of rumination. Moreover, our data suggest that orofacial relaxation is more effective in reducing rumination than non-orofacial relaxation. Altogether, these results support the hypothesis that verbal rumination involves the speech motor system, and provide a promising psychophysiological index to assess the presence of verbal rumination.
Comparing Patrons’ Renewal Behavior Before and After Implementing More Permissive Loan Rules
Authors: Irwin Ken
Published: July 2018

This article reports on a study of how long library patrons at 28 college and university libraries kept books checked out before and after a policy change allowing for longer circulation periods and more renewals. The behavior of most patrons remained similar before and after the policy change, with only a slight (7–14 day) lengthening of the length of circulation for many patrons. A significant minority of patrons made more extensive use of the longer loan periods, demonstrating the usefulness of the policy change for many users.
Is There Value in Training Scientific Generalists For Positions at the Edge of Academia?
Authors: Sarma Gopal P.
Published: July 2018

Contemporary scientific research faces major cultural and institutional hurdles. Some of the primary challenges include an exploding knowledge base and organizational complexity of many scientific projects, the overproduction of PhDs relative to the availability of faculty positions, and protracted educational trajectories for many aspiring researchers. Perhaps the most serious set of consequences caused by the fierce competition of modern science are low rates of reproducibility in research studies across many disciplines, a startling reality which undermines the scientific process and institutional authority itself. In an increasingly interconnected intellectual world, where fundamental and applied research are deeply interwoven, the implications of this state of affairs extend well beyond the research laboratory. In this article, I explore one possible strategy among the many necessary interventions for addressing these critical global issues, namely, new graduate programs to train scientific generalists. Rather than focus on developing niche technical skills, these programs would train outstanding communicators and decision makers who have been exposed to multiple subjects at the graduate level. The motivation for creating such programs is to introduce a large number of exceptionally trained individuals across all industries and organizations who have been encouraged to think critically about the practical realities and contemporary cultural trends of scientific research. I suggest possible avenues for structuring such programs and examine the roles that generalists might play in the modern research, policy, and industrial landscape.

Published: July 2018

Planar Motion Mechanism (PMM) equipment is a facility generally attached with Towing Tank to perform experimental studies with ship models to determine the manoeuvring characteristics of a ship. Ship model is oscillated at prescribed amplitude and frequency in different modes of operation while it is towed along the towing tank at predefined speed.The hydrodynamic forces and moments are recorded, analyzed and processed to get the hydrodynamic derivatives appearing in the manoeuvring equations of motion of a ship. This paper presents the details about the Horizontal Planar Motion Mechanism (HPMM) equipment which is designed, developed and installed in Towing Tank laboratory at IIT Madras.
The Architect as Producer: Hannes Meyer and the Proletarianisation of the Western Architect
Authors: Djalali Amir
Published: July 2018

With the foundation of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius advocated an end to the division between arts and crafts. Contrary to the idea of architecture as art, the programme of the school aimed to assimilate architecture with industry in order to satisfy collective social needs. Yet, despite this programmatic declaration, such a project was realised only after Gropius’ departure from the Bauhaus, under the controversial directorship (1927–1930) of the Swiss architect Hannes Meyer. Meyer achieved unprecedented success both in terms of academic production and financial performance. Yet his realisations were paralleled by the leftist radicalisation of the school’s politics: Meyer transformed the workshops into factory production units and the students into industrial workers. Eventually, the politicisation of the school cost Meyer his office and a negative reputation in historical records that still holds today. This article posits that Meyer achieved his success at the Bauhaus not despite his radical allegiance, but precisely because of it. The realism of Meyer’s strategy is evaluated through his capacity to anticipate many developments in the organisation of architectural production. In particular, his critique of intellectual labour in architecture is confronted with the contemporary proletarisation of architects in the Western world.
Viruses, bacteria and Hallmarks of Cancer. Self-sufficiency in growth signals.
Authors: Mitin Valentin
Published: July 2018

In 2000, Robert Weinberg and Douglas Hanahan proposed the 6 Hallmarks of Cancer, which are found in most if not all cancers. This article describes how 11 viruses and 8 bacteria may stimulate the development of the first hallmark, self-sufficiency in growth signals. For this, viruses and bacteria either stimulate the synthesis of growth factors in the cell, or activate growth factor receptors, or regulate the expression of a gene involved in the transduction of a signal of cell division initiation from growth factor receptor.
Quantifying the strength of general factors in psychopathology: A comparison of CFA with maximum likelihood estimation, BSEM and ESEM/EFA bi-factor approaches
Authors: Murray Aja Louise , Booth Tom , Eisner Manuel , Obsuth Ingrid , Ribeaud Denis
Published: July 2018

Whether or not importance should be placed on an all-encompassing general factor of psychopathology (or p-factor) in classifying, researching, diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders depends (amongst other issues) on the extent to which co-morbidity is symptom-general rather than staying largely within the confines of narrower trans-diagnostic factors such as internalising and externalising. In this study we compared three methods of estimating p-factor strength. We compared omega hierarchical and ECV calculated from CFA bi-factor models with maximum likelihood (ML) estimation, from ESEM/EFA models with a bifactor rotation, and from BSEM bi-factor models. Our simulation results suggested that BSEM with small variance priors on secondary loadings may be the preferred option. However, CFA with ML also performed well provided secondary loadings were modelled We provide two empirical examples of applying the three methodologies using a normative sample of youth (z-proso, n=1286) and University counselling sample (n= 359).

Considering Attachment and Partner Perceptions in the Prediction of Physical and Emotional Sexual Satisfaction
Authors: Øverup Camilla Stine , Smith Carrie Veronica
Published: July 2018

Introduction. Attachment theory provides a framework for understanding sexual satisfaction; generally, research suggest that attachment anxiety and avoidance are associated with decreased sexual satisfaction. Given their different working models of self and other, perceptions of the partner’s level of satisfaction may differentially influence people’s own perceptions of satisfaction based on their attachment avoidance and anxiety. Aims. Across two studies, we sought to examine the predictive value of attachment anxiety and avoidance, as well as perceptions of partner satisfaction in predicting physical and emotional satisfaction after sexual interactions. Methods. Participants (Study 1 = 52, and Study 2 = 144) completed a one-time survey containing a measure of attachment, and then reported on their physical and emotional sexual satisfaction after each sexual interaction over the course of 2-3 weeks. Main Outcome Measures. The Experiences in Close Relationships Scale-Revised was completed during a one-time survey, ratings of personal physical and emotional sexual satisfaction (Study 1 and 2) as well as perceptions of partner’s physical and emotional satisfaction were completed after sexual interactions (Study 2). Results. Greater attachment avoidance was associated with lesser physical and emotional satisfaction. Moreover, when perceiving the partner to be emotionally satisfied, people with more attachment avoidance reported less emotional satisfaction for themselves. For greater attachment anxiety, greater perceived partner satisfaction (physical and emotional) predicted greater personal satisfaction of both types. Conclusion. The findings support attachment theory as a valuable lens through which to study sexual satisfaction. Moreover, the results suggest that it is important to consider perceptions of partner sexual satisfaction in understanding the sexual satisfaction people who demonstrate attachment anxiety and avoidance.
Have psychologists increased reporting of outliers in response to the reproducibility crisis?

Published: July 2018

Psychology is currently experiencing a "renaissance" where the replication and reproducibility of published reports are at the forefront of conversations in the field. While researchers have worked to discuss possible problems and solutions, work has yet to uncover how this new culture may have altered reporting practices in the social sciences. As outliers and other errant data points can bias both descriptive and inferential statistics, the search for these data points is essential to any analysis using these parameters. We quantified the rates of reporting of outliers and other data within psychology at two time points: 2012 when the replication crisis was born, and 2017, after the publication of reports concerning replication, questionable research practices, and transparency. A total of 2235 experiments were identified and analyzed, finding an increase in reporting from only 15.7% of experiments in 2012 to 25.0% in 2017. We investigated differences across years given the psychological field or statistical analysis that experiment employed. Further, we inspected whether data exclusions mentioned were whole participant observations or data points, and what reasons authors gave for stating the observation was deviant. We conclude that while report rates are improving overall, there is still room for improvement in the reporting practices of psychological scientists which can only aid in strengthening our science.

Effects of sleep deprivation (SD), nicotine, and selenium (Se) on woundhealing were studied in 50 male rats (Sprague-Dawley strain). Fullskin-thickness burns were produced in animals. Then, SD, nicotine, andSe administrations were applied to animals in different groups. Woundhealing was assessed by pathological analysis of wound by countingfibroblasts, capillary vessels, polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PNLs), andby measuring radiolabeled immunoglobulin G (IgG) amount in woundarea by radio-pharmaceutical and immunoscintigraphic procedures. Thenumber of fibroblasts and capillary vessels were higher in control andSe groups than in sleep deprivation and nicotine groups, and the numberof PNLs and the radiolabeled polyvalent IgG levels were higher inSD and nicotine groups than in control and Se groups. The resultssuggest that SD and nicotine may delay wound healing and that Sesupplementation may accelerate wound healing by preventing nicotineinducedoxidative stress and lipid peroxidation.
Very accurate explicit approximations for calculation of the Colebrook friction factor
Authors: Ćojbašić Žarko , Brkić Dejan
Published: July 2018

To date, the Colebrook equation is mostly accepted as an unofficial standard for calculation of the friction factor in turbulent flow through pipes. Unfortunately, the unknown friction factor in the Colebrook equation is given implicitly. Therefore, the implicit Colebrook equation has to be solved in an iterative procedure or using some of the appropriate explicit correlations proposed by many authors. Although the iterative solution is simple and very accurate, it can cause some problems during the calculation of looped network of pipes or similar systems of pipes. Therefore, explicit approximations are favorable in these cases. Up to date, the most accurate approximations have maximal relative error of no more than 0.14% compared to the very accurate iterative solution. Here two explicit approximations are presented, based on already existing models which are improved using genetic algorithms optimization. They are with the maximal relative error of no more than 0.0083% and 0.0026%.

Title: Workshop to Increase the Number of Students at Engineering Study ProgramInterest of prospective students toward engineering courses both in public and private universities keep decreasing. Data shows that only 14% of students choose engineering courses. In smaller scale, in one private university, students interest taking the engineering course are only 25% compared to student interest on taking the social courses. Purpose of this research was to conclude the reasons why student’s interest toward engineering courses are low, and to comprise some proven solutions, related theories, in order to help solving the problems. Method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. Data used comes from new student’s quisionaire, and related data with student’s number studying engineering course in Kopertis III and in the internal of ABC University. Data analysis showed that current engineering courses which have more students, are engineering courses with social senses such as Architecture, Regional Planning, and Design Product. Along with the theory of 4 (four) aspecs behind the popularity of a figure, all caused by the current trend of prospective student’s interest towards the social study attractiveness which leads to problem soving, the existence of success’s public figures, and industry branding. Direct workshop between lecturer and prospective students, and doing open house in the university could be strategies to increase the numbers of prospective student who want to take engineering course.Keywords: lecture, interest, strategy, technique
Humans as Superorganisms: How Microbes, Viruses, Imprinted Genes, and Other Selfish Entities Shape Our Behavior
Authors: Kramer Peter , Bressan Paola
Published: July 2018

Psychologists and psychiatrists tend to be little aware that (a) microbes in our brains and guts are capable of altering our behavior; (b) viral DNA that was incorporated into our DNA millions of years ago is implicated in mental disorders; (c) many of us carry the cells of another human in our brains; and (d) under the regulation of viruslike elements, the paternally inherited and maternally inherited copies of some genes compete for domination in the offspring, on whom they have opposite physical and behavioral effects. This article provides a broad overview, aimed at a wide readership, of the consequences of our coexistence with these selfish entities. The overarching message is that we are not unitary individuals but superorganisms, built out of both human and nonhuman elements; it is their interaction that determines who we are.
Scientific Utopia: II. Restructuring incentives and practices to promote truth over publishability
Authors: Nosek Brian A. , Spies Jeffrey Robert , Motyl Matt
Published: July 2018

An academic scientist’s professional success depends on publishing. Publishing norms emphasize novel, positive results. As such, disciplinary incentives encourage design, analysis, and reporting decisions that elicit positive results and ignore negative results. Prior reports demonstrate how these incentives inflate the rate of false effects in published science. When incentives favor novelty over replication, false results persist in the literature unchallenged, reducing efficiency in knowledge accumulation. Previous suggestions to address this problem are unlikely to be effective. For example, a journal of negative results publishes otherwise unpublishable reports. This enshrines the low status of the journal and its content. The persistence of false findings can be meliorated with strategies that make the fundamental but abstract accuracy motive – getting it right – competitive with the more tangible and concrete incentive – getting it published. We develop strategies for improving scientific practices and knowledge accumulation that account for ordinary human motivations and biases.

An overview of textual semantic similarity measures based on web intelligence
Authors: Martinez-Gil Jorge
Published: July 2018

Computing the semantic similarity between terms (or short text expressions) that have the same meaning but which are not lexicographically similar is a key challenge in many computer related fields. The problem is that traditional approaches to semantic similarity measurement are not suitable for all situations, for example, many of them often fail to deal with terms not covered by synonym dictionaries or are not able to cope with acronyms, abbreviations, buzzwords, brand names, proper nouns, and so on. In this paper, we present and evaluate a collection of emerging techniques developed to avoid this problem. These techniques use some kinds of web intelligence to determine the degree of similarity between text expressions. These techniques implement a variety of paradigms including the study of co-occurrence, text snippet comparison, frequent pattern finding, or search log analysis. The goal is to substitute the traditional techniques where necessary.
An odd-power identity involving discrete convolution

Let be a power function $f_{r,M}(s)$ defined for every $s$ within the finite set $M$ as follows $$f_{r,M}(s)= \begin{cases} s^r, \ &s\in M,\\ 0, \ &\mathrm{otherwise}. \end{cases} $$ Let a discrete convolution of $f_{r,M}(s)$ be denoted as follows $\mathrm{Conv}_{r,M}[n]=(f_{r,M}*f_{r,M})[n]$. Let a real coefficients $A_{m,j}$ be given by the following recurrence $$ A_{m,j} = \begin{cases} 0, & \mathrm{if } \ j<0 \ \mathrm{or } \ j>m, \\ (2j+1)\binom{2j}{j} \sum_{d=2j+1}^{m} A_{m,d} \binom{d}{2j+1} \frac{(-1)^{d-1}}{d-j} B_{2d-2j}, & \mathrm{if } \ 0 \leq j < m, \\ (2j+1)\binom{2j}{j}, & \mathrm{if } \ j=m. \end{cases} $$ In this paper we show that for every $n>0$ the following odd-power identities involving coefficients $A_{m,j}$ and convolution transform $\mathrm{Conv}_{r,M}[n]$ hold $$ \begin{split} n^{2m+1}+1&=\sum_{r=0}^{m}A_{m,r}\mathrm{Conv}_{r,\mathbb{N}}[n],\\ n^{2m+1}-1&=\sum_{r=0}^{m}A_{m,r}\mathrm{Conv}_{r,\mathbb{Z}_{>0}}[n],\\ n^{2m+1}&=\sum_{r=0}^{m}A_{m,r}\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^r(n-k)^r\\ &=\sum_{r=0}^{m}A_{m,r}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} k^r(n-k)^r. \end{split} $$
Errors have been made, others will be blamed: issue engagement and blame shifting in Prime Minister speeches during the economic crisis in Europe
Authors: Traber Denise , Schoonvelde Martijn , Schumacher Gijs
Published: July 2018

In this paper we investigate prime ministers’ communication strategies during the most recent economic crisis in Europe. We argue that when electoral risk is high but governments’ policy options are severely limited, prime ministers will use specific communication strategies to mitigate electoral risks. We analyze two such communication strategies – issue engagement and blame shifting – by applying state-of-the-art quantitative text analysis methods on 5553 speeches of prime ministers in 9 EU member states. We find evidence for both strategies. Prime ministers talk about the economy more in response to both high (domestic) unemployment and low (domestic) GDP growth. Furthermore, we find the (domestic) unemployment rate to be the most consistent predictor of blame shifting: as the domestic unemployment rate goes up, this is followed by an increase in blame shifting towards banks, Greece and the Troika.
The “same bed, different dreams” of Vietnam and China: how (mis)trust could make or break it
Authors: Nguyen Hong-Kong T. , Vuong Quan-Hoang , Ho Tung , Vuong Thu-Trang
Published: July 2018

The relationship between Vietnam and China could be captured in the Chinese expression of “同床异梦”, which means lying on the same bed but having different dreams. The two countries share certain cultural and political similarities but also diverge vastly in their national interests. This paper adds to the extant literature on this topic by analyzing the element of trust/mistrust in their interactions in trade-investment, tourism, and defense-security. The analysis shows how the relationship is increasingly interdependent but is equally fragile due to the lack of trust on both sides. The mistrust or even distrust of Chinese subjects run deep within the Vietnamese mindset, from the skepticism of Chinese investment, Chinese tourists, discrimination against ethnic Chinese, to the caution against Chinese aggression in the South China Sea. The paper forecasts that, despite the deep-seated differences and occasional mistrust, going forward, neither side would risk damaging the status quo even when tensions peak.
Competency Based Medical Education is Wrong for Surgery
Authors: Blinman Thane
Published: July 2018

Competency Based Medical Education CBME has been pushed into place as the dominant paradigm for medical and surgical education. Premised on the notion that medical proficiency can be rendered into predefined observable behaviors, CBME takes an explicitly reductionistic and behaviorist approach to professional education. Unfortunately, this approach is fatally flawed, relying on false premises of human action, employing unworkable methods, and unsupported by empirical data. Deployment of CBME has produced disintegration of surgical training, with loss of technical ability, degradation of professional ownership, and worsening clinical judgment. In contrast, an approach that updates working Halstedian techniques, explicitly favors cognitive integration, and deemphasizes artificial metrics of advancement holds more promise for creating proficient surgeons.
The influence of social stigmas on observers' eye movements
Authors: Hermens Frouke
Published: July 2018

Some social stigmas (facial scars, tattoos) have clear visual cues and eye tracking has shown that such social stigmas influence the eye movements of other people. Other social stigmas (e.g., a mental illness or a criminal record) often lack clear visible cues. The present study investigates whether providing information about such stigmas draws eye movements of observers to the people involved. Participants were presented with video clips and advance information about one of the actors that was either stigmatizing (related to mental health or a criminal past) or non-stigmatizing. The results show that eye movements towards the target actor were not systematically affected by stigmatizing advance information and were not associated with explicit attitudes from questionnaires. Results therefore suggest that stigmas without clear visual cues do not draw attention to or away from the person involved.
Social inequalities in self-rated health in Ukraine in 2007: The role of psychosocial, material and behavioural factors
Authors: Platts Loretta G. , Gerry Christopher J.
Published: July 2018

Background: Despite Ukraine’s large population, few studies have examined social inequalities in health. This study describes Ukrainian educational inequalities in self-rated health and assesses how far psychosocial, material and behavioural factors account for the education gradient in health. Methods: Data were analyzed from the 2007 wave of the Ukrainian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey. Education was categorized as: lower secondary or less, upper secondary and tertiary. In logistic regressions of 5451 complete cases, stratified by gender, declaring less than average health was regressed on education, before and after adjusting for psychosocial, material and behavioural factors. Results: In analyses adjusted for socio-demographic characteristics, compared with those educated up to lower secondary level, tertiary education was associated with lower risk of less than average health for both men and women. Including material factors (income quintiles, housing assets, labour market status) reduced the association between education and health by 55–64% in men and 35–47% in women. Inclusion of health behaviours (physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index) reduced the associations by 27–30% in men and 19–27% in women; in most cases including psychosocial factors (marital status, living alone, trust in family and friends) did not reduce the size of the associations. Including all potential explanatory factors reduced the associations by 68–84% in men and 43–60% in women. Conclusions: The education gradient in self-rated health in Ukraine was partly accounted for by material and behavioural factors. In addition to health behaviours, policymakers should consider upstream determinants of health inequalities, such as joblessness and poverty.
New explicit correlations for turbulent flow friction factor
Authors: Brkić Dejan
Published: July 2018

Two new correlations of single-phase friction factor for turbulent pipe flow are shown in this paper. These two formulas are actually explicit approximations of iterative Colebrook's relation for calculation of flow friction factor. Calculated friction factors are valid for whole turbulent flow including hydraulically smooth and rough pipes with special attention on transient zone of turbulence between them. Hydraulically smooth regime of turbulence does not occur only in total absence of roughness of inner pipe surface, but also, four new relations for this theoretical regime are presented. Some recent formulas for turbulent flow friction calculation are also commented.
May the Real Ubuntu Please Stand Up?
Authors: Mboti Nyasha
Published: July 2018

This article defends an alternative account of ubuntu and makes a novel proposition about African morality and ethics. In doing so, it refutes the normative account of ubuntu premised on the aphorism umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu (persons are persons through other persons). According to this “greatest harmony” account, Africans are harmonic collectivists and sharers, linked together by community-defining conveyor-belts of moral and ethical goodwill “gifts.” It is assumed that an African theory of right action produces harmony and reduces discord. I aver, however, that such a prima facie interpretation, notwithstanding its intuitive appeal, is still open to some rather strong doubt.
Revisiting non-significant effects of intranasal oxytocin using equivalence tests
Authors: Quintana Daniel S
Published: July 2018

The effects of intranasal oxytocin on social cognition are mixed, with several non-significant reports casting some doubts on the efficacy of intranasal oxytocin. Nevertheless, drawing inferences from non-significant values is problematic as non-significant results can be indicative of either statistical equivalence or insensitive data. Equivalence tests can be used to assess evidence for statistical equivalence, which can consequently facilitate theory falsification. To improve the inference of non-significant NHST p-values, this paper reports a set of equivalence tests performed on data from a recent meta-analysis summarizing 43 intranasal oxytocin studies. Data from 26.1% of non-significant meta-analytic effects were indicative of data insensitivity, rather than statistical equivalence. Equivalence tests were also performed on a set of previously unpublished data from one laboratory, to examine whether unpublished data yields similar outcomes. Of the 34 non-significant effects, 73.5% were due to data insensitivity. Altogether, these analyses illustrate how non-significant intranasal oxytocin results may not necessarily support a null effect. Implementing equivalence tests in oxytocin studies can facilitate theory falsification, which can advance the field by directing resources to more promising avenues of research.
The Use of Code Switching by Lecturers in Teaching Process at University of Muhammadiyah Sorong
Authors: Hasanudin Hasanudin
Published: July 2018

Code Switching is a process of language which intentionally or unintentionally people talk affected by situation and topic with inserted other language when speaking their language. There were three main problems of this research (1). How often do the lecturers make code switching in the learning process? (2). What are types of code switching that used by lecturers in the learning process? (3). What are the factors cause the lecturers used code switching in the learning process? The method of this research was descriptive qualitative. To gain the data, this research used a recording device, field notes, and a questionnaire. After analyzing the data, it concluded that all of the lecturers used code switching in the teaching learning process more than 244 occurrences of code switching and more 86.67% responded agree that they often did code switching when teaching. They did code switching based on their material and orally. The writer also found the English codes with added Indonesian prefix and suffix likes dismoothkan, diprint out, utilizingnya, etc. Then, frequently of the codes were Fisheries Faculty 111 of occurrences (45.49%) Engineering Faculty 59 (24.18%), Law of Faculty 25 (10.25%), Sociology Faculty and Administrative Science 25 (10.25%) and the remaining 24 occurrences (9.84%) are Agriculture Faculty. About 54 statements that shown as situational code switching and nine statements were metaphorical code switching. And ten out 15 factors that the lecturers agree from statements contained in the questionnaire and five factors were disagreed.
Lambert W function in hydraulic problems
Authors: Brkić Dejan
Published: July 2018

Darcy's flow friction factor is expressed in implicit form in some of the relations suchas Colebrook's and have to be solved by iteration procedure because the unknown frictionfactor appears on both sides of the equation. Lambert W function is implicitly elementarybut is not, itself, an elementary function. Implicit form of the Lambert W function allows usto transform other implicit functions in explicit form without any kind of approximations orsimplications involved. But unfortunately, the Lambert W function itself cannot be solvedeasily without approximation. Two original transformations in explicit form of Colebrook'srelation using Lambert W function will also be shown. Here will be shown ecient procedurefor approximate solutions of the transformed relations.

Because of poor preservation and collection biases in the region, various resource managers have erroneously designated bison a nonnative and human-(re)introduced species. This decision directly impacts an extant herd of approximately 400 bison that periodically meander onto Grand Canyon National Park lands from neighboring U.S. Forest Service and State of Arizona lands. We re-examined and verified paleozoological museum specimens of this large mammal confirming a prehistoric and early historic presence of Bison on the Colorado Plateau. Our findings indicate that Bison bison should be considered a native species on the Colorado Plateau because they have a nearly continuous record of inhabitance in the region. This record is supported by 74 Bison-bearing fossil, subfossil, and historical localities since the latest Pleistocene.
Scientific Literature Text Mining and the Case for Open Access
Authors: Sarma Gopal P.
Published: July 2018

“Open access” has become a central theme of journal reform in academic publishing. In this article, I examine the relationship between open access publishing and an important infrastructural element of a modern research enterprise, scientific literature text mining, or the use of data analytic techniques to conduct meta-analyses and investigations into the scientific corpus. I give a brief history of the open access movement, discuss novel journalistic practices, and an overview of data-driven investigation of the scientific corpus. I argue that particularly in an era where the veracity of many research studies has been called into question, scientific literature text mining should be one of the key motivations for open access publishing, not only in the basic sciences, but in the engineering and applied sciences as well. The enormous benefits of unrestricted access to the research literature should prompt scholars from all disciplines to lend their vocal support to enabling legal, wholesale access to the scientific literature as part of a data science pipeline.
A Gas Distribution Network Hydraulic Problem from Practice
Authors: Brikić D.
Published: July 2018

Accent is on determination of appropriate friction factor, and on selection of representative equation for natural gas flow under presented conditions in the network. Calculation of presented looped gas-pipeline network is done according to principles of Hardy Cross method. The final flows were calculated, for known pipes diameters and nodes consumptions while the flow velocities through pipes have to stand below certain values. In optimization problem flows are treated as constant, while the diameters are variables.
Lean: it’s not rocket science, it’s work science
Authors: Gaudet Joanne , Bergeron France
Published: July 2018

The main goal of this paper is to deepen understanding for Lean as a science of work based on flow. Flow here is the process of energy moving through a system. The paper first presents the three main elements of a science. It then deals with internal consistency for Lean as a scientific knowledge system with a need to discard the notion of ‘truth’. Third, the paper delves into Lean as collaborative science. Finally, focus shifts to individual and team flow and how a Lean culture creates the conditions and relations for optimal individual and team flow for increased creativity and innovation. The authors conclude that a deeper understanding of Lean can help more organizations prosper.
Improved moist-convective rotating shallow water model and its application to instabilities of hurricane-like vortices
Authors: Rostami
Published: July 2018

We show how the two-layer moist-convective rotating shallow water model (mcRSW), which proved to be a simple and robust tool for studying effects of moist convection on large-scale atmospheric motions, can be improved by including, in addition to the water vapour, precipitable water, and the effects of vaporisation, entrainment, and precipitation. Thus improved mcRSW becomes cloud-resolving. It is applied, as an illustration, to model the development of instabilities of tropical cyclone-like vortices.

According to classical motive disposition theory, individuals differ in their propensity to derive pleasure from affiliative experiences. This propensity is considered a core process underlying the affiliation motive and a pervasive cause of motivated behavior. In this study, we tested These assumptions. We presented participants with positive affiliative stimuli and used electromyography (EMG) to record changes in facial muscular activity that are indicative of subtle smiling. We were thus able to physiologically measure positive affect following affiliative cues. Individual differences in these affective contingencies were internally consistent and temporally stable. They converged with affiliation motive self- and informant-reports, and picture story exercise (PSE) scores, indicating that they are partly accessible to the self, observable to outsiders and overlap with implicit systems. Finally, they predicted affiliative behavior in terms of situation selection and modification across a wide variety of contexts (i.e., in daily life, the laboratory, and an online social network). These findings corroborate the long-held assumption that affective contingencies represent a motivational core aspect of affiliation.
Analisis Data Kualitatif Dalam Penelitian Pariwisata

This paper aims at exploring the definition, characteristics and stages of qualitative data analysis in tourism research. The paper is based on the writer’s experience in implementing qualitative data analysis as well as literature review on qualitative research methodology. Qualitative researchers may deal with different and rich data from qualitative methods. However, many qualitative researchers do not understand how to produce knowledge from qualitative data. For this reason, the result of a qualitative research tends to be descriptive without contributing to the advancement of knowledge. Thematic analysis is considered as a dominant form of analysis in qualitative research. Its stages consist of data reduction, organization and interpretation. Coding is the key for succeeding the qualitative data analysis. Hence, examples of qualitative data analysis in tourism research are provided to give practical stages of how to analyze qualitative data.
Tweets, tents, and events: The interplay between street protests and social media
Authors: Bastos Marco T. , Mercea Dan , Charpentier Arthur
Published: July 2018

Recent protests have fuelled deliberations about the extent to which social media ignites popular uprisings. In this paper we use time-series data of Twitter, Facebook, and onsite protests to assess the Granger-causality between social media streams and onsite developments at the Indignados, Occupy, and Brazilian Vinegar protests. After applying a Gaussianization procedure to the data, we found that contentious communication on Twitter and Facebook forecasted onsite protest during the Indignados and Occupy protests, with bidirectional Granger-causality between online and onsite protest in the Occupy series. Conversely, the Vinegar demonstrations presented Granger-causality between Facebook and Twitter communication, and separately between protestors and injuries/arrests onsite. We conclude that the effective forecasting of protest activity likely varies across different instances of political unrest.
Multiscale Analysis of Multilayer Composite Pipes
Authors: Pham DC
Published: July 2018

The use of composite materials in offshore applications has constantly increased towards the development of deepwater technology and ultra-deepwater feasibility. Cylindrical composite pipes are the most principal components in floating and offshore platforms. Composite pipes could be grouped into bonded and unbonded structures. Typical bonded composite structures comprise a core angle ply laminate cylinder sandwiched between an inner liner and an outer liner made of elastomer or metal alloys. On the other hand, unbonded composite pipes such as flexible pipes in floating platforms consist of multiple metallic and polymeric layers, among which tensile wires play essential roles in providing axial and bending stiffnesses. The flexibility in motion of each layers of the unbonded composite pipe and the complexity in their geometries and materials make the analysis of unbonded composite structures very challenging. In this work, multiscale non-linear analyses of unbonded flexible risers are carried out and the non-linear behaviors of individual riser layers as well as stick-slip mechanisms between them are studied. In addition, the work also discusses the potential of flexible fiber-reinforced pipe where metal amour strips may be replaced by fiber-reinforced composite materials to significantly enhance the structural performance of conventional pipe.
