Authors: Pitchumani S. Naveen , Sundar S. Arun , Srinivasan T. , Savithri S.
Published: July 2017

At present the armoured fighting vehicles are equipped with either global positioning system (GPS) receivers or integrated inertial navigation system (INS)/GPS navigation systems. During hostile situations, the denial/degradation of the GPS satellite signals may happen. This results in the requirement of an indigenous satellite based navigation system. Indian Space Research Organisation has developed an indigenous Indian regional navigation satellite system (IRNSS), with a seven satellite constellation to provide independent position, navigation and timing services over India and its neighbouring regions. In this paper, the development of IRNSS receiver using MATLAB as per IRNSS signal in space interface control document for standard positioning service is discussed. A method for faster IRNSS signal acquisition in frequency domain and delay locked loop code tracking for the acquired satellite signals are used. Models for navigation message decoding and pseudo range/user position calculations are developed using the algorithms provided in IRNSS ICD.
The Relationships of Competition and Demographics to the Pricing of Health Insurance Premiums in Affordable Care Act–Era Health Insurance Markets
Authors: O'Connor Genevieve E.
Published: July 2017

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expands health insurance coverage to millions of Americans. Despite the act having been signed into law more than five years ago, health care affordability in the ACA era remains a topic of empirical inquiry, relevant to academicians and public policy makers. A primary concern, with implications for any future legislation, is whether all consumer groups have equitable access to health insurance options through ACA-mandated health insurance markets (HIMs). Utilizing pricing information and demographic data for states that adopted the Healthcare.gov platform, this study examines relationships between health insurance premiums, competition, and population characteristics. Results indicate that competition within HIMs is multifaceted. Although markets with a large number of insurance plans are associated with lower premiums, this effect is moderated by the concentration of insurers in the market and number of rating areas. Furthermore, population characteristics are related to premiums, where premiums vary by HIM demographics. Findings also suggest that access is less equitable in areas that have not adopted Medicaid expansion plans and areas that serve a large percentage of uninsured consumers.
Methodological Proposal about the Role of Landscape in the Tourism Development Process in Rural Areas: The Case of Molise Region (Italy)
Authors: Mastronardi Luigi , Giaccio Vincenzo , Giannelli Agostino , Stanisci Angela
Published: July 2017

The landscape has always been a fundamental factor in defining tourist flow attraction for local development. In this paper, landscape related to tourism have been analysed using three different measurements through appropriate performance indicators and rationalised with the aim of identifying a scheme of mutual relations. Applying advanced statistical methods of ranking and data synthesis, the area investigated (Molise, Italy) has been divided into different zones. Each area described has a specific relation between tourism and landscape useful in the implementation of optimal promotion strategies and valorisation of the area. In marginal areas, tourism can have an excellent growth potential, since they are characterized by the high quality of the landscape. However, the analysis highlights some gap areas, which means the existence of areas with high quality of the natural and agricultural landscape is not associated with an appropriate tourism development, or areas where the high tourism development is not associated with an appreciable quality of the landscape.

Reduced Protein Expression in a Virus Attenuated by Codon Deoptimization
Authors: Jack Benjamin R , Boutz Daniel R , Paff Matthew L , Smith Bartram L , Bull James J , Wilke Claus O
Published: July 2017

A general means of viral attenuation involves the extensive recoding of synonymous codons in the viral genome. The mechanistic underpinnings of this approach remain unclear, however. Using quantitative proteomics and RNA sequencing, we explore the molecular basis of attenuation in a strain of bacteriophage T7 whose major capsid gene was engineered to carry 182 suboptimal codons. We do not detect transcriptional effects from recoding. Proteomic observations reveal that translation is halved for the recoded major capsid gene, and a more modest reduction applies to several coexpressed downstream genes. We observe no changes in protein abundances of other coexpressed genes that are encoded upstream. Viral burst size, like capsid protein abundance, is also decreased by half. Together, these observations suggest that, in this virus, reduced translation of an essential polycistronic transcript and diminished virion assembly form the molecular basis of attenuation.

Authors: Nyrop Kirsten A. , Callahan Leigh F. , Cleveland Rebecca J. , Arbeeva Liubov L. , Hackney Betsy S. , Muss Hyman B.
Published: July 2017

Background

In postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC), most BC tumors are hormone receptor positive and guidelines recommend adjuvant endocrine therapy that includes an aromatase inhibitor (AI). This study investigates the impact of a 6-week, home-based, self-directed walking program on the commonly reported side effect of AI-associated arthralgia (AIAA).

Materials and Methods

In this phase II trial, consented BC patients were randomized to walking Intervention (n = 31) or Wait List Control (WLC; n = 31). Eligibility criteria included: stage 0–III BC, on AI for at least 4 weeks, ≥3 on a 5-point scale inquiring about joint symptom intensity “at its worst,” and exercising ≤150 minutes per week. Outcomes were self-reported joint symptoms and psychosocial measures. Analyses comparing Intervention and WLC groups were conducted on an intention-to-treat basis to assess intervention impact at 6 weeks (postintervention) and at 6-months follow-up. Adjusted means were calculated to assess differences in two groups.

Results

In our final sample (n = 62), mean age was 64 years, 74% were white, and 63% had a body mass index of 30 or higher. At postintervention, Intervention group participants reported significantly increased walking minutes per week, reduced stiffness, less difficulty with activities of daily living (ADL), and less perceived helplessness in managing joint symptoms. At 6-months follow-up (postwalking period in both Intervention and WLC), walking minutes per week had decreased significantly; however, improvements in stiffness and difficulty with ADLs were maintained.

Conclusion

This study adds to the growing evidence base suggesting exercise as a safe alternative or adjunct to medications for the management of AIAA.
Association between Endothelin-1 Levels and Kidney Disease among Blacks
Authors: Rebholz Casey M. , Harman Jane L. , Grams Morgan E. , Correa Adolfo , Shimbo Daichi , Coresh Josef , Young Bessie A.
Published: July 2017

Endothelin-1, a marker of endothelial dysfunction, is a potent vasoconstrictor released by endothelial cells and an important regulator of renal physiology. It is not known whether elevated serum levels of endothelin-1 indicate future risk of kidney disease in the general population. In participants in the Jackson Heart Study, a community-based observational study of cardiovascular risk in black adults, we measured serum endothelin-1 level at baseline (2000–2004; n=3538). We defined incident CKD as eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and ≥30% eGFR decline at the third visit (2009–2013) relative to baseline among those participants with baseline eGFR ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. At baseline, mean age was 55 years old, 37% of participants were men, and mean eGFR was 94 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Over a median follow-up of 8 years, 228 (6.4%) cases of incident CKD occurred in participants. Participants with baseline endothelin-1 levels in higher quartiles had a greater incidence of CKD in the fully adjusted model (odds ratio for fourth versus first quartile, 1.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.11 to 2.96; P
trend=0.04). Endothelin-1 positively associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio for fourth versus first quartile, 1.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.24 to 2.16; P
trend<0.001). In conclusion, higher baseline serum endothelin-1 levels associated with incident CKD and all-cause mortality during follow-up in this general population sample of blacks.

"Adaptación de cuatro variedades de Alfalfa" Medicago Sativo en la zona de Cananvalle -Tabacundo, Cayambe - Ecuador 2004
Authors: Dammer Bustamante María del Carmen
Published: July 2017

La alfalfa (Medicago sativa) es una de las pocas alternativas forrajeras para zonas con sequías largas y fuentes de agua de riego escasas. Es una leguminosa de gran valor nutritivo (24% de proteína en las hojas en Materia Seca (MS), 10% de proteína en los tallos). Tiene una raíz principal profunda y es fijadora de Nitrógeno (N) por la simbiosis con la bacteria Rhizobium. Se considera como un cultivo que ayuda a mejorar la calidad y conservación de suelos. Con un manejo adecuado un alfalfar debería mantener un buen nivel de producción hasta los 6 ó más años. El uso que se puede dar a un cultivo de alfalfa no está restringido a forraje en verde para consumo directo de ganado vacuno, ovino o de pequeñas especies, sino que las pacas (fardos, bultos, en Materia Seca) de alfalfa, mantienen su valor nutritivo, se pueden almacenar y son fácilmente comerciables; además, es cada vez más aceptado, o por fin reconocido, el valor nutricional de esta leguminosa para consumo humano, sea en verde o en tabletas de alfarina comprimida, como complemento a la alimentación, inclusive se habla de propiedades medicinales. De modo que es una gran alternativa de producción para pequeños o grandes agricultores o ganaderos.
Comportamiento de seis clones de "cacao" (Theobroma cacao L.) en Guasaganda, provincia de Cotopaxi, Ecuador
Authors: Escobar Raúl
Published: July 2017

En la actualidad, no existe una variedad nacional genéticamente pura del cacao, pues lo que se encuentra es una mezcla de híbridos naturales que se agrupan en una población conocida con el nombre de complejo “Nacional x Trinitario”. Los tres grandes grupos de cacao que se reconocen a nivel internacional son: Criollos, Forasteros y Trinitarios, pero en el Ecuador existe una variedad Nacional que es diferente por ser nativa y proviene de los declives orientales de la Cordillera de los Andes en la hoya amazónica. La investigación se centró en monitorear el comportamiento de seis clones de cacao frente a las condiciones ambientales del sector de Guasaganda (cantón La Mana, provincia del Cotopaxi) y tendrá una duración de seis años, iniciando el 8 de marzo del 2004 y finalizando el 8 de marzo del 2010. Los resultados preliminares han sido el punto de partida para desarrollar proyectos socioeconómicos en el sector, ya que el experimento demostró que existe una precocidad de los clones EET-103 y EET-544, porque se cosechan sus primeras mazorcas a los 12 meses de establecidos en el campo y la precocidad es un atributo asociado a la productividad, situación que favorece a los agricultores locales.

Published: July 2017

Los metales pesados presentes en aguas industriales de desecho constituyen un problema ambiental de gran magnitud en razón de su elevada toxicidad para los organismos vivos. La posibilidad de desarrollar métodos de remoción de estos contaminantes resulta particularmente atractiva al tomar como punto de partida el uso de materias primas de bajo costo, que de otra forma pueden ser consideradas como residuos sin utilidad. Dentro de esta categoría se hallan los desechos vegetales provenientes de actividades domésticas o agroindustriales. Bajo estos criterios se estudió la capacidad de biosorción de materiales celulósicos en función del pH y tiempo de biosorción, siendo el pH óptimo igual a 6,0 y determinándose la mayor tasa de sorción entre 15 y 30 minutos.Además mediante un estudio isotérmico se calculó la capacidad máxima del biosorbente (qmáx), siendo esta en condiciones óptimas de 182 mg plomo/g biosorbente. Todos los resultados se obtuvieron a 22o C.

Authors: Crespo-Guerrero José M. , Jiménez-Pelcastre Araceli
Published: July 2017

Las cooperativas pesqueras de la zona Pacífico Norte (estado de Baja California Sur) son uno de los pilares de la tradición cooperativista mexicana. No obstante, escasean las investigaciones que indagan en su origen y consolidación. El artículo inicia a mediados del siglo XIX, y examina la valoración y explotación de ciertos aprovechamientos marinos por extranjeros. Continúa con el análisis del período posrevolucionario, momento en que las cooperativas serán un instrumento legal para la explotación de los recursos naturales. La primera de la zona se constituyó en 1939 y la última en 1974. El estudio territorial analiza el lugar donde se concretizan la inversión y la mano de obra. Así será posible reconstruir los procesos territoriales de una de las zonas mexicanas más periféricas.

Published: July 2017

Se realizó un inventario de peces en la laguna Cormorán, en la zona ictiogeográfica Upano-Zamora, durante octubre 2011 (época de seca), febrero 2012 (época de transición) y mayo 2012 (época de lluvias). Los peces fueron muestreados usando cuatro trasmallos (20 m de largo, 1,5 m de alto), 40 anzuelos y una red de mano. Un total de 599 individuos de 16 especies y seis familias fueron capturados. El orden Characiformes fue el más abundante y diverso, y Lebiasina elongara (Lebiasinidae) y Astyanax fasciatus (Characidae) fueron las especies más abundantes. La abundancia de especies disminuyó paulatinamente conforme llegaba la época de lluvias. Se extienden los rangos altitudinales del género Chaetostoma (Chaetostoma microps) y de la familia Heptapteridae (Rhamdia quelen) hasta 1783 m en Ecuador. La ictiofauna de la laguna Cormorán todavía necesita mayores de estudios. Es necesario realizar estudios taxómicos, ecológicos y biogeográficos que contribuyan al conocimiento de la diversidad de peces de este ecosistema acuático tropical. Es posible que algunas especies encontradas en este estudio sean endémicas, especialmente en los géneros Astroblepus y Bryconamericus.

Published: July 2017

The results of theoretical and experimental investigations on methane pyrolysis with infiltration through a heated porous matrix generated from various carbon materials are presented. The features of mathematical
models, kinetic relationships of process are discussed. The mathematical model of process shares on external problem (a flow of particles in an external stream) and internal problem (reaction in particle porous). The
heat and mass transfer for the average (over the reactor cross section) parameters, ignoring the heat transfer in gas by thermal conductivity, is described by unsteady-state one-dimensional differential equations in
partial derivatives. For the mathematical description of process kinetics of methane decomposition the approach is used by which the soot formation is treated as a chain radical process. The porous media is represented by a system of large enough particles. In its turn, every macroparticle consists of finer particles, which are also composed of microparticles, etc. Calculating programs were used for modeling and efficiency analysis of technological installations for technical carbon production in a regenerative heater, filled by a ceramic nozzle and for similar purposes concerning carbon (oven soot) in autothermal torch process of partial gas oxidation by air at a surplus factor of oxidizer in relation to stoichiometry 0.4-0.5 at pressure close to atmospheric on Sosnogorsk Gas-Processing Plant. Experiment descriptions and techniques for experimental realization are given. These results are used as fundamentals for new technologies considering pyrocarbon materials production in the continuous operation reactor.

The water-soluble fullerenes [C60, C70] are prepared with fullerenes [C60, C70] and a mixture of oxidants (v/v) at the ratio of 3:1 under ultrasonic condition at room temperature. The MALDI-TOF MS confirmed that the water-soluble compounds were C60 and C70. The antioxidant effect of water-soluble fullerenes [C60, C70] in the PC 12 cells (Rat pheochromocytoma) line following exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was investigated.
Computer Security and Intrusion detection System-A Data Mining Based Approach
Authors: Tapas Kumar Neetu Anand,
Published: July 2017

With an increased understanding of how systems work, intruders have become skilled at determining weaknesses in systems and exploiting them to obtain such increased privileges that they can do anything on the system. Intruders also use patterns of intrusion that are difficult to trace and identify. They frequently use several levels of indirection before breaking into target systems and rarely indulge in sudden bursts of suspicious or anomalous activity. They also cover their tracks so that their activity on the penetrated system is not easily discovered. We must have measures in place to detect security breaches, i.e., identify intruders and intrusions. Intrusion detection systems fill this role and usually form the last line of defense in the overall protection scheme of a computer system. They are useful not only in detecting successful breaches of security, but also in monitoring attempts to breach security, which provides important information for timely countermeasures. This paper focused on how data mining is used for Intrusion detection System
Parallel State of the Art Algorithms for Frequent Itemset Mining – A Concise Descriptive Summary of Scalable Approaches
Authors: Samar Wazir Nafisur Rahman,
Published: July 2017

Frequent Item set Mining is a Data Mining task that has attracted the researchers’ interests in a way that very few other tasks have done. This concept is generally used in Decision Support problems. Many serial and parallel algorithms have been developed for Frequent Item set Mining. In this paper, we have focused on the developments of parallel algorithms in this area so far. We start with an Apriori-based parallel algorithm that focuses on minimizing the communication overhead even if, in parallel, it requires redundant duplicate computations. Then we discuss an algorithm that utilizes the system memory in amore effective manner. Then we give an account of the algorithm that reduces the synchronization between the processors, segments the database, and integrates load balancing. Then we describe an algorithm that partitions the Candidate Item sets intelligently. Finally, we give an account of an algorithm that combines two famous algorithms to leverage their cumulative advantage. While keeping the original ideas intact, we have avoided the cumbersome notations to keep it easily intelligible.
An Efficient Privacy Preserving Technique Using Decoy Passwords

Published: July 2017

As per the rapid growth and essentiality in the field of information security, the data authentication and data access control are the major concerns. Now-a-days many users prefer to share their data through websites are bound to have many security related issues such as leakage of password file. To provide security against cyber threats in the above dimensions We proposed a decoy based passwords system. Honeywords are the Decoy (fake) passwords. If an attacker steals the password file, it will include original password and honeywords and password cracking becomes tougher. Further we improved the flatness of honeyword generation system using masked password generation algorithm based on randomized technique. So, for an adversary it will become harder to distinguish between original password and a honeyword. The administrator gets notification if any illegal login done apart from the genuine user. In this system the main advantage is that sensitive data can’t be viewed by the unauthorized user. For this Identity Based Encryption (IBE) has been implemented. By this, only the user with genuine credentials allowed to view the original data..
The rising concept of leadership in Public Sector units – A conceptual analysis
Authors: Mukherjee Anwesha
Published: July 2017

Concept of leadership exists in every sphere of our living starting from the leader of a family to the leader of an organization. A leader in an organization is interpreted as someone who sets the direction in an effort & influences people to follow them. Under human resources management leadership is a very dynamic concept which involves directing the activities of a group towards a shared goal. Organizational leadership is dual focused management approach which focuses on which is best for the individuals & what is best for the group as a whole simultaneously. It provides a sense of cohesiveness, personal development and higher level of satisfaction among those who are conducting the work. And it provides a proper sense of direction and vision, an alignment with the environment, a healthy mechanism for innovation and creativity. There are many important studies on leadership in the public administration discipline, as public sector is also playing a very crucial role in today’s economy. There is a difficulty when considering leadership of public professionals that is most theories are not developed within this context but are usually developed for the business settings and are applied to public segment. This article helps to fill that gap by analyzing the role of public sector leaders, who play an important role for their employees. It has a positive influence on employee job outcomes. This paper will show that leadership strongly influences work meaningfulness which relates to job outcomes. The impact and extent of leadership and work meaningfulness are higher in public sector. The present study will help us to know about the importance of leadership in public sector and its impact on employees

Authors: González Andrea
Published: July 2017

La historia del jardín en la cultura china se remonta a la historia de las dinastías Shang y Zhou y continúa a lo largo de las dinastías Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming y Qing hasta la llegada de la República China y la República Popular de China.Los valores artísticos y paisajísticos del jardín en esta cultura se desarrollaron de forma paralela a la historia de la nación y tuvieron una influencia directa sobre la arquitectura doméstica y sobre el jardín de naciones cercanas como Japón.Sus influencias se reflejaron en teorías como el Fengshui y las leyes geománticas y generaron a lo largo de los siglos valores compositivos propios del jardín chino.La conclusion de esta investigación consiste en una asimilación de lo estudiado y en detallar los aspectos compositivos y de diseño, tales como el centro, el límite, el element de la montaña, el vacío, el agua, o el teatro, entre otros. ABSTRACT :This essay starts with a brief description of the history of the garden in the East and introduces the reader into the Chinese culture starting with the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and continuing with the historical development through the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and the arrival of the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China.In this essay the artistic and landscape values of Chinese culture are described alongside the history of the garden and the influences on the Japanese garden they have had from ancient times until today. These are explained alongside the art of Fengshui, geomantic laws and the main elements that compose the Chinese garden.The conclusion entails a brief assimilation of what has been deduced from the main study. In this part of the essay the compositive and design aspects of the Chinese garden are described, aspects such as centre, limit, the element of the mountain, emptiness, water, and the theatre, among other.

Authors: Breen Cormac , O'Sullivan Ciaran , Cox Damian
Published: July 2017

In this paper, a study on Mathematics Learning Support (MLS) that was undertaken across three institutes intending to form the Technological University for Dublin is outlined. This study consisted of a survey that was circulated to both staff and students in each of the three institutes. The survey had two objectives. Firstly it sought to identify the students’ needs for MLS in each of the three institutes. Secondly, it sought to ascertain the preferred method of provision of MLS, on a scale ranging from exclusively online to exclusively in person. Following on the results of this survey it was decided to prototype a virtual MLS drop-in service. The operational details of the prototyping of this virtual drop-in service and the feedback obtained from the students involved are also presented in this paper.
