Показники кореляційної залежності в постраждалих із розвитком синдрому поліорганної недостатності
Authors: Malysh I.R. , Zgrzheblovskaya L.V.
Published: March 2017

Стаття присвячена вивченню кореляційної залежності між кумулятивними дозами колоїдів, кристалоїдів та показниками життєво важливих функцій на 12-ту добу посттравматичного періоду. Аналіз кореляційної залежності показав, що кумулятивна доза колоїдів тісно співвідносилася з показниками об’єму та балансу позаклітинної рідини, показниками вентиляції та газообміну. Це, можливо, пов’язано з тим, що проникнення молекул колоїдів у позасудинний простір на фоні синдрому капілярного витоку сприяло посиленню вираженості інтерстиціальної гідратації, порушенню процесів газообміну. При вивченні показників функцій нирок виявлено тісну негативну кореляцію між кумулятивною дозою колоїдів та показниками фільтраційного градієнта, швидкістю гломерулярної фільтрації та тісну позитивну — між рівнем креатиніну в сироватці крові. При дослідженні показників імунної відповіді виявилося, що відмічається тісна негативна кореляція між кумулятивною дозою колоїдів і фагоцитарним показником та величиною фагоцитарного числа. Мабуть, фагоцитування молекул колоїдів, що перебувають в інтерстиціальному просторі, клітинами моноцитарно-макрофагальної системи викликає в подальшому значні порушення фагоцитозу, а потім, ймовірно, і антигенної презентації. При вивченні кореляційної залежності між кумулятивною дозою кристалоїдів та показниками основ­них життєво важливих функцій виявлено, що практично була відсутня тісна кореляція, за винятком рівнів натрію та хлоридів у сироватці крові.

Dynamics of modern delta of the Huanghe River at last decades: investigation by satellite images
Authors: Kravtsovа V.I. , Inyushin A.N.
Published: March 2017

Space images from Landsat-5, -7, -8 satellites were used to investigate the changes of the Huanghe River delta for 1995–2015, after overlapping Quingshuigou channel, active in 1976–1996, turning the river to the East, and forming a new channel and promontory Chahe. In the work with images strong attention was paid to tidal activity. Compiled schemes of modern delta promontories dynamics show the growth of the new promontory of Chahe and the erosion of the old promontory of Quingshuigou. Before the 2000-s the data of the new delta promontory growth exceeded that of the old one, but after this time the erosion became stronger than the accumulation. In spite of sediments discharge reducing, the whole delta continues its growth, although the tendency for its future reducing is emerging.
GIS based modelling of spatial and temporal distribution of severe weather events
Authors: Abdullin R.K. , Shikhov A.N.
Published: March 2017

The article describes a method of mapping climatic parameters (i. e. frequency and intensity) of severe weather events, based on the interpolation of weather station data. We applied regression-based interpolation, using some geographical variables (altitude, slope angle and curvature) for modeling their spatial distribution. Statistically significant correlations between geographical and climatic variables were selected based on regression analysis. They have been used to create a maps of frequency, average and maximum intensity of severe weather events for Perm region (160 600 km2). The proposed method allows to create more accurate and detailed maps of spatial distribution of severe weather events than traditional deterministic and geostatistical interpolation methods. The reliability of the results confirmed by a weather station observations and comparisons with MODIS satellite images thematic products. Significant advantage of proposed method is also its applicability to the risk assessment of severe weather events in ungauged site, or in ungauged areas.
Detection of the abnormal landmarks in case of geodesic orientation phototriangulations
Authors: Levitskaya O.N. , Pogorelov V.V.
Published: March 2017

When building phototriangulation ways to identify landmarks with gross blu nders in planning coordinates or their identification. They are based on an assessment of the condition of the equality the scale of line segments connecting the landmarks. However, in this case, there is the possibility of detecting a blunder in the situation of landmarks only in the direction of the segment. The article considers a method of detecting a blunder in the situation of landmarks also in the perpendicular direction to the cut. This assessed the condition of equal angles between identical segments. It is shown that as the scale and angles are invariants of orthogonal transformations, it is advisable to apply them as criteria to stage the planned reduction of phototriangulation. In the process of analysis of the quality of landmarks reveals the real level of error plane coordinate landmarks. This treatment begins with a task notoriously tough admission, which excludes high-quality landmarks. Then follows a gradual increase in the tolerance. As a criterion for task completion is assumed that the correct project build the mapping component of the anomalous landmarks should not exceed a certain level in the order of 10 - 15 percent. An example of the practical application of the method when building a phototriangulation for the images of TK-350, scale 1
Research of effect of uncertainty of estimates of vegetation cover on predicted probability of flooding of urban territories upon inundation
Authors: Danziyev R.M.
Published: March 2017

It is well-known that the densely grown vegetation increase the capability of water retention of hydrologic system of urban zones and weaken the water flows which can lead to flooding of urban zones. Therefore development and recovery of urban vegetation zones is significant and inseparable part of common urban system for management of city household. It is shown in the article that used at present time method for stylization of urban territories on different signatures impacting on general estimate of flooding risk of urban areas doesn’t take into account the really existing ambiguity of measurements results of different type aboard spectroradiometers carrying out assessment of amount of vegetation areas on the basis of value of NDVI of researched area. The researches described in the article show that uncertainty generated by ambiguity of measurements results of spectroradiometers MODIS and AVHRR is utmost in the flooding probability in such urban areas where the initial probability of flooding is maximum.

Being an introduction to a special issue on the theme of “Foucault and Pragmatism” this article offers a brief set of metaphilosophical comments on the project of building bridges across familiar philosophical divides. The paper addresses questions in metaphilosophical methodology raised by the pairing in the issue title: What is at stake in the comparison of philosophical figures like Michel Foucault and John Dewey? What is at stake in the comparison of philosophical traditions such as Genealogy and Pragmatism? How can we most effectively develop comparative work across the entrenched divides, which such comparative work often labors to overcome?
The Emotional Life of Governmental Power
Authors: Campbell Elaine
Published: March 2017

This paper explores the emotional life of governmental power through the affective domains of confidence and respect in criminal justice, in the context of a climate of insecurities and uncertainties with existing modes of governance. The paper problematises some of the key tenets of the governmentality thesis and questions its core assumptions about forms of rationality, processes of subjectivation and the conditions of possibility for ethical conduct. It also prompts us to reconsider the tenets of contemporary neo-liberal governance, its “rationalities of rule,” technologies and apparatuses, how these work to capture hearts as well as minds, and how these may promote an “emotionalised” art of government such that we might properly speak of “emotionalities of rule.”
Foucault and the Ethics of Eating
Authors: Taylor Chloë
Published: March 2017

In a 1983 interview, Michel Foucault contrasts our contemporary interest in sexual identity with the ancient Greek preoccupation with diet, arguing that sex has replaced food as the privileged medium of self-constitution in the modern West. In the same interview, Foucault argues that modern liberation movements should return to the ancient model of ethics, of which diet was a prime example, as aesthetics or self-transformative practice. In this paper I take up Foucault's argument with respect to the Animal Liberation Movement and the dietetics of ethical vegetarianism. Contra Foucault, I suggest that diet has not been replaced by sexuality in the modern West, and that food choices, along with and intertwined with sexuality, continue to function as practices of self-constitution in both disciplinary and aesthetic fashions. I then consider the implications of this argument for the Animal Liberation Movement, exploring ways in which it might (and to some degree already does) take on aesthetic rather than moral strategies in order to pursue what Foucault once described as “an ethics of acts and their pleasures which would be able to take into account the pleasure of the other.”

Performance of Blind Turbo Equalizer in Indoor Channels
Authors: Ammari Mohamed Lassaad
Published: March 2017

In this paper, we consider the transmission of turbo coded symbols in the indoor radio environment. The system isaffected by the intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by the multipath time-delay spread of the transmission medium. To reduce the channel effect, we propose to use a blind turbo equalizer combining channel estimation, equalization and turbo decoding. The equalizer consists of an interference canceller (IC) and a MAP-BCJR decoder. To improve system performances, we redefine the channel reliability factor used by the MAP-BCJR decoding algorithm. We propose a new metric that takes into account the statistics of the signal at the equalizer output. The channel coefficient estimation is performed using a recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. A blind receiver initializationtechnique is proposed. This technique is based on a soft decisiondirected least mean square algorithm (soft DD-LMS). For the proposed turbo detector, the ISI cancellation, channel estimation and decoding are jointly performed through an iterative process where modules exchange a soft information.
Performance analysis of a novel OWDM-IDMA approach for wireless communication system
Authors: Rouijel Awatif , Nsiri Benayad , Aboutajdine Driss
Published: March 2017

Efficiency and adaptivity play a major role in the design of fourth-generation wireless systems (4G). These systems should be efficient in terms of bandwidth and power allocation and will satisfy the users requirement on low power consumption, little interferences with other systems, and high rate transmission. Moreover, low complexity transceivers are expected. This paper will propose a novel multiple access technique called OWDM-IDMA (Orthogonal Wavelength-Division Multiplexing-Interleave Division Multiple Access) as the combination of the OWDM (Orthogonal Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) and IDMA (Interleave Division Multiple Access) schemes. The IDMA and OWDM principles are also outlined. The comparison between the conventional OFDM-IDMA and the proposed OWDM-IDMA is performed in term of Power to Average Power Ratio PAPR, as well as evaluating the performance of our presented technique over Additive White Gaussian Noise AWGN multipath channels by estimating the BER (Binary Error Rate).
Extending Coverage of High Definition TV Services over ADSL2 with Optimized Reception Quality using H.264/AVC Transrating
Authors: Coudoux François-Xavier
Published: March 2017

In this paper, we present a new Joint Source-Channel Coding (JSCC) architecture to extend the coverage of H.264/AVC High Definition (HD) video delivery over Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). The proposed solution combines low complexity H.264/AVC transrating as well as multi-carrier transmission and takes into account realistic ADSL2 specifications including all OSI layers. Both transrating and bit and power loading transmission parameters are automatically optimized in terms of end-user perceived quality, with respect to the characteristics of the given subscriber’s loop. Several originalities have been included: a new optimization algorithm has been developed, as well as a full rate-distortion modelling of the H.264/AVC transrater’s performances. Simulation results show that the proposed solution can extend the coverage area of HD video delivery up to more than one kilometre. It should allow the widespread distribution of HD video contents and increase the number of eligible subscribers.

There are externalities as a result of street vendors economic activities. The externalities may be negatives and may be positives.The method used to collect data through literature and the data collected is secondary data from reports and research publication. Negative externalities caused by the street vendors are accessibility of public spaces, garbage, open space inharmony, dirty and untidy, traffic congestion, pedestrian interference and the possibility of diseases due to lack of sanitation. Tragedy of the commons happened due to excessive uses of public facilities resulting in reduced or loss of its function. The Positive externalities are generate jobs, as a distributor, security, bring the servicecloser to the customers and means of recreation. In the newinstitutional economic point of view, the government needs to intervene as a governing body to avoid the tragedy of the commons over excessive use of public resources in the form of an open area which supposed to be able to be utilised by the society.

ABSTRACTGood Corporate Governance (GCG) is a important measure in the corporation an business practice. Some fact that showed lowed rank in the implementation of GCG in Indonesia, had been one of important factors that caused economic crisis and slow face of economic growth in Indonesia, This is had been a trigger to all stakeholders to continue encourage implementation of GCG in Indonesia. There are four important principal in GCG that now continue to encourage, fairness, transparency, accountability, and responsibility.At the level of practice, the application of GCG in Indonesia, especially in BUMN and BUMD is still very low. Some of the obstacles that hinder the implementation of GCG in Indonesia, especially in BUMN and BUMD are the internal constraints, external constraints, and constraints of ownership. To overcome the obstacles it needs to be stressed to continue to raise awareness of all stakeholders about the important of GCG implementation, strengthening the legal basis of GCG implementation, strengthening  government system reform until clean government that free from corruption had been establish, and do some reform throughout the business corporation that runs in Indonesia. Keywords : strategy, GCG, BUMN, BUMD   STRATEGI PENGEMBANGAN DAN PENERAPAN GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (GCG) BAGI BUMN DAN BUMD DI INDONESIA ABSTRAKGood Corporate Governance (GCG) merupakan sebuah instrumen penting dalam praktek bisnis dan perusahaan. Fakta menunjukkan bahwa rendahnya penerapan GCG di Indonesia telah menjadi salah satu faktor penting terjadinya krisis ekonomi di Indonesia serta lambatnya pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia. Hal ini telah menjadi pendorong berbagai pihak untuk terus mendorong penerapan GCG di Indonesia. Empat prinsip penting dalam GCG yang saat ini terus didorong untuk diterapkan adalah kewajaran, transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan responsibilitas. Pada tataran praktek, penerapan GCG di Indonesia, khususnya pada BUMN dan BUMD masih sangat rendah. Beberapa kendala yang menghambat penerapan GCG di Indonesia, khususnya pada BUMN dan BUMD adalah kendala internal, kendala eksternal, dan kendala kepemilikan. Untuk mengatasi berbagai kendala tersebut maka perlu ditekankan untuk terus meningkatkan kesadaran berbagai pihak akan pentingnya penerapan GCG,   memperkuat   dasar  hukum  penerapan  GCG,   mereformasi  sistem  pemerintahan  hingga terciptanya praktek clean government yang bebas KKN serta reformasi di seluruh korporasi bisnis yang berjalan di Indonesia. Kata kunci : strategy, GCG, BUMN, BUMD
KOMPETISI DAN PENUNDUKAN BIROKRASI PADA REZIM KNOWLEDGE-BASED DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Paskarina Caroline
Published: March 2017

Tulisan ini ingin mengungkapkan bagaimana pembangunan sebagai praktik kekuasaan berlangsung atas dasar klaim kebenaran tertentu yang menjadi instrumen untuk mempertahankan kemapanan. Dengan menggunakan konsep kekuasaan produktif dari Foucault (2002), yang dioperasionalisasikan dengan metode analisis diskursus, akan ditunjukkan bagaimana praktik pembangunan diarahkan untuk tunduk pada rezim knowledge management. Penguasaan akan pengetahuan dan kemampuan untuk mengelola berbagai informasi secara sistematis menjadi sangat strategis untuk menjamin keberlanjutan pembangunan. Masuknya rezim ini dalam pembangunan menjadi dasar argumen untuk mendorong perubahan cara kerja birokrasi. Birokrasi sebagai institusi yang berwenang mengalokasikan sumber-sumber daya didisiplinkan melalui penetapan berbagai standar agar mampu mengelola data dan informasi untuk pengambilan keputusan. Penundukan birokrasi pada rezim knowledge management untuk berinovasi mengubah praktik pembangunan menjadi lebih terukur, tapi di sisi lain, juga menjebak birokrasi pada rigiditas prosedur pengelolaan pengetahuan, sehingga mengabaikan makna utama pembangunan sebagai penciptaan kesejahteraan bukan sekedar pencapaian angka.

Effect of Age on the Foraging Behaviour of Grey Heron Ardea Cinerea L., 1758 at a Submontane Dam Reservoir in the Post-Breeding Season
Authors: Gwiazda Robert , Flis Adam , Skórka Piotr , Oleś Wioleta
Published: March 2017

The components of foraging behaviour and success of adult and juvenile Grey Heron Ardea cinerea were studied at the Dobczyce Reservoir (southern Poland) in July and September 2015. Juvenile and adult birds moved at similar rates during both months. Fish capture attempt rate was significantly higher for juvenile birds than for adults in July but not in September. Capture rate and foraging success probability (number of captures over all attempts) was significantly lower in juveniles in July but not in September. The foraging success probability of juveniles increased from July to September. Adult and juvenile birds caught mostly small fish, with no differences in size. However, handling time in juvenile birds was much longer than in adults in July but not in September, after controlling for differences in prey size. Thus, juvenile Grey Heron increased their efficiency of catching fish from July to September by reducing the number of mistakes, probably as a result of experience.
A Biochemical Study Of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Hdl-C) Changes In Middle Aged Common People With Different Lifestyle
Authors: Kanna Suresh , Thamizhvanan Premila , Bharathi Jaya
Published: March 2017

Background and rationale: HDL cholesterol is one of the 5 major groups of lipoproteins cholesterol, which enable lipids like cholesterol and TG to be transported within the water based blood stream. In healthy persons, about thirty percent of blood cholesterol is carried by HDL cholesterol. HDL-C is a potent predictor of coronary heart disease. Genetic as well as environmental factors including lifestyle factors play a role as determinants of its level in the blood. To examine the effects of certain lifestyle factors on serum level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in young adult people HDL cholesterol seems to protect against CVD which increases the risk for heart disease.Subjects and methods: Three hundred and twenty five young adult subjects of both sexes aged 18-45 years asymptomatic for cardiovascular diseases were interviewed according to special questionnaire including information on lifestyle habits. Physical examination was done, height, body weight, and blood pressure measurements were performed. Blood analysis to determine the blood level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol was done after 12 hours fasting.Results and conclusion: Smoking and obesity were the most significant risk factors associated with a decreased level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. The level of HDL-C was 50.5±11.5 mg/dl in smokers compared with 57.7±12.5 mg/dl in nonsmokers. Its level was 48.5 ±8.5 mg/dl in obese individuals compared to 57.5±11.7mg/dl in normal body weight subjects. Physical activity was not significantly associated with low level of HDL-C analysis, but it was found to be significantly associated with its level by the multiple regression analysis. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was a function of many factors, some of them were lifestyle related such as smoking, physical activity, and obesity. Therefore, efforts to encourage more physical activity, quitting smoking, consuming low fat diet, and keeping ideal body weight are recommended.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.16(2) 2017 p.289-294

Authors: Bekdas Mervan , Unal Fatih , Demircioglu Fatih
Published: March 2017

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine related to gluten. CD is diagnosed by the evaluation of histologic findings according to the Marsh classification.Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and laboratory differences of CD according to Marsh classification.Patients and method: The records of ?Marsh 2 histologically diagnosed 132 cases were evaluated.Results: It was determined that 7(5.3%) cases were Marsh 2, 32(24.2%) were Marsh 3a, 73(55.3%) were Marsh 3b, and 20(15.1%) were Marsh 3c. Vomiting in Marsh 2 was significantly lower than Marsh 3b and Marsh 3c (respectively, 14.3% vs. 56.9%, p=0.029; and 14.3% vs. 75%, p=0.005). Hemoglobin was significantly higher in Marsh 2 than Marsh 3b and Marsh 3c (respectively, 11.9±1.7 vs. 10.5±1.6 g/dl, p=0.038 and; 11.9±1.7 vs. 9.8±1.6 g/dl, p=0.005). Positive detection ratio for tTG IgA was significantly lower in Marsh 2 than Marsh 3a, Marsh 3b and Marsh 3c (respectively, 66.7% vs. 100%, p<0.001; 66.7% vs. 100%, p<0.001; and 66.7% vs. 94.1%, p=0.003). After the onset of gluten free diet, the time passed for the disappearance of tTG IgA seropositivity is significantly shorter in Marsh 2 than Marsh 3c (6±3.6 vs. 9.7±2.5 months, p=0.017).Conclusions: Gastrointestinal symptoms are more frequent in patients with severe small intestinal mucosal injury. tTG IgA seropositivity is associated with more severe disease. Clinical and laboratory findings of the patients are exacerbated when histopathological findings improve in CD.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.16(2) 2017 p.259-265

Le Télémaque De Fénelon (1699), Chef D’oeuvre Utopique
Authors: Marc’hadour Germain
Published: March 2017

Le roman intitulé Les Aventures de Télémaque, fils d’Ulysse, connut, dès sa parution ( 1699), un succès qui n’a pas eu d’éclipse. Il a fourni au moins deux termes au vocabulaire international: mentor et Salente. L’impact de l’oeuvre est inséparable de la personnalité de l’auteur: Fénelon avait publié un Traité de l’éducation des filles, qui contribua à le faire nommer précepteur du petit-fils de Louis XIV, poste qui l’achemina vers celui d’archevêque de Cambrai. Son vaste diocèse, où More avait signé la Paix des Dames en 1529, jouxtait les Flandres, et pâtissait des guerres menées sur cette frontière jusqu’à la paix d’Utrecht (1713). L’Ulysse dont il se fait le Mentor par Télémaque interposé est l’héritier présomptif du Roi-Soleil: il le promène de nation en nation pour lui faire honnir celles qui sont belliqueuses, et apprécier celles où la loi est souveraine, où l’agriculture est à l’honneur, et d’où sont bannis le luxe et l’ostentation. La palme rev ient à la république de Salente, véritable famille comme l’Utopie de More, et en outre dotée d’un climat idyllique. Louis XIV se fâcha: “Il décrie mon règne!” Bossuet s’offusqua: “écrire un roman est indigne d’un prêtre.” Mais l’oeuvre s’est imposée comme un classique.

We propose a practical Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model termed the CNN for Semantic Segmentation for driver Assistance system (CSSA). It is a novel semantic segmentation model for probabilistic pixel-wise segmentation, which is able to predict pixel-wise class labels of a given input image. Recently, scene understanding has turned out to be one of the emerging areas of research, and pixel-wise semantic segmentation is a key tool for visual scene understanding. Among future intelligent systems, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is one of the most favorite research topic. The CSSA is a road scene understanding CNN that could be a useful constituent of the ADAS toolkit. The proposed CNN network is an encoder-decoder model, which is built on convolutional encoder layers adopted from the Visual Geometry Group’s VGG-16 net, whereas the decoder is inspired by segmentation network (SegNet). The proposed architecture mitigates the limitations of the existing methods based on state-of-the-art encoder-decoder design. The encoder performs convolution, while the decoder is responsible for deconvolution and un-pooling/up-sampling to predict pixel-wise class labels. The key idea is to apply the up-sampling decoder network, which maps the low-resolution encoder feature maps. This architecture substantially reduces the number of trainable parameters and reuses the encoder’s pooling indices to up-sample to map pixel-wise classification and segmentation. We have experimented with different activation functions, pooling methods, dropout units and architectures to design an efficient CNN architecture. The proposed network offers a significant improvement in performance in segmentation results while reducing the number of trainable parameters. Moreover, there is a considerable improvement in performance in comparison to the benchmark results over PASCAL VOC-12 and the CamVid.

Silicon (Si)/organic polymer hybrid solar cells have great potential for becoming cost-effective and efficient energy-harvesting devices. We report herein on the effects of polymer coverage and the rear electrode on the device performance of Si/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) hybrid solar cells with micro-pyramidal structures. These hybrid solar cells provided adequate generation of charge carriers owing to the suppression of reflectance to below 13%. Additionally, the separation of the photogenerated charge carriers at the micro-pyramidal-structured Si/PEDOT:PSS interface regions and their collection at the electrodes were dramatically improved by tuning the adhesion areas of the PEDOT:PSS layer and the rear electrode materials, thereby attaining a power conversion efficiency of 8.25%. These findings suggest that it is important to control the PEDOT:PSS coverage and to optimize the rear electrode materials in order to achieve highly efficient separation of the charge carriers and their effective collection in micro-textured hybrid solar cells.
Pareto-Efficient Capacity Planning for Residential Photovoltaic Generation and Energy Storage with Demand-Side Load Management
Authors: Jung Somi , Kim Dongwoo
Published: March 2017

Optimal sizing of residential photovoltaic (PV) generation and energy storage (ES) systems is a timely issue since government polices aggressively promote installing renewable energy sources in many countries, and small-sized PV and ES systems have been recently developed for easy use in residential areas. We in this paper investigate the problem of finding the optimal capacities of PV and ES systems in the context of home load management in smart grids. Unlike existing studies on optimal sizing of PV and ES that have been treated as a part of designing hybrid energy systems or polygeneration systems that are stand-alone or connected to the grid with a fixed energy price, our model explicitly considers the varying electricity price that is a result of individual load management of the customers in the market. The problem we have is formulated by a D-day capacity planning problem, the goal of which is to minimize the overall expense paid by each customer for the planning period. The overall expense is the sum of expenses to buy electricity and to install PV and ES during D days. Since each customer wants to minimize his/her own monetary expense, their objectives look conflicting, and we first regard the problem as a multi-objective optimization problem. Additionally, we secondly formulate the problem as a D-day noncooperative game between customers, which can be solved in a distributed manner and, thus, is better fit to the pricing practice in smart grids. In order to have a converging result of the best-response game, we use the so-called proximal point algorithm. With numerical investigation, we find Pareto-efficient trajectories of the problem, and the converged game-theoretic solution is shown to be mostly worse than the Pareto-efficient solutions.

Multiple nanos genes have been characterized in several fishes, but the functional implications of their various expression patterns remain unclear. In this study, we identified and characterized four nanos genes from a hermaphroditic fish orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Ecnanos1a and Ecnanos1b show divergent expression patterns, and the dynamic expression change of Ecnanos1a in pituitaries during sex change is associated with testis differentiation and spermatogenesis. Ecnanos2 and Ecnanos3 might be germline stem cells (GSCs) and primordial germ cells (PGCs)-specific markers, respectively. Significantly, Ecnanos3 3′-untranslated region (UTR) is necessary for PGC specific expression, where a non-canonical “GCACGTTT” sequence is required for miR-430-mediated repression of Ecnanos3 RNA. Furthermore, grouper Dead end (Dnd) can relieve miR-430 repression in PGCs by associating with a 23 bp U-rich region (URR) in Ecnanos3 3′-UTR. The current study revealed the functional association of multiple nanos genes with PGC formation and germ cell development in orange-spotted grouper, and opened up new possibilities for developing biotechnologies through utilizing the associations between Ecnanos3 and PGCs or between Ecnanos2 and GSCs in the hermaphroditic fish.

Two novel biscembranoids, sarelengans A and B (1 and 2), five new cembranoids, sarelengans C–G (3–7), along with two known cembranoids (8 and 9) were isolated from the South China Sea soft coral Sarcophyton elegans. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods, and those of 1, 4, 5, and 6 were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first example of biscembranoids featuring a trans-fused A/B-ring conjunction between the two cembranoid units. Their unique structures may shed light on an unusual biosynthetic pathway involving a cembranoid-∆8 rather than the normal cembranoid-∆1 unit in the endo-Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited potential inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophages, with IC50 values being at 18.2 and 32.5 μM, respectively.

An increasing prevalence of diabetes is known as a main risk for human health in the last future worldwide. There is limited evidence on the potential management of type 2 diabetes mellitus using bioactive peptides from marine organisms, besides from milk and beans. We summarized here recent advances in our understanding of the regulation of glucose metabolism using bioactive peptides from natural proteins, including regulation of insulin-regulated glucose metabolism, such as protection and reparation of pancreatic β-cells, enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and influencing the sensitivity of insulin and the signaling pathways, and inhibition of bioactive peptides to dipeptidyl peptidase IV, α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities. The present paper tried to understand the underlying mechanism involved and the structure characteristics of bioactive peptides responsible for its antidiabetic activities to prospect the utilization of rich marine organism proteins.

Neoagarooligosaccharides (NAOs), mainly comprising neoagarotetraose and neoagarohexaose, were prepared by hydrolyzing agar with β-agarase DagA from Streptomyces coelicolor, and the anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects of NAOs on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in mice were investigated after NAOs-supplementation for 64 days. Compared to the HFD group, the HFD-0.5 group that was fed with HFD + NAOs (0.5%, w/w) showed remarkable reduction of 36% for body weight gain and 37% for food efficiency ratios without abnormal clinical signs. Furthermore, fat accumulation in the liver and development of macrovesicular steatosis induced by HFD in the HFD-0.5 group were recovered nearly to the levels found in the normal diet (ND) group. NAOs intake could also effectively reduce the size (area) of adipocytes and tissue weight gain in the perirenal and epididymal adipose tissues. The increased concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and free fatty acid in serum of the HFD group were also markedly ameliorated to the levels found in serum of the ND group after NAOs-intake in a dose dependent manner. In addition, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance induced by HFD were distinctly improved, and adiponectin concentration in the blood was notably increased. All these results strongly suggest that intake of NAOs can effectively suppress obesity and obesity-related metabolic syndromes, such as hyperlipidemia, steatosis, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance, by inducing production of adiponectin in the HFD-induced obese mice.
Hyperspectral Monitoring of Green Roof Vegetation Health State in Sub-Mediterranean Climate: Preliminary Results

Published: March 2017

In urban and industrial environments, the constant increase of impermeable surfaces has produced drastic changes in the natural hydrological cycle. Decreasing green areas not only produce negative effects from a hydrological-hydraulic perspective, but also from an energy point of view, modifying the urban microclimate and generating, as shown in the literature, heat islands in our cities. In this context, green infrastructures may represent an environmental compensation action that can be used to re-equilibrate the hydrological and energy balance and reduce the impact of pollutant load on receiving water bodies. To ensure that a green infrastructure will work properly, vegetated areas have to be continuously monitored to verify their health state. This paper presents a ground spectroscopy monitoring survey of a green roof installed at the University of Calabria fulfilled via the acquisition and analysis of hyperspectral data. This study is part of a larger research project financed by European Structural funds aimed at understanding the influence of green roofs on rainwater management and energy consumption for air conditioning in the Mediterranean area. Reflectance values were acquired with a field-portable spectroradiometer that operates in the range of wavelengths 350–2500 nm. The survey was carried out during the time period November 2014–June 2015 and data were acquired weekly. Climatic, thermo-physical, hydrological and hydraulic quantities were acquired as well and related to spectral data. Broadband and narrowband spectral indices, related to chlorophyll content and to chlorophyll–carotenoid ratio, were computed. The two narrowband indices NDVI705 and SIPI turned out to be the most representative indices to detect the plant health status.

Published: March 2017

In this paper, we propose a multi-view structural local subspace tracking algorithm based on sparse representation. We approximate the optimal state from three views: (1) the template view; (2) the PCA (principal component analysis) basis view; and (3) the target candidate view. Then we propose a unified objective function to integrate these three view problems together. The proposed model not only exploits the intrinsic relationship among target candidates and their local patches, but also takes advantages of both sparse representation and incremental subspace learning. The optimization problem can be well solved by the customized APG (accelerated proximal gradient) methods together with an iteration manner. Then, we propose an alignment-weighting average method to obtain the optimal state of the target. Furthermore, an occlusion detection strategy is proposed to accurately update the model. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate that our tracker outperforms the state-of-the-art trackers in a wide range of tracking scenarios.
