Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of mortality worldwide, including in most Western countries and Asian countries such as Malaysia. Reports by The Department of Statistics Malaysia highlighted that ischaemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular disease, which are a few of CVD, was the principal cause of death in 2016 and 2017. At the same time, big data is a part of Malaysia's fast-growing technology and has grown prominently in the six Malaysian government's public sector clustering which are profiling, social, economy, transportation, education, and also in healthcare. This paper focuses on healthcare big data, which is a prime example of how the three Vs of data, velocity (speed of generation of data), variety, and volume, are an innate aspect of the data it produces. Most healthcare data analytics has been conducted in the United States and Europe, however there were some studies in Canada and very little in Asia. This study will be conducted in Selangor, Malaysia focusing on white-collar workers among the Selangor healthy community. Interviews will be held within medical practitioner or healthcare provider in order to collected information. The information available from the National Cardiovascular Database (NCVD) published reports will be used to conduct the data analysis experiments which will lead towards the identification of CVD risk factors. The results obtained show that data crawling of social media data can be used as a means towards healthcare big data analytics. This will hence aid in the Malaysian healthcare integration process and aid the Malaysian government to provide better healthcare for the overall Malaysian healthy community and society.

Low standards of air quality are amongst the greatest in ranks of risks to public health as well as the risks to climatic conditions. A substantial amount of costs and efficiency misfortunes are identified with poor indoor air quality. Air quality is extraordinarily troublesome for plenty to gauge or sense; therefore, the general population can't say whether air quality is undesirable. In the interim, the vast majority of the predominant air quality action gadgets are intended for experts; It is expensive and on the far side the compass of normal clients. Throughout this paper, associate degree robot application based mostly real-time air quality watching system is created, which could be handily used for private body space micro-climate watching and conjointly useful for individuals suffering from metabolism bother by unceasingly watching the parameters that are harmful. The detector node is enforced with a most well-liked Arduino prototyping board, a Bluetooth module, and a form of low-priced small gas-sensors.
Language Identification based on Support Vector Machine using GMM Super vectors
Authors:   professor in CSE at MGIT, Hyderabad,India., Nagesh* Dr A.
Published: May 2020

This paper proposes a novel approach that combines the power of generative Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and discriminative support vector machines (SVM). The main objective this paper is to incorporating the GMM super vectors based on SVM classifier for language identification (LID) task. The GMM based LID system to capture all the variations present in phonotactic constraints imposed by the language requires large amount of training data. The Gaussian mixture model (GMM)- universal background model (UBM) modeling require less amount of training data. In GMM-UBM LID system, a language model is created by maximum a posterior (MAP) adaptation of the means of the universal background model (UBM). Here the GMM super vectors are created by concatenating the means of the adapted mixture components from UBM. Then these super vectors are applied to a SVM for classification purpose. In this paper, the performance of GMM-UBM LID system based on SVM is compared with the conventional GMM LID system. Form the performance analysis it is found that GMM-UBM LID system based on SVM is performed well when compared to GMM based LID system.
ON THE EXTENSION OF GROUPS
Authors: Mike Louis
Published: May 2020

Recently, there has been much interest in the extension of Turing, pseudo-associative, linearly Cavalieri Milnor vectors. Hence this reduces the results of [13] to results of [27]. We wish to extend the results of [27] to canonical, pseudo-minimal hulls. The groundbreaking work of G. Maruyama on

hyperbolic classes was a major advance. In this setting, the ability to derive right-multiply positive polytopes is essential. Unfortunately, we cannot assume that there exists an unique orthogonal homomorphism.
A novel energy-motion model for continuous sEMG decoding: from muscle energy to motor pattern
Authors: Liu Gang , Wang Lu , Wang Jing
Published: May 2020

Myoelectric prosthetic hands create the possibility for amputees to control their prosthetics like native hands. However, user acceptance of the extant myoelectric prostheses is low. Unnatural control, lack of sufficient feedback, and insufficient functionality are cited as primary reasons. Recently, although many multiple degrees-of-freedom (DOF) prosthetic hands and tactile-sensitive electronic skins have been developed, no non-invasive myoelectric interfaces can decode both forces and motions for five-fingers independently and simultaneously. This paper proposes a myoelectric interface based on energy allocation and fictitious forces hypothesis by mimicking the natural neuromuscular system. The energy-based interface uses a kind of continuous “energy mode” in the level of the entire hand. According to tasks itself, each energy mode can adaptively and simultaneously implement multiple hand motions and exerting continuous forces for a single finger. Also, a few learned energy modes could extend to the unlearned energy mode, highlighting the extensibility of this interface. We evaluate the proposed system through off-line analysis and operational experiments performed on the expression of the unlearned hand motions, the amount of finger energy, and real-time control. With active exploration, the participant was proficient at exerting just enough energy to five fingers on “fragile” or “heavy” objects independently, proportionally, and simultaneously in real-time. The main contribution of this paper is proposing the bionic energy-motion model of hand: decoding a few muscle-energy modes of the human hand (only ten modes in this paper) map massive tasks of bionic hand.

Purpose: characterization of vFiraVax (the causative agent of chickenpox - VZV) and vZelVax (the causative agent of shingles - HZ) vaccine strains by their ability to bind to preparations of brain membrane receptors of SPF BALB/c mice.Materials and Methods. The study was performed on cold-adapted vFiraVax VZV and vZelVax HZ vaccine strains developed by the authors on the basis of the wild-type parental pFira VZV virus (chickenpox causative agent) and the latent parental lpZel HZ virus (shingles causative agent); vOka vaccine strains isolated from vaccines against VZV infection from two manufactures (United Kingdom and USA); the HEL-3 strain of diploid cells from human embryonic lung tissue, the MC 27 strain of diploid cells from human embryonic musculocutaneous tissue, primary and diploid cells from guinea pig fetal fibroblasts. The VZV infectivity was estimated by the limiting dilution method using MC 27 cell cultures or guinea pig fetal fibroblasts. The virus titer was measured by the hemadsorption test performed with suspensions of red blood cells from guinea pig or human type 0 positive blood. Negative staining and electron microscopy were used to study the virus preparation. The immunogenicity of vFiraVax VZV and vZelVax HZ virus strains was compared with the immunogenicity of vOka VZV virus strains from different manufacturers by using a cross-neutralization test with immune sera.Results. The Russian cold-adapted vFiraVax VZV and vZelVax HZ vaccine strains, the latent parental lpZel HZ virus and the vOka VZV vaccine strain (United Kingdom) did not bind to preparations of brain neuroreceptors of SPF BALB/c mice as distinct from the wild-type parental pFira VZV variant and vOka VZV vaccine strains (USA); the absent neurotropism of Russian vFiraVax VZV and vZelVax HZ vaccine strains is not connected with the decreased immunogenicity in relation to foreign counterparts; the electron microscope study of the vFiraVax VZV virus containing liquid concentrate detected VZV nucleocapsids.Conclusion. The differences in the VZV ability to bind to preparations of brain membrane receptors of SPF BALB/c mice can be explained by the differences in the technology of vaccine manufacturing, including attenuation techniques, obtaining of the vaccine strain, specific characteristics of the latent parental lpZel HZ virus. The absence of the binding with brain neuroreceptors of SPF mice has been proved for the Russian vFiraVax VZV and vZelVax HZ vaccine strains which was is not connected with a decrease in their immunogenicity. The method of assessment of the binding ability of VZV vaccine strains can be used as a preliminary characteristic of neurotropism for newly created vaccine strains and for vaccine products.

Objective. To study the role of influenza viruses in the development of severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) in patients admitted to Yekaterinburg hospitals during 2017-2018 epidemic season.Materials and Methods. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of influenza incidence in Yekaterinburg was conducted, 403 influenza and acute respiratory viral infections case sheets were studied, and PCR analysis of clinical samples from the patients for respiratory viral infections was performed.Results. During the epidemic period a total 27.0% of the Yekaterinburg population were reported with influenza and other SARI, with 1.8% patients hospitalized. 5.6% of the total number of patients admitted with influenza and SARI in Yekaterinburg hospitals were included in the study. The rate of the detection of influenza A and B viruses RNA in the clinical samples from the patients with SARI was 28.3%. The rates of the detection in PCR of influenza B/Yamagata, A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) were 46.5, 20.2 and 10.5%, respectively.Conclusion. The study results indicated that influenza viruses remain significant pathogens of respiratory infections that required hospitalization. Among patients with SARI the highest incidence was observed in children of a younger age group and was mainly associated with influenza B virus of Yamagata lineage and influenza A virus (H1N1)pdm09. According to the results of a molecular genetic study, influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 viruses belonged to clade 6B.1, carried characteristic amino acid substitutions in hemagglutinin S84N, S162N (with the acquisition of a potential glycosylation site) and I216T and were similar to the A/Michigan/45/2015 vaccine strain. The influenza B viruses studied belonged to the Yamagata lineage, clade 3. The influenza B/Ekaterinburg /RII-4723S/2018 virus differed from the reference strain B/Phuket/3073/2013 by two amino acid substitutions in the hemagglutinin gene M251V and L172Q.
Tick-borne encephalitis in the Far East focal region of the Eurasian continent
Authors: Leonova Galina N.
Published: May 2020

The analysis of the activity of natural foci of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in the Far Eastern Federal District (Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories, the Jewish Autonomous and Amur Regions), represented by a single Sikhote-Alin focal region was performed. Endemic territories of China, Korea, Japan are adjacent to this focal region. In the last decade the decrease of the infection rate in ixodid ticks and the morbidity of TBE compared to the 1990s was observed. Data on the infection rates in ixodid ticks based on ELISA, PCR and TBEV isolation are often discrepant. Active circulation of TBEV that involved dominant and less significant species of ixodid ticks and mouse-like rodents has been demonstrated since 1952 in China, since the 1990s in Japan and since 2011 in South Korea. The circulation of TBEV strains of the Far Eastern subtype was determined in all these territories. The exception was 7 strains isolated in South Korea, which appeared to be the European subtype based on the results of molecular genetic analysis. Two new strains of TBEV from the organs of wild rodents Marmota himalayana were isolated in 2017 in the territories of previously unknown natural foci in the Tien Shan, China. The genetic divergence of these strains from three TBEV subtypes allowed us to establish the existance of a new Himalayan TBEV subtype (Him-TBEV), which, according to the authors, has been "hidden" for hundreds of years. One can also speculate the processes of emergence of new TBEV subtypes The most complete picture of the Far Eastern population of TBEV was obtained in the last decade of the twentieth century, which served as the basis and impetus for the study and comparative analysis of the differences in numerous strains of TBEV isolated on the territory of the Eurasian continent.
The Wandering Jew
Authors: Woolf Michael
Published: May 2020

This essay examines the interaction between the myth of the Wandering Jew, diaspora history and the notion of cosmopolitanism. This is a paradoxical synthesis that points in several directions: towards the ideals embedded in international education; towards the roots of anti-Semitism; in the direction of the notion of cosmopolitanism as a crime against the nation (something that Hitler, Stalin and Henry Ford agreed upon). The figure of the Wandering Jew has roots in history and myth and is a presence in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The figure wanders through history as an emblem of a cursed outcast, the possessor of arcane secrets, and a sophisticated global flâneur. The essay explores Biblical, literary, and historical sources with further reference to memoirs including Edmund de Waal’s The Hare with Amber Eyes.
Traditional African religions and their influences on the worldviews of Bangwa people of Cameroon
Authors: Ndemanu Michael T.
Published: May 2020

This essay explores the traditional African religious beliefs and practices of the people of Bangwa in the Southwestern region of Cameroon in order to uncover how those beliefs influence their thought processes and worldviews. In the course of rethinking and re-examining their belief systems and their traditional religious practices, the following themes emerged: religious sacrifices, observance of the Sabbath, belief system, incontrovertible belief in God, sorcery and divine retribution, the dead and the living, inequality and class divide, dreams and interpretation, names and religious identity. The implication of the essay is that study abroad should encompass religious studies that help study abroad students learn ways of thinking and knowing of their host countries.
Convivencia, Abrahamic Religions and Study Abroad in Spain
Authors: McCoy Mitchell A. , Smith Holt Sally
Published: May 2020

As a point of departure for understanding the complexities of Spanish national and individual identities, it is incumbent that a student begins by investigating Spanish iterations of the three Abrahamic religions. This presupposition of religion’s centrality in the pursuit of better-informed understandings of the Spanish nation, people, history and culture has served as a cornerstone in the construction of Belmont University’s Maymester study abroad program in Spain and as a lodestar in its evolution. This article will describe the genesis of the program, analyze curricular changes over time and offer a critical reflection about why international study is the quintessential milieu for achieving the sought-after objective: understanding the role of religions and the concept of convivencia in the cultivation of Spanish identities.

Published: May 2020

In this manuscript, the authors detail the initial evaluations of the effects of participation in two iterations of an interdisciplinary learning community with a short-term study abroad opportunity on undergraduate student learning and behavior. The results suggest that the CHE (Cultural, Historical, and Environmental) log tool may be useful in capturing information about students’ interactions with their native and foreign environments and how their experiences further affect their later interactions with their native environment. These findings are discussed in terms of methodological revisions made to the procedures and experimental methods to strengthen the reliability and validity of the conclusions and the implications for integrating teaching and scholarship in mutually beneficial ways.
Estudio comparativo de la ética ante lo nuevo en la investigación acción y el maoísmo
Authors: Olivo Pérez Miguel Angel , Abud Jaso Juan José
Published: May 2020

En el presente artículo, se expone un estudio comparativo de corte cualitativo, de dos formas de indagación grupal: a) La investigación acción, cuyo pionero fundador fue Kurt Lewin (1973) en Estados Unidos, misma que posteriormente sería desarrollada en el campo de la educación (Stenhouse, 2007, Elliot, 2000, 2018, Shön, 1992, Brockbank y McGill, 2002, Wenger, 2001, Wittrock, 1989), b) El maoísmo, que tuvo su origen en la doctrina de Mao Zendog promovida durante la Revolución China (Paternostro, 1972, Mehnert, 1973, Nee y Peck, 1975), así como durante la Revolución Cultural China (Piao, 1975; MacFarquhar y Schoenhals, 2009). El propósito de la investigación fue estudiar y evaluar el componente ético de ambas, entendido como la capacidad de hacer frente a lo nuevo (Badiou, 2010a), donde de manera potencial surgen o se reformulan determinados compromisos y figuras de autoridad. Para ello, se siguió la metodología de comparación de tendencias espontáneamente desarrolladas, lo cual se dio desde el diseño organizativo de un mismo punto de partida en el tiempo. Es decir, como primer paso se organizó un solo curso taller con alumnas educadoras que trabajan con niños de nivel preescolar, donde se promovió la indagación acerca de las intervenciones a niños con alteraciones en su desarrollo. Y como segundo paso, se fueron realizando observaciones etnográficas a lo largo del proceso destinadas a obtener datos sobre los compromisos y figuras de autoridad. Del proceso surgieron dos subgrupos: uno más próximo al maoísmo y el otro a la investigación acción. Las aportaciones destacan la importancia de la ética frente a lo nuevo, desde un fuerte compromiso en la resolución de los problemas, lo cual exige trascender la obediencia mecánica a la norma, para en cambio aceptar plenamente la autoridad emergida del exceso del encuentro amoroso.
فلسفة الفكاهة والضحك في مقامات الهمذاني: المقامة الموصلية نموذجا
Authors: غبان مريم
Published: May 2020

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى فحص المقومات الفنية للنص السردي الفكاهي، ضمن إطار تنظيري يستكشف الأبعاد الفلسفية والقيم الإنسانية في المقولات الفكاهية، منطلقا من نموذج تطبيقي هو (المقامة الموصلية) لبديع الزمان الهمذاني. في ظل هذه الرؤية النقدية حاولت الدراسة الإجابة عن السؤال الآتي:

ما الدلالات الرمزية والفلسفية، التي تصنع المفارقة الساخرة في خطاب المقامة الموصلية، وما أثرها في تشكيل المكونات السردية؟    

   وقد توسلت الدراسة بالمنهج السيميائي الذي يستثمر فرضية التعاضد التأويلي التي قالها أمبرتو إيكو (1996) في سياق حديثة عن فضاءات النص البيضاء، وفرجاته التي ينبغي ملؤها. مبرهنًا على أهمية التفاعل بين النص والمؤول.

     ومن هنا تظهر أهمية هذه الدراسة التي تعيد قراءة نص تراثي في ظل نظرية نقدية حديثة تتخذ من الانفتاح في النص السردي مفهوما يقود إلى جمالية تلقي التراث السردي في الأدب العربي. وكانت أبرز النتائج التي توصلت إليها الدراسة، هي اكتشاف أوجه التقابل السلوكي التي تعترض المعنى المتخفي في الخطاب الفكاِهي في المقامة الموصلية، والتي أسهمت بدور كبير في تشكيل المكونات السردية، وقد نتج عن هذا التمازج تفاعل جمالي في فضاء سردي خيالي يستغني بالتلميح عن التصريح الذي يستوجب المحاسبة وتقويض حرية التعبير.

Beberapa teori tentang keadilan telah dikembangkan sebagai panduan, namun mesti disadari bahwa tidak ada teori maupun cara tunggal untuk mendefinisikan keadilan yang memuaskan untuk semua. Dalam tulisan ini, penulis memilih untuk membandingkan dua pemikir teori keadilan, yakni John Rawls dengan teori kontrak sosialnya dan Reinhold Niebuhr dengan teori keadilan menurut etika Protestan. Metode yang dipergunakan penulis adalah kajian pustaka. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mencari titik temu kedua pemikir ini pada konsep mereka tentang keadilan dan kasih.
Digitizing Scent and Flavor: A Copyright Perspective
Authors: Lopez Amara
Published: May 2020

Should the flavor of a cheese fall under copyright protection? The Court of Justice of the European Union recently confronted this question in Levola Hengelo BV v. Smilde Foods. Although the court ultimately denied protection, its reasoning opened many doors for those seeking intellectual property protection for scents and flavors. The court implied that it was the subjective nature of a cheese flavor that bars it from enjoying the protection copyright affords, which begs the question of what would happen if there were a sufficiently objective way to describe a flavor.

Recent developments in technology have led to the digitization of scent and flavor. In the intellectual property space, digitization provides a superior means of fixation for scents and flavors but it also threatens to make reverse engineering much easier. This would take away the protection trade secret law affords to scents and flavors. This will undoubtedly push industry leaders to seek more protection from the law. This Note explores how copyright law in the United States and the European Union might handle this new technology and argues that protection should not come in the United States until Congress weighs all considerations and adds a new subject matter category for scents and flavors to the U.S. Copyright Act.
From Inactivity to Full Enforcement: The Implementation of the "Do No Harm" Approach in Initial Coin Offerings
Authors: Dell'Erba Marco
Published: May 2020

This Article analyzes the way the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has enforced securities laws with regard to Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”). In a speech held in 2016, the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Chairman Christopher Giancarlo emphasized the similarities between the advent of the blockchain technology and the Internet era. He offered the “do no harm” approach as the best way to regulate blockchain technology. The Clinton administration implemented the “do no harm” approach at the beginning of the Internet Era in the 1990s when regulators sought to support technological innovations without stifling them with burdensome rules.

This Article suggests that the SEC adopted a “do no harm approach” and successfully pursued two of its fundamental institutional goals when enforcing securities laws in the context of ICOs: investor protection and preservation of capital formation. After providing a brief description of the basics of ICOs and the way they have evolved in the last two years, this Article examines the transition into a new phase of full enforcement action implemented by the SEC. This shift from inactivity to enforcement was gradual, characterized by clearly identifiable steps. Data on ICOs demonstrates that this rigorous enforcement of securities laws has not damaged the industry in the United States and may suggest that entrepreneurs have adapted to this enforcement approach. By contrast, a lack of enforcement would have probably increased uncertainty to the detriment of investors and entrepreneurs and put the UNITED STATES at a disadvantage in the international arena. Furthermore, this paper emphasizes the importance of pursuing specific goals in the short-to-medium term, particularly in order to make securities regulation uniform and avoid differences at the state and federal levels, as well as to encourage industry authorities such as Self-Regulatory Organizations (SROs) to develop high standards for self-regulation.

Introductory Essay: Purity and Pollution – German Texts, American Contexts
Authors: Ireton Sean

Maxine is thus confronted with “a collective history” by which Pynchon suggests that waste defines, or at least documents, our modern existence. Trash collection is thus more than a weekly event that takes place on every sidewalk or at the end of every driveway in
America; it has, rather, become a crucial component of our cultural collectivity. Bury it, burn it, even separate it all you want – rubbish remains inseparable from our human condition in the age of the Anthropocene. In Pynchon’s words, “this ‘looming and prophetic
landfill’ constitutes the “perfect negative of the city in its seething foul incoherence.”2 But there is more to Staten Island than meets the eye – or greets the nose. Maxine soon passes by Isle of Meadows, a 100-acre parcel of marshland that in the 1990s
managed to escape incorporation into the Fresh Kills Landfill and now enjoys the status of a nature preserve. It is off limits to humans (and their discarded junk) so that herons, egrets, and nature in general can recover, perhaps even thrive, amidst the surrounding toxic landscape. As Maxine
notes along these lines, this “piece of the ancient estuary [is] exempt from what happened, what has gone on happening.”3

Der moderne Schriftsteller kann nicht naiv sein. Nach Schillers kulturkritischer Diagnose ist er zum ,,Sentimentalischen“, mithin zur permanenten Selbstreflexion, immer schon verurteilt. Schillers asymmetrisches Gegenbegriffspaar ist freilich alles andere als scharf umrissen,
gleichwohl trifft man wohl einen Grundzug seiner Überlegungen, wenn man als sentimentalisch jene modernere, selbstentzweite Haltung des Kunstausübenden zur Kunst bezeichnet, die nicht mehr naiv schafft, sondern zugleich auf ihr Schaffen reflektiert: ,,Denn eben diese reine Einheit
ihres Ursprungs und ihres Effekts ist ein Charakter der naiven Dichtung“, so Schiller, um dann fortzufahren: ,,Ganz anders verhält es sich mit dem sentimentalischen Dichter. Dieser reflektiert über den Eindruck, den die Gegenstände auf ihn machen, und nur auf jene
Reflexion ist die Rührung gegründet, in die er selbst versetzt wird und uns versetzt.“1

In fact, the effectiveness and productivity of an organization is greatly affected by job satisfaction. Conversely, job dissatisfaction will cause a decrease in enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work. The number of cases of work strikes lately, irrespective of the motives of each individual, implies employee dissatisfaction with the organization. This is certainly very disturbing the effectiveness of the company as a form of organization. One program that needs to be considered in the context of optimizing human resources is to meet job satisfaction. With the fulfillment of job satisfaction, individual employees will try to improve their abilities. The success or failure of an organization depends on the ability of the organization to provide job satisfaction to its employees. The purpose of this study (1) To determine the simultaneous influence of compensation variables, interpersonal relationships, opportunities for achievement, and work conditions affect employee job satisfaction at the Bangil District General Hospital. (2) To determine the partial effect of compensation variables, interpersonal relations, opportunities for achievement, and work conditions affect employee job satisfaction at the Bangil District General Hospital. The results showed that simultaneous compensation variables, interpersonal relationships, achievement opportunities and working conditions have a significant influence on employee job satisfaction in Bangil District General Hospital, while partially the compensation variables, interpersonal relationships and working conditions have an influence on employee job satisfaction at General Hospitals Bangil area.

Attention in the physiological definition in one of several simultaneous occurrences of ideas takes ownership of the mind which means removing certain stuff to cope efficiently with others. Particular attention is required in driving in order to maintain track of the driver's vigilance to prevent the road accident. In this study, the driver's attention is analyzed by their driving performance from both the amplitude and accident rating of Electroencephalographic (EEG). The subjects were stimulated with radio talk, instrumental music and no sound (silent) in three separate recordings. It was found that drivers encounter much fewer accidents while listening to the radio talk compared to the music and worse driving score when driving in silence. This finding could be used as a foundation to develop tips or methodology to avoid the attention deficit while driving.

Published: May 2020

The present study is concerned with the reactions of consumers and firms to economic downturns. Specifically, it investigates to what extent the advertising has been used as marketing instrument to support brand sales during the downturn in business cycle (Great Recession 2011-2015) and whether advertising expenditures has significantly increased sales. The focus is on three Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Italian food categories. We use Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag models (ARDL). As a whole, our results support the presence of significant effects of own advertising for a selection of brands, not the whole, within the three analyzed categories. Moreover, advertising spending by competitors acts negatively in two categories out of three.

ВОДНЫЙ РЕЖИМ ОРОШАЕМЫХ СОЛОНЦОВЫХ КОМПЛЕКСНЫХ ПОЧВ И ОСОБЕННОСТИ ЕГО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ
Authors: Yashin Valery
Published: May 2020

Представлены материалы исследований формирования режима влажности и динамики грунтовых вод орошаемых солонцовых комплексных почв при различных способах полива, проведенные в Волгоградском Заволжье. Установлена значительная неравномерность распределения влажности почвы при поливах дождеванием. Отмечается поверхностный сток по микрорельефу до 30% от поливной нормы, что приводит к недостаточности увлажнения корневой зоны на солонцах и переувлажнению почв в понижениях микрорельефа и потере оросительной воды на инфильтрационное питание грунтовых вод.

A significant unevenness in the distribution of soil moisture during irrigation with sprinkling has been established. There is a surface runoff on the microrelief of up to 30% of the irrigation norm, which leads to insufficient moisture of the root zone on the salt flats and waterlogging of the soil in the microrelief depressions and loss of irrigation water for infiltration feed of ground water.

The disintegration of event files over time: Decay or interference?
Authors: Hommel Bernhard , Frings Christian
Published: May 2020

When facing particular combinations of stimuli and responses, people create temporary event files integrating the corresponding stimulus and response features. Repeating one or more of these features retrieves the entire event file, which impairs performance if not all features repeat (partial-repetition costs). We studied how durable event files are over time and how sensitive they are to intervening objects or stimulus-response events. After-effects of relevant and irrelevant stimulus-response bindings were assessed after intervals of 1 to 5 s between creation and retrieval of the binding that were either unfilled (Experiment 1A), filled with 0, 2, or 4 presentations of the same neutral stimulus (1B), or of changing stimuli (1C), or filled with 0, 2, or 4 task-unrelated stimulus-response combinations (2A) or the same number of repetitions of the binding-inducing stimulus-response combination (2B). Taken altogether, the findings show a strong impact on the duration of the interval but no systematic effect of the type and number of intervening events. This suggests that event files disintegrate over time, as a function of spontaneous decay, but not due to interference from other bindings.
Quantitative determination of the interaction potential between two surfaces using frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy

Published: May 2020

The interaction potential between two surfaces determines the adhesive and repulsive forces between them. It also determines interfacial properties, such as adhesion and friction, and is a key input into mechanics models and atomistic simulations of contacts. We have developed a novel methodology to experimentally determine interaction potential parameters, given a particular potential form, using frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy (AFM). Furthermore, this technique can be extended to the experimental verification of potential forms for any given material pair. Specifically, interaction forces are determined between an AFM tip apex and a nominally flat substrate using dynamic force spectroscopy measurements in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) environment. The tip geometry, which is initially unknown and potentially irregularly shaped, is determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging. It is then used to generate theoretical interaction force–displacement relations, which are then compared to experimental results. The method is demonstrated here using a silicon AFM probe with its native oxide and a diamond sample. Assuming the 6-12 Lennard-Jones potential form, best-fit values for the work of adhesion (Wadh) and range of adhesion (z0) parameters were determined to be 80 ± 20 mJ/m2 and 0.6 ± 0.2 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the shape of the experimentally extracted force curves was shown to deviate from that calculated using the 6-12 Lennard-Jones potential, having weaker attraction at larger tip–sample separation distances and weaker repulsion at smaller tip–sample separation distances. This methodology represents the first experimental technique in which material interaction potential parameters were verified over a range of tip–sample separation distances for a tip apex of arbitrary geometry.
