COMPARATIVE FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED AND X-RAY POWDER DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS OF NATURALLY OCCURRED K-FELDSPARS
Authors: Theodosoglou E. , Koroneos A. , Soldatos T. , Zorba T. , Paraskevopoulos K. M.
Published: July 2017

Natural K-feldspars from igneous rocks have been examined by means of X-ray powder diffraction(XRPD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the spectral range 400-1400 cm-1,where the Si-Al-O bonds exhibit the dominant vibrations. From the XRPD analysis three specieshave been distinguished, i.e. microclines (3 samples), orthoclases (4 samples) and sanidines (3 samples);their unit cell parameters were calculated. The FTIR transmittance spectra of all sampleshave common bands at 426, 463, 584, 604, 726 and 772 cm-1 and some additional features. The spectraof sanidine and orthoclase exhibit fewer and broader bands than the microclines’, especially inthe area 1000-1200 cm-1. The differences in their spectra are located in four bands. The bands ataround 536-538 and 646-648 cm-1 in the spectrum of microcline, are shifted at around 542-544 and640-642 cm-1 in the spectrum of orthoclase and at around 546 and 636 cm-1 in the spectrum of sanidine.Four bands at 1010, 1050, 1090 and 1136 cm-1 in the spectra of microcline are substitutedwith two quite broad bands at about 1030 and 1125 cm-1 in the spectra of orthoclase and sanidine.These differences are attributed to different degree of Al-Si ordering in the structure of K-feldspars.
ON THE OCCURRENCE OF A VOLCANIC ASH LAYER IN THE XYLOKASTRO AREA, NORTH PELOPONNESUS, GREECE: MINERALOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY
Authors: Vasilatos Ch. , Vlachou-Tsipoura M. , Stamatakis M.G.
Published: July 2017

This paper reports, for the first time, the occurrence of an ash layer intercalated within the Plio-Pleistocene lacustrine deposits near Xylokastro area, North Peloponnesus, Greece. Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the ash layer are the basis of this study. An attempt was made to correlate the present findings to the reported data from other ash deposits. The composition of the ash bed showed a dacitic to rhyolitic calc alkaline suit. The geochemistry of the volcanic ash indicates high crustal contamination of the lava and points to an origin from the northwest part of the Aegean volcanic arc.
Exploring differential evolution for inverse QSAR analysis
Authors: Miyao Tomoyuki , Funatsu Kimito , Bajorath Jürgen
Published: July 2017

Inverse quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling encompasses the generation of compound structures from values of descriptors corresponding to high activity predicted with a given QSAR model. Structure generation proceeds from descriptor coordinates optimized for activity prediction. Herein, we concentrate on the first phase of the inverse QSAR process and introduce a new methodology for coordinate optimization, termed differential evolution (DE), that originated from computer science and engineering. Using simulation and compound activity data, we demonstrate that DE in combination with support vector regression (SVR) yields effective and robust predictions of optimized coordinates satisfying model constraints and requirements. For different compound activity classes, optimized coordinates are obtained that exclusively map to regions of high activity in feature space, represent novel positions for structure generation, and are chemically meaningful.

SOCEMO: Surrogate Optimization of Computationally Expensive Multiobjective Problems
Authors: Müller Juliane
Published: July 2017

We present the algorithm SOCEMO for optimization problems that have multiple conflicting computationally expensive black-box objective functions. The computational expense arising from the objective function evaluations considerably restricts the number of evaluations that can be done to find Pareto-optimal solutions. Frequently used multiobjective optimization methods are based on evolutionary strategies and generally require a prohibitively large number of function evaluations to find a good approximation of the Pareto front. SOCEMO, in contrast, employs surrogate models to approximate the expensive objective functions. These surrogate models are used in the iterative sampling process to decide at which points in the variable domain the next expensive evaluations should be done. Therefore, fewer expensive objective function evaluations are needed, and a good approximation of the Pareto front can be found efficiently. Previous algorithms have generally been tested on problems with few variables (up to 10) and few objective functions (up to 5). In our numerical study, we show that our algorithm performs well for benchmark problems with up to 35 dimensions and up to 10 objective functions, as well as two engineering application problems. We compared the performance of SOCEMO to a variant of NSGA-II and show that SOCEMO’s sophisticated search strategy is more efficient than NSGA-II when the number of allowable function evaluations is low.

Big Data and Marketing Analytics in Gaming: Combining Empirical Models and Field Experimentation
Authors: Nair Harikesh S. , Misra Sanjog , Hornbuckle William J. , Mishra Ranjan , Acharya Anand
Published: July 2017

Efforts on developing, implementing, and evaluating a marketing analytics framework at a real-world company are described. The framework uses individual-level transaction data to fit empirical models of consumer response to marketing efforts and uses these estimates to optimize segmentation and targeting. The models feature themes emphasized in the academic marketing science literature, including incorporation of consumer heterogeneity and state dependence into choice, and controls for the endogeneity of the firm’s historical targeting rule in estimation. To control for the endogeneity, we present an approach that involves conducting estimation separately across fixed partitions of the score variable that targeting is based on, which may be useful in other behavioral targeting settings. The models are customized to facilitate casino operations and are implemented at the MGM Resorts International’s group of companies. The framework is evaluated using a randomized trial implemented at MGM involving about 1.5 million consumers. Using the new model produces about $1 million to $5 million in incremental profits per campaign, translating to about 20¢ in incremental profit per dollar spent relative to the status quo. At current levels of marketing spending, this implies between $10 million and $15 million in incremental annual profit for the firm. The case study underscores the value of using empirically relevant marketing analytics solutions for improving outcomes for firms in real-world settings.

Eliminating the Inconvenience of Carrying: Optimal Pricing of Delivery Service for Retailers
Authors: Guo Xiaolong , Li Ben , Liu Yan , Liang Liang
Published: July 2017

Delivery service becomes one of the most important issues that significantly influence customer purchase behavior, especially for retailers in tourist attractions. This paper builds a model to investigate the strategy optimization of delivery service for such retailers. Meanwhile, the retailer optimizes the retail price to maximize the expected profit in different types of delivery service scenarios. Our results indicate that, given the perceived value of a delivery service, the optimal strategy is to provide free delivery service when its cost is relatively low, but to not provide delivery service when the cost is relatively high.
Patterns of Protecting Both Technological and Nontechnological Innovation for Service Offerings: Case of the Video-Game Industry
Authors: Corona Mario , Geum Youngjung , Lee Sungjoo
Published: July 2017

Service innovation involves both technological and nontechnological aspects, which need to be protected as intellectual property. Thus, it is worth analyzing patents and trademarks at the same time to examine innovation-protection mechanisms considering that not only patents but also trademarks can play a significant role in protecting different aspects of innovation. In response, this paper focuses on the usage of trademarks and suggests hybrid intellectual property strategies to integrate patents and trademarks to understand the characteristics of innovation strategy—the patterns of innovation protection. We employed the United States Patent and Trademark Office database and conducted a sector-level and firm-level analysis. As a case study, we focused on the game industry, in which both patents and trademarks are considered the key drivers for innovation.

Authors: Cho Byeong Hyo , Kang Sin Hyeong , Won Jin Ho , Lee Hee Sook , Kang Tae Hwan , Lee Dong Il , Han Chung Su
Published: July 2017

This study aimed to identify milling characteristics depending on the number of a cutting roller’s air vent and blowing velocity to remove rice bran by the cutting type milling machine which can minimize the conventional milling process. The level of whiteness was found to be 38±0.5 in all the conditions, showing consistent whiteness levels during milling. The rice temperatures turned out to be 15.4 and 14.6°C which were rather low-level under the conditions of the cutting roller with 3 vents and blowing velocities of 35 and 40 m/s respectively. Cracked rice ratio was 2.13% under the conditions of the cutting roller with 3 vents and a blowing velocity of 35 m/s. Broken rice ratio showed the range of 0.762-0.869%, reflecting a low level. Turbidity after milling was decreased, as blowing velocity became faster. Energy consumption for milled rice production was decreased, as blowing velocity became faster. The optimum milling condition for cutting type milling machine depending on air vent number of cutting roller and blowing velocity was found to be 3 vents and 35 m/s.
A Study of Salty Enhanceability of Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Isolated Soy Protein
Authors: Kim Jin Seon , Shin Jung-Kue
Published: July 2017

This study investigated the possible use of enzymatically hydrolyzed isolated soy protein (eHISP) to enhance the intensity of salty taste. The sodium chloride content of eHISP is 69.5 g/L. Yellowness (b) increased, and lightness (L) and redness (a) decreased with increasing eHISP concentration in sample solution. Also, perceived salty intensity of eHISP solution increased in sample solution with increasing added amount of eHISP with same NaCl concentration. The intensity of the salty taste was enhanced by 2-39% as the eHISP was added. The results suggest that it may be possible to reduce the content of sodium chloride in foods by enhancing the salty taste with eHISP.

Published: July 2017

Although Semisulcospira libertina is generally regarded as a supplement for the alleviation of alcohol hangover, little is known about its effects on cell metabolism. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the constituents of the extracts prepared using different extraction methods and to compare their biochemical properties. The amino acid contents were found to be much higher in acidic and enzymatic hydrolysates than hot water extracts from S. libertina. DPPH radical scavenging activities in acidic and enzymatic hydrolysates were higher than those of hot water extracts. Three types of S. libertina hydrolysate was added to HepG2 cells damaged by acetaminophen (AAP), after which the survival rate of HepG2 cell were measured. In addition, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in the culture media were evaluated. The survival rates of HepG2 cells were 77.0±4.3% and 81.5±1.3% at 3 h and 5h enzymatic hydrolysates, respectively. These cell survival rates were higher compared to those of the negative control group (67.8±4.3%) treated only with acetaminophen. Cellular toxicities induced by treatment with AAP were also significantly alleviated in response to treatment with the extracts of S. libertina. In addition, the activities of 2 key enzymes that metabolize ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, were upregulated by 4.7- and 2.7-fold respectively in response to treatment with a 3 h enzymatic hydrolysate of S. libertina. Taken together, these results provide biochemical evidence of the method by which S. libertina exerts its biological functions, including the alleviation of alcohol hangover and the protection of liver cells against toxic insults.
Characteristics and Optimization of the Formula of Mashed Potatoes Using Purple-fleshed Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) by Mixture Design
Authors: Jung Hwabin , Choi Ji-il , Yoon Won Byong
Published: July 2017

Purple-fleshed potato powder (PFPP) was investigated to determine optimal mixing ratio with milk powder and dextrin to produce a ready-to-eat mashed potato powder. The rheological characteristics, color, and anthocyanin contents were studied at a different concentration of ingredients. The power-law model was applied to explain the mechanical spectra of mashed potatoes which represented the change in structure induced by different mixing ratios. Mixture design was used to obtain the experimental points used to establish the empirical models to describe the effects of each ingredient on the characteristic of the mashed potato. The results of mechanical spectra showed that both storage and loss moduli (G' and G'') were significantly influenced by PFPP and milk powder concentration. The power law parameters n' and n'' showed higher values for the mashed potato with a lower concentration of PFPP and a higher concentration of milk powder, which showed that the gel networks involved in the mashed potato were weaker. The optimum mixing ratio with the highest redness and anthocyanin content, while maintaining the rheological properties similar to the commercial mashed potato, was determined as PFPP:milk powder:dextrin = 90.49:4.86:4.65 (w/w). The proportions of PFPP and milk powder in the formulation significantly changed the characteristics of mashed potato, whereas no significant effect of dextrin was observed in this formulation.

Application of the DSM-5 Level of Personality Functioning Scale by Lay Raters
Authors: Morey Leslie C.
Published: July 2017

One concern that has been expressed with the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) presented in DSM-5 is that the description of characteristic impairments in personality function uses concepts requiring considerable experience and clinical inference to apply. To examine this question, the individual indicators included in the AMPD's Level of Personality Functioning Scale (LPFS) that describes these core impairments were abstracted as individual items, and then rated on a target acquaintance by 194 undergraduate college students with minimal training in personality disorder and no training in the AMPD. Results indicated that the LPFS indicators were highly internally consistent as rated in this sample, and that the degree of discrimination between groups corresponded very well with the putative level of severity represented for each indicator in the LPFS. These findings support the contention that using the LPFS might not require any particular clinical experience or training.
Ombudsmen e observatórios de média: proximidades e diversidades / Ombudsmen and media observatories: proximities and diversities
Authors: Oliveira Paulino Fernando , Oliveira Madalena , Faria Jairo
Published: July 2017

Uma das principais funções dos ombudsmen de média é a mediação entre o público e os profissionais dos veículos de comunicação. Há, no entanto, neste cargo uma expectativa de observação e análise das atividades e dos conteúdos difundidos que o aproxima da missão que tradicionalmente tem sido atribuída aos observatórios. Atuando como agentes de monitorização, em maior ou menor grau, os ombudsmen acompanham de forma mais ou menos sistemática a produção dos média que representam, sendo, portanto, dentro de cada órgão de comunicação social, “observadores” com sentido crítico. Tomando por referência as experiências dos Provedores do Ouvinte e do Telespectador em Portugal, da Ouvidoria da EBC no Brasil e da Defensoría del Público na Argentina, este trabalho visa discutir as proximidades entre estes cargos e os observatórios de média, na convicção de que ambos se orientam para examinar processos e práticas de comunicação e informação.
O corpo pedagogizado: Fluidos femininos e propagandas de absorvente / The pedagogized body: fluids and sanitary towel's advertisements

Published: July 2017

Este trabalho pretende fazer uma breve análise descritiva de três propagandas de absorventes a partir de uma ótica das ciências sociais, articulando categorias como corpo, gênero, sangue, fluidos corporais e higienização. As propagadas divergem em questões como período de veiculação, marcas e produtos anunciados, no entanto, nossa hipótese é que todas elas baseiam seus discursos em dispositivos pedadogizantes do corpo feminino. Dessa forma, buscaremos encontrar o acionamento de simbolismos ao invés de realizar uma análise imagética e semiótica dos discursos programados pelas estratégias de venda. Escolhemos trabalhar com publicidades estáticas vinculadas em publicações impressas por se tratar de um quadro menor e mais direto que nos é mais conveniente em uma investigação concisa.

The Observed Experiences of Music Therapy on Parent-Child Interaction for Families with Children with Down Syndrome
Authors: O' Donoghue Jess
Published: July 2017

The relationship between the quality of parent-child interactions and positive child development is well established in the literature. Nevertheless, parental and familial factors may pose risks to parents’ capacity to participate in quality interactions with their children. Families with a child with a disability in particular are more likely to experience social isolation, and higher levels of parenting stress. Early intervention programmes to promote positive parent-child interaction for these families is well recognised. However, there is a lack of literature about the effectiveness of such programmes for these families. This research study explores music therapy on parent-child interaction, specifically focusing on children with a diagnosis of Down syndrome (DS). This case study involves two in-depth cases of children diagnosed with DS and their primary caregivers. The study documents individual music therapy sessions which took place over a six week period. The case study materials were gathered through the researcher’s direct observations, fieldwork notes, and reflective journal logs. The music therapy block encouraged the primary caregivers to be more responsive during parent-child interactions. Furthermore, the children involved learned to engage and share musical activities with their mothers.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT Objective The purpose of this study was to estimate the association between exposure to physical and sexual violence, and suicidal ideation in Brazilian Schoolchildren, accounting for confounding variables of religious practice, and problems with alcohol and other drugs. Methods This study consists of a cross-sectional analytical approach of a larger school-based study conducted in 2012 in two medium-sized municipalities in south of Brazil. Participants were 3,547 students aging 12 to 17 years old who answered an assembled questionnaire. Descriptive and Logistic Regression analyses were conducted with suicide ideation outcome testing prediction models stratified by sex. Results Suicide ideation prevalence in the sample was of 21.7%, and regression analysis indicated that girls and boys exposed to physical or sexual violence had 3.42 and 3.14 times more probability of referring suicidal ideation in the past 30 days. Adjusted analyses showed little interference of religious practice, while problems with alcohol and other drugs seemed to also explain suicidal ideation in the sample. Conclusion We highlight the importance of future longitudinal studies to investigate the mechanisms through which exposure to physical or sexual abuse influence suicidal ideation among boys and girls, as well as mediation studies that could enlighten the role of drug and alcohol use in this relationship.

O RUIDO EMITIDO POR APARELHOS USADOS NAS SALAS DE OPERAÇÕES: ESTUDO PRELIMINAR SOBRE ALTERAÇÕES FÍSICAS, FISIOLÓGICAS E PSICOLÓGICAS NOS COMPONENTES DA EQUIPE CIRÚRGICA E PACIENTE
Authors: Posso Maria Belén Salazar
Published: July 2017

Foram estudados em valores globais e faixas de oitavas, nas escalas L e A, o ruido de fundo em três salas de operações de dois hospitais da cidade de São Paulo. Foi estudado também, em valores globais e faixas de oitavas, nas escalas L e A, o ruido emitido pelos seguintes aparelhos: bisturis elétricos Emai, Valleylab, Bovie e Burdick; respiradores Takaoka, Narcofolex, Aga e Oftec; aspiradores TakaokaL Medap, Card e Oftec; brocas Dremel e Kaltembach und Voigt; serra elétrica Bone Stryker Saw e cardioscópio FUNBEC. Foram comparados ainda, os ruídos emitidos por aparelhos de marcas diferentes, porém com mesma função, ou seja; respiradores, aspiradores, bisturis elétricos e brocas. Foi determinado, outrossim, a soma das médias dos ruídos emitidos por cinco dos aparelhos, se funcionassem simultaneamente. Com base nos resultados, concluiu-se ser o ruído de fundo, nas salas de operações estudadas, inferior ao nível máximo preconizado para hospitais. Os resultados obtidos, comparados aos dados da literatura, permitem inferir que o ruído emitido petos aparelhos estudados é suficiente para causar alterações fisiológicas e psicológicas nos componentes da equipe cirúrgica e no paciente, porém insuficiente para provocar alterações físicas.

ABSTRACT Objective To establish a profile of periodontal conditions in chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis and their periodontal risk. Methods We included 115 patients on hemodialysis. Clinical periodontal parameters assessed were: plaque index, gingival index, probing depth and clinical attachment level. Patients were classified according to presence/absence and severity of periodontal disease and periodontal risk. Results In 107 dentate patients (93%) the plaque index was 1.53±0.78, the gingival index was 0.95±0.85, the probing depth was 2.2±0.6mm and the clinical attachment level was 3.18±1.75mm. We observed that 1 patient (0.94%) did not have periodontal disease, 55 patients (51.40%) had slight, 28 (26.17%) moderate and 23 (21.49%) severe periodontal disease. Among 107 patients, 37 (34.58%) had low risk, 35 (32.71%) moderate risk and 35 (32.71%) high risk. Patients with severe periodontal disease showed 104.5 more chance of high risk compared with low risk individuals (odds ratio: 104.5; 95%CI: 10.7-1017.2; p<0.0001). Conclusion Most of patients with chronic renal disease presented periodontal disease, indicating the presence of chronic inflammatory and infection process that may influence in systemic conditions. A prevention and interventionist approach in this population is needed, especially to emphasize the importance of oral health. The periodontal risk assessment is a useful tool to create individualized periodontal therapies and to improve general health condition.
Fundamentos epistémicos complejos de la educación intercultural bilingüe
Authors: Guerra Velásquez Saida Luisa , Coromoto Guerra Josefa
Published: July 2017

La Educación Intercultural Bilingüe (EIB) en Venezuela ha mantenido un rol asimilacionista e hispanizante de los indígenas, a consecuencia de la imposición de saberes de la cultura dominante, la modernidad, la colonialidad del saber y el poder. Esta investigación reflexiva, planteada desde la hermenéutica diatópica, tiene como objetivo fundamentar los epistemes de la EIB con la complejidad. Se plantea que el devenir de la EIB juega un papel preponderante para entender su condición actual, con lo que se pone en escena la noosfera del problema como un espacio de conciencia profundo. Finalmente, se abordan las visiones complejas de la EIB desde categorías como la ecosofía, antropoética, condición humana, el respeto por las culturas y el diálogo intercultural bilingüe.

Authors: Mohammed Sirwan
Published: July 2017

The purpose of the current study was to assess the correlation between the iron

overload and increased glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among some diabetic patients in

Sulaimani outpatient clinics. The studied samples included 60 randomly selected patients

diagnosed with diabetes mellitus-п, having mean age of 51 years. Oppositely, 20 nondiabetic persons (having normal blood glucose and HbA1c within the normal range (2- 6%) with mean age of (46) years; were enrolled as a control group. Serum ferritin (SF) was used for measuring iron storage status, correspondingly, blood glucose and mean

values of glycemia, measured as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are measured. The results

of the current study revealed highly significant increasing of iron storage (P-value 0.001)

and percentage of glycated hemoglobin (p 0.05) among the diabetic patients. Further

studies with larger samples should be conducted to examine the possible role of iron overload in the emergence of diabetes.
Solar Cycle Forcing on Kurdistan-Iraq Temperature

Published: July 2017

The energy transfer from the sun to the atmosphere is one of the primary drivers of the

weather. The Earth climate is strongly affected by the amount of solar radiation emitted

by the sun, which changes with solar activity. The search for cyclicity in the climate record

can resolve some complexities of the atmospheric system. Periodicities in the sun spot

number time series, annual, seasonal temperature time series have been studied visualising

the data for 63 years spanning over the period 1948-2011. The temperature series is

obtained from NCAR-NCEP reanalysis data centre. The sunspot number and temperature

series, where subjected to spectral analysis by multitaper method to investigate the

possible periodicities exist in all series. Several periodicities in the band 10.5-12.5 years are

detected in annual and seasonal temperature where they are related to solar cycle. The

temperature at Kurdistan is negatively correlated with the length of the solar cycle. The

North Atlantic oscillation also affects the temperature of the region through 3.7 years

periodicity.
Minimize of Error Estimation and Approximate Solution of Fifth Order Initial Value Problems
Authors: Hama-Salh Faraidun , Salih Dhuha
Published: July 2017

In this paper, we derive some difference schemes for the initial value problems using

approximate spline interpolation, with the sixth degree lacunary spline function that

interpolates the solution function of the problem; first and fourth order accurate schemes

are obtained. To test the efficiency of the method, several numerical examples of third and

fifth order initial value problems are solved by proposed method.
