A Fuzzy Least Squares Support Tensor Machines in Machine Learning
Authors: Zhang Ruiting , Zhou Zhijian 
Published: December 2015

In the machine learning field, high-dimensional data are often encountered in the real applications. Most of the traditional learning algorithms are based on the vector space model, such as SVM. Tensor representation is useful to the over fitting problem in vector-based learning, and tensor-based algorithm requires a smaller set of decision variables as compared to vector-based approaches. We also would require that the meaningful training points must be classified correctly and would not care about some training points like noises whether or not they are classified correctly. To utilize the structural information present in high dimensional features of an object, a tensor-based
learning framework, termed as Fuzzy Least Squares support tensor machine (FLSSTM), where the classifier is obtained by solving a system of linear equations rather than a quadratic programming problem at each iteration of FLSSTM algorithm as compared to STM algorithm. This in turn provides a significant reduction in the computation time, as well as comparable classification accuracy. The efficacy of the proposed method has been demonstrated in ORL database and Yale database. The FLSSTM outperforms other tensor-based algorithms, for example,
LSSTM, especially when training size is small.
Assessment of E-learning System in Higher Education Based on Hesitant Fuzzy Information with Incomplete Attribute Weights
Authors: Ye Hong 
Published: December 2015

With the development of information technology, colleges and universities around the world are constructing E-learning system to meet their students' and faculty's needs. E-learning can effectively help students to learn varieties of knowledge and even skills they want to obtain.
Therefore, the efficiency of E-learning system is important to popularize and develop it. Then, in this paper, we investigate to propose a method to evaluate E-learning system in higher education based on some criteria. Hereinto, this assessment problem can be considered as a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem. Thus, TOPSIS method, as a popular multiple attribute decision making method, is introduced in this paper to solve this assessment problem. In MADM problem, how to acquire preference of the decision maker is critical. In order to solve this issue, hesitant fuzzy set is developed in this paper. Weight vector, as a balance to weight the importance of different attributes, is hard to obtain. Then, a new fuzzy weight method is proposed to determine attribute weights. Finally, a case study is demonstrated to verify the applicability of this method.

Published: December 2015

Background: Empirical studies show the value of mobile phones as effective educational tools to support learning in the nursing profession, predominantly in high income countries.Problem statement: The rapidly increasing prevalence of mobile phone technology in Africa nourishes hopes that these tools could be equally effective in lowly resourced contexts, specifically in efforts to achieve the health-related Millennium Development goals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception and use of mobile phones as educational and professional tools by nurses in lowly resourced settings.Methodology: A quantitative survey using self-administered questionnaires was conducted of rural advanced midwives.Results: Fifty-six nurses (49.6%) from the 113 rural-based midwives attending an advanced midwifery training programme at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, filled in a questionnaire. The results showed that, whilst nurses regarded their technology competences as low and although they received very little official support from their educational and professional institutions, the majority frequently used mobile functions and applications to support their work and learning processes. They perceived mobile devices with their voice, text, and email functions as important tools for the educational and professional activities of searching for information and engaging with facilitators and peers from work and study contexts. To a lesser extent, the use of social networks, such as WhatsApp and Facebook, were also reported.Conclusion and recommendation: It is concluded that educational institutions should support the appropriate use of mobile phones more systematically; particularly in relation to the development of mobile network literacy skills.
Application of Data-Driven Decision Making Using Ayres Sensory Integration® With a Child With Autism
Authors: Faller Patricia , Hunt Joanne , van Hooydonk Elke , Mailloux Zoe , Schaaf Roseann 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Health care and educational legislation and policy require that clinicians demonstrate, using measurement and report of outcomes, accountability for services rendered. Clinical algorithms have been developed and are used by various health care professionals to assist with hypothesis generation and systematic clinical reasoning; however, they do not explicitly guide measurement of outcomes as part of the reasoning process. Schaaf and colleagues developed the Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM) process to address the greater need for outcome measurement, systematically support decision making, target intervention more precisely, and measure and document outcomes. This article describes the application of the DDDM process with a child with ASD who received occupational therapy using Ayres Sensory Integration®.

Introduction Tissue engineering is a field which is currently under a great deal of investigation for the development and/or restoration of tissue and organs, through the combination of cell therapy with biomaterials. Rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing is a versatile technology which makes possible the fabrication of three dimensional (3D) structures from a wide range of materials with complex geometry and accuracy, such as scaffolds. Aim The aim of this study has been to investigate the interaction between mesenchymal stem cells with poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) biomaterials used for obtaining scaffolds through additive manufacturing. Materials and Methods Scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy and biological assays were performed to analyse the successful interaction between the cells and the biomaterials. Results As a result, the number of viable cells attached to the scaffolds was lower when compared to the control group; however, it was possible to observe cells in the scaffolds since day 1 of analysis, with regions of confluence after 21 days of seeding. Conclusions To conclude, these biomaterials are interesting if used as medical artifacts, principally in tissue with prolonged regeneration time and which requires 3D supports with good mechanical properties.
Songs from the Land of Eternal Summer: Beyond Duality in Japanese Brazilian Publication and Colonia Man'yôshû
Authors: Rivas Zelideth María 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Upon arrival to Brazil in 1908, Japanese immigrants began creating a communal Japanese Brazilian narrative that acts as an alternative to Japanese and Brazilian histories and literatures. Pre-World War II immigrants, bound not only by their immigration experience but also by language, composed tanka poetry to capture the community's experiences vis-à-vis Japan and Brazil. These tanka were collected in the 1981 anthology Koronia man'yôshû 『コロニア万葉集』. In this article, I examine Japanese Brazilian communal formation through the publishing industry in Brazil and themes that the immigrants included in their anthology. I argue that as the community began to move beyond an image of itself as a “mini-Japan,” it produced alternative histories and narratives that influence both Brazilian and Japanese national literatures and histories, moving beyond a duality of identity rooted in both countries.

Published: December 2015

Partiendo de 30 aislados bacterianos de diferentes tipos (fundamentalmente Bacillus), previamente aislados e identificados por métodos microbiológicos y moleculares, provenientes de biopelículas epilíticas traídas del Castillo de Chapultepec de la ciudad de México, DF. Se realizaron diferentes metodologías como comprobación y determinación de formación biopelículas y su cuantificación, prueba de ureasa y la producción de cristales de carbonato de calcio en placa Petry con LB enriquecido con carbonato de calcio al 0.2 %. Los cristales fueron enviados a difracción de rayos X y Microscopia Electrónica de Barrido.Los resultados muestran que en alguna medida todos los microorganismos probados participan en el proceso de formación de biopelículas y un total de 12 aislados destacaron como los mejores formadores de biopelículas, sobresaliendo las cepas IS16 y IIIS10 (Bacillus subtilis), IIS15a (Bacillus cereus) por ser las que mayores UFC/mL presentaron en la biopelícula. Todos los buenos formadores de biopelículas resultan también adecuados en cuanto a bioprecipitación de carbonatos, destacando las cepas IIIS4 (Bacillus megaterium), IS5 (Bacillus subtilis) e IIIS9b (Bacillus subtilis), 21 (Pantoea agglomerans) y la IIIS5 (Bacillus simplex). Poco o nada se sabe hasta el momento de la participación de Pantoea agglomerans en procesos de biorrestauración mediante bioprecipitación de cristales de carbonato de calcio y debido a que se obtuvo buena respuesta a la prueba de ureasa y los cristales obtenidos fueron mayormente Calcita (99 %), este trabajo muestra la factibilidad de usar la biota nativa para su activación y así lograr la restauración de los monumentos biodeteriorados.
Un singe à Cythère : Verlaine et la fête galante
Authors: Mullier Sébastien 
Published: December 2015

Banville déclarait dans Odes funambulesques : « Il ne serait pas impossible d’imaginer une nouvelle langue comique versifiée, appropriée à nos moeurs et à notre poésie actuelle, et qui procéderait du véritable génie de la versification française en cherchant dans la rime elle-même ses principaux moyens comiques. » De la peinture de Watteau à sa critique d’art, notre ambition est de montrer comment, pour Verlaine, cette entreprise anachronique et donc ironique qu’est la composition d’une fête galante en plein xixe siècle s’inscrit dans la continuité d’un art identifié comme spécifiquement français et spirituel, mais aussi d’un genre humoristique des arts décoratifs : de Watteau et du xviiie siècle, Verlaine a peut-être moins pris pour modèle la fête galante que la singerie, cette peinture grotesque et rocaille où abondent singes musiciens, singes peintres et singes funambules. En plaçant le singe lascif de « Cortège » au centre d’une étude de Fêtes galantes, nous tentons d’étudier comment Verlaine a rêvé la pratique de la versification française comme la gestuelle comique, équivoque et sensuelle d’un singe funambule. Nous nous efforçons de définir les enjeux secrets de pratiques chères à un poète dont Lepelletier notait la physionomie « babouinesque » : certes la rime mais aussi l’autoparodie, cette manière de se singer soi-même. Nous inscrivons le parti rocaille de Fêtes galantes dans un débat historique contre le modèle hugolien et romantique des héritiers de 1793 : nous érigeons ainsi le singe verlainien en figure du fondement de l’Art pour l’Art, ce qu’Edgar Poe avait appelé « principe poétique ».
L’aporie lyrique du comique
Authors: Bernadet Arnaud 
Published: December 2015

L’un des couples épistémologiques régulièrement invoqué dans la critique littéraire est le rapport entre le « lyrique » et le « comique ». Pourtant présentés comme fondateurs dans l’histoire et la théorie modernes du poème, ces termes constituent peut-être moins un instrument heuristique qu’un véritable lieu commun. L’objectif de cet article est de mettre à l’étude quelques-uns des présupposés qui entourent la notion de « lyrique » en usage dans l’analyse comique du texte poétique. Car entre le « lyrique » et le « comique », c’est le second qui est souvent l’élément marqué, tandis que le premier ressortit plutôt au donné. D’un côté, en soulignant ses composantes pragmatiques et esthétiques, le comique engage une conception résolument hybride et polyphonique du texte ; de l’autre, le lyrique indexe une représentation éclectique, ambiguë, sinon stéréotypée du phénomène poétique.
Trapping of injection charges in emission centers of GaN:Eu red LED characterized with 1/f noise involved in forward current
Authors: Ishii Masashi , Koizumi Atsushi , Fujiwara Yasufumi 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Noise analysis of the forward current of LEDs was performed to identify the rate-limiting process of a recently developed Eu-doped GaN (GaN:Eu) red LED. Although the noise power spectrum of conventional InGaN blue and AlGaInP amber LEDs followed Poisson distributions, that of the GaN:Eu red LED indicated a 1/f noise. The Poisson distribution that represents electron–hole (e–h) recombination was consistent with the light emitting process of the conventional LED. On the other hand, the 1/f noise revealed that the rate-limiting process of the GaN:Eu LED was trapping of injection charges rather than following e–h recombination to excite Eu. From the detailed analysis of the 1/f noise, several emission centers with different trapping time constants (>3.5 ns) were discovered. These results demonstrated the applicability of the noise analysis to characterization of charge dynamics in the new LEDs.

The process controllability of inductively coupled plasma-enhanced reactive sputter deposition for the fabrication of amorphous InGaZnO
x
(a-IGZO) channel thin-film transistors (TFTs) was investigated. a-IGZO film deposition with the addition of H2 gas was performed using a plasma-assisted reactive sputtering system to control the oxidation process during a-IGZO film formation by balancing the oxidation and reduction reactions. Optical emission spectroscopy measurements indicate the possibility for the oxidation reaction to be inhibited by a decrease in the density of oxygen atoms and the reduction effect of hydrogen during a-IGZO film deposition due to the addition of H2 gas. The characteristics of TFTs fabricated using a-IGZO films deposited with a plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering deposition system were investigated. The results indicate the possibility of expanding the process window by controlling the balance between oxidation and reduction with the addition of H2 gas. TFTs with a-IGZO films that were deposited with the addition of H2 gas exhibited good performance with a field-effect mobility (μFE) of 15.3 cm2 V−1 s−1 and a subthreshold gate voltage swing (S) of 0.48 V decade−1.

Abstract
Zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays were successfully prepared by using dual sonication sol–gel process. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed that the nanorods exhibited a hexagonal structure with a flat-end facet. The nanorods displayed similar surface morphologies and grew uniformly on the seed layer substrate, with the average diameter slightly increasing to the range of 65 to 80 nm after being immersed for varying growth times. Interestingly, thickness measurements indicated that the thicknesses of the samples increased as the growth time was extended. In addition, the X-ray diffraction spectra indicated that the prepared ZnO nanorods with a hexagonal wurtzite structure grew preferentially along the c-axis. Therefore, we can conclude that the diameter, length, and orientation of the ZnO nanorod arrays along the c-axis are controllable by adjusting the growth time, motivating us to further explore the growth mechanisms of ZnO nanorods.
Characteristics of an atmospheric-pressure line plasma excited by 2.45 GHz microwave travelling wave

Published: December 2015

Abstract
An atmospheric-pressure line plasma was produced by microwave discharge using a slot antenna with travelling microwave power. Two different types of plasma mode, i.e., “pseudo” and “real” line plasma were investigated using a high-speed camera under different discharge conditions, such as slot gap width and power. Using wide slot gaps (0.5 mm) and low powers (<1.0 kW), the pseudo line plasma mode, i.e., the time-averaged line plasma mode with the fast movement of small plasmas along the slot, was observed. By reducing the slot gap width to 0.1 mm and by increasing the peak microwave power, the plasma mode changed from the pseudo to real line plasma mode, i.e., the spatiotemporally uniform plasma mode along the slot. A gas temperature was obtained from N2 second positive band spectra as low as 400 K. The movement of the plasma in the pseudo line plasma mode was well explained by a one-dimensional diffusion model including the spatial distribution of the ionization rate in a moving plasma.
Electroless plating of Ni thin films using foam of electrolyte
Authors: Furuhashi Takahiro , Yamada Yoshiyasu , Ichihara Shoji , Takai Akihiro , Usui Hiroaki 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Electroless plating of Ni thin films was achieved in foam of electroplating solution in place of electroplating liquid. Commercial hypophosphite-based solution for Ni electroless plating was added with a surfactant of sulfuric acid monododecyl ester sodium salt (SDS) and bubbled with nitrogen gas to produce airy foam. Ni thin films were deposited by immersing iron substrates in the foam. Although stationary foam was inconvenient for electrodeposition by itself, film growth was enhanced by generating a flow of foam using substrate rotation and by adding SDS to a concentration of 0.1 to 0.3 wt %. No defects attributed to pinholes were observed on the film surface. This method was effective in reducing the net amount of plating solution necessary for film deposition.
Imaging the magmatic system of Newberry Volcano using joint active source and teleseismic tomography
Authors: Heath Benjamin A. , Hooft Emilie E. E. , Toomey Douglas R. , Bezada Maximiliano J. 
Published: December 2015

AbstractIn this paper, we combine active and passive source P wave seismic data to tomographically image the magmatic system beneath Newberry Volcano, located east of the Cascade arc. By using both travel times from local active sources and delay times from teleseismic earthquakes recorded on closely spaced seismometers (300–800 m), we significantly improve recovery of upper crustal velocity structure (<10 km depth). The tomographic model reveals a low‐velocity feature between 3 and 5 km depth that lies beneath the caldera, consistent with a magma body. In contrast to earlier tomographic studies, where elevated temperatures were sufficient to explain the recovered low velocities, the larger amplitude low‐velocity anomalies in our joint tomography model require low degrees of partial melt (∼10%), and a minimum melt volume of ∼2.5 km3. Furthermore, synthetic tests suggest that even greater magnitude low‐velocity anomalies, and by inference larger volumes of magma (up to 8 km3), are needed to explain the observed waveform variability. The lateral extent and shape of the inferred magma body indicates that the extensional tectonic regime at Newberry influences the emplacement of magmatic intrusions. Our study shows that jointly inverting active source and passive source seismic data improves tomographic imaging of the shallow crustal seismic structure of volcanic systems and that active source experiments would benefit from longer deployment times to also record teleseismic sources.
Global MHD modeling of resonant ULF waves: Simulations with and without a plasmasphere
Authors: Claudepierre S. G. , Toffoletto F. R. , Wiltberger M. 
Published: December 2015

AbstractWe investigate the plasmaspheric influence on the resonant mode coupling of magnetospheric ultralow frequency (ULF) waves using the Lyon‐Fedder‐Mobarry (LFM) global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. We present results from two different versions of the model, both driven by the same solar wind conditions: one version that contains a plasmasphere (the LFM coupled to the Rice Convection Model, where the Gallagher plasmasphere model is also included) and another that does not (the stand‐alone LFM). We find that the inclusion of a cold, dense plasmasphere has a significant impact on the nature of the simulated ULF waves. For example, the inclusion of a plasmasphere leads to a deeper (more earthward) penetration of the compressional (azimuthal) electric field fluctuations, due to a shift in the location of the wave turning points. Consequently, the locations where the compressional electric field oscillations resonantly couple their energy into local toroidal mode field line resonances also shift earthward. We also find, in both simulations, that higher‐frequency compressional (azimuthal) electric field oscillations penetrate deeper than lower frequency oscillations. In addition, the compressional wave mode structure in the simulations is consistent with a radial standing wave oscillation pattern, characteristic of a resonant waveguide. The incorporation of a plasmasphere into the LFM global MHD model represents an advance in the state of the art in regard to ULF wave modeling with such simulations. We offer a brief discussion of the implications for radiation belt modeling techniques that use the electric and magnetic field outputs from global MHD simulations to drive particle dynamics.
The impact of wave‐induced Coriolis‐Stokes forcing on satellite‐derived ocean surface currents
Authors: Hui Zhenli , Xu Yongsheng 
Published: December 2015

AbstractOcean surface currents estimated from the satellite data consist of two terms: Ekman currents from the wind stress and geostrophic currents from the sea surface height (SSH). But the classical Ekman model does not consider the wave effects. By taking the wave‐induced Coriolis‐Stokes forcing into account, the impact of waves (primarily the Stokes drift) on ocean surface currents is investigated and the wave‐modified currents are formed. The products are validated by comparing with OSCAR currents and Lagrangian drifter velocity. The result shows that our products with the Stokes drift are better adapted to the in situ Lagrangian drifter currents. Especially in the Southern Ocean region (40°S–65°S), 90% (91%) of the zonal (meridional) currents have been improved compared with currents that do not include Stokes drift. The correlation (RMSE) in the Southern Ocean has also increased (decreased) from 0.78 (13) to 0.81 (10.99) for the zonal component and 0.76 (10.87) to 0.79 (10.09) for the meridional component. This finding provides the evidence that waves indeed play an important role in the ocean circulation, and need to be represented in numerical simulations of the global ocean circulation.
