State-Local School and Highway Expenditure Trends, 1965–1966 and 1969–1970
Authors: Lindholm Richard W. 
Published: January 2017

The data used in this analysis demonstrate a considerable state variation in support given local schools and highways as measured by percentage of personal income. In the area of education, the general situation demonstrated by the data is that the property tax, plus the assistance it received, did no more than keep up with personal income during the five-year period under study, which was also a period when local schooling demands were very strong. Highways, which are nearly entirely financed from fuel tax revenues, absorbed a general declining portion of personal income during the period of the great expansion of urban-related highway expansion needs and the completion of much of the interstate highway system. The analysis demonstrates some decline and certainly considerable stability of the portion of personal income used for local schools and highways. The findings do not support the common attitude that a service having access to a tied revenue source is able to benefit from relatively luxurious financing Undoubtedly, the fact that this was a period of rapid inflation of incomes and that neither the property tax nor the gasoline tax possesses an automatic adjustment for price increases affected the level of support provided local education and highways during the 1965–1966 and 1969–1970 periods of great need.
Targets, Tradeoffs, and Economic Policy: A Generalized Phillips Curve
Authors: Maital Shl Omo 
Published: January 2017

Frank Bechling recently wrote that “the concentration on the trade-off between unemployment and inflation and the neglect of trade-offs between unemployment and other variables (balance of payments, economic growth, structural change, and income distribution) may lead to a suboptimal choice between inflation and unemployment.” Starting from this proposition, this paper uses a simple yet believable model to construct simulated short-run transformation curves for major economic objectives. One of these curves is the familiar Phillips curve relation between inflation and unemployment. Proper design of policy demands knowledge of subjective preferences, as well as objective tradeoffs, among economic goals. A tentative empirical method for investigating preferences is set out, along with some initial findings.
Impending Strategic Business Alliance of ASEAN–India: An Experiential Conjecture
Authors: Prusty Twinkle 
Published: January 2017

A dynamic export demand model of India–Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) competitiveness is estimated that explicates India’s strategic export behaviour to the nth country in ASEAN in relation to the import function and the unit value of exports of India implicit to the local price level of the consumer country. The research article identifies the structure within which improvement of connectivity of India’s technical expertise could be extended to ASEAN for comprehensive and wide-ranging economic cooperation. The study’s inferences contribute in entailing how the ASEAN community recognises the need to provide necessary capacity building and to initiate reforms for enhancing their business competitiveness and to upgrade their national enterprises at a more sophisticated level determining their future competitiveness. While, on one hand, it seems that economic integration will remain the key to ASEAN competitiveness in the countenance of vicious competition in the global marketplace, on the other hand, the trade and investment relations of the ASEAN with other countries, particularly with developed economies, will also foster their investment development path and prosperity. In addition to the possibilities of India–ASEAN integration, other challenging efforts for governance would narrow the development gaps among ASEAN economies. This corroborates prospects for India in a constructive manner yielding association within the ASEAN economic framework that will eventually congregate with the affiliation. The findings entail that economists pay much more attention in identifying other sources of permanent and Asian country-specific real changes to explain economic fluctuations in ASEAN economies.

Objective of research: Determination of the efficiency of 5% concentration Diminazene aceturate at the dose of 0.25 mg/kg body in combination with polyethylene glycol solution applied against piroplasmidosis in cattle.
Materials and methods: Trial of the new method of prolonged chemoprevention was carried out in one of the farms of Dagestan, which is unfavorable for piroplasmidosis. Aceturate contained in this drug rapidly inhibits DNA in cells of blood parasites, which leads to their death within several hours. Diminazene aceturate proved to be effective against piroplasmidosis, babesiosis, taleriosis, hemosporidosis of animals. The experiment was conducted on 30 head of cattle divided into 3 groups 10 head in each. Animals of two groups received the preparation and prolongator at the dose of 0,25 mg/kg in the 15% aqueous solutions of polyethylene glycols (PEG), and at the dose of 0,25 mg/kg in the 20% aqueous solutions; the third group served as a control (received the preparation without prolongator). Efficacy of the method was estimated by periodic examination of blood smears from experimental animals for plasmodia in erythrocytes and synchronous measurement of body temperature of animals.
Results and discussion: It was found that the method of prolonged chemoprophylaxis applied against piroplasmidosis in animals (at the dose of 5 ml per 100 kg body weight, 6 times every 25 days) enables disease prevention during the whole disease season. Such method allows reducing the number of treatments from 24 to 12-13 times in a season. In addition, data on the distribution of hemosporidia infections among the cattle in the Republic of Dagestan were clarified.

Red algal parasites: a synopsis of described species, their hosts, distinguishing characters and areas for continued research
Authors: Preuss Maren , Nelson Wendy A. , Zuccarello Giuseppe C. 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Red algal parasites are diverse organisms that are unusual due to the fact that many are closely related to their hosts. Parasitism has developed many times within different red algal groups, but the full extent of parasite biodiversity is unknown, as parasites are easily overlooked due to their small size and often low abundance. Additionally, the literature on red algal parasites is dispersed and has not been compiled in over 30 years. Although criteria have been proposed to define what constitutes a red algal parasite, many parasites are poorly described, and the cellular interactions with their host are poorly known. A few studies have demonstrated that parasites transfer organelles to host cells, which can alter the physiology of the host to the benefit of the parasite. Here, we apply a set of defining criteria for parasites to a compiled list of all described red algal parasites. Our results highlight the lack of knowledge of many key parasitic processes including early parasite development, host cell “control”, and parasite origin. Until the biology of more parasites is studied, generalisations on the processes of parasitism in red algae may be premature. We hope this synopsis will stimulate research into this fascinating group.
Improved Bidirectional CABOSFV Based on Multi-Adjustment Clustering and Simulated Annealing
Authors: Yang Minghan , Gao Xuedong , Li Ling 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Although Clustering Algorithm Based on Sparse Feature Vector (CABOSFV) and its related algorithms are efficient for high dimensional sparse data clustering, there exist several imperfections. Such imperfections as subjective parameter designation and order sensibility of clustering process would eventually aggravate the time complexity and quality of the algorithm. This paper proposes a parameter adjustment method of Bidirectional CABOSFV for optimization purpose. By optimizing Parameter Vector (PV) and Parameter Selection Vector (PSV) with the objective function of clustering validity, an improved Bidirectional CABOSFV algorithm using simulated annealing is proposed, which circumvents the requirement of initial parameter determination. The experiments on UCI data sets show that the proposed algorithm, which can perform multi-adjustment clustering, has a higher accurateness than single adjustment clustering, along with a decreased time complexity through iterations.

Published: January 2017

Abstract
There is a huge growth in the amount of documents of corporations in recent years. With this paper we aim to improve classification performance and to support the effective management of massive technical material in the domain-specific field. Taking the field of petro-chemical process as a case, we study in detail the influence of parameters on classification accuracy when using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Text auto-classification algorithm. Advantages and disadvantages of the two text classification algorithms are presented in the field of petro-chemical processes. Our tests also show that more attention to the professional vocabulary can significantly improve the F1 value of the two algorithms. These results have reference value for the future information classification in related industry fields.

Authors: Fan Naiqiang , Wang Yingmin , Lv Yarong 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
The conventional Chirp Scaling Algorithm is mainly used in side looking or small squint angle mode of synthetic aperture imaging. In application of synthetic sonar, the large squint angle imaging is often required and the range-azimuth coupling is serious. On the basis of studying the principle of the conventional Chirp Scaling Algorithm, we improved the imaging algorithm in large squint mode. We analysed the structure of the echo frequency spectrum and the compensation of phase factor. The improved imaging algorithm designs a more precision of phase compensation factor, and eliminates the high order degree of range and azimuth coupling in the specific mapping band. Any target point is simulated in imaging region by using the improved algorithm. The simulation conclusion showed that the improved Chirp Scaling Algorithm is able to meet the imaging focus and is more suitable to slant imaging as compared with the traditional algorithm.

AbstractWith the rapid development of social networks, location based social network gradually rises. In order to retrieve user’s most preferred attractions from a large number of tourism information, personalized recommendation algorithm based on the geographic location has been widely concerned in academic and industry. Aiming at the problem of low accuracy in personalized tourism recommendation system, this paper presents a personalized algorithm for tourist attraction recommendation – RecUFG Algorithm, which combines user collaborative filtering technology with friends trust relationships and geographic context. This algorithm fully exploits social relations and trust friendship between users, and by means of the geographic information between user and attraction location, recommends users most interesting attractions. Experimental results on real data sets demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm. Compared with the existing recommendation algorithm, it has a higher prediction accuracy and customer satisfaction.
Generation Method and Application of Product-Oriented Medial Axis
Authors: Peng Jianjun , Wang Hui , Li Jiping , Song Chuanming 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
In this paper, the generation method of the medial axis in the arbitrary quadrilateral surface is proposed. It can provide a solution for the simplification of the complex fillet feature and the generation of the mesh in the model. By using the locus method associated with moving Frenet frame, we realize the simple and fast algorithm for generating the medial axis. As for the engineering problem, B-rep 3D solid models with clear boundary definition are mostly applied; the information of vertex, side and surface of the model, which is clearly stored in the model file, can be used to simplify the traditional locus method for generating the medial axis, in order to reduce the amount of data required by the generation. In this paper, we use the clear boundary information in the B-rep model as the condition for generating the medial axis and the characteristics of the bisector to eliminate the calculation of the branch points, reducing the factors affecting the accuracy of the medial axis. In order to ensure the accuracy of the medial axis, the density of the insertion points can be used for control.
Multiple Manifolds Clustering via Local Linear Analysis
Authors: Zheng Wei , Chen Shuo 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Clustering on multiple manifolds serves as an analysis of the data lying on multiple manifolds. The smoothness and local linearity of data samples are utilized to define the local linear degree which is motivated by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Depth First Search (DFS). Then, Multiple Manifolds Clustering (LMMC) is proposed on the base of the Local Linear Analysis (LLA) via this definition and neighbor-growing algorithm, which are especially effective under the condition of interactions. Instead of addressing problems of complex optimization and K-means operation, LMMC is simple and efficient compared with traditional manifold clustering. The algorithm can achieve superior performance on complex subspace and manifolds clustering datasets. Meanwhile, comparative experiments are given to show the effectiveness and efficiency of this algorithm.
A microplate assay to measure classical and alternative complement activity
Authors: Puissant-Lubrano Bénédicte , Fortenfant Françoise , Winterton Peter , Blancher Antoine 
Published: January 2017

AbstractBackground:We developed and validated a kinetic microplate hemolytic assay (HA) to quantify classical and alternative complement activity in a single dilution of human plasma or serum.Methods:The assay is based on monitoring hemolysis of sensitized sheep (or uncoated rabbit) red blood cells by means of a 96-well microplate reader. The activity of the calibrator was evaluated by reference to 200 healthy adults. The conversion of 50% hemolysis time into a percentage of activity was obtained using a calibration curve plotted daily.Results:The linearity of the assay as well as interference (by hemolysis, bilrubinemia and lipemia) was assessed for classical pathway (CP). The within-day and the between-day precision was satisfactory regarding the performance of commercially available liposome immunoassay (LIA) and ELISA. Patients with hereditary or acquired complement deficiencies were detected (activity was measured <30%). We also provided a reference range obtained from 200 blood donors. The agreement of CP evaluated on samples from 48 patients was 94% with LIA and 87.5% with ELISA. The sensitivity of our assay was better than that of LIA, and the cost was lower than either LIA or ELISA. In addition, this assay was less time consuming than previously reported HAs.Conclusions:This assay allows the simultaneous measurement of 36 samples in duplicate per run of a 96-well plate. The use of a daily calibration curve allows standardization of the method and leads to good reproducibility. The same technique was also adapted for the quantification of alternative pathway (AP) activity.
Verb similarity: Comparing corpus and psycholinguistic data

Published: January 2017

Abstract
Similarity, which plays a key role in fields like cognitive science, psycholinguistics and natural language processing, is a broad and multifaceted concept. In this work we analyse how two approaches that belong to different perspectives, the corpus view and the psycholinguistic view, articulate similarity between verb senses in Spanish. Specifically, we compare the similarity between verb senses based on their argument structure, which is captured through semantic roles, with their similarity defined by word associations. We address the question of whether verb argument structure, which reflects the expression of the events, and word associations, which are related to the speakers’ organization of the mental lexicon, shape similarity between verbs in a congruent manner, a topic which has not been explored previously. While we find significant correlations between verb sense similarities obtained from these two approaches, our findings also highlight some discrepancies between them and the importance of the degree of abstraction of the corpus annotation and psycholinguistic representations.

Summary

Introduction: The inflorescence of Helichrysum arenarium (L.) Moench shows anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, detoxifying properties and is traditionally used in liver and biliary tract diseases. Because of its difficult and expensive cultivation, the plant raw material is mainly harvested from natural sites.

Objective: The research aimed to determine the local variation in yield and content of flavonoids and phenolic acids in the yellow everlasting inflorescence against the background of the layer structure of vegetation as the rate of plant succession.

Methods: The plant raw material was collected from 30 plots of 1 m2, established for three separate populations developing on sandy fallows near Zielona Góra (western Poland). For each study area, percentage cover of the moss-lichen and herb layers, the height, cover and yield of H. arenarium as well as the height and cover of other herbaceous plants were determined. Total contents of flavonoids (expressed as quercetin) and phenolic acids (calculated as caffeic acid) were measured spectrophotometrically, according to Polish Pharmacopoeia.

Results: Everlastings reached a cover of up to 70% and the maximum air-dry matter yield of 46.42 g/m2. The height, coverage and yield of H. arenarium were correlated with the parameters describing the herb layer. The content of flavonoids ranged from 0.56 to 0.99%, while that of phenolic acids from 0.82 to 1.80% DM.

Conclusions: Yellow everlasting is an important species of early fallows on poor sandy soils and these habitats constitute a rich natural source of herbal raw material. Inflorescences harvested from natural sites are distinguished by a high and similar content of polyphenols and usually meet the requirements of Polish Pharmacopoeia.
