description: We measure the influence of reputation rankings on individuals’ perceptions of firms. Through experimental design, we vary whether and how subjects are exposed to a reputation ranking alongside other information about a firm. We find that rankings influence perceptions when they are negative and congruent with other information about the firm. These findings help explain how a firm’s reputation can change even if its characteristics remain constant and why change in a firm’s characteristics can be slow to produce change in its reputation.

description: To meet the growing interest in natural antibacterial agents, we evaluated the physicochemical and biological properties of the folk medicine known as “five thieves’ oil” (Polish name: olejek pięciu złodziei). Five thieves’ oil consists of a mixture of five oils: rosemary, lemon, clove, eucalyptus, and cinnamon. In this study, we performed gas chromatography, FTIR, and UV–vis spectroscopic analysis, as well as L-a-b color tests, contact angle determination, and surface tension determination. To verify its antibacterial activity, the metabolic activity and changes in cell membrane permeability of bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas were studied. As a result, it was found that among the constituent oils, the oils of clove and cinnamon were the least volatile and, at the same time, had the strongest antibacterial activity. However, a mix of all the oils also showed comparable activity, which was even more pronounced for the oils after 4 weeks of aging. This effect can be linked to the high content of terpene derivatives such as eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, which can cause changes in bacterial membrane permeability, affecting cell activity and survival. This study is the first to characterize the constituents of the popular folk medicine five thieves’ oil, confirming and explaining its strong antibacterial activity, thus constituting a significant contribution to contemporary health education.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Creating a navigation system for autonomous companion robots has always been a difficult process, which must contend with a dynamically changing environment, which is populated by a myriad of obstructions and an unspecific number of people, other than the intended person, to follow. This study documents the implementation of an indoor autonomous robot navigation model, based on multi-sensor fusion, using Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 4 (MRDS). The model relies on a depth camera, a limited array of proximity sensors and an active IR marker tracking system. This allows the robot to lock onto the correct target for human-following, while approximating the best starting direction to begin maneuvering around obstacles for minimum required motion. The system is implemented according to a navigation algorithm that transforms the data from all three types of sensors into tendency arrays and fuses them to determine whether to take a leftward or rightward route around an encountered obstacle. The decision process considers visible short, medium and long-range obstructions and the current position of the target person. The system is implemented using MRDS and its functional test performance is presented over a series of Virtual Simulation Environment scenarios, greenlighting further extensive benchmark simulations.

description: In this study we address the problem of efficient parallel triangulation methods for a finite set of points in the plane. The main goals of the research were to identify scalable algorithms which achieve a significant speedup over the sequential solutions and to implement and evaluate their performance on a parallel machine. Two approaches for parallel triangulation, one of which relies on global sorting, are fully described and implemented on a hypercube. Extensive performance evaluation in expected average and worst cases is reported for both methods

description: Polyploidy (whole-genome duplication) is common in vascular plants, but the modes of establishment and persistence, as well as the ecological consequences, of polyploidy remain vague. Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is an ecologically and economically important understory shrub with an unclear species definition, coexisting in sympatric populations of diploid and tetraploid cytotypes. This study analyzes differences in bloom time between sympatric diploid and tetraploid V. corymbosum in natural populations, testing the potential for these cytotypes to interbreed and contributing to the formation and continuity of ploidy-level diversification within this species. Ploidal level was confirmed through DNA flow cytometry of sympatric plants from two populations in New Jersey, USA. Flower bloom date and corolla size were recorded over a three-year period. Diploid corollas were 32% smaller than tetraploid corollas, making them easily identifiable in the field. Ploidy accounted for 55-69% of the variation in bloom date, with diploids flowering about one week before tetraploids, and the remaining variation distributed among plants, among branches, and within branches. Notwithstanding these differences, there was modest overlap in flowering time between cytotypes, suggesting that cross-pollination is possible. This contributes evidence to the most current species definition of V. corymbosum as a single (mixed ploidy) species.

Expansion of Chinese Social Health Insurance: who gets what, when and how?
Creators: name: Huang, Xian
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2014

description: This article asks ‘who gets what, when and how’ from China’s recent social welfare expansion. Little research to date examines the overall landscape of China’s social health insurance, which has changed dramatically since 2003, and the distributive consequences and implications thereof. Drawing on public survey data and fieldwork for empirical support, this article finds that China’s recent social health insurance expansion does significantly expand people’s access to social health insurance. However, the expansion, which entails health insurance fragmentation and increasing benefit disparities, not only reinforces existing social cleavages such as the rural–urban divide, but it also generates new divisions within urbanites and workforce. Moreover, multiple social cleavages that cross-cut class differences have been institutionalized into China’s social health insurance system. This reflects authoritarian regimes’ ‘divide and rule’ tactic in social welfare provision.

Territorial mobility based on census data: estimation of migration flows
Creators: name: Maffenini, W.
Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2013

description: The questions asked in many population censuses on place-of-residence at one or several fixed past dates allow the number of migrants during a specific period of time to be calculated. However, the questions asked in the censuses are retrospective, so that the migrants who died or emigrated abroad during the period considered are not included.
There is no way of estimating the number of migrants who emigrated abroad; on the other hand, a simple method is available to estimate the number of migrants who died. In this paper this method of estimation is applied to data from the Italian censuses of 1971 and 1981.

description: Objective: The ongoing coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is disproportionally impacting the adult population. This study describes the experiences after repurposing a PICU and its staff for adult critical care within a state mandated COVID-19 hospital and compares the outcomes to adult patients admitted to the institution’s MICU during the same period. Design: A retrospective chart review was performed to analyze outcomes for the adults admitted to the PICU and MICU during the 27-day period the PICU was incorporated into the institution’s adult critical care surge plan. Setting: Tertiary care state University hospital. Patients: Critically ill adult patients with proven or suspected COVID-19. Interventions: To select the most ideal adult patients for PICU admission a tiered approach that incorporated older patients with more comorbidities at each stage was implemented. Measurements and Main Results: There were 140 patients admitted to the MICU and 9 patients admitted to the PICU during this period. The mean age of the adult patients admitted to the PICU was lower (49.1 vs. 63.2 p = 0.017). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of comorbidities, intubation rates, days of ventilation, dialysis or LOS. Patients selected for PICU care did not have coronary artery disease, CHF, cerebrovascular disease or COPD. Mean admission Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was lower in patients admitted to the PICU (4 vs. 6.4, p = 0.017) with similar rates of survival to discharge (66.7 vs. 44.4%, p = 0.64). Conclusion: Outcomes for the adult patients who received care in the PICU did not appear to be worse than those who were admitted to the MICU during this time. While limited by a small sample size, this single center cohort study revealed that careful assessment of critical illness considering age and type of co-morbidities may be a safe and effective approach in determining which critically ill adult patients with known or suspected COVID-19 are the most appropriate for PICU admission in general hospitals with primary management by its physicians and nurses.

description: We give a history dependent algorithm that satisfies the claims of the title. It has other desirable attributes as well. It is computationally much simpler than algorithms studied in recent work of Payne and Ives when, in enumerating n objects k at a time, k is small compared to n. In fact SN(n,k) decreases n -* - where SN denotes the complexity of the present method and PI , that of Payne-Ives. This is probably due to the savings in overhead required by history less enumeration.

description: In questo lavoro viene presentato un modello dinamico di disequilibrio per l'analisi del mercato del lavoro nell'industria manifatturiera italiana. La specificazione proposta considera come variabili esplicative il razionamento proveniente dai periodi precedenti ed allo stesso tempo permette velocità di aggiustamento dei salari, al rialzo e al ribasso, tra loro diverse. Vengono presentate e discusse le proprietà statistiche del modello completo; l'inferenza si basa sul modello condizionale ai regimi per il quale si considerano sia la parametrizzazione in forma ridotta che quella in forma recursiva, al fine di verificare le restrizioni di sovraidentificazione. I risultati dell'analisi empirica permettono di constatare differenze strutturali significative tra il mercato del lavoro maschile e quello femminile, soprattutto per ciò che riguarda gli effetti di salario e quelli del reddito da non lavoro, così come le velocità di aggiustamento dei salari.

Optimisation approaches for scheduling disaster emergency operations with multiple resources
Creators: name: Bodaghi, Behrooz
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Effective scheduling for emergency operations can substantially improve the disaster response phase, thereby reducing losses and fatalities. The thesis contributes generally to the development of various multi-resources scheduling models which can deal with different possible emergency scenarios. For the first time in resource scheduling research in emergency operation field, this thesis focused on the different resource types and quantities for scheduling, rather than simply transporting resources to demand points. A description of commonly encountered emergency resource scheduling problems is presented and taken into consideration. Drawing from this, practical mixed-integer programming formulations are proposed and tested to demonstrate how these models may be implemented.
On the definition of quadratic indices of correlation between standardized deviations
Creators: name: Bettuzzi, G.
Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2013

description: This work is strictly related to two previous works written by the author in collaboration with A. Gili and published on issues No.4, 1984 and No.1, 1986 of "Statistica". The main aim of the first work was to propose a methodology introducing to the general theory of concordance between deviations, also including, therefore, partial concordance between deviations. For this purpose proportionality equations were used as a conceptual instrument, which proved particularly suitable for better penetrating the logical fundamental of partial concordance. In the second of the two works mentioned above, on the basis of ginian conception which differentiates the indices of concordance in indices of omophilia and indices of correlation, depending on whether the notion of relative maximum or absolute maximum of concordance is referred to, a general theory of quadratic indices of correlation between deviations was treated, which also introduces indices whose logical structure is the one of partial indices of correlation.
In the work which has just been published the author, always basing the construction on the conceptual instrument represented by proportionality equations, proposes the theory of quadratic indices of correlation again, thus referring to the ginian notion of absolute maximum of concordance but, this time, as regards statistical distributions of standardized deviations. A general formulation of quadratic indices of correlation between standardized deviations is given, and the Yule partial correlation coefficient and Bravais-Pearson linear correlation coefficient are determined as particular expressions of it.

description: Questo saggio tratta della distribuzione di Poisson generalizzata e della distribuzione della funzione lineare di Poisson. Si dimostra che ciascuna distribuzione può offrire informazioni sull'altra e che non è necessaria un'analisi separata, come fanno Jain (Biometrical Journal, 1975) e Consul (Technometrics, 1973). Nel saggio vengono date le relazioni di ricorrenza e i momenti centrali, da cui possono essere facilmente tratti i momenti di ordine superiore; le distribuzioni asintotiche delle stima dei parametri nella funzione lineare; una tavola con i rapporti tra le ordinate della funzione lineare e della Poisson ordinaria. Viene infine definita una distribuzione della funzione lineare generalizzata di Poisson, di ordine k, i cui momenti sono espressi nei termini dei momenti della Poisson generalizzata e della funzione lineare di Poisson.

Public perception

description: When food companies discover that a product may contain unacceptable levels of pathogens or other contaminants, they usually voluntarily issue a recall notice to recover any unconsumed products thought to pose a risk. These recall notices are intended to alert retailers to remove unsold products from their shelves, and to warn consumers to destroy or return products that they have already purchased. To be effective, food recalls must therefore generate sufficient attention and motivation among consumers that they take appropriate protective actions. Unfortunately, the typically low rates of recovery of recalled food products suggest that this is not happening. To understand why, and to yield insights into how to improve food recall risk communications, a random sample of 1101 American adults in all 50 states was interviewed in August and September of 2008. The results of this national survey suggest that most Americans view food recalls as important and as saving lives. They also report paying considerable attention to recalls and telling others about them. However, many believe that recalls are relevant to others and not to themselves, demonstrating the classic optimistic bias. Indeed, only 59% say they have ever looked for recalled products, and many appear to maintain an illusion of invulnerability with 12% of Americans reporting having eaten a food they thought had been recalled. The survey results also suggest that consumers conduct a kind of “lay risk assessment” to determine whether it is in their interests to pay attention to the recall or to take actions in response. Thus, they appear to highly value information that allows them to judge the potential likelihood and severity of consequences related to a food recall. Consistent with this, 73% of Americans say they would want to receive personalized information about recalls on their receipt at the grocery store, and 64% said they would want to receive such information through a letter or an email.

Semantics-based Information Brokering: A step towards realizing the Infocosm

description: The rapid advances in computer and communication technologies, and their merger, is leading to a global information market place. It will consist of federations of very large number of information systems that will cooperate to varying extents to support the users' information needs. We propose an architecture which may facilitate meeting these needs. It consists of three main components: information providers, information brokers and information consumers. We also propose an approach to information brokering. We discuss two of it's tasks: information resource discovery, which identities relevant information sources for a given query, and query processing, which involves the generation of appropriate mapping from relevant but structurally heterogeneous objects. Query processing consists of information focusing and information correlation. While the access-based search, and syntactic and hierarchical information organization has been adequate in the past, information brokering in presence of huge digital libraries or millions of information sources will likely require semantics and information-content based search and structuring of information. Our approach is based on: semantic proximity, which represents semantic similarities based on the context of comparison, and schema correspondences which are used to represent structural mappings and are associated with the context. The context of comparison of the two objects is the primary vehicle to represent the semantics for determining semantic proximity. Specifically, we use a context to capture the semantics in terms of the meaning and/or the use of an object. Using a partial context representation, we capture the assumptions in the intended use of the objects and the intended meaning of the user query. Information focusing is supported by subsequent context comparison. The same mechanism can be used to support information resource discovery. Context comparison leads to changes in schema correspondences that are used to support information correlation.
On the Relationship between Description Logic and Predicate Logic Queries.

description: Description Languages (DLs) are descendants of the kl-one [15] knowledge representation system, and form the basis of several object-centered knowledge base management systems developed in recent years, including ones in industrial use. Originally used for conceptual modeling (to de ne views), DLs are seeing increased use as query languages for retrieving information. This paper, aimed at a general audience that includes database researchers, considers the relationship between the expressive power of DLs and that of query languages based on Predicate Calculus. We show that all descriptions built using constructors currently considered in the literature can be expressed as formulae of the First Order Predicate Calculus with at most three variable symbols, though we have to allow numeric quanti ers and in nitary disjunction in order to handle a couple of special constructors. Conversely, we show that all rst-order queries (formulae with one free variable) built up from unary and binary predicates using at most three variables can be expressed as descriptions. We establish similar results for the subset of FOPC involving two variable symbols. We also show that certain subsets of constructors can be used to express only formulae in such well-studied subsets of FOPC as conjunctive queries and existential queries. For these languages, we gain ideas for subsumption algorithms from the work in the database literature on the containment problem of existential queries. The paper also suggests how one can transfer to DLs results from the theoretical database literature about languages based on predicate calculus with recursion.

description: Objective: To evaluate secular trends in ten-year risk of incident cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), in incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) relative to the general population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of a population-based incident cohort with RA onset from 1997 to 2004 in British Columbia, Canada, with matched general population controls (2:1), using administrative health data. RA and general population cohorts were divided according to year of RA onset, defined according to first RA visit of the case definition. Incident CVA was defined as the first CVA occurring within 10 years from the first RA visit. Secular trend was assessed using delayed-entry Cox models with a two-way interaction term between the year of RA onset and indicator of RA vs. general population. Linear, quadratic and spline functions of year of RA onset were compared to assess nonlinear effects. The model with the lowest AIC was selected. Results: Overall, 23,545 RA and 47,090 general population experienced 658 and 1,220 incident CVAs, respectively. A spline Cox model with a knot at year of onset 1999 was selected. A significant decline in risk of CVA was observed in individuals with RA onset after 1999 [0.90 (0.86, 0.95); p=.0001]. The change in CVA risk over time differed significantly in RA with onset from 1999 onwards compared to the general population [p-value of interaction term=0.03], but not before 1999 [p=0.06]. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that people with RA onset from 1999 onwards, had a significantly greater decline in 10-year risk of CVA compared to the general population.

description: Reed beds with Phragmites australis (common reed) have been utilized to decrease the water, nutrient and volatile solids content of sewage sludge. An efficient disposal/reuse option was sought for reed bed biosolids accumulated over a 15 year period at a wastewater treatment facility in New Jersey, USA. The study facility had 14 reed beds, each with 1000 wet tons capacity, which were full, and so the solids needed to be removed. Because P. australis is considered an invasive species in New Jersey and several other states in the United States, disposal or reuse of solids containing this plant is regulated. Composting was examined as a potential treatment for destroying the plant’s reproductive rhizomes. The high temperatures achieved during composting were also tested to determine if regulatory criteria for pathogen reduction could be met, making the composted product suitable for unrestricted land application. Preliminary studies indicated the sludge had stabilized to the point where self-heating did not occur. Among the carbon amendments tested in the laboratory to stimulate compositing activity, Phragmites above ground biomass was determined to be most suitable. In a field test, Phragmites above ground biomass was mixed with reed bed biosolids at a 1:2 (w/w) ratio. The temperatures achieved resulted in complete mortality of Phragmites rhizomes. In laboratory tests, rhizomes placed in a drying oven at 50ºC for 24 hours, or 55ºC for 12 hours, showed 100% plant mortality. However, under field conditions pile temperatures could not be maintained long enough for the sludge to meet the USEPA 503 biosolids time-temperature pathogen rule requirements for unrestricted land application, even though sample fecal coliform counts did meet regulatory limits.

description: Nell'articolo vengono riportati e commentati i principali risultati di una ricerca sulla distribuzione di probabilità del test di entropia. Lo studio, condotto con criteri simulativi basati sul metodo di Monte Carlo, è inteso a ricavare le distribuzioni di probabilità del test di entropia riferito a campioni di varie dimensioni, suddivisi in un numero non costante di classi, ed estratte da distribuzioni di probabilità di vario tipo (simmetriche e asimmetriche, platicurtiche e leptocurtiche). Viene inoltre verificata la robustezza del test di entropia, sulla base dei risultati ottenuti dalle sperimentazioni. Dopo un'ampia discussione sulla metodologia della ricerca, vengono descritti i risultati della stessa. Il test di entropia appare molto poco robusto, e risente in modo significativo sia della numerosità del campione su cui il test stesso è condotto, sia dalla distribuzione di probabilità da cui è estratto il campione. Alcune tabelle sono portate a supporto dell'analisi condotta. Infine, vengono riprodotte le principali tabelle della distribuzione di probabilità del test di entropia, utilizzabili come riferimento per verificare la significatività dei tests calcolati su esperimenti empirici.
