description: Smoking is the most significant and modifiable risk factor for a range of conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Furthermore, it significantly reduces bone mass and increases the risk of fragility fractures due to its detrimental effects on bone metabolism and regeneration. Moreover, smoking is a known cause of chronic systemic inflammation, leading to an imbalance of cytokines. Comprehending the pathological mechanisms that underlie cytokine production and its impact on post-surgical healing is essential to prevent post-surgical complications. The present study recruited a total of 1144 patients, including 897 patients, among them non-smokers (N = 413), current smokers (N = 201) and ex-smokers (N = 283). Human proteome profiler arrays were used to screen for smoking-dependent differences in the serum cytokine and protein profiles, after matching samples for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), alcohol use, and diabetes risk. Cytokines and immune checkpoint proteins such as CD28, B7-1, MIG, TGF2 and IL-1/ were quantified by ELISA. Our study demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between smoking, the development of complications, the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and cytokine/protein levels. We found that a comparison of non-smokers, former smokers, and active smokers in our study cohort did not exhibit significantly altered cytokine and protein serum levels although other studies reported differences between smokers and non-smokers. We were unable to identify single blood circulating markers that could predict complications in smokers after trauma. However, we found the ratio of women to men to be inverted between non-smokers and active smokers resulting in a ratio of 0.62 in smokers. Furthermore, we demonstrate a higher complication rate, longer hospitalizations and elevated SII values among smokers, indicating an involvement of the immune system.

description: The Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety approach identifies opportunities where a single enforcement deployment can achieve multiple objectives: reduce collision and crime rates. Previous research focused on modeling both events separately despite evidence suggesting a high correlation. Additionally, there is a limited understanding of the impact of Mobile Automated Enforcement (MAE) on crime or the impact of changing a deployment strategy on collision and crime dates. For this reason, this study categorized MAE deployment into three different clusters. A random-parameter multivariate Tobit model was developed under the Bayesian framework to understand the impact of changing the deployment on collision and crime rates in a neighborhood. Firstly, the results of the analysis quantified the high correlation between collision and crime rates (0.86) which suggest that locations with high collision rates also coincide with locations with high crime rates. The results also demonstrated the safety effectiveness (i.e., reduced crime and collision rates) increased for the clusters that are associated with an increased enforcement duration at a neighborhood level. Understanding how changing the deployment strategy at a macro-level affects collision and crime rates provides enforcement agencies with the opportunity to maximize the efficiency of their existing resources.

description: We report on the use of photo elicitation interviewing (PEI) with 13 participants in a qualitative study of formerly homeless men and women with serious mental illness. Following a respondentcontrolled approach, participants were asked to take up to 18 photographs visually portraying positive and negative aspects of their lives and to subsequently narrate the meaning of the photos in a one-on-one interview. Thematic analysis of the photos (N = 205) revealed two approaches to PEI: (a) a “slice of life” and (b) “then vs. now.” Examples show how PEIs yielded deeper, more elaborate accounts of participants’ lives compared to earlier verbal-only interviews. Participants spoke of the benefits of PEI and preferred taking positive as opposed to negative photographs depicting their lives. Implications of PEI as a means of complementing verbal-only data are discussed. By moving away from predetermined content and meaning, respondent-controlled PEIs enhance empowerment and enable creativity.

description: Unlike traditional synthetic methods, electrochemical synthesis provides a safer, greener and more atom efficient alternative to reaction pathways towards useful compounds. In organic synthesis, chemists are now resorting to electrochemistry to achieve novel reactivities and enhanced selectivity, avoiding toxic chemicals via potential-induced electron transfer instead. However, main reaction pathways are not always fully known, calling for dynamic electroanalytical techniques such as Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) to assess the current-potential curves that evidence the kinetics and mechanism involved. Moreover, dealing with complex processes such as multi-electron transfer with coupled homogeneous chemical reactions may require computational macrokinetic modeling to comprehend competing interactions. This enables the extraction of kinetic and thermodynamic information and the discernment of mechanism candidates, when fitted against experimental voltammograms. This work presents a model-based parametric and mechanistic investigation of an anodic multi-electron, multi-deprotonation organic synthesis of a hydrazone compound in non-aqueous media. For this end, a 1D continuum-scale diffusion layer model was solved via COMSOL Multiphysics. The model considers an adapted square-scheme, with all its experimentally intuited reaction pathways, accounting for the occurrence of side-reactions, dimerization, and disproportionation. In order to estimate the wide scope of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of a given mechanism, a least-squares fitting procedure was developed in MATLAB. The CV simulations thus grant a prediction of the reaction pathways and kinetics determining the electroorganic behavior, accurately reproducing experimental results across various bulk concentrations. Relevant insight is gained on the effect of mechanistic assumptions, and how applied potential and ratio of diffusion/reaction rates affect product conversion and further oxidation, allowing for the fine tuning of its operating conditions for novel applications, e.g. in flow electrosynthesis. The developed methodology exhibits versatile applicability to other organic processes in electrochemistry.

description: We describe an architecture for nonintrusive failure detection and recovery in a cluster of Internet servers in which nodes mutually monitor their liveness and recover client sessions from failed nodes. The system is based on Backdoors, a novel architectural approach for remote healing of computer systems. Backdoors enables monitoring and recovery/repair of state in a computer system by remote access to system resources (memory, I/O devices) without using its processors. Backdoors allows remote actions to be performed with no overhead, and even when the processors (but not the memory) of a machine are not available. We have implemented a Backdoors prototype by modifying the FreeBSD kernel and using Myrinet NICs for remote access. The system uses remote DMA operations to perform monitoring, detect failures and extract OS and application state from a failed machine. We have used our system to run several open-source Internet servers and to run a complex multi-tier e-commerce application. The system tolerates multiple node failures while providing correct and continuous service to ongoing sessions, with negligible disruption.
Development of Group B Coxsackievirus as an Oncolytic Virus: Opportunities and Challenges

description: Oncolytic viruses have emerged as a promising strategy for cancer therapy due to their dual ability to selectively infect and lyse tumor cells and to induce systemic anti-tumor immunity. Among various candidate viruses, coxsackievirus group B (CVBs) have attracted increasing attention in recent years. CVBs are a group of small, non-enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses, belonging to species human Enterovirus B in the genus Enterovirus of the family Picornaviridae. Preclinical studies have demonstrated potent anti-tumor activities for CVBs, particularly type 3, against multiple cancer types, including lung, breast, and colorectal cancer. Various approaches have been proposed or applied to enhance the safety and specificity of CVBs towards tumor cells and to further increase their anti-tumor efficacy. This review summarizes current knowledge and strategies for developing CVBs as oncolytic viruses for cancer virotherapy. The challenges arising from these studies and future prospects are also discussed in this review.

description: Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) calls for full engagement of policymakers in industrializing countries by minimizing environmental footprint and enhancing social inclusiveness. This study investigates the progress of 118 countries towards ISID (2005-2015) through an input-oriented CCR (Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes) slack-based (Data Envelopment Analysis) DEA model. The efficiency analyses have been carried out with two approaches: i) the ISID approach represents the aspiration of countries to promote industrialization and consequently sustain economic growth by reducing the adverse environmental and social effects which manifest in the overall economy; ii) ISIDsdg9 approach considers the same aspects of ISID but only focuses on indicators related to the industrial sector. An analytical tool is developed to measure ISID with the two different approaches. This study finds that (i) Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland are at the top of the ranking with the ISID approach, and the Czech Republic and Switzerland are at the top of the ranking with the ISIDsdg9 approach. Throughout 2005-2013, there is no sign of catching up between developed and developing countries in progress towards ISID and ISIDsdg9.

description: Through a survey of over 200 U.S. academic science librarians, we investigate the perceived value of subject specialization; look for trends toward or away from science subject specialization; and analyze predictions about the future of science liaison librarianship. Results show that science librarians perceive subject specialization positively and predict it will continue to be necessary in the future. They also perceive that liaison relationships will remain crucial. While functional roles appear to be growing, they were not seen as replacing traditional subject responsibilities. Results suggest a shift toward a more generalist approach, however, additional research is needed before stating this conclusively.

description: Ghrelin’s receptor, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), is highly expressed in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and in neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons. Fasting, diet-induced obesity (DIO), and 17β-estradiol (E2) influence ARC Ghsr expression. It is unknown if these effects occur in NPY neurons. Therefore, we examined the expression of Npy, Agrp, and GHSR signaling pathway genes after fasting, DIO, and E2 replacement in ARC and pools of NPY neurons. In males, fasting increased ARC Ghsr and NPY Foxo1 but decreased NPY Ucp2. In males, DIO decreased ARC and NPY Ghsr and Cpt1c. In fed females, E2 increased Agrp, Ghsr, Cpt1c, and Foxo1 in ARC. In NPY pools, E2 decreased Foxo1 in fed females but increased Foxo1 in fasted females. DIO in females suppressed Agrp and augmented Cpt1c in NPY neurons. In summary, genes involved in GHSR signaling are differentially regulated between the ARC and NPY neurons in a sex-dependent manner.

description: Objective -- This study aims to understand participant priorities in their personal recovery journey and their perspectives of recovery domains. Methods -- A card sort data gathering technique was employed to elicit priorities in recovery from consumers in supportive housing programs serving formerly homeless adults with severe mental illnesses in New York City. Participants (N=38) were asked to sort 12 cards printed with recovery domains in order of importance and describe the meaning attached to each domain. Results -- Mental health (95%), physical health (89%), and housing (92%) were the domains most frequently included and prioritized in the top three rankings. Family (76%) and partner (74%) were also frequently included and endorsed as most important second only to mental health. Housing was prioritized yet rated most important less often (58%). Work, school, hobbies, program, friends and neighborhood were less frequently endorsed. ‘Card sort talk’ revealed critical understanding of participants’ priorities and their reasons for endorsing other domains less frequently. Conclusions -- Most important to participants was regaining functional independence through improved mental and physical health and access to housing. With underlying principles of efficiency and empowerment, card sort is a promising engagement technique for providers to elicit consumer priorities in their own recovery.

description: There is a pressing need to equip youth-serving community organizations to respond to the unique needs of trauma-exposed children. Early prevention measures can be an effective means of redirecting children to self-regulatory healing, while facilitating their transition toward strength-based thriving. Sport can offer a powerful opportunity to reach these children; however there remains little information on how to effectively develop, deliver, evaluate, and sustain trauma-sensitive sport programs in a community context. The purpose of this paper is to outline a case study of integrating sport-based trauma-sensitive practices with BGC Canada’s national Bounce Back League program. An interdisciplinary partnership of academic, community, and practice experts used a community-based participatory action research approach, paired with a knowledge translational approach, to guide the process of program development. Mixed methods (e.g., surveys, logbooks, interviews, focus groups, online communications) were used to generate ongoing insights of staff’s training experiences, successes and challenges of program implementation, and potential impact of program on club members. Several stages of program development are described, including: (a) collaboratively planning the program; (b) piloting the program to three clubs; (c) adapting the program using pilot insights; (d) expanding the adapted program to ten clubs; and (e) creating opportunities to maintain, sustain, and scale-out practices throughout grant duration and beyond. Lessons learned regarding the leadership team’s experiences in terms of developing, adapting, and integrating trauma-sensitive practices in this community context are shared.

description: This paper discusses work completed in 2013 at the American Alpine Club Library (AACL) in Golden, Colorado, to implement a CollectiveAccess instance, which was given the name “Explore.” Although some literature on CollectiveAccess has been published, the AACL’s experience provides a unique example of how the software was used and customized in a small library and archives with limited staff and resources. From the process to identify the software specifications and needs at the AACL, to the design of CollectiveAccess’s public interface, this paper covers the strengths and weaknesses of the platform and describes the AACL’s experience launching Explore.

description: Submerged glow-discharge plasma (SGDP) is relatively new among the various methods available for nanomaterials synthesis (NMs) techniques. This method allows great control over the production cost of nanomaterials synthesis. A lab-scale batch type SDGP technology has been constructed to produce nanomaterials and investigate the inter-relationship between plasma excitation voltages, electrodes submerged areas and electrolyte concentration. Metal oxide nanospheres has been synthesised from different electrolyte concentrations (1M-0.001M) and characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). As the major results showed that the nanospheres are uniformly spherical with diameter size distribution are between 100 nm - 2μm. EDS analysis shown the nano-Iron Oxide have been formed. Scrap metal initially showed around 6.45% and 93.55% of Carbon and Iron composition respectively. After SGDP process to the scrap metal, Carbon content has increased to 34-35% and Iron content has reduced to around 15-40%. EDS results also shown the higher percentage of Iron amount has remained with lower electrolyte concentration and Current is proportionally related to submersion area of cathode.

description: The execution time of an algorithm to produce all maximal compatibles [1] given all pair wise compatible states of a finite state machine is strongly dependent on the number of such maximal compatibles possible in an N state machine. The problem of finding the maximum number of such maximal compatibles is equivalent to the problem of finding the maximum possible number of completely connected sub graphs, not included in any other such sub graphs, in an N node graph. The relation of these two problems has been disscussed by R. Das [2]. In this paper the problem is considered in its graph formulation. It is shown that if a graph has the maximum number of such sub graphs they must each contain the same number of nodes and that the maximum number of such subgraphs for N node graphs is =3 if N is divisible by 3, (2/3)2 . 3[N/3] if N mod 3 = 1, and (2/3).3[N/3] if N mod 3 = 2. A bound on the number of such sub graphs is also given in terms of the degree of the nodes of the graph.
ARDC Leadership Series: Sharing Sensitive and Identifiable Human Data

description: Sharing sensitive data between industry and research sectors can be challenging. Trust, risk management, competitive advantage and intellectual property rights are all significant hurdles to navigate when sharing sensitive data. Sensitive data can’t be shared openly for legal and/or ethical reasons and is often subject to specific conditions when reused due to the significant risk it poses to the research subjects (humans, endangered species, etc). The ability to share sensitive data securely opens up enormous opportunities for research and industry. Industry can use data to drive innovation and translation at scale, while the research sector can gain significant new insights to understand human health and wellbeing. Providing solutions for sharing sensitive data will reduce delays in time-limited projects, increase the return on investment of research, create positive impacts on project outputs, and benefit the Australian public as a whole. The event was aimed at persons responsible for strategic direction, decision-making, and resource allocation within a research organisation. The event focused on challenges by highlighting benefits, identifying blockers and enablers, and testing the appetite for a coordinated approach among Australian research organisations, using a specific exemplar case study.

description: Securing access to files is an important and growing concern in corporate environments. Employees are increasingly accessing files from untrusted devices, including personal home computers and mobile devices, such as smart phones, that are not under the control of the corporation, and may be infected with viruses, worms, and other malware. In such cases, it is crucial to protect the confidentiality and integrity of corporate data from malicious accesses. Existing tools available to network administrators are either too permissive or too restrictive in allowing file access from untrusted devices. This paper proposes a novel scheme called Working Set-Based Access Control (WSBAC) to restrict network file system accesses from untrusted devices. The key idea is to continuously observe and extract working sets for users when they access files from trusted devices. These working sets are used to restrict file accesses when users connect from untrusted devices. This paper reports on the design and implementation of tools to automatically extract working sets, and transparently enforce WSBAC without requiring changes to the file system. Our experiments with realistic network file system traces lead us to conclude that using working sets offers a flexible yet secure way to restrict access from untrusted devices, and that the runtime overheads of WSBAC enforcement are negligible.

description: More than 41% of the Earth’s land area is covered by permanent or seasonally arid dryland ecosystems. Global development and human activity have led to an increase in aridity, resulting in ecosystem degradation and desertification around the world. The objective of the present work was to investigate and compare the microbial community structure and geochemical characteristics of two geographically distinct saline pan sediments in the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa. Our data suggest that these microbial communities have been shaped by geochemical drivers, including water content, salinity, and the supply of organic matter. Using Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing, this study provides new insights into the diversity of bacteria and archaea in semi-arid, saline, and low-carbon environments. Many of the observed taxa are halophilic and adapted to water-limiting conditions. The analysis reveals a high relative abundance of halophilic archaea (primarily Halobacteria), and the bacterial diversity is marked by an abundance of Gemmatimonadetes and spore-forming Firmicutes. In the deeper, anoxic layers, candidate division MSBL1, and acetogenic bacteria (Acetothermia) are abundant. Together, the taxonomic information and geochemical data suggest that acetogenesis could be a prevalent form of metabolism in the deep layers of a saline pan.

description: Post-fall assessment is an essential component of any fall prevention intervention. Typically, clinical practice recommendations for fall assessment are left to the discretion of each practitioner and miss many of the associated symptoms, situational contexts and pertinent elements required to reveal likely underlying determinants of a fall event. In order to elicit a comprehensive evaluation of a recent fall, a 5-step organizational approach is presented which allows for the consistent gathering of key information needed to determine possible underlying fall etiology while also addressing the patient’s perception of their fall. Several cases will be used to illustrate this comprehensive approach to fall assessment.

description: This paper presents a design of 5G branch-line coupler that operates at 10 GHz frequency range. The proposed coupler is implemented with four stubs and two slots to improve the performances including the scattering parameter and also the bandwidth. Advanced Design System (ADS) software is used to design and perform the simulation stage. The proposed 5G coupler with stub and slot technique has enhances the bandwidth up to 60% as compared to the one proposed earlier in the literature. Additionally, the simulation results show that the scattering parameter and phase differences have also improved. The proposed design is suitable to be used later in Butler Matrix for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) application.

description: Problems of analysis and modeling of sequential data arise in many practical applications. In this work, we develop efficient algorithms and methods for general sequence analysis. In particular, we propose novel ways of modeling sequences under complex transformations (such as multiple insertions, deletions, mutations) and present a new family of similarity measures (kernels), spatial string kernels, that can be computed very efficiently and show state-of-the-art performance on a variety of distinct classification tasks. We also present new algorithms for approximate (e.g. with mismatches) string comparison that improve currently known time bounds for such tasks and show order-of-magnitude running time improvements. In an extensive set of experiments on many challenging classification problems, such as detecting homology (evolutionary similarity) of remotely related proteins, categorizing texts, and performing classification of music samples, proposed algorithms and measures display state-of-the-art classification performance and run substantially faster than existing methods. We solve these problems in both binary and multi-class settings, as well as apply our methods to large-scale datasets with partially labeled samples.
