description: Cooperative vehicle management emerges as a promising solution to improve road traffic safety and efficiency. This paper addresses the speed planning problem for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) at an unsignalized intersection with consideration of turning maneuvers. The problem is approached by a hierarchical centralized coordination scheme that successively optimizes the crossing order and velocity trajectories of a group of vehicles so as to minimize their total energy consumption and travel time required to pass the intersection. For an accurate estimate of the energy consumption of each CAV, the vehicle modeling framework in this paper captures 1) friction losses that affect longitudinal vehicle dynamics, and 2) the powertrain of each CAV in line with a battery-electric architecture. It is shown that the underlying optimization problem subject to safety constraints for powertrain operation, cornering and collision avoidance, after convexification and relaxation in some aspects can be formulated as two second-order cone programs, which ensures a rapid solution search and a unique global optimum. Simulation case studies are provided showing the tightness of the convex relaxation bounds, the overall effectiveness of the proposed approach, and its advantages over a benchmark solution invoking the widely used first-in-first-out policy. The investigation of Pareto optimal solutions for the two objectives (travel time and energy consumption) highlights the importance of optimizing their trade-off, as small compromises in travel time could produce significant energy savings.

description: The objective of this study was to understand the purchasing decision process of consumers of fresh tomatoes based on model proposed by Blackwell, Miniard and Engel (2013). For this purpose, a two-step research was conducted. The first phase consisted of a qualitative research, using twenty in-depth interviews in which producers, wholesalers, retailers and final consumers participated with the purpose of identifying variables to be investigated in the quantitative phase. In the second phase, a quantitative and descriptive survey was conducted, from which were obtained 415 valid questionnaires of fresh tomato consumers. The results revealed that the reasons behind the consumption of fresh tomatoes are associated with “sensory stimuli and pleasure”, or, in other words, to make the dishes aesthetically pleasing and tasteful, and for “healthiness and well-being”, because of the health benefits offered by tomato (e.g. rich in vitamins and minerals). Furthermore, the positive image that consumers create regarding fresh tomatoes and its consumption is closely linked to its use in salads and sauces. It was also observed that, among the factors considered by consumers during their purchasing decision process, the organoleptic characteristics were prominent, followed by concerns with health and the environment. Finally, consumers of fresh tomatoes tend to purchase once a week at vegetable stands and for domestic consumption

description: McDaniel T, Pascoe T. 2017. Applying the reference condition approach to Lake of the Woods: Sediment and benthic invertebrate community assessment for lake-wide management. Lake Reserv Manage. 33:000–000. Lake of the Woods (LOW) is a large, international lake recently designated as impaired by the State of Minnesota due to excess nutrients and nuisance algal blooms. Concerns regarding the impacts of eutrophication have prompted the need for management tools to help to defines areas of ecosystem impairment and to monitor changes in trophic status. The goal of this study was to assess areas of potential anthropogenic impacts in LOW using a benthic macro-invertebrate reference condition approach model and identify factors correlating with these impacts. We also sought to provide baseline information on sediment chemistry prior to the initiation of increased mining activity in the basin. A Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) reference model was developed for LOW to compare the benthic community structure at a number of potentially stressed or impaired sites. Concentrations of both nutrients and metals in sediments at many sites in LOW exceeded Ontario provincial and Canadian federal effect levels for aquatic life. The benthic community at some locations was found to be divergent from reference sites, with substantial reductions in diversity and abundance associated with stress to the benthic community. As expected, benthic invertebrate diversity appeared to be most affected at sites that were deep, thermally stratified and high in nutrients thus making them prone to hypoxia. Benthic diversity was also negatively associated with higher concentrations of metals such as lead and arsenic. The CABIN approach can provide a useful tool in lake management for the identification of stressed sites.

description: Deep-sea and Seabed Mineral resources Research centre, Korean Institute of Ocean Science & Technology, 385 Haeyang-ro, Yeongdo-gu, 49111, Korea(3);Submarine “black smoker” systems and their associated seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) may represent economic resources for future generations. However, the processes leading to spatial variations in the mineralogical and chemical composition of subduction zone-related hydrothermal systems remain poorly constrained. The large submarine caldera of Niuatahi volcano hosts several active hydrothermal vent sites associated with faults at the caldera wall and with young post-caldera volcanic cones, venting vapor-rich and black smoker-type-fluids with temperatures up to 334 °C. We combine bulk sulfide chemistry with in-situ trace element data and S- and Pb isotopes of pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite to decipher key ore-forming processes causing spatial variations in metal(loid) enrichment. We refer these spatial variations within the caldera to a continuum between magmatic fluid-dominated venting at the central cones (high Cu, As, Bi, Te, Au, Sb, δ34S = -10.6 - 2.7 ‰) compared to fluid-rock interaction and seawater mixing at the caldera wall (high Au, Ag, Cd, Pb, δ34S = -0.6 - 6.3 ‰). Lead isotopes of sulfide separates suggest a connected hydrothermal circulation cell and/or similar source rock compositions in the central part of the caldera compared to a discrete one at the caldera wall. We conclude that metal(loid)s from distinct sources (magmatic volatiles vs. host rock leaching) combined with hydrothermal fractionation (e.g., boiling) leads to spatial variations in economically relevant elements (e.g., Te, Au, Ag, Bi, Se, Co) in submarine caldera-hosted hydrothermal systems. This has important implications on exploration of fossil SMS or volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits on land.

description: The interpolation and reconstruction of missing traces is a crucial step in seismic data processing, moreover it is also a highly ill-posed problem, especially for complex cases such as high-ratio random discrete missing, continuous missing and missing in fault-rich or salt body surveys. These complex cases are rarely mentioned in current works. To cope with complex missing cases, we propose Multi-Dimensional Adversarial GAN (MDA GAN), a novel 3-D GAN framework. It keeps anisotropy and spatial continuity of the data after 3D complex missing reconstruction using three discriminators. The feature stitching module is designed and embedded in the generator to retain more information of the input data. The Tanh cross entropy (TCE) loss is derived, which provides the generator with the optimal reconstruction gradient to make the generated data smoother and continuous. We experimentally verified the effectiveness of the individual components of the study and then tested the method on multiple publicly available data. The method achieves reasonable reconstructions for up to 95% of random discrete missing and 100 traces of continuous missing. In fault and salt body enriched surveys, MDA GAN still yields promising results for complex cases. Experimentally it has been demonstrated that our method achieves better performance than other methods in both simple and complex cases.https://github.com/douyimin/MDA_GAN

description: In this talk Śaivācārya and Professor Sthaneshwar Timalsina discusses the elastic nature of our ego and the different modes of perceiving reality. In our everyday life we can already see this elasticity manifesting in different situations, in which our I-ness sense expands to inanimate objects and other persons. Meanwhile a yogi is able to do this consciously and intensify this expansion on the point of achieving purṇahanta, the perfect I-Consciousness, in which everything is embraced in his subjectivity. This experience of the yogi is derived from a fully awakened state, while common people may experience other modes with different grades of the separation between subjectivity and objectivity.

description: Promoters are, generally, located immediately upstream of a transcription start site (TSS) and have a variety of regulatory motifs, such as transcription factors (TFs) and CpG islands (CGIs), that participate in the regulation of gene expression. Here analysis of the promoter region for pig vomeronasal receptor type 1 (V1R) was described. In the analysis, TSSs for pig V1R genes was first identified and five motifs (MV1, MV2, MV3, MV4, and MV5) were found that are shared by at least 50% of the pig V1R promoter input sequences from both strands. Among the five motifs, MV2 was identified as a common promoter motif shared by all (100%) pig V1R promoters. For further analysis, to better characterize and get deeper biological insight associated with MV2, TOMTOM web application was used. MV2 was compared to the known motif databases (such as JASPAR) to see if they are similar to a known regulatory motif (transcription factor). Hence, it was revealed that MV2 serves as the binding site mainly for the BetaBetaAlpha-zinc finger (BTB-ZF) transcription factor gene family to regulate expression of pig V1R genes. Moreover, it was shown that pig V1R promoters are CpG poor, suggesting that their gene expression regulation pattern is in tissue specific manner.

description: Antiplatelet therapies remain an area of potential interest for the treatment of sepsis; however, studies of platelet aggregation in sepsis have yielded conflicting results. We examined platelet aggregation patterns in patients with septic shock using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation technology, a microfluidic device capable of measuring platelet microaggregate formation under flow conditions. Platelet aggregation was increased in the washed platelet samples of septic patients. Conversely, these same platelets aggregated less than healthy controls when examined in their plasma.

description: Low-temperature (LT) stress induces significant changes to plant cells including perturbations of various physio-biochemical and metabolic processes, which impact primary metabolism, respiratory rate, and the ATP production for biosynthesis and growth. Mitochondria from LT-tolerant species respond to LT through remodeling their composition that changes the structural and functional properties of the organelles. In this review, we discuss physiological aspects of mitochondrial respiration rate that are affected by LT, as well as, changes in the abundance of respiratory components under LT. The latter includes components of the phosphorylating and non-phosphorylating pathways and adjustments of mitochondrial membrane composition. Our objective is to provide a detailed overview of the often-contrasting reports of mitochondrial-specific changes and responses to LT and look for consensus themes to explain changes and draw more generally applicable observations about the LT response of plant respiration.

description: In the governance of the shared mobility market of a city or of a metropolitan area, there are two conflicting principles: 1) the healthy competition between multiple platforms, such as between Uber and Lyft in the United States, and 2) economies of network scale, which leads to higher chances for trips to be matched, and thus higher operation efficiency, but which also implies monopoly. The current shared mobility markets, as observed in different cities in the world, are either monopolistic, or largely segmented by multiple platforms, the latter with significant efficiency loss. How to keep the competition between platforms, but to reduce the efficiency loss due to segmentation with new market designs is the focus of this paper. We first propose a theoretical framework of shared mobility market segmentation and then propose four market structure designs thereupon. The framework and four designs are first discussed as an abstract model, without losing generality, thus not constrained to any specific city. High-level perspectives and detailed mechanisms for each proposed market structure are both examined. Then, to assess the real-world performance of these market structure designs, we used a ride-sharing simulator with real-world ride-hailing trip data from New York City to simulate. The proposed market designs can reduce the total vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) by 6\% while serving more customers with 8.4\% fewer total number of trips. In the meantime, customers receive better services with on-average 5.4\% shorter waiting time. At the end of the paper, the feasibility of implementation for each proposed market structure is discussed.

description: [fol. 84] A Montpellier ce 28 juillet 1775.

Monsieur,

La dernière assemblée publique de notre société sort de presse. Je me suis hâté de retirer l’exemplaire qui vous vient de droit et celui que nous sommes dans l’usage d’offrir à votre académie. Je vous les envoie par le retour de votre digne prélat dont M. son aumônier a bien voulu se charger.
Je reçus hier votre second paquet de la continuation des commentaires de Ludwig. Je serai bientôt en état de vous renvoyer le premier. Vous avez joint à ce dernier le mémoire de M. Marret sans doute pour m’en procurer la lecture. J’en avais connaissance depuis plus d’un an que l’auteur l’adressa à M. Haguenot pour la bibliothèque publique. Je vous suis très obligé de votre attention. Je n’avais pas vu l’apostille concernant le […] de M. Legouz. Cette addition eut certainement fait plaisir à M. Hauguenot dans un autre temps. J’ai craint de la lui communiquer dans les circonstances présentes, trop critiques par l’état où il se trouve. Nous craignons de le perdre chaque jour, ses forces l’abandonnent à mesure qu’un dégout invincible fait des nouveaux progrès.
On nous dit hier que M. Venel était aussi fort mal à Pézenas, qu’il était dans le délire avec la gangrène aux jambes qui plus tôt et plus tard, qui d’une façon qui de l’autre, [fol. 84v] nous tendons tous à la même fin.
M. de Montferrier ayant donné des ordres pour faire apporter différentes mines de houille et a déjà reçu celle d’Herepian et je crois de celle d’Alby. Si vous jugez à propos que j’en expédie séparément, vous m’en donnerez avis et m’indiquerez la quantité nécessaire.
Le billet que vous me dites avoir inséré pour moi dans une lettre à M. Cusson ne m’a point été remis. Le docteur en droit charge son fils qui l’a égaré. C’est un petit mal. Il ne contenait autre chose que l’accusation de la réception des livres prêtés audit sieur. Je souhaite que votre santé soit rétablie, peut-être exigez-vous trop d’elle ? La saison est bien peu propre au travail d’esprit. Les chaleurs nous énervent assez sans faire une double dépense de force, ménagez-vous donc un peu plus pour vous-même et pour l’honneur des sciences.
Je n’apprends que du sinistre sur l’affaire de Gouan, le Parlement de Toulouse qui est actuellement juge a décrété d’ajournement M. Gouan le père. Je crains que le pauvre professeur ne perde dans tout cela son temps, sa santé et sa bourse.
Je suis avec tout le respect et l’attachement possible,

Monsieur,
 Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur

description: Motivated by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network (ARDSNetwork) ARDS respiratory management (ARMA) trial, we developed a flexible Bayesian machine learning approach to estimate the average causal effect and heterogeneous causal effects among the always-survivors stratum when clinical outcomes are subject to truncation. We adopted Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) to flexibly specify separate models for the potential outcomes and latent strata membership. In the analysis of the ARMA trial, we found that the low tidal volume treatment had an overall benefit for participants sustaining acute lung injuries on the outcome of time to returning home, but substantial heterogeneity in treatment effects among the always-survivors, driven most strongly by sex and the alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient at baseline (a physiologic measure of lung function and source of hypoxemia). These findings illustrate how the proposed methodology could guide the prognostic enrichment of future trials in the field. We also demonstrated through a simulation study that our proposed Bayesian machine learning approach outperforms other parametric methods in reducing the estimation bias in both the average causal effect and heterogeneous causal effects for always-survivors.

description: The block-iterative projections (BIP) method of Aharoni and Censor [Block-iterative projection methods for parallel computation of solutions to convex feasibility problems, Linear Algebra and its Applications 120, (1989), 165--175] is an iterative process for finding asymptotically a point in the nonempty intersection of a family of closed convex subsets. It employs orthogonal projections onto the individual subsets in an algorithmic regime that uses "blocks" of operators and has great flexibility in constructing specific algorithms from it. We extend this algorithmic scheme to handle a family of continuous cutter operators and to find a common fixed point of them. Since the family of continuous cutters includes several important specific operators, our generalized scheme, which ensures global convergence and retains the flexibility of BIP, can handle, in particular, metric (orthogonal) projectors and continuous subgradient projections, which are very important in applications. We also allow a certain kind of adaptive perturbations to be included, and along the way we derive a perturbed Fejér monotonicity lemma which is of independent interest.

description: This study explored the impact of sodium acetate (Na-acetate) impact on lipid, carotenoid, and β-carotene production by the newly isolated strain Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. Batch and fed-batch bioreactor cultures were employed to optimize growth conditions and product yields. R. mucilaginosa fed with Na-acetate in the yeast medium was evaluated in the batch bioreactor culture. The following merits were accomplished for the cell dry weight (5.02 gL−1), lipid content (65.73%), carotenoid (40.33 µgg−1) and β-carotene (17.63 µgg−1) consistently. The fed-batch reactor cultivation using yeast extract supplemented with Na-acetate yielded superior lipid content (68.58%), cell dry weight (5.92 gL−1), carotenoid (48.36 µgg−1), and β-carotene production (21.38 µgg−1) compared to batch cultivation. The fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) are produced from the lipids suitable for biodiesel production. These findings highlight the potential of R. mucilaginosa as a promising organism for sustainable biofuel and high-value compound production. Further optimization of culture conditions and downstream processing could enhance the commercial viability of this approach.

description: Objectives: One of the main requirements of a protective helmet is to provide and maintain appropriate and adequate coverage to the head. A helmet that is poorly fitted or fastened may become displaced during normal use or even ejected during a crash. Methods: Observations and measurements of head dimensions, helmet position, adjustment, and stability were made on 216 motorcyclists. Helmet details were recorded. Participants completed a questionnaire on helmet usability and their riding history. Helmet stability was assessed quasistatically. Results: Differences between the dimensions of ISO headforms and equivalent sized motorcyclists’ heads were observed, especially head width. Almost all (94%) of the helmets were labeled to be compliant with AS/NZS 1698 (2006). The majority of riders were satisfied with the comfort, fit, and usability aspects of their helmets. The majority of helmets were deemed to have been worn correctly. Using quasistatic pull tests, it was found that helmet type (open-face or full-face) and the wearing correctness were among factors that affected the loads at which helmets became displaced. The forces required to displace the helmet were low, around 25 N. Conclusions: The size of the in-use motorcycle helmets did not correspond well to the predicted size based on head dimensions, although motorcyclists were generally satisfied with comfort and fit. The in vivo stability tests appear to overpredict that helmets will come off in a crash, based on the measured forces, tangential forces measured in the oblique impact tests, and the actual rate of helmet ejection.

description: Clouds play a key role in regulating climate change but are difficult to simulate within Earth system models (ESMs). Improving the representation of clouds is one of the key tasks towards more robust climate change projections. This study introduces a new machine-learning based framework relying on satellite observations to improve understanding of the representation of clouds and their relevant processes in climate models. The proposed method is capable of assigning distributions of established cloud types to coarse data. It facilitates a more objective evaluation of clouds in ESMs and improves the consistency of cloud process analysis. The method is built on satellite data from the MODIS instrument labelled by deep neural networks with cloud types defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), using cloud type labels from CloudSat as ground truth. The method is applicable to datasets with information about physical cloud variables comparable to MODIS satellite data and at sufficiently high temporal resolution. We apply the method to alternative satellite data from the Cloud\_cci project (ESA Climate Change Initiative), coarse-grained to typical resolutions of climate models. The resulting cloud type distributions are physically consistent and the horizontal resolutions typical of ESMs are sufficient to apply our method. We recommend outputting crucial variables required by our method for future ESM data evaluation. This will enable the use of labelled satellite data for a more systematic evaluation of clouds in climate models.

description: Isolation of high-quality RNA from abaca is very challenging due to the presence of polyphenols, polysaccharides, and its high fiber content. In this study, we compared six extraction methods across three tissue types and different developmental stages (in-vitro-grown young versus field-grown mature tissue). The Invitrogen PureLink RNA kit proved to be the most efficient in extracting RNA from young abaca tissues (leaves, pseudostem, and corm). The quality of RNA extracted from young tissues was further assessed by RNA-seq applications, with raw sequencing reads mapping back to the M. textilis reference genome at rates of 86.0%–90.4%. The SDS-TRIzol-method modified with an added on-column DNAse I treatment was used to extract RNA from mature tissues (leaves, midrib, and pseudostem). RNA isolated from five M. textilis cultivars and across three mature tissue types showed RNA yield per 100 mg of fresh weight ranges from 0.57 to 10.94 µg and RNA integrity number (RIN) scores of more than 7.0 for all tissue types. Our improved SDS-Trizol method for RNA extraction described here is simple and yields good quality RNAs from mature abaca tissues while the PureLink RNA kit is suitable for extracting RNA from young abaca samples amenable to RT-qPCR and next-generation sequencing studies.

description: This study investigated the effect of synthetic voice of conversational agent trained with spontaneous speech on human interactants. Specifically, we hypothesized that humans will exhibit more social responses when interacting with conversational agent that has a synthetic voice built on spontaneous speech. Typically, speech synthesizers are built on a speech corpus where voice professionals read a set of written sentences. The synthesized speech is clear as if a newscaster were reading a news or a voice actor were playing an anime character. However, this is quite different from spontaneous speech we speak in everyday conversation. Recent advances in speech synthesis enabled us to build a speech synthesizer on a spontaneous speech corpus, and to obtain a near conversational synthesized speech with reasonable quality. By making use of these technology, we examined whether humans produce more social responses to a spontaneously speaking conversational agent. We conducted a large-scale conversation experiment with a conversational agent whose utterances were synthesized with the model trained either with spontaneous speech or read speech. The result showed that the subjects who interacted with the agent whose utterances were synthesized from spontaneous speech tended to show shorter response time and a larger number of backchannels. The result of a questionnaire showed that subjects who interacted with the agent whose utterances were synthesized from spontaneous speech tended to rate their conversation with the agent as closer to a human conversation. These results suggest that speech synthesis built on spontaneous speech is essential to realize a conversational agent as a social actor.

description: Objective: Sarcopenia and insulin resistance are common co-morbidities in the elderly and are known to be associated with vitamin D deficiency. However, no previous studies have investigated interactions between all three of these factors. We aimed to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration, sarcopenia, and insulin resistance in postmenopausal Korean women. Methods: This study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2011. Participants were 3744 postmenopausal Korean women. Sarcopenia was defined as appendicular skeletal muscle mass divided by body weight >1 standard deviation below the mean for women aged 20–40 years. The serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and fasting insulin levels were measured, and insulin resistance was calculated using the formula: fasting plasma glucose (mg/dl) × fasting insulin (mIU/l)/405. Results: We found a strong inverse association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and sarcopenia in postmenopausal Korean women (p = 0.0009). There was also a significant association between sarcopenia and insulin resistance, independent of vitamin D and obesity status (p Conclusions: Sarcopenia was associated with both insulin resistance and 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration in postmenopausal Korean women, regardless of obesity status. However, 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was not associated with insulin resistance. Sarcopenia is therefore of greater clinical importance due to its close relationship with insulin resistance.

title: Variability of Atmospheric Hydrocarbon Concentrations and Deposition Rates

Year: 1983

description: The atmospheric hydrocarbon concentration was determined at various locations throughout Southeastern Virginia from July 1981 to February 1983. During this period the concentration ranged from 0.4 to 5.5 μg/m3 . From October 1982 to February 1983, WET and dry deposition samples were collected in conjunction with these air samples. Total hydrocarbon dry deposition rates ranged from deposition rates ranged from 4 to 189 μg/m2 /day, while WET 22 to 670 μg/m2 /day. Hydrocarbon concentrations found were within the ranges reported in the literature for wet, dry and atmospheric hydrocarbon concentrations.

Linear trend analysis revealed no correlation between total hydrocarbon concentration, percent aliphatic or percent UCM and meteorological data (consisting of wind speed, wind direction, and relative humidity) obtained from Norfolk International Airport.

Short term variations in the atmospheric hydrocarbon concentration (on the order of hours) were detected in the air samples. Variability in the WET and dry deposition rates (on the order of days) was also detected. Over a 16.4 day continuous sampling period between January and February 1983, the average total hydrocarbon deposition rate was 186 μg/m2 /day, similar to total hydrocarbon deposition rates of 203 μg/m2 /day reported for Norfolk, Virginia from 1981 to 1982 (Wade, 1983). Thus, it appears that the short term variability (on the order of days) of total hydrocarbon deposition rates are not observed when longer time periods (years) are considered.
