description: Innovation, heterogeneous firms and the region: evidence from Spain. Regional Studies. This paper investigates the role of regional factors in innovation performance, controlling for firms’ absorptive capacity and other sources of firm heterogeneity. The findings for a sample of firms in Spain support the hypothesis that regional determinants matter, though their role is subtler than is frequently assumed. Rather than exerting a direct influence on firms’ innovation, the regional context moderates the effect of internal determinants, particularly of the firms’ absorptive capacity. The results indicate that the type of relevant interactions differs for product and process innovation and that they only operate for small and medium-sized enterprises, being negligible for large firms.

description: In this paper, we consider the effect of a bandwidth extension of narrow-band speech signals (0.3-3.4 kHz) to 0.3-8 kHz on speaker verification. Using covariance matrix based verification systems together with detection error trade-off curves, we compare the performance between systems operating on narrow-band, wide-band (0-8 kHz), and bandwidth-extended speech. The experiments were conducted using different short-time spectral parameterizations derived from microphone and ISDN speech databases. The studied bandwidth-extension algorithm did not introduce artifacts that affected the speaker verification task, and we achieved improvements between 1 and 10 percent (depending on the model order) over the verification system designed for narrow-band speech when mel-frequency cepstral coefficients for the short-time spectral parameterization were used.

description: Visual-based target tracking is easily influenced by multiple factors, such as background clutter, targets fast-moving, illumination variation, object shape change, occlusion, etc. These factors influence the tracking accuracy of a target tracking task. To address this issue, an efficient real-time target tracking method based on a low-dimension adaptive feature fusion is proposed to allow us the simultaneous implementation of the high-accuracy and real-time target tracking. First, the adaptive fusion of a histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) feature and color feature is utilized to improve the tracking accuracy. Second, a convolution dimension reduction method applies to the fusion between the HOG feature and color feature to reduce the over-fitting caused by their high-dimension fusions. Third, an average correlation energy estimation method is used to extract the relative confidence adaptive coefficients to ensure tracking accuracy. We experimentally confirm the proposed method on an OTB100 data set. Compared with nine popular target tracking algorithms, the proposed algorithm gains the highest tracking accuracy and success tracking rate. Compared with the traditional Sum of Template and Pixel-wise LEarners (STAPLE) algorithm, the proposed algorithm can obtain a higher success rate and accuracy, improving by 0.023 and 0.019, respectively. The experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reach the real-time target tracking with 50 fps. The proposed method paves a more promising way for real-time target tracking tasks under a complex environment, such as appearance deformation, illumination change, motion blur, background, similarity, scale change, and occlusion.
Invisibilidade e reconhecimento: a construção da literacia moral em Pedagogia Social

Publisher: name: Cadernos de Pedagogia Social
Year: 2007

description: Neste artigo pretendemos reflectir a noção de ‘invisibilidade social’, no contexto de uma teoria da intersubjectividade e inserida no acto comunicativo de reconhecimento. A invisibilidade relaciona-se com a estrutura do processo de reconhecimento, do ponto de vista de uma teoria da acção e de uma epistemologia. Esta abordagem não se centra numa análise sociológica do desmascaramento – pela visibilidade – do exercício de domínio e de poder sobre outrem, através do desnudamento comunicativo. Optamos antes por uma abordagem centrada numa epistemologia moral, que realce as formas de olhar com desprezo, indiferença ou eivadas de estereótipos ‘através de outrem’, sem levar em consideração a pessoa. Pretendemos retirar dos ferimentos morais infligidos aos ‘invisíveis’ os princípios morais das implicações normativas do conceito de reconhecimento preconizado por Axel Honneth.

description: This study aims to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxic, in vitro and in ovo anti-angiogenic effects and antimicrobial activity of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) from two plants Centaurea behen and Rhaponticum repens (L.). Five SLs, including cynaropicrin (1), 4β,15-dehydro-3-dehydrosolstitialin A (2), aguerin B (3), janerin (4), cebellin E (5), and a flavone hispidulin (6) were isolated from C. behen (compounds 1–3) and R. repens (compounds 4–6). Cynaropicrin (1) and aguerin B (3) were characterised by strong cytotoxic activities against A2780 cells with IC50 values of 1.15 and 1.62 μg mL−1, respectively, comparable to that of doxorubicin (IC50 = 1.17 μg mL−1). The anti-angiogenic study showed the remarkable inhibitory effect of cynaropicrin (1) and aguerin B (3) on the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. In addition, cynaropycrin and aguerin B exhibited significant angio-inhibitory effects in CAM assay. These findings may be useful for the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer.

description: The aim of this work was to evaluate the pharmacological effect of seven structurally related terpenes on the contractility of cardiac muscle. The effect of terpenes was studied on isolated electrically driven guinea pig left atrium. From concentration–response curves for inotropic effect were determined the EC50 and relative potency of such terpenes. Our results revealed that all terpenes, except phytol, showed ability to reduce the contractile response of guinea pig left atrium. Further, relative potency was directly related to the number of isoprene units and to the lipophilicity of the compounds. For example, sesquiterpenes farnesol and nerolidol showed higher relative potency when compared with the monoterpenes citronellol, geraniol and nerol. We can conclude that most of the evaluated terpenes showed a promising negative inotropism on the atrial muscle. Future studies are necessary to investigate their action mechanism.

description: Propolis is a bee product with several biological properties. This study aimed at investigating a propolis-containing mouthwash, its organoleptic properties, microbial contamination and its antibacterial action in vitro. This mouthwash was assessed in vivo to control dental plaque in humans. The presence of microorganisms was analyzed and the minimum inhibitory concentration against Streptococcus mutans was determined. A comparative study was done in vivo using propolis, chlorhexidine, and propolis plus chlorhexidine in lower concentrations for 14 days. Dental plaque was analyzed by the Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) index. The odontological product was yellow, cloudy, free of microbial contamination, and exerted an inhibitory action in vitro. Individuals who used a propolis-containing mouthwash for 14 consecutive days in combination or not to chlorhexidine showed a similar PHP index to chlorhexidine alone. The product exerted an antibacterial action in vitro and in vivo, exhibiting a positive action in the control of dental plaque.

description: This paper investigates the possibility of high resolution mapping of PM2.5 concentration over Tehran city using high resolution satellite AOD (MAIAC) retrievals. For this purpose, a framework including three main stages, data preprocessing; regression modeling; and model deployment was proposed. The output of the framework was a machine learning model trained to predict PM2.5 from MAIAC AOD retrievals and meteorological data. The results of model testing revealed the efficiency and capability of the developed framework for high resolution mapping of PM2.5, which was not realized in former investigations performed over the city. Thus, this study, for the first time, realized daily, 1 km resolution mapping of PM2.5 in Tehran with R2 around 0.74 and RMSE better than 9.0 mg/m3. Keywords: MAIAC; MODIS; AOD; Machine learning; Deep learning; PM2.5; Regression

description: Pseurotin A was isolated from a culture of marine Bacillus sp. FS8D and showed to be active against the proliferation of four different glioma cells with IC50 values of 0.51–29.3 μM. It has been found that pseurotin A downregulated the expression of tumour glycolytic enzymes pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and lactate dehydrogenase 5 (LDH5) and upregulated the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase beta (PDHB), adenosine triphosphate synthase beta (ATPB) and cytochrome C (Cyto-C), the important regulators for tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The data suggested that targeting multiple metabolic enzymes might be one of the antiglioma mechanisms of pseurotin A.

description: Electronic counterfeiting is a longstanding problem with adverse long-term effects for many sectors, remaining on the rise. This article presents a novel low-cost technique to embed watermarking in devices with resistive-RAM (ReRAM) by manipulating its analog physical characteristics through switching (set/reset) operation to prevent counterfeiting. We develop a system-level framework to control memory cells' physical properties for imprinting irreversible watermarks into commercial ReRAMs that will be retrieved by sensing the changes in cells' physical properties. Experimental results show that our proposed ReRAM watermarking is robust against temperature variation and acceptably fast with ~0.6bit/min of imprinting and ~15.625bits/s of retrieval rates.

description: Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to enhance the generalization capability of a certain model from a source domain to a target domain. Present UDA models focus on alleviating the domain shift by minimizing the feature discrepancy between the source domain and the target domain but usually ignore the class confusion problem. In this work, we propose an Inter-class Separation and Intra-class Aggregation (ISIA) mechanism. It encourages the cross-domain representative consistency between the same categories and differentiation among diverse categories. In this way, the features belonging to the same categories are aligned together and the confusable categories are separated. By measuring the align complexity of each category, we design an Adaptive-weighted Instance Matching (AIM) strategy to further optimize the instance-level adaptation. Based on our proposed methods, we also raise a hierarchical unsupervised domain adaptation framework for cross-domain semantic segmentation task. Through performing the image-level, feature-level, category-level and instance-level alignment, our method achieves a stronger generalization performance of the model from the source domain to the target domain. In two typical cross-domain semantic segmentation tasks, i.e., GTA5 to Cityscapes and SYNTHIA to Cityscapes, our method achieves the state-of-the-art segmentation accuracy. We also build two cross-domain semantic segmentation datasets based on the publicly available data, i.e., remote sensing building segmentation and road segmentation, for domain adaptive segmentation.

description: With the expansion of the semiconductor supply chain, the use of recycled field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) has become a serious concern. Several methods for detecting recycled FPGAs by analyzing the ring oscillator (RO) frequencies have been proposed; however, most assume the known fresh FPGAs (KFFs) as the training data in machine-learning-based classification. In this study, we propose a novel recycled FPGA detection method based on an unsupervised anomaly detection scheme when there are few or no KFFs available. As the RO frequencies in the neighboring logic blocks on an FPGA are similar because of systematic process variation, our method compares the RO frequencies and does not require KFFs. The proposed method efficiently identifies recycled FPGAs through outlier detection using direct density ratio estimation. Experiments using Xilinx Artix-7 FPGAs demonstrate that the proposed method successfully distinguishes recycled FPGAs from 35 fresh FPGAs. In contrast, a conventional recycled FPGA detection method results in certain misclassification.

description: Interleukin 6 (IL6), an inflammatory response protein has major implications in immune-related inflammatory diseases. Identification of aptamers for the IL6 protein aids in diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic applications. Three different DNA aptamers and their interactions with IL6 protein were extensively investigated in a phosphate buffed saline (PBS) solution. Molecular-level modeling through molecular dynamics provided insights of structural, conformational changes and specific binding domains of these protein–aptamer complexes. Multiple simulations reveal consistent binding region for all protein–aptamer complexes. Conformational changes coupled with quantitative analysis of center of mass (COM) distance, radius of gyration (Rg), and number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in each IL6 protein–aptamer complex was used to determine their binding performance strength and obtain molecular configurations with strong binding. A similarity comparison of the molecular configurations with strong binding from molecular-level modeling concurred with Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) for these three aptamer complexes, thus corroborating molecular modeling analysis findings. Insights from the natural progression of IL6 protein–aptamer binding modeled in this work has identified key features such as the orientation and location of the aptamer in the binding event. These key features are not readily feasible from wet lab experiments and impact the efficacy of the aptamers in diagnostic and theranostic applications.

7 Word List Associations (Study 1)
Creators: name: Crozier, William
name: Strange, Deryn
Publisher: name: OSF Registries
Year: 2016

description: The goal of this study is to test the automatic associations between evidence and guilt with a control Guilty list that is more weakly associated with “guilty.” To accomplish this, we will decrease the list from a 14-word list used in previous research to a 7-word list and address the question: Do some forms of evidence show greater automatic associations with guilt than others in a 7-word list? Traditionally, a DRM list presents words in order of decreasing association: thus, the strongest-associated word is presented first, and the weakest-associated word is presented last (Roediger & McDermott, 1995; Stadler, Roediger, & McDermott, 1999). However, because it is our goal to decrease the associative strength of our list, including the most strongly-associated words may not be the best strategy. Therefore, which words we ultimately include in our 7-word list is as important a consideration as the length of the list. We hypothesize that by shortening the list to a 7-word list by removing the three most strongly associated-words and the 4 most weakly-associated words, false alarm rates to the critical lure will decrease (Study 1 Pilot Testing). Then, using this new 7-word list, we hypothesize participants in a Confession List and DNA List condition will false alarm to the critical lure more than participants in the Control List, Fingerprint List, and Eyewitness List conditions (Study 1).

Given the results of the pilot testing, we will use the Strong Association list as the control for Study 1. For the evidence lists, we will drop the last word on the Control list, and place one evidence form into the 4th position on the list.

description: Disentangled representation learning aims to extract explanatory features or factors and retain salient information. Factorized hierarchical variational autoencoder (FHVAE) presents a way to disentangle a speech signal into sequential-level and segmental-level features, which represent speaker identity and speech content information, respectively. As a self-supervised objective, autoregressive predictive coding (APC), on the other hand, has been used in extracting meaningful and transferable speech features for multiple downstream tasks. Inspired by the success of these two representation learning methods, this paper proposes to integrate the APC objective into the FHVAE framework aiming at benefiting from the additional self-supervision target. The main proposed method requires neither more training data nor more computational cost at test time, but obtains improved meaningful representations while maintaining disentanglement. The experiments were conducted on the TIMIT dataset. Results demonstrate that FHVAE equipped with the additional self-supervised objective is able to learn features providing superior performance for tasks including speech recognition and speaker recognition. Furthermore, voice conversion, as one application of disentangled representation learning, has been applied and evaluated. The results show performance similar to baseline of the new framework on voice conversion.

description: This study aimed to analyze the contributions of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication (TDIC) for higher education teaching. To support the research, we had access to many authors cited in bilbiográficas references that address issues relevant to our work. Among them, we highlight for axes, which are Axis Education and Training: Maria da Graça Nicoletti Mizukami, Lee Schulman and Cristóbal Cobo Romani; Axis Training and Technology Education: Marcos Masetto, William John Thomas Mitchell and Lucia Santaella; and the last Axis Culture and Journalism: Henry Jenkins, Marshall McLuhan and Manuel Castells.O work also included the collaboration of four teachers of a private institution of higher education in the State of São Paulo (IPESESP), through interviews with semi-structured script , teachers those who work in the communications field, especially using the TDIC. research axes have been defined to better understand the results, among which we mention: The use of TDIC as a tool and strategy, reason for doing so, the institution's incentive for the use of technology and how to use TDIC for teaching in Journalism course. The choice of qualitative research took place in the character role of research and the established objectives. The big challenge we found was the lack of preparation even teachers to monitor their students, while noting that the use of technology is beneficial for students and teachers, provided that the parties were prepared to use. Through literature review found a need for teacher trainers, for the skilful and effective exercise of teaching, including using technological tools, the need is greater in the journalism course. The results observed through our interviews showed a general need for better preparation, and the professors of the University IPESESP are qualified for their roles, particularly regarding the use of the technological tools that use to use in teaching and learning. Their experiences are positive in the use of TDIC, and there is improvement in the quality of education, where technological tools are used appropriately.

description: The main objective of the present work is to assess higher-order Entropic Lattice Boltzmann Method (ELBM) for separated and transitional flows without the use of any explicit turbulence model. For this, we chose to simulate two cases of T106 Low-Pressure Turbine (LPT) cascade -- T106A and T106C -- representing incompressible and compressible flow regimes respectively. These results are obtained using our company's in-house higher-order ELBM transonic solver. We have carried out two sets of simulations for both the test cases. One with a clean inlet and the other with an inlet disturbance given by white Gaussian noise superimposed on the inlet velocity. For the clean inlet case, the flow remains laminar on the entire blade surface for both the test cases. It undergoes transition on the suction side for the inlet disturbance case. The pressure coefficient for the T106A and the isentropic Mach number on the blade surface for the T106C matches well with the experimental results. Also, the qualitative comparison of flow features in terms of the Q-criterion is in good agreement with the earlier computational results reported in literature.

description: This study examines college students’ science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) choices as they relate to high school experiences, parent, teacher, and self-expectations, and mathematics and science efficacy. Participants were 2246 graduates of a STEM-focused public Harmony Public Schools in Texas, Harmony Public Schools (HPS). Descriptive analyses indicated that the overall percentage of HPS graduates who chose a STEM major in college was greater than Texas state and national averages. Logistic regression analyses revealed that males and Asian students are more likely to choose a STEM major in college than females and non-Asian students, respectively. Moreover, students whose parents had a college degree in the U.S. are more likely to major in STEM fields than those who did not. Furthermore, males with higher mathematics efficacy and females with higher science efficacy are more likely to choose a STEM major than their counterparts with lower mathematics and science efficacy.

description: Metaphor is not only an important literary device, but also a crucial part of language learning, butin India not a noticeable amount of study has been conducted on metaphor or metaphorical awareness. Thispaper tries to find out if there is any relation between the Metaphorical Awareness and the AcademicAchievement of the Postgraduate students. This study aims to investigate the influence of MetaphoricalAwareness on the Academic performance of the PG level students. The sample of the study was collectedfrom the 220 Postgraduate students (120 from regular students & 100 from students of distance learning) ofthe Department of English of The University of Burdwan who are pursuing their degree in the current session.Since it was purposive sampling, the data was not normally distributed, that is why the researchers have to usenon-parametric tests like Mann-Whitney U test, or Kendall’s Tau Correlation as Inferential statistics toanalyze the collected data. The outcomes of the study clearly showed that there is a positive relation betweenmetaphorical awareness and academic achievement of the students but that is statistically weak, significant at0.01 level. It also showed that even though there is no such difference between the metaphorical awareness ofthe PG students with respect to their residential area or mode of PG learning, there is a statistically significantdifference with respect to their gender. Therefore, the students as well as the teachers must be aware about the essence of metaphor in learning a language, especially English as a Second Language.

description: Cyanex 301 and Cyanex 302 have been immobilized in alginate capsules by two methods: the matrix-type process immobilizes the extractant as homogeneous-dispersed vesicles while the mononuclear mode consists of encapsulation of the extractant drop by an alginate layer. The influence of HCl concentration on Cd(II) removal is discussed as a function of acid concentration and extractant. The sorption isotherms are fitted by the Langmuir model; maximum sorption capacities reach up to 42 mg Cd g−1 in 0.1 M HCl. Uptake kinetics are controlled by resistance to intraparticle diffusion. Cadmium is desorbed using either 1 M HNO3 or 1 M thiourea/1 M HCl solutions.

description: The primitive model describes ions by point charges with an additional hard-core interaction. In classical density-functional theory the mean-field electrostatic contribution can be obtained from the first order of a functional perturbation of the pair potential for an uncharged reference system of hard spheres. This mean-field electrostatic term particularly contributes at particle separations that are forbidden due to hard-core overlap. In this work we modify the mean-field contribution such that the pair potential is constant for distances smaller than the contact distance of the ions. We motivate our modification by the underlying splitting of the potential, which is similar to the splitting of the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen potential and leads to higher-order terms in the respective expansion of the functional around the reference system. The resulting formalism involves weighted densities similar to the ones found in fundamental measure theory. To test our modifications, we analyze and compare density profiles, direct and total correlation functions, and the thermodynamic consistency of the functional via a widely established sum rule and the virial pressure formula for our modified functional, for established functionals, and for data from computer simulations. We found that our modifications clearly show improvements compared to the standard mean-field functional, especially when predicting layering effects and direct correlation functions in high concentration scenarios; for the latter we also find improved consistency when calculated via different thermodynamic routes. In conclusion, we demonstrate how modifications towards higher order corrections beyond mean-field functionals can be made and how they perform, by this providing a basis for systematic future improvements in classical density-functional theory for the description of electrostatic interactions.
