description: A study of social factors and blood pressure was conducted in a Jamaican community among a sample of 199 persons ages 30 to 50. After controlling for obesity, age, and respondent tension (and other covariates), interaction effects of social class x sex for systolic and diastolic blood pressure were found. Blood pressure increased with increasing social class for males and decreased with increasing social class for females.

description: Sagital otoliths of Trachinus draco sampled from occidental Tunisian waters (North Tunisia), were analyzed for the first time in order to compare otolith pairs (Left-Right) and also between sexes using biometrics data (conventional otolith morphometric variables: area, length and width) and contour shape (external outlines). The contour shape and morphometric variables of the otolith were considered as a good tool to differentiate Greater weever genders, also there were inconsistencies in the symmetry of the otolith pairs of this species. This asymmetry is used as measures of developmental instability resulting from anthropogenic or natural disturbances.

Searching for a Compressed Polyline with a Minimum Number of Vertices
Creators: name: Gribov, Alexander
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computational Geometry (cs.CG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: There are many practical applications that require simplification of polylines. Some of the goals are to reduce the amount of information necessary to store, improve processing time, or simplify editing. The simplification is usually done by removing some of the vertices, making the resultant polyline go through a subset of the source polyline vertices. However, such approaches do not necessarily produce a new polyline with the minimum number of vertices. The approximate solution to find a polyline, within a specified tolerance, with the minimum number of vertices is described in this paper.

Year: 1988

description: We surveyed 62 North Carolina day care centers (DCCs) to determine their policies for excluding children. We found that the addition of a temperature of 100-101 degrees F to each of eight symptoms was associated with an increase in the percentage of DCCs choosing "immediate pick-up." Non-profit centers were more likely to send children home (70 per cent) than for-profit centers (48 per cent). Centers with and without written illness policies did not differ in their management of sick children.

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: While the literature has been fairly dense in the areas of scene understanding and semantic labeling there have been few works that make use of motion cues to embellish semantic performance and vice versa. In this paper, we address the problem of semantic motion segmentation, and show how semantic and motion priors augments performance. We pro- pose an algorithm that jointly infers the semantic class and motion labels of an object. Integrating semantic, geometric and optical ow based constraints into a dense CRF-model we infer both the object class as well as motion class, for each pixel. We found improvement in performance using a fully connected CRF as compared to a standard clique-based CRFs. For inference, we use a Mean Field approximation based algorithm. Our method outperforms recently pro- posed motion detection algorithms and also improves the semantic labeling compared to the state-of-the-art Automatic Labeling Environment algorithm on the challenging KITTI dataset especially for object classes such as pedestrians and cars that are critical to an outdoor robotic navigation scenario.

description: This study investigated the 18-month incidence of tooth loss in a random sample of 451 dentate noninstitutionalized Iowans aged 65 and older residing in two rural counties. They had a mean of 19.0 teeth at baseline and lost an average of 0.4 teeth during the subsequent 18 months. Twenty-one per cent of the population lost at least one tooth. Four people had all their teeth extracted. Of the teeth present at baseline, 1.9 per cent subsequently were extracted. The highest incidence of tooth loss occurred among mandibular molars (3.7 per cent), followed by maxillary premolars and canines (3.1 per cent each). The best predictors of tooth loss were previous coronal and root caries.

Typical tubules in the acellular bone of gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata (Teleostei: Perciformes: Sparidae)
Creators: name: SIRE, Jean-Yves

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2017

description: Previous studies of the bone structure in some sparids pointed to particular features, notably the presence of cell bodies within tubules located in the bone matrix, that contrasted with the currently accepted bone acellularity in Perciformes. By studying sections of demineralized bony rays of the sparid Sparus aurata using light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), (i) we describe typical tubules in the primary bone, and their absence in the secondary bone, but (ii) we have neither found cell bodies (e.g. nuclei) in these tubules nor osteocytes embedded in the bone matrix, a series of observations which confirmed that the bone is acellular. The numerous, parallely-arranged tubules perpendicular to the bone surface are different from the typical osteocyte canaliculi described in cellular bone. Indeed, these tubules house two components: long and narrow, vertical collagen bundles, among which are located several, thin, cytoplasmic processes issued from osteoblasts located at the bone surface. The collagen bundles originate for a large part in the mesenchyme behind the osteoblast layer, but are also probably synthesized by the lining osteoblasts, and penetrate the bone matrix between two neighbour osteoblasts. The possible function of these particular tubules is discussed.
Promoting breastfeeding at a migrant health center.

Year: 1988

description: A program to promote breastfeeding was introduced at a migrant health center in North Carolina. Strategies for promoting breastfeeding as a feeding method particularly suited to the migrant lifestyle were identified and implemented. Donated layettes were used to encourage attendance of prenatal patients at a class on breastfeeding. Women planning to breastfeed were given cards to alert the delivering hospital of their intention. These hospitals were provided with bilingual flipcharts to use in communicating with non-English speaking patients. Of the 158 women who came to the center for one or more prenatal visits, 101 attended a class or received individual counseling on breastfeeding; during this 13-month period, 52 per cent of 64 women who attended the class were breastfeeding at time of their hospital discharge (Mexican-Americans 60%, Black Americans 44%). In a comparison of similar ethnic distribution, the corresponding rate was 10%.
The value of water supply and sanitation in development: an assessment.
Creators: name: Okun, D A
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: The attractiveness of oral rehydration therapy (ORT), a new and simple ministration that averts many child deaths from diarrhea among children, is diverting attention among donor agencies from the importance of water supply and sanitation (WS&S) in developing nations. The principal factor that led to the adoption of ORT is its apparent low cost per diarrheal death averted in children when compared with WS&S. However, WS&S provides many more benefits that are essential to sustaining the lives saved by ORT and vital to maintaining and enhancing the lives of adults and children. Among many other benefits WS&S prevents spread of the causes of diarrhea, controls many other water- and sanitation-related diseases, releases women from the heavy and time-consuming burden of carrying water from distant sources, and improves the quality of life in the community. Cost comparisons between WS&S and ORT are misleading. WS&S is a long-term investment in preventive health while ORT is a response to an immediate life-threatening situation. WS&S interventions eliminate unsanitary conditions leading to illness and death while ORT has no effect on the causes of diarrheal morbidity. The costs of WS&S are not high: $5 to $10 per capita annually. Without WS&S and hygiene education ORT programs are not likely to effect long-term improvement in child health status. ORT and WS&S programs are complementary; one should not displace the other.

description: We consider two immobile spin $1/2$ fermions in a two-dimensional magnetic system that is close to the $ O(3)$ magnetic quantum critical point (QCP) which separates magnetically ordered and disordered phases. Focusing on the disordered phase in the vicinity of the QCP, we demonstrate that the criticality results in a strong long range attraction between the fermions, with potential $V(r) \propto -1/r^ν$, $ν\approx 0.75$, where $r$ is separation between the fermions. The mechanism of the enhanced attraction is similar to Casimir effect and corresponds to multi-magnon exchange processes between the fermions. While we consider a model system, the problem is originally motivated by recent establishment of magnetic QCP in hole doped cuprates under the superconducting dome at doping of about 10\%. We suggest the mechanism of magnetic critical enhancement of pairing in cuprates.

description: A sample of adult Black policyholders of the nation's largest Black-owned life insurance company was surveyed in 1986 to add to limited data on smoking and quitting patterns among Black Americans, and to provide direction for cessation initiatives targeted to Black smokers. Forty per cent of 2,958 age-eligible policyholders for whom current addresses were available returned a completed questionnaire. Population estimates for smoking status agree closely with national estimates for Blacks age 21-60 years: 50 per cent never-smokers; 36 per cent current smokers; 14 per cent ex-smokers. Current and ex-smokers reported a modal low-rate/high nicotine menthol smoking pattern. Current smokers reported a mean of 3.8 serious quit attempts, a strong desire and intention to quit smoking and limited past use of effective quit smoking treatments and self-help resources. Correlates of motivation to quit smoking were similar to those found among smokers in the general population, including smoking-related illnesses and medical advice to quit smoking, previous quit attempts, beliefs in smoking-related health harms/quitting benefits, and expected social support for quitting. Methodological limitations and implications for the design of needed Black-focused quit smoking initiatives are discussed.

description: The effects of local electronic interactions and finite temperatures upon the transmission across the Cu$_4$CoCu$_4$ metallic heterostructure are studied in a combined density functional and dynamical mean field theory. It is shown that, as the electronic correlations are taken into account via a local but dynamic self-energy, the total transmission at the Fermi level gets reduced (predominantly in the minority spin channel), whereby the spin polarization of the transmission increases. The latter is due to a more significant $d$-electrons contribution, as compared to the non-correlated case in which the transport is dominated by $s$ and $p$ electrons.

We found 20 per cent of women could not accurately report on whether a Pap smear had been done within three years (sensitivity = 0.95, specificity = 0.47). Source of gynecological care and perceived barriers to obtaining a Pap smear but not education were associated with inaccurate reports. Self-report may be a misleading measure of Pap smear screening in comparable groups of women.

description: The independent contributions to recovery from hip fracture of psychosocial factors including depression, personality, social connectedness, and self-rated health were studied in 219 women age 59 and older (mean age 78.5) who were community dwelling prior to fracture. Initial assessments were conducted shortly after surgery and follow up assessments 2, 6, and 12 months later. By 12 months, 15 patients had died and 15 had entered a nursing home. Substantial declines in physical functioning though not psychosocial status were observed. Only 21 per cent (compared to 81 per cent prefracture) reported walking independently; fewer than 30 per cent had regained reported prefracture levels of physical function. The proportion with elevated depression scores at 12 months was 20 per cent, down from 51 per cent following surgery; 64 per cent rated their health excellent or good at 12 months, up from 43 per cent after surgery. Poor cognitive status and post-surgical self-rated health were predictive of mortality. Among survivors, age, prefracture physical functioning, and cognitive status were associated with recovery in physical function but not psychosocial status. High post-surgery depression scores, but not the other psychosocial factors, were associated with poorer recovery in both functional and psychosocial status. These findings demonstrate the importance of depressive symptoms as one determinant of recovery from hip fracture and support the need to attend to the affective status of hip fracture patients following surgery.

description: Population parameters of the Atlantic horse mackerel Trachurus trachurus were investigated using size-at-age data derived from regular monthly samples comprising 962 individuals (488 males, 358 females and 116 undetermined). Samples were collected from the population living near the North Atlantic Moroccan coast (Larache area) between June 2005 and November 2006. The growth study was based on the interpretation of growth rings observable on 687 otoliths (Sagitta). The otoliths preserved two annual growth rings, one opaque and the other hyaline. The opaque ring is formed mainly in spring and summer, while the hyaline is formed in autumn and winter. Total fish length varied between 12.8 to 38.4 cm and total weight from 15.0 to 528.7 g; the calculated length-weight relationship was W = 0.005 L3.171. Parameters estimated by the Von Bertalanffy growth equation (using all captured individuals) were L∞ = 44.67 cm, K = 0.14 year-1 and t0 = -0.46 year. The maximum observed age was 9 years. Relationships between otolith weight, age, and fish length were examined to present evidence to support a rapid and inexpensive method for ageing individuals of horse mackerel. The determined values are total mortality Z = 0.39 year-1, natural mortality M = 0.14 year-1 and fishing mortality F = 0.26 year-1. The stock exploitation rate (E) was estimated to be 0.65 indicating over exploitation. The results obtained were compared with those from other horse mackerel growth studies made in different areas.

description: We investigated the association between retirement and primary cardiac arrest (PCA) in 126 male cases and controls, 25-75 years of age, without prior heart disease or comorbidity. After adjustment for age alone, retirement was not associated with an increased risk of PCA, (OR = 1.1; 95% confidence intervals = 0.5, 2.4). This lack of association was not uniform across age strata, however. In 10 of 19 discordant pairs 60 gr more years of age, the control subject had been retired; in all seven discordant pairs under 60, the case had been retired (lower 95% CI of the relative risk = 1.9).

description: Data from a 1980, community-based survey of adult residents of Edgecombe County, North Carolina were analyzed to examine differences between Blacks and Whites in the reported use of medical care after experiencing chest pain. Of all adults (N = 302) with chest pain in the year prior to interview, 49 percent of Blacks and 27 percent of Whites did not see a physician following the chest pain (difference = 22%, 95% CI = 12, 33). A multivariable analysis found that although the association between race and utilization was reduced at poverty levels of income, it was not explained by differences in demographic characteristics, health status or other dimensions of access to care.

description: BACKGROUND: Studies of adolescent smoking suggest that the causes of smoking initiation may differ for Blacks and Whites. METHODS: Correlates of smoking initiation were examined among 1,277 nonsmokers, ages 12-14, who completed questionnaires in their homes. The analyses examined relationships between smoking initiation and 11 explanatory variables using logistic regression with the combined sample and with Black and White samples. RESULTS: Over two years, 24 percent of Whites and 14 percent of Blacks started to smoke. Whites were more likely to start smoking at age 12 and Blacks at age 14. Having a best friend who smoked increased the odds of initiating smoking over twofold for Whites but had no effect on the odds of smoking for Blacks. CONCLUSIONS: Whites initiate smoking earlier than Blacks and are more likely to be influenced by friend behavior.

description: The present study investigated the effects of sublethal concentrations of cadmium (Cd) at different salinity level on the levels of catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in gills of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The levels of CAT in gills were significantly higher at salinity 5 than at 15 and 27 with and without Cd exposure. At salinities 5 and 27, the levels of CAT in control gills were significantly higher than in Cd-exposed gills. The levels of GSH in both control and Cd-exposed gills at all salinities were not significantly different. The level of MDA in Cd-exposed gills at salinity 5 was higher than in control gills. Meanwhile the MDA levels in control and Cd-exposed gills at salinity 15 and 27 were not significantly different. The high level of MDA paralleled with the low activity of CAT at low salinity suggested that salinity played a protective role for shrimp under Cd exposure.

description: The reproduction of Pagellus acarne caught in Oran Bay was studied. The samples used were sorted monthly from commercial catches of coastal trawlers operating in this area from April 2008 to July 2009. The overall sex ratio was in favor of females 1:1.27 and length frequency distribution according to sex revealed that the females were highly representative beyond 20.5 cm of total length presuming a sexual inversion already described for this sparidae. The estimated lengths at maturity (L m) were 12.8 cm for females and 16.0 cm for males. Two spawning periods were made out by the follow-up of the gonado and hepato somatic indexes: a spring period from April to June with a peak in May and an autumnal period, between November and January with a peak in December. The closed season in Oran Bay extends from 1 st May to 31 th August, which is to our opinion insufficient to safeguard the renewal of the resource and its spawning stock.

description: Trachinus radiatus is a by-catch species on the Tunisian coasts. In this work, several aspects of its reproductive biology were investigated for the first time at local and worldwide scale. The studied sample was composed of 214 specimens with a total length ranging from 11.0 to 50.7 cm and was caught in the Gulf of Tunis. The sex-ratio was 1:1.42, with a significant difference between the number of males and females. Following the monthly variations of the mean gonadosomatic index (GSI), the sexual activity period of the starry weever occurred between May and September. Monthly mean hepatosomatic index (HSI) varied in exactly the same way as the GSI. The best condition of the starry weever was recorded between April and September. The evaluated length at first sexual maturity (TL50) of the species was 24.5 cm. For an optimal protection of T. radiatus, it should be caught between the length range of TL50 = 24.5 cm and Lopt = 35.0 cm.

description: Questo capitolo e’ un contributo tecnico sul ruolo delle coooperative nello sviluppo rurale. Nei paesi sviluppati e in via di sviluppo, esistono esempi di organizzazioni di produttori e cooperative che sono innovative e di successo nel dare supporto ai piccoli produttori. Tuttavia tali esperienze rimangono limitate in scala e negli obiettivi. La sfida principale e’ costruire su queste esperienze di successo per catalizzare uno sviluppo sostenibile. La Fao e la comunitá internazionale pongono l’accento su un riorientamento degli interventi affinché riconoscano le capacitá di azione e di decisione delle cooperative e delle organizzazioni di produttori di fronte ad attori piú forti. L’appoggio a tali organizzazioni deve essere costruito su dinamiche di cambiamento organizzative o di altra natura endogene alle organizzazioni per stimolare l’impegno attivo dei membri a gestire il loro processo di sviluppo. Gli esempi forniti nel capitolo riguardano l’Argentina, il Benin e l’Etiopia e offrono una concreta idea su come le cooperative possono contribuire allo sviluppo rurale e e allo sviluppo socio – economico delle comunitá in cui operano.

Occupation, industry, and fatal motor vehicle crashes in 20 states, 1986-1987.
Creators: name: Loomis, D.P.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: BACKGROUND: Motor vehicles are a leading cause of injury on and off the job. METHODS: To describe the occurrence of fatal motor vehicle crashes in the working-age population, a case-control study was conducted among persons 15-64 years old who died in 1986 or 1987 in any of 20 states reporting death certificate occupational data to the National Center for Health Statistics. Cases were occupants of motor vehicles (excluding motorcycles) who died of injuries sustained in a crash (E810-E825, 9th revision International Classification of Diseases), and controls died of any other cause. RESULTS: Transportation-related occupations had more than the expected number of deaths for men (odds ratio = 1.6, 95% confidence interval = 1.4-1.9) and women (odds ratio = 2.1, 95% confidence interval = 1.0-4.5), as did managerial occupations (odds ratio = 1.3 and 1.7, 95% confidence interval = 1.1-1.5 and 1.3-2.2 for men and women, respectively). Men in mining and oil drilling occupations and the wholesale trade industry also had excess crash deaths. Among women, additional excesses were observed among professional specialists and in several groups with few deaths, including agriculture, construction, and the military, whereas homemakers had markedly fewer vehicle crash deaths than expected. CONCLUSIONS: These findings encourage further investigation of this important safety hazard, but also call attention to a need for more detailed studies and improved data.

description: An intense bloom of Chaetoceros tortissimum was observed in Chouldari Bay, South Andaman Island, between 22nd and 28th of May 2013. Physico-chemical parameters, nutrients and phytoplankton composition were studied. Environmental parameters such as surface water temperature (31.5ºC), salinity (25-32), pH (7.6-8.3), dissolved oxygen (4.13 mg L-1) and biological oxygen demand (2.34 mg L-1) were recorded. Among nutrients, nitrate varied from 3.36 to 5.38 µmol L-1, nitrite ranged from 0.20 to 0.60 µmol L-1, phosphate from 0.02 to 0.52 µmol L-1 and silicate from 9.62 to 12.22 µmol L-1. Biomass was expressed in terms of chlorophyll a ranging from 0.17 to 0.21Vg L-1. Phytoplankton was composed of 95 species belonging to 42 genera and the contribution of C. tortissimum to the total phytoplankton abundance (42,000-76,000 cells.mL-1) was 99.4%. High rainfall was found to be the primary causative agent for triggering the bloom of C. tortissimum. Moreover, increase in water temperature and salinity was also found to be an influencing co-factor which had contributed to the bloom. Conclusively, intense fertilization of the farms, coupled with ineffective management strategies is hypothesized to have a direct link on the increase of nutrients found in Chouldari Bay.

description: The relation of physical activity to hypertension was examined in 1751 Black adults in Pitt County, NC. More women (65%) than men (44%) were classified as sedentary. Sedentary behavior was not associated with the prevalence of hypertension in men, but was associated with a 31% increase in prevalence for women (sedentary-26.2%; active-20.0%; P < .01. The association in women was independent of other risk factors for hypertension.

description: In quantum theory of gravity, we expect the Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) and the modification of the dispersion relation between energy and momentum for photons. The effect of the energy-dependent velocity due to the modified dispersion relation for photons was studied in the standard cosmological context by using a sample of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). In this paper we mainly discuss the possible LIV effect by using different cosmological models for the accelerating universe. Due to the degeneracies among model parameters, the GRBs' time delay data are combined with the cosmic microwave background data from the Planck first year release, the baryon acoustic oscillation data at six different redshifts, as well as Union2 type Ia supernovae data, to constrain both the model parameters and the LIV effect. We find no evidence of LIV.

description: Deep-water video recording and photographs were obtained with the JASON Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in the southwestern Gulf of California, Mexico, in May 2008. Among the video footage a continuous sequence of approximately two minutes was analyzed, located approximately at 25.0883°N-110.476°W, between 835 and 848 m depth. The habitat analysed is 24.2 m2 of a rocky ledge, on the eastern continental slope of the Baja California Peninsula, a corridor 22 m long by 1.1 m wide. Although no specimens were collected during the survey, macroscopic observations based on morphology and colour patterns allowed for the distinction of taxa. Nineteen species of megabenthos were recognized belonging to five Phyla: eight Porifera, two Cnidaria, seven Echinodermata, one Mollusca and one Crustacea. A total of 528 specimens were accounted for, with a strong dominance of Cnidaria of the family Alcyoniidae (28%) and of an unidentified species of squat lobster of the genus Munidopsis (29%). Considering the nineteen species recognized during the survey, the overall density is estimated at 217.4 × 103 orgs.ha-1. Based on this survey, a first estimation of a deep-water invertebrates community associated with a rocky ledge is now available for the Gulf of California, an area scarcely explored using ROV-technique except for hydrothermal vents, thus making future comparative studies easier.

description: This paper studies the growth of 7379 Atlantic mackerels (Scomber scombrus Linnaeus, 1758), 3626 males, 3726 females and 27 immature, caught by the commercial fleet, during 2009-2013 off the Portuguese coast (ICES Division IXa South). Age determination was done by counting the annual growth rings on otoliths from 3301 individuals. The studied fish showed a range of lengths from 16 to 49 cm (mean length of 29.7 cm) with ages between 0 and 15 years old (mean age of 2.8 years). The mean lengths at age were also found, corresponding to 20.5 cm for age 0 and 26.0 cm for age 1. No differences in the von Bertalanffy growth parameters between sexes were found but statistical differences were recorded between years. The length-weight relationships pointed to a positive allometric growth (b > 3.0) and statistical differences were found between sexes and among the five years. The information achieved in this study was compared with the data for mackerel from other geographic areas of the NE Atlantic. The results provide additional information on the growth of this species in the less studied part of the southern stock component - the Portuguese continental waters.

description: Nematic state, where the system is translationally invariant but breaks the rotational symmetry, has drawn great attentions recently due to experimental observations of such a state in both cuprates and iron-based superconductors. The mechanism of nematicity that is likely tied to the pairing mechanism of high-Tc, however, still remains controversial. Here, we studied the electronic structure of multilayer FeSe film by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We found that the FeSe film enters the nematic state around 125 K, while the electronic signature of long range magnetic order has not been observed down to 20K indicating the non-magnetic origin of the nematicity. The band reconstruction in the nematic state is characterized by the splitting of the dxz and dyz bands. More intriguingly, such energy splitting is strong momentum dependent with the largest band splitting of ~80meV at the zone corner. The simple on-site ferro-orbital ordering is insufficient to reproduce the nontrivial momentum dependence of the band reconstruction. Instead, our results suggest that the nearest-neighbor hopping of dxz and dyz is highly anisotropic in the nematic state, the origin of which holds the key in understanding the nematicity in iron-based superconductors.
