description: Background: Increasingly, high dropout rates in science courses at colleges and universities have led to discussions of causes and potential support measures of students. Students’ prior knowledge is repeatedly mentioned as the best predictor of academic achievement. Theory describes four hierarchically ordered types of prior knowledge, from declarative knowledge of facts to procedural application of knowledge. This study explores the relevance of these four prior knowledge types to academic achievement in the introductory phase of the two science subjects, biology and physics. Results: We assessed the knowledge types at the beginning and student achievement (measured by course completion) at the end of the first study year. We applied logistic regression models to evaluate the relationship between the knowledge types and academic achievement. First, we controlled for a well-established predictor of academic achievement (high school grade point average). Second, we added the knowledge types as predictors. For biology, we found that only knowledge about principles and concepts was a significant predictor in the first year. For physics, knowledge about concepts and principles as well as the ability to apply knowledge to problems was related to academic achievement. Conclusion: Our results concerning the knowledge types, which are of special relevance in biology and physics studies, could lead to effective measures, e.g. for identifying at-risk students and course guidance. Furthermore, the results provide a profound starting point for controlled intervention studies that systematically foster the identified relevant knowledge types in each subject and aim at a theory- and empirical-based optimization of pre- and introductory courses.

description: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general purpose detector, designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting solenoid with 6-m-diameter by 12.5-m-length free bore, enclosed inside a 10000-ton return yoke made of construction steel. The return yoke consists of five dodecagonal three-layered barrel wheels and four end-cap disks at each end comprised of steel blocks up to 620 mm thick, which serve as the absorber plates of the muon detection system. Accurate characterization of the magnetic field everywhere in the CMS detector is required. To measure the field in and around the steel, a system of 22 flux-loops and 82 3-D Hall sensors is installed on the return yoke blocks. Fast discharges of the solenoid (190 s time-constant) made during the CMS magnet surface commissioning test at the solenoid central fields of 2.64, 3.16, 3.68 and 4.01 T were used to induce voltages in the flux-loops. The voltages are measured on-line and integrated off-line to obtain the magnetic flux in the steel yoke close to the muon chambers at full excitations of the solenoid. The 3-D Hall sensors installed on the steel-air interfaces give supplementary information on the components of magnetic field and permit to estimate the remanent field in steel to be added to the magnetic flux density obtained by the voltages integration. A TOSCA 3-D model of the CMS magnet is developed to describe the magnetic field everywhere outside the tracking volume measured with the field-mapping machine. The results of the measurements and calculations are presented, compared and discussed.

title: Transcutaneous Oximetry (tcpO2) A study to Evaluate the Clinical Role of tcpO2 in the Vascular Patient Cohort and in Particular Those Patients with Foot Ulceration.
Creators: name: Tisdall, Vanessa
Publisher: name: Technological University of Dublin
Year: 2016

description: Introduction: Ulceration is defined as a breakdown of the skin. The treament of ulcers can be difficult and both time and cost expensive for the patient and health service. Determining what has caused this ulceration and formulating a treatment plan is key. There is no one universally accepted test which can accurately predict if a wound will heal or what treatment will be successful in healing it. Assessing the peripheral arterial system is an important first test to ensure that there is adequate blood perfusion to the ulcerated area. This is carried out by performing a test called Toe Brachial Indices (TBI’s).

In 2012 a new test called transcutaneous oximetry (tcpO2) was introduced to the vascular laboratory service in a bid to gain extra information on ulcer diagnosis and potential healing status. This test examines tissue oxygenation levels at a particular site. The purpose of this audit is to determine if tcpO2 provides any additional diagnostic information.

description: This contribution reviews our recent progress on the generation of squeezed light [1], and also the recent squeezed-light enhancement of the gravitational wave detector GEO 600 [2]. GEO 600 is currently the only GW observatory operated by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in its search for gravitational waves. With the help of squeezed states of light it now operates with its best ever sensitivity, which not only proves the qualification of squeezed light as a key technology for future gravitational wave astronomy but also the usefulness of quantum entanglement.

description: In den letzten Jahren sind viele geflüchtete Menschen neu in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland eingereist. Die Integration dieser Menschen stellt nicht nur die Bundesrepublik Deutschland im Allgemeinen vor große Herausforderungen, sondern speziell auch das deutsche Berufsbildungssystem. Das Land Niedersachsen hat zu diesem Zweck das Sprach- und Integrationsprojekt (SPRINT-Projekt) an den berufsbildenden Schulen eingeführt. Das SPRINT-Projekt soll den Jugendlichen neben dem Sprach-erwerb und der Einführung in die regionale Kultur- und Lebenswelt einen ersten Einblick in das Berufs- und Arbeitsleben geben. Da es für das SPRINT-Projekt kein vorgegebenes Curriculum gibt, sondern lediglich die Vorgabe der einzelnen Module und die Vorgabe zur Durchführung eines Praktikums gegeben ist, beantwortet diese Arbeit die Frage, wie und anhand welcher Inhalte die Berufsorientierung in den SPRINT-Projekten in Niedersachsen durchgeführt wird. Durch die Auswertung der im Forschungsprojekt BBS-InGe Niedersachsen der Universität Hannover erhobenen Daten, anhand der „qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse“ nach Mayring (2015) wurden folgende Hauptbereiche des Moduls „Einführung in das Berufs- und Arbeitsleben“ ermittelt: praktische Tätigkeiten, berufliche Orientierung, Bewerbungen, Ausbildungssystem, Strukturen und Rechtsgrundlagen, Verhalten am Arbeitsplatz und der Bereich Sonstiges. Es sind die Inhalte und der jeweilige Umfang der Bereiche ermittelt worden. Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit liegt bei dem Bereich berufliche Orientierung, der knapp ein Viertel des Gesamtumfangs von dem Modul ausmacht.

description: The utilization of solar light for the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic production of molecular hydrogen from water is a scientific and technical challenge. Semiconductors with suitable properties to promote solar-driven water splitting are a desideratum. A hitherto rarely investigated group of semiconductors are ferrites with the empirical formula MFe2O4 and related compounds. This contribution summarizes the published results of the experimental investigations on the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties of these compounds. It will be shown that the potential of this group of compounds in regard to the production of solar hydrogen has not been fully explored yet.

description: The mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase complex (complex I) is of particular importance for the respiratory chain in mitochondria. It is the major electron entry site for the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) and therefore of great significance for mitochondrial ATP generation. We recently described an Arabidopsis thaliana double-mutant lacking the genes encoding the carbonic anhydrases CA1 and CA2, which both form part of a plant-specific 'carbonic anhydrase domain' of mitochondrial complex I. The mutant lacks complex I completely. Here we report extended analyses for systematically characterizing the proteome of the ca1ca2 mutant. Using various proteomic tools, we show that lack of complex I causes reorganization of the cellular respiration system. Reduced electron entry into the respiratory chain at the first segment of the mETC leads to induction of complexes II and IV as well as alternative oxidase. Increased electron entry at later segments of the mETC requires an increase in oxidation of organic substrates. This is reflected by higher abundance of proteins involved in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and branched-chain amino acid catabolism. Proteins involved in the light reaction of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle, tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, and photorespiration are clearly reduced, contributing to the significant delay in growth and development of the double-mutant. Finally, enzymes involved in defense against reactive oxygen species and stress symptoms are much induced. These together with previously reported insights into the function of plant complex I, which were obtained by analysing other complex I mutants, are integrated in order to comprehensively describe 'life without complex I'.

description: The full-information rational expectations (FIRE) assumption is at the core of modern macroeconomics. We revisit recent evidence which rejects FIRE based on survey data. It relates forecast errors to news at different levels of aggregation. The evidence based on consensus forecasts testifies against the full-information assumption, the evidence based on data for individual forecasters against rational expectations. In contrast to earlier survey evidence that was largely dismissed as irrelevant, the recent evidence is likely to have a lasting impact for two reasons. First, the global financial crisis of 2007/08 has led to a certain uneasiness with the state of macro and a readiness to embrace new ideas. Second, the recent literature has put forward a number of promising alternative models of the expectation-formation process. We review these at the end of the paper.

description: Powdery mildew is a major disease of economic importance in cut and pot roses. As an alternative to conventional resistance breeding strategies utilizing single-dominant genes or QTLs, mildew resistance locus o (MLO)-based resistance might offer some advantages. In dicots such as Arabidopsis, pea, and tomato, loss-of-function mutations in MLO genes confer high levels of broad-spectrum resistance. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of four MLO homologs from a large rose EST collection isolated from leaves. These genes are phylogenetically closely related to other dicot MLO genes that are involved in plant powdery mildew interactions. Therefore, they are candidates for MLO genes involved in rose powdery mildew interactions. Two of the four isolated genes contain all of the sequence signatures considered to be diagnostic for MLO genes. We mapped all four genes to three linkage groups and conducted the first analysis of alternative alleles. This information is discussed in regards to a reverse genetics approach aimed at the selection of rose plants that are homozygous for loss-of-function in one or more MLO genes.

description: β-Sitosterol glucoside (SG), isolated from Senecio petasitis (Family Asteraceae), was loaded in self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) in a trial to enhance its solubility and biological effect. Various co-surfactants were tested to prepare a successful SEDDS. The selected SG-loaded SEDDS had a droplet size of 134 ± 15.2 nm with a homogenous distribution (polydispersity index 0.296 ± 0.02). It also demonstrated a significant augmentation of SG in vitro release by 4-fold compared to the free drug suspension. The in vivo insulin sensitivity and antidiabetic effect of the prepared SG-loaded SEDDS were further assessed in streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic rats. The hypoglycemic effect of SG-loaded nanosystem was evidenced by decreased serum glucose and insulin by 63.22% and 53.11%, respectively. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index demonstrated a significant reduction by 5.4-fold in the diabetic group treated by SG-loaded nanosystem and exhibited reduced glucagon level by 40.85%. In addition, treatment with SG-loaded nanosystem significantly decreased serum MDA (malondialdehyde) and increased catalase levels by 38.31% and 64.45%, respectively. Histopathological investigations also supported the protective effect of SG-loaded nanosystem on the pancreas. The promising ability of SG-loaded nanosystem to ameliorate insulin resistance, protect against oxidative stress, and restore pancreatic β-cell secretory function warrants its inclusion in further studies during diabetes progression.

description: В настоящее время актуальной является проблема получения посадочного материала сакуры. Это связано, в том числе с тем, что отмечается высокая несовместимость многих сортов с подвоями, находящимися в Госреестре, вследствие чего наблюдается низкий процент прижившихся окулянтов или ранняя гибель растений уже в насаждениях. В питомнике ООО «ОПХ им К. А. Тимирязева» Усть-Лабинского района была проведена весенняя окулировка популярных сортов декоративной вишни на выделенных формах подвоев косточковых культур, которые отличались высокой устойчивостью к одному из самых вредоносных заболеваний – коккомикозу (возбудитель – Blumeriella jaapii (Rehm) Arx). В Краснодарском крае (в Усть-Лабинском районе) отмечено наличие самой вирулентной популяции патогена. Были использованы формы сакур практически не поражаемые грибом – P. serrulata Shirofugen, P. serrulata Royal Burgundi, P. serrulata Kanzan, Rexii (Kirhn). Sok. Выделенные на этом фоне растения обладают длительной устойчивостью к болезни, это позволяет выращивать их без использования фунгицидов химического класса, что актуально для посадок в условиях городской среды. Целью исследования являлось изучение совместимости выделенных подвоев с сакурами различного происхождения и оценка биометрических параметров саженцев, разработка элементов технологии по ускорению процесса выращивания сакур в контейнерной культуре. В результате проведенной научной работы по оценки совместимости подвоев с сакурами разного происхождения выделилась форма 10-18. Пригодными для выращивания в контейнерной культуре отмечены формы подвоев 10-14 и 10-18 и СЗ 9м в различных комбинациях. При выращивании без полива они проявили наибольшую устойчивость к стрессорам абиотического характера, хотя в период исследований (2017-2018 гг.), наблюдались высокие летние температуры и длительные засухи. Выделенные формы подвоев можно использовать для весенне-летней окулировки с целью ускорения процесса производства. В условиях опыта наиболее низкорослыми оказались саженцы сакур на подвое 10-11.

description: This paper presents the source code analysis of a file reader server socket program (connection-oriented sockets) developed in Java, to illustrate the identification, impact analysis and solutions to remove five important software security vulnerabilities, which if left unattended could severely impact the server running the software and also the network hosting the server. The five vulnerabilities we study in this paper are: (1) Resource Injection, (2) Path Manipulation, (3) System Information Leak, (4) Denial of Service and (5) Unreleased Resource vulnerabilities. We analyze the reason why each of these vulnerabilities occur in the file reader server socket program, discuss the impact of leaving them unattended in the program, and propose solutions to remove each of these vulnerabilities from the program. We also analyze any potential performance tradeoffs (such as increase in code size and loss of features) that could arise while incorporating the proposed solutions on the server program. The proposed solutions are very generic in nature, and can be suitably modified to correct any such vulnerabilities in software developed in any other programming language. We use the Fortify Source Code Analyzer to conduct the source code analysis of the file reader server program, implemented on a Windows XP virtual machine with the standard J2SE v.7 development kit.

description: Hydrogels have become an increasingly interesting topic in numerous fields of application. In addition to their use as immobilization matrixes in (bio)catalysis, they are widely used in the medical sector, e.g., in drug delivery systems, contact lenses, biosensors, electrodes, and tissue engineering. Cartilage tissue engineering hydrogels from natural origins, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and gelatin, are widely known for their good biocompatibility. However, they often lack stability, reproducibility, and mechanical strength. Synthetic hydrogels, on the other hand, can have the advantage of tunable swelling and mechanical properties, as well as good reproducibility and lower costs. In this study, we investigated the swelling and mechanical properties of synthetic polyelectrolyte hydrogels. The resulting characteristics such as swelling degree, stiffness, stress, as well as stress-relaxation and cyclic loading behavior, were compared to a commercially available biomaterial, the ChondroFiller® liquid, which is already used to treat articular cartilage lesions. Worth mentioning are the observed good reproducibility and high mechanical strength of the synthetic hydrogels. We managed to synthesize hydrogels with a wide range of compressive moduli from 2.5 ± 0.1 to 1708.7 ± 67.7 kPa, which addresses the span of human articular cartilage.

description: The scientific community is devoting more attention to the wide scope of offshore wind turbine structures. Since such structures are subjected to high level of fatigue loads as well as a large number of load cycles caused by wind, waves and turbine operation, the fatigue performance of welded connections is usually a design driving criteria. In this paper, a brief review on experimental fatigue analysis of circular hollow section joints for jacket structures is presented. Special emphasis is given to full-scale experimental testing. In order to face some of the challenges in this area of expertise, an experimental research plan within the framework of the Innovative Training Network (ITN) AEOLUS4FUTURE is introduced, aiming to understand and validate the fatigue performance of circular hollow section joints produced by an automated process, using Tandem MIG/MAG welding.

description: Анемона корончатая (Anemone coronaria L.) – это многолетнее травянистое растение, относящееся к эфемероидам-геофитам. Родиной анемоны корончатой является западная часть Средиземноморья. При введении в культуру она сохраняет особенности ранневесеннего развития и последующего длительного покоя. Цель исследований – создание сортов анемоны корончатой, которые наиболее оптимально будут приспособлены к условиям произрастания во влажных субтропиках Черноморского побережья. Получение новых гибридных форм осуществлялось путём межсортовой гибридизации. В комбинациях скрещивания использовались сорта анемоны корончатой, находящиеся в коллекции ВНИИЦиСК зарубежной селекции. Общим оценочным показателем для отбираемых сортов является новая окраска венчика по сравнению с исходными формами или иное сочетание окрасок, длинный (более 25 см) устойчивый цветонос, диаметр цветка более 6,5 см, продуктивность цветения (количество цветков с одного клубня) – более 8 шт., а также устойчивость их к абио- и биотическим стресс-факторам. Коллекция института пополнена отечественными сортами анемоны корончатой. Девять сортов принадлежат к садовой группе De Caen:  'Свелена', 'Красная Шапочка', 'Синеглазка', 'Полина', 'Летняя ночь', 'Свирель', 'Весенний огонь',  'Даная',  'Заряница', остальные к группе St. Brigid: 'Фея', 'Эоланта', 'Лесной ручей' и 'Вдохновение'.

description: The attenuation length measuring device was constructed by using oscilloscope and LabVIEW for signal acquisition and processing. The performance of the device has been tested with a variety of ways, the test results show that the set-up has a good stability and high precision (sigma/mean reached 0.4 percent). Besides, the accuracy of the measurement system will decrease by about 17 percent if a filter is used. The attenuation length of gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator (Gd-LS) was measured as 15.10 plus or minus 0.35 m where Gd-LS was heavily used in Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment. In addition, one method based on the Beer-Lambert law was proposed to investigate the reliability of the measurement device, the R-square reached 0.9995. Moreover, three purification methods for Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) production were compared in the experiment.

description: Environmentally green synthesis of stable polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)-capped silver nanoparticles (PVP-AgNPs) was successfully carried out. The present study focused on investigating the influence of adding PVP during the synthesis process on the size, optical properties and antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles produced. An aqueous extract of Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves was used as a reducing agent. The effects of different PVP concentrations and reducing time on the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by UV–Vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and nano tracker analysis (NTA). The addition of PVP was studied. The prepared PVP-AgNPs were spherical with an average size of 13 nm. FTIR analysis confirmed that PVP protects AgNPs by a coordination bond between silver nanoparticles and both N and O of PVP. DLS results indicated the good dispersion of silver nanoparticles. PVP-AgNPs were found to be stable for nearly 5 months. Antibacterial studies through the agar well diffusion method confirmed that silver nanoparticles synthesized using PVP had no inhibitor activity toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as opposed to silver nanoparticles prepared without adding PVP, which showed a significant antibacterial activity towards some of the tested pathogens.

description: Measurements of the yields of hadronic resonances (relative to non-resonances) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions allow the chemical freeze-out temperature and the time between chemical and thermal freeze-out of the collision system to be studied, while modifications to resonance masses and widths could be a signature of chiral symmetry restoration. The spectra (for pT < 5 GeV/c), total integrated yields, ratios to non-resonances (phi/pi and phi/K), mass, and width of the phi(1020) meson and the uncorrected yields, mass, and width of the K*(892)0 and anti-K*(892)0 mesons have been measured using the ALICE detector for Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV. These measurements will be compared to results from other collision systems and energies. Angular correlations between leading trigger hadrons and phi(1020) mesons have been measured in Pb-Pb and pp collisions; the mass and width of the phi(1020) meson as a function of the correlation angle will be presented.

description: For the years 2001-2008, we use full-disk, SOHO/EIT 195 $Å$ calibrated images to determine latitudinal and day to day variations of the rotation rates of coronal holes. We estimate the weighted average of heliographic coordinates such as latitude and longitude from the central meridian on the observed solar disk. For different latitude zones between $40^{o}$ north - $40^{o}$ south, we compute rotation rates, and find that, irrespective of their area, number of days observed on the solar disk and latitudes, coronal holes rotate rigidly. Combined for all the latitude zones, we also find that coronal holes rotate rigidly during their evolution history. In addition, for all latitude zones, coronal holes follow a rigid body rotation law during their first appearance. Interestingly, average first rotation rate ($\sim 438 nHz$) of the coronal holes, computed from their first appearance on the solar disk, match with rotation rate of the solar interior only below the tachocline.

description: В настоящее время петуния занимает одно из ведущих мест по популярности среди летников, и с появлением новых групп и гибридов интерес к ней все увеличивается.
Петуния (Petunia) – это многолетнее или однолетнее, травянистое или полукустарниковое цветковое растение, которое относится к классу двудольные, порядку паслёноцветные, семейству паслёновые, роду петуния.
Ареал ее возделывания огромен – от тропиков до Заполярья и Аляски, ее посадки можно встретить на всех континентах, кроме разве что Антарктиды. Такая популярность петунии стала следствием и причиной того, что значительные усилия генетиков, ботаников и селекционеров всего мира направлены на создание всё новых сортов, гибридов и садовых групп петуний. Каждая из этих групп по-своему привлекательна и занимает определенное место в озеленении.
Петуния не выращивается как комнатный цветок, но лучшего растения для наружного украшения окон и балконов трудно найти. Таким образом, исследование биологических и декоративных качеств сортов петунии гибридной является особенно актуальным, ведь она играет важную роль в озеленении Ставропольского края.

description: Additional file 10: Supplementary Figure S6. Reproducibility of alpha diversity between technical replicates. OTU/ASV richness was calculated for A) gut-16S, B) soil-16S, and C) soil-ITS datasets. Samples were rarefied to an equal number of reads per sample before calculating richness, and any samples whose replicate pair was removed after rarefaction (because of having lower number of reads than the rarefaction depth) were excluded from further analysis. LotuS1 results for soil-16S were removed due to too many samples being removed in rarefactions. Significance of differences in richness between the sets were calculated based on the paired samples Wilcoxon test (***, **, *, and “ns” denotes p<0.0005, p<0.005, p<0.05, and p> 0.05 (i.e., not significant), respectively).

description: In this paper we discuss the variety of planar spiral segments and their applications in objects in both the real and artificial world. The discussed curves with monotonic curvature function are well-known in geometric modelling and computer aided geometric design as fair curves, and they are very significant in aesthetic shape modelling. Fair curve segments are used for two-point G1 and G2 Hermite interpolation, as well as for generating aesthetic splines.

description: Nowadays, with respect to trend of Kyoto protocol, many producers turn to renewable energy resources. That leads to a fact that more than 75% of new power capacity installations in EU in the year 2015 are renewables. The leading among the new renewable energy resources is wind energy. In the last decades, even more wind energy is accommodated by moving offshore. That brings up a problem of more complicated design, which includes new loads to be investigated and modelled. For offshore wind turbines, dominant loads are wave and wind loads. For the substructure itself, the highest impacts have wave-induced loads, as it is submerged at most of its height. As the waves are stochastic and irregular loads, this paper investigates appropriate methods for modelling of the wave loads, in order to achieve a very realistic load model and results. This is only some of the numerous challenges in this area of expertise, which are more accurately investigated in a research plan within the framework of the Innovative Training Network (ITN) AEOLUS4FUTURE, related to reliability of offshore wind energy structures.
