  Hábitat de Lagria
  No existen observaciones sistemáticas sobre el hábitat de las diversas especies de Lagria.
  Nuestro colega Pablo Bercedo, de la Universidad de León, nos comunica datos interesantes (no publicados): en Vegas del Condado, L. puncticollis ha sido recolectada mangueando entre un campo de cultivo y una zona de bosque de ribera, con vegetación de Salix, Populus y Fraxinus, siendo las plantas más abudantes en la zona Litrum, Hypericum, Lysimachia, Filipendula, Epilobium, Lotus, Stachys y Rumex, en una zona con bastante humedad debido a canales de riego. Seġn Javier Pérez Valcárcel (com. pers.) las Lagria capturadas en A Coruña aparecen casi anualmente en las paredes de las casas del casco urbano, sin que hasta el momento haya podido encontrarlas sobre planta alguna. Los adultos de Lagria hirta frecuentan en Suecia las moras de Rubus idaeus, colectándose en Suecia en zonas abiertas con predominancia de helechos y en bosques de coníferas.
  Lagria limbata ha sido observada en espino majuelo (Crataegus monogyna), al borde de un robledal. Lagria rugosula ha sido capturada sobre flores de Cistus ladanifer (jara), en Santa María del Condado, seġn datos de J.L. Torres Méndez (com. pers.).

description: There is limited evidence regarding the potential risk of untargeted iron supplementation, especially among individuals who are iron-replete or have genetic hemoglobinopathies. Excess iron exposure can increase the production of reactive oxygen species, which can lead to cellular damage. We evaluated the effect of daily oral supplementation on relative leukocyte telomere length (rLTL) and blood mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in non-pregnant Cambodian women (18–45 years) who received 60 mg of elemental iron as ferrous sulfate (n = 190) or a placebo (n = 186) for 12 weeks. Buffy coat rLTL and mtDNA content were quantified by monochrome multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Generalized linear mixed-effects models were used to predict the absolute and percent change in rLTL and mtDNA content after 12 weeks. Iron supplementation was not associated with an absolute or percent change in rLTL after 12 weeks compared with placebo (ß-coefficient: −0.04 [95% CI: −0.16, 0.08]; p = 0.50 and ß-coefficient: −0.96 [95% CI: −2.69, 0.77]; p = 0.28, respectively). However, iron supplementation was associated with a smaller absolute and percent increase in mtDNA content after 12 weeks compared with placebo (ß-coefficient: −11 [95% CI: −20, −2]; p = 0.02 and ß-coefficient: −11 [95% CI: −20, −1]; p= 0.02, respectively). Thus, daily oral iron supplementation for 12 weeks was associated with altered mitochondrial homeostasis in our study sample. More research is needed to understand the risk of iron exposure and the biological consequences of altered mitochondrial homeostasis in order to inform the safety of the current global supplementation policy.
Points-to and Side-effect Analyses for Programs Built with Precompiled Libraries

description: Large programs are typically built from separate modules. Traditional whole-program analysis cannot be used in the context of such modular development. In this paper we consider analysis for programs that combine client modules with precompiled library modules. We define separate analyses that allow library modules and client modules to be analyzed separately from each other. Our target analyses are Andersen's points-to analysis and a side-effect analysis based on it. We perform separate points-to and side-effect analyses of a library module by using worst-case assumptions about the rest of the program. We also show how to construct summary information about a library module and how to use it for separate analysis of client modules. We present empirical results showing that the separate points-to analyses are practical even for large modules, and that the cost of constructing and storing library summaries is low. Our work is a step toward incorporating practical points-to and side-effect analyses in realistic compilers and software productivity tools.

description: Climate change is altering habitats for marine fishes and invertebrates, but the net effect of these changes on potential food production is unknown. We used temperature-dependent population models to measure the influence of warming on the productivity of 235 populations of 124 species in 38 ecoregions. Some populations responded significantly positively (n = 9 populations) and others responded significantly negatively (n = 19 populations) to warming, with the direction and magnitude of the response explained by ecoregion, taxonomy, life history, and exploitation history. Hindcasts indicate that the maximum sustainable yield of the evaluated populations decreased by 4.1% from 1930 to 2010, with five ecoregions experiencing losses of 15 to 35%. Outcomes of fisheries management—including long-term food provisioning—will be improved by accounting for changing productivity in a warmer ocean.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel self-healing approach for a computer system based on Back-Doors (BD), a system architecture that allows monitoring and repair actions to be performed on a remote operating system or application image without using remote CPU cycles. The key ingredient of the Back-Door architecture is the Remote Memory Communication (RMC) technology provided by standards like Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) or InfiniBand, specifically its support for remote DMA read and write operations. In this paper, we discuss the potential and challenges of the Back-Door approach to self-healing, and describe a preliminary prototype we developed as proof of concept.

description: Counterparty credit risk (CCR) is the risk of loss that will be incurred in the event of default by a counterparty. Counterparty credit risk is measured by credit exposure. Monte Carlo simulation is used to predict credit exposure distributions at predefined future dates (credit node). Exposure is determined by sampling results from the exposure distributions based upon the required confidence interval.

description: A guide to a subset of materials in the William Elliot Griffis Collection, Special Collections and Archives, Rutgers University Libraries, New Brunswick, New Jersey on Korean history and culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
description: William Elliot Griffis, an accomplished teacher, author, scholar, and theologian, was one of the first thousand Americans to enter Meiji Japan. Born in 1843, he fought for the Union during the Civil War. Griffis graduated from Rutgers College in 1869, and shortly thereafter traveled to Japan to teach natural sciences and help organize education in provincial Echizen (later named Fukui), as part of the Japanese government’s broad Westernization/modernization project. Griffis remained in Japan for some three years between 1871 and 1874. Upon returning to the United States, he became one of the foremost Western authorities on American-Japanese relations. His work The Mikado’s Empire was the leading publication on Japan in the U.S. for several decades. Griffis was an avid reader and collector on all subjects that concerned the Far East, including Japan, China and Korea. Although Griffis did not travel to Korea until 1927, he was knowledgeable about the country’s culture and politics. He published several books, including Corea: The Hermit Nation, Corea, Within and Without, A Modern Pioneer in Korea, Korean Fairy Tales, and The Unmannerly Tiger and Other Korean Tales, in addition to many newspaper and magazine articles on Korea. He also collected a wealth of other articles, manuscripts, photographs and artifacts relating to Korea between 1874 and his death in 1928.
description: The William Elliot Griffis collection presents a unique opportunity to researchers, as the dates fall into the era of transition between the end of the Yi Dynasty (1392–1910) and the colonial stewardship by Japan (1910–1945). The late nineteenth century inaugurated the first wave of Western interest in the history of Korea. Griffis became an important interpreter of Korea to the West during this early period, as well as a collector of Korean materials. The Griffis collection includes books and articles on the removal of Queen Min, the Korean Independence movement, and numerous resources on Korea under Japanese rule. The Griffis collection is home to valuable resources that appeared before the Japanese takeover, and to many Western assessments of the Korean situation at that time. The Griffis collection also houses many photographs and articles from the late Yi period, which will prove valuable for research on traditional Korea.

description: Code comments provide abundant information that have been lever-aged to help perform various software engineering tasks, such as bug detection, specification inference, and code synthesis. However,developers are less motivated to write and update comments, making it infeasible and error-prone to leverage comments to facilitate software engineering tasks. In this paper, we propose to leverage program analysis to systematically derive, refine, and propagate comments. For example, by propagation via program analysis, comments can be passed on to code entities that are not commented such that code bugs can be detected leveraging the propagated comments. Developers usually comment on different aspects of code elements like methods, and use comments to describe various contents, such as functionalities and properties. To more effectively utilize comments, a fine-grained and elaborated taxonomy of comments and a reliable classifier to automatically categorize a comment are needed. In this paper, we build a comprehensive taxonomy and propose using program analysis to propagate comments. We develop a prototype CPC, and evaluate it on 5 projects.The evaluation results demonstrate 41573 new comments can be derived by propagation from other code locations with 88% accuracy. Among them, we can derive precise functional comments for 87 native methods that have neither existing comments nor source code. Leveraging the propagated comments, we detect 37 new bugs in open source large projects, 30 of which have been confirmed and fixed by developers, and 304 defects in existing comments (by looking at inconsistencies between existing and propagated comments),including 12 incomplete comments and 292 wrong comments. This demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach. Our user study confirms propagated comments align well with existing comments in terms of quality.

Evaluation of reliability and validity of a community needs assessment instrument for nursing homes in the Taiwan area
Creators: name: Chen, Shu-li
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Needs Assessment

description: Several studies have been done that identify an insufficient number of nursing homes as a major problem in the Taiwan area. However, no previous studies have investigated exactly what kind of service is needed and would actually be used, nor have any research instruments been designed to measure perception of need or use. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation research was to establish reliability and validation of a community needs assessment instrument, called Perception Evaluation Tool (PET). A psychometric evaluation study with cross-sectional longitudinal sampling techniques using a mailed questionnaire was conducted. A randomly selected sample of 168 community individuals and 151 key community informants who resided in the 10 survey towns was included in the study. The results generated from these participants have demonstrated the stability reliability, the internal consistency reliability, the convergent validity, and the discriminant validity of the PET. In conclusion, the final 67-item self-report PET is a reliable and valid instrument which can be used to assess the perceptions of need for nursing homes from general community individuals and key community informants in either suburban or rural communities in the Taiwan area.

description: The long-tail problem presents a significant challenge to the advancement of semantic segmentation in ultra-high-resolution (UHR) satellite imagery. While previous efforts in UHR semantic segmentation have largely focused on multi-branch network architectures that emphasize multi-scale feature extraction and fusion, they have often overlooked the importance of addressing the long-tail issue. In contrast to prior UHR methods that focused on independent feature extraction, we emphasize data augmentation and multimodal feature fusion to alleviate the long-tail problem. In this paper, we introduce SRMF, a novel framework for semantic segmentation in UHR satellite imagery. Our approach addresses the long-tail class distribution by incorporating a multi-scale cropping technique alongside a data augmentation strategy based on semantic reordering and resampling. To further enhance model performance, we propose a multimodal fusion-based general representation knowledge injection method, which, for the first time, fuses text and visual features without the need for individual region text descriptions, extracting more robust features. Extensive experiments on the URUR, GID, and FBP datasets demonstrate that our method improves mIoU by 3.33\%, 0.66\%, and 0.98\%, respectively, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

description: Intermittent treatment schedules have been proposed to improve the tolerance of drugs for cancer chemoprevention. However, determining a maximum tolerated dose, and the extent of the improvement, has been challenging experimentally and clinically. In order to determine the quantitative advantage of intermittent pulse treatment schedules for the chemoprevention of colon cancer we have used a computer model of human colon crypts calibrated with measurements of human biopsy specimens. In simulations, crypts were treated with an agent that increases the probability that cells, both normal and mutant, would be removed at the top of the crypt. Sulindac, which increases apoptosis at the lumen surface, is such an agent. The effect of intermittent pulse drug treatment schedules were compared with constant drug treatment schedules. Crypts treated with intermittent pulse schedules have three times the maximum tolerated dose than crypts treated with constant schedules, and have a 10 year delay in the appearance of adenomas. Intermittent treatment schedules have previously been proposed for chemoprevention. Here computer simulations have quantified the effect on human colon crypts of intermittent treatment schedules and constant treatment schedules of a chemotherapeutic drug. Intermittent pulses have an advantage, they allow an increased maximum tolerated dose, and result in an increased chemoprevention by delay.
Exploring growth enhancing rhizospheric microorganisms for silviculture of Eucalyptus pellita

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this research was to identify local microbes from Sarawak soil capable of promoting plant growth to reduce the use of chemical fertilizer by introducing biofertilizer to the silviculture of Eucaplyptus pellita. The costly chemical fertilizer brings harms to the environment if used extensively for long period. In order to reduce the use of chemical fertilizer, biofertilizer that contains the beneficial natural microbes associated to the plants were isolated and incorporated into the formula of the fertilizer. The results from this research has shown that the local microbes found could potentially reduce the use of chemical fertilizer as they yield similar results with lower usage of chemical fertilizer.

description: • Purpose: Identity is often used in wine territory narratives but its meaning is rarely explored with industry actors. This paper presents the development and application of a four-step iterative process for engaging an industry in a complex and deep reflection about its shared identity: understanding identity; identifying commonalities and differences; developing a shared narrative; sharing best practice. • Design/methodology/approach: We have engaged with over 50 wineries between 2016 and 2018 on the identity of the British Columbia wine territory through workshops, interviews, and other conversations. Complementary methods include documentary review and observations. • Findings: Our work shows the applicability of the four-step process. Success depends on building relationships with and across the industry; creating independent, safe learning environments, and facilitation by an independent party; allowing for feedback between the steps, continuous reflection, and reiteration of steps; making the time for complexity. • Originality/value: The paper presents a unique process for an industry to explore the identity of a wine territory. It focuses on British Columbia, about which little has been written. Through the process, industry can better understand identity, what it is, why it matters, and how it impacts businesses. The paper’s insights can inspire researchers and industries in their thinking and practice about identity.

Newsmaking criminology: o papel dos intelectuais na construção de um novo discurso sobre o crime nos media

description: Os resultados de diferentes pesquisas sobre as relações entre crime e media em várias partes do mundo ocidental têm em comum alguns pontos fundamentais: as notícias costumam sobrerrepresentar os crimes de rua, difundir os estereótipos do criminoso e da vítima, dedicar amplo espaço às fontes oficiais, etc. Dessa constatação, a conclusão principal é a de que os media legitimam a atuação seletiva e estigmatizante do sistema penal, justificando as desigualdades sociais e possibilitando a sua reprodução. Para fazer frente a esse processo, busca-se, neste trabalho, expor uma proposta de ação por parte dos intelectuais para interferir nos importantes debates travados sobre o tema nos media. São aplicados os pressupostos gramscianos sobre o papel dos intelectuais ao tema do sistema penal, evidenciando- -se a potencialidade emancipatória dos media.

description: The locality of reference in program behavior has been studied and modeled extensively because of its application to memory design, code optimization, multiprogramming etc. We propose a k-order Markov chain based scheme to model the sequence of time intervals between successive references to the same address in memory during program execution. Each unique address in a program is modeled separately. To validate our model, which we call the Interference Gap (IRG) model, we show substantial improvements in three different areas where it is applied. (1) We improve upon the miss ratio for the Least Recently Used (LRU) memory replacement algorithm by up to 37%. (2) We achieve up to 22% space-time product improvement over the Working Set (WS) algorithm for dynamic memory management. (3) A new trace compression technique is proposed which compresses up to 2.5% with zero error in WS simulations and up to 3.7% error in the LRU simulations. All these results are obtained experimentally, via trace-driven simulations over a wide range of cache traces, page reference traces, object traces and database traces.

Modular Verification of Communicating Sequential Processes
Creators: name: Akkoyunlu, E. A.
name: Nemes, Richard M.
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1984

description: The semantics of communication in a distributed computing environment without shared objects are investigated from the viewpoint of modularity and hierarchical system structure. Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP), Hoare's language for parallel programming, is modified and expanded to support process modularity and hierarchical structure using a port construction. A formal axiomatic 'verification methodology for partial correctness is developed that extends the Hoare axiomatic proof methodology for sequential (nonparallel) programs to CSP-like programs, without resort to global invariants. Hierarchical structure and modularity are fully supported within the proof system. Processes are verified against an abstract entity, the interface, thereby achieving a formal notion of process specification and plug-compatibility. Alongside maintenance to a system is maintenance to its correctness proof, the two evolving side by side in an isomorphic fashion. The formalism is broadened further to include shared ports by the introduction of a universal assertion termed Kirchhoff's Law. Several examples are provided that demonstrate the methodology, including a modular proof of the generic single-entry, multiple-user CSP subroutine process.
How Taras Ševčenko Was Initially Received in Italy and France
Creators: name: Lami, Giulia
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2016

description: The article analyzes when and how the figure and the poetry of Taras Ševčenko were presented in Italy and in France during the second half of the 19th century. The first serious contribution to the knowledge of Ševčenko’s œuvre was made in Italy by Mixail Drahomanov: under the pseudonym “Ukraino”, he wrote in 1873, on the pages of Angelo De Gubernatis’ “Rivista europea” (1869-1876). Drahomanov’s rich and long essay on the “Ruthenian” literary movement assessed the conception of Little-Russia/Ukraine in order to help the Italian public to understand the complexity of the Eastern Slavic world. In France, apparently, Ševčenko’s name was known as early as 1862, but an appreciable evaluation took place only at the end of the 1870s. A primary role was played by the liberal-conservative “Revue des deux mondes”, where Émile Durand published, notwithstanding some resistance from the editor, a very serious and inspired article on Ševčenko’s life and works, thanks to the general interest in the Slavic world and its cultural and political developments shown by the French journal. All the authors dealing with Ukrainian culture in general and with Ševčenko in particular expressed the hope that knowledge about them could grow in the future: unfortunately, this did not happen in any appreciable measure and even now Ukraine and its major poet are little known in Western countries.

description: This document summarizes the work done in the OIKONET project to disseminate the project outcomes in exhibitions taking place at the partner organizations and elsewhere. A total of 20 exhibitions organized by 10 OIKONET partners were displayed during the project lifetime. The contents of the exhibitions encompass student works carried out in the joint pedagogical activities (learning spaces, workshops) and research work conducted at the partner organizations. Most of the posters produced for these exhibitions were dedicated to displaying the work carried out during the pedagogical activities. Some of the exhibitions have been replicated at different locations. In particular, the work produced in the Lisbon Workshop –in the preparatory activities and during in workshop itself- has been displayed at various institutions, as well as external partner organizations.

The posters presented at the different exhibitions are available on the Sharepoint file sharing system for partners to use them in later exhibitions. They can also be facilitated to third parties upon request. A selection of these posters is collated in the Appendix.
Humanoid educational service robots in primary classrooms: design-based strategies for pre-implementation planning
Creators: name: Naznin, Kaberi
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study explores the potential use of humanoid robots in primary schools. Classroom settings are complex, and future use of educational service robots will need to take this into account. This thesis makes timely suggestions about planning to use robots in education, in particular by engaging teachers in pre-implementation design. Based on teachers' input, a learning activity was developed for the purpose of evaluating a humanoid robot's capacity to enhance primary school students’ computational practice. The study contributes to the field of education technology implementation by demonstrating how curricular and pedagogical implications can be extrapolated early in the design process.
Intelligent Automated Quality Control for Computational Simulation
Creators: name: Gelsey, Andrew
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1994

description: Computational simulation of physical systems generally requires human experts to set up a simulation, run it, evaluate the quality of the simulation output, and repeatedly invoke the simulator with modified input until a satisfactory output quality is achieved. This reliance on human experts makes use of simulators by other programs difficult and unreliable, though invocation of simulators by other programs is critical for important tasks such as automated engineering design optimization. I present a framework for constructing intelligent controllers for computational simulators which can automatically detect a wide variety of problems which lead to low-quality simulation output, using a set of evaluation methods based on knowledge of physics and numerical analysis stored in a data/knowledge base of models and simulations. I describe an experimental implementation of this framework in an intelligent automated controller for a widely used computational fluid dynamics simulator.

description: Soil water content and matric potential are central hydrological state variables. A large variety of automated probes and sensor systems for state monitoring exist and are frequently applied. Most applications solely rely on the calibration by the manufacturers. Until now, there has been no commonly agreed-upon calibration procedure. Moreover, several opinions about the capabilities and reliabilities of specific sensing methods or sensor systems exist and compete. A consortium of several institutions conducted a comparison study of currently available sensor systems for soil water content and matric potential under field conditions. All probes were installed at 0.2â€ mâ€ b.s. (metres below surface), following best-practice procedures. We present the set-up and the recorded data of 58 probes of 15 different systems measuring soil moisture and 50 further probes of 14 different systems for matric potential. We briefly discuss the limited coherence of the measurements in a cross-correlation analysis. The measuring campaign was conducted during the growing period of 2016. The monitoring data, results from pedophysical analyses of the soil and laboratory reference measurements for calibration are published in Jackisch et al. © Author(s) 2020

description: Background: Opioid analgesics are frequently initiated for chronic and acute pain despite weak evidence of benefit, although prescribing rates of some analgesics decreased in the context of the epidemic. In some populations, up to a quarter of opioid naïve persons prescribed opioids for noncancer pain develop prescription opioid use disorder (OUD). Audit and feedback interventions rely on constructive use of routinely collected data to align professional behaviours and clinical practice with best evidence. These interventions have been shown to help reduce inappropriate initiation. However, effectiveness and acceptability of individualized “portraits” of physicians’ prescribing patterns, to reduce inappropriate initiation of opioid analgesics to opioid naïve persons, have not been evaluated. Methods: REDONNA is a mixed-methods randomized study testing the effectiveness of individualized prescribing Portraits to reduce inappropriate initiation of opioid analgesics. This intervention to improve safety of opioid prescribing in primary care in British Columbia (BC), Canada involves mailing individual prescribing portraits to an ‘early group’ of 2604 family physicians, followed in six months by a mailing to 2553 family physicians in the ‘delayed group’. Primary outcome is number of new opioid prescriptions initiated in opioid naïve people, measured using administrative data from a centralized medication monitoring database covering all prescription opioids dispensed from BC community pharmacies. Secondary endpoints will compare prescribing impact between the two groups. A qualitative sub-study will examine feasibility among a purposive sample of physicians and patients. Discussion: This trial provides important evidence on the intervention’s potential to steer policy and practice on inappropriate opioid analgesics initiation.
Three-dimensional, quantitative in vitro assays of wound healing behavior
Creators: name: Shreiber, David I.
name: Tranquillo, Robert T.
Publisher: name: Elsevier Inc
Year: 2006

description: This chapter describes several assays that allow quantitative evaluation of fundamental aspects of cell behavior involved in the wound healing response in controlled environments with improved physiological relevance. Collagen gels are prepared by neutralizing stock type I collagen solution and raising the temperature to facilitate self-assembly of monomeric collagen into fibrils and forming an entangled network of fibrils with interstitial medium. Disrupting forming gels can affect structural and rheological properties that are important for cell behavior assays. Take care when handling the gels during and after formation. The key is to maintain tight control over cell populations and the cell density used in the assays, as cell behavior can vary widely from passage to passage, and cell density dramatically affects the potential for cell–cell signaling, which, if not accounted for, can cloud results. For each cell, using standard image analysis packages, draw a line segment representing the prevailing orientation of the cell.

description: Objective: This paper examines how formerly homeless adults with serious mental illness living in Housing First (HF) and “treatment first” (TF) supportive housing programs experience employment. Research questions include: How do these individuals experience employment in the context of their mental health recovery? What do they perceive as the benefits of and obstacles to attaining employment? Are there programmatic differences in their employment experiences? Methods: Case study analyses of data from a federally-funded qualitative study were conducted of 40 individuals purposively sampled from a HF and a TF program. Data were independently analyzed and consensually discussed to develop cross-case themes.Results: Three themes emerged: 1) the meaning of work, 2) working within the system, and 3) balancing treatment requirements and work. While none of the study participants had full-time jobs, more HF program clients had part-time employment than their TF counterparts. Of the 12 employed participants, all but two worked within their respective programs. Participants in both groups described similar benefits of obtaining employment but TF program requirements inhibited job-seeking. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: These findings provide insight into the challenges of obtaining employment for formerly homeless individuals with serious mental illness residing in supportive housing. Despite the motivation to work, individual, structural, and organizational factors impeded employment. To address this problem, factors at each of these levels will need to be considered. Interventions such as supported employment (SE) offer promise to supportive housing programs committed to employment as a contributor to recovery
