description: Abstract Background Consumer-wearable activity trackers are electronic devices used for monitoring fitness- and other health-related metrics. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the evidence for validity and reliability of popular consumer-wearable activity trackers (Fitbit and Jawbone) and their ability to estimate steps, distance, physical activity, energy expenditure, and sleep. Methods Searches included only full-length English language studies published in PubMed, Embase, SPORTDiscus, and Google Scholar through July 31, 2015. Two people reviewed and abstracted each included study. Results In total, 22 studies were included in the review (20 on adults, 2 on youth). For laboratory-based studies using step counting or accelerometer steps, the correlation with tracker-assessed steps was high for both Fitbit and Jawbone (Pearson or intraclass correlation coefficients (CC) > =0.80). Only one study assessed distance for the Fitbit, finding an over-estimate at slower speeds and under-estimate at faster speeds. Two field-based studies compared accelerometry-assessed physical activity to the trackers, with one study finding higher correlation (Spearman CC 0.86, Fitbit) while another study found a wide range in correlation (intraclass CC 0.36–0.70, Fitbit and Jawbone). Using several different comparison measures (indirect and direct calorimetry, accelerometry, self-report), energy expenditure was more often under-estimated by either tracker. Total sleep time and sleep efficiency were over-estimated and wake after sleep onset was under-estimated comparing metrics from polysomnography to either tracker using a normal mode setting. No studies of intradevice reliability were found. Interdevice reliability was reported on seven studies using the Fitbit, but none for the Jawbone. Walking- and running-based Fitbit trials indicated consistently high interdevice reliability for steps (Pearson and intraclass CC 0.76–1.00), distance (intraclass CC 0.90–0.99), and energy expenditure (Pearson and intraclass CC 0.71–0.97). When wearing two Fitbits while sleeping, consistency between the devices was high. Conclusion This systematic review indicated higher validity of steps, few studies on distance and physical activity, and lower validity for energy expenditure and sleep. The evidence reviewed indicated high interdevice reliability for steps, distance, energy expenditure, and sleep for certain Fitbit models. As new activity trackers and features are introduced to the market, documentation of the measurement properties can guide their use in research settings.

description: We develop a simple analytical model that tracks galactic metallicities governed by star formation and feedback to gain insight from the observed galaxy stellar mass-metallicity relations over a large range of stellar masses and redshifts. The model reveals the following implications of star formation and feedback processes in galaxy formation. First, the observed metallicity relations provide a stringent upper limit for the averaged outflow mass-loading factors of local galaxies, which is ~20 for M_*~10^9Msun galaxies and monotonically decreases to ~1 for M_*~10^{11}Msun galaxies. Second, the inferred upper-limit for the outflow mass-loading factor sensitively depends on whether the outflow is metal-enriched with respect to the ISM metallicity. If half of the metals ejected from SNe leave the galaxy in metal-enriched winds, the outflow mass-loading factor for galaxies at any mass can barely be higher than ~10, which puts strong constraints on galaxy formation models. Third, the relatively lower stellar-phase to gas-phase metallicity ratio for lower-mass galaxies indicate that low-mass galaxies are still rapidly enriching their metallicities in recent times, while high-mass galaxies are more settled, which seems to show a downsizing effect in the metallicity evolution of galaxies. The analysis presented in the paper demonstrates the importance of accurate measurements of galaxy metallicities and the cold gas fraction of galaxies at different redshifts for constraining star formation and feedback processes, and demonstrates the power of these relations in constraining the physics of galaxy formation.

description: Η έρευνα εστιάστηκε στο νοτιοδυτικό τμήμα της Μυκόνου, το οποίο μέχρι σήμερα
παρουσιάζει την μεγαλύτερη ανάπτυξη. Μέσα από την μελέτη βιβλιογραφικών πηγών και χαρτών παρουσιάζεται η ιστορική εξέλιξη του νησιού με έμφαση στο διάστημα από τα τέλη του 19ου, οπότε εμφανίστηκαν οι πρώτοι επισκέπτες, έως σήμερα. Αναλύονται ανά δεκαετία οι εποχές της απαρχής του τουρισμού στη Μύκονο και της έξαρσής του, και των μεγάλων έργων και επενδύσεων για την ικανοποίηση των αναγκών που προέκυπταν. Γίνεται αναφορά στους παράγοντες που έπαιξαν σημαντικό ρόλο στην τουριστική ανάπτυξη του τόπου, όπως το παλιό αλλά και το νέο λιμάνι και το αεροδρόμιο, οι πρώτες ξενοδοχειακές μονάδες, καθώς και στο πως επηρεάστηκε τόσο το αστικό και φυσικό τοπίο του νησιού
όσο και η ζωή των κατοίκων. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται μια εκτενής καταγραφή των περιοχών του νοτιοδυτικού τμήματος που παρουσιάζουν τη μεγαλύτερη ανάπτυξη, καταλήγοντας στη σημερινή παρακμάζουσα εικόνα του τοπίου του νησιού. Τέλος, γίνεται μια εξέταση της διαχρονικής εξέλιξης της χωρικής ανάπτυξης των υποδομών τουρισμού μέσα από συγκριτικές φωτογραφίες από χαρακτηριστικά σημεία του νησιού, τραβηγμένες με απόσταση μερικών δεκαετιών. Συμπερασματικά, γίνεται μια προσπάθεια απάντησης των ερωτημάτων που
τέθηκαν κατά την έρευνα, με σκοπό να διευκρινιστούν οι παράγοντες που επηρέασαν την τόσο έντονη τουριστική ανάπτυξη της Μυκόνου, τα στοιχεία που την επέτρεψαν και να δοθεί μια τυπολογία της πολεοδομικής ανάπτυξης λόγω τουρισμού.
description: The research focused on the south-western part of Mykonos, which has been the most developed area to date. Through the study of bibliographical sources and maps, the historical development of the island is presented with emphasis on the period from the end of the 19th century, when the first visitors appeared, until today. It analyses, decade by decade, the times of the beginning of tourism in Mykonos and its expansion, and the major projects and investments to meet the needs that arose. Reference is made to the factors that played an important role in the development of tourism in the area, such as the old and the new port
and the airport, the first hotel units, as well as how both the urban and natural landscape of the island and the life of its inhabitants were affected. Then there is an extensive survey of the most developed areas of the southwestern part of the island, resulting in the current decaying landscape of the island. Finally, an examination of the evolution of the spatial development of tourism infrastructure over time is made through comparative photographs of characteristic points of the island, taken from a distance of several decades. In conclusion, an attempt is made to answer the questions posed during the research, in order to clarify
the factors that influenced the intense tourist development of Mykonos, the elements that allowed it and to give a typology of urban development due to tourism.

description: Timing and carrier synchronization is a fundamental requirement for any wireless communication system to work properly. Timing synchronization is the process by which a receiver node determines the correct instants of time at which to sample the incoming signal. Carrier synchronization is the process by which a receiver adapts the frequency and phase of its local carrier oscillator with those of the received signal. In this paper, we survey the literature over the last five years (2010-2014) and present a comprehensive literature review and classification of the recent research progress in achieving timing and carrier synchronization in single-input-single-output (SISO), multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO), cooperative relaying, and multiuser/multicell interference networks. Considering both single-carrier and multi-carrier communication systems, we survey and categorise the timing and carrier synchronization techniques proposed for the different communication systems focusing on the system model assumptions for synchronization, the synchronization challenges, and the state-of-the-art synchronization solutions and their limitations. Finally, we envision some future research directions.

Asymmetry between galaxies with clockwise handedness and counterclockwise handedness

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: While it is clear that spiral galaxies can have different handedness, galaxies with clockwise patterns are assumed to be symmetric in all of their other characteristics to galaxies with counterclockwise patterns. Here we use data from SDSS DR7 to show that photometric data can distinguish between clockwise and counterclockwise galaxies. Pattern recognition algorithms trained and tested using the photometric data of a clean manually crafted dataset of 13,440 spiral galaxies with z<0.25 can predict the handedness of a spiral galaxy in ~64% of the cases, significantly higher than mere chance accuracy of 50% (P<10^{-5}). Experiments with a different dataset of 10,281 automatically classified galaxies showed similar results of $~65% classification accuracy, suggesting that the observed asymmetry is consistent also in datasets annotated in a fully automatic process, and without human intervention. That shows that the photometric data collected by SDSS is sensitive to the handedness of the galaxy. Also, analysis of the number of galaxies classified as clockwise and counterclockwise by crowdsourcing shows that manual classification between spiral and elliptical galaxies can be affected by the handedness of the galaxy, and therefore galaxy morphology analyzed by citizen science campaigns might be biased by the galaxy handedness. Code and data used in the experiment are publicly available, and the experiment can be easily replicated.

description: Abstract Background In diabetes mellitus the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease is increased and represents an important independent mechanism by which heart disease is exacerbated. The pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy involves the enhanced activation of PPAR transcription factors, including PPARα, and to a lesser degree PPARβ and PPARγ1. How these transcription factors are regulated in the heart is largely unknown. Recent studies have described post-translational ubiquitination of PPARs as ways in which PPAR activity is inhibited in cancer. However, specific mechanisms in the heart have not previously been described. Recent studies have implicated the muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase muscle ring finger-2 (MuRF2) in inhibiting the nuclear transcription factor SRF. Initial studies of MuRF2−/− hearts revealed enhanced PPAR activity, leading to the hypothesis that MuRF2 regulates PPAR activity by post-translational ubiquitination. Methods MuRF2−/− mice were challenged with a 26-week 60% fat diet designed to simulate obesity-mediated insulin resistance and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Mice were followed by conscious echocardiography, blood glucose, tissue triglyceride, glycogen levels, immunoblot analysis of intracellular signaling, heart and skeletal muscle morphometrics, and PPARα, PPARβ, and PPARγ1-regulated mRNA expression. Results MuRF2 protein levels increase ~20% during the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy induced by high fat diet. Compared to littermate wildtype hearts, MuRF2−/− hearts exhibit an exaggerated diabetic cardiomyopathy, characterized by an early onset systolic dysfunction, larger left ventricular mass, and higher heart weight. MuRF2−/− hearts had significantly increased PPARα- and PPARγ1-regulated gene expression by RT-qPCR, consistent with MuRF2’s regulation of these transcription factors in vivo. Mechanistically, MuRF2 mono-ubiquitinated PPARα and PPARγ1 in vitro, consistent with its non-degradatory role in diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, increasing MuRF2:PPARγ1 (>5:1) beyond physiological levels drove poly-ubiquitin-mediated degradation of PPARγ1 in vitro, indicating large MuRF2 increases may lead to PPAR degradation if found in other disease states. Conclusions Mutations in MuRF2 have been described to contribute to the severity of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The present study suggests that the lack of MuRF2, as found in these patients, can result in an exaggerated diabetic cardiomyopathy. These studies also identify MuRF2 as the first ubiquitin ligase to regulate cardiac PPARα and PPARγ1 activities in vivo via post-translational modification without degradation.

description: A new accelerator complex, HIAF (the High Intensity Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility), has been approved in China. It is designed to provide intense primary and radioactive ion beams for research in high energy density physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics as well as other applications. In order to achieve a high intensity of up to 5e11 ppp 238U34+, the Compression Ring (CRing) needs to stack more than 5 bunches transferred from the Booster Ring (BRing). However, the normal bucket to bucket injection scheme can only achieve an intensity gain of 2, so an injection method, fixed barrier bucket (BB) supported by electron cooling, is proposed. To suppress the severe space charge effect during the stacking process, off-alignment is adopted in the cooler to control the transverse emittance. In this paper, simulation and optimization with the BETACOOL program are presented.

description: We present the largest homogeneous survey of $z>4.4$ damped Lyman-$α$ systems (DLAs) using the spectra of 163 QSOs that comprise the Giant Gemini GMOS (GGG) survey. With this survey we make the most precise high-redshift measurement of the cosmological mass density of neutral hydrogen, $Ω_{\rm HI}$. At such high redshift important systematic uncertainties in the identification of DLAs are produced by strong intergalactic medium absorption and QSO continuum placement. These can cause spurious DLA detections, result in real DLAs being missed, or bias the inferred DLA column density distribution. We correct for these effects using a combination of mock and higher-resolution spectra, and show that for the GGG DLA sample the uncertainties introduced are smaller than the statistical errors on $Ω_{\rm HI}$. We find $Ω_{\rm HI}=0.98^{+0.20}_{-0.18}\times10^{-3}$ at $\langle z\rangle=4.9$, assuming a 20% contribution from lower column density systems below the DLA threshold. By comparing to literature measurements at lower redshifts, we show that $Ω_{\rm HI}$ can be described by the functional form $Ω_{\rm HI}(z)\propto(1+z)^{0.4}$. This gradual decrease from $z=5$ to $0$ is consistent with the bulk of HI gas being a transitory phase fuelling star formation, which is continually replenished by more highly-ionized gas from the intergalactic medium, and from recycled galactic winds.

description: Abstract Background Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are engineered nanomaterials used for a variety of industrial and consumer products. Their high tensile strength, hydrophobicity, and semi-conductive properties have enabled many novel applications, increasing the possibility of accidental nanotube inhalation by either consumers or factory workers. While MWCNT inhalation has been previously shown to cause inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis at high doses, the susceptibility of differentiating bronchial epithelia to MWCNT exposure remains unexplored. In this study, we investigate the effect of MWCNT exposure on cilia development in a differentiating air-liquid interface (ALI) model. Primary bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) were isolated from human donors via bronchoscopy and treated with non-cytotoxic doses of MWCNTs in submerged culture for 24 h. Cultures were then allowed to differentiate in ALI for 28 days in the absence of further MWCNT exposure. At 28 days, mucociliary differentiation endpoints were assessed, including whole-mount immunofluorescent staining, histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis, gene expression, and cilia beating analysis. Results We found a reduction in the prevalence and beating of ciliated cells in MWCNT-treated cultures, which appeared to be caused by a disruption of cellular microtubules and cytoskeleton during ciliogenesis and basal body docking. Expression of gene markers of mucociliary differentiation, such as FOXJ1 and MUC5AC/B, were not affected by treatment. Colocalization of basal body marker CEP164 with γ-tubulin during days 1–3 of ciliogenesis, as well as abundance of basal bodies up to day 14, were attenuated by treatment with MWCNTs. Conclusions Our results suggest that a single exposure of bronchial cells to MWCNT during a vulnerable period before differentiation may impair their ability to develop into fully functional ciliated cells.

description: In the paper by Khomenko et al. [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{91}, 180504 (2015)] the authors, analyzing numerically the steady counterflowing helium in inhomogeneous channel flow, concluded that the production term $\mathcal{P}$ in the Vinen equation is proportional to $\left\vert \mathbf{V}_{ns}\right\vert ^{3}\mathcal{L}^{1/2}$ (where $\mathcal{L}$ is vortex line density and $\mathbf{V}_{ns}$ is the counterflow velocity). In present comment we demonstrated that the procedure, implemented by the authors includes a number of questionable steps, such as a decomposition of velocity of line and interpretation of the flux term. Additionally, the overall strategy - extracting information on the temporal behavior from the stationary solution also remains questionable. Because of that the method of determination of the explicit shape of Vinen equation is very sensitive to the listed elements, the final conclusion of the authors cannot be considered as unambiguous.

A Geoarchaeological Overview and Site Sensitivity Assessment for Travis Air Force Base, Solano County, California
Creators: name: Meyer, Jack
Year: 2017

description: Only one prehistoric archaeological site has been identified within Travis Air Force Base (TAFB), and a recent study has questioned whether the materials recovered there are, in fact, prehistoric artifacts rather than quarry materials brought to the base more recently (Scher 2017). In an effort to provide an overview for use in ongoing Native American consultation, Far Western Anthropological Research Group, Inc., under contract to TAFB, developed site sensitivity models for both surface and subsurface archaeological deposits on the base and outlying facilities managed by the base. The surface site sensitivity model uses a number of factors that have been found to correlate to the site distributions in Solano County and, more broadly, in central California. These include proximity to freshwater (and, in the case of TAFB, to Suisun Marsh), slope, and landform age. The modeling results indicate that surface site potential is “Highest” in about 8.8% (~467 acres) and “High” in about 48% (~2,530 acres) of the study area. In the remaining area, a little more than one-quarter (28.2%) has a “Moderate” potential to contain sites, and the remaining 15% (~811 acres) has a “Low” or “Lowest” potential. Two main areas of highest site potential occur within the main base area, one located along the former channel of Union Creek near the central part of the main runway, and the other located along the middle tributary of Union Creek, which is roughly bordered by Boyles Street to the east, Dixon Avenue to the west, Hanger Avenue to the north, and V Street to the south. Although buildings, roads, parking lots, and other structures now cover large portions of these areas, and it is likely that surface sites that may have been present prior to base development were destroyed during initial construction of the base, site remnants and intact deposits may be present in these areas. The buried site sensitivity model relies on proximity to water and the age of landforms, under the assumption that buried sites are likely to be located beneath younger landforms. The potential for buried sites is estimated to be “Low” to “Lowest” throughout the vast majority (~5,300 acres, or 99.7%) of the study area. The low potential primarily reflects the age of the surface landforms, which are mostly Pleistocene in age or older and therefore were deposited prior to human occupation of the region. In turn, fewer than 16 acres (0.3%) of the study area are estimated to have a “Moderate” or “High” buried site potential, and no “Highest”-potential zones were identified by the model. Thus, the potential for buried prehistoric sites appears to be restricted to very small portions of TAFB and the associated facilities.

Parental exposures to occupational asthmagens and risk of autism spectrum disorder in a Danish population-based case-control study
Creators: name: Singer, Alison B
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2017

description: Abstract Background Environmental exposures and immune conditions during pregnancy could influence development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in offspring. However, few studies have examined immune-triggering exposures in relation to ASD. We evaluated the association between parental workplace exposures to risk factors for asthma (“asthmagens”) and ASD. Methods We conducted a population-based case-control study in the Danish population using register linkage. Our study population consisted of 11,869 ASD cases and 48,046 controls born from 1993 through 2007. Cases were identified by ICD-10 codes in the Danish Psychiatric Central Register. ASD cases and controls were linked to parental Danish International Standard Classification of Occupations (DISCO-88) job codes. Parental occupational asthmagen exposure was estimated by linking DISCO-88 codes to an asthma-specific job-exposure matrix. Results Our maternal analyses included 6706 case mothers and 29,359 control mothers employed during the pregnancy period. We found a weak inverse association between ASD and any maternal occupational asthmagen exposure, adjusting for sociodemographic covariates (adjusted OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.86–0.99). In adjusted analyses, including 7647 cases and 31,947 controls with employed fathers, paternal occupational asthmagen exposure was not associated with ASD (adjusted OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.92–1.05). Conclusions We found a weak inverse association between maternal occupational asthmagen exposure and ASD, and a null association between paternal occupational exposure and ASD. We suggest that unmeasured confounding negatively biased the estimate, but that this unmeasured confounding is likely not strong enough to bring the effect above the null. Overall, our results were consistent with no positive association between parental asthmagen exposure and ASD in the children.

description: We measure the radii and two-dimensional light profiles of a large sample of young, massive star clusters in M83 using archival HST/WFC3 imaging of seven adjacent fields. We use GALFIT to fit the two-dimensional light profiles of the clusters, from which we find effective (half-light) radii, core radii, and slopes of the power-law (EFF) profile ($η$). We find lognormal distributions of effective radius and core radius, with medians of $\approx$2.5 pc and $\approx$1.3 pc, respectively. Our results provide strong evidence for a characteristic size of young, massive clusters. The average effective radius and core radius increase somewhat with cluster age. Little to no change in effective radius is observed with increasing galactocentric distance, except perhaps for clusters younger than 100 Myr. We find a shallow correlation between effective radius and mass for the full cluster sample, but a stronger correlation is present for clusters 200-300 Myr in age. Finally, the majority of the clusters are best fit by an EFF model with index $η\leq3.0$. There is no strong evidence for change in $η$ with cluster age, mass, or galactocentric distance. Our results suggest that clusters emerge from early evolution with similar radii and are not strongly affected by the tidal field of M83. Mass loss due to stellar evolution and/or GMC interactions appear to dominate cluster expansion in the age range we study.

description: Abstract
                Background
                Mental health issues in children have become a serious public health concern in the U.S. within the past few decades. Emerging evidence suggests that Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) can be beneficial for various mental health issues. However, little is known about the prevalence, reasons, and associated factors of CAM use among this population in the U.S. The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of CAM use among U.S. children with mental health issues.
                Methods
                Utilizing the 2012 National Health Interview Survey data, we used descriptive analysis, Wald F-statistics, and multivariable survey logistic regression models to examine the prevalence, patterns, and associated factors of CAM use in children aged 4–17 (n = 10,233) adjusting for the complex sampling design.
                Results
                CAM use is more popular among children with mental health issues compared with those without (19.2% vs. 10.1%, p < 0.001). Herbal remedies (9.1%), mind-body therapies (5.5%), and chiropractic care (5.3%) were the most frequently used modalities. Primary reasons for children to use CAM are because they are helpful (69.2%), natural (55.9%), and holistic (44.7%). The majority of CAM users perceived CAM therapies are helpful. Predictors of CAM use are children who are female, whose parents had a higher educational level and socioeconomic status, and who had at least one co-morbid medical condition. Only 18.4% of CAM usage was recommended by medical doctors.
                Conclusions
                Approximately 10 million parents of children with mental health issues reported the use of CAM therapies, mainly because of their desire for a more natural and holistic healthcare approach. Given that the majority of CAM users perceived CAM therapies as helpful, future studies should investigate the unique contributions of CAM in pediatric psychiatric care. Because a low percentage of CAM use was recommended by medical doctors, educational interventions designed to equip medical professionals with CAM knowledge and experience will be conducive to improving effective patient-physician communication in clinical settings. Since CAM use is reported as more prevalent by parents’ of children with higher education and family income, effective strategies designed to reduce disparities in accessing promising CAM therapies are warranted.
