description: As more media features are incessantly developed by social media companies, it is beneficial both theoretically and practically to understand their effects on user experience. Among different media features, audiovisual effects are highly focused by the social media companies and yet to receive more scholarly attention. As such, situated in the context of videoblogging (also known as “vlogging”) on YouTube, this dissertation aimed to understand how the media feature (i.e., audiovisual effects) would play a role in individual processing, and how the media feature would interact with a common content feature (i.e., narrative) in contributing to viewers’ engagement and message endorsement. With the help of Message Interpretation Process (MIP) model, study 1 adopted survey approach and examined how the presence of audiovisual effects served as a contingent factor that amplified the individual processing in resulting in positive perception pertinent to message endorsement (i.e., perceived message credibility) for different gender groups. Upon verifying that audiovisual effects would indeed contribute to viewers’ experience, study 2 further brought the investigation closer to an ecological real-life setting, capturing how audiovisual effects acted in parallel with a common content feature (i.e., narrative) in influencing viewers’ experience. With this, study 2 set the context to influenza vaccination promotion on videoblog (as known as “vlog”), and it adopted an experimental approach to examine the concurrent effects of the media feature (i.e., audiovisual effects) and the content feature (i.e., narrative) on vlog in influencing user engagement and self-efficacy which is pertaining to message endorsement. Participants of the two studies were recruited from Mechanical Turk. Results of study 1 highlighted the imposing roles of the MIP variables (i.e., perceived desirability and wishful identification) in facilitating positive perception, and the strength of the associations was amplified in the presence of audiovisual effects when viewers and videobloggers (also known as “vloggers”) were of the same gender. Informed by study 1 that gender of the vloggers and the viewers matter, study 2 curated an experiment in which the gender effects were controlled. Results of study 2 suggested that the audiovisual effects were in general helpful for both narrative and non-narrative conditions in facilitating user engagement. Whereas for message endorsement, matching of construal levels of the content feature and the media feature was needed. The study indicated that user engagement does not necessarily equate with endorsement, and strategic message designs should fit the goals of the messages for better user experience.

description: Tris(3-hydroxypropyl)phosphine (THPP) was shown to be a more powerful reductant than tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), but its oxidation kinetics and mechanisms were scarcely investigated. The reduction of single electron oxidant [IrCl6]2− by THPP was thus investigated comparatively and shown to follow overall second-order kinetics. The established logk′ versus pH profiles for THPP and TCEP were different, where k′ is the observed second-order rate constant. THPP was oxidized to (HOCH2CH2CH2)3PO, confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy, which is in line with the determined stoichiometry. On the other hand, the proposed reaction mechanism is similar to that suggested for the TCEP reaction. The reactivity of THPP was derived, enabling a reactivity comparison with TCEP at physiological pH. Surprisingly, the measured activation parameters for the reduction of [IrCl6]2− by P(CH2CH2CH2OH)3 and P(CH2CH2CO2−)3 were essentially identical, providing information on the transition state and on the electron transfer mode. This work also defines the pKa value of THPP under well-defined conditions (pKa = 6.97 ± 0.05 at 25.0 °C and 1.0 M ionic strength) as derived by the kinetic approach.

description: Combining different sensing modalities with multiple positions helps form a unified perception and understanding of complex situations such as human behavior. Hence, human activity recognition (HAR) benefits from combining redundant and complementary information (Unimodal/Multimodal). Even so, it is not an easy task. It requires a multidisciplinary approach, including expertise in sensor technologies, signal processing, data fusion algorithms, and domain-specific knowledge. This Ph.D. work employs sensing modalities such as inertial, pressure (audio and atmospheric pressure), and textile capacitive sensing for HAR. The scenarios explored are gesture and hand position tracking, facial and head pattern recognition, and body posture and gesture recognition. The selected wearable devices and sensing modalities are fully integrated with machine learning-based algorithms, some of which are implemented in the embedded device, on the edge, and tested in real-time.

description: The interaction of dibutyltin(IV) dichloride (DBT) with 1,4-diazacycloheptane (homopiperazine, HP) was investigated. In solutions, the complexes formed a 1:1 complex, its protonated and hydrolyzed forms. The formation constants of the complexes and thermodynamic parameters as ΔH° and ΔS° were estimated. The optimization of the structure of the (Bu)2Sn(HP)Cl2 complex reveals that the tin is six-coordinate in a distorted octahedral geometry, where the two nitrogen atoms of homopiperazine and the two chloride ions are in one plane. The solid (Bu)2Sn(HP)Cl2 complex with homopiperazine was synthesized, and the composition was assigned by elemental micro-analysis and mass spectrum. The complex was investigated by infrared, mass spectra, and thermal measurements. The ligand and its complex were tested against antimicrobial Staphylococcus aureus (+ve), Escherichia coli (−ve), and antifungal Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. Anticancer activities of homopiperazine and its dibutyltin(IV) complex were tested against breast cancer cell lines. The molecular docking investigations were performed to know the possible modes of binding to the most active sites of the breast cancer oxidoreductase receptor and those of Escherichia coli.

description: The kinetics of the substitution reactions between  bifunctional Au(III) complexes, [AuCl2(bipy)]+, [AuCl2(dach)]+ and [AuCl2(en)]+ (bipy = 2,2″-bipyridine, dach = (1 R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, en = ethylenediamine), with biologically relevant ligands such as glutathione (GSH), L-methionine (L-Met) and L-cysteine (L-Cys) is determined. All kinetic studies are performed in 25 mM Hepes buffer (pH = 7.2) in the presence of NaCl (25 mM) to prevent hydrolysis of the complexes. The reactions were followed under pseudo-first-order conditions using stopped-flow UV–Vis spectrophotometry at determined working wavelengths at three different temperatures (288.2, 298.1, and 309.8 K). DFT theoretical approach was applied to calculate thermodynamic and kinetic parameters that determined an operative mechanism of substitution reactions for all complexes and L-Cys as a selected model substituent. The obtained kinetic data showed that all complexes have similar reactivity; [AuCl2(bipy)]+ is the most reactive while [AuCl2(en)]+ is the least reactive. The second step of the substitution reaction is much faster than the first. The reactivity of the studied nucleophiles decreases in order L-Met > L-Cys > GSH. According to the values of the activation parameters determined experimentally and theoretically, all substitutions follow an associative model.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The usual assumption for stock-recruitment (S-R) modelling is that the pattern of variability follows a log-normal distribution. However, particular data sets may show different patterns of variability and other distributions may be preferred for specific stocks. A particular choice of error distribution will, in general, necessitate careful and detailed analysis. A potentially less restrictive approach to modelling could be to base the modelling process of fisheries S-R data on a broad class of mean-variance relationships, without direct specification of an underlying error distribution. Various functional forms have been proposed for the S-R relationship but commonly the Ricker, Cushing, Beverton & Holt and Shepherd models are considered. These models can be reformulated as generalized linear models (GLMs) and routinely fitted within commercial statistical software, allowing model-checking to be performed and diagnostics to be investigated. Additional random components may be incorporated into the models and a class of hierarchical GLMs (HGLMs) created which combines the attractive theory of a conjugate prior with the concept of a linear predictor. Alternatively, GLMs can be reformulated as dynamic linear models (DLMs) which further allow the incorporation of less restrictive prior beliefs and the inclusion of expert information.

description: Eight new ruthenium complexes (C1, C2 (Ru-benzene or Ru-toluene complexes with L1, 3-amino-2-chloropyridine); C3, C4 (Ru-benzene or Ru-toluene complexes with L2, 2-amino-5-chloropyridine); C5, C6 (Ru-benzene or Ru-toluene complexes with L3, 3-acetylpyridine); and C7, C8 (Ru-benzene or Ru-toluene complexes with L4, 4-acetylpyridine) were synthesized. The chemical structures and purity of the compounds were confirmed using standard analytical methods such as 1H,13C NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis, and their electrochemical behavior was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry experiments. The stability of the compounds in dimethyl sulfoxide solution was confirmed using 1H NMR spectroscopy. Finally, the antimicrobial potential of two complex precursors (CP1, [Ru(η6-benzene)Cl(μ-Cl)]2 and CP2, [Ru(η6-toluene)Cl(μ-Cl)]2), four ligands (L1–L4), and eight corresponding complexes (C1–C8) was screened against nine pathogenic microorganisms and two reference bacterial strains using the micro-well dilution method. The highest antibacterial activity (0.63 mg/mL) was for C5 against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella enteritidis, while C8 displayed more pronounced antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans (MIC/MMC = 0.31 mg/mL). Subsequently, the studied complexes underwent a detailed examination utilizing the DFT methodology, acquiring important quantum-chemical descriptors. Notably, the HOMO-LUMO gap was established as a significant correlate with the antimicrobial activity of synthesized compounds.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The effects of parameter uncertainty and structural uncertainty on the overall uncertainty estimates of fisheries management decisions are demonstrated with simple examples. The analysis is carried out by Bayesian influence diagrams. In a case that there is uncertainty regarding the underlying model, there is a need to combine the probability distributions of alternative models. In this type of analysis the uncertainty estimate of a single model does not have as remarkable effect on the final uncertainty estimates as has the weight ( or probability) given for different models. A good example is the choice of recruitment model to be applied in fisheries simulations where the estimation of model probabilities is bound to be partly subjective. In a risk averse management the inclusion of several models to the final uncertainty estimation means that the subjective estimates of the scientists will have a direct impact on the exploitation levels, i.e. on the total allowable catches and incomes of fishermen.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The investigation of stock-recruitment (S-R) relationships can result in functional models that are appealing when depicted in 2-dimensions as the level of recruitment versus spawning stock biomass. Translation of a functional S-R model to the third dimension of time may produce an estimated sequence of recruitment that bears little resemblance to the time series of recruitment used to estimate the 2-dimensional functional S-R model. This difference may result from mis-specification of modelling assumptions that may not have taken due account of temporal effects. By considering recruitment data for plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) in the North Sea, an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model is developed to represent the recruitment process. The classical time series ARMA models can be reformulated as dynamic linear models (DLMs) which allow the incorporation of prior beliefs and expert information. The connection between the classical and Bayesian models is explored and the fundamental principles used by a Bayesian forecaster in structuring forecasting problems through dynamic models are briefly discussed.

description: In forensic contexts, understanding of the complicated relationships between level of force, type of knife blade, and dimensions of incisions remains limited. The purpose of this research was to explore how incisions on pig rib bones vary depending on the type of knife blade and quantity of perpendicular force inflicted. A cutting rig (designed to position a bone, knife, and weights) facilitated the creation of incisions on fleshed rib bones (n = 59), defleshed rib bones (n = 77), and synthetic materials (n = 36). Five different masses of weights (measuring 4381, 8861, 13515, 18267, and 23343 g) were applied to four knife blades (two serrated and two non-serrated blades), with each combination of variables repeated thrice. 3D digital microscopy was utilized to model and measure each incision. The two-way ANOVA found significant differences in depth and length between knife types and levels of force across all sample sets (p < 0.05), with greater perpendicular forces and serrated blades creating longer and deeper cuts. These findings demonstrate that there is a complex relationship between force, type of knife blade, and the related dimensions of incisions.

description: Abstract

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe mucocutaneous reaction marked by extensive epidermal sloughing and necrosis that is frequently brought on by drugs or infections. It starts with flu-like symptoms and progresses to a red or purplish rash that spreads and blisters. Mucous membranes are compromised, especially those in the mouth and genitals, resulting in sagging blisters and skin peeling. SJS is characterized according to the body surface area involved, with varied fatality rates: SJS (ten percent), SJS overlap/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) (10-30 percent), and severe TEN (>30 percent). In Europe and America, the incidence is believed to be 1-6 instances per million persons each year, with males having a higher prevalence. The mortality rate in SJS ranges from 5-12% to more than 30% in severe TEN. Early detection, cessation of suspected drugs, and hospitalization are all critical. The evolution of symptoms, early treatment attempts, and referral to specialized care are all described in a case history. Although no prior identical sickness or drug sensitivities were noted, the patient has diabetes that is under control. The family background is unimpressive. The clinical presentation, medication history, and suitable investigations are used to make a diagnosis. Laboratory abnormalities such as renal failure and elevated inflammatory markers are possible.

description: The three point correlation function of color charge densities is evaluated explicitly in light cone gauge for a proton on the light cone. This includes both $C$-conjugation even and odd contributions. We account for perturbative corrections to the three-quark light cone wave function due to the emission of an internal gluon which is not required to be soft. We verify the Ward identity as well as the cancellation of UV divergences in the sum of all diagrams so that the correlator is independent of the renormalization scale. It does, however, exhibit the well known soft and collinear singularities. The expressions derived here provide the $C$-odd contribution to the initial conditions for high-energy evolution of the dipole scattering amplitude to small $x$. Finally, we also present a numerical model estimate of the impact parameter dependence of quantum color charge three-point correlations in the proton at moderately small $x$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Baltic Sea salmon have suffered reproduction difficulties in recent years, due to high larval mortality (the M74 syndrome). Records from two salmon hatcheries indicate that M74 did not occur or was infrequent before the 1970s. We examined whether differences in feeding areas and timing of the spawning migration could help in explaining the variation in M7 4 frequencies among salmon stocks from different rivers. The disease was found in salmon populations with a feeding migration limited to the Gulf of Bothnia, in others that mainly feed in the Gulf of Finland as well as in populations feeding almost exclusively in the Baltic Proper. This indicates that the agent(s) causing M74 is present in all these areas. However, the M74 frequency varied considerably among different populations, with the highest incidence among salmon from the northern Gulf of Bothnia. Latvian salmon from the River Daugava have not shown signs of M74, even though Baltic salmon populations from most other areas were severely affected. This population is primarily feeding in the eastern part of the Baltic proper and seems to enter the Gulf of Riga later during the spawning run. It has a later spawning run and feeds later in the summer than other populations examined. It is suggested that this may help in avoiding M74.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The M74 mortality has existed at different levels in the offspring of feral Baltic salmon spawners; between populations, and even within the same population the share of females producing M7 4 offspring varies \lidely. According to the tag recovery data the main feeding areas in the Baltic Proper are located in the surroundings of the Bomholm Deep and Gotland Deep, but salmon also feed in the Bothnian Sea and Gulf of Finland. The distribution of the salmon feeding in these areas varies between populations but also between individuals belonging to the same population. The size of salmon smolt entering the sea varies between 12 and 20 cm within a population when dealing with wild populations and between 14 and 25 cm within hatchery-reared smolt. The length of wild smolt has been, on average 16cm during the 1990s while hatchery-reared smolt have been about 20 cm in the Gulf of Bothnia area. Availability of a suitable size of feed and /or post-smolt size at least partly determine the number of migrating salmon post-smolt stopping to feed in the Bothnian Sea instead of migrating to the Baltic Proper. Herring-based feed available in the Bothnian Sea compared to sprat-based feed in the Baltic Proper leads to the hypothesis that the Bothnian Sea as a feeding ground induces M74. In those years, when an increased abundance of feeding salmon were detected in that area by tag recovery and catch statistic data, increased M74 offspring mortality was observed in the following spawning. Climate-related changes in the hydrography and food webs of salmon have also been considered. The hypothesis is that the quality of feed (abundance of thiamine) available varies in the different feeding grounds in the Baltic Sea and thus affects salmon reproduction .

description: This work provides proof of the concept that high silicide loading nuclear fuel meat surrogates with complicated geometries can be produced with uniform density through an application of cold isostatic pressing (CIP). Dispersion fuels with high volumetric loading of U3Si2 have challenges in fabrication. Experimental work was undertaken using MoSi2 and WSi2 surrogates to explore the feasibility of reducing or eliminating the issues through the application of CIP in the powder compaction step. The composites were prepared at approximately 42 vol% silicide, which was representative of 4.8 grams of uranium per cubic centimeter of fuel plus matrix (gU/cc) and formed via CIP at 344.7 MPa (50 KSI). In order to provide the proof of concept, the density of a CIP surrogate fuel was examined for uniformity but cutting it into 9 approximately equal portions and measuring each portion’s bulk density individually using ASTM Standard B963. The surrogate fuel was found to have a standard deviation in density of 0.01345 g/cc. The CIP mold design was iterated to reduce defects and increase precision. Then the precision achieved was examined by 3D surface imagining. The metal powders used were characterized in terms of particle size by ASTM Standard B214 and their morphology was examined by scanning election microscopy. The interaction of the metal powder particles after CIP were examined by optical microscopy.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A new procedure for ageing staged eggs of fish species that show synchronous spawning is presented. The procedure combines the available biological information on the daily frequency of spawning and egg development rates. A probability density function (pdf) of the spawning time is constructed using information from ovary studies of the target species, and an initial distribution of the egg ages is estimated from the staged eggs using a temperature-dependent growth model. Final age estimates are obtained by iteratively applying a rejection method to samples from the initial distribution of ages, with the rejection criterion based on the probability of an egg being spawned at a certain time 'ts, given by the evaluation of the pdf of the spawning time at time = 'ts. When enough information for constructing an adequate pdf of the spawning time is not available, a prior distribution of spawning time that reflects the actual beliefs can be used instead. The results indicate that the ages obtained with this method are similar to those obtained using previous ageing procedures, but the new ages reflect the observed distribution of the spawning times more accurately. This new method also allows the uncertainty in the stage-to-age conversion to be incorporated into subsequent analyses that involve age as a covariate.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In recent years, Baltic Sea salmon (Salmo salar) have suffered reproduction difficulties, due to high mortality during the larval phase (the M74 disease). Analyses oflong term mortality records (1928-98) from two salmon hatcheries indicate that M74 did not occur or was infrequent before the 1970s. The disease can be cured by thiamine treatment and this indicates that the mortality results from a thiamine deficiency. The frequency of M74 is strongly correlated to the abundance of sprat (Sprattus sprattus (L.)) and it has been suggested that M74 results from changes in the food web. To study the possible role of diet changes in relation to M74, we have compared stomach content in salmon collected 1959-62 and 1994-97. Sprat, herring (Clupea harengus L.) and threespined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) dominated the diet in both periods. The average size of consumed sprat and herring was significant smaller in the 1994-97 compared to 1959-62. The results.also indicate that herring, and to some extent also threespined stickleback, has increased in the diet of salmon. This suggests that sprat constituted a smaller part of the salmon diet in 1994-97. It is thus difficult to explain the M74 with its positive correlation to the sprat population alone. The ultimate cause ofM74 and the thiamine deficiency is not known, but our hypothesis is still that it is related to foodweb changes. Possible causes includes: changes in thiamine or thiaminase content in forage fish (related to the decreased size of these fish in the diet or their decreased growth/condition), increased growth rate and winter-feeding of salmon and general changes in thiamine synthesis in the Baltic Sea (potentially influenced by eutrophication).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Assessment of the quality of the marine environment forms an important part of the new 1992 OSP AR Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North­East Atlantic that was ratified and entered into force on 25 March 1998. In the ministerial statement at the signing of the Convention it was agreed that the first assessment (Quality Status Report, QSR) for all Convention waters should be produced for the year 2000. To oversee this charge a new Environmental Assessment and Monitoring Committee (ASMO) was established and a junior group under this committee, to implement necessary actions, the Assessment Co-ordination Group (ACG). Because of the wide geographical diversity and varying levels of information available in different parts of the Convention area it was decided to produce five regional reports for: I The Arctic; II The North Sea; III The Celtic seas; IV The Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast; V The Wider Atlantic, which will be synthesised in a holistic QSR for the year 2000. The report for the North Sea will largely be an update of QSR 1993 and forms the third cycle of a developing management system for the North Sea. This paper will present the procedures that have been adopted to implement the QSRs, and outlines the guidelines that have been developed for their structure, format, design and publication.

description: A combined K-Ar and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological study of the Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range, Nevada, a Cordilleran metamorphic core complex, has revealed a complex tectonothermal history. The three structural subdivisions of the core complex (migmatitic core, mylonitic zone, and cover) share magmatic and deformational histories in part, but also display important contrasts in structural style, metamorphic paragenesis, and thermal history. During the Late Jurassic (ca 160 Ma), miogeoclinal rocks were polyphase-deformed, metamorphosed under amphibolite facies conditions, and pervasively intruded by peraluminous granitic magmas, thereby forming an igneous and metamorphic complex. Late Jurassic muscovite granite porphyry plugs also intruded unmetamorphosed cover rocks. Late Cretaceous cooling of the igneous and metamorphic complex is locally suggested by poorly resolved Cretaceous incremental-release 40Ar/39Ar hornblende spectra and by U-Pb monazite ages from pelitic schist exposed in the northern Ruby Mountains. Between ca 45 Ma and 20 Ma, the igneous and metamorphic rocks experienced an episode of complex extensional tectonism which involved the development of low-angle, normal-sense, simple shear zones. As a result, rocks metamorphosed at depth in the Mesozoic were translated to higher crustal levels which resulted in cooling through temperatures required for the intracrystalline retention of argon within minerals. Near concordance of hornblende and biotite plateau ages from the migmatitic core of the complex suggest relatively rapid exhumation. However, it is not certain if this cooling followed a prolonged maintenance at elevated temperatures after the ca 160 Ma metamorphism or if distinct, locally superposed late Mesozoic and/or middle Tertiary thermal overprints had affected the cooling history. A major extensional simple shear zone is marked by an approximately 1-kilometer-thick mylonite zone that experienced late kinematic, superposed brittle deformation. A geometric consequence of the development of low-angle extensional fault zones is the eventual translation of colder rocks over hotter rocks. Such a history is supported by the 40Ar/39Ar data. For example, mylonitic mafic orthogneisses from a major allochthon record 40Ar/39Ar hornblende plateau ages between 44 and 48 Ma and biotite plateau ages between 32 and 33 Ma, and are structurally positioned above mylonitic rocks of the northern Ruby Mountains which record biotite cooling ages of ca 22–24 Ma. Such relations suggest either multiple episodes of Tertiary mylonitization or a protracted, multiphase history of mylonitization. However, after ca 20 Ma, all of the presently exposed mylonitic rocks were maintained below 100°C and have only experienced upper crustal brittle deformation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In 1995 and 1997 the respective releases of one summer old Atlantic salmon into Gowienica River reached 9000 and 4500 individuals. The respective average weight of released fish was 0.28 g and 1.0 g. In 1996-1999, some 15 km below the releasing site, a river net pound was used to catch migrating salmon smolts. Out of the fish released in 1995 there were caught 202 smolts, which constituted 2.2 % of recoveries. Length of smolts varied from 13 cm to 24 cm. Out of the second releasing in 1997 there caught 390 smolts, which constituted 8.7 % of recoveries; length of smelts varied from 11 cm to 23 cm.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Most Baltic salmon populations are affected by the M74 syndrome, a disease which causes high mortality among newly hatched fry. In the early 1990s, mortality rates increased to 50- 90% in salmon populations from the Gulf ofBothnia. In contrast, the Latvian salmon populations were unaffected by the disease. The disease has been linked to the feeding ecology of sea-run fish and and is correlated to low thiamine (Vitamin BI) levels in spawning females. It thus seems likely that Latvian salmon spawners have higher thiamine levels than salmon from the Gulf ofBothnia. This study was carried out to compare thiamine levels during different periods of the spawning run in salmon from the Gulf of Bothnia and Latvia and examine how the thiamine levels were related to differences in ecology among populations. Thiamine levels in muscle and in gonads of salmon from the Gulf of Botnia decreased in the course of the spawning run, but this was not the case with Latvian salmon. This may depend on that Latvian salmon seem to feed later in the summer than other populations. If their food is rich in thiamine in this period, this may explain why they have higher thiamine levels than salmon from the Gulf ofBothnia and therefore do not suffer from M74.
