title: Price determination model for full truckload operation under uncertainty

description: Pricing is one of the fundamental management decisions required by a truckload carrier. Traditional pricing based on an average all relevant costs including fixed and variable costs is not capable of providing adequate margins that prevent losses during operation uncertainties inherent in truckload operation including demand variability and variation in service times. Hence, the objective of this study is to develop price determination model for full truckload operation under uncertainty. The research framework consists of two parts, simulation model and pricing model development. A simulation model is developed to capture the stochastic patterns inherent in the operation of full truckload network. This study utilizes Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) as a measure of risk with significant advantage over Value at Risk (VaR), to full truckload pricing when conditions are unpredictable. The simulation and pricing model analyze results show that the company’s own trucks are given first priority for long-distance deliveries while outsourced trucks are reserved for short distance providing lower transportation cost and price. Pricing with 95% of VaR and 95% of CVaR is higher than traditional pricing. With different confident levels, pricing analysis results demonstrate that lower confidence levels conduct lower price in terms of price with VaR and CVaR. Moreover, increasing demand variation conducts higher full truckload pricing while reducing service time including waiting time, uploading and unloading time conducts lower price. The numerical analysis result from this study demonstrates a pricing method is suitable for transportation carriers who are risk averse. Transportation carriers in this group dislike risk and will stay away from high risk

title: The Development of Thai violence risk scale for persons with schizophrenia

description: To develop an instrument for assessing violence risk among Thai persons with schizophrenia in the community, the Thai violence risk scale (TVRS). The characteristics and circumstances associating with violence among persons with schizophrenia in the community were selected based on literature review and the Psychology of Criminal Conduct theory. Ten steps of scale development procedures by Crocker and Algina (1986) were used. The TVRS, a 17-item, was an alternate choice, yes-no question for the face-to-face interview instrument. Its construct validity was examined by both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Findings from the EFA (varimax rotation, n = 300) showed that the TVRS was composed of 2 factors. Factor I was the characteristics (15 items) and factor II was the circumstances (2 items). The second order CFA (n = 604) provided the goodness of fit indices illustrating that the violence risk model fitted with the empirical data. These findings supported the construct validity of the TVRS. Predictive validity of the TVRS was studied in 128 persons with schizophrenia in the community. Its AUC was .88 (p

title: Computer-mediated simulation test as a diagnostic tool in assessing communicative ability of tour guide trainees

description: To (1) diagnose the tour guides trainees’ communicative ability by using the computer-mediated simulation tour guide trainee test (CMS-TG Test), (2) identify the strengths and weaknesses of the tour guide trainees, (3) find out the test taking strategies of the tour guide trainees, and (4) to study their reflections towards the CMS-TG test. The population in this study included 160 tour guide trainees from the Academic Offices of Silpakorn University. They had the Test of International Communication (TOEIC) scores. Using the randomly stratified technique, the 30 sample tour guide trainees were classified into 3 groups: high, mid and low based on their TOEIC scores. There were ten in each group. The research instruments included (1) the Computer-Mediated Simulation Tour Guide Trainee Test, (2) the TOEIC Test, (3) Verbal Protocols, and (4) Structured Interviews. This study employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research findings showed that the test could diagnose the tour guide trainees’ communicative abilities into three groups: the high, mid and low groups obtaining 94%, 71.09%, and 51.91% respectively. The strengths of the high group were shown in their language competencies and content knowledge while the mid and low groups shared obvious weaknesses in language and communication abilities. Moreover, the three different ability groups employed different test taking strategies. Finally, the CMS-TG Test was perceived as a beneficial instrument in assessing tour guide trainees’ communicative ability.

title: Characterization of a novel amylomaltase from corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032

description: To search for a novel amylomaltase and to identify residue involved in formation of cyclic oligosaccharide product. The amylomaltase gene from Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) using the expression vector pET-19b. The ORF of amylomaltase gene, including His-tag sequence was 2,190 base pairs. The deduced amino acid sequence showed only 28-45% similarity with reported amylomaltases. The enzyme was purified by HisTrap FFTM column. The size was 84 kDa and the conditions for optimal catalysis were at pH 6.0 and 30 ºC. The large-ring cyclodextrin (LR-CDs) products were from CD19 up. After purification, removal of his-tag residues resulted in total loss of enzyme activity. The amylomaltase clone was reconstructed using pET-17b. The enzyme was expressed and purified by DEAE FFTM and Phenyl FFTM columns. The basic characters obtained were similar to the enzyme with his-tag. The recombinant plasmid was then used as a template for site-directed mutagenesis at Tyr-172. Both wild-type and mutated enzyme, Y172A, had the same physical characteristics. The Y172A mutant showed lower disproportionation, cyclization and hydrolytic activity than the wild-type enzyme. In disproportionation reaction with maltotriose, kinetic parameters were determined. The Km were 19.6 and 12.9 mM and kcat were 9,374 and 2,165 min-1 in the wild-type and Y172A enzyme, respectively. When the cyclization products were investigated, the smallest LR-CD was CD19 from both enzymes and the product profile was dependent on the incubation time and the enzyme concentration. Shorter incubation time gave larger LR-CDs as principal products. Interestingly, the wild-type enzyme showed different product pattern from that of Y172A mutant. This might be due to higher transglucosylation and hydrolytic activity of the wild-type enzyme. These results suggested that Tyr-172 should be involved in determining LR-CDs product profile.

title: Characterization of NA⁺-ATPase and its role in salinity tolerance of a halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanohece halophytica

description: ATPase was purified from Aphanothece halophytica membrane vesicles with a 17.5–fold purification with 6.5% yield. The purified enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of Na+. The apparent K[subscript m] values for Na⁺ and ATP were 2.0 and 1.2 mM, respectively. The enzyme is likely the F-type ATPase based on the usual subunit pattern from SDS-PAGE and inhibitors study. The purified enzyme reconstituted into liposomes functions as an electrogenic Na⁺ pump which transports Na⁺ upon hydrolysis of ATP and then a secondary event, Na+- and ATP-dependent H⁺ efflux from proteoliposomes, is driven by the electric potential generated by Na⁺-stimulated ATPase.A putative F-type Na⁺-atp operon coding for Na+-ATP synthase (Na⁺-ATPase) from A. halophytica was isolated. The operon consists of nine genes which encode putative subunits , , I, hypothetical protein, a, c, b, , and . The expression plasmid (pTrcHis2C-ApNa⁺-atp) was constructed and transformed into E. coli mutant DK8 (atp) deficient in ATP synthase. The inverted membrane vesicles from ApNa⁺-ATPase-expressing E. coli DK8 cells exhibited Na⁺-dependent ATP hydrolysis activity, which was inhibited by the sodium gradient dissipator monensin and the F-type ATPase inhibitor tributyltin chloride, but not by the protonophore, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP). The Na⁺ ion protected the inhibition of ApNa⁺-ATPase by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). The ATP synthesis activity was also observed using the Na⁺-loaded inverted membrane vesicles from ApNa⁺-ATPase-expressing E. coli DK8 cells. Expression of ApNa+-atp operon in a heterologous cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 showed its localization in the cytoplasmic membrane fractions and increased tolerance to salt stress. These results indicate that A. halophytica has additional F-type Na⁺-dependent ATPase playing a potential role of salt-stress tolerance.

title: External validation of the ETV success score in 313 pediatric patients

description: The ETVSS has developed by Kulkarni et al in order to predict the clinical response following ETV based on age, previous shunt and cause of hydrocephalus in a pediatric population and has been validated in several studies across North America, Europe and the United Kingdon. Despite this fact, none validation had made in Latin America yet. The purpose was assess the ETVSS in a Brazilian pediatric population for his external validation. This Data shows all patients underwent endoscopic third ventriculostomy(ETV) performed from 1996 to 2016 in a single Brazilian institution. The ETV success score was retrospectively calculated based on age, etiology of hydrocephalus and previous shunt. Each patient data consists of identification, year of surgery, gender, age, etiology of hydrocephalus, previous central nervous system infection, previous shunt, the ETVSS prediction, kind of ETV ( Basically if it primary or secondary or redo( All redo were excluded), if other procedure was performed simultaneously ( In this case were excluded choroid plexus cauterization), intraoperative complications, postoperative complications and if the ETV was successful after six and one year after. The software application used to analyze the data was SPSS V20, Minitab 16, Excel Office 2010. A confidence level of 95% was considered. To evaluate the ETVSS in this population, the score was calculated for each patient. The predicted success rate from ETVSS was then compared with the actual success rate of ETVSS at 6 months and one year. The ROC curve was used to assess the discriminative properties of score. A result superior to 0,7 is usually satisfactory for a clinical prediction rule. The two-proportion equality test(chi-square) was used to compare the success rates among covariates age, etiology and previous shunt. Differences were considered significant at p&lt;0,005. There were 179 boys and 134 girls ( p&lt;0,001). Almost half of the patients, 152 (48,5%) were younger than two years old and only 63(20,1%) were 10 years or older at the time of surgery. The most commom etiologies were aqueductal stenosis (45%), non-tectal brain tumors (20,8%) and myelomeningocele (15,3%). Previous shunt were seen in 34,18% of infants. The overall success rate of ETV was 73,2% after six months and 65,2% over one year. In patients with obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to aqueduct stenosis, success was 83,6% in the first six months and 76,6% at one year. The covariates Etiology and previous shunt placement were able in discriminate success and failure during the all follow-up period. Conversely, we didn’t observe difference in the overall actual ETV success among the several groups of ages in the first six months. Were observed a discrepancy between the actual success rate and the predicted by ETVSS. In which, the tendency was underestimated the actual success in six months and one year. Furthermore, the ETVSS was able in discriminate the failure and success in both times.

title: HRV as an Index of Impulse Control in Dogs: Experiment 2

description: In this experiment, dogs were either cued to lie-down in front of a brick for 10 minutes (Interesting condition) or to lie-down in front of a brick (Uninteresting condition) while their cardiac activity was measured. Each test session consisted of three phases. First, the dog was placed in the car cage and a 20 min baseline measurement was collected. After this baseline measurement, the dogs were taken out of the car and led to a place in which they had to lie down in front of either a toy (i.e., Interesting condition) or a brick (Uninteresting condition) for 10 minutes. After the experimental phase, another measurement was taken in the car cage in order to measure cardiac activity during recovery. De dataset shows the data for every individual in every phase and condition. IBI’s were exported as text files with the Polar® software Polar Protrainer 5, and artifacts in the data were visually detected and deleted with the ARTiiFACT software (Version 2.09; Kaufmann, Sütterlin, Schulz, & Vögele, 2011). In accordance with the literature, five minutes of each phase were used to calculate HRV. Of the baseline phase, the last five minutes were analyzed. This allowed us to eliminate the stress-effects of beginning the experiment and of putting the polar strap around the chest of the dog. Of these five minutes, the last 30 seconds were removed to account for approaching the car and opening the trunk during that timeframe. Of the manipulation and recovery phase, the middle five minutes were analyzed in order to eliminate noise in the data caused by the handler’s presence when leaving or approaching the dog at the beginning and end.

title: HRV as an Index of Impulse Control in Dogs: Experiment 1

description: In this experiment, dogs were either cued to lie-down and stay for 10 minutes (Impulse Control condition) or to enter a cage and stay there for the same duration (Kenneled condition) while their cardiac activity was measured. Each test session consisted of three phases. First, the dog was placed in the car cage and a 10 min baseline measurement was collected. Second, the dog was either cued by its handler to enter the experimental cage (Kenneled condition) or to lie-down and stay (Impulse Control condition) next to the experimental cage, whereupon the handler closed the cage and walked away from view. In both conditions, the dog had to stay for 10 minutes, while the handler was inconspicuously watching the dog from behind a window. In this way, the handler could see when the dog broke the stay and could immediately cue the dog from a distance to lie down again. Third, the dog was placed back into the car cage for a 10 min recovery baseline measurement. This dataset shows the (cardiac) data for each individual in each condition and phase. The Polar® software Polar Protrainer 5 was used to export the IBI’s as text files. Artifacts were replaced by linear interpolation of the means of the two neighboring data points. In accordance with the literature, five minutes of each phase were used to calculate HRV. Of the baseline phase, the last five minutes were analyzed. This allowed us to eliminate the stress-effects of beginning the experiment and of putting the polar strap around the chest of the dog. Of these five minutes, the last 30 seconds were removed to account for approaching the car and opening the trunk during that timeframe. Of the manipulation and recovery phase, the middle five minutes were analyzed in order to eliminate noise in the data caused by the handler’s presence when leaving or approaching the dog at the beginning and end.

title: Scoring Casteism: Interview Guide and Score Card (Filled Forms

description: The conversational interviews conducted with 59 political workers in Mirpurkhas division were analysed to assess the prevalence, normativity and rationalization of casteism. The verbal indicators that I focused upon to assign the score to each tendency were related to see if the political worker: a) Mentions caste as the social identity, considers it superior/inferior, assigns class, traces genealogical roots, and considers Sayeds superior or Dalits inferior. b) Explains formation of electorates and the local politics in terms of caste affiliations. c) Relates his or her caste in terms of political ideology/party agenda. d) Considers caste as a politically relevant/irrelevant identity/Wants to eradicate or sustain caste system. e) Holds religious views (shrine worship, Sayedism, Sufism etc.) along with the affirmation or the denial of casteism. f) Is intimate with or committed to a Sayed/Pir/Sufi. g) Believes/disbelieves in hereditary politics/ in the power of person/caste/family. Interview Guid and Score Card Note: The form constains pseudonyms of most (if not all) the activists to ensure anonymity. Therefore, any real nomenclatural resembalance should not be taken as personal. The socres were not calculated during the conversations,but later after having listened the recorded conversations.
