Social media marketing and gambling: An interview study of gambling operators in Australia (2015)

Social media has become an established tool to engage and maintain customer loyalty. However, its successful use involves a balance between promotion, public relations and corporate social responsibility. Nineteen individuals working in the Australian gambling industry were interviewed. The aim was to explore how gambling operators are using social media to engage with users and promote products, their considerations underpinning these actions, and the extent to which responsible gambling practices are included. All operators were active on social media and used these platforms to attempt to increase customer engagement and strengthen existing relationships. Gambling-related content was usually balanced against non-gambling content, or operators focused exclusively on non-gambling content. Sales goals or raising revenue were not direct aims of social media use. Operators sought to use social media as an indirect way to maintain their customer base and attract new customers via favourable ratings and information transfer. Few operators provided specific responsible gambling messages, despite being mindful of the dangers of targeting vulnerable populations, specifically young people and problem gamblers. This study is unique as it provides an in-depth first-hand account of how gambling operators are using social media.
Effect of Methane Inhibitors on Ruminal Microbiota During Early Life and Its Relationship With Ruminal Metabolism and Growth in Calves (2021)

The present study aimed to determine whether dietary supplementation with methanogen inhibitors during early life may lead to an imprint on the rumen microbial community and change the rumen function and performance of calves to 49-weeks of rearing. Twenty-four 4-day-old Friesian x Jersey cross calves were randomly assigned into a control and a treatment group. Treated calves were fed a combination of chloroform (CF) and 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) in the solid diets during the first 12 weeks of rearing. Afterward, calves were grouped by treatments until week 14, and then managed as a single group on pasture. Solid diets and water were offered <i>ad libitum</i>. Methane measurements, and sample collections for rumen metabolite and microbial community composition were carried out at the end of weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 24 and 49. Animal growth and dry matter intake (DMI) were regularly monitored over the duration of the experiment. Methane emissions decreased up to 90% whilst hydrogen emissions increased in treated compared to control calves, but only for up to 2 weeks after treatment cessation. The near complete methane inhibition did not affect calves' DMI and growth. The acetate:propionate ratio decreased in treated compared to control calves during the first 14 weeks but was similar at weeks 24 and 49. The proportions of <i>Methanobrevibacter</i> and <i>Methanosphaera</i> decreased in treated compared to control calves during the first 14 weeks; however, at week 24 and 49 the archaea community was similar between groups. Bacterial proportions at the phylum level and the abundant bacterial genera were similar between treatment groups. In summary, methane inhibition increased hydrogen emissions, altered the methanogen community and changed the rumen metabolite profile without major effects on the bacterial community composition. This indicated that the main response of the bacterial community was not a change in composition but rather a change in metabolic pathways. Furthermore, once methane inhibition ceased the methanogen community, rumen metabolites and hydrogen emissions became similar between treatment groups, indicating that perhaps using the treatments tested in this study, it is not possible to imprint a low methane microbiota into the rumen in the solid feed of pre-weaned calves.
Suturing a tear of the anterior capsulorhexis (2006)

Suturing of a broken CCC can restore at least some of the strength/elasticity of the CCC. This can be important before intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for the safety of the implantation or after the implantation to ensure proper fixation of the IOL.

Studying Quantum Field Theory (2013)

The paper puts together some loosely connected observations, old and new, on the concept of a quantum field and on the properties of Feynman amplitudes. We recall, in particular, the role of (exceptional) elementary induced representations of the quantum mechanical conformal group SU(2,2) in the study of gauge fields and their higher spin generalization. A recent revival of the (Bogolubov-)Epstein-Glaser approach to position space renormalization is reviewed including an application to the calculation of residues of primitively divergent graphs. We end up with an optimistic outlook of current developments of analytic methods in perturbative QFT which combine the efforts of theoretical physicists, algebraic geometers and number theorists.
Stringent Nucleotide Recognition by the Ribosome at the Middle Codon Position (2017)

Accurate translation of the genetic code depends on mRNA:tRNA codon:anticodon base pairing. Here we exploit an emissive, isosteric adenosine surrogate that allows direct measurement of the kinetics of codon:anticodon University of California base formation during protein synthesis. Our results suggest that codon:anticodon base pairing is subject to tighter constraints at the middle position than at the 5'- and 3'-positions, and further suggest a sequential mechanism of formation of the three base pairs in the codon:anticodon helix.
Adequacy Assessment of the Idaho Power Generation System with Integrated Variable Energy Sources (2020)

As we move into the future, variable energy resources (VERs), such as wind and solar, will begin to dominate utilities resource portfolios. We see indicative signs of this in the western interconnection with utility Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs) bypassing the natural gas "bridge resource" and identifying copious quantities of wind and solar in their 20-year plans as they work to retire increasing amounts of higher energy-cost fossil-based resources - especially coal. Adequacy assessment of systems with ongoing integration of VER, has added new requirements to enhance the current methodologies and tools for computing the widely-used Loss-of-Load-Expectation (LOLE) index. This paper presents the practical experience in evaluating the adequacy of the Idaho Power Company (IPC) generation system with integrated VER such as wind and solar. In this paper the adequacy assessment includes an analysis of uncertainties associated with load, limited energy sources (hydro), variable wind and solar energy sources, and forced and maintenance outages of generating units. The transmission contingency driven constraints have not been considered. The adequacy indexes, such as LOLE and Expected Unserved Energy (EUE), are calculated by using an analytical convolution approach that considers the realistic time series of available generation produced by VER, such as hydro, wind and solar. This paper explores, compares and presents the reliability results of four top Idaho IRPs portfolios that are selected among the 24 studied portfolios based on the cost and risk. The results suggest that the portfolio that includes a new transmission line, wind, and solar resources has the highest reliability and was one selected by IPC. In addition, the case study results indicate which wind and solar resources by location will provide more value in reducing LOLE index and show the impact of Load Forecast Uncertainty (LFU) on the LOLE and EUE indexes. The capacity contributions of future VER are also evaluated by using the Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) approach across five different meteorological profile years (2015-2019).
ACCESSING REPLICATED DATA IN A LARGE-SCALED DISTRIBUTEDSYSTEM (1991)

Replicating a data object improves the availability of the data, and can improve access latency by locating copies of the object near to their use. When accessing replicated objects across an internetwork, the time to access different replicas is non-uniform. Further, the probability that a particular replica is inaccessible is much higher in an internetwork than in a local-area network (LAN) because of partitions and the many intermediate hosts and networks that can fail. We report three replica-accessing algorithms which can be tuned to minimize either access latency or the number of messages sent. These algorithms assume only an unreliable datagram mechanism for communicating with replicas. Our work extends previous investigations into the performance of replication algorithms by assuming unreliable communication. We have investigated the performance of these algorithms by measuring the communication behavior of the Internet, and by building discrete-event simulations based on our measurements. We find that almost all message failues are either transient or due to long-term host failure, so that retrying messages a few times adds only a small amount to the overall message traffic while improving both access latency as long as the probability of message failure is small. Moreover, the algorithms which retry messages on failure provide significantly improved availability over those which do not.
Deletion of the microtubule-associated protein 6 (MAP6) results in skeletal muscle dysfunction (2018)

Altogether, our results demonstrate that MAP6 is involved in skeletal muscle function. Its deletion results in alterations in skeletal muscle contraction which contribute to the global deleterious phenotype of the MAP6 KO mice. As MAP6 KO mouse line is a model for schizophrenia, our work points to a possible muscle weakness associated to some forms of schizophrenia.
Impact of harmonics on the performance of over-current relays (2011)

Abstract — This Paper investigates the impact of power system harmonics on the performance of over-current relays. Simulation is performed on the IEEE 30-Bus system with heavy penetration of non-linear loads using ETAP software. Simulation results show that with significant harmonic contents in the power network, a relay malfunction will occur and they will trip in a wrong sequence when there is a fault in the system.
Non-vacuum printing process for CIGS solar cells on rigid and flexible substrates (2003)

ISET has developed an ink based non-vacuum process for fabricating thin film CIGS solar cells both on rigid and flexible substrates. The key benefits of this process are (1) controlled stoichiometry of the absorber layer resulting in a high process yield, (2) high materials utilization and (3) low cost of processing equipment. The combined effect of these attributes of this process is low-cost manufacturing of CIGS solar cells. Using this process, ISET has fabricated CIGS solar cells on glass and other flexible substrates. The highest conversion efficiency observed in CIGS solar cells fabricated is 13.6% on glass substrate and 10.1% on Mo foil. Because this process uses inks, a number of relatively low cost printing technologies are available for processing absorber layers in CIGS solar cell. The basic principles of this novel approach and the results obtained are discussed in this paper.
Language model adaptation for conversational speech recognition using automatically tagged pseudo-morphological classes (2002)

Statistical language models provide a powerful tool for modelling natural spoken language. Nevertheless a large set of training sentences is required to estimate reliably the model parameters. The authors present a method for estimating n-gram probabilities from sparse data. The proposed language modeling strategy allows one to adapt a generic language model (LM) to a new semantic domain with just a few hundred sentences. This reduced set of sentences is automatically tagged with eighty different pseudo-morphological labels, and then a word-bigram LM is derived from them. Finally, this target domain word-bigram LM is interpolated with a generic back-off word-bigram LM, which was estimated using a large text database. This strategy reduces by 27% the word error rate of the SPATIS (SPanish ATIS) task.
Improved error bounds for the adiabatic approximation (2011)

Since the discovery of adiabatic quantum computing, a need has arisen for rigorously proven bounds for the error in the adiabatic approximation. We present in this paper, a rigorous and elementary derivation of upper and lower bounds on the error incurred from using the adiabatic approximation for quantum systems. Our bounds are often asymptotically tight in the limit of slow evolution for fixed Hamiltonians, and are used to provide sufficient conditions for the application of the adiabatic approximation. We show that our sufficiency criteria exclude the Marzlin--Sanders counterexample from the class of Hamiltonians that obey the adiabatic approximation. Finally, we demonstrate the existence of classes of Hamiltonians that resemble the Marzlin--Sanders counterexample Hamiltonian, but also obey the adiabatic approximation.
Fine mapping of V(D)J recombinase mediated rearrangements in human lymphoid malignancies (2013)

Our results demonstrate the ability of next generation sequencing to describe human V(D)J recombinase activity and provide a scalable means to chronicle off-target, unexpressed, and non-amplifiable recombinations occurring in the development of lymphoid cancers.
The Relationship between Aortic Calcification Volume and Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: Comparison with Coronary Calcification Volume (2007)

Purpose: We compared the diagnostic performance of aortic calcification volume with that of coronary artery calcification volume at CT in diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD). Materials and Methods: A total of 308 patients (M: F=141:167) underwent coronary CT angiography using a 64-slice MDCT. We measured the calcification volume (mm3) of coronary artery (CAC), thoracic aorta (TAC), abdominal aorta (AAC), and whole aorta (AC) at unenhanced CT. OCAD was defined as the significant stenosis (≥50%) in any coronary artery at CT angiography. The diagnostic performance for OCAD was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Among the 308 patients studied, 45 patients were diagnosed with OCAD. The mean volumes of TAC, AAC, AC, and CAC were 518.8 mm3, 551.5 mm3, 1069.9 mm3, 57.6 mm3, respectively. The areas under the ROC curve of TAC, AAC, AC, and CAC for OCAD were 0.766 (0.694
A Bayesian spatio-temporal model for forecasting the prevalence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, causative agent of Lyme disease, in domestic dogs within the contiguous United States (2017)

This paper models the prevalence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in domestic dogs in the United States using climate, geographic, and societal factors. We then use this model to forecast the prevalence of antibodies to B. burgdorferi in dogs for 2016. The data available for this study consists of 11,937,925 B. burgdorferi serologic test results collected at the county level within the 48 contiguous United States from 2011-2015. Using the serologic data, a baseline B. burgdorferi antibody prevalence map was constructed through the use of spatial smoothing techniques after temporal aggregation; i.e., head-banging and Kriging. In addition, several covariates purported to be associated with B. burgdorferi prevalence were collected on the same spatio-temporal granularity, and include forestation, elevation, water coverage, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, population density, and median household income. A Bayesian spatio-temporal conditional autoregressive (CAR) model was used to analyze these data, for the purposes of identifying significant risk factors and for constructing disease forecasts. The fidelity of the forecasting technique was assessed using historical data, and a Lyme disease forecast for dogs in 2016 was constructed. The correlation between the county level model and baseline B. burgdorferi antibody prevalence estimates from 2011 to 2015 is 0.894, illustrating that the Bayesian spatio-temporal CAR model provides a good fit to these data. The fidelity of the forecasting technique was assessed in the usual fashion; i.e., the 2011-2014 data was used to forecast the 2015 county level prevalence, with comparisons between observed and predicted being made. The weighted (to acknowledge sample size) correlation between 2015 county level observed prevalence and 2015 forecasted prevalence is 0.978. A forecast for the prevalence of B. burgdorferi antibodies in domestic dogs in 2016 is also provided. The forecast presented from this model can be used to alert veterinarians in areas likely to see above average B. burgdorferi antibody prevalence in dogs in the upcoming year. In addition, because dogs and humans can be exposed to ticks in similar habitats, these data may ultimately prove useful in predicting areas where human Lyme disease risk may emerge.
Study on a long-life photocathode with an CsBr protective layer for an rf electron gun (2019)

Abstract A photocathode with a high quantum efficiency (Q.E.) and long lifetime can be fabricated by evaporating a protective layer onto a high Q.E. semiconductor photocathode. In this study we tried to improve the stability and lifetime of a Cs-Te photocathode by coating a CsBr protective layer of 20 nm in thickness over the surface. After the protective layer was applied, we measured the Q.E. of the photocathode and the lifetime in the evaporation chamber. The Q.E. of the coated Cs-Te was confirmed to be about 0.80% and to remain unchanged for a period of longer than 25 d. The effectiveness of the protective layer against exposure of the Cs-Te photocathode to oxygen gas was also confirmed for the first time. Our experiments were the first to show a lifetime improvement of a photocathode installed inside an rf gun compared to the same type of photocathode with no protective coating.
Wheat germ agglutinin receptors on human sperm membranes and sperm morphology (2009)

Sperm membrane components play an important role in the determination of sperm fertilizing ability. During spermatogenesis, epididymal transit, and capacitation, the sperm membrane undergoes various subtle changes which are important maturational events for the production of viable spermatozoa and hence partly determine fertility. Localization and intensity of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) receptors are reported to be directly associated with male fertility. We examined the correlations and differences between the distribution patterns and intensities of WGA receptors of 75 semen samples, classified according to the strict criteria described for sperm morphology, namely P-pattern (0-4% normal forms, n = 19), G-pattern (5-14% normal forms, n = 41) and normal samples (> 15% normal forms, n = 15). Results indicate distinct differences in WGA receptor intensity in all of the three groups as well as significantly (P < 0.05) lower per-cent staining of the equatorial segment amongst the P-pattern group when compared to the other two groups. It would appear that there is a close relationship between WGA receptors on human sperm membranes and sperm morphology.
Simultaneous control of propulsion and levitation of linear induction motor in a novel Maglev system (2002)

Magnetically levitated transportation systems are used in various fields, for example in the clean room, because they have unique merits such as being contactless. The usual system has the levitation system, such as electrical magnets and drive system and a linear motor, respectively. In this system we should control the levitation in considering the attractive force caused by the drive system because the linear motor used as the drive system has not only the thrust force but also the attractive force changing the condition of the electrical power source. Then in this paper, we propose a novel transportation system without the electrical magnet for the levitation system. In this system, there is only the linear induction motor as the drive system and we use the attractive force of the motor for the levitation. We propose a novel method to control the levitation and the drive simultaneously. We use a new power source combined with the high frequency component and the low frequency one. At first, we show the basic characteristics of the linear induction motor used as the drive system and explain the concept of the proposed control method. Secondly we show the characteristics of the motor powered by the combined power supply. Next we explain the control scheme. Finally we show the results of the levitation controlled by the proposed method.
<title>Rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria by volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis</title> (2002)

Developments in rapid detection technologies have made countless improvements over the years. However, because of the limited sample that these technologies can process in a single run, the chance of capturing and identifying a small amount of pathogens is difficult. The problem is further magnified by the natural random distribution of pathogens in foods. Methods to simplify pathogenic detection through the identification of bacteria specific VOC were studied. E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium were grown on selected agar medium to model protein, and carbohydrate based foods. Pathogenic and common spoilage bacteria (Pseudomonas and Morexella) were screened for unique VOC production. Bacteria were grown on agar slants in closed vials. Headspace sampling was performed at intervals up to 24 hours using Solid Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) techniques followed by GC/MS analysis. Development of unique volatiles was followed to establish sensitivity of detection. E. coli produced VOC not found in either Trypticase Soy Yeast (TSY) agar blanks or spoilage organism samples were - indole, 1-decanol, and 2-nonanone. Salmonella specific VOC grown on TSY were 3-methyl-1-butanol, dimethyl sulfide, 2-undecanol, 2-pentadecanol and 1-octanol. Trials on potato dextrose agar (PDA) slants indicated VOC specific for E. coli and Salmonella when compared to PDA blanks and Pseudomonas samples. However, these VOC peaks were similar for both pathogens. Morexella did not grow on PDA slants. Work will continue with model growth mediums at various temperatures, and mixed flora inoculums. As well as, VOC production based on the dynamics of bacterial growth.
Berberine Activates Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor but Suppresses CYP1A1 Induction through miR-21-3p Stimulation in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells (2017)

Berberine and the methylenedioxy ring-opening derivatives palmatine and jatrorrhizine are active ingredients in immunomodulatory plants, such as goldenseal. This study aimed to illustrate the effects of protoberberines on aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1 in the estrogen receptor (ER)α(+) MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Among protoberberines at non-cytotoxic concentrations (≤10 μM), berberine had the most potent and statistically significant effects on AhR activation and CYP1A1/1A2/1B1 mRNA induction. The 24-h exposure to 10 μM berberine did not change CYP1A1 mRNA stability, protein level and function. Berberine significantly increased micro RNA (miR)-21-3p by 36% and the transfection of an inhibitor of miR-21-3p restored the induction of CYP1A1 protein with a 50% increase. These findings demonstrate that the ring opening of the methylenedioxyl moiety in berberine decreased AhR activation in MCF-7 cells. While CYP1A1 mRNA was elevated, berberine-induced miR-21-3p suppressed the increase of functional CYP1A1 protein expression.
