Travel arrangement as a moderator in image–satisfaction–behavior relations (2015)

With more and more destinations relying on repeat travelers, the inclination of tourists to revisit some destinations has become a significant topic of study. Therefore, the reasons for travelers’ revisits have been addressed in many research studies. These studies have determined several factors of the revisit inclination, such as satisfaction, destination image, and perceived quality. However, in most of the previous studies about the relationships among the destination image and tourists’ satisfaction, as well as their behavioral intentions to the destination, the moderating variables were not considered. Consequently, we analyzed the moderator effects of certain characteristics of different travel arrangements on the theoretical relationship among the destination image, tourists’ satisfaction, and their behavioral intentions to the destination. This article first identifies the similarities and differences among these two types of Chinese outbound travelers in terms of their demographic and trip characteristics. It then confirms that these two types of travelers differ in terms of the relationships among perceived destination images, satisfaction level, and future behavioral intentions using an invariance test of structural model. According to the multiple group cause-and-effect analysis, the results show that travel arrangement can largely affect either the relations between destination image and tourists’ satisfaction or their behavioral intentions. Moreover, the relationship between either destination image and tourists’ satisfaction or their behavioral intentions is generally stronger for independent visitors. Finally, the influences are discussed from both theoretical and practical perspective.
Characteristics of transformer exciting-current during geomagnetic disturbances (1991)

An efficient method allowing the transformer flux offset and exciting-current waveform to be determined for combined AC and geomagnetically induced current (GIC) excitation, without lengthy time-domain simulations, is described. This iterative approach solves for the equilibrium saturation condition using lumped-parameter nonlinear magnetic-circuit models. In addition to investigating single-phase transformer performance, the authors examine the performance of certain three-phase transformer types for which GIC results in phase imbalance.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
An Efficient Digital Multisignature Scheme (2006)

An efficient digital multisignature scheme is suggested which enhance the Kiesler-Harn's scheme. The suggested scheme has no bit expansion, in which every signer has the RSA modulus with the same bit length and the same most significant b bits pattern. In addition, the new algorithm has no limitations in signing order and in fact is more efficient than the Kiesler-Harn's multisignature algorithm
Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: present strategy, guidelines and new insights. (2006)

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an immune-mediated thrombocytopenia. The diagnosis is made after exclusion of other secondary causes of thrombocytopenic disorders. The primary treatment goal is to prevent severe bleeding rather than achieve normal platelet counts. In adults ITP usually has an insidious onset and chronic course. Although ITP is a relatively common haematological disorder, there are important unresolved issues in its management, especially for chronic refractory ITP patients. New therapeutic agents have changed strategies for ITP treatment. This article reviews the treatment indications and options of chronic ITP in adults in the literature and compares them with the treatment indications and treatment options used by the Dutch internist.
Population dynamics of free living, nitrogen fixing bacteria Azospirillum in Manakkudi mangrove ecosystem, India. (2012)

Seasonal variations of population dynamics of free living nitrogen fixing bacteria, Azospirillum in relation to chemical parameters in Manakkudi mangrove ecosystem was assessed in root and rhizosphere soil samples of mangroves and mangrove associated plants. In rhizosphere soil and root samples, the counts of Azospirillum were recorded maximum in Acrostichum aureum as 8.63 +/- 0.92 x 10(4) and 115.48 +/- 17.36 x 10(4) CFU g(-1), respectively. The counts of Azospirillum in non-rhizosphere soil varied from 0.01 +/- 0.001 x 10(4) to 5.77 +/- 0.92 x 10(4) CFU g(-1) and found maximum in February and minimum in March and September. Azospirillum counts in water samples were found maximum (2.24 x 10(4) CFU l(-1)) in February. During seasonal variations maximum counts of Azospirillum were recorded during southwest monsoon season in Avicennia officinalis (1.40 x 10(4) CFU g(-1)) followed by Rhizophora mucronata (1.07 x 10(4) CFU g(-1)). The average maximum population density of Azospirillum counts was found during non monsoon season (9.73 x 10(4) CFU g(-1)) and the average maximum population density of Azospirillum counts was found with the mangrove associated root samples (13.73 x 10(4) CFU g(-1)). Of the selected isolates Azospirillum lipoferum (60%) was found to be predominant followed by Azospirillum brasilense (25%), Azospirillum irakense (5%), Azospirillum halopraeferens (5%) and Azospirillum amazonense (5%). Of the isolated species, A. halopraeferens exhibited better growth at 35 g l(-1) NaCl. The level of Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn were varied from 0.91 to 15.93 ppm. The level of Mn (12.13 ppm) was found maximum during non-monsoon of rhizosphere soil sample. Highest rainfall (192.80 mm) and atmospheric temperature (25.10 degrees C) were recorded during south west monsoon and non monsoon seasons. The increased population density was greatly influenced by the pH (r = +0.686). The present finding provides enough information on the nitrogen flow through biological process in Manakkudi mangrove ecosystem which can be useful for the effective implementation of mangrove management plan.
Geometry and the Imagination. (1952)

This is a translation into English of the famous "Anschauliche Geometrie," by Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen. The basis of the book is a course of lectures which were given at Göttingen in 1920, and the purpose of the lectures was to give a presentation of geometry in its visual intuitive aspects. The book will appeal to ophthalmologists who have a basic interest in geometry. It has no practical applications for the clinician.

50-km C-Band Transmission of 50-Gb/s PAM4 Using 10-G EML and Complexity-Reduced Adaptive Equalization (2019)

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the transmission of 50-Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM4) signal over 50-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) in C-band using electroabsorption modulated laser and PIN/APD detector with 8.5/6 GHz bandwidth. A simplified Volterra-DFE filter is proposed, which reduces the required tap number by ∼70% compared with traditional DFE and Volterra filtering. Experimental results show that by using 86-tap equalization, a sensitivity of –15 and –14 dBm can be achieved at the FEC limit of 1 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">−3</sup> in back to back (BtB) and 50-km SSMF transmission cases. In addition, by replacing the PIN-TIA with a 10-Gb/s APD-ROSA for detection, the sensitivity can be further increased by 5.5 and 3 dB for BtB and 50-km SSMF transmission cases, respectively.
Evaluating Grid Portal Security (2006)

Grid portals are an increasingly popular mechanism for creating customizable, Web-based interfaces to grid services and resources. Due to the powerful, general-purpose nature of grid technology, the security of any portal or entry point to such resources cannot be taken lightly. This is particularly true if the portal is running inside of a trusted perimeter, such as a science gateway running on an SDSC machine for access to the TeraGrid. To evaluate the current state of grid portal security, we undertake a comparative analysis of the three most popular grid portal frameworks that are being pursued as frontends to the TeraGrid: GridSphere, OGCE and clarens. We explore general challenges that grid portals face in the areas of authentication (including user identification), authorization, auditing (logging) and session management then contrast how the different grid portal implementations address these challenges. We find that although most grid portals address these security concerns to a certain extent, there is still room for improvement, particularly in the areas of secure default configurations and comprehensive logging and auditing support. We conclude with specific recommendations for designing, implementing and configuring secure grid portals
Securing AODV: the A-SAODV secure routing prototype (2008)

Mobile ad hoc networks pose new kinds of security problems, caused by their nature of collaborative and open systems and by limited availability of resources. In this article, we consider a Wi-Fi connectivity data link layer as a basis and focus on routing security. We discuss our implementation of the secure AODV protocol extension, which includes tuning strategies aimed at improving its performance. Namely, we propose an adaptive mechanism that tunes SAODV behavior. Moreover, we analyze our adaptive strategy and another technique that delays the verification of digital signatures. This article sums up the experimental results we collected in the prototype design, implementation, and tuning.
An effective solution to thermal-aware test scheduling on network-on-chip using multiple clock rates (2012)

As more cores are being packed on a single chip, bus-based communication is suffering from bandwidth and scalability issues. As a result, the new approach is to use a network-on-chip (NoC) as the main communication platform on a SoC. NoC provides the flexibility and scalability much needed in the era of multi-cores. NoC-based systems also provide the capability of multiple clocking that is widely used in many SoC nowadays. In this paper, a simulated annealing algorithm for thermal and power-aware test scheduling of cores in a NoC-based SoC using multiple clock rates is presented. Results on different benchmarks show the effectiveness of our technique.
Generalised predictive control (GPC) in the operating theatre (1992)

The development and evaluation of generalised predictive control (GPC) for on-line administration of muscle-relaxant drugs in the operating theatre is described. The necessary software and hardware environment was established using a SUN workstation and then a PC-based controller linked to an analogue patient simulator. The validated system was then transferred into the operating theatre for a series of clinical evaluation trials. Successful trials were performed at two sites, with decreasing involvement of the design engineers. Excellent regulation has been achieved, with a much reduced drug consumption compared with manual methods of drug administration. The GPC algorithm displayed good robustness properties against heavy electrical interference from disturbances such as surgical diathermy.
Volition and the readiness potential (1999)

The readiness potential was found to precede voluntary acts by about half a second or more (Kornhuber &amp; Deecke, 1965). Kornhuber (1984) discussed the readiness potential in terms of volition, arguing that it is not the manifestation of an attentional processes. Libet discussed it in relation to consciousness and to free will (Libet et al. 1983a; 1983b; Libet,
3D particle positioning from CCD images using the generalized Lorenz–Mie and Huygens–Fresnel theories (2006)

3D spherical particle positioning is found by using a defocusing method that consists in measuring the central spot size of an experimental image from a particle and comparing its nearest value with a numerically calculated central spot size matrix array. The numerical calculations were carried out using the generalized Lorenz–Mie and the Huygens–Fresnel diffraction theories. On comparison, the experimental results are in good agreement with the predictions made with the numerical calculations and an error analysis is presented.
A generalized envelope theorem with an application to congestion-prone facilities (2002)

A generalized envelope theorem is presented which has the Envelope Theorem as a special case. Relative to the Envelope Theorem, it provides greater flexibility in determining the rate of change of a value function with respect to one of its arguments. We revisit a classic result on economies of scale for a congestion-prone facility, using the flexibility of the Generalized Envelope Theorem to provide a simpler, more intuitive proof.
The literacy continuum K-10: A vital tool for all teachers (2013)

The Literacy continuum began life as a tool to monitor the literacy learning of students in K-2 in the Best Start program. Then it was extended to Year 6, largely to support the Focus on Reading 3-6 program. Now it has morphed into a full-fledged K-10 continuum, like its older cousin, the Numeracy continuum.
Visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil: trends and challenges (2008)

The urbanization of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil has been related to environmental changes, migration, interaction and spread of sylvatic reservoirs and infected dogs to areas with no transmission, and adaptation of the vector Lutzomyia longipalpis to the peridomiciliary environment. From 1980 to 2005, Brazil recorded 59,129 cases of visceral leishmaniasis, 82.5% of which in the Northeast region. Visceral leishmaniasis gradually spread to other regions of the country: in 1998 these other regions reported 15% of all cases, but by 2005 this proportion had increased to 44%. From 1998 to 2005, indigenous cases were reported in 1,904 different municipalities of the country (34.2%). Reservoir and vector control pose major challenges for disease control, since there is a need for better knowledge of vector behavior in urban areas, and control activities involve high operational costs. In recent years the Brazilian Ministry of Health has supported research on the laboratory diagnosis of infection and disease in humans and dogs, treatment of patients, evaluation of the effectiveness of control strategies, and development of new technologies that could contribute to the surveillance and control of visceral leishmaniasis in the country.
Design principles for competence-based Recommender Systems (2012)

In this paper we analyze the principal preconditions and limitations for designing a competence-based Recommender System. In detail this analysis is contextualized in the ARISTOTELE European project. In the second part of the paper an architectural view is proposed taking in consideration the objective to propose standard and non-standard suggestions. This solution will permit to insert serendipity approaches into classical solutions.
Trend of antibiotic resistance of Vibrio cholerae strains from East Delhi. (2008)

V. cholerae have a permanent existence in the environment and during the quiescent period, their survival in water bodies allows dissipation of resistance patterns to different serotypes or strains of V. cholerae O1 and therefore there is need for constant observation.
Home networking (2006)

Although most of the ideas behind networking are relatively straightforward, several interesting technical and business decisions must be made as an ongoing part of the process. In this first installment of what I hope turns into a discussion about more advanced applications, the focus is on revealing the secrets in a typical home router/switch. (Here, a router has both switching and routing functions).
Effects of Temperature on Formation of Insolubles in Aviation Fuels (1998)

Ten aviation turbine fuels (five Jet-A fuels, three JP-5, one JP-8, and one JPTS) were stressed at 185 and 225°C in a single-pass heat exchanger. On the basis of several criteria applied at 185°C, these fuels cover a broad thermal-stability range from lesser-quality fuels to the most stable JPTS fuel. Three of these fuels contain significant concentrations of dissolved metal (copper, >30 ppb). The surface and bulk insolubles formed from each fuel have been quantified using surface-carbon burnoff of tubing sections and of in-line filters. The total insolubles measured at 185 and 225°C fall in the range 0.3–7.5 μg/mL, and 0.1–2 μg/mL, respectively. In general, the greater the quantity of insolubles formed at 185°C, the greater its reduction at 225°C. Possible explanations for this effect are offered, and implications relative to understanding surface fouling are discussed.
A Simple Method for Displaying Multichannel Multiplexed Signals from Digital Magnetic Tape (1970)

In circumstances where many channels of information are being multiplexed onto digital magnetic tape, it is required to monitor the multichannel signals on an oscilloscope at the time of recording and at subsequent playback. A simple method of achieving this using a single-beam oscilloscope is described.
Short-term prediction of stock market price based on GA optimization LSTM neurons (2018)

Long-Short Term Memory Network stands out from the financial sector due to its long-term memory predictability, however, the speed of subsequent operations is extremely slow, and the timeliness of the inability to meet market changes has been criticized. In this paper. Aiming at the shortcomings of the slow running of three gates in each neuron of LSTM in back propagation, we propose to use GA to optimize the internal weights of LSTM neurons to optimize the defect. In this experiment, GA optimization could not change the accuracy of the model, but it achieved better results than the original LSTM in terms of speed, and satisfied the demand of the future business field for rapid response to market changes in terms of timeliness.
Infections in Diabetic Burn Patients (2004)

Peripheral neuropathy may have precipitated and delayed medical treatment in lower-extremity burns of diabetic patients. Hospitalized diabetic burn patients were also at an increased risk for nosocomial infections, which prolonged hospitalization. Diabetic patient education must include not only caution about potential burn mishaps but also educate concerning the complications from burns that may ensue.

Reconstitution into liposomes of the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus by detergent dialysis. (1979)

The glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis (VS) virus was selectively liberated from the virion membrane by the dialyzable nonionic detergent, beta-D-octylglucoside. The isolated viral glycoprotein could be rendered virtually free of phospholipid and detergent, under which conditions it formed tail-to-tail glycoprotein micelles in the form of rosettes. When mixtures of viral glycoprotein and egg lecithin were dialyzed free of octylglucoside, glycoprotein vesicles formed spontaneously with spikes protruding in the same external orientation as the VS virion membrane. The glycoprotein vesicles exhibited increased and uniform buoyant density, indicating relative homogeneity in the proportion of glycoprotein and phosphatidylcholine in each glycoprotein liposome. Evidence for similar insertion and orientation of VS viral glycoprotein in both phosphatidylcholine vesicles and virion membrane was substantiated by the finding that proteolytic digestion with thermolysin gave rise to hydrophobic glycoprotein tail fragments in vesicle or virion membranes that migrated identically in polyacrylamide gels.

Hydrogenation with diimide (1965)

The azo compound diimide is a short-lived species recently recognized for its ability to hydrogenate multiple bonds; its selectivity makes diimide reduction a useful alternative to catalytic hydrogenation.
Memory and cognitive function in man (1977)

Interference with cholinergic function produces disruption of memory/cognitive (M/C) performance in both animals and man. It is uncertain whether this disruption is due to a specific relation of cholinergic neurons to M/C functions, or whether the effect is nonspecific, resulting either from alteration of alertness and attention, or from a "mass action" effect, with loss of functioning neurons. Scopolamine was given to normal subjects to produce an M/C impairment. Half the test subjects then received physostigmine and half d-amphetamine. Physostigmine, a pharmacologic antagonist of scopolamine, markedly improved M/C functions; amphetamine failed to produce M/C improvement, although alertness was improved, and activity in catecholaminergic neurons presumably increased. This comparison supports a specific role for cholinergic neurons in M/C processes. Possible mechanisms of cholinergic neural functioning in memory include plasticity of cholinergic synapses, as well as other acetylcholine-depended operations of the limbic system crucial to memory.
Context-Aware Petri Net for Dynamic Procedural Content Generation in Role-Playing Game (2011)

In most cases, the story or plot of popular role-playing games is constructed by professional designers as a main content. However, manual design of game content has a limitation in the quantitative aspect; it requires a large amount of time and effort. As game consumers want more diverse and rich contents, it is not easy to satisfy these needs with manual design, so procedural content generation is actively exploited to automatically generate game contents. In this paper, we propose a quest generation method using Petri net modules. A quest depending on the player's involvement or type determined by Bayesian network is generated by Petri net. Never Winter Night is used as a game platform to show the feasibility of the proposed method. In future works, we will collect players' playing history and evaluate the performance of Bayesian network inference for a player's type. Also, we will apply the proposed method to an open-source platform for a complete automatic quest generation system.
