Microbiologic, radiographic, and anatomic study of the nasolacrimal duct apparatus in the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

This study was motivated by the sporadic observation of epiphora in two male rabbits. The epiphora was unilateral and not associated with conjunctivitis or Pasteurella infection. To characterize the cause of epiphora, we studied 15 specific-pathogen-free New Zealand White rabbits. This study group was composed of the two affected males, four unaffected males, and nine unaffected females. Clinical evaluation consisted of bacterial culture of conjunctival specimens, examination of conjunctival scrapings for chlamydial inclusions, culture and cytologic examination of specimens from the nasolacrimal duct, plain and contrast radiography, latex casting, histologic examination, and the Schirmer tear test. Important differences found in the rabbits with epiphora included an opalescent, gritty, nasolacrimal duct flush fluid and marked unilateral dilatation of the duct proximal to a dorsal flexure at the caudal limit of the incisor tooth root. The flush solution from one affected rabbit cleared with ether, suggesting the presence of triglycerides or cholesterol. The organisms most commonly isolated from the conjunctiva were Moraxella sp., Oligella urethralis, Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus sp., and Streptococcus viridans. The organisms most commonly isolated from the nasolacrimal duct flush fluid were Moraxella sp., S. viridans, and Neisseria sp. Culture of the nasolacrimal duct flush fluid yielded microorganisms more consistently than did culture of the conjunctival specimens. All microorganisms isolated from affected rabbits also were isolated from unaffected rabbits. There was no apparent contribution of microorganisms to the development of epiphora, and Schirmer tear test results for affected animals were within the range seen in unaffected animals. Occlusion of the nasolacrimal duct was presumed to be attributable to fat droplets. This study augments the existing literature and represents the first report of anomalous nasolacrimal duct anatomic features in the rabbit.
Basque ideophones from a typological perspective

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Ideophones are described as expressive marked linguistic units with a dramaturgic depictive function. Although commonly regarded in traditional general linguistics as rare and marginal, recent research on this topic has shown that these elements are pervasive in all languages and that they might share some linguistic characteristics across languages. This article analyses Basque ideophones from a typological perspective. The main goal is to describe the structure, meaning and function of Basque ideophones and to discuss how the Basque ideophonic system fits into the cross-linguistic characterisation of these linguistic units.
State-of-Health Online Estimation for Li-Ion Battery

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

<div>To realize a fast and high-precision online state-of-health (SOH) estimation of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, this article proposes a novel SOH estimation method. This method consists of a new SOH model and parameters identification method based on an improved genetic algorithm (Improved-GA). The new SOH model combines the equivalent circuit model (ECM) and the data-driven model. The advantages lie in keeping the physical meaning of the ECM while improving its dynamic characteristics and accuracy. The improved-GA can effectively avoid falling into a local optimal problem and improve the convergence speed and search accuracy. So the advantages of the SOH estimation method proposed in this article are that it only relies on battery management systems (BMS) monitoring data and removes many assumptions in some other traditional ECM-based SOH estimation methods, so it is closer to the actual needs for electric vehicle (EV). By comparing with the traditional ECM-based SOH estimation method, the algorithm proposed in this article has higher accuracy, fewer identification parameters, and lower computational complexity.</div>
RNA sequencing of susceptible and resistant common carp before and after infection with CyHV-3

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Infectious disease outbreaks in aquaculture form major setbacks to fish production and to further development of this important sector. Cyprinid herpes virus-3 (CyHV-3) is a dsDNA virus widely affecting production of common carp (Cyprinus carpio), one of the most farmed fish species worldwide. Genetically disease resistant strains are highly sought for a sustainable solution to this problem. To study the genetic basis and cellular pathways underlining CyHV-3 resistance in common carp, RNA-Seq was used to characterize transcriptional responses of susceptible and resistant fish at day 4 after CyHV-3 infection. Understanding resistance mechanisms is important both for development of both vaccines and resistant strains and lays the foundation for future studies in this field.

Propaganda in North Korea

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study investigates the use of art, propaganda posters in specific, and how it is used as a political gateway by the North Korean government to inspire and influence the population to whom it is exposed, in a particular way. It attempts to examine the background of propaganda, from a historical, social, sociological and psychological vantage point and thus analyze three different posters, each representing the main aspects of the political ideology, Juche. By utilizing a semiotic approach along with a 10-step analysis method developed specifically for propaganda, the main elements of the propaganda posters are disclosed, such as influential color schemes, gender roles and gender representation, as well as the presumed target audience and source of the propaganda. The prominent linguistic aspects are also taken into account. Having already taken into account the notion of intention and interpretation, an assumption on the wanted outcome of the propaganda is executed.
The study furthermore deals with the psychological causes and influences, which are inevitably influencing the population of North Korea. By using the Milgram experiment the underlying social and psychological implications are addressed. The historical, political and social dynamics are used in order to establish how the propaganda is influenced and created.
Lastly, the study will discuss the notion of Western propaganda, thus comparing it to the previously analyzed North Korean poster (along with North Korean propaganda in general) and debate whether or not it is justifiable to examine North Korean propaganda from a Western perspective.
Hyperammonaemic Encephalopathy Caused by Adult-Onset Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Hyperammonaemic encephalopathy in adults is a rare condition in the absence of liver disease and is associated with a high mortality and risk of permanent neurological deficits. Seldomly, the condition is caused by an inborn error of metabolism in the urea cycle, triggered by an exogenic factor such as gastrointestinal haemorrhage, gastric bypass surgery, starvation, seizures, vigorous exercise, burn injuries, or drugs hampering the elimination of ammonia. Here, we present a fatal case of an unrecognized genetic ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) presenting with a subacute progressive encephalopathy. We review the current literature and discuss the differential diagnosis and treatment options. As swift diagnosis and initiation of treatment is vital, awareness of hyperammonaemic encephalopathy and its possible causes can help improve the prognosis of this condition.

Data initiatives: building a managed care network utilizing clinical performance data.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Responding to the rising health care costs of its traditional indemnity health care plan, Hershey Foods Corporation developed its own managed care plan as part of the company strategy to better control its health care costs. In developing a provider network for its managed care plan, Hershey Foods utilized data from the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council and the expertise of many different groups, health care data consultants (Healthcare Research Affiliates), the insurance provider (Capital Blue Cross/Pennsylvania Blue Shield), health care providers, as well as the employees and their union representatives. Selection of providers for the network necessitated a data initiative that analyzed indicators of quality and cost efficiency. This article explores the roles of these different groups in building the managed care network for Hershey and examines the organizational changes within these different groups to accommodate the Hershey Foods project.
Vision based long range object detection and tracking for unmanned surface vehicle

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A real time vision based long range object detection and tracking algorithm for unmanned surface vehicles (USV) is proposed in this paper. HD image (2736 × 2192) is utilised in this work to obtain high accuracy for the object distance estimation. With handling such high resolution images for real time performance, we propose a coarse to fine approach, which firstly estimates the sea surface plane and locations of objects coarsely on lower resolution images corresponding to the HD images, then the detected coarse locations or regions of interest (ROI) are projected to the original HD image, finally stereo matching is preformed in the original image only on these extracted ROI, which renders more accurate 3D information for localizing the objects on the open sea. In the tracking, we propose to combine the target tracking based on 2D image with the constrained template matching to compute the depth, which demonstrates a more robust and accurate performance. Experimental results with our own dataset verify the high efficiency of our proposed method.
Learning Self-regulated L2 Writing Under a Cognitive Model

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract

This research study has been conducted to experiment an innovative teaching approach believing that when less use of self-regulated learning strategy leads to lower metacognitive learning attitude which results in low proficiency. This study has investigated the consequences of instructionally aroused cognitive involvement load for self-monitoring and self-assessment through facilitation of metacognitive learning strategy use for improving L2 writing skills of Thai undergraduate students. This innovative instructional model for teaching self-regulated L2 writing has been named as Strategic Self-Regulated Metacognitive Activities or S2RMCA. The approach of this model has been developed to promote self-regulated learning management. For stimulating the use of learning strategies, a set of self-monitoring and self-evaluating assessment rubric named Strategy Inventories for Learning L2 Writing (SILL2W) has also been devised. A set of questionnaire, pre-post-tests, checklist, and interviews were employed for collecting and analyzing the data. Results of data analyses have shown effectiveness and feasibility of the S2RMCA model for teaching self-regulated L2 writing. Satisfactory results have also been shown by participants in their L2 writing skills. So far, research studies conducted on cognitive involvement load, a continuing challenge has always been there regarding the accurate measurement of load via self-reporting and this study has also faced that challenge.
Methodical Aspects of Evaluation of Financial Architecture of Economy

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The article describes the effectiveness of financial architecture as one of the key aspects of sustainable economic growth and national prosperity, and therefore the methods and models of evaluating financial architecture as an object of study are becoming increasingly relevant. The created methodology is based on the concept of developing an architecture for evaluating financial architecture as the aggregate methods for evaluating the performance of financial systems, whose institutional matrix is financial architecture. The study of methodological aspects of financial architecture valuation substantiates the necessity of applying the concept of financial architecture evaluation, which is based on the basic assumptions for determining: the object of valuation, the typology of financial architecture for the purpose of evaluation, the nature of the indicators used, the interpretation of the results of valuation. The methodological approach to the evaluation of the financial architecture of the national economy is proposed to be based on four main components, such as: financial development, financial institutions, financial markets and financial stability, with an appropriate set of indicators, which will allow to form a comprehensive approach to the evaluation of the national financial architecture have been created.
Detection of Staphylococcus aureus in Bovine Milk and Its Product by Real Time PCR Assay

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

3 Abstract: The SYBR Green RT-PCR assay is a useful diagnostic tool for quick, high throughput and reliable routine screening of S. aureus isolates. Moreover, the SYBR Green based quantitative detection of these pathogens in raw milk could remarkably contribute to clarify their actual role in Staphylococcal food poisoning and other clinical syndromes associated with the consumption of milk and milk-based products. In this work the incidences of Staphylococcus aureus in Kareish cheese, ice-cream and raw milk by using the traditional methods were 68, 50 and 40%, respectively and the lowest percentage was detected from yoghurt (14%). Real- time PCR assay was used to provide a rapid and sensitive method for the specific detection of Staphylococcus aureus in milk and its product. The melting point to Staphylococcus aureus was 83.4°C.
Pediatric Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Pediatric gastroesophageal reflux is a unique entity, different from adult gastroesophageal reflux. Unlike in adults, pediatric reflux, particularly in younger children, is largely nonacidic; symptom identification is difficult, as pediatric patients are often nonverbal; and therapies prescribed in early childhood may have long-lasting implications into adulthood. This chapter reviews the changes in the field of pediatric reflux that have emerged over the last decade. The therapeutic approach has changed from one of aggressive medical and surgical therapies in young children to more dietary interventions. In the majority of infants, diagnostic testing is not indicated if the infant is growing and the only symptom is painless regurgitation of stomach contents into the mouth. There are two main goals for treatment: treating symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and/or preventing complications of GERD. The primary non-pharmacologic therapies in infants and children include positioning and dietary interventions.
Covalent interactions between amino acid side chains and oxidation products of caffeoylquinic acid (chlorogenic acid)

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract BACKGROUND: Physicochemical properties and digestibility of proteins can be modified by covalent interactions with oxidized phenolic compounds, i.e., quinones. In order to control these interactions in food products, the covalent interactions between quinones from caffeoylquinic acid (CQA) and amino acid side chains were studied with mass spectrometry using N‐terminally protected amino acids. RESULTS: The addition of two molecules of CQA, presumably in the form of a pre‐formed dimer, was observed for lysine, tyrosine, histidine and tryptophan. A monomer of CQA seemed to be able to react with histidine and tryptophan, whereas no interaction with a CQA monomer was observed for lysine and tyrosine. Serine and threonine showed no covalent interactions with CQA. Cross‐linking between CQA and the side chains of two molecules of lysine is likely to occur also in proteins. The results show that protein cross‐linking may also be expected to occur via two tyrosine residues in the absence of other phenolic substrates. The side chains of lysine and tyrosine are more reactive than that of histidine and tryptophan. CONCLUSIONS: These results show that covalent protein modification by oxidized phenolics occurs preferentially via an initial dimerization and encompasses not only lysine and cysteine residues.

Bridges of Ancient Rome: Drawings in the Hermitage Ascribed to Fra Giocondo

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In 1962 three albums of Italian architectural drawings dating from the late fifteenth or the early sixteenth century were discovered in the Hermitage. Professor M. A. Goukovskj stated1 that these are the very Albums A, B and C which the well-known architectural historian Geymüller2 ascribed in 1891 to the Italian engineer and great authority on ancient Roman architecture, Fra Giovanni Giocondo of Verona (ca. 1435–1515). At the end of the nineteenth century the albums were acquired by Polovtzev (probably at the sale of Geymüller's collection); later they passed into the collection of the Stieglitz School, where they were kept till 1932, the date of their transfer to the Hermitage. In the early twentieth century these albums, containing most valuable material on the history of architecture of ancient Rome and the Roman Campagna, attracted the attention of Egger and Huelsen, who published some of the drawings.3 Huelsen also mentioned some of them in describing the sheets of the Vatican Codex of Giuliano da Sangallo.4 However, after the early 1920's the albums were gradually forgotten. Thus, their rediscovery in 1962 in the collections of the Hermitage attracted great attention from specialists. In an article devoted to them, Professor Goukovskj gave a complete description of the albums and published some of the drawings, while making interesting observations on their contents.

Tight Bounds for Online Balanced Partitioning in the Generalized Learning Model

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Resource allocation in distributed and networked systems such as the Cloud is becoming increasingly flexible, allowing these systems to dynamically adjust toward the workloads they serve, in a demand-aware manner. Online balanced partitioning is a fundamental optimization problem underlying such self-adjusting systems. We are given a set of $\ell$ servers. On each server we can schedule up to $k$ processes simultaneously. The demand is described as a sequence of requests $σ_t=\{p_i, p_{j}\}$, which means that the two processes $p_i,p_{j}$ communicate. A process can be migrated from one server to another which costs 1 unit per process move. If the communicating processes are on different servers, it further incurs a communication cost of 1 unit for this request. The objective is to minimize the competitive ratio: the cost of serving such a request sequence compared to the cost incurred by an optimal offline algorithm. Henzinger et al. (at SIGMETRICS 2019) introduced a learning variant of this problem where the cost of an online algorithm is compared to the cost of a static offline algorithm that does not perform any communication, but which simply learns the communication graph and keeps the discovered connected components together. This problem variant was recently also studied at SODA 2021. In this paper, we consider a more general learning model (i.e., stronger adversary), where the offline algorithm is not restricted to keep connected components together. Our main contribution are tight bounds for this problem. In particular, we present two deterministic online algorithms: (1) an online algorithm with competitive ratio $O(\max(\sqrt{k\ell \log k}, \ell \log k))$ and augmentation $1+ε$; (2) an online algorithm with competitive ratio $O(\sqrt{k})$ and augmentation $2+ε$. We further present lower bounds showing optimality of these bounds.
