How an Energy Awareness Application Affects User Behavior: A Case Study

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A significant number of people have problems with the batteries of their mobile devices. There are several energy saving applications available to tackle those problems. Most of them increase battery life mostly by automatically closing applications or operations. The user is for the most part unaware of what the energy saving application actually does. Therefore, even though the battery might last somewhat longer, the user may continue using behavioral patterns that drain the battery.\n\nThere is little evidence to support the assumption that battery awareness applications lead to behavioral changes. Therefore, we decided to conduct a research on how a mobile awareness application called Carat is used, and how the behavior of its users changes over time.\n\nThe study was carried out in two phases. In the first part of the study, we conducted a user survey, and studied the Carat log data of the devices represented in the survey. We found out that the behavior changes over time; there were significant differences between new Carat users, and the more experienced ones. The more experienced users had reduced their use of problematic applications more, were interested in different features of Carat, and opened it less often.\n\nIn the second part of the study, we studied how new Carat users used Carat and what they thought of using it. They were interviewed twice, and they also wrote in a web diary about their experiences. We found out that the main difference in their thinking was the increase in overall awareness about applications as something that affects battery life. We also found out that inadequate, uninteresting and unclear information causes confusion and frustration, and decreases the likelihood of users sticking with Carat.
Polyphony in D. Shostakovich's a cappella choral work

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this article is to identify the role of polyphony in choral a cappella music of Russian compositional writing of the twentieth century. The subject of the study is the a cappella choral work of Dmitry Shostakovich. The object of the research is to consider the polyphonic techniques in the works "Ten poems of revolutionary poets", "Two treatments of Russian folk songs for unaccompanied choir", "Fidelity". The author examines in detail the polyphonic means in the choral heritage of the great Russian composer. Special attention is paid to polyphonic methods in a cappella choral works. The author states that D. Shostakovich's polyphony is distinguished by its depth and semantic concentration. The appeal to imitation, sub-vocal and contrasting polyphony in D. Shostakovich's a cappella choral compositions is characterized by an individual approach to solving a creative idea. The methodology consists in the synthesis of research methods, including musicology, poetics and choral studies. On the basis of this synthesis, the parameters of the musical composition are revealed: the analyzed genre specifics and polyphonic means, the features of choral writing. The main conclusion of the research is the paradigm of a deep stylistic synthesis of secular and spiritual principles in the works of D. Shostakovich. This position has become a determining factor for polyphony as the dominant principle of the composer's musical thinking. Attention is focused on the need to study the polyphony associated with the genre and style features of choral compositions for unaccompanied choir due not only to the general artistic and historical potential of choral culture in general, but also especially to its great importance in modern musical art. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time polyphony in the works of D. Shostakovich is analyzed from the standpoint of musicology and choral studies. The author's special contribution to the disclosure of the topic is the study of the works "Ten poems by revolutionary poets", "Two arrangements of Russian folk songs for unaccompanied choir", "Fidelity", which had not previously been the object of special research.
Stress Response of Juvenile Beluga,Huso huso,to Light and Tank Colors

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Effects of light and tank colors on stress response of juvenile beluga sturgeon, Huso huso, was investigated by the measurement of some sero-haematological parameters and carcass chemical analysis. The analysis was based on the responses of 64 specimens (initial weight 98.83 ± 1.42 g) reared under white, red, green, or blue light, and 48 specimens reared in white, black, or blue tanks, all for 12 weeks. Blue/green light and black tanks produced positive effects on cortisol that can be related to physiological condition and stress.
A NEW NICOTHOID COPEPOD PARASITIC ON MYSIDS FROM NORTHWESTERN NORTH AMERICA

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Hansenulus trebax, a new genus and species of Copepoda Nicothoidae, is described and recorded as an ectoparasite within the marsupia of four species of Mysidacea. Infested mysids were collected mostly from the Columbia River estuary. Two copepod-bearing mysids were collected near San Juan Island, Washington, and one each from near Kodiak Island, Alaska, and the eastern Bering Sea. A key is given for the three nicothoid genera whose species are parasites of mysids.
Iterative deformation calibration of a transmission flat via the ring-point support on a 300-mm-aperture vertical Fizeau interferometer

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In the development of a high-precision vertical Fizeau interferometer with a 300-mm aperture, the deformation of the transmission flat because of clamping and gravity must be considered. In this paper, we proposed a ring-point support scheme for the deformation calibration of a large-diameter transmission flat. The calibration theory of the ring-point support system with elastic deformation was derived. The changes in the surface and stress field of the transmission flat were analyzed quantitatively by finite element method modeling, leading to the optimization of the support structure. To validate the proposed calibration approach, we performed an absolute test of the transmission flat using a liquid reference. The test result was compared to a measurement of the Zygo interferometer demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed ring-point support design. Finally, with the iterative deformation calibration, the accuracy of the transmission flat reached λ/25 (Peak Valley, PV) for a 300-mm aperture.
Convergence of Carbon Dioxide Emissions: A Review of the Literature

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The objective of this paper is to review previous research on convergence of carbon dioxide emissions among countries. We discuss the key findings in this work, how the choices of model, data, statistical tests, etc. influence the results, and highlight some policy implications. The empirical research on convergence in per capita carbon dioxide emissions shows some evidence of convergence between developed (OECD) countries, while at the global level there appear to be relatively persistent gaps or divergence. These results are however sensitive to the choice of econometric approach and data set (e.g., the length of the time series). Still, the empirical basis for an egalitarian rule of equal per capita emissions in the design of global climate policy is not solid; it ignores the specific structural characteristics of countries such as climate, natural resource endowments, etc. The analysis therefore points to a need for more in-depth analyses of the structural determinants of carbon intensity (productivity) at the country level, as well as to additional research on the economic consequences of different types of equity principles (including combinations of such principles).

Precision breeding with genomic tools: A decade long journey ofmolecular breeding in rice

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Plant breeding helps in recombining and fixation of desirable alleles which enables the development of improved varieties with better productivity. Though classical plant breeding has contributed enormously in achieving genetic gains in different crops including rice, the challenges imposed by resource constraints as well as greater anticipated demand need better tools to meet the expectations. Molecular breeding which uses modern genomic tools integrated with plant breeding offers enormous potential for improvement of crop varieties. The present review focusses on the achievements of ICAR-IARI in molecular breeding in rice wherein as many as eight rice varieties were incorporated with genes governing resistance/tolerance to different traits and released for commercial cultivation in India. The various factors which enabled the successful integration of molecular breeding including development of infrastructure, human resources and the genetic and genomic resources have been discussed in detail. All the examples of translational research are from the marker assisted backcross breeding strategy, which limits the scope for achieving yield gains. In the foregoing discussion, the challenges and the opportunities for implementation of molecular breeding in rice to realize the full potential of these tools in plant breeding are discussed based on the decade long experience, which may be valuable for other crops as well.
Acute hemorrhage from a pyelocaliceal diverticulum of a native kidney in a renal transplant patient.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 28-year-old renal transplant patient developed a shock due to an acute bleeding from his right native kidney. An urgent nephrectomy was performed. Macroscopic and histological examination revealed a pyelocaliceal diverticulum as the cause of the hemorrhage. This rare event must be taken into account in every case of an unexplained acute renal bleeding.
Postnatal erythropoietin treatment mitigates neural cell loss after systemic prenatal hypoxic-ischemic injury

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Object Brain injury from preterm birth predisposes children to cerebral palsy, epilepsy, cognitive delay, and behavioral abnormalities. The CNS injury often begins before the early birth, which hinders diagnosis and concurrent treatment. Safe, effective postnatal interventions are urgently needed to minimize these chronic neurological deficits. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a pleiotropic neuroprotective cytokine, but the biological basis of its efficacy in the damaged developing brain remains unclear. Coordinated expression of EPO ligand and receptor expression occurs during CNS development to promote neural cell survival. The authors propose that prenatal third trimester global hypoxiaischemia disrupts the developmentally regulated expression of neural cell EPO signaling, and predisposes neural cells to death. Furthermore, the authors suggest that neonatal exogenous recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) administration can restore the mismatch of EPO ligand and receptor levels, and enhance neural cell survival. Methods Transient systemic hypoxia-ischemia (TSHI) on embryonic Day 18 in rats mimics human early-thirdtrimester placental insufficiency. This model was used to test the authors' hypothesis using a novel clinically relevant paradigm of prenatal injury on embryonic Day 18, neonatal systemic rhEPO administration initiated 4 days after injury on postnatal Day 1, and histological, biochemical, and functional analyses in neonatal, juvenile, and adult rats. Results The results showed that prenatal TSHI upregulates brain EPO receptors, but not EPO ligand. Sustained EPO receptor upregulation was pronounced on oligodendroglial lineage cells and neurons, neural cell populations particularly prone to loss from CNS injury due to preterm birth. Postnatal rhEPO administration after prenatal TSHI minimized histological damage and rescued oligodendrocytes and γ-aminobutyric acidergic interneurons. Myelin basic protein expression in adult rats after insult was reduced compared with sham controls, but could be restored to near normal levels by neonatal rhEPO treatment. Erythropoietin-treated TSHI rats performed significantly better than their saline-treated peers as adults in motor skills tests, and showed significant seizure threshold restoration using a pentylenetetrazole increasing-dose paradigm. Conclusions These data demonstrate that neonatal rhEPO administration in a novel clinically relevant paradigm initiated 4 days after a global prenatal hypoxic-ischemic insult in rats rescues neural cells, and induces lasting histological and functional improvement in adult rats.

HISTOPATHOLOGIC RESPONSE OF THE SKIN TO GELFOAM

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

OBTAINING hemostasis is a basic surgical technic and has been achieved by many mechanical means. The more recent advances in the management of capillary and venous oozing have been the utilization of coagulating agents such as thrombin with an absorbable substance which will serve as a matrix for the formation of a clot. During the recent world war the department of physical chemistry of the Harvard Medical School, through its large scale plasma fractionation program, produced a very significant contribution to hemostasis in the form of fibrin foam. Fibrin foam was utilized in experimental and neurosurgical procedures with gratifying results. It was found that fibrin foam soaked in thrombin possessed a hemostatic effect and produced a minimal amount of tissue reaction. Foreseeing the possibility of the nationwide program of human blood donations coming to an end at the cessation of hostilities, with a consequent reduction in the
Gene Therapy for Celebral Arterial Diseases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Although there has been steady progress towards cardiovascular gene therapy in humans, gene therapy for cerebrovascular disorders is still in its infancy. Several major steps, including gene transfer to cerebral arteries and alteration of gene expression, have been taken. There are several promising targets for cerebrovascular gene therapy, such as prevention of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage, stimulation of formation of collateral vessels to ischemic brain, and treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in carotid arteries. Some major obstacles, however, must be overcome before cerebrovascular gene therapy can be clinically used in humans. A key to cerebrovascular gene therapy is the development of safe and effective vectors for gene/nucleotide delivery. In addition, advances in understanding the biology of diseases and vectors will be of great value.

Study protocol for the BRAIN Training Trial: a randomised controlled trial of Balance, Resistance, And INterval training on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Epidemiological evidence suggests that both poor cardiovascular fitness and low muscle mass or strength markedly increase the rate of cognitive decline and incident dementia in older adults. Results from exercise trials for the improvement of cognition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have reported mixed results. This is possibly due to insufficient exercise intensities. The aim of the Balance, Resistance, And INterval (BRAIN) Training Trial is to determine the effects of two forms of exercise, high-intensity aerobic interval training (HIIT) and high-intensity power training (POWER) each compared with a sham exercise control group on cognition in older adults with MCI. Methods and analysis One hundred and sixty community-dwelling older (≥ 60 years) people with MCI have been randomised into the trial. Interventions are delivered supervised 2–3 days per week for 12 months. The primary outcome measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months is performance on a cognitive composite score measuring the executive domain calculated from a combination of computerised (NeuroTrax) and paper-and-pencil tests. Analyses will be performed via repeated measures linear mixed models and generalised linear mixed models of baseline, 6-month and 12-month time points, adjusted for baseline values and covariates selected a priori. Mixed models will be constructed to determine the interaction of GROUP × TIME. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval was obtained from the University of Sydney (HREC Ref.2017/368), University of Queensland (HREC Ref. 2017/HE000853), University of British Columbia (H16-03309), and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (V16-03309) Human Research Ethics. Dissemination will be via publications, conference presentations, newsletter articles, social media, talks to clinicians and consumers and meetings with health departments/managers. It is expected that communication of results will allow for the development of more effective evidence-based exercise prescription guidelines in this population while investigating the benefits of HIIT and POWER on subclinical markers of disease.

Residents' Attitudes Toward Casino Gambling in Kyrenia, North Cyprus: In Search of Theoretical Explanation?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study attempts to explore the residents' perception of casino gambling tourism in the coastal resort city of Kyrenia in north Cyprus (TRNC). After the closure of casinos in Turkey in the 1990s, Kyrenia became a spatial choice by the gambling industry and with the cooperation of the government in north Cyprus, the city has become home to the casino gambling tourism that has mushroomed in and around the city. The casino gambling tourism has been perceived as an agent of economic growth by the investors from outside and the indigenous policy makers inside. To explore the residents' attitudes towards gambling in their community, a survey questionnaire was administered to a non-randomly selected sample of residents in Kyrenia, and Spearman's Rho correlation tests were used to explore the relationships between community concerns, socioeconomic concerns, and community attachment as main constructs to evaluate residents' attitudes towards casino gambling. Overall, 32 items were used to explore linkages between the mentioned three constructs/community concerns, and casino gambling-related attitudes. Results indicate that the residents, by overwhelming majority, are negative about casino gambling in their community. Whilst residents are not in favor of banning casino gambling, they perceive casino gambling not as an engine of economic growth, but rather as a political and economic project that has bypassed their concerns and alienated their rights to be involved and to participate in the process. Therefore, the results revealed that residents have not been an equal partner in the process and have remained an outsider to casino gambling—that employed and was implemented as a “growth machine.” The results also indicate that the “growth machine” theory stands tall and explains the case of Kyrenia in comparison to the economic dependency, social exchange, and to the community attachment theories. The study also provides an insight into residents' attitudes toward the issue of growth and development within a community as a result of a specific form of tourism—casino gambling.
