Stochastic Non-homogeneous Arnoldi Method for Analysis of On-Chip Power Grid Networks under Process Variations

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a Stochastic Non-Homogeneous ARnoldi (SNHAR) method is proposed for the analysis of the on-chip power grid networks in the presence of process variations. In SNHAR method, the polynomial chaos based stochastic method is employed to handle the variations of power grids. Different from the existing StoEKS method which uses extended Krylov Subspace (EKS) method to compute the coefficients of the polynomial chaos, a computation-efficient and numerically stable Non-Homogeneous ARnoldi (NHAR) method is employed in SNHAR method to compute the coefficients of the polynomial chaos. Compared with EKS method, NHAR method has superior numerical stability and can achieve remarkably higher accuracy with even lower computational cost. As a result, SNHAR can capture the stochastic characteristics of the on-chip power grid networks with higher accuracy, but even lower computational cost than StoEKS.

ADVANCES IN UTILIZATION OF WASTEWATER IN AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE: A TECHNICAL NOTE

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper has endeavoured to produce a technical note on the hazards that humans and the environment face with the burden of wastewater irrigation on crops and the soil. Reports based on past and present issues related to wastewater used in irrigation of crops and the health implications when it is applied in the arable field for irrigating crops have been considered broadly. It is conclusive that wastewater has polluted and contaminated crops and soil when not properly treated before being applied for irrigation purposes. The crop effects and advantages of wastewater reuse in agriculture are of extensive application because of a lack of water in numerous parts of the world. Besides, the impacts of wastewater systems should be assessed not only from the perspective of social, monetary and natural viewpoints, but in addition from the sustainable improvement point of view; thus this paper surveyed the sustainability, benefits, impediments, developments and innovations of using the wastewater in water systems for agriculture. Wastewater treatment must be further advanced to address developing concerns such as amount and quality. More effective decentralized wastewater administration frameworks must be set up to provide the approach to abridge the cost of wastewater treatment. Finally, we require suitable strategies to catch and convey water, secure soil, reuse wastewater and streamline its administration. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Consolidation of freshly deposited cohesive and noncohesive sediment: Particle-resolved simulations

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

We analyze the consolidation of freshly deposited cohesive and non-cohesive sediment by means of particle-resolved direct Navier-Stokes simulations based on the Immersed Boundary Method. The computational model is parameterized by material properties and does not involve any arbitrary calibrations. We obtain the stress balance of the fluid-particle mixture from first principles and link it to the classical effective stress concept. The detailed datasets obtained from our simulations allow us to evaluate all terms of the derived stress balance. We compare the settling of cohesive sediment to its non-cohesive counterpart, which corresponds to the settling of the individual primary particles. The simulation results yield a complete parameterization of the Gibson equation, which has been the method of choice to analyze self-weight consolidation.

Increased platelet adhesiveness in recurrent venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Phenylbutazone-induced Pericarditis-Shafar BRff= 797 Lietman and Bywaters (1963).Clinical diagnosis was estab- lished in 20 (7%) of a series of 285 cases.Common concomitant features were a skin rash, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, pulmonary disease, and amyloid disease.The clinical course of this form of pericarditis is usually short and of a benign nature.A further form which merits mention in the present context is allergic pericarditis.Clarkson, McCredie, and Fleischl (1964) describe an example in which extensive urticaria was associated with clinical evidence of pericarditis and with characteristic E.C.G. changes ; signs of a pericardial effusion were also evident in the x-ray picture.Treatment consisted in antihistamine and symptomatic drugs, and recovery was complete.The pericardium must be considered as a structure in which allergic phenomena may occur (Wolff and Grunfeld, 1963).Recognition of the concept of drug-induced and hypersensitivity reactions in the aetiology of pericarditis may help to identify some of the 50% or so of those cases of pericarditis that are labelled " idiopathic." SummaryIn the elucidation of pericarditis of undetermined origin the possibility of a drug-induced state merits consideration.This and other forms of iatrogenic pericarditis are reviewed.The report of an example attributed to phenylbutazone administration is presented; corticosteroid therapy appeared to be life- saving.Differentiation from the pericarditis of rheumatoid disease is emphasized.Allergic pericarditis is a distinct entity.
A Study on the Construct Validity of the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE)

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study aimed to test the construct validity of three different forms of the Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale.The Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE), the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale-Revised (BFNE-II) and the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale-Straightforward (BFNE-S) were applied to a group of 652 people in total, including 339 females, 313 males, 320 university students, and 332 high school students.To examine the factor structure of the scales, confirmatory factor analysis was performed.Item analysis were conducted to compare the psychometric properties of straightforwardly scored and reverse-scored items.To investigate the internal consistency coefficients of the scales, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were calculated.As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed for three different forms of the scale, it was found that the BFNE did not fit well to a two-factor model, while the BFNE-II and BFNE-S fit well to a single-factor model.The item analyses conducted for three different forms, and the calculated internal consistency coefficients also revealed that the BFNE-II and BFNE-S had better psychometric properties than the BFNE.These findings are in parallel with the findings obtained in studies conducted on the construct validity of the original English version of the BFNE in the last 15 years.Based on these findings, it was concluded that BFNE-S is the appropriate tool to measure the fear of negative evaluation of high school and university students in Turkey due to its theoretically based, robust factor structure and its high internal consistency coefficient despite consisting of fewer items.
Computational Simulation of Epidemiological Models with Variable Rates on Complex Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The networks have been the focus of intensive study in recent years, because of their flexibility and applicability in a wide range of fields. This thesis delves into the basic understanding of networks, especially those described as complex, to examine their role in the context of epidemiology. The structure of contact networks and time dependence in recovery rates are often referred as aspects that alter the dynamics of infectious disease transmission, but classical epidemiological models assume homogeneous mixing and constant recovery rates, which idealize real-world processes. To overcome these limitations, we address the impact of complex network topologies and variable recovery rates on epidemic dynamics using two statistically exact algorithms: the Gillespie algorithm and the Shortest-Path Kinetic Monte Carlo (SPKMC) algorithm. These methods were applied to the classic Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) and Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) epidemiological models to simulate the disease spread under different network structures and recovery rates close to realistic ones. The analysis described here highlights how these factors shape infectious disease time series, yielding deeper insights into the interplay between network topology and recovery time distributions.
Learning Subclass Representations for Visually-varied Image Classification

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we present a subclass-representation approach that predicts the probability of a social image belonging to one particular class. We explore the co-occurrence of user-contributed tags to find subclasses with a strong connection to the top level class. We then project each image on to the resulting subclass space to generate a subclass representation for the image. The novelty of the approach is that subclass representations make use of not only the content of the photos themselves, but also information on the co-occurrence of their tags, which determines membership in both subclasses and top-level classes. The novelty is also that the images are classified into smaller classes, which have a chance of being more visually stable and easier to model. These subclasses are used as a latent space and images are represented in this space by their probability of relatedness to all of the subclasses. In contrast to approaches directly modeling each top-level class based on the image content, the proposed method can exploit more information for visually diverse classes. The approach is evaluated on a set of $2$ million photos with 10 classes, released by the Multimedia 2013 Yahoo! Large-scale Flickr-tag Image Classification Grand Challenge. Experiments show that the proposed system delivers sound performance for visually diverse classes compared with methods that directly model top classes.
Toxicity of Iron-Oxide Nano-Particles on the Hematology of Cyprinus carpio

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The therapeutic potency of plants has been known for ages and the ability to divulge their biological activity is an area of great interest.Citrus lemon is traditionally used as an antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent.This study intended to determine the potential role of lemon peel oil in neurobehavioral function and oxidative stress.Rats were treated with lemon peel oil at a dose of 0.7, 1.4, 2.1, 2.7, 3.5 g/kg for 14 days.Results showed that lemon peel oil at low doses has antidepressant and anxiolytic activity.Muscular strength was also improved at low doses.The brain antioxidant defense enzymes were also enhanced whereas plasma corticosterone levels were significantly decreased following the administration of a low dose of lemon peel oil.However, rats administered with higher doses of lemon peel oil that act as prooxidants showed depression and anxiety-like effects, and impaired muscular strength.Altered brain antioxidant enzyme activity and elevated corticosterone in plasma were also observed in rats treated with a high dose of lemon peel oil.The present study demonstrates that a low dose of lemon peel oil has a potential therapeutic effect on psychological functions following 14 days of oral administration in rats.Lemon peel oil could be considered for therapeutic use against deleterious effects of oxidative stress, which a low dose of lemon peel oil dramatically reduced in rats.
Impact of Vector Priming on the Immunogenicity of RecombinantSalmonellaVaccines

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT There are conflicting reports concerning the impact of prior vector priming on the immunogenicity of recombinant- Salmonella -based vaccines. A comparison of experimental protocols identified two variables which might account for this inconsistency: the potential of the vector strain to colonize the murine gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and the nature of the foreign antigen subsequently delivered by the recombinant Salmonella construct. The former was investigated by constructing an aroA mutant of the Salmonella enterica serovar Stanley vector previously used in our laboratory. Although the introduction of an aroA mutation had surprisingly little effect on GALT colonization, it did reduce the strength of antilipopolysaccharide (anti-LPS) antibody responses and the impact of vector priming. Studies were also performed to ascertain the extent to which any observed hyporesponsiveness consequent upon vector priming might be determined by the characteristics of the foreign antigen. S. enterica serovar Stanley was used to deliver either of two Escherichia coli antigens, K88 pilus protein or the LT-B toxin subunit, to vector-primed mice. Both serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and intestinal IgA responses to K88 were completely abolished, and those to LT-B were significantly reduced, as a consequence of vector priming. When similar experiments were performed with an aroA S. enterica serovar Dublin vector, responses to K88 were significantly reduced but those to LT-B were unaffected by vector priming. Paradoxically, a priming infection with this vector induced stronger anti-LPS antibody responses but was less likely to elicit a state of hyporesponsiveness to subsequently presented foreign antigen. The impact of vector priming thus depends on both the Salmonella strain used and the nature of the foreign antigen, but our present data strengthen concerns that preexisting antivector immunity represents a serious threat to the Salmonella -based vaccine strategy.
Diagnosis and Exercise Rehabilitation of Knee Joint Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Based on 3D-CT Reconstruction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The joint capsule of the knee joint is attached to the edges of various articular surfaces and is thin and loose. Therefore, ligament reinforcement is needed to protect the knee joint and increase the stability of the joint. It plays a vital role in human activities. In this paper, a 3D-CT three-dimensional reconstruction method is used to reconstruct the ACL natural femoral imprint and double-bone tract. The relative positional relationship between the two center points is compared, and the law is summarized to guide the improvement of ACL anatomic double-beam reconstruction under arthroscopy. The 3D reconstruction results suggest that the bone layer in the anterior medial portion is the thickest, forming a peak, and the thickness of the bone layer in the posterior medial portion gradually decreases in a stepwise manner. The entire bone tissue in the anterior medial portion and posterior medial portion is integrated into one body. The tissues are connected as a whole, and the thickness is relatively uniform. The two parts of the bone tissues are not connected. The CF tissue was inserted into the bone tissue in a zigzag pattern. The changes of CF tissues in the anterior medial and posteromedial CF tissues were similar, and they were distributed stepwise from the inside to the outside. According to the bone and CF spatial structure and changing rules, ACL is divided into medial and lateral beams. According to this study, it can be summarized that (1) 3D reconstruction can clearly reconstruct the natural footprint of ACL femoral stops and postoperative osseous position and (2) 3D reconstruction can be used to evaluate the position of osseous postoperative ACL anatomic double-beam reconstruction. Arthroscopy double-beam reconstruction of ACL is instructive.
Involvement of the mitochondrion respiratory chain in the synergy achieved by treatment of human ovarian carcinoma cell lines with both tumor necrosis factor-alpha and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum.

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

These results demonstrated that both TNF-alpha and CDDP rapidly stimulate the induction of free radicals but a lag of several hours was necessary to initiate the irreversible program of cell death. Further, the studies demonstrated that synergy and reversal of drug resistance in ovarian tumor cells by TNF-alpha and CDDP, used in combination, share the same pathway of cytotoxicity as that mediated by TNF-alpha or CDDP used as a single agent.

Money talks? The motivational mechanisms of base pay on well‐being and work performance

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Whether compensation serves as a motivational resource for employees is still a debated subject. It has been suggested that the effect of pay on motivation could be contingent on the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs as outlined by self‐determination theory. The current research explored the role of amount of base pay as well as pay fairness discrepancy in relation to basic psychological need satisfaction, autonomous work motivation and, in turn, psychological well‐being (i.e., vigor and emotional exhaustion), turnover intentions, and work performance. Managerial need support was also included in the model, so its mechanisms and its effects on the outcomes could be measured against those of pay. Using a combination of archival data and employees' self‐reports from 593 Norwegian workers, results revealed that amount of base pay did not predict satisfaction of any of the basic needs, pay fairness discrepancy negatively predicted satisfaction of the needs for autonomy and relatedness and positively predicted satisfaction of the need for competence, whereas managerial need support significantly predicted satisfaction of all three needs. While there was no significant direct relation from amount of base pay to any of the outcomes, results showed a significant direct relation from managerial need support to psychological well‐being (positive to vigor and negative to emotional exhaustion) and turnover intentions (negative). There was also a significant direct positive relation from pay fairness discrepancy to turnover intentions.
Database Concept for Integrated Navigation Information System

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Navigation information is necessary for safe and efficient ship handling. Ship navigators must pick up manually necessary navigation information from a vast amount of them. In this paper, we propose automatic retrieval systems for Japanese nautical charts and sailing directions using an engineering work station (EWS), and develop its prototype. These systems are composed of general purpose database, unified retrieval algorithm and user-friendly interface. The database of nautical charts retrieval system is composed nautical charts attribute data of 781 sheets of Japanese nautical charts in Japan adjacent waters. When the system operator inputs main points of departure, arrival and altering points on the general chart in the EWS's graphic display by its mouse pointer device, the system retrieves necessary charts for the inputted course line. The database for sailing direction retrieval system is composed of 'Seto Inland Sea' sailing direction. The mentioned items of sailing direction are classified to 2,000 areas and items. When the system operator selects the item of operation menus in the graphic display, the system can retrieve and show the necessary information of the sailing direction in the graphic display. When the operators use these systems, they can reduce the operation time compared with manual operation. Of course, they can get necessary navigation information from the database without omission.
