Performance Analysis of DSSS System with Nonlinear FM Jammer

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Effects of three key factors of Nonlinear FM (NLFM) jammer in DSSS communication system are demonstrated in this paper. Simulation results shows that NLFM jammer will severely decline BER performance of DSSS communication. When central frequency of NLFM jammer is on the carrier frequency of DSSS and the bandwidth (BW) of the jammer is narrower than DSSS signal, the effect will be more grievous.

Effects of acoustic-phonetic access on audiovisual speech perception in children

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Visual speech helps compensate for degraded acoustic input, especially when redundancy between the accessible acoustic and visual cues is low. Recent findings indicate that children who are hard of hearing benefit more from visual speech than their peers with normal hearing, yet the two groups demonstrate similar speechreading ability. It is unclear whether this increased benefit reflects differences in auditory and multisensory development or differences in redundancy between the visual and acoustic cues available to each group. This study examines the extent to which acoustic-phonetic access (acoustic frequency content) influences auditory and audiovisual word recognition in children with normal hearing. Isolated word and word-in-sentence recognition accuracy are measured for auditory-only and audiovisual speech that were high-pass filtered and low-pass filtered with a 2 kHz cutoff frequency. Data collection is ongoing. We hypothesize that children will demonstrate greater audiovisual benefit when acoustic speech is low-pass filtered than when it is high-pass filtered, because low-frequency acoustic content is less redundant with visual speech cues than high-frequency acoustic content. These findings will elucidate whether acoustic-phonetic access can explain differences in audiovisual benefit between children with normal hearing and children who are hard of hearing.

Urban Political Development

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Because many aspects of urbanization are similar in different societies, urban politics provides a rich opportunity for comparative analysis. Most urban political studies tend to focus on government rather than politics. In the case of the books under review, however, political variables are offered as the key to understanding. Anton's work on Stockholm, Baker's on Lagos, Cohen's on Abidjan, Cornelius's on Mexico City, Elkin's on London, Fried's on Rome, Taubman's on cities in the U.S.S.R., and Wolpe's on Port Harcourt share a concern with the ability of political systems to deal with forces of urban growth and change. Studies of industrial countries try to account for the ability of systems to develop policies that control the urban environment, while studies of developing countries attempt to analyze patterns of resource distribution, social mobility, and class formation. Despite their flaws, gaps, and manifold differences, these studies are important steps in the right direction.
Southern Celts: An autoethnographic narrative journey

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Southern Celts, a practice-led PhD research project, explores how women and men with Irish and Scottish backgrounds live out their cultural connections with the homelands of Ireland and Scotland in the Pacific in Aotearoa/New Zealand. \nA narrative inquiry, it uses narrative and autoethnography as method and text, challenging the binary of a self/society split and the boundary between objective and \nsubjective (Reed-Danahay 1997, p.2). The project aims to gain understanding of individuals, cultures and societies by focusing on personal experience, the researcher’s and others, and applying ‘critical, analytical and interpretive \neyes’ (Chang 2008 p.49). With the researcher as ‘the epistemological and ontological nexus’ of the research \n(Spry 2001), this presentation looks at how postmodern, post structural understandings of the discursive construction of cultures and identities (Fong & Chuang 2004, Liu, Creanor, McIntosh, &Teaiwa 2005, Norton 2000, Weedon 1997 2004) have influenced the collection of 38 interviews, both ‘lived and told stories’ (Clandinin &Rosiek 2007) from around New Zealand and the creation of a \nbook of interviews which is the artefact created as a part of the PhD project. Integral to this is Writing as Method of inquiry (Richardson 2000, Richardson & St Pierre \n2005) and Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) three frames of Narrative Inquiry: time past, present and future, place, and the intersection of the personal and the social.
Capacitor voltage balancing in modular multilevel converters

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A universal capacitor voltage control method for converters built from series connected modules is presented. It fully exploits both the circulating currents and the common-mode voltage without affecting the phase current control. The controllability of the capacitor voltages in various such converters is investigated. It is found that the nonzero branch currents and terminal voltages are necessary for capacitor voltage balancing. (5 pages)
Visiting Friends and Relatives Travel: Unveiling Hidden Drivers Behind Festival Attendance and Experience

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

<p>This research note unveils a pivotal, yet underexplored, aspect of festival attendance: the impact of visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travel. Employing data from a 2019 attendee survey at the Taste of Little Italy Festival, Toronto, it reveals that 23.3% of respondents were engaged in VFR travel, exhibiting higher spending, yet often providing lower evaluations of their festival experience. The nuanced relationship between VFR travel, spending patterns, and festival experience opens a new avenue for exploration for festival researchers and practitioners. This note aims to encourage festival researchers and practitioners to consider the implications of VFR. A more comprehensive understanding of this topic could reveal strategies to engage this stable demand source, influencing not only event management strategies but also enhancing cultural engagement and community attachment. The note underscores the opportunity for festivals to engage residents and their visitors to optimize both economic and experiential outcomes.</p>
Examining the Role of Teachers' Professionalism in Mitigating Aggressive Behavior among University-Level Resilient Students

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The study focused on investigating the role of teachers' professionalism in mitigating aggressive behavior among university-level resilient students. The quantitative survey design was followed to conduct this study. The study sample consisted of 237 students with MPhil and PhD degrees (Edu). Three tools (The Brief Resilience Scale, the Aggression Questionnaire, and the Teachers Professionalism Scale) were used in this quantitative study to collect data. Tools were converted to Google Forms and disseminated for data collection. Data were analyzed by utilizing descriptive (percentage, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation, and Hays Process macro mediation analysis model-4). Results revealed that university students were normally resilient and, there was a significant moderating role of the resilience of students on the relationship between teachers' professionalism and the aggressive behavior of students. The study indicates that university teachers necessitate more interventions to enhance the resilience of graduate students and decrease the level of aggression.
Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and its effect on the prognostic value of the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) model for patients treated with targeted therapy (TT).

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

470 Background: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of host inflammation and appears to have prognostic value in many solid tumors. We have found in a pilot RCC study that a NLR > 2.5 was predictive of a lower likelihood of response to TT on a multivariable analysis. Here we aim to explore the added value of the NLR to improve the prognostic value of the established IMDC criteria (Heng et al JCO 2009). Methods: We included patients from 7 consortium sites where NLR data was available for patients treated with TT and compared NLR cutoff <= 2.5 vs. >2.5 (i.e. low vs. high NLR) and adjusted using proportional hazards regression for the known poor prognostic criteria (listed in Table). Results: Data from 859 patients were included. NLR values were: Mean 4.98, Median 3.51, Mode 2.5, 95%CI 1.42 – 14.0. Using Cutoff <=2.5 vs. >2.5 Median overall survival (OS) is 30.4 months (95%CI 24.9-37.0, n= 237) vs. 15.7 months (95%CI 13.0-17.2, n=622); log-rank p value <0.0001. If we adjust for all six IMDC poor prognosis criteria in a proportional hazards regression model: HR of death for high NLR is 1.506 (1.177-1.928) p=0.0011, demonstrating NLR is still an independent predictor of poor OS even after using IMDC criteria. Conclusions: The NLR is a simple clinical value and is independently associated with poor overall survival even after adjustment for IMDC factors, including neutrophilia. The updated data set will be presented. [Table: see text]
Fast Sampling in a Linear-Gaussian Inverse Problem

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We solve the inverse problem of deblurring a pixelized image of Jupiter using regularized deconvolution and by sample-based Bayesian inference. By efficiently sampling the marginal posterior distribution for hyperparameters, then the full conditional for the deblurred image, we find that we can evaluate the posterior mean faster than regularized inversion, when selection of the regularizing parameter is considered. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of sampling and inference that takes less compute time than regularized inversion in an inverse problems. Comparison to random-walk Metropolis-Hastings and block Gibbs MCMC shows that marginal then conditional sampling also outperforms these more common sampling algorithms, having better scaling with problem size. When problem-specific computations are feasible the asymptotic cost of an independent sample is one linear solve, implying that sample-based Bayesian inference may be performed directly over function spaces, when that limit exists.
Landscape Restoration Design of Guilin Lijiang River Basin Based on” City Betterment and Ecological Restoration”

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

As an important carrier of urban ecology, urban river channels have serious ecological problems that restrict the development of cities. Taking Lijiang River in Guilin as the research object, the field survey of the water system shape, water quality status, plant landscape and other aspects of the Lijiang River Basin was conducted to analyse its existing ecological problems. Based on the concept of “City Betterment and Ecological Restoration”, the Lijiang River Basin ecological restoration and landscape repair work will be carried out from four aspects: water quality management, construction of natural river shape, coastal vegetation landscape ecological restoration, and water system landscape optimization design, so as to achieve a virtuous cycle of water ecosystem and promote sustainable development of landscape in Lijiang River Basin.
Effect of dietary isoleucine level on growth, protein retention efficiency, haematological parameter, lysozyme activity and serum antioxidant status of fingerlingChanna punctatus(Bloch)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Isoleucine requirement of fingerling Channa punctatus (6.74 ± 0.09 g) was estimated by feeding seven trial diets (450 g/kg CP, 14.73 kJ/g DE) containing 3.8, 7.5, 11.3, 15.1, 19.3, 23.2 and 27.4 g/kg of isoleucine for 12 weeks. Growth and haematological parameters increased with the increasing concentrations of dietary isoleucine up to 16 g/kg. Carcass protein and fat increased significantly with the increasing concentrations of dietary isoleucine up to 16 g/kg and then stabilized. Moisture content showed reverse trend to that of carcass fat. Hepatosomatic index was found to be highest at 4 g/kg of dietary isoleucine. Viscerosomatic index and condition factor increased significantly with increasing levels of isoleucine up to 16 g/kg dry diet. Serum protein, lysozyme and superoxide dismutase activities were also found to increase significantly up to 16 g/kg dry diet. Significant reduction in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities was observed by increasing concentrations of dietary isoleucine up to 16 g/kg. Based on quadratic regression analysis of absolute weight gain, feed conversion ratio, protein retention and isoleucine retention efficiencies against varying concentrations of isoleucine, the optimum isoleucine requirement ranging between 17.95 and 18.39 g/kg dry diet, corresponding to 39.88–40.86 g/kg dietary protein, is recommended for maximizing growth of C. punctatus.
Protective effects of some statins on epileptogenesis and depressive‐like behavior in WAG/Rij rats, a genetic animal model of absence epilepsy

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Summary Objective Statins (3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐coenzyme A [ HMG ‐CoA] reductase inhibitors) exert cholesterol‐independent pleiotropic effects that include antithrombotic, antiinflammatory, and antioxidative properties. Moreover, both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown neuroprotective, antiseizure, and antiexcitotoxic effects of statins, suggesting their potential role in the treatment of neurologic diseases. Only a few studies have investigated whether statins modulate absence seizure activity and epileptogenesis. Methods We investigated the effects of atorvastatin (5 and 10 mg/kg/day), simvastatin (10 mg/kg/day), and pravastatin (10 and 30 mg/kg/day), given orally for 17 consecutive weeks (starting at 45 days of age), on the development of absence seizures (electroencephalography [ EEG] recordings), depressive‐like behavior (forced swimming test [ FST] ), and anxiety levels (open field test [ OF] ) in Wistar Albino Glaxo/Rijswijk rats (WAG/Rij) rats at the age of 6 months (1 month after suspension). WAG/Rij rats are a genetic animal model of absence epilepsy, epileptogenesis, and mild‐depression comorbidity. The effects of statins were also studied after acute intraperitoneal injection for 4 h after administration of various doses in 6‐months‐old rats. Plasma cholesterol levels were measured throughout drug treatment. Results We found that early long‐term statin treatment possesses antiepileptogenic properties, reduced immobility time in the FST, and reduced anxiety in the OF , whereas they were not effective against established absence seizures when acutely administered. The observed effects were not related to changes in plasma cholesterol levels, which remained unchanged during drug treatment. Significance Our results suggest that statins administration might be a possible intervention and promising strategy for preventing the epileptogenesis and/or behavioral comorbidity.

Role of the kurtosis metric in evaluating hearing trauma from complex noise exposures—From animal experiments to human applications

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A number of animal experiments and epidemiologic studies in humans have demonstrated that current noise standard underestimated hearing trauma by complex noise. While energy and exposure duration are necessary metrics they are not sufficient to evaluate the hearing hazard from complex noise exposure. The temporal distribution of energy is an important factor in evaluating NIHL. Kurtosis incorporates in a single metric all the temporal variables known to affect hearing (i.e., peak, inter-peak interval, and transient duration histogram) that makes kurtosis as one of the candidate metrics. Our previous animal studies show that both kurtosis and energy are necessary to evaluate the hazard posed to hearing by a complex noise exposure. In this study, we focus on how to use the knowledge from animal model into humans. Methods are presented to solve the following questions: (1) How to calculate the kurtosis? (2) What is the relation between kurtosis and the hearing trauma? (3) How to extract a single number from the distribution of kurtosis that would best correlate with noise trauma in real industrial noise environments? Human data study shows that the kurtosis metric may be a reasonable candidate for evaluating the risk of hearing trauma complex noise exposures.

Sexual behaviors: study in the youth

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize sexual behaviors in a sample of adolescents and youth. Methods: An analytical descriptive study using a questionnaire about sexual behaviors, adapted from the World Health Organization. It was distributed to students from a Portuguese city aged 14-24 years, during two months. Two age groups were defined: G1 - students aged 14-19 years; G2 - aged 20-24 years. Results: The sample included 2,369 students, 61% females and 70% in G1. The mean age of first sexual intercourse was 16.4±1.8 years; 93% used some contraceptive method in the first sexual intercourse. Out of those who did not use contraception in the first sexual intercourse, 83% were in G1 (p<0.001). Emergency contraception was used at least once by 54% (63% in G2, p<0.001). Among those who had unprotected sexual intercourses, 9% were under the influence of alcohol, 53.6% were female and 53.4% were in G2 (p<0.001). Homosexual contacts occurred in 21% of cases; in that, 62% in G1 and 84% among females (p<0.001). Conclusion: The use of contraceptionin the first sexual intercourse was common in our sample. However, the number of adolescents not using any contraceptive method in subsequent sexual intercourses, and the high percentage of them who consider it unnecessary, are a concern. Unprotected sexual intercourses, as well as unplanned intercourses and under influence of alcohol or drugs, especially in the youngest, urge the need for intervention regarding sexual education.
Lower prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in vegetarian men compared with omnivores

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is diagnosed when the TSH level is elevated above the reference range (0.4-4.5 µUl/mL) and free T4 levels remain within the normal serum range (0.7-1.7 ng/dL).There are many studies showing that a vegetarian dietary pattern could bring benefits at multiple levels.The objective of this study was to investigate the association between dietary pattern and thyroid hormones, as well as to compare the prevalence of SCH among apparently healthy vegetarian (VEG) and omnivorous (OMN) male individuals.Methods: The study was based on data from two 24-hour dietary recalls, biochemical parameters, and anthropometry obtained from 88 individuals VEG (n = 44) and OMN (n = 44) male, between 35 and 71 years of age, who were participants in the CARVOS study. Results:The VEG group was found to have TSH values significantly lower than the values found in the OMN group (p = 0.049).The prevalence of SCH was 6 times higher in the OMN group when compared to the VEG values (13% OMN versus 2.3% VEG, p = 0.039), it was confirmed by multiple logistic regression, in which the OMN group was more likely to have SCH. Conclusion:The VEG group obtained significantly lower TSH values and were significantly less likely to have SCH compared with those who follow a OMN dietary pattern.
