Designing a Relief Distribution Network under Uncertain Situation: Preparedness in Responding to Disaster

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

None can predict a disaster precisely: where, when, and how big a disaster will strike one area. This situation leads to uncertainty in such as required demand and supply availabilities. To an area that has been identified threatening by a natural hazard, a possible disaster scenario may compile. Since time is vital in disaster response operations, developing strategies to speed up emergency response is necessitated. This study is aimed to develop a stochastic model for a location-allocation problem in responding to a forecasted disaster. Our stochastic approach recommends a number and locations of local distribution centers (LDCs) that are required to be set up in the initial stage of the response phase and a number of relief items that will be dispatched to survivors in the affected areas through the proposed relief network. A mixed delivery strategy is applied in a 3-tier of a relief distribution network encompassing warehouses, LDCs, and shelters. This strategy provides the affected people in some of the shelters to receive relief items directly from nearby warehouses, while the remaining shelters will get supplies indirectly through the opened LDCs. Comparing to the indirect strategy that shelters are permitted to receive aid goods only through LDCs, the proposed mixed delivery strategy provides more efficient and effective relief distribution. The probable tsunami in West Sumatra, Indonesia, known as Mentawai Megathrust, is employed to illustrate the developed model. The model will be beneficial for disaster managers to improve the performance of a disaster relief operation.
A Uniformly Distributed Statistic on a Class of Lattice

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

To present this statistic, the following notions are relevant: a path is balanced if its terminal vertex lies on the line of slope 1 through its initial vertex. A path is subdiagonal if it never rises above the line of slope 1 through its initial vertex, and analogously for superdiagonal. A subpath of a path ss is of course a subsequence of consecutive steps of ss. Since subpaths that do not start at the origin will arise, the reader should not confuse a the electronic journal of combinatorics 11 (2004), #R82 1 path&apos;s inherent property of being subdiagonal with its placement relative to the diagonal line y = x.
An Improved Design of Dipole Antenna Array for Base Station Applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To meet the high requirements of base station antennas, such as broadband, wide beamwidth and high gain, an improved dipole antenna array is proposed.Generally, the working frequency range of the conventional unidirectional dipole element cannot cover the 2G, 3G and 4G band (1.71-2.69GHz)at the same time.To solve this problem, two parasitic dipoles are added on both sides of the conventional dipole.The simulated results show that the return loss of the improved element is less than -10dB from 1.62GHz to 2.85GHz, which has a complete coverage of 2G, 3G and 4G band.And its beamwidth is more than 120° in the whole band.Apart from it, the gain of the element is levelling out at around 6.9dBi.To enhance the gain further, a 1×4 antenna array is designed and it can obtain a gain of more than 11.7dBi.Therefore, the proposed array is more profitable for the wireless mobile communication systems.

Factually, there is a dualism in the judge's decisions responding to bankruptcy applications by workers, so that the Supreme Court Circular Letter Number 2 of 2019 was formed. This research aims to analyze the existence of legal problems in terms of substance in the Supreme Court Circular Letter Number 2 of 2019. This legal research is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of the research concluded that there are several legal problems on the Supreme Court Circular, including the incompatibility of the concept of bankruptcy with the provisions of legislation in the field of bankruptcy, provisions that conflict with the absolute authority of the Industrial Relations Court and the Commercial Court, and the existence of a legal vacuum in the provisions of Supreme Court Circular Letter Number 2 of 2019.
Exploring the relation between videogame players and supporting virtual entities : a pilot study

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Os videojogos têm sido uma área fascinante desde a sua criação, provenientes de simples conceitos como duas barras que ressaltam um ponto pelo ecrã e uma bola amarela que come pequenos pontos com uma guarnição de fruta, eventualmente transformando-se em universos virtuais totalmente desenvolvidos. O desenvolvimento tecnológico e a evolução do conteúdo de jogos fundaram uma nova era de entretenimento, com o surgimento de novos mundos contendo uma quantidade quase infindável de novas possibilidades e experiências. Estes mundos, ao contrário de quaisquer outros media anteriores, não só imergem o/a jogador/a numa realidade totalmente diferente como também lhe dão a habilidade de realmente interagir e possivelmente alterar o mundo virtual, tendo no entanto algumas restrições que podem tanto ser fruto de limitações tecnológicas, como do contexto do jogo, entre outras. Existem variados fatores relevantes que definem o sucesso de um videojogo e a qualidade da experiência de jogo como um todo; a ligação que o jogador obtém com as construções virtuais que povoam o mundo do jogo é um destes fatores, tendo principal destaque na existência do fenómeno conhecido como “Parasocial Interaction” (PSI), traduzido em Português como “Interação Parassocial”. Este fenómeno está no núcleo do seguinte projeto, que pretende trabalhar a teoria PSI aplicada a videojogos, através de uma nova abordagem que não estuda a relação entre o/a jogador/a e a personagem que este/a identifica como a sua, mas entre o/a jogador/a e as restantes personagens, utilizando uma abordagem exploratória. De forma a validar esta nova abordagem, estudar esta relação e compreender que fatores podem ser mais propensos para o seu desenvolvimento, dois métodos de recolher informação foram planeados: um questionário online para abordagem mais ampla, e sessões de jogo para uma abordagem mais profunda. O questionário online é composto por um total de 25 questões, tendo sido adaptado da componente social de um questionário já existente, presente no trabalho de IJsselsteijn, W.A., de Kort, Y.A.W. & Poels, K. (2008); 17 destas questões são referentes à presença de personagens virtuais e os seus efeitos, com as restantes questões servindo como questões de controlo. Esta componente contou com a participação de 33 indivíduos. As sessões de jogo teriam a duração individual de uma hora, nas quais o participante joga livremente o jogo “South Park™: The Stick of Truth™”, tendo as ações, reações e opiniões gravadas para futura análise qualitativa. Os resultados obtidos da análise das respostas dos participantes no questionário online indicam que os jogadores desenvolvem relacionamentos com as personagens secundárias do jogo, indicando ainda que estas personagens exercem alguma pressão social sobre o jogador, influenciando as ações e até a sua disposição, com o género de jogo “RPG” aparentando ser o género que mais facilita a criação de relações parassociais.

Autecological studies of Drosera linearis, a threatened sundew species

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The linear-leaf sundew has been extirpated from several stations at the southern edge of Its range. Cedarburg Bog is believed to harbor the largest of the remaining southern colonies of this species. Drosera linearis has a lower reproductive output at Cedarburg Bog than at other sites, and produces fewer seeds per plant than the three sundew species which share its range. The population studied at Cedarburg Bog declined in population size and reproductive output from 1980 to 1982, and revealed characteristics associated with high rates of local extinction. Populations experienced rapid turnover of individuals, and population size was closely coupled to the size of the previous year's seed crop. Sustained flooding in the flarks of the patterned fen further decreased population stability. The species may have persisted at Cedarburg Bog because the patterned fen is sufficiently large to allow the recolonization rate to keep pace with the rate of local extinction.

Optically Controlled Construction of Three‐Dimensional Protein Arrays

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Protein crystallization is an important tool for structural biology and nanostructure preparation. Here, we report on kinetic pathway‐dependent protein crystals that are controlled by light. Photo‐responsive crystallites are obtained by complexing the model proteins with cationic azobenzene dyes. The crystalline state is readily switched to a dispersed phase under ultraviolet light and restored by subsequent visible‐light illumination. The switching can be reversibly repeated for multiple cycles without noticeable structure deterioration. Importantly, the photo‐treatment not only significantly increases the crystallinity, but creates crystallites at conditions where no ordered lattices are observed upon directly mixing the components. Further control over the azobenzene isomerization kinetics produces protein single crystals of up to ≈50 μm. This approach offers an intriguing method to fabricate metamaterials and study optically controlled crystallization.
The Expression Pattern of Surface Markers in Canine Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

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

The influence of cultivation on the expression pattern of canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cAD-MSCs) surface markers, contributing to, among others, the promotion of growth, proliferation, differentiation and immunomodulatory mechanisms of an excellent therapeutic, is still unknown. To fill the gap, we investigated CD90, CD44, CD73, CD29, CD271, CD105, CD45 and CD14 patterns of expression at the protein level with flow cytometry and mRNA level using a real-time polymerase chain reaction array. Gentle variations of expression occurred during cultivation, along with increased CD90, CD44 and CD29 expression, low and decreasing CD271 and CD73 expression and a decrease of initially high CD105. As expected, CD45 and CD14 were not expressed by cAD-MSCs. Interestingly, we discovered a significant decrease of CD73 expression, compared to early (P1–P3) to late (P4–P6) passages, although the CD73 gene expression was found to be stable. The percentage of positive cells was found to be higher for all positive markers up to P4. As CD73′s one important feature is a modulation from a pro-inflammatory environment to an anti-inflammatory milieu, the expression of CD73 in our conditions indicate the need to consider the time cells spend in vitro before being transplanted into patients, since it could impact their favourable therapeutical properties.
Extruded Enzyme-Added Corn Improves the Growth Performance, Intestinal Function, and Microbiome of Weaning Piglets

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of extruded corn with added amylase under different moisture conditions on the growth performance, intestinal function, and microbiome of weaning piglets. Fourty-eight 24-day-old weaning piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire, weaned at 22 ± 1 d) with an initial body weight of 6.76 ± 0.15 kg were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments with six replicates per treatment and two pigs per replicate: (1) NL (adding 7.5% water before corn extrusion, negative treatment with low moisture); (2) NH (adding 15.0% water before corn extrusion, negative treatment with high moisture); (3) PL (adding 7.5% water and 4 kg/t α-amylase before corn extrusion, positive treatment with low moisture); and (4) PH (adding 15% water and 4 kg/t α-amylase before corn extrusion, positive treatment with high moisture). Results showed that amylase supplementation (4 vs. 0 kg/t) increased the contents of small molecular oligosaccharides of extruded corn (p < 0.05). Amylase supplementation significantly improved the average daily feed intake, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter, crude protein, gross energy, crude fat, ash, phosphorus, and calcium, and also increased the activities of jejunal trypsin, α-amylase, lipase, sucrase, maltase, γ-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase activities, improved the duodenal, jejunal and ileal morphology, and increased the relative mRNA expressions of the ZO-1, OCLN, SGLT1, and GLUT2 genes in the jejunum (p < 0.05), whereas it decreased the contents of isobutyric acid in cecal digesta, as well as acetic acid and isobutyric acid in colonic digesta (p < 0.05). Moreover, the linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) showed that piglets fed extruded corn with added enzymes contained less intestinal pathogenic bacteria, such as Holdemanella and Desulfovibrio, compared with piglets fed just extruded corn. In summary, the results of the present study indicated that the supplementation of α-amylase during the conditioning and extruding process of corn increased the small molecular oligosaccharide content of corn starch. Moreover, piglets receiving extruded enzyme-added corn had better growth performance, which was associated with the improved intestinal digestive and absorptive function, as well as the intestinal microbiome.
Reaction Mechanism of Pentene Skeletal Isomerization on Zeolites

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The microcosmic interaction mechanism of pentene skeletal isomerization on zeolites was studied by the density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level.The reaction trajectories were determined by the intrinsic reaction coordinate(IRC) methods.The results indicate that the skeletal isomerization of pentene can proceed by two kinds of mechanisms:the alkoxide intermediate mechanism and methylcyclopropane-like intermediate mechanism.The alkoxide intermediate mechanism involves two reaction pathways:methyl shift and ethyl shift.Accordingly,the overall skeletal isomerization of pentene has three reaction pathways.Both the methyl and ethyl shift mechanisms consist of three elementary steps.The rate determining steps are the shift of the methyl group and the shift of the ethyl group,respectively.The corresponding activation barriers are nearly equivalent(206.17 and 207.31 kJ·mol-1,respectively),indicating that two reaction pathways compete between each other.The methylcyclopropane-like intermediate mechanism includes two elementary steps:the torsion of the carbon chain and the methyl shift.This intermediate has highly ionic character and is a high energy species.The rate determining step is the torsion of the carbon chain,and its activation barrier is 147.93 kJ·mol-1.This value obviously is lower than those of the methyl and ethyl shift process,implying that the methylcyclopropane-like intermediate pathway occurs more easily.
Rewarding touch limits lifespan through neural to intestinal signaling

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

In multicellular organisms, sensory perception affects many aspects of behavior and physiology. Perception of environmental stressors like food scarcity often leads to physiological changes that promote survival and slow aging. However, recent work shows that perception of attractive food smells can block the health benefits of dietary restriction in multiple model organisms. While it is known that sensory perception and cell nonautonomous signaling can modulate health and longevity, our knowledge of the specific sensory cues and mechanistic pathways that define this signaling is still limited. Here we find that the sense of touch interacts with nutritional state to modulate lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans . Worms subjected to dietary restriction are shorter-lived when they perceive tactile stimuli that mimic bacterial food and/or protective soil. Touch modulation of dietary restriction requires putative mechanoreceptor proteins, the neurotransmitters dopamine and tyramine/adrenaline, and the neuropeptides INS-11 and GnRH. Ultimately, the touch circuit regulates the longevity effectors DAF-2/IGF1R and FMO-2/FMO5. These results establish a physiological touch circuit and connect neural reward pathways to the growth and reproductive axes. Finding that texture mechanosensation can modulate longevity suggests a role for touch in lifespan.
Exploring the written feedback dialogue: a research, learning and teaching practice

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The final paper of this Special Issue on Exploratory Practice (EP) is another illustration of the potential of EP for doctoral research. More importantly, like the preceding paper by Gunn it emphasizes learner as well as teacher understanding, and, most importantly, it also explores ‘quality’ in interpersonal relationships. This paper reports on research, conducted in an EFL Academic Writing context, about a written dialogue between a teacher and her learners. This dialogue consists of the learners’ written text, the teacher’s written feedback and the ongoing responses that ensue from this initial exchange. Most past research into teachers’ written comments on student-writers’ work has examined quantitatively either the teachers’ or the learners’ perspective, and has emphasized the outcomes of the learners’ revision process. A comprehensive analysis of the intentions and interpretations of the exchange from both the teacher’s and the learners’ perspective, as well as of the dynamic nature of the dialogue within its full pedagogical context, has not yet been done. It was hoped that such an analysis could lead to some generalizations which, in turn, could lead to recommendations for improving pedagogical practice. However, what began as a quest for a theory that could inspire guidelines for teacher effectiveness became a quest for an understanding of the conditions under which effectiveness could best be achieved. In EP terms, these conditions represent life in the classroom and the quest illustrates the aim of teacher research: to strive toward improving the quality of the life that will enable more effective use of the feedback dialogue as a crucial element in the writing process. The paper begins by inserting the current research into the context of qualitative research literature, leading directly to EP principles. Reporting on the research itself, it shows how some of the principles were manifested in the research practices. The findings reveal that it is precisely through dialogue (the written exchange as a social enterprise) between the participants in the learning-teaching situation (in a spirit of collegiality), that an understanding of the feedback dialogue can best be reached. Herein lies the promise of an improvement in the quality of life, quality of education and ultimately quality of learning (Allwright, this issue).
Perturbations of the cerebrovascular matrisome: A convergent mechanism in small vessel disease of the brain?

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The term matrisome refers to the ensemble of proteins constituting the extracellular matrix (ECM) (core matrisome) as well as the proteins associated with the ECM. Every organ has an ECM with a unique composition that not only provides the support and anchorage for cells, but also controls fundamental cellular processes as diverse as differentiation, survival, proliferation, and polarity. The current knowledge of the matrisome of small brain vessels is reviewed with a focus on the basement membrane (BM), a specialized form of ECM located at the interface between endothelial cells, contractile cells (smooth muscle cells and pericytes), and astrocyte endfeet—a very strategic location in the communication pathway between the cerebral microcirculation and astrocytes. We discuss some of the most recent genetic data and relevant findings from experimental models of nonamyloid cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). We propose the concept that perturbations of the cerebrovascular matrisome is a convergent pathologic pathway in monogenic forms of SVD, and is likely relevant to the sporadic disease.
Towards Designing a Cost-Effective Counselling Service: Lessons from Psychotheraphy Research and Clinical Psychology Practice

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Ideally, the body of counselling psychology knowledge is first informed by the endeavours of research and then applied to a range of normal/distressed populations in different settings. However, an imbalance is evident in that while research still has little impact on counselling practice (e.g. Morrow-Bradley and Elliott, 1986), demands for high quality counselling services are increasing (e.g. in organizational and general practitioner set-tings). This paper argues that there are particular findings from psychotherapy research which can influence counselling practice. And further, that there is a sufficient interface with clinical psychology practice which can benefit counselling psychology, particularly in terms of designing cost-effective counselling services.
