Time domain adaptive processing for multi-user crosstalk cancellation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Crosstalk is the major limiting factor affecting the achieve rate of VDSL/VDSL2 system. Several crosstalk cancelers from frequency domain have been proposed. However, these kinds of processing suffer from high computational complexity. This paper considers the crosstalk cancellation from time domain, a two stage adaptive filter is designed to cancel the crosstalk. Computer simulation results based on measured data verify the efficiency of the proposed method.

Parasitic bulk waves in wide band SAW filters designed on 128° rotated Y-cut of LiNbO

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents the results of bulk wave transmission investigation in a wide band SAW filter designed on 128/spl deg/ YX LiNbO/sub 3/. Bulk wave transmission in the filter was investigated in both frequency and time domain. Fourier transform and windowing techniques were used to identify the most important bulk wave modes and their contribution to the frequency response of the device. The influence of the substrate backside grooving on bulk wave propagation was examined. Application of grooving significantly reduces the level of bulk wave modes bouncing off the backside of the substrate. As a result substantial improvement in stopband rejection was obtained. It was found that in the devices with their backside grooved one of the most prominent bulk waves is the longitudinal wave travelling directly between the IDTs of the filter. The longitudinal wave limits the rejection in the upper stopband to approx. 40 dB.
Multiple criteria assessment of sustainability programs in the textile industry

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract To survive in the long term, business needs to profit, controlling environmental impacts with social responsibility. Sustainability programs involve the integration of social and environmental issues in business models and organizational processes. The assessment of sustainability programs is a problem of multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA). This work presents applications of MCDA for the assessment of sustainability programs in the textile industry. Applied methods for MCDA are analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the technique for the order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The reasons to apply AHP and TOPSIS include providing an assessment index, ranging from 0 to 1, and that the MCDA model is expected to have more criteria than alternatives. Therefore, an application of other methods, such as data envelopment analysis, could be prejudiced. Concepts from the triple bottom line, economic, social as well as environmental criteria were inserted in the proposed model. Sustainability programs of six leading companies from the Brazilian textile industry were evaluated. The main finding of the research is that AHP and TOPSIS resulted in similar evaluations for sustainability programs. Both methods resulted in the same rank of alternatives. However, with TOPSIS, companies' sustainability indices were more disperse, varying from 0.10 to 0.92 against a range from 0.23 to 0.69 with AHP.
Hydrogen-bonding interactions trigger a spin-flip in iron(III) porphyrin complexes

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A key step in cytochrome P450 catalysis includes the spin-state crossing from low spin to high spin upon substrate binding and subsequent reduction of the heme. Clearly, a weak perturbation in P450 enzymes triggers a spin-state crossing. However, the origin of the process whereby enzymes reorganize their active site through external perturbations, such as hydrogen bonding, is still poorly understood. We have thus studied the impact of hydrogen-bonding interactions on the electronic structure of a five-coordinate iron(III) octaethyltetraarylporphyrin chloride. The spin state of the metal was found to switch reversibly between high (S=5/2) and intermediate spin (S=3/2) with hydrogen bonding. Our study highlights the possible effects and importance of hydrogen-bonding interactions in heme proteins. This is the first example of a synthetic iron(III) complex that can reversibly change its spin state between a high and an intermediate state through weak external perturbations.
Motivated Reasoning and Risk Governance: What Risk Scholars and Practitioners Need to Know

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Empirical research in psychology and political science shows that individuals collect, process, and interpret information in a goal-driven fashion. Several theorists have argued that rather than striving for accuracy in their conclusions, individuals are motivated to arrive at conclusions that align with their previous beliefs, values, or identity commitments. The literature refers to this phenomenon broadly as ‘motivated reasoning’. In the context of risk governance, motivated reasoning can help to explain why people vary in their risk perceptions, evaluations, and preferences about risk management. But our current understanding of the phenomenon is incomplete, including the degree to which motivated reasoning should be considered rational and reasonable. Further, the research on motivated reasoning is largely unknown among risk practitioners. This chapter identifies key theoretical models of motivated reasoning, discusses the conceptual differences between them, and explores the implications of motivated reasoning for risk governance. Motivated reasoning is often labeled as ‘irrational’ and thus seen to prevent effective decision-making about risk, but this chapter challenges this assessment. The chapter concludes by identifying theoretical and empirical implications for researchers studying motivated reasoning and risk, as well as practical implications for policymakers and regulators involved in risk governance.
The Energetics of Crystallizing White Dwarfs Revisited Again

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The evolution of white dwarfs is a cooling process that depends on the energy stored in the core and on the way in which it is transferred through the envelope. In this paper we show that despite some (erroneous) claims, the redistribution of chemical elements ensuing the crystallization of C/O white dwarfs provides between the 10% and the 20% of the total energy released during the crystallization process, depending on the internal chemical composition, which is not negligible at all, given the present state of the art of the white dwarf cooling theory.
Characterization of Beef from Cross-bred Cows Using Principal Component Analysis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The current study was undertaken to evaluate various quality attributes of beef from cross-bred dairy cows and to characterize it using principal component analysis (PCA). Ten different muscles each from six culled cross-bred cows (Holstein Friesian x Jersey, four to six years old) were analysed for 22 variables including physico-chemical, compositional and sensory attributes. The coefficients of variation of different attributes were found to range from 0.9 to 58.41 per cent. PCA transformed the variables into eight principal components (PCs) which explained more than 79.53 per cent of total variability. PC1 accounted for 19.37 per cent of total variability and it comprised of sensory attributes (excluding appearance and flavour), shear force, collagen content and collagen solubility. PC2 was characterized by b* and chroma. Loading plots of the first two PCs revealed high correlation between most of the eating quality attributes. Shear force, myofibril fragmentation index and collagen content formed another group of highly correlated variables. The study has revealed that PCA can be effectively used for interpretation of large amount of data generated in studies like quality profiling of beef from cross-bred dairy cows.
The Way We Pay Now: Understanding and Evaluating Performance-Based Executive Pay

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Over the last ten years, performance-based equity pay, and particularly performance shares, have displaced stock options as the primary instruments for compensating executives of large, public companies in the U.S. This article examines that transformation, analyzing the structure and incentive properties of these newly important instruments and evaluating the benefits and risks from an investor’s perspective. Although technically “stock” instruments, performance shares mimic the incentive characteristics of options. But performance shares avoid the tax, accounting, and other constraints that have led to uniform grants of non-indexed, at-the-money options. Performance share plans can be designed to be effectively in, at, or out of the money and these plans often employ relative performance measurement that makes them analogous to rarely observed indexed stock options. But the opacity of performance share plans creates risks for investors, and the two accounting approaches applicable to these instruments both result in systematic undervaluation for executive pay disclosure and financial reporting purposes. Given the growing dominance of these instruments, this article advocates the ado ption of a mark-to-market accounting regime for all equity compensation.

Glass transition temperature as a unified parameter to design self-healable elastomers

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Self-healing ability of materials, particularly polymers, improves their functional stabilities and lifespan. To date, the designs for self-healable polymers have relied on specific intermolecular interactions or chemistries. We report a design methodology for self-healable polymers based on glass transition. Statistical copolymer series of two monomers with different glass transition temperatures ( T g ) were synthesized, and their self-healing tendency depends on the T g of the copolymers and the constituents. Self-healing occurs more efficiently when the difference in T g between two monomer units is larger, within a narrow T g range of the copolymers, irrespective of their functional groups. The self-healable copolymers are elastomeric and nonpolar. The strategy to graft glass transition onto self-healing would expand the scope of polymer design.
HIV/AIDS and child malnutrition in eastern and southern Africa

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract HIV/AIDS and child malnutrition are pervasive in eastern and southern Africa. This paper employs cross‐country panel data on 20 countries from 1991 to 2017 to explore the macro‐level relationship between HIV/AIDS and child malnutrition. Using instrumental variables (IV) regression, we find that HIV/AIDS is a robust predictor of long‐term and chronic malnutrition. Conditional on various controls, the results demonstrate a positive empirical association between HIV/AIDS and stunting. Moreover, increased access to improved water, female education, and food availability are critical for reducing stunting. These findings underscore the need for an integrated national policy on nutrition and HIV/AIDS and intersectoral collaboration between government agencies responsible for managing nutrition and HIV/AIDS programs.

Clinical experience with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

1. Sixty-two patients (nineteen mild-moderate, forty-three severe hypertension) were treated with captopril. 2. Blood pressure was controlled long term (with/without diuretics/beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drugs) in sixteen out of nineteen patients with mild-moderate hypertension. Two patients complained of dysguesia. 3. Long term control (with/without other drugs) was achieved in thirty out of forty-three patients with severe or accelerated hypertension, many of whom had associated renal or renovascular disease. Side-effects were common: five rash, five dysguesia, two rash and dysguesia, two reversible agranulocytosis. 4. Six patients had a profound pressure fall after an initial dose of captopril 25 mg and one developed acute oliguric renal failure. Treatment should be commenced at low doses in severely hypertensive patients.
Intraoperative localization and “snowman” muscle pledget repair for ventral dural defect in a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: This image report with technical notes is the first to illustrate and describe the technique used to treat spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks with the “snowman” muscle pledget. A 49-year-old male presented with orthostatic headaches as well as the left abducens nerve palsy. Patient’s workup including findings of diffuse meningeal enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging, lumbar puncture opening pressure of 4 cm H2O, and CT myelogram demonstrating evidence of ventral spinal thoracic CSF leak. Case Description: Procedure took place in a hybrid biplane operating room so that simultaneous digital subtraction myelogram may also be performed for intraoperative localization. Dural defect was identified intraoperatively and repaired with thoracic laminectomy and “snowman” muscle pledget technique. Postoperatively, the patient did well with resolution of his symptoms. Conclusion: The authors have proposed a grading scale to aid in the work up and management of intracranial hypotension. The use of a hybrid biplane operating room and “snowman” muscle pledget technique is a safe and effective technique to treat spontaneous spinal CSF leaks resulting from dural defects.
Linking CIO–CMO Communication and Product Innovation via Virtual Customer Environment Engagement: A Moderated Mediation Study

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Intuitively, we would expect that CIO–CMO communication plays a minimal role in product innovation performance, because product innovation is primarily driven by firms’ market orientation, knowledge of customer needs and cross‐functional integration among marketing, R&D and operations management. In a sharp contrast to this perspective, we propose that CIO–CMO communication increases product innovation performance through enhancing virtual customer environment (VCE) engagement. Such proposed effects are supported by two studies with different samples (i.e. MBA alumni in Study 1 and a representative sample in Study 2) and different performance measures (i.e. subjective ratings in Study 1 and objective sales data in Study 2). Furthermore, the effect of CIO–CMO communication on product innovation performance via VCE engagement is contingent upon two situational factors, namely marketing–IT integration policy and market uncertainty. The effect of CIO–CMO communication on product innovation performance via VCE engagement is positive and significant when marketing–IT integration policy is strong or when market uncertainty is high, but not when marketing–IT integration policy is weak or when market uncertainty is low. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications of these findings are discussed, especially on how managers can capitalize on CIO–CMO communication and VCE engagement to enhance the success of new product innovation.
US3 Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase from MDV-1, MDV-2, and HVT Differentially Regulate Viral Gene Expression and Replication

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

Gallid alphaherpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), commonly known as Marek’s disease virus type 1 (MDV-1), is an oncogenic avian alphaherpesvirus, and along with its close relatives—Gallid alphaherpesvirus 3 (GaHV-3) or MDV-2 and Meleagrid alphaherpesvirus 1 (MeHV-1) or turkey herpesvirus (HVT)—belongs to the Mardivirus genus. We and others previously showed that MDV-1 US3 protein kinase plays an important role in viral replication and pathogenesis, which could be partially compensated by MDV-2 and HVT US3. In this study, we further studied the differential roles of MDV-1, MDV-2 and HVT US3 in regulating viral gene expression and replication. Our results showed that MDV-2 and HVT US3 could differentially compensate MDV-1 US3 regulation of viral gene expression in vitro. MDV-2 and HVT US3 could also partially rescue the replication deficiency of MDV-1 US3 null virus in the spleen and thymus, as determined by immunohistochemistry analysis of MDV-1 pp38 protein. Importantly, using immunohistochemistry and dual immunofluorescence assays, we found that MDV-2 US3, but not HVT US3, fully compensated MDV-1 US3 regulation of MDV-1 replication in bursal B lymphocytes. In conclusion, our study provides the first comparative analysis of US3 from MDV-1, MDV-2 and HVT in regulating viral gene expression in cell culture and MDV-1 replication in lymphocytes.

Anticipatory nausea and vomiting among cancer patients: A Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Anticipatory nausea and vomiting (ANV), as a side-effect of cancer chemotherapy, is a well recognized phenomenon. The literature is reviewed for data on: prevalence rates, factors contributing to onset and psychological treatments used to attempt a remission in the symptoms. From the available evidence it appears that ANV is a substantial problem with one major review indicating an average combined prevalence of 32%. Although explicable using a conditioning model it has a complex aetiology with emotional and cognitive elements, as well as specific pharmacological factors, playing a role in onset. ANV appears to be responsive to psychologically-based treatment methods, with a good outcome overall. However, more process evaluation is needed in order to understand aetiologic and treatment mechanisms and to determine how best to treat cases of ANV with different aetiologies. It is considered that procedures for identifying and referring patients with ANV should be routinely incorporated into the care of cancer patients receiving repeated cycles of chemotherapy.
Three Cases of Lymphocytic Infiltration of the Eyelid

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Lymphocytic infiltration of the skin (LIS), first reported by Jessner and Kanof in 1953, is a disease of unknown etiology characterized by erythematous papules and plaques on the head, neck, and upper back and histopathological findings of a normal epidermis with underlying lymphocytic infiltration of the reticular dermis without mucin deposition. A 69-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman presented with edematous indurative erythema of the left upper eyelid. Lymphocytic infiltration of the dermis with CD4+ T cell predominance was noted on biopsy. A 68-year-old man presented with a four-year history of recurrent edematous indurative erythema of the right upper eyelid that extended up to the right cheek. Predominantly dermal infiltration of CD8+ T lymphocytes was found on biopsy. We treated all three patients with 8–16 mg of methylprednisolone daily, and the erythema and induration improved. CD4+ T cells were predominant in the acute phase (patients 1 and 2), whereas CD8+ T cells were predominant in the chronic phase (patient 3). CD8+ T cells may be involved in LIS recurrence. Lymphocytic infiltration of the eyelid may be associated with isolated circumscribed, edematous, indurative, colorless lesions that are responsive to daily low-to-middle doses of oral methylprednisolone.

従来のモリブデンのキレート滴定法は,モリブデンを硫酸ヒドラジンで還元し,過剰のEDTAと反応させて硫酸銅溶液で逆滴定するものである.この場合,モリブデンとEDTAの結合比は2:1である.しかし,硫酸ヒドラジンの代わりに塩酸ヒドロキシルアミンで還元し,EDTAと反応させると生成するキレートは1:1の結合比であった.このキレートについて種々検討した結果,新しいモリブデンの滴定法を確立した.2:1の組成のキレートは強い黄色を呈するが,1:1の組成のキレートの呈色は非常に薄いので,従来法に比較して本法は精度よく滴定できる.
Sparse methods for Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) aims to estimate the tissue susceptibility distribution that gives rise to subtle changes in the main magnetic field, which are captured by the image phase in a gradient echo (GRE) experiment. The underlying susceptibility distribution is related to the acquired tissue phase through an ill-posed linear system. To facilitate its inversion, spatial regularization that imposes sparsity or smoothness assumptions can be employed. This paper focuses on efficient algorithms for regularized QSM reconstruction. Fast solvers that enforce sparsity under Total Variation (TV) and Total Generalized Variation (TGV) constraints are developed using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). Through variable splitting that permits closed-form iterations, the computation efficiency of these solvers are dramatically improved. An alternative approach to improve the conditioning of the ill-posed inversion is to acquire multiple GRE volumes at different head orientations relative to the main magnetic field. The phase information from such multi-orientation acquisition can be combined to yield exquisite susceptibility maps and obviate the need for regularized reconstruction, albeit at the cost of increased data acquisition time.
