th IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC 2002)

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present a menu interface designed primarily for headworn displays that have a small field-of-view. To support interaction with a hierarchical menu, we logically divide an absolute positioning device into finger-operated strip segments, which we use as one-dimensional scrolling devices. Our menu system is intended to make user interaction faster by not requiring constant visual feedback. This is preferable for interaction in which the visual user interface elements occupy only a small portion of the eye&apos;s entire field-of-view and in which navigating in menus with a pointer would be awkward and time-consuming. With our approach, it is even possible for the user to use peripheral vision for interaction, since there is no need to precisely position a small pointer on the screen. Thus, the user can maintain eye contact with others or keep his or her focus of attention on the environment while using a wearable device.
Group learning: an analysis of individuals in software development teams who perform interdependent tasks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper aims to understand how group learning occurs within software development organisations (SDOs). The specific objectives are: 1) understand and describe the learning process in teams that perform interdependent tasks according to the addressed theoretical perspective; 2) understand and describe how developers apply the resources and infrastructures available in these organisations for their learning. Qualitative research of a multiple case study was conducted in four SDOs applying semi-structured interviews. The subjects interviewed were involved in the software development process. The analyses were performed with the qualitative data analysis software Weft_QDA. The results show that group learning does occur in SDOs through information and communication technologies, which allow developers to interact and share their knowledge. There is an asset repository that stores the knowledge acquired during the projects, equivalent to a transactive memory system (TMS).

Hand Hygiene Evaluation Using Two Different Evaluation Tools and Hand Contamination of Veterinary Healthcare Workers in a Swiss Companion Animal Clinic

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Hand hygiene (HH) is the most important measure to prevent nosocomial infections. HH compliance in companion animal clinics has been reported to be poor. The present study compared an online application with the WHO evaluation form to assess the WHO five moments of HH in a Swiss companion animal clinic. In 202 hand swabs from 87 staff members, total viable count (TVC) before and after patient contact was evaluated and the swabs were tested for selected antimicrobial resistant microorganisms of public health importance. HH compliance (95% confidence interval) was 36.6% (33.8–39.5%) and was similar when assessed with the two evaluation tools. HH differed between hospital areas (p = 0.0035) and HH indications (p < 0.0001). Gloves were worn in 22.0% (18.0–26.6%) of HH observations and were indicated in 37.2% (27.3–48.3%) of these observations. Mean TVC before patient contact was lower (0.52 log CFU/cm2) than after patient contact (1.02 log CFU/cm2) but was similar before patient contact on gloved and ungloved hands. Three hand swabs (1.5% (0.4–4.3%)) were positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Gloving should not be regarded as a substitute for HH. Overall, HH in companion animal medicine should urgently be fostered.
Multiagent Multimodal Trajectory Prediction in Urban Traffic Scenarios Using a Neural Network-Based Solution

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Trajectory prediction in urban scenarios is critical for high-level automated driving systems. However, this task is associated with many challenges. On the one hand, a scene typically includes different traffic participants, such as vehicles, buses, pedestrians, and cyclists, which may behave differently. On the other hand, an agent may have multiple plausible future trajectories based on complex interactions with the other agents. To address these challenges, we propose a multiagent, multimodal trajectory prediction method based on neural networks, which encodes past motion information, group context, and road context to estimate future trajectories by learning from the interactions of the agents. At inference time, multiple realistic future trajectories are predicted. Our solution is based on an encoder–decoder architecture that can handle a variable number of traffic participants. It uses vectors of agent features as inputs rather than images, and it is designed to run on a physical autonomous car, addressing the real-time operation requirements. We evaluate the method using the inD dataset for each type of traffic participant and provide information about its integration into an actual self-driving car.
Combined effects of nisin, lactic acid and modified atmosphere packaging on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes in raw ground pork

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Summary The individual and combined antilisterial efficiency of nisin, lactic acid and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was investigated. Raw ground pork was inoculated with a strain of Listeria monocytogenes and samples were distributed into twelve lots. Half of the lots were stored aerobically and the other six lots were packaged using the MAP. A different combination of nisin (N) and/or lactic acid (LA) was added to each lot (300 ppm N, 500 ppm N; 2% LA; 300 ppm N and 2% LA; 500 ppm N and 2% LA). All samples were stored at 4 °C for 21 days (samples with MAP) or 7 days (samples stored aerobically). The inactivation of L. monocytogenes in samples stored aerobically was attained mainly with the combination of 500 ppm N + LA; however, in samples with MAP, the L. monocytogenes population decreased 3.45 log with the addition of LA, and the combination N + LA increased the inactivation other 0.5 log.
Non-thermal sterilization of Sufu by intense pulsed magnetic field

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The effect of intense pulsed magnetic field on total numbers of colony,mould and yeast was investigated by using pulsed magnetic field over 5T to treat sufu.The experimental results indicated that the sterilizing effect of intense pulsed magnetic field on sufu was significant.The survival rate firstly reduced to a valley value with the magnetic field strength and pulse number increasing.Then,the survival rate began to rise with the magnetic field strength and pulse number increasing,and the sterilizing result contrarily become worse.When treated by pulsed magnetic field that of 16T,the total numbers of colony in sufu can lead to the best sterilizing result with pulse number of 6,but the mould and yeast with the pulse number of 8.Compared with total numbers of colony,the mould and yeast have stronger resistance on pulsed magnetic field.Under the best treatment conditions,the sufu that treated by intense pulsed magnetic field can meet the requirements of commercial sterile.
Beam phase measuring deflectometry featuring physics-compliant object-image mapping

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Phase measuring deflectometry has been proven as a competitive technique for measuring complex optical surfaces. However, the commonly used imaging model simply treats the light beam associated with each camera pixel as a single ray, which in turn leads to significant measurement errors for complex surfaces with high curvedness, low reflectivity, or nonideal specularity. To broaden the measurable scope of deflectometry, beam phase measuring deflectometry is proposed. A beam imaging model is developed by defining a discrete light field function and assigning a beam composed of a set of rays to each camera pixel. The conventional framework of the one-to-one mapping between the points on the screen, camera, and surface under test is broken through for the first time, enabling a direct physics-compliant description of the imaging process in deflectometric measurement. The flexibility of the imaging model is guaranteed by a set of tunable parameters, and the difficulty of intensity quantification of images is bypassed through phase rendering. The proposed method shows superior accuracy over traditional approaches for complex surfaces, which reduces the measurement errors from an order of micrometers to hundreds of nanometers, while maintaining numerical reliability and measurement efficiency.
Inefficient Homooligomerization Contributes to the Dependence of Myogenin on E2A Products for Efficient DNA Binding

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

Myogenin is a muscle-specific transcription factor that can activate myogenesis; it belongs to a family of transcription factors that share homology within a basic region and an adjacent helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif. Although myogenin alone binds DNA inefficiently, in the presence of the widely expressed HLH proteins E12 and E47 (encoded by the E2A gene), it forms heterooligomers that bind with high affinity to a DNA sequence known as a kappa E-2 site. In contrast, E47 and to a lesser extent E12 are both able to bind the kappa E-2 site relatively efficiently as homooligomers. To define the relative contributions of the basic regions of myogenin and E12 to DNA binding and muscle-specific gene activation, we created chimeras of the two proteins by swapping their basic regions. We showed that myogenin's weak affinity for the kappa E-2 site is attributable to inefficient homooligomerization and that the myogenin basic domain alone can mediate high-affinity DNA binding when placed in E12. Within a heterooligomeric complex, two basic regions were required to form a high-affinity DNA-binding domain. Basic-domain mutants of myogenin or E2A gene products that cannot bind DNA retained the ability to oligomerize and could abolish DNA binding of the wild-type proteins in vitro. These myogenin and E2A mutants also acted as trans-dominant inhibitors of muscle-specific gene activation in vivo. These findings support the notion that muscle-specific gene activation requires oligomerization between myogenin and E2A gene products and that E2A gene products play an important role in myogenesis by enhancing the DNA-binding activity of myogenin, as well as other myogenic HLH proteins.
Google Earth and the nation state

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article analyzes the nature of sovereignty in a globalizing world and the role new media entities play within it. It studies a protracted engagement between Google and nation states on the ability of the newly launched software Google Earth to zoom in on classified locations. Reading this tussle as an engagement between an older form of sovereignty and a newer one, this article argues that new media entities such as Google represent a new modality of power, increasingly making inroads into the Westphalian nation-state system. This new mode of power operates by presenting itself as ‘centerless’ thus claiming to operate in the interests of the larger global good. Given their architecture as a ‘distributed network’ they are increasingly difficult to regulate, thus making their challenge hard to counter. Interrogating their claim of having no interests of their own, this article argues that digital networks continue to reify older hierarchies within the global order even as they claim to erase those very hierarchies.
Darstellung und Reaktionen von Arylcarbonsäurefluorsulfonsäure-anhydriden

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

In dichloromethane at 0°C, the acyl fluorides 3 insert sulfur trioxide to form the thermolabile arylcarbonic fluorosulfonic anhydrides 4 in good yield. Acylation of non-activated arenes with the anhydrides 4 is impossible since they decompose upon warming into the constituent compounds; with the SO3 thus liberated, diarylsulfones 6 are formed.
Relationships Between Immunoreactive Estrone and Estradiol in Milk, Blood, and Urine of Dairy Cows

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Quantities of immunoreactive estrone and estradiol in blood plasma, urine, and milk were measured during the estrous cycle and pregnancy of cows. The objectives were to develop a radioimmunoassay procedure for quantifying estrogen in milk and urine and to compare changes in milk estrogen with those in blood plasma and urine. Concentrations of estrone and estradiol in milk varied during the estrous cycle. Relative concentrations of estradiol in blood plasma and milk were not different, but average estrone concentrations in milk were four times greater than those in blood plasma. Concentration of total estrogen (estradiol plus estrone) exceeded 1 ng/ml in colostrum and milk from cows milked prepartum, and was correlated with total estrogen in blood plasma and urine before and after calving. Blood plasma estrone was correlated only with milk estrone whereas blood plasma estradiol was correlated with urinary estradiol, milk estrone, and milk estradiol during the estrous cycle. These results raise possibilities that mammary gland of the lactating cow may concentrate preferentially estrone or convert estradiol to estrone. However, estimated excretion of estrogen through the milk represents no more than a fraction of 1% of the total excreted during the estrous cycle, and the proportion becomes less as gestation progresses up to at least 7 mo.
Morphological Complexity and Prosodic Minimality

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

It is widely attested, cross-linguistically, for both words and prosodic morphemes to be required to be minimally bimoraic or disyllabic. Work since McCarthy and Prince (1986) argues that these minimality effects fall out from the Prosodic Hierarchy. Requiring the relevant morpheme to be a Prosodic Word and dominate a stress Foot automatically also imposes a two mora or two syllable minimality requirement. In this paper I show, based on a reanalysis of reduplication in Axininca Campa, that this Prosodic Hierarchy-based theory of minimality is inadequate. I argue instead that morphological minimality conditions are better explained as a form of Head-Dependent Asymmetry (Dresher and van der Hulst 1998). Head morphemes are enhanced by requiring more complex prosodic structure, mirroring their more complex morphological structure. This alternative approach not only provides a uniform account of minimality effects holding for Axininca Campa reduplication, it also solves the problems raised by McCarthy and Prince's (1993, 1995) analysis of the data.
Instrumental Rationalization or Value Rationalization: Which Has More Influence on Parents' Investment Decisions in Education

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This research aims to determine the role and influence of two types of action rationalization, namely instrumental action rationalization and value action rationalization, on decisions made by parents in determining their children's future through educational investment and which is the most dominant. Descriptive and comparative methods will be used in answering the research problems, so the analytical tool in this research is an instrument using a 7-point Likert scale collected through an online survey tool in the form of Jotform. The sample to be used is parents who have school-age children at the XII grade high school education level. To get good analytical results, validity and reliability tests were carried out first through a pilot test, then continued with regression tests using actual data. The results showed that instrumental action rationalization can influence parents' decision to invest in education more than value action rationalization. The implication of this research is a better understanding from parents that there is a need to rationalize their actions in investing in education. This research is also expected to be further examined in other studies to get results and similarities in the perception that these two types of social action rationalization are interrelated.
Generalization and ranking of fuzzy numbers by relative preference relation

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We define $$2n+1$$ 2 n + 1 and 2 n fuzzy numbers, which generalize triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, respectively. Then, we extend the fuzzy preference relation and relative preference relation to rank $$2n+1$$ 2 n + 1 and 2 n fuzzy numbers. When the data is representable in terms of $$2n+1$$ 2 n + 1 fuzzy number, we generalize the FMCDM (fuzzy multi-criteria decision making) model constructed with TOPSIS and relative preference relation. Lastly, we give an example from telecommunications to present the proposed FMCDM model and validate the results obtained.
Determinants of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in patients who underwent first-line treatment in Addis Ababa: a case control study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Worldwide, there were 650,000 multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases in 2010, and in 2008 the World Health Organization estimated that 150,000 deaths occurred annually due to MDR-TB. Ethiopia is 15th among the 27 MDR-TB high-burden countries. This study identifies factors associated with the occurrence of MDR-TB in patients who underwent first-line TB treatment in Addis Ababa City.A case control study was conducted at St. Peter Hospital and five health centers in Addis Ababa from 1 November 2011 to February 30, 2012. Cases were MDR-TB patients who were confirmed with culture and drug-susceptibility testing and were in treatment at St. Peter Hospital during the study period. Controls were patients who were on first-line anti-TB treatment and were registered as cured or having completed treatment in the period 9 April 2009- 28 February 2010, in five health centers of Addis Ababa City. Accordingly, 134 cases and an equal number of controls were included in this study. A structured interview questionnaire was used to assess factors that could potentially be associated with the occurrence of MDR-TB.Factors that were significantly associated with MDR-TB: drug side effects during first-line treatment (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 4.5, 95% CI; 1.9 - 10.5); treatment not directly observed by a health worker (AOR = 11.7, 95% CI; 4-34.3); interruption of treatment of at least a day (AOR = 13.1, 95% CI 3.0-56.6); duration of treatment between 2 and 7 months (AOR = 14.8, 95% CI 2.3-96.4); and retreatment with the Category II regimen (P = 0.000). In the current study, HIV infection was not significantly associated with the occurrence of MDR-TB.Patients who were not in strict DOTS programs and did not adhere to first-line TB treatment and patients who experienced side effects during first-line treatment and Category II retreatment were at significantly increased risk of developing MDR-TB. The DOTS program should, therefore, be strengthened to increase patient adherence. Drug-susceptibility testing is also highly recommended for all Category I treatment regimen failures before those patients begin the Category II regimen.
LEARNING FROM LEARNING SPACES

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In March 2007 the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex each opened experimental learning spaces as part of their contribution to the Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning
project [1, 2, 3]. The flexible, technology rich spaces cost around £1m each and were designed to support the exploration of the role of creativity in pedagogic practice. The universities are currently
providing a top down, evaluative overview of this research activity due to be published later in 2010. Few teaching practitioners have however provided their own individual, user specific analysis of the creative learning spaces. This paper therefore provides an analysis based on over 300 hours of practice based research experiences by two key academic users of each learning space. The analysis highlights comparative and contrasting approaches, issues and reflections. The project is scheduled to end in March 2010 and the analysis therefore also includes the lessons learned from the research which the academics will apply as they return back to more traditional classroom settings. The results are therefore of significance to tutors wishing to explore alternative teaching approaches, creativity and learning environments in their own classroom spaces, particularly those moving away from the didactic towards more student centred forms of learning. It may also offer insights to those seeking the development of their own creative learning spaces and as such the results may be equally relevant to both academics and estates managers.
EFFECT OF COOLING WATER JET INCLINATION ON PLATE COOLING IN A RUN OUT TABLE AFTER HOT ROLLING

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

There have been numerous attempts to increase the cooling capacity of run out tables (ROTs) immediately after the hot rolling process. Such attempts include increasing the amount of cooling water supply, adjusting the arrangement of the cooling water supply nozzles, and maximizing the impingement effect of the cooling water jets. In this study, we numerically investigate the effect of the angle of inclination of the water jets on plate cooling. The forced convection between the jetted cooling water and running plate is expected to be boosted when using inclined cooling water jets. Five different angles of water jet inclination are investigated, and the plate cooling histories, temperature, and heat flux distributions on the plate surface, and resultant cooling capacities for each angle are compared.
