Embedding-based subsequence matching in large sequence databases

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Sequential data, such as time series and categorical sequences, naturally appear in a wide variety of domains including financial and scientific data, human activity, biological sequences, etc. In such domains large databases of sequences are used as knowledge repositories. Information retrieval from such repositories is challenging, due to the large amount of data that needs to be searched.
Our attention is focused on subsequence matching methods that employ dynamic programming-based distance measures. Such approaches are robust to misalignments and time warps and are widely used for time series and DNA matching. Three methods are proposed for efficient subsequence matching in large sequence databases.
The first method works for time series databases and the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distance. It converts subsequence matching to vector matching using an embedding that maps each database time series into a sequence of vectors. The embedding is computed by applying the full DTW distance between each reference and database time series. At query time, the embedding of the query time series is computed in a similar manner. Relatively few areas of interest are identified by performing vector comparisons, and are then fully explored using the exact DTW distance. The second method defines a similar type of embedding that stores additional information into the vector representation and significantly improves the efficiency of subsequence matching under the constrained Dynamic Time Warping (cDTW) distance.
The third method speeds up retrieval of optimal subsequence matches in string databases, under the Edit Distance and the Smith-Waterman similarity measure. Filtering of candidate matches is performed using precomputed alignment scores between the database sequence and a set of fixed-length reference sequences. At query time, the query sequence is partitioned into segments of the same length as the reference sequences. For each of those segments, the alignment scores between the segment and the reference sequences are used to efficiently identify a relatively small number of candidate matches. Experiments show that the proposed method outperforms BLAST by over an order of magnitude in retrieval runtime for large queries (up to 10,000 bases) and similarity levels of up to 15%.
Diet of Black-Tailed Jackrabbits on Sandhill Rangeland in Colorado

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The diet and forage preferences of the black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus) were studied by stomach content analysis to determine the degree of competition between cattle and jackrabbits on sandhill rangeland. Grasses were most important in the diet in early spring and summer. Forbs were important during summer and fall and shrubs were eaten in fall and winter. Competition for forage between jackrabbits and cattle was greatest in early spring and least in late fall and winter. Jackrabbits influence the longevity of reseeded forage stands and the secondary succession on old fields. A thorough knowledge of diet and forage preferences of jackrabbits permits the land manager to make better decisions for efficient range use.
Reconstruction or Creation? The Liberation of a Concentration Camp in Andrzej Wajda's Landscape After Battle

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Andrzej Wajda's images of spontaneous exuberance captured in the opening scene of (1970) are used to gauge the realism of his cinematic vision of the liberation. The essay focuses on: reception, critical reviews concerning fidelity to Tadeusz Borowski's short stories, and filmmaker's declarations in 1969 and two decades later. Other reference materials entail memoirs of American liberators and photographic record of the liberation of Dachau and its sub-camp Dachau Allach. Wajda has refused to reproduce the actual camp because the horror was unattainable for the crew. Thus, the film should be placed in the realm of creation rather than meticulous reconstruction.

Classroom Strategies through Translanguaging for Multilingualism Students

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This research aims to discover translanguaging strategy in the process of teaching English material to multilingualism students. Due to the Indonesian country is a multicultural, the children got their mother tongue is a local language, not Bahasa Indonesia as the national ones. The Indonesian students acquire two languages n their daily life; local language and Bahasa Indonesia. Therefore, the role of English teacher is to explain English materials using English as the target language, local language and Bahasa Indonesia to increase students’ comprehension. This research used qualitative research with grounded theory design. In collecting the data, the researcher used interview technique to discover further information. In this research, the use of L1 was mostly used in the classroom rather than L2. The students could understand the material because the teachers’ effort to translate the language from Bahasa Indonesia to English and vice versa. This phenomenon was challenging because of the lack of students’ confidence to practice English. However, translanguaging decreased students’ anxiety in the class because they could understand English well by using two languages; Bahasa Indonesia and English. the findings are easy to be implemented by the following teachers in teaching multilingualism students for non-English speaking country, because translanguaging facilitates students and teachers to learn English using affordable way.
Unraveling nocebo effects in visceral pain: negative suggestion and adverse treatment experience uniquely shape visceral pain unpleasantness

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Visceral pain, characterized by its diffuse, poorly localized, and fear-inducing nature, may be especially prone to nocebo effects. This preregistered experimental study investigated whether (1) visceral pain is more susceptible to nocebo effects than somatic pain, and whether (2) an adverse treatment experience in the somatic modality contributes to visceral nocebo effects by cross-modal generalization. A total of 101 healthy volunteers received inert treatment and were randomized into 4 experimental groups: negative treatment suggestions, adverse somatic treatment experience, their combination, or control. Individually calibrated visceral (rectal distension) and somatic (thermal) pain stimuli were applied. Negative suggestions involved heightened pain sensitivity suggestions; adverse treatment experience was modeled by covertly amplifying thermal pain. Pain ratings, cortisol levels, and emotional states were assessed across pre-, treat-, and test-phases, and upon re-exposure to pain 1 week later. Negative suggestions increased negative expectations and cortisol levels, and the thermal pain manipulation successfully amplified somatic pain during treatment ( P < 0.001). In the test-phase, both suggestions and somatic experience independently increased visceral pain unpleasantness ( P = 0.004; P = 0.011), whereas no somatic nocebo effects emerged. No group differences appeared at re-exposure, but perceived treatment allocation was influenced both by suggestions and experience. Findings support the distinct vulnerability of the visceral modality to nocebo effects, which can arise or intensify through cross-modal transfer from adverse somatic treatment experiences, emphasizing the importance of provider communication and consideration of prior experiences in the treatment of chronic visceral pain conditions, especially in patients with mixed pain phenotypes.
ANTIBODIES TO LIVER-SPECIFIC AUTO- AND ALLOANTIGENS AFTER ALLOIMMUNIZATION WITH LIVER TISSUE IN THE RAT

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

LEW anti-DA liver homogenate and anti-DA liver vascularized graft sera were studied using 125I anti-immunoglobulin binding assays with liver homogenate as the target tissue. In both cases, a major component of the antibodies generated was autoantibody directed at a liver-specific antigen localized intracellularly in hepatocytes. These autoantibodies could not be detected by binding or cytotoxicity assays on lymphocyte targets. In addition, a component of the antibodies was shown to be directed against a liver-specific alloantigen located on the external and intracellular membranes of hepatocytes, and coded for by a locus not linked to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Alloantibodies were also demonstrated to both SD-type (RT.1A) and Ia-type (RT.1B) antigens of the MHC, with a preponderance of anti-SD antibodies.
A Novel Approach towards the Design and Implementation of Virtual Network Based on Controller in Future IoT Applications

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The Internet of Things refers (IoT) to the billions of physical devices around the globe that are connected to the Internet, collecting and sharing data. The overall Internet of Things market is projected to be worth more than 50.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2020. IoT devices possess low processing capabilities, limited memory, limited storage, and minimal network protocol support. With the help of cloud computing technology, we can overcome the limited resources of IoT devices. A lot of research has been conducted on IoT device virtualization to facilitate remote access and control. The concept of virtualization in IoT is to provide a virtual representation of physical devices in the form of virtual objects. IoT devices are more likely to be accessed and communicate through virtual objects in the near future. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of building a virtual IoT network for a smart home. The virtual network is based on virtual objects and IoT controller. We derived the concept from Software Defined Network (SDN) and separated the control plane and data plane in the virtual IoT network. This enhanced the rapid development of diverse applications on top of the virtualization layer by establishing a dynamic end-to-end connection between IoT devices. This article briefly explains the design and development of the virtual network. Results achieved during experiments and performance analysis show that IoT controller enhances the capabilities of a virtual network by dynamically controlling the traffic congestion, handling mapping requests, and routing mechanisms.
Somatostatin Secreted by Islet δ-Cells Fulfills Multiple Roles as a Paracrine Regulator of Islet Function

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

OBJECTIVE— Somatostatin (SST) is secreted by islet δ-cells and by extraislet neuroendocrine cells. SST receptors have been identified on α- and β-cells, and exogenous SST inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion, consistent with a role for SST in regulating α- and β-cell function. However, the specific intraislet function of δ-cell SST remains uncertain. We have used Sst−/− mice to investigate the role of δ-cell SST in the regulation of insulin and glucagon secretion in vitro and in vivo. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS— Islet morphology was assessed by histological analysis. Hormone levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in control and Sst−/− mice in vivo and from isolated islets in vitro. RESULTS— Islet size and organization did not differ between Sst−/− and control islets, nor did islet glucagon or insulin content. Sst−/− mice showed enhanced insulin and glucagon secretory responses in vivo. In vitro stimulus-induced insulin and glucagon secretion was enhanced from perifused Sst−/− islets compared with control islets and was inhibited by exogenous SST in Sst−/− but not control islets. No difference in the switch-off rate of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was observed between genotypes, but the cholinergic agonist carbamylcholine enhanced glucose-induced insulin secretion to a lesser extent in Sst−/− islets compared with controls. Glucose suppressed glucagon secretion from control but not Sst−/− islets. CONCLUSIONS— We suggest that δ-cell SST exerts a tonic inhibitory influence on insulin and glucagon secretion, which may facilitate the islet response to cholinergic activation. In addition, δ-cell SST is implicated in the nutrient-induced suppression of glucagon secretion.
HUMIDITY SENSOR USING CuO NANORICES THIN FILM

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a humidity sensor based on CuO has been successfully fabricated. Thin-film of CuO nanorices were synthesized by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method on silicon wafer with Si3N4thinlayer as a substrate. The microstructure and morphology of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Humidity sensing properties of the thin films have been studied. The sensing response has been measured in the relative humidity (RH) range from 20 up to 80 % at room temperature. It was found that impedance of the system decreases as the RH was increased. The prepared sensor revealed good reversibility with response and recovery time of 130 s and 320 s respectively. The complex impedance spectra were analyzed in the range of 0.1 to 1 kHz. This type of humidity sensor can be used as a new generation of ecological sensors with low cost and good stability. It makes the sensor a candidate for practical applications.
The use of individually administered cognitive abilities tests with academically "at-risk" children.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to gather information about criterion-related and construct test validity as applied to a referral or "at-risk" sample. Two individually administered cognitive abilities tests, the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III) and the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery-Revised Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJ-R Cog), frequently used in the special education placement decision process have recently been revised. Before test generalizations obtained from the standardization sample can be presumed to apply to a referral or "at-risk" sample, research is needed to explore the applicability of these assumptions to this population. No previous research has used a random sample of children referred for special education evaluation who are not yet placed into a program to explore the construct and concurrent validity of both complete test batteries. A random sample of 183 students referred for possible special education placement was used. Ages ranged from 6 to 16 years. Students were classified into three age groups, four ethnic groups, and six possible special education classifications, including a non-placed category. Data were analyzed using a variety of techniques including: exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, stepwise multiple regression, and multiple discriminant function analysis. Findings of this study support the four factor WISC-III model and the seven factor WJ-R Cog model. Study results indicate a concurrent verbal component (approximately 50%) comprised of the WISC-III VC factor and the WJ-R Cog Gc, Gs, and Ga factors. This verbal component was the best composite predictor variable of academic achievement. Although "at-risk" students scored lower on these verbal component factors, BWL, or broad written language, was the best single discriminator variable in both a six and two group analyses. Special education classifications were examined for specific category profiles and the ACID/ACIDS profile was investigated. This study initiated information about the underlying test constructs and how these constructs relate to each other when given to an "at-risk" referral sample. It is hoped that this study will stimulate further research in this area.
Fine Mapping of qTGW7b, a Minor Effect QTL for Grain Weight in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Grain weight is a key trait that determines rice quality and yield, and it is primarily controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL). Recently, attention has been paid to minor QTLs. A minor effect QTL qTGW7 that controls grain weight was previously identified in a set of chromosomal fragment substitution lines (CSSLs) derived from Nipponbare (NPB)/93-11. Compared to NPB, the single segment substitution line (SSSL) N83 carrying the qTGW7 introgression exhibited an increase in grain length and width and a 4.5% increase in grain weight. Meanwhile, N83 was backcrossed to NPB to create a separating population, qTGW7b, a QTL distinct from qTGW7, which was detected between markers G31 and G32. Twelve near-isogenic lines (NILs) from the BC9F3 population and progeny of five NILs from the BC9F3:4 population were genotyped and phenotyped, resulting in the fine mapping of the minor effect QTL qTGW7b to the approximately 86.2-kb region between markers G72 and G32. Further sequence comparisons and expression analysis confirmed that five genes, including Os07g39370, Os07g39430, Os07g39440, Os07g39450, and Os07g39480, were considered as the candidate genes underlying qTGW7b. These results provide a crucial foundation for further cloning of qTGW7b and molecular breeding design in rice.
Poor Sleep Quality in post-COVID-19 – Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Questionnaire

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Since the global outbreak of COVID-19, knowledge about the long-term effects of the disease has grown rapidly. One of the symptoms of post- COVID-19 condition is sleep disturbance. This study aims to analyse the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on sleep quality, using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire (PSQI), administered by phone, in a group of 82 patients, who were hospitalised with COVID-19 between March 2020 and February 2021 in two hospital units in Romania. The demographics data were retrospectively collected from patients charts. In addition to the PSQI questionnaire, health-related questions, such as post-COVID-19 symptoms were also asked. The overall results showed that sleep quality was significantly affected in post COVID-19 patients, as indicated by a PSQI score ≥ 5. This follow-up questionnaire, conducted three years later shows the persistence of poor sleep quality in these patients. Excessive worry about the progression of the pandemic, experiencing an unfamiliar disease, financial difficulties and social problems contributed to sleep impairment. Poor sleep quality can be an important symptom of various sleep and medical disorders. Since sleep quality impacts daytime functioning it remains an important clinical construct.
An Examination of Parental Skill Acquisition Resulting From a State-Wide Dissemination of SafeCare®

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Erin McFry An Examination of Parental Skill Acquisition Resulting from a State-Wide Dissemination of SafeCare. (Under the direction of Daniel J. Whitaker, Ph.D.) Family level data was collected from those served in a state-wide rollout of SafeCare® in Georgia between January of 2010 and November of 2011. Families who received SafeCare were trained in the intervention’s three modules: Parent-Child or Parent-Infant Interaction, Home Safety, and Child Health. The purpose of this study was to measure changes in parental skill demonstration by analyzing preand post-training assessments. Additionally, parental demographic characteristics were also assessed for associations with skill acquisition within each module. Follow-up analysis concluded that families displayed increases in parenting skills among all SafeCare modules. Moderator analysis showed that those with only one child showed greater decreases in home hazards as did those with two children. Also, it was found that income level moderated performance in the Parent-Child Interaction module with participants below the median income level exhibiting a greater increase in PCI skill demonstration than those above the median income level. Further research should consider modeling multiple parental characters (e.g. CPS status and income) with skill performance over time. Lastly, additional research should aim to determine if those who exhibit increases in parenting skills are also less likely to experience future child maltreatment reports.

Laser Doppler for Accurate Diagnosis of Oehler’s Type III Dens Invaginatus: A Case Report

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

In vital pulp therapy, pulp testing aids in the differential diagnosis and influences the treatment plan. Different from previous doppler flowmetry studies that only recorded waves and data, we report the first time, the use of a laser doppler blood flow monitor and imager with a colored image to present pulp vitality information in the dental field. We report here a case of Oehlers type IIIa dens invaginatus of the right upper lateral incisor in a 31-year-old girl, with the opening of the invagination near CDJ and a peri-invagination lesion sized 8 × 9 mm2. Cone beam computed tomography was used to verify specific spatial and stereoscopic data. After removing the source of infection, mineral trioxide aggregate was selected to fill the invagination. Laser doppler was scheduled for further assessment. After three years of regular follow-up, the patient’s clinical condition improved, the peri-invagination lesion healed, and the laser doppler and electric pulp test both showed a positive reaction. Laser doppler has successfully improved the diagnostic accuracy Thus, unnecessary interventions can be avoided while reducing the treatment time by preserving the vitality. However, further work is needed to resolve the limitations of laser doppler.
Fan geographies and engagement between geopolitics of Brexit, Donald Trump, and Doctor Who on social media

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The 2016 Brexit decision and Donald Trump's election to the US presidency that same year led to a wide variety of social media activity, ranging from visceral anger to unadulterated jubilation. How members of particular fandoms choose to express their emotions regarding a geopolitical event can be filtered through the lens of their fannish enthusiasm. Analysis of Doctor Who-influenced geopolitical engagement on Facebook that uses case studies of both Brexit and Donald Trump's election and 2017 inauguration shows that fans used Doctor Who to cope with emotionally taxing geopolitical events and expressed their anguish through the lens of selected Doctor Who plotlines. This use of social media permits fans to shape a new geopolitical landscape within which they can grapple with their political surroundings as influenced by their fandom.
