Close Elections and Cognitive Engagement

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Existing research has focused primarily on the extent to which close elections affect turnout. While turnout is important, campaigns can also serve a social function by cultivating cognitive engagement. This article thus focuses on the extent to which close elections stimulate cognitive engagement among citizens. Observational data analysis suggests that close elections have a positive effect on cognitive engagement in senate campaigns. Experimental data analysis suggests that when close-election reminders appear in campaign discourse, citizens respond with greater cognitive engagement, as measured by a cognitive-response task and an information-seeking task. When reminded that a race is close, subjects think more about the candidates. They also seek more issue-based information, less group-based information, and read more about the election. Altogether, the results demonstrate that close elections increase citizen engagement.

Molecular modeling of mutant kinase domain of Btk, a Tec family member, for structure prediction

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

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), a member of non-receptor tyrosine kinases, is one of the crucial kinases for the B-cell maturation and mast cell activation. This work was planned to develop the full length Btk protein structure via different approaches. The threading approach provided suitable full length Btk protein structure. Furthermore, this structure was utilized to predict the consequences of 16 selected missense mutations in the kinase domain (402 to 651) around Y551, a first tyrosine to be autophosphorylated and important for downstream signaling. Valuable information gathered from this work is an insight for analyzing protein structural changes and their effects on protein stability. The amino acid residues at positions 554, 559 and 562 were considered critical as per their involvement and presence near the catalytic site, peptide substrate binding pocket and their linkage with other amino acid residues resulting in the disturbance of structural integrity. Key words: Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), in silico, kinase domain, comparative homology modeling, autophosphorylation.
The aesthetic of the Irish lyric : W.B. Yeats and Derek Mahon

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis shows how the lyric is the chosen poetic mode in the mature work of W.B. Yeats and is a symbolism whose influence is shown in the work of Derek Mahon. The lyric grants freedom from representation, by showing that the priority of its discourse or aesthetic is ensured through the resistance of ‘nature’ that is implied in the poetic genre. Therefore, this is what the lyric imparts: the aesthetic emotion that defines the poetic medium. This awareness of what the lyric is suggests a complex interaction with reality. Yeats, in particular, demonstrates the epistemological crisis of the lyric as being embodied in aesthetic discourse. Therefore, he shows the importance of the consideration of the very language of the lyric – beyond its representation within a dogmatic understanding of tradition present in the idea of the Romantic lyric. For Mahon, the mode of feeling that the lyric represents proposes a case for, or defense of, the eternal character of poetry. As such, it is threatened by its history as much as the Romantic lyric was by ‘nature,’ through which Mahon appears to discern the crisis of contemporary poetry in the need to establish a reason for the continuation of the poetic tradition. The ‘Irish lyric,’ then, stands for the respective poets’s committment to the lyric form in their work, whose implications in terms of theme or subject matter are considered in this dissertation. I am concerned with the conditions for an aesthetic of the ‘Irish lyric,’ as seen in these poets who represent it, against a pressing political reality that is both within and without for the modern or contemporary poet.
Mi Amor - A Privacy-Enhanced Environment for Online Matchmaking

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

With the growing popularity of online dating
platforms, concerns regarding user privacy and data
security have become increasingly significant. In this
research paper, we propose a dating web application
that prioritizes user privacy while offering secure data
management. The application incorporates a unique face
recognition system, horoscope-based matching,
compatibility percentage, and location-based filtering to
help users find potential partners with ease. By
employing face verification at regular intervals, the
application ensures that users are personally engaged in
conversations, reducing the possibility of third-party
involvement and increasing transparency[2].
Furthermore, the application employs a comprehensive
registration process, including face registration, to
minimize fake accounts and enhance user authenticity.
Users have the flexibility to customize their profiles by
appending horoscopes, editing bios, and adding
images[1]. The application streamlines the matching
process, allowing users to double-tap to express interest
and swipe left or right to view the next profile. A
bookmarking feature is also provided to facilitate future
interactions or changes in user actions. Notably, the
application eliminates the common practice of charging
users to identify who has liked their profiles, providing
instant access to interested individuals and fostering
prompt communication. To enhance user experience, the
application employs scrolling functionality for profile
browsing and empowers users with the ability to
personalize the application's themes to suit their
preferences[1]. Once mutual interest is established, a
real-time chat messaging feature is activated, enabling
users to engage in meaningful conversations and foster
connections. The backend infrastructure leverages Face
Net and other machine learning models to implement the
proposed functionalities effectively. The process involves
registering the user's face during initial setup, followed
by regular face verification at 60-second intervals. To
optimize storage and processing, a machine learning
model is employed to extract and store only the essential
features from the images, resulting in efficient data
management and improved processing speed[11].
Incidence of Cereal Rusts in Cultivar Trials, 1958–67

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY Wheat yellow rust was found to be the most frequent and serious rust in cereal trials during the period 1958–67. Barley yellow rust, particularly on spring sown trials, was the next most frequent rust. The other rusts, brown rust and black stem rust on wheat, brown rust on barley and crown rust on oats occurred infrequently and at low intensity. Brown rust and black stem rust of wheat and brown rust on barley occurred mainly in the south of the country whilst crown rust on oats was of importance only at the trial centre in the south‐west. Weather conditions during and immediately after harvest, August‐October, seem to be of prime importance in influencing epidemics of yellow rust. But meteorological factors during other seasons of the year may modify the severity of epidemics. Wet, cool and cloudy conditions during the harvest and post‐harvest period appear to be a pre‐requisite of severe yellow rust on wheat.
Biometric Verification using Periocular Features based on Convolutional Neural Network

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Periocular recognition is a biometric identification technology that uses the unique patterns and features of the skin surrounding the eye, such as the eyelids, eyelashes, and eyebrows, to recognize individuals. It is considered a subset of facial recognition technology, as the periocular region is a critical component of the face and contains important distinguishing features. Periocular recognition is becoming increasingly popular due to its high accuracy and usability in a variety of applications, including security and law enforcement, healthcare, and financial services. The process of periocular recognition involves capturing a digital image or video of the periocular region, extracting unique features using computer algorithms, and comparing these features to a pre-existing database of known individuals to identify a match. The network is trained on a collection of periocular pictures and their related IDs in order to employ Xception CNN for periocular identification. The network gains the ability to extract identifying characteristics from these photos that are discriminative. Experimental shows that the Xception CNN provide promising results in the recognition of periocular images.
Client segmentation in the law business

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

As a rule, lawyers assume that their clients’ requirements and expectations elude standardisation. They believe that each client has to be treated individually in every respect: from the client approach and the identification of the matter to be dealt with to service provision and invoicing. This attitude towards clients is undoubtedly honourable, but it also romanticises the relationship between lawyers and clients and often gets in the way of efficient service provision. What do I mean by this?
Surface charge density of the track-etched nanopores in polyethylene terephthalate foils

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Surface charge is one of the most important properties of nanopores, which determines the nanopore performance in many practical applications. We report the surface charge densities of track-etched nanopores, which were obtained by measuring the streaming current and pore conductance, respectively. Experimental results reveal that surface charge densities depend significantly on the salt concentrations. In addition the values obtained with the pore conductance were always several times higher than those calculated with the streaming current, and the gel-like surface layer on the nanopore was considered to be responsible for this discrepancy.
Um estudo de caso sobre o uso do artigo em inscrições dialetais gregas

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper aims at discussing the usage of the definite article with common nouns in Ancient Greek (AG), based on a case-study of the noun ἡμέραις (hēmerais/day.dat.pl) in epigraphic inscriptions. We propose that the use of the article in the inscriptions can be accounted for by the grammaticalization of identifiability (Lyons, 1999). Given that the article appeared in AG through the grammaticalization of the demonstrative (Roberts; Roussou, 2003), we postulate that its use began as a marker for contexts in which the referents of the nouns were identifiable by their description. Diachronically, and during the time span of our corpus (containing inscriptions from V BC to III AD), the language has formalized some contexts as arthrous, to be marked as definite – starting from the prototypically identifiable ones –, and some as anarthrous. Namely, anaphoric nouns or nouns modified by qualifying adjuncts are always arthrous, even when the referent is not properly identifiable, while quantifying adjuncts occur with nouns that are anarthrous. Consequently, the distribution of the presence and absence of article did not happen evenly throughout the variants of AG: only Gortyn’s dialect marks with an article nouns that do not have either a qualifying modifier or anaphor, but only quantification. The first section presents the studies on the definiteness of AG. The second section discusses instances in which the nominal heads have modifiers. The third section analyses the occurrences in which the noun is arthrous only with a cardinal number as modifier, and the fourth gathers the conclusion of the analysis.
0599 Sleep Stage Transition Patterns Among Youth with CNS Disorders of Hypersomnolence

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is associated with frequent sleep stage transitions during nocturnal sleep. In this study, we report the pattern of sleep stage transitions that occurs and its relationship to CSF-orexin levels among pediatric NT1 patients. Furthermore, we study the patterns of sleep stage transitions in patients with Narcolepsy Type 2 (NT2) and Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH). Methods We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study of nocturnal polysomnograms (PSGs) of a cohort of patients ages 5-21 years with NT1 (n=160), NT2 (n=24), IH (n=28), and subjectively sleepy controls (n=115) collected at Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, MA and University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy. We compared the patterns of transitions between different sleep/wake stages during the nocturnal PSG by diagnostic group as well as by CSF-orexin level (low ≤110 pg/ml; normal &gt;110 pg/ml) using chi-square testing that was adjusted for multiple comparisons. Results NT1 demonstrated a pattern of transitions from wake and all sleep stages except N3 sleep vs. controls, NT2, and IH with frequent transitions between wake and N1 sleep and less frequent transitions from N1 sleep to N2 sleep. The NT2 group had a distinct pattern of transitions from N1 vs. controls with more frequent transitions to REM sleep and less frequent transitions to N2. The IH group showed a similar pattern of sleep/wake transitions vs. controls. The pattern of transitions for the low CSF orexin group was different for all sleep stages and wake vs. normal level with frequent transitions from N2 sleep and REM sleep to wake and N1 sleep. Conclusion Young NT1 patients have a unique pattern of transitions between sleep/wake states. These findings are further confirmed by CSF orexin level. NT2 patients have a pattern of sleep stage transitions more similar to controls with the exception of the transitions from N1 sleep suggesting dysregulation of this light sleep stage. In contrast, the IH group shows patterns of transitions between sleep stages and wake that are similar to controls. Overall, results support differing sleep phenotypes demarcating these patients with severe daytime sleepiness. Support (if any) National Institutes of Health grant 5K23NS104267-2 to K.M
Macro-fungi Community of Lake Ol Bolossat Basin and Associated Riparian Ecosystems in Central, Kenya

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Lake OlBolossat, an important wetland in Central Kenya highland currently threatened by anthropogenic activities. In order to conserve biodiversity in this Lake Ecosystem and associated habitats understanding abundance and diversity of different taxa is needed. This study documented macro-fungi diversity of Lake Ol Bolossat basin and its associated riparian ecosystems. The survey revealed 35 macrofungi species distributed across 21 families. Species in family Polyporaceae and Agaricaceae (mainly the puffball) dominated the Lake ecosystems. Woodrotters species (50%) dominated the ecosystem followed by ectomycorrhiza (17%) and cow-dung dwellers (15%). Termite cultivated species and soil dwellers had the lowest representation (9%). Macro-fungi density, species richness and diversity was significantly low in natural grassland and forest remnants compared to introduced and exotic woodlots. Only three species of macrofungi (Termitomyces microcarpus, Ramariopsis kunzei and Datronia mollis) were documented in natural forests remnants. Natural grassland around the lake was mainly dominated by Termitomyces, Lycoperdon, Panaeolus (cowdung), Psilocybe and Agrocybe species (cowdung). Ectomycorrhiza species (Laccaria bicolor, Pisolithus arrhizus, Suillus granulatus, Scleroderma citrinum) dominated introduced and exotic Eucalyptus, Pinus and Acacia mearnsii plantation. This study has revealed wide range of macro-fungi community in Lake Ol Bolossat basin, and adverse effect of degradation on native macro-fungi community. The negative implication of losing macrofungi diversity along Lake OlBolossat ecosystem is discussed.
Effect of Ohmic Heating on Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris in Orange Juice

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To study the sterilization mechanism of ohmic heating on Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, the microbe was treated by self-made ohmic heating installation. The sterilization effect of ohmic heating on the microbe was observed by environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). Conductometer and ultraviolet spectrophotometer was used to detect the variation of bacterial suspension. ESEM photographs of treated Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris showed that pitting and damage appeared on Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestrisâ€™ surface, which resulted from the ohmic heating. And the increase of the electrical conductivity and the OD value indicate the precipitation of the intracellular contents. Results showed that ohmic heating results in the electroporation phenomenon of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris.
Antioxidant Activity of Artichoke Extracts at Different Ethanol Ratios

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study was performed to evaluate the yield, chromaticity, and antioxidant activity of artichoke extracts with different ethanol concentrations. Samples used in the experiment were purchased with artichoke crushing powder and extracted at ethanol concentrations of 0, 10, 30, 50, and 80%. The yield decreased as the ethanol concentration increased. 0% was the highest at 25.38%. As for the chromaticity measurement value, 10% was the highest for the L value. As the ethanol concentration 0% to 50%, a value, b value, and Chroma value increased together. As a result of the total polyphenol content (mg GAE/g), as the ethanol concentration 0% to 50%, the content also increased, indicating the highest value from 50% to 82.57±0.52 mg GAE/g. In the case of total flavonoid content (mg CE/g), as ethanol concentration 0% to 80%, the content also increased, the highest from 80% to 58.84±047 mg CE/g. DPPH radial erasing ability (mg AEAC/g) and ABTS radical erasing ability (mg AEAC/g) increase as ethanol concentration 0% to 50%, in 50%, 58.01±0.23 mg AEAC/g and 80.87±1.93 mg AEAC/g were the highest. Therefore, when extracting artichokes, it is considered that extracting at an ethanol concentration of 50% is suitable as an optimal extraction condition.
The effect of arsenic overpressure on the structural properties GaAs grown at low temperature

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The structural properties of GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy at low temperatures have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution x-ray double-crystal rocking curves as a function of arsenic overpressure during growth. It was found that surface smoothness and excess arsenic incorporation both depend strongly on growth temperature and on As/Ga flux ratio. For each growth temperature there is a ‘‘window’’ in the flux ratio which results in smooth surfaces. As-grown layers have an increased lattice constant in the growth direction. This relative lattice expansion increases with flux ratio at a constant growth temperature and eventually saturates. Transmission electron micrographs have revealed the presence of arsenic precipitates in material annealed at 600 °C. Increasing the As4 pressure during growth results in increases in precipitate diameter by almost 50% while their density and shape remain constant. Based on these observations a model has been developed to explain the lattice expansion dependence on arsenic overpressure.
Progressive Decline of the Glomerular Filtration Rate in HIV-infected Children Treated With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate-based Regimens in West and Central Africa

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A cross-sectional study of 358 HIV-1-infected children and adolescents living in Sub-Saharan Africa treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based regimens for a median of 1.5 interquartile range [0.6–3.1 years] showed a loss of glomerular filtration rate estimated to be 0.41 mL/min/1.73 m 2 per month of treatment. In contrast, there was no decrease depending on the duration of the previous antiretroviral treatment.
[Study of "The Sūitra of the tranquilization of hemorrhoids" and other relevant material].

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The present paper focuses primarily on a philological and historical study of the Arśapraśamanisūtra ("The Sütra of the tranquilization of hemorrhoids"). This Sūtra is one of the Buddhist scriptures that are characterized by the magico-religious treatment of various diseases, especially by means of "healing spells" (skt. dhāranī or mantra), as shown by the preliminary survey in our previous paper "The Tradition of healing with magical spells as seen in Buddhist texts", Journal of the Japan Society of Medical History 55/1 (2009), 77-96. The original text of the Arśapraśamanisūtra, most probably written in Sanskrit, is lost whereas its Chinese and Tibetan translations have survived. After an introductory summary, we provide critically edited texts of the Tibetan and Chinese translations accompanied by their Japanese translations with critical notes and annotations. In particular, the Tibetan translation presented here has been critically edited for the first time on the basis of collation of the five editions of the Tibetan Buddhist Canon. In our next paper we will analyze the descriptions of hemorrhoids as found in the Sūtra in comparison with those illustrated in classical Ayurveda literature. And we will also offer further observations about the methods and principles for the treatment and healing of hemorrhoid that are attested in Buddhist scriptures.
