Reconsideration of middle Eocene to lower Oligocene geohistory in the western Hokkaido, Japan, based on foraminiferal assemblages.

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Geohistorical implications of several middle Eocene-lower Oligocene formations distributed in the western Hokkaido are restudied mainly from published data of foraminiferal assemblages. These formations are correlative to the Poronai and Momijiyama formations.Foraminiferal assemblages from the Utsunai and Magaribuchi formations in northernmost part of Hokkaido indicate paleobathymetric change from the upper bathyal to sublittoral zones. Those from the lower part of the Sankebetsu Formation in Chikubetsu-Haboro area indicate the shallower paleobathymetric zones than the upper bathyal zone, and those from the Shimokine and overlying Tappu formations indicate transgression from none-marine condition to the upper bathyal zone.These paleobathymetric changes and the geologic ages determined by calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy show that the transgression which generated the Poronai Sea occurred from east to west and reached maximum depths in the late Eocene (CP 15b). Previous interpretation that paleo-topography of the Poronai Sea as an embayment can not be accepted, because there is no evidence that shallower bathymetric zones existed in the eastern part of this sea.

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

本文通过变量指数函数来研究一类半线性抛物方程的局部解的爆破性质。在齐次狄利克雷条件的有限域中，变量指数函数认为是非负有界的。通过指数函数的边界条件，可以确定半线性抛物方程局部解在大初始数据条件和任意初始数据条件下爆破的条件。最后，对方程所有爆破性质进行总结，证明所分析的方程满足一个Fujita类型的结论，即方程的解可以在变量指数函数和域的大小这些条件确定的任意非平凡初始数据中产生爆破。 This article uses the variable index function to research the local solution of a class of semilinear parabolic equations of the blasting quality. In the limited domain of homogeneous Dirichlet condi-tion, variable index function is the non-negative and bounded. With boundary condition of expo-nential function, we can define the local solution of semilinear parabolic equation at the condition of big initial data and arbitrary initial data of blasting conditions. Finally, we summarize all blasting properties about equations, and it was proved that the equation satisfies a Fujita type of conclusion; namely equation solution can be blasting in the variable index function and the size of domain that conditions of the nontrivial initial data are determinated.
20th Century Trends in the Rhythmic Interpretation of the Cantigas de Santa Maria (Honors)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The musical notation of the Cantigas de Santa Maria has been a nebulous issue for the majority of the 20th century. This paper discusses recent trends in the rhythmic interpretation of the Cantigas manuscripts, from the theories of the early 20th century scholars through the varied approaches taken by later 20th century early music ensembles in performance.
Effects of protein supplementation on 4 weeks of alternate-day fasting on blood parameters and body composition in young men

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Alternate-day fasting (ADF) is effective in weight loss via muscle and fat loss. However, it is not known if protein supplementation during ADF will reduce muscle loss during loss of body mass. The study was conducted to examine the effects of protein supplementation on 4-weeks of ADF on blood parameters and body composition in young men with body mass index (BMI) of 23kg/m2 or greater. Participants fasted every other day for 28 days. On fasting days, they consumed 400-600 kcal inclusive of a whey supplement (125kcal, 25g protein) between 12 to 2pm. Body composition, body height and weight, fasting blood pressure and plasma glucose were assessed at before and after 4-weeks of ADF. These measurements, except body composition, will be repeated at the end of each week of ADF. There is a significant reduction in body weight (P = .004), fat mass (P = .003), BMI (P = .004) and percentage body fat (P = .002). No significant changes were seen in fat free mass (P = .053), blood pressure and heart rate (P < .05) from baseline. While fat free mass lost (0.87kg [-0.01, 1.76]) was not statistically significant (P = .053), it’s effect size was moderate (Cohen’s d = 0.66). In conclusion, 4 weeks of ADF is effective in overweight and obese young men as a short-term alternative to weight loss through fat and muscle loss. Protein supplementation have a protective effect on fat free mass. However, 0.87kg of fat free mass lost is clinically important.
Integrating K12 Outreach with Undergraduate & Graduate Student Research through BalloonSAT: High Altitude Balloons

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The Arkansas BalloonSAT team has successfully launched and recovered 37 BalloonSAT’s dating back to the first flight on December 16, 2006. Numerous instruments measuring such things as atmospheric temperature, humidity, radiation, and light intensity have recorded data from different locations over the State of Arkansas. The initial focus of this project was outreach with the k-12 schools, and still involves outreach; however atmospheric research has become a significant component for this endeavor. This ongoing collaborative projection has involved a number of faculty and students from different academic backgrounds, including physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy among different ASGC schools who have contributed to this effort. Members of the team have presented at state, regional, national, as well as international conferences. The outreach work with k-12 teachers/students was highlighted in an article Students at the Edge of Space published in the journal The Science Teacher produced by the National Science Teachers Association (January 2008). A photograph taken from a camera mounted in one of the payload boxes flown on Arkansas BalloonSAT 6 made the cover of this journal. Tethered Blimps are a new additional to this program. The investigators have form an initial network of five Arkansas middle & high schools to observe weather trends across the state and engage midlevel & secondary teachers and students in a collaborative research project. These teachers will receive training, equipment, and 13 foot tethered blimps in June 2015. The project aims include but are not limited to identifying urban heat island effects by comparing schools from rural areas and urban areas, and daily variations in relative humidity. A number of these schools are located in rural farming areas where CH4 and CO2 levels will be measured from just above the surface with the blimps to the lower stratosphere via balloons.
Food waste profile in Brazilian Food and Nutrition Units and the implemented corrective actions

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Food waste directly affect food security. It was estimated that the amount of food wasted in the world may be enough to feed roughly two billion people. In Brazil, food waste reaches up to 39,000 tons per day, putting it among the 10 countries that waste the most food in the world. Since Food and Nutrition units (FNUs) are responsible to produce meals for the community, they also generate a large part of this food waste. Several factors can contribute to a high rate of waste, such as insufficient planning, a lack of awareness among consumers, and little menu variety. The objective of this study was to carry out a survey of the profile of food waste involving intake leftovers (Leftover food that was returned on consumer trays or plates) and clean leftovers (Leftovers foods that were produced but not distributed, and that remained in the vats) in regions of Brazil that occurred in FNUs of different types and structures. We also analyzed the main causes of food waste, and the main actions taken to solve this problem. This study advocates for a national awareness campaign against food waste and reducing the cost of FNUs.

Comparative Study on Chloride Ion Permeation Resistance of Polyurea Coated Cement Mortar under the Coupling Effects of Bending Load, Dry-wet Cycle and NaCl Solution Immersion

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Concrete structures in service are exposed to the combined effect of load and environment. This paper determines the free chloride ion content and the chloride diffusion coefficient in the polyurea coated mortar specimens while exposed to: the co-action of dry-wet cycle and NaCl solution immersion, the co-action of bending load and NaCl solution immersion and the coupling effect of bending load, dry-wet cycle and NaCl solution immersion. Furthermore, the scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) is applied to observe the micro-morphology of the interface between the substrate and the polyurea coating. The results show that, after 90 days of NaCl solution immersion and dry-wet cycles, the chloride ion content of polyurea coated mortar at 6mm depth amounts to 0.0153%, and the chloride diffusion coefficient refers to 1.56Ã—10- 12m2/s. Under 90 days of bending load and NaCl solution immersion, the chloride ion content increases with rising load and when the bending load is 50%, the chloride ion content of polyurea coated mortar at 6mm depth amounts to 0.0163%, the chloride diffusion coefficient refers to 1.92Ã—10-12m2/s, and the polyurea coated mortar features relatively good resistance towards chloride ion permeation. Under the coupling effect of bending load, dry-wet cycle and NaCl solution immersion, compared to the single NaCl solution immersion, the chloride ion content of polyurea coated mortar accumulates to 40.60%, the chloride diffusion coefficient amounts to3.76Ã—10-12m2/s and the resistance towards chloride ion permeation decreases slightly. The SEM morphology results show that, under the coupling effects of above mentioned factors, polyurea coating provides a prominent sealing function, preventing the corrosive media from permeating. The polyurea coating exhibits good resistance to chloride ion permeation under the coupling effects caused by stated factors above.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

objective To evaluate the value of the 64-slice spiral CT perfusion in gastric stromal tumor. Material and methods the CT perfusion images between 10 cases of normal patients and 43 cases of gastric stromal tumor were analyzed, which included time density curve (TDC), Blood Flow, (BF), Blood Volume, (BV), Mean through Time (MTT) and Permeability Surface (PS). Results Gastric stromal tumor patients with BV and PS figures were shown as red, yellow and blue color change. The value differences of the BF, MTT, PS were statistically significant between gastric stromal tumor group and normal gastric group (p 0.05). There had no statistical significance between low grade group and medium-high grade group in BF, BV, MTT and PS values (p > 0.05). Conclusion 64 slice spiral CT perfusion imaging can reflect the normal gastric tissue from the level of microcirculation, hemodynamic characteristics of gastric stromal tumor and offer more quantitative information from a functional perspective for the diagnosis of gastric stromal tumor. It also provides an effective means for the further research of oncology therapy, judgment of curative effect and prognosis monitoring.

Review Of Methodological Issues in Cost-Effectiveness Analyses Relating to Injecting Drug Users, and Case-Study Illustrations

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Summary Guidelines for good practice in cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) are available from the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, which address the scope of the CEA study, appropriateness of the data used and how to account for model as well as statistical uncertainty. Within these three broad headings, we identify 10 specific issues that may affect materially the CEA of a public health intervention for which injecting drug users are a major target group. The 10 issues relate to injecting drug users' under-representation in randomized controlled trials; their risk of blood-borne viruses—such as human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus—which have long-term chronic sequelae, their markedly higher age-specific mortality than in the general population and the relapsing–remitting nature of opiate dependence with its associated risk of overdose. We consider how adequately three key UK CEAs accounted for the relevant injecting drug user specific issues that we have highlighted. The three case-studies are antiviral treatment of carriage of hepatitic C virus, opiate substitution therapy and needle and syringe programmes.

Detection of genetic identity for hybrid Populus x canadensis trees along the Seyhan River

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Populus x canadensis hybrids play an important role for the commercial poplar cultivation with good growth performance and adaptability in the world. Hybrid clones introduced the different region of Turkey replaced the native stands of Populus nigra gradually. Along the Seyhan River there are many mature and young hybrid poplar trees despite of less number of P. nigra as a result of hybrid plantations growing near the river. To detect the genetic identity of hybrid trees, 17 microsatellite markers were studied. Out of ten hybrid trees, seven trees had the different genotype. From the results of current study it is seen that hybrid poplar species reproduce at larger distances from the plantation sites and colonize riparian habitat thereby competing for resources with the native P. nigra species and threaten the genetic diversity of the species with genetic pollution via intogression. From the field trip observation and obtained genetic results, conservation of the native P. nigra trees is an important requirements to prevent the reduction of effective population size and population density. Establishing more seed sources of black poplar over the river stretch could provide the establishment of mainly pure black poplar seedlings nearby the parental stands.
Evaluation of Storage Types with Pot-in-Pot Technique for Preservation of Tomato Fruit in Holeta, Western Shewa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Tomato is one of the most widely cultivated and extensively consumed horticultural crops worldwide. However, it is more vulnerable to post harvest losses than other crops due to its more perishable property. This experiment was, therefore, conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of different storage methods in improving shelf life of tomato fruits. The experiment consisted of three treatments (storage using pot in pot technique, cooling (Refrigerator) and room temperature (control). Which were laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. A total of 138 tomato fruits with uniform maturity stage, shape and size were collected from Holeta Horticulture research field and 46 fruits were randomly assigned to each treatment. Highly significant (P&lt;0.001) minimum loss of physicochemical properties (pH, TA and TSS) along time (1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days) was observed for fruits stored using pot in pot technique. The highest mean weight loss percentage was observed for fruits stored under room temperature. Results of sensory evaluation along time revealed that there was highly significant difference (P&lt;0.001) among the treatments. Accordingly, the highest mean scores of firmness (4.07+0.87), color (4.08+1.03) and overall acceptability (4.00+0.92) were recorded for tomato fruits stored using pot in pot technique at 18°C, while the value for general appearance (3.92+0.94) was higher for fruits in refrigerator at 13°C. In general, pot in pot method was found to be best suited for 30days storage period at 18°C without much affecting quality of tomato fruits.
An evaluation of knee adduction moment, varus thrust, and ground reaction force before and after total knee arthroplasty in osteoarthritic knee patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Frontal plane gait deviations have been identified as important factors for the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA), especially in the medial compartment. External knee adduction moment (KAM), varus thrust, and ground reaction forces (GRF) within the osteoarthritic population were examined before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Ten adult volunteers preparing to undergo TKA were recruited and a control group consisting of 11 volunteers from the community. A longitudinal repeated measures design was conducted prior to TKA and three weeks, six weeks, three months and six months post-surgery. External KAM in OA patients reduced after surgery, however, progressively increased over time, approaching baseline numbers at six months. Varus thrust increased overtime reaching numbers double baseline values in OA patients. The GRF was lower in the knee OA patients compared to controls and remained decreased throughout study. While walking velocity may be a factor in GRF and thereby KAM, the increase cannot fully explain the increase in KAM after surgery. Weak knee stabilizers and altered gait mechanics could potentially explain the continued increase in varus thrust. Also, static alignment and joint instability may be an integral part to the increases of KAM and varus thrust that needs to be studied more thoroughly. Further research on strengthening and gait retraining protocols following TKA, may help to better understand these biomechanical factors and their effect on the progression of knee OA. Key Words: Osteoarthritis, knee, frontal gait biomechanics, total knee arthroplasty, external knee adduction moment, varus thrust, ground reaction forces.
Understanding Newcomers' Adaptability and Work-Related Outcomes: Testing the Mediating Roles of Perceived P-E Fit Variables

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Using longitudinal data from a Chinese newcomer sample (N = 671), we investigated the predictive effects of adaptability on newcomers’ work-related outcomes. Specifically, we tested 4 perceived P-E fit variables (i.e., P-O fit, needs – supplies fit, demands – abilities fit, and P-G fit) as mediators between adaptability variables and newcomers’ work-related outcomes. Our results showed that after controlling for demographic effects and other personality variables (i.e., proactive personality and openness to experience), newcomers’ adaptability dimensions (i.e., cultural adaptability, work stress adaptability, interpersonal adaptability, and learning adaptability) were differentially associated with improvement in newcomers’ P-E fit perceptions over a 3-month time period. In turn, the perceived P-E fit variables were related to the newcomers’ work-related outcomes (i.e., job performance, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions), after controlling for the socialization process variables (i.e., institutionalized socialization experience, role clarity, and job-related self-efficacy). The mediating roles of perceived P-E fit variables were also confirmed. Both theoretical and practical implications in terms of adaptability, newcomer adaptation processes, and P-E fit are discussed.
Using Qualitative Research Methods to Assess Education Abroad

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter provides a distinction between qualitative and quantitative approaches, an overview of the research process, a brief background of the rise of the qualitative approach, an overview of a "mixed methods" approach, and a discussion of six qualitative methods useful in assessing international education. Other topics addressed are the importance of asking good questions, controlling for bias, and using triangulation. Case studies and examples of how qualitative methods have been used to assess study abroad are provided throughout. Although quantitative and qualitative approaches are often presented as coming from and supporting contrasting paradigms (positivistic versus postpositivistic), today a growing number of researchers use mixed methods, downplaying the philosophical divide and drawing from the strengths of both approaches. External and internal pressures to justify the expense of a college degree have led institutions of higher education to embrace outcomes-based education.
