Dynamic Load Balancing on Heterogeneous Workstation Clusters with Irregularly Fluctuating Capacity

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A new system for simulating dynamic load balancing on interactively used heterogeneous workstation clusters is presented. Competing workload can be modeled in various ways, from simple fixed rate Poisson arrival processes, over user tracefiles to more sophisticated user behaviour graphs. Instead of running real parallel workload, the program designer builds an application model, which is then run on the simulation system. The simulator provides standard UNIX load averages and can easily be adapted and extended for special purposes. As a case study, a real parallel program is modeled and simulated. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 1 Introduction Heterogeneous workstation clusters are getting increasingly attractive for running parallel software. When running parallel programs on interactively used workstations, program designers have to take care not only of balancing the computational load of their program, but also of reacting to changes of the workstations &apos; workload caused by other user program...
Intra-operative Determination of the Three Dimensional Load-displacement Behavior of Scoliotic Motion Segments

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Finite Element Models can be a helpful tool to investigate new, motion preserving means of treatment of spinal deformities. However, an effective validation is even more challenging than for a healthy spine, as in-vitro experiments are very hard to perform due to the limited availability of human cadaver specimens. Measuring the stiffness of scoliotic motion segments intra-operatively offers the possibility to acquire data in an in-vivo situation and at the pathology of interest. We developed a measurement setup to determine the lateral bending stiffness of motion segments after the opening of the back and before the corrective surgery of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. The apparatus includes a distraction forceps modified to measure force and displacement and an optelectronic camera to track motion. The combination of geometric computer models (vertebral models derived from MRI or CT), motion tracking and forceps data enables the determination of moment and angular displacement measurements for each distraction. The feasibility of this method was validated in a cadaver study using lumbar ovine spines. Measurements were performed with the distraction forceps and compared to equivalent experiments on a spinal loading simulator, as we consider this to be the gold standard for the determination of spinal stiffness. The stiffness computed with the proposed concept was within a range of 15% compared to data obtained with the spinal loading simulator under applied loads of less than 3 Nm. First, intraoperative trials have been performed. The preliminary results confirm the observation that the coupling is such that the anterior portion of the vertebra always rotates into the convexity of the curve when exposed to a left lateral bending.

Being a Woman Is 100% Significant to My Experiences of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism: Exploring the Gendered Implications of an Adulthood Combined Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Diagnosis

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This article provides original insight into women’s experiences of adulthood diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. Research exploring experiences of adulthood diagnoses of these conditions is emerging. Yet, there is no research about the gendered experiences of an adulthood combined ADHD and autism (AuDHD) diagnosis. This article addresses this gap through interpretative phenomenological analysis of email interviews with six late-diagnosed AuDHD women revealing the complex interplay between late diagnosis, being a woman, and combined diagnoses of ADHD and autism. It underscores how gender norms and stereotypes contribute to the oversight and dismissal of women’s neurodivergence. Interpretative phenomenological analysis reveals the inextricability of femininity and neurotypicality, the gendered burden, discomfort, and adverse consequences of masking, along with the adverse outcomes of insufficient masking. Being an undiagnosed AuDHD woman is a confusing and traumatising experience with profound and enduring repercussions. The impact of female hormones exacerbated participants’ struggles with (peri)menopause often being a catalyst for seeking diagnosis after decades of trauma. The epistemic injustice of not knowing they were neurodivergent compounded this trauma. Diagnosis enabled participants to overcome epistemic injustice and moved them into a feminist standpoint from which they challenge gendered inequalities relating to neurodiversity. This article aims to increase understanding and representation of late-diagnosed AuDHD women’s lived experiences. The findings advocate for trauma-informed pre- and post-diagnosis support which addresses the gendered dimension of women’s experiences of being missed and dismissed as neurodivergent. There needs to be better clinical and public understanding of how AuDHD presents in women to prevent epistemic injustice.
hp-DPI:Helicobacter pyloriDatabase of Protein Interactomes—embracing experimental and inferred interactions

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

Abstract Summary: We implemented a statistical model into our protein interaction database for validation of two-hybrid assays of Helicobacter pylori, and prediction of putative protein interactions not yet discovered experimentally. To present the enormous amount of experimental and inferred protein interaction networking maps, the H.pylori Database of Protein Interactomes (hp-DPI) is developed with a succinct yet comprehensive visualization tool integrated with annotation from Genbank, GO, and KEGG. hp-DPI is first built with, but not limited to, H.pylori protein interactions and is expected to naturally include other organisms’ protein interacting relationships in the future.

[Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) in Mexican mestizos: one institution's experience].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is defined as presence of serum monoclonal protein at a concentration of 3 g per deciliter or less, no monoclonal protein or only moderate amounts of monoclonal light chains in urine, absence of lytic bone lesions, anemia, hypercalemia, and renal insufficiency related with monoclonal protein, and with a proportion of plasma cells in bone marrow of 10% or less. In Caucasian population, MGUS affects about 3% of individuals > 70 years of age, whereas in Mexican mestizos this figure is substantially lower (0.7%); on the other hand, MGUS represents in Mexico only 2.4% of all monoclonal gammopathies. In a total of 9081 individuals studied prospectively at the Centro de Hematología y Medicina Interna de Puebla throughout a 20-year period, 11 patients with MGUS were identified. Median age was 70 years (range 43-83 years). Patients have been followed in periods ranging from 6 to 3270 days (median, 308 days). Two patients evolved into overt multiple myeloma at 308 and 1687 days after diagnosis of MGUS. Overall median survival (SV) of the group has not been reached, whereas 3270 days overall SV is 91%. After discussing underreporting, biasing, and other confounding factors, it would seem that MGUS, like other monoclonal gammopathies, is less frequent in Mexican mestizos than in Caucasians. Routine screening studies to identify the condition should result in increased numbers of patients.
Finite Element Investigation of Out-of-Position Failure Modes for the Knee-Thigh-Hip of a 50th Percentile Male During a Frontal Car Crash

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The introduction of air bags has reduced injuries to the upper region of the body for occupants of vehicles in frontal crashes, such as head and thorax. Airbags have not, however, improved the safety of occupants with respect to injuries to the lower extremities. Though lower extremity injuries are usually not life threatening, they can have long lasting physical and psychosocial consequences. A validated Knee-Thigh-Hip (KTH) finite element model of a 50th percentile male was used to investigate injury mechanisms during frontal car crashes with the occupant in different positions. Simulations of frontal impacts were performed with the Knee-Thigh-Hip joints at different angles of thigh flexion, adduction and abduction. Results show that the failure mechanism can significantly depend on the occupant position prior to impact. Failure mechanisms in the simulations were compared to results found in literature to ensure the model provides a useful tool for predicting fractures in the lower limb resulting from out-of-position frontal vehicle crashes.

A comparative study of perceptions of gender and leadership in Australian and Turkish universities

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper analyses differences in perceptions of gender and leadership though qualitative interviews with 45 senior managers in Australia and Turkey. The literature suggests that masculine models of leadership are changing with both women and many men preferring transformational leadership styles. The research found that there were different perceptions about gender and leadership in Australian and Turkish universities, reflecting different economic and social contexts. Turkish respondents mostly did not engage in discussion on the topic and did not consider women experienced discrimination as managers. In contrast, Australian respondents acknowledged discrimination and supported interventions by Vice-Chancellors (VCs) to increase women in university management. Perceptions of leadership in Turkish universities were aligned with a predominantly masculine/transactional model, and in Australia had moved from heroic masculinity to more inclusive leadership styles, consistent with a transformational leadership model.
Lorentz Violation in Fermion-Antifermion Decays of Spinless Particles

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

If Lorentz and CPT violation exist, they could affect the decays of scalar and pseudoscalar particles. For a decay into a fermion and an antifermion (not necessarily of the same mass), both the total decay rate and the outgoing particle distribution may be modified, through interference between the conventional decay mechanism and a separate Lorentz-violating mechanism. The modifications are sensitive to forms of Lorentz violation that are otherwise rather difficult to study, since at tree level they do not affect particle propagation, but only interaction vertices. Using existing experimental data on charged pion decay, it is possible to constrain three parameters in the modified pion-muon-neutrino coupling at better than the $10^{-9}$ level; these are the first bounds on these quantities.
A Nice and Friendly Chat with a Bot: User Perceptions of AI-Based Service Agents

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

As more organizations establish artificial intelligence-based service agents to offer an automated customer dialogue it is crucial to understand how users perceive this new form of technology-mediated communication. AI-based service agents interact in a similar way as humans in human-to-human chat conversations, but instead of a live person on the other end, a chat bot steers the communication based on artificial intelligence and Natural Language Interaction. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, we examine this context and explore the role of perceived authenticity and its impact on usersâ attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. Our results from the qualitative studies show that users infer the authenticity of the AI-based service agents based on two different categories of cues: (1) agent-related cues and (2) communication-related cues. We employ additional experimental studies to empirically test antecedents and consequences of authenticity perceptions in AI-based service encounters.
Infection of eight mesocarnivores in New Hampshire and Vermont with a distinct clade of canine distemper virus in 2016–2017

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Three fishers ( Martes pennanti), 2 gray foxes ( Urocyon cinereoargenteus), 1 mink ( Neovison vison), 1 skunk ( Mephitis mephitis), and 1 raccoon ( Procyon lotor), from Vermont and New Hampshire, had lesions on autopsy consistent with canine distemper virus (CDV) infections diagnosed in a 12-mo period in 2016–2017. Lesions of CDV infection were most commonly noted in the lungs (8 of 8 animals), urothelium (5 of 8), biliary tract (5 of 8), gastrointestinal tract (4 of 7), and brain (4 of 6). Splenic lesions were seen in 3 animals. The diagnosis was confirmed via immunohistochemistry and virus isolation. Viral genotyping indicated that all 8 animals were infected with a distinct clade of CDV that has only been reported in wildlife in New England, and this clade of viruses is distinct from vaccine strains. During the 12 mo when these cases occurred, no other CDV clade was identified in any other wildlife or domesticated animal submitted from the 2 states.
[The usefulness of three rapid commercially-available tests for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from animals].

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

3 commercially available tests STAPHYSLIDE (api bio Mérieux), STAPHYLASE (Oxoid) and STAPHAUREX-D (Welcome) for identification of Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated by 110 coagulase-positive S. aureus strains and 40 coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains, isolated from various materials of different animal species. STAPHYSLIDE showed a sensitivity of 53.6% and a specificity of 97.5%, STAPHAUREX-D 56.4% respectively 85% and STAPHYLASE 32.7% respectively 100%. The possible reasons for the weak results of these 3 tests well established in bacteriology of human medicine by use in veterinary bacteriology are discussed.
Encrypted Mobile Traffic Classification with a Few-shot Incremental Learning Approach

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Mobile traffic classification is an essential task for network security and management. Even though some progress has been made, the existing methods have limitations regarding plasticity and the requirement for large amounts of labeled data for training. In real-world wireless networks, new applications are constantly emerging. The lack of plasticity means the model must be retrained entirely whenever a larger dataset with new classes is obtained, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, obtaining large amounts of labeled data is often complicated and expensive. To overcome these limitations, we proposed a novel approach for classifying encrypted mobile traffic using the few-shot incremental learning with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. We pre-train an LSTM model with a base dataset, then incrementally add classes and update the model with few-shot datasets. We leverage the exemplar selection and knowledge distillation to keep the stability and plasticity of the model. We validate our method by collecting Downlink Control Information (DCI) of twenty different mobile applications from commercial Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The Intersection between Frailty, Diabetes, and Hypertension: The Critical Role of Community Geriatricians and Pharmacists in Deprescribing

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Frailty is a clinical syndrome prevalent among the elderly, characterised by a decline in physiological reserves and increased susceptibility to stressors, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. Diabetes and hypertension are common in frail older individuals, often leading to polypharmacy. In this narrative review, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between frailty, diabetes, and hypertension and to identify effective management strategies and future research directions. Methods: This narrative review was conducted using the Scopus, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases. Results: Frailty significantly impacts the management and prognosis of diabetes and hypertension, which, in turn, affects the progression of frailty. Managing these conditions often involves multiple drugs to achieve strict glycaemic control and blood pressure targets, leading to polypharmacy and associated morbidities, including orthostatic hypotension, falls, fractures, hypoglycaemia, and reduced medication adherence. Identifying frailty and implementing strategies like deprescribing can mitigate the adverse effects of polypharmacy and improve outcomes and quality of life. Despite the availability of effective tools for identifying frailty, many frail individuals continue to be exposed to complex treatment regimens for diabetes and hypertension, leading to increased hospital admissions, morbidity, and mortality. Conclusions: Managing diabetes and hypertension in the frail ageing population requires a multidisciplinary approach involving hospital and community geriatricians and pharmacists. This is important due to the lack of sufficient clinical trials dedicated to diabetes and hypertension in the context of frailty. Future large population studies are needed to assess the best approaches for managing diabetes and hypertension in frail individuals.
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitory Activity, Toxicity Test, and Phytochemical Analysis of Roselle Flower Extract

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Hypertension is still one of the biggest health problems in the world, including in Indonesia. The high prevalence rate has encouraged a lot of research to find antihypertensive drugs and other alternative healing methods, especially those using natural ingredients. One plant that has antihypertensive activity is the roselle flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.). This research aimed to observe the inhibitory activity of roselle flower extract on the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), determine the potential toxicity of roselle flower extract on shrimp larvae (Artemia salina Leach), and determine the phytochemical content in it. Roselle flower simplicia was extracted using the maceration method using a 70% ethanol solvent. The extract obtained was then tested for its inhibitory activity against ACE photometrically using a microplate reader. The observed inhibitory activity was calculated in terms of IC50. The toxicity of the extract was determined by the brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) to see how toxic the roselle flower extract was to shrimp larvae. The secondary metabolite content in the extract was determined qualitatively and quantitatively. The research results showed that the extraction yield obtained was 32,63%. The IC50 value of roselle flower extract against ACE was 295,36 ppm. The toxicity test on shrimp larvae showed that the LC50 value obtained was 334,02 ppm. The results of qualitative phytochemical tests show that roselle flower extract contained flavonoids, quinones, and steroids. The flavonoids and phenolic content in roselle flower extract were 0,42% and 0,91%, respectively. Based on these results, the phytochemical content of roselle flower extract inhibited ACE activity, and its compounds can be used as ingredients for developing hypertension drugs
