Location based context awareness through tag-cloud visualizations

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

People often only see what that they already know or explicitly look for. Thus, while mobile users might be interested in the historic background of their surrounding, its current significance or its relation to specific events, they are likely to miss places of interest if they are not explicitly pointed out. Location based services (LBS) like mobile tourist guides offer a potential technological solution, but the production cost of multimedia content is prohibitive in many cases, limiting the coverage of such services to major tourist areas. To provide mobile users with information on the spatial context of a location or a route we present an approach that gathers context information from freely available sources like Wikipedia and creates visualizations of this data that provide users with the necessary cues to increase awareness of their spatial context. In our approach we first gather geo-referenced information that is located close to a point or route. In the second step this data is filtered to extract key-words that characterize the environment. These are then rendered as a tag-cloud in the third step. By skimming the tag-clouds a user gets a good impression of the characteristic features of an environment and in essence performs a further filtering step. The user can interactively adjust the level of detail of the visualization or follow up on individual key-words to adjust the presentation to his interests. By combining web 2.0 technologies and public data sources with filtering and visualization techniques we exploit the browsing capability of humans to provide a service that increases location awareness at arbitrary locations. The approach makes it easy to author an additional text and it can incorporate the ever increasing amount of available geo-referenced information.
Agonist and Antagonist Effects of Diadenosine Tetraphosphate, a Platelet Dense Granule Constituent, on Platelet P2Y1, P2Y12 and P2X1 Receptors

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Introduction: Diadenosine 5′,5‴-P1,P4- tetraphosphate (Ap4A) is stored in platelet dense granules, but its effects on platelet function are not well understood. In the current study, we examined the effects of Ap4A on signaling through the human platelet purinergic receptors P2Y1, P2Y12 and P2X1. Methods: Flow cytometry was used to measure the effects of Ap4A in the presence or absence of ADP on: P2Y12-mediated decrease in intraplatelet phosphorylated vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP), P2Y1- mediated increase in platelet cytosolic Ca2+ (measured with FLUO-4), and c) P2X1- mediated intraplatelet entry of extracellular Ca2+ (measured with FLUO-4) (Figure). ADP-stimulated platelet shape change (P2Y1-mediated) and aggregation (P2Y1- and P2Y12-mediated) were measured optically. Results: Ap4A inhibited 3 μM ADP-induced: platelet aggregation (IC50 9.8 ± 2.8 μM, n = 3), P2Y1-mediated shape change, P2Y1-mediated increase in platelet cytosolic Ca2+ (IC50 40.8 ± 12.3 μM, n = 3), and P2Y12-mediated decrease in VASP phosphorylation (IC50 &gt;250 μM, n = 3). In addition to inhibiting these ADP-induced effects on P2Y1 and P2Y12, Ap4A in the absence of added ADP decreased VASP phosphorylation, albeit with significantly reduced potency compared to ADP. This Ap4A-induced reduction of VASP phosphorylation was reversed by addition of AR-C69931, a selective P2Y12 antagonist. Ap4A, therefore, has partial P2Y12 agonist properties. Ap4A also had agonist effects on platelet P2X1 receptors, as evidenced by intraplatelet entry of extracellular Ca2+. All these effects of Ap4A were significant at pathophysiologic concentrations. Ap4A had no agonist effects on platelet P2Y1 receptors. Conclusions: Ap4A, a known constituent of platelet dense granules, is an antagonist of platelet P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors, where it inhibits the effects of ADP, an agonist of P2X1 receptors, and a partial agonist of P2Y12 receptors (Figure).

How CSR and overall service quality lead to affective commitment: mediating role of company reputation

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The paper aims to focus on the relationships among corporate social responsibility (CSR), overall service quality (OSQ), company reputation and affective commitment. It investigates whether service quality or CSR is the primer driver of affective commitment. Also, the mediating role of company reputation was examined. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modelling analysis provided support for the hypotheses from a sample of 522 retail banking consumers in Turkey. Findings Findings show that both CSR and OSQ influence affective commitment through the mediator role of company reputation. Originality/value This study tests and confirms that corporate reputation plays a mediator role along the paths from CSR and OSQ to affective commitment. Also, this study expands the traditional view of CSR’s and OSQ effect on customers and suggests that CSR and OSQ do affect not only company reputation but also affective commitment.
HEALTH SYSTEM PARTNERSHIPS IN INTERVENTION AND OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES: REFLECTIONS FROM AN EARLY-CAREER SCHOLAR

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract The early knowledge base and interventions in the field of elder mistreatment were built by clinician researchers, leading to a natural research-to-practice pipeline. But with more non-clinical researchers steadily entering the field, care must be taken to forge strong research-practitioner partnerships, to three ends: 1) developing clinically informed research and intervention approaches, 2) recruiting clinically relevant samples, and 3) implementing findings into clinical practice. This process can be particularly challenging for early-career non-clinical researchers, who may lack strong partnerships on which to build their research. This presentation extracts lessons for early career scholars by providing overviews of the development of and findings from two studies. The Comprehensive Older Adult Caregiving Supports (COACH) EM prevention program was delivered in partnership with a managed care health system, with referrals received from health system providers. The Better Together study of dementia care groups (i.e., persons living with dementia and their care partners) received referrals from clinicians in mixed managed care/fee-for-service settings, county health facilities, and community partners. Drawing from the principles of community-engaged research, the presentation highlights the relevance of various engagement approaches to elder mistreatment research, including: 1) partnering with senior researchers with existing networks; 2) taking the time to learn the health system’s and clinicians’ operational systems, pressures, and constraints; 3) honoring practitioner expertise in building research projects and developing research questions; 4) prioritizing meaningful reciprocal engagement, through offering topical or research presentations, funding, co-authorship, etc.; and 5) educating health system administrators about the nuances of conducting elder mistreatment research.
Dual-Wavelength LiDAR with a Single-Pixel Detector Based on the Time-Stretched Method

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In the fields of agriculture and forestry, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a critical indicator for assessing the physiological state of plants. Traditional imaging sensors can only collect two-dimensional vegetation distribution data, while dual-wavelength LiDAR technology offers the capability to capture vertical distribution information, which is essential for forest structure recovery and precision agriculture management. However, existing LiDAR systems face challenges in detecting echoes at two wavelengths, typically relying on multiple detectors or array sensors, leading to high costs, bulky systems, and slow detection rates. This study introduces a time-stretched method to separate two laser wavelengths in the time dimension, enabling a more cost-effective and efficient dual-spectral (600 nm and 800 nm) LiDAR system. Utilizing a supercontinuum laser and a single-pixel detector, the system incorporates specifically designed time-stretched transmission optics, enhancing the efficiency of NDVI data collection. We validated the ranging performance of the system, achieving an accuracy of approximately 3 mm by collecting data with a high sampling rate oscilloscope. Furthermore, by detecting branches, soil, and leaves in various health conditions, we evaluated the system’s performance. The dual-wavelength LiDAR can detect variations in NDVI due to differences in chlorophyll concentration and water content. Additionally, we used the radar equation to analyze the actual scene, clarifying the impact of the incidence angle on reflectance and NDVI. Scanning the Red Sumach, we obtained its NDVI distribution, demonstrating its physical characteristics. In conclusion, the proposed dual-wavelength LiDAR based on the time-stretched method has proven effective in agricultural and forestry applications, offering a new technological approach for future precision agriculture and forest management.
Quantification of Time Saved in Highway Construction by Initiating Electronic Ticketing (e-Ticketing)

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Digital material delivery such as electronic ticketing (e-Ticketing) is a proven method for increasing the productivity of field inspectors and engineers. A wide range of studies have been conducted that focused on implementation standards, pilot testing, and challenges in the deployment of e-Ticketing technology; however, few have quantified its benefits for the highway construction sector. Therefore, the objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the benefits of e-Ticketing technology for highway construction projects, based on available project data and generated electronic tickets. To accomplish this objective, a literature review was performed; a survey was developed, conducted, and analyzed; and on-site project data were evaluated to identify the amount of time that could be saved in highway construction projects. The results showed that e-Ticketing technology could significantly increase the productivity of field inspectors, as it would reduce the manual ticketing process by approximately 80%, enabling inspectors and administrative workers to focus on other demanding tasks. The findings of the study also revealed that it could save up to four inspector man-hours, which is crucial in mitigating the workforce shortage faced by the sector. The time savings and increase in productivity levels would allow departments of transportation (DOTs) to focus on other emerging technologies such as digital as-builts, intelligent compaction, and drone monitoring. The findings of the study will aid DOT decision-makers and engineers in quantitatively analyzing the benefits of the e-Ticketing platform, thereby decreasing project costs, improving inspector safety, mitigating the shortage of inspectors, and focusing on other emerging technologies.
EVALUATION OF PRODUCTIVITY OF CHLORIS GAYANA UNDER SOILS OF VARYING COMPOSITION IN SOUTH WESTERN UGANDA

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study therefore evaluated the productivity of Chloris gayana under varying soils in South Western Uganda.The productivity of Chloris gayana in selected districts in South Western Uganda (Kiruhura, Ibanda, Mbarara, Isingiro, Sheema) was already established by Lagu et al (2017).The present study profiled the soils in the above districts where the Chloris gayana was grown for total organic matter, available phosphorus, extractable bases (potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium), total nitrogen and textural classes (sand, clay, silt) following standard procedures described by Okalebo et al (2002).The results showed that the highest quantity of seeds and biomass per acre of Chloris gayana grass is attained if only all the essential primary soil nutrients (N, P, K) are above the critical levels.Hence, Kiruhura district having soils with the highest levels of essential soil nutrients, N (4.00±0.77%),P (33.73±12.98ppm)above the critical levels (N, 2%; P, 15ppm) recorded the highest quantity of Chloris gayana seeds harvested per acre (18.03±3.03kg per acre) and hay bales per acre (311.11kg/acre) compared to the other districts.Hence, efforts towards soil testing and soil amendments with essential nutrients (NPK) need to be intensified for increased productivity of Chloris gayana in South Western Uganda.
Leg-Lengthening

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

It would appear that leg-lengthening operations are seldom justified. While there is understandable hesitancy in operating on a healthy, normal longer leg in order to arrest epiphyseal growth or to cause immediate shortening by osteotomy, such procedures under present conditions of control are fraught with less danger and are less formidable than are leg-lengthening procedures. No method of epiphyseal stimulation is as yet well enough established to warrant serious consideration but one cannot avoid the idea that even if epiphyseal stimulation should be successfully evolved and increased longitudinal growth produced, the muscle power would probably suffer relative loss similar to that occurring ill leg-lengthening procedures. The same disadvantage of increasing lever length in the presence of already weakened muscles would apply. If a patient is old beyond the chance of epiphysiodesis causing satisfactory reduction in leg-length inequality and if the over-all stature of a patient is so short that any reduction of height by leg-shortening is undesirable, leg-lengthening might be considered. On occasion parents absolutely refuse to permit any surgery on the good leg. In such a case leglengthening might be considered. If considered, the following criteria should be met. 1. Adequate muscle power should be present about the hip and thigh to control the lengthened unit. 2. Shortening of at least one and one-half inches must be present to justify such a formidable procedure. 3. A maximum gain of not more than three inches should be attempted. 4. Good bone and joint structures should be present, lengthening being contraindicated in cases of old osteomyelitis and old joint disease. In the final analysis, prevention rather than correction of leg-length inequality is the most desirable goal, and it is along these lines that the greatest efforts should be expended. The truth of this statement is brought sharply to attention if for a moment one imagines that if the present-day armamentarium of vaccines and antibiotics had been available three decades ago, all thirty-nine cases of poliomyelitis and the eight cases of pyogenic hip disease might have been eliminated leaving only the cases of congenital deformities or epiphyseal injuries to contend with. Regardless of how the future may assist in improving these conditions, we cannot escape the fundamental concept that improved function, not just increased length, is the objective, and that these terms are not synonymous. This fact is clearly underlined by the end results in these patients studied some twenty to twenty- eight years after their original surgical procedures had been performed.
A numerical method for simulating hydrogen absorption in metal-H2 reactors for hydrogen storage

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Studying hydrogen absorption/ desorption in metal- H 2 reactors is important for the usage and commercialization of hydrogen energy. In this article, we present a numerical method for simulating hydrogen absorption in a cylindrical LaNi 5 - H 2 reactor. The method is obtained based on the modified heat and mass transfer model for the absorption of hydrogen, and its finite difference approximation in a staggered mesh. As a result, the numerical scheme is unconditionally stable and the solution is second-order accurate. Numerical results including gas and solid densities, gas velocity, gas and solid temperatures are obtained.
Coexpression of liver-specific and growth-induced genes in perinatal and regenerating liver: Attainment and maintenance of the differentiated state during rapid proliferation

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

The liver shows maximal cellular growth during fetal development and after partial hepatectomy. Exploring overlaps in gene expression patterns in these two types of hepatic growth may provide insight into common regulatory pathways. The expression of a large number of growth-induced and liver-specific genes induced in liver regeneration has been examined in the perinatal liver from several days prenatal to 4 weeks postnatal when the major growth phase of the liver ceases. As in liver regeneration, many growth-induced genes, such as PRL - 1 and β- actin , are expressed at a high level throughout the temporal course of liver development and correlate with the proliferative state. The level of fetal liver expression of these genes is similar to peak expression found in the regenerating liver, suggesting that common pathways of transcriptional regulation exist in the two types of proliferation. A subset of liver-restricted immediate-early genes including, IGFBP - 1 , CL - 6 , and glucose - 6 - phosphatase ( G6Pase ) are induced in regenerating liver and may be important in maintaining hepatic metabolism during regeneration. In developing liver, these genes are expressed primarily in the perinatal period but, unlike the regenerating liver, are not coinduced. For instance, at birth, G6Pase is induced, whereas CL - 6 is downregulated. In situ analyses confirm that a proliferation associated gene PRL-1 is expressed in multiple cell types throughout the developing liver, whereas the expression of liver-specific genes is confined to hepatocytes. Taken together, these findings imply that significant similarities and differences in transcriptional regulation and hormonal milieu exist in liver during regeneration and development. The increased expression of genes responsible for glucose homeostasis in proliferative states of the liver suggests that maintenance of differentiated function is a component of the hepatic growth response.

BA YLISASCARIS PROCYONIS AS A CAUSE OF CEREBROSPINAL NEMATODIASIS IN RATITES

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

An ostrich (Struthio camelus) and two emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) in a private zoological collection developed progressive neurologic disease and eventually became unable to stand or walk. At necropsy, all three birds had extensive multifocal encephalomalacia and inflam mation in the brain stem and cerebellum associated with larvae of Baylisascaris procyonis. The birds' pen was contaminated with feces from three to five infected raccoons (Procyon lotor) that had been housed in a barn loft directly overhead. Infective B. procyonis eggs were recovered from soil samples taken within the ostrich-emu pen and from raccoon feces and soil from under a new cage occupied by the three remaining raccoons.
Predictive control of multi-input switched-capacitor DC-DC converter with reduced switching Frequency

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a high step-up multi-input switched-capacitor DC-DC converter is studied for hybrid renewable energy system applications. A modified model predictive controller is proposed for this converter in order to appropriately track the reference input currents with minimum number of switching actions. In comparison to the classical PI controllers, which are widely used in this application, the proposed controller provides notable advantages such as elimination of additional modulation stages and improving the dynamic and steady state performance. Moreover, designing PI controllers and tuning their parameters is more difficult for a multi-input converter, compared to a single-input one, since the behaviors of the multi-input converter input currents are not independent. However, the conventional predictive control scheme will result in ripple components due to its variable switching frequency performance. Therefore, some modifications are made in the design procedure to overcome the aforementioned problem of the conventional predictive scheme and improve the converter efficiency. Finally, the performance of the designed controller is verified and compared with the conventional predictive control scheme through simulation in MATLB/Simulink environment.
Numerical Analysis of Turbulent Diffusion Combustion in Porous Media

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Turbulent methane-air combustion in porous burner is numerically investigated. Several computed field variables considered include temperature, stream function, and species mass fractions. The one-step reaction considered consists of 4 species. The analysis was done through a comparison with the gas-phase combustion. Porous combustion was found to level down the peak temperature while giving more uniform distribution throughout the domain. The porous combustion as in a burner is proved to provide wider flame stability limits and can hold an extended range of firing capabilities due to an energy recirculation.
The legal effects of Iran&apos;s accession to the TRIPS Agreement

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Today, science plays an essential role in the economy and sustainable development. Governments have to create a good environment where creators of intellectual works can work reliably, and benefit from their intellectual production outcomes, to produce and develop as much knowledge as possible. Their support should not be limited in such a way as to limit the space for scientific growth, since progress in science is always based on the use of the works of previous creators. This universality can be traced in the form of intellectual property rights and societies, especially in this era, are characterized by the broadness of science, knowledge and art. Certainly, each country will develop and implement regulations in order to stay away from the protection of science and art and, consequently, scientists and artists. What is considered in this area is the comprehensive support provided by the international community in the form of various agreements and in this area of ​​the so-called "tryps" agreement. The importance of this agreement is not limited to confrontations, imperfections and overlapping with national law. The existence of internal deficiencies and deficiencies in this field increasingly requires the addition of this agreement. This article seeks to analyze the legal effects of joining this agreement in the Iranian legal system. Revision, modification and completion of internal laws and regulations of the works that are annexed thereto.
Standardized Test Procedure for PV Module Cleaning Equipment

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

In recent years, increasing deployment of PV installations in desert regions occurred. In these zones, regular dry-cleaning of PV modules is conducted due to soiling which may damage the surface of the modules, especially the typical anti-reflective coatings (ARC) on the glass surface. For evaluating the impact of the cleaning process on the surface of the modules, a new test standard by PI Berlin has been developed, allowing a general assessment of the quality of cleaning devices. The test simulates cleaning over a period of 25 years; sand is applied before every cycle to simulate worst-case real condition. The effect of the cleaning and abrasion of the antireflection coatings is monitored via reflection measurements and check for microscopic scratches. A comparison of the test results performed with sand of different grain size, using different cleaning brushes, on different types of glasses is presented.
