Factors affecting accuracy in the quality control checking of fresh produce labels: A situational and laboratory‐based exploration

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Manufacturing industries often rely on quality control staff to ensure mistakes are detected before products are shipped to customers. Undetected errors can result in large financial and environmental costs to packaging companies and supermarkets but the contributors to such error are underexplored. The research reported in this paper investigated human error in the quality control checking of information displayed on the labels which accompany packaged fresh produce. Initial work sought to understand the demands of label‐checking in the packhouse environment, through interviews with key quality control staff, in situ observations, and the study of historical error data held by a fresh produce packaging company. This study highlighted the dynamic and cognitively challenging environment in which label‐checking occurred, while the historical error data indicated both the scale of the packhouse's work and the infrequency of error occurring. In a separate strand of laboratory‐based research, experienced and novice label‐checkers were presented with a simulated label‐checking task and a battery of computerized and pen‐and‐paper tests. These tasks were administered to determine whether cognitive abilities could predict label‐checking accuracy in a controlled laboratory environment. Stronger abilities in two cognitive processes (information processing speed and inhibition) predicted greater overall accuracy and higher detection of labeling errors. In identifying potential contributors to human error in the quality control checking of product labels both in situ and in the laboratory, the results are relevant to manufacturing, wherever information is printed on labels, especially when labeling processes depend upon human data entry and human quality control checking.
Increased Intra‐renal IGF‐1 is Associated with Renal Injury in Older Estrogen‐Depleted mRen2.Lewis Rats

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Numerous studies have demonstrated the cardio‐ and renoprotective effects of estrogen; however estrogen may exhibit deleterious actions as well. Indeed, recent clinical trials in older women with underlying cardiovascular disease do not support a protective role for estrogen. In this study we assessed the consequences of estrogen depletion in older mRen2.Lewis (mRen) hypertensive rats. Hemizygous mRen were ovariectomized (OVX) at 15 weeks or left intact (Intact), aged to 60 weeks and placed on a 4‐week high salt diet (HS; 8% NaCl). The systolic blood pressures were similar between groups; however, proteinuria was 14‐fold lower in the OVX rats. Plasma C‐reactive protein was also lower in the OVX‐HS group versus Intact‐HS [153±10 vs. 213±12 ng/ml; p<0.05, n=6]. Trichrome staining revealed a greater degree of collagen deposition in cortical tubular elements of the Intact‐HS. KIM‐1 mRNA, a marker of renal tubular injury, was markedly reduced in the OVX‐HS group [1.8‐fold vs. Intact HS; p<0.05, n=6]. Although plasma IGF‐1 levels were not different between groups, the cortical levels for both IGF‐1 mRNA [1.9‐fold vs. Intact HS; p<0.05, n=6] and peptide [1.53±0.02 vs. 0.8±0.1 ng/mg protein; p<0.05] were reduced in the OVX rats. We conclude that the deleterious effects of ovarian hormones on renal injury in the aged mRen2.Lewis rat maintained on a HS diet may be mediated by the renal IGF‐1 system.

Phylogenetically Diverse <i>Burkholderia</i> Associated with Midgut Crypts of Spurge Bugs, <i>Dicranocephalus</i> spp. (Heteroptera: Stenocephalidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Diverse phytophagous heteropteran insects, commonly known as stinkbugs, are associated with specific gut symbiotic bacteria, which have been found in midgut cryptic spaces. Recent studies have revealed that members of the stinkbug families Coreidae and Alydidae of the superfamily Coreoidea are consistently associated with a specific group of the betaproteobacterial genus Burkholderia, called the "stinkbug-associated beneficial and environmental (SBE)" group, and horizontally acquire specific symbionts from the environment every generation. However, the symbiotic system of another coreoid family, Stenocephalidae remains undetermined. We herein investigated four species of the stenocephalid genus Dicranocephalus. Examinations via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the typical arrangement and ultrastructures of midgut crypts and gut symbionts. Cloning and molecular phylogenetic analyses of bacterial genes showed that the midgut crypts of all species are colonized by Burkholderia strains, which were further assigned to different subgroups of the genus Burkholderia. In addition to the SBE-group Burkholderia, a number of stenocephalid symbionts belonged to a novel clade containing B. sordidicola and B. udeis, suggesting a specific symbiont clade for the Stenocephalidae. The symbiotic systems of stenocephalid bugs may provide a unique opportunity to study the ongoing evolution of symbiont associations in the stinkbug-Burkholderia interaction.

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Novel composite scaffolds have been fabricated using bacterial cellulose and polylactide using a combined ice microsphere templating and thermally induced phase separation route. The technique was developed to achieve both controlled interconnected pore structures and most importantly to result in pores lined with bacterial cellulose nano-fibrils.
New Insights, Future Directions in Primary Cutaneous Lymphoproliferative Disorders

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The spectrum of CD30+ lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin includes CD30+ cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, lymphomatoid papulosis, as well as borderline cases. These entities constitute the second most common group of cutaneous lymphomas according to the newly revised World Health Organization and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer consensus classification. Recent progress in immune and molecular biology, and identification of therapeutic targets have increased our understanding of these diseases and have led to novel treatment approaches. This review will provide an update on recent findings of immunologic, molecular, cytogenetic features and treatment strategies for patients with CD30+ lympho-proliferative diseases.
Effects of Endocardial Microwave Energy Ablation\n

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Until recently the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) consisted primarily of palliation, mostly in the form of pharmacological intervention. However because of recent advances in nonpharmacologic therapies, the current expectation of patients and referring physicians is that AF will be cured, rather than palliated. In recent years there has been a rapid expansion in the availability and variety of energy sources and devices for ablation. One of these energies, microwave, has been applied clinically only in the last few years, and may be a promising technique that is potentially capable of treating a wide range of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. The purpose of this study was to review microwave energy ablation in surgical treatment of AF with special interest in histology and ultrastructure of lesions produced by this endocardial ablation procedure.\n
Contact duration aware evaluation for content dissemination delay in mobile social network

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Groups of people with mobile phones using short-range connections such as WiFi and Bluetooth to propagate messages can be modeled as, with regard to regular absence of end-to-end connection, mobile social networks (MSNs), which can be exploited to offload a significant amount of mobile content from the overloaded infrastructure networks such as 3G. The study of content transmission delay for the applications of mobile content dissemination in MSNs is an important problem, because to enhance the network capacity, the traffic is offloaded at the cost of inducing longer delay. In contrast to existing works, which ignore the factors of contact duration limits and large content size, we present a contact duration aware framework to model the content dissemination process in MSNs, give an explicit expression for the average content dissemination delay, and reveals its relationship with various system parameters of content size, users' selfishness, number of involved subscribers, infecting ratio, and so on. We apply our proposed model to real-life traces to assess its reliability by comparing the theoretical results with measured statistics and present extensive upshots to evaluate the influence of various parameters on system performance. The results demonstrate the accuracy of our proposed framework and reveal that system parameters of content size, system infecting ratio and intragroup transmission are the most important factors to influence the content dissemination delay.
Judicial Review of Knesset Decisions by the High Court of Justice

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Some fifteen years ago, an address on the subject of judicial review of the actions of the Knesset would have been extremely short and quite familiar to English jurists. Our practice was basically the same as in England: the Parliament is sovereign, its laws inviolate, and its inner proceedings immune from review. Beginning with two decisions in the early 1980s, Flato-Sharon and Sarid , the Court has gradually recognized the justiciability of a limited range of Knesset decisions. While the precise level of review varies according to the type of decision at issue, the Court's review has been motivated in all cases by the need to preserve the rule of law and the integrity of our democratic regime.
Crustal Composition and Moho Variations of the Central and Eastern United States: Improving Resolution and Geologic Interpretation of EarthScope USArray Seismic Images Using Gravity

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract EarthScope's USArray Transportable Array has shortcomings for the purpose of interpreting geologic features of wavelengths less than the Transportable Array station spacing, but these can be overcome by using higher spatial resolution gravity data. In this study, we exploit USArray receiver functions to reduce nonuniqueness in the interpretation of gravity anomalies. We model gravity anomalies from previously derived density variations of sedimentary basins, crustal V p /V s variation, Moho variation, and upper mantle density variation derived from body wave imaging informed by surface wave tomography to estimate V p /V s . Although average densities and density contrasts for these seismic variations can be derived, the gravity anomalies modeled from them do not explain the entire observed gravity anomaly field in the United States. We use the unmodeled gravity anomalies (residuals) to reconstruct local variations in densities of the crust associated with geologic sources. The approach uses velocity‐density relationships and differs from density computations that assume isostatic compensation. These intracrustal densities identify geologic sources not sampled by and, in some cases, aliased by the USArray station spacing. We show an example of this improvement in the vicinity of the Bloomfield Pluton, north of the bootheel of Missouri, in the central United States.
From Microlevel Decisions to Landscape Changes: An Assessment of Agricultural Conservation Policies

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The growth in conservation programs has created a need for modeling frameworks capable of measuring microlevel behavioral responses and macrolevel landscape changes. This paper presents an empirical model that predicts farmers' production practices and the resulting levels of agricultural runoffs at more than 42,000 agricultural sites in the upper‐Mississippi river basin under alternative conservation policies. Results suggest that payments for conservation tillage and crop rotations increase the use of these conservation practices. However, the acreage response is inelastic and the programs are not likely to be cost effective on their own for addressing hypoxia problem in the Gulf of Mexico.
Rotating anisotropic rectangular hollow Gaussian array

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A new class of partially coherent sources that can produce stable rotating anisotropic rectangular hollow Gaussian array profiles in the far field is presented. The cross-spectral density function and the spectral density of this kind of source on the propagation are derived, and its propagation characteristics, which are quite different from twisted Gaussian Schell-model beams, are discussed. The results show that each hollow lobe in the array tends to rotate around the axis during propagation. In addition, the dimension of the array, the distance between the lobes of the array, and the number of rows and columns of the rectangular array can be flexibly manipulated by adjusting the source parameters. Our work may provide a method to generate rotating anisotropic array beams with hollow lobes, which could have certain reference values in optical manipulation.

EC-SVC: Secure CAN Bus In-Vehicle Communications with Fine-grained Access Control Based on Edge Computing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In-vehicle communications are not designed for message exchange between the vehicles and outside systems originally. Thus, the security design of message protection is insufficient. Moreover, the internal devices do not have enough resources to process the additional security operations. Nonetheless, due to the characteristic of the in-vehicle network in which messages are broadcast, secure message transmission to specific receivers must be ensured. With consideration of the facts aforementioned, this work addresses resource problems by offloading secure operations to high-performance devices, and uses attribute-based access control to ensure the confidentiality of messages from attackers and unauthorized users. In addition, we reconfigure existing access control based cryptography to address new vulnerabilities arising from the use of edge computing and attribute-based access control. Thus, this paper proposes an edge computing-based security protocol with fine-grained attribute-based encryption using a hash function, symmetric-based cryptography, and reconfigured cryptographic scheme. In addition, this work formally proves the reconfigured cryptographic scheme and security protocol, and evaluates the feasibility of the proposed security protocol in various aspects using the CANoe software.
Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical investigations of the giant cells in nodular fasciitis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The giant cells of histologically typical cases of nodular fasciitis were studied by electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Ultrastructurally, these cells were found to be similar to the adjacent spindle and large fibroblast-like cells in many ways. These giant cells exhibited numerous intracytoplasmic, well-formed longitudinally oriented bundles of myofilaments and hemi-desmosome-like structures with associated basement membrane-like material, abundant endoplasmic reticulum, and numerous dense bodies. The observed myofilaments did not show beading or Z-line formation. Immunohistochemical staining by means of the indirect peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique failed to localize the proven antigenic markers of histiocytes within the giant cells. The results support the concept that the giant cells in nodular fasciitis are of myofibroblastic origin. It is thus proposed that these giant cells are neither histiocytes nor rhabdomyoblasts as previously thought, but are rather modified fibroblasts ("myofibroblasts").
Cannabidiol as prophylactic treatment for intestinal ischaemia reperfusion injury in elderly rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Introduction The deprivation of blood supply to an intestinal segment, followed by its subsequent restoration, triggers the condition known as intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion syndrome (i-IRI). Throughout this process, proinflammatory and oxidative mediators are produced, released, and distributed via the bloodstream, ultimately causing damage both locally and systemically. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a molecule with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that regulate oxidative stress and inflammatory states. The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of CBD in a model of i-IRI in aged rats. Methods Thirty-six 12-month-old male WAG/RijHsd rats were used, divided into three groups: healthy control group (control), untreated i-IRI group (i-IRI), and CBD-treated i-IRI group (CBD). CBD (10 mg/kg) was administered via the femoral route 30 minutes before reperfusion. Blood samples and intestinal biopsies were taken from six animals in each group, while the other six animals underwent the D-xylose absorption test to evaluate intestinal absorptive function. Results Treatment with CBD significantly reduced the degree of histological injury (DHI) compared to the untreated group (1.78 ± 1.23 vs. 4.5 ± 0.56; p&lt;0.001). It also improved intestinal absorptive function (control group: 2.08 ± 0.16; untreated: 0.96 ± 0.06; CBD: 1.74 ± 0.06 µg/mL; p&lt;0.001). Conclusion The administration of CBD prior to the restoration of the ischaemic insult was effective in reducing damage to the intestinal mucosa and improving absorptive capacity.
Transformative Family Therapy with a Lesbian Couple: A Case Study

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT This case study describes a clinical application of a feminist-informed treatment model in family therapy. Specifically, it illustrates how therapeutic change with a lesbian couple is facilitated through the use of the Cultural Context Model by describing the couples' trajectory in challenging internalized oppressive gender norms, acknowledging their vulnerabilities, and creating strength through connection and shared power. Clinical files, interviews with clinicians, clients' evaluation of therapy, and videotaped sessions were analyzed by coding descriptive data over time and using content analysis. An illustration of the couple's change trajectory is discussed within the context of the model.
The impact of software metrics in NASA metric data program dataset modules for software defect prediction

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

<p>This paper discusses software metrics and their impact on software defect <br>prediction values in the NASA metric data program (MDP) dataset. The <br>NASA MDP dataset consists of four categories of software metrics: <br>halstead, McCabe, LoC, and misc. However, there is no study showing <br>which metrics participate in increasing the area under the curve (AUC) value <br>of the NASA MDP dataset. This study utilizes 12 modules from the NASA <br>MDP dataset, where these 12 modules are being tested into 14 relationships <br>of software metrics derived from the four existing metric categories. <br>Subsequently, classification is performed using the k-nearest neighbor <br>(kNN) method. The research concludes that software metrics have a <br>significant impact on the AUC value, with the LoC+McCabe+misc metrics <br>relationship influencing the improvement of the AUC value. However, the <br>metrics relationship that has the most impact on achieving less optimal AUC <br>values is McCabe. Halstead metric also plays a role in decreasing the <br>performance of other metrics.</p>
A COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DFS, BFS, AND A* SEARCH ALGORITHMS IN A SOLVING THE MAZE TRANSVERSAL PROBLEM

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A search algorithm addresses the challenge of determining the shortest path from the start to the goal while avoiding all possible obstacles. In the quest to design realistic Artificial Intelligence in gaming, we use these algorithms to determine the movement of the agents. The search algorithms for finding the shortest path were implemented using a Maze transversal problem. An agent/player in a maze transversal problem needs a search algorithm to get to its destination and in the least time possible. This algorithm assists an agent/player to travel from the start node to the goal node. The implementation of inappropriate algorithms can alter the length of the computer process for determining the shortest path and the agent/player will have to wait longer as the execution process will take more time. In the Maze transversal problem, pathfinding algorithms, Depth first Search (DFS), Breadth First Search (BFS) and A star (A*) were used for the comparison. The comparison procedure was carried out by running the different algorithms in three (3) mazes with the same dimensions but different obstacles and monitoring the execution time and path length. The findings of this study suggest that the A* search algorithm should be used in the Maze transversal problem as it finds the shortest path to the goal in the shortest possible time and length.

The analysis is followed by a number of conclusions and points for further research.
Relationship among seed size from different seed positions at several-seeded pod in soybean

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Seed size is an important yield component of soybean, which is influenced by both genetic traits and environmental factors. The seed-position effects on seed size were investigated by glyphosate-resistant soybean cultivar grown under both ambient and light-enriched conditions. Obvious effect of seed position on seed size was found. Seed size of the first-seeded position within several seeded pod was minimal (P<0.05). The more the seed number within a pod, the smaller the seed size of the first-seeded position. Light enrichment increased seed size from different-seeded position. The increment in seed size by light enrichment from first-seeded position was greater than that from other-seeded position, while the inherent seed size character in different position was not changed, and seed size from first-seeded position was still minimal. Light enrichment changed correlation degree between seed size from different seed positions. Seed size is modulated by assimilate distribution mechanism within pod. Seed size in oneseeded pod was more sensitive to light enrichment and density conditions. More seed number in a pod could decrease the increment of a single seed size.
