Peyton Manning

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This revealing biography explores Indianapolis Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning as an athlete and as a man. From the moment Peyton Manning arrived in the National Football League at the start of the 1998 season, he has been a numbers machine, completing passes at a dazzling rate and throwing touchdowns at a pinball-machine clip. Fans, teammates, and NFL foes alike have been in awe of what Manning's right arm has wrought. In Peyton Manning: A Biography, sportswriter Lew Freedman chronicles Manning's life, from his childhood as the son of New Orleans Saints' quarterback Archie Manning through the many laurels won during his high school and college careers to his record-setting play with the Colts. The book also covers Manning's off-the-field activities as a product spokesperson, as well as his PeyBack Foundation, designed to help underprivileged children. Finally, it looks at the Manning football dynasty, including brother Eli Manning's success as the Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the New York Giants.
Stimulating the Quasi-statistical Organ

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

We test an uninvestigated proposition from spiral of silence theory that fear of social isolation (FSI) prompts people to seek out information about the climate of public opinion. Taking a trait-based individual difference perspective, the authors develop and validate a measure of FSI that is less likely to produce the interpretational problems that plague existing measures. Then, using data from eight countries spread across four continents, the authors examine whether those who fear social isolation to a greater extent are more likely to attend to a particular source of information in the social environment about public opinion—mass media reports of public opinion polls. Study results support spiral of silence theory’s prediction—FSI does appear to motivate people to ascertain what the public thinks. However, there may be some cultural boundaries to this process.
[Perioperative management of twins with prenatally diagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) occurs in one of every 2000-3000 births, and most of them are sporadic, and therefore recognized as a circumstantial event. But its occurrence in 85 children among the 40 families is also reported, and some reports suggest that an autosomal recessive gene may be responsible for this disease. We experienced identical twins (babies A and B) both with prenatally diagnosed CDH. They were delivered by emergent cesarean section at 33 weeks of gestation with birth weight of 1857 g and 1561 g, respectively. They were intubated immediately after birth, and ventilated with high frequency oscillation. Baby A presented persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn, and received nitric oxide inhalation. At the age of 2 days, both of them were stabilized and underwent repair of CDH. After the repair, baby A developed perforation of ileum, airway bleeding and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and needed 28 days before extubation. Baby B also developed ROP, but had no other problem, and the trachea was extubated at the age of 12 days. They are the seventh pair reported in the world literature.
Repeal of article 6 of the USSR Constitution: the evolution of the position of the communist party of Belarus (1988–1990)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Article 6 of the 1977 Constitution of the USSR assigned the Communist Party a special status as a "guiding force in society." The loss of this status deprived the CPSU of the opportunity to be the exclusive and most numerous force in the USSR. This issue was particularly acute in the Belarusian SSR, in which the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident and political instability brought the CPB and the Union center closer together. The article aims to identify the dynamics of changes in the relationship between the Union center and the BSSR from 1988 to March 1990, from the XIX party Conference to the III Congress of People's Deputies. To do this, it is necessary to consider the dynamics of political processes in the BSSR and the USSR, analyze the transcripts of Congresses and Plenums at which the issue of repealing Article 6 was discussed and separately analyze the change in the position of the Belarusian side on this issue. The article shows the change in the attitude of representatives of the elite of the Belarusian state towards the Union center, Mikhail Gorbachev and perestroika. Initially, the leaders of the BSSR enthusiastically accepted the results of the XIX party conference, but political instability and the activation of nationalist forces forced them to rally even more around the union center. When the Union center initiated the repeal of Article 6, transferring significant powers to the President, the CPB also supported Mikhail Gorbachev for the sake of maintaining stability in the Soviet Union, although it began to criticize the head of the USSR and his political course.
Automatic Interaction and Activity Recognition from Videos of Human Manual Demonstrations with Application to Anomaly Detection

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a new method to describe spatio-temporal relations between objects and hands, to recognize both interactions and activities within video demonstrations of manual tasks. The approach exploits Scene Graphs to extract key interaction features from image sequences while simultaneously encoding motion patterns and context. Additionally, the method introduces event-based automatic video segmentation and clustering, which allow for the grouping of similar events and detect if a monitored activity is executed correctly. The effectiveness of the approach was demonstrated in two multi-subject experiments, showing the ability to recognize and cluster hand-object and object-object interactions without prior knowledge of the activity, as well as matching the same activity performed by different subjects.
Computational Morphogenesis of Lightweight Continous Concrete Shell Structures by Utilizing Metaheuristic Algorithms

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

While the hanging model and physical prototyping are reliable methods for form-finding continuous lightweight shell structures, they cannot explore various design possibilities and consider multiple criteria in the design. This research aims to employ metaheuristic algorithms as a search tool for simultaneous form-finding (form exploration) and optimization, known as computational morphogenesis. This workflow consists of a parametric model and metaheuristic algorithms, which were implemented through costume Python codes. To evaluate the workflow, a double-curvature footbridge was defined, and the forms that GA found were in line with the anticipation. The GA found a better solution (0.04022) than the SA (0.064) by considering elastic energy change. In case study II, the optimal form of a continuous lightweight shell was explored by utilizing GA, PSO, SA, and the hybrid algorithm of GAPSO. The GA improved the fitness solution by 35% in the second run, while PSO showed similar results, and the hybrid GAPSO algorithm did not yield better results. The results show that the optimum result based on different algorithms was not significantly different. Nevertheless, hyperparameters considerably affected finding the global minimum. Moreover, NSGA-II was utilized, which let the designer trade-off between alternatives while considering other criteria.
Efficacy of Web-based Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Program in Improving Pre-dialysis Blood Pressure Control among Hemodialysis Patients: Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND

Hypertension is highly prevalent among patients undergoing hemodialysis, with a significant proportion experiencing poorly controlled blood pressure (BP). Digital BP management in this population has been underutilized.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the efficacy of a Web-based home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) program in improving pre-dialysis BP control and enhancing knowledge, perception and adherence to HBPM among hypertensive patients undergoing hemodialysis.

METHODS

A multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted at two hemodialysis units. Patients were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the Web-based HBPM program as the intervention group or to usual care as the control group over a 6-month period. The primary outcomes were the pre-dialysis BP control rate, defined as less than 140/90 mmHg, and the pre-dialysis systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), assessed from baseline to the 6-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes included patient knowledge, perception, and adherence to HBPM, evaluated using the home blood pressure monitoring knowledge questionnaire (HBPMKQ), home blood pressure monitoring perception scale (HBPMPS), and home blood pressure monitoring adherence scale (HBPMAS), respectively. The generalized estimating equations analysis was utilized to analyze the primary outcomes in the intention-to-treat analysis.

RESULTS

Of the 165 patients enrolled in the program (n=84, Web-based HBPM group; n=81, control group), 145 completed the follow-up assessment. During follow-up period, 11 instances of hypotension occurred in 9 patients in the Web-based HBPM group, compared to 15 events in 14 patients in the control group. The pre-dialysis BP control rate increased from 29.8% to 47.6% in the Web-based HBPM group after the 6-month intervention, while in the control group, it decreased from 37% to 24.7% (x2 =16.82, P <.001; OR = 5.11, 95%CI 2.14–12.23, P <.001). The Web-based HBPM group demonstrated a significant reduction after the 6-month intervention in the pre-dialysis SBP (t =2.46, P =.02; β = −6.09, 95%CI −10.94 – −1.24, P =.01), and the pre-dialysis DBP (t =3.20, P =.002; β = −4.93, 95%CI −7.93 – −1.93, P =.001). Scores on HBPMKQ (t = -9.18, P <.001), HBPMPS (t = −10.65, P <.001), and HBPMAS (t =−8.04, P <.001) were significantly higher after 6-months of intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

Implementation of a Web-based HBPM program can enhance pre-dialysis BP control, and the knowledge, perception, and adherence to HBPM among patients undergoing hemodialysis. This Web-based HBPM program should be promoted in appropriate clinical settings.

Pre-release evaluation of Neochetina weevils potential for the management of Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solm. In the Rift valley of Ethiopia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The present study aimed at evaluating the host-specificity, potential efficacy and optimum densities of the two weevils (Neochetina bruchi and N. eichhorniae) as water hyacinth control agents in the Rift Valley of Ethiopia. Density-plant damage relationship was monitored for two years (2012 to 2014) in a factorial experiment by involving the two Neocthenia weevils and four densities of herbivory. Feeding multiple-choice and oviposition tests were used to assess the two weevils host specificity. The study showed highly significant (P< 0.01) impacts of the two weevils as well as, their interactions on number of ramets, number of leaves, damaged leaf area, petiole length, number of defoliated petioles and biomass of water hyacinth. Damaged leaf area (97%) and total number of defoliated petioles (2.8) were highest in plants that received three pairs of N. bruchi and two pairs of N. eichhorniae. The weevil density and water hyacinth biomass showed convex relationship that could be well-described by a negative log function (R2=0.98). The study confirmed that the weevils are sufficiently host-specific and therefore can be safely released in the Rift Valley of Ethiopia to control water hyacinth.
Leadership style and organizational learning: the mediate effect of school vision

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose Fundamentally, the success of schools depends on first‐rate school leadership, on leaders reinforcing the teachers' willingness to adhere to the school's vision, creating a sense of purpose, binding them together and encouraging them to engage in continuous learning. Leadership, vision and organizational learning are considered to be the key to school improvement. However, systematic empirical evidence of a direct relationship between leadership, vision and organizational learning is limited. The present study aims to explore the influence of principals' leadership style on school organizational learning, using school vision as a mediator. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected from 1,474 teachers at 104 elementary schools in northern Israel, and aggregated to the school level. Findings Mediating regression analysis demonstrated that the school vision was a significant predictor of school organizational learning and functioned as a partial mediator only between principals' transformational leadership style and school organizational learning. Moreover, the principals' transformational leadership style predicted school organizational vision and school organizational learning processes. In other words, school vision, as shaped by the principal and the staff, is a powerful motivator of the process of organizational learning in school. Research implications/limitations The research results have implications for the guidance of leadership practice, training, appraisal and professional development. Originality/value The paper explores the centrality of school vision and its effects on the achievement of the school's aims by means of organizational learning processes.
Preliminary Study of Coupling Electrical Energy to Detonation Reaction Zone of Primasheet-1000 Explosive

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract : It is anticipated that the introduction of high currents will increase the energy content of the conduction gases in the vicinity of the detonation front and lead to an increase in detonation velocity through ohmic heating. The approach is to transfer the stored electrical energy from a 5.5-kV, 0.010-F, 200-kJ capacitor bank into the conductive zone behind the detonation front of Primasheet-1000 explosive reaction. Upon initiation of the explosive, an explosive switch allows the energy stored in the pulsed power assembly to be transferred through the copper plates (separated by a 0.1-, 0.2-, or 0.3-cm-thick layer of explosive) and into the conducting reaction zone of the detonation front. There was an increase of about 4% in the detonation velocity observed in a 0.1-cm-thick layer and about 2.6 % detonation velocity enhancement observed in a 0.2-cm-thick explosive layer. No detonation velocity enhancement was observed in the 0.3-cm-thick layer of explosive.
Towards wide-field high-resolution retinal imaging

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Adaptive optical correction is an efficient technique to obtain high-resolution images of the retinal surface. A main limitation of adaptive optical correction, however, is the small size of the corrected image. For medical purposes it is important to increase the size of the corrected images. This can be done through composite imaging, but a major difficulty is then the introduction of reconstruction artifacts. Another approach is multi-conjugate adaptive optics. MCAO comes in two flavors. The star- oriented approach has been demonstrated on the eye and allows to increase the diameter of the corrected image by a factor of approximately 2-3. Difficulties in the tomographic reconstruction precludes the correction of larger fields. Here we have investigate the possibility to apply a layer-oriented MCAO approach to retinal imaging.
Torah, Tradition, and Innovation

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter begins with a discussion of Josephus’s descriptions of disputes between Pharisees and Sadducees regarding the authority of scripture and tradition. Again, Josephus’s testimony is found to be reasonably commensurate with external evidence. The discussion then expands to a consideration of Josephus’s treatment of the Essene view. Granting that Josephus is less clear about the Essenes’ view of legal authority, there is sufficient reason to question one current trend in scholarship, which elides the Sadducean view with the Qumranic/Essene one. The second half of the chapter reviews Josephus’s discussions of changes to legal practice, including the creation of new festivals such as Purim and Hunukkah, and the Maccabean decision to fight on the Sabbath. It is argued that Josephus’s own approach to law is roughly in line with the Pharisaic he has described: Josephus accepts the authority of scripture and tradition, but opposes changes imposed by illegitimate leaders or that were put in place without the people’s consent. It is observed that Josephus does not accept the authority of post-Mosaic prophetic legislation—which curiously puts Josephus at odds with the Dead Sea sect.
Q-LSRTM using viscoacoustic VTI wave equation based on the nearly constant Q model

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

In the imaging process, ignoring the effects of attenuation and anisotropy will reduce the quality and resolution of the imaging profile. In this paper, we present a Q-compensated least-squares reverse time migration method in viscoacoustic VTI media (Q-VTI-LSRTM) using the pure qP-wave viscoacoustic VTI wave equation. Based on the adjoint theory, we derive the demigration operator, adjoint operator, and gradient-sensitive kernel. The proposed method can simultaneously handle the anisotropy and viscosity of subsurface media, and it's free of the quasi-SV- wave artifacts. Moreover, the method can compensate for attenuation effects during the iterative process to avoid the instability caused by high-frequency noise. The numerical results show that the proposed method can compensate the amplitude loss and phase distortion caused by attenuation, and correct the inaccurate position of the reflection interfaces caused by anisotropy, which improves the accuracy and resolution of the imaging profile. Note: This paper was accepted into the Technical Program but was not presented at IMAGE 2022 in Houston, Texas.
Kültür mirasının yorumlanması alan çalışması : Boston Milli Tarih Parkı, A.B.D.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study focuses on how cultural heritage interpretation can effectively be planned and operated as an integral part of preservation process. The ICOMOS Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites, which was initiated by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), offers professional principles for effectively interpreting cultural heritage sites. This study apply these principles as analysis and evaluation criteria of the case study. The Charter principles include ‘access and understanding’, soundness of ‘information sources’, attention to ‘setting and context’, preservation of ‘authenticity’, planning for ‘sustainability’, concern for ‘inclusiveness’, and importance of ‘research, evaluation and training’. Considering the necessity of correlating these international principles with interpretation practices, this study analyzes and assesses interpretation at the Boston National Historical Park, a unit of the National Park Service in the US; and at the same time tests the practicality of the Charter principles. This park is composed of eight nationally significant historical sites located separately in an urban context. This study examines certain aspects of the park that affect the effectiveness of its interpretation activities i.e., management policies, organizational model, partnerships with stakeholders, fiscal resources, management planning, and interpretive planning. Besides on-site interpretation at three sites of the park - the Charlestown Navy Yard, Old South Meeting House and Paul Revere House- are analyzed in detail within to the ICOMOS Charter framework. Finally, recommendations have been developed for the ongoing work of the ICOMOS, for the Boston National Historical Park as well as for other cultural heritage sites.

Abstract IA04: Stroma-driven resistance to PI3K/mTOR inhibition

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract PI3/mTOR pathway, a major regulator of cellular growth and metabolism, is mutated in ~70% of breast cancers and conveys resistance towards estrogen receptor- and HER2-targeted therapies. Unfortunately, targeting the PI3K pathway in the clinic has been hampered by emergence of drug resistance, often through rewiring of their signaling pathways rather than through mutations, a phenomenon called adaptive resistance that is often observed with targeted therapies. Our previous data have shown that adaptive resistance requires input from the tumor microenvironment. Cancer cells require the presence of extracellular matrix proteins to elicit drug resistance; without matrix contact the tumor cells died. Our data also show that fibroblasts secrete matrix proteins that increase cellular survival of epithelial cells under starvation and PI3K and mTOR inhibition. To investigate the identity and role of the secreted proteins that drive resistance, we performed mass-spectrometry and cytokine analysis of fibroblast secretomes treated with PI3K inhibitors. These data have identified several candidate proteins as potential drivers of stroma-mediated drug resistance, and we will discuss how targeting these proteins can increase the efficacy of PI3K- and mTOR-targeted therapies.

Catic A, et al. Bioinformatics Advance Access published July 15, 2004 Preferred in vivo ubiquitination sites

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

1 Catic A, et al. Motivation: The conjugation of ubiquitin to target molecules involves several enzymatic steps. Little is known about the specificity of ubiquitination. How E3 ligases select their substrate and which lysines are targeted for ubiquitin conjugation is largely an enigma. The object of this study is to identify preferred ubiquitination sites. Genetic approaches to study this question have proven difficult, because of the redundancy of ligases and the lack of strictly required motifs. However, a better understanding of acceptor site selection could help predict ubiquitination sites and clarify yet unsolved structure-function relationships of the transfer reaction. Results: In an effort to define preferences for ubiquitination, we systematically analyzed structure and sequence of 135 known ubiquitination sites in 95 proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results show clear structural preferences for ubiquitin ligation to target proteins, and compartment-specific amino acid patterns in close proximity to the modified side chain.
