Applying Virtualization Technology to Earth Station Systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Melco's earth station systems are operating on virtualization environment. Virtualization is technology to emulate the hardware platform and provides great advantages such as server consolidation, software isolation, and so forth. Furthermore, virtualization technology offers flexibility of installation, especially when the earth station system is reconfigured into the next stage of the satellite operation. Since this kind of reconfiguration happens repeatedly, this flexibility saves time and costs. This paper illustrates the advantages of applying virtualization technology to earth station systems based on our performance results in satellite house keeping and in-orbit testing terms.

Viral diversity by deep sequencing: Approaches to analyzing effects of anti-HIV treatments

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

HIV is a deadly virus responsible for the AIDS pandemic, which has claimed countless lives since its origins in the early 1980s. A cure for HIV is still elusive - HIV can exist as a diverse and dynamic population that adapts quickly to immune and drug pressures, making elimination of infection difficult. Advances in antiretroviral (ARV) therapy have resulted in effective control of HIV for some but not all patients. This dissertation reports case studies of the response of viral populations to selection pressures exerted by emerging anti-HIV therapies. Deep sequencing technology was used to probe viral swarms at high-resolution, which helped make clinically relevant conclusions. Further, novel computational approaches were implemented to control procedural noise and carefully interpret signal. In one study, we examine HIV integrase inhibitors (INIs), which are among the latest ARV drugs. INIs act at a pre-integration level by aborting viral integration, which would normally lead to lasting infection. Raltegravir (RAL) is the only FDA-approved INI to date. Investigating drug resistance is crucial to informing future course of ARV therapy. We describe evolving HIV swarms in patients exhibiting a switch in RAL-resistance profiles. To understand implications of RAL administration, we analyzed the pre-therapy or treatment-naÃ¯ve context for the viral populations in-depth. Our findings suggest that predominant mutations arise only in presence of RAL - in its absence, they do not constitute fit polymorphisms. For all their effectiveness, drugs have not eradicated HIV. A recent clinical case, however, involving transfer of HIV-resistant cells to an infected patient, resulted for the first time in possible cure. This emphasized the importance of gene-modification and cell-based therapies to treat HIV. One such strategy showing promise uses an antisense to target HIV. The approach has been safe although clinical efficacy has not been fully determined. In support of one such study, we deep-sequenced viral swarms in the presence of antisense-modified cells. Encouragingly, we observed minority strains harboring evidence of antisense pressure in vivo, demonstrating the potential of alternative therapy. Finally, this dissertation underscores the significance of rare signatures in HIV populations, and outlines methods to investigate them.
A reaction-diffusion model for the production of autowaves

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

There are many examples of natural processes in which a substance must travel a trajectory, avoiding obstacles to reach an objective, using a mechanism for orientation and navigation. Such mechanism can be implemented using attraction by autowaves. The linear theory [1],[3],[6] lets to predict the conditions in which a reaction-diffusion system [1]–[12] has a raising oscillating behavior in the initial phase. In this paper a model is described for the production of autowaves [2],[4],[7]–[10], in agreement with the linear theory. Some results of simulation obtained with the model are shown.
Google's Android setup process security

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Despite considerable research having been carried out into the security of the open-source Android operating system, the vast majority of Android devices run software significantly deviating from the open source core. While many of these changes are introduced by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), almost every Android device available for sale also features a suite of Google-provided applications and services, which are not part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code. These applications are installed with system-level privileges, and are effectively an extension of the operating system itself. We monitored the process of setting up an Android device, and have identified a number of design weaknesses in the implementation of a number of Google services features which come pre-installed on virtually every Android device on sale today, which could permit skilled and capable attackers to carry out persistent attacks against Android users.
Dynamic Stall Control by Undulatory Deformation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Dynamic stall can delay the stall of wings and airfoils that are rapidly pitched beyond the static stall angle. A new method of active dynamic stall control by the undulatory foil was proposed in this paper. The study was based on solving unsteady Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes equations. Comparisons of the effectiveness of pitching foils and undulatory foils on dynamic stall control in both light stall and deep stall were conducted. The undulatory foils with various controllable parameters were further discussed. The results showed that the performance of undulatory foils is much better than that of the rigid pitching foil at high angles of attack either in the light stall or in the deep stall situation.

Treatment for athlete's foot should begin with over the counter drugs On p 79 Hart et al report the first systematic review of topical antifungal drugs for athlete's foot.Allylamines, available only on prescription, cure slightly more fungal infections of the skin of the feet than azoles and undecenoic acid, both of which are available over the counter.The comparatively high cost of allylamines, however, means that the few extra cures are expensive.So it is best to begin treatment with an azole or undecenoic acid, and to reserve allylamines for those infections that do not respond.
Unraveling massive star and binary physics in the nearby low-Z galaxy SMC as a proxy for high-redshift galaxies

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Low metallicity (Z) massive stars are among the main feedback agents in the early Universe and in present-day blue dwarf galaxies. The nearby star-forming SMC galaxy offers conditions which resemble those at redshift z ∼2 i.e. where modern galaxies formed and star formation peaked. Here we present the recent results about the nature of the eclipsing O-type binary in the SMC, AzV 476, to gain insights on the properties of massive stars and binaries at earlier cosmic epochs. We find that the primary has surprisingly low mass while being much brighter and hotter than the secondary. To place the measured stellar properties in the evolutionary context we modeled the system and confirm that AzV 476 is a post-interaction binary with the primary already being core helium (He) burning, while still having a hydrogen-rich (H-rich) envelope. These results constrain massive binary evolutionary scenarios and guide the searches of stripped stars in low-Z environments.
The Effect of Re-unification Education on Empathy and Multicultural Competence of Nursing-College Students

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Background: South Korean society is increasingly multicultural. As the percentage of North Korean defectors, married immigrants, and foreign workers increases, nurses will encounter more patients (and their family members) from diverse cultural backgrounds, which can pose a substantial burden. There is also a need for multicultural education among young people generally in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an educational program about re-unification on nursing student’s empathy and multicultural competence. Method: A six-session re-unification educational program was developed based on a cultural-competency model. It was implemented outside the regular nursing curriculum among first-year and second-year nursing students from September to October 2019. Data were collected from 65 students: 32 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group. Finding: Multicultural “capacity” increased in the experimental group relative to the control group (t=2.60, p<0.001). The results indicate that re-unification education can build and strengthen the multicultural competence of nursing-college students. Conclusion: This result can be an important part of preparation for re-unification, because these students will be the main providers of nursing care for the multicultural population at that time.

In the opening chapter we argued that to some extent we have been in a similar situation to that faced today, in that typically post-recession organizations find themselves following one of three pathways, and there is every reason to assume we shall see the same this time. The issues that drive HRM are those that characterize the industry dynamics of the surviving sectors. These reflect a "life cycle pattern" that falls into one of the following:1 In this chapter we pick on this last path, that of innovation. In doing so, we: To do this we have to draw on research on strategy, structure, technological leadership, organizational behavior and organizational psychology.
Numerical Simulation and Analytical Validation of the Drive and Transmission Mechanism for Truck Vehicles

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Nowadays, many various types of drive and transmission mechanisms characterized by various parameters and characteristics for different types of vehicles have been designed, developed and optimized with regard to the featured applications. Our research is focused on the creation of a complex simulation model of the drive and transmission mechanism of the vehicle Iveco LMV 4 × 4 M65. The correctness of the simulation model was verified using an analytical approach. The created numerical simulation model will serve as a basis for the further optimization of dynamic, operational and economical parameters of the vehicle. As the modification or replacement of the particular components of the drive and transmission mechanism is very complicated regarding the vehicles used in military operations, our research is focused on the enhancement of the control processes. More specifically, the main goal of the presented research activities is the modification of the gearshift logic and the adjustment of the gearshift map in order to improve the dynamic properties of the vehicle and, at the same time, reduce the fuel consumption. In spite of its complexity, the proposed simulation model can serve as a basis for the optimization of not only the gearshift control under specific input or output quantities and operational or environmental conditions but also for the simulation of the system behavior with modified or replaced components of the drive and transmission mechanism of this type of truck vehicle.
Clinicians with dyslexia: a systematic review of effects and strategies

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Summary Background For educators, an awareness of the impact of dyslexia on learners in the clinical workplace is vital: first, to be able to identify whether dyslexia may underlie certain traits and behaviours; and second, to be able to provide appropriate advice and support when dyslexia is identified. We reviewed the primary research evidence concerning the effects of dyslexia on clinicians (in or after training) in the workplace, and adaptive strategies (‘workarounds’) that are presently in use. Methods A systematic search of literature was undertaken, followed by a narrative review of studies selected as meeting the inclusion criteria. The review used a priori research questions and focused on studies based on primary research evidence. Results The review identified five key studies on qualified doctors or nurses with dyslexia. The impact of dyslexia on doctors can include: writing and calculating prescriptions, writing patient notes, and prioritising and making referrals. Strategies to minimise the effects of dyslexia include the use of adaptive technologies, the need for more time for mentors and supervisors, and an awareness of ‘enabling’ and ‘disabling’ environments. An awareness of the impact of dyslexia on learners in the clinical workplace is vital Discussion The difficulties associated with dyslexia are varied and may be unexpected. Medical educators must therefore be aware of dyslexia and its impact. When supporting a trainee with dyslexia, there is guidance available but educators may struggle to identify strategies and resources that are evidence based, so further research is required.
“Familiar Artifice”: Ways of Telling in the Short Story, Psychoanalysis, and Alice Munro’s “The Moons of Jupiter”

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Theoretical ideas about “narrative coherence” and “autobiographical competence” remain prevalent in contemporary therapeutic culture, and are frequently deployed in the service of the patient’s producing a narrative “I” that can tell its own story. A preference for novelistic accounts of the self is countered here by proposing the short story form as an alternative model for the telling of a self within psychoanalysis. Alice Munro’s “The Moons of Jupiter,” the roots of the short story form in fable, and a rereading of Freud’s Totem and Taboo are used to illuminate how the short story may be seen as an exemplary tale paralleling the origin of the self in its identification with the other.
Does Glycated Albumin Increase with Body Weight Reduction in Obese Non-Diabetic Subjects?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We reported that the body mass index (BMI) may exert a negative effect on glycated albumin (GA) in non-diabetic subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, we suggested a mechanism in which chronic inflammation in obesity may enhance albumin catabolism, leading to a decrease in GA levels for non-diabetic subjects. In the present study, we examined whether GA levels increased with body weight reduction in obese, non-diabetic subjects. Among the subjects who underwent complete medical checkups in 2010 and in 2015, 101 subjects with BMIs of 25 kg/m2 or higher, without diabetes mellitus in 2010 were included in this study. Correlations of changes in BMI for five years (ΔBMI) with changes in various clinical laboratory test values [ΔC-reactive protein (CRP), ΔGA, ΔHbA1c, Δfasting plasma glucose (FPG), ΔGA/HbA1c and ΔGA/FPG] were investigated. ΔBMI significantly and positively correlated with ΔCRP, while ΔBMI did not significantly correlate with ΔGA. ΔBMI significantly and positively correlated with ΔHbA1c and ΔFPG. Furthermore, ΔBMI showed significant negative correlations with ΔGA/HbA1c and ΔGA/FPG. GA levels did not increase with body weight reduction in obese non-diabetic subjects. Such a phenomenon might be considered the result when the positive control of GA levels through decreases in chronic inflammation due to body weight reduction was counterbalanced by the negative control of GA levels through improvement in glucose tolerance.

Perceptions of religious Israeli high school principals regarding school climate after the COVID-19 pandemic, and its connection to their management style

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose The global COVID-19 crisis posed many managerial and leadership challenges for principals. More specifically, after the crisis passed noticeable changes in school climate manifested and affected principal management style. The present study examined perceptions of principals regarding school climate and its impact on management style. The research literature clearly affirms the profound impact of school climate in terms of the relationship between students and school leaders. The study focused solely on religious high schools because, in Israel, the negative impact of the pandemic was most marked there. Design/methodology/approach The study was qualitative in nature, and included semi-structured interviews with 10 religious school principals in Israel. Study participants were asked about the existing school climate and their management style in light of the COVID-19 period. Findings This study indicated that positive school climate and interpersonal relationships between principals and students were affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Study participants reported that principals had to work arduously in the post-COVID-19 period to restore and improve positive school climate and consequently their management style also needed altering. Specifically, restoring open lines of communication and a sense of belonging as the main components of the school climate were the main foci of principal work. The principals' management style had to be more open and inclusive to restore a sense of belonging and security among students. Originality/value The study highlights the importance of an open and inclusive management style to restore positive school climate after crises.
Anti-inflammatory Effects of Oxymatrine Through Inhibition of Nuclear Factor-kappa B and Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Activation in Lipopolysaccharide-induced BV2 Microglia Cells.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Oxymatrine, a potent monosomic alkaloid extracted from Chinese herb Sophora japonica (Sophora flavescens Ait.). possesses anti-inflammatory activittyes. This study was designed to investigate the effects of oxymatrine on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent inflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated microglia. In this paper, BV2 microglia were pretreated with different concentrations of oxymatrine (1, 10 and 20 μg/mL) for 30 min as followed by stimulation with LPS (1 μg/mL) for different times (30 min, 1 h, 3 h, and 6 h). Concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in supernatant, mRNA levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), cytosolic inhibitor of kappa B-alpha (I-κBα) and phospho- I-κBα and nuclear p65 protein levels, and the phosphorylations of MAPK molecules such as extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38 MAPK and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) were determined. It was shown that oxymatrine inhibited the productions of NO, PGE2, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, attenuated the mRNA levels of iNOS and COX-2, suppressed the phosphorylation of I-κBα in cytosol, decreased the nuclear levels of p65, and also blocked ERK, p38 and JNK pathway in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells in a dose-dependent manner. According to the results; It is suggested that oxymatrine may attenuate inflammatory responses of microglia and could be potentially useful in modulation of inflammatory status in the brain disorders.
