Cube test applied to the study of orthogonal projections: spatial development promoted by Qubism 3D Modeling

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Education benefits from the globalization of effective tools that facilitate student learning. Education in Mozambique is still traditional without any technological resources, such as computers, data show, applied software and smartphones. This traditional model drives some difficulties in 3D perception in technical drawing (TD) subjects. Technological tools with 3D visualization allow the enhancement of the learning process in an interactive and innovative way, giving the teacher the power to select the most appropriate technological resource for the desired subject. Qubism 3D modeling (Q3DM) and the cube test (CT) are the technological resources selected for this study, as they present usability features capable of promoting 3D spatial skills in the study of orthogonal projections (OP). The research was conducted in a secondary school in southern Mozambique, it is a quasi-experimental case study, supported by a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach. The instruments used were a pre-test and a post-test applied to two groups of students; one experimental and one control. Fifty students solved practical exercises on OP and their level of spatial visualization was measured with the CT. The study aims to investigate whether the use of Q3DM as a teaching-learning tool promotes 3D spatial visualization of objects in the context of technical drawing. From the analysis of the CT results it is inferred that the students who used Q3DM had better results on the cube test.
POLG gene related diseases

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

DNA polymerase γ is the only known DNA polymerase in human mitochondria, and is essential for mitochondrial DNA replication and repair.DNA polymerase γ is encoded by POLG gene.POLG-related disorders resulted from mutations of POLG gene comprise a continuum of overlapping phenotypes including Alpers Huttenlocher syndrome and other five subtypes, with high prevalence rate at patients with intractable seizure.Genetic testing for POLG mutations in patients with intractable epilepsies is very important for clinical diagnostics, genetic counseling, and treatment decisions because of the increased risk for VPA-induced liver failure in patients with POLG mutations.

VIDEO FORGERY DETECTION USING DEEP CONVOLUTION NEURAL NETWORK

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The multimedia contents on the internet have been altered with a growing rate and nowadays the
easy accessibility of powerful editing software has drawn our concern towards the authenticity of such media.
On the other hand, the large computations required for the expo-sure of the altered video makes a thoughtprovoking
chore for the researchers. Recently, deep learning has helped the practitioners to develop a model that
classify the objects straightly with the help of learning features. We present the technique for the recognition of
inter casing replica in the video using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) while outlining the computational
challenges in using a CPU and GPU in this paper. Furthermore, the paper also evaluates the exactness with a
quantity of concealed layers used in then neural network.
educed Complexity Symbol-by-Symbol emodulat ion

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Reduced complexity symbol-by-symbol demoldulation is examined. We examine the perfor- mance with standard complexity reduction techniques (e.g., M-algorithm and T-algorithm) and then derive a reduced state symbol-by-symbol demodulation al- gorithm which makes symbol-by-symbol demodula- tion performance and complexity competitive with se- quence estimation. I. INTRODUCTION Symbol-by-symbol demodulation (SYD) structures, (e.g.,(l)) while (optimum in terms minimizing symbol error probability, typically have a complexity greater than sequence demodula- tion (SED) techniques (e.g.,the Viterbi algorithm) for a fixed decodiing lag. Consequently when only hard decision outputs are required SED techniques are invariably used in practice. However, soft decision metrics are often needed (e.g., inter- leaved or concatenated coding schemes), and hence reduced complexity high performance SYD structures are of inter- est. In this paper we propose a new algorithm that produces symbol-by-symbol metrics at roughly the same complexity as SED without a significant loss in performance and examine methods to significantly reduce the complexity of SYD. 11. OVERVIEW OF OPTIMUM RECURSIVE ESTIMATION Consider a modulation with memory described by a time in- variant Markov chain transmitting m bits of information per symbol corrupted by an AWGN. Define K as the decoding lag, ulc to be the modulation state, llokll to be the cardinality of the modulation state, and w(k) to be all the observations until time Ik. We also use as the transmitted symbol space and In (IC) = {Ik-nrIk-n+lr a * ,Ik}

Effect of ACTH on prostaglandin induced vascular permeability.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Increased vascular permeability was induced by prostaglandin E2 (PGE1), arachidonic acid and compound 48/80 in male rats. Natural ACTH in a dose-dependent manner inhibited Evans blue exudation elicited by arachidonic acid or compound 48/80, however, it was ineffective against PGE1. ACTH4--10 (d-Phe7 and 1-Phe7) injected together with the prophlogistic agents depressed the arachidonic acid and compound 48/80 induced vascular reaction. Indomethacin pretreatment inhibited the effect of arachidonic acid on vascular permeability suggesting that arachidonic acid evoked its vascular activity by means of affecting the endogenous synthesis of prostaglandins and, on the other hand, the prostaglandin system played a role in the vascular permeability inducing effect of compound 48/80. ACTH4--10 peptide fragments free of steroidogenic action and natural ACTH inhibited locally the in vivo formation of PGS from arachidonic acid in the rat skin, resulting in a nonspecific decrease of local inflammation.

Accommodation of misfit in heterostructures with continuous and island films

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

An equation is derived for the equilibrium dislocation configuration in a slip plane with a stress distribution depending on a single coordinate. The equation allows to determine the critical film thickness at which dislocations are first formed in various heterostructures. Critical thicknesses are discussed for systems with a continuous film, with a semi-infinite film, bounded by a straight edge, and with a series of parallel strips on the substrate surface. The theoretical data are in agreement with the observed ones for continuous films. They are confirmed by experimental results for the heterostructure with a discontinuous film. The peculiarities of stable and unstable equilibrium dislocations are discussed for the mentioned heterostructures. [Russian Text Ignored]
Effect of Autologous Plasma Treatment on the Cornea Regeneration with Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca in Dogs

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Our study was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of autologous plasma enriched with platelets as part of the complex treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) of moderate severity in dogs.In our experiment, 20 dogs of various breeds with clinical signs of keratoconjunctivitis sicca participated.The animals were divided into the experimental group and the control group, 10 dogs in each group.The animals of the control group were treated with standard treatment: local antibiotic therapy, a topical immunosuppressant (cyclosporine), and also a lubricant.In addition to standard treatment, an autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) was additionally subconjunctivally injected weekly to animals of the experimental group.The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated by monitoring the changes in the hydration level of the anterior segment of the eye, the cytological picture of smears and gross anatomical appearance of the front of eye.The results in experimental group demonstrated a decrease in the number of desquamated epithelial cells, as well as a more intense decrease in segmented cells.The dynamics of the reduction of the clinical manifestations of KCS in animals that used PRP as part of complex therapy is more pronounced and was quite fast.Our observations show that autologous platelet-rich plasma is a powerful protector of corneal regeneration and therefore could be recommended to use in corneal erosion, keratitis ulcers and corneal injuries, as well as a keratoprotector after surgical interventions on the cornea and intraocular structures.
The development of a concurrent computer-aided process planning system for printed circuit board assembly

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this research, various vital issues for the development of a computer-aided process planning system for the automatic generation of process plans are addressed. The diversity of electronic products, scarcity of human expertise, and inconsistency among manually generated process plans increase the necessity of developing a CAPP system to select the various machines and processes for printed circuit board assembly. The electronic domain, being highly dynamic, makes it difficult to model during developmental work. The research establishes the application of the object-oriented paradigm to model this domain. The manual process planning activity is an experience-oriented task in nature. The application of expert system techniques to capture a human planner's experience as rules was achieved and has been organized, described, and represented in this research. The knowledge includes both Through-Hole and Surface Mount technology of PCBA. The integration between Computer-Aided Design, CAPP, and Computer-Aided Manufacture is accomplished in this research to realize a computer integrated manufacturing environment.
Magnetization and thickness dependent microwave attenuation behaviour of Ferrite-PANI composites and embedded composite-fabrics prepared by in situ polymerization

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Ultrahigh efficient and effective electromagnetic-interference (EMI) shielding composites have been fabricated with the combination of Polyaniline and zinc-cobalt ferrites (Co1-xZnxFe2O4, 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.4). Ferrite nanoparticles synthesized via the sol-gel method were functionalized to polyaniline via in situ polymerization. Average crystallite sizes of the nanoparticles were estimated using Debye–Scherrer and Rietveld method and found to be in between 20-30 nm. FTIR spectra revealed the formation of interactions between the PANI molecules and the ferrite nanoparticles. Substitution of the nonmagnetic Zn ions considerably changes the magnetic properties of cobalt ferrites as observed from the M-H loops recorded by VSM at room temperature. The EMI-shielding performance of the fabricated composites was examined at various thicknesses with the polymer filler ratio of 1:1 in X-band frequency region using a vector network analyser. The EMI shielding performance of composites was found to be increasing with the thickness of composites where a thickness of 3.0 mm achieved an SE of ∼ 100 dB for the Co0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4-PANI composite. Composite absorbers were deposited on cotton fabrics for protective clothing by in situ incorporation during the synthesis of composites which displayed relatively high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) (40-45 dB) at a thickness of only 0.30 mm for the fabrics. The PANI-Ferrite nanocomposites can be established as promising high capacity electromagnetic shielding materials because of the dipole polarization and the magnetic losses with low cost, lightweight, high durability and good flexibility.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

n this study, susceptibility levels of different hybrid pear individuals were determined against fire blight disease agent Erwinia amylovora by artificial inoculations. According to the pathogenity tests of 75 different E. amylovora strains, made on apple and pear shoots, highly virulent 7 strains were used in the testing of the hybrids. E. amylovora suspension was prepared with equal mixes of these 7 selected strains. This suspension was inoculated to hybrid plants by shoot injections that carried out twice, in August 2010 and May 2011. According to the evaluations made through necrotic shoot rate, totaly 7495 hybrid seedlings inoculated, and 11,91% of them were “the least susceptible” 3,99% were “less susceptible”, 6,62% were “moderately susceptible”, 18,07% were “highly susceptible”, 59,41% were “the most susceptible”. More “the least susceptible” pear hybrids were obtained from the combinations of resistant Magness cultivar than the other combinations.

Between Foreign and Family: Return Migration and Identity Construction among Korean Americans and Korean Chinese

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Between Foreign and Family explores the impact of inconsistent rules of ethnic inclusion and exclusion on the economic and social lives of Korean Americans and Korean Chinese living in Seoul. These actors are part of a growing number of return migrants, members of an ethnic diaspora who migrate "back" to the ancestral homeland from which their families emigrated. Drawing on ethnographic observations and interview data, Helene K. Lee highlights the "logics of transnationalism" that shape the relationships between these return migrants and their employers, co-workers, friends, family, and the South Korean state. While Koreanness marks these return migrants as outsiders who never truly feel at home in the United States and China, it simultaneously traps them into a liminal space in which they are neither fully family, nor fully foreign in South Korea. Return migration reveals how ethnic identity construction is not an indisputable and universal fact defined by blood and ancestry, but a contested and uneven process informed by the interplay of ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, gender, and history
In vivo imaging of calcium accumulation in fly interneurons as elicited by visual motion stimulation.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The computation of motion plays a central role in visual orientation. The fly has been successfully used as a model system for analyzing the mechanisms underlying motion detection. Thereby, much attention has been paid to a neuronal circuit of individually identifiable neurons in the third visual ganglion that extracts different types of retinal motion patterns and converts these patterns into specific components of visual orientation behavior. The extended dendritic trees of these large cells are the sites of convergence of numerous spatially distributed local motion-sensitive elements. As is revealed by in vivo microfluorometric imaging, these cells accumulate calcium during activation by visual motion stimulation. The spatiotemporal pattern of calcium distribution shows the following characteristics: (i) calcium accumulation is first spatially restricted to those dendritic branches that are depolarized by the retinotopic input, (ii) during ongoing motion stimulation calcium may also accumulate throughout the cell and, in particular, in regions that do not receive direct synaptic input. These experiments successfully monitor the intracellular distribution of activity-dependent ions in visual interneurons of living animals stimulated by their natural synaptic input.
Analysis to Customer Churn Provoker's Roles Using Call Network of a Telecom Company

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

본 연구에서는 국내 한 이동통신회사의 해지 고객 중심의 통화 네트워크 데이터를 가지고 고객들 간의 관계 구조를 나타내는 소셜 네트워크 분석의 일종인 자아 네트워크(Ego-Network) 분석을 통해 핵심 연결자 역할 및 중개 역할을 하는 이탈고객이 다른 고객의 이탈에 어떻게 영향을 미쳤는지를 분석하고 이를 기반으로 고객 이탈 예측 및 이탈방지를 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 해지고객들 간 양방향 통화를 갖는 네트워크를 살펴본 결과, 해지고객들 간의 무더기 이탈 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 이탈 그룹에는 그룹 이탈에 영향을 주는 이탈유발자가 존재하고 있었으며, 이러한 이탈유발자의 특징은 그룹 내에서 많은 구성원들과 연결되어 있는 핵심 연결자 역할을 하면서, 정보전달의 매개자 역할을 동시에 해내는 고객이었다. 즉 긴밀한 네트워크일수록, 이탈유발자 비중이 높고, 이들 이탈유발자와의 관계에 의한 이탈현상은 이탈유발자의 영향이 큰 것으로 볼 수 있을 것이다. In this study, we investigate how churn customers (who play a central connector or broker role) affect other customers' churn in their call networks with ego-network analysis using call data of a mobile telecom company in Korea. As a result of investigating Reciprocal Network, we found a relationship of attrition among churn customers. Churn provokers who influence other customers' attrition exist in customer churn networks. The characteristics of churn provokers is that they play a central connector and broker role in their groups. The proportion of churn provokers increases and the churn provoker's influence increases because the network is a reciprocal one.
Moving forward with the primate microbiome: Introduction to a special issue of the American Journal of Primatology

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Primate microbiome research is a quickly growing field with exciting potential for informing our understanding of primate biology, ecology, and evolution as well as host‐microbe interactions more broadly. This introductory essay to a special section of the American Journal of Primatology provides a cross‐sectional snapshot of current activity in these areas by briefly summarizing the diversity of contributed papers and their relationships to key themes in host‐associated microbiome research. It then uses this survey as a foundation for consolidating a set of key research questions to broadly guide future research. It also argues for the importance of methods standardization to facilitate comparative analyses and the identification of generalizable patterns and relationships. While primatology will benefit greatly from the integration of microbial datasets, it is uniquely positioned to address important questions regarding microbiology and macro‐ecology and evolution more generally. We are eager to see where the primate microbiome leads us.
Diagnostic electron microscopy of faeces

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

A method is described for examining viruses in faeces by direct electron microscopy using negative staining. The particles found in a group of patients with gastroenteritis and a group with other conditions are compared. Small particles in the range of sizes covering parvoviruses and enteroviruses were found about as frequently in each group. Many of these were probably bacteriophages. Many bacteriophages with tails of various sizes and lengths were found. Adenoviruses were found in five of eight patients from whom they were isolated. Reovirus- (or orbivirus-) like particles were found associated with some gastroenteritis patients.
Hofmeister Effect-Assisted One-Pot and Fast Fabrication of Isotropic and Ultra-Tough Hydrogel with Controllable Three-Dimensional Shapes

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The soaking method based on the Hofmeister effect has been demonstrated to be an effective approach for improving the strength and toughness of hydrogels. However, the traditional soaking method usually leads to a heterogeneous core-shell structure in the hydrogel and makes it difficult to control the hydrogel's dimensions during processing. Thus, it remains challenging to rapidly fabricate large, size-controlled cylindrical hydrogels with practical applicability by using the Hofmeister effect. In this work, we propose a simple and universal preaddition/soaking strategy to prepare isotropic, ultratough cylindrical hydrogels with tensile strengths exceeding 10 MPa. Specifically, a low concentration of Na3Cit was preincorporated into the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel to induce nanofibril formation. The nanofibril-containing PVA hydrogel was then soaked in a Na3Cit solution to obtain an isotropic, ultratough PVA hydrogel with precise dimensional control. Compared with conventional direct soaking methods, this approach significantly enhances the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogels in a shorter time. The resulting PVA hydrogel exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 10.59 ± 0.6 MPa, a Young's modulus of 7.27 ± 0.53 MPa, and a toughness of 34.74 ± 1.98 MJ·m-3. Moreover, its conductivity increases 3-fold to 2.6 mS·cm-1. This method is also applicable to enhancing the strength of gelatin hydrogels. As far as we know, this is the simplest reported method for preparing isotropic, ultratough hydrogels with controlled dimensions and strengths exceeding 10 MPa.
Cinematic Desire and Fantasy in Adolfo Bioy Casares’ La Invención De Morel (1940)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper aims to analyze the relationship between the concepts of desire and fantasy, as understood by Lacanian theory, and their manifestation in cinema. In order to do so, it explores and discusses cinema’s influence over literature, focusing on how this relationship is reflected in the novel La Invención de Morel ([1940] 1953), written by Argentinian author Adolfo Bioy Casares. The analysis employs scholarship from film critics McGowan (2007), Metz (1982), Zizek (1989, 2006), Mulvey (1975, 1989), and others through the lens of Psychoanalytic Film Theory.
