ATTRACTING AND RETAINING INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS: IRELAND. ESRI RESEARCH SERIES NUMBER 88 MAY 2019

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

International student mobility has grown significantly worldwide over the past two decades, increasing from two million to five million between 1999 and 2016 (OECD, 2018). The EU is one of the main destinations for international students, with 1.6 million international students enrolled in the EU in 2016 (OECD, 2018). The importance of attracting international students was most recently highlighted in EU Directive 2016/801 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purpose of research, studies, training, voluntary service, pupil exchange schemes or educational projects and au pairing.1 While Ireland has not opted into the Directive, the publication of two international education strategies since 2010 and reform of the non-EEA student immigration framework reflect the importance now being attached to promoting the higher education of non-EEA students in Ireland. Immigration of non-EEA nationals for the purposes of higher education in Ireland grew by 45 per cent between 2013, when 9,325 first residence permits were issued to students, and 2017, when 13,519 such permits were issued.2\nThis study examines policy, law and practice in Ireland relating to non-EEA students undertaking a full-time course of study leading to a higher education qualification in public and private third-level institutions. The study focuses on recent developments in policy on the internationalisation of higher education and changes to the student immigration framework that took place between 2012 and 2018. In particular, it looks at measures to attract non-EEA students to Ireland and retain those students following the completion of their studies.3 Non-EEA nationals enrolled in English language and further education programmes are outside the scope of this study.
[Mechanisms of subspecies differentiation in a filial generation of rice indica-japonica hybridization under different ecological conditions].

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Indica-japonica hybridization is one of the most important breeding methods in China, whereas identifying subspecies differentiation mechanisms is the key in indica-japonica hybridization breeding. By using InDels (Insert/Deletion) and ILPs (Intron Length Polymorphism), an analysis was made on the F6 populations derived from the hybridization of indica-japonica (Qishanzhan/Akihikari) planted in Liaoning and Guangdong provinces and generated by bulk harvesting (BM), single-seed descent methods (SSD), and pedigree method (PM). No segregation distortion was observed for the BM and SSD populations. The frequency distribution of japonica kinship percentage (Dj) was concentrated in 40%-60%. The PM populations in the two provinces presented indica-deviated distribution (30%-55%), with significant difference between Guangdong (38%) and Liaoning (42%). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the Dj and the kinship of functional gene regions in the BM and SSD populations. However, part of the positive correlation was broken in the PM populations that showed a regular distribution in the genotype patterns of indica and japonica loci. The above results demonstrated that artificial selection could be the main factor affecting the population differentiation in indica-japonica hybridization, and, with the synergistic effect of natural selection, induced the phenomenon of segregation distortion. There existed a close relationship between the differentiation of subspecies and the important agronomic traits, which could be the main reason why indica-japonica hybridiation breeding could not achieve the expected effect of combining the two subspecies advantages.
The impact of changes in regulations on Malaysian IPOs

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Purpose This study aims to examine the changes in equity guidelines and initial returns in the Malaysian initial public offering (IPO) market. Design/methodology/approach The study uses cross-sectional data over 16 years from 2000 to 2016. It uses ordinary least squares for the baseline model and incorporates an interaction term, quantile regression, quadratic term, break test and logit regression model for further analysis. Findings The results support the propositions that lockup provisions signal commitment and demand increase initial returns. The revision in the Bumiputera equity requirement means that issuers no longer need to discount offer prices to entice investors. Finally, the revised Sharīʿah-compliance screening requirement ensures that stocks are better in quality and more transparent, leading to a higher demand that drives prices upwards. Research limitations/implications This study’s findings provide insights into how issuers can secure good subscriptions. Besides, policymakers should ensure that firms disclose the required information in their prospectuses. Originality/value This study adds to the body of knowledge on whether and how the regulatory requirements affect IPO initial returns.
Knowledge-driven preferences in informal inbound open innovation modes. An explorative view on small to medium enterprises

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose This paper aims to investigate three key factors (i.e. cognitive dimensions, the knowledge-driven approach and absorptive capacity) that are likely to determine the preference for informal inbound open innovation (OI) modes, through the lens of the OI model and knowledge-based view (KBV). The innovation literature has differentiated these collaborations into informal inbound OI entry modes and formal inbound OI modes, offering an advocative and conceptual view. However, empirical studies on these collaborations are still limited. Design/methodology/approach Building on the above-mentioned theoretical framework, the empirical research was performed in two stages. First, data were collected via a closed-ended questionnaire distributed to all the participants from the sample by e-mail. Second, to assess the hypotheses, structural equation modelling (SEM) via IBM® SPSS® Amos 20 was applied. Findings The empirical research was conducted on 175 small to medium enterprises in the United Kingdom, suggesting that the knowledge-driven approach is the strongest determinant, leading to a preference for informal inbound OI modes. The findings were obtained using SEM and are discussed in line with the theoretical framework. Research limitations/implications Owing to the chosen context and sector of the empirical analysis, the research results may lack generalisability. Hence, new studies are proposed. Practical implications The paper includes implications for the development of informal inbound OI led by knowledge-driven approach. Originality/value This paper offers an empirical research to investigate knowledge-driven preferences in informal inbound OI modes.
I.C.C. R.I.P. -- HAS TRANSPORTATION REGULATION OUTLIVED ITS USEFULNESS? .

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In the summer of 1995 the House and Senate tried to zero-fund the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) for fiscal year 1995. In a compromise to salvage something, the Congress only cut the budget of the ICC to a third. In the meantime, many employees had been retired or left the agency for other reasons, and the staff size had gotten smaller. In order to accommodate the ICC with a one-third budget, the Congress enacted the Trucking Industry Regulatory Reform Act (TIRRA) which largely did away with what was left of truck regulation by the ICC. This paper discusses the continuing role of the ICC in transportation regulation. Some ideas presented include the establishment of a National Transportation Commission; and folding the ICC and Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) into the Department of Transportation (DOT).
Concealed hydrothermal alteration zones provide mechanical weaknesses within lava domes

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Catastrophic lava dome collapse is considered an unpredictable volcanic hazard because the physical properties, stress conditions, and internal structure of lava domes are not well understood. To better explain the locations of recent dome instability events at Merapi volcano, Indonesia (1), we combined geochemical and mineralogical analyses, rock physical property measurements, drone-based photogrammetry, and numerical modelling. We show that a linear fissure and a horseshoe-shaped alteration zone that formed in 2014 was buried by lava extrusion in 2018. The linear fissure controlled the location of the new lava dome, while the horseshoe shaped zone influenced subsequent instability. Geomechanical, mineralogical, and geochemical data suggest that such alteration zones are characterised by mechanically weak, hydrothermally altered materials, and we show that the new lava dome is collapsing along this now-hidden horseshoe shaped and comparatively weak alteration zone (2). To derive an improved general understanding of this phenomenon, we then combined recent laboratory data for the mechanical behaviour of dome rocks with discrete element method models to show that the presence of weak zones within lava domes increases instability, which is exacerbated when the size of the zone increases or when the zone is positioned off-centre (3). Our results highlight that improved understanding of dome architecture and compositional variations due to hydrothermal alteration within domes is essential for assessing hazards associated with dome and edifice failure at volcanoes worldwide.

Renal Cell Carcinoma Associated with Xp11.2 Translocation/TFE3 Gene Fusion: A Case Report with Immunohistochemical and Cytological Features

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Gene fusions involving two of the MiT subfamily factors, such as TFE3, TFEB, TFC and MiTF, have been identified in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Xp11.2 translocation RCC is a rare pediatric neoplasm that harbors gene fusions involving TFE3, which plays an important role in cell proliferation and survival. We herein present a case of RCC associated with Xp11.2 translocation/TFE3 gene fusion in a 14-year-old Japanese boy presenting gross hematuria and body weight loss. The tumor was characterized by histopathology, cytology and TFE3-immunohistochemistry/immunocytochemistry. Knowledge of distinctive morphological and immunostaining features of this tumor can help to accurately diagnose this rare subset of translocation associated RCC in routine pathological diagnostic procedures.
Detecting Host-Plant Volatiles with Odorant Receptors from Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Grapholita molesta is a global pest of stone and pome fruits. The sensitive olfactory system plays a crucial role in regulating key behavioral activities of insects and G. molesta relies heavily on general odorant receptors (ORs) to detect host-plant volatiles. In this study, three general OR genes from G. molesta (GmolOR12, GmolOR20, and GmolOR21) were identified. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that GmolORs expression was considerably higher in adults and adult antennae than in any other life stages and body parts, respectively. Moreover, the expression of GmolORs was significantly higher in the antennae of females than in those of males, with a peak in the antennae of 3-days-old adult females. GmolOR20 and GmolOR21 displayed no responses to any of the odorant compounds tested in the Xenopus oocyte system. GmolOR12 was tuned mainly to 5 of the 47 odorant components tested (including decanol, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, and decanal), and the response to aldehydes among the 5 components was the highest. Additionally, they all elicited female and male antennae electroantennogram responses, and the aldehydes elicited the highest response among the 5 components. These results suggested that GmolOR12 in the G. molesta olfactory system plays an important role in sensing aldehydes and that GmolOR12 is involved in sensing host-plant volatiles. These findings provide insight into the possibility of using host-plant volatiles for the control of G. molesta.
PRI Control Methodology for Grid-Connected Inverters in Harmonic Distorted Grid Utility

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The impacts of grid voltage on grid current in distributed generation grid-connected inverters are analyzed, and a control strategy that can compensate harmonics and suppress DC bias is proposed. In comparison with traditional PR controller, the proposed PRI controller with an additional integral part obtains a higher gain in low frequency, and the controller has an apparent effort especially for suppressing DC bias. Finally the PRI controller is verified in a 50KW. The experimental results show that the PRI controller not only can reduce harmonics of grid current in the steady state but also can suppress DC bias rapidly in a dynamic process. The PRI controller is suitable for DGs since they typically contain low order harmonics which caused by nonlinear l three-level inverter loads.
A Facilities Management Solution for Montessori in Redlands

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Montessori in Redlands is a small, private, non-profit Montessori school in Redlands, CA serving toddlers to pre-teens. Their campus includes six buildings nestled in grapefruit groves and spread across twelve acres. The school requested assistance implementing a solution for managing these facilities and their contents. Staff members identified three problems of high concern: (a) lost classroom items due to lack of inventory tracking, (b) unexpected costs to replace failing building components, and (c) emergency first responders lacking access to high-quality campus maps. This project implemented a GIS to create a facilities management solution to address these concerns and allow for expansion in the future. Utilizing ArcGIS Online, the campus data are stored in a series of Hosted Feature Layers and are manipulated in Web Maps, Web Apps, Dashboards, and the Field Maps mobile application. Within these layers are building floorplans that use the ArcGIS Indoors information model to dynamically store and query indoor features in a way that makes sense to the user. All features “know” where they are in relation to others so users can locate items between buildings and floors without having to interact with the raw data. Indeed, ease of use was considered one of the most important aspects of the system. Consequently, the implemented system can be accessed, adjusted, and expanded without touching ArcGIS Pro.

Recognition and Segmentation of Scene Content using Region-Based Classification

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present a novel method for joint segmentation and pixelwise classification of images, classifying each pixel in the image into one of a set of broad categories. We propose a 2-step approach for this problem, first estimating image structure through dense region segmentation, which provides initial spatial grouping (superpixels), then performing recognition by classifying each superpixel according to its features. Two types of region features are investigated: perceptual grouping features derived from neighborhood relations in the superpixel graph, and a histogram of pixel textons within the superpixel. Region classification is performed by boosting for perceptual features and histogram matching for texton features. We also introduce a novel extension of multi-class boosting: MAP estimation in the space of classifier ensemble outputs. Extensive results on aerial imagery are presented using a label vocabulary of trees, roads, vehicles, grass, shadows, and buildings. We evaluate the two methods across the categories, and compare them to the standard approach of classifying image blocks without prior segmentation. In our experiments perceptual features using multi-class boosting provide the best performance.
Harmonic compensation of a six-pulse current source controlled converter using neural network-based shunt active power filter

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Active power filter (APF) performance is affected by the system delay introduced in the reference signals and/or the actual injected current. This study introduces an artificial intelligent-based technique using a neural network control strategy for a shunt APF. The proposed system is capable of mitigating specific harmonic orders and consequently achieves low harmonic factor and reduced current total harmonic distortion (THD). In addition, the delay time introduced when extracting the harmonic reference current and when controlling the filter current is minimised. The control technique presented in this study is assessed on a medium voltage 6-pulse current source converter where the mains current dominant harmonics (5th, 7th, 11th and 13th) are compensated. The proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. A prototype system is used to experimentally validate the proposed APF performance.
THz metasurfaces for nonlinear optics

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

THz nonlinearity is reported in actively tunable integrated graphene/metamaterial arrays by using an ultrafast table top powerful time domain spectroscopic system with incident E-field energy pulses between 1 kV/cm and 100 kV/cm. The nonlinear interaction between the main metamaterial resonance and the sub-ps THz pulses produced a few distinct nonlinear phenomena, such as harmonic generation, optical Kerr effect. The complex dispersive properties of these devices pave the way for a plethora of novel functionalities, ranging from frequency generation to saturable absorbers.
Are GRB Blackbodies an Artifact of Spectral Evolution?

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The analysis of gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra with multi-component emission models has become an important part of the field. In particular, multi-component analysis where one component is a blackbody representing emission from a photosphere has enabled both a more detailed understanding of the energy content of the jet as well as the ability to examine the dynamic structure of the outflow. While the existence of a blackbody-like component has been shown to be significant and not a byproduct of background fluctuations, it is very possible that it can be an artifact of spectral evolution of a single component that is being poorly resolved in time. Herein, this possibility is tested by simulating a single component evolving in time and then folding the spectra through the $Fermi$ detector response to generate time-tagged event Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) data. We then fit both the time integrated and resolved generated spectral data with a multi-component model using standard tools. It is found that in {\it time-integrated} spectra, a blackbody can be falsely identified due to the spectral curvature introduced by the spectral evolution. However, in time-resolved analysis defined by time bins that can resolve the evolution of the spectra, the significance of the falsely identified blackbody is very low. Additionally, the evolution of the artificial blackbody parameters does not match the recurring behavior that has been identified in the actual observations. These results reinforce the existence of the blackbody found in {\it time-resolved} analysis of GRBs and stress the point that caution should be taken when using time-integrated spectral analysis for identifying physical properties of GRBs.
Gough Island

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

According to a note by Allan Crawford ( Geographical Journal , xciv, p. 412) H.M.S. Milford called at Gough Island in the Southern Ocean at the end of March 1938. Following instructions from the Colonial Office, the captain landed with a party to hoist the Union Jack and declare this island a dependency of St Helena. Discovered in the sixteenth century by the Portuguese, and named by them Diego Alvarez, it seems to have been lost sight of until, in 1731, Captain Gough, homeward bound in his ship Richmond round the Cape of Good Hope, sighted an island in the South Atlantic, which henceforth went by his name. It was only slowly that geographers came to the conclusion that Diego Alvarez and Gough were one and the same island, and then the former name gradually disappeared from charts. Gough Island has been claimed as British territory since Captain Gough reported it.
