Achieving high-throughput distributed, graph-based multi-stage stream processing

Processing complex computations on high volume streaming data in real time is a challenge for many organizational data processing systems. Such systems should produce results with low latency while processing billions of messages daily. In order to address these requirements distributed stream processing systems have been developed. Although high performance is one of the main goals of these systems, there is less attention has been paid for inter node communication performance which is a key aspect to achieve overall system performance. In this thesis we describe a framework for enhancing inter node communication efficiency. We compare performance of our system with Twitter Storm and Yahoo S4 using an implementation of Pan Tompkins algorithm which is used to detect QRS complexities of an ECG signal using a 2 node graph. Our results show our solution performs 4 times better than other systems. We also use four level node graph which is used to process smart plug data to test the performance of our system for a complex graph. Finally we demonstrate how our system is scalable and resilient to faults.

Efficient asymmetric transmission for wide incidence angles using chiral s <scp>plit‐ring‐resonators</scp>

In this article, a chiral metasurface is proposed for controlling the linear polarization over broadband which consists of simple circular split-ring-resonator based unit cells on both sides of ultrathin (0.05λ at the operating frequency of 20 GHz) substrate. Across the large operating band (19.4–22.7 GHz), the structure is highly efficient with transmission efficiency greater than 0.94 and asymmetric transmission magnitude more than 0.8. Moreover, the structure exhibits stable response up to 45°, which is desirable for many K-band applications in radar and small satellite communication systems. The proposed metasurface acquires direction-dependent propagation with 90° linear polarization plane rotation, as depicted by simulated and experimental results. Furthermore, the structure is insensitive to circular polarized propagation within the operating band.

Leveraging inter-individual transcriptional correlation structure to infer discrete signaling mechanisms across metabolic tissues

Inter-organ communication is a vital process to maintain physiologic homeostasis, and its dysregulation contributes to many human diseases. Given that circulating bioactive factors are stable in serum, occur naturally, and are easily assayed from blood, they present obvious focal molecules for therapeutic intervention and biomarker development. Recently, studies have shown that secreted proteins mediating inter-tissue signaling could be identified by ‘brute force’ surveys of all genes within RNA-sequencing measures across tissues within a population. Expanding on this intuition, we reasoned that parallel strategies could be used to understand how individual genes mediate signaling across metabolic tissues through correlative analyses of gene variation between individuals. Thus, comparison of quantitative levels of gene expression relationships between organs in a population could aid in understanding cross-organ signaling. Here, we surveyed gene-gene correlation structure across 18 metabolic tissues in 310 human individuals and 7 tissues in 103 diverse strains of mice fed a normal chow or high-fat/high-sucrose (HFHS) diet. Variation of genes such as FGF21, ADIPOQ, GCG, and IL6 showed enrichments which recapitulate experimental observations. Further, similar analyses were applied to explore both within-tissue signaling mechanisms (liver PCSK9 ) and genes encoding enzymes producing metabolites (adipose PNPLA2 ), where inter-individual correlation structure aligned with known roles for these critical metabolic pathways. Examination of sex hormone receptor correlations in mice highlighted the difference of tissue-specific variation in relationships with metabolic traits. We refer to this resource as g ene-derived correlations across tissues (GD-CAT) where all tools and data are built into a web portal enabling users to perform these analyses without a single line of code ( gdcat.org ). This resource enables querying of any gene in any tissue to find correlated patterns of genes, cell types, pathways, and network architectures across metabolic organs.

Pulmonary capillary blood flow during cardiac catheterization

Methods for the measurement of mean and instantaneous pulmonary capillary blood flow by means of a horizontal body plethysmograph have been described. Methods of calibration were described for the determination of the rate with which N 2 O was taken up by the blood from the recorded plethysmographic pressure. They included a correction factor for leaks, and for changes from mainly adiabatic to more isothermal conditions. Duplicate determinations with the plethysmographic N 2 O uptake method of mean pulmonary capillary blood flow showed a good reproducibility and comparison with the direct Fick method during cardiac catheterization on six patients did not show any statistically significant difference. Examples illustrating the use of the method for comparison between the pulmonary vascular pressure gradient and the pulmonary capillary pulse flow curves are presented. Submitted on June 26, 1961

Supplemental Feeding of Hybrid Sunfish Populations

Abstract When stocked at high densities in ponds and fed Purina Trout Chow, F1hybrids of male redear (Lepomis microlophus) X female green sunfish (L. cyanellus) used supplemental food poorly and growth was unsatisfactory. F1hybrids of male green sunfish X female bluegill (L. macrochirus) utilized supplemental food readily and produced populations that had high percentages of catchable fish at the end of the first year of feeding. Males of the latter hybrid grew at a significantly higher rate than did the females. Conversion values were comparable to those obtained in feeding channel catfish.

Hyaluronic Acid versus Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Intra-Articular Injections for Amelioration of Knee Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis: A Rat Model

Abstract Background: The study was performed to evaluate whether intra-articular injection of A2M has better effect than current commonly used Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injection therapy to attenuate cartilage degeneration in a rat anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) osteoarthritis (OA) model. Method: In vivo effects of A2M and HA on cartilage degeneration were evaluated in rat surgery induced ACLT OA models. 100 rats were randomly divided into four groups: (a) Sham surgery + saline (Sham + S), (b) ACLT + A2M, (c) ACLT+HA, or (d) ACLT + saline (ACLT+S). The animals were sacrificed at 12 weeks after surgery. Histological staining was performed to assess cartilage damage. The concentration of MMP-13 and sGAG in synovial fluid lavages was measured using ELISA and spectrophotometric quantitative determination. OA-related gene expression was quantified by qPCR. Result: Indian ink staining showed that articular cartilage surface treated by A2M was relatively intact compared with the animals treated by ACLT with saline or HA injection. Histological staining indicated that early supplemental intra-articular injection of A2M attenuated OA pathogenesis in the rat ACLT model compared with the animals treated with saline and HA. However, supplemental intra-articular injection of HA showed no significant effect on cartilage protection for post traumatic OA compared with saline treatment. Elisa results showed A2M reduced the concentration of MMP-13 in synovial fluid compared with HA treatment group and other groups. RT-qPCR indicated that supplemental intra-articular A2M inhibits catabolism and enhances anabolic metabolism, while there was no significant difference in the expression of OA-related genes between ACLT+HA group and ACLT+S group. Conclusion: In rat model, intra-articular injection of A2M had obvious protective effects on cartilage degeneration compared with HA treatment. Major indexes of joint degeneration decreased, providing strong evidence for its intra-articular inhibitory effect. Meanwhile, we found no significant alleviation of articular cartilage pathogenesis in HA treated group, which suggests that the efficacy of HA is questionable and possibly transient, although it is extensively used to improve syndromes.

An informative prior distribution on functions with application to functional regression

We provide a prior distribution for a functional parameter so that its trajectories are smooth and vanish on a given subset. This distribution can be interpreted as the distribution of an initial Gaussian process conditioned to be zero on a given subset. Precisely, we show that the initial Gaussian process is the sum of the conditioned process and an independent process with probability one and that all the processes have the same almost sure regularity. This prior distribution is use to provide an interpretable estimate of the coefficient function in the linear scalar‐on‐function regression; by interpretable, we mean a smooth function that may possibly be zero on some intervals. We apply our model in a simulation and real case studies with two different priors for the null region of the coefficient function. In one case, the null region is known to be an unknown single interval. In the other case, it can be any unknown unions of intervals.

Building theatre, making policy: materiality and cultural democracy at Liverpool’s PurpleDoor

This article approaches the idea of architecture, theatre and cultural democracy as relational concepts, and considers the theatre building as a cultural artefact which both manifests and embodies power relations. We use the case study of Liverpool’s PurpleDoor to explore this idea. We consider theatre buildings as cultural artefacts to focus attention on the impact of material or physical factors and the power of cultural institutions to orient specific forms of behaviour and activity around themselves. In seeing architectural design as an embodiment of politics, philosophy and cultural policy, the article considers both the practical and theoretical dimensions of the future of a theatre architecture concerned with cultural democracy. The interconnection between political ideas of theatre’s contemporary social role and the material construction of the building – the performative nature of the performance space – become vital in recognising and re-prioritising values designed to address the intersectional nature of power systems afflicting the cultural sector and enabling citizen usage of cultural space. The article situates PurpleDoor in an historical lineage which articulates the aspiration to become both a site for critical inquiry and a contemporary manifestation of cultural democracy for 21st century British theatre.

Co-induction of beta-galactosidase and the lactose-P-enolpyruvate phosphotransferase system in Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus mutans

The addition of lactose, galactose, or isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) to glucose-grown cells of Streptococcus salivarius 25975 resulted in the co-induction of both the lactose-P-enolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (lactose-PTS) and beta-galactosidase, with the latter the predominant metabolic system. With various strains of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguis 10556, on the other hand, the lactose-PTS was the major metabolic pathway with beta-galactosidase induced either to low or negligible levels. In all cases, induction of the lactose-PTS resulted in the concomitant induction of 6-P-beta-galactosidase. The induction by lactose of both the lactose-PTS and beta-galactosidase in all strains was repressed by glucose and other catabolites, notably, fructose. Induction of beta-galactosidase in S. salivarius 25975 by IPTG was, however, relatively resistant to glucose repression. Induction experiments with IPTG and lactose suggested that a cellular metabolite of lactose metabolism was a repressor of enzyme activity. Exogenous cAMP was shown to reverse the transient repression by glucose of beta-galactosidase induction in cells of S. salivarius 25975 receiving lactose, provided the cells were grown with small amounts of toluene to overcome the permeability barrier to this nucleotide, cAMP, was however, unable to overcome the permanent repression of beta-galactosidase activity to a significant extent under these conditions.

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

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

Comparative efficacy and life quality effects of surgical stripping, radiofrequency ablation, and cyanoacrylate embolization in patients undergoing treatment for great saphenous vein insufficiency

Objectives To compare traditional surgery with two minimally invasive endo-venous procedures in terms of their long-term effect on the quality of life in great saphenous vein insufficiency (GSV). Method This prospective observational study included 217 patients that underwent surgical stripping (n = 62), radiofrequency ablation (n = 70), or cyanoacrylate embolization (n = 85) for the treatment of GSV insufficiency. Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) assessments were made, 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire and Chronic Venous Insufficiency quality of life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-14) were administered, before and 1 year after the treatments. Results Surgical stripping group had significantly higher closure rates than the other groups (p &lt; 0.05). At 12 months, decrease in VCSS scores was less pronounced in the cyanoacrylate embolization group when compared to the other two groups (p &lt; 0.05). Improvement in CIVIQ-14 scores was better in the radiofrequency ablation group when compared to the cyanoacrylate embolization group (p &lt; 0.05). Surgical stripping or radiofrequency ablation groups performed better on several domains of SF-36, when compared to the cyanoacrylate embolization group. Conclusions Surgical stripping and radiofrequency ablation seem to provide a better quality of life results at one year in patients undergoing treatment for GSV insufficiency.

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Soil Erosion in North-South Pan River Watershed in 2000–2010

In this study, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was applied to analyze the spatial and temporal dynamics of soil erosion in North-South Pan River watershed from 2000 to 2010, and the driving factors were discussed. The results showed that: (1) The average annual soil loss per area in North-South Pan River watershed was 14.6 t/hm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> /yr from 2000 to 2010, and the mean annual total soil loss was about 118 million tons. (2)In 2000–2010, the soil erosion showed an obvious decreasing trend with an annual variation of −0.87 t/hm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> /yr in North-South Pan River watershed. The soil erosion decreased in 75.1% of this watershed, and the soil erosion intensity decreased in 23.6% of this watershed which were mainly changed from slight to trivial (10.0%), from moderate to slight (7.7%) and from intensive to moderate (2.9%). (3) The declining of soil erosion in North-South Pan River watershed was mainly caused by the joint effect of climate change and ecological projects. The rainfall erosivity factor decreased greatly according to the observations of meteorological stations. Meanwhile the implementation of ecological projects helped the restoration of forest and grassland, and the vegetation coverage raise greatly with 0.35%/yr increase which can better prevent the occurrence of soil erosion. (4) Though the soil erosion have decreased a lot recently, the ecological environment of North-south Pan River watershed is still extremely vulnerable to further curb the occurrence of soil erosion in this watershed, a long-term mechanism of ecological protection needs to be established.

Adhesion of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals to anionic sites on the surface of renal epithelial cells

Adhesion of microcrystals to the apical surface of renal tubular cells could be a critical step in the formation of kidney stones. The role of membrane surface charge as a determinant of the interaction between renal epithelial cells (BSC-1 line) and the most common crystal in kidney stones, calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), was studied in a tissue culture model system. Adhesion of COM crystals to cells was blocked by cationized ferritin. Other cations that bind to cells including cetylpyridinium chloride and polylysine, as well as cationic dyes such as Alcian blue, also inhibited adhesion of COM crystals, but not all polycations shared this effect. Specific lectins including Triticum vulgaris (wheat germ agglutinin) blocked crystal binding to the cells. Furthermore, treatment of cells with neuraminidase inhibited binding of crystals. Therefore, anionic cell surface sialic acid residues appear to function as COM crystal receptors that can be blocked by specific cations or lectins. In vivo, alterations in the structure, function, quantity, or availability of these anionic cell surface molecules could lead to crystal retention and formation of renal calculi.

Blood Alcohol Concentrations in Suicide and Motor Vehicle Crash Decedents Ages 18 to 54

Background Using postmortem data, we examined the hypotheses that high (and very high) blood alcohol concentrations ( BAC s) are more common among motor vehicle crash decedents ( MVC s) than among suicide decedents, whereas low alcohol levels are more common among suicides. Methods We examined BAC in 224 suicide decedents and 166 MVC s ages 18 to 54 in the state of New Mexico in 2012. Comparisons between the groups were made based on differing BAC levels using 0.080 g/dl categories including low (0.001 to 0.079 g/dl), high (0.080 to 0.159 g/dl), and very high BAC (≥0.160 g/dl), and based on 0.100 g/dl categories including low (0.001 to 0.099 g/dl), high (0.100 to 0.199 g/dl), and very high BAC (≥0.200 g/dl), with these groups compared with a no‐alcohol reference (0.000 g/dl) in separate analyses. Multivariate logistic regressions compared suicides with MVC s that adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Results Support for the hypothesis that suicides are more likely to have a low BAC level was supported in the analysis using the 0.100 g/dl categorizations. Neither analysis supported the hypothesis that MVC s are more likely to have high (or very high) BAC s compared with suicides. Among both injury groups with positive BAC s, low BAC s were least common. Conclusions Low BAC levels may be more likely to be observed among suicides compared with MVC s, a possible reflection of the more varied role that alcohol plays in suicide compared with MVC . Nonetheless, high (and very high) BAC is the predominant scenario in both suicides and MVC s with positive BAC .
