Semantics Centric Solutions for Application and Data Portability in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing has become one of the key considerations both in academia and industry. Cheap, seemingly unlimited computing resources that can be allocated almost instantaneously and pay-as-you-go pricing schemes are some of the reasons for the success of Cloud computing. The Cloud computing landscape, however, is plagued by many issues hindering adoption. One such issue is vendor lock-in, forcing the Cloud users to adhere to one service provider in terms of data and application logic. Semantic Web has been an important research area that has seen significant attention from both academic and industrial researchers. One key property of Semantic Web is the notion of interoperability and portability through high level models. Significant work has been done in the areas of data modeling, matching, and transformations. The issues the Cloud computing community is facing now with respect to portability of data and application logic are exactly the same issue the Semantic Web community has been trying to address for some time. In this paper we present an outline of the use of well established semantic technologies to overcome the vendor lock-in issues in Cloud computing. We present a semantics-centric programming paradigm to create portable Cloud applications and discuss MobiCloud, our early attempt to implement the proposed approach.

Micronutrients’ Foliar Fertilization and Releasing Green Lacewing Chrysoperla Carnea (Stephens) Could Efficiently Suppress Sugar Beet Insect Pests

Sugar beet is attacked by many mischievous insect pests. To avoid too much reliance on pesticides, many studies have been conducted to search alternative methods of sugar beet pest control. In the present study, we evaluated whether pant fertilization and biological control could be efficacious techniques to suppress insect pests of sugar beet. In two successive growing seasons of 2015–2016 and 2016–2017, we investigated the impacts of Nutrimix ® complete, a foliar fertilizer with concentrated micronutrients including nitrogen and sulfur, and also release of the common green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea larvae, a generalist predator of insect herbivores, on insect pest infestation in the sugar beet fields. Applications of the foliar fertilizer significantly decreased the percentages of plants infested by cotton leaf worms or sugar beet beetles, while the infestations by sugar beet flies and the sugar beet moths were less influenced. Releasing the predator C. carnea in sugar beet fields was found to effectively reduce pest populations though the effectiveness depended on the seasons. The plants in lacewing–released plots were attacked by fewer aphids, sugar beet moths, leafhoppers and sugar beet flies than those in control plots. Aphid populations were the most influenced, and the reduction percentages reached 100% in the 2015–2016 season and 97.08% in 2016–2017 after 14 days of release, while the sugar beet flies were the least influenced with 64.84% and 49.88% reduction in the first and second seasons, respectively. Our study demonstrated the usefulness of micronutrient application and C. carnea larvae for suppressing insect pest populations in sugar beet fields.

Attitudes to social policies relevant to family formation

Abstract This chapter explores people’s attitudes to childcare, work-life balance and related social policies in relation to their attitudes to having children. New measures were developed to tap attitudes in this sphere. It is clear that choices regarding family size are being influenced by child care costs and the data suggest that if these were more affordable people would be inclined to have more children than they are presently having. Another important factor which impinges on fertility decisions is that the workplace as currently constructed is not viewed as conducive to work-life balance and flexible working policies are perceived as relevant to childbearing decisions. Results signalled a readiness for greater sharing of childcare between men and women. The findings underscore the need for social policy to address the dilemmas faced by young people who want to start families, while at the same time fulfilling their own needs for autonomy and development.

Living on the Edge: Hawaii Hillside Development Regulation and an Exploitative Architectural Approach

The hillsides and steep slopes of Hawaii present an array of complex design issues, hazards, and challenges to an architectural designer, the majority of which are obsolete or atypical in severity to those of a standard, non-sloping site. As such, governmental intervention has emerged, as well as the subsequent enforcement of site-specific regulations regarding the development of sloping terrain. Under these circumstances, a designer's approach must conform to the irregular terrain and its corresponding limitations, which will vary according to the degree of incline of the site. Prior to any inceptions of conceptual or schematic design, a clear and concise understanding of such regulations, their implications, and any other ensuing conditions and/or requirements is essential. Upon achievement of such qualifications, the challenge then posed, is the harmonious coalescence of program and place by exploitation of the site through the genius of architecture.

26. HUP Abstract Systems for Long-Term Care

The Hospital Utilization Project (HUF) has developed systems for data collection, report generation, and program analysis for three long-term care components. In the Skilled Nursing Facility Program, a uniform medical record abstract was developed, a procedure manual prepared, and instruction provided to participating SNFs both in abstract completion and report interpretation. Reports have been found useful for utilization review, medical care evaluation, facility management, and community health planning. The Rehabilitation Facility Program abstract includes basic data consisting of elements of the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set modified for the rehabilitation setting, and an optional functional status section. Designed to meet the needs of medically oriented facilities, the program should have great potential if administrative and staffing problems in the facilities relating to the provision of data can be overcome, and if difficulties regarding uniformity in defining and displaying primary diagnosis for summary reports can be resolved. The primary objectives of the Home Health Agencies Project were development of utilization review methods and data on patient care in the home health setting. The major obstacle encountered was that record systems and methods of statistical reporting in the participating agencies are so varied and fragmented as to make meaningful conclusions and comparisons almost impossible at this stage.

Exchange Patterns in the Informal Support Networks of the Elderly: The Impact of Reciprocity on Morale

Patterns of exchange of assistance within the informal helping networks of the elderly are examined through analysis of interviews with a probability sample of 753 noninstitutionalized older persons. Most elders are involved in some type of exchange, although the proportion reporting no exchange increases as one moves from children to other relatives to friends or neighbors. Older persons who receive help usually reciprocate in some way, with the prevalence of unreciprocated assistance higher in relationships with family members than with friends or neighbors. Multiple discriminant analysis of exchange patterns produced two significant functions, the first differentiating receivers from nonreceivers and the second providers from nonproviders of help. Consistent with an exchange theory perspective, the analyses suggested that the inability to reciprocate rather than the need for assistance had a greater negative effect on morale. The data also showed a negative relationship between scope offormal service use and reliance on the informal network, a result consistent with both a possible substitution effect and/or appropriate targeting of formal services.

The Use of a Visual Image to Promote Narrative Writing Ability and Creativity

Purpose : Second language writing as an inherent part of ELT is no exception. One specific part of second language writing in which visual images can be used is narrative essay writing. Visual images, in this case, comic series and pictures, can be a very useful aid in stimulating students’ ideas, creativity, as well as interest and ability in narrative essay writing. Students’ writing activities in using  pictures and comic strips are discussed in this study, including students’ responses towards this particular topic, as well as the procedures of how these visual images are used. This study is therefore aimed at disclosing how pictures and comic strips, as forms of visual images, can be used to enhance students’ narrative writing ability as well as creativity. In writing narrative essays with the help of visual images, students were helped in terms of generating ideas, developing logical and critical thinking, and improving reasoning skills. Research Methods: The design of this study was qualitative in nature. The participants were comprised of 19 Professional Narrative Writing students. The data for this research was taken from documents, that is, students’ essays and journals which were written after the writing activities were done, interviews with two students, and students’ scores. There were also pre-tests and post-tests given at the beginning and the end of the semester, but the scores were descriptively presented. Interviews with two students were also conducted to validate the findings. These students, whose essays were used as analyzed documents, were enrolled in the Professional Narrative Writing class of the English Language Education Program, the Faculty of Language and Arts (FLA), Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (UKSW), Salatiga, Indonesia. The class was conducted in Semester I of the 2017-2018 academic year. The students were fourth-semester students. The Professional Narrative Writing course taught students how to be professional in writing narratives. Findings: The findings showed that pictures, as well as comic strips, were very useful in helping students to write narratives. They helped students generate ideas, delve into more creativity, as well as develop their imagination and motivation in writing, though some students experienced difficulties in some aspects like ideas, grammar, diction, and plot. Implications for Research and Practice: The results of the study hopefully can inspire other narrative writing lecturers all over the globe to maximize the use of visual images, including pictures and comic strips. These visual aids can enhance students’ writing abilities as well as their creativity. Students taking writing courses can hopefully be motivated to write better narratives.

The Bifactor Model of Psychopathology: Methodological Issues and Clinical Applications

For decades, clinicians have debated whether psychiatric problems should be ‘lumped’ into broad dimensions or ‘split’ into discrete entities. The bifactor model provides a potential solution to this debate by including both a general dimension of psychopathological severity known as the p factor, and specific dimensions reflecting specific problem areas such as internalizing and externalizing. This thesis evaluates the methodological properties and clinical utility of the bifactor model. Chapter 3 is a reliability review of bifactor studies and demonstrates that while self-report measures capture both general and specific domains of psychopathology, the total and subscale scores derived mainly reflect a general p factor. Chapter 4 investigates whether the general and specific psychopathology factors are products of response biases (i.e. tendencies in the way people fill out questionnaires), rather than variation in people’s experiences of psychiatric problems. Less than 4% of the variance in the general and specific psychopathology factors was explained by response biases, demonstrating their substantive validity. Chapter 5 analyzes clinical outcomes assessed over a psychosocial intervention for antisocial youth with a bifactor model and demonstrates more nuanced changes in disorder-specific factors after accounting for changes in the p factor (e.g., antisociality declines but anxiety increases over time). Similarly, Chapter 6 demonstrates the prognostic value of specific personality disorders for predicting depression outcomes assessed over an inpatient intervention only after accounting for the prognostic effect of a general personality disorder factor (e.g., borderline personality disorder predicts slower recovery). These findings demonstrate the substantive nature of the general and specific psychopathology factors, but also the difficulties in reliably measuring specific domains beyond general psychopathology. They also support the bifactor model’s utility in untangling clinically relevant effects that are otherwise masked by the shared variance among psychiatric problems.

Public Acceptance of Evolution in India

The public acceptance of evolution has been in debate since the initial publication of Darwin’s theory about origin of species. According to public polls carried out in a range of countries, the public acceptance of evolution is low in many countries with high degree of religiosity. Although religiosity is high in India, public acceptance of evolution has never been objectively evaluated in India yet. The rejection or denial of evolution could possibly offer the risk of shifting science education to common or popular beliefs and ideas, for example, creationism and intelligent design. Aim of the present study was to find out the public acceptance of evolution in India by carrying out a primary survey in 14 Indian states. Based upon the answers by the participants, the study explored the variables related to public acceptance of evolution namely, gender, religion, politics and occupation. The results showed that the 69.4% participants accepted evolution, which is very high compared with other countries of the world. Plausible reasons for high acceptance of evolution in India is being discussed in this paper.

The Functions of Human Monocytes in Normal Subjects and in Disorders Associated with Immune Deficiency

Human peripheral blood monocytes were tested for various functions. It was found that 63–70% of monocytes from 12 normal subjects phagocytized either &lt;i&gt;Staphylococcus epidermidis&lt;/i&gt; or latex particles; 28% of Staphylococcus organisms exposed to cells were phagocytized in 1 h and 67% were killed within 2 h; 59% of phagocytizing cells reduced NBT; 77% of endocytosed rabbit gammaglobulin was catabolized in 18 h. In Hodgkin’s disease, sarcoidosis and severe pulmonary tuberculosis, phagocytic and bactericidal capacity was decreased in one third to two thirds of cases, while catabolism of gammaglobulin was reduced less often and metabolism was practically unmodified. By contrast, phagocytic and bactericidal capacity were practically normal in the common variable form of agammaglobulinemia, while gammaglobulin was catabolized at a low level in all cases. There was no relationship between the functional disorders of monocytes and alterations of lymphocyte stimulation. These results indicate that mononuclear phagocytes may have intrinsic alterations of functions which can result in deficient defense mechanisms and/or immune response.

A probabilistic approach to calculate the Sv fractions for small pelagic fishes and zooplankton with a bi-frequency system

A common practice in acoustic data post-processing is to set, a priori, the intervals of volume backscattering strength for small pelagic fishes zooplankton, which may induce a bias in biomass estimations. To reduce this, a method based in the joint probability event to find one of these groups was evaluated. In a frequency distribution the when joint probability reaches 0.25 corresponds with the maximum overlap zone between acoustic signals. Fish shoals and zooplankton scattering layers were identified in 35 echograms recorded with a SIMRAD EK60 split beam echosounder (38,120 kHz) in the Gulf of California, México. Acoustic prospections and confirmatory trawls were performed, obtaining in some cases a correspondence of 90% between backscattered energy values and trawl species composition (Engraulismordax). A total of 839 and 843 backscattering strength values were obtained from the echograms. From both frequencies, the "0.25" scenario is reached for a -62 to -56 dB interval. The maximum likelihood estimators (L), calculated from a binomial model were, for fishes L(f)= 0.14 and for zooplankton L(zp)=0.11 respectively, and corresponds to a probability value of=0.48, wich is consistent with the joint probability values previously estimated. The 95% upper (-44 dB, fishes) and 5% lower (-70dB, zooplankton) limits were defined from their probability distribution. Thus, for a bifrequency system of 38-120 kHz, we propose for small pelagic fishes a volume backscattering strength interval from -56 to -44 dB, and -70 to -62 dB for zooplankton in the Gulf of California.

A positive Link Between Male Testosterone and Spacing Behavior in Pair‐Bonded <scp>C</scp>alifornia Mice

Abstract The effects of testosterone ( T ) on male sexual behavior are well established, but its roles in several associated social behaviors such as pair‐bonding and paternal behavior are diverse. Recently, we reported that male T in response to pairing with a female predicts future paternal behavior in the monogamous and biparental C alifornia mouse ( P eromyscus californicus ). Here, we examined whether T in response to pairing is also associated with spacing behavior between mates under laboratory conditions and if these behavioral patterns are continued during pup care. Pairs of C alifornia mice were observed throughout their pair bond before and again after pups were born. We found that males with higher T post‐pairing remained closer to their mates in the weeks before pups were born, and pairs with higher proximity measures during the pair bond spent more time caring for pups together. Overall, these results suggest a similar mechanism for spacing behavior across distinct phases of the pair bond.
