Numerical and experimental assessment of a typical brazilian footbridge

Abstract For the range of medium spans, around 30 to 40m, composite footbridges are getting popular in Brazil. This kind of structure consists on longitudinal steel truss beams providing support for a concrete deck usually made of precast elements. Typical examples of these structures may be found in many cities in Brazil, especially in Brasilia where a large number of highways demanded a significant set of footbridges. Due to the amount of this kind of composite footbridges in Brazil, studies concerning their mechanical behavior are required in order to ensure pedestrian's safety. For this end, in this paper, a typical Brazilian composite footbridge located in Brasilia is analyzed by means of experimental tests and computational modeling. The focus is the determination of natural frequencies and mode shapes. Strategies to correctly obtain the vertical modes are also discussed since vertical vibration is the main vibration problem expected for the tested footbridge. The obtained results showed that structural balance between stiffness and mass leads to natural frequencies out of the critical frequency range excited by pedestrians in normal use, although the idea was not to measure how these parameters, mass or stiffness, could influence the model. Moreover, Finite Element models were evaluated comparing complexity versus accuracy to predict modal parameters.

Sexual Stratification and Sex-Role Socialization

Data on sex-role values of a sample of college women are examined to ascertain the effect of family structure, social class, and religion on sex-role values, and to support a structural theory of sex-role socialization. Patterns of dominance are found to be crucial within the family, and they act as an intervening variable between mother's education and work history, on the one hand, and sex-role values of the daughters, on the other. The relative occupational and educational resources of father and mother affect their power within the family. Sex-role values also are affected by social class, which defines options available to women and influences parental dominance. Religious background exerts an independent, but unexplained, effect.

Inheritance study of yield components and essential oil constituents in linool type basil

The aim of this study was to conduct an inheritance study for the agronomic and chemical characteristics of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) hybrid 'Genovese' x 'Maria Bonita'. F1 seeds were obtained from a cross of P1 (Genovese) x P2 (Maria Bonita). F2 seeds were obtained from selfing five F1 plants. In this experiment, a randomized block design with three replications was used. Each replication consisted of four treatments (generations). Seven plants from each P1, P2 and F1 generation and 21 plants from the F2 generation were grown for each replication. The following characteristics were evaluated at full bloom: plant height, leaf dry weight, essential oil content and yield in the leaves and the main essential oil chemical constituent concentrations in each plant. The characteristics plant height, essential oil yield and linalool content are controlled by more than one major gene, and these genes present additive and dominant effects. High heritability was observed for the characteristics plant height, leaf dry weight and content of linalool and 1,8-cineole. The hybrid 'Genovese' x 'Maria Bonita' presented a plant height and dry leaf weight heterosis of 32.31% and 131.54%, respectively.

Modified Gorilla Troops Optimization with Deep Learning Based Epileptic Seizure Prediction Model on EEG Signals

Approximately 50 million people worldwide suffer from Epileptic Seizure (ES), a persistent neurological disorder that cannot spread from person to person.Electroencephalography (EEG) is a tool that is often used to identify and diagnose epilepsy by observing how the brain works.However, analyzing EEG recordings to identify epileptic activity can be difficult, time-consuming, and requires specialist expertise.However, a precise and early diagnosis of epilepsy is necessary to start anti-seizure medication treatment and reduce the risk of consequences from recurrent episodes.In this paper, a modified Gorilla Troops Optimization with a Deep Learning based ES Prediction model (MGTODL-ESP) using EEG signals is implemented.The proposed MGTODL-ESP model comprises two main processes: feature selection and prediction.The MGTODL-ESP model uses a modified gorilla troops optimization (MGTO) based feature selection algorithm to select the optimal subset of features.The MGTO-based Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model predicts different types of ES.Finally, the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm was used to tune the parameters of the MGTODL model.The outline of the MGTO-ESP-based feature selection and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO)-based parameter tuning indicates the novelty of this research.A comprehensive empirical study was conducted using a benchmark CHB-MIT scalp EEG database from IEEE DataPort to investigate the improved prediction performance of the MGTODL-ESP model.A comparison of the different methods showed that the MGTODL-ESP approach was the most accurate, with an accuracy rate of 98.50%.

Performance and Robustness of Penalized and Unpenalized Methods for Genetic Prediction of Complex Human Disease

Abstract A central goal of medical genetics is to accurately predict complex disease from genotypes. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of simulated and real data using lasso and elastic‐net penalized support‐vector machine models, a mixed‐effects linear model, a polygenic score, and unpenalized logistic regression. In simulation, the sparse penalized models achieved lower false‐positive rates and higher precision than the other methods for detecting causal SNPs. The common practice of prefiltering SNP lists for subsequent penalized modeling was examined and shown to substantially reduce the ability to recover the causal SNPs. Using genome‐wide SNP profiles across eight complex diseases within cross‐validation, lasso and elastic‐net models achieved substantially better predictive ability in celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, and Crohn's disease, and had equivalent predictive ability in the rest, with the results in celiac disease strongly replicating between independent datasets. We investigated the effect of linkage disequilibrium on the predictive models, showing that the penalized methods leverage this information to their advantage, compared with methods that assume SNP independence. Our findings show that sparse penalized approaches are robust across different disease architectures, producing as good as or better phenotype predictions and variance explained. This has fundamental ramifications for the selection and future development of methods to genetically predict human disease.

Alienation and struggle: everyday student-life of three male students with Asperger Syndrome

This article analyses how three students with Asperger Syndrome (AS) involved in higher education, in Sweden, perceive their everyday life as a student. The aim of the study was to describe the kind of support offered within a freedom of choice system to determine whether the support given by the university acts as a facilitator or as a barrier. The approach is a case study methodology. Nine interviews, three for each student, are analysed as narratives, based on units of meaning and categories. Two main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) The feeling of Alienation is characterized by the students’ perceptions of being outsiders and having to deal with everyday student-life issues instead of engaging in their studies; (2) Struggle – the paradox of handling the feelings of belonging to a community and gaining confidence in being ‘odd’, but acknowledged. Conclusion: freedom of choice demanding logical reasoning can become a burden for students with AS and support given by the universities is sometimes perceived more as a barrier than as a facilitator.

Rethink the Connections among Generalization, Memorization and the Spectral Bias of DNNs

Over-parameterized deep neural networks (DNNs) with sufficient capacity to memorize random noise can achieve excellent generalization performance, challenging the bias-variance trade-off in classical learning theory. Recent studies claimed that DNNs first learn simple patterns and then memorize noise; some other works showed a phenomenon that DNNs have a spectral bias to learn target functions from low to high frequencies during training. However, we show that the monotonicity of the learning bias does not always hold: under the experimental setup of deep double descent, the high-frequency components of DNNs diminish in the late stage of training, leading to the second descent of the test error. Besides, we find that the spectrum of DNNs can be applied to indicating the second descent of the test error, even though it is calculated from the training set only.

GROWTH OF MALE YOUNG IN MOTHERS IMMUNIZED AGAINST Y ANTIGEN.

An experiment was conducted in rats to test the hypothesis that immu nization against Y antigen during pregnancy reduces the chance of a subsequent male fetus being successfully brought to term. Successfully immunized C57BL females were mated with males of the same strain. The number of implantation sites embryonic mortality the differential between male/female body weights and the sex ratio were similar in immunized and control groups. There was no evidence that immunization against Y antigen affected the growth and development of male fetuses.

Information-Based Mobile Application to Tackle COVID-19 Circumstances

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) ensures the ability of healthcare professionals by allowing them to remotely access each patient’s personalized and accurate data. The accuracy, as well as the speed of treatments and diagnosis, is greatly improved as well. IoMT also enables healthcare professionals to monitor the status of their patients’ health in real-time. The behavior of people can be recorded with the intent of getting an online diagnosis, thus managing their one’s health is more effective. Tools like sensors and tracking devices, telemedicine, remote patient monitoring (RPM) and also virtual assistance makes these things happen. Perhaps healthcare professionals are mostly benefited by IoMT in their professions. So, in the case of a pandemic (COVID-19), our proposed application can spread the facilities of IoMT among the general people. The main purpose of this application is to make a system that compresses the number of coronavirus affected people by the extent of awareness. People can track data of confirmed, recovered, and fatal cases globally and locally through this app. People can also get information about the nearest COVID-19 hospitals with google map and get their helpline numbers. All these can be very important for Bangladesh, being a developing country. They can easily make doctor appointments through the system. People can get information about plasma &amp; blood donation and they also can donate their blood and plasma by a requesting process. Users' information about their health can be saved in the cloud system from time to time so that a doctor can easily get all the information. So, our proposed app can help to control the COVID-19 pandemic situation and people will be benefited.

The Belgian medical profession, the order of physicians and the sickness funds (1900–1940)

Abstract How a profession is regulated and by whom are generally considered to be crucial questions. In Belgium, the most important regulator of the medical profession is the Order of Physicians. This institution is generally acknowledged to be a cornerstone of the Belgian profession's ‘overwhelming dominance’ and great autonomy. In this article, I will discuss the developments which led to the establishment of the Order of Physicians in 1938. One of the central themes is that in order to understand its establishment fully one has to take into account the ongoing struggle between profession, sickness funds and government as to the position of the profession within the planned obligatory health insurance system. It is likely that the typically Belgian involvement of interest groups and social movements in the political arena, in order to fight off political interference in issues considered to be private ones, facilitated the acceptance and the establishment of the Belgian Order of Physicians in 1938.

Changes in ruminal fermentation in sheep fed either alfalfa hay or grass hay after changing to a high-concentrate diet.

Four rumen-fistulated Merino sheep were used in a crossover design experiment with two 44-day periods each to evaluate the changes in ruminal parameters including enzymatic activities that occur after an abrupt change from a 70:30 forage:concentrate diet (HF) to a 30:70 forage:concentrate diet (HC) when forage was either alfalfa hay (AL) or grass hay (GR). Sheep were fed the diets at a daily rate of 55 g/kg body weight 0.75 . During the first 15 days of each experimental period sheep were fed HF diets, and from day 16 thereafter they received HCAL and HCGR. On days 0, 2, 5, 12, 20 and 28 after diet change, ruminal samples from each sheep were collected 3 h after feeding. There were no differences (P > 0.05) between diets (HCAL and HCGR) in any of the measured variables, with the exception of NH3-N and total short chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations which were greater (P 0.05) from those on day 0. No effect (P > 0.05) of diet change was observed on endoglucanase, exoglucanase and xylanase activities in ruminal fluid on day 2, but activities of all these enzymes increased (P < 0.05) by day 28. Amylase activity increased (P < 0.05) on day 2 for diet HCAL and remained greater (P < 0.05) for the rest of th e trial. For diet HCGR, amylase activity increased (P < 0.05) on day 12 and remained greater through to the end of the trial.

Hair breakage during combing. IV. Brushing and combing hair.

During combing of hair, longer fiber breaks (>2.5 cm) occur principally by impact loading of looped crossover hairs, while short segment breaks (<2.5 cm) occur primarily by end wrapping. Brushing provides breakage similarly but with a higher ratio of long-to-short segment breaks, and the ratio of long-to-short segment breaks (L/S) is a good way to follow these two pathways of breakage under different conditions. For example, bleaching hair, a longer comb stroke, increasing fiber curvature, wet combing versus dry combing, and brushing versus combing all provide for an increase in long segment breaks and this ratio, with the largest effect produced by brushing.

Nonnecrotizing anterior scleritis mimicking orbital inflammatory disease

Background: Anterior scleritis is an uncommon form of ocular inflammation, often associated with coexisting autoimmune disease. With early recognition and aggressive systemic therapy, prognosis for resolution is good. The diagnosis of underlying autoimmune disease involves a multidisciplinary approach. Case report: A 42-year-old African American female presented to the Eye Clinic at the San Francisco Veteran Affairs Medical Center, with a tremendously painful left eye, worse on eye movement, with marked injection of conjunctiva. There was mild swelling of the upper eyelid. Visual acuity was unaffected, but there was a mild red cap desaturation. The posterior segment was unremarkable. The initial differential diagnoses included anterior scleritis and orbital inflammatory disease. Oral steroid treatment was initiated with rapid resolution over a few days. Orbital imaging was unremarkable, and extensive laboratory work-up was positive only for antinuclear antibodies. The patient was diagnosed with idiopathic diffuse, nonnecrotizing anterior scleritis and has been followed for over 5 years without recurrence. The rheumatology clinic monitors the patient closely, as suspicion remains for potential arthralgias including human leukocyte antigen-B27-associated arthritis, lupus-associated arthritis, seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, recurrent juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and scleroderma, based on her constitutional symptoms and clinical presentation, along with a positive anti-nuclear antibody lab result. Conclusion: Untreated anterior scleritis can progress to formation of cataracts, glaucoma, uveitis, corneal melting, and posterior segment disease with significant risk of vision loss. Patients with anterior scleritis must be aggressively treated with systemic anti-inflammatories and monitored for recurrence of sight-threatening or life-threatening complications relating to systemic disease.

Information technology investment and rural bank performance in Ghana: the moderating role of ICT diffusion and financial development

Purpose This study sought to examine the interaction between rural bank performance, information and communication technology (ICT) investment, ICT diffusion and financial development. Design/methodology/approach Data were sourced from the Association of Rural Banks (ARB) Apex and World Development Indicators (WDI) for the period 2014–2020. A total of 122 rural banks were used for this study. The study adopted the two-step system generalized method of moments (SGMM) estimation technique in assessing the interactions among variables. Findings This study found compelling evidence to support the positive effect of ICT investment on banks’ performance (return on asset and net interest margin). Further, ICT diffusion and financial development positively influence banks’ performance. The results show a positive moderating effect exerted by ICT diffusion and financial development on the impact of bank risk (bank stability) and ICT investment on all three performance measures. Originality/value The study focuses on the rural banking sector in the Ghanaian economy, compared to related studies that examine the subject matter for commercial banks. The moderating effects of ICT diffusion and financial development are assessed to guide policy on rural banking development in Ghana.

An Analysis of the Discovery and Elimination Algorithm in the P2P Environment

In the current P2P environment the reliability of the P2P system mainly depends on the connection among the nodes in the overlay network, in which cut vertex poses the major threat. Dysfunction of a few cut vertexes can lead to the disconnection of the overlay network. Aiming at improving the expensive cost in communication of the CAM algorithm, this paper puts forward another cut vertex algorithm of passive mode without extra communication cost. The method can auto determine whether itself is a cut vertex and take measures to eliminate instability which it may cause. It has the advantage of high accuracy, low cost and high adaptability.
