An integrated gaming and simulation architecture for incident management training

The nation's emergency responders need to work in a coordinated, well-planned manner to best mitigate the impact of an emergency incident.They need to be trained and be ready to act in view of the increased security threat.The training has been traditionally provided using live exercises at a great expense.Simulation and gaming systems could provide a wider range of training at a much lower expense.The incident management simulation-based training systems that are available or under development today are typically focused on a macro level sequence of events.A few systems targeted at individual responders are under development using gaming environments.Separate uses of such systems provide disparate experiences to decision makers and individual responders.There is a need to provide a common training experience to these groups for better effectiveness.This paper presents a novel approach integrating gaming and simulation systems for training of decision makers and responders on the same scenarios preparing them to work together as a team.An integrated systems architecture is proposed for this purpose.Major modules in gaming and simulation subsystems are defined and interaction mechanisms established.Advanced visualization, human interaction, data access and management capabilities needed for meeting the training objectives are described.Research and standards issues for implementation of the proposed architecture are discussed.

2006: A Case Study on the Effects of Heterogeneous Soil Moisture on Mesoscale Boundary-Layer Structure

Abstract. The atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) depth was observed by airborne lidar and balloon soundings during the Southern Great Plains 1997 field study (SGP97). This paper is Part I of a two-part case study examining the relationship of surface heterogeneity to observed ABL structure. Part I focuses on observations. During two days (12–13 July 1997) following rain, midday convective ABL depth varied by as much as 1.5 km across 400 km, even with moderate winds. Variability in ABL depth was driven primarily by the spatial vari-ation in surface buoyancy flux as measured from short towers and aircraft within the SGP97 domain. Strong correlation was found between time-integrated buoyancy flux and airborne remotely sensed surface soil moisture for the two case-study days, but only a weak correla-tion was found between surface energy fluxes and vegetation greenness as measured by satel-lite. A simple prognostic one-dimensional ABL model was applied to test to what extent the soil moisture spatial heterogeneity explained the variation in north–south ABL depth across the SGP97 domain. The model was able to better predict mean ABL depth and variations on horizontal scales of approximately 100 km using observed soil moisture instead of con-stant soil moisture.

“A Swarm in July”: Beekeeping Perspectives on the Old English Wið Ymbe Charm

Inscribed in the margins of an eleventh-century manuscript1 of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People and crowded beneath a Latin prayer is a brief bit of advice for beekeepers in the event of a swarm (ymbe), a natural phenomenon in which a substantial portion of an older bee colony migrates en masse with a queen to establish a new colony. The following analysis of this enigmatic text has been inspired largely by three features central to John Miles Foley's vast body of work: interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and comparative research. While the eight lines of alliterative verse that constitute the greater portion of this swarm charm have assured its standing within canonical Old English literature, its insights into traditional apiary practices of Anglo-Saxon England make it equally appropriate subject matter for studies in folklore or even animal science. It is precisely such unlikely intersections that have long served as foci for the transdisciplinary work of John Foley, and it is thus that we now choose it as the subject of analysis for a volume in his honor.2

Iterative Outlier Removal Using Close-and-Compatible Neighbors for Robust Feature Correspondence

Establishing reliable feature correspondence for the image matching is a fundamental problem in computer vision and remote sensing. Currently, many state-of-the-art correspondence selection methods are based on the neighborhood consensus, while the following two problems limit their performance: 1. It is difficult to select the consensus neighbors while preserving spatial smoothness. 2. The location-based consensus constraint is loose and may lead to low precision. In this paper, we propose a simple iterative outlier removal to address these two issues. It searches close-and-compatible neighbors to measure the neighborhood consensus based on the local affine frame, and works by rejecting outliers sequentially and iteratively. The proposed approach is much more robust than state-of-the-art methods when dealing with outliers and large-scale geometric transformation. Numerous experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method.

A reactive-proactive approach for solving dynamic scheduling with time-varying number of Tasks

Any system (whether in the area of finance, manufacturing, administration, etc.) that operates in a dynamic environment needs to be adaptive to changes; it should also anticipate possible adverse events to remain competitive. In our previous research in this area we experimented with one particular approach: Mapping of Task ID for Centroid-Based Adaptation with Random Immigrants (McBAR) to address problems of environmental changes for Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling (RCPS) problem, especially when the latter involves changes in task numbers. However, at that time, McBAR was applied as reactive tool only. In this paper we extend McBAR approach to the RCPS problem in a proactive-reactive way. The system handles also three competing objectives: cost, makespan, and the risk of failure. We have not found any papers that deal with risk on the RCPS problem and utilize the attributes of plans from the past environmental changes. This particular aspect is incorporated in McBAR – experimental results indicate the efficiency of such approach in finding optimal solutions for a current change. In this paper we also analyze, under the effects of environmental dynamics, the variation of risk computed via McBAR and of parameters related to optimization. Further, we compare McBAR to other Evolutionary Algorithm approach in the same problem.

Protein kinase C activation antagonizes melatonin-induced pigment aggregation in Xenopus laevis melanophores.

The pineal hormone, melatonin (5-methoxy N-acetyltryptamine) induces a rapid aggregation of melanin-containing pigment granules in isolated melanophores of Xenopus laevis. Treatment of melanophores with activators of protein kinase C (PKC), including phorbol esters, mezerein and a synthetic diacylglycerol, did not affect pigment granule distribution but did prevent and reverse melatonin-induced pigment aggregation. This effect was blocked by an inhibitor of PKC, Ro 31-8220. The inhibitory effect was not a direct effect on melatonin receptors, per se, as the slow aggregation induced by a high concentration of an inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphothioate, Rp-diastereomer (Rp-cAMPS), was also reversed by PKC activation. Presumably activation of PKC, like PKA activation, stimulates the intracellular machinery involved in the centrifugal translocation of pigment granules along microtubules. alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), like PKC activators, overcame melatonin-induced aggregation but this response was not blocked by the PKC inhibitor, Ro 31-8220. This data indicates that centrifugal translocation (dispersion) of pigment granules in Xenopus melanophores can be triggered by activation of either PKA, as occurs after alpha-MSH treatment, or PKC. The very slow aggregation in response to inhibition of PKA with high concentrations of Rp-cAMPS, suggests that the rapid aggregation in response to melatonin may involve multiple intracellular signals in addition to the documented Gi-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase.

Distinguishing Hate Speech from Sarcasm

In this contemporary world, people use social media tremendously to communicate and have fun with their friends and family. Over the past few years, the ethical use of social media has been exploited and people have started to post comments or tweets expressing their hatred towards other communities. While some people claim them to be sarcastic comments, others feel they are offensive and depict hate speech. This has become a major issue as these are dependent on an individual's perspective. We have constructed a dataset that contains sentences from one of the four classes-" Hate Speech", "Offensive", "Sarcasm", "Normal". The dataset has been evaluated using various state-of-the-art models like Bag of Words, TF-IDF, BERT and ERNIE. The best accuracy was achieved by BERT accounting to around 80%.

Women entrepreneurship issues, challenges and empowerment through self help groups

Entrepreneurship is considered as one of the most important factors contributing to the economic development of the society. Entrepreneurs have been considered instrumental in initiating and sustaining socio-economic development. In India, concept of women entrepreneurship is of recent origin. Women have become aware about their rights and situations and entered in different fields of business. They have established their own successful business empires. They are contributing towards the growth of economy and improvement of their socio- economic conditions. Government of India has given due importance to women empowerment in the country and several schemes has been introduced for the upliftment of women entrepreneurs. Women workforce ratio in the country is increasing due to the increase in the women literacy rate in India.The concept of Self Help Groups (SHGs) is proved to be boon for the rural women in some states of India. It has not only raised their income but also their social status. This paper particularly focuses on various issues pertaining to women entrepreneur’s issues, challenges and future perspective in India.The women in rural areas are showing interest to become entrepreneurs because there is lot of financial facilities from the SHGs. SHGs are self-governed with decisions about production and marketing taken collectively, although the group leader is responsible for identifying potential marketing centers and consumer in formal groups. Informal groups empower rural women to manage rural industries and make decisions collectively for their common economic interests. The encouragement of women towards entrepreneurship leads to the development of the nation as they constitute half of the population. The study reveals the reasons for which they wanted to become entrepreneurs, the problems faced by them in the context of carrying out the entrepreneurial activities and suggestions to overcome the problems.

Detection of reactive canines to Leptospira in Campeche City, Mexico.

Leptospira reactivity in stray and household dogs in Campeche as well as associated risk factors to the seropositivity in household dogs have been herein determined. The survey included 323 dogs, 142 of which were stray dogs and 181 household dogs. Nine Leptospira interrogans serovars were tested by the microagglutination test. Reactivity was 21.3 % (69/323), 17.2 % corresponded to household dogs and 26.7 % to stray dogs. Leptospira Canicola (29 %), Leptospira Hardjo (22.58 %), and Leptospira Icterohaemorrhagiae (16.12 %) were the most common serovars reacting against the serum of household animals, while Leptospira Canicola (15.78 %), Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae (13.15 %), and Leptospira Pomona (7.89 %) were those reacting in stray dogs. Results showed that all dogs have been in contact with different Leptospira serovars and outdoor exposure is the main infection risk factor.

The Mature Avian Leukosis Virus Subgroup A Envelope Glycoprotein Is Metastable, and Refolding Induced by the Synergistic Effects of Receptor Binding and Low pH Is Coupled to Infection

ABSTRACT The spring-loaded model stipulates that influenza virus infection is coupled to the transition of the virus hemagglutinin (HA) from a metastable conformation to a highly stable conformation at low pH. The properties of retrovirus envelope glycoproteins indicate that infection is coupled to an analogous conformational change. As a test of this hypothesis, the requirements for avian leukosis virus A (ALV-A) infection were examined. These studies indicate that, like HA, the conformation of the mature ALV-A envelope glycoprotein is metastable and that infection is linked to refolding at low pH. However, unlike HA, low-pH activation is only observed after priming by receptor. Therefore, ALV-A infection is dependent on the synergistic effects of receptor binding and low pH, suggesting that receptor binding superimposes an additional constraint on activation of ALV-A fusion that proceeds by a mechanism comparable to that of influenza virus.

Dsg2 regulates intestinal epithelial cell adhesion and barrier function via EGFR

Rapidly renewing epithelial tissues such as the intestinal epithelium require precise modulation of intercellular adhesion to preserve barrier integrity during cell division and differentiation. Previously, we have shown that Desmoglein 2 (Dsg2), an adhesion molecule of desmosomes, beside its adhesion function, regulates intestinal barrier properties via p38MAPK signaling. Here we show that Dsg2 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) co‐localize at the apical part of cell‐cell contacts in polarized enterocytes using confocal and stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. DLD1 cells deficient for Dsg2 display EGFR mislocalization and reduced protein levels of activated as well as total EGFR. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed EGFR‐Dsg2 interaction both under cell‐free conditions as well as on living enterocytes, which was confirmed by co‐immunoprecipitation. Moreover, EGFR inhibition reduced cell cohesion and barrier reformation. In line with this, we demonstrate that Src activity is required for barrier formation and localization of EGFR and Dsg2 to cell‐cell contacts. Thus, our study reveals a new mechanism by which Dsg2 regulates barrier properties via EGFR.

Decay of Metastable Nonequilibrium Phases, Enhanced Reaction Rate, and Dynamic Phase Transition in a Model of CO Oxidation with CO Desorption

We present a computational study of the dynamic behavior of a Ziff-Gulari-Barshad model of CO oxidation with CO desorption on a catalytic surface. Our results provide further evidence that below a critical desorption rate the model exhibits a non-equilibrium, first-order phase transition between low and high CO coverage phases. Our kinetic Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the transition process between these phases follows a decay mechanism very similar to the one described by the classic Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami theory of phase transformation by nucleation and growth. We measure the lifetimes of the metastable phases on each side of the transition line and find that they are strongly dependent on the direction of the transformation, i.e., from low to high coverage or vice versa. Inspired by this asymmetry, we introduce a square-wave periodic external forcing, whose two parameters can be tuned to enhance the catalytic activity. At CO desorption rates below the critical value, we find that this far-from-equilibrium system undergoes a dynamic phase transition between a CO_2 productive phase and a nonproductive one. In the space of the parameters of the periodic external forcing, this nonequilibrium phase transition defines a line of critical points. The maximum enhancement rate for the CO_2 production rate occurs near this critical line.

Autophagy contributes to regulation of the hypoxia response during submergence in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>

Autophagy involves massive degradation of intracellular components and functions as a conserved system that helps cells to adapt to adverse conditions. In mammals, hypoxia rapidly stimulates autophagy as a cell survival response. Here, we examine the function of autophagy in the regulation of the plant response to submergence, an abiotic stress that leads to hypoxia and anaerobic respiration in plant cells. In <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>, submergence induces the transcription of autophagy-related (<i>ATG</i>) genes and the formation of autophagosomes. Consistent with this, the autophagy-defective (<i>atg</i>) mutants are hypersensitive to submergence stress and treatment with ethanol, the end product of anaerobic respiration. Upon submergence, the <i>atg</i> mutants have increased levels of transcripts of anaerobic respiration genes (<i>alcohol dehydrogenase 1, ADH1</i> and <i>pyruvate decarboxylase 1, PDC1</i>), but reduced levels of transcripts of other hypoxia- and ethylene-responsive genes. Both submergence and ethanol treatments induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the rosettes of <i>atg</i> mutants more than in the wild type. Moreover, the production of reactive oxygen species by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases is necessary for plant tolerance to submergence and ethanol, submergence-induced expression of <i>ADH1</i> and <i>PDC1</i>, and activation of autophagy. The submergence- and ethanol-sensitive phenotypes in the <i>atg</i> mutants depend on a complete salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway. Together, our findings demonstrate that submergence-induced autophagy functions in the hypoxia response in <i>Arabidopsis</i> by modulating SA-mediated cellular homeostasis.
