Space pregnancies putting the other in the mother

Science fiction and feminist theory have a lot in common. They are both grounded in contemporary times, but envisions another. This essay looks at how women writers have used science fiction to talk about central themes in feminism, namely motherhood and pregnancy. These two are interesting because they are experiences based in the cis female body. With the assumption that these experiences are part of the Othering process of women in a patriarchal society, how these are portrayed/reflected in science fiction texts become interesting. The essay analyses the progress of the view of motherhood and pregnancy in four novels; Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (originally published 1818) Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland (originally published 1915) Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time (originally published 1976) and Octavia E. Butler's Lilith's Brood (originally published 1987 1989) The historical aspect follows the progression of the feminist movement, namely the suffragist, the second wave feminism of the 70's and the third wave feminism of the 90's. How these books have portrayed motherhood and pregnancy, and how science fiction elements are used, strongly follows the development of the feminist progress.
TaintART: A Practical Multi level Information Flow Tracking System for Android RunTime
Venue: CCS

Mobile operating systems like Android failed to provide sufficient protection on personal data, and privacy leakage becomes a major concern. To understand the security risks and privacy leakage, analysts have to carry out data flow analysis. In 2014, Android upgraded with a fundamentally new design known as Android RunTime (ART) environment in Android 5.0. ART adopts ahead of time compilation strategy and replaces previous virtual machine based Dalvik. Unfortunately, many data flow analysis systems like TaintDroid were designed for the legacy Dalvik environment. This makes data flow analysis of new apps and malware infeasible. We design a multi level information flow tracking system for the new Android system called TaintART. TaintART employs a multi level taint analysis technique to minimize the taint tag storage. Therefore, taint tags can be stored in processor registers to provide efficient taint propagation operations. We also customize the ART compiler to maximize performance gains of the ahead of time compilation optimizations. Based on the general design of TaintART, we also implement a multi level privacy enforcement to prevent sensitive data leakage. We demonstrate that TaintART only incurs less than 15% overheads on a CPU bound microbenchmark and negligible overhead on built in or third party applications. Compared to legacy Dalvik environment in Android 4.4, TaintART achieves about 99.7% faster performance for Java runtime benchmark.

Assessments of the Effectiveness of an Earthquake Emergency Plan Implementation with Hesitant Analytic Hierarchy Process
Venue: Int. J. Inf. Technol. Decis. Mak.

Numerous earthquakes occur throughout the world, and thus, earthquake emergency plan is a significant issue that concerns everyone in the affected areas. However, the absence of an effective, scientific assessments system may lead to a lack of awareness about the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of earthquake emergency plan implementation. This delays the construction of emergency plan and leads to low operational efficiency. In order to improve this situation, this paper aims to efficiently assess the earthquake emergency plan implementation to accelerate the replenishment and the amendment of the earthquake emergency plan. Firstly, we review the existing researches on the earthquake emergency system and some guidelines and plans of earthquake emergency. Secondly, we carefully conduct 30 indicators to assess the effectiveness of earthquake emergency plan implementation in terms of operational mechanism, emergency response, and emergency safeguards. Thirdly, according to the characteristic information obtained from the effectiveness assessments of earthquake emergency plan implementation, and based on the advantages of hesitant fuzzy elements for expressing information, we develop a method for the effectiveness assessments of earthquake emergency plan implementation using hesitant analytic hierarchy process (HAHP) Furthermore, we apply the method to assess the Wenchuan, Yushu and Lushan earthquakes, and also compare our method with the analytic hierarchy process. Based on our analysis, we conclude that the HAHP is highly suitable for assessments of earthquake emergency plan implementation's effectiveness.
Application of Ontology in Emergency Plan Management of Metro Operation

Emergency plans play a key role in the emergency management of metro operation. Well prepared emergency response supported by plans can greatly mitigate the significant impact of metro incidents. However, most emergency plans remain as plain text documents, which make it difficult to conduct efficient administrative work such as plan generation, documentation and maintenance. Operational use of plans such as rapid knowledge retrieval and acquisition cannot be performed as well, affecting emergency training during the preparation process as well as plan review at the scene of the accident. Additionally, the knowledge codified in emergency plans is mostly depicted by texts, which are not vivid and intuitive enough to clearly convey the instructions of response procedures and relative information. In this paper, an ontology based knowledge management method is proposed, and a unified and formalized plan repository is built to facilitate the efficient administrative and operational use of emergency plans. BIM technology is applied to provide realistic visualization of the plan knowledge for better understanding. A prototype of emergency plan training system, which integrates BIM and the ontology based plan repository, has been developed to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method. A case study illustrates the knowledge management process and shows how staff training can benefit from the system.
Optimisation of an emergency plan in gas distribution network operations with Bayesian networks

The focus of this paper is on the development of a predictive emergency plan for operating gas networks in crisis situations (major incident or disaster) The first contribution of this paper is summarised in the first part, which defines the essential elements of an emergency plan and the centre position of reliability in such plan. A Bayesian model is implemented; it allows the estimation of probabilities of valve closure based on system level performance for isolating gas distribution network. Also it allows the prioritisation of revamp work and capacity upgrade actions related to existing gas pipe networks for the sake of safe operations. Finally a case study of a distribution network supplying a city is presented. The paper demonstrates that Bayesian networks allow for the management and the predictive control of gas networks and the simulation of effect of maintenance and investment actions on the performance of isolating system.
Effect of agglomeration on the natural frequencies of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced laminated composite doubly curved shells

This paper aims at investigating the effect of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) agglomeration on the free vibrations of laminated composite doubly curved shells and panels reinforced by CNTs. The great performances of doubly curved structures are joined with the excellent mechanical properties of CNTs. Several laminations schemes and various CNT exponential distributions along the thickness of the structures are considered. Thus, it is evident that the shell dynamic behavior can be affected by many parameters which characterize the reinforcing phase. A widespread parametric study is performed in order to show the natural frequency variation. The general theoretical model for shell structures is based on the so called Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) which allows to consider several Higher order Shear Deformations Theories (HSDTs) In addition, a complete characterization of the mechanical properties of CNTs is presented. The governing equations for the free vibration analysis are solved numerically by means of the well known Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method due to its accuracy, stability and reliability features.

Well Being Scale (EBP for its acronym in Spanish) namely the Scale of Subjective psychological well being, and the test of Self concept Form 5 (AF5 in Spanish) were used as data collection instruments. Results show, firstly, that the percentiles obtained in the subscale of the EBP test are close to the 60th percentile. Furthermore, within the AF5, Physical self concept, Academic labor self concept and Family self concept are around 65th percentile. Is it noted that the Emotional self concept is below the 50th percentile. Secondly, EBP subscale correlated positively with all scales of AF5, being the highest correlations with the Social self concept and Physical self concept. The implications of these results are discussed in the paper.
Aging and Hearing Health: The Life course Approach.
Venue: The Gerontologist

Sensory abilities decline with age. More than 5% of the world's population, approximately 360 million people, have disabling hearing loss. In adults, disabling hearing loss is defined by thresholds greater than 40 dBHL in the better hearing ear.Hearing disability is an important issue in geriatric medicine because it is associated with numerous health issues, including accelerated cognitive decline, depression, increased risk of dementia, poorer balance, falls, hospitalizations, and early mortality. There are also social implications, such as reduced communication function, social isolation, loss of autonomy, impaired driving ability, and financial decline. Furthermore, the onset of hearing loss is gradual and subtle, first affecting the detection of high pitched sounds and with difficulty understanding speech in noisy but not in quiet environments. Consequently, delays in recognizing and seeking help for hearing difficulties are common. Age related hearing loss has no known cure, and technologies (hearing aids, cochlear implants, and assistive devices) improve thresholds but do not restore hearing to normal. Therefore, health care for persons with hearing loss and people within their communication circles requires education and counseling (e.g. increasing knowledge, changing attitudes, and reducing stigma) behavior change (e.g. adapting communication strategies) and environmental modifications (e.g. reducing noise) In this article, we consider the causes, consequences, and magnitude of hearing loss from a life course perspective. We examine the concept of "hearing health," how to achieve it, and implications for policy and practice.
Hearing Impairment Among Noise Exposed Workers United States, 2003 2012.
Venue: MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report

Hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the United States, and is more prevalent than diabetes or cancer (1) Occupational hearing loss, primarily caused by high noise exposure, is the most common U.S. work related illness (2) Approximately 22 million U.S. workers are exposed to hazardous occupational noise (3) CDC compared the prevalence of hearing impairment within nine U.S. industry sectors using 1,413,789 noise exposed worker audiograms from CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Occupational Hearing Loss Surveillance Project (4) CDC estimated the prevalence at six hearing impairment levels, measured in the better ear, and the impact on quality of life expressed as annual disability adjusted life years (DALYs) as defined by the 2013 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study (5) The mining sector had the highest prevalence of workers with any hearing impairment, and with moderate or worse impairment, followed by the construction and manufacturing sectors. Hearing loss prevention, and early detection and intervention to avoid additional hearing loss, are critical to preserve worker quality of life.
Gentamicin Exposure and Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Preterm Infants
Venue: PloS one

To evaluate the impact of gentamicin exposure on sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.  Exposure to gentamicin was determined in infants born between 1993 and 2010 at a gestational age 32 weeks and/or with a birthweight 1500 g, who presented with SNHL during the first 5 years of life. For each case, we selected two controls matched for gender, gestational age, birthweight, and year of birth.  We identified 25 infants affected by SNHL, leading to an incidence of SNHL of 1.58% in our population of VLBW infants. The proportion of infants treated with gentamicin was 76% in the study group and 70% in controls (p 0.78) The total cumulated dose of gentamicin administered did not differ between the study group (median 10.2 mg/kg, Q1 Q3 1.6 13.2) and the control group (median 7.9 mg/kg, Q1 Q3 0 12.8, p 0.47) The median duration of gentamicin treatment was 3 days both in the study group and the control group (p 0.58) Maximum predicted trough serum levels of gentamicin, cumulative area under the curve and gentamicin clearance were not different between cases and controls.  The impact of gentamicin on SNHL can be minimized with treatments of short duration, monitoring of blood levels and dose adjustment.
Cross Modal Re Organization in Clinical Populations with Hearing Loss
Venue: Brain sciences

We review evidence for cross modal cortical re organization in clinical populations with hearing loss. Cross modal plasticity refers to the ability for an intact sensory modality (e.g. vision or somatosensation) to recruit cortical brain regions from a deprived sensory modality (e.g. audition) to carry out sensory processing. We describe evidence for cross modal changes in hearing loss across the age spectrum and across different degrees of hearing impairment, including children with profound, bilateral deafness with cochlear implants, single sided deafness before and after cochlear implantation, and adults with early stage, mild moderate, age related hearing loss. Understanding cross modal plasticity in the context of auditory deprivation, and the potential for reversal of these changes following intervention, may be vital in directing intervention and rehabilitation options for clinical populations with hearing loss.
The origin and evolution of Homo sapiens
Venue: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

If we restrict the use of Homo sapiens in the fossil record to specimens which share a significant number of derived features in the skeleton with extant H. sapiens, the origin of our species would be placed in the African late middle Pleistocene, based on fossils such as Omo Kibish 1, Herto 1 and 2, and the Levantine material from Skhul and Qafzeh. However, genetic data suggest that we and our sister species Homo neanderthalensis shared a last common ancestor in the middle Pleistocene approximately 400 700 ka, which is at least 200 000 years earlier than the species origin indicated from the fossils already mentioned. Thus, it is likely that the African fossil record will document early members of the sapiens lineage showing only some of the derived features of late members of the lineage. On that basis, I argue that human fossils such as those from Jebel Irhoud, Florisbad, Eliye Springs and Omo Kibish 2 do represent early members of the species, but variation across the African later middle Pleistocene/early Middle Stone Age fossils shows that there was not a simple linear progression towards later sapiens morphology, and there was chronological overlap between different 'archaic' and 'modern' morphs. Even in the late Pleistocene within and outside Africa, we find H. sapiens specimens which are clearly outside the range of Holocene members of the species, showing the complexity of recent human evolution. The impact on species recognition of late Pleistocene gene flow between the lineages of modern humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans is also discussed, and finally, I reconsider the nature of the middle Pleistocene ancestor of these lineages, based on recent morphological and genetic data.

Review of in situ process monitoring and in situ metrology for metal additive manufacturing

Lack of assurance of quality with additively manufactured (AM) parts is a key technological barrier that prevents manufacturers from adopting AM technologies, especially for high value applications where component failure cannot be tolerated. Developments in process control have allowed significant enhancement of AM techniques and marked improvements in surface roughness and material properties, along with a reduction in inter build variation and the occurrence of embedded material discontinuities. As a result, the exploitation of AM processes continues to accelerate. Unlike established subtractive processes, where in process monitoring is now commonplace, factory ready AM processes have not yet incorporated monitoring technologies that allow discontinuities to be detected in process. Researchers have investigated new forms of instrumentation and adaptive approaches which, when integrated, will allow further enhancement to the assurance that can be offered when producing AM components. The state of the art with respect to inspection methodologies compatible with AM processes is explored here. Their suitability for the inspection and identification of typical material discontinuities and failure modes is discussed with the intention of identifying new avenues for research and proposing approaches to integration into future generations of AM systems.

Venue: Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing

Peculiarities of additive technologies are considered, and the most typical flaws are listed. The possibility of layer by layer nondestructive testing of parts immediately in the course of additive manufacturing is demonstrated. Based on the review of domestic and international publications, possibilities that are offered by various physical methods of nondestructive evaluation are analyzed and potential of their usage is reviewed.
Cost models of additive manufacturing A literature review

Article history: Received July 4 2016 Received in Revised Format August 16 2016  From the past decades, increasing attention has been paid to the quality level of technological and mechanical properties achieved by the Additive Manufacturing (AM) these two elements have achieved a good performance, and it is possible to compare this with the results achieved by traditional technology. Therefore, the AM maturity is high enough to let industries adopt this technology in a more general production framework as the mechanical manufacturing industrial one is. Since the technological and mechanical properties are also beneficial for the materials produced with AM, the primary objective of this paper is to focus more on managerial facets, such as the cost control of a production environment, where these new technologies are present. This paper aims to analyse the existing literature about the cost models developed specifically for AM from an operations management point of view and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of all models.
Occlusion Robust Face Detection Using Shallow and Deep Proposal Based Faster R CNN
Venue: CCBR

As the first essential step of automatic face analysis, face detection always receives high attention. The performance of current state of the art face detectors cannot fulfill the requirements in real world scenarios especially in the presence of severe occlusions. This paper proposes a novel and effective approach to occlusion robust face detection. It combines two major phases, i.e. proposal generation and classification. In the former, we combine both the proposals given by a coarse to fine shallow pipeline and a Region Proposal Network (RPN) based deep one respectively, to generate a more comprehensive set of candidate regions. In the latter, we further decide whether the regions are faces using a well trained Faster R CNN. Experiments are conducted on the WIDER FACE benchmark, and the results clearly prove the competency of the proposed method at detecting occluded faces.
