Language Selective and Domain General Regions Lie Side by Side within Broca's Area
Venue: Current Biology
Year: 2012

In 1861, Paul Broca stood up before the Anthropological Society of Paris and announced that the left frontal lobe was the seat of speech. Ever since, Broca's eponymous brain region has served as a primary battleground for one of the central debates in the science of the mind and brain: Is human cognition produced by highly specialized brain regions, each conducting a specific mental process, or instead by more general purpose brain mechanisms, each broadly engaged in a wide range of cognitive tasks? For Broca's area, the debate focuses on specialization for language versus domain general functions such as hierarchical structure building (e.g. [1, 2] aspects of action processing (e.g.  working memory (e.g. [4] or cognitive control (e.g. [5 7] Here, using single subject fMRI, we find that both ideas are right: Broca's area contains two sets of subregions lying side by side, one quite specifically engaged in language processing, surrounded by another that is broadly engaged across a wide variety of tasks and content domains.
Bay cavity noise for full scale nose landing gear: A comparison between experimental and numerical results
Year: 2018

This paper presents results obtained from the wind tunnel testing of a highly detailed full scale nose landing gear model of a regional aircraft. The full wheel bay, doors and a significant part of the fuselage are included in the model. The emphasis of this paper is on wheel bay cavity noise and its potential contribution to the far field at approach conditions and at M 0.2 A numerical analysis allows the pressure field in the wheel bay to be studied identifying the frequencies at which the Helmholtz resonance and the 3 D standing wave duct modes are excited by instabilities in the bay opening shear layer. Experimental results agree with those predicted, with the empty wheel bay radiating tones of up to 12 dB at the Helmholtz resonance, at two duct modes as well as at interaction tones between them. The Rossiter equation is successfully used to explain fluid resonant lock on between the shear layer instability modes and the excited resonant modes as a function of tunnel velocity. However, when the full landing gear and doors are installed into the empty bay model, these bay tones no longer radiate to the far field. It is concluded that this is due to disruption of the shear layer by this particular nose landing gear configuration whose leg is centrally located and whose drag and side stays occupy a large area of the wheel bay opening.
Development and optimization of an integrated energy network with centralized and decentralized energy systems using mathematical modelling approach
Venue: Energy
Year: 2019

Decentralized energy generation (DEG) system which characterizes local power generation and utilization are recently getting more attention in energy system planning and implementation because it produces cleaner energy from renewable resources and is capable to avoid significant energy losses during the power transfer from the centralized power plants. These DEGs are however scattered in locations and have intermittent power supply, making it difficult to self sustain. In this study, a novel integrated energy system consisting of multiple DEGs connected to the existing CEG is proposed. New aspects that are included in the model include the distribution and transmission losses as well as impact of operating load on the heat rate of power plants. Energy storage system were also modelled to operate within the DEG and CEG network. Through a case study demonstration, the capacities of the integrated system were optimized using superstructure based mixed integer non linear programming (MINLP) mathematical modelling. The system was also optimized based on economic and energy efficiency to study the effects and trade off between the two parameters. The results revealed that the optimal system can be obtained with levelized cost of electricity of MYR 0.44/kWh. The result also revealed that biomass and wind energy favours industrial users.
Influence of Ultra High Hydrostatic Pressurizing Brown Rice on Cognitive Functions and Mental Health of Elderly Japanese Individuals: A 2 Year Randomized and Controlled Trial.
Venue: Journal of nutritional science and vitaminology
Year: 2019

Brown rice contains many ingredients that might protect against cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. However, brown rice is very hard, difficult to cook, and is poorly digested; thus, it is difficult to eat long term. To solve these problems, ultra high hydrostatic pressurizing brown rice (UHHPBR) was prepared. We investigated the effects of dietary UHHPBR administration for 24 mo on cognitive function and mental health in the elderly. Healthy elderly participants (n=52) were randomized into UHHPBR and polished white rice (WR) groups. The UHHPBR group consumed 100 g of UHHPBR per day for 24 mo and the WR group consumed white rice. At baseline, and after 12 and 24 mo, cognitive functions were assessed using the Revised Hasegawa's Dementia Scale, Mini Mental State Examination, Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and the Cognitive Assessment for Dementia, iPad version (CADi) Mental health condition was also assessed using the Apathy Scale and the Zung Self Rating Depression Scale, and serum biochemical parameters were determined. From baseline to month 24, the mean change in the FAB sub item 1 scores was higher in the UHHPBR group compared to the WR group. Furthermore, apathy scores decreased, as well as the time required to answer all questions of the CADi, and plasma epinephrine levels increased. These results indicate that a 2 y oral consumption of UHHPBR increases information processing speed (as a measure of cognitive function) and improves apathy in the elderly, suggesting a protective effect of UHHPBR administration against age related decline in brain cognition and motivation.
Eight microsatellite loci in Clark's anemonefish, Amphiprion clarkii
Year: 2007

AbstractTo determine the genetic relationship between different colour morphs (orange and blackmorphs) of Clark's anemonefish Amphiprion clarkii in Taiwan, we isolated eight poly morphic microsatellite loci. A large number of alleles (range, 6 30) and high levels ofobserved heterozygosity (range, 0.1231 0.8358) were resolved in 71 individuals from twopopulations, indicating that these markers should be useful in assessing the relationshipbetween the two colour morphs of A. clarkii Keywords Amphiprion clarkii anemonefish, microsatellites Received 21 January 2007; revision accepted 4 April 2007 The colouration pattern of tropical reef fish has often beenused for taxonomic purposes.

Effectiveness of Acupuncture for Alzheimer's Disease: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta analysis
Venue: Current Medical Science
Year: 2019

SummaryAcupuncture has reportedly improved memory and cognitive impairment in both animal and clinical studies. It may be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) The purpose of this meta analysis was to review the effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of AD. Eight databases were searched for articles published up to and including July 2017, and 13 studies fulfilling the inclusion criteria were identified. The main outcomes assessed were clinical efficacy rate, Mini Mental State Examination score, Ability of Daily Living Scale score, Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale Cognition score, Hasegawa's Dementia Scale (HDS) score, and adverse events. The methodological quality of the articles was assessed using Cochrane's risk of bias. All the studies compared the efficacy of acupuncture with that of medication, and were published in Chinese journals. Meta analysis revealed that acupuncture yielded positive results as determined via all the indexes scored except the HDS (95% CI 0.26 to 0.90, Z=0.35, P=0.73) Only one of the studies reported adverse events associated with acupuncture and medication. The rate of adverse events in the medication group was 13% In most of the studies assessed in the current meta analysis, acupuncture alone was better than conventional western medicines for the treatment of AD.
Mechanisms of DNA damage, repair, and mutagenesis
Venue: Environmental and molecular mutagenesis
Year: 2017

Living organisms are continuously exposed to a myriad of DNA damaging agents that can impact health and modulate disease states. However, robust DNA repair and damage bypass mechanisms faithfully protect the DNA by either removing or tolerating the damage to ensure an overall survival. Deviations in this fine tuning are known to destabilize cellular metabolic homeostasis, as exemplified in diverse cancers where disruption or deregulation of DNA repair pathways results in genome instability. Because routinely used biological, physical and chemical agents impact human health, testing their genotoxicity and regulating their use have become important. In this introductory review, we will delineate mechanisms of DNA damage and the counteracting repair/tolerance pathways to provide insights into the molecular basis of genotoxicity in cells that lays the foundation for subsequent articles in this issue.  2017.
Macroeconomics fluctuations and its impact on musharaka financing
Year: 2020

This study aims to analyze the effect of the movement of macroeconomic variables on financing using the musharaka contract on Islamic banks. This study consists of sharia commercial banks and sharia business units using monthly data from January 2004 to December 2019. This study uses Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to answer the research objectives. All variables tested have an influence on financing using the musharaka contract. Financing using the musharaka contract responds negatively to movements in the exchange rate and interest rates while inflation responds positively and negatively. Islamic banking needs to prepare more reserve funds in the face of such movements before achieving stability. The musharaka contract financing itself dominates the forecasting then followed by interest rates, inflation, and exchange rates. Therefore, Islamic banking needs to prepare a reserve fund in the face of these shocks before achieving stability.  DOI https:/doi.org/10.26905/jkdp.v24i2.4061
Depth Image Super Resolution for 3D Reconstruction of Oil Reflnery Buildings
Venue: Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils
Year: 2019

Time of Flight (ToF) camera can collect the depth data of dynamic scene surface in real time, which has been applied to 3D reconstruction of refinery buildings. However; due to the limitations of sensor hardware, the resolution of the depth image obtained is very low, so it cannot meet the requirements of dense depth of scene in practical applications such as 3D reconstruction. Therefore, it is necessary to make a breakthrough in software and design a good algorithm to improve the resolution of depth image. We propose of an algorithm of depth image super resolution by using fusion of multiple progressive convolution neural networks, which uses a context based network fusion framework to fuse multiple different progressive networks, so as to improve individual network performance and efficiency while maintaining the simplicity of network training. Finally, we have carried out experiments on the public data set, and the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has reached or even exceeded the most advanced algorithms at present.
From the basti to the 'house' Socio spatial readings of housing policy in India
Year: 2017

In June 2015, the Government of India approved a national housing program called the Prime Minster's Awas Yojana (PMAY; Prime Minister's Housing Plan) the latest in a series of 'urban missions' that have seen the urban emerge as an object for policy intervention in a country long rurally imagined. The emergence of these missions has necessitated the construction of a new urban grammar. Concepts, categories and classifications have sought to define, delineate and measure different aspects of the urban landscape so that different modes of practice and intervention may emerge. This article reads this grammar. It does so not to assess policy through its design, efficacy or feasibility, but to argue that policies, at least in part, attempt to create their own objects. A policy is thus both a product and an agent of contemporary politics, simultaneously instrumental and generative, acting as a means to an end but also an end unto itself. It is, in many ways, as much a site of the construction of meaning as it is the allocation of resources. This article looks at housing policy in the Indian city from a particular site: auto constructed neighborhoods in the Indian city referred to here as the basti in contra distinction to the 'slum' In doing so, it offers a socio spatial reading of these settlements along three lines: transversality, transparency and opacity. It then reads the proposed new national housing policy against these spatialities and argues that the policy fundamentally misrecognizes 'housing' in the Indian city.
Efficient Reuse of Structured and Unstructured Resources for Ontology Population
Venue: LREC
Year: 2014

We study the problem of ontology population for a domain ontology and present solutions based on semi automatic techniques. A domain ontology for an organization, often consists of classes whose instances are either specific to, or independent of the organization. E.g. in an academic domain ontology, classes like Professor, Department could be organization (university) specific, while Conference, Programming languages are organization independent. This distinction allows us to leverage data sources both within the organization and those in the Internet to extract entities and populate an ontology. We propose techniques that build on those for open domain IE. Together with user input, we show through comprehensive evaluation, how these semi automatic techniques achieve high precision. We experimented with the academic domain and built an ontology comprising of over 220 classes. Intranet documents from five universities formed our organization specific corpora and we used open domain knowledge bases like Wikipedia, Linked Open Data, and web pages from the Internet as the organization independent data sources. The populated ontology that we built for one of the universities comprised of over 75,000 instances. We adhere to the semantic web standards and tools and make the resources available in the OWL format. These could be useful for applications such as information extraction, text annotation, and information retrieval.
Protean and boundaryless career attitudes and organizational commitment: The effects of perceived supervisor support
Year: 2012

Despite the traditional sentiment that protean and boundaryless career attitudes indicate a decline in organizational commitment, little empirical evidence is available. The present study examined the relation of protean and boundaryless career attitudes to organizational commitment and whether the perceived supervisor support moderated these relationships. The results based on data from 380 employees demonstrate that organizational mobility preference is negatively related to all three dimensions of organizational commitment. Self directed career management is positively related to affective and normative commitment and negatively related to continuance commitment, while values driven career orientation is negatively related to normative commitment. Moreover, there is no significant evidence provided for a moderating effect of perceived supervisor support on the relationships between protean and boundaryless career attitudes and organizational commitment. Perceived supervisor support has only a main effect on affective and normative commitment.
MicroRNAs as Modulators of Tumor Metabolism, Microenvironment, and Immune Response in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Venue: Journal of hepatocellular carcinoma
Year: 2021

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer related mortality. Molecular heterogeneity and absence of biomarkers helping patient allocation to the best therapeutic option contribute to poor prognosis in advanced stages. MicroRNAs' (miRNAs) deregulated expression contributes to tumor development and progression and influences drug resistance in HCC. Accordingly, miRNAs have been extensively investigated as both biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The diagnostic and prognostic roles of circulating miRNAs have been ascertained, though with some inconsistencies across studies. From a therapeutic perspective, miRNA based approaches demonstrated safety profiles and antitumor efficacy in HCC animal models. Nevertheless, caution should be used when transferring preclinical findings to the clinic, due to possible molecular inconsistency between animal models and the heterogeneous patterns of human diseases. A wealth of information is offered by preclinical studies exploring the mechanisms driving miRNAs' aberrant expression, the molecular cascades triggered by miRNAs and the corresponding phenotypic changes. Ex vivo analyses confirmed these results, further shedding light on the intricacy of the human disease often overcoming pre clinical models. This complexity seems to be ascribed to the intrinsic heterogeneity of HCC, to different risk factors driving its development, as well as to changes across stages and previous treatments. Preliminary findings suggest that miRNAs associated with specific risk factors might be more informative in defined patients' subgroups. The first issue to be considered when trying to envisage a possible translational perspective is the molecular context that often drives different miRNA functions, as clearly evidenced by "dual" miRNAs. Concerning the possible roles of miRNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets, we will focus on miRNAs' involvement in metabolic pathways and in the modulation of tumor microenvironment, to support their exploitation in defined contexts.
Eportfolio Adoption and Implementation in a Multiple Campus University Environment a Reflection on Opportunities and Challenges Emerging When Engaging Academic Staff and Students in Adoption of Eportfolio Technologies Implemented in Learning and Teaching at Australian Catholic University
Year: 2014

Eportfolio is a concept and practice that provides creative opportunities using technology for profiling a person's achievements, career aspirations and contribution to learning and teaching in their academic institution and professions  Our experiences at Australian Catholic University (ACU) indicated that adoption and implementation of Eportfolio technology in a multiple campus environment posed significant challenges when switching from a pilot to a university preferred hosting service product. Staff and student artefact profiling using an Eportfolio hosting system in a decentralised university environment identified a different interpretation of the University vision, pedagogy, expected usage and support culminating in change management implementation issues. The aim of our paper is to consider and accommodate feedback from the global community to inform new approaches and methods that could be explored to streamline and improve communication, change management and adoption of new technologies in our context.
Motion Estimation in Occupancy Grid Maps in Stationary Settings Using Recurrent Neural Networks
Venue: 2020 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
Year: 2020

In this work, we tackle the problem of modeling the vehicle environment as dynamic occupancy grid map in complex urban scenarios using recurrent neural networks. Dynamic occupancy grid maps represent the scene in a bird's eye view, where each grid cell contains the occupancy prob ability and the two dimensional velocity. As input data, our approach relies on measurement grid maps, which contain occupancy probabilities, generated with lidar measurements. Given this configuration, we propose a recurrent neural net work architecture to predict a dynamic occupancy grid map, i.e. filtered occupancy and velocity of each cell, by using a sequence of measurement grid maps. Our network architecture contains convolutional long short term memories in order to sequentially process the input, makes use of spatial context, and captures motion. In the evaluation, we quantify improvements in estimating the velocity of braking and turning vehicles compared to the state of the art. Additionally, we demonstrate that our approach provides more consistent velocity estimates for dynamic objects, as well as, less erroneous velocity estimates in static area.
Body composition measurements and overall survival in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy: Analysis from SWOG S1505.
Year: 2021

4131  Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity have been associated with overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with borderline resectable and advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) but little is known about the effect of body composition on OS in pts with resectable PDA. We examined the relationship between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue measurements on baseline computed tomography (CT) and OS of pts with resectable PDA in a secondary analysis of SWOG S1505 (NCT02562716)  SWOG S1505 enrolled pts with resectable PDA who were randomized to receive neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine nab paclitaxel, followed by surgical resection. Baseline axial CT images at the L3 level were analyzed with externally validated software and measurements were recorded for skeletal muscle area (SMA) density (SMD) and index (SMI) visceral adipose tissue area (VATA) and density (VATD) and subcutaneous adipose tissue area (SATA) and density (SATD) Sarcopenia was defined as SMI 52 cm2/m2 for men and 39 cm2/m2 for women; sarcopenic obesity was defined as sarcopenia and a body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2. The relationships between CT metrics and OS were analyzed using Cox regression models, with 95% CI. Statistical significance was defined as p 0.05.  Of 98 pts with available baseline abdominal CT, 8 were excluded for scan quality, resulting in 90 evaluable cases: 51 men (57% 39 women (43% mean age, 63.2 years, SD 8.5; mean BMI, 29.3 kg/m2, SD 6.4; 80 (89% White, 6 (7% Black, and 4 (4% unknown. Sarcopenia was present in 32 (36% and sarcopenic obesity in 10 (11% patients. Univariable analyses for the variables of interest indicated VATA (HR 1.24; 0.97 1.60; p 0.09) and SMD (HR 0.75; 0.57 0.98; p 0.04) were associated with OS. Analyses adjusted for sex, race, age, BMI, performance score, contrast use, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity showed VATA was associated with OS (HR 1.58; 1.0 2.51; p 0.05) No significant difference in median OS was observed between pts with vs. without sarcopenia (OS 23.6 [19.3 NA] vs. 27.9 months [18.6 NA] respectively) Pts with vs. without sarcopenic obesity had lower median OS: 18.6 (14.7 NA) vs. 25.1 (10.5 46.0) months, respectively, but this difference was not statistically significant (HR 1.90, 95%CI 0.81 4.47, p 0.14)  This is one of the first studies to systematically evaluate body composition parameters in a prospective trial of patients with resectable PDA who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We found that visceral fat (VATA) is a prognostic marker in this population, but that sarcopenia may not be predictive in early PDA. Further studies to define the impact of longitudinal changes in body composition on individual outcomes may provide greater precision in predicting OS for subsets of pts with pancreatic cancer.
