EXPLORING NETWORKS AND COMMUNITIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE SUPPORTERS AND CRITICS FACEBOOK PAGES OF THE PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT

This paper provides the current Philippine president’s supporters and critics Facebook pages on social media networks’ description and analyses of their SNSs dataset using NodeXL program. There are three main focuses of the study: (1) implications of the demographic differences of both page networks in terms of age, location and political affiliation, (2) comparative data analyses of the difference in the connected vertices/nodes (e.g., density, diameter, and connected components) of the two opposing networks, and finally, (3) identifying the network actors, the “who” play the roles of the main speakers, mediators and influencers in a social network structure. Results show that the networks’ description for the supporters’ page group has denser connected components compared to the critics’ page. Actors on both networks like the main users, mediators and influencers are media bloggers, social media users and the overseas foreign workers (OFWs). The overall findings of this study showed that the two networks have strong signs of real-life communities in a social networking space

수용자의 탄생과 경험: 독자, 청취자, 시청자

This paper would like to speak about the births of audiences, readerlistener- viewer, the identity discourse and their unique experiences. Who are the media audiences, and what do they keep the specific experimental reality? What flow do they have? Answering to this question, it will be a good way to not only understand the audiences but also examine the modernity closely. Because cognition and experiences of audiences reading, listening, viewing in modern society have intimately connected with social discourse and meaning determination as well as individual ways of life. Firstly, this paper examines the discourse of media audiences in western society keeping with for a long time. Next, we will consider the births, experiences and the meanings of reader, listener, viewer in our society. Periodically, it would be from Japanese Colonial Era, 1910-1945 to 1970s, when the national-modernization project had nearly accomplished and come to the television golden age. Especially, it will be a core period when each medium was firstly emerged and had popularity. This study will ultimately turn toward argue upon the multiple media usability, how the audiences have articulated with these media. Here, we will explain the logic of the audience-cultural capital hierarchy, individualization in multiple media consumption

Thermo-graphic Detection of Surface Cracks

This paper describes a thermal gradient method for infrared thermography to detect surface crack in thin plate. Traditional thermal gradient method uses a deri-vative of thermal field, which may magnify a noise inevitable in experimental thermography induced mainly by emissivity variation of target surface. This study develops a thermal gradient method robust to the noise using a holomorphic function of temperature field in a thin plate under steady-state thermal condition. The holomorphic function of a given temperature field is derived for 2-D heat flow in the plate from Cauchy-Riemann conditions, and applied to define a contour integral that varies according to the existence and strength of a singularity in the domain of integration. The integral calcuated at each point of thermal image eliminates the temperature variation due to heat conduction & suppress the noise, so that its image emphasizes and highlights the singularity such as crack. This feature of holomorphic function is investigated numerically using a thermal field in thin plate that satisfies the Laplace equation representing steady-state heat flow. The simulation results show that the integral image selects and indicates asingularity like crack embedded artificially in the plate very well in a noisy environment

Identification of a novel ubiquitin binding site of STAM1 VHS domain by NMR spectroscopy

AbstractInteraction between the signal-transducing adapter molecule 1 (STAM1) Vps27/Hrs/Stam (VHS) domain and ubiquitin was investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. NMR evidence showed that the structure of STAM1 VHS domain resembles that of other VHS domains, especially the homologous domain of STAM2. We found that the VHS domain binds to ubiquitin via its hydrophobic patch consisting of N-terminus of helix 2 and C-terminus of helix 4 in which Trp26 on helix 2 plays a pivotal role in the binding. The binding between VHS and ubiquitin seems to be very similar to that between ubiquitin associated domain (UBA) and ubiquitin, however, the direction of α-helices involved in the ubiquitin binding is opposite. Here, we propose a novel ubiquitin binding site and the manner of ubiquitin recognition of the STAM1 VHS domain.Structured summaryMINT-6804185:STAM1 (uniprotkb:Q92783) binds (MI:0407) to ubiquitin (uniprotkb:P62988) by nuclear magnetic resonance (MI:0077

Slowly Growing Pulmonary Glandular Papilloma with Air Bronchogram: A Case Report

Pulmonary glandular papilloma is a rare benign neoplasm that has not been studied extensively. This neoplasm presents as a solid nodule, consolidation, or mass, with or without atelectasis, and assessing the correlation between these findings and the risk of malignancy is challenging. A 60-year-old woman presented a solitary pulmonary nodule on screening chest radiography and chest computed tomography (CT). During the subsequent 2-year follow-up, CT showed a progressive increase in nodule size and an air bronchogram, suggesting malignancy. The patient underwent a right upper lobectomy, and the final diagnosis was glandular papilloma. Teaching point: Pulmonary glandular papilloma with growth and an air bronchogram

Metagenome Analysis of Protein Domain Collocation within Cellulase Genes of Goat Rumen Microbes

In this study, protein domains with cellulase activity in goat rumen microbes were investigated using metagenomic and bioinformatic analyses. After the complete genome of goat rumen microbes was obtained using a shotgun sequencing method, 217,892,109 pair reads were filtered, including only those with 70% identity, 100-bp matches, and thresholds below E−10 using METAIDBA. These filtered contigs were assembled and annotated using blastN against the NCBI nucleotide database. As a result, a microbial community structure with 1431 species was analyzed, among which Prevotella ruminicola 23 bacteria and Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus B316 were the dominant groups. In parallel, 201 sequences related with cellulase activities (EC.3.2.1.4) were obtained through blast searches using the enzyme.dat file provided by the NCBI database. After translating the nucleotide sequence into a protein sequence using Interproscan, 28 protein domains with cellulase activity were identified using the HMMER package with threshold E values below 10−5. Cellulase activity protein domain profiling showed that the major protein domains such as lipase GDSL, cellulase, and Glyco hydro 10 were present in bacterial species with strong cellulase activities. Furthermore, correlation plots clearly displayed the strong positive correlation between some protein domain groups, which was indicative of microbial adaption in the goat rumen based on feeding habits. This is the first metagenomic analysis of cellulase activity protein domains using bioinformatics from the goat rumen
