    Collective clusterization effects in light heavy ion reactions

    Full text link
    The collective clusterization process, proposed for intermediate mass fragments (IMFs, 4<<A≀\le28, 2<<Z≀\le14) emitted from the hot and rotating compound nuclei formed in low energy reactions, is extended further to include also the emission of light particles (LPs, A≀\le4, Z≀\le2) from the fusion-evaporation residues. Both the LPs and IMFs are treated as the dynamical collective mass motion of preformed clusters through the barrier. Compared to IMFs, LPs are shown to have different characteristics, and the predictions of our, so-called, dynamical cluster-decay model are similar to those of the statistical fission model.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Conferenc

    Prediction of lactate threshold using the modified Conconi test in distance runners

    This study aimed to examine the validity of the modified Conconi test (CT) to predict lactate threshold (LT) during running. Twelve distance runners randomly performed the modified CT and the incremental test in which LT was determined directly by measuring blood lactate (BLa). Mean values of heart rate (HR) and running speed (RS) at heart rate deflection point (HRDP) obtained through the modified CT were compared with those at LT. Subsequently, the runners who showed a HRDP in the modified CT performed a 30-min prolonged exercise test (PET) at a RS corresponding to HRDP. During this test, the kinetics of BLa and HR were analyzed to determine whether a steady state in these variables could be attained. We succeeded in identifying HRDP in nine of our runners, whereas the remaining three runners showed entirely linear HR response. In those nine runners, no significant difference was found between HR and RS at HRDP and those at LT. Significant correlation was found between HR at HRDP and HR at LT (r = 0.84, p = 0.005), but RS at HRDP was not significantly correlated with RS at LT (r = 0.63, p = 0.07). All nine runners were able to complete the PET with steady state conditions being achieved for both BLa and HR. In conclusion, these findings indicate that the modified CT has a potential to be used as an alternative method for assessment of LT in distance runners presenting a HRDP

    Fusing Audio, Textual and Visual Features for Sentiment Analysis of News Videos

    This paper presents a novel approach to perform sentiment analysis of news videos, based on the fusion of audio, textual and visual clues extracted from their contents. The proposed approach aims at contributing to the semiodiscoursive study regarding the construction of the ethos (identity) of this media universe, which has become a central part of the modern-day lives of millions of people. To achieve this goal, we apply state-of-the-art computational methods for (1) automatic emotion recognition from facial expressions, (2) extraction of modulations in the participants' speeches and (3) sentiment analysis from the closed caption associated to the videos of interest. More specifically, we compute features, such as, visual intensities of recognized emotions, field sizes of participants, voicing probability, sound loudness, speech fundamental frequencies and the sentiment scores (polarities) from text sentences in the closed caption. Experimental results with a dataset containing 520 annotated news videos from three Brazilian and one American popular TV newscasts show that our approach achieves an accuracy of up to 84% in the sentiments (tension levels) classification task, thus demonstrating its high potential to be used by media analysts in several applications, especially, in the journalistic domain.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Medi

    Dynamical cluster-decay model for hot and rotating light-mass nuclear systems, applied to low-energy 32^{32}S + 24^{24}Mg →56\to ^{56}Ni reaction

    Full text link
    The dynamical cluster-decay model (DCM) is developed further for the decay of hot and rotating compound nuclei (CN) formed in light heavy-ion reactions. The model is worked out in terms of only one parameter, namely the neck-length parameter, which is related to the total kinetic energy TKE(T) or effective Q-value Qeff(T)Q_{eff}(T) at temperature T of the hot CN, defined in terms of the both the light-particles (LP), with A≀A \leq 4, Z ≀\leq 2, as well as the complex intermediate mass fragments (IMF), with 424 2, is considered as the dynamical collective mass motion of preformed clusters through the barrier. Within the same dynamical model treatment, the LPs are shown to have different characteristics as compared to the IMFs. The systematic variation of the LP emission cross section σLP\sigma_{LP}, and IMF emission cross section σIMF\sigma_{IMF}, calculated on the present DCM match exactly the statistical fission model predictions. It is for the first time that a non-statistical dynamical description is developed for the emission of light-particles from the hot and rotating CN. The model is applied to the decay of 56^{56}Ni formed in the 32^{32}S + 24^{24}Mg reaction at two incident energies Ec.m._{c.m.} = 51.6 and 60.5 MeV. Both the IMFs and average TKEˉ\bar{TKE} spectra are found to compare reasonably nicely with the experimental data, favoring asymmetric mass distributions. The LPs emission cross section is shown to depend strongly on the type of emitted particles and their multiplicities

    Social Interactions vs Revisions, What is important for Promotion in Wikipedia?

    Full text link
    In epistemic community, people are said to be selected on their knowledge contribution to the project (articles, codes, etc.) However, the socialization process is an important factor for inclusion, sustainability as a contributor, and promotion. Finally, what does matter to be promoted? being a good contributor? being a good animator? knowing the boss? We explore this question looking at the process of election for administrator in the English Wikipedia community. We modeled the candidates according to their revisions and/or social attributes. These attributes are used to construct a predictive model of promotion success, based on the candidates's past behavior, computed thanks to a random forest algorithm. Our model combining knowledge contribution variables and social networking variables successfully explain 78% of the results which is better than the former models. It also helps to refine the criterion for election. If the number of knowledge contributions is the most important element, social interactions come close second to explain the election. But being connected with the future peers (the admins) can make the difference between success and failure, making this epistemic community a very social community too

    Sex difference and intra-operative tidal volume: Insights from the LAS VEGAS study

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: One key element of lung-protective ventilation is the use of a low tidal volume (VT). A sex difference in use of low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) has been described in critically ill ICU patients.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether a sex difference in use of LTVV also exists in operating room patients, and if present what factors drive this difference.DESIGN, PATIENTS AND SETTING: This is a posthoc analysis of LAS VEGAS, a 1-week worldwide observational study in adults requiring intra-operative ventilation during general anaesthesia for surgery in 146 hospitals in 29 countries.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Women and men were compared with respect to use of LTVV, defined as VT of 8 ml kg-1 or less predicted bodyweight (PBW). A VT was deemed 'default' if the set VT was a round number. A mediation analysis assessed which factors may explain the sex difference in use of LTVV during intra-operative ventilation.RESULTS: This analysis includes 9864 patients, of whom 5425 (55%) were women. A default VT was often set, both in women and men; mode VT was 500 ml. Median [IQR] VT was higher in women than in men (8.6 [7.7 to 9.6] vs. 7.6 [6.8 to 8.4] ml kg-1 PBW, P &lt; 0.001). Compared with men, women were twice as likely not to receive LTVV [68.8 vs. 36.0%; relative risk ratio 2.1 (95% CI 1.9 to 2.1), P &lt; 0.001]. In the mediation analysis, patients' height and actual body weight (ABW) explained 81 and 18% of the sex difference in use of LTVV, respectively; it was not explained by the use of a default VT.CONCLUSION: In this worldwide cohort of patients receiving intra-operative ventilation during general anaesthesia for surgery, women received a higher VT than men during intra-operative ventilation. The risk for a female not to receive LTVV during surgery was double that of males. Height and ABW were the two mediators of the sex difference in use of LTVV.TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT01601223

    The Case of Farmers, National, Regional and International Agencies Partnering for the Management of the Coffee Berry in Jamaica

    West Indies Campus, Mona, Kingston 7, Jamaica ABSTARCT: The Jamaican coffee industry suffers estimated annual losses of $US 2-3M because of damage to coffee beans by the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari. Due to pressure from the international community, the Coffee Industry Board (CIB) is being forced to find alternatives to widely-used chemical control (involving application of an organochlorine insecticide, endosulfan) of the pest. In its effort to find alternatives, CIB initiated discussions with the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) Jamaica to implement the "Biological control of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei Ferr. in Jamaica" project. Inputs in areas of finance, technical expertise, starting material, research and training were deemed necessary the successful implementation of this project. This was facilitated by strengthening already-existing partnerships. CIB provided financial support for the work to be carried out by CARDI Jamaica. The technical expertise was provided locally through the University of the West Indies (UWI), and internationally through PROMECAFE, a Latin American organization to which Jamaica belongs. PROMECAFE also provided stock cultures to begin rearing of the parasitoids in Jamaica. Field research was facilitated on coffee farms through cooperation of coffee farmers and CIB. Aspects of the laboratory research were conducted by UWI students for their final year research project course. The success of this project and its transformation to a national programme is dependent on stakeholders and interest groups being sensitized to the programme and trained in biological control and parasitoid rearing procedures. This was achieved through a partnership with the Rural Agricultural Development Authority, UWI, CIB and other members of the coffee industry. The partnerships that were strengthened during this project resulted in the successful development and implementation of the biological control of the CBB project. Three parasitoids were introduced and successfully reared in Jamaica, released in the field and their establishment confirmed. Rural rearing facilities have been established and over 110 Jamaicans trained/ sensitized about CBB biological control. It is expected that these fortified partnerships will help to ensure the sustainability of biological control as an integral component of an integrated approach to the management of CBB in Jamaica
