Full textAbstract:
Since the results from Semantic Web search engines are highly structured XML documents, they cannot be efficiently visualized with traditional explorers. Therefore, the Semantic Web calls for a new generation of search query visualizers that can rely on document metadata. This paper introduces such a visualization system called WebContent Visualizer that is used to display and browse search engine results. The visualization is organized into three levels: (1) Carousels contain documents with the same ranking, (2) carousels are piled into stacks, one for each date, and (3) these stacks are organized along a meta-carousel to display the results for several dates. Carousel stacks are piles of local carousels with increasing radii to visualize the ranks of classes. For document comparison, colored links connect documents between neighboring classes on the basis of shared entities. Based on these techniques, the interface is made of three collaborative components: an inspector window, a visualization panel, and a detailed dialog component. With this architecture, the system is intended to offer an efficient way to explore the results returned by Semantic Web search engines.

Full textAbstract:
Chronic sensitization to serotonin 1A and 7 receptors agonist 8-OH-DPAT induces compulsive checking and perseverative behavior. As such, it has been used to model obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)-like behavior in mice and rats. In this study, we tested spatial learning in the 8-OH-DPAT model of OCD and the effect of co-administration of memantine and riluzole—glutamate-modulating agents that have been shown to be effective in several clinical trials. Rats were tested in the active place avoidance task in the Carousel maze, where they learned to avoid the visually imperceptible shock sector. All rats were subcutaneously injected with 8-OH-DPAT (0.25 mg/kg) or saline (control group) during habituation. During acquisition, they were pretreated with riluzole (1 mg/kg), memantine (1 mg/kg), or saline solution 30 min before each session and injected with 8-OH-DPAT (“OH” groups) or saline (“saline” groups) right before the experiment. We found that repeated application of 8-OH-DPAT during both habituation and acquisition significantly increased locomotion, but it impaired the ability to avoid the shock sector. However, the application of 8-OH-DPAT in habituation had no impact on the learning process if discontinued in acquisition. Similarly, memantine and riluzole did not affect the measured parameters in the “saline” groups, but in the “OH” groups, they significantly increased locomotion. In addition, riluzole increased the number of entrances and decreased the maximum time avoided of the shock sector. We conclude that monotherapy with glutamate-modulating agents does not reduce but exacerbates cognitive symptoms in the animal model of OCD.

Full textAbstract:
Static sediment traps have been successfully used to examine the processes of particle flux and resuspension in large lakes and coastal systems. Although the traps themselves are inexpensive, the deployment and retrieval of them is costly, which restricts both the quantity and frequency of samples. To overcome this, a programmable sequencing sediment trap was designed and tested for use in large lakes and coastal systems. Sediment is collected into a carousel of 23 standard 60 ml (Nalgene™) polyethylene sample bottles. The sequencing design incorporates an electric motor and paddle to rotate the carousel so that one sample bottle at a time is exposed according to a preprogrammed schedule. These traps incorporate a cylindrical design with a 20 cm collection opening and an 8:1 aspect ratio. The micro-controller monitors the operation and records operational parameters allowing corifirmation of the exposure time of each bottle. Several field tests were conducted to verify the precision and uniformity of the sediment collection. Impmvements made over the 10 years of deployment experience and field testing have resulted in a very reliable and low-cost instrument.

The article covers issues related to the study of physical and mechanical characteristics of bulk materials, namely the coefficients of external friction in static and dynamic modes. The program, methodology and results of research on the practical study of external friction coefficients of typical agricultural grain products by the surfaces made of materials typical for the working bodies of production machines, using an innovative carousel-type device, are presented. As a result of research, it was found that in the range of linear speeds from 0 to 1.75 m/s, there is a change in the friction coefficients, which has a nonlinear character.

Abstract A self-contained light-scattering accessory carousel has been developed for the Abbott TDx fluorescence polarization analyzer, extending the instrument's capabilities to nephelometric methods of analysis, including assays for specific proteins by immunoprecipitation: IgG, IgA, IgM, and transferrin. The scattered light from a green-light-emitting diode (peak wavelength 565 nm) is measured at an angle of 37.5 degrees by the existing optical detection system of the TDx analyzer without modification of the instrument. Measurements are made at quasi-equilibrium, with sample blank correction. No sample pretreatment is required, and antigen-excess is checked automatically. CVs range from 3 to 6% (within-run) and 7 to 9%. (total). Calibration curves may be stored for at least two weeks. A nephelometric method for monitoring chromogenic reactions in the green wavelength region is also described. This method--Scattered Energy Attenuation (SEA)--has been used in preliminary experiments to measure calcium, total protein, iron, and bilirubin.

Дана характеристика коров-первотелок (n=193) по интенсивности молоковыведения и проведена оценка их индивидуальных особенностей молокоотдачи при доении на установке «Карусель». Регистрация параметров доения осуществлялась с помощью измерительной системы «Dairy Plan». Для изучения влияния разового удоя на характер взаимосвязи между показателями молоковыведения были сделаны 2 выборки по 30 голов в зависимости от колебаний разового удоя. Во второй выборке в зависимости от величины средней интенсивности молоковыведения исследуемые первотелки были разделены на 3 группы. При их характеристике по средней интенсивности молоковыведения выделены группы животных, различающихся по величине разового удоя. Наибольший разовый удой отмечен у первотелок с самой высокой интенсивностью молоковыведения. Показано влияние разового удоя на уровень взаимосвязи между средней интенсивностью молоковыведения и продолжительностью доения. Анализ параметров молоковыведения группы с узким лимитом колебаний разового удоя позволил выделить первотелок в зависимости от индивидуальных особенностей молокоотдачи и показал очень тесную зависимость (r=-0,95; P<0,001) между средней интенсивностью молоковыведения и продолжительностью доения. Из двух параметров: средней интенсивности молоковыведения и продолжительности доения для оценки индивидуальных особенностей молокоотдачи коров рекомендуется использовать величину средней интенсивности молоковыведения. Оценка и отбор первотелок с высокой интенсивностью молоковыведения будет способствовать увеличению молочной продуктивности стада. The work gives a characteristic of first-calf cows (n=193) by the intensity of milk removal and an evaluation of their individual milk removal characteristics during milking at the Carousel installation. Recording milking parameters was done by means of measuring unit Dairy Plan. To study the effect of one-time milk yield on the interrelation between milk removal parameters, two groups were made depending on the limit of fluctuations in one-time milk yield (30 cows each). In the second group, the first-calf cows studied were divided into three groups depending on the duration of milking. When characterizing first-calf cows by average intensity of milk excretion, groups of animals were distinguished that differ in the value of one-time milk yields. The highest one-time milk yield was shown in first-calf cows with the highest milk removal intensity. There has been shown the effect of one-time milk yield on the level of the relationship between the duration of milking and the average intensity of milk removal. An analysis of the milk production parameters of the group with a narrow limit of fluctuations in the one-time milk yield allowed us to divide first-calf cows depending on the individual characteristics of milk yield and showed a very close relationship (r=-0.95; P<0.001) between the average intensity of milk removal and the duration of milking. Of the two parameters of milking: the average intensity of milk removal and the duration of milking, it is recommended to use the value of the average intensity of milk removal to assess the individual characteristics of milk production in cows. The evaluation and selection of first-calf cows with a high intensity of milk removal will contribute to an increase in the milk production of the herd.

The study aimed at assessing service quality (SQ) of Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA); the sole national air transporter in Saudi Arabia. Considering the SERVQUAL model developed by Parasuraman et al. (1985), the study used a developed scale dedicated to Airlines industry. The nine dimensions scale “ASQUAL” included: declaration practices, planning practices, front offices procedures, technological self-processes, crew practices, operational procedures, equipping processes, hospitality practices, and warranty procedures. Among those dimensions, this study focused on the ASQUAL sixth dimension: operational procedures. For this purpose, 502 questionnaires were collected and analyzed from different gender, passengers classes, educational levels, and ages. With its Eight factors, the operational procedures dimension used in this study and revealed that the passengers were in general unsatisfied about the quality of the operational procedures services (OPSQ) provided by SAUDIA. The measured factors were: Waiting Time (Counters Queue), Frequent Announcements (Final Boarding & Pre-flight), On-Time (Flight Departure), Waiting Time (Baggage Arrival). The other remaining factors were: Announcement (Guidance to Specific Baggage Carousel), Safety (Delivered Baggage), Announcement (Replacement for Delayed Flight), and Pre-announcement (Replacement for Canceled Flight / 7+ Days Prior). The study showed that there -at least- two operational services were unoffered by SAUDIA. The contributions of this study to the existent literature in services quality are assessed together with the contributions made to the air transport industry. The limitations of the study discussed, the recommendations addressed, and the potential for future research in this filed indicated.

Full textAbstract:
With an increased dataset obtained during the Run-2 of the LHC at CERN, the even larger forthcoming Run-3 data and the expected increase of the dataset by more than one order of magnitude for the HL-LHC, the ATLAS experiment is reaching the limits of the current data production model in terms of disk storage resources. The anticipated availability of an improved fast simulation will enable ATLAS to produce significantly larger Monte Carlo samples with the available CPU, which will then be limited by insufficient disk resources. The ATLAS Analysis Model Study Group for Run-3 was setup at the end of Run-2. Its tasks have been to analyse the efficiency and suitability of the current analysis model and to propose significant improvements. The group has considered options allowing ATLAS to save, for the same sample of data and simulated events, at least 30% disk space overall, and has given recommendations on how significantly larger savings could be realised for the HL-LHC. Furthermore, suggestions were made to harmonise the current stage of analysis across the collaboration. The group has now completed its work: key recommendations will be the new small sized analysis formats DAOD_PHYS and DAOD_PHYSLITE and the increased usage of a tape carousel mode in the centralised production of these formats. This proceeding reviews the recommended ATLAS analysis model for Run-3 and the status of its implementation. It also provides an outlook to the HL-LHC analysis.

Forty-one cultivars of triploid and diploid watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) were grown at Lane, Oklahoma in 2003. Seeds were placed in Jiffy-9 pellets in a greenhouse on 21 May. Fields were prepared with raised beds 1 m wide covered with black plastic. Plots were 3 m wide by 15 m long, with 4 replications, arranged as a randomized complete block. Seedlings were transplanted to the field on 4 June. From 4–9 June, rainfall occurred 5 days. Maximum soil temperatures at 5 cm, under bare soil, from 1–9 June were 34, 34, 35, 26, 22, 26, 31, 29, and 32 °C, respectively. On 9 June, 84% of the seedlings were dead. Lesions were observed on the roots and stems and isolations were made from symptomatic tissues. The predominant pathogen isolated from the seedlings was Pythium aphanidermatum. Some of the cultivars appear to have some degree of resistance to P. aphanidermatum. Mortality among the cultivars, averaged across all replications, ranged from 33% to 100%. The cultivars with the lowest mortality were “Tri-X Carousel” (33%), `Sunny' (40%), `WT-02-31' (53%), `Ole' (58%), and `Tri-X Palomar' (68%). New seeds were seeded in the greenhouse on 16 June, and transplanted to the field on June 30. The replacement seedlings were planted in the same field, in the same location as the previous plants. Maximum soil temperatures for the two week interval following the second planting ranged from 33 to 39 °C, with only one rain of 0.8 cm occurring 10 days after planting. There was no apparent plant loss due to P. aphidermatum in the second planting.

Full textAbstract:
A new capability designed for high-throughput (HT) structural analysis using the synchrotron powder diffraction beamline (I11) at Diamond Light Source is reported. With a high-brightness X-ray beam, multi-analyser detectors and fast data-acquisition procedures, high-quality diffraction data can be collected at a speed of ∼15–30 min per powder pattern for good crystalline materials. Fast sample changing at a rate of a few seconds per specimen is achieved with a robotic arm and pre-loaded capillary specimens on a multi-tray carousel (200-sample capacity). Additional equipment, such as an automatic powder-loading machine and a pre-alignment jig for the sample capillaries, is available to reduce preparation time. For demonstration purposes, the first results presented here are those from standard reference powders of Si, TiO2and TiO2/Si mixtures, obtained by analysing the data using Le Bail (instrumental calibration) and Rietveld refinements (quantitative agreement within 1%). The HT hardware was then used to study the structural phase evolution of a library of 31 La4Ni3−xFexO10heterometallic ceramic powders in less than 1 d. The powders were generated from a single heat treatment (at 1348 K in air for 12 h) of nanoceramic oxide co-precipitate precursors, made using a newly developed HT synthesis robot. Crystallographic details (symmetry and lattice parameters) were obtained as a function of Fe concentration. The results revealed that this approach was able to produce a pure Ruddlesden–Popper-type phase with an iron content of up tox= 0.5, significantly higher than has been achieved previously using more conventional synthesis routes and thus demonstrating the power of using the HT approach.

Full textAbstract:
The use of modern computer technology in animal husbandry without taking into account an experience can lead to unexpected results. From an economic point of view, the introduction and use of innovations in agriculture is not always justified, because of it is necessary to deal with the natural environment, and it is difficult to make predictions for obtaining particular results under such conditions. The article summarizes the experience of using modern computer technologies in dairy farming, considers approaches to improving the technology of milk production in cattle breeding, its innovative potential. Industrial-type enterprises must be modernized with the maximum use of existing facilities and technical equipment, with equipping them with advanced machines, automatic machines and equipment. The use of mechanization and automation should ensure reliable implementation and control of the processes of preparation, transportation and dosing of feed, removal and processing of manure and wastewater, and the creation of an optimal microclimate regardless of the season and climatic zone. The necessity of spreading a loose-line method of keeping cows, milking parlors and automated systems is substantiated. Cow milking should be considered a significant element in the mechanization of technological processes on a livestock farm, and therefore the most promising development of milking systems in automated and computerized installations such as Europarallel, Herringbone, and Carousel. The use of innovative digital developments such as the creation of large databases in dairy farming allows us to more accurately determine the possible results of investments and more efficiently integrate agriculture into society. The development of modern technologies contributes to a more complete realization of the genetic potential of animals and thereby increases the efficiency of dairy cattle breeding

Full textAbstract:
Colletotrichum acutatum J. H. Simmonds was isolated from diseased leaves of ornamental Kalmia latifolia L. (mountain laurel) cvs. Carousel and Peppermint on plants imported from the United States to Edinburgh, Scotland, in December 1999. Symptoms included sunken, desiccated, darkened necrotic areas, primarily at the leaf tip. Necrotic areas advanced toward the leaf base and were bordered by purple/red pigmentation. Isolations were made from salmon colored conidiomata that developed on abaxial leaf surfaces following incubation in a humidity box at 25°C for 7 to 10 days. White aerial mycelia, becoming gray to grayish beige, and producing salmon to orange colored conidial masses, formed on potato dextrose agar after 10 to 14 days. Conidia were hyaline, aseptate, fusiform to slightly irregular, and measured 13.4 to 13.8 × 4.3 to 4.9 μm. Both morphological and conidial characteristics were consistent with the description of C. acutatum (2). The identity of isolates was further verified by positive plate-trapped antigen ELISA of conidial preparations using a species-specific monoclonal antibody (1). Pathogenicity was assessed by inoculating the adaxial surface of healthy leaves of both cultivars of the imported plants with colonized agar disks and a range of spore suspensions (30, 300, and 3,000 spores delivered in 30 μl volumes) from test fungal isolates and a confirmed laboratory strain (three replicates per treatment). To ensure inoculum uptake, two 5 mm2 areas of cuticle on either side of the mid-rib of each leaf were lightly scratched with a sterile hyperdermic needle prior to inoculation. Inoculated leaves were incubated in a humidity box at 25°C for up to 3 weeks. Symptom development was progressive but relatively slow on both cultivars. The relatively slow development on artificially infected leaf material may be partly attributable to residual fungicide treatment as prescribed by the Scottish Plant Health Service at the time of planting out. Symptoms produced on fruits (apple, banana, and strawberry), inoculated with both test and laboratory strains of the fungus, were identical. Symptoms did not occur on control leaves or fruits inoculated with sterile distilled water or uninoculated agar disks. Koch's postulates were confirmed by consistently reisolating isolates with morphological and immunological characteristics identical to the fungal isolate used to initially inoculate test material. Over the same period, additional symptoms, identical to those originally described at the time of interception, continued to develop on leaf tips of both Kalmia cultivars. Additional isolations from this material were characterized as C. acutatum. Identification of representative isolates was confirmed by CABI Bioscience, Egham, UK, where a reference culture (accession number IMI 384569) has been deposited. As advanced symptoms were observed immediately on arrival of this consignment in the UK, original infection is thought to have occurred prior to importation. This is the first report of C. acutatum infecting K. latifolia. References: (1) I. Barker et al. 1994.

ABSTRACTA laboratory XRF analysis system employing an HgI2 spectrometer detector has been built. The system consists of an x-ray generator tube, a rotating carousel holding multiple XRF targets, and a probe head containing the HgI2 detector. Tests have been performed on several samples, under vacuum, helium and nitrogen ambient atmospheric conditions. This is of particular interest, since the applications for such an XRF system include operation under different ambient conditions. For applications in terrestrial and space planetary exploration, the expected temperatures and gas ambient will vary widely. Comparative analyses using the various gases were made on spectra obtained from standard geological samples.

Schizophrenia is a devastating disorder affecting 1 % of the world's population. An important role in the study of this disease is played by animal models. Since there is evidence that acute psychotic episodes can have consequences on later cognitive functioning, the present study has investigated the effects of a single systemic application of higher doses of (+)MK-801 (3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) to adult male Long-Evans rats from the Institute’s breeding colony on delayed testing in the active place avoidance task with reversal on the Carousel (a rotating arena). Besides significant mortality due to the injections, a disruption of procedural functions in active place avoidance, after the dose 5 mg/kg was observed. It was concluded that Long-Evans rats from our breeding colony do not represent a suitable biomodel for studying the effects of single high-dose NMDA antagonists.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background/Aims Medical students need to gain patient contact to develop their skills in history taking and examinations. In year three, undergraduate students typically rotate across various hospitals and specialties and are expected to have dedicated rheumatology exposure for history and examination competencies. Rheumatology as an out-patient specialty can limit opportunities for medical students to have broad exposure to rheumatological conditions. Methods In January 2018, we designed an annual rheumatology half-day teaching workshop (‘Rheumatology Carousel’) using a combination of lecture-based teaching and small group based guided clinical history and examination stations, aimed at third-year medical students from the University of Birmingham. This covered key presentations in rheumatology: axial spondyloarthropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis (connective tissue disease), osteoarthritis, and vasculitis. Each station required a Clinical Teaching Fellow or Rheumatology ST trainee, overseen by one consultant facilitator. We designed patient proforma’s incorporating consent, demographics, key clinical history, therapy, and examination findings. We produced a written patient guide, and consultants invited appropriate patients to volunteer for the day. We designed a one-hour lecture-based tutorial. A lesson plan and schedule were created outlining faculty requirements; including time, roles, and faculty numbers. We invited five to six patients to each session, with a plan of four to five focussed examinations. We designed the carousel to accommodate up to 40 students, split into two groups running over a day. Focussed examinations involved students in groups of four, with each student being a lead examiner in at least one station, each station lasting 20 minutes. Best practice examination techniques for each condition were assessed and emphasised. Following a debrief, we collected feedback from students, faculty, and patients (online and written feedback), using Likert scores for teaching content, and quality of the session delivery. Results The carousel ran in February 2018, 19, and 20. The sessions were positively evaluated by students, faculty, and patients. In total, 93 students attended, 89/93 completed feedback. Satisfaction scores (mean; SD; range) were high (1-strongly disagree, 5-strongly agree) for content (4.8; 0.49, range 3-5) and quality of delivery (4.7; 0.54; 3-5). All patients who participated volunteered to return for future teaching sessions, with several patients attending all three years. Free text feedback indicated students valued structured exposure to core conditions and called for more sessions of this nature. Conclusion This sustainable reproducible intervention ensures students have structured exposure to important rheumatological conditions. The methodology allows reproducible sessions that are positively evaluated despite rotating clinical teaching staff. We have made all our teaching materials, logistical plan, and scheduling tools available as open access resources under a Creative Commons license for free re-use and adaptation by any healthcare professional, via a web link.
