Abstract:

Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the uterine cervix is a risk factor for progression to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. Detection in consecutive genital samples of HPV-16 DNA, a frequently encountered HPV type, may represent persistent infection or reinfection. We undertook a study using PCR–single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and sequencing of PCR products (PCR-sequencing) to determine if consecutive HPV-16-positive samples contained the same HPV-16 variant. Fifty women (36 human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] seropositive, 14 HIV seronegative) had at least two consecutive genital specimens obtained at 6-month intervals that contained HPV-16 DNA as determined by a consensus L1 PCR assay. A total of 144 samples were amplified with two primer pairs for SSCP analysis of the entire long control region. Fifteen different SSCP patterns were identified in our population, while 22 variants were identified by PCR-sequencing. The most frequent SSCP pattern was found in 75 (53%) samples from 27 (54%) women. The SSCP patterns obtained from consecutive specimens were identical for 46 (92%) of 50 women, suggesting persistent infection. Four women exhibited in consecutive specimens different HPV-16 SSCP patterns that were all confirmed by PCR-sequencing. The additional information on the nature of persistent infection provided by molecular variant analysis was useful for 6% of women, since three of the four women who did not have identical consecutive specimens would have been misclassified as having persistent HPV-16 infection on the basis of HPV typing.

Abstract:

The preservation of threatened species, such as the cantabric brown bear, requires the establishment of genetic resource banks. In these species it is important to increase the efficiency of the electroejaculation techniques so as to collect as many gametes as possible from each collection, and to decrease risks of anesthesia and immobilization. Our objective was to study several characteristics of brown bear semen quality obtained in three consecutive electroejaculations (a, b, and c) in the same anesthetic session. Ejaculates were collected from 11 adult males living in the Cabárceno Nature Park during the breeding season (May–July). Animals were anesthetized by administration of tiletamine + zolazepan (Zoletil 100®) and ketamine (Imalgene 1000®) before being subjected to electroejaculation (6 to 10 V; 250 to 300 mA). From each ejaculate we assessed motility (CASA: SCA, Microptic, Barcelona, Spain), osmolality (mOsm k–1), and viability (VIAB: % viable spermatozoa (spz), SYBR-14 and propidium iodide) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MIT: % spz, JC-1) by flow cytometry. Our results show that total spz (×106 spz) varies widely among individuals depending on the number of electroejaculation. In five males we observe a decreasing pattern (a: 454.50; b: 341.7; c: 138.0); in other two males it is observed an increasing pattern (a: 24.9; b: 70.3; c: 334.3) while in the remaining four males we see a varied pattern, with the sperm production peak in the second electroejaculation (a: 53.4; b: 270.6; c: 107.5). Motility parameters do not show differences among the three electroejaculations, showing a reduction of the progressive motility in the males with increasing pattern with respect to the other patterns. Also, spermatozoa physiology indicators show a relation with the sperm production patterns. For viability (%) it is shown a rising tendency in the increasing pattern (a: 64.0, b: 80.0, c: 79.5) and a reduction tendency in the decreasing pattern (a: 68.7, b: 61.0, c: 58.7). The same is observed in the case of mitochondrial membrane potential (%) (increasing pattern [a: 77.0, b: 89.0, c: 87.0]; decreasing pattern [a: 80.0, b: 76.3, c: 55.7]). Ejaculates of the varied pattern show irregular data for these parameters. On the other hand, osmolality changes depending on the number of electroejaculation (increasing pattern [a: 324.0, b: 289.0, c: 298.3]; decreasing pattern [a: 333.0, b: 297.0, c: 283.0]; varied pattern [a: 264.0, b: 294.6, c: 318.54]) which would determine a change in the spz microenvironment that regulates their physiological activity. Although the high individual variability observed does not lead to solid conclusions, our results indicate that consecutive electroejaculations can be useful for increasing the technique yield in brown bear.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to find out if different exporter types dominate among matched mature Spanish and Estonian firms and whether these types are associated with specific export growth/decline patterns. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on firm-level data from the Estonian Business Register’s database of annual financial reports and SEPI Foundation’s survey on Spanish firms’ business strategies. From both countries, 242 firms were included and the period 2009-2013 was chosen. Findings Committed exporters (with 75 per cent or higher export shares) dominated in Estonia and experimental exporters (with export shares mostly below 10 per cent) in Spain. While in Estonia, the most frequent export growth/decline pattern encompassed four consecutive growth years, in Spain, it had two consecutive growth years and then two decline years. Spanish firms’ export growth/decline patterns were more random: 12 patterns of 16 fell within the range of a random walk assumption, while in Estonia, only 5 patterns were within the range. Contingency existed between exporter types and export growth/decline patterns only for the whole sample. Originality/value This paper studies if committed/aggressive/active exporters experience more export fluctuations than passive/experimental exporters, and how random export growth/decline patterns are.

Abstract:

SUMMARYThe variability of larval excretion impedes the parasitological diagnosis ofStrongyloides stercoralisin infected individuals. We assessed the number of larvae excreted per gram (LPG) stool in 219 samples from 38 infected individuals over 7 consecutive days before and in 470 samples from 44 persons for 21 consecutive days after ivermectin treatment (200 μg kg−1BW). The diagnostic sensitivity of a single stool sample was about 75% for individuals with low-intensity infections (⩽1 LPG) and increased to 95% for those with high-intensity infections (⩾10 LPG). Doubling the number of samples examined per person increased sensitivity to more than 95%, even for low-intensity infections. There was no indication of a cyclic excretion of larvae. After treatment, all individuals stopped excreting larvae within 3 days. Larvae were not detected during any of the following 18 days (total 388 Baermann and 388 Koga Agar tests). Two stool samples, collected on consecutive days, are recommended in settings where low or heterogeneous infection intensities are likely. In this way, taking into account the possible biological variability in excretion, the efficacy of ivermectin treatment can be assessed as soon as 4 days after treatment.

Abstract:

Describing the dynamic textures has attracted growing attention in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. In this paper, a novel approach for recognizing dynamic textures, namely, high order volumetric directional pattern (HOVDP), is proposed. It is an extension of the volumetric directional pattern (VDP) which extracts and fuses the temporal information (dynamic features) from three consecutive frames. HOVDP combines the movement and appearance features together considering the nth order volumetric directional variation patterns of all neighboring pixels from three consecutive frames. In experiments with two challenging video face databases, YouTube Celebrities and Honda/UCSD, HOVDP clearly outperformed a set of state-of-the-art approaches.

Abstract:

AbstractIn the present study, we evaluated the reproducibility and validity of dietary patterns among Chinese adult populations. A random subsample of 203 participants (aged 31–80 years) from a community-based nutrition and health survey was enrolled. An eighty-seven-item FFQ was administered twice (FFQ1 and FFQ2) 1 year apart; four 3 consecutive day, 24-h dietary recalls (24-HDR, as a reference method) were performed between the administrations of the two FFQ every 3 months. Dietary patterns from three separate dietary sources were derived using factor analysis based on twenty-eight predefined food groups. Comparisons between dietary pattern scores were made by using Pearson’s or intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), cross-classification analysis, weighted κ statistic and Bland–Altman plots; the four major dietary patterns identified from FFQ1, FFQ2 and 24-HDR were similar. Regarding reproducibility, ICC for z-scores between FFQ1 and FFQ2 were all >0·6 for dietary patterns. The ‘animal and plant protein’ pattern had the highest ICC of 0·870. For validity, the adjusted Pearson’s correlation coefficients for dietary pattern z-scores between two FFQ and the mean of four 3 consecutive day 24-HDR ranged from 0·387 for the ‘Chinese traditional’ pattern to 0·838 for the ‘animal and plant protein’ pattern. More than 75 % of the participants were classified into the same or adjacent quartile, and <5 % were misclassified into opposite quartiles. The weighted κ ranged from 0·259 to 0·680. Bland–Altman plots indicated that no significant deviation was found between two dietary assessment methods. Our findings indicate a good reasonable reproducibility and a reasonable validity of dietary patterns derived by factor analysis in China.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Prior research demonstrates that investors respond differently to earnings surprises that are part of a string of consecutive earnings increases or surprises than to those that are not. To shed light on who values these patterns, I compare trading responses of small and large traders to earnings surprises that occur during a series of positive or negative surprises. I find that the relative intensity of small traders' trading response (and, to a lesser extent, that of medium traders) to earnings surprises generally increases as a series progresses. Small traders respond more negatively to the second (third) negative surprise in a series than to the first (second), and more positively for the first three surprises in a positive series. Moreover, I find that announcement-period returns are related to the trading of small and medium traders. These results suggest that less sophisticated smaller traders, responding to earnings series, contribute to previously documented pricing patterns.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective Changes in bleeding patterns could influence the decisions of healthcare professionals to change the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) before 7 years of use, the recommended period of extended use. We evaluated changes in the bleeding patterns of users of the 52 mg LNG-IUS at the end of use of the first (IUS-1) and during the second device (IUS-2) use. Methods We performed an audit of the medical records of all women who used two consecutive LNG-IUSs at the Family Planning clinic. We evaluated the sociodemographic/gynecological variables, the length of use, and the bleeding patterns reported in the reference periods of 90 days before removal of the IUS-1 and at the last return in use of IUS-2. We used the McNemar test to compare bleeding patterns. Statistical significance was established at p < 0.05. Results We evaluated 301 women aged (mean ± SD) 32 (±6.1) years, with lengths of use of 68.9 (±16.8) and 20.3 (±16.7) months for the IUS-1 and IUS-2, respectively. No pregnancies were reported. Bleeding patterns varied significantly among women who used the IUS-2 for ≥ 7 months to 6 years when compared the bleeding patterns reported in IUS-1 use. Eighty-nine out of 221 (40%) women maintained amenorrhea and infrequent bleeding; 66 (30%) evolved to bleeding patterns with light flow, and 66 (30%) maintained or evolved to heavy flow patterns (p = 0.012). No differences were observed among the 80 women with ≤ 6 months of use. Conclusion Changes in bleeding patterns occur during the use of LNG-IUS and should not be decisive for the early replacement of the device.

Abstract:

AbstractIn recent work, we considered the frequencies of patterns of consecutive primes (mod q) and numerically found biases toward certain patterns and against others. We made a conjecture explaining these biases, the dominant factor in which permits an easy description but fails to distinguish many patterns that have seemingly very different frequencies. There was a secondary factor in our conjecture accounting for this additional variation, but it was given only by a complicated expression whose distribution was not easily understood. Here, we study this term, which proves to be connected to both the Fourier transform of classical Dedekind sums and the error term in the asymptotic formula for the sum of φ(n).

Abstract:

Abstract Nitrate (NO3-N) load characteristics in consecutive dry years in the Huai River Basin (HRB), China, were examined using streamflow and NO3-N concentration data. The data set spanned 12 years including three consecutive dry years. Baseflow separation, load estimation, and nonparametric linear regression were applied to separate point source (PS), baseflow, and surface runoff NO3-N loads from the total load. The mean annual nonpoint source (NPS) load was 2.84 kg·ha−1·yr−1, accounting for 90.8% of the total load. Baseflow contributed approximately one-fourth of the natural runoff and half of the NPS load. The baseflow nitrate index (i.e., the ratio of baseflow NO3-N load to total NPS NO3-N load) was 25.4% higher in consecutive dry years than in individual dry years. This study demonstrated that baseflow is the preferential hydrological pathway for NO3-N transport in the HRB and that baseflow delivers a higher NO3-N percentage to streams under long-term drought than under short-term drought. This study highlights the alarming evidence that continuous drought caused by climate change may lead to a higher rate of nitrogen loss in agricultural watersheds.

Abstract:

A DNA methylation pattern represents an original plan of the function settings of individual cells and tissues. The basic strategies of its development and changes during the human lifetime are known, but the details related to its modification over the years on an individual basis have not yet been studied. Moreover, current evidence shows that environmental exposure could generate changes in DNA methylation settings and, subsequently, the function of genes. In this study, we analyzed the effect of chronic exposure to nanoparticles (NP) in occupationally exposed workers repeatedly sampled in four consecutive years (2016–2019). A detailed methylation pattern analysis of 14 persons (10 exposed and 4 controls) was performed on an individual basis. A microarray-based approach using chips, allowing the assessment of more than 850 K CpG loci, was used. Individual DNA methylation patterns were compared by principal component analysis (PCA). The results show the shift in DNA methylation patterns in individual years in all the exposed and control subjects. The overall range of differences varied between the years in individual persons. The differences between the first and last year of examination (a three-year time period) seem to be consistently greater in the NP-exposed subjects in comparison with the controls. The selected 14 most differently methylated cg loci were relatively stable in the chronically exposed subjects. In summary, the specific type of long-term exposure can contribute to the fixing of relevant epigenetic changes related to a specific environment as, e.g., NP inhalation.

Adolescents are least likely to drink alcohol alone (< 5%) or heavily with peers (< 10%), more likely to drink with parents (15%-20%), in moderate amounts with peers (11%-28%) or not at all (11%-27%), and most likely to be light social drinkers (30%-46%). Cross-gender comparisons suggest that traditional gender differences are fading away; the data show increases in moderate social drinking among females and abstinence among males.Conclusions: Our results confirm that adolescents’ patterns of alcohol use are stable over time, despite the social and political changes that have occurred in Poland since 1988, and reflect a pattern of mostly moderate drinking.

Abstract:

BackgroundIn Italy a number of studies have been published on psychotropic drug use in general practice and community settings. However, the present study is the first Italian study to focus on hypnotic drug prescriptions in a large community sample.MethodData were collected from 145 of the total of 404 pharmacies of five large cities in north-eastern Italy. All consecutive patients presenting a prescription for a hypnotic drug were interviewed by the pharmacists during a two-week period.ResultsThe pharmacists interviewed 7/44 consecutive patients. The highest prevalence of prescriptions for hypnotic drugs was found in the elderly and in women. The majority (96%) of prescriptions were for benzodiazepines, with lorazepam and triazolam accounting for 50%. Short-acting and ultra-short-acting benzodiazepines were more frequently prescribed for sleep induction by general practitioners (GPs) than by psychiatrists and other physicians. Frequently the benzodiazepine used as a hypnotic was also prescribed for day time sedation. Approximately 72% of subjects reported they had been taking the prescribed drug for one year or more.ConclusionsIn Italy benzodiazepines are the most frequently prescribed drugs for sleep induction; as they are widely prescribed for elderly people by GPs often for long periods of time, educational programmes and guidelines on the rational use of benzodiazepines in general practice are needed.

Abstract:

Poor dietary habits have been shown to be associated with a range of chronic diseases and can potentially be a major contributor to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) mortality. We therefore aimed to identify the prevailing dietary patterns among Chinese adults and to evaluate trends in dietary patterns from 1991 to 2015. We used data collected in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis of data from three consecutive 24 h dietary recalls. We studied 29,238 adults aged 18 and above with complete demo-graphic and dietary data. Three distinct dietary patterns were identified: southern (high intakes of rice, vegetables, and pork), modern (high intakes of fruits, dairy products, cakes, cookies, and pastries), and meat (high intakes of organ meats, poultry, and other livestock meat). The southern pattern score decreased (mean ± SD scores in 1991: 0.11 ± 1.13; scores in 2015: −0.22 ± 0.93). The modern pattern score (mean ± SD scores in 1991: −0.44 ± 0.59; scores in 2015: 0.21 ± 1.01) and meat pattern score (mean ± SD scores in 1991: −0.18 ± 0.98; scores in 2015: 0.27 ± 0.91) increased. We observed that China has experienced a shift from traditional dietary patterns to western dietary patterns.

Abstract:

BackgroundA few small studies have reported on the mechanisms of ACL injury in professional male football.AimTo describe the mechanisms, situational patterns and biomechanics (kinematics) of ACL injuries in professional male football matches.MethodsWe identified 148 consecutive ACL injuries across 10 seasons of professional Italian football. 134 (90%) injury videos were analysed for mechanism and situational pattern, while biomechanical analysis was possible in 107 cases. Three independent reviewers evaluated each video. ACL injury epidemiology (month), timing within the match and pitch location at the time of injury were also reported.Results59 (44%) injuries were non-contact, 59 (44%) were indirect contact and 16 (12%) were direct contact. Players were frequently perturbed immediately prior to injury. We identified four main situational patterns for players who suffered a non-contact or an indirect contact injury: (1) pressing and tackling (n=55); (2) tackled (n=24); (3) regaining balance after kicking (n=19); and (4) landing from a jump (n=8). Knee valgus loading (n=83, 81%) was the dominant injury pattern across all four of these situational patterns (86%, 86%, 67% and 50%, respectively). 62% of the injuries occurred in the first half of the matches (p<0.01). Injuries peaked at the beginning of the season (September–October) and were also higher at the end of the season (March–May).Conclusions88% of ACL injuries occurred without direct knee contact, but indirect contact injuries were as frequent as non-contact injuries, underlying the importance of mechanical perturbation. The most common situational patterns were pressing, being tackled and kicking.

Abstract:

Abstract Intra-annual precipitation patterns are expected to shift toward more intense storms and longer dry periods because of changes in climate within future decades. Using satellite-derived estimates of plant growth combined with in situ measurements of precipitation and soil moisture between 1999 and 2013, this study quantified the relationship between intra-annual precipitation patterns, annual average soil moisture (at 5-cm depth), and plant growth at nine grassland sites across the southern United States. Results showed a fundamental difference in the response to varying precipitation patterns between mesic and semiarid grasslands. Surface soil moisture in mesic grasslands decreased with an increase of high-intensity storms, whereas in semiarid grasslands, soil moisture decreased with longer dry periods. For these sites, annual average soil moisture was a better indicator of grassland production than total annual precipitation. This improved ability to predict variability in soil moisture and plant growth with changing hydroclimatic conditions will result in more efficient resource management and better-informed policy decisions.

Abstract:

Background: Patterns on proteins and genomic sequences are vastly analyzed, extracted and collected in databases. Although protein patterns originate from genomic coding regions, very few works have directly or indirectly dealt with coding region patterns induced from protein patterns. Results: In this paper, we have defined a new genomic pattern structure suitable for representing induced patterns from proteins. The provided pattern structure, which is called “Consecutive Positions Scoring Matrix (CPSSM)”, is a replacement for protein patterns and profiles in the genomic context. CPSSMs can be identified, discovered, and searched in genomes. Then, we have presented a novel pattern matching algorithm between the defined genomic pattern and genomic sequences based on dynamic programming. In addition, we have modified the provided algorithm to support intronic gaps and huge sequences. We have implemented and tested the provided algorithm on real data. The results on Saccharomyces cerevisiae’s genome show 132% more true positives and no false negatives and the results on human genome show no false negatives and 10 times as many true positives as those in previous works. Conclusion: CPSSM and provided methods could be used for open reading frame detection and gene finding. The application is available with source codes to run and download at http://app.foroughmand.ir/cpssm/ .

Abstract:

Recently, understanding and modeling human behavior have attracted increasing interests. In this paper, we provide some statistical research on human behavior in Web surfing during special stage called Flash Crowd (FC). Approximate entropy is used to find out the FC stage. We quantify behavior patterns by interval time between two consecutive request behaviors. Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test is used to estimate the appropriate probability distribution function of interval time. The results show that the request behavior patterns varied in different stages.

Abstract:

Abstract Extreme precipitation events (EPEs) have a major impact across Arctic Fennoscandia (AF). Here we examine the spatial variability of seasonal 50-year trends in three EPEs across AF for 1968–2017, using daily precipitation data from 46 meteorological stations, and analyse how these are related to contemporaneous changes in the principal atmospheric circulation patterns that impact AF climate. Positive trends in seasonal wet-day precipitation (PRCPTOT) are widespread across AF in all seasons except autumn. Spring (autumn) has the most widespread negative (positive) trends in consecutive dry days (CDD). There is less seasonal dependence for trends in consecutive wet days (CWDs), but the majority of the stations show an increase. Clear seasonal differences in the circulation pattern that exerted most influence on these AF EPE trends exist. In spring, PRCPTOT and CDD are most affected by the Scandinavian pattern at more than half the stations while it also has a marked influence on CWD. The East Atlantic/Western Russia pattern generally has the greatest influence on the most station EPE trends in summer and autumn, yet has no effect during either spring or winter. In winter, the dominant circulation pattern across AF varies more between the different EPEs, with the North Atlantic Oscillation, Polar/Eurasia and East Atlantic patterns all exerting a major influence. There are distinct geographical distributions to the dominant pattern affecting particular EPEs in some seasons, especially winter, while in others there is no discernible spatial relationship.

Abstract:

In this paper, we analyze the problem of recovering the shape of a smooth Lambertian surface from two images obtained by consecutive illumination of the surface by distant point light-sources from two different directions. We discuss the issues of existence and uniqueness of solutions to the corresponding system of two first-order non-linear partial differential equations. We show that generically this system has, up to a constant, a unique solution. We also examine exceptional cases for which there is no such uniqueness.

Full text

Abstract:

In test mode test patterns are applied in random fashion to the circuit under circuit. This increases switching transition between the consecutive test patterns and thereby increases dynamic power dissipation. The proposed ring counter based ATPG reduces vertical switching transitions by inserting test vectors only between the less correlative test patterns. This paper presents the RC-ATPG with an external circuit. The external circuit consists of XOR gates, full adders, and multiplexers. First the total number of transitions between the consecutive test patterns is determined. If it is more, then the external circuit generates and inserts test vectors in between the two test patterns. Test vector insertion increases the correlation between the test patterns and reduces dynamic power dissipation. The results prove that the test patterns generated by the proposed ATPG have fewer transitions than the conventional ATPG. Experimental results based on ISCAS’85 and ISCAS’89 benchmark circuits show 38.5% reduction in the average power and 50% reduction in the peak power attained during testing with a small size decoding logic.

This study aims to investigate the existence of Belief Model (BAM) developed by Hogarth and Einhorn (1992) in investment decision making. Particulary, this study examined: the effects of presentation patterns, presentation orders, and information types (accounting or non-accounting information) in investment decision making. This study used laboratory experiment to test the hypotheses. Hypotheses were tested using t-test. This study showed a “judgement bias” that is a recency which the effect of presentation pattern is consecutive is higher than unconsecutively.
