Abstract:
Mobile communication technology offers a potential platform for new types of communication applications. Here, we describe the development and experiences with a mobile group communication application, mCell, that runs on a mobile phone. We present the underlying design implications, the application implementation, and a user study, where three groups used the application for one month. The findings of the user study reveal general user experiences with the application and show different patterns of usage depending on the social setting of the group and how the preferred features vary accordin

Abstract:
A subset $X$ of a group $G$ is called $P$-small (almost $P$-small) if there exists an injective sequence $(g_{n})_{n\in\omega}$ in $G$ such that the subsets $(g_{n}X)_{n\in\omega}$ are pairwise disjoint ($g_{n}X\cap g_{m}X$ is finite for all distinct $n,m$), and weakly $P$-small if, for every $n\in\omega$, there exist $g_{0}, \ldots ,g_{n}\in G$ such that the subsets $g_{0} X, ..., g_{n} X$ are pairwise disjoint. We generalize these notions and say that $X$ is near $P$-small if, for every $n\in\omega$, there exist $g_{0}, \ldots ,g_{n}\in G$ such that $g_{i}X\cap g_{j}X$ is finite for all dist

Abstract:
AbstractWe combine remote sensing (RS) measurements of temperature and precipitation with phylogenetic and distribution data from three plant clades with different life forms, i.e., shrubs and treelets (tribe Miconieae, Melastomes), epiphytes (Ronnbergia-Wittmackia alliance, Bromeliaceae), and lianas (“Fridericia and Allies” clade, Bignoniaceae), to predict the distribution of biodiversity in a tropical hot spot: the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We assess (i) how well RS-derived climate estimates predict the spatial distribution of species richness (SR), phylogenetic diversity (PD), and phylogenetic endemism (PE) and (ii) how they compare to predictions based on interpolated weather station information. We find that environmental descriptors derived from RS sources can predict the distribution of SR and PD, performing as well as or better than weather station-based data. Yet performance is lower for endemism and for clades with a high number of species of small ranges. We argue that this approach can provide an alternative to remotely monitor megadiverse groups or biomes for which species identification through RS are not yet feasible or available.

Abstract:
To explain social decline, a first mechanism notes that elites, understood as small and relatively homogeneous groups, have a superiority to act in concert, compared to the masses. When the capitalist dynamics offers great opportunities to take advantage, and when such opportunities distribute costs over large groups, while concentrating the benefits in a few hands, then the elites have an incentive to intervene. To maintain privileged access to opportunities, elites seek alliances and resort to all forms of social power. Society decays when this path transforms it into a network of particularistic groups, committed to dividing given resources, instead of innovating and improving. A second mechanism is based on the responses of complex societies to challenges. The answers try to bridge the gap between the complexity of the control system and the increased complexity of the controlled system. They may consist either in constructing hierarchical modules, so that many subjects obey a few, or in multiplying the connections through reticular structures. The more the answer stratifies the hierarchy, the more the management costs of the apparatus increase. On the other hand, the more it insists on links, the more coordination costs increase between the many players in the network. The society tends to swing from one to the other, depending on which becomes more onerous. But both modes lead in the long run to decreasing energy returns, pushing the system on a path of decline. Even without the claim of composing an exhaustive investigation, the two mechanisms arise from some of the most relevant and recurrent characteristics of complex human societies: respectively, the difficulties of cooperation and the difficulties of responding to the arising of new systemic problems. In this sense, the two mechanisms may be able to help us understand what happens and what could happen.

Abstract:
Abstract A regular finite graph is called a Ramanujan graph if its zeta function satisfies an analog of the Riemann Hypothesis. Such a graph has a small second eigenvalue so that it is used to construct cryptographic hash functions. Typically, explicit family of Ramanujan graphs are constructed by using Cayley graphs. In the paper, we introduce a generalization of Cayley graphs called generalized group–subgroup pair graphs, which are a generalization of group–subgroup pair graphs defined by Reyes-Bustos. We study basic properties, especially spectra of them.

To apply the two-fluid model to a wide range of flow regimes in gas-liquid two-phase flows, the gas phase is categorized into two groups: small spherical/distorted bubbles as Group 1 and large cap/slug/churn-turbulent bubbles as Group 2 in the modeling of interfacial area transport. The interfacial transfer terms of momentum and energy for the gas phase are then divided into two groups accordingly in the implementation of the two-group interfacial area transport equation to the two-fluid model. Thus, the drag coefficients and the interfacial heat transfer for each group bubbles need to be deve

Previous work has focused on unanimous fairness, in which all agents in each group must agree that their group's share is fair. Under this strict requirement, fair allocations exist only for small groups. We introduce the concept of democratic fairness, which aims to satisfy a certain fraction of the agents in each group. This concept is better suited to large groups such as cities or countries. We present protoco

Background Opioid analgesia has become the mainstay for acute pain management in the postoperative setting. However, the use of opioid medications comes with significant risks and side effects. Due to increasing numbers of prescriptions to those with chronic pain, opioid medications have become more expensive while becoming less effective due to the buildup of patient tolerance. The idea of opioid-free analgesic techniques has rarely been breached in many hospitals. Emerging research has shown that opioid-sparing approaches have resulted in lower reported pain scores across the board, as well

Abstract:
The use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in consumer products has expanded rapidly, revealing both innovative improvements over conventional materials, and the potential for novel risks to human health and the environment. As the number of new nano-enabled products and the volume of toxicity data on ENMs continues to grow, regulatory agencies like the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) – a small, independent federal agency responsible for protecting consumers from unreasonable risks associated with product use – will require the ability to screen and group a diverse array of nano

Abstract:
Background: In an era of explosive growth in biomedical evidence, improving systematic review (SR) search processes is increasingly critical. Text-mining tools (TMTs) are a potentially powerful resource to improve and streamline search strategy development. Two types of TMTs are especially of interest to searchers: word frequency (useful for identifying most used keyword terms, e.g., PubReminer) and clustering (visualizing common themes, e.g., Carrot2). Objectives: The objectives of this study were to compare the benefits and trade-offs of searches with and without the use of TMTs for evidence
