[Technology Passage] Online social networks as crowdsourcing platforms for multimedia-involved behavioral testing: an empirical study XX Choi1, XXX Lee1,* 1 School of Integrated Technology, university University of Taipei Abstract Online social networks have come out as effective crowdsourcing platforms in recent days. However, issues about how to effectively exploit them have not been adequately addressed yet. Here, we investigate the reliability and effectiveness of multimedia-involved behavioral testing via social network-based crowdsourcing especially focused focusing on Facebook as a medium to recruit participants. We conducted a crowdsourcing-based experiment for a music recommendation problem. It is shown that different methods for advertisement yields different degrees of efficiency and there exist significant differences in behavioral patterns across different genders and different age groups. Also, we compare our experiment with other multimedia-involved crowdsourcing experiments built on amazon mechanical turkTurk, which suggests that social network-based crowdsourcing experiments can achieve comparable efficiency. Based on the analysis results, the advantages and disadvantages of social network-based crowdsourcing experiments and suggestions for successful experiments are also discussed. We will conclude that social networks have a the potential to serve as appropriate platforms for behavioral tests to gather in-depth data for even long-term periods of time. Introduction Nowadays, online crowdsourcing has been one of the widely used methods to conduct behavioral experiments with a large number of people. In comparison to the traditional way of performing offline experiments: crowdsourcing on the Internet can collect large data with less few efforts to recruit participants, set up the experimental environments, and run the experiments. (Wu et al., 2013) In addition, it has been shown that the quality of experimental results from crowdsourcing is almost the same to as that from offline-recruited participants (Casler et al., 2013).

This finding suggests the possibility of that long-term sustained DNA methylation in the TERT promoter may be directed towards hindering transcription factors to its promoter. DNMT1-mediated methylation of promoter dnaDNA DNA is able to can hamper transcription factors binding to their promoters. (AGCG?). Recent studies also showed that the binding of E2F1 to the promoter was suppressed by CpGChg. methylation in the promoter derived from dihydrofolate reductase reeducates, c-myc, or c-myb, as revealed by luciferase activity assay in a human osteosarcoma cell line (Saos2 cell lines). (Ref. CpGChg. methylation as a mechanism for the regulation of E2F activity) Taken together, TERT transcription is impeded by the repressive environment in which multiple regulatory restrictions have to be overcome before TERT is expressed. Several SNPs of telomere maintenance genes have been found to are highly related to the survival in of HCC patients with infection of hepatitis B virus. (refRef) SNP rs- (IVS3-24 C > T), which is located on the intron 3 of the TERT gene, was associated with an decrease in a the risk of HCC progression based on previous research by Jung et al.(. (refRef) Although no significant association between rs- and HCC risk in the previous report by Jung et al.,(ref) our current data demonstrated that rs- variant combined with -124C>T mutation of the TERT promoter increase TERT expression, telomere length, and HCC mortality and HCC recurrence. Thus we suggest that the study for SNPs coupled to with another SNPs or genetic alteration is important in the prediction of recurrence and prognosis in patients with HCC.

For this, we propose the simplified MMSE equalizer with the Time Reversal (TR) pre-filter which has the characteristic of focusing the symbol energy in the space-time domain. With the aid of TR pre-filter, we can shorten the tap size of the MMSE equalizer at the reciever receiver side without the BER performance degradation compared to the full tap MMSE equalizer. Formatted: Space After: 0 pt, Line spacing: single 1. Introduction Formatted: Space Before: 0 pt, After: 0 pt UWB system has received great attentions as a short-range indoor wireless system because it provides a remarkable capacity increment by utilizing a huge bandwidth. However, the UWB system suffers from ISI due to the occupation of large bandwidth. To overcome this drawback, once deployed (DS-CDMA) with (RAKE) receivers. However, this scheme cannot be avoid the complexity increment of the receiver side. Due to the ISI and complexity issues the TR technique, which is originally researched at in underwater acoustics, has been extended to the UWB system, where the TR pre-filter is the time-reversed version of the channel impulse response (CIR). The TR pre-filter acts as a transmit transmit-matched filter and alleviatealleviates the receiver complexity. Moreover, it provides the spatial and temporal focusing effect [1]. However, the TR pre-filter cannot eliminate ISI perfectly,perfectly; as a result, the residual ISI degrades the performance of the system. In this paper, we propose the simplified MMSE equalizer with the TR pre-filter to eliminate the residual ISI. Owing to the energy-focusing effect at in the space-time domain, we can simplify the MMSE equalizer at the receiver side by using the shortened effective CIR and achieve a BER performance that is the same compared to the full tap MMSE equalizer.

Time Reversal and Equalizer For the TR, the transmitter uses the time-reversed complex conjugate of the CIR as the pre-filter. If we denote the CIR by h x (t), the, the pre-filter and the effective CIR are given by g (t ) = h* ( −t ) (1) heff (t ) = 1 EH h(t )  g (t ) = 1 EH h(t )  h* ( −t ) (2) whenWhen  denotes convolution function and EH is the normalizing factor to prevent power enhancement by the pre-filter. Then, the effective CIR is equivalent to the autocorrelation function of CIR which causes focusing the symbol energy in the space-time domain.

The plastically collapse alumina nanowires, induced by a surface tension in the drying process are shown in the SEM image of in Fig. 2a. Even after the collapse, the bottom ends of nanowires are mechanically connected on to each vertex of hexagonal units of the aluminum substrate, which was formed during the anodizationatomization process. The length of the side of a hexagon is 58nm. We also observe that the alumina nanowire has a triangular cross crosssection with a side length of 26 nm. After the gold coating of 40nm thicknessin Fig. 2b, the side length of the triangular cross cross-section of the metallic nanowire is 40nm. From the experimentally obtained images , it is presented that thin gold films are surrounding an alumina nanowire with equilateral triangular cross -sections with side lengths of 26nm and 40nm for the alumina and surrounding gold-coated regions, respectively. (seeSee Fig. 2E) In the first place, our self-aggregated metallic nanowire bundles have random 3D patterns just like mountain ridges and valleys, as described in Fig. 2c. The top ends of the nanowires conspired to form a ridge while the bottom ends are fixed to the vertices of hexagonal units. To model this these six collapsed nanowires linked to a unit hexagon, we introduce a “merged nanowire hexagonal unit”, as described in Fig. 2e. Every six gold-coated nanowires were bind bound together at the top end, and the gold-coated nanowires were fixed to the vertices of a 58nm side length hexagon at the bottom end. Because the nanowires merge at the top ridge with a high packing density so that we can consider that they are completely stuck to one another. Six gold-coated alumina nanowires with triangular cross-sections are assembled in the shape of a Star of David with 11 nm gaps between the closest triangles at the bottom ends. Through By defining a rectangular computational domain of 173 nm width and 200nm height with periodic boundary conditions in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, a hexagonal crystal structure of 100nm interporeinterpose distance can be modelled.

[Chemical Engineering Passage] Formatted: Space Before: 0 pt, After: 0 pt Results and Discussion The phase transitions of asymmetric PS-b-P2VP melt waswere evaluated by in-situ SAXS experiments. Figure 1a tells about the SAXS intensity profiles as being a function of the scattering vector (q), where q = (4π/λ)sinθ, and θ and λ are the scattering angle and wave length of the incident x-ray beam, respectively. Sample The sample annealed at a constant temperature of 150 oC was subjected to the heating process from 150 to 260 °C well above the glass transition temperatures (~ 100 oC) of the two blocks. All the profiles were measured at various temperatures during heating at a heating rate of 0.7 oC/min. At a lower temperature of T = 150 oC, a sharp primary peak at q* = 0.353 nm-1, two shoulder peaks at both sides of primary peak, and a higher-order peak at q = 0.706 nm-1 indicated a hexagonally perforated layer (HPL) structure of the A-B-C stacking pattern with q/q* = 0.92 : 1 : 1.08 : 2 for {101}HPL, {003}HPL, {102}HPL and {006}HPL respectively. An HPL structure is confirmed by the TEM image of the PS-b-P2VP melt annealed at 160 oC, as seen in Figure 1b. Both the shoulder peaks were faded with an increasing temperature up to 170 °C, while the higher-order peak at q = 0.714 nm-1 was still discernable. Commented [u30]: Consider chaning the verb form.

As temperature increases (T > 185 °C), the intensity profiles were changed into a sharp primary peak and a second-order peak with the peak ratio of q/q* = 1.15 for {121}GYR} GYR and {220}GYR} GYR, which was distinctly displayed separately in the intensity profile at 200 °C. This peak ratio had the characteristics of a gyroid (GYR) structure, even though the other higher-order peak was discernable barely due to the low electron density contrast between the two blocks [35, 36]. The TEM image of the PS-b-P2VP melt annealed at 195 oC we show in Figure 1b, also corresponded to the [100] projection in the cubic structure of a GYR structure. With further increasing temperatures (T > 210 °C), the primary peak appreciably weakened and the higher-order peaks disappeared, indicating the correlation hole scattering arising from the compositional fluctuations in the disordered (DIS) state of BCPs Formatted: Indent: First line: 0" Formatted: Space After: 0 pt, Line spacing: single [Medicine Passage] Discussion With the modern study, we demonstrated that short -term active smoking (<10 pack-years) in young patients with untreated intermittent adult-onset asthma werewas associated with a decrease in the lung function and AHR. The daily smoking frequency (number of cigarettes per day), smoking duration (how many years), and cumulative smoking history (how many pack-years) were predictors that were significantsigns of the decreased lung function, even thThrough the patients were young adults with intermittent asthma. In addition to this, the daily smoking frequency remained to be an independent determinant of marked AHR (HisPC20 <2mg/mL). Collectively, these findings suggest a the benefit of never smoking even for young patients with intermittent adult-onset asthma. This study research made a demonstrationdemonstrates of the effects of short-term smoking (<10 pack-years) in patients with adult-onset asthma and revealed the effect that a cumulative smoking history of <10 pack pack-years was associated with lower lung function not fully responsively to bronchodilator and marked AHR. Epidemiological evidence suggests that a smoking history of ≥10 pack-years causes an accelerated decline in lung function in patients with Adult Asthma. 23 old current smokers who had asthma who have a prolonged high packyears (mean±SD and 41±23) comprise a population that is at high risk of severe, or lifethreatening, disease exacerbation, regardless of the relatively small disease duration. Despite our study not being a longitudinal study, it can be considered to be at the lower end of a continuum of studies reporting lung function declines in adult patients with asthma and a relevant smoking history. Even after the inhaling of the bronchodilator, a significant difference in lung function between the never smokers and current smokers in our study existed. This finding makes it clear that even a short smoking duration <10 pack-years isare associated with a future risks of persistent airflow limitation. Last of all smoking duration exhibited the highest R2 in the multiple linear regression analysis was adjusted for age, sex, disease duration, and BMI; this finding suggests that the smoking duration can have a deep effect inon lung function when compared with the results of other smoking parameters (cigarettes per day and pack-years) However, the prediction accuracy of the models is not really high. This implies that the influence of smoking may be vary among individuals. Commented [u36]: Consider adding the hyphen(s). Commented [u37]: The verb were does not seem to agree with the subject.

The latter dataset was shown to have big biases when positioned next to numbers in the upper level of the max. dailyDaily temperature distribution and as a consequence was not applied to this these indices. For every index (table 3) an annual amount of events (the “days above thresholds”) was extrapolated from the witnessed data for the period 1965 to 2012. From the annual values an imperial probability density fluctuation (pdf) was calculated using kernel density smoothing and two values of s (Fig. 2)) were randomly determined as constituting the width between the middle and the 75th percentile of the distribution along with the distance between the middle and 81st percentile.

The main reason why we are worried about this attempted resurrection of the FTPL is because that during 2017 the FTPL popped up twice in the arena of economic policy. In Japan, Kenechi Mashimoto notes, referring to the new FTPL (2011, 2013, 2016a,), that, that “…the Nikkei and other media have recently reported his prescription for achieving the inflation target based on the FTPL (Mashimoto 2017, page 1). Melina RedandoRedondo an economist from Brazil (2017) argued in a contribution to the Brazilian financial newspaper, that really high high-interest rates in Brazil isare simply resulting fromof high nominal interest rates. Her analysesanalysis is based on the analysis of Jim Corane (corane 2016 a), that which has listed among its key building blocks the FTPL. Associated real-world policy risks with the FTPL are possible to occur: the policy disasters can be happen if fiscal and monetary policy makers convinced that the FTPL is the appropriate way of considering the interaction of monetary and fiscal policy in driving inflation, aggregate demand, increasing real economic activity and default sovereign risk. The key assertion of the FPTL is that, no matter what the size of the outstanding stock of domestic currency-denominated public debt and the public sector deficits that have to be financed areis, now and in the future, there is not a need to worry about the fiscal-financialmoney program of the State becoming unsustainable. Debt sustainability analysis will always make the answer that the public debt is indeed sustainable. This miracle will incur since no matter how large the nominal value of the debt stock, there always exists a value of the general price level high enough to make the real value of the outstanding stock of public debt small enough for the fiscal-financial monetary program to be sustainable Plus, somehow, the actual price level always takes on this unique value that ensures the sustainability of the public finances.

Country (Music) Maleness is a Conflicted Identity Country music at some points is seen as opposing a norm, valuing traditionalism and conservational values over the mainstream’s diverse but establishment views , with a regressive or even reactionary notion of masculinity (TremmelTrammel 1995; Knox 2000; Bernstein 2016). A claim that runs counter to this view held that rural conservative masculinity is still seen as the most real masculine ideal in the united states (O’Reilly. 2016). This interplaying between urban and country reflects Connell's (1995) assertion that the dominant or hegemonic, form of masculinity at a certain place or time is a given that it will be contested, with the masculine ideals that are glorified in the country genre exist in contrast not only to the femininity ideals present within the genre but with the masculine images present in rock, rap, and other genres as well that have masculine images. In effect, while country music maleness can be marginal or oppositional outside of the country music audience, it can at the same time be the hegemonic ideal within that audience According to Casey (2003), country music men often were negotiating an oppositional masculinity Elvis and his contemporaries forged a rockabilly identity onin postwar America, and this was identity was a white rural ideal in resistance to the “man in the suit.” The outlaw movement of the 70 s carried on with this ethos, standing hard against mainstream rock music and the Nashville establishment (Kerry 2014; Walton 2016): Today’s country performers similarly attempts to defy expectations, embracing a traditional-yet-stylized rural identity in opposition to the urbane ‘metrosexual’ (Carroll et al. 2006). Peters (2000) and Chan (2000) split country music, as a genre into the forms of “hard” and “soft”, with “hard-shell” or “hard country” talking about a specific vision of the country artists as a perpetual outsider, not to the big city only but to the country music establishment itself also. The country establishment is labeled the “soft” or “mainstream.” While the mainstream country is flirt with pop stylingsstyling’s, the hard country remains true to at the very least some concept of its roots, continuing to have whatever’s going on around it be labeled as the not real country (Peters 20000; Regan 2013).

Given a partial solution the Zelleck algorithm came up with a lower bound on the wasted space amount which was then used to trim against an upper bound. By contrast, we do not compute any numerical bounds and instead detect infeasibility with a single constraint. As rectangles are place in the bounding box, the remaining empty space gets chopped up into small un-regular regions. After a while, the empty space is chopped up into small enough chunks so much that they cannot accommodate none any of the remaining unplaced rectangles, at that point we backtrack. While assigning x-coordinates about a bounding box of height H, we keep a histogram h v 1, v 2,...,v, v H i, where viVI is the number of empty cells (units of empty space) that are in empty columns of height i. For example; assume that in Figure4 we assigned only the x-coordinates of a 3×2 rectangle in a 6×3 bounding box. The resulting histogram would be (h3,0,9i,) since there are 3 cells in empty columns of height 1, no empty cells on columns of height 2, and include 9 cells in empty columns of height 3. Now it can be assumed that we only have left to place a 2×3 and a 2×2 rectangle. We can assign the six cells of the 2-by-3 rectangle to the empty cells of v3=9, having the empty cells left over as h3,0,3i, 0,3i. At this point, we cannot assign the area of the 2×2, due to us having just havehad 3 empty cells that can accommodate its height and we need 4, so we can prune.

However, my diversity is a catalyst which that makes these academic intelligence and experiences melt to grow a success. The lifeLife in Korea may give me diversity aslike other international students. Many international students would say “I am from another country so I am diverse.” But, this is not the value what that the Haas Community needs. My diversity is not only diverse by raciallyrace, but diverse thorough intelligence and mind. The diversity in my body became a third eye which makes me be able to see the whole world. When I was in Korea, I saw the world as a Korean. Mass media such as television and movies controlled a big part of my thoughts and beliefs. Also, the schools defined other countries and their cultures withfrom a Korean view. However, since I came to the U.S, stereotypes, and prejudices of other countries in me have been changed. The motivation that changed my misleading attitude was working at the International Education Office at Santa Monica College. I call this office ‘The United Nations.’ As the word indicates, it is the most diverse place where I can meet people from all over the world. I listen to students’ countries’ cultural, economicaleconomic, and political issues and their adjustment to the U.S. This experience has given me the third eye to look at the world with a clear, flexible, and prospectiveperspective view.
