While previous evaluations consider status gains and competence evaluations to be key drivers for novices' joining behavior, it is unclear how FLOSS developers' relationships with others affect the attraction of new developers. In this research, we look at FLOSS developers' relationships in terms of positive evaluations given by others. Using this perspective, we examine how FLOSS developers' reputation among members within and beyond the project community affects their projects' ability to attract new developers. We draw on Social Resource Theory (SRT) and hypothesize that developers with a high reputation among others enjoy high visibility and credibility, which in turn helps their projects to attract new members. Finally, we propose an evaluation approach for our research model that examines the reputation and project behavior of more than 1,000 FLOSS developers on a longitudinal base.}, DOI = {10.1145/2599990.2599991}, ISBN = {978-1-4503-2625-4}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Weitzel, Tim/AFS-7648-2022}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000381005000002}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000309430500031, Author = {Yamakami, Toshihiko}, Editor = {Hissam, SA and Russo, B and Neto, MGD and Kon, F}, Title = {The Third Generation of OSS: A Three-Stage Evolution from Gift to Commerce-Economy}, Booktitle = {OPEN SOURCE SYSTEMS: GROUNDING RESEARCH}, Series = {IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology}, Year = {2011}, Volume = {365}, Pages = {368-378}, Note = {7th International Conference on Open Source Systems, Salvador, BRAZIL, OCT 05-08, 2011}, Organization = {CAPES, Minist Educ, Coordinat Improvement Higher Educ Personnel; CNPQ, Minist Sci \& Tecnol, Natl Council Sci \& Technol Dev; FAPESB, State Bahia Res Agcy; Petrobras, Brazilian Natl Energy Co}, Abstract = {Linux is penetrating into mobile software as the basis for a mobile middleware platform.

In this paper, the drying characteristics of Calotropis gigantea pods on microwave radiation by using different drying methods, different microwave powers, and different time periods, are studied, and the corresponding impacts on fiber quality are analyzed. The experimental results show that obtaining Calotropis gigantea seed fibers by microwave heating the pods is feasible. Compared to natural air drying and hot air drying, the microwave drying (MW can significantly improve the drying efficiency and reduce the drying time by more than 5 times. The microwave power has considerable influences on the drying rate. However, the fiber strength and break elongation are reduced with the increase of microwave power due to fiber structural change caused by the high temperature inside the pod. Compared with intermittent radiation, the moisture loss rate of the pods is greater in continuous radiation mode, but the pod internal temperature is higher, which is harmful to the quality of the fibers. Varying power radiation, which uses lower power first, then higher, could shorten drying time without impeding the pods' abdominal suture broadening.}, ISSN = {1222-5347}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000364798300002}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000414286900006, Author = {Diniz, Guilherme C. and Graciotto Silva, Marco A. and Gerosa, Marco A. and Steinmacher, Igor}, Book-Group-Author = {IEEE}, Title = {Using Gamification to Orient and Motivate Students to Contribute to OSS projects}, Booktitle = {2017 IEEE/ACM 10TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON COOPERATIVE AND HUMAN ASPECTS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (CHASE 2017)}, Year = {2017}, Pages = {36-42}, Note = {IEEE/ACM 10th International Workshop on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE), Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA, MAY 23, 2017}, Organization = {IEEE; Assoc Comp Machinery; IEEE Comp Soc; IEEE Tech Council Software Engn; Assoc Comp Machinery Special Interest Grp Software Engn; EXACTAS UBA; Soc Argentina Informatica; Fundac Investigac \& Desarrollo TIC}, Abstract = {Students can benefit from contributing to Open Source Software (OSS), since they can enrich their portfolio and learn with real world projects.

The goal of this work is to analyze the use of gamification to orient and motivate undergraduate students to overcome onboarding barriers and engage to OSS projects. To achieve this goal, we implemented four gaming elements (Quests, Points, Ranking, and Levels) in GitLab and assessed the environment by means of a study conducted with 17 students, within a real OSS project (JabRef). At the end of the study, the students evaluated their experience through a questionnaire.

Collectively, these qualities affect non-behavioral concerns of the software system such as reliability, usability, security, or maintainability among others. As a byproduct of a long-term maintenance effort, these system qualities tend to erode over time, causing system-wide failures that emerge via quality-related bugs. Quality-related bugs can have a detrimental impact on system's sustained stability and can chiefly hinder its core functionality. Typically, for the developers, to manually examine these high-impacted quality-related bugs can become prohibitively expensive and impractical task to attain. This is often a case with bugs that are reported from medium or large-sized projects such as Eclipse. To alleviate this problem, we built a quality-based classifier to automatically detect these emerging quality-related concerns from textual descriptions of bug report summaries. Specifically, we leveraged a weighted combination of semantics, lexical, and shallow features in conjunction with the Random Forest ensemble learning method. Finally, we discuss the practical applicability of our classifier for mapping and visualizing quality-related concerns into the codebase with an example from the Derby project. To summarize, this work represents an effort and an early awareness to improve the underlying management of issue tracking systems and stakeholder requirements in open-source communities.}, DOI = {10.1109/SANER50967.2021.00011}, ISBN = {978-1-7281-9630-5}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Agrawal, Ankit/L-4811-2019 }, ORCID-Numbers = {Agrawal, Ankit/0000-0003-1467-1596 Krasniqi, Rrezarta/0000-0001-6884-6131}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000675825200002}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000406222600098, Author = {Rahman, Md Habibur and Islam, Md Mamunoor}, Book-Group-Author = {IEEE}, Title = {An Empirical Approach to Autonomous GSM BTS based on OSS and OSH}, Booktitle = {2016 3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION \& COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICEEICT)}, Series = {International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Information Communication Technology}, Year = {2016}, Note = {3rd International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Information and Communication Technology (ICEEICT), Military Inst Sci \& Technol, Dhaka, BANGLADESH, SEP 22-24, 2016}, Abstract = {In this era of wireless engineering, Open source application has turned out to be an evolving concept in the development of GSM technology.

We selected 15 free tools and divided them into stand-alone, Matlab-based, ImageJ-based, free demo versions of commercial tools and data sharing tools. The review consists of two parts: First, we developed a criteria catalogue and rated the tools regarding structural requirements, functionality (flexibility, segmentation and image processing filters) and usability (documentation, data management, usability and visualization). Second, we performed an image processing case study with four representative fluorescence micrograph segmentation tasks with figure-ground and cell separation. The tools display a wide range of functionality and usability. In the image processing case study, we were able to perform figure-ground separation in all micrographs using mainly thresholding. Cell separation was not possible with most of the tools, because cell separation methods are provided only by a subset of the tools and are difficult to parametrize and to use. Most important is that the usability matches the functionality of a tool. To be usable, specialized tools with less functionality need to fulfill less usability criteria, whereas multipurpose tools need a well-structured menu and intuitive graphical user interface.}, DOI = {10.1111/jmi.12184}, ISSN = {0022-2720}, EISSN = {1365-2818}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Palmisano, R./KIC-6381-2024 Wittenberg, Thomas/AAD-6340-2019 Held, Christian/KIK-3268-2024 }, ORCID-Numbers = {Palmisano, Ralf/0000-0003-4283-2115}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000345972000005}, } @article{ WOS:000334728400003, Author = {Poba-Nzaou, Placide and Raymond, Louis and Fabi, Bruno}, Title = {Risk of adopting mission-critical OSS applications: an interpretive case study}, Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPERATIONS \& PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT}, Year = {2014}, Volume = {34}, Number = {4}, Pages = {477-512}, Abstract = {Purpose - This study aims to explore the process of open source software (OSS) adoption in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and more specifically open source enterprise resource planning (ERP) as a ``mission critical{''} OSS application in manufacturing. It also addresses the fundamental issue of ERP risk management that shapes this process. Design/methodology/approach - The approach is done through an interpretive case study of a small Canadian manufacturer that has adopted an open source ERP system. Findings - Interpreted in the light of the IT risk management, OSS and packaged application adoption literatures, results indicate that the small manufacturer successfully managed the adoption process in a rather intuitive manner, based on one guiding principle and nine practices. In analyzing the data, diffusion of innovation theory appeared to fit rather well with the situation observed and to offer rich insights to explain the mission-critical OSS adoption process. Research limitations/implications - A single case study of successful IT adoption should be eventually counterbalanced by future cases considered to be partial or total failures, using a wider multiple case study approach for comparative purposes. And this should include alternative theoretical interpretations and more detailed empirical work on the extent to which the distinctive features of OSS make its adoption more or less risk-laden. This initial effort should also be followed by further research on mission-critical OSS adoption in contexts other than SMEs (e.g. healthcare organizations) and other than ERP (e.g. customer-relationship management). Practical implications - This research confirms that open source is a credible alternative for SMEs that decide willingly or under external pressure to adopt a mission-critical system such as ERP. Moreover, it suggests that a high level of formalization is not always necessary. Originality/value - The authors argue that rich insights into the dynamics of the mission-critical OSS adoption process can be obtained by framing this process within an IT risk management context.}, DOI = {10.1108/IJOPM-03-2012-0117}, ISSN = {0144-3577}, EISSN = {1758-6593}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Raymond, Louis/G-8100-2011}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000334728400003}, } @article{ WOS:000406682800005, Author = {Kiefer, Brittany N. and Lemarr, Kyle E. and Enriquez, Christopher C. and Tivener, Kristin A. and Daniel, Todd}, Title = {A Pilot Study: Perceptual Effects of the Voodoo Floss Band on Glenohumeral Flexibility}, Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ATHLETIC THERAPY \& TRAINING}, Year = {2017}, Volume = {22}, Number = {4}, Pages = {29-33}, Month = {JUL}, Abstract = {Even though adaption of the Voodoo Floss Band is gaining momentum, evidence-based literature on its effectiveness remains sparse.

It would be useful to understand how to get such a project to accept a process improvement proposal and hence to perform process innovation. We want to determine an effective and feasible qualitative research method for studying the above question. We present (narratively) a case study of how we worked towards and eventually found such a research method. The case involves four attempts at collecting suitable data about innovation episodes (direct participation (twice), polling developers for episodes, manually finding episodes in mailing list archives) and the adaptation of the Grounded Theory data analysis methodology. Direct participation allows gathering rather rich data, but does not allow for observing a sufficiently large number of innovation episodes. Polling developers for episodes did not prove to be useful. Using mailing list archives to find data to be analyzed is both feasible and effective. We also describe how the data thus found can be analyzed based on the Grounded Theory Method with suitable adjustments. By-and-large, our findings ought to apply to studying various phenomena in OSS development processes that are similarly heavyweight and infrequent. However, specific details may block this possibility and we cannot predict which details that might be. The amount of effort involved in direct participation approaches to qualitative research can easily be underestimated. Also, survey approaches are not well-suited for many process issues in OSS, because too few developers are sufficiently process-conscious. An approach based on passive observation is a viable alternative in the OSS context due to the availability of large amounts of fairly complete archival data.}, DOI = {10.1007/s10664-011-9160-1}, ISSN = {1382-3256}, EISSN = {1573-7616}, ORCID-Numbers = {Oezbek, Christopher/0000-0003-3995-1797 Prechelt, Lutz/0000-0001-5592-3521}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000291746700005}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000380608000001, Author = {Barcomb, Ann}, Book-Group-Author = {ACM}, Title = {A multiple case study of small free software businesses as social entrepreneurships}, Booktitle = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OPEN COLLABORATION}, Year = {2015}, Pages = {A1+}, Note = {11th International Symposium on Open Collaboration, San Francisco, CA, AUG 19-21, 2015}, Organization = {Wikimedia Fdn; Google Inc; Univ California Berkeley; ACM SIGSOFT; ACM SIGWEB; John Ernest Fdn}, Abstract = {Free/libre and open source software are frequently described as a single community or movement. The difference between free software and open source ideology may influence founders, resulting in different types of companies being created. Specifically, the relationship between free/libre software ideology and social entrepreneurships is investigated. This paper presents seven case studies of businesses, five of which were founded by people who identify with the free/libre software movement. The result is a theory that small businesses founded by free/libre software advocates have three characteristics of social entrepreneurships. First, social benefit is prioritized over wealth creation. Second, the business's social mission is not incidental but is furthered through its for-pro fit activities, rather than supported by the company's profits. Third, the company's success is de fined in part by the success of its social mission. Free/libre software entrepreneurs who recognize their activities as social entrepreneurships can bene fit from the existing literature on the unique challenges faced by socially-oriented businesses.}, DOI = {10.1145/2788993.2789830}, ISBN = {978-1-4503-3666-6}, ORCID-Numbers = {Barcomb, Ann/0000-0003-2126-9511}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000380608000001}, } @article{ WOS:000269239800009, Author = {Montenegro de Lima, Clovis Ricardo and Santini, Rose Marie}, Title = {COLLABORATIVE PRODUCTION OF FREE SOFTWARE: work and technology in the information society}, Journal = {INFORMACAO \& SOCIEDADE-ESTUDOS}, Year = {2008}, Volume = {18}, Number = {2}, Pages = {101-110}, Abstract = {This article presents the collaborative production of free software, which takes place on open-source codes, emerging as an example of relations between work and innovative technology in the information society.

Henceforth, Literature witnesses the evolution of SRGMs in terms of different assumptions, parameters, performance etc. This study is an attempt to model reliability growth phenomenon for Open Source Software (OSS). As the development process followed by OSS significantly differs from proprietary software, traditional software engineering SDLC models can't be followed for its development. OSS development procedure does not incorporate a dedicated testing phase and therefore negligible effort expenditure is done on testing of software prior its release. The volume of volunteer participation in its operational phase thus becomes a significant criterion in the representation of its reliability growth. Also, the impact of sudden changes in fault detection process (change-point) due to several reasons like variations in fault density, irregular team size, volunteer expertise etc is captured in proposed SRGM. This paper suggests a reliability model based on user growth with the concept of change point to better cater the heterogeneity in software failure process. Failure data of GNOME 2.0 is used in this paper reliability growth analysis. Unknown parameters are estimated using Least Square Estimation regression technique. Performance inspection of proposed SRGM is carried out using goodness-of-fit criteria like Mean square error (MSE), Coefficient of Determination (R-2), Predictive Ratio Risk (PRR), and Predictive Power (PP). The study recommends that introduction of the change-point in SRGM improves prediction capability of the model and hence establishes an evidence of its applicability.}, ISSN = {2469-875X}, ISBN = {978-1-5090-3012-5}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Gandhi, Neha/E-7688-2010}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000435235900046}, } @article{ WOS:001359212300007, Author = {Luo, Du}, Title = {Quantitative Analysis of Fish Morphology Through Landmark and Outline-based Geometric Morphometrics with Free Software}, Journal = {BIO-PROTOCOL}, Year = {2024}, Volume = {14}, Number = {20}, Month = {OCT 20}, Abstract = {Morphology underpins key biological and evolutionary processes that remain elusive. This is in part due to the limitations in robustly and quantitatively analyzing shapes within and between groups in an unbiased and high- throughput manner. Geometric morphometrics (GM) has emerged as a widely employed technique for studying shape variation in biology and evolution. This study presents a comprehensive workflow for conducting geometric morphometric analysis of fish morphology. The step-by-step manual provides detailed instructions for using popular free software, such as the TPS series, MorphoJ, ImageJ, and R, to carry out generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA), principal component analysis (PCA), discriminant function analysis (DFA), canonical variate analysis (CVA), mean shape analysis, and thin plate spline analysis (TPS). The Momocs package in R is specifically utilized for in-depth analysis of fish outlines. In addition, selected functions from the dplyr package are used to assist in the analysis. The full process of fish outline analysis is covered, including extracting outline coordinates, converting and scaling data, defining landmarks, creating data objects, analyzing outline differences, and visualizing results. In conclusion, the current protocol compiles a detailed method for evaluating fish shape variation based on landmarks and outlines. As the field of GM continues to evolve and related software develops rapidly, the limitations associated with morphological analysis of fish are expected to decrease. Interoperable data formats and analytical methods may facilitate the sharing of morphological data and help resolve related scientific problems. The convenience of this protocol allows for fast and effective morphological analysis. Furthermore, this detailed protocol could be adapted to assess image-based differences across a broader range of species or to analyze morphological data of the same species from different origins.}, DOI = {10.21769/BioProtoc.5087}, Article-Number = {e5087}, EISSN = {2331-8325}, Unique-ID = {WOS:001359212300007}, } @article{ WOS:000296170300020, Author = {Muench, I. and Wagner, W.}, Title = {Free software development in civil engineering and an application for the design of industrial sheds}, Journal = {BAUINGENIEUR}, Year = {2011}, Volume = {86}, Pages = {400-408}, Month = {SEP}, Abstract = {Structural analysis and computer science are central subjects in the (higher) education of civil engineers.

We also included the carefully designed instructions that we gave to students for participating in GitHub-OSS Fixit. As all lectures and labs are conducted online, we think that our course design could help in guiding future online SE courses. Overall, our survey results show that students think that GitHub-OSS Fixit could help them to improve many skills and apply the knowledge taught in class.

In this study, our objective was to advance the practicality of drug-coated floss as an intra gum pocket drug delivery system.

A floss piece was dip coated in the middle section with model molecules leaving free ends for holding. Porcine gum tissues were used ex vivo and in vivo to evaluate the coated floss, including effect of coating thickness on delivery efficiency, ability to deliver more than one type of molecule (one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic), mechanical properties using a scratch test, and finally retention of delivered material in vivo in the porcine model. After reaching a certain coating thickness, the delivery efficiency of the coated floss decreased, indicating the presence of an optimal coating thickness. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules were successfully coated and delivered with high efficiency into gum pockets. The scratch test indicated that the coatings were resilient. Lastly, the in vivo analysis showed that the drug coating was delivered into the porcine gum pocket with about 65\% efficiency, and the coatings could maintain extended residency within the gum pocket despite the native adverse environment of the oral cavity. Overall, this data shows that drug-coated floss can act as a drug delivery vehicle and has potential to provide a minimally invasive and practical method for the delivery of drugs into the gum pockets.}, DOI = {10.1021/acsami.2c07976}, EarlyAccessDate = {JUN 2022}, ISSN = {1944-8244}, EISSN = {1944-8252}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Gill, Harvinder/D-8252-2014 }, ORCID-Numbers = {Gill, Harvinder/0000-0003-0832-5291 Boese, Seth/0000-0001-5723-5538}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000820637300001}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000632588900016, Author = {Johri, Aditya}, Book-Group-Author = {ACM}, Title = {How FLOSS Participation Supports Lifelong Learning and Working: Apprenticeship Across Time and Spatialities}, Booktitle = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE 14TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OPEN COLLABORATION (OPENSYM'18)}, Year = {2018}, Note = {14th International Symposium on Open Collaboration (OpenSym), Paris, FRANCE, AUG 22-24, 2018}, Abstract = {In this paper I draw on two case studies to examine participatory learning in Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS).

Four diamictons interbedded with glaciomarine and glaciofluvial sediments are exposed in a large gravel pit situated above the post-glacial marine limit. The interpretation of these sediments has implications for the history of both the inland ice and the Norwegian Channel Ice Stream. During a Middle Weichselian interstadial, a large glaciofluvial delta prograded into a shallow marine environment along the coast of Jaeren. A minor glacial advance deposited a gravelly journal of Quaternary Science diamicton, and a glaciomarine diamicton was deposited during a following marine transgression. This subsequently was reworked by grounded ice, forming a well-defined boulder pavement. The boulder pavement is followed by glaciomarine clay with a lower, laminated part and an upper part of sandy clay. The laminated clay probably was deposited under sea-ice, whereas more open glaciomarine conditions prevailed during deposition of the upper part. The clay is intersected by clastic dykes protruding from the overlying, late Weichselian till. Preconsolidation values from the marine clay suggest an ice thickness of at least 500 m during the last glacial phase. The large variations in sea-level probably are a combined effect of eustasy and glacio-isostatic changes caused by an inland ice sheet and an ice stream in the Norwegian Channel.

The hypotheses are evaluated by means of an econometric model of simultaneous equations. In order to better gauge the results of the hypotheses, the model is evaluated over economic environments at different stages of development. Social development and OSS growth were found to be the most important facilitators for eGovemment maturity, across countries of all stages of development Institutional quality, technological openness, freedom in press and the macro-economic environment exerted different weights of importance across different country groupings. Findings also suggest that technological infrastructure and innovation are important drivers for OSS growth across countries at all stages of development.

In 2019 and 2020, we thoroughly recorded the flower visitors to a silk-floss tree in suburban Guadalajara, Mexico. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive inventory of silk-floss tree flower visitors. We documented 79 species/morphospecies of insects; eight of birds, and one of mammals visiting the flowers. All, except two, are native to the region; three are endemic/quasi-endemic to Mexico. Besides direct and indirect floral resources, the silk-floss tree offered perches, resting/hiding cover, nesting substrate, and seed fibres used by several birds, and feeding substrate for gleaning insectivorous birds. Four species are on one or more conservation listings: monarch butterfly (endangered), pink-spotted swallowtail (vulnerable), sparkling-tailed hummingbird (threatened), and lesser long-nosed bat (near-threatened). Our data supports that small patches can enhance the quality of urban green spaces, and that rather than geographic origin, flower output drives visitation. Alien trees can be pollination enhancement `devices' for imperilled pollination networks. Silk-floss trees are a potential option for conservation-oriented urban greening, as well as to contribute to enhancing human enjoyment of nature, and provide opportunities for public outreach.}, DOI = {10.1080/00222933.2023.2284996}, ISSN = {0022-2933}, EISSN = {1464-5262}, ORCID-Numbers = {Mellink, Eric/0000-0003-0705-9235 Fierros Lopez, Hugo Eduardo/0000-0002-1213-7018}, Unique-ID = {WOS:001125503200001}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000376620800279, Author = {Escudero, C. and Irimia, S. and Alvarez, C.

In the past, forest landscape has changed dramatically, especially in periods of forest over-exploitation. Previous studies in some Trentino sub-regions (Val di Fassa, Paneveggio) have identified these changes and the current trend of forest growth at the expenses of open areas, such as pastures and grasslands, due to the abandonment of rural areas. This phenomenon leads to the rapid Alpine landscape change and profoundly affects the ecological features of mountain ecosystems. To be able to monitor and to take future actions about this trend it is fundamental to know in detail the historical situation of the progressive changes on the land use that occurred over Trentino. The work aims to comprehensively reconstruct the forest cover of whole Trentino at high resolution (5m x 5m pixels) using a series of maps spanning a long period, consisting in historical maps, aerial images, remote sensed information and historical archives. The datasets were archived, processed and analyzed using the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) GIS GRASS and QGIS. Historical maps include Atlas Tyrolensis (dated 1770), Theresianischer Kataster (dated 1859) and Italian Kingdom Forest Map (IKFM) of 1936. The aerial imagery dataset includes aerial images taken in 1954, which have been orthorectified during this research, and orthophotos available for years 1973, 1994, 2000, 2006, 2010 and 2016. Remote sensed information includes Landsat and recent Lidar data, while historical archives consist mostly in Forest Management Plans available since around 1950. The versatility of the wide variety of modules supplied from the FOSS GRASS and QGIS enabled to perform a diverse set of analysis and pre-processing (e.g.:orthorectification) on a heterogeneous dataset of input images. We will focus on the different strategies and methodologies implemented in the FOSS GIS used to process the various types of geographic data, challenges for the future of the research and the fundamental role of the FOSS systems in this process.

Nevertheless, previous work shows that OSS newcomers often face several barriers to contribute, which lead them to lose motivation and even give up on contributing. A well-known way to help newcomers overcome initial contribution barriers is mentoring. This strategy has proven effective in offline and online communities, and to some extent has been employed in OSS projects. Studying mentors' perspectives on the barriers that newcomers face play a vital role in improving onboarding processes; yet, OSS mentors face their own barriers, which hinder the effectiveness of the strategy. Since little is known about the barriers mentors face, in this paper, we investigate the barriers that affect mentors and their newcomer mentees. We interviewed mentors from OSS projects and qualitatively analyzed their answers. We found 44 barriers: 19 that affect mentors; and 34 that affect newcomers (9 affect both newcomers and mentors). Interestingly, most of the barriers we identified (66\%) have a social nature. Additionally, we identified 10 strategies that mentors indicated to potentially alleviate some of the barriers. Since gender-related challenges emerged in our analysis, we conducted nine follow-up structured interviews to further explore this perspective. The contributions of this paper include: identifying the barriers mentors face; bringing the unique perspective of mentors on barriers faced by newcomers; unveiling strategies that can be used by mentors to support newcomers; and investigating gender-specific challenges in OSS mentorship.

The developed module, based on Java language and Eclipse compiler, that are Free Open Source Software (FOSS) tools, encompasses a three-dimensional digital environment that simulates an industrial plant dynamics, but whose operation is based on hardware components: an external PID controller and an industrial inverter. Being a FOSS-based development this module has no restriction for its utilization. The interface between the hardware components and the three-dimensional digital environment is based upon a PIC 16F877A design. The developed module simulates, partially, the dynamics of a real pilot plant belonging to the Industrial Process Laboratory of the Engineering College of the UFJF, incorporating some of its complexities and nonlinearities and operates with the same time constants. The developed HIL platform, totally FOSS-based, can reinforce the educational laboratory practices for improving engineering education especially that one related to industrial process control, supervision, and optimization.}, DOI = {10.1007/s40313-013-0013-6}, ISSN = {2195-3880}, EISSN = {2195-3899}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000214874600006}, } @article{ WOS:000793977900020, Author = {Tamura, Yoshinobu and Yamada, Shigeru}, Title = {Maintenance effort management based on double jump diffusion model for OSS project}, Journal = {ANNALS OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH}, Year = {2022}, Volume = {312}, Number = {1, SI}, Pages = {411-426}, Month = {MAY}, Abstract = {Many open source software (OSS) under various OSS projects are in action around the world.

Also, OSS projects will heavily depend the environment of internet network. This paper focuses on the irregular fluctuation of operation performance measures for OSS project management. We apply the double jump diffusion process models to the noisy cases in the operation of OSS. In particular, the maintenance effort is estimated by the stochastic differential equation model in terms of OSS project management. Moreover, we propose the method of maintenance effort management based on the double jump diffusion process model considering the irregular fluctuation of performance for OSS projects. Thereby, it will be helpful for the OSS developers and managers to understand the maintenance effort status of OSS from the standpoint of OSS project management.

Standardization in OSS quality is of vital importance as a communication vehicle for stakeholders in identifying and selecting high-quality products. Thus, meta-models help to define a standardized language and enable to propose quality models that can be used to perform comparable measurements.Objective Considering the lack of a comprehensive meta-model of OSS quality in the literature, there appears a need to see a more complete picture of OSS quality and to represent its concepts more formally. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to develop a solid base for a comprehensive meta-model of OSS quality to create a common understanding among stakeholders.Method A systematic way has been followed toward developing a common structure, defining a consistent terminology and, finally, providing a meta-model of OSS quality. In this context, (1) the common structure of the quality models for OSS has been investigated, (2) the terms of the general-purpose meta-models of software quality have been analyzed based on the international standards, and (3) the terms of the quality models for OSS have been mapped with the elements of these meta-models.Results An initial meta-model of OSS quality, which employs a unified structure from the OSS quality models and eliminates the inconsistencies determined in the general-purpose meta-models of software quality, has been proposed and an implementation of this meta-model has been demonstrated.Conclusion This initial meta-model of OSS quality with a standard terminology can be taken as a guide by researchers who will propose or revise their OSS quality models. It will allow developing multiple OSS quality models with homogenous structure and terms, and also enable comparing the evaluation results obtained by these models.}, DOI = {10.1007/s11219-022-09603-3}, EarlyAccessDate = {DEC 2022}, ISSN = {0963-9314}, EISSN = {1573-1367}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {KOLUKISA, AYÇA/HKN-2117-2023 }, ORCID-Numbers = {yilmaz, Nebi/0000-0002-0591-4667}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000900087500001}, } @article{ WOS:000344436000004, Author = {Morgan, Lorraine and Finnegan, Patrick}, Title = {Beyond free software: An exploration of the business value of strategic open source}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS}, Year = {2014}, Volume = {23}, Number = {3}, Pages = {226-238}, Month = {SEP}, Abstract = {The phenomenon of open source software (OSS) has been well studied from the software development perspective, but it has received much less attention from the perspective of business value. Nevertheless, OSS, when viewed as a value creation process rather than `free' software, provides businesses with value through access to knowledge and innovation capacity resident in online communities. This conceptualisation, which we label `strategic open source' requires firms to rethink their strategy and processes as there is a shift in focus from ownership to openness and collaboration with external parties. Nonetheless, the emergence of OSS poses a puzzle for conceptions of organisational theory. Therefore, a theorising process is needed in order to develop a deeper understanding of how value is created and captured with OSS. Using a field study of eleven European firms, this paper explores the creation and capture of business value from strategic open source. The findings reveal that while decision makers look to open innovation initiatives like OSS for value creation and capture, there is still a desire to remain self reliant, resulting in collaborative design (of external innovations) rather than collaborative decision making with value network partners in relation to how such innovations would help create and capture value within firms.

In this study, OSs in eastern China were investigated to understand their diurnal evolution, source, and volatility using high-resolution mass spectrometry. In polluted days, we identified a total of 5,147 organic molecules, including 1,206 OS molecules. The average molecular weight (m.w.) and carbon chain length of OSs in this study exceeded the commonly recognized range (500 Da). OSs were mostly composed of newly formed low oxidation state compounds as well as aged aliphatic and aromatic ones. The number and abundance of aromatic and aliphatic OSs with low saturation, volatility, O/C-w as well as H/C-w increased greatly with rising PM2.5 concentrations. The daytime photo-oxidation resulted in a large number of high m.w. (HMW, > 500 Da) OSs. OSs with m.w. <500 Da, and many oxygen atoms were newly generated during the nighttime, mainly dominated by liquid-phase oxidation processes. The result of OSs with higher m.w. and lower volatility was due to increased dimerization and oligomerization. During pollution formatting, OSs with small DBE values (between 0 and 6) appeared; meanwhile, the number of highly unsaturated OSs with DBE > 7 (mainly aromatic OSs) increased by about 34\%.

Since OSS consist of an existing framework that can be implemented directly into the application, how far does this affect the complexity of the effort estimation? A number of research papers have outlined the efforts made to refine the complexity of this field. However, to our best knowledge a systematic overview of the research done on Web application development that involves OSS usage does not appear to exist. Hence, the aim of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of OSS Web application development. For this purpose, 34 papers from a total of 67 papers were identified and studied. The findings of this study indicate that (a) no research has been carried out on the field mentioned; (b) there is no early effort estimation model for Web projects that involve the usage of OSS.

Methods We used open source software to build a data management system and an internet application with a Flex client on a Java application server with a MySQL database backend. The application is hosted on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. This solution named Phynx supports data management, Web-based display of electronic patient information, and interactive review of patient-level information in the individual clinical context. This system was applied to a dataset from the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD). Results Our solution can be setup and customized with limited programming resources, and there is almost no extra cost for software. Access times are short, the displayed information is structured in chronological order and visually attractive, and selected information such as drug exposure can be blinded. External experts can review patient profiles and save evaluations and comments via a common Web browser. Conclusions Phynx provides a flexible and economical solution for patient-level review of electronic medical information from databases considering the individual clinical context. It can therefore make an important contribution to an efficient validation of outcome assessment in drug safety database studies.

In this framework, geographic information, and spatial data and tools such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and multispectral optical sensors play a crucial role in the geomatics as support techniques. PA needs software to store and process spatial data and the Free and Open Software System (FOSS) community kept pace with PA's needs: several FOSS software tools have been developed for data gathering, analysis, and restitution. The adoption of FOSS solutions, WebGIS platforms, open databases, and spatial data infrastructure to process and store spatial and nonspatial acquired data helps to share information among different actors with user-friendly solutions. Nevertheless, a comprehensive open-source platform that, besides processing UAV data, allows directly storing, visualising, sharing, and querying the final results and the related information does not exist. Indeed, today, the PA's data elaboration and management with a FOSS approach still require several different software tools. Moreover, although some commercial solutions presented platforms to support management in PA activities, none of these present a complete workflow including data from acquisition phase to processed and stored information. In this scenario, the paper aims to provide UAV and PA users with a FOSS-replicable methodology that can fit farming activities' operational and management needs. Therefore, this work focuses on developing a totally FOSS workflow to visualise, process, analyse, and manage PA data. In detail, a multidisciplinary approach is adopted for creating an operative web-sharing tool able to manage Very High Resolution (VHR) agricultural multispectral-derived information gathered by UAV systems. A vineyard in Northern Italy is used as an example to show the workflow of data generation and the data structure of the web tool. A UAV survey was carried out using a six-band multispectral camera and the data were elaborated through the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique, resulting in 3 cm resolution orthophoto. A supervised classifier identified the phenological stage of under-row weeds and the rows with a 95\% overall accuracy. Then, a set of GIS-developed algorithms allowed Individual Tree Detection (ITD) and spectral indices for monitoring the plant-based phytosanitary conditions. A spatial data structure was implemented to gather the data at canopy scale. The last step of the workflow concerned publishing data in an interactive 3D webGIS, allowing users to update the spatial database. The webGIS can be operated from web browsers and desktop GIS. The final result is a shared open platform obtained with nonproprietary software that can store data of different sources and scales.}, DOI = {10.3390/ijgi10040236}, Article-Number = {236}, EISSN = {2220-9964}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Belcore, Elena/AAH-5658-2021 Aicardi, Irene/AAB-1901-2021 COLUCCI, ELISABETTA/HGB-1417-2022 }, ORCID-Numbers = {Angeli, Stefano/0000-0002-5819-7753 MUSCI, MARIA ANGELA/0000-0001-7945-1776 Belcore, Elena/0000-0002-3592-9384 COLUCCI, ELISABETTA/0000-0001-8635-3066 Aicardi, Irene/0000-0002-7986-0235}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000643088700001}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:001310436400129, Author = {Wang, Zhuo and Hu, Jiahao and Zhou, Yijun and Tambadou, Sidy and Zuo, Fang}, Book-Group-Author = {Assoc Computing Machinery}, Title = {Vul4Java: A Java OSS vulnerability identification method based on a two-stage analysis}, Booktitle = {PROCEEDINGS OF INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ALGORITHMS, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, AND NETWORK SECURITY, ASENS 2024}, Year = {2024}, Pages = {742-746}, Note = {International Conference on Algorithms, Software Engineering, and Network Security (ASENS), Nanchang, PEOPLES R CHINA, APR 26-28, 2024}, Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has been widely used to accelerate software development, inevitably exposing downstr omissions and false positives; omissions put applications and their users at risk, and false positives increase the burden on software developers and users.

The cornerstone of the proposed approach lies in the introduction of a fictive (or virtual) chemical species, the physical characteristics of which are set to recover some essential properties of combustion and flames. Special emphasis is presently placed on the capability of such a global kinetic scheme to recover three parameters that are recognized as the most influential in terms of turbulence chemistry interactions and turbulent premixed combustion regimes. These parameters are (i) the burnt gases temperature T-b, which settles the value of the thermal expansion factor tau = (T-b - T-u)/T-u, (ii) the propagation velocity delta(0)(L), which is mandatory to reproduce the flame dynamics, and (iii) the laminar premixed flame thickness delta(0)(L). In practice, the thermochemical properties of the fictive species (hereafter denoted by A(Phi)) are set to account for the impact of dissociation effects and partial oxidation of the fuel, i.e., presence of species other than H2O and CO2 in the burnt gases, which allows to recover a satisfactory estimate of T-b. The value of the pre-exponential factor associated to the single-step Arrhenius law is also optimized to reproduce the laminar flame propagation velocity. Finally, the transport characteristics are determined to recover a satisfactory estimate of the thermal flame thickness. The method is general in its principles and quite easy to implement. It is applicable to any couple of fuel and oxidizer. Attention is focused on the application of the method to any stoichiometry but it is also shown that the influence of both pressure and fresh reactants temperature can be recovered. The performance of the resulting optimized single step (OSS) chemistry models are assessed through a direct comparison with detailed chemistry results. Computations of one-dimensional laminar flames are performed with the OSS model using the cantera software for a wide range of pressure levels, fresh reactant temperatures, and equivalence ratios. Obtained results do show that the flame propagation velocity is correctly reproduced for the whole range of parameters, with a maximum value recovered in the vicinity of stoichiometry, a decrease towards rich conditions, and a satisfactory pressure dependence. Burnt gases temperature as well as thermal flame thickness values are also in excellent agreement with those issued from the reference detailed kinetics models. The OSS model is then used to perform direct numerical simulation (DNS) computations of flame kernel growths in both laminar and turbulent conditions. The comparison of obtained OSS results with detailed chemistry computations further confirms the relevance and performance of the proposed methodology. (C) 2018 The Combustion Institute.

In OSS architecture, overlay server nodes (OSN) are distributed across the core network architecture of the mobile operator and each node is responsible for both running the game applications and performing the overlay routing. The architecture allows third party game servers that are located outside the core network of the mobile operator to push the execution of delay and bandwidth constrained game components into the core to achieve better quality of service (QoS). When a game consists of multiple mutually exclusive game objects such that each object can be maintained independently, OSS allows per object QoS optimization via selecting the jointly optimal location (i.e. OSN) and overlay routes for each object. This fine-grain optimization benefits most when different objects have different QoS requirements and they are accessed by different users. OSS dynamically adapts to the changes in game and network conditions by switching to better OSN and overlay routes. Our performance analysis on different core network topologies and usage patterns demonstrates that OSS has significant advantages over the alternative peer to peer (P2P), proxy-server, and client-server architectures. The analysis also underlines the individual contributions of object placement and jointly performed overlay route optimization to the performance gain.}, ISSN = {1930-529X}, ISBN = {978-1-4244-0356-1}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000288765600175}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000309064200074, Author = {Hsu, Quang-Cherng and Lin, Chin-Wen and Chen, Jian-Yuan}, Book-Group-Author = {IEEE}, Title = {Development of an Automatic Optical Inspection System for Defect Detection of Dental Floss Picks}, Booktitle = {2012 IEEE/ASME INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED INTELLIGENT MECHATRONICS (AIM)}, Series = {IEEE ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics}, Year = {2012}, Pages = {444-449}, Note = {IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM), Kaohsiung, TAIWAN, JUL 11-14, 2012}, Organization = {I-Rice - NSC; IEEE; IES; IEEE Robot \& Automat Soc; Bur Foreign Trade; RDMA TW; ASME; DSC}, Abstract = {This study aims to make improvements in manufacturing yields for dental floss picks, through deploying automated quality inspection processes.

This motivated them to use coworking spaces - physical spaces used as work space by workers not on the same team or even the same firm - as a critical part of their space ecology.

The copyright regime is so restrictive that it turns a normal learning process into a series of potential copyright violations. The Free Software Movement (FSM) represents a substantial community effort to counter this trend. It seeks to supersede the copyright regime by offering the `Copyleft' licensing mode, which facilitates the formation of a cooperative, resource- sharing community. The FSM has been so successful that it has challenged the utilitarian values presumed in copyright law, has fuelled widespread reassessment of copyright law, and has influenced many who engage in various creative activities. Claiming to bear similar values, Creative Commons (CC) provides licensing models for people to waive some rights granted to them. However, CC differs from the FSM in significant ways. Most notably, the flexible CC licensing model weakens the firm philosophical and political ground which binds FSM advocates together. Hence, although CC's rapid growth seems to signal its success, it is questionable whether such success is as enduring as the FSM's, or if it is leading to a different result. While CC champions the author's freedom to decide how to use his or her bundle of property rights granted by copyright law, the FSM advocates the freedom to build and live in an alternative, vital and self- sustaining community. The existence of such an alternative model not only allows these particular participants to be independent from the proprietary world, but also may empower the rest of society to imagine different kinds of relationships between human beings and their creative activities.}, DOI = {10.2304/pfie.2006.4.4.337}, ISSN = {1478-2103}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000213389500003}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000488885100008, Author = {Hidalgo, Victor and Luo, XianWu and Escaler, Xavier and Yu, An and Valencia, Esteban}, Book-Group-Author = {ASME}, Title = {STUDY OF PARTIAL CAVITATION ON A PLANE-CONVEX HYDROFOIL WITH MESH DEVELOPMENT BY USING GMSH FREE SOFTWARE}, Booktitle = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASME/JSME/KSME JOINT FLUIDS ENGINEERING CONFERENCE, 2015, VOL 2A: FORA, PT 2}, Year = {2016}, Note = {ASME-JSME-KSME Joint Fluids Engineering Conference (AJK-FED), Seoul, SOUTH KOREA, JUL 26-31, 2015}, Organization = {ASME, Fluids Engn Div; JSME; KSME}, Abstract = {Commercial programs are widely used to do unstructured and structured meshes for CFD simulations.

Specifically, the Structure from Motion (SfM) is an emerging topographic survey technique that addresses the problem of determining the 3D position of image descriptors to estimate three-dimensional structures. Thanks to the potential of SfM algorithm and the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that allow the ondemand acquisition of high-resolution aerial images, it is possible to survey extended areas of the Earth surface and monitor active phenomena through multi-temporal surveys. However, the ability to detect remote and wide areas with a very high-resolution is countered by the need to capture large datasets which can limit the photogrammetric process, due to the need for high-performance hardware. This paper presents a photogrammetric workflow based on Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS), which is able to return different outputs and to manage a large amount of data in reasonable time, through the distribution of the most computationally expensive steps on computing clusters hosted by the ReCaS-Bari data center for scientific research. The results are given in terms of performance evaluations based on different computing configurations of the clusters and setups of the steps of the workflow. The HTC cluster test with a parallel SSH approach involved an important reduction of several hours in the processing time of thousands UAV images, especially compared to classic photogrammetric process on a single workstation with commercial software.

In this article, we test different associations of software to make a comparison between free software and market solutions. In this experiment, 24 students in a Master's Degree course aimed to design mechanical products by using software to assist collaborative distributed design, using two different configurations.

Appropriate plaque control is therefore important. Dental floss is one instrument used to control plaque. The influence of guardians is an important factor in whether children use dental floss regularly. However, the use of dental floss among school-age children and the relationship between use and family background has yet to be examined. Aim: In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey to examine rates of dental floss use and other related factors among elementary school children and their guardians. Methods: Surveys were sent to 298 guardians of children in grades 1-6 at an elementary school in Japan and 283 valid responses were received. Statistical analyses were carried out, with child's use of dental floss as a dependent variable and grade, sex, guardian assistance with child's tooth brushing, frequency of child's dental check-ups, and guardian's use of dental floss as independent variables. Results: The results revealed that 18.4\% of children used dental floss compared with 52.7\% of guardians, suggesting that the rate of usage among children is much lower than that among guardians. Logistic regression analysis further revealed that guardian's use of dental floss was significantly related to dental floss use among children. Conclusion: The guardian's use of dental floss was associated with dental floss use among their children in this group of Japanese elementary school. (C) 2019 Japanese Society of Pediatric Dentistry.

In our research, we present Sherlock, a novel Content-Based Searching (CoBS) framework. Sherlock enhances search capabilities by using extra information from images and documents, incorporating this information into an Elasticsearch-powered database to enable content-driven searches. The framework operates through a two-stage process. First, it classifies the incoming data by type, directing images to an object detection model and processing documents for keyword extraction. Then, Elasticsearch catalogs the extracted data, facilitating searches based on content. The effectiveness of our searches is largely dependent on the precision of these models, which we improve by training them on large-scale datasets: the Microsoft COCO Dataset for multimedia content and the SemEval2017 Dataset for text documents. We further test our system's performance by integrating it with the open-source OSS, OpenStack Swift, and conducting real-world experiments with image uploads to evaluate how our model performs within Swift's object storage environments.}, DOI = {10.1109/ACCESS.2024.3401074}, ISSN = {2169-3536}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Islam, A.

The online fragment-free mass spectra of moxa floss pyrolysis products were obtained within 300-800degree celsius and characterized as hydrocarbons, nitrogenous and oxygenated compounds. The results indicate that pyrolysis temperature plays a leading role in the lowmolecular-weight product distribution, while the storage year has secondary effects. Controlling the pyrolysis temperature in a lower range (<650degree celsius) can effectively reduce the generation of benzene, toluene and other harmful substances. Aromatics could be released from the break of large molecules with aromatic structures and formed from the aromatization of small unstructured compounds at high temperatures. At the temperature lower than 400 degree celsius, short-year samples exhibit a higher intensity of oxygenated compounds. However, with the increase of storage years, nitrogenous heterocyclics such as pyrrole and pyridine are preferably formed at higher temperatures. In addition, increasing the storage year of moxa floss leads the TG curve to exhibit a lower maximum mass loss rate. These results will enrich the understanding of the storage year effect on the beneficial oxygencontaining components generation and the release of harmful components in the moxa floss pyrolysis.}, DOI = {10.1016/j.jaap.2023.106271}, EarlyAccessDate = {DEC 2023}, Article-Number = {106271}, ISSN = {0165-2370}, EISSN = {1873-250X}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Wang, Du/LBI-4053-2024 tian, zhen yu/B-3129-2012 }, ORCID-Numbers = {tian, zhen yu/0000-0003-1497-3762 Wang, Du/0000-0003-4494-4612}, Unique-ID = {WOS:001128479200001}, } @article{ WOS:000431814500005, Author = {Zhang, Xuelin and Niu, Qingyuan and Guo, Yaqing and Gao, Xiyan and Gao, Kezheng}, Title = {Heteroatom-doped porous carbons derived from moxa floss of different storage years for supercapacitors}, Journal = {RSC ADVANCES}, Year = {2018}, Volume = {8}, Number = {30}, Pages = {16433-16443}, Abstract = {Two novel carbons (MCs) derived from moxa floss of different storage years have been prepared by two low-cost and facile approaches, which are hydrothermal carbonization at a low temperature (200 degrees C) and direct pyrolysis at a moderate temperature (500 degrees C) followed by potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation strategy at a high temperature (800 degrees C), respectively. The physicochemical properties of MCs are investigated by Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Results show that MCs derived from moxa floss of different storage years by two facile approaches possess different morphologies: MCs by hydrothermal carbonization (denoted as MC-1, MC-2 and MC-3) exhibit porous nanosheet structures, the highest specific surface area is about 1788.6 m(2) g(-1), and the largest total pore volumes is around 0.8170 cm(3) g(-1), while MCs by direct pyrolysis (denoted as MC-4, MC-5 and MC-6) have basically blocky and rod-like morphologies, the highest specific surface area is about 1628.0 m(2) g(-1), and the largest total pore volume is around 0.7058 cm(3) g(-1). However, despite the different morphologies, all MCs possess a similar hierarchical porous structure, numerous heteroatom groups and good electrical conductivity. Therefore, these low-cost, biomass-derived porous carbons with promising capacitive performance are used for supercapacitors application with high performance, for example, the as-assembled supercapacitor based on MC-5 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 288.3 F g(-1) at 0.25 A g(-1), an excellent rate performance of 243.5 F g(-1) even at 30 A g(-1) with 84.5\% capacitance retention of its initial specific capacitance, and an outstanding long-term cycling stability with 98.7\% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g(-1). Furthermore, the maximum energy density for these supercapacitors with an aqueous electrolyte in a two-electrode system is about 10.0 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 70.3 W kg(-1). Therefore, this work opens up a whole new field for the applications of moxa floss and this novel concept of moxa floss use is an extremely promising strategy for developing high-performance carbons with porous structures and heteroatom-doping from renewable sources.}, DOI = {10.1039/c8ra01672k}, EISSN = {2046-2069}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000431814500005}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000250405400054, Author = {Ohk, Kyunghwa and Kim, Deokhan}, Book-Group-Author = {IEEE}, Title = {The cost effective, efficient integrated-view solution: Identification \& personalization for OSS created contents}, Booktitle = {2007 10TH IFIP/IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT (IM 2009), VOLS 1 AND 2}, Year = {2007}, Pages = {527+}, Note = {10th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management, Munich, GERMANY, MAY 21-25, 2007}, Organization = {IFIP; IEEE}, Abstract = {KTF(KT Freetel) is the mobile service provider in Korea.

The development of DCM is accompanied by numerous pathological mechanisms, including oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the effects of the sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) inhibitor OSS-128167 on DCM using a mouse model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes and high glucose (HG)-treated cardiomyocytes. C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with STZ for 5 days to simulate the diabetic cardiomyopathy model. Mice with STZ-induced diabetes (STZ-DM1) were orally administered OSS-128167 (20 or 50 mg/kg) through gavage every other day. The expression of SIRT6 in myocardial tissue was detected using western blotting. Tissue staining (hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome) was used to characterize myocardial structure, TUNEL fluorescent staining was used to detect myocardial apoptosis, and immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors in myocardial tissue. Dihydroethidium staining and a malondialdehyde (MDA) detection kit were used to detect the oxidative stress levels in myocardial tissues. In vitro, H9c2 cells were pre-incubated with OSS-128167 for 1 h and then stimulated with HG (33 mM) for various durations. Expression levels of fibrosis markers, collagen-1 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, apoptosis-related proteins, Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved-poly ADP-ribose polymerase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and the oxidative stress metabolite, 3-nitrotyrosine were analyzed using western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Commercially available kits were used to detect the activity of caspase-3 and the content of MDA in the H9c2 cell line. The corresponding results demonstrated that OSS-128167 aggravated diabetes-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis in mice. Mechanistically, OSS-128167 was revealed to increase the levels of inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, OSS-128167 facilitated the inflammatory response and promoted the production of ROS while aggravating DCM development. These findings indicated that SIRT6 may target two closely combined and interacting pathological processes, the inflammatory response and oxidative stress, and may serve as a potentially advantageous therapeutic target.}, DOI = {10.3892/mmr.2021.12006}, Article-Number = {367}, ISSN = {1791-2997}, EISSN = {1791-3004}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {lei, zhang/AAG-9490-2020}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000631914700001}, } @article{ WOS:001004226300001, Author = {Mumtaz, Haris and Singh, Paramvir and Blincoe, Kelly}, Title = {Identifying refactoring opportunities for large packages by analyzing maintainability characteristics in Java OSS}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE}, Year = {2023}, Volume = {202}, Month = {AUG}, Abstract = {The source code of a Java-based software system is often structured into packages. When packages are large, they often carry maintainability quality issues. In the literature, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the specific maintainability issues that occur when packages become too large. Our study fills this gap by performing relationship analysis of package size with respect to internal maintainability characteristics (coupling, cohesion, and complexity) using package-level metrics collected from 111 open-source Java projects provided in Qualitas Corpus. Our results show significantly higher main-tainability issues in large packages as indicated by the maintainability metrics. We also report strong relationships of package size with cohesion (represented by the number of connected components in a package) and complexity (measured by the number of internal relationships in a package). Based on these strong associations with package size, we show that these cohesion and complexity metrics can be used to identify large package refactoring opportunities. Furthermore, we also discuss why some maintainability metrics (e.g., coupling metrics) may not be useful for refactoring large packages.Editor's note: Open Science material was validated by the Journal of Systems and Software Open Science Board.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Many studies point out that most bugs that adversely affect the user's experience across versions of FLOSS projects are longlived bugs. However, proposed approaches that support bug fixing procedures do not consider the real-world lifecycle of a bug, in which bugs are often fixed very fast. This may lead to useless efforts to automate the bug management process. Objective: This study aims to confirm whether the number of long-lived bugs is significantly high in popular open-source projects and to characterize the population of long-lived bugs by considering the attributes of bug reports. We also aim to conduct a comparative study evaluating the prediction accuracy of five well-known machine learning algorithms and text mining techniques in the task of predicting long-lived bugs. Methods: We collected bug reports from six popular open-source projects repositories (Eclipse, Freedesktop, Gnome, GCC, Mozilla, and WineHQ) and used the following machine learning algorithms to predict long-lived bugs: K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, Neural Networks, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machines. Results: Our results show that long-lived bugs are relatively frequent (varying from 7.2\% to 40.7\%) and have unique characteristics, confirming the need to study solutions to support bug fixing management. We found that the Neural Network classifier yielded the best results in comparison to the other algorithms evaluated. Conclusion: Research efforts regarding long-lived bugs are needed and our results demonstrate that it is possible to predict long-lived bugs with a high accuracy (around 70.7\%) despite the use of simple prediction algorithms and text mining methods.}, DOI = {10.1016/j.infsof.2020.106508}, EarlyAccessDate = {JAN 2021}, Article-Number = {106508}, ISSN = {0950-5849}, EISSN = {1873-6025}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Torres, Ricardo/C-4526-2012 }, ORCID-Numbers = {cortes, mario/0000-0002-3891-1593}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000614249900014}, } @article{ WOS:001150965400001, Author = {Sanchez-Diaz, Simon and Elkoun, Said and Robert, Mathieu}, Title = {Thermal Insulation Properties of Milkweed Floss Nonwovens: Influence of Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Fiber Content}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF COMPOSITES SCIENCE}, Year = {2024}, Volume = {8}, Number = {1}, Month = {JAN}, Abstract = {This study investigated the influence of fiber content, temperature, and relative humidity on the thermal insulation properties of nonwoven mats made of seed fibers from Asclepias Syriaca, commonly known as milkweed floss. Nonwoven mats with a 1-inch thickness were produced by uniformly arranging milkweed fibers within a mold. Various quantities of fiber were employed to obtain nonwoven mats with a fiber content ranging from 5 to 35 kg/m3. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were measured across diverse relative humidity levels and temperatures. Simultaneously, milkweed floss samples were exposed to identical environmental conditions to assess the moisture regain and specific heat capacities of the fiber. The specific heat capacity of milkweed and thermal conductivity of the nonwovens exhibited a linear increase with temperature. The thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the nonwovens decreased with rising fiber content. The thermal insulation properties of the nonwovens remained partially stable below 30\% relative humidity but substantially deteriorated at higher levels. The nonwovens exhibited optimal thermal insulation properties at a fiber content between 20 and 25 kg/m3. The results of this study highlighted several technical advantages of employing milkweed floss as a sustainable and lightweight solution for thermal insulation.}, DOI = {10.3390/jcs8010016}, Article-Number = {16}, ISSN = {2504-477X}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Sanchez-Diaz, Simon/LJL-0975-2024 Elkoun, Said/AAX-1206-2020 }, ORCID-Numbers = {elkoun, said/0000-0003-0501-6872 Sanchez Diaz, Simon/0000-0001-5315-6322}, Unique-ID = {WOS:001150965400001}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000931944600056, Author = {Jiang, Sha and Cao, Jian and Prasad, Mukesh}, Editor = {Sun, Y and Lu, T and Yu, Z and Fan, H and Gao, L}, Title = {The Metrics to Evaluate the Health Status of OSS Projects Based on Factor Analysis}, Booktitle = {COMPUTER SUPPORTED COOPERATIVE WORK AND SOCIAL COMPUTING, CHINESECSCW 2019}, Series = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, Year = {2019}, Volume = {1042}, Pages = {723-737}, Note = {14th CCF Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing, Kunming, PEOPLES R CHINA, AUG 16-18, 2019}, Organization = {China Comp Fed, Tech Comm on Cooperative Comp, Kunming Univ of Sci and Technology}, Abstract = {As open-source software (OSS) development is becoming a trend, an increasing number of businesses and developers are joining OSS projects. For project managers, developers and users, understanding the current health status of a project is very important to manage a development process, select the open-source projects to development or to adopt the software packages developed by projects. Therefore, an efficient approach to evaluate the health status of the open-source project is needed. Unfortunately, although many approaches including metrics have been proposed, they are designed in arbitrary ways. In this paper, a math ematical tool, i.e., factor analysis, is used to build a health evaluation model for OSS projects. As far as we know, this is the first time that factor analysis has been applied to evaluate OSS projects. This model is based on GitHub data and uses the basic indexes that are closely related to the health status of the projects as the input. Then, six new synthetic metrics, namely community activity, project popularity, development activity, completeness, responsiveness and persistence are obtained through factor analysis, which can be used to calculate the overall health score of a project. Moreover, in order to verify the effectiveness of this model, it is applied to some real projects and the results show that the overall scores achieved by this model can reflect the health status of the projects.}, DOI = {10.1007/978-981-15-1377-0\_56}, ISSN = {1865-0929}, EISSN = {1865-0937}, ISBN = {978-981-15-1377-0; 978-981-15-1376-3}, ORCID-Numbers = {Prasad, Mukesh/0000-0002-7745-9667}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000931944600056}, } @article{ WOS:000794658000001, Author = {Tamura, Yoshinobu and Yamada, Shigeru}, Title = {Prototype of 3D Reliability Assessment Tool Based on Deep Learning for Edge OSS Computing}, Journal = {MATHEMATICS}, Year = {2022}, Volume = {10}, Number = {9}, Month = {MAY}, Abstract = {We focus on an estimation method based on deep learning in terms of fault correction time for the operation reliability assessment of open-source software (OSS) under the environment of an edge computing service.

Increasingly complex simulations are used to assess similarities and differences between the two models' components. The simulations presented here are forced by ocean currents from a Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) implementation that has excellent skill in representing tidal motion, and with observed wind data that compensates for a coarse vertical ocean model resolution. The comprehensive comparison between GNOME and BLOSOM presented here, should aid modelers in interpreting their results. Beyond many similarities, aspects where both models are distinct are highlighted. Some suggestions for improvement are included, e.g., the inclusion of temporal interpolation of the forcing fields (BLOSOM) or the inclusion of a deflection angle option when parameterizing wind-driven processes (GNOME). Overall, GNOME and BLOSOM perform similarly, and are found to be complementary oil spill models. This paper also sheds light on what drove the historical Point Wells spill, and serves the additional purpose of being a learning resource for those interested in oil spill modeling. The increasingly complex approach used for the comparison is also used, in parallel, to illustrate the approach an oil spill modeler would typically follow when trying to hindcast or forecast an oil spill, including detailed technical information on basic aspects, like choosing a computational time step. We discuss our successful hindcast of the 2003 Point Wells oil spill that, to our knowledge, had remained unexplained. The oil spill models' solutions are compared to the historical Point Wells' oil trajectory, in time and space, as determined from overflight information. Our hindcast broadly replicates the correct locations at the correct times, using accurate tide and wind forcing. While the choice of wind coefficient we use is unconventional, a simplified analytic model supported by observations, suggests that it is justified under this study's circumstances.

In her novels she searched for a view of life that would give modern man a sense of purpose, dignity and ethical direction. On reading Eliot's novels with the knowledge of her intellectual development, one must ask how this earnest agnostic could treat traditional religion so sympathetically, why she made the religious experience the subject of her creative work, and what moral truth she found religion to embody. It was the philosophy of the German anthropologist Ludwig Feuerbach, whose book The Essence of Christianity she translated in 1854, in combination with her own earlier experiences as a Christian, which led Eliot to her understanding of the subjective reality embodied in Christianity. `With the ideas of Feuerbach,' Eliot wrote, `I everywhere agree' (Haight, 1954-55, p.153). My paper attempts to show how the influence of Feuerbach achieves complexity and vitality in Eliot's novel The Mill on the Floss and how Eliot establishes her faith in firm and lasting relations, which could be attained through the adjustment of the individual to the community.

However, maximizing the innovation capability of a sponsored OSS community is a challenging task since firms cannot rely on traditional hierarchical authority to control community members. Furthermore, a firm's efforts to manage its sponsored community may also impact the firm's absorptive capacity, or its ability to effectively absorb and leverage the valuable knowledge created by the community. Thus, the purpose of this article is to investigate two research questions: 1) How does the boundary management of a firm-sponsored OSS community impact the community's innovation capacity? and 2) How does the boundary management of a firm-sponsored OSS community impact the firm's absorptive capacity? Using the results from our qualitative analysis of eZ Systems and its successfully sponsored OSS community - eZ Publish we develop a theoretical model depicting how the boundary management of a firm-sponsored OSS community influences both the community's innovation capacity and the absorptive capacity of the firm.

There is one degree in Renewable Energy Engineering given at the Gipuzkoa Faculty of Engineering (Eibar). In the last year of their studies, students, can select one subject on Ocean Energy. In this subject, state-of-the-art operation and management techniques are taught to the students. Apart from the transmission of this knowlegde, the focus is practical and is based on hands-on computer real-life exercises, which involves not only intensive programming using a high-level software, but also the spatial representation of results. This is important because currently two major research and development lines can be identified as far as ocean energy is concerned. The first one is the analysis of prototypes that in the future will extensively extract electricity from wave farms. The second one is related to the resource itself, which implies the analysis and characterization of some ocean variables related to the extraction of energy. In many cases, the raw information on some oceanic variables of interest is available from institutions like the ECMWF http://www.ecmwf.int However a very extensive phase of data preprocessing is needed to extract useful information on wave energy potential. This will be an important task for future engineers involved in the spatial planning of oceanic energy facilities and in real-time forecasting and control of electricity obtained at wave farms. For this reason, students need to effectively learn to do all these tasks. R (https://www.cran.r-project.org/) is a freely available software that provides an optimum answer to these combined needs and teaching challenges due to its modular structure.

Thus, it is unique software that computes these tensor-based indices. These descriptors, establish relations for two, three, and four atoms by using several (dis) similarity metrics or multimetrics, matrix transformations, cutoffs, local calculations and aggregation operators. The theoretical background of these N-linear indices is also presented. The QuBiLS-MIDAS software was developed in the Java programming language and employs the Chemical Development Kit library for the manipulation of the chemical structures and the calculation of the atomic properties. This software is composed by a desktop user-friendly interface and an Abstract Programming Interface library. The former was created to simplify the configuration of the different options of the MDs, whereas the library was designed to allow its easy integration to other software for chemoinformatics applications. This program provides functionalities for data cleaning tasks and for batch processing of the molecular indices. In addition, it offers parallel calculation of the MDs through the use of all available processors in current computers. The studies of complexity of the main algorithms demonstrate that these were efficiently implemented with respect to their trivial implementation. Lastly, the performance tests reveal that this software has a suitable behavior when the amount of processors is increased. Therefore, the QuBiLS-MIDAS software constitutes a useful application for the computation of the molecular indices based on N-linear algebraic maps and it can be used freely to perform chemoinformatics studies.

To better understand OSS contributions from the developers of tomorrow, we conducted a four-year study with 1,361 students investigating the life cycle of their contributions (from project selection to pull request acceptance). During the study, we also delivered a lightweight intervention to promote the awareness of open source projects for social good (OSS4SG), OSS projects that have positive impacts in other domains.

Compared to general OSS projects, we find significant differences in project selection (p < 0.0001, effect size = 0.84), student motivation (p < 0.01, effect size = 0.13), and increased pull-request acceptance rates for OSS4SG contributions.

Meanwhile, it has been long known that individuals' early career stages profoundly impact their long-term career success. However, newcomers' early careers are less investigated in SE research. In this paper, we sought to develop an empirical understanding of the relationships between newcomers' dynamic contribution patterns in their early careers and their technical success. To achieve this goal, we compiled a dataset of newcomers' contribution data from 54 large OSS projects under three different ecosystems and analyzed it with time series analysis and other statistical analysis techniques. Our analyses yield rich findings. The correlations between several contribution patterns and technical success were identified. In general, being consistent and persistent in newcomers' early careers is positively associated with their technical success. While these correlations generally hold in all three ecosystems, we observed some differences in detailed contribution patterns correlated with technical success across ecosystems. In addition, we performed a case study to investigate whether another type of contributions, i.e., documentation contribution, could potentially have positive correlations with newcomers' technical success. We discussed the implications and summarized practical recommendations to OSS newcomers.

These findings challenge the conventional wisdom of research in distributed work, in cases where virtual teams consist of highly skilled and motivated individuals, who leverage the power of communication technologies to overcome problems associated with physical distance.}, ISSN = {0948-695X}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Giaglis, George/B-9705-2011 Spinellis, Diomidis/E-3600-2010}, ORCID-Numbers = {Giaglis, George/0000-0002-7824-633X Spinellis, Diomidis/0000-0003-4231-1897}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000314533500003}, } @article{ WOS:000482442800030, Author = {Tzouvaras, Marios and Kouhartsiouk, Dimitris and Agapiou, Athos and Danezis, Chris and Hadjimitsis, Diofantos G.}, Title = {The Use of Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Images and Open-Source Software for Cultural Heritage: An Example from Paphos Area in Cyprus for Mapping Landscape Changes after a 5.6 Magnitude Earthquake}, Journal = {REMOTE SENSING}, Year = {2019}, Volume = {11}, Number = {15}, Month = {AUG}, Abstract = {Active satellite remote sensors have emerged in the last years in the field of archaeology, providing new tools for monitoring extensive cultural heritage landscapes and areas. These active sensors, namely synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, provide systematic datasets for mapping land movements triggered from earthquakes, landslides, and so on. Copernicus, the European program for monitoring the environment, provides continuous radar datasets through the Sentinel-1 mission with an almost worldwide coverage. This paper aims to demonstrate how the use of open-access and freely distributed datasets such as those under the Copernicus umbrella, along with the exploitation of open-source radar processing software, namely the sentinel applications platform (SNAP) and SNAPHU tools, provided respectively by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the University of Stanford, can be used to extract an SAR interferogram in the wider area of Paphos, located in the western part of Cyprus. The city includes various heritage sites and monuments, some of them already included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. The interferogram was prepared to study the effects of an earthquake to the buildings and sites of the area. The earthquake of a 5.6 magnitude on the Richter scale was triggered on 15 April 2015 and was strongly felt throughout the whole island. The interferogram results were based on Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (D-InSAR) methodology, finding a maximum uplift of 74 mm and a maximum subsidence of 31 mm.

However, as argued in this paper, the process of this vertical disintegration may be affected by high investments to software interface implementation and maintenance. Should the required efforts be large, the threshold for entering the market increases, thereby hampering the vertical disintegration process. This study examines the impact of the interface implementation efforts on the vertical market evolution in the case of the so-called operations support systems and business support systems (OSS/BSS) software, which are employed by the telecom operators in order to support their daily operations. The efforts are compared for two prototypical software vendors serving incumbent operators and new operators respectively. Total efforts are an order of magnitude larger in the former case. Furthermore, even if only latest network protocols are taken into account, the efforts are significantly larger in the former case, therefore requiring several times greater number of employees to implement them. Therefore, a conclusion is made that the OSS/BSS market is likely to polarize into the vertical submarket of large software vendors serving incumbent operators, and the submarket of small vendors serving young operators. The latter submarket, due to the lower entry threshold for new vendors is more likely to be vertically disintegrated.}, ISBN = {978-989-8111-52-4}, ORCID-Numbers = {Tyrvainen, Pasi/0000-0001-7716-3244}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000258925900011}, } @article{ WOS:000315073200015, Author = {Torkar, Blaz}, Title = {ACTIVITY OF YUGOSLAV SECTIONS OF THE AMERICAN OFFICE OF STRATEGIC SERVICES (OSS) IN NORTH AFRICA AND SOUTHERN ITALY}, Journal = {ACTA HISTRIAE}, Year = {2012}, Volume = {20}, Number = {4}, Pages = {809-826}, Abstract = {From the outbreak of the war, the United States strove to establish a modern and efficient intelligence service. First, they founded the Coordination of Information (COI) and subsequently, the Office of Strategic Services - OSS), naming General William Donovan as head of both. Right from the establishment of OSS, Donovan wanted to expand its operations to North African and Mediterranean battlefields in order for the American intelligence service to be able to direct special operations against the Axis Powers in Yugoslavia from there. The setting up of the bases required a considerable amount of effort and negotiation with the British secret services, as they were used to defending their own interests and leading intelligence position in the Balkans and would not permit the OSS to operate independently in Yugoslavia. Donovan thus established bases in Cairo and Bari, with a Yugoslav section operating within each. The principal tasks of the two sections were to train the personnel to be sent to Yugoslavia, to gather intelligence about Yugoslavia, organise assistance and support for Yugoslav resistance movements and compile intelligence obtained by the OSS from its missions from the occupied Yugoslav territory. Aided initially by the government in exile and later on by Partisan representatives in southern Italy, the Yugoslav sections trained numerous Yugoslays many of who were Slovenes and sent them back to Yugoslavia. These worked as wireless operators, cryptographers and interpreters mostly between Slovene and Croatian Partisans. Some Slovenes, American Slovenes in particular, carried out the functions of mission chiefs or instructors in the Yugoslav sections of the OSS. Although collaborators with the American intelligence service made important contribution to the common struggle against the Axis Powers, they were branded by the Partisan leadership towards the end of the war and after it for having worked with the Americans. Following the Tehran Conference in December 1943, the supply of aid for the resistance movements was directed to support the Partisan movement. Towards the end of the war and with the growth of the National Liberation Movement (NOG) in Yugoslavia, the role of the Yugoslav section gradually diminished It can be concluded that the activities of the Yugoslav sections in Cairo and Bari significantly influenced the development of resistance movements in Yugoslavia and Slovenia, both in terms of organising aid as well as training and sending the American missions to Yugoslavia.}, ISSN = {1318-0185}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000315073200015}, } @article{ WOS:000404249100009, Author = {Marshall, Ann Herndon}, Title = {Act Natural: Dubious Proposals in The Mill on the Floss, The Pastor's Wife, Vera and Rebecca}, Journal = {WOMEN-A CULTURAL REVIEW}, Year = {2017}, Volume = {28}, Number = {1-2, SI}, Pages = {115-129}, Abstract = {Following George Eliot, Elizabeth von Arnim showcases a male rhetoric of naturalness.

Darwin is misappropriated by the tyrannical Wemyss: evolutionary theories support his imperious dismissal of Lucy's aunt and friends.

Wemyss brings up the issue of England's inheritance, and a disturbing vision dawns as the philistine and self-appointed natural man subdues Lucy.

The RSS was scoured firstly in strongly alkaline electrolyzed water (SAEW, pH >= 11.5) consisting mainly of hydroxyl ions by boiling for 30 min and then treated by the traditional scouring procedure (without alkaline compounds), resulting in refined silk floss. The recycled SAEW containing sericin was separated by ultrafiltration into a retentate with a range of high molecular mass values accounting for 10\% (w/w) of the cocoon shell and the filtrate was separated by nanofiltration into a purified H2O filtrate and a retentate containing oligopeptides and free amino acids, which can be used directly as food additives or in biological growth media. The ultrafiltration retentate was hydrolyzed by papain under three different conditions into three groups of sericin peptides with high, middle or low molecular mass. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel permeation high-performance liquid chromatography (GP-HPLC) showed the molecular mass of these sericin peptides was in the range 0.2-60, 0.2 -30 and 0.2-15 kDa. These clean products have a variety of applications, including coating materials for surface modification, cell culture media and food additives. The procedure described here could be applied to the manufacture of silk floss quilts and the process of refining raw silk, which results in three clean products of the silk protein fibroin (i.e. stripped of sericin) and reduces environmental pollution from scouring waste containing sericin.

Ecological compensation aims to recover those ecological functions and natural values that still remain affected after maximum effort has been made to reduce the impact of the intervention (mitigation). The accepted aim of current policy is thus no-net-loss of area and quality by means of mitigative and compensatory measures. As part sf the planning process for construction of a stretch of road in The Netherlands, viz,, the A50 road link in the province of North Brabant, a Nature Compensation Plan (NCP) was required to be drawn up. This work has recently been completed by the Regional Directorate of Public Works and Water Management, the initiator of the intervention. The NCP, initially presented as a Draft Plan, was drawn up by the Regional Directorate using a preliminary method designed by the Centre of Environmental Science of Leiden University for deriving compensatory measures. After an opportunity for public comment, the Draft Plan was revised to form a Final NCP. This article describes, firstly, the preliminary method for deriving ecological compensatory measures. The method starts by quantifying the effects of habitat loss, habitat disturbance (by changes in noise emissions, in the water table and in outdoor recreational patterns), barrier action and fauna casualties. Following mitigation of impacts on nature, compensation for non-mitigable effects focuses successively on area size, derived from the impact on breeding birds, and on area quality, derived from the habitat requirements of the vegetation and fauna groups affected by the road. Guidelines for identifying appropriate locations for compensation are also formulated. Secondly, the compensation method is applied to calculate the mitigative and compensatory measures for the A50 trajectory between Eindhoven and Oss. Thirdly, two comparisons are made: the Draft NCP is compared with the results of the preliminary method, and the Draft and the Final NCP are compared with one another in order to identify the role of the interest groups that played a major role in commenting on the Draft Plan. Finally, realization of the compensatory measures and development of the preliminary method itself are discussed. On the basis of the experience with the A50 case study, a more robust compensation method for road projects is to be developed.}, DOI = {10.1016/S0925-8574(96)00024-9}, ISSN = {0925-8574}, Unique-ID = {WOS:A1996VW81100006}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000280756100017, Author = {Ngeleza, Bangani and Mkhize, Peter and Lubbe, Sam}, Editor = {Politis, J}, Title = {The Application of an Organic Model for Strategic Management to FOSS Migration Within the South African Public Sector}, Booktitle = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE 5TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE}, Year = {2009}, Pages = {133-140}, Note = {5th European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance, Athens, GREECE, NOV 05-06, 2009}, Organization = {Hellen Amer Univ}, Abstract = {The South African Government adopted a policy for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) migration in the public sector in 2003.

Although the question has been identified as an interesting problem by the software community in online forums, it has not been investigated yet in adequate depth and scale, since the process of identifying the exact point in time when a vulnerability was introduced is particularly cumbersome. In this paper, we provide an automatic approach for accurately estimating how long vulnerabilities remain in the code (their lifetimes). Our method relies on the observation that while it is difficult to pinpoint the exact point of introduction for one vulnerability, it is possible to accurately estimate the average lifetime of a large enough sample of vulnerabilities, via a heuristic approach. With our approach, we perform the first large-scale measurement of Free and Open Source Software vulnerability lifetimes, going beyond approaches estimating lower bounds prevalent in previous research. We find that the average lifetime of a vulnerability is around 4 years, varying significantly between projects (similar to 2 years for Chromium, similar to 7 years for OpenSSL). The distribution of lifetimes can be approximately described by an exponential distribution. There are no statistically significant differences between the lifetimes of different vulnerability types when considering specific projects. Vulnerabilities are getting older, as the average lifetime of fixed vulnerabilities in a given year increases over time, influenced by the overall increase of code age. However, they live less than non-vulnerable code, with an increasing spread over time for some projects, suggesting a notion of maturity that can be considered an indicator of quality. While the introduction of fuzzers does not significantly reduce the lifetimes of memory-related vulnerabilities, further research is needed to better understand and quantify the impact of fuzzers and other tools on vulnerability lifetimes and on the security of codebases.}, ISBN = {978-1-939133-31-1}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000855237500021}, } @article{ WOS:A1946XX04000003, Author = {TIMMONS, FL}, Title = {STUDIES OF THE DISTRIBUTION AND FLOSS YIELD OF COMMON MILKWEED (ASCLEPIAS-SYRIACA L) IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN}, Journal = {ECOLOGY}, Year = {1946}, Volume = {27}, Number = {3}, Pages = {212-225}, Abstract = {Studies made Sept. 15 to Nov. 6, 1943, in a 12-county area in northern Michigan showed the factors most strongly influencing the stand density and pod yield of common milkweed, A. syriaca, to be degree of competition from quackgrass or bluegrass; shading in and adjacent to wooded areas; and the time and intensity of cultivation in cropland areas. Within wide limits topography and soil type, texture, and fertility seemed to be of minor importance, although milkweed appeared to grow best on well drained lighter soils of average to high fertility and was never found on poorly drained or highly acid soils. Milkweed appeared to find its most favorable environment on recently abandoned row-crop land and on recently cut-over stump land in situations where a sod of quackgrass or bluegrass had not been established. In Emmet County, probably the most densely infested county in the U.

In an additional model stage (FLEMOps+), the effects of private precautionary measures as well as of the contamination of the floodwater can be quantified. Together with census data and land use information the model is adapted for applications on the meso-scale. Further, different data sets of repair costs for single buildings and in whole municipalities were used to validate loss estimates on the micro- as well as on the meso-scale.

However, the mathematical solution of the 3D forward intersection with the analytical definition of spatial lines, resolved by the Minimum Distances Method, is still not widespread in the academic and professional environment. This mathematical modeling determines the 3D coordinates of a point located in the middle of the minimum distance between two or more spatial lines, which spatially ``intersect{''} towards the observation point. This solution is more accurate than others presented in the literature because it simultaneously solves the problem of 3D determination of a point by the method of least squares, in addition to providing an estimate of the coordinate precision, which are inherent to the adjustment. This work, therefore, has the objective of explaining the Minimum Distances Method for the spatial intersection of targeted measurements with a Total Station from two or more known observation points for the 3D determination of inaccessible points located in corners of buildings. For the analysis of the method, a Python tool was developed for QGIS that calculates the 3D coordinates and generates the adjustment processing report, being applied with real observations of the Geodetic survey of the SUDENE building, in Recife-PE.

Despite this, a significant number of projects, dissertations and theses in the area of bridges, especially in graduate courses, still do not use it in the analysis of life loads in bridge beams. In this sense, this project aims to encourage the use of Ftool to carry out structural analysis in beams of bridge beams, whether in determining the respective lines of influence or internal efforts; so that graduate students and researchers start to use it in their respective projects. Four numerical examples are developed and each one uses paid software, SAP2000, Ansys or GAP-GEL v1, and the results are compared with Ftool. In all examples, the variations in the results are less than 9\%, in the worst case, but in most of them, this variation is less than 3\%. These differences can be considered as acceptable, since, later, different coefficients are applied. Finally, the Ftool proved to be effective and robust, with reliable results and, therefore, recommended for the determination of the different internal and TTL efforts in the beams, due to different live loads acting on bridge decks composed of two, three, seven and eight beams.

Without such support, some projects might discontinue to develop, or even disappear. However, contributions to those foundations are usually solicited in a very simple and modest way, with no special promotions or attractions for such contributions. The aim of this study is to promote new strategies that can help to increase donations to OSS projects. We analyzed how existing donation pages are structured. We then introduce behavioral economics and psychological theories that have been used in other disciplines to promote donations in OSS. In particular, we used the social proof theory, i.e., where people tend to consider the actions of others in an attempt to reflect correct behavior when they choose their own actions, and legitimization of paltry contributions strategy i.e., using specific phrases such as ``even a very small amount will help{''} to encourage donations. In this study, we conducted an experiment with University students to examine if those theories are effective in encouraging donations to OSS. Our initial results indicate that the two strategies were indeed effective in promoting donations, and showed that users were more open for donation compared to traditional methods. This is only a preliminary analysis - we aim to include more users in the future for a more comprehensive analysis. We anticipate that such techniques might help OSS projects to secure more donations in the future.}, DOI = {10.1109/saner.2019.8667974}, ISBN = {978-1-7281-0591-8}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Tsunoda, Masateru/ABF-3437-2021}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000469754100065}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000274260900075, Author = {Tanaka, Tomoaki and Tamura, Yoshinobu and Yamada, Shigeru}, Editor = {Pham, H and Nakagawa, T}, Title = {STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION MODELING BASED ON COMPONENT IMPORTANCE LEVELS AND OPTIMAL VERSION-UPGRADE PROBLEM FOR OSS}, Booktitle = {15TH ISSAT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RELIABILITY AND QUALITY IN DESIGN, PROCEEDINGS}, Year = {2009}, Pages = {372+}, Note = {15th ISSAT International Conference on Reliability and Quality in Design, San Francisco, CA, AUG 06-08, 2009}, Abstract = {The current software development environment has been changing into new development paradigms such as concurrent distributed development environment and so-called open source project by using network computing technologies.

The goal of this tutorial is to disseminate skills in structure-based drug design and to allow others to unleash their own creativity to design new drugs to fight the current pandemic. The tutorial begins with the X-ray crystallographic structure of the main protease (M-pro) of the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) bound to a peptide substrate and then uses the UCSF Chimera software to modify the substrate to create a cyclic peptide inhibitor within the M-pro active site. Finally, the tutorial uses the molecular docking software AutoDock Vina to show the interaction of the cyclic peptide inhibitor with both SARS-CoV M-pro and the highly homologous SARS-CoV-2 M-pro. The supporting information provides an illustrated step-by-step protocol, as well as a video showing the inhibitor design process, to help readers design their own drug candidates for COVID-19 and the coronaviruses that will cause future pandemics.

Six months later at the abutment connection, it was realized that 1 of the implants could not be reconstructed due to unfavorable positioning. This implant was removed along with a small portion of the surrounding periimplant tissues. The specimen was processed according to standard techniques for hard tissue histology. In both the grafted area and the previously existing area of the sinus floor the bone was primarily of lamellar structure. Intimate contact between newly formed bone and the particles of the graft was present. No overt signs of resorption of the graft particles were visible. Histomorphometric analysis revealed 63\% of implant-bone contact in the zone of pre-existing bone, and 73\% in the grafted zone. The area density of bone amounted to 27\% in the non-grafted as compared to 28\% in the grafted area.

The novel's return to an earlier stage in the development of capital places the 1830s of the story in dialogue with the 1860s of its narration, while inviting readers to compare the values of this earlier period to those of their own. Considering this comparative structure in relation to nineteenth-century ethnography and its interlocutors-including Auguste Comte, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Karl Marx-I read Edward Tulliver's primitive materialism and the Dodson sisters' fetishism as both humorous reactions and more earnest forms of resistance to this increasing abstraction. Eliot ultimately turns toward the figurative possibilities of sublimation as a way to bridge the concrete and the abstract, the particular and the general, will and affect, self and other.

Methods Five beagle dogs were used. Four premolars in the mandible (P-3(3), P-4(4)) were hemi-sected, the distal roots were removed and the fresh extraction socket filled with Bio-Oss (R) Collagen. The mucosa was mobilized and the extraction site was closed with interrupted sutures. The tooth extraction and grafting procedures were scheduled in such a way that biopsies representing 1 and 3 days, as well as 1, 2 and 4 weeks of healing could be obtained. The dogs were euthanized and perfused with a fixative. Each experimental site, including the distal socket area, was dissected. The sites were decalcified in EDTA, and serial sections representing the central part of the socket were prepared in the mesio-distal plane and parallel with the long axis of the extraction socket. Sections were stained in hematoxylin and eosin and were used for the overall characteristics of the tissues in the extraction socket. In specimens representing 1, 2 and 4 weeks of healing the various tissue elements were assessed using a morphometric point counting procedure. Tissue elements such as cells, fibers, vessels, leukocytes and mineralized bone were determined. In deparaffinized sections structures and cells positive for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity (TRAP), alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin were identified. Results The biomaterial was first trapped in the fibrin network of the coagulum. Neutrophilic leukocytes {[}polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells] migrated to the surface of the foreign particles. In a second phase the PMN cells were replaced by multinuclear TRAP-positive cells (osteoclasts). The osteoclasts apparently removed material from the surface of the xenogeneic graft. When after 1-2 weeks the osteoclasts disappeared from the Bio-Oss (R) granules they were followed by osteoblasts that laid down bone mineral in the collagen bundles of the provisional matrix. In this third phase the Bio-Oss (R) particles became osseointegrated. Conclusions It was demonstrated that the incorporation of Bio-Oss (R) in the tissue that formed in an extraction wound involved a series of different processes.

While many laboratories have software that is used internally, reproducibility requires the availability of open-source software. Therefore, we here introduce the `SleepCycles' package for R, an open-source software package that identifies sleep cycles and their respective (non-) rapid eye movement ({[}N]REM) periods from sleep staging data. Additionally, each (N)REM period is subdivided into parts of equal duration (percentiles), which may be useful for further fine-grained analyses. The detection criteria used in the package are, with some adaptations, largely based on criteria originally proposed by Feinberg and Floyd (1979). The latest version of the package can be downloaded from the Comprehensive R Archives Network (CRAN). The package `SleepCycles' for R allows to identify sleep cycles and their respective NREM and REM periods from sleep staging results. Besides the cycle detection, NREM and REM periods are also split into parts of equal duration (percentiles) thereby allowing for a better temporal resolution across the night and comparisons of sleep cycles with different durations amongst different night recordings.

Bone tissue regeneration remains one of the most important issues of maxillofacial surgery. Restoration of the native structure of bone after osteoplasty is directly related to the process of revascularization, because the growing of blood vessels into the graft is a precondition for transport of osteogenic cells, growth factors necessary for further osteogenesis. Objectives. To determine the peculiarities of bone tissue regeneration after osteoplasty with BioOss (R) and compare it with autological bone graft. Material and Methods. Experimental study was conducted on 60 white rats (males, aged 6- 8 month, weight 270- 380 g). The area of dorsal surface of the shinbone was used for implantation. After opening access to the bone surface, one 2 mm-diameter defect was formed on each shinbone. One of those bone defects was filled with osteoplastic material and the opposite was healing under a blood clot. After that the wound in soft tissues was closed in layer by layer. The osteocalcin level in blood serum was determined by ELISA employing N-MID Osteocalcin (R) ELISA (IDS) test system(enzyme immunological test for the quantitative measurement of osteocalcin). The peculiarities of revascularization were studied by histologic method. Histologic specimen were stained using Schmorl technique (thionine with phenol trinitrate) and natural hematoxylin-eosin. Results. Mean values of osteocalcin concentration after BioOss implantation ranged from 2 +/- 0.06 ng/mL to 3.65 +/- 0.09 ng/mL; after autological bone graft transplant - from 1.88 +/- 0.09 ng/mLto 2.2 +/- 0.09 ng/mL. In the case of Bio-Oss use, the most active revascularization processes and the highest level of osteocalcin were registered on day 60. In the case of autological bone graft use, the quantity of blood vessels increased steadily and equally during the whole period of the experiment. Conclusions. According to the obtained results, the use of autological bone graft and Bio-Oss osteoplastic material increases bone formation and revascularization activity and improves the bone structure unlike when healing took place under the blood clot}, ISSN = {1644-387X}, EISSN = {2300-9020}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Paliy, Andriy/G-5205-2019}, ORCID-Numbers = {Paliy, Andriy/0000-0002-5550-640X}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000421047000005}, } @article{ WOS:000309230600004, Author = {Christophe, B. and Spilker, L.

OSS is an M-class mission to explore the Neptune system almost half a century after the flyby of the Voyager 2 spacecraft. Several discoveries were made by Voyager 2, including the Great Dark Spot (which has now disappeared) and Triton's geysers. Voyager 2 revealed the dynamics of Neptune's atmosphere and found four rings and evidence of ring arcs above Neptune. Benefiting from a greatly improved instrumentation, a mission as OSS would result in a striking advance in the study of the farthest planet of the solar system. Furthermore, OSS would provide a unique opportunity to visit a selected Kuiper Belt object subsequent to the passage of the Neptunian system. OSS would help consolidate the hypothesis of the origin of Triton as a Kuiper Belt object captured by Neptune, and to improve our knowledge on the formation of the solar system. The OSS probe would carry instruments allowing precise tracking of the spacecraft during the cruise. It would facilitate the best possible tests of the laws of gravity in deep space. These objectives are important for fundamental physics, as they test General Relativity, our current theoretical description of gravitation, but also for cosmology, astrophysics and planetary science, as General Relativity is used as a tool in all these domains. In particular, the models of solar system formation uses General Relativity to describe the crucial role of gravity. OSS is proposed as an international cooperation between ESA and NASA, giving the capability for ESA to launch an M-class mission towards the farthest planet of the solar system, and to a Kuiper Belt object. The proposed mission profile would allow to deliver a 500 kg class spacecraft. The design of the probe is mainly constrained by the deep space gravity test in order to minimize the perturbation of the accelerometer measurement.}, DOI = {10.1007/s10686-012-9309-y}, ISSN = {0922-6435}, EISSN = {1572-9508}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Stephan, Katrin/U-2524-2018 Cecconi, Baptiste/ABF-3912-2020 Banfield, Don/I-3523-2018 Postberg, Frank/AAE-6295-2019 Lamine, Brahim/J-8907-2012 Orton, Glenn/AAD-9862-2020 Saur, Joachim/V-6780-2019 Helbert, Jorn/P-1570-2019 Reynaud, Serge/J-8061-2014 Bertolami, Orfeu/AAH-7325-2021 Paramos, Jorge/J-3440-2013 Francisco, Frederico/J-1718-2012 Fletcher, Leigh/D-6093-2011 Gil, Paulo/B-7272-2012 Bingham, Robert/N-2042-2019 Laemmerzahl, Claus/P-3552-2016}, ORCID-Numbers = {Helbert, Jorn/0000-0001-5346-9505 Lamine, Brahim/0000-0002-9416-2320 Grundy, Will/0000-0002-8296-6540 Christophe, Bruno/0000-0001-8296-2219 Lenoir, Benjamin/0000-0003-4638-4751 Paramos, Jorge/0000-0001-9853-9431 Bertolami, Orfeu/0000-0002-7672-0560 Francisco, Frederico/0000-0003-3014-0963 Banfield, Don/0000-0003-2664-0164 Saur, Joachim/0000-0003-1413-1231 Fletcher, Leigh/0000-0001-5834-9588 Postberg, Frank/0000-0002-5862-4276 Cecconi, Baptiste/0000-0001-7915-5571 Sayanagi, Kunio/0000-0001-8729-0992 Gil, Paulo/0000-0003-2183-6221 Helled, Ravit/0000-0001-5555-2652 Bingham, Robert/0000-0002-9843-7635 Laemmerzahl, Claus/0000-0002-8276-5415}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000309230600004}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000625208504041, Author = {Peng, Gang and Yu, Feng and Peng, Yiqun}, Editor = {Bui, TX}, Title = {Co-membership, Networks Ties, and OSS Success: An Investigation Controlling for Alternative Mechanisms of Knowledge Flow}, Booktitle = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE 51ST ANNUAL HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES (HICSS)}, Year = {2018}, Pages = {4252-4260}, Note = {51st Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), HI, JAN 02-06, 2018}, Organization = {Pacific Res Inst Informat Syst \& Management; Shidler Coll Business; IBM; Bizgenics Fdn; Arizona Eller; AIS; Baylor Business Informat Syst; Int Soc Serv Innovat; St Johns Univ, Coll Profess Studies; Syracuse Univ, Sch Informat Stud}, Abstract = {Co-membership has been considered as a major mechanism for constructing social networks, but it has met many criticisms over time for failing to control for alternative mechanisms for knowledge flow.

This study investigates the impact of co-membership taking into account the alternative mechanism of watching under the setting of OSS development at GitHub. It finds that both co-membership and watching contribute positively to OSS success, and thus shows the co-existence of both experiential learning and vicarious learning for OSS development.

Since its introduction in 2011 the variant call format (VCF) has been widely adopted for processing DNA and RNA variants in practically all population studies-as well as in somatic and germline mutation studies. The VCF format can represent single nucleotide variants, multi-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and simple structural variants called and anchored against a reference genome.Here we present a spectrum of over 125 useful, complimentary free and open source software tools and libraries, we wrote and made available through the multiple vcflib, bio-vcf, cyvcf2, hts-nim and slivar projects. These tools are applied for comparison, filtering, normalisation, smoothing and annotation of VCF, as well as output of statistics, visualisation, and transformations of files variants. These tools run everyday in critical biomedical pipelines and countless shell scripts.

With the recent transition to a more risk-based approach in European flood management policy, flood analysis models have become an important part of flood risk management (FRM).

A geospatial model is an essential tool to address the European challenge for comprehensive and sustainable FRM because it allows for the use of integrated social and economic quantitative risk outcomes in a spatio-temporal domain. Moreover, a FOSS model can support governance processes using an interactive, transparent and collaborative approach, providing a meaningful experience that both promotes learning and generates knowledge through a process of guided discovery regarding flood risk management.

Comparing with model without enhanced structures, the average RMSE is decreased by 22.41\% when adding all the enhancement structures. Besides, temporal and spatial error analysis are also conducted to evaluate the models' performance from different aspects.

A typical procedure to create 3D printed splints is obtaining the geometry of a body segment using a 3D scanner, creating a 3D printable splint model based on the geometry of the body segment, and 3D printing the splint. As technologies of 3D scanning and 3D printing become mature gradually, the main challenge to fabricate 3D printed splint is to create 3D printable splint models. To solve this challenge, researchers have proposed various methods to design 3D splint models. However, most methods require extensive 3D modeling skills that medical professionals are lacking. In this work, a semi-automatic method is proposed to create a 3D printable model. Given the geometry of a body segment obtained through a 3D scanner, the method includes three key steps: (1) create a draft splint lattice structure, (2) optimize the splint structure, and (3) create a 3D printable model based on the optimized structure. All the software adopted for this method is free and readily available, and thus, there is no additional cost to convert from a scanned geometry of a body segment to a 3D printable splint model. Because the majority of the work is done automatically, with initial training, a medical professional should be able to create a 3D printable model using the proposed method, given the geometry of a body segment.

If oral hygiene practice is poor, plaque easily accumulates on the tooth surface, especially in interproximal areas. To maintain a good oral environment, it is mandatory to remove or at least reduce the percentage of plaque formation from the oral cavity. To achieve this, interdental aids should be used along with toothbrushes, as cleansing the teeth only with a toothbrush is not effective. Various interdental aids, like interdental brushes, floss, toothpicks, etc., are now available on the market. The objective of the current survey was to rate knowledge as well as make a comparison between the cleaning effectiveness of interdental brushes and interdental floss to determine which was better at reducing plaque accumulation and, subsequently, dental caries. The survey was accessed by measuring individual plaque and gingival index before and after using interdental cleaning aids.Methodology The objective of the survey was to evaluate and analyze the efficiency of interdental brushes and interdental floss in maintaining oral hygiene among orthodontic patients residing in the Vidarbha region. After receiving approval from the Ethical Committee DMIHER(DU)/IEC/2023/721, a study was conducted over a 30-day period, focusing on a group of 100 individuals aged between 15 and 30 years, and their assessments were analyzed. The patient was briefed about the study and asked to make use of an interdental brush and interdental floss. The gingival index and plaque index were calculated on the same patients before and after the use of the interdental brush and interdental floss to determine which was better at reducing plaque accumulation on the surface of teeth. Descriptive analysis, unpaired for intergroup comparison, and paired T-tests for intragroup comparison were used. The software used was SPSS 24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) and GraphPad Prism 7.0 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA).Result Everyone's tooth surfaces naturally develop a thin layer of plaque biofilm, but the presence of heavy plaque deposits on teeth indicates poor dental hygiene, which can lead to various oral health issues. Failure to improve dental hygiene status can result in problems such as halitosis, gingival issues, periodontal disease, and eventually tooth loss. Dentists play a crucial role in raising awareness about these concerns among their patients and providing education on effective oral care practices, including the use of interdental aids in conjunction with toothbrushes. When comparing the effectiveness of interdental brushes and dental floss in removing plaque, interdental brushes have been found to be more efficient. They not only excel in plaque removal but also contribute to a reduction in gingival problems. The statistical analysis supports this, with a significant p-value of less than 0.01 for both the plaque index and gingival index when using interdental brushes, indicating their superior performance in maintaining oral health.Conclusion The study will help every individual improve their oral hygiene status with the help of an interdental aid and a toothbrush. This will reduce the chances of having gingival and periodontal diseases and eventually reduce the risk of tooth loss.}, DOI = {10.7759/cureus.46191}, Article-Number = {e46191}, EISSN = {2168-8184}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Jadhav, Vikrant/AAA-4092-2021}, Unique-ID = {WOS:001089619400011}, } @article{ WOS:000371368500006, Author = {Kauer, Bruno and Schuetz, Jasper and Colussi, Paulo R.

Materials and Methods: A comparison of two household surveys was carried out where mothers of the family were interviewed using a structured questionnaire in order to obtain demographic, behavioural and socioeconomic information. In total, 852 and 984 households were included in 1996 and 2009, respectively. Self-reported use of dental floss was assessed dichotomously (yes/no). Poisson regression models were fitted to study the association between sociodemographic variables with the use of dental floss. Proportion ratios (PR) and 95\% confidence intervals (95\% CI) were reported. Results: The proportion of dental floss use increased from 48\% to 59\% over 13 years.

This report describes a semiautomatic approach to decrease the manual reidentification error. This study evaluated the repeatability of surgical outcome measurements using the semiautomatic approach. Furthermore, a step-by-step guide is provided to enable researchers and clinicians to perform the 3D analysis by themselves. Materials and Methods: Evaluating surgical outcome consists of 2 parts. First, the scans are aligned at the anterior cranial base. Second, a semiautomatic approach is used to place 3 dental reference points at exactly the same sites of the pre-and postoperative maxilla. Because the maxilla is repositioned during surgery but otherwise unaltered, the reference points should be identical if the pre-and postoperative scans are aligned at the maxilla. Therefore, the authors propose the insertion of reference points on the preoperative scan and then repositioning a copy of the preoperative reference points relative to the postoperative scan. To align the reference points on the postoperative scan, the hard palate is used as a mutual maxillary reference structure. A reproducibility test was performed in 10 participants by analyzing the difference between repeated measurements. Results: Repeated linear measurements differed by less than 0.1 mm along all 3 axes (standard deviations, < 0.1 mm). The 2 largest differences between repeated measurements were 0.33 mm along the superoinferior axis and 0.29 along the anteroposterior axis. Repeated rotational measurements differed by less than 0.1 degrees around all 3 axes (standard deviations, <= 0.1 degrees). Conclusion: The semiautomatic approach showed excellent linear and angular repeatability. The algorithm can be implemented in the clinical evaluation of orthognathic surgical outcome and postoperative relapse.

Although the quality of developers' contributions should be the only factor influencing the evaluation of the contributions to OSS projects, recent studies have shown that diversity issues are correlated with the acceptance or rejection of developers' contributions. Objective: This paper assists this emerging state-of-the-art body on diversity research with the first empirical study that analyzes how developers' perceptible race and ethnicity relates to the evaluation of the contributions in OSS. We also want to create awareness of the racial and ethnic diversity in OSS projects. Methodology: We performed a large-scale quantitative study of OSS projects in GitHub. We extracted the developers' perceptible race and ethnicity from their names in GitHub using the Name-Prism tool and applied regression modeling of contributions (i.e, pull requests) data from GHTorrent and GitHub. Results: We observed that (1) among the developers whose perceptible race and ethnicity was captured by the tool, only 16.56 percent were perceptible as Non-White developers; (2) contributions from perceptible White developers have about 6-10 percent higher odds of being accepted when compared to contributions from perceptible Non-White developers; and (3) submitters with perceptible non-white races and ethnicities are more likely to get their pull requests accepted when the integrator is estimated to be from their same race and ethnicity rather than when the integrator is estimated to be White. Conclusion: Our initial analysis shows a low number of Non-White developers participating in OSS. Furthermore, the results from our regression analysis lead us to believe that there may exist differences between the evaluation of the contributions from different perceptible races and ethnicities.

The endpoint of the baking process is traditionally determined by subjective human experts and indirect temperature measurements, which can often result in unstandardized production. Current colorimeters are unavailable for onsite measurement due to limitations associated with contact measurement and environmental temperature. Instead of the abovementioned human experts and tabletop colorimeters, a handheld colorimeter was built based on the expertise of human specialists and utilizing a tabletop colorimeter and other optical steps. First, the selected samples were used to determine the upper and lower limits distinguishing light, medium, and heavy baking levels by using a tabletop colorimeter. Second, independent light sources and spectrometers were utilized to choose the characteristic and reference wavelengths at 450 and 830 nm, separately. Third, the handheld colorimeter, instead of human expert observation, was designed with functions such as distance sensing and Internet of Things capabilities. The baked index was derived from the calibration reflection and established statistical models. Here, the calibration reflection was defined by the normalized intensity at 450 nm relative to 830 nm, and statistical models were founded from the determined samples of upper and lower limits at 95-700 mm.

The purpose of present study was to fully characterize our anorganic bone, InterOss (R), by physical and chemical methods and to compare it with another anorganic bone, Bio-Oss (R) that has been commercially distributed in dental bone graft substitute market since 1995. InterOss (R) anorganic bone had been successfully prepared by chemical treatment (NaOH and H2O2) and low temperature (350 degrees C) annealing process with an extremely low heating rate (<0.3 degrees C min(-1)). Commercially available Bio-Oss (R) anorganic bone was chosen for comparison. The physical and chemical analysis indicated that the pore structure, microstructure, phase structure, and chemical composition of InterOss (R) is substantially equivalent to that of Bio-Oss (R). The BET analysis also showed that the inner surface area of InterOss (R) is comparatively higher than that of Bio-Oss (R). Specially, the protein analysis showed that the content of residual protein of InterOss (R) is relatively lower than that of Bio-Oss (R). Based on an equivalency to Bio-Oss (R) in terms of physical and chemical characterization with both higher inner surface area and lower residual protein content, the InterOss (R) can be a promising candidate as dental bone grafting material in periodontal and maxillofacial surgery.

Materials and Methods: A structured questionnaire was randomly distributed to 500 dental hygienists and 500 dentists and a similar questionnaire was distributed to 1000 randomly selected individuals, divided equally into the following age groups: 15 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to 60 and > 60 years. A clinical examination evaluating the ability to remove approximal dental plaque was also carried out in a total of 60 regular users of approximal cleaning aids. Plaque was scored before and after cleaning with a toothpick, dental floss or an interdental brush. Results: The response rate was 82\%, 79\% and 68\% for the three groups. The results reveal that dental hygienists give more detailed information about a majority of the aspects that are related to the use of approximal cleaning aids compared with dentists (P < 0.01 or P < 0.001). The majority of the dental staff give recommendations to children and adolescents firstly to prevent dental caries and to older individuals to improve periodontal health. The use of different approximal cleaning aids on a daily basis varied with respect to age group (2\% to 42\%); dental floss dominated in the younger age groups and interdental brushes in the two oldest groups. In the clinical study, the largest plaque reduction was produced by the interdental brush (83\%), followed by toothpicks (74\%) and dental floss (73\%). Conclusions: The present study indicated the importance of individual recommendations related to the use of approximal cleaning aids.}, ISSN = {1602-1622}, ORCID-Numbers = {Andersson, Pia/0000-0003-0269-730X}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000281116800012}, } @article{ WOS:000789557300001, Author = {Zhang, Mengna and Zhao, Qiaoling and Lin, Yanan and Wang, Haifeng and Shui, Ruofan and Wang, Shitong and Ge, Lijun and Li, Yunyan and Song, Gongshuai and Gong, Jinyan and Wang, Haixing and Chen, Xi and Shen, Qing}, Title = {Fabrication and characterization of tea polyphenol W/O microemulsion-based bioactive edible film for sustained release in fish floss preservation}, Journal = {FOOD SCIENCE \& NUTRITION}, Year = {2022}, Volume = {10}, Number = {7}, Pages = {2370-2380}, Month = {JUL}, Abstract = {A coated nanoemulsion (CNE)-based edible film was fabricated on the surface of fish floss (FF) to extend its shelf life during storage. The antioxidant tea polyphenol (TPP) was embedded into W/O microemulsion, which was further encapsulated into multiple emulsion (Multi-E) together with functional soluble dietary fiber (SDF). The physicochemical properties indicated that the nanoemulsion-based edible film (NEF) improved the morphology of FF and reduced the crystallinity of the film by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The water vapor permeability increased gradually and rose to only 0.99\% after 5 h, resulting in the water activity of FF at a low level (<= 0.51) during the storage period. The TPP inside was released at a constant rate (<= 18.10\%) on the surface, and such a rate was accelerated in the simulated gastrointestinal environment, especially in intestine reaching 60.12\% after 5 h of digestion. Besides, the effect of NEF on the flavor was also evaluated and the contents of ketones, phenols, and pyrazines increased, which displayed a regulating effect on the overall flavor of FF by blocking the external moisture and suppressing the microorganism activity. In summary, the NEF effectively enhanced the flavor and taste of FF, controlled the release of TPP, and reduced the water activity during the storage, thereby extending the shelf life.}, DOI = {10.1002/fsn3.2845}, EarlyAccessDate = {APR 2022}, ISSN = {2048-7177}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Zhang, Mengna/MAH-0900-2025 }, ORCID-Numbers = {, Haifeng/0009-0003-7042-188X}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000789557300001}, } @article{ WOS:000085028400004, Author = {Della Volpe, C and Siboni, S}, Title = {Acid-base surface free energies of solids and the definition of scales in the Good-van Oss-Chaudhury theory}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF ADHESION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, Year = {2000}, Volume = {14}, Number = {2}, Pages = {235-272}, Abstract = {The overwhelming basicity of all analysed surfaces strongly dependent on the choice of liquid triplet used for contact angle measurements and the negative values sometimes obtained for the square roots of the acid-base parameters can be summarized as the main problems arising from the application of the Good-van Oss-Chaudhury (GvOC) theory to the calculation of Lewis acid-base properties of polymer surfaces from contact angle data. This paper tries to account for these problems, namely: (1) the Lewis base, or electron donor component, is much greater than the Lewis acid or electron-acceptor component because of the reference values for water chosen in the original GvOC theory. A direct comparison of the acidic component with the basic one of the same materials has no meaning. A new reference scale for water which is able to overcome this problem is suggested. For the calculation of acid-base components, a best-fit approach is proposed which does not require any starting information about the liquids or polymers and can yield estimates of the acid-base parameters for both the liquids and the polymers involved; (2) the strong dependence of the value of the acid-base components on the three liquids employed is due to ill-conditioning of the related set of equations, an intrinsic and purely mathematical feature which cannot be completely cured by any realistic improvement in experimental accuracy. To reduce or eliminate the effect, one only needs a proper set of liquids, representative of all kinds of different solvents: (3) the negative coefficients appear as a simple consequence of measurement uncertainty, combined with the possible ill-conditioning of the equation set.

Materials and methods Seventy-five adult subjects showing approximately 40\% proximal gingival bleeding were randomized to receive OHt (1 session weekly over 8 weeks) using toothbrush and dental floss or toothbrush alone. The subjects were then followed over 180 days without professional guidance. Primary outcomes were mean interproximal Gingival Index (GI) and GI = 2 (gingival bleeding). Mixed linear models were used for the comparison between groups (p < 0.05). Results68 subjects received OHt, 48 subjects completed the 180-day follow-up. Subjects maintained adequate oral hygiene routines. Besides a reduction in gingival inflammation, no alterations in gingival status were observed among groups, subjects additionally instructed to use dental floss showing a mean interproximal GI = 2 of 12.8 +/- 2.5 compared with 19.8 +/- 2.2 for subjects limited to tooth brushing alone. Conclusions OHt intensive training promotes gingival health and maintenance lasting at least 6 months without professional supervision reinforcing important principles: (i) dental health professionals should dedicate time training and motivating their patients to reach adequate self-performed plaque control; and (ii) the adjunctive use of dental floss appears essential to reduce interproximal gingival inflammation in subjects with intact interdental papillae. Clinical relevance Dentists need to invest time in training/motivating/engage their patients to achieve adequate OH; adjunct flossing in subjects with papilla filling the interdental space appears essential to reach and maintain gingival health.

Trees in urban parks can play an important role in mitigating runoff and delivering other ecosystem services. Park managers, E-NGOs, citizen scientists and others are increasingly called upon to evaluate the possible consequences of changes in park management such as, e.g., tree removal. Here, we present an unorthodox approach to hydrological modelling and its potential use in local policy making regarding urban greenery. The approach consists of a minimalist field campaign to characterize vegetation and soil moisture status combined with a novel model calibration using freely available data and software. During modelling, we were able to obtain coefficients of determination (R-2) of 0.66 and 0.73 for probe-measured and simulated soil moisture under tree stand and park lawn land covers respectively. The results demonstrated that tree cover had a significant positive effect on the hydrological regime of the locality through interception, transpiration and effects on soil moisture. Simulations suggested that tree cover was twice as effective at mitigating runoff than park lawn and almost seven times better than impervious surfaces. In the case of a potential replacement of tree vegetation in favour of park lawn or impervious surfaces an increase in runoff of 14\% and 81\% respectively could be expected. The main conclusion drawn from our study was that such an approach can be a very useful tool for supporting local decision-making processes as it offers a freely available, cheap and relatively easy-to-use way to describe the hydrological consequences of landcover change (e.g., tree removal) with sufficient accuracy.

We introduce a novel method for determining the data of a weak electrolyte by the nonlinear regression of effective electrophoretic mobility versus buffer composition dependence when measured in a set of BGEs with various pH. To correct the experimental data for zero ionic strength we use the extended Debye-Huckel model and Onsager-Fuoss law with no simplifications. Contrary to contemporary approaches, the nonlinear regression is performed on limiting mobility data calculated by PeakMaster's correction engine, not on the raw experimental mobility data. Therefore, there is no requirement to perform all measurements at a constant ionic strength of the set of BGEs. We devised the computer program AnglerFish that performs the necessary calculations in a user-friendly fashion. All thermodynamic pKa values and limiting electrophoretic mobilities for arbitrarily charged substances having any number of ionic forms are calculated by one fit.

With advances in digital planning, surgical techniques, orthognathic surgery becomes increasingly safe, however, still a physiological factor that challenges the surgeon: bone repair. The success of orthognathic surgeries, in addition to planning and correct execution, depends on the repair process and for that it is essential to maintain stability between the bone bases, which becomes a challenge in large movements. The use of biomaterials in orthognathic surgeries is not recent, in the 70s they were already used as a way to promote stability of movements and over time, biomaterials are being improved also to accelerate the process of bone repair, decreasing the chances of pseudoarthrosis and non-union. Bio-Oss (R) Collagen is a combination of purified cancellous natural bone mineral granules (Bio-Oss (R)) and 10\% collagen fibres in a block form and is sterilized by gamma-irradiation. The collagen facilitates handling of the graft particles and acts to hold the Bio-Oss (R) Collagen at the desired place.

In this paper, we introduce a prototype framework, which utilizes the Rust and JavaScript programming languages, as well as their respective ecosystems, alongside the WebAssembly state-of-the-art Web standard, for achieving boosted exposure for hard-to-find C/C++ OSS components, by taking advantage of their package discovery and delivery channels. By demonstrating how this system works, we show that this methodology is capable of increasing the exposure of such libraries, and providing a modernized stage for further development and maintenance. Provided metrics exhibit a more than twofold increase in downloads for a re-packaged library, superior discoverability compared to standard public OSS code repositories, as well as evidence that Web browser vendors invest heavily in optimizing the underlying runtime.

We conducted a large, multicenter, prospective, observational study to confirm the REGOMA data in a real-world setting. Patients and methods: The major inclusion criteria were histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 classification and relapse after radiotherapy with concurrent/adjuvant temozolomide treatment, good performance status {[}Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS 0-1)] and good liver function. Regorafenib was administered at the standard dose of 160 mg/day for 3 weeks on/1 week off. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was carried out within 14 days before starting regorafenib and every 8-12 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints were progression -free survival (PFS), objective response rate, disease control rate (DCR), safety and health-related quality of life. The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria were used for response evaluation and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5 for assessment of adverse events (AEs). Results: From September 2020 to October 2022, 190 patients with recurrent glioblastoma were enrolled from 30 cancer centers in Italy: their median age was 58.5 years {[}interquartile range (IQR) 53-67 years], 68\% were male and 85 (44.7\%) were in optimal clinical condition (ECOG PS 0). The number of patients taking steroids at baseline was 113 (60\%); the second surgery was carried out in 39 (20.5\%). O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) was methylated in 80 patients (50.3\%) and 147 (92.4\%) of the patients analyzed had isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type. The median follow-up period was 20 months (IQR 15.6-25.5 months). The median OS was 7.9 months ({[}95\% confidence interval (CI) 6.5-9.2 months] and the median PFS was 2.6 months (95\% CI 2.3-2.9 months). Radiological response was partial response and stable disease in 13 (7.3\%) and 26 (14.6\%) patients, respectively, with a DCR of 21.9\%. The median number of regorafenib cycles per patient was 3 (IQR 2.0-4.0). Grade 3-4 drug-related adverse events were reported in 22.6\% of patients. A dose reduction due to AEs was required in 36\% of patients. No deaths were considered as treatment-related AEs. Conclusions: This large, real -world observational study showed similar OS with better tolerability of regorafenib in patients with relapsed glioblastoma compared with the REGOMA study.}, DOI = {10.1016/j.esmoop.2024.102943}, Article-Number = {102943}, EISSN = {2059-7029}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Desideri, Isacco/K-4415-2018 schiaroli, elisabetta/N-9098-2015 Parazzini, Fabio/IQT-2942-2023 Giuseppe, Lombardi/J-2526-2012 Franceschi, Enrico/K-5527-2016 caccese, mario/AAB-8245-2022 Padovan, Marta/AEF-7545-2022 De Salvo, Gian/Q-3964-2019 Chiesa, Scott/AAZ-1303-2020 Chiesa, Silvia/Q-7291-2016 Pellerino, Alessia/AAB-3379-2022 De Salvo, Gian Luca/F-4909-2012}, ORCID-Numbers = {franceschi, enrico/0000-0001-9332-4677 Padovan, Marta/0000-0001-7362-3127 caserta, claudia/0009-0003-3721-4520 Chiesa, Silvia/0000-0003-0168-3459 Pellerino, Alessia/0000-0003-3243-0059 caccese, mario/0000-0002-0059-5660 De Salvo, Gian Luca/0000-0001-7451-8476}, Unique-ID = {WOS:001208835800001}, } @article{ WOS:000419401200010, Author = {Smith, M.

Material and MethodsSurfaces of a novel particulate bovine bone graft, Moa-Bone((R)) were compared with Bio-Oss((R)) using scanning electron microscopy. Six sheep then had maxillary sinus grafting bilaterally, covered with BioGide((R)). Grafted maxillae were harvested after 4, 6 and 12weeks. Healing was described for half of each site using resin-embedded ground sections. For the other half, paraffin-embedded sections were examined using tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining for osteoclast activity, runt-related transcription factor2 immunohistochemistry for pre-osteoblasts and osteoblasts and proliferating cell nuclear antigen for proliferative cells. ResultsMoa-Bone((R)) had a smoother, more porous fibrous structure with minimal globular particles compared with Bio-Oss((R)). After 4weeks, woven bone formed on both grafts and the Moa-Bone((R)) particles also showed signs of resorption. After 12weeks, Moa-Bone((R)) continued to be resorbed, however Bio-Oss((R)) did not; both grafts were surrounded by maturing lamellar bone. Moa-Bone((R)) was associated with earlier evidence of runt-related transcription factor 2-positive cells. Moa-Bone((R)) but not Bio-Oss((R)) was associated with strong tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts on the graft surface within resorption lacunae at both 4 and 6weeks post-grafting. ConclusionBoth materials supported osseous healing and maturation without inflammation. Moa-Bone((R)) showed marked osteoclast activity after 4 and 6weeks and demonstrated positive attributes for grafting, if complete remodeling of the graft within the site is desired.

During variable-parameter milling, particularly high-precision machining, machining parameters vary, and associated discrepancies in vibration signals are small. In this scenario, signal features that are extracted by hand or via deep learning methods cannot typically distinguish machining states via classification models. To solve this problem, a sequence labeling model developed using a stacked bidirectional long short-term memory network with a conditional random field layer (stacked-BiLSTM-CRF) is proposed in this study to automatically label and intercept vibration signals. The stacked BiLSTM receives the shallow features obtained by the short-time Fourier transform of the vibration signals and then outputs the extracted deep features to capture the before and after dependence of the signals. The stacked BiLSTM is then extended by stacking a CRF layer to explicitly model the dependence of signal labels. In a more accurate labeling scenario, the fast low-cost online semantic segmentation algorithm (FLOSS) is used to acquire more fine-grained signal boundary locations after obtaining the frame-level signal label using the stacked BiLSTM-CRF model. In addition, to evaluate model performance, a novel evaluation index for signal labeling is proposed. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified using the vibration signals collected from variable parameter cutting experiments, and results show that the proposed model achieves the best labeling performance of tested methods in nearly all scenarios.}, DOI = {10.1016/j.aei.2022.101850}, EarlyAccessDate = {DEC 2022}, Article-Number = {101850}, ISSN = {1474-0346}, EISSN = {1873-5320}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Li, Kaixuan/GOE-6991-2022}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000901807800001}, } @article{ WOS:000283010800003, Author = {Burdett, Carolyn}, Title = {Sexual Selection, Automata and Ethics in George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss and Olive Schreiner's Undine and From Man to Man}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF VICTORIAN CULTURE}, Year = {2009}, Volume = {14}, Number = {1}, Pages = {26-52}, Abstract = {This paper brings together two related areas of debate in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The first concerns how the courtship plot of the nineteenth-century novel responded to, and helped to shape, scientific ideas of sexual competition and selection. In The Mill on the Floss (1860), George Eliot strikingly prefigures Darwin's later work on sexual selection, drawing from her own extensive knowledge of the wider debates within which evolutionary theory developed. Maggie Tulliver's characterisation allows Eliot to explore the ethical complexities raised by an increasingly powerful scientific naturalism, where biology is seen to be embedded within morality in newly specific ways. The second strand of the paper examines the extension of scientific method to human mind and motivation which constituted the new psychology. It argues that there are crucial continuities of long-established ethical and religious ideas within this increasingly naturalistic view of human mind and motivation. The contention that such ideas persist and are transformed, rather than simply jettisoned, is illustrated through the example of Thomas Henry Huxley's 1874 essay on automata. Turning finally to focus on Olive Schreiner's Undine (1929) and From Man to Man (1926), the paper explores the importance of these persistent ethical and religious ideas in two novels which remained unpublished during her lifetime. It argues that they produce both difficulty and opportunity for imagining love plots within the context of increasingly assertive biological and naturalistic accounts of human beings.}, DOI = {10.3366/E1355550209000587}, ISSN = {1355-5502}, EISSN = {1750-0133}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000283010800003}, } @article{ WOS:000422909300014, Author = {Kasuya, Shin and Inui, Shihoko and Kato-Kogoe, Nahoko and Omori, Michi and Yamamoto, Kayoko and Inoue, Kazuya and Ito, Yuichi and Nakajima, Yoichiro and Hirata, Azumi and Ueno, Takaaki}, Title = {Evaluation of Guided Bone Regeneration Using the Bone Substitute Bio-Oss® and a Collagen Membrane in a Rat Cranial Bone Defect Model}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF HARD TISSUE BIOLOGY}, Year = {2018}, Volume = {27}, Number = {1}, Pages = {79-83}, Month = {JAN}, Abstract = {The value of using the xenogeneic bone substitute Bio-Oss (R) and a collagen membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR) was evaluated. Five-millimeter bone defects were created in the cranial bones of 15, 15-week-old, male Sprague-Dawley rats, five of which were left unfilled (Group A), five were filled with Bio-Oss (R) (Group B), and five were filled with Bio-Oss (R) and a collagen membrane (Group C). They were evaluated by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) Weeks 8 after bone defect creation. The animals were euthanized in Week 8, and tissue samples were taken. The sampled tissue was evaluated by the Kawamoto technique for preparing nondecalcified frozen sections. On micro-CT, radiopacities in the bone defects were evident in Groups B and C, but not in Group A. The amount of radiopacity tended to be greater in Group C than in Group B. Histologically, no new bone formation was observed in Group A. In Groups B and C, new bone formation around the Bio-Oss (R) was apparent and some osteoblastic cells were observed along the new bone. The Bio-Oss (R) was not absorbed up to Week 8, suggesting that it may be a potential bone regeneration scaffold. The combined use of a collagen membrane anchored the Bio-Oss (R) in close contact with the cranial bone, suggesting that it may help create a favorable environment for bone formation. The combination of Bio-Oss (R) and a collagen membrane in GBR may be useful for bone defect regeneration.}, DOI = {10.2485/jhtb.27.79}, ISSN = {1341-7649}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000422909300014}, } @inproceedings{ WOS:000266867100001, Author = {Karopka, Thomas}, Editor = {Karopka, T and CruzCorreia, RJ}, Title = {Building the Free/Libre Open Source Health Care (FLOSS-HC) Community: A Strategy for Pushing Free/Libre Open Source in European Health Care}, Booktitle = {OPEN SOURCE IN EUROPEAN HEALTH CARE: THE TIME IS RIPE}, Year = {2009}, Pages = {3-7}, Note = {1st International Workshop on Open Source in European Health Care, Porto, PORTUGAL, JAN, 2009}, Abstract = {Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is both a process of software development and a method of licensing.

Structural analysis of the top scoring hits and a docking study were used to select the best derivatives for the synthesis. Chemical synthesis and structural elucidation of compounds 16a-h were discussed. The antiproliferative activity of 16a-h was evaluated against three cancer (MCF7, A2780 and HT29, IC50 = 0.01-40.50 mu M) and one normal MRC5 (IC50 = 1.27-24.06 mu M) cell lines using the MTT assay. The results revealed the highest antiproliferative activity against MCF7 cells for 16g (IC50 = 0.01 mu M) with an exceptionally high selectivity index of (SI = 578). Cell cycle analysis of MCF7 cells treated with compound 16g revealed a cell cycle arrest at the G(2)/M phase. In addition, compound 16g induced a dose-dependent increase in apoptotic events in MCF7 cells compared to the control. In silico target prediction of compound 16g showed six potential targets that could mediate these activities. Molecular docking analysis of compound 16g revealed high binding affinities toward COX-2, MAP P38 alpha, EGFR, and CDK2. The results of the MD simulation revealed low RMSD values and high negative binding free energies for the two complexes formed between compound 16g with EGFR, and CDK2, while COX-2 was in the third order. These results highlighted a great potentiality for 16g to inhibit both CDK2 and EGFR.

Then, Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) were used to test the antibacterial activity of the mixture. Human periodontal ligament fibroblasts and rat bone marrow stromal cells were selected for cytocompatibility experiments. According to results, the peak value of the size of the AgHA was concentrated in the 100-200 nm range, and AgHA particles consisted of short rods. It was confirmed that the structure of AgHA was similar to that of standard hydroxyapatite. All three mixture ratios exhibited obvious antimicrobial properties, which increased with increasing AgHA. According to the effects on the expression of bacterial virulence genes, groups 1:1 and 1:2 both negatively affected Pg and Fn more significantly than group 1:4. Cytotoxicity experiments showed that 1:1 caused little cytotoxicity, while groups 1:2 and 1:4 exerted no significant cytotoxicity. Considering its biological compatibility and antibacterial activity, group 1:2 is the most recommended. (c) 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper offers a functional prototype developed as free software to counteract these difficulties.}, DOI = {10.1109/JoCICI54528.2021.9794355}, ISBN = {978-1-6654-9832-6}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Alfaro, Jaime/ABH-7988-2020 }, ORCID-Numbers = {Gutierrez Alfaro, Jaime/0000-0002-2893-8311}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000861163300013}, } @article{ WOS:000263449300001, Author = {Montero, J. and Bravo, M. and Albaladejo, A.}, Title = {Validation of two complementary oral-health related quality of life indicators (OIDP and OSS 0-10) in two qualitatively distinct samples of the Spanish population}, Journal = {HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES}, Year = {2008}, Volume = {6}, Month = {NOV 18}, Abstract = {Background: Oral health-related quality of life can be assessed positively, by measuring satisfaction with mouth, or negatively, by measuring oral impact on the performance of daily activities. The study objective was to validate two complementary indicators, i.e., the OIDP (Oral Impacts on Daily Performances) and Oral Satisfaction 0-10 Scale (OSS), in two qualitatively different socio-demographic samples of the Spanish adult population, and to analyse the factors affecting both perspectives of well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed, recruiting a Validation Sample from randomly selected Health Centres in Granada (Spain), representing the general population (n = 253), and a Working Sample (n = 561) randomly selected from active Regional Government staff, i. e., representing the more privileged end of the socio-demographic spectrum of this reference population. All participants were examined according to WHO methodology and completed an inperson interview on their oral impacts and oral satisfaction using the OIDP and OSS 0-10 respectively. The reliability and validity of the two indicators were assessed. An alternative method of describing the causes of oral impacts is presented. Results: The reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the OIDP was above the recommended 0.7 threshold in both Validation and Occupational samples (0.79 and 0.71 respectively). Test-retest analysis confirmed the external reliability of the OSS (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, 0.89; p < 0.001) Some subjective factors (perceived need for dental treatment, complaints about mouth and intermediate impacts) were strongly associated with both indicators, supporting their construct and criterion validity. The main cause of oral impact was dental pain. Several socio-demographic, behavioural and clinical variables were identified as modulating factors. Conclusion: OIDP and OSS are valid and reliable subjective measures of oral impacts and oral satisfaction, respectively, in an adult Spanish population. Exploring simultaneously these issues may provide useful insights into how satisfaction and impact on well-being are constructed.}, DOI = {10.1186/1477-7525-6-101}, Article-Number = {101}, EISSN = {1477-7525}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {MONTERO, JAVIER/D-7051-2018 }, ORCID-Numbers = {MONTERO, JAVIER/0000-0003-3936-6539 Bravo Perez, Manuel/0000-0001-5508-561X}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000263449300001}, } @article{ WOS:000294148100001, Author = {Lindsley, Craig W. and Bates, Brittney S. and Menon, Usha N. and Jadhav, Satyawan B. and Kane, Alexander S. and Jones, Carrie K. and Rodriguez, Alice L. and Conn, P.

The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) belong to family C of the G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The eight mGlus identified to date are classified into three groups based on their structure, preferred signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacology (group I: mGlu(1) and mGlus; group II: mGlu(2) and mGlu(3); group III: mGlu(4), mGlu(6), mGlu(7), and mGlu(8)). Noncompetitive antagonists, also known as negative allosteric modulators (NAMs), of mGlus offer potential therapeutic applications in diseases such as pain, anxiety, gastresophageal reflux disease (GERD), Parkinson's disease (PD), fragile X syndrome, and addiction. The development of structure activity relationships (SAR) in a (3-cyano-5-fluorophenyl)biaryl series using our functional cell-based assay is described in this communication. Further characterization of a selected compound, 3-fluoro-(5-(2-methylbenzo{[}d]thiazol-5-yl)benzonitrile, in additional cell based assays as well as in vitro assays designed to measure its metabolic stability and protein binding indicated its potential utility as an in vivo tool. Subsequent evaluation of the same compound in a pharmacokinetic study using intraperitoneal dosing in mice showed good exposure in both plasma and brain samples. The compound was efficacious in a mouse marble burying model of anxiety, an assay known to be sensitive to mGlus antagonists. A new operant model of addiction termed operant sensation seeking (OSS) was chosen as a second behavioral assay. The compound also proved efficacious in the OSS model and constitutes the first reported example of efficacy with a small molecule mGlu(5) NAM in this novel assay.}, DOI = {10.1021/cn100099n}, ISSN = {1948-7193}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Lindsley, Craig/IZD-8302-2023 Winder, Danny/H-4857-2013 Conn, Peter/D-7848-2012 jadhav, satyawan/I-2661-2019 Olsen, Christopher/G-9595-2013 Olsen, Christopher/C-3542-2008 }, ORCID-Numbers = {Jadhav, Satyawan/0000-0003-0628-2961 Olsen, Christopher/0000-0003-2700-0310 Emmitte, Kyle/0000-0002-6643-3947}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000294148100001}, } @article{ WOS:000880102500001, Author = {Zalazar-Garcia, Daniela and Fernandez, Anabel and Rodriguez-Ortiz, Leandro and Torres, Erick and Reyes-Urrutia, Andres and Echegaray, Marcelo and Rodriguez, Rosa and Mazza, German}, Title = {Exergo-ecological analysis and life cycle assessment of agro-wastes using a combined simulation approach based on Cape-Open to Cape-Open (COCO) and SimaPro free-software}, Journal = {RENEWABLE ENERGY}, Year = {2022}, Volume = {201}, Number = {1}, Pages = {60-71}, Month = {DEC}, Abstract = {Thermochemical processes to convert bio-wastes into valuable products and bioenergy have been extensively studied in the literature. Experimental and, to a lesser extent, rigorous simulation papers concerning these processes have been widely considered and discussed in the literature.

In this paper, an efficient simulation strategy, combining the free-software COCO simulator for the bio-waste slow pyrolysis coupled with commercial SimaPro code to carry out the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), was applied. The pyrolysis product yields at 673, 773, and 873 K were well predicted using mass and energy balances and a proposed reaction scheme from the literature. Simulations were validated using experimental data previously reported. The highest yield was 53.7\% for biochar (673 K - stalk of white grape), 32\% for bio-oil (773 K -marc of red grape), and 56.3\% for gas (873 K -marc of white grape). The results from LCA and cumulative exergy demand (CExD) were useful to detect and reduce environmental impacts in previous stages of the process.}, DOI = {10.1016/j.renene.2022.10.084}, EarlyAccessDate = {OCT 2022}, ISSN = {0960-1481}, EISSN = {1879-0682}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Zalazar-García, Daniela/ABF-6070-2021 Mazza, Germán/AAW-7566-2021 }, ORCID-Numbers = {Rodriguez, Rosa Ana/0000-0003-1252-4752 Rodriguez-Ortiz, Leandro A./0000-0002-2648-4539 ZALAZAR GARCIA, DANIELA INES YANINA/0000-0002-4410-1191 Mazza, German/0000-0002-1362-8521 Torres, Erick David/0000-0003-1972-9216 Fernandez, Anabel/0000-0002-2037-2288}, Unique-ID = {WOS:000880102500001}, } @article{ WOS:001060705700001, Author = {Luo, Ting and Beiter, Kaylin and Tseng, Tung-Sung}, Title = {Association between acculturation, dental floss use, dental visits and unmet dental needs among Asians in the United States: Findings from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018}, Journal = {COMMUNITY DENTISTRY AND ORAL EPIDEMIOLOGY}, Year = {2024}, Volume = {52}, Number = {1}, Pages = {101-110}, Month = {FEB}, Abstract = {ObjectivesThe objectives of this study were to examine the associations between acculturation and dental floss, regular dental visits and unmet dental care needs among Asian Americans, as well as the moderating effects of these associations.MethodsThis study analysed national representative samples from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018. A total of 2763 Asian Americans aged 20 and older were included in this analysis. The primary predictor, acculturation score, was determined by three questions: (i) language spoken at home (higher score for English), (ii) country of birth (higher score for United States) and (iii) length of time in the United States. Dental floss use, dental visits and unmet dental care needs were included as outcomes in this study. Descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were used to analyse the samples.ResultsAcculturation was significantly associated with dental health behaviours: Individuals with higher levels of acculturation were more likely than less acculturated individuals to use dental floss (81.0\% vs. 63.9\%, respectively) and visit the dentist regularly (76.7\% vs. 66.9\% respectively). Insurance status moderated the association between acculturation and dental visits: Acculturation was significantly associated with dental visits in the past year among insured individuals (OR = 1.70, 95\% CI: 1.29-2.23), but not among uninsured individuals. Unmet dental care needs were present in 11.1\% of participants. While costs and insurance were the top two determinants of access to care, individuals with and without insurance differed with regard to their third major reason for unmet dental care needs: Being `too busy' and not wanting to spend money on dental care.ConclusionsAmong the Asian population in the United States, those with high acculturation scores were more likely to engage in dental flossing and visit the dentist regularly compared to those Asians with lower acculturation scores. To encourage dental flossing and regular dental visits among Asians with lower acculturation scores, cultural adaptation and language accessibility suggests being considered. Future research is necessary to confirm the moderating effect of insurance status on the association between acculturation and regular dental visits. Additionally, our findings emphasize the impact of costs and insurance on access to dental care among Asians in the United States, highlighting the importance of future public health programmes in addressing these barriers.}, DOI = {10.1111/cdoe.12906}, EarlyAccessDate = {AUG 2023}, ISSN = {0301-5661}, EISSN = {1600-0528}, ResearcherID-Numbers = {Tseng, Tung-Sung/AFL-4208-2022 LUO, TING/ABC-4374-2021 }, ORCID-Numbers = {LUO, TING/0000-0001-9353-3671}, Unique-ID = {WOS:001060705700001}, } @article{ WOS:000343668000002, Author = {Weng, Ming and Shen, Qing}, Title = {Effect of liquid surface tension data on the validity and accuracy of solid surface tension components and parameters in the application of the van Oss-Chaudhury-Good approach}, Journal = {JOURNAL OF ADHESION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, Year = {2014}, Volume = {28}, Number = {22-23}, Pages = {2248-2268}, Month = {DEC 2}, Abstract = {This paper studies the effects on valid domain of contact angles and error limits of solid surface tension components and parameters (SSTCPs)/square roots of SSTCPs (SQSSTCPs) from the changes in liquid surface tension components and parameters (LSTCPs) when applying the van Oss-Chaudhury-Good (vOCG) approach. The results of maximum absolute errors and maximum relative errors (MREs) in SQSSTCPs/SSTCPs, induced by errors in LSTCPs or contact angles, show that most SQSSTCPs/SSTCPs can be evaluated at moderate accuracy from the lowest condition number liquid triplets, assuming that |Delta theta(i)|=1 degrees and {[}GRAPHICS] =0.1mN/m (i=1,2,3, k=LW, +, -). This confirms the validity of the vOCG approach. The accuracy of each SQSSTSCP/SSTCP declines with increasing theta(i) or decreasing parameter when theta(i)>0 or a critical value, provided the other two contact angles are kept fixed. This explains the underlying reasons for negative SQSSTCPs. At the scale proposed by vOCG, dimethyl sulphoxide is not suggested for use.
