Dim Delobsom
No full textDelobsom, Dim (1897-1940), Burkinan author, canton chief, and civil servant, was born in Sao village, about 60 kilometers northwest of Ouagadougou, in the Mossi region of the presentday country of Burkina Faso. His mother was Datoumi Yaare, from the village of Kaonghin; and his father, Gueta Wagdogo, was the son of Yiougo, the naba (Mossi chief) of Sao. Naba Yiougo supported Mogho Naba Wobgo (Boukary Koutu), the principal king of the four Mossi kingdoms, against a rebelling vassal, the naba ofLalle. In 1896, Mogho Naba Wobgo supported Gueta Wagdogo to attain the chieftaincy (whereupon he assumed the name Naba Piiga ) after the death of Naba Yiougo. The meaning of Dim Delobsom\u27s name, The king has returned the favor:\u27 acknowledged the relationship between the two rulers
Increased number of CD16(+)CD56(dim) NK cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells after allogeneic cord blood transplantation
No full textIn the present study, we investigated subpopulations of NK cells and the expression of stimulatory and inhibitory NK receptors after adult blood and bone marrow transplantation (BBMT) and cord blood transplantation (CBT). There were significant increases in CD16(+)CD56(dim) cell proportion and in absolute number in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) during a period of 4 months to 9 months after CBT compared with these in normal PBMC, cord blood (CB), and in PBMC after BBMT. Also, increased numbers of CD16(+)CD56(dim) NK cell sustained in some patients until 4 years after CBT. This CD16(+)CD56(dim) cell subset after CBT exhibited decreased expression of NKG2A compared with that in CB and increased expression of NKG2C. Purified CD16(+)CD56(dim) cells from patients 8-9 months after CBT exhibited significantly higher levels of cytolytic activity against K562 than did purified CD16(+)CD56(bright) cells and also whole PBMC. The CD16(+)CD56(dim) cell subset with a high level of cytolytic activity significantly increased after CBT, and these cells may be responsible for NK cell-mediated immunity after CBT
Not Enough Primary Categories in Peikoff's DIM? Salutary Eclecticism and an ACID Test
No full textAbstract
The author reprises his review of The DIM Hypothesis by arguing for an expansion and revision of Leonard Peikoff's model to include not three, but four primary positions regarding integration (aka “DIM modes”): Integration, Disintegration, Abstract Misintegration, and Concrete Misintegration—and to include not just two mixtures of those primary positions, but twelve. He offers it as a work in progress and a remedy to the over-restrictiveness and resulting misrepresentations of various philosophers by Peikoff's version of the model.</jats:p
Creative Fusion: Dim Sum Variation for Vegetarians Using White Tofu with Carrots, Bamboo Sprouts, and Mushroom Substitute
No full textDim sum typically contains items derived from animals, and the main ingredients in this vegetarian Dim sum are carrot white tofu, white tofu mushroom, and white tofu bamboo sprout, which the author makes without animal products. The aim of this study was to determine how well the vegetarian Dim sum carrot white tofu, white tofu bamboo sprout and white tofu mushroom tested for inventiveness. The data collection approach is organoleptic test evaluation and the method used is descriptive quantitative. Questionnaires were distributed in the Lebdosari III RT 02 Rw 05 region. The 81 respondents who participated in the quantitative data analysis evaluated the vegetarian Dim sum made of white tofu, carrots, bamboo shoots, and ear mushrooms. According to the results of the organoleptic test, 54.3% of the respondents liked the taste of the vegetarian Dim sum with bamboo sprouts, while 44.4% liked the smell. The carrot and white tofu vegetarian Dim sum was favored by 25.9% for its appearance and 70.4% for its texture
Dim target detection using high order correlation method
No full textThis paper presents a new method for clutter rejection and dim target track detection from infrared (IR) satellite data using neural networks. A high order correlation method is developed which recursively computes the spatio-temporal cross-correlations between data of several consecutive scans. The implementation of this scheme using a connectionist network is also presented. Several important properties of the high order correlation method are established which indicate that the resultant filtered images capture all the target information. The simulation results using this approach show at least 93% clutter rejection. Further improvement in the clutter rejection rate is achieved by modifying the high order correlation method to incorporate the target motion dynamics. The implementation of this modified high order correlation using a high order neural network architecture is demonstrated. The simulation results indicate at least 97% clutter rejection rate for this method. A comparison is also made between the methods developed here and the conventional frequency domain three-dimensional (3-D) filtering scheme, and the simulation results are provided.This work was supported by IBM Corporation, Federal Sector Division, Boulder, CO 80301
Diurnal Rhythms of Group-housed Layer Pullets with Free Choices between Light and Dim Environments
No full textChickens under appropriate light–dark programs can develop diurnal rhythms. However, actual needs of layer pullets for the light and dark environments are not fully understood. This study was to investigate the diurnal rhythms of pullets in the light (30 lx) and dim (<1 lx) environments. The preferences of pullets on the light and dim environments were examined. The testing system contained four identical compartments (0.96 m length × 1.20 m width × 2.00 m height for each). A light-emitting diode tube, a camera, and weighing sensors were installed in each compartment. Four groups of eight Chinese domestic layer pullets, Jingfen, were used at the weeks 15–18. Choices of environments and feeding behaviors were monitored by weighing sensors, and activity was measured by digital image processing. The results show that pullets spent on average 35.5 ± 2.2 min under the light and 24.5 ± 2.1 min under the dim in each hour. Human inspection can stimulate bird feeding and activity. Overall, pullets behaved more actively under the light than under the dim environment. Pullets stayed in the light and dim environments throughout each hour of a day, which may suggest that lighting environments with free choices in a pullet house might better serve for pullet preference.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

An Agent Based Approach To Finding Expertise In The Engineering Design Environment
No full textDuring the engineering design process people need to locate colleagues with knowledge to resolve a problem. As identified by discussions with practicing designers the use of computer based systems that assist users with finding such expertise will become increasingly important. In this paper we discuss the development of an agent based Expertise Finder suitable for use within an engineering design environment. A key feature of our approach is that the Expertise Finder returns both recommended contacts and supporting documentation. The Expertise Finder bases its results on information held within the organisation, for example publications, human resource records, and not on personally compiled CVs or user maintained records. The recommendations are presented to the user with due regard to the social context. The technology used in the exemplar application allows the development of distributed, interchangeable agents that use real time data to find expertise

Melatonin suppression during a simulated night shift in medium intensity light is increased by 10-minute breaks in dim light and decreased by 10-minute breaks in bright light
No full textExposure to light at night results in disruption of endogenous circadian rhythmicity and/or suppression of pineal melatonin, which can consequently lead to acute or chronic adverse health problems. In the present study, we investigated whether exposure to very dim light or very bright light for a short duration influences melatonin suppression, subjective sleepiness, and performance during exposure to constant moderately bright light. Twenty-four healthy male university students were divided into two experimental groups: Half of them (mean age: 20.0 +/- 0.9 years) participated in an experiment for short-duration (10 min) light conditions of medium intensity light (430 lx, medium breaks) vs. very dim light (< 1 lx, dim breaks) and the other half (mean age: 21.3 +/- 2.5 years) participated in an experiment for short-duration light conditions of medium intensity light (430 lx, medium breaks) vs. very bright light (4700 lx, bright breaks). Each simulated night shift consisting of 5 sets (each including 50-minute night work and 10-minute break) was performed from 01:00 to 06:00 h. The subjects were exposed to medium intensity light (550 lx) during the night work. Each 10-minute break was conducted every hour from 02:00 to 06:00 h. Salivary melatonin concentrations were measured, subjective sleepiness was assessed, the psychomotor vigilance task was performed at hourly intervals from 21:00 h until the end of the experiment. Compared to melatonin suppression between 04:00 and 06:00 h in the condition of medium breaks, the condition of dim breaks significantly promoted melatonin suppression and the condition of bright breaks significantly diminished melatonin suppression. However, there was no remarkable effect of either dim breaks or bright breaks on subjective sleepiness and performance of the psychomotor vigilance task. Our findings suggest that periodic exposure to light for short durations during exposure to a constant light environment affects the sensitivity of pineal melatonin to constant light depending on the difference between light intensities in the two light conditions (i.e., short light exposure vs. constant light exposure). Also, our findings indicate that exposure to light of various intensities at night could be a factor influencing the light-induced melatonin suppression in real night work settings
