JAB: A generic architecture for power efficient, high throughput mobile VLC applications
No full textVisible Light Communication is a method of wireless communication that avoids the oversaturated frequencies used by radio communication. Prior research typically uses the camera on smartphone for communication, but using a camera is energy-intensive and inefficient. Some alternatives are photodiodes and ambient light sensors, however the former is often not available on phones and the latter is too slow to be useful. This thesis introduces a system, JAB, which combines two sensors to achieve high throughput while keeping energy usage low. The impact of distance, modulation frequency and light are measured on the system implemented on an Android smartphone. Overall, the system is usable and does greatly improve the energy effiency of using VLC. An important next step is creating a custom hardware setup with a kernel driver implementation for a full system test.Electrical Engineerin

Risk conceptualisations, trust and decision-making in the face of contradictory information: the case of MMR
No full textThis thesis investigates the process by which parents evaluate contradictory information about risk in order to make the decision whether to have their children immunised with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Contested reports associating the MMR vaccine with autism have resulted in diminished confidence and uptake of the vaccine in the UK. Interviews and focus groups were used to develop an in-depth picture of parental notions of risk, trust and decision-making processes. Cultural consensus analysis was used to probe the areas of consensus and divergence of opinion, and a large-scale postal survey (N=996) assessed the level of agreement with the qualitative findings. Parental ambivalence to the safety of the vaccine reflected wider social concerns, and was crucially related to trust in governmental medical authority and medical practitioners. Trust was particularly damaged when practitioners and policy makers failed to recognise parents' concern for their children’s health and their unique knowledge of their own children. A key tool for fostering trust is narrative: this played a central role in galvanising resistance to the vaccine, but was not well used to engender trust and cooperation between parents and medical practitioners. Three practical strategies to protect children from diseases and harmful vaccine side effects, to rebuild trust, and to cope successfully with similar controversies in the future emerged from this research: fully involving the public in framing scientific research agendas, streamlining the reporting procedures for suspected adverse reactions, and fostering trusting personal relationships between patients and health care practitioners

Microbial iron uptake as a mechanism for dispersing iron from deep-sea hydrothermal vents
No full textAuthor Posting. © The Author(s), 2014. This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of Nature Publishing Group for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Nature Communications 5 (2014): 3192, doi:10.1038/ncomms4192.Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are a significant source of oceanic iron. Although
hydrothermal iron rapidly precipitates as inorganic minerals upon mixing with
seawater, it can be stabilized by organic matter and dispersed more widely than
previously recognized. The nature and source of this organic matter is unknown.
Here we show that microbial genes involved in cellular iron uptake are highly
expressed in the Guaymas Basin deep-sea hydrothermal plume. The nature of
these microbial iron transporters, taken together with the low concentration of
dissolved iron and abundance of particulate iron in the plume, indicates that
iron minerals are the target for this microbial scavenging and uptake. Our
findings indicate that cellular iron uptake is a major process in plume microbial
communities and suggest new mechanisms for generating Fe-C complexes. This
“microbial iron pump” could represent an important mode of converting
hydrothermal iron into bioavailable forms that can be dispersed through the
oceans.This project is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore

A CASE OF ENVENOMATION BY PEZ SAPO (Thalassophryne sp.) (CHORDATA: BATRACHOIDIDAE) IN VENEZUELA
No full textAn envenomation accident by fish "Pez Sapo" (Thalassophryne sp) in a fisherman village, Playa Santa Cruz, Sucre state, Venezuela from 20 km Playa Colorada is described. A male patient was stung while was swimming. The patient referred in a first contact with the fish something dribble and subsequently almost instantaneous he felt a strong jab and intense pain in the first right toe. Immediately, after watching the fish, he left the water and he observed in the finger a 3 mm of diameter bleeding wound and a strong pain in the wounded area. An oedema extended to the whole foot in the first minutes and then ascending to the knee was present. Concomitantly, obnubilation, profuse sweating and drowsiness were noticed. Few days after, the wound slowly healed , acquiring a similar dark brown chocolate colour. Patient was treated with antihistamines and steroids
PENGARUH KEMAMPUAN MODAL DAN LIKUIDITAS TERHADAP KEUNTUNGAN PERBANKAN NASIONAL DI BURSA EFEK INDONESIA (BEI)
No full textThe capital market is one of the alternative sources of long-term funding for companies. These include companies in the banking sector. The Banking Industry plays an important role in economic development as a Financial Intermediary or intermediary for over-funding parties with parties in need of funds. One element that is very noticed by the bank is the performance of the bank, in other words, the problem of its health level. The level of health of a bank can be assessed in terms of its finances. A bank can be said to be healthy if it can meet the provisions stipulated by the regulations issued by the Central Bank. In conducting this research, the object that the author of the analysis is the banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange as many as 10 banks, ten banks registered by the author took 4 state-owned banks yatu Bank Mandiri, Bank BNI 1946, Bank BRI, Bank BTPN while private banks include Bank BCA, Bank CIMB Niaga, Bank OCBC NISP, Bank Maybank, Bank Danamon and Bank Permata where the data used is secondary data for the period 2014-2019 obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange , which relates to this research. Based on calculations and analysis using car, LDR and ROA ratios that have been done by the author, it can be concluded that the banks taken as samples can be said to be healthy banks. Although the ten banks are classified as healthy banks, the banking sector has great potential and opportunities in its role as a source of financing for the community and business sector. Since the number of banks liquidated during the monetary crisis, Bank Indonesia has been more eager to restructure the banking sector, which is expected to create a strong, effective, efficient, and sound banking structure. The health of a bank can be assessed through qualitative approach to management factors and quantitative approach to capital factors, asset quality, management, rentability, and liquidity. This study aims to analyze the influence of capital and liquidity capabilities on profits in the National Banking System. The financial ratio analysis used consists of CAR, which represents capital capability, LDR representing liquidity and ROA representing profit. From the results of the study, CAR and LDR variables simultaneously affect roa variables, this is indicated by the P-value test calculation value of 0.017 is less than 5%, meaning there is a positive and significant influence between the two free variables (CAR and LDR) on bound variables (ROA

All the authors have read and approved the final version of the manuscript.Despite the great interest in the development of a vaccine against African swine fever (ASF) in wild boar, the immunological mechanisms that induce animal protection are still unknown. For this purpose, tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) of wild boar were characterised and compared with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALTs) by histopathology, histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry (CD3, CD79, PAX5, LYVE1, fibronectin). In addition, real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry (p72) were used to evaluate the presence of ASF virus (ASFV) in blood and tissues samples, respectively. TLOs were observed in animals infected with a low-virulent ASFV isolate (LVI), animals co-infected with low and high-virulent ASFV isolates (LVI-HVI) and animals infected only with the high virulence isolate (HVI). TLOs in LVI and LVI-HVI groups were located adjacent to the mucosa and presented a similar structure to MALT. Immunoexpresion of p72 observed in the inflammatory cells adjacent to TLOs/MALTs confirmed its development and reactivity generated by ASF attenuated isolates. Immunohistochemical evaluation, based on cellular composition (T and B lymphocytes), and histomorphometrical study revealed a more pronounced maturation of TLOs/MALTs in the LVI-HVI group. It is currently unclear whether these formations play a protective role by contributing to local immunity in chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the structural similarities between TLOs and MALTs and the location of TLOs close to the mucosa suggest that they may perform a similar function, facilitating a local protective response. Nevertheless, further investigations are warranted to assess the cellular and humoral dynamics of these lymphoid organs induced by attenuated isolatesEuropean CommissionDepto. de Sanidad AnimalCentro de Vigilancia Sanitaria Veterinaria (VISAVET)Fac. de VeterinariaTRUEpu
