SASS v.2.1: Anthropometric Spreadsheet and Database for the IRIS
No full textThis report is the user\u27s manual of SASS v.21, the Spreadsheet Anthropometric Scaling System (version 2.1). It describes the usage of SASS, a spreadsheet-like system which allows flexible interactive access to all anthropometric variables needed to size a computer-based human figure, described structurally by a PEABODY file. Data that may be accessed is organized into the following groups : segment dimension ( girth ), joint limits, center of mass, and strength, all of which work based on statistical population data. SASS creates generic computer-based human figures based on this data. SASS also is an anthropometric database and interactive query system that works upon anthropometric data of real individuals. Scaled computer-based human figures created by SASS can be displayed directly, and interactively changed, within the Jack software

Shifting ground: Can community development loan funds continue to serve the neediest borrowers?
No full textCommunity development financial institutions (CDFIs) are designed to improve economic conditions for low-income individuals and communities by providing a range of financial products and services that often are not available from mainstream lenders and financiers. ; Part I of this paper reviews CDLF origins, structures, and current activities. Part II discusses the field’s historic sources of subsidized capital and why they have shrunk. Part III reviews potential new sources of capital and the organizational ways that CDLFs are responding to their changed environment. The paper concludes with recommendations for CDLFs, funders, and policy makers.Community development ; Loans
A Converter between the LESS and SASS Stylesheet Formats
No full textCílem této bakalářské práce je výzkum rozdílů mezi CSS preprocesorovými jazyky, jmenovitě Less a Sass, a nalezení použitelných transormačních metod k implementaci překladače mezi jejich formáty. Nejprve je předložen koncept CSS preprocesorů a následuje detailní popis vlastností jazyků Less a Sass. V této práci jsou uvedené všechny zjištěné rozdíly, a pak jsou představeny nové konverzní metody s demonstrativními příklady. Následuje popis návrhu a implementace překladače. Součástí této práce je tvorba nástroje pro porovnávání CSS, který je postaven na základě transformace abstraktního syntaktického stromu. Návrh komparátoru je popsán spolu s procesem testování, jenž byl použitý pro verifikaci zavedených konverzních metod. V poslední části práce jsou shrnuty dosažené výsledky a je navržen budoucí vývoj překladače

A general introduction to the concept of CSS preprocessors is provided first, which is followed by a thorough description of the Less and Sass language features. In addition to this, all the discovered differences are stated and illustrative examples of the invented conversion methods are provided in this work. This is followed by the description of the design and implementation of the proposed converter. As a part of the contribution of this thesis, a CSS comparison tool based on abstract syntax tree transformation has also been developed. Its design is described along the testing procedure used to verify the invented conversion methods. The last part of the work summarizes the achieved results and the future directions of the converter.

Human beta-defensin 3 inhibits cell wall biosynthesis in Staphylococci.
No full textHuman beta-defensin 3 (hBD3) is a highly charged (+11) cationic host defense peptide, produced by epithelial cells and neutrophils. hBD3 retains antimicrobial activity against a broad range of pathogens, including multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus, even under high-salt conditions. Whereas antimicrobial host defense peptides are assumed to act by permeabilizing cell membranes, the transcriptional response pattern of hBD3-treated staphylococcal cells resembled that of vancomycin-treated cells (V. Sass, U. Pag, A. Tossi, G. Bierbaum, and H. G. Sahl, Int. J. Med. Microbiol. 298:619-633, 2008) and suggested that inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis is a major component of the killing process. hBD3-treated cells, inspected by transmission electron microscopy, showed localized protrusions of cytoplasmic contents, and analysis of the intracellular pool of nucleotide-activated cell wall precursors demonstrated accumulation of the final soluble precursor, UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide. Accumulation is typically induced by antibiotics that inhibit membrane-bound steps of cell wall biosynthesis and also demonstrates that hBD3 does not impair the biosynthetic capacity of cells and does not cause gross leakage of small cytoplasmic compounds. In in vitro assays of individual membrane-associated cell wall biosynthesis reactions (MraY, MurG, FemX, and penicillin-binding protein 2 [PBP2]), hBD3 inhibited those enzymes which use the bactoprenol-bound cell wall building block lipid II as a substrate; quantitative analysis suggested that hBD3 may stoichiometrically bind to lipid II. We report that binding of hBD3 to defined, lipid II-rich sites of cell wall biosynthesis may lead to perturbation of the biosynthesis machinery, resulting in localized lesions in the cell wall as demonstrated by electron microscopy. The lesions may then allow for osmotic rupture of cells when defensins are tested under low-salt conditions

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
