Elephant Rumblings: JD Davis Designated for Assignment

Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports

MLB news roundup

Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday to the Athletics Nation.

Late last night we got word that the club was making a fairly notable roster move, designating 1B/3B J.D. Davis for assignment:

Infielder J.D. Davis was designated for assignment by the Oakland A's, sources tell ESPN. Davis was cut by San Francisco in spring training and received only $1.1M of his $6.9M salary before signing with Oakland for $2.5M. If he's not traded by Oakland, he'll be a free agent. Читать дальше...

The study of pentagonal chain with respect to schultz index, modified schultz index, schultz polynomial and modified schultz polynomial

by Guofeng Yu, Shahid Zaman, Mah Jabeen, Xuewu Zuo

Distance-based topological indices are numerical parameters that are derived from the distances between atoms in a molecular structure, and they provide a quantitative measure of the topology and geometry of a molecule. The distance-based topological indices uses to predict various properties of molecules, including their boiling points, melting points, and solubility. It also predicts the biological activity of molecules, including their pharmacological and toxicological properties. Читать дальше...

Barriers to USMLE Step-1 accommodations: Students with Type 1 Diabetes

by Emily L. Serata, Emily J. Noonan, Kristina H. Petersen

Purpose

Students who earn their medical doctorate (MD) in the U.S. must pass the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step-1. The application process for students with disabilities who seek Step-1 accommodations can be arduous, barrier-ridden, and can impose a significant burden that may have long-lasting effects. We sought to understand the experiences of medical students with Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) who applied for Step-1 accommodations. Читать дальше...

(Mis)matched direct and moderating relationships among pro-environmental attitudes, environmental efficacy, and pro-environmental behaviors across and within 11 countries

by Lindsay B. Miller, Ronald E. Rice

Pro-environmental behaviors are influenced by individuals’ pro-environmental attitudes and environmental efficacy, among many other factors. However, attitude-behavior models are inconsistent on whether and how attitudes, efficacy, and behaviors should match in specificity or generality, and on the moderation effect of efficacy. This study first tests a simple model including direct and moderating relationships between pro-environmental attitudes, environmental efficacy... Читать дальше...

Retinal prosthesis edge detection (RPED) algorithm: Low-power and improved visual acuity strategy for artificial retinal implants

by Yeonji Oh, Jonggi Hong, Jungsuk Kim

This paper proposes a retinal prosthesis edge detection (RPED) algorithm that can achieve high visual acuity and low power. Retinal prostheses have been used to stimulate retinal tissue by injecting charge via an electrode array, thereby artificially restoring the vision of visually impaired patients. The retinal prosthetic chip, which generates biphasic current pulses, should be located in the foveal area measuring 5 mm × 5 mm. When a high-density stimulation... Читать дальше...

Chunk boundaries disrupt dependency processing in an AG: Reconciling incremental processing and discrete sampling

by Chia-Wen Lo, Lars Meyer

Language is rooted in our ability to compose: We link words together, fusing their meanings. Links are not limited to neighboring words but often span intervening words. The ability to process these non-adjacent dependencies (NADs) conflicts with the brain’s sampling of speech: We consume speech in chunks that are limited in time, containing only a limited number of words. It is unknown how we link words together that belong to separate chunks. Here, we report that we cannot—at least not so well. Читать дальше...

Influence of the atmospheric environment on spatial variation of lung cancer incidence in China

by Haishi Yu, Yang Wang, Xiaoli Yue, Hong’ou Zhang

Conducting this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the correlation between atmospheric environmental quality and lung cancer incidence, and provides the scientific basis for formulating effective environmental protection and lung cancer prevention and control strategies. Lung cancer incidence in China has strong spatial variation. However, few studies have systematically revealed the characteristics of the spatial variation in lung cancer incidence...

Dependency-aware action planning for smart home

by Jongjin Kim, Jaeri Lee, Jeongin Yun, U. Kang

How can a smart home system control a connected device to be in a desired state? Recent developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) technology enable people to control various devices with the smart home system rather than physical contact. Furthermore, smart home systems cooperate with voice assistants such as Bixby or Alexa allowing users to control their devices through voice. In this process, a user’s query clarifies the target state of the device rather than the actions to perform. Читать дальше...

Evaluation of comprehensive early warning for higher education institutions’ cloud model of simulated enterprise management cockpit

by Weixing Fan, Zhifeng Li

The cross-disciplinary virtually simulated platform for enterprise management in universities’ new business courses is an initiative practical framework based on scenario-driven tasks. However, there is a prominent conflict between the rapid operating cycle of simulation enterprises plus their fierce competitions and the strategic demand for real-time analysis for operational data. Based on such demand, this study takes the development method of the simulated enterprise... Читать дальше...

Regulatory problems and associated factors among infants in Arba Minch health and demographic surveillance system sites, southern Ethiopia

by Agegnehu Bante, Gistane Ayele, Birhanu Alamirew, Muluken Ahmed

Introduction

Infant regulatory problems are a common source of concern for parents, and they increase the risk of impaired infant-caregiver bonding. Despite their impact, they are often overlooked in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of infant regulatory problems in Arba Minch Health and Demographic Surveillance System sites in southern Ethiopia.

Methods

A community-based... Читать дальше...
