This study examined the development of children's perceptions of popular and unpopular peers. Subjects were 784 children in kindergarten, $2^{nd}$, $4^{th}$, and $6^{th}$ grades. Research findings were that : (1)socio-metric popularity and perceived popularity correlated positively with athletic ability, academic ability, and prosocial behavior. Whereas two subtypes of aggression(physical aggression and relational aggression) correlated negatively with sociometric popularity, perceived popularity correlated positively with relational aggression in 6th grade. (2)Social behaviors consistently emerged across developmental periods as predictors of popularity. (3)Academic ability was an important characteristic of popular children. (4)Teachers' praise and punishment affected popularity in kindergarten and $2^{nd}$grade children, but peer effect was more important for $4^{th}$ and $6^{th}$graders.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames strengthened by profiled steel sheet bracing which takes the influence of infill walls into consideration. One-bay, two-story, 1/3 scale two specimens shared same feature of dimensions, one specimen consists only beams and columns; the other one is reinforced by profiled steel sheet bracing with infill walls. Hysteretic curves, envelope curves, stiffness degradation curves and energy dissipation capacities are presented based on test data. Test results indicate that the ultimate load of strengthened specimen has been improved by 225%. The stiffness of reinforced by profiled steel sheet bracing has been increased by 108%. This demonstrates that infill walls and profiled steel sheet bracing enhanced the strength and stiffness distinctly. Energy dissipation has an obvious increase after 12 cycles. This shows that the reinforced specimen is able to bear the lateral load effectively and absorb lots of seismic energy.

Protein modification by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) controls diverse cellular functions of protein targets including transcription factors and coregulators mainly in the nucleus and participates in maintaining cellular homeostasis. In addition, SUMO system plays important roles in DNA damage repair and maintaining genome integrity. Thus, in some cases, the loss of control on SUMOylation or deSUMOylation processes causes a defect in maintaining homeostasis and hence gives a cue to cancer development. Furthermore, recent study showed that SUMO system is also involved in cancer metastasis. In this review, we will summarize and discuss the possible role of SUMO system in cancer development and metastasis.

This article propose a new idea of developing a hybrid scheme to achieve faster INS alignment with higher accuracy using a novel procedure to estimate the initial attitude angles that combines a Kalman filter and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System architecture. A tactical grade inertial measurement unit was applied to verify the performance of proposed scheme in this study. The preliminary results indicated the outstanding improvements in both time consumption for fine alignment process and accuracy of estimated attitude angles, especially in heading angles. In general, the improvement in terms of time consumption and the accuracy of estimated attitude estimated accuracy reached 80% and 70% respectively during alignment process after compensating the attitude angles estimated by an extended Kalman filter with 15 states using proposed approach. It is worth mentioned that the proposed approach can be implemented in general real time navigation applications.

Similarity searching is a basic issue in information processing because of the large size of formal contexts and their complicated derivation operators. Recently, some researchers have focused on knowledge reduction methods by using granular computing. In this process, suitable information granules are vital to characterizing the quantities of attributes and objects. To address this problem, a novel approach to obtain an entropy-weighted concept lattice with inclusion degree and similarity distance (ECLisd) has been proposed. The approach aims to compute the combined weights by merging the inclusion degree and entropy degree between two concepts. In addition, another method is utilized to measure the hierarchical distance by considering the different degrees of importance of each attribute. Finally, the rationality of the ECLisd is validated via a comparative analysis.

In Computer Graphics, Phong shading algorithm is essential and also sufficient for producing realistic images. In this paper, we propose an approach taking only two additions and one memory access for shading a pixel. A Phong-Shading table is used for storing the values of diffuse and specular components of the Phong reflection model. The intensity of a pixel can be obtained by table lookup. The performance of proposed method is almost the same as Gouraud shading.

Compounds from Lingzhi has been demonstrated the ability for inhibiting tyrosinase (a key enzyme in melanogenesis) activity. In this study, we investigated the anti-melanogenic activity from the submerged mycelial culture of Ganoderma weberianum and elucidated the skin lightening mechanism by B16-F10 murine melanoma cells. From the cellular context, several fractionated mycelium samples exhibited anti-melanogenic activity by reducing more than 40% extracellular melanin content of B16-F10 melanoma cells. In particular, the fractionated chloroform extract (CF-F3) inhibited both secreted and intracellular melanin with the lowest dosage (25 ppm). Further analysis demonstrated that CF-F3 inhibited cellular tyrosinase activity without altering its protein expression. Taken together, our study has demonstrated that the chemical extracts from submerged mycelial culture of G. weberianum have the potential to serve as an alternative anti-melanogenic agent.

In this paper, the paired Hayman conjecture of different types are considered, namely, the zeros distribution of f(z)ⁿL(g) - a(z) and g(z)ⁿL(f) - a(z), where L(h) takes the derivatives h^(k)(z) or the shift h(z+c) or the difference h(z+c)-h(z) or the delay-differential h^(k)(z+c), where k is a positive integer, c is a non-zero constant and a(z) is a nonzero small function with respect to f(z) and g(z). The related uniqueness problems of complex delay-differential polynomials are also considered.

The process of cavitation involves generation, growth, coalescence, and collapse of small bubbles and is tremendously influenced by bubble-bubble interactions. To understand these interactions, a new cavitation model based on the transport equation is proposed herein. The modified Rayleigh-Plesset equation is analyzed to determine the bubble growth rate by assuming equal-sized spherical bubble clouds. The source term in the transport equation is then derived according to the bubble growth rate with the bubble-bubble interaction. The proposed model is validated by various test simulations, including microscopic bubble cloud evolution as well as macroscopical two- and three-dimensional cavitating flows. Compared with previous models, namely the Kunz and Zwart cavitation models, the newly proposed model does not require adjustable parameters and generally results in better predictions both microscopic and macroscopical cases. This model is more physical.

In this paper, we introduce and study regular rings relative to the hereditary torsion theory w (a special case of a well-centered torsion theory over a commutative ring), called w-regular rings. We focus mainly on the w-regularity for w-coherent rings and w-Noetherian rings. In particular, it is shown that the w-coherent w-regular domains are exactly the Prüfer v-multiplication domains and that an integral domain is w-Noetherian and w-regular if and only if it is a Krull domain. We also prove the w-analogue of the global version of the Serre-Auslander-Buchsbaum Theorem. Among other things, we show that every w-Noetherian w-regular ring is the direct sum of a finite number of Krull domains. Finally, we obtain that the global weak w-projective dimension of a w-Noetherian ring is 0, 1, or ∞.
