This issue contains 5 original articles covering various topics in the application of data sciences to public health practice. These range from development of data visualization platforms to facilitate health workforce planning; the development of visualization methods for utilizing incomplete data for surveillance; development of agent-based model to explore the prevalence of gonococcal infect...

Considering the perceptual importance of phonetic transitions as minimal contextual variant units, this paper addresses the problem by modelling explicitly interphone dynamics covered in diphones. Subspace projections based on a time-constrained PCA (TC-PCA) are developed which focus on the temporal evolution. They reveal characteristic trajectories present in a lowdimensional spectral represen...

Vernonia galamensis Cass is a huge potential industrial crop with very high content of vernolic acid in the seed oil. The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of inter- and intra- row spacing on the yield and yield related traits of Vernonia galamensis Cas.The experiment was conducted for two years during 2014-2015 on experimental field of Wondo Genet Agricultural research center,...

Cryo-EM density maps showing the 70S ribosome of E. coli in two different functional states related by a ratchet-like motion were analyzed using real-space refinement. Comparison of the two resulting atomic models shows that the ribosome changes from a compact structure to a looser one, coupled with the rearrangement of many of the proteins. Furthermore, in contrast to the unchanged inter-subun...

The reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) paradigm encapsulates methodologies that enable manufacturing systems to cope effectively with market and product changes. This research presents the design and evaluation of modular reconfigurable machine (MRM) tools as a novel machining solution within the scope of RMS. Mechanical and control designs are presented, outlining the development of thi...

The Honeycomb Selection Design (HSD) is an innovative experimental method whose main feature the even and systematic entry arrangement. Its systematicity, if combined with absence of inter-plant competition that maximizes phenotypic expression differentiation individual plants, enables implementation single-plant selection as early initial generations genetic segregation, facilitating plant bre...

One of the most important issues in the plant layout design especially in mass production organizations with high inter-plant logistics is‘material flow and inter-plant traffic analysis and its effects on the production capabilities or pauses in production lines. In this paper the inter-plant traffic analysis issue on the basis of single channel queue model (M/M/1) is analyzed in a carmaker c...

there are two major methods in predincing the pattern of share value in the stock market: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. i this study we developed a novel model for fundamental analysis of share price and validated it by predicting the behavior of phrama share price in tehran stock market. the efficiency of the fundamental method was compared with that of indicator-based technical...

Feeling hurt, let down, betrayed, disappointed, or wronged by another human being is a universal experience. In the face of such injury, negative feelings (e.g., anger, resentment, disappointment) are common. Motivation to avoid the source of the harm, or even a desire to retaliate or seek revenge, is also typical. Indeed, revenge occurs across species (Aureli, Cozzolino, Cordischi, & Scucchi, ...
