The mighty Zambezi Drive, not very much unlike the great Zambezi River, is a major arterial in the north of Pretoria. It is a major road running in an east west orientation that carries a very high volume of traffic, together with a substantial proportion of heavy vehicles. The travel speeds are also relatively high, typically faster than the posted speed limit of 80 km/h. The traffic enters Zambezi Drive from a number of side roads (tributaries)

Question: Principles and Practice of Geriatric Psychiatry

Represent this scientific intro in order to find the title of the paper

At long last, here is a penetrating text in the field of geriatric psychiatry! When assembling a fellowship program in my early geropsych days, 1980 or so, only a couple of books were available, namely, Busse and Pfeiffer's Behavior and Adaptation in Late Life (1969) and Verwoerdt's Clinical Geropsychiatry (1976). These books contained roughly 200 to 250 pages each. More recently, the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry sponsored the publication of Comprehensive Review of Geriatric Psychiatry (1991), edited by Sadavoy, Lazarus, and Jarvik (770 pages). Principles and Practice of Geriatric Psychiatry contains more than 1000 pages and includes 148 chapters by 206 contributors, who are, in general, recognized world authorities. Roughly half are from North America, with the balance from Western Europe and Asia. This book is welcome and will probably be considered the gold standard in geriatric psychiatry. A textbook like this represents a massive undertaking. The editors and

Question: Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

A brief discussion on the relevance of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) in Sect. 9.1 is followed by a review of the type of SPDEs studied in the mathematical literature (Sect. 9.2). Section 9.3 shows that SPDEs can be solved by the methods in Chaps. 7 and 8 via time and space discretization. Section 9.4 deals with SPDEs that are frequently encountered in applications. The focus is on stochastic elliptic partial differential equations. We review general concepts on this class of equations (Sect. 9.4.1), and present solutions by Monte Carlo (Sect. 9.4.4), stochastic reduced order models (Sect. 9.4.5), stochastic Galerkin (Sect. 9.4.8), and stochastic collocation (Sect. 9.4.9) methods. The last section of the chapter considers SDEs whose coefficients have small uncertainty, and presents methods for solving these equations by Taylor (Sect. 9.5.1), perturbation (Sect. 9.5.2), and Neumann series (Sect. 9.5.3) representations.

Question: Ultrafast optical packet switching using low optical pulse energies in a self-synchronization scheme

A detailed numerical treatment is undertaken to investigate the operating characteristics of a self-synchronization scheme based on a modified terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) device for ultrafast packet switching. The simulations agree with published experimental measurements. It is shown that input picosecond optical pulse energies as low as /spl sim/100 fJ can be utilized to achieve a larger than 10 dB contrast ratio of the first to the remaining pulses of a transmitted signal packet. The utilization of low input pulse energies in the scheme also provides significant advantages including insensitivity of contrast ratio to pulse energies and pulse widths as well as distortionless extracted pulse shapes. Means for achieving a maximum contrast ratio are identified.

Question: On Bounded Strictly Positive Operators of Closed Range and Some Applications to Asymptotic Hyperstability of Dynamic Systems

The problem discussed is the stability of two input-output feedforward and feedback relations, under an integral-type constraint defining an admissible class of feedback controllers. Sufficiency-type conditions are given for the positive, bounded and of closed range feed-forward operator to be strictly positive and then boundedly invertible, with its existing inverse being also a strictly positive operator. The general formalism is first established and the linked to properties of some typical contractive and pseudocontractive mappings while some real-world applications and links of the above formalism to asymptotic hyperstability of dynamic systems are discussed later on.

Question: Measuring Mutual Fund Performance

We study standard mutual fund performance measures, using simulation procedures combined with random and random-stratified samples of NYSE and AMEX securities. We track simulated fund portfolios over time. These portfolios' performance is ordinary, and well-specified performance measures should not indicate abnormal performance. Our main result, however, is that the performance measures are badly misspecified. Regardless of the performance measure, there are indications of abnormal fund performance, including market-timing ability, when none exists.

Question: Could Hume Distinguish Selfs from Others: On Hume's Quandary Concerning Personal Identity

One kind of opinion holds that Hume felt confused because he realized that,according to his explanation of personal identity,he could not distinguish selfs from others.In this article,I will revise this kind of view,pointing out why Hume need to distinguish selfs from others and to what extent he could not make such distinction.What I want to show is that the quandary of Hume does not consist in the fact that he could not distinguish selfs from others,but in the fact that,although he could make this kind of distinction in most of the cases,he found himself fail to do so in other rare cases.

Question: The Expected Penalty for Committing a Crime: An Analysis of Minimum Wage Violations

Represent this scientific intro in order to find the title of the paper

Several papers have noted and sought to explain the paradox of minimum wage law compliance. Compliance rates are high even though the penalty for violating the law is allegedly less than the underpayment to workers. By comparison, we show that the actual penalty exceeds the underpayment. We combine our estimates of the costs of violating the law with estimates of the probability of apprehension to arrive at the expected cost of violating the law. In contrast with previous work, we find that the expected costs are sufficiently high to make compliance rational.

Question: High temperature viscosity of calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate glass from synthetic sand

Abstract Viscosity of a calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS) glass, melted from a synthetic sand with composition replicating that of air-breathing turbine engine deposits, was experimentally measured between 1215 °C and 1520 °C using a rotating spindle viscometer. Chemical composition of the CMAS glass before and after viscosity measurements was nominally 23.3CaO-6.4MgO-3.1Al 2 O 3 -62.5SiO 2 -4.1Na 2 O-0.5K 2 O-0.04Fe 2 O 3 (mol.%) as determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Experimental viscosity values were compared with those estimated from composition-based calculators of Giordano et al., Fluegel and FactSage software. Although none of these models exactly predicted viscosity values, those determined by Fluegel and FactSage models were found to more closely match experimental viscosity of the CMAS glass.

Question: Systemc Models for Realistic Simulations Involving Real-Time Operating System Services

Represent this scientific intro in order to find the title of the paper!

The paradigm shift on embedded systems synthesis currently brings the design exploration towards higher levels of abstraction. Consequently, a need arises for an early and realistic assessment of system-level design decisions as well as its support from the design language used. Moreover, while execution properties of embedded software processes, which more and more dominate the functionality of embedded systems, can considerably vary, the chosen scheduling policy influences distinctly the execution properties. Unfortunately, the current version of SystemC is still lacks of that software modeling support. Therefore, the modeling capability of SystemC is being extended in this paper by generic real-time operating system services thus providing more realistic software modeling features. System and software design alternatives can thus be early explored and different scheduling policies can be easily validated.

Influences of variable preform permeabilities and mold shapes are analysed, which show a good qualitative agreement with existing ex perimental data. This work shows that an uneven distribution of the preform permeability significantly changes the pressure field. In addition, a change of the mold shape results in a non-linear variation of the inlet pressure with impregnation time.

Question: Numerical solutions of linear quadratic control for time-varying systems via symplectic conservative perturbation

Optimal control system of state space is a conservative system, whose approximate method should be symplectic conservation. Based on the precise integration method, an algorithm of symplectic conservative perturbation is presented. It gives a uniform way to solve the linear quadratic control (LQ control) problems for linear time-varying systems accurately and efficiently, whose key points are solutions of differential Riccati equation (DRE) with variable coefficients and the state feedback equation. The method is symplectic conservative and has a good numerical stability and high precision. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Then, we use the Mellin transform method for solving this equation and obtain the price of a European option as a particular case of the proposed solution. A sensitivity analysis is carried out through numerical experiments which shows the differences between Black–Scholes model and the fractional Black–Scholes model. Moreover, an empirical analysis shows that the fractional Black–Scholes model with Hurst exponent greater than one-half is more precise to predict the real market prices than the classical Black–Sholes model.

Question: Understanding the Role of Reasoning ability in Mathematical Achievement

A theoretical link between reasoning and mathematical abilityhas been supported by some recent empirical evidence. Weargue that some of this evidence is indirect and measureselection may have influenced this relationship. We reportone study in which mathematical ability was measured usinga fluency and a calculation measure (Wood-cock Johnson-III,2001) and reasoning ability was measured using the extendedcognitive reflection test (Toplack, West & Stanovich, 2014)and a belief bias conditional reasoning task. Results from 68undergraduate students suggest that mathematical ability ispredicted by performance on the cognitive reflection test butnot conditional reasoning performance. We discuss theimplications of these findings for research on the link betweenmathematical ability and reasoning skills.

Question: PERFORMANCE OF RF REFERENCE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR THE J-PARC LINAC

Installation of the J-PARC linac machines (Phase I) has been almost completed and the beam commissioning will be started in December this year. The error of the accelerating field must be within ±1o in phase and ±1% in amplitude. Thus, high phase stability is required as an RF reference. Our objective concerning the phase stability of the reference aims at less than ±0.3o. Last year the installation of the RF reference distribution system was completed. The reference signal is optically distributed to all of the low-level RF control systems by using E/O, O/E, Optical Amplifier and Optical Couplers and so on. The performance of this system was evaluated. The phase stability of ±0.06o was obtained.

Question: Roscoe and Hvorslev Surfaces for Unsaturated Silty Soil

AbstractThe existence and characteristics of Roscoe and Hvorslev state boundary surfaces for unsaturated silty soil have been investigated by conducting controlled-suction triaxial tests on samples of an unsaturated compacted silty soil. The experimental tests were performed in a specially designed double-walled Bishop and Wesley triaxial apparatus. In the experiments, the soil samples were subjected to isotropic consolidation to a virgin state (under constant suction) followed by unloading to a predefined overconsolidation ratio (OCR). The Roscoe and Hvorslev state boundary surfaces for the unsaturated soil were studied by performing drained triaxial shearing tests on the samples with specified OCRs. The results show that the Roscoe and Hvorslev surfaces also exist for unsaturated silty soil. The location of these surfaces in the normalized space (q/pe′):(pnet/pe′) is dependent on the suction. The Roscoe surface shrinks and expands with decreasing and increasing suction, and the Hvorslev surfaces are nea...

Abstract Hot rolled aluminum alloy 6082 was subjected to tensile tests and coefficient of thermal expansion measurements. These tests were realized in order to investigate the effect of direction on its anisotropic behavior. Specimens for both tests were cut in three directions (long transverse, longitudinal rolling and short transverse) with respect to rolling direction. Results showed that the longitudinal rolling and long transverse directions had limited effect on thermomechanical properties as compared to the short transverse direction. It was found that the short transverse direction exhibited higher values of stress hardening capacity and thermal expansion coefficient, lower ductility and dilatation, than the longitudinal rolling and long transverse directions. Thermomechanical anisotropy was attributed to the microstructure and precipitation behavior. It was assessed by means of tensile tests, coefficient of thermal expansion measurements, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and differential sca...

Question: Resonant Demagnetization PWM Forward Converter

Represent the abstract for retrieving the scientific paper title

In this paper, a new approach to demagnetization process of a PWM forward converter (FC) is proposed. According to this approach, the demagnetization winding and diode of a conventional FC are removed, and an external capacitor is added in parallel with the secondary diode. This replacement changes the linear demagnetization process of a conventional FC into a resonant demagnetization process. The theoretical performance results of the proposed resonant demagnetization forward converter (RDFC) are compared with those of a conventional FC. A side by side comparison made between the two types of demagnetization strategies has shown that RDFC has some advantages over FC. The results obtained are also veried experimentally on a prototype 60 W, 333 kHz forward converter.

An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) was modified to allow direct in torch laser ablation experiments. In this setup a sample was placed at the tip of the injector tube where the ablation took place. The laser beam was focused orthogonally through the ICP torch onto the sample surface. The ablated material caused transient signals of a few milliseconds in duration in the quadrupole ICP-MS system. The setup allows comparison with conventional laser ablation (LA) ICP-MS where the sample is placed in an ablation cell and the aerosol is transferred to the ICP via plastic tubing. The same number of counts per laser shot were measured for both sample introduction systems. However, the limit of detection (LOD) for uranium in glass (NIST SRM 610) was improved by two orders of magnitude, which is caused by the significantly reduced dispersion of the aerosol entering the plasma.

Early detection of trace-level halogenated contaminants in hydrocarbon processes and streams can prevent downtime due to catalyst poisoning and corrosion. Because these contaminants exist at the parts per million (ppm) level, hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) facilities must use advanced analytical technologies to monitor raw materials, process streams and finished products. Several case histories show the pros and cons to detecting and quantifying organic-halogenated contamination. Analytical methods investigated include reductive microcoulometry, gas chromatography/flame ionization, Wickbold combustion and electrolytic conductivity detection.

Question: Design of sliding mode controllers with bounded L 2 gain performance: an LMI approach

Represent this abstract from a paper to retrieve its scientific title

This paper is devoted to the design of robust controllers for sliding mode control systems. A linear fractional transformation (LFT) framework is adopted to describe the systems subject to model uncertainties and external disturbances. A linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique is then developed into the design of both sliding mode and reaching phase control laws. It is shown that by solving a set of LMIs, the switching surface can be designed such that the dynamics in the sliding mode achieve robust stability and bounded L 2 gain performance with respect to matched and unmatched uncertainties in the presence of disturbances. Furthermore, a reaching phase control law is presented to eliminate the undesirable chattering effect and maintain the robustness property all the time whether the system evolves into its sliding mode in finite time or not. Finally, an observer based control law is also developed to achieve the robust performance during the reaching phase. The results are illustrated by an example.

This paper investigates the problem of robust H; ∞ filtering for uncertain two-dimensional (2-D) discrete systems in the Fornasini-Marchesini local state-space (FM LSS) model with polytopic uncertain parameters. The goal of the paper is to design filters such that the finite frequency (FF) H; ∞ norm of the filtering error system has a specified upper bound for all uncertainties. A generalized bounded real lemma (BRL) is first derived for FF H; ∞ performance analysis of nominal 2-D FM LSS systems, and then a method, in terms of solving optimization problems with LMI constraints, is presented for robust FF H; ∞ filter analysis and design. An illustrative example is given to show the improvements of the proposed filter design methods.

Question: Characterization of a Full-Scale Prebaked Carbon Anode Using X-Ray Computerized Tomography

In the conventional Hall-Heroult electrolysis process, the carbon anode is formed either by pressing or by vibro-compaction. The final properties of an anode are influenced by many parameters such as raw materials properties and manufacturing process. Presently, the aluminium producers have to deal with continuous variation of raw materials properties. To minimize the effects of the raw materials variations on the final product quality, numerical modeling of the forming process is of great interest. However, it is imperative to collect data on real anodes in order to calibrate these models. Some of the most valuable data are the density and porosity distribution of a full-scale baked anode obtained with computed tomography (CT). To test the method, three cored samples of 300 mm in diameter were taken from an industrial anode and scanned with an X-Ray tomograph. Calibration standards were also used to fit the CT scan results with the experimental data.

Question: N-hydroxymethylation of ethylene-bridged glycine metal(II) complexes by formaldehyde

The (N,N'-ethylenediglycinato)metal(II) complexes, M(edg) (M = Cu, Zn, Ni, Co) undergo N-hydroxymethylation with formaldehyde in the pH range similar to3.5-9.5 to yield the respective [N,N'-ethylenedi(N-hydroxymethyl-glycinato)]metal(II), ML x H2O (L = N,N'-ethylenedi(N-hydroxymethylglycinate); x = 4, 4.5). The crystal and molecular structures of the Ni(edg) 3H(2)O and ML 4H(2)O (M = Ni, Cu, Co) complexes have been determined; all the complexes have distorted octahedral geometries and their tetradentate ligands have oc-cis configuration. Analysis of these structures also shows that the N-hydroxymethylated ligands are stereospecifically coordinated. However, M(edg) do not undergo Mannich ammomethylation with formaldehyde and ammonia. In the reactions studied, the alpha-carbon of M(edg) is unaffected by formaldehyde attack. No further condensation of the N-hydroxymethyl substituents and their potential reactivity are also explained. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The diatom assemblages of 47 lentic heathland waters, mostly moorland pools, on two military range and training grounds in the Belgian northern Campine were surveyed. In many of the pools a marked dominance of Eunotia exigua and a very low species diversity was observed. In most of them only a trivial diatom flora remains. A few waters on the border of the terrains are clearly polluted by agricultural waste. Assemblages and taxa indicating meso-oligotrophic, less extremely acid conditions are restricted to deeper waters, slightly influenced by ground water, and sites apparently affected by more mineral-rich seepage from lowland streamlets. These observations are discussed in the light of acidification and possible management of heathland waters.

In this paper, we develop a new perturbed iterative algorithm framework with errors based on the variational graphical convergence of operator sequences with (A, η)-accretive mappings in Banach space. By using the generalized resolvent operator technique associated with (A, η)-accretive mappings, we also prove the existence of solutions for a class of generalized nonlinear relaxed cocoercive operator equation systems and the variational convergence of the sequence generated by the perturbed iterative algorithm in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. The obtained results improve and generalize some well-known results in recent literatures.

In this paper, we shall establish iterative fixed points of non-Lipschitzian continuous self-mappings on Banach spaces with weak uniform normal structure.

Results indicate that awareness of AMIs is increasing, as is the willingness to accept them with an initial interest rate discount and a limitation on the range over which the interest rate can fluctuate. Findings suggest that some consumers have moved beyond the information-gathering stage, now view nontraditional mortgages as a legitimate mechanism for financing home purchases, and are willing to accept certain configurations of these instruments.

Phase pure, well-crystallized and homogeneous LiFePO{sub 4} powder with inverse opal structure was obtained by calcining the precursors of Li{sup +}, Fe{sup 2+} and PO{sub 4} {sup 3-} in the presence of organic template of poly(styrene-methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid) latex micro-spheres under nitrogen atmosphere. The resultant products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), chemical titration, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Land 2001A electrochemical measurement system. Results indicated that after the decomposition of organic template, inverse opal structure and conductive carbon were left in the resultant products. With the large specific surface area resulting from inverse opal structure and with the conductive carbon, the products delivered satisfactory capacity and superior rate capability at room temperature, i.e., over 100 mAh/g at the high current density of 5.9C.

To increase electrode cycling performance in batteries, most researchers generally focus their work on the active material optimisation. Here we show that the polymeric binder of the composite electrode may have an important role on the electrode performance. We describe a new tailored polymeric binder combination with controlled polymer-filler (carbon black) interactions that allows the preparation of new and more efficient electrode architecture. Using this polymeric binder, composite electrodes based on Li 1.2 V 3 O 8 display a room-temperature cycling capacity of 280 mAh/g (C/5 rate, 3.3–2 V) instead of 150 mAh/g using a standard-type (PVdF-HFP binder) composite electrode. We have coupled SEM observations, galvanostatic cycling and electronic conductivity measurements in order to define and understand the impact of the microstructure of the composite electrode on its electrochemical performance.

Question: Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in the elucidation of the structure of piperidine alkaloids

Represent the abstract for retrieving the scientific paper title

Piperidine heterocycles are present in the structure of many alkaloids, for example coniine in the structures of lobelia, cocaine alkaloids and sedum alkaloids, Sedum alkaloids are 2,6-disubstituted derivatives of piperidine or N-methylpiperidine. Extracts obtained from Sedum acre L. were investigated for the presence of alkaloids by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Identification has been carried out on the basis of retention time, molecular ion mass and characteristic fragmentation. Investigated extracts contained unknown alkaloids which belong to the piperidine group of sedum alkaloids. Mass spectral fragmentation patterns and a proposed structure for the unknown alkaloids are discussed.

Question: Consumer Health Information Services and Programs: Best Practices

One of the most important aspects of consumer health information services and programs is the emphasis on best practices. As a consumer health librarian, I am always looking for successful examples of services and programs that I can offer to the patients and families of my hospital. This book is an invaluable resource for consumer health librarians, especially those who are solo, as I am. I usually have to attend the Medical Library Association (MLA) annual meeting or solicit ideas from MEDLIB-L readers to find out about ideas that work.

Operative laparoscopists continue to refine surgical techniques applicable to patients with gynecologic malignancies. Various techniques for radical hysterectomy and larger series of patients with endometrial cancer have now been reported. The technical feasibility of such operations is being established. Although oncologic patients may enjoy the known benefits of laparoscopic surgery, such as shorter hospitalization, the known shortcomings, such as longer operative times and increased cost, are a concern. The unknown shortcomings and the unknown overall survival of laparoscopically managed patients continue to keep the majority of oncologic surgeons a safe distance away.

As a specialty, urology has made significant strides in the area of minimally ::: invasive surgery. More work needs to be done, however, if urologists can ::: expect to keep up with patient demand and stay competitive with general ::: surgeons, obstetrician-gynecologists, and other specialists.

Question: Twinning in GaAs nanowires on patterned GaAs(111)B

We have studied twinning in GaAs nanowires grown via holes in a silica mask deposited on GaAs(111)B substrates by metal-organic chemical vapour epitaxy without catalysts. Twins perpendicular to the growth direction form in the nanowires, their {111}-type side facets leading to corrugation of their {110} side walls. The top facets are almost atomically smooth. Aberration corrected annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy reveals all twins are rotational, commencing with layers of Ga and finishing with As atoms. Energy-loss spectroscopic profiling has shown no significant changes in the band-gap or bulk plasmon energy at those twin boundaries, and the observed reduction of the interface plasmon energy by ∼0.13 eV is close to the detection limit of the technique, reflecting the very low energetic electronic changes related to twin formation.

A high resolution transmission electron microscopy study was carried out on amorphous-Si1-xCx:H/crystalline-Si heterojunction interfaces, where amorphous-Si1-xCx:H films were deposited on Si(111) and Si(100) substrates at 300°C using an inductively-coupled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. Abrupt amorphous/crystal interfaces were observed on both (111) and (100) Si substrates.

Question: Ailing uranium millworkers seek recognition, aid

Uranium millworkers who helped produce uranium for the U.S. nuclear defense program in the 1950's and 1960's are suing the federal government and uranium companies for compensation for illnesses that they believe are job-related. Symptoms of these illnesses include frequent blackouts, chronic bronchitis, asthma, constant fatigue, and susceptibility to colds. Research is being conducted to determine whether the millworkers' symptoms are due to excessive radiation exposure. Studies to date indicated that during the 1950's and early 1960's, radiation protection procedures at uranium milling facilities were extremely deficient. (2 photos)
