Vegetable oils by 95 - 99% consist of triglycerides - esters of fatty acids and glycerine, and after refining their content increases to 98.5 - 99.5%. Human health is positively influenced by triglycerides, which contain the essential fatty acids ω -6 i ω -3 (linoleic and α - linolenic). It was found that there are no vegetable oils with balanced fatty acid structure in nature. Such oils can be produced artificially, for example by selection or genetic modification of oilseeds. The most technologically and therefore cost-effective is the method of mixing (blending) of oils. The article explains the choice of vegetable oils and offers a simple mathematical calculation of formulations of their mixtures, balanced according to fatty acid structure. The blendings calculated according to the equations can be used as food and for production of emulsion goods. Because of the nature of the Ukrainian market, we can assume that the product will be successful, because it will be affordable and good for health.


Human serum ribonuclease activity was found to be significantly elevated in the sera of hyperthyroid patients as compared with sera from normal and myxedematous individuals. The administration of thyroid hormone to a patient with myxedema caused a prompt elevation of serum ribonuclease activity, and the enzyme levels in hyperthyroid patients were reduced to normal when adequate treatment was instituted. The serum ribonuclease was inhibited by heating and heparin in the same manner as was bovine crystalline ribonuclease. Two peaks of alkaline ribonuclease activity were found when human serum was subjected to electrophoresis on starch blocks. These findings are discussed briefly.


The temperature thresholds for wing‐beating and successful flight in alienicolae of Aphis fabae were found by flying tethered aphids in a falling temperature and by dropping free aphids in still air at different temperatures. The median temperature thresholds for wingbeating, horizontal and upward flight were 6.5°, 13° and 15° C respectively.


The paper "On Violence: an Exchange with ChatGPT — ChatGPT and Suman Gupta" presents a dialogue between ChatGPT and the Author. The Author explores the extent of the concept of violence arising from ChatGPT responses, including through the use of some typical scenarios


The systems consisting of a two-phase mixture, as clouds of bubbles or drops, have shown many common features in their responses to different external force fields. One of particular interest is the effect of an unsteady pressure field applied to these systems, case in which the coupling of the vibrations induced in two neighboring components (two drops or two bubbles) may result in an interaction force between them. This behavior was explained by Bjerknes by postulating that every body that is moving in an accelerating fluid is subjected to a 'kinetic buoyancy' equal with the product of the acceleration of the fluid multiplied by the mass of the fluid displaced by the body. The external sound wave applied to a system of drops/bubbles triggers secondary sound waves from each component of the system. These secondary pressure fields integrated over the surface of the neighboring drop/bubble may result in a force additional to the effect of the primary sound wave on each component of the system. In certain conditions, the magnitude of these secondary forces may result in significant changes in the dynamics of each component, thus in the behavior of the entire system. In a system containing bubbles, the sound wave radiated by one bubble at the location of a neighboring one is dominated by the volume oscillation mode and its effects can be important for a large range of frequencies. The interaction forces in a system consisting of drops are much smaller than those consisting of bubbles. Therefore, as a first step towards the understanding of the drop-drop interaction subject to external pressure fluctuations, it is more convenient to study the bubble interactions. This paper presents experimental results and theoretical predictions concerning the interaction and the motion of two levitated air bubbles in water in the presence of an acoustic field at high frequencies (22-23 KHz).


Primary dermal melanoma (PDM) is a rare variant of melanoma that is confined to the dermis and/or subcutaneous tissue and does not have an epidermal component (1). There are a few published case series of PDM, which suggest that patients with PDM have an excellent 5-year survival rate, ranging from 73% to 100% (1–4). PDM has a more favourable prognosis than that of primary cutaneous melanoma. More recently, several studies have revealed the molecular features of PDM (4–7). Gene mutation analyses in PDM have not found any mutations in the MAPK pathway genes (4–6). We report here a rare case of BRAFmutated, giant PDM with rapid progression. This is the first report of PDM harbouring BRAF V600E mutation.

In view of the problem that water resources carrying capacity(WRCC)evaluation indexes cannot describe the fuzziness and randomness,normal cloud model is introduced into regional water resources carrying capacity evaluation.Based on the normal cloud model,this paper evaluates the water resources carrying capacity by taking Zhejiang Province as an example.The results show that:during the period of 2006 to 2009,the state of WRCC in Zhejiang province is always in class II(general)and relatively stable;the comprehensive value of WRCC has increased from 1.960 3to 2.052 2,but an individual evaluation index is still in danger situation and the single factor index is less than 1.5,which need to be further enhanced and improved.Normal cloud model let the WRCC quantitative evaluation can consider the randomness and fuzziness.The research results can provide certain reference for the sustainable development of regional water resources.


In a trial designed to quantify the reduction of Pinus radiata D.Don growth caused by a range of weed species, tree seedlings were grown weed-free or with herbaceous broadleaves (a volunteer mixture of species from which grasses were excluded), Cytisus scoparius L. (broom), Ulex europaeus L. (gorse), Buddleja davidii Franchet (buddleia), Holcus lanatus L. (Yorkshire fog) plus Lolium multiflorum L. (Italian ryegrass), Lotus uliginosus Schk, (lotus), or Cortaderia selloana (Schult) Asch. et Graeb. (pampas). Water and nutrient levels were varied by factorial irrigation and fertiliser treatment. After 3 years tree stem volume was greatest in weed-free, lotus, gorse, and grass treatments and least with buddleia and pampas. The effect of herbaceous broadleaves and broom was intermediate. It was concluded that tall, fast-growing, weed species reduced P. radiata growth by restricting light availability to tree crowns. No convincing evidence was found to link the large growth losses with interference in water or nutrient supply.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the patterns of global and regional hippocampal volume (HV) changes in paediatric multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, and their correlations with clinical, neuropsychological and MRI metrics.
 BACKGROUND: Hippocampal demyelination and neurodegeneration occur early in MS.
 DESIGN/METHODS: From 53 paediatric MS patients and 18 healthy controls (HC), brain dual-echo and 3DT1-weighted images were acquired. Global HV was computed using a manual tracing procedure. Regional HV changes were assessed using a radial mapping analysis. Patients with abnormal performance in 蠅2 tests of the Brief Neuropsychological Battery for Children were classified as cognitively impaired (CI). Global and regional HV changes were compared between groups and correlated with disease duration, EDSS, BRBC tests scores, T2- and T1-lesion volume (LV), normalized brain (NBV), gray matter (GMV) and white matter volumes (WMV).
 RESULTS: Global HV was reduced, bilaterally, in patients versus HC (p<0.001), but not significantly correlated with clinical and MRI measures. In patients, radial atrophy affected the cornu Ammonis (CA1), subiculum and dentate gyrus (DG) subfields of both hippocampi, mostly on the right side (p<0.001). Radial hypetrophy of the DG subfield was found in both hippocampi, mostly on the left side. Significant correlations were found between regional HV changes and clinical and MRI metrics. Twenty-one (39.6%) patients were CI. Global HV did not differ between CI versus CP MS patients. Compared to CP patients, CI ones had areas of radial atrophy of the subiculum and DG subfields of the right hippocampus (p<0.001). Significant correlations were found between regional HV changes and memory, attention and language abilities.
 CONCLUSIONS: Hippocampal subregions have a different vulnerability to MS-related damage, possibly reflecting differential susceptibility to inflammatory insults and neurodegenerative processes of the hippocampal subfields. These results support the feasibility of MR-based radial mapping for the development of reliable markers of disease progression in MS.

It will be shown that the SET-based router has a promising performance considering parameters such as speed, power consumption and area.


&NA; Adult bone marrow‐derived stem cells have traditionally been known as tissue‐specific stem cells capable of producing blood cells. This concept is being challenged by a series of recent discoveries. It has been demonstrated that there are heterogeneous stem cell populations in adult bone marrow compartment. Under appropriate experimental conditions, a certain type of bone marrow stem cells appears to differentiate (or transdifferentiate) into a variety of non‐haemopoietic cells of ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal origins (such as myocytes, neural cells and hepatocytes). The plasticity, that is, the ability to regenerate cells belonging to different organs and tissues of adult (postnatal) stem cells, has raised the therapeutic possibility of using these stem cells for tissue repair and regeneration. Presently, definitive evidence for plasticity or transdifferentiation of bone marrow stem cells is lacking. Despite controversies concerning the plasticity of bone marrow‐derived stem cells, early clinical trials are being conducted in patients suffering from myocardial infarct, arthritic and neurological diseases using autologous bone marrow stem cells. This review summarises recent progresses and controversies in transdifferentiation of adult bone marrow‐derived stem cells to non‐haemopoietic tissues.


We propose a watermarking scheme which allows the watermarked image to be authenticated by an authentication agent without revealing to the authentication agent the human-readable content of the image by combining privacy control with watermarking and authentication mechanisms. This watermarking scheme has universal applicability to data sets such as image, video and audio bit streams. The watermark can be made to be imperceptible to humans. Usage of public key cryptography allows the authentication agent to authenticate without the capabilities to watermark an image.


Abstract : Four flow survey rakes with one, two, four, and eight, 40-deg conically tipped probes were calibrated to establish pressure coefficient char acteristics at selected Mach numbers and angles of attack and to determine whether intra-probe interference existed at transonic speeds. The calibration was conducted at Mach numbers from 0.70 to 1.40 and angles of attack from -10 to 15 deg. The Reynolds number based on cone maximum diameter varied from 0.14 to 0.17 million. The results showed that pressure differences measured by diametrically opposed orifices were linear with angle of attack for all rake configurations. Total pressures and average static pressures measured on the probes decreased with increasing angle of attack. The two- and four-probe configurations showed no interference effects, and the eight-probe configuration indicated interference effects at all test Mach numbers.


Patricia Minuchin is the Codirector of Family Studies, Inc., Professor Emerita at Temple University, and is associated with the Minuchin Center for the Family in New York City. Jorge Colapinto is a family therapist and consultant to human service organizations in the development and implementation of systems models of service delivery. Salvador Minuchin is the Director of Family Studies, Inc, and is associated with the Minuchin Center for the Family. For about 40 years now, the name Minuchin has been synonymous with the Family Systems approach to psychotherapeutic intervention. In this second edition, the authors reinforce the importance of a systems-level orientation when intervening with the families of the poor. This orientation is something that remains ''constant'' between the first and second editions. The need for a second edition is based upon the evolution and exponentially expanding complexities of the population that the author's thoughtfully label the ''multicrisis poor.'' The existing methods of intervention that focus on the needs of the individual are well-intentioned, yet they often lack the consideration of the systemic interconnections of the family that may be necessary for successful treatment outcomes. After a brief review of the theoretical foundations and the value of the systemic orientation, the authors illustrate the need for well-coordinated, systemic interventions by presenting the case of Angie and her family. This case depicts this family swimming against the current of a variety of helping systems (direct service providers, substance abuse treatment programs, housing programs, and foster care). Each helping agency system presents bureaucratic and structural roadblocks that hinder therapeutic progress and at times put the goals of each agency at odds. The authors use their knowledge as consultants for a variety of agencies to provide an objective understanding of the structure, process, successes, and failures that impact the multicrisis poor. The authors also point out that as consultants or ''outsiders,'' they often miss out on important subtext that employees or ''insiders'' could point out quite easily. This book is organized into eight chapters divided into two main parts. Part I of the book, Fundamentals of Family-Oriented Thought and Practice, includes chapters titled The New Edition: Elements of Constancy and Change, The Framework: A Systems Orientation and a Family-Centered Approach, Working in the System: Family-Supportive Skills, and Changing Child & Family Behavior Therapy, 32:334–341, 2010 Copyright # Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0731-7107 print=1545-228X online DOI: 10.1080/07317107.2010.515845


Internship is one way to improve the ability of workers in the industry. Problems that exist in apprenticeship monitoring have not been effective. This study aims to 1) review the effective management of internship, 2) describe the improved quality of learning in vocational high school toward industry 4.0. 3) illustrate the conceptual model of e-monprakerin in vocational high school. The management of internship consists of planning, organizing, actuating and controlling. This research is qualitative descriptive research based on the literature as an effort to maximize the management of internship in vocational high schools to support the end goals of the industry 4.0. The industry 4.0 covers the automation and digital data exchange in the industrial technology including cyber-physical systems, the internet of thing, cloud computing and cognitive computing. The results show that the internship management has found the weaknesses in some aspects that are planning process, organization, actuation and control. Conceptually, the inadequacies of the internship monitoring can be minimized through the additional elements of e-monprakerin.

A recent trend in the industrial applications of robust pa- rameter design is to consider complex systems which are called "sys- tems with dynamic characteristics" in Taguchi's terminology or signal- response systems in this paper. This potentially important tool in quality engineering lacks a solid basis on which to build a rigorous body of the- ory and methodology. The purpose of this paper is to provide such a basis. We classify signal-response systems into two broad types: mea- surement systems and multiple target systems. Three issues are then of fundamental importance. First, a proper performance measure needs to be chosen for system optimization, and this choice depends on the type of system. Taguchi's dynamic signal-to-noise ratio is shown to be appropri- ate for certain measurement systems but not for multiple target systems. Second, there are two strategies for modeling and analyzing data: perfor- mance measure modeling and response function modeling. Finally, the proper design of such experiments should take into account the model- ing and analysis strategy. The proposed methodology is illustrated with a real experiment on injection molding.


Background: Suicidal behaviour is frequently seen in context of depression. Few studies have demonstrated
sociodemographic distinction between depression with and without suicidal behaviour. This study compares various
psycho-socio-demographic factors associated with depression in context of suicidal behaviour.
Materials And Methods: 60 depression patients with suicidal behaviour and 60 depression patients without suicidal behaviour were compared
using a specially designed intake proforma, ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for research,Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-17 (HAMD-17).
Results: Depression with suicidal behaviour had more females, married, Hindu, literate, low socioeconomic status, urban locality, nuclear family
samples, with earlier age of onset of illness. The total HAM-D scores were signicantly higher in the depression with suicidal behaviour group.
Conclusions: Sociodemographic parameters are intricated crucially with suicidality.The present study identies female gender, nuclear family,
urban background, unemployment and literacy to be an independent risk factor for suicidality. Suicidal behaviour increases with amount of time
spent in depressive illness. Hence socio-demographic factors can be helpful as indicators of suicidal behaviour with depression.


Purpose of reviewThe phenomenon of long-term nonprogression in HIV infection has been recognized for some time, and the ability of rare individuals, designated 'elite controllers', to control HIV in the absence of therapy is the focus of numerous ongoing studies. This review focuses on studies of HIV-specific immune responses in mucosal tissues as a potential correlate of immune control, with an emphasis on recently published work. Recent findingsGenetic studies have implicated a role for elements localized to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6 in the immune control of HIV infection. In parallel, functional studies have strongly implicated MHC class I-restricted, CD8+ T-cell responses as a major contributor to elite control. In addition, the localization of HIV-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells with respect to the major sites of virus replication in the body may be critical in determining clinical outcome. SummaryRecent findings suggest that MHC class I-restricted, CD8+ T cells are a major component of immune control in 'elite controllers'. In addition, the presence of these effector cells at or near critical viral reservoirs, such as mucosal tissues, may be critical in determining their effectiveness at limiting viral replication and dissemination.

Ovarian cancer remains responsible for the most gynecologic cancer-related deaths in women worldwide, and is the fifth leading cause of death overall [1]. The careful development of a series of randomized trials involving numerous patients, investigators and clinical trial groups encompassing many countries have led to an improvement in median overall survival from 1 year in 1975 to approximately 5 years in 2009 for optimally debulked patients with stage III disease [2–4]. This issue of Therapy reviews ongoing studies on numerous fronts that have the potential to further improve outcomes related to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of patients with ovarian cancer. Improved cancer outcomes are associated with the need to further improve fertility preservation techniques for women with ovarian cancer. However, a recent study suggested that only 47% of oncologists refer cancer patients of childbearing age to a reproductive endo crinologist [5]. This important issue is reviewed by Herzog and colleagues [6]. They review data supporting the appropriate setting to consider fertility preservation for patients with low malignant potential, germ cell tumors and early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. The lack of large random ized studies to direct choices in an evidence-based fashion is acknowledged, but the careful interpretation of smaller studies has allowed the development of consensus-based recommendations. In addition to the technical aspects of fertility-sparing surgery, the lack of an apparent negative effect of modern adjuvant therapy on subsequent fertility is also discussed [7]. The second part of the review addresses the emerging technology with regard to fertility preservation options. Embryo, oocyte and ovarian tissue cryo preservation allow for a wide variety of options not heretofore possible. The retrieval of oocytes also no longer requires surges in estrogen, which is important in patients with potentially estrogensensitive malignancies [8]. In addition, in vitro maturation techniques are further improving the viability of oocyte and embryo cryopreservation specimens [9]. The challenges presented here are how to integrate these technologies in a way that does not compromise cancer outcome, and this requires a careful collaboration of medical and gynecologic oncology with reproductive endocrinologists and maternal–fetal specialists. The association with improved survival and optimal primary surgical cytoreduction remains well established and recent data support the goal of complete surgical cytoreduction as having the best outcome [10]. As with many important questions in oncology, the role of secondary surgical cytoreduction is not as well defined due to a variety of factors, including patient hetero geneity, physician and patient biases, and the lack of multiple random ized prospective trials. Chi and colleagues summarize the available data supporting this approach [11]. Theoretical support is derived from older mathematical models suggesting that there is an increased rate of growth (hence chemo therapy sensitivity) in small-volume tumors, and decreasing the number of tumor cells lessens the chance for resistance-inducing mutations. The case is made that the goal of secondary surgical cyto reduction must be a complete resection if a benefit is to be achieved. The article goes on to examine selection criteria proposed to predict a successful surgical outcome (utilizing the DESKTOP I and II trials), estimates the frequency with which this can be accomplished and, finally, identifies the prognostic factors to predict prolonged survival after secondary surgical cytoreduction [12]. Most importantly, both the AGO and GOG are conducting large random ized trials addressing the value of secondary cyto reduction followed by chemo therapy versus chemo therapy only, and participation in these trials is essential to define the role of this potentially important approach for patients.

This unit of study is geared toward a heterogeneous eighth grade language arts class. The unit's goal is to show students that the American story chronicled in "My Brother Sam Is Dead" is not simply a story about a series of events that occurred in the past but about taking pride in your heritage and not being afraid to fight back when your liberties are being taken away. The hope is that in reading this novel, students will delve into their own heritage. According to the unit, "My Brother Sam Is Dead" has many themes that adolescents can relate to--for example, the theme of rebellion is prominent, as is identity. While Sam Meeker has embroiled himself in the fight for independence, his younger brother Tim struggles with the conflicting views about the revolution within his own family. Adolescence is a time when many students are beginning to form their own identities, and they can follow along with the Meeker brothers struggling with similar issues. Although it is sometimes difficult for students to relate to a story set in the 18th century, many different lesson ideas and varied approaches have been incorporated into the unit to provide a balanced study of the historical novel. The unit is divided into these parts: I. Lesson Plans 1-5 with handouts; II. Lesson Plans 6-10 with handouts; III. Overall Purpose and Modifications for Inclusion; IV. Assessment and Evaluation of Unit; V. Quizzes and Test; VI. Study Guide and Discussion Questions; VII. Integration with Other Content; and VIII. Bibliography.

A discrete ten-stage system for beam deflection was developed on the basis of the electrooptical effect in lithium niobate. An Iceland spar crystal was used for static deflection. This system made it possible to deflect the beam in two planes between points forming a 32 × 32 matrix. The control voltage was 1 kV.


Abstract In this paper, a new method of solving stochastic optimization problems is presented. Specifically, the stochastic problem statement is reformulated as a deterministic one to which well-known methods (i.e. the calculus of variations and the maximum principle) can be applied. The procedure by which this is achieved involves the conditional probability density function of the process; the density function is expanded in an infinite series and conditions necessary for this series to satisfy the Fokker-Planck equation are obtained. These conditions, which are differential constraints on the coefficients of the series, constitute an infinite set of deterministic state equations. The stochastic processes analysed are linear n-dimensional processes and non-linear one-dimensional processes whose dynamics and control are finite-degree polynomials in the random variables that describe the process; solutions are obtained for some processes described by linear differential equations.

Objective: To summarize the diagnosis and surgical treatment of 39 cases of infrarenal aortic occlusion, which means Leriche syndrome. Methods: A retrospective review of 39 patients with infrarenal aortic occlusion was undertaken, which included 31 males and 8 females. 27 cases were treated by surgery. Results: They mostly had claudication and impotence. Color doppler ultrasonography, especially CTA and MRA, were helpful for diagnosis. Aortic angiography or DSA was necessary for determining the clinical patterns and therapic methods. Clinically, it should be differentiated from other diseases. Ankle-brachial index was also valuable in diagnosis and prognosis. Surgical patterns, general status, and conditions of the affected vessels should be considered. Surgical treatment included 13 aortoiliac vascular bypasses, 6 aortobifemoral bypasses, 5 axillo-bifemoral bypass procedures and 1 renal artery reconstructions. Y type aorta-iliac bypasses got the best result with one-year patency rates of 100% in all cases, and 5-year patency rates of 75%, significantly superior to those axillo-bifemoral bypass grafts with patency only 37.5%. Conclusions: Early diagnosis and comprehensive therapy should be adopted to improve the long-term patency rates after grafts transplantation in Leriche syndrome.

This article studies the dynamic responses of the nonuniform beam structure under the action of the crosswind and its applications on vibration control and utilization (energy harvesting based on the piezoelectric beam). First, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the nonuniform beam are solved by Adomian decomposition method and then the beam vibration deflections and piezoelectric charges are derived. Furthermore, from the theoretical model and solutions, the influences of different taper ratios and outer diameters on the deflections of nonuniform beam structures with the same mass are studied. The deflections of nonuniform same mass beam structures with positive and negative exponential profiles are also compared. It is demonstrated that the deflections of the beam decrease with the increase of taper ratios and increase with the increase of outer diameters. Under the wind velocity ranges of 10 m/s to 26 m/s, the deflection of the nonuniform beam with a negative exponent profile is less than the one with a positive exponent profile. Through this study, the optimal nonuniform beam structure with either small deflection or high piezoelectric charge output can be designed according to different wind velocities and demands.


This article addresses some foundational issues that arise in the study of linear codes defined over finite rings. Linear coding theory is particularly well-behaved over finite Frobenius rings. This follows from the fact that the character module of a finite ring is free if and only if the ring is Frobenius.


Birkenhead is currently going through an exciting time of change along with its sister project the Liverpool Waters. Birkenhead has spent the past decade in the Liverpool's Shadow from across the Mersey. However PEEL Holdings aim to change that with the Wirral Waters. An estimated 27,000 jobs being created during and after the construction phase, the Brownfield site located on the Docks is set to be transformed into a modern city, with skyscrapers, an international trade centre, and number of new leisure and retail facilities
The aims of this research were to question the residents of Birkenhead on their awareness of such a project. This would be followed up by what they would like from the Wirral Waters and what they believe to be the most important aspects of regeneration. Whilst checking to see if PEEL Holdings have organised any public events that the residents of Birkenhead and the surrounding area of the Wirral might want to, or have already previously been too
The Waters has garnered a lot of excitement within Birkenhead, mainly due to the number of jobs they stated will be created. The residents who participated in the questionnaires have indicated that job and affordable accommodation based development is what they are after. Finally it should be worth noting that construction and development of the targeted sites is still yet to fully begin. PEELs Status of running the project was called in question; however it remains as a flagship project for PEEL, whilst representatives from the Wirral Supercouncil and PEEL Holdings continue searching for Chinese investment

Let G be the identity component of the isometry group for an arbitrary curved two-point homogeneous space M. We consider algebras of G-invariant differential operators on bundles of unit spheres over M. The generators of this algebra and the corresponding relations for them are found. The connection of these generators with the two-body problem on two-point homogeneous spaces is discussed.


Objective:Febrile seizures in children with first aid and nursing experience,first aid and care to improve results.Methods:A retrospective analysis of June 2009-June 2011 our department treated 58 cases of febrile seizures in children with clinical data.Results:58 cases of febrile seizures in children through the rapid establishment of intravenous access,quickly just scared,cool time,maintaining airway,oxygen,intensive care and a series of comprehensive treatment and care after all pull through.Conclusion:A timely and expeditious control of seizures,high fever,strengthen comprehensive care is the key to treatment of children with febrile seizures.


Hb G St. Jose – βτ(A4) glutamic acid→glycine – was observed in a Sicilian mother and daughter. The former was clinically and haematologically normal, whereas the daughter manifested severe haemolytic anaemia. A relationship between this and Hb G was excluded on chemical and physical grounds.


The cognitive radio network (CRN) is an emerging technology where communication among secondary users (SUs) takes place in an opportunistic manner. Since, a backbone eases the routing, reduces communication overhead, and efficiently handles the dynamic changes in the network. Therefore, we intend to propose a backbone formation algorithm in CRN. However, finding optimal backbone is equivalent to find minimum connected dominating set (CDS) for the given network, which is NP‐complete. Hence, the backbone construction problem can be better handled by optimization algorithms than the deterministic ones. The bio‐inspired is an interesting category of optimization algorithms. Therefore, it has been popularly used to handle various optimization problems in wireless networks. However, it has never been used for backbone construction in CRN. The ant colony optimization (ACO) is a promising bio‐inspired method because it has been effectively used to handle many problems in wireless networks, e.g. cluster head selection, leader election, routing etc. Therefore, we use ant colony system (ACS) for backbone formation in CRN. Also, the approach helps us to find optimized path between any pair of nodes to ensure efficient communication. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first bio‐inspired backbone construction algorithm in CRN.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired bleeding disorder mediated by pathogenic autoantibodies secreted by plasma cells (PCs) in many patients. In refractory ITP patients, the persistence of splenic and bone marrow autoreactive long‐lived PCs (LLPCs) may explain primary failure of rituximab and splenectomy respectively. The reactivation of autoreactive memory B cells generating new autoreactive PCs contributes to relapses after initial response to rituximab. Emerging strategies targeting B cells and PCs aim to prevent the settlement of splenic LLPCs with the combination of anti‐BAFF and rituximab, to deplete autoreactive PCs with anti‐CD38 antibodies, and to induce deeper B‐cell depletion in tissues with novel anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibodies and anti‐CD19 therapies. Alternative strategies, focused on controlling autoantibody mediated effects, have also been developed, including SYK and BTK inhibitors, complement inhibitors, FcRn blockers and inhibitors of platelet desialylation.


Medical residents at the University of Toronto appear to have won their ongoing battle over tuition fees. The Professional Association of Internes and Residents of Ontario reports that the university will not charge the fee during the 2000/01 academic year. In an update for residents, PAIRO reported
