The interaction relations between service and manufacturing industries are important to promote service industry growth and to enhance competitiveness of manufacturing industry. This paper analyzes the interaction relations between service and manufacturing industries by using the OECD2014 version of input-output published database,and undertakes international comparison with main developed countries( the US.,Japan,the UK.,Germany) and other BRICS( India,Russia,Brazil). The study results are as follows:( 1) the development of Chinese service industry,especially consumptive service industry,lags behind western developed countries in the world,while manufacturing industry accounts for a high proportion.( 2) The direct interaction relations between service industry and manufacturing industry in china is at lower level. The intermediate demand of manufacturing industry from the service industry accounts for a low proportion in China. The intermediate input of manufacturing industry is high,while the intermediate input of service industry is low.( 3) The interaction relations between service industry and manufacturing industry in China is at low level not only because it is depended by economic development stage,but also elements supply is insufficient and there is institutional restriction. In order to upgrade and transform industrial structure and sustainably develop,service market control should be loosed,market access of service industry should be lowered and competitiveness of manufacturing industry should be promoted.


Until specific diagnostic tests become available, the study of the syndrome variously called "juvenile rheumatoid arthritis," "rheumatoid disease," or "Still's disease" will depend upon clinical reports. The authors of this book, all internists or radiologists, have described in general terms their experience with this syndrome. They have recognized that their patients have been selected and may not represent the general population of patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Since so much of the interpretation of any clinical syndrome depends upon description, it seems unfortunate that details of the case material were omitted. No details concerning the age groups of the patients involved, the description of the spontaneous remissions and their duration, incidence of complications, or other specific information desired by the clinician are available either in charts or tables. The discussion of the pathologic and biochemical alterations in this syndrome is clear. Recent studies, involving new techniques with the rheumatoid factor,


Abstract The stages of the sporoderm morphogenesis of Psilotum triquetrum are studied by TEM from the newly formed tetraspore stage to the release of the spores. First the tetraspores are overlaid with the "foliated substructure of the exospore", which consists of some long, thin, anastomosed sheets, and shows a protruding narrow fold at the region of the future aperture; thereafter, sporopollenin without a definite structure gradually accumulates on the substructure thus forming the middle and outer parts of the exospore. Finally, a thin perispore develops close to the surface of the exospore. Either simultaneously or with variable delay, a "pseudo-endospore" fairly thick at the apertural region but very thin elsewhere, appears between the exospore and the spore cell. The endospore itself has not developed when the spore release occurs. This ontogenetical process of Psilotum is very similar to that of Filices, whereas it obviously differs from that of other Pteridophytes Les etapes de la morphogenese du ...


In tissue engineering, three-dimensional functional scaffolds with tailored biological properties are needed to be able to mimic the hierarchical structure of biological tissues. Recent developments in additive biomanufacturing allow to extrude multiple materials enabling the fabrication of more sophisticated tissue constructs. These multi-material biomanufacturing systems comprise multiple printing heads through which individual materials are sequentially printed. Nevertheless, as more printing heads are added the fabrication process significantly decreases, since it requires mechanical switching among the physically separated printheads to enable printing multiple materials. In addition, this approach is not able to create biomimetic tissue constructs with property gradients. To address these limitations, this paper presents a novel static mixing extrusion printing head to enable the fabrication of multi-material, functionally graded structures using a single nozzle. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to numerically analyze the influence of Reynolds number on the flow pattern of biomaterials and mixing efficiency considering different miscible materials.

Apospory is the direct vegetative process which leads from the sporophyte to the gametophyte without the intervention of spores. This phenomenon has for a long time been known to occur in mosses and ferns, and several writers have described its morphological characters, but its cytological history has hitherto remained unrecorded. In a previous note the cellular features of apogamy were briefly described, and it is here proposed to treat the problem of apospory in a similar manner. The following remarks are limited to the study of apospory in Nephrodium pseudo-mas Rich. var. cristata apospora , Druery, but it is of interest to note that within the limits of a (probably) single, but highly variable species, almost all grades of apospory and apogamy, with the exception of true parthenogenesis, have been encountered. Our thanks are especially due to Mr. C. T. Druery, who has kindly supplied us with the original fronds, and to the Curator of the Chelsea Physic Garden, who has most carefully cultivated the plants with excellent results. The aposporal character of Nephrodium pseudo-mas var. cristata apospora appears to have been first noted by Dr. F. W. Stansfield. It occurred as a sport in a very damp fernery. Our fronds were pegged down in pans of moist earth, and the cultures have been grown in a greenhouse kept at an average temperature of 55o to 60o Fahr. in the winter and of 65o to 70o Fahr. in the summer. It was found that no aposporous growths appear until the fronds have been pegged down, and in each case the fronds were severed from the plant, as this was found to greatly encourage the production of the growths. The aposporous growth is rapid and prolific; fronds treated during the spring and summer showe prothalli, bearing embryos, in three weeks' time. By the autumn these young plants were sufficiently matured to have their leaves layered, and these shortly exhibited the same characteristic feature. It is immaterial as to which surface of the frond is in contact with the soil. So far as has been ascertained this fern remains very constant in character, and continues to breed true. In the plants grown at Chelsea, no trace of a sporangium or sorus has appeared on any of the leaves.


Patient compliance with an inhaled corticosteroid may be greater if it is combined with a beta-agonist. This study compared compliance with an inhaled corticosteroid (budesonide), and a short-acting inhaled beta-agonist (terbutaline sul- phate), and a Turbuhaler inhaler containing a combination of the two drugs. In an open, multicentre, parallel group study 102 asthmatic patients were ran- domly divided into two groups, either receiving the two drugs in separate Turbu- halers or combined into one Turbuhaler. A twice daily regimen was prescribed and a preweighed metered-dose inhaler (MDI) of salbutamol was provided for res- cue use. Compliance was measured using the Turbuhaler Inhalation Computer (TIC), which recorded the time and date of each inhalation over a 12 week period. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ) and forced vital capacity (FVC) measurements were carried out at week 0, 6 and 12. Results from 72 patients were analysed. The average compliance was 60-70%. Treatment was taken as prescribed on 30-40% of the study days, and over-usage occurred on less than 10% of days. Only 15% of patients took the drugs as pre- scribed for more than 80% of the days. Compliance was no greater in patients using the combined inhalers. Other ways of improving patient self-management need further investigation.


SUMMARY Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex condition, with long-term physical, cognitive and behavioral disabilities, and lifestyle consequences. Individuals with MS require regular evaluation for persisting disability and psychological sequelae. This should incorporate patients' perspectives on functioning and health. This review summarizes and compares the content of commonly used multidimensional, patient-reported outcome measures in MS in relation to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health comprehensive MS Core set. The focused domains of these measures, the commonalities and discrepancies, and breadth and depth of coverage in relation to the MS Core set are discussed. Understanding of the content of these instruments is needed for clinicians/researchers to make an informed choice for the selection of the most appropriate instrument to capture the variability inherent in MS for treatment efficacy.


The aim of this document is to study the effect of radiation damage on the silicon sensors. The reflection of the effect of radiation can be observed in two fundamental parameters of the detector: the bias current and the bias voltage. The leakage current directly affects the noise, while the bias voltage is required to collect the maximum signal deposited by the charged particle.

A simple and highly sensitive fiber in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI)temperature sensor is demonstrated,its responses to surrounding refractive index and temperature are analyzed theoretically and experimentally,and especially the different mechanisms of the fiber MZI before and after sealing are compared for temperature sensing.The interferometer is realized by splicing three telecom single-mode fibers with large"overlap"splicing parameters to form two waist-enlarged fusion bitapers.Experimental results show that the MZI is sensitive to surrounding refractive index(RI).Then the MZI is sealed in a capillary tube filled with Cargille oil.Due to the thermo-optic effect of sealing-liquid and the intrinsic high RI sensitivity of the interferometer,the sensor produces a very high temperature sensitivity of 150pm/℃ within the range of 10-40℃.The sensitivity is double times of that of the bare MZI in air and it is much higher than that of some fiber grating-based sensors or fiber in-line interferometric sensors.Moreover,the proposed sensor has advantages of low cost,easy-to-fabrication and good physical strength,which makes it promising in environmental monitoring,food industry,and other fields for temperature sensing.


Colombeau's generalized functions are used to adapt the distributional approach to singular hypersurfaces in general relativity with signature change. Equations governing the dynamics of singular hypersurface is obtained and it is shown that matching leads to de Sitter space for the Lorentzian region. The matching is possible for different sections of the de Sitter hyperboloid. A relation between the radius of $S^4$, as the Euclidean manifold, and the cosmological constant leading to inflation after signature change is obtained.


A study on assessing the nutrient status of soils of Dryland Agricultural Research Station at Chettinad in Sivaganga District of Tamil Nadu was carried out to understand the relationship with various physico-chemical properties in surface and sub surface soil samples. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-15cm and 15-30cm and analyzed for available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, DTPA extractable iron, copper, zinc, manganese and hot water soluble boron. The available N, P, K, S, DTPA extractable Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe ranged from 123.0-209, 14.0-28.0, 126.0-319.0 kg ha-1, 9.13-18.85, 0.10-3.52, 0.85-3.63, 24.02-49.21 and 8.9-22.38 mg kg-1 in surface soils, respectively. Generally the soils were low in N, low to medium in available P and medium to high in available K and S in the surface soils. The surface soils were deficient in DTPA extractable Zn and hot water soluble boron, and adequate in available Cu, Fe, Mn. Hot water soluble (HWS) boron status ranged from 0.36-0.44mg kg-1 in surface soils. The subsurface soils (15-30 cm) are low in available N, low in available P, low to medium in available K and S. The pH had significant positive correlation with EC, organic carbon and sulphur (r = 0.239*, 0.293* and 0.241*, respectively) and negatively correlated with CaCO3 (r =- 0.302**). Though the pH had positive correlation with CEC, available P, Zn and Mn but not significant and showed negative correlation with available N, K, Fe and B. Other physiochemical properties of soil showed either negative or positive non-significant correlation with available nutrient status.


The invention belongs to the field of high molecular material plate processing technology, and particularly relates to a process for preparing CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) plates. The material uses the above formula; the amount and type of a processing aid are regulated for many times; a stabilizing agent special for CPVC is selected, and cooperates with an auxiliary stabilizer; during the process of mixing materials, the mixing sequence and time are regulated, so that materials can be mixed thoroughly and to be suitable for processing by equipment; and parameters are adjusted so that temperature and rotation speed meet the plate molding requirement after regulation for many times. The product performances of the obtained CPVC plates are that Vicat softening temperature is larger than or equal to 110 DEG C and the tensile yield strength is larger than or equal to 52 MPa. The process for preparing CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) plates provided by the invention has the beneficial effect that the CPVC plates prepared by the process has high Vicat softening temperature, strong weathering resistance, good corrosion resistance, i.e. resistance to strong acid, strong base and salt water, and relatively high mechanical strength and toughness.

This paper focuses on the H-infinity filtering for a class of discrete-time singular systems with Markovian jump parameters, whose system mode is transmitted through an unreliable network. The considered systems are more general than two special cases of singular Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent or mode-independent, a new partially mode dependent filter is established via using a mode-dependent Lyapunov function. The corresponding filter parameters can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities without decomposing the original system matrix. The designed linear robust filter ensuring that the filtering error system is to be regular, causal, stochastically stable and satisfies H-infinity performance. In addition, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The problem of reliable controllers design was considered for a class of uncertain interconnected large-scale nonlinear systems with constant time delays, parameter uncertainties and nonlinear disturbances. The nonlinearities were assumed to satisfy the boundedness conditions. Different from common discrete model, a more practical model of actuator failures was considered for the continuous gain model. The purpose of the paper was to design linear memoryless state feedback decentralized controllers to stabilize the systems. By solving the LMI, we get the controllers which make the systems be asymptotically stable when actuators experience failures. At last a simulation example is presented to show that the state feedback controllers are effective


The linkage group of genes controlling alkaline-phosphatase (AP) and tyrosine-decarboxylase (TDC) activities in Drosophila virilis adults was determined. D. virilis strain 160, with all autosomes marked with recessive morphological mutations, was used for the analysis. AP and TDC activities were significantly higher in strain 160 than in strain 147. The analysis of F2 hybrids, which carried one chromosome (one or both homologues) of strain 147 and the rest of strain 160, allowed the assignment of the genes controlling AP and TDC activities in D. virilis adults to chromosome 6.


(Received 10 May 2010 ; in final form 13 February 2011) Abstract In this paper with use of Particle in Cell (PIC) simulation method in one dimension the dynamic of ion acoustic soliton is studied. in this method the ions are monitored as particles and the electrons are assumed to be in thermal equilibrium. The dispersion relation of ion acoustic waves is investigated. The results are in good agreement with analytical results showing that in linear regime our code works correctly. Considering the solution of nonlinear KdV equation as initial perturbation, the propagation of ion acoustic soliton is studied. It is shown that the shape and the velocity of ion acoustic soliton is preserved during propagation through the plasma.


Background: The identification of alternative technologies - which is one step of the formal decision-making process -- results in a judgment on whether a technology is considered as a candidate for the further decision-making process. A model has been proposed that aims at improving the delivery of relevant information from ESE research to software managers.
 Objectives: Evaluate the effectiveness of the model of software managers information needs
 Method: Experiment with software managers from industry who read two versions of a report on a controlled experiment, one of which contained the information as required by the information needs model.
 Results: Participants reading the version of the report based on the model perceived that they could judge better whether the technology is appropriate than those reading the original version of the paper.
 Conclusion: The information needs model provides a means for supporting the identification of alternative solutions and thus has the potential to solve the problem of making decisions.


mutant of Escherichia co2i unable to incorporate external C14-deoxythymidine A (TdR) into its DN,4 has been isolated recently and was found to lack the activity of deoxythymidine kinase that catalyzes the conversion of TdR to deoxythymidine 5'-monophos]shate (dTMP) (HIRAGA, IGARASHI and YURA 1967). The mutant grows normally in the medium without TdR, since the organism can synthesize dTMP and thus deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate (dTTP) endogenously. When the endogenous synthesis of dTMP is inhibited by fluorouracil (FU) or fluorodeoxyuridine ( FUdR) , the growth of wild-type E. coli becomes dependent on externally supplied TdR as well as uridine. Since the mutant lacking TdR kinase activity cannot utilize external TdR, such a mutant would be expected to be incapable of growth in the medium containing FU or FUdR even in the presence of TdR and uridine. In agreement with this expectation, the mutant failed to grow on this medium, in contrast to the wild-type strain. The biochemical basis of this finding has been discussed elsewhere (HIGARA, IGARASHI and YURA 1967). At any event, this character is important in the genetic analysis of the mutant presented below, because it provides a convenient means not only of identifying the tdk mutant allele from the wild-type tdk+ allele among recombinant clones but also of selecting tdk+ clones in a population of tdk mutant bacteria. In this paper, it will be shown that the mutant characteristics described above are caused by mutation of a single gene (designated as t d k ) located near the cluster of the tryptoph,an structural genes on the E. coli chromosome. The tdk+ gene has also been found to be transduced by phage $80, and some of the characteristics of the transduction system will be reported. An abstract of a part of this work has appeared elsewhere (IGARASHI, HIRAGA and YURA 1966).

Abstract The shift ΔB ov of the ESR line due to saturation of the NMR of the hyperfine coupled nuclei (Overhauser shift) was measured for single crystals of the organic conductor (FA)2PF6. ΔBov , is proportional to [Abar] tt , being the average hyperfine interaction between the conduction electrons and the protons in resonance, and the dynamic nuclear spin polarization (DNP), respectively. The DNP enhancement factor V was determined for the two orientations of the static magnetic field B o , perpendicular (V ∥ = 525 ± 40) and parallel (V ∥ = 280 ± 25) to the needle axis a, respectively. The absolute value of the average hyperfine coupling is [Abar]zz = –(1.16 ± 0.05) Gauss · ge μ B . Both, the temperature dependence and the anisotropy of the proton spin relaxation times T 1 p and T 1 p were measured from the time dependence of the Overhauser shift, ΔBov (t) after rf-pulses or after switching "on" and "off" the ESR saturation. Within the metallic phase of the crystal the proton relaxation is governed by a ...


Nickel-modified polypropylene fibers were dyed with 2-(6-ethoxy-2-benzthiazolyl-azo) p-cresol (I) in the presence of dispersing agent and the absorption isotherms were determined at 80° and 90•Ž. The resulting isotherms consisted of two parts, that is, a curved and a linear part. The linear part showed clearly the saturation. The following investigations were carried out to examine the states of the dye (I) in the fiber.


Data science, and the related field of analytics, is an emerging discipline that integrates concepts across a range of domains, including computer science, information systems, software engineering and statistics. While the number of data science / analytics programs continues to increase, there has been little discussion on how we should define this emerging educational field. This panel will foster a debate with respect to what are the key learning objectives within these programs and should there be different types of data science related programs (such as an applied data science program or a business analytics program in addition to data science programs). Via a debate, this panel, along with the audience, will explore the field of data science and these emerging questions regarding data science and analytics education.


Aims: The way species-richness is accommodated and how species-abundance distribution is organized in a hierarchic pattern is central to community ecology. Yet, the process by which species-richness and species-abundances are progressively accommodated can hardly be monitored, in practice, at a sufficiently large spatial scale. Fortunately, the progressive recovery of marine communities, after their complete destruction by atmospheric nuclear tests, yet offered unique opportunity to monitor the full process of accommodation of increasing species-richness and the associated, transient development of strong interspecific competition, all along the process of recovery. Methods: Taking full advantage of such monitoring yet requires, first, to relevantly overcome two important practical issues: 1) achieving reliable numerical extrapolations of the usually unavoidably incomplete samplings in order to accurately estimate both the true species-richness and the completed distribution of species-abundances, including the abundance of undetected species and 2) disentangling (i) the positive contribution of improved niche-diversification to species-richness and species-abundance evenness from (ii) the negative contribution of increasing interspecificcompetition, all along the recovery progress. This, indeed, is a rather tricky challenge, yet relevantly solved by using the newly developed "standardized unevenness index", conceptually based upon MacArthur approach to interspecific-contest at niche overlaps. Original Research Article Béguinot; ARRB, 36(1): 77-110, 2021; Article no.ARRB.66275 78 Results: Applying both tools above to the monitored recovery of a reef-associated Gastropod community, entirely wiped-out previously by severe nuclear blasts, had allowed a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between species-recruitment, niche-diversification and interspecific-competition in the regeneration of the community. In particular, along the recovery process, a transient, metastable phase – involving severe interspecific-competition at niche-overlaps – precedes a gradual return to dynamic stability, with the virtual extinction of interspecific competition


Salinity is one of the abiotic stresses that most limit crop productivity. This makes it essential to search for alternatives that would ensure the viability of production under such conditions. The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of silicon for reducing the detrimental effects of salt stress on seed germination and initial seedling growth in five lettuce cultivars. Two experiments were carried out in a completely randomised design with four replications. In the first experiment, germination behaviour of five lettuce cultivars (Year Round Cabbage, Americana Great Lakes, Great Lakes 659, Lucy Brown, and Crisp Cabbage) was evaluated under five levels of salt stress (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM). In the second, two lettuce cultivars, one sensitive and one tolerant to salinity, submitted to six different combinations of NaCl and Na2SiO3. The germination (G), first germination count, germination speed index, mean germination time, and root and shoot length and dry weight were evaluated. A reduction in G was seen from 100 mM for all cultivars, with 'Lucy Brown' being the most tolerant, even under higher levels of NaCl. The 'Americana Great Lakes' and 'Great Lakes 659' were the most sensitive to salinity. When silicon was added to the NaCl treatments, it was found that the effects of the salt stress were reduced, resulting in higher values for germination and the growth variables. Silicon reduced the detrimental effects of salt stress on the physiological quality of the seeds and the initial growth phase of the lettuce.


Theapplication of photogrammetry to the measurement of skin friction using oil-film interferometry isdiscussed. Oil-film interferometry and photogrammetry are first described to justify the need for photogrammetry, and then the method is applied to two flows. The results indicate that when model curvature is high or the camera-to-model distanceisshort,largeuncertainties(oftheorderof10%)inskinfrictioncanbeintroducedifphotogrammetryisnot applied. For most applications demanding high-accuracy skin-friction measurements, approaches such as those described in this article should be considered. HEmeasurementofwallshearstressinaerodynamictestinghas increased significantly in the last decade. The increased use is primarily a result of the growth of image-based oil-film interferometry, which provides measurements of the mean wall shear stress that can be obtained relatively quickly and with good accuracy. The technique has been applied to simple laboratory flows as well as in large wind tunnels. Accompanying the increased use of oil-film interferometry has been a demand for higher accuracy and less time-intensive analysis. One way that these two issues can be addressedisthroughtheuseofphotogrammetry.Althoughthisisthe case, photogrammetry has only been applied to oil-film interferometry in a few cases (e.g., Zilliac [1]), and an in-depth discussion of its importance has not been presented. The use of photogrammetry to facilitate oil-film interferometry measurement of skin friction is the focus of this paper. The theory behind photogrammetry is presented, and specific issues related to oil-film interferometry are discussed. Specific examples of oil-film interferometry measurements that include photogrammetry are then provided. From these example cases, it is clear that photogrammetry reduces and quantifies geometric/imaging bias errors, and it substantially simplifies the handling of geometry in the analysis process. With uncertainty analyses of oil-film interferometry indicatingaccuraciesof2–3%whenperformedwithcare[2,3],these geometric/imaging bias errors become increasingly important if that level of accuracy is to be maintained in complex geometries. Althoughaparticularanalysismethodfordeterminingthewallshear stress from the fringe patterns obtained using oil-film interferometry isusedheretodemonstratetheapplicationofphotogrammetry,itwas simply chosen for convenience. The photogrammetry method discussed here can be used by other oil-film interferogram-analysis approaches to improve the geometry handling.

Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is long established as a powerful tool for probing the local manifestation of magnetic nanostructures across a range of temperatures and applied stimuli. A major drawback of the technique, however, is that the detection of stray fields emanating from a samples surface rely on a uniaxial vertical cantilever oscillation, and thus are only sensitive to vertically oriented stray field components. The last two decades have shown an ever-increasing literature fascination for exotic topological windings where particular attention to in-plane magnetic moment rotation is highly valuable when identifying and understanding such systems. Here we present a new method of detecting in-plane magnetic stray field components, by utilizing a home made split-electrode excitation piezo that allows the simultaneous excitation of a cantilever at its fundamental flexural and torsional modes. This allows for the joint acquisition of traditional vertical mode (V-MFM) images and a lateral MFM (L-MFM) where the tip-cantilever system is only sensitive to stray fields acting perpendicular to the torsional axis of the cantilever.


The filtration performance of four kinds of coarse polyester filters commonly
 used in the market was studied experimentally. The results showed that these
 filter materials had better filtration efficiency for particles larger than
 5 ?m. There was a significant difference among the same grade filters on
 filtration efficiency and resistance. The maximum counting efficiency of all
 four Samples can be achieved when the filtration velocity was 1.1 m/s. Fiber
 diameter was one of the main influencing factors that affect the efficiency
 and resistance of polyester filters. The comprehensive effect was
 relatively good when the Sample fiber diameter was small.


This paper provides a brief analysis of some of the results from a major research project on the use and re-use of vacant industrial premises (vips) that was funded by EPSRC under the Sustainable Cities Managed Programme (Ball, 1996). The research approach centres on the condition of 'vacancy'. This is used as a starting point for an assessment of the problems and the potentials of such buildings, and for an investigation of the processes and participants in re-use and refurbishment. In this regard, the research programme involved three Phases, including direct survey work on the character and extent of vacant floorspace and its changing profile over time, on refurbishment and re-use processes, and on the involvement of developers and related organisations in the re-use process. From the resultant mass of original research data that has been derived, the paper selects some aspects for discussion, drawing out and reflecting on some of the research implications. The paper commences with a short contextual comment. It then reports and reflects on some of the basic findings, focusing in particular on the links between vacant industrial buildings and the notion of sustainable urban regeneration.


ABSTRACT When trying to understand childhood obesity, policymakers and healthcare professionals most often make use of behavioural sciences and biomedical perspectives. This approach assumes that fatness is unhealthy and caused by people making 'bad choices' about their diet and physical activity. Increasingly not only parents, but also children, are considered to be individually responsible for their weight, their health, and through that, for the 'obesity epidemic'. Drawing on critical obesity/weight studies and practice theory, this paper challenges the individualistic and weight-based view of health, and the heuristic of 'individual food choice', and through that such a framing of childhood obesity. It does so by focusing on the experiences of young people medically identified as overweight, who are trying to lose weight. Looking at two domains of children's lives, their family and peers, the paper demonstrates how young people experience and negotiate the individualized health advice, and what sort of consequences this has for their daily lives, and their mental and physical wellbeing. The article is based on observations of interactions between families and healthcare professionals, conversations with children and parents, as well as participant observation at youth summer weight loss camps, which were part of a larger ethnographic research project conducted in 2018–2019 in Poland. The paper concludes by proposing to reframe how we think about childhood obesity, and consider young people's knowledge and lived experiences when re-designing policy interventions and wellbeing promotion programmes, that is, to work with, and not on, children.


We chose Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus juvenile from Shanghai,Shandong and Hebei strains,which were chronically acclimated,as experimental groups,and studied their survival rate and average growth rate in net cage under different salinity waters(0,15,20),NaHCO3 alkalinity waters(1 g · L-1,2 g · L-1,3 g · L-1),and salinity-alkalinity waters(15,1 g · L-1;15,2 g ·L-1;15,3 g · L-1;20,1 g · L-1;20,2 g · L-1;20,3 g · L-1).The 62 days experiments show that there is no significant difference in the survival rate among three strains under different salinities,alkalinities and salinity-alkalinity waters(P0.05),while there is significant difference in average growth rate(P0.05).The average growth rate of three strains roughly tend to decline with increasing salinity and alkalinity,while the growth rate of salinity-alkalinity group increases slower than those of treated with salinity and alkalinity.Besides,Shanghai,Shandong and Hebei strains show some relative growth advantages in different salinity and alkalinity gradients,respectively.The study provides some basic data for determination of optimum growth salinity-alkalinity and for selection of Nile tilapia strain.

On the eve of World War I, the Ottoman Empire experienced a preliminary crisis through Italo-Turkish War (1911-12) and the Balkan War (1912-13) (hereafter to be abbreviated as the Wars). The crisis caught the serious interest of Muslims in India, who almost immediately responded to it by expressing their sympathy for the Ottoman Empire in various forms. Numerous meetings were held to protest against the intruders from Italy and the Balkan States. Vast amounts of subscription were collected and remitted there. Even medical missions were dispatched to the remote battlefields. The relief movement in this period would turn out to be the prelude to the Khilafat Movement (1919-24), an antiBritish protest under the slogan of protecting the Caliphate, the office or the rule of Caliph, which was recognized in the Sultan of


A methodological approach has been developed that allows to assess the performance and functional possibilities of systems, assemblies and mechanisms of the agricultural tractor taking part in the formation and implementation of its power potential and, if necessary, to determine requirements for modules with similar purposes by which they could be replaced in order to improve efficiency in the operation of а tractor model and machine-tractor combinations formed on its basis.

An example of practical application of the methodological approach for improving the utilization of power potential of an agricultural tractor by optimizing its ballast is presented in the article, too.


The transfer of prestress force in pretensioned prestressed concrete (PSC) members is of great concern because it affects directly the distribution of stress around the transfer zone. The design provision of current design code on the transfer length considers only the prestress intensity and the diameter of prestressing steels. However, other factors such as concrete compressive strength and concrete cover may affect greatly the transfer length. The purpose of the present paper is to explore the various factors that affect the transfer length in pretensioned PSC members. The bond stress-slip relation between prestressing steel and concrete was modeled first from experimental data and then this model was incorporated into the interface element. The interface element was used to perform the finite element analysis for pretensioned PSC members. The results indicate that the compressive strength and concrete cover are also very important parameters which affect the transfer length greatly. This means that the current design code, which considers only the effective prestress and diameter of prestressing steel, must be improved to take into account the other important variables of compressive strength and concrete cover. The present study allows more realistic analysis and design of pretensioned PSC members.


Development of low cost solar cells fabrication technology is being sponsored by NASA JPL as part of the Low Cost Solar Array Project (LSA). In conformance to Project requirements ion implantation and laser annealing were evaluated as junction formation techniques offering low cost-high throughput potential. Properties of cells fabricated utilizing this technology were analyzed by electrical, transmission electron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering and secondary ion mass spectrometry techniques. Tests indicated the laser annealed substrates to be damage free and electrically active. Similar analysis of ion implanted furnace annealed substrates revealed the presence of residual defects in the form of dislocation lines and loops with substantial impurity redistribution evident for some anneal temperature/time regimes. Fabricated laser annealed cells exhibited improved spectral response and conversion efficiency in comparison to furnace annealed cells. An economic projection for LSA indicates a potential for considerable savings from laser annealing technology.


The research on cationoid halotropic rearrangements is generalized and systematized in the article. Basic features of halogen migrations in the series of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, the mechanisms of these transformations, and general aspects of application of «halogen dance» reactions in the synthesis of biologically active substances and natural compounds are analyzed.


Abstract This research identified, through the use of pairwise similarity judgements and a repertory grid methodology, the dimensions of meaning individuals use in discriminating among natural settings, and the relationship of these dimensions to aesthetic response. Randomly selected photographic stimuli were presented to 52 subjects in an experimental setting, using a micro-computer to control presentation of stimuli and tasks. Five dimensions of meaning were identified, with subjects differentially weighting these dimensions in terms of their salience to aesthetic response. It is argued that although the collative properties of experimentally derived stimuli are important in modifying arousal levels (Berlyne, 1971), when investigating "environments" and not "stimuli", the perceived meaning or ecological properties (Berlyne, 1971) are additional and important determinants of aesthetic response.


Cloud Computing is an latest up growing technology which provide various services to internet, it enables to store the data in to a cloud storage and the on demand scalable services. The users should use the cloud storage data as it is local without verifying its integrity and correctness of data. The public auditing for cloud storage is important, so that to check the integrity of outsourced data in the cloud, the users will take the action to check the integrity of data in a Intermediate Cloud Accessor (TPA) . To securely introduced an effective Intermediate Cloud Accessor (TPA), the auditing processor should bring an new concerns for user data privacy, for that the watermarking for data storage security in cloud computing is proposed. It supports data dynamics where users can perform various operations on data like insert, update and delete as well as batch auditing where multiple user request for storage correctness will be handled simultaneously which reduces the communication and computing cost. Index Terms: Privacy preserving, public auditing, watermarking, Intermediate Cloud Accessor (TPA), Security.

Breast cancer is one of the leading cancers in woman worldwide both in developed and developing nations as per the records from World Health Organization (WHO). American Society identified that by the end of 2012, about 2,26,000 cases were diagnosed and 40,000 resulted in death. Physician uses mammography as one method for breast cancer detection and interpretation. Mass segmentation plays an important step for the cancer detection. Notable researches were done and still moving towards the effective detection of masses in mammograms. In most of the segmentation techniques, the region of interest is chosen manually. To overcome this, a fully automatic mass segmentation scheme is proposed. The proposed method includes automatic seed selection by extracting the statistical features and the region growing technique is employed. The difference in the mean of the manual markup by an expert and the proposed segmentation obtained is 0.356. Keywords— Mammography, Mass, Region Growing, Segmentation.

The paper deals with a new import-substituting antiscalant to protect reverse osmosis membranes of water desalination systems in Uzbekistan. The studies show that during the purification of natural brackish waters typical for Uzbekistan, the reverse osmosis membrane is contaminated by mineral salts and colloidal particles, which leads to the reduction of the membrane capacity and service life of expensive reverse osmosis water treatment systems. The developed import-substituting antiscalant has proved to prevent the sedimentation process on membranes, and to have technical specifications almost identical to its more expensive foreign analogues. Since 2020 water desalination systems using the new antiscalant have been widely used in Uzbekistan to provide the population of the Republic with high-quality drinking water.

A descriptive and observational study on the teaching staff 's activities, mainly as tutors in biomedical contents teaching was carried out at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Tamale (Ghana), from 2008 to 2011, taking into account the learning based on the solution to problems. Among the main identified difficulties, which never overcame the advantages, there were: to motivate more the participation of the students in the class, to listen the concerns of the students, as well as to ask and to investigate about the process of reasoning of the students, whose percentages fluctuated from 43.3 to 40.0, in that order; however, the interest for the implementation of this method is increasing in the new medical universities of the world with development needs.


Where should the criteria for judging the quality of poems be found—in the course of poem-creation or from external factors? In the circumstance of exhilaration,any proposed criterion is apt to decline because of misunderstanding.Generally speaking,"criteria" mean constraint and any discussion on "criteria" tends to exhibit that literary critics are in vigorous pursuit of something.While criteria should be related to common senses,the attainment of mutual understanding is out of the question since aesthetics and appreciation vary from person to person.As thus,what should be aspired for at present is to establish a passage between the probable criteria and language for picturing the would-be standard criteria.The so-called "criterion" is,first of all,a standard ripple of consciousness and secondly,a standard pattern freely worded.


In order to break the dilemma of ideological and political education,changing the traditional teaching approach is believed to be one of the most important ways.Combining video and words,the video case teaching approach embodies the application of the most advanced technology in college teaching and has overcome the limitation of traditional teaching,thus bringing a breakthrough of the teaching in Moral Education and Fundamental Law.Based on achieved successful teaching practice,video case teaching displays certain realistic significance and immense prosperity in spreading its application in college ideological political courses and other liberal arts teaching.


GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) concrete (with 30%, 50% and 70% cement replacement) and an ordinary Portland cement (OPC) control concrete, all designed for equal workability and 28 day water-cured strength, were found to have a wide range of strength and permeability when cured under one of four regimes in a simulated arid climate. The effect of curing method and cement replacement level on compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, water absorption and permeability are reported. The tests show that a GGBS concrete can have a superior performance to an equivalent all OPC concrete in a hot climate, provided that proper curing is provided. However, without proper curing, the GGBS concrete suffered more than the OPC, resulting in a highly permeable concrete whose strength reduces with increasing replacement level. Of the replacement levels studied the 50% mix produced the best performance. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 853062.


The Grassy Hollow Trail Guide was designed for use at the Grassy Hollow Visitor Center, located six miles west of Wrightwood, California, in the San Gabriel Mountains in the Angeles National Forest. The guide is intended to■ enable volunteers of the United States Forest Service and primary teachers from the Snowline Unified School District to utilize the educational opportunities available at this location with kindergarten through second grade students. A map and instructions in the guide provide activities for students which promote environmental sensitivity using constructivism and place-based education at 12 stops on a nature hike which follows a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail. Activities are related to the California Content Standards in Science. Students learn how the environment affects their lives and how human activities can affect the natural world. Journal pages for student use provide opportunities to collect data, record information and take notes. Brief descriptions and photographs of local animals, birds and plants are also included.


This study examines a sample of secondary school department leader position descriptions in the United States to compare understanding of the change and continuity in the role of the secondary school department chair as a curriculum leader and manager of learning. Position descriptions include general descriptions for all content areas as well as a specific position description for K-12 computer science, art, and social studies. These are compared for their thematic similarities and differences with implications for how the role of secondary school department leader has been officially envisioned and what these data suggest in comparison to the literature. As such, this study addresses a gap in the literature on department leader roles in reference to their official job descriptions. Implications for teacher leadership are discussed for instructional leadership and the department chair's role in learning measurement.


Multidisciplinary treatment of brain tumors has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic In the context of a decrease in the number of neurosurgical interventions by over 50% in most centers from the countries affected by the pandemic, the setting of treatment priorities becomes essential Due to the poor prognosis and biological particularities related to rapid progression, grade IV malignant gliomas are a priority in treatment The severe limitations of hospitalization possibilities in intensive care units and the reduction of the possibilities of administration of adjuvant treatment leads to the necessity to take into account the possibilities for timely administration of adjuvant treatment in the decision for the neurosurgical treatment in new glioblastoma multiforme cases Multidisciplinary team evaluation of each case is mandatory in order to make a rational decision Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and methylation status of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyl-transferase (MGMT) should be assessed as far as possible IDH wild-type status should be a decisive factor in prioritizing the treatment For young patients with a favorable performance status, the standard treatment includes long-course radiotherapy with concurrent temozolomide treatment, followed by 6-cycle adjuvant treatment with temozolomide, even in a COVID-19 pandemic scenario The optimal therapeutic choice in the case of elderly and/or frail patients includes a moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy regimen of 40 Gy in 15 daily fractions over 3 weeks, or a hypofractionated protocol with 25 Gy in 5 daily fractions, taking into account the age and Karnoffsky performance status Also, the MGMT methylation status must be taken into account for the decision to omit chemotherapy and for the delivery of a short-course radiotherapy regimen (25 Gy in 5 fractions) Omission of chemotherapy should consider both the additional risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the limited benefit of temozolomide treatment in the case of unmethylated MGMT status © 2021, Czech Medical Association J E Purkyne All rights reserved


In this study, optimal parking lots (PLs) for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) fleet are allocated on a feeder of a given electrical distribution network to minimize the total cost of the local distribution company (DISCO) considering driving patterns of the PEVs' drivers and their behavioral model in respect to the value of incentive (discount on charging fee) and the distance from the PL. The cost terms include investment cost for installing the PLs, maintenance cost of the PLs, the expense of incentive provided to the PEVs' drivers, the energy loss cost of the feeder, and the expected energy not supplied (EENS) cost over the operation period. In order to achieve realistic results, economic factors such as yearly inflation and interest rates and technical factors including hourly and daily variations of the load demand, yearly load growth of the feeder, and yearly growth rate of PEVs' application are considered in the PL allocation planning problem. The optimization problem is solved applying quantum-inspired simulated annealing algorithm (QSA). We demonstrate that the behavioral model of the drivers and their driving patterns can remarkably affect the outcomes of the problem.

Barthelemy d'Eyck, The arms of Rene d'Anjou (London, BL, Egerton 1070, fol. 4v) When it comes to heraldic depictions in the Middle Ages, the role of the artists has been neglected for a long time. However, it is well known that the most famous painters and sculptors of their time were commissioned to carry out such depictions that played an important part in the public representation of the prince. The big names of art history such as the Limbourg brothers, Donatello, Pisanello, Barthelemy d'...


In this opinion article we examine the relationship between penetrometer resistance and soil depth in the field. Assuming that root growth is inhibited at penetrometer resistances > 2.5 MPa, we conclude that in most circumstances the increases in penetrometer resistance with depth are sufficiently great to confine most deep roots to elongating in existing structural pores. We suggest that deep rooting is more likely related to the interaction between root architecture and soil structure than it is to the ability of a root to deform strong soil. Although the ability of roots to deform strong soil is an important trait, we propose it is more closely related to root exploration of surface layers than deep rooting.


This work presents an implementation of a postfiltering algorithm for the reduction of video coding artifacts in highly compressed video, based on a fuzzy filtering approach. The implementation considers two fast methods for obtaining the filter weights, which are incorporated into a practical scheme for calculating the filter output.


A wrap for a head of long hair is formed as a pouch by two elongate towelling sheet-sections 1 and 2 of tapering crescent shape that are stitched together along an outwardly-curving seam 3. An open-mouth cap portion 6 receives the crown of the head, and a fillet 10 stitched between inwardly-curved elasticated edges 4 of the sheet-sections 1 and 2 defines a pocket 11 for receiving and enveloping the hair within a lower tail portion 7 of the pouch. The tail portion 7 is wound upon itself to twist the enveloped hair tightly within the wrap, and then folded over the cap portion 6 for retention there using an elastic loop 12. The mouth of the pocket 11 may be closed up onto the hair using a draw string (17, Fig 4), and closed from use using a press-stud fastening (14, 16).


A new formula describing the large-order behaviour of the strong coupling perturbation coefficients for the anharmonic oscillators with the Hamiltonian is suggested. A new method for the accurate calculation of the square root branch points of the energy from the numerical values of the coefficients is also suggested. The branch points and the related minimal values of the coupling constant for which the expansion converges are calculated for the ground state of the quartic, sextic, octic and decadic oscillators.


When children experience conflict in relationships with their teachers during early education, they perform more poorly on measures of language development and overall academic competence. Whereas children who have close relationships with teachers, often perform better on these measures. A close teacher–child relationship may be important for children learning to write, given the complex and personal nature of writing. Yet, scholars have not examined associations between teacher–child relationship quality and children's early success in writing. The current study examined associations between quality of the teacher–child relationship (defined as teachers' perceptions of closeness and conflict and children's anguage arly literacy indergarten irst grade feelings about teachers) and children's writing quality in kindergarten and first grade. Children's receptive language was also investigated as a moderator of these associations. Results indicated teacher–child conflict was significantly associated with children's writing quality, after accounting for grade level, initial reading status, and type of instruction. Findings of the study have important implications for future research and practice. Attention to the importance of conflict in teacher–child relationships and its' influence on children's literacy learning and development should be included in future research studies. The early years of school are an important time in children's arly literacy development. Early experiences with reading and riting in classrooms shape children's understanding of both the urpose and power of literacy. The academic demands of the indergarten and first grade literacy curriculum can be challengng, particularly for children with few literacy experiences prior to ntering school (Juel, 1988; Pianta, Cox, Taylor, & Early, 1999; Teale Sulzby, 1986). For years, researchers have sought to better undertand how children successfully acquire literacy skills. While much ttention has been paid to children's early reading development, ess attention has been paid to children's early writing developent (Clay, 2001). Yet, writing is a complex and demanding task or young children (Lienemann, Graham, Leader-Janssen, & Reid, 006) because it involves a great deal of cognitive effort, attentional ontrol, and self-regulation (Graham & Harris, 2003) as children ust use and integrate a variety of skills and processes, while also ttempting to make their writing meaningful for the intended audince. Given this complexity, children often need instructional, as ell as emotional support from their teachers in order to create oherent, well-written texts. According to the emotional security hypothesis, an extenion of attachment theory, feeling secure in one's environment is ∗ Tel.: +1 843 953 7372; mobile: +1 843 323 5156.

All rights reserved. important for a child's direct interactions and relationship with the teacher, but is also important for the child's general functioning in the classroom (Davies, Winter, & Cicchetti, 2006). The emotional security felt by a child helps to organize experiences and actions in the child's environment, as well as to make appraisals of self (Davies et al., 2006). Also, maintaining a sense of security is important for the child's concentration in a task (Koomen, van Leeuwen, & van der Leij, 2004). When stressed, a child's regulatory system is activated and strategies are employed to maintain the child's sense of security (Davies & Cummings, 1994). These strategies may include approaching an adult for help or visually checking-in. Therefore, a child who feels emotionally secure with (or highly connected to) his teacher may experience more comfort when facing the complex task of writing. For example, the child may be more motivated to ask questions about writing or bounce ideas off the teacher. This study is also informed by self-systems theory which argues children are most engaged in school when their basic psychological needs are met. These include the need to feel socially connected and valued (Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Connell & Wellborn, 1991; Ryan & Deci, 2000). Particular emphasis is placed on students' feelings of relatedness to teachers, which is measured by the students' perceptions of emotional security with teachers. The more positively connected children feel with their teachers, the more engaged they will be in school and the more motivated they will be to learn. Close relationships with a teacher increase students' engagement


Through most of the twentieth century, life scientists grew increasingly sceptical of the biological significance of folk classifications of people by race. New work on the human genome has raised the possibility of a resurgence of scientific interest in human races. This paper aims to show that the racial sceptics are right, while also granting that biological information associated with racial categories may be useful.


Nodulated and nonnodulated black alder, Alnusglutinosa (L.) Gaertn., seedlings were grown in two acid mine spoils amended with five rates of lime (0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 g/kg of soil size particles) and three rates of phosphorus (0.0, 25.0, and 50.0 mg/kg of soil size particles). Height growth of nodulated seedlings was enhanced by lime and phosphorus. A significant lime X phosphorus interaction occurred for height growth of nodulated seedlings in both spoils: response to liming increased as the level of phosphorus was increased. Best height growth occurred at the highest lime and phosphorus levels. Nonnodulated seedlings failed to respond to either of the spoil amendments. Nodule weights of seedlings also were affected by lime and phosphorus and followed the same response pattern as shoot length.


In her book Philosophy in a New Key, Susanne Langer remarks that certain ideas burst upon the intellectual landscape with a tremendous force. They resolve so many fundamental problems at once that they seem also to promise that they will resolve all fundamental problems, clarify all obscure issues. Everyone snaps them up as the open sesame of some new positive science, the conceptual center-point around which a comprehensive system of analysis can be built. The sudden vogue of such agrande idee, crowding out almost everything else for a while, is due, she says, "to the fact that all sensitive and active minds turn at once to exploiting it. We try it in every connection, for every purpose, experiment with possible stretches of its strkt meaning, with generalizations and derivatives." After we have become familiar with the new idea, however, after it has become part of our general stock of theoretical concepts, our expectations are brought more into balance with its actual uses, and its excessive popularity is ended. A few zealots persist in the old key0to-the universe view of it; but less driven thinkers settle down after a while to the problems the idea has really generated. They try to apply it and extend it where it applies and where it is capable of extension; and they desist where it does not apply or cannot be extended. It becomes, if it was, in truth, a seminal idea in the first place, a permanent and enduring part of our intellectual armory. But it no longer has the grandiose, all-promising scope, the infinite versatility of appar ent application, it once had. The second law of thermodynamics, or the principle of natural selection, or the notion of unconscious motivation, or the organization of the means of production does not explain everything, not even everything human, but it still explains some-


Summary Full thickness excisional defects of upper and lower lips are normally reconstructed by local tissues such as remaining lip segment. And adjacent check tissues, whenever possible or by regional or distant flaps when defects are large. Disadvantages inherited in all these flaps are loss of continuity of oral sphincter because of interruption of orbiculari oris muscle continuity and aesthetical unsatisfactory results. In present case a technique is used where above factors are overcome.


This study aims to determine that there are still many events that are still require the liability from the commercial air transportation company, both from the carrier company and those who are related to the carrier, such as flight delays (flight delay) either caused by weather factors or internal factors from the carrier company, the occurrence of negligence from the transport officer which causes the loss of goods owned by passengers, or because of there is an event for which the reason is unknown so that the aircraft experiences interference during the flight, from the results of this research it can be seen that the carrier operating the aircraft is obliged to be responsible for losses against: a. passengers who died, disability or injury; b. lost or damaged of the cabin baggage; c. lost, destroyed, or damaged of the checked baggage; d. lost, destroyed, or damaged of the cargo; e. delay in air transportation; and f. losses suffered by third parties as well as who are the parties involved, the requirements that must be fulfilled and how the rights and the obligations of the parties are fulfilled, as well as other provisions in its implementation if a passenger's goods are lost or damaged and provide a description of its protection.

Either a (Z)- or (E)-chloro(phosphinidene)methyllithium reagent, prepared from dichloromethylene- or (E)-chloromethylene-phosphine with butyllithium, respectively, reacted with carbonyl compounds to give the corresponding functionalized methylenephosphines. Although the stereochemistry of the products was retained during the initial step of the reaction, in some cases E/Z isomerization reactions occurred to the resulting methylenephosphines. Imidazolidinediones bearing the P=C bond were obtained for the first time by a reaction of the E-lithium reagent with phenyl isocyanate; the structure of the Z-isomer was determined by X-ray analysis.

Silverstein takes the Epicurean view to be 'that death cannot intelligibly be claimed to be an evil for the person who dies' (ED, p. 96), and to be based on two main premises. One is that, in order for something, x , to have any value for a subject, S, x must connect with S's feelings in some relevant way. Silverstein calls this the 'values connect with feelings' principle or VCF. The second main premise is that x can connect with S's feelings only if x coexists with S. From these two premises, the Epicurean concludes that S's death (in the sense of S's being dead ) cannot be an evil for S, since S's having feelings and S's being dead are mutually exclusive states of affairs. When one of them obtains, the other cannot, and hence there is what Silverstein calls a 'no-subject' problem, making it unintelligible that S's death could be an evil for S.


The article aims at a more precise definition of syllabic languages. Distinguishing between syllabic and syllabomorphemic languages does not make sense, unless it involves two levels of analysis. In the capacity of paradigmatic units, syllabeme and syllabomorpheme in syllabic languages are members of different paradigms. In the quasi-syllabic Mon-Khmer languages any monosyllabic word is represented by a syllabeme, yet not any of them are syllabomorphemes. In non-syllabic languages syllable is not a paradigmatic unit, and even if in some of them monosyllabic words are prevailing, syllable is phonologically irrelevant.


It is desired to develop heat exchangers able to be operated at high temperatures (750°C) and pressures (3636 psi) for use in advanced Brayton power cycle. Conventional materials have not had the high strength at temperature required for these applications previously, however a fairly new material Inconel 740H developed by Special Metals for the ultra-supercritical water fossil industry has shown good performance under these conditions. In further efforts to capitalize on these new high strength high temperature alloys CompRex has developed a diffusion bonding procedure capable of alloying compact high effectiveness heat exchangers that can perform under these high temperature and high-pressure conditions. Initial tests of the heat exchanger are being conducted at the University of Wisconsin using supercritical CO2 working fluid. The bonding process has been adjusted such that the strength of the bonded block has achieved over 90% yield and tensile strength of the 740H base material values. Grain size before and after bonding were measured to determine the extent of grain growth and grain diffusion across the interface. A discussion of the heat exchanger design, etching and initial tensile tests on sample bonds will be discussed.


are living in a smaller area, millions of them have no fixed residence, other millions live far from their jobs, and a large percentage of the inhabitants travel in an endless search for food. On the other hand, the amount of freight to be transported is considerably smaller, proportionate to the slump in industry, and estimated at hardly 50 per cent of that of the prewar period. But the facilities are not sufficient to transport even this amount. There is an enormous gap, therefore, between the job to be done and the capacity of the transportation system.

Abstract Does the ownership of time-saving household appliances have a positive impact on children's outcomes? I use micro-level data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey from 1989 through 2011 to infer that ownership of time-saving household appliances results in a decrease in time allocated to household work, increase in school enrollment rates, and decrease in labor force participation rates for children aged 12 to 18. When the sample is partitioned on the basis of gender, these outcomes are more pronounced among females. To deal with endogeneity of household durable goods, I instrument household ownership of time-saving appliances by average ownership rate among households with no children living in the same community and two family-specific time-using household assets. With gender equality and women's empowerment being a top priority among developing countries according to the United Nations, the results presented in this paper suggest one effective way to increase girls' school enrollment is to reduce their household obligations. Time-saving appliances are tools that can provide the requisite decrease in time dedicated to household work. This study is the first to estimate the effect of time-saving technologies on child outcomes.


The freezing of gait (FOG) is a common and highly distressing motor symptom of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Effective management of FOG is difficult given its episodic nature, heterogeneous manifestation and limited responsiveness to drug treatment. Clinicians found alternative approaches, such as rhythmic cueing. We built a smartphone-based architecture in agreement with acceptability and usability requirements which is able to gather data and information useful to detect FOG. In this work fusing together the information of freeze index, energy, cadency variation and the ratio of the derivative of the energy a novel Fuzzy Logic based algorithm is developed. Performances of the Fuzzy algorithm are compared with two other algorithms showing its capability to reduce false negative detection thus improving sensitivity and specificity.


With the advance of reformation in higher education,universities' sovereignty as to running a school is continuously expanding,which gives rise to the fact that presidents are having a more and more outstanding effect on the reformation and development of universities.The influences that presidents have on universities are mainly embodied in such five aspects as guidelines on running a school,ability to raise money,personality charm,post authority as well as function duties.


45 female and 25 male students were unable to guess from photographs with an accuracy better than chance which people had died from suicide.


Bogota's residents have been adopting bicycle as their main source of transportation in the past years. Because
of this, Bogota's government has implemented a variety of public policies that seeks to guarantee the resident's common
right to choose the bicycle as their conveyance. Likewise, the grow of the city bikers' population has generated an
increase in the bicycle purchase, which usually do not satisfy each individual requisite, thus contributing to the increase of
users' physical problems, aches and related pains at the end of the rides. This bachelor's degree paper, based on the
literature and the observed improve opportunities, achieved to design and manufacture an urban bike saddle for men riders
considering the pressure and comfort variables, supported on the Bogota's urban riders demands. Mainly, the design and
manufacturing of the saddle were developed through engineering tools and the Dieter & Schmidt (2009) design
methodology, considering design variables such as: length of saddle nose, relief channel, padded cushion, saddle width
and saddle slope. Therefore, three saddle prototypes were developed which were subjected to a weighted selection matrix
for the choice of the final saddle prototype that would be manufactured. Besides, process and machinery analysis were
taken into account to obtain the design of the production line which contains all the processes necessary for the
manufacture of the proposed saddle.


In light of the shortage of wavelet transform,the natural annual runoff time series of Miyun reservoir from 1956 to 2000 is decomposed into multiple time-scale series with EMD method.The results show that the runoff time series has periods which are about 2~4 years,5~6 years,8~9 years,11 years and 17~19 years and the trends of the IMF sub-series are also discussed.The results can be the reference for management of Miyun reservoir.


September 1 979, volume 24 This study operationalizes and tests Campbell's trapped administrator effect. In an experimental simulation, job insecurity and policy resistance were manipulated and their effects were measured upon commitment to a course of action. Results showed that as job insecurity and policy resistance increased, so did commitment to a previously chosen course of action. These results support the idea that the trapped administrator is one who is most likely to become committed to a policy position and remain inflexible to change in the face of negative consequences.


Revolutionary teacher Lenin had carried on a preliminary exploration about the socialism and its essence, on which Mao Zedong has done the further beneficial exploration. Inheriting the above theories in the foundation, Deng Xiaoping formed and developed the scientific Socialism essence theory.


The purpose of this study is to analyze American remake versions of the original British films taking narrative as a basis. It claims that the American remakes put America forward as a cultural product for sale, and makes the British narrative Americanized. For the study, four films have been chosen for analysis: Alfie (1966, dir. Lewis Gilbert), Alfie (2004, dir. Charles Shyer), Bedazzled (1967, dir. Stanley Donen), Bedazzled (2000, dir. Harold Ramis). This study explores the narrative elements of the American remakes by comparing the remakes with their originals. These narrative elements are setting, intertextuality and Americanization.


The approximation of the renormalized stress-energy tensor of the quantized massive scalar, spinor, and vector field in Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime is constructed. It is achieved by functional differentiation of the lowest order of the Schwinger-DeWitt effective action involving the coincidence limit of the Hadamard-Minakshisundaram-DeWitt-Seely coefficient ${a}_{3},$ and restricting the thus obtained general formulas to spacetimes with a vanishing curvature scalar. For the massive scalar field with an arbitrary curvature coupling, our results reproduce those obtained previously by Anderson, Hiscock, and Samuel by means of a sixth-order WKB approximation.


Absorbing materials are widely used in transport industry. Classical foams can efficiently improve transmission loss of panels, but only in the higher frequency range. For the lower part of the frequency range, structural active control can be a good strategy to reduce the vibratory level and induced noise. Trying to take advantage of those two points is the objective of the development of hybrid foams. Many practical and scientific aspects are related to their design: which passive material should be used? Which active material, and what shapes should be better? In order to understand the basics of the hybrid foams, some specific multiphysics models are developed, including vibro‐acoustic modelling of foams, coupled with elasto‐dynamics for structural parts and piezo‐elastic models for active parts. The objective of the strategy is to try to take advantage of distributed actuators within the foam in order to modify the energy transmission path. The physical strategy is presented in the paper, together with the full description of the model, with numerical results. The main difficulty for the numerical part is the very high number of degrees of freedom which are required by the model. Some model reduction strategies are then investigated.


Objective:To investigate changes of serum CA153,CA125 and CEA levels after operation in patients with breast cancer.Methods:Serum CA153,CA125 and CEA levels were measured by CLIA in 168 patients with breast cancer(I or Ⅱ 125,Ⅲ or Ⅳ 43) both before and 3 months after operation.While 132 controls also underwent these detection.Results:Before operation,in the patients the serum CA153,CA125 and CEA levels were significantly higher than those in the controls(P0.01).The positive rate of Combined determination of serum CA153,CA125,CEA was higher than that in single determination(P0.01).Three months after operation,the serum(ⅠorⅡ) CA153,CA125 and CEA levels dropped markedly(P0.05)and were not significantly different from those in controls(P0.05).Three months after operation the serum(Ⅲ or Ⅳ)CA153,CA125,CEA levels dropped markedly(P0.05),but were still higher than those in controls(P0.05).Conclusion: Detection of serum CA153,CA125 and CEA levels is valuable for the diagnosis and outcome prediction in patients with breast cancer.


In this study, an amphioxus cDNA, AmphiSDHD, encoding the cytochrome b small subunit in mitochondrial succi–nate–ubiquinone oxidoreductase, was isolated from the gut cDNA library of amphioxus Branchiosioma belcheri tsingtauense. It is 1429 bp in length, with an open reading frame of 465 bp coding for a protein of 154 amino acids. The deduced protein contains a mitochondrial tar geting presequence of 65 amino acids rich in basic residues like arginine and hydroxy residues such as serine and threonine. Alignment of the amino acid sequences of AmphiSDHD and other eukaryotic SDHD proteins showed that AmphiSDHD has three transmembrane segments, and includes two histidine residues in the second transmembrane segment that are the putative binding sites for the heme b molecule. The phylogenetic tree constructed suggests that AmphiSDHD appears more closely related to vertebrate SDHD proteins than in–vertebrate ones. Northern blotting demonstrated that AmphiSDHD is ubiquitously expressed in amphioxus, being in line...


OBJECTIVE
To identify potential mutation of ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene in a Chinese family affected with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

METHODS
Blood samples were collected from the affected male proband, his family members and 103 unrelated individuals. Following extraction of genomic DNA, coding sequence of the EDA gene was amplified with PCR, and DNA sequencing was performed to detect potential mutation.

RESULTS
A novel missense mutation, c.822G>T (p.W274C), was identified in exon 7 of the EDA gene in the proband, whilst his mother was found to be a heterozygous carrier. The same mutation was also found in 5 other family members including one affected male and four females, but was absent in unaffected males and 103 unrelated individuals.

CONCLUSION
A c.822G>T mutation in exon 7 of the EDA gene probably underlies the disease in this Chinese family.


There have been a number of interesting and exciting developments in computer vision research over the past decade. In this paper we briefly review some of those in which the contribution of Briti sh research groups has been prominent. Examples include model based vision, the application of invariance theory, active vision, and the application of statistical techniques to the modelli ng and interpretation of images of objects whose shape and appearance can vary from instance to instance. The main focus of the paper is on reviewing some recent developments in the application of statistical techniques, both at the pixel and object levels. The former is ill ustrated by examples from our own work on the modelli ng of colour images, whilst the latter is mainly concerned with the modelli ng of the shape and appearance of objects using principal components analysis as pioneered by the group at the University of Manchester in their Point Distribution and Active Shape Models. It is emphasised throughout how the use of such modelli ng techniques is dependent on the identification of problems for which there is a well defined ensemble of possible images leading to well defined distributions and manageable statistics. The importance of using up to date tools, programming methods and computing environments is illustrated in passing.


Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of atorvastatin on serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) in the patients with unstable angina.Methods 54 patients with unstable angina were randomly divided into two groups.Based on routine treatment,28 cases in the control group were given oral atorvastatin 10mg once daily and 26 cases in treatment group were given oral atorvastatin 20mg once daily.The levels of blood lipid and high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) were measured with biochemistry assay.Results The serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),lower density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and hs-CRP in the patients of the two groups after treated 8 weeks were significantly lower than before administration(P0.05).There was no significant difference in the changes of blood lipid level between the two groups(P0.05),whereas there was significant difference(P0.05)in the changes of hs-CRP level between them.Conclusion The results suggest that different doses of atorvastatin can significantly decreased the serum hs-CRP level of the unstable angina pectoris,and the effect of large dose group is more significant than that of low dose group.It shows better anti-inflammatory effect by large doses atorvastatin with unstable angina.

This paper is concerned with the estimation of covariance matrices in the presence of heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation of unknown forms. Currently available estimators that are designed for this context depend upon the choice of a lag truncation parameter and a weighting scheme. No results are available regarding the choice of lag truncation parameter for a fixed sample size, regarding data-dependent automatic lag truncation parameters, or regarding the choice of weighting scheme. This paper addresses these problems. Asymptotically optimal kernel/weighting scheme and bandwidth/lag truncation parameters are obtained. Using these results, data-dependent automatic bandwidth/lag truncation parameters are introduced. Copyright 1991 by The Econometric Society.


A compound material based on aluminum and amorphous, soft magnetic alloys has been developed by means of glueing techniques which are commonly used in aerospace applications to produce metallic or fibrous laminates. It is well suited for the construction of high-quality shielding containers against electromagnetic fields from dc to some 100 kHz. Its magnetic properties can be modified over a wide range by varying the number and the thickness of the laminate. The magnetic properties are not affected by mechanical working processes, such as turning, cutting or drilling.<<ETX>>


This chapter considers several discrete snapshots or "sequences" in the life of military necessity—as it has come to be understood within the laws of the jus in bello. Commencing with its relationship with self-preservation under the laws of war and peace, the chapter proceeds to examine the idea of "necessity" of self-defense within the laws of the jus ad bellum; it then turns to "military necessity" as invoked in the Lieber Code, the 1907 Hague Regulations, Additional Protocol I of 1977 and the 1954 Hague Convention, the ICRC Study on Customary International Humanitarian Law as well as the advisory jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice. Consideration is given, too, to "necessity" as it features within the law of State responsibility, in order to more fully understand the function, status and standing of "military necessity" more generally within the jus in bello.


This study aims to investigate the effect of the chain whisper game on children's receptive language skills. This study used a quasy-experimental design. The population in this study was all the students at Teratai Integrated Preschool in Makassar. With purposive sampling technique, the sample of this study was 12 students that were divided into 6 students in the experimental group and 6 students in the control group. The data was collected by conducting observations, tests, and documentation and then analyzed using descriptive statistical and nonparametric statistical methods. The results showed that the value of Asym (2-tailed) was 0.005 < 0.05, meaning that H1 was accepted and H0 was rejected and indicating that there were differences in receptive language skills between the experimental group and the control group. These results suggest that the chain whisper game has a significant effect on young children's receptive language skills.


This paper will present an overview of the development of salt water marinas in Mexico. The focus will be on the character of the market, both from a provider of facilities and from a user of those facilities points of view, and considerations related to the construction of marina facilities and their operation. This paper is not concerned with the extensive governmental regulations that apply. That subject is being addressed in a companion paper by my associate, Dr. Alfonse Torres Roqueni. Dr. Torres has been extensively involved with governmental officials concerning the requirements for the development of a modern, state of the art marina. In fact, he has been responsible for the formulation of many policies on this subject. This paper therefore assumes that all governmental requirements will be met. Additional information can also be obtained from Mrs. Tere C. Grossman, president of the Association of Mexican Tourist Marinas and operator of the San Carlos Marina, San Carlos, Mexico.


Abstract Introduction Lung cancer patients presenting with advanced cancer face low survival rates and a high symptom burden. There have been mixed findings for the association between survival and various patient reported outcomes (PROs). Methods We used prospective data from 111 lung cancer patients with advanced stage III/IV disease to investigate the association of survival with PROs (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core-30 and Lung Module). Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the individual association between several PRO measures and survival. Results Pain in chest and global quality of life (QoL) were found to have the strongest association with survival with a 20% increased hazard of death per 10% increase in pain in chest and 14% decrease in hazard of death per 10% increase in global QoL. Conclusion Our results provide more evidence for the value of PRO data to inform clinical and patient decision-making.


The study area encompasses portions of the Coast Mountains and the Nechako Plateau. The Coast Mountains are a northwest-trending series of ranges made up of granitic and metamorphic rocks. The mountains conlmonly rise atove 1800 metres elevation and typically have steep dissected slopes. The Nechako Plate:au, which extends easterly f.orn the Coast Mountains, is underlain by volcanic and sedintentary rocks. The transition b8:tween physiographic divisions is marked by Chikamin Range and W h i t e d Range, which project northeastward from the Coast Mountains. T k s e ranges have peaks in excess of 2200 metres elevation; relief gradually diminishes northeastwards to hilly topographi, above 900 metres elevation, Characteristic of the Eiechako Plateau. The Quanchus intrusion forms the core of the Quanchus Range, an uplifted area rising more than 1100 metres above the valley bottom along the eastern margin of the study area.


A pure-cone retina has been reported in the larval stages of teleosts from three families, viz. the salmon Oncorhynchus spp. by Ali (1959), the herring Clupea harengus by Blaxter & Jones (1967) and plaice Pleuronectes platessa by Blaxter (1968 a). There is also an absence of any retinomotor responses (movement of retinal masking pigment and changes in the relative positions of the visual cells) until the rods develop, which is usually at metamorphosis where this is clear-cut. Most adult teleosts are known to have a duplex retina.


In many applications, it is convenient to represent data as a graph, and often these datasets will be quite large. This paper presents an architecture for analyzing massive graphs, with a focus on signal processing applications such as modeling, filtering, and signal detection. We describe the architecture, which covers the entire processing chain, from data storage to graph construction to graph analysis and subgraph detection. The data are stored in a new format that allows easy extraction of graphs representing any relationship existing in the data. The principal analysis algorithm is the partial eigendecomposition of the modularity matrix, whose running time is discussed. A large document dataset is analyzed, and we present subgraphs that stand out in the principal eigenspace of the time-varying graphs, including behavior we regard as clutter as well as small, tightly-connected clusters that emerge over time.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. Let φ: S(R) → S(R) ∪ {∅} be a function, where S(R) is the set of ideals of R. Suppose n ≥ 2 is a positive integer. A nonzero proper ideal I of R is called (n − 1, n) − φ-prime if, whenever a 1, a 2, ⋅, a n ∈ R and a 1 a 2⋅a n ∈ I∖φ(I), the product of (n − 1) of the a i 's is in I. In this article, we study (n − 1, n) − φ-prime ideals (n ≥ 2). A number of results concerning (n − 1, n) − φ-prime ideals and examples of (n − 1, n) − φ-prime ideals are also given. Finally, rings with the property that for some φ, every proper ideal is (n − 1, n) − φ-prime, are characterized.
