Understanding Victim (victim) and logi (science), Latin "victima" victims of "logos" science. Means knowledge about victims of crime. In a criminal trial the parties that play a role are the public prosecutor, judge, defendant, and legal counsel and witnesses. The victim was represented by the public prosecutor and to corroborate the usual evidence he was made a witness (victim). Often the public prosecutor acts at will by not representing the interests of the victim and ignoring the victim's protection rights. The victim was ignored because: The problem of crime cannot be understood in proportion The problem is not based on the prevailing theory Understanding the problem is not seen from the human side

Caldwell and Chiu [1, 2] have used a simple front-fixed method, namely, the Heat Balance Integral Method (HBIM), to solve one-phase solidification problems. In this paper the method is extended to two-phase Stefan problems which arise when the effect of sub-cooling is taken into consideration. Numerical results for the two-phase cylindrical problem are obtained for a range of sub-divisions (n), sub-cooling parameters (0), Stefan number (a) and ratio of conductivities (/ r AT ~\ ;>o (i) Z>0 (2) Ti-Tj, r = R(t), t > 0, and 7\ = T,, r = a, Z > 0 T2 = To, r>5(0, t > 0, and T2 = 7>, r = R(t), t>Q and for the moving boundary and the solid-liquid interface, we have (3) < 2 , , _ -i \A2 % = Lpi (4) dr dr dt where /3 — 0, 1 or 2 depending on the geometry of the problem, and represents solidification process in planes, infinite cylinders and spheres. Heat balance integral method Since we have to solve two partial differential equations in the two-phase problem, we have to employ two sets of sub-divisions, one for the solid region and one for the liquid region (in our formulation we use R and S respectively for this purpose). In each region, we sub-divide the temperature range into n equal intervals and use a linear approximation profile at each interval as in the case of one-phase problems (see Figure 1). The above set of partial differential equations can then be reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations. — ~dt Transactions on Engineering Sciences vol 5, © 1994 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3533


Selection of the sound signal is the key to measure time delay and reduce error in the acoustic pyrometry system.In this paper,the pseudo-random binary sequence(PRBS) and the chirp signal were simulated on Matlab to research the quality of correlation and anti-noise.The time-delay estimation of the PRBS and chirp signal was experimented in the noisy condition.The results show that the PRBS signal has better precision,stability,and quantity of anti-noisy than the chirp signal,which is more proper to be used as the measuring signal with the property of 2-value in the correlation function.


This Article will analyze the scope of copyright ownership in relation to chains of unauthorized derivative works and chains of arrangement rights in cover versions of musical recordings. In particular, the analysis will focus on the gray area in the law where an unauthorized derivative work ("D1") is created by an author and another author creates a second derivative work ("D2") based off of D1. In situations such as these, does the creator of the original derivative work have any rights in their creation if their derivative work was unauthorized? Further, depending on what rights do exist for D1, can the creator of the D2 be found to be infringing upon D1? Moreover, even in the case of certain authorized chains of works such as musical "covers" produced under a compulsory license, does the creator of the first derivative work D1 have any legal recourse against further authorized derivative work creators who base their work on the first derivative work? This phenomenon is demonstrated through examples based in contemporary urban art (Keith Haring and Banksy) and cover songs created through compulsory licenses (Sir Mix-A-Lot, Glee, and Jonathan Coulton).


reserve is no sign of other-wordliness, for Rosenthal has never been one to shrink from difficult topics or from illuminating present concerns with light from the past. His book on hashish (1971), and his study here of passive male homosexuality, treat with tact and erudition topics that might, in others' hands, have degenerated into sensationalism or propaganda. As well as an index and a selection of additional notes, this collection contains a full bibliography of Rosenthal's papers, books, and reviews, which will serve to direct the interested reader to other relevant, if less familiar, publications of the author. These two volumes contribute to the growing literature on the health of native Americans and the nature of their medical systems before the arrival of Europeans. In the introduction to Aztec medicine, health, and nutrition, Bernard Ortiz de Montellano raises the often-asked question, "Can Aztec vulnerability to European disease and abuse be explained by general weakness before the Conquest?" He responds by arguing that "in the main, the Aztecs were a healthy people [thus] Aztec medicine becomes an important part of the issue." The author begins his study with a systematic review of written sources compiled after the Spanish invasion and an explanation of the Aztec world-view and its relation to medical practices. Then he proceeds to tackle the controversy surrounding the size of the native population of Aztec Mexico in 1519. Using a model based on the carrying capacity of the land, he concludes that the oft-cited estimate of 25 million inhabitants should be halved. According to Ortiz, the Aztec diet was excellent, better, in fact, than that consumed by modern-day residents of central Mexico. In addition, he offers an empirical evaluation of the Aztec diet and medicinal herbs, much of which is summarized in the Appendices where he includes data on the chemical analyses of commonly-used foods and herbs. In this way, he claims that one can determine the effectiveness of Aztec cures and the nutritional strengths and weaknesses of the Aztec diet. Ortiz's discussion of epidemiology is rather brief and covers no new ground, but his chapters on aetiology, curing, and syncretism are important and innovative. He argues convincingly that modern Mexican folk medicine is the result of a syncretic process involving both Aztec and European medical traditions, thus challenging the studies of anthropologist George Foster and others who claim that modern Latin American folk medicine derives almost entirely …


Natural convection inside a triangular solar collector is investigated numerically for different nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids in this study. The individual effects of Al2O3–water, carbon nanotubes (CNT)–water, and Cu–water nanofluids are observed for different solid volume fractions of nanoparticles (0%–10%). Three types of hybrid nanofluids are prepared using different ratios of Al2O3, CNT, and Cu nanoparticles in water. A comparison is made varying the Rayleigh numbers within laminar range (103–106) for different tilt angles (0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°) of the solar collector. The inclined surface of the triangular solar collector is isothermally cold and the bottom wall (absorber plate) is isothermally hot, whereas the vertical wall with respect to the absorber plate is considered adiabatic. Average Nusselt numbers along the hot wall for different parameters are observed. Streamlines and isotherm contours are also plotted for different cases. Dimensionless governing Navier–Stokes and thermal energy conservation equations are solved by Galerkin weighted residual finite element method. Better convective heat transfer is found for higher Rayleigh number, solid volume fraction, and tilt angle. In the case of hybrid nanofluid, increasing the percentage of the nanoparticle that gives better heat transfer performance individually results in enhancing natural convection heat transfer inside the enclosure.


An H-bridge power supply has been developed for different experiments on the STOR-M tokamak. Four insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are used to guide the current to the load from a capacitor bank discharge. The timing signal to the gates of the IGBTs is controlled by a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The power supply can be programmed to drive either a sinusoidal current waveform to an inductive load or a bipolar rectangular current waveform to a resistive load. The maximum frequency and current tested for the sinusoidal current waveform are 25 kHz and 2200 A, respectively. For bipolar current waveforms, the maximum current tested is 1500 A at 3 kHz. The sinusoidal current to a set of helical coils was used for the Resonant Magnetic Perturbation (RMP) experiments and the bipolar rectangular current waveform was used for both the electrode biasing experiments and the RMP experiments on the STOR-M tokamak.


In the minimal gravitational sector of the Standard-Model Extension, there is a coefficient whose physical consequences are unknown, and the reason behind this lack of effects is still puzzling. This contribution summarizes several studies where the goal was to find a fundamental explanation of this puzzle. So far, no evidence of such a fundamental explanation has been found, suggesting that this coefficient could actually produce physical effects. Nevertheless, while looking for this fundamental reason, several relevant lessons have been revealed.


transition flow beds, and 2 kinds of dune beds. Bed material used in the study was a moderately well sorted sand (median = 0.286 mm) from the Rio Grande near Bernardo, New Mexico. Opaque heavy minerals consisting mainly of ilmenite and magnetite (median = 0.144 mm) made up 0.38% of the bed material by volume. Concentrations of opaque heavy minerals were formed as 3 basic types: (1) small thin concentrations associated with dunes that lacked topset beds and on the stoss sides of large dunes with topset beds; (2) concentrations associated with the topset deposits of large dunes and with dunes formed in the transition flow; and (3) widespread concentrations associated with the flat-bed condition. The most important factors influencing the type and degree of sorting of the opaque heavy minerals from light minerals were bed configuration and grain density. The thickest deposits of heavy minerals were associated witn the topset deposits of large dunes, but the most widespread deposits were associated with the flatbed type of bed form. Density is important to segregation because the differences in shear stress necessary to move the light minerals and to move opaque heavy minerals are large. Equivalent fall velocities of grains of two different densities were determined to have httle importance in local segregating mechanisms.


Mixtures of ethane and ethylene have been pyrolyzed in the temperature range 563–600 °C and at pressures from 30–60 cm. The products were similar to those obtained from the pyrolysis of ethylene by itself, described m Part I, with a marked increase in the yields of the saturated products. The initial rates of product formation and the dependence of these rates on the concentration of ethane suggest that the initiation step is the same as that proposed in the pyrolysis of ethylene alone, viz.and that the reactionis not an important source of radicals. A simplified mechanism is outlined to account for the main effects of ethane on the free radical chain polymerization.


We begin this month with A.P. Liferov's article on "The Reintegration of the Educational Space of the CIS," in which he considers ways in which more closely integrated educational systems could help the new nations and regions to deal with common problems. Moreover, as he notes, restoring "a stable field of educational, cultural, and informational influence in the countries of the near abroad is a vital problem for Russia's national security. This is even more obvious when we consider that education and science, as spheres of cooperation, are perceived in a considerably more positive light in the social consciousness of the peoples of the former republics of the USSR than is cooperation in the field of politics and economics, wherein any attempt to tie emerging problems to the strengthening of integration between them is often viewed as pressure." Educational arrangements that help smooth over ethnic divisions or language problems, or improve career prospects, could help with achieving the economic and political cooperation that has so far been elusive. Exactly what the content of this educational approach should be, however, is not as clear; indeed, one of the most discussed issues in Russia during the last ten years has been that of the kind of education that is best suited to the new, post-Soviet conditions. As we can see from G.D. Gleizer's article on "The New Russia: General Education and a Society in the Process of Formation," how one could reconfigure the organization and content of education without at the same time creating new problems or undermining previous achievements is not at all clear. Of special concern in this article is defining the purpose of secondary education, and by extension how this could be accomplished. For example, should the focus be on preparation for work or for further education? How can universal access be achieved when the state does not provide for all expenses? And how can schools prevent those youngsters who are failing or who are from troubled families from dropping out? One of the most difficult problems facing society is what to do about the large number of children who are completely outside of the educational system, and are living on the margins or (literally) on the streets. The dimensions of this problem, and what to do about it, are the focus of S.A. Stephenson's analysis in "Children of the Streets and Shadow Communities of the City." What makes things difficult, as she notes, is that "there are no reliable data on the numbers of street children in Russia, especially since there is no unified consensus as to just who are to be considered children of the streets." As her study shows, though, it is clear that these children are mainly from poor or troubled families, often from abusive homes, and have parents who work at rather menial jobs. Many are also migrants, having moved to the city on a temporary basis or because they are trying to escape from areas in conflict. Lacking family support, they turn, as she shows, to the numerous youth-subculture groups that provide at least some sense of protection and belonging.


The biomechanical analysis has been made to evaluate the effect of osteotomy level and direction, shift character and amount on the quality of anatomic result while performing pelvic osteotomy with distal fragment medialization


We present S82-20, an unusual redshift ≈3 object identified in SDSS-Stripe 82 broad-band images. The rest-frame ultraviolet spectrum of S82-20 shows emission lines from highly ionized species, including He ii λ1640, and the C iv λλ1548, 1550 and Ovi λλ1032, 1038 doublets. The high Lyα luminosity (3.5×1044 erg s−1), the high emission line equivalent widths (> 200Å for Lyα ), the FWHM of the emission lines (< 800km s−1), and the high ionization Ovi line strongly support the interpretation that S82-20 is a Type II QSO. However, photoionization models using Type II QSO do not fully explain the measured C iv/He ii line ratio, which requires either some contribution from star-formation or high velocity shocks. Additionally, S82-20 is not detected at wavelengths longer than 2μm, in tension with the expectation of isotropically IR emission of a luminous QSO. We consider the possibility that S82-20 is a rare example of a changing-look QSO, observed in a temporarily low state, where the broad line region has faded, while the narrow line region still emits emission line. Otherwise, it may be a rare case of the short phase of the life of a massive galaxy, in which active star formation and accretion onto a supermassive black hole coexist.


In the multi-relations between man and nature, the aesthetic relationship is the one that displays non-utilitarianism, image, and the characteristics of centering on feeling. The activities of human's social practice promote the evolution of brains and make the physiological sense mature, which is the basis of the aesthetic relationship. With the development of the society, the aesthetic relationship gradually develops. In comparison with the other relationships between man and nature, the aesthetic relationship has the characteristics of compatibility, individual independence, historicity and etc.


The objective of this research was the morphomolecular identification of species of the genus Fusarium associated with native and commercial maize genotypes in municipalities of Puebla and Morelos, Mexico, as well as to describe the socioeconomic and cultural importance of maize cultivation. Fusarium species were isolated from grains and stem cuttings with purple, brown, and dark brown pigmentations. They were identified morphomolecularly by using taxonomic keys and the Dinocapture 2.0 software, and by DNA extraction by the CTAB method and amplification of the ITS1 and ITS4 region by PCR. Four species were identified: Fusarium equiseti, Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium incarnatum and Fusarium napiforme with an identity greater than 98%. The genotypes with the highest incidence of Fusarium spp. were: Pioneer 30F35 in San Miguel, Teotlalco, Puebla by F. verticillioides (A2). The genotypes with the lowest incidence were: Shark from Tetelilla, Morelos by F. incarnatum (A1), F. verticillioides (A6) and F. napiforme (A7). Maize is the main food in many locations in Mexico, however, due to the high consumption of this grain and its derivatives, as well as the high consumption of meat presumably fed with this grain, it could represent a route of ingestion of mycotoxins.


Structural analysis is one of the most important techniques for reliability evaluation of space components applied in space.Its primary aim is to obtain the information about the probability of a component to meet the evaluation requirements and the operational goals of the concerned program,and to avoid components with inappropriate construction entering into the space application.The structural analysis techniques for space components based on unit structural decomposition and factor identifying are discussed in this paper.The technical procedure and work flow of the structural analysis are proposed.


We investigate narrative production of 8-10 year old typically developing bilingual children. One group of these children grow up in Germany and attend German schools with exposure to Greek in afternoon classes only, while the other group attends the German School of Thessaloniki. Biographical data were gathered through a detailed questionnaire, allowed us to determine age of onset and input measures. A vocabulary production task was used as an independent measure of language proficiency. The results reveal correlations between working memory function and type of bilingualism. Vocabulary measures seem to correlate with narrative production both in qualitative and quantitative terms.


This paper illustrates the Pre-Qin Taoist thoughts embodied in Mao's Preface to the Book of Songs by analyzing its style and content,based on its comparisons and contrasts with On the Poetry of Chu Kingdom during the Autumn-Spring and Warring Period,which is housed in Shanghai Museum.Such Taoist philosophical ideas are manifested in the essay as the contradiction and transformation between the two fundamental components,movement of circulation,obedience,inferiority,quietness,freedom from desires,and so on.Finally,the paper discusses the way Taoism is integrated with Confucianism in this book.


Universities are the main target of the spread of Radical Islam among the Youth. Even though regulations have been set by the government to apply national insights, the practice of implementing them in universities is not optimal. This research aims to explore the practice of religious certification to support national beliefs, moderation, and religious harmony. This research was conducted at Nurul Jadid University, one of the Islamic boarding schools in the Probolinggo region, East Java. In responding to the regulatory policy of implementing nationalism in higher education, Nurul Jadid University established a Religious Certification Institution which functions to carry out standardization of religious needs which include the Koran, furūḍ al-'Ainiyyah, religious teachings and Islamic boarding schools. By using a qualitative paradigm with a semi-structured interview approach and field observations, this research shows that the religious certification program as the mainstreaming of religious moderation for students at Nurul Jadid University is very effective in educating students of moderation and tolerance. In addition, this study found that religious certification was used as a certificate accompanying a diploma (SKPI) whose legality was recognized by Permendikbudristek No. 6 of 2022 concerning Diplomas, Competency Certificates, Professional Certificates, Degrees, and the Equivalence of Diplomas of Higher Education in Other Countries to support student competence and prove that UNUJA alumni are moderate cadres.


The possibility of application of the cognitive methods for economic simulation in the field of telecommunication is considered. From the results of the cognitive analysis and regression, the equation of elasticity of supply for the associations of influence of tariff policy on a level of the incomes and budget independence are defined.


VANITY FAIR IS A NOVEL OF ENIGMAS. In particular, after finishing the book, readers have often wondered why Thackeray refuses to tell us clearly whether or not Becky actually kills Joseph Sedley in chapter 67–a question recently given prominence by John Sutherland as one of the "Great Puzzles in Nineteenth-Century Literature" (66–72). The explanation most commonly given for Thackeray's evasiveness on this point is that such unanswered questions in Vanity Fair are part of the artistry of this unconventional work of fiction, a book that A. E. Dyson has described as "surely one of the world's most devious novels" (76). This view of Vanity Fair as a novel of narrative legerdemain–intended to keep the reader constantly alert and pondering what is being shown (or concealed)–is certainly true. However, an additional possible explanation for Thackeray's ambiguity on the subject of Jos's death also ought to be considered. This explanation lies in Thackeray's horrified reaction to the public execution of François Benjamin Courvoisier on 6 July 1840. The echoes between Thackeray's appalled description of the events of that morning and his subsequent famous novel suggest that he privately conceived of Becky as murdering Jos. The echoes also suggest that one reason why Thackeray handled this fictional murder obliquely is that, by the time of writing Vanity Fair, he had come to believe that, although executions might occur, they should not take place in public. Exploring the subtle connections between Thackeray's profound revulsion at the death of Courvoisier and Thackeray's later treatment of Jos's death gives deeper meaning to the intentional ambiguities in chapter 67. These connections make the ambiguities surrounding the death of Jos part of a widespread debate over capital punishment in the 1840s and have significant ramifications in terms of the parallel between public executions and pornography and with regard to the role of Becky in this novel.


Despite increasing jobs predicted in the areas of engineering and computer science, there is a well-documented and consistent drop in the number of women in these fields at each level of advancement, and these trends are even more profound for minority women [1]. Decisions about participation are frequently made prior to high school, and have been linked to factors such as prior experience, interest, and sense of fit with community [2]. Out-of-school time has been identified as a potential space for STEM-related programming that breaks free of traditional models [3], and there is evidence of learning and engagement outcomes from such programs serving underrepresented populations [4]. However, programs that happen out of school are often voluntary, presenting very real challenges of recruiting and retention. Inequities have been identified in student participation in out-of-school STEM programming, with males and dominant populations being more likely to access such opportunities (e.g. [5]). To truly broaden participation, we need to not only design quality programs, but also work to develop and understand recruiting strategies that can encourage young people and families who are not already engaged to participate. The specifics of such efforts, even for programs that have been successful in recruiting, are often undocumented [6]. In this poster, we attend specifically to the critical question of how to recruit young women from underrepresented populations who do not see themselves as engineers and computational thinkers to participate in opportunities that could spark interest, broaden social learning networks, and lead to the pursuit of further learning. The Digital Divas program invites inner-city middle school girls interested in fashion and design to develop e-textiles and try out introductory programming during out-of-school time. In this poster we share program recruitment strategies from two Digital Divas implementations, spring and summer, and compare participants in terms of general demographics, identity, and confidence with technology. Both implementations were successful in recruiting minority girls from around Chicago. Summer implementation, which followed a redesign of recruiting methods, evidenced participants who were additionally aligned with the program's target population: girls who signed up for the summer program had less access to computing opportunities at home and school and less incoming engagement and confidence with computer science and engineering than spring participants. This work points to the importance of attending to strategies and materials for recruitment. Summer recruitment materials had less emphasis on technical language, more on design and creation; had more images of girls and their projects, reflecting diversity of participants; highlighted solutions to potential barriers, including low cost, lunch, and nearby public transport; and were strategically shared through online networks. Recommendations for strategies include: (1) close attention to language and imagery to engage families from non-dominant populations; (2) redundant, targeted, channels of distribution, utilizing online networks and local organizations.


INTRODUCTION Robert Bakker (1986) branded himself and a small group of groundbreaking and upstart paleontologists in the 1960s and 1970s "heretics" because they challenged the mainstream view of dinosaurs as slow, sluggish, and cold-blooded reptiles. This view, that dinosaurs were warm-blooded, active, bird-like creatures, much different than extant reptiles of today, is now widely accepted by scientists and the public alike. Yet, this viewpoint has been challenged in recent years by a small but active minority group of researchers, herein described as the new generation of heretics. This paper concentrates on some of the newer evidence suggesting that dinosaurs might have been cold-blooded or ectothermic. Unfortunately, the proof of whether an animal is endothermic or ectothermic is found only in soft tissue anatomy, which is not well preserved and is extremely rare in the fossil record (Ruben and Jones, 2000).


Abstract The Total Solar Eclipse tells us… "The Earth orbital distance / Earth moon distance = the sun diameter / the moon diameter" No geometrical reason behind ! The solar planets creation theory tells us, a big star was following the sun, and exploded, from his material the solar planets were formed by the gravity … i.e. The Solar Planets were created Randomly, and so any relationship as the previous one must be found by "Pure Coincidence"! I suggest, alternative theory concerns the solar group creation…let's write it: -The solar planets were created Relating Geometrically to each other and Not Randomly. -The Matter in general is produced in pairs relating geometrically (or in some other features) and there's no any matter is found individually. -The solar group is one building, each planet is a component in this same building, that's why each planet has a geometrical relationship with one or more of other planets … -The sun is created related to the solar planets geometrically. To support my theory let's use Einstein Equation E=mc2 We consider Each Particle Mass & Energy is independent from any other Particle Mass & Energy… But let's suppose that, there's One General Energy (E), for the whole universe. So the universe will be as a puppets theater, the puppets are the masses but all of them are connected together in the General Energy i.e. Each Planet (Particle) Energy Is Created Connected To This General Energy, And So They Are Connected & Related Geometrically To Each Other…. that's what my theory suggests

Since the signature of the General Peace Agreement in 1992, when it was considered one of the poorest countries in the world, the Mozambican economy and society have changed dramatically, currently being considered one example of positive and sustainable economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although the human development index is still very low, poverty has declined from 69.4 percent in 1996-7 to 54.1 percent in 2002-3, which represents a reduction of more than 15 percentage points in 6 years. However, HIV-AIDS can be a serious threat to the achievement of the Development Millennium Goals in several areas. The economic growth also masks significant regional variations and the increase of income inequality between social levels.


A series of natural wind models have been developed since the 1960s to facilitate the study of wind engineering problems. In this paper, we present a study on wind turbulence models from the field of engineering and indicate their applicability in computer animations for simulating a variety of motions and the behaviors of flexible objects in windy conditions. We describe theoretical aspects of wind turbulence based on measurements of actual winds and their mean direction. We also describe a simple yet visually convincing simulation of wind fields using our proposed wind models generated from actual wind data. The efficiency and practical utility of the wind field model is implemented in a simulation of grass blowing in the wind.


Based on one dimensionally Newtonian-Cote's numerical integral formula,the author discussed Newtonian-Cote's multi-integral formulae and its truncated error obtained in special regions on one,two and three dimensional spaces.


A two-equation random coefficient regression model of commercial milk production is estimated using monthly observations from 1983 through June 1988 for the twenty-one major milk-producing states in the United States. Policy variables are entered into the model to represent the impact of the Milk Diversion Program (MDP) and the Dairy Termination Program (DTP). The MDP was primarily short term in impact and the DTP has been longer term. The DTP provision banning producers who exited under the program from producing for five years appears to have been ineffectual. The programs' effectiveness across states has varied considerably.


ABSTRACT Research Findings: This article summarizes current peer-reviewed research and conceptualizations of collaboration and presents a new conceptual model. Authors found that the existing peer-reviewed literature does not adequately reflect emerging understandings of the nature of early childhood collaborations or the contributions such collaborations make to outcomes. The paper fills a gap in the literature by presenting a broader conceptualization of collaboration in which stakeholders work together and use data to achieve common goals through engaging in shared activities. Authors provide examples of how collaborations take place within a network of early care and education programs. Practice or Policy: Practitioners can use information presented in this to support collaborations at different levels of an early childhood system. More research needs to be conducted to identify and measure collaborative activities and outcomes across levels of collaboration to align with a broader definition of collaboration.


Citizens are often accused of being disinterested and incapable of taking part in politics. This chapter demonstrates how deliberative mini-publics (DMPs) can be designed to address this issue, in a manner that conforms to norms of deliberative democracy. DMPs are, by design, venues that should facilitate balanced and critical deliberation among participants representing differing viewpoints. The design features of mini-publics, such as random selection and moderated small-group discussions, should thus at least to some extent correct potential biases in evidence. Mini-publics' capacity for critical scrutiny can be further strengthened by specific design features that help participants to become more reflective in their own views.


Galaxies are defined by a cumulative history of converting of gas into stars, and molecular gas (H2) is the fuel for this star formation. Because H2 cannot be observed directly, we observe the "tracer" CO and derive the H2 mass indirectly via a "conversion" factor. To move beyond global correlations and the limitations of undersampled, limited-coverage maps, this study has used the NRAO 12 m telescope and its "on-the-fly" observing mode to efficiently and reliably map cold CO emission over very large areas in five spiral galaxies. The galaxies were selected based on previous CO detections, large angular size, low inclination, and morphology to form an illustrative sample ranging from big to small, starburst to nonstarburst, and actively interacting to passively quiescent. CO was mapped in roughly regions covering the optical disks of the selected ′ ′ 15 # 15 galaxies. This experiment has the following major results: (1) We now have large-scale, fully sampled maps of CO in IC 342, M83, NGC 1097, NGC 4736, and NGC 6946 (Fig. 1). The first largescale, total neutral gas (H2 H i) surface density maps Sgas of these galaxies are now available. (2) The CO maps confirm the correlation with the optical disks in overall extent and gross morphology, although significant morphological differences exist. Interarm molecular gas is common in the sample. In the case of NGC 1097, interarm regions in the grand-design pattern,


Multiple fields of science and social life use representations of time variations for physical, chemical, biological, statistical variables. When the representation of these variables versus time is periodic, the use of the discrete Fourier transform to identify harmonics and continuous components represents an immediate solution, favored by the affordability of data acquisition and computer assistance. Research over the past two decades has highlighted some major aspects in the field of harmonic composition identification of periodic non-sinusoidal waves, such as the alternative current "alias" phenomenon, the maximum harmonic order that can be determined by discrete Fourier transform, as well as the possibility of appearance of the direct current "alias" phenomenon, i.e. on the continuous component of the analyzed wave. This work has three objectives related to the analytical identification of a periodic non-sinusoidal wave harmonics. Firstly, it is determined a system of three equations, of which a transcendent one, based on which the three unknown parameters of a harmonic are calculated: the amplitude, the order and the phase. Initial data are represented by the coordinates of three different points. The second aspect approached is represented by the harmonic analysis of a periodic non-sinusoidal wave with a finite number of harmonics and highlighting the manifestation modalities of alias phenomena. Finally, the third objective deals with the use of an odd number of samples over a period, a case so far avoided due to a small simplification in writing the computational relationships, but which may occur frequently due to the frequency variations at the fundamental level (such as in power systems).


CCA-treated wood was burned in a furnace at temperatures from 400-940 degreesC and oxygen concentrations between 5-21%. The ash and condensed volatiles were digested for total concentration of metals and subjected to leaching tests to determine the stabilized concentration of metals. Arsenic volatilization increased with increasing furnace temperature whereas the copper and chromium reported mainly to the ash product. The effect of comburant oxygen concentration was less marked. It is likely that more arsenic volatilizes at higher oxygen concentrations. However, a larger proportion of the arsenic in the ash generated at lower comburant oxygen concentrations is solubilized during leaching tests, hence the concentration of stabilized arsenic in the ash is relatively un-affected by the comburant oxygen concentration.


It is clearly established that mustard gas (H) and the corresponding sulphone (HO2) react with serum proteins to produce protein derivatives which have immunological properties different from those of the untreated proteins (Berenblum & Wormall, 1939). There is also evidence that certain glycolytic processes are inhibited by H and HO2 (Berenblum, Kendal & Orr, 1936), and that HO2 inhibits braintissue respiration (Peters, 1936); it is not unlikely that these inhibitory effects are due to the action of H and HO2 on enzymes or on other proteins in the tissues concerned. In view of the marked vesicant action ofH and its anticarcinogenic action (Berenblum, 1929), it would be of interest to know which groups of the protein molecule react with H, and as part of an investigation of this problem, experiments have been carried out to determine whether or notH and related compounds (HO2 and divinyl sulphide) react with aminoacids under physiological conditions ofpH and temperature. Also, it was thought that any Hand HO2derivatives of amino-acids obtained in these experiments would be of considerable value in the further studies which were being made ofthe immunological properties of Hand H02-treated proteins. As far as possible, these experiments with amino-acids were carried out at pH 7-5-8-5 and at 30-40°; in a few special cases, however, more drastic treatment was applied, similar to that employed by Cashmore & McCombie (1923) and Lawson & Reid (1925) for the preparation of HO2-derivatives of glycine and phenylalanine, viz. in boiling aqueous or ethanol solution in the presence of strong alkali. A study has also been made ofthe action of divinyl sulphone on amino-acids, to run parallel with the similar investigations on proteins, and a comparison has been made ofthe relative rates ofi-eaction ofHO2 and divinyl aulphone on the amino-groups. This lastnamed investigation is of particular interest in view ofthe possibility that HO2 might undergo conversion intd divinyl sulphone before reacting with aminoand other groups of amino-acids and proteins.


We describe a powerful quasinormal mode (QNM) approach to characterizing the decay properties of quantum emitters in metal-dielectric resonator systems, including hybrid plasmonic-photonic coupled cavities as well as hyperbolic metamaterial resonators. We quantify both the radiative and non-radiative decay rates in these complex structures using these QNMs and a Green function expansion, which yields an excellent agreement with full-dipole calculations of Maxwell's equations. Using this analytical QNM theory, we can map the Purcell factor for the system over a wide range of frequencies and dipole positions. We further show that how individual QNMs of these systems contribute to the underlying physics, whether it is strong interference effects between the sub-systems, in the case of a hybrid structure, or it is a physically meaningful explanation of very low beta factor for single photon emission in the case of hyperbolic metamaterials.

Big Bang Nucleo Synthesis (BBN) is the process which has occurred during the first three minutes of the Universe, that is during the time it needed to cooled down to temperatures of the order of 109 K. The standard BBN model depends on one parameter, the baryonic density, and it is one of the proper tools to study the physics of the Universe at its earliest stage. In this paper we shall discuss the rol of BBN as a testing ground for evidences and possible limits which could be determined from cosmological analysis based on the inclusion of sterile neutrinos, the variation of the mass of the Higgs boson and the time variation of fundamental constant.

The synthesis of some new furanones starting from three γ-keto acids, β-(3,4-dimethylbenzoyl)acrylic acid, β-(2,4-dimethylbenzoyl)acrylic acid and β-(2,5-dimethylbenzoyl)acrylic acid is described. Each acid is condensed with various phenols using catalytic quantity of sulphuric acid as condensing agent to get the furanones. The structures of synthesized compounds have been elucidated by elemental analysis, spectral data and chemical reactions. Some of the synthesized compounds have been evaluated for their antimicrobial activities also.


This article describes the modeling and scaling of HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) in a medium-sized EV (electrical vehicles). The air conditioning system has a group of typical components (electric motor-compressor). To operate the compressor, an SRM (switched reluctance motor) is studied and dimensioned based on scaling techniques starting from a low-power SRM. This scaling aims to meet a set of requirements specified for an HVAC system for EV vehicles such as power and output torque. A scalable motor model is suggested with a rated current for a fixed rated voltage.


By using two catalyst systems,i.e.,magnesium methanesulfone and magnesium bromide,six kinds of number-average high ortho novoalc resins of average molecular weights were synthesized.Structure of resins was characterized by means of FTIR,13C-NMR,1H-NMR,which the ortho contents of methylene groups were 80%~90% and molecular weight in the range of 300~950g/mol.Six kinds high ortho novoalc resins of number-average molecular weight were epoxied by the means of the lower pressure evaporation,and epoxy value,characterizations of solubility,gel-time,soften points,curves of thermogravimetrics and Tg of cured high ortho novolac reisns were detected.Experiments results indicated that the epoxy value of the synthesized novolac epoxy resin was less than the value of normal novolac epoxy resin.In the condition of similar number-average molecular weight,the high temperature resistance of high ortho novolac resin is more excellent than normal novoalc epoxy resin .The high ortho novoalc epoxy resins only solubilise in the nonproton solvent.The degree of polymerization of high ortho novoalc epoxy was in the range of 1~2.


Our objectives were to validate a murine model of chronic cardiotoxicity induced by Doxorubicin (Dox) and Trastuzumab (Trast) and to test the potential cardio‐protective effect of metoprolol.


A given olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) in the olfactory epithelium chooses to express only one odorant receptor (OR) from the OR gene repertoire. OSNs expressing the same receptor project axons to the same reproducibly positioned glomerulus in the olfactory bulb. As a consequence, specific odorants evoke distinctive patterns of glomerular activation in the bulb. The human odorant receptor repertoire contains 400 genes while the zebrafish repertoire contains approximately 143 genes. Our objective is to correlate the odorant specificity of each zebrafish OR with the associated glomerulus they target in the bulb. To achieve this we are cloning ORs into an expression vector which is then transfected into Hana3A cells. OR activation is monitored via a high‐throughput luciferase reporter assay in response to a large library of approximately 850 individual and defined odorants. In our first preliminary studies we have successfully cloned three ORs (111‐7, 111‐11, and 128‐5) and have identified specific candidate odorants that activate each of them. We subsequently cloned 9 more ORs into the expression vector for further analysis and characterization of odorant activation. The heterologous expression system was found to be suitable for matching odorants to zebrafish ORs. In future studies, we will seek to determine a functional relationship between odorant‐specific responses of the odorant receptors with the target locations within the bulb of the olfactory sensory neurons that express them.


The Naval Postgraduate School has spent the last two years developing a new degree program called the Modeling, Virtual Environments and Simulation (MOVES) curriculum. That curriculum has turned into an Academic Group, a department-like structure, and a research center. We discuss the composition of that curriculum and the directions for the MOVES Research Center. Background The Naval Postgraduate School has had a successful research program in virtual environments for the last twelve years under the aegis of the NPSNET Research Group (http://www.npsnet.nps.navy.mil). Students attached to the NPSNET group have typically graduated with an MS in Computer Science, with a specialization in Computer Graphics and Visual Simulation. About two years ago, we desired to expand our course offerings in the virtual environment field, particularly with respect to human-computer interaction, physically-based modeling, and modeling and simulation. Within the confines of the defined Computer Science MS program, we found no room for expansion and decided to explore the potential for developing our own degree program. We found great sponsor interest in the development of that program and rapidly designed a new degree. The desire of the sponsors of MOVES was for students who understood applied computer visual simulation technology, and the application of quantitative analyses to human-computer interaction in visual simulation technology. We wanted to work from our successes in what we had been doing and add onto that degree program. We constructed a two year, eight quarter program that is roughly 1/2 computer science and 1/2 operations analysis and mathematics. The program looks very much like a double major with a fully packed eight quarters. We educate people in modeling, virtual environments and simulation fundamentals and their application. The MOVES program offers MS degrees in MOVES, with a Ph.D. program under development for consideration by the NPS Academic Council. Initially, we did not create a department but rather a degree program comprised of existing courses from several departments. We are now in the process of forming our own department as our student population has grown from zero to twenty-four in two years and will climb to more than seventy at the end of another two years.


Disclosed is a reformed rapid hardening acrylic-latex concrete composition, wherein a latex cover layer delays the reaction of hydration of cement and prevents ettringite which is an initial reaction material from being generated, stopping an initial intensity expression from being inhibited. The concrete composition comprises 15-20 wt% of rapid hardening cement composition whose intensity expression maintains stability for a long time when mixed with water and aggregates; 35-40 wt% of fine aggregates which pass 2.5 mm net and remain at 0.08 mm net; 30-35 wt% of thick aggregates which pass 13 mm net and remain at 2.5 mm net; 4-7 wt% of reformed acrylic-latex; 0.04-0.07 wt% of citric acid monohydrate whose purity is 99% or more as a retardant to control working time; and 3.5-5 wt% of water.


This study is based on 16 dogs in which a lesion was successfully placed in the mammillo-infundibular region of the diencephalon. Symptoms were recorded, blood chemistry studied and the brains prepared for microscopic study. Apparently normal in other respects, these animals had periodic fits which in all essential respects were identical with the characteristic epileptic fit in human. The animal would suddenly become rigid and plunge forward or fall on its side. The rigidity was followed by convulsive spasms of all voluntary muscles. The fit was further characterized by unconsciousness, dilation of pupils, frothing at the mouth, marked vasoconstriction, erection of the penis, increased heart rate, rise in temperature, frequently by micturition and occasionally defecation. The fit itself usually lasted from 1 1/2 to 3 minutes and left the animal confused and disorientated for several minutes. In some cases the fits would begin rather lightly a few hours after the operation and would occur at intervals of 40 to 60 minutes. These fits would then become more frequent and more severe until the animal passed into a continuous state of coma with convulsions occurring every few seconds and death would soon follow. At this later stage the heart rate increased to from 200 to 250, the temperature rose to 105°-110° and in 3 cases dilation of the intestines and stomach and contraction of the bladder were noted. A second group of animals had periodic fits for 1 to 3 days following the operation and then recovered. The cardiovascular disturbances, inhibition of gastro-intestinal musculature, dilation of pupils and salivation are suggestive of hypersecretion in the suprarenal glands. The thyroid and parathyroid may ble concerned with the symptoms involving the voluntary musculature. The lesion in these cases involved the substantia grisea of the third ventricle, the mammillo-infundibular nucleus, the nucleus tuberis, and frequently but to a less degree, the medial cells of the basal optic ganglion.


A utoradiographic techniques are being increasingly used to localize receptor binding sites at the microscopic level. These techniques have recently been applied to the study of neurotransmitter receptors in human postmortem material. Receptors in these tissues appear to be resistant to postmortem changes and their study is amenable to autoradiographic procedures. Receptors for many amine, amino acid and peptide neurotransmitters, as well as other related binding sites, have been visualized and mapped in human brain. In some cases the pharmacological characteristics, and~or the anatomical distribution of these sites are different from those found in rat brain. Changes in the densities of some neurotransmitter receptors have been found in the brains of patients that had suffered from a number of neurological diseases, and in patients with localized lesions or as a consequence of drug treatment. These studies, which offer an invaluable counterpart to the rapidly developing non-invasive techniques of brain imaging, are already providing important insights into human brain receptor mechanisms. During the last two decades, the development of novel neurochemical techniques and the establishment of 'brain banks' for the systematic collec- tion of tissues have considerably expanded our knowledge of the chemistry of the human brain 1. Many studies have been carried out involving biochemical analysis of prep- arations obtained from hand-dissected human brain samples. However, in an organ of the anatomical and cellular complexity of the human brain, techniques that allow microscopic resolution of cells and their components possess important advantages. With the application of techniques such as histofluorescence, immunohistochem- istry and autoradiography to nervous tissue, it is now possible to obtain microscopic resolution in the study of transmitter mechanisms 2. Radioligand binding techniques for the study of receptors and other recognition sites have been extensively applied to the analysis of these sites in human tissue 1. The development of autoradiographic methods of receptor visualization 3, particularly the in-vitro receptor auto- radiography technique of Young and Kuhar 4, now offer the possibility of visualizing and quantifying receptors within the resolution of the light microscope. Over the past few years, several laboratories have used autoradio- graphy to investigate the properties and anatomical distributions of receptors in human postmortem tissue. In this review, we examine the goals of these studies, some of the technical problems encountered in them, the main results regarding the distribution of these sites in normal (neurologically healthy) subjects, the similarities and differences between results from human post- mortem tissue and laboratory animals (mainly the rat), and results of the examination of material from patients who either died from neurological diseases or exhibited brain lesions upon autopsy. Two obvious questions one can ask in the study of receptors are 'are all receptors found in laboratory animals also present in the human brain?' and 'where are they localized?'. Once we know what the distribution of receptors in the normal human brain is, we can ask 'are receptor densities or their Iocaliza- tions changed as a result of disease or drug treatment? It would then be important to assess whether these receptor changes are primary or secon- dary to neuronal changes caused by the disease. For example, are they an expression of neuronal degeneration or distant trans-synaptic effect? If they are primary, could they have a diagnostic value? And since drug treatment and/or disease can affect receptor localization and density, this topic is of considerable practical and economic interest for anyone involved in the development of new psychotropic agents.


Nowadays,there are lots of credit deficiency caseswhich increase our transaction cost heavily in market activities. It's necessary to set up a credit system and normalize it in order to decrease transaction cost. So government should play a special role in constructing credit system under socialist market-oriented economy.


This paper compares two financial accelerator models by analyzing their respective cyclical characteristics of the external finance premium and its implications for the equity premium. We answer the question posed by Gomes, Yaron and Zhang (2003) - Can the desirable business cycle implications of financial accelerator models be reconciled with the empirically observed cyclical characteristics of the finance premium and an "amplified" equity premium? We show that the answer is yes. We thereby contradict the claim of Gomes et al and note that their result is not general. We constrast the result of Gomes et al with a different financial accelerator model by Bernanke, Gertler and Gilchrist (2000). In that model two key assumptions are different and the asset pricing results are in line with the facts. The two key assumptions are (i) firms have self-financing (leverage) ratios that are sensitive to changes in capital prices and (ii) a broad group of firms are potentially credit constrained.


In this article, the interaction between two types of forces, causing instability of a vertically cantilevered column, is studied. These forces are the conservative force of the column's own weight, and a nonconservative distributed follower force. The effect of the weight on the flutter instability of the column, and of the follower force on its buckling instability, are examined. It is shown that: (1) the inclusion of the column's weight lowers the flutter load; (2) it is possible to destabilize certain columns, ordinarily stable under their own weights, by the addition of sufficiently large tensile followers; (3) it is possible to stabilize a column, ordinarily unstable under its own weight, by the addition of sufficiently large compressive followers.


The main factors of influencing Sinocalamus affinis enzyme hydrolysis were investigated,which mainly include pH,reaction temperature,the solid-liquid ratio,the content of enzyme,the reaction time,the beating degree and the content of Tween 80.Besides,the hydrolysis mechanism of Tween 80 was also studied in this paper.The results show that the hydrolysis yield of 13°SR pulp is 82.39% at the conditions of pH 4.8,reaction temperature 45℃,substrate concentration 28.6g/L,enzyme content 25FPU/g,Tween 80 1mg/g and reaction time 52h.The content of Tween 80 can not only affect the activity of the enzyme,but also affect the adsorption and increase the free enzyme.


High capacity of new magnetic material can be exploited only with a fine servo-positioning of the hard disk heads. This can be achieved by means of dual stage actuation, where the secondary actuator can be realized with different technologies. In this paper, the use of the LQG/LTR approach for the design of the controller for Hard Disk Drive with a piezoelectric secondary actuator is investigated. In particular, the case of absence of secondary actuator position sensing is addressed. An experimental platform for testing the developed control algorithms is presently under construction, and it has been employed to tune an accurate non-linear model of the hard disk drive with dual stage actuator. The controller performance is then evaluated by means of simulations on such model.


Abstract Thripadectes, a little studied genus in Funariidae has thorough nest descriptions for five of its seven species, most consisting of one or two nests. Although the nest of Thripadectes holostictus has been described, it is based only on two nests, and there is no nest description for the subspecies, T. h. moderatus, which we report in this study. Between October and December 2011, we monitored four nests of T. h. moderatus in Manu National Park, Peru. In addition to reporting the first nest for the subspecies T. h. moderatus, we provide new information for T. holostictus, including incubation period (between 13–17 days), fledgling period (20–23 days), fresh egg weights (x ¯ ± SE  =  5.8 ± 0.1 g), nestling growth patterns, further evidence for biparental care, and new observations on nest materials.


We study a combination of two-level electromagnetically induced transparency and dark states, and show that desirable features of both phenomena can be obtained in a single system. In particular, large self-phase modulation can be produced without pump or probe absorption, and without spontaneous-emission noise. We point out possible application of our system as a source for squeezed light.

The alternatives The two most common customer service systems are e-mail management systems and those that provide live interaction with customer service representatives on the Web. Both are intended to make it easier and faster for consumers and customer service representatives to interact over the Internet. These systems are equivalent o existing call center management systems. Both require 100% human intervention.


Abstract While there is a general agreement on the effectiveness of fiscal stimulus, there is no consensus on which stimulus is better. To address this concern, this paper uses a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model to propose a fiscal stimulus that Botswana can adopt given the slowing mining productivity. The results suggest that short-run macroeconomic stabilisation can be achieved through a cut in labour taxes. This fiscal stimulus generates larger growth multipliers and contributes relatively more employment compared to a cut in consumption tax and increases in government spending. The findings also revealed that a cut in labour taxes improves trade balance, resulting in a greater accumulation of international reserves and has no Dutch disease effects. These results suggest the need for a labour tax policy reform. These results also offer some policy options for other developing countries, which may face similar fiscal risks in future.


It is essential to use individually parameterized models for the knee joint as well as for the patellofemoral joint while analyzing the correlations between external and internal loads
and the efficiency of specific training exercises for the lower extremities. A new approach to estimate the moving joint axis within the knee joint using motion analysis data was evaluated. The results of this single case study show that this approach might offer a possibility to parameterize an individualized knee joint model without using MRI scans.


Numerical simulations of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure, rigidly supporting a tuned liquid damper (TLD) and subjected to both real and artificially generated earthquake ground motions, show that a properly designed TLD can significantly reduce the structure's response to these motions. The TLD is a rigid, rectangular tank with shallow water in it. Its fundamental linear sloshing frequency is tuned to the structure's natural frequency. The TLD is more effective in reducing structural response as the ground excitation level increases. This is because it then dissipates more energy due to sloshing and wave breaking. A larger water-depth to tank-length ratio than previous studies suggested, which still falls within the constraint of shallow water theory, is shown to be more suitable for excitation levels expected in strong earthquake motions. A larger water-mass to structure-mass ratio is shown to be required for a TLD to remain equally effective as structural damping increases. Furthermore, the reduction in response is seen to be fairly insensitive to the bandwidth of the ground motion but is dependent on the structure's natural frequency relative to the significant ground frequencies. Finally, a practical approach is suggested for the design of a TLD to control earthquake response. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.


Male song reflects the quality of the singer in many animals and plays a role in female choice of social and copulation partners. Eavesdropping on male-male vocal interactions is a means by which females can compare different males' singing behavior directly and make immediate comparisons between


A biometric system which relies only on a single biometric identifier in making a personal identification is often not able to meet the desired performance requirements. Dual modal has great demands to overcome the issue involved in single biometric identifier. The use of personal identity verification systems with a serial architecture dual-modal biometrics has been proposed using fingerprint and iris pattern in order to increase the performance and security against environmental variations and fraudulent. The dual modal system is based on an empirical analysis of the fingerprint and iris images and it is split in several steps using local image properties. The fingerprint Minutiae extraction steps are loading the finger image, enhancement by histogram equalization and Fourier transform, binarization, segmentation by block direction estimation and region of interest extraction by morphological operations, remove H-break, remove spur, extract minutia and remove false minutia. At the same time, the iris system steps are capturing iris patterns, determine the location of the iris boundaries, converting the iris boundary to the stretched polar coordinate system, extracting the iris code. The dual modal system is achieved at the fingerprint matching score level less than 75%. The implementation of methods, algorithms and the graphical user interface was done by using MATLAB and CASIA database of 11 samples of fingerprint and iris data. Statistical Experimental used in this project on a small sample size, which is very difficult to conduct a full analysis of the observed results and consider as a main limitation of dual modal system. Future work can be done by performing the statistical experiments on a larger sample size, and conduct a full analysis of the observed results.

Aim: This study was conducted to investigate nurses' exposure to mobbing, its effects on job satisfaction and job quitting. Methods: This descriptive study was done in a university hospital with 446 nurses who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected through questionnaire including questions related with demographic characteristics of the nurses, and through the scales of job satisfaction and tendency to quit job. Results: It was found that 31.8% of the nurses were exposed to mobbing. Those who work as clinic nurses in intensive care units, and those who have served for 5-9 years, suffered greater mobbing. The majority of the nurses stated that mobbing has been inflicted by their administrators. It was found that job satisfaction of the nurses who have been victims of mobbing was low and their tendency to quit job was high. Of the nurses 61.9% stated that mobbing negatively affected their healthand that they experienced mostly discomfort, tension, fatigue, headache, sleep disturbances. Conclusion: It was determined that mobbing negatively affected nurses' health, not only reducing their job satisfaction but also increasing their tendency to quit their jobs.


1km and 5km gridded Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) data for Great Britain, which is a drought index based on the probability of Climatic Water Balance (CWB) - which is equivalent to the amount of precipitation minus the amount of evapotranspiration - for a given accumulation period as defined by Vicente Serrano et al. (2010). SPEI is calculated for different accumulation periods: 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months. Each of these is in turn calculated for each of the twelve calendar months. Note that values in monthly (and for longer accumulation periods also annual) time series of the data therefore are likely to be autocorrelated. The standard period which was used to fit the generalised logistic distribution is 1961-2010. The dataset covers the period from 1961 to 2012.


THE increasing attention given to the excretion of steroid substances in health and disease justifies the elaboration of analytical methods which will distinguish the various types of substances found in urine. Among the urinary steroids are biologically active estrogens, androgens and cortins. In addition there are physiologically inactive substances which in some cases are a more reliable index of hormone secretion than is the biologic activity found in urine. The present paper summarizes attempts to develop microchemical methods suitable for rapid, routine use, which permit segregation of the principal types of steroids and their quantitative determination. In Table I are listed the identified steroid substances present in the urine of normal men and non-pregnant women (30). Dobriner et al. (7) have isolated small amounts of four crystalline ketonic steroids which they find regularly in normal human urines after acid hydrolysis. All except cortin are ordinarily obtained from acid-hydrolized urine. The ...

The American National Standard Methods for Measuring the Real-Ear Attenuation of Hearing Protectors (ANSI S12.6-2008) requires a Bekesy procedure for testing occluded and unoccluded thresholds. Since 2002, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has used the custom-designed HPDLab software operating Tucker-Davis Technologies System 3 hardware. ViAcoustics, Nelson Acoustics, NASA, and NIOSH researchers recently developed REATMaster which runs on National Instruments hardware in the LabVIEW environment. Ten subjects were trained by the experimenter on how to fit a passive earmuff and were qualified according to the requirements of ANSI S12.6-2008. The laboratory was configured such that diffuse sound field thresholds were tested with either the HPDLab or REATmaster hardware by flipping a toggle switch. The earmuff was not touched or re-positioned between test trials with the two different hardware/software systems. The test sequence for the order of open and occluded measurements w...


Since the advent of the 4th industrial revaluation, promising visions and development plan across the world have been taken. This, in turn, stimulating the demand for sustainable development that strives to transform the country from conventional practices to what we call the digital and sustainable age. Recently the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has launched an ambitious vision (2030) to transform the country from traditional land to a sustainable and environmentally responsible country. Various projects related to E-government; E-commerce; E-health systems and automation in construction have been proposed to come into this new era of development and prosperity. More specifically, a great deal, by decision makers, is paid to create and adopt a Sustainable and Smart City (SSC) model. However, the unique characteristics of Saudi Arabia socio-cultural and environmental aspects are significant obstacles to duplicate international models as well as there is a lack of adequate and related studies in this domain. Further, the Internet of Things (IoT) concept would be a modern concept to be used in supporting the technological infrastructure of SSCs. Therefore, this paper sheds light on the current state of Saudi Arabia, and to explore opportunities and challenges towards the creation of sufficient SSC for Saudi context. The main outcomes of paper can be summaries as follows:(a) evaluating public willingness regarding SSC movements, (b)providing a decision maker with a robust framework of SSCSA, and (c) a holistic IoT architecture for SSC Adoption and implementation.


Abstract During two visits to Guatemala in 1974 and 1975 observations were made on the fauna in Eichhomia growth of the small lake "Laguna Chichoj";. Chemical and physical data and faunistic finds are reported. Particular attention was paid to the water mite Arrenurus (Arrenurus) valencius MARSHALL, 1919. Adults of this species occur commonly in the Eichhornia growth. The larvae parasitize adult Ischnura ramburi credula (Zygoptera, Odonata). This fits the known pattern according to which nearly all species of the subgenus Arrenurus are parasites of dragonflies belonging to both the Zygoptera as well as Anisoptera (Munchberg 1935, Mitchell 1959, Bottger 1965, Cassagne‐Mejean 1966, Cook 1974, Stechmann 1977). Also the first mentions in the literature on tropical species of the subgenus Arrenurus pointed to Odonata as specific hosts (Munchberg 1958, 1959, 1960). Ischnura ramburi credula is quite abundant in Eichhornia growth. Both sexes are infested by water mites, the males carrying a maximum of 111, the fe...


Implants were placed after performing ridge expansion by inserting screws of gradually increasing thickness. Favorable clinical outcome was obtained. During surgery, buccal cortical plate fracture did not occur. Autogenous tooth bone graft material was grafted around the implant dehiscence defects and over the buccal cortical plate. The method involving the insertion of screws for ridge expansion is a successful and predictable technique for implant placement in narrow alveolar bone. Autogenous tooth bone graft material can be used for ridge augmentation and GBR.


to wards 16, 27, and 30, from the 1st of February till the 1st August, 1862. This period of six months gives a fair idea of the average amount of surgical practice which is witnessed in our noble hospital; and I bring these statistics forward at this season when the merits of the various medical schools are being canvassed, to show that with ordinary care in observation, the student can be at no loss to acquire an extensive knowledge of practical surgery. When it is remembered that there are three other surgeons, each in charge of three wards, who receive patients in rotation, it will at once be seen that the field of observation presented in the Glasgow Infirmary is equalled in few other hospitals. I have excluded from the table all the minor operations, as catheterism, amputations of fingers and toes, and partial of hand; as also dis-


The paper analyses Art. 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its implications for the position of persons with mental disabilities. The new concept of legal capacity contained in Art. 12 should ensure that fundamental human rights of these persons are no longer "a dead letter on paper". However, once the Convention came into force, the implementation of this provision has proved to be problematic for States Parties. Diane Kingston, former Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, best expressed the scale of the problem in October 2015 when she emphasized that no country had until that point fully met the requirements contained in Art.
12. Given that the Convention is a document that prescribes the fundamental human rights, the statement that no national legislation is consistent with its key provision is confusing and worrying. Therefore, a special attention should be paid to Art. 12 and its implementation in practice


In this paper I discuss the advantages of using parallel data in linguistic research and demonstrate preliminary results of the study devoted to passives with agent phrase. For the study I used a parallel corpus of texts in nine European languages, the data set contained 983 fully aligned translation units. In my experiment I aimed to check whether the distribution of passives with agent phrase and related constructions used in translations depends on the semantic role of the participant that corresponds to the oblique argument of the passive.


In this study, a deep learning method was used to detect sleep states of the drivers in the driving environment. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model has been proposed to determine whether the eyes of certain constant face images of drivers are closed. The proposed model has a wide potential application area such as humancomputer interface design, facial expression recognition, driver fatigue-sleepiness determination. This method, which was developed on driver sleepiness data, has been applied on 4,846 real eye images in the Closed Eyes In The Wild (CEW) database. Commonly used CNN models are used on the same data to compare performances of the prepared model. According to the classification results obtained, 96.5% and 92.99% of the designed model achieved success and it is seen that this structure can be used in this problem area.


Abstract Modified versions of the Euler midpoint formula are given for functions whose derivatives are either functions of bounded variation, Lipschitzian functions or functions in Lp-spaces. The results are applied to quadrature formulae.


The essence of science is to cognize the nature, with its aim to benefit human beings, and its state to seek beauty. Science seeks the unity of truth, the virtuousness and beauty, which is also the ultimate goal for human civilization. With social development and progress, science will inevitably reach a realm of truth, virtuousness and beauty.


Ti/Mg laminates, with an interlocking structure, which is characterized by prefabricated holes, are prepared by direct hot pressing. Reasonable process parameters including temperature, reduction, and interval between prefabricated holes are established. The reasonable temperature range is 350−400 °C, and reduction should be at least 47% at 375 °C. While filling single holes, shearing zones composed of fine‐grained bands form throughout the magnesium layer. Their formation can be divided into three stages including the refinement of original coarse grains, preferential recrystallization of the local area, and expansion of fine‐grained bands. Coarse grains that remain in the fine‐grained band do not fully recrystallize due to the activation of the single slip system. The filling process of adjacent holes is mutually affected. A lamellar heterogeneous structure forms in the magnesium layer, composed of coarse‐grained layers at the top and the bottom and fine‐grained layer in the middle. The Fine‐grained layer is more homogeneous in microstructure, when the interval reaches 9 mm, indicating that the optimum interval is 9 mm. Ti/Mg laminates with multiholes are acquired and a swallow‐tailed interlock structure is formed. The fracture load reaches 2.12 kN with prefabricated holes, which is 16.5% higher than that without prefabricated holes.


Background/Objectives: Atmospheric visibility is predominantly affected by aerosols and it is improved by reducing the effects of concentration of smog and haze. The model is developed suitably to study the effects of smog and haze through the concentration of aerosols in the presence and absence of chemical reactions. Methods: The atmospheric fluid in the inclined channel flow is assumed to be incompressible, laminar, and presented through the solution of Navier Stokes equation for velocity and advectiondiffusion equation for the concentration of aerosols. The governing equations of the study are attained as two-dimensional partial differential equations and are solved using the perturbation technique with appropriate boundary conditions. The solution leads to detailed graphs for velocity components and concentration of aerosols. Findings: This study examined the effects of concentration of smog and haze semi analytically in a two-dimensional channel bounded by porous beds together with the effects of the electric and magnetic field. The derived results are depicted graphically for different parameters. The obtained results of concentration clearly show that there is no considerable influence of porous, gravity and magnetic field effect in reducing smog and haze concentration, whereas the increasing electric field reduces the haze concentration.

This chapter explores the rise of the concept of Gibridnaya Voyna, the Russian counterpart of Hybrid Warfare. By analyzing the works of Russian scholars, strategists and military thinkers, this chapter shows that the only common ground between Frank Hoffman's theory of hybrid warfare and gibridnaya voyna is the name. The chapter traces how and why the focus of Russian scholars and strategists has not been based on a 'blind' adaptation of the Western theory, but an attempt to reconceptualize it within the context of the Russian political–military experience and the Russian theoretical understanding of the phenomenon of war. In other words, while Hoffman's theory of hybrid warfare argues for the amalgamation of regular and irregular forces and incorporates mixed operational and tactical methods, the concept of gibridnaya voyna emphasizes a more abstract battlefield, on which actors fight to erode their adversaries' socio-cultural cohesion and protect their own.


Complete mineralization of 50 µM of pentachlorophenol (PCP) was achieved anaerobically under continuous flow conditions using two columns connected in series with a hydraulic retention time of 14.2 days, showing the highest reported mineralization rate yet of 3.5 µM day−1. The first column, when injected with a reductive PCP dechlorinating consortium, dechlorinated PCP to mainly phenol and traces of 3‐chlorophenol (3‐CP) using lactate supplied continuously as an electron donor. The second column, with an anaerobic phenol degrading consortium, decomposed phenol and 3‐CP under iron‐reducing conditions with substantial fermentative degradation of organic compounds. When 20 mM of lactate was introduced into the first column, the phenol degradation activity of the second column was lost in a short period of time, because the amorphous Fe(III) oxide (FeOOH) that had been packed in the column before use was depleted by lactate metabolites, such as acetate and propionate, flowing into the second column from the first column. The complete mineralization of PCP was maintained for a long period by reducing the lactate concentration to 4 mM, effectively extending the longevity of second‐column activity with no depletion of FeOOH for more than 200 pore volumes (corresponding to 3,000 days). The carbon balance showed that 50 µM PCP and 4 mM lactate in the influent had transformed to CO2 (81%) and CH4 (3%) and had contributed to biomass growth (8%). A comparison of the microbial consortia introduced into the columns and those flowing out from the columns suggested that the introduced population did not flow out during the experiments, although the microbial composition of the phenol column was considered to be affected by the inflow of microbes from the PCP dechlorination column. These results suggest that a sequential combination of reductive dechlorinating and anaerobic oxidizing consortia is useful for anaerobic remediation of chlorinated aromatic compounds in a microbial permeable reactive barrier.

Present study aimed to evaluate field fertility rate and calf sex ratio of Nili Ravi buffalo semen sexed through modified swim-up method (Husna et al., 2017). For this purpose, five mature Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls kept at semen production unit, Qadirabad, Pakistan, were selected. Two consecutive ejaculates per week were collected with artificial vaginą for three weeks. Qualified semen ejaculates were pooled and divided into two aliquots. The first aliquot was processed by routine procedure (control), while the second was processed by modified swim-up technique. After separation, semen was diluted in tris-citric acid extender and cryopreserved using standard techniques. Sexed semen was evaluated for fertility trials during peak breeding season. Artificially inseminated animals were examined for pregnancy rate through rectal palpation at least 3 months after insemination under field conditions. Calving ratio of female and male calves were recoded after Parturition. The fertility rate was higher (P<0.05) in X sorted sperm (70%) as compared to control (47%). The female calf ratio was higher (P<0.05) in X sorted sperm (78.58%) compared to control (53.3%). In Conclusion, conception rate and production of female calf was significantly higher with sexed semen separated through modified swim-up method compared to unsexed control.


The 2012 edition of the IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS) was a significant event in the history of the real-time and embedded systems community. As part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week, it was located in Beijing, China, coming back to Asia after 11 years and benefitting from the growing interest of the Chinese and Asian research communities. RTAS has always been a premier conference on applications, case studies, methodolo-gies, tools, and applied algorithms that contribute to the state of practice in the broad field of embedded and real-time systems. In 2012, the identity of the conference was defined in very clear terms as an applications and systems conference, requesting that all submissions provide convincing proof of strong application motivation, applicability, and experiments or case studies applied to real-world examples. The emphasis on applications and systems was not only needed to restore a clear identity to the conference, but also to provide a better match for the growing needs of the embedded and real-time industry and foster an exchange of ideas, models, algorithms, and case studies between academia and the industry. Embedded systems are pervasive in today's society, and everyone can witness the increasing number of intelligent functions in everyday devices. What is less evident is the number of problems faced by the industry in coping with the increasing complexity of embedded functionality. The need for more content and new intelligent functions is openly a mismatch with the request for a reduced time-to-market, more robustness, and future extensibility. Embedded systems are required to perform tasks that are mission-or safety-critical. The use of models and analysis methods to specify the functional contents of the system, its execution platform, and the timing, energy, and reliability constraints on the implementation is needed to reduce the productivity gap and improve the quality, correctness, and modularity of embedded subsystems and systems. Research work tries to define the range of properties that can be analyzed and demonstrated as correct, providing methods and tools to this purpose. Time properties are an important subset, since they apply to the majority of complex and distributed systems in the automotive, avionics, and controls domains. This special issue collects contributions on different topics, including the analysis of the worst-case execution time of embedded code on single and multicore platforms, scheduling and analysis techniques targeted to thermal-resilient systems, innovative architectures (including OS and resource managers), system optimization, and real-time …


Flexible syntheses of sphingosine and ceramide were achieved by using D-xylose as the chiral pool and a CuCN-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction of a dimesylate 8 for chain elongation with concomitant control of an E configuration of the double bond.


In spite of the available resources provided by modern IDEs, program understanding remains as a very difficult and important task in software engineering. This paper presents a software visualization environment named SourceMiner. Implemented as an Eclipse plug-in to enhance software comprehension activities, SourceMiner is an extensible, interactive and coordinated multi-perspective environment. It is multi-perspective because it provides sets of views that allow programmers to look at the software from different points of view. It is coordinated because views are linked to each other, and consistently respond to the actions executed by the programmers on the environment. It is interactive in the sense that programmers can dynamically configure visual scenarios to better support the building of mental models. It is extensible because its architecture was designed to facilitate the inclusion of new views to the environment. This paper describes the principles behind the design of SourceMiner, and discusses how it has been used to support software comprehension activities such as the identification of code smells and the characterization of object-oriented software systems.


Setback irregularities are considered where discontinuity between adjacent stories is excessive. This irregularity caused the probability of high damage at structures subjected to strong earthquake motion. For this purpose, this study was conducted by modeling the steel special moment frame (SMF) structures using a finite element calculation program with nonlinear static analysis compared to Padang city's response spectrum. The buildings are also modeled with two types of setbacks: single and multiple setbacks. The results of this paper are discussed including the explanation of many parameters that relate to elastic and inelastic seismic responses of steel special moment frame (SMF). Based on the results, the setback irregularities, both single and multiple setbacks, the inelastic seismic responses are adequately sufficient to SNI 1726 2019 regarding drift limit. The other seismic responses are also discussed in terms of fundamental periods, inter-story drifts, story stiffness, and base shear. Referred to Indonesian Seismic Provision, SNI 1726 2019, it is found that single setback building has more adequate than multiple setbacks in terms of seismic responses. Then, the seismic assessments between these setbacks are explained to address the recommendations about future prevention toward damages and failures in steel buildings.


Linearity errors of a weighted-capacitor ADC have been corrected, using a simple digital algorithm. A CMOS comparator which resolves 50μV in 500ns, allows this approach to yield a 12b accurate conversion in 22us. Chip area is under 7mm2.


Modern developments in animal breeding in combination with advanced understanding of molecular genetics proceeded in the end of the 20th century. Most genetic gain was achieved in production traits with high/moderate heritabilities. All known selection strategies are limited for traits with low heritabilities or carcass traits. Therefore new developments as genomic selection, using direct genetic information, are of great interest in animal breeding. Goal of this study was to estimate genomic breeding values for individuals, based on the framework of a pig population. Methods used were a BLUP and a resampling approach. Different parameters were tested, different population sizes, heritabilities, selection strategies and haplotypes. The accuracy of genomic breeding values and BLUP breeding values were compared. A population of 300 animals was simulated. This population size has been kept constant for the first 15 generations. In generation 15 the number of animals was increased because of the higher number of offspring (10) per parents. This number (1500) was kept constant for the following generations. A subsample of 300 animals was drawn randomly from generation 16. These animals were used to estimate first marker/haplotype effects. The simulation for all animals based on one chromosome with a length of one morgan containing 100 SNP s, which were randomly spread over the whole sample. A total of 12 SNP s were randomly chosen to become QTL s, whose alleles defined the true breeding value of each animal. Additionally a phenotypic value for each animal was simulated. Based on the data of these 300 animals the haplotype/marker effects were estimated to obtain genomic breeding values for each animal. Results were:


Recently, there has been increasing demand for quiet motors, and the same trend has been observed in the case of induction motors. In induction motors, electromagnetic noise is sometimes the predominant acoustic noise. In small motors, the major cause of vibration and noise is electromagnetic forces resulting from the combination of harmonic fluxes in the air gap. In this study, the spatial distribution of fundamental and harmonic time electromagnetic forces was studied by using search coils, by performing FEM analysis, and by using conventional equations. In a four-pole 2.2kW motor, harmonic electromagnetic forces were measured using 36 search coils on the inner surface of the stator teeth, and the spatial distribution of electromagnetic forces was obtained at each time harmonic frequency. Spatial distribution was also analyzed by FEM, and the results were analytically validated by using conventional equations. On the basis of these analyses, the spatial distribution of electromagnetic forces for various time harmonics was confirmed. These results can be used in the design and development of quiet motors.

Single-axis ultrasonic anemometers are the modern instruments for accurate wind speed measurements. Despite their widespread and ever increasing applications, little attention has been paid up to now to spinning ultrasonic anemometers that can accurately measure both the wind speed and its direction in a single and robust apparatus. In this study, intensive wind-tunnel tests were conducted on a spinning single-axis ultrasonic anemometer to investigate the yaw misalignment in ultrasonic wind speed measurements during the yaw rotation. The anemometer was rotating inside the test section with various angular velocities, and the experiments were performed at several combinations of wind speed and anemometer angular velocity. The instantaneous angular position of the ultrasonic signal path with wind direction was measured using an angular position sensor. For a spinning anemometer, the circulatory wake and the associated flow distortion, along with the Doppler effect, impart a phase shift in the signals measured by the anemometer, which should be added to the position data for correcting the yaw misalignment. In this paper, the experimental data are used to construct a theoretical model, based on a response surface method, to correct the phase shift for various wind speeds and anemometer rotational velocities. This model is shown to successfully correct the velocity indicated by the spinning anemometer for the phase shift due to the rotation, and can easily be used in the calibration process for such anemometers.


The need of the hour has emerged to migrate from Surrogated Economic Zone (SEZ) to Special Economic Zone (SEZ). More than a decade, India was implementing the SEZ policy with lot of expected results. Unfortunately, limited success only achieved because, till date India acts as a surrogate mother for the foreign investors in order to gain the net earnings. The need for this review article is to get a successful nomination of new entrants to gear up the performance of SEZ as it is the growth engine for the Indian Economy. Retaining the routine idea of promoting foreign investment, now it is the time to add and enforce the implementation of 'Make in India' movement to revamp the Special Economic Zones. In this article, purpose of SEZ policy are analyzed in the introductory chapter, Review of literatures listed in the second chapter, Need of Make in India movement for India are discussed in the third chapter, current status of SEZ in India are depicted in the fourth chapter and the road map of SEZ for 2022 are portrayed in the concluding chapter.
