Abstract In the past, financial statements of listed companies reported all used PDF or Word forms and uploaded by using ASCII or HTML. It's always a double burden for corporation, investment corporation use these financial information for analysis. User must download one by one manually and then the required fields information to enter or paste the copy into other software in order to analyze and compare to all the various listed companies financial information. It will be very cumbersome and time consuming. And the most of all is that this traditional way could be full of mistakes. In this research, these problems will be analyzed by Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), and focus on their background information, such time, the company name, related subjects, reporting units, those information will be list by accounting standards, all the relevant numbers and figures will all have a complete background information that could reassemble and present in many different ways. It will be an extremely valuable move to transform these important business information. recommend and introduce these advantage to responsible key-man in the company. feedback the after-interview information to these already be introduced corporation and share the un-confidential using ways or facing issues to stimulate the working efficiency.


This paper summarizes the results of a study which assessed the potential of the hydrogen-fluoride (HF) chemical laser as a laser-fusion driver. The evaluation was made by designing a laser system in sufficient detail that potential problems could be identified. A summary of the laser design including amplifier parameters, electron-beam accelerator specifications, gas-handling system, pulse shape considerations, and net efficiency calculations is presented here. The final laser design consists of 20, 100 kJ final amplifiers, which combine to yield a 2 MJ laser output. The energy is delivered in a shaped pulse in which one-half of the energy is delivered in the last 3 ns. The pulse rate is 4 pulses per second and the net efficiency is approximately 3 percent. Consideration is also given to the consequences of varying certain laser parameters. The general conclusion obtained from this study is that the HF laser is an attractive laser candidate for laser-fusion applications.


The activities of the budget institution are directly related to the society and each successful step is aimed at the development of the country. An effective system of internal control is the main lever for managing and minimizing the
risks in budgetary institutions. That is why the study and elimination of problems and shortcomings related to internal control will functionally strengthen this system, which will have a positive impact on the efficiency of the functioning of budgetary
institutions. The results of the research work and the recommendations developed based on it, will help budget institutions to improve the internal control system and, consequently, to manage risks. Resources in the public sector are created based on public money and therefore should be used in the public interest.
That is why it is very important in the public sector to control the acquisition, use and protect the existing resources, which is regulated by the internal control system.
The article deals with the issues of an effective internal control system and its quality assurance in Georgia. The paper discusses the importance of the internal control system and its components, the role, and importance of quality assurance of
the internal control system about the identified problematic issues. The role and benefits of internal audit as an integral part of the internal control system are evaluated and analyzed on the example of the Georgian budget institution. Based on the conducted research and analysis, relevant conclusions have been made and problematic issues related to the internal control systems in the budget sector of Georgia have been assessed.


This paper deals with a roller conveyor which forms a part of the separating machine for hops harvested from low trellises. One of the parameters that influences the correct operation of this conveyor is tested, namely the gap between the rollers. The aim of the test was to discover whether the fact that hop matter falls through the rollers depends on the size of the gap between the rollers. For testing purposes a model of the roller conveyor was designed, made, and subsequently tested in a series of experiments with the purpose of integrating it into a separating machine. The measurements were carried out using a sample of hop matter harvested from low trellises. The dependency of falling matter upon the gaps was determined in view of eight gaps between the rollers. The measurements revealed that the gap size has an influence on the falling of hop cones and small-sized admixtures only if the gap size is larger than the size of the hop cones. At the same time, this parameter has no substantial influence on the separation of medium- length and long stems which were separated perfectly.


The task of finding a good solution for an image processing problem is often very complex. It usually depends on the knowledge, experience and intuition of an image processing specialist. This complexity has served as a motivation for some research groups to create techniques for automatically designing image operators based on a collection of input and output examples of a desired operator. The multiresolution approach [1] has been succesfully used to statistically design W-operators for large windows. However, the success of this method directly depends on the adequate choice of a pyramidal window structure, which is used to aid in the estimation of the conditional probability distributions for patterns that do not appear in the training set. The choice is made by the designer, based on his intuition and previous knowledge of the problem domain. In this work, we investigate the use of the conditional entropy criterion for automatically determining a good pyramid. In order to compute the entropy, we have developed a technique that uses the multiresolution pyramidal framework as a model in the estimation of the joint probability distribution. The performance of the method is evaluated on the problem of handwritten digits recognition. Two different databases are used, with good practical results. Another important contribution of this work is the experimentation with resolution mappings from image pyramids theory in the context of multiresolution W-operator design.


We show that the two coproducts of a Markov $L$-coalgebra yield at least two solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and thus at least two representations of braid groups.


The Intor Workshop convened the efforts of the international fusion community to define the objectives and characteristics of the next device beyond the next generation of large tokamaks in the world tokamak programme to operate about 1990 and to assess the technical and scientific feasibility of that device. Specifically, programmatic and technical objectives were defined, the plasma physics and technical data bases were assessed, the major R and D needs were identified, and the physical parameters of a device that would be consistent with the objectives and the data base assessment were suggested.


Abstract In this note, we study deformations of discrete and Zariski dense subgroups of in the isometry group of quaternionic hyperbolic space. Specifically, we consider two examples coming from representations of 3-manifold groups (the figure eight knot and Whitehead links complement) and show opposite behaviors: one is not deformable outside U(2, 1), while the other has a big space of deformations in .

String theory suggests modifications of our spacetime such as extra dimensions and the existence of a mininal length scale. In models with addidional dimensions , the Planck scale can be lowered to values accessible by future colliders. Effective theories which extend beyond the standart-model by including extra dimensions and a minimal length allow computation of observables and can be used to make testable predictions. Expected effects that arise within these models are the production of gravitons and black holes. Furthermore, the Planck-length is a lower bound to the possible resolution of spacetime which might be reached soon. The standard model (SM) of particle physics yields an extremely precise theory for the electroweak and strong interaction. It allowed us to improve our view of nature in many ways but leaves us with several unsolved problems. E.g. we still have to understand the large number of free parameters in the SM, the question of the fermion families, the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, CP violation, and of course the puzzle of quantum gravity. Gravity, if it is quantized as a spin-2 field in the canonical way, is non-renormizable. The only reason why the SM yields such high accuracy without concerning gravity is that gravity is much weaker than the other interactions. The effects of quantum gravity get as important as the effects of the SM only at the so-called Planck-scale which is reached at energies near the Planck-mass of m p ≈ 10 16 TeV or at distances near the Planck-length l p ≈ 10 −20 fm, resp. This comparable weakness of the gravitational interaction, also known als the " hierarchy-problem " , is another yet unexplained fact which singles out gravity and has to be understood for achieving a successful unifying theory.


We consider stochastic differential equations on the group of volume-preserving homeomorphisms of the sphere . The diffusion part is given by the divergence-free eigenvector fields of the Laplacian acting on -vector fields, while the drift is some other divergence-free vector field. We show that the equation generates a unique flow of measure-preserving homeomorphisms when the drift has first-order Sobolev regularity, and derive a formula for the distance between two Lagrangian flows. We also compute the rotation process of two particles on the sphere when they are close to each other.


The stress concentration was the key factor responsible for the microcrack occurrence.As a further means of studying the reason why the interface delaminations occurred in the QFP structure,in this paper,the finite element program ABAQUS6.9 together with the analytical solutions of singular stress fields was used to calculate the stresses near the interface edges in the bonded bimaterials structure with the material's attributes and the structure's dimension being considered,and then the factors which affect the stress intensity factor can be found.Simulation results and analysis show that the materials' thermal expansion coefficients,elastic constants and Poisson ratio would change the stresses intensity factor's value at the interface edges.Some adjustments can be made to improve the stress state of the interface edges.Based on the determination of the KⅠ,KⅡ and λ,the potential interface delamination will be predicted.


In this study, the antimicrobial and physicochemical properties of translucent antimicrobial soap prepared using two medicinal plants, Aloe vera gel and Ziziphus jujube leaf extract   was evaluated. The results of the physicochemical analysis showed the pH (7.52±0.02), hardness(1.3 cm±0.02), solubility (0.82 g±0.02) and foamability (6.80 cm±0.03) of the prepared soap and these values were within the acceptable limit  set by WHO/SON which make the prepared soap skin-friendly. Similarly, the antimicrobial screening was carried out on selected Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as on fungi species using disc diffusion methods and the results showed varying antimicrobial activity at different concentrations ranging from 62.5-500 mg/ml. However, the susceptibility of test bacteria in terms of the zone of inhibition at 500mg/ml of the soap was observed on Staphylococcus lentus (22 mm), Staphylococcus aureus (20mm), Escherichia coli (15 mm), Raoltella ornithinolytica (12mm). The result of antifungal properties was as follows,  Candida albicans (12 mm), Trichophyton rubrum (12 mm), and Aspergillus nigar (10 mm)  at 500 mg/ml concentration. The results when compared to other antimicrobial soap in the market indicate good quality by inhibiting the growth of both Gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The antimicrobial activities exhibited by the soap in this study could be attributed to the presence of phytochemical constituents in the plant extracts, which signify the potential of the soap as an antimicrobial agent. Therefore, these findings confirmed the efficacy of Aloe vera gel and Zizipus jujube extract in traditional medicine.


The existence of plastic is useful for various kinds of packaging purposes in our activities. However, it takes around 500 years to decompose because these plastics are made from petroleum. Thus the production of plastic is in high dependency on oil stock. Due to this problem, an edible film can be an alternative packaging because it is biodegradable. Protein is the most potential biopolymer to be an edible film but still needs improvement. The enzymatic cross-linking reaction can be selected as a good method to improve protein-based edible film's mechanical properties. In this study, catfish meat (Clarias batrachus) was used as a protein source to produce an edible film through enzymatic cross-linking reaction with The Transglutaminase enzyme (TG-ase). The results of this protein-based edible film showed an improvement in thickness where TG-05 is the thickest film. The solubility decreases from 42.86 % to 20 %. Tensile Strength (TS) and Elongation at Break (EAB) results have range value from 1.630 ± 0.19-10.032 ± 1.316 MPa and 10.733 ± 0.6798-31.9 ± 6.531 %, respectively. FTIR analysis showed the change in Amide II. The biodegradable test showed that edible film could degrade in 6 days.


Amblyseius fallacis (Garman) was collected in the field from strawberry at Baton Rouge, La., and studied in the laboratory as a predator of Tetranychus spp. Its life cycle required 7.3 days at 21 °C and 3.3 days at 32°C. Virgin females did not oviposit, but the sex ratio of 2 females to 1 male resulted in fertilization of all females under laboratory conditions. Preoviposition periods of 53 and 18 hours were observed in mites held at 21 and 32°C, respectively. The optimum temperature for A. fallacis was 26.7°C. Photoperiod affected oviposition; more eggs were produced at a photoperiod of 10 hours than at 0,14, or 24 hours. Mites starved when held on bean leaves without the prey species, and no evidence of phytophagous activity or cannibalism was observed.


Let be a simple graph, where and are the vertex and edge sets of , and represent the number of vertices and edges of respectively. The degree of a vertex is defined as the number of adjacent vertices of in and is denoted as . A topological index is a real number related to a chemical constitution for correlation of a chemical structure with various physicochemical properties. Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and quantitative structure-properties relationships (QSPR) are mathematical correlation between a specified biological activity and one or more physicochemical properties, known as descriptors as they describe the activity or property under examination. Different topological indices are correlate with biological and physicochemical properties of chemical compounds. Therefore, they are useful descriptors in QSAR and QSPR that are used for predictive purposes, such as prediction of the toxicity of a chemical or the potency of a drug for future release in the market. In chemical graph theory, there are various topological indices were introduced by different researchers, among which the Zagreb indices are oldest and extremely studied vertex degree-based topological indices and were introduced by Gutman and Trinajesti in 1972 [1], to study the total -electron energy ( ) of carbon atoms. The present authors studied these indices for new operations related to different subdivision related

ELFA (Electron Laser Facility for Acceleration) has both a fundamental and a technological novel goal: i) the fundamental goal is to test with short bunches the existence of three different high-gain regimes at the heart of FEL physics: the already observed steady-state regime and the two novel regimes of cooperative synchrotron radiation, i.e., weak and strong superradiance. ii) the technological goal consists in exploring the possibilities of matching the advanced technologies of high-gain FEL's and of superconductive acceleration. The experimental apparatus - photocathode injector, accelerating structure with 352 MHz superconducting cavities, wiggler - is discussed with emphasis on the problems related to the very high current, I ≈ 400 A. Alternative normal-conducting acceleration schemes at 1.3 GHz and 425 MHz are also discussed. The applications of ELFA should range from high-gradient particle acceleration to plasma heating and condensed matter physics.


The formal researches hold that when there is financial leve rage in a company, the purpose of lowering the executive pay-performance sensitivity by the shareholders is to restrict the risk transfer motivation of the executives and reduce the debt agent costs. We believe that the purpose of this kind of reducing executive pay-performance sensitivity is more likely that the shareholders are taking advantages of the creditors who are bearing the costs of the suboptimum behaviors of the executives when the corporate performance is worse. Based on the data of China's A-share listed companies during 2007-2012, it can be found that the executive pay-performance sensitivity is negatively correlated with the level of liabilities, while the stickiness of the executive compensation is positively related to the level of liabilities, which suggest that our view is well supported. It is further found that when shareholders are taking advantages of the creditors to bear the costs of the suboptimum behaviors of the executives, they are encouraging executives to transfer risks, thus further expropriate the wealth of the creditors.

A backpropagation neural-network trained with AM1 SCF-MO derived molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs) for a set of 30 substituted imidazoles of known ionisation constant can be used to predict the pKa of imidazole under the influence of the α-helix dipole found for histidine-95 in triosephosphate isomerase; the results agree quantitatively with experimental evidence that this residue has an anomalous value such that its catalytic nature is unconventional.


Background: To search for and quantify the importance of socio-economic inequality in seat belt use in young Belgians (15–24 years old). Methods: Using the data of the National Health Survey of Belgium (1997), socio-economic indicators were constructed combining characteristics of the individual and the household to which s/he 'belongs' (equivalent household income, employment, poverty, subjective poverty, and socio-economic insecurity) and the corresponding concentration curves and indices were calculated. Results: Significant differences were found in seat belt use related to young people's socio-economic status. The failure to buckle up was concentrated most heavily in the least favoured socio-economic groups. Such inequality was a constant finding, although its magnitude varied according to the socio-economic indicator used, going from –0.142 for the variable 'occupational category of the household' to –0.028 for the variable 'poverty'. Conclusions: This finding of true socio-economic inequality in the use of seat belts by 15–24 year olds should prompt special vigilance in health promotion approaches aimed at changing behaviour. It also underlines the importance of being attentive to the socio-economic indicators that are chosen to quantify such inequality in intraand inter-country comparisons.


The maximal redundancy signed-digit (MAXSD) number system has the highest redundancy within the carry-absorbing signed-digit number system proposed by Avizienis in 1961. The digital values for radix R lie in [1-R, R-1]. Its compatibility with both standard nonredundant systems and binary arithmetic makes it an excellent choice far multiprecision arithmetic on binary machines. The representations for finite numbers are however nonunique and can even be unbounded in wordlength; this is resolved by algorithms for partial or complete conversion to standard nonredundant notation without explicit carry propagation.

A method is presented for estimating residual statics that are computed prior to normal moveout correction. No velocity information is required, and the offset and structure terms are eliminated from the decomposition. Model source (shot) records are formed using the EOM method of prestack migration to provide a one-to-one trace for cross-correlation. After cross-correlation, the estimated time shifts are decomposed directly into source and receiver statics. The method is stable for ling time windows that are input to the cross-correlation, and provides solutions for structured data where other methods fail.


Introduction To assess the incidence, clinical course, predictive factors, and prognosis of renal failure in patients with cirrhosis and gastrointestinal bleeding, 175 consecutive episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding in 161 patients were analyzed. Renal failure occurred in 20(11%) episodes and was transient in 8 episodes and nontransient in 12. Renal failure was more common in patients with cirrhosis than in a control population of bleeding patients without cirrhosis matched by age and severity of the bleeding episode. Among 39 clinical and laboratory variables obtained at admission or during hospitalization related with the bleeding episode or with liver and renal function, the presence of hypovolemic shock, number of packed red blood cells transfused, Child-Pugh class at admission, and baseline platelet count were independent predictors of renal failure. The development of renal failure and hypovolemic shock was the only independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Mortality rate among the 20 episodes with renal failure was 55% (11 deaths) as compared with only 3% (5 deaths) in the 155 episodes without renal failure (P < .01). The development of nontransient renal failure entailed a much greater mortality as compared with transient renal failure (10of 12 [83%] vs. 1 of 8 [12%]; P < .01The current study was undertaken to assess the incidence, clinical course, predictive factors, and short-termprognosis of renal failure after gastrointestinal bleeding in a large series of consecutive patients with cirrhosis seen in a specialized gastrointestinal unit of a tertiary care centre. Moreover, to investigate whether cirrhosis per se is a predisposing factor for the development of renal failure after gastrointestinal bleeding, the incidence of renal failure in patients with cirrhosis was compared with that of a group of noncirrhotic patients matched by age and intensity of the bleeding episode.


Now a days covid-19 cases has been increasing very fast and many types of variants are there due to this false information is becoming popular. So people don't know to believe which news.

IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) is a very common glomerulonephritis worldwide, especially in Asia, which is an important cause of progressive kidney disease with 25–30% of patients developing end-stage renal disease within 20 years of diagnosis. IgA nephropathy can be in different age bracket onset, but mainly in adults. The treatment of primary IgA nephropathy we mentioned in this article is only for adults. The optimal treatment for IgAN remains poorly defined. The current treatment depends on the assessment of proteinuria, blood pressure, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and pathological features, including antiproteinuric and antihypertensive therapy, corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, fish oil and tonsillectomy. Compounded by the relative lack in IgAN of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs),
there is no consensus on the use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, fish oil and tonsillectomy for treatment. The treatment of primary IgA Nephrology was reviewed from these aspects in this article.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to evaluate whether different surface modifications affect the dynamics of bone remodeling at the implant and the adjacent local bone.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Seventy-two dental implants with different surfaces (smooth and rough control [smCtrl; rCtrl], smooth and rough + O2-plasma spray [smPlas; rPlas], smooth and rough + nanocrystalline SiO2-hydroxyapatite coating [ncSiO2HA] + O2-plasma spray [smNB-C; rNB-C]; each n = 12) were bilaterally inserted into the femora of 36 New Zealand white rabbits. Intravital fluorochrome labeling was performed to visualize the dynamics of bone formation. The objectives were quantification of bone-to-implant contact (BIC [%]) at 2 and 4 weeks and the dynamic bone formation (dbf [%]) at the implants' adjacent local bone within 1, 2, and 3 weeks.

RESULTS
After 2 weeks, BIC was significantly higher for both smNB-C (BIC: 59% ± 2% SEM) and rNB-C (BIC: 66% ± 3% SEM) compared with controls (BIC: 42% ± 1% SEM; P < .005). After 4 weeks, BIC for rNB-C (65% ± 2%) was superior to all test groups (BIC: 39% ± 2% SEM; P = .012). Regarding dbf (%), neither within 1 (P = .88), 2 (P = .48), nor after 3 weeks (P = .36) did any differences occur among the groups, even in accordance to the implant level.

CONCLUSION
Although distance osteogenesis seems crucial for the development of secondary stability and thus of osseointegration, it apparently does not get affected by a bioactive ncSiO2HA surface coating. Changing the surfaces' release kinetics and composition may increase distance osteogenesis.


There has been notable uncertainty regarding the degree of solvation of alkaline-earth-metals atoms, especially Mg, in free $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ nanodroplets. We have measured the electron energy dependence of the ionization yield of picked-up atoms. There is a qualitative shape difference between the yield curves of species solvated in the middle of the droplet and species located in the surface region; this difference arises from the enhanced role played by the Penning ionization process in the latter case. The measurements demonstrate that Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba all reside at or near the droplet surface.


heathenism and our condemnation of its errors imply that we have concluded that there is truth in religion, and settled what the guiding truth is. Obviously, to the man of no faith the history of religion is the history of illusion. The result of the discussion therefore appears to be that the end-Christianity-apprehended by a sympathetic faith, gives a clue to the preceding process, while the subsequent elucidation of the stages of that process, by the means afforded by reason and history, adds meaning to Christianity, and makes its position as the perfect religion indubitable. Here as elsewhere faith is aided and completed by purely intellectual inquiry. (c) That Christian thought cannot be confined by any external limit, such as the specific N.T. declarations regarding Christ, is admitted by Kaftan (Do~;nratrk, ~ 1 I), who, while accepting the Christian Revelation as final and normative for faith, yet acknowledges that the doctrines of Christianity lead up to ' problems' for the reason. They are problems which are held to be capable of solution, and accordingly there seems to be, with a difference of phrase, a valuable recognition of one main contention of philosophical theology: reason has a distinctive work of its own to do in settling questions that are raised by faith. And here the scope and power of reason are unlimited; there is admittedly no end to the tasks that are set for it. '

0 The protean manvestations of sickle cell disease (SCD), especially, microvessel involvement in the vaso-occlusive process, is classically ascribed to the phenomena of erythrocyte sickling and enhanced red cell-endothelial adherence. Pertubations in various hemostatic systems occurs in SCD, both in steady state and during vaso-occlusion, with the intravascular generation of thrombin. The etiology(s) of thrombin generation in SCD will be described. Whether the activation of the cellular and plasmatic phases of hemostasis is causative or occurs as a result of vascular injury will be discussed. The protean manifestations of sickle cell disease (SCD) include both micro- vessel involvement as exemplified by the acute vaso-occlusive or pain crisis ( 13 and macrovascular disease that not uncommonly affects the cerebral cir- culation with catastrophic consequences C2-41. The presence of intimal hyperplasia and/or thrombus formation in other vascular beds, including the pulmonary (5-71, renal (8), and splenic arteries (9), arterioles adjacent to leg ulcers (lo), and retinal (ll) and placental vasculature (12) also has been documented. These findings have stimulated investigators, over the past two decades, to evaluate the hemostatic balance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant functions of blood, and examine the status of the vessel wall to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between hemostatic changes and vascular disease in individuals with SCD. Thus, the literature is replete with investigations demonstrating the activation of various steps in the coagulation cascade, combined with documented abnormalities in the anticoagulant systems of plasma in patients in both steady state and during vaso-occlusive crises. Additionally, activation of the circulating cellular elements of blood and of vascular endothelial cells have been recently demonstrated. This


High-Q operation of a superconducting radio frequency cavity can reduce the power loss at the surface and is desirable for continuous-wave operation. To realize the high-Q operation, the surface resistance, which is a sum of the Barden-Cooper-Schrieffer resistance and residual resistance, needs to be reduced. The residual resistance has been found to originate primarily from the magnetic flux trapping in defects in the cavity during the cooling down process. A magnetometer called the "flux gate sensor" has been used to measure the ambient magnetic field; however, this is larger in comparison with the cavity and it is very expensive. Sensors based on the magneto-resistance effect, such as the Anisotropic-Magneto-Resistance (AMR) sensor, are smaller and much less expensive than a flux gate sensor. We examined the characteristics of the magneto-resistance sensors at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature. The results are reported in this paper.


We investigate antiferromagnetic spin ladders with nonmagnetic impurities by variational and numerical [Lanczos and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG)] methods. The interaction between the two unpaired spins opposite to the impurities is described by an effective exchange interaction ${\mathrm{J}}_{\mathrm{eff}}$, the magnitude of which depends on the impurity distance. The magnitude of ${\mathrm{J}}_{\mathrm{eff}}$ is different for unpaired spins at the edges of an open ladder and in the bulk. This difference is related to the different distributions of the unpaired spin into the bulk of the ladder. The numerical results are interpreted using matrix product states. Using the DMRG we calculate the spectrum of low-lying energy levels for up to six impurities and find that these spectra can be reproduced assuming pair interactions with an accuracy of better than 10%. We discuss the filling of the ladder gap with impurity states and argue that in the thermodynamic limit the spin ladder with a finite concentration of impurities always shows a Curie susceptibility at low temperatures.


Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in every developing country contributing to the growth of the economy in many ways. The aim of this study is to identify the effect of financial management practices on performance of SMEs in Sri Lanka: Special Reference to North Central Province (NCP). Working capital management practices, Investment appraisal practices, Capital structure management practices, financial reporting & analysis practices and Accounting information system practices were identified as independent variables and Performance of SMEs was identified as the dependent variable of this study. All SMEs (nearly 2000 SMEs) operating in NCP during the year 2019 was identified as the population of this study. Out of that, 322 SMEs were selected as the sample based on disproportionate stratified random sampling method and final sample was 245 manufacturing, service and trade SMEs operating in NCP. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire distributed among SMEs functioning in NCP. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics like Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze data using the SPSS package. Results of the study revealed that there is a positive effect of financial management practices on performance of SMEs. Among financial management practices, working capital management practices and capital structure management practices have a significant positive effect on SMEs performance.

A.'s mother became concerned about him early in life. Mother reported that A. had significant delays in language acquisition. A. reportedly did not speak until age 6 years despite normal hearing and early speech and language intervention. Between ages 3 and 4 years, he was diagnosed with ASD because of verbal and nonverbal communication deficits, lack of reciprocal social behavior, odd behavior, perseveration, and restricted interests. As he entered school, significant separation anxiety occurred. Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, including inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, were noted in early elementary school. As his school adjustment worsened, mother repeatedly transferred A. to many different schools in an attempt to find an academic situation that would meet his needs. Mother became convinced that some unidentified traumatic experience at school was the reason for A.'s poor school adjustment, although there was no evidence in his history of any traumatic events. Because of mother's focus on trauma, neither psychological educational testing nor treatment for ADHD and anxiety was pursued. By fifth grade, A. began exhibiting anxiety in almost all areas of daily life. Symptoms included separation fears, generalized anxiety about mother's well-being, fears of speaking in school, and nighttime fears. Mother continued to believe that this was due to some unexplained trauma that A. had experienced. At school, A. continued to have poor adjustment with prominent symptoms of anxiety and ADHD and frequent disruptive behaviors. At home, he isolated himself in his room, watching television. He began to display inappropriate and incongruent affect, frequently laughing and talking to himself along with episodes of irritability and inappropriate display of anger. A. frequently disrupted his classroom with episodes of aggressive behavior and incongruent laughter. Psychotherapy was started, but discontinued after only several visits with the therapist because mother felt it was not helpful. A. was transferred to a special needs school, but became selectively mute in the classroom and began to refuse to attend school. An additional school psychological evaluation supported a diagnosis of ASD. At this time, mother sought child psychiatric evaluation.


The invention discloses a suction penetrating arc-shaped plate anchor, a mounting tool for the same and a construction method for the same. An anchor body of the arc-shaped plate anchor is arc-shaped, the mounting tool is a negative-pressure bucket with a bottom notch, and the arc-shaped plate anchor is covered on the bottom notch of the negative-pressure bucket and is penetrated into soil by an existing method.

The plate anchor are restrained to turn in situ into a deeper soil layer, so that bearing capacity of the plate anchor is increased, and the negative-pressure bucket penetrating depth is decreased.


Objective: To compare the performance of oxacillin disc agar diffusion(ODD) test with polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-based mecA gene to detect ORSA. Methods: In the present study, 61 isolates of S.aureus were isolated and were discriminated by the University Children's Hospital laboratory team, from different sources after collecting them from ill children aged from one day to 13 years. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to oxacillin(OXA) was conducted by disc-diffusion method. Then, mecA and PVL genes were discriminated by PCR. Results: Our study showed that 21% of isolates were resistant to OXA by ODD method, while 29.5% (18% ORSA and 11.5% OSSA) of isolates possessed mecA gene by PCR-based mecA detection. Two isolates were resistant to OXA based on ODD method, although they were lacked mecA gene. The proportion of PVL-positive isolates among OSSA was high (10%), while among ORSA was 5%. Conclusion: Use of ODD and PCR-based mecA detection methods together provided useful information on antibiotic resistance and molecular diversity of S. aureus. There is need to reduce the spread and endemic of ORSA and PVL-positive OSSA clones in the hospital.


Urban economics is an emerging subject,especially in China,as a subject it is relative late.The 21st century is the urban century,during the process of urbanization,new phenomenon,new question emerges one after another incessantly.On this background,urban economics subject has developed very quickly in China,and we get quite a lot of achievements,which present some new characteristics.But,the theory on the construction of urban economics subject existences many questions.So,we should break through some certain important issues in the further years of research,such as on the research system of urban economics subject,the research of urbanization healthy development question,the question of city competitive power and the research of city sustainable development and so on.


In this research, by simultaneously recording the Electroencephalogram(EEG), Electrocardiogram(ECG) and brain blood pressure signals under the condition of +Gz accelerations, the correlation of EEG and heart rate, brain blood pressure was respectively studied in order to provide experimental basis for correctly understanding the relationships between global and local areas as well as among different local areas of human brain, and also to lay foundation for the EEG spectral analysis, interaction and mechanism research of EEG and related physiological signals. The results of EEG auto-correlation and symmetrical electrode cross-correlation analysis of 16 derivation for different loads were obtained, and the correlation coefficients of EEG and brain blood pressure, heart rate were calculated by designing analytical procedure of processing and analyzing the EEG data through programming. Correlation diagrams indicate that the first peak after zero lags appeared is the main peak responding to relatively stronger correlation and correlation numerical value of the first main peak is the largest and the correlation is greatly impacted by different G loads; EEG and heart rate, brain blood pressure, each frequency band of EEG and heart rate, brain blood pressure has different correlation degree separately. In this study EEG experiments are first carries out on high performance three axial human centrifuge by using a new specific acquisition and test method of EEG and related physiological signals and correlation research of EEG and heart rate, brain blood pressure under +Gz accelerations is first proposed. The conclusion can be drawn that EEG correlation under +Gz accelerations is gradually decreased with time lag increasing, greatly affected by G loads and correlation degree of EEG and brain blood pressure is greater than that of EEG and heart rate.


Phase I outliers, unless screened during process parameter estimation, are known to deteriorate Phase II performance of process control charts. Reweighting estimators, ie, trimming outlier subgroups and individual observations, were suggested in the literature to improve both the robustness and efficiency of the resulting parameter estimates. In the current study, effects of various reweighted estimators at different trimming levels on the Phase II performance of S‐charts are elucidated using computer simulations including isolated and mixtures of contamination models. Outlier magnitudes in the simulations are held at a moderately low level to mimic industrial practice. Subtleties, such as varying Type I error rate among different trimming levels with respect to quantiles of dispersion estimates, prevent a single method to be revealed as the best performing one under all circumstances, and choice of estimators and trimming levels should depend on the number of subgroups in Phase I and the specifics of the process. Nevertheless, S‐chart using scale M‐estimator with logistic ρ and location M‐estimator at 2% trimming generally stands out in terms of Phase II performance, and high trimming levels are particularly recommended for high number of Phase I subgroups.


To contribute to the promotion of reading in schools in Uganda, a number of efforts have been undertaken by the Ministry of Education and Sports, and the civil society organisations including the National Book Trust of Uganda (NABOTU). There has been little progress. This paper reports the findings of a study conducted in Pallisa district regarding school library management practices in the promotion of reading programmes among the primary schools. Through a qualitative case study research design, data was collected from implementers, and participants in the school development programme including teachers, children, head teachers, and teacher librarians in 20 schools selected from the schools that had benefited from the donation of books and training of teacher librarians in 2006 extended by NABOTU. This paper explains the library management practices in Pallisa district, and the participation of the school community / stakeholders in the promotion and management of books and school library resources; and it provides the way forward for developing and promoting reading in schools in Uganda. The paper observes that the current state of libraries in schools is inadequate, and this has limited reading promotion in the schools. This is why a comprehensive government planning and support programme requires a School Library Development (SLD) programme to guide these interventions for stocking school libraries with relevant books and promoting reading practices.


Two pilot plants were investigated for the treatment of wastewater subject to a gradual increase of salinity. In particular, a membrane bioreactor (MBR) and a moving bed biofilm membrane bioreactor (MB-MBR) were studied. Carbon and ammonium removal, kinetic constants and membranes fouling rates have been assessed. Both plants showed very high efficiency in terms of carbon and ammonium removal and the gradual salinity increase led to a good acclimation of the biomass, as confirmed by the respirometric tests. Significant biofilm detachments from carriers were experienced, which contributed to increase the irreversible superficial cake deposition. However, this aspect prevented the pore fouling tendency in the membrane module of MB-MBR system. On the contrary, the MBR pilot, even showing a lower irreversible cake deposition, was characterized by a higher pore fouling tendency. to as moving bed membrane bioreactor (MB-MBR) or biofilm MBR (BF-MBR), are relatively new from the point of view of kinetics and system performance especially regarding the effect of salinity owing to the very few studies developed so far others, Artiga al., 2008). Bearing in mind these considerations, the aim of the paper is to present a comparison among two different systems: MBR and MB-MBR and to assess the effect of the salinity on these two systems in terms of carbon and nutrient removal, fouling behaviour as well as kinetic constants. results that of with . of ammonium


Background: Hypertension is the commonest cardiovascular disorder accounting for 20-50% of all cardiovascular deaths and it is a major health problem affecting most of the countries in the world. Objective: To find out the prevalence of hypertension and to assess the relation of dietary factors with hypertension Methodology: A Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in rural field practice area of department of Community Medicine, Subharti Medical College, Meerut. A personal house to house visit was made to each household selected by systematic random sampling technique and data was collected using a predesigned and pretested interview and examination schedule All the members from selected households were included in the study. Hypertension was defined as Systolic BP e"140mmHg and/or diastolic BP e" 90mmHg or subjects currently taking anti-hypertensive treatment. Total period of study was October 2009 to September 2011. Data was analysed in Microsoft excel using percentiles, Chi-square test and Chi-square test for trend. Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was found to be 18%. A significant association was found between hypertension and type of diet and additional salt intake while no significant association was observed with frequency of intake of junk food. Conclusion: Prevalence of hypertension is found to be high (18%) so there is a need to create awareness about hypertension in the community.


With a wide range of road construction worldwide, the focus of road engineering has shifted to road maintenance and management. This paper presents a research aimed at developing a lean management framework that integrates BIM and deep learning technology to guide lean production applications in road maintenance management. Firstly, the pavement distress dataset is established based on the obtained road point cloud data. Secondly, a deep learning-based 3D object detection network is applied for automatically detect the pavement distress and improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection. After obtaining the detection information of the distress, Dynamo is utilized to realize the efficient visualization management of pavement distresses. Finally, an untrained road section is applied for the experiment. The predicted information of distress is integrated and visualized in BIM model can provide a better maintenance guidance and well promote the transformation of pavement intelligent maintenance management.

Previous double pendulum models of the golf swing could have included some over-simplifications (only two model segments, 2D analysis of 3D motion, rotation around a fixed pivot point). This has been overcome by full-body models driven by motion capture data from real swings. However, information regarding the validity of these models is still limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to create and to validate a full-body model of the golf swing. A Vicon motion analysis system (12 cameras, f=250 Hz) was used to record one subject performing a golf swing with a driver club. By applying the software ADAMS with its plug-in LifeMOD, a full-body simulation of the swing was created based on the recorded motion. Ground reaction forces and the trajectory of the club head were not used as model inputs, but served as independent validation parameters instead. Comparison of the experimental data with the model outputs showed general agreement and a promising potential of the model. In conclusion, it was shown that the software ADAMS with its LifeMOD plug-in is an efficient tool to create biomechanical models of golf swings. Future models should include the shaft deformation and an impact function.


This paper investigates the likely implications of declining oil production on Yemen's equilibrium exchange rate, and discusses policy options to ensure a smooth transition to a nonoil economy. The empirical results suggest that, as oil production and foreign exchange earnings fall, the Yemeni rial will have to adjust downward in real effective terms to keep pace with the equilibrium exchange rate. In light of strong pass-through from exchange rate depreciation to domestic inflation, this could entail a substantial depreciation in nominal terms. Given the nature of the adjustment, a floating exchange rate regime appears to be the best option, if supported by appropriate macroeconomic policies. However, given public fixation on a exchange rate stability, a softly managed float would be a better option for Yemen whereby the central bank may have to lead the market toward the equilibrium exchange rate.

The aim of this paper was to establish a spatial analysis of the Fiscal Management Index (RGF) and check their relationship with the Municipal Development Index (FMDI), in the municipalities of the state of Parana. The increase in public spending, given the context of budgetary constraints, has not been sufficient to attend to primary needs of companies, undermining the services offered by the government. The methodology was based on exploratory spatial data analysis through Global and Local studies, considering the years of 2006, 2009 and 2013. The sources consulted were the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Parana Institute for Economic and Social Development (IPARDES). The results showed that the vast majority of municipalities showed IGF on condition of difficulty or critical, 55% of municipalities had IGF above average. The number of municipalities with excellent level of development increased in the period and more than 50% of the units presented FMDI above average. The global Moran coefficient pointed out the existence of positive spatial autocorrelation of the IGF. The clusters with high IGF have been identified in the regions West and metropolitan region of Curitiba and clusters with low IGF in the Northwest. The positive autocorrelation between IGF and FMDI was found in all the years analyzed. The West, Northwest and metropolitan region of Curitiba shelter the high clustered IGF and IFDM, while North region accommodated the low-low clusters.


The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of intravenous Dexmedetomidine on levels of blood glucose, which is one among several stress response markers under General Anesthesia (GA) for laparoscopic intra-peritoneal surgeries.
The study was planned in the Department of Anaesthesia in Sri  Krishna  Medical  College  and  Hospital,  Muzaffarpur, from Jan 2016 to Oct 2016.The 30 patients undergoing for laparoscopic intra-peritoneal surgeries of 1-2 hours duration with minimal expected blood loss were enrolled.  The approval of the institutional committee was taken prior conduct of study. All the patients were informed consents. The 15 patients in Group A received loading dose of Inj. Dexmedetomidine 1µg/kg/10min diluted to 50ml with Normal Saline, given before induction, followed by maintenance dose 0.5µ/kg/hour till the end of surgery. The 15 patients in Group B received Normal Saline in a similar manner.
Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist has generated lot of interest for its sedative, analgesic, perioperative sympatholytic, anesthetic-sparing, and hemodynamic-stabilizing properties. The data generated in the two study groups in the present study concludes that the use of dexmedetomidine maintains blood glucose levels and favourably influencing the intra operative stress induced blood glucose levels.
Keywords:  Dexmedetomidine, Stress induced blood glucose levels, laparoscopic intra-peritoneal surgeries, etc.

The interior of the contemporary art space provides its users with a sterilised laboratory for the placement and experience of art. Increasingly, its bleached interior presents an a priori condition for the legitimate assignment of artworks within the complex milieu of the contemporary city. Such interiors have become an architectural typology, a predetermined homogenous non-place within which artworks reside. In this sense we can look to Lefebvre to understand the condition of the gallery space for 'inasmuch as abstract space tends towards homogeneity, towards the elimination of existing differences or peculiarities, a new space cannot be born (produced) unless it accentuates differences.' (Lefebvre: 1991, 52) The work of the artist, by contrast, liberates difference. More specifically, the art of performance simultaneously generates and exposes marginal space within the gallery interior; a corporeal action that deposits residual stains and blemishes across the galleries internal skin, leaving marks and traces that resist homogeneity to create a temporary site of differential experience. The lost, forgotten or overlooked marginal zones and irregularities of a gallery space become a point of ephemeral spectacle and this paper addresses the impact of this spatial and corporeal collision.

The research that informs and situates these phenomena traces the irregularities, blemishes and scars that resist conventional mapping; marks that exist within an alternative, unconventional and unbleached space before, during and after a performance act. Recorded through orthographic drawing conventions, the research generated a narrative cartography of corporeal intervention within the interior of X Church Slumgothic, a heavily used semi-decayed community art space in Gainsborough. The co-authors of this research formed a practical collaboration that fused the dynamics and complexities of the performer's body with the fixed conventions of architectural drawings. The discussion in this paper between performer and draughtsman explores how the body becomes an instrument to record and describe an arts interior beyond, yet from within, traditional architectural systems of representation.


In this paper, the adaptive control method is applied to a Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). An Adaptive control which depends on the input-output feedback linearization for torque and speed control of the PMSM is developed. Through the feedback linearization, direct and quadratic current decoupling and controls are achieved. The torque becomes only proportional to the quadratic current and direct current is controlled to zero. The adaptive control is used to estimate the uncertain plant parameter variation and also it does not need any prior information of real parameter. With the help of simulation result, the adaptive control scheme is performed. From these result, it is clear that the proposed method obtains high dynamic performance like vector control.


This article argues that the most likely translation for Deut. 25:12a is 'you shall shave the [hair of her] groin'. This reading is philologically and lexically superior to the standard translations, and it resolves the anomaly of one and only one law in the entire Israelite corpus that imposes physical mutilation as a punishment. It also addresses problems that divide commentators into two camps: those who see the punishment as talionic and those who see it as based on the shamefulness of the woman's deed. By reducing the severity of the punishment from the permanency of amputation to the temporary humiliation of depilation, it allows the punishment to be seen as both. She has humiliated a man publicly by an assault on his genitalia (presumably without serious injury to them); her punishment is public genital humiliation, similarly without permanent injury.


Sleep disorders often co-occur with autism spectrum disorder. They further exacerbate autism spectrum disorder symptoms and interfere with children's and parental quality of life. This study examines whether gastrointestinal dysfunctions increase the odds of having sleep disorders in 610 children with idiopathic autism spectrum disorder, aged 2–18 years, from the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange research program. The adjusted odds ratio for sleep disorder among those with gastrointestinal dysfunctions compared to those without was 1.74 (95% confidence interval: 1.22–2.48). In addition, the odds of having multiple sleep disorder symptoms among children with gastrointestinal dysfunctions, adjusted for age, gender, behavioral problems, bed wetting, current and past supplements, and current and past medications for autism spectrum disorder symptoms were 1.75 (95% confidence interval: 1.10–2.79) compared to children without gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Early detection and treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunctions in autism spectrum disorder may be means to reduce prevalence and severity of sleep problems and improve quality of life and developmental outcomes in this population.


A recent work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 110602] showed that among a pair of \textit{thermodynamically} equidistant quenches from a colder and a hotter initial state at a fixed ambient temperature, the relaxation from the colder initial state (\textit{uphill} relaxation) is always faster, for dynamics close to stable minima. Here we show that this is not generically the case for open quantum systems with two or three energy levels. We find that both faster uphill and faster downhill relaxation and symmetric thermal relaxation can be observed in equidistant quenches, depending on the transition rates and the choice of the distance measure used. Furthermore, we obtain a phase diagram in the parameter space for the three-level system corresponding to different thermalization behaviours.

This study examines the attitudes of 15 male ex-inmates toward heterosexual romantic relationships during imprisonment as viewed retrospectively. The interviewees expressed ambivalence regarding these intimate partnerships, which were a source of difficulty in prison and upon reentry into society. We conclude that prison services could better help inmates to improve these relationships, thus reducing the pains of imprisonment and enhancing their successful social reintegration.


Abstract 4740 Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) affect up to 600,000 individuals and account for ~100,000 deaths in the United States each year, according to The Surgeon General9s Call to Action (CTA) To Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism (2008). Oncology patients, particularly those who are hospitalized or undergo chemotherapy, are at increased risk for DVT/PE. Mortality is greater among patients with cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) than among those with cancer alone. In response to the Surgeon General9s CTA, the National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA), a national, community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of thrombosis and thrombophilia, conducted a survey to benchmark DVT/PE awareness among the general public and several at-risk patient groups, including oncology patients. The literature contains little information about at-risk patient knowledge, and almost no information about general public knowledge of VTE, making this the first, large survey of both public and at-risk patient awareness of DVT/PE. The survey was conducted in November 2009, among a representative cross-section of 500 adults, >20 years, participating in online research panels. For comparison, the identical survey was conducted among a sample of 500 adults, >20 years, screened from an online research panel, who had received a cancer diagnosis or experienced recurrence of cancer within the past 6 months, or who were on active cancer treatment. Evaluations comparing survey responses provided by oncology patients who, in connection with their treatment, did require a hospital stay versus those who did not require a hospital stay showed no statistically significant differences in DVT/PE awareness between the two subgroups. Among all oncology patients surveyed, 24% said that they had heard of a medical condition called DVT, compared to 21% of the general public. Among all respondents who said that they knew what a DVT was (unaided) or who were able to correctly identify DVT on an aided checklist, 61% of oncology and 53% of national respondents said they could name DVT risk factors. The most frequently mentioned DVT risk factor was "sitting for a long time" among both the oncology (45%) and national (28%) samples. Among oncology patients who could name DVT risk factors (n=155), 8% named surgery, 1% named cancer treatment. Among national respondents who could name DVT risk factors (n=109), significantly more (79%) said they could name DVT signs/symptoms compared to oncology respondents (63%) who said the same. While not statistically significant, the national sample did show greater recognition of certain DVT signs/symptoms: skin redness/discoloration, 41% national, 21% oncology; leg swelling, 50% national, 31% oncology; and, leg pain, 37% national, 27% oncology. PE awareness was low among both groups, with 15% of all oncology and 16% of all national respondents saying that they had heard of PE. Of those who what said they knew what a PE was (unaided) or identified it correctly from an aided checklist, about one-third of both groups said they could name PE signs/symptoms, with "breathing difficulties" cited most frequently by oncology (69%) and national (73%) respondents. Significantly fewer oncology patients (28%) mentioned chest pain/tightness as a PE sign/symptom, compared to the national sample (57%). About 8 in 10 oncology and national respondents said that they did know what a blood clot is, and virtually all respondents (98%) recognized blood clots as life threatening. DVT/PE awareness/knowledge was low. Despite increased risk, oncology patients demonstrated no greater awareness of DVT/PE than the general public. DVT/PE education, utilizing interventions identified in the Surgeon General9s DVT/PE CTA, should target the general public, with special emphasis on at-risk oncology patients to fill gaps relative to increased DVT/PE risks and signs/symptoms. Terms should be further simplified for future public awareness and patient education initiatives.

As part of an investigation into the mutual influence of Maori and New Zealand English phonologies into the 21st century, we report on three experiments designed to test whether the languages can be identified from purely prosodic cues. In the first experiment, listeners with varying degrees of exposure to the Maori language heard 15-second stretches of low-pass filtered (400Hz) natural speech from three speaker groups (Historical Elders, Present-day Elders and Young speakers). Listeners were able to identify English and Maori significantly above chance level. In the second experiment, listeners were able to identify the three groups of speakers when the stimuli were filtered to parallel a land-line telephone and to a lesser extent when the stimuli were low-pass filtered. Those listeners with greater exposure to Maori performed better. The third experiment used synthetic stimuli that retained only the pitch and/or loudness information from the original speech. Listeners were able to identify the two languages above chance level when pitch information was included.

Many real systems such as moving vehicles on roads, missiles following trajectories and ships in sea water have asymmetric mass, damping and stiffness matrices. Eigen‐sensitivity analysis methods for the symmetric damped system cannot be used in the asymmetric damped case. Therefore, a method for calculating eigenpair sensitivity of the asymmetric damped system is needed. To do this, a modal method employing a modal superposition idea was recently developed. Since the accuracy of the modal method is dependent on the number of modes used in calculation, the modal method needs higher eigenvectors to guarantee the accuracy. In large‐scale systems, however, only a few lower modes are generally considered for the dynamic analysis. Hence, if the modal method is used to obtain the eigen‐sensitivity of the large‐scale system, the significant errors could not be avoided due to the lack of the information of higher modes. In this paper, the modified modal methods for computing the sensitivities of the eigenpairs of asymmetric damped system using a few lowest sets of modes are proposed. Numerical example shows that the proposed methods achieve better calculating efficiency than the previous modal method. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.

Fault Template Attack (FTA) is a recently proposed class of fault attacks, which exploits the fact that activation and propagation of a fault through combinational logic is data-dependent. Even at the presence of masking and state-of-the-art fault countermeasures, FTA can perform key recovery even at the middle rounds of block ciphers without any access to the ciphertexts. The templates can combine information from different fault locations and cipher executions. This capability of templates is quite powerful and may lead to stronger attacks. In this paper, we enhance the FTA attacks by considering side-channel information during fault injection. Some of the recently proposed combined countermeasures against Statistical Ineffective Fault Analysis (SIFA) and Side-Channel Attack (SCA) fall prey against FTA after this enhancement. The success of the proposed attacks stem from some non-trivial fault propagation properties of S-Boxes, which remained unexplored in the original FTA proposal. We also relax the fault model to some extent from that of the original FTA. The proposed attacks are validated on the hardware implementation of a masked χ3 S-Box through gate-level power trace simulation, establishing its practicality and efficacy.

This paper presents a method of design automation for analog circuits, focusing on topology generation and quick performance evaluation. First we describe mechanisms to generate circuit topologies with hierarchical blocks. Those blocks are specialized by adding terminal information. The connection between blocks is in compliance with a set of synthesis rules, which are extracted from typical schematics in the literature. Symbolic analysis has been used to select an appropriate topology quickly and to help the designer gain a better understanding of a circuit's behavior. Finally, experimental results show the creativity and efficiency of our method


Traffic data are characterized by the occurrence of extreme events and frequent shifts to and from congestion. Current practice in traffic forecasting suppresses or disregards these features. But, indications suggest that these features may encompass useful information for modeling congested condition, as well as the transitions to and from congestion. This paper proposes a self-organizing approach to clustering traffic conditions based on information acquired from the 'peaking' behavior of traffic. Primary findings suggest that traffic has a strong transitional behavior that is reflected by frequent peaks detected in time series of volume and occupancy. The main finding is that traffic can be clustered into four distinct areas of traffic characteristics: (i) free-flow, (ii) medium flow states where traffic volume fluctuates in high values and occupancy is low, (iii) medium flow states where volume fluctuates in high values but occupancy increases sharply, and (iv) congestion. The main contribution of this approach is that it enables extracting a posteriori information from real-time traffic data as it pertains to boundary traffic conditions and it clusters traffic based on the occurrence of transitional movements.


The collection of spatial and temporal information is of primary importance for widefield transient event detection. Full-field imaging systems coupled with high frame-rate detectors readily enable such collections; however, these configurations are not easily adapted to secondary missions with more stressing spectral requirements. While, spectral filters (e.g., filter wheel) can be introduced, the spectral bandpasses must be fairly broad to accommodate shorter integration times. For staring mode sensors, chromotomographic systems offer significant advantages over more conventional systems (filter wheels, AOTF, LCTF). Most notably, due to their integration of signal at each pixel, hyperspectral data can be collected with higher temporal and spectral resolutions at higher signal to noise ratios. These instruments have proven applicable to such diverse fields as optical testing, biomedical imaging and airborne remote sensing. The goal of this research was to study the applicability of CTS systems to scene and target characterization from space-based platforms.


More than 60 original articles and reviews were analyzed in order to study the current state of the epidemiology and prevention of acute intestinal infections (AII) of viral etiology in the world. Interest in a problem of viral AII is determined by their widest prevalence and huge costs associated with the elimination of their consequences. There are at least eight families of viruses that are the cause of acute gastroenteritis. The expansion of the ideas on the epidemiology of viral gastroenteritis has made a significant contribution to increasing the availability of modern diagnostic methods. Leading positions in the etiological diagnosis of viral diarrhea belong to the polymerase chain reaction. The structure of the viral AII in Russia is comparable with the average global rate. The most important frequency agents are rotaviruses and noroviruses. The article reflects the current trends in the epidemiology of acute viral diarrheal diseases: particularly dominant circulating serotypes of rotavirus and rare serotypes in various regions; seasonal changes of dominant strains of rotaviruses; increased frequency of norovirus gastroenteritis in the structure of the AII and increase mortality of children from norovirus infection. Presents data on the phylogenetic diversity of noroviruses and features of GI and GII circulation of genotypes. After the introduction of mass vaccination against rotaviruses in developed countries increases the share of astroviral and adenoviral infection in the structure of the AII. High frequency of astroviral infection is noticed in people with immunodeficiency. Much attention in article is paid to the increase in incidence and mortality of noroviruses, rise in detection rate of mixed viral and viral-bacterial associations and often registration of rare viruses and animal viruses in children. Presents data on the effectiveness of vaccination against rotaviruses in different regions of the world, the development of new vaccines for the prevention of norovirus gastroenteritis. New knowledge about the epidemiology of viral gastroenteritis will contribute to the development of effective  measures of specific preventive maintenance, based on the introduction of vaccination against the most common serogroups of pathogens and application of vaccines with high immunogenicity.


In fully benzenoid hydrocarbons (FBHs), a bond that interlinks one full-hexagon unit (aromatic sextet) with another was termed "quasi-single" by Clar and Zander (9); this local delocalization of aromatic sextets explains well the chemical properties of FBHs. The concept of FBH has been generalized by Nikoli ' et al. (1), Knop et al. (2), and Gutman and Cyvin (12); they partitioned a given benzenoid molecular graph graph-theoretically, and called it a fully arenoid hydrocarbon (FAH). This note shows that the Pauling bond order is a good index for judging whether each bond in FAHs is quasi-single or not, and that not all the full-arene units in the graph-theoretical partitioning are locally delocalized.


What this article adds: A MSF literature review explored values of anthropometric indicators for acute malnutrition in pregnant women that are associated with adverse birth outcomes in humanitarian contexts. It concludes that MUAC is a reliable indicator of risk of low birth weight (LBW) and <23 cm cut-off should be used to enrol pregnant women in nutritional programmes. There was insufficient review evidence to catergorise moderate and severe acute malnutrition cut-offs. Short maternal stature (146-157 cm) can be used to identify risk for LBW and obstetric complications. Further research is needed regarding risk cut-offs for BMI, maternal weight for gestation age, and maternal height and to determine to what extent nutritional programmes can avert LBW risk.


This research has developed a batch scheduling for fabrication and assembly scheduling in a dynamic
flow shop with 4-machine processing multiple items with multiple due dates to minimize the total actual flow
time. Each item comprises one unit of a common component and a number of multiple unique-components each
of which consists of one unit. A common component is a similar component for all items and a unique
component is a specific component for each item. The fabrication process of both components is conducted on
the first three machines and the assembly process is conducted on the fourth machine. The common components
and the unique components are fabricated in batches for the same unique component, and the assembly process
is also performed in batches for the same items. The dynamic condition in this model means that new orders
may arrive at any time over the planning horizon. The new order arrivals are accommodated by totally
rescheduling the initial schedule. The proposed algorithm consists of two algorithms: (1) the static algorithm
determining the number of batches, batch sizes and the schedule, and (2) the dynamic algorithm dealing with
arrivals of the new jobs. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithm is appropriate to solve such
problems.


Batch reactor temperature control is quite complicated because of production requirements and the complex internal mechanism with time-varying parameters and large time delay. A DMC (Dynamic Matrix Control) strategy is employed to optimize and adjust PID controller parameters adaptively according to the working condition, so that the batch reactor temperature can be controlled stably and robustly. The comparison with PFC (Predictive Functional Control)-PID and conventional PID is made by simulation. It is observed that the proposed method for batch reactor temperature control has better dynamic and static characteristics in the presence of external disturbance, time delay and model parameters mismatch.


Abstract: The power of machine learning in understanding the patterns in data, analyzing and making decisions, has shown its importance in various sectors. Machine Learning requires reasonable amount of data to make accurate decisions. Data sharing and reliability of data is very crucial in machine learning in order to improve its accuracy. The decentralized database in Blockchain Technology emphasizes on data sharing. The consensus in Blockchain technology makes sure that data is legitimate and secured. The convergence of these two technologies can give highly accurate results in terms of machine learning with the security and reliability of Blockchain Technology. This paper gives an overview of how combining these two technologies can help in healthcare sectors.


A new design and management system that introduces the concepts of drainage and no-drainage cycles is presented and applied to a hypothetical farm representative of the field conditions in the San Joaquin Valley of California over eight growing seasons. The objective is to reduce subsurface drainage while maintaining an acceptable salt balance. The no-drainage cycle is an extended period that may span several growing seasons in which drains are not operated and no drainage releases are allowed. The drainage cycle is a limited period during the off season in which drains are opened to relieve excessive water table and salinity buildups and restore the suitability of the soil for growing crops. The new system reduced drainage approximately 50 to 58% compared to a traditionally managed system. The corresponding reduction in salt load is approximately 15 to 29% indicating improvement in the efficiency of the drains to intercept more salt per unit volume of water. Despite the significant reduction in drainage volume, the new system is able to approximate the salt balance of a traditionally managed system. The irrigation requirement is reduced by about 145 mm/growing season without any apparent reduction in crop yield.


Establishing an effective situation prediction model for cyber security can know the active situation of future network malicious events in advance, which plays a vital role in cyber security protection. However, traditional models cannot achieve sufficient prediction accuracy when predicting cyber situations. To solve this problem, the initial location information of the sparrow population is optimized, and a sparrow search algorithm based on the Tent map is proposed. Then, the BP neural network is optimized using the improved sparrow search algorithm. Finally, a situation prediction model based on the sparrow search algorithm and BP neural network is proposed, namely T-SSA-BPNN. The simulation results show that the convergence speed and global search ability of the prediction model are improved. It can effectively predict the network security situation with high accuracy.


Peasant political action tends still to be reduced to its most dra matic and abnormal moments -moments of rupture, defensive mobilization against harmful change, collective violence against authority. Although the literature recognizes that peasants have placed their own stamp on the political histories of their regions and countries, it shrinks such impact to moments of crisis leading to rebellion (Stern 1987: 9)J Typically lacking the institutional access necessary to influen ce legislation and administrative regulation, the peasantry defends its interests at the enforcement stage (Scott 1987: 417 y 422).2

This experiment aimed to study the effect of three species of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Frateuria aurantia, Bacillus megaterium and Azotobacter chroococcum) inoculated to seeds and shoots of tomato plants on Cucumber mosaic virusdisease severity, salicylic acid and peroxidase activity content and their ability to suppress the effect of CMV in a plastic tunnel in Tartus-Syria. The results showed that, the treatment with single bacteria Frateuria aurantia produced significant reduction in disease severity and higher infree salicylic acid and peroxidase activity contents compared with Bacillus megaterium or Azotobacter chroococcumin CMVinfected or healthy controls. Mixed treatments with three bacterial species gave the highest reduction in disease severity and increasedof free salicylic acid and peroxide activity contained in both CMV-infected and healthy tomato plants. Such increase in free salicylic acid and peroxidase activity contents suggested the potential ability of rhizobacteria to stimulate mechanisms of systemic resistance and reduces the effect of CMV infection on tomato plants.
