ABSTRACT Reactive molecules derived from molecular oxygen and free radicals are commonly known as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). These molecules produce oxidative stress in cells leading to many pathological problems like diabetes, cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative disorders, and aging. Antioxidants can remove free radicals from the human body. Therefore, it is of remarkable interest to increase the bioavailability of antioxidant drugs by increasing transdermal delivery. Nonionic surfactant vesicles or niosomes are drug carriers used to improve the dermal/transdermal bioavailability of drug supplied to the skin. The present work investigates the efficiency of ex-vivo transdermal delivery of the antioxidant plant extract A. squamosa encapsulated into niosomes using 60 exponentially decaying electroporative pulses of field strength 100 V cm−1 and maximum pulse duration 4 ms. Transdermal delivery was enhanced by applying electroporative pulses with the niosomes entrapping A. Squamosa. The suggested method would help in purifying the body from harmful impurities and oxidants by topical drug enhancers that can be applied directly onto the skin.


The aim of this pilot study in humans was to investigate the effect of an intravascular contrast agent (CA) on relaxation rate in myocardium (R1,myo) in the steady state. The dependence of R1,myo on R1,blood was characterized and compared with a theoretical model which allowed determination of the intra‐ extracapillary water proton exchange frequency (f = 0.48 s−1) and the intracapillary blood volume (RBV = 12.9 %). A linear response range of ΔR1,myo on ΔR1,blood was estimated which in future studies will allow the determination of RBV with intravascular CA.

Antioxidants are considered as important bioactive compounds on account of many health benefits along with their pivotal role in delaying oxidative rancidity of numerous foods. Consequently, the requirement of a standard assay is very important in order to compare the results of different laboratories and validation of the conclusion. This review article explains the scientific basis of numerous different methods for determining antioxidant activity. Advantages and disadvantages of these methods have been taken into consideration along with either the mechanism or the mode of action for each. Comparative assessment using different antioxidant evaluation methods strongly suggests that not all the adopted methods are highly related and thereby antioxidant capacity should be evaluated by more than one method. Moreover, application of antioxidant assays in food analysis have been also reviewed briefly.


While triggering through the B-cell receptor (BcR) facilitates B-cell development and maintenance, it also carries intertwined risks for the emergence of lymphoid malignancies, since malignant B cells can exploit BcR signaling pathways in order to initiate and fuel clonal expansion. Indeed,


【Objective】In recent ten years,the fruit trees have been developed rapidly in Xinjiang.There is more than six hundred thousand hectare farmland that needs to be efficiently utilized in the fruit-bearing forest. The farmland might be reasonably used in cultivation of peanut. Suitable cultivars for this kind of planting must be the key to success.【Method】Datum gotten from the test that different peanut varieties in-terplanted with date trees were analyzed by using statistical software DPS. Variability and cluster analysis were carried out to probe into the traits variability of tested peanut cultivars and classify all the tested peanut cultivars into different groups.【Result】The variability analysis results showed that coefficient of variability of 10 traits was between 11. 97%- 50. 12%. The highest yield was 9 459. 90 kg per hectare. The coefficient of variability of yield was 21. 84%. It showed that there was some difference in the yield of tested cultivars. It also indicated that it was likely to select higher yield peanut cultivars for interplanting in date trees. Cluster analysis results showed that there was relatively large genetic distance in tested peanut cultivars and wide varieties of peanuts in the provinces from which all the tested cultivars were introduced. It also indicated that the cultivars from different provinces were at the same level according to their comprehensive traits.【Conclusion】There was some different in traits when tested cultivars were interplanted with 6 year- old date- trees. Good varieties could be selected out from the introduced cultivars by means of comparative trial. In a word,peanut cultivars can be introduced from Henan,Shandong and Hebei Provinces and then be screened out to satisfy the production needs in the cotton and date intercropping fields in Southern Xinjiang.

Harmonic calculations based on density-functional theory are generally the method of choice for the description of phonon spectra of metals and insulators. The inclusion of anharmonic effects is, however, delicate as it relies on perturbation theory requiring a considerable amount of computer time, fast increasing with the cell size. Furthermore, perturbation theory breaks down when the harmonic solution is dynamically unstable or the anharmonic correction of the phonon energies is larger than the harmonic frequencies themselves. We present here a stochastic implementation of the self-consistent harmonic approximation valid to treat anharmonicity at any temperature in the nonperturbative regime. The method is based on the minimization of the free energy with respect to a trial density matrix described by an arbitrary harmonic Hamiltonian. The minimization is performed with respect to all the free parameters in the trial harmonic Hamiltonian, namely, equilibrium positions, phonon frequencies, and polarization vectors. The gradient of the free energy is calculated following a stochastic procedure. The method can be used to calculate thermodynamic properties, dynamical properties, and even anharmonic corrections to the Eliashberg function of the electron-phonon coupling. The scaling with the system size is greatly improved with respect to perturbation theory. The validity of the method is demonstrated in the strongly anharmonic palladium and platinum hydrides. In both cases, we predict a strong anharmonic correction to the harmonic phonon spectra, far beyond the perturbative limit. In palladium hydrides, we calculate thermodynamic properties beyond the quasiharmonic approximation, while in PtH, we demonstrate that the high superconducting critical temperatures at 100 GPa predicted in previous calculations based on the harmonic approximation are strongly suppressed when anharmonic effects are included.

Abstract The mechanism of the strain-amplitude dependence (non-linearity) of viscoelastic properties of a PVC plastisol was examined. The range of amplitude was 0.02 to 10.24 and the range of frequency was 0.1 to 100 rad/s. The amplitude dependence of dynamic viscosity was very similar to its frequency dependence in that with the increase of amplitude or frequency it decreased first, reaching a minimum and then increased. In the preceding series of papers, the decrease of viscosity with the increase of frequency, i.e. pseudo-plasticity, was attributed to shear-induced phase separation into immobilized layer and mobile phase. In the present work, it is shown that the same mechanism is responsible for the decrease of viscosity with the increase of amplitude. The increase of viscosity with the increase of amplitude (after the minimum) is explained by the dilatation of the immobilized layer. Subsequently, the normal stress acting on the immobilized layer is calculated from the difference of the osmotic pressu...


A few years ago, I was at a meeting, and the term "paradigm shift" was being repeated in multiple presentations. Wondering what the origin and meaning of "paradigm shift" was, I quickly GFGI'ed (Go Freaking Google It) it. I initially thought it would take a few minutes to get a summary and etymology of the term so I could put another useless fact in my brain for future use. However, the GFGI impulse led to my ordering a book on Amazon, followed by a fundamental change in the way I understood the history of scientific discovery, as well as how I changed my views of advances in the field of hand surgery. The term "paradigm shift" was introduced in 1962 by Kuhn,1 a physicist, historian, and philosopher who described it in his book, "Structure of Scientific Revolutions." This textbook has become one of the most cited academic books of all time. A Google search of this textbook performed while writing this editorial returned 122 million hits. Before Kuhn's book, scientific discovery was based on Whig theory of the history of science. Whig theory purports that scientific advances occur because of the addition of new truths to old truths with an increasing approximation of the theories to the truths and, in the odd case, correction of past errors. Essentially, in this theory, scientific advances occur secondary to the continual advancement of the "truth," and occur because of a greater and greater understanding of the problem.2 Kuhn challenged Whig theory because he interestingly did not see scientific advancement as a steady, forward-moving, cumulative process, but saw it as having alternating phases of "normal" and "revolutionary" periods. Kuhn defined a paradigm shift as "a fundamental change in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline." A paradigm designates what the members of a specific scientific community have in common, and their "normal science" is characterized by a set of theories and ideas that give a clear set of tools to approach a problem. However, Kuhn keenly points out that, even under the best of "normal science" conditions, anomalies will occur, and the current paradigm cannot universally explain these anomalies. When enough anomalies accrue within a current paradigm, the "normal science" cannot explain the variations and is thrown into a crisis, resulting in the need for extraordinary research or innovation to address these anomalies. The aftermath of the crisis resolution or scientific revolution is that a new paradigm is born. The new paradigm gains new followers in the scientific community until it becomes the current paradigm, and the old paradigm becomes historic and irrelevant. This process is in contradistinction to Whig theory, where new truths are added to old truths to advance the field. A paradigm shift results in the abandonment of old paradigms and the adoption of new paradigms to reconcile the anomalies. One example of a paradigm shift is the transition of Ptolemaic to Copernican cosmology. Ptolemaic cosmology theorized that the earth was stationary, and all planets and the sun revolved around the earth. When observing the movements of the planets, Copernicus noted the anomalous paths of the planets that could not be rationally reconciled. After years of astronomical observations and mathematic calculations, he proved the sun was the center, and the planets revolved around the sun and forever changed the way astronomy was studied. Even within the field of hand surgery, we have seen and experienced paradigm shifts. In distal radius fracture care, we have shifted from the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefrage philosophy of dorsal plating for extra-articular dorsal angulated distal radius fractures to volar locked plating in the 1990s. In peripheral nerve reconstruction, we have seen the shift from nerve grafting to nerve transfers.3 In soft tissue reconstruction, we have shifted from the reconstructive ladder (moving up one rung at a time) to the reconstructive elevator, often performing more complex surgeries to obtain improved outcomes. Interestingly, it took decades for Kuhn's concepts to be read and become impactful. When first published in 1962, it sold 919 copies. By mid-1987, it had sold 650,000 copies and, to date, has sold >1.4 million copies and has been a driving force for understanding the history of science.2 Kuhn's


In this work, scientific and systematic analysis was conducted for finding out the methods and techniques of ancient ink stick making. Analysis the ancient ink stick on ancient documents and wooden writing as letter or painting, we concluded as followings. From the analysis of ancient wood by dendrochronology, wood was cut at 1899, which provided the information on the year of ink stick`s made on writing on ancient wood. Single particle size for soot of ancient ink stick was 107 nm for ink on the roof-filling timber in Sinsunwonjeon of Changdeok Palace, compared to 38 to 86 nm on the letter on ancient 12 paper document. Aggregate particle size was 370 nm for ink on the roof-filling timber in Sinsunwonjeon of Changdeok Palace, but 206 to 318 nm for aggregate particle size on 12 paper documents. There was similar pattern between single particle size and aggregate particle size of soot, which might provide the information of raw material for ancient ink. From infra-red and Raman spectroscopic analysis of sheet of writing on paper or wood, there was severe interference from background material (paper or wood). From Raman spectroscopic analysis of ancient ink carefully separated from ancient wood, spectrum pattern was closer to ink stick made by the soot from pine burning.


An efficient parallel finite element procedure for nonlinear transient shell dynamic problems is presented within the framework of explicit finite element analysis. The procedure presented here in this paper includes a parallel Belytschko-Lin-Tsay shell element generation algorithm and a parallel explicit time integration scheme. An element-wise domain decomposition strategy and a communication minimization strategy are featured to achieve almost perfect load balancing among processors and to show scalability of the parallel performance. Throughout this work, a prototype code, named GT-PARADYN, is developed on the IBM SP2, to implement the procedure presented, under message-passing paradigm. Some examples are provided to demonstrate the timing results of the algorithms, discussing the accuracy and efficiency of the code.

Navies worldwide have applied with a varied degree of success various maintenance concepts to achieve certain targeted operational ship availability. Nevertheless, few concepts focus on both the human and equipment factors that drive the unavailability or downtime. These factors can be designated as Downtime Influence Factors (DIFs). In previous research the severe DIFs had been identified via a 5-Stage Delphi conducted with experts in the field of Patrol Vessel (PV) In-Service Support (ISS) Contracts in Malaysia. By prioritizing and rating these DIFs based on Risk Assessment it was possible to determine a Severity Index formula. In a first step, the Severity Index (SI) prioritized the DIFs that are severe. In a subsequent step, the interrelationship of the DIFs was analyzed with the help of SPSS and the SI index was adjusted to take into account interrelationships. The resulting adjusted SI assists PV ISS contract stakeholders to pinpoint and focus on human and equipment factors that are the main causes of downtime.


A normal baseline TSH serum concentration is accepted as excluding thyroid dysfunction. The present study examined the usefulness of that concentration as a screening test for functional autonomy. 310 patients were retrospectively examined. They were all clinically euthyroid and had normal peripheral thyroid hormone concentrations. The positive predictive value for the confirmation of autonomy was 55.5%, the negative predictive value for the exclusion of autonomy 87.7%, using 0.5 mU/l as a lower limit. The probability for the presence of thyroid autonomy in patients with a TSH serum concentration below 0.3 mU/l was 72.5%.

The effect of a magnetic field B' on the resonant tunneling between different magnetic states of the molecular clusters Fe8 and Mn12 has been studied by measuring the magnetic specific heat of these compounds between 0.1 K and 6 K. At zero field, we have shown that tunneling proceeds via excited levels and found which states contribute most to quantum tunneling in Fe8. As B' increases, the superparamagnetic blocking temperature decreases, thus indicating that tunneling proceeds through progressively lower lying excited levels. At high enough fields, incoherent tunneling is observed to proceed through the ground state, at rates faster than 1 s. For still higher fields, the tunnel splitting D t of their m5610 magnetic ground states can be made large compared to perturbations such as hyperfine and dipolar interactions. Under those conditions, the equilibrium specific heat measured at the lowest temperature gives evidence for the presence of a D t , thus showing that coherent quantum mechanical tunneling can occur in these ''mesoscopic'' systems. For Mn12 the dissipation caused by the hyperfine interaction between the electronic and nuclear Mn spins has been studied in detail.


The rapid surge of data transmission within computation, storage and communication infrastructures is pushing the speed boundary of traditional copper-based electrical links. Recent realizations of l00Gb/s wired links require advanced FinFET technologies, highcost packaging/cables and power-consuming equalization. High-frequency waves over dielectric waveguides have been considered as an alternative solution that exploits the low-loss, broadband medium while maintaining compatibility with existing silicon 1C platforms. However, since its debut in 2011 [1], this scheme, previously using $\leq 140\mathrm{G}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{z}$ carriers, has only achieved data rates of up to 36Gb/s[2]. lt is expected that higher carrier frequencies (e.g. >200GHz) and multi-channel aggregation would further increase the data rate while shrinking the interconnect size; but that scheme has been hindered by challenges related to the required high-order multiplexer and ultra-broadband waveguide coupler operating efficiently at sub terahertz (sub-THz) frequencies. in this paper, using a 130nmSiGe BiCMOS technology, we present a multi-channel, multiplexer/coupler-integrated transmitter (Tx) that delivers a data rate of $105\mathrm{G}\mathrm{b}/\mathrm{s}(3\times 35\mathrm{G}\mathrm{b}/\mathrm{s})$. To demodulate each channel, a 35Gb/s coupler-integrated receiver (Rx) is also developed. Ourlink, including the chipset and a 0. 4mm-wide, 30cm-long dielectric ribbon, experimentally demonstrates the potential speed, efficiency, size and cost advantages of THz fiber links in high-speed inter-server and backplane fabrics.

In this paper, the homogeneous distributed control law is proposed such that the outputs of the networked Lur'e systems with disturbances are synchronized. A novel adaptive distributed state‐based disturbance compensator technique is utilized such that the disturbances can be offset asymptotically. The design of the distributed compensator is constructive in that some particular functions of the states of the Lur'e systems are included. The functions always exist for the considered Lur'e‐type system. Moreover, a theorem of networked Lur'e systems subject to disturbances is first presented to show the boundedness of the states of the closed‐loop system. Then, the synchronization is shown by the incremental passivity theory and graph theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the current method is illustrated by the networked Van der Pol oscillators with disturbances.


Many campuses have reported having a difficult time filling all of their vacant IS student positions each semester. Students have become a vital component of all IS departments on campuses and are necessary for the delivery of services to the full community. Recruiting qualified and competent students is a challenge higher education must address every couple of months as semesters change.While attending regional and national meetings, this author frequently asks attendees discussing the problem of student hiring, "How many of your students are women?" The response to this question prompted the writing of this paper. One manager reported that all of his employees were male, another said that though he has a few women, the male students treated them with little respect and assumed the "girls" could not deal with the mysteries of technology.Wellesley College employees over 160 female students and considers them essential to the daily operation of the Information Services Department. They can not only be found in all of the public labs, dorms and at the Help Desk, but also in repair and installation of equipment. They are incredibly bright and capable but more importantly we have found that they thrive on the challenge of troubleshooting problems while interacting and communicating with distraught staff and students. The key to attracting large numbers of applicants turned out to be training.


Automobile ownership models are an integral part of comprehensive transportation modeling systems. Recent work and ongoing advances in the area of activity-based travel demand modeling have recognized the need for increased experimentation with automobile choice models. On the other hand, while automobiles are very important in people's everyday lives, they also have a serious impact on the environment. This impact occurs at the micro level (pollution) as well as the macro level (emission of greenhouse gases and global warming). Such impacts have led to increased interest in reducing motor vehicle emissions. A household automobile type choice model was developed at a disaggregate level. The model can provide a direct forecast of consumer demand for personal-use vehicles given the available choices. A well-developed form of discrete choice modeling techniques, the nested logit model, was used to investigate the process of household automobile type choice decisions given that a transaction has occurred.


Significance Electric fields control embryonic development and wound healing through directing and enhancing cell migration and proliferation. However, details pertaining to electric sensing of cells remain unclear. Many studies have reported involvement of different cell surface proteins, yet the identity of the electric field sensor is unknown. We demonstrate that the detergent-resistant membrane nanodomains, known as lipid rafts, act as the primary sensor to electric field-induced directional cell migration. These nanodomains respond to electric fields as mobile complexes that polarize, coalesce, and partition membrane proteins and in turn activate intracellular signaling events to orient cell migration. Endogenous electric fields (EFs) are involved in developmental regulation and wound healing. Although the phenomenon is known for more than a century, it is not clear how cells perceive the external EF. Membrane proteins, responding to electrophoretic and electroosmotic forces, have long been proposed as the sensing molecules. However, specific charge modification of surface proteins did not change cell migration motility nor directionality in EFs. Moreover, symmetric alternating current (AC) EF directs cell migration in a frequency-dependent manner. Due to their charge and ability to coalesce, glycolipids are therefore the likely primary EF sensor driving polarization of membrane proteins and intracellular signaling. We demonstrate that detergent-resistant membrane nanodomains, also known as lipid rafts, are the primary response element in EF sensing. The clustering and activation of caveolin and signaling proteins further stabilize raft structure and feed-forward downstream signaling events, such as rho and PI3K activation. Theoretical modeling supports the experimental results and predicts AC frequency-dependent cell and raft migration. Our results establish a fundamental mechanism for cell electrosensing and provide a role in lipid raft mechanotransduction.

Large uncertainties remain in the current and future contribution to sea level change from Antarctica from observations and numerical flow modelling. Within the SeaRISE project atmospheric, oceanic, and subglacial forcing scenarios were applied to different ice-sheet models to assess Antarctic ice sheet sensitivity over a 500 year timescale. The scenario results have been compared to the individual state of each model at the end of its spin-up. It has been shown, that the model results highly depend on the chosen climate forcing and spin-up strategy.


A B S T R A C T Twenty strawberry cultivars were evaluated in terms of their susceptibility to infestation by the strawberry mite (Phytonemus pallidus ssp. fragariae Zimm.). The trial was carried out from 2000 to 2002 at the Dą browice Experimental Orchard near Skierniewice in central Poland. Two to four times each season, both motile forms and eggs were counted on randomly sampled leaves of each cultivar. The highest numbers of mites were generally found in June and July. All of the strawberry cultivars evaluated were susceptible to infestation by the strawberry mite. The most susceptible cultivars were 'Marmolada', 'Kent', 'Honeoye', 'Evita', 'Elsanta', 'Selva', 'Polka', 'Kastor' and 'Elkat'. Moderately susceptible cultivars included 'Vega', 'Karel', 'Seal', 'Selection 1476', 'Temira', 'Tarda Vicoda', 'Malling Pandora', 'Selection 1248' and 'Senga Sengana'. The cultivars least susceptible to infestation by the strawberry mite were 'Selection 723' and 'Pegasus'.


The promise of inexpensive photoelectrochemical solar-energy converters with semiconductor electrodes (SE) has stimulated a brisk development of research in this field. A large part of this work involved a determination of the SE's flat-band potential. One of the chief methods used to determine this is the preparation of Mott-Schottky plots (MSP), which rests on the fact that the capacity of a depleted spacecharge layer (SCL) can be described by the Mott-Schottky relation presented here. Results are reported for impedance studies at a polycrystalline thin-film SE of SnO/sub 2/ for which the Hall-effect measurements had shown that the concentration of free carriers is (2-5) X 10/sup 20/ cm/sup -3/. An electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) which allows for the geometry of the ohmic contact and which explains the frequency dispersion of measured capacitance observed previously has been described for the first time in the present work in order to interpret results obtained when measuring the impedance of SE/electrolyte junctions. The results obtained when studying SE of SnO/sub 2/ can be explained completely in terms of the suggested EEC.


In order to complete a project in the proposed time at the estimated cost, the work has to be well organized. Careful construction planning cuts Costs, Time and creates an orderly sequence for the project. Improvement of planning management not only can aid the construction industry, but may also be the engine for the national and world economy. This paper shows that how we can cut the construction cost and time by applying simple techniques of proper scheduling. Scheduling is the process by which you look at the time available to you, and plan how you will use it to achieve the goals you have identified. This paper also shows the requirements of effective planning through proper utilization of labor, material and equipment as these are the major part of construction. Paper includes a step-by-step look at the Project Planning Cycle, including, Project Objectives, Strategic Goals, Data Collection, Deliverables, Tasks, Task Relationships, Resourcing, Implementation Strategy, Scheduling, Monitoring, Risk Management.


The irreducible unitary highest weight representations $(\pi_\lambda,\mathcal{H}_\lambda)$ of the group $U(\infty)$, which is the countable direct limit of the compact unitary groups $U(n)$, are classified by the orbits of the weights $\lambda \in \mathbb{Z}^{\mathbb{N}}$ under the Weyl group $S_{(\mathbb{N})}$ of finite permutations. Here, we determine those weights $\lambda$ for which the first cohomology space $H^1(U(\infty),\pi_\lambda,\mathcal{H}_\lambda)$ vanishes. For finitely supported $\lambda \neq 0$, we find that the first cohomology space $H^1(U(\infty),\pi_\lambda,\mathcal{H}_\lambda)$ never vanishes. For these $\lambda$, the highest weight representations extend to norm-continuous irreducible representations of the full unitary group $U(\mathcal{H})$ (for $\mathcal{H}:= \ell^2(\mathbb{N},\mathbb{C})$) endowed with the strong operator topology and to norm-continuous representations of the unitary groups $U_p(\mathcal{H})$ ($p\in [1,\infty]$) consisting of those unitary operators $g\in U(\mathcal{H})$ for which $g-\mathbb{1}$ is of $p$th Schatten class. However, not every 1-cocycle on $U(\infty)$ automatically extends to one on these unitary groups, so we may not conclude that the first cohomology spaces of the extended representations are non-vanishing. On the contrary, for the groups $U(\mathcal{H})$ and $U_\infty(\mathcal{H})$, all first cohomology spaces vanish. This is different for the groups $U_p(\mathcal{H})$ with $1\leq p <\infty$, where only the natural representation on $\mathcal{H}$ and on its dual have vanishing first cohomology spaces.


Operative conditions necessary for endoscopic thoracic surgery are the same as that of classical surgery. The operation is performed in the operating room on a patient under general anesthesia. Selective intubation is better, if possible, and the patient is installed in the postero-lateral thoracotomy position. Pleural abrasion offers the principal advantages of its technical simplicity, shorter operation time, and especially the possibility of thoracic reoperation which cannot be excluded in young patients, future heavy smokers and in those who are potential transplantation patients. Regardless of the endoscopic pleurodesis technique used, a thorough exploration of the lung is done and parenchymal resection performed if bullous lesions exist. The first trocar, which serves for introduction of the video optical system, is put into place in the posterior nonmuscular area. More caution is required in thin patients whose intercostal spaces are narrow. A second 5mm trocar is introduced under endoscopic surveillance. Its introductory opening is made on the anterior axillary line in the 3rd or 4th space. This opening must be anterior enough to permit good exposure of pulmonary lesions. Through this trocar a pulmonary retractor is introduced. The first operative step always consists of treatment of parenchymal lesions. It begins with freeing of the parietal adhesions present, then bullous lesions are resected after endoscopic stapling (endoGIA 30).


This paper presents a multi-agent dynamic lane-changing (LC) trajectory planning method for CAV. In this method, a decision module is constructed by means of a potential field to determine the LC starting point. Then a series of trajectories is generated in the trajectory generation module. A cost function is constructed for searching for the corresponding optimal trajectory for both the subject vehicle and the participants. The simulation results indicate that the proposed model improves the LC success rate and reduces duration. Differing from the traditional model, we consider the cooperation feature of CAV's LC and satisfy the subject vehicle's demand as well as minimizing its impact on the other participants. Moreover, the driving environment including mesoscale information is considered to improve the LC success rate, which provides a new strategy for optimizing LC decision. Additionally, the method can also be applied to simulate CAVs' LC behaviour.

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS By R. J. MINNITT, M.D., D.A. ABOUT the year 1932 many public bodies were awakening to the urgent need that something should be done for the relief of pain during childbirth, and in response to a request from the Clinical Investigation bub-Committee of the Medical Board of the Liverpool Maternity Hospital to suggest any proposals that could be considered on the subject, I replied that some form of oral administration for assuaging labour pains had yet to be found, and that I would like to be associated with the research work. The fact that I had often noticed that although a patient undergoing teeth extraction with gas struggled violently, yet later had no recollection of the actual operation, encouraged the intention to try out the drug in midwifery, and early in 1933 I remember the late Dr. Howard Jones saying that he thought it could be administered on the injector principle. This stimulated me to consider the working out of details and make the experiment, but my view was that it should be a mixture of nitrous oxide and air, and not pure gas. Gas and air was first used in America, and was administered with a machine invented by Dr. McKesson, the proportion of gas being 70%. The unsatisfactory results were due to a too high percentage of gas, and I felt that if the proper proportions could be found a safe and reliable analgesia would be produced. Dr. A. A. Gemmell wrote on July 4, 1933, to ask me to suggest a possible scheme for research on. anzesthetics in labour at the Liverpool Maternity Hospital, the aim being to discover a means of alleviating the pains of labour without interfering with *the uterine action. Further, the method was to be one applicable to general practice, and one which the doctor could safely leave in the hands of the midwife to carry out in his absence. On Julv 19, 1933, Mr. A. Charles King and I considered the adaptation of a McKesson oxygen therapy apparatus for the purpose, and during the next two months I collaborated with h:m in the construction of an intermittent flow apparatus for admini. stering gas and air inhalations. About the middle of September the machine (fig. I) arrived, together with a Devonshire cylinder stand, and a month later I instructed Dr. Hilda Garry how to use it for the first case at the Liverpool Maternity Hospital, and evolved the technique of administration. Four days later it was shown in London at the General Meeting of the Association of Anzesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland. It had then been employed in four cases. Shortly afterwards Dr. John Elam introduced the machine at the Wellhouse Hospital, Barnet, and from this time investigations were being carried out with the apparatus at these two places under my direction and control. Details of 121 cases were recorded at the Liverpool Maternity Hospital, and of 58 cases conducted at the Wellhouse Hospital. Barnet. These analyses and reports were incorporated in the paper which I read at the Liverpool Medical Institution in February 1934, entitled "Self-administered Analgesia for the Midwifery of General Practice". A month later Professor A. Leyland Robinson wrote to the Council of the British (now Roval) College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, saying that the apparatus foradministration of eas and air had, given extraordinary results in hospital, and h'ad already proved itself to be of excellent value. He suggested that the method should be given a trial in dom:ciliary practice. Some research having been undertaken at the Liverpool Maternity Hospital it was established by electro-cardiographic examrnations of women to whom gas-air analgesia was administered that these were not influenced to anextent by the patients' experiences. It was also found that the second stage of labour was not prolonged. I read a paper at a Meeting of this Section on May 4, 1934 (Proceedings. 27, 1313) upon the subject, and a cine film, kindly made for me bv Mr. C. Macinto-h Marshall, was shown of actual administration to patients. I also demonstrated the apparatus at Universitv Colleze Hospital and Queen Charlotte's Hocnital. and described the technique at the Royal Free Hosnital. Other London hospitals quickly acquired the apparatus, and machines were installed at the Royal Infirmarv and at the Walton Hospital, Liverpool, and St. Mary's Hospital, Manchester, soon afterwards.

Methylated and inorganic germanium compounds have been separated by liquid-liquid extraction from aqueous hydrohalogenic acid (HX) solution into carbon tetrachloride. The germanium compounds dissolve in water as their hydroxides ((CH_3)_nGe(OH)_4._n: n = 0, 1, 2 or 3), and form their halide complexes ((CH_3)_nGeX4._n) in HX solution. Large difference in the extraction constants and stability constants of (CH3)_nGeX_4._n are ascribed to the inductive effect of the methyl groups which reduces the stability of the bond between the germanium atom (hard acid) and a hydroxide ion (hard base).


A mobile communication device of an end user (user equipment or "UE") can use more than one radio access technology ("RAT") such as GSM, WCDMA, TDS-CDMA, LTE, and NR. Searching for information needed by the UE to use a specific RAT can consume large amounts of power and time. Locally stored acquisition databases ("PLMN Info DBs") of previously encountered communication access points and services can speed up searches, but can be limited by the storage capacity of the UE. Also a locally stored PLMN Info DB may be invalided when a UE moves to a location that is distant from locations where access points and services were previously encountered; e.g., when the UE is moved to a new region, state, or country. A Virtual PLMN Info DB stored on a remote server (e.g., "in the cloud") can contain a more complete set of acquisition information. A full or abbreviated copy of the Virtual PLMN Info DB can be loaded onto UE from a server or from a peer UE device. Access information contained in the Virtual PLMN Info DB can be obtained by crowdsourcing data acquisition or by peer-to-peer communication. The Virtual PLMN Info DB can be implemented as a database or as a logic entity with specific functions to enable the acquisition of corresponding data elements on demand. INTRODUCTION A mobile UE can include components to enable a device to use more than one RAT. Commonly supported and implemented RATs include GSM, WCDMA, TDS-CDMA, LTE, and 2 Wang et al.: Device History Recall Optimization with Virtual, Locally-Stored A Published by Technical Disclosure Commons, 2018 NR. A device may also support multiple radio frequency ("RF") bands for each supported RAT. As a consequence, when a mobile communication device begins a process to select a public land mobile network ("PLMN") to join, the device may be required to search a large number of RF bands. Such a search can consume power, cause significant delay in acquisition of a wireless communication service, and thereby degrade the usage experience of the end-user of the mobile communication device. One common method used to reduce the resources needed to perform the process of selecting a PLMN is to reference a PLMN Info DB that includes historical data referring to previously acquired communication services of a PLMN. This historical data in the PLMN Info DB can include carrier frequencies, cellular communication node identifiers, and other information on cellular node parameters from previously received measurement control elements or previously detected cellular communication nodes. The ability to use of historical data in this manner can be limited by the amount of storage space available for the PLMN Info DB. Additionally, the historical information stored in the PLMN Info DB may not apply to all RF environments. The problem of non-applicability of information can be especially acute when the mobile communication device moves to a new location, region, or country. In this case, the PLMN Info DB stored in the mobile communication device can contain information that is different from the information that describes available services of a PLMN in the new location, region, or country. Virtual PLMN Info DB The limitations described above of a PLMN Info DB that is stored locally on UE can be avoided through the use of a Virtual PLMN Info DB. The Virtual PLMN Info DB can be used in place of, or in addition to, a locally stored PLMN Info DB. Information stored in the Virtual 3 Defensive Publications Series, Art. 1808 [2018] https://www.tdcommons.org/dpubs_series/1808 PLMN Info DB can be the same as that stored in a local PLMN Info DB. Alternatively, the Virtual PLMN Info DB can include more information, including non-cellular-related information of the UE, than a locally stored copy of the PLMN Info DB to make the Virtual PLMN Info DB a more comprehensive source of information for the UE. Virtual PLMN Info DB as a Database Figure. 1 Virtual PLMN Info DB as a Database Figure 1 depicts the Virtual PLMN Info DB implemented as a database. At the virtual layer, the Virtual PLMN Info DB can provide database-like behavior and functionality to obtain information about RATs stored in RAT-specific PLMN Info DBs. The RATs included can be, for example, specifically selected RATs or all RATs useable by the device. Information stored in the Virtual PLMN Info DB can include, but is not limited to, data values for system information, location information, and/or one or more: PLMNs, RATs, frequency bands; frequency band classes; carrier frequencies including absolute radio frequency channel numbers ("ARFCNs"); universal terrestrial radio access networks ("UTRANs") absolute radio frequency 4 Wang et al.: Device History Recall Optimization with Virtual, Locally-Stored A Published by Technical Disclosure Commons, 2018 channel numbers ("UARFCNs"); evolved UTRAN ("E-UTRANs"), E-UTRAN ARFCNs ("EARFCNs"); new radio-ARFCNs ("NR-ARFCNs"); tracking area codes ("TACs"); location area codes ("LACs"); routing area codes ("RACs"); cell identifiers, physical cell identifiers ("PCIs"); and/or associated WiFi media access control ("MAC") addresses. The Virtual PLMN Info DB can be stored on a remote networked server or "in the cloud," and/or a copy can be stored on the UE can be a full copy of the complete Virtual PLMN Info DB or an abbreviated version that contains a subset of the information contained in the full copy. The abbreviated version of the Virtual PLMN Info DB can be based on service or on specific procedures. An instance of a full copy or an abbreviated version of the Virtual PLMN Info DB can be preconfigured and dynamically downloaded to the UE from a cloud-based server. Specifically, the UE can accept a copy of the instance of the full copy or of the abbreviated version of the Virtual PLMN Info DB pushed to it by the server. The UE can also pull a copy of the instance to itself from the server. Peer devices in proximity to the UE can also be used to deliver the PLMN Info DB to the UE. A peer-to-peer cellular connection can be used to transmit a copy of the PLMN Info DB to the UE. Other communication channels, including a WiFi (e.g., IEEE 802.11) connection, a Bluetooth (e.g., IEEE 802.16) connection, a sidelink of an LTE-Direct connection, or another peer-to-peer communication method can be used. 5 Defensive Publications Series, Art. 1808 [2018] https://www.tdcommons.org/dpubs_series/1808 Virtual PLMN Info DB Functionality Figure 2 Virtual PLMN Info DB as a Function Figure 2 indicates that the Virtual PLMN Info DB can be implemented as an abstraction of the available information or as a logic entity with specific functions to enable the acquisition of corresponding data elements on demand. The Virtual PLMN Info DB function can also involve peer-to-peer communication to acquire part or all of the information to be contained in the PLMN Info DB from peers. Figure 2 indicates that information in the Virtual PLMN Info DB can be obtained through crowd-sourced data collection and/or via peer-to-peer connections. If crowd-sourced, cellular data from one or more carriers and/or one or more locations can be collected and aggregated on a network server. The Virtual PLMN Info DB can be created based on different service types. As examples, a Mobile Country Code (MCC) Virtual PLMN Info DB can be based on one or more MCC service types, a PLMN Virtual PLMN Info DB can be based on one or more PLMN service types, a cellular service Virtual PLMN Info DB can be based on one or more cellularservice service types, a WiFi Hotspot Virtual PLMN Info DB can be based on one or more WiFi 6 Wang et al.: Device History Recall Optimization with Virtual, Locally-Stored A Published by Technical Disclosure Commons, 2018 service types and/or on WiFi hotspot. A Location Virtual PLMN Info DB can be based on service types associated with one or more locations (e.g., latitude/longitude pairs). In some examples, the Location service type can be tied to a Virtual PLMN Info DB that contains all cellular information associated with a geolocation. Cell Selection Using a Virtual PLMN Info DB Figure 3 Flow diagram of process of cellular communication selection. A flow diagram for a process of selection of a cellular communication cell selection is shown in Figure. 3. The process of Figure 3 can begin when a UE determines whether a local PLMN Info DB is available for its use. If a local PLMN Info DB is available, the UE can attempt to acquire the available local PLMN Info DB. If acquisition of the available local PLMN Info DB is successful, the process of Figure 3 can end. 7 Defensive Publications Series, Art. 1808 [2018] https://www.tdcommons.org/dpubs_series/1808 If acquisition of the local PLMN Info DB is unsuccessful, then the UE can determine whether a Virtual PLMN Info DB is available. If a Virtual PLMN Info DB is available, the UE can attempt to acquire the available Virtual PLMN Info DB. If acquisition of the available Virtual PLMN Info DB is successful, the process of Figure 3 can end. If acquisition of the available Virtual PLMN Info DB is unsuccessful, the UE can attempt to access a Virtual PLMN Info DB function with peer-to-peer information for a service type. If the UE successfully accesses the Virtual PLMN Info DB function, the process of Figure 3 can end. If the UE unsuccessfully accesses the Virtual PLMN Info DB function, the UE can perform a frequency band scan and the process of Figure 3 can end. Manual Search Using a Virtual PLMN Info DB Figure 4 Flow diagram of manual search process 8 Wang et al.: Device History Recall Optimization with Virtual, Locally-Stored A Published by Technical Disclosure Commons, 2018 A manual search process for finding searched-for information related to service types ST1 and ST2 (e.g., an MCC service type, a PLMN service type, a cellular-service service type, a WiFi service type) is shown above in Figure 4. The process of Figure 4 can begin when a UE attempts to use a Virtual PLMN Info DB function to o


ABSTRACT This paper considers the faunal remains from recent excavations at the Royal London Hospital. The remains date to the beginning of the 19th century and offer an insight into the life of the hospital's patients and practices of the attached medical school. Many of the animal remains consist of partially dissected skeletons, including the unique finds of Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni) and Cercopithecus monkey. The hospital diet and developments in comparative anatomy are discussed by integrating the results with documentary research. They show that zooarchaeological study of later post-medieval material can significantly enhance our understanding of the exploitation of animals in this period


The elaboration uses does the cutting technology to process this kind of green technique of manufacture the significance,and to does the cutting technology in the application to guarantee that the implementation the measure carries on the discussion and the research。


Using a set of explicitly correlated trial wavefunctions that describe the three lowest singlet and triplet states of the helium atom with symmetry S, P, and D, we calculate the decay rates for all possible magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions: m3P2n1S0, m1P1n3S1, m3D3n1P1, and m1D2n3P2. Our values are in excellent agreement with the best results in the literature. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011


CASE
We describe a case of septic hip arthritis and enterocutaneous fistula formation caused by the seeding of a hip joint during hip arthroscopy performed in the setting of a psoas abscess. Treatment consisted of multiple debridements and femoral head resection with subsequent total hip arthroplasty.

CONCLUSIONS
This case highlights the importance of a thorough history, physical examination, and assessment of available imaging before proceeding to surgery, even when the procedure is one considered to have minimal risks, such as arthroscopy.


. Summary This study was carried out to investigate the sensitivity of Trypanosoma vivax to isometamidium chloride. In this study, three T. vivax stocks were used to infect Nubian goats; these were Halfa, Kenana and Sennar stocks. Thirty-two Nubian goats were used for the experiment. They were divided into seven groups; six were experimentally infected with three stocks of T. vivax, two groups with each stock, through the jugular vein. Then three of these infected animal groups, one from each stock-infected groups, were treated with isometamidium chloride at a dose of 0.5 mg/Kg live b.wt, while the seventh group served as uninfected control group. The haematocrit centrifugation technique (HCT) and dark-ground phase-contrast buffy coat technique (BCT) were used for detecting trypanosome infection. The study showed that Nubian goats were highly susceptible to T. vivax infection. Infected animals showed variable clinical signs and different values in haematological parameters. Also the infection led to death of five of the infected animals. The infection resulted in a significant increase (P≤ 0.05) in body temperature and significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) in packed cell volume (PCV), total red blood cells counts (RBCs), haemoglobin concentration (Hb) values and white blood cells counts (WBCs) in all infected animals compared to the treated and uninfected control groups. Relapse was detected after treatment with isometamidium chloride at 0.5 mg/kg bwt in only one animal of treated Sennar isolate-infected group. This suggested that Isometamidium is effective in treatment of T. vivax.

On November 4, 2004, the front page of Britain's most respected newspaper, The Guardian, was covered in black except for small white letters in the center saying, "Oh God!" You'll find no clue about it in U.S. major media, but in much of the rest of the world there is a terrible unease about the Bush administration's now unchallenged "New American Century." Whatever else it might mean, it is clear that it is meant to be the American Century all around the world. That being the case, the rest of the world (incidentally, as we shall see, including U.S. voters) would do well to look to the experience of the Western Hemisphere. On matters of U.S. imperial design, Latin America has always been ahead of the learning curve. Latin American experience suggests that every tool of hegemonic control that ever worked and many that did not— from pulling out the capital to sending in the marines—will still be found in the tool shed.


Objective To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy and improvement on motor function. Methods 58 cases of pediatric patients with cerebral palsy in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2012 were randomly divided into two groups: 30 cases in the control group were given intravenous infusion of cerebrolysin 10 d + massage, exercise functional training, language skills training, acupuncture and other comprehensive treatment 20 d, as a course of treatment; 28 cases in the study group were plus hyperbaric oxygen for treatment during cerebrolysin infusion, muscle tone and motor function were evaluated after three courses of treatment in the two groups. Results The study group were improved more significantly in muscle tone and motor function after treatment than pre-treatment, but the control group had no significant change, with statistically significant difference(P 0.05) in the study group before and after treatment or muscle tone improvement in comparison with the control group. Conclusions Hyperbaric oxygen can improve brain tissue ischemia and hypoxia by promoting cerebral perfusion in children with cerebral palsy, with better effect when combined with massage, exercise functional training and other comprehensive approaches.


The green transformation of the manufacturing industry is related to the low-carbon and green development of the economy. The study explored the impact mechanism of the implementation of green finance policy on the green transformation of China's manufacturing industry from 2013 to 2021 from three aspects of capital formation and incentive, credit catalysis, integration and decentralization, and conducted a quasi-natural experiment using difference-in-difference (DID) model. Research finds that: (1) The implementation of green finance significantly promotes the green transformation of China's manufacturing industry and has good sustainability. The mechanisms of fund formation and orientation, credit catalysis, integration and decentralization are the primary mechanism of green finance to promote the green transformation of the manufacturing industry, and the implementation effect of green finance has apparent heterogeneity; (2) The promoting effect of green finance on the green transformation of the manufacturing industry is solely vast in state-owned industries however now not enormous in non-state-owned industries; (3) The influence of green finance on the green transformation efficiency of manufacturing industry with a better information environment is more significant than manufacturing industry with a worse information environment; (4) Faced with the pressure of investing in green industries, the coping strategies adopted by enterprises in different industries are quite different. The promoting effect of green finance on the green transformation of the manufacturing industry is significant in low-competition industries but insignificant in high-competition industries. This study has enriched the research on the effect of green finance policies, explored solutions based on quasi-nature, and provided policy references for the green transformation of the manufacturing industry.


Under the dual pressure of water environment and water safety in wet weather, how to improve the reliability, flexibility and sustainability of urban drainage system is increasingly important to ensure the safety of urban water system. The urban drainage system has characteristics of dynamic, multi-objective and uncertainty. From the perspective of watershed treatment, under the multi-objective coordination of further reducing the combined system overflow pollution and maximizing the "source -process-end" capacity of drainage system, the operation and control of the system become increasingly complex and difficult. Real time control (RTC) maximize s the storage and treatment capacity of facilities, by dynamically adjusting the control strategy according to the realtime monitoring data, and intervening in the ancillary facilities of drainage system and wastewater treatment plant, in order to provide an intelligent solution for the operation of urban drainage system. Therefore, this paper summarizes the research progress of RTC, the development of control process and strategy, control model and control algorithm, and the inspiration for applying RTC in China.


Abstract The effect of fluid flow on stress corrosion cracking of sensitized AISI 304 stainless steel was studied in air-saturated pure water and in air-saturated acidified and alkaline 0.01 M Na2SO4 solutions under open circuit conditions at 250 C, using slow strain rate tensile tests. It was found that in pure water and in acidified sodium sulfate solution the time to failure increased with increasing fluid flow velocity. However, in alkaline solution the time to failure was not affected by the fluid flow. The AC impedance measurements showed that with increasing fluid flow velocity the protective properties of the oxide film improved in both the neutral and acidified Na2SO4 solutions but not in the alkaline Na2SO4 solution.

The properties of the positive ion spectra obtained by the Voyager 2 plasma instrument from September 20, 1977, through June 19, 1978 are reviewed Voyager 2 covered a radial distance of from 1.0 to 3.3 AU. The radial evolution of the solar wind over this distance shows a general decrease in stream amplitude. There is a frequent appearance of deep rarefactions in the higher velocity regions, lasting on the order of one to two days. Globally, the proton number density varies as radial distance to the (-2.4 plus or minus 0.1) power, and the proton temperature as (-0.3 plus or minus 0.1) The alpha particle temperature remains about four times the proton temperature. In quiet regions, the alpha and proton temperatures have a tendency to equalize. There are regions beyond 1.0 AU in which the alpha bulk velocity is significantly different from the proton bulk velocity, but the amplitude of this velocity difference appears to be decreasing somewhat near 3 AU. Outwardly propagating Alfvenic fluctuations are observed at 3.3 AU, essentially unchanged from their 1.0 AU counterparts. Some interesting features of the proton distribution function occurring at a magnetic hole in the solar wind near 1.8 AU are discussed.


The study compared working and non working mother's parenting style and their child's Temperament and its effect on Behavioural problems: among school going children. The sample was gathered from mothers (working & non-working) of 400-school going Children of both genders, between ages 12years to 15years. Parenting style questionnaire, The Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire were given to mothers to assess their parenting styles and child's temperament respectively. The Strength and difficulty questionnaire was given to the teachers to screen for behavioural problem among these children. Our research concluded that children's of working and non-working mothers have behavioural problems but the children of non working mothers have severe behavioural scores which were clinically significant than compared to children of working mothers. The research concluded that working status of mother do not have effect on children behavioural problems, rather other external and social factors like peer interaction, child caregiver attitude, neighbours interaction pattern and social relations and interactions have more influence on the child's behaviour, specially, when they are in their early adolescent age. The research also concluded that temperament do not have direct effect on behavioural problems, until, the child has behavioural issues that are clinically significant and needs attention.


This research theoretically investigates the performance of a new integrated solar atmospheric water harvesting system. The system consists of a concentrated photovoltaic thermal unit (CPV/T) to capture solar radiation and produce electricity. The rejected heat is utilized to drive an alpha‐type Stirling engine and a single effect LiBr/H2O absorption cooling cycle (ACC). The power output of the Stirling engine and the CPV/T is used to drive a vapor compression refrigeration cycle (VCRC), whereas the cooling capacity of the cooling cycles is used to cool and dehumidify ambient air and generate potable water. Moreover, a heat recovery heat exchanger is employed to pre‐cool the supply air before entering the evaporator, thus increasing the water production rate. The model is validated and solved numerically. A parametric study is conducted to show the effect of a variety of ambient and operating conditions on the system's performance. The highest water production rate is found, as expected, to be in hot and humid climates where the solar radiation, the ambient temperature, and the relative humidity are high. The freshwater production exhibits a non‐monotonic behavior with increasing the air mass flow rate, and the maximum potable water production was identified. At solar radiation values of 0.6, 0.8, and 1 (kW/m2), the maximum water production was generated at air mass flow rate values of 1.6, 2.8, and 3.8 (kg/s), and the corresponding maximum water production were 13.37, 20.12, and 26.28 (L/h), respectively. It is found that this integrated system can produce up to 30 L/h under hot and humid ambient conditions, and pre‐cooling of the supplied air yields better performance under drier conditions. The proposed system is suitable for small‐scale applications where water demand is less than 180 L/day. It is found that the amount of electrical energy consumed per liter of produced water by this system is between 225 and 315 Wh/L approximately.

Leaves of Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus hystrix and Citrus microcarpa collected from Mersing, Johor were selected for this research. The extraction of these samples were carried out using three different polarities of solvents (hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol). Phytochemical screening were done with various test for each of crude extracts. The results showed that C. aurantifolia gave positive result for alkaloids, saponins, reducing sugar and carbohydrates in hexane and ethyl acetate extracts. In contrast to C. hystrix where the presence of alkaloids, steroids, reducing sugar and carbohydrates were proven in all crude extracts. Lastly, C. microcarpa showed positive result for alkaloids, triterpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, reducing sugar, carbohydrates, phenolic content, glycosides and tannins for hexane and ethyl acetate crude extracts. Through antioxidant assays measured at wavelength 234 nm, C. aurantifoliaa has the highest AOA which was 10. The scavenging effect on DPPH radical was done at the wavelength of 517 nm and C. microcarpa has the highest percentage of scavenging effect with 96.41%. Next, the non-enzymatic antioxidant assays on the determination of α-tocopherol and carotenoids showed that C. hystrix has the highest concentration of α-tocopherol (2.30 ± 0.026), while C. microcarpa has the highest concentration of carotenoids (18.40 ± 2.83).

Finally, The feasibility of this method is verified by experiments..


The residual axial strain induced in the cabled fiber is a vital factor to evaluate the reliability of optical fiber cables. However, little is known about the thermal effect on the fiber residual strain, especially on the particular short section of the fiber. In order to precisely determine the thermal effects on fiber residual strain of optical cables, a measurement method based on Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR) system is proposed. Thermal characteristics of fiber residual strain of optical fiber cables are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Measurements of the residual strain in particular short section of fiber are made with the distributed fiber sensing system based on BOTDR. Experimental results for a double-coated fiber in loose structure cable are in good agreement with those predicted from the theory. It has been found that the fiber residual strain increases linearly with the decrease of the temperature in the range from 50°C to -50°C.

Foreword Foreword Foreword Foreword Many governments, including that of Zimbabwe, are earnestly pursuing programmes to achieve gender equality in all phases of the developments process. Relevant statistical information is essential for development planning, effective project formulation, monitoring and evaluation of the status of women compared to men and identification of opportunities for the disadvantaged sex. Zimbabwe sought to address the four main areas of women and the economy, education, politics and decision making and the institutional mechanism for the advancement of women. The National Gender Policy crafted in 2001 sought to provide guidelines and institutional framework to engender all sectorial policies, programmes, projects and activities at all levels of society and economy. As a way of showing its commitment to addressing gender issues, the country had by 2010 prioritised three Millennium Development Goals, one of them being promoting gender equality and empowerment of women. This Report presents statistics on Women and Men in Zimbabwe. It aims to bring to light progress made in addressing gender issues in areas such as education, participation in decision making, access to agricultural productive services and participation in employment activities. It is the fourth publication in the series by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT), the first having been produced in 1991. The second was published in 1995 and the third in 2002. Information on women and men presented in this Report is not exhaustive. While more sex disaggregated information can be obtained from ZIMSTAT and its various publications, it is necessary to nurture close cooperation between users and producers in developing comprehensive systems of statistical information on women and men. Statistics and plans to set up a committee on Gender Statistics to enhance cooperation under the National Statistical System. ZIMSTAT is grateful to the various government departments and civil society organisations for providing data for input into this Report. This chapter analyses the age and sex composition of the Zimbabwean population. Information on the sex composition of the population is important for policy planning and strategic development for women and men. Age is important in the analysis of a population as social and economic characteristics vary with age. Different standard age groups are used and these are associated with distinct stages in life or the phenomenon being studied. For instance health indicators, age groups 0 to 1 and 15 to 49 years are used for analyzing infant mortality and maternal mortality, respectively. The province …


High-speed Solenoid Valve is the main executive body in the EHB system and has great significance to the accurate control of brake pressure which is the basis of active safety for vehicle, so an improved design becomes a necessity. Firstly, a nonlinear mathematical model is established after analyzing its working principle. Comparing the simulation data with the practical data, it is verified that the model has a high feasibility. Secondly, the influence of different factors such as the mass of valve core, spring stiffness, spring preload and coil number of turns on solenoid valve responses are analyzed. Then, these factors are optimized calculation by using genetic algorithm and the experimental researches on optimizing the parameters are done. The experimental results show that the parameters optimization of solenoid valve can greatly improve the response characteristics and the precision control of brake pressure of EHB system.


Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) provide a very powerful tool for
solving optimization problems. In the last decades, numerous
studies have been focusing on improving the performance of EAs.
However, there is a lack of studies that tackle the question of
the termination criteria. Indeed, EAs still need termination
criteria prespecified by the user. In this paper, we propose to
combine the Differential Evolution (DE) method with novel
elements, i.e., the ``Gene Matrix'' (GM), the ``Space
Decomposition'' (SD) and ``Space Rotation'' (SR) mechanisms, in
order to equip DE with an automatic termination criterion without
resort to predefined conditions. We name this algorithm
``Differential Evolution with Automatic Termination'' (DEAT).
Numerical experiments using a test bed of widely used benchmark
functions in 10, 50 and 100 dimensions show the effectiveness of
the proposed method.


Image quality is in essence based on subjective experience, and the involvement of human subjects is therefore necessary in one way or the other in order to make reliable assessments of it. This topic is of interest for Axis Communications AB -- the market leader in surveillance cameras.

In this thesis, the softcopy quality ruler method described in ISO 20462 is evaluated through a study of one specific image quality problem; human preference in the noise reduction -- texture loss space. The method involves quality or attribute judgment by comparison of test images to a series of ordered, univariate (variation in one attribute only) reference images, called ''ruler images''. Sharpness is used as reference attribute for the ruler images.

For the purpose of the thesis project, a working environment for performing subjective studies was set up. A total of 47 persons (observers) were invited to judge a set of test images varying in noise level and amount of noise reduction as well as scene content.

From the data, confidence intervals were calculated using the non-parametric bootstrap method as well as using the normal distribution. The two methods gave very similar results, and thus it could be confirmed that the data is well described by a normal distribution.

The results of the study indicate that it is possible to determine an optimum level of noise reduction for a given noise level.

For increasing noise levels, the variances of the observer judgments increase, while they decrease for increasing noise reduction levels. This difference may be explained by making the observation that increasing noise reduction levels result in increasing texture blur, which appears more similar to sharpness loss in comparison with noise. It is reasonable to assume that the uncertainty in observer judgments should be lower when comparing images with similar degradations. Therefore, it might be argued that the variability of the judgments depends to a large extent on the perceived similarities between the ruler and test images, in terms of the attribute(s) considered. If the ruler images appear similar to the test images, the variances of the judgments will be lower than for less similar ruler images and test images, and also more strongly dependent on the number of observers. In order to reduce the number of observers when testing some particular image quality attribute(s), care should be taken to use ruler images varying in an attribute similar in appearance to the test images.

Also noticeable are discrepancies between experienced (having experience in judging or evaluating images) and unexperienced observers, as concluded by a Welch t-test. When judging image quality, experienced observers at Axis, such as imaging engineers, camera designers etc., seem more tolerant to noise than unexperienced observers.

Abstract Extract The adverse public reaction to the shooting and mustering of Kaimanawa feral horses (Department of Conservation, 1995) prompted a suggestion that anaesthetising horses using a dart might be a more humane method of immobilising and moving them.


Abstr-uct-In this letter a n+-polysilicon gate PMOSFET with indium doped buried-channel is discussed. The gate length scaling of n+ -polysilicon gate buried-length PMOSFET's is limited by the channel punch-through effect. Designing shallow counterdoped layers (buried-channels) has been established as a means to reduce the undesirable short channel effects in these devices [1]-[6]. Indium, an acceptor dopant in Si, has a low diffusion coefficient and implant statistics favorable for achieving shallow doping layers [7]. Indium implants are explored (as an alternative to BFz) to counter dope the n-tub for adjusting the threshold voltage. Devices are fabricated using AT&T's 0.5 pm CMOS technology [SI but with to, = 50 A. Although no special effort has been made to optimize the n-tub or to take full advantage of the diffusion and implant characteristics of indium, excellent electrical results are obtained for devices with Leff = 0.25 PIU. Improved Vth roll-off characteristics and reduced body effect (y % 0.18 V1I2 versus yg E 0.40 V1/') in indium implanted buried channels are demonstrated over BFz implanted buriedchannels for PMOSFET's with identical long channel threshold voltages. The effects of incomplete ionization (freeze-out) of the indium acceptor states [9], [lo] on the electrical device characteristics will be demonstrated by device simulations and measurements.


Rhododendron is one of Chinese traditional flowers, which has rich resources and high ornamental value. However, the utilization of Rhododendrons in China now is extremely low, relative to the rich resources. In this paper, the technology of Seeding breeding, cutting propagation and tissue culture of Rhododendrons were summarized. It should be beneficial to the introduction and landscape application of Chinese wild Rhododendrons.


Metastable characteristics of advanced materials is gradually applied to functional utilization using their magnetic, Piezo-electric or superconducting properties. The metastable phases are to be represented by a periodic regularity of electronic distribution, which could act as a role of an abnormal structural constitution about the modulated strain field and an additional ordered diffraction in TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Pretransition phenomena as metastable characteristies in piezo-electric crystal of PZN-PT are reported. For the microscopic origin of the modulated structures, it is conjectured that orbital splitting of incomplete valence electrons in the alloying elements causes electron-phonon coupled lattice displacements through Bain distortions.


Aim: To describe the different uses of lactoferrin for a possible implementation in dentistry. Materials and Methods: An electronic search was performed in the Scopus and PubMed databases between 1997 and 2021. The keywords included in the search were "lactoferrin", "lactoferrin in vitro", "osseointegration", and "bone regeneration". Only articles in which the osteogenic properties of lactoferrin in bone regeneration were related were selected for the present literature review. During the search, several articles were observed in this field that were included as pilot studies, retrospective cohort studies, and case–control studies that referred to the clinical process. Results: A total of 12 articles, comprising seven animal studies and five in vitro studies, were chosen for the results of this literature review. Of all the articles, eight were utilized in the introduction, of which six were excluded from the results. Conclusion: Based on the current limitations of this literature review, there is inadequate evidence to support the efficacy of lactoferrin in oral surgery. However, there is existing evidence of its potential effectiveness in bone regeneration in various fields.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has recently begun to receive increased interest from both practitioners and academicians due to the well-known mandates to suppliers from major global retailers and the United States (US) Department of Defense. Though the deployment of RFID in the supply chain is relatively new, proprietary RFID systems have been utilised in the manufacturing environment since the early 1990s. This paper examines these empirical applications and presents an analysis of the benefits that have been observed in the field. This encompassing collection of six empirical applications of RFID in the manufacturing environment discusses how RFID technology is presently being utilised and its potential for use, by manufacturers to control internal operations and for supply chain management. In addition, we identify the implementation challenges and the corresponding strategies to enable RFID in the manufacturing environment. Our analysis offers insights that can be useful to practitioners who are considering RFID installations and to academicians who are studying RFID systems.


Postural hypotension is not an uncommon complaint among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients often report lightheadedness or a sense of fainting when assuming an upright position such as rising from a chair or getting out of bed. Autonomic dysfunction in PD is the main cause of postural hypotension. A 20 mmHg drop in the systolic blood pressure, and a 10 mmHg drop in the diastolic pressure upon assuming an upright position after being supine are considered significant. 1


INTRODUCTION
Both CRASH and IMPACT models have been developed in recent years to predict the outcome of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, there is no clear evidence as to how these models perform in a modern cohort of UK-patients. There is also predictive uncertainty with regards to survival rates and functional outcome in elderly (>65 yr) patients.

METHODS
Patients referred to a tertiary neuroscience center from December 2014 to January 2016 with a suspected TBI were retrospectively examined. For each model, the predicted survival and overall outcome were compared to the actual outcome on admission and at 6 mo post injury, stratified by patient age (>65 yr vs ≤65 yr).

RESULTS
A total of 161 patients met the initial criteria; mean age 65 yr (SD = 21) and 110 male. Both CRASH and IMPACT correctly predicted 6-mo mortality rates and functional outcomes in most patients (range 61.7%-82.4%), with better predictive performance for patients not accepted to the center (range 84%-98%). There was no significant difference in the initial survival of elderly patients if accepted (78% [95% CI 50.6-104.0] vs 81% [95% CI 67.8-94.8] but were lower for those not accepted (24% [95% CI 4.2-43.7] vs 76% [95% CI 63.5-88.5], P = .027).

CONCLUSION
Patients >65 yr admitted to tertiary neuroscience center had good survival rates on admission and at 6 mo. The lesser ability of CRASH and IMPACT models to predict poorer outcomes when accepted suggests that acceptance to specialist centers may be able to improve outcome and suggests more optimistic treatment and acceptance of appropriate over 65 yr should be considered.

Due to mobility and flexibility, aerial base station (AeBS) endowed with computation capacity is a promising paradigm that can bring a better quality of service (QoS) for users, especially in some situations where there is a lack of infrastructure or hotspots occur with massive users using computation-intensive multimedia services. To deploy multiple AeBSs in proper locations which would facilitate the utilization of both communication and computing resources, this paper treats each AeBS as an agent and use a multi-step multi-agent reinforcement learning network to jointly optimize task processing delay, energy consumption, and throughput by adjusting the deployment position and offloading strategy of each AeBS. The agents can be trained offline and updated online quickly according to changes in the environment, and the optimal deployment and offloading strategy can be solved quickly. Simulation results show that our algorithm can achieve nearly optimal value in a very short time.
