Introduction:
 CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has generated robust clinical responses in the treatment of relapsed and refractory hematological malignancies. While CAR T cell toxicity in the form of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is well-characterized, there is limited data describing the potential cardiovascular toxicities following CART cell therapy. The goal of this study was to characterize these cardiovascular toxicities and describe their relationship to CRS.
 Methods:
 We performed a retrospective analysis of 60 patients who received Axicabtagene ciloleucel (n=43), Tisagenlecleucel (n=16) or investigational bispecific CD19/CD20 CART cells (n=1) at the University of California Los Angeles between 2018 and 2020. The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) consensus grading system was used to identify CRS. Cardiovascular toxicities were defined as a composite of newly developed arrhythmias, clinical heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, or any cardiac death. Chi-square, Fisher's Exact test, and t-test analyses were used to identify factors associated with the development of cardiovascular toxicities following CAR T cell infusion.
 Results:
 Sixty patients with a mean age on admission of 54.94 (±19) years underwent CAR T cell therapy with a median time to follow-up or death of 206 days (Table 1). Overall, 15 patients developed grade I CRS, 21 patients developed grade II CRS, and 7 patients developed grade III CRS. No patients progressed past grade III CRS. In total, 14 patients (23.3%) developed adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including arrhythmias (n=10), clinical signs of heart failure (n=2), and acute coronary syndrome (n=2). In a 2-sided Fisher's Exact Test, the grade of CRS developed was significantly associated with the development of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in our patient cohort (p=0.014). Those developing cardiovascular events were also more likely to be taking beta blockers prior to the initiation of CAR T cell therapy (p=0.039). There was however no association between the development of cardiovascular toxicity and an increased composite cardiovascular risk combining hypertension, stroke, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure (p=0.30). There was also no association between cardiovascular toxicity and a higher lifetime anthracycline dose (p=0.99), the type of CAR T cell therapy (p=0.073) or the presenting cancer type (p=0.65).
 Conclusions:
 Following CAR T cell therapy, cardiovascular adverse events are common and occur in association with CRS. These data support the need for a comprehensive pre-treatment cardiac evaluation and a cardiovascular surveillance strategy post-CAR T cell therapy.

. The research aims are as follows: describing the student's learning motivation and mathematics-creative thinking ability; testing their correlations; and calculating the contribution percentage of the learning motivation to the increase in the student's mathematics-creative thinking ability. The total sample size is 619 students from ten primary schools. Data was collected by two methods, as follows: a questionnaire and a test. There are sixteen questions in the learning motivation questionnaire and one open-ended question on the student's mathematics creative thinking ability test. The data is analysed quantitatively. The correlation between the learning motivation and the students' mathematics-creative thinking ability was analysed by using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation with ⍺ = 5% and N = 619. The research showed that learning motivation and five of its indicators have positive and significant correlations and have contributed to the increase with a student's mathematics creativity ability and three of its indicators.


Abstract The 'Danube "Schwabs"', the name given to the German populations in former Hungary, is also a common term for the people in the seven different regions settled mainly by Germans during the eighteenth century.


The research shows that the regularity for the minima of variational integrals with the integrand satisfies the growth conditions of Muckenhoupt weight and by making use of the reverse Holder inequality with weight we can obtain such a regularity result:there exists p1p,such that local minima u∈w1,p1loc(Ω,w) whenever there is w1,ploc(Ω,w).


In San Francisco, a groundswell of tenant activism contributed to the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Born in ideas of democracy and justice, in struggles against inequality and poverty, tenants used the resources of the San Francisco Housing Authority, the local agency in charge of public housing, to build a movement around more and better public housing, useful jobs, civil rights, and child and health care. Public housing tenants and their allies even demanded control of public housing funds and policy making and a more humane urban redevelopment program. Female tenants took the lead in marshalling private and public resources in these organizing campaigns. Tenant militancy peaked at the moment when local and national efforts by tenants met the cuts of the Nixon administration, thus posing considerable financial and legislative constraints on tenant goals of expanding the rights of citizens.


Bolt loosening monitoring is of great significance to warrant the reliability and safety of bolted structures. The electromechanical impedance (EMI)-based evaluation is effective to perceive bolt loosening. However, EMI signals are highly prone to contamination by temperature fluctuation. Deep learning (DL) based EMI is a promising technique for accurate damage detection in the temperature variation environment. However, DL needs a lot of data to train, which is usually very difficult to collect sufficient structural damage data in real word scenarios. This paper proposed a few-shot EMI monitoring method based on a modified prototype network for bolt looseness detection under temperature varying environment. The approach features a conversion method of the impedance signal to image based on the Hank matrix. A modified prototype network is then developed. An experimental study was carried out on a bolted joint. EMI signals under different bolt loosening conditions were measured in a temperature variation environment. An impedance analyzer and a self-made small lightweight monitoring device were both used to measure the EMI signals to test the cross domain scenario. The proposed method was compared with the transfer learning methods and other typical few-shot learning methods. The experiment results show that the proposed few-shot EMI method can obviously improve the monitoring accuracy of bolt loosening with few samples.


This essay will explore the musical culture and customs that come from the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago. Some of the traditions examined include the usage of the steel pan as a percussive instrument, the evolution of Carnival music in Trinidad, and the various types of poetic styles used in calypso songs. In an effort to understand the development and importance of musical practices in Trinidad and Tobago, it will be vital to take an anthropological and historical look at the two islands. This means learning about how the various cultures of people came to exist in Trinidad and Tobago and how the influences of multiple ethnicities combined to create unique musical sounds that can always be identified as coming from Trinidad or Tobago. This essay will reflect a compilation of information from literary works, documentaries and descriptions of historical events in order to gain a clear understanding of how the musical culture in Trinidad and Tobago came to be what it is. The two small West Indian islands of Trinidad and Tobago are home to some of the most influential musical styles in the world. The island's national instrument, the steel pan drum, and everything calypso oriented is what truly put these Caribbean islands on the map and turned Trinidad and Tobago into a world destination for tourists all over the world who yearn to hear the rhyming talents of calypsonians or enjoy the complex rhythms of the steel pan ensembles. The unique blend of cultures that populate the small West Indian created genres of music that are that showcases the beauty of African, French, Spanish, and English and East Indian musical styles. The way in which the music of these various cultures mixed together is what makes the history of the islands fascinating and worth understanding. But the way in which these cultures ended up coming together to create such intriguing music was nothing short of tragic making the history of the music even more fascinating. Trinidad and Tobago are two Caribbean islands off the coast of Venezuela. Present day Trinidad and Tobago is populated by people mostly of African, East Indian, European, or Chinese descent. The pair of islands had a colonial past that involved European rulership and African enslavement. The European groups in Trinidad and Tobago originate from the islands being controlled by Spanish, British and French conquerors. The African population stems from the existence of slavery on the islands from 1777 until 1834. And after the emancipation of slavery when the option to of labor by force was no longer available, the British, the European power in control of Trinidad at the time, sought out East Indian peasants to fulfill the duties that the Africans were no longer carrying out. During the years 1833 to 1883, some 143,000 East Indians populated the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago (Manuel 183). Despite the fact that how many of these cultures came to exist in Trinidad was rather tragic, it was mostly because of the dreadful past of Trinidad and Tobago that some of the most admired musical styles from the Caribbean were birthed. Some of the most popular music forms from Trinidad include the steel pan drum, the annual Carnival celebration, and the array of different traditions that are encompassed in calypso music genre. The rich history of how each of these traditions began and evolved is relevant in analyzing how humans and societal factors directly affect musical culture. A prime example of how social conditions and already established cultures influence music is in the Carnival tradition that takes place every year in Trinidad. The Carnival tradition is a two-day celebration that takes place in the Trinidadian capital city of Port-O-Prince. The event lasts two days, and it occurs on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. The cultures that have most notably influenced the Carnival are the African and the French. The overall structure of the annual Carnival traces back to sixteenth century France. It was a festival celebrated by the Roman Catholic population in Paris, and it was a way to prepare for the day that marked the beginning of Lent (Pierre). The West African heritage and cultural practices took influence over the French Carnival and led it to becoming the more secular event that it is today. The first Carnival in Trinidad took place during the nineteenth century when large numbers of French Caribbeans migrated to Trinidad from neighboring islands like Dominica, Martinique, and Haiti. The some 33,000 Africans and 1,400 Frenchmen that populated Trinidad created what is known as a creole society. The definition of the word creole evolved throughout history as African identity in the Americas transformed and became more complex. But the widely accepted definition of the word in the present day is that a creole society is one that maintains both European, specifically French, and African traditions and values. Other places that have a yearly carnival and a heavy influence of creole is in New Orleans, Louisiana and in Haiti. Mardi Gras, the well-known carnival in New Orleans occurs on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday just as it does in Trinidad. And in Haiti, festivities last for several weeks before the start of Lent (Eble 41). Though the practice of slavery made it so that skin color played a huge part in determining one's role in Trinidadian society, there was also an interesting hierarchy of class among the European inhabitants. At the time that the French arrived, the British maintained power over the island despite the fact that they were largely outnumbered. This led to the suppression of the Carnival celebration by the English government. Because of the slave status that Africans lived under, the Carnival in Trinidad was originally nothing more than just a masquerade festival for French aristocrats to socialize with one another (Manuel 186). With the emancipation of the slaves in 1843, more of an African influence permeated the event. As a result, the British government on the island introduced even harsher restrictions to the event. These restrictions led to the Carnival splitting into two separate events (Dudley 10). One of these separate events was the outdoor street Carnival with festivities available to all of the public. This Carnival's participants mostly included the lower-class Afro-Trinidadians and those of mixed African and French heritage who were known as coloreds. The other version of the Carnival was reserved for the more privileged members of society. This included mostly European and some upper class colored constituents (Dudley 10). Of the two, the outdoor Carnival that allowed for the involvement of lower class Afro-Trinidadians became the more popular celebration. This was due to the extravagant costumes, colorful themes, energetic African dancing, spirited chantwell singing and of course the steel pan orchestral arrangements (Micallef and Johnson). This Carnival was specifically known as the jamette Carnival. The word jamette derives from the French word diametre meaning "boundary" and specifically refers to those who exist "outside of the boundary of respectability" (Dudley 13). The characteristics that differentiated the jamette rendition of the Carnival from that of the original masquerade event that was observed by mostly just the French was the stylistic African dancing, the kalenda stick fighting, and the enhancement of costumes, which changed from just masks to colorful full-body wardrobe that fit into a specific theme (Manuel 186). The overall spirit of the event is to acknowledge the liberation of the Afro-Trinidadians from the forced labor and hard life they endured because of the time they spent as slaves. In the documentary Calypso Dreams, Brother Akil, a Trinidadian historian, referred to Carnival as essentially being a "celebration of emancipation from plantation slavery for the African population" (Dunn and Horne). Kalenda, also commonly spelled as calinda, was essentially a martial art form that was practiced by the Afro-Trinidians during their enslavement and after emancipation. Kalenda stylistically resembles the combative discipline of fencing. It involves two opponents battling each other using a single bamboo stick as their primary weapon. The goal of each fighter was too draw the blood of an opponent in order to be declared the victor of the battle. The relevance of this fight form was that fighters involved in a battle were always accompanied by pulsating rhythms. Many of the rhythmic patterns were used in Carnival and in steelpan orchestras (Dudley 24). Part of the kalenda tradition was that each fighter would come with an ensemble of percussionists and chantwell singers. Musicians that took part in kalenda events were known collectively as kalenda bands. The role of the musicians in these bands was not only to provide music for the event, but to increase the momentum of the fighter they were accompanying. The music helped to motivate and also to taunt. The chantwell singers would gloat about the skills and abilities of their fighter while also 'toasting' the other competitor (Dudley 24). Toasting was originally a West African tradition that the slaves brought with them to the Americas (Pitts 146). It was an oral tradition that involved rhyming in a melodic and rhythmic way in order to tell stories, recite poetry and exchange insults. The chantwell singers of the kalenda bands would use this technique as a way to contribute and feel involved in the battle. Chantwell singers incorporated rhymes into their wordplay when bragging and teasing. In addition, the poetic style used by the chantwell singers is thought to be what inspired the calypso singers who participated in the tent competitions, which will be discussed later on (Charter 162). Then kalenda drummers also played specific rhythmic styles that originated in West Africa. These were polyrhythmic patterns played durin


The national slowdown in air travel and transportation demand has increased the probability of a long-term decline in the regional air transportation industry. Initial layoffs announced by USAirways include local workers from flight attendants to machinists. The long planned maintenance facility for USAirways appears less certain than in the past. The impact on the local economy will depend on the magnitude of change in the local airline industry. The total impact on the local economy will exceed the direct impact of the layoffs and will likely be felt across a range of other industries within the region. The decline can be estimated with various tools and economic models. The Center for Social and Urban Research maintains the Pittsburgh REMI model, which is a detailed model of the regional economy. The REMI model can be used to quantify the impact of anticipated changes in the regional economy, from new factories or expansions to major plant closings or layoffs. The REMI model can simulate the total impact of a significant decline in the regional air transportation industry. Here a REMI simulation is run to estimate the total impact of potential air transportation industry layoffs of 3,000 local workers over the next year. This simulated mass layoff is not meant to reflect specific plans by local firms but is used to illustrate the use of the REMI University of Pittsburgh


High energy spectroscopies are well suited to address the controversial issue of Cu valence in the new high Tc superconductors, as they can discriminate between various possible Cu configurations (d8, d9 or d10). XAS, XPS and AES spectra of CuI, CuII and CuIII compounds show that, as a results of hybridization, the actual Cu d-count can be quite different from what is expected from simple considerations based on the formal valence. A value of ~ 9.3. is inferred electrons for the superconducters. Discrepancies in the published results are attributed to insufficient sample characterization : we propose to adopt the O is XPS signal as a standard probe of surface condition in these materials.

To evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of young breast cancer patients with an ER of 1%–10%. Breast cancer patients aged ≤35 years old were selected and classified into three groups, ER-negative group, ER-low positive group (ER positivity: 1%–10%) and ER-high positive group (ER positivity: ≥10%), to compare their clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. Of the 1387 patients assessed, 30.4% were ER-negative, 4.3% were ER-low positive, and 65.3% were ER-high positive. There was no difference in age, Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) stage, histological type, adjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant radiation therapy among the three groups (p > 0.05). A higher histological grade and greater Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) positivity were observed in the ER-low positive group than in the ER-high positive group (p < 0.001). The number of patients with Progesterone Receptor (PR) negative in the ER-low positive group was between the other two groups. The recurrence rate of breast cancer in the ER-low positive group was 27.1%, which was similar to that of the ER-negative group (28%; p > 0.05) but higher than the ER-high positive group (21.4%; p = 0.03). After a median follow-up of 74 months, the ER-high positive group had the longest Disease Free Survival (DFS) compared with the ER-negative group (p < 0.0001) and ER-low positive group (p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in DFS between the latter two groups (p = 0.73). Similarly, the ER-high positive group had the longest Overall Survival (OS) than the ER-negative group (p < 0.0001) and the ER-low positive group (p < 0.05), while there was no statistical difference in OS between the latter two groups (p = 0.77). After endocrine therapy, no improvement in DFS (p = 0.71) and OS (p = 0.54) was observed in the ER-low positive group. In young breast cancer patients, the clinicopathological characteristics of the ER-low positive group were different from the ER-high positive group but were more similar to the ER-negative group. The DFS and OS were shorter than the ER-high group, and despite receiving endocrine therapy, DFS and OS of the ER-low positive group were not significantly prolonged.


In a democracy the significance of the media as a primary information source cannot be over accentuated, but it cannot be denied on the fact that democracy requires citizens to be informed for an effective administration and governance within the ambit of egalitarianism. Undoubtedly, commercial and technology progress are continuously changing our perception, still both print and digital media play a vital role in opinion building. The administration and regulatory mechanisms are sort of adopted at various levels to improve the role of media, however, the focal thrust of this paper is based on how the regulatory mechanisms are not adequate therefore, again and again, being refined and reformed. In essence, it is argued in this article that the rationales for regulation (why regulate?) and the objectives of regulation (with what end in mind?) have been insufficiently addressed. Hence, the sophisticated regulatory mechanisms are failed to sustain the clear goals of the mass media across the globe. With this in mind, it is both inevitable and proper that the focus of this study of media regulation is confined to a pre-eminently comparative analysis of media regulations across the world.


The work to be described here was undertaken by the author in order to provide accurate data on thermal conduction in gaseous mixtures of deuterium and hydrogen at ordinary temperatures, to be applied to the analysis of such mixtures by the thermal conductivity method developed by A. Farkas and L. Farkas (1934) and others; and also to make an accurate direct determination of the thermal conductivity of pure deuterium. With regard to the latter quantity, the values obtained by other workers to date vary widely, showing a maximum difference of the order of 11%.


Vegetable transpiration is one of the most important processes in the soil-plant-atmosphere-continuum (SPAC) water cycle. The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the efficiency of the different research methods, (2) investigate and quantify evapotranspiration and its components in an alpine watershed from April to October 2009. We investigated evapotranspiration and its components in the Gongga Mountains, which are located on the southeastern fringe of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, using summed components methods, sap-flow, and stable isotope techniques. The annual evapotranspiration calculated by summed components methods was 747 mm accounted for 50% of the total water input. In which, soil evaporation was account for 6% of the total evapotranspiration. The vegetation transpiration calculated by sap-flow techniques accounted for 19% of total evapotranspiration. The intercepted rainfall evaporation accounted for 75% of total evapotranspiration.


Objectives  Audit and feedback on prescribing patterns is widely used to improve some aspects of prescribing. It is not known whether this strategy increases primary care paediatricians' (PCPs') practice quality. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of postal prescriber feedback on the prescribing patterns of Andalucian PCPs.

Some pioneering health care organizations are taking the innovative step of capitalizing on their intranets, private networks that use Internet technologies and protocols, for human resources purposes. These providers and payers plan to use their intranets to enable employees to enroll a new family member in a benefit plan or check how many vacations days they have left.


ABSTRACT Standing atop the cliff face of the Mogao Caves is a series of stupas, the most complete of which is the so-called Hall of the Heavenly Kings 天王堂. The stupa is remarkable for its domed ceiling and esoteric iconography that contrast dramatically with cave architecture at Mogao. Although identified as the 'Hall of Heavenly Kings,' disagreement persists about the structure's name, dating, and visual program. This article reviews the conflicting evidence previously presented by scholars to propose an alternative hypothesis based on new research exploring esoteric Buddhism and art at Dunhuang. As with the majority of esoteric art in Mogao Caves from the Tang and Five Dynasties, this research also supports the hypothesis that the content and pictorial program in the Hall of Heavenly Kings are in fact not Tibetan-influenced, but rather signify the tradition of the 'three ācāryas' of Tang China (Śubhākarasiṃha, Vajrabodhi, and Amoghavajra), ultimately derived from the Pallava Dynasty and, crucially, imported into the Hexi Corridor before the Tibetan conquest.


ABSTRACT Parent involvement in early childhood education has been researched extensively in many countries around the world. However, there is a lack of research on this topic in Jordan, as well as in Arab countries in general. The current study sought to explore the views of Jordanian parents on their involvement in their children's education. Furthermore, the study aimed to find the influence of parent gender and academic qualification on parent involvement. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 178 Jordanian parents of children attending private kindergartens in Amman using a questionnaire consisting of 30 items across three domains (supportive home learning environment, direct school contact activities, and inhibited involvement). The results showed that Jordanian parents' involvement level was high in both supportive home learning environment activities and direct school contact activities. Parents, however, reported experiencing barriers to involvement. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant association between parent gender and parent involvement, but parent educational level was not significantly associated with parent involvement. The limitations and implications of these findings were discussed.


Calcium is essential to mollusk's life, because is associated with shell formation and metabolic processes that are essential to maintain their homeostasis. The aim of this work was to verify the mobilization of calcium in the haemolymph and shell of Biomphalaria glabrata (strain BH) exposed to different calcium carbonate concentrations. Sixty days old snails were used for this study, distributed in five groups: four groups exposed to different concentrations (20, 40, 60, 80 mg/L) of calcium carbonate and one control group. The exposition time was forty-five days. Fortnightly, the snails were sacrificed by cardiac puncture for haemolymph extraction. The concentration of calcium was determined in the haemolymph, using diagnosis kits (Doles Reagentes®) and for the calcium content in the shell, a modified volumetric method of complexing was employed. The results showed an increase of the calcium content in haemolymph and a decrease in shell of snails exposed to 15 days of 20mg/L of calcium carbonate. In the other exposed groups, the calcium concentration in the haemolymph was inversely proportional to the amount of calcium in the shell. We conclude that in snails exposed to different amounts of calcium, mobilization in the hemolymph and in the shell occurs according to the amount of calcium available.


Stress and strain of structures can be calculated precisely today by numerical methods. It is also important, however, to obtain a macroscopic view of force flow in structures. In this paper, the definition of "Relative Rigidity" was introduced, and using this concept, the expression of force flow in structures was derived. As a relative rigidity has a tensor value which has positive principal values, it can be designated by a proper ellipsoid which can be called "rigidity ellipsoid". Moreover, Saint Venant's Principle was interpreted by the decay of above mensioned force flow, and an example and a counter example of this principle were presented numerically.


We introduce the concept of identity workspaces, defined as institutions that provide a holding environment for individuals' identity work. We propose that institutions offering reliable social defenses, sentient communities, and vital rites of passage are likely to be experienced as identity workspaces. The fluidity of contemporary corporate environments and the movement toward individually driven careers has generated an increased need for identity work, while concurrently rendering corporations less reliable as spaces in which to conduct it. As a result, we posit that business schools are increasingly invested with the function of identity workspaces. The conceptual framework presented here provides a lens to better understand how and why business schools are called upon to fulfill a function of growing importance—developing management education that goes beyond influencing what managers know and do, and supports them in understanding and shaping who they are.


Network intrusion detection is of great importance in the research field of information security in computer networks. In this paper, we concentrate on how to automatically detect the network intrusion behavior utilizing fuzzy support vector machine. After analyzing the related works of the proposed paper, we introduce the main characterics of fuzzy support vector machine, and demonstrate its formal description in detail. Next, the proposed intrusion detection system is organized as five modules, which are Data source, AAA protocol, FSVM module located in local computer, Guest computer and Terminals. Particularly, the intrusion detection module is constructed by four sections, which are data gathering section, data pre-processing section, intrusion detecting section and decision response section. Then, the intrusion detection algorithm based on fuzzy support vector machine is implemented by training process and testing process. Utilizing this algorithm, a sample in testing data can be judged whether it is belonged to network intrusion behavior. Finally, experimental results verify the effectiveness of our method comparing with other methods under different metric.


In this paper, we classify all the hyperbolic non-compact Coxeter poly-topes of finite volume combinatorial type of which is either a pyramid over a product of two simplices or a product of two simplices of dimension greater than one. Combined with results of Kaplinskaja [5] and Esselmann [3] this completes the classification of hyperbolic Coxeter n-polytopes of finite volume with n + 2 facets.

It has been discovered that there existed cold type wheat, warm type wheat and intermediate type wheat in natural world through observations and measurements of wheat canopy temperature (plant temperature) for over 10 years. Canopy temperature of cold type wheat was comparable to or always lower than that of check wheat from year to year; on the contrary, canopy temperature of warm type wheat was always higher than that of check wheat. Canopy temperature of intermediate type wheat had strikingly polymorphism, i.e., there were canopy temperature fluctuation, consistently lower canopy temperature like cold type wheat and consistently higher canopy temperature like warm type wheat in different years. The excellent adaptability of cold type wheat to a wide range of meteoro-ecological conditions has been found through further studies, i.e., under normal weather conditions, the activity of cold type wheat was stronger, metabolic function was better, senescence was lighter than those of other wheat types.


Three different chilling-required strawberry cultivars were adopted in the experiment.The course of flower bud differentiation was observed and the content changing of total soluble sugar,reducing sugar,starch and soluble protein were measured during flower bud differentiation.The results indicated that the amounts of total soluble sugar,starch and soluble protein during the bud differentiation showed a similar tendency among three cultivars.The total sugar and reducing sugar content were steadily increased.There was little change in the content of starch before the initial stage but significant increase and then decrease during the period of flower cluster differentiation.The soluble protein was significantly decreased before the initial stage but increased and then decreased during the period of flower cluster differentiation.The content of soluble sugar,reducing sugar and starch of long chilling-required cultivars was higher than that of short chilling-required cultivars during the differentiation period but the content of soluble proteins of short chilling-required cultivars was lower than that of long chilling-required cultivars.


Abstarct Random constraint satisfaction problems play an important role in computer science and combinatorics. For example, they provide challenging benchmark examples for algorithms, and they have been harnessed in probabilistic constructions of combinatorial structures with peculiar features. In an important contribution (Krzakala et al. 2007, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci.), physicists made several predictions on the precise location and nature of phase transitions in random constraint satisfaction problems. Specifically, they predicted that their satisfiability thresholds are quite generally preceded by several other thresholds that have a substantial impact both combinatorially and computationally. These include the condensation phase transition, where long-range correlations between variables emerge, and the reconstruction threshold. In this paper we prove these physics predictions for a broad class of random constraint satisfaction problems. Additionally, we obtain contiguity results that have implications for Bayesian inference tasks, a subject that has received a great deal of interest recently (e.g. Banks et al. 2016, Proc. 29th COLT).


IN a paper on the Classification of the Reptilia (Goodrich, 1916) it was maintained that this Class is not a simple monophyletic group, but is composed of three main divisions: first a basal group of relatively primitive forms, the' Protosauria, derived from some amphibian-like ancestor and retaining the' complete bony roof of the temporal region of the skull; and two div~ging branches, the Theropsida and the Sauropsida (Huxley's original term used in a restricted sense). The branch Theropsida (including the orders Mesosauria, Ichthy~osauria, Plesiosauria Pelycosauria, Dicynodontia, Theriodontia, and',related forms) leads towards the Class Mammalia, and has only one temporal fossa pierced in the roof of the skull. Following Osborn (1903) these reptiles are often called the Synapsida. The branch Sauropsida (including the orders Eosuchia, Protorosauria, Rhyncho-cephalia, Squamata [placed here on the assumption that they have lost one or both of the temporal arches], Pseudosuchia, Phytosauria, Crocodilia, Ptero-sauria, Saurischia, Ornithischia) leads towards the Class Aves. In the. Sauropsida two temporal fossae are developed, and they are often called the Diapsida (Osborn, 1903). The general conclusion that the Reptilia have diverged into these two main branches with synapsidan and diapsidan skulls had already been accepted by many authorities, and the chief object of my paper was to show that this conclusion was further strongly supported by evidence derived from the structure of the heart and of the skeleton of the hind-foot. arches 1930) little need


Vertical and horizontal strokes with imagery, the first calligraphic criterion since the end of the Han Dynasty, refers to the associative imagery from the combinational relations among calligraphic strokes. Its establishment benefited from the perfection of the cursive script and was then applied to all calligraphy fonts. The imagery, which is from a very wide range of sources, can describe all aspects of calligraphy. Meanwhile, it is also some kind of psychological needs.


As a science watcher and scientist, hardly a day goes by without encountering some interesting tidbit that forms the nucleus for further investigation on my part. It is also quite common to encounter the volleys and serves, as practices and so-called ''evidence-based guidelines'' are supported or refuted in the scientific and lay press for being appropriate, or not, depending upon the latest analysis or interpretation of a series of events or new experimental results. Consider for a moment the recent flurry of articles on the value of mammography, the utility of robotic or computer-assisted surgery, or whether statins and vitamin supplementation should be more widely used. We generally refine our applications and use of the modality based on the current knowledge base, which itself is not static, but is a moving target as we learn, and not infrequently re-learn, something about an intervention or therapy. Some of these applications and nuggets of knowledge can be seemingly quite tangential or far afield and no less complex than attempting to unravel the details of the big bang from which it is believed the universe and our very existence arose. Modern medicine is based on allopathic principles, which Webster's Dictionary defines as ''a system of medical practice that aims to combat disease by use of remedies (as drugs or surgery) producing effects different from or incompatible with those produced by the disease being treated; a system of medical practice making use of all measures that have proved of value in treatment of disease.'' 1 We administer drugs at therapeutic doses to treat various conditions and, although we are becoming increasingly adept at creating designer drugs and achieving better targeting of the specific disease or process we intend to treat, we are inevitably also accepting a series of side effects and adverse effects of treatment. These events occur in large part because of the effects of these drugs and their metabolites at sites and receptors distant from the originally intended target.


Hardly a day goes by without some minor or major news report about "hackers." Cyber warfare, Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, Guy Fawkes masks, and leaked information have become catch phrases that seem to matter and that seem to sell. In rare cases the protagonists are glorified, sometimes they are treated with interest and many times they are still stereotyped as anti-social, possibly dangerous teenage boys holding disproportionate power in their hands. Much needed differentiations between hackers, whistleblowers and activists are more often than not swept under the carpet. Instead, the individuals or collectives are either praised as heroes of the digital age or personalized as the troll, the intruder, the freak, the criminal, the spy, the enemy, and the terrorist all at once. Anonymous, Aaron Swartz, WikiLeaks, Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, to mention only a few whose stories continue to travel around the globe's newsfeeds.


Compared to cars designed in the '80s or in the early '90s, new cars exhibit major improvements, especially in terms of driver assistance and road handling. To quantify the influence of these developments on driver behavior, a study was carried out on a test track with two cars of different generations in the summer of 2004. 36 male drivers, from 28 to 52 years old, were recruited in the general public to participate to the experiment. They were dispatched in two homogenous groups. For each group, drivers were asked to drive twice the same car: the first time, they familiarized freely with the car and the road during about one hour ("free driving phase"); three weeks later, they were invited to drive on the same road as if they were late or in a hurry ("rush driving phase"). The track is divided in two portions: a "main road" (3.5 km) and a "secondary sinuous road" (1.9 km). There is no traffic on the test track. Drivers' actions on the car's controls were recorded and synchronized with dynamic parameters and video recordings. This paper is focused on the influence of car modernity and driving consigns on longitudinal and lateral solicitations of the car. Driver behavior is analyzed in terms of longitudinal acceleration, deceleration (braking) and lateral acceleration when negotiating short curves.


Recently, the number of voluntary community sport clubs has increased and young people are expected to act as volunteer coaches. As a result, there is a need to study youth volunteer management. The purpose of this study was to clarify the leadership behaviors desired of club leaders by student volunteers involved in the field of teaching sports. The research framework set volunteer students as followers and club managers as leaders through the use of SL theory. The research method involved interviews with seven K Sports University students involved in volunteer coaching. The survey content included an overview of the club, personal attributes of students, readiness for volunteer work ( composed of abilities and motivation towards the activities ) , and leadership behavior among club leaders. The two aspects of leadership behavior measured were expected leadership behavior ( "Expected LB" ) and actual perceived leadership behavior ( "Actual LB" ) , with regards to variations perceived between the start of the volunteer period and the time of interview. A resulting change in the student volunteers' "Expected LB" was observed over time. In conclusion, it became clear that club managers must grasp changes in volunteer student readiness and alter their leadership behavior.

The effects of YBa2Cu3O72d ~YBCO! cap layers on the magnetic and electronic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 ~LSMO! underlayers was determined by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques. The YBCO caps alter the LSMO in a way that effectively decreases the concentration of La at the LSMO/YBCO interface. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.@S0021-8979 ~00!62908-0#


We present an approach to the question of evaluating worm defenses against future, yet unseen, and possibly defense-aware worm behavior. Our scheme employs model checking to produce worm propagation sequences that defeat a worm defense of interest. We demonstrate this approach using an exemplar collaborative worm defense, in which LANs share alerts about encountered infections. Through model checking experiments, we then generate propagation sequences that are able to infect the whole population in the modeled network. We discuss these experimental results and also identify open problems in applying formal methods more generally in the context of worm quarantine research


"Hard cases," Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. once said, make "bad law." So let's start with an easy case--in fact something that probably doesn't even deserve the title of "case": A woman walks into a bakery. She says to the baker, "I need a cake for my wedding ceremony next week." The baker replies, "Sorry, I'm just too busy. I can't do it." The woman sighs and says, "Oh well, I'll find someone else. Thanks" Something like this probably happens a lot--and life goes on. The baker in this story seems to be doing well, so he's not going out of business anytime soon. And the woman, we hope, is able to find another baker to bake the cake for her wedding day. Like I said: an easy case, probably not a case at all. What's the big deal? It would still be an easy case, I think, if the baker simply said that he was tired, or that he didn't feel like it--life would still go on. Now let me add some new facts, which may make the story into a case, but still (I think) an easy one: A woman walks into the bakery. She says to the baker, "I need a cake for my wedding ceremony next week." The baker replies, "Sorry, we don't serve women here. I can't do it." Whoa! Now we have a case, but still an easy case. Put aside the legal complexities of what the claim, actually, would amount to: but isn't this gender discrimination? The reason the baker can't bake the cake isn't because he's busy or tired or doesn't feel like it. It's because (it seems)


A compact triple‐mode dielectric resonator (DR) bandpass filter (BPF) based on a single waveguide cavity is proposed, while three resonant modes of a single cavity are classified as a TM mode and a pair of hybrid degenerate modes (HE modes). Two HE degeneration modes in a single metal cavity are excited by using an off‐centered DR approach. They work together to constitute a three‐pole passband with a fractional bandwidth of 2.7% at the central frequency of 2.53 GHz. To verify the proposed idea, the proposed triple‐mode DR BPF is fabricated by using silver plated aluminum metal cavity, and the simulated and measured results are in good agreement. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In 2009, the Vito field was discovered in more than 4,000 ft of water approximately 150 miles offshore from New Orleans, Louisiana. The project produces from reservoirs nearly 30,000 feet below sea level. This paper introduces the challenges of the multidiscipline project from a project management perspective and to compliment and introduce the several other Vito Floating Production System (FPS) papers submitted to OTC 2023 which are listed in the references of this papar.
 The original Vito project execution strategy was to replicate the mega-project of Appomattox. As the industry and market began to change in 2015, the project faced significant financial hurdles, and the project team decided to refresh the design concept to reduce cost and simplify. The new design included a smaller FPS, simplified operating model, and simplified subsea equipment. This allowed the project to open the contracting strategy to include more options including different fabrication sites, smaller offshore installation vessels, and include more vendor options in various disciplines.
 The Vito host, subsea system, and export were redesigned with the mindset of "simpler = safer = cost competitive". The host was radically reduced and limited to a 10,000 st single deck lift enabling simplified integration and pre-commissioning at the ground level to optimize work pace. The mooring system was streamlined to remove on-vessel winching equipment and storage, simplifying the hull and utilizing common anchor handler vessels for host installation. A simplified Subsea Umbilical Riser and Flowline (SURF) design was competitively scoped by focusing on minimum amount of equipment to safely gather and transport the fluids and minimum amount of equipment to manage flow assurance risks. The export pipelines leveraged industry capabilities to simplify the design and contracting approach. The simplified minimum technical scope for the topsides and subsea reduced operations personnel needed offshore and upskilling the operations staff enabled a simplified overall design concept.
 The world is dynamic and when changes are extreme, mega-projects must be reworked and mobilized for the new environment. Vito project is a story of change, simplification, and adaptation.


The Federal German Cabinet has linked its decision to come to the financial aid of VFW-Fokker with a demand that VFW-Fokker and MBB shareholders keep discussions open on a merger. It has been the Federal Government's view that state ownership or control is not the best way to re-adapt the structure of the German aerospace industry to the requirements of extremely complex future projects and secure a firm base for a competitive posture. The Government, it is noted, has clearly declared itself in favor of a merger between MBB and VFW-Fokker, with the aim of achieving a competitive aerospace industry organization with a regionally balanced operating structure, so that jobs in the German aerospace industry will be insured for a long period of time. The merger, however, is only one element in the reorganized aerospace industry of the future. The developed and broader European basis in order to attain a durable position on the world market.


Understanding the origins of formal and informal institutions of cooperation and regulation and their long-lasting impact on market exchange and technological investment is one of the most pressing questions in law, economics and history. Accordingly, despite the different angles considered by different disciplines, the notion that institutions emerge endogenously in the face of both welfare-enhancing and rent-seeking motives has recently come to be an accepted paradigm. Yet, despite this convergence, an even more vigorous effort in inquiring the determinants and the effects of institutional change is needed in order to guide legal and institutional reforms. The aim of this chapter is to substantiate this desideratum and, at the same time, to provide a new interdisciplinary research agenda.


In the WIND-FLEX project a high bit rate, up to 100 Mbit/s, indoor modem architecture providing a wireless access to the Internet is developed and researched. The system is jointly optimised between baseband functions and MAC/DLC layer offering adaptivity, flexibility and reconfigurability in run time. This paper specifies main parameters, requirements and candidate schemes for the system. Especially, architectures for an adaptive OFDM scheme, ad-hoc network and RF/IF subsystem are discussed.


Hexagon socket head bolts are widely used in many engineering fields as fasteners and are common and important parts for engineering, but for some hexagon socket head bolts it is still tedious to build the 3D models and assess their reliability. It is important for a hexagon socket head bolt to do reliability assessment, especially for some hexagon socket head bolt that under complex load conditions. In order to improve the reliability and stabilization, a hexagon socket head bolt reliability assessment method is introduced and an example is given, and the example shows that do reliability assessment is useful and effective.


Modern productions are moving towards full automation of product manufacturing, however, for now some physical
processes cannot be fully automated, and that is why it remains some manual performance using labor resources. Similar processes occur both in mass production and in individual or experimental production.
In the startup project LineBar, it was proposed to use a cycloidal gearbox to increase the torque of the stepper motor, however, due to the complexity of the design, it was required to develop the tolling to reduce the time for assembly operation settlement. Augmented reality technologies were used to implement such a task.
This paper presents the tooling development process. It is described a preparation of 3D model of cycloidal gearbox for Unity application, which has all the necessary functions to create the tooling. The process of basic functionality development is shown, which is a display of 3D model on prepared marker, assembly and disassembly animation of cycloidal gearbox. To expand the functionality, the ability to step-by-step switch the animation of gear assembly has been added. Animations are controlled using the created "Animation", "Forward" and "Back" buttons.
The process of the annotation development function of 3D models is described, namely the creation of 3D annotation objects, the development of the information display function considering a placement of component unit at the center of the screen, and the implementation of the annotation reversal function when the user's camera is rotated.
The result of this work is created application, which can be used to reduce the time for the assembly operation of the cycloidal gearbox. It was found a 30% time reduction for assembly operation using the application compared to the regular method.
For future work, it is proposed to automate the preparation of 3D models, their animation and annotation in the Unity environment, to reduce the time for expanding the application functions, which will affect the scaling the application to larger production.


The weighted circle layout problem is a class of layout optimization problem with behaviour constraints. Due to its NP-hard attribute, it is very difficult to solve in polynomial time. This paper puts forward a heuristic searching algorithm. The heuristic idea of the proposed algorithm is that ||.|| 1 of the row vector of the weighted matrix is used as heuristic information of first round of the roulette selection, the elements of the current row(the row number is equal to the the subscript of the circle selected this time)of weighted matrix are taken as heuristic information for next roulette selection; the location rule with the lower computational complexity is given by using the theory of graphics. Through the heuristic searching, the optimal solution of problem in the paper can be obtained. The experimental results show that the performances of the proposed algorithm is superior to the existed algorithms.


Based on the data of Shanghai Security Market,this paper study the margin trading effects on the market liquidity and volatility.Empirical research results showed that in the Shanghai Security Market,margin trading mechanism have a long-term cointegration relationship with the market volatility,but not with the market liquidity,and margin trading is the Granger causal element of market liquidity and volatility.Using event study on the parametric or nonparametric tests of the individual stock inclusion and exclusion of new margin trading rage,we draw the conclusion that margin trading could stabilize the volatility of single stock and enhance stock liquidity.Finally,concerning the development of margin trading in China,we make further policy recommendations.


Abstract The concept of therapeutic action among most schools of psychoanalysis has solidly progressed from the original Freudian catharsis-insight model to an intersubjective-insight perspective. This article will focus on the re-conceptualizations of therapeutic action that have evolved over the past 80 years in interpersonal psychoanalysis and among many other psychoanalytic orientations. A clinical example will follow to illustrate an intersubjective-insight model of therapeutic action.


OBJECTIVES
Craniofacial anomalies are complex and have an overlapping phenotype. Mandibulofacial Dysostosis and Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral Spectrum are conditions that share common craniofacial phenotype and present a challenge in arriving at a diagnosis. In this report, we present a case of female proband who was given a differential diagnosis of Treacher Collins syndrome or Hemifacial Microsomia without certainty. Prior genetic testing reported negative for 22q deletion and FGFR screenings. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the critical role of whole-exome sequencing in establishing a genetic diagnosis of the proband.

SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION
The participants were 14½-year-old affected female proband/parent trio.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Proband/parent trio were enrolled in the study. Surgical tissue sample from the proband and parental blood samples were collected and prepared for whole-exome sequencing. Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument was used for sequencing (125 nucleotide reads/84X coverage). Analyses of variants were performed using custom-developed software, RUNES and VIKING.

RESULTS
Variant analyses following whole-exome sequencing identified a heterozygous de novo pathogenic variant, c.259C>T (p.Gln87*), in EFTUD2 (NM_004247.3) gene in the proband. Previous studies have reported that the variants in EFTUD2 gene were associated with Mandibulofacial Dysostosis with Microcephaly.

CONCLUSION
Patients with facial asymmetry, micrognathia, choanal atresia and microcephaly should be analyzed for variants in EFTUD2 gene. Next-generation sequencing techniques, such as whole-exome sequencing offer great promise to improve the understanding of etiologies of sporadic genetic diseases.


Medical school evaluation literature reveals concerns about attitudes toward teaching, including cynicism toward the value of teaching in academics and alienation of students from the "work"; of learning. One might reasonably conclude, then, that these attitudes are reflected in higher evaluation scores for those professors who are kinder and gentler to students. Our study indicates otherwise. The important predictors of medical student, resident, and faculty ratings of teaching excellence were clinical competence, demonstrated sensitivity toward patients and their families, and recognition of the limits of one's abilities. Trainees and faculty generated ratings both reliable (αresidents = .93, αfaculty = .97) and rigorous (i.e., discriminating more from less effective teachers). Implications for designing and implementing clinical teaching evaluation systems include the need to identify criteria that the department members consider as underpinning responsible evaluation. In formulating these criteria, te...


Taha A. A. M., A. B. Abdalla: Light and Electron Microscopy of the Sweat Glands of the Dromedary C_I. Acta vet. Bmo, 49,1980: 31-35. A light and electron microscopic study was made on the sweat glands of the dromedary camel using 42 experimental animals. The glands were present in all the regions studied except the lips, extemal nares and perianal region. The secre tory tubule was made up of columnar, cuboidal or, sometimes, fiat epithelium. No glycogen was detected in the gland. Cell organelles were few but mitochondria were numerous. There was no evidence that the gland was of the classical apocrine type.


Background The most common cause of erectile dysfunction (ED) is vascular insufficiency. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) is an ECG marker of myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease. Objectives To evaluate if the fQRS by ECG can be detected earlier and if it is possible to track simpler markers of cardiovascular involvement in patients with arteriogenic ED than pharmaco-penile duplex ultrasonography. Patients and methods A total of 100 patients with ED were included. They were classified according to International Index of Erectile Function-5 and subjected to detailed history taking, thorough clinical examination, and imaging studies, including pharmaco-penile duplex ultrasonography and ECG, to detect fQRS. Results The presence of fQRS was significantly different among the studied groups (P = 0.005), as 66.7% of patients with severe ED and 60% of patients with moderate ED had fQRS, whereas 28.6% of patients with mild–moderate ED and 24% of patients with mild ED had fQRS. fQRS was more specific (83%) than sensitive (56%), with an accuracy of 72% in arteriogenic ED prediction. Conclusion fQRS is an efficient specific and simple marker of arteriogenic ED. Absent fQRS can exclude the arteriogenic ED, and the patient could be considered normal or venogenic.


The radioactively powered transient following a binary neutron star merger, known as a kilonova (KN), is expected to enter the steady-state nebular phase a few days after merger. Steady-state holds until thermal reprocessing time-scales become long, at which point the temperature and ionization states need to be evolved time-dependently. We study the onset and significance of time-dependent effects using the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium spectral synthesis code SUMO . We employ a simple single-zone model with an elemental composition of Te, Ce, Pt, and Th, scaled to their respective solar abundances. The atomic data are generated using the Flexible Atomic Code ( FAC ), and consist of energy levels and radiative transitions, including highly forbidden lines. We explore the KN evolution from 5 to 100 d after merger, varying ejecta mass and velocity. We also consider variations in the degree of electron magnetic field trapping, as well as radioactive power generation for alpha and beta decay (but omitting fission products). We find that the transition time, and magnitude of steady-state deviations are highly sensitive to these parameters. For typical KN ejecta, the deviations are minor within the time-frame studied. Ho we ver, lo w density ejecta with low energy deposition show significant differences from ∼ 10 d. Important deviation of the ionization structure solution impacts the temperature by altering the o v erall line cooling. Adiabatic cooling becomes important at t ≥ 60 d which, in addition to the temperature and ionization effects, lead to the bolometric light-curve deviating from the instantaneous radioactive power deposited.


The Rhizobium isolates were obtained from root nodules of Sesbania grandiflora (L.) grown in different soil samples. In Leonard jar experiment, the plants inoculated with the isolate. SG-5 gave maximum dry weight (1 g/plant), nodule number (47 per pl int) and total nitrogen content (51.80 mg/plant). Similarly pot culture experiment also revealed that plant inoculated with SG-5 isolate gave maximum dry weight (1.51 g/plant) and total nitrogen content (43.34 mg/plant). The response of rice crop to the incorporation of inoculated green manure was encouraging with respect to nitrogen content, phosphorus content and grain yield.

Syntactic structures affect prosodic patterns, but not every detail of syntactic information seems to have an effect on prosody. The theory of the prosodic hierarchy thus maps syntactic structures to phonological, prosodic structures, and only the latter are accessible to phonological and phonetic processes (Nespor and Vogel, 1986; Selkirk, 1986). Two important questions in this research program are: what the mapping principles between syntax and phonology are, and how universal these principles are. The issue that I take up in this paper is the cross-linguistic variation in the number of prosodic levels, focusing on the case of Japanese. Some previous work on Japanese intonation, including those on J-ToBI and XJToBI, has not posited an Intonational Phrase (IntP), a level above a Major Phrase and below an Utterance (Beckman and Pierrehumbert, 1986; Pierrehumbert and Beckman, 1988; Maekawa et al., 2002; Venditti, 2005). However, it has been proposed that an IntP plays a role in many other languages ! for example, in Italian, an IntP defines a domain of spirantization (Nespor and Vogel, 1986: 205!211); in English, an IntP is signaled by socalled 'comma intonation' with a distinct pause and boundary tones (Nespor and Vogel, 1986; Selkirk, 2005). Admitting some gaps in the prosodic hierarchy in particular languages is in fact not uncommon in the literature; for example, Jun states that '[l]anguages vary in the number of prosodic units above the Word, ranging from one to three' (Jun, 2006: 15). In TobI


Efficiency and effectiveness of internal and external control of the reliability of the economic information of the organization depend on the sufficiency and proper nature of information sources on the financial and economic activities of the organization. Economic information for control is mainly formed in the accounting and tax accounting systems of the organization. This article analyzes various existing approaches to determining the directions of internal and external control of material economic information about the financial and economic activities of organizations, shows the features of determining the materiality of information depending on its consumers, in relation to various economic and economic actions and business processes of an organization, from the point of view of accuracy of accounting indicators and accounting (financial) statements.


Purpose: The study sought to investigate the impact of social movements on social change.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The study concluded that the society is not a static element. It is a complex system of movements and counter movements pulling it in different directions. When this tussle is finally in favor of the movement, it becomes part of the social structure. A successful movement may become a part of the social order such as a trade union movement or save environment movement. The movement may disappear after achieving its goal.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was informed by relative deprivation theory, the strain theory and the theory of revitalization. The study recommended that, successful movements must define their goals clearly and target the institutions that have the power to make the changes they are demanding. Moreover successful movements should act in a political environment in which they have leverage to demand systemic change.


The history of education in the Middle East is diverse in pedagogical and philosophical approaches, intellectual contributions, and institutions. The politics of power have played a key role in shaping education throughout the region. In the medieval period, wealthy individuals financially endowed schools based on their Islamic law affiliations. In the Ottoman era, the sultans centralized schools to disseminate a common identity across the empire. Colonial powers in the modern era used education to serve their own ends. The contemporary era has witnessed the development of state-sponsored schools to support nation-building. Since the 1970s, education has been at the heart of four critical social issues in the Middle East: neoliberalism, dictatorship, war, and patriarchy.

The cemented structure of ceramic-metal composites is examined as a means of effective toughening in ceramics; Ni-TiC was identified as a favorable binder for Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}. A new process using plasma CVD was developed that could deposit TiC on fine Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} particles. The TiC-coated alumina powders were consolidated with nickel-based binders to produce the cemented structure. An indentation crack resistance test showed that TiC-coated alumina cermets impeded crack propagation effectively, improving substantially the toughness compared to conventionally processed alumina cermets.


In this research, interviews were conducted with 10 US newspaper sport journalists to gauge their experiences and attitudes toward issues and coverage of open and closeted gay men in sport, sport media, and within society. Concerning closeted athletes, most of these journalists are reluctant to report on athletes' non-normative sexual orientation, even if that means a competitor could scoop them on a story about a major athlete being gay. Most of these reporters believe that US sport fans are ready for openly gay athletes in professional men's team sports, but that locker rooms might be slower to adapt. Despite these progressive attitudes and more than 220 years of collective professional media experience, none of these journalists ever worked with a sports reporter who was openly gay to all of their colleagues. Therefore, it was not surprising that most believed sport journalism would be a challenging career for openly gay men, particularly if those individuals also did not conform to gender-normative notions of masculinity.


In 2013, a slope slide took place at the Santana-AP channel that links to the Lower Amazon River's North Channel, resulting in the sudden collapse of a substantial section of the Port of Santana and its infrastructure. This area houses liquid bulk terminals and pipelines with high pollution potential. The objective of the research is to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of an eventual oil spill in the very short term using a numerical hydrodynamic simulation model coupled with that of pollutant dispersion. The SisBaHiA® software, experimentally calibrated using acoustic methods (ADCP), was used to generate hypothetical scenarios in these areas with a substantial risk of landslides. Two hydrological scenarios stand out in the simulations: (a) November S-1 (dry) and (b) May S-2 (rainy). In S-1, the plume dispersion was higher during flood tides S-1a and S-1b, reaching 4 h urban slope areas, river mouths, tributaries (Matapi and Vila Nova), and environmental protection areas. At S-2, the plume spread was greater during the ebb tides S-2c and S-2d, affecting Macapá's water supply system 12 h after the accident. The scenarios suggest the existence of high risks associated with the study hypotheses. The dispersion of the plume is directly proportional to the flow, indicating that local hydrodynamics is probably the most relevant dispersive factor. We conclude that the mitigation time for more severe effects is critical in the first 4 h because the coastal geographic feature tends to keep the plume in the Santana channel.


In this article we look at the question of the security of Data Encryption Standard (DES) against non-linear polynomial invariant attacks. Is this sort of attack also possible for DES? We present a simple proof of concept attack on DES where a product of 5 polynomials is an invariant for 2 rounds of DES. Furthermore we present numerous additional examples of invariants with higher degrees. We analyse the success probability when the Boolean functions are chosen at random and compare to DES S-boxes. For more complex higher degree attacks the difficulties disappear progressively and up to 100 % of all Boolean functions in 6 variables are potentially vulnerable. A major limitation for all our attacks, is that they work only for a fraction of the key space. However in some cases, this fraction of the key space is very large for the full 16-round DES.

The Rede Telemática da Saúde (RTS) is a telematic network connecting health care providers in the Aveiro region (Portugal), aiming at supporting the continuity of care. Using the RTS, health care professionals and institutions can securely share clinical data. RTS makes use of an integration engine, which accesses the scattered data sources to create a virtual unified view of patients' information. RTS is deployed over a widearea private network, shared among a great variety of bandwidth links, systems and applications, which can impact the infrastructure service levels in multiple ways. In this paper, we describe the development of a toolkit for monitoring the performance of the distributed integration process. These analysis mechanisms make it is possible to detect bottlenecks and introduce optimizations in the system, especially with respect to the integration engine module. Its deployment in the production RTS health telematic network assists the maintenance team and the decision taking process to handle usage trends and systems needs.


We isolated the anomalous part of the cosmic electron–positron flux within a Bayesian likelihood analysis. Using 219 recent cosmic-ray spectral data points, we inferred the values of selected cosmic-ray propagation parameters. In the context of the propagation model coded in GalProp, we found a significant tension between the electron–positron related and the rest of the fluxes. Interpreting this tension as the presence of an anomalous component in the electron–positron related data, we calculated background predictions for PAMELA and Fermi-LAT based on the non-electron–positron related fluxes. We found a deviation between the data and the predicted background even when uncertainties, including systematics, were taken into account. We identified this deviation with the anomalous electron–positron contribution. We briefly compared this model-independent signal to some theoretical results predicting such an anomaly.


The null-plane quantization is studied with the emphasis on the P+=O mode, by using Dirac's quantization for constrained systems. This mode is eliminated from the Hilbert space and the physical vacuum can be defined in a kinematical way. It enables us to con struct the physical Fock space kinematically. Poincare invariance is also studied in detail.

Puberty timing is fundamentally part of life-course health. Yet, little is known about the value of different measures of pubertal timing, particularly in males. We used a population-based cohort to examine nine measures of pubertal age (n=8,500), identifying development of pubic hair in males (12.6y) and breasts in females (11.5y) as early indicators of puberty, and voice breaking (14.2y) and menarche (12.7y) as late indicators. All measures showed evidence of positive phenotypic intercorrelations (e.g., r=0.49: male genitalia and pubic hair ages), and positive genetic intercorrelations. A genetic risk score (GRS) for age at menarche associated positively with all other measures (e.g., difference in female peak height velocity age per SD higher GRS: 0.24y, 95%CI: 0.21 to 0.26), as did GRS for voice breaking age (e.g., difference in male axillary hair age: 0.11y, 0.07 to 0.15). We illustrate the value of different pubertal age measures and their use in life-course research.


Congress recently passed into law the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 ("TLOA"), intended to assist Native American tribes in addressing lawlessness in Indian Country. The Act lends legitimacy to tribes' visions of their justice systems and is a potential step toward true tribal self-determination. This paper outlines the history of law enforcement and criminal jurisdiction in Indian country and argues that although the TLOA makes some meaningful changes, it is primarily a short-term fix. In many places it does not go far enough and some of the most important provisions of the Act may face difficulties in implementation. The object of this paper is to highlight how the legislation will affect tribes and present strategies for tribes seeking to utilize the TLOA provisions.


L. Frank Baum's The wonderful wizard of Oz (1900) could have furnished F. Scott Fitzgerald with a matrix of imagery and thematic for his The Great Gatsby (1925). The children's classic had sold widely and even been dramatized during Fitzgerald's childhood. Its emphasis on the greenness of the Emerald City foretells the role played by the colour green in Fitzgerald's novel. Baum's relentless optimism offers a foil to the profoundly tragic vision of the novelist; his title figure (also from the American Midwest) resembles Gatsby in his fraudulence. The shallowness of material fulfilment had preoccupied Fitzgerald since "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" (1921). Gatsby enriched that vision. Could Wizard have furnished him with a network of imagery?


The risk of developing chronic illnesses and disabilities is increasing with age. To predict and prevent aging, biomarkers relevant to the aging process must be identified. This paper reviews the known molecular, cellular, and physiological biomarkers of aging. Moreover, we discuss the currently available technologies for identifying these biomarkers, and their applications and potential in aging research. We hope that this review will stimulate further research and innovation in this emerging and fast-growing field.


There is an increasing recognition that central aortic pressure is more relevant than peripheral (brachial) measure for the prediction and pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. Central pressure is greatly influenced by the phenomenon of arterial wave reflections returning from the peripheral vasculature, which can be quantified by augmentation index. Primary wave reflections returning to the heart are thought to come from the lower body (e.g., lower limbs). Accordingly, the primary aim of the present study was to determine the association between central augmentation index and arterial blood pressures recorded in both the upper and lower limbs.

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a protocol designed specifically for SSD (Solid State Drive), which has significantly improved the performance of SSD storage devices. However, the traditional kernel-space IO path hinders the performance of NVMe SSD devices. In this paper, a user-space raw file system (URFS) based on NVMe SSD is proposed. Through the design of the user-space multi-process shared cache, multiple applications can share access to SSD to reduce the amount of SSD access; NVMe-oriented log-free data layout and Multi-granularity IO queue elastic separation technology are used to improve system performance and throughput. Experiments show that, compared to traditional file systems, URFS performance is improved by more than 23% in CDN (Content Delivery Network) scenarios, and URFS performance is improved more in small file scenarios and read-intensive scenarios.

Eimeria tenella infection in broiler chickens is associated with haemorrhagic typhlitis and anemia. The study aimed to evaluate the haematological parameters and oxidative stress profile of caecal coccidiosis in broiler chickens infected with E. tenella following the administration of the methanolic leaf extract of Vernonia amygdalina and its fractions. To evaluate the parameters, 210 broiler chickens were divided into seven groups with two replicates (n=15). The experimental groups were negative control (NC), positive control (PC), standard amprolium control (SC), crude methanol extract (ME), hexane fraction (HF), butanol fraction (BF), and aqueous residue fraction (AF). All birds were infected with 105 sporulated oocysts of E. tenella except those in the NC group and treated accordingly. The haematological parameters and oxidative stress markers were assessed at 7 and 14 days post-infection as evaluation criteria for the evaluation of the anticoccidial efficacy of treatments. The packed cell volume (PCV) of the NC group showed a significant decrease at 7 days post-infection but markedly improved at 14 days post-infection. There was a non-significant difference in the antioxidant values of the birds in all groups (p > 0.05), as no definite trend in the value measured parameters were recorded. It was concluded that treating infected birds with V. amygdalina effectively decreased blood loss and improved oxidative defence during caecal coccidiosis.


When in 1908 in Cieszowa, one of the oldest Jewish communities in Upper Silesia, buildings of the dissolved Kehilla were put up for auction, Fr. Karl Urban (1864-1923), the priest of the parish of St. Joseph in Sadów, to which Cieszowa also belonged, purchased a synagogue with the surrounding outbuildings from his own resources, thus protecting them from inevitable liquidation. Cieszowa was one of four villages in Upper Silesia, in which Jews were ordered to reside during Prussian settlement bans, issued in the 1770s and 1780s. The article briefly describes the history of the Jewish community in Silesia, with the emphasis on the religious community set up by them in Cieszowa. In addition, the circumstances of the auctioning of local buildings in 1908 and their purchase by Fr. Karl Urban were described. The author focused on the activity of Fr. Urban, aimed at creating a religious and museum memorial site. Moreover, the author undermines the popular opinion involving the demolition of wooden monuments, allegedly after 1911, postponing the time of their destruction for the years after the death of Fr. Urban, i.e. after 1923.

Various tools have been developed to deliver genes into eukaryotic cells; among them, the efficiency of RNA-containing viruses belonging to the family of Retroviridae is higher than other viruses because integrate their genomes into the target cell chromosomes. The Murine Leukemia Virus (MLV) is the most prominent member of orthoretrovirinae genus of gammaretroviruses. An MLV-based retroviral vector can only express transgenes in cells undergoing mitosis, indicating its suitability as a delivery vehicle for cancer gene therapy. In this study, an MLV-based viral vector was produced in the HEK293T cell line by transient cotransfection of three plasmids including pBABE-GFP (plasmid expressing GFP reporter gene), pBS–CMV–gagpol (plasmid consisting of Gag-Pol genes) and pMD2.G (plasmid expressing VSVG gene). The produced viral vector was concentrated by ultracentrifuge and poly ethylene glycol methods. Serial dilutions were prepared from concentrated virus and virus titer was calculated according to infectious unit per milliliter (21×106 infectious particles per milliliter in both methods). Then, the transduction efficiency of cancerous cell lines (A549 and Hela) and non- cancerous cell lines (HEK and Vero) was compared by the produced viral vector. The results showed that efficiency of the generated vector to infect cancer cells in comparison with other cells was higher and thus was more suitable for gene transfer into cancer cell lines.

This article draws attention to a topic that has been mostly ignored in our literature: the manifold transference meanings of our patients' reactions to our other patients. Central aspects of the patient's transference may be displaced onto the analyst's other patients. The author includes clinical examples of hospitalized patients, where such transferences to other patients are often more dramatic and obvious, as well as examples from neurotic patients, where such transferences may be less dramatic and may tend to resolve more readily through interpretation. The displacement of transference feelings onto the analyst's other patients also has important implications for training analyses, where analysands are likely to have multiple relationships with the analyst's other analysands, supervisees, and students.

In this research, the commercially available software called FLUENT is used to simulate and visualize behaviors of flow in a three-layer stratified headbox of a paper machine. A two-phase model, "volume of fluid", is employed to simulate turbulences in a free jet. The information obtained from the simulations, in terms of velocity profiles, Reynolds stress, turbulent kinetic energy, and macro scale of turbulence, are used to assess and characterize the effect of free jet length, vane length, vane thickness, nozzle angle, and slice opening on fiber layer mixing. Importantly, the simulation results demonstrated that the macro scale of turbulence in the free jet is a critical parameter to evaluate and optimize the degree of fiber layer mixing and forming. In addition, air entrainment was observed in the three dimensional simulations. It is expected that the vane and free jet lengths are the keys of layer mixing in stratified headbox. In addition, it is better for both vane and free jet lengths to be adjustable during operation.


The central government of Korea announced that it will extend its rate of NRE (new renewable energy) from 2% in 2004 to 5% by 2011 in the declaration of the first year of NRE. Three national master plans have been made to extend NRE by using various supporting policies since 1997. But there were speculations that this goals cannot be achieved by 2011. The reason of this failure is because the central government has ignored the regional characteristics of NRE. Local governments are more familiar to these kinds of natural resources than the central government. And they know how to develop these resources. It is important for local governments to cooperate with central governments having expertise and finance. So this paper analyzes the regional effectiveness of these NRE policies in the respective energies by using four logical steps of policy implementation: input, process, output, and outcome. As a result, it can discover that there are some differences between urban areas and rural areas. Also, it can show the differences of policies performances between respective energies. In conclusion, it suggests that the central government has to consider the characteristics of regional differences of NRE. Radically, it is necessary to change the structure of NRE policies from input oriented support system of central government to output oriented support system of local government.


Increasing stream flow intermittence is one of the long-term
effects of climate change in the Czech Republic. Episodes of
stream drying can strongly affect the whole aquatic
invertebrate communities and even change the population
structure of some species. One of the amphipods, Gammarus
fossarum, an inhabitant of small, often drying streams,
widespread across the whole Czech Republic, lacks any
drought-resistant stages and is therefore strongly affected by
dry episodes. We studied changes in its population structure
across 12 pairs of intermittent and perennial streams in years
2012-2016 and discovered, that populations from intermittent
streams have a higher proportion of larger males and a lower
proportion of juveniles in comparison to populations of
perennial streams. This finding supports the hypothesis that a
higher male recolonisation ability is related to bigger body
size and therefore higher overall mobility. Comparison of
fecundity in natural residual pools and nearby streams in 2017
also indicated a lower proportion of breeding females in
natural residual pools, probably caused by an increase in
predation in overcrowded residual pools or overall stress in
this highly unstable habitat. That could lead to possible egg
loss and restricted population recovery after stream
inundation. Our study confirms that population structure of
Gammarus fossarum is one of the possible indicators of previous
dry episodes on small streams across the Czech Republic.


As a neural network based on MSSE,ANN-MSE is not an appropriate solution to the problem of predicting rare weather event.In this paper,an improved neural network method,ANN-CE is presented,which is a three layered back-propagation neural network with one output unit.The error function of ANN-CE is a cross entropy function.Then utilizing ECMWF forecast fields data,this method was applied to 96 hours forecast of heavy precipitation event in northern Fijian province.The ANN-CE model and the ANN-MSE model based on original factor and principle component after PCA reducing dimensions were respectively built.These models were applied to independent samples in 2009—2010,and the test results are as following:TS grade for model based on principal component is higher than that of model based on original factors;miss-rate for the ANN-CE model is lower than that of the ANN-MSE model.All in all,ANN-CE model based on principal component has best performance and stability,whose TS grade and miss-rate was respectively 0.51 and 0.17,so it was suited for forecasting rare event.
