Human beings are depend on nature for their simple requirement as being the source for medicine, shelter, food stuff, fragrance, clothes, flavor, fertilizer, and means of transportation throughout the ages. Herbal medicine origin in ancient culture. It helps to treat disease and help to improve the general health and well beings. Turmeric has the most powerful medicine sometime it cause a little adverse effect such as allergic reaction, asthma, headache, vomiting and diarrhea but it is very useful in the treatment. It may also help to improve the depression. Teas are also play a vital role in human health and fitness. Teas are help to prevent from some chronic disease such as cancer and diabetes etc. Plant are extremely rich in wide varities of metabolities such as tannis, terpenoid, alkaloid and flavanoid which have been found in vitro to have antimicrobial property. Therefore plants have provide good antimicrobial agent and also antiviral they have been partly or completely characteristics. There will be a great future of medicinal drugs as there are about half millions plants around the world. The most of them are not investigated yet for their medicinal activities could be used in the treatment. In the world there are many foods crops have medicinal effect such as garlic help to understand plant toxicity and protect human and animal from natural poisons. There are approximately 50,000 plants are used across the world. The Royal botanical gardens conservatively estimated in 2016 that 17,810 plant species have a medicinal use, out of some 30,000 plants which use for another kind of documented.


While the subject of this colloquium is limited to reliability, I feel it is essential to put this parameter in its right context as we as users in the RN see it. We in the RN are most concerned with the availability of our aircraft to perform the required operational task. We define availability as the percentage of a given period of time that an aircraft is either being used or is serviceable ready for use. If availability is low then we need a larger number of aircraft to meet a commitment. With the cost of current aircraft and our restrictions on carrier complements this is a vital consideration.


We address the problem of deriving exact finite state machines (FSMs) from SystemC descriptions. This is useful in frequently-occurring design scenarios where the cycle-by-cycle I/O behavior of an application has to be preserved during behavioral synthesis (cycle-fixed mode). We present an algorithm for deriving the FSM in the presence of complex and arbitrarily nested control structures in the specification, thereby overcoming certain key limitations of state-of-the-art behavioral synthesis research.


ABSTRACT This paper presents an implementation of the voltage regulator module (VRM) DC-DC converter operating at 2 MHz using three interleaved switching cells whose outputs are magnetically coupled by monolithic intercell transformers (ICT). The innovation comes from the manufacturing of the ICTs. Spinel ferrite is sintered around two copper windings by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS), also called spark plasma sintering (SPS). The manufacturing processes are detailed in this paper, and the ICTs magnetic properties are measured. The high-frequency operation of the converter has been possible thanks to the implementation of GaN components. The power density of the converter is 15 kW/dm3.


The multifingers' parasitic capacitances modeling of 65‐nm CMOS transistors for millimeter‐wave application is presented. The modeling is based on simulation approach, which is done by building the devices true dimension in high‐frequency structure simulator environment. The material properties of the devices as given by the foundry are used during simulation and then full electromagnetic simulations are carried out to extract the Y‐parameters of the model. Unit‐cell parameters extraction method is carried out in order to save memory and simulation time. In this case, the multifinger transistors are divided into unit‐cells and then the parasitic capacitances of the unit‐cells are calculated from the extracted Y‐parameter. Based on linear scaling, the parasitic capacitance of the multifingers transistor can be obtained with good accuracy (less than 5% error). © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In the paper we study some comparative growth properties of composite entire functions on the basis of generalized relative order, generalized relative type and generalized relative weak type with respect to another entire functions.


An ADRC flight controller design method based on PSO algorithm is proposed in this paper. The ADRC has strong robustness and fitness for the change of model parameter. In order to improve the flight control performance,an ADRC fight controller is designed. There are many controller parameters in the designed controller,so PSO algorithm is used to optimize the parameters. The simulation results show that the controller optimized by the PSO algorithm has excellent control performance and the design efficiency is improved.


In most nonspecific urinary infections, either in the bladder or in the kidney, a gram-negative motile bacillus, believed to be the colon bacillus, is generally the predominating organism in the urine. Naturally, investigation and treatment have been directed against this organism, and patients with pyelonephritis are not considered cured until specimens catheterized from each kidney are found to be free from both bacteria and pus. Recently, investigators have centered their attention on this organism. During the chill incident to the removal of residual urine in prostatic cases, colon bacilli have been recovered from the blood in as high as 40 per cent. of cases. 1 Helmholz and Beeler have attempted to produce pyelonephritis experimentally in rabbits by the intravenous injection of colon bacilli obtained from human cases, but only eight of sixty-six animals injected had lesions in the kidney; twenty-one had lesions in other organs. 2 However, during the course of the


Abstract With recent developments in nanotechnologies, metal nanoparticles permeate a wide range of dimension scales, from light wavelength-scale domains down to a few nanometers approaching electronic scales. The electrodynamics at metal surfaces hosts a rich interplay between plasmon oscillations, retardation effects of light, and nonclassical (quantum) effects of electrons. Incorporating all these effects and modeling optical responses of nanoparticles generally rely on pure numerical methods, which are, however, disadvantageous in physical interpretations and computational speed. Herein, we establish a modal method that accurately predicts plasmon responses of metal nanoparticles, including both retardation and nonclassical corrections on an equal footing. The proposed method, based on electrostatic plasmon modes, is parameterized by a set of geometrically dependent factors, which, once computed, can be repeatedly used for same-shaped nanoparticles independent of size and material composition. The predictive accuracy of the method is examined for single nanoparticles, multi-scale plasmonic architectures—such as dimer structures with deep-nanometer gap—and geometrically deformed structures, with feature dimensions ranging from a few nanometers to hundreds of nanometers.

To the Editor.— Lyponyssus ( =Bdellonyssus) bacoti (Hirst, 1913), the rat mite, may infest man as a secondary host. Such an infestation results in a chronic dermatitis. Often, as when several individuals are exposed to the same source of mites, it is a group disease. 1-3 Recently we saw a young boy with rat-mite dermatitis. Investigation revealed that all members of his household were similarly afflicted and that their tenement contained numerous rats and rat mites. Report of Case.— The patient was an 8-year old boy of Puerto Rican background. When first seen, he had had a widespread episodic pruritic eruption for about three months. Skin changes and itching were worse on the exposed areas, particularly along the flexural aspects of the arms and legs. There was considerable day-to-day fluctuation in the intensity of his disease. He had been thought to have eczema, but treatment with lubrication and topical steroids for


Nowadays, with the advent of assisted reproductive technologies through of in vitro studies a large amount of information has been gathered on how the sperm achieves the capacitation through a sequence of biochemical modifications that lead to the establishment of fully fertilizing ability. However, little is known about the possible effects of antioxidants such as reduced glutathione (GSH) on these cellular changes during sperm capacitation.Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of GSH on the putative changes in free cysteine radicals (FCR) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the boar sperm of cooled semen during the achievement of a standard in vitro capacitation (IVC). Four treatments (control and three different GSH concentrations: 1, 2 and 5 mM) for each assay (n=6) were analyzed after the incubation for 4h at 38.5oC (in a 5% CO2 atmosphere) of sperm in an IVC activation medium (CM) containing NAHCO3 and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The incubation increased (P<0.05) the intracellular levels of FCR in both head (from 3.0 ± 0.3 nmol/µg protein at 0h to 17.4 ± 1.7 after 4h of incubation) and tail (from 3.4 ± 0.4 nmol/µg protein at 0h to 8.4 ± 1.0 nmol/µg protein after 4h of incubation). Similarly, an increase (P<0.05) in the rate of sperm with high intracellular levels of both peroxides (from 2.4 ± 0.7% at 0h to 18.6 ± 2.0% after 4h of incubation) and superoxides (from 11.6 ± 1.7% at 0h to 17.5 ± 1.9% after 4h of incubation) was observed. These increases were concomitant with capacitation-like changes of parameters like sperm motility, membrane fluidity, mitochondrial membrane potential and tyrosine phosphorylation levels. The addition of GSH at the CM prevented the majority of these changes in a dose dependent manner, reaching a maximal effect at concentrations of 5 mM. Our results seem to indicate that IVC in boar sperm is related with an increase of both overall disrupted disulfide bonds and intracellular ROS levels which can be prevented by the addition of GSH to the medium.


Almost anyone who develops an interest in fonts is bound to be overwelmed by the bewildering variety of letterforms available. The number of fonts available from commercial suppliers like Adobe, URW, LinoType and others runs into the thousands. A recent catalog issued by FontShop [Truong et al., 1998] alone lists over 25.000 different varieties. 1 And somehow, although the differences of the individual letters are hardly noticable, each font has its own character, its own personality. Even the atmosphere elucided by a text set from Adobe Garamond is noticably different from the atmosphere of the same text set from Stempel Garamond. Although decisions about the usage of fonts, will always remain in the realm of esthetics, some knowledge about font characteristics may nevertheless help to create some order and to find out why certain design decisions just do not work. The main aim of this paper is to provide such background by describing the main aspects that might be used to describe a font.


Rauscher murine leukemia virus (R‐MuLV) induces a rapidly developing erythroleukemia in BALB/c mice. Previously, we have shown that mouse interferon‐α/β (Mu IFN‐α/β) applied shortly after virus inoculation efficiently inhibits the leukemic process (Hekman et al., 1981). Here we describe the effect of Mu IFN‐α/β on an established leukemia. Varying doses of Mu IFN‐α/β were injected over 3 days, starting 8 to 12 days after virus inoculation. The effect of Mu IFN‐α/β on the leukemic process was monitored by measuring the spleen weight, reverse transcriptase activity in the serum and, in selected experiments, by microscopic examination of sections of the spleen using standard histological and immunological staining techniques. Depending on the spleen weight at the start of its application (maximal about 450 mg), Mu IFN‐α/β caused a dramatic reduction in the number of virus‐infected erythroleukemic cells in the spleen. Also, R‐MuLV disappeared from the serum within 3 days. If Mu IFN‐α/β was injected into R‐MuLV‐infected mice with an already 10‐fold enlarged spleen, it could only stop further development of leukemia. Results obtained with crude Mu IFN‐α/β preparations were confirmed with absolutely pure Mu IFN‐β.


Multilayer films with multiple properties have been widely applied in the packaging industry. In order to know the two most important properties, ie permeability and tensile property, of the multilayer films, we examined model predictions and the properties of the individual component layers to provide an efficient method to design desired multilayer structures. The series model was employed for predicting permeability; there is good agreement between experimental data and this model for predicting both gas and water vapor permeabilities of three-layer films with various thickness fractions of polyamide 6 (PA-6). We can also predict the parameters of the constitutive equation, which described the plastic deformation of the three-layer films, from those of the individual component layers, with particularly high accuracy by using the additive rule. However, there was a larger discrepancy between the model and experimental data at high crosshead speeds due to the generation of heat during deformation.  2004 Society of Chemical Industry


Body fractures of the tarsal navicular are relatively uncommon. To date, there is little literature discussing a navicular body fracture with dorsal subluxation of the first and second cuneiforms over the navicular. This case study presents a 30-year-old patient with this injury. He underwent open reduction internal fixation of the navicular body fracture successfully but failed adequate reduction of the navicular cuneiform joint after ligamentous reconstruction. After revisional surgery, he also failed 6 weeks of percutanous pinning with Kirschner-wire fixation. When comparing the literature of a similar injury, the Lisfranc fracture disclocation, the same principles may apply. One should consider rigid open reduction internal fixation or even primary fusion to treat disclocation of the naviculocuneiform joint following a navicular body fracture.


Through the test of ore_dressing water, suggested raising the utilization of cyclic water by using the spilled water abundantly in the ore_dressing, and then the social and economic benefits can be well increased.


This study explores and theorizes the roles of the elements that shape immersive and transcendent experiences in underground clubs. Based on phenomenology inspired interviews the findings show how the immersive and transcendent experiences are marked by both social and introvert aspects. These experiences are influenced by four elements and roles that act in a constellationary manner, namely; security as a foundation to immersion, community as a gateway to belonging and acceptance, music as a medium to transcendence and recreational drugs as an enhancer to the experience. The discussion and analysis concentrate on how these elements affect both the immersive experience itself and how they affect each other. The constellation is presented to the reader in the form of a model in order to illustrate the co-dependencies of the elements.


This paper examines the one-man guitar Mũgithi music dance and performance popular in urban Kenyan urban space together with localized Kenyan Hip Hop. The music genres are seen as cultural practices that perform global socio-cultural discourses, and which can also be read for the ways in which they both indicate and formulate contexts. A close examination of the two popular genres shows how they continue to borrow from a variety of cultures and poetic forms. Both Mũgithi and Kenyan Hip Hop music also embody such forms as Gĩkũyũ poetic tradition known as Gĩcandĩ. The male-dominated tradition is somewhat comparable to such well known traditions as West African praise-singers and Imbongi male Zulu biographers in terms of their praise-singing performances and poetry. Consequently the borrowing and fusion between Gĩcandĩ on the one hand and Mũgithi and Hip Hop traditions on the other, help to display dynamic stylistic variations along with creative dialogic inter-textuality (Bakhtin 1981). This paper suggests that, given the creative and popular nature of the two musical genres, and the often controversial sociocultural discourses they embody, both Mũgithi and Kenyan Hip Hop music enjoy wide acclaim and 'covert prestige' (Trudgill 1972), irrespective of the perceptions that they are both transgressive and subversive sociocultural and political representations of 'the wretched of the earth' (Fanon 1967).


In this paper, a distributed extended Kalman filtering problem is studied for discrete‐time nonlinear systems with multiple fading measurements. To alleviate the network communication burden, the event‐triggered communication scheme is employed in both sensor‐to‐estimator channel and estimator‐to‐estimator channel. As such, the data transmission is executed only when the predefined event occurs. In addition, a set of independent random variables with known statistical properties is defined to represent the phenomenon of multiple fading measurements. The variance‐constrained approach is adopted to derive an upper bound for the estimation error covariance in consideration of the event‐triggered mechanism and truncated error by linearization. The filter gain for each node is then designed to minimize such an upper bound by recursively solving two Raccati‐like difference equations. By virtue of the stochastic stability theory, a sufficient condition is provided to guarantee the boundedness of the estimation error. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed filtering algorithm.


The characteristic values of bearing capacity of silty soil are determined on different basis in Binzhou area, which causes a greater difference in actual work. Based on engineering practices, most original data are counted and calculated of standard penetration test , soil test and double bridge CPT, the result is developed that the bearing capacity is more accurate concluded by in-situ test data, and also can provide a more usable method for foundation design, which will play a active role in specific engineering investigation work and summary of the regional experience values..


A liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the determination of the clinical trial combination of Solifenacin succinate and Tamsulosin hydrochloride. Effective chromatographic separation was achieved on an eclipse XDB-C18 (4.6 mm X 150 mm, 5μm) column using isocratic reverse phase technique. The mobile phase employed was ACN: 20Mm sodium phosphate buffer (0.2% Triethylamine) (30:70), the pH was adjusted to 3.0 by ortho phosphoric acid. The flow rate was maintained at 1.0 mL/min and elutewasmonitoredat225nm. A linear response was observed over the concentration range 15-75 μg/mL (R 2 =0.999) of Solifenacin and the concentration range 1-5 μg/mL (R 2 =0.999) of Tamsulosin.The limit of quantitation (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) for Solifenacin were 0.04 and 0.14 μg/mL, respectively and for Tamsulosin were 0.05 and 0.1 μg/mL, respectively.

Abstract Let $RG$ denote the group ring of the group $G$ over the ring $R$ . Using an isomorphism between $RG$ and a certain ring of $n\,\times \,n$ matrices in conjunction with other techniques, the structure of the unit group of the group algebra of the dihedral group of order 8 over any finite field of chracteristic 2 is determined in terms of split extensions of cyclic groups.


Active efflux is the primary antibiotic-resistance mechanism that exists in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

in data communication is a very important concern today. It is used in almost every region like e-commerce, education, and industry and data warehouse. Securely sending and receiving data in the above area is an important as the data is crucial. Image security plays an important role in this age. As the demand of image based message sending is improving day by day. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient image cryptography system based on RC6. The key size and number of variable rounds makes RC6 more secure. The key size is variable up to 2040 bits. The results are achieved in terms of entropy and correlation coefficients. The less variation in entropy is achieved from our approach. KeywordsChaos, Steganography, Security Measures. So in the ensuing segment we talk about data encryption method for picture encryption. We additionally talk about the pivotal angles which are utilized as a part of picture encryption with their points of interest and drawbacks. At long last taking into account the discourses we additionally recommend some future comment which may be productive in this bearing. There are niacumerous essential techniques which are second- hand pervasive cryptography, for example, private or mystery key cryptography, open fundamental or kilter, computerized mark, and hash capacities (15). In private key cryptography, a solitary key is leftover for both encryption and decoding. This obliges meander if all else fails part convey offering an impersonation of the key and the key be struck by be passed swear off a safe channel to the next individual (13-22). Private-key calculations are level indestructible and effectively actualized in equipment. Along these lines they are over and again second-hand for mass measurements encryption. The vast please of the all-around adjusted encryption rely on upon plaintext, encryption calculation, key and unscrambling calculation. The plaintext is the size ahead requiring the encryption calculation. It is joining of the inputs to the encryption calculation. The encryption calculation is the calculation used to continue on b deal with the information stranger plaintext to figure relieve. The mystery key is a comparable to repel of the encryption calculation and of the plaintext and it is associate of the encryption's inputs calculation (23)(24). The figure content is the defiant content discover as yield (14)(15). The steganography technique with cryptography will enhance the security as the cryptic content and the randomization quality can be improved.


This study examines consumer profile data on waterbed and conventional bed consumers. Five hundred conventional and waterbed consumers in Canada were randomly selected from two national lists of waterbed/mattress purchasers from 1981 to the present. A 73-item questionnaire was sent by mail to all of the selected respondents. The cover letter stated the purpose of the project; to study why people bought the bed that they are presently using. One hundred and sixty-two completed, useable questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 37%.

Following a series of multivariate analyses, a consumer profile for the two bed users was developed. Both groups tended to be married. The conventional bed consumers had: (a) either no children or one child at home; (b) a mean age of 44; and, (c) an average income in the $30,000-$40,000 range. Waterbed consumers had: (a) a mean age of 36, (b) one child living at home; and, (c) an average income in the $20,000-$30,000 range. On the Adorno F scale, the conventional bed user was found to be more conservative and authoritarian as compared to the waterbed user. The results did not support the notion that waterbed users are abnormally sexually-oriented or "kinky". For both groups, the price paid for the purchased bed fell in the $600 to $650 range. Implications for retailers were discussed.


This thesis examines the use and implications of using coercive measures within a high security hospital. High security hospitals are unique environments where challenges are often faced in balancing care with safety and security. The use of coercive measures, namely, restraint, seclusion, rapid tranquillisation and segregation, are considered unavoidable necessities in preventing and/or limiting harm. Yet coercive measures are deemed ethically, morally and professionally controversial.

This study explores patient, staff and environmental factors that influence variations in attitudes and experiences towards the use of coercive measures using a sequential mixed methods design. Stage one examines the rates, frequencies and demographic characteristics of patients experiencing coercive measures. . Stage two uses standardised questionnaires to elicit and analyse staff and patient attitudes towards aggression (ATAS), containment measures (ACMQ) and hospital environment (EssenCES). Stage three uses a constructivist grounded theory approach to conducting semi-structured interviews with staff using institutional and emotional work theories.

Findings revealed that younger, newly admitted females were those most likely to experience coercion. Aggression was viewed as being significantly more destructive on the pre-discharge ward, in comparison with the admission, ICU and treatment ward. Discrepancies were found between staff and patient perceptions of the least acceptable containment measures. Patients experienced the hospital environment as more supportive and cohesive than staff. Finally, findings from the staff interviews uncovered a complex interplay between personal and institutional expectations, values and actions.

Further research is required into examining i) the attitudes and implications regarding the least restrictive methods, ii) the internal dynamics within high secure hospitals warrant and what it means for staff to be working in an environment where patients feel more supported by being contained than staff do when containing them, and iii) what can be done to relieve the tensions of healthcare professionals expected to care, coerce and contain.


Nowadays, many researches have been made in the framework of a certain self-cognitive apprehension. Indeed in every day life, individuals have tendency to compare themselves with others to be more conformable to the standard of their environment in the only purpose to give to another, a good image of themselves. These individuals developp strategies which will going to allow them to be different from the others,but by staying congruous to the standard of the given situation.

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) aims two detect two types of attacks with equal efficiency. First, the attacks from external, third party hackers. Second, intrusions arising internally due to trusted members misusing and abusing their privileges. An IDS is based upon the principle that the illegitimate actions of an intruder is always noticeably different from the legal actions of an authorized personnel. To derive best benefits of an IDS, it has to be implemented in conjunction with other existing security technologies. This paper underscores in detail the IDS, its need, goals, the detection techniques used by it, its types and its real-time functioning.

Two-tone third order intermodulation products are of importance in acousto-optic signal processing systems because they can potentially cause false signals to be detected and result in lowering the effective dynamic range. The numerous sources OF intermodulation products are reviewed and their importance is discussed. Nonlinear acoustic intermods are examined in depth and methods for calculating their magnitudes in both high and low acoustic attenuation regimes are described. Finally, methods for minimizing the effects OF intermodulation products in acousto-optic systems are examined.


The insula is located deep to the sylvian fissure and the frontal, parietal, and temporal opercula. Several anatomical structures which damage of these can cause severe neurologic disability are intimately related to the insula: middle cerebral artery and internal capsule as well language areas are some of them. Material and methods: Between march 2007 and november 2010, 12 patients referred from south Brazil region underwent surgery for a WHO Grade II glioma involving the insular lobe by one of the authors (GRI). The topography of the tumor was accurately analyzed on preoperative MR images. Magnetic resonance image tractography was performed in 6 patients. Neuropsychological examination was done in 7 patients. Glioma location was categorized using the classification of Yaşargil. Intraoperative somatossensitive and motor evoked potential were performed to check the anatomical and functional integrity of the pyramidal pathways Results. Total resection was achieved in 7 patients, subtotal in 3 and partial in two. Except for one case, there was no postoperative neurological deficit.Conclusion. We believe that our results support resection as the primary treatment for many patients with gliomas of the insula. The microsurgical anatomy knowledge and microsurgical laboratory training is paramount to perform a safe surgery. Brain mapping and intraopeative neurophysiologi monitorization has improving the safity of the procedure.


The preconditions to establish dynamic mechanism model of the environmental technology innovation for enterprises were proposed based on comprehensive analysis of the varied dynamic mechanism models put forward by experts.The paper analyses the basic method and process for establishing the model,i.e.,the yearly operation cost model of the environmental technology innovation was established by making use of the yearly operation cost method to control the pollution and by relying on the scientific institution.The paper also illustrates the reason for setting the minimum yearly expenditure by enterprises and the amount of penalty for companies that might not control the pollution within the deadline.Finally,it briefly analyses the countermeasures to assure the driving force to conduct environment technology innovation for enterprises.


The idea of product-conformai Killing vector f ield in a locally product Riemannian space was originally introduced by Tachibana [1 J . Subsequently, Yamaguchi generalized such vector fields in Q>]. In the present paper, p-product-conformai Killing vector fields (which, when p=1, reduce to product-conformai Killing vector fields as given in [2j) have been defined and corresponding properties are obtained.


We study a parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau equation model with nonlinear management. The system is made of laterally coupled long active waveguides placed along a circumference. Stationary solutions of three kinds are found: periodic Ising states and two types of Bloch states, staggered and unstaggered. The stability of these states is investigated analytically and numerically. The nonlinear dynamics of the Bloch states are described by a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with linear and nonlinear parametric driving. The switching between the staggered and unstaggered Bloch states under the action of direct ac forces is shown.


Benzodiazepines are some of the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide. When used appropriately for the right condition, patient, dose, and duration, these drugs can provide rapid relief of the symptoms of anxiety and insomnia for some patients, but they are also linked to a variety of adverse effects (whether used long-term, short-term, or as needed). Many patients are prescribed, and take, benzodiazepines long-term without ever receiving evidence-based first-line treatments such as psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, sleep hygiene education, or serotonergic agents. This chapter discusses the risks and benefits of, and alternatives to, benzodiazepines. The evidence-based indications and contraindications are discussed, as are putative biopsychosocial bases for effectiveness, ineffectiveness, and harm. The known potential adverse effects and drug-drug interactions are summarized. Finally, alternative fast-acting/acute and chronic treatments for anxiety and/or insomnia are discussed. Response to treatment—whether benzodiazepines, other pharmacological agents, or psychotherapy—must be assessed.

Objective: To see the role of methyleprednisolone succinate in the management of acute spinal cord injury. Methods: A randomized control trial was done including the patients with acute spinal cord injury. They were divided into age and gender matched two groups. Patients with presence of active infection, associated open fracture, those on long term steroid and those who did not give consent to participate in the trial were excluded. One group received methyleprednisolone succinate within 8 hours of injury and another group did not receive the drug. Both the groups were managed nonoperatively. The neurological status of the patients was assessed at presentation, once spinal shock was over, at 6th week and 6th month and after one year according to ASIA scoring. Frankel grading was also assessed in every follow up.

I examine how margin requirements are set and affect prices in futures markets. Analyzing a data set covering the margins for 16 commodity futures, I find that the primary factors determining margins are contract-specific price volatility and the overall market volatility as captured by the VIX index. Contract-specific price volatility alone is found to explain 95% of the cross-sectional variation in margins. Furthermore, I find that margins affect liquidity and prices as predicted by theories of financial constraints. High margins reduce volume, increase price impact costs, and decrease open interest. In addition, an increase in the margins of futures in which speculators hold long positions reduces the futures price of long-term contracts.


Education and training are identified as a key means of reducing carbon emissions from buildings to help address the climate emergency. Institutional, industry and organisational responses are shown to be failing in this regard. This editorial introduces the themes and individual papers in the special issue and then explores the current state of the art through pedagogy, theory, training, policy, practice and standards. These areas are interrogated through three fundamental questions. How can education and training be rapidly changed to ensure the creation of zero-carbon built environments? How can this transition be implemented successfully? What positive examples and models can be drawn upon or adapted? In proposing an agenda for change, a new approach to education is set out which combines learning outcomes with new standards and personal values within a continual questioning and holding to account of all stakeholders involved through evidenced outcomes. This draws on evidence from the special issue and Capability Theory which allies competency with personhood to create capability through agency. The process to make this change requires: (1) government intervention, to ensure that the lowest common denominator is zero-carbon best practice within a negotiated, holistic approach to developing the built environment sustainably; (2) new ethical, interdisciplinary and collective educational working practices underpinned by new pedagogical theory and accreditation processes; and (3) rapid auditing and upskilling in climate literacy to bring pressure to bear on governments and institutions to carry out reforms.


For scholars of media and war, the 2003 invasion of Iraq is a compelling case to study. As part of President Bush?s ?war on terror?, the invasion was the most controversial British foreign policy decision since Suez, and its ramifications generated widespread political, media and popular dissent. As such, it is a case that, at face value, challenges existing elite-driven accounts of media-state relations (e.g. Bennett, 1990; Hallin, 1986). Drawing upon a uniquely detailed and rich content and framing analysis of UK television and press coverage of this invasion as well as interviews with key journalists, this paper critically reviews our existing theoretical understanding of wartime media-state relations. We show that there was a significant diversity of coverage across the UK national press which included a surprisingly vociferous anti-war press, whilst specific TV news channels succeeded in achieving a remarkable degree of independence. It is argued that, whilst elite-driven accounts still hold substantial explanatory purchase, a theoretical framework that is consistent with strands of new institutionalism and field theory provides the starting point for a more nuanced understanding of the media-foreign policy dynamic, one that enriches current elite-driven accounts.


The development of school-based physical education curriculum is necessary for the development of modern college physical education,which can be divided into stages of development,practice and improvement.Teaching staff are the subjects of the development of school-based physical education curriculum.By analyzing the necessity and characteristics of developing school-based curriculum as well as the requirements for the teachers,this paper concludes that the development of school-based physical education curriculum should be carried out in an innovative way and with school features.


Abstract The literature on reform in elementary teacher education reveals a variety of controversies and questions about program features that are most successful in preparing preservice teachers for effectiveness within the school system. However, the voices of experienced and successful elementary teachers are noticeably absent from this literature. Focus groups and survey research methods were used to ascertain what program features would be identified by eminent elementary teachers as highly influential on their professional development and what features they believe to be most important for current programs. Results support the extension of practical work with children as a foundation for the preservice program, the development of course content that is both realistic and practical, and the fostering of initiative and responsibility among preservice teachers in their growth as lifelong learners.


Label-free MS-based quantification of peptides from LC-MS data is a valuable complement to MS-based quantification technologies such as SILAC, ICPL, or gel based quantification. However, statistically valid labelfree quantification of peptides and proteins from a digest of a proteomics sample in up to hundreds of LC-MS experiments is a challenge, as it requires excellent sensitivity, mass accuracy, and reproducibility of retention time and signal intensity. Therefore we developed a method to measure LC-MS data quality in respect to the amount of usable statistically valid quantification information. Additionally, we evaluate the effect of quality improvement algorithms like retention time alignment and intensity normalization within this method.

A hybrid fill mode has been tested at the Photon Factory storage ring (PF-ring). Since a bunch-by-bunch feedback system was not available because of the high contrast of currents between the bunch train and the single bunch, we suppressed multibunch instabilities in the transverse and longitudinal planes by using the octupole magnets and RF phase modulation, respectively. We also suppressed single-bunch instabilities by controlling ring chromaticity. As a result, we successfully stored a 450 mA current with the hybrid fill mode: 1/2 filling (400 mA: 2.56 mA/bunch × 156) + 1 single bunch opposite to the bunch train (50 mA/bunch). Although there were three technical problems to be solved for the user operation, we have already obtained possible solutions to them.


The paper presents a practical implementation of a complex control system of a manipulator arm mounted on a mobile robot, controlled remotely by a human operator. Described is the mechanical construction and parameters of the manipulator, the overall structure of the control system and then in more detail also several software modules which were designed to aid the operator - including inverse kinematics and an anti-collision system. The control system is universal and has already been applied to several types of mobile manipulators.


The water quality has degraded with economic development globally. However, the relationship between food-web structure and nitrogen and phosphorus is of rare concern. To study food chain in this ecosystem, we measured the concentrations of stable isotope value δ 13 C and δ 15 N in aquatic matter and organisms in Pearl River. The δ 13 C and δ 15 N concentrations ranged from −41.2‰ to −19.4‰ and from 0.81‰ to 25.4‰, respectively. The δ 13 C concentrations in consumers were significantly higher than the particulate organic matter (POM), periphyton, phytoplankton, and higher aquatic plants. The δ 13 C of POM was likely derived from phytoplankton and exogenous organic detritus entering from a tributary, rather than from endogenous phytoplankton in the main river channel. The δ 13 C of phytoplankton was derived from eutrophic water with high nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations. Total δ 13 C was significantly higher in fish than in POM, phytoplankton, higher aquatic plants, and zooplankton, indicating that those components were the main carbon sources for fish. The carbon sources tended to be the same for different fish species in the same season at the same site, but different for a given fish species among seasons and sampling sites. This finding suggested that the feeding habits of different fish species converge as an adaptation to change environment. The food chain was longer (trophic level = 4.4) in river subsections with more carnivorous fish, such as Erythroculter pseudobrevicauda and Coilia grayii , and shorter in areas with more omnivorous fish. The total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations in the water were negatively correlated with food-chain length ( R 2 = 0.67, P <0.05; R 2 = 0.40, P <0.05). These results suggested that limiting nitrogen and phosphorus inputs into the water body would reduce the ecological risk in this area.

The reserves of carbon in peat deposits and peaty and peat bog soils of Russia comprise 44.2 Gt C of humic substances (37.3% of the total reserve of C), 44.7 Gt C (37.8%) of insoluble residue, and 21.1 Gt C (17.8%) of polysaccharides. The carbon pool of humic acids constitutes 25.0 Gt and that of fulvic acids reaches 19.1 Gt. Humic acids predominate in low-moor peat, whereas fulvic acids predominate in high-moor peat. Transitional peat deposits contain approximately equal amounts of fulvic and humic acids. About 89-91% of the carbon of humic substances in different types of peat is represented by heterogeneous complexes of the first and third fractions.

A 6 night/wk, home-based, government funded nocturnal haemodialysis (NHDx) program, believed to be the first outside North America, commenced in July 2001. Previously published Canadian and US costs suggest NHDx to be more cost-efficient than conventional haemodialysis (CHDx) as, although consumable-expensive, NHDx is home-based and is thus highly infrastructure, wage and hospital inpatient bed-day efficient. Comparable Australian cost evaluation is essential, however, before NHDx is widely encouraged as a new modality here.

Cost comparisons for 3 × wk CHDx vs preliminary costs for 9/12 pts on 6 × wk NHDx (3 excluded for inadequate program time) include: consumables/fluids CHDx @$A8781/pt/yr vs NHDx @$A17562/pt/yr; estimated nursing costs CHDx (62.25 nurse hrs/wk with a nurse/pt ratio of 3:9)@$A12666/pt/yr vs NHDx (40 nurse hrs/wk with a nurse/pt ratio of 1:9)@$A8111/pt/yr with projected reduction to A$4866 for nurse/pt ratio of 1:15; pharmaceutical costs (includes all medication & Fleet® for dialysate but excludes EPO/iron polymaltose) CHDx one month prior to NHDx @$A1412/pt/yr vs NHDx costs after one month starting home-based treatment @$A1273/pt/yr. Though the NHDx pts have been carefully selected, only 3 hospitalizations for a total of 4 bed-days have been necessary in 348.5 pt wks of experience to September 2002.

Our preliminary cost analyses confirm prior North American data. Cumulative financial modeling shows NHDx is more costly than CHDx at low pt numbers, reaching approximate equivalence @ 12 pts and progressively dropping below CHDx costs thereafter. NHDx appears cost-competitive with CHDx whilst yielding superior biochemical, life-style and rehabilitation results (see accompanying clinical data abstract).


Lumped models of the type proposed by Linvill to represent graded-base transistors are particularly useful because they portray the relationship between terminal behavior and physical processes, and because they are applicable in both small- and large-signal situations. Previous treatments of lumped models for graded base transistors have used an exponential approximation for the impurity distribution in the base, although in fact most present-day high-performance planar transistors have a gaussian distribution. The exponential approximation has previously been employed because it leads to a constant electric field in the base region, and the resulting equations for carrier behavior are easy to solve. In this paper we present a method for obtaining lumped models for the cases in which the impurity profiles are either gaussian or complementary error function. The models are systematically derived from a consideration of the geometrical properties and the dominant physical processes of the device. Charts are presented which enable one to determine the element values and weighting factors for a model of any desired complexity for a transistor of arbitrary base width whose base region is located at an arbitrary depth below the planar surface. A chart is also given for determining the alpha cutoff frequency as a function of base width and depth below the surface.

Many of the above predictive models are specific to a region or area and confined to only a few soil types. Our approach is to develop predictive models


Distributed inertial sensor network possesses low cost, high fault tolerance and high reliability. Based on the configuration of the sensor network structure, the relationship between the main and child nodes' inertial outputs is analyzed in the distributed inertial sensor network. The new method of transfer alignment is researched by distributed inertial network technology. On the condition that the carrier structure has serious deformation, the carrier deformation estimation can improve the alignment accuracy of the sub-navigation system. Therefore, the inertial measurement matching algorithm modified by Three-Axis Attitude Determination (TRIAD) algorithm is proposed to estimate carrier deformation angle. The simulation results show that the precision of the inertial information in the sub-navigation system is improved by estimating carrier deformation angle to transfer alignment.


A variable market demand, a large product variety, a short product life cycle fast developments in production technology as well as an ageing workforce consisting of considerable amounts of temporary workers, form today's context in which manufacturing companies perform. Companies that are able to deal with these challenges are a step ahead of their competitors. This requires a flexible organization, in which the ability to quickly learn new tasks and the stability of performance after learning is of high concern. We studied the learning of assembly skills in a mock-up experiment, where a common assembling task (i.e., build an object out of 6 components) was performed by young and older adults, following two methods of instructions invoking more or less explicit/conscious processes. The stability of the resulting learning was tested against the introduction of a modification in the task and its persistence was tested on a separate day (consolidation). Main results were (1) lower performance of older adults compared to younger persons after a fixed period of learning, (2) the more explicit method of introduction give better results for the older people (within the younger group both methods lead to equal results), and (3) a short task modification leads to a loss in quality, particularly in the older group. The main conclusion is that younger and older people are able to learn. Older people would benefit more from technology support in the workplace, in particular individually adjusted types and amounts of instructions.


Enamel hypoplasia may be the result or environmental, systemic or genetic events that interfere in the development of a normal enamel
matrix. The present study describes cases of deficient enamel
development in patients of the Research and Dental Treatment Center for Special Patients (FOP - Unicamp). With this purpose a first survey was carried out to select patients with complete teething
in the period of August to December, 2003. Considering this period of time it was identified 31 children that presented some kind of enamel deficiency and showed 175 affected teeth. Greater frequencies
of enamel deficiency were observed in second molar teeth, followed by first molars, canines, lateral and central incisives. Vestibular
and occlusal tooth faces were those more frequently observed in the studied sample.
Key words: pediatric dentistry, enamel defects, hypoplasia.


Microgrids (MGs) have become an increasingly familiar power sector feature in recent years and goes through the increase of renewable energies penetration. MG is defined as a group of interconnected loads and multiple distributed generators that is able to operate in grid-connected or islanding mode. Recent reports claim dramatic growth in projects planned for hundreds of GWs worldwide. Notably, following to many natural disasters, the concept of MG and its perceived benefits shifted beyond economic and environmental goals towards resilience. Consequently, MGs have begun to find a natural place in the regulatory and policy arena. Remote areas, facilities with low-quality local energy resources and critical infrastructure are all potential need the MGs solution. However, MGs have some disadvantages as the complexity of control and integration to keep the power quality to acceptable standards. The energy storage system requires more space and maintenance. Finally, protection is one of the important challenges facing the implementation of MGs.

The present doctoral research is based on the philosophy of MGs for optimal integration and power management in an effective and efficient way to provide a sustainable and reliable power supply to consumers while reducing the overall cost.

This work proposes a novel control strategies and design approaches of micro-grids for remote areas and grid connected system in which both the reliability of continuous power supply and power quality issues are treated.

Moreover, this thesis also introduces the concept of Net Zero Energy House in which the system is designed in such a way that the house produces as much energy as it consumes over the year. Many controls algorithms have been investigated in order to find the best way to reduce the sensors' number and the degree of control complexity while keeping better power quality as well as the system reliability. The developed concept is successfully validated through simulation as well as extensive experimental investigations. Particular attention is paid to the optimal integration of MGs based on the climate data of Central African States.

They were characterized by IR and 1H NMR.


This last chapter of Part I introduces very recent mathematical advances of deep interest to the field of wireless communications, related to the limiting behavior of the extreme eigenvalues and of their corresponding eigenvectors. Again, the main objects which have been extensively studied in this respect are derivatives of the sample covariance matrix and of the information plus noise matrix. This chapter will be divided into two sections, whose results emerge from two very different random matrix approaches. The first results, about the limiting extreme eigenvalues of the spiked models, unfold from the previous exact separation results described in Chapter 7. It will in particular be proved that in a sample covariance matrix model, when all population eigenvalues are equal but for the few largest ones, the l.s.d. of the sample covariance matrix is still the Marc̆enko–Pastur law, but a few eigenvalues may now be found outside the support of the l.s.d. The second set of results concerns mostly random matrix models with Gaussian entries, for which limiting results on the second-order behavior of extreme eigenvalues are available. These results use very different approaches than those proposed so far, in particular the theory of orthogonal polynomials and determinantal representations. This subject, which requires many additional tools, is briefly introduced in this chapter. For more information about these tools, see, e.g. the tutorial [Johnstone, 2006] or the book [Mehta, 2004]. We start this section with the spiked models.

thinking. Another stage theorist, Eric Erikson (as cited in Berk) focused on psycho-social stages within adolescent development proposing that this is a period where each adolescent formulates their own identity. The risk of identity confusion is included in Erikson's psychosocial stages identified as occurring in the transition between childhood and adulthood (as cited in Berk). Erikson (as cited in Berk) described this risk as feelings of isolation, doubt, anxiety and indecision. Furthermore, these traits may interfere with the individual's ability to enter the next stage of development (Berk). Research has demonstrated that adolescence is a critical period for understanding the etiology and course of emotional disorders (Price & Lento, 2001). Chorpita and Barlow (1998) developed a model to test the effects of early life experiences and perceived lack of control on the development of specific cognitions that certain events may be out of one's control. Findings demonstrated that the specific cognitions tested represented a psychological vulnerability for the development of both anxiety and depression. Chorpita and Barlow inferred that if a lack of perceived control over a given situation makes one vulnerable to maladjustment, then perceived control might contribute to normative development. Unfortunately, anxiety is often dismissed as a developmentally normal component of a teenager's life (Price & Ingram, 2001). This perception may explain the lack of existing research about emotional difficulties in adolescence. Theorists have also examined abnormal development in adolescence by focusing on individuals who are generally at risk. No single theory has been able to capture the whole picture of normative or abnormal development (Price & Ingram, 2001). The inability of a single theory to explain all aspects should not be seen as a shortcoming.

ABSTRACT Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) imagery can provide valuable observables at different frequencies for classification tasks. In this paper, we assessed separability rate of various polarimetric features in three frequencies of X-, C-, and L- bands. To this end, Jeffries–Matusita distance was firstly used to measure separability of each polarimetric feature in each frequency band. Random Forest classifier was then applied to map various land cover classes in study area. The classification outputs indicated that C-band results were better and more reliable than L-band results and L-band results were subsequently better than X-band results. These results were perfectly compatible with the results obtained by the separability analysis of multifrequency PolSAR features.


Conventional personalised-face neutralisation methods use facial-expression databases; however, the database creation and maintenance is a tedious process, and should be minimised. Moreover, face-shape template should be also considerably used due to its crucial factor. This study proposes a personalised-face neutralisation method using best-matched face-shape template with neutral-face database. In personalised-face neutralisation, the best-matched face-shape template which is assumed as the most similar to the neutralisation expression face is found based on coarse-to-fine concept, and used for warping textures. Additionally, closed eyes are detected and opened up by using eye shape of the best-matched face shape, and mixed intensities of original closed-eye and the best-matched one. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, experiments were performed using the CMU Multi-PIE database and the results reveal that the proposed method reduces gradient mean square error 0.07% on average and improves face recognition accuracy by 1.13% approximately comparing with the conventional method, while requiring only a single neutral database without expression images.

The technologies of ultrasonic extraction and microencapsulation of red pigment(RP) from Myrica rubra pomace were studied.The optimized ultrasonic extraction conditions of RP were obtained by an orthogonal design: material/liquid ratio,pH,time and ultrasonic power as 1 ∶ 12 g·mL-1,1,40 min and 400 W,respectively.By the single factor experiments,the technological conditions of microencapsulation of RP from M.rubra pomace were as follows: the ratios of Arabic gum to maltodextrin(wall materal) and the core substance to wall material was 1 ∶ 3 and 1 ∶ 14,respectively;the contents of sucrose fatty acid ester(emulsion) and pururan(viscous agent) were 0.6% and 0.5%,respectively.Stabilility experiment of microencapsulation RP indicated its resistibilities to acid,heat and light were significantly increased.


The problem is to automate the processing of a large number of aerial surveys to track what appears to be a strong increase in the number of modern houses in rural areas where they were previously rare. Here, "modern house" means a house with several planes in its roof (as opposed to thatched rondavels and flat-roofed shacks). The data are generated by LiDAR captured at a fairly low altitude. Each data file contains heights (in metres) above ground in a square of 600× 600 metres (the actual number of data points vary, typically of the order of 105 to 106. These are the points at which the laser of the LiDAR apparatus reflected back to the aeroplane and are interpreted to be the height of a solid object, typically a building or a plant (a shrub or a tree). We investigated a simple way of clustering LiDAR data points so that each cluster contains a particular object, be it the roof of a house, or a tree. The clustering is done in the horizontal plane by determining the convex hull of points that are closely clustered. From these it is easy to obtain a rectangular bounding box for the convex hyll. The bounding box is used as a mask to extract LiDAR data for a candidate house. We hope that the Hough transform will suffice to get a reliable measure of the number of planes in the candidate house, thus allowing machine classification of all the houses in the image. ∗Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, South Africa.email: firstname.lastname@example.com †Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Pretoria, Hartfield 0028, Pretoria, South Africa email: firstname.lastname@example.com ‡Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University Cape Town, Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa email:firstname.lastname@example.com Global Change Institute, University of the Witwatersrand. email: firstname.lastname@example.com


Based on the sensing principle of optical fiber F-P pressure sensor,a kind of multi-peaks average improved algorithm better than peak-peak method was proposed in view of the fringe counting method during phase demodulation method. Data preprocessing was realized through filter function and then the total local extremum points of one cycle were found. According to Grubbs criterion,gross errors were eliminated to obtain the relationship curve between cavity length change and pressure applied.On the basis,theoretical simulation was established using MATLAB and related experiments were taken on after the implementation of optical fiber sensing pressure testing system. By employing the designed demodulation method to complete the comparative analysis of the experimental results,the improved algorithm can significantly inhibit the indeterminacy of strain measurement system and enhance the stability of the cavity length,thus confirming the method of MEMS optical fiber pressure sensing system performs a potential high possibility.

The New Brunswick Music Scene Archive (NBMSA) was founded in 2015 to document the musical life—primarily the independent rock, punk, and hardcore music—of New Brunswick, New Jersey, home of Rutgers University. The NBMSA builds on local music archives' common use of documentation strategy to build collections and connect with donors by engaging the scenes approach from popular music studies. The scenes approach allows archivists building local music archives similar to the NBMSA to consider cultural roles and practices; relationships, memories, and meaning-making among participants; inclusivity; and the key role of physical and virtual spaces into their collection development and appraisal work and outreach. Through the lens of the NBMSA this article presents examples of how the scenes approach can be applied in documenting underground, hidden, and virtual networks that archivists may not be privy to; in considering affect in collection development, appraisal, and outreach; and in recalibrating the advisory board concept.


Purpose of writing this article is to inform the effectiveness of these two propaganda tools. This study is an efectivity measuring of the factors empathy, persuasion, impact, and communication with a quantitative paradigm. Data collection is done by questionnaire, observation, and literature study. The questionnaire was distributed to 46 audiences of the Jasad band concert in a purposive manner. In contrast to pop music, extreme music such as death metal is difficult to be accepted by the public. However, in some areas in Indonesia, especially in Bandung this type of music still has loyal fans. In order to be maintain the continuity of death metal music in Bandung and West Java, the Bandung Death Metal Syndicate community and Jasad band have carried out propaganda against death metal fans with the kujangrompang logo and pancegdinagalur jargon. The results of this study concluded that panceg dina galur was more effective (3.75), and communication factors contributed greatly (4.10).


the Expulsion of the Germans from Eastern-Central Europe (1961) under the editorship of Theodor Schieder have been translated into English. In Germany the expulsions have given rise to a substantial literature, much of it, to be sure, in the form of personal memoirs or polemics advocating the rights and interests of expellees and their descendants. The collection of essays edited by Wolfgang Benz, Die Vertreibung der Deutschen aus dent Osten (1985), provides a useful and balanced introduction to this topic. No doubt there is a need for a comprehensive scholarly study of the expulsions in English, but de Zayas' book is too superficial and intemperate to even begin to meet this need.


In this paper we give a brief review of traditional surveillance systems drawbacks and aims to design and develop an efficient surveillance system using multiple smart ultrasonic sensors to detect any kind of suspicious activity around a secured block like home, corporate offices, ATM and smart environments. The multiple ultrasonic sensor modules are used for intruder detection. The Majority Voting Mechanism (MVM) algorithm is used for multiple sensors which state that if more than half sensors in a sensors group show the detection, the MVM initializes the camera. The camera module is used to capture the images of intruder detected in surveillance area. The captured images are uploaded to internet using LAMP server, which user can easily observe it. The alert of detection is also provided to user through GSM.


A theory is developed for a two-layer inertial model of the Gulf Stream. Both layers are in motion, but it is assumed that the ratio of the geostrophic drift in the lower layer to that of the upper layer is small. Approximate analytical solutions are obtained under this assumption. In addition, a criterion for the existence of inertial boundary currents is established. An important result is the prediction of deep and surface countercurrents to the east of the high velocity part of the Stream. These are due to the effect of bottom topography. Another important result is that the interface at the coast comes to the surface at a lower latitude if the deep water is in motion, and that the intersection of the interface and the sea surface extends out to sea in a northeasterly direction from the coast. The theory of the flow near the line of zero upper layer depth is as yet incomplete. DOI: 10.1111/j.2153-3490.1968.tb00391.x

Objective To study the Schwann cell derived neurotrophic factor(SDNF) promoting the nerve regeneration of end - to - side neurorrhaphy in rat. Methods Twenty four female SD rats were divided into experimental and control group randomly. In every rat, peroneal nerve was transected on one side randomly and the distal end sutured to the side of tibial nerve with perineurial window by an end-to-side way, and the other side served as normal control. SDNF (10 μg/ml) in every two days was injected in the muscle of lateral aspect of the leg for two weeks in end-to-side neurorrhaphy side in the experimental group,and only 0.1 ml normal saline was injected the control group. 12 weeks after operation, histologic and electrophysiological examination were performed and wet weight of anterior tibia muscles were examined to evaluate the quality of the regenerated nerve of end-to-side neurorrhaphy .Results The quality, number and conductive velocity of the regenerated peroneal nerve in the experimental group were significantly superior to those in the control group, and inferior to those in normal peroneal nerve. Conclusion SDNF could promote the regeneration of peripheral nerve after end-to-side neurorrhaphy to some degree.


The production of a physiologically active emanation by ripening fruits has frequently been demonstrated by biological tests, including leaf epinasty, respiration effects, potato sprout abnormalities, and the triple response of etiolated legume seedlings (11). HUELIN (8) first noted the analogy between these effects and those produced by small concentrations of ethylene, and GANE (4, 5) first showed by chemical means that the active volatile substance produced by apples was actually ethylene gas. An inferential proof, partly chemical and partly biological, that ethylene is produced by pears was achieved by HANSEN and HARTMAN (7), and NIEDERL, BRENNER, and KJLlJEY (10) demonstrated ethylene production by bananas. PRATT and BIALE (11) found that the climacteric rise in carbon dioxide production by ripening avocado fruits was accompanied by a cycle of production of a gas, presumably ethylene, which caused the triple response of etiolated pea seedlings. The purpose of the present study was to identify chemically this active emanation and to develop a technique which would simplify the isolation and identification of ethylene as a probable volatile product of other fruits.


The aim of this article is to optimize the design of Hero Honda Passion brake drum (i.e. through reverse engineering approach). Optimization is done by changing the material of the brake drum, under different braking time and operational conditions. Brake drum is optimized to obtained different stresses, deformation values, rise in temperature on different braking time and heat transfer rate. Optimized results obtained are compared for Aluminium and CE (Controlled Expansion) material alloys. It concludes that the CE (Controlled Expansion) alloys can be a better candidate material for the brake drum applications of light commercial vehicles and it also increases the braking performance.


AIM To investigate the humoral immune responses to the immunization of mouse BALB/c with the HBV preS gene and the hIL2 preS2 fusional gene. METHODS HBV preS gene was cloned into the pUC18 hIL2 plasmid, which was connected with the 3terminal of the hIL 2, then the hIL 2 perS fusional gene were inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pCMV4. The pCMV4 hIL2 preS and pCMV4 preS were built and expressed transiently in COS 7 cells. After purification, the different plasmids were injected into the muscle of BALB/c, respectively. Serum antibodies from the immunized mice were detected by ELISA. RE SULTS Enzyme cutting identification showed that the hIL2 preS and the preS had been inserted into pCMV4. Three out of seven mice in the group of injection of pCMV4 preS plasmids produced the preS2 antibodies. Three out of seven in the group of pCMV4 hIL2 preS achieved the hIL 2 antibodies, but it could not get the preS2 antibodies in this group. CONCLUSION Immunization of the preS gene is able to induce the response of humoral immunity in mice. Injection of the hIL2 preS fusional gene into the muscle of mice could cause production of hIL 2 antibodies which may have negative effect on preS gene immunization.

Heat and moisture exchanger filters (HMEFs) are widely used during general anaesthesia to humidify gases and protect the breathing system from expired infective droplets. One of the major advantages includes the prevention of microbial contamination in the breathing circuit which holds a major significance during this evolving coronavirus pandemic. However, they can alter the ventilatory parameters in a mechanically ventilated patient.[1] Moreover, these can alter the capnography waveform, particularly in paediatric patients and can cause the capnogram to disappear altogether. We hereby wish to highlight an unusual case scenario wherein the HMEF resulted in the disappearance of capnography waveform in a neonate under general anaesthesia.

We consider a singular differential oper- ator ∆ on the half line which generalizes the Bessel operator. Using harmonic analysis tools corresponding to ∆, we construct and investigate a new continuous wavelet transform on (0, ∞( tied to ∆. We apply this wavelet transform to invert an intertwining operator between ∆ and the second derivative operator d 2 /dx 2 .

T wo OPPOSITE ERRORS regarding glossolalia-the modem technical tenn for "speaking in tongues," coined in the nineteenth century and based on the New Testament expression glossais lalein ( I Cor. 14: 5; cf. Acts 10:46)-have consistently dogged interpreters of the New Testament through the centuries. Both have, at times, been fraught with serious consequences for the faith and order of the Church; both have involved a distortion of the only direct evidence we have, the New Testament writings themselves. In each case, the principle of a strict exegesis of the text has yielded to the pressure of other factors, emotional or sectarian in origin, and the result has been "eisegesis" and then false doctrine. On the one hand, church history ( not to mention the contemporary scene) affords us many examples of those who have read into the New Testament the conviction that glossolalia is the inevitable sign of the bestowal of the Spirit upon an individual or company. Citing selected texts, these Christians would have us believe, perforce, that ability to "speak in tongues" ( while admittedly inferior to other "gifts") is, nevertheless, the sine qua non of Christian spirituality; it is the sign of being "Spirit-filled," of being a "real Christian." On the other hand, those who have been rightly concerned about the~ sibilities for heresy inherent in such a position, not to mention those whose motivation has been, perhaps, less defensible ( e.g. those whose chief concern has been to seek-always, of course, on purely rational grounds !-for religion without emotion), have not seldom been betrayed into denying or repressing plain biblical assertions. This tendency is best illustrated in the words of a contemporary theologian who, when presented by a student with the question, "What do you make of the fourteenth chapter of I Corinthians?" promptly quipped, "Is there a fourteenth chapter of I Corinthians?" Unfortunately, there have also been those who, going much further still, have arrived at the curious (not to say, dangerous) position where anything resembling or purporting to be New Testament glossolalia is indiscriminately described as "the work of the devil." In the stormy controversy in the Corinthian Church, which St. Paul is asked to settle, both of these attitudes can be seen emerging. This is, of course, obvious in the case of the maximizing view of "tongues" ; clearly there were those at Corinth who elevated the more spectacular manif estations of the Spirit out of all proportion to their actual value-but it is no less true of the opposite or minimizing position. Paul's final words on the


When debris flows, landslides, or any gravitational mass flows hit closed or partially open water sources such as seas, oceans, fjords, hydraulic reservoirs, mountain lakes, bays, and landslide dams, it results in tsunami (impulse water waves) by transforming their impact energy to water body, potentially causing damages of infrastructures and human casualties both near field and the distant coastlines. The intensity of hazard depends on the scale, location and process of the landslide, and also on the reservoir volume and topography that surrounds it. Volume or size of the initial release mass that fails and slides along a slope is one of the dominant factors to determine the degree of splash, propagating speed and the amplitudes of the fluid waves, and potential dam breach or water spill over. Here, we numerically integrate the two-phase mass flow model [Pudasaini S. P., J. Geophysi. Res. 117(F03010), 2012] for quasi-three-dimensional, high-resolution simulation results with variation of size of the two-phase initial landslide or debris both longitudinally and laterally. In our numerical experimental results, we observe fundamentally different solid and fluid evolution and wave structures in the reservoir. There are also significant differences in the flow dynamics of solid under water for different volumes of the release mass by extending or contracting the base area along downslope and/or cross-slope directions. The simulation results show that tsunami amplitudes and run out extents are rapidly increased when the volume of the initial release mass in the form of a triangular wedge is increased by increasing the base area through the increment of the length and breadth of the release base. This study can be useful to develop and implement tsunami hazard mitigation strategies to enhance public safety and reduce potential loss due to landslide-generated wave hazards.
