The centralized distribution of a large number of power equipment in the switchyard of 500kV substations leads to complicated magnetic field distribution in the switchyard. High-voltage open circuit breakers under maintenance will generate induced currents, which is a safety hazard for circuit breaker maintenance workers. This article first measures the induced current of the circuit breaker, cable, grounding grid, and two grounding wires and the grounding switch in the 500kV switchyard of the substation, and then measures the power frequency magnetic field in the 500kV switchyard of the substation. simulation Research. The measurement and calculation results show that the peak-to-peak value of the induced current generated by the circuit breaker in the 500kV switching field in the 500kV switching field is 3.93∼7.33A, the magnetic induction intensity ranges between 0.44∼8.76µT, and the maximum power frequency magnetic field intensity is mainly concentrated Below the second bus, the closer to the normal working bus, the greater the magnetic induction intensity, which leads to the greater the induced current generated in the high-voltage open circuit breaker. When the high-voltage open circuit breaker is under maintenance, the ground wire is suspended at both ends of the circuit breaker to effectively reduce the induced voltage, thereby ensuring the safety of the operators.


In mammals, immature oocytes are surrounded by a layer of flattened cells. At this early stage of development, these "follicle cells" and the plasma membrane of the oocyte are in close proximity. As the oocyte matures, the follicle cells multiply and become cuboidal or radially elongated, and a jelly-like substance containing polysaccharides (1) appears between the oocyte cortex and the follicle cells. When fully developed, this jelly will constitute the zona pellucida (ZP). Although separated by the zona pellucida, the bodies of the follicle cells and the mature oocyte maintain a close relationship throughout the life of the latter. Two cellular extensions effect this relationship: the multibranched prolongations of the follicle cells, and slender microvilli arising from the oocyte surface. Clearly, the zona pellucida contains both cellular extensions and amorphous substance. The present observations on rabbit follicles are intended to elucidate two problems that arise in considering the nature of these two components-the relationship between follicle and oocyte surface, and the origin of the amorphous substance. The material examined in this work was obtained from recently matured female rabbits and fixed in OsO4 dissolved in a solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone ("periston" Bayer), according to a method outlined in a previous communication (10). Cellular Extensions and the Relationship between Oocyte and Follicle Cells.--Many authors have interpreted the follicle cell prolongations as anastomotic bridges connecting the cytoplasms of follicle cell and oocyte (6, 8); others consider them to be extensions of the follicle cells that end at the oocyte surface, thereby forming a contact relationship only (2, 5, 7). Histologists seem to favor the second opinion, but Kemp's recent observations in the electron microscope (4) have caused new interest in the first concept. In a recent EM study of rat oocytes at various stages of growth, S0telo and Porter state that they could find no evidence of continuity between oocyte and follicle cell cytoplasms in their electron micrographs (9).


1
Infrared spectra of nonoriented films of PGA-Na were measured in the region of 3 μ and 6 μ both at discrete relative humidities (H2O and D2O) and under continuous variation of relative humidity between 98% and <5%.

2
The H-D-exchange of the different conformations of PGA-Na films depending on the relative humidity was observed by means of the decrease of intensity of the amide A band (for nomenclature of the amide group frequencies, cf. ref. [17]).

3
Results:

a) As in the case of the amide I(I′) and II(II′) bands [1,2] the position and intensity of the amide A band are dependent on conformation. Its maximum occurs at 3305 cm−1 for α-helical structure and at 3280 cm−1 for the β-conformation.

b) The formation of α-helix reaches a maximum value between 75 and 80% relative humidity. Above 80% relative humidity an increasing amount of random-coil or expanded helical structures are found.

c) When the relative humidity was decreased from about 75% to 69–67% (D2O) an unordered conformation was found to occur as the metastable intermediate state of the known αβ-transformation. This is manifested by a strong increase of the H-exchange rate and characteristic changes in the position and intensity of amid I(I′) and II(II′) bands.

d) H-exchange rates were found to vary drastically between the three conformations. At 25°C, the following half-life values were determined: α-helix (at 75–80% r.h. D2O) about 56 min β-structure (at 60–74% r.h. D2O) about 25 h unordered structure (at 67–69% r.h. D2O) <2 min

e) There is a hysteresis observed between the αβ and the βα-transformation dependent on relative humidity. Decreasing the relative humidity the αβ-transformation starts at 67% and inceasing the relative humidity the βα-transformation begins at 74%.

4
The strong differences in H-exchange rates of the three conformations are explained by different interactions between water and peptide groups.


The motion aftereffect causes a visual stimulus to undergo apparent motion. An adapting stimulus, which moves in a specific direction, adapts motion-responsive neurons in the middle temporal area (V5) to that direction of motion. Viewing a second stimulus, known as a test stimulus, produces apparent motion in the direction opposite that of the initial stimulus. Neural networks involved in attention and working memory are also implicated in the motion aftereffect. Despite extensive documentation in the literature, there is little known about the mechanisms of the motion aftereffect. This review discusses established knowledge of the motion aftereffect, focusing primarily on the middle temporal area. Variants of the motion aftereffect that are in line with the established mechanism are discussed, namely the phantom motion aftereffect and sensory-contingent motion aftereffects, which incorporate color and visual surroundings into the production of the motion aftereffect. This optical illusion provides insight into motion processing as well as memory. The motion aftereffect causes a visual stimulus to undergo apparent motion. Looking at a moving "adapting stimulus" for a substantial period of time and then switching to another "test stimulus," which can be stationary or moving, will cause apparent motion in the direction opposite that of the initial stimulus.

In a double-blind, randomized study the efficacy of Ro 15-1788 as a benzodiazepine antagonist was evaluated in patients anaesthetized with flunitrazepam. The effects were compared with a comparable group of patients who did not receive the antagonist. Ro 15-1788 significantly reversed the sedative and hypnotic effects of flunitrazepam and reduced the degree of anterograde amnesia. No side-effects were attributable to the drug.


Molecular phylogeny inferred from rbcL nucleotide sequences obtained from the single sterile filaments of green algae collected around the perimeter of Lake Baikal indicates the polyphyletic origin of the representatives of genus Spirogyra Link., 1820 inhabiting the lake. The common ancestor of all Baikal Spirogyra dates back at least to 20 MYA. This roughly coincides with the age of continuously existing freshwater body in the confines of current Baikal. The descendants of this node include both Baikal and non-Baikal species and thus suggesting a complex history of multiple emigrations and immigrations. There is at least one major lineage of the Baikal Spirogyra in the phylogeny descending uninterruptedly from the common ancestor of all Spirogyra species found so far in the lake. The likely explanation is its permanent presence in the ecosystem. All this allows us to hypothesize that the current bloom is a spectacular but natural response of the Baikal ecosystem to the increased pollution.

Alexithymia is a psychoemotional trait associated with many treatment-resistant psychological and social difficulties. Research suggests that these difficulties stem primarily from an inability to appropriately apply linguistic labels to emotional experiences and content. The present research introduces and preliminarily evaluates a novel mindfulness-informed exercise to improve emotion-labeling ability in alexithymic persons. Based in culturally universal patterns of somatic experience, the Emotion Mapping Activity (EMA) directs alexithymic persons to reflect on their internal, somatic experiences as a source of information for interpreting and labeling emotional experiences. In the present study, 67 alexithymic persons completed a series of emotion-labeling tasks either with or without assistance of the EMA. Results suggest that completion of the EMA may improve ability to label emotions that would be otherwise misinterpreted - without interfering with labeling that is already intact. Though further research is necessary, the present study suggests that the EMA may hold the potential to be incorporated into psychotherapy protocols as an exercise for improving emotion-labeling ability in alexithymic clients.


Seepage properties of fractured rock mass are of prime importance for hydraulic engineering and accurate description of rock fracture geometry parameters is an important and basic task in rock hydraulics. In this paper, an improved K-means clustering algorithm for structural plane of fractured rock mass was first brought forward and the corresponding Matlab program for discontinuity orientations partitioning was compiled and then used in the fitting analysis of dominant orientations of certain dam foundation rock mass. On this basis, combining calculation formulas of multi-group fractures, the permeability tensor and principle value was calculated for the actual dam foundation. The results provide a theoretical and computational reference for other similar projects.


In the problem of resolving the pathology of the cervix in recent years, a lot of information about etiology, causes of origin, diagnosis and treatment has been accumulated. The article summarizes the new possibilities of diagnosis and treatment of the pathology of the cervix, which contributes to a significant improvement in the resolution of the problem of the pathology of the cervix. There are 4 main groups of etiologic factors that lead to morphofunctional changes in the cervical epithelium. In the course of a violation of the transformation of the epithelialization of the cylindrical epithelium, the violation of local and humoral immunity is important. The definition of apoptosis index is a new modern method for predicting the development of precancerous and cervical cancer. Routine but informative methods for diagnosing cervical pathologies such as cytological and colposcopic, in recent years, have been replenished with an important immunohistochemical diagnostic method for detecting p161NK4a cellular protein, as well as by fluorescence spectrometry. The presented complex of diagnostic researches allows us to choose the method of adequate treatment of pathological processes taking into account the age of the patient, the nature and degree of severity of epithelial changes, the type of cervical and vaginal flora, as well as the hormonal status of the patient and concomitant pathology.

Human emits waves to surrounding through thinking and imagining that these waves are converted to electrical signal by the pineal gland of brain and then, flow in the nerve cells and neurons. By using electrodes and sensors placed on the head of a person,today it should be found which parts of the nerves are stimulated;and person's intention is realized through it and algorithms are designedby this information and robot is designed in form of a program to act on the basis of person's thinking. The research is mainly used to examine the brainwaves and its types and the way of its production and effectiveness on surrounding environment and its functional roles without electrodes. The aim of this practice is to accelerate the wave function without dependence on electrodes and wide impact on the environment and transforming objects to robots without physical and receiving and algorithmic dependence.Of course, receptivity and algorithm may be searched within our genes and it is enough to apply this algorithm. Looking at the behavior of past extraordinary people and people who have healing force, these issues need to be further investigated, because there were and are people who can move objects or cure a person by thinking power that all of these are done without any object and intermediate; and only the willing of a person is an issue which stems from generating brainwaves and its effectiveness on the environment. This is what we actually and explicitly follow it.


The study utilized a stress-process model to investigate the relationships between race related stress, culture-specific coping and professional quality of life in a sample of Black nursing assistants working in the U.S. Despite the invaluable work provided by paraprofessionals providing direct health care services, little was known about their professional quality of life. Therefore the study was additionally exploratory and descriptive, with additional analyses aimed at yielding preliminary data regarding salient demographic, professional quality of life and stress-related variables of Black nursing assistants. Similarly, despite a large body of literature establishing compassion fatigue and burnout as workplace stress disorders impacting helping professionals there was a complete dearth regarding the professional quality of life of occupational nursing assistants. Results indicated Black nursing assistants experienced significant levels of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction but not burnout. Further, exploration of the subjective impact ofrace-specific stressors found Black nursing assistants experienced significant levels of race-related stress, the life stressor understood as the psychological impact of racism, prejudice and discrimination. Additionally, the hypothesized impacts of race-specific stressors and cultural protective factors on professional quality of life were explored. Results indicated significant relationships between race-related stress and the factors ofprofessional quality of life, whereby lower levels of race-related stress were associated with compassion satisfaction and higher levels of race-related stress contributed to the development of burnout in Black nursing assistants. Results revealed no significant impacts of the employment of culture-specific coping on professional quality of life. Finally, in light ofresilience within the context of continued racial discrimination, the study explored a proposed moderating effect of culture-specific coping


The liver X receptors (LXRs) are transcriptional regulators of cellular and systemic cholesterol homeostasis. In the setting of cholesterol excess, LXR activation induces the expression of a battery of genes involved in cholesterol efflux 1 , facilities cholesterol esterification by promoting fatty acid synthesis 2 , and inhibits cholesterol uptake by the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) 3 . The fact that sterol content is maintained in a narrow range in most cell types and in the organism as a whole suggests that extensive crosstalk between regulatory pathways must exist. However, the molecular mechanisms that integrate LXRs with other lipid metabolic pathways, are incompletely understood. Here we show that ligand activation of LXRs in liver not only promotes cholesterol efflux, but also simultaneously inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis. We further identify the long non-coding RNA LeXis as one mediator of this effect. Hepatic LeXis expression is the study performed the majority of mouse experiments and data analysis. participated in mouse experiments and data analysis. performed RNA-seq experiments and validated LeXis as an LXR target. and processed and analyzed next-generation sequencing data.

A new formulation of Reward Landscape and Aquatic Herbicide (Reward QIT) was recently developed by Syngenta to alleviate problems associated with particulates in the former formulation (Reward). Reward QIT was tested in outdoor tanks to compare its herbicidal activity to the older Reward formulation. No differences in herbicidal activity were observed between the two formulations when applied to hydrilla ( Hydrilla verticillata L.f. Royle) at 0.25 ppm diquat dibromide cation or 0.25 ppm diquat dibromide cation plus 1.0 ppm copper. Also, no differences in herbicidal activity were observed between the two formulations when applied to, duckweed ( Lemna minor L.), waterhyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes Mart Solms), or waterlettuce ( Pistia stratiotes L.). Greater than 95% control was observed against all floating species tested when either formulation was applied at 4.7 or 7.0 l/ha. Reward QIT applied at 2.3 l/ha resulted in 92% control of duckweed and waterhyacinth and 96% control of waterlettuce. Additional waterlettuce plants were treated with 0.09, 0.18, 0.28, 0.56, or 0.84 l/ha of either formulation to determine if subtle differences in herbicidal activity could be observed at the lower rates. No differences were observed between equal rates of the two formulations at these lower rates, and all rates resulted in lower dry weights of waterlettuce after 24 days as compared to untreated plants.

The paper contains four theorems concerning first order necessary conditions for a minimum in nonsmooth optimization problems in Banach spaces: a Lagrange multiplier rule for a mathematical programming problem in which an infinite dimensional equality constraint is included in the constraints, a general maximum principle for nonsmooth optimal control problems with state constraints, and a kind of multiplier rule for mathematical programming problems which applies when only finitely many equality constraints are present but when the Lipschitz continuity assumptions are removed. A summary of relevant background results from analysis is provided.


The generated relic gravitational waves underwent several stages of evolution of the universe such as inflation and reheating. These stages were affected on the shape of spectrum of the waves. As well known, at the end of inflation, the scalar field ϕ oscillates quickly around some point where potential V (ϕ) = λϕn has a minimum. The end of inflation stage played a crucial role on the further evolution stages of the universe because particles were created and collisions of the created particles were responsible for reheating the universe. There is a general range for the frequency of the spectrum ∼ (0.3 × 10−18 − 0.6 × 1010)Hz. It is shown that the reheating temperature can affect on the frequency of the spectrum as well. There is constraint on the temperature from cosmological observations based on WMAP-9 and Planck. Therefore, it is interesting to estimate allowed value of frequencies of the spectrum based on general range of reheating temperature like few MeV ≲ Trh ≲ 1016 GeV, WMAP-9 and Planck data then compare the spectrum with sensitivity of future detectors such as LISA, BBO and ultimate-DECIGIO. The obtained results of this comparison give us some more chance for detection of the relic gravitational waves.


Low energy critical infrastructure monitoring (LECIM) applications are rapidly increasing, whose common requirements derived from the type of communications performed include reliable data transfer, energy efficiency, long deployment lifetime, and low infrastructure cost. A low rate wireless personal area network (WPAN) can help control and manage the operations of such applications. To facilitate point to multi-points communication for LECIM devices, the IEEE 802.15.4k task group is formed as an amendment to IEEE 802.15.4. In this paper, we first review the main activities of TG15.4k with the updated status and the structure of LECIM networks. Then, after analyzing the interference issues in the LECIM system, especially for the direct-sequence spreading spectrum (DSSS) physical layer, we propose the interference mitigation schemes by combining time division multiplexing (TDM), frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and code division multiplexing (CDM). Furthermore, to mitigate the homogeneous interference more effectively, the orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes based CDM are analyzed. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the proposed interference mitigation schemes has robustness against the interference under the LECIM multi cluster environments.


Walter Benjamin, who was familiar with the pre-Second World War avant-garde, argued that mechanization threatens the aura of art objects. The digital revolution has been seen as reconfirming Benjamin's thesis, but the digital can be seen to reaffirm the value of the actual, physical artist's book, and moreover, artists have exploited the digital—as technologies and subject matter—to make artists' books.


This essay urges a broadening of the discourse of library and information science (LIS) to address the convergence of forces shaping the information environment. It proposes adopting a model from the field of science studies that acknowledges the interdependence and coevolution of social, cultural, and material phenomena. Digital archives and library collections are technocultural artifacts. To understand the entanglement of technologies, institutions, and practices in the production of the digital archive, we must transcend disciplinary divisions and engage in more nuanced and historically informed analysis. This work will provide an appreciation of the myriad ways in which tools shape and inflect the research process.


Comprehensive Development Planning is undertaken at different scales (i.e. national, regional, provincial, and city or municipal levels) that consider several issues in different sectors. Comprehensive Development Plans or Multi-sector plans, therefore, consists of several sector plans (i.e. economic plans, social development plans, economic plans, institutional plans, infrastructure plans, environmental management plans, and land use plans) that are interrelated and harmonized. In an effort to decentralize governance and to transform Local Governments Units into self-reliant communities, the Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7160) was enacted by the Congress of the Philippines. The Local Government Code devolved many of the powers, authority, responsibilities and resources to the Local Government Units (i.e. cities and municipalities). Among the responsibilities transferred to the LGU is the formulation of a "Comprehensive Development Plan" that has come in the form of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). The land use plan, as the physical translation of the LGU's vision, goals and all sector plans, is considered the centerpiece of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. In the CLUPs of most cities and municipalities, tourism is considered an economic activity and therefore merely incorporated as a sub-sector in the economic plan. Tourism, however, is recognized as a major economic activity that contributes significantly to GNP and creates tremendous employment and livelihood opportunities. Many sub-regions and LGUs have tourism as their main economic activity and many more have resources and potentials for major tourism development. Such LGUs or areas should pay more attention to planning their tourism development. Tourism Planning is a specialized field that is also comprehensive in its approach looking into structure planning, environmental management, land use planning, tourism marketing, tourism product development, human resource development, community 1 Michael V.

It is interested in this study to develope mesh-structure applied Gum Metal (one kind of titanium alloy, also called Gum Titanium) plates with high biocompatibility, elastic deformability and comparatively lower elastic modulus for implant applications. Meshed gum metal plates with excellent 3-demensional flexibility and light-weight performance compared to usual metal plate implants are designed parametrically using 3D CAD tools for different bone graft applications. Mechanical properties like tensile/compression and bending stiffness and volume densities of sample meshed gum metal plates are experimentally and analytically evaluated with respect to different design parameters like basic mesh shapes, mesh line width etc.


i DISCLAIMER The contents of this report reflect the views of the authors who are solely responsible for the facts and the accuracy of the data presented herein. The contents do not necessarily reflect the official views and policies of the National Center for Asphalt Technology of Auburn University. This report does not constitute a standard, specification, or regulation. ii ABSTRACT Mineral aggregates used in hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures have some porosity and as such tend to absorb some amount of asphalt cement. Several indirect and direct methods for estimating or determining asphalt absorption have been researched in the past. However, there is a need to study the asphalt absorption phenomenon as related to the physical properties of the mineral aggregate and asphalt cement binder. Eight mineral aggregates of different absorptive characteristics, geologic origin and mineral compositions were selected from the SHRP Materials Reference Library (MRL). Four asphalt cements ranging from AC-5 to AC-30 grades were also obtained from SHRP MRL. A total of 96 HMA mixtures were prepared and tested for asphalt absorption. Physical properties of aggregates (including pore characteristics) and asphalt cements were determined. Generally, the asphalt absorption decreased with increase in viscosity (at the mixing temperature) of the asphalt cement. A high percentage of maltene (oil) fraction in asphalt cement is likely to increase the total asphalt absorption possibly due to selective absorption. There appears to be a threshold pore diameter of 0.05 micron in the aggregate below which no appreciable asphalt absorption takes place. The most important pore size range affecting the asphalt absorption appears to be 0.05-0.1 microns.


The impacts of geology and engineering processes on the quality of mining influenced waters (MIW) in Philippine copper porphyry mines were studied. Acid mine drainage-metal leaching (AMD-ML) is a common phenomenon in pyrite-rich copper porphyry deposits and said factors determine to a large extent the acidity or alkalinity of the final effluent waters discharged by an active or defunct mine to the environment. After characterization using micromineralogy, pyrite concentrates and mine tailings were leached in the laboratory (accelerated weathering) by bubbling by air to determine the main factors that affect its degradation and the subsequent formation of acidic waters. As observed in the leaching runs, interfering ions, like those of copper, act as buffers and delay the leaching out of heavy metals; similarly, various minerals dissolve, and specific ions precipitate, at various pH levels. Process lime, used in the recovery of copper from the porphyry deposits, provides a very important source of neutralizing capacity. The same behavior was observed in waters that have percolated from surrounding limestone and other alkaline rocks that find their way inside the mine. Precipitates were also characterized to determine the fate of leached-out metals after the acidification and neutralization processes.


We consider an exactly solvable, one-dimensional model for binding energies of shallow impurities in quantum wells in which the three-dimensional Coulomb impurity potential is replaced by a one-dimensional contact (Dirac \ensuremath{\delta}) potential. We show that many features of previously reported three-dimensional binding-energy calculations are qualitatively reproduced by our model.


A wireless mouse based on head control is proposed to control the moving direction of computer cursor by sensing the titling direction of user's head. This kind of operational approach make the non-arm disabled using computers realized. The direction induction module is used to sense the tilting of four directions. With the MCU timer, automatic execution of left-click and double- click is available. The MCU of receiver controls the moving and the time to click of the computer cursor. Data transmission of short distance between mouse and receiver is available by using NRF wireless technology, which can make the non-arm disabled control a computer cursor easily. The system provides the disabled a more comfortable way to control the computer. The design has much potential to be applied to lots of occasions.

Fenianism was the name, sometimes celebrated sometimes excoriated, given to the Irish revolutionary and republican movement active in Ireland and Britain from the late 1850s through to the First World War. It had sister organisations in the U.S.A. and elsewhere, the most important being the Irish-American Clan na Gael which bankrolled the organisation. Fenianism was organised through the Irish Republican Brotherhood (I.R.B.), under the leadership of the Supreme Council, and hierarchically structured around circles under the direction of a series of county centres. The Supreme Council consisted of a representative of each of the four provinces of Ireland, as well as one each from England, Wales, and Scotland. At various points in its history, provision was made for further nominees to join its highest deliberations. The membership was bound by an oath, committing it to secrecy and a readiness to fight to achieve an Irish republic when so instructed. Fenian orthodoxy demanded that Irish independence be achieved before attempts were made to address other Irish problems because only an independent Irish government could do so legitimately. The I.R.B. was also a secular organisation, strongly opposed to 'priests in politics', believing the clergy's role should be confined to the spiritual realm. The catholic hierarchy in Ireland responded in kind, condemning Fenianism and threatening known members with excommunication. From the mid-1860s Cardinal Cullen sought a papal denunciation of the movement by name, which he got in 1870.


In this paper, we examine whether and to what extent the predictive power of credit spread for real economic activity can be enhanced by using additional information via wavelet approach. In doing so, we first apply the wavelet analysis to the Korean real GDP data, and present evidence that the business-cycle component of wavelet-filtered series closely resembles the series obtained from an approximate band-pass filter. Given the recent empirical findings that the credit spread has a useful explanatory power for future economic fluctuations, we also suggest that the business-cycle component of the credit spread can better predict the probability of a recession than the usual time- domain analysis. The wavelet methodology used in this paper can naturally be applied to any sets of economic and financial time series to unveil their structures and hence to enhance their predictive contents.


With the upsurge of urban air mobility, compound V/STOL vehicle enter a new boom round. There is a long research and development history for compound vehicle, but remain rare studies on the full-mode flight control. In this work, a UAV compound with double-mode rotor and wing is introduced and typical flight profile and flight stage division of the UAV are described. Then flight dynamics model of the UAV is built based on explicit blade element method. And a robust adaptive full-mode control scheme is designed based on adaptive neural network augmented nonlinear dynamic inversion. The derivative-free adaptive strategy is adopted to achieve fast adaption. A control allocator is designed based on the dynamic allocation method to coordinate the rotor and the aerodynamic surfaces. Simulation results illustrate superior full-mode flight control performance of the proposed scheme.

Secondly, the weight of index is determined and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is proposed. Finally, results of instance analysis show that the evaluation model is feasible and effective.


Abstract. A detection dog and handler team were used to recover scats in areas newly colonized by wolves outside the Alpine mountains of France between October 2018 and May 2019. Survey areas were classified as occupied by a resident wolf pack (WP) or dispersers (no-WP). The efficiency of monitoring by a targeted dog-handler team was compared to opportunistic monitoring by trained observers. Use of the detection dog allowed up to 99.6% time savings relative to monitoring by trained observers. Wolf scats found by the dog represented 82.1% of genetically confirmed samples in the 12 sample units (each being 10 × 10 km) monitored by both trained observers and the dog-handler team. Occupancy modelling was used to estimate wolf detection probabilities. Ten kilometres of survey with the dog were required to reach a 98% detection probability in WP territories and 20 km to reach 96% in no-WP areas. By contrast, two years of opportunistic monitoring by trained observers were required to obtain a 90% and 76% probability of detecting wolves in WP and no-WP areas, respectively. The use of the detection dog via dog-team surveys greatly increased the collection of viable samples for genetic analysis and individual genotype identification. Our study offers further confirmation that dog-handler teams can be very effective at locating scats from target carnivores, to supplement or complement human search efforts.


Background: Progressive post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm infants strongly predicts abnormal neurologic development, and often accompanies cystic periventricular leukomalacia (cPVL). Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), associated with hydrocephalus, can upregulate the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) synthesis. To date, CSPG and their nitrated metabolites (NT-CSPG) have not been evaluated in hydrocephalus. Objectives: We hypothesized that TGF-β1, TGF-β2, CSPG, and NT-CSPG would accumulate in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in preterm hydrocephalus, and their concentrations would correlate with poor long-term outcomes. Methods: TGF-β1, TGF-β2, CSPG, and NT-CSPG concentrations in CSF were measured prospectively by ELISA in 29 preterm newborns with (n = 22) or without (n = 34) progressive post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, and correlated with progressive neonatal hydrocephalus and neurologic outcome. Only concentrations from each patient's initial CSF sample were used for statistical analysis. Results: Compared to neonates without hydrocephalus, CSF [TGF-β1], [TGF-β2], [CSPG] and [NT-CSPG] were significantly greater by >3-, >35-, >8-, and >3-fold, respectively. Unlike CSF [TGF-β2] and [CSPG], [TGF-β1] correlated with CSF [total protein]. Only CSF [NT-CSPG] correlated with cPVL. Unlike [TGF-β2] or [CSPG], [NT-CSPG] correlation with preterm progressive post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PPHH) was explained entirely by the presence of cPVL among these patients. [TGF-β2] was >20-fold greater in preterm survivors who required a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for PPHH (n = 9), as compared to survivors who did not require a shunt (n = 2), or those without hydrocephalus (n = 12). [TGF-β2] and [NT-CSPG] correlated inversely with Bayley Index Scores (15.0 months median adjusted age). Conclusions: This is the first report that [TGF-β2], [CSPG], and [NT-CSPG], measured well before term, accumulate abnormally in preterm progressive post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus CSF, and correlate with adverse neurologic outcome.


Objective: To study the distribution of the Adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) in skeletal muscle of people with hypertension in young and middle age. Design and Method: 30 biopsies of skeletal muscle of patients with hypertension I -III degree at the age of 25 to 60 years were operated on for traumatic shoulder fractures. As a control, biopsies of skeletal muscle 10 volunteers were used, operated on for traumatic fractures without hypertension and other comorbidities. Expression of the receptor to adipokines-1 was determined by immunohistochemistry using a primary polyclonal rabbit antibody against AdipoR1 (Santa Sruze, sc-99183, USA, 1: 500). Secondary antibody and streptavidin were obtained from Thermo scientific. The images were processed using the program Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Image J. The significance of differences between groups (at p <0,05) were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney factor. Results: Precipitate density of the muscle fibers in patients with hypertension was focal and took significantly less space than in the control group (21,85 ± 12,34% against 63,76 ± 24,14%, p < 0.005). The color intensity in hypertension also was significantly lower compared with the control group (93,97 ± 18,45 and 162,04 ± 19,76, p < 0.05). At the same time, unlike the control, in patients with hypertension, large area representation receptor adipokine secretion installed in the connective tissue (40,27 ± 25,21%, in the control group − 4,89 ± 17,01%, p < 0.005). However, the precipitate density in the connective tissue in both groups was comparable to each other (114,97 ± 30,51 and 144,97 ± 10,51, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Thus, the shoulder in biopsies of patients with hypertension observed misplacement of receptor AdipoR1 compared with the control, namely the reduction of the area and intensity of the secretion of the receptor in muscle tissue and an increase in its intensity with preservation of connective tissue.


Objective:To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in schizophrenic long-term inpatients and its relative factors.Methods:Schizophrenic inpatients treated in our hospital for at least 6 months were investigated.Metabolic indexes were measured.The criteria of metabolic syndrome were based on the consensus definition released by the International Diabetes Federation.Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 43.8%,increased with the age.The daily smoking patients may be vulnerable to suffer from metabolic syndromes;It was higher in no-smoking female than that in no-smoking male patients(47.6% vs.29.4%,P0.01).Atypical antic-psychotics drugs may be more easily to suffer from metabolic syndrome than typical antic-psychotics drugs(49.8 vs.37.9%,P0.05).Conclusions: In the psychotic wards,smoking should be proposed to be given up,and as for the use of atypical anti-psychotics,especially on the patients of Clozipine,whose concerning indicators the metabolic syndrome be monitored regularly in the process of treatment,to reduce the risk of this metabolic syndrome.


During the past decade, x-ray therapeutists in this country have been especially interested in the development of supervoltage roentgen therapy. In Germany, however, where the cost of radium is prohibitive, physicists and radiologists have devoted some attention to the construction of low voltage x-ray machines for therapy in attempts to approximate the same conditions obtained in radium treatment. The superior value of radium as it is generally used in the treatment of cancer cannot be attributed to a more selective action of the gamma rays than of x-rays on cancer cells but rather to the fact that the radium-skin distance is short and that most of the energy is absorbed in the tumor and tumor bed. Radium has given excellent results in the treatment of superficial cancers because of this characteristic distribution of the dose in tissues. The effect obtained from interstitially placed radium element needles or radon seeds in


Since the discovery of topological spin textures called magnetic skyrmions [1,2], they have been heralded as candidates for information carriers in future computing applications [3]. To realize this goal, much progress has been made using an electrical current to drive skyrmion motion. Many skyrmion motion applications rely on the assumption that the skyrmions are rigid under electrical current application [4,5]. Here we show experimentally by real space observations of skyrmions under an applied current that skyrmions deform with surprising severity, even by small currents.


The standard of care in the assessment of suicidal patients is outlined within the context of the legal system and process regarding malpractice actions. Specific guidelines for reasonable and prudent caregiving are discussed. Particular reference is made to the need for contemporaneous documentation of evaluation and treatment decisions, calling attention to the clinician's need to attend to good clinical practice versus an overconcern with issues of clinical malpractice.

The main therapeutic principals of this method are described. The work is done in the Research and Clinical Center for Neuropsychiatry of Moscow Healthcare Department.


Purpose
Globalization and increased outsourcing have contributed to increased supply chain complexity, exposing firms to greater vulnerability in the areas of product safety and supply chain security. Meanwhile, stakeholders pressure firms to ensure that their products are safe, and their supply chains are secure. Drawing from stakeholder theory, this paper aims to explore how the supply chain characteristics of distance and power affect the adoption of consumer protection (CP) practices, which ensure product safety and supply chain security.

Design/methodology/approach
Using primary survey data from a sample of Canadian manufacturing firms, this research examines the relationships among supply chain characteristics, adoption of CP practices and firm performance.

Findings
Analysis supported the use of two practices related to product safety (consumer education and product design) and three practices for supply chain security (packaging, tracking and authenticity). Greater cultural distance between the focal firm and its suppliers was positively associated with investments in safer design practices, while increased geographical distance between the focal firm and the customer was significantly related to increased consumer education. Moreover, as power of a focal firm relative to its suppliers increased, so too did investments in supply chain security. Finally, CP practices were related to improved operational performance along multiple dimensions.

Originality/value
This research focuses on the critical role of two key stakeholder groups in improving product safety and supply chain security: suppliers and customers. The authors add to the theoretical discussion of product safety and supply chain security by identifying critical differences between suppliers and customers for the focal firm. Second, the research informs the managerial community of the potential benefits of investments in CP practices.


This research is producing digital cartographic models of the urban space of Rome, NY. Working between two software packages for spatial visualization that are now ubiquitous in architecture (FormZ) and geography (ArcView), the project takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how available data sources and modes of visualization enable or discourage particular understandings of urban space. The project is designed specifically to work within, and develop, a critique of the constraints of the two software packages. Rather than encouraging a deceptively smooth integration of what may be fundamentally incommensurable forms of knowledge, this project begins with the premise that vocabularies and conceptions of space vary considerably in various disciplines, as do the modes of visualization that each has developed to represent, document, examine, and produce space.


Market liquidity, corporate governance and their impact on the market value of firms are usually studied separately. However liquidity, with its operational and informational characteristics, has as much influence on shareholder value, especially as it interferes with other corporate governance mechanisms, even constituting the cost of market monitoring. In this working paper, we present the models linking ownership structure, controlling shareholders and liquidity. The presentation of these theoretical and integration tools creates the framework of global corporate governance that should be validated by empirical evidence.


Analyzing musical compositions is an activity to observe and pay attention to deeper compositions. One way to know or understand the beauty of the work well is analyzing the elements of the song music, knowing the history of the composer, and the characteristic of the era of what the song was created. By examining more in a song, it is expected to help in singing or playing, analyzing the song correctly. The analysis is very important in understanding the beauty of classical music in the listening, so that someone better know what the composers mean when creating the work and can enjoy the work of classical music. Likewise, the piano music lesson which is composed by Antonio Diabelli on Sonatines. the composition of Sonatine by Antonio Diabelli Op. 168 No. 2, it consists of three parts/movements, the first part i9s with the tempo of Allegro Moderato (♫ = 116) along with the details of musical elements per bar and consisting of 45 bars played with medium tempo, second part with the tempo Andante Sostenuto (♫ = 84) along with details of music elements per bar and consisting of 29 bars played very slowly, and the third with Rondo Allegro tempo (♫ = 126) along with details of musical elements per bar and consisting of 30 bars that were played quickly. The song that consists of three parts contains the elements of music in general, such as duration, dynamic, picth, and timbre.


The article discusses the problems of waste disposal methods that do not cope with the task of environmentally friendly disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW). The comparison of destruction and thermal destruction methods (plasma gasification in particular) are given.


We have previously described our experiences with pantopaque, including the spinal fluid reaction and the comparative value of the medium in contrast myelography (2). Preliminary notes were given as to its absorbability in 65 of 300 cases in which spinograms were made. Observations were carried out at varying intervals following the procedure, with the following results: Roentgenograms of the skull were taken in 48 cases and 14 of these (29 per cent) showed small amounts of pantopaque in the basal cisterns. Little material has appeared dealing with the absorption of pantopaque. Mayfield (1) mentioned that when a few droplets were retained, absorption took place in two to four months. In 2 additional cases in which 3 to 4 c.c. of oil remained, none was present on examination six months later. Ramsey, French, and Strain (3) gave the average estimated absorption rate as 1 c.c. in one year. Wyatt and Spurling (4) obtained follow-up roentgenograms of 6 patients from nine to fifteen months after injection. They...


Starting from the well-known circumstances of his birth, the essay offers an appreciation of four novels by Charles Dickens, David Copperfield, Little Dorrit, Dombey and Son, and Oliver Twist, which display an interesting juxtaposition between the protagonists' birth and their parents' death. In paying attention to his characters' birth, Dickens moves along the path traced by eighteenth-century master novelists like Defoe, Fielding and Sterne, who introduced specific biographical data in their works that were meant to respond to the aristocratic idea of lineage. Interestingly, in Dickens's novels the attention to biography is accompanied by either good-tempered humour or trenchant satire, apt to oppose the materialism of his age, which looked at individuals not as human beings, but as quantifiable entities. "Items" indeed. Taking my lead from the recent world-wide celebrations of the bicentenary of Dickens's birth, and from some unique biographical circumstances related to his birth, I should like to focus here on aspects that make his literary representations of similar events in his novels also in many ways unique and memorable, and such as to be part and parcel of his distinctly modern identity. The word "item", to mean the new-born protagonist in Oliver Twist, is one of the most evident signs of such uniqueness. It makes us aware that then, for the first time in history, individuals were born not as human beings but measurable facts, quantifiable entities, in a world in which the scientific perspective, down to its extreme utilitarian version, Benthamite or Malthusian, was going to have an almost unquestioned hegemony all 1 For an early discussion of Bentham and Malthus's theories and Oliver Twist, see Steven Marcus, Dickens: from Pickwick to Dombey, Chatto, London, 1965, pp. 59 and 64 ff. Marcus finds a tendency to abstraction in that novel, which "is itself, in a sense, genuinely Malthusian—or at least Ricardian. In the society of Oliver Twist, relations between men have been reduced to abstract calculations, and men themselves have been transformed "Born an item", SQ 7(2014) 102 through the nineteenth century. Dickens's novels, while accepting that perspective in their realistic approach, also oppose and indict it, in goodtempered humour or trenchant satire. But first of all, it is worthwhile noticing that there is a remarkable number of births in the corpus – all the more remarkable with respect to the number of more famous deaths one meets with in the history of the novel at large, due to our «sense of an ending», in Kermode's phrase. Dickens too has proved death to be of high literary and biographical interest. Most notably – to make just a few examples – in The Old Curiosity Shop Little Nell's impending doom pervades the whole narrative; in Dombey and Son, the same applies to Paul; in Bleak House, Jo the crossing-sweeper is another case in point; and even Oliver Twist has many death-bed scenes of people «dying very hard». Against such a background, the number of birth-events stands out, and in some instances they possess peculiar narrative relevance. Thus Dickens appears singularly versatile in the ars nasciendi as well as in the ars moriendi. In paying attention to birth, he took the lead from the eighteenthcentury masters of the novel who, in shaping the new genre in contrast with the romance tradition, introduced specific biographical data absent in previous narratives ding to the aristocratic idea of lineage. «I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull», writes Defoe in Robinson Crusoe, having bourgeois questions of virtue in mind. And Fielding, who cared about similar birth-data, freed them from diegesis, and set them in mimetic scenes. In Tom Jones, Squire Allworthy is into isolated and dehumanized objects".

Patten, Capitalism and compassion in Oliver Twist, in Studies in the Novel , 1, 1969, pp 207-20. 2 On this subject see George Levine, Darwin among the Novelists: Patterns of Science in Victorian Fiction, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1991. 3 John Kucich, Death Worship among the Victorians: The Old Curiosity Shop, in "PMLA", 95.1, 1980, pp. 58-73, passim. 4 Steven Marcus, Dickens: from Pickwick to Dombey cit., p. 70. 5 Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe, Dent, London, 1972, p. 5. 6 On "questions of virtue" see Michael McKeon, The Origins of the English Novel, 16001740, University of Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1987, passim.


Forecasting (Forecasting) is an attempt to predict the future state through state testing in the past. Predicting sales means determining the approximate size of the volume of sales, even to determine potential sales and market-controlled area in the future. For it is necessary to use eective sales forecasting so that companies can predict the future sales as an objective of forecasting. In scienti c writing, the author uses three methods of sales forecasting, methods of 3-month Moving Average, Weight Moving Aver- age and Exponential Smoothing 3 months to know the bike sales at stores Resources Jaya Makmur period of August 2011. From the calculation of the three methods is known that bicycle sales forecast for the period August 2011 by us- ing the Moving Average of 101 units with sales of real bike between 88 to 114 units with a bike and error rates (error) for 118 units of the bike. And bike sales forecast for the period August 2011 by using the method of Weight Moving Average of about 105 units with sales of real bike between 94 to 117 units with a bicycle as well as the error rate (er- rors) of 103 units of bicycles. While bike sales forecast for the period August 2011 by using the Exponential Smooth- ing of 102 units with sales of real bike between 78 to 125 units of bicycles as well as error rates (error) for 258 units of the bike. So in this more precise sales forecasting method Weight Moving Average of 3 months because this method has an error rate the smallest unit of 103 bikes. Penamaan File: 10208981


Goal. To reveal peculiarities of formation of ecological prospects of tourism development within Drohobych urban system.

Method. The study used analytical, comparative-geographical, cartographic and synthetic methods.

 Results. The prospect of this territory for ecological tourism in urban systems is shown - since it is characterized by the location within the satisfactory ecological state of forest landscapes, accessibility for all types of tourist groups, developed infrastructure and the presence of environmental problems, which often need immediate solution. Thus, territories such as the Drohobych Urbosystem create the prerequisites for obtaining aesthetic preferences, cognitive bases, as well as environmentally oriented knowledge in the implementation of tourist routes.
In general, "branding" of cities in the development of the tourism industry is a multifactorial phenomenon, which depends on its natural, historical and architectural attractiveness as well as on its ecological status, which acts as an ecological basis and general ecological background. (a necessary background that creates a natural environment beyond which it is impossible to consider the ecological effect of anthropogenic impact aimed at providing comfortable environmental conditions (natural conditions that affect life, health, production and non-productive activities of people) for tourists. That is, the environmental safety of an urban environment is a condition of a certain section of a city that eliminates harmful effects or its threat, its inhabitants and visitors, created by anthropogenic or natural influences, correspond to the formation of a natural and cultural environment that is consistent with sanitary, aesthetic and material needs. [7]

Scientific novelty is the development of theoretical, methodological and medical principles for the identification of tourist regions as an object of study, the identification of their specific features and patterns of functioning. Assessment of the environmental safety of the environment of tourist attractive urban areas should be a mandatory component of the city's brand, which is developed with the aim of obtaining the following results: improving the socio-economic and cultural development of the city; development of all forms of business in the city; tourism development; promotion of investment activity; participation in national and regional development programs; participation in international cooperation programs.

The practical importance lies in substantiation of the mechanisms of formation and implementation of the strategy of development


Darwin`s climate is hot and humid and as a result the use of residential air-conditioners is high. Although this technology allows the occupant to achieve thermal comfort, its use contributes directly to an increase in the emission of greenhouse gases. More environmentally-friendly ways of achieving residential thermal comfort in this climate need to be investigated. One method is to improve the home`s passive design. The aim of this research was to increase the thermal comfort of typical Darwin homes without the use of air conditioning. Temperature data from two houses (lightweight elevated and concrete) was recorded over a nine-day period and used to validate a TRNSYS simulation model of each house. Simulations were run using these validated models and three months of climatic data (January—March) to evaluate various passive design strategies. The success of three strategies was analysed using PMV and PPD indicators. As a single strategy, it was found that ventilation and air velocity by far increased the level of thermal comfort for occupants of both houses. Although the passive design strategies of increased shading and insulation were beneficial, Darwin`s ovemight low temperature and humidity are still too high to reduce these levels within the house significantly without air conditioning.


With increase in the number of laparoscopic procedures being performed, the incidence of port site complications has also increased proportionately. Infection and port site hernia are the commonest of the complications. Port site hernias are more prone to complications in view of the irregularity and narrowness of the defect. A case of an incarcerated umbilical port site hernia is presented to highlight the complexity of the problem and the surgical challenge that it poses.


Hypocotyl explants of three cul ti vars of melon (Cucumis melo L.) (cvs. Revi- gal, Topmark and Kirkagac), and a cu cum ber (C. sativus L. cv. Taoz) rapidly di rect ly regenerated multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog medium aug ment ed with 4.4 µM benzyladenine. Re gen er a tion from the hypocotyl resulted in near ly 100% diploid shoots, whereas regeneration from the cotyledons resulted in 40% to 70% poly p loid regener- ants. Regeneration from cot y le don explants of melon cv. Revigal required light, whereas regeneration from hypocotyl explants of melon cv. Revigal occurred in both light and darkness. Direct regeneration also occurred from the hy po cot yl of cucumber cv. Taoz in both light and darkness, even though cotyledonary ex plants did not regenerate buds or shoots under the same conditions. This is the fi rst report of regeneration from the Cucumis genus producing a fully diploid plant pop u la tion. tech nique may alter the rate of pro duc tion of tetraploids in tissue culture of melon and other Cucumis species (Adelberg, 1998; Adelberg et al., 1994; Guis et al., 2000). Con se quent ly, in our studies of a new re gen er a tion pathway from the melon hy po cot yl, we tested our new regen- erant pop u la tions for ploidy, and we report for the fi rst time regeneration of near 100% diploid pop u la tions from the genus Cucumis. Additionally, we determined the light re quire ment for regeneration from hypocotyl and cotyledon explants, as light is known to affect in vitro morphogenesis (Lercari et al., 1986), and show that photocontrol of re gen - er a tion responses differ between cotyledon and hypocotyl explants. Materials and Methods Seed germination. Melon seeds (Cucumis melo L.) of cultivars Revigal (an Israeli 'Ga- lia' type) (Hazera Seeds, Israel) and Topmark (a U.S. Western Shipper can ta loupe type) (Asgrow Seed Co., Kalamazoo, Mich.) with seed coats re moved, were surface ster il ized for 20 min in 1% sodium hypochlorite, with two drops of Tween 20 (polyoxyethylene- sor bitan) per 100 mL. Af ter washing with sterile distilled water, seeds germinated on Murashige and Skoog (1962) (MS) medium with 3% sucrose, MS vitamins and 8 g·L -1


The constructions of national and cultural identities in Ireland have been contemporaneous and, in the Irish psyche, synonymous with one another. The Irish theatre canon at the tum of the last century, engineered by W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and J.M. Synge, inter alia, came at the height of modernism but harked back to a pre-modem and pre-colonial Gaelic native culture in an attempt to establish a peculiarly Irish body of literature and drama. The simultaneous interest in the revival of the Irish language joined with Yeats to form part of a cultural resistance to British Home Rule and the struggle for independence. Theatre used as allegory (as in Yeats's Cathleen Ni Houlihan, for instance) for such a struggle made the medium highly politicized. Subsequently, as a new nation emerged and was forged, the drama from that early period became enshrined as the new national culture. In particular, in establishing an alternative. to the colonial representation of the Irish, such drama also established a tradition ...


Ensuring the safety of traffic, highway capacity and rated speed to highway and at the confluence of traffic flows, evaluation of various planning schemes road junction and intersections from the point of view of traffic safety and to ensure the maximum possible throughput, as well as to create favorable conditions for entry into the vehicle the main traffic flow with a given ratio speed reduction is a major challenge in the design of highways. It is necessary to estimate the amount of space a priority stream that is taken car driver apriority flow, which provides secure entry vehicles secondary areas in the main traffic flow. Car drivers main traffic flow without inconveniences are exposed, that is, they do not have to reduce speed, and even more so to resort to manoeuvre, to avoid an accident. Also, you should determine the amount of reduction in the rate of traffic flow at various mainstream of the coefficient of velocity in the core area and the corresponding coefficients of the velocity at the convention, depending on the levels of comfort of the vehicles at the confluence of traffic flows, if provided technical design assignment.


Abstract For mass production, multiple color halftoning screen printing (MCHSP) can be considered as the alternative textile printing technology when vivid color gradation is needed and the cost of digital printing is a concern. Essentially, MCHSP utilizes the same equipment
 as traditional screen printing to print overlapping multiple color gradation under halftoning patterns by applying dedicated treatments on color separation and calibration. To ensure color quality, equipment calibration and tone curve compensation are required to compensate for the variables
 arising from equipment setup and heterogeneous fabrics. In this research, the authors present a procedure of tone curve compensation to eliminate the discrepancy from heterogeneous fabrics. The experimental results based on 55 samples of 44 different fabrics show the effectiveness of compensation
 and reveal the distribution of average compensation percentage across fabrics.


The invention discloses a hydro-fining catalyst roasted at a low temperature and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: taking aluminum hydroxide dry glue or modified aluminum hydroxide dry glue as a raw material to prepare a catalyst carrier, then impregnating metal active components in VIB and VIII groups and preparing the hydro-fining catalyst through drying and roasting. The content of an alumina carrier is 60-90 weight percent, the content of metallic oxide in the VIB group is 5-35 weight percent, and the content of metallic oxide in the VIII group is 1-10 weight percent. An activity phase of the catalyst has proper stacking layer number and film crystal length, the interaction between the carrier and metal is reduced, the better dispersion state of the active components can be kept, and the HDS (Hydro-desulfurization) ability of sulfide difficult to remove in an oil product is improved. The hydro-fining catalyst is particularly suitable for the hydro-desulfurization of naphtha, the hydro-fining of inferior diesel oil and the hydro-treatment of FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking) raw materials or hydro-cracking raw materials and other distillate oil.


Generation mean analysis was carried out to estimate the nature and magnitude of gene effects in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. Inadequacy of simple additive-dominance model reflected the presence of epistatic interaction. Ail the four traits In majority of crosses were under the influence of dominance gene effects. Higher magnitude of dominance and dominance x dominance gene interactions could not be exploited in the crosses with duplicate epistasis as it minimizes the expression of heterosis. Reciprocal recurrent selection and/or biparental mating in early segregating generations can prove to be an effective approach for development of high yielding sorghum varieties.


Conjugate addition of thiazolidinethiones and oxazolidinethiones to N-crotonylthiazolidinethiones and -oxazolidinethiones was observed in the presence of excess triethylamine in dichloromethane. The addition takes place by the nitrogen of the heterocycle with high diastereoselectivity. It was observed that the stereoselective addition occurs on the anti-s-cis conformation of the N-enoyl sulfur-containing heterocycle.


Agglomeration in spray dryers occurs by overlapping the spray patterns of multiple liquid nozzles and the airstreams containing recycled fine powder. In this work, the role of the recycled fines stream is explored by measuring the extent of agglomeration. Two scales are investigated, a small-scale dryer with nominal capacity of ~ 1 kg/h and a pilot-scale dryer of ~ 75 kg/h. Experiments were designed to investigate a number of parameters at three levels: low, medium and high about midpoints that represent typical operation at each scale. These operating points are representative of those available, or potentially available, to operators of agglomerating spray dryers: spray flow rate, spray solids concentration, spray droplet size, powder flow rate, and powder particle size. Drying conditions were kept as constant as possible and all experiments used skim milk powder. A measure of success, called the agglomeration efficiency, was developed based on examining the agglomerated product size distribution relative to the spray and fines. The efficiency reflects the proportion of particles sizes that disappear from the spray size distribution and then appear in the agglomerated product after the fines have been censored from it. Comparisons were made between the reference case of natural agglomeration when the dryer was run without fines, and later forced agglomeration trials with fines. These confirm that fines addition does promote agglomeration. Trials containing fines show that the extent of agglomeration depends principally on the mass flux ratio of fines to spray followed by the particle size of the fines; this can be linked to the probability of interaction between spray and fines in the turbulent interaction zone. The concentration of the spray liquid has a weaker effect on influencing forced agglomeration, but has a major influence on the final product particle size because high solids concentrations promote natural agglomeration when sprays interact. This relates to the development of surface stickiness which influences the success of collisions. The two scales of dryer have the same trends and approximately scale.

Background: Although numerous studies have identified and observed altered expression of microRNAs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), only a limited number of miRNAs were reported up to date, partially due to the limitation of sample size (less than or equal to 100 pair of paired samples). Thus, we performed a comprehensive analysis to improve the ability to detect miRNA expressed differentially in ESCC.
 Methods: The study datasets were systematically searched and downloaded from public available databases including European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), ArrayExpress and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Only datasets derived from ESCC patients were further screened and quality assessed using R programming language with ArrayExpress package. A total of 4 datasets covering 349 ESCC cases and 326 normal esophageal tissue samples (NE) were included in this study.
 Results: The analytic results showed that a total of 108 miRNAs were differentially expressed in esophageal cancer, of which 48 were up-regulated and 60 were down-regulated compared with the adjacent normal esophageal tissues. Moreover, we successfully identified 9 novel differentially expressed miRNAs that have not been discovered to associate with esophageal cancer in the previous studies. We also predicted top 5 potential target genes of these novel miRNAs.
 Conclusions: The bioinformatics based analysis summarized the current differential expression of miRNA in ESCC, and exploring unknown miRNA target genes provides guidance for discovering the new biomarkers of ESCC.


We study the problem of controlling a mobile off-shore base (MOB). After examining some special features of the system equations for the MOB group, we propose a centralized 'leaderless' control scheme and discuss its performance potential relative to a decentralized 'follow-the-leader' control. The proposed control scheme appears to offer significant performance advantages while remaining simple and robust.

The dilator includes a tubular member that has a distal end portion that can be expanded to compress the fatty substances. One embodiment of the dilator has a balloon or inelastic sack formed integrally with side walls of the tubular member and spaced from its distal end. A second embodiment of the dilator utilizes a tubular member formed by first and second spring wire guides encompassing a plurality of dilating wires surrounding a center pull wire. Near the distal end of the dilator, the spring wire guides are spaced from each other to define a buckling region for the dilating wires. When the center wire is pulled, a compressive force is applied on the dilating wires, so that the wires buckle, or expand, in the buckling region. In one modification of this embodiment, a thin elastic membrane encompasses the dilating wires and the buckling region. In another modification, the thin elastic membrane covers substantially the entire length of the dilating wires so that both pneumatic and mechanical compressive forces can be exerted on the fatty substances. The elastic membrane is positioned inside or on the outside of the spring wire guides. A further embodiment of the dilator utilizes a tubular member having a distal end split by longitudinally-extending slits. Rearward movement of a ball member positioned in front of the leading or distal end of the tubular member, after or simultaneously with rearward movement of a sheath encompassing the split end, forces apart the split end thereby dilating the artery and exerting a compressive force on the fatty substances.

Path planning for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) is a key issue for the success and efficiency of the missions these vehicles perform. This problem is very challenging, because it must cope with dynamic and uncertain models both for the vehicle and for the environment. In the case of ocean gliders, this aspect is critical due to the strong influence of ocean currents on the glider navigation. In this paper, we present a novel path planning scheme for gliders based on iterative optimization that shows promising results on realistic simulations, including highly time-dependent ocean currents. This method models the glider as an intelligent agent that senses the ocean currents speed and direction, and generates an path according to the predefined objectives. The method can be easily configured and adapted to various optimization problems. Here, we include an example of coordinated path planning, in which the paths of a fleet of gliders is optimized, subject to constraints. Also, the proposal reflects accurately the physical vehicle navigation and gives a superior performance when compared with other approaches.


In the Middle Ages, special invitation programs for both commercial and entertainment activities were held in the magnificent mansions of merchants or other wealthy people. Such parties were organized in two phases, feast and banquet. In big  Dr. Öğr. Üyesi, Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen Üniversitesi Tarih Bölümü.


Upon activation, T cells require energy for growth, proliferation, and function. Effector T (Teff) cells, such as Th1 and Th17 cells, utilize high levels of glycolytic metabolism to fuel proliferation and function. In contrast, Treg cells require oxidative metabolism to fuel suppressive function. It remains unknown how Teff/Treg‐cell metabolism is altered when nutrients are limited and leptin levels are low. We therefore examined the role of malnutrition and associated hypoleptinemia on Teff versus Treg cells. We found that both malnutrition‐associated hypoleptinemia and T cell‐specific leptin receptor knockout suppressed Teff‐cell number, function, and glucose metabolism, but did not alter Treg‐cell metabolism or suppressive function. Using the autoimmune mouse model EAE, we confirmed that fasting‐induced hypoleptinemia altered Teff‐cell, but not Treg‐cell, glucose metabolism, and function in vivo, leading to decreased disease severity. To explore potential mechanisms, we examined HIF‐1α, a key regulator of Th17 differentiation and Teff‐cell glucose metabolism, and found HIF‐1α expression was decreased in T cell‐specific leptin receptor knockout Th17 cells, and in Teff cells from fasted EAE mice, but was unchanged in Treg cells. Altogether, these data demonstrate a selective, cell‐intrinsic requirement for leptin to upregulate glucose metabolism and maintain function in Teff, but not Treg cells.

Individuals with an intellectual disability are one of the most underserved populations in the United States. They have higher rates of medical and psychiatric comorbidity when compared to the general population and face considerable healthcare disparity. Challenging behavior such as physical or verbal aggression is the most common reason why this population interfaces with the mental healthcare system. Understanding and correctly diagnosing the underlying etiology of challenging behaviors requires comprehensive evaluations along with awareness of the key variables that contribute to the occurrence of these behaviors. The differential diagnosis of challenging behavior is wide and includes mental illness, medical illness, pain, side effects from medications, behavioral phenotype of underlying syndrome, behavioral/functional, deficit of skills, and/or developmentally appropriate behavior.

In this paper we introduce a novel family of decision lists consisting of highly interpretable models which can be learned efficiently in a greedy manner. For discrimination tasks our model reduces to a sparse disjunction of features. We show on simulated data that the proposed model family is easy to train and exemplify its usability by identifying problem symptoms in a manufacturing process.


Projects may require additional approvals depending on the project budget, scope or impact on campus. These additional requirements will be discussed with the requester during the initial project assessment process. For example, site features may require a presentation to the Visual Arts Committee and the Architectural and Landscape Design Committee, both of which are subcommittees of the Faculty Senate.


The paper focuses on the goals, methodology and staging of the development of the multi-users shared transportation system in the water areas along the Northern Sea Route. At the same time similar in terms of technology (or even identical) transport operations performs many heterogeneous (multidepartmental) users. The proposed methodology is expected to provide the results of the study oriented to the optimization of separate transportation and economic complexes and eventually on the improvement of the performance and efficiency of separated industrial systems of different subordancy jointly using the Arctic transportation system.The given hypothesis and methodology of the study suggest the production of the regulatory framework in respect of the formation of an integrated (single) management of maritime shipping and activities of federal agencies of executive power.


Recently, the departments of Civil and Structural Engineering and Architecture at the University of Sheffield, UK, have introduced modules where architecture students undertake joint project work with structural engineering students. The experience shows that these modules have been successful and proved useful for the students from both departments. Architecture students gain a better understanding of structural efficiency and Engineering students develop a better appreciation of aesthetics and the importance of making the structural system an integral part of the architectural expression. This applies especially to the use of advanced structural systems where the three dimensional geometry of the system can contribute considerably to the quality of the project as a whole.


Healthy and strong body function was essential in the job of prison management, and smoking had been proved to induce negative impacts. Based on the health belief model, the current research explored the association among health belief on smoke -cessation, self-efficacy on ceasing smoke, and possibility of ceasing smoke among the prison officials. Samples were 182 officials recruited by snowball sampling method, 72.53% were male. Test results indicated the barrier to ceasing smoke had a lowest average 2.95(±1.04), followed by benefit of ceasing smoke (3.49±0.54), perceived susceptibility (3.51±0.75), perceived severity (3.59± 0.78), self-efficacy (3.65±0.77), and possibility of ceasing smoke (3.67 ± 0.99). As to the variance analysis, history of smoking and residence were two major variables that made the constructs different, whereas age and marriage contributed the least. Noteworthy was that the education is the major contributor to the difference of smoke-ceasing possibility among respondents. Results from regression analyses indicated that perceived benefits (β=.52) and perceived barriers (β=.23) were the two major predictors of smoke-ceasing, and the other independent variables (IV) were not significant in this model (adj. R 2 =.279). The variance explained increased to 48.3% (adj. R 2 =.483) in the model with additional variable of self-efficacy. Perceived benefits and perceived barriers were replaced by the self-efficacy, and made all original IVs not significant. This indicated the mediating effects of selfefficacy between predictors and smoke-ceasing. The current research suggested the judicial correction institute shall logically staff required officials for the jobs of prison management, and recommend several smoke-ceasing measures.


A digital Doppler processor, which will permit the Doppler center frequency of the measurement cell bandwidths to be adjusted to compensate for the effects of the Earth's rotation, will be used in the next NASA spaceborne scatterometer known as NSCAT. The authors describe the design and genesis of the NSCAT digital Doppler processor and discuss the performance tradeoff issues that were evaluated during the design phase. In this FFT (fast Fourier transform)-based technique, computation of the adjustment to the cell center frequencies will be done onboard using an approximate expression for the Doppler shift of the cell center versus orbit time. This technique also permits modification of the parameters used to locate the radar-backscatter-coefficient measurements cells by ground command in response to orbit changes. >


A challenge in Denmark in the near future is to balance the electrical grid due to a large increase in the renewable energy production mainly from wind turbines. In this work an aggregated control system using heat pumps in single family houses to help balancing the grid is investigated. The control system is able to adjust the consumptions of the heat pumps without affecting comfort in the houses and uses this ability to shift the total consumption to hours with high wind energy production.


The 31P CP/MAS NMR spectrum of cis‐[PtCl2(PPh2 nPr)(BzS{O}Bz)] was found to exhibit two central resonances with appropriate couplings to 195Pt, despite the fact that a single‐crystal x‐ray diffraction study indicated that the complex crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n with Z = 4, i.e. that there is only a single crystallographically unique phosphorus atom. The possibility that the 21 screw axis was absent (i.e. that the space group was actually Pn) was examined by a reinvestigation of the original x‐ray data, but no definitive evidence for the alternative space group could be obtained. An examination of a bulk sample of cis‐ [PtCl2(PPh2nPr)(BzS{O}Bz)] by x‐ray powder diffraction and comparison of the results with data from the single‐crystal x‐ray diffraction experiment revealed that the crystal selected for diffraction studies was a different polymorph from the bulk of the sample which was used for the 31P CP/MAS NMR measurements. X‐ray powder diffraction is thus shown to provide a valuable bridge between solid‐state CP/MAS NMR measurements and single‐crystal x‐ray diffraction data.


In Toni Morrison's controversial novel Sula,she mainly deals with the issue of black women. With the guide of black feminist perspective of Barbara Smith,i.e. the politics of race and the politics of sex,the female bonding is an efficient approach to the analysis of women's problem. Men are excluded from the women's bonding which has many forms and functions.

A biomass combustible gas normal-temperature gas transmission pipeline is formed by connecting a plurality of segments of pipelines through flanges. An anti-adhering layer preventing attachment of tar is arranged in each segment of pipeline. Each anti-adhering layer is formed by winding and stacking polyester films layer by layer. The upper surfaces and the lower surfaces of the polyester films are provide with liquid paraffin layers in a spraying mode. The anti-adhering layers are provided with longitudinal cuts in the length direction of the anti-adhering layers so that the polyester films forming the anti-adhering layers can be independently torn off layer by layer. When the gas transmission pipeline is used, the tar condenses on the outermost layer of polyester film, when the gas transmission pipeline needs to be cleaned, the layer of film is torn off so that the polyester films, not stained by the tar, on the inner layers can be exposed, and accordingly the pipeline is cleaned and the tar is prevented from blocking the pipeline. The two surfaces of each polyester film are provided with the liquid paraffin layers in the spraying mode, so that two adjacent polyester film layers can be easily torn and separated. Besides, the tar can not be attached to the polyester films easily.
