Alcohol consumption is responsible for 3.3 million deaths globally or nearly 6% of all deaths. Alcohol use contributes to both communicable and noncommunicable diseases, as well as violence and injuries. The purpose of this review is to discuss, in the context of the expansion of transnational alcohol corporations and harms associated with alcohol use, policy options for regulating exposure to alcohol marketing. We first provide an overview of the public health problem of harmful alcohol consumption and describe the association between exposure to alcohol marketing and alcohol consumption. We then discuss the growth and concentration of global alcohol corporations and their marketing practices in lowand middle-income countries, as well as in higher-income societies. We review the use and effectiveness of various approaches for regulating alcohol marketing in various countries before discussing challenges and opportunities to protect public health. 385 Click here to view this article's online features: • Download figures as PPT slides • Navigate linked references • Download citations • Explore related articles • Search keywords ANNUAL REVIEWS Further A nn u.

Here, using the probabilistic evaluation based on the Monte Carlo method, back-flashover rate and shielding failure flashover rate of 230 kV overhead transmission lines in the western regions of Iran are evaluated. To such an aim, first, the number of thunderstorm days per year is collected from the reported weather information in order to determine the ground flash density. Then, using MRU-200 equipment, the tower-footing resistance of several towers is measured. Matlab® software is used in order to produce lightning surges considering its probabilistic nature and randomly distribution on the ground to evaluate striking distance based on the geometric model. Then, calculated parameters are transferred to EMTP-RV software by establishing a link to perform the transient simulation and report the results for modelled 230 kV transmission line. Finally, considering IEEE-1243 standard, it is shown that due to high ground flash density, using 230 kV tower with one shield wire is not sufficient to protect the line against lightning phenomena.


Return-oriented programming is the predominant code-reuse attack, where short gadgets or borrowed chunks of code ending in a RET instruction can be discovered in binaries. A chain of ROP gadgets placed on the stack can permit control flow to be subverted, allowing for arbitrary computation. Jump-oriented programming is a class of code-reuse attack where instead of using RET instructions, indirect jumps and indirect calls are utilized to subvert the control flow. JOP is important because can allow for important mitigations and protections against ROP to be bypassed, and some protections against JOP are imperfect. This dissertation presents a design science study that proposes and creates the Jump-oriented Programming Reversing Open Cyber Knowledge Expert Tool, the JOP ROCKET. This is a novel framework for jump-oriented programming (JOP) that can help facilitate binary analysis for exploit development and code-reuse attacks. The process for manually developing exploits for JOP is a time-consuming and tedious process, often fraught with complications, and an exhaustive review of the literature shows there is a need for a mature, sophisticated tool to automate this process, to allow users to easily enumerate JOP gadgets for Windows x86 binaries. The JOP ROCKET fulfills this unmet need for a fully-featured tool to facilitate JOP gadget discovery. The JOP ROCKET discovers dispatcher gadgets as well as functional gadgets, and it performs classification on gadgets, according to registers used, registers affected, and operations performed. This allows researchers to utilize this tool to be very granular and specific about what gadgets they discover. Additionally, there are a variety of options available to modify how the gadgets are discovered, and this will expand or narrow the quantity of gadgets discovered. This design science research presents original


Reporter ion‐based methods are among the major techniques to quantify peptides and proteins. Two main labels, tandem mass tag (TMT) and iTRAQ, are widely used by the proteomics community. They are, however, often applied as out‐of‐the‐box methods, without thorough quality control. Thus, due to undiscovered limitations of the technique, irrelevant results might be trusted. To address this issue, we here propose a step‐by‐step quality control of the iTRAQ workflow. From sample preparation to final ratio calculation we provide metrics and techniques assessing the actual effectiveness of iTRAQ quantification as well as a novel method for more reliable protein ratio estimation.

Abstract Solubilities of L -aspartic, DL -aspartic, DL -glutaric, p -hydroxybenzoic, o -anisic, p -anisic, and itaconic acids in water were determined in the temperature range 278 to 345 K. From these solubilities the apparent molar enthalpies of solution at T =298.15 K were derived, and these are: Δ sol H m ( L -C 4 H 7 O 4 N, m =0.0379 mol·kg −1 )=26.7 kJ·mol −1 ; Δ sol H m ( DL -C 4 H 7 O 4 N, m =0.0590 mol·kg −1 )=30.8 kJ·mol −1 ; Δ sol H m ( DL -C 5 H 9 O 4 N, m =0.0965 mol·kg −1 )=27.3 kJ·mol −1 ; Δ sol H m ( p -C 7 H 6 O 3 , m =0.0488 mol·kg −1 )=41.9 kJ·mol −1 ; Δ sol H m ( o -C 8 H 8 O 3 , m =0.0197 mol·kg −1 )=28.5 kJ·mol −1 ; Δ sol H m ( p -C 8 H 8 O 3 , m =0.00169 mol·kg −1 )=28.1 kJ·mol −1 ; and Δ sol H m (C 5 H 6 O 4 , m =0.7605 mol·kg −1 )=33.7 kJ·mol −1 .


Automatic segmentation of videos is widely used for structuring and is a necessary preliminary step for many applications. In this report we propose an optimal strategy for the temporal segmentation issue on the basis of statistical modeling. The goal is to maximize the performance metrics of recall and precision directly, which is in contrast to the conventional approaches where the output segments are chosen based rather on intuition, by recovering, for instance, the most probable path through the model space. Application of optimal strategy requires the proper choice of model on the video of interest. Based on the theory of hidden Markov models and their extensions, we consider a video as a stochastic automaton – statistical generalization of the finite state machine. This enables us to take into account the correlation between semantic segments at different levels of abstraction (for hierarchical models) and the non-uniform distribution of segment duration. The resulting segmentation technique is considered as opposed to the conventional Viterbi algorithm.


AbstractSixteen darter species, including the federally endangered Boulder Darter Etheostoma wapiti, are known to occur in the Elk River, a large, flow-regulated tributary of the Tennessee River, Tennessee–Alabama. Since the construction of Tims Ford Dam (TFD) in 1970, habitat modification caused by cold, hypolimnetic water releases and peak-demand hydropower generation has contributed to population declines and range reductions for numerous aquatic species in the main-stem Elk River. We developed Bayesian hierarchical multispecies occupancy models to determine the influence of site- and species-level characteristics on darter occurrence by using presence–absence data for 15 species collected from 39 study sites. Modeling results indicated that large-river obligate species, such as the Boulder Darter, were 6.92 times more likely to occur for every 37-km increase in the distance downstream from TFD. In contrast, small-stream species were 2.35 times less likely and cosmopolitan species were 1.88 times less ...


Elkin and Warren (1947) have described traumatic arteriovenous fistulk in practically every named blood vessel of the body with the exception of the aorta. Congenital arteriovenous fistule are much less common. Thus Callander (1920) found only three congenital cases in a series of 447 arteriovenous fistulk. The usual location of congenital arteriovenous fistule in the systemic circulation is in the extremities, or head and neck. Pemberton and Saint (1928) believed that the trunk was rarely if ever affected. Adams (1951) described congenital arteriovenous fistulk of the pancreas, spleen, and kidney, but none in the thorax. Johnson (1954), and Periisalo and Kyllonen (1954), have described congenital arteriovenous fistulk of the subclavian vessels simulating patent ductus arteriosus. Maier and Stout (1950) report a case of congenital arteriovenous fistula of the internal mammary vessels with a hemangioma of the pectoralis major muscle. Other cases of hemangioma and arteriovenous fistula of the chest wall have been reported by Takaro and Claggett (1951).


Employee satisfaction with performance appraisal (PA) plays a large role in the perceived effectiveness of PA. We examined the joint effects of feedback sign (positive or negative) and three goal orientation dimensions (learning, performance-prove, performance-avoid) on PA satisfaction. Results revealed the negative relationship between negative feedback and PA satisfaction was stronger for those higher in performance-prove (PPGO), performance-avoid, and learning goal orientation. Additionally, the relationship between positive feedback and PA satisfaction was stronger for individuals low on PPGO and weaker for individuals high on PPGO. Implications for enhancing PA reactions are discussed.


Changes in economic markets have made it necessary to understand the psychology of individual investors. Conducting effective studies on the decision of investors to buy stock in the stock market can be useful. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the decision-making of investors to purchase shares of the stock exchange. The purpose of this study was to analyze causal relationships and to weight effective factors on individual investment to purchase shares of Tehran Stock Exchange.,The present study is applied research in the term of its purposes and a descriptive-survey one in the term of data gathering methods. The data required in this study was collected through library and field studies. The study population included 35 investment experts. In present study, multi-criteria decision-making techniques in type-2 fuzzy environments have been used to analyze the causal relationships and weighing the factors affecting individual investment in purchasing stock in the stock market.,In the study, 4 indicators and 20 sub-indicators influencing individual investors' decision to purchase shares of Tehran Stock Exchange were selected based on the literature review in the field of investment in the stock exchange, as well as interviews with experts. Analyzing the opinions of experts showed that they have much paid attention to financial index compare to the economic, political and psychological indicators of the market in determining the priority of indicators. In analyzing sub-indicators, it was identified that Iranian investors pay special attention to economic and political developments, political news and international economic developments.,The present study has been carried out in Iran, and therefore, is geographically limited to Iran. In thematic terms, it is limited to effective factors of individual investments in Tehran Stock Exchange. The statistical population of present study was limited to investing experts in Tehran Stock Exchange. The difference in financial, economic, social and political conditions of individuals was another limitation of present study. The main consequences of research were the explanation of causes of investors' higher attention to financial factors than economic, political and mental factors of market in buying stocks.,Given the uncertainty in the market status, using multi-criteria decision-making techniques in financial analysis can help decision-makers to make better decisions. In addition, it would be possible to take into account many variables that do not have a mathematical aspect but are important in decision-making and lead to increased decision-making satisfaction. The research initially analyzed causal relationships of determinants of individual investment on stock exchange for buying stocks through a type-2 fuzzy approach.

Migration of people from rural to urban areas has various socio-economic, political, demographic, ecological and environmental implications. Earlier development economists, such as, Lewis (1954) and Ranis & Fie (1961) regarded it an important factor in the economic development of developing countries. Rural-urban migration is considered as a balancing factor in the dualistic developing economy as it helps in transferring manpower from low income activities of rural sector to higher ones of urban sector and thus, narrows down the rural-urban gap. However, Lewis and Ranis & Fie development models have failed to explain the phenomenon of coexistence of surplus labour in urban sector with substantial and steady influx of rural population in the urban areas. The experiences of developing countries reveal that the modern sector, with emphasis on highly capital intensive techniques, is not capable enough to absorb the natural growth of urban workforce. Ruralurban migration in these countries neither results in rapid economic growth in urban areas nor brings about fundamental transformations in rural areas (Smit 1998). Therefore, rural-urban migration is now seen as major contributing factors to increase urban unemployment rate and affect the carrying capacity of


A commercial mammography image-enhancement system manufactured by Damon Corporation (Needham, MA) is evaluated. Using a dedicated computer, the system implements a real-time video local adaptire image processing algorithm based on the Wallis equation. Radiographs of a mammographic QA phantom (Nuclear Associates Model 76-001-4) containing tire groups of simulated breast microcalcifications ranging in diameter from 0.12 to 0.35 mm were viewed by four investigators under three viewing conditions: on a light box with the unaided eye, on the image enhancer in magnified "'bypass" (unenhanced) ruede, and on the enhancer using all feetures for optimum enhancement. A mammogram was then overlaid on the radiographs, and the composite images were viewed under the same three conditiene. Using the enhancer, es compared to using a light box alone, average increases of 1.4 and 1.1 microcalcifications per radiograph were observed for the phantom and phantom-with-mammogram radiographs, respectively. High-contrast resolution and spatiel distortion were also measured.


Prescription drug spending has been rising in recent years and is expected to continue to grow over the next decade. As such, concerns regarding patient affordability and access are areas of focus across the health care industry. In response to these concerns, AMCP held a multidisciplinary stakeholder forum March 12-13, 2020, in Alexandria, Virginia, to consider the implications and opportunities of various existing and potential drug-pricing reforms. Participants represented diverse sectors of the health care industry including health plans, patient advocacy organizations, employers, integrated delivery systems, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), specialty pharmacies, and biopharmaceutical companies. During the live forum, participants evaluated prescription affordability challenges and potential reforms, possible solutions to improve transparency and help patients understand and manage their drug costs, and the future of affordability in pharmacy. These proceedings summarize the key topics and discussion points from the forum. Ultimately, participants recognized that many current pharmaceutical affordability issues are related or are in response to other elements of the health care system. Overall, they called for (a) greater transparency and better alignment among all health care industry stakeholders to place patients in the center of decision making and (b) for any benefit changes or reforms to consider patient access, affordability, and adherence.


Aluminum metal matrix composites are attractive and effective materials because of their unique properties. These properties include high specific strength, light weight, high specific stiffness, excellent wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, and greater elastic modulus compared with the base alloy. They are used in aerospace, automotive, marine, mining, and mechanical structures. Fly ash, an inexpensive waste by-product obtained after the combustion of coal in thermal power plants, is considered as a reinforcement particle in the present study. The aim is to investigate the effect of fly ash in Al-10 weight percentage (wt%) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) metal matrix composites using statistical optimization techniques. One factor and Taguchi approaches are used in planning and designing the experiments. Al/10 wt% Al2O3 with 0, 5, 10, and 15 wt% fly ash composites are prepared with the powder metallurgy technique at 300, 400, and 500 MPa compaction pressure with 90, 120, and 150-μm fly ash particle sizes. The wt% of fly ash, compaction pressure, and particle size are the process parameters. Performance parameters such as ejection force and green density, hardness, and compressive strength are considered. The ejection force and green density decreased with the increase in the weight percent of fly ash. Hardness increased with the increase in fly ash content. Compressive strength increased with the increase in fly ash up to 5 wt% and subsequently decreased.

Globalisation has inspired a wide assortment of curricular initiatives within engineering education in the USA and Europe. This interest could be categorised in multiple directions – international exposure, service learning, or critical understanding and praxis. In Canada, however, there has been far less consideration for integrating globalisation within the engineering curriculum. The recent episode of reform initiated by the Canadian Board of Engineering Accreditation could usher in changes on this front. Situating the development of a course titled Development and Global Engineering within these broader conceptual and organisational impulses, this paper will illuminate a pathway towards understanding globalisation, especially within the Global South, through a comprehension of complexity and informality.

Introduction As of October 26, 2022, only 9% of children in the United States aged 6 months to 4 years have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine despite FDA approval since June 17, 2022. Rates are better yet still low for children aged 5 to 11 years as nearly 30% were fully vaccinated as of August 23, 2022. Vaccine hesitancy among adults is one of the major factors affecting low vaccine uptake rates in children against COVID-19, yet most studies examining vaccine hesitancy have targeted school-age and adolescent children. Methods With the aim of assessing the willingness to recommend the COVID-19 vaccination to children under 5 years compared to children 5 to 12 years of age, a county-wide survey was conducted between January 11 and March 7, 2022, among adults on the United States-Mexico border. Results Among the 765 responses, 72.5% were female and 42.3% were Latinx. The most significant factor associated with likelihood to recommend the COVID-19 vaccine to children less than 5 years and 5–12 years of age was adult vaccination status. Ordinal logistic regression also indicated that ethnicity, primary language, being a parent, previous COVID-19 infection, and concern about getting COVID-19 in the future were significantly associated with likelihood of COVID-19 vaccine recommendation to children < 5 years and 5–12 years old. Discussion This study found high consistency among respondents in their willingness to vaccinate children aged < 5 years compared with children aged 5–12 years. Our findings support public health strategies that target adult vaccinations as an avenue to improve childhood vaccinations for young children


The timing of the glacial advances and volcanic activities on Mt. Tateyama (3,015m) and Tateyama Volcano in the Hida Range in central Japan during the late stade of the last glacial period were clarified based on three moraines and their stratigraphic relationships with volcanic ejecta. The late stade was subdivided into Tateyama Stades I (just before 29cal ka), II (18-20 10Be ka) and III (10-11 10Be ka). The glaciers during the late stade attained their maximum advances in Tateyama Stade I and retreated with time. The maximum glacial advances during the late stade were caused just before 29cal ka in MIS 3 on the high mountains in the Hida Range simultaneously. Between Tateyama Stades I and II, the Tateyama Volcano gave rise to phreatic explosions that fragmented a lava layer overlying explosion crater. The fall of the lava fragments, however, did not trigger off the start of the glacial retreat and advance on Mt. Tateyama.


Coal gasification will enter the commercial promised land in the 1990s and the early part of the next century, with 80,000 megawatts and more than $100 billion in investment expected in the coming decade. Driven largely by environmental concerns, gasification should come to rival pulverized coal systems, which are far less efficient and can only use a narrower class of coal than gasification systems. While only a handful of gasification systems exist today - and most of those are for chemical production - there already are 55 projects in the planning and construction stage worldwide for electricity production. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions are considerably lower for a gasification system than a pulverized one, even when burning lower quality coals. A gasification system's water use and water output are half that of a pulverized unit, and the waste is not hazardous like that from a pulverized system. Also, thermal efficients are about one-third higher in a gasification system.


The degradation of dicumyl peroxide-cured natural rubber was studied by the stress relaxation method. Experiments were carried out in air, in nitrogen, and by irradiation of UV light in the temperature range of 30–200°C. We attempted to divide factors of the degradation into two parts: that caused by heat and that by light, and to study the respective degradation quantitatively. The degradation caused by UV light in nitrogen was almost independent of temperature. However, the degradation caused by UV light in air increased with temperature and the rate of degradation caused by the interaction between light and oxygen was greater at high temperature than at low temperature. It was found that scission along main chains occurs for dicumyl peroxide-cured natural rubber by photo-oxidation as well as thermal oxidation.


Base Station location anonymity is a critical aspect while securing a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) against local adversarial attacks. WSNs have a wide range of applications where security is a primary concern. Among different security issues, the area of base station (BS) location privacy has been relatively less explored. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to protect the location privacy of the BS against external packet tracer attacks by employing asymmetric power control for the transmissions along the multi hop path between the source and the sink. The transmission range at each sensor node is varied with the objective of minimizing the amount of distance the packet tracer can travel towards the sink, thereby preventing the attacker from tracing packets directly to the BS. We formulate this as an optimization problem and derive the optimal transmission levels for the routing paths to the BS based on our utility that minimizes the mobility of the local adversary. We evaluate the level of security provided by our scheme and measure the overhead involved in terms of additional energy consumed in the network.


Abstract This paper discusses two broadly logical issues related to Protagoras' measure doctrine (M) and the self-refutation argument (SRA). First, I argue that the relevant interpretation of (M) has it that every individual human being determines all her own truths, including the truth of (M) itself. I then turn to what I take to be the most important move in the SRA: that Protagoras recognises not only that his opponents disagree with him about the truth of (M), but also that they hold that (M) is false simpliciter. By recognising that his opponents do not make the relativising concession he makes for them, he is forced to accept that (M) is false. I go on to argue that several other defenders of the SRA end up with a regress which is difficult to end and might not favour anti-Protagoreans. On my reading, by recognising what his opponents believe, Protagoras is barred from adding qualifiers, and the possible regress doesn't get off the ground. I conclude with brief discussions of how Protagoras might try to avoid the result of the SRA and the argument's role in this part of the Theaetetus.

In this article, we present a composite scheme to solve the scalar transport equation in a two-dimensional space. The aim of this study is to accurately resolve sharp profiles in the flow. The theory of the M-matrix serves as the theoretical foundation for achieving this goal. Attempts to extend the approach to resolve discontinuities in all cases motivate the development of the composite scheme. For this study, a conditionally monotonic Legendre polynomial finite element model is used together with an unconditionally monotonic scheme. Computational evidence reveals that the composite model improves stability while it maintains accuracy. The application scope is thus greatly extended.

In order to optimize the application of biodiesel for diesel engines, the low-temperature fluidity, pulverization and evaporation, erosion capability and invariability of diesel and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) were compared and analyzed. The cold filter plugging point, solidifying point, distillation temperature, flash point, kinematic viscosity, specific gravity, gelatin content, carbon residue, sculpture content, acidity, copper corrosion and ash tests were investigated according to the specifications given in the standards of China on certified machines. Introduction Diesel engines are efficient power machinery for automotive applications due to their better fuel economy compared to gasoline engines. However, stringent emission regulations and future depletion of petroleum reserves force us to explore new technologies to develop alternative fuel as well as reduce pollutant emissions [1]. Alternative fuels such as biodiesel and ethanol can satisfy the demand for renewable energy sources with low environmental impacts. While ethanol has been used as a total or partial substitute fuel for gasoline in countries like Brazil and USA, vegetable oil or animal fat derived biodiesel has largely grown as a substitute for diesel oil. Biodiesel has progressively been used to reduce diesel sulfur content [2]. Biodiesel is produced by transesterification of oil, where one mole of oil is chemically reacted with three moles of an alcohol in presence of a catalyst. In this reversible reaction, the glycerol moiety of the triglyceride molecule is replaced with an alkali radical of the alcohol used, giving alkyl based monoesters [3]. Biodiesel is now mainly being produced from soybean and rapeseed oils. Soybean oil is of primary interest as biodiesel source in the United States, while many European countries are concerned with rapeseed oil, and countries with tropical climate prefer to utilize coconut oil or palm oil. However, any vegetable oil-corn, cottonseed, peanut, sunflower, safflower, coconut or palm-could be used to produce biodiesel [4]. Furthermore, other sources of biodiesel studied include animal fats and used or waste cooking oils. Researchers are also developing algae that produce oils, which can be converted to biodiesel. Although biodiesel has many advantages when it comes to fuel properties, it still has several properties that need to be improved, such as its lower calorific value, lower horsepower output, and its comparatively higher emission of nitrogen oxides [5]. Fuel characterization data show some similarities and differences between biodiesel and petro diesel fuels. Sulfur content of petro diesel is 20-50 times those of biodiesels [4]. Several municipalities are considering mandating the use of low levels of biodiesel in diesel fuel on the basis of several studies which have found HC and particulate matter (PM) benefits from the use of biodiesel [6]. Ayman [4] investigated the higher heating values of biodiesel from soybean and rapeseed and palm oil. The higher heating values (HHVs) of biodiesels were relatively high. The HHVs of biodiesels (39-41 MJ/kg) were slightly lower than that of gasoline (46 MJ/kg), petro diesel (43 MJ/kg) or petroleum (42 MJ/kg), but higher than coal (32-37 MJ/kg). International Conference on Materials, Environmental and Biological Engineering (MEBE 2015) © 2015. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 525 In order to compare and analyses the low-temperature fluidity, pulverization and evaporation, erosion capability and invariability of diesel and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). The cold filter plugging point, solidifying point, distillation temperature, flash point, kinematic viscosity, specific gravity, gelatin content, carbon residue, sculpture content, acidity, copper corrosion and ash tests were investigated according to the specifications given in the standards of China on certified machines in this paper. Test procedure In order to compare and analyses the low-temperature fluidity, according to the standard SH/T 0248 and GB/T 510 of China, the cold filter plugging point and solidifying point of diesel and FAME were tested. In order to compare and analyses the pulverization and evaporation, according to the standard GB/T 6536, GB/T 261 and GB/T 265, the distillation temperature at 50%, 90% and 95%, flash point, kinematic viscosity at 20°C and 40°C of diesel and FAME were tested. In order to compare and analyses the erosion capability, according to the standard GB/T 380 and GB/T 258, the sculpture content and acidity of diesel and FAME were tested. In order to compare and analyses the invariability, according to the standard SH/T 0175 and GB/T 268, the gelatin content and carbon residue of diesel and FAME were tested. Results and discussion Low-temperature fluidity. The variation in cold filter plugging point and solidifying point between diesel and FAME is presented in Fig.1. Cold filter plugging point (CFPP) is the lowest temperature, at which a given volume of diesel type of fuel still passes through a standardized filtration device in a specified time when cooled under certain conditions. This is important as in cold temperate countries and a high cold filter plugging point will clog up vehicle engines more easily. Compare with diesel, the cold filter plugging point of FAME decreases while the solidifying point increases.


Recently, Abbott Diagnostics has restandardized the Architect 25(OH)D assay against the NIST SRM 2972. We have evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of the restandardized Architect 25(OH)D assay and compared its performance with a NIST‐traceable liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) method and the Roche total 25(OH)D assay in vitamin D‐insufficient individuals before and after vitamin D3 supplementation.

OBJECTIVEThe application of a laser scanning technique to measure regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) and tissue hemoglobin oxygenation (HbO2) using the rat closed cranial window preparation is described. METHODSTwenty-nine male Wistar rats were used to consecutively measure local CBF by laser Doppler flowmetry and tissue HbO2 by a microspectrophotometric method at multiple corresponding cortical locations. The scanning technique used a computer-controlled micromanipulator. Data from three experimental models are presented: the whisker stimulation model, the ischemia-reperfusion model, and the sinus-vein thrombosis model. Sequential changes in local CBF and HbO2 data before, during, and after stimulation, ischemia, and sinus thrombosis were examined. Data from predefined locations within the same region were correlated with the topographical location and then arranged in a three-dimensional image. RESULTSIn the whisker stimulation model, we found a disproportionate increase in CBF (32 ± 12%) as compared with that of HbO2 (9 ± 4%) during stimulation. In the ischemia-reperfusion model, the three-dimensional image showed heterogeneous low CBF (depending on the area) and homogeneous HbO2 at a reduced level during ischemia and postischemic hyperperfusion. However, the range of oxygenation was normal after reperfusion. In the sinus-vein thrombosis model, drainage of the unsaturated blood via the collateral pathways was noted. CONCLUSIONThe laser scanning technique is useful for visualizing sequential changes in hemodynamic-metabolic interactions of cortical brain tissue. This technique can reveal phenomena not detected by traditional monitoring procedures.


Previous research has shown that Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation mediate the relationship between need for closure (NFC) and conservative beliefs and racism. These results did not apply to the NFC facet scale Decisiveness. However, the Decisiveness scale has been reported to have a questionable validity, and the recent development of a new scale inspired a reassessment of these previous studies. The present results obtained in two Flemish undergraduate samples (N = 164 and 162) show that both the new Decisiveness scale and the other NFC facet scales correlate with conservatism and racism, and that both these relationships are mediated by social attitudes (i.e., RWA and SDO). In the discussion it is argued that not only permanence needs, but also the urgency need reflected in Decisiveness, are important in order to understand right-wing ideology.

We propose and study a "classification" of Borel ideals based on a natural infinite game involving a pair of ideals. The game induces a pre-order $\sqsubseteq$ and the corresponding equivalence relation. The pre-order is well founded and "almost linear". We concentrate on $F_{\sigma}$ and $F_{\sigma\delta}$ ideals. In particular, we show that all $F_{\sigma}$-ideals are $\sqsubseteq$-equivalent and form the least equivalence class. There is also a least class of non-$F_{\sigma}$ Borel ideals, and there are at least two distinct classes of $F_{\sigma\delta}$ non-$F_{\sigma}$ ideals.


1. The memetic World View. The conquest of culture is a long-standing ambition of some biologists, who regard claims for its uniqueness as a kind of Creationism. Sociobiologists (e.g. Alexander 1979) have asserted that kin selection and reciprocal altruism give us the key to understanding culture, but other biologists have been more sceptical. So Dawkins says of socio-biology: 'These ideas [kin selection and reciprocal altruism]...do not begin to square up to the formidable challenge of explaining culture, cultural evolution, and the immense differences between human cultures around the world...' (Dawkins 1978:205) He is one of a number to propose that the gene itself is just one example of the more general category of a replicator, a unit of information or instruction that can make copies of itself and which can be passed on in some way, and that another example of a replicator is the meme. This is anything in human culture that can be imitated – an idea, a tune, a dress fashion, and so on – and like the gene has the sole 'purpose' of replication, of making copies of itself:

Background: The analysis of similarities among fingerprints of Chinese herbal medicines is an important quality control tool to determine the authenticity of the herbal medicines. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to develop a novel mathematical model to analyze the similarity of the chromatographic fingerprints of Houttuynia cordata (HC). Materials and Methods: Total quantum statistical moment similarity (TQSMS) expressions were deduced to evaluate the similarities between two chromatographic fingerprints. The volatile oil samples of HC were analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the fingerprints were constructed by the area under the peak of the chromatograms. Results: There were nine peaks in common, and a total of 733 chemical constituents observed among 15 batches of samples. The number of peaks in the chromatographic fingerprints of the 15 batches of HC was 49–137, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 30.13%. The sum of area under the peak was 1.159 × 107–3.437 × 108 μv × s, with an RSD 174.56%; MCRTT was 9.410–18.602 min, with an RSD of 20.79%; and VCRTT was 37.549–81.504, with an RSD of 23.27%. The volatile oil composition and content of HC showed strong fluctuation. Therefore, its quality control from the variety and content of the components is impractical. Since TQSMS method can characterize the sample similarity, we can quantitate the correct probability of positive and negative conclusions regardless of the population origin of the samples. Conclusion: Our results show that TQSMS can be an additional method that can be used to assess the similarity of two chromatographic fingerprints.

Already-operational systems of hot water supply must always be taken into account when treating questions of the development of systems of centralized heat supply of towns. Of the three main links in the chain of heat supply of towns, the heat source, the heating network, the consumer, the least reliable (from the standpoint of uninterrupted heat supply) is the middle link - the underground pipeline. Its required degree of reliability can only be ensured by the provision of back-up networks. The provision of back-up facilities in extended networks is most economically and conveniently achieved with the aid of control-distribution substations with a thermal load of 30 to 50 Gcal/h, the presence of which ensures the possibility of reliable control of the network's operating conditions in both normal and emergency modes.

More and more evidences have shown that classical mechanical ischemic post-conditioning has definit and similar protective effect for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury comparing with ischemic pre-conditioning.It′s well known that sevourane post-conditioning can reduce reperfusion myocardial infarct size and mitochondrial damage,improve hemodynamics of reperfusive heart and so on in animal models,so it has a certain applicative prospect as a new treatment for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.Its role in myocardial protection involves complex mechanisms,such as blocking mitochondrial permeability transition pore,activating phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase,extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2,activating mitochondrial KATP-Channels,and so on..


Printed electronics has manufacturing advantages such as low environmental load and low cost in addition to the characteristics of the device itself such as flexibility and transparency, which cannot be achieved in conventional semiconductor devices. As research and development on printed electronics increases, there are high expectations for Roll-to-Roll (R2R) production in which devices are made on a film using coating and printing technology. In order to continuously produce devices on the film which is being rolled up in R2R production, non-contact, high-speed sensing equipment is required. Through collaborative research with Yamagata University, we found that the crystallinity of the organic semiconductor layer is crucial for securing device quality, and we developed polarization in-line sensing technology that can visualize the crystallinity of the organic semiconductor layer in-line for achieving R2R production.


Objective To explore the relationship between pathologic classification and the results of laparoscopic management for children with renal duplication. Methods Thirty-eight children with renal duplication were hospitalized in our institute during last 5 years. The renal duplication could be classified into 5 types based on the characteristics of ureteral duplication in shape, mocation, size, and distension, and the boundary between the upper and lower kidney. The details of laparoscopic procedure and its complications were summarized. Results Out of 38 cases with renal duplication, 35 cases underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic upper pole nephrectomy, and 33 cases ( 94.3%) were successfully managed. The mean time of laparoscopic procedure was 1 hour, the volume of bleeding was 5 to 10 ml, and the mean duration of hospitalization was 4 days. No abnormal findings could be noted on the lower kidney during follow-up term of 3 months to 5 years. The other 3 cases were successfully treated by ureteral reimplantation. Conclusions Pathologic classification is helpful for treatment of renal duplication in children.


Purpose
This paper aims to demonstrate how illicit funds are being laundered through underground currency exchange networks.

Design/methodology/approach
Sixty interviews with money launderers and compliance officers were conducted to identify methods relevant to current money laundering issues. Further, a quantitative survey of 200 compliance officers was administered.

Findings
The currency exchange method is highly suitable for money launderers with access to a criminal network. It may be used for placement or pre-placement. Evidently, the vast majority of compliance officers fail to recognize the utilization of this method in their daily business.

Research limitations/implications
Implications are based on the statements of 60 interviewees, comprising both alleged money launderers and compliance officers.

Practical implications
The study identified gaps in anti-money laundering mechanisms. The documentation of said inconsistencies aims to provide compliance officers, law enforcement agencies and legislators with useful insights into the minds of money launderers.

Originality/value
Whereas most prior literature focuses on money laundering prevention methods, how money launderers operate is not illustrated. This study comprehensively overviews the issue by interviewing not only compliance officers but also money launderers. Understanding how money launderers operate is essential to effectively prevent money laundering. In particular, compliance officers must be able to view money laundering from the criminal's perspective to sufficiently combat the issue.


This study attempted to determine the amount of time spent on nonpaid daily activities by retired people and to identify management problems encountered while performing daily activities. Time use data were collected by daily records completed by the subjects. Variables examined were age, sex, health, education, level of income, and living arrangements. Age and sex were related to total time spent on household activities and family care. Those in the oldest age group spent the least amount of time on household activities and family care and men spent less time than women on these activities. Health, living arrangements, income, and transportation were identified as management problems. These problems were not incapacitating and most elderly were able to live independently at home.


Disfavored 5-endo-trig cyclizations were achieved in 1-trifluoromethylvinyl compounds with a sulfonamido group via (i) intramolecular SN2' reaction with loss of a fluoride ion or (ii) intramolecular addition to the vinylic group. These reactions provided indoline and pyrrolidine derivatives bearing fluorinated one-carbon units such as difluoromethylene and trifluoromethyl groups.

Objective: Sepsis in newborns with RDS is essential for life-threatening condition and still represents an important cause of mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive values of procalcitonin (PCT) as an early diagnostic and prognostic biochemical marker for sepsis in newborns with RDS.
Methods: The study were included 85 newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and proven sepsis and admitted in the Intensive Care Unit at the University Children Hospital-Skopje in period of December 2018 till May 2020 y. Procalcitonin levels were measured by using a immunoassay system Vidas based on the ELFA principles.
Results: The newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and proven sepsis admitted in the Intensive Care Unit at the University Children Hospital-Skopje have been divided into two groups. The first group included 32 preterm newborns with RDS and proven sepsis and the second group included 43 term newborns with RDS and proven sepsis. The average gestational age of the preterm newborns with RDS and proven sepsis was 36.04 ± 3.2 weeks and the term newborn with RDS and proven sepsis was 36.23 ± 3.5 weeks. The average birth weight of the preterm newborns with RDS and proven sepsis was 2290.5 ± 731.2 grams, and the term newborn with RDS and proven sepsis was 2785.2 ± 588. 1 grams. There is statistically significant difference in average PCT between the two groups overtime (p<0.05). There is statistically significant difference in average PCT between the two groups overtime procedure (MV, BCPAP) (p<0.05).
Conclusions: PCT is promising sepsis markers in preterm newborns with RDS, capable of complementing clinical signs and routine laboratory parameters suggestive of severe infection at the time of ICU admission.


Attention is given to recent data pertaining to flow cell storage system-related features as well as the state of Redox membrane technology. In addition, the state of the technology as it relates to the two application areas of storage for photovoltaic/wind and distributed energy storage for electrical utility applications is addressed. Also covered are the cost and life advantages of Redox systems as well as a discussion of such cells as the open circuit voltage cell, the rebalance cell, and the trim cell. Finally, it is concluded that the main thrust of membrane development will be to reduce the interaction between the chloro complex of iron in the ferric state since this is the major factor in membrane area resistivity.


A curriculum model is proposed for planning and evaluation of hospitality management programs. The model distinguishes four phases of an educational program: (1) mission of the program, (2) program goals, (3) competency-based objectives, and (4) learning activities. The fourphases of the model are then divided according to what was intended (planning) or what was assessed from observation (evaluation). The model provides a framework for the planners and evaluators to investigate the success or failure of an individual program in terms of logical contingency and congruency. Contingency in the planning stage refers to the theory that if the mission, goals, competencies and learning activities were planned through a deductive and sequential process, then logical contingency follows. Congruency in the evaluation stage refers to symmetry between what is intended (planning) and what is observed (evaluation). A well planned quality program meets both the contingency and congruency requirements of the curriculum matrix.


ABSTRACT: This paper summarizes the results of a Focus Group Discussion held in September 2021 to celebrate the inauguration of the international journal INContext: Studies in Translation and Interculturalism. Organized under the title "Changes in Korea's Outbound Literary Translation: Who, How, and Why?", the event was a response to the growing significance of and interest in Korea's literary works worldwide, and marks the first time to employ the format of a focus group discussion in Translation Studies (TS) research in Korea. In a single-moderator event, seven discussants participated as representatives of stakeholders of translation: translator, journal editor, literary grantor institution, and literary agent. Following three brief presentations, the participants shared their expertise and experiences as prompted by the moderator on nine specific issues.
Section 2 outlines historical developments in Korea's outbound literary translation practices, and the structure of the Focus Group Discussion. Section 3 discusses the theoretical background of the organization of the event and proposes a revised sociological model of translation adapted from Bourdieu's field theory of cultural production. A summary of the three brief presentations and the subsequent discussion of the nine issues ensues in Section 4, and the conclusion in Section 5 includes suggestions for future research directions.
Significant findings include: (1) Although distinctively visible shifts are under way from the traditional, grant-centric system to a more market-driven one, the continued preference for keeping grant-funded translation projects in place reflects the still peripheral position and lack of economic 'capital' of translated literature in the literary system of Korea. (2) In the initial dissemination of Korean literature overseas, the use of the umbrella term 'K-LITERATURE' can be deemed useful, but authors need to compete individually based on their respective uniqueness and strengths while showing thematic universality. (3) Being a native speaker of the target language (TL), an alleged requirement of a competent translator much-touted in TS in Korea, did not draw the consensus of all participants. Several participants were of the opinion that a translator's passion for literary works and the author under translation was a more critical factor in motivating her to complete literary translations.
논문초록: 본 연구는 국제 저널  창간 기념으로 2021년 9월 개최된 포커스 그룹 대토론회 결과 보고서이다. '한국문학 아웃바운드 번역의 변화: 누가·어떻게·왜?'라는 제목으로 개최된 이 토론회는 한국문학에 대한 세계적 중요성과 관심이 확대되는 상황에서 준비된 행사로, 국내 번역학계 최초로 포커스 그룹 토론회 형식을 도입했다. 단일좌장 형태로 진행된 이 토론회에는 번역사, 저널 편집자, 지원기관, 문학 에이전트를 각각 대표하는 토론자 7인이 참여했다. 3인의 짧은 발표 후, 참여자들은 좌장의 진행에 따라 9가지 세부 주제에 대한 전문지식과 경험을 공유했다.

본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 전통적인 그랜트 중심에서 시장 중심 시스템으로의 가시적 변화가 확인되었으나, 참여자들이 여전히 그랜트 기반 번역 프로그램 존치를 선호한다는 사실은 한국 문학시스템 내에서 번역문학이 여전히 주변적 지위를 차지하며 '경제자본' 부족을 겪고 있음을 보여준다. (2) 한국문학의 세계적 전파 과정에서 'K-문학(K-LITERATURE)'이라는 집단적 브랜딩의 사용이 유용할 수 있으나, 궁극적으로는 개별작가가 저마다의 개성과 강점을 무기로 경쟁하면서 주제의 보편성을 입증할 필요가 있다. (3) 번역사의 도착어 원어민 여부를 아웃바운드 번역능력의 필수 요건으로 논의해온 한국 번역학계의 기존 시각과 달리, 참여자들의 의견은 엇갈렸다. 이들은 번역대상 작품 및 작가에 대한 번역사의 열정이 보다 근본적인 문학번역의 동기라고 지적하기도 했다.

The euphoria over the worldwide "third wave" of democratization that crested in the late 1980s has gradually given way to concern over the prospects for fragile new political systems to consolidate democratic rule.l Compared to the troubling situations in many new democracies in Latin America and elsewhere, Taiwan seems a reassuring case. In just over a decade, and with a minimum of violence or social disruption, Taiwan has moved from hard authoritarianism to full, free and largely fair elections. The mass media enthusiastically report a wide range of political and social opinions; civic groups have sprouted like mushrooms after a spring rain; and independent trade union movements noisily represent their members. Public institutions such as schools and the military have become increasingly open, pluralistic and politically neutral. Decades after withering attacks on modernization theory, Taiwan seems a model case for its proposition that economic growth and structural transformation, urbanization and increasing levels of education can create a more pluralistic and demanding society, eventually rendering


ing motivation (22; 24; 25; 44; 47). In special education many of these at-risk FL learners are identified as having language learning disabilities (LLD), and this identification sometimes occurs only after a student has experienced repeated failures in FL courses in college (20; 35; 48). A number of explanations have been offered to account for why students have difficulties with FL as it is typically taught in school settings. Intelligence, for the most part, has been ruled out as having much significance in the determination of FL learning potential (4; 26;


We investigate structural properties of epitaxial films close to Ge 2Sb2Te5 composition on GaSb(001) related to the optical switching process. While the amorphization process takes place in a single or in multiple step s, the recrystallization process (RCP) always takes place in multiple steps. Intermediate stages of the RCP are characterized by small crystalline islands within the amorphous area . The structural properties are investigated by opt ical microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The an alysis of the EBSD pattern demonstrates that the cr ystalline islands at intermediate stages of the RCP exhibit d fferent orientations. We conclude that the RCP is driven by nucleation without any orientation information from the substrate.


The fault diagnosis methods based on artificial intelligence in sole application is difficult to determination of the aircraft system faults,because of the limitation of single method and the complication of aircraft system.The faults of aircraft system could be accurate determinated in time through the multi-method and fusion technology from research on some artificial intelligence methods,and completed the fault diagnosis for complex aircraft system.


BACKGROUND
The postpartum period is a critical transition period when exposures to protective factors such as breastfeeding can have long-lasting health impact. Studies have suggested downregulating effects of breastfeeding on stress biomarkers such as cortisol but have not explored the way breastfeeding interacts with allostatic load, a multisystem indicator of chronic stress.

OBJECTIVE
We aimed to examine the association between breastfeeding and maternal allostatic load among women within 2 y postpartum using nationally representative data.

METHODS
A cross-sectional analysis of 10 waves of data from the NHANES (1999-2018) was conducted in a sample of 1302 women aged ≥18 y who provided information on breastfeeding through the reproductive health questionnaire. Clinical and empirical allostatic load scores (range: 0-10; higher numbers associated with increased risk) were derived for each participant based on 10 biomarkers reflecting metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune health. Multiple linear regression tested associations between breastfeeding and allostatic load, adjusting for maternal age, race and ethnicity, education, poverty level, and survey wave.

RESULTS
Breastfeeding had a significant inverse association with allostatic load in unadjusted and adjusted models. Controlling for age, race and ethnicity, education, poverty level, and survey wave, breastfeeding women had a 0.36-point lower clinical allostatic load score than nonbreastfeeding women (β = -0.36, SE = 0.11; 95% CI: -0.59, -0.14; P = 0.002) and a 0.44-point lower empirical allostatic load score (β = -0.44, SE = 0.15; 95% CI: -0.74, -0.14; P = 0.005).

CONCLUSIONS
Our study suggests that breastfeeding is protective of maternal stress and provides a more comprehensive picture of breastfeeding's influence on multiple body systems, exemplifying physiological benefits beyond effects on single biomarkers. However, limitations of cross-sectional data and non-classification of breastfeeding duration, mode, and intensity should be considered when interpreting these findings, and further research to address the role of breastfeeding and allostatic load is needed.


We introduce a new method for "twisting" relative equivalences of derived categories of sheaves on two spaces over the same base. The first aspect of this is that the derived categories of sheaves on the spaces are twisted. They become derived categories of sheaves on gerbes living over spaces that are locally (on the base) isomorphic to the original spaces. Secondly, this is done in a compatible way so that the equivalence is maintained. We apply this method by proving the conjectures of Donagi and Pantev on dualities between gerbes on genus-one fibrations and comment on other applications to families of higher genus curves. We also include a related conjecture in Mirror Symmetry. This represents a modified version of my May 2006 thesis for the University of Pennsylvania. The only addition is the subsection titled 'Alternative Method'.

The trend of consumption of hydrocarbon fuels in Indonesia, which is increasing every year, is not accompanied by the amount of production, which is decreasing. Alternative fuels to reduce dependence on hydrocarbon fuels. One form of alternative fuel is biodiesel, which is made from corn (maize) oil. Corn oil itself, if processed, can be an option for clean and environmentally friendly energy option and that is the main objective of this research is to determine the performance of biodiesel corn oil on diesel engines. The method used in this study is an experimental method where corn oil biodiesel is tested directly on a testing machine. The data from the test results will be used to find the torque and thermal efficiency values so that the engine performance values for each fuel variation can be identified. The results of the study obtained the engine performance value, namely the highest torque was on diesel oil fuel 4.57 N.m. The highest thermal efficiency value achieved at the B30 fuel sample at a temperature of 60 °C with the thermal efficiency of 17.4 percent. With these results, it can be concluded that engine performance with corn oil fuel can be used as an alternative fuel to replace hydrocarbon fuel.


Our planet Earth is suffering devastating effects mostly caused by human footprint. Development of sustainable technologies comes to be, then, vital and could have a positive impact on the environment if green technologies are accessible to everyone in the world. Lessons learned from the past point out that the development in energy and technology has to consider aspects such as environmental protection, economic development, and equity [1]. Furthermore, the transition to green technologies needs immediate action due to the current urgency. This transition has to be equitable enough to diminish disproportionate negative effects on vulnerable communities. Following the same logic, free access to scientific publications allows the poorest nations to know and apply green technologies; therefore, the possibilities to efficiently improving the environment on Earth increase.


In recent years metal matrix composite (MMC) has been recognised to pocess a great potential for significant improvement in performance over conventional alloys. The tension and compression creep strength of four groups of aluminium metal matrix composites were measured at 300° C, 350 °C and 400 °C. These groups are Aluminium alloy 6061 with 0,10,15 and 20 vol.% Al 2 O 3 . The effect of the reinforcement material (Al 2 O 3 ) on the tension and compression creep behaviour of MMC material was investigated. The values of the activation energy and stress exponents in both tension and compression creep were compared. The applied stress was chosen to have a fracture life in tension or the time to the loss of stability in compression ranging from 0.1 to 300 hours. The specimens were taken from hot extruded cylindrical rods. Creep properties were characterised in terms of the stress and temperature dependence of the minimum creep strain rate, rupture life or loss of stability, ductility and activation energy.


Government funding for the enhancement of entrepreneurship and enterprise activity has been given a priority for a number of years. The higher education sectors have responded by increasing the amount of education given to students to prepare them for an entrepreneurial
future. However, many students do not turn out to be an entrepreneur after their graduation.Students' behavior and decision to involve in entrepreneurship can be explained by their intention. Therefore, this paper aimed at (i) exploring the level of entrepreneurial intention among Thai students who are currently studying at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), and (ii)examining the entrepreneurial intention among these students according to the internal factors(personal attribute of students) and external factors (environment) and the potential connection or
relationship between them. A structured questionnaire was used and it was personally distributed to 150 respondents. The finding of the study shows that the Thai students show a high level of internal factors (i.e., need for achievement, locus of control, risk taking, and self-confidence).The finding also reveals that there is a significant relationship between the external factors (i.e.,
market, financing, society, and university) and entrepreneurial intention among Thai students.


We tested the influence of two N-sources, NO 3 - and NH 4 + , on root growth and respiration of Quercus suber L. Seedlings were grown on hydroponics with 0.5 mM N as NO 3 - or NH 4 + in a growth chamber. Root relative growth rate (RGR) of NO 3 - -fed seedlings ranged from 9 to 34 mg g -1 day -1 . These values are lower than those described for slow-growing herbaceous and for most woody species. Root respiration and the activity and capacity of the alternative pathway (AP) showed no differences between the two N-sources. Both activity and capacity of the AP were very low and the cytochrome pathway was fully engaged. Specific respiratory costs were calculated for maintenance, 6.3 nmol O 2 g -1 s -1 , for nitrate uptake, 0.99 mol O 2 mol N -1 , and for growth 5.4 mmol O 2 g -1 . These values are similar to those found for slow-growing herbaceous species. The major part of total root respiration, over 64%, was used for maintenance processes, and a much smaller fraction for growth and nitrate uptake.


Periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) remains a significant cause of long-term morbidity among premature infants1. Clinical trials2-4 have shown that prophylactic indomethacin is associated with a decreased incidence of IVH, including the severe form. In this issue of Pediatrics, Ment et al5 report on the long-term outcome of children who received indomethacin prophylaxis for IVH. Incidence of cerebral palsy (8%) was similar between the indomethacin-and placebo-treated groups; mean IQ scores determined from the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Form L-M, 1972) did not differ. IQ scores were significantly related to IVH, birth weight, and maternal education; ie, lower IQ scores with IVH and higher scores with higher birth weight and years of education.


A PHEV demonstration project gave 80 consumers within the Northern California counties of Sacramento, Yolo and San Joaquin the opportunity to drive a PHEV-conversion for at least one month each in lieu of one of their existing vehicles. Households decided for themselves when, where, and how much to charge the PHEV, if at all. Out of the 80 households, 25 were characterized as plausible future PHEV owners who also commuted to a workplace. Each of the PHEV-conversions was equipped with loggers which recorded all travel and charging data. To estimate the potential implications of added workplace charging infrastructure across a group of commuting households, each household's vehicle usage is simulated with six hypothetical PHEVs, the design characteristics of which are outlined in Table 2 of this paper. Combining each household's usage data with the hypothetical designs allows their PHEV-conversion experience to be generalized beyond the specific PHEV-conversion to plausible future PHEV designs. Since most households did not have access to charging infrastructure at work, charging events are simulated for each household every time they arrive at their workplace. Comparison between the recorded behavior and the simulated workplace charging case allows for an exploration of the potential impacts of workplace charging on the individual and fleet utility factor, workplace charging infrastructure requirements, and grid load. Workplace charging increases the total fleet average utility factor, however, the benefit varies considerably by household and vehicle charge depleting range. Based on simulation results, up to 75% of commuters would be able to use 1.44 kW charging without experiencing a decrease in electric miles driven, and workplace charging creates a new peak vehicle charging load on the grid in the morning, in the range of 0.8 to 1.4 kW per PHEV.


Just like in other fields, the possibilities of tourism entertainment and education are shaped by the progress in information and communication technology (ICT) and ICT is, at the same time, becoming an essential component of both industries. The purpose of this paper is to influence proper child development even when they are on vacation. The paper focuses on strategic usage of ICT. The goal is to introduce an application for the wearable devices for children that would motivate them to be more physically active. As contradictory as it may seem, ICT might be in function of increasing physical activity. The paper offers a close view of the proposal of the application called 'Sunny, Happy Growing'. The application's objective is to encourage physical activity of children through games and information and communication technology applied to entertainment programs of hotels during vacations.


The symmetry in the elastic scattering of polarized protons from helium has been measured at beam momenta of 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 GeV/c and in the interval of three‐momentum transfer, q, region between 0.3 and 5.5 fm−1 (step size ∠0.1 fm−1). The beam polarization was approximately 70% and the beam intensity varied between 0.4–1.5 ×109 particles/burst. The polarization is found to depend sensitively on the beam momentum near q=2.2 fm−1, which is the region where single and double scattering display interference effects in elastic scattering. In the q region where triple scattering begins to be predominant, the polarization displays a change in slope.


The 3D electro-Fenton technique is, due to its high efficiency, one of the technologies suggested to eliminate organic pollutants in wastewater. The type of particle electrode used in the 3D electro-Fenton process is one of the most crucial variables because of its effect on the formation of reactive species and the source of iron ions. The electrolytic cell in the current study consisted of graphite as an anode, carbon fiber (CF) modified with graphene as a cathode, and iron foam particles as a third electrode. A response surface methodology (RSM) approach was used to optimize the 3D electro-Fenton process. The RSM results revealed that the quadratic model has a high R2 of 99.05 %. At 4 g L-1 iron foam particles, time of 5 h, and 1 g of graphene, the maximum efficiency of phenol removal of 92.58 % and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 89.33 % were achieved with 32.976 kWh kg-1 phenol of consumed power. Based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) results, the time has the highest impact on phenol removal efficiency, followed by iron foam and graphene dosage. In the present study, the 3D electro-Fenton technique with iron foam partials and carbon fiber modified with graphene was detected as a great choice for removing phenol from aqueous solutions due to its high efficiency, formation of highly reactive species, with excellent iron ions source electrode.


In this paper, a parameter extraction method for GaN HEMTs is developed. The main advantage of this approach is its accuracy, reliability and dependence on only pinch-off Sparameter measurements to extract the parasitic elements of the device. The extraction results are compared with other extraction results based on pinch-off and forward measurements. The comparison result demonstrates the validity of the proposed method for small- and large-signal modeling of GaN devices.


An in-plane switching type liquid crystal display unit has an array substrate structure for a matrix of thin film transistors, pixel electrodes connectable through associated thin film transistors to data lines and a common electrode, a counter substrate structure for a black matrix and color filters and liquid crystal filling the gap between the array substrate structure and the counter substrate structure, wherein spacer columns and spacer walls are respectively formed in an image producing area and a frame area, and the spacer walls are formed of anti-eroded material less eroded in acidic washing solution rather than the sealant for a sealing layer for adhering the substrate structures together, thereby preventing the liquid crystal from contaminant due to the acidic washing solution.


A new phase transformation was found in the superheating of liquid metals, semiconductors, and alloys at 700 to 900 deg C above the melting point. The superheating temperature at about 800 deg C is called the temperature of transition to a statistical packing state of atoms or transition to a structureless fluid. The transformation is accompanied by an increase in volume and absorption of heat upon heating in the range 0 to 80 deg C. As an example, with Ag, Cu, Ge, Ga, and In, the volume increase and heat absorption in statistical packing equal those of melting. Depending on the nature of the stepwise increase in density (at 0 to 80 deg C), the conversion to the statistical packing state may go to a phase transformation of both the first and second types. By extrapolation of the volume to 0 deg K, coordination numbers in the statistical packing stage are found. The constants of the material are examined for the time when the settled life of an atom equals the time of its conversion. In the statistical packing state the excess energy of self-diffusion is more » applied to each atom. The discovery of the transition to the statistical packing state, like the phase transformation, allows propagation of the lever principle'' to the liquid phase region for determining the fraction of the order state of the atoms and the fraction of statistical packing of the atoms at a temperature between the melting point and the statistical packing temperature.

This paper juxtaposes two clusters of theories; political conflict, resource mobilization, organizational, and political opportunity theories, on the one hand, and mass society, structural-functional, and relative deprivation theories, on the other. It assesses their explanatory power in predicting participation in revolutionary movements. It uses survey data from a nationally representative sample of 3,143 Egyptian adults who rated their participation in the revolutionary movement against President Mubarak from 1, no participation, to 10, utmost participation. The analysis of the data identified three sets of variables that are linked to participation: attitudes against the government and attitudes in favor of alternative sociopolitical orders, individual efficacy, dysphoric emotions, and immorality; such mediums of communicative power as the Internet, mobiles, and opposition newspapers; and demographics, including being male, residing in the urban area, and living impressionable years under President Mubarak. The socioeconomic status having an inverted-U relationship with participation suggests that the revolution was led by members of the middle class. The data, however, provides support for contradictory hypotheses drawn from both clusters of theories. The analysis thus suggests rethinking about predictors of participation. This entails departing from the conception that presumes the participants as monolithic individuals rather than manifold and heterogeneous, a new look at the relationship between immorality and participation, and a refocus on the monolithic state as the unifying element in the revolutionary process. The Arab Spring and Egyptian Revolution Makers: Predictors of Participation 3 INTRODUCTION On December 17, 2010, street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, in protest of the mistreatment he received from the municipal agents. His death, days later, turned into a national tragedy, which was thought to have caused by the government, and unleashed such uproars that President Zein al-Abedin Ben Ali was forced to flee the country. Like a wildfire, popular protests then spread from one Arab country to another until the entire region was engulfed, ushering in a new era in the history of the region and known as the Arab Spring. On January 14, 2011, protests broke out in Jordan's capital and other major cities. On January 16, a 32-year-old Yemeni mother of three posted a message on Facebook calling people to celebrate the Tunisian uprising, an initiative followed by a chain of upheavals that several months later forced President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down. On January 25, a computersavvy Egyptian used Facebook to organize a rally to protest against police brutality, the state of emergency laws, lack of freedom, and corruption in high places, an action that led to the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak. On February 14, an anti-government rally was organized in Bahrain. On the following day, thousands of Libyans protested after the government arrested human-rights attorney Fathi Terbii in Benghazi, Libya, leading to armed rebellion against Colonel Gadhafi, who was eventually captured and killed. And on March 13, Syrian security forces opened fire on people who had gathered in Deraa's main mosque in southern Syria to deliberate about how to respond to the arrests of a few students who wrote anti-regime slogans on their school walls. Demonstrations with varying levels of intensity also erupted in Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia. These events raise questions about the dominant sociological theories of rebellion and revolutionary movements, including political conflict, resource mobilization, organizational, and political opportunity structure (PROP, hereafter) theories. While in every case discontented individuals appeared to have overcome fear, defied the repressive regimes, and poured into the public space in large number, it is not quite clear as to how these individuals organized themselves into collective action, planned rallies, designed visual rhetoric, produced slogans that they chanted harmoniously, and mobilized emotional energies. More pressing, however, are the socioeconomic and cultural factors that predict participation. Are these participants predominantly self-empowered, cognitively liberated, linked in organized networks, and morally outraged as PROP theories tend to predict? Or, alternatively, are they predominantly fatalistic, The Arab Spring and Egyptian Revolution Makers: Predictors of Participation 4 insecure, and powerless as forecasted by mass-society, structural-functional, and relativedeprivation (MSR, hereafter) theories? What were the facilitators of and inhibitors to their participation? What is the relationship between socioeconomic status and participation? How did the discontented individuals manage to connect to one another and form the critical mass that tipped the balance of forces vis-à-vis the government to their favor? To what extent are participations linked to liberal values, religiosity, morality, organization, sources of information, and attitudes toward outsiders? An analysis of the series of events that contributed to the making of the Arab Spring is useful for empirical interrogations of the dominant theories of revolutions and rebellions. In the case of Egypt, however, nationally representative sample data are available that provide insights into the socioeconomic and cultural profiles of the revolutionary actors. By analyzing data from a full-scale national values survey carried out in the country in the summer of 2011, this paper will (1) assess alternative hypotheses derived from PROP and MSR theories, (2) reveal limitations in both clusters of theories, (3) suggest additional predictors of participation, (4) offer an alternative conceptualization of revolutionary actors, and thus (5) contribute to the socialscientific understanding of revolutionary participation. THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENT: PROFILE OF REVOLUTION MAKERS People who play leading roles in a revolutionary movement are conceptualized as "professional revolutionists" (Arendt 1963: 262-263), "power contenders" (Tilly 1978), or "state builders" (Skocpol 1979). These concepts, however, are too restrictive to be applicable to the ordinary people involved in a revolutionary movement. As an alternative, the individual participants are conceptualized as revolution makers. This concept is used as a heuristic device to apply to the category of diverse individuals who are committed in varying degrees to a revolutionary overthrow of the ruling regime. These individuals seek out resources, networks, and organizations; make use of the available opportunities; and invent new strategies of political actions that render the state's repressive technologies ineffective, catching the repressive forces by surprise. While PROP and MSR theories are juxtaposed to assess their explanatory power in According to Arendt (1963: 262-263), "the French Revolution also gave rise to a new figure of professional revolutionist, who spent his life "not in revolutionary agitation, for which there existed but few opportunities, but in study and thought, in theory and debate... [His] essentially theoretical way of life was spent in the famous libraries of London and Paris, or in the coffee house of Vienna and Zurich, or in the relatively comfortable and undisturbed jails of the various anciens regimes." The Arab Spring and Egyptian Revolution Makers: Predictors of Participation 5 predicting the profiles of revolution makers, a multidisciplinary perspective is adopted in order to arrive at a fuller understanding of the range of sociological and psychological factors that are linked to revolutionary participations. Revolution Makers: Attitudes, Efficacy, and Morality


Just as the UK's Prime Minister takes a strong position on televised debates LSE's Nick Anstead announces his new research concluding that the format of any 2015 UK debates should follow Canadian and German models in order to recognize the regional dynamics of British politics and that the general election selects both the executive and legislature.


A pancreatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening clinical entity. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of great clinical importance. We herein present an unusual case of a pseudoaneurysm of the posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery that developed as a complication of chronic pancreatitis. It was detected in a timely manner and successfully treated with minimally invasive endovascular therapy.


ABSTRACT MEASUREMENTS of the water retention characteristics, saturated hydraulic conducivity and the penetration resistance were made on three soil types having varying organic matter contents and different amount of compaction effort. Compaction changes the ability of the soils to hold moisture, increases penetration resistance and decreases the available water capacity and saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soils. On the other hand, organic matter generally increases the ability of the soils to hold moisture, expands the available water capacity, increases the saturated conductivity and decreases the penetraiton resistance of compacted soils.


[1] The importance of interactions between impact-induced vapor clouds and an ambient atmosphere has been widely recognized, and theoretical approaches have provided significant insights. Few experiments, however, have been done to observe directly the energy partitioning during the interactions between impact vapor clouds and the ambient atmosphere. The present study attempts to understand the difference between actual and theoretical model impact vapor clouds produced under an atmosphere. A series of hypervelocity impact experiments was conducted using a spectroscopic measurement method. Plastic (polycarbonate) impactors allowed simulating vaporization phenomena associated with natural impactors (e.g., silicates and metals) at high impact velocities into water. Water as the target material served to suppress the effect of fine-grained fragments from the target. Emission spectra of the leading part of downrange-moving impact vapor clouds were captured with high-speed spectrometers as a function of time for various ambient pressures. The emission spectra exhibit strong molecular bands from carbon compounds as well as blackbody continuum radiation. In order to estimate the temperature of the radiation source, we carried out a spectral-form inversion analysis based on diatomic emission theory. Obtained molecular radiation temperatures range from 4500 K to 5500 K with relatively high accuracy (∼2%) and place a number of well-defined constraints for the radiation source. A simple theoretical model that is often assumed for an impact-induced vapor cloud, however, does not readily satisfy the constraints. This strongly suggests that real impact-induced vapor clouds may be more complex than previously thought.

One of the key factors for success of sustainable tourism industry in all areas, including rural, is the support of community members. The paper aims to analyze how rural residents' perceptions of sustainable tourism development (expressed through economic, social, environmental, and physical benefits) can affect residents' intentions to support tourism. The second aim was to determine if attachment to the particular community and perceived quality of life can have influence on attitudes towards sustainable development of tourism in rural communities. Using a sample of 881 residents living in rural areas of the Republic of Serbia, the results highlighted that perceived values of tourism were important for evaluating how tourism is developed, if it is sustainable for a community, and how it affects quality of residents' life. The study provided better understanding of factors that can have impact on residents' attitudes in relation to tourism and highlighted the importance of paying attention to local community as significant player for tourism development, especially in those regions that want to boost its economy by developing sustainable tourism.
