Soldiers equipped with linear and nonlinear earplugs have been exposed to large impulses (weapon noises) and audiometric tests have been performed just before and after the exposures. In particular, new nonlinear perforated earplugs (allowing speech communication, detection and localization of acoustic sources) which have been developed at the French–German Research Institute of Saint‐Louis are efficient for repeated exposures up to 187‐dB peak when they are well fitted [Johnson and Patterson (1996) personal communication]. From various TTS studies it is concluded that: (i) the peak pressure attenuation (measured with a specially designed ATF) grossly underestimates the protection afforded by the earplugs when used in conjunction with the classical criteria for weapon noises (CHABA, MIL‐STD, criterion of Pfander, criterion of Smmorenburg). The risk corresponding to an exposure to a slow rise‐time impulse (i.e., under an earplug) is much lower than the risk corresponding to an exposure to an impulse of the...


To evaluate post-caesarean section wound healing on patient given standard analgesia compared with Tranversus Abdominis plane Block (TAP Block) and wound site infiltration based on REEDA scale and platelet Lymphocyte Ratio 72 hours post-caesarean section. A randomized clinical controlled trial study was conducted on 30 post-caesarean section women under spinal anesthesia. Participants were randomly divided into the groups: Standard Analgesia groups (SA), TAP Block groups (TAP), and Wound Site Infiltration groups (Infiltration). Each group received standard analgesia (ketorolac and tramadol) and adjuvant analgesia Ropivacain 0.2% on transversus abdominis space (TAP block group) and wound site infiltration in infiltration group. Wound healing was evaluated based on REEDA Scale and Platelet Lymphocite Ratio (PLR) 72 hours post-operation. There were significant differences on REEDA scale and PLR value between the three groups 72 hours post-caesarean section (P < 0.001). TAP groups had the lowest REEDA Scale (0,2 ±0.422) and PLR value (134.2±18.57)
Tranversus abdominis plane block showed the best healing process compared to standard analgesia only and wound site infiltration.

Sanitation, according to Ghana Community Water and Sanitation Agency, is the safe disposal of feacal matter
through the provision of Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrines to small communities and Kumasi Ventilated
Improved Pits to small towns. This is in line with the Agency's goal of improving the standard of living of
small communities and small towns in the country. This paper gives account of the problem of sanitation
coverage in the country. First, a brief history of the types of sanitation facilities, who provided them and how
they were managed in the small communities and small towns before the inception of Community Water and
Sanitation Agency. It also takes a look at the strategies that Community Water and Sanitation Agency adopted
in the provision of sanitation facilities and the issues of data collection in the country. Finally, I have tried
to give my views on the way forward in the country's attempt at getting data on sanitation facilities.


This article argues that the rapid expansion of Australia's gay bar scene from the late 1970s was aided by the parallel development of a new media genre: the gay lifestyle publication. The reason for this was a powerful synergy that existed between the publicity needs of the bar scene and the editorial, distribution and revenue needs of the lifestyle magazines. Conversely, the lack of such a synergy between the internet and the bars today can be seen as contributing to the recent decline of gay bars in Australian cities.


There have been various broadcast schemes based either on mobile users' data access frequencies or on the semantic relations of data.In this paper, we present a data broadcast scheme based both on the semantic relationship and the access probabilities. The broadcast scheme we propose generates a broadcast sequence according to the semantic relationship and replicates popular data items several times according to the data access probabilities. We show our broadcast scheme is efficient through performance evaluations.


: In this study, we simulate the railway crash accident that occurred at the Sangwangsimni station on the Seoul Metro Line #2, and we propose a solution to minimize the damage. We use LS-DYNA, which is the commercial software employed for collision analysis to perform 1-D and 3-D simulations for the recurrence of accidents. By performing 1-D simulations, we analyze the load, displacement, absorbed energy of the couplers, and acceleration of vehicles, and we evaluate the safety in accidental collisions. By performing 3-D simulations, we analyze the deformation of the car and over-ridding. We propose methods to improve the safety in collisions involving railway vehicles, and we perform collision accident simulations to determine improvements when applying a high-performance energy absorber to the front car.


Acoustic behaviour in Malawian Cichlids (Pseudotropheus, Cichlidae): Potential cues for species recognition and intraspecific communication Acoustic communication may play an important role in mate recognition systems among African cichlids and may contribute to the evolutionary processes involved in their rapid speciation. Sounds produced in early courtship (during quivering) by males of three closely related Malawi species of the Pseudotropheus zebra complex (Pseudotropheus zebra, P. callainos and P. 'zebra gold') were recorded and compared among species. In one species (P. zebra), sounds emitted during quivering were compared to sounds produced during later courtship behaviour, such as circle and lead-swim, and with sounds emitted during male-male and female-female interactions. The following acoustic parameters were measured: sound duration (ms), number of pulses per sound, initial and mean pulse periods (ms), and peak frequency of sounds (Hz). Differences in male courtship sounds were found among species. P. 'zebra gold' produced longer sounds with a higher number of pulses than P. callainos, and P. zebra males showed longer initial and mean pulse periods than the other two species. In P. zebra, male courtship, male agonistic and female agonistic sounds also differed significantly in some parameters. These results suggest that in the studied species acoustic signals could be used in species-specific recognition and potentially promote reproductive isolation, and in intraspecific communication.


In UMTS-TDD (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Time Division Duplex) the data rates and the service quality (bit error rate, delays) are provided by the Radio Resource Management (RRM). The RRM manages the transmission power, the spreading factor and the orthogonal code assignement. The specifications leave open the choice of the RRM strategy. This work proposes a scheme suitable for mixed traffic consisting of Real Time (RT) services and Non Real Time (NRT) services in downlink. For NRT services, in presence of RT services, a channel allocation power-based strategy is combined at the physical layer with an opportunistic scheduling at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer to minimize Node-B transmitting power and schedule mixed traffic that benefits of a good radio channel and respects Quality of Service (QoS) constraints and fairness rules. The overall RRM strategy minimizes the number of RT rejected calls and the Block Error Rate (BLER) of NRT services. Keywords— UMTS, TDD, scheduling, fairness

The device can provide large output force; meanwhile, as the removable clamping mechanisms are applied, and a screw thread self-locking theory is combined, small displacement of the piezoelectricity stack is accumulated.


Stabilizing the interface wave of the molten aluminum(metal)-electrolyte(bath)is beneficial to shorten the anode-cathode distance(ACD)which is critical to the energy saving.A coupled mathematical model was developed to study the impact of the novel cathode protrusion on the molten fluid motion as well as the metal-bath interface deformation.The molten fluid motion in the aluminum reduction ceils is under the combined effect of the electro-magnetic forces(EMFs)and the gas bubbles generated at the anode.A transient inhomogeneous three-phase model(metal-bath-gas bubble)was established in order to calculate more accurate.The results indicate that the metal-bath interface deformation can be reduced significantly by the novel cathode protrusion which is beneficial to the electric energy saving.Besides,The EMFs decreases as a result of the optimizing of the magnetic field due to the novel cathode convex which is an important driving force for the deformation of the interface.In addition,large vortex in the metal flow field is break up into the small vortex by the cathode protrusion and then dissipated due to the viscous force and the hindering effect of the cathode protrusion.The quantity of the vortex as well as the strength of the vortex reduces significantly in the reduction cell with novel cathode protrusion.


ABSTRACTCytochrome P450 monooxygenases catalyze oxidative reactions in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites as well as in metabolism of xenobiotics in higher plants. The enzyme system localized on the microsomes of plant cells consists of many cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) species and one or a few species of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (P450 reductase). Particularly, P450 species metabolizing herbicides play an important role in r herbicide selectivity and resistance. However, molecular information on plant P450 species metabolizig herbicides was quite limited. It. was found that tobacco cultured S401 cells treated with 2,4-D metabolized chlortoluron to give ring-methyl hydroxylated and N-demethylated metabolites. Then, we cloned P450 cDNAs from the S401 cells treated with 2,4-D by RT-PCR methods. Among four novel P450 cDNA clones, CYP71A11 and CYP81B2 were each expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and were found to catalyze both ring-methyl hydroxylation and N-demethylation of chlortoluro...

A simple idealized linear uplink cellular multiple access communication model, where only adjacent cell interference is present and all signals may experience fading is considered in terms of Shannon theoretic arguments. We address the case of practical importance where the cell-site receiver processes only the signals received at this cell-site and where the actively interfering users assigned to other cells (but not those within the cell) are interpreted as Gaussian noise. It is assumed that the cell-site receiver (but not users' transmitters) is aware of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratios for all users assigned to that cell. We focus on the effect of fading and inter-cell interference and also provide a general formulation for an achievable rate region. The features of TDMA and wide-band (WB) intra-cell multiple access techniques are examined as well as the role of (optimized) inter-cell fractional time-sharing protocol. With no fading, orthogonality within the cell is optimal (not unique however) with or without inter-cell interference. When fading is present and inter-cell interference is not dominant, WB intra-cell access is found advantageous due to an inherent fading averaging effect. This conclusion may reverse when inter-cell interference takes place and exceeds a given threshold: and then intra-cell orthogonal signalling (TDMA) is preferable. This is also the case where fading is assumed to affect only the transmitters in other cells, modelling an idealized situation with genie-aided unpenalized instantaneous power control within the cell. With inter-cell interference present, it is demonstrated that fractional inter-cell time sharing may prove beneficial. Extensions of the results to planar cellular configurations, macro or micro two fold diversity and random number of users are referenced.


This paper presents the integration of V-band and W-band antennas with SPDT switch on fan-out wafer level packaging (FOWLP) with a compact size of 16×10×0.35 mm3. A wide band chip to package transition is designed on redistribution layers (RDLs) to minimize the insertion loss between chip and antennas. Microstrip grid array antennas are designed and optimized at 60 GHz and 80 GHz. The antennas are fed by chip signal which is coupled through a slot in the ground plane. The simulation results show 10-dB impedance bandwidth of 9 GHz and 7.2 GHz for V-band and W-band, respectively, and maximal peak realized gain of 12.84 dBi and 14.42 dBi for V-band and W-band, respectively.


The author discusses a number of concepts and tenets of what is generically called the post-Marxist current, which self-identifies as contestatory, and that extends particularly in the nineties of the twentieth century. This post-Marxist approach aims to review, dilute or overcome some axes of Marxist paradigm, primarily the centrality of social classes in the contemporary world and the class struggle as an engine of social change. In that context, this approach appropriates and builds his theories based on new and not so new categories such as globalization, civil society and citizenship, giving them different contents. The author attempts to identify to what responds this intellectual movement, what are its achievements and constraints, also, he faces it, trying to claim the radical essence of Marxist thought..

Sixty two boys and girls with a visual impairment were tested for hand and finger strength. Comparison with sighted subjects shows this visually impaired sample frequently to be significantly weaker, and gives some support for a more specific positive relationship between the degree of vision and the degree o f hand and finger strength. Neither the age o f onset of the visual impairment, the incidence o f prematurity, nor the type of school attended had any notable effect on the hand and finger strength of the subjects in this sample.


This paper demonstrates the application of an optimized microfiber coupler sensor (MFCS) to the source location with modal acoustic emission (MAE) method. First, based on analyzing the key influence factors of MAE method application, the package optimization of MFCS has been investigated. It is found that the best packaging length is from the groove end to the place where the 2 fibers just begin to fuse, which could achieve both, good completeness of acoustic emission signal wavelet transform and relative high sensitivity. Then, the linear source localization has been performed using the optimized MFCS. The arrival time of the acoustic emission signal is decided by the contour threshold of the wavelet transform to avoid the wave reflection from edge and mode conversion. The locating accuracy with different thresholds is analyzed. It indicates that the result agrees with the actual source position better when higher threshold is set. Furthermore, considering noise contamination and the frequency components completeness, the appropriate range of threshold is suggested to the location calculation. Finally, the favorable localization result proves that applying this optimized MFCS to the MAE source location strategy is quite feasible.


The Forecast Evaluation Tool grew under the tutelage of Holly Hartmann based on interviews she conducted with regional decision-makers for The University of Arizona's Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS), a program funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Stakeholders revealed that they were hesitant about basing decisions on seasonal climate forecasts without knowing the track records of the forecasts.


The Council of the British Medical Association (BMA) has approved a document responding to many of the recommendations of the July 1984 report of the Committee of Inquiry into Human Fertilisation and Embryology (the Warnock Committee report). The BMA document supports the Warnock proposal for a licensing authority to regulate research and certain infertility services, and endorses the report's recommendation that research on fertilized ova should be completed within a maximum of 14 days. Although detailed consideration of the Warnock recommendations on surrogate parenthood was deferred, the BMA report supports the government's plan to introduce legislation banning commercial surrogate arrangements.

High-power fiber lasers have reached kW power levels. The most important non-linear process limiting power scaling of industrial fiber lasers is stimulated Raman scattering. Long period gratings (LPGs) couple forward propagating core light to forward propagating cladding light and are well suited as a filter for the unwanted Raman scattering. In this paper we show for the first time of our knowledge the inscription of LPGs in large-mode-area (LMA) fibers with ultra-short laser pulses. We investigate the influence of different inscription parameters with a 3D, spatially resolved measurement of the induced index change. We present results from gratings with an attenuation of 8.5 dB at the desired wavelength with a small out-of-band loss of 1 dB.


Removal of Cr(VI) from water bodies is an environmental concern of utmost priority. It requires adsorbents that can efficiently operate under real conditions. In view of this, two new mesoporous hybrid materials were synthesized from gelatin and silica in the presence of tetraethylorthosilicate and sodium dodecyl sulfate via a sol–gel method. The as-synthesized hybrid material had a surface area of 394.86 m2 g–1. It was subjected to calcination at 550 °C, and the resultant hybrid material had a surface area of 427.79 m2 g–1. These materials were used as adsorbents of Cr(VI) from its aqueous solutions, and the maximum adsorption capacities of 92.44 and 94.47 mg g–1, for the as-synthesized and the calcined materials, were observed. The adsorption was spontaneous as signified by the negative values of Gibbs free energy. Application of the experimental data to different kinetic models and adsorption isotherms reveals that the adsorption process follows a second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm.


Background As part of the Northwest Forest Plan, large areas have been designated on many federal forests in western Oregon to provide critical habitat for plants and animals that are associated with old-growth habitat. Some of the structural characteristics often considered typical of old forests include large-diameter overstory trees, large standing and fallen dead trees, and one or more understory layers (Figure 1). However, not all of these areas are currently in old-growth conditions. Many of them contain young (<40 years), uniformly dense Douglas-fir stands that regenerated after timber harvest. The original management goal for these stands was to produce high yields of timber and associated wood products. With implementation of the Northwest Forest Plan in 1994, the management objective shifted to accelerating development of old-growth characteristics by enhancing structural and biological diversity of these areas. A major challenge today is how to promote these structural characteristics in younger stands. Researchers have been asking if lessons can be learned from the development of our current old growth and applied to management of younger stands. Dr. John Tappeiner and his university and agency research partners are helping to answer this question by examining the differences in development between oldgrowth and young stands in western Oregon. Understanding how the structure of these old forests developed may provide a model for management of young stands, especially when the management goal is to provide habitat for species associated with older forests.


Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) plays an essential role in realizing
 net-zero energy buildings. Unlike utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants,
 the aesthetic of BIPV is a crucial issue for entering the market. Therefore, the
 demand for colored PV increases rapidly to fulfilling the increased energy
 consumption in an urban area. In this review, we would like to introduce the
 current status of colored PVs and four dominant printing-based approaches for
 demonstrating them. First, the Fabry-Perot filter, controlling the device's
 thickness, intensifies the PVs' color. Secondly, bandgap engineering of the
 light-absorbing layer enables us to generate a color by transmitting a specific
 range of incident light. Third, the selective layer, multiple stack of two
 dielectric layer, provides color to PVs. Lastly, the printing of luminophore on
 the top of PVs makes them colorful by converting high energy photons to visible
 ones. The progress of colored PV technology will help PVs enter into BIPV market
 by providing an aesthetic view to them.


Self-regulation development can be described as a process having multilayer causation. Following Nikolaeva (1991), we consider selfregulation as a system process, supporting relevant to the conditions changeability, flexibility of person's life activity. The self-regulation model (Nikolaeva, 1991) consists of three levels (the level of selfregulation of psychic states, the operational and the motivational levels). The aim of the current research was to influence on malfunction of the first level of self-regulation. The experimental group included 30 students in the age of eight-nine years having problems with school education because of instability and lack of concentration. The control group consisted of 32 children of the same age with the same problems not taking part in the intervention course. The basic diagnostics method was the Luria's neuropsychological battery of tests, adapted by Semenovitch (2002). The intervention method, applied in this study, was the method of sensomotor correction (Goryacheva, Sultanova, 2003). It is based on the Luria's theory of three functional blocks of brain (Luria, 1962) and focuses on normalization of first functional block of brain by means of motion. The correction process included four stages with special exercises (breathing, locomotory, oculomotor etc.) each one. Some basic exercises were performed throughout the whole intervention period. During eight months the children have been having two one-hour group sessions per week. Each group consisted of 6 persons. Comparison with the control group has shown that the sufficient positive changes of self-regulation level have taken place in the experimental group. Improving of school results, more pronounced in experimental group, also confirms that sensomotor correction is a powerful way of self-regulation development.


Condition and result are interdependent; however, the condition of a discourse is sometimes not explicit but implied, or even not expressed in a context. Such kind of condition is to be called implied condition and sentences with the said condition are to be called Implied Conditional Sentences in this paper. This article is mainly to make a classification of the said sentences and to introduce some of their translation skills as per An Analysis of the English Conditional Sentences authored by Xu Fengjiao and A Course in EnglishChinese Translation written by Zhang Peiji and other three authors.


Pollen, spore, and dinoflagellate cyst census counts are reported from Hole U1352B, part of Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 317 to the Canterbury Basin, New Zealand. Fifty one samples were processed for palynology between 91.1 and 181.5 m composite depth. Based on the shipboard biostratigraphy, the samples described here include sediment deposited during marine isotope Stages 12–10. Preservation of dinoflagellate cysts and pollen was generally good, although palynomorphs were frequently obscured by the presence of abundant terrestrial organic matter (cuticle and wood fragments) that was observed in all slides. Dinoflagellate cyst assemblages were dominated by the heterotrophic genus Brigantedinium, which made up, on average, 78% of the assemblage (range = 36%–98%). Alternation of two broad pollen associations was observed. Pollen assemblages dominated by Poaceae, Halocarpus, Phyllocladus, and Caryophyllaceae/Chenopodiaceae, interpreted to represent an alpine or cooler climate vegetation, alternated with a pollen assemblage dominated by Fuscospora fusca and Prumnopitys/Podocarpus, reflecting warmer interglacial conditions.


This study seeks to find optimal tax rates on gross capital flows. I construct a simple three-period model of pecuniary externalities where private domestic agents do not consider the effect of borrowing or overseas investment decision on their own financial constraint. The model differs from previous efforts in that it explicitly differentiates gross inflows (i.e., borrowing from foreign investors) from gross outflows (i.e., overseas investment in foreign assets) to reflect the significant increase of gross outflows in emerging economies. I show that the optimal tax rate on gross inflows is 0.8%p higher when foreign assets are included in the model, which is due to greater unintended side effects of borrowing through the channel of foreign asset prices. The findings generalize previous models that only use net flows by illustrating how externalities can be corrected with Pigouvian tax on borrowing as well as subsidy on overseas investment. This study also provides new policy insights into capital flow management by suggesting separate management of gross inflows and outflows.


The function f(x) is approximated by interpolation function f n(x)=a cos kx+b sin kx+∑n-1i=0[c ih i(x)+ i i(x)] such that f(x i)=f n(x i) and f′(x i)=f′ n(x i) (i=0,1,…,n). f n(x) is proved to be unique and is tending to Hermite interpolation polynomials H 2n+1 (f,x) as the parameter k→0 . The error term is also discussed, and as an application, a class of extended linear multistep methods of Adams' type for equidistant point are established.


SiO2 coating is prepared by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition for the inner surface of Fe-Cr-Ni cracking tube after service,and its anti-coking performance is investigated.The morphologies of the inner surface and the distribution of elements composition along the cross section of the used cracking tube are inspected by means of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersion spectrometry,so are the morphologies and elements composition of the SiO2 coating.The anti-coking performance of the prepared SiO2 coating is investigated under the conditions of naphtha steam cracking for producing ethylene,and its performance of thermal shock is also tested.The results show that the SiO2 coating is integral and compact.The coating reduces the coke deposition by 70.6% for 2 h's coking experiments,and the thermal shock could stand 7 times in water quenching at 900℃.Preparation of SiO2 coating for the inner surface of cracking tube by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition is an effective method for inhibiting coke deposition.


Investigation of the psychological effects of a terminal condition, wherein current care plans are primarily focused on physical rehabilitation and pain management, is crucial. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis enacts irreversible damage to the body of those diagnosed, resulting in neurodegenerative processes that cause paralysis and eventually respiratory failure. There is no known cure or cause, which eliminates many traditional treatment avenues. Though the disease wreaks havoc on the muscular systems of the body there are no direct effects that degrade mental processing, leaving the individual experiencing the condition an aware witness to their own functional loss. Creating a multidisciplinary approach inclusion of psychological care of both the person with the condition, as well as their family and caregivers, is integral to appropriately providing support. A community-based approach to caring and supporting those with ALS is integral to a comprehensive plan for addressing this terminal illness.


Gendered relations of domination, subordination, and resistance are enacted daily in organizational practice (Acker, 1990; J. Martin, 1992). All work, including teamwork, involves interaction through which gender relations become produced and reproduced, consented and contested. The main task of this chapter is to examine, using the theoretical framework of gendered processes, the various interaction processes in which members of self-managing teams engaged when working. After exploring the production and reproduction of gender divisions in Chapter 4, this chapter extends the analysis of gender in self-managing teams to the interactive processes that maintain gendered power relations. These gendering processes include the ways in which team members constructed the meaning of emotion displays, used metaphors to describe team interaction and relations, and how they consciously shaped their personas to fit the demands of teamwork.


Women use multiple strategies to cope with domestic violence, including religion and spirituality. While there is a body of research on domestic violence in the American Muslim community, little exists on the domestic violence experiences of a large concentration of Muslims in the United States – Black women. This article reports findings of a small- scale qualitative study that examined Black Muslim women's use of religion and spirituality to cope with domestic violence. Five themes emerged: seeking help from religious leaders, prayer, using Quranic wisdom, spiritual cleansing, and connecting to a larger purpose. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.


Objectives (1) To update experts' priorities of perceived key injury risk factors in alpine ski racing based on a framework and list derived 10 years ago, (2) to identify additionally emerging risk factors since then and (3) to compile a list with countermeasure suggestions. Methods A sample of 532 expert stakeholders (athletes, coaches, team medical staff, Ski Racing Suppliers (SRS) and International Ski Federation (FIS) representatives) from the World Cup (WC), European Cup (EC) and FIS-race level participated in a cross-sectional online survey. Experts were asked to name those risk factors with the highest believed impact on injury risk and rank them according to their current priority from a predefined list. In addition, experts were encouraged to name additional (not listed) risk factors and to suggest countermeasures. Results Regardless of stakeholder role and competition level, snow-related factors appeared to have the highest perceived priority. However, WC athletes' and coaches' perceptions were also related to equipment, while at the EC and FIS-race level fatigue and physical fitness-related factors were considered important. Athletes' perceptions were largely in agreement with SRS (ie, snow-related and equipment-related factors). At the same time, while coaches, team medical staff and FIS representatives additionally emphasised fatigue and physical fitness-related factors. Conclusion Experts' perceptions on key injury risk factors in alpine ski racing depend on the stakeholder role and differ between the competition levels. Thus, to develop effective prevention measures and to successfully implement them, all relevant stakeholders should be given a voice, and prevention efforts should be targeted to the specific level.

Lvdao Island is located in the east coastal area of Tsingtao. At the east of Lvdao Island, there is a national famous tourist island called Tianheng Island. Between them there is a tidal channel witch is about five to seven meters death and one thousand meters width. This channel is the main water-exchange way between the 1shoreside. So it will facilitate the economic activities of human if an entrance to the sea could be built to connect the Lvdao Island and the shoreside. In this paper, we will discuss the infection of the entrance to the tidal flow fields. Moving boundary technology is adopted in simulating tidal flow since there are large areas of tidal flat. Especially focus on the influence on the tidal flow field between Lvdao Island an Tianheng Island.

Medical image Segmentation plays a major role in MRI images processing; it's performed before the analysis and decision-making stages in several medical processes. Many investigators have developed several Fuzzy C-means methods. In this work, a reliable automatic segmentation algorithm based on the spatial FCM clustering is developed to minimize the effect of noise and intensity inhomogeneities. This approach combines two properties of the Spatial FCM using neighbor's statistical characteristics and pillar k-means. The proposed system has been implemented with simulink. Experimental results on brain MRI images show the improvement and increase the segmentation accuracy.The Current research work is compared with some wellknown existed methods to show the effectiveness that contributes to the development of tools needed in computer aided diagnosis systems aiming to assist specialists in making diagnosis decisions.


Abstract Archaean sedimentary and volcanic successions in the Lalla Rookh Basin and c. 2950 Ma old Whim Creek Belt in the Pilbara Block, Western Australia, were deposited in basins with roughly the same configuration as their present outcrop. Basins were fault-bounded and developed in an ensialic setting, overlying older (3500 to 3300 Ma old); deformed and metamorphosed supracrustal rocks and granitoids. The basin margin faults are now part of a pattern of strike–slip faults which were active during the later stages of regional batholith emplacement. In both cases, structural patterns and style of basin filling are similar to younger basins related to strike–slip faulting. The Lalla Rookh Basin was dominated by coarse clastic sedimentation, comprising alluvial–fan, braided–stream, fan–delta and lacustrine facies. The Whim Creek Belt contains bimodal volcanics and clastic sediments, which comprise alluvial, subaqueous fanglomerate, submarine-fan and basinal facies. Regional strike–slip faulting and the development of the Lalla Rookh Basin and Whim Creek Belt, in response to externally imposed deformation, records an important step in the cratonization of the Pilbara Block. Late Archaean sedimentary basins, dominated by coarse clastic facies and situated adjacent to major strike–slip faults, in other cratons may have a similar origin.


Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of orthodontic treatment using Orthoworld FASTBRACES® and assess patient satisfaction with various treatment parameters. A total of 559 eligible patients out of 20,240 cases treated between 2010 and 2023 were included in this review. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the type of brackets used: 29 patients with ceramic brackets and 530 patients with metal brackets. Following completion of orthodontic treatment, patients were invited to complete a comprehensive questionnaire, which assessed treatment duration, number of visits, brackets and wires used, types of issues encountered, patient understanding of treatment, overall comfort level, compliance, and satisfaction with the speed of treatment. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20,240 orthodontic cases treated with Orthoworld FASTBRACES® between 2010 and 2023. From this pool, 559 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. The adult patient group was considered age 18 and older. The adult patient cohort was divided into two groups: 27 patients with ceramic brackets and 368 patients with metal brackets. All patients underwent comprehensive orthodontic treatment using the Orthoworld FASTBRACES® system. Results: Among the 559 patients included in this review, a detailed analysis of treatment outcomes and adult patient satisfaction was performed. The mean treatment duration was calculated for both the ceramic bracket group (n = 363.04 days) and the metal bracket group (n = 439.20 days). The average number of visits required for each group was recorded at 16.82 days for the ceramic bracket group and 14.67 days for the metal bracket group. During treatment, various issues were encountered and categorized as bracket-related, wire-related, tooth-related, patient- related, allergic reactions, soft tissue irritation, bracket placement issues, performance-related issues, and hard tissue complications. Metal group had the highest number of issues with patients complaining of tooth issues (n=32), bracket issues (n=18), and soft-tissue issues (n=8). Both groups reported low numbers ( n < 8) for bracket performance issues (metal: n=4; ceramic n=0), placement issues (metal: n=2; ceramic n=1), wires issues (metal: n=5; ceramic n=0), hard tissue issues (metal: n=3; ceramic n=0), ingestion issues (metal: n=1; ceramic n=0), and allergic reactions (n=0 for both groups). Following the completion of orthodontic treatment, patients were asked to complete a questionnaire evaluating their understanding of the treatment, overall comfort level, compliance, and satisfaction with the speed of treatment. Patient responses were collected and analyzed to determine the rating of patient understanding, comfort, compliance, and happiness with the treatment duration. The average score for patient responses ranged between 3.14 to 3.42 (i.e., above average) for treatment evaluation survey (Avg: 3.25 ceramic group vs 3.37 metal group). Conclusion: This analysis of orthodontic treatment with Orthoworld FASTBRACES® provides valuable insights into treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. The findings shed light on the treatment duration, number of visits, brackets and wires utilized, and types of issues encountered during the course of treatment. Patient feedback regarding their understanding of treatment, comfort level, compliance, and satisfaction with the speed of treatment further contributes to the assessment of FASTBRACES® as an orthodontic treatment modality. The metal bracket group had a larger number of cases and a slightly longer average duration of treatment compared to the ceramic bracket group. However, the differences in average scores for patient understanding, comfort, satisfaction, and compliance were minimal between the two groups.


In view of the fact that the fast-neutron experimental cross-section data of hafnium which is an important structural material of fusion reactor are few and there are the great differences in their evaluation values, several activation cross sections of (n, 2n), (n, p), (n, a) and (n, n′) reactions on hafnium isotopes have been investigated by neutrons generated from the T(d, n)4He reaction at the K-400 Neutron Generator at China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP). The gamma activities of the product nuclei were measured by a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer with a coaxial high-purity germanium detector. The 93Nb(n, 2n)92mNb reaction was used as neutron fluence standard, these experimental cross sections of the 174Hf(n, 2n)173Hf, 176Hf(n, 2n)175Hf, 178Hf(n, α)175m+gYb, 178Hf(n, p)178gLu, 178Hf(n, p)178mLu, 180Hf(n, 2n)179m2Hf, 180Hf(n, α)177m+gYb and 180Hf(n, n′)180mHf reactions were obtained in the neutron energy range of 13.5–14.8 MeV. These measured cross sections were discussed and compared with some previous experimental results from the literature and with the evaluation data from ENDF/B-VIII.0, CENDL-3.1, JEFF-3.3 and the theoretical results by using the computer code system Talys-1.9.

Augmented reality is the merging of synthetic sensory information into a user's perception of a real environment. One of the most important tasks for every augmented reality application is to make the virtual scene and real scene merged correctly and become an organic whole. The implementation lies heavily on the cooperation between augmented reality hardware and software technology. Based on the analysis of traditional virtual-real registration technology which lies heavily on position tracking and camera calibration, we investigate the application of affine representations in augmented reality, and put forward a new method to get the relative depth of each rendered point. By studying the application of image analysis technology in AR technology, a numerical background expression method is put forward to facilitate the feature point extraction in the virtual-real registration process. We have performed both dynamic and static virtual-real registration experimentation using affine theory. The experiment results indicate that this method can effectively reduce virtual-real registration errors in applications of augmented reality.

Historically, measuring the quality of surgical care had been limited to 30-day mortality and morbidity rates. With the increasing complexity of surgical care and greater public demand for information about the quality of their health care, the development of more sophisticated metrics for assessing quality has become increasingly important. Systematic efforts to improve quality of care began as early as the 1960s, when Donabedian 1,2 developed a conceptual framework for defining and assessing quality of care. In this framework, he identified 3 basic components central to the quality of health care: structure, process, and outcome. Although each of these elements can be assessed individually, Donabedian emphasized that proper integration of all 3 elements is critical. Quality measures based on this triad have been an integral part of surgical quality improvement initiatives. Understanding these elements allows closer examination of various quality measures. This article, which is the sixth in a series addressing recent evidence-based recommendations for improving the quality and safety of surgical care, provides an overview of the structure-process-outcome framework of quality of care, with a focus on the advantages and disadvantages of each element.


Primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) is a heterogeneous group of congenital disorders of the immune system.The impaired immune response is caused by defect of immune active cells and moleculars,which results in increased susceptibility to pathogens.Recurrent infection is the predominant presenting complaint for patients with PID.Early diagnosis,immunoglobulin replacement therapy,antimicrobial treatment,haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy,genetic conselling and prenatal diagnosis will help to prevent and control infections in patients with PID.In addition,we should strengthen the education of paediatricians,improve awareness about PID and collaboration across different centers to advance the diagnosis and management of PID in China and save the life of patients at the maximum limit.

Abstract Liquid–structure interaction problem exists widely in the important engineering field, such as cooling tank and reaction tank in nuclear power plants. At present, the effective seismic analysis and design method of this kind of structure are insufficient. In this paper, by using Housner method and velocity potential description method, the seismic response of large liquid storage structure considering liquid–structure interaction is measured, whose results are compared with those obtained by the finite element method in Zhang et al.1 in order to study the applicability of these two analytic algorithms. The analysis results show the natural periods and inner forces calculated by Housner method are closer to those calculated by finite element method than those by velocity potential description method. The results of analytic methods are smaller than those of finite element method, which means it should be careful to apply analytic methods in seismic response analysis of large liquid storage structures.

Tumor-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common serious complication of cancer patients, affecting the survival rate of patients and leading to increased mortality. Tumor-associated AKI is mainly found in multiple myeloma, lymphoma, leukemia, renal cancer, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with chemotherapy and biotargeted therapy also being important causes. The risk factors include age over 65 years, previous chronic kidney disease, complicated diseases, hypovolemia, sepsis, contrast nephropathy, use of nephrotoxic drugs, large tumor burden or extensive metastases, extensive surgery, low cardiac output, and urinary tract obstruction, and so on. In addition to tumor-induced pre-renal factors, tubulointerstitial damage, and urinary tract obstruction, tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and anti-cancer therapy are also involved in the pathogenesis of AKI. Taking prevention as the main method, interfering with the above risk factors, selecting rational chemotherapy drugs and dosages, and timely diagnosis and correct treatment of AKI are particularly important. New measures such as high-cutoff hemodialysis (HCO-HD) can improve the prognosis of tumor-associated AKI in multiple myeloma.

Abstract The classical approach to build an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system uses different feature extraction methods at the front end and various parameter classification techniques at the back end. The Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and perceptual linear prediction (PLP) techniques are the conventional approaches used for many years for feature extraction, and the hidden Markov model (HMM) has been the most obvious selection for feature classification. However, the performance of MFCC-HMM and PLP-HMM-based ASR system degrades in real-time environments. The proposed work discusses the implementation of discriminatively trained Hindi ASR system using noise robust integrated features and refined HMM model. It sequentially combines MFCC with PLP and MFCC with gammatone-frequency cepstral coefficient (GFCC) to obtain MF-PLP and MF-GFCC integrated feature vectors, respectively. The HMM parameters are refined using genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Discriminative training of acoustic model using maximum mutual information (MMI) and minimum phone error (MPE) is preformed to enhance the accuracy of the proposed system. The results show that discriminative training using MPE with MF-GFCC integrated feature vector and PSO-HMM parameter refinement gives significantly better results than the other implemented techniques.


Abstract Studies on behavior of tephritid fruit flies have historically focused on the interaction of external stimuli such as temperature, semiochemicals, seasonality, etc., or the interactions of flies between and among species for an number of observed behaviors such as mating, pheromone calling and oviposition. While descriptive behaviors represent much of what we know about these pest species, less is known about the underlying physiological mechanisms which function in priming or modulation of the observed behaviors. In the Mediterranean fruit fly, virgin females are preferentially attracted to the volatile male pheromone over host fruit odors. This behavior switches as a result of mating. Factors from the male accessory gland have been shown to facilitate the switch suggesting a male role in modulation of female olfactory-driven behaviors. Other physiological factors are likely to further influence the degree to which female behaviors are influenced.

We propose a parallel iterative scheme with viscosity approximation method which converges strongly to a solution of the multiple-set split equality common fixed point problem for quasi-pseudocontractive mappings in real Hilbert spaces. We also give an application of our result to approximation of minimization problem from intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Finally, we present numerical examples to demonstrate the behaviour of our algorithm. This result improves and generalizes many existing results in literature in this direction.


Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are a useful tool for science and industry. They significantly reduce the risk to humans in operations in hazardous and high cost situations. The use of multiple AUVs can enhance the operational capabilities by introducing specialisation of AUV capabilities and parallelising task execution. The coordination of the multi-AUV team requires communication among its members. Underwater communications are low bandwidth, high latency and error prone. This paper studies different task allocation strategies for an underwater archaeological inspection scenario under communication constraints. Three different distributed methods are implemented and compared in simulation. The first is a greedy allocation method used as a baseline for comparison. The second is a k-Means based formulation aiming to balance the load among the robots. The third is the linear programming formulation of the multiple travelling salesmen problem. Results are analysed in the scope of mission completion time and the distance travelled by the robots. Results indicate that the k-Means method performs better when communication error rates are lower, while the mTSP method performs better when communication error rates are higher.

When Sam Lybarger labeled the small induction coil he used to access the magnetic leakage from telephones a "telecoil," he could not have foreseen that the ramifications of that decision would be bedeviling us some 60 years later. In 1947, his decision made perfect sense and, when used with telephones, the term "telecoil" still makes perfect sense. But, as can be seen from the two companion articles relating to telecoils in this issue (by David Myers and William Diles), these little structures can provide auditory access to much more than telephones. As these articles demonstrate, telecoils are being employed to hear auditory signals in a wide variety of situations. Yet, the hearing aid dispenser typically makes a decision about the need for a telecoil only on the basis of telephone usage. If a patient does not require a telecoil for this purpose, the hearing professional is unlikely to recommend one. But if we could change that mindset and make it known that these little coils are also effective and convenient receivers for assistive listening devices (ALDs), then their potential benefits could be fully realized in the U.S., as they have been in some other countries. This will be the focus of this article.


Modern technology makes it possible to deal with cognitive problems of ever greater dimensions and, allowing the processing of data in ?real-time?, makes it possible to develop working methodologies which bring together sources and information of various kinds. The study of forms of settlement (cities and territory) is by its very nature multidisciplinary and suggests, as a common instrument for the utilisation of sources, the correlation between each piece of information and the territorial area to which it refers. In Italy, the relationship between the planning of a given area and the history of that area is very strong: the identification and application of appropriate development models presupposes, however, that the historical information about the birth and evolution of settlements be made acc?s sible with the methodology and technology currently used for planning. For this reason, the public bodies responsible for territorial planning have an interest in the systematic acquisition of historical information in order to evaluate the environmental impact of new developments. In this context, a programme has been approved by the Italian Prime Minister's Office for a special data census of the environmental and cultu ral heritage of the Region of Sicily which will constitute the initial nucleus of a data base and will at a later stage be further developed by the autho rities responsible for environmental protection and planning.


Machine translation has developed more effectively to be specified as modern linguistics characterization. It indicates the formalization of translating process by machine within humanly approaching. Recently, in order to help people communicate indirectly through written, machine translation has its own system to break and match the codes through comprehensive database of words pocket. In linguistics perspective, machine translation always be assisted by its definite performance through derivative computational system. The problem appears when users need to translate ambiguous sentence from English to Bahasa Indonesia or vice versa. The paper used rule-based system which contains particular parts in order to run the process of translating; starts from tokenization, pre-processing, reordering and morphological process which lead to output accuracy. And used syntactic diagram translation, which was carried out manually by generating sentences into small units. The result of this research showed that RBS runs by standard linguistics system; and the output of translating refer to basic translation without giving any alternative translation nor meaning. While using syntactic diagram, there are possibility to get alternative result not only by linguistics features but also based on signification meaning of both translations. Those techniques run by considering linguistics features in order to help users to get translation output better.


Now a days, in each year thousands of car accidents occurs in India. Therefore, most of the automobile companies tries to give best Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) to avoid the accidents. The lane detection is one of the approach to design the ADAS, if the vehicles follows the lane then there is less chance to get an accident. The detected information of lane path is used for controlling the vehicles and giving alerts to drivers. Therefore most of the researchers are attracted towards this field. But, due to the varying road conditions, it is very difficult to detect the lane. The computer vision and machine learning approaches are presents in most of the articles. In this paper, a seed method is designed for the road picture segmentation for the multi-lane detection. The sparking method is applied to the segmented image to increase the speed of computer. In this proposed method, the target grids are selected form the road lane. Distance is calculated for road and lane. Based on the distance measure, the optimal segments are chosen, following an iterative procedure. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity are considered for the performance point of view for this paper. The calculated maximum detected accuracy is 98.89 %.


Evidence against a 40°C core temperature threshold for fatigue in humans. J Appl Physiol 107: 1519–1525, 2009. 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00577.2009.—Evi-dence suggests that core temperatures of (cid:1) 40°C can induce fatigue, although this may be confounded by coincident elevations in skin temperatures and maximal cardiovascular strain. In an observational field study to examine core temperature threshold for fatigue, we investigated whether running performance is impaired when rectal temperature (T re ) is (cid:2) 40°C and skin temperature remains modest. Seventeen competitive runners (7/10 women/men: 8 km best 1,759 (cid:3) 78/1,531 (cid:3) 60 s) completed 8-km track time trials in cool (WBGT (cid:1) 13°C; n (cid:4) 6), warm (WBGT (cid:1) 27°C; n (cid:4) 4), or both ( n (cid:4) 7) conditions. T re , chest skin temperature, and heart rate were logged continuously; elapsed time was recorded every 200 m. Running velocity for T re (cid:2) 40°C was compared with that for T re (cid:5) 40°C for each runner. Changes in running velocity over the last 600 m were compared between runners with T re (cid:2) 40°C and (cid:5) 40°C. Twelve runners achieved T re (cid:2) 40.0°C with (cid:1) 600 m remaining (range 600– 3,400 m). Average running velocity for T re (cid:5) 40°C (282 (cid:3) 27 m/min) was not different from that for T re (cid:2) 40°C (279 (cid:3) 28 m/min; P (cid:4) 0.82). There were no differences in running velocity during the final 600 m between runners with final T re (cid:2) 40°C or (cid:5) 40°C ( P (cid:4) 0.16). Chest skin temperature ranged from 30 to 34°C, and heart rate was (cid:2) 95% of age-predicted maximum. Our observation that runners were able to sustain running velocity despite T re (cid:2) 40°C is evidence against 40°C representing a "critical" core temperature limit to performance.

In this paper, a novel mathematical morphology edge detection algorithm is proposed to detect lungs CT medical image edge. It is a better method for edge information detecting and noise filtering than differential operation, which is sensitive to noise. And it is a better compromise method between noise smoothing and edge orientation, but the computation is more complex than general morphological edge detection algorithms


Abstract-Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a fundamental apparatus for monitoring discrete remote situations. One of the key innovations engaged with WSNs, is fault recognition in WSN applications. WSN are usually fault prone and reliability of sensor network is influenced by flaws that might occur, because of different reasons like malfunctioning hardware and also software faults or due to some natural reasons. The primary motive of this paper is to consider various approaches to fault detection techniques in WSNs and their upcoming predictions. To achieve this point, we reviewed various existing approaches and provided a broader outline of fault detection and also fault tolerance in WSNs. In this paper, the summarization of the existing fault detection techniques is stated, and further examinations are done to help sensor applications.


The plasma membrane proteome resides at the interface between the extra- and intra-cellular environment and through its various roles in signal transduction, immune recognition, nutrient transport, and cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions plays an absolutely critical role in determining the fate of a cell. Our work was aimed at exploring the landscape of the cancer cell-membrane proteome responsible for sustaining uncontrolled cell proliferation, and its intrinsic resources for enabling detection and therapeutic interventions. SKBR3/HER2+ breast cancer cells were used as a model system and mass spectrometry for characterizing the proteome. The number of identified cell-membrane proteins exceeded 2,000, with ~1,300 being matched by two or more unique peptides. Classification in four major categories, i.e., proteins with receptor or enzymatic activity, CD antigens, transporters, and cell adhesion proteins, uncovered overlapping roles in biological processes that drive cell growth, apoptosis, differentiation, immune response, adhesion and migration, as well as capabilities for signaling crosstalk and alternate pathways for proliferation. The large number of tumor markers (>50) and putative drug targets (>100) exposed a vast potential for yet unexplored detection and targeting opportunities, whereas the presence of 15 antigen immunological markers enabled an assessment of epithelial, mesenchymal or stemness characteristics. Serum-starved cells displayed altered processes related to mitochondrial OXPHOS/ATP synthesis, protein folding and localization, while serum-treated cells exhibited attributes that support tissue invasion and metastasis. Altogether, our findings advance the understanding of the biological triggers that sustain aberrant cancer cell proliferation, survival and development of resistance to therapeutic drugs, and reveal the vast innate opportunities for guiding immunological profiling and precision medicine applications aimed at target selection or drug discovery.


Many problems in geophysics involve correlation and matching of signals in which the spacing between events changes nonlinearly from signal lo signal. These problems require differentially stretching and compressing of the signal axes with respect to each other in order to align similar events. A method of correlating events between two signals is presented which allows for nonlinear stretch between signals. It is able to handle signals that are differentially stretched and compressed with respect to each other. It also allows for discontinuities in the strebh as in the case of one signal containing a set of events that are missing on the other signal. This method represents the relation between events on the two signals in lerms of a mapping function. The mapping function gives the corresponding position of every event on one signal for each event on the other signal. The instantaneous spectrum is introduced as a new technique of measuring the error between the signals as a function of position and frequency simullaneously. The least error mapping function is determined using dynamic programming which guarantees that the minimum error mapping function chosen is the global minimum. This correlation technique is demonstrated in trace interpolation of spatially aliased data. By correctly correlating events and interpolating between similar events, spatially aliased events can be unaliased.


The present work presents the dimensioning of a reinforced concrete structure, in which it will be realized with the aid of the structural calculation software, Eberick. In the same one will be compared the displacements on the last floors of concrete structures of reinforced, with use of massive labs, slabs with prestressed beams, and also the behavior of the structure without use of any type of slab, using the same architecture of the building. It will be dimensioned 5, 10, 15 and 20 floors, in order to verify the stiffness contribution the slabs to global stability.
With the displacements obtain little significant results in view of the importance that some authors cited in the present paper stress in relation to the slab and its contribution in the stability of the structure.


This paper provides effective features that can be used to estimate the level of valve leakage in reciprocating compressors. It is expected that the level of leakage will change the shape of the pressure-volume diagram. This method constructs a feature space using the polytropic exponent during the expansion and compression phases as well as the discharge and suction valve loss power. These features are extracted by measuring in-cylinder pressure, discharge pressure, suction pressure, and the crank angle. Linear and quadratic discriminant classifiers are used as machine learning approaches to classify the valve health of the compressor. This method is implemented on a single-stage double-acting industrial gas compressor operating on air. Faults are seeded by precisely machining valve poppets to simulate common valve leakage. The approach shows a high classification accuracy in determining the degree of leakage and shows promise for future work in prognostics.

A combination of channel estimation and ISI cancellation method is proposed for OFDM systems without cyclic prefix(CP).Channel vector of temporal domain,which can be converted to the channel characteristic of frequency domain after FFT,is estimated with the least square(LS)algorithm.Combining detection with ISI cancellation,iterative interference cancellation can be implemented in this paper.Simulation results show that the performance of proposed channel estimation algorithm is more accurate and its BER is close to the OFDM system with CP.


Small industry has a big role in encouraging development in areas, especially rural areas, which cannot be separated from national development in accordance with regional autonomy and regional aspirations. One of the small industries to fulfill development is the brick-making industry manually because it still uses a simple process in its production. Manual brick making cannot be separated from the risks that will arise for workers, one of the risks is fatigue due to the workload carried out in the process of making bricks repeatedly, the workload can be in the form of physical loads or mental loads. Fatigue from work will reduce performance and increase the rate of work errors. Increasing work errors will provide opportunities for work accidents. From this it is necessary to measure workload on work fatigue from the results of the ergonomic analysis of brickwork manual workers with Linear Regression with web-based programming. Each worker will be recorded based on the category Initial Pulse, Work Rate, Body Weight, Blood Pressure, Height, Age, as well as several questions to workers needed to measure the workload against work fatigue.

Jishan sand bed, a delta-packed turbidite fan-deposit distributing along Jishan trough, has been attracted our attention in recent years. Because of its poorer physical property, a reservoir productivity forecast technique becomes very important for such a formation. This technique is based on hydrodynamics theory and calculation of parameters of formation such as porosity and permeability. Log data and reservoir engineering data are combined together to build the reservoir productivity forecast model, based on which the productivity forecast software is developed. And data-processed result from 10 wells proved the forecast result is in good agreement with that given by geology.


In this article we investigate Marketing plan that all companies as a procedure must be performed effectively in order to gain market share, since the evolution of market demands historically market developments in goods and services identified by a scheme where the plaintiffs of these assets acquired its products through orders, ie bidders always maintained a constant and growing demand, where companies produced their goods only after they were ordered by their customers later and before the Revolution Industrial mid-nineteenth century, the dynamic changed and markets for goods and services both buyers and sellers were able to realize their business only depending on the best price possible for the parties, after the property market showed a sharp drop in demand in various sectors, this made the suppliers of goods and services operate under a strategy of low prices for their products, which directly influenced the fall of their profits to avoid this design a Strategic Marketing Plan Market or it is mandatory for the commercial area businesses


Providing the phase-matching condition is crucial to achieve efficient frequency conversion in a nonlinear crystal. Birefringence and periodically poled nonlinear crystals are widely used to establish the phase-matching condition. Here, a method is proposed to overcome the phase mismatching between interacting waves in a nonlinear crystal by modulation of the fundamental beam intensity and phase. Accordingly, the fundamental beam is focused by a multi-focal length diffractive optical element into a nonlinear crystal. Therefore, the fundamental beam suffers a specified number of foci along the propagation direction. The focus points of the fundamental beam are adjusted to coincide with locations that the interacting waves are in phase and for the length that the phases of the waves are opposite, the fundamental beam has a low intensity. Consequently, the back conversion is partially suppressed, and a net of conversion efficiency can be achieved. The method is validated by simulation of the second harmonic generation process.


The high‐intensity transmission characteristics of CH3CHF2 and CHFCHF were investigated in the intensity range of 5×106 to 5×108 W/cm2 for various lines of the CO2 lasing branches. For similar gas pressures, the ratio of small to large intensity absorption coefficients is relatively constant at various CO2 lasing lines. The ratio of ∼6 measured for CH3CHF2 at 10.6 μm renders this molecule a good candidate for CO2 amplifier gain isolation.


This paper presents a design of a Wilkinson power divider (WPD) with compact size and harmonics suppression for GSM application. The stub loaded transmission lines are used instead of two conventional quarter wavelength transmission line in order to miniaturization of circuit area as well as harmonic suppression. Therefore size reduction of 42% with unwanted harmonic is suppressed with respect to operating frequency. The measured return loss and isolation performance are found to be around 15dB and 28dB, respectively.


INTRODUCTION  Bond strength and friction of joints lead to bed-joint shear strength. The low mortar quality or low compressive stress can reduce the bed-joint shear strength. Many studies have been conducted on the post-peak behavior and the deformations associated with pre-peak and post-peak responses. This information indicates that the amount of pre-peek slip triplet and the post-peak triplet hardening behavior are negligible (Rahman, 2013). Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) are a special class of Fiber-Reinforced Cement-based Composite materials (FRCC), typically reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers (Kesner, 2004). In previous studies, the effect of this type of materials on the performance of structures has been investigated. Generally, it has been shown that ECC has a significant role in improving the behavior of retrofitted structures (Deng, 2018). This paper focuses on the behavior of brick masonry materials before and after retrofitting by using an ECC mortar.


We evaluate and rank the performance of Slovenian mutual funds. The Slovenian market might be interesting as an example of a successful emerging market in Central Europe.

Through Peter Shaffer's Equus (1973), horses demand recognition as an archetypal historical force because of all of the material contributions of their labor and attendant social, cultural, and psychic impact on the course of human lives and events. Using the film version (1977) featuring real horses along with the famously abstract, classically inspired National Theatre/Broadway productions (1973-77 and 2007-09), this essay examines how the play drills deep down into the past to induce eruptions into current consciousness of long-buried dynamics of the culturally formative human/equine relationship. These profoundly queer dynamics interweave sexual attraction between men with sexual attraction between men and horses. Appreciation of the play's historiographical work depends on re-membering both attractions and controverting evasive modern tendencies to elide the hippophilia in the homoeroticism or to infantilize and project the hippophilia chiefly onto women.


When processing information, vision makes up 80% of all five senses. Hence, visual research, in particular eye-tracking, plays a crucial role in euro-marketing. Eye-tracking can give effective spatial information pertaining to real life and can also be used for marketing purposes. For this reason, domestic interest in eye-tracking research has been constantly growing. The paper analyses previous research done by domestic journalists, covering 30 different sources, and focuses on various eye-tracking trends. First, it concludes that eye-tracking research is a recent trend that started in 2000 and grew exponentially due to interest in 2010. Second, as domestic research lacks sufficient amount of information, most methodologies and data analyses pertaining to eye-tracking are rudimentary. Third, eye-tracking research has been utilised in many different housing sectors, both public and commercial, and has been classified as a subject of study. It concludes that interior should be the prime focus of analysis due to its accounting for 73% of eye-tracking research. Fourth, when one looks at eye-tracking as a keyword, the concept of gazing(39.2%) in relations to data analysis can be viewed as the most numerous. While this particular research is limited in regards to both quantity and quality due to it being a relatively new trend, future research will be able to provide much-needed analysis and data, enhancing our knowledge of this subject matter.


: The projected increase in the concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is likely to result in a global temperature increase. This paper reports on the probable effects of a temperature increase and changes in transpiration on basin discharge in two different mountain snowmelt regions of the western United States. The hydrological effects of the climate changes are modeled with a relatively simple conceptual, semi-distributed snowmelt runoff model. Based on the model results, it may be concluded that increased air temperatures will result in a shift of snowmelt runoff to earlier in the snowmelt season. Furthermore, it is shown that it is very important to include the expected change in climate-related basin conditions resulting from the modeled temperature increase in the runoff simulation. The effect of adapting the model parameters to reflect the changed basin conditions resulted in a further shift of streamflow to April and an even more significant decrease of snowmelt runoff in June and July. If the air temperatures increase by approximately 5°C and precipitation and accumulated snow amounts remain about the same, runoff in April and May, averaged for the two basins, is expected to increase by 185 percent and 26 percent, respectively. The runoff in June and July will decrease by about 60 percent each month. Overall, the total seasonal runoff decreases by about 6 percent. If increased CO2 concentrations further change basin conditions by reducing transpiration by the maximum amounts reported in the literature, then, combined with the 5°C temperature increase, the April, May, June, and July changes would average +230 percent, +40 percent, −55 percent, and −45 percent, respectively. The total seasonal runoff change would be +11 percent.


A built-in antenna for a USB key like digital terrestrial TV receiver allowing free to air reception of digital terrestrial TV on a computer PC has been designed, realized and tested. The housing of the compact receiver is used as part of the antenna. The antenna design is optimized so that it covers the whole UHF frequency bandwidth with good radiation efficiency, while its size is imposed by the USB-key form factor. The obtained results are compliant with simulations


This paper presents a new multicell topology based on flying capacitor (FC) structure suitable for multilevel converters. The proposed topology employs the concept of phase-shifted carrier pulse width modulation (PWM) with modified modulating signals to generate appropriate PWM signals. The modulation strategy along with all possible switching states are explained. The implementation of the proposed PWM technique is shown by the help of illustrating waveforms. To show the advantages of the proposed structure, different performance criteria are compared with other FC multicell (FCM) structures. Simulation results are used to further evaluate the potential merits of the proposed topology. It is shown that the proposed structure is superior to other FCM-based structures from different standpoints. Specifically, it reduces the number of high-frequency switches, the number of FCs, and at the same time improves the quality of output voltage. A laboratory-type experimental setup is used to validate the modulation strategy and other theoretical findings.


Characterizing how ecosystems are responding to rapid environmental change has become a major focus of ecological research. The empirical study of ecological stability, which aims to quantify these ecosystem responses, is therefore more relevant than ever. Based on a historical review and bibliometric mapping of the field of ecological stability, we show that the two main schools relating to the study of stability—one focusing on systems close to their equilibrium and the other on non‐equilibrium behaviour—have developed in parallel leading to divergence in both concepts and definitions. We synthesize and expand previous frameworks and capitalize on the latest developments in the field to build towards an integrated framework by elaborating the overarching concept of ecological stability and its properties. Finally, the broad applicability of our work is demonstrated in two empirical cases. Synthesis. With rapidly changing environmental conditions, the stability of ecosystems has become a major focus of ecological research. Still, the concept of stability remains a major source of confusion and disagreement among ecologists. The conceptual framework presented here provides a basis to integrate currently diverging views on the study of ecological stability.

A model for undergraduate multiprofessional health education (MPE) is described. A ten-week introductory study period is shared by all the six health education programmes in Linkoping: nurses, occupational therapists, physicians, physiotherapists, laboratoy technologists and supervisors of social services in community care. The programme was introduced in 1986, with problem-based learning (PBL) as the common educational principle for all programmes. The experience after fifteen terms, with more than 4,000 students, is ovemhelmingly positive; in this respect there is little difference between the different programmes. The teachers also are positive but have to be involved and taught early about planning and implementation in order to secure their optimal co-operation. MPE is continued throughout the curriculum by means of theme days, shared seminars, patient sessions and team training. Undergraduate MPE is thus feasible and is recommended as part of the re-orientation of health curricula for the 21st centu...


Life is a Miracle An Essay Against Modern Superstition. Wendell Berry. Counterpoint, Washington, DC, 2000. 163 pp. $21. ISBN 1-58243-058-6. In part provoked by E. O. Wilson's claims in Consilience, Berry argues that religion and the arts cannot be contained within the boundaries of modern science or understood through its materialistic and reductionistic assumptions. Our reviewer suggests that Wilson is not Berry's real enemy and that their shared concerns about the way we live and treat our planet might more effectively be addressed by cooperation.

These resources cannot be neglected much longer without lasting negative effects. While we have introdu ed here the idea of a "resource-language" to talk about cultural and linguistic maintenance, we must see the differences between these and material resources like coal and oil. We can leave the oil in the ground and it will still be there to use in a hundred years; the more we use it, and the more we use it unwisely, the less we have of it later. Just the opposite is true of language and culture. The more we use these, the more we have of them; but the longer we neglect their use, the closer we are to extinguishing them. That has already happened for some languages, and we may be starting to see the consequences. The world will end one day, and the overriding cause is more likely to be a shortage of such human resources as language and culture, which could aid in promoting international understanding, than a shortage of such physical resources as coal and oil.

In this article we present an experiment carried out in an 11th grade class (terminal year) in the subject Descriptive Geometry A. In a context where the failure is high in national testing and also in its frequency, the main objectives that motivated the implementation of this educational experiment, the GeomCasting, were twofold. Firstly it was to increase the interest and motivation of students and the effectiveness of learning and secondly the preparation for the national test. This project was developed using multimedia applications based on the concept of podcast / vodcast / screencast, the GeomCast. These applications were created by the teacher and students (in a group), whose objective was to enable students to revise the subjects' syllabus in any place or time from the Internet, via ipods or mobile phones, whenever their memory needs to be refreshed, once these applications are available on the class blog.

Introduction: Aripiprazole is a partial agonist of dopamine D 2 and D3 and serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2C and 5-HT7 receptors, and it is also an antagonist of serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT6 receptors. Partial D2 receptor agonism is thought to stabilize dopaminergic neurotransmission in the mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways. Dysregulation in the dopamine and serotonin systems is known to be one of the factors that is responsible for the etiology of depression. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the antidepressant potential of aripiprazole in rats by studying its effects on dopamine and serotonin receptors.


Optical absorption of Eu3+ and Eu2+ ions in the polycrystalline europium oxides and fluorides was studied by the diffuse reflectance spectroscopy method. For all europium compounds, characteristic narrow peaks of 4f-4f electron transitions are observe. Their positions are rather independent upon the type of a compound. However, their intensity and number significantly vary, especially from the transition oxides to fluorides. In addition to those, shoulders of fundamental absorption in the oxide Rd- spectra of the oxide materials arise. Substitution of Eu2+ ions for Eu3+ ions in the EuF3 - lattice causes a sharp change of the spectral characteristics. It is accompanied by an appearance of the wide band due to 4f-5d-electron transitions.


William Luscombe: At Gary, Indiana, any repairs to the meter on account of damage by hot water or frost is charged to the consumer. Such meter repair bills are attached to the regular water bill. As has been stated, sometimes the consumer postpones paying for the meter repairs, but we make collections in all such cases without exception; in fact, in an extreme case of nonpayment we discontinue the service the same as for a delinquent water bill. However, we have been obliged to resort to that method in only a very few instances. In order to prevent damage to the meter by hot water, we have used various socalled relief valves in connection with the ordinary check valve, but we have never found a satisfactory relief valve, that is, one that was absolutely dependable and positive in its action, and which we could recommend or be responsible for. The nearest thing I have seen approaching such a positive device in my estimation is what is called the "red top" relief valve, recently manufactured by a Philadelphia concern. It is claimed to be noncorrosive and rust proof and the only working part is a solid lead ball, the application of which is upon the dead weight principle. I should be interested to learn if anyone present has used that valve, and, if so, with what success.
