Tight oil gas sands are important targets for oil gas exploration and development nowadays.They are a type of reservoir with tight sands,lower porosity and permeability.These geological features make their geophysical anomalies feeble,make their prior geological models ambiguous,and make corresponding geophysical data coarse.For these reason,the reservoir modeling can not characterize exactly the heterogeneity of light oil gas reservoirs.How to integrate effectively geological,geophysical data to construct 3D quantitative tight oil gas sands model in depth domain,has became one of the important issues in petroleum industry.Based on the technique theory and the evolution process of reservoir modeling,an integrated modeling program is designed in this paper.In this program,reservoir geological database is used to quantify relative geological findings about reservoirs,seismic attribute optimization and seismic inversion are used to construct constraint seismic database,refined velocity model is used to link corresponding datum in different domains,and face modeling,face-controlled constant reservoir parameters modeling are applied to produce a series of reservoir models.The plan is employed in tight oil gas sands reservoir modeling and gets good results in the practice.


The amino acids in the six antigens in cysticercus cellulosane-cysticercuscyst fluid antigen (Cfag), C. Scolex antigen (CSag), C. Baldder wall antigen (CEWag), C. Worm antigen (CWag), Urea C. Worn antigen (UCWag) and T. Sotium adult (TSag) were determined quantitatively by automatic amino acid analyzer. The relationship of original reaction between amino acids and antigens was confirmed. The results showed that there were 17 amino acids among all of the antigens. There were no significant difference (P 0.05 ) in composition of Asp, Glu, Lys and His of all antigens by data analysis software SPSS. There were also no significant difference (P0.05) in the composition of all amino acids between Csag and CBWag. The composition of Thr, Ser, Tyr, Ved, Pro. in UCWag was significant difference (P0.05) compared with other antigens. The sensitivity and peculiarity of UCWag were higher than that of the others. There existed significant positive correlation between Por. and sensitivity of antigen teaction, between Glu. and peculiarity of antigen reaction respectively.


Cavitation induced in tumors by pulsed high intensity focused ultrasound (pHIFU) without ultrasound contrast agents was shown to significantly enhance chemotherapeutic drug uptake. Such de novo cavitation is commonly assumed to require very high rarefactional pressures. However, recent studies have shown that inertial cavitation threshold also correlates with formation of shocks at the focus. The shock amplitude and corresponding peak negative pressure (p-) are primarily determined by the transducer F-number with less focused transducers producing shocks at lower p-. Here, the dependence of inertial cavitation activity on F-number was investigated in gel phantoms and ex vivo tissue samples using passive cavitation detection (PCD). Exposures at 1.5 MHz consisted of 60 pulses delivered at 1 Hz PRF, with each pulse lasting 1 ms and p- from 1 to 15 MPa. Broadband noise emissions recorded by PCD were batch-processed to extract cavitation probability and persistence. At the same p-, both metrics indicate enhanc...


Simultaneously tracking n targets in space involves two closely coupled tasks: estimating the current positions x1, x2, . . . , xn of their tracks, and estimating the assignment σ: {1, 2, . . . , n} → {1, 2, . . . , n} of targets to tracks. While the former is often a relatively
straightforward extension of the single target case, the latter, called identity management or data association, is a fundamentally combinatorial problem, which is harder to fit in a computationally efficient probabilistic framework.
Identity management is difficult because the number of possible assignments grows with n!. This means that for n greater than about 10 or 12, representing the distribution
p(σ) explicitly as an array of n! numbers is generally not possible. In this chapter we discuss a solution to this problem based on the generalisation of harmonic analysis to non-commutative groups, specifically, in our case, the group of permutations. According to this theory, the Fourier transform of p takes the form
^p(λ)= Σ_(σ∈S_n)p(σ)pλ(σ)
where S_n denotes the group of permutations of n objects, λ is a combinatorial object called an integer partition, and ρλ is a special matrix-valued function called a representation. These terms are defined in our short primer on representation theory in Section 13.2. What is important to note is that, since ρλ is matrix-valued, each Fourier component
^p(λ) is a matrix, not just a scalar. Apart from this surprising feature, non-commutative Fourier transforms are very similar to their familiar commutative counterparts.
In particular, we argue that there is a well-defined sense in which some of the ^p(λ) matrices are the 'low-frequency' components of p, and approximating p with this subset of components is optimal. A large part of this chapter is focused on how to define such a notion of 'frequency', and how to find the corresponding Fourier components.We describe two seemingly very different approaches to answering this question, and find, reassuringly, that they give exactly the same answer.
Of course, in addition to a compact way of representing p, efficient inference also demands fast algorithms for updating p with observations. Section 13.6 gives an overview
of the fast Fourier methods that are employed for this purpose.


This paper is a brief evaluation of fuzzy vault which is a biometric template security technique. Biometric based authentication has more benefit over traditional method such as password due to their uniqueness and necessary physical attendance at the time of verification. But there are large concerns about the safety and confidentiality of biometric technology. Fingerprint Identification is the most usually used biometric systems and fuzzy vault is a new method to secure the template. The purpose of this paper is to review all the important progresses in fuzzy vault till now. Index Terms – Biometric systems, template security, types of verification system, fuzzy vault.


IN 1842 COMMODORE Thomas ap Catesby Jones of the United States Navy, on his own initiative, seized Monterey, the capital of what was then the Mexican province of Upper California. What makes the seizure unusual is that Mexico and the United States were at peace, and when the "red-faced" Jones became convinced of that fact, he promptly restored the port to the Mexican authorities. By his bold action Jones stirred up a hornets' nest in American-Mexican relations and assured himself mention in the annals of American diplomacy. The episode reveals the difficult conditions under which naval commanders worked


A scientific work speaks for itself. The biographies of many scientists can be regarded as encyclopaedic tools, as temporal and spatial marks, and as mere appendixes to a bibliographyl But, it's not the case with you, dear Maja. Grateful students and colleagues as we are, we daily witness the humanism of your highly intellectual personality, your frankness, and devotion to your profession, your humbleness and scientific probity. Your life and scholarly work are tightly entwined. On this occasion we would also like to recall your late husband, dr. Bernard Stulli, an outstanding historian and the director of the Archive of Croatia. He was always a friend, a critical collocutor, a protector of tolerance in science, always claiming for responsibility in the research of national values and culture. Allow us now to present your scientific work by reviewing your published books to the benefit of the readers who have not had the opportunity to read them all. Your career as a folklorist starts with a thorough field-work in the early fifties. In its early days, the Institute of Folk Art (today: the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies in Zagreb) dealt mostly with folk music


Financial markets appear to improve the allocation of capital. Across 65 countries, those with developed "Financial sectors increase investment more in their growing industries, and decrease investment more in their declining industries, than those with undeveloped "Financial sectors. The efficiency of capital allocation is negatively correlated with the extent of state ownership in the economy, positively correlated with the amount of "firm-specific information in domestic stock returns, and positively correlated with the legal protection of minority investors. In particular, strong minority investor rights appear to curb overinvestment in declining industries. It is now well established that a sounder financial system is associated with faster economic growth. Recent research that examines the details of this connection has important implications for economies in transition. Stock prices in rich countries move in highly idiosyncratic ways that convey information about changes in firms' marginal value of investment. This information is important because it facilitates the rapid flow of capital to its highest value uses. In contrast, stock prices in low-income countries tend to move up and down en masse, and thus are of scant use for capital allocation. Stock return a synchronicity is highly correlated with the strength of private property rights in general and shareholder rights in particular. Many countries have voided protecting these rights for many decades. In light of the research we survey, the persistence of such policies requires explanation. Another strand of new papers offers insights. In many countries an elite (often the descendants of industrial barons who grew rich off political "connections" during early stages of development) controls most large corporations through "pyramidal" corporate groups. This corporate control gives the elite vast rent-seeking powers, which it uses to limit outsiders' property rights and outsiders' access to capital. The latter is accomplished by keeping the stock market and financial system from functioning well. The initial stages of this process of "economic entrenchment" may be under way in many transition economies. Economic openness may limit this sort of "economic entrenchment", and thus contribute to institutional reform and economic growth.


With 187 919 cases and 30 265 deaths by July 31, 2020, France was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the two-month confinement that began in mid-March. Although donor-to-recipient transmission and increased recipient mortality had been suggested by then, transplant-specific data were scarce [1-6]. The French transplant agency (ABM), acting with the public health council and scientific societies, recommended prophylactic measures, authorising procurement only for donors with negative SARS-CoV-2 screening in the 24 hours before procurement, no COVID-specific lung abnormality on CT scan and no clinical symptoms of or exposure to it in the previous 28 days. Each recipient's transplantation risks and benefits were reassessed in this context. Kidney, intestinal, pancreatic, islet cell and tissue transplantations were temporarily suspended, except for paediatric grafts and combined transplants.


Jets form an important class of flows in fluid mechanics and are a source of continued interest for researchers, particularly jets that are three-dimensional. The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for presentation and interchange of technical information on three-dimensional jet flows, from the dual view points of the experimentalist and numerical modeller.


A 3 million ton per year, three metal, vertically integrated, ocean exploration, mining, transportation and ore-processing and metal-marketing system is defined and the capital and operating costs estimated in 1980 U.S. dollars. A basic return-on-investment pay-out analysis model is presented with several alternate cases investigated. A series of tests is performed to determine the system's sensitivity to realistic variations of key costs and schedule. For a gross investment of almost $1.5 billion, or a fixed capital investment of about $1 billion, an ocean mining system producing nickel, copper and cobalt will yield approximately $423 million in annual revenues, a before-tax profit of about $180 million and an after-tax profit of less than $100 million, providing an unsatisfactory low internal rate of return of approximately seven percent. It is unlikely that ocean mining will be undertaken using the system defined herein at this level of return unless a critical feedstock for a company's major product is produced or a national need for a strategic metal develops. This conclusion is entirely consistent with today's low level of commitment to long-term, capital-intensive natural resource development projects.


The invention relates to a hydraulic system of a single face machine. The system comprises a motor, a high-pressure pump and a hydraulic integrated block, wherein the motor is connected with the high-pressure pump; the high-pressure pump is connected with an oil tank through a pipeline to absorb oil, is connected with the hydraulic integrated block by a one-way valve through a pipeline and entersthe P port of the hydraulic integrated block; the P port of the hydraulic integrated block is communicated with the P port of an electromagnetic reversing valve and the P port of an overflow valve respectively; the T port of the electromagnetic reversing valve is communicated with the T port of the hydraulic integrated block; the T port of the overflow valve is communicated with the T port of thehydraulic integrated block; the T port of the hydraulic integrated block is communicated with the oil tank through a pipeline; the A port of the electromagnetic reversing valve is communicated with two rod cavities of an oil cylinder; and the B port of the electromagnetic reversing valve is communicated with a one-way pressure reducing valve and is respectively communicated with rodless cavities of the oil cylinder. The one-way pressure reducing valve provides different supply pressure for different oil cylinders, so that a plurality of motors are saved; a large energy accumulator is adopted,so that the system is more energy-saving and consumption is reduced; and the one-way pressure reducing valve always provides constant pressure for the oil cylinder.


. A continuous function / on an open ball B in R is called positive definite relative to the orthogonal group 0(N) if / is radial and fff(x — y)cb(x)<p(y)dxdy> 0 for all radial (b e CAB/2). It is shown that / is positive definite in ß relative to 0(N) if and only if / has an integral representation f(x) = feix' da At) + \ex' du At), where u, and t¿ are bounded, positive, rotation invariant Radon measures on R and p. may be taken to be zero if, in addition to / being positive definite relative to 0(N), fff(x — y)(—Aíp)(x)(jÁ.y) dx dy > 0 for all radial 4> e G (B/2). Both conditions are satisfied if / is a radial positive definite function in B. Thus the theorem yields as a special case Rudin's theorem on the extension of radial positive definite functions. The result is extended further to distributions.


Abstract Rectus sheath hematoma is an uncommon and often clinically misdiagnosed cause of abdominal pain. We report such a case of a 42-year-old woman who developed an abdominal-wall hematoma at 32 weeks of gestation. Initially, she was suspected as having a complicated ovarian tumor associated with pregnancy, because of the intense abdominal pain. Both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging proved to be useful in diagnosing rectus sheath hematoma. A conservative management was applied for the rectus sheath hematoma and the patient recovered uneventfully. Although it is a very rare entity, rectus sheath hematoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of every pregnant patient who presents with abdominal pain.


? Attempts to get an insight in the major physical processes which lie at the basis of the recent plant species diversity decline in Flanders are mostly based on a black-box analysis of species lists. We argue that plant diversity monitoring programs should be based on a geographically explicit vegetation description approach. In this paper we present a phytosociological analysis and subsequent vegetation mapping of the Demer valley between Diest and Werchter. We used G.I.S. analysis tools to compare the derived vegetation map with a vegetation map of the same area made in the 50's. Land use changed dramatically and a clear dichotomy could be noticed between land use changes on dry versus wet sites. Most ecologically valuable grasslands seriously declined or disappeared as a result of urbanization, poplar plantation and intensive drainage and fertilization. Besides the total area of these grasslands, also the mean patch area decreased leading to smaller, spatially isolated communities. This development threatens the long term species survival within these remnants.

This chapter places the concept of targeted development in historical context, starting with an overview of the time immediately following the end of World War II. Interestingly, the logic for targeted development today has much in common with the decision to target development resources to Europe, rather than the developing world, in the second half of the 1940s. As the Cold War unfolded and the strategy of containment took hold, the chapter demonstrates how development promotion was sidelined in favor of a more direct approach to pursuing geopolitical goals in developing countries. The chapter then traces the rise of interconnections between industrialized and developing countries since the end of the Cold War and the impact of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks for focusing attention on spillovers associated with underdevelopment.


Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide given to treat diabetic macular edema that was unresponsive to a prior laser photocoagulation. Methods: An intravitreal injection of 4 mg triamcinolone acetonide was given to 25 eyes with a clinically significant diabetic macular edema (CSME) that failed to respond to conventional treatment within an average of 7.56 months after laser photocoagulation. There were 13 females and 4 bilateral cases. The mean age was 60.46.9 years. The response to treatment was monitored functionally by a visual acuity assessment and anatomically by an OCT macular thickness at 1-, 2-, and 6-month intervals after the injection. Results: After the intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide, 18 out of 25 eyes (72%), 20 out of 25 eyes (80%), and 13 out of 18 eyes (72%) showed improvement of the mean visual acuity at the 1-, 2-, and 6-month follow-up intervals. The central macular thickness as measured by the OCT decreased by 43%, 45%, and 20%, respectively, over these same intervals from an initial pretreatment mean of 498.7131.6 . The postoperative complications were an intraocular pressure elevation (3 eyes), and cataract (3 eyes). However, there were no serious postoperative complications such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage and endophthalmitis. Conclusions: An intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide may be useful for treating a diabetic macular edema that is resistant to conventional laser photocoagulation.


The adsorption of Cu2+ and Cd2+ onto montmorillonite modified with an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylsulfate,SDS) was investigated. The organic montmorillonite was examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption of Cu2+ and Cd2+ onto montmorillonite reached equilibrium basically within 20 min,and the adsorption capacity increased with increasing solution pH (1.0~7.0) with the optimum pH being 6.0. The adsorption isotherms of Cu2+ and Cd2+ were modelled with the Langmuir equation. The maximum adsorption capacities for Cu2+ and Cd2+ onto SDS-modified montmorillonite were 15.7% and 15.5% more than onto purified montmorillonite. The results of XRD,FTIR,SEM,XPS and the analysis of carbon content revealed that the SDS was mainly distributed on the surface of montmorillonite,with a small amount intercalated into the interlayers. The mechanisms of adsorption of Cu2+ and Cd2+ onto organic montmorillonite were mainly coordination and ion exchange.


Ultrasound imaging can inherently provide morphological information of individual muscles. In this study, we demonstrated the feasibility to use ultrasound images to characterize the feature of muscle fatigue. The right biceps brachii muscles of 8 normal young male adult subjects were tested under the 80% of the maximal voluntary isometric contraction for 30s. The SEMG signal of the same muscle was also recorded simultaneously. The results showed that the RMS of SEMG increased and the MDF of SEMG decreased continuously during the experiment, which confirmed that the muscle experience fatigue. At the same time, the muscle thickness continuously increased nonlinearly during the process of muscle fatigue, and the overall mean deformation was 3.5 plusmn 1.6 % at 20s. Our result illuminates that the muscle fatigue can be evaluated by ultrasound images


Twelve Marx generators, with a total stored energy of 26.4 MJ and a diode voltage of 10 or 5 MV, supply the energy to diodes to extract proton beams. A combination of two types of diodes is used. The proton beam pinches to a small radius by the azimuthal magnetic field, and its propagation is stabilized by the axial magnetic field. The cryogenic 6-mm-radius hollow shell target consists of three layers of lead, aluminum, and deuterium-tritium fuel. The target is imposed by a biased voltage of -1 MV in order to focus the proton beams on the target surface. The net plant efficiency is expected to be 33%, and the 800-MW (electric) net power can be supplied from one reactor with a 1-Hz operation frequency.


Compressive sensing (CS) in radar is presented at the system level with emphasis on the front end that keeps the functionality of data acquisition. In CS, the data acquisition is compressive as it delivers fewer measurements. We explore spatial compressive acquisition of radar measurements by the existing means available in a radar system: design of antenna arrays (AA), and focus here on active co-prime arrays. The back end is also involved with sparse-signal processing (SSP). Numerical results show the AA suitability for compressive acquisition and for the SSP with optimal processing gain.


Background: Dysregulation of histone modifying marks and their modulators leads to aberrant gene expression and could contribute to leukemogenesis via misregulation of gene transcription of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Although understanding of the role of the epigenome in cancer has expanded greatly, until recently there has not been a comprehensive characterization of protein expression patterns for multiple histone modifications, histone modification-related proteins (HistModProt), or their association with clinical characteristics in AML. We recently demonstrated that adult AML HistModProt form recurrent patterns of expression that predict prognosis (van Dijk et al. 2018). We now seek to determine whether HistModProt expression can predict prognosis in pediatric AML.
 Methods: We simultaneously analyzed expression of 7 histone modification marks (H3 core protein, H3K4me2 (2 antibodies), H3K4me3, H3K9me2, H3K27me3, H3K36me3) and 17 HistModProt (ASH2L, BMI1, BRD4, NCL, CLPP, HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC6, hnRNPK, JMJD6, KDM1A, NPM1 (2 antibodies), SIRT1, SIRT6, WTAP) in 505 de novo pediatric AML patients by the reverse phase protein array (RPPA) methodology. Expression was compared to 20 non-malignant CD34+ bone marrow derived samples. Patients were clustered by the progeny clustering algorithm coupled with k-means, which computationally calculated the optimal number of clusters. Patients were treated according the COG Phase 3 AAML1031 trial with a 1:1 randomization to cytarabine (ara-C), daunorubicin, etoposide (ADE) ± the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib.
 Results: Cluster analysis identified 4 groups of correlated Protein Groups (PrG) that defined 5 recurrent Patient Clusters (PC, figure 1). The first PrG consisting of HDAC's, SIRT's and BRD4 showed homogeneous normal range expression across all patients. PrG2 contains most varying expression of HistModProt and was therefore termed as modulators. PrG3, miscellaneous defined (misc) group, had universally low expression across all patients. PrG4 consists of the histone marks including total H3. Interestingly, all variation between the PC was due to modulation within PrG2 modulators and PrG4 histone marks.
 Patient protein patterns in PC1 were identified as closest to that of the normal bone marrow derived CD34+ cells by performing linear discriminant analysis and were therefore defined as most normal-like cluster. PC2 had very low expression of both PrG2 and PrG4, representing a more deactivated/off cluster. PC3 had somewhat low histone marks, with higher modulators relative to the CD34+ normal-like PC1. PC4 showed relative normal levels of histone marks but had the highest levels of modulators (i.e. NPM1, NCL and hnRNPK). PC5 had elevated levels of both modulators and histone marks and therefore PC4 and PC5 were considered to represent a more activated/on protein signature that was associated with a higher proliferative potential, as manifested by higher WBC, and percent peripheral blasts and absolute blood count (all p < 0.001). These findings correlate with clinical features of adult AML patients with upregulated HistModProt. However, in adults, different proteins (e.g. high BRD4 and KDM1) were more prominent in the upregulated HistModProt signature. HistModProt PC membership did not correlate with outcome overall (OS) or event free survival (EFS). However, pediatric patients with the on signature (PC4 and PC5) that received the ADE + bortezomib regimen had a trend towards longer EFS compared to those treated with ADE (P = 0.055), whereas PC2 patients did not benefit from the addition of bortezomib (p = 0.43).
 Conclusion: Similar to adult AML patients, recurrent patterns of HistModProt were observed in pediatric AML and associates with outcome. Relative low expression of histone marks and HistModProt correlated with favorable outcomes in both adults and pediatrics suggesting that these patients contain a more open chromatin state with potential for diagnostic and prognostic implications in AML at all age.
 Figure legend: RPPA-based heatmap of 505 de novo pediatric AML samples containing 7 histone marks and 17 HistModProt. The five cluster colors along the top bar delineate the five identified protein clusters (PC). Protein expression is normalized for each protein to range from the lowest (blue) to the highest (red) compared to non-malignant CD34+ cells. Identification of protein groups (PrG's) is shown.

Abstract Since the middle of 2015, the current refugee crisis is affecting Europe, and the open-minded European media society appears to be many-voiced, but largely helpless to encounter the high number of refugees. The reactions vary from a "welcoming culture" to the "building of a wall". And yet, the 20th century has already passed into history as "century of the world's refugee problem". Displacements, relocations, and deportations were regarded as appropriate means of the politics in order to create homogeneous nation-states and to allegedly ease troubled regions. The article attempts to link the historical aspects with current developments.


Games are increasingly proven to be effective learning tools through a multitude of methodologies and approaches and this is no different for issues relating to the environment and the place of humans within it. We collaborated with the Eden Project to create a mobile game addressing some concerns on the ecological awareness of visitors that they raised with us: a mobile garden management game with a plant recognition technology. Such a project proved a valuable opportunity to understand how a game for smart devices might promote short-term ecological awareness for a general audience. Using a research creation methodology, we analyse, document and run a limited empirical study through user experience testing on players to investigate if the game had an effect on their ecological awareness.


IRIDOSCHISIS is a term devised in 1945 by Loewenstein and Foster to describe the splitting off of the anterior leaf of the iris. The first description of this entity was by Schmitt, 1 in 1922. A search of the literature has disclosed 21 mentioned and reported cases, in some of which the etiology seems clearly traumatic, in others to be a late result of chronic glaucoma in combination with senile degeneration. All patients have been well in the age group of degenerative diseases. The following case is reported on the basis of the rarity of the lesion, the youth of the patient, the clear absence of glaucoma, and the associated finding of keratoconus, which has not previously been reported. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 20-year-old airman 2/C complained of failing vision in the right eye, first noticed about three months before admission. There had been no pain or redness of either


Misuse of anonymous online communication for illegal purposes
has become a major concern. In this paper, we present a
framework named ART (Authorship Recognition Tool), that is
designed to minimize manual procedures and maximize the
efficiency of authorship identification based on the content of
Internet electronic documents. The framework covers the phases
of document retrieval and database document management. ART
provides implementations of efficient authorship identification
algorithm and authorship similarity algorithm including the
possibility to obtain extra data for learning and tests. The
framework also determines whether or not different author's
identities are interlinked. The authorship is analysed by
machine learning and natural language processing methods.
Technical information such as IP address is considered only as
an optional attribute for the machine learning because it can
be easily forged or devalued if the author communicates from
public places or through proxy servers.


Tracking harmonic current quickly and precisely is one of the keys to designing active power filters (APF). In the past, the current state feedback decoupling PI control was an effective means for three-phase systems in the current control of constant voltage constant frequency inverters and high frequency PWM reversible rectifiers. This paper analyzes in detail the limitation of the conventional PI conditioner in the APF application field and presents a novel PI control method. Canceling the delay of one sampling period and the misadjustment for tracking the harmonic current is the key problem of this PI control. In this PI control, the predictive output current value is obtained by a state observer. The delay of one sampling period is remedied in this digital control system by the state observer. The predictive harmonic command current value is obtained by a repetitive predictor synchronously. The repetitive predictor can achieve better predictions of the harmonic current. By this means, the misadjustment of the conventional PI control for tracking the harmonic current is cancelled. The experiment results with a three-level NPC APF indicate that the steady-state accuracy and dynamic response of this method are satisfying when the proposed control scheme is implemented.

The main objective of this paper is to highlight maritime security challenges within the South Western Indian Ocean Region; especially by India and South Africa and to explore the maritime initiatives and developments embarked upon by the two countries respectively. The East coast of South Africa and the West coast of India share the same oceanic territory, i.e. the Indian Ocean. This research paper addresses important maritime developments in the South Western Indian Ocean region and highlights the diverse intensification of planned maritime activities in the vicinity. The developments range from safety and security cooperation among nation states, to an increase in maritime piracy, human and drug trafficking within the mentioned area. The article explores the main concerns and examines the efforts undertaken both by South Africa and India to meet the challenges posed by these developments in order to achieve short-term and long-term maritime security within the South Western Indian Ocean.


The priority of the state energy policy of the Russian Federation is introduction of resource- and energy-saving technologies. One of the areas to improve such technologies at thermal power plants and nuclear power plants is the effective cooling of circulating water in recirculating cooling systems. Despite the large number of scientific papers on this issue, improving the process of cooling the circulating water of recirculating cooling systems remains an urgent task especially when using cooling tower systems under the conditions of a limited amount of make-up low-mineralized water. There are no universal methods to calculate and design such equipment. Thus, the development of new methods to model and improve heat and mass transfer processes in tower-type cooling towers is an urgent task for the energy sector and related industries. Models based on the mass and energy balance equations are used to solve the problem of modeling heat and mass transfer processes considering the phase transition in coolants. Mathematical programming methods are used to solve the obtained equations. A model of the process of heat and mass transfer in cooling towers of recirculating cooling systems of TPPs and NPPs has been developed, considering a possible phase transition in coolants. An approach and method to solve the problem of choosing the design and operation modes of tower-type cooling towers is proposed. The simulation results are compared with standard data. Comparison of the calculated and experimental results has proved an adequate description of the real process of heat and mass transfer in the cooling tower using the model. It makes possible to set and solve problems to choose the optimal design and operating parameters of the recirculating cooling systems equipment. The proposed method to solve the problem of modeling heat and mass transfer provides the possibility of simultaneously searching for the most acceptable values of operating parameters and design characteristics of tower-type cooling towers for various purposes.


Companies and individuals demand more and more storage space and computing power. For this purpose, several new technologies have been designed and implemented, such as the cloud computing. This technology provides its users with storage space and computing power according to their needs in a flexible and personalized way. However, the outsourced data such as emails, electronic health records, and company reports are sensitive and confidential. Therefore, It is primordial to protect the outsourced data against possible external attacks and the cloud server itself. That is why it is highly recommended to encrypt the sensitive data before being outsourced to a remote server. To perform searches over outsourced data, it is no longer possible to exploit traditional search engines given that these data are encrypted. Consequently, lots of searchable encryption (SE) schemes have been proposed in the literature. Three major research axes of searchable encryption area have been studied in the literature. The first axis consists in ensuring the security of the search approach. Indeed, the search process should be performed without decryption any data and without causing any sensitive information leakage. The second axis consists in studying the search performance. In fact, the encrypted indexes are less efficient than the plaintext indexes, which makes the searchable encryption schemes very slow in practice. More the approach is secure, less it is efficient, thus, the challenge consists in finding the best compromise between security and performance. Finally, the third research axis consists in the quality of the returned results in terms of relevance and recall. The problem is that the encryption of the index causes the degradation of the recall and the precision. Therefore, the goal is to propose a technique that is able to obtain almost the same result obtained in the traditional search.


A definite answer can be found from reviewing the developing history of art design and design trend in developed country. The answer is that the development mainstream of art design is the perfect combination of cultural characteristics of nation, science and technology as well as art. China's modern packaging design should also follow this mainstream to find a foothold in China and to march to the world.


The invention discloses a lamp bar of a liquid crystal display (LCD) television and a directly-down type backlight module. The lamp bar comprises a printed circuit board (PCB), light emitting diode (LED) chips and lens covers. The LED chips and the lens covers are arranged on the PCB. Each LED chip is covered by each lens cover. The LED chips can emit monochromatic light to stimulate fluorescent powder to emit white light. The fluorescent powder is arranged on the lens covers. Due to adoption of the technical method that the fluorescent powder is arranged on the lens covers, packaging supports influencing diffusion angles of the LED chips are removed so that the diffusion angles of the LED chips can reach 180 degrees, and achievement of the LCD television with super thin thickness is benefited. In addition, the monochromatic light emitted from the LED chips is uniform in luminance and chroma, the quality control difficulty of the fluorescent powder in a lens cover manufacturing process is much lower than that in a LED chip manufacturing process, the luminance and chroma of lamp bars in the same batch are essentially same, and production cost and management cost of the lamp bar are greatly reduced.


The specific biochemical steps required for glucose-regulated insulin exocytosis from β-cells are not well defined. Elevation of glucose leads to increases in cytosolic [Ca2+] i and biphasic release of insulin from both a readily releasable and a storage pool of β-granules. The effect of elevated [Ca2+] i on phosphorylation of isolated β-granule membrane proteins was evaluated, and the phosphorylation of four proteins was found to be altered by [Ca2+] i . One (a 18/20-kDa doublet) was a Ca2+-dependent increase in phosphorylation, and, surprisingly, three others (138, 42, and 36 kDa) were Ca2+-dependent dephosphorylations. The 138-kDa β-granule phosphoprotein was found to be kinesin heavy chain (KHC). At low levels of [Ca2+] i KHC was phosphorylated by casein kinase 2, but KHC was rapidly dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase 2B β (PP2Bβ) as [Ca2+] i increased. Inhibitors of PP2B specifically reduced the second, microtubule-dependent, phase of insulin secretion, suggesting that dephosphorylation of KHC was required for transport of β-granules from the storage pool to replenish the readily releasable pool of β-granules. This is distinct from synaptic vesicle exocytosis, because neurotransmitter release from synaptosomes did not require a Ca2+-dependent KHC dephosphorylation. These results suggest a novel mechanism for regulating KHC function and β-granule transport in β-cells that is mediated by casein kinase 2 and PP2B. They also implicate a novel regulatory role for PP2B/calcineurin in the control of insulin secretion downstream of a rise in [Ca2+] i .


The purpose of this study was to determine student perceptions of the development of Japanese language teaching materials for tourism based on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). Teaching materials are referring to questionnaire data distributed to fifty students in Marketing Management Study Program. The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques using observations, questionnaires, and interviews. The three data sources were then analyzed using triangulation techniques to determine the truth and consistency of student perceptions of the Japanese language teaching material for CLIL-based tourism. The study results revealed that the teaching materials made could improve students' Japanese speaking skills and tourism. Apart from speaking skills, three other language skills (listening, reading, and writing), knowledge of vocabulary and expressions about tourism, basic Japanese grammar used according to the theme of each chapter, and knowledge of Japanese culture also increases. This research implies that the material developed can be used in introductory tourism language courses with new themes relevant to the tourism sector. In addition, further research needs to determine the benefits of the material developed for stakeholders (tourism work


The venture capital activity represents a financing intermediation suitable to the start-up and innovative SMEsO needs, and tries to confirm itself in the economic context. Indeed, such financing mode supports the companiesO creativity and development, particularly for the under capitalized SMEs whose access to the traditional sources of financing (bank financing and common stock financing) remain always difficult. In this field, this work tries to further explore both the key factors stimulating the venture capital activity, and the contribution of such financing mode to wealth creation and to economic growth. An empirical approach using panel data estimation is inducted here and makes up the contribution of this work. The estimation is relative to two linear regressions which constitute the retained model and tries to test both the effects of key factors on venture capital activity, and the effects of venture capital financings on economic growth. The considered data covers twelve developed countries (USA and eleven European countries), and all OLS, fixed effects and random effects estimates are applied. With respect to test results; however, only the appropriate estimates are taken into consideration. The main results show that venture capital depends positively on the R&D activity, and that such financing mode has a positive effect on economic growth. These results are also discussed to make meaningful comparisons with those of previous studies. Based on the conclusions, it may be recommended to consolidate the positive link OR&D Ð venture capital Ð economic growthO by the appropriate policies.


This paper reports on the e-Tourism and destination marketing concepts aimed at creating customer service experience through electronic connectivity based on the case of Tshwane Tourism area in the Gauteng Province, South Africa. The e-Tourism concept can be defined as the analysis, design, implementation and application of information technology and e-commerce solutions in the tourism industry; as well as the analysis of the respective economic processes and market structures and customer relationship management. Travel technology is increasingly being used today and can further demonstrate the systems that are in place to manage and monitor travel and travel tracking and flight tracking systems. The focus is on Tshwane Tourism area in South Africa. South Africa is experiencing a never ending growth in the tourism industry to date. From the beginning of 1994 they were 3 million visitors and this numbers went up to over 9,9 million in 2009 of which, just over 7 million were tourists. The South African Cabinet in October 2010 approved South African New Growth Plan of which the plan identifies tourism as one of the six core pillars of economic growth in South Africa. Tourism was identified as one of the core six pillars of national economic growth pillars. The Tshwane Tourism area is one of the developing tourism urban areas in South Africa. With advances in technology there is a lack for a well-structured information technology in the tourism industry to facilitate the access destination information by the users and many organizations due to the lack of funds to constantly upgrade their systems and equipment. Accessing destination information through internet is an intelligent way of getting the information, and many times, the information is highly accessible, on the other hand time saving and with extensive flexibility in the process. With more user-friendly systems and equipment, tourism destinations organizations can motivate employees more effectively and offer consumers quality services and products more efficiently. Data was collected in the Tshwane Tourism area amongst the local communities by means of questionnaires. A literature review was conducted where the general tourism trends internationally, national and in the Tshwane tourism area was examined. The literature review also identified the elements of electronic destination marketing and tourism destination. Data analysis was done by means of tables and graphs. The paper findings and recommendations present practical solutions demonstrating how technological connectivity impacts the way tourism services are marketed to the consumers. Because consumer expectations are rising rapidly, the move towards more independent and flexible holidays away from package holidays, with the emergence of a computer literate generation, requires the service providers to find new ways to present services and products to end users. Finally the paper argues that electronic connectivity offers new opportunities for information technology experimentation and service experience for the users in the travel and tourism industry.

A fully implantable artificial pancreas (AP) still represents the holy grail for diabetes treatment. The quest for efficient miniaturized implantable insulin pumps, able to accurately regulate the blood glucose profile and to keep insulin stability, is still persistent. This work describes the design and testing of a microinjection system connected to a variable volume insulin reservoir devised to favor insulin stability during storage. The design, the constitutive materials, and the related fabrication techniques were selected to favor insulin stability by avoiding—or at least limiting—hormone aggregation. We compared substrates made of nylon 6 and Teflon, provided with different surface roughness values due to the employed fabrication procedures (i.e., standard machining and spray deposition). Insulin stability was tested in a worst case condition for 14 days, and pumping system reliability and repeatability in dosing were tested over an entire reservoir emptying cycle. We found that nylon 6 guarantees a higher insulin stability than Teflon and that independent of the material used, larger roughness determines a higher amount of insulin aggregates. A dedicated rotary pump featured by a 1-μL delivery resolution was developed and connected through a proper gear mechanism to a variable volume air-tight insulin reservoir. The microinjection system was also able to operate in a reverse mode to enable the refilling of the implanted reservoir. The developed system represents a fundamental building block toward the development of a fully implantable AP and could be advantageously integrated even in different implantable drug delivery apparatus (e.g., for pain management).


In observation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization, "$EB$~leakage" refers to the artificial $B$-mode signal coming from the leakage of $E$-mode signal when part of the sky is unavailable or excluded. Correction of such leakage is one of the preconditions for detecting primordial gravitational waves via the CMB $B$-mode signal. In this work, we design two independent methods for correcting the $EB$~leakage directly in the pixel domain using standard definitions of the $E$- and $B$-modes. The two methods give consistent results, and both are fast and easy to implement. Tests on a CMB simulation containing zero initial $B$-mode show an efficient suppression of the $EB$ leakage. When combined with the MASTER method to reconstruct the full-sky $B$-mode spectrum in simulations with a relatively simple mask, the error from EB-leakage is suppressed further by more than one order of magnitude at the recombination bump, and up to three orders of magnitude at higher multipoles, compared to a "pure" MASTER scheme under the same conditions. Meanwhile, although the final power spectrum estimation benefits from apodization, the pixel domain correction itself is done without apodization, and thus the methods offer more freedom in choosing an apodization based on specific requirements.


In this brief, the designs of variable fractional Hilbert transformers (VFHTs) are presented. First, the definition and properties of FHT are briefly reviewed. Then, the fact that the frequency response of FHT with order v can be obtained from the linear combination of those of the two FHTs with different orders p and q will be shown. Based on this fact, a new VFHT structure is derived, in which the phase response of FHT can be easily changed by adjusting the linear combination coefficients without redesigning the FHT. Finally, numerical examples are demonstrated to compare the proposed method with conventional Farrow structure method in terms of design error, computational complexity, and memory storage requirements.


The Quantum Flux Parametron (QFP) is a SFQ-type logic device which uses a single flux quantum (SFQ) to represent 1-bit of information. QFP circuits use a multi-phase external ac power which also acts as the clock for synchronization, hence QFP circuits are highly pipelined. The clock frequency must be increased to improve the throughputs of the circuits, so the control of a high frequency clock is a key technology for the QFP. This paper describes a clock distribution technique which utilizes the characteristics of a standing wave. Using this technique, the operation of a 1-bit QFP shift register by a 4-phase clock up to 36 GHz is shown. In the 4-phase clock operation of QFPs, the input is given in phase 1, the QFP switches in phase 2, the output is held during phase 3, and the QFP resets in phase 4. Therefore, the 4-phase 36-GHz operation means that each QFP switches or resets in less than 7 ps.<<ETX>>


Besides standardized punctuation, which the printing press contributed to formalizing according to a logico-syntactic system, other uses may be found prior to the formation of the system and in parallel with in less cultivated or popular writing down to the compositions produced by today's teenagers in school. These uses attest the writers' awareness of semantic and intonational distinctions typical of orality. Thus several impossible positions in the system are marked by punctuation, whatever the type; this may be observed in particular in the interruption in the unity of the sentence (or subdistinctio)


The structure of a Ag3Pb4Bi11Se22 microcrystal was determined using microfocussed synchrotron radiation. Several crystals from an inhomogeneous sample were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, which revealed the unit-cell dimensions and the quarternary composition. A crystallite that was pre-characterized this way was used for the microfocus experiment. The structure of Ag3Pb4Bi11Se22 [space group C2/m, a = 13.853(3) A, b = 4.2108(8) A, c = 19.721(4) A, β = 104.57(3)°, Z = 1, R1(all) = 0.032] is similar to that of the mineral dantopaite, which belongs to the pavonite-type family. Slabs that correspond to sections of the NaCl structure type are interconnected by ribbon-like elements from the GeS (SnS) structure type.


This paper presents the basic idea of D-S theory and its improved combinational formula by several examples.D-S theory is applied to aircraft engine oil spectrom eter analysis and debris analysis.The results show that D-S theory is an effective data fusion tech nique in aircraft engine oil fault diagnosis.


According to the geometrical representation of RBF neural model,this paper proposed a new C-RBF neural networks classifier,compared with the traditional RBF neural networks,which had the ability of self-determining the number of hidden units and the centers and widths of the basis functions.Due to introducing the competitive layer,the new algorithm eliminated the computation of the linear combination of the outputs of all the RBF neurons and reduced the long training time and learning complexity.


Fits of retention data were examined from 5 conditions: 3 types of cued recall, an old-new recognition task, and a remember-know recognition task. In each condition, 100 participants had either 18 recall or 27 recognition trials at each of 10 delays between 0 and 99 intervening items, providing the first data obtained in experimental psychology that were precise enough to distinguish clearly among simple functions. None of the 105 2-parameter functions tested produced adequate fits to the data. The function y = a^e~" + a2e~ IIT2 + a3 fit each of the 5 retention conditions. The X2 parameter in this equation equaled 28 for the 3 recall conditions and the remember-know recognition condition and 13 for the old-new recognition condition. Individuals' recall data fit the same function with parameters varying with gender and scholastic aptitude scores. Reaction times support the claim that the aye'" 15 term describes working memory, and the remaining 2 terms describe long-term memory.


The drawbacks of classical centralized management systems and the proposal of distributed management to solve them have been discussed in various papers in the past. The IETF vehicle for distributed Internet manag ement is the Script MIB. Jasmin is an implementation of the Script MIB which is fr eely available for evaluation. This article presents a real life scenario of some managemen t tasks that can be solved by distributed management approaches and have bee n implemented using the Jasmin infrastructure. We do not only discuss the o bs rvation of advantages predicted by previous papers, e.g., the reduced CPU an d network load at the management station's bottleneck, but also the impracti cable circumstances of "managing the management", the development costs of the Scr ipt MIB approach, and the pitfalls of running management scripts in remote env iro ments.


A new image registration and fusion method based on Multi-Atlas was proposed in this thesis. It treats all Atlas images as a series of data nodes and clusters them through massage propagation to obtain different exemplars, then uses these exemplars to participate in the normal atlas segmentation, orders them based on the dice similar coefficient, iterate, gets the final accurate segmentation. In term of registration, three-step registration is adopted: first rigid registration, then affine registration and B spline registration. Besides, fusion strategy called Joint Label Fusion is used, which is first used for right ventricle. The method makes split operation by registration and fusion method based on Multi-Atlas image, corrects a Multi-Atlas label fusion error caused by the registration, thereby optimizes segmentation result.


Arsenite is a certainly apoptosis inducer in various cell types. However, the detailed mechanism underlying how arsenite trigger apoptosis remains elusive. In this study, using human bronchial epithelial cell as a culture system, we demonstrated that arsenite‐induced nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) resulted in the release of cytochrome c, the modulation of Fas and FasL, caspase activation, and ultimately leading to cell apoptosis. Importantly, we showed for the first time that the NF‐κB‐mediated apoptosis induced by arsenite was regulated by G protein‐adenylate cyclase (AC)‐cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)‐protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. Inhibition of this classical G protein signaling pathway by a typical PKA inhibitor, H‐89, caused the inactivation of NF‐κB, the depletion of caspase‐3, 8 and 9 activities, and thus reducing the level of cell apoptosis. Taken together, our results indicate that arsenite is able to trigger cell apoptosis in human bronchial epithelial cells through the nuclear translocation of NF‐κB, which can be modulated by G protein signaling pathway. These findings further suggest that inhibition of G protein‐mediated pathway by specific inhibitors may be a potential strategy for the prevention of arsenite toxicity. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

this study investigated the effectiveness of a training program based on psychological resilience factors represented in (personal competence, high standards, and tenacity, corresponds to trust in one's instincts, tolerance of negative affect, and strengthening effects of stress, the positive acceptance of change, and secure relationships, control, spiritual influences) in improving styles of coping problems (based on The problem and based on emotion) for a sample of (30) master's female students between 24 and 30 years who obtained low scores (the lower quadrant) on the COPE Inventory of (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989). To achieve the research objectives, the experimental method - one group design with pretest-posttest & follow up-test were used. The findings revealed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the sample in the pre - test and the mean scores in the post - test in the styles of coping the problems. while no significant differences were found between the mean scores of the sample in the post-test and their mean scores in the styles of coping problems a month after the end of the program, which supported the utility and the positive of the program.


With the tremendous growth of usage of internet and development in web applications running on various platforms are becoming the major targets of attack. New threats are create everyday by individuals and organizations that attack network systems. Intrusion is a malicious, externally induced operational fault. Intrusion is used as a key to compromise the integrity, availability and confidentiality of a computer resource. Hence intrusion detection systems (IDS) are becoming a key part of system defence, to detect anomalies and attacks in the network. Data mining based IDS can effectively identify intrusions. Average one dependence estimators (AODE) is one of the recent enhancements of naïve bayes algorithm. AODE solves the problem of independence by averaging all models generated by traditional one dependence estimator and is well suited for incremental learning. In this paper, we propose intelligent network intrusion detection system using AODE algorithm for the detection of different types of attacks. In order to evaluate the performance of our proposed system, we conducted experiments on NSL-KDD data set. Empirical results show that proposed model based on AODE is efficient with low FAR and high DR.


Beijing has a great impact on the literary creation and academic activities of both LU Xun and ZHOU Zuo-ren,the two brothers.In fact,the existence of Beijing has become a reference of them,and potentially restricted and enriched their cultural imaginations about the then rural China.If there is no life experience about Beijing,LU Xun's depiction of the countryside in his novels could not be so heavily colorful and vivid,and ZHOU Zuo-ren's sketch of the folk custom of the south of the Yangtze Rivier should have naturally lacked the contrastive tinctures.LU Xun has always had a critical attitude towards Beijing culture while ZHOU Zuo-ren gradually changed his view from critism to appreciation.Their relations to Beijing could represent the separating and merging,as well as the rise and decline,of modern Chinese culture.They shares many similar ideas and collaborated once,but also left numerous amusing stories for later generations.What they have left to Beijing is far from interesting sidelinghts in literature;rather it is cultural problems for intellectuals to self-select.


One of the most commonly used predictive models in classification is the decision tree (DT). The task of a DT is to map observations to target values. In the DT, each branch represents a rule. A rule's consequent is the leaf of the branch and its antecedent is the conjunction of the features. Most applied algorithms in this field use the concept of Information Entropy and Gini Index as the splitting criterion when building a tree. In this paper, a new splitting criterion to build DTs is proposed. A splitting criterion specifies the tree's best splitting variable as well as the variable's threshold for further splitting. Using the idea from classical Forward Selection method and its enhanced versions, the variable having the largest absolute correlation with the target value is chosen as the best splitting variable at each node. Then, the idea of maximizing the margin between classes in a support vector machine (SVM) is used to find the best classification threshold on the selected variable. This procedure will execute recursively at each node, until reaching the leaf nodes. The final decision tree has a shorter height than previous methods, which effectively reduces useless variables and the time needed for classification of future data. Unclassified regions are also generated under the proposed method, which can be interpreted as an advantage or disadvantage. The simulation results demonstrate an improvement in the generated decision tree compared to previous methods.


Using potential models we analyze range corrections to the universal law dictated by the Efimov theory of three bosons. In the case of finite-range interactions we have observed that, at first order, it is necessary to supplement the theory with one finite-range parameter, $\Gamma_n^3$, for each specific $n$-level [Kievsky and Gattobigio, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 87}, 052719 (2013)]. The value of $\Gamma_n^3$ depends on the way the potentials is changed to tune the scattering length toward the unitary limit. In this work we analyze a particular path in which the length $r_B=a-a_B$, measuring the difference between the two-body scattering length $a$ and the energy scattering length $a_B$, results almost constant. Analyzing systems with very different scales, as atomic or nuclear systems, we observe that the finite-range parameter remains almost constant along the path with a numerical value of $\Gamma_0^3\approx 0.87$ for the ground state level. This observation suggests the possibility of constructing a single universal function that incorporate finite-range effects for this class of paths. The result is used to estimate the three-body parameter $\kappa_*$ in the case of real atomic systems brought to the unitary limit thought a broad Feshbach resonances. Furthermore, we show that the finite-range parameter can be put in relation with the two-body contact $C_2$ at the unitary limit.


Air cushion vehicle (ACV) is a type of high performance watercraft. ACV can be propelled forward over the water, the ground and swale. It is widely used in both the civilian and military. Its operation is very different from general ships because of the structural particularity. We designed PID controller and neural net (NN) controller used for ACV heading control. Simulation results show that NN controller performs better than normal PID controller in heading control of ACV, especially when ACV is disturbed by wind.


In the aftermath of the Iraq crisis, the North Atlantic Alliance faced its most serious predicament since the ColdWar. Its mission in Afghanistan revealed growing discrepancies between the member states. The Georgian crisis of 2008, the missile defence project and the enlargement showed a lack of coherence. NATO has split up into two or more factions. A crucial question arose as to NATO's ability to resolve the three main strategic dilemmas which have grown more pressing since the end of the ColdWar: (1) the choice between collective defence as the key role of NATO (Art. 5) and its out-of-area role of combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and international terrorism; (2) the choice between the transatlantic nature of NATO and its global partnerships; (3) the choice between the concept of the global military engagement of NATO and the so called comprehensive approach involving the cooperation of NATO with other security organizations such as the UN, the EU and the OSCE in reconstructing post-conflict regions. NATO's performance in managing these challenges will bear critically on its future. The Strategic Concept from Lisbon 2010 has helped to clarify many controversial issues within the organization. NATO has managed to mitigate the risk of developing into a multi-tier organization. Relations between the factions have relaxed although interests appear to remain as diverse as they were before.


Zero is philosophically and symbolically interpreted differently from other numbers throughout the history, and is at the basis of mathematics although it is denounced as it represents nothing. In the current study, the understanding of zero of the students with learning disabilities (LD) and non-learning disabilities (NLD) were investigated. It is a multiple case study based on qualitative design. The participants of the study were six students, 3 students with LD and 3 with NLD, aged between 10-12 years. In the data collection that is conducted through clinical interviews, the meaning of zero as a number, its meaning of nothing, cardinality of an empty set, and its use as a symbol (place value-placeholder-digit) were examined. According to the findings that were obtained through content analysis method, it was observed that the conceptualizations of the students with LD and NLD regarding zero show similarities only in their use of the knowledge about symbolic contexts. The results were discussed considering the similarities and differences in the conceptions of the students with LD and NLD.


PURPOSE: Ample studies have documented that working memory (WM) load has a comprehensive influence on selective attention in perception. Moreover, the influence of WM on selective attention is modulated by the type of WM subsystem, by revealing opposite modulation by central executive and visual WM. However,  no study so far has examined the influence of WM load of binding on selective attention. Moreover, there are two opposite views as to this issue: On the one hand, an independent episodic buffer is suggested to be in charge of binding with the attention from of central executive, suggesting that binding load will functions as a type of central executive; on the other hand, recent studies revealed that object-based attention plays a key role in both visual WM and binding representation in WM, implying that binding load will serve as a type of visual WM load. To this end, we examined the influence of WM load of binding on selective attention by requiring the participants to memorize two or five bindings in WM.
 METHODS: Critically, a low load perceptual task was interpolated in the maintenance phase of WM. The low load perceptual task contained either a low-priority target or was an response competition task.
 RESULTS: In three experiments, we found that high WM load of binding led to reduced detection of low-priority target (Experiments 1-2), and less interference from the distractor in the response competition task (Experiment 3).
 CONCLUSION: These results suggest that WM load of binding is similar to visual WM load, serving as a type of perceptual load and hence competing resources with the perceptual task.


The lower the hepatotoxic potential of modern inhalation anaesthetics, the lower their degree of metabolism. Thus, in contrast to halothane, little hepatotoxicity, or none at all, is expected from the clinical use of isoflurane, desflurane, N2O and xenon. Despite the fact that N2O inhibits methionine synthase, clinically significant bone marrow failure is a rare side effect even after long N2O exposure.


A system for 3-D reconstruction, analysis, simulation and dynamic animation of the heart and the coronary arteries is reported. Using magnetic resonance cross-sectional or ultrasonic and angiographic long-axis imagers of the heart, the endocardial and epicardial contours are traced, interpolated and reconstructed in 3-D. The coronary tree is then superimposed on the 3-D shape using anatomical markers. Graphical capabilities include real-time animation, utilizing wire-frame, solid shading, semitransparent shading and different viewing angles. Simulation of geometrical deformations caused by variations in the arterial flow is achieved by defining the risk area of each coronary vessel, the flow-thickening relationship function and the actual relative flow in the simulated stenosed vessel and using these to simulate local ischemia by varying the dynamic 3-D shape of a normal heart. Assessment of local myocardial function is achieved by calculating local parameters such as thickening or wall motion.<<ETX>>

Though Twitter acts as a realtime news source with people acting as sensors and sending event updates from all over the world, rumors spread via Twitter have been noted to cause considerable damage. Given a set of popular Twitter events along with related users and tweets, we study the problem of automatically assessing the credibility of such events. We propose a credibility analysis approach enhanced with event graph-based optimization to solve the problem. First we experiment by performing PageRanklike credibility propagation on a multi-typed network consisting of events, tweets, and users. Further, within each iteration, we enhance the basic trust analysis by updating event credibility scores using regularization on a new graph of events. Our experiments using events extracted from two tweet feed datasets, each with millions of tweets show that our event graph optimization approach outperforms the basic credibility analysis approach. Also, our methods are significantly more accurate (∼86%) than the decision tree classifier approach (∼72%).


Central banks and the financial sector are now playing their parts in promoting sustainability. We propose a sustainability-linked Taylor rule (SLTR) via which the financing costs of entrepreneurs vary counter-cyclicly with environmental conditions. Our simulation results show that the SLTR fulfills the dual mandate of welfare maximization and sustainability.


This study aims at examining the Hausa speakers' production of English monophthong vowels from the acoustic point of view. The study focuses on native Hausa speakers of Northern Nigeria. Hausa language has 10 monophthong vowels, while English has 14 monophthong vowels; this shows clearly that there may be a disparity between English and Hausa in terms of vowels and sounds inventory. There are perceived differences between how the native speakers of English produce some of their monophthong vowels and how the Hausa speakers produce those same monophthongs. These differences may be because of vowel quality, duration, rhythm and accent of the speakers. It is not well understood how systematically the vowels of NigE are. Research on the acoustic measurements of NigE vowels is at dearth. In order to examine the vowels in NigE, monosyllabic words with CVC structure of the eleven (11) monophthong sounds in ‗hVd' and 'bVd' contexts were produced by ten (10) NigE. As a comparison, the pronunciation of English monophthongs was also done on 10 speakers, Malays speakers of English, 5 males and 5 females. Their age ranged from 24 to 40 years old. The recorded data were analyzed using PRAAT version 5.3.81 (Boersma and Weenik, 2014) phonetic software for instrumental analysis to measure the quality and quantity of vowels and the extent to which these vowels were phonetically contrasted between typically paired vowels. The findings from this study reveal that in both contexts, the vowels were produced almost similarly. However, in terms of vowel length contrast, all the vowels were differentiated between long and short, but lack of contrast is more apparent in vowel quality between the /ɪ/ - /iː/, /ᴧ/ - /ɑː/ and /ɒ/ - /ɔː/ vowel pairs.


My attention was directed last Christmas to the cellar of the King's Head, in Moscow Road, Bayswater. Some enlargement of the premises was required, and the base of the cellar was to be lowered. About, a couple of feet beneath the old floor, the workmen came upon a block of stone, which resisted all their efforts to dislodge it: and no wonder! The stone proved to be a huge Greywether, of irregular quadrangular form, measuring 9 ft. 6 in. in length and also in breadth, and as much as 2 ft. 8 in. (possibly more) in thickness. A portion of one side appeared to be a joint-plane; otherwise the mass exhibited the ordinary contours of a concretionary block of sandstone. The rock itself was purely siliceous, and presented the familiar saccharoid aspect of a Wiltshire Greywether. Clean sand was found here and there in hollows on the surface of the stone, tending to prove that it had never been disturbed by human agency. It had evidently found a natural resting-place in the basement-portion of the Thames valley-gravel, close upon its junction with the London Clay ; the lowest bed reached in the cellar being "stiff loam." These facts I was enabled to observe under the guidance of Mr. B. J. Capell (architect and surveyor).


To examine differences at baseline between children with ADHD and/or LD vs. children with neither ADHD/LD on 1) neurocognitive scores and 2) child- and parent-reported concussion symptoms.

 Retrospective data was obtained for 1856 children ages 5–11 who were assessed at baseline using ImPACT Pediatric. Groups were determined based on parent-reported diagnosis of their child at baseline (ADHD and/or LD vs. neither ADHD/LD), and groups were compared on the four factor scores: Sequential Memory, Word Memory, Visual Memory, and Rapid Processing and on child- and parent-reported concussion symptoms using a series of ANOVAs.

 ANOVAs revealed that children with ADHD and/or LD performed significantly worse than children without ADHD/LD on Sequential Memory (F(1,1845) = 69.86, p < .001)) and Word Memory (F(1,1853) = 10.36, p = .001)). In contrast, children with ADHD and/or LD performed significantly better on the neurocognitive measures of Visual Memory [(F(1,1845) = 4.94, p = .026)] and Rapid Processing [(F(1,1853) = 20.35, p < .001). Symptom reporting was significantly greater in the ADHD and/or LD group for both child (F(1,1853) = 30.21, p < .001) and parent (F(1,1853) = 34.64, p < .001) reported symptoms.

 The current study demonstrated differences at baseline in children on neurocognitive performance and concussion symptom reporting based on diagnostic group. Analysis of symptom reporting suggested that children with pre-existing diagnoses of ADHD and/or LD and their parents may report concussion-like symptoms at baseline, prior to ever experiencing a concussion. This finding has clinical implications for interpretation of post-concussion symptoms without a baseline comparison in children with pre-existing diagnoses such as ADHD and/or LD.


We inquire further into the properties on fuzzy closed ideals. We give a char- acterization of a fuzzy closed ideal using its level set, and establish some conditions for a fuzzy set to be a fuzzy closed ideal. We describe the fuzzy closed ideal generated by a fuzzy set, and give a characterization of a finite-valued fuzzy closed ideal. Using a t-norm T , we introduce the notion of (imaginable) T -fuzzy subalgebras and (imaginable) T -fuzzy closed ideals, and obtain some related results. We give relations between an imaginable T -fuzzy subalgebra and an imaginable T -fuzzy closed ideal. We discuss the direct product and T -product of T -fuzzy subalgebras. We show that the family of T -fuzzy closed ideals is a completely distributive lattice.


In Kalman filtering, a novel approach is presented to replace a part of the Kalman gain calculations with a neural network. The proposed algorithm avoids matrix inversion in the Kalman filter, hence eliminating the problems encountered.


The Real Politics of the Horn of Africa offers an in-depth examination of the region, understandings its politics as a 'marketplace' in which the currency is both money and violence, underpinned by oil exports, aid funds and western military assistance. Alex de Waal draws upon his vast, encyclopaedic knowledge of the region in a powerful book that leaves one less than optimistic about the future of the Horn, writes Duncan Green.


Deregulation of the electricity industry throughout the world aims at creating a competitive market to trade electricity, which generates a host of new technical challenges to market participants and power system researchers. The benefits of deregulate market are cheaper electricity, efficient capacity expansion planning, cost minimization, more choice and better services. For better transmission services support and full utilization of transmission assets, one of the major challenges is to accurately gauge the transfer capability remaining in the system for further transactions, which is termed Available Transfer Capability (ATC). It is crucial to develop an appropriate ATC determination methodology that enables one to evaluate the realistic transmission transfer capability by accounting for all related important requirements. The insertion of FACTS devices in electrical systems seems to be a promising strategy to enhance ATC. In this thesis, the ATC is calculated using AC Power Transfer Distribution Factors (ACPTDF) method. Then the calculated ATC is enhanced by incorporating Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC).Real Coded Particle Swarm Optimization technique (PSO) is employed to obtain the optimal settings of IPFC. The work has been carried out on IEEE 30 bus systems in MATLAB 7.10.0 for bilateral transaction and the results obtained are quite encouraging.


The research article analyzes the VO2Max level of Karate athletes. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of independent training carried out by athletes due to the covid-19 pandemic on the athlete's physical status. The method used in this research is a quantitative descriptive method which is conducted as a total sampling of the Gorontalo Province PPLP Karate athletes in the January-December 2020 period of 6 female athletes and 7 male athletes. The findings of the study prove that there was a decrease in the average VO2Max of female athletes by 23% and male athletes by 18%. The application of various forms of training at this stage should be carried out under strict control by the trainer, so that the athlete in carrying out the training program is truly monitored directly and each athlete is serious in carrying it out.


The potential of ERP systems cannot be fully realized unless adopting firms make a concerted effort of assimilating the ERP technology into every aspect of their business processes. Yet few studies provide understanding of why ERP assimilates more extensively in certain organizations as against others (post-adoption). Based on the extant literature, we propose a model which can be employed to explain the extent of ERP assimilation. The model incorporates top management championship, compatibility, institutional influence, and absorptive capacity factors. This paper describes the model development, the model testing, and some preliminary results.


This research is an exploratory experiment into sulfur concrete used not as a complete replacement of cement but as an additional material in percentage of the cement content. The aim of this research was to explore the possible appreciation of mechanical and physical properties of concrete containing sulfur with percentages of 1%, 5% and 10% of the cement content. The sulfur used here was not heat-activated, hence the binding effect in sulfur was absent. The experimental results revealed that concrete containing sulfur did not perform better in their strength properties, both compressive strength and flexural strength. The physical properties such as water penetration and water absorption for concrete containing sulfur also showed poor performance in comparison to ordinary Portland cement concrete. Such phenomena are very likely due to the sulfur not being activated by heat. Carbonation test did not show good results as a longer term of testing is required. Drying shrinkage property was found to be encouraging in that concrete containing 10% sulfur had quite significant reduction in drying shrinkage as opposed to ordinary Portland cement concrete.


Abstract. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short, non-coding regulatory RNAs, which are approximately 22 nucleotides in length. Typically, miRNAs negatively regulate gene expression by binding with the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of its regulatory target mRNAs. MicroRNAs are known to play diverse roles in fundamental biological processes, such as proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis (Bartel 2004, 2009). It has been reported that miR-1, miR-133, miR-181 and miR-206 play important roles in skeletal muscle proliferation and hypertrophy (Callis et al. 2007, McCarthy -Esser 2007). We have detected porcine miRNA expression profiles during different stage of skeletal muscle development and a total of 140 miRNAs were differentially expressed (HUANG et al. 2008). In this study, we mapped five differentially expressed miRNAs ( mir-29c, mir-103-1, mir-127, mir-193b and mir-218-1 ) using the radiation hybrid (IMpRH) panel (YERLE et al. 1998).


Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are members of a family of zinc-containing proteinases. Because the catalytic ability of MMPs needs to be activated by metal ions, and because they could catalyze and degrade tissue structure maintaining extracellular matrix protein (ECM), including ground substances and connecting fibers, they are named matrix metalloproteinase. Thus, it plays an important role in tissue structure remodeling, repairing and destroys. According to previous experiments, we found that histone deacetylase inhibitor II (HDI II) and the derivatives of caffeic acid: VC-1 showed obviously inhibitory effect on MMPs activation. We observed that HDI II and VC-1 concentration-dependently inhibit MMP-9 activation induced by TNF-? and IL-1? significantly in Zymography method. Also, we found that the inhibitory effect of HDI II and VC-1 was not due to impairment of cellular viability by MTT tests. According to Western blot method, we found that the inhibition on expression of MMP-9 protein is concentration-dependently by HDI II and VC-1 in various stimulations. This indicated that these two compounds have effect on the protein expression of MMP-9. By using RT-PCR method, we found that HDI II and VC-1 can inhibit the expression of MMP-9 mRNA, thus have deeper influence on the level of MMP-9 transcription. At the same time, we investigated the mechanism of action of HDI II and VC-1 in various signaling pathways. We found that they could significantly inhibit the degradation of inhibitor-?B-? (I?B-?) induced by TNF-? and IL-1?. Therefore nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) may not translocate for transcription. Simultaneously, from extracted nuclear protein, evidence showed HDI II and VC-1 inhibit the expression of NF-?B. Furthermore, in mitogen-activate protein kinases (MAPKs) aspect, HDI II and VC-1 did not show direct influence on phosphorylated activation of extracellualr signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) and c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinases (JNK) activation. Besides, the results of flow cytometry showed that HDI II and VC-1 did not inhibit the expression of surface protein, CD11b, on THP-1 cells. In summary, we found that HDI II and VC-1 have inhibitory effect on MMP-9 expression, and its main mechanism of action might through NF-?B signal pathway on TNF-? and IL-1? stimulation. It will be interesting to further investigate its anti-inflammatory therapeutic profile via related experiments and animal model in vivo.


AIM:To compare the mutant prevention concentration(MPC)of linezolid and vancomycin against methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and study the correlation between minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)and MPC.METHODS:MICs and MPCs of two drugs against 35 MRSA clinical stains were determined by agar plates dilution method.The correlations between MIC and MPC were determined by linear regression.The ability to restrict the resistance was evaluated according the pharmacokinetics of two drugs.RESULTS:The MPCs of two drugs against MRSA were 16 and 8 μg/mL and the MPC/MIC was 8.MPCs and MICs correlated poorly(R2 were 0.32 and 0.008,respectively).According to pharmacokinetics of two drugs,the concentration of linezolid was inside the MSW(mutant selective window)for the entire dosage interval,while the concentration of vancomycin exceeded the MPC for the most dosage interval.CONCLUSION:The capacity of vancomycin for restricting the selection of MRSA resistant mutants is stronger than that of linezolid.There is low correlation between MPC and MIC.


Addiction is commonly defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by taking drugs in excess, compulsive drug seeking, and continued use despite harmful consequences. A key unanswered question for addiction research remains why moderate levels of drug consumption escalate to problematic patterns associated with high motivation and a compulsive-like pattern of drug use in some individuals, but not others, and how sex may affect this trajectory. However, most studies to date have had low statistical power due to low sample size and used animal models with limited genetic diversity and limited access to the drug that are often not associated with significant levels of intoxication or dependence, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions and translate the results to human. Here we characterized addiction-like behaviors in >500 outbred heterogeneous stock (HS) rats using extended access to cocaine self-administration (6h/daily) and analyzed individual differences in escalation of intake, progressive-ratio (PR) responding, continued use despite adverse consequences (contingent foot shocks), and irritability-like behavior during withdrawal. Principal component analysis showed that escalation of intake, progressive ratio responding, and continued use despite adverse consequence loaded onto a single factor that was orthogonal to irritability-like behaviors. Characterization of rats in four categories of resilient, mild, moderate, and severe addiction-like phenotypes showed that females showed higher addiction-like behaviors, particularly due to a lower number of resilient individuals. These results demonstrate that escalation of intake, continued use despite adverse consequence, and progressive ratio responding are highly correlated measures of the same psychological construct when tested in heterogeneous rats with a history of extended access to the drug, and suggest that a significant proportion of males, but not females may be resilient to addiction-like behaviors.

Objective To explore the relation between love trust,job state and subjective well-being of youth and to provide the reference for improving youth's subjective well-being level.Method 85 youth who were either university students or youth that had graduated just several years aged between 21 to 28 were tested with the Diener's Life Satisfaction Scales,Bradhurn's Affect Scales and Love Trust Scales.Results The satisfaction of current life was generally at a low level.The satisfaction of life were significantly lower among males than females(P0.01),males who already had job and not in loved had the lowest satisfaction;the highest satisfaction was found among females who had job and in loved.Youths that already had boy friends or girl friends had a significantly higher trust of love than those singles(P0.01).Conclusion The subjective well-being was correlated with the level of love trust and the state of whether or not has a job.


Key of Merleau - Ponty' s theory of intersubjectivity is the interpretation of others' theory of existence, which is closely related to his own phenomenology and his understanding of the essence. His phenomenology is rich in profound materialism and dialectics on which he establishes the importance of the theory of intersubjectivity and criticizes various subjective philosophies. However, he doesn' t carry out a deep or detailed study of subjectivity or intersubjectivity but keeps the general conclusions in principle, which results from his lack of detailed analysis of man' s social practice and life.
