Abstract Background  Burnout syndrome is recognized as a global issue, and as medical practice is stressful, healthcare workers are found to be burnt out and exhausted very soon, which is reflected negatively on the medical staff well-being, patients' outcome, and the overall organizational performance. Aim  This study is planned to assess the magnitude of burnout among physicians in Benghazi-Libya. Methods  This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2020 on a total of 150 physicians working at different departments of internal medicine in Benghazi-Libya. The Maslach Burnout Inventory collection instrument was used to assess the three components of burnout syndrome: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. High scores in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and low scores in personal accomplishment are indicative of high burnout. The statistical analyses of the data were performed using the SPSS version 21. The level of statistical significance was considered as p -value less than 0.05. Results  60% of the respondents were females and 40% were males. About 14.7% had high emotional exhaustion, 92% had high depersonalization, and 87.3% had low personal accomplishment scores. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between gender and burnout. Alternatively, a significant association was found between degree certificate and emotional exhaustion, as moderate- and high-level burnout were more prevalent among MBCHB participants than those with masters and board degrees. No association was found between degree certificate and depersonalization or personal accomplishment. Conclusion  Burnout is prevalent among internal medicine doctors in Benghazi, with the newly graduated medical personnel scoring higher rates of burnout than doctors with higher degrees. No relationship was found between gender and burnout.


In current days, 5G is more essential for the Internet of Things (IoT) systems, since it offers a quicker network with more capacity to address communication needs. The frequency range that mobile communication technologies employ to transfer data is expanded by the 5G spectrum. However, it also broadens the presence of attacks within the core network, increasing the corporate system's susceptibility to security intrusions. Hence, various Intrusion Detection System (IDS) frameworks are developed in the conventional works for 5G-IoT network security. However, the significant challenges of the existing studies are complexity burden, high processing time, and ineffective intrusion detection. Therefore, the proposed work intends to implement a novel Avant-Garde African Vulture Optimization (A2VO), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) – Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) mechanism of 5G-IoT security. The min-max normalization technique is used to preprocess the attributes and fields in the dataset. In addition, a precise and effective deep Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) - Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) based classification algorithm is used to categorize normal and attacking data with high accuracy and low complication. The most significant features from the normalized dataset are chosen for classification using the Avant-Garde African Vulture Optimization (A2VO) method. For demonstrating the superiority of the suggested security model, the performance results are verified and compared using several benchmarking datasets.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of spinal-epidural anesthesia in elderly patients with hip replacement.Methods:A total of 30 elderly patients were treatmented by hip replacement and spinal-epidural anesthesia during January 2009 to April 2011.The anesthetic block effect,initial block time,duration of operation,the volume of local anesthesiology,systolic and diastolic blood pressure,heart rate,respiratory rate,oxygen saturation were recorded after anesthesia injection 1 min,10min,30min respectively.Meantime,motor blockade(Bromage's score,BMS)and postoperative pain(VAS score) were recorded to evaluation anesthetic effect.Results:30 patients were successful finish the surgery,the average onset time of anesthesia was(80±19)seconds,the block range from T10 to S5.Systolic and diastolic blood pressure has dropped after anesthesia 10min,the difference was statistically significant(P0.05),The oxygen saturation was above ninety-five percent after anesthesia.BMS and VAS scores were(3.5±0.5)points,(15±6)minutes.Conclusion:The combined spinal-epidural anesthesia has small effect on Hemodynamic,safe for the elderly patients therapy by hip arthroplasty anesthesia.


We investigate the electromagnetic radiation of a bunch moving along a corrugated conductive surface. It is assumed that the wavelengths under consideration are much greater than the period of the corrugation. In this case, the corrugated structure can be replaced with a smooth surface on which so-called equivalent boundary conditions (EBC) are fulfilled. Here, we consider the case of deep corrugation, i.e. we assume that the depth of the structure is much greater than its period. Using the EBC we obtain electromagnetic field components in the form of spectral integrals and calculate them numerically. It is shown that the bunch generates surface waves propagating in the plane of the structure, whereas volume radiation is absent at the frequencies under consideration. It is demonstrated that the features of the surface wave can be used for determining the size and the form of the bunch. We also consider the energy of the surface waves. Typical dependences of the energy on corrugation parameters are obtained and analyzed.


We propose a novel weakly-supervised semantic segmentation algorithm based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). Contrary to existing weakly-supervised approaches, our algorithm exploits auxiliary segmentation annotations available for different categories to guide segmentations on images with only image-level class labels. To make segmentation knowledge transferrable across categories, we design a decoupled encoder-decoder architecture with attention model. In this architecture, the model generates spatial highlights of each category presented in images using an attention model, and subsequently performs binary segmentation for each highlighted region using decoder. Combining attention model, the decoder trained with segmentation annotations in different categories boosts accuracy of weakly-supervised semantic segmentation. The proposed algorithm demonstrates substantially improved performance compared to the state-of-theart weakly-supervised techniques in PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset when our model is trained with the annotations in 60 exclusive categories in Microsoft COCO dataset.

A neutron component is practically inevitable in baryonic fireballs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). At late stages of the explosion, the neutrons fully decouple from the ion ejecta and coast freely. The presence of the neutron ejecta qualitatively changes the mechanism of the GRB afterglow. The neutrons lead the decelerating blast wave and gradually decay, leaving behind a trail of the decay products mixed with the ambient medium. The kinetic energy of the decay products far exceeds the medium rest energy, and the trail has a Lorentz factor γ ≫ 1 at radii up to 10 cm. The ion ejecta decelerate behind as they sweep up the neutron trail and drive a shock wave into it. The afterglow is emitted by the preshock and postshock parts of the neutron trail. The neutron-fed afterglow can re-brighten at an observed time of tens of days. Subject headings: Cosmology: miscellaneous — gamma-rays: bursts — radiation mechanisms: nonthermal — shock waves


Magnetization measurements in the low frequency ac magnetic field for untwisted in situ prepared superconducting Cu-Nb composites are presented. Wires with various degrees of drawing deformation were examined. Penetration depth in the low field region increases with the deformation of the sample. Behavior of the magnetization curves is analyzed on the basis of a simple critical state model allowing for the suppression of screening currents in high magnetic fields. Agreement of the model with the experimental data is discussed.

OBJECTIVE
To examine T cell clonotypes infiltrating into arthritic joints and to investigate whether human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) env-pX gene products act as autoantigens in HTLV-I env-pX transgenic mice.

METHODS
Complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding the V-D-J (third complementarity-determining region [CDR3]) region of T cell receptor beta chain was amplified by Vbeta family polymerase chain reaction. T cell clonotypes were detected by a single-strand conformational polymorphism method, and sequence analysis of the CDR3 region was performed.

RESULTS
Distinct oligoclonal T cell expansion was observed in arthritic joints, and a conserved amino acid motif in the CDR3 region was found in T cells infiltrating joints. Moreover, several intraarticular T cells recognized HTLV-I Env and Tax proteins.

CONCLUSION
Our results suggest that HTLV-I Env and Tax proteins act as autoantigens that are recognized by autoreactive T cells in inflamed arthritic lesions in the HTLV-I env-pX transgenic mouse. Thus, some T cells infiltrating the joint recognize Env or Tax protein. These cells may trigger chronic arthritis in HTLV-I env-pX transgenic mice.


With longitudinally polarized protons at RHIC, even a 1 month dedicated run utilizing both approved major detectors could produce a significant search for new physics in hadron collisions via parity violation. Additionally, in the energy range of RHIC, large ``conventional`` parity violating effects are predicted due to the direct production of the weak bosons W{sup {plus_minus}} and Z{sup 0}. One can even envision measurements of the spin dependent sea-quark structure functions of nucleons using the single-spin parity violating asymmetry of W{sup {plus_minus}} and Z{sup 0}.


WREN C. (1988) Closure rates among assisted and non-assisted establishments, Reg. Studies 22, 107–119. Few studies of plant closure have specifically explored the relationship between the receipt of financial assistance and establishment survival. In this paper, the survival of establishments receiving assistance from three sources—Regional Development Grant, Regional Selective Assistance and local authority assistance schemes—are compared with that of non-assisted establishments. The examination is carried out in a sub-region of the North East of England for the period 1974–87. The results show that financial assistance has an effect on establishment survival, but that this varies with both the source of the assistance and the size of the assisted establishment. The results suggest that, overall, closure rates for RDG and local authority assisted establishments are significantly lower from that of non-assisted establishments, but that this is not the case for establishments assisted by RSA.

Major J. A. BOYCOTT, Royal Army Medical Oorps. [Receivfd May 5; 1946.] THE state of affairs described in this paper came to light during the investigation of a small outbreak of infection with Shigella sonnei in an infantry battalion. Enquiry into the recent medical history of the unit showed that diarrhcea had been a remarkably frequent cause of temporary disability for several months. No cause for this was discovered and comparison with other units revealed striking differences in this respect. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the incidence of diarrhcea and to attempt to suggest some reasons for the variations in incidence. .


Depressive disorders have only recently been recognized in the young. The implications of this are that research in the areas of epidemiology, nosology, natural history, comorbidity, and treatment lags behind studies in adults. This clearly affects clinical work, particularly as clinicians look to well-designed studies for guidance and confirmation in the application of their skills based on experience. The reasons for this delay in the scientific study of childhood depression are manifold and are rooted in the historical evolution of theories of depression. This presentation traces the line of development of depressive theories and concludes with what is currently known about depression in children and adolescents.


Single shot, high power, high energy pulsed electrical sources have been investigated over the years. Research has encompassed high energy/high power devices such as magnetic flux compression generators (MCG), as well as high power but lower energy devices like Ferroelectric generators (FEG) and ferromagnetic generators (FMG). In this paper, we will discuss recent experiments aimed at producing a pulsed electrical system consisting of a FEG, resonant energy transfer element, high speed switching, a Vector Inversion Generator (VIG) configurable as an oscillator, and a means to combine them into an efficient system that delivers maximum energy to a load at voltages in excess of 100 kV. In its final embodiment, the pulse generator will be on the order of 1.5 inches in diameter and approximately 8 inches long and capable of delivering a fast high voltage pulse (∼ 9ns rise time, 200 kV) at energy levels of "joules" to the load. In this paper, we will describe recent experiments to develop resonant energy transfer from the FEG to the VIG at high efficiency, the development of explosive/dielectric switching at kilovolt levels, and the explosive testing of prototype FEG/VIG configurations that constitute laboratory prototypes sufficient for modeling and simulation. In addition preliminary data showing high frequency oscillation for the FEG/VIG configured as an oscillator will be presented and analyzed in terms of possible antenna configurations and breakdown issues.


In November 1996 we published an article in the journal Policy Options criticizing the incorporation of aboriginal peoples' "traditional knowledge" (often referred to as TK) into the environmental assessment process. Traditional knowledge had been defined as "knowledge and values which have been acquired through experience, observation, from the land or from spiritual teachings, and handed down from one generation to another". In the Northwest Territories, traditional knowledge was being recognized as a "valid and essential source of information" by governments, and it was being used in a number of policy areas, including the environmental assessment of a proposed diamond mine.


This Hindi-English dictionary, edited by the author of a very influential work on Hindi grammar, fulfills a long-standing need in Hindi lexicography. McGregor points out in the preface that most of the work done in the last century in this field tended to emphasize the Urdu aspect of the language. The best dictionaries were arranged in a manner designed to facilitate a user reading Urdu. Valuable Hindi dictionaries appeared in the first half of this century, but they have not been able to keep pace with the rapid development in the language. In recent years Hindi has emerged as a pan-Indian language. The debate whether languages such as Braj, Avadhi, and Bhojpuri are " dialects " of Hindi or " sister languages " has not been settled, and probably will not be for a long time to come; however, words from these languages have come to find a place in the Hindi lexicon. A student of Hindi will have to deal with literature in these languages sooner or later. A good Hindi dictionary could reasonably be expected not only to cover Urdu vocabulary, but also words from Braj, Avadhi, and Southern Hindi, and even words heard commonly in the extremities of the Hindi-speaking heart-land, in Punjab, Rajasthani, and Bihar. While much of this non-standard Hindi vocabulary is generously dealt with, the coverage of grammatical function words from these sources is rather insufficient. The Punjabi haur (and), the Eastern Hindi kInna (to buy), and the Braj bhayau (became) are all listed as are the standard Hindi aur, kharIdna, and huA. But the Rajasthani mhAro (my) and the Braj ajhum (yet, still) are surprisingly absent, while the decidedly less common Persian hanoz (yet, still) is listed. Indian languages invariably use both tatsama (unmodified Sanskrit words) and tadbhava (modified words derived from Sanskrit). Thus, the Sanskrit word mantra and its tadbhava mantar are both in use. Both words, and many other such pairs, are listed. Tadbhava words also contribute significantly to regional variations in Hindi, and the dictionary captures all these diversities admirably. Complex words formed on the basis of Hindi etymology often compete with more classical Sanskrit words. In such cases, both forms have been listed, as in the case of the nouns caturAI (Hindi) and caturtA (Sanskrit), formed from the adjective catur (cunning). The dictionary has profited from the fact that " by the time the work was nearing completion, production …


Mobile robots have developed rapidly in recent years, among which the wall-climbing robot has become one of the hot spots in the development of robotics due to the particularity of its operating environment.

Background: The optimal dose of palliative radiotherapy (RT) in
symptomatic advanced lung cancer is unclear. Patients and methods: Patients
with advanced NSCLC who were indicated for thoracic palliative RT with age up to 65 y and Performance Status (PS) 0 - 2 and no
significant cardiac or lung co-morbidities were randomized into two fractionation arms: arm A: 30 Gy/10 over
2 weeks and arm B: 27 Gy/6 over 3 weeks (2 fractions per week) using 2
anterior posterior (AP-PA)
fields in both arms. Primary
end points were symptomatic and radiological tumor response, respiratory functions assessment.
Secondary end point was toxicity. Results: From December 2014 to October 2015, 40 patients were
randomized, 20
patients in each arm. There was statistically insignificant higher symptomatic
improvement in arm B. Four weeks after treatment, 12 out of 40 patients (30%),
6 patients in each arm, had radiological Partial Response (PR) of the primary
thoracic lesion without significant difference between the two arms. There was
a tendency for improvement in the post treatment mean Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory
Volume in one second (FEV1) in each arm without statistical significance. There
were no reported skin reactions or
esophagitis in both
arms up to 4 weeks after treatment. Eleven out of the 40 patients (27.5%), 6 in
arm B and 5 in arm A, had radiological signs of radiation pneumonitis without
significant difference between both arms. Conclusion: The two RT fractionation
schedules showed equal efficacy in terms of symptoms relief, radiological response
of the primary thoracic tumor, respiratory functions and toxicity. Thus the 27 Gy/6 fractionation arm appears preferable compared
to 30 Gy/10 arm
to minimize the patients' visits
and load on the machines.


The internet of things is called the third wave after the computer and the internet in the world information industry. The internet of things technology application in the environmental protection industry is mainly based on the application of wireless sensor network in the water and atmospheric environment monitoring. Many relevant data are collected through placing numerous sensors in the monitoring region, and are transmitted to the router through the Zigbee wireless network. After the data are analyzed, processed and sent to the remote monitoring center. The water and atmosphere of real-time online monitoring are achieved, which makes up the inadequacy of traditional manual monitoring. Therefore, the application of the Internet of things technology in the field of environmental protection has become one of the key directions in the work of environmental protection in recent years. The paper reviewes on application of internet of things technology in environmental protection industry to clarify the main development direction of network application period of the current and future period of environmental protection material.


Abstract This research explores perfectionism and Dabrowski's overexcitabilities with a view to discovering the correlation if any, between these constructs. The literature review established there was no prior empirical research to establish such a link. A sample of 98 teenage student volunteers (71 gifted, 27 non-gifted) answered self-scoring questionnaires on perfectionism and overexcitabilities behaviours. There was a definite correlation between perfectionism and overexcitabilities, especially intellectual, imaginational and emotional and sensual overexcitabilities. A phenomenon was discovered with a small, unique group of high-level perfectionists with multiple high overexcitabilities. Although not statistically significant because of group size, further research may provide statistical evidence that individuals scoring highly in perfectionism will most likely be gifted, have at least a 50% chance of being highly-gifted and score highly in at least 4 or 5 overexcitabilities. This phenomenon gave rise to a new theory, which will need to be tested: the Formula for High Level Perfectionism.


The documentation of rust fungi in tropical Africa is very incomplete. For West Africa, 332 species of rust fungi (Pucciniales, Basidiomycota) are recorded, including only six species from Benin. By a recent survey of rust fungi in Benin, 22 specimens representing 11 species of Pucciniales were found. These species were identified based on morphological characteristics observed by light microscopy. Nine species represent new records of rust fungi for Benin. Among them, Neophysopella tropicalis on Vitis sp. is recorded for Africa for the first time. Nucleotide sequences of the LSU region of ribosomal DNA confirmed identifications of five species, for which sequences were available in GenBank for comparison. For three species, annotated LSU and ITS barcode sequences are provided for the first time. Puccinia canaliculata var. tenuis on Cyperus spp., described from South Africa and recorded for Guinea as well as for Benin, is treated as Puccinia doidgeae nom. nov., based on morphological and sequence data.


We report the first unambiguous quasi-periodic large-scale extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave or shock that was detected by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. During the whip-like unwinding eruption of a small filament on 2012 April 24, multiple consecutive large-scale wavefronts emanating from AR11467 were observed simultaneously along the solar surface and a closed transequatorial loop system. In the meantime, an upward propagating dome-shaped wavefront was also observed, whose initial speed and deceleration are about 1392 km s−1 and 1.78 km s−2, respectively. Along the solar surface, the quasi-peridoic wavefronts had a period of about 163 ± 21 s and propagated at a nearly constant speed of 747 ± 26 km s−1; they interacted with active region AR11469 and launched a sympathetic upward propagating secondary EUV wave. The wavefronts along the loop system propagated at a speed of 897 km s−1, and they were reflected back at the southern end of the loop system at a similar speed. In addition to the propagating waves, a standing kink wave was also present in the loop system simultaneously. Periodicity analysis reveals that the period of the wavefronts was consistent with that of the unwinding helical structures of the erupting filament. Based on these observational facts, we propose that the observed quasi-periodic EUV wavefronts were most likely excited by the periodic unwinding motion of the filament helical structures. In addition, two different seismological methods are applied to derive the magnetic field strength of the loop system, and for the first time the reliability of these inversion techniques are tested with the same magnetic structure.


The best indicator of titration in nonaqueous solvent for determinating the polymerization of propenoic acid and EPDM were selected by experiments.It was found that the different indicator should be used for different high polymerization.The method given in this paper to measure the proportion of propenoic acid and EPDM is simple,possible,convenient and with good results.

: This project involves modeling a water elevator in order to study its behavior and relate its mechanical advantages to various fluid mechanics properties. The reason that this small scale water elevator was constructed was to get a better understanding of such real world applications. As developing engineers, students have to grasp how to implement the theory they learn in the classroom. The properties of the water elevator were described with the energy equation, conservation of mass, volumetric flow rate, and hydrostatic pressure. After conducting various tests, theoretical and experimental values were compared and an analysis of the data was assembled allowing for the development of a more thorough understanding of fluid mechanics.


This paper aims to present the universals properties of the Archives, thought of as an archival institution, based on a priori philosophical reflection, to establish fundaments to determinate the graduation of these properties – and their maximum level, at the Paradigmatic Archive – and to confirm these properties through the forms observed in the General Archive of the Indies, that displays them to some degree. With that, the aim is to build a model for the Archives, determining how they should be. The interdisciplinary approach, between ontology and archivology, was adopted, integrating the method of philosophical reflection with documentary research procedures, based on pieces of fonds from the General Archive of the Indies, collection of images of the author and sources. The discussion addresses aspects of practices, forms and functions, which indicate the essence of the Archives and their path towards their paradigmatic ideality. The General Archive of the Indies is presented as a particular example that exemplifies these essential properties. Our conclusion is that there are certain essential universal properties of Archives, or archival institutions, which are: accessibility, durability and practicality. In addition, the proposed model is applicable for the institutionalization of Archives and also for the construction, reforms, implantations, the creation of new spaces, adaptations, restructuring in buildings and institutional uses of the Archive.


Abstract Corresponding to known results on Orlicz–Sobolev inequalities which are stronger than the Poincaré inequality, this paper studies the weaker Orlicz–Poincaré inequality. More precisely, for any Young function $\varPhi$ whose growth is slower than quadric, the Orlicz–Poincaré inequality $$ \|f\|_\varPhi^2\le C\E(f,f),\qquad\mu(f):=\int f\,\mathrm{d}\mu=0 $$ is studied by using the well-developed weak Poincaré inequalities, where $\E$ is a conservative Dirichlet form on $L^2(\mu)$ for some probability measure $\mu$. In particular, criteria and concrete sharp examples of this inequality are presented for $\varPhi(r)=r^p$ $(p\in[1,2))$ and $\varPhi(r)= r^2\log^{-\delta}(\mathrm{e} +r^2)$ $(\delta>0)$. Concentration of measures and analogous results for non-conservative Dirichlet forms are also obtained. As an application, the convergence rate of porous media equations is described.


seem more likely that it was a case of some Asian troops trained by a few Roman veterans to fight in Roman fashion; this would also explain their speedy retreat, which was certainly un-Roman! In any case, a few, rather aged, Roman legionaries and a small number of "barbarian" troops trained by them would hardly have been likely to have been able to •organize a colonia, even with the help of later immigrants—assuming that a few Roman traders might later have reached China by the •overland route across Asia. The most likely hypothesis that emerges from .all these considerations is that Li-chien, "Alexandria at the borders of China," may have been founded by a few Greek merchants, or by traders under Greco-Bactrian influence, to become a foreign trading center between China proper and Chinese Turkestan. This then might later have absorbed other people from farther west, including a few Roman citizens; but it was probably never a Roman city in any sense, much less a colonia. However, even this must remain mere conjecture unless archaeology can •eventually throw some light on the former cultural relations of this city and its inhabitants. In short, Dr. Dubs deserves credit for his •efforts to broaden the outlook of both Chinese and European classical historians, but not for "his conclusions, which seem quite untenable.

central issues in Christianity that will help clarify current positions about Christianity. Whether the reader accepts the author's view will depend largely on whether one's own perceptions of Christianity coincide. Given the definite limits of this project, the author has done very well indeed. In view of the book's theme, the author gives special though brief consideration to Christianity's relation to Israel, to the New Testament scriptures, including the Gospel of Thomas, and also to the early centuries when Christianity was struggling to explain theologically what happened in Jesus of Nazareth. The author delves into the mystery of the nature of Christ and the Trinity, the early heresies, gnosticism, Chalcedon, and the atonement. He picks up on the highlights of medieval theology and deals briefly with the Reformation and modern theologians, including Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Ricoeur, Karl Rahner, Jiirgen Moltmann, Hans Kiing, Kierkegaard, and others. Readers may find the early sections of the book dealing with scriptures somewhat controversial and inadequate, and they may consider the modern named challenges to Christianity a little too trendy. Nevertheless, they should find a clear statement and perceptive insights into some significant issues that are still basic to Christianity.


Early in 1983,E.P.Odum pointed out "redundancy can enhance the stability of a ecosystem",SHENG Chengfa firstly gave a concept of "growth redundancy" in 1991,and demonstrated the over\|compensation in crops.Many scientists carried out researches on the growth redundancy,putting whole interesting in growth redundancy in crops resulting in departure from a state by which men can benefit the most.\;However,this is a subject for which,unfortunately,little evidence has been gathered.Growth redundancy in plants was poorly understood by experiments,there was no direct experiment on proof of growth redundancy in crops or in other plants,and seldom researches came to the issue of growth redundancy in no crop plants.One reason lies in the fact that growth redundancy cannot be investigated directly and great difficulties were encountered in defining "growth redundancy" and its degree.The lack of this work is surprising,and must be addressed.Our comprehension of how growth redundancy emerges,works and evolves will be sadly incomplete without a convincing proof of it and a concerted effort to understand the ecological significance of growth redundancy.\;In this paper,we illustrated root growth redundancy in water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes ),a normally dominant species of aquatic macrophytes with typical fibrous root system,and the growth redundancy degree in plants lived in different habitats.\;We conducted a series of experiments involved different hand\|removal of roots to different Eichhornia crassipes plants lived in 3 different habitats:solely lived,lived in Eichhornia crassipes population and coexisted with Hydrilla verticillata ,a submerged plant easily found in freshwater ecosystems in Yangtze River Basin.In each habitat,3 plants were transplanted and lived for 2 weeks before the experiment.In experiments,the 3 plants in every habitats underwent 3 different hand\|removal of roots respectively,1/3 removed,1/2 removed,and 2/3 removed,to test whether there is a growth redundancy,and,if there is,how about the degree of it.The Eichhornia crassipes plants used for the experiment were selected from the sprouts of the same mother plant with nearly the same leaves and roots to ensure a similar growth potential.\;The plant growth situations,root quantity and root maximum length were investigated one week after the experiments.We found,(i) in solely lived plants,the plant with 1/3 roots removed remained a natural growth,with little new root emerged;the plant with 1/2 roots removed remained a natural growth but many new roots emerged;the plant with 2/3 root removed turned to had a weaken and very slow growth,with little new root;(ii) lived in Eichhornia crassipes population,The plants with 1/3 and 1/2 roots removed both have flowered,and had the same root growth situation to the corresponding experimental plant in the former experiment.But,the one with 2/3 roots removed had only a declined,not weakened,growth with some new roots.It can be said the root growth redundancy in plants lived in population turned out to be much more than that in solely lived plants;(iii) coexisted with Hydrilla verticillata, The plants with 1/3 and 1/2 roots removed both have flowered as in the 2\+\{nd\} experiment.The plant with 1/2 roots removed had many long and new roots,and the one with 2/3 roots removed had a declined growth and some much longer roots.\;Our data provided evidence for that there does exit growth redundancy in root of Eichhornia crassipes. The growth redundancy in root of Eichhornia crassipes plant lived in population or coexisted with Hydrilla verticillata are much more than that of the solely lived plants,and the longer root length in plants coexisted with Hydrilla verticillata was thought to be important for enhancing the competitive ability of Eichhornia crassipes plant.Based on this fact,it is suggested that the growth redundancy is indispensable for improved nutrient uptake in plants and enhanced competitive ability.\;As a fundamental of redundancy,groth redundancy in plant or


Several microscopic and mesoscale models have been introduced in the past to investigate various phenomena in lipid membranes. Most of these models account for the solvent explicitly. Since in a typical molecular dynamics simulation, the majority of particles belong to the solvent, much of the computational effort in these simulations is devoted for calculating forces between solvent particles. To overcome this problem, several implicit-solvent mesoscale models for lipid membranes have been proposed during the last few years. In the present article, we review an efficient coarse-grained implicit-solvent model we introduced earlier for studies of lipid membranes. In this model, lipid molecules are coarse-grained into short semi-flexible chains of beads with soft interactions. Through molecular dynamics simulations, the model is used to investigate the thermal, structural and elastic properties of lipid membranes. We will also review here few studies, based on this model, of the phase behavior of nanoscale liposomes, cytoskeleton-induced blebbing in lipid membranes, as well as nanoparticles wrapping and endocytosis by tensionless lipid membranes.


Your criticism of mjr "b ntittt [Ex. 21, 8] is very effective. Some of the objections might be met by taking s subject to rnjP not the master but the father, or making the subject indefinite "her inaster, to whom, in the contract, she was destined ( s concubine)." But this does not really remove any difficulty except the use of ib instead of WQJ*?. But now if we accept your HJTP we must I think go further and delete $b (iS) altogether.

The control problem of the target speed and power tracking was investigated for the auxiliary power unit of series hybrid electrical vehicles and an adaptive control strategy with disturbance attenuation was proposed.In the light of the inherent nonlinearity and the uncertainty caused by the parameter perturbation as well as the load disturbance,the dynamics mathematical description was established for the considered system.A nonlinear adaptive controller was designed based on adaptive backstepping design method and L_2-gain disturbance attenuation technique.Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the designed controller can not only guarantee the stability and good dynamical performance in the dynamic process of the system,but also effectively attenuate the errors resulting from the parameter variations and load disturbance.


This article traces the historical development of water resource management in Central Asia, focusing on the causes of the current Aral Sea Basin crisis. It examines the obstacles facing the Central Asian republics in addressing this problem and offers predictions regarding the future state of the region's ecology, economy, and stability, as well as the health of the region's people. The article also explains how existing plans of action have been largely ineffective and why restoring the Aral Sea to its original state is an impossible task. Finally, it provides feasible policy recommendations on how to prevent the further mismanagement of the region's water while maintaining viable levels of economic development and population growth.

The exponential growth of technology creates opportunity for numerous sorts of application to be produced, and education is one of the sectors which significantly impacted by this technological advancement. As such, we can witness various kinds of mobile applications being developed for higher education recently. Therefore, it is important to produce an application which contributes to better degree of user satisfaction in higher education context. This study involved performing user acceptance test and measuring the users' satisfaction using System Usability Scale (SUS) towards a graduation mobile application that runs on two platforms; web and mobile. A number of 45 participants involved in the assessments and the results disclose a significant correlation between the SUS scores and number of issues reported, where the application has agreeably met the users' satisfaction by passing the acceptable marginal level with 73.7 score. Insights from this study offers a ground basis on measuring the user satisfaction where the individual item scores could also be analyzed in order to provide insight into the application's possible problems and improvement.


Circulating fluidized bed(CFB)boiler is a distributed parameter, nonlinear, time varying and multivariate coupling system. In this paper the dynamic mathematical model of CFB boiler was established and the dynamic performance under variation of different parameters was simulated.The dynamic computation was carried out toward a 35t/h CFB boiler, in which the dynamic performance under step change of coal, step change of air, and the accident of sudden loss of coal were simulated. The results indicated that the model can reflect the dynamic performance of the boiler properly.

The Ming emperors conducted critical meditation and issued self-blaming decrees more frequently than the emperors of the previous dynasties.Especially after Chenghua(1465-1488) period,it had become a routine method of policy introspection and adjustment.The direct reasons for holding critical meditation might be natural calamity,abnormal astronomical phenomena such passive things,or,even simply for active self-cultivation.In most cases,critical meditations were held for natural or astronomical events,rarely for social issues.When an issue was so serious that can not be dealt with by holding critical meditation,the emperor would issue a self-blaming decree to assume responsibility,which was the extreme conduct that an emperor would do in such situations.The emperors' critical meditation and self-blaming decrees reflect Confucian consciousness of monarchy responsibility.They were expected to have the religious function of eliminating disaster and blessing.In addition,they represented the promises of the emperors to people for better policies.In a close examination of the attitudes of the Ming emperors and the scholar officials to the above mentioned issues,the compatibility between emperors and scholar officials in terms of political roles and stand is embodied.As internal introspection processes,the critical meditation and the issuing of self-blaming decrees constituted a common expectation and protection of the virtue and responsibility of the emperors,which limited the behaviors of the emperors,although the limitation was in itself limited.


4) There is an important distinction to be made between (1) variables such as GCS, ISS etc which can take integer values in a restricted range because they are formed by addition of a number of sub-scale scores, and (2) variables such as blood pressure and age which are fundamentally continuous but due to the limitations of measurement accuracy may be recorded to the nearest integer or to one decimal place etc. This distinction is important in the context of point 3 above.


By the methods of collecting seed rain with traps, sieving soil seed bank, laboratory seed germination experiment, and field investigation, this paper studied the compositions and spatiotemporal distribution features of soil seed bank and seed rain in six Abies fabri forests with different ages and at different altitudes in Gongga Mountain of Southwest China. The size of soil seed bank decreased with increasing soil depth, and the seeds mainly concentrated in litter layer. At the same altitudes, the sizes of soil seed bank and seed rain decreased after an initial increase with increasing forest age, and the biggest values were found in mature forests. Moreover, the percentage and the overall quality of intact seeds were the highest in mature forests. At different altitudes, the seed density of soil seed bank and seed rain in the mature forests with similar ages were apparently lower at higher and lower altitudes than at intermediate altitudes, which could be related to the differences of water and heat conditions. It was suggested that mature A. fabri forests had the best productive phase, their seed quality was good, and their micro-habitat condition was most suitable for the seed conversation after dispersal, possibly because of the unique biological features of A. fabri and its micro-habitat condition.


Aims:
• To bring together studies that investigate the influence of context on healthcare professional (HCP) behaviour
• To assess contextual influences in real-time in the delivery of patient care
• To examine theoretical explanations of variation in HCP behaviour with a focus on non-deliberative processes
• To identify opportunities for HCP behaviour change

Rationale: Healthcare professional behaviour has important implications for the professionals themselves, patient outcomes and wider health service delivery. There remain problems in accurately assessing what healthcare professionals do during their clinical work. Implementing change can also be problematic because of a limited understanding of the non-deliberative (e.g. contextual/habitual) influences on targeted healthcare behaviours which may have some bearing on the effectiveness of interventions. This symposium aims to present novel ways of assessing and explaining automatic, associative influences on behaviours involved in clinical practice with a focus on guiding methods of change.

Summary: In keeping with the conference theme, making an impact in health services, the symposium will highlight several approaches to understanding healthcare professional behaviour in order to design and develop theory-based behaviour change interventions. Studies presented adopt diverse methods and cover a range HCP behaviours and healthcare contexts. Specifically, the programme will comprise: a systematic review investigating the relationship between habit and healthcare professional behaviour (Potthoff); a qualitative study identifying the role of context in influencing the antibiotic prescribing behaviour of doctors in two primary care settings (Tonkin-Crine); an observational investigation of situational factors associated with stress in trainee doctors (Bell); a real-time diary study exploring nursing tasks and perceptions of stress (Farquharson); and a study examining the use of psychological theory to support implementation of evidence-based practice in healthcare (Fahy). A discussion (lead by Presseau) will complete the symposium.

For the standard weighted Bergman spaces on the complex unit ball, the Berezin transform of a bounded continuous function tends to this function pointwise as the weight parameter tends to infinity. We show that this remains valid also in the context of harmonic Bergman spaces on the real unit ball of any dimension. This generalizes the recent result of C. Liu for the unit disc, as well as the original assertion concerning the holomorphic case. Along the way, we also obtain a formula for the corresponding weighted harmonic Bergman kernels.


UNLABELLED
The clinical and radiographic manifestations of cervical spine involvement in psoriatic arthritis remain incompletely described. Only one case-control study has been reported.

OBJECTIVE
To conduct a case-control study of the clinical and radiographic manifestations of cervical spine involvement in psoriatic arthritis.

PATIENTS AND METHODS
30 psoriatic arthritis patients (mean age, 53.3 years (21-78); sex ratio, 1; mean disease duration, 80.4 months (12-204); and mean Ritchie's index, 9.3 (2-30)) were compared with 30 controls with common low back pain (mean age, 53.8 years (21-78)). Each patient underwent a physical examination, completed a questionnaire on function, underwent cervical spine radiography (anteroposterior and lateral views and views in flexion and extension). All radiographs were evaluated by an independent observer.

RESULTS
Patients were more likely than controls to have neck pain (22/30 (73%) vs 8/30 (26%) P < 0.001). Among subjects with neck pain, the time pattern was more likely to be inflammatory in the patients than in the controls (14/22 vs 1/8, P < 0.001). Functional impairment and pain severity were significantly greater in the patients. On radiographs, facet joint abnormalities (osteophytes, joint space loss, sclerosis) were significantly more common (P < 0.01) in the patients, particularly at C3-C4 and C4-C5. Also more common in the patients were signs of spondylitis (7 vs 0) and of facet joint arthritis (7 vs 2). No subjects had syndesmophytes. Three (10%) patients had anterior C1-C2 subluxation with an atlas-dens interval greater than 4 mm. Within the patient group, no correlations were found between clinical patterns and radiographic findings.

CONCLUSION
Our data confirm that psoriatic arthritis frequently involves the cervical spine, with the facet joints being a preferred target, and can cause anterior C1-C2 subluxation.


Background: Habitual smoking is prevalent in military populations, but
whether smoking status influences physical fitness development during training is
not clear.

Aims: We investigated the effect of smoking status on physical fitness
parameters during initial British Army Infantry training.

Methods: Routine measures of physical fitness (2.4 km run time and
maximum number of press ups and sit ups in two minutes) were obtained in 1,182
male recruits (mean ± SD: age 20 ± 3 y, body mass 70.6 ± 9.8 kg, height 1.77 ± 0.07
m; 58% smokers) at weeks 1, 14 and 24 of initial military training. A linear mixed
model was used to identify differences in performance between smokers and nonsmokers over time.

Results: Non-smokers performed significantly better than smokers in all
performance tests (P<0.01), but rates of improvement during training were similar
(P>0.05). Run performance improved by 7% in non-smokers (estimated marginal
means with 95% confidence limits; 612 (608-616) s to 567 (562-572) s) and 8% in
smokers (622 (619-625) s to 571 (568-575) s). Press up performance improved by
18% in non-smokers (48.3 (47.1-49.4) to 57.0 (55.6-58.3)) and 23% in smokers (44.1
(43.2-45.1) to 54.5 (53.3-55.6)) and sit up performance by 15% in non-smokers (57.3
(56.3-58.2) to 66.0 (64.9-67.2)) and 18% in smokers (53.8 (53.0-54.6) to 63.3 (62.3-
64.3)).

Conclusions: Smokers exhibited lower muscular and cardiorespiratory
endurance performance than non-smokers. Unexpectedly however, no significant
differences in improvement in performance indices were demonstrated between
smokers and non-smokers during military training.


Mutagenic interaction between ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS; a monofunctional alkylating agent) and maleic hydrazide (MH; a promutagen activated into a mutagen in plants highly likely by peroxidase) was studied in the stamen hairs of Tradescantia clone BNL 4430, a blue/pink heterozygote. Since EMS has been shown to act synergistically with X rays in inducing mutations, and mutagenic synergisms have also been observed between X rays and MH by exposing to X rays before MH treatments, EMS and MH were expected to act synergistically at least by exposing to EMS before MH treatment. Three different combined treatments were conducted, i.e., by exposing for 4 h to 18.8 mM EMS 44 or 20 h before starting or 20 h after completing 1 mM MH treatments for 4 h. Unexpectedly, however, clear antagonistic effects in inducing somatic pink mutations were detected after all these combined treatments. Especially, the induced mutation frequency by exposing to EMS 44 h before the MH treatment was significantly lower than that induced by MH alone. The clear mutagenic antagonisms observed were thought to have resulted from EMS-caused inhibition of activation of MH by peroxidase, EMS ethylating and thus inactivating this enzyme or its precursors. Decreased peroxidase activities than those after treatments with MH alone were measured after two combined treatments, i.e., 12 h after the one exposing to EMS 44 h before MH and 24 h after the other exposing to EMS 20 h after MH, but the decreases were not large enough or their fluctuations were too large to judge them to be statistically significant. Comparisons of mutation frequencies induced by the combined treatments exposing to EMS before MH with those by MH alone suggest that there are some mechanisms (other than ethylation of peroxidase or its precursors) by which EMS suppresses the activation of MH.

The performance of decision feedback equalizers (DFE's) working on a noiseless channel with correct tap weights is studied. We show that the space of channel parameters can accordingly be partitioned into a finite number of sets. The error recovery performance of a DFE is the same for all DFE's within one such set, and is determinable. We also discuss some tight bounds for recovery time statistics, which are particularly important when the number of equalizer taps is not small. We argue that minimum phase or near minimum phase character for the channel does not necessarily guarantee short recovery time.


A simple paper chromatographic method for separation and quantitative determination of tetracycline in pharmaceutical preparations was developed. The method is based on the complexation of the antibiotic with a mixture of urea and disodium edetate on a chromatographic paper at pH 7.4. Spots of tetracycline and its degradation products were located under UV light, and their respective Rf values were calculated. The method can be used to determine tetracycline phosphate, even in the presence of oleandomycin. The developed method proved satisfactory in monitoring the stability of the antibiotic base and its hydrochloride.


Numerous studies and thermal imaging inspection of multi-storey residential buildings indicate characteristic places with increased heat loss. In houses built in accordance with modern domestic regulatory requirements for the thermal resistance of enclosing structures, the actual thermal resistance of walls and windows coincides with the standard. However, nodes of elements of external enclosing structures with increased values of heat loss were found. Insulation of the junction points allows increasing the thermal resistance of the external enclosing structures. In order to increase the energy efficiency of a building, the design of the insulation of the junction of the ceiling in the technical attic has been proposed, which is protected by a patent for a useful model. The linear heat transfer coefficients of the junction point of the ceiling in the attic are analyzed. It was revealed that such information was not indicated in the regulatory documents. Reducing heat loss is achieved by arranging additional layers of insulation in the form of aerogel slabs at the junction of the ceiling to the external enclosing structures. The analysis of the energy efficiency of the proposed design of the junction unit of the attic floor as a "cold bridge" was carried out according to the results of mathematical modeling in the DAMWERK software package. Based on the simulation results, the temperature distribution in the junction of the ceiling in the technical attic was established. The linear heat transfer coefficient of the recommended junction point of the ceiling in the technical attic has been determined, the value of which should be taken into account when developing the Energy Efficiency section. The results obtained confirm the feasibility of introducing the proposed structural design of the floor abutment unit in the technical attic, which will improve the energy efficiency of the building's thermal insulation envelope.


Modern programming languages support modular development dividing the system into separate translation units and compile them individually. A linker is used then to assemble together these units either statically or dynamically. This process, however, introduces implicit dependences between the translation units. When one or more units are modifyed in inconsistent way binary incompatibility occurs and may result unexpected program behavior. Current mainstream programming languages neither specify what are the binary compatibility rules nor provide tools to check them. In this paper we discuss the details of various cases of binary incompatibility. We implemented a prototype solution in the Welltype programming language [?, ?] to detect binary compatibility by dynamic loader.


Traditional design methods seldom consider accumulation properties, which influence the structure of asphalt mixtures. Therefore, this study is the first to put forward a modified compressible packing model. The filling characteristics of coarse aggregate were studied. Different matrix compaction indexes η   a n d   c o m p a c t i o n   i n d e x e s   K   w e r e   s e l e c t e d to study the influence of the modified compressible model on pavement performance. Design methods based on a 4% air void and minimum voids in mineral aggregate were compared through the volumetric parameters and pavement performance based on the modified compressible packing model. The asphalt mixture performances with three gradations were analyzed. The test results showed that as the matrix compaction index η decreased, the optimum asphalt content of both methods increased, while the VMA decreased. Finally, an optimized asphalt mixture design method based on the compressible packing model was proposed, which showed good prospects for application.

Labor mobility may have a strong impact on the effects of policy changes. In this paper, we present and test an innovative approach to moblity that draws on Dantzig's transportation model and the product-space (PS) literature, and apply it to a CGE model and database for a Sub-Saharan African (SSA) economy.
The essence of our approach is that labor has sector-specific capabilities. Labor that moves is less effective than the labor that already works in the receiving sector. The smaller the differences between sector capabilities, the higher their proximity (as defined in the PS literature). If labor moves to a new location, the effective labor quantity received in the destination sector falls short of the effective (and physical) quantity of labor that leaves the origin sector; the longer the distance (the lower the proximity), the larger this shortfall. Profit-maximizing producers consider the gap between effective and physical labor in their decisions. Over time, the sectoral allocation of labor may evolve due to learning by doing. A key feature of this treatment is that it, realistically, views labor segmentation along a continuum as opposed to the dichotomy of treating labor in different sectors as belonging either to the same segment or to different, separate segments. Our approach is consistent with alternative treatments of other aspects of labor markets, including the determination of total employment for each labor type, the units used for labor, and substitutability between labor typess within sectors. The PS literature provides a default approach for the definition of proximity data but other options may be considered. This treatment provides a means of avoiding excessive short-run adjustments in labor force allocation in response to economic shocks. The paper presents our approach in comparison with others, tests it in comparative-static simulations of the effects of export price shocks for food with alternative labor market parameterizations.


Learning from failure in organization is important. There are, however, few organizations which are good at it. There are difficulties to disclose your failure experience to your colleagues in organization because of stigma, guilty feelings, shame and other disadvantages. Nevertheless, there was a company in Japan, which was good at learning from failure. Authors employed the company to examine whether failure-story sharing with a particular coworker induced failure-story-sharing with anonymous members in organization and/or other particular coworker. Authors found that failure-story-sharing with a particular coworker induced directly failure-story-sharing with other particular coworker, and induced one with anonymous members in organization, partially mediated by work-value-sharing in organization. And Authors also found that the work-value-sharing in organization did not matter with your own behavior of failure-story sharing with a particular coworker.

BACKGROUND
Status epilepticus (SE) frequently does not respond to common first-line anticonvulsants. In a substantial portion of patients, administration of anticonvulsant anesthetics is inevitable. Even this aggressive approach fails to terminate SE in an undefined number of cases. We have coined the term malignant SE for this most severe variant of SE.

OBJECTIVE
To assess frequency, risk factors, and in-hospital outcome of malignant SE.

DESIGN
Retrospective cohort study.

SETTING
Neurologic intensive care unit of a large university hospital. Patients Sample of 35 episodes of SE not responding to first-line anticonvulsants in 34 patients.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Predictive and prognostic features of episodes of malignant SE with persistent epileptic activity after high-dose anesthetics compared with features of the remainder of cases with refractory SE and persistent epileptic activity after failure of first-line anticonvulsants.

RESULTS
Status epilepticus that could not be controlled by first-line anticonvulsants resulted in malignant SE in 20% of cases. Patients with malignant SE were significantly younger than patients with refractory SE (P = .03). Encephalitis was identified as an independent risk factor for malignant SE (P = .008). Outcome in malignant SE was poor, with significantly longer duration of seizure activity (P<.001), longer stay in the neurologic intensive care unit (P<.001) and in the hospital (P = .007), and more patients with functional dependency at discharge from the hospital (P = .04).

CONCLUSIONS
Malignant SE is not rare after failure of first-line anticonvulsants. The patient at risk is typically young and suffers from encephalitis. Such patients should be treated aggressively early in the course of SE to prevent malignant SE.


Summary: A matched controlled study of cord blood erythrocyte parameters has been carried out on infants of smoking and non‐smoking mothers. A highly significant (P < .001) increase in mean corpuscular volume in the infants of smoking mothers was observed which did not appear to be related to the number of cigarettes used. There was no significant change in the red cell count, but haemoglobin concentration and mean corpuscular haemoglobin showed a similar increase. Growth retardation has been observed in the infants of smoking mothers and a possible mechanism for this is postulated.


In the process of urbanization there arise the problems of inadequacy of land resources and deterioration of the environment. It is proposed that underground spaces should be developed and buildings should be erected therein. Analyses are made to the physical properties of soil, heat engineering conditions and the exact demand for the exploitation of underground spaces. A concrete design for the exploitation of underground spaces is provided to demonstrate the necessity and feasibility of underground space development. It is demonstrated that the development of underground spaces is a new way for the sustainable development of cities.


Up to the time when they had applied for therapeutic abortion the majority of the women stated that they could see no other way out of their difficulties than to have the pregnancy lawfully terminated. Only in a few instances was the reason for the woman's application to the National Board of Health the fact that she needed the support of a refusal in order to make her pregnancx acceptable to herself or her environment. Thus, in all cases, the women were definitely of the opinion that the pregnancy should not be allowed to continue. The women's actions after being refused permission for an abortion were consequently a reflection of their reactions tQ the refusal as well as a reflection of their ability to accept the unwelcome pregnancy.

The pore diameter of resultant membrane is 0.01-0.1 micron, and is easily controlled.


This paper presents two different FPGA-implementation of radix-4 butterflies suitable for HIPERLAN 2. The two approaches lead to an efficient use of the hardware resources available in the target device and reduces the area with respect to the direct implementation of the radix-4 butterfly. Both methods reduce the area required storing the coefficients. The first one uses the symmetries of coefficients for reducing the number of functions to store; the second one takes advantage of the dual-port capability of the embedded block-RAM.


Introduction and objectives: The aim of this research was to study the prevalence and severity of dental caries, analyzing the influence of some socioeconomic factors and the fluoridation of public water supply. Material and methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was performed based on data collected through the Oral Health Epidemiological Survey of Rio Grande do Sul, which included 571 12year-old schoolchildren from the north of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data was analyzed through binary logistic regression test. Results: After data adjustment, results showed that schoolchildren living in small-sized cities had 3 times higher odds of having dental caries than the ones who live in big and medium-sized cities (OR = 2.94; IC95% = 1.86-4.64). Conclusion: The demographic size of the city was the main factor associated to the dental caries experience in schoolchildren from the north of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.


Playing games is an important part of our social and mental development. This research was initiated to identify the game type most suitable to our teaching environment and to identify game elements that students found interesting or useful within the different game types. A group of twenty students played four commercial games (SimIsle, Red Alert, Zork Nemesis and Duke Nukem 3D). Results suggest that students prefer 3D-adventure (Zork Nemesis) and strategy (Red Alert) games to the other types ("shoot-em-up", simulation) with Zork Nemesis ranked as the best. Students rated game elements such as logic, memory, visualisation and problem solving as the most important game elements. Such elements are integral to adventure games and are also required during the learning process. We present a model that links pedagogical issues with game elements. The game space contains a number of components, each encapsulates specific abstract or concrete interfaces. Understanding the relationship between educational needs and game elements will allow us to develop educational games that include visualisation and problem solving skills. Such tools could provide sufficient stimulation to engage learners in knowledge discovery, while at the same time developing new skills.


Clinicopathological significance of colorectal mucinous carcinoma (MC) remains controversial. The aim of the current study was to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal MC.


In contrast to the VAT regime, income taxation in the European Union (EU) remains almost fully non-harmonised. A number of factors suggest the possibility that harmonisation of direct taxes in the EU may not be as far-fetched as many believe. The first is the compulsion of mounting economic and financial stresses that may limit tax competition inhibiting harmonisation. The second is growing appreciation of the fact that unfettered judicial intervention in tax policy by the Court of Justice of the EU without the benefit of legislative guidance is no longer sustainable. The third is the effect of the abolition in the Lisbon Treaty of an EU direction to Member States to act independently of the EU to address the problem of double taxation. The Lisbon Treaty amendments to the European governing treaties may in due course unfold in such a way that the EU has wide powers to act in the income tax field based on its responsibility for protecting the single market. And finally, the adoption in EU law of explicit processes for Member States to adopt harmonised rules in the medium term rather than wait indefinitely to achieve unanimity may open the door to greater EU income tax harmonisation in the long run.


Objective To observe if the therapeutic efficacy was enhanced by using 10% povidone iodine(PVP-Ⅰ) to replace Distilled Water as coolant during ultrasonic scaling and root planning.Methods 1 128 test sites from 10 patients with moderate and severe paradentosis were selected and randomly put into two groups.Distilled Water as coolant was used during ultrasonic scaling and root planning(SRP)for 45 minute/person in control group,and 10% povidone iodine as coolant was used in experimental group.After baseline for 1 month and 3 months,the clinical indexes including plaque index(PI),bleeding on probing(BOP),probing pocket depth(PD) and clinical attachment loss(CAL)were re-examined.Results Each index of the two groups was improved after initial therapy(P0.05).There was,however,no significant difference between the two groups(P0.05).Conclusion The therapeutic efficacy was not enhanced by using 10% povidone iodine instead of Distilled Water as coolant during ultrasonic scaling and root planning.

COVID-19 has now infected over 165 million people and killed over 3.5 million people. While public health interventions have reduced its spread and vaccines are being deployed, passive detection methods are needed to detect infections and early track its resurgence. Wearables that are widely owned can gather various physiological and activity data, presenting an opportunity to detect COVID-19 unobtrusively. COVID-19 infection causes deviations in the vital physiological signs and activity patterns of infected users. However, similar deviations of these same variables can also be affected by non-COVID factors, confounding the signals. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of predicting COVID-19 infection to detect abnormalities in heart rate, activity (steps), and sleep data available on low-end wearables by using machine learning. Prior work utilized data such as oxygen saturation that is only available on clinical-grade equipment or expensive wearables. We extracted 43 statistical features (standard deviation, mean, slope) and behavioral (min/max/avg length of sedentary and active bouts, sleep duration, no. of awake/asleep/restless samples) from wearable sensor data. We classified these features using machine learning classification and anomaly detection algorithms. Physical activity features were the most predictive (min length of the sedentary and active bout), yielding an AUC-ROC of 78% [specificity=74%, sensitivity=69%] when classified using Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs). We also found that sleep irregularities had low discriminative performance. COVID-19 detection using inexpensive wearables can facilitate population-level interventions.


ABSTRACT In this paper, we analyze a type of alternation that allows to express the complex constituent, which is originally in the object position, in two different syntactic positions, such as in the sentences: os alunos admiram o brilhantismo do professor [students admire the teacher's brilliance]/os alunos admiram o professor pelo brilhantismo [students admire the teacher for his brilliance]. For the analysis of this phenomenon, we used the proposal of thematic papers as a cluster of discrete semantic properties of Cançado (2005) and Cançado and Amaral (2016)). We propose that the analyzed alternation results from the factoring of the complex verb argument, being determined by semantic restrictions of nominal and verbal level. At the first level, the complex arguments which can be factored must denote a possession relationship, as in the phrase o brilhantismo do professor [the brilliance of the teacher] or the relationship between an eventive name and its agent, such as the nominal phrase a excelente atuação do artista [the excellent performance of the artist] in the alternation o público aplaudiu a excelente atuação do artista [the audience applauded the excellent performance of the artist]/o público aplaudiu o artista por sua excelente atuação [the audience applauded the artist for his excellent performance]. At the verbal level, the verbs that perform this alternation can be grouped into a coarse-grained class (LEVIN, 2010), as they all attribute the semantic properties estativo [estative], objeto de referência [reference object] and objeto motivador [motivating object] to their complex argument, which can be factored. Finally, we propose that the alternation is motivated by pragmatic factors related to the informational structure of the analyzed statements.


Background: CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has demonstrated robust responses in refractory/relapsed subjects with CD19+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Our Phase 1 clinical trial demonstrated a minimal residual disease (MRD) negative complete remission (CR) rate of 93% at 21 days following SCRI-CAR19v1 (a CD19 specific CAR T cell product) infusion (PMID: 29171004). Though remission is frequently attained, approximately half of patients recur. Controversy exists regarding the benefit of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) following CD19 CAR T cell therapy. Although not mandated by the study, our current institutional recommendation for relapsed/refractory patients without a history of allogeneic HCT is to undergo a HCT once in remission following SCRI-CAR19v1. Additionally, we have recommended HCT to those who have a short duration of persistence of SCRI-CAR19v1 in vivo regardless of prior HCT status. We report here the leukemia free survival (LFS) of subjects who proceeded to HCT following remission after SCRI-CAR19v1 infusion.
 Methods/Results: We analyzed the first 64 subjects on our Phase 1/2 trial, PLAT-02 (NCT02028455), with follow-up of ≥1 year to evaluate the potential benefit of consolidative HCT. We excluded subjects that did not respond (n=5) or relapsed prior to day 63 (n=9). Thirty-two of the evaluated subjects were treated on the Phase I dose finding portion of the study and 18 were treated on the Phase 2 portion at dose level of 1x106cells/kg. Of the 50 evaluable subjects, 33 had a history of at least one prior HCT, whereas 17 had no history of HCT. Figure A demonstrates the LFS for patients that did and did not undergo HCT following SCRI-CAR19v1.
 There is a trend towards improved LFS (p-value 0.057; Figure B) in patients who underwent first HCT following SCRI-CAR19v1. Of the 17 patients without a history of HCT, 3 did not pursue HCT following CAR therapy. Of those 3 subjects, only 1 remains in remission at 28 months. The other 2 subjects relapsed at 6 and 7 months with CD19+ and CD19- disease, respectively. Of the 14 patients that underwent first HCT after SCRI-CAR19v1, 2 relapsed following HCT. One had evidence of MRD by flow at the time of HCT and the other subject relapsed with CD19- disease. The role of second HCT following CAR therapy remains unclear. Of the 33 subjects with a history of HCT, 10 underwent a second HCT following SCRI-CAR19v1 infusion, and 5 are alive and remain in remission. The recurrences included 2 lineage switches and 2 CD19+ (1 was MRD positive by deep sequence prior to HCT), and one transplant related mortality (TRM). Of the 23 subjects that did not undergo a second HCT, 8 remain in remission (p-value not significant (NS); Figure C).
 We previously reported that subjects with a short duration of B cell aplasia (BCA) ≤63 days following SCRI-CAR19v1 have an increased risk of relapse. Here we show that subjects with short BCA who attained a CR and did not relapse prior to day 63 demonstrate a clear benefit of consolidative HCT (p-value 0.007; Figure D). Of the 15 subjects with short BCA (regardless of HCT history), 6 did not pursue HCT and all recurred (5 CD19+, 1 CD19-). Of the short BCA subjects that underwent HCT, 1 subject died of TRM (2ndHCT for this subject) and 2 subjects relapsed following HCT (1 was MRD positive prior to HCT).
 All events in the consolidative HCT group have occurred by 20 months following SCRI-CAR19v1. However, we continue to see late relapses following CAR T cell therapy in the group who did not proceed with HCT. Three subjects have relapsed beyond 2 years: 1 with CD19+ disease at 27months, 1 with CD19- disease at 41 months, and 1 patient with lineage switch AML at 38 months. Further analysis is needed to understand the continued long-term risk of relapse following CD19 CAR T cell therapy and the potential role and timing for consolidative HCT in patients with a previous HCT.
 Conclusions: We demonstrate a trend towards improved LFS for subjects without a history of HCT who undergo a consolidative HCT following CD19 CAR T cell therapy on PLAT-02. In addition, HCT appears to benefit subjects who attain a CR but are at increased risk of relapse with short-term BCA. Currently, the benefit of second HCT following CD19 CAR T cell therapy is unclear and may be restricted to those that have short functional persistence of SCRI-CAR19v1. Late relapses after SCRI-CAR19v1 have only occurred in those without consolidative HCT, but longer follow up is needed to confirm these findings.

Literature, films, and even the daily news often address war, an event that unfortunately has been a constant in modern society. Large scale, modern warfare with global involvement began with the First World War, and following the war, a global war literature boom occurred. Two bestselling novels whose anti-war themes still resound today, Im Westen nichts Neues ( All Quiet on the Western Front ) by Erich Maria Remarque and Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo, emerged from this sea of literature. Both of these novels focus on the pain that is inherent in warfare and its detrimental effects on society as well as on individual soldiers. The graphic imagery and anti-war sentiment that is present in these novels has generated controversy throughout their histories; however, the popularity of both works has prevailed, and Remarque and Trumbo's novels remain two of the most referenced in academic disciplines as well as in popular culture. This thesis explores the long-lasting success of these two works as anti-war novels, as measured by initial sales and popularity as well as by a plethora of mass cultural adaptations.


Summary. Extensive explosion seismology investigations using industrial quarry blasts have been undertaken across the Voronezh Shield. Various phases of P- and S-waves, including crustal refractions (Pg and Sa, upper mantle refractions (P, and S,), intercrustal Conrad reflections (Pc and Sc), Moho reflections (PM and SM) and reflections from boundaries within the upper mantle (PM1 and SM1, PM2 and SM2) have all been recognized. Independent and compatible velocity models V, (z) and V, (z) of the lithosphere have been derived from the composite travel-time curves and have been used to determine the variation of Poisson's ratio (6) and the seismic parameter (@) with depth. These quantities significantly advance the knowledge of the layered structure and composition of the lithosphere in the Voronezh Shield region. The models for this area are compared with those for the Canadian Shield.


Objective To evaluate the effect of the pathological changes of the pelvic cavity and fallopian tube on the outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET).Method One thousand and thirty-two patients who underwent IVF-ET were divided into tubal and pelvic infertile group(605 cases)and non-tubal and pelvic infertile group(427 cases).The tubal and pelvic infertile group was also divided into salpingemphraxis group(243 cases),tubal resection group(104 cases),fallostomy group(149 cases),tubal dropsy group(109 cages)according to the tubal lesion regions,and combined with pelvic group(194 cases),combined without pelvic group(411 cases).The data of clinical pregnancy,ectopic pregnancy,and abortion was analyzed respectively.Results The ectopic pregnancy and abortion rates in tubal and pelvic infertile group[10.63%(27/254)and 9.06%(23/254)]were higher than those in non-tubal and pelvic infertile group [3.27%(5/153)and 4.58%(7/153)](P<0.01 or<0.05).The ectopic pregnancy rate was the lowest in tubal resection group[2.17%(1/46)],the highest in fallostomy group[22.41%(13/58)],there was significant difference among the groups(P<0.01).The abortion rate in fallostomy group and tubal dropsy group[10.34%(6/58)and 15.00%(6/40)]was higher than that in salpingemphraxis group and tubal resection group [7.27%(8/110)and 6.52%(3/46)],there was significant difference among the groups(P<0.05).The abortion rate in combined with pelvic group[11.54%(9/78)]was higher than that in combined without pelvic group[7.95%(14/176)](P<0.05).Conclusions The pathological changes of the pelvic cavity and fallopian tube are higher risk factors of ectopic pregnancy and abortion occurrence.The assessment and treatment of pelvic cavity and fallopian tube before assisted reproductive treatment cycles should be enhanced.

In this article, the conceptual design of biomass steam gasification (BSG) processes using raw oil palm (ROP) and torrefied oil palm (TOP) are examined in an Aspen Plus simulator. Through thermodynamic analysis, it is verified that the BSG process with torrefied feedstock can effectively enhance the hydrogen yield. When the heat recovery design is added into the BSG process, the system energetic efficiency (SEE) is significantly improved. Finally, an optimization algorithm with respect to SEE and hydrogen yield is solved, and the optimum operating conditions are validated by simulations.


The freedom of association is one of the fundermental rights.The right of association in the constitution has two character:political and social economic.So the form of association can be divided into public association and private association.The freedom of foundation and participation is restricted for public association.The reason of "association harassment" is that there is too much administrative restriction over the freedom of association,and there is no dividing line between public association and private association.


Biodiversity loss and climate change are two of the most alarming threats to ecosystem functioning and stability. These factors are, however, typically investigated separately, overlooking potential interactions between species extinctions and climate change on ecosystems. Here, we evaluated how different temperature regimes impact the relationship between microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning, in terms of temperature sensitivity of carbon (C) cycling functions. We hypothesized that more diverse soil communities promote the stability of C cycling functions under both temperature regimes. We did not observe a ubiquitous response of all C-cycling processes to temperature increases within the distinct community diversities. While growth was stable with increasing temperatures among the diversity levels, respiration rates increased more strongly at low diversity levels than high diversity levels at higher temperatures. Carbon use efficiency, which integrates both growth and respiration, tended to decrease with temperature at lower levels of diversity. Jointly, these results demonstrate the importance of belowground soil community diversity for maintaining C-cycling thermal response under changing climate.


A reliable sensitive method for measuring vitamin B12 in the circulation was first achieved at Hammersmith in 1950.' During the subsequent decade the vitamin B12 status was assessed of patients with a wide variety of conditions.2 This culminated in the determination of a unique function for the ileum by Booth and Mollin: that of the absorption of vitamin B123. During the course of these early studies greatly increased concentrations of vitamin B12 were found in the serum of patients with very high leucocyte counts for example, in chronic myeloid leukaemia and other myeloproliferative disorders and in occasional patients with non-leukaemic leucocytosis.4 It was shown that circulating B12 is nearly all protein bound and that raised values were associated with an increase in the serum capacity for binding the vitamin. High values for circulating vitamin B12 were also described in patients with liver cell damage including those with infective hepatitis, hepatic tumours, congestive cardiac failure and abscesses involving the liver or the subhepatic space. Booth recognised the value of these observations in assessing the patients with pyrexias of unknown cause and disturbed liver function.5 It had become clear by now that vitamin B12 required specific transport proteins for absorption from the intestine and transport in the body (Figure). The proteins fall into three groups (Tables I, II).

In this analysis of St. Augustine's concept of natural law, the focus
will be on the way he presents, in a continuous development,
the ideas of moral compulsion and personal growth. In Augustine's
interpretation of the biblical text, the foundations of natural
law are provided, such that morality is not simply the fruit of consensus. Man is seen not only as a product of history, even though he cannot be understood outside of it. The natural order and the supernatural order are this way tied together.


To the Editor.— Idiopathic cardiomyopathy is a syndrome of progressive myocardial dysfunction, often associated with recurrent myocarditis. 1 Routine psychiatric evaluation of cardiac transplant candidates suggests that many patients with end-stage idiopathic cardiomyopathy have panic disorder. Panic disorder is a syndrome of recurrent episodes of abrupt-onset anxiety, associated with certain symptoms of autonomic arousal. Panic anxiety is readily treated by alprazolam, although not by other benzodiazepines. Preliminary clinical observation of these cardiac transplant candidates suggests that their panic attacks are distinct from, and may precede, initial cardiac symptoms. Some patients also report a history similar to William Harvey's 1649 description of a man overwhelmed with suppressed rage who died with a massively enlarged heart. 2 Report of a Case.— A 28-year-old man described himself as a former hotheaded rowdy with a history of binge drinking. He changed his behavior when he married six years ago. At about that time, he began
