Given its versatility, energy security's importance to economic growth cannot be overstated. Existing empirical research has not, however, taken into account the significance of energy security in achieving sustainable economic and financial development. The objective of this study is to provide an empirical response to the question, "How can we exploit energy potentials without compromising the sustainable development agenda?". Our research indicates that energy security enhances economic and financial sustainability. However, the influence varies between quantiles. Initially, energy security inhibited sustainable economic development; this may have been due to excessive reliance on fossil fuel as a source of energy generation; however, the energy transition to renewable energy mitigated this negative impact, thereby fostering sustainable economic development. Likewise, energy security promotes long‐term sustainable financial development. Energy security is the heart of sustainable economic and financial development hence, the need for diversification of energy sources by promoting the adoption of renewable energy technologies became necessary. Encourage investments in solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and other renewable sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate environmental impacts.


Massive splenic infarction is an uncommon diagnosis that is often overlooked. It is whether asymptomatic or symptomatic with abdominal pain, fever and splenomegaly. There is no consensus on which the best treatment option is, in most cases it is about deciding on conservative or surgical management according to individual patient characteristics. Case presentation: We present the case of a 33- year- old patient with a blunt abdominal trauma while riding a horse, who is taken to the hospital emergency department. A contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography is carried out with the diagnosis of a Grade III pancreatic lesion involving the distal portion of the body and tail of the pancreas with associated active bleeding. An urgent laparotomy is performed with a spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy procedure. During the immediate postoperative phase a massive splenic infarction is diagnosed after a follow-up contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography is carried out and successfully treated with conservative measures. Conclusions: It is important to highlight the feasibility of the non-surgical treatment in this kind of spleen lesion, because the spleen preservation proves to be necessary, whenever possible, due to the importance of its immunological role for the high risk of sepsis associated with death and neoplastic processes on those individuals with splenectomy.

This cultural history explores the coming into being of an emergent cultural sensibility of the computer age, the cybernetic imaginary. Articulated through four events which take place in public discourse--the thinking machine, the game, the future, and information--the analysis suggests that it is in the immediate postwar period that many of the taken-for-granted tropes, metaphors, and assumptions of current cyberculture are presented, negotiated, and normalized. This analysis is conducted in print mass media texts exploring cybernetics, computing machines and their interaction, in the period of 1944-1959. The material includes popular magazines, mass market non-fiction, fiction, and trade journals. The thinking machine as a discursive event establishes a fundamental, functional equivalence between humans and computing machines, permitting, indeed requiring, the replacement of human mental labour with machines. The game rewrites the notion of what it means to be intelligent, locating valuable knowledge firmly within a model of rationalism. Science and mathematics becomes privileged as the knowledges through which to take decisions in all forms of social organization. The event of the future marks the future as a knowable domain, and a properly knowable domain, marginalizing both the present and the past as relevant to knowledge. This confirms a teleological understanding of history, notions of technological progress, and the valuation of speed. Finally, information is redefined in this period as the successful transfer of valuable information, rather than about meaning. Communication is thus reduced to a functional, quantitative measurement. Information is offered as a universal measure of knowledge, and information theory becomes a universal methodology. Yet none of these outcomes is preordained when the computing machine is introduced to the American public after World War II. It is in the process of their negotiation in the public domain that the cybernetic imaginary is produced. The cybernetic imaginary as a set of shared cultural assumptions has significant social power implications for how we understand the computer and our selves to this day--it marks our age as a society of control


Organic electrolyte-gated transistors (OEGTs) utilizing high-capacitance ion gel dielectrics for low-voltage electronics often suffer from unintentional electrochemical doping processes (i.e., ion migration and charge transfer) and device degradation due to ion penetration into the semiconducting layer. Here, we report a simple and novel approach to fabricate a nanodroplet-embedded semiconducting polymer layer for reducing the undesired electrochemical doping processes of polymer-based OEGTs using poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as a semiconducting layer and an insulating polymer/ionic liquid gel as a gate insulator. The semiconductor P3HT is cast from a stock solution blended with a small amount of ionic liquid (IL) as a nanodroplet component. Electrochemical devices employing the IL nanodroplet-embedded P3HT (P3HT/IL) film as an active layer exhibit ideal capacitive polarization and reliable transistor operation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals that the P3HT/IL blends share a structural sim...

Abstract Abstract Abstract Abstract This paper studies whether Chinese provinces set strategically their environmental stringency when faced with interprovincial competition for mobile capital. Using Chinese provincial data and spatial panel econometric models, we find that Chinese provinces do engage in this kind of strategic interaction, particularly among those with similar industrial structure. Furthermore, we haven't found evidence of asymmetric responsiveness suggested by the race to the bottom theory. Finally, the one-sided fiscal decentralization is likely to strengthen the strategic behavior. These empirical results call for a skeptical attitude towards China's decentralization of environment policy implementation as well as its fiscal arrangements.


To achieve the 2-D nonintrusive measurements of temperature and species concentration in the combustion field, a new framework, combining calibration-free wavelength modulation absorption spectroscopy (CF-WMS) with a designed convolutional neural network (CNN), was developed. The principle of the CF-WMS, along with the architecture of the CNN net, the training, and the performance of the network, has been investigated. The region of interest was discretized into 24 × 24 pixels2, and 48 probing beams with six targeted frequencies were used to verify the feasibility of the designed CNN with WMS 2f/1f signal for temperature and species concentration reconstruction. 20 000 samples of temperature and water vapor concentration distributions are randomly fabricated, featuring three randomly positioned Gaussian distributions. Reconstructed images of the phantoms agreed well with the original distributions with the relative error of about 5.0%–9.2% and 8.0%–12.4% using 17 000 training datasets with different beam arrangements for temperature and H2O species, respectively. Several representative beam arrangements with a limited number have been examined and compared. The beam arrangement BA2 and BA3 exhibited better performance than BA1 with average errors of about 5% and 8% for temperature and H2O species, respectively. Such a method can provide an effective way to achieve spatially and temporally resolved, real-time, in situ monitoring in practical combustion environments.

In the research reported, CI particles were encapsulated with PMMA via emulsion polymerization. After the polymerization, the fabricated CI‐PMMA composite particles were dispersed in a suspension medium to prepare MRF. The synthesized CI‐PMMA composite particle-based MRF showed a shear stress of 60 kPa at the magnetic field strength of 0.6 T, and a greatly enhanced anti-sedimentationstability. c � 2010 Society of Chemical Industry


A 36-year-old female patient suffering from anorexia nervosa of the restricting type, depression, symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux and several cardiac abnormalities including left branch block was treated with mirtazapine and pantoprazole. Several hematological abnormalities appeared, i.e., a pancytopenia including a severe leukopenia (neutropenia), erythrocytopenia and a thrombocytopenia, which almost resumed upon discontinuation of medication. This situation of low nutrition represents probably an important risk factor for the development of severe hematological disturbances and cardiac alterations, including left branch block and it complicates pharmacotherapeutic interventions.

Sweet Spanish onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Granex 33) was transplanted in two, three, or four rows per bed at 7.6, 15.2, or 22.9 cm in-row spacings resulting in plant populations ranging from 41,000 to 246,000 plants/ha during Winter 1991. Interactions between number of rows per bed and in-row spacings were nonsignificant for onion yield and bulb size traits. As number of rows per bed increased or in-row spacings decreased, marketable onion yield linearly increased and mean bulb size (g/bulb) decreased. Percentage of small, medium, and large bulbs was unaffected by number of rows per bed, but percentage of small and medium-sized bulbs increased and percentage of large bulbs decreased as in-row spacing decreased. Onion yields linearly increased, but at the expense of smaller-sized bulbs, whether plant populations were increased by more rows per bed or narrower in-row spacings.


Carbon–carbon composites have unique physical and chemical properties but are limited by poor oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures in an oxidizing environment. Coatings based on metal carbides and metal oxides are currently being used for limited oxidation protection at temperatures exceeding 1200°C. However, problems exist for all current coatings and potential future coatings because of thermochemical instability at elevated temperatures. Thermochemical equilibrium calculations for reactions between oxides and carbides of the same metal system were used to predict the stability of the associated interfaces. The systems examined were carbon and oxygen in combination with five metals (Si, Ti, Ta, Hf, and Zr). The SiO2/SiC system was determined to be the best choice up to about 1700°C, because of optimization of properties, while at higher temperatures, HfO2/HfC and ZrO2/ZrC systems appear to be more stable thermodynamically, although high thermal expansion coefficient and oxidation rate, for each carbide, may make them less physically compatible.


The relations between the number of microorganisms and processing pressure and holding time in UHP treatment to clarified apple juice were investigated.The numbers of total bacteria,mold and yeast in clarified apple juice were measured after pressure treatment at 100-500 MPa for 5-30 min.The results showed that the bactericidal effect was improved with the increase of pressure level and pressure-holding time.Mold and yeast were more sensitive to high hydrostatic pressure.The linear model was used to fit the survival curve.The correlation coefficients(R2) were more than 0.950 determined at five pressure levels,which proved that linear model was suitable for the kinetic analysis of bacterial inactivation.


Pregnant and parenting adolescents represent a unique and challenging problem for educational systems. Of the 17,051 women who become pregnant every day in America, 2,795 or 167. of them are adolescents. The self-esteem and locus of control of 85 pregnant and parenting teens enrolled in the Ohio Graduation, Reality, Dual Role Skills (GRADS) Program were measured and compared to the scores of 85 non-parenting peers. Self-esteem was measured using Rosenburg's Self-Esteem Scale. Locus of control was measured by Rotter's lnternal-External Locus of Control Scale. No significant differences in the mean scores were discovered. This slpported the assumption that involvement in the GRADS Program allowed pregnant and parenting teens to retain a level of self-esteem and locus of control equivalent to their non-parenting peers. The results of this study substantiate the worth of in-school support groups for high risk adolescents.

INTRODICTIONSince 1985, not resorbable crystalline osteoconductive hydroxyapatite (HA) granules were interposed on the interface between bone and bone cement at the cementation (Interface Bioactive Bone Cement: IBBC) of total hip arthoplasty (THA) to prevent generation of connective tissue and osteolysis for the longevity of cemented THA. To prevent the patients from infection, we are planning to use b-tricalcium phosphate (Beta-TCP) impregnated with antibiotics along with HA granules. However, there have been no reports on the loading and release of antibiotics from fine granules of Beta-TCP. Here, we have investigated the loading of antibiotics on Beta-TCP and their release in vivo.MATERIALS AND METHODSBeta-TCP was impregnated with antibiotics such as flomoxef sodium (F), vancomycin hydrochloride (V) cefotiam dihydrochloride (C) and cefozopran hydrochloride (CE) under normal or reduced pressure. After washing with PBS three times, Beta-TCP loaded with the antibiotic was placed in PBS. An aliquot of solu...

We report Ge nanocrystals (NCs) based dual functional light emitting and metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) flash memory devices, fabricated by rf sputtering. Transmission electron micrographs revealed the formation of spherically shaped Ge NCs. We have observed broad electroluminescence (EL) around 760 nm, which is attributed to electron–hole recombination in quantum confined Ge NCs. The dependence of integrated EL intensity on drive currents has also been studied. An anti‐clockwise hysteresis behaviour is observed in capacitance–voltage measurements of MIS devices for different sweep voltages, indicating net electron trapping in NC based floating gates.


This paper presents a static generation expansion planning formulation in which operational and investment decisions for a wide range of technologies are co-optimized from a centralized perspective. The location, type and quantity of new generation and storage capacities are provided such that system demand and flexibility requirements are satisfied. Depending on investments in new intermittent renewables (wind, PV), the flexibility requirements are adapted in order to fully capture RES integration costs and ensure normal system operating conditions. To position candidate units, we incorporate DC constraints, nodal demand and production of existing generators as well as imports and exports from other interconnected zones. To show the capabilities of the formulation, high-temporal resolution simulations are conducted on a 162-bus system consisting of the full Swiss transmission grid and aggregated neighboring countries.


Abstract. Sukmantoro W, Suyitno A, Mulyadi, Gunaryadi D, Seno A, Kusuma AI, Darwis. 2021. Population, distribution, and habitat of Bornean Elephant in Tulin Onsoi, Nunukan District, Indonesia based on dung counts. Biodiversitas 22: 311-319. The survey on population, distribution, and habitat of Bornean elephants is very important because it reduces the information gap about Bornean elephants' population and distribution. In more detail, the study can be used for updating information and the needs of local government in a spatial plan based on biodiversity conservation. The survey of Bornean Elephant was conducted in Tulin Onsoi Subdistrict, Nunukan District, North Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, starting in February 2018 to May 2019. The survey area's scopes are Agison, Sibuda, Apaan, and Tampilon sub-water catchment areas in 34 (5 x 5 km2) grids with a total of 850 km2.  The occupancy method with perpendicular line transect was used in this study. In the survey, the number of traces was 52 finding points with a total of 241 traces. The elephant dung identified in the dung piles (one-time defecation) was in 29 finding points with a total of 38 dung piles (0.22 dung piles per km). Based on Distance 6.0 and involved the formula of the elephant population's density with standard defecation and dung decay ratio, the elephant population density in the Tulin Onsoi is between 4.8-5.7 individuals/100 km2. Minimum convex polygon (MCP)-qHull showed that the area of ??the elephant habitat is 253.12 km2 in Tulin Onsoi sub-district. Generally, the habitat conditions for the location are old secondary forests (37 %). Meanwhile, other habitats included in the survey area are primary forest, shrubs, and plantations, including community agriculture and roads. In the strategy of managing the Bornean elephant, efforts to stabilize or increase population are important things to do. Conservation-based spatial planning and close monitoring for the protection of small populations of this species and its threats, are options that can be selected for present and future in North Kalimantan.


Image Compression generally refers to reducing the size of an image for the purpose of minimizing storage space as well as reducing the transfer time when transmitted over the network. Compression is very useful in medical imaging as a large quantity of storage is needed for storing medical images which can further be delivered for diagnosis. An appropriate technique for compression is needed for saving storage capacity as well as network bandwidth. It is also necessary that the valuable information should not be lost after compression of an image. In this paper various techniques of lossless image compression for medical images have been reviewed. The evaluation of performance is based on the parameter compression ratio.


Abstract: This paper explores whether several formerly uncommon aquatic mosses and liverworts have increased in abundance in Central New York, or have been overlooked.


A key claim of this book is that medical ethics should be regarded as the profession's commitment to society. The book's goal was therefore to explain that a good doctor is someone who identifies with the standards of medical professionalism, is committed to fulfilling the duties of the profession, and seeks the trust of patients and society in every action. After summarizing that position, this chapter addresses issues that were sidestepped along the way to avoid complicating the presentation. As a concluding thought, the impacts of structural elements of today's medicine are discussed: clinical practice arrangements, healthcare financing arrangements, and institutional arrangements. Thoughts are also shared on why medical ethics is important, what makes for a good account of medical ethics, and why good work in medical ethics must avoid the pitfalls of being incoherent, not illuminating, inaccurate, unreasonable, inconsistent, and uninformed.

Systematic scientific research on highway capacity started in Finland during the 1960s. From the beginning, vehicle speeds have been actively studied. In the 1970s a wide before-and-after analysis of general road section speed limits was done followed by an analysis of lowered wintertime speed limits during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Highway capacity, on two-lane roads and on motorways, has been actively researched especially in the 1980s and 1990s. At the moment three-lane highways (with the centre lane given alternatel for one direction of flow only) and exceptionally widelanes on two-lane highways are being demonstrated and studied. A special project of wintertime effects on traffic is going on and a traffic monitoring system of 180 automatic speed and flow measuring points in use for census and research purposes. New research on signalised and non-signalised intersections is starting, partly to update capacity values and partly to calibrate and validate the Finnish HUTSIM microscopic simulation program. Interest in simulation is growing and among others, the Australian TRARR program has been in traffic flow research. (a)


Significance Building nanoscale materials in a predictable way is a major goal in broad fields of molecular engineering. In pursuing that goal, protein molecules are gaining interest as a source of structurally defined, self-assembling building blocks, but methods and geometric rules for how they might be combined into novel materials have not been fully laid out yet. This work brings together ideas from structural biology, geometry, and group theory to articulate a complete rule set that describes all the kinds of protein-based materials that can be created by combining separate oligomeric components, thereby laying the foundation for an emerging area of science and biotechnology. Diverse efforts in protein engineering are beginning to produce novel kinds of symmetric self-assembling architectures, from protein cages to extended two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) crystalline arrays. Partial theoretical frameworks for creating symmetric protein materials have been introduced, but no complete system has been articulated. Only a minute fraction of the possible design space has been explored experimentally, in part because that space has not yet been described in theory. Here, in the form of a multiplication table, we lay out a complete rule set for materials that can be created by combining two chiral oligomeric components (e.g., proteins) in precise configurations. A unified system is described for parameterizing and searching the construction space for all such symmetry-combination materials (SCMs). In total, 124 distinct types of SCMs are identified, and then proven by computational construction. Mathematical properties, such as minimal ring or circuit size, are established for each case, enabling strategic predictions about potentially favorable design targets. The study lays out the theoretical landscape and detailed computational prescriptions for a rapidly growing area of protein-based nanotechnology, with numerous underlying connections to mathematical networks and chemical materials such as metal organic frameworks.


Stemming reduces numerous variant forms of a word to its base, stem or root form which is essential for different language processing applications including Urdu IR. Urdu is a resource poor and morphologically rich language. Multilingual Urdu vocabulary is very challenging to process due to its complex morphology. Research of Urdu stemming has an age of a decade. However, there has not been any work reported on dictionary based Urdu stemming. The present work introduces a dictionary based Urdu stemmer with improved performance as compared to the existing Urdu stemmers. The significance of the study is the identification of dictionary-based approach for Urdu stemming as the most promising approach, especially with dictionary update feature. Testing shows 94.85% overall accuracy on test data and results can be further improved by cleaning test data and dictionary updates.

Recent research into wind farm control promises the ability to create more densely populated wind farms and improved power production of existing wind farms by controlling for wake interactions between turbines. In this paper, a computationally efficient Discrete time Stochastic and Dynamic model (DStoDyn) is developed using of a wide sense stationary random variable with deterministic mean to model wind direction uncertainties in a wind farm. Comparisons to results obtained from the large eddy simulation software SOWFA show that general wake displacement trends may be represented by DStoDyn.


Abstract The authors proposed a simple empirical method to quantitatively calculate the impurity energy levels of transition metal ions doped in different host inorganic crystals. Linear relationships were obtained between the impurity energy level and the reciprocal of the strength of chemical bonds between the impurity cations and anions of host crystals which was defined in terms of the basic atom and bond parameters such as electronegativity, bond length and the number of valence electrons. Based on these linear relationships, the authors calculated the impurity energy levels of transition metal ions in rutile TiO2, III-V and II-VI semiconductors and some perovskite oxides, which are in good agreement with the available experimental values. The quantitative relationships established in current work can serve as an effective tool to predict the impurity energy levels, which will provide guidance in tuning the functional properties of inorganic crystal materials.


Scott Shaw's very pertinent and well taken comment in the Fall 1984 issue of the Bulletin prompted me to reread Slater's excerpt from an address presented by him at the 1978 ESA Annual Meeting in Houston, Tex. (Spring 1984 Bulletin). I, again found little more than questions, questions, and more questions, and very little about the "Place of Systematics in Contemporary Society." There was indeed a compilation of the relative percentages of papers on systematics and other branches of entomology that appeared in the Annals from 1938 to 1978, but that is hardly indicative of the place of systematics in contemporary society. Systematics, or perhaps better taxonomy, is, like all science, international; writings concerning it appear in a vast number of publications of all kinds-organizational, academic, governmental, and other in many languages. Data for one of the publications of one society is certainly of little significance for "contemporary society." And that data does not even include the Miscellaneous Publications and the Memoirs of the ESA, both of which are very important and largely systematic.


SINGH, S. J., and S. S. SOKHI. 1980. Pathogenic variability in Uromyces viciae-fabae. Plant Disease 64:671-672. Seven isolates of Uromyces viciae-fabae causing rust of pea were differentiated into six pathotypes, based on differential reactions of 15 pea, sweet pea, and lentil hosts.


This in vitro study compared the shear bond strength (SBS) and antibacterial efficacy of an orthodontic adhesive containing either cinnamon or titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs). A total sample of 120 freshly extracted teeth was randomly divided into three groups, according to the type of NPs incorporated into adhesive for metallic orthodontic brackets' bonding: group 1—conventional orthodontic adhesive (TXT) as a control; group 2—conventional orthodontic adhesive mixed with TiO2 NPs (TXT + TNP); and group 3—conventional orthodontic adhesive mixed with cinnamon NPs (TXT + CNP). The SBS and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores were evaluated and compared between the groups. The antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans for all the groups was assessed via a disc agar diffusion test. Data comparisons among groups were performed by ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Antibacterial efficacy comparison between the experimental groups was performed via an independent t-test. The significance level for all the tests was set at p ≤ 0.05. The highest mean SBS values (10.11 ± 1.88 MPa) were in the TXT control group followed by TXT + TNP (9.40 ± 1.78 MPa), and the lowest SBS was in the TXT + CNP (8.99 ± 1.77 MPa) group. The mean SBS among the experimental groups was non-significant (p = 0.241). Antibacterial effects significantly increased (p ≤ 0.05) in both experimental groups. However, TXT + TNP revealed a significantly higher antibacterial effect (p = 0.021) than TXT + CNP. In conclusion, incorporating cinnamon or TiO2 NPs into an orthodontic adhesive improves its antibacterial effects without compromising the bond strength for clinical purposes.


DNA-binding proteins are very important to many biomolecular functions.
The traditional experimental methods are expensive and time-consuming, so, computational methods
that can predict whether a protein is a DNA-binding protein or not are very helpful to researchers.
Machine learning has been widely used in many research areas. Many researchers have proposed machine
learning methods for DNA-binding protein prediction, and this paper highlights their advantages
and disadvantages.

There are many computational methods that can predict DNA-binding proteins. Every
method uses different features and different classifier algorithms. In this paper, a review of these
methods is provided to find out some common procedures that can help researchers to develop more
accurate methods.

Firstly, the information stored in the protein sequence and gene sequence is presented. That
information is the basis to find out the patterns leading to binding. Then, feature extraction methods
and classifier algorithms are discussed. At last, some commonly used benchmark datasets are analysed
and evaluated by methods.

In this review, we analyzed some popular computational methods to predict DNAbinding
protein. From those methods, we highlighted many features necessary to build up an accurate
DNA-binding protein classifier. This can also help researchers to build up more useful computational
tools. Currently, there are some machine learning methods with good performance in predicting DNAbinding
proteins. The performance can be improved by using different kinds of features and classifiers.


Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of needle embedding in treating postherpetic neuralgia. Method Forty-four patients with postherpetic neuralgia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 22 each. The treatment group was intervened by needle embedding, while the control group was by medication. The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses. Result The total effective rate was 90.9% and 95.4% respectively after 1 and 2 treatment course in the treatment group, versus 59.1% and 68.2% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P0.01). Conclusion Needle embedding is an effective approach in treating postherpetic neuralgia.


In the early part of the twentieth century, many industrialized materials such as solvents, fuels, synthetic fibers, and chemical products were made from plant/crop-based resources (Figure 1.1) [1, 2]. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case and most of today's industrial materials, including fuels, polymers, chemicals, carbons, pharmaceuticals, packing, construction, and many others, are being manufactured from fossil-based resources. Humankind is still living mentally in a world where petroleum resources have absolute power. However, crude oil resources are rapidly diminishing. It is predicted that this will lead to serious conflicts in the world related to its distribution and control. What it is of even more concern is that essentially such fossil-fuel-derived products eventually end up as CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere. Several important findings from climate research have been confirmed in recent decades and have finally been accepted as facts by the scientific community. These include a rapid increase in the CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere during the last 150 years, from 228 ppm to the 2007 level of 383 ppm [3]. This increase is our own fault and is due to the burning of fossil fuels. What will the world look like in 2050? It is believed that if we continue relying on fossil fuels, we may face an ecological collapse of unprecedented scale due to the degradation of natural capital and loss in ecosystem services. However, we have the capability to reverse this dark and warring perspective of an ecological fiasco, and shape a future where we can live in harmony with nature. For this to happen, scientists have the most important responsibility and joint efforts from multidisciplinary scientific fields are of upmost importance to achieve this goal.


Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, with the manifestation of recurrent and severe episodes of acute metabolic decompensation or a variety of long-term complications that require timely treatment.As liver transplantation (LT) developing widely, it has become an effective treatment for patients with severe MCM deficiency.Although LT does not solve the fundamental problem of gene defect, it can prolong survival, improve the quality of life of patients and reduce recurrent hospitalization rate, as well as lower urine, plasma MMA and propionyl carnitine levels and prevent metabolic stroke.After LT, the metabolism-correcting medications are still partially needed.Neurological symptoms of some patients can be alleviated but renal damage may remain irreversible.The domestic liver transplantation in the treatment of methylmalonic acidemia is being carried out, but there is still a lack of research on the effect of LT on MMA.The paper is to make a review of the clinical value of liver transplantation in the treatment of methylmalonic acidemia in recent years in hope of sharing the information on this issue with more people.

Madhuca is one of the promising tree species suitable for providing oil for biodiesel production. This paper addresses the life cycle energy balance, global warming potential and ecological impact of a small scale biodiesel production in rural Karnataka.The environmental impacts have been benchmarked with the life cycle impacts of fossil diesel. Net Energy Gain has been found to be 17.17 MJ / functional unit. Global warming potential (GWP) was found to be (38.45 gCO2-eq) seven times less than fossil diesel. Acidification and eutrophication potential of Madhuca system was found to be insignificant. It is also observed that one hectare of Madhuca plantation is capable of completely sequestering the CO2 released during the life cycle (0.2 t CO2 / hectare) with additional sequestration potential up to 5.8 t CO2

Changes in length of the polyA tail of an mRNA is determinant for its stability and translation. During oocyte maturation, although some genes are specifically polyadenylated, an important decrease of polyadenylated mRNA is generally observed. Both degradation and de-adenylation can be responsible for this decline but little information about these processes is available yet for in vitro-matured bovine oocytes. Total RNA was extracted from 2 pools of 50 immature and 2 pools of 50 in vitro matured bovine oocytes, after addition of 1 pg of polyadenylated rabbit globin mRNA to each pool. The RNA of each pool was then divided in 8 samples, half of them were reverse-transcribed using hexamers and the other half using oligo(dT). Six genes were amplified in every sample using real-time PCR and specific molecular beacon probes: (1) rabbit globin, an exogenous gene added as a reporter for the efficiency of extraction and RT;; (2) histone H2A, an endogenous gene reporter for RNA quantity and quality in each pool [This housekeeping gene, that is not adenylated, should be maintained at a constant level through the maturation process (Robert et al., 2002 Biol of Reprod. 67, 1425–1472)]; (3) two antioxidant enzymes, peroxyredoxin 6 (PRDX-6) and G6PDH preventing oxidative stress during maturation [PRDX-6 also has a phospholipase A2 activity that could be implicated in prostaglandins synthesis during maturation]; (4) GDF-9, an oocyte-specific gene involved in cumulus expansion during maturation;; and (5) cyclin B1, one subunit of the MPF factor whose activity is required for meiosis resumption. The PCR result of each gene was normalized with the globin value of the same sample. After this standardization, the variability of the results among the 4 samples of a same pool similarly reverse transcribed did not exceed 15%. Within a pool, the mean PCR signal obtained for a specific mRNA using oligo(dT) was compared with the mean signal obtained with hexamers. Results obtained for immature and mature oocytes are reported in the Table 1. Before maturation, the PCR signals were higher when reverse transcription was performed using oligo(dT) instead of hexamers but that was not the case after maturation. Most messengers coding for these genes probably lost their polyA tails during maturation. This loss was much less pronounced for cyclin B1 messengers. Furthermore, for all genes studied, the PCR results obtained after reverse transcription using hexamers and normalized with the histone H2A value did not show a decrease during the maturation process. In conclusion, deadenylation, more than degradation, would be responsible for the disappearance of maternal polyadenylated mRNA during maturation. Table 1 Ratio of the PCR signals obtained after RT with oligo(dT) v. hexamers


Abstract Butane has the potentiality to be a new-era energy source. MILD combustion can be realised by jet flame in vitiated co-flow. Lift-off height is an important parameter of jet flame in vitiated co-flow. This study aimed at understanding the effects of co-flow condition on lift-off characteristics of the butane jet flame. Vitiated co-flow conditions are created with O2-methane pre-combustion, co-flow equivalence ratios of methane/air mixtures changed from 0.5 to 0.7. On the basis of the results, O2 concentration shows main effects on the lift-off height changing tendency versus Rej. The increase of O2 concentration results in a decreasing tendency, while a further increment of O2 concentration stabilises the value of lift-off height. Under the turbulent butane central jet fuel, co-flow rate doesn't show an obvious and monotonous effect on the lift-off height of butane jet flame in vitiated-flow.


The utility model relates to an improved traveling block for a self-lifting type upright derrick, which belongs to a member in a petroleum drill. The utility model is characterized in that hinge branch seats of a pair of connection lifting ropes are symmetrically welded at shoulder parts of two side plates of the traveling block. The connection point of the lifting ropes and the traveling block is upwards moved to the shoulder part of the traveling block from the original large hook position of the traveling block by the improvement when the derrick is installed, which makes lifting space largely enhanced, solves the problem that the first time lifting space is not enough when the traveling block is adopted to lift and install the derrick, and makes the installation of the derrick reach the purposes of convenience, safety and economy.


Cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factor clustering has its roots in childhood and the presence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors in younger populations has been linked with early vascular dysfunction. A DASH-style eating pattern has been shown to reduce blood pressure and other selected cardiometabolic outcomes, primarily in adults, but its role in the development of CMR clustering during adolescence has not been studied. Data from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Growth and Health Study (NGHS) will be used to evaluate the relation between early-to-mid adolescent dietary intake and CMR clustering at the end of adolescence. The NGHS began in 1987-1988 with the enrollment of 2,379 adolescent girls (with approximately equal numbers of blacks and whites), ages 9-10 years. Diet was assessed using 3-day diet records during eight of 10 years of follow up. A total of 1,369 girls had complete data on diet, all potential confounding variables, and follow-up over 10 years for all CMR factors of interest. Risk factor clustering scores were created by summing individual CMR outcomes defined as follows: waist circumference ≥88 cm, systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90th percentile for age, sex and height, LDL ≥110 mg/dL, HDL However, the types of risk factors differed by race with blacks being nearly twice as likely to have an increased waist size, elevated BP, or insulin resistance and white girls being much more likely to have abnormal lipid levels, particularly elevated triglyceride levels. By the end of adolescence, only 30.1% of girls had no abnormal CMR factors and 34.9% had a single risk factor; 16.6% of girls had two risk factors and 18.4% had between 3-6 prevalent risk factors. Higher intakes of fruit and non-starchy vegetables, dairy, and grains were independently associated with less CMR clustering. After adjusting for age, race, socio-economic status, height, physical activity, and television watching, girls with a DASH-style eating pattern during early-to-mid adolescence were nearly 50% less likely to have three or more CMR factors (O.R.=0.52; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.89) by late adolescence (at 18-20 years of age). These results suggest a DASH-style eating pattern during adolescence, characterized by higher intakes of fruit, non-starchy vegetables, and dairy, may lower risk for the development of subsequent cardiometabolic disorders.


The ECCO instrument is one of two instruments which comprise the HNX mission. The principal goal of ECCO (the Extremely-heavy Cosmic-ray Composition Observer) is to measure the age of galactic cosmic ray nuclei using the actinides (Th, U, Pu, Cm) as clocks. As a bonus, ECCO will search with unprecedented sensitivity for longlived elements in the superheavy island of stability. ECCO is an enormous array (23 m2 ) of BP-1 glass track-etch detectors, and is based on the successful flight heritage of the Trek detector which was deployed externally on Mir. We present a description of the instrument, estimates of expected performance, and recent calibrations which demonstrate that the actinides can be resolved from each other with good charge resolution.


This paper explores the incorrect description of the prescription regarding the fire alarm in some textbooks based on the author's years of experience and the way to shorten the time of fire alarm and extinguish the fire on board with aim to minimize the fire losses, which is difficult to put out because of its special environment. This paper can act as a guideline in fire-fighting if accepted.


Objective
To test the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) during acute lung injury (ALI)/ acute respiratory distress syndome (ARDS) after the interference with anticoagulation and fibrinolytic in an attempt to find a possible treatment plan for ALI/ARDS.

Methods
Oleic acid-induced ALI models were used in this study. A total of 96 rats were randomly assigned oleic acid group, salvianolate group, urokinase group, and saline group according to the random number table, with 24 animals per group. In oleic acid group, oleic acid (0.2 ml/kg, caudally) was administered alone. In addition to the oleic acid, the rats in salvianolate and urokinase groups received caudal injection with 10 ml/kg of 0.06% salvianolate and 5, 000 U/kg of urokinase respectively. In saline group, saline solution with an equal volume of oleic acid was caudally administered alone. Effect of the early use of salvianolate and urokinase on levels of VEGF in BALF was measured. Clinically, patients with ALI/ARDS composing survivor and death groups were enrolled and assessed by acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) score. Besides, healthy population was included as the controls to comparatively analyze the levels of VEGF in BALF in ALI/ARDS group.

Results
Of the rat models of ALI, early use of salvianolate or urokinase was associated with elevated level of VEGF in BALF(P<0.05), which subsequently attenuated the lung injury. In the clinical research, it was found that the level of VEGF in BALF in ALI/ARDS group was much lower than that in control group [(45.9±5.7)pg/ml vs (60.6±4.5)pg/ml] (P<0.01). The level of VEGF in BALF was negatively correlated with APACHEⅡor MODS scores(r=-0.542, -0.659, P<0.01). Moreover, patients in death group appeared lower VEGF level in BALF than those in survivor group(t=2.68, P<0.05).

Conclusion
VEGF level in BALF can be taken as an indicator of patient condition and outcome. Early use of anticoagulation or thrombolytic drugs may play a positive role on patients with ALI/ARDS.

According to the Article 121 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, islands are entitled maritime zones as mainland territory. However, rocks without socio-economic attributes cannot have its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf. The Spratly Islands dispute is mainly about the resources competition in the waters around those islands and rocks(thus defining the legal status of those geographic features within Spratly Islands is the key solution to the sovereignty dispute). This article namely interprets the international law related to the legal status of islands and rocks, then analyses the geographic information and economic value of the islands and rocks within the Spratly Islands, so as to define their legal status, therefore provides a theoretical basis for the protecting of China's maritime rights and interests in South China Sea area.


To solve the relationship between control and feedback control in petroleum system, this paper studies the hydrocarbon generation, expulsion, migration and accumulation (HGEMA) processes as one system which takes each process as a subsystem, analyses and determines the control and feedback control factors, the threshold value and delay time of each geological effect in these subsystems adopting the theory and method of system dynamics from multi-factor complex control characteristics. The system dynamics feedback loops of HGEMA were designed. On the basis of 3D corner point grid model (CPGM), the paper investigates HGEMA process and its 3D numerical simulation method. Using chemical-dynamic-generation, compact-expulsion and labyrinth-style-migration-accumulation methods, it researches, develops and integrates the simulation system, which was applied in Niuzhuang-Wangjiagang-block of Dongying-sag-area. Satisfactory results were obtained. The paper promotes the petroleum system dynamics simulation from 2D to 3D, which supplements, improves and perfects the system of theories and methodologies for petroleum system dynamics.

Today monoculture farming is the standard for industrialized agriculture. It allows producing food on a large scale. Nevertheless, a significant drawback is the loss of diversity. Polyculture farming mitigates this issue while benefiting from reducing the demand for resources, such as water. However, polyculture farming is a complex task as it has to consider multiple growth characteristics, and the environment is often only partially observable. This work addresses the challenge of automating polyculture farming using a first-order simulator to identify efficient treatment policies. We utilize randomized environment dynamics combined with a reinforcement-learning-based approach to developing a policy that increases garden coverage and diversity in simulation. We add a network architecture with a memory layer to the utilized Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm to overcome garden configurations that are only partially observable due to occlusion. In simulation experiments, the policy outperforms the previous state-of-the-art heuristic policy. Our simulation experiments serve as a groundwork for real-world application.

Recent very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) measurements of the astrometric parameters of the millisecond pulsar J0218+4232 by Du et al. have suggested that this pulsar is as distant as 6.3 kpc. At such a large distance, the large gamma-ray flux observed from this pulsar would make it the most luminous gamma-ray pulsar known. This luminosity would exceed what can be explained by the outer gap and slot-gap pulsar emission models, potentially placing important and otherwise elusive constraints on the pulsar emission mechanism. We show that the VLBI parallax measurement is dominated by the Lutz-Kelker bias. When this bias is corrected for, the most likely distance for this pulsar is 3.15(-0.60)(+0.85) kpc. This revised distance places the luminosity of PSR J0218+4232 into a range where it does not challenge any of the standard theories of the pulsar emission mechanism.


Summary form only given, as follows. Parallel computing has become ubiquitous and relates to challenging computational problems in science via business-driven computing to mobile computing. The scope has widened dramatically over the last decade. This panel will debate and speculate on how the parallel computing landscape is expected to change in the years to come.

Investigations of fluorescent lamps (FL) are often focused on the electrodes, since the lifetime of the lamps is typically limited by the electrode lifetime and durability. During steady state operation, the work function lowering emitter material, in particular, barium, is lost. Greater barium losses occur under dimming conditions, in which reduced discharge currents lead to increased cathode falls, the result of the otherwise diminished heating of the electrode by the bombarding plasma ions. In this work the barium density near the electrodes of (FL), operating in high frequency dimming mode is investigated using the high-sensitivity method of laser-induced fluorescence. From these measurements we infer barium loss for a range of discharge currents and auxiliary coil heating currents. We show that the Ba loss can very easily be reduced by moderate auxiliary coil heating.


Abstract The porosity and loss of properties that usually follows incipient melting of grain boundary phases during heat treatment or welding is suggested to be the result of the expansion accompanying melting, which is not reversed on resolidification because of the opening of extrinsic defects introduced during casting that the author has called bifilms. The asymmetry of melted phases, and techniques that can avoid the degradation of properties are consistent with this hypothesis.


Correlations of scores on the Eysenck Personality Inventory with those on the Gordon Personal Profile (for 160 university undergraduates) and with the Gordon Personal Inventory (for 260 undergraduates) showed that Eysenck and Eysenck's Extraversion and Neuroticism bear reasonably close correspondence to Gordon's Sociability and Emotional Stability.


The Sierpinski tetrahedron is used to construct evolving networks, whose vertexes are all solid regular tetrahedra in the construction of the Sierpinski tetrahedron up to the stage t and any two vertexes are neighbors if and only if the corresponding tetrahedra are in contact with each other on boundary. We show that such networks have the small-world and scale-free effects, but are not fractal scaling.


The modern legal education is a process of exploiting the ethic sentiment and tempering oneself in respect of ethic ability. The legal ethics consists of the interior ethic structure that forms the legal system and the external legal professional behavior ethics that operates the legal system. The aim of legal ethics education is to raise the ethic consciousness and develop the ethic reasoning and selecting ability. To realize the aim, legal education ideas should be transformed and the education styles be renewed.


Participation of national and ethnic minorities in Polish political life after 1989The participation of national and ethnic minorities in Polish political life after 1989 is one of the achievements of democratic Poland. Tracing the history of minority participation in local and parliamentary elections after 1990 makes it clear that this history is dominated by the German minority. However, this does not mean that other minorities did not participate in political competition at the local, regional or national level, but rather that their participation was clearly more modest compared to the German minority. Participation in the political life of other minorities has mainly a local dimension, although these communities do not choose to participate in their own ethnic election committees. Perhaps their identity does not require confirmation in their political activities and preferences.


The calculus of differential forms can be used to devise a unified description of discrete differential forms of any order and polynomial degree on simplicial meshes in any spatial dimension. A general formula for suitable degrees of freedom is also available. Fundamental properties of nodal interpolation can be established easily. It turns out that higher order spaces, including variants with locally varying polynomial order, emerge from the usual Whitney-forms by local augmentation. This paves the way for an adaptive p-version approach to discrete differential forms.

Adrenal crisis is a life‐threatening emergency that causes significant excess mortality in patients with adrenal insufficiency. Delayed recognition by medical staff of an impending adrenal crisis and failure to give timely hydrocortisone therapy within the emergency department continue to be commonly encountered, even in metropolitan teaching hospitals. Within the authors' institutions, several cases of poorly handled adrenal crises have occurred over the last 2 years. Anecdotal accounts from members of the Addison's support group suggest that these issues are common in Australia. This manuscript is a timely reminder for clinical staff on the critical importance of the recognition, treatment and prevention of adrenal crisis. The manuscript: (i) outlines a case and the clinical outcome of sub‐optimally managed adrenal crisis, (ii) summarises the clinical features and acute management of adrenal crisis, (iii) provides recommendations on the prevention of adrenal crisis and (iv) provides guidance on the management of 'sick days' in patients with adrenal insufficiency.


The primary target of this work is to study different methods utilized as a part of the field of information spread in Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET). In vehicular specially appointed systems information exchange is regularly finished with the assistance of multi-hop correspondence in which the fast vehicles are going about as the information transporter. The vehicles are obliged to proceed onward distinct way relying upon the street design and the activity conditions. In vehicular specially appointed system multi-hop information conveyance is extremely convoluted occupation due to the high portability and regular separations happening in the vehicular systems. The greatest test in vehicular impromptu systems is the gathering of data like mishap, speed restricts, any impediment on street, street condition, movement condition, business ad, and so on, for the security and accommodation reason. In numerous spread strategies, the vehicle conveys the parcel until it finds whatever another vehicle in his range which is moving towards the bearing of the goal and afterward it advances the bundle to that vehicle. Since the street formats are now characterized, the vehicle chooses the following street having least inactivity to forward the parcel to the goal. We can just compute the probabilistic gauge what way ought to be taken after for limiting postpone so that restricted accessible transmission capacity can be effectively used.

The teaching of mathematics in Swedish schools has, for several years, been criticised for not accomplishing adequate results (Sandström, 2007). There are probably a vast set of reasons for this. Research has shown that children who don't get the correct and enough attention early on in their development of mathematical thinking, may lose the ability to attain other basic knowledge later on. One of the most important factors to get a grip on is number sense (Sharon A. Grifn, 1994). Basically, number sense is the ability to understand how di erent numbers relate to each other in magnitude (i.e. that one set is bigger or smaller than another), that numbers can be added or subtracted and the capacity to choose proper tools for doing so. This is knowledge that later on should become intuitive. The project under which this master thesis work was carried out, aimed to produce a computer game, promoting number sense. The target group of the game was children of ages four to seven.


Apple leaf miner Lyonetia clerkella is a key pest particularly in the late spring and early summer in Kashmir where it causes severe damage to the apple trees followed by heavy defoliation prior to harvest. This species overwinters in the adult stage from November onwards in the valley of Kashmir and the moths were seen active in April at the time of apple blossom. These moths lay eggs in the third week of April and the first larval mines make their appearance in the last week of April and continue to grow till the second week of May and the first generation was completed up to the 4 th week of May. During this period, abundance of mines was seen on the apple foliage. This species then produced five generations in a single year and the adult moths of the final brood overwintered in November. The pest completed its life cycle in about 35-60 days. However, the density of infestation rose to its peak from the first week of May till the 3 rd

In proton collisions at the LHC, top quarks can be produced in pairs via the strong interaction and individually via the weak interaction. The weak interaction production can be subdivided into three channels: the t -channel, the s -channel and the associated production of a W boson and a top quark. The total production cross-section of these three channels is about one third of the total top quark production cross-section. The t -channel is dominant and has been measured both at the Tevatron and the LHC. However, the Wt associated production has not yet been observed. Different final states can be used to isolate the associated Wt production from background processes, depending on the decay modes of the two W bosons. The channel with two leptons is analysed by ATLAS to present evidence for Wt associated production at √ s = 7 TeV. The measurement uses a boosted decision tree to separate signal from background.


RECENTLY, in this country, there has been a revival of interest in the demonstration of mucosal patterns in the stomach and duodenum, as an aid in establishing the normal and abnormal in gastric and duodenal diagnosis. This paper will attempt to demonstrate the possibility of a modification of the sedimentation method, by no means a new idea, but one which represents a slight departure from those used in the past. Historical Note As early as 1897, Raux and Balthgard, apparently independently and contemporaneously with Walter Cannon in this country, first used a bismuth opaque meal in demonstrating the motor phenomena of the stomach. Holzknecht and his group, in 1898, probably saw fluoroscopically the flow of bismuth opaque meals over the gastric rugae. In 1906, they used a watery suspension of bismuth subnitrate in the preliminary part of the fluoroscopic study of the stomach (10 grams bismuth subnitrate in 50 grams of water, to which was added a tablespoonful of milk sugar). Palpation of the stomach in th...


This thesis presents the design and manufacturing of a new morphing wing system realized at the Laboratory of Research in Active Controls, Avionics and AeroServoElasticity (LARCASE). This morphing wing system can morph the camber of the wing by modifying its trailing and leading edges. To allow this modification, slots were made in the ribs of the wing, which made them flexible according to the theory of compliant mechanism. The structural strength of the wing was studied with the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) module of Catia V5 software by considering a pressure distribution on the wing surface. The aerodynamic performance of the morphing system was analyzed with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) module in Ansys-Fluent. The functionality of the morphing system was verified by static tests in the workshop, then by dynamic tests using the LARCASE Price-Paidoussis subsonic wind tunnel. The results obtained from the wind tunnel tests have show that the morphing wing system made it possible to maintain control of the aircraft while reducing its drag. The morphing system made it possible to keep constant the mass of the wing, and it did not require excessive power consumption. Thus, the design for a wing deformation system presented in this thesis is a good option to allow the manufacturing of morphing wings for the aircraft to improve its aerodynamic performance. This design allowed us to reduce fuel consumption, increase the maximum flight time or increase the payload of the aircraft.


The paper describes the emergence of entrepreneurship in Shanxi province based on fieldwork in the last 6 years. Employing institutional and evolutionary economics shows that both the kind of firms that emerge and the individual behaviour of entrepreneurs reflect a systematic response to the situational constraint all would-be entrepreneurs face, namely a high level of uncertainty and weak institutions. In this situation to establish firms with a weak organisational identity allows to flexibly respond to new opportunities, while a strong reputation for accountability of the owners and managers is needed to get long term business relations started. As the Shanxi sample shows accountability can be achieved by a mix of reviving old economic institutions, hijacking social organisations, and building new business practices. To the extent that old institutions, social organisations and business practices do not spread equally across China, different forms of firms and different forms of entrepreneurship can be expected within China. In short, local cultures matter.


In this study, palaeoflood hydrological and sedimentary investigations were carried out in the Yiluohe River basin. Typical loess- soil stratigraphy of the Holocene period was identified at the Longmenxia(LMX) site in the Yihe River basin. Based on the analysis of sedimentary characteristics, magnetic susceptibility and particle-size distribution, the five flood slackwater deposits were identified and interbedded into the loess- soil stratigraphy. By the stratigraphic correlation and the optically stimulated luminescence method(OSL), the four episodes of flooding events occurred at 3100- 3000 a BP, 1800- 1700 a BP, 770- 610 a BP and420-340 a BP, respectively, namely at the end of the mid-Holocene Climatic Optimum and the beginning of the late Holocene, the dynasties of Eastern Han to Western Jin, Song-Yuan and the Ming- Qing, respectively. These flooding events might include the AD223 and 1761 flooding events and they well corresponded to the phase of the Holocene monsoonal shift, climatic abrupt change and climatic decline. The flooding peak stages were estimated with the elevations and the depositional depths of the SWD. According to the flood peak stages and hydraulic parameters, the peak discharges were reconstructed at 14100-15800 m3/s with the slopearea method. The reconstructed peak discharges of the flooding events are much more than those of the gauged modern floods at the Longmenxia gauge station in the middle reach of the Yihe River.


In the present report, the generating mechanism of the orthostatic dysregulation (O.D.) was studied by noninvasive approaches. 1. Two groups of children, 47 healthy subjects and 28 patients with O.D., ranging from 7 to 13 years of age were selected. 2. They were examined at rest in the supine position horizontally and in the 20 head up tilt position on a tilted flat table. The microvibration (MV) on the scalp was used as a mean €or estimating cardiac output and the plethysmogram (PTG) was 3. used for estimating peripheral resistance. When changing the position, the amplitude in the dominant vibration of MV was smaller in the O.D. patients than that in the healthy children, while the primary wave of the PTG didn't decrease in the O.D. patients. 5. From the above-mentioned results, it seems to be likely that so-called O.D. will be caused by disharmony of the cardiac output with the peripheral vascular resistance, when changing the position. 4.


This paper analyses how different schemes of coordination between the fiscal and monetary authority affect the adjustment path of the economy to shocks, using a short run general equilibrium model with an inflation target regime and endogenous country risk. The fiscal authority may behave actively, exogenously setting the primary surplus, or passively, adjusting it to changes in the public debt. The monetary authority may include, or not, the public debt in its loss function. Combinations of these possibilities define four coordination regimes that result in different reactions functions for the Central Bank. Shocks simulations, with Brazilian data, show interesting results: Coordination regimes with the public debt in the Central Bank loss function are redundant, because the reaction function is derived taking into account all economic constraints, including the perverse impact of interest rates on inflation via country risk; Another, and the most important, result is that in regimes in which the fiscal authority reacts to changes in public debt increasing the primary surplus, the adjustment path of the variables to external shocks tend to be, in almost all cases, less volatile indicating a more efficient Central Bank. In these regimes the Central Bank doesn't have to assume tasks that are inherent to the Treasury and the economy behaves in a similar way to an economy with exogenous country risk.


Graph algorithms that are based on the computation of one or more paths are often written in an implicitly non-deterministic way, which suggests that the result of the algorithm does not depend on a particular path, but any path that satisfies a given property. Such algorithms provide an additional challenge in typical implementations, because one needs to replace the non-determinism with an actual implementation. In this paper we explore the effects of using non-determinism explicitly in the functional logic programming language Curry. To that end we consider three algorithms and implement them in a prototypically non-deterministic fashion.


Abstract Objectives: Ischemic stroke is the main neurological cause of acquired incapability in adults and a prominent cause of mortality. Several association studies have been conducted to explore the role of candidate genes in this neurological condition. Methods: In the present study, we aimed at identification of association between Glutamate Metabotropic Receptor 7 (GRM7) and risk of ischemic stroke in Iranian population. Two intronic variants within this gene (rs6782011 and rs779867) were genotyped in 318 sporadic ischemic stroke cases and 300 unrelated, healthy controls individuals. Results: No significant difference was found in allele, genotype or haplotype frequencies of these SNPs between cases and controls after correction for multiple comparisons. Conclusion: Consequently, the assessed GRM7 variants are not implicated in risk of ischemic stroke in Iranian population.


There is an increasing body of literature available on the international legal protection of human rights in Africa, through the United Nations system and the African regional system. There can be little doubt about the importance of the international protection of human rights, but it remains of a subsidiary nature. The first line of defence of human rights norms is the domestic systems of the different countries. It is consequently a matter of concern that very little work is being done to monitor the development of mechanisms for the protection of human rights on the national level on the continent in a systematic way. While the position in some individual countries has been the subject of studies, there is hardly any literature available giving a comparative overview of domestic legal provisions dealing with human rights across the African continent, not even on the entry level of constitutional comparison. This is part of a broader pattern in terms of which African courts very rarely refer to each other, but rather look for authority to Europe and North America. This study tries to address this situation, by giving an overview of the constitutional recognition of human rights norms in all the countries of Africa. The aim with this article is to provide researchers who wish to engage in the gigantic task of comparing the domestic practice of human rights in African countries on all levels (through constitutional human rights legislation, national human rights institutions, court cases etc) with a starting point, and to identify some of the contours of the territory to be covered in such a broader study. An issue of much current attention is the impact of international human rights treaties at the domestic level. It has been pointed out that one of the ways in which these treaties have their strongest impact is the indirect avenue of having their standards included within national constitutions. In addition to the objective outlined above, this study attempts to trace the extent to which this has been done in African constitutions. The international instruments that will be considered are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 (UDHR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights 1966 (ICESCR),


Demographic research shows that, in Europe, fertility takes place later and is lower in cities than in rural areas. One might expect fertility to be delayed in urban areas because of longer periods in education and enhanced career opportunities. We, therefore, examine how prevalent later fertility (35+ and 40+) is along the urban–rural axis, and whether differences can be explained by economic, cultural and compositional factors. We estimate multilevel random coefficient models, employing aggregated Eurostat data of 1328 Nomenclature des unités territoriales statistiques (NUTS) 3 and 270 NUTS 2 regions from 28 European countries. The urban–rural gradient in later fertility considerably diminishes once factors describing the economic environment, family and gender norms as well as population composition are accounted for. The higher prevalence of later fertility in cities is particularly associated with higher female education, greater wealth and a higher share of employment in high‐technology sectors.


The interactions in the world of the web and the possibilities offered by information and communication technologies are becoming increasingly unlimited and at the same time produce large volumes of data. The management and classification of these data becomes difficult in Many areas. The smart city seeks nature to facilitate the complexity of urban life which faces the same problems and challenges posed by large data due to the diversity and plurality of sectors (political, economic, social, administrative, cultural, etc.), Identify the problem of producing and selecting relevant and customized services, real-time decision making is a problem for users.
 In this contribution, we propose semantic recommendation architecture for service in the smart city, based on the user profile in order to produce relevant services adapted to their preferences, using semantic Web technologies and the Recommendation system.


Objective. The purpose of this article is to identify the regional determinants of the low carbon transition in Russian companies. These determinants are related to human capital and digital technologies development in local economic ecosystems. Methods. The study relies on linear regression methods and examines the impact of education, wages, the use of the broadband Internet, cloud technologies and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems in Russian regions on companies' motivation to manage their carbon dioxide emissions. Results. The results show that human capital has an ambiguous effect on the behavior of companies that support the low carbon transition. On the contrary, the digitalization of regions is significantly and positively associated with the implementation of environmental and energy management practices in Russian companies, especially among service companies. Conclusion. Low carbon transition is becoming an essential component of the national development strategy, as climate resilience issues directly affect the economic performance of production systems. The study considers two types of factors that influence the implementation of management practices for the low-carbon transition: these are human capital and the digitalization of regions.


Recently, emerging approaches have been proposed to deal with robotic navigation problems, especially vision-and-language navigation task which is one of the most realistic indoor navigation challenge tasks. This task can be modelled as a sequential decision-making problem, which is suitable to be solved by deep reinforcement learning. Unfortunately, the observations provided from the simulator in this task are not fully observable states, which exacerbate the difficulty of implementing reinforcement learning. To deal with this challenge, this paper presents a novel method, called as attentive variational state tracker (AVAST), a variational approach to approximate belief state distribution for the construction of a reinforced navigator. The variational approach is introduced to improve generalization to the unseen environment which barely achieved by traditional deterministic state tracker. In order to stabilize the learning procedure, a fine-tuning process using policy optimization is proposed. From the experimental results, the proposed AVAST does improve the generalization relative to previous works in vision-and-language navigation task. A significant performance is achieved without requiring any additional exploration in the unseen environment.


ABBOTT, ISABELLA A. (Hopkins Marine Sta. of Stanford U., Pacific Grove, Calif.) Morphological studies in a new species of Acrosymphyton (Rhodophyceae). Amer. Jour. Bot. 49(8): 845849. Illus. 1962.-Acrosymphyton taylori sp. nov. (Dumontiaceae, Cryptonemiales, Rhodophyceae) is shown to have a sexual cycle essentially similar to that of the 2 other species in the genus, but differs in some details of the sexual structures and the vegetative structure. Acrosymphyton taylori, from the Hawaiian Islands, is the only member of the genus from the Pacific. Acrosymphyton is only one of several genera of red algae possessing soft, gelatinous, uniaxial thalli. A study of specimens from various herbaria showed that specimens of Dudresnaya and Calosiphonia have been confused with Acrosymphyton. SEXUAL reproduction has been known in the red algae since the classical studies of Bornet and Thuret (1867) and forms the basis of current classification in these algae (Kylin, 1956). However, details of the sexual cycle remain to be studied in a large number of species. The purpose of this paper is to furnish details of sexual reproduction in a Hawaiian species of Acrosymphyton and to correlate this knowledge with what is known in the other species in the genus. Acrosymphyton is a member of the Dumontiaceae (Cryptonemiales), a family characterized by being basically uniaxial, and by possessing the specially formed carpogonium and auxiliary cell in different and separate branchlet systems. The sexual structures are distributed throughout the thallus, and fusion must occur between the carpogonium and one of the cells subtending it before subsequent events leading to the formation of the cystocarp can take place (Kylin, 1956). The consequent adjustments necessary for transferring the fertilized nucleus from the carpogonium to the auxiliary cell are the subject of needed investigation in this family, since the variations appear to be great. Acrosymphyton is a sub-tropical genus with but 2 species, A. purpurifera (J. Ag.) Sjostedt, the type, from the Mediterranean, and A. caribaea (J. Ag.) Sjostedt from Florida and Bermuda. A third and new species, A. taylori, from the Hawaiian Islands, is added here. The genus has been studied repeatedly from the point of view of reproductive morphology, IReceived for publication January 29, 1962. 2I am grateful to L. R. Blinks, director of the Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, for my continued use of the facilities of the Station; to G. F. Papenfuss of the University of California, Berkeley, for help with this paper and for the loan of specimens; to M. S. Doty, University of Haw'aii, I. M. Lamb, Farlow Herbarium, and Clark Rogerson, New York Botanical Garden, for the loan of specimens. I am also appreciative of specimens collected by Yoshio Kondo of the Bishop Museum, and of the Latin diagnosis provided by Donald P. Rogers of the University of Illinois. and nothing new to the basic plan of development in the female reproductive cycle is added in this paper. Studying Acrosymphyton purpurifera as Dudresnaya purpurifera, Bornet and Thuret (1867) established the existence of sexuality in the red algae, which was confirmed by Schmitz (1883) and Oltmanns (1904). The species was further studied by Sjostedt (1926) and Kylin (1930). Acrosympthyton caribaea has been studied by Taylor (1952). The 2 species of Acrosymphyton were separated by Sjostedt (1926) from Dudresnaya on the basis of the structure of the carpogonial branch and the auxiliary-cell branch, and the subsequent post-fertilization phenomena exhibited by them. The carpogonial branch is unique in the red algae, for it bears distichous laterals with which fusions (Fig. 5, arrows) occur after fertilization of the carpogonial nucleus. Carpogonial branch fusions occur in other Dumontiaceae but not with laterals on the carpogonial branch. Moreover, the auxiliary-cell branch in Acrosymphyton bears a terminal auxiliary cell, whereas in Dudresnaya the auxiliary cell is intercalary. These characters are thought to be of sufficient importance to warrant generic distinction. ACROSYMPHYTON taylori Abbott, sp. nov.3 (Fig. 1-9).

The guidance for a student to select his appropriate career is given by the Expert system. Generally, the student is assessed by his/her academic excellence which includes his marks, CGPA and percentage in various subjects. Apart from them, the students need to be assessed in different factors like his ability to learning, patience, Intelligence and the problem solving capacity. By assessing him/her in all psychological aspects then the student is competent to know in which suitable job he/she is applicable. In such a way it is easy for a student to select his/her appropriate job and also gives the student's cognitive model. All this process is outcome by using an Expert system called "Finding the Words" game. Keeping in mind the score student has obtained and the average time to complete the game reflects his/her fa stness and capability of problem solving ability. Not only the time also the patience of the student is also reflected by the attempts he make. We can say that the student has great learning ability when his/her score increases day by day. Finally, after assessing all the psychologica l elements of the student, a table is designed with appropriate future careers for student. Also it chooses the best career from the predicted career's by comparing the academic report and the report which is given based upon the psychological elements. The user who is a student play the game with the specialist framework and the framework can evaluate the mental elements of the students knowledge. By playing finding words g ame, evaluating mental components turns out to be simple. A lifelong evaluation framework (master f ramework) can propose reasonable jobs that suit an


An integral furnace mass spectrometer was used to directly observe the products of the reaction of hydrogen with graphite between 1880° and 2430°K at pressures up to 0.5 torr and with 80‐msec contact times. Ions observed to m / e 140 indicate formation of an extensive high‐molecular‐weight hydrocarbon system consisting mainly of unsaturated, acyclic, nonaromatic compounds. Many of these compounds were formed in steady‐state concentrations much greater than expected for equilibrium. A reaction mechanism involving addition and insertion reactions is discussed.


Divisio´n Tejas, Grupo Uralita, SpainThis paper describes the research run on ceramic materials, andmorespecificallyfiredclayrooftiles, groundtoafinenesssuitablefor use as an active replacement for portland cements (PCs). Theutilization of waste products from calcined clay roof tiles as apozzolanic material in the cement manufacture is studied. Oneofthefirstmaterialsusedaspozzo lansinthehistorywasthermal-treated clay, a material similar to the calcined clay precastelements. For this study, the materials selected are clay productsthat have been eliminated for different reasons: a wrong tem-perature inside the kiln, dimensional and mechanical failures, anddurability loss. The results showed that these products have goodpozzolanic properties; at an early age, the pozzolanic activity wasfound to be higher than fly ash, although it was lower than silicafume. The morphology of clay tile–PC pastes are similar to themorphology of the pastes containing other pozzolanic materials.Hydrated calcium aluminate products are generated when thepreparation method yields less compact pastes with a greatervoids' volume to accommodate these products. The hydratedcalcium aluminate phases were analyzed using scanning electro-nic microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.I. Introduction


Triple crown: A pair of three-component coupling reactions between arynes, isocyanides, and either activated alkynes or phenyl esters generates unusual iminoindenones or phenoxy iminoisobenzofurans (see scheme), the latter of which may be advanced to o-ketobenzamides by performing direct hydrolysis. The synthetic utility of these compounds is demonstrated in a rapid preparation of substituted dibenzoketocaprolactams.
