National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is active in Delhi as Delhi State Health Mission (DSHM) with the objective to provide accessible, affordable, effective and reliable primary health care to community. To attain "Health for all", NRHM focus is to converge various sectors related to health care such as Education department, Social welfare department, Integrated chid development scheme (ICDS) for nutrition, Municipal corporation Delhi (MCD), Central govt health services (CGHS), Delhi govt health services (DGHS), ESI, Delhi Jal Board (DJB), National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) and AYUSH. But converging all the sectors related directly or indirectly to health care system, there are certain challenges and issues which are important determinants of health. Overall challenges of NRHM is to strengthen the public health institution from primary level to district level to promote public awareness for preventive and curative aspects like Immunization, prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria aspects. Lack of human resource, adequate training o f human resource is a major constraints for smooth implementation of NRHM. Integrated approach is recognized a better strategy to achieve better, accessible and goal oriented delivery of health care in Delhi under NRHM.


ABSTRACT: To examine the functional structure of aquatic biota in River Orogodo, southern Nigeria, benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected from four ecologically distinct stations monthly for two years (Jul 2003-Jun 2005). Taxa recorded were allocated to functional feeding groups using published literature and examination of gut contents. Clearly, the spatial distribution of most species reflected morphological and trophic suitability to particular environmental conditions. Predators (e.g Hemiptera and Coleoptera) dominated the functional groups at stations I, II and IV. Collector-gatherers, particularly Chironomid larvae dominated the abundance at station III. Scrapers (e.g Melanoides, elmids) and Collector-filterers (Polypedilum) were only sporadically present mostly in the downstream reach (station IV). The paucity of shredders at all stations examined could be explained by the enhanced microbial activity replacing shredder activity at high temperatures common in most tropical streams. The functional organization did not however conform to the River Continuum Concept (RCC) model. This could be related to the degradation of station III with organic wastes from the Agbor Abattoir and deforestation activities at the head station.


Models of occupational stress have often failed to make explicit the variable of control over the environment, as well as the role of job socialization in shaping personality characteristics and coping behaviours. This neglect has helped maintain the focus of stress reduction interventions on the individual. A new model of occupational stress developed by Robert Karasek incorporates control and socialization effects and has successfully predicted the development of heart disease and psychological strain.

A survey instrument derived from the model was distributed to 771 hospital and nursing home employees in New Jersey, and 289 (37.5 per cent) were returned. Respondents did not significantly differ from non-respondents by age, sex, job tenure, union membership status, job satisfaction, job perceptions and attitude towards employer and union.

The results support the hypothesis that reported job strain (job dissatisfaction, depression, psychosomatic symptoms) and burnout is significantly higher in jobs that combine high workload demands with low decision latitude. This association remained significant after controlling for age, sex, education, marital status, children, hours worked per week and shift worked. Other job characteristics (job insecurity, physical exertion, social support, hazard exposure) were also associated with strain and burnout.

The survey instrument also identified high strain jobtitles in the surveyed workplaces. The results are discussed in relation to directions for future research, research on stress in nursing, and approaches to stress reduction.


The effect of a temperature gradient in a gas inclined at an angle to a boundary wall has been investigated. For an infinite half-space of gas it is found that, in addition to the conventional temperature slip problem, the component of the temperature gradient parallel to the wall induces a net mass flow known as thermal creep. We show that the temperature slip and thermal creep effects can be decoupled and treated quite separately. Expressions are obtained for the creep velocity and heat flux, both far from and at the boundary; it is noted that thermal creep tends to reduce the effective thermal conductivity of the medium.


Revised and updated, this is a valuable addition to the range of mental health nursing texts. In the opening chapter, editors Rob Newell and Kevin Gournay highlight the changes that have prompted this new edition.

ABSTRACT We explored the use of field trips for educational and teaching purposes by French kindergarten, primary-school teachers and natural science teachers in secondary schools. More specifically, we studied field trips in a natural environment by undertaking a French curriculum analysis and surveying teachers. We examined the responses of 511 teachers about their practices and motivations, as well as the levers and barriers to implementing these field trips. Results showed that this practice is widespread at all years of education, and differences between years seem to be related to the curriculum. We found few differences in learning motivations (reasons/objectives and interests/specific feature) and perceived barriers between different school teachers. Indeed, the teachers' motivations are essentially scientific and rooted in a scientific inquiry approach. Studying 'on real' was the interest most often cited by teachers, essentially for the purpose of scientific learning. The only notable difference we found concerns the levers for implementing the field trips: a larger proportion of kindergarten and primary-school teachers see field trips as an ideal support for environmental and sustainable development educations. These results are dependant of the French official curriculum which plays a key role in influencing the current implementation of school-organised field trips by the teachers.


Our study had as a starting point the inquiry into the state of the art of infographics within the Information Design field. Our purpose was to determine what research on the topic is being carried out in Brazil, since it has been, with the purpose of determining what is being researched about this topic, in Brazil, since it has presented itself in the field with some recurrence. Subsequently, it was broadened in order to analyse the existing relation between infographics and narrative, once the word 'Narrative' cannot be treated as one of easy comprehension, as states Bal (1997), in other words, it cannot be used under the assumption that every person will understand it in the same way, requiring closer attention to the way it should be used. To observe the relation between the infographics and the narrative, 28 articles were selected, among those published in the Infodesign Journal between the years of 2011 and 2017; and in the CIDI Proceedings of 2011, 2013 and 2015. Within this group, 12 did not make any mention to the word narrative and 16 cited the term but did not present any definition or concept, in order to give the reader an understanding of which line of thought was being approached in the text when the it was mentioned. When it comes to figures, considering the two means of publication within the field of Information Design, it was noted that in 2011, out of 4 articles, only 1 used the term narrative. In 2012 there was only 1 publication that made mention to the word time-space narrative graphic. Five articles were published in 2013, 2 of which cited the expression; whilst in 2014, of the 4 articles present, 3 of them used the term narrative. In 2015, out of the 7 articles published, 6 mentioned it; in 2016 the word narrative occurs in only one quotation; and in 2017, out of 7 articles about infographics, 3 mentioned the term narrative. It is curious


A previous report 1 was concerned with the desirable properties of a new adhesive-vehicle-protectant preparation (Orabase) * designed especially for maintaining topically applied drugs on oral mucosal surfaces for longer periods than heretofore had been possible. It has been demonstrated that through the incorporation of medications in this vehicle drugs were retained on mucosal surfaces for an hour or more. Orabase, as a vehicle, offers the following advantages over previously used vehicles: (1) prolonged contact of active medication with oral tissues, (2) increased effectiveness of the active components by maintenance of higher concentrations at the desired site, and (3) the amount of active medication used could be decreased since it adhered more efficiently at the specific site. During the course of these investigations, 2 it was noted that Orabase demonstrated a protectant action also, i.e., lesions of an erosive or ulcerative nature (traumatic ulcers, recurrent ulcerative stomatitis, erosive lichen planus, etc.),


We show precise and direct two-dimensional (2D) printing of the incompatible polymer acid-base catalysts and their utility in one-pot two-step reactions. Multi-step catalytic reactions using incompatible catalysts in a one-pot reaction cascade require special methods and materials for isolation of catalysts from each other. This, in general is a tedious process requiring special polymer architectures as catalysts' carrier for preserving the activity of otherwise incompatible catalysts. We propose the immobilization of incompatible polymer catalysts, such as polymer acid and base catalysts, on a substrate in variable sizes and amounts by precise 2D printing. The copolymers with a basic (4-vinylpyridine) and acidic (styrene sulfonic acid) functionality and methacryloyl benzophenone as a UV cross-linking unit were used for 2D printing. The printed meshes were immersed together in a reaction solution containing (dimethoxy methyl)-benzene and ethyl cyanoformate, resulting in a two-step acid-base catalyzed cascade reaction, i.e. deacetalization followed by carbon-building reaction. The time-dependent consumption of (dimethoxymethyl)-benzene to the intermediate benzaldehyde and the product was monitored, and a kinetic model was developed to investigate the underlying reaction dynamics. The complexity of multi-step Wolf-Lamb-type reactions was generally significantly decreased using our approach due to the easy polymerization and immobilization procedure.


Purpose - The ongoing debate about the effects of bonuses on managers' performance and the role of reward systems in organizations has still not led to a unanimous conclusion among academics and practitioners. Those in favor of bonuses state that applying bonuses and putting emphasis on monetary rewards increases productivity and organizational performance, while those against bonuses claim that use of bonuses and monetary rewards leads to counterproductive results. A key question often overlooked in the discussion is: How important is handing out bonuses for an organization to become and stay successful for a longer period of time? This paper seeks to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach - This paper describes the results of research into the characteristics of "high performance organizations" (HPOs) and the role of bonuses and reward systems in creating and maintaining HPOs. Findings - The research results show that use of bonuses or implementation of certain types of reward systems have neither a positive nor a negative effect on organizational performance. This may be explained by the fact that reward systems are a hygiene factor for an organization. If an organization does not have an appropriate reward system (whether or not including bonuses), it will run into trouble with its employees and have difficulty improving its performance. If it does – a situation which employees expect and consider to be normal – it can start working on becoming an HPO. Originality/value - The results of this study further the discussion about the role of bonuses.


The control of both O2 and Li2O out‐diffusion during fabrication of optical waveguides by the in‐diffusion of titanium into LiNbO3 is important. A simple technique, using a sealed system under conditions approaching equilibrium, has been developed which does allow effective control of this problem.


As a subtle form of dysraphism with one or more split spinous processes and widened interpedicular distances on plain radiography, spina bifida occulta (SBO) is often combined with intact dorsal skin.Occurring at the level of lumbosacral portion, it affects multiple systems, such as nervous, urological, digestive and motor systems.If associated with traction, hypoxic-ischemia and other malformations of spinal nerve lead to spinal nerve injury and manifest a series of related symptoms referred to as tethered spinal cord syndrome (TCS). In light of many controversies in its diagnosis and therapy, this review summarizes the pathogenesis, prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of SBO to assist its clinical management.

Vehicle to Vehicle communication is comes under ehicular ad-hoc network (VANET). VANET uses the concept of mobile ad-hoc network. VANET gives flexibility to communicate between high speeds vehicles and create a network. VANET classification is done in three different category such as Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Hybrid network which is a combination of V2V and V2I network. VANET can be very effective in road safety communication, at the time of network congestion or entertainment purpose. But as services is increases QoS providing to the end user is a challenging task for service provider because of wireless medium and nature of node (vehicle ) is mobile with very high speed. The existing protocol proposed till today's date does not consider network initialization advertisement, periodic beaconing factor which are necessary to provide effective V2V. Due to which the broadcasted packets are neither acknowledged nor it is retransmitted which in turn increases the frame loss due to channel error. To cater this in work the author propose an Adaptive Medium Access Control (AMAC) Scheduler for prioritized multi-channel Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) based V2V communication in IEEE 802.11pMAC protocol. The simulation is conducted for collision, packet transmission and throughput efficiency for varied vehicle. The experimental result shows the proposed AMAC scheduler, performs better than existing Non Cooperative Cognitive Multiple Access (NCCMA) in term of collision, successful packet transmission and throughput efficiency for varied no. of vehicle and thus helps improving QoS for DSRC based V2V communication for different application like safety and non-safety related application.


ABSTRACT The Parrish Library Case Competition is an annual library-administered, library-sponsored case competition where teams of undergraduate students compete against one another to make better evidence-based decisions for business problems. This article includes a description of the case competition as a resource for other libraries interested in sponsoring similar case competitions as part of their information literacy programs. Students who participated in the case competition saw their learning grow as assessed through questionnaires and focus groups. Students who had not taken an information literacy course perceived their understanding as lower than those who had taken a course.

A mong the antiquities published in 1534 by Petrus Apianus in his Inscriptiones Sacrosanctae Vetustatis are two Roman funerary monuments' which graphically illustrate the transformations and misinterpretations suffered by ancient works at the hands of those well-intentioned enthusiasts who promoted the Classical Revival in Germany. It is with considerable amusement that one turns from the plump ladies of Apianus' woodcut2 (P1. Ioa) to the grave dignity of the Roman matron and her daughter represented on the actual monument (P1. Iob). Apianus included the piece in his collection of stones visible at that time in Rome. Actually it was found in the Campus Martius and apparently remained in Rome until it passed into the possession of the Louvre.3 The monument is in the form of a sepulchral altar4 and was dedicated by Julius Secundus to his wife Cornelia Tyche and their daughter Julia Secunda, both of whom had perished in the Gulf of Leon in a storm. That this event occurred around the middle of the second century is apparent from the coiffure of the older woman which reflects the style of hairdressing fashionable at the time of Faustina the Elder.5 The busts of the deceased are set into a shallow niche framed by columns supporting an entablature and segmental pediment and resting upon an inscribed base. This base is divided into two panels, each containing an impassioned recital of the virtues of the individual above, who is further designated by her name which appears in that half of the frieze immediately over her. Above the left bust is inscribed IULIAE SECUNDAE FILIAE and in the panel below:


The current study intends to analyse the behaviour of steel plate girders with rigid end posts subjected to elevated temperatures, aiming the assessment of the ultimate shear strength in case of fire. A parametric numerical study was performed involving a wide range of cross-section's dimensions, plate girders' aspect ratios and steel grades. Plate girders were numerically tested at both normal and elevated temperature, being considered three different uniform temperatures. The influence of the geometrical imperfections, as well as the residual stresses, was taken into account. Finally, the numerical results were compared to the Eurocode 3 (EC3) prescriptions, adapted to fire situation by the direct application of the reduction factors for the stress-strain relationship of steel at elevated temperatures. It was shown that the EC3 design rules should be improved because they are not conservative, conducting to unsafe results.

This paper also offers the detailed mode of using SMS/GPRS in corporation Intranet. These suggestions will extend the power communication services in a more efficient way.


The influence of several pharmaceutical materials on the fading of the certified color, FD&C Blue No. 2, has been investigated. It has been found that sugars such as dextrose, lactose, and sucrose increase the rate of fading, whereas sugar alcohols such as mannitol and sorbitol do not appreciably affect the rate. However, if trace amounts of strong reducing catalysts remain in the sugar alcohol after being crystallized, they significantly affect color stability. In general, antioxidants such as hydroquinone, p -hydroxypropiophenone and hydroquinone monomethyl ether were found not to appreciably retard the fading due to reducing sugars. In the case of NDGA, however, the rate of fading due to dextrose is substantially reduced. It appears that the rate of fading of the above color is catalyzed in the presence of reducing compounds.


House mouse Mus domesticus populations in Australia can occur at either low or very high densities. During a 2-yr study mice increased from rarity to abundance in two phases: in phase A mice reached medium densities and declined, in phase B they reached very high densities before declining to near extinction. We hypothesise that mice were regulated by predators in phase A, but escaped from regulation to form plagues in phase B. We measured directly the mortality imposed by raptors and mammalian predators. Two predictions were tested: (1) if predators regulate prey populations then the predator total response shoud be density-dependent within the range of low densities (phase A); (2) when a prey outbreak occurs (phase B) predator total response should be inversely density-dependent

Abstract The first record of the palpigrade Eukoenenia gasparoi Condé 1988 in Croatia is reported. We review the distribution of this troglobiotic species endemic to the classical European Karst region, give an illustrated description of the adult stages and the juvenile female, and evaluate divergence among the populations. Morphological differences reflect individual-level rather than population-level variation.


Malaria vector occurrence in mountainous villages was monitored for 2 years in north Thailand. Both larval and adult densities of Anopheles miniumus peaked in May or June and in November or December. Stable conditions in streams during these periods possibly favored the breeding of A n. miniumus. Higher lalval density also was encountered in streams where ca. 3/4 of the water surface was sunlit, portions with rapid currents and slow currents alternate, and the water waS clear. An. maculatus sensu lato peaked in June or July, while An. dirus scarcely changed seasonally. The densities of the three malaria vectors were higher in more mountainous villages.


8261 Background: AS leads to significant loss in quality of life domains of sexual and intimate relationships for the partner as well as for the patient. Men with biochemical relapse of prostate cancer live for years and therefore, defining the impact of AS on sexuality and intimacy issues of a couple is important for designing future intervention trials aimed at addressing these problems. Methods: Men with biochemical relapse of prostate cancer were entered on a clinical trial of IAS. The patient and his partner each answered questionnaires at baseline and after 9 months of AS. The partner was asked to answer the same questionnaire according to her own perceptions of the answers as they pertained to the patient. Results: 14 men were married, eugonadal, and Caucasian with a median age of 64.5 years (range 51.8 to 77.2). At baseline, 9 men and 11 women reported erectile dysfunction (ED); 9 couples had no sexual activity during the past month. After 9 months of AS, 13 men and 14 women reported ED; 13 couple...


The purpose of the study is to observe and to evaluate participation in the land use process and the potential of civil activity in influencing the impacts of planning in the cultural landscape in the countryside.


This article will not in any way attempt to reclassify or define historically the well known complexities whose existence has already been sufficiently substantiated within the arts during the early part of the twentieth century, but will, nevertheless, function partially within a historical point of reference inasmuch as history cannot be, in any way, separated from the many properties which are responsible for making its exterior visible in time. Within this historical framework I shall attempt to illuminate as clearly as possible two main points. The first deals with a fundamental element implicit in a work of art and whose function is that of "principle coordinator" in the creative


Abstract Single crystals and polycrystalline samples of hexagonal ferrite BaFe12O19 have been irradiated with argon and krypton ions of energies 44 MeV/A and 35 MeV/A respectively and doses ranging from 1013 to 1015 Ar24+cm−2 and from 1012 to 1014 Kr16+cm−2. Changes in magnetic properties and microstructure have been investigated by saturation magnetization measurements and high resolution electron microscopy. The results lead to the separation of the stopping ion zone from the electronic slowing down region. A crystal to amorphous transformation occurs in the the former when approximately 10−2 atom has been displaced per atomic collision. The transition can be explained on the basis of an amorphization process wherein high density defects regions shall be created by the primary ejected ions.


Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a cytoplasmic protein kinase that is defective in X‐linked agammaglobulinaemia in man and in X‐linked immunodeficiency in the mouse. There is controversy regarding the stages of B cell development that are dependent on Btk function. To determine the point in B cell differentiation at which defects in Btk become apparent, we generated a mouse model by inactivating the Btk gene through an in‐frame insertion of a lacZ reporter by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. The phenomenon of X‐chromosome inactivation in Btk+/− heterozygous female mice enabled us to evaluate the competition between B cell progenitors expressing wild‐type Btk and those expressing the Btk‐/lacZ allele in each successive step of development. Although Btk was already expressed in pro‐B cells, the first selective disadvantage only became apparent at the transition from small pre‐B cells to immature B cells in the bone marrow. A second differentiation arrest was found during the maturation from IgD(low)IgM(high) to IgD(high)IgM(low) stages in the periphery. Our results show that Btk expression is essential at two distinct differentiation steps, both past the pre‐B cell stage.


General equations are considered for detecting radar targets against the land surface. These equations possess properties to give in reflection, in addition to the basic frequency f, the same signals at multiple frequencies. Such targets are referred to as nonlinear. The authors apply the equations obtained to the detection of nonlinear targets. Both continuous and impulse modes of operation are considered. The maximum range of a radar operating in a continuous mode is determined by the equation. Targets having a considerable number of metallic contacts at the second harmonic can be detected even better than those at the first harmonic. Thus, if a radar target located at a distance of 30 m has R.C.S. equal to 10 m2 and is located on a sand soil, then the probability of a false alarm equal to 10/sup -4/ it is selected with the probability of correct detection equal to 10/sup -8/. At the same time nonlinear targets against the sand background at the same probabilities, will be selected at a distance of 300 m.<<ETX>>


uranium-enriched geological units (Fig. 1; Cooper and McGeough, 2006). The state hosts the world's largest uranium deposit, Olympic Dam, which contains 65% of Australia's reserves plus resources (McKay and Miezitis, 2001). Similarly, Mt Painter is renown as being one of the most radiogenic locations in the world. Mt Painter is host to over 40 historic mines and prospects (Coats and Blissett, 1971) and is the source of uranium to the Tertiary Beverley uranium mine.


Summary: The question has been raised whether the in vivo positive inotropic effect of amrinone and milrinone is a primary effect or secondary to vasodilation. The effects of each drug on isolated trabeculae and resistance vessels obtained from the same dog hearts were determined separately. The positive inotropic and vasodilatory effects coincided over the same concentration range for amrinone. The active isometric force of trabeculae and resistance vessels was increased, and respectively decreased by 20% at comparable concentrations of amrinone–20% ED (effective dose) ranging between 9.5 and 18 μM. By contrast, the vasodilatory properties of milrinone (20% ED, 15–34 μM) appeared only at concentrations at which milrinone had already evoked a maximal positive inotropic response in trabecular muscle (20% ED, 0.36–0.38 μM). Based on the present experiments and their limitations, it would thus appear that, in the intact heart and at therapeutic doses, positive inotropic and vasodilatory effects may be equally present for amrinone, whereas, for milrinone, the positive inotropic effect would largely predominate the vasodilatory effect.


turbidity of a culture is being measured as a way to determine cell density, measurements might not decrease during this phase, since cells could still be intact.


The FORTRAN Compiler Validation System (FCVS) developed by the Department of the Navy tests the conformance of those elements of the FORTRAN language which are contained in the logical intersection of the American Standard FORTRAN, X3.9-1966, and the elements proposed for the subset language in the draft proposed American National Standard Programming Language FORTRAN.
 This paper discusses the development of the FORTRAN Compiler Validation System and presents the rationale for the FCVS. The design criteria for the FCVS and a description of the test production is explained. The capabilities of the Executive System are described as well as the future developments anticipated for the FCVS because of the adoption of the revised FORTRAN Standard and the impact of the CODASYL FORTRAN Data Base Facility.


Drill core is a vital resource for subsurface characterisation and informs process understanding. However, it is expensive to collect and as a result, the geoscience community increasingly relies on data from legacy core to address today\x92s energy challenges. Many countries store geological materials collected over decades in national archives. In the UK, over 600 km of drill core is currently stored at the UK national core repository which covers a breadth of the UK\x92s geology, including those targeted for resources, energy and waste storage. The challenge is to maximise the value of these analogue archives and new core when deposited - improving access to materials and associated data, whilst simultaneously maximising preservation to ensure optimised use, now and in the future. This paper summarises the BGS approach to characterise drill core more efficiently and consistently using a multiple-technique core scanning approach set within a project-specific core scanning workflow to increase core data acquisition and complement traditional core characterisation practices. Thus, creating a digital record of the core, preserving it beyond its physical lifetime and improving accessibility. This paper highlights the benefits and challenges of this long-term endeavour, especially in making the data open access and discoverable.


The paper reviews the successful project to plan, design and construct the required infrastructure to install a 750-mm sanitary trunk sewer by means of trenchless construction methods. The preferred construction method was microtunneling due to the ground conditions, the urban setting, the preference for gravity pipeline and the need to reduce community disruption as well as third party impact. The project was successfully completed because of thorough and detailed planning, early design development, and the selection of construction methods that minimized disruption and inconvenience to the community.


Abstract A new method for the generation of pseudorandom numbers, based on two linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) and a discrete-space chaotic map is presented. The proposed method consists of multiple stages; in stage one a pseudorandom sequence is generated. In stage two a selection of output bits is conducted in order to produce sequences with high randomness. Because many previous methods based on LFSRs and XOR operations are not able to resist chosen and known plaintext attack, stage one of the proposed method is designed to be resistant to this problem. Relations between two LFSRs and the parameters of the chaotic map are established in such a way that based on known output bits of a proposed generator it is impossible to obtain any part of the secret key without guessing the whole secret key. The randomness of generated sequences is confirmed using NIST, TestU01, and the DIEHARD test. The advantages of the proposed method are virtually unlimited key space and resistance to digital degradation.

Objective:
To report a rare case of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) causing large intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) in the setting of luradisone.
 Background:
RCVS is a syndrome characterized by thunderclap headache and diffuse segmental vasoconstriction of the cerebral arteries evident on imaging of the cerebral vasculature. Only 50[percnt] of cases occur after exposure to recognized triggers, among those are sympathomimetics, serotonergic substances etc.. Lurasidone is a new antipsychotic medication and has potential D2 and 5HT2A receptor antagonism effects. The association between RCVS and lurasidone has not been reported before.
 Methods:
Case report
 Results:
A 40 year-old woman with history of hypertension, depression, fibromyalgia, and remote migraines 20 years ago presented with severe headache and vision change for 1 week. She had been taking Latuda recently to help her depression, and the dose had been gradually titrated from 20mg daily to 100mg daily. She drank socially and used marijuana occasionally, and has not been drinking or using recreational drug for at least one month. Physical exam showed left homonymous inferior quadrantanopia. Blood pressure was within normal range. CT revealed large IPH in the right parieto-occipital region with intraventricular extension and slight midline shift. No subarachnoid hemorrhage was seen. Cerebral angiography showed multiple segmental areas of vasoconstriction involving the anterior and posterior circulation with significant improvement after the intra-arterial administration of Verapamil. Significant improvement of her headache was noted after intra-arterial verapamil. She continued to take Nimodipine 60mg Q4h with improvement of her headache upon discharge.
 Conclusions:
RCVS has not been reported following lurasidone use previously. Physicians should be aware of this occurrence as a potential precipitant and recommend avoiding this exposure as secondary prevention, especially in patients with higher risk of RCVS including middle age females and migraines.

Quadratic programming with interval coefficients developed to overcome cases in classic quadratic programming where the coefficient value is unknown and must be estimated. This paper discusses the extension of Wolfe method. The extended Wolfe method can be used to solve quadratic programming with interval coefficients. The extension process of Wolfe method involves the transformation of the quadratic programming with interval coefficients model into linear programming with interval coefficients model. The next step is transforming linear programming with interval coefficients model into two classic linear programming models with special characteristics, namely, the optimum best and the worst optimum problem.

There are times when I talk with Leslie Silko that I think she lives on nothing but stories. They seem to come to her from everywhere: her rooster and washing machine, heat lightning and Henry James, the feed store, Marlon Brando, cousins, the Rolling Stone, Chinle, and always Laguna. She breathes them; they are her element. There are times, too, when she seems hopelessly trapped in them, and times when I think she would not be if she did not make them moist again with her breath. When I read her work, I am convinced of it. She is first and last a storyteller. Storytellers survive: this, I take it, is a central perception of Ceremony and of these preceding essays, and it is one I wish to reiterate here. In the telling, stories at once teach survival and demonstrate it. A Hopi friend told me this one recently:


Both experimental and numerical investigations of converging shock waves have been performed. In the experiments, a shock tube was used to create and study converging shock waves of various geometr ...


Unified certifiable information has led to many intuitive advances, including DNS and the producerconsumer problem. In this paper, we validate the understanding of systems. This technique is continuously an appropriate objective but fell in line with our expectations. In order to achieve this ambition, we explore a relational tool for deploying the World Wide Web (VesperAlp), which we use to validate that lambda calculus and the Internet can cooperate to fix this question.

The single-crystal X-ray structure of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaethoxy-1-nitrotriphenylene confirms earlier calculations of the molecular geometry and shows that the α-nitro substituent imparts a helical twist to the triphenylene nucleus. Within the crystal, the molecules are arranged in tilted columns on an oblique lattice, and along the columns the molecular dipoles are arranged antiferroelectrically, with a molecule–molecule dipole–dipole interaction of ca.
−5.5 kJ mol−1. It is suggested that this interaction may be important in stabilising the mesophase. Eleven other 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaalkoxytriphenylenes and their mononitro derivatives (with side chains ranging from –OC2H5 to –OC16H33) have been prepared and characterised. Most of the α-nitrated compounds give enantiotropic columnar mesophases that show wider mesophase ranges than the precursor aryl ethers. For the systems with side chains from –OC4H9 to –OC11H23, α-nitration increases the mesophase range (relative to the simple aryl ether), and for the systems with –OC12H25, –OC14H29, and –OC16H33, α-nitration induces liquid crystal behaviour (the simple aryl ethers analogues being non-mesogenic). Although it had previously been claimed that 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexapropoxytriphenylene is not mesogenic, we found that it exhibits a plastic columnar phase between 100 and 175 °C.

A moment-thrust-curvature-based procedure for calculating the behavior and ultimate strength of damaged tubular members is presented. The new set of moment-thrust-curvature expressions for damaged or undamaged tubular members developed by the authors is used. A computer program, BCDENT, was developed, whose capability includes analysis of single or multident tubular members subjected to axial compression, end moments, and distributed or concentrated lateral loads. In this paper, the validity and accuracy of the moment-thrust-curvature approach for determining the ultimate strength of damaged tubular members are verified by comparing analytical predictions with the available 151 test results.

This paper reports research based on analysis of the 2001 Census and a sample of marked electoral registers. These data allow us to estimate registration rates with a considerable degree of accuracy, and provide comparative estimates for South Asian religious minorities and the rest of the population. We make three important findings. First, unlike turnout, South Asian registration is lower than that of the population as a whole. Second, a large proportion of the difference in registration rates is attributable to ineligibility associated with country of birth. Third, South Asian registration is higher in areas where South Asians are most geographically concentrated.


Background: Skeletal metastasis (SM) with skeletal related events (SREs) occurs in up to 70% of breast cancer and more than 50% of malignant tumors. Whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) used to characterize the metabolic, anatomic, and morphologic status of suspected bone lesions. SMs are detected using multiple modalities; however, FDG PET/CT may offer a single investigation to detect SM combining the strength of functional imaging and radiological imaging simultaneously.
Aims and Objectives: This study was to assess the frequency of SM on 18F-FDG PET/CT with negative CT at Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology (INMOL).
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included a sample of total 50 patients with SM of known primary malignancies who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scan at INMOL Cancer Hospital, Lahore.
Results: Of the 50 patients, we discovered the concordant findings between PET and CT as both PET+/CT+ in 38 patients (76%) whereas in 12 patients (24%) with PET+/CT- findings were discordant. CT was unable to detect SM in at least 12 patients. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of SM in patients with negative CT found to be slightly higher as 5.2±4.1 (range: 2.5–7.8) than in patients with positive CT finding as 4.8±2.8 (range: 3.9–5.8) with P=0.76. P-value is insignificant this means that high SUV is not typical or conclusive evidence of metastasis.
Conclusion: Despite limited data, this study has demonstrated high concordance between FDG PET and CT scan in detecting SM. Furthermore, the study has shown that 18F-FDG PET appears to have slightly better detection efficiency as compared to CT for identification of SM which is statistically insignificant. The study demonstrated that SUV is higher in PET and CT discordant cases; however, it does not provide conclusive information favoring diagnosis of SM.

The sorting performance of laser removing impurities reaches ≥ 99.5%.


Land use has a great impact on water quality, which can affect diatom diversity and ecology. We assessed statistically these relationships using a spatial method. As the results, using classification and regression trees, we demonstrated low pH having a great impact on diatom diversity.


Seedlings of A. marina and R. stylosa were grown for 12 months in nutrient solutions containing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% seawater. Plants of both species grew poorly without sodium chloride in the culture medium. Growth was greatly stimulated in 25% seawater which, within the range of treatments used, was the optimum salinity for growth by both species. Dry matter production by R. stylosa fell sharply between 25 and 50% seawater, whereas A. marina displayed an extended growth response in up to 75% seawater. Plants of A. marina grown on solutions of increasing salinity accumulated increasing amounts of sodium and chloride in all tissues. As a result, all tissues had osmotic potentials that were considerably more negative than that of the solution on which they were grown. This implied that the reduction in growth displayed by plants of A. marina grown at high salinity was due to inhibition of growth by high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride, rather than to an effect of water stress. By contrast, the leaves and stem of R. stylosa contained relatively low concentrations of sodium and chloride, with the result that the osmotic potentials of these tissues were close to, or more positive than, that of the solution on which the plants were grown. This suggests that the poor shoot growth of this species at high salinities was due to water stress. The results of this study support the view that A. marina, which has salt-secreting glands in its leaves, is more salt-tolerant than R. stylosa, which does not possess salt-secreting glands.


The utility model relates to the technical field of wind-driven generators, in particular to an installation support device for a megawatt fan base ring. The upper and lower ends of H steel of the device are connected with a connecting plate and an elevating plate respectively; a threaded pipe is welded on the lower end face of the elevating plate and the upper end face of the support plate respectively; a threaded rod is in threaded connection in the two threaded pipes; a nut is welded between the threaded rods; and the lower end face of the support plate is welded with a steel rib. The lower end surface of the support plate is welded with the reinforcing steel bar. Due to the adoption of the installation support device, frequent hoisting is not required in the levelness adjusting process of the base ring, the base ring is prevented from being moved in a casting process, the installation quality of the base ring is enhanced, and great convenience is brought to installation personnel simultaneously. The defects of the need of frequently hoisting the basic ring and the movement of the base ring in a casing process existing in the conventional installation method are overcome.


Objective: To develop and validate a simple and rapid assay for simultaneous measurement of cortisol and cortisone in human saliva by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
Methods: Chromatographic analysis was performed on an Atlantis dC18 column (2.1 x 100 mm, 3 µm) using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 2 mmol ammonium-acetate (50:50, v; v) that was delivered at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. The eluents were monitored using electrospray ionization in the positive ion mode set at transition set of mass-to-charge (m/z): 363.11 → 121.00, 361.18 → 163.11, and 367.19 → 121.24 for cortisol, cortisone and internal standard (IS), respectively the method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, and recovery, according to international guidelines.
Results: The retention times of cortisol, cortisone and internal were about 1.38, 1.43 and 1.38 min, respectively. Cortisol level and cortisone level relationship to the ratio of their respective peak-area to IS's peak-area was linear (range of 0.5-100 ng/ml). Coefficients of variation and inaccuracy were, ≤9.9% and-0.3 to 6.9 for cortisol and ≤8.4 and-1.5 to 4.8 for cortisone, respectively. Extraction recoveries for cortisol, cortisone, and the IS were 90%, 94%, and 98%, respectively. Cortisol and cortisone stability was evaluated in processed saliva samples (stored at room temperature for 24 h) and unprocessed saliva samples (stored at room temperature for 24 h or at-20 °C for 10 w) and after 3 freeze-thaw cycles was ≥ 86%.
Conclusion: The proposed method is simple, precise, and accurate for the rapid simultaneous measurement of cortisol and cortisone levels in saliva. The assay was successfully applied to determine levels of cortisol and cortisone in human saliva samples obtained from healthy volunteers.


Multidimensional learning problem which is a more general form of supervised machine learning dealing with learning a function that maps a vector of input features to a vector of class labels is discussed in this paper. The study focuses on a framework which uses multilabel ranking with an emphasis on solving multidimensional learning problems. Performance of the framework is evaluated using mean accuracy, global accuracy and entropy of accuracy. Studies using real world benchmark dataset have shown that all the assumptions made in building the framework are valid. In addition to this, studies are carried out on images from eddy current non-destructive testing of stainless steel plate having subsurface defects clearly confirm that the proposed framework is well suitable for learning multidimensional problems and is superior to uni-dimensional learning algorithms.


This study examined the psychometric properties of the trichotomous and 2 x 2 achievement goal models in high school athletic settings and assessed which model might represent a better fit to the data, as well as explored the relative contributions of achievement goals and social goals to students 'persistence/effort toward their sport training. Participants were 171 student athletes from a local high school in the southern region of United States, Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the 2 x 2 model provided a better fit to the data than the trichotomous model. Multiple regression analysis revealed that social responsibility goals, performance-approach goals, and mastery-approach goals were significant predictors of students 'persistence/effort toward their sport training, demonstrating that students had multiple goals for their sport success. Findings suggest using both achievement goals and social goals to study student motivation and achievement in high school athletic settings.


When the Spanish Civil War ended, the political and ideological atmosphere of Spain changed a lot: for the new regime, democracy and freedom were synonimous with the «decadent and corrupt» republican years. The triumph of Franco's Army was due in great part to the support of Germany and Italy, and this inevitably led to a preponderance of the Fascist ideas represented by the Falange party. In fact, Franco was never a real Fascist, but at this moment he considered unavoidable to adopt a sympathetic attitude towards this ideology.


Summary Experimental infection of yeasts, C. albicans and S. cerevisiae with unadapted polyoma virus was carried out reproducibly under various experimental conditions, measured by increase in hemagglutination and infectivity during incubation. All important assays were repeated several times with similar positive results. Approximately 68-fold increase in HAU and approx 104 increase in PFU/system over the inoculum was observed with unadapted PyV, but this yield may be increased with adaptation and further technical refinements as will be published separately. The virus propagation brought about cell biological and population changes which were illustrated and discussed together with the significance and bearing of the primary infection of two different species of yeasts with an oncogenic virus. The courtesy of Dr. M. Williams of the Ontario Cancer Institute for the T strain of the PyV, Mr. G. Healy, Connaught Medical Research Laboratories, for the generous supply of media, Dr. D. B. W. Reid, Professor of Biometry, University of Toronto, for advice in statistical evaluation and Mr. J. Kovács for his technical help is gratefully acknowledged.

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) trained from genome-wide association study (GWAS) results are set to play a pivotal role in biomedical research addressing multifactorial human diseases. The prospect of using these risk scores in clinical care and public health is generating both enthusiasm and controversy, with varying opinions about strengths and limitations across experts1. The performances of existing polygenic scores are still limited, and although it is expected to improve with increasing sample size of GWAS and the development of new powerful methods, it remains unclear how much prediction can be ultimately achieved. Here, we conducted a retrospective analysis to assess the progress in PRS prediction accuracy since the publication of the first large-scale GWASs using six common human diseases with sufficient GWAS data. We show that while PRS accuracy has grown rapidly for years, the improvement pace from recent GWAS has decreased substantially, suggesting that further increasing GWAS sample size may translate into very modest risk discrimination improvement. We next investigated the factors influencing the maximum achievable prediction using recently released whole genome-sequencing data from 125K UK Biobank participants, and state-of-the-art modeling of polygenic outcomes. Our analyses point toward increasing the variant coverage of PRS, using either more imputed variants or sequencing data, as a key component for future improvement in prediction accuracy.


This document aims to advise on and support the effective implementation of clinical governance for all drug treatment providers, across all tiers, whether delivering health or social care, and whether public or independent (private or voluntary sector).

Qur'an is a guide and holy book for Muslims whose presence is accepted. The current study of Qur'an studies places reception as one that is often discussed. This research is based on the idea of Ahmad Rafiq's reception. Then this study analyzes the reception of the Qur'an on social media. This study aims to describe the reception on the Instagram account @quranreview, which actively uploads interpretations of verses of the Qur'an. Because receptions are the result of human thought, and of course, the results will vary, the author feels the need to raise this discussion to add to the body of knowledge related to the practice of the Qur'an. The research method is a virtual ethnographic qualitative method, which collects data from online information instead of interviews and surveys. The primary data sources are posts from the @quranreview account supported by secondary data sources such as scientific journals. After the data is collected, it is analyzed with the stages of reduction, display, and data verification. The results found in the study are that there are three receptions of the Qur'an in the @quranreview account, including the reception of exegesis, aesthetic reception, and functional reception. The reception that is most prominent and dominating in this account is the reception of exegesis because it is an account that focuses on studying the interpretation of the Qur'an. Other receptions, such as aesthetic and functional, are also found through postings of verse interpretations.


Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate differences in victimization among single and married mothers using data (n=6,388 women) from the 2006 Stockholm County Public Health Survey (SCPHS), a cross‐sectional survey based on a self‐administered postal questionnaire.Design/methodology/approach – Results showed higher odds of victimization among lone mothers compared to married ones. Additionally, the greatest odds of victimization were observed among those with low education, low income, and decreased social and practical support.Findings – In Sweden, particularly in Stockholm, there is a need for future population‐based surveys regarding the prevalence of violence and to identify high risk groups. Furthermore, it is crucial that these surveys include items that will enable investigation of direct links between violence and health effects, and the utilization of health care for these women.Originality/value – This paper is original and it addresses for the first time violence among single moth...


For the lifetime extension of nuclear reactors, the integrity assessment of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is an important issue. A Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) is an important transient that can threaten the integrity of the RPV during a Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA). The traditional one-dimensional system codes fail to reliably predict the complex three-dimensional thermal mixing phenomena in the down-comer occurring during emergency core cooling injection. Hence, CFD can bring real benefits in terms of more realistic and more predictive capabilit ies. However, to gain trust in the application of CFD modelling for PTS, a comprehensive validation program is required. In the absence of detailed experimental data for the RPV cooling during emergency core cooling injection including the heat transfer into the RPV structure, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) databases constitute a valid alternative and can serve as a reference. The aim of this work is to perform a high quality DNS of a single phase PTS scenario, which will serve as a reference to validate lower order, more pragmatic, CFD approaches. In this regard, at NRG, an extensive research program has been carried out to design a geometrically simplified high fidelity numerical PTS set-up which will be presented in this article.


We evaluated the Wisconsin bioenergetics model for chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in both the laboratory and the field. Chinook salmon in laboratory tanks were fed alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), the predominant food of chinook salmon in Lake Michigan. Food consumption and growth by chinook salmon during the experiment were measured. To estimate the efficiency with which chinook salmon retain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from their food in the laboratory, PCB concentrations of the alewife and of the chinook salmon at both the beginning and end of the experiment were determined. Based on our laboratory evaluation, the bioenergetics model was furnishing unbiased estimates of food consumption by chinook salmon. Additionally, from the laboratory experiment, we calculated that chinook salmon retained 75% of the PCBs contained within their food. In an earlier study, assimilation rate of PCBs to chinook salmon from their food in Lake Michigan was estimated at 53%, thereby suggesting that the model...


This article is devoted to the study of problems of the qualification of crimes against the realization of political rights. Based on a comparative analysis, approaches to the concept of "crimes" within the Criminal Codes of the Republic of Armenia, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Artsakh are presented. The ancient foundations of the problems of proportionality of sentencing are considered, on the basis of which the similarities of the institutional punishment of the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh were studied. Based on a comparative analysis of the post-election situations in the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh, it turned out that even with the similarity and uniformity of the legislative settlement of problems related to the non-obstructive exercise of political rights, the results in Armenia and Artsakh are different. The presented article notes that crimes related to political rights, first of all, are levelled against the strengthening and development of democratic values and principles, and based on this and on the basis of a multi-faceted analysis of the nature of the problems of resolving issues related to the implementation of political rights, appropriate methodological and legislative proposals are made.


A male newborn was admitted to our Unit because of early sepsis and shock. He required antimicrobial therapy and mechanical ventilation and initially did well, although he exhibited jaundice and cholestasis. During the second week he deteriorated, with radiological opacification of the right hemithorax and pleural effusion, and did poorly in spite of antibiotical therapy and drainage of the effusion. In the third week, the X‐ray suggested some bowel loops in the right hemithorax. A right‐sided diaphragmatic hernia was confirmed by a CT‐scan, and surgery was performed with good outcome. The association of delayed‐onset right‐sided CDH following early sepsis and obstructive jaundice has not been published before, and illustrates a scarcely known form of presentation of this condition.


The current assignments of the 11.3-m feature are dicussed. An unbiased survey of correlation charts suggests that the olefinic group R 2C= CH2 is a good alternative candidate. For the 12.7-m feature, the best fits are provided by ni- trites, R-O-N= O, and amines, R-N= H2. Sulfones, SO2, exhibit strong features near 7.7 and 8.6 m, which may contribute to the UIBs. These additional functional groups are likely to be attached to the main hydrocarbon dust skeleton previously hypothesized.

A technique for examining frictional effects at a sample/platen interface during uniaxial compression, developed for metals, has been applied to viscoelastic gels and doughs. Flat, ring‐shaped samples of gelatin and wheat starch gels and of a hard wheat flour dough are prepared with an internal ring diameter of Di. These viscoelastic materials show, in uniaxial compression, the same qualitative behavior as that reported by Male and Cockcroft for metals (J. Institute of Metals, 93, 38–46, 1964). When the sample/platen interface is lubricated, that is, when the interfacial friction is low, Di increases as the deformation increases; when the friction at the interface is high, Di decreases with increasing deformation. With the viscoelastic fluid (dough) the central hole of the ring always closes up at high enough deformations even when the platen/sample interface is initially lubricated except when lubricated Teflon platen surfaces are employed. To a greater extent than observed for metals, the effective fric...

Age‐related oocyte aneuploidy occurs as a result of chromosome segregation errors in female meiosis‐I and meiosis‐II, and is caused by a progressive age‐related deterioration of the chromosome segregation machinery. Here, we assess the impact of age upon the kinetochore, the multi‐protein structure that forms the link between the chromosome and spindle microtubules. We find that in meiosis‐I the outer kinetochore assembles at germinal vesicle breakdown, but that a substantially smaller outer kinetochore is assembled in oocytes from aged mice. We show this correlates with a weaker centromere in aged oocytes and, using nuclear transfer approaches to generate young‐aged hybrid oocytes, we show that outer kinetochore assembly always mirrors the status of the centromere, regardless of cytoplasmic age. Finally, we show that weaker kinetochores in aged oocytes are associated with thinner microtubule bundles, that are more likely to be mis‐attached. We conclude that progressive loss of the centromere with advancing maternal age underpins a loss of the outer kinetochore in meiosis‐I, which likely contributes to chromosome segregation fallibility in oocytes from older females.


Descriptive and qualitative study on the stigma reported by people affected by Hansen' s disease in a Health Institute in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. It aimed at understanding the social perceptions related to the stigma revealed by people cured of Hansen's disease or undergoing treatment for it; and comparing the present perceptions to those experienced while at the leper colonies. Interviews with seven clients on follow-up by the Institute were developed in 2006. Five categories stood out of the content analysis of the reports: work and patient relationship; family and cure horizons; interaction with friends; health professionals' incompetence; social changes for social


This research discusses how the activity of drinking becomes a space that differentiates between the home and the workplace, serving as a means of release from hierarchical structures present in the working world. The objective of this study is to understand the role of drinking activities in the lives of Japanese workers. This qualitative research was conducted using the thematic analysis approach. The data for this study were derived from two Japanese dramas titled "Platinum Town" (2012) and "Hanzawa Naoki" (2013), with a focus on scenes depicting social drinking gatherings. Data collection involved identifying relevant drinking scenes, followed by data cleansing and subsequent analysis. The concept of this "third space" serves as a medium for employees in Japan to release status and hierarchy constraints within their work environment. Additionally, this third space also functions as a means of maintaining harmonious relationships in Japanese society, supported by the cultural factors of "Uchi" and "Honne."

In this paper high-order high-fidelity simulations of unsteady flows over flapping wings are examined. The numerical framework for the present computational flapping wings analysis is based on the high-order spectral difference (SD) scheme and a mesh deformation algorithms. The resulting method is capable of performing accurate and efficient simulations for unsteady flows over unsteady moving surfaces. This is demonstrated through several numerical experiments with increasing complexity in geometries and flow physics. The problems being studied include three-dimensional flows over an Eppler61 airfoil over a range of angles of attack at transitional Reynolds number of 46, 000, and flows over an oscillating NACA0012 airfoil at Reynolds number of 40, 000. In both cases three-dimensional simulations of the two-dimensional airfoils have been carried out. The numerical solver is finally applied to perform a three-dimensional flapping wing simulation of flows over a semi-complex wing-body configuration.


Evaluation of: Hong A, Turner Z, Hamdy RF, Kossoff EH: Infantile spasms treated with the ketogenic diet: Prospective single-center experience in 104 consecutive infants. Epilepsia DOI: 10.1111/j.1528–1167.2010.02586.x (2010) (Epub ahead of print). The ketogenic diet is a nonpharmacologic treatment for epilepsy. Infantile spasm is a particular form of epilepsy in infants characterized by a high level of resistance to antiepileptic drugs and a poor outcome. In recent years, small studies have suggested that the ketogenic diet may be an interesting option for refractory infantile spasms. The presently evaluated prospective study reports the use of the ketogenic diet in 104 patients with infantile spasms. The ketogenic diet is an interesting treatment in infantile spasms and data strongly suggest that it should be used as a second- or third-line treatment in infantile spasms.

Sustainable economic development of the construction industry in Russia is only possible with the application of modern BIM-technologies. The construction enterprises are facing a number of problems during the process of implementing new information technologies the main problems being: the lack of funding for business development under the conditions of protracted financial crisis within 2014-2016 time frame, as well as the lack of a national industry standard of working with BIM-technologies. The step-by-step introduction of BIM- technology in Russia is planned by the Government for the period up to 2018. We offer an economic mechanism of lower production and transaction costs of development as a result of the BIM-technology introduction, taking into account successful experience in the regional economy of the Republic of Tatarstan. In our opinion the practically well-proven mechanism of introduction of innovative technologies in regional economy in public construction companies, constructing infrastructure projects, and private construction firms and approbation in practice and summarizing the lessons learned will enable one to develop building information modeling services market and ensure the sustainable economic development of the construction industry in the region. The improvement of the efficiency and transparency of the building production will create conditions so that they attract domestic and foreign institutional investors which, in turn, will allow a business to implement strategic development program for the prosperity of the economy.

: Extension of basic step methods of backwater computation to reaches of finite length is examined. Accuracies of commonly accepted hydraulic loss equations under particular water surface profile conditions are compared. Simulation of energy lines within a reach by parabolic curves is found to minimize error provided orientation of the axis of the parabola is selected in accordance with prevailing hydraulic conditions. Theoretical basis for an index reach length beyond which single-step computation from end to end of the reach must be in error is developed. Reduction of this reach length by suitable factors tailored to hydraulic conditions yields a mathematically defined allowable reach length for backwater computation. When reach length does not exceed this allowable reach length, no significant error may be detected. Automatic insertion of synthetic cross sections interpolated between surveyed cross sections when these are inadvertently spaced too far apart enables computation to proceed. This device is error-free for prismatic channls but may introduce error for irregular natural channels. Preliminary trials indicate that results so obtained may be accepted provided the fall in the original reach does not exceed from one to two feet. When this is exceeded, additional cross sections should be surveyed.


Visual strength is responsible for one of the mayor changes undergone by the digital press with Internet explosion and the increase of the Informational and Communicational Technologies. The present study analyzes the structure the digital press has taken and the role of the digital advertisement in the composition of their textual and iconic elements. The paper quantifies the picture representations volume and compares their presence on the digital natives papers with those coming from the traditional paper support. The results reveal that there is a mayor contribution of adverts on the native on-line press compare to the on-line paper arriving from the traditional media decreasing the information volume. At the same time the visual volume is boosted on the former compare to the digital media with a paper support. Altogether it can be said that visual component prompted the digital papers first page, being this effect enhanced on the native digital papers.

Kelly F. Roselle PROFESSIONALIZING PRACTICE: HOW PLC DEVELOPMENT ENHANCES TEACHING AND LEARNING 2010/2011 Dr. Corine Cadle Meredith Educational Leadership Professional learning communities (PLCs) are groups of professionals who work collaboratively to meet expressly stated goals. The groups analyze data and make decisions based upon that analysis. All parties closely monitor student achievement. A true PLC is focused on a specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, time-bound (SMART) goal. In this study, the PLC is designed to increase teacher use of researchbased best practices, which is referred to as ―professionalizing practice‖. This study focuses on a group of volunteer high school teachers who met regularly before and after school to discuss students, share ideas, collaboratively implement strategies, and gather and analyze data. The teachers were trained in PLCs, coached during meetings, and observed by the researcher. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the PLC as it relates to enhanced professional practice, in particular reflective practice and the use of data to


Background: In India sizeable populations of the pregnancies are either unplanned or unwanted and these pregnancies add to the population burden or the women resort to pregnancy. Emergency contraception or post-coital contraception refers to methods of contraception that can be used to prevent pregnancy in the first few days after intercourse Any woman of reproductive age may need emergency contraception at some point to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. Information on knowledge attitude and practice of ECPs among women is particularly important because of high rates of unwanted pregnancies as well as increasing STIs rates. Objectives: To assess the emergency contraceptive use among women in urban and rural area of Ambala district Haryana. Materials and methods: A Cross-sectional study was carried out among 583 females of reproductive age group in urban and rural area of Ambala district Haryana. A predesigned semi structured questionnaire was used to collect relevant data and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: Out of 583 females participants 540 were participates in the study. Majority of female (84.4%) belong to Hindu community. Though 44.6% females said they had heard about EC pills and only 20% had ever used EC pills. Near about 41.9% shows positive attitude towards EC Pills main source of information was mass/media. Conclusion: This study demonstrated lack of awareness knowledge and utilization of emergency contraceptives. Hence behavioral change strategies should be considered by responsible bodies to improve knowledge and bring attitudinal change on use of emergency contraception.


Segmental ureterectomy (SU) has been proven effective in cases of distal upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Nonetheless, SU has been performed infrequently in the real world, and there is no consensus on the preferred surgical technique in laparoscopic surgery. We describe our first experience of laparoscopic segmental ureterectomy (LSU) with psoas hitch ureteral reimplantation.


Abstract Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in plants. Chalcone synthase (CHS) catalyzes the first committed step in the flavonoids biosynthesis. CHS belongs to type ΙΙΙ polyketide synthases that are known for their broad substrate specificity and catalytic potential toward a wide range of thioesters, to produce diverse novel polyketides of pharmaceutical importance. In this study, an in silico approach was used to understand the structure and function of CHS protein from an important medicinal plant Coleus forskohlii. A homology model of CfCHS was built and docking studies were carried out using 25 ligands. Best four docked ligands in proposed binding pocket of CfCHS were: Cinnamoyl CoA, 2-Carbamoylbenzoyl CoA, Benzoyl CoA and p-Coumaroyl CoA. Cys 164, His 304, and Asn 337 were found to be catalytic residues of CfCHS. Further two important residues, Phe 216 and Phe 266, were found to be the gatekeeper residues involved in π–π interaction with ligands. Present study revealed broad spectrum substrate profile of CfCHS and important key residues involved in substrate binding. This is the first report of homology modeling and docking analysis of CHS from C. forskohlii.


A consideration of the taxonomy of Ranunculus gmelinii DC., R. hyper- boreus Rottb,, R. eschsoholtzii Schlect., R. pedatifidus J.E. Smith, R. pygmaeus Wahl,, R. nivalis L., and R. sulphureus Sol. is presented. The role of phenotypic plasticity is indicated as a factor contributing to the range of morphological variation in these species and to the confusion found in their taxonomy. The present work, by a re-examination of representative material collected throughout the North American range of the species, and the use of controlled growth conditions, has suggested new limits for some of the species. This has resulted in modifications of the descriptions of the species and/or the reduction of taxa to synonymy. -- The following are suggested to designate North American representatives of the species. Ranunculus gmelinii DC, R. hyperboreus Rottb., R. eschsoholtzii Schlect. var. eschscholtzii (for Alberta and north), R. pedatifidus J.E. Smith var. leiocarpus Fern., R. pygmaeus Wahl., R. nivalis L., and R. Sulphureus Sol. The following have been reduced to synonymy: R. hyperboreus Rottb. var. turquetillanus Polunin (synonym of R. gmelinii), R. natans C.A. Mey var. intertextus (Green) L. Benson (synonym of R. hyperboreus), R. pedatifidus J.E. Smith var. afflnis (R. Br.) L. Benson, R. pygmaeus Wahl. var. langianus Nathorst., and R. sulphureus Sol, var. intercedens Hult. -- The chromosome numbers for specimens of the species included in the work and some other species of Ranunculus, each from several localities, have been determined. A technique for staining Ranunculus chromosomes has been developed in this study. -- The usefulness of chemotaxonomy in providing characters has been studied and it has been found that secondary metabolic products; such as flavonoids and phenolics, are not suitable. -- A discussion of the status of R. gelidus Kar. & Kir, and R. cymbal- aria Pursh var. alpinus Hook, has been included.


Mindfulness and meditation strategies hold the potential to reduce stress and pain response amongst school-aged children. Stress affects children physically, emotionally, neurologically, and psychologically. Excessive amounts of stress could lead to detrimental consequences later in life. High levels of stress experienced by children can negatively impact these domains, unlike mild stressful events that support positive growth and development. Additionally, the child's perception of pain may be improved positivity during stressful events. Pain in children sometimes goes untreated and misunderstood by healthcare providers and caregivers of children. Implementation of mindfulness and meditation into the child's plan of care can enhance their self awareness, empathy, and complex problem solving skills while also supporting effective coping strategies. Meditation originated in the Far East, but it is becoming increasingly popular across the world, especially in the United States. Mindfulness and meditation, used as a complementary and alternative therapy (CAM), has been a beneficial noninvasive stress reduction intervention for children. CAM is especially important for children who are still developing their cognitive skills and learning to express abstract thinking abilities. Teaching mindfulness meditation practices such as body scan and Kirtan Kriya (KK), a yoga singing exercise, can be utilized in the healthcare setting with school-aged children for pain reduction and relaxation purposes.

Abstract There are relatively few studies in Australia and South-East Asian region that combine investigating models of math growth trajectories with predictors such as reasoning ability and reading comprehension skills. Math achievement is one of the major components of overall academic achievement and it is important to determine what factors (especially domain-general factors) predict levels of achievement over time. This study presents large-scale data (N = 5,886) from Australia to examine the trajectories of growth in math achievement and how problem solving (PS) ability and reading comprehension (RC) skills predict this growth among government school students (grades 3–8) in Victoria. Latent growth modelling showed that PS ability predicts growth in math achievement and this relationship is partially mediated by RC skill. Both PS ability and RC skill predict initial status in math achievement, but only PS ability predicts growth. The data also fit a model in which an improvement in general reasoning ability of students allows those with lower initial levels in math achievement to catch up. This can be interpreted as evidence that improving growth rates in PS ability may lift growth rates in math achievement.

The article is a fairly extensive description of the functions of cases in Russian, based on valency theory. Pervadingly a distinction is made between signs occypying nodes in the corresponding graph, and "node-less" signs. Each Russian case can function in both capacities, except the prepositional case, which is always nodeless. In addition to the traditional six cases, two more are postulated, namely the agreement case and the indeterminate case.


Scopolamine and hyoscyamine are tropane alkaloids employed in medicine as antispasmodics, preoperative medication and for the treatment of motion sickness. Since their chemical synthesis is difficult and expensive, these compounds are still extracted from plants that belong to several species of the Solanaceae. In this research, a biotechnological system for the production of both alkaloids was employed. Hairy roots of Brugmansia candida (syn. Datura candida), obtained through transformation with the soil pathogen Agrobacterium rhizogenes, were cultured in vitro. In an attempt to increase the productivity of the cultures, they were exposed to biotic elicitors (hemicellulase and homogenized B. candida roots) and stress agents (CuSO4). It was observed that hemicellulase had a positive effect on scopolamine (2‐fold increase) and, especially, hyoscyamine accumulation (4‐fold increase) in the roots. The homogenized roots also had a positive effect on alkaloid accumulation in the roots throughout the experiment (approximately 2.5‐fold). The main effects of CuSO4 were seen in the release of alkaloids to the medium, particularly at 24 and 48 (6 to 10‐fold increase). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The existence of morphodynamic equilibria of double‐inlet systems is investigated using a cross‐sectionally averaged morphodynamic model. The number of possible equilibria and their stability strongly depend on the forcing conditions and geometry considered. This is illustrated by considering a rectangular double‐inlet system forced by M2 tidal constituents only. Depending on the M2 amplitudes and phases at both entrances, no equilibrium, one equilibrium or multiple morphodynamic equilibria may exist. In case no equilibrium is found, the minimum water depth becomes zero somewhere in the system, reducing the double‐inlet system to two single‐inlet systems. In the other cases, the location of the minimum water depth and the direction of the tidally‐averaged sediment transport, as well as their actual values, depend strongly on the M2 tidal characteristics. Such parameter sensitivity is also observed when including the residual and M4 forcing contributions to the water motion, and when allowing for width variations. This suggests that, when considering a specific system, the number and stability of morphodynamic equilibria, as well as the characteristics of these quantities, can only be assessed by investigating that specific system in detail. As an example, the Marsdiep‐Vlie inlet system in the Dutch Wadden Sea is considered. It is found that, by using parameter values and a geometry characteristic for this system, the water motion and bathymetry in morphodynamic equilibrium are qualitatively reproduced. Also the direction and order of magnitude of the tidally‐averaged suspended sediment transport compare well with those obtained from a high‐complexity numerical model.


Abstract A new method is suggested for remote sounding of some electrical parameters (for example, density of the volume charge), in an atmosphere containing a high level of hydrodynamic turbulence or a developed small-scale (cell) structure. The method uses scattering of a sounding acoustic signal by active regions of the atmosphere with acoustic signal transformation into an electromagnetic one in a framework of electrohydrodynamics due to uncompensated spatial charge. Space-time synchronism of acoustic waves and atmosphere irregularities is important for this method. The theoretical foundation of the method are presented and estimation of possible effects given.
