A CONSTANTLY recurring theme in the literature devoted to dermatology is that the epidermis moves outwards. Thus : " The liuman epidermis is a multi-layered coat iu which there is constant movement outward from the inside " (Pinkns. 1954). " The life cycle of the epidermal cells, which moves newly formed cells gradually outward, also causes any extraneous matter that enters the epidermis from below to be moved to the surface " (Pinkus. 1054). '" In the normal epidermis, the direction of movement of cells from the jiroliferating population in the basal layer is in an outward direction " (Van Scott, 1964). Credit must be given to Bizzozero (1892) for introducing the same theme into tlie literature devoted to the epithelium of the small intestine. He reasoned that the eells resulting from the mitoses in the crypts are probably pushed out of the crypts to become ])art of the surface epithelium. Since that time, gastrocnttrologists have been puzzled by the mechanisms underlying this outward migration. Leblond and Stevens (1948) estimated the magnitude of the cellular ])ro<luction by assessing the number of mitoses present in the epithelium of tile crypts and by comparing this figure with the total number of cells present in botii crypts and villi. Tliey found that the epithelium of the crypts of Lieberkiihn in the duodenum and ileum of adult rats showed an unusually large number of cells undergoing mitosis and they ])ostulated that since the balance of (ell death versus production depended on loss visible only at the tips of the villi, celln formed in the crypts must move upward along the side of the villi to be ejected when they reach the tips of the latter. Leblond and Messier (1958), using tritiated thymidine to label cells, showed intensely labelled nuclei of chief and goblet cells in the crypts at 8 hours, in the lower third of the villi at '24 hours and in the upper third or even in the lumen at 72 hours. These observations were used to support the concept of migration of cells from crypts to the tips of tlie villi and similar studies were made on the oesophagus of the rat (Leblond, (Jreulich and Periera, 19t>4).


Study the consumer behavior has been always of great interest to researchers, specifically, when the researchers want to study the choice behaviors of customers with instant purchase. The aim of current study is to affect customer choice behaviors by making several changes in e. menu design, exactly when they want to order their interest food. This study is experimental and has been conducted in Iran. In this research, one restaurant was selected and by making four changes in price, layout, images and inserting calories in restaurant e. menu, the behaviors of 1000 customers in 5 non-consecutive weeks, were examined. The results showed that targeted changes in the restaurant menu under the study had a significant influence on consumer's behavior. The findings also proved that insert the image on the menu, had a direct relationship with consumer's choice of the same type of food. This variable has caused the greatest amount of sales.

There is a worrying lesson in the transition of democracy. The transition from one regime to the other regime lead to a change of political constellation. This change will bring religious, ethnic and other issues into political identity. Strengthening political identity in a plural society produces a conflict. To prevent it, in the situations of religious diversity, for example, the maintenance of relations between religious people becomes very important. The value of local culture can effectively develop harmonious relations among religious people. In this situation, the local political elite becomes the keyword for implementing those values. With ethnographic research methods in the Tengger community in four villages in Tosari District from 2012-2015, this study shows that the local culture and ritual values formed the basis of a harmonious diversity of life. By Kasadha and Karo, the community is united and lives in harmony. Keyword: local cultural values, local elites, Kasadha and Karo.


This paper presents a systematic investigation of singly periodic discrete vortex configurations that move uniformly without change of shape or size. The general condition for existence of such equilibria is that SV=0, where S=∑Γ is the net circulation within a single period and V is (the complex conjugate of) the vortex velocity. Those configurations that satisfy this condition are determined for two and three vortices per period.

The aim of this work was the application of the ASM3 models simulations to obtain most favorable operations conditions in membrane bioreactors for efficient organic matter removal, sludge production reduction and oxygen transfer costs. Simulations were realized used the ASM3 model (Activated Sludge Model)(Henze et al., 2000) for three theoretical influents. The organic load rate (OLR) and the hydraulic retention time (HRT) were fixed at 1 kg COD m -3 d -1 and 0.4 d -1 respectively and the sludge retention time (SRT) was varied from 2.5 d to 67 d. The steady state values of the active biomass concentration (X BH ), the total biomass concentration (X SS ) (active biomass + inert suspended solid), and the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) were obtained for each condition. Thus the observed conversion yield was evaluated (Y OBS ). The results show that, if the SRT increases, the X BH increases until a maximal value. In the other hand, a constant increase evolution of the X SS is observed, without reach a saturation value. Therefore, the suspended solids accumulation after this maximal value are due to a dilution of the active biomass by inert compounds coming from endogenous respiration and also, inert influent. If the OLR restricted the amount of active biomass, on the contrary, high SRT induced high X SS concentration, thus generating rheological sludge properties that penalize the phenomena of mixing, oxygenation and membrane separation.

The ion channel TRPV1 is mainly expressed in small diameter dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, which are involved in the sensation of acute noxious thermal and chemical stimuli. Direct modifications of the channel by diverse signalling events have been intensively investigated, but little is known about the composition of modulating macromolecular TRPV1 signalling complexes. Here, we hypothesize that the novel adaptor protein ankyrin‐rich membrane spanning protein/kinase D interacting substrate (ARMS) interacts with TRPV1 and modulates its function in rodent DRG neurons.

Friction spot welding is a solid state welding process suitable to obtain spot like-joints in overlap configuration. The process is particularly useful to weld lightweight materials in similar and dissimilar combination, and therefore an interesting alternative to other joining techniques (rivets, resistance welding, etc). In the current study the effect of the process parameters, such as plunge depth, plunge time and rotational speed, are thoroughly investigated in order to obtain the highest lap shear strength. The Taguchi method was used, as well as analysis of variance (ANOVA) to study the importance of each working parameter. The results show that the plunge depth is the leading parameter in order to obtain the best lap shear strength. An analytical model was used to predict the optimum performance of the design, based on the optimal parameter. Confirmation tests were carried out to evaluate the agreement between the predicted and the experimental values. The maximum response was obtained, although the reliability of the predictions was relatively low.

2022 In this study, the influence of gadolinium dopant composition on the microwave response performance of yttrium iron garnet was investigated. A hydraulic pressing was used to create the ferrite garnet sample. As the test material, pure oxide powder with an average grain size of 1 micron was employed. A pressure force of 700 MPa was used to compact the sample pellets. The sintering process was carried out in a high-temperature tube furnace at 1450 o C for five hours. This research shows that the calculated findings match the experimental data, demonstrating that the addition of gadolinium reduces the total magnetic moment and insertion loss of yttrium iron garnet. Adding 14 to 25% mol of gadolinium to one mol of iron oxide resulted in an insertion loss value near to zero, according to the calculations. To validate this calculation value, the microwave response of a sample of yttrium iron garnet with 15% mol of gadolinium doping was measured at frequency 4 GHz, yielding an insertion loss parameter value of 0.25 dB, which has a crucial function in lowering the insertion loss value of yttrium iron


The aim of this community service activity program is to empower Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the village of Banjarsari-Gresik through online marketing training of products that are characteristic of the area. This online marketing training is actually a continuation of the previous community service program that was carried out before the pandemic, for that now when the endemic is starting to be empowered again in the hope of increasing MSMEs income. This online marketing training technique was chosen because of the need and seeing the problems that occur. The intended need is to provide benefits to MSMEs actors so they can use online media, as well as problems that occur in the form of conventional marketing due to a lack of understanding of the use of online media for marketing. The results of this activity program show that there is enthusiasm for MSMEs actors to use online media in a simple way through applications that are closest to daily activities such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram.


The structure of the shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction generated by a 3D swept compression corner has been investigated through a combined experimental and theoretical research program. The flowfield geometry is defined by the streamwise compression angle alpha and the sweep angle lambda of the corner. The present study examines two different configurations, namely (alpha, lambda) = (24 deg, 40 deg) and (24 deg, 60 deg) at Mach 3 and Re sigma infinity about 9 x 10 exp 5. The theoretical model is the 3D Reynolds-averaged compressible Navier-Stokes equations with turbulence incorporated using a turbulent eddy viscosity. The calculated flowfields display general agreement with experimental data for surface pressure and good agreement with experimental flowfield profiles of pitot pressure and yaw angle. The principal feature of the flowfield is a large vortical structure approximately aligned with the corner. The entrainment of incoming fluid into the vortical structure is strongly affected by the sweep angle lambda. Viscous (turbulent and molecular) effects appear to be important only in the immediate vicinity of the surface and in an isolated region within the interaction and near the corner.


It is shown that the capacity of neural networks for storing associations under error‐tolerant conditions is linear in n, where n is the number of neurons in the network. Error‐tolerance is introduced into the retrieval mechanism by specifying components in the retrieved memory which are to be ignored (i.e. are treated as dont‐cares) by means of a binomial distribution of choice. The epsilon capacity Ce(n) is defined to be the largest rate of growth of the number of associations that can be stored such that with high probability the retrieved memory after one synchronous step differs from the desired associated memory in no more than (essentially) a fraction e components. It is shown that for large n, and with 0≤e<1/2, the epsilon capacity Ce(n) is at most 2n/(1−2e). The result is universal in the sense that any other mode of choice of dont‐care components with essentially a fraction e of components being dont‐care will have an upper bound of 2n/(1−2e) on capacity. The results are not tied to any particul...


Background/Case Studies: Rh deficiency phenotypes are rare and expressed by an absent (Rh-null) or decreased (Rh-mod) expression of Rh antigens. Regulatory Rh-null phenotype is produced by homozygote or compound heterozygote mutations in the RHAG gene with normal RHD and RHCE. Rh-mod phenotype shares this exact mechanism, so it can only be distinguished from Rh-null by specific antibodies (Anti-Rh17 and Anti-Rh-29) or absorption and elution techniques. A female blood donor who seemingly lacked Rh antigens was founded during the routine screening. This study aimed to analyze this donor's molecular background and red blood cell antigen expression. Study Design/Methods: Red blood cell serotyping and antibody screening/identification were performed, and the expression levels of Rh antigens were determined by absorption and elusion tests. A complete blood count and smear, reticulocyte count, osmotic fragility test, and fetal hemoglobin detection were also conducted. The genomic DNA was extracted from total blood, and whole exome sequencing was performed to analyze the RHD, RHCE, and RHAG genes. Results/Findings: ABO and Rh typing showed an O Rh negative result, with the Rh phenotype showing no expression of any Rh antigen. The extended RBC phenotyping showed K-, k+, Kp(a-b+) Jk(a b+), M+N+S +s , Fy(a+b+), Le(a+), P1+. Irregular antibody screening was negative. The absorption and elution test assays demonstrated an extremely weak expression of D (2+), c (+/ ), and e (+/ , 1+) antigens, but not E antigen. Additional anti-E absorption and elution tests with a DccEE sample (positive control) showed a decreased agglutination (2+), suggesting a decreased sensitivity of the antiserum (MS260). The individual had the following RH genotype: RHD*01.01/RHD*01El.32 (RHD*D/ RHD*DEL32), RHCE*01/RHCE*03 (RHCE*ce/RHCE*cE), and the Rh-null variant, RHAG*01.N26 (c.544A>G; p.Gly182Ser) was homozygote. Thus, the individual had an Rh-mod phenotype. In addition, increased osmotic fragility, reticulocytosis (corrected reticulocytes 3.0%), and stomatocytosis (1+), with no anemia or fetal hemoglobin, were observed. Conclusions: Although the variant RHAG*01.N26 has been previously described as conducing to Rh-null phenotype, the absorption and elution tests in this blood donor showed an extremely weak expression of D, c, and e antigens. Thus, this variant did not conduce to Rh-null but to Rh-mod phenotype, with increased osmotic fragility, reticulocytosis, and stomatocytosis but no anemia or fetal hemoglobin. The negative results of the anti-E absorption and elusion test were due to low sensitivity, as previously reported in a family with Rh-mod phenotype. However, the absorption and elution tests are fundamental in analyzing the genotype/phenotype correlation in variants within the Rh system.


The plasma transport matrix is formulated using the kinetic equation for the particles in the stochastic magnetic field. The radial electric field generation is analyzed using this transport matrix. This thermoelectric field is dictated by the difference between the electron heat flux and the ion heat flux. We calculate the spatial structures of the radial electric field and the temperature in the stochastic field region. 7 refs., 3 figs.


This paper deals with 3D object understanding from 2D images, including articulated objects in active vision environment. Usually an articulated object is divided into two portions: main rigid portion and articulated portion. It is more complicated than `rigid' object in that the relative positions, shapes or angles between the main portion and the articulated portion have essentially infinite variations, in addition to the infinite variations of each individual rigid portions due to orientations, rotations and topological transformations. A new method generalized from linear combination is employed to investigate such problems. It uses very few learning samples, and can described, understand, and recognized 3D articulated objects while the objects status is being changed in an active vision environment.

The orthodontic bracket is an essential component in fixed orthodontic appliances. One of the materials commonly used in orthodontic brackets is stainless steel. Stainless steel orthodontic brackets have good deformation and corrosion resistance. Still, corrosion resistance is compromised by certain conditions in the oral cavity, such as salivary pH due to food and beverage consumption and toothpaste and mouthwash. One of the herbal plants that are widely used for dental and oral health is green betel leaf. Green betel leaves have an acidic pH that may cause corrosion. Corrosion has a detrimental effect on the brackets because it causes a continuous loss of nickel ions. The purpose is to determine the number of nickel ions released from stainless steel orthodontic brackets due to immersion in the green betel leaf extract. This type of research is a laboratory experimental research design with a post-test control group design. The test was carried out on 27 samples divided into three groups. Brackets were immersed in 25% green betel leaf extract, artificial saliva, and a mixture of 25% green betel leaf extract and artificial saliva for 48 hours and measured using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotome (AAS). The results showed the most significant release of nickel ions occurred in the 25% green betel leaf extract group with a value of 16.37 mg/Kg, and the minor release of nickel ions occurred in the artificial saliva control group with a weight of 1.95 mg/Kg. The conclusion is that green betel leaf extract influences the release of nickel ions in stainless steel orthodontic brackets.


Objective: To compare efficacy and safety of lacosamide versus carbamazepine controlled-release (carbamazepine-CR) in a double-blind non-inferiority trial (SP0993; NCT01243177). Background: Additional monotherapy options are needed for the treatment of epilepsy. Design/Methods: Patients (≥16 years) with newly-diagnosed epilepsy and focal (partial-onset) or generalized tonic-clonic seizures were randomized 1:1 to twice-daily lacosamide/carbamazepine-CR. Flexible dosing (lacosamide: 200/400/600mg/day; carbamazepine-CR: 400/800/1200mg/day) was based on seizure-control. Primary assessments performed for full-analysis (FAS; patients with ≥1 dose of trial medication) and per-protocol sets (PPS), with subgroup analyses for FAS patients with confirmed focal epilepsy (FE-FAS). Primary variable: 6-month seizure-freedom at last-evaluated-dose. Non-inferiority criteria based on treatment-difference: lower limit of 95%CI>−12%; relative ratio to carbamazepine-CR (RR)>−20%. Results: Of 888 patients randomized, 886 were included in FAS (LCM: 444; CBZ-CR: 442 [FE-FAS: 405; 405]) and 805 in PPS (408; 397). Similar proportions of lacosamide- and carbamazepine-CR-treated patients completed 6-months (FAS: 73.6%; 69.7%) and 12-months (59.5%; 59.3%) on last-evaluated-dose without seizure. Kaplan-Meier-estimated 6-month seizure-freedom indicated non-inferiority of lacosamide to carbamazepine-CR for FAS (89.8%; 91.1%; treatment-difference [95%CI]: −1.3% [−5.5%, 2.8%]; RR: −6.0%), PPS (91.5%; 92.8%; −1.3% [−5.3%, 2.7%]; −5.7%) and FE-FAS subgroup (89.5%; 91.2%; −1.8% [−6.1%, 2.6%]; −6.7%). Estimates for 12-month seizure-freedom (FAS) were similar with lacosamide and carbamazepine-CR (77.8%; 82.7%; −4.9% [−10.9%, 1.1%]; −13.2%). Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were reported by 328 [73.9%] lacosamide-treated and 332 [75.1%] carbamazepine-CR-treated patients (Drug-related AEs: 165 [37.2%]; 203 [45.9%]). 530 patients (lacosamide: 266 [59.9%]; carbamazepine-CR: 264 [59.7%]) completed trial. Most common reasons for discontinuation: AEs (48 [10.8%]; 69 [15.6%]); consent withdrawn (46 [10.4%]; 38 [8.6%]); lack of efficacy (47 [10.6%]; 31 [7.0%]). Conclusions: In this trial with flexible-dosing (similar to clinical practice), lacosamide was non-inferior to carbamazepine-CR as assessed by 6-month seizure-freedom. Similar efficacy of both treatments was supported by 12-month seizure-freedom rates, and lacosamide was generally well tolerated.

In this most recent volume of International Anesthesiology Clinics, Hurford and his colleagues have reviewed the anesthesiologist's Holy Grail of airway management. The book opens with a standard thorough review of the salient anatomy and standard approaches to direct laryngoscopy and ends with the complications of intubation and alternate airway control techniques that nicely anticipates the flow of the remaining chapters. Unfortunately, because of the size constraints of the monographs, no mention of newer laryngoscopy blade designs or techniques is included. The next chapter covers perhaps the most important change in airway management in the last decade, the use of the LMA as a rescue device and a conduit for intubation. Such is the pace of the LMA's growth and development that even as this review is published there are still newer models being introduced which will require further research and experience to determine how they fit into clinical care. The next two chapters, "The Difficult Airway" and "Endotracheal Tubes and Airway Appliances," round out the initial broad review. It is a telling statement that the techniques that our specialty currently uses to anticipate a difficult intubation have not advanced nearly as much as the technologies and techniques that we use to prevent patient harm when conventional direct laryngoscopy or mask ventilation is not possible. The remaining chapters are advanced topics that can be viewed as the maturation and expansion of anesthesiology well beyond the operating room. Percutaneous tracheostomy is explained in clear detail. Although the authors show a clear economic advantage to percutaneous tracheostomy, they did not present any data (and none may exist) to compare the rates of complication of conventional versus percutaneous tracheostomies. The next two chapters cover mechanical and burn based airway trauma. These chapters do a very good job in showing how the anticipation of airway issues based on literature review and experience can aid the anesthesiologist to make early interventions in patient care that can meaningfully decrease loss of the airway resulting from progression of ongoing disease. Of the remaining chapters, the review of the management of the parturient's airway and of fiberoptic bronchoscopy are both well written and thorough reviews. They will be of benefit to readers at all levels of experience. The chapters on "Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation and Heliox Therapy" and "Swallowing Disorders" are the best in the volume from the point of view of expanding the knowledge of anesthesiologists in routine practice. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is a familiar topic, especially with the increasing awareness of obstructive sleep apnea. The tips on how to make it work will aid in the initiation of these techniques in other situations. The analysis of the physics of Heliox therapy goes a long way in making the choice of appropriate candidates for this therapy more logical and intuitive. The explanations of swallowing disorders and their treatments, particularly for patients with a tracheostomy, should promote better awareness of this largely ignored area of care and promote better integrated plans of safely feeding these patients. Overall, this volume is exemplary of the whole International Anesthesiology Clinics series. It provides a broad view of an important topic and seeks to expand the knowledge base of its readers. At the same time, it incorporates new topics that are not commonly associated with the traditional teachings and uses the insights from these fields to provide an impetus for even the most experienced anesthesiologist to reconsider and improve their patient care.


A nonlinear observer on the Special Euclidean group SE(3) for full pose estimation, that takes the system outputs on the real projective space directly as inputs, is proposed. The observer derivation is based on a recent advanced theory on nonlinear observer design. A key advantage with respect to existing pose observers on SE(3) is that we can now incorporate in a unique observer different types of measurements such as vectorial measurements of known inertial vectors and position measurements of known feature points. The proposed observer is extended allowing for the compensation of unknown constant bias present in the velocity measurements. Rigorous stability analyses are equally provided. Excellent performance of the proposed observers are shown by means of simulations.


* An " inside story "in simple terms of the physicist's attack on the problems of fibre Atructure. † Associate Professor of Textile Engineering, in charge of Textile Research, Mass. Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass. "... the executive today of an important industry involving a complex technique should himself understand research to a sufficient extent to speak the language and to mix freely and usefully with research workers. It is ,just as necessary, in my opinion, for the modern executive to understand the examination of fibres under polarized light as to know the mechanics of a spinning frame or be able to read a balance sheet. Of course he cannot hope to know all the underlying optics, any more than he would attempt to operate personally any and all of the machines in his plants, or keep up with all of the intricacies of present day cost accounting systems; but he can understand those things which are important to his business, and this is now one of them."

The invention relates to a novel austenitic cold heading stainless steel and a method for manufacturing a steel wire thereof. The stainless steel comprises the following chemical components in weight percentage: 15.0 to 16.0 percent of Cr, 8.0 to 10.0 percent of Mn, 3.0 to 4.0 percent of Ni, 2.0 to 4.0 percent of Al, less than or equal to 0.06 percent of C, less than or equal to 0.10 percent of N, less than or equal to 1.00 percent of Si, less than or equal to 0.035 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.015 percent of S, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. The method for manufacturing the steel wire comprises the following steps: using a rotary cutting or scraping cutting method to strip off the surface layer with the thickness of between 0.1 and 0.15 millimeter of a stainless steel wire material; performing annealing treatment on the wire material at a temperature of between 800 and 900 DEG C; and performing the following treatments on the wire material: skin film treatment, drying, rough drawing, intermediate drawing, wire rolling, cleaning agent surface treatment, continuous furnace bright annealing, finished product drawing or surface film coating, and oxalate coating treatment. The austenitic cold heading stainless steel has a plurality of advantages of low yield ratio, high plasticity, good oxidation resistance, good low temperature resistance, good diamagnetism, intergranular corrosion resistance and the like, thus the austenitic cold heading stainless steel can partially substitute the prior Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steel such as 0Cr18Ni9.


A new, accurate, and fast approach for determining the temperature coefficients of the thin film materials used in RF BAW components has been developed allowing the precise modeling of BAW components at different ambient temperatures. The presented method is based on the investigation of several resonance frequencies of the resonators with different layer-stacks. The problem of determining the temperature coefficients from broadband resonator simulations and measurements was formulated as an overdetermined linear system of equations and solved by using the weighted least square method. The presented approach has been verified by measurements.


This research aims to conduct the multi-response optimization for abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) of Aluminum 7075 metal matrix composites. The experiments were conducted with three levels of AWJM factors such as pressure, standoff distance, and traverse speed. The experiments were designed using Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array. The influence of AWJM parameters was assessed by measuring the outcomes like material removal rate, surface roughness, and taper angle. The single response optimization was obtained through Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratio analysis, and multi-response optimization was achieved with Taguchi–data envelopment analysis-based ranking (DEAR). From DEAR, the optimal AWJM parameter 180 MPa of pressure, 3 mm of standoff distance, and 40 mm/min traverse speed was found. After optimization, the surface roughness and taper angle were reduced by 5.44% and 10.92%, respectively. The influence of cutting parameters on the outcomes was examined through the analysis of variance. It was noted that traverse speed had a significant effect and a contribution of 47.79%. After AWJM, the surface was evaluated using SEM analysis, ploughing marks, ductile rupture, and a small crack were observed.


The legitimacy of linguistic narrative is baffling for modern western intellectual.In postmodern theories of history,theorists of historical poetics,either through Derrida's concept of 'play of signs' or through Foucault's idea of 'discursive formation',can never avoid the problem of representational crisis and theoretical blindness.New historicism advocates the transformation from traditional social history to pan-cultural history,enables historical poetics to break through the textual limits towards cultural studies and finally achieves the symbolic dialogue and interpretive resonance between historical text and past culture.


The present study was conducted on the Tigris River in Baghdad Governorate which starting from Al-Muthana bridge to Al-Zaufurania City before it's jointed with Diyalla River. Six Sites were chosen on Tigris River along Baghdad Governorate. Surface water samples were collected bimonthly from January to December 2013 to measuring the concentrations and distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) once every two months and predicting their source of the samples of surface water. The lowest of total PAHs value was 0.007 ppm which recorded during October 2013 at Site 3 where as the highest value was 0.279 ppm which recorded during August 2013.The lowest value of 0.0002 ppm was recorded for Fluorene and Fluoranthene while the highest value of 0.2 ppm for Naphthalene was recorded at Site 3.The composition patterns of PAHs in water were determined. The lowest and highest value of 0.0037 and 0.204 ppm was recorded for 2-ring PAHs at site 3 and 6 during summer and winter of 2013, respectively. Whereas the lowest and highest value of 0.001 and 0.095 were recorded for 3-ring PAHs at site 5 and 6 during winter and summer 2013, respectively. On the other hand, the lowest and highest values of 4-ring PAHs were 0.001 and 0.078 which recorded at site 4 and 6, respectively, during summer 2013. The lowest and the highest concentration of 0.0023 and 0.179 were observed for 5-ring PAHs at site 1 during winter and spring 2013, respectively. The highest concentration of 6-ring PAHs was 0.03 ppm which recorded at site 1 in summer 2013 whereas the lowest concentration was 0.0031 ppm which recorded at site 1 and 3 in winter and spring 2013, respectively. According to the values of ratios (Phen/Ant, Flur/Py, LMW-PAHs/HMW-PAHs), the distribution of PAHs in water may have the origin from different source pyrogenic and petrogenic at site 4 and 5 and from pyrogenic and urban air in other sites of the present study.


In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping.By combining the potential well method and energy analysis method and constructing stable and unstable sets,we prove that the global solution exists if the initial data are in the "stable set" and that under the presence of the strong damping the solutions uniformly approach zero at an exponential decay rate.Finally,we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solution blow up in finite time.


AbstrAct Medical communicators encounter a wide variety of ethical situations. To facilitate ethical decision-making, AMWA workshop leaders developed a five-step process known as the RIGHT model. The first step is to recognize the ethical situation, clearly and succinctly define it, and identify all stakeholders. The second step is to investigate the facts and assumptions, especially relevant statutes, regulations, and guidelines including the AMWA Code of Ethics, and to identify conflicts of interest. The third step is to gauge the situation and decide by making a list of all possible courses of action and then choosing the action(s) that maximizes benefit and minimizes cost and risk for the majority of stake-holders. The fourth step is to handle the situation and implement the decision. The fifth step is to tailor the decision by evaluating it for lessons learned and revising it as needed. This article includes a case report to demonstrate the practical application of each step in the RIGHT model.


Our purpose has been to develop a set of procedures for evaluating a speech reception aid on young, profoundly deaf children with limited linguistic skills. The subjects were two males and two female children ranging in age from 3 years and 7 months to 4 years and 3 months. Pure tone averages range from 93 dB HL to no response. The tasks reported are a subset of a broader range of tasks being investigated as tools for analyzing the effects of speech reception aids on the growth of linguistic skills. The current tasks have stressed focal training and reflect fundamental speech reception skills. At the most rudimentary level is the detection task, measuring the child's awareness of sound. The second task tests the child's ability to perceive and reproduce the syllable structure of brief utterances. The final task uses animal sounds to determine reception and production skills at a segmental level. The study ran for 6 weeks during which half the children began the study with the aid on and then switched to a...

A survey of students was undertaken to assess the knowledge of college-age urban students about HPV in Chicago, Illinois, and to compare the knowledge of male students to that of their female counterpart. We also compared the knowledge of those students from urban areas to other students who reside in rural communities. We also elicited from the respondents their suggested primary preventive strategies to enable them to avoid HPV infection. Those students who enrolled in the study who were quite knowledgeable about HPV were 299 (68%) of the entire respondents. The knowledge of HPV by gender was statistically significant. Statistically significant difference in knowledge was also observed between age groups and knowledge about HPV (F = 6.845, P < 0.001). The research team therefore recommended that interdisciplinary undergraduate course focusing on issues in health was recommended for undergraduate students.

This paper focuses on the application of visual search interfaces in the context of digital libraries. The main objective is to represent a simplified and intuitive interactive approach for retrieving similar publications based on a preselected one. This would enable the scholar to perform more detailed research with the reduced mental workload, in comparison to traditional keyword-based search. The proposed approach, in an innate and conceptual manner, makes possible the application of suggested terms from other external resources. Accordingly, the set of terms can be extended with synonyms, narrowed, broadened or closely related terms. Such suggestions may result from a simple language thesaurus, any SKOS modelling scheme, and the deployment of word embedding approaches, such as word2vec. To provide a better picture of why a particular publication is presented in the results list, the matched terms are colored.


Abstract This paper presents an approximated or -saddle point solution for a nonlinear game proposed to solve the coordination of a set of planar robots. The dynamic equation of each individual robot is given by the polynomial approximation of the nonlinear model, this introduces interesting challenges in the coordination control problem. Due to the difficulties in finding an exact solution, we explore the possibilities of the so-called state-dependent Riccati equations to find a near or -saddle point solution that effectively drives of the robots to a particular coordinated movement. A pre-designed trajectory is given to one of the robots in order to achieve the coordination by the group of robots. The proposed solution is given as a polynomial Riccati-like state-dependent differential equation which utilizes a -linear form tensor representation for its polynomial part. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the approach.


New contributors are critical to open source projects. Without them, the project will eventually atrophy and become inactive, or its experienced contributors will bias the future directions the project takes. However, new contributors can also bring a greater risk of introducing vulnerable code. For projects that have a need for both secure implementations and a strong, diverse contributor community, this conflict is a pressing issue. One avenue being pursued that could facilitate this goal is rewriting components of C or C++ code in Rust– a language designed to apply to the same domains as C and C++, but with greater safety guarantees. Seeking to answer whether Rust can help keep new contributors from introducing vulnerabilities, and therefore ease the burden on maintainers, we examine the Oxidation project from Mozilla, which has replaced components of the Firefox web browser with equivalents written in Rust. We use the available data from these projects to derive parameters for a novel application of learning curves, which we use to estimate the proportion of commits that introduce vulnerabilities from new contributors in a manner that is directly comparable. We find that despite concerns about ease of use, first-time contributors to Rust projects are about 70 times less likely to introduce vulnerabilities than first-time contributors to C++ projects. We also found that the rate of new contributors increased overall after switching to Rust, implying that this decrease in vulnerabilities from new contributors does not result from a smaller pool of more skilled developers, and that Rust can in fact facilitate new contributors. In the process, we also qualitatively analyze the Rust vulnerabilities in these projects, and measure the efficacy of the common SZZ algorithm for identifying bug-inducing commits from their fixes.


Until today most export sales to Europe have been done on a FOB U.S.-East Coast and U.S.-Gulf basis, meaning that many U.S. coal exporters are not too familiar with European coal ports and the onward transportation possibilities. However, because of the potential growth of especially steam coal deliveries to the electricity generating industry in Europe, there seems to be an interest to get involved in some direct kind of way in the European coal market, even though today U.S. steam coal has a difficult time competing in the world market. A world market that is still characterized by a considerable surplus of supply over demand and a downward trend in prices expressed in dollars. European Coal Stevedoring with its majority shareholding in the largest dry bulk terminal in Europe - EMO Maasvlakte Terminal, Rotterdam - appreciates to have this opportunity to confront the U.S. exporters with coal transshipment and distribution in Europe and the competitive powers of the Gateway to Europe: Rotterdam, the Number One Port in the World.


While the modern linguistic studies emphasizes the importance of an understanding of the collocation in order to achieve non-violation of the rules of language use by the community, the translation studies concern with the roles of collocation in ensuring a precise translation. Collocation is regarded as one of the crucial parts in translating metaphorical connotations as it captures the meaning that transcends its literal translation and it cannot be quoted literally otherwise it will spoil the intended meaning. This study aims to highlight the importance of collocation in achieving an exact translation especially in translating the Arabic metaphorical connotations into the Malay language based on semantic equivalence between the source and target text to the closest possible to the meaning of the original Arabic text. This study employs descriptive and analytical methods. Based on the examples, the study concludes the need of taking into account the role of collocation in the translation of the Arabic metaphorical connotation to the Malay language in order to achieve the precise translation as well as to determine the semantic equivalence. Therefore, this research suggests that the translator should choose the correct combination of words in the target language so that he does not come out with a correlation that is incompatible with the nature of the target language.


In this information age, web crawling on the internet is a prime source for data collection. And with the surface web already being dominated by giants like Google and Microsoft, much attention has been on the Dark Web. While research on crawling approaches is generally available, a considerable gap is present for URL extraction on the dark web. With most literature using the regular expressions methodology or built-in parsers, the problem with these methods is the higher number of false positives generated with the Dark Web, which makes the crawler less efficient. This paper proposes the dedicated parsers methodology for extracting URLs from the dark web, which when compared proves to be better than the regular expression methodology. Factors that make link harvesting on the Dark Web a challenge are discussed in the paper.


Poverty is an enormous problem in numerous nations including Indonesia. Poverty can be measured using several indicators, including the unemployment rate, the percentage of poor people, expenditures per capita, and the poverty line. The purpose of this study is to categorize Indonesian provinces based on poverty indicators in 2021 using K-Means with the Silhouette Coefficient approach. Based on the silhouette coefficient approach, there are two clusters that are created. The first cluster is a high-poverty-rate regional group that includes the provinces of Aceh, Bengkulu, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, Central Sulawesi, Gorontalo, Maluku, West Papua, and Papua. On the other hand, the second cluster is an association of regions with a low poverty rate, and it includes 25 provinces. The greater number of provinces in the low poverty rate cluster implies that the poverty rate in Indonesia in 2021 is included in the low category


Abstract : There is some question whether or not US Army combat engineers have the equipment necessary to provide mobility support to offensive operations as would be found in Air Land Battle. The current status of engineer equipment and its shortcomings are described. Recent trends in research, developmemt and acquisition of engineer equipment to provide counterobstacle and countermine support on the battlefield are discussed. The inability of engineeers to obtain the priority and funds needed to modernize their equipment is attributed to a general lack of understanding and appreciation of the necessity of engineer support in the offense. To counter this condition the need to retain the initiative in the offense, the nature of the Soviet threat, and weaknesses in realistic combat engineer combined arms training are cited. The conclusion is that weaknesses in combat engineering equipmemt can be overcome only with support of the other combat arms who must carefully weight the risks incurred during offensive operations if engineer equipment does not complement the modernize systems of the combined arms team.

Surface formation of BaCO3 mainly proceeds by transfer of Y to the Ba-site while a BaZrO3 formula unit is consumed.


Gas hydrate is a solid material, formed from water and hydrocarbon (mainly methane) having micro particle weight, which is also known as clathrate. It is extensively distributed in oceanic and polar sediments, where the temperature is very low and the pressure is very high. Under such conditions, methane gas gets crystallized and converts into solid gas hydrate. Large number of storages being available world wide and its being a suitable source of energy, attention of the scientists of the whole world attracted towards gas hydrate. There is enough possibility of accumulated energy in methane deposited under hydrate sediment. There is an assumption that gas hydrates have double energy as compared to total fossil fuel energy storage of the world. But as yet there is no sufficient knowledge regarding all specifications of gas hydrate and its proper distribution. Even today there is no proper technique available for the estimation of quantity of gas hydrates. Different parameters such as bathymetry, Sea bed temperature, sedimentation, total organic carbon content etc. have indicated that there are suitable conditions for the deposition of gas hydrate in coastal areas of eastern and western India. Therefore, it was felt necessary to identify gas hydrate and the determination of its quantity for evaluation of its possible resources, near the boundaries of Indian continent, sufficient geo-scientific, geochemical and geo-physical analysis should be carried out. Leakage of gas from the bottom of the ocean in any region; availability of Bottom Simulating Reflector (BSR) in the region; irregular quantities of chloride and sulfate etc. are the useful indications by means of which presence of gas hydrate in deep ocean can be identified. To identify hydrate and quantity free gas tomography, AVO wave structure etc. are some very important resources. In those areas where there is no indication from seismic method, gas hydrates can be identified by irregularity of electrical resistance. Here, we have described some important explorational studies and techniques conducted in deep water, by which along with identification of the gas hydrate oriented areas gas hydrate and the quantity of free methane gas present in the lower layer can be estimated. Department of Ocean Development has commenced duly planned scientific exploration work in this important area.


The reproductive characteristics of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer),with three life cycles in different regions of China were studied and the survival and reproduction of the aphid was analyzed with Weibull models The results showed that the prereproduction period and the maximum reproduction date for the aphid with a holocyclic life cycle from Changchun,Jilin Province were≥7 days and the 11th day respectively For the aphid with a holocyclic and/or anholocyclic life cycle from Nanjing,Jiangsu Province and Yiyang,Henan Province,and a anholocyclic life cycle from Chengzhou,Hunan Province they were7 days and the 9th day respectively Significant differences of r m , R 0 and T were found between the aphid populations with different body colors from the same region or from different regions with the same body color,but significant differences of mean life span were only found between red and brown forms of the aphid from different regions


The search for new high-performance antimicrobial compounds remains one of the most important tasks of modern pharmaceutical chemistry, despite the wide range of modern natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases. This is especially true for the naturally occurring compounds, new non-toxic and effective drugs can be created by their chemical modification for the treatment of various infectious pathologies. Recent researches in this area pay significant interest to new synthetic derivatives of xanthine. The aim of this paper is to elaborate simple laboratory methods of 8-aminoderivatives of 7-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)theophylline synthesis, unspecified in scientific papers earlier, and to study their physical, chemical and biological properties. Materials and methods of research. The melting point has been determined with the help of an open capillary method with PTP-M device. Elemental analysis has been performed with the help of the instrument Elementar Vario L cube, NMR-spectra have been taken on a spectrometer Bruker SF-400 (operating frequency of 400 MHz, solvent DMSO, internal standard – TMS). Study of antimicrobial and antifungal activity of synthesized compounds has been performed by two-fold serial dilution method. Standard test strains have been used for the study: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Candida albicans ATCC 885–653. Basic preparation solution has been prepared at a concentration of 1 mg in 1 mL of DMSO. Results and their discussion. Through the interaction of 8-bromotheophylline with the styrene oxide in propanol-1 environment was obtained an 8-bromo-7-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)theophylline, which under short-time heating up with primary amines of various structure or piperazine derivatives in aqueous dioxane or propanol-1 leads to the replacement of the bromine atom at the 8-position to form corresponding 8-aminosubstituted. Structure of synthesized compounds has been definitely proved by NMR-spectroscopy. Primary screening research of antimicrobial and antifungal activity of 8-aminosubstituted of 7-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)theophylline shows that these compounds reveal moderate and weak activity in concentrations 25–200 mcg/ml. Conclusions.  Accessible laboratory methods have been elaborated for synthesis of 8-aminoderivatives of 7-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)theophylline. The NMR H 1 spectral characteristics of the synthesized compounds have been analyzed and interpreted. Antimicrobial and antifungal activities of the obtained compounds have been explored. Priorities for further research of biologically active compounds have been outlined.


Although the problem of personal data leakage is reported to be serious, there has been no research that tries to excavate out that real cause of the leakage in scientific prospective. Although this topic is considered to be crucial, there have been no literatures relevant to the topic, and the reason for this limitation is that scientific approach to this problem was not feasible. In this respect, in this paper a model for such scientific analysis and a methodology of analysis have been devised. Results show that the degree of rigidity turns out be the determinant that vindicates the degree of leakage. The notion of data rigidity is revealed to be very strongly correlated to the number of hacking incidents in each country. The notion of resident data freedom was then deployed in this paper to determine the world-wide ranking for a slew of different countries. The United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea turned out to be the two extreme countries that lie in the spectrum of the scale, with UK the most flexible and ROK one of the most rigid.

Poor adherence to product use has been observed in recent trials of antiretroviral (ARV)‐based oral and vaginal gel HIV prevention products, resulting in an inability to determine product efficacy. The delivery of microbicides through vaginal rings is widely perceived as a way to achieve better adherence but vaginal rings do not eliminate the adherence challenges exhibited in clinical trials. Improved objective measures of adherence are needed as new ARV‐based vaginal ring products enter the clinical trial stage.

For those who wish to see how social scientists gathered and interpreted data on efforts to end racial segregation in the U.S. Army in what became a turning point for policy makers who sought a sound basis for reaching decisions, the work of Bogart and his colleagues during the Korean War is most enlightening. Although much is to be gained from a review of their research design and data-gathering techniques, perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the work is the open-ended comments of respondents in the direct, earthy language of the GI in combat. From a humanitarian point of view one can be encouraged by these personal accounts. Military experiences frequently make a lasting impression on those who share them and the testimony in this book makes one feel that the willingness to try can overcome long-standing racial prejudices. Without doubt the study succeeded in proving to the military that racial integration in the armed services gives great assistance in solving manpower problems once the policy is clearly established and understood.

This chapter provides an introduction to Part I and focuses on the challenges and concerns of tourist destination governance. These include addressing the diversity of questions regarding issues such as regional and destination development, community involvement, responsiveness and future outcomes of governance in the context of tourism. Before choosing among the various approaches to destination governance, it is helpful to have an understanding of the underlying issues faced by communities, as well as what influences their directions and solutions. It has discussed the difficulties of governance at the regional government level. It also notes that local and regional jurisdictions in particular have traditionally found themselves confronted by difficult choices; on the one hand, the need to implement public goals and, on the other, to respond to the lure of the developer's dollar. The chapter also includes a summary of the four chapters in this part of the book which address issues of community involvement, responsiveness, leadership and future outcomes.

These areas are classified,according to their zoning information,as industrial,traffic,cultural,commercial,scenic areas and residential,respectively.It is found that there exist the phthalic esters,which may directly affect the human health.These PAEs mainly contain dimethyl phthalate (DMP),dibutyl phthalate(DBP)and diethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP).It is also found that the concentration of those PAEs depends on the zoning area and changes with the season.It is followed by,in the decreasing order,industrial,residential,traffic,commercial,cultural and scenic areas.For all the areas,the concentration of PAEs in the fall and winter is found to be higher than in the spring and summer.


This paper investigates the relationship between world city formation – as measured through global connectivities produced by advanced producer service firms – and global air transport flows. Firstly, we examine the obstacles related to the construction of careful measurements of (i) a city's global airline connectivity, and (ii) its economic importance in the context of a globalized economy, and use this as a starting point to show how recent advances in conceptual and empirical research on global cities have been able to tackle some of these problems. This has allowed social scientists to construct extensive global measurements of the importance of cities in terms of air transport and corporate development. The second section of the paper compares these two sets of measurements through a simple statistical technique (standard least squares regression analysis). Through an examination of the regression residuals, this analysis allows the investigation of differences in importance between a city's global air linkages and its corporate development. We interpret the results in terms of cities being under-developed and/or over-visited or being over-developed and/or under-visited. The end-result is a systematic analysis of the multifaceted relation between air travel and world city development under conditions of contemporary globalization.

Nowadays, text summarization is one of the important areas to be focused on. As the World Wide Web is growing, a huge amount of text articles (especially blogs, scientific articles) are also generated on the internet. Automatic text summarization is one of the important techniques to shorten the original text in such a way that shorten or summarized text covers incisive and meaningful sentences of original huge text. Extractive summarization extracts important sentences from original documents and then aggregates all these sentences to generate the summary. We have proposed a novel LSTM based encoder-decoder, which plays a vital role in the extractive text summarization process. CNN news article dataset is utilized for training our model. Our model is evaluated on standard metrics like Gold Standard, Recall Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGHE)-1, and ROUGHE-2. After evaluation, our model achieved an average F1-Score of 0.8353. Our model also outperformed other models available in the literature.


Large scale data integration and comparison require standardised data collection. As part of the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) project, a core data set for IBD (including case-mix variables, biomarkers, clinical and patient-reported outcomes) that can uniformly be implemented across IBD centres was defined through an international, multi-stakeholder Delphi process. The next step was to identify the most appropriate instruments and minimum frequency to measure the patient-reported outcomes included in this core data set.

The literature review report included details on the development process, validation studies, extensiveness, required licenses and available translations of the identified instruments. The stakeholders were then asked to indicate in a survey which instrument(s) they considered most important to include in the core data set and at what minimum frequency they would collect these data. The collected insights were discussed at an online consensus meeting in Sept 2022 where a final selection of instruments and minimum frequency was agreed on.

 In total, 18 stakeholders from 10 different countries completed the survey (7 IBD specialists, 4 patient advocates, 3 pharma experts, 2 IBD nurses, 1 expert in patient-reported outcome measurements and 1 regulator). Also 18 stakeholders attended the consensus meeting (6 IBD specialists, 5 patient advocates, 3 academic researchers, 3 pharma experts and 1 IBD nurse from 11 different countries). The PRO-2 (both for UC and CD) and the IBD-Control were indicated as the most appropriate instruments to collect the IBD-specific outcomes, and the PROMIS Global Health and PROMIS Self-Efficacy short form to collect the generic patient-reported outcomes. At the consensus meeting it was additionally agreed to use the generic Health Monitor (disease acceptance and control) and to supplement the set with additional single items to measure bowel incontinence, bowel urgency, IBD medication adherence and the extent to which patients feel informed (Figure). It was agreed that the IBD-specific outcomes would be collected at every consultation with an IBD practitioner, and generic outcomes every 12 months.

 This study recommends an instrument set and minimum frequency to measure the patient-reported outcomes included H2O core data set for IBD, agreed on by a group of key stakeholders. This set will initially be implemented in five European university clinics and subsequently in additional IBD clinics, enabling data integration and comparisons on a larger scale.


Bus rapid transit (BRT) has sometimes been portrayed as a technology that is essentially equivalent to light rail transit (LRT), but which can be implemented at considerably less capital cost. That portrayal is not broadly accepted by transit professionals. This paper addresses this issue by first documenting the nature of each of the two alternatives, including the citation of examples, and proposing a formal definition for BRT to complement those of LRT. It defends BRT as a legitimate and discrete application of the bus mode. The discussion identifies technologies that are sometimes incorrectly characterized as BRT or LRT. It then discusses advantages and disadvantages of tangible and some intangible characteristics of each of the alternatives. The paper concludes by arguing that a comparison of the two in the abstract is not valid and that each should be evaluated in the context of the environment in which it would be constructed.

Objective To explore the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Test of Everyday Attention(TEA) in normal Chinese people.Methods 117 normal volunteers(18~65 years old) were screened with the Montreal Cognition Assessment(MoCA),and the normal volunteers were administered to TEA(versions A),Trail Making Test B(TMT-B),Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task(PASAT),Stroop Color-Word Interference Test(SCWT),Continuous Performance Test(CPT).20 normal volunteers were also given version B for test-ing of the test-retest reliability,time interval was 2 weeks between versions A and B.Results There was correlation between versions A and B in the major subtests(r0.700,P0.01) at a two-week interval.The varimax rotation principal-component analysis extracted 4 component factors,namely sustained attention,selective attention,switching attention,and divided attention.The factors included various subtests of TEA and the other laboratory attentional test.Conclusion TEA has good reliability and validity.


property: such as financial instruments including stocks and bonds etc. Intellectual property: such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc. 220.127.116.11. Fixed property (possessions) In medieval times the concept of property essentially referred to land. This is most probably still the most common use of the term today, although it would now encompass estate in land, real estate, and other fixed tangible property. In common law property is divided into real property that refers to interests in land and improvements made to the land, and personal property that refers to anything other than real property. Civil law would differentiate between movable and immovable property. Immovable property would correspond to fixed property as described above. (see Wikipedia: 2005 property law).


Radar scientists typically define the radar beamwidth as a half-power beamwidth (HPBW) in the main lobe of the antenna pattern. However, the microwave radiations outside radar HPBW might also backscatter into the radar receiver and change the distribution of the received signal. To determine an actual and effective beamwidth illuminated on the measured targets, we first generate the simulated-waveforms derived from coincident lidar points and radar equation and then develop a waveform matching method to seek out an optimal beamwidth based on the 95% threshold of correlation coefficients between radar waveforms and the simulated-waveforms. The 8565 measurements of a Ku-band profiling radar named Tomoradar and coincident lidar data in a widespread heterogeneous forest area of southern Finland are employed for resolving the effective beamwidth. The results reveal that about 97% of the effective beamwidth are larger than Tomoradar HPBW, but the effective beamwidth could be changeable for each measurement due to variations in the scattering properties of vegetation. Thus, a fixed average effective beamwidth (AEBW) with 0.1-degree resolution is introduced to determine Tomoradar cone according to the effective beamwidth and corresponding proportions. We discover that Tomoradar AEBW is approximately approaching to 8°, which is larger than Tomoradar HPBW of 6°. If we regard AEBW as the actual Tomoradar beamwidth rather than HPBW, the simulated-waveforms have substantially stronger correlation strength with Tomoradar waveforms, and canopy tops derived from lidar data within Tomoradar AEBW are much closer to those extracted from Tomoradar waveforms. The results demonstrate that radar AEBW is a more appropriate reference for designing radar antenna and selecting the region size of validation data such as lidar points or the ground truth. However, considering that radar AEBW is variable for different radar antenna pattern, we suggest that actual radar beamwidth should be defined with a fraction of total radiation energy within radar AEBW, just like the definition of laser divergence of lidar based on the percentage of transmitted laser energy. In this paper, for a forest inventory research case, the fraction of total radiation energy within the AEBW for radar system is supposed to be 91%.


Objective To explore the effectiveness and repeatability of tomographic ultrasound imaging(TUI)in displaying the pelvic floor structure and provide the basis for the examination of morphological change in levator ani muscle.Methods Sixty normal healthy nulliparous female volunteers were enrolled in this study.Tomographic ultrasound examination was performed and the three-dimensional volume data was collected.The dimensions of the levator hiatus and the thickness of levator ani muscle were measured in the plane of minimal hiatal dimensions.Three weeks later,the measurement was done for the second time.MRI were performed 2 weeks after two times of TUI examination,then the results were compared with TUI.Results Tomographic ultrasound image of a normal pelvic floor represent axial plane slices obtained at a 2.5-mm slice interval.The ICC values of muscle thickness in the plane of minimal hiatal dimensions,transverse diameter of the levator hiatus and anterior posterior diameter were 0.63,0.78 and 0.72,respectively.There was no statistics difference between the results of TUI and MRI.Conclusion The tomographic ultrasound imaging measurement of pubovisceral muscle and levator hiatus is reliable in women with no symptoms of prolapse at rest and during contraction.It may be useful in evaluating the anatomy of the levator ani muscle.


The Asilah medina profited during the two last decades from a series of cultural rehabilitation initiatives by AlMouhit Cultural Association. But today the medina offers a striking contrast between areas of thriving cultural and artistic activities, and a degraded historical built environment. Fortunately, a significant measure of protection and management is currently in the final stages of application: the Plan d'Aménagement et de Sauvegarde de la médina d'Asilah, 2009. The overall rehabilitation strategy for Asilah medina is to alleviate the constraints through an intervention program, especially the historic monuments and buildings, the urban environment, the housing stock, the social and economical development, which can not be launched without seeking adequate tools (institutional, financial and technical) for their implementation. The municipality places the stakeholder participation, including social participation in housing rehabilitation, the public and the private actors investments at the core of its implementation strategy. The city council sets a program of emergency intervention on deteriorating historical built environment (ramparts, walls, bastions and gates), housing units threatening collapse, infrastructure and urban facilities.


ABSTRACT The resource-related, environmental and ecological problems raised by building construction activities have drawn a wide range of concerns among researches, especially in China. Those problems have become prominent. In last decade, the building life cycle emissions and energy efficiency have been researched widely. Most of the studies focus on the assessment models and emission analysis based on the available project data and statistical data. Very few of them study the emissions from the view of structure design, which can reduce the building emission at source. This review summarizes and examines different models proposed for the building life cycle assessment, focusing on the model scopes, assumptions, and their applications from the view of structure design. A great attention is given to the data used in the current studies. Finally, a variety of future research directions of building life cycle assessment are discussed.


Storm water toxicity was monitored at numerous locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, using the EPA protocol for short-term chronic toxicity tests with freshwater organisms in the ``screening`` mode. Toxicity to Selenastrum capricomutum and Pimephales promelas was prevalent in samples collected at industrial catchments but was rarely detected in samples collected from other land use catchments. On the other hand, Ceriodaphnia dubia responded in most samples collected from industrial, commercial, residential, and transportation corridor catchments. In further analyses of C. dubia test results, the median time to lethality (LT{sub 50}) was derived to allow comparisons of the relative intensity of toxicity, and the number of offspring per female per reproductive day (OFRD) was calculated to allow separation of mortality from reproductive effects. This approach revealed that most of the moderately toxic (LT{sub 50} of 5--7 days) storm water samples collected from catchments of mixed land use (stream stations) did not inhibit reproduction, and that most storm water samples collected from transportation corridors did inhibit reproduction. Toxicity identification evaluations (TIE) indicated that diazinon is the major cause of toxicity in many stream samples, suggesting an explanation for the differential sensitivity observed in different species.


The removal of aqueous volatile fatty acids (VFA) by biotrickling filter system immobilized Rhodococcus sp. B261 was investigated. The optimal temperature and superficial velocity (SV) for the removal of n-valeric acid were 37 and 0.96 h, respectively. The removal rate of 0.5% n-valeric acid by the presence of 5% (w/v) glucose was inhibited by 60% at 13 h compared to that of n-valeric acid solution only. The n-type acids, acetic and propionic acid, were more effectivein this system than iso-type acids for 30 h. When the artificial medium without VFA was added into n-valeric acid solution, the removal rate of n-valeric acid by Rhodococcus sp. B261 was enhanced and maintained for 10 days under the semicontinuous system. The removal rate of n-valeric acid with medium supplementation was 15.4 g l day. The total amount of n-valeric acid removed by supplement and no supplement of nutrient was 77 and 65 g l, respectively for 10 days by the biotrickling filter.

Objective: to describe the sociodemographic data, the clinical and paraclinical manifestations, the treatment and the recurrence, in a group of patients diagnosed with papillary lesions. Methodology: analytical study of a retrospective cohort with secondary sources of information from users' medical records in the period of January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019. The demographic, clinical and paraclinical data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: the prevalence in the sample was 4.7%; all cases were women, the mean age was 55.5 years; the most frequent reason for consultation was abnormal breast imaging examination (n=79, 54.9 %), the mean size was 1.9 cm (range 0,1-20). Disagreement was found between the diagnosis by sharp biopsy and the pathology specimen in 48.6% of cases (n=70); lesion underestimation with higher risk was found in 36.1% of them (n=52). According to the histological classification, the most frequent was intraductal papilloma in 34.7% (n=50), followed by papillary carcinoma in 11.8% (n=17). The type of surgery most performed was quadrantectomy, 68.7% (n=99). The mean follow-up was 28.5 months and relapse was found in 4.9% (n=7). Conclusion: papillary lesions comprise a heterogeneous group, with a spectrum that includes both benign lesions and those with malignant potential. The lesions affect women in their fifties. They become apparent as a small, unilateral mass, without a predominance of laterality, and of slow growth. The optimal treatment in risk lesions and with atypia is surgery with negative margins. The risk of recurrence is clinically important.

In terms of the development and implementation of environmental policies, the media, in particular, provides the opportunity to convey ideas and thoughts by ensuring the participation of actors at each stage, as well as raising awareness of new generation communication tools. As a matter of fact, the political power and public officials, who are in the position of deciding on environmental policies, form their policies by taking into account the proposals and suggestions they get from traditional or new generation mass media. Social media, which has become widespread especially recently, provides an unhindered flow of information between the individual and society, and , those who hold political power and those who make political decisions. In a similar situation, with the increase of communication opportunities among other actors who are effective in the formation, development and implementation of environmental policies, it becomes faster and easier to realize policies in line with their own goals and objectives. into a tool that ensures the of the existing social structure and functioning, the developments in the field of science receive sufficient and has a and indirect effect on the determination of problems and the creation and implementation of necessary policies. In some studies, is the media is used as a tool terms maintaining the ideological structure and continuity of political power due to its effects on social regulation and public policies, which are accepted as one of its concrete outputs. On the other hand, media has been used as an effective tool to criticize the environmental pollution, excessive consumption of natural resources, and the disagreement, injustice and inequality between countries in this regard in terms of duties and responsibilities in recent years. In addition, studies claiming that the media and mass media help decision makers and the society to be more sensitive and conscious about environmental problems and lay the groundwork for not questioning the modern social structure legitimized by science and technology are not to be underestimated. person or community constrained by the ideas and thoughts adopted by the decision maker. The aim of this study is to examine the reasons why certain environmental problems are considered appropriate and taken into account in policy making in the political and social agenda, while others are not taken into account. This study also evaluates the problem of whether
