Toxic vapor abuse during pregnancy was found to be associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity. Toluene- induced renal tubular acidosis occurred in over half of these women and was clustered among long-duration abusers. The renal acidosis placed the mother at risk for hypokalemia, with associated cardiac dysrhythmias and rhabdomyolysis. Beta-mimetics and intravenous fluid for preterm labor therapy potentially exacerbated the electrolyte abnormalities. Among 21 newborns exposed to toluene in utero, preterm delivery, perinatal death, and growth retardation were significantly increased. Delivery during uncorrected maternal acidosis further compromised these infants. As children, growth retardation and developmental delay were common findings. Recognition of the unique obstetric and medical characteristics of the toluene-abusing woman is needed if complications are to be averted and perinatal outcomes improved.


The pressure vibrations in a draft tube are harmful for the stable operation for a Francis turbine at part load conditions. In this paper, air admission is proposed to depress those pressure vibrations. The unsteady flow in a Francis turbine, whose hydraulic performance has been tested experimentally, is simulated at a part load operation condition. The flow simulation is conducted using RANS methods coupling with SST k-ω turbulence model. The results indicate the pressure vibrations in the turbine are reasonably predicted by the present numerical method. Based on the calculations, the dominant pressure vibration component for a hydro turbine operated at part-load condition is caused by the vortex rope in draft tube, and its frequency is near 0.2 times of the runner rotation frequency. The frequencies of pressure vibration do not change by air admission, and the pressure vibration amplitude decreases with the air admission. Further, the depression effect for pressure vibration would be improved if air admission is from the crown holes instead of the spindle hole. The results also indicate that the turbine hydraulic efficiency changes periodically with the pressure vibration induced by vortex rope in turbine draft tube, would be degraded with air admission from the spindle hole, and improved with air admission from the crown holes. With the increase of air admission, the turbine hydraulic efficiency would improve. The present research will be helpful for the safe operation of Francis turbines.Copyright © 2014 by ASME


Thermal tuning for high-index-contrast silicon nitride second-order ring filter with low tuning power of 52 muW/GHz is analyzed. Efficient tuning of 4.5 GHz/K is demonstrated for these filters. Precise centre wavelength stability of approximately 100 MHz is obtained with temperature feedback controller. Their compact size, large free spectral range, low tuning power and low thermal crosstalk between the filters make these resonators attractive for photonic integration.


Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are UV-absorbing compounds produced by fungi, algae, lichens, and cyanobacteria when exposed to ultra-violet radiation (UVR). These compounds have a photoprotective and an antioxidant function and have been widely studied for possible use in sunscreens and anti-aging products. This study aims to identify MAAs-producing cyanobacteria with potential application in cosmetics.
 A method for the identification of MAAs was developed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography - diode array detection - quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-DAD-QTOFMS). Chromatographic separation was carried out using a Synergi 4μ Hydro-RP 80 A column (150 x 2,0 mm) at 30 °C with 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution + 2 mM ammonium formate and acetonitrile/water (8:2) + 0.1 % formic acid as a mobile phase.
 Out of the sixty-nine cyanobacteria studied, twenty-six strains (37%) synthesized MAAs. Nine different MAAs were identified in the UHPLC-DAD-HRMS. Imino-mycosporines were the major group detected (7 in 9 MAAs). In terms of abundance, the most representative genera for MAAs production were heterocyte-forming groups. Oscilatoria sp. CMMA 1600, from homocyte type, produced the greatest diversity of MAAs.
 The UHPLC-DAD-QTOFMS method is a powerful tool for identification and screening of MAAs in cyanobacteria strains as well as in other organisms such as dinoflagellates, macroalgae, and microalgae. The different cyanobacteria genera isolated from diverse Brazilian biomes and environments are prolific source of MAA.


Sir, Gursel et al. provide great and original contributions to understand non‐invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) response in a broad population of patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF).[1] In this study, there are two major findings relevant, such as prior home mechanical ventilation (HMV) and high levels of pressure support (PS) which are predictors of NIV failure in AHRF. We would add that these issues are highlight relevant and extend information to acute strategy in NIV failure prevention and treatment. However, there are some limitations of the study to improve the discussion that may achieve overall interpretation of results and should be taken into account.


Embedded of network makes linked the development of industrial clusters with local economic,social,political and cultural closely.The embedded can be divided:the social embedding,the system embedding,the knowledge embedding and the geographical embedding.The balance of embedded can be in favor of the development of industrial clusters.It's balance manifests in two aspests:the balance of relations between strong and weak and the balance of height density structure.


OF THE DISSERTATION Uncertainties in pixel-based source reconstruction for gravitationally lensed objects and applications to lensed galaxies By AMITPAL SINGH TAGORE Dissertation Director: Dr. Charles R. Keeton and Dr. Andrew J. Baker Gravitational lens modeling of spatially resolved sources is a challenging inverse problem that can involve many observational constraints and model parameters. I present a new software package, pixsrc, that works in conjunction with the lensmodel software and builds on established pixel-based source reconstruction (PBSR) algorithms for de-lensing a source and constraining lens model parameters. Using test data, I explore statistical and systematic uncertainties associated with gridding, source regularization, interpolation errors, noise, and telescope pointing. I compare two gridding schemes in the source plane: a fully adaptive grid and an adaptive Cartesian grid. I also consider regularization schemes that minimize derivatives of the source and introduce a scheme that minimizes deviations from an analytic source profile. Careful choice of gridding and regularization can reduce "discreteness noise" in the χ surface that is inherent in the pixel-based methodology. With a gridded source, errors due to interpolation need to be taken into account (especially for high S/N data). Different realizations of noise and telescope pointing lead to slightly different values for lens ii model parameters, and the scatter between different "observations" can be comparable to or larger than the model uncertainties themselves. The same effects create scatter in the lensing magnification at the level of a few percent for a peak S/N of 10. I then apply pixsrc to observations of lensed, high-redshift galaxies. SDSS J0901+1814, is an ultraluminous infrared galaxy at z = 2.26 that is also UV-bright, and it is lensed by a foreground group of galaxies at z = 0.35. I constrain the lens model using maps of CO(3– 2) rotational line emission and optical imaging and apply the lens model to observations of CO(1–0), Hα, and [NII] line emission as well. Using the de-lensed images, I calculate properties of the source, such as the gas mass fraction and dynamical mass. Finally, I examine a serendipitously discovered pair of gravitationally lensed objects with strikingly different colors. One appears red and compact, while the other appears blue and extended. I use pixsrc to constrain the lens model using observations of the red object and present a PBSR as a first step towards understanding its properties.


The physics programme and the detector apparatus of the TOTEM experiment is presented. Then, the key optics and their goals are summarised. The method to measure the total pp cross section is introduced. One of its essential parts, the extrapolation to t = 0, is discussed in detail and extrapolation strategies for β∗ = 1535 and 90 m optics are presented. In particular, an adequate parameterisation and a treatment of Coulomb scattering is proposed. In the last section, a Roman Pot alignment procedure is described.


This paper,using tourism shopping-related literatures published in "Annals of Tourism Research" and "Tourism Management",the most influential journals in international tourism academy,analyzes the origin,research perspectives,methodology,depth of overseas studies on tourism shopping and developing thread of thought.The paper holds the view that perspectives in overseas studies on tourism shopping have shifted from tourism shopping to tourism shoppers,and accordingly the methodology used has also gradually shifted from conceptual,descriptive and simple mathematical statistics to model constructing and complicated mathematical statistics,and the academic tradition of in-depth and specified research has been kept.In comparison,there still exists large gap in domestic studies on tourism shopping.Our study is yet to be detailed and specified.


Fuel cell (FC) technology has been a major focus of attention for most automobile manufacturers across the world, especially for their ability to address the pollution problems associated with internal combustion engine vehicles. Hybridization has shown its effectiveness in overcoming these problems. Highly efficient online energy management strategies are then required in real-world applications. This paper proposes an online energy management strategy (EMS), based on a fuzzy logic approach, which seeks to increase the lifespan of the energy sources while satisfying two major restrictions: the short response of the fuel cell and the limits of the state of charge of the supercapacitor (SoC). The fuzzy logic system has two inputs: the power required for the traction power of the vehicle and the SoC and an output which is the power to be requested from fuel cell. This proposed strategy offers some advantages, such as less pressure on fuel cell therefore higher lifetime for it.


This paper is concerned with linear multiuser receivers for code division multiple access (CDMA). Mainly three are of practical relevance: the matched filter (MF), the successive interference cancellation (SIC) and the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receiver. For the first time, an explicit representation of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) ratio for the linear SIC receiver under general random spreading is given. For the MMSE receiver the SINR is obtained by using the asymptotic large system regime as an accurate approximation. Once the SINR for each receiver type is known, the question arises what quality-of-service (QoS) requirements can be supported by an adequate power assignment. A vector of QoS requirements (gammai) is called feasible, if there exists some power assignment such that the SINR of each user i does not fall short of threshold gammai. It is shown that for each receiver type there exists a componentwise minimal power assignment such that the SINR of each user equals this threshold. This minimal vector may be determined for the MF and SIC receiver by solving a system of linear equations with coefficients explicitly known. For the MMSE receiver in the large system regime an iterative algorithm is derived, which converges to the optimum power allocation.

In this position statement, we discuss our research involving tangible user interfaces in both a science museum and in Kindergarten classrooms. This research aims to compare the use of tangible programming to more conventional programming systems as well as to create opportunities for children to engage in meaningful, age-appropriate computer programming and robotics activities in diverse educational settings, both formal and informal.


The three articles included in this special section are focused on the question of women's place in society, in the lineage of the original theme of Women in French conference in 2013, they come from: Solitary solidarity. Specifically, in terms of the studies presented are here, there is the question of structures that favor or not the integration of women in contemporary society: whether family, professional networks and associations, professional and creatives activities, or anchoring the feminine autonomy in mentalities and habits


Neuronal networks in our brain and body are fundamental for sensation, behavior, and all other functions based on neuronal activity. To construct precisely wired networks, the development of neurons is tightly controlled. During development, neurons must alter their shape so as to be able to migrate toward the destination from their origin and to make contact, called a synapse, with a defined target a certain distance away from them. Like the skeleton in our body, neurons have a cytoskeleton to maintain their shape. The cytoskeleton not only supports this shape, but also helps regulate the motility of neurons; and in this regard, the cytoskeleton is comparable to muscle. Therefore, orchestrating the reorganization of the cytoskeleton is of great importance in allowing extensive changes in neuronal morphology during development. In this review, we highlight the crucial roles of the cytoskeleton and associated proteins in each phase of neuronal development, including neurogenesis, neuronal migration, neurite genesis and growth, and synapse formation.


Introduction. The main problem of the article lies in the search for optimal and objective principles and methods for assessing vocational education teachers' soft-competencies, as well as valid diagnostic tools. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the vocational education teachers' soft-competencies and to identify correlations between them. Materials and Methods. The research methodology is based on the principles of a competency-based approach to education (D. C. McClelland, A.-K. Koenen, F Dochy, W. Lambrechts, etc.). To assess the teachers' soft-competencies, a set of diagnostic tools was developed and used during the pilot study from March 21 to July 17, 2022 (n=132), consisting of the following components: a motivational questionnaire; a business game (includes self-presentation, solution of a universal case, group discussion); a set of tests (for intelligence, an individual psychological questionnaire, etc.). The study applied a methodological approach to assessing the vocational education teachers' soft-competencies with the help of the Assessment Center, which involves complex diagnostics, including both standardized tests, self-reports, cases, and observation of real behavior. The analysis of the results obtained was carried out using the methods of statistical (descriptive statistics, measures of data scatter, normal distribution) and correlation analysis (nonparametric correlation coefficient r-Spearman) using the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 software. Results. The findings show that the most developed soft-competencies include the ability for self-organization and self-development, as well as the ability to communicate. The remaining competencies are at the basic level and are used only within the framework of solving familiar, standard problems. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the ability for systemic and critical thinking and the ability to communicate; between the readiness to become a leader in the educational community and the ability to communicate. Statistically significant negative correlation was found between the willingness to accept personal responsibility and the ability to communicate. Conclusions. Conclusions are drawn that there is a risk associated with the human resources potential of teachers in the vocational education system: soft-competencies are at the threshold level of development, and even with the potential for self-development formed, it will take time, additional development programs and systematic work to support vocational education teachers.


Cestrum nocturnum with white flowers has potential as a medicine, so it is possible that yellow, red and purple flowering plants also have bioactivity. Toxicity tests on plants can increase research on new sources of ingredients for food additives, drugs, pesticides, etc., so as to find the prospective economic value of these plants and maintain plant biodiversity. The aims of this research were to determine the differences in the toxicity of terpasan leaves (Cestrum elegans) of yellow, red and purple flowers. Steps of this research were made the simplicial of terpasan leaves, phytochemical screening, and toxicity test using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. The yield of ethanol extract terpasan leaves with yellow, red and purple was 16.58%, 22.06% and 22.14%, respectively. The results of phytochemicals screening of three types terpasan leaves using the third tube method attached contain secondary metabolites of alkaloids and terpenoids. Based on the toxicity test with the BSLT method using a variation of 150; 200; 250; 300 and 350 ppm mortality percentages were 0.77%, 5.71%, 8.64%, 22.38% and 42.3%. The C50 of the red-pressed ethanol extract was 458.00 ppm, the LC50 of the purple-pressed ethanol extract was 180.127 ppm, the LC50 of the yellow-pressed ethanol extract is 30 – 200 ppm. Conclusion:Based on the LC50 value, the ethanolic extract of the yellow and red leaves has activity as a pesticide, because it has an LC50 value of 200 -1000ppm. The ethanolic extract of purple terpasan leaves has antimicrobial activity because it has an LC50 value of 30-200 ppm


concerning relativistic angular momentum, wemade the claim, largely as an afterthought and with only a skimpy argument pre-sented, that there was a simplegeometric classical argument that led to the Diracvalue of the gyromagnetic ratio of a charged massive particle. There was no mentionof either quantum mechanics or the Dirac equation. The argument made then, wasbased on a kinematic analogy concerning certain algebraic properties of the angularmomentum tensor and the electric-magnetic dipole tensor, and has on several occa-sions been reasonably questioned. In the present note we return to the same issueand give the complete argument, including details of the dynamics that lead to therelevant algebraic properties.We make the following pair of claims: Consider first both the vacuumMaxwell field andthelinearized vacuum gravitationalfield on(ordinary real)Minkowskispace. It is possible to view (purely in a mathematical sense by the analytic continua-tion ofthe real fields into the complex) thatthe magnetic moment −→µ of a particle withcharge q, arises from the particle being displaced an imaginary distance (i−→Y

The role of capsule endoscopy (CE) in established celiac disease (CD) remains unclear. Our objective was to analyze the usefulness of CE in the suspicion of complicated CD.


This paper proposes link scheduling and power allocation algorithms for mmWave picocellular integrated access and backhaul networks. The proposed algorithm does not assume that interference is negligible and takes it into account in the solution. The algorithm supports any state of the art multi-user MIMO and hybrid beamforming schemes at the physical layer. The link scheduling and power allocation subproblems are solved using two separate simulated annealing (SA) algorithms which can also be individually combined with other pre-existing suboptimal algorithms for the other subproblem. Particularly, mixed-integer linear programming for fixed power link scheduling, which is optimal in a special interference-free case, is shown to perform much worse than the proposed algorithm. SA link scheduling with water-filling power allocation performs close to the optimal, while reducing power allocation complexity.


AIM: To investigate the effect of multiple tumor suppressor 1 on the proliferation of ovarian cancer cell line HO 8910. METHODS: By protracting the cell growth curve, we studied the distinctness of growth characteristics among the HO 8910 (no p 16 gene expressing), 8910 p 16 (transfected p 16 gene) and 8910 pcDNA3 (transfected the vector pcDNA3). In the meantime,we also compared the distinctness of DNA synthesis among the three kinds of cells. RESULTS: After transfected p 16 gene, the proliferation and DNA synthesis of 8910 p16 were markedly inhibited. There was no difference between the 8910 pcDNA3 and HO 8910. CONCLUSION: Multiple tumor suppressor 1 can inhibit the proliferation and DNA synthesis of human ovarian cancer line HO 8910.


Since 1997 the simulation team at Flensburger Shipyard has been developing simulation tools for the requirements of one-of-a-kind production processes. Compared to simulation applications in series production there is a strong need for a flexible modeling approach to cover all variants of assembly and logistics operations in site production. To meet these requirements Flensburger Shipyard developed the Simulation Toolkit Shipbuilding (STS) as the modeling backbone of all simulation activities. At Flensburger Shipyard simulation tools are applied in various ways. Facility layout planning is supported as well as continuous production planning and control. Especially the application in production planning results in a strong benefit in one-of-a-kind production. Planning reliability and productivity can be increased by the dynamic and detailed analysis of the upcoming production program. This paper shows the general modeling approach as well as applications for simulations aided production planning in part production and complex assembly including outfitting.


A chiplet is an integrated circuit that encompasses a well-defined subset of an overall system's functionality. In contrast to traditional monolithic system-on-chips (SoCs), chiplet-based architecture can reduce costs and increase reusability, representing a promising avenue for continuing Moore's Law. Despite the advantages of multi-chiplet architectures, floorplan design in a chiplet-based architecture has received limited attention. Conflicts between cost and performance necessitate a trade-off in chiplet floorplan design since additional latency introduced by advanced packaging can decrease performance. Consequently, balancing power, performance, cost, area, and reliability is of paramount importance. To address this challenge, we propose Floorplet, a framework comprising simulation tools for performance reporting and comprehensive models for cost and reliability optimization. Our framework employs the open-source Gem5 simulator to establish the relationship between performance and floorplan for the first time, guiding the floorplan optimization of multi-chiplet architecture. The experimental results show that our framework decreases inter-chiplet communication costs by 24.81%.


E-hailing cars have become an important innovation in transportation operations. The E-hailing originated in the US and has developed rapidly around the world. As a laggard, China has experienced remarkable progress in exploring development period, rapid expansion period and adjustment period. The main reason is that China has a large user base, a sufficient labor force, a good network innovation environment, and a relatively relaxed regulatory environment. The new policy formulated by the Chinese government has caused a relatively large constraint on the Ehailing industry. Whether the E-hailing platform can maintain neutrality business and whether it can safeguarding consumer rights while developing the economy is an important challenge.


In 2006, China published the first National Evaluation Standard for Green Building (ESGB), which soon became the most widely spread evaluation system in the country. With the fast growth of urbanization, ESGB 2006 version no longer meets the current needs and requires an update. Based on the implementation outcomes of ESGB 2006 and expert opinions, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-rural Development published a new version of ESGB in 2014 (ESGB 2014). This research reviews the previous cases of buildings accredited with ESGB 2006 and collects the facts and data to explain the implementation results and identifies its weakness of the ESGB 2006. A comparative analysis of the ESGB 2014 with ESGB 2006 is based on an in-depth overview of both ESGB 2014 and ESGB 2006. The comparison results shows the improvement of the current ESGB 2014 in details, i.e., evaluated object, stage partition, weighted value, structure, indicators, etc. A case study is followed by choosing one building project to evaluate and calculate the green building accreditation according to both ESGB 2014 and ESGB 2006, and demonstrate the differences and development of ESGB 2014.


The effects of imprisonment of resonance radiation in potassium vapor and of collisions between excited potassium atoms and N2, H2, HD, and D2 molecules, on the measured lifetimes of the 42P states, have been investigated by the method of delayed coincidences. The potassium atoms were excited with short pulses of resonance radiation, and the delays between the exciting and fluorescent pulses were measured with a time-to-amplitude converter. At pure potassium densities below 1010 atoms/cm3, the measured lifetimes approach the constant values 27.8 ± 0.8 and 27.6 ± 0.8 ns, corresponding to the natural lifetimes of the 42P1/2 and 42P3/2 states, respectively. At higher densities the effective lifetimes are in satisfactory agreement with the predictions of Holstein's theory. The decrease in the measured decay rates observed upon addition of the diatomic gases yielded cross sections for quenching collisions with N2, H2, HD, and D2 which equal 34.0 ± 2.0 A2, 9.4 ± 1.3 A2, 11.9 ± 1.5 A2, and 8.0 ± 2.0 A2, respecti...


SUMMARY Although it is well known that measures obtained from surveyed samples may not perfectly match the true values in the population, surveys are generally thought to reflect but not to change opinion or subsequent behaviour. The purpose of this paper is to review a new, growing stream of research that demonstrates that merely responding to a marketing research survey alters subsequent behaviour. The papers in this stream of research compare the behaviour of an experimental group where individuals respond to a marketing research survey to a control group where individuals do not complete a survey. The results show that measuring intentions or satisfaction in a marketing research survey, changes the behaviour of respondents in the experimental group. For positively viewed products, overall, respondents in the experimental group have higher purchase incidence, buy more quickly, and are more profitable customers than those in the control group. Further, the results in some cases persist over time. Although research to determine why this mere measurement effect occurs is ongoing, to date, results suggest that measurement increases the accessibility of attitudes toward the product, which in turn makes the resulting behaviour more consistent with those attitudes than when measurement does not occur.

Since the publication of the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) findings in 1996, governments internationally have been cognisant of the need for functional literacy skill training for large segments of the New Zealand working-age population (Culligan, Arnold, Noble, & Sligo, 2004; Ministry of Education, 2001; OECD, 2000). Individuals with low literacy levels generally report negative prior experiences of formal learning environments that are due to and have contributed to their current functional literacy capability (for example, see Neubauer & Dusewicz, 1988; Ross, 1987, 1988; Tilley et al., 2006). The present study aimed to systematically investigate and measure the dispositional coping styles and strategies associated with differing prose literacy capabilities. The purpose of this project was to provide an understanding of the coping-literacy relationship as a first step toward the development of coping strategy training interventions specifically targeted at improving the educational experience (current and future) of low literacy individuals. Secondary aims of the current study included exploring the relationship between persistence and coping style, adaptability, and prose literacy; determining whether and how coping styles, adaptability, and prose literacy changed over time; and, assessing the relationship between prose literacy, coping style, adaptability, and post-course goal achievement. Fifty-six students in adult vocational programmes were interviewed preand post-course. At each time point assessments of dispositional coping style and strategies via use of the COPE tool (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989) were gathered, as were measures of emotional intelligence (including adaptability), and prose literacy score. Participants also took part in a semi-structured qualitative interview which gathered information on their educational and 1 'Culligan' is the maiden name of the thesis author.


: The use of interactive didactic methods in studying Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) contributes to an im provement in the quality of the educational process, especially the formative act of the student. The transfer of these methods to Information and Communication Technologies through Learning Management Systems provides new opportunities for creating and developing the OOP concept. Practicing them in a creative way makes the teaching process valuable and more attractive (especially for students).


Chapter 11 considers the claim that the best perfumes should be classified as part of the fine arts. The chapter argues that from the perspective of contemporary aesthetic definitions of fine art, perfumes have all it takes to be fine art since they have complex structures that develop over time that can be used to represent ideas and express emotions. Yet the second half of the chapter argues that from the perspective of contemporary contextual and historical definitions of art, perfumes are more like design art than fine art. The contextual case against fine art status is based on a model of art and design practices that involves roles, intentions, media, norms, and institutions. If we compare the creation of a commercial perfume designed by a perfumer with a "perfume" commissioned by an artist for an installation, commercial perfume looks like a design art. Chapter 11 ends in an impasse.


Any parameters have a relevant uncertainty in a real industrial process. Quality of measurements and quality of production are connected. If the quality of measurements does not satisfy requirements of technological process quality of the production is low.


This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the twin-fuselage transport airplane model at the cruising configuration in the T-102 TsAGI low-speed wind tunnel. The researched twin-fuselage transport airplane is a tri-engine transport aircraft intended for transportation of cargo weighted up to 40 tons at a distance up to 3000 km with speed 700-740 km/h. The aerodynamic configuration has the two fuselages distributed under high-wing, and a "TT" – shaped tail. The research purpose was the determination of the aerodynamic characteristics of the twin-fuselage transport airplane model without engine nacelles and assessment of the twin-fuselage layout impact on control surfaces efficiency. The effect of installing an external cryogenic fuel tank under the wing between the fuselages of the model was considered too.


Abstract : The preparation, characterization and evaluation of the thermal and solubility properties of four new ordered imide-quinoxaline copolymers are described. These copolymers were prepared via a condensation reaction between various ortho tetraamines and N,N'-bis(4-benzilyl)-tetrahydrofuran tetracarboxylimide. Their thermal (PDT's 290-350C) and oxidative stabilities were governed by the tetrahydrofuran group in the polymer backbone. Polymer solubility was demonstrated in a variety of solvents and strong films and fibers were obtained from m-cresol solutions. (Author)


As ill-posed optimization process, history matching renders multiple realizations of reservoir models that satisfy a given objective function with applicable constraints. A variety of assisted history matching (AHM) techniques is being developed with the main objective to generate statistically diverse ensembles of history matched models to capture the uncertainty in the distribution of reservoir parameters. This paper targets the outstanding questions on how to a) rigorously quantify the uncertainty in the distribution of the most prominent reservoir parameters that govern the reservoir connectivity and b) rank the history matched models and identifies the model candidates for production forecasting without compromising the notion of uncertainty. A method has been developed that integrates the modules for AHM and Dynamic Model Ranking (DMR) based on forecasted oil recovery factors. Pattern recognition based on kernel -means clustering is used to identify key reservoir models. The reduced set of models minimizes the computational load for forecast-based analysis, while retaining the knowledge of the uncertainty in the recovery factor. The comprehensive probabilistic AHM and DMR workflow was implemented at North Kuwait Integrated Digital Oilfield (KwIDF) collaboration center and delivers an optimized reservoir model for waterflood management.


This paper presents a dynamic analysis of a piezoelectrically driven vibro-impact drilling device with low down force and power consumption. The drilling device consists of an ultrasonic transducer with a piezoelectric stack, a free flying mass and a drill stem. Excited by the high-frequency vibration of the transducer the free mass oscillates between the horn tip of the transducer and the drill stem. The shock waves in the drill stem caused by the impacts with the free mass affect hard and brittle materials so effectively that small holes can be performed. Based on the sound wave/drilling working characteristics, this system is abstracted to a spring-mass-damping system. Piezoelectrically driven ultrasonic and acoustic energy coupled dynamic behavior is analyzed. The finite element model of the system was established. Through the modal analysis and harmonic response analysis of the system, the design of the system can be carried out. Experiments show that the proposed device can be used to drill a 3 mm diameter and 1.5 mm deep holes for more than 20 seconds. But it is not effective for granite and marble, which have a high rigidity and meticulous texture.


Introduction: This paper correlates the vastly detailed concepts of Janpadod dhwans and Rajyakshma from Charak Samhita to the novel coronavirus. The aim of this paper is to draw the attention of the experts toward the similarities between coronavirus and Rajyakshma, in hopes of finding some more effective measures of prevention as well as cure for the ongoing pandemic. Materials and Methods: In this paper, a little description was given about Adharm and immunity. The concept of pandemic/epidemic is explained with the term "Janpadod dhwans." A detailed comprehensive exploration of corona versus Rajyakshma was done by thoroughly analyzing certain concepts in the ancient script Charak Samhita and by conducting meticulous research online. Results: It was deduced that every disease changes its mode of onset and course of progression with changing climatic conditions and timeline peculiarities. The diseases are not identical, but the author hopes that the similarities drawn can be of use to better understand the whole spectra of diseases that have come and those that have yet to come. Conclusion: A clear conclusion can be drawn that there are many similarities between COVID-19 and Rajyakshma in clinical presentation, as well as the preventive measures known so far. The role of good immunity is the key factor in both the cases.


Plotinus is a notoriously difficult philosopher whose eclectic and elliptical style generates numerous problems for the interpreter. Intent upon establishing the consistency and uniqueness of Plotinus' views about sense perception, the young Icelandic scholar Ey6lfur Emilsson boldly sets sail on this rough sea. 1 Directing our attention to specific texts where perception is discussed, he considers these passages in detail and examines them within the context provided by earlier Greek philosophy. This approach forces the reader to reflect on Plotinus' contributions to the philosophy of perception and to see that philosophy in a new light. Emilsson argues that Plotinus is a direct realist whose theory, nevertheless, embraces a distinction between sensory affections and perceptions. After introducing several central doctrines of Plotinus' metaphysics and psychology in the first two chapters, Emilsson turns to the topic of sensory affection in the third and fourth chapters. Examining Enneads IV.5.1-4,8, Emilsson, contrary to other interpreters, argues that Plotinus discusses a medium in vision, light, only to reject it as the vehicle for visual transmission. The organ is affected not by the medium but through sympatheia between the object and the eye due to the "nonphysical omnipresence of form" in the medium (p. 57). In the fourth chapter, Emilsson develops the notion of sensory affection as an assimilation of the organ to the object and he argues that this assimilation is not merely a physical change in the organ. In vision, the organ is assimilated to the form (color) which possesses extensionality and spatiality but not mass and so is intermediate between the sensible and the intelligible. The next three chapters deal with perception. Here Emilsson broaches a number of important topics including the unity of perception, the relation between perception and the faculty of representation, perception as a form


There are urgent needs to develop methods for early detection of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) because of its increasing incidence and poor prognosis. Here, we analyzed the production of IgG antibody (WT1 Ab) against WT1 (Wilms' tumor gene) protein that was overexpressed in the majority of NSCLC. Enzyme‐linked immuno‐sorbent assay showed that WT1 Ab was produced in all of 91 NSCLC patients and 70 healthy individuals and that WT1 Ab titers were significantly higher in NSCLC patients compared with healthy individuals. When the cut‐off level of WT1 Ab titers were fixed at mean + 3SD of those in healthy individuals, 26.4% of NSCLC patients had WT1 Ab titers over the cut‐off level, and positive rates of WT1 Ab at each clinical stage were 25.0, 30.8 and 38.4% in stage I, II and III NSCLC, respectively. When WT1 Ab was combined with CEA or CYFRA for detection of NSCLC, positive detection rates increased from 25.0 to 34.1 and 31.8%, respectively, in stage I and from 38.4 to 69.2 and 46.1%, respectively, in stage III, but not changed in stage II. Western blot analysis showed that dominant subclass of WT1 Ab was Th1‐type IgG2. Interestingly, elevation of WT1 Ab titers was significantly associated with longer disease‐free survival in patients with stages I–III NSCLC. These results showed that WT1 Ab could be a useful marker for early detection of NSCLC and its prognostic prediction. These results also suggested that WT1‐specific immune responses played an important role in anti‐cancer immunity in NSCLC. © 2009 UICC


Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely deployed to support transmissions of the huge data emitted by heterogeneous connected devices. The quality of service (QoS) and energy requirements in WSNs are dramatically increasing and becoming challenging issues. Integrating network coding, in the data transmission process, leads to reduced energy consumption and improved QoS. In this work, we study the problem of energy efficiency in multi‐hop WSNs, namely wireless unsplittable multi‐commodity flow with network coding (wUMCFC). We propose mixed‐integer programming formulations of the wUMCFC problem, and we implement an open source solver wUMCFC based on the branch‐and‐price algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first study of the wUMCFC problem by mathematical programming tools. We perform a computational study on realistic instances with an analysis of the performance of the proposed algorithm. The computational results show the efficiency of the network coding and provide important information for strategic decisions on routing policies and network management https://github.com/lidingxu/wUMCFC.


High-throughput manipulation of microparticles can be efficiently accomplished using electrokinetic effects. In this contribution, we demonstrate the two-dimensional investigation of internal space-charge fields inside a bismuth silicon oxide (BSO) crystal and their use for optically mediated particle trapping. The magnitude of the internal fields as well as the time constant for its build-up are measured by Zernike phase contrast and digital holography. The fast response time of a BSO crystal at very low light powers enables real-time generation of high electric field gradients. We demonstrate that this photoconductive material facilitates both electrophoretic and dielectrophoretic trapping of particles on an accessible surface.


Axon loss is a cardinal neuropathological feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). Axonal injury in MS and experimental disease models is most frequently detected in acutely demyelinating regions. Furthermore, acute axonal injury consistently correlates with the extent of inflammatory demyelination. Following lysolecithin-induced demyelination, we recently reported a compensatory response in neurons, where mitochondria move from the cell body to the acutely demyelinated axon and increase the mitochondrial content. We termed this energetics phenomenon, that is also evident in MS, the axonal response of mitochondria to demyelination (ARMD). In the present study, we assessed axonal mitochondrial content as well as axonal mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV activity (COX) of axons and related these to axonal injury in nine different experimental disease models. We consistently found ARMD in all experimental disease models. However, the increase in mitochondrial content within demyelinated axons was not always accompanied by a proportionate increase in COX activity, particularly in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Axonal COX activity inversely correlated with the extent of axonal injury in experimental disease models. Our findings indicate that ARMD is a consistent and prominent finding and emphasises the need to preserve axonal mitochondrial COX activity in inflammatory demyelination, paving the way for the development of novel neuroprotective therapies.


The hepatoprotective activity of the ethanolic extract of Bauhinia variegata (Linn.) whole stem (BV) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatic failure was investigated by in vitro and in vivo methods. The in vitro method resulted in a significant (p<0.001) increase in enzyme levels (AST, 36.21 ± 2.78 IU/l; ALT, 23.14 ± 1.91 IU/l and ALP, 37.3 ± 2.35 IU/l) following CCl4 treatment of liver explant cultures (toxic control) as compared to the normal control (AST, 11.55 ± 2.27 IU/l; ALT, 2.32 ± 1.17 IU/l and ALP, 12.1 ± 1.5 IU/l). BV extract at a dose of 3.3 mg/ml significantly lowered the levels of the enzymes, AST (20.99 ± 2.12 IU/l; p<0.01) and ALP (21.79 ± 1.82 IU/l; p<0.001). Acute hepatotoxicity (in vivo) was induced by intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection of CCl4 (CCl4 + olive oil in a 1 : 1 ratio; 2 ml/kg). Administration of BV extract at a dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg of body weight to CCl4-treated rats for 7 days attenuated the marker enzyme level of liver, in a dose-dependant manner. BV extract at 400 mg/kg decreased the level of marker enzymes (AST, 272.77 ± 24.08 IU/l; ALT, 189.15 ± 7.16 IU/l and ALP, 97.15 ± 6.54 IU/l) significantly (p<0.001) with a significant (p<0.001) increase in body weight (6.16 ± 1.01 g) as compared to the toxic control group. The ethanolic extract of BV (400 mg/kg) exhibited significant and comparable hepatoprotective potential as that of the standard polyherbal drug Liv-52. The statistically significant results obtained in this study thus suggests a protective function of B. variegata whole stem against CCl4-induced hepatopathy both in vitro and in vivo. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Optical lattice plays an important role on stability and dynamics of quantum droplets. In this letter, we investigate the Bogoliubov excitation spectrum of quantum droplets in optical lattice in the thermodynamic limit. We classify the collective excitations as synchronous modes, Bloch phononic modes, and site-density imbalanced modes. For synchronous modes, we measure the dipole oscillation frequencies by quench dynamics with a sudden shift of the optical lattice, and the breathing frequencies by Floquet dynamics with a periodic change of the lattice depth. Bloch phononic modes are observable from the Landau critical velocity of the droplets. We further discuss the instability induced by the site-dependent density fluctuations, and calculate the critical filling of atoms where the growth of lattice vacancy breaks down the translational symmetry of the system. This work makes essential steps towards measuring the excitation spectrum and understanding the superfluid nature of quantum droplets in optical lattice.


The electricity system is currently facing great changes due to a number of challenges, including the need to mitigate climate change and replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. This calls for new solutions at all levels of the electricity system. Households are assigned a key role in these changes by system developers, researchers and policy makers, e.g. by realising electricity savings or providing a more "flexible" electricity consumption (also called "load management") in order to optimise the electricity system and balance consum ption with fluctuating electricity generation from e.g. wind power. Thus, development of the so-called "smart grid" is an example of how the changes of a large technological system are affecting all elements of the system. On the basis of a comparative study of Norway, Spain and Denmark, this paper analyses differences and similarities between these countries in relation to the current electricity system, energy policy plans, smart grid research and demonstration activities. The aim of this is to explore how countryspecific factors influence the conceptualisation of households' role in the future smart grid. The analysis focuses on how, for example, differences in national plans for future changes on the electricity production side (like integrating more wind power, hydropower etc.) influence smart grid strategies and understandings of the households' role in the future electricity system. Furthermore, the paper discusses the main challenges and limitations of the present approach to the integration of households in a future smart grid; particularly the importance of understanding the interaction between smart grid technologies and everyday practices. This part draws on practice theory.


In this paper we present the findings of a study which collected data on a range of HRM practices normally used in 58 Egyptian organizations operating in Egypt. The range of practices is concerned with job descriptions, recruitment and selection, training and development, compensation, performance appraisal and employment security. We examine and discuss these practices in the Egyptian context. The dimensions of the Egyptian environment which we examine include: the socio-cultural context, Islam, the vocational education and training system and elements of the economic and legal environment. The practices and approaches being used by the sample organizations appear to be the product of both culture bound and culture free influences. The main contributions of the study are that it provides much needed information on the HRM practices and approaches being adopted by Egyptian-owned organizations in the early part of the 21st century and provides support for the influence of national context on the HRM practices pursued by indigenous organizations.

The SAMPLE program has been modified to incluc, contrast enhand lithography. The contrast enhancement material (CEM) and the underlying photoresist are bleached simultaneously to include coupled exposure effects. The CEM is modeled using Dill's model for positive photoresist and a bleachable index of refraction. An energy increment selection routine has been implemented to allow proper convergence for contrast enhanced lithography. An analytical solution to Dill's equations by Babu and Barouch is included for increased speed and reduced storage. The modified program is used to compare several different lithographic techniques to CEM. Simulation shows that the resolution capability and exposure latitude of CEM is superior to single layer photoresists. The CEId and bilayer resist (PCM) processes are equivalent in resolution, linewidth control, and proximity effects both experimentally and in simulation on silicon substrates. Experhentally, however, CEM suffers fiom a much larger proximity effect than PCM on aluminum substrates which is not seen in simulations. Several factors which are not included in the simulation such as lated scattering fiom the substrate and flare may be responsible.


1Ve state and prove some correlations inequalities for spin models with non necessarily fmomagnetic Hamiltonians. We develop an iteration process, which exhibits the exponential eecay rate of the two point function and characterizes the disordered phase of those models. TVe use these ideas t o obtain rigorous upper bounds on the critical temperature for the two and three dimensional spin 112 Ising model. We also state and prove sufficient conditions for exponential decay of the spin-spin correlation function of the three dimensional spin 1 EIEG model.


ABSTRACT As an important waveform feature, the number of peaks indicates the complexity of the surface coverage within the laser footprint. At present, the common methods of determining the number of peaks are based on waveform decomposition because the full waveform can be regarded as the superposition of multiple Gaussian waves. However, the empirical thresholds can affect the performance of the algorithms, and the process is time-consuming and inefficient. This study attempts to develop an automatic peak-number-driven classifier and picker based on machine learning (ML) and convolutional neural network (CNN) models. Waveforms were divided into four categories according to the peak-number. The results of five classifiers show good agreement with the verification data from GLAH14, with overall accuracies of 90.65%, 92.69%, 92.45%, 91.95%, and 93.05%. Moreover, F 1 score was calculated to evaluate the classification performance of each classifier for different categories. The results indicate that each classifier accurately distinguishes waveforms with different numbers of crests, especially invalid and single-peak waveforms. The ability to quickly and automatically extract the number of peaks based on ML methods will be of great benefit for specific research to screen suitable experimental data


Innovation in thinking is a value judgment of practice and cognition and also a complicated psychological system which finds expression in practice.It is not only related to creative thinking but also has its own features.In the ideological and political work of Chinese colleges and universities,the psychological mechanism of bringing forth new ideas consists of several related elements,that is,the emancipation of the mind,seeking truth from facts and keeping pace with the times as the soul,consciousness of innovation as the motive,creative and critical thinking as the key,and effective work-system as the carrier.The paper points out that the ideological and political work in Chinese colleges and universities should rely on the establishment of psychological mechanism with its dynamic,associative and comprehensive features.


From October 1982 to March 1996, a total of 86 patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma of bladder, stage T1, were treated with transurethral resection and adjuvant in-travesical chemotherapy in our hospital. Carcinoma in situ is documented as high risk of recur-rence and progression of disease and was therefore excluded from this study. The mean age was 63.9 years (range 38-84). The mean follow-up period was 60.2 months (range 13-163). Biman-ual exams under general anesthesia were routinely performed. Fractionate resections of various depths were sent. Grading metod was judged by UICC-3 classification system. Adjuvant in-travesical chemotherapy was performed in high risk groups. 86 patients were divided into four groups according to grade and whether they would undergo intravesical instillation (IVI) che-motherapy or not: Group I T1G2 without IVI(22), group II T1G2 with IVI(16), group III T1G3 without IVI(18), and group IV T1G3 with IVI(30). The average recurrence rates were 72.7%, 75%, 83.3% and 83.3% in group I,II,III and IV respectively. The overall recurrence rate of T1 category disease was 80.2%. he overall progresson rate was 22.1%. The progression rate of T1G2 disease versus that of T1G3 disease was 2.8% versus 37.5% (p<0.001). Intravesical che-motherapy did ot alter the progression of the disease (group III vs. group IV: 38.9%vs. 36.7% p=0.878). T1G2 and T1G3 diseases represent two different disease entities. Traditional treat-ment and close follow-up are sufficient for T1G2 disease, but more effective intravesical immu-notherapy and precise prognostic parameters are recommended for T1G3 disease.

In this paper, we examine the changes of the firm's financial and operational performances after horizontal M&A, and further analyze the role of the operational performance, from the perspective of supply chain integration. Through the collection of 523 M&A samples from 2005 to 2013, we match the firms' performances of one year before, one year after and two years after the completion of the merger. After excluding the influence of the industry, we conduct Wilcoxon signed-rank test to analyze the changes, and the results indicate that the financial and operational performances after the horizontal M&A are significantly lower than those of the previous year. What's more, by matching the corresponding samples of non-M&A, multiple regression analyses show that the horizontal M&A and the operational performance have a significant interaction role in the influence of the firm's financial performance. Specifically, the operational performance seems to assume the role of "amplifier" to enhance the horizontal M&A's relationship with the firm's financial performance.


Multiple core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with wafer of two different materials silica and lead silicate has been simulated. PCF with silica as wafer reports very high birefringence and ultra low loss. However other structure investigated also reports higher birefringence. Both structure have found to allow single mode propagation. Thus both structures are found to applicable for optical sensors, optical devices and communication system.


This paper revisits previous work on the irrigated agricultural landscape of the Marakwet of Kenya and presents this alongside the results of new interdisciplinary archaeological and anthropological analyses that address the temporal dynamism of Marakwet farming technologies in relation to both endogenous and exogamous developments. In particular, it presents a major new re-mapping of the Marakwet irrigation system and higher-resolution analysis of irrigation practices at the village level. The paper argues that irrigation and farming shift across the landscape through time in relation to ecological and social parameters (and their associated timescales) and suggests that rural African farming systems are more complex than how they are represented in current literature. It shows how the Marakwet system has dynamically incorporated small-scale technical changes and increased in scale over the last 30 years while resisting wholesale technical and managerial change and spatial reorganisation. It further argues that historically contextualised interdisciplinary analyses, combined with extensive community collaboration, are essential not only for obtaining more complete understandings of specific farming systems past and present, but also for learning more broadly about the intersection (and regular mismatch) between local contextual knowledge and the approaches of external developers.


By Jennifer Elizabeth Baney University of the Pacific 2019 This project investigates the loss of power on screen for female comic book characters. Specifically, I investigate how scenes create narratives using heteronormativity and oversexualization of female characters. The artifact of analysis included in this project is Batman and Robin (1997). This text focuses on Poison Ivy, including the background of the character before dissecting her role in the film. Turning to Sonja J. Foss (2009) and her feminist critique as a guide to understanding the implications of this research. Using feminist criticism, I argue that Poison Ivy was put in a lesser position, removed of her power, and was made dependent on men more than she is in comics. Poison Ivy was created from the feminist movement, and Batman and Robin (1997) create tension between the comic book representation and the expectation of gender. Superheroes have skyrocketed in popularity over the past fifteen years, and their narratives are extending to individuals that are not necessarily comic readers. This cultural significance of superheroes suggests that comic books and therefore their characters appeal to a wide audience who has the potential to be influenced, even implicitly, by these messages.

By adopting the blending theory,this article attempts to reveal how the primitive metaphors are integrated to make a blended or complex conceptual metaphor through the analysis of an ancient Chinese poem "Jinse".The mental image(or mental images),which is(are) represented by primitive metaphor(s) in the cultural context,is(are) embodied in a concrete image in the cultural context.Due to the interactive influence of the concrete images on the mental images in a poem,composition is naturally followed.Completion and elaboration are carried out in the process of composing all the primitive metaphors before a blended conceptual metaphor(or poetic conception) is created in the emergent structure through projection.The differences in encyclopedic knowledge lead to the default of one or more images in the inputs,which,in turn,will cause the differences in composition,completion and elaboration in the course of cross-spatial mapping and projection.Consequently,different emergent structures are being created,hence the construction of different blended conceptual metaphors,or poetic conceptions.

abstract:

Central Appalachia has a continued history of environmental, economic, and political dispossession, leading to uneven development, pollution, and specific issues around food access. A movement addressing the environmental degradation of non-renewable resources, labor issues, economic regeneration, and community health is that of the Appalachian Transition. This Transition also follows the discourse of the larger "Just Transition" movement, calling for grassroots changes towards equitable distribution of resources and power. In this paper, we use two case studies of Central Appalachian food initiatives that encompass both community-based gardening and produce prescription programs. We consider whether these local food initiatives actually realize the promise of economic, environmental, and social justice, alongside questions of the framing and alignment of the "Just" Appalachian Transition itself. This paper ends with recommendations for an evaluative approach for food systems-driven transition activities, alongside considerations around funder implications that can hinder or support organizations in realizing a "just" transition through their work.

It will be proved through constant practice to help improve the professional level of the garment pattern CAD software, create new ways of professional popularization and application which are suitable for China's national conditions.


Two paper jams later, you are finally done photocopying. With impeccable timing, Van Rjien magically appears behind you and signals for you to follow him to the far end of the filing room. You are astonished to find yourself in yet another surreal-looking space, with walls so completely covered by blueprints that you are unable to discern their original colour—this must be where they store the blueprints for all the major pipelines in Melbourne. Taking no notice of your current train of thought, Van Rjien starts explaining that recently, Melbourne's water supply has been diminishing at an impossibly high rate, which is why he was flown in from Holland to try to locate the disappearing water. Like all contractors, his first instinct was to find a suitable sub-contractor, which is where you came in. Lowering his voice, he whispers to you that you'll start tomorrow, and that you are to meet him on the steps of Flinders Street Station at seven in the morning.


Free education for students in teacher education program has a long history in China.Under the circumstances of implementation of the scientific concept of development and building a harmonious socialist society,the newly proposed policy of free education is especially important to students in teacher education program.To enhance the effect of free education,the following views are presented in this article:A normal university or college should have alternative ways for students:free or non-free.In future,free education policy should be emphasized in non-key normal universities and colleges.Measures should be improved when the newly free education policy are carried out.


Shishes are fibrillar crystallites that can be created by deforming a polymer melt. The formation of shishes takes place when flow is strong enough to stretch molecules. In the early stages, bundles of stretched molecules with pre-crystalline order form metastable precursors whose stability depends on their size and, hence, on the stress level. We find that for a specific isotactic polypropylene, close to the nominal melting point, a stress larger than 0.10 MPa leads to stable fibrillar precursors that are partially crystalline immediately after flow. On the other hand, below 0.10 MPa, the aspect ratio of precursors tends to unity and the lack of crystallinity makes these structures prone to dissolution.


Knowlegde about stereotypical activities like visiting a restaurant or checking in at the airport is an important component to model text-understanding. We report on a case study of automatically relating texts to scripts representing such stereotypical knowledge. We focus on the subtask of mapping noun phrases in a text to participants in the script. We analyse the effect of various similarity measures and show that substantial positive results can be achieved on this complex task, indicating that the general problem is principally solvable.


We present a model that characterizes the relationship between optimal dynamic cash management and the choice of the means of payment. The novel feature of the model is the sequential nature of the payments choice: in each instant the agent can choose to pay with either cash or credit. This framework predicts that the current level of the stock of cash determines whether the agent uses cash or credit. Cash is used whenever the agent has enough of it, credit is used when cash holdings are low, a pattern recently documented by households data from several countries. The average level of cash and the average share of expenditures paid in cash depend on the opportunity cost of cash relative to the cost of credit. The model produces a rich set of over-identifying restrictions for consumers' cash-management and payment choices which can be tested using recent households survey and diary data.


In the third year, Laura took a leave through November to help settle her newly adopted child. Her students missed her and, when she returned, some seemed to have reverted to their original untrusting selves. Soon, their trust in Laura and in themselves was restored. Would that trust remain? Seven years later, I interviewed 9 of the 14 students still in the school district. All remembered Laura and the class fondly. Eight had detailed memories of their interactions with Laura, and the life skills and attitudes they learned in her class. Of the six students who were judged insecurely attached when they entered Laura's class, four appeared successful and confident and two were currently failing most of their courses. Possible causes for the long-term success of some students and failure of others are discussed.


Propolis is a natural product bees prepare by enzymatically changing secretions they gathered from the buds and barks of plants. Nowadays, propolis has syrup, spray, throat lozenge, cream and lotion preparations which are formulated to prevent and treat upper respiratory tract infections like cold and flu, for use in cosmetic purposes and in dermatological problems such as wounds and burns, also infections like acne, Herpes Simplex 1 and 2. In addition, there are toothpaste and mouthwash preparations used in the caries prevention and treatment of oral infections such as gingivitis and stomatitis [1]. Investigations have shown that propolis has antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antiparasitic, antiinflammatory, anti-ulcer antitumor and antioxidant effects and protective effects on liver, heart and brain [2].


Introduction: Adolescence is a vulnerable period in which different physical, psychological and behavioral changes occur contributing to mental health issues. Depression and anxiety occur more commonly than would be expected by chance in children and adolescents. Undetected and untreated mental disorders can impair one's ability to perform at school or work place, cope with daily life activities and can lead to severe mental disorders and related consequences. The aim of this study was to assess the levels of anxiety and depression and their predictors among the adolescents of Kathmandu, Nepal.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in different higher secondary schools of Kathmandu. Cluster random sampling method was used to select 482 students of Grade XI and XII. Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II were used to assess the levels of anxiety and depression.
Results: Among 482 students, 230 (47.7%) were females and 252 (52.3%) were males with mean age of 17.25 (± 1.01) years. Majority (38.6%) had minimal anxiety and 11.6% had severe anxiety. On the other side, 45.9% had no depression and 16.4% had severe depression. Grade, sex, health problem, use of gadget and academic performance are found to be the predictors of anxiety, while, the predictors of depression are age, sex, health problem and academic performance.
Conclusions: Anxiety and depression are found prevalent among the adolescents, which need to be explored and addressed immediately through appropriate measures. Psychological counseling and support services should be available to vulnerable students.


The reduviid predator, Coranus spiniscutis was reared in the laboratory on rice moth Corcyra cephalonica larvae for studying its biology and mating behaviour. Female laid eggs in single and the incubation period was 4.66 ± 0.77 days. The stadial period was maximum for fifth and minimum for third instars. The sex ratio was 1:0.8 for male and female. The preoviposition and, oviposition periods were 6.20 ± 0.93, 60.32 ± 2.52 days, respectively. The sequential acts of mating behaviour were: arousal, approach, riding over, genitalia extension, connection achievement and post copulatory acts. This study helps to integrate this reduviid in IPM programme either directly or indirectly.


Recent observations revealed a mysterious ultra diffuse galaxy, NGC1052-DF2, in the group of a large elliptical galaxy, NGC1052. Compared to expectations from abundance matching models, the dark matter mass contained in NGC1052-DF2 is smaller by a factor of $\sim 400$. We utilize controlled $N$-body simulations of the tidal interaction between NGC1052 and a smaller satellite galaxy, that we suppose as the progenitor of NGC1052-DF2, to test if tidal stripping can explain dark-matter deficiency at such levels. We find that when assuming a tightly bound orbit as well as a relatively low concentration and cored density profile for the dark halo of the satellite, our simulations reproduce well both the mass profile and the effective radius inferred from the observations of NGC1052-DF2. Orbital parameters and halo concentration are in the tail, but still consistent with measurements of their distributions from cosmological simulations. Such strongly dark-matter deficient galaxies, in our scenario, are thus expected to be relatively rare in groups and clusters, and not present in the field.


Based on information theory and the improved entropy function,a new method called uncertain evaluation method is presented.It is very convenient to analyze the affection of uncertain information to force effectiveness.


To provide scientific instruction in predicting the climate changes and adopting the suitable measures for field cultivation and management of tobacco, the changes of main climatic parameters on multi-time scales in the six tobacco-planting counties of Chenzhou city in China were studied. Sunshine hours (S) in the six counties had significant positive linear correlation with year (from 1980 to 2020) and precipitation (P) changed irregularly on the scales of year, field-growth period, and rooting and flourishing stages, and they changed significantly in maturing stage. Sunshine hours (S) in the six counties had significant positive linear correlation with year on the scale of rooting stage, changed irregular with year on the scale of year, and showed different change tendencies in different counties in flourishing and maturing stages. On the scale of field-growth period, the daily cumulative temperature (T) was lower than the optimal value in rooting and flourishing stages, but higher than the optimal value in maturing stage.

The spectral iteration technique is used to solve electromagnetic scattering problems. A detailed analysis is carried out to investigate the convergence properties of the procedure, and a static solution is proposed as an initial estimate of the current to solve divergence problems. Diffraction by strips is considered to validate the method. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 29: 384–388, 2001.


Launched in January 2003, the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) has conducted several periods of science operations with the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS). The second extended for 55 days, between September and November 2003. During this period, data from the GLAS Laser Reference Sensor (LRS) was used to correct for apparent, possibly thermally induced, motion of the Instrument Star Tracker (IST). The use of this calibrated IST data in precision attitude determination (PAD) yields significant improvement in estimates of the laser-pointing direction.

We propose a new method to study the structure of the magnetosheath and thereby determine the underlying processes that create this structure. This method provides a systematic means of separating perturbations due to the solar wind variations from those generated within the magnetosheath. As a result, we are able to study the magnetosheath processes as well as the dynamic solar wind-magnetopause interaction. We use the solar wind measurements from an upstream monitor as the input to the gasdynamic convected field model and then compare the model output with the in situ magnetosheath observations. We introduce three parameters to scale the model prediction to match the timings of the magnetopause crossing, bow shock crossing, and upstream variations. With this procedure the relationship between the upstream measurements and the magnetosheath observations and the location of the magnetosheath satellite relative to the magnetopause and bow shock boundaries are highly constrained. We then introduce a series of normalization procedures that provide the means to remove the effects of the solar wind variations. The systematic differences between the model prediction and observation indicate physical processes that are not included in the gasdynamic model. An application of this approach is presented in a companion paper.

The ink layer components cure due to the charge has not been made, it is physically separated from the area cured by the charge.


Investigations of characteristics the ferroelectric crystals of A 2 MX 4 and AMX 3 type with incommensurate phases are very interesting both from a scientific and practical point of view. Some aspects of behaviour phase transitions of these crystals are discussed. Special attention is paid to the temperature dependence of series of different type phase transitions. Analysis of the literature data and results of our research let us to consider potential possibilities of practical applications of these materials for optoelectronic devices. Observed temperature hysteresis of birefringence and absorption coefficient in incommensurate phases are especially important for application as optical memories.


Memristive devices offer non-volatile storage capabilities, along with in-memory computation capabilities. Large scale passive crossbar arrays can be enabled by avoiding parasitic paths by means of a select device in series with a resistive switching device (1S1R). In this work, we utilize 1S1R Resistive RAM (ReRAM) arrays for realization of logic-in-memory operations, where each device is capable of performing the Boolean Majority operation with an input inverted. In contrast to the prior works, for the first time, we enable memristor-aided n-input OR operation in the same memristive array — some memristors initialized with data act as input and an additional memristor acts as output. By extending the reach of the underlying devices in terms of logic primitives, we boost the optimization of logical depth and device count. This improvement is demonstrated through a representative case study. This paves the way for new and improved memristive crossbar designs, compared to the state-of-the-art Majority only or NOR only memristive approaches.


A γ-Al_2O_3/α-Al_2O_3 ceramic hollow fiber nanofiltration(NF) membrane with a mean pore size of 1.6 nm and a molecular weight cut-off(MWCO) of 4000 Da was prepared by dip-coating γ-Al OOH sol on ceramic membranes with a mean pore size of 230 nm. The effects of operation parameters including operation pressure, salt concentration and p H of feed solution on membrane performance were investigated. Meanwhile, the retention rates of different inorganic salts(Ca Cl_2, Na Cl and Na_2SO_4) and different dyes(Victoria blue B-506 Da, Crystal violet-408 Da, Methyl blue-800 Da and Methyl Orange-327 Da) in the γ-Al_2O_3/α-Al_2O_3 hollow fiber NF membrane were studied. The results show that the retention rates of positively charged Victoria blue B and Crystal violet are 98.2% and 96.3%, respectively, and the retention rates of negatively charged Methyl blue and Methyl orange are 89.7% and 35.7%, respectively. These results indicate that the γ-Al_2O_3/α-Al_2O_3 hollow fiber ceramic NF membrane is positively charged.


The dynamic compensation of active power filter(APF) demands that the variable current in electrical net should be detected exactly and real-time.To avoid the shortages of existing detection methods of APF,a sliding-window iterative DFT algorithm is proposed for real-time detection of harmonic reference-current.It need less computation and is easy of to implement.The specific harmonic can be detected by extending the proposed algorithm,the feasibility and the effectiveness.


Pediatric otolaryngology-related diagnoses are commonly encountered in the emergency department setting. The symptoms within the ear, nose, and throat encompass a wide variety and can often have a very high acuity, so accurate recognition and treatment are paramount. Some of the more commonly encountered pediatric otolaryngology issues in the emergency department include otitis media, otitis externa, mastoiditis, neck masses, sinusitis, epistaxis, and laryngotracheal airway obstruction. The American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery and the American Academy of Pediatrics have published several consensus guidelines on these topics, which are helpful for standardizing the care of patients and decreasing their variances in treatment.


Russia is an important partner to China in economy and trade.After it enters the WTO,its trade conditions,investment environment,etc.will be changing remarkably.These changes will have a great influence upon the Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation.


The pathogens (presumed to be mycoplasma-like organisms) causing tomato big bud, legume little leaf, and a 'mild' form of lucerne witches' broom disease could be distinguished by differential symptomatology and incubation periods in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and Datura stramonium. They were regarded as reference 'type strains' of the Australian yellows disease agents. Incubation periods of the tomato big bud and legume little leaf agents in the leafhopper vector Orosius argentatus were similar, but the pathogen causing mild lucerne witches' broom was not transmissible by this insect. Six species of plants with yellows disease symptoms (shoot proliferation, small leaves, chlorosis, virescence) were collected from northern and southern Queensland. The pathogens were transmitted by O. argentatus to D. stramonium. From symptoms produced in this host, the various isolates were characterized as either the original big bud or little leaf reference strains. An isolate causing 'severe' lucerne witches' broom could not be distinguished from the legume little leaf type strain.


PsbT is a small hydrophobic PSII subunit that is encoded by chloroplast genome. Although psbT-deletion mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (?psbT) can grow photoautotrophycally under moderate light condition, the growth of this mutant is severely impaired by strong light illumination. Since the primary target of photoinhibition is PSII, PsbT may protect PSII against excess light and/or may be involved in the repair of photodamaged PSII. In this report, we studied photoinhibition and repair process of PSII in wild-type and ?psbT cells. In the strong light, the steady-state level of PSII proteins was constant in wild-type but slowly decreased in ?psbT. It was also found that O2 evolution was more severely photoinactivated in ?psbT. However, the both strains showed the same rates of photodegradation of PSII proteins and photoinactivation of O2 evolution. Subsequently, we have studied recovery of PSII after partial photoinactivation and found that the recovery was much slower in ?psbT than in wild-type. Since pulse-labeling experiments of chloroplast-encoded proteins revealed that the protein synthesis is not damaged by the photoinhibition treatment, it is concluded that PsbT is involved in the post-translational step(s) of the recovery process of photodamaged PSII. Localization and function of PsbT in PSII core complex is also discussed.


The magnetic field angle dependence of the critical current density Jc(H,θ) was measured in epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) thin films with strong flux pinning (Jc>25 GA m−2 at 77 K). The YBCO films were classified into two categories: (1) films that showed Jc(θ) peaks around with the shape of a stratovolcano (i.e., like Mount Fuji) and (2) films that showed high, broad Jc(θ) peaks centered at in addition to less prominent peaks. Transmission electron microscope observations revealed that the films in category 1 contained a high density of very small precipitates, most of which were less than 7 nm, and that the films in category 2 contained a high density of precipitates whose typical diameters ranged from 5 to 25 nm. The Jc(H,θ) data were analyzed based on the angular-dependent coherence length ξ(θ) within an anisotropic Ginzburg–Landau approximation. The pinning of the films in category 1 can be described by a direct summation of the core pinning interaction that is due to small point defects whose diameters are less than 2ξ. The high, broad Jc(θ) peaks centered at in the films in category 2 were due to a high density of larger precipitates, and they can also be explained by a similar analysis for spherical pinning centers whose diameters are larger than 2ξ.

On November 4, the permanent mission of the Holy See to the UN stated that it would discontinue its usual annual contribution ($2000) to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) because the agency: 1) advocated altering national legislation regarding abortion; 2) distributed contraceptives; and 3) participated in a 1995 UN publication ("Inter-agency Field Manual on Reproductive Health in Refugee Situations") that recommends use of emergency postcoital contraception in situations involving sexual violence. In the same statement, the Holy See described a shift in UNICEF activities based on the organization's failure to respond to requests that specific donations be used for "morally unobjectionable child-related projects"; pastors and church-related institutions were asked to review their contributions to UNICEF. Catholics for a Free Choice promptly announced a donation, equal to that discontinued by the Vatican, to UNICEF.


Although he spent much of his career in obscurity, Herman Melville, the author of classics such as "Moby-Dick", "Billy Budd", and "Bartleby, the Scrivener," has since become known as one of America's greatest writers. "How to Write about Herman Melville" offers valuable paper-topic suggestions, clearly outlined strategies on how to write a strong essay, and an insightful introduction by Harold Bloom on writing about Melville. This new volume is designed to help students develop their analytical writing skills and critical comprehension of the author and his major works.


In this paper, we develop an iterative multiuser joint decoding of code-division multiple-access (CDMA) signals based on a distributed optimization algorithm. For the joint decoding problem, decoding algorithm based on the turbo principle is widely used. The algorithm consists of soft-input soft-output (SISO) channel decoder and SISO multiuser detector and it can be derived as an application of the sum-product algorithm. On the other hand, in the research area of error correcting codes, the decoding algorithm based on convex optimization has been attracting a great deal of attention. Decoding algorithm based on linear programming (LP) has decoding error rate which is comparable with sum-product algorithm with stronger theoretical guarantees. We formulate the joint decoding problem of CDMA signals as an convex optimization problem and we present a relax form of the problem. Moreover, we propose a distributed algorithm which efficiently solves the relaxed optimization problem. The proposed algorithm is based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). We also see the performance of the proposed decoder through numerical simulations.


The Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) is the main international body responsible for adopting food safety rules. A particular problem is the issue of genetically-modified food since this topic has been in the public attention from the first instances of sowing genetically-modified crops in the mid-1990s. Because of the importance of the recommendations in the Codex, corporations are particularly interested in adopting the recommendations which cannot affect their profits – this is particularly evident in their effort to prevent the mandatory labelling of genetically-modified foods. In this chapter, through a brief historical overview of the process of labelling genetically-modified food, we will point to the complexity of this issue, which is manifested within a twentyyear process of issuing rules on labelling genetically-modified food.


"Image and Structure in Chamber Music " was first published in 1964. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The major portion of this book is devoted to descriptions of the most important chamber music works, taken up in separate chapters by composer in broadly chronological order--Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms. There are also chapters on the intimacy of chamber music, on the antecedents of the above-named composers, on nationalistic chamber music, on twentieth-century chamber music, and on chamber music in the United States.


Background and Objective: Burnout Syndrome (BS) also known as burnout is described as a phenomenon composed of feelings of failure and exhaustion, caused by excessive wear and energy resources, mediated by practice and work stress. In this sense, the nurse Primary Health Care (PHC) is not exempted in the development of the syndrome in question, since it is a profession that develops their work activities through direct contact with patients and families, making workloads too much which can depreciate the quality of care. This study becomes relevant because it will contribute to the PHC nurses have deeper knowledge of the
BS, and few studies at this level of health care. He stood as guiding question: What is the prevalence of BS nurses in the PHC based in Brazilian literature from 2000 to 2014? And as objective to determine the prevalence of BS nurses in the PHC. Content: This is an integrative literature review. To that end, we conducted survey of manuscripts published from 2000 to 2014, using as descriptors, in combination: nurse; burnout and primary care in the Virtual Health Library (VHL). Conclusion: It is not yet possible to know the prevalence of BS nurses in the PHC due to lack of studies in the area. KEYWORDS: Nurse. Burnout, Professional. Primary Health Care.


To refund taxes on exported goods is a general international practice and an important policy for a country to support thc development of companies.Our country has adjusted the policy of export tax rebates in 2004 and 2005 respectively i.e.this burden undertaken by central financing only into shared by central financing and local financing.This adjustment is helpful to release the burden of central financing and to ensure the implication of this policy,while it causes some effect on local financing.This thesis analyses the influence of the two reforms upon the development of local economy(taking thc city of Changsha as an example),and proposes some relative countermeasures to their negative effects.


A single-molecule break junction device serves as a tunable model system for probing the many-body Kondo state. The low-energy properties of this state are commonly described in terms of a Kondo model, where the response of the system to different perturbations is characterized by a single emergent energy scale, kBTK . Comparisons between different experimental systems have shown issues with numerical consistency. With a new constrained analysis examining the dependence of conductance on temperature, bias, and magnetic field simultaneously, we show that these deviations can be resolved by properly accounting for background, non-Kondo contributions to the conductance that are often neglected. We clearly demonstrate the importance of these non-Kondo conduction channels by examining transport in devices with total conductances exceeding the theoretical maximum due to Kondo-assisted tunneling alone.


Why study careers in accountancy? who are the accountants? what do accountants want from work? what are their attitudes towards careers in accountancy? developing and managing a diverse workforce.


Ten peanut cultivars from China were utilized in an attempt to evaluate the discrimination power of different molecular marker systems,including AFLP,SRAP,SSR and STS.AFLP and SRAP technology failed to identify individual peanut cultivar using a single primer pair,suggesting that more primer pairs and/or restriction enzyme combinations are needed.Nine primer pairs,viz,Lec-1,Ah4-26,Ah4-4,SsS14,SHPAL-1,PG-71,PG-43,PM-36,PG-22,resulting from screening of 103 SSR/STS primer pairs proved to have the discrimination power of 100%.Owing to the limited number of morphological,cytogenetic and biochemical markers in cultivated peanut,the 9 informative primer pairs are of significance in peanut genetic and variety identification studies.


In the 21st century, a joint research about different field of studies are rising. That's, because it's a shortcut to amplify the imagination and creativity of the knowledge. After a certain period of time, the knowledge of the major comes up to a limit. And needs a change in the source. Thus 'consilience type' of talent is needed in our society. So writing education of university to switch the direction of the new content, as well as seeking strategic type of education is needed. Also be placed, and a new cultural paradigm than the creative thinking of switching induced yet, teaching content with themselves and others. It should contain precious human values communication witht others, groups and society. In this paper, we will deal with the perspective of consilience education as academic linkage greatly divided into pan-liberal integration, jointed education of knowledge, common sense and human nature education of communication and coexistence, education of the multiple roles and examined the educational content. 'Writing' promotes and develop thinking skills. In other words, the process of writing about a piece of writing related to the topic of the specific content information, as well as knowledge of the subject has been combined with a variety of tl1inking activities. Therefore, education should be made in the direction of the commw1ication between the universal values that sustain the society and different groups 'writing'. Therefore in the sense that the university of 'writing' education constitutes the knowledge, it has taken integrated character. In this paper, linked academic contents as a part of integrated education are divided into four types. And I look forward to contributing the invigoration of new writing education.
