The economic intervention of the state has been particularly important in Brazil, and is an integral element of the so-called "economic model" which has been initiated by the bourgeoisie of other semi-colonial countries. This paper explores the issues posed by the "associated-dependent" form of development in Brazil, with particular attention to the role of the capitalist state in the economic process. It then takes up the political implications of this debate, particularly the notion that state intervention is in some way "progressive".


ABSTRACT Security is one important factor that help in development website . With a number of service business web-based like shop online and forth, so security stored data need to take care of well. Of the nature of application that often many accessed by easy by anyone can give its own problems because the application could cause attack security. One form of attack security on the application web namely sql injection. SQL Injection is the type action hackingon the security of the computer on which an attacher could get access to the base of data in system. A method of SQL Injection used by hackers usually use form-form in of website which not furnished with script special security.


Retrograde instillation of liquid into the colon allows a specific, percutaneous sonographic exami nati on of the colon to be performed . As part ofa prospec tive study of the diagnosis of co lonic tu mors in 260 patien ts, this form of colon sonography was examined together with colonoscopy. Sonographicall y, co lonic po lyps and carcinomas of the co lon manifested as echoge nic, pari etal masses. Using colonic sonography, it was possibl e to ide ntify 96 % of the carcinomas that had been diagnosed colonosco pica lly. Th e sonographic diagnosis of polyps was insuffici ent if they were smaller than 6 mm : if they were larger than 7 rnrn, ho wever, diagnostic sensiti vity was 9 1 %. Th e results of this study show that co lon sonogra phy is a new, sensitive method in the diagnosis of colonic tumors.


In the aspect of quality guarantee,Higher Education in the United States has formed a sound and well-functioning institutional mechanism of "Four in One",which includes the certification of certifying bodies,the institutions' internal guarantee,social evaluation,and the supervision of the government.Learning from the experience of the Higher Education quality guarantee in the United States,China should attach great importance to the construction of higher education quality guarantee system,support the establishment and development of independent assessment agencies,establish hierarchical classifying evaluation criteria to conduct classification assessment,establish and improve the institutions' self-evaluation mechanism,establish an open higher education data and information service platform,and strengthen the assessment's international exchanges and cooperation so as to promote the upgrading of the quality of higher education.


The Groundsure Review combines the most recent and detailed contamination and flood risk data to provide a comprehensive risk assessment.


Smoking had been increasing the risk factor of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), both active and passive smokers, which is caused by nicotine contained in cigarettes. Nicotine has metabolized by cytochrome p450 2a6 (CYP2A6) enzyme coded by the CYP2A6 gene. This gene was a high polymorphism that is the CYP2A6*4 allele gene was inactive. Thus, our objective was to describe the CYP2A6*4 allele gene among active and passive Javanese smokers with T2DM. From this cross-sectional study, we identified this allele gene among 46 of the adults with T2DM, which were consist of 23 active smokers and 23 passive smokers. The CYP2A6*4 allele gene identification has done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. The CYP2A6*4 allele frequency was analyzed to describe the distribution of this allele among the participants. This study supports the hypothesis that smoking, including cigarette smoke, was an environmentally modifiable risk factor for developing T2DM. Based on our result, the allele frequency among the participants was 42.39%. A high frequency of the CYP2A4 allele gene among the participants was indicating that the CYP2A4 allele gene was also the other risk factor in developing T2DM.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance between thoracic infections and the replacing time of one-off water seal bottle.Methods 196 cases with closed chest drainage and without thoracic infections were randomly divided into 4 groups,i.e.Group A: to replace the water seal bottle every day;Group B: to replace it every 3 days;Group C: to replace it every week;Group D: to replace it over a week until removing the tube.The normal saline in the one-off water seal bottle and the drainage fluid are cultured separately,and the case who has been found bacterium should be stopped.When bacterium were found in the drainage fluid,the thoracic transudates and the fluid in the previous 2 cm part of the tube should be cultured simultaneously.All the results should be analyzed statistically.Results All the bacterium cultures of normal saline in the one-off water seal bottle turn to be negative.13 cases were found positive in bacterium cultures of drainage fluid,with 8 kinds of bacterium.The bacterium were first found in Group A at the fourth time(on the fourth day) the one-off water seal bottle was replaced,and latest found in Group C at the second time(on the fourteenth day) the one-off water seal bottle was replaced.There was no significant difference among the four groups(P0.05).At the same time,the thoracic transudates and the fluid in the previous 2cm part of the tube of 196 cases are cultured.The result shows that one case was the same with the drainage fluid in the one-off water seal bottle while one was different,and no bacterium have been found in the other 194 cases.Conclusions The replacing time of one-off water seal bottle had no obvious relation with bacterium cultured in the one-off water seal bottles.Under strict aseptic operations,it was the best to replace the one-off water seal bottle every week for those tubes with long retention time.


A procedure is described which permitted the phosphorus containing constituents in allantoic membranes of embryonated eggs to be separated into fractions as follows: alcohol soluble phosphorus from which the phospholipids were separated, phosphorus soluble in 5% trichloroacetic acid in which inorganic phosphorus was determined, and nucleic acid phosphorus which was further separated into pentose and desoxypentose nucleic acids. This procedure was applied to membranes between 9 and 13 days of age. It was found that the total phosphorus amounted to 9 to 10 mgm. per gm. of dried tissue. Alcohol soluble phosphorus accounted for approximately 28%, acid soluble phosphorus for 37%, and nucleic acid phosphorus for 35% of the total phosphorus. About half the acid soluble phosphorus was inorganic and about 85% of the alcohol soluble phosphorus was associated with phospholipids. These proportions remained essentially constant over the period studied. The ratio of pentose to desoxypentose nucleic acid phosphorus also...


Localization is one of the core technologies commonly applied in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in urban fields. Most UAVs use Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to estimate their positions, whereas the GNSS signal can be affected by the occlusion of buildings in urban areas. We use a visual positioning method based on the monocular camera sensor information and offline reference map in the GNSS-denied environments to address this problem. Our goal is to obtain the UAV's pose data and the corresponding GPS position data by matching the simultaneous map with the reference landmark map. In order to adapt to the flight environment of different altitudes and different perspectives, we propose a monocular semantic SLAM system to provide long-range visual tracking and mapping of landmark buildings together with the feature points. Our SLAM system's landmark object is described in quadratic form, which contains information about its 3D position and poses to increase awareness of the environment. The system we propose provides positioning results with meter-level accuracy and improves the impact of accumulated visual SLAM errors.

Dissertation of Master's Degree Federal University of Santa Maria, RS, Brazil ANTIOXIDANT EFFECT OF A NOVEL CLASS OF TELLUROACETYLENE COMPOUNDS: STUDIES IN VITRO AND IN VIVO AUTHOR: ANA CRISTINA GUERRA DE SOUZA ADVISOR: CRISTINA WAYNE NOGUEIRA Date and Place of the defense: Santa Maria, 2010 Organotellurium compounds have been reported as antioxidants in several models of oxidative stress, especially in the brain. This study investigated the effect of telluroacetylenes a-d on pharmacological assays in vitro. A second objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant action of compound b against the oxidative damage induced by sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in mouse brain. In in vitro experiments, lipid peroxidation (LP) and protein carbonyl (PC) levels and δ-aminolevulinate dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) activity were carried out in rat brain homogenate. The mechanisms involved in the antioxidant effect of telluroacetylenes a-d were studied. The glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activity, glutathione S-transferase (GST)-like activity and the protection against Fe 2+ autooxidation were determined. Furthermore, the scavenger effect of 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH • ) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS •+ ) radicals and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were investigated. In in vivo experiments, mice received SNP (0.335 μmol per site) intra cerebroventricular (i.c.v.) thirty minutes after oral administration of telluroacetylene b (10 mg/kg). After 1 h, animals were euthanized. The levels of LP and δALA-D, GPx, GST, catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities were carried out in mouse brain homogenate. Telluroacetylenes a-d, at low μM range, reduced LP and PC levels in rat brain homogenate. Telluroacetylenes a-d showed effect of scavenging DPPH • and ABTS •+ radicals and H2O2. However the compounds had no GPx-like and GST-like activities or protected against Fe 2+ autooxidation, discarding that these mechanisms are involved in the antioxidant effect of telluroacetylenes a-d. δ-ALA-D activity was inhibited by telluroacetylenes a-d, at high μM range, in rat brain homogenate. In the in vivo experiments, brains of mice treated with SNP showed an increase in LP and the reduction in δ-ALA-D, GR and GST activities. Telluroacetylene b protected against the oxidative stress caused by SNP in brain of mice. Moreover, telluroacetylene b incresead per se GPx activity in brains of mice. The results support an antioxidant effect of telluroacetylenes a-d in vitro. Telluroacetylene b protected against oxidative damage caused by SNP in mouse brain, suggesting an antioxidant effect of this compound in vivo.


Modifiable behavioural risk factors are the leading causes of mortality in the developed world. Effective behaviour change interventions are thus the key to improving people's health (Mokdad, Marks, Stroup, & Gerberding, 2004). However, the current quality of published evaluations of behavioural interventions limits improvement in the science of behaviour change. In this editorial, we reflect on experiences gained when conducting a systematic review of 34 trials of behavioural interventions for obese adults with additional cardiovascular risk factors using Cochrane methodology (Dombrowski, Avenell, & Sniehotta, manuscript under review). We suggest the pressing need for improvements in current standards for developing, evaluating and reporting theory-based interventions, if there is to be a cumulative science of behaviour change.


Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data analytics are technological innovations that have the power to transform traditional businesses. These technologies can enable and accelerate a circular economy with closed material loops on a broader scale. We aim at providing information on how to disrupt prevailing linear business models by employing digital data, cloud computing and Internet of Things technologies. We give the reader an overview on circular economy and most prominent digital technologies affecting the incumbents of industry. We present the current deployment of a tool rental service and develop a scenario anticipating the possible future of the tool rental service. The envisioned tool rental scenario provides understanding on the effects of digital technologies and helps companies in identifying more sustainable and circular


Resveratrol is a kind of natural active substance, which has strong antioxidant activity and radioprotective effect. A large number of tests have shown that resveratrol can attenuates radiation damage and play an important role in radiation protection, has a good application prospects. This paper reviews the radioprotective effects of resveratrol on the hematopoietic system, the immune system, the nervous system, the respiratory system, and other devices and their mechanisms of action. Including the HO1 signaling pathway, Nrf2 pathway and other antioxidant mechanisms and the activation of Sirt1 regulate the downstream signals, promote TyrRs into the nucleus to play the role of radioprotection. The prospect of application of resveratrol was also prospected.

This paper looks at EPP and word order in Arabic in light of Chomsky's Labeling Theory, proposed in POP and POP Extensions. In the current framework, EPP—the principle that SpecTP must be filled in—is eliminated. EPP-driven movement is reduced to labeling failure: if T fails to label the structure that arises after E-merge of the subject in Spec of vP [DP vP], then filling SpecTP becomes necessary in order to 'strengthen' (the labelability of) T. Chomsky postulates two types of T: Strong and weak. English-type languages, which show poor agreement inflection, have a weak T, and therefore impose the Fill-SpecTP requirement. On the other hand, NSLs, Chomsky claims, have a strong T which can label the TP structure, by virtue of having rich agreement inflection. This paper shows that Chomsky's approach to EPP makes wrong predictions. Instead, a freezing effect account which also maintains a labeling system can explain the word order facts in Arabic. Crucially, the account proposed does not make resort to Chomsky's parameter of strength or otherwise of T.

Overseas travel can potentially trigger a relapse of psychotic disorders. One of the major contributing factors is jet lag syndrome, which appears after multiple time zone transitions as body rhythms shift out of phase with the local environment (Katz, 2011). Changes to medication times, dehydration, disruption to usual activities, confinement in a small aeroplane cabin seat for many hours and possible changes to biochemistry can also contribute to psychiatric complications. The aim of this letter is to highlight simple measures patients should be aware of in order to help prevent relapse of their illness while travelling. The following case highlights the importance of patient education. Mrs A is a 39-year-old female with schizoaffective disorder, well managed on sodium valproate and quetiapine. She was admitted to a psychiatric ward with mania and psychosis after a recent holiday overseas. The holiday involved multiple flights over long distances. On arrival at the overseas country Mrs A's mood was elevated and she had a decreased need for sleep; as a result, following discussion with her psychiatrist, her quetiapine dose was increased. This resolved the problem and while on holiday there were no other symptoms. On return to Australia Mrs A became increasingly manic. She checked into a hotel by herself for 3 days, ceased her medications and required minimal sleep; as a result she was admitted to a psychiatry inpatient unit. She was agitated, verbally abusive, highly disorganised and unable to follow direction. Mrs A required 10 days of treatment to recover, which caused significant problems for her and her family. Even though the current literature concerning jet lag triggering psychosis is inconsistent, evidence suggests it may yield an exacerbation of existing psychotic conditions (Katz, 2011). Suggestions to minimise dramatic disruptions to body rhythms:

This article reviews research on the typical development of joint attention and challenges that infants and toddlers with autism experience in achieving this milestone. We define joint attention as coordinating attention to an event or object with another individual, sharing interest and social engagement, and showing an understanding that the partner is sharing the same focus. Conceptual frameworks for understanding joint attention are organized around three theoretical perspectives: cognitive-perceptual, language, and social-affective. Several intervention models are explored for their applicability to promoting joint attention in very young children. Finally, future research needs related to joint attention in early intervention are described.


Enterococci a variety of species and formerly believed to be of no medical importance; recently they emerged as life threatening multidrug-resistant (MDR) nosocomial pathogens. Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium make up the majority of clinical isolates. Furthermore, these bacteria are naturally resistant to most commonly used antibiotics. The study assesses the prevalence of Enterococcus spp. in different clinical samples; pinpoints the prevalence of species causing infection in this area and finally analyzes the patterns of drug resistance of these isolates. A total of 560 samples were collected and plated on blood and chocolate agar. Species identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed using automated VITEK 2 system. Four species of Enterococci were isolated: E. faecalis (74%), E. faecium (18%) and only (4%) of each E. gallinarum and E. avium. E. faecalis had a (100%) rate of resistance to Gentamycin. E. faecium , a rate of (100%) resistance to Benzylpenicillin. E. gallinarum showed complete resistance to a variety of antibiotics. E. avium showed complete resistance to Ampicillin and Tetracycline. Enterococci represent an infection control challenge in the region, a careful usage of antibiotics and implementation of infection control practices is believed to reduce the risk of infection.


This paper  present in accordance with the field research findings (empirical data), observation conducted by the writer. This research  is a case study  in   Subak Wangaya Betan (SWB) focus on preserving  Subak through revitalizing  local knowledge .  Now a days it is very rare researches  focus on local knowledge  roles in Subak, how ever  in fact its very important to empower local knowledge in strong cultural community. SWB is one of successful subak in Bali on preserving local knowledge to be a core rule on sustainable agriculture. Many debates on issue that Bali only focus on tourism industry will be refused when SWB will nominate by UNESCO being one of natural cultural heritage of Bali province. The focus of this research is to observe how SWB still exist and developed preserving their activities on agriculture areas and how strugling of SWB face of many dispute of environment and natural  disaster.  The findings of this research are the involvement of  local knowledge activities and  ritual  on somehow  was ignorance, but in fact its very tough to consolidate community to encourage their awreness of environment problem. In order to get food security and biosecurity interest, the research need to more deeper observe the implementation of the rituals activities and local knowledge roles in the reality of farmer life.


The authors focus on the fight against the most common helminthic diseases of agricultural animals as they see it as an important part of the veterinary science. Bunostomosis is one of such diseases; it is a helminthiasis of ruminants caused by vipostomum trigonocephalum nematodes (in sheep and goats) and vipostomum phlebotomum (mainly in the cattle), which are parasitic in the small intestines. The disease is characterized by diarrhea, exhaustion and death of ruminants. The disease is widespread and causes great economic damage. The authors explored the prevalence of tuberculosis and age-related infection with tuberculosis by ovoscopy and levoscopy in the Amur region. They examined 2655 animals, including 1415 small ruminants and 1240 cattle from five districts of the Amur region. The researchers examined 4 calves and 4 lambs aged 4 inorder to study the period of bunostom development in the organism of animals, which were infected with percutaneously and orally. Brown larvae received from faeces of spontaneously infested animals is considered to be the material for infection. The development and survival of larvae in the environment were investigated in 2016-2017. The authors found out that in the Amur region larvae develop at the temperatures above 40С. The period of development at the temperature from 40С tо 9 0С was 23 days. When the temperature was increasing, the development period was reduced to 5-7 days. In October larvae stop their development. The underdeveloped eggs and larvae left die in winter. At the farms of the Amur region, the infection rate of cattle and sheep is 31.9 and 49.6%. The bunostome infection of the cattle aged 1-11 months is 59,8%; 1-2 years - 26,0; 3 years and more - 19,9; sheep aged 4-11 months infection rate is 52,9; 1 year - 60,9, 3 years and more - 38,7%. The authors observed bunostomes development during 89-102 days in the ruminant organism before the sexually mature stage in the conditions of the Amur region.

This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of predicting Form C and Form E Nelson-Denny Reading Test scores from ACT subtest scores. ACT scores from 2,431 students were used to predict Form C Nelson-Denny raw scores, and scores from 3,016 students were used to predict Form E raw scores. The results indicated that NelsonDenny Total scores could be predicted, with a moderate degree of accuracy, from ACT English Usage and ACT Social Studies Reading scores. These results support the use of ACT test scores in screening for reading placement. Such use may preclude the need for administering other tests for the same purpose. This report includes tables to estimate Form C and Form E Nelson-Denny Total raw scores from ACT English Usage and ACT Social Studies Reading scores. Tables for converting predicted scores to percentile ranks and grade equivalents are also provided. ESTIMATING READING SKILL FROM ACT ASSESSMENT SCORES


A single‐pulse 30‐psec Nd‐YAG laser was used to induce five‐photon photoelectric emission from a gold metal cathode. The time and the spectral distributions were Gaussian. The pulse was selected from a mode‐locked pulse train and amplified. Theoretically predicted intensity dependence curves have been obtained with a certain decrease of the photoionization probability towards the high light intensities. The measured polarization dependence shows that the photoeffect is a surface one. However, an interesting effect was found, which seems to be connected with the phase relations of the oscillating em field components.

The craniofacial region receives irradiation from both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in dentistry and medicine. An estimation was made of the highest absorbed doses in the maxillofacial region following common dental and medical diagnostic and radiotherapeutic procedures. The maximum accumulated absorbed doses to the skin in the typical orthodontic patient was 30–40 mGy. The maximum values in medical radiology were 150 mGy for a single examination. The doses to patients from scattered irradiation at radiotherapy of tumors close to the facial region was within the range 0.2–20 Gy for the facial skin; measured on phantoms the doses were lower and within the range 0.2–10 Gy. The dose to the facial region during orthodontic treatment is relatively low. The higher doses to this region found for medical diagnostic radiography and radiotherapeutic procedures mainly concerns adults.


This paper contains as detailed a calculation as our present knowledge permits of the expected frequency with which a gravitationally oriented, earth-pointing satellite will undergo an angular deflection of any given magnitude due to micrometeorite impact. The dynamic analysis takes account of the geometry of the satellite and provides for an arbitrary assumed mass distribution of incoming micrometeorites. Numerical results are computed for two satellite geometries in which the moments of inertia are augmented by the extension of rods with tip masses. Calculations are carried out using Whipple's 1963 estimate of micrometeorite flux rate and also his well-known 1958 estimate. Typical results, using the 1963 estimate, are that deflections of 5° or larger will occur only once in several years, whereas overturning may occur once in a few hundred years.


Objective: To explore the anti reflux operation style about the esophagogastrostomy. Methods: We chose the dogs as the experimental objects.At first we resected the seromuscular layer by 8×4 cm on the front wall of the gastric fundus to shape up a mucous membrane tube.Then the mucous membrane of esophagus was lengthened by 1.5 cm and anastomosed with the mucous membrane tube of gaster layer by layer separately.The dogs were killed 7~180 days after operation and contrasted with those on which were operated of "deep intussusception". Results: The blood supply of the underlying mucous membrane was good.The diameter of the anastomotic stoma of the muscular layer and the length of the protrusion into the gastric cavity were not significantly different in two groups ( P0.05 ).The diameter of the anastomotic stoma of the mucous membrane was obviously different in two groups ( P0.01) .The experimental group could bear more gastric pressure.The pressure change of gaster with esophagus was significantly different in two groups ( P0.01). The thickness of the protrusion into the gastric cavity was differ by more than one time in two groups. Conclusion: ① To resect the muscular layer properly does not result in ischemic necrosis of the mucous membrane.② Because the valve of the mucous membrane shaped up is thin,its close function is strong when the pressure change of gaster with esophagus act on it.So it has better antireflux result.③ To anastomose in different planes layer by layer separately can prevent from the fistula and stricture of the anastomotic stoma in a certain degree.

Manual filtering becomes a tedious task for the recruiter as there are thousands of candidates applying for a single job posting. In this paper, a Long Short-term Memory (LSTM)-based and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based approach are introduced for categorizing resumes submitted by candidates. Along with proposed CNN and LSTM model, also implemented other baseline models such as Random Forest, K-nearest neighbor, and Support Vector Machine. The resumes of the candidates and the job description are compared using Cosine Similarity. The list of job applicants is ranked based on the percentage obtained by Cosine Similarity.


ABSTRACT This article argues for an active role for theory in designing, especially feminist theory and cultural studies, both as a means of theorizing design through the work of designers and as a means of reflecting on the complex contexts in which designing takes place and designs take hold. This has particular relevance in the participatory and user-centered frameworks increasingly favored in design practices and education. Changes in design methods, the emergence of "design thinking" in a range of fields including but not always linked to design, and the growth of contemporary "social design" over the past two decades have greatly shifted design practices and contexts. This article argues that Donald Schön's exploration and theorization of "reflective practice" should be expanded to include a framework for seeing what designers are "reflecting through" in relationship to their own position and location. Building on Lucy Suchman's argument for "located accountability," the author proposes that critical engagement with a range of theories of worldmaking and worldknowing to increase and ground design and designers' points of reference is critical to practice and, therefore, education in design fields.

Our first data on school children who are prone to mental illness (1) came from a study done more than ten years ago (2). The study indicated that the most disturbed children in our schools were already disturbed when they entered school and that vulnerable children tended to become seriously disturbed in their earliest school years. Subsequent investigations showed that 80 per cent of these (clinically adjudged) disturbed children were not "troublesome" or disruptive, but were anxious, withdrawn, apathetic, or depressed (3).

We present a theory for ultrashort pulse generation in cw solid-state lasers with a nonlinear Fabry-Perot resonator containing semiconductor layer that possesses of nonlinear refraction. Assuming the Fabry-Perot resonator to be much shorter than the pulse width and that the semiconductor absorber is fully saturated by the pulse energy, which is the case in real-world lasers, we derive the expressions for the Fabry-Perot resonator transmission in two limiting cases.

The invention relates to a tunnel cavity separated roadway ventilation method. An axial flow fan is used, so that dirty air and clean air in a tunnel flow respectively. The ventilation method comprises the following steps: 1) a tunnel cavity separated roadway is formed in the tunnel, the tunnel which has a lining is separated into an upper tunnel cavity and a lower tunnel cavity by a tunnel cavity separating layer, and the upper and lower tunnel cavities form the separated roadway; 2) the working position of the axial flow fan is adjusted according to the tunneling dimension and air supply condition of the tunnel; and 3) measures of preventing from influencing the ventilation effect are taken, and the tunnel cavity separating layer extends out of the tunnel by 20 meters at a 10-degree upswept angle to prevent the dirty air flowing out of the tunnel from the lower tunnel cavity from being mixed with the clean air of the upper tunnel cavity and sucked into the tunnel so as to prevent from reducing the quality of the clean air of the upper tunnel cavity and influencing the ventilation effect. The tunnel cavity separating layer is made of waterproof woven cloth and steel strands. The tunnel cavity separated roadway ventilation method has the advantages of novel concept, reasonable method, economy, applicability, simple construction, obvious effect and low construction cost.


This paper proposes a user interface and interactivity adaptor for PCs, Internet protocol televisions (IPTVs), and mobile devices. The adaptor accounts for the screen limitations for display of mobile devices and the remote control limitations for the interactivity of IPTVs. A framework for convergence of these client‐side devices is also proposed as a basis for a video sharing service. In‐depth verification and evaluation demonstrate the robustness of the proposed adaptor.


A signal processing apparatus converts a multi-bit audio signal having the conventional sampling frequency fs KHz and m quantizing bits (m is an integer) into a one-bit audio signal having the sampling frequency 64 x fs KHz and one quantizing bit. Hence, the apparatus can offer an audio signal in a highly dynamic range. Further, the apparatus separates sub-data added to the multi-bit audio signal in transmission from the multi-bit audio signal and sigma-delta modulates the multi-bit audio signal through the effect of a sigma-delta modulator. This suppresses the adverse effect on the audio signal. The apparatus also controls the supply of a timing signal and a clock signal to the sigma-delta modulator and a D/A converter based on the sub-data. This makes it possible to positively control switching timing. This can be for magneto-optical discs.

To evaluate fire resistance of the floor materials which are composed of ceramic board or aluminum foam with weight lightening, fire resistance of railcar floor is numerically analyzed.


Summary 133 blood vessels were evaluated for vasculokinase concentration in the freshly morbid state. High concentrations of activity were found in the aorta, iliac artery, superior mesenteric artery and popliteal artery. Activity was occasionally found in the inferior vena cava and common iliacs veins. Other vessels evaluated had no activity. Evaluation of the data with respect to vas-culokinase activity and atherosclerosis suggests higher levels of vasculokinase in those vessels having atherosclerosis.

[Extract] Bay lobsters of the genus Thenus are a valuable component of the incidental catch of the penaeid trawl fisheries of northern Australia. The 2 species present, Thenus indicus Leach, 1815 and Thenus orientalis (Lund, 1793), have mutually exclusive distributions. For each species, relative abundance, size and sex composition were measured monthly and related to physical characteristics including temperature, salinity, depth and sediment type. Both species populations were characterised by contagious distributions. Mean density of T. indicus was 1.78 (±0.15) lobsters ha⁻¹, while that of T. orientalis was 2.02(±0.13). In both populations, depth and sediment type were significantly correlated with abundance. T. indicus was most abundant in depths of 10-30 m and where sediments were characterised by a preponderance of find sands and silt. In contrast, T. orientalis was most abundant in 1.00 mm particle size. In both species, mean size varied significantly thorughout the year as a function of growth and recruitment. Male and female T. indicus were equally abundant, while male T. orientalis were significantly more abundant than females.

Rural women play an important role in agricultural production and have been increasing considerably. Though women's contribution in food production, food processing leading to eventual export of agricultural production has been well documented but not fully recognised they face greater constraints than men farmers (Chand et al., 2012). Women farmers have been reported to be 20-30 per cent less productive than men (FAO, 2011). Despite women"s significant and crucial role in agricultural development and allied activities, they have virtually no access to agricultural information, services or production assets and have very limited control over their earnings (Huyer and International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 11 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com


his paper evaluates the reliability of environmental accounting provisions through two criteria: they must be free from manipulation and free from errors in their recognition. Following the usable statistical methods in auditing to detect accounting fraud, Benford's goodness of fit tests of the environmental provisions of the French listed companies are ran over the period of 2005-2010. In contrast to previous studies impairing the reliability of environmental provisions, our results indicate that those disclosed by the French listed companies are reliable, unlike their total provisions for possible losses. Thus, these results call for a mandatory detailed disclosure of provisions, because detailed amounts are more reliable than the total ones.


Pt/SrZr_(0.95)Y_(0.05)O_(3-) particles were prepared by co-precipitation and solid phase method with TiO_2 sol having nitrogen containing source reagent. Pt particles were further deposited by in situ photoreduction method to prepare heterojunction composite catalysts. These obtained composite particles were characterized by XRD, TG-DTA, UV-Vis DRS and Fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The photocatalytic hydrogen production from oxalic acid solution was used as a probe reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the composite catalysts under simulated sunlight irradiation. The effect of different nitrogen source reagents, calcination temperature and the Pt loading on the photocatalytic hydrogen production activity of catalysts was discussed. The results indicate that a small amount of hydrogen is evolved for single Pt/SrZr_(0.95)Y_(0.05)O_(3-) and TiO_2 under simulated sunlight irradiation. The composite catalyst prepared by the combination of Pt/SrZr_(0.95)Y_(0.05)O_(3-) and TiO_2 by sol-gel method and doping nitrogen shows good activity for hydrogen production, and it demonstrates the optimized photocatalytic activity of hydrogen production when the nitrogen source reagent is triethamine and calcination temperature is 400 ℃. After further depositing metal Pt, the photocatalytic activity of hydrogen production is greatly improved, and the amount of hydrogen is up to 12.5 mmol within 6 h when the optimized loading is 2wt%, which is 22 times more than that of samples without Pt. Loading metal Pt further inhibits the combination of photo-generated carriers, and therefore the photocatalytic activity is greatly improved.


The aim of this study is to determine microbial activities and physicochemical properties of pesticide treated soils and waters . Nutrient agar (NA)and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) were used for the enumeration of total heterotrophic bacteria and fungi respectively. Soil CO2-evolution was estimated every 5-days for 25 days. Total nitrogen, available phosphorus, dehydrogenase activity, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) were also determined . Bacillus subtillis, Bacillus macerans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Psedomonas putida and A. niger were of common occurrence in all soil samples. The total bacterial counts in the farmland soils which had received pesticide treatment in Egbe (9.330 × 105 ±0.278 CFU/g), Ijele (10.170 ×105±0.211 CFU/g) and imaka(9.47 × 105 ±0.334 CFU/g) were higher than control (7.100 ×105 ±0.177 CFU/g, 7.470 ×105 ±0.186 CFU/g, 6.72 ×105 ±0.125 CFU/g) soil samples respectively. The total fungal counts (1.130 ×105±0.126 CFU/g,0.850 ×105±0.050 CFU/g, 0.680 ×105±0.048 CFU/g, 1.10 ×105±0.037 CFU/g) at the point of pollution at Egbe, Ibido, Ijele and Imaka respectively were found to be higher than their respective control soil samples. The BOD ranged from 15.837±0.187 to 20.853±0.254 mg/L. The DO, COD and BOD of the control water samples were significantly (P≤0.05) higher than the values obtained at the point of pollution. This study indicated the extent of microbial and pesticide pollution; further addition of wastes may deteriorate the existing hygienic quality of water in these locations. Abstract


Chandler (1949) points out that the science of parasitology "really came of age" during World War II. The many evidences of this growth are reflected only partially in the number of surveys of parasitic incidence among military personnel in many parts of the world. Many surveys were made during and shortly after World War Il-some in military hospitals, others among prisoners of war, and others ramong personnel being released to inactive duty. Since the problems attendant upon parasitic infection were brought to the fore usually after the siervice man had left his training area, it was thought desirable to determine the relative amount of infection prior to completion of basic training. Sapero and Johnson (1939) found a significant difference in the percentage of infections among Navy recruits from the southern states compared with those from other states. These authors concluded that most infections with Endamoeba histolytica were acquired prior to naval service. Michael (1946) further concluded that amebic infections among returning service men do not constitute a public health problem. Taylor (1951), in a survey of 991 Marine Corps personnel found a low combined incidence (1.3 per cent) of Endamoeba histolytica. The same investigator found no significant difference in hookworm infection between overseas and non-overseas personnel, but a highly significant difference between individuals from the southern coastal states against all other states represented. In the present study it was thought desirable to determine if the incidence of parasites in select group of servicemen who had not yet, completed recruit training varied from that among other groups studied.

Some equations of anisotropic acousto-optic (AO) diffraction geometry have been derived by the aid of tangent condition. The relationships of incident angle of optic wave vector, diffraction angle of optic wave vector, acoustic extremum frequency and AO merit vs acoustic deviation angle in z-t plane are given in detail. These equations are more simple and accurate than traditional Dixon equations. The calculation results indicate that the center frequencies of the TeO2 anisotropic AO devices have a minimum threshold, and the mode of the +1 order diffraction is better than -1 order to same center frequency. For the convenience of the device design, some design parameters and function parameters are showed for the TeO2 anisotropic AO device below the center frequency of 200 MHz.


Until recently, research progress in the field of Parkinson's disease has been slow compared with other therapeutic areas. However, a new consortium of pharmaceutical companies, academic researchers and charities – the Critical Path for Parkinson's Consortium – is helping to accelerate the development of new treatments to slow disease progression.


We propose a new approach to 3D environment mapping from a mobile robot, using visual information provided by alow-cost stereo vision system. Depth information recovered from disparity maps serves as input for our method that uses probabilistic modelling to determine if a region is occupied or freein an occupancy grid approach. There is no similar approach in the literature, based on statistical modellingof the errors from stereo measurements and robot's motion, so this is the main contribution of this work. The resulting map canbe directly used in tasks like obstacle avoidance, navigation, localization, exploration and path planning,enabling a mobile robot to perform autonomous navigation in its environment. Real experiments done with a Pioneer 3AT mobile robot equipped with a Minoru stereowebcam show the efficiency of our mapping approach.


Solvent-free, single-ion conducting electrolytes are sought after for use in electrochemical energy storage devices. Here, we investigate the ionic conductivity and how this property is influenced by segmental mobility and conducting ion number in crosslinked single-ion conducting polyether-based electrolytes with varying tethered anion and counter-cation types. Crosslinked electrolytes are prepared by the polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate, and ionic monomers. The ionic conductivity of the electrolytes is measured and interpreted in the context of differential scanning calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy measurements. A lithiated crosslinked electrolyte prepared with PEG31DA and (4-styrenesulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (STFSI) monomers is found to have a lithium ion conductivity of 3.2 × 10−6 and 1.8 × 10−5 S/cm at 55 and 100 °C, respectively. The percentage of unpaired anions for this electrolyte was estimated at about 23% via Raman spectroscopy. Despite the large variances in metal cation–STFSI binding energies as predicted via density functional theory (DFT) and large variations in ionic conductivity, STFSI-based crosslinked electrolytes with the same charge density and varying cations (Li, Na, K, Mg, and Ca) were estimated to all have unpaired anion populations in the range of 19 to 29%.


China today is the largest country in terms of population on our planet. The Chinese diaspora also occupies a leading position in the world. According to various sources, in 2021 the total number of the Chinese living abroad was 38.9 million people. There is a large Chinese diaspora in Canada with a rather interesting history. There are now 1.92 million Chinese Canadians living there. The Chinese living in this country have influenced and continue to influence its economy as a fairly active part of the population.


This paper deals with the optimization of an electric drive system used to emulate the wind turbine in a wind generators test bench. The prime mover used to rotate the wind generators in the studied test bench is a three-phase Induction Motor IM whose motion is controlled using a vector control scheme. The numerical optimization methodology proposed in the paper refers to the smart identification of the most suitable PI regulators coefficients that provide the best system response in terms of stability, accuracy or speed. These coefficients are usually determined based on simplified hypotheses and then tuned manually so as the system response comply with the imposed criteria. The proposed methodology allows the automatic identification of these coefficients using intelligent optimization algorithms. This search procedure is used to better control a three-phase IM motor drive system destined to the emulation of the wind prime mover integrated in a wind generators test bench.


While instances of Jesus' separate treatment of some of the issues involved in Matthew 5 are attested elsewhere in the Gospels, their thematic combination within a unifying exegetical framework stands out as trademark of the compiler of the Sermon on the Mount. This chapter addresses the exegetical techniques applied in a number of antithetic sayings from the Sermon on the Mount as well as in a passage from Matthew 19. It discusses the structure of text as it stands now. A number of parallels in Jewish sources are reviewed, and question is raised of their relevance to the study of Sermon. The chapter suggests that even when the conclusions drawn and regulations derived from Torah exegesis in different traditions vary radically, the exegetical techniques applied seem to constitute a shared element of religious discourse, its basic syntax inherited from earlier generations. Finally, a typology of antitheses' polemical stance is suggested.Keywords: antitheses; exegetical techniques; Gospels; Jewish sources; Matthew 5; Midrashic aspects; Sermon; Torah exegesis


Badminton is an international sport which is included in international games like Asian Games and Olympic Games. International badminton governing organization is known as Badminton World Federation (BWF). After the two centuries since it is founded, badminton is now widely claimed as the second most popular sport in the world behind
soccer in terms of participation. Badminton is the main sport that Malaysia targets for its first Olympic gold medal. Almost all Malaysians have interest on badminton. If the game is promoted properly in Malaysia, we can produce a new generation who are committed towards this sport and become a fan and supporters for Malaysia. To develop the interest toward this sport, a platform which functions as a mediator between the fans and the sports events is needed. The need of user to know about the results of badminton tournament is fulfilled by the system. Moreover, the system enables the results reach users through email alerts and SMS messages. Besides that, it creates medium for sharing through its discussion board feature. This feature helps users to point out their thoughts and opinions about badminton sport in a good way. This webbased application is a bridge for the users to the badminton world.


Object tracking based on mean shift (MS) algorithm has been very successful and thus receives significant research interests. Unfortunately, traditional MS based tracking only utilizes the gradient of the similarity function (SF), neglecting completely higher-order information of SF. The paper regards MS based tracking as an optimization problem, and proposes to make use of both the gradient and Hessian of SF. Specifically, we introduce Newton algorithm with constant, unit step and Newton with varying step lengths, and trust region algorithm. The advantage of exploiting higher-order information is that higher convergence rate and better performance are achieved. Diverse experiments are made to compare traditional MS based tracking with the proposed algorithms, showing that the proposed algorithms have better performance at comparable computational cost.


Addition of Re markedly changes the activity, selectivity, and stability of Pt/NaY and Pt/NaHY catalysts for n-heptane conversion at 500˚C and 0.5 MPa. The effect of Re depends strongly on the method of catalyst preparation


This paper models a supply chain problem and employs simulation-based optimization to analyze it. The model represents a manufacturer of multiple products from multiple raw materials that has control over the price of the products. The decisions to be optimized in the model are ordering policies of raw materials, inventory control of finished goods, manufacturing capacity of each product, and prices set on the products. The uncertainties involved are lead times of ordering inventory and the demand of the products. We consider the case of periodic review of raw materials and finished goods inventories on discrete time. The objective is to find the best configuration of the system to maximize profit. We show how simulation-based optimization could find the best configuration through an example.


VLSI Cell partitioning is considered as Hypergraph model, which can be a treated a randomized algorithm through the markov chain. This approach helps to give a probabilistic algorithm through transition probability matrices of a markov chain for VLSI partitioning. In the second model SAT problem situation is used to model FPGA Layout. As almost all problems posed in VLSI design and analysis are NPComplete, any attempt to solve them is to identify some reduction tool to NP-Complete problems. One such reduction is attempted through SAT Problem. .

T structure of a laminar boundary layer with massive blowing is greatly complicated in view of the viscidinviscid interactions. These interactions result in larger deflection of incident flow and also a significant alteration in the major flow variables including pressure distribution. To date various analytical models have been developed for the prediction of the flowfield. More recently, numerical studies based on the laminar boundary-layer approximation have been developed for the prediction of a boundary-layer flow structure with a prescribed pressure gradient. Methods adopted in the numerical investigation include backward shooting, Libby, Nachtsheim and Green, Liu and Nachtscheim, and matrix method Garrett, Smith, and Perkins. Although it has been shown by Liu and Nachtsheim that the backward shooting technique is stable, its computing timeis long and increases as injection rates increase. Therefore, from an economic point of view, it is highly desirable to devise another stable and yet fast numerical scheme. With this motivation, the authors tried the matrix method resulting from various finite differencing. However, for differential equations with large parasitic eigenvalues such as massive blowing problem, most differencing schemes result in a matrix with large condition number and therefore is unstable. It is the purpose of the present study to propose a fast, stable, and easy to code matrix method of which the number of nodes and rate of convergence (and therefore the computing time) are independent of injection rate.

The paper also discusses various software tools, which may be used for modeling and simulation purpose.


A justification for another account of the bird head skeleton lies in the fact that earlier ones are either so complex (Parker, 1869)' so brief and general that it is difficult to identify some of the parts (Newton and Gadow, 1893-1896; Stresemann, '27-'34; GrassQ, '50)' so confused in their terminology that the identity of some bones is in question (Magnus, 1871)' or just incomplete (Schinz and Zangerl, '37). Usually it is a combination of these factors that leaves one in doubt (Marinelli, '36; Erdmann, '40). An example of the existing confusion is presented by the figure of Heilmann ( '26, fig. 3). He shows the opisthotic as forming the posterior margin of the tympanic cavity in the goose (Amer) while Stresemann ('27-'34, fig. 53)' using the same drawings, has united Heilmann's exoccipital and opisthotic and labelled the combined bone the exoccipital. Ihle ('47, fig. 227) has used this same figure but introduced some new labels. Not only is there confusion of parts but the exact extent of various bones and their interrelationships with other bones cannot be determined from the available descriptions ; this is particularly true of the bones of the auditory capsule, the basis cranii and the posterior wall of the cranium. New methods of study have appeared since the early foundation works on vertebrate skulls; the most important of


This paper described the practice of real-time booking registration, in which the patients may freely choose their visit time points, by such means as the outpatient clinic, website, telephone or short messaging. Such booking registration is an important measure to improve service quality at outpatient clinics; information technology is a prerequisite for real-time booking registration; pooling of outpatient ID number resources is key to setting up the booking registration; the prepaid card deposit practice makes booking registration more efficient; enhanced management for supporting services safeguards booking registration; cooperation with qualified third parties is an effective way to accomplish booking registration in a convenient manner. This paper also probed into other issues in relation to real-time booking registration.

Key words:

Divorced subjects (47 women and 19 men) completed ratings of divorce adjustment, a self-esteem subscale, and perceived family of origin's emotional health. A nonsignificant Pearson's correlation between divorce adjustment and family of origin's health was obtained plus a small significant r of .25 between self-esteem and family of origin's health for the women.


TiO2 chiral sculptured thin films (CSTFs) prepared using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) method based on electron beam evaporation are studied. The relationship between structural parameters and circular Bragg phenomenon (CBP) is investigated. Results demonstrate that, the central wavelength of Bragg regime red-shifts with the increasing pitch of helix, and peak value of selective transmittance will increase after adding more turns to the helix. After annealing, the central wavelength blue-shifts and the peak value rises. Tuning CBP by modulating the deposition parameters and annealing can optimize the performance of circularly polarized devices fabricated from CSTFs.


This text presents the translation of letters written by Marion Bryce to her mother, Mrs. Ashton, in October 1901 while she was in Mexico with her husband, the British academic and liberal James Bryce, mp. Marion's stay in Mexico has not been of interest for specialists on British travel writing but is worth of recovery as it allows us to know more about the political, economic, social and daily life during the Porfirian regime.


Introduction: Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents. OS incidence varies significantly with age and peak incidence is in adolescent age group. Telangiectatic osteosarcoma (TOS) is an unusual variant of OS, forming 3–10% of all OSs. Only few case reports of this rare variant of OS are described in the literature. Case Report: We report a 6-year-girl who presented with fracture of the left proximal humerus after a trivial trauma. X-ray left shoulder showed osteolytic lesions in the left proximal humerus with fracture of proximal humerus. Open biopsy from the left proximal humerus osteolytic lesion suggested clusters of highly atypical cells like osteoid material and focal areas of hemorrhage and necrosis suggestive of TOS. The child was started on chemotherapy followed by limb-salvage surgery with wide resection of the tumor in the left proximal humerus. She completed her adjuvant chemotherapy and is currently doing well for the past 4 years. Conclusion: OS occurs more frequently in adolescents around the knee in the metaphyses. The most common histologic type is osteoblastic/fibroblastic or chondroblastic type. Very few cases have been reported in <5 years age group and it's relatively rare in 5–10-year-old children. Rare histologic variants, especially telangiectatic variant, are more common in younger children and occur more in upper limbs. Imaging reveals mainly osteolytic lesions, unlike in conventional OS. This case highlights the utmost role of histopathology in the diagnosis of the bone tumors which would guide the management appropriately.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) pretreatments on selected physical properties (shrinkage, rehydration, color, texture) and drying kinetics and to model the drying kinetics of hot air dried mushrooms using several mathematical models, such as the Henderson–Pabis, logarithmic, two-term, Verma, Wang and Singh, Midilli, and modified Henderson–Pabis models. Results showed that the use of UV-B pretreatment before mushroom drying reduced shrinkage, color changes, firmness, and drying time and increased rehydration and the effective moisture diffusion coefficient. The amount of activation energy increased from 16.55 ± 1.3 kJ/mol (control sample) to 18.27 ± 2.2 kJ/mol (UV-B treated samples for 30 min), 19.72 ± 1.4 kJ/mol (UV-B treated samples for 60 min), and 21.9 ± 1.9 kJ/mol (UV-B treated samples for 90 min). However, increasing the drying temperature increased the shrinkage and firmness of samples. The modified Henderson–Pabis model with the highest correlation coefficient (R2) and lowest root mean square error (RMSE) and chi-square (χ2) showed the best fit for every drying curve, proving to be an excellent tool for the prediction of drying time.


DUTTON, NATHAN T., M.A., March 2007, School of Telecommunications PARTICIPATORY QUITTING: QUITTING TEXTS AND WORLD OF WARCRAFT PLAYER CULTURE (84 pp.) Director of Thesis: Mia L. Consalvo In over a decade of scholarship on the subject scholars have focused on the creation and circulation of various kinds of fan-made texts as a central component of participatory culture. Scholars such as Henry Jenkins, T.L. Taylor, Nancy Baym, and Mia Consalvo have studied everything from fanfic, FILK, slash fiction, and fanzines to online forums, walkthroughs, machinima, and web comics – among many others – as evidence that media fans are both critical consumers and active producers of media content. In all of this work on participatory culture, however, quitting has so far been ignored. This project is a qualitative textual analysis of quitting in World of Warcraft player culture, specifically of the quitting texts that players create when they stop playing the game. My analysis reveals that quitting texts contain richness, depth, and diversity; they come in multiple forms, contain varied themes and practices, and are meaningful to the players that make and view them. As such, like other kinds of fan/player made texts quitting texts are an important element of participatory culture, and are key to understanding both media fandom and the player culture that gave rise to them.

Accumulating evidence has revealed intricate roles for a number of components of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) in the progression or alleviation of stress‐related disorders. Along these lines, the 'pro‐stress' actions of Angiotensin‐II are largely thought to be mediated by the angiotensin type‐1 receptor (AT1R). On the other hand, a counter regulatory limb of the RAS that depends on the conversion of Angiotensin‐II to Angiotensin‐(1‐7) by angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been postulated to exert stress‐dampening actions. We have previously found that stimulating this enzyme has potent anxiolytic and hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis dampening effects in male mice; however, the impact of stimulating this counter regulatory limb on stress‐related responses in females is yet to be explored. That being said, females are often considered to be more susceptible to stress‐related mood disorders, making it essential that novel therapeutic options for females are also uncovered. Therefore, in this set of studies, we tested the hypothesis that ACE2 has anxiolytic and endocrine stress‐dampening effects in female mice. We used the Cre/Lox system to generate female mice that ubiquitously overexpress ACE2. Female ACE2 knock‐in (ACEKI) mice and their wild‐type littermate controls were tested in the elevated‐plus maze (EPM) and open field maze (OFM) to evaluate the impact of the genetic manipulation on anxiety‐like behavior. Mice were then subjected to an acute 30 min restraint stress challenge and blood samples were collected for the evaluation of HPA axis reactivity. As expected, overexpression of ACE2 leads to elevated ACE2 expression and activity in all tissues examined (i.e., hypothalamus, pituitary, blood, and brain). In regards to anxiety‐like behavior, a statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) in time spent in the open arms was observed in the ACE2KI mice relative to controls, demonstrating an anxiolytic effect of ACE2 overexpression. Total distance traveled in the EPM and OFM were not different between the groups, indicating that the locomotor activity of the female mice is unchanged by ACE2 overexpression. Finally, ACE2KI female mice also exhibited significantly reduced HPA axis activity relative to their wild‐type littermate counterparts (p < 0.05). Collectively, the results indicate that augmenting ACE2 activity reduces stress reactivity and anxiety‐like behavior in female mice.


Geometric reasoning requires the skills of representing and defining quadrilaterals. In this paper, we are reporting on the results of an investigation into the ways students communicated their understanding of 2-dimensional geometric concepts using diagrams and keywords to describe quadrilaterals. The results showed that whenever Year 8 students used diagrams as part of their descriptions of shapes, mostly prototypical shapes were provided. Students also experienced difficulties discerning which properties could be used to define shapes. This paper provides insights into ways of analysing students' geometric reasoning.


Aiming at the linear and nonlinear friction characteristics that servo control system present, this paper brings up a novel identification approach, which decouples the servo system into a combination of a linear component and a nonlinear component in identification process. The system is converted to a structure which is a linear model plus a nonlinear feedback model. In order to avoid the effects of nonlinear friction and obtain the accurate model of linear component, two-set non-zero-crossing velocity square waves are used to excite the system response characteristics. The respective differences of the input and output signals of these two-set square waves are utilized as the identification signals to estimate the parameters of the linear model. Based on the obtained linear model of the system, the steady-state velocity outputs are used to determine the magnitudes of Coulomb friction. The results of simulation have proved the reliability of the model and the identification method.

In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) plate materials have become the most attractive class of candidate materials for a wide range of potential applications due to their unique structural characteristics and physicochemical properties. Starting from graphene, 2D plate materials have become a large family with many members and diverse categories. Especially in recent years, we have made some significant breakthroughs in the field of 2D materials. Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technology is an advanced technology for preparing ultrathin films with highly ordered molecules by using its unique dynamic interface in the preparation process, which can effectively control and adjust the film material with layered nanostructures. With the advancement of LB technology, different thin film materials need to be prepared to realize various functions. This paper summarizes the research progress and future perspectives of LB technology based on 2D materials.


Background: Diet is considered an important factor for bone health, but is composed of a wide variety of foods containing complex combinations of nutrients. Therefore we investigated the relationship between dietary patterns and fall-related fractures in the elderly. Methods: We designed a population-based prospective survey of 1178 elderly people in Japan in 2002. Dietary intake was assessed with a 75-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), from which dietary patterns were created by factor analysis from 27 food groups. The frequency of fall-related fracture was investigated based on insurance claim records from 2002 until 2006. The relationship between the incidence of fall-related fracture and modifiable factors, including dietary patterns, were examined. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to examine the relationships between dietary patterns and incidence of fall-related fracture with adjustment for age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI) and energy intake. Results: Among 877 participants who agreed to a 4 year follow-up, 28 suffered from a fall-related fracture. Three dietary patterns were identified: mainly vegetable, mainly meat and mainly traditional Japanese. The moderately confirmed (see statistical methods) groups with a Meat pattern showed a reduced risk of fall-related fracture (Hazard ratio = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.13 0.94) after adjustment for age, gender, BMI and energy intake. The Vegetable pattern showed a significant risk increase (Hazard ratio = 2.67, 95% CI = 1.03 6.90) after adjustment for age, gender and BMI. The Traditional Japanese pattern had no relationship to the risk of fall-related fracture. Conclusions: The results of this study have the potential to reduce fall-related fracture risk in elderly Japanese. The results should be interpreted in light of the overall low meat intake of the Japanese population. Background Fracture accidents in the elderly reduces their activity of daily life [1] and also increases mortality [2-4]. Diet is considered an important factor for the maintenance of bone health [5-7]. Many nutrients, not only calcium [8,9] and Vitamin D [10], but also phosphorus, vitamin K, strontium and magnesium [11,12], contribute to bone health Bone is a complex living tissue, however, and a wide spectrum of micronutrients also contribute to its maintenance. Moreover, diets are composed of a wide variety of foods containing complex combinations of nutrients. Therefore, surveys that examine a single nutrient in foods may not adequately account for complicated interactions and cumulative effects on human health. Tucker et al. [13] and Okubo et al. [14] categorized diets into dietary patterns in order to clarify the relationship between diet and bone mineral density (BMD). Tucker and colleagues reported that a diet with a high fruit and vegetable content appears to have a protective effect on BMD in males while high candy consumption may be associated with low BMD. Okubo et al. demon* Correspondence: firstname.lastname@example.com 3 Center for Asian Traditional Medicine, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine † Contributed equally Full list of author information is available at the end of the article © 2010 Monma et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Tucker and Okubo's observation, however, was not extended to look for associations between dietary patterns and fractures. There is no report investigating the relation of dietary patterns and fall-related fracture. Furthermore, the population studied by Okubo et al. was made up of pre-menopausal women. Though Tucker et al. studied an elderly population, the dietary habits of people from Western versus Asian countries are entirely different. As is well known, Japanese food is characterized by rice and soy bean products, and contains many types of fish, seafood and vegetables but only small amounts of meat or dairy products [15]. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the relationship between dietary patterns and fractures in elderly Japanese living in a suburb of Sendai, one of the largest cities in Northern Japan. Methods Study population Our study population consisted of elderly subjects living in the Tsurugaya area of Sendai, the largest city of Tohoku (North-eastern) district in Japan. At the time of the study in 2002, there were 2730 people aged over 70 years living in the area. We invited all of these people to participate in a comprehensive geriatric assessment of medical status of whom 1178 agreed to participate and provided written informed consent for a baseline assessment. Of these 1178, we excluded 213 subjects who did not agree to the follow up survey, 77 with incomplete dietary data and 11 whose cognitive level was lower than 18 in the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score [16]. Therefore, 877 participants whose medical status, activities of daily living (ADL), and life style, including dietary intakes, were assessed in July 2002 were followed up for their incidence of fall related fracture until the end of July 2006. Medical doctors (specializing in rehabilitation, exercise medicine and psychiatry), pharmacists, nurses, and kinesipathists assessed their baseline characteristics. Assessment of dietary intake The short version of a previously published self-administered food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) [17] was used for the present study. This included 75 food items with specified serving sizes that were described by natural portions or standard weight and volume measures of the servings commonly consumed in our study population. For each food item, participants indicated their mean frequency of consumption over the past year in terms of the specified serving size by checking 1 of the 7 frequency categories ranging from "almost never" to "2 or more times/d". Frequency data was converted to the gram intake as described previously [18]. The mean daily intake of nutrients was calculated using an ad hoc computer program developed to analyze the questionnaire. In the validity study of the present FFQ, the questionnaire provided close estimation of nutrients compared to the 3-day diet record [19]. Assessment of other variables In addition to diet, we investigated the following factors related to fractures according to a WHO report [20]: age, gender, BMI calculated as weight (kg)/height (m) squared, MMSE as a measure of cognitive function, the medical outcome study questionnaire (MOS) [21] for ADL, smoking, past falls, past history of apoplexy, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, renal disease and cancer. Also we investigated the use of stabilizers, hypnotics, steroids and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Anthropometric measurements i.e. height and body weight were recorded using a standard protocol. Alcohol consumption and use of supplements including calcium and multivitamins were assessed from the FFQ. Diagnosis of fracture The incidence and causes of any fractures were investigated based on insurance claim records from July 2002 until July 2006. Fracture data was available on all 877 participants including 39 subjects who had died in the follow-up period. All clinical records of patients with fractures were reviewed by a physician (R.N.). Cases involving traumatic fracture such as traffic accidents were included in the "Non fall-related fracture group". Statistical analysis Factor analysis was used to derive dietary patterns and to determine factor loadings for each of the 27 food subgroups. Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed variables in terms of fewer unobserved variables called factors [22]. Factors were rotated with varimax rotation to maintain uncorrelated factors and enhance interpretability. Dietary patterns were named according to the nature of the food groups loading highest for each of the factors. For each pattern and each participant, we calculated a factor score by summing the consumption of each food item weighted by its factor loading [18]. The subjects were divided into tertiles according to the factor score as follows: unconfirmed (the first tertile: T1), moderately confirmed (the second tertile: T2) and confirmed (the third tertile: T3) according to the factor score of each dietary pattern. A simple logistical regression model was used to examine the relationships between the risk of fall-related fracture and general characteristics. Sample characteristics for T1, T2 and T3 in each dietary pattern were statistically analyzed using the parametric test. The Cox proporMonma et al.

Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CIs were calculated. The probabilities of being fracture free were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. Fracture free numbers were calculated from the date of enrolment to the date of fracture onset, or cut-off date for participants alive at the time of closure of the dataset. A significant difference was defined as p < 0.05. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Analysis System 9.1 edition for WINDOWS (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC) Ethics The Institutional Review Board of Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine approved the protocol of the study.

Recent observations have suggested that flickering aurora is produced by a modulation of the field-aligned component of the electron flux within an auroral arc. It is proposed that a portion of the field-aligned electrons are of ionospheric origin and that these electrons are accelerated and their flux modulated by electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves that occur below the main acceleration region on auroral arc field lines. A model of the electromagnetic ion cyclotron wave shows that the parallel phase velocity of the wave increases as the wave propagates toward the ionosphere. A test particle calculation shows that ionospheric electrons trapped or reflected by the wave are accelerated to energies of several keV and that their flux is modulated at the wave frequency. The relative amplitudes of the model wave electric fields are consistent with the observations of small-scale low-frequency ionospheric and magnetospheric electric fields near auroral arcs of approximately 10 mV/m and 100 mV/m, respectively. The large-amplitude ion cyclotron waves also produce a ponderomotive force and a self-consistent ambipolar electric field. Energy considerations show that the downward energy flux in the electromagnetic ion cyclotron wave can be several percent of the total downward auroral electron energy flux.
