Cancer is a disease in wh ich cells grow abnormally in a group, uncontrollably deviating from the normal rules of cell division. It is regarded as the leading cause of death in economically developed countries and the second leading cause in developing countries. Cancer rates in In dia are lower than those seen in western countries, owing to the diverse populations and diets. The rate of colorectal, prostate and lung cancer in India are one of the lowest. Prevention of diseases through healthy diet and eating habits has been recogniz ed in various mythological books. Turmeric or curcumin which is a common ingredient in the Indian curries has shown anti - oxi dant and anti - inflammatory action, which helps it to act as a chemo - pr otective agent . The role of curcumin includes inhibition at mu ltiple levels of several cell signaling pathways. The use of turmeric in Indian dishes could be a reason for low cancer rates; hence turmeric can be included in diet to prevent the development of tumor.


The Internet platform has created many employment opportunities, but the employment model is different from the traditional model, and the characteristics of the labor relationship of employed Internet platform workers have changed. However, the current law has limitations on the definition of labor relations for Internet platform employees, and it is difficult to provide standards for defining new types of employment. This article considers the construction of labor subject and subordinate attributes to realize the reconstruction of labor relationship. Due to the maturity of information technology, the employment of Internet platforms has become possible. Internet platform employment has thus created a new type of labor relationship. As a new type of employment mode that is different from the traditional one, the definition of labor relations is accompanied by disputes. It is difficult for workers to protect their own interests like the traditional employment mode. Therefore, it is necessary to study the definition of labor relations. 1. Define the Meaning of Labor Relations To resolve the labor dispute cases, we must first define the labor relationship. If there is no labor relationship, it also shows that it is not applicable to the protection of labor lawful rights and interests. No matter what kind of labor relationship, the workers are mostly in a disadvantaged position. The remuneration of workers is related to the protection of workers 'rights and interests, especially the compensation for work injury cases reflects the protection of workers' right to life. In the event of labor rights claims, employers will take a negative attitude toward labor relations in order to reduce economic expenditure, so defining labor relations is the basis for the protection of vulnerable laborers. The "Labor Law" shows a certain tilt to vulnerable workers. In addition, defining labor relations and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers are of great significance for maintaining normal labor relations. 2. Characteristics of Labor Relations on the Internet Platform Due to the development of society, the advancement of science and technology, and the diversification of social division of labor, the labor relations have become more complicated. Judicial practice has difficulty in defining labor relations. Labor relations are manifested as equality, subordination, and personality. Equality is based on the willingness to cooperate established by the contract. Workers provide labor to the employer according to their own wishes, and the employer selects labor according to their wishes. Personality, laborers provide labor, but labor ownership and use rights are separated, but labor cannot be separated from laborers themselves. Laborers embody personal specificity in labor relations. Personal specificity does not change with the employment mode. From the attribute expression to the essential characteristics of labor relations. The judgment of labor relations is through the subordinate attributes. There are subordinate relationships in the large-scale social production, the division of labor, and the labor-employment relationship. "Subordinate" is divided into "personal subordination" and "economic subordination". Personality is reflected in the fact that the employer can incorporate labor into the organization and agree on the method, amount and scope of labor payment. The laborer is placed under control, the laborer's body is controlled, and labor dominance is expressed as the laborer's personal control. Workers are penalized when they hinder business operations. The 2020 Conference on Social Science and Modern Science (SSMS2020) DOI: 10.38007/Proceedings.0000790 ISBN: 978-1-80052-004-2 -507subordinate nature of the economy indicates that workers do not have productive capital, and that income is earned by labor payment. The economy depends on the employer. The new employment mode established by the Internet platform has changed the traditional personality subordination and economic dependency. The personality subordination is blurred, which promotes the freedom and independence of workers. The economy has become vague in nature, and laborers provide services based on platform information, and become economically interdependent instead of the traditional simple dependence. The change of attribute characteristics makes it difficult to define labor relations, and labor relations are limited in judicial practice. 3. The Current Theory of Defining Labor Relations The definition of labor relations should be combined with the subject and characteristics of labor. However, the current domestic law lacks clear provisions on labor relations. From the Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law, it can be seen that labor law only uses labor subjects to indicate labor relations. The definition of labor subjects is based on the employer. Combining with the characteristics of labor relations, laborers also lack definition standards. The definition of labor relations is a bit vague. It is difficult to accurately define labor relations by applying laws, and it is difficult to handle labor disputes. China's judicial interpretation of labor relations is more in line with the nature of labor relations and more operable. For example, the "Notice on Establishing Labor Relations" has been generally followed by judicial practice, but the subject of labor still lacks a clear definition. Although the nature of labor relations is reflected, there are still difficulties in practice. For example, whether workers with a high degree of freedom are included in the ranks of workers involves issues of attributes and under what conditions are considered workers. It is also difficult to define the business scope of the employer, if the service of the laborer is not the main business of the employer. For example, in order to relax the employees, they hire entertainment workers to perform specifically for the employees. Although they are bound by the employees, are they considered as lack of defined standards for the workers. The subordinate nature of labor relations is to facilitate judicial operations. It is necessary to reflect the nature of labor relations. The defined labor relations have limitations and are difficult to meet the current social development. The new mode of employment produced by the Internet platform has legislative ambiguity and its limitations are difficult to apply to judicial practice. The definition of labor relations must be made clear. It is difficult to refuse the adjudication in judicial practice, and it is necessary to use the legal interpretation to clarify the defining standards. The trial of new cases has the difficulty of applying laws. Domestic academic circles mostly define the theory of labor relations based on the civil law system. But the Anglo-American legal system is of significance for the definition of labor relations. The labor relations in Anglo-American law countries are expressed as employment relations, and a method of defining labor relations is formed based on following the jurisprudence. In the jurisprudence, the United States has formed the "economic reality standard", which confirms the identity of the employer and employee to define the employment relationship. The United States recognizes the status of employers and employees as a comprehensive consideration, combining employers' control over employees. The definition model has strong practical value in practice. Therefore, labor disputes on China's network platform have the following characteristics: Mostly in the first, the judge in the case does not accept employment of labor relationship in the network platform, only part of the case is clear of labor relations, only individual case decided that the two sides have taken place in the employment relationship, part of the case the judge denied labor relations, does not admit the existence of employment relationship, some judges have shied away from the legal relationship between platform with the workers.


Objective To investigate the protein wasting and energy reserve in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients undergoing maintaining hemodialysis (HD) at different ages.Methods A total of 129 CRF patients (62 men and 67 women) aged (56.33 ± 14.14) years on HD were enrolled in this study.They were divided into four age groups:below 40,40-69,60-69,and over 70 years.Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI),normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR),and biochemical parameters including pre-albumin,cholesterol,and creatinine.Body composition was tested with multi-frequency bioelectric impedance analysis.Meanwhile,83 healthy subjects,matched for age and sex,were enrolled as controls.Results BMI showed no significant difference between healthy controls and HD patients.Among HD patients,38% had an BMI higher than the normal high limit and 6.2% had a BMI less than 18.5kg/m2 ; patients with a low body weight accounted for 0,6.2%,4.8%,and 11.1% in the <40 years group,40-59 years group,60-69 years group,and above 70 years groups,respectively.nPCR in the above 70 years group was ( 1.46 ±0.28) g/( kg·d),which was significantly lower than that in the 40-59 years group [ (1.54 ±0.28) g/( kg·d) ; P =0.004) ; the serum creatinine in the the above 70 years group was (834.08 ± 184.96) μmol/L,which was significantly lower than that in 40-59 years group [ (976.24 ± 186.86) μmol/l ] ( P=0.037) ; the prealbumin in the the above 70 years group was (272.65 ±79.78) mg/L,which was significantly lower than that in 40-59 year group [ (332.07 ± 73.03 ) mg/L] ( P =0.026).Body cell mass in HD patients was (22.81 ±8.12) kg,which was significantly lower than that in the control group [ (29.95 ±6.73) kg] (P<0.001) ; furthermore,the lean tissue mass (LTM) [ (40.16±11.90) kg vs.(47.22 ±9.84) kg] and fat [ (17.45± 8.83)vs.(13.66±7.28) kg] were also significantly lower (both P=0.001 ).The lean tissue indicators in the below 40 years group were also significantly lower than those in the healthy controls ( P =0.012).For the fat tissue ingredients,the below 40 years group ( P =0.013 ) and over 70 years group (P =0.039) showed significant differences with the controls,while the 60-69 years group (P =0.191 ) showed no such difference.Conclusions Nutritional status is different among HD patients at different ages.HD patients below 40 years and abover 70 years are more susceptible to malnutrition.Although BMI shows no difference with the normal subjects,protein wasting and increased fat tissue storage do exist in HD patients.The nutrition changes are slightest in 40-59 years old and much severer in over 70 years old patients.

Abstract. Several "abuse scandals" in schools and boarding schools in different countries encouraged victims of abuse to disclose their experiences. The dark field of sexual abuse in population based representative samples is high all over Europe. More than 10% of the population report any form of sexual abuse. Contact points for children and adolescents that are open to talk about sexual abuse as well as reliable contact persons for victims are indispensable. This paper aims to discuss the importance of school as a place of facilitation, participation and resilience. A representative German sample was surveyed regarding questions whether child sexual abuse needs more discussion in society and institutions of children and adolescents. Data of the help line of the Independent Commissioner for Child Sexual Abuse Issues revealed statements of victims as well as of professionals regarding experiences with support in school. Results show that parents consider institutions of children and adolescents to be appropriate places to discuss sexual abuse. However, victims report that sexual abuse was rarely discussed in school and their distress and needs were often not seen; concurrently, victims would have wished for ongoing interest of the teachers. Statements of victims and professionals reveal that professionals working in school context are often overstrained and insecure about the reaction to sexual abuse. More training for teachers and other educational professionals is needed. In a time of general digitalization, E-learning courses are a cost-effective, low-threshold and in-depth approach in professional training.

Width-/spl omega/ non-adjacent form (/spl omega/NAF) representation is commonly used in elliptic curve cryptography to speed up multiplication. However, conversion of an integer to its /spl omega/NAF representation can be quite costly, especially from a hardware point of view. This paper proposes a method to generate an integer directly in its /spl omega/NAF representation. A hardware implementation is also proposed.


The first authentic description of a case of retroperitoneal tumour is ascribed to Morgagni in 1761. Since that time only 82 cases of retroperitoneal teratomata have been published in the literature. These tumours lying preaxially must be regarded as pathological manifestations of a physiological process (Nicholson, 1929). Although all three germinal layers are present in teratomata, there is no segregation of tissues. The old theory that these tumours resembled a twin foetus enclosed in another twin is no longer valid although teratoma and host lead an asymbiotic existence. As they contain all three embryonic layers in no standard pattern they must be present at an early stage of foetal development, and further, as they are extraperitoneal and in the region of the primitive mesentery, retroperitoneal teratomata are in a nidal state before the peritoneum is evolved (Willis, 1935). In the case presented, all somatic tissue elements were present but no regional segregation of tissues was observed and at operation the mesenteric relationship of the tumour was clearly defined. Spemann (1938) elaborated the theory that primary organizers influenced the embryonic tissues and stated that cells escaping their action are derivatives of or related to the invaginating primitive streak, and thus as teratomata arise in a median or paramedian location they may escape organizer influence. This theory furthers the view now generally accepted that teratomata are not incomplete foetuses but derangements of development arising during the pre-somite stage.

Particle breakage occurs in granular soil-structure interface zones in different soil-structure interaction (SSI) systems under cyclic loading, and it largely affects the performance of these structures. The effect of particle breakage on mechanical behavior of granular soil-structure interfaces should be taken into account in an interface constitutive model for accurate simulating the SSI problems with critical interfaces. In this study, the effect of particle breakage on the mechanics of granular soil-structure interface is presented. An approach is then proposed to improve an elasto-plastic interface constitutive models to be capable of simulating particle breakage under shear loads. The effectiveness of the approach is evaluated using an interface constitutive model to predict the volumetric behavior of a granular soil-structure interface under different stress path. The model predictions are then compared with experimental observations. It is illustrated that the particle breakage has significant effect on the compressibility behavior of the granular soil-structure interface, and it can be well addressed within the constitutive formulations of an interface plasticity model.

In this work, we present a curl-curl formulation for computing the electromagnetic modes that propagate in a waveguide, fully or partially made with magneto-optic material. Such medium is characterized by a nonreciprocal permittivity tensor, which is responsible for a different propagation constant for the forward and backward traveling modes. By exploiting this property, an optical integrated isolator can be effectively designed and optimized. Finally, a detailed analysis based on the proposed finite element mode solver is performed to investigate the fabrication tolerance of the nonreciprocal waveguide.

February 1, 2019 • Volume 12 • Number 3 cases-anesthesia-analgesia.org 85 Copyright © 2018 International Anesthesia Research Society DOI: 10.1213/XAA.0000000000000870 An asymptomatic 50-year-old woman was known for a cardiac murmur since childhood. A transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed after she received chemotherapy for breast cancer. TTE revealed a left ventricular ejection fraction of 65% and a doublechambered right ventricle (DCRV) with an intracavitary peak gradient of 127 mm Hg and a mean of 73 mm Hg. A perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) with left to right shunt and mild aortic regurgitation was also noted (Supplemental Digital Content 1, Video 1, http://links.lww. com/AACR/A213). Preoperative cardiac catheterization revealed a 90% stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery and a peak systolic pressure gradient of 60 mm Hg from the right ventricular (RV) apex to the RV outflow tract (RVOT; RV apex pressure, 93 mm Hg, RVOT pressure, 33 mm Hg) with a pulmonary-to-systemic shunt ratio of 1.6. Written informed consent for publication was obtained from the patient. The patient was scheduled for elective resection of the obstructing muscular bundle in the RVOT, closure of the VSD, and coronary artery bypass grafting of the left anterior descending. An intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed. RVOT obstruction with notable thickening of the RV anterior and septal walls was clearly identified on midesophageal 4-chamber view and the RV inflow and outflow view (Figure 1). The upper esophageal aortic arch short-axis view demonstrated a normal functioning pulmonic valve with accelerated flow in the RVOT (Supplemental Digital Content 2, Video 2, http:// links.lww.com/AACR/A214). The peak and mean gradient across the RVOT obstruction was 108 and 68 mm Hg, respectively (Figure 2). An 8to 10-mm perimembranous VSD was also confirmed (Figure 3). RV was mildly hypertrophic with normal systolic function. There were mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild aortic insufficiency. After extensive muscular resection, no significant obstruction was seen across the RVOT despite some residual muscle thickening noted on the septal wall (Supplemental Digital Content 3, Video 3, http://links.lww.com/AACR/A215). Direct pressure measurement obtained with a transduced needle inserted into the RV, proximal to the obstruction, demonstrated a systolic pressure of 40 mm Hg which was significantly lower than the pressure obtained preoperatively by right heart catheterization (93 mm Hg). TEE Doppler measurement showed a peak and mean gradient across the RVOT of 14 and 9 mm Hg. The small VSD was repaired. It was located below the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve connecting to the proximal high-pressure RV chamber. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course with TTE done 4 months later showing no residual obstruction.


Stable hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to the yellow strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-Y) were produced by fusing spleen cells of immunized BALB/c mice and mouse myeloma cell line P3-X63-Ag8-U1 (P3U1). Some of them were used to produce MAbs in ascitic fluid and their respective properties were characterized. Six out of seven MAbs in ascitic fluid reacted strongly with CMV-Y (Y serotype) and CMV-Z (P serotype). In contrast, one MAb reacted strongly with homologous strain and much more weakly with CMV-Z. The MAb which exhibits high activity and a wide spectrum of reactivity was conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. A comparison for the detection efficiency and sensitivity with MAb and rabbit polyclonal antibody (PAb) conjugates was made in DAS ELISA. The MAb conjugate could be used at higher dilutions (up to 8-fold) without loss of specific activity than that made with PAb. The efficiency and sensitivity for virus detection with MAb conjugate were superior to those with PAb. Also, DAS ELISA with MAb conjugate could detect efficiently heterologous serotype with higher ELISA values than those with PAb.


Abstract : Large oceanographic data bases are valuable for many applications: climatological estimates of surface and subsurface temperatures, heat content, layer depths, currents (via geostrophy), and frontal locations. Such estimates are useful for describing and comparing ocean regions, priming numerical models, and editing or calculating anomalies from present observations. The Master Oceanographic Observations Data Set (MOODS) contains 3.5 million data observations. The data, which include temperature and salinity profiles, are edited during updates, but this editing has been very superficial and allows for erroneous values. This editor attempts to ferret out the bad data by checking for oceanographic observations that are over land, above the sea surface, below the sea bottom; that have nonmonotonic, duplicate, or negative depths; that contain impossible or all-zero temperatures or salinities; that produce temperature or density inversions; that are misplaced either by location or by season; or that are duplicates. For four MOODS test sets (two Atlantic and two Pacific), the total rejection rate ranged 17-39%. Of these rejections, 9-16% were already flagged during update editing, 1-8% were rejected because of inversions and wild values, and 7-17% were duplicate and misplaced profiles.

The polarization and strain responses in ferroelectric materials are non-linear and hysteretic. A number of mathematical and phenomenological approaches have been used to describe and quantify this behavior. In order to fully describe this response dielectric and piezoelectric coefficients must include real and imaginary components and suitable non-linear terms. The Rayleigh Law has been shown to provide a suitable description of the non-linear dielectric and piezoelectric response in bulk, single crystal, and thin film piezoelectrics. It has also been shown to be mathematically consistent with physical models for domain wall motion. The Rayleigh Law fitting of the polarization-field and strain-field hysteresis loops at subswitching fields (E<1/2EC) provides a straightforward and compact approach to quantify of this complex response. The coefficients obtained from this analysis can be applied to quantify variations in extrinsic domain-wall response.

The government is not only responsible for the establishment of Islamic values and norms in the society ,but also in economic matters such as fulfillment of basic needs, achieving full employment, price stability and low inflation, growth and development that lead to economic well being and welfare.  T o achieve that goal, the government certainly needs an appropriate policy to direct the economy into desired goal and direction.One of the policies is monetary policy .Monetary policy refers to the control of the supply of money to achieve and accomplish manageable inflation,price stability ,full employment and steady growth in the economy. This research tries to investigate the role of monetary policy and its implication on economic development in an Islamic perspective conceptually and theoretically. It found that the role of monetary policy is the same as that in modern economy, except that in Islamic economy ,the role of government is to ensure the Islamic values and nor ms to prevail in the society including the establishment of free interest economy and Islamic financial system that is free from interest based. The instruments of monetary policy in an Islamic perspective are not only confined in using open market operation, reserve ratio, discount rate, but also beyond those tools such as credit rationing, lending ratio and profit ratio which are based on the Islamic principles of interest free based economy.


This paper proposes a new usage of big data for solving optimization problems under uncertainties. Chance Constrained Problem (CCP) is formulated by using big data. In order to evaluate probabilistic constraints in CCP from big data, a new stratified sampling technique called Weighted Stratified Sampling (WSS) is proposed. Then a group-based adaptive differential evolution called JADE2G is combined with WSS and applied to CCP. The proposed optimization method is demonstrated through two types of CCPs, namely Joint CCP (JCCP) and Separate CCP (SCCP).


In a continuous‐time model of a complete information economy, we examine the case of a "pure" speculator who chooses to trade only on forward or futures contracts written on interest‐rate‐sensitive instruments. Assuming logarithmic utility, we assess whether his strategy exhibits the same structure as when he uses primitive assets only. It turns out that when interest rates follow stochastic processes, as in the model of Heath, Jarrow, and Morton (1992), where the instantaneous forward rate is driven by an arbitrary number of factors, the speculative trading strategy involving forwards exhibits an extra term vis‐a‐vis the one using futures or primitive assets. This extra term, different from a Merton–Breeden dynamic hedge, is novel and can be interpreted as a hedge against an "endogenous risk," namely the interest‐rate risk brought about by the optimal trading strategy itself. Thus, only the strategy using futures (or the cash assets themselves) involves a single speculative term, even for the Bernoulli speculator. This result illustrates another major aspect of the marking to market feature that differentiates futures and forwards, and thus has some bearing on the issue of the optimal design of financial contracts. Real financial markets being, in fact, incomplete, the additional "endogenous" risk associated with forwards cannot be hedged perfectly. Since using futures eliminates the latter, risk‐averse agents will find them attractive in relation to forward contracts, other things being equal. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

"Utopia Station" is complicated. Writing about the project produces a necessarily partial and fragmented account due to the mass of meetings and discussions, both formal and informal that have surrounded its various manifestations. In relation to the decision to avoid personal projects in this book, things are further problematised by my involvement in "Utopia Station", which means that this text should exclude itself from consideration from publication. Yet the implicated role of the artist within the curatorial structure and vice versa, combined with the peculiar nature of "Utopia Station", as an extremely inclusive and promiscuous event means that hopefully it should be considered a special case here. I also find it difficult to accept the validity of approaching a book such as this without addressing the involved role of the artist in something concrete yet still soft, where people are unsure of their rotes and their level of authorship, especially when the approach to the project has been marked by scepticism and enthusiasm at all stages, even from those at the centre of the discussion. For "Utopia Station", organised by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Molly Nesbit and Rirkrit Tiravanija, was not a singular event nor did it develop as a precisely realisable concept. Here I will outline the origins of the project, reproduce an edited version of my sceptical intervention in the first formal discussions around the exercise and follow up with a review of the potential of "Utopia Station" as something "in progress" and dislocated from the multiple moments of inception to the final intense semi-private arguments surrounding the idea to take the project to the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre in 2005. These discussions arguably became the most productive aspect of the whole project for me up to that point. While I will not go into detail about the various manifestations of the project at the 50", Venice Biennale and the Haus der Kunst in Munich as these have been described and written about extensively elsewhere with all the usual misattributions and misunderstandings it is crucial to understand these key moments as the enabling structures that could lead to such productive follow-up dispute and potential. I will use this opportunity to broadly outline the genealogy of the project from a partial and personal perspective and combine this with critical comments coming from a position of both insider and outsider simultaneously. Hopefully, in the future, this will be joined by further narratives around "Utopia Station", that will inevitably offer some complete inversions of the account here. For it is the following-up aspect of the project that renders it special in relation to the tendency for the culture to produce "re-makes" rather than "episodic" approaches to structures whether they be the Venice Biennale or an improvised project in Brooklyn. With "Utopia Station" we return to the construction again and again. The problems and questions circulate and dissolve, condense and re-emerge. It is easier to organise projects that have one moment of exposure and no developed sense of post-production reassessment. It is the ongoing reassessment of "Utopia Station" built into its structure that renders It relevant for consideration here.


Nonlinear optical properties of dense excitonic systems in ZnSe-${\mathrm{Zn}}_{\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Mg}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{S}}_{\mathit{y}}$${\mathrm{Se}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{y}}$ single quantum wells have been studied by means of time-resolved nonlinear luminescence spectroscopy, based on an excitation correlation technique. The enhancement in luminescence efficiency of biexcitons was clearly observed in a time-correlation trace of nonlinear biexciton luminescence. The origin of the enhancement was attributed to the stimulation of biexciton luminescence.


A characteristic feature of the Arctic climate is negative temperatures. They have a negative impact on the condition of the equipment. The engine is the least adapted unit for the use in such conditions. The lubrication system of the engine undergoes significant state changes. The changes include the reduction of the operational properties of engine oils and the formation of buttery sediments, which block the grids of oil receivers, oil filters and violate the permeability of oil lines. The factor of watering in low-temperature sedimentation is of paramount importance. The water in the crankcase is formed as a result of condensation processes when operating at low temperature.


We consider one non-real-time (NRT) and N realtime (RT) cellular users interested in downloading delay-tolerant and delay-sensitive packets from the base station (BS), respectively. Each RT packet is a multicast packet and RT user i is satisfied if more than qi% of the data is received before the deadline. At each slot, one of the RT users is allowed to retransmit the data it has received from the BS to its RT neighbors. This reduces the load on the BS but causes interference to the NRT user. The problem is formulated as a joint scheduling and rate-allocation problem. We present a throughput-optimal algorithm that maximizes the NRT rate in this system under interference. Our simulations show that, in high density networks, increasing the number of RT users N in the system improves the NRT user's throughput due to the multi-user diversity effect. We also show that, in low density networks, the throughput is maximized at an optimal value of N.


Abstract Microbial adhesion to host tissue represents the first step in an infection process and is a potential target for the development of new antimicrobial agents. Our laboratory has focused on the molecular mechanisms of microbial adhesion to host extracellular matrix components that involve specific bacterial surface proteins, adhesins that interact with distinct sites on host ECM molecules. BIAcore is one of the techniques we use to characterize these interactions. In this communication we describe the use of BlAcore to (a) determine the binding constants and specificity of different forms of a recombinant collagen adhesin that all contain the active site but vary in amount of flanking sequence and (b) compare the ligand-binding kinetics of recombinant active sites of four fibronectin-binding adhesins from different bacteria.


The large in kind scope of the elliptical superconducting RF linac of the ESS implies the handling of the handover conditions between the cavities fabrication and testing phases performed at INFN and STFC, to the assembly of cryomodules at CEA, and later to ESS in Lund. The performance qualification at the module test stand, and later the commissioning and operation phases, require the availability of the cavity performance and frequency data under all environmental conditions during preparation (e.g. temperature, vacuum in beam line/He vessel/vacuum vessel, tuner state). Availability of the data needs to be guaranteed for the long term maintainability of the accelerator. For these reasons a cavity database has been set up at ESS, integrating the data contained in the handover documentation from the in kind partners and extending it during the activities at ESS after receiving the modules. The database was used to analyse the preparation steps of the prototype demonstrator cryomodule for the tests at ESS, by benchmarking with the data collected during the tests at CEA, and is currently used during the series cavities handover phases. MOTIVATION FOR A DATABASE Cavities for the ESS superconducting accelerator are provided by the project in kind partners. Cavities for the medium beta elliptical section are procured by INFN/LASA and those for the high beta section by STFC/Daresbury. Both partners rely on experienced industrial vendors for the fabrication and treatment processes. The medium beta series cavity production is well advanced [1, 2], and the high beta series is in its starting phase [3]. Cryomodule assembly is performed at CEA Saclay, which receives the RF resonators from the cavity in kind contributors after the successful qualification in near-critical RF coupling conditions in a vertical cryostat at 2 K. ESS is responsible for the cavity acceptance according to the project specifications, after fabrication and testing, to supervise the handover conditions between partners, and to authorize the cavities for the installation into the module string. Conditions have been agreed between ESS, the cavity producers and CEA, documenting the mechanical interfaces and describing the shipment configurations and vacuum requirements during handover, and any discrepancy is addressed with Non Conformity Reports. (NCRs), discussed and resolved on a case-by-case base. In addition to the mechanical interfaces, the cavity frequency is controlled at several points in the lifecycle, and the measured data transferred to ESS, to be stored in the database. Data transfer During Cavity/module Lifecycle The main phases of the cavity and module lifecycle are resumed in Table 1, with the list of data required to provide for storage in the ESS Cavity DB. Table 1: Data Required for the DB at Handover Phases Phase Data Cavity fabrication Outgoing from cavity partners to CEA  Reference cavity bandwidth at warm, in free conditions, in air  Field flatness profile  Warm HOM spectra  Cold bandwidth  Cold HOM spectra during vertical test  Q vs Eacc curve from vertical test  Cavity bandwidth before shipment to CEA, in vacuum and with tuner fixing clamps  Calibrated transmission of  mode Incoming inspection at CEA  Cavity bandwidth at reception  Calibrated transmission of  mode Module assembly Module outgoing inspection from CEA  Cavity bandwidth with tuner and coupler installed, in vacuum, warm Module incoming inspection at ESS  Cavity bandwidth at reception Handover Frequency Related Criteria Data produced in the first phase is used for the acceptance of the cavity before its installation in a module at CEA, in addition to the interface verification. In particular, the following conditions should be satisfied:  the cavity  mode frequency needs to fulfil the agreed range at warm in free condition, in air, to guarantee the achievement of the correct minimal mechanical preload on the tuner and to avoid occurrence of plastic deformations during tuning,  the performances shown by the Q vs E curve needs to exceed the gradient and Q requirements of the ESS design, ___________________________________________ † firstname.lastname@example.com 19th Int.

This article addresses service marketing and service delivery over the Internet. Some service activities – information, education and entertainment – can be delivered as well as promoted over the Internet. An empirical study focusing on museums has been carried out. The purpose has been to describe the current use of the Internet by Swedish museums and propose some strategies with regard to its value as a service delivery tool. The 371 Swedish museums that have a homepage have been examined. Of these, 156 museums operate their own Web site. The study has consisted of a content analysis of the sites as well as a questionnaire study and two preliminary in‐depth interviews. A cluster analysis was carried out, resulting in four groups being defined. It is found that the use of the Internet is still in its infancy. Three strategies for Internet service delivery are proposed.


In an effort to increase response rates and control survey costs, survey designers have come to increasingly consider mixed mode survey designs. The literature suggests that mode equivalence can be maximized through attention to instrument design and careful implementation of survey protocol (e.g., Martin, et al, 2007). However, the impact of differential administration by mode is less clear for ongoing data collection efforts that are primarily designed for a single mode of administration, where alternative modes have emerged over time upon respondent request (e.g., by telephone instead of personal visit). This is the case for the Consumer Expenditures (CE) Quarterly Interview Survey, a personal visit household survey with a non-ignorable percentage of cases interviewed by telephone. This paper draws on four years of data to assess variation in mode of administration and evaluate the size of mode effects in key survey estimates. The results of the study suggest that mode itself matters less than does the respondent behavior typically associated with mode. While telephone interviewing may impact the quality of CE data collected relative to that of personal visit interviewing, we find clear steps that can be undertaken to maximize mode equivalence and minimize mode effects.


A performance estimation technique for induction motor from generally available measured data under running condition is proposed in this paper. This proposed technique is capable of predicting the motor performance data which emulates the recorded values. The proposed scheme estimates the variation of equivalent circuit parameters under different load conditions. Constant and variable motor losses were also estimated and compared with the measured values. Consideration of motor dynamic model also enables speed estimation of induction motor which makes this scheme capable of using in conjunction with different speed control technique available for sensor less condition monitoring and speed control.


Certain extremely successful popular culture contents may convey democratic values that can have an impact on the political views of readers and fans. The differences in the values of Harry Potter fans and average Facebook users using social data about public Facebook activity are examined. Even though currently only a minority share the values that the Harry Potter stories embody, they are still an important segment of society that one might not even be aware of if one only follows the state-controlled media and make up a significant majority of the Hungarian media market. Understanding this culturally constructed fan network is thus academically and socially relevant.


Ductility of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious concrete (HPFRCC) can be developed not only in tension but also in compression. This aspect is evidenced in this paper by comparing the behavior of HPFRCC cylindrical specimens under uniaxial compression, with the mechanical response of normal vibrated concrete (NC) and self-consolidating concrete (SCC) subjected to triaxial compression. The ductility of all the cement-based composites is computed through a nondimensional function that relates the inelastic displacement and the relative stress during softening. In the case of NC and SCC specimens, the results show that increasing the confining pressure results in an increase in fracture toughness. Conversely, the tests on HPFRCC specimens show that, even in the absence of confinement, HPFRCC can achieve practically the same ductility observed in normal and self-consolidating concretes with 1 MPa (0.15 ksi) of confining pressure. Thus, the presence of HPFRCC in compressed columns is sufficient to create an active distributed confinement.


Drug consultation is an important part of pharmaceutical care. mobile phone call or text message can serve as an easy, effective, and implementable alternative to improving medication adherence and clinical outcomes by providing the information needed significantly for people with chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension particularly during pandemics like COVID-19 pandemic.


Disorder is a constant theme in John Calvin's political work. Calvin describes politics as a chaotic arena, precariously held together by contending forces. However, few who write on Calvin recognize how disorder shapes his political reflections. Calvin analyzes disorder by tracing it to unfaithfulness, the failure to acknowledge God's goodness. Created in the image of God, human beings reject divine goodness ungratefully, plunging themselves into sin. In leaders, this unfaithfulness produces pride and mistrust which create conflict within and among political communities. In groups, unfaithfulness spawns cruelty, leading violent mobs to kill the innocent and denigrate the image of God. By exploring mob and political violence, Calvin draws attention to those forces sustaining order. Natural sensibilities, conscience, and divine providence restrain the worst excesses in human beings.


Multicopters have started to be easily obtained and widely used. Even many people are trying to build them by themselves. However, since a multicopter is a dynamical system with many parameters and many sensors on it, the proper controller PID tuning or correct matching of right propeller, weight, motor and battery is complete engineering problem and if a good multicopter in means of good stability and good "handling qualities" is wanted to be built than good understing of PID tuning, sensor reading and motors and propellers is necessary. In this study we aim to deeply analyze the flight and sensor performance of a multicopter mini unmanned vehicle.


The Pine Point lead-zinc mining property is located along the south shore of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The property covers an area of about 65 km (east-west) x 24 km (north-south). Lead-zinc mineralisation occurs within the relatively undisturbed Middle Devonian carbonate rocks of the Pine Point barrier complex and is of Mississippi Valley type. More than 40 individual ore bodies and about 75 million tons of ore were mined over the lifetime of the property (1964-1989). The ore bodies are associated with coarsely crystalline replacement dolomite, saddle dolomite cements, and bitumen. Pine Point is situated on the present-day eastern end of the Presqu'ile barrier. Further west, similar Middle Devonian dolomitized carbonates in the subsurface host significant quantities of natural gas. It has been suggested that the dolomitization is linked to the occurrence of bitumen and sour gas/sulphides through the process of thermochemical sulphate reduction (TSR). However, it should be noted that in some cases there is no apparent association of sour gas/sulphides with the dolomitization although the presence of bitumen does seem to be ubiquitous. The excellent sample control available at Pine Point provides a better opportunity to examine the evidence for processes such as TSR occurring in these Middle Devonian carbonates than is available from subsurface samples alone. The object of this presentation will be to review the role of the organic matter in the formation of the ore bodies and associated features at Pine Point and to assess what this indicates about the formation of sour gas and the creation of porosity in the subsurface. This will be achieved by reviewing previous data and presenting new results. The bitumens that the ore Pine Point show a wide


RNA tumor viruses apparently replicate through a DNA intermediate (provirus), a reaction catalyzed by the polymerase of these viruses, the so-called "reverse transcriptase." The viral genomic RNA is large (about 70S) and contains large tracts of poly A. These viruses can be induced by some halogenated pyrimidines from some non-producer cells. The induction of these viruses can be blocked by 3′-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin) but only at a very specific time (12 to 18 hours after induction). The mechanism of this block in induction may be due to interference with normal processing of the viral RNA after its transcription from proviral DNA, perhaps by blocking poly A formation. A reverse transcriptase is present in cytoplasmic particulate fractions from some patients with acute leukemia. This enzyme is very similar to the reverse transcriptase of viruses and may be viral in origin. Some criteria for its detection and features which distinguish it from major DNA polymerases of cells are reviewed. Some rationales and approaches for inhibition of viral replication are discussed.


In this book review, Gruenberg and Miller's book entitled "a practical guide to early childhood inclusion effective reflection" was reviewed. In the book preface, the authors indicate that there have dramatical changes in the field of special education and early childhood education during the past twenty-five years. Therefore, they focus on enduring and innovative practices in the inclusive programs and adaptations for children who are at risk or who have disabilities. The authors expected that this text will provide practical support to practitioners and teachers.


French missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that Korean language is truly different from Chinese language. Several researchers described that Persian words are similar to Korean words (Park et al, 2019; Kim and Park, 2022). And the present researcher tried to interpret eleven Persian words into Korean words. The present researcher used a Dictionary of Persian/French and French/Persian (Bau, 2008). The present researcher compared eleven Persian words with Korean words on their pronunciations. The researcher tried to find out the similar or the same Korean pronunciation for each of the Persian word. The title is 'Are they similar or are they same origin, Persian language and Korean language? (0085-0095)'. And the result was obtained as follows.  0085 Doroxshan (radiant, brilliant) Ddu-ryeos-han (distinct, clear) 0086 Sufi (man of beard) O-bba (older brother) 0087 Ba qasd e (to go to the journey) Baggas-e (outside, out of the place) 0088 Wahm (illusion) Bahm (the night) 0089 Molaqat kardan (official visit) Molae-gada (steal one's way, sneak) 0090 Shima (force) Shima (Oh power!) 0091 Alim (wise man or wise woman) Alim (notice, announcement) 0092 Awsat (middle level) Ossag (shivery, to get chills) 0093 Pix zadan (to find fault, criticize) Bbig-sari nada, Pig-sari nada (to do abnormal tune) 0094 Angoshtana (to make clothes) Ang-geo-seo teona or Ang-geo-seo teuna (to sit in order to open) 0095 Ba sorat (rapidly) Baro sso-a-ra! (shoot immediately, shoot now!) At this study for nine words, the relation between Persian language and Korean language was good. But two Persian words ('Molaqat kardan' and 'Awsat') were not well translated into Korean words.


Abstract This article sheds light on cybersecurity risk disclosure practices, offering explanations based on the corporate governance literature. We argue that cybersecurity risk management poses particular challenges for corporations due to amplified agency problems. Cybersecurity risks are increasing in number and growing in complexity for companies worldwide. The financial sector in the Benelux region was already digitalising rapidly when, in 2020, enhanced remote-working requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic further contributed to risk exposure. Substantiating our theoretical discussion, we present and discuss insights as to the most pressing cybersecurity risk management issues in the financial sector based on evidence from semi-structured interviews with Chief Information Security Officers/Chief Security Officers from financial sector leads in the Benelux region. We discuss contemporary factors that might induce management to dedicate more attention to cybersecurity. This apparent shift in companies' approaches regarding cybersecurity is likely to encounter obstacles and should not be expected to be an even and linear process, given the challenges of processing and communicating information in an environment featuring high uncertainty and technical complexity as well as potentially misaligned incentives.


In this study, we apply the local ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF) to the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) to develop the NICAM-LETKF. In addition, an algorithm to adaptively estimate the inflation parameter and the observational errors is introduced to the LETKF. The feasibility and stability of the NICAM-LETKF are investigated under the perfect model scenario. According to the results, we confirm that the converged analysis errors of the NICAM-LETKF are smaller than the observational errors, and the magnitude and distribution of the root mean square errors (RMSEs) are comparable to those of the ensemble spreads. In our experiments, we find that the inflation parameter is optimally tuned and the observational errors are close to the true value. It is concluded that the NICAM-LETKF works appropriately and stably under the perfect model scenario even if the inflation parameter and the observational errors are adaptively estimated within the LETKF.


Taking Taiyuan City of Shanxi Province as an example,the relationship between urbanization periods and land right protection of land-lost farmers in the districts and counties was analyzed.The results showed that the people engaged in agriculture were relatively less in the districts and counties with high-level urbanization,and land right of farmers was hardly damaged at this stage.The lower the urbanization level, the stronger the farmers' dependence on land.Hence,land right was urged to be protected.Finally,countermeasures on protecting land right of land-lost farmers were put forward.


The absence of any fixed infrastructure and mobility of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) make them attractive for usage in time-critical applications and collaborative computing. Recently MANETs are also used in real-time communications such as audio phone calls. In this paper, we investigate the performance of an outdoor stairs MANET test bed for different scenarios considering throughput and packet loss. We analyze the behavior of Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol. We design and implement two experimental scenarios: static scenario and moving scenario and draw conclusions regarding mobile communications with different number of hops.


Chronic hand eczema is frequent among atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. Due to the multifactorial causes of hand eczema, careful clinical and allergological examination is important for classification of the individual case, and hence for advice, treatment and preventive measures to be recommended. The importance of patient information and preventive strategies cannot be overemphasized.


Distributed architecture is widely used for storing and processing Big Data. Operations on Big Data need first,locating the required data blocks and then, read them. Reading data from secondary storage to process Big Data jobs is not an ideal approach especially for high performance applications. Because, the processors cannot access data faster if they are stored in secondary devices. In addition, fetching data from main memory is time consuming due to limited I/O bandwidth. Therefore, to optimize the application performance, it is not sufficient to have efficient algorithms only, an efficient architecture is needed to provide faster data access to the processors. The need for such an architecture has been a research issue for a long-time, however, the state-of-the-art is still missing one. This paper develops a promising architecture which caches data in main memory. It essentially transforms a main memory into a attraction memory which enables high-speed data access. Also, it enables automatic migration of data blocks and computations across the nodes contained in the clusters. It offers an exchange protocol for fast transfer of data blocks between the different physical nodes and speeds up job processing. The proposed architecture combines the power of Cache-Only Memory Architectures (COMAs) and the structural principle of Hadoop.


To the Editor.

I would like to question a recommendation in "The Management of Minor Closed Head Injury in Children" practice parameter by the AAP's Committee on Quality Improvement.1 In what is otherwise a very helpful compilation of the literature, the Committee recommends in the algorithm that fundoscopic examination be part of the neurologic examination of the child evaluated within 24 hours of head injury. I don't think that this recommendation is substantiated in any literature I could find published in English since 1970. My practice and teaching is that the performance of fundoscopy in acute head trauma is not warranted. An exception would be in the evaluation for "shaken baby syndrome."

The study by Steffen et al2 prospectively examined the discs of 37 patients with monitored elevated intracranial pressures. Only 9 of these were traumatically induced, …

Considering the attitude changing of phased array early warning aircraft based on the rigid body model, the mathematic model of aircraft crabbing was set up, and the influence of crabbing on clutter power spectrum and target echo amplitude was analyzed. Finally the probability of target detection was obtained in terms of various crabbing angles by simulation, which shows that crabbing exerts an obvious influence on the performance of target detection, and the performance is getting worse sharply when the crabbing angle exceeds a certain value.


This document describes the mBATCAN, a module and its 'BATsCAN' application firmware for reading out up to 128 B-sensors modules of the type equipped with a Maxim DS2405 chip with a 64-bit identifier used for module identification as well as a digital output for B-sensor on-board ADC selection. Communication with the module is achieved by means of the CANbus and the CANopen protocol.


This paper describes a fault detector that uses artificial neural networks (ANN). It represents the first step to the development of a neural distance relay for protecting transmission lines. We envisage the fault detection problem as a pattern classification process. Our suggested approach is based on the fact that when a fault occurs, a change in the system impedance takes place and, as a consequence, the current phase and amplitude change. The ANN-based fault detector is trained to detect this changes as indicators of the instant of fault inception. Results showing the performance of the fault detector are presented in the paper, indicating that it is fast, robust and accurate.


Strain localization in geological structures suggests that the ductile behavior of polyphase rocks at elevated temperatures and pressures in the Earth is sensitive to the relative proportions of minerals with different physical properties. I studied the strengthening effect of a varying fraction of non-deforming particles in a plastically deforming matrix through conventional triaxial deformation experiments on synthetic aggregates. Deformation experiments were performed on samples of a calcite matrix with 0%, 5% or 20% quartz particles. I evaluated the mechanical data collected during experiments in terms of existing mechanical mixing theories. Additional interpretation of data included assessment of microstructural observations of sample material before and after tests. The results of experiments conducted at 6000C and 200 MPa at a strain rate of 3x10' 5s" suggest that, under these conditions, the presence of relatively strong quartz particles strengthens the synthetic marble by enhancing strain hardening, through the development of local strain gradients around the strong particles. The magnitude of strengthening is greater than that predicted by existing models. 176 Introduction An accurate understanding of the rheology of earth materials is essential to the interpretation of major geological processes. The identification of features which control deformation, combined with the appropriate application of data and constitutive laws based on laboratory deformation experiments, can provide the critical link between individual geological formations and larger tectonic conditions and events (Schmid, 1982; Knipe, 1989; Groshong, 1989; Handy, 1990). To date, experiments have established the mechanical properties of common rock-forming minerals as single-crystals and in monomineralic aggregates (Evans and Kohlstedt, 1994). Several fine-grained natural rocks (Tullis,1990) and synthetic aggregates of naturally occurring minerals (Ross et al, 1987; Jordan, 1988; Peach,1991; Durham et al, 1992; Bruhn et al,1993) have also been tested. Because the great variety of polymineralic rocks of interest to earth scientists are complex multiphase aggregates, some method for assessing the interactions between minerals of differing mechanical properties is necessary. Relatively strong particles may have a large impact upon the rheology of many rocks with a more easily deformed matrix. Strength sensitivity to small variations in strong particle content could contribute to strain localization in rocks as observed in peridotites by Drury et al (1991). The strengthening effect of strong particles in aggregates has been adressed theoretically by materials scientists in terms of self-consistent models (i.e Chen and Argon, 1979; Tanaka et al, 1991; Poech and Fischmeister, 1992; Corbin and Wilkinson, 1994) which predict aspects of continuum mechanical behavior A second approach, dispersion hardening theory, integrates evidence from microstructural features with the bulk mechanical properties of the aggregate, in order to assess evolution of strain, dislocation density and strength (Ashby, 1970; Humphreys and Kalu, 1987, 1990). 177 We have chosen to investigate the strengthening effect of varying volume fractions of quartz particles in marble. This material has the advantages of geological relevance and a large strength contrast between well-characterized phases. For our experiments, finegrained synthetic aggregates of quartz and calcite were fabricated. A recent study by Dresen and Evans (1993) demonstrated the pressure sensitivity of similar materials at 300K. For the present study, samples were tested for their mechanical properties at dry conditions at temperatures just above the transition from brittle to plastic deformation, where chemical interactions between phases could be neglected. Characteristics of stress/strain data and microstructural analysis allow us to make preliminary comparisons of our results with predictions based on theory. These comparisons allow us to identify features which are likely to be critical to the aggregate mechanical properties of marble. 178 Experimental materials and methods In order to evaluate the effect of varying quartz content on the mechanical properties of the synthetic marble, we produced three sample materials: pure calcite; calcite with 5% quartz (IRE series); calcite with 20% quartz (IBLA series). The starting materials consisted of fine-grained analytical reagent grade calcite powder and crushed quartz. The grain size of the calcite powder was 5 to 10 microns; quartz particles averaged 25 microns. The two powders were mixed, and each mixture was cold-pressed into a large mold. The sample material was then hot-isostatically-pressed (HiPed), at 4500, 200 MPa for pure calcite and at 6000, 200 MPa for mixed compositions. Individual cylindrical samples were cored from the hipped aggregates and precision ground to 3.18 cm. length, 1.59 cm. diameter. Prior to deformation, the unconnected porosity of each sample was measured using the Archimedes method. Values ranged from 3 to 5% in the two-phase samples, to 9% in the pure calcite. Examination of the undeformed sample material revealed that quartz grains were well dispersed (Figure la). Calcite had recrystallized in all three materials, but grain growth was limited, resulting in grain sizes of 5 to 25 microns. Quartz grains remained 25 microns in diameter. Before jacketing, the samples were cleaned in acetone in an ultrasonic bath and subsequently dried under vacuum overnight. Standard triaxial deformation experiments were performed at 4000 and 600 C in an internally heated vessel. Confining pressures of 200 to 350 MPa were obtained using argon gas as a confining medium. A strain rate of approximately 3x0-s' was maintained by a servo-controlled ram. 179 Results: Mechanical Data A summary of results from the experiments is given in table 1. Stress-strain plots for the data (Figure 2) exhibit a variety of strength-related characteristics. The features of the plots which most clearly describe the mechanical behavior of each sample are the rate of strain hardening and the magnitudes of the stress and strain at which steady state, or zero hardening rate, is reached. The conditions under which increased quartz content had the greatest strengthening effect were 6000 C, 200 MPa. Experiments at 600 cC, 200 MPa confining pressure. Under conditions close to the calcite brittle-plastic transition, pure calcite aggregates exhibited very low rates of strain hardening and reached steady-state strengths of 20 and 40 MPa (Figure 2). The sample which contained 9% porosity (ZIl) appears to have reached steady state only after 10% strain. The other pure calcite sample (Z13) was hipped a second time at 600 0 C, 350 MPa, to reduce its porosity to 1%. This sample was the weaker of the two but reached steady-state deformation at 3% strain, suggesting that some of the apparent strain hardening in the samples is due to pore collapse. Samples with 5% quartz (IRE2, IRE3, IRE4) strain hardened at moderate rates. Samples IRE3 and IRE4 reached steady-state strengths of 70 to over 100 MPa, within 4 to 6% strain. Moderately high rates of strain hardening and large strain to reach steadystate characterize the samples which contained 20% quartz (IBLA3, IBLA5 IBLA7). The sample which was deformed to 12% strain (IBLA7) appears to have been close to steadystate deformation, at a strength close to 200 MPa, whereas samples IBLA3 and IBLA5 were continuing to harden when those experiments ended, at 6% and 8% strain, respectively. 180 Although there is noticeable variation among plots within each group of samples cored from the same material, clear trends are suggested by these observations. Under the given conditions, an increase in the proportion of strong particles results in an increased rate and duration of strain hardening, and therefore in a greater steady-state strength. Aggregates containing 20% quartz have roughly twice the strength of those with 5% quartz, and can be almost five times as strong as pure calcite aggregates. Comparisons with similar data obtained in experiments on Solnhofen limestone and Cararra marble (Schmid et al 1977, 1980) and fine-grained calcite (Walker et al 1990) also show that our samples which contain quartz particles deform at greater hardening rates than observed in pure calcite. Experiments at varied temperatures and pressures. The data for the following experiments are included to provide some information on the limits of the quartz particle hardening regime. A confining pressure of 350 Mpa was maintained during one experiment performed on the material with 5% quartz at 600 C. This increase in pressure had no quantifiable effect on the strength of the sample. Several experiments were conducted under conditions approaching the brittle regime for calcite. At 400 9C, 200 MPa, samples with 5% and 20% quartz both exhibited roughly the same strength as Carrara marble. This suggests that strong particles do not have a measurable strengthening effect at lower temperatures. One experiment was performed on the material with 20% quartz at 400 C, 300 Mpa, during which high confining pressure appears to have increased the hardening rate dramatically. It appears that at 600 0 C, deformation of these materials at a strain rate of 3x10-5s' is not sensitive to changes in confining pressure. However, at a lower temperature of 400 0C, a pressure-sensitive regime is entered, in which mechanical properties are far less sensitive to quartz fraction. Due to the small number of experiments under each set of conditions, further work is needed to verify these observed effects, and to further quantify the transition between the plastic deformation of our present experiments and the brittle deformation exhibited by experiments reported by Dresen and Evans (1993) 181 Results: Optical Microscopy Variations in microstructural features among the deformed samples appear to correlat

The flow round an elliptic cylinder immersed in a finite volume of fluid and influenced by an electric field is determined, under the boundary conditions arising from electrosmosis at the surface of the cylinder. This is a problem in slow viscous flow with difficult boundary conditions, and is solved by numerical analysis, using the relaxation method. After the flow pattern has been determined, the mechanical action on the cylinder is calculated. An experimental application based on the theoretical results is suggested as a method for the determination of electrokinetic potentials.


Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) cause human losses and irreparable physical and psychological damage to many of the victims. They also involve a very relevant economic dimension. It is urgent to improve the management of human and material resources for more effective prevention. This work makes an important contribution by presenting a methodology that allowed for achieving a predictive model for the occurrence of RTA on a road with a high RTA rate. The prediction is obtained for each road segment for a given time and day and combines results from statistical methods, spatial analysis, and artificial intelligence models. The performance of three Machine Learning (ML) models (Random Forest, C5.0 and Logistic Regression) is compared using different approaches for imbalanced data (random sampling, directional sampling, and Random Over-Sampling Examples (ROSE)) and using different segment lengths (500 m and 2000 m). This study used RTA data from 2016–2019 (training) and from May 2021–June 2022 (test). The most effective model was an ML logistic regression with the ROSE approach, using segments length 500 m (sensitivity = 87%, specificity = 60%, AUC = 0.82). The model was implemented in a digital application, and a Portuguese security force is already using it.

Current cardiovascular imaging technologies lack the resolution to accurately identify patients at high risk for acute myocardial infarction and sudden death. This study assesses the feasibility of a recently developed imaging technology, optical coherence tomography(OCT), to provide high resolution imaging of coronary microstructure. Imaging of in vitro human tissue was performed, demonstrating its ability to identify high risk coronary plaques. Its performance was also directly compared with high frequency ultrasound (IVUS), the current clinical technology with the highest resolution. The 16 micron axial resolution of OCT allowed a far superior analysis of plaque microstructure compared with the 110 micron resolution of IVUS. OCT represents an attractive technology for high resolution intravascular imaging due to its high resolution, high contrast, and ability to be integrated with intravascular catheters.

Conclusions Experiments on adrenalectomized rats indicate that the red cell chloride concentration decreases much more markedly during adrenal insufficiency than does the plasma or whole blood chloride content. In cases of slight hypochloremia caused by moderate adrenal insufficiency, the direct or indirect determination of the red cell chloride concentration or of the index Clc: ClPl is a more sensitive index of a change in chloride metabolism than the more commonly determined plasma or whole blood chloride concentration.


The electron microscopic appearance of the cyclical changes in the uterine gland epithelium was first reported by Borell, Nilsson and Westman in 1959. Several workers have since contributed to our knowledge of this tissue [for references, see N!ilsson 1962'-~). The view obtained of the normal ultrastructure of the uterine epithelium afforded a basis for studies on the ultrastructure of the pathological conditions in this epithelium. Thus, the appearance of hyperplastic endometrium (We s s e 1 1961) and of adenocarcinoma (Sirtori 1960; Sirtori and M o ran o I 961, N i 1 s s on I 962") was described. The present paper demonstrates some of the ultrastructural differences which are present between normal and cancerous uterine epithelium. Material and Methods The specimens of the normal endometrium were obtained with a biopsy curette from g women in the follicular phase and from 8 women in the luteal phase. This material and the methods are described and discussed in earlier papers (N i 1 s s on I 962'-'). The specimens of the cancerous endometrium were obtained with a biopsy curette from I woman in the late secretory phase and from 3 women in the menopause. This material and the methods are described and discussed in an earlier paper (Nils


In order to understand the exploitation yield formation in the North China Plain with problems of intensive overexploitation,a study is conducted using the field data collected from borehole geophysical logs with deep groundwater depression cone located in the Dezhou region.The data collection includes groundwater sampling and dynamic monitoring,as well as land subsidence monitoring in the region.Both elastic release of water from sandy materials and water released through aquifer compression in the confined aquifer are calculated for both rate and intensity in different soil layers and partition zones,together with latter flow and aquifer recharge due to groundwater exploitation.Results show both elastic release of water and water released through aquifer compression are inconstant due to the intensive overexploitation effect on confined aquifers,which increase with the drop of deep groundwater levels.The longer the intensive overexploitation of groundwater and the closer to the centre of deep groundwater depression cone are,the higher the clay soil component in confined aquifers will be,as well as the greater the elastic release of water and the water released through aquifer compression are.The calculated composition of elastic release of water varies from 14.2% to 17.5%,and the portion of water released through aquifer compression is from 35.5% to 61.9% and closely related to the condition of land subsidence in the region.


South Africa (SA) is a hard drinking country. It is reckoned that we consume in excess of 5 billion litres of alcohol annually; this figure is likely to be higher still if sorghum beer is included, and equates to 9 - 10 litres of pure alcohol per person. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report released in 2011, this is among the highest per capita consumption rates in the world, and it is continuing to rise.


The phenolic content in fenugreek sprouts could be enhanced by treating with natural exogenous elicitors with antioxidant potential such as folic acid and ascorbic acid. In the current study, the phenolic-enriched extracts were evaluated for their effectiveness in inhibiting -amylase and α-glucosidase activity. The results showed that phenolic-enriched extracts had the ability to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity. Ascorbic acid (500 μM) elicited fenugreek sprouts had thehighest phenolic content of 71 mg/100g FW on day 8 which also resulted in highest enzyme inhibiting activity of 38% in case of a-amylase and 42.5% in case of a-glucosidase inhibiting activity on 8th day. These results indicated that fenugreek sprouts when incorporated into the diet could contribute to potential management of hyperglycemia linked diabetes.

The performance predictions of the saturated IPM motor are, in general, difficult because of the variation of parameters due to magnetic saturation and cross-coupling. In this case, the well-known classical d-q model-based performance predictions can be unreliable. The difficulties are more apparent when the fractional-slot concentrated windings are used because neither the EMF waveforms nor the variation of inductance with rotor position is sinusoidal. Especially, the space harmonics of inductance cause considerable amount of time harmonics of current in the motor under the sinusoidal PWM voltage drive. The time harmonics of current increase the torque ripple and the harmonic iron losses. Hence, the space harmonics of inductance must be taken into account for the accurate design. Moreover, the effect of motor drive circuit such as PWM and dead time cannot be neglected in the design work. As computer technology has progressed, a time-stepping Finite Element Analysis (FEA) coupled with circuit simulation has enabled accurate predictions of the machine's performance, i.e., instantaneous current and torque waveforms. However, this type of solution is still unpractical for design of a saturated IPM motor because of a large amount of computation time. This paper proposes a new modeling approach for circuit-filedcoupled time-stepping electromagnetic analysis of a saturated IPM motor. To predict the drive performance quickly, the proposed approach consists of a dynamic simulator based on a new analytical model of d, q-axes magnetization characteristics (λ-id-iq-θ). As a typical example, Fig. 1 shows the calculated q-axis magnetization characteristics under d-axis current id = 0 and −100 A. It is found from Fig. 1 that the space harmonics of λq are relatively large for the high q-axis current. In addition, the space harmonics is a function of d-axis current. Therefore, the model based on the magnetization characteristics can take into account not only the cross-saturation but also the harmonics of inductance distributions in the performance predictions.

A Method for Discrimination of Ship Target and Azimuth Ambiguity in Multi-polarimetric SAR Imagery Zhou Wei1 Sun Yan-li2 Xu Cheng-bin1 Guan Jian1 1(Department of Electronic and Information Engineering, Naval Aeronautical and Astronautical University, Yantai 264001, China) 2(Department of Basic Experiment, Naval Aeronautical and Astronautical University, Yantai 264001, China) Abstract: Aiming to remove the false alarm caused by azimuth ambiguity in SAR imagery during the process of ship target detection, a method based on the improved / /Wishart H a unsupervised classification is proposed. First, the scattering echo peak zone of target is extracted and the / H a classification results are treated as the initial cluster centers. Second, the ship target and azimuth ambiguity are identified by comparing and analyzing the structure of each region. It is showed by experiment that the method can detect ships based on the azimuth ambiguity; thus the false alarm rate in SAR-based ship detection is reduced.


Analytical detection limits and Relative Ion Yield (RIY) by a jet type ion source glow discharge mass spectrometer(GD/MS) have been measured. With a jet type ion source, the sample loss rate for a Cu sample is 0.23 mg/min with 0.1 L/min gas flow rate and 0.11 mg/min with no gas flow rate. However, the ion intensity of Cu does not change significantly with thee variation of the gas flow rate. The RIY values obtained from the calibration curves of the six copper based standards were between 0.57 of Fe and 3.5 of Cr. The detection limits of most elements were in the range of 0.9 and 2.0 ppm when the glow discharge was operated at 4 mA, 1000V.
