AIM: To evaluate the role of kangshuaiyizhi formula I(KYF I,a Chinese medicine) on improving the ability of learning and memory in mice and to explore the mechanism related to choline acetyltransferase(ChAT) in hippocampus.METHODS: The mice were divided into 4 groups by gastragavege of distilled water,low-,middle-,and high-doses of KYF I,respectively for 40 successive days.Morris water maze test was used to assess the behavior performance of the mice with different treatment.The activities of AChE and ChAT in hippocampus were measured and the expression of ChAT in hippocampus was observed by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting after treatment.RESULTS: Compared to control group,the mice in high-dose KYF I group showed better performance in Morris water maze test(P0.05).The activity of ChAT increased(P0.01) and the activity of AChE decreased in high-dose KYF I treated mice.Moreover,the number of ChAT positive neurons and the expression of ChAT increased significantly in the hippocampus of high-dose KYF I treated animals(P0.05).CONCLUSION: High-dose KYF I improves the ability of learning and memory in mice.The results suggest that KYF I promotes the level of ACh in brain by inhibiting the activity of AChE,enhancing the activity of ChAT and upregulating the expression of ChAT in hippocampus.


some important aspects of their history; from the memorialization and reburial of the dead, through a reappraisal of what it meant to be Jewish in this new postwar world in the forms of revenge and a new (Jewish) national consciousness, to specific chapters on the importance of children and their upbringing in this new environment, the (re)creation of identity and the organizational forms that emerged to facilitate removal from Germany and aliyah in Palestine or emigration to the United States. The conclusions reached are forthright but carefully argued. Jewish DPs' continued residence in Germany and their interactions with the local populations helped to shape collective memories of the war but staying there also meant that they could not escape their memories of torment or fail to observe the Germans rebuilding their lives and their society while they remained as outsiders. This gulf between Germans and Jews became even more evident after most of the latter had left the country, with the Jewish dead being moved from municipal cemeteries and reburied, first in regional sites and then at concentration camps so that they were rendered 'out of sight and out of mind' (304). Also evident here was the, perhaps obvious, conclusion that the DPs were far from homogenous and were divided amongst themselves on many political, social and religious issues. There were the Zionists who remained on a war footing – now concentrated against the British – and the non-Zionist, the religious and the secular. However, Feinstein's overriding conclusion is that whatever divided them, the majority 'found significant elements that spoke to them and bound them together with other DPs' (307). She sees the DP communities as vibrant and assertively Jewish and an attempt by the survivors to reclaim control over their lives. This is a well written and carefully constructed analysis that has much to recommend it in providing an understanding of how the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust rebuilt their lives and their sense of identity in the postwar world.


Single phase Eu doped GdMnO3 ceramics were prepared using solid state reaction route. Several different characterization techniques were used to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of the samples, including X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). All samples indicated single phase which confirmed by XRD and SEM. Magnetic measurements of the doped samples at low temperature (10K) revealed the existence of ferromagnetic order with certain doping concentration which could be possibly due to slight structural distortion in the lattice.  Eu doped GdMnO3 could be the potential candidate for multiferroic application exhibiting better ferromagnetic property.


Succesive treatment of chiral esters 1 with LiN(i-Pr)2/Me3SiCl and di(tert-butyl) azodicarboxylate/TiCl4/Ti(i-PrO)4 gave N,N′ -di[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl]hydrazino esters 9 which on deacylation, hydrogenolysis, transesterification, and acidic hydrolysis furnished (2S)-α-amino acids 6 in high enantiomeric purity with efficient recovery of the auxiliary alcohol 7.


published in 2005 and raised great interest in medical communities around the world. But during the past years quite an amount of new data on this topic was collected that leaded to the need to update the document. In the present article we tried to review the main aspects of this updated guidelines.


In recent years, with tremendous advances in areas like mobile devices, algorithms for distributed systems, communication technology or protocols, all basic technological pieces to realise a Smart City are at hand. Missing, however, is a mechanism that bridges these pieces to ease the creation of Smart Cities at a larger scale. In this visionary paper, we discuss challenges of Smart Cities and propose enabling technologies to bridge the above mentioned pieces for their actual realisation. In particular, we introduce the concepts of Social Opportunistic Sensing (SOS) and Social Centric Networking (SCN). While the former is an enabling technology to interconnect all parties in a Smart City, the latter has the potential to enhance offline social networks in Internet of Things (IoT) enhanced Smart Cities by connecting individuals based on their automatically updated profile via context-based routing.


The parameter estimation of the frequency agility (FA) signal using the coding Nyquist folding receiver (CNYFR) is presented. The estimation algorithm adopting linear frequency modulation (LFM) as the local analogue modulation is derived. The Nyquist zone is estimated by the pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (PWVD) and the hopping frequencies are calculated by the maximum likelihood (ML) method. Simulations show that CNYFR with analogue modulation of LFM has better performance than the sinusoidal frequency modulation (SFM) one, and the parameter estimation accuracy is acceptable when the SNR is above 0dB.

For the low voltage power MOSFETs, the power loss and the switching frequency are the most important parameters, the two are separately determined by the conduction resistance RDS(on) and the gate charge QG. The gate charge mainly depends on the gate to drain charge QGD. The so-called figure-of-merit, which is defined as the product of the RDS(on) and QGD  is commonly used to quantifying the performance of the power MOSFETs for a specified off-state breakdown voltage (BVDS). The trench gate structure power MOSFET can attain low conduction resistance RDS(on) with high cell density, in this paper its structure and performance are discussed, due to there is a body diode between drain and source, the electrical characteristic of drain and source is not symmetric. On curve tracer, the device's capacitive effects both the gate capacitance and the PN junction capacitance which determines the gate charge QG are studied with its AC waveform. From this point, some abnormal cases are explained. Its C-V curve is also investigated, for the N- drift area under the gate which forms the gate to drain capacitance CGD, its high frequency C-V curve is different from that of the common MIS structure


In this paper, we propose a planar metamaterial particle that consists of two bright elements imprinted on a dielectric substrate in the microwave region. The two bright elements are a circular ring resonator (CRR) and an asymmetric single-split rectangular resonator (ASRR). The structure exhibits a narrow transparency band in a wide absorption/reflection band through coupling between the two bright modes. We study the proposed structure through numerical simulation and experiment. We also test different orientations of the structure for possible application as an efficient frequency selective-band obscurant.


Box-counting dimension reflects the spatial occupation degree of an object. The box-counting dimension of population pattern discloses the spatial occupation degree of population and its scale variation degree, the inflection point indicates the aggregating scale of individuals. This study analyzed the scale variation degrees of the spatial patterns of Larix gmelini populations in several typical forest types in Daxingan mountains, China using box-counting dimension. The results showed that the spatial distributions of Larix gmelini populations were high(1.5,near 2) in different types of Larix gmelini forests, which reflected the high spatial occupation degrees of the populations as the dominant species of these forest types. The order of spatial occupation degree was Vaccinium-Larix forest (1.829)Grass-Larix forest (1.720)Rhododendron-Larix forest (1.705)Ledum-Larix forest (1.513). The Box-counting dimension of Larix gmelini population was lower (1.371, far from 2) in Larix-Betula mixed forest, which showed the low spatial occupation degree of the populations in accompaniment position in the forest. Comparisons on box-counting dimensions of Larix gmelini populations among natural forests and that of plantation showed that, the order of spatial occupation degree was Larix plantation (1.868)Natural Larix forest (1.692)Larix-Betula forest (1.371), which reflected the variation of functions and positions of Larix gmelini population in different forest types.


Designing an effective burner is vital for the development of coal combustion technologies. Because of high pressure, the volumetric fraction of the coal particles in the injected fuel in a pressurized oxy-combustion (POC) burner approaches or even exceeds the limitations allowed by the commercial computational fluid dynamics codes (e.g., Ansys Fluent). Consequently, for such high particle volumetric fractions, the interplay between the particles, the fluid flow, and the burner wall needs to be re-evaluated. The present computational work is a first step in a systematic analysis of the roles of various characteristics involved in the POC process, such as the method of particle release, its location, and the particle size. Specifically, pulverized coal is burned under an elevated pressure of 15 bar in an O2/CO2 environment. A 100 kW, a POC combustor, is modeled with Ansys Fluent using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach. It is revealed that for this pilot-scale, pressurized burner, the gas phase flow velocity in the near-wall region exhibits anomalies. With the major focus on POC, this work aims to eliminate/reduce the impact of high particle loading on the gas-phase flow. To scrutinize the role of particle loading in the near-wall region and eliminate the impact of this velocity on POC downstream,
the particle-gas interplay in the boundary layer is investigated by means of the computational simulations incorporating the coupling between the turbulent flow and the particles. It is found that the tuning of the particle release location makes the gas-phase flow velocity in the presence of particles consistent with the pure gas flow velocity profile. The particles size is also found to have a significant impact on the particle trajectory.

The utility model relates to a camera chip for a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal with a camera function. The camera chip comprises multiple data output paths, via which image data are outputted to a processor. The mobile terminal adopting the camera chip comprises a camera and a processor. The camera chip with the multiple data output paths, which is adopted to replace conventional camera chips with only one data transmission path, is capable of transmitting two pieces of image data obtained by the camera to the processor. Attribute parameters of the two pieces of image data can be set for previewing and for photo storage, respectively. In this way, conversion is not required during photography, thereby realizing high-speed photography. In addition, since the image data for previewing are set in a way to adopt small size and high frame rate, the advantages of small data size, low power consumption, low temperature rise and good previewing effect are achieved.

Development of online instruction has become a major goal of many universities. There are multiple aspects to delivering an effective online course [Carr-Chellman and Duchastel, 2000]. One of these is to provide guided web based sessions for tutoring, review or introduction of skill development. Materials provided can include question/answers (data), lecture (video), problems (textual input), and others. The instructional delivery of an online course can overlap many of these artifact types. These artifacts, designed to heighten student involvement, can clutter the screen, adding distraction. There is a challenge in concurrently presenting similar concepts of different artifacts in a meaningful way. Our research investigates making the delivery of content through these technologies more effective. By linking review questions to the display of the content delivery, we propose that student attention will be more focused and content retention will increase.


The utility model discloses a pin roll type door leaf height adjusting device for a hinge. The pin roll type door leaf height adjusting device comprises an adjusting device body which is placed above a door leaf hinge and is connected with a door leaf section bar in a fastening mode, and an adjusting screw and an adjusting pin roll which are in linkage matching are arranged inside the adjusting device body. The lower portion of the adjusting pin roll extends out of the adjusting device body and abuts against the upper portion of the door leaf hinge, and rotating displacement of the adjusting screw is changed to be axial displacement of the adjusting pin roll. Compared with the prior art, the pin roll type door leaf height adjusting device for the hinge has the advantages that the adjusting pin roll is additionally arranged based on the prior art, the adjusting pin roll changes the rotating action of the adjusting screw to be the axial displacement of the adjusting pin roll, therefore, abrasion to the hinge is avoided, long service life is guaranteed, the entire structure is simple, assembling is convenient, and a good market application prospect is achieved.


Recently, there has been a growing push for countries to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) in order to strengthen health systems and improve health equity and access to health services. UHC has been identified by some as the third global health transition—the first being public health improvements (such as basic sewage and sanitation) and the second being the epidemiological transition that reduced the toll of communicable diseases.1 Major health and development organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank Group, the Rockefeller Foundation, Oxfam, the Gates Foundation, the International Labour Organization, and the United Nations Children's Fund, have endorsed initiatives promoting UHC.2 Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO's director-general, has described universal health coverage as "the single most powerful concept that public health has to offer" and has said that UHC represents the "ultimate expression of fairness."3 In September 2015, UHC was selected as one of the key targets to implement the health goal in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).4 Importantly, UHC has also been termed "a practical expression of the right to health."5 UHC is explicitly enumerated as a core obligation for the realization of children's right to health.6 It is also implicit in article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), which directs states parties to take steps toward the creation of conditions that ensure medical services and attention for all in the event of sickness.7 The first of the core right to health obligations identified in General Comment No. 14 (GC 14) of the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is "to ensure the right of access to health facilities, goods and services on a non-discriminatory basis, especially for vulnerable or marginalized groups."8 The commitment to universality in access to key health services is also implicit in other international and regional human rights instruments. Significant progress toward UHC, consistent with the requirements of the right to health, has the potential to provide the approximately one billion people currently estimated to lack access to necessary health services the opportunity to obtain them. Importantly, not all potential paths to a universal health system are consistent with human rights requirements. Simply expanding health coverage, especially if it continues to exclude poor and vulnerable communities, is not sufficient from a human rights perspective. As two health policy analysts warn, "beware—universal coverage is more difficult to achieve than to advocate. And people who are poor could


In electron‐beam lithography, two well‐known problems are proximity effects due to electron scattering and slow throughput because of limited exposure rate and resist sensitivity. We have investigated the generation of finely focused electron beams of low landing energy (?5 keV) and their application to materials processing. Lenses employing magnetic and retarding electric fields are found to have very low spherical and chromatic aberrations, thus facilitating the production of beams of low‐energy electrons without seriously sacrificing current density. With such beams the power dissipated per unit volume at the surface of a bulk target is higher than with high‐energy electrons, thus increasing the speed to exposure of very thin resists and dramatically reducing proximity effects. This compact volume of high‐power dissipation is also attractive for selected area annealing.


We propose a rendering method of reflective surfaces in polygon based computer generated hologram (CGH). A holograms for reflected images are computed and applied it as a complex texture to the surfaces.

Commodus. A secondary inscription on his monument recorded that he was "gathered to god on the 5 Nones" of some month of the year AD 217. The iconography of the sarcophagus was traditional and certainly not Christian; it displays Prosenes reclining on a dining couch "ready to be feted by his freedmen when they come to his monument" (89). While Flexsenhar encourages us not to dismiss this non-Christian imagery so nonchalantly and rightly adduces polytheistic parallels for the language of "gathered to god," the record of a specific death date is diagnostically Christian (as Flexsenhar himself acknowledges in a subsequent chapter on the catacombs). Maybe Prosenes held multiple identities, as it is now fashionable to believe, but to have such an unambiguously Christian formula on the extravagant monument of such a notable person in the Severan orbit remains striking. Flexsenhar's discussion is thorough and thoughtful, even if its conclusions can be questioned. On the whole, Flexsenhar's study is a valuable and compelling exploration of how a shard of fact was turned into a memory and elaborated into a legendary motif.


Teacher personal theories bridge a gap between theory and practice. Teacher training offers an opportunity for the trainee to become aware of their personal theories of practice and for these to be shaped . This article focuses on the role of reflection in the development of teacher personal theories of practice while training teachers of French as a foreign language. An interpretive analysis of messages posted on an Internet discussion forum for teacher trainees reveals how reflective students modify their personal theories on teaching by articulating theory and practice.


The lamellar structure of Al single crystals grown in pure and Sn-doped Al films in the presence of oxygen contamination is investigated by cross sectional transmission electron microscopy. The lamellae are parallel with the Al(111) planes. According to the EELS investigations of Al-20% Sn films, the lamellae are separated by interface layers containing oxygen and Sn. The lamellar structure is a growth structure formed by the nucleation and growth of islands of the lamellae. The interface can be formed by the process-induced segregation of oxygen on the (111) Al crystal faces.


Recent events in Afghanistan and Iraq appear to mark the beginning of a new and challenging relationship between the United States and the Muslim world. As the US embarks upon its self-appointed task of helping to bring about the development of peaceful, democratic civil societies in Islamic nations wracked by decades of war, ethnic strife and political oppression, it may prove instructive to reflect on earlier US efforts to foster democratic social development through education of Muslim communities under US military and civilian occupation. I propose, therefore, in this essay to examine the use and consequences of educational policy to foster development and democratic self-governance of Muslims under US rule in the southern Philippines between 1903 and 1920. This case, which occurred precisely one century ago, offers important insights into the ways in which culturally and historically constructed discursive lenses shape both the construction and interpretation of development policies and thus profoundly complicate efforts to introduce Western conceptions of modern democratic society in Muslim communities. It shows how such discursive lenses distorted publicly avowed aims of democratization into a neocolonial relationship between the US and an independent Philippines and an internal colonial relationship between the Philippine government and its Muslim minority characterized, in both cases, by continuing 'economic and social relations of dependency and control' by the former colonial power. The experience, I contend, offers a cautionary tale for contemporary US social agendas in the Muslim world.


In this article, we draw on two cases -- one of reproductive justice movements in the wake of the Latin American Zika epidemic, and one of an environmental justice movement spurred by an epidemic of chronic kidney disease among sugarcane workers -- to argue for social justice as an "elastic" technology of epidemic control. In its compressed form, social justice simply refers to the fair distribution of medical goods. In its expanded form, it emphasizes the recognition and representation not just of medical problems, but of entangled histories of racial, gendered, and economic inequity.


The Y362K mutation in the neck domain of conventional kinesin from Neurospora crassa provokes a significant reduction of the rate of movement along microtubules. Since the α‐helical coiled‐coil structure of the neck region is implicated in the mechanism of the processive movement of kinesins, a series of peptides related to the heptad region 338–379 of the wild‐type and the variant fungal kinesins were synthesized as monomers and as N‐terminal disulfide dimers, crosslinked to favour self‐association into coiled‐coil structures entropically. A comparison of the dichroic properties of the peptides and the effects of trifluoroethanol and peptide concentration clearly confirmed the strong implication of the single point mutation in destabilizing the intrinsic propensity of the peptides to fold into the supercoiled conformation. That there is a correlation between the stability of the coiled‐coil and rate of movement of the kinesin is confirmed. Copyright © 2003 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.


Sensor networks are dense wireless networks of small, low-cost sensors, which collect and disseminate en-vironmental data. Wireless sensor networks facilitate monitoring and controlling of physical environments from remote locations with better accuracy. They have applications in a variety of fields such as environ-mental monitoring; military purposes and gathering sensing information in inhospitable locations. Sensor nodes have various energy and computational constraints because of their inexpensive nature and adhoc method of deployment. Considerable research has been focused at overcoming these deficiencies through more energy efficient routing, localization algorithms and system design. Our survey presents the funda-mentals of wireless sensor network, thus providing the necessary background required for understanding the organization, functionality and limitations of those networks. The middleware solution is also investigated through a critical presentation and analysis of some of the most well established approaches.


We have demonstrated a quantum non‐demolition (QND) measurement with a collective spin of cold ytterbium atoms (171Yb) via Faraday rotation interaction, and have observed 1.8−1.5+2.4 dB spin squeezing. Since 171Yb atoms have only a nuclear spin of one‐half in the ground state, the system constitutes the simplest spin ensemble and is thus robust against decoherence. Furthermore, we have considered the atomic quantum swapping gate as a quantum information device using multiple Faraday rotation interactions, and have found that we can realize the quantum‐domain performance for a realistic experimental condition.


Acute Bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) are an increasingly common reason for hospital admissions. In recent years, hospitals have experienced a 71% increase in the rate of hospitalizations due to SSTIs. Skin and soft tissue infections are associated with significant health care costs. In a matched cohort study, Hatoum et al reported that patients ABSSSIs incurred on average 3.81 additional days and $14,794 excess hospitalization charges. In addition, Jenkins et al evaluated adult patients hospitalized with ABSSSIs had frequent use of potentially unnecessary diagnostic studies, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, and prolonged treatment courses. Although acute bacterial SSTIs are among the most common infections requiring hospitalizations, there is currently a of lack data regarding their use of resources and outcomes. In this issue, Berger et al describes patterns of antibiotics use for ABSSSIs in a large patient population. The authors used a sample of 22,382 adult patients hospitalized with a principal diagnosis of skin and skin structure infection between January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2009. The authors examined temporal changes in initial antibiotic therapy, frequency of initial regimen containing activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and use of regimens with broad coverage (ie, activity against gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic pathogens). The analysis was examined for each year in the study, on an overall basis, and for patients in each of 3 infection subgroups: acute infections, chronic/ulcerative infections, and surgicalsite infections. The sample size contained an uneven distribution of patients by region with 79% of the patients coming from either the Northeast or Midwest region. Over the study period, the authors demonstrated significant changes in prescribing habits for initial antibiotic therapy for patients with ABSSSIs. The use of cefazolin and ampicillin/sulbactam significantly decreased from 31.8% and 26.1%, respectively, in 2000 to 11.1% and 10.4%, respectively, in 2009 (both P G 0.01). The use of clindamycin remained relatively the same, 11.3% in 2000 to 13.6% in 2009; whereas the use of piperacillin/ tazobactam and vancomycin significantly increased over the study period. In 2000, piperacillin/ tazobactamwas used 6.8% of the time, and this increased to 22.9% in 2009 (P G 0.01). Vancomycin had a greater increase in use from 20.1% in 2000 to 58.2% in 2009 (P G 0.01). Initial antibiotic therapy with coverage toward either MRSA or Pseudomonas dramatically increased. Antibiotic therapy with MRSA activity increased from 30% in 2000 to 71% in 2009 (P G 0.01), whereas antibiotic therapy with an antipseudomonal agent increased from 16% in 2000 to 28% in 2009 (P G 0.01). One potential reason for the increase in SSTIs as well as the changes in the prescribing habits of initial antibiotic therapy is the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. S aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are common causes of a variety of skin and skin structure infections. In the past 2 decades, community-acquired MRSA has emerged as a significant cause of skin and skin structure infections. Several recent studies from either single centers or populations have reported community-acquired MRSA as the leading cause of SSTIs and at unprecedented levels in many regions. The 2005 Infectious Disease Society of America guidelines for the diagnosis and management of SSTIs recommends in cases of S aureus to assume the organism is resistant because of the prevalence of MRSA. Considering these reports, it is not surprising to see the changes in the prescribing habits of initial antibiotic therapy with an MRSA agent. EDITORIAL COMMENT

Bromeliophila helenae Gradst. sp. nov. (Lejeuneaceae), described and illustrated, based on recent collections from the Guayana Highland (Venezuela) and Dominica (Lesser Antilles), is the second species of this unique neotropical liverwort genus occuring exclusively in the leaf axils of bromeliads. The new species differs from the type species B. natans (Steph.) Schust. (SE Brazil) by its rounded leaf apex and rather short leaf cells The hyaline papilla in the genus appears to be proximal, not distal as was suggested previously. The species of Bromeliophila are morphologically highly variable and some forms are difficult to separate from Lejeunea. The generic status of Bromeliophila should therefore be considered critical.


Much problem solving and learning research in math and science has focused on formal representations. Recently researchers have documented the use of unschooled strategies for solving daily problems -- informal strategies which can be as effective, and sometimes as sophisticated, as school-taught formalisms. Our research focuses on how formal and informal strategies interact in the process of doing and learning mathematics. We found that combining informal and formal strategies is more effective than single strategies. We provide a theoretical account of this multiple strategy effect and have begun to formulate this theory in an ACT-R computer model. We show why students may reach common impasses in the use of written algebra, and how subsequent or concurrent use of informal strategies leads to better problem-solving performance. Formal strategies facilitate computation because of their


OBJECTIVES
The objective of the present study was to perform an external evaluation of published linezolid population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models, in order to evaluate the predictive performance using an independent dataset. Another aim was to offer an elegant environment for display and simulation of both the concentration and platelet count after linezolid administration.

METHODS
We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed for all studies evaluating the population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of linezolid in patients, and selected the models to be used for the external validation. The bias of predictions was visually evaluated by plotting prediction errors (PE) and relative prediction errors (RPE). The precision of prediction was evaluated by calculating the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean relative error (MRE).

RESULTS
Three papers (Models A, B, and C) provided linezolid-induced platelet dynamic models using population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelling approaches. The PE and RPE of both linezolid concentrations and platelet counts for Models A and C showed similar predictive distributions. With respect to the prediction accuracy of total linezolid concentration, the MAE, RMSE, and MRE of population prediction (PRED) values for Model C was the smallest. The comparison of the MAE, RMSE, and MRE of patient-individual prediction (IPRED) values for the three pharmacodynamic models revealed no large differences.

CONCLUSION
We confirmed the transferability of published population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models and showed that they were suitable for extrapolation to other hospitals and/or patients. The present study also introduced an application software based on Model C for the therapeutic drug monitoring of linezolid.


Energy transfer from photoexcited porphyrin molecules to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been experimentally detected for samples in aqueous Triton X-100 micellar suspensions. Addition of SWNTs to micelle-suspended porphyrin results in strong quenching of porphyrin fluorescence. Measurements of concentration-dependent quenching and spectra suggest that this process arises from formation of ground state non-covalent complexes between porphyrins and SWNTs. Optical excitation of the porphyrin generates characteristic near-IR emission from the SWNTs, indicating efficient energy transfer within the complexes. This energy transfer is deduced to occur through a Dexter-type electron exchange mechanism. Complexation of SWNTs with organic photosensitizers provides a novel way of uniformly exciting a wide range of nanotube structural species in polydisperse samples using only a single excitation wavelength.


Dalbavancin is a lipoglycopeptide approved in the United States (US; 2014) and Europe (2015) to treat skin and skin structure infections in adults with a convenient parenteral administration of either a single dose of 1500 mg or a dose of 1000 mg followed by 500 mg a week later. We evaluated dalbavancin in vitro spectrum and potency against Gram-positive isolates from pediatric patients.

 4,487 consecutive, unique pediatric patient isolates of clinical significance were collected from 32 US and 34 European medical centers and tested for susceptibility to dalbavancin and comparators by broth microdilution. The most common organisms were Staphylococcus aureus (n=2,633), Streptococcus pneumoniae (n=689), and beta-hemolytic streptococci (BHS; n=584). Susceptibility results were analyzed by patient age group: ≤1 years old (yo; n=1,459), 2-5 (1,106), 6-12 (1,164), and 13-17 (758).

 Dalbavancin showed complete activity against S. aureus (100% susceptibility), with a highest MIC value of 0.12 mg/L and consistent activity against all age groups (MIC50/90 of 0.03/0.03 mg/L for the US and Europe as well as the MSSA and MRSA subsets). MRSA rates were higher in the US (32.4% overall) than Europe (14.0%). In the US, MRSA rates were 38.7%, 34.2%, 28.4%, and 25.0% in the ≤1, 2-5, 6-12, and 13-17 yo groups, respectively; whereas, in Europe, it was slightly lower in the 2-5 yo group (11.5%) compared to the other age groups (14.1-14.8%). Ceftaroline was consistently active against S. aureus isolates from all age groups, with susceptibility rates ranging from 99.4% (13-17 yo) to 99.8% (2-5 yo) in the US and from 95.3% (≤1 yo) to 100.0% (2-5 yo) in Europe. Dalbavancin showed consistent activity against S. pneumoniae from all age groups (MIC50/90 of 0.008/0.015 mg/L for all age groups in the US and Europe) with a highest MIC value of 0.06 mg/L (1 isolate). All S. pneumoniae isolates were susceptible to ceftaroline, and susceptibility to ceftriaxone (at ≤1 mg/L; non-meningitis breakpoint) ranged from 92.7% (13-17 yo) to 100.0% (≤1 yo), or 97.8% overall. Dalbavancin was also highly active against BHS (n=584; MIC50/90, 0.008/0.015 mg/L; highest MIC, 0.06 mg/L), coagulase-negative staphylococci (n=240; MIC50/90, 0.03/0.06 mg/L; highest MIC, 0.25 mg/L), Enterococcus faecalis (n=200; MIC50/90, 0.03/0.06 mg/L; highest MIC, 0.06 mg/L), viridans group streptococci (n=102; MIC50/90, 0.008/0.03 mg/L; highest MIC, 0.12 mg/L), and vancomycin-susceptible E. faecium (n=26; MIC50/90, 0.03/0.12 mg/L; highest MIC, 0.25 mg/L), but showed limited activity against vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREFM; n=13 [0.3% of the organism collection]; MIC50/90, >2/>2 mg/L).

 Dalbavancin showed potent in vitro activity against a large collection of Gram-positive isolates from pediatric patients, independent of patient age and geographic region (US and Europe). Only 13 of 4,487 (0.3%) isolates exhibited a dalbavancin MIC >0.25 mg/L, all of which were VREFM. These in vitro results support further clinical development of dalbavancin for treatment of Gram-positive infections in children.


This workshop outlined the importance of discussing nutrition in each consult, and the role it plays in disease prevention and management, and also in animal welfare.


The problem which I address in this paper consists in the connection between democracy and capitalism. I begin by specifying a model of actor theory which indicates a number of methods of achieving co-operation between actors I then review different structural theories of democracy which link up with these methods. Against this background I then seek to clarify—and to some extent evaluate—the arguments which different researchers have adduced in support of the thesis that capitalism is a prerequisite for democracy.


This paper studies the political-economic equilibrium of a two period model with overlapping generations. In each period the policy is chosen under majority rule by the generations currently alive. The paper identifies a "politically viable" set of values for public debt. Any amount of debt within this set is fully repaid in equilibrium, even without commitments. By issuing debt within this set, the first generation redistributes revenue in its favor and away from the second generation. The paper characterizes the determinants of the equilibrium intergenerational redistribution and identifies a difference between debt and social security as instruments of redistribution.


Upsetting emotions or feelings are among the most common difficulties in recovery. Feelings such as anger, anxiety, boredom, depression, guilt, and shame can contribute to relapse and cause unhappiness. Mismanaged feelings can cause problems in relationships and ability to get along with others. Many people use alcohol or other drugs to cover up their feelings or make them less painful. However, substances can affect judgment and exaggerate feelings, making them worse than they actually are. The goals of this chapter are to learn how upsetting emotions can cause difficulty in recovery, to learn the most common upsetting emotional states and strategies for coping with them, and to increase sharing of positive emotions.


This paper offers a fixed-point approach to the issue of price level determination in general equilibrium. It arrives at a solution method for rational expectations models with missing initial conditions for financial wealth. The paper emphasizes the calculation of an equilibrium initial valuation for government debt via a Krasnoselski-MannBailey theorem. The analysis is performed from a global analysis perspective. Abstracting from policies that bring about zero eigenvalues permits us to draw conclusions about global dynamics. This approach builds on the Hartman-Grobman Theorem and implies no loss of generality. JEL Codes: C62; C68; E60; H30; H60.

Polarized photoluminescence spectra of M-plane GaN films grown on LiAlO2 substrates demonstrate the existence of a large polarization anisotropy in the near-band-gap excitonic transitions, which is consistent with the reduction of the in-plane crystal symmetry and the anisotropic strain generated by the lattice mismatch between GaN and LiAlO2. Band structure calculations based on the k∙p formalism support the observed experimental results and allow us to explain the temperature dependence of the photoluminescence energy. From the results of these calculations and the measured excitonic transition energies, we accurately determined the in-plane strain. The strain relaxation as a function of temperature and the role of the film thickness in the in-plane strain anisotropy are also discussed.


This article examines how marketing executives employ psychographics as part of their target marketing strategy in business technology markets. In spite of the increased attention in the recent business-to-business segmentation literature, psychographics is not used as a major segmentation dimension (only one in five companies used this base). Psychographic thinking without formal analysis, however, was a commonly used strategy evidenced by 59% of the companies. While there was no difference in target marketing success found between formal and informal psychographics, both approaches fared significantly better than firms not bringing a psychographic mindset to their segmentation strategy. Firmographic and demographic variables did not impact the use of organizational psychographics. Motivation, relationship and risk variables were used by marketing managers as psychographic inputs. Implications for management practice and a research agenda for segmentation scholars are presented.

The eco-district "Les Vergers", located in Meyrin (Geneva, Switzerland), hosts around 1'350 dwellings and some activities. It is heated by a 5 MWth geothermal centralized heat pump. This study proposes a detailed analysis of the thermal demand of 23 selected buildings in this district as a representative panel of buildings meeting high swiss energy performance standards (Minergie A/P) and equipped with different heat recovery systems. Although the buildings have better thermal performance than the average buildings of Geneva, most show an important performance gap between the actual space heating demand and the design values. A strong correlation between performance gap and cut-off temperature of the heating system suggests that the regulation of the heat distribution system plays a determinant role in the overall performance. Regarding the domestic hot water preparation, the buildings of this district present an average demand 23% lower than the standard value and 31% lower than a benchmark.


Epilepsy is a neurological disease that causes seizures in its victims that can lead to physical injury or even death in some circumstances. It is caused by excessive, synchronous abnormal firing of neurons in the brain. This chronic disease has no known cure and affects millions of people worldwide but can be managed through various methods. The successful treatment is dependent upon correct identification of the origin of the seizures within a brain. One major challenge for doctors is the analysis of the immense amount of data collected by electroencephalogram (EEG) devices. In order to identify a region of the brain that causes epileptic seizures, millions of samples must be analyzed manually by a trained eye to find interictal spikes that emanate from the afflicted region of the brain. This paper presents a method for automatic interictal spike detection while minimizing false positives. In this way, it eliminates the lengthy, manual process currently used by doctors. Analyzing real world data, the presented Neural Network Epileptic Spike Detector (NNESD) showed a PPV of 72.67% and sensitivity of 82.68% on average over 300 trained networks on a single channel of EEG.


co-operative relationships that bring out the best in children. Eleven key qualities and skills are presented that support children to become more resilient and to flourish. The nurturing of successful collaborative relationships based on a climate of respect, tolerance and trust is given high priority, with a chapter dedicated to working alongside school professionals. Case examples throughout demonstrate highly practical approaches to extremely complex problems. The pages of references bear witness to the theory in which this radical book is grounded. Initially a little sceptical and feeling unqualified to comment on this book, I grew to respect Selekman's insight, the risks he takes, his dynamic, creative approach and his overwhelming optimism. Despite irritation at Selekman's use of medical jargon and technical terms, I found this book powerfully informative. Although written about American systems and aimed at family therapists, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, this is an important read for all those who work alongside troubled children and would provide a valuable tool for teacher training. Despite advice from the Code of Practice, working in partnership with parents and other agencies is often interpreted in schools as a negative phone call when problems occur. Selekman illustrates, by drawing on the strengths of parents and children, just how different and valuable a resource these partnerships can be. Those of us who have asked the 'miracle question' in the past will realise how restricted we were, working with the child in isolation and yet seeking fundamental change in behaviour. Selekman gives very practical advice, demonstrating how the strength and quality of collaborative relationships can provide effective and lasting solutions. He makes the plea for professionals to lay aside their expert views, to open their minds to new and more flexible ways of working and to become better listeners in order to ask better questions. Sentiments to be applauded! I would highly recommend this refreshingly thought-provoking book.


Phosphate sources derived from wastewater and sewage sludge: agronomic potential Phosphorus (P) is a nutrient essential for energy metabolism and DNA/RNA production in plants. In Brazil, high amounts of P fertilizers are applied onto agricultural fields every year to supply plants demand, creating an economic, environmental and supply chain risk scenario. To overcome those issues, phosphate sources recycled from wastewaters and sewage sludge merge as an alternative to conventional fertilizers, due to their agronomic potential use and renewable origins, reducing environmental impact while contributing to sustainable agriculture and circular economy. Struvite and hazenite are minerals recovered via chemical precipitation from wastewaters, while ashdec can be obtained through thermochemical treatment of sewage sludge ashes. Low water-solubility and late release, more aligned with plants demand, are common characteristics of these recycled fertilizers, what could improve the efficiency of P fertilization. Here, we evaluated the solubilization of struvite, hazenite ashdec and triple superphosphate (TSP), their P release dynamics and their impact on the solution pH and on soil P fractions through an incubation leaching columns experiment. We also assessed their agronomic potential and efficiency compared to TSP (chosen conventional source) through a greenhouse trial for two 90 days cycles of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) under those phosphate sources and three P doses (30, 60 and 90 mg kg). Dry mass yield (DMY), biometric parameters, nutrient uptake and soil P fractions were analyzed for each harvest. Our findings showed that while the recycled sources are less water-soluble and promote late P release, solubilizing less P than TSP in the initial period, plants were able to improve P utilization from these sources, since struvite (both harvests) and hazenite (first cycle) outperformed, while ashdec was comparable to TSP in DMY and P uptake. In the first 90 d, all three recycled sources showed higher soil labile P levels than TSP, which was the only source increasing the non-labile pool by the end.


The complex three-dimensional flow fields in a mixed-flow pump impeller are investigated by appling the incompressible version of Dawes' Three-Dimensional Navier-Stokes code. The applicability of the code is confirmed by comparison of computations with a variety of experimentally measured jet-wake flow patterns and overall performances at four different tip clearances, including the shrouded case. Based on the computations, the interaction mechanism of secondary flows and the formation of jet-wake flow are discussed. In the case of large tip clearances, the reverse flow caused by tip leakage flow is considered to be the reason for the thickening of the casing boundary layer followed by the deterioration of the whole flow field

Internal structures of translucent poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel were for the first time observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). The observed image reflected the mesoscopic internal structures in the gel due to the "fixed concentration fluctuations" of network polymers as described in the text. Three-dimensional internal structures in the gel constructed from a series of the cross section images taken by the LSCM revealed that the gel had a bicontinuous domain structure consisting of regions dense and sparse in polymer networks.


Potential hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were screened from the site artificially polluted with 20,000 ppm of diesel. Among the isolates, two strains, SJD2 and SJD4, showed higher activities to degrade diesel on the Bushnell-Hass broth medium containing 2% of diesel. 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that SJD2 and SJD4 were Bacillus fusifomis and B. cereus, respectively. Both strains were found to grow in a wide range of temperature between 20℃ - 55℃, with the best at 30℃ - 37℃. This is the first report, as far as we know, that B. fusifomis is capable of degrading diesel. We hope that a new isolate, B. fusifomis, will efficiently conduct bioremediation at the contaminated sites with petroleum hydrocarbons.


INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by infections from a novel human coronavirus, has been reported since December 2019 in China but was only made official in March 2020. Since then, it has had an impact worldwide, both due to its aggressiveness and its fast propagation. Society has been facing this pandemic by following the recommendations and determinations of the WHO and the strategies deployed by governmental institutions. Among these, social isolation has been shown to be the most important, because when isolating, society tends to move less, with a consequent increase in physical inactivity and sedentary behavior, affecting its levels of physical fitness. The objectives of this review were: to review the most important effects of physical inactivity and sedentary behavior on the physical fitness levels of the population during the COVID-19 pandemic.

CONCLUSION
The role of a regular practice of activities on the levels of physical fitness is fundamental to define the balance of quality of life during a COVID-19.


The formation of Hoag-type galaxies with central spheroidal galaxies and outer stellar rings has yet to be understood in astronomy. We consider that these unique objects were formed from the past interaction between elliptical galaxies and gas-rich dwarf galaxies. We have modelled this potential formation process through simulation. These numerical simulations are a means of investigating this formation hypothesis, however the parameter space to be explored for these simulations is vast. Through the application of machine learning and computational science, we implement a new two-fold method to find the best model parameters for stellar rings in the simulations. First, test particle simulations are run to find a possible range of parameters for which stellar rings can be formed around elliptical galaxies (i.e. Hoag-type galaxies). A novel combination of particle swarm optimisation and Siamese neural networks has been implemented to perform the search over the parameter space and test the level of consistency between observations and simulations for numerous models. Upon the success of this initial step, we subsequently run full chemodynamical simulations for the derived range of model parameters in order to verify the output of the test particle simulations. We successfully find parameter sets at which stellar rings can be formed from the interaction between a gas-rich dwarf galaxy and a central elliptical galaxy. This is evidence that supports our hypothesis about the formation process of Hoag-type galaxies. In addition, this suggests that our new two-fold method has been successfully implemented in this problem search-space and can be investigated further in future applications. ~


We read with interest the 'Journal Club' section in the September 2016 issue of Indian Pediatrics, which commented on a randomized controlled trial on association between the Safe Delivery App and quality of care and perinatal survival in Ethiopia [1]. The commentary from an evidence-based-medicine viewpoint [2] rightly suggests that there are limited randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews on the efficacy of m-health, but we disagree with the viewpoint mentioned in the neonatologist's perspective [3] that the utility of a mobile-based application is limited, and it cannot be applied to the current health system.


The effect of microgravity on the growth of silica nanoparticles via the sol−gel route is profound. In four different recipes that typically produce silica nanoparticles in unit gravity, low-density gel structures were instead formed in microgravity. These observations suggest that microgravity reduces the particle growth rate, allowing unincorporated species to form aggregates and ultimately gel. Hence microgravity favors the formation of more rarefied structures, providing a bias toward diffusion-limited aggregation. Moreover, these results add to evidence that the growth of silica nanoparticles occurs not simply through monomer addition but by the attachment of smaller primary particles and aggregates.


The aim of this paper is explicit calculation of the classical capacity of quantum Gaussian channels, in particular, of those using squeezed states. The calculation is based on a general formula for the entropy of quantum Gaussian state, which is of independent interest, and on the recently proved coding theorem for quantum communication channels.

In this paper, I empirically examine the effects of uncertainty about government spending policy on economic activity using U.S. time series data. To this end, I constructed government spending policy uncertainty indexes and estimate proxy SVAR model. Proxy SVAR model with constructed indexes shows that an increase in government spending policy uncertainty has negative, sizable, and prolonged effects on economic activity. Moreover, the results imply that the commonly adopted recursive SVAR model in literature on policy uncertainty systematically underestimates the adverse effect of government spending policy uncertainty because of the endogeneity issue. One policy suggestion based on the empirical finding is clear announcement of future government spending path.


UMKM is short for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. MSME is a productive business that stands alone, whether carried out by individuals or business entities that do not choose a company. SMEs are distinguished based on each type of business, namely micro, small and medium enterprises. The provision of MSME assistance is one of the problems faced by the Office of Cooperatives, UMKM, Industry and Trade of Muaro Bungo in determining who is truly entitled to receive MSME assistance. One of the main problem factors that inhibits the development of MSMEs to become more advanced is limited capital. Based on these problems, it is necessary to have a Decision Support System (DSS) that can overcome these problems by using the Profile Matching method. SPK is the implementation of an information system that is intended to assist leaders in the decision-making process. The profile matching method is a method that compares the actual data value of a profile to be assessed with the expected profile value selected to be applied to a decision support system for determining the eligibility of MSMEs. This method is used as a criterion for rating MSME support in Muaro Bungo. Which has the final result in the form of a ranking obtained from the calculation of the SMART method, namely An Nisaa UKM selected as an alternative based on the sample data obtained, is eligible for MSME assistance in Muaro Bungo. The aim of the research is that the cooperative office can distribute assistance to business actors who really deserve it, so that with a web-based decision support system it determines the eligibility of recipients of MSME assistance according to and objectively.


Abstract Resisting a deep-seated technical perspective of education, I attend to the notion of attunement as a key concept with which to imagine curriculum as a complicated conversation. As fully appreciating the meaning and potential of attunement requires an embodied sense of the word that is deployed by working from within our bodily, social, and autobiographical experiences, I explore the notion of attunement in two of my own educational experiences: learning the Lindy Hop and teaching English. In doing so, I weave the Deweyan notion of habits into the discussion. I apply my search for rhythmic attunement (1) to partners' and students' becoming, (2) to the emerging creative processes of aesthetic/educative experience, and (3) to the yet-to-come through impulse and reflection by theorizing my habits as sensitivity, art, and constant renewals. I hope that my lived account of what attunement may feel and look like in education contributes to enhancing the understanding of what curricular and pedagogical practices may entail when teachers are not reduced to mere technicians. I hope to encourage educators to become nuanced dancers who constantly interpret and reinterpret the moves they have learned and willingly reimagine them while responding to ever-changing educational contexts and relationships.


The reader is referred to McDunnough (1988) for synonymy. The distribution data are based on specimens from the insect collections of Oklahoma state University and the University of Oklahoma. Since other collections were not examined for possible specimens collected 1n Oklahoma, the distribution Intonnation can not be regarded as complete; however, it represents data not In print elsewhere and should be of value.


Contact pattern and transmission error were compared for two different methods of simulating tooth generation and power transmission characteristics of hypoid gears. One method incorporates pinion and gear tooth flanks that are generated individually as a function of the parameters of the tooth cutting machine, and the other method uses the same gear tooth flank, but a different pinion tooth flank. The reference pinion tooth flank is a virtual one generated mathematically by a computer and it is conjugate to the gear tooth flank. The latter method uses the composite error surface of mating tooth flanks in the analysis. The calculated results were also compared with measured results obtained for four hypoid gear with four different kinds of tooth contact patterns. These investigations show the validity of the latter method for simulating the performance of hypoid gears. With this method, a gear engineer can apply knowledge of cylindrical involute gears to hypoid or bevel gears in predicting their performance.


Introduction Before 1905 (the year treatment with antimeningococcal serum started) the case fatality rate (CFR) of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) was 70 to 90% [1]. Patients with severe sepsis or septic shock died rapidly, usually within 24 hours. Patients with meningitis and other clinical manifestations could live as long as 6 to 8 weeks before succumbing [1]. Since Neisseria meningitidis did not produce any recognizable exotoxin it was hypothesized that endotoxin, a yet undefined chemical component of Gram-negative bacteria, played an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Research conducted during the last 30 years has confirmed the crucial role of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) in meningococcal disease and also documented the role of non-LPS components as proinflammatory molecules [2].


Objective To investigate the correlation and expression of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected gastritis, provide the clinical and experimental basis of immunotherapy of H. pylori-infected gastritis and preventing gastric cancer. Methods Endoscopic biopsies were obtained from gastric antrum at endoscopy from 110 patients with gastritis. Three biopsy specimens were obtained from each patient. Rapid urease testing, Warthin-Starry staining and HE staining were used. The samples of 74 patients fulfilled the criteria of H. pylori scientific study. Fifty-nine patients were H. pylori positive and 15 patients were H. pylori negative. The expression of IL-10 and COX-2 were detected by immunohistothemistry. Results The expression of IL-10 and COX-2 in H. pylori positive gastritis were 49.15% and 59.32%, which were significantly higher than those in H. pylori negative gastritis (13.33% vs 20.00%) (P<0.05). In H. pylori positive group, the expression of IL-10 in active gastritis (32.26%) was significantly lower than that in inactive gastritis (67.86%) (P<0.02). The expression of COX-2 in active gastritis (74.19%) was significantly higher than that in inactive gastritis (42.86%) (P<0.03). In H. pylori positive group, the expression of IL-10 and COX-2 were 64.00% and 44.00% in chronic superficial gastritis, 38.10% and 61.90% in chronic atrophic gastritis, 38.46% and 84.62% in intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia group, respectively. This difference was not statistically significant in the expression of IL-10 (P>0.05). The expression of COX-2 tended to increase gradually. The expression of COX-2 was higher in intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia than that in superficial gastritis group (P<0.05). In H. pylori positive group, there was a negative correlation between IL-10 and COX-2 (r=-0.566, P<0.001). Conclusion The expression of IL-10 and COX-2 are associated with H. pylori infection. IL-10 may have a protective action by inhibiting the overexpression of COX-2, which has correlation with gastritis and gastric cancer.

Objective This study aimed to determine blood glucose levels of healthy, term, appropriate for gestational age (AGA), exclusively breastfed infants at the age of 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours of life, and to investigate the incidence of hypoglycemia in those infants. Methods All healthy, term, AGA infants born in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta, who were exclusively breastfed during the recruitment period of December 2003 until February 2004, were included in this study. These infants were subjected to blood glucose level determination at the age of 6, 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours of life, and the clinical signs of hypoglycemia were monitored. Results Two hundred and fifteen blood samples taken from 137 newborns were studied. There was no incidence of hypoglycemia observed, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic. The range of blood glucose levels was between 41 mg/dl and 115 mg/dl. The means and the standard deviations (SD) of the blood glucose levels of the 6-, 12-, 24-, 48- and 72-hour old infants were 59.7 (11.98) mg/dl, 64.1 (13.51) mg/dl, 65.9 (14.42) mg/dl, 67.0 (14.95) mg/dl, and 78.6 (16.51) mg/dl, respectively. Conclusions The current concern for hypoglycemia in the population of healthy, term, AGA, exclusively breastfed infants during the first few days of life was not proven to exist. Therefore, there is no reason to resort to prelacteal feeding in such infants [Paediatr Indones 2005;45:7-13].


Objectives
B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL) is a protein found in the mitochondrial membrane with anti-apoptotic properties. Bcl-xL has demonstrated neuroprotective effects by enhancing mitochondrial function. However, during oxidative stress, Bcl-xL undergoes cleavage to form pro-cell death ∆N-Bcl-xL. Accumulation of ∆N-Bcl-xL causes abnormal mitochondrial channel activity associated with neuronal death. Therefore, strategies that prevent formation of ∆N-Bcl-xL protect the brain. In this study, we hypothesize that cleavage of Bcl-xL can be controlled by nutritional intervention. We test if treatment with lycopene, a potent antioxidant with neuroprotective effects, can protect primary neurons via improving intracellular redox status by reducing production of ∆N-Bcl-xL.

Methods
Primary cortical neurons were treated with lycopene, hydrogen peroxide (a ROS donor), or both. Levels of superoxide, cell viability and cytotoxicity, and protein levels of Bcl-xL and ∆N-Bcl-xL were quantified.

Results
Hydrogen peroxide increased cytotoxicity while treatment with lycopene protected oxidative stress-induced cortical death. Lycopene prevented N-terminal cleavage of Bcl-xL and thus inhibited formation of ∆N-Bcl-xL.

Conclusions
These data show that the formation of ∆N-Bcl-xL is induced in part by reactive oxygen species and high levels of oxidative stress. The antioxidant properties of lycopene help reduce oxidative stress and prevent cleavage of Bcl-xL to ∆N-Bcl-xL, thus maintaining an anti-apoptotic environment.

In present paper, deflection and stress of laminated composite plates are analyzed by a meshless local collocation method based on inverse multiquadrics radial basis function. This method approximates the governing equations based on first-order shear deformation theory using the nodes in the support domain of any data center. Transverse displacement, normal stresses, and shear stresses of the simply supported laminated composite plates under sinusoidal load are computed by the present method. The convergence characteristics are studied by several numerical examples. The present results are compared with available published results which demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of present method.


This paper presents an innovative strategy and model to synchronize all virtual clocks in asynchronous Internet environments. The paper makes three major contributions to this research area. Firstly, one-way information transmission is applied to reduce traffic overhead on Internet for the purpose of clock synchronization. Secondly, the slave nodes use local virtual time and the arrival timestamp, from the reference node, to create linear mathematical trend models and to retrieve the clock precision differences between reference clock and slave clocks. Finally, a fault-tolerant and self-adaptive model executed by each slave node based on the above linear trend model is created in order to ensure that the virtual clock is running normally, even when the link between the reference node and this slave node has crashed. It also presents detailed simulations of this strategy and mathematical analysis on real Internet environments.


The present invention relates to a vibration level sensor, having a tunable resonant circuit electrically (12), can be excited to generate mechanical oscillation loop oscillator resonant oscillations (3, 4), and the oscillation circuit (12) tuned to the mechanical oscillation resonant frequency control circuit (16,17,18,19,20). If the latter is an amplitude below a minimum value. For the amplitude mechanical oscillator (3, 4) and the minimum value to determine the mechanical oscillator (3, 4) means for comparing the fault (22, 23) for.


Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network is very complicated because of the logical concept for resources. In this paper, we focus on the network topology view and the routing information of permanent virtual connections (PVCs) for an ATM network management system (NMS) because the operator cannot understand them easily. To provide the operator with a simplified and easily understandable view of these, we propose a multi-layer view that shows the physical and logical topologies in one topology view and defines a sub-network information unit to depict the elements of the connection in an ATM network. By applying the user requirements in the design of the graphical user interface (GUI), we improve the usability of the GUI. The GUI in this paper provides the operator with a simplified network topology and the detail routing information of PVCs.


The convergence of Islam and national and cultural identity in Europe, exacerbated by external events like a murder, assassination, riot, embassy bombing or even a satirical cartoon, has the potential for disrupting civic order and eroding movements towards cultural assimilation and national integration. Clearly, fundamentalism in any religion, Jewish, Christian, Sikh or Muslim, can turn a few radicals into fanatics who seek the death of those whom they believe are infidels. Revealing the sources of cultural dissonance between Islamic faith and national identity can have a profound influence on how societies prepare for Muslim immigrant problems throughout Europe and even America. This social science inquiry involving six European countries (Denmark, Norway, Belarus, Austria, Finland and Belgium) provides a modicum of evidence for the depth and level of educator attitudes regarding the Muslim student population beliefs about integration into civil society and about violence.


AlN nanocrystals have been prepared in organic solvent at atmospheric pressure. The results of measurement on the samples indicated that the sample is a mixture of hexagonal and cubic AlN nanocrystals. All of XRD,FTIR and selective area electron diffraction measurements have proved the existence of cubic AlN.The photoluminescence spectrum of AlN nanocrystals is composed of a rather intense peak at 475nm and a broad weak peak at 550nm.


The TCEV regionalization model is applied to the São Francisco river basin in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is the case of a big watershed where the available data on maximum precipitation and floods are not uniformly distributed in the area but both present good quality. Therefore, there is heterogeneity of the available hydrometeorological information about the watershed, in both time and space. This statistical model is based on the product of two exponentials, both occurring according to a Poisson process: the first corresponds to the most frequently observed events and the other corresponds to the outliers. After applying this model, two homogeneous regions were identified, dividing the river basin into south and north, for both annual maximum precipitation and annual maximum floods. These regions were confirmed by sampling analysis and by comparison with the L-moments regionalization methodology. In the case of the maximum precipitation, the definition of the homogeneous regions reflects the available physiographic and climatological information on the watershed. Key-words: maximun flood; homogeneous region; precipitation.

Activated chemisorption of vibrationally excited SF6 molecules was observed on the surface of tungsten at high temperatures. A quadrupole mass spectrometer was used to study the channels for negative surface ionization of a molecular beam excited by CO2 laser radiation. Two types of adsorption centers with different molecular lifetimes were observed on the surface and laser excitation tended to reduce the potential barrier between these. A qualitative theory of the effect was developed. The measured temperature dependences were compared with the calculated ones.


The purpose of this chapter was to describe how the School of Education at Duquesne initiated a school-wide, redesign of its doctoral program in educational leadership through its participation in the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) – an initiative begun by Lee Shulman in 2006. The focus of CPED is to encourage colleges and schools of education that offer doctoral degrees in leadership, curriculum and instruction, or a similar area to rethink the program in ways that would enhance the learning opportunities and experiences of practitioners in the program. The intent of CPED is to generate more practitioner-leaders who are action researchers prepared to transform pre-kindergarten to secondary learning environments. In the chapter, the author discusses how Duquesne has redesigned its program and the concomitant opportunities and challenges for leadership. She also discusses how the redesigned programs have informed Duquesne's preparation of transformative research practitioners in educational leadership. Finally, the author operationally defines "traveling leadership theory" and what this theoretical concept means in terms of her leadership.


Multi-gigahertz optical pulse trains generated from mode-locked semiconductor lasers are promising for  a  number  of  applications  in  many  areas.  For  most  of  these  applications,  a  fixed  and  stable  pulse  repetition frequency  is  necessary.  Since  the  repetition  frequency  of  such  lasers  is  primarily  determined  by  the  effective refractive index of the laser waveguide and the laser cavity length, uncertainties during device fabrication as well as cleaving process may bring deviations to the repetition frequency.

This study proposed a mixed reality (MR)-based wearable guide system that enables students to learn MR virtual materials found throughout their real-world surroundings. This system adopted the HoloLens to realize a MR learning environment for facilitating hands-free use and avoiding interference with students' attention while walking around a historic site or museum. The goal of this study focuses on whether the MR-based wearable guide system is capable of raising students' situational interest when it is used in historic site and museum education. The situational interest scale, which consists of novelty, challenge, attention demand, instant enjoyment, exploration intention and total interest, is adopted to measure the learning interest of the students towards the proposed system. This study employed two museums as its research site and examined a total of 30 university students. The experimental results of this study indicated that situational interest has a positive effect, especially total interest and novelty dimensions. Therefore, the proposed system was able to effectively offer the feeling of freshness to the students and enhance their engagement when they encounter learning activities in a museum environment. For such informal learning environments, we believe that the proposed system can strengthen the interaction and the immersive perception between visitors and exhibition items.


CiteSeer is a freely available, online citation database. In this paper, we explore the citation graph of CiteSeer. First, we characterize that graph as given by CiteSeer. Second, considering a set of anchor papers, we give heuristics to find a partition of the graph whose cut is minimal. Finally, we evaluate our solution using different metrics.


A kinetic microphysical modeling approach that describes the formation of volatile aero- sols in the presence of organic emissions in near field aircraft emitted plumes at ground level is presented. Our model suggests that self nucleation of organic species, binary nucleation of water-soluble organic vapors with water, and multicomponent nucleation of water-soluble organic vapors with sulfuric acid and water all have very slow nucleation rates. The formation of new homogeneous particles in near field aircraft plumes is thus considered to be driven by binary nucleation of sulfuric acid and water. Volatile organic vapors emitted from aircraft engines primarily contribute to the nucleation process by condensing on existing homogeneous aerosols and only affect the size and the composition (not the number) of the homogeneous aerosols. Our model also shows that under low am- bient relative humidity levels or high ambient temperatures, nucleation mode particles are more organic-rich than soot coatings. Organic mass fraction of nucleation mode particles is more sensitive to organic emissions levels compared to that of soot coatings. Ambient temperature and relative humidity were also predicted to affect the nucleation of sulfuric acid–water cores, where higher ambient relative humidity level and lower ambient tem- perature strongly favor binary sulfuric acid–water nucleation. The effect of ambient conditions on organic fractions was predicted to be relatively insignificant. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4029366]


Laboratory‐based research provides great control over individual experimental replicates, but lacks the ecological realism of field work. Therefore, results from laboratory‐based work may not reflect natural processes. Field‐based studies have the advantage of ecological realism but often lack control over environmental variables and have low rates of within‐experiment replication and as a result can have low statistical power to detect effects. Here, we present a method for creating a standardized system for experimental replicates in the field using solar‐powered water pumps to run a modified zebrafish aquatic habitat system with recirculating water in situ. In our pilot study we used this apparatus to test the effects of naturally occurring parasites on the behaviour of individual fathead minnows, but this experimental set‐up has potential for broad application to field‐based research in aquatic ecology. We constructed a simple frame from conventional 2″ × 4″ lumber to support rows of 1‐L tanks in the littoral zone of a small lake. Lake water is pumped to an overhead manifold made from a PVC pipe drilled with one hole over each tank. A short length of airline tubing directs the water flow into each individual tank. Water entering each tank passes through the manufacturer's grate at the rear of each tank and returns to the lake. We stocked one fish per tank, therefore the lack of water flow during the night did not cause duress or mortality. This system allowed control over individual test subjects while housing them in semi‐natural conditions with a steady supply of lake water at a field site far removed from any source of electricity.


In the last 'years the study of the LAGEOS orbital features (a ball covered with corner reflectors suitable to be ranged by SLR ground stations) has been focused about the modelling of non-gravitational effects acting on the satellite. In fact the LAGEOS tracking data analysis shows that the residuals on the along tra,l, accel5ration have a secular drag of about -3.4~10- m/sec and signatures whose periods turn out from linear combinations of the longitude of the LAGEOS node and of the Sun. Thermal thrust due to the Earth's infrared radiation (Rubincam effect), Charge and Neutral Particle Drag seem to explain the overall secular drag. The Yarkovsky-Schach effect due to the Solar heating is a probable mechanism able to explain the signatures occurring, together with the Earth and LAGEOS anysotropic optical properties. The paper will be focused to correct and improve the Yarkovsky-Schach model. In particular the new model corrects some inaccuracies of the old one and studies interesting possible improvements not yet considered such as the Sun like a disk and the extinction of the Earth atmosphere.

Two areas of recent investigations have resulted in improved single-side band performance with tetrode power tubes. In one case two contracts were undertaken from the military services to upgrade tubes for use in existing communications equipment. Both programs had similar goals: to improve the performance of existing equipment without the need for modifying the equipment. This could only be accomplished by developing power tubes with improved intermodulation characteristics which would plug directly into the equipment. For a U.S. Army transmitter, tube third-order intermodulation products (IM3) were reduced from a level of --22 dg to a typical value of --33 db. The goal of the Navy contract is to develop a tube with an IM3 of less than -28 db (compared with--20 db for the tube presently used).
