BACKGROUND
Nursing faculty continually seek new teaching strategies to promote prelicensure nursing students' critical thinking. Students construct new knowledge through experience. Esthetic learning methodologies involve gaining knowledge and insight through emotive, firsthand experiences. The esthetic experience of watching a movie, coupled with reflective journaling, has been used with health care students to promote learning. However, little is documented in the literature on its use with nursing students or its influence on the formulation of critical thinking skills.

METHOD
This descriptive qualitative study explored the impact of watching the movie, Sully, followed by structured reflective journaling on critical thinking of prelicensure nursing students.

RESULTS
Themes were identified which demonstrated students' insights into the components of critical thinking and expert thinking.

CONCLUSION
Esthetic learning is a promising teaching approach that addresses multiple ways of knowing, thereby enhancing students' learning about critical thinking in a prelicensure education program. [J Nurs Educ. 2021;60(5):281-285.].


Masseter muscle hypertrophy (MMH) usually presents with cosmetic concerns as it may lead to widening of the lower face. Apart from the traditional surgical approaches, botulinum toxin type A (BTA) injection is a non‐invasive treatment option available. There are no standard guidelines for this procedure.


Abstract Abiding by the principles and rules of project management in the public administration environment provides project managers with a range of pitfalls that can influence the success of the project. This fact has been proved by a number of analysed projects. The managers themselves claim that the most challenging problem from the perspective of project management and assessment of the project success is the field of leadership (the leading of the project team by a project manager). The authors of this article have therefore identified the most important factors for assessing the success of the project management of a team by a manager at various stages of the lifecycle of a project. Furthermore, both the direct and indirect impact of not respecting these factors in achieving the project objectives and in creation of job satisfaction within the project team have been presented in compliance with the data analysis of completed projects in the public sector and the authors' own experience in dealing with projects in the public sector. The article offers approaches to mitigate some negative aspects regarding the principles and rules of project management according to recognized international standards. Although the article is primarily intended for project managers in the public administration environment, it can also provide some inspiration for fresh approaches to the field of leadership for project managers in the private sector. This article was written as a part of the project Development of Social Skills of a Soldier (LEADER_DZRO_K104), funded by institutional support, which is intended for the development of research organizations in the Ministry of Defence (DZRO K-104) funded from.


Dipole moments and molar Kerr constants at 25° are recorded for 3-chloropropyne, 3-bromopropyne, phenylacetylene, diphenylacetylene, di-(p-chlorophenyl)acetylene, and dimethyl and diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, as solutes in carbon tetrachloride. Anisotropic polarisabilities (bL= 3·79, bT=bv= 1·26) for the C≡C bond, deduced from literature data, are satisfactorily applicable to 3-chloropropyne, 3-bromopropyne, and phenylacetylene. Observations on the esters can be interpreted in terms of a mixture of non-planar cis- and trans-isomers.


A very important goal of building up digital campus is to share campus information resources in a safe and effective way.Technology of Grid enables information to be shared;however,it is not effective enough in verifying the user's ID and authority.This article presents a Campus Resource Planning model based on the integrating of Grid and Campus-Card System so as to construct an advanced campus information platform.


Background and Aim: Educating environmental Character influenced by environmental ethics targets attitude and behavior of the people, pragmatically, in a way that even the law may be affected by its lobbying. Thus, present study aimed to explain the determinants of environmental character education. Materials and Methods: In this qualitative study, main key words were searched in the internal and foreign databases for the purpose of obtaining the themes and determinants of environmental character education. Then, the content analysis of 45 research documents retrieved with a deductive approach was carried out. For this purpose, firstly, the determinants of character education and, in particular, environmental education, were extracted based on the view of each researcher. In the next step, the frequency of the determinants was calculated by SPSS software. Then, the conceptual model of the research was drawn up using the Nvivo software 10. Findings: The total number of determinants of the 45 environmental character education identified by researchers was 60 items. Some of the determinants were emphasized only by one researcher, such as: nature sanctity, strength, leadership skills, religiousness, identification, obedience, and intelligence. The most important determinants identified were respect (48.9%), fairness (42.2%), honesty (35.6%), compassion (33.4%), responsibility (33.4%), perseverance (26.7%), care (24.4%) and discipline (22.2%), empathy (20%), patience (20%). Conclusion: Changing our attitude to the environment, from commodity view to social view will change our behavior. Our model shows that Character Education founds a variety of positive attitudes and behaviors in favor of environment which ensure human well-being in life cycle.

With the fast development of science and technology, there emerges a new economic formation, namely, the knowledge economy. This indicates that the 21st century is a century of knowledge economy. Institutes of higher learning are the carriers of knowledge creation, knowledge popularization and utilization.They play decisive roles in the era of knowledge economy. This article aims to explore the opportunities and challenges knowledge economy brings and to establish the new concept of people-oriented sustainable sports education.


The microwave paramagnetic resonance spectrum previously reported for 2.3-day Np/sup 239/ activity incorporated into a crystal of UO/sub 2/Rb(NOsub 3/)/ sub 3/ has been reexamined and determined to be due, not to Np/sup 239/, but to radiation-induced resonance centers. Experiments tentatively suggest that these resonance centers may be Pu/sub 239/ in an unusual oxidation state. An experiment in which Np/sup 239/nuclei were aligned by static hfs interactions (Pound and Bleaney methods) showed an anisotropy of the 1-ray pattern; this proves that the nuclear spin I(Np/sup 239)> 1/2, in contradiction to our earlier result.

In a wide spectrum of real-world applications, it is very important to analyze and mine graph data such as social networks, communication networks, citation networks, and so on. However, the release of such graph data often raises privacy issue, and the graph privacy preservation has recently drawn much attention from the database community. While prior works on graph privacy preservation mainly focused on protecting the privacy of either the graph structure only or vertex attributes only, in this paper, we propose a novel mechanism for graph privacy preservation by considering attacks from both graph structures and vertex attributes, which transforms the original graph to a so-called <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$kt$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi>k</mml:mi><mml:mi>t</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="lian-ieq4-3221333.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula>-safe graph, via <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$k$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mi>k</mml:mi></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="lian-ieq5-3221333.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula>-anonymity and <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$t$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mi>t</mml:mi></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="lian-ieq6-3221333.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula>-closeness.

In particular, we design a cost-model-based graph partitioning approach to enable our proposed divide-and-conquer strategy for the graph anonymization, and propose effective optimization techniques such as pruning method and a tree synopsis to improve the anonymization efficiency over large-scale graphs.

In this paper, we present a model of evolution of genes in the context of evolution of species. The concept is based on reconciliation models. We assume that the gene evolution is modeled by macro-evolutionary events like gene duplications, losses and horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) while the evolution of species is shaped by speciation events. We define an evolutionary scenario (called an H-tree) which will represent the common evolution of genes and species. We propose a rewrite system for transforming the scenarios. We prove that the system is confluent, sound and strongly normalizing. We show that a scenario in a normal form (that is, non-reducible) is unique and minimal in the sense of the cost computed as the total number of gene duplications, losses and HGTs (mutation cost). We present a classification of the scenarios and analyze their hierarchies.


This study analyzed determinants of hotel room prices in the Philippines using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and assessed how these price determinants affects the economic performance of hotels. Specifically, it aimed to describe hotel characteristics based on STR classification, determine key performance indicators (KPIs) of all Philippine markets, correlate hotel characteristics with hotel pricing and with key performance indicators (KPIs); and key performance indicators (KPIs) with hotel pricing. Lastly, a comprehensive structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to determine hotel industry price determinants. Using an aggregated and quantitative anonymize property level data STR provided, researchers selected 88 hotels active with STR. The study revealed that most hotels in the Philippines are economy in terms of class; chain-owned in terms of hotel operation; located in urban areas; and with 150 – 299 rooms in terms of size. Hotel price was significantly predicted by all hotel characteristics aside from operation. Pricing was also significantly predicted by hotel key performance indicators (KPIs)—average daily rate (ADR), revenue per available room (RevPAR), and occupancy. The structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that key performance indicators (KPIs) such as average daily rate (ADR), revenue per available room (RevPAR), and occupancy were main determinants of hotel pricing. Further, data showed that hotel characteristics such as operation, class, location, and size code mediated the influence of key performance indicators (KPIs) on hotel pricing. Results of this study contribute to widening existing studies of hotel room pricing which hospitality executives may use as reference to come up with appropriate pricing strategies

Lafontaine Campus of Dawson College is situated near Montreal's "Main" and draws a large number of students from immigrant communities in that area of the city. Low proficiency in the language of instruction is a frequent hindrance to students' general progress in the college. To serve the needs of such a student population, various techniques in PSI and peer teaching have been combined in a teaching service which is directed from a learning centre. The structure and administration of such a system may be of interest to other colleges whose students need extra instruction in academic skills.


This paper proposes a new method for constructing M-band spline wavelets.These wavelets not only have more freedom in the design than scalar wavelets,but also simultaneously possess many desired properties such as short support,high vanishing moment,symmetry,regularity and orthogonality.Finally,the spline wavelets are applied for image compression.The wavelets show the advantages of computation and compression compared with some frequently used wavelets such as Daubechies,Meyer and biorthogonal wavelets.


Infrastructure as code (IaC) is a set of practices that use "code (rather than manual commands) for setting up (virtual) machines and networks, installing packages, and configuring the environment for the application of interest" [3]. The infrastructure managed by this code includes both physical equipment ("bare metal") and virtual machines, containers, and software-defined networks. This code should be developed and managed using the same processes as any other software; for example, it should be designed, tested, and stored in a version-controlled repository.


The purpose of this paper is to present two methods for estimating all the parameters of induction motors operating in open-loop or in closed-loop. The parameters are obtained by solving a recursive least squares minimization problem. The estimation procedure is performed in two parts. First, the stator leakage inductance and the stator resistance are determined by using the homopolar machine model. Then, given the previously estimated homopolar parameters and by using the dynamic dq model, all the other parameters are determined. The first method is derived for open-loop operation. In the second method, the model is derived for the case where the stator currents of the motor are regulated via a linear feedback controller. Selected experimental results are used to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed methods.


The modular decomposition of a graph is a canonical representation of its modules. Algorithms for computing the modular decomposition of directed and undirected graphs differ significantly, with the undirected case being simpler, and algorithms for directed graphs often work by reducing the problem to decomposing undirected graphs. In this paper we show that transitive acyclic digraphs have the same strong modules as their undirected versions. This simplifies reduction for transitive digraphs, requiring only the computation of strongly connected components. Furthermore, we are interested in permutation graphs, where both the graph and its complement are transitively orientable. Such graphs may be represented indirectly, as the transitive closure of a given graph. For non-transitive graphs we present a linear-time algorithm which allows us to identify prime-free modules w.r.t their transitive closure, which speeds up both modular decomposition and transitive orientation for sparse graphs. Finally, we show that any transitive orientation of a digraph's complement also transitively orients the complement of the digraph's transitive closure, allowing us to find such orientations in (near-)linear time.


Pagar Alam City is one of the cities in South Sumatera province which has a high number of people who are quite and fluctuating diarrhea caused by poor environmental sanitation. The research aims to produce a direction for the arrangement of a sanitary-based environment for diarrhea prevention in Pagar Alam City. This research is a qualitative study with an analysis of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which emphasizes comparative judgment based on data and literature study. From interviews and literature studies, there are three important criteria for structuring a sanitation-based environment, namely society, environment, and infrastructure. From these criteria, there are eight alternative policies related to the arrangement of sanitation based environment for diarrhea prevention, with priority as follows: Environment sanitation Program based on a case study, strengthening community empowerment facilitator, improving coordination and cooperation among related agencies, rescue environment through local wisdom, improvement of infrastructure access and sanitation facilities, forming sanitation clinics incorporated in Public health center, institutional strengthening and drafting strict rules, and Monitoring and evaluation of sanitation programs.


Oxygen is observed to adsorb molecularly on 0.13 0.27 ML Au/Ni(l 111) surface alloys at 77 K, in stark contrast to dissociative adsorption on Ni and no adsorption on Au surfaces. Molecular 02 adsorbates on the Au/Ni(l 11) surface alloy are identified by their 0=0 vibrational modes at 790, 850 and 950 cm-', measured by electron energy loss spectroscopy. Possible Ni adsorption sites for the three types of molecularly adsorbed 02 are proposed. The dramatic change in Ni reactivity occurs within a narrow Au coverage range around 0.13 ML Au and arises from poorer overlap between the Ni d-band and the 02 LUMO as the Ni d-band shifts to lower energy with increasing Au content of the Au/Ni surface alloy. The amount of molecular adsorption as a function of Au coverage cannot be described by an analytical or simulated model based on Au atom proximity to Ni sites, suggesting the role of cooperative effects in 02 stabilization. Adsorbed molecular 02 dissociates between 110 to 150 K. No oxygen desorbs. At Au coverages greater than 0.27 ML, the energy of the Ni d-band is shifted sufficiently low to destabilize oxygen adsorption. Carbon monoxide is catalytically oxidized on the Au/Ni( 11) surface alloy at 70 and 77 K via a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. Molecularly adsorbed 02 is identified as the reactant with adsorbed CO. The reaction probability at 77 K is 0.4. Atomically adsorbed O and CO do not react at 77 or 300 K. Between 108 and 125 K, CO reacts with either atomic O adsorbed on Au atoms or with molecularly adsorbed 02. Between 125-150 K, CO2 production coincides with 02 dissociation, suggesting a "hot atom" mechanism. The reactive potential energy surfaces likely have a late transition state. This work demonstrates that the nanoscale size of Au clusters and its associated quantum size effect are not the necessary feature that enables Au-catalyzed low temperature CO oxidation. Rather, this work strongly suggests that an adsorbed 02 species similarly stabilized at the perimeter of Au nanoparticles is the critical reactant in supported oxide systems.

ObjectiveTo analyze and compare the efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and magnetic resonance (MRI) in the diagnosis of difficult renal tumor with CT. MethodsA total of 136 patients with renal space occupying who received CEUS and MRI in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2013 to December 2020 after improved abdominal enhanced CT was difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant patients were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnostic results of the two examination methods were compared with the pathological examination results to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of the two methods.Results61 cases were benign and 75 cases were malignant. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CEUS, MRI and combined examination for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant renal tumors difficult to be determined by CT were (CEUS:94.42%, 87.69%, 91.18%, 89.33%, 93.44%;MRI:81.63%, 91.84%, 85.29%, 94.67%, 73.77%;MRI+CEUS:94.67%, 93.44%, 92.65%, 94.67%, 93.44%). Comparison of the sensitivity of single and combined CEUS and MRI in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant renal tumors that were difficult to be identified by CT: χ2=11.34, P =0.001, there was statistical significance; χ2=0.86, P =0.35, there was no statistical significance; χ2=5.73, P =0.02, between MRI and CEUS +CEUS.CEUS with single and combined MRI examination of CT qualitative differential diagnosis of benign and malignant renal tumors ROC curve shows that applied to the differential diagnosis of benign versus malignant tumor CT is qualitative the MRI + CEUS is better than that of CEUS, CEUS is better than that of MRI, the area under the curve comparison(accurate):MRI compar-ed with CEUC no statistical significance (p = 0.26), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CEUS were compared with MRI + CEUS were statistically significant (p = 0.02, p = 0.01).ConclusionBoth CEUS and MRI can be used to distinguish between benign and malignant renal tumors that are difficult to be characterized by CT. However, CEUS alone has more clinical application value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant renal tumors that are difficult to be characterized by CT considering economic effects, indications and side effects.


CHERI-MIPS is an instruction set architecture that provides hardware support for secure encapsulation and fine-grained memory protection. The guarantees it intends to offer are described in high-level prose, which makes it difficult to understand what they precisely are, whether they are true, and whether they indeed provide memory protection. We describe ongoing work on proposing formal definitions of these guarantees and proving that they are true.

A delta robot with three degrees of freedom, having been well studied over the past 40 years, is one of the most popular parallel mechanisms. Nowadays, an urgent task is to study the properties of various modifications of this mechanism. The article considers a delta robot with four degrees of freedom, in which one of the kinematic chains with a parallelogram is divided into two, allowing the output link to have an additional rotational degree of freedom. To maximize the working area and minimize the cost of modification the optimization of the robot design was performed. The problem of maximizing a cubic workspace has been solved.


The paper presented several studies concerning the structural analysis in the seismic design of bridges on (1) the dynamic and equivalent static analysis methods used currently in the seismic design of bridges, and the limits of applicability of the different methods are studied. A parametric study is carried out and presented. (2) Then, the modeling assumptions used to prepare input data for the analysis are discussed. The effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), and cracking of the reinforced concrete columns (effective cross section properties) are studied. (3) Finally, a comparison of the response of different bridge structural systems to earthquakes is presented. The effect of the boundary / support conditions on the forces and deformations developed in the bridge due to seismic actions is studied.


The deposition of 0.005 cm of lead-tin solder is required in the fabrication of flip-chip integrated circuits. Conventional bell jar techniques for coating masked wafers 214-in. (5.7-cm) diam severely limited the batch size. Consequently, a 142-position, 5-tier "ferris wheel" dome, rotated at 5 rpm, was used. A low-voltage radiation heated source was mounted within the dome and was masked experimentally to attain uniform deposition rates on each tier. The vacuum system for this arrangement is fairly novel for the semiconductor industry. Instead of the conventional bell jar a box coater, about 36-in. (0.9-m) on a side, with a full opening front door is used. This provides for extremely flexible design and easy operation. Specifically the "shoe horn" tooling so characteristic of bell jars is avoided. The lead-tin evaporation source is extremely rugged and reliable even though it evaporates 3 lb at a time. Thickness is within the range of 0.0046–0.006 cm and maintenance is minimal.


Background Prior research on health information behaviors of people with dementia has primarily focused on examining the types of information exchanged by people with dementia using various web-based platforms. A previous study investigated the information behaviors of people with dementia within a month of their diagnosis. There is an empirical gap in the literature regarding the evolution of health information needs and behaviors of people with dementia as their condition progresses. Objective Our work primarily investigated the information behaviors of people with dementia who have been living with the condition for several (4 to 26) years. We also aimed to identify their motivations for changing their information behaviors over time. Our primary research questions were as follows: how do people with dementia get informed about their condition, and why do people with dementia seek information about their condition? Methods We adopted an action research approach by including 2 people with dementia as members of our research team. Collaboratively, we conducted 16 remote 1-hour contextual inquiry sessions with people living with mild to moderate dementia. During the study sessions, the first 40 minutes included semistructured interviews with participants concerning their information behaviors, followed by a 20-minute demonstration of their information-seeking strategies. Data from these interviews were analyzed using a constructivist grounded theory approach. Results Participants described their information needs in terms of managing the disrupted physiological, emotional, and social aspects of their lives following a diagnosis of dementia. They used various information behaviors, including active search, ongoing search, monitoring, proxy search, information avoidance, and selective exposure. These information behaviors were not stagnant; however, they were adapted to accommodate the changing circumstances of their dementia and their lives as they worked to re-establish equilibrium to continue to engage in life while living with a degenerative neurological condition. Conclusions Our research revealed the motivations, changing abilities, and chosen strategies of people with dementia in their search for information as their condition evolves. This knowledge can be used to develop and improve person-centered information and support services for people with dementia so that they can more easily re-establish equilibrium and continue to engage in life.


In this paper a partly novel combination of auditory transformation and vowel-extrinsic normalisation is applied to acoustic vowel data from six Edinburgh middle-class speakers. It is shown that the vowel plots thus produced correspond rather well to articulatory and impressionistic descriptions found in the literature. Furthermore, the relatively small variability found between the speakers in a number of vowel features suggests that a typical middle-class Edinburgh vowel space does exist. However, it is also shown that in acoustic terms this vowel space is organised even less symmetrically than is generally assumed.

Elizabeth Cotton recommends this book to anyone curious about the politics and psychology of 'dirty protests' and 'defensive flatulence'.


Objective: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are widely recognized a major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the nursing intervention on cholesterol level and quality of life (QOL) among hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia. Methods: Design: A quasi -experimental pre-post-test design was used to achieve the aim of the study. The study was conducted in the University Hospital at Shebin El-kom District, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Purposeful sample of 100 hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia on treatment from the previous mentioned setting. Instruments: (1) structured interview questionnaire to assess socio-demographic data, risk factors of hypertension and dyslipidemia and patient's knowledge about hypertension and dyslipidemia; (2) Physiological measurement to assess blood pressure, weight and cholesterol level; (3) QOL scale to assess healthful lifestyle. Results: The main findings of the study there was statistically significant improvement of total knowledge related to hypertension and dyslipidemia, and there was statistically significant reduction in blood pressure and cholesterol level post-intervention than pre-intervention. Conclusions: The nursing intervention has a positive effect on blood pressure, cholesterol level and QOL of hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia. Recommendations: The nursing intervention that includes of adherence to diet regimen, prescribed medication and performing physical exercise, stress management, assertiveness training should be integrated into medical outpatient clinic to assist patients diagnosed with hypertension to cope with their illness and improve the QOL of hypertensive patients.


It is known that congruence lattices of pseudocomplemented semilattices are pseudocomplemented [4]. Many interesting properties of congruences on pseudocomplemented semilattices were described by Sankappanavar in [4], [5], [6]. Except for other results he described congruence distributive pseudocomplemented semilattices [6] and he characterized pseudocomplemented semilattices whose congruence lattices are Stone, i.e. belong to the variety B1 [5]. In this paper we give a partial solution to a more general question: Under what condition on a pseudocomplemented semilattice its congruence lattice is element of the variety Bn (n ' 2)? In the last section we widen the Sankappanavar's result to obtain the description of pseudocomplemented semilattices with relative Stone congruence lattices. A partial solution of the description of pseudocomplemented semilattices with relative (Ln)-congruence lattices (n ' 2) is also given.


The 's' parameters of microwave devices have been satisfactorily measured by the usual network analyzer for the last few decades. The principle of its operation requires a complex circuitry which has to convert tihe reference and test signals to an intermediate frequency while keeping the same phase and amplitude relation between them. This makes the equipment very complex and expensive especially at millimeter wavelengths. A cheaper and practical alternative for the network analyzer was introduced by Glenn Engen and Cletus Hoer in the 70's at the National Bureau of Standard, Colorado.


When asked what he thought of Western civilization, Mohandas Gandhi is reported to have replied that he thought it would be a good idea. How would a mathematician respond if asked about the mathematical basis of visualization ... and does the answer matter? Visualization occupies an important role in the pursuit of knowledge as the understanding of real world phenomena. From an external viewpoint, images assist mental processes like perception of spatial relationships, comprehension of complex time-varying behaviours, and detection of patterns. However, underlying the image are mathematical models of the world and its representation. Some of these models are obvious and relatively well-known; these include the calculi of scalar/vector/tensor spaces, the study of manifolds and homotopies. Others are (or at least their applicability to visualization) less well known: multivariate representation, infinite sequences, complex functions, and group theory which have all contributed novel insight into the nature of data and representation, or methods for transforming data into truth-preserving images. The key issues facing the visualization discipline from the "madness" of ever increasing dataset scale, to new challenges of visualizing multi-scale biological systems or huge volumes of streaming real-time data call for an improved understanding and appreciation of its underlying mathematics. Further, at a time when questions about the very core of the discipline, e.g. the relationship between information and scientific visualization, are being raised almost annually within the conference, it seems particular germane to stand back and review what is ultimately what could be the most abstract and neutral picture of visualization itself the mathematics world which ties together the notion of data and transformation.


The causes resulting in internal crack and non-metallic inclusion occured in 45# round steel were analyzed, and the preventive and treatment countermeasures established for steelmaking and continuous casting stage and its effects were introduced.


A series of SiO2 films with thickness range 1–600 nm have been deposited on crystal silicon (c-Si) substrates by electron beam evaporation (EBE) method. Variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) in combination with a two-film model (ambient-oxide-interlayer substrate) was used to determine the optical constants and thicknesses of the investigated films. The refractive indices of SiO2 films thicker than 60 nm are close to those of bulk SiO2. For the thin films deposited at the rate of ∼1.0 nm s−1, the refractive indices increase with decreasing thickness from ∼60 to ∼10 nm and then drop sharply with decreasing thickness below ∼10 nm. However, for thin films deposited at the rates of ∼0.4 and ∼0.2 nm s−1, the refractive indices monotonically increase with decreasing thickness below 60 nm. The optical constants of the ultrathin film depend on the morphology of the film, the stress exerted on the film, as well as the stoichiometry of the oxide film.


Travelling salesman problem is a NP complete problem and can be solved using approximation algorithm. It is a mi nimization problem starting and finishing at a specified vertex after having visited each other vertex exactly once. Often, the model is a complete graph. An algorithm that returns near-optimal solutions is called approximation algorithms. Through analyzing the Metric TSP the performance of approximation algorithm can be improved significantly using graphical analysis of spanning trees and depth first search and implementing a parallel algorithm/program to find a path with approximately minimum travelling cost. Keywords—Travelling Salesman Problem, approximation algorithm, Parallel Algorithms. I. Introduction Travelling salesman problem pred icts the shortest possible route to connect different cities based on given distances between each city. Here each city should be traversed only once and finally the person tracing the route should reach to the starting point of the journey with the minimal cost of the whole journey. Solving a TSP requires application of many graph algorith ms which are helpfu l in analysing the TSP and hence the in find ing the optimal solution of TSP. We call the solution optimal because TSP is a NP hard problem it means TSP cannot be solved in polynomial t ime that is, it is at least hard as hardest problem in NP (6). TSP is a challenge to the field of algorithms, many researches are going on to find the solution for TSP and hence for the set of NP hard problems. But optimal solutions can be found using algorith ms such as 1) Exponential Time A lgorith m 2) Pseudo Polynomial Time A lgorith m

Corruption in Iraq is the single largest factor undermining the credibility of the Iraqi government and the second most important factor threatening Iraq's national security. To date, corruption has developed unabated to a point where virtually every individual or company is making some form of payment to facilitate services that should be part of normal governmental administration. Foreigners make ―facilitation payments‖ for visas, registrations, licenses, etc., while Iraqis are forced to the black market for basic needs such as health care, electricity and education. In addition to the administrative corruption that persists at all levels of government, corruption in the form of contract fraud, embezzlement and black market oil have also siphoned tens of billions of dollars from the Iraqi government and have financed a multitude of nefarious activities around the world. Assigning blame for this situation is almost counter-productive at this stage. What is important, however, is understanding the modalities of corruption so that processes can be developed to counter this insidious scourge that is responsible for retarding economic development and stymies Iraq's entry into the international business community as an equal player.

Matsubara et al. have expressed concern that the application of sterile normal saline for post-partum hemorrhage during cesarean delivery can lead to endometrium damage and increased uterine contraction and can cause uterine rupture. In fact, we have been using and following up this method for the last five years. None of our patients suffered uterine rupture and such patients resumed normal menstruation. During this period, somewomen achieved successful delivery. Thus, we believe this method is safe and does not damage any organs or tissues. We preserve the ice blocks in the freezer and prepare them preoperatively if a patient has a high risk of hemorrhage. Additionally, when we removed the wrapper, there is already some water in the bag; the temperature of the ice block must be over 18°C, otherwise it will turn into an ice-water mixture. After cesarean section, we routinely observe and calculate vaginal bleeding. According to our observations, it usually takes 1–2 h for the 500 ml ice block to melt completely, and during this time the fluid discharged from the vagina is consistent and measurable, and then gradually decreases. Approximately 1–2 h later, little fluid is observed. Sometimes, small ice blocks re emitted. We also judge the total quantity of ice out of the uterus. When little vaginal bleeding occurs, we calculate whether the total volume of vaginal discharge is equal to 500 or 250 ml. Finally, your proposal of employing this method for peripartum hysterectomy is theoretical and a reasonable choice for decreasing the risk of hemorrhage. We will try it in our future clinical practice. Thank you for your letter and proposal.


Anaerobic digestion of solid organic waste has increase all over the world. In order to evaluate the biodegradability of different source wastes, Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) test has been widely used. However, BMP test has several important factors, e.g. substrate, inoculum, experimental and operational conditions that influence the results. Notwithstanding the higher number of studies concerning the BMP from different solid wastes the methodologies used, results presentation and discussion with different units makes it difficult to compare values. In the present work an extend literature review was made concerning the BMP tests methodologies most applied and the conditional factors. Also, the organic solid substrates were analysed in terms of solid contents. Despite the significant effort done in the last 10 years the BMP methodologies applied to organic solid substrate vary significantly. This fact is reflected in the biogas production from the substrates anaerobic digested and in consequence, the results diverge.

Professional Codes of Ethics serve to embody the commitments made by members of that profession. Such Codes are designed to guide ethical decision-making, yet they provide little assistance in the identification and resolution of ethical dilemmas. In the IS global arena, Codes of Ethics tend to be national in scope, thereby increasing the complexity of international decision-making for IS practitioners . Three major IS Codes of Ethics, each with different but overlapping in jurisdiction, are considered and compared in this paper. The Association for Computing Machinery, the Australian Computer Society, and the British Computer Society Codes of Ethics have much in common, but some significant areas of difference. To expedite this comparison process, a tool has been devised by mapping a grammatical model of ethical analysis onto a rich picture soft systems inspired IS model. The findings have implications for global IS ethics.


Male Great Bowerbirds Chlamydera nuchalis build a bower and pile decorations around it for courtship display. We tested the e#ect of the bower structure and amounts of decorations on the mating success of owner males in a population of C. n. nuchalis near Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. We collected data on measurements of bowers and mating success of individual owner males for 16 and 14 bowers in 2005 and 2006, respectively. We used five variables (avenue length, avenue width, wall thickness, bower height and degree of asymmetry) corresponding to the bower structure, and two variables (coverage (%) of green decorations and that of all decorations) corresponding to amounts of decorations as explanatory variables. An analysis of the generalized linear mixed model and model selection revealed that avenue length and wall thickness a#ected mating success positively, and that of avenue width, negatively. Avenue length and wall thickness correspond to the size of the bower, which suggests that a larger bower provides females with better protection from a vigorous male's display. A long and narrow avenue may provide a refuge for females from the harassment by an owner male. No variables corresponding to decorations were important for the mating success.


A low-resistance back contact for n-CdS/p-CdTe solar cells has been developed, which utilizes a thermally evaporated MoO x thin film as the buffer layer between the p-CdTe and the back electrode. The low-resistance behavior of back contact is attributed to the high work function of MoO x , which reportedly is as high as 6.8 eV, and thus adequately matches that of p-CdTe. With MoO x as the buffer, a variety of common metals, even those with a low work function such as Al, have been found to be useful as the electrode in forming the back contact. Other advantages of the MoO x buffer include dry application by vacuum deposition, and thus it is particularly suitable for the fabrication of ultra-thin CdTe solar cells without introducing additional shorting defects. Surface cleaning of CdTe films prior to MoO x deposition has also been studied. The cell stability has been evaluated through thermal annealing tests. Thermal degradation has been explained in terms of oxidation of the metal electrodes. CdTe cells with high efficiency and good stability have been demonstrated with MoO x as the back contact buffer and Ni as the electrode.


The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus is a public health emergency of international concern, without known effective pharmaceutical treatment so far. It is difficult to treat infected patients who are experiencing acute respiratory failure, liver or cardiac injury, gastroenteritis and many other complications without any drug recommendation. Reducing the viral load is the most important key for Covid-19 treatment, where complication due to infection is highly correlated with the number of viral particles present in the lung and other organs of the patient. Most antivirals are effective against a wide range of viruses, where they inhibit viral development. Some of the possible antiviral treatment options for COVID-19 could be discovered from flu viral treatment that had led to quick respiratory illness recovery through reduction of viral load and viral shedding.


This paper addresses the adaptive synchronization problem of Lorenz system even when its system structure is imprecise and some of its parameters are unknown. With only a single observable state, this is accomplished by a newly designed adaptive observer based on linear feedback control, where the estimated parameters are adaptively updated by some dynamical minimization algorithms. As illustrated with the numerical simulations, the observer's states can asymptotically synchronize with the targeted system, while the unknown parameters can be identified simultaneously in a fast convergence rate. Furthermore, the proposed observer is applied for providing the cryptanalysis of some Lorenz-based chaotic modulation communication systems. It is demonstrated that the covered messages can be easily estimated by such an adaptive attack. Hence, the securities of those systems are challenged. Keywords—Adaptive observer; adaptive synchronization; cryptanalysis; minimization algorithm; secure communica-

ABSTRACT Background: Cross-language generalisation has been reported in about half of all published cases of bilingual aphasia treatment. However, many of those studies report data from only single-word naming tasks. In unbalanced bilinguals with aphasia, treating the post-morbidly less proficient language may result in apparent improvement to only the treated language. Aims: To investigate whether when tools are used to measure language abilities beyond the single-word and sentence levels, such as analysing discourse production, improvement in the post-morbidly more proficient language may be observed. Methods & Procedures: A Hebrew-English bilingual person with mild-moderate non-fluent agrammatic aphasia was recruited. He received 36 h of Verb Network Strengthening Treatment (VNeST) in English only, with pre- and post- treatment assessment of his language abilities in both English and Hebrew. Outcome & Results: Significant improvement was observed in the treated language (English) for noun and verb retrieval in object and action picture naming and within sentence production, but not for the untreated language (Hebrew). In discourse, greater and more widespread improvement was observed in the untreated language (Hebrew) than in the treated language (English). Conclusions: We advocate for more wide-ranging measurement tools in the field to reduce the risk of missing valuable information regarding generalisation. Only with a more representative understanding of the effects of language treatment in bilinguals with aphasia can we better understand the mechanisms behind cross-language generalisation.


Objective To understand the epidemics of tuberculosis in Shijiazhuang and provide basis for formulating tuberculosis control measure.Method Analyze the epidemics of tuberculosis from 2005 to 2011 by descriptive epidemiological method.Results ① There were 39 621 new cases of active tuberculosis from 2005 to 2011,among which,23 314 cases were new smear positive tuberculosis.The incidence of new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis reduced from 36.17/100 000 in 2005 to 29.63/100 000 in 2011,with a decreasing trend.② The ratio of new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed by non-tuberculosis control agency increased from 14.43% in 2005 to 49.05% in 2011.③ The ratio between male and female of new active pulmonary tuberculosis was between 2.31∶ 1 and 3.78∶ 1.The ratio between male and female of new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis was between 2.27∶ 1 and 2.62∶ 1.④ Women between 15 and 24 years old had a higher incidence rate,and men between 55 and 64 years old had a higher incidence rate.⑤ On seeing the vocational distribution,the top three professions with the most new active pulmonary tuberculosis were farmer,student and workers.Conclusions We should adopt various propaganda ways,increase the funds of TB control in rural areas,pay attention to the popularization of TB control knowledge in school,so as to reach the propaganda effect,and reduce the incidence of tuberculosis.


The increasing number of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains presents an emerging world health problem that demands continued effort to develop new antibacterial compounds. Endogenous antibacterial peptides (ABPs) that are constitutively and/or inducibly produced in tissues exposed to external surroundings represent new candidates for devel- opment of such compounds. Most ABPs target bacterial membranes initially by electrostatic interactions between posi- tively charged amino acids and negatively charged molecules present on bacterial walls, followed by compromise of the permeability barrier of bacterial membranes through the formation of pores, leading to rapid cell death and efficient bacte- rial elimination. Other mechanisms, such as the inhibition of bacterial protein and DNA synthesis or receptor-mediated stimulation of host defense mechanisms are also ascribed to these molecules. The activities of ABPs correlate positively with a gradient of hydrophobicity along the peptide backbone, net positive charge at neutral pH, and secondary structure. More than 850 sequences with antibacterial activity have been described, and this number continues to grow with the ad- dition of newly discovered, as well as synthetic, peptides. Many strategies, including increasing net positive charge, in- creasing net hydrophobicity, conjugation of peptides with lipophilic acids, incorporation of carbonate bonds, and synthesis of their hybrids and truncated sequences that omit hemolytic regions, have been proposed to increase efficiency of syn- thetic ABPs. Additionally peptide-mimicking molecules such as cationic steroid antibiotics (CSAs) may be useful alterna- tives to natural ABPs. Current challenges for practical application of ABPs are the high cost of synthesis/isolation, inacti- vation by blood plasma, confinement by anionic polyelectrolytes, and possible unknown toxicity.


SOCIAL INNOVATION AS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF EUROPEAN DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES EU member states are undergoing the process of economic and demographic transformation with significant influence on society and economy. In order to respond to the existing and future challenges, it is necessary to adapt development strategies and policies, as well as to focus on concepts such as innovation, social change, equality and sustainable development. In the new development strategy, EU will focus on creating a society that will function as a competitive, secure and energy-efficient system. Scientists, economic policy makers, nongovernmental organisations and entrepreneurs are showing an increasing interest in the field of social innovation, striving to address a series of contemporary challenges. The aim of this paper is to study the role and ways of fostering social innovations in the European Union. The contribution of this paper is reflected in the systematic review of the importance of social innovation and the measures used to foster them, while pointing out the existing obstacles and needs and recommendations for further development of social innovation in the context of global challenges that the EU is facing. The results of the research indicate the growing importance of social innovation in modern EU policies that actively promote the quintuple helix approach, recognizing sustainable development and innovation as key development priorities during the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Recommendations for further development of social innovation in the EU include the need to coordinate various EU instruments in this area, encourage investment in innovative education, training and employment programs in this area, increase awareness of social innovation, encourage networking and dissemination of information and create an enabling environment for their development. Also, the paper highlights the shortcomings in the field of measuring social innovation, as well as the need to address this challenge, in order to improve the understanding of their role, but also a more efficient allocation of incentives to them. Key words: social innovation, European Union, strategic framework, development strategies.


I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with the awareness of—and glimpse into—the marvelous construction of the existing world together with the steadfast determination to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature. This is the basis of cosmic religiosity, and it appears to me that the most important function of art and science is to awaken this feeling among the receptive and keep it alive.


A method for register number estimation in unscheduled or partially scheduled dataflow graphs is presented. The strategy consists of studying the probability that an edge between two nodes crosses the boundary between two control steps, and its is based on a model that associates probabilities with the different scheduling alternatives of each node. These probabilities are computed by means of an analytic method that takes into account the distribution of operations in the dataflow graph and the hardware modules available in the library. The results highlight that the estimation method is very accurate becaused the error between the estimated value and the real value is always within a narrow margin.


The invention discloses Eu-doped high-silica glass and a preparation method thereof. The Eu-doped high-silica glass is high-silica glass distributed with at least one of Eu3+ and Eu2+. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: preparing a soaking solution containing at least one of Y3+ and Gd3#, and vanadium ions and the Eu3+, a soaking solution containing at least one of the Y3+ and the Gd3#, and the Eu3 + or a soaking solution containing the Eu3+, and then placing high-silica nano microporous glass in the soaking solution for soaking at least 10 minutes; gradually raising the temperature of the soaked high-silica nano microporous glass to 1100-1300 DEG C for sintering 1-5 hours to prepare the Eu-doped high-silica glass. The glass has the advantages of good stability, thermal shock resistance, high excited transmissivity and wide range of application, and can generate blue light, red light or blue and light mixed light for emission under the excitation of ultraviolet light. The preparation method has the advantages of simple process, convenient and reliable operation and stable quality of a product.


Concerns behavior-based system modelling. In this paper, the relationship between complete behaviors decomposition and the solvability of certain two-sided diophantine equations is explored. More precisely, the possibility of expressing a complete behavior as a direct sum of two subbehaviors, one of which has been chosen a priori, proves to be equivalent to the solvability of a particular two-sided Bezout equation, while, more generally, decompositions with specific intersections of the two subbehaviors are related to the solvability of diophantine equations with suitable constant terms.


Rainbow trout (family Salmonidae, Oncorhynchus mykiss) were acclimated to 5° and 20° C for 4 wk. The acclimatory response of the C-start (fast-escape swimming) and the molecular, biochemical, and contractile properties of fast-twitch muscle were investigated. With peptide mapping, no change was noted in the expression of myosin heavy chains in fast-twitch muscles with thermal acclimation. The myofibrillar ATPase activity of fast-twitch muscle isolated from individuals of each acclimation group was determined at 5° and 20° C The activity of myofibrillar ATPase was highly temperature dependent (Q10 = 2.9). Acclimation temperature had no significant effect on ATPase activity measured at 5° or 20° C The thermal stability of the myofibrillar ATPase, however, was significantly increased following a period of acclimation to a higher temperature. Fast-twitch muscle contraction time (force onset to 50% relaxation) decreased from 32 ms to 12 ms with an acute change in temperature from 5° to 20° C (Q10 = 1.9). Acclimation to low temperature resulted in only a small increase in twitch contraction speed (11%). After specimens were exposed to either 5° or 20° C, C-starts were elicited at both acclimation temperatures. The linear speed (m/s) and angular velocity (degrees/s) attained by the fish at each temperature were both temperature-dependent (Q10 = 1.2). The total distance moved in 40 ms and the angular velocity of the fish at 20° C increased slightly (24% and 15%, respectively) following a period of acclimation to the higher temperature. Acclimation temperature had no statistically significant effect on maximum linear velocity. Thus, trout are capable of only minor acclimatory adjustments in response to exposure to high temperature. Further, it appears that this acclimatory response has not been facilitated by the differential expression of temperature-specific myofibrillar protein isoforms, as has been previously found in other polyploid fish species.


In the first quarter of the twentieth century, free verse seemed to have swept the field, even though the worst of it was lacking in artistry and failed to engage the emotions. But the 1980s saw the emergence of a group of alternative American poets interested in such things as meter and rhyme. These poets meant to create a poetry that reinvigorated traditional forms and pleased the ear, and they also insisted on poetry's deep seriousness. Those embracing this new formalism called their movement the New Expansive Movement in Poetry. Expansive Poetry has not created the stir that the earlier Beats and Confessional Poets did, as one of their number, R. S. Gwynn, acknowledges, but in their quiet way they have prospered (Gwynn 9). Magazines devoted to formalist poetry—The Formalist, Janus, and Sparrow—have emerged, and anthologies have featured these poets.1 One of these poets is Mississippi writer Jack Butler,2 and his poem "Attack of the Zombi Poets"3 is itself an attack on those wayward poets representing the antithesis of formalism. The poem clarifies what prompted the new formalists to form themselves into a movement. "Attack of the Zombi Poets" issues a formal complaint against the dead-on-arrival poetry produced by the multitude of bad freeverse poets who seemed to be taking over America in 1984 when the poem was first published in The Atlantic.4 Butler employs the term "zombi" to emphasize these poets' diminished consciousness: they lack the lively insights that traditionally have attached emotion to the things of this world, and they have cut themselves off from the poetic traditions that have ordered those connections for generations. His attack on these walking-dead "poets" consists of nineteen stanzas of comic irony in which he establishes their ubiquity, then their extensive efforts to promote themselves, and finally their absurd inadequacy as poets. The title "Attack of the Zombi Poets" sounds like the title of a horror film, such as "Attack of the Beast Creatures," "Attack of the Flesh Devouring Space Worms from Outer Space," "The Zombie Army," or "Zombie Massacre." What seems to be a film of a poem opens with the statement "One morning they were everywhere"—an expression repeated in stanza 15 (where the speaker, with hyperbolic irony, surmises that some "mycological cycle had hit apex," suggesting that these poets exist on a fungal level, multiplying by spreading their spores on "the wind [that] blew emptily under the empty sky"5). Then, as though the speaker is operating a movie camera, the poem focuses on individual clusters of zombie poets in "the lawn / the cafeterias, the swimming pools." We see them at parties, where they chatter "on and on" inanely, and finally they extend their everybody-is-a-poet conceit to include children (1). Indeed, the recruitment of children to their ranks is one of the ways of keeping their ranks flush. Therefore, "They taught the little children poetry-in-the-schools" (1). It is not just that the


Driven by the abundant data generated from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, machine learning (ML) methods surpass the deterministic criteria on flow phenomena identification in the way that they are independent of a case-by-case threshold by combining the flow field properties and the topological distribution of the phenomena. The current most popular and successful ML models based on convolutional neural networks are limited to structured meshes and unable to directly digest the data generated from unstructured meshes, which are more widely used in real industrial CFD simulations. We proposed a framework based on graph neural networks with the proposed fast Gaussian mixture model as the convolution kernel and U-Net architecture to detect flow phenomena based on a graph hierarchy generated by the algebraic multigrid method embedded in the open-source CFD solver, code_saturne. We demonstrate the superiority of the proposed kernel and U-Net architecture, along with the generality of the framework to unstructured mesh and unseen case, on detecting the vortices once trained on a single backward-facing step case. Our proposed framework can be trivially extended to detect more flow phenomena in three dimensional cases, which is ongoing work.


with severe progressive weakness and cardiac problems such as shortened PR interval, broad, wide QRS complex, cardiomegaly, left ventricular outflow obstruction, and cardiomyopathy. Although the nonsevere phenotype in the index patient fits more into the nonclassic infantile-onset form of Pompe disease with the absence of cardiac problems, the reasons for undetectable enzyme levels remain unclear.


In the 1990's, the overwhelming voice of the research on 《Monkey King》 was from Li Angang. His well decorated Cultural Research of 《 Monkey King》, which was concentrated around the "Jindan Tao", argued that 《Monkey King》was a book for proof of the Tao and this brought forth a sequence of dazzling topics and numerous specious results. However, these so-called cultural results are in fact based totally on hisown imagination, are not testable at all; the so-called research methods, which ware concealed under Yinyang, Bagua, Wuxing and Shengke etc by grafting one twig on another, are merely his tease of the science.


In human history ,there were four dissimilations in the development of relationships between man and earth. The fourth is being brought on by the information revolution .The information revolution gives human beings a chance to solve social and environmental problems resulted from the last century industrialization. The paper suggests a theory for a sustainable and harmonious development of man and earth.


At present sequential minimal optimization (SMO) algorithm is a very efficient method for training support vector machines (SVM). However, the training speed of SMO is very slow for the large-scale datasets. Analyzing the varieties of the objective function in SMO iterations, we propose a novel improved SMO algorithm in this paper, where the changed value of the objective function is taken as the termination condition. Experiments on several benchmark datasets have been done and the results show that the training time of the proposed algorithm is reduced greatly, especially for the large-scale problems.


The German government will start what it describes as the most extensive e-health communication project in the world next year, a spokesperson from the health ministry has announced.

From 1 January 2006 all 72 million customers of the health insurance companies in Germany, which give access to state health care, should be using a "health card" with a microchip when they see a doctor, attend a clinic, or buy a drug. It will replace the present membership …


We present data demonstrating that the electric field components of low-frequency (⩽1Hz) precursory electric signals exhibit markedly different time evolutions. This difference, if properly measured, upon considering that the electromagnetic fields obey diffusion-type equations, is of profound importance since it can reveal the distance of the measuring site from the epicenter of the impending earthquake.


The lingering memory of the 1997 Asian Financial crisis coupled with the successful establishment of the European Union in 1999 with the common currency namely the Euro has triggered a great deal of research interest on the optimality of ASEAN as a Common Currency Area. A meta-Analysis of studies focusing on East Asia and ASEAN is examined in this paper to garner evidence in support or otherwise of the feasibility of the formation of the ASEAN Monetary Union (AMU). The results based on the Meta- Analysis of the supply and demand shock correlations basically indicate a two speed monetary integration for ASEAN-5 with Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia taking the fast lane while Philippines and Thailand can take the slow lane.


Abstract We show that stochastic compactness of partial sums with no normal limit distribution corresponds to stochastic compactness of the point processes generated by the observations so that there exist joint limit distributions for the sample sums and the sample maxima.


The superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have great potential in therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Due to their superparamagnetic behavior, they are used clinically as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agent. Iron oxide nanoparticles are also recognized todays as smart drug-delivery systems. However, to increase their specificity, it is essential to functionalize them with a molecule that effectively targets a specific area of the body. Among the molecules that can fulfill this role, peptides are excellent candidates. Oligonucleotides are recognized as potential drugs for various diseases but suffer from poor uptake and intracellular degradation. In this work, we explore four different strategies, based on the electrostatic interactions between the different partners, to functionalize the surface of SPIONs with a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide (ODN) and a cationic peptide labeled with a fluorophore. The internalization of the nanoparticles has been evaluated in vitro on RAW 264.7 cells. Among these strategies, the "«one-step assembly»", i.e., the direct complexation of oligonucleotides and peptides on iron oxide nanoparticles, provides the best way of coating for the internalization of the nanocomplexes.

On each of the resulted base principles of constructing the examples of his practical realization are presented as industrial prototypes of constructions of aerials


Summary Clean GaAs (001) and InP (001) surfaces-were obtained through ion milling under an ultra-vacuum. Utilizing the molecular spray epitaxy technique and by means of arsenic or phosphorus adsorption, these surfaces were created with different compositions which are more or less rich in arsenic or phosphorus. Thus, these surfaces have characteristic structures which differ from those of the bulk material. Low-energy electron diffraction reveals up to eight dif ferent superstructures. The electronic <surface state caused by broken bonds was studied through low-energy electron spectroscopy. It was concluded that there is an absence of energy level surface states located within the semiconductor forbidden band. Consequently, the existence of a Schottky barrier in a metal/GaAs orj metal/InP contact cannot be attributed to intrinsic semiconductor surface states. In situ metallization experimentson surfaces with different com positions (clean or oxidized) caused Schottky contacts whose barriers


In this paper it is described how MHP interactive applications can be used to provide access services for people with disabilities in digital television. These capabilities have been exploited in a research project to create a subtitle application for the deaf and hard of hearing people and an accessible electronic program guide for blind people.


This article is based on a secondary analysis of non-responses (NR) and "don't know" (DK)-responses in two French surveys on sexual behaviour. The analysis is situated within a problem framework focusing on dissociating the respondent's ignorance concerning an experience or knowledge of a behaviour and the way they are measured by means of DKs and NRs. First, the specificity and diversity of the information collected in these surveys is described. Then the plurality of signification of non-responses (ignorance, embarrassment, selective amnesia) and of DKs is compared and the role of each type of response in the exploitation of survey data discussed. The article ends with a plea in favour of a qualitative approach to such responses in quantitative surveys.


The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory has sponsored research to determine the cost benefit relationships for Army housing construction noise abatement. Before these cost benefit relationships could be obtained, realistic analytical models of construction site noise emissions were developed. The models were compared with noise measurements of construction activity at Fort Hood, Texas. Data comparing the construction noise model with noise measurements for different phases of construction are presented and discussed. The construction noise models are used together with proposed acceptability criteria to quantify the degree of noise abatement required at Fort Hood, Texas. Data were obtained and are presented for the costs of various construction equipment and site noise abatement methods required to achieve property‐line or noise‐sensitive land‐use criteria sound levels. Preliminary noise‐abatement cost benefit relationships are presented.


Thin flakes of titanium dioxide have been synthesized through a novel route via exfoliation of a layered precursor. A protonic oxide of HxTi2-x/4□ x/4O4·H2O (x ∼ 0.7; □, vacancy) was delaminated into colloidal single sheets (thickness 0.75 nm) by being interacted with a bulky organic amine, (C4H9)4NOH. The resulting titania sol was freeze-dried to produce a gel in a thin filmlike texture. The gelation took place by reassembling 10−20 titanate sheets and consequently yielding lamellar aggregates. Upon heating above 400 °C, the gel was transformed into titanium dioxide (anatase) in thin flaky morphology (20−30 nm in thickness versus ∼μm in the lateral dimension). Intermediates at various stages of the synthetic process as well as the final product were examined by applying various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM, TEM), FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies, thermogravimetry, and elemental analysis. The flaky particulates were aggregat...


Studies indicate that NOS1 is necessary for proper sodium balance and subsequent blood pressure regulation. We developed collecting duct principle cell‐specific NOS1 knockout (CDNOS1KO) mice using the AQP2‐CRE/LoxP system and found that these mice display a salt‐dependent hypertensive phenotype. We hypothesized that NOS1 in the collecting duct (CD) may regulate the trafficking of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) such that CDNOS1KO mice will have greater expression of plasma membrane ENaC in the kidney than flox control mice. Plasma membrane and vesicle fractions from the renal inner medulla of CDNOS1KO and flox control mice were prepared by differential centrifugation and ENaCαβγ expression determined by Western blot analysis. We found a significant increase of ENaCα in the plasma membrane of CDNOS1KO mice (2.0 ± 0.4 RDU/actin, n=4) when compared to flox (1.0 ± 0.2 RDU/actin, n=4, p=0.04). ENaCβγ expression was similar in the plasma membrane from both genotypes as it was for all three subunits in the vesicle fraction. We found that amiloride (3 mg/kg/day ip) significantly lowered the blood pressure in CDNOS1KO on a 4% salt diet (4% salt: 144±2 mmHg; 4% salt + amiloride: 135±0.8 mmHg, n=4, p=0.02). No effects of amiloride on blood pressure were noted in the flox control mice. We conclude that the absence of CD NOS1 leads to an increase of ENaCα in the plasma membrane and may lead to subsequent salt‐sensitive hypertension.


The aim of Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC) is to achieve the same security level as RSA but with shorter key size. The basic operation in the ECC is scalar multiplication which is an expensive operation. In this paper, we focus on optimizing ECC scalar multiplication based on Non-Adjacent Form (NAF). A new algorithm is introduced that combines an Add-Subtract Scalar Multiplication Algorithm with NAF representation to accelerate the performance of the ECC calculation. Parallelizing the new algorithm shows an efficient method to calculate ECC. The proposed method has speed up the calculation up to 60% compared with the standard method.


Purpose – The purpose of this article is to see how companies from different fields try to cope with the consequences of the economic crisis.Design/methodology/approach – Managerial approaches were analyzed. Members of the top management teams in 15 enterprizes were interviewed.Findings – The macro and micro environments of these firms were found to be very similar, but the decisions they were making were very different. It was found that the differences in strategic approaches could be explained mostly by the attitudes and values of the top management team.Originality/value – The author uses her experience in research on relationships among organisational learning, innovation, managerial values and business to describe the key differences of the two companies, who are both Hungarian owned.


Because today's college student tends to watch less TV than most other consumer segments, marketers' attempts to reach this somewhat elusive segment often lead to the use of campus newspapers and magazines and/or other campus based promotional activities. The survey results reporled in this manuscript show that a large number of college students do indeed watch TV, and that some of the shows popular among college students are not among usual "prime-time" programming. The results of this study would suggest that given the right media schedule TV may provide a cost effective medium for reaching the college student market after all.


To obtain sufficient observation data and simulate higher-precision crop yields, a crop yield simulation scheme was built based on the WOrld FOod STudies (WOFOST) crop growth model and a 4-D ensemble square root filter (4-DEnSRF) assimilation algorithm, and the time series of the leaf area index (LAI) retrieved by optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) networking data was introduced into the crop yield estimation scheme. Taking Shenzhou County, Hebei Province, as the study area, using the field-measured data as verification data, the regional application of winter wheat yield estimation was effectively carried out with a grid size of 500 m. Comparisons were made between the simulated yields based on different networked data of three key phenologies of winter wheat. The regional yield estimation results revealed an $R^{2}$ and normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) between the simulated yield based on optical LAIs and the field-measured yield of 0.517 and 17.60%, respectively, while the $R^{2}$ and NRMSE between the simulated yield based on networked optical-SAR LAIs filtered by the Gaussian filtering algorithm (GFA) and the field-measured yield were 0.573 and 12.98%, respectively. From the comparisons between the simulated yields based on networked data of different combinations of key phenologies, the $R^{2}$ and NRMSE between the simulated yield based on the introduced SAR LAI at the jointing stage and the field-measured yield were 0.437 and 21.49%, respectively, and were higher correlation among the three modes of networked data of different combinations of key phenologies. The winter wheat yield simulation results showed that the introduction of SAR LAIs at key crop growth stages (especially the jointing and booting stage) as outer observation data had a mild impact on the value of simulated winter wheat yield. Moreover, Gaussian filtering could reduce errors caused by multisource networked data to a certain extent. Thus, it can be concluded that using some radar images instead of optical images to retrieve LAI and assimilating multisource remotely sensed LAI into the crop model to simulate crop yield could enhance the reliability and robustness of the crop yield simulation system to some extent.


t is well known that a fibrillating left atrium is the site of thrombus formation and acts as a major supply source of thromboemboli in cerebral ischemic attacks.1–4 It is also known that the left ventricle is the site of thrombus formation in a post-infarction state.5 There have been many case reports on left ventricular thrombi (LVT) in other categories of heart disease such as peripartal cardiomyopathy,6 idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM),7 acute myocarditis (AM),8 and antiphospholipid syndrome,9 and they cause cerebral embolism.10,11 However, the exact incidence of LVT in various categories of heart disease is not well known due to the lack of systematic surveys. Non-contrast echocardiography (UCG),5 contrast UCG,5,12 computed tomography,13 magnetic resonance imaging,5,12 and left ventriculography have been used for the detection of LVT in left atrial thrombi or pulmonary thromboemboli.14,15 Although large globular thrombi can be detected, small-sized mural thrombi are difficult to detect using these imaging modalities. Furthermore, because the shadows of the targets are imaged, definite determination of thrombi is beyond these imaging modalities. Therefore, thrombus characteristics, namely whether the thrombi are fresh or organized, or red blood cell-rich or platelet-rich, which might influence the selection of the therapeutic modality, are difficult to determine with these imaging modalities. Cardioscopy, specially fiberoptic angioscopy of the heart, is a high resolution imaging modality that enables macroscopic pathological diagnosis of heart diseases. This technique was applied for observation of the cardiac chambers and valves and abnormal intracardiac structures, including LVT.16–19 In the present study, percutaneous cardioscopy was performed to examine the incidence of LVT in patients with various types of heart diseases, and to compare the detection sensitivities among cardioscopy, left ventriculography, noncontrast UCG, and contrast UCG.


The developing process of a cyclone over the Yellow Sea is simulated with the numerical model MM5. The model output are demonstrated using visual software, LiveView, which is a five dimension visualization system for large data sets. Using this visual system, the authors are able to study the dry intrusion of air flows from the lower stratosphere and to analyze the reason of its occurrence and its effects on such a fast developing cyclone in detail. Horizontal and vertical cross sections are presented to reveal the thermal and kinetic structures of the dry intrusion. Air parcel motions during the dry intrusion are extensively studied with the technique of trajectory analysis. The mechanism of the occurrence of the dry intrusion and its connection with the cyclone development are discussed. The results suggest that dry intrusion is an important factor in influencing on this cyclone development.

The workforce is aging rapidly. When employees begin retiring in droves, many companies will face severe talent shortages. Managers need to pinpoint now where critical gaps will open - and prepare a strategy for closing them.


Silvicultural management is one of the determinants of forest productivity. Failures in silvicultural operations can cause significant losses in productivity to the stand. A monitoring system for identifying the operational quality at a large scale proves to be essential in minimizing the frequency of these failures. Therefore, the objective of the study was to propose a methodology for monitoring silvicultural quality using a forest inventory network. Two steps were performed: i) Determination of the optimal interval of uniformity (IOU) and ii) Apply the silvicultural quality monitoring methodology using a uniformity index which represents the accumulated volume in the smallest 50% of the planted trees (PV50) in an inventory plot. In the first stage we used five clonal tests of Eucalyptus with different levels of productivity to standardize the Optimum Range of Uniformity (IOU). In the second stage, the concept was applied on a commercial scale in a network of forest inventory plots installed in 12,000 hectares of plantations of a single clone of Eucalyptus urophylla in northeastern state of São Paulo, approximately 2 years old, and planted from 1995 to 2009. 1Doutorando em Recursos Florestais.

Hakamada et al. – Uso do inventário florestal e da uniformidade entre árvores como ferramenta de monitoramento da qualidade silvicultural em plantios clonais de eucalipto 28 Sci. For., Piracicaba, v. 43, n. 105, p. 27-36, mar. 2015 There was no statistical difference in uniformity index PV50 among clonal tests despite their different productivities, showing that the uniformity index can be generalized, independent of the productive capacity of the site. The IOU of PV50 was from 37 to 50%, i.e., sample plots that have the PV50 within this range may be considered satisfactorily uniform. In the application phase, we observed a strong evolution of PV50 over time. In plantations established in 1995 the average rate was 29% and rose to 42% in 2009, accompanied by a change in silvicultural management over the years. The methodology was adequate to monitor forests on a commercial scale through uniformity indices using the network of continuous inventory.


This paper analyzes the uncertainty in the measurement of 50-Hz current on high voltage overhead conductors by means of low-cost magnetic field sensors (inductive coils) located at the electric clearance from the conductors. It is assumed that no external magnetic field sources exist in the vicinity. Expanded uncertainty associated with the measurement of current under a single-phase system is evaluated. The results are validated in a lab setup. A single sensor is considered first, followed by the case of 3 sensors. In this last case, due to the redundancy the least squares method is applied to reduce the uncertainty of the measurement.


In this case report, acute methomyl poisoning in dogs is described by pathological and toxicological findings for the first time in Turkey. Five of the thirty stray dogs that were found dead within 1-2 days after eating the foodstuffs in an industrial area in Konya were necropsied. Grossly, undigested pieces of chicken meat with a mild insecticidal smell in stomach of all dogs were found and toxicological analysis by GC-MS revealed toxic levels of methomyl in the stomach contents (15.7-17.8 ppm) and, intestines, livers and kidneys (1.2-2.9 ppm) also. In addition, histopathologically degenerative and necrotic changes were observed in liver, brain, lung, kidneys and gastrointestinal system mucosa. Postmortem and histopathological examinations and toxicological analyses revealed that deaths were related to methomyl poisoning and it has been subsequently learned from the police officers and printed media that this poison had been deliberately infected to dog food for the purpose of theft committed in the industrial area. Publishing these intentional poisoning events, we have wanted to draw attention to that more serious measures and statutory regulations should be taken by governments about animal rights.


Greening disease was maintained in seedlings of sweet orange previously infected by psylla in the glasshouse. The disease was identified from leaf and fruit symptoms, from the general growth of the trees ( I I ) , and by indexing budwood from affected trees on seedlings of sweet orange, Kagzi lime, and grapefruit (4). Later, only sweet orange was used because it consistently gave a typical reaction to the greening disease. Seedlings were raised inside a glasshouse, and selected nucellar seedlings were transplanted individually in 15-cm earthen pots. Testing was done by budding, shoot grafting, or by leafpatch grafting (15). Bark extracts of several plants were also examined for fluorescent-marker substance by the method described by Schwarz (12,13). For sap inoculation, young, diseased leaves of sweet orange were homogenized with 10 per cent sucrose in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.6 (5) . Leaves were frozen for four hours before grinding with 50 mg of activated charcoal to every 10 gm of leaves. Inoculum was kept cool in crushed ice until the inoculations were completed. LaflPche and BovC (10) observed mycoplasmalike bodies in sieve tubes of greenhouse-grown sweet orange seedlings affected with greening, and concluded that it is most probably caused by a mycoplasmalike organism. The data in this paper pertain to the Deccan Trap Country, and include studies of etiology, spread, host range, and relationship with the psyllid vector.


This researh aims to detect the presence of histamine by forming complex compounds of 5-fluorouracil, Mn (II) metal ions and alizarin red S reagents. This type of research is a laboratory experiment. This research was conducted at the Ikip Chemistry Laboratory in 2019. The results showed that the Test Kit that was made could be used to detect the presence of histamine determining the existence of histamine qualitatively viewable color formed based on complex compounds of  Mn(II)-His-5FU-ARS seen from the shift in wavelength of maximum generated.. The making of the histamine test kit is made by varying the concentration of 10-100 ppm at 10 ppm   intervals under optimum conditions and can be used to make a color comparator solution. Then  the method validity test is done by making a standard histamine curve that gives a regression equation  y = 0.001x + 0.3364 with a correlation coefficient (r 2 ) = 0.9972. Based on the validity test method, the accuracy value is in the range of  95.0-106% and the results of the test kit on tuna samples indicate that the histamine test kit made has a good accuracy value because the average recovery value is 96%.

Unlike 'D Day', 15 February 1971, when there was a changeover to a decimal system of currency, there is no 'M Day', by which time industry must be prepared to go metric. It is therefore entirely up to individual firms to decide when they will go metric, and how long a period of time they will allow to enable metrication to be phased in. Nevertheless, it is expected that the bulk of British industry will have voluntarily adopted metric working by the end of 1975. In general, the decision will undoubtedly be influenced by customers' requirements on the one hand, and by the suppliers of raw materials and tools on the other. In some cases, however, firms may be prompted to change by the Port of London Authority's insistence on marking export orders in metric units. Whatever the motivation, once the decision has been taken one of the foremost items in any metrication programme must be that of training, which immediately raises the questions: • who will need training? • when will they need training? • how will they be trained? • to what extent?
