Spin polarized states in nuclear matter with Skyrme effective forces are studied on the base of a Fermi liquid theory for a wide range of isospin asymmetries and densities. There are a few possible scenarios of spin ordered phase transitions: (a) nuclear matter with SLy4 interaction undergoes at some critical density a phase transition to a spin polarized state with the oppositely directed spins of neutrons and protons; (b) for SkI5 interaction, a spin polarized state with the like-directed neutron and proton spins is formed; (c) nuclear matter with SkI3 interaction under increasing density, at first, undergoes a phase transition to the state with the opposite directions of neutron and proton spins, which goes over at larger density to the state with the same direction of nucleon spins. Spin polarized states at strong isospin asymmetry are accompanied by the long tails in the density profiles of the neutron spin polarization parameter near the critical density, if the energy gain of the transition from the nonpolarized state to a polarized one is the decreasing function of isospin asymmetry (SLy4 force). If the energy gain is increased with isospin asymmetry, there are no long tails in the density distribution of the neutronmore » spin polarization parameter (SkI3, SkI5 forces)« less


The aim of this work is to establish new random common fixed points for pair of mappings satisfying generalized weakly contrac- tive conditions in the setting of complete metric spaces. 1. Introduction and preliminaries During the last fifty years there have been so many exciting developments in the field of random operator theory. Probabilistic functional analysis is an important mathematical discipline because of its applications to probabilis- tic models in applied problems. Random operator theory is needed for the study of various classes of random equations. The theory of random fixed point theorems was initiated by the Prague school of probabilistic in the 1950s. The interest in this subject enhanced after publication of the survey paper by Bharucha Reid (6). Random fixed point theory has received much attention in recent years. The Banach contraction mapping principle is one of the pivotal results of analysis. It is widely considered as the source of metric fixed point theory. Also its significance lies in its vast applicability in a number of branches of mathematics. Generalization of the aforesaid principle has been a heavily investigated branch of research. In particular, obtaining the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for self-maps on a metric space by altering distances between the points with the use of a control function is an interesting aspect. In this direction, Khan et al. (10) addressed a new category of fixed point problems for a single self-map with the help of a control function that alters distance between two points in a metric space which they called an altering distance function.


The authors deal with optimal microphone placement and gain for a linear one-dimensional array often in a confined environment. A power spectral dispersion function (PSD) is used as a core element for a min-max objective function (PSDX). Derivation of the optimal spacings and gains of the microphones is a hard computational problem since the min-max objective function exhibits multiple local minima (hundreds or thousands). The authors address the computational problem of finding the global optimal solution of the PSDX function. A new method, stochastic region contraction (SRC), is proposed. It achieves a computational speedup of 30-50 when compared to the commonly used simulated-annealing method. SRC is ideally suited for coarse-gain parallel processing. >


For Pt. III see ibid vol.2, No.3, (1969) 354-64. Studies of muon showers deep underground by the Utah group have stimulated an extension of the previous calculations of the present authors into the region covered by the underground experiment: viz. muon threshold energies of the order of 1000 gev and zenith angles in the region of 60 degrees . The effect of varying some of the more important parameters of the high- energy nucleon-air-nucleus collision has been examined, and it is concluded that a multiplicity law of the form Ep1/4 is preferred to an Ep1/2 law and that there is no evidence for a significantly greater mean transverse momentum than the value of 0.4 Gev/c, which relates to the parents of muons of lower energy. An increase in the fraction of kaons generated with increasing nucleon energy is not favoured. Concerning the mass spectrum of the primary particles, there is some support for the contention that the primaries above 1015 ev are largely protons, but none for the conclusion of Grigorov et al. in 1967 that the proportion of heavy nuclei commences to increase at 1012 ev. However, a problem that affects all the conclusions is that significantly fewer multiple events are observed than expected.


We have arrived at the twenty-first century riding the whirlwind of the telecommunications revolution and we are stunned by the high levels of investment in genetic research. However just like centuries ago women are still dying from complications related to the reproduction of the human species. Thats right. This is not even exclusively a feminine issue but it seems to be considered so in most countries-which is why it is tainted by the discrimination and lack of attention that other womens rights issues also suffer. The Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) announced in September 2002 that "the leading causes of death among women of childbearing age are still complications during pregnancy and birth." This means that foreseeable problems related to age-old processes like pregnancy and birthing top the list of causes of death among women between the ages of 15 and 49 in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The invention applies to combine frame of stream A before first cut-off point with the frame of stream B after second cut-off point to form material stream C. It consists of controller, decoder, re-encoder and integrator. The controller decides the frame requiring re-encode and reservation, and sets a middle buffer value, an initial value and an ending value. The decoder decodes the frame requiring re-encode. The re-encoder re-encodes the decoded frame to make the last frame in data stream B have same value with ending value after passing through buffer. The integrator integrates re-encode frame with reserved frame to form material stream C.


where da is rotation invariant Lebesgue measure on 35n. We say that F G H°°(Bn) if sup^Bn\F(z)\ < oo. If F G H (BJ for 0 < p ^ oo, then F has radial limits F*(f) almost everywhere on 3BW with respect to da. Moreover, if 1 ^ p < oo, F(rf) converges in L to F*(f ).

Purpose – Little research to date has investigated how firm experience and industry experience in related inter‐organizational systems (IOS) affect the adoption of open IOS. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue.Design/methodology/approach – Based on large‐scale archival data from European countries, logistic regression was used to test the research model.Findings – It was found that firm experience in EDI and experience in proprietary IOS positively affect the adoption of open IOS; industry experience in EDI and experience in proprietary IOS have a negative effect on the adoption of open IOS; and industry experience in open IOS has a positive effect on the adoption of open IOS.Research limitations/implications – One main limitation is that the measures of the variables are based on single‐item and dichotomic scales. Also, this study only focused on the industry level and alternative explanations for the results have not been ruled out. The main implication is that IOS experience at firm and ...


The indications for duct‐to‐duct (DD) biliary reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for small children are still controversial. In this study, the feasibility of DD biliary reconstruction versus Roux‐en‐Y (RY) biliary reconstruction was investigated in terms of long‐term outcomes. Fifty‐six children who consecutively underwent LDLT with a weight less than or equal to 10.0 kg were enrolled. Biliary reconstruction was performed in a DD fashion for 20 patients and in an RY fashion for 36 patients. During a minimum follow‐up of 2 years, the incidence of biliary strictures was 5.0% in the DD group and 11.1% in the RY group. Cholangitis during the posttransplant period was observed in the RY group only. There were no deaths related to biliary problems. This study shows that DD reconstruction in LDLT for small children (weighing 10.0 kg or less) is a feasible option for biliary reconstruction. Liver Transpl 20:347‐354, 2014. © 2014 AASLD.


People's Business Credit (KUR) is a Credit / Financing scheme specifically for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Cooperatives whose businesses are feasible but do not have sufficient collateral required by the bank (unbankable). The research objective was to analyze the Effect of People's Business Credit (KUR) Distribution, Interest Rates on Financial Performance of Regional Development Banks Through Non-Performing Loans (NPL) and Operating Costs and Operating Revenues (BOPO) and analyze the differences in financial performance of Regional Development Banks before and after becoming KUR distribution Bank. The sample used in this study is the Regional Development Bank in Java, which has been incorporated in the KUR Distribution Bank in 2008, namely BPD in Yogyakarta, BPD East Java and BPD DKI Jakarta. The observation used data from the Regional Development Bank for the period 2005-2015. The results of the credit distribution and interest rates in the KUR distribution did not have a significant impact on the NPL and BOPO and showed that there were no better significant differences in the financial performance variables in the years BPD became the KUR distributor. The result recommends BPD to continue distributing KUR.


The aim of the paper is to review the economic development of those countries that recently adopted the Euro and to point out possible consequences when nominal convergence is given higher priority than real convergence of an economy. This paper primarily focuses on a comparison of real and nominal convergence within the accession process to the European monetary union. It stresses the unsuitable convergence process and underestimation of the importance of real convergence in the case of two new member states. Conclusion of this paper contains a decision, whether joining the euro area has been beneficial for these two countries. The two economies taken under review were Slovenia and Slovakia, which adopted single European currency at the beginning of 2007, resp. 2009. The issue of real and nominal convergence is crucial for countries joining the euro area. But there is a problem by assigning level of importance to the individual types of convergence criteria. Successful joining this monetary area requires complete fulfillment of five nominal convergence criteria that combine both monetary and fiscal elements. These criteria should prevent from Euro adoption in those countries, whose fiscal or (and) monetary performance could negatively influence the working of the Euro-area. But the problem that might not be seen at first glance is that there isn't any part of review process, which would deal with the question of how the joining country has come to the fulfillment of these nominal criteria. The review process doesn't contain both "if" and "how" questions, but only the "if" questions. The "how" questions should be dealt with within the review process of real convergence, but there isn't any, because real convergence is only vaguely defined in the Euro-area access conditions. There is no exact determination to which extent should the economic cycles be synchronized, what level of GDP per capita should country achieve or what level of average wages and structural similarity of the economy should be achieved. But the most important "missing" condition within real convergence is the condition of economic "naturalness" of the whole convergence process, because that is one of the most important requirements for success of the whole monetary integration process. If country "naturally" (in economic terms) comes to the fulfillment of nominal convergence criteria, then it doesn't have to worry much about possibly negative impact of joining of the euro area (especially loss of autonomous monetary policy). But if any country comes to the fulfillment in an economic "unnatural" way, or if any of reviewed economic indicators shows an unusual, but still tolerable development within the criteria, this situation may become a source of potential future problems after joining the EMU. This case is shown and described in the paper using recent development in two above mentioned countries, Slovenia and Slovakia. This paper was presented at the twentieth international conference of the International Trade and Finance Association in Las Vegas, Nevada, Tuesday, May 25, 2010.


The Spanish introduction to the international scene in iron construction was delayed a few decades. The political, social, economic or resources were far removed from the budgets that led to nations such as England or France to become the leaders of the birth and development of European industry. During the period Fernandino (1814-1833) were ignored purposes designed to promote proper technological development of the nation into line with other European countries. After the failure of some proposals and the limited impact of others, will be from the reorganization of the Corps of Engineers, and his state representation in the DG, when Spain begins to value the iron as a building material applied to the large civil engineering works.


This thesis is about understandings, how those understandings shape the law and how the law helps to shape those understandings. Its first premise is that law is not neutral: it is formed and functions within a complex and dynamic socio-political context from which it is inseparable. From that premise, the thesis argues that partial understanding of the context in which the law has been formed may result in mis- or partial understandings, and thus mis- or partial application, of the law itself. The argument is made through political discourse analysis of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and implementation in England of Article 19, the right to live independently and be included in the community.
The CRPD is seen as emancipatory law, offering a re-description of the world and of disabled people's place in it, and requiring for its full implementation transformative paradigm change. Whether the Convention-drafters' hegemonic project succeeds will depend in part on the understandings already circulating in national settings. Turning to the United Kingdom, the thesis identifies resistance on the part of successive governments to international understandings of economic, social and cultural rights, and their consequent invisibility in domestic discourse, as potential barriers to realisation of the CRPD's emancipatory purpose.
The remainder of the thesis investigates the extent to which this mis-understanding currently affects implementation in England of CRPD Article 19. Independent living policy, legislation, decision-making and redress are examined for evidence of CRPD-compatible change. The thesis concludes that the exclusion of international economic, social and cultural rights standards from domestic discourse results in mis- and partial understandings, and thus in mis- or partial application, of Article 19. This in turn undermines implementation of the Convention as a whole, and frustrates its drafters' purpose in the English domestic sphere.


Abstract The existence of positive solutions, vanishing at infinity, for the semilinear eigenvalue problem Lu = λ f(x, y) in RN is obtained, where L is a strictly elliptic operator. The function f is assumed to be of subcritical growth with respect to the variable u.


In late 2016, officials at U.S. and Canadian diplomatic posts in Havana, Cuba, began reporting a cluster of symptoms, including nausea, severe headaches, and dizziness, that came to be known as "Havana Syndrome." The illnesses prompted the departure of U.S. personnel from Havana in 2017, and subsequent cases have been reported among personnel assigned to the U.S. consulate in Guangzhou, China and elsewhere. In recent months, three reports related to the illnesses and the government's response have become public. A Center for Disease Control (CDC) report examined medical records and produced a case definition. A National Academies for Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) standing committee considered possible causes, including "directed, pulsed radio frequency (RF) energy, . . . chemical exposures, infectious diseases and psychological issues," and concluded that the symptoms were consistent with RF effects. Additionally, a recently declassified Accountability Review Board (ARB) report criticized the Trump administration's response to the illnesses in Havana. Amid reports of increasing cases, including some occurring in the United States, the Biden administration is attempting to determine the cause of the illness and has committed to support affected personnel.


Complement receptor type 2 (1033 aa, ~113 kDa) is encoded by the human CR2 gene. This protein plays a role in the activation of complement-mediated immunity.


Sleep disturbance was significantly associated with social isolation (r=0.251, p<0.001), poor global physical health (r=-0.186, p<0.001) and mental health (r=-0.376, p<0.001), and lower GPA (r=-0.167, p=0.004). Additionally, seven focus groups were conducted in a total of 32 students, suggesting that the increase in free time from the COVID-19 pandemic led to greater digital media use, compromising sleep duration and quality. With the increase of screen time also came feeling of guilt and anxiety which often led to greater awareness and self-control around media use. Conclusion: Nighttime digital media use during the challenging pandemic time has a significant impact on poor sleep, which may lead to decreased academic performance, greater social isolation, and poor physical and mental health in college students. Effective interventions targeting digital media use are needed to improve sleep in this population. Support (if any):

Abstract 6‐Substituted‐dibenzo[d, f][1,3,2]dioxaposphepin‐6‐oxides, sulfides, and selenides (5a–i, 6a–d, and 7a–d) were synthesized by reacting 2,2′‐biphenol (1) with phosphorus tribromide in the presence of triethylamine at 0–30°C and subsequent reaction of the monobromide (2) with different Grignard reagents (3) at room temperature. The products (4) were converted to corresponding oxides, sulfides, and selenides (5a–i, 6a–d, and 7a–d) by oxidation with H2O2 at room temperature and refluxing with sulfur and selenium respectively. The chemical structures of all the products were confirmed by analytical, IR, NMR (1H, 13C, and 31P), and mass spectral data. Most of these compounds exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity.


The problem that it is difficult to understand China's insurance clauses restricts insurance development to a greater extent.This article analyses the problems of the insurance clauses in the aspect of words,content,form and so on,points out the urgency of the insurance clauses popularization from China's practical situation,and puts forward the way of popularization.


This study investigates the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) development at the country level and prevailing corruption after controlling for political, economic and social factors. It also studies the relationship between corruption, government effectiveness, and economic efficiency. We use the ICT development index (IDI) as the measure of ICT development, and corruption perception index (CPI) as a measure of country-level corruption. An analysis of 98 countries for the year 2010 shows that ICT development is negatively related to corruption, which in turn, is negatively related to government effectiveness and economic efficiency.


Numerical simulations of vortical structures in 2D electrostatic plasmas in an annular geometry show that by varying the boundary conditions it is possible to suppress vortices of one polarity, thereby eliminating propagating dipolar structures. Transport of plasma caused by propagating dipolar structures is consequently reduced, or even eliminated, by the externally imposed electric field. The results have implications for understanding cross-field transport of plasmas in the presence of coherent structures.

This paper aims at measuring the performance of Apache Accumulo by using Storage Benchmark Kit (SBK). Apache Accumulo is based on the Google's BigTable design with addition of two unique features. One feature is the iterator framework that embeds user-programmed functionality (server-side programming) into different Log-structured Merge Tree (LSM-tree) stages. The second is the cell-level security that enables fine-grain data access control. The SBK (Storage Benchmark Kit) is an open source software framework for the performance benchmarking of any storage system. We can measure the maximum throughput performance of any storage device/system using SBK. The SBK itself is a very high-performance benchmark tool/framework. It massively writes the data to the storage system and reads the data from the storage system. The SBK supports multi writers and readers and also the End to End latency benchmarking.


In this paper, a frontier-based technique is used with two cooperating mobile robots to explore unknown environment. The aim is to decrease the exploration time. The proposed frontier-based exploration algorithm is based on a new bidding function in which we introduced a special parameter to decrease the overlap between the robots in addition to the utility and cost parameters. Tens of thousands experiments have been conducted to see the relative importance of the weight parameters used in this technique. As a result of these experiments, the weight values can be chosen to guarantee short exploration time. The proposed algorithm has been tested with a set of environments with different shapes and different numbers of obstacles. Finally, the results of our algorithm were compared with the results of one of known exploration algorithms available in the literature. The new technique led to promising results.


S0‐called external information services are not new but in recent years they have taken on new dimensions. Because no industrial information service can be self sufficient, it has always been necessary to draw on outside sources to obtain references, documents, data, information and advice that will augment what can be supplied using internal resources.


Variation in the physical characteristics of land is a factor in determining the form and direction of expanding urban areas. The state of Victoria in Australia has a highly centralized population in its core area known as the Port Phillip district. It has a temperate climate with seasonal hot dry spells, it embraces several waterways and contains drainage basins of streams flowing into the bays. The core is almost at the junction of two land formations with basalt plains to the west and north and volcanic formations and sand deposits from northeast to south. Land classification is particularily important for planning in this area because of the prime agricultural land with rich resources. The method used for this terrain classification looks to the use capability of the land by studying the terrain pattern, unit, component and evaluation. This is called the P.U.C.E. program. The value of terrain classification for urban and regional planning is seen in the close interrelationship of economic, social and physical factors, the dependance of the relationship of terrain and intensive or low density use, the soil science information it provides, the recording and storing of necessary information it provides and its use in re-development or expanding of metropolitan areas. A method of evaluation for planning following terrain classification in the Port Phillip district is included.


The authors' purpose is "to acquaint larger circles of the medical profession with the role played by lack of exercise in the origin of a variety of diseases," both physical and mental. After an opening chapter defining "hypokinetic" as "caused by insufficient motion," there follow 2 chapters on back pain and orthopedic disabilities, a chapter on lack of exercise among present-day American young people, 6 chapters on cardiovascular aspects of the problem, 2 on metabolic or internal disease, 1 on emotional disturbances, and 2 on constructive suggestions. Most people are prepared to admit that we need more physical exercise, but much of this book is devoted to efforts to drive the point home by all sorts of evidence. Some of this comes from recent work with a fitness-test that has been widely criticized, as in the recent article by Rodahl et al. ( Arch Environ Health 2 :499-510 [May] 1961). Some

We had trial broadcast for a university graduation ceremony with telepresence. One of the graduates carried a laptop computer with a camera with him, and we broadcast the video image from the camera on the Internet. The audience on the network experienced telepresence at the graduation ceremoney. We report our experiment system configuration and the required communications between staff as well as problems and findings. Finally we present the users' comments and describe what is needed for telepresence and internet broadcast.


Naples becomes the focus for further discussions on regional versus national identities, patronage away from court, and even Greek versus Roman values. A sophisticated and relevant critique of Flavian society emerges through the above investigations and confirms the apt choice of N.'s focus. In the late first century A.D. opportunities for social mobility are increased as the imperial influence appears more strained, and many, especially high status, individuals find themselves able (or forced) to redefine their career, assert their prosperity, and establish a public presence based in private means, sites, and occupations. The ups and downs of these operations are eloquently transcribed in Pliny the Younger's letters. Through N.'s rich discussion, individuals such as Violentilla, Earinus, Volpiscus, and Pollius appear engaged and successful in this independent game of self-advancement. Where N. is somewhat less engaging is in her discussions of the emperor-poems, especially 1.1 on the equestrian statue of Domitian (ch. 2, part 1) and 4.3 on the building of Via Domitiana (ch. 9). In these chapters N. attempts to sustain a politically subversive undercurrent in the Silvae that does not always convince. N.'s flair for detail and challenging associations is still rewarding, but the determination to consider most dialogues and incidents included, or alluded to, in these poems as anti-imperial, if covert, statements renders the text less nuanced than elsewhere. For example, the disturbing overtones of the associations between Jupiter and Domitian in ch. 1 are more asserted than fully explained. Also in ch. 9 the shadow of a hybristic emperor who gets carried away by excessive instincts when building Via Domitiana is less convincing in the light of the redemption of luxury that we have witnessed earlier, in chs 4 and 5, when N. dealt with Volpiscus' and Pollius' villas. Read in the light of Pliny's writings, excess could be problematic, but was much less so in the context of Silvae. N. seems to succumb to a new historical tendency (particularly hard to resist for those who can confidently master complex corpora of art) to read oppositions and covert messages in all texts/objects. This reluctance to release the collection from the Domitianic grip, makes N. interpret the alternative sites of powers, which she has expertly explored for us in chs 3-5, as sites predominantly antithetical to the emperor, though this does not have to be their main feature. There is a tendency here to square all elements of a complex system, predict the resistances, and harness them towards a unified whole where conflicts have neatly been taken into account. And this is especially unfortunate for the Domitianic era: reducing all concerns to a direct opposition to or alignment with the emperor restricts seriously the field of a remarkably complex and increasingly more wide-ranging ideological debate. Having said that, N.'s study is a most welcome addition to the scholarship on Silvae. It is an ambitious and learned project, characterized throughout by an alert eye for detail and inter(and intra-) textual connections, and a continuous drive for the exploration of experimental meanings residing between the lines. A book-length study of Silvae has been badly needed for some time and this one is bound to give ample food for thought and promote important debates on the Flavian era and Flavian art.


Sign languages have various types, one of which is American Sign Language (ASL). In this study, ASL images from the handshape alphabet were extracted using Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) then these features were used for the classification of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with various training functions using 3 variations of multi-layer network architecture where ANN architecture consists of one hidden layer. Based on ANN training, trainbr test results have a higher success rate than other training functions. In architecture with 15 neurons in the hidden layer get an accuracy value of 99.29%, a precision of 91.84%, and a recall of 91.47%. The test results show that using the HOG feature and ANN classification method for ASL recognition gives a good level of accuracy, with an overall accuracy of 5 neurons 95.38%, 10 neurons 96.64%, and 15 neurons with 97.32%.

Keywords— Artificial Neural Network; American Sign Language; Histogram of Oriented Gradient; Training Function


The aim of this paper is to present a method that allows researchers and analysts to reduce the number of false positives in a patent query. Patents are not only used for prior art searches but increasingly for competitive analyses and the analysis of the evolution of technology. When these cases focus on specific technological domains, non-experts will aim to identify patents related to their focus technology. In certain cases, this can require complex queries to contain thousands of patents. It then becomes difficult to identify false positives. We present a method that allows researchers and analysts to refine their queries on large datasets.


A metasurface is an artificial structure composed by an ultrathin surface textured at a subwavelength scale. In the last years, metasurfaces have been revealed to be particularly useful in the design of electromagnetic scattering cancellation devices operating at microwave and optical frequencies. In this contribution we summarize our results about the analytical modelling of microwave and optical metasurfaces composed, respectively, by patterned metallic surfaces and arrays of plasmonic nanoparticles. The analytical results are compared with the numerical ones obtained with a proper set of full-wave simulations showing an excellent agreement.


Pre-Independence, the North-Eastern region was largely rural, but in the second half of the 20th century, urbanisation levels here shot up. Indications are that development projects initiated by State and Central governments and the role of missionaries in creating educational infrastructure were key contributory factors. The data also show that urban concentration in the North-East, as in the rest of the country, has been top-heavy. Not only that, the spatial distribution of urban units gets more and more uneven at higher levels of urban concentration. On the other hand, data from the 2001 Census reveals, medium and small towns (towns of class III, IV and V), which together account for over 80% of towns in the region, are more evenly distributed. There is, in this context, a need to nurture the smaller towns, which display an encouraging potential for growth. Within the States also, urbanisation is uneven, which too suggests a high potential for a more balanced pattern of urbanisation in future.


Anti‐platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin immune complexes that cause heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) activate complement via the classical pathway. Previous studies have shown that the alternative pathway of complement substantially amplifies the classical pathway of complement activation through the C3b feedback cycle.


Background Lumbosacral radicular pain (LSRP) can be caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and failed back surgery syndrome. The clinical effect of pulsed-radiofrequency (PRF) combined with transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) for radiating pain in different population remains unclear. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical recordings of patients with LSRP caused by different etiologies, who underwent PRF and TESI treatment. The primary clinical outcome was assessed by a 10-point Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pre- and post-treatment. Results A total of 34 LSRP patients were identified and classified into 3 subgroups (disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and failed back surgery syndrome). The overall immediate pain reduction was 4.4 ± 1.1 after procedure. After a median follow-up of 9.5 months, the VAS decreased from 6.5 ± 1.0 to 2.4 ± 1.9 at the last follow-up. Conclusion PRF combined with TESI is an effective approach to treat persistent LSRP in distinct population.


In this work a finite element method for a dual‐mixed approximation of generalized Stokes problems in two or three space dimensions is studied. A variational formulation of the generalized Stokes problems is accomplished through the introduction of the pseudostress and the trace‐free velocity gradient as unknowns, yielding a twofold saddle point problem. The method avoids the explicit computation of the pressure, which can be recovered through a simple post‐processing technique. Compared with an existing approach for the same problem, the method presented here reduces the global number of degrees of freedom by up to one‐third in two space dimensions. The method presented here also represents a connection between existing dual‐mixed and pseudostress methods for Stokes problems. Existence, uniqueness, and error results for the generalized Stokes problems are given, and numerical experiments that illustrate the theoretical results are presented.

How does trade and financial integration affect macroeconomic volatility? Neither empirical nor theoretical studies have reached a consensus on it. This paper uses a microfounded two-symmetric-country model with endogenous entry of firms to address the issue. The analysis is conducted for three different regimes with different levels of international integration: a closed economy, a financial autarky and full integration. Different levels of trade openness are considered in the form of home biases and the economy may suffer from labor productivity and innovation shocks. The model concludes that macroeconomic uncertainty, in the form of consumption, output and terms of trade volatilities, depends on the degree of openness and on the source of the shock.

In an attempt to study the influence of vitamin D metabolites on PTH secretion, serum calcium and urinary excretion of cAMP were sequentially measured in conscious perfused rats, and the effects of a single iv injection of the metabolites on these paramenters were examined. Four hours after the administration of 0.25μg/kg (0.6 nmol/kg, probably a physiological dose) of 1α, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1α, 25 (OH)2D3], the urinary excretion of cAMP decreased to a level compatible with that of parathyroidectomized rats (〜60% of the initial value; P<0.05) and this level was sustained for nearly 24h. Serum concentrations of calcium (total and ionized) did not change. In parathyroidectomized rats which were continuously infused with bovine PTH (1U/h), the vitamin D metabolite had no significant effect on the urinary excretion of cAMP. 24R,25-dihydroxcholecalciferol (12.5μg/kg) had no significant effect either on the urinary excretion of cAMP or on serum calcium. These results suggest that in rats, a physiological dose of 1α, 25(OH)2D3 inhibits PTH secretion without causing


With development of nano-fabrication technology, feature size and dimension of microelectronics are approaching nanoscale. A phenomenon of this size-shrinking trend is that the properties of interfaces between contacting materials are becoming dominant factors affecting performance of microelectronics. Researchers have devoted countless efforts to investigate properties of materials at nanoscale, but knowledge about the interfaces is still insufficient. Graphene is considered as one of the miracle materials for next generation microelectronics due to its two-dimensional nature. The extraordinary high thermal conductivity and electron mobility of graphene attract researchers to integrate graphene into microelectronic devices. However, since graphene is just an atomic structure of one or a few atom layers, the interfaces between graphene and another kind of material strongly influence the performance of graphene based devices. This research selects thermal boundary resistance of graphene interfaces as the topic, which is very important for the thermal management in graphene microelectronics and even for the feasibility evaluation for other potential graphene applications. By the implementation of 3ω method, thermal boundary resistance, which is the basic index to evaluate thermal transport of interfaces, of several kinds of graphene interfaces is characterized, to evaluate thermal transport of the interfaces. The effects of interfacial interaction on the thermal boundary resistance are further explored. The formation of welladhesive interfaces is of great importance to realize graphene microelectronics. On the other hand, covalent bonds between the carbon atoms of graphene and the atoms of another contacting material assist the heat transfer across interfaces.

conventional and rather pious, showing no Delumeau influence, while Gadille steps delicately through anticlericalism, social Catholicism and the contemporary Church. The editor has set his authors the task of bringing out the originality and identity of the Lyons church. This they have done well, but at the price of exposing the gaps in our knowledge of religion as it was lived in the very varied and contrasting pays of the diocese. Students and specialists will find the book useful, above all for reference purposes, and there is a good bibliography, better than in some of the earlier volumes in this series.


In this paper, the importance of the true and genuine meaning of the herodotian term 'History' as inquiry has been recalled, and therefore History of Medicine is inquiry of Medicine. Such investigation points up the essential philosophical question What is Medicine? and elightens the concept of History of Medicine as supported by the mythological conditions of Janus, Gordias and Ariadna.


Residential quality management systems have most often been designed for new home construction. To address quality in existing homes in the form of Scopes of Work (SOW), the NAHB Research Center began with a new construction scope of work and applied it to an existing home project. This document is intended to outline the steps of translating a new home construction SOW to SOW for retrofit and addressed crawlspace foundations in a mixed-humid climate.


50 women were selected from those attending the family planning clinic of the Maximino Avila Camacho Maternal Child Health Center to participate in the study. 3 groups of packets of tablets labeled A AD or BD were distributed; each contained 28 tablets 21 yellow and 7 pink. The physicians knew only that those with packets labeled A had an active substance; group BD contained placebos. 16 of the women took only the A pills; 34 took the AD and BD pills and were also protected by Lippes loops. Follow-up was done monthly. Reporting of side effects was done by the subjects; no leading questions were asked. Group A was observed for 141 cycles group AD for 142 and group BD for 127. On evaluation it was disclosed that the active substance was 1 mg of norethindrone + 50 mcg of mestranol. Groups AD and BD had a higher incidence of menstrual irregularities than did group A. Amenorrhea was 4 times as common in AD as in A and approximately 3 times as frequent in BD as in A. Incidence of breakthrough bleeding was significantly higher in AD than in either A or BD owing probably to the effect of using both an IUD and a hormonal contraceptive. The greatest number of severe side effects was experienced in group BD; 4 of them had to discontinue the program (1 due to intramenstrual bleeding). In groups A and AD only 1 and 2 patients respectively experienced severe effects and 1 in each group discontinued because of them while 15 patients in each had zero to moderate side effects. No satisfactory explanation for the phenomena was found. Those in the A and AD groups also experienced weight loss which was thought to be due more to nutritional intake than to the pills. It is cautioned that none of the differences cited was statistically significant and that the small number of cycles of observation did not permit conclusions.


Abstract The functional beverages category is considered one of the most significant drivers of new product development (NPD) in recent years. Fifteen in-depth interviews and three focus groups were held between February and March 2003 to identify the most important attributes influencing consumers' purchase decisions for orange juice, and to explore consumers' attitudes towards existing and new functional orange juice beverages. The results suggested that functional food and beverage manufacturers should place a greater emphasis on the base product when evaluating new product concepts. This study highlighted the key role of qualitative research in facilitating the integration of consumers with the concept stage of the NPD process.

Music is a social phenomenon allowing the possibility of indefinite recreations. Depending on the cultures, places, and times, musical exchanges have been locally managed in various ways. Today the rights to copy a particular music are a sensitive topic of current international interest because of the development of the music industry. In Vanuatu custom, a principle close to the concept of intellectual property rights has existed for centuries for music or other intangible knowledge. Traditionally, not everyone has the right to hand over certain parts of this knowledge; complex rules must be observed. Although for most sets of music anyone who knows a song can sing it, a certain number of sets are governed by precise rules of transmission. Through examples of ceremonies and specific cases observed in northern Vanuatu, I present various ways in which music can be circulated and exchanged with other valuable objects of traditional currency or even coins of modern currency.


The present paper reports the results of Citrobacter freundii, strain DSM 15979, that was tested for its ability to produce value added chemicals from biodiesel derived glycerol in a mesophilic fluidized bed biofilm reactor operating under continuous conditions at a specified hydraulic retention time (HRT) at 30°C. Elevating feed concentrations (10 to 144 g/L) were tested in order to understand their effects on simultaneous production of value added products with immobilized whole cells. Gin was found to be a significant independent variable for the productions of 1,3-PDO, 2,3-BD, ethanol, acetic, succinic and lactic acids under different organic loading rates (OLR). The major metabolite in the metabolic pathway was found to be 1,3-PDO followed by 2,3-BD reaching the maximum values as 26.1 and 18.8 g/L under the conditions of 92 g/L crude glycerol and 8 h, which is represents an OLR of 11.5 g/L.h, suggesting the formation of biofilms favor the utilization of high substrate concentration to enhance the mixed fermentation.


The following paper discusses energy simulation of C programs in embedded systems. An Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) has been implemented for early code analysis that will help software developers in optimizing their programs in terms of energy consumption. The ISS is called Powot Simulator and performs timeless code simulation by assigning each assembler instruction a base energy cost and grouping instructions together to represent each statement of C code. This tool depends heavily on the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) toolchain and a custom energy model of the target microprocessor.


In cities across the United States, groups of mostly men congregate in public and semipublic spaces in hopes of being hired for short-term work. The particular spaces where laborers congregate each day are crucial to their economic and social fortunes, yet to date, there is limited research examining the spatial organization of these sites. In this article, I draw on relational perspectives on the production of space and governmentality practices to examine day-labor hiring spaces in the San Diego Metropolitan Area. Drawing on more than seven years of mixed-methods research, I argue that laborers collectively employ strategic visibility: a set of spatial practices that reduces the potential for conflict and ensures laborers' continued access to the particular spaces on which their survival depends. This analysis suggests that laborers' site-selection and spatial practices are driven by pragmatic, economic concerns, rather than fear of interactions with policing agencies and/or anti-immigrant residents.


Roadway performance can be improved through utilizing modified bitumens and/or modified bituminous mixtures within the structure. Regarding this view, Kaolin-containing-Organic Additive Material (K-c-OAM) has been synthesized chemically in the study. K-c-OAM is a new additive material obtained in laboratory conditions with the reaction of kaolin, a kind of clay, and ethylene glycol. 50/70 penetration grade neat bitumen has been modified by K-c-OAM in concentrations ranging from 1 % to 4 %. The effects of K-c-OAM on both bitumen and bituminous mixture properties have been investigated by experiments including rotational viscosity, penetration, softening point, ductility, Nicholson stripping and Marshall tests. Marshall Stability values of the bituminous mixtures have been found to be increased at a level varying between 6.4 % and 9.5 % by K-c-OAM modified bitumens. In areas where hot climate is not dominant, K-c-OAM modified roadway pavements can said to provide better performance according to the laboratory findings.

A clinical case is presented describing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type IA in a young man, which was confirmed by molecular genetic testing. The study of diagnostic criteria for nosologies of this spectrum is relevant, taking into account the rarity of the disease and certain difficulties in making a diagnosis.


BackgroundMaximal ventricular power (PWRIUOX) reflects contractile state and has the potential to be noninvasively determined. However, its sensitivities to preload, afterload resistance, and inotropic state are incompletely defined. The present study determines these dependencies and proposes a novel power-based contractile index that is little altered by load. Methods and ResultsSeven open-chest, autonomically blocked dogs were instrumented with a proximal aortic flow probe, central aortic and ventricular micromanometers, and a conductance catheter for ventricular chamber volume. Preload was transiently reduced by left atrial hemorrhage, and afterload was increased by intraortic balloon inflation. Inotropic state was pharmacologically altered by lidocaine, dobutamine, propranolol, or verapamil. PWRK was highly preload sensitive, altering 1.7 ± 0.1-fold a given percent change in end-diastolic volume (EDV). This preload dependence was reduced by dividing PWRDI.a by EDV but was virtually eliminated when PWRmaX was divided by EDV2. This latter index also displayed little change in response to as much as 60%So increases in afterload resistance. PWRaI, X/EDV2 varied directly with inotropic state, correlating to both the slope (Ees) of the end-systolic pressurevolume relation (PWRm. · 1,000/EDV2 = 0.31 · Ees−0.04, r = 0.82, p < 0.001) and the slope (A) of the dP/dtmax-EDV relation (PWRMtmax · 1,000/EDV2 = 0.025 · A + 0.02, r = 0.86, p < 0.001). PWRm. values determined from the product of ventricular pressure and flow versus central aortic pressure and flow were nearly identical over a broad loading range, indicating that PWR,., may be noninvasively assessed (i.e., without requiring left ventricular chamber pressure). ConclusionsPWRU, divided by EDV2 provides a measure of contractile function that is little influenced by loading conditions and has potential for noninvasive clinical use.

Unprecedented growth in technology usage has led to the proliferation of e-commerce sites and their adoption globally. However, there are factors hindering the adoption and full exploitation of e-commerce sites in Nigeria. In view of this, this study examined users' perception of selected e-commerce sites in Nigeria, using students of the University of Ilorin as a case study. The population of the study comprised mainly of 5500 students from four faculties selected from the University of Ilorin using a simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used as the main instrument for data collection using descriptive statistics to analyze field data. A Purposive sampling technique was adopted in the selection of students for this study. The sample size comprised of 300 students selected purposively from the four Faculties. Findings revealed that the majority of users patronized e-commerce sites such as Jumia, Konga, OLX, and Jiji. However, users of e-commerce sites raised issues of privacy concerns, low-security awareness, and lack of user education. In conclusion, recommendations were made towards improving the adoption and use of e-commerce sites in Nigeria.

Eggs are used for a wide variety of purposes in the food industry. Mostly ready for use egg products are used in the technology, for example, liquid whole egg. However, this product has limited shelf life (10 11 days) and there is a market need for products with longer shelf life. In our study, we worked on the prolongation of pasteurized salted liquid whole egg's shelf life. We used different plant extracts and allyl isothiocyanate because there is an emerging trend of using natural preservatives. Among the used plant extracts were lavender, rosemary, ginger and sage extracts. First, we determined the appropriate concentrations of plant extracts with sensory tests. We prepared solutions in 10 different concentrations of the extracts in the range of 10 10 mg/L. An expert panel identified the maximal concentration of each extract based on the samples sensory properties. After that, a 4-week long storage experiment was performed. We defined total plate count and the number of Enterobacteriaceae of the samples with plate counting method every week. Besides that, we examined the calorimetric properties of samples with Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Statistical analysis was performed by IMB SPSS Statistics 22.0 software. Samples were considered satisfactory under Hungarian regulations if their total number of bacteria did not reach 10 CFU/g and the number of Enterobacteriaceae was less than 10 CFU/g. Results of the microbiological analysis have shown, that allyl isothiocyanate preserves samples more than 4 weeks. Among the plant extracts, the use of ginger proved to be the best preservative, with a minimum shelf life of 21 days. At the applied concentration the added natural materials did not significantly influence the calorimetric properties of the samples. It was found that by adding different natural preservatives, the consumption time can be extended without affecting the calorimetric properties. In the next of our study, we investigate consumer preference and economic aspects.


Based on the metabolism characteristics of streptomyces kanamyceticus, the different influence of stirring speed and aeration rate on the oxygen gas-liquid transfer speeds, and the cost distribution between the stirring and acration during the kanamycin fermentation process, an expert control system was built. The dissolved oxygen concentration was regulated mainly by changing the oxygen-supplying rate. This system ran with a good stability and succeeded to save much a lot of energy.


Abstract This article is based on the findings of a research project the author completed in December 1992 on marriage, the family and household in Bophuthatswana. The main objective of the research was to generate information on marriage and family life among the Batswana in two districts of the former Bophuthatswana Homeland. The results from the study show that marriage was not a universal phenomenon among the sample group, that is, not everyone ultimately married. The data also suggest that changes had occurred or were under way in this southern African population, with the main trend towards later marriage. Males, for instance, married particularly late, median age at first marriage being 28 — five years older than females. Males with urban childhood upbringing married 2.5 years older than their female counterparts with a similar background. Changes were also occurring in the type of marriage and family in this Setswana-speaking sample in the wake of modernizing forces and difficult economic times. T...


author has some valuable comments to make, for he sees Gerber's excessive pursuit of abstract jurisprudence and its application to the science of public law as an anti-liberal expression opposed to the 1848 revolution and as a justification of Realpolitik (p. 129) on the pretext that liberalism was an " ideology " and law must be clearly separated from politics (p. 145). It is hoped that this rather lengthy outline will indicate the outstanding importance of this book. The learned author has enriched legal literature and has placed us in his debt by illuminating one of the most exciting pages of legal history. And, in view of the disappointing style of a large number of recent German academic publications, words of praise are due to the simplicity of style and the clarity of thought which equal the deep learning so amply displayed in this book. May we hope that the learned author will attempt to complete this fascinating story by a further volume on the development of the Bcgrifjsjurisprvdenz to the end of the nineteenth century. It is, unfortunately, too much to hope that we may see, one day, the publication of an English translation of this valuable book.


Why is an inordinate amount of money spent on professional development not yielding expected results? Much of the growth opportunities offered to teachers is a passive process that does not engage them at a level where they will commit to making a change. Educators are learners as well and need to enter the learning process in the same way students do. Even with all social and political circles clamoring for change, the decision to do things differently must come from the teacher. Sometimes a simple process can be a game changer and can motivate teachers to embark and invest in the change agenda.

Maji S, Matsuda A, Yan IK, Parasramka M, Patel T. Extracellular vesicles in liver diseases. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 312: G194–G200, 2017. First published December 30, 2016; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00216.2016.—Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound vesicles that are released by cells into their extracellular environment, have selective enrichment of specific proteins and RNA, and can mediate intercellular communication. In this review we highlight recent observations of the role of EVs in liver injury, viral hepatitis, alcoholic or nonalcoholic liver disease, biliary tract disease, and liver cancers. Potential applications as markers of diseases or for therapeutic applications are outlined to emphasize the new opportunities that are arising from the study of EVs.


The pharmacological effects of deserpidine have been found in general to resemble those of reserpine, both qualitatively and quantitatively (Bein, 1956; Cronheim, 1955; Schneider et alii, 1955; Innes et alii, 1958). However, clinical reports have suggested that there may be some differences, and in psychiatric patients doses of up to 6 mg. of deserpidine daily have been reported without significant side-effects (Ferguson, 1956). A low incidence of side-effects with a dose of 0·3 to 1 mg. daily has been reported in hypertensive patients (Billow, 1958). On the other hand, a high incidence of side-effects with recanescine (deserpidine) 1 to 3 mg. daily has also been reported in a small series of hypertensive patients (Pepin et alii, 1957), and in a comparative study of several Rauwolfia alkaloids administered parenterally (Ford et alii, 1957), reserpine was found to cause the fewest sideeffects in the minimum effective hypotensive dose.

This work is directed to uncertainty quantification of homogenized effective properties of composite materials with a complex, three dimensional microstructure. The uncertainties arise in the material parameters of the single constituents as well as in the fiber volume fraction. They are taken into account by multivariate random variables. Uncertainty quantification is carried out by an efficient surrogate model based on pseudospectral polynomial chaos expansion and artificial neural networks, which is trained on a fast Fourier transformation based homogenization method. The numerical example deals with the comparison of the presented method to Monte Carlo‐type simulation for uncertain homogenization of spherical inclusions in a matrix material.


Introduction Primary care physicians tend to examine patients with conversion disorder (CD) first. A good knowledge of this disorder will allow an early diagnosis and avoid unnecessary investigations for the patient. Objectives To assess the knowledge of primary care physicians about patients with CD. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional and descriptive study among 90 primary care physicians in Sfax (Tunisia). We used an anonymous self-questionnaire for data collection. Results The response rate to our questionnaire was 60%. The participants' age ranged from 25 to 70 years, with a median of 41 years. The sex ratio (M/F) was 0.92. The majority of physicians (75.9%) have practiced in the public sector. Among the respondents, 75.9% had theoretical training in CD, 14.8% had continuing medical education (CME), and 42.6% had hospital experience in a psychiatric department. The overall proportion of correct answers was 71.8%. The most recognised symptoms of CD were: dysphonia-aphonia, paresthesia or paresis. All doctors mentioned at least one criterion to distinguish CD from epileptic seizures and loss of consciousness. Conclusions There are some gaps in primary care physicians' knowledge of CD. Thus, we propose to reconsider the conduct of CME, to favour small group training workshops with role-playing and to improve the collaboration between the psychiatrist and the primary care physician. Disclosure No significant relationships.

ABSTRACT Regional music scenes in Australia face unique challenges tied to distance, deflated economies and youth flight to urban areas. Drawn from seven interviews with music workers from Gippsland during 2020, the article examines these challenges and the cultural practices that glue musicians to this south-eastern region of Victoria. Findings highlight that Gippsland's music scene is sustained at the intersection of two cultural practices: community music enterprise and a do-it-yourself scene centered around the live pub circuit. In addition, locals have banded together to keep the scene alive through the online television program Live at Spectrum and performances at house parties.


Accurate prediction of the trajectory of surrounding vehicles is crucial to autonomous driving for path planning and collision avoidance. In this paper, we propose a novel transformer-based model with adaptive social and temporal learning for trajectory prediction. In order to model social interaction between vehicles at each historical timestamp, an enhanced graph attention feature aggregation mechanism combing hidden feature and explicit relative spatial relation is developed. Further, the social and temporal dependency across different timestamps is captured by multi-head self-attention with an extra learnable "intention token". To achieve multi-modal trajectory prediction, we implement intention-aware transformer decoder of driving behavior, the intention recognition and trajectory. Experiments on large-scale benchmark datasets verify that our model achieves better performance comparing with some state-of-the-art trajectory prediction models.

Citizens' act of spreading of information, also known as electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), enables governments to effectively engage with citizens over information and communication technologies (ICTs). This poster explores the factors that influence the intention of citizens to spread information in mobile communication. Qualitative and quantitative responses collected via an online survey from 97 graduate students at the Central University of Gujarat, India, suggest that: (a) the type of online communication channel available for the message to be forwarded, (b) content of the message, (c) likeability of the message, (d) priority of the activity students are engaged in over the message to be forwarded, and (e) if the message is related to any emergency situation, are the top five factors influencing students' intention to forward messages over their mobile phones. Theoretical and practical implications of this study for effective civic engagement in mobile governance are discussed at the end.


ZL109 piston alloy modified by melt rapid solidification Cu-P alloy was prepared with molten metal casting method.Subsequently , the microstructure of the ZL109 alloy was observed by optical microscopy and the performance was tested, the principle of grain refinement was studied. Experimental results show that the microscopic structure of the alloy modified by the process is refined,the interface energy is increased,the cast defects are minimized, and the performance of aluminum piston alloy modified by melt rapid solidification Cu-P intermediate alloy is better than that of aluminum piston alloy modified by traditional rod or massive Cu-P intermediate alloy. Therefore, the melt rapid solidification treatment is a feasible method to improve the modifying effect of the Cu-P intermediate alloy for ZL109.


This paper is an analysis based on the observation of regional partnerships that bring together the public institutions involved in regional implementation of the second phase of ESF community policy (1994–"1999). Apart from a handful of convergences typical of this type of cooperation, the study, which was conducted in three regions of France, outlines the specific nature of the systems of games and arrangements established in each area of negotiation.


Matrix-assisted pulsed-laser evaporation direct-write (MAPLE DW) is emerging as a promising technique for printing microelectronics as well as fabricating biological constructs. For disparate MAPLE DW-based microfabrication applications, the droplet formation during MAPLE DW should be first carefully understood. Toward this goal, this study aims to study the effects of laser fluence and material properties of material to be transferred on the formed droplet in direct writing glycerol-water droplets using MAPLE DW. It was found that (1) at a given glycerol concentration ratio, the droplet diameter was linearly dependent on the laser fluence, and the slope of this relationship was dependent on the glycerol concentration, and (2) the droplet diameter had no systematic relationship with the glycerol concentration ratio. This study reveals important phenomena for droplet formation in MAPLE DW; further theoretical modeling is expected to further explain these observations.


The intensity of benzophenone‐sensitized phosphorescent emission of biacetyl in solution was found to be dependent on the exciting‐light intensity. The efficiency of emission decreases as the exciting‐light intensity increases. The decrease in emission efficiency is attributed to the triplet—triplet annihilation of biacetyl.


This study aims to find out the impact of covid-19 on teachers' perception who teaches at primary school. This study uses survey method in which involves twenty teachers as the respondents in this study. The technique of collecting the data used questionnaire by Likert scale. The data had been obtained were then analyzed by the writer. As a result of the finding the motivation of the teachers on teaching is good enough on teachers' enthusiasm, spirit, duty and teachers' obligation. However, there are some teachers who make a plan that was taken from the internet. For the implementation of learning can be also categorized is good enough as teachers' preparation, using the media, online learning responses and online learning benefits. Meanwhile, as the teachers' concern was making plan and the implementation of the evaluation students' learning outcomes.


Repetitively pulsed laser propulsion is one of the key beamed energy propulsion (BEP) candidate technology for future space missions. In order to achieve an efficient laser propelled thruster, it is vital to comprehend the Physics of laser-absorption and energy conversion processes of laser supported detonation (LSD) in a laser-produced plasma. In LSD waves, an absorption layer and shock front travel together in which energy is transferred efficiently from laser energy to kinetic energy. However, due to the decay in the intensity of a pulse-laser and the increasing beam cross sectional area of focusing optics, a separation in travel occurs leading to the termination of LSD and subsequent cessation of the transfer process. After the separation, the shock wave propagates adiabatically and inefficiently. It is therefore important to understand the LSD termination and its relation to ambient gas content especially for the outer atmosphere (rocket mode) application. We present in this paper, a comparison between measured and estimated ionization front velocities using a 1-D laser-induced discharge model and measured results. 1 D.Sc.

Survivors of medulloblastoma patients frequently have cognitive impairment, which is currently thought to be due to radiation and chemotherapy. In this work, we have showed that there is widespread changes in diffusion tensor parameters in cerebral white and gray matters, suggestive of brain microstructure damage, even before start of radiation and chemotherapy and not related to hydrocephalus.


For historians of the eighteenth century, and especially for those who study Britain, the expression "coffee house societies" calls to mind a host of associations. Informally constituted gatherings with varying degrees of formality to their structure, these groups offered members—men, for the most part—voluntary engagement with social and intellectual topics in the sciences, technology, arts, aesthetics, and politics. They were especially but not exclusively linked to London. We know these groups were significant to the development and exchange of ideas throughout the eighteenth century, but our grasp of their details is not always secure. Records may not exist or may not offer many specifics. Access to archives of these groups is often via local-history publications that are not always well indexed or easily found. So Trevor Levere and Gerard L'E. Turner, the editors of Discussing Chemistry and Steam, offer us a critical primary source, the extant minutes of a coffee house philosophical society devoted to the study of natural philosophy. Minutes of meetings are the core of the volume, which also includes biographic and bibliographic assessments of the membership and a chart of meeting attendance. These supplements, valuable in themselves, free the reader to concentrate on his or her interests in the minutes, undistracted by the need to re-create basic tools. The data are supplemented with essays by three agile historians of chemistry, enhancing the central information through detailed explorations of the organization, the subject matter, and the risks and protections this society (and similar ones) offered to members' liberal political and scientific outlook. Thorough and helpful notes further clarify subjects, members' interests, and other details. Discussing Chemistry and Steam is an exemplary study of the individuals and the collective, contextualized activities of one apparently typical coffee house society. The Chapter Coffee House Society, officially nameless but called after a principal meeting place, met regularly for seven years. Rules of order, revised from time to time, established governance (chairman, secretary, dues, membership, and attendance), the appropriate topics of discussion B O O K R E V I E W S


s 473 frequent, together with A. dolomiticum Love, in at least one hundred localities across the karst plateaus of Lika and Kordum, mostly in Cymbalaria pallida communities. Both A. dolomiticum and A. javorkeanum are also present on Adriatic coastal mounts and on the insular peaks of Cres, Krk, Brae and Peljesac. True A. ceterach L. is limited to the very coast and isles. It is excessively rare inland and restricted to a few cliffs and gorges in the ophiolite mounts of northern Bosnia and central Croatia (Mt Zrinska Gora). Here it grows in Cheilanthes marantae-Polygonum moesiacum communities, together with A. cuneifolium Viv., A. adulterinum Milde and Cheilanthes marantae (L.) Domin. Former records of all these species (e.g. Schlosser and Vukotinovic 1869) elsewhere on calcareous mountains of Croatia are unsubstantiated and remain problematic. Pteridium tauricum Grossg. has been confirmed recently for the northeast Adriatic coast, and for the intermontane valleys of the west Dinaric Alps, growing in xeric oakwoods and pinewoods on both limestone and serpentine. The interesting affinities and co-existence of A. scolopendrium, A. sagittatum, A. hybridum, A. javorkeanum and A. ceterach growing sympatrically in the Kvarner isles is a centre for the Phyllitis-Ceterach complex in the northeast Adriatic. Their origin here may be related to the Adriatic microplate drifting across the Tethys ocean during Cretaceous-Paleogene. Thus Lovric (1975) proposed a revised genus Phyllitis Hill with the section Phyllitis (incl. P. scolopendrium, P. sagittata, and P. hybrida), and section Ceterach (DC.)

Hybridisation and speciation in the genus Dryopteris in Pico, Azores Mary Gibby and Christopher R. Fraser-Jenkins Department of Botany, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. The species and hybrids of Dryopteris in Pico have recently been described in detail by Fraser-Jenkins (1983). Five species are present (two of which are endemic) and they have given rise to five endemic hybrids. Cytological analysis of the species and hybrids has elucidated the inter-relationships of the species, and provided evidence that one of the species has evolved in the Azores, by hybridisation and chromosome duplication. This is described in Figure 1. Of the hybrids, only one clump has been found of D. x picoensis, but two or more individuals of each of the other hybrids are known from Pico. Considering these finds were made in two days of field work, there appears to be quite a high frequency of hybridisation in the island. Both the tetraploid species, D. dilatata and D. crispifolia, have been shown to be allotetraploid (Gibby et al. 1978; Gibby, in prep.), and chromosome pairing in all the available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0269727000008794 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

In "Ending Civil Wars: A Case for Rebel Victory?" Monica Duffy Toft questions whether policymakers are correct to have a strong preference for terminating civil wars through negotiated settlements.1 Her main endeavor is to undertake a statistical analysis that compares the effect of negotiated settlements, military victories, and ceaseares/stalemates on war recurrence and on the state's level of democracy and economic growth. With respect to war recurrence, which is the focus of this letter, she ands that negotiated settlements are largely ineffective, that civil wars ending in military victory by one side are less likely to recur, and that rebel victories produce the most durable settlements (pp. 7–8). Toft's purpose is not only to understand these phenomena but also to provide policymakers with guidance (p. 22). She recommends that third parties should pay greater attention to security-sector reform (SSR) during negotiations, leading to settlements that can credibly guarantee both beneats from cooperation and harm from defection; failing that, support in pursuit of victory, especially rebel victory, may be a worthy objective for policymakers (p. 36). Given that the stakes and risks of external intervention in a civil war are high, it is worth reoecting on the merits of Toft's results and recommendations. I suggest below that her andings on war recurrence and the stability of rebel victories are not dependable and helpful for policy purposes. Advice to policymakers on war termination ought to be based on case studies that explore causal relationships and examine the role actually played by policymakers in seeking to end civil wars.


Hydrodynamics, density fluctuations, and universality in conserved stochastic sandpiles Author(s): Sayani Chatterjee, Arghya Das, and Punyabrata Pradhan We study conserved stochastic sandpiles (CSSs), which exhibit an active-absorbing phase transition upon tuning density $ρ$. We demonstrate that a broad class of CSSs possesses a remarkable hydrodynamic structure: There is an Einstein relation ${σ}^{2}(ρ)=χ(ρ)/D(ρ)$, which connects bulkdiffusion coe...


This paper presents a novel of a Frequency Reconfigurable Stacked Patch Microstrip Antenna (FRSPMA) integrated with radio frequency (RF) switch. It consists of three substrate layers where all layers uses RT-Rogers 5880 with a thickness of h1=0.787 mm. A 0.3mm (h2) thick air gap is filled between the stacked radiating patch (layer 1 and layer 2) and the feedline substrate to enhance the gain performances, thus reducing the spurious effects from the feeding line. A new coupling method applied in an aperture coupled technique that controlled by the switching circuit is presented. In this design, two different shapes of aperture slots (I-shape and H-shape) were etched on the ground plane. The position of each aperture slot must be located at the centre with reference to the bottom and top patch position. A PIN diode switch was deployed at the feed network to control the length of feedline in order to achieve frequency reconfigurable. By configuring the PIN diode switch either to ON or OFF state, the particular aperture slots on the ground plane will be activated or turned ON, hence allowing waves to radiate to the selected radiating element at different substrate layers (top or bottom patch). The activation of the selected aperture slots and radiating elements ensures the FRSPMA is capable to operate either at 2.6 GHz or 3.5 GHz frequency. The proposed antenna was then fabricated into two structures, with and without the real PIN diode switch (copper stripline). The simulated results were then compared with the measured results to ensure that the antenna's performance in terms of frequency, return loss, gain and the characteristics of the radiation pattern are exceptional. After observation and analyzing made, both results demonstrated a good impedance matching. The findings and results from this research grants a potential benefit to the comprehension of wireless communication systems, especially for Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX applications.


Radiation and hydrolytic resistance of Eu0.054Gd0.014Y0.05La0.111Ce0.2515Pr0.094Nd0.3665Sm0.059PO4 with monazite structure has been studied. The powders were obtained by deposition from solutions. Ceramic specimens with relative density ~97 % were obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering (heating rate Vh = 50 C/min, sintering temperature Тs = 1070 °C, sintering time ts = 18 min). Irradiation by accelerated electrons up to dose of 10 Ge was found not to result in a destruction of the target phase. After the irradiation, an increasing of the leaching rate by an order of magnitude (up to ~10 g/(cm·day)) and a reduction of the mechanical properties by 32% as compared to the non-irradiated ceramic specimen were observed.


Gastric cancer is threatening human health badly. In order to develop a new technique diagnosing gastric precancer, we constructed a simple spectral measuring equipment to obtain the diffuse reflectance spectra from the gastric tissue. First, based on the optical character of tissue, the basic theory of spectra measuring is presented. Then, in term of the change of optical character in tissue induced by cancer, a simple diffuse reflectance spectrometer is constructed. Finally, the diffuse reflectance spectra from normal and cancerous gastric tissue were obtained. It was found that diffuse reflectance spectral differences between the normal and cancerous gastric tissue are obvious in visible light area, especially at 500 nm and 630 nm, but diffuse reflectance spectra measuring can not distinguish the spectra from different walls in tissue. The results proved that spectral measuring equipment has strong potential as an accessorial diagnostic tool of gastric cancer.


Cell therapy is a modern approach in the treatment of most of the diseases which uses stem cells and it has been recently developed rapidly. Cell therapy has shown satisfactory results in this way. Our country, Iran, has played an important role in the development of this new method and the results of stem cell treatment used for the most of the diseases were successful. The results have led to provide clinical-services for these diseases. As a bunch of studies and researches has been done in this area, in Iran, our country has introduced itself as one of the most well-known countries in cell therapy among other countries of the region and also all around the world. In this review, we have analyzed the related information of international clinical-services sites which deals with different types of diseases that are curable by the use of cell therapy or at least they are at the analysis level, different phases of clinical service diseases, the number of researches that have been done in other countries and their situation of their studies, and also rankings of various countries. Consequently, we have compared these results and information in our country, Iran, with other countries to find its position among other powerful countries in the field of cell therapy.

encourage practice in mental arithmetic and solving equations ingo is a game enjoyed by all ages. Community centers, schools, churches, and service organiza tions often have regularly scheduled bingo nights. Although bingo is sometimes called a game of chance, it has been used to raise money for special causes; to provide an enjoyable evening out; and in the classroom, to teach vocabulary, listening skills, mathematics facts, geography, language, and so on. Its history begins with the eighteenth century Italians, who played a similar game called lotto; a variation of the game, known by that name, still exists. In the nineteenth century, this game became popular in the United States and England, with the British renaming the game housey-housey. People in the United States began playing the game but called it keno, which comes from the French word quine, meaning set of five (Wykes 1964). In these games, the numbers selected for making the cards, as well as the shape of the grid, have varied. In the United States, a bingo card is a five-by-five grid displaying numbers from 1 through 75, with a free space in the center, as shown in figure 1.

The above quotation comes from Edgeworth's introduction to the reprint of part of his paper "The Determinateness of Equilibrium."2 It is therefore rather ironic that the conventional interpretation of Mathematical Psychics has recently been questioned by a number of writers. For example Walker (1973, p. 139) asserts that "the indefiniteness of Edgeworth's early thought allowed him to entertain simultaneously two different notions of the equilibrating mechanism of a competitive market" and that "at no point . . . did he describe recontracting in the way that is now thought to characterise his work" (p. 147). Furthermore Tarascio (1972, p. 193) has argued that the diagram used by Edgeworth (1881, p. 28) "has nothing in common with the conventional Box used today." He goes so far as to suggest (p. 193) that "a geometrical manipulation of Edgeworth's diagram . . . results in a box diagram which is nonsensical in terms of the conventional box diagram." Tarascio's suggestion has been followed in papers by Jaffe (1974) and Weatherby ( 1976).3 The acceptance of these assertions would mean that Edgeworth would have to be regarded as rather confused and inconsistent, merely suggesting a few 'lines of inquiry,'


The widespread application of Internet of Things technology, new broadband mobile networks, cloudy computing, and other new information technologies on the Internet has promoted the development of "smart cities." The essence of the "smart city" is to make full use of advanced information technology to realize the intelligent management and operation of the city, thereby creating a better life for the urban people and realizing the harmonious and sustainable development of the city. This article is aimed at studying the innovation of intelligent enterprise management models in the context of smart cities. This article first analyzes and briefly describes the theoretical knowledge of the "smart city" and the current domestic development, then proposes the technology of data warehouses, and finally uses the multiple linear regression formula for analysis. The experimental results of this paper show that in the context of smart cities, the intelligent management model of enterprises has played an important role in the development of enterprises, which is 51.7% faster than the traditional model, and the accuracy is as high as 92.3%.


FIGURE 1. Histiocytoid Sweet syndrome. A patchy infiltrate of pale staining mononuclear cells is present in the superficial reticular dermis (A), beneath an edematous papillary dermis (B). The mononuclear cells have pale, inconspicuous cytoplasm, and are not aggregated, as in a conventional granulomatous dermatitis (C). They surround a small vessel that has swollen endothelial cells, but no fibrin in its wall (D), and there is some nuclear dust. Some have a twisted appearance. A myeloperoxidase immunoperoxidase stain marks both fragmented and elongated cells (E).


Soil micronutrients from their finite source are strongly affected by the inclusion of high-yielding crop cultivars in the cropping patterns and their fertilization practices. A study was conducted to identify the dominant cropping patterns and to evaluate their impacts on soil micronutrients' (Zn, B, Cu, Fe, Mn) status in Tista Meander Floodplain Soils at Mithapukur upazila of Rangpur district, Bangladesh. The study revealed that potato-rice-rice (P-R-R) (18.26%), rice-fallow-rice (R-F-R) (15.65%), and maize-fallow-rice (M-F-R) (13.91%) were the most prevalent among the existing cropping patterns. Zn and B fertilizers are used by 35% and 23% of farmers. The concentrations of Zn, B, and Mn increased while Cu and Fe decreased under all dominant patterns. The highest accumulation of Zn by 281.63%, B by 139.36%, and Mn by 83.13% were obtained under P-R-R while, the highest depletion of Cu by 52.58% and Fe by 24.48% were obtained under P-R-R and M-F-R cropping patterns, respectively. An increasing trend of soil toxicity index (STI) values was observed with Zn, B, and Mn. A deleterious shift of B from lower to higher STI class was obtained under the P-R-R and R-F-R patterns while an ameliorating shift of Cu from higher to lower class was obtained under P-R-R and M-F-R patterns. The recent STI status of Fe and Mn under all cropping patterns rendered in the 'highly toxic' class. This investigation emphasizes that the concentrations of selected micronutrients were found above their respective critical limits and that the studied micronutrients except Zn imposed toxicity in the soil.


MUC4 is a transmembrane adhesion molecule.Recent studies show that it not only expressed in many tissues and organs of the body and is related to the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer,but also is over expressed on the other epithelial tumors and is related to the growth,invasion and metastasis tumors.It is difficult to diagnose the epithelial tumor of ovary early,and MUC4 maybe related to the genesis and development of this kind of tumor.MUC4 can be concerned as molecular marker of the early diagnosis and prognosis of tumor and provide new direction for the therapy.
