Cancer classification using gene expressions is extremely challenging given the complexity and high dimensionality of the data. Current classification methods typically rely on samples collected from a single tissue type and perform a prerequisite of gene feature selection to avoid processing the full set of genes. These methods fall short in taking advantage of genome-wide Next Generation Sequencing technologies that provide a snapshot of the whole transcriptome rather than a predetermined subset of genes. We propose a deep learning framework for cancer diagnosis by developing a multi-tissue cancer classifier based on whole-transcriptome gene expressions collected from multiple tumor types. We introduce a new Convolutional Neural Network architecture specifically designed to address the complex nature of whole-transcriptome gene expressions with capabilities of detecting genetic alterations driving cancer progression by learning genomic signatures across multiple tissue types without requiring the prerequisite of gene feature selection. Our model achieves 98.9% classification accuracy on human samples representing 33 different cancer tumor types across 26 organ sites.

Quantum Boltzmann machines (QBMs) are machine-learning models for both classical and quantum data. We give an operational definition of QBM learning in terms of the difference in expectation values between the model and target, taking into account the polynomial size of the data set. By using the relative entropy as a loss function this problem can be solved without encountering barren plateaus. We prove that a solution can be obtained with stochastic gradient descent using at most a polynomial number of Gibbs states. We also prove that pre-training on a subset of the QBM parameters can only lower the sample complexity bounds. In particular, we give pre-training strategies based on mean-field, Gaussian Fermionic, and geometrically local Hamiltonians. We verify these models and our theoretical findings numerically on a quantum and a classical data set. Our results establish that QBMs are promising machine learning models trainable on future quantum devices.


We consider a simple model of firm/city/etc growth based on a multi-item criterion: whenever entity B fares better than entity A on a subset of M items out of K, the agent originally in A moves to B. We solve the model analytically in the cases K  =  1 and . The resulting stationary distribution of sizes is generically a Zipf-law provided M  >  K/2. When , no selection occurs and the size distribution remains thin-tailed. In the special case M  =  K, one needs to regularize the problem by introducing a small 'default' probability ϕ. We find that the stationary distribution has a power-law tail that becomes a Zipf-law when . The approach to the stationary state can also be characterized, with strong similarities with a simple 'aging' model considered by Barrat and Mézard.

Abstract Background: Ethnoracial groups in high-income countries have a 2-fold higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, associated hospitalizations, and mortality than Whites. Migrants are an ethnoracial subset that may have worse COVID-19 outcomes due to additional barriers accessing care, but there are limited data on in-hospital outcomes. We aimed to disaggregate and compare COVID-19 associated hospital outcomes by ethnicity, immigrant status and region of birth. Methods: Adults with community-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalized March 1–June 30, 2020, at four hospitals in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, were included. Age, sex, socioeconomic status, comorbidities, migration status, region of birth, self-identified ethnicity [White, Black, Asian, Latino, Middle East/North African], intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and mortality were collected. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for ICU admission and mortality by immigrant status, ethnicity and region of birth adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic status and comorbidities were estimated using Fine and Grey competing risk models. Results: Of 1104 patients (median [IQR] age, 63.0 [51.0–76.0] years; 56% males), 57% were immigrants and 54% were White. Immigrants were slightly younger (62 vs 65 years; p = 0.050), had fewer comorbidities (1.0 vs 1.2; p < 0.001), similar crude ICU admissions rates (33.0% vs 28.2%) and lower mortality (13.3% vs 17.6%; p < 0.001) than Canadian-born. In adjusted models compared to White immigrants, Blacks (aHR 1.39, 95% CI 1.05–1.83) and Asians (1.64, 1.15–2.34) were more likely to be admitted to ICU, but there was significant heterogeneity within ethnicity group. Asians from Eastern Asia/Pacific (2.15, 1.42–3.24) but not Southern Asia (0.97, 0.49–1.93) and Caribbean Blacks (1.39, 1.02–1.89) but not SSA Blacks (1.37, 0.86–2.18) had a higher risk of ICU admission. Blacks had a higher risk of mortality (aHR 1.56, p = 0.049). Conclusions: Data disaggregated by region of birth identified subgroups of immigrants at increased risk of COVID-19 ICU admission, providing more actionable data for health policymakers to address health inequities.


Thiamphenicol(THA) and florfenicol(FLO) aqueous solutions were irradiated to different doses by 1 MeV electron beams,and redox reactions of THA/FLO and radicals of OH,e_(eq)~- and ~·H were investigated under various conditions.The results showed that at 8 kGy,the decomposition rate of THA and FLO was 97.2%and 98.5%, respectively.Quantitative and qualitative analysis indicated that OH played a key role in E-beam degradation of the THA and FLO in aqueous solutions,and e_(eq)~- and ~·H radicals could initiate the degradation,too.Seven primary products of the THA and FLO degradation were identified.These indicate that E-beam radiation is an effective method to reduce THA and FLO in aqueous solutions.


We develop a structural credit risk model to examine how the interactions of liquidity and default risk aect corporate bond pricing. By explicitly modeling debt rollover and by endogenizing the holding costs via collateralized nancing, our model generates rich links between liquidity risk and default risk. The introduction of macroeconomic risks helps the model capture realistic time variation in default risk premia and the default-liquidity spiral over the business cycle. Across dierent credit ratings, our calibrated model can simultaneously match the average default probabilities, credit spreads, and bond liquidity measures including Bond-CDS spreads and bid-ask spreads in the data. Through a structural decomposition, we show that the interactions between liquidity and default risk account for 25 40% of the observed credit spreads and up to 55% of the credit spread changes over the business cycle. As an application, we use this framework to quantitatively evaluate the eects of liquidity-provision policies for


Pluralist theory has come under increasing attack of late, the counts in the indictment are numerous.1 The main thrust of the criticism, however, is well represented by the charge of conservative bias on the one hand and irrelevance on the other.2 The charge of conservatism arises largely from the tendency in pluralist theory to equate elite bargaining and negotiation with the generic concept of politics. In this view, any politics that does not take place within the highly controlled context of a legislative committee, executive bureau, and interest-group sub-system, and that is


The purpose of this paper is to investigate the rider kinematics during and after collision and to find the difference in the kinematics and injury mechanism between the driver and pillion rider of motorcycle in a motorcycle/car traffic accidents. Eight full-scale motorcycle/car collision experiments were selected from 22 experiments conducted during the last three years, each with a motorcycle and dummy striking the side of a passenger car. The variations in the rider kinematics depending on the impact speed, impact angle and impact position were clarified by the high speed film analysis and actual accident surveys. In addition, in 13 experiments two dummies were seated on the motorcycle for simulating the driver and pillion rider. In this paper two cases of them were summarized, the differences of their kinematics and injury mechanism were clarified.

Among the diverse movements of the labor force that stem from demographic processes, regional differences in living standards, government needs (departure from job to training or to enter the Soviet Army), differences in working conditions, etc., a large place is occupied by personnel movement—called "release of the labor force" in economics literature—occasioned by technical progress. This type of movement of workers—synthesizing interoccupational, intra- and inter-branch, territorial, and other personnel movement—performs important socioeconomic functions. It serves, in the first place, as a means of mobilizing labor force reserves forming at enterprises (in branches and regions). Under the influence of technical progress, existing quantitative proportions in the distribution of live labor, the content of labor, and the occupational and skill composition of personnel change and the branch structure of the labor force is improved. The regrouping of workers and employees in response to changes in the stru...


In this paper, a design method for obliquely excited artificial gradient-index lenses based on a single-layer fishnet metamaterial is presented. The proposed unit cell design for operation at 60 GHz covers transmission phase values between -180° and +180° at nearly constant magnitude by variation of the geometry parameters. In order to predict the behavior of a specific unit cell geometry under oblique incidence, a model-based approach, accounting for anisotropy and spatial dispersion, was developed. To verify the new method, a lens for collimating a strongly curved wavefront is designed. This lens is compared with a design based on the conventional phase compensation approach in terms of simulation and measurement results.

In recent years, with the growing number of vehicles, the efficient parking management system has become necessary for large buildings. This paper presents a parking occupancy monitoring system which can automatically decide whether a vehicle is parked or empty in each parking space. There are many obstacles in the parking area, such as high diversity in car models, occlusion by other car, moving person, waste trash, and camera lens distortion, making it difficult to detect a vehicle. In order to solve all these problems, this paper proposes to use a part-based and machine learning-based vehicle detection algorithm. We demonstrate that the proposed method performs well on large indoor parking lot dataset which contains the above-mentioned obstacles.

: In the mid-to late 1880s, a little-known Japanese painter named Aoki Toshio arrived in San Francisco, where he made a name for himself as T. Aoki, a painter, newspaper and magazine illustrator, and public storyteller. As a Japanese painter in California, Aoki was subject to prejudice from both Japanese and Americans, each of whom endeavored to situate him within a di ff erent set of social identities and artistic styles. This article assesses his positionality and works, asking what they reveal about the international circuits of Japonisme and Japanese art in the late nineteenth-century.


Medical education is a specialized education model as the professional qualifications, direct contact with the patient, skills and attitudes based on the competencies are being tested. It is important to use various measurement and assessment methods for gathering information about what the students will do to transfer acquired knowledge, skill and attitude in their real life when they are experienced. Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise is an assessment method used for this purpose. The evaluator and the student interact with the patient on the real work during mini-clinical evaluation exercise. The application takes about 15-20 minutes. The students encounter with different patients in different environments with different diagnosis therefore; they find the opportunity to exhibit their performance. They can improve the lacking aspects and can ameliorate the best aspects as they get the feedback from the evaluator about their performance. This article gives information about mini-clinical evaluation exercise such as what it is related about, how it is implemented, how the assessment is made and what are the advantages and disadvantages of the method. Implementation of the mini clinical evaluation exercise in medical faculties and sharing of the results in academic fields are important step for dissemination of performance assessment in medical education.


The possibility of obtaining parthenocarpic hybrids of the female F1 cucumber type in combination with paternal forms of various sexual types – intermediate and predominantly female – has been studied. The research was carried out for four years – 2015-2018, in the winter greenhouse of the "Richelieu" type, in the winterspring turnover, with low-volume cultivation technology. In the competitive and preliminary tests, more than 100 promising hybrid combinations were studied. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the sexual type of perspective parthenocarpic cucumber hybrids for the winter-spring rotation depends on the genotype of the original parental forms. The use of predominantly female-type flowering as paternal forms led to an increase in the female F1 hybrids. In a combination of maternal female-type forms with male-type paternal forms, hybrids of the female sex-type cucumber were obtained, but much less frequently than from crossing with the predominantly female types of flowering. According to the results of the competitive variety testing, two promising hybrids of the cucumber – Murava F1 and Vera F1 were transferred to the state variety testing in 2017. These hybrids were created using the paternal forms of a predominantly female type of flowering.


Hybrid organic–inorganic coatings and free-standing films were prepared and characterized. The hybrids were prepared from [3-(glycidyloxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane, diethoxy[3-(glycidyloxy)propyl]methylsilane, poly(oxypropylene)s of different molecular weights end-capped with primary amino groups (Jeffamines D230, D400, and T403), and colloidal silica particles with hydrochloric acid as a catalyst for the sol–gel process and water/propan-2-ol mixtures as solvents. The structure evolution during the network formation was followed by NMR spectroscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering; the surface morphology was tested by atomic force microscopy. The influence of the reaction conditions (the organosilicon precursor, oligomeric amine, ratio of functional groups, and method of preparation) on the network buildup and product properties was studied and examined. The mechanical testing, based on stress–strain experiments, in combination with dynamic mechanical thermal analysis served as an effective instrument for the optimization of the reaction conditions for the preparation of products with desired properties. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We consider the computation of electronic absorption and Raman scattering spectra when three potential energy surfaces are involved; namely, a ground state surface coupled radiatively to one excited state which is in turn coupled nonadiabatically to a second excited surface. Frequency domain formulas are given for both kinds of spectra under the (standard) assumption of weak radiative coupling, but with no restriction on the nonadiabatic coupling strength. These formulas are transcribed into the time domain so that the computational burden is shifted to determination of the temporal evolution of wave packets simultaneously on both excited surfaces. We show how to implement the appropriate dynamics utilizing a perturbation expansion in the nonadiabatic coupling strength. Finally, extensive numerical results are presented for a one dimensional test system. Lowest order nonvanishing perturbation theory corrections are found to account accurately for nonadiabatic effects of ∼15%. Concentrating mainly on low r...

The mass of air taken in per unit time by an internal combustion engine is a quantity of considerable importance in any analysis of engine performance, and a convenient means of measuring this quantity will often be required by the research worker or development engineer. Where reciprocating engines are concerned, the problem of measurement is not easy, since the flow is of a pulsating nature, for which "constant flow" types of measuring apparatus will, in general, be unreliable. A few suitable methods for measuring pulsating flows have, however, been devised, and what is generally known as the "airbox method"—consisting of the use of a measuring orifice in conjunction with a smoothing capacity—has often been employed, mainly because of its simplicity and the ease with which the necessary apparatus can be constructed.The work of Watson and Schofield (Proc. I.Mech.E., 1912, p. 517) has been of great value to users of the airbox method, but, though it has to some extent been supplemented by later investigat...


In order to realize the influence of iodide impurity on TFT liquid crystal mixture,the experiments of adding iodide impurity in the TFT liuquid crystal mixture was designed.Based on the effects of UV light and low current,the relationship between the VHR test value of TFT liquid crystal mixture and the iodide concentration was analyzed.Experimental results indicate that,in the condition of UV light and low current,the VHR value of TFT liquid crystal mixture will be significantly decreased because of the decomposition of trace iodide impurity.If the iodide concentration in the liquid crystal mixture is higher,the reliability of the liquid crystal mixture will be more worse.Under the condition of this experiment,the reliability of liquid crystal mixture has obvious variation when the iodide concentration is over 20×10-5.


Departure time choice is a complex phenomenon, and continuous-time models are needed, to capitalize on the power of emerging dynamic traffic assignment models while providing the requisite data. Bayesian methods offer valuable, yet often overlooked, opportunities for estimable model specifications that accommodate latent heterogeneity. This work pursues such methods for departure time models using accelerated failure time (AFT) specifications for various trip purposes with several distributional specifications, including the lognormal, Weibull (with and without unobserved heterogeneity), and a mixture of normals. Specifications are compared using the relatively new Deviance Information Criterion (found to be superior to BIC and AIC), offering results that are consistent with inspection of graphical overlays of predicted and observed departure time distributions. The methodologies presented in this paper facilitate the development of more robust models for continuous departure time choices, thus offering useful inputs to emerging traffic assignment models and traffic control measure evaluation (such as implementation of congestion pricing policies). The results derived from an Austin, Texas case study offer meaningful insights into the trip timing distinctions of various travelers across a variety of trip types. Abstract: Models of departure time presently rely on discrete choice or simple proportions across blocks of time within a 24-hour day. Duration models allow for more flexible specifications to explain both unimodal (one-peak) and multi-modal (multi-peak) data, which are common in (aggregate) departure time data. This paper offers Bayesian estimates of continuous departure time models using accelerated failure time (AFT) specifications for various trip purposes with several distributional specifications, including the lognormal, Weibull, Weibull (with and without unobserved heterogeneity), and a mixture of normals. The home-based work (HBW) and non-home-based (NHB) trip models are modeled using unimodal distributions, while the home-based non-work (HBNW) trip departure times are modeled via a bi-modal distribution. The results indicate that a Weibull with unobserved heterogeneity performs well among unimodal distributions, and that multi-peak profile can be modeled well with a mixture of normals.


We study a holographic description for correlation function of 1/4 BPS Wilson loop operator and 1/2 BPS local operator carrying a large R-charge of order \sqrt \lambda. We construct a rotating string solution which is extended in S5 as well as in AdS5. The string solution preserves the 1/8 of the supersymmetry as expected from the gauge theory computation. By evaluating the string action including boundary terms we show that the string solution reproduces correlation function in large J \sim O(\sqrt \lambda) limit. In addition, we found the second solution for which the "size" of the string becomes larger than the radius of S5. In the case J=0, this solution reduces to the previously known unstable string configuration. The gauge theory side also contains a saddle point which is not on the steepest descent path. We show that the saddle point value matches for this case as well.

This paper intends to describe the level of parental understanding in early childhood education in the family, describes parenting patterns and factors that lead to drop out rates and child deviant behavior. In this study the authors used a qualitative approach and data were collected using interview and observation techniques. The results of this study indicate that in general, parents realize the importance of early childhood education but the awareness is not accompanied by the attention to the education of their children so that the pattern of care that is formed is permissive parenting. The most dominant factor affecting early childhood education is environmental factors. Based on the results of this study, the author suggest to families to improve the parental control function of their children's education process in formal school. In addition, parents need to supervise their child's association so that children do not choose the wrong friends in associating. The social environment has a significant impact on changes in children's behavior, increasing the frequency of delinquency or deviant behavior that increases the potential of children to drop out.


Adenosarcoma is a rare tumour of the uterus which contains normal benign epithelial cells together with sarcomatous over-growth of the stroma. The tumour is an intracavitary one which gives rise to bleeding but has a relatively favourable prognosis because it has a low degree of malignancy.


Bacteriophage therapy has been considered as a potential approach to control drug resistant bacteria that cannot be killed by conventionally used antibiotics. Currently, synergism between bacteriophages and antibiotics has been reported to be a more effective therapeutic approach than that using each of these agents alone. In this study, a lytic bacteriophage against S. dysenteriae DMST 15111, SD01, was isolated from a hospital wastewater sample. Host range study revealed that the bacteriophage was specific to genus Shigella. By using the spot test, the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of bacteriophage SD01 and ampicillin against S. dysenteriae DMST 15111 were 10PFU/ml and 31.25 μg/ml, respectively. When they were used together the MICs of both agent were substantially reduced. The results suggested that the bacteriophage and ampicillin had a synergistic inhibitory effect against S. dysenteriae DMST 15111. Therefore, this approach has a potential as a therapeutic approach against Shigella spp.

Nonlinear TE-wave propagation in a symmetric, converging, single-mode Y-junction waveguide is investigated. Numerical results simulated by the beam-propagation method showed that the insertion loss depends on the power of the incident light and can be reduced to 0.89 dB for some appropriate power. The insertion loss can be further decreased, but the wave propagating in the stem begins to oscillate.


Objective To explore how to improve success rate for the rapid method of percutaneous transhepatic catheter drainage (PTCD) under the ultrasound by comparing two ultrasound guided percutaneous biliary drainage catheters. Methods A total of 158 patients with pathologically diagnosed obstructive jaundice were assigned. The PTCD was implemented in the two sections (long axis section of the target bile duct and oblique short axis section of the arget bile duct) of rapid method using a step trocar line under ultrasound guidance, respectively. The section,puncture success rate and complication were recorded and compared. Results The 61 of 69 cases were successful for long-axis bile duct by ultrasound guidance. Eight cases were found with complications at the same time. The 87 of 89 cases were successful for oblique short-axis view of the target bile duct under ultrasound guidance, 2 cases withcomplications. The success rate of the one group was 88.4% (61/69) and the other was 97.8% (87/89) with significant difference (P0.05).Conclusion The success rate for oblique short-axis view of the target bile duct by ultrasound guidance was superior to one of the long-axis bile ducts by ultrasound guidance via a step trocar line under ultrasound guidance for the patients with obstructive jaundice.


Parenting is a challenging process. The crucial role of parents and family in caring, nurturing, protecting and socializing young children is well established across the cultures. Parenting stress may undermine the quality of parent-child interactions as well as the quality of relationships between parents; it also has been linked to behaviour problems in young children. The present study was conducted in Haryana state. Two districts were selected from Haryana state i.e. Hisar and Sirsa. The location was selected purposively due to availability of sample. 200 parents (mothers and father) were selected randomly from both the location for the sample. Parenting Stress Index-short form (PSI-SF) developed by Abidin in 1995 was used to assess the parenting stress among parents. Result revealed that highly significant difference was observed between Sirsa district and Hisar district on the aspect of parenting stress. The mean score showed that parents of Sirsa district have higher level of parenting stress than parents of Hisar district.


Abstract Knowing the distribution of species at the landscape level can give insight into the proximate mechanisms determining the species' range on a regional scale. We used a survey of road-killed animals to investigate landscape features associated with the presence of Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) in central Massachusetts. Volunteers noted road-killed opossums on their daily commutes through the Connecticut River Valley and surrounding towns in 2000 and 2002. We used a GIS to characterize both the locations of roadkills and random points according to elevation, land use, distance to open water, traffic speed and number of observers on the road and then used logistic regression to determine the association of roadkill sites with these variables. Dead opossums were found most often at low-elevation sites with less forest cover and more human development. Although the opossum usually is considered a habitat generalist found primarily in association with woodlands, opossums in central Massachusetts are not associated with woodlands and, instead, are most often found in and near urbanized areas.


The interplay between religion and politics is of particular interest to sociologists and historians. On many accounts, the state has often used religion as a sacred weapon to promote its political legitimacy while religion on the other hand has used the reigning power to impose its doctrine on the masses. This manifestation has featured in the historical development of Muslim scholarship and political ascendancy respectively. Against this backdrop, this study examines the aforementioned feature in the contemporary Muslim narratives using the Madkhaliyah and Surūriyah trends as case studies. The study adopts historical and analytical methods of research. It reveals that the rise of the Surūriyah trend in Saudi constitutes a formidable threat to the political interests of the ruling dynasty; hence, the resort to its persecution by the state authorities. The theology of the Madkhaliyah group is opposed to political reformation, opposition, and awareness and it promotes a peaceful society under an unchecked tyrannical system.


This paper proposes an architecture of 3 rd order SDM(Sigma-Delta Modulator) with delayed feedforward path in order to reduce power consumption and area. The proposed SDM improve the architecture of conventional 3 rd order SDM which consists of two integrators. In the proposed architecture, the coefficient values of the first stage are doubled by inserting the delayed feed-forward path into the second stage. Accordingly, compared with the conventional architecture, the capacitor value(CI) of first integrator is reduced by half. Thus, because the load capacitance of first integrator is the half of original value, the output current of op-amp and the capacitance of integrator in the first stage are reduced by half, respectively. Therefore, the proposed method can optimize the power and chip area. The proposed architecture in this paper is simulated under conditions which are supply voltage of 1.8V and input signal of 1Vpp/1KHz, signal bandwidth of 24KHz, sampling frequency of 2.8224MHz in the 0.18um CMOS process. The simulation results are SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) of 88.9dB and ENOB(Effective Number of Bits) of 14-bits. The total power consumption of the proposed SDM is 180uW. Key-Words: Sigma-delta modulator, Low power, Output current, Delayed feed-forward path, Coefficient, Architecture, Op-amp


Our conventional reference frame (RF) for viewing nature, spacetime, is unable to account for the experimental data provided in Parts I and II so a new RF is utilized. This biconformal base-space (BFBS) RF, consists of two, four-dimensional, reciprocal subspaces wherein one is spacetime, imbedded in the three higher dimensions of emotion, mind and spirit. This model has the quantitative capacity that allows us to understand the new data. This particular BCBS generates (1) simultaneous particle and information wave behavior, (2) connectedness between any two points of spacetime, (3) non-local forces, (4) dual aspects of any measured material property, one from each subspace, with the magnitude ratio of the two aspects depending upon a higher dimensional coupling medium that can be modulated by human intention and (5) non-local information entanglement between any two parts of the overall consciousness-connected system. Utilizing the measured pH(t)-data, this BCBS reference frame is utilized to calculate the spectral amplitude profile of the reciprocal-space aspect as well as the magnitude of the direct-space aspect. This BCBS reference frame is also utilized in a quantitative way to show how information entanglement naturally comes about when the experimental system consists of multiple parts. The various quantitative factors involved in calculating magnitudes of information entanglement between non-local sites, having different degrees of departure from the U(1) EM gauge symmetry state, are demonstrated.

Of the research examining adolescent help-seeking in the family and peer context, there have been several consistent findings showing that the gender of the adolescent, age of the adolescent, and the specific topic of the problem all influence an adolescent's choice of informal help-giver. The purpose of this present study was to unite the adolescent helpseeking literature regarding gender, age, and specific problem type (e.g., Papini, Farmer, Clark, Micka, & Barnett, 1990; Schonert-Reichl & Muller, 1996; Seiffge-Krenke, 1995) with that of expected quality of responses by mother, father, and friend to better understand what criteria an adolescent uses when choosing a parent or friend as a potential help-giver. A sample of 89 adolescents in grades 8 and 11 answered questions in relation to 4 different scenarios. Findings indicate that adolescents are most likely to choose friends to help with interpersonal problems and most likely to select mothers to help with health and school problems. Expectations of expertise are important in selecting a mother or father as a potential help-giver while expectations of nurturance are influential in choosing a friend as a help-giver. Furthermore, when dealing with a stressful problem, early adolescents have higher expectations that their mothers will know how to help them, while girls have higher expectations that their friends will be supportive. Results are discussed in terms of adolescent help-seeking as having a dual function, that of a coping response and relationship development.


The microbial control of Mahanarva fimbriolata is very important to management of this pest in sugarcane crops, however lacks improvement in spraying technology. The work aimed to evaluate a nozzle model adequate to control M. fimbriolata, based on pattern of spray distribution and the space between nozzles. TF4, TTI and AIUB11004VS nozzles containing the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae without adjuvant, with Agral 2% and 4% were used in the assay. We evaluated spacing between nozzles by constructing deposition curves considering maximum CV of 10%, spray angle and nozzle flow for different sprays. The larger nozzle spacings were 85cm for spray with 2% of adjuvant and TF4 nozzle, 70cm for AIUB11004VS without adjuvant addition and 55cm TTI nozzle, independent of spray used. Despite the spray angle, we observed difference between the nozzles to the same spray. The flow was larger for spray with adjuvant at 4%, to TF4 and TTI, while AIUB11004VS showed minor flows when compared to the others nozzles using 2% and 4% of adjuvant. By presenting good results of distance between nozzles and minor spray consumption, AIUB11004VS is a good tool for control of M. fimbriolata.


This study proposes an efficient risk‐targeted framework for integrated optimal seismic design and quantifying target safety of Special Moment‐Resisting Frames (SMRFs) with Buckling‐Restrained Braces (BRBs) in the typical dual steel buildings. This framework provides an automated design procedure formulated as a constrained single‐objective optimization problem to achieve the minimum Life Cycle Cost (LCC) within the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and can be the basis of current seismic codes for target safety calibration. LCC includes initial construction cost and lifetime seismic losses such as repair cost, repair time, and casualties. FEMA P‐58 methodology is employed for the LCC analysis of the building under possible earthquakes during its lifetime, which is able to take into account potential uncertainties in the hazard‐response‐damage‐loss relationship. An appropriate cost model is developed to estimate the initial and repair cost of the studied BRBs. Minimum requirements of ASCE and AISC codes are considered as design constraints. Nonlinear response history analysis through the Endurance Time (ET) method is utilized to estimate the structural responses versus seismic intensity. Three 4‐, 8‐, and 12‐story steel buildings with dual seismic force‐resisting system consisting of SMRF and BRB (called steel SMRF‐BRB) are selected as the case study. Each building is optimally designed with two approaches: (1) LCC‐based design within the proposed framework and (2) code‐based design to minimize initial construction cost. Comparison of optimized buildings with the two design approaches in terms of structural responses and seismic consequences demonstrates that fulfilling the minimum code requirements at a given seismic hazard level is not sufficient to minimize lifetime seismic losses of steel SMRF‐BRBs. This is because the optimal designs obtained from the code‐based approach are associated with damage concentration, irreparability, and high collapse probability, especially in seismic events more severe than the design level. The proposed LCC‐based approach provides useful information for improving the lifetime seismic performance of steel SMRF‐BRBs.

With the continuous innovation and development of teaching reform, not only the people-oriented teaching concept has been recognized by the public, but also various modes of education and teaching reform have developed vigorously. In this paper, according to the actual situation of the current physics classroom teaching, the interest of middle school students in learning physics and their understanding of physics history are preliminarily investigated and counted, and some basic conclusions are drawn: some extremely bad phenomena and problems exist in the current physics teaching, such as the students' interest in learning is not high, the students' knowledge of the history of physics is especially poor, and the teachers' evaluation of students is not scientific. Interest is the best teacher to teach learning. The history of physics has rich educational value, and the evaluation of education plays a very good role in promoting students' learning interest and learning effect. In this paper, the necessity and application of the history of physics in physics teaching in middle school are put forward based on the new physics curriculum standard and the research results of pedagogy and psychology.


Photonic crystal fibres (PCFs) can now be constructed exhibiting a wide range of dispersion profiles and nonlinearities, which have enabled the demonstration of many nonlinear optical phenomena. In our experiments, we have used a range of fibres with varying zero group velocity dispersion (GVD) points around the visible red pump wavelength. Upshifted sidebands can be generated which span the entire visible range from the blue to the red, whilst the corresponding downshifted sidebands range from approximately 750 to 1000 nm. We have demonstrated that newly developed PCFs can be used as efficient parametric frequency generators, and, in principle, a PCF based fibre optic parametric oscillator could generate a tunable all solid state source spanning the entire visible spectrum. Such a source would, however, require the production of PCFs with very uniform fibre diameter and the development of higher power single transverse mode solid state lasers in the red.


We discuss basic concepts of the frequency-shifted feedback (FSF) laser and of our approach to modeling the physics of this device. Such apparatus offers potential for measuring incremental heights of surfaces with micrometer accuracy over meter or kilometer distances. We present experimental results, obtained using a Yb3+ fiber ring laser, that demonstrate the usefulness of such a device.


Thirteen centiped species and one symphylan are reported from the Galapagos Islands. Hanseniella caldaria (Hansen) is the first symphylan reported from the Galapagos Islands. Among the centipeds, Hemiscolopendra galapagosa Chamberlin is a new synonym of Scolopendra galapagoensis Bollman and should be deleted from the Galapagos list. Cormocephalus andinus Kraepelin, its probable junior synonym C. carolus Chamberlin, and Nannopodellus purpurascens Chamberlin, previously reported from the Galapagos Islands, were not in any collections made from 1974 to the present and may be extinct on the islands. Lamyctes coeculus (Brolemann), Lamyctes fulvicornis Meinert, and Newportia monticola Pocock are new records, and first appear in collections made in 1974. Two new species, Pectiniunguis krausi and Pachymerium perdrai, are described. The former had been misidentified previously as Pectiniunguis albermarlensis Chamberlin. While Pectiniunguis albemarlensis and Scolopendra galapagoensis may be Galapagos endemics, lack...


Particle filtering is a standard method for parameter estimation in passive location and has great application value in nonlinear and non-Gaussian systems. The standard particle filter (PF) is prone to the problem of particle weight degradation and particle dilution as the number of iterations increases, which affects the overall performance of the location algorithm. Aiming at this problem, a PF algorithm based on differential squirrel search algorithm (DSSA) optimization is proposed. The particles are divided into optimal individuals, sub-optimal individuals, and ordinary individuals according to the weight of the particles. The low-weight particles are moved closer to the position of the high-weight particles by simulating the predation behavior of squirrels, so that the location information of most particles can be retained. And seasonal monitoring condition is used to avoid the algorithm falling into local optimal. The simulation results show that the improved algorithm has a lower root mean square error (RMSE) than the standard PF algorithm and the improved PF algorithms of other intelligent optimization algorithms under non-Gaussian noise. The improved algorithm can accurately achieve the passive location of the moving target.


The effects of norepinephrine, phenylephrine, isoproterenol, phenoxybenzamine and carbamylcholine on the incorporation in vivo of 33Pi into phospholipids of rat brain were studied at 5 aumd 30 minutes after intracisternai injection of the radionuclide. Norepinephrine, an alpha and beta adrenergic stimulator, and phcnylephrine, an alpha adrenergic stimulator, enhaneed the labeling of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidyl inositol at both times, whereas isoproterenol. a beta adrenergic stimulator, had no effect. Phenoxyhenzamine, an alpha adrenergic blocking agent, blocked the stimulatory effect of norepinephrine and phenylephrine. The pattern of stimulatin of individual phospholipids by norepinephrine was different from that of carbamylcholine, a cholinomimetic agent, in that norepinephrine had a sigimificantly greater effect on the labeling of phosphatidic acid and had no effect on the labeling of phosphatidyl choline, a phospholipid markedly stimulated by carbamylcholine. These studies suggest that time metabolism of phosphatidie acid and phosphatidyl inositol in rat brain is associated with rapid membrane processes controlled in part by alpha adrenergic mechanisms and differ from the effects on phospholipid metabolism which are produced by cholinergic mechanisms. The data also indicate that the metabolism of phosphatidyl choline may be related to slower menmbrane Processes controlled by cholinergic mechanisms.


Despite extraordinary progress in many aspects of human endeavour during the past 20 years, it is somewhat humbling to realise that we remain vulnerable to the smallest living organisms on Earth.


In November of 1991, the First ISCCP (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project) Regional Experiment (FIRE) Phase II cirrus study took place at Coffeyville, Kansas. The field experiment incorporated instrumentation from surface, aircraft, and satellite to attempt to define the optical, radiative, and microphysical characteristics of these high altitude, predominantly ice clouds. The NCAR King Air research aircraft was outfitted with a variety of radiative and microphysical instrumentation for the FIRE II project. Included for this project was the SSH-2, a 16-channel passive radiometer. The SSH-2 was originally designed as a space-qualified infrared (IR) temperature and water vapor sounder for deployment onboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) series of environmental satellites. For this experiment, only those channels associated with the water vapor profiling function have been examined although downwelling radiance measurements were taken at all channels during the project. With supporting information from the aircraft telemetry observations it may be possible to relate these SSH-2 measurements to cloud radiative and microphysical properties. The following sections will describe the spectral characteristics of the instrument, the calibration scheme used to convert the raw measured counts into calibrated radiances, and the case studies that will be covered in this paper. This will be followed by a discussion of the results of this preliminary investigation and a description of future work to be done.


Human sensory systems allow individuals to see, hear, touch, and interact with the surrounding physical environment. Understanding human perception and its limit enables us to better exploit the psychophysics of human perceptual systems to design more efficient, adaptive algorithms and develop perceptually-inspired computational models., In this talk, I will survey some of recent efforts on perceptually-inspired computing with applications to crowd simulation and multimodal interaction. In particular, I will present data-driven personality modeling based on the results of user studies, example-guided physics-based sound synthesis using auditory perception, as well as perceptually-inspired simplification for multimodal interaction. These perceptually guided principles can be used to accelerating multi-modal interaction and visual computing, thereby creating more natural human-computer interaction and providing more immersive experiences. I will also present their use in interactive applications for entertainment, such as video games, computer animation, and shared social experience. I will conclude by discussing possible future research directions.

Spatially distributed acoustic sensors find increasingly new applications in speech-based human-machine interfaces. One well researched topic is the localisation of an emitting source from Time-Difference-Of-Arrival (TDOA) measurements. This manuscript shows how to exploit the source localization framework and its state of the art techniques to accurately estimate the actual sound speed and the air temperature by measuring TDOAs of an unknown located acoustic source. Simulations and experiments show the validity of the proposed method.


The theory of an internal photoemission effect (IPE) in Schottky junctions has been reviewed, and the existing Vickers model has been commented and enriched. Indeed, since the modified Fowler equation is very often used to describe the IPE even when approximations on which it is based are not met, we have derived precise conditions that allow the use of the modified Fowler equation and, possibly, as it may change in the case where these conditions were not verified. Our theory shows how the performance of the surface-illuminated Schottky devices can be optimized, and we propose an analytical formulation able to calculate the metal thickness maximizing the efficiency of the devices. In addition, we prove how the minimum detectable optical power is closely linked to the area of the metal-semiconductor junction. The model has been applied to describe the theoretical limitations on the performance of surface-illuminated silicon Schottky photodetectors at both near-infrared wavelengths and room temperature. Our insights are of great importance to understand if IPE-based Si devices have the potentialities to compare favorably with photodetectors realized with materials based on III-V elements (e.g., GaAs and GaAsIn) and to play a key role in the telecommunications.


In this paper, the problem of chaos synchronization between the master chaotic neural network and the slave network is investigated. The parameters of the master system is completely unknown and the system is perturbed by external disturbances. First, a simple observer based on tracking differentiator is designed to estimate all the nonlinearities, unknown system functions and disturbances. Then, appropriate controller with dynamic active compensating characteristics is proposed. Subsequently, based on the singular perturbation theory, the control method can guarantee the stable of the error dynamic system. Two illustrative examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique.


Quran is an eternal miracle for depicting its linguistic perfection, truth, and validating of the latest scientific research. Every Muslims must conceive and implement the commandments, also avoid the prohibitions mentioned in the Quran. Each verse of the Quran has a different meaning, and one verse in the Quran can depict one or more topics of class that can be studied. To ease learning and to understand the verses of Quran, each of them needs to be classified appropriately on its different topics. In this research, the model of classification was built that is able to identify the topics classes of each verse of Quran by multi-label classification approach. The model was built using Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN). In order to improve performance, Mutual Information (MI) is employed to select dependent variables. The results show that the classification model built using TAN with MI obtained best performance with average Hamming Loss of 0.1121, while the model built using TAN without MI obtained average Hamming Loss of 0.1208.


The preparation of #beta#-(1→3)-glucan by the alkalilysis method from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied in this paper. It was indicated that #beta#-(1→3)-glucan was the major component of the acquired products by IR analysis. It could make the cucumber plants resistance to B. cinerea when used for seed soaking. The plants resistance could be maintained for 14 days. The rates of the diseased leaf of the plants induced with 500 mg/L and 1 000 mg/L glucan were 37.9%-57.9% and 38.4%-59.0% lower than that of the control, respectively. The relative immunization efficiencies were 75.0%-90.9% and 77.5%-92.1%, respectively.


Seismology now includes study of the Sun's corona, a promising research target both in its own right and for its role in the relationship between the Sun and the Earth and its links to the solar field. In addition, the corona, as a natural plasma, is itself an objective fundamental physics. Observations using spacecraft such as SOHO and TRACE highlight the interrelationship between the magnetic field and corona. Abstract

Vicky Gunn, Bede's Historiae: Genre, Rhetoric and the Construction of Anglo-Saxon Church History (Woodbridge: The Boydell Press, 2009). 256 pp. ISBN 978-1-84383-465-6. £50.00.Highlighting 'a seeming polarisation in the historiography between those ... who look to the role of Bede's life as a monk surrounded by sources ... and those . . . who prefer to see Bede predominantly as a skilful political rhetorician', Vicky Gunn contends that both groups underestimate 'the extent to which Bede's narratives were constructed within generic boundaries and rhetorical limits dependent on non-contemporary pre-existing frameworks and that such a method of composition may well have dramatically affected the "historicity" of his portrayals' (p. n). Although it is stressed that the authence for such works is uncertain, the 'political' value of Bede's erudition is underlined: 'Latin literacy could also be used to enhance one's own monastery in a competitive environment' (p. 35).The environment in question, teased out in chapter 2, is one of rivalry between Northumbrian houses, ecclesiastical factions, and their royal patrons, the dynamics of which, ultimately hypothetical, are articulated with ingenuity. Association with Rome is perceived as a key tool in the relevant manoeuvrings: it is argued that the anonymous Vita Ceolfridi^ here understood to portray Ceolfrid as the best-informed Roman monastic, was produced to enhance the status of Wear mouth-Jar r ow at the expense of Bishop Wilfrid of Ripon and Hexham (pp. 63-5). No comment is offered on the theory (current since 1984) that this text was in fact written by Bede himself.Chapter 3 labours to prove that Bede crafted the Historia ecclesiastica (HE) to enhance the status of Wearmouth-Jarrow, 'through a sophisticated method of textual manipulation, omission and apparent "discretion"' (p. 68). The ways in which he arguably portrayed other foundations in a negative light (as pro-Irish) or omitted to note their positive connections with Rome are duly catalogued. The absurdity of the hypothesis, however, is that Wearmouth-Jarrow, the supposed beneficiary, far from appearing as 'the best of the best', as Gunn asserts (p. 87), hardly features in the HE at all. The attempt to minimize this difficulty on the grounds that 'having already completed the History of the Abbots c.ji6, Bede did not need to reiterate what he had already established in text form elsewhere' (p. 89) is ludicrous. No early medieval author could assume that a reader of one of his works would have another of them to hand; Bede was acutely conscious of the limited availability of texts outside his own monastery; and the oldest manuscripts of the HE do not include copies of the Historia abbatum^ arguing against an early formal association of the two works.No less contentious is the broader assessment of the HE in chapter 7. Stressing the influence of literary conventions on Bede's approach, Gunn systematically questions whether any historical 'truth' lies behind the portrayal of his major characters. While the Northumbrian rulers Edwin, Oswald, and Oswy may indeed be constructed within concepts of kingship influenced by Eusebius and Gregory the Great (p. 162), the assertion that they are a composite image of royal virtues, their differences the result of Bede's wish to avoid repetition (p. …


More than half of the total number of Basic Education Schools under the Ministry of Education in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar are schools with 100 or less students. As many schools are extremely small in size, a large amount of resources such as teachers and facilities are required per student. The resources that can be devoted to education are limited, and the efficient use of these resources is essential to ensure that the basic education school system is affordable and sustainable for Myanmar. The question is whether the consolidation is realistic and to what extent resources can be saved. When considering the possibility of commuting to school, it is impossible to integrate schools that are distant from each other. Then simulations were conducted to see what would happen if schools that were within a distance of 1Km, 2Km, and 3Km were consolidated. Taking into account the availability of quality data, the analyses were conducted in Kayar State where the population density was relatively small and in Ayeyawady Region where the population density was relatively large. As there are many mountainous areas in Kayar State and many delta areas in Ayeyawady Region, the same analyses were performed in Mandalay and Yangon Regions where there were many flat areas and few natural obstacles. But the results were generally similar. In other words, by consolidating schools up to the 3Km maximum, straight distance between schools, the number of schools can be reduced by less than half, and the number of teachers can be reduced by 16-26% mainly for the primary school course, and by 8-11% even if for a distance of 1Km. Consolidation of up to 3Km would increase the median size of the school to about three times the current situation, but it would still be suitable for about two classes per grade at primary schools. As for the number of teachers, the shortage of teachers as a whole is sufficiently resolved, leaving room for surplus.

If the expansion of the 'second economy' in contemporary Hungary is considered in the context of the wider labour market, the second economy can be seen to have brought only limited panaceas to economic problems, whilst accentuating inequalities and moral tensions. But some new forms of work may have very appealing aspects, and the suggestion that an all‐embracing market model is the only alternative to the reform path followed hitherto is untenable. Such calls perpetuate the tradition of East European intellectuals in thrall to the West, and to some rather unhelpful Western ideas at that, including the concept of 'civil society'. With the best theorists apparently committed to solving the problems of a small East European country in the late twentieth century with preindustrial Western remedies, it is not surprising that there has been little sign to date in Hungary of any rapprochement between intellectuals and the bulk of the working population. It is an error to abstract the second economy from the fi...


Panelist Claim Certain aspects of software system design need to be resolved at the system level, because many can only be dealt with effectively there. First, there are architectural issues that center on the formulation of a viable system-level design that accommodates essential problem complexity. Otherwise, considerable undue complexity will inevitably be introduced through belatedly added capabilities or features. Second, there are vital systemic properties and behaviors that are inherently inaccessible and intractable at strictly the component level. These need to be resolved at the system level in order to properly specify components, and hence to avoid costly redevelopment or capability shortfalls. This position paper focuses on the latter aspects, systemic software system design issues.


Contemporary civilized countries provide an increasing number of opportunities for overeating and decreased muscular exercise, where common health problems are closely correlated to this over-nutritional state and its typical consequence, obesity. Therefore, obesity has become a main target for medical research in the field of preventive medicine. Previous studies on the morbidity of obesity have indicated that the severity of complications such as glucose intolerance or lipid disorders does not necessarily correlate to the extent of body fat accumulation, but is closely related to body fat distribution.1–4 Several classifications of obesity concerning body fat distribution have been proposed in order to distinguish the possible mechanisms of morbidity of obesity. An ancient Japanese artist showed great insight into the morbidity of obesity 800 years ago when he painted a picture of an obese woman with the title of "A very obese woman who can hardly walk" (Figure 1) in the old Japanese picture scroll "Yamai-Zoshi", which means a scroll for various morbid states.5 This artist had already noticed that this type of obesity was considered

A new station for the observation of solar decametric radio bursts has been developed at Miyagi Vocational Training College in Tsukidate, Miyagi, Japan. Using the swept frequency radiospectrograph covering a frequency range from 20MHz to 40MHz within 200 msec, with bandwidth of 30kHz, the radio outbursts from the sun have been currently monitored with colored dynamic spectrum display. After July 1982, successful observations provide the data which include all types of solar radio bursts such as type I, II, III, IV and V in the decametric wavelength range. In addition to these typical radio bursts, rising tone bursts with fast drift rate followed by strong type III bursts and a series of bursts repeating rising and falling tone bursts with slow drift rate have been observed.

The secondary decomposition of fragment ions produced by electron impact of carbinolamine ethers was studied by mass analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry. A new case was observed of ions of the same structure leading to the same fragments through different mechanisms competing in the metastable time frame and accompanied by a different partitioning of the excess energy (internal vs translational). The role of a fractional positive charge localized at saturated centres in the reactivity of these gaseous organic ions is discussed.


BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common endocrine disorder of reproductive age women. Many controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) strategies have been offered for the treatment of patients with PCOS undergoing in vitro fertilization, but the optimal protocol is still a controversy. There is no compelling evidence for the advantage of one stimulation protocol over the other. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a single-center prospective controlled study comparing long agonist and antagonist protocol in PCOS women. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in live birth rate and clinical pregnancy rate. Rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was significantly higher in the agonist group. Number of oocytes retrieved, number of follicles and peak estradiol levels were significantly more in the agonist group. CONCLUSION: The GnRH antagonist protocol is an equally effective but safer protocol in PCOS patients compared with the long agonist protocol.

Data mining is the art and science of intelligent analysis of (usually large) data sets for meaningful (and previously unknown) insights and is nowadays actively applied in a wide range of disciplines related to agriculture. Association Rule Mining is a powerful tool for generating rules from vast and diversified data such as agricultural datasets. Due to the emerging importance of data mining techniques and methodologies in the area of agriculture, this paper is a survey of some previous researches done in this field. For sustainable growth of agriculture, these methodologies need to be monitored and analyzed optimally.


Social restrictive measures during COVID‐19 pandemic has influenced people's mental health conditions across different countries. Global studies indicated an increased prevalence of anxiety disorder and depression with varied impacts among different age groups. Most studies in the elderly have been done via surveys or internet medias missing out on people with no access to digital technology tools. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression among elderly people aged 65 years and above who attended mental health service for older adults (MHOA).


Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attractive advantages as flat panel display and flat lighting device. The EL performance of OLED is often described as the external quantum efficiency. The external quantum efficiency is defined as the product of light out-coupling factor, PL quantum efficiency, exciton factor (singlet, 0.25), and carrier balance factor. Carrier balance factor is described as the ratio of recombination current to the current flowing in a external circuit. We estimate the above parameters by means of assuming the exciton distribution due to concentration diffusion. We use naphthyl-substituted diamine derivative as a hole transport material and aluminum quioline as an emission material. The external quantum efficiency is enhanced from 0.92% to 1.1% by introducing hole-blocking layer. When the exciton distribution in steady state is assumed to be a simple exponential defined by the diffusion length, EL intensity can be calculated. By comparing the experimental value with the calculated value, we can estimate the range of the above parameters.


ABSTRACT This article explores the history of the Danish libertarian movement by analysing its ideological universe and networks, with a focus on Libertas, from the 1980s to the 2000s. To a large extent, the movement created its ideological universe and networks with resources drawn from American libertarianism that were adapted to and implemented in a Danish context. Over the course of two decades, Danish libertarians became prominent advocates of privatization with the aim of dismantling the welfare state and generated a wide reservoir of arguments for transforming the welfare state to a greater market-based organization through privatizing and marketizing its public sector. In four sections, the article illuminates the rise of the Danish libertarian movement in the context of a youth revolt from the right launched from within the Conservative Youth Party in the early 1980s and describes how a group of theoretically inclined and internationally oriented young conservatives pursued libertarian visions by contributing to political debates about privatization of the public sector and environmentalism in the 1980s and 1990s and finally how the libertarian movement in the 2000s moved closer to the established institutions of political power, while at the same time mushrooming into a plurality of smaller forums.


The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in the management of HIV lead to a substancial decline in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) mortality. However, the optimization of patients response to this therapy is highly dependent on medication adherence. The objective of this study is to identify the determinants of adherence to HAART and HIV/AIDS patients' adherence in a selected HIV clinic. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study using an interviewer administered questionnaire. The pretested questionnaires were distributed to 400 patients that met stated inclusion criteria. The instrument was divided into sections that inquired on the demographic characteristics of the patients and factors affecting adherence. Data collected were analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and presented in tables and figures. The result of the study indicated that the extent of availability of HAART at the clinic was not satisfactory as well as the patients' knowledge and awareness about the disease. The study further reaveled a poor adherence to medication as 87% of the respondents indicated missing their doses at one time or the other and 37.11% showed less than 95% adherence. Factors that contributed to non-adherence include side effects, fasting and simply forgot among others. As high as 74.28% of the respondents said that adverse effects had great impact on their adherence and 94.03% indicated experiencing adverse effects as a result of HAART. The study identified poor availability of HAART and adverse effects to medication among others as strong contributing factors to non-adherence.

Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and subcritical crack growth (SCG) measurements of chemical-vapor-ilfiltrated (CVI)-SiC matrix, reinforced with Nicalona fibers and with a 1-11m-thick C fiber / matrix interface, have been conducted at 1100°C over O2 / Ar mixtures ranging from 0.25% to 20.0% 02 . The TGA and interfac e recession measurements both gave linear reaction kinetics for 02 concentrations of 2.0% or less and a reaction order of unity. Subcritical crack-growth measurements demonstrated that crack velocity in the stress intensity-independent Stage II regime increases with increasing 02 / Ar ratio. Also, the transition from Stage II to the stress intensity-dependent Stage III regime is shifted to lower stress intensities with increasing O2 / Ar ratio. A time-dependent crack-growth model that incorporates creep of the bridging SiC fibers and the removal of the C interfacial lay e r by oxidation successfully explains the subcritical crack-growth characteristics.


Abstract Citation analyses were carried out on master's theses in three disciplines: forensic psychology, forensic science, and criminal justice, completed and deposited in the John Jay College Library from 1991 to 2004. The aim was to determine the effect of availability of electronic journals on students' choice of references. The number of journal citations and the ratio of journal articles to all citations were assessed. Criminal justice theses listed more citations than either science or psychology theses, but relatively fewer journal articles. An increase over time was seen in the number of journal articles cited and in the ratio of journal articles to all citations only for the psychology theses. Few students identified whether the work cited was consulted in electronic or print format.


The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration contracted with seven organizations to investigate certain types of accidents in select urban, suburban, and rural areas: 100% of the accidents involving a fatality or overnight hospitalization of a participant in the accident; 25% of the collisions that resulted in a participant requiring treatment at a hospital emergency room; and 10% of the collisions which involved no injury or an injury not requiring emergency medical treatment. In all accidents investigated, the passenger car involved in the accident had to be damaged severely enough to be towed from the scene. This "National Crashworthiness Severity Study," was designed to investigate various proposed accident severity measurements, such as delta "V", relative velocity, and absorbed energy; to determine the national cumulative distribution function of accident severity and fatal and injury accidents; to determine the relationship between accident severity and injury severity; to use data collection areas and sampling and investigation techniques that are prototypes for a National Accident Sampling System; to find the occupant contact points, intruding objects, or avenue for ejection involved in moderate and greater injuries; to obtain improved data on medical treatment needed and work days lost due to injuries; and to evaluate head restraints and side-door beams. Work of the team from Dynamic Science, Inc. (investigating accidents in the Los Angeles area) and the team from the University of Miami (investigating accidents in the Miami area) is discussed. Investigation procedures and techniques are given, as well as problems, such as safety risks to investigators.

Transactional Memory(TM) is being studied widely by researchers, which is viewed as a new parallel programming model for synchronizing concurrent accesses to shared data object in multi-core or many-core systems. Research result shows that TM has a good performance over Lock using micro-benchmarks. The performance of real applications based on TM is still not clear. In this paper, we describe how to build Simulation System of Earthquake Precursory Observatory Equipment (SSEPOE) using Dynamic Software Transactional Memory (DSTM) and compare the scalability of it to that of lock-based one. Experimental result shows that the performance of SSEPOE based on STM have no advantages than lock-based one and it has a little convenience than lock in programming SSEPOE, this is because SSEPOE is rather simple and the experimentation computer only has two cores. If the computer has more cores and the real application is more complex, the version based on STM will outperform the lock-based one. Another hand, because DSTM2 did not support long transactions, SSEPOE Server did not realize all synchronization of threads using transactions. We only used transactions in the execution process of command instead of locks. We also gave insights into development techniques to encounter in developing SSEPOE Server and discussed the shortcomings of DSTM APIs.

The genetic relationships among 38 genotypes of beer barley from China were investigated by RAPD.The results showed that 28 arbitrary primers produced 153 distinctive bands in total and 91 of them were found to be polymorphic,which accounted for 59.4%.Each primer could amplify 1 to 8 polymorphic bands with an average of 3.3 bands.Cluster analysis showed that 38 beer barley could be classified into 2 groups at the level of GD 0.27,which were respectively classified into 5 subgroups again.The GD varied from 0.00952 to 0.37846. Most beer barley had showed certain regular distribution in every subgroup.The results indicated that the genetic basis of them was rather narrow.


The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of creative drama based group guidance and cognitive-behaviorist techniques based psychological group counseling on reducing state and trait anxiety level of adolescents. Quasi-experimental design was used in the study. Research group was composed of 8th grade students attending an Elementary School in the city of Nigde. The data were collected via State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The students, who scored high on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and who participated voluntarily, were appointed via random into groups. First experimental group is ten students, second experimental group is seven students, and control group is ten students. As a result, the study shows that the group using cognitive-behaviorist techniques and the psychological guidance and creative drama based group guidance were effective in reducing the situated anxiety but not effective in reducing the permanent anxiety. Significant difference between the two applications was not found.


Abstract. Exciton–LO phonon interaction of the Fröhlich type is studied in the CdS/CdSe/CdS asymmetric double quantum well under an applied laser field. The intensity of laser effect on the exciton binding energy, oscillator strength, optical transition energies, and third-order harmonic generation are investigated by changing the right well sizes and barrier sizes. The laser-associated confined energies and their corresponding binding energies are brought out with the variation of well sizes. The position-dependent potential is altered by the laser-associated parameter. The laser-field-dependent third-order optical susceptibilities due to interband transitions in the asymmetric well are investigated. The effective Coulomb potential, using the Aldrich and Bajaj polaronic effect, is included in the Hamiltonian. The results show that the laser field considerably affects the confining potential of the quantum well and causes a drastic deformation of the confining potential profile. The obtained optical nonlinearities suffer a redshift in the asymmetric quantum well; also, their peak values are determined by the dipole matrix elements.
