This text is an edit of the audio transcript of interviews with scientists John Ellis, Alessandra Gnecchi and Wolfgang Lerche from my video, The Holographic Universe Theory of Art History (THUTOAH). THUTOAH investigates the holographic principle and the theory that our universe could be understood as a vast and complex hologram, and hypothesises that, beyond acknowledged art historical contexts and imperatives, artists may have also been unconsciously attempting to describe the holographic nature of the universe. Projecting over 25,000 chronological images from art history (from cave painting to global contemporary art, including outsider and psychedelic art), THUTOAH echoes conceptually the actions of CERN's particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), accelerating at 25 images per second in a looped sequence. Alongside this colossal library of images is a soundtrack of interviews with, and watercolours by, the scientists at CERN - illustrations and articulations of the holographic principle. THUTOAH hypothesises a reality that has perhaps been intuited over the ages, a reality beyond the already documented intentional depictions of spiritual, mystical or transcendent realities or altered states of consciousness; the reality of the holographic nature of the universe.


During operation, pipeline hydraulic characteristics change due to the presence of sedimentary layers in pipes. The efficiency coefficient in an important parameter for the evaluation of the pipeline operation.Purpose: The aim of this work is to prove the necessity of using the efficiency coefficient in the hydraulic analysis of water supply and removal with internal sedimentary layers in pipes in order to predict their hydraulic characteristics with any (measured) thickness of the sedimentary layer.Methodology: Dependences used herein are repeatedly published by the authors.Research findings: Calculation tables are developed to design the reference manual "Calculation tables for hydraulic analysis of water removal in pipes with sedimentary layers".Practical implication: The proposed values of the efficiency coefficient of water supply and removal can be used in hydraulic calculations to predict the hydraulic potential of pipes with sedimentary layers.


Specific features of work of mine rescuers (work with use of isolating respiratory equipment, intense physical activity under high temperature of the environment, being accompanied with high level of emotional intensity), carry them to special professional category, which persons with certain physiological and psychophysiological possibilities can make only. Physical and to a certain degree psychological adaptation to future professional activity takes place in higher education institutions by means of physical culture. Considering complexity of future activity and requirements shown to physical standards of future mine rescuer, their professional and applied physical preparation of mine rescuers begins already with the first course. By the method of pair comparisons it has been revealed that future mine rescuer should possess emotional stability, stability of attention and general endurance. The revealed qualities can serve as significant criteria at the stage of selection of students` youth as mine rescuers.

About 4827 Indian researchers were involved in authoring/co-authoring these papers and many publications were coauthored with foreign researchers spread across 44 countries. Notable achievements in the field of ocean sciences in the recent past are (a) a revolutionary understanding on the coupled processes over the tropical ocean and atmosphere, (b) enhanced capability in the numerical ocean modeling and data assimilation, (c) advancements in remote sensing techniques, algorithms and applications, (d) progress in our knowledge on coastal processes, and (e) marine bio-geochemistry.


The article presents the results of study of antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from the lake Baikal ecosystem. It was revealed that in the littoral zone of the lake Baikal (area of Listvyanka, Baikalsk, Slyudyanka) under the anthropogenic impact there are strains of microorganisms resistant to a wide range of antibiotics. Strains resistant to all antibiotics are 1 % of the isolated bacterial strains; strains sensitive to all antibiotics are 6 %; strains isolated from the drill samples of bottom sediments are 80 %. This phenomenon can be considered as an indicator of anthropogenic influence.


The use of 3D seismic as an exploration tool offshore Egypt has proven highly successful for British Gas International and partners in 1997. Drilling in the BG operated Rosetta Concession, located in the western Nile Delta, has resulted in a success rate over 4 wells of 100% and the discovery of three new gas fieIds (P1, P2 and P3).


In this paper, we present an approach to qualitative description of images containing non-overlapping 2D objects. This approach consists of extracting the properties of the main points of the objects in an image and applying qualitative models to them. Qualitative models of shape and size describe visual features of the objects in the image, while qualitative models of orientation and distance describe spatial features of those objects. Finally, a string which describes the image in qualitative terms is obtained. This string can be used to compute the relationships between the objects in the image and also to compare images by obtaining a degree of similarity between them.


he treatment of anovulatory patients with induction agents such as Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) has greatly increased the incidence of multiple pregnancies. 1 The report of the 5-year study of the Office of Population Census and Surveys in the UK documents that 36% of mothers of triplets and 70% of mothers of quadruplets and above had received drugs for induction of ovulation. If conception takes place during a cycle in which clomiphene is given, the high fetal order is said to be as often as 6.9% twins, 0.5% triplets, 0.3% quadruplets and 0.13% quintuplets. 2 We report a case of quadruplets gestation following administration of clomiphene for just one cycle. The objective is to remind ourselves that the high order pregnancy following oral ovulatory induction agents can occur even with a single cycle. With the appropriate management of these types of pregnancies, however, the outcome is not necessary gloomy. Provided there is no obstetrical indication for delivery, delaying intervention till the fetuses T


Under the background of in- depth development of China's industrialization and urbanization and enhancing impact of global climate change,and the basic national situation of more people but less water resources,uneven distribution of water resources and of the basic national conditions,our country is facing big problems in six aspects: the shortage of water supply,the seriousness of water pollution,the deterioration of water environment,the frequency of floods,the backwardness of irrigation and water conservancy construction,and insufficiency of water conservancy facilities and other water issues,there is a water current scientific knowledge of education issues. According to the requirements of international policy and legal documents,learning foreign policy is beneficial to the provisions of law and effective practices. China has three local laws and regulations for environmental education. In accordance with the requirements of the CPC Central Committee and State Council policies and legal documents and to adapt the most stringent needs and requirements of water management system,we need to focus on five points related to China water science education legal regulation: enact law establishment,set up organizational systems and mechanisms,strengthen the non- professional school education,strengthen non- school institutions and the non- professional education,and enhance safeguards and mechanisms,so as to work out institutional regulations for water science education.


By the method of buffer analysis,this paper has studied the effect of the radiation distance of urbanization influence upon landscape structure in landscape and patch levels base on 3S techniques.Results showed that:Landscape fragmentation decreased with the increase of radiation distance of urbanization in landscape scale.The impact of the radiation distance of urbanization influence upon orchard and irrigated cropland was significant in patch scale,and maximum distance reached 25km.However,the influence of urbanization was less on other patch types.This conclusion indicated that the urbanization process obviously resulted in the landscape fragmentation,which was induced by fluctuation of the orchard and the irrigated cropland patches.


Development in the field of human resources not only aims to improve the quality of Indonesian human resources, but Also Aimed to improve the quality of government employees. Human resource development geared toward improving the quality of the state apparatus as construction administrator who has the attitude and behavior of the core devotion, honesty, responsibility, disciplined and motivated, so as to provide excellent service and the best to the people. The success and failure of development cannot be separated from the role played. Employees of Nduga District Health Office were duties as Civil Servants and public service. The variables were observed in this study namely education, motivation, leadership style, work environment, and infrastructure towards the employee performance. 42 people as the total sample were Involved. Partially only education variable has a significant influence on employee performance, whereas other variables such as education, leadership style, work environment, and infrastructure not significantly affect employee performance. Simultaneously variables studied have a weak influence, and no significant effect on employee performance. Suggestions need to add other variables in order to improve the models.


Burbridge officially received his appointment as military commander of the district of Kentucky in March 1865. Burbridge faced two different but interlinked military challenges: sporadic cavalry raids into the state by Confederate forces and ongoing guerrilla attacks on Unionist sympathizers and property. He managed the troop deployments to try and counter these threats in the face of limited manpower and the brewing distrust among Kentuckians. He also led the expedition that defeated John Hunt Morgan at Cynthiana in June 1864, but he also obsessed over a potential invasion of the state, leading three forays of negligible military value into southwestern Virginia.


Abstract Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the lower airways that affects around 275–300 million people globally and 25 to 30 million people in India. It can attack all age groups and is characterised by recurrent attacks of breathlessness, wheezing and coughing, which may vary from person to person in severity and frequency. It is caused by inflammation of air passages, hypersensitivity to allergens, pulmonary oedema and congestion of lungs. This case report is an evidence of successful treatment of sub-acute exacerbations of bronchial asthma by using homoeopathic medicine based on acute totality of the case. The case of a 32-year-old woman with bronchial asthma is reported here who was treated with Blatta orientalis 30C. All investigations and pulmonary function tests (spirometry) indicated the diagnosis to be bronchial asthma with moderate obstruction of small airways. After case taking, Blatta orientalis 30C was prescribed, following which, after 6 months of treatment, patient felt better in all aspects with reduction in the number of asthma attacks and marked improvement in Elizabeth Juniper's Asthma Control Questionnaire Score and other investigations.


This paper aims at showing in what way artistic and historical traditions constitute for Derek Mahon a fundamental element of poetic writing, which is perhaps only a form of rewriting. Our purpose will follow three main lines: first the matter of form, which appears to be traditional in many respects; the second part will belong to the order of representation, in so far as the poem contains a return to artistic and historical sources placed in a contrapuntal mode. The third aspect of this analysis will deal with what proves to be a quest for the ultimate, a reflection on creation. By way of consequence, writing becomes the very subject of the poem.


We prove the multivariate Fujiwara bound for exponential sums: for a d-variate exponential sum f with scaling parameter μ, if x is contained in the amoeba A ( f ), then the distance from x to the Archimedean tropical variety associated to f is at most d p d 2log(2+ p 3)/μ. If f is polynomial, then the bound can be improved to d log(2+ p 3).


This paper reviews the tuna industry and fishery in the Pacific islands region, in terms ofdistant-water fishing fleet operations and national industries. The former involves only fishing and the latter concerns both tuna fishing (in 12 countries and territories) and processing (in 6 coun48(1), 1986 interest in the tuna fishery in the Pacific islands region has heightened. More Asian (Korean, Taiwanese, and Filipino) and American vessels, particularly purse seiners, have joined Japanese tuna fleets in the region. While pole-and-line and longline fishing there has stagnated or declined, purse-seining (total number of vessels) reached an all-time high in 1984. Pacific islands nations have also sought greater involvement in their tuna fisheries and fairer financial returns for the fish harvested by distant-water fleets in their EEZ's. Some island governments have also promoted foreign investment to establish new tuna industries or bolster and expand existing ones. Thus, some western industry leaders2 believe that the time is right for these governments to make concerted efforts to attract and facilitate investment in the tuna industry. This opinion is based primarily on financial considerations related to past modes of operation (both in terms of fishing and the location of processing facilities 2Personal communication with industry consultants and managers in the United States and Europe. tries and territories). Government objectives in fostering the establishment of tuna projects and industry development in the region are analyzed together with conditions needed to attract foreign investment. Current opportunities for industry investments are also described. throughout the world), resource availability, and the fact that the world tuna industry appears to be at a crossroads. This paper reviews the tuna industry in the Pacific islands region, beginning with the region's fishery in terms of distant-water fishing fleet operations and national industries. While the former involves only fishing, the latter concerns both fishing operations and tuna processing. Governmental objectives in fostering tuna projects and industry development in Pacific island countries are analyzed together with the conditions required to attract foreign investment. The paper concludes by describing current opportunities for investment in the tuna industry in the Pacific islands region.


According to the pharmacoeconomical analysis «The costs of illness» of ambulatory care of diabetes mellitus type 2 which was hold in outpatient clinics in the city of Volgograd and Volzhsky it was established that there are far more costs of the comorbidities of diabetes mellitus type 2(19554,3 ± 406,5) RUB in comparison with other costs of diabetes. The biggest part of these costs goes to macroangiopathy (80 %). The first place among these costs belongs to arterial hypertension (60,4 %). All in all the drug therapy of comorbidities corresponds to the clinical guidelines and standarts but, however, needs to be corrected. According to the costs the first place in the treatment of arterial hypertension belongs to β-adrenoblockers (48,1 %) while ACE-inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and agonosts to I1-receptors are more recommended by russian and foreign guidelines in this case.

We present SEGURA, a Bundle layer security extension for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of message bundles in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). SEGURA employs probabilistic set membership constructs to amortize the cryptographic functionality of traditional authentication mechanisms such as Message Authentication Codes, Hash trees, authentication graphs, and digital signatures in relatively small sized data structures. Using probabilistic set membership constructs in the integrity verification process eliminates any form of dependency among individual network packets which gives the security protocol the capability of handling out of order packets and enduring high packet loss rates. This makes SEGURA a very suitable choice for operation in performance-challenged DTNs with highly disruptive natures featuring excessive disconnection rates, massive delays, and intermittent communication. Moreover, the SEGURA integrity enforcement mechanism gives intermediate DTN routers and gateways the ability to verify the integrity of bundles without employing expensive public-key operations. The goal here is to isolate the effects of any malicious attack as close as possible to the source of the attack. This results in the reduction of bogus network traffic and hence contributes to a major decrease in the messaging delay caused by distant packet retransmission.


Localization of alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes [basic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH): Class I and acidic ADH: Class III] was studied at both lobular and cellular levels in mouse liver by using immunohistological methods. The immunofluorescent microscopy showed that the basic ADH is distributed more predominantly in the perivenous zone than in the periportal zone, although the enzyme was detected in every parenchymal cell within the whole hepatic lobule. By immunoelectron microscopy, the enzyme was shown to distribute within the cytoplasmic matrix of hepatocytes, except for glycogen areas. On the other hand, acidic ADH was found to localize mainly on the periphery of the parenchymal cell, showing no distinct localization within the liver lobule by the immunofluorescent microscopy. The immunoelectron microscopic study confirmed that the acidic ADH localizes in the sinusoidal endothelial cells of the liver and revealed that the enzyme is also distributed in phagocytotic vesicles within hepatocytes. Thus, the basic and acidic ADH isozymes localize differently from each other in mouse liver tissue including parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells. These findings suggest that ADH isozymes may play different roles from each other in alcohol metabolism in the liver, not only at the enzymic property level but also at the cellular level. It is generally accepted that alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) (EC l.l.l.l) is a key enzyme in alcohol metabolism in mammalian liver. During metabolism of alcohol, the enzyme produces the highly toxic acetaldehyde and also large amounts of NADH, shifting the cellular redox potential to the reduced state and thus leading to heavy disturbances of the cell metabolism. The enzyme is therefore thought to play a significant role in the pathology of alcohol intoxication (27, 28, 34, 39). Mammalian liver ADH isozymes are grouped into 3 classes (Classes I, II and III) (3, l6, 22, 38). Class I enzymes are very sensitive to pyrazole, and have a low Km for ethanol and a basic pl [human ADH isozymes with 0:, ,6, y subunits (38) and mouse basic ADH (16) or ADH A2 (3)]. Class III enzymes are insensitive to pyrazole, and have a very high Km for ethanol and an acidic pl [human x-ADH (33) and mouse acidic ADH (l4-l6) or ADH B2 (3)]. Class II enzymes have intermediate properties between Class I and Class III and their contents in the liver are low [human rs-ADH (4), mouse ADH-[6 (l6)]. Localization of ADH within the liver lobule has been studied from a pathological point of view by various methods. The results, however, have inconsistently demonstrated its centrilobular (7, 25, 30), or periportal (ll, l2, 29) localization. In these studies, the Class I ADH isozymes have been solely focused on because the isozymes have been believed to play a main role in ethanol metabolism, whereas the other two classes of ADHs have been § I


Abstract Gluten-related disorders form the umbrella term for all conditions related to gluten ingestion, such as celiac disease (CeD) and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). A life-long exclusion of gluten from diet is currently the only effective treatment in remitting the symptoms of these diseases. However, a life-long, strict GFD is challenging to maintain due to social and economic burdens. In addition, it may lead to restricted and nutritionally suboptimal diet. Thus, the possibility of using nutritious and fiber-rich oats would diversify the GFD, improving general palatability, sensory properties such as texture and fiber-content of the diet. Pure oats are being grown and produced following strict agricultural practices to minimize any contamination with other cereals. Indeed, consumption of pure, uncontaminated oats would allow a wider selection of foods for individuals with gluten related disorders. However, the inclusion of oats into GFD is not globally applied yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of daily consumption of oat products on intestinal microbiota composition and activity in subjects with gluten-related disorders. Subjects with CeD (n = 19) or NCGS (n = 10) and healthy volunteers (n = 14) were recruited to the study. Study subjects completed food diaries for four days preceding fecal sample collection. Intestinal microbiota composition was characterized using 16S MiSeq sequencing. The total energy intake was comparable between the study groups. However, NCGS subjects consumed more energy (E %) from protein and less from carbohydrates when compared to healthy controls (p = 0.025 and p = 0.045, respectively). Dietary fiber intake was relatively high in all subjects and no differences were observed between the study groups (p = 0.79). Total microbiota profiles were comparable between CeD, NCGS and healthy controls. In addition, no differences were observed in microbiota richness or diversity between the study groups. Phylum-level microbial abundances exhibited high inter-individual variation, but did not differ between the study groups. To conclude, microbiota markers demonstrated that oat consumption was safe and beneficial for subjects with CeD or NCGS. Oat consumption was shown to enrich available gluten-free diets and to increase dietary fiber intake to the recommended levels.

Handling of armed conflict through the concept of peace enforcement is still
far from success. Especially with the actors of international organizations engaged
on the basis of the interests of members in resolving the conflict. This occurred in
the handling of the Libyan conflict with NATO involvement execute the mandate
of Resolution 1973 which set the resolution of the UN Security Council as Libya's
settlement of the armed conflict in 2011. Failure to implement UN Security
Council Resolution 1973 has seen since the beginning of the political process that
is carried through with meetings between state leaders to discuss the handling of
the Libyan conflict in 2011. So through these meetings, the strategy and tactics of
the implementation of Resolution 1973 by the NATO decision to adjust the results
of the state leadership. Not to mention, in the content of Resolution 1973 there is a
contradiction between the implementation of No Fly Zone (NFZ) and protection
against civil society. Basically, NFZ is monitoring the use of military air resulting
in civilian casualties. Implementation of the NFZ in Libya that NATO over
military air should ensure Qaddafi and other countries that want to help the
Libyan leader, is not used to threaten the safety of Libyan civilians. Influence state
policy is incorporated against Qaddafi, NATO made in carrying out the military
operation in Libya in support of the group of the National Transitional Council
(NTC) to cripple Qaddafi.
Theories and concepts used in this study is the concept of peace
enforcement and international organizations. While the research methods used to
address the handling of the Libyan conflict by NATO is a qualitative method that
is sourced from books, opinions expressed during Libya conflict.
The results of this study show the strong influence of the state interest
underlying the actions undertaken NATO as an international organization that is
leading the legitimacy of military operations Libyan conflict resolution. So that
there are contradictions between the protection of civilians a priority the
enactment of Resolution 1973 by the UN Security Council with NATO conducted
implementation.

OBJECTIVES

METHODS
Bilateral diaphragmatic dysfunction results in severe dyspnoea, usually requiring oxygen therapy and nocturnal ventilatory support. Although treatment options are limited, phrenic nerve reconstruction (PR) offers the opportunity to restore functional activity. This study aims to evaluate combination treatment with PR and placement of a diaphragm pacemaker (DP) compared to DP placement alone in patients with bilateral diaphragmatic dysfunction.

RESULTS
Patients with bilateral diaphragmatic dysfunction were prospectively enrolled in the following treatment algorithm: Unilateral PR was performed on the more severely impacted side with bilateral DP implantation. Motor amplitudes, ultrasound measurements of diaphragm thickness, maximal inspiratory pressure, forced expiratory volume, forced vital capacity and subjective patient-reported outcomes were obtained for retrospective analysis following completion of the prospective database.

CONCLUSIONS
Fourteen male patients with bilateral diaphragmatic dysfunction confirmed on chest fluoroscopy and electrodiagnostic testing were included. All 14 patients required nocturnal ventilator support, and 8/14 (57.1%) were oxygen-dependent. All patients reported subjective improvement, and all 8 oxygen-dependent patients were able to discontinue oxygen therapy following treatment. Improvements in maximal inspiratory pressure, forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume were 68%, 47% and 53%, respectively. There was an average improvement of 180% in motor amplitude and a 50% increase in muscle thickness. Comparison of motor amplitude changes revealed significantly greater functional recovery on the PR + DP side.

This article focuses on the crucial problems of the XXI century: ageing population and difficulty for older workers to participate in high-tech production processes on one hand, and on the other ‒ entry of Generation Z, who has not experienced the world without constant deve-lopment of innovative technologies and networks, into the labor market. The proportion of elderly population is rapidly increasing in developed and many develo-ping countries. One of the consequences of population ageing in most societies is a decrease in the number of working and income-generating people compared to the number of unemployed and dependent on other's income. The share of dependents is derived as the ratio of the number of people in the population who are considered financially dependent (usually children under the age of 15 and elderly over the age of 65) to the number of people considered economically active. Population aging may significantly inhibit economic growth if the slowdown of labor growth is not constrained or if no additional efforts are made to improve labor productivity. It is estimated that by 2030 Generation Z will account for 20-24% of the global workforce. Hence, it is necessary to understand differences in incentives for various age groups to recognize motivations of Generation Z and ensure maximum productivity of talented young people.This paper analyzes main classical motivators and identifies differences in how they are perceived by generations Y and Z. By using statistical methods of data evaluation (Student's t-test), specific motivators influencing productivity of employees of different age groups were determined. As per job and specialization search, both generations are primarily driven by material and financial incentives: specifically, monetary rewards and bonuses. However, for Generation Z, job satisfaction is also highly influenced by intangible factors and managerial style, such as achievements' recognition, personal growth, clear description of tasks and responsibilities.Keywords: generation theory, generation Z, motivators, motivation mechanism.


The aim of this study is to estimate the effectiveness of cervicovaginal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in predicting preterm delivery.


The accuracy of corrosion rate estimation using atmospheric corrosion monitoring (ACM) sensors is improved using humidity data. This methodology determines the daily amount of sea salt, Ws, to consecutively determine rain/dew/dry conditions for instantaneous output. ACM outputs observed in 4.8-m-long steel pipe braces installed on the Japanese coast were used to verify the methodology. Ws is the basic value used in analysis and is in agreement with experimental observations. When using this methodology, divergence of estimated and observed corrosion rates was reduced by up to 40% compared with results using the conventional methodology that determines rainfall using only outputs from ACM sensors.


The article examines the taxicab industry to determine its ability to provide a partial solution to urban transport problems. This will critically depend on its long-term cost and operating characteristics. The example studied is that of the taxicab industry in Melbourne. The industry has survived and may be able to expand because it is said that there has been a relative decline in the quality and real wages of drivers, and in the prices of new vehicles. Further research into the relationships between labour costs and quality, and the effect on these of cost increases in other sectors will provide useful information for determining the industry's future.

This study examines some of the factors that may constitute the main determinants of the dollar-euro exchange rate. The implications of the introduction of the single currency in Europe on Mediterranean central banks reserves and foreign external liabilities are examined, along with trade and capital flows, and exchange rate policies. It is shown that Mediterranean central banks will have to hold major portions of their foreign exchange reserves in euros. Also, a Mediterranean currency peg to the euro, or to a basket of currencies where the euro is allocated the highest weight will be important in reducing financial and trade transaction costs. It is also hypothesized that Mediterranean foreign debts will eventually have to be converted to euros as well.


The Foreign Investment Law, namely Law Number 5 Year 2005 Articles 14 and 15 concerning the granting of tax incentives to entrepreneurs, especially foreign investors. The Timor Leste government has prepared tax incentives to increase the value of investment to foreign investors. This research is a qualitative study. Methods of data collection using observations and structured interviews. Meanwhile, the data used are taxation reports, taxation policies on investment incentives and foreign investment. The research was carried out on the officials of the Director General of Tax and Customs of Timor Leste, the Head of the Foreign Investment Board of Timor Leste, the Head of Fiscal Policy are several Timorese and a National Director in Tax and Customs of Timor Leste and staff. The result of the research states that tax revenue will decrease with the tax incentives, but after investment activities run smoothly, investors will become taxpayers. The government must prepare itself both in terms of infrastructure, human resources, government administration bureaucracy to host foreign investors.

Background: Lung clearance index (LCI) is the most frequently reported marker of ventilation heterogeneity (VH) measured non-invasively through multiple breath gas washout (MBW). Aims and objectives: We sought to evaluate the role of two recently reported parameters differentiating increases in LCI due to specific ventilation inequality; LCI vent and respiratory dead space; LCI ds (Gonem et al Respir. Res. 2014;15:59). We evaluated in asthma the relationships between LCI vent, LCI ds , markers of conductive and peripheral VH respectively and airway closure markers to:
 a: Asthma severity (GINA treatment step) b: Clinical outcomes; ACQ, AQLQ, exacerbations c: Fixed airflow obstruction (FAO):Presence and absence d: Eosinophilic airway inflammation (Sputum and blood) e: Phase 3 slope indices: S acin and S cond Methods: 57 well-characterised patients with asthma (GINA 1-5) and 24 healthy controls underwent MBW, impulse oscillometry and body plethysmography. LCI vent and LCI ds were calculated using a customised MATLAB Program. Results: LCI vent but not LCI ds was significantly raised in asthma in the presence but not the absence of FAO compared to controls (p vent and LCI ds were not related to clinical outcomes, asthma severity or eosinophilic airway inflammation. LCI vent showed a modest correlation with S acin in asthma (r s =0.34). In contrast S cond did not correlate with LCI vent or LCI ds . Airway closure markers, AX and trapped gas volume were raised with FAO and severe asthma (GINA 4/5), despite normal LCI ds values. Conclusion: Novel washout parameters, LCI vent and LCI ds may provide additional information to conventional washout measurements; however further research is required to establish their clinical utility.

Shockwave compression of methane was simulated using the molecular dynamics method with Hugoniostat and MSST approach. The calculation was carried out employing ReaxFFlg potential. We show comparison of simulated Hugoniots for pressure range 0,1-44 GPa and times required for simulation run of two different methods. We also compare two ReaxFF potentials: ReaxFF(2008) and ReaxFF-lg


Principal Component Analysis is a common feature extraction method based on 1D vector.But it often meets two problems of high dimensions and big computation quantity when applying to face recognition.In order to solve the two problems,many improved methods have been proposed and realized.Here,this paper compares three of them on theoretical and experimental data.The experimental results show that PCA+2DPCA is the best of them.


The current legislation establishes the conditions for the creation, state registration, operation and liquidation of financial and industrial groups, the rights and obligations of their members, and also ensures the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of members of financial and industrial groups, including regulating the aggregation and presentation of information about the companies of the group in consolidated financial statements. The company that controls the financial and industrial group is liable for its obligations with all property belonging to it on the basis of property rights and is not responsible for the obligations of the members of the financial and industrial group. The specifics of the responsibility of the parent organization and members of the financial and industrial group are established in the agreement on the creation of the group.


Objective The purposes of this study were to investigate the time course of ischemic changes on Magnetic Resonance Imaging(including DWI, PWI and T2WI) after different brief periods of focal brain ischemia in rabbits and to evaluate the histopathological outcomes in the regions of DWI abnormalities. Methods Sixty rabbits were subjected to 7 minutes (n=15); 15 minutes (n=15); 30 minutes (n=15) of middle cerebral artery occlusion ; and sham operation (n=15). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (including DWI, PWI and T2WI) were performed during before occlusion; 5min after occlusion and at 0.5, 2.0, 6.0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after reperfusion. After the last MRI study at 72 hours after reperfusion, the brains were evaluated by histopathology. Results No MRI or histological abnormalities were observed in the sham-operated rabbits. In the 7-minute, 15-minute and 30-minute groups, the perfusion deficits and DWI hyperintensities that occurred during occlusion disappeared shortly after reperfusion. The DWI, PWI, and T2WI results remained normal thereafter in the 7-minute group, whereas secondary DWI hyperintensity and T2-WI abnormalities developed at the 6~12 hour observation point in the 15-minute and 30-minute groups. Histological examinations demonstrated neuronal necrosis in three groups, but the number of necrotic neurons was significantly higher in the 15-minute and 30-minute group than in the 7-minute group (P0.001). Conclusion Transient or permanent resolution of initial DWI lesions after reperfusion depends on the duration of ischemia. Transient resolution of DWI lesions is associated with widespread neuronal necrosis; moreover, permanent resolution of DWI lesions does not necessarily indicate complete salvage of brain tissue from ischemic injury. These results may help to explain the of neurological deficits in some patients who have normal DWI results after cerebral ischemia and cognitive deficits in some patients who experience transient ischemic attacks.


Weight loss is a process that is susceptible to logical and reasonably precise explanation. Consideration of caloric need and caloric supply indicates the weight balance. Any caloric deficit implies weight loss which will occur at the rate decreed by the caloric value (3,500 calories) of a pound of body fat. Whenever this caloric deficit is reached, the body will be one pound lighter, with respect to body fat. When these concepts are used, weight loss becomes predictable. Such predictability offers multiple advantages to the clinician who is preparing a weight reduction program for his obese patient.


Aim of this paper is to find the possibility of in vitro maturation of buffalo oocytes recovered from vitrified whole ovaries. Ovaries from slaughtered buffaloes (n=400) were collected; out of these ovaries, 150 were fresh and 250 buffalo ovaries were vitrified and thawed. Number of all visible follicles was recorded on fresh ovaries and on each ovarian surface preand post vitrification, then oocytes recovery rate was calculated in fresh or vitrified ovaries. Oocytes were recovered by aspiration. From the recovered oocytes from fresh ovaries, COCs were vitrified by straw cryodevice. Post-thawing, morphologically normal oocytes from vitrified or fresh ovaries were vitrified. Results showed that numbers of total and normal follicles, and total and normal oocytes per ovary were significantly higher in fresh than in vitrified ovaries. Total number of abnormal follicles showed significantly (P<0.01) an opposite trend, while, the difference in number of abnormal oocytes/ovary was not significant. Oocytes recovered from fresh ovaries showed significantly higher recovery and normality rates than those recovered from vitrified ovaries. Percentage of compact and expanded oocytes was significantly higher, while percentage of denuded and partial denuded oocytes was significantly lower when oocytes were recovered from fresh than from vitrified ovaries. Maturation rate (MIIoocytes percent) was higher (P<0.05) when oocytes were recovered from fresh than from vitrified ovaries and those vitrified after recovery (62.50% vs. 35.90 and 27.50%, respectively). In conclusion, vitrification of the whole buffalo ovaries is a positive tool for genetic sources cryopreservation in term of beneficial effects on in vitro maturation of oocytes when compare with those directly vitrified after recovery from fresh ovaries.


We characterize and present the details of the follow-up method used on the most significant outliers of the Hough Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves [J. Aasi et al Phys. Rev. D 87, 042001 (2013)]. This follow-up method is based on the two-stage approach introduced by [M. Shaltev and R. Prix, Phys. Rev. D 87, 084057 (2013)], consisting of a semicoherent refinement followed by a fully coherent zoom. We quantify the efficiency of the follow-up pipeline using simulated signals in Gaussian noise. This pipeline does not search beyond first-order frequency spin-down, and therefore we also evaluate its robustness against second-order spin-down. We present the details of the Hough Einstein@Home follow-up [J. Aasi et al Phys. Rev. D 87, 042001 (2013)] on three hardware-injected signals and on the eight most significant search outliers of unknown origin.


Aquaculture has been promoted as an enterprise that will provide regional economic development, new employment opportunities for displaced fishers, and the replenishment of commercially important fish stock. Conversely, how will open ocean aquaculture fit into the occupational life of the traditional Northern New England inshore, commercial fisher? Our objective was to identify those fishers with a predisposition to adopt the innovation, as determined by the relationship between the probability of potential adoption and particular explanatory variables. We drew upon adoption of innovations research and fishing-specific studies to establish the explanatory variables: fishers' attitudes toward specific innovation attributes and their personal and situational characteristics. Results suggest that nearly one-third of those surveyed were willing to consider adoption of open ocean aquaculture. We found adoption research to be effective in formulating a model that yielded statistically significant explanatory variables relative to the dependent variable. Respondents' fishing characteristics, communication behavior, and attitudes toward specific innovation attributes were the best predictors in the model. Open ocean aquaculture programs specifically designed to address the needs and interests of these fishers could serve to encourage adoption of the innovation and increase adoption success.


The article examines the experience of women compared to men in the new Polish job markets with special emphasis on their participation in the explosion of entrepreneurship that has occurred in the country since 1990. Tightening laws related to gender discrimination would have some limited impact on women's employment opportunities. Promotion of entrepreneurship is proposed as an important solution to joblessness – especially for women with general secondary education living outside major cities


Recent major amendments of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Republic of Lithuania have added new and improved older procedural instruments that may be used for reimbursement of losses inflicted by the abuse of process. The law now clearly states that the court may take into account improper conduct of the participants when deciding on distribution of litigation costs. A fine in favour of the party aggrieved by the abuse may also be imposed. Therefore, in this article the authors analyse litigation costs and private fine as measures to reimburse losses caused by the abuse of civil procedure. The authors argue that litigation costs can be a fairly effective and relatively easy-to-use procedural instrument, which might not only prevent procedural abuses, but also compensate losses inflicted by it that falls within the category of litigation costs. Therefore, changes to the statutory legislation, expressly empowering a court to deviate from general rules of distributing and awarding litigation costs, by taking into account the propriety of the party's actions in a procedure and causes that have given rise to those litigation costs, are welcomed.

This document specifies a method in which the label mapping
information for a particular FlowSpec rule is piggybacked in the same
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Update message that is used to
distribute the FlowSpec rule. Based on the proposed method, the Label
Switching Routers (LSRs) (except the ingress LSR) on the Label
Switched Path (LSP) can use label to indentify the traffic matching a
particular FlowSpec rule; this facilitates monitoring and traffic
statistics for FlowSpec rules.


Short stature is a common problem in children globally, mainly in developing countries. Short stature is defined as height below 3 percentile for age and sex or height 2SD below sex adjusted mid parental height. There are different causes of short stature. But the most common causes, beyond the first two years of life are Familial Short Stature (FSS) and Constitutional Growth Delay (CGD). Other causes of short stature can be endocrinological or non endocrinological. Common endocrinological causes of short stature include hypothyroidism, hypopituitarism (isolated GHD and multiple anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies), hypercortisolism and classical Laron syndrome etc. All chronic diseases can cause short stature, such as renal disease, malignancy, chronic pulmonary disease, Cystic Fibrosis, cardiac disease etc.


This essay was written for a symposium "Law Without a Lawmaker," which focused on the famous case Erie v. Tompkins. The essay uses the decision's text and context to criticize modern interpretations of Erie as a decision about separation of powers or positivism. Instead, I propose that both Swift and Erie could be read as deciding what kind of law should be applied in cases of clear federal jurisdiction. They are both best read as cases involving federal common law, or more precisely federal choice of law. Alongside that substantive interpretation, this essay surveys different methods and resources that interpreters of Erie (or other important cases) might use to construct its precedential meaning.

The aim of this study is to investigate differences between long term absent male and female employees. The reason for this investigation is the introduction of the Law for Work and Income (WIA). This law was introduced in 2006 instead of the Law of Disability Insurance (WAO), and makes both the employer and employee responsible for the return to work of long term absent employees. The WIA is only actuated after 104 weeks; this used to be 52 weeks for the WAO. The consequence of this change is that employers are to pay their long-term absent employees a year longer by themselves. Another change is the introduction of adverse financial consequences if the employer and the long-term absent employee do not actively participate in the process of return to work. We expect that the introduction of the WIA has had an influence on this process.
In this study we investigate whether the gender differences found in research before the introduction of the WIA, can still be found in the new situation. We investigated if there are differences between long-term absent female and male employees with respect to the length of absence, instruments deployed and certain employee characteristics, namely age, professional level and the nature of the disease. We also investigated whether the employee characteristics have a moderating effect on the relation between gender and instruments deployed. Finally, we investigated whether the employee characteristics have a significant relationship with the length of absence and if gender moderates this relationship.
The data used in this study were gathered by the TNO for research on return to work of long-term absent employees (Piek et al., 2008). The data is collected by means of 1294 telephone interviews by companies with at least two employees. In this study, only respondents with at least one employee who has been sick for minimal thirteen weeks were selected (N=608).
Results show that there are gender differences in employee characteristics: women are younger than men when they are long-term absent, have a higher professional level and do have more psychological complaints. Men clearly have more cardiovascular diseases than women. No gender differences were found in musculoskeletal disorders. In contrast to what we expected, gender has no significant relationship with length of absence. A possible explanation is that due to the introduction of the WIA, the return to work policies for women are improved. Furthermore, gender does not have a significant effect on the reintegration instruments employed. The employee characteristics professional level, psychological complains and musculoskeletal disorders were found to have a moderating effect on this relationship. When we take these employee characteristics into account, there are some gender differences at the instruments deployed. Finally, the results show that there is no significant relationship between the employee characteristics and the length of absence.


You report on the Hampshire County Council initiative to create 500 new nursing home places for older people (analysis January 17). In truth, this has been a badly thought out waste of public money, and is not the triumph suggested. Local authorities have generally stopped providing care homes for older people because they have been unable to do so as economically as the private sector.


We reviewed 23 patients operated with the diagnosis of retrosternal goiter. Twelve(52%) of the cases were female and 11 (48%) were male. Mean age was 53.8±10.9 years. Shortness ofbreath was seen in 12 (52%) of the patients as the most frequent preoperative symptom. On the chestposteroanterior radiography, 18 (78%) cases were found to have tracheal compression. CT imagesdemonstrated retrosternal extension to the level of the aortic arch in all patients. All 23 patients were preparedfor a thoracic approach.


In the article, within the framework of the comparative phraseology theory, the authors consider semantic and structural-grammatical features of interjective phraseological units with zoonym component in English, French and Russian languages. From the point of semantics view, the studied language material of three languages of different structure represents exclamations with negative coloring. Structurally, these units are presented with non-predicative, predicative and partially predicative structure. The scope of the praseological units concept, in addition to nominative, includes communicative units (proverbs, winged expressions, etc.). As a result of comparative analysis in a separate group attributed interjective phraseological units, combining features of interjections and other parts of speech. Keywords—interjection; interjectional phraseological units; zoonyms; paremiology.


The purpose of the present study is to empirically examine factors that affect the information security awareness and perceived information security risk of employees of port companies. In particular, in order to identify factors that affect the perceived information security risks, we investigated the relation of assets, threats, and vulnerabilities to it, using the risk analysis methodology. With A total of 252 valid questionnaires, we also performed the structural equation modeling analysis using AMOS. It was found that first, there was no meaningful relationship between the information assets and the perceived information security risk in the case of employees of port companies. Second, threats and vulnerabilities turned out to have positive influences on the perceived information security risk. Finally, there was a positive relationship not only between the information security awareness and the information security education, but also between the information security awareness and the intention of information security. However, there was no meaningful relationship between the information security concern and the information security awareness.


NASA is continuing the development of a 12.5-kW Hall thruster system to support a phased exploration concept to expand human presence to cis-lunar space and eventually to Mars. The development team is transitioning knowledge gained from the testing of the government-built Technology Development Unit (TDU) to the contractor-built Engineering Test Unit (ETU). A new laser-induced fluorescence diagnostic was developed to obtain data for validating the Hall thruster models and for comparing the behavior of the ETU and TDU. Analysis of TDU LIF data obtained during initial deployment of the diagnostics revealed evidence of two streams of ions moving in opposite directions near the inner front pole. These two streams of ions were found to intersect the downstream surface of the front pole at large oblique angles. This data points to a possible explanation for why the erosion rate of polished pole covers were observed to decrease over the course of several hundred hours of thruster operation.

In spite of a long history Kaon system is still a laboratory for interesting physics, from flavor physics to CP violation. Kaon rare decays are also a powerfull tool, complementary to B decays, to probe the physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper I will review most of the recent results in kaon physics coming from KLOE, KTEV, NA48 experiment.


In the frame of decentralization reforms in Namibia, local water point associations evolved that have to collect water fees from community members to cover maintenance costs. Enforcement, however, is weak and water point associations have to rely on moral pleas. As a consequence, several users refuse to pay. I test the impact of informal sanction mechanisms on cooperation among water point users in groups with equal and unequal incomes. Interestingly, and in contrast to the vast majority of related studies, cooperation does not increase under the threat of punishment, though the punishment option was frequently used. At individual level I show that while punishments do not affect cooperative behaviour, they provoke counter-punishment. This suggests that peer-sanctioning mechanisms as a means to enforce norm-compliance are not accepted among water point association members. Contribution levels were higher in heterogeneous groups compared with homogenous ones, and both pro-social and anti-social punishments occurred more frequently in homogenous groups. A comparison between different income types further reveals that the poor contribute larger shares of their income than those endowed with higher incomes and that they use punishment as frequently and as vehemently as the better-off, despite higher opportunity costs.


This infrared ray detection sensor is provided with a substrate (11) and a plurality of infrared ray detection elements (12) that are mounted and disposed on the substrate (11). The plurality of infrared ray detection elements (12) include: a plurality of infrared ray detection elements (12a) that are positioned at a lower layer portion that is in the proximity of the substrate (11); and a plurality of infrared ray detection elements (12b) that are positioned at an upper layer portion that is spaced from the substrate (11).

This work is performed by tribotechnical diagnostics, specifically by checking the properties of motor oil type Mogul Diesel DT SAE 20W-50 used in heavy combat equipment, such as the T-72M1 tank. The work consists of expressing basic knowledge about measuring devices, which were used in the measurements and their properties and their operation. The work also contains basic knowledge about the measured liquid, which is a necessary aspect for the possibility of performing measurements. The practical part of this work consists of measurements and more detailed specification of oil properties and monitoring of its gradual degradation with the help of individual measuring instruments. All measurements were performed in the diagnostics laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Armed Forces Academy of General Milan Rastislav Štefánik (hereinafter"AFA") in Liptovský Mikuláš.


Logging While Drilling(LWD) has become an important means of reservoir evaluation in highly deviated wells,horizontal wells and slim hole sidetracking multilateral wells and is one of the key technologies for the directional wells.Log response data cannot accurately reflect the logging while drilling resistivity owing to the effect of strata dip and deviation angle in highly deviated wells and horizontal wells.The conventional anisotropic correction based on handwork was carried out according to the correction chart which the service company provided,but the anisotropy coefficient is very difficult to be determined by the anisotropic charts,and goes against the level-by-level interpretation.Therefore,in consideration of the limited number of anisotropic charts and the inadequate outcomes,a method of recognizing aeolotropy influence and inversing for logging while drilling resistivity is proposed in this paper.At last,inverse corrections have been carried out for the logging data deduced from the eastern wells such as X1 and X2,and the results indicate that this inverse modeling can actually reflect the true formation resistivity.


A product family is a set of similar products obtained from a common platform. Products in a product family are linked with each other by the emergent attributes (such as the commonalty). The commonality of a product family affects the production volume of sharing components, and furthermore the production volume affects the cost of manufacturing, reuse, and recycling and so on. The green design methods for a single product are not able to handle a product family, so a new systematic green product family design method needs to develop. To adapt and combine product family design and product green design is the main research idea of this paper. In this paper, product family design and green design are modified with consideration of production volume. Green modules are identified by a fuzzy clustering method A case study of a green fridge family is provided to validate our design method.

Rotavirus is an important aetiological agent of acute diarrhoea below 4 years of age. It has been estimated that each year rotavirus infection is responsible for an estimated 111 million episodes of diarrhoea requiring only home care, 25 million clinic visits, 2 million hospitalizations, approximately 4,40,000 deaths in children < 5 years of age and most of it occurs in developing countries (1). An estimated 1,205 children die from rotavirus diseases each day and 82% of this death occurs in children in poorer countries of the world. A recent review of 27 prospective studies from 20 countries estimated the incidence of diarrhoea as 3.8 episodes per child per year for children < 11 months of age and 2.1 episodes per child per year for children 1-4 years of age (1).


Many Multiple Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs) have been designed to solve problems with multiple conflicting objectives. Incremental approach can be used to enhance the performance of various MOGAs, which was developed to evolve each objective incrementally. For example, by applying the incremental approach to normal MOGA, the obtained Incremental Multiple Objective Genetic Algorithm (IMOGA) outperforms state-of-the-art MOGAs, including Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II), Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA) and Pareto Archived Evolution Strategy (PAES). However, there is still an open question: how to decide the order of the objectives handled by incremental algorithms? Due to their incremental nature, it is found that the ordering of objectives would influence the performance of these algorithms. In this paper, the ordering issue is investigated based on IMOGA, resulting in a novel objective ordering approach. The experimental results on benchmark problems showed that the proposed approach can help IMOGA reach its potential best performance.


This study investigated the effects of gender differences on access to technologies in Ibadan/Ibarapa agricultural zone of Oyo state. Data were collected from 128 respondents (both male and female of equal size) sampled from the zone. The study reveal<ed that larger proportion of male farmers had access to the identified technologies namely; improved seeds, pests and diseases control in crop, use of pesticides and fertilizers. However female farmers were found to have more access to technologies of controlling of pests and diseases in livestock, improved livestock housing unit and cassava processing than their male counterparts. Education, marital status and land acquisition indicated significant relationships with male farmers' level of access to technologies while, the female level of access to technologies had significant relationships with age, education, and land acquisition and extension services. The study suggests intensification of extension efforts to reach out to female farmers to ensure their access to new technologies and achieve food security goals.

The purpose of the study was to find out effective conditions of Russia's membership in the WTO for business entities and industries of the South of Russia. Membership in the WTO causes both threats and opportunities. In the economy of the South of Russia the main threats arise in agriculture, engineering, light industry, metallurgy. The main measures to minimize possible negative consequences of Russia's membership in the WTO are: the support for exports in the South of Russia, the support for vulnerable industries of the South of Russia, competing with imports, the creation of new competitive advantages of the South of Russia, the abolition or revision of restrictions on foreign market access of Russian goods under the full participation in the WTO, the development of support programs for small and medium-sized enterprises in the South of Russia. The results of the study complement the evaluation of Russia's WTO accession consequences in terms of macro-regions and can be applied to the economic policy planning in the regions of the South of Russia.


SUMMARY Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, is unique in that it has established the Lord Provost's Commission on Sustainable Development to advise on the ways in which the city can contribute to sustainable development. This paper briefly considers the sustenance space and the problems of unsustainability for cities. Section two then describes the growth of Edinburgh and emphasises weak and strong measures of sustainability for cities. The third section then considers some of the problems of unsustainability faced by the citizens of Edinburgh. Some of these problems are bequeathed by earlier periods of urban development and others are contemporary in nature. These problems include social exclusion and poverty; economic development problems associated with housing, employment and related transport congestion and land uses; and ecological problems concerned with maintaining natural capital and human capital in a changing urban milieu. Whilst many of the social, economic and ecological problems are spe...


Consumption of untreated microbiologically contaminated water, prevalent in many developing countries, exposes the vulnerable population to inordinate health risks including most life-threatening diarrhoeal diseases like cholera and other illnesses. In response, innovative techniques for treating water at the household level, known as household water treatment (HWT), have emerged as practical and cost-effective solutions. Solar water disinfection (SODIS) has gained recognition as one such method that utilizes sunlight to inactivate harmful micro-organisms in water. This review examines the effectiveness of SODIS as an HWT technique by analysing scientifically robust evidence documenting its microbiological efficacy and the positive health gains among SODIS users. It explores the challenges and limitations that impact its inactivation efficiency and sustainability. Its novelty lies in its expanded exploration of the available strategies and techniques for enhancing the effectiveness of SODIS to address its associated limitations and challenges. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the scientific evidence, this review presents compelling reasons for the implementation and scalability of SODIS in the developing world. This novel perspective contributes to the existing literature on improving access to safe drinking water in underserved communities, offering valuable insights into the advancement of SODIS as a practical and sustainable HWT solution.


ABSTRACT The burial of bodies is a potentially polluting activity. Taking this into consideration, the aim of the present study was to verify the compliance of two cemeteries with environmental legislation and to quantify the concentrations of heavy metals in soils affected by burial activities. Physicochemical characterization of the soil was performed by analyzing control samples from areas near the cemeteries. Concentrations of cadmium, lead, chromium, nickel, zinc and copper were determined using high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry. The two cemeteries had unsatisfactory properties for the retention of metal cations, with clay percentages ranging from 15.40 to 41.40% and sand percentages ranging from 28.75 to 66.85%. The control samples presented low cation exchange capacity (12.27 to 22.73 cmolc/dm³) and high aluminum (Al3+) saturation (66.74 to 90.16%). Although neither of the two cemeteries had concentrations above the limits established for the metals analyzed by Resolution No. 420/2009 of the National Environment Council, the contaminants may be leaching to groundwater due to inadequate soil characteristics.

This paper aims to study the impact of implementing green human resources management (GHRM) in government institutions in the Jordanian Ministry of Justice. The population of this paper is all the Jordanian government institutions and the sample is the Jordanian Ministry of Justice, the questionnaire was designed with four aspects to collect the data related to environmental sustainability, organization performance, recruitment, and competitive advantages for the year 2021 and distributed to 75 employees of Jordanian Ministry of Justice. The paper has one independent variable that represents the GHRM and four dependent variables and they are environmental sustainability, performance, recruitment of human resources, and competitive advantages, to measure the data collected SPSS packages such as descriptive statistical analysis, Cronbach Alpha, the normal distribution and One-sample T-test were used. The researcher concluded that the implementation of green human resources management has a positive effect on environmental sustainability by performing green practices, improving performance by reducing cost while maintaining the quality of performed services, recruiting human resources by increasing employee satisfaction and competitive advantages by the good reputation of Jordanian government institutions. The researcher recommends the need to strengthen awareness among employees through guidance programs about the importance of implementation of this relatively modern type of management in Jordanian government institutions.


Inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway with rapamycin blocks granule cell axon (mossy fiber) sprouting after epileptogenic injuries, including pilocarpine‐induced status epilepticus. However, it remains unclear whether axons from other types of neurons sprout into the inner molecular layer and synapse with granule cell dendrites despite rapamycin treatment. If so, other aberrant positive‐feedback networks might develop. To test this possibility stereological electron microscopy was used to estimate the numbers of excitatory synapses in the inner molecular layer per hippocampus in pilocarpine‐treated control mice, in mice 5 days after pilocarpine‐induced status epilepticus, and after status epilepticus and daily treatment beginning 24 hours later with rapamycin or vehicle for 2 months. The optical fractionator method was used to estimate numbers of granule cells in Nissl‐stained sections so that numbers of excitatory synapses in the inner molecular layer per granule cell could be calculated. Control mice had an average of 2,280 asymmetric synapses in the inner molecular layer per granule cell, which was reduced to 63% of controls 5 days after status epilepticus, recovered to 93% of controls in vehicle‐treated mice 2 months after status epilepticus, but remained at only 63% of controls in rapamycin‐treated mice. These findings reveal that rapamycin prevented excitatory axons from synapsing with proximal dendrites of granule cells and raise questions about the recurrent excitation hypothesis of temporal lobe epilepsy.

According to the spirit of the national higer educational conference in July, 2002,the article analyze the present situation and defines that teaching work should develop the education system based on "ability". The article also puts forword the teaching method of the increasing strategy by levels in combination with the "Grading System" in order to meet the demand of the higher vocational education development in teaching.


Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is one of the well known methods to extract the best features for the multi-class discrimination. Otsu derived the optimal nonlinear discriminant analysis (ONDA) by assuming the underlying probabilities and showed that the ONDA was closely related to Bayesian decision theory (the posterior probabilities). Also Otsu pointed out that LDA could be regarded as a linear approximation of the ONDA through the linear approximations of the Bayesian posterior probabilities. Based on this theory, we propose a novel nonlinear discriminant analysis named logistic discriminant analysis (LgDA) in which the posterior probabilities are estimated by multi-nominal logistic regression (MLR). The experimental results are shown by comparing the discriminant spaces constructed by LgDA and LDA for the standard repository datasets.


The natural history for patients with de novo donor‐specific antibodies (dnDSA) and the risk factors for its development have not been well defined. Furthermore, clinical and histologic correlation with serologic data is limited. We studied 315 consecutive renal transplants without pretransplant DSA, with a mean follow‐up of 6.2 ± 2.9 years. Protocol (n = 215) and for cause (n = 163) biopsies were analyzed. Solid phase assays were used to screen for dnDSA posttransplant. A total of 47 out of 315 (15%) patients developed dnDSA at a mean of 4.6 ± 3.0 years posttransplant. Independent predictors of dnDSA were HLA‐DRβ1 MM > 0 (OR 5.66, p < 0.006); and nonadherence (OR 8.75, p < 0.001); with a strong trend toward clinical rejection episodes preceding dnDSA (OR 1.57 per rejection episode, p = 0.061). The median 10‐year graft survival for those with dnDSA was lower than the No dnDSA group (57% vs. 96%, p < 0.0001). Pathology consistent with antibody‐mediated injury can occur and progress in patients with dnDSA in the absence of graft dysfunction and furthermore, nonadherence and cellular rejection contribute to dnDSA development and progression to graft loss.


This paper analyzes the features of political geography environment in China from the view of political geography. China is located in the key position of Asia-Pacific region, with a number of neighboring countries, a complex international relationship, and a large number of potentially unsteady factors. On the basis of the special political environment, the author puts forward diplomatic strategy from the view of making the best use of the situation. That is, China should deal with Sino-American relationship rationally on the base of Asia-Pacific region, and give full play to its function as a "Great Country". Finally, the author emphasizes that it is quite necessary for China to strive to gain excellent development environment and to persist in the way of being a powerful country.


The aims of this study were to identify if an age‐specific high‐risk window for graft loss is present in Australia and New Zealand and identify the aetiology for such graft loss using the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry.

Phenolic oxidation of 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-6, 7-dihydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethyl)-2-methylisoquinoline (14) with ferric chloride gave the homoproaporphine (15), isolated as the corresponding diacetate (16), which would be a key intermediate to kesselringine (6) from chemical and biogenetic points of view.


A field experiment was conducted in 2012 to determine the effects of four irrigation intervals (irrigation after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm evaporation from class A pan, respectively) and three shade levels (25, 65, and 100% of sun light) on leaf water content, leaf temperature and yield of soybean (Cv. Williams). The experiment was arranged as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design in three replicates, with irrigation treatments in main plots and shading treatments in sub plots. There was a significant interaction between irrigation intervals and the shade levels on leaf temperature, biomass and grain yield. Leaf water content was increased, but leaf temperature decreased with increasing water availability and shading. Biological and grain yields of soybean under I3 and I4 were generally lower than that under I1 and I2. Decreasing light interception decreased biological and grain yields per unit area under I1 and I2, but improved grain yield under I3 and I4 treatments. This may be related to increasing leaf water content and decreasing leaf temperature under shade.


While manganese oxide (MnO2) has been extensively studied as an electrode material for pseudocapacitors, a clear understanding of its charge storage mechanism is still lacking. Here we report our findings in probing the structural changes of a thin-film model MnO2 electrode during cycling using in operando Raman spectroscopy. The spectral features (e.g., band position, intensity, and width) are correlated quantitatively with the size (Li+, Na+, and K+) of cations in different electrolytes and with the degree of discharge to gain better understanding of the cation-incorporation mechanism into the interlayers of pseudocapacitive MnO2. Also, theoretical calculations of phonon energy associated with the models of interlayer cation-incorporated MnO2 agree with the experimental observations of cation-size effect on the positions of Raman bands. Furthermore, the cation-size effects on spectral features at different potentials of MnO2 electrode are correlated quantitatively with the amount of charge stored in the...


This study consists of a documentary review of events supported by PAEP, an institutional program of CAPES, under the Ministry of Education. It analyzes events undertaken at two distinct moments, aimed at the same segment. The events included those supported in 2010 designed to train basic education teachers (this being the first year that the program included this segment) and those supported in 2013, four years after initiation of the mentioned activity. The study was conducted in order to identify the profile of the events and correlate them with issues such as scope, theme and amount of funds granted. Thus, the results can be used as a mechanism for reflecting upon government practices, in order to propose improvements that contribute to the role that this program plays as a public policy instrument for encouraging the formation of basic education teachers.


The orbital Hall effect can generate currents of angular momentum more efficiently than the spin Hall effect in most metals. However, so far, it has only been understood as a steady state phenomenon. In this theoretical study, the orbital Hall effect is extended into the time domain. We investigate the orbital angular momenta and their currents induced by a femtosecond laser pulse in a Cu nanoribbon. Our numerical simulations provide detailed insights into the laser-driven electron dynamics on ultrashort timescales with atomic resolution. The ultrafast orbital Hall effect described in this work is consistent with the familiar pictorial representation of the static orbital Hall effect, but we also find pronounced differences between physical quantities that carry orbital angular momentum and those that carry charge. For example, there are deviations in the time series of the respective currents. This study lays the foundations for investigating ultrafast Hall effects in confined metallic systems.


This paper deals with a new automatic stressed recognition system based on kernel classification. We extracted advanced acoustic features from the stressed signals and employed a multi-class Support Vector Machines with different kernels to recognize speech utterances under stress. Gammatone Frequency Cepstral Coefficients are also established. The system implemented is tested using isolated words from SUSAS database with 4 classes: Neutral, Angry, Lombard and Loud. Experimental results show that the best performance is obtained when we use the auditory feature with different descriptors combination but it depends on the type of the kernel used.


ABSTRACT Nanoparticles are useful for the delivery of small molecule therapeutics, increasing their solubility, in vivo residence time, and stability. Here, we used organocatalytic ring opening polymerization to produce amphiphilic block copolymers for the formation of nanoparticle drug carriers with enhanced stability, cargo encapsulation, and sustained delivery. These polymers comprised blocks of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(valerolactone) (PVL), and poly(lactide) (PLA). Four particle chemistries were examined: (a) PEG‐PLA, (b) PEG‐PVL, (c) a physical mixture of PEG–PLA and PEG–PVL, and (d) PEG–PVL–PLA tri‐block copolymers. Nanoparticle stability was assessed at room temperature (20 °C; pH = 7), physiological temperature (37 °C; pH = 7), in acidic media (37 °C; pH = 2), and with a digestive enzyme (lipase; 37 °C; pH = 7.4). PVL‐based nanoparticles demonstrated the highest level of stability at room temperature, 37 °C and acidic conditions, but were rapidly degraded by lipase. Moreover, PVL‐based nanoparticles demonstrated good cargo encapsulation, but rapid release. In contrast, PLA‐based nanoparticles demonstrated poor stability and encapsulation, but sustained release. The PEG–PVL–PLA nanoparticles exhibited the best combination of stability, encapsulation, and release properties. Our results demonstrate the ability to tune nanoparticle properties by modifying the polymeric architecture and composition. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Luscombe et al 1 have developed a more accurate age-based paediatric weight estimation tool than that was previously commonly used in the UK, and their formula has also been incorporated into the 5th edition of the Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS) manual, for 6–12-year-olds.2 It is important for readers to realise that in their article, the inaccurate 'APLS formula' refers …


ABSTRACT This paper outlines many of the issues involved in the analytical description of sources gathered in the preparation of the Rossini thematic catalog. The compilers are committed to examining every publication of Rossini's operas, either in full score or in reductions for voice and piano. However, except in very special cases, no attempt will be made to provide information about arrangements or adaptations. The central focus of the catalog is the establishment of information pertaining to the authentic versions and authentic sources for each composition.


Deals with a continuous-time version of the Markowitz mean-variance portfolio selection problem. The proposed model is concerned with a basket of securities consisting of one bank account and multiple stocks. One distinct feature of the model is that the market parameters, including the bank interest rate and the appreciation and volatility rates of the stocks, depend on the market mode that switches between a finite number of states. It is assumed that the random regime switching is independent of the random sources that drive the stock prices. Although the model is more realistic and takes into account possible random volatility, it essentially renders the underlying market incomplete. We use a Markov-chain modulated diffusion formulation to model the problem. By using techniques of stochastic linear-quadratic control, we obtain mean-variance efficient portfolios and efficient frontiers in explicitly closed forms, based on solutions of two systems of linear ordinary differential equations. We also address related issues such as minimum variance portfolio and mutual fund theorem. The results are notably different from those for the case when there is no regime switching. Nonetheless, if the interest rate is independent of the Markov chain and is deterministic, then the results exhibit (rather unexpected) similarity to their no-regime-switching counterparts, even if the stocks appreciation and volatility rates are Markov-modulated.


We suggest a procedure that is relevant both to electronic performance and human psychology, so that the creative logic and the respect for human nature appear in a good agreement. The idea is to create an electronic card containing basic information about a person's psychological behavior in order to make it possible to quickly decide about the suitability of one for another. This "psychological electronics" approach could be tested via student projects.

Spanish is used as a first language, in the preparation of special education teachers, in polytechnical education, in the formation of interpreters in Cuban Sign Language and in the upgrading of teachers in service. As a second language, for the deaf, in the formation of sign language instructors, the upgrading of deaf people for entering university, improvement of teachers and instructors in schools for the deaf as well as the improvement of the curriculum of general schooling in this institution through programs, courses and teaching pre and post grade materials and for the sub system of primary education for the deaf. Some results of the application of the strategy are shown.


The first UK guideline on the care of adults with systemic lupus erythematosus has been published by the British Society of Rheumatology (Gordon et al, 2017). The clinical guideline is accredited by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The guideline covers diagnosis, assessment, monitoring and treatment of patients with mild, moderate and severe lupus and is mainly for health professionals in secondary care. While rheumatologists and clinical nurse specialists in lupus will find it indispensable, nephrologists, immunologists, dermatologists, emergency medicine practitioners, GPs and many trainees will also use the guideline. The guideline's recommendations address the care of patients with common symptoms such as skin rashes and arthritis as well as those with less common but potentially more serious problems like kidney disease. It covers routine monitoring, treatments that may reduce steroid use and second-line approaches if there is a poor response to first choice treatment. It also promotes the referral of patients with the most serious and difficult-to-control disease to specialized lupus centres with experience of new therapies and multidisciplinary team backup. Professor Caroline Gordon, Professor of Rheumatology in the Rheumatology Research Group, Institute of Inflammation and Ageing, University of Birmingham Research Laboratories, New Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham and lead author commented: 'This guideline is important because it will help clinicians diagnose lupus appropriately and should improve outcomes for patients by providing evidence-based treatments for lupus irrespective of the disease severity and organs involved. It discusses when new biological treatments should be used and encourages recruitment to clinical research trials and studies to inform future management of lupus patients.' She added: 'Once my colleagues in the UK implement this guideline, I would expect that patients will experience measurable improvements in care as a result of earlier diagnosis and more appropriate treatment; they can expect more rapid resolution of symptoms, reduction in disease flares and improvements in their quality of life, with fewer long term complications of the disease and its treatment – and, ultimately, improved survival.'


Human endometrial biopsy and curettage specimens were studied to det ermine the estradiol-binding sites; 40 normal and 10 abnormal endometria l samples were used as well as 15 cervical and endocervical fragments. Concentration of sites in the cervical and endocervical tissues was low at all times in the menstrual cycle. The number of sites in the endometrial samples was higher in the late proliferative phase and early secretory phase than in the last 6 days of the cycle. There were no significant correlations between the number of sites and the clinical condition of the endometrim. The concentration of estradiol-binding sites decreased throughout the length of the organ from fundus to cervix.
