The impact of predators on artificially augmented populations of Lymantria dispar pupae (Lep., Lymantriidae) and the species composition of the predator community were investigated in two oak stands in eastern Austria. The population density of L. dispar has been at innocuous levels for several years at both sites. From mid‐June to mid‐July, we created artificial prey populations by mounting gypsy moth pupae with beeswax on burlap bands placed at the base, 25, 50 and 100 cm height on 25 trees at each site. A total of 6600 pupae were exposed at each site. A total of 92% of exposed pupae were destroyed by predators, at site I (with dense understorey vegetation) whereas 67% were destroyed on site II (with sparse understorey vegetation). Initially, pupal mortality was highest at the base of trees, but differences in mortality among the four locations where pupae were exposed decreased during the course of the study period. Spatial differences in predation were ascertained, suggesting that the aggregation of small mammals, for example, is related to patches of dense shrub vegetation. Pupal mortality was primarily caused by mice (46.3% at site I and 36.4% at site II). Many exposed pupae simply disappeared (40.4% at site I and 22.8% at site II). Calosoma spp. and other invertebrate predators caused very little mortality among L. dispar pupae (5.5% at site I and 7.8% at site II). Trap catches on separate study plots at both sites revealed that Apodemus flavicollis (Rodentia, Muridae) was the most important predator species present, whereas Apodemus sylvaticus (Rodentia, Muridae) and Clethrionomys glareolus (Rodentia, Arvicolidae) were captured in low numbers.


Acinetobacter baumannii is a critical pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections. A. baumannii exhibits resistance to a variety of antibiotic classes, emphasizing that new therapeutic targets are urgently needed. In A. baumannii, ATCC 179778. Among 458 essential genes, 47 are uncharacterized and considered to be an essential hypothetical protein (EHPs). In this study, the functional characterization of EHPs was conducted utilizing variable computational tools. The physicochemical parameters, subcellular localization, domain identification, 3D structure, and virulence capabilities were predicted for the EHPs. According to our results, they were shown to be of a different functional category such as: transporters, enzymes, binding proteins, and virulence factors. Enzymes made up around 47% of the total and 17.6% were predicted as virulence factors. BLASTP analysis against human proteome was tested to identify proteins that is found exclusively in pathogen. The druggable property of the proteins was examined. Of 34, 27 essential pathogen-specific proteins could be considered as new pharmacological targets. In draggability analysis, one EHP turned out to be druggable while the others were novel. Our findings might assist in the innovation of new drugs for Acinetobacter baumannii infections.


Persistent elevation of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) tumor marker in colorectal cancer following surgery carries a poor prognosis and portends


The aim of the research was to study through traditional methods of microbiology, the
microbial component and some physiological groups and with the method of the
Community Level Physiological Profile, heterotrophic activity and functional biodiversity of
microbial communities in relation to vegetation cover and physical-chemical characteristics
of calcareous soils along the flanks of Mounts Bardia and Tului (Dorgali). The sites who
were sampled are 15 and samples were 2 in the spring. The results of microbiological
analysis of soil showed the presence of a soil bacterial community numerically higher than
fungal. Among the groups of microorganisms, the free nitrogen-fixers was the most
abundant because of high values of C/N. The index of Shannon has not shown a good
survey instrument for the high degree of redundancy of microbial communities. The
Average Well Color Development showed that inoculate ecoplates with a too
concentrated microbial suspension (10 5 UFC/ml) does not highlight the differences
between communities, visible inoculating a less concentrated suspension (10 4 UFC/ml).
The PCA combined with the clusters analysis showed that forest cover and overgrazing
appear to be the factors most influence the soil microbial community and there seems no
relationship with soil type. It's confirmed that centrifugation is a valid technique to
standardize the inoculum.


The toponym " Yolmo " appears in Tibetan texts from the fifteenth century onwards and refers to an area near the border of Tibet with Nepal, corresponding to today ' s Nepalese districts of Sindupalchok and the edge of Rasuwa. Yolmo is described as one of the Hidden Lands (sbas yul) concealed by Padmasambhava in the eighth century and opened by sNgags ' chang Śā kya bZangpo, a famous " treasure-revealer " (gter ston), at the beginning of the sixteenth. The first part of this article explores Buddhist cosmology and eschatology, teachings regarding the Age of Decline, and the way these ideas were transferred between cultures and reached Tibet. This discussion provides the wider context for the subsequent analysis of the prophecies attributed to Rig ' dzi rGod ldem, a late fourteenth/early fifteenth century Tibetan treasure-revealer. His prophecies about the End Times warn of foreign invasion and urge people to escape Tibet and find a Hidden Land in the Himalaya to save their lives and preserve Buddhist teachings. Five of these describe the Hidden Land of Yolmo and the way in which it could be transformed into an ideal place to serve as a safe haven for Buddhist practitioners. The third and final part highlights the activities of a Tibetan lama, gTer dbon Nyi ma seng ge, who followed these prophecies in the early eighteenth century and settled in Yolmo. According to the rNying ma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, the great Tantric master Padmasambhava and his consort Ye she mtsho rgyal concealed spiritual treasures ( gter ma ) in the eighth 1 century, to be revealed in the future, when conditions were right for their dissemination and practice. 2 They were concealed in the form of texts, religious objects, remote valleys and lands, or as teachings buried in the mind stream of future reincarnations of ' s direct disciples. , the practitioners. the there is for and common people.

Labour record of the year 1994 was randomized and 859 normal term pregnant women who were in labour pain 6 intact membranes, admitted in labour room for delivery were study about relation of uterine fundal height and neonatal birthweight. Uterine fundal height was significantly relative with neonatal birth- weight. (R 2 = 0.277, P < 0.05). The 10 th , 90 th percentile of uterine fundal height were 32, 40 cm. The 10 th percentile of neonatal birthweight at 32 cm. fundal height was 2,141 grams. The 90 th percentile of  neonatal birthweight at 40 om. fundal height was 4,006 grams. 52.7% of pregnants had uterine fundus 34-37 cm. high. Neonatal birthweight at 10 th , 90 th percentile were 2,550-3,69O grams.


When considering a new processor for a mission, one of the first questions that comes up is: "How does this processor compare with what we have used in the past?" Manufacturers use benchmarks to compare normalized performance from one product to another, but often these data are incomplete and are missing key parameters such as compiler version, compile options used, memory type, and many others. In this work, we present carefully documented benchmarking results for single-core and multi-core Gaisler LEON3 processors. We evaluate both standalone (UT699, UT700, GR712RC-multi-core)and in-FPGA soft-core (single-core LEON3, quad-core LEON3)processors. In the case of multi-core processors, we use the OpenMP API with RTEMS-5.0 real-time operating system to demonstrate performance gains with automatic parallelization of computationally intensive code segments. With increasing demand for high-performance FPGAs on space missions, the option to drop in a soft-core processor into the system design should be on the table, provided there are available FPGA resources. We show that the soft-core LEON3 implementation has comparable frequency-normalized performance and is a good alternative or supplement to a dedicated standalone hard-core processor. By adding one or more soft-core processors into the FPGA design, the data systems architect may eliminate additional hardware, save on overall power, and improve net system performance by optimizing HW-to-SW data transfers. On-board processing, communications, and data management tasks can benefit from a tightly coupled processor inside an FPGA. We present various architectural design considerations that impact the performance and resource utilization of LEON3 processors inside a Microsemi RTG4 FPGA.


Chung ____________________________________ Abstract: Crazy Jane has long been a critical focus in discussing Yeats's dramatis personae in his later poems. Critics have approached her from various perspectives ― source studies, feminist analysis, psychoanalytical interpretation, biographical context, postcolonial approach, etc. Portraits of Crazy Jane are roughly classified in three types, first as Yeats's impersonal mask, second as androgynous voice and gender reverse to express Yeats's Other, and finally Yeats's revision of the traditional gender role and personification of national identity. The present essay takes the view that Crazy Jane is a unity of being that comprehends all these three types, and, more importantly, a unity of opposites that does not merely combine but redemptively synthesizes opposites, "fair and foul," at once inclusive and transcendent


After A-B, A-D transfer learning with compound stimuli, subject-item protocols were categorized according to whether backward, response-to-stimulus recall resulted in B and D eliciting the exact same stimulus component (stay events) or entirely different stimulus components (switch events). Stay events were twice as frequent as switch events, and negative transfer relative to the A-B, C-D control paradigm occurred only for stay events.


Introduction: The deposition of particles in the human lung is known to bring with it both long-term and short-term adverse health consequences. Dust on the lunar surface is pervasive, contains a significant fraction of particles in the repsirable range (< 6μm), and has reactive properties that are of concern in the context of human health. Experience from the Apollo missions shows that dust readily enters the habitat, and so lunar explorers will be exposed to the dust. Determining the risk to the pulmonary system of exposure to lunar dust involves three factors; how readily dust deposits in the lung, what the toxicological potential of the dust is, and once deposited, how long the dust remains in the lung. Studies to assess the toxicological potential of lunar dust are underway by other investigators. This abstract deals with the other two factors, deposition and clearance, both of which have the potential to be altered in the low gravity environment on the lunar surface. Deposition: Deposition of particles in the complex structure of the human lung occurs though a combination of inertial impaction, gravitational sedimentation and diffusion. For particles in size range 0.5 to 2 μm, the primary mechanism of deposition is sedimentation, and as a consequence the deposition of particles in this size range is markedly affected by gravity. To determine the effect of lowered gravity, we measured the deposition of 0.5 and 1 μm-diameter particles in six subjects on the ground (1G) and during short periods of lunar gravity (1/6G) aboard the NASA Microgravity Research Aircraft. Total deposition was measured during continuous aerosol breathing, and regional deposition using aerosol bolus inhalations at penetration volumes (Vp) of 200, 500, and 1200 ml. For both particle sizes (dp), deposition was gravitydependent with the lowest deposition occurring at the lower G-level. Total deposition decreased by 25% and 32% from 1G to 1/6G for 0.5 and 1 μm-diameter particles, respectively. In the bolus tests, deposition increased with increasing Vp (Figure 1). However, the penetration volume required to achieve a given deposition level was larger in 1/6G than in 1G. For example, for dp= 1 μm (0.5 μm), a level of 25% deposition was reached at Vp= 260ml (370ml) in 1G but not until Vp= 730ml (835ml) in 1/6G. Thus in 1G, deposition in more central airways reduces the transport of fine particles to the lung periphery. In the fractional gravity environment of a lunar outpost, while inhaled fine particle deposition may be lower than on earth, those particles that are deposited will do so in more peripheral regions of the lung.


Ten commonly cultivated Indian potato vatieties grown under short day conditions were evaluated for chipping quality and for certain important processing characteristics immediately after harvest. Dry matter contents of the varieties ranged from 16.7-20.7%, while the reducing sugar contents varied between 92-332 mg/100 g fresh weight. Glucose constituted the major fraction of reducing sugars in all the varieties. 'Kufri Jyoti' had maximum content of total phenols, while free amino acids were maximum in 'Kufri Bahar'. There were large variations in the contents of free amino acids and total phenols among varieties. Fresh fried chips prepared from two varieties viz., 'Kufri Sherpa', 'Kufri Lauvkar' were light in colour and acceptable. However, when morphological characters such as tuber size and shape were taken into consideration, only 'Kufri Lauvkar' was found most suitable for chipping.


The onset of chemical and magnetic order in PtMn is accompanied by a large increase in the resistivity, ρ, contrary to that observed in nonmagnetic or ferromagnetic disorder–order transitions. We attribute this to a giant magnetoresistance like magnetic scattering off the antiferromagnetically aligned spins within the PtMn. The characteristics of the resistance change with anneal time in two regimes, with only the second regime involving a disorder/order transition. We have used the change of ρ with time to calculate the activation energy for the L10 transformation in PtMn and found it to be about 1.5 eV for thick films. The activation energy increases significantly for thinner films.


Long has functional neuroimagery exposed the importance of glucose in the fulfilment of the adult brain's energetic needs. Actually, the brain utilizes 25% of total body glucose, mostly to power oxidative metabolism. However, the possible effects of hyperglycaemia on cerebral homeostasis are still contradictory. The clinical significance of hyperglycaemia in the brain emerged upon its formal identification as the prime culprit in comorbid diabetic complications [1]. The most affected collateral targets in diabetes mellitus are the kidneys, the cardiovascular system and the nervous system. Although it is clear that glucose concentrations rise in these cells under conditions of hyperglycaemia, how exactly cellular damage occurs is not as forthright. The current consensus is that oxidative stress explains hyper-glycaemia-induced diabetic complications [2]. Per se, oxidative stress arises from an imbalance between the generation and clearance of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in favor of the former, and may ultimately provoke cell death. This inability to cope with an oxidative overload constitutes a key pathological element, not only in hyperglycaemia, but also in Parkinson's disease (PD) and aging. Indeed, it is now well appreciated that oxidative stress is a key player in the nigrostriatal degeneration observed in PD [3], a neurological condition affecting an estimated 1% of the population over the age of 60 years, making it the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. PD pathology features a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons harbored in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) of the midbrain, which leads to decreased dopamine release in the dorsal striatum responsible for the emergence of motor impairments. The first accounts of a possible association between diabetes and PD date back to almost 60 years ago. Since then, other studies showed that diabetes exacerbates the progression of motor and cognitive deficits in PD and that drug-naïve parkinsonian patients display higher-than-normal levels of fasting blood glucose within the pre-diabetic diagnostic range [4]. Despite arduous efforts deployed to improve our understanding of the neuropathological underpinnings of PD, researchers are still at loss as to why the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway undergoes preferential early degeneration compared, for instance, to the neighEditorial


Maternal education and increased consumer choice are often thought to be the only avenues, outside of institutional policy change, for inducing a cultural shift that will make significant and lasting change in the delivery and consumption of maternity care (Hans & Kimberly, 2011). One of the major challenges in educating women about their maternity care choices is the window of time in which we, as a society, typically encourage women to seek out information about childbirth (Klein et al., 2006).Unfortunately, most women are not educated about pre- and perinatal care options until they have already conceived (Cleeton, 2001). By that point in a woman's life, however, the clear cultural message regarding childbirth has already been deeply instilled: birth is scary, painful, and must happen in the hospital, preferably with medical intervention (Klein et al., 2006; Rooks, Ernst, Norsigian, & Guran, 2008). For example, Lampman and Phelps (1997) reported preconceptive young men and women view cesarean delivery as normal, do not perceive it as a negative experience, and drastically underestimate the consequences to a woman's health.Once pregnant, many women don't know there are possibilities beyond what their own mothers experienced or what they have seen on television, that there are options other than a medicalized birth experience (Green, 2012; Rooks et al., 2008). Some women, if unhappy with their care providers may feel "stuck" or "too far along" in their pregnancies to change their early maternity care choices, even if they do subsequently learn of alternatives in a childbirth education class or in conversation with other women. It is unrealistic to hope that years of cultural indoctrination can be undone and a woman's ingrained beliefs about birth adequately changed through a basic childbirth education class (often taken late in pregnancy).While there are a few studies qualitatively measuring young, collegeage adults' expectations, attitudes, and education about birth (Lampman & Phelps, 1997; Wallach & Matlin, 1992) or the effect of a single-contact educational intervention (Cleeton, 2001), research about how and when young women should be exposed to educational interventions that can shape their attitudes towards birth prior to pregnancy are lacking in the literature. The current work measures the effect of an in-depth educational intervention targeted at pre-conceptive, college-age women.Childbirth is typically viewed by young women as a painful, medical event, often requiring intervention. By providing college-attending women access to information and education in the content areas of birth processes, birth choices, and the history of birth care, as well as the critical thinking skills with which to evaluate this information - this pervasive belief system can be significantly altered.MethodParticipantsParticipants were 27 female students in attendance at a small, private, four-year liberal arts college in the Northeastern United States. Participant demographics for both studies are described in Table 1.ProcedureThe intervention was a 15-week, seminar-style undergraduate college course entitled "The Biopsychology of Birth." The course was organized into three, five-week blocks of material exploring the physical, emotional, social, and cultural experiences of women during pregnancy, birth, and the early post-partum period. These topics were approached historically from both medical and non-medical perspectives and the societal expectations of the pregnant/birthing woman in the United States were critically examined.As part of this course, students read two textbooks, concurrently: Birth: The Surprising History of How we are Born (Cassidy, 2006) gave students a readable history of obstetrical care, while The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth (Goer, 1999) provided a clear and representative portrait of the full spectrum of decisions pregnant women must make in terms of modern day birth care. …

Contained in this issue of "National Women's Health Report," published by the National Women's Health Resource Center, is an overview of current issues and options in the field of contraception. The discussion is summarized in a chart that cites the failure rate (lowest experienced and typical), method of use, benefits, and risks/contraindications for oral contraceptives, diaphragm with spermicide, condom, contraceptive sponge, cervical cap with spermicide, female condom, IUD (Progestasert and Copper T 380A), implants, injectables, and surgical sterilization. Also discussed are contraception considerations for three subgroups: adolescents, women over 40 years of age, and breastfeeding women. Readers are urged to carefully assess the risks and benefits associated with the various contraceptive options as well as personal life-style issues. Finally, two women's health specialists present positions for and against the over-the-counter availability of birth control pills.


Concerns regarding metabolic perturbations occurring during protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimens have led to investigation of switching from a PI-based to a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor- or abacavir-based regimen. There appear to be considerable benefits to switching from a PI-based regimen to one of these PI-sparing regimens. In particular, patients appear generally pleased with the improved administration characteristics of the new regimens, and improvements in quality of life have been reported. However, resolution of the metabolic abnormalities that may arise during PI therapy is incomplete. Peripheral or subcutaneous fat mass improvements are not evident in the studies reported to date. Weight gain, probably in part due to removal of PI-related dietary restrictions, has been observed and may lead to improvements in appearance. Maintenance of virologic control varies among studies but is generally in the range of 85% to 100% of the patients receiving the PI-sparing regimen. The extent of prior drug exposure (or drug resistance) in patients entering the studies may be a key risk factor for loss of virologic control.


Disclosed is a method of making lightweight gypsum products wherein expanded substantially monocellular volcanic ash having a loose bulk density of about 0.05 to about 15 pounds per cubic foot is added to calcined gypsum and water to form a slurry. The hydrated gypsum product formed has a bulk density of about 24 to about 45 pounds per cubic foot.


In this work, a geometrically exact, fully nonlinear Euler‐Bernoulli beam formulation is presented. Herewith a special case of Timoshenko rod models, discussed in various publications such as [2] or [4], is considered. Following the basic assumptions of transversal shear rigidity and plane cross sections, the formulation is based on displacements, their derivatives and a torsional rotation angle, in order to cover finite deformations and rotations. A straight reference configuration is considered, whereas the possibility for initially curved configurations is discussed in [1]. Within the Euler‐Bernoulli theory a cross section undergoes ridged body translation and rotation. While the translation is described by the motion of the beam axis only, the rotation is accounted within a rotational field, see e.g. [3]. In the present formulation, the rotational field is parametrized by the rotation tensor based on Rodrigues formula, which yields a simple update scheme as shown in [5], and is the first of its kind for Euler‐Bernoulli beam models. Using this parametrization an ansatz is presented, that allows for consistent connection of structural members, even in cases of physical discontinuities. On the element level C1 continuous Hermite polynomials are used to interpolate the displacements an their derivatives, while a Lagrangian interpolation scheme is chosen for the torsional rotation. A numerical Benchmark problems is presented to demonstrate the performance of the finite element formulation.


About 80% of the population living in rural areas in developing countries depends on traditional medicine for their health care needs. Many of the powerful drugs used in modern medicines originated in plants. Today's plant-based drugs treat a range of diseases, from headaches to cancer. The objective of the present study was to evaluate phytochemical, antioxidant potential and cytotoxicity of methanolic extract of leaves of Trapa bispinosa Roxb. The phytochemical screening demonstrated the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloid, saponins, and tannins. Total phenolic and flavonoid content of the Trapa bispinosa Roxb. extracts was determined by using the FolinCiocalteu reagent and aluminum chloride (AlCl3) method, respectively. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) free radical assay. In DPPH assay, free radical scavenging activity of the extracts was evaluated comparing with ascorbic acid at the wavelength of 517 nm and the IC50 value of Trapa bispinosa Roxb. extracts was found to be 1.58 μg/ml, whereas ascorbic acid showed the value of 1.129 μg/ml. Moreover, it showed moderate reducing power.In case of brine shrimp cytotoxicity assay, LC50 value was obtained to be 2.87 μg/ml. The present study might be extended for the formulation and evaluation of different antioxidant herbal dosage forms. INTRODUCTION: Many diseases are linked with "oxidative stress" that results from an imbalance between formation and neutralization of prooxidants. Oxidative stress is initiated by free radicals, which cause protein and DNA damage along with lipid peroxidation and these changes contribute to various diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, ageing and inflammatory diseases 1 .

Synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxy toluene and butylated hydroxyanisole have recently been reported to be dangerous for human health. Current research is directed towards finding naturally-occurring antioxidants of plant origin 3 . Trapa bispinosa Roxb. (family Trapaceae) is a small herb well known for its medicinal properties 4 . In Bangladesh, there exists a variety of water chestnut locally known as Paniphal or Singhara. The fruit (nut) of water chestnut is eaten by humans in raw or cooked form 5 .


Amongst the different systems of protection used against the corrosion phenomenon under stress, we find those which physically try to prevent the corrosive agent from reaching the prestressed steel. Such is the case of water-proofing by means of synthetic resin-base membranes.
The article describes the different tests to which this type of membrane should be submitted, with regard to the type of concrete used. It is also necessary to take into consideration the peculiarities of each job.
The object of the tests made was to show the ideal characteristics of epoxy and polyurethane synthetic resins, especially formulated for specific functions.
Three kinds of solutions are established with the use of these resins in those cases of protection against «aggressive» liquids, coming from water pipe exteriors, subjected to high pressures, where prestressed concrete piping has been used to solve this problem.
Details are given on a specific job carried out in which one of the mentioned solutions was used.


On two SiC ceramics and a standard fused silica specimen, depth-sensing indentation tests with a Berkovich indenter were carried out at several peak loads. The loading part of the load-displacement curves were statistically analyzed and it was shown that the loading exponent of the relation P ∝ hn was lower than the expected value of 2 in most of the cases. Factors affecting the loading exponent have been considered and evaluated. It was demonstrated that their effect was minimal on the fitting results.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with a two-dimensional layered structure have been considered highly promising materials for next-generation flexible, wearable, stretchable and transparent devices due to their unique physical, electrical and optical properties. Recent studies on TMD devices have focused on developing a suitable doping technique because precise control of the threshold voltage (VTH) and the number of tightly-bound trions are required to achieve high performance electronic and optoelectronic devices, respectively. In particular, it is critical to develop an ultra-low level doping technique for the proper design and optimization of TMD-based devices because high level doping (about 10 cm) causes TMD to act as a near-metallic layer. However, it is difficult to apply an ion implantation technique to TMD materials due to crystal damage that occurs during the implantation process. Although safe doping techniques have recently been developed, most of the previous TMD doping techniques presented very high doping levels of ~10 cm. Recently, low-level nand p-doping of TMD materials was achieved using cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3), octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), and M-DNA, but further studies are needed to reduce the doping level down to an intrinsic level. Here, we propose a novel DNA-based doping method on MoS2 and WSe2 films, which enables ultra-low nand p-doping control and allows for proper adjustments in device performance. This is achieved by selecting and/or combining different types of divalent metal and trivalent lanthanide (Ln) ions on DNA nanostructures. The available n-doping range (∆n) on the MoS2 by Ln-DNA (DNA functionalized by trivalent Ln ions) is between 6×10 cm and 2.6×10 cm, which is even lower than that provided by pristine DNA (~6.4×10 cm). The p-doping change (∆p) on WSe2 by Ln-DNA is adjusted between -1.0×10 cm and -2.4×10 cm. In the case of Co-DNA (DNA functionalized by both divalent metal and trivalent Ln ions) doping where Eu or Gd ions were incorporated, a light p-doping phenomenon is observed on MoS2 and WSe2 (respectively, negative ∆n below -9×10 cm and positive ∆p above 1.4×10 cm) because the added Cu ions probably reduce the strength of negative charges in Ln-DNA. However, a light n-doping phenomenon (positive ∆n above 10 cm and negative ∆p below -1.1×10 cm-2) occurs in the TMD devices doped by Co-DNA with Tb or Er ions. A significant (factor of ~5) increase in field-effect mobility is also observed on the MoS2 and WSe2 devices, which are, respectively, doped by Tb-based Co-DNA (n-doping) and Gd-based Co-DNA (p-doping), due to the reduction of effective electron and hole barrier heights after the doping. In terms of optoelectronic device performance (photoresponsivity and detectivity), the Tb or Er-Co-DNA (n-doping) and the Eu or Gd-Co-DNA (p-doping) improve the MoS2 and WSe2 photodetectors, respectively.

The art of weaving is an ancient and beautiful technique that never fades. Various weaving techniques and various totem patterns contain rich cultural connotations. The development of cultural and creative industries often uses existing environmental materials to deconstruct and use them in innovative ways to reinspire and present another style. With the rapid progress of computer-aided design technology, digital applications in the design practice has become an important element, and parametric design is the best popular design method in recent years. This paper is mainly in view of the weaving crafts in the traditional culture of the world occupies an important role, and the precious traditional weaving crafts gradually lost. Therefore, it is planned to construct a 3D model with knitting characteristics through a parametric design method, and print out the prototype through the 3D printing mechanism, that is, the traditional craftsmanship is integrated into the modern manufacturing process with innovative techniques, to show the new style of this weaving craft culture that is different from the past, so that it not only retain its inherent spirit, but also can promote this ideal of cultural creativity.

This paper proposes a geometric shape recognition method for a cuboid-shaped indoor space from a point cloud. We first acquire a point cloud using Visual SLAM for a spherical video. Then, we obtain a geometric model for the indoor space by finding a best-fit cuboid from the point cloud and adjusting it to the real-world environment. The geometric model for the indoor space is updated using the recognized cuboid data. We implemented the proposed method and built a prototype application, which is a simple FPS AR game. Our experiments show that the proposed method provides accurate geometric estimation even when there are a lot of noisy map points in the point cloud.


In this article we give general lower bounds of shape resonance widths in the semi-classical limit for Schrodinger operators in the exterior of smooth compact obstacles with Dirichlet or Neuman boundary conditions and with long range dilation analytic potentials. These lower bounds are exponentially small with respect to the Planck constant.


Sequences of more than 100 serial thin sections were cut of entire generative cells of pollen of Brassica campestris. Using transmission electron micrographs, outlines of the cell nucleus, vacuoles and mitochondria were digitized and stored on disc using the Carl Zeiss‐Kontron Videoplan Image Analysis System. The data collected concerned the geometry of cuts and logical collection of cuts into structures, both internal and external. A data translation and surface generation system was established to transfer these data to a VAX‐751 computer to establish an interface to the Intergraph's Interactive Graphics Design System (IGDS). Definition of the surfaces is based on the translated boundaries and structural configuration, enabling three‐dimensional visualization of: (a) the wireframe model; (b) the overall model with removed hidden lines, including colour or monochrome shading; and (c) the shaded image of the internal structures with superimposed wireframe representation of the external structures.


The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE) was designed for reporting acute and late effects of cancer treatment. To date, no study of pediatric‐aged cancer survivors has graded health conditions using CTCAE, for patients in active follow‐up in a cancer survivor program.


Objective To investigqte the prenatal ultrasound features,inspection techniques and clinical value of jaw deformity,and to improve the prenatal detection rate of such deformities.Methods Cases suspected fetal jaw deformities were scanned with routine multi-facets of facial scanning such as transverse,coronal and sagittal sections during prenatal ultrasonography.Firstly,a subjective visual of jaw deformities was carries out by a median sagittal sections of two-dimensional ultrasound,and then a coronal and cross-section scanning were added on suspected patients.The diameter of mandibular anteroposterior and bilparietal were measured and compared.Moreover,a three-dimensional surface reconstruction imaging was built for prenatal diagnosis.All cases diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound were confirmed by the induction of labor.Results Eleven cases had prenatal gnathia malformation,of which 9 cases had micrognathia and other 2 cases had mandibular deficiency.Conclusion Prenatal fetal two-dimensiona ultrasound can detect gnathia malformation clearly.Midline sagittal section is the first choice in diagnosing such deformities.Facial three-dimensional surface imaging has an advantage of a spatial three-dimensional imaging delete,which can reproduce the facial shape and detect the detail defects comprehensively and intuitively,so it is an effective supplementary method to improve the diagnostic accuracy of fetal facial malformations.

SEPTIANI DEWI ARISKA. Diversity and Distribution of Gastropod and Bivalve (Molluscs) in Karang Tirta Estuary, Pangandaran. Supervised by TRI HERU WIDARTO and TRI ATMOWIDI. Karang Tirta estuary is an estuarine zone located in Pangandaran, West Java. Substrate of the area was dominated by coarse sand and its salinity ranges from 10-25 ‰. The aim of the reaserch was to know the diversity and distribution of gastropod and bivalve in the estuary of Karang Tirta, Pangandaran and environmental factors affecting them. Samples of molluscs were collected from 3 stations choosen randomly by using quadrat method. Seventeen species were found in the study sties, 12 species belong to gastropod and 5 species of bivalve. The highest Importance Value Index (IVI) among the species was observed on Tellina radiata with 47.449 %. The lowest IVI was observed on four species belong to gastropod and bivalve with 1.949 %. The diversity index (H') ranged from 0.536 to 2.429, the evenness index (E) was from 0.189 to 0.857, and the dominant index (C) was from 0.001 to 0.037. The highest diversity index (H' = 2.429) was found at station 2 and the lowest (H' = 0.536) was at station 1. The similarity ranged from 0.235 to 0.522. The distribution patterns of molluscs occured mostly in clumps (Id > 1).


While the hydrodynamic function of sharkskin has been controversially hypothesized to be capable of achieving turbulent flow control and drag reduction, sharkskin-inspired "riblets" have been reported to be an effective biomimetic design (BMD). Furthermore, denticles have been found to not only improve fluid properties but also provide an antibacterial effect. We address an integrated study of developing biomimetic riblets inspired by the antibacterial properties of sharkskin denticles. The covering ratio of bacteria on samples with BMD structures was evaluated to confirm the effect of the antibacterial property. Our results indicate that as the non-uniformity of the grooves increases, the bacteria adhering to the surface is removed due to the effect of the longitudinal vortex generated on the sharkskin, and the growth of the biofilm is suppressed.

This paper focuses on the analysis of a virtual seminar in respect to learning processes and learning outcomes of its participants who collaborated over a four month period. To investigate the learning processes in this field study, we analyzed the learners' contributions according to four main learning processes: epistemic activities, construction of a conceptual space, dissemination of shared knowledge, and conflict-orientation. To investigate the learning outcome, we analyzed the joint task solutions with respect to knowledge acquisition and knowledge application. Learners were assigned to three groups who had to solve four tasks relating to the main topics on knowledge management. Results show that learning processes varied depending on the tasks and groups, but no general trend was found. Furthermore, the four task solutions also differed in their quality. The fact that learning processes were related to group products confirms the relevance of learning processes for acquiring and applying knowledge.


Previous analysis [Mateus, ''Aspectos da Fonologia Portuguesa'' (1982)] of Iberian Portuguese nasal vowels has suggested that there are three degrees of nasality, predictable from syllable structure and from the presence or absence of an underlying nasal consonant following the nasal vowel. This study addresses the question of whether vowel quality affects the degree of phonetic nasality in Portuguese. Nasalance measurements of seven native speakers of Portuguese were obtained via a Kay Nasometer 6200, while spectrographic analysis was provided by a Kay CSL 4300B. The present analysis confirms that a trace of the nasal consonant is phonetically present which provides a peak target for the nasal vowel, but the degree of nasality of the vowel itself is solely determined by vowel height: as occurs in other languages with nasal vowels, high vowels have a more constricted oral air passage and hence higher nasalance percentage.

This work focuses on the selection of a set of shape-based features in order to assist radiologists in differentiating between malignant and benignant clustered microcalcifications in mammograms. The results obtained allow the creation of a model for the evaluation of the benignant or malignant character of the microcalcifications in a mammogram, based exclusively on the following parameters: number of clusters, number of holes, area, Feret elongation, roughness and elongation. The performance of the classification scheme is close to the mean performance of three expert radiologists, which allows to consider the proposed method for assisting the diagnosis and encourages to continue the investigation in this field. Additionally, the work is based on an unpublished database formed by patients of the Regional Health Area of Girona, which in the future may contribute to increase the digital mammogram databases.


False alarm generation is very important for radar system simulation applied in the study of radar system performance analysis and in the evaluation of track algorithms. Shipborne radar receivers usually comprise constant false alarm rate (CFAR) devices that adjust the detection threshold level adaptively to keep the probability of false alarm. This paper presents a general model of real-time false alarm simulation for shipborne radar. Two main factors, system noise and sea clutter, are considered in this model. At last, the validity of model is proven by simulation results with the K-distributed sea clutter.


Adalinine (2), a new piperidine alkaloid, has been isolated from the European two-spotted ladybird beetle Adalia bipunctata, and its structure has been determined by spectroscopic methods. This alkaloid was also shown to be present in all the life cycle stages of Adalia bipunctata as well as in the adults of a related species, A. decempunctata.


This article explores the dynamics of a discursive contest between a "Real Food" frame in which, for concerned consumers and activists, processed food is an unhealthy product of a troubled food system, and a "Real Facts" frame in which, for food science and food industry advocates, processed food is a solution to the need to provide abundant, safe, and nutritious food. The analysis focuses on two school curricula that are vying to teach children "where food comes from." I argue that the "food" in these two curricula is not the same thing. Within the Food, Inc. Discussion Guide, food is connection, responsibility, and politics. The Alliance to Feed the Future curricula respond with a strategic anti-politics of food, asserting that food can only be "what it obviously is" and framing Real Food9s challenge as scientific and technical ignorance.

The low-energy peak of the proton spectrum in the reaction /sup 6/Li(..gamma..,p)X is described by the mechanism of proton knockout from a quasi-..cap alpha..-particle by the ..gamma.. ray. A rough estimate of the contribution of the final-state interaction between d and t is given. It is shown that the Feynman pole diagram of Fig. 1a gives the main contribution in the region of the low-energy peak of the reaction /sup 6/Li(..gamma..,p)dt.


We love the local. From the cherries we buy, to the grocer who sells them, to the school where our child unpacks them for lunch, we express resurgent faith in decentralizing the institutions and businesses that arrange our daily lives. But huge, bureaucratic organizations often still shape the character of our jobs, schools, the groceries where we shop-even the hospitals we entrust with our lives. So how, exactly, can we work small, when everything around us is so big? In Organizing Locally, Bruce Fuller shows us, taking stock of America's rekindled commitment to localism across an illuminating range of sectors, unearthing the crucial values and practices of decentralized firms that work. Traveling from a charter school in San Francisco to a veterans service network in Iowa, from a Pennsylvania health-care firm to the Manhattan branch of a Swedish bank, he explores how creative managers have turned local staff loose to craft inventive practices, untethered from central rules and plain-vanilla routines. By holding their successes and failures up to the same analytical light, he vividly reveals the key cornerstones of social organization on which effective decentralization depends. Ultimately, he brings order and evidence to the often strident debates about who has the power - and on what scale - to structure how we work and live locally.


$v_{1}$ on some field $K_{1}$ containing $K_{0}$ with the value group $\Gamma_{1}$ and the residue field $\Delta_{1}$ . All fields considered are commutative. By a valuation $v$ on a field $K$ with the value group $\Gamma$ (which is an additively written linearly ordered abelian group), we mean as usual a map of $K$ onto $\Gamma U\{\infty\}$ with the properties: $v(xy)=v(x)+v(y),$ $v(x+y)\geqq\min(v(x), v(y))$ , for any $x,$ $y\in K$, (cf. $e$ . $g$ . Schilling [1], Zariski [2], Bourbaki [3]). It suffices to prove the theorem in two cases:


A survey was carried out in September 1996 alongside the annual frame survey of Kainji Lake, Nigeria. As in the previous surveys, there were 6 main fishing gear types in use on the lake, which included gill nets, drift nets, beach seines, cast nets, longlines (baited and foul hooking) acid fishing traps. A total of 813 canoes were sampled. The canoe lengths were similar to the previous gear surveys. Altogether 466 gill nets were measured. They had an average length of 149 m, and were mostly bottom set. Of the gill nets measured 68% had a mesh size below 3 inches the minimum mesh size allowable according to the Niger and Kebbi State Fisheries Edict, 1996. Of concern was the large increase in the number of 1 inch meshed nets recorded on the lake. Drift nets had a mean length of 74 m. A total of 88% of all drift nets measured had a mesh size below 2.5 inches, the minimum mesh size stipulated in the State Edict. A total number of 102 beach seines were sampled with a mean length of 110 m, the mesh size in use on the lake remained as 0.1 inches under the Edict beach seines are banned from fishing in Kainji Lake. The decline in the lengths of the beach seines (and therefore catch rates) recorded since l995 was encouraging in the light of the destructive nature of these nets. A total of 30 cast nets were sampled, they had a mean diameter of 9.8 and a mean mesh size of 1.9 inches. All the nets had a hanging ratio of 0.5. Of the cast nets measured 40% had a mesh size below the minimum size of 2 inches recommended by the State Fisheries Edicts. Of concern was the continued rise in the number of gill nets with mesh sizes less than 2 inches. There were 2 types of longlines in operation on the lake. The baited and the foul hooking longlines. They were mostly bottom set and the hook size nos. 12-14 (Kirby sea hook) were predominant. Two types of fishing traps were identified, one was covered with a mesh of thin cane, one with netting material. The fishing traps had a mean height of 0.8 m and a mean width at the vase of 0.53 m. The mean mesh size used was 0.86 inches. Citharinus was reported as the most targeted of all fish species on the lake. Synodontis membranaceous was also targeted by most gears especially the smaller meshed nets. Labeo and Tilapia were low on the list of targeted species but their incidence remains high in the catches. (PDF contains 27 pages)


Objective: To study the value of ProC Global test in venous thromboembolism (VTE). Methods: D-Dimer (DD), coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ), coagulation factorⅤ(FⅤ), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and protein C activity-dependent clotting time-NR (PCAT-NR) were detected by SYSMEX CA-7000 coagulation analyzer. Results: The level of hyper-coagulation was lower in the normal PCAT-NR group with better prognosis, and it obviously increased in PCAT-NR decreasing group with poor prognosis. PCAT-NR level was negatively related to the parameters in patient group. Conclusion: PCAT-NR decreasing is related to the hyper-coagulation state and the prognosis, and it is significant in the treatment and curative effect observation.

Adaptive (and sometimes maladaptive) cortical modulations have long been hypothesized to occur following neurologic insult, yet the relationship between neuroanatomical and functional changes has not been well elucidated, particularly in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recent advances in imaging technologies, however, offer the promise of achieving greater understanding of the relationship between structure, function and behaviour. Such knowledge can, in turn, profoundly influence clinical practice. For example, following stroke, it had been believed that 'recovery of upper extremity function . . . can be achieved only by compensation using the unaffected upper extremity' ([1], p. 852). As such, compensatory training (i.e. teaching of motor skills using the less affected limb) was a common part of clinical practice. However, it has recently been shown that task-specific, repetitive training regimens can cause cortical changes and functional improvements [2]. From these discoveries, effective and efficacious outpatient therapies, such as modified constraint-induced therapy [3], have been developed. Studies of adaptive and/or maladaptive cortical modulation can also provide clinicians with other important information, such as optimal dosage and timing of interventions. There are similar benefits to be realized from a greater understanding of the plastic processes occurring after TBI. Indeed, descriptive investigations of the neural events occurring hours, days, weeks, months and years after TBI, and their relationship to functional outcomes, would invariably improve prognoses. Similarly, longitudinal, prospective studies examining patients' neural and functional responses to various interventions would better inform clinicians on the timing, intensity and utility of these approaches. To date, though, there has been a paucity of studies examining plastic reactions and plasticity-promoting interventions following TBI. It is with this need in mind that this special issue of Brain Injury entitled 'Plasticity in TBI: concepts and applications' is presented. As the name suggests, the issue's focus is broad and interdisciplinary and purposefully examines the concept of plasticity from basic and clinical perspectives. For example, in the lead article, Bach y Rita broadly discusses the conceptual underpinnings of plasticity, including the processes that are encompassed when one is describing a brain as 'plastic'. Functional examples


A system is described for precise monitoring and con trol of the carbon content of the atmosphere of a fur nace such as a carburizer used in the heat-processing of steel parts. The disclosed apparatus includes a sampling system for withdrawing a gas sample from the atmo sphere within a furnace and an analyzer for producing signals indicative of the partial pressures of at least two gaseous components such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The analyzer preferably utilizes selective absorption of narrow-band infrared radiation signals in determining these signals. A processor combines the signals indicative of partial pressures with parameters obtained from measurements of furnace temperature, and calculates carbon potential of the furnace atmo sphere. The processor output is coupled with an atmo sphere control which maintains desired levels of carbon potential in the atmosphere of the furnace by, for exam ple, regulating the flow of an enriching gas to the fur


Resistive switching behaviors of SnO2 films are largely improved by Cu acceptor doping. At a suitable Cu2+ concentration, a high ON/OFF resistance ratio (104), good endurance (104) and long retention (104 s) are achieved in the Cu/SnO2:Cu/Pt sandwich structure with the modulation of carriers and oxygen vacancies. As a memristor, the resistive switching can be triggered by one pulse or a train of pulses, and the latter mode could simulate the long-term potentiation of biological synapses. Moreover, the multi-resistance states during the reset process demonstrate a combination of abrupt and incremental resistive switching. The peculiar conductive behavior of the devices is considered to result from the cooperation of conductive filaments and Schottky barrier, with the oxygen vacancies serving as the bridge. These studies are significant for higher density storage and cognitive computing in future.

Biometric systems is a security technology that uses information about a person to identify the real person. To develop advance security system for detecting spoof attack ,face liveness detection technology has been proposed. The main trouble of applying face recognition is that system not able to detect spoofing faces ( ex – 2D image). The objective of this work is to find spoof attack in our system . Keywords— Face liveness, Biometric systems, Spoofing attacks, Illumination characteristic, Face spoof detection


In many pattern recognition problems solved using convolutional neural networks (CNN), one of the important characteristics of network architecture is the size of the convolution kernel, since it coincides with the size of the maximum element that can act as a recognition sign. However, increasing the size of the convolution kernel greatly increases the number of tunable network parameters. The method of effective receptive field was first applied on AlexNet in 2012. The practical application of the method of increasing the effective receptive field without increasing convolution kernel size is discussed in this article. A presented example of a small network designed to recognize a fire in apicture demonstrates the use of an effective receptive field which consists of a stack of smaller convolutions. Comparison of a original network with a large convolution core and a modified network with a stack of smaller cores shows that, with equal network characteristics, such as prediction accuracy, prediction time, the number of parameters in the network with an effective receptive field, the number of tunable parameters is significantly reduced.


Abstract In this paper, the photochemical transformation of divalent mercury ions and methyl‐mercury in water solutions was studied under simulated sunlight in a laboratory setting. The results indicated that the Hg2+ in solution can be reduced to Hg0 under irradiation, which was subsequently released to gaseous phase. Natural organic matter, such as fulvic acid (FA), can influence the reduction of Hg2+. The reduction rate of Hg2+ in the presence of FA was enhanced in the initial period. Methyl‐mercury can also be photochemically reduced to gaseous Hg0. Both the irradiation and FA can greatly accelerate the transformation process in solution. This study was of significance in understanding the transformation of divalent mercury and methyl‐mercury at the water‐atmosphere interface.


The pathogenicity of eight isolates of Rhizoctonia solani from different anastomosis groups was evaluated on five cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) cultivars under greenhouse conditions. Damping-off, plant height and fresh weight were used as criteria to evaluate pathogenicity. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the cultivar and cultivar x isolate interaction were always non-significant sources of variation in all the tested parameters. The isolate was always a highly significant (P=0.000) source of variation in all the tested parameters. The results of the ANOVA in the present study suggest that physiologic specialization did not occur within R. solani isolates pathogenic on cotton. They also imply that resistance of the tested cultivars was only horizontal, and there were no significant differences among cultivars in this type of resistance. Similarly, pathogenicity of the tested isolates was only aggressiveness, and the isolates significantly differed in this type of pathogenicity. A hierarchical cluster analysis was conducted in order to group the isolates according to disease variables measured on the tested cultivars. Cluster analysis divided the isolates into groups; however, grouping the isolates was not related to their AGs.


Microresonator based frequency combs or microcombs have attracted considerable interest in recent years as they would benefit a widespread of applications including high speed communication system, metrology, ultrafast optical clocks and on chip optical signal processing. A great amount of work on microcombs has been done in the past few years; coherent sources based on optical parametric generation have been achieved [1]. For stabilisation purposes, especially in metrological applications, it is key to fine control the repetition rate of the microcomb [1].


With the recent commissioning of ground instruments such as SPHERE or GPI and future space observatories like WFIRST-AFTA, coronagraphy should probably become the most efficient tool for identifying and characterizing extrasolar planets in the forthcoming years. Coronagraphic instruments such as Phase mask coronagraphs (PMC) are usually based on a phase mask or plate located at the telescope focal plane, spreading the starlight outside the diameter of a Lyot stop that blocks it. In this communication is investigated the capability of a PMC to act as a phase-shifting wavefront sensor for better control of the achieved star extinction ratio in presence of the coronagraphic mask. We discuss the two main implementations of the phase-shifting process, either introducing phase-shifts in a pupil plane and sensing intensity variations in an image plane, or reciprocally. Conceptual optical designs are described in both cases. Numerical simulations allow for better understanding of the performance and limitations of both options, and optimizing their fundamental parameters. In particular, they demonstrate that the phase-shifting process is a bit more efficient when implemented into an image plane, and is compatible with the most popular phase masks currently employed, i.e. fourquadrants and vortex phase masks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the artificial teeth project from in years 2005 to 2007 in Thamuang Hospital. Kanchanaburi. Over the period of time, the project has served 87 seniors citizen with goals to improve the physical, emotional and social aspects of their lives and also to keep track of the access of artificial teeth in senior citizen.


Over the last 40 years, academics, activists and policymakers have attempted to improve police and criminal justice (CJ) responses to rape, yet attrition in rape cases continues to rise (ONS, 2021). Rape attrition studies have increasingly scrutinised the CJ process, initially in smaller scale, local research (for example, Lees and Gregory, 1993) and more recently through national analysis of the CJ outcomes of police reported cases (for example, ONS, 2021). While this has greatly enhanced understanding of why cases may drop out, the focus has increasingly been on explaining attrition in the hope of improving CJ outcomes, rather than victim-survivors' voices and what they want from the process. Similarly, to explore attrition at the police stage, surveys have been undertaken with officers to understand their attitudes, including rape myth acceptance (for example, Sleath and Bull, 2012); again, with a focus on improving substantive CJ outcomes. In this article we call for researchers, activists and policymakers to pause and reflect upon the political and ideological reasons behind a focus on particular research questions using particular methodologies; and whether there is a need for more victim-survivor centred, indeed person-centred, research and practice where the focus is more on procedural justice rather than substantive justice.Key messagesAnalysis of case files has indicated where rape and sexual assault cases drop out of the criminal justice system from reporting through to potential conviction, with most cases dropping out at the police phase (for example, Hester, 2013).Surveys explore rape myth acceptance among police officers' (for example, Sleath and Bull, 2012).While some of these studies are mixed methods (for example, Kelly et al, 2005; Hester, 2013), the majority are quantitative and focused on substantive justice outcomes.What gains less attention in policing rape research is whether victim-survivors gain procedural justice within the criminal justice process, including fairness of treatment and attention to wellbeing.The impacts of being a police officer working with rape cases, in terms of burnout and staff welfare, has started to gain some attention (Foley and Massey, 2020) and potential impacts of this on the victim-survivor is starting to be evidenced (Anglioni, 2015).What is needed is to rethink what the CJS should be focused on and what research should be focused on: to move from a focus on substantive justice outcomes to procedural justice and person-centred practice.


This paper discusses a way of designing a user-oriented Bus Information System (BIS) system that allows bus users to plan a trip itinerary and to query service-related information, such as schedules and routes using interactive communication technologies. Most of the BIS have relied on fixed schedules to provide customers with information about bus routing and schedules. Bus users have had to select proper routes and transfer pointed based in the information shown on either the kiosk for bus information terminal (BIT). Use of schedule and current operating conditions are complex and can be confusing for many people. Bus service agents can suggest itinerary plans for customers based on printed route maps, published schedules, and service updates not yet made on the printed schedules. This manual itinerary planning process is tedious, time-consuming, redundant, and often error-prone. Computer aided trip planning and information systems were developed to automate and process and provide the user-oriented information through the internet and BIT.


With the reform and the open policy,the economy of Guizhou has developed rapidly.People's living standard and their income level have been greatly increasing.But along with the deepening of society transition,under the benefit differentiation,the income differentiation expands unceasingly,which has become a prominent problem among the distribution spheres of benefit communities such as urban and rural areas,professions,regions,resident families and so on.Therefore,to cease the expanding tendency and to control the gap in the reasonable scope has become the key to construct the harmonious society of Guizhou.For this purpose,this article will analyze or explore the conditions,reasons and countermeasures of income differentiation from the multiple perspectives.


A two-dimensional framework for Decision Support Systems (DSS) cost-benefit analysis is proposed. One dimension reflects the degree to which the supported decision is structured, the level of managerial activity, the level of uncertainty and the source of information used, while the second dimension classifies DSS based on the phase of the supported decision according to Simon's model for the decision-making process. The review of the current literature reconciles some of the contr#dictory findings in the DSS cost-benefit literature, and shows that the adequacy of the valuation method depends on the attributes of the system. The main DSS valuation issues are identified, and the paper discusses the potential gap between price (determined by estimated costs or the market) and the value (which is subjective). The magnitude of this gap is found to be correlated with the extent to which the supported decisions are structured.


Based on the analysis,comparison on a variety of information systems planning,we conduct the research on the information systems planning for the university based on the BSP method.Through the instance of the planning process,we discuss the identification of university development goals,the establishment of the university business model,the definition for data class,dividing the subsystem platform,at last we derived university information systems architecture.


A possible avenue towards the covariant formulation of the bosonic Matrix Theory is explored. The approach is guided by the known covariant description of the bosonic membrane. We point out various problems with this particular covariantization scheme, stemming from the central question of how to enlarge the original U(N) symmetry of Matrix Theory while preserving all of its essential features in the infinite momentum frame.


Ba Gu Wen(Eight-Legged Essay) is the main literary style in the imperial examination system in Ming and Qing Dynasties to which the novel authors were very familiar then and they formed the Ba-Gu-Wen(Eight-Legged-Essay) inertia thought gradually in their long-term learning process and used it when writing novels.The utilization not only displays in the content related to Ba Gu Wen(Eight-Legged Essay) mentioned frequently by the novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties,but in the in-depth creation of them as well,on which,to some degree,the prosperity of the novels also depend.


Research in the behavioral sciences has generally been finding that managers can be more effective by adapting their leadership style (i.e., the decision-making process) to fit the circumstances surrounding the decision to be made. This describes a model which has been developed by industrial psychologists. This model is designed to be used by managers to help them select the most appropriate decision-making process given a particular set of relevant circumstances. The model consists of a set of five decision-making processes, a set of simple questions managers can use to assess the circumstances surrounding their decision situations, and a procedure to help managers to choose among the alternative decision-making processes. It is proposed that this model can be useful in helping MIS project team leaders improve their teams' decision-making processes. To illustrate its usefulness, the model is applied to several decision problems facing a hypothetical MIS project team leader.


The heptapeptide angiotensin-(1-7) is a biologically active metabolite of angiotensin II, the predominant peptide of the renin-angiotensin system. Recently, we have shown that the receptor Mas is associated with angiotensin-(1-7)-induced signalling and mediates, at least in part, the vasodilatory properties of angiotensin-(1-7). However, it remained controversial whether an additional receptor can account for angiotensin-(1-7)-induced vasorelaxation. Here, we used two different angiotensin-(1-7) antagonists, A779 or D-Pro-angiotensin-(1-7), to address this question. We also studied the influence of both antagonists on the vasodilatation induced by bradykinin. Isolated mesenteric microvessels from both wild-type and Mas deficient C57Bl/6 mice were pre-contracted with norepinephrine, and vascular reactivity to angiotensin-(1-7) and bradykinin was subsequently studied using a small vessel myograph. Both peptides, angiotensin-(1-7) and bradykinin, triggered a concentration-dependent vasodilation in wild-type microvessels, that was totally absent in the presence of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor ω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). In these vessels, the pre-incubation with the Mas antagonists A779 or D-Pro-angiotensin-(1-7) totally abolished vasodilatatory capacity of both angiotensin-(1-7) and bradykinin, which was nitric oxide-mediated. Accordingly, Mas deficient microvessels lacked the capacity to relax in response to either angiotensin-(1-7) or bradykinin. In murine microvessels, the angiotensin-(1-7) antagonists A779 and D-Pro-angiotensin-(1-7) equally block a receptor, which mediates the complete angiotensin-(1-7)-induced vasodilation in mesenteric microvessels. Importantly, beyond mediating the vascular actions of angiotensin-(1-7), Mas appears to be also a critical player in NO-mediated vasodilation induced by renin-angiotensin system-independent agonists.


Axenic cultures of diatoms are diluted with sterile medium so that drops containing only a single cell can be placed on sterile cover-slips. After a rapid microscopic check, the cover-slips are then placed in new culture medium. The whole process can be carried out aseptically with no difficulty.


We herein report a case involving a 35-year-old woman with spinal cord injury (SCI) in whom autonomic dysreflexia (AD) newly developed during pregnancy and resolved after delivery. The neurological level and severity of SCI according to the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) was T4 AIS-A. The patient had sustained an SCI 20 years prior. Upon presentation, she reported a newly developed increased need to empty her bladder, facial flushing, palpitation, sweating, and headache during pregnancy. She was hospitalized for careful observation at 33 weeks of gestation. The intensity and frequency of the symptoms of AD increased with time. She underwent a cesarean section under general anesthesia at 36 weeks of gestation. Three weeks after the delivery, her vital signs normalized and AD symptoms improved. This case indicates that careful evaluation and proper management of AD symptoms in pregnant women with SCI are essential. For proper prevention and management of AD, education about AD symptoms and supportive management to prevent AD symptoms are necessary for the patient, physician, and multidisciplinary approach team.


(Ba0.92−xCa0.08Ndx)(Ti0.82Zr0.18)O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.02) were prepared through solid reaction route. The relaxor behavior of (Ba0.92-xCa0.08Ndx)(Ti0.82Zr0.18)O3 have been studied. When x = 0, a broad dielectric peak with frequency dispersion occurred, with increasing Nd3+ content, the relaxation and diffuseness degree was strengthened. Atomic computer simulation has been used to predict the energy for different defect associates [Nd•Ba + NdTi′] and [4Nd•Ba + VTi′′′′]. Local random field induced by such off-center Nd3+ ions and [Nd•Ba + NdTi′] and [4Nd•Ba + VTi′′′′] gives rise to the relaxor behavior.

An intrinsically nonlinear operation can complicate the damage detection process. Furthermore, the data variation related to actual measured signals makes the use of stochastic approaches essential, improving the reliability of the methods. Therefore, a stochastic version of the Volterra series based on the idea of multiple models (MM) is proposed to describe the behavior of the nonlinear structures in reference conditions, and statistical tools are implemented to introduce a hypothesis test to detect damage considering the presence of uncertainties.


Telithromycin is the first member of a new family of the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin-B (MLS B ) class of antimicrobials, the ketolides. It has a good spectrum of activity against respiratory pathogens, including penicillin-and erythromycin-resistant pneumococci, as well as intracellular and atypical bacteria. Furthermore, it has a low potential to select for resistance or induce cross-resistance among other MLS B antimicrobials. At the recommended dosage of 800mg orally once daily, telithromycin reaches maximal plasma concentrations of about 2 mg/L. It penetrates rapidly into bronchopulmonary tonsillar, sinus and middle ear tissues and/or fluids and achieves high concentrations at sites of infection. It also concentrates within polymorphonuclear neutrophils. In clinical trials in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB) or pharyngitis/tonsillitis caused by group A β-haemolytic streptococci, telithromycin 800mg once daily achieved clinical cure rates of 86 to 95%. In acute maxillary sinusitis (AMS), cure rates were 73 to 91%. A 7- to 10-day regimen of telithromycin was as effective as a 10-day course of amoxicillin 1000mg 3 times daily, clarithromycin 500mg twice daily or a 7- to 10-day course of trovafloxacin 200mg once daily for treating CAP. A 5-day regimen of telithromycin was as effective as a 10-day regimen of cefuroxime axetil 500mg twice daily or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 500/125mg 3 times daily in AECB. A 5-day regimen of telithromycin was as effective as a 10-day regimen of clarithromycin 250mg twice daily or phenoxymethylpenicillin 500mg 3 times daily in pharyngitis/tonsillitis, or a 10-day regimen of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 500/125mg 3 times daily in patients with AMS. Telithromycin was well tolerated across all patient populations. Adverse events associated with telithromycin were generally mild to moderate in intensity and seldom led to treatment discontinuation. The most frequent adverse events were diarrhoea (13.3%) and nausea (8.1%). Other adverse events included dizziness and vomiting.

In this paper we exploit Ruelle-type spectral functions and analyze the Verma module over Virasoro algebra, boson–fermion correspondence, the analytic torsion, the Chern–Simons and [Formula: see text] invariants, as well as the generating function associated to dimensions of the Hochschild homology of the crossed product [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]-Weyl algebra). After analyzing the Chern–Simons and [Formula: see text] invariants of Dirac operators by using irreducible [Formula: see text]-flat connections on locally symmetric manifolds of nonpositive section curvature, we describe the exponential action for the Chern–Simons theory.


The paper explores the possibility of philosophical cooperation between Thomism and American pragmatism by resurrecting a largely forgotten debate between Wilmon Henry Sheldon and Jacques Maritain. The discussion focuses primarily on the problem of truth as it is discussed by Peirce and by some contemporary Thomists, including Maritain but also Milbank, Pickstock, Lonergan, Balthasar, Pieper, and Ulrich. The paper claims that, if we bring Peirce's version of pragmatism into the picture, cooperation is not possible but likely to be fruitful for both pragmatism and Thomism.


Currently, the place of play in schooling and education is controversial. Even in pre-school, where play is most likely to be found, its status is often precarious. This article notes that in many ancient religious traditions, play is sometimes viewed as sinful, whereas work, its antithesis, is seen as virtuous. The German educationist, Friedrich Froebel, departed radically from these evaluations and devised a system of educative play based on toys and games to be used in his institution for the education of young children, the kindergarten. Nevertheless, while at the same time as being a prominent advocate of the notion that play was a worthwhile and necessary part of an early childhood curriculum, Froebel thought it subordinate in value to what it was intended to lead to, work of a manual nature. The reading of Froebel and the Froebel Movement presented here situates his conceptions of play and work within the intellectual context of German Romanticism and Idealist philosophy.  The main contours of thought on play and work are traced in the writings of Kant, Schiller, Hegel and Marx, through a consideration of work as both emancipatory and alienating. This theme is pursued in the thought of leading English Romantics and various figures within the Marxist tradition, including some attached to Soviet ideology. It is argued that the Froebel revisionists, like Schrader Breymann and many Froebelians inspired by G. Stanley Hall and John Dewey, tended to abandon the view of work embraced by Froebel and focused more on play, aided by the interests and findings of the developing field of psychology and the lengthening of compulsory schooling.


The objective of this experiment is to evaluate the oxidation performance and heat resistance of the Ultra-high Temperature Ceramics (UHTCs) ZrB2 and HfB2 under high temperature, high heat flux, ablative, and oxidative environments. The investigation of UHTCs such as ZrB2 and HfB2 could potentially lead to new, easily reusable thermal protection systems (TPS) for space craft. The UHTC samples will be oxidized using an oxy-acetylene torch and a high temperature air furnace. The torch will expose the samples to rapid heating, high velocity combustion gasses, and sample temperatures in excess of 3000°C. The furnace will expose the samples to temperatures up to 1600°C in static air. Once tested, the samples will be analyzed to determine weight change, ablation rate, oxide layer thickness, and oxidation reaction products. It is expected that the torch test will produce a more aggressive environment than the air furnace resulting in greater oxidation of the UHTC specimens.

High power lasers suffer from being large and inefficient. This paper will review the present status of electric laser technology and their prospects for lower SWaP and for being scaled to 100 kW cw.


This paper, while emphasizing the linkage between the concepts of "empowerment" and "learning", argues that empowerment provides the most appropriate base to effectively implement learning in construction organizations. It is argued that "efficacy‐information", being a derivative of empowerment, helps influence employees' behavior in seeking, managing and utilizing knowledge at job sites. Within this context, this paper proposes the efficacy‐information model being developed out of a series of detailed case studies conducted at large civil and building construction organizations in UK. The model presented in this paper depicts several types of efficacy‐information, of which, most put employees as being responsible for seeking and deploying them at job site. It must be noted that the efficacy‐information model should not be considered as complete but it should continually evolve based on future investigations.


Introduction When athletes perform poorly on the field or engage in unscrupulous acts off-the-field (e.g., domestic violence), fans may be at a crossroads. While fans could support the athlete through these transgressions, they could also harshly disparage the athlete and dissociate the transgressor from the team. In society, however, cases of wayward athletes have not only been met with disassociation, but also with amnesty. For example, former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was identified as an alleged murder suspect in 2000. Although Lewis was the subject of punitive criticism by the media and fans alike, he was able to redeem himself by performing at an elite level on the field, utilizing humanitarian work as an outlet for image enhancement, and finally, maintaining the persona of being the ideal professional as a teammate and family man (Busbee, 2013). Today, Lewis is celebrated by many and his purported transgressions appear distant. Thus, it appears that post-transgression actions can truly have an impact on how athletes are perceived as well as how their former transgressions can be pardoned. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study is to investigate how fans' perception of a deviant athlete can be influenced by novel posttransgression behaviors.

To the Editor:— With great interest, I read your fine editorial inThe Journal, Oct. 22, 1960, entitled "Two Centuries of New Jersey Medicine." Through no fault of yours the name of Dr. William Burnet was omitted, and I thought his name should be brought up as he was a founder of the New Jersey State Medical Society and was twice president of that organization, the first state medical society in the United States. Dr. Burnet was born Dec. 2, 1730. He graduated from the second class of Princeton University in 1749 and studied medicine under the celebrated Dr. Staats in New York City, as there were no medical schools in America at that time. He practiced in Newark, N. J. In 1776-77 he was elected a member of the Continental Congress, but resigned at General Washington's request to become Surgeon General of the Eastern District of the Continental Army.


The central odontogenic fibroma is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm. It arises from either dental follicle or periodontal ligament or dental papilla. The lesion is characterized by collagenous fibrous connective tissue, containing varying number of islands or strands of odontogenic epithelium. Here, we present a case report of odontogenic fibroma in a 20-year-old female patient with unusual presenting symptoms.


The purpose of the study is to analyze the suspicions of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the National Hospital "Edgardo Rebagliati Martins" in 2007. The method of spontaneous notification of ADRs was used compiling the yellow paper of the services of hospitalization. The decision algorithm was evaluated the suspicions of ADRs using to establish the causality relation. Later, it came to the classification from the RAMs according to method WHO-ART in organs and affected systems, as well as the classification anatomical therapeutic chemistry of the suspicious drug. Finally, it was determined that the antiinfectious agents for systemic use were the therapeutic group with greater proportion of ADRs, having in the first place to vancomycin. To others, within the group of the transtornos of skin and appendices, the cutaneous rash as the most frequent ADR with 70,31%, followed by erythemas with 12,50% and prurito with 4,69%
