The transport by materially coherent eddies is studied in a two-layer quasigeostrophic model of geophysical turbulence. The coherent eddies are identified by closed contours of the Lagrangian-averaged vorticity deviation obtained from Lagrangian particles advected by the flow. A series of flow regimes with different bottom friction strengths are considered---it is found that coherent eddies become more prevalent and longer-lasting as the strength of the bottom drag increases. These coherent eddies, with average core radius close to the deformation radius, propagate zonally with speeds close to the long baroclinic Rossby wave speed and meridionally with a preference for cyclones to propagate poleward and anticyclones to propagate equatorward. The meridional propagation preference of the coherent eddies gives rise to a systematic upgradient potential vorticity (PV) transport, which is in the opposite direction as the background PV transport and not captured by standard Lagrangian diffusivity estimates. The upgradient PV transport by coherent eddy cores is less than 10% of the total PV transport, but the PV transport by the periphery flow induced by the PV inside coherent eddies is significant and downgradient. This clarifies the distinct roles of the trapping and stirring effect of coherent eddies in PV transport in geophysical turbulence.


A magnetic tape guidance AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) central control system is composed of a PLC module, a magnetic guidance sensor, a landmark sensor, an angle potentiometer, a safety shield sensor, a direct-current motor speed regulator, a power supply module, a wireless communication module, and an upper computer. The magnetic guidance sensor, the landmark sensor, the angle potentiometer, and the safety shield sensor are all connected to the PLC module. The PLC module is composed of a PLC, an A/D converter, and a D/A converter. The PLC module is connected with a motor through the direct-current motor speed regulator. The wireless communication module comprises a wireless communication subsidiary module and a wireless communication primary module. The wireless communication subsidiary module is connected with the PLC module through an RS-485 serial port line. The wireless communication primary module is connected with the upper computer through an RS-232 serial port line. The beneficial effects of the utility model reside in that the PLC module is employed for shortening the production and development period of the magnetic tape guidance AGV control system and improving the reliability and stability of the magnetic tape guidance AGV control system; and the system is convenient to maintain and strong in scalability.


Abstract In recent years, with the rise of an intelligent concept, oral and maxillofacial surgery smart dressing had also attracted the interest of researchers, especially for the pH sensor with flexible medium. In this study, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous yarn was fabricated by a conjugate electrospinning process and modified with in situ polymerization of polyaniline (PANI) forming a PANI/PVDF yarn. By a weaving process, these yarns could be weaved into a fabric. It was found that both the PANI/PVDF yarn and the fabric showed a sensitivity to pH, about −48.53 mV  per pH for yarn and −38.4 mVper pH for fabric, respectively, in the pH range of 4.0–8.0. These results indicated that the prepared PANI-modified PVDF yarn and fabric might have a potential application in intelligent oral and maxillofacial surgery dressings for monitoring wound healing.


Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is a monoamine neurotransmitter
 synthesised from L-tryptophan in serotonergic neurons and enterochromaffin
 cells of the gastrointestinal tract. This neurotransmitter is widely
 distributed in the animal and plant kingdom and regulates some central and
 peripheral functions through several types of specific serotonergic (5-HT)
 receptors. Since it is known that the effect of serotonin, especially in
 pathological conditions, is very important, we believe that determining the
 types of receptors for this substance would make it possible to use their
 agonist or antagonists, which would undoubtedly enhance the pharmacotherapy
 of functional disruption of the small intestine in broilers. Investigations
 were carried out on isolated smooth muscle strips of the circular and
 longitudinal layer of the broiler small intestine (strip dimension 3-4 mm x 2
 cm). The muscle strips were placed in an isolated organ bath. The mechanical
 activity of the preparations was recorded via an isotonic force transducer
 coupled to a pen recorder. This was done following the addition of serotonin
 (nonselective 5-HT agonist), 8-OH-DPAT (selective 5-HT1A agonist) and
 spiroxatrin (selective 5-HT1A antagonist). The sensitivity of the tissues to
 acetylcholine was tested before starting the experiments. Using the obtained
 results, it can be concluded that 5HT1A type receptors are present in smooth
 muscles of the broiler small intestine, duodenum and ileum, especially in the
 longitudinal smooth muscle layer which reacted with contractions even to low
 serotonin concentration (10-6), but not in the jejunum.


The thermal stability of the GeSbTe (GST) films deposited by layer-by-layer metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on the planar TiAlN∕Si and on trenches 120nm in diameter and 500nm deep (with aspect ratio of 4:1) was investigated under various annealing temperatures and durations in a nitrogen ambient atmosphere. The inhomogeneous distribution of the Ge and Sb elements in the as-grown GST layer was improved by a thermal treatment at 500°C for 60min in nitrogen ambient. The GST films annealed above 500°C for 30 and 60min were delaminated from the TiAlN electrode. Samples annealed at 700°C for 1min, above the melting temperature of the GST, show a decreased thickness, indicating that the GST films were thermally unstable. The as-grown films on trenches did not show a complete fill of the structure, whereas the trenches were more fully filled after a thermal treatment at 500°C for 60min.


Evolved traits such as intuitive skills have allowed individuals to quickly evaluate a suitable sexual partner in about 100 ms (Olson and Marshuetz, 2005; Willis and Todorov, 2006; Todorov, 2008). Having determined that someone is attractive at first sight, an individual may become emotionally attached to that person and communicate their affection via a copulatory gaze, in which the individual gazes into the other person's eyes for many seconds (Fisher, 1992). In this opinion piece, I discuss why an individual can become attracted to and emotionally attached to another person in an instant at first sight and I propose how such feelings may be requited and thus how love at first sight between two people can occur if the receiver of such attraction has similar attributes to the individual.


presupposes no previous knowledge of biology and bio-chemistry, which makes it useful to students at the Teachers Certificate level, students in all aspects of child care, and parents who would like information on growth, development, nutrition and the more physical aspects of child development. Ear and eye defects are dealt with, and the particular infectious diseases and handicaps which the practising teacher is likely to meet. In the latter chapter, short, factual, information is given on such illnesses as asthma, epilepsy and diabetes which the teacher will welcome, as in every classroom to-day one or more of these handicaps are to be met. However, more information would be needed in order to develop teacher confidence in helping children cope with these problems. Teachers and students alike will welcome the chapter on first aid and accident prevention. The emphasis of the book is on physical rather than mental, emotional and social health. There is a chapter entitled Dangerous Habits and Mental Health which deals briefly and factually with smoking, drugs and alcohol without a discussion of the personality factors involved. Mental health per se has a brief two pages. The last chapter on Health Education in the School, is a useful introduction to a very wide topic and as with other chapters one wants more information. Perhaps it would have been useful to have had a bibliography and suggestions for further reading at the end of


Based on economic considerations, it has been proposed to increase the lifetime of LEU fuel elements in the Ford Nuclear Reactor by raising the {sup 235}U plate loading from 9.3 grams in aluminide (UAl{sub x}) fuel to 12.5 grams in silicide (U{sub 3}Si{sub 2}) fuel. For a representative core configuration, preliminary neutronic depletion and steady state thermal hydraulic calculations have been performed to investigate core characteristics during the transition from an all-aluminide to an all-silicide core. This paper discusses motivations for this fuel element upgrade, results from the calculations, and conclusions.


Thick target yields for the reaction /sup 6/Li(d,nUPSILON)/sup 7/Be have been measured using LiF and LiC1 targets at deuteron bombarding energies between 48 and 170 keV. Assuming recently published values for the stopping powers of deuterons in Li and F, the LiF thick target yields were used to deduce the total cross section for the reaction, /sup 6/Li(d,nUPSILON)/sup 7/Be. The cross section varies from about 0.3 mb at 160 keV to about .004 mb at 60 keV. A comparison between the yields measured used the LiF and LiC1 targets allowed a measurement of the relative stopping powers of deuterons in F and C1. A significant discrepancy is observed between measured values of the relative stopping powers and the predicted value of the relative stopping powers based on recently published values.


The objective of the study was to assess breast masses by ultra sonography as probably benign, so that biopsy can be deferred. We have evaluated 336 patients with songraphically visible solid breast masses, which were advised biopsy. Mammography and sonography features were recorded and all masses were characterized by American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System classification (BIRADS) before biopsy. Of the 336 masses 34 were catagorized as probably benign (breast imaging reporting and data system). Sonography guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration was performed for pathologic correlation. A total of 34 masses were selected that met the sonographic criteria for probably benign masses and there was 1 malignancy for a negative predictive value of 97.05%. Follow up can be an acceptable alternative to biopsy for sonographically probably benign masses.


The purpose of this paper is to develop, from a very wide variety of public data, a synthesis of the status of water supply, demand, and quality for the United States from 1985 to the present, in an effort to obtain a dynamic baseline for assessing the sustainability of multiple water uses. Although the United States has relatively ample supplies of water, it is likely that deficits will occur in areas with increasing population and economic development. Variations in population, industrial, and agricultural production are driven by internal and external factors among which water probably causes the largest disruptions because of the inability to adapt to those changes. Climate changes due to global and regional warming trends also have major impacts on water availability and quality, although they are less sudden than structural changes in the economy. To help frame a baseline from which those changes can be measured to assess its sustainability for the population of the United States, we summarize the most salient findings about the status of US water supply, demand, and quality at the level of the water resource regions, and states over a period of approximately 20 years. Our synthesis of the data collected by the US agencies indicates that water quality is improving and the supply of water for the United States is generally good. However, shortages of water predicted from linear extrapolations of past trends, appear principally to affect the western water resource regions. Using US Census Bureau 'high population' forecasts, water shortages may be felt earlier and in more water resource regions than previously expected. These conclusions implicitly take into account changes in the US economy during the mid-eighties but do not account for: regional-scale climate, legal low-flow requirements, or other non-routine occurrences.


The spectrum of millimeter-wave frequencies is becoming increasingly crowded due to the advances in fifth generation (5G) communications and automotive radar, leading to greater interest in spectrum coexistence for functions like sensing and communications. While most research has focused on minimizing interference between sensing and communications, we take a different approach that leverages dense communications signal environments for passive sensing applications. We present a millimeter-wave imaging system that captures information in the spatial frequency (Fourier) domain, similar to concepts used in radio astronomy. In contrast to traditional millimeter-wave sensing and imaging approaches, Fourier-domain image formation is improved as more incoherent signals are included in the environment. In particular, multiple millimeter-wave communications signals generate spatiotemporal incoherence, which enables Fourier-domain sampling and image formation. We present a method for characterizing the imaging efficacy of communications signals in an environment based on new spatiotemporal coherence metrics. We discuss simple solutions to problems of increasing spatial coherence in cases where transmit resources are limited. Finally, we demonstrate a 38 GHz millimeter-wave imaging system capturing 5G communications signals from a set of independent transmitters, demonstrating the ability to image multiple objects in a scene.


Inverted structure ternary polymer solar cells (PSCs) are designed by blending J61 and PffBTT2-DPPT2 as the donor and Y6 as the acceptor. J61:PffBTT2-DPPT2:Y6 ternary films can replenish the weak absorption of PffBTT2-DPPT2:Y6 binary films at medium wavelengths and broaden near-infrared wavelength absorption windows. At the J61/PffBTT2-DPPT2, J61/Y6 and PffBTT2-DPPT2/Y6 triple interface, the more efficient exciton dissociation is formed in the ternary photoactive layers due to the good compatibility among J61, PffBTT2-DPPT2 and Y6. Simultaneously, effective hole transport occurs at the blend donors due to the similar highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels of both J61 and PffBTT2-DPPT2. Optimized ternary PSCs have a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13.88%, with a short-circuit current density (JSC) of 24.04 mA cm−2, an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.82 V and a fill factor (FF) of 70.4%. Approximately 10.9% and 15.7% PCE improvements are obtained compared to J61:Y6 and PffBTT2-DPPT2:Y6 binary PSCs, respectively, as a result of the simultaneous increase of the JSC and the FF of the optimized ternary PSCs. The broad and weak crystallinity peak and high crystallization temperatures of the optimized ternary photoactive layer are beneficial for better thermal stability. After a thermal annealing treatment of optimized ternary PSCs at 80 °C for 20 hours, 79% of the initial PCE was observed compared with only 72% and 70% of the initial PCE for J61:Y6 and PffBTT2-DPPT2:Y6 binary PSCs, respectively, under the same thermal stress conditions.


This dissertation investigates how emerging bilingual students make sense of natural phenomena through engaging in certain epistemic practices of science, and the elements of the learning environment that created those opportunities. Specifically, the dissertation focuses on how emerging bilingual students problematized electrical phenomena, like electric flow and electrical resistance, and how the design features of the environment (e.g., sequencing of activities, linguistic practices) may have supported students as they made sense of phenomena. The first study describes how for students presented and evaluated mechanistic models of electric flow, focusing specifically on how students identified and negotiated a disagreement between their explanatory models. The results from this study highlight the complexity of students' disagreements, not only because of the epistemological aspects related to presenting and evaluating knowledge, but also due to interpersonal dynamics and the discomfort associated with disagreeing with another person. The second study focuses on the design features of the learning environment that supported emerging bilingual students' investigations of electrical phenomena. The findings from this study highlight how a carefully designed set of activities, with the appropriate material resources (e.g., experimental tools), could support students to problematize electrical resistance. The third study describes how emerging bilingual students engaged in translanguaging practices and the contextual features of the learning environment that created and hindered opportunities for translanguaging. The findings from this study identify and articulate how emerging bilingual students engaged in translanguaging practices when iv problematizing electrical resistance, and strengthen the perspective that, in order to be equitable for emerging bilingual students, science learning environments need to act as translanguaging spaces. This dissertation makes three contributions to how science educators understand how elementary-aged emerging bilingual students learning science. First, I offer a detailed account of how emerging bilingual students engaged in epistemic practices to problematize electrical phenomena. Secondly, I argue learning environments need to create opportunities for emerging bilingual students to engage in productive epistemic work through leveraging multiple kinds of resources from their semiotic repertoires. Finally, this dissertation contributes to our understanding of how emerging bilingual students engage in translanguaging practices as they investigate and talk about the natural world.

Metamaterials are composed of very strongly scattering subwavelength objects. Hence, metamaterial scatterers in engineered subwavelength configurations can give rise to interesting magnetic analogons of plasmonic antennas, plasmon hybridization, extraordinary transmission, etcetera. In this paper we discuss new insights in such phenomena obtained from a new fully electrodynamic theory for magneto-electric point scatterers. This theory generalizes all common magneto-static circuit models for metamaterials by adding retardation, interference and energy conservation. Uniquely, our theory provides quantitative cross sections, resonance linewidths, and reflection and transmission coefficients for arbitrary clusters of objects like split rings. We confirm these quantitative predictions in scattering experiments, and predict important fundamental constraints.

Using the data of heavy fog at 17 stations in Shaanxi provience from 1970 to 2000, the climatic and regional characteristics of heavy fog are analyzed. There are three high and low frequeucy centers of mean fog days in Shaanxi provience from north to south. They are: Yijun\_Luochuan, Shiquan\_Hanzhong and Xi′an, along the ancient Great Wall in northern part of Shaanxi, and the east and west- enter (exit) regions in Guanzhong plain, respectively. Although the heavy fog can form in each month of a year, the occurring frequency of heavy fog in autumn and winter (September~December) is the most, and that of February and June is the least. The mean foggy days of Yijun, Shiquan and Xi′an exist obvious interannual change, about quasi-period of 6, 8 years. The variations of 30-year fog days in Xi′an and Xianyang is opposite, it is decreasing in Xi′an, increasing in Xianyang.


The objectives of this research were to isolate bacteriophages from milk samples, whey and Coalho cheese and to evaluate the resistance of strains of Lactobacillus paracasei from the Collection of Microorganisms of Interest for the Tropical Agroindustry, belonging to Embrapa Tropical Agroindustry, to isolate phages. The strains resistance to specific L. paracasei phages from the collection of the Instituto de Lactologia Industrial - INLAIN (Santa Fe, Argentina) was also evaluated. Samples for phage isolation were from four Coalho cheese processing units, two artisanal and two industrial, localized in the state of Ceara. Spot test was employed for bacteriophages isolation, while the culture phage resistance was evaluated by the acid production and turbidity tests. The strains were resistant both to phages isolated from Coalho cheese processing units and phages from collection of INLAIN. The results showed that lactic cultures evaluated here were resistant to bacteriophages and they can be used in the composition of lactic cultures specifically for Coalho cheese manufacture from pasteurized milk.


ABSTRACT Disruptions in neural tube (NT) closure result in neural tube defects (NTDs). To understand the molecular processes required for mammalian NT closure, we investigated the role of Snx3, a sorting nexin gene. Snx3−/− mutant mouse embryos display a fully-penetrant cranial NTD. In vivo, we observed decreased canonical WNT target gene expression in the cranial neural epithelium of the Snx3−/− embryos and a defect in convergent extension of the neural epithelium. Snx3−/− cells show decreased WNT secretion, and live cell imaging reveals aberrant recycling of the WNT ligand-binding protein WLS and mis-trafficking to the lysosome for degradation. The importance of SNX3 in WNT signaling regulation is demonstrated by rescue of NT closure in Snx3−/− embryos with a WNT agonist. The potential for SNX3 to function in human neurulation is revealed by a point mutation identified in an NTD-affected individual that results in functionally impaired SNX3 that does not colocalize with WLS and the degradation of WLS in the lysosome. These data indicate that Snx3 is crucial for NT closure via its role in recycling WLS in order to control levels of WNT signaling. Summary: We address the gap in knowledge regarding neural tube defects by describing a detailed mechanism of how an intracellular trafficking defect results in disrupted development of the mammalian neural tube.


Abstract: To examine the effect of cocaine on the brain histamine neuron system, histamine levels and histamine N‐methyl‐transferase activity in the rat brain were measured after the administration of cocaine. Moreover, we examined the effect of l‐histidine on cocaine‐induced wheel‐running behavior. The administration of cocaine (20 mg/kg) increased histamine levels and histamine N‐methyltransferase activity in the striatum, nucleus accumbens, and amygdala 1 h later. The pretreatment with l‐histidine (350 and 700 mg/kg) inhibited the cocaine (20 mg/kg)‐induced increase of wheel‐running activity in a dose‐dependent manner. These findings suggest that cocaine activates the brain histamine neuron system, which may play the role of inhibiting the cocaine‐induced wheel‐running behavior.


T NHE public library has long been referred to as a "social institution." Josiah P. Quincy,' in a book of essays published in I875, refers to it as such. The I875 report of the federal government2 speaks of " ..... the one secular institution which encourages self-development as an aim." And the term is used today, both in general practice and in relation to the library, in a context only slightly less glib and ill-defined. The basis for this ambiguity is not far to seek. The character of a "social institution" is difficult to ascertain when the name is applied at once to an abstract economic system and a corporeal church, to a subjective code of etiquette and an objective government. Nor are sociologists agreed in their use of the phrase. There are as many definitions of social institutions as there are social scientists, and this difference is not only one of phraseology but actually one of meaning. Social institutions, says Allport,3 an opponent of what he has termed the "group fallacy," are really individual relationships and nothing more. "These habits (which are termed institutions) are plural and discrete .... and therefore devoid of the synthesis or unity implied by a single term such as an 'institution.'" This is an atomistic view, psychologic rather than sociologic, reducing institutions to the unit of which they are composed, and denying scientific validity to any abstractioh of a common way from their multitudinous manifestations.

FIELD: heating. SUBSTANCE: specimens of different types are prepared and arranged in an extraction container that is arranged in the reactor core. Three specimen irradiation zones are formed as to the container height. Lower and upper specimen irradiation zones are formed in the area of maximum gradient of neutron flow intensity and damaging irradiation doses as to height of the reactor core. Temperature of specimens of lower and middle zones is built with the specified heat carrier flow. Temperature of specimens of the upper zone is built due to their heating at irradiation in static heat carrier medium in a sealed ampoule heat insulated from flowing heat carrier. The middle zone includes several groups of identical specimens, which are arranged in pairs as to height of the extraction container. After the specimens are irradiated, the extraction container with specimens is extracted from the reactor core. Measurements, tests and investigations of properties of the irradiated specimens are performed and relationships between mechanical, physical properties and radiation stability of the investigated materials and temperature and irradiation dose are established. EFFECT: increasing scope and reliability of information as per properties of irradiated specimens. 9 cl, 2 dwg


The deformation of an elastic rod under the unilateral constraint of a cylinder was discussed as a simplified model of the coiling process of an element of extendable space mast in astronautic technique. The process from a straight rod to a helical rod,at last to connected planar rings is a spatial large deforma- tion of the rod.Therefore the hypothesis of small deformation cannot be applied in analysis.Considering the existence of constraint force,the Kirchhoff equations of a rod without distributed force cannot be ap- plied too.The nonlinear differential equations of equilibrium of a rod constrained by a cylinder were estab- lished with Euler angles as attitude variables of the cross section.Some first integrals were applied to de- termine the internal forces and torques.Assume that the coiling process is slowly and the inertial effects are neglected.Consequently the helical configuration with continuously variable parameters can be treated as the quasi-equilibrium state in the coiling process.The necessary axial compressive force and torque in the coiling process were derived as the functions of the pitching angle of helix.The stability of the helical rod in coiling process was analyzed in first approximation.It is shown that the stability conditions cannot be satisfied when the rod has hinged constraints on both ends and the relative twist is restricted to zero. The stable helical equilibrium in whole coiling process can be realized only when the relative twist of the rod is admissible by the constraints.The necessary compressive force and torque to ensure the stability of coiling process were suggested.


Objective: This piece of work aims to determine the antagonistic potential of Aspergillus melleus MP3 fungi from marine sponge. Methods: Marine sponge extract was used to isolate fungi on selective medium and molecular identification was performed using ITS sequencing. Fungal mycelium was extracted with solvents of varying polarity and their antibacterial activity was checked against various human pathogenic bacteria using the agar disk diffusion method. Ethyl acetate extracts showed promising results. The bioactive metabolites were purified on TLC and analysed using GC-MS. The mechanism of action of bioactive metabolite was found by estimating the amount of protein present in four potent human pathogens. The proteins were visualised by SDS-PAGE to identify the molecular weight. The cytotoxic ability of the fungi was assessed by MTT assay on HEP2 carcinoma cell line. Structure of the metabolites were analysed using XRD and 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Result: Molecular data revealed the identity of the fungi as Aspergillus melleus MP3 and novelty of the sequence lead to its deposition in GENBANK with Accession number HQ 449678.3. Varying concentrations of the fungal filtrate was analysed to identify IC50 . The IC50 0f the Aspergillus melleus MP3 extract on HEP2 cell line was found to be 6.25 µg. The appearance of a multiple band on SDS-PAGE further suggests the proteins to be multimeric. Conclusion: The present study of screening bioactive secondary metabolites revealed that Aspergillus terreus as a source for the production of three effective metabolites.

An X-ray single-crystal structure determination shows that the complex contains a novel 1-ferra-2,4-diphosphabicyclo[1.1.1]pentane ring system


The non-orthogonal encoding in MIMO communication cause fading in OFDM Channel which further increase the BER. For Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, this work develops a new Quasi Space-time block codes (STBC) Encoder of while maintain full rate in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication. This work shows that not only the Alamouti-scheme which was useful only for STBC for two transmit antennas but with four transmit antenna we can also archive optionality with full rate of communication. This work is carried out on 4x4 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) framework and use encoder having 12 full orthogonal sets outs of total 16 possible combination of fading matrix. Non-Linear distortions due to High power amplifiers (HPA) at transmitters of MIMO communication system are one of the major causes of Low SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), Proposed STBC encoder fading matrix also kept the input signals symbols linear with output signal symbols. This work is carried out on MATLAB-2018b EDA device and tried on something very similar with different commotion channels conditions.

Vehicular Ad hoc Network can ease our life by making driving safe in near future. To make it successful efficient routing protocols need to be used for communication among vehicles. This communication can be direct within vehicles and can be through road side units (RSUs). In this paper we are exploiting the AODV, DSR and DSDV routing protocols by comparing their performances with respect to throughput and number of packets dropped during communication. We are using IEEE 802.11p as a standard protocol for Vehicular Ad hoc Network with 5.9 GHz band.


Effects of anionic surfactant dodecyl sulfate(K12),nonionic surfactant alkyl polyglycoside(APG) and amphoteric surfactant betaine on the performance of protease JP-1 applied in the raw hide soaking process of leather manufacture plant were examined.Results showed that anionic surfactant is more suitable than nonionic and amphoteric surfactant to be used in the raw hide soaking process.K12 incorporated with protease JP-1,performs a good action on removal of protein in the raw hide and thus can shorten the soaking time significantly,enhance the function of the soaking.The optimum soaking result can be achieved when the concentration of K12 is 2.5 g/L,which is to be used incorporated with protease JP-1.


Core-satellite graphs Θ(c, s, η) ∼= Kc ▽ (ηKs) are graphs consisting of a central clique Kc (the core) and η copies of Ks (the satellites) meeting in a common clique. They belong to the class of graphs of diameter two. Agave graphs Θ(2, 1, η) ∼= K2 ▽ (ηK1) belong to the general class of complete split graphs, where the graphs consist of a central clique K2 and η copies of K1 which are connected to all the nodes of the clique. They are the subclass of Core-satellite graphs. Let μ(G) be the spectral radius of the signless Laplacian matrix Q(G). In this paper, we have obtained the greatest lower bound and the least upper bound of signless Laplacian spectral radius of Agave graphs. These bounds have been expressed in terms of graph invariants like m the number of edges, n the number of vertices, δ the minimum degree, ∆ the maximum degree, and η copies of the satellite. We have made use of the approximation technique to derive these bounds. This unique approach can be utilized to determine the bounds for the signless Laplacian spectral radius of any general family of graphs. We have also obtained Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality using the derived bounds.


This paper reports the new compositions of oxide thin films with very low electrical resistivity. We have found that some of the high-entropy alloy oxide thin films which still had very low electrical resistivity. In this study, we deposited the thin films of TixFeCoNi (x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1), TiFeCoNiCux (x=1, 2 and 3), and AlxCrFeCoNiCu (x=0.5 and 1) by PVD, all the targets were prepared by arc-melting under Ar atmosphere. The microstructures of the specimens were examined by SEM and TEM; the electrical resistivities of the specimens were measured by fourpoint probe equipment. Results indicated the microstructures of the as-deposited alloy thin films were amorphous. All of the thin films were oxidized and became to semiconductors after annealed by vacuum furnace, also their microstructures transformed to nanocrystalline FCC microstructures. The electrical resistivities of these high entropy alloy oxides were about 30 -cm for the TixFeCoNi oxide thin films, about 100 -cm for the TiFeCoNiCu3 oxide thin film and about 650 -cm for the Al0.5CrFeCoNiCu oxide thin film. That is, we found the new compositions of oxides with very low electrical resistivity. This is the most important result of this study, and it could also be very important contribution to the electrical ceramics. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This letter introduces a deep learning (DL) framework for the classification of multiple signals in direction finding (DF) scenario via sensor arrays. Previous works in DL context mostly consider a single or two target scenario, which is a strong limitation in practice. Hence, in this letter, we propose a DL framework called DeepMUSIC for multiple signal classification. We design multiple deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), each of which is dedicated to a subregion of the angular spectrum. Each CNN learns the MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) spectra of the corresponding angular subregion. Hence, it constructs a nonlinear relationship between the received sensor data and the angular spectrum. We have shown, through simulations, that the proposed DeepMUSIC framework has superior estimation accuracy and exhibits less computational complexity in comparison with both DL- and non-DL-based techniques.


Remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton is a critical early step in skeletal muscle differentiation. Smooth muscle α-actin (SMA) is one of the earliest markers of myoblast differentiation and is important for the migration and cell shape changes that precede fusion. We have found that satellite cell-derived primary myoblasts from mice lacking the Barx2 homeobox gene show altered patterns of actin remodeling, reduced cell migration, and delayed differentiation. Consistent with the role of SMA in these processes, Barx2–/– myoblasts also show reduced expression of SMA mRNA and protein. The proximal SMA promoter contains binding sites for muscle regulatory factors and serum response factor as well as a conserved homeodomain binding site (HBS). We found that Barx2 binds to the HBS element and potentiates up-regulation of SMA promoter activity by MyoD. We also show that Barx2, MyoD, and serum response factor simultaneously occupy the SMA promoter in cells and that Barx2 interacts with MyoD. Overall these data indicate that Barx2 cooperates with other muscle-expressed transcription factors to regulate the early cytoskeletal remodeling events that underlie efficient myoblast differentiation.


In order to control the growth of ZnO nanowires effectively,the authors have fabricated ZnO nanowires by thermal evaporation under the condition of electric field.The ZnO nanowires,nanocombs and nanowimbles which grow along one direction have been fabricated by introducing an electric field in(deposit) area.The effect of electric field on the growth of ZnO nanowires has been studied by scanning electric microscope(SEM),energy disperse X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) attached to SEM,transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and x-ray diffraction spectrometer (XRD).Compared with that systesized without electric field,the growth mode of ZnO nanowire changes from(radiate) growth to growth along one direction,and it's average diameter is about 70 nm,it's length is about 12 um.The results indicate that the electric field can control the growth of semiconductor nanowire effectively,and the nanowires become more directional.The positive effect of the electric field on the growth of the nanowires has also been proved.


The abundance of the worldwide resources of natural gas and its qualities as a "clean" fuel make it a major energy option for the future. However, the increasing distance of resources in relation to the major consuming zones should bring about a considerable development of international gas trade and also a very substantial rise in the cost of future supplies to major markets. Will these markets accept a new scale of value for natural gas in relation to other fossil fuels in order to ensure the economic viability of the formidable investments required in the coming decades is the most critical question of the gas industry, among many other technical, economic and political issues.


Phenelzine is an antidepressant drug known to increase the risk of hypertensive crisis when dietary tyramine is not restricted. However, this MAO inhibitor inhibits other enzymes not limited to the nervous system. Here we investigated if its antiadipogenic and antilipogenic effects in cultured adipocytes could contribute to decreased body fat in vivo, without unwanted hypertensive or cardiovascular effects.

The world is currently facing a pandemic caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) with a significant impact in Brazil as well. The document "Manual on Biosafety for School Reopening in the Context of COVID-19" was released on July 24, 2020, by the Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health (EPSJV/Fiocruz), providing suggestions for norms and guidelines for the resumption of classes. Among the suggested measures are: the allocation of isolation areas for suspected cases of COVID-19; installation of dispensers with 70% alcohol gel and temperature screening at entrances, circulation areas, and classrooms. Therefore, it is important to produce 70% alcohol gel dispensers and body temperature monitors. The opportunity at hand is to propose an action that simultaneously: 1. Raises awareness among students in the municipal schools of Naviraí city about the issues surrounding COVID-19, as well as its main preventive measures. 2. Empowers these students with some tools from the MAKER culture, such as Arduino, 3D modeling and printing, and programming. 3. With the objective of providing workshops for the production of Totem dispensers with integrated body temperature readers, targeting young people in the municipal education network.


Challenges for modeling and simulating active and passive 130 nm CMOS devices at mm-wave frequencies (>30 GHz) are discussed. Small-signal lumped circuits with appropriate parasitic elements are used to model the active transistor devices with excellent broadband accuracy. Passive element transmission lines are discussed as generic scalable reactive elements suitable for forming resonant circuits with intrinsic transistor capacitance. The trade-offs between physical and electrical circuit models for the transmission lines are presented. Our approach demonstrates that relatively simple models can be used to accurately predict the small-signal performance of CMOS active and passive devices from DC up to mm-wave frequencies.


Zhang Ailing was not a pure literature writer in the 1940s,who often delivered some criticism on political reality from the perspective of daily life. In the specific historical context,she still tried to separate the political party from the nation,with the individualism expression via a standpoint beyond party politics and national politics. From this dimension,the liberal political consciousness and literature ideal was exhibited in Zhang Ailing's thoughts.


Computer systems performance and affordability is limited by energy and power consumption. We must understand energy and power consumption of computer systems in order to propose solutions that mitigate the energy-related limitations. Understanding the energy consumption of computer systems is difficult because of their complexity. Therefore, systematic energy characterization methodologies are required to easily understand energy-related issues on today's complex computer systems. In this thesis, we develop various systematic energy characterization methods in conjunction with the software frameworks required to implement them. The scientific contributions of this thesis are: - A systematic method for producing counter-based power models. Counter-based power models are a common approach to predict power consumption of computer systems. We advance in the state of the art of counter-based power modeling proposing a methodology that produce more responsive, informative and robust power models, while keeping their affordability and accuracy. - An energy accounting method on shared virtualized systems using counter-based power models. We propose a method to perform per-virtual machine energy accounting. This method provides a new form of accountability to cloud providers. - Systematic Instruction-wise power/performance profile generation method. We present a technique to generate instruction-wise energy profiles, which are beneficial in a wide set of situations. For instance, being able to know which instructions are more power-hungry and which ones are more energy-efficient can: (a)~drive the focus of the processor design teams; (b)~impact the instruction selection algorithms of compilers or; (c)~be used to guide the generation of energy-related stressmarks. - Systematic Maximum power stressmark generation method. Maximum power stressmarks are required during the design of processors in order to guide different design decisions such as the design of the package and the power delivery network. We present a novel method, based on the instruction-wise power profile, to generate maximum power stressmarks without the need of performing the sub-optimal searches based on genetic algorithms performed in previous art. The software contributions of this thesis are: - Microprobe: a microbenchmark generation framework. Microprobe is a microbenchmark generation framework that includes detailed micro-architecture definitions that enable the generation of microbenchmarks with specific micro-architecture behavior. It permits the systematic generation of the training set required for our counter-based power models as well as the systematic generation of the per-instruction energy profiles and maximum power stressmarks. - Potra: a model generation framework. We developed POTRA (POwer TRace Analyser) for allowing the generation and evaluation of the different power modeling methods present throughout this thesis. - LibBGQT: Blue Gene/Q tracing library. LibBGQT is an automatic fine-grained power and performance tracing library for IBM Blue Gene platforms. Using this library, we performed detailed application-level characterizations that not only help to fine-tune application code, but it also permitted the detection of optimization opportunities for improving next generation systems. All to all, this thesis contributes to the state of the art in systematic energy characterization methodologies. It presents sound evaluations of them in different contexts such as different processors and power/performance settings. Moreover, this thesis also contributes with valuable software tool-sets that can be used and extended to perform further research.


Chemical-looping technology is one of the promising CO 2 capture technologies. It generates a CO 2 enriched flue gas, which will greatly benefit CO 2 capture, utilization or sequestration. Both chemical-looping combustion (CLC) and chemical-looping gasification (CLG) have the potential to be used to generate power, chemicals, and liquid fuels. Chemical-looping is an oxygen transporting process using oxygen carriers. Recently, attention has focused on solid fuels such as coal. Coal chemical-looping reactions are more complicated than gaseous fuels due to coal properties (like mineral matter) and the complex reaction pathways involving solid fuels. The mineral matter/ash and sulfur in coal may affect the activity of oxygen carriers. Oxygen carriers are the key issue in chemical-looping processes. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has been widely used for the development of oxygen carriers (e.g., oxide reactivity). Two proposed processes for the CLC of solid fuels are in-situ Gasification Chemical-Looping Combustion (iG-CLC) and Chemical-Looping with Oxygen Uncoupling (CLOU). The objectives of this review are to discuss various chemical-looping processes with coal, summarize TGA applications in oxygen carrier development, and outline the major challenges associated with coal chemical-looping in iG-CLC and CLOU.

Continuously welded rails are a common remedy to prevent rail defects, including railhead batter, rail cracking or breakage, and lateral displacement of track, among others. However, at curves with a radius of less than 400 m, rail welding is practically impossible due to the lack of track lateral resistance. Therefore, finding a new method to increase the track lateral resistance is necessary to facilitate rail welding, especially on tracks with steel sleepers. This study proposes a new method of increasing the lateral resistance of a ballasted track with steel sleepers by using web stiffeners. The effect of such stiffeners is investigated through a comparison with tracks having regular steel sleepers. The single tie (sleeper) push test is used in this research. The results of the experimental investigations show that the lateral resistance increases by 24, 140, and 203 percent, respectively, with the use of one, two, and three web stiffeners under the steel sleeper compared with a steel sleeper without stiffeners. Thus, the use of two stiffeners is concluded to provide enough lateral resistance in the case of older tracks. Therefore, the welding of rails at tight curves becomes conceivable.

Precise knowledge of the frequency dependent electromagnetic soil properties is urgently necessary for successful utilization of high frequency electromagnetic (HF-EM) soil moisture measurement techniques. Thus, there is a need of systematic investigations by dielectric spectroscopy of unsaturated and saturated soils under controlled hydraulic conditions. In this context, two-port rod based transmission lines (R-TMLs) were characterized in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 10 GHz by combined theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigations. The propagation characteristics and sensitivity of the R-TMLs were determined by numerical calculations and measurements on standard materials as well as nearly saturated and unsaturated soils.


Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems and lane keeping (LK) systems are two automated driver support systems that serve as convenience systems by changing the role of the driver from a controller to an automation supervisor. These higher levels of automation might impair drivers' performance when the automated systems fail. This study examined how drivers' performance differed when an automated system fails in two different levels of automation; with only LK engaged (lower level automation) and with both ACC and LK engaged (higher level automation). Drivers' performance in conjunction with automated driving was compared in different road conditions (i.e., straight lane, curve lane, and in traffic). In addition, it was expected that drivers' characteristics and attitudes towards automation, such as their automation complacency, interpersonal trust, acceptance of the LK, and trust of the LK would also influence driving performance. Results showed that participants had significantly longer response times to a system failure with a higher level of automation than with a lower level of automation. The higher level automation also led to significantly larger maximum lane deviation when a system failed. In addition, participants with higher level of interpersonal trust had significantly larger maximum lane deviation than participants with lower level of interpersonal trust. Thus, these results suggest that failures of higher levels of automation may lead to poorer driving performance during the detection and recovery from the failure and drivers' level of interpersonal trust affects their detection and recovery from system failures.


Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) are a set of quality attributes that software must have, such as security, reliability, and performance. Extracting NFR from software requirement specifications can help developers deliver quality software that meets users' expectations. However, since functional and non-functional requirements are mixed in the same SRS, it requires a lot of human effort to distinguish them. While many studies have proposed English language requirements extracting techniques, there is a lack of research in Arabic requirements extracting, as well as a lack of publicly available Arabic datasets in this field. In this study, we propose an automatic NFR extraction method for quality software development by combining machine learning and feature extraction techniques. Also, we will collect an Arabic dataset for requirements. This study aims to help software engineers save time, reduce costs and effort in the manual extraction process, and make the requirements engineering phase more efficient. Additionally, it provides new research areas in this field.


Gohberg, I. and M.A. Kaashoek, Asymptotic formulas of Szego-Kac-Achiezer type, Asymptotic Analysis 5 (1992) 187-220. A generalization of Szego's first limit theorem is deduced for a general class of block Toeplitz operators with Hilbert -Schmidt entries. Analogous formulas for Wiener-Hopf integral operators are derived, and by discretization a direct connection between the two types of asymptotics is established. For the continuous case the results are specified further for operators with a rational matrix symbol.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
Poor back endurance is a predictor of low back pain. Few studies have investigated back muscle fatigue in older people. The purpose of this study was to compare the back muscle fatigue by endurance time and perceived effort between young and older adults during dynamic exercise.

METHOD
Sixteen older and 16 young adults, all healthy, participated in this study. The subjects performed a fatiguing trunk extension-flexion exercise on a Roman chair until exhaustion. Endurance time and perceived muscle fatigue (Borg CR-10 scale) were used as fatigue criteria.

RESULTS
The older adults were significantly (T_{(30)} = -2,073; p = 0.039) more resistant to back muscle fatigue (time in mean 133 ± 52 s) than the young adults (mean 97 ± 27 s). In general, both groups had the same perception of high-level fatigue during the exercise bout (T_{(29)} = 1.73; p=0.092).

CONCLUSION
The older adults presented better back endurance than young adults during a dynamic trunk extension exercise. These results have implications for back endurance in the primary prevention of low back pain in both young and older adults.


Surely we can take a cue from the effectiveness of the fire alarm system and develop a bell system for coping with other genuine emergencies that might require speedy action. Many schools already have a bell system for calling the custodian or one of the administrators to the office. Why not have a similar system for calling class monitors to the office to pick up printed messages to be read to each class?

Shigella spp. is the most frequent micro-biological isolation in bacterial diarrhea in Argentina. It causes a watery diarrhea or dysenteric disease. It rarely causes extraintestinal problems. It has an incidence of bacteremia of 0,4-7,3%, and its appearance compels us to look for associated risk factors, as children under one year of age and immunodeficiency, among others. We describe two children with Shigella flexneri bacteremia. They presented with fever and diarrhea. One of them had primary immune deficiency.

Patterns in increment widths and the associated measurement error were studied in the otoliths of radiated shanny (Ulvaria subbifurcata) larvae sampled from the field. Mean increment widths increased with larval age, whereas the relative measurement error decreased. Furthermore, the level of serial correlation in increment widths showed a clear increase with age. When measurement error was taken into consideration, the pattern of serial correlation indicates that an individual's growth increments did not show the effect of changes in local environmental conditions for at least 3 days, independent of age. Only after that period can we hope to detect the effect of environmental influences on increment widths (and by inference growth rates). The patterns of measurement error and serial correlation will have direct impacts on our ability to find the influence of environmental conditions on growth rates of individual larvae and determine patterns of selective loss in a population of larval fish.

ACCELERATED economic development along with social justice has been the prime concern of the Government of India since Independence. But after the 1967 generalelections.-and its dramatic aftermath, the 1969 split in the Congress Party-a major reordering of priorities in this policy was clear1y discernible. Henceforth the attainment of economic and social justice became the predominant concern of the government. It became more than ever before alive to the fact that the weaker sections of the society had not had their due share of the fruits of economic development and that the vested interests were responsible for this deprivation. Soon a spate of radical policy declarations, and legislations to give effect to them, followed. The government also embarked on an intensive publicity campaign asserting its commitment to socialism and its determination to grapple with the problems of inequality, deprivation and poverty prevailing in Indian society through radical measures. These steps signified a marked departure from the policies of moderation pursued by the government since Independence which envisaged the introduction of socialism only by stages and looked down upon any revolutionary measure to attain this goal with distaste.


In the reversed field pinch (RFP), magnetic field perturbations having zero poloidal mode number and any toroidal mode number are resonant at the field reversal surface. Such perturbations are a particular threat to the RFP because of their weak radial dependence at low toroidal mode number, and because the toroidal field ripple is essentially of this type. The widths of the resulting islands are calculated in this paper. The self‐consistent plasma response is included through the assumption that the plasma relaxes to a Taylor force‐free state. The connection with linear tearing mode theory is established for those limits where arbitrarily large islands result from infinitesimal perturbations. Toroidal effects are considered, and application of the theory to RFP experiments is discussed.

Man-made radiation exposure to the Cuban population predominantly results from the medical use of ionizing radiation. It was therefore the aim of the present study, to provide public health information concerning diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures carried out in Camagüey and Ciego de Ávila provinces between 2000 and 2005. Population radiation dose estimation due to administration of radiopharmaceuticals in Camagüey and Ciego de Ávila provinces was carried out using Medical Internal Radiation Dose scheme (MIRD). Data were gathered on the type of radiopharmaceuticals used, the administered activity, the numbers of each kind of examination, and the age and sex of the patients involved during the period 2000 – 2005. The average annual frequency of examinations was estimated to be 3.34 per 1000 population. The results show that imaging nuclear medicine techniques of thyroid and bone explorations with 13.3 and 12.9%, respectively and iodide uptake with 50% are the main techniques implicated in the relative contribution to the total annual effective collective dose which averaged 95 man⋅Sv for the studied period. Radiation risks for the Camagüey-Ciego de Avila population caused by nuclear medicine examinations in the period studied were calculated: the total number of fatal and non-fatal cancers was 34.2 and the number of serious hereditary disturbance was 7.4 as a result of 24139 nuclear medicine procedures, corresponding a total detriment of 1.72 per 1000 examination.


In a distributed system, a common time reference allows each component to associate the same timestamp to events that occur simultaneously. It is a design option with benefits and drawbacks since it simplifies and makes more efficient a number of functions, but requires additional resources and control to keep component clocks synchronized. In this paper, we quantify how much power is spent to implement such a function, which helps to solve the dilemma in a system of low-power sensors. To find widely applicable results, the formal model used in our investigation is agnostic of the communication pattern that components use to synchronize their clocks, and focuses on the scheduling of clock synchronization operations needed to correct clock drift. This model helps us to discover that the dynamic calibration of clock drift significantly reduces power consumption. We derive an optimal algorithm to keep a software defined clock (SDCk) synchronized with the reference, and we find that its effectiveness is strongly influenced by hardware clock quality. To demonstrate the soundness of formal statements, we introduce a proof of concept. For its implementation, we privilege low-cost components and standard protocols, and we use it to find that the power needed to keep a clock within 200 ms from UTC (Universal Time Coordinate) as on the order of 10−5 W . The prototype is fully documented and reproducible.

Investigation of Khuzestan Steel Company's Modified Slag in Removal of Aluminum from Aqueous Solutions: Adsorption Isotherm and Kinetic Studies. Journal of Health Research in Community. Summer 2017;3(2): 75-87. ABSTRACT Introduction and purpose: Two of the most important issues of today's world are water scarcity and water supply pollution with heavy and toxic metals. We aimed to investigate the removal of aluminum ions from aqueous solutions by modified slag of Khuzestan Steel Company. Methods: Steel slag was prepared from Khuzestan Steel Company in Ahvaz, Iran. This laboratory-scale experimental study was carried out to investigate the removal of aluminum from aqueous solutions using modified slag in discontinuous flow system. The studied variables included pH, adsorbent dose, initial concentration of aluminum, and reaction time. The concentration of aluminum ions was quantified using atomic absorption spectrometer. In carrying out this study and the use of resources, ethical issues were observed. Results: The results showed that the adsorption capacity of aluminum on modified steel slag is dependent on parameters such as pH, adsorbent dose, initial concentration of aluminum, and reaction contact time. The optimum efficiency was obtained at pH 4, adsorbent dose of 5 g/L, the initial concentration of20 mg/l, and contact time of 60 min. Aluminum adsorption isotherm of modified slag in Khuzestan Steel Company followed the Langmuir model. The best aluminum adsorption kinetics model in this study was shown to be the pseudosecond-order model. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that modified slag of Khuzestan Steel Company is highly potent in aluminum removal, and it can be utilized as a costeffective adsorbent.

Previously established versions of reaching conditions are briefly reviewed and a new and more general version is given: the discrete reaching law. For this new definition of quasi-sliding mode its stability problem is proved meanwhile the linear switching function is determined.The VSC is obtained straightforward by the reaching law method, which is a general design method applicable both to single input and multiple input cases in a simple way.


Currently, the cell-based biosensors have to be connected to an expensive impedance analyzer in order to obtain the measurement values. In addition, the impedance analyzer is bulky and not easily portable. Therefore, in this work, a low frequency impedance analyzer is designed by generating a low frequency AC signal that is sent to the sensor in order to measure the impedance of a cell. The prototype design is able to detect the presence of water and a cell media. It consists of a biosensor which requires a low frequency AC input signal and the impedance data of the water and cell media is to be measured and displayed using an Arduino system. The design had successfully shown that the prototype is able to detect and differentiate the two different substances based on their resistance and capacitance.


The geochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Chittur block, Palghat, Kerala have been studied to assess the water quality for domestic and irrigational purposes. During pre-monsoon (April- 2010) period 89 groundwater samples were collected from 61 dug wells and 28 bore wells. Chemical analysis of the groundwater shows different ranges for different parameters (pH 6.25-8.29, EC 250- 2400 μS/cm, TDS 160-1536 mg/L, TH 65-945 mg/L, Mg 2+ 3.62-189.46 mg/L, F - 0.02-6.3 mg/L, Cl - 10-672 mg/L, Na + 1-126 mg/L, K + 1-23 mg/L, NO 3 - 1.42-23.15 mg/L, SO 4 2- 5.72-159.62 mg/L and PO 4 3- 0-2.12 mg/L). High fluoride (F - ) concentration is reported from 12% water samples. Piper diagram reveals that 42% of the samples are MgCO 3 type. Irrigational suitability of water is evaluated based on sodium adsorption ratio, residual sodium carbonate, sodium percent, salinity hazard and USSL diagram. Salinity hazards show that 52% of the samples fall in high salinity hazard (C3) and 1% in very high salinity hazard class (C4). The study shows that, groundwater beyond the acceptable limit of EC, TDS, TH, Mg 2+ and F - are not suitable for drinking, and groundwater fall in very high salinity hazard class is not suitable for irrigation.


This study focusses on a novel modelling approach for the crush behaviour of typical core materials in sandwich panels which overcomes the numerical problems inherent in the Element Elimination Technique (EET). In this work the experimental and simulation results for the damage behaviour of the homogenized volume model are presented and discussed in detail. Finally the experimental and numerical crushing behaviour of aramid paper honeycomb (NOMEX) materials are compared along with previous numerical and experimental investigations.


This paper presents fuzzy inference system to control path-tracking type laser guided vehicle (LGV). In most of the industries, many of LGVs are used because of the safety. LGV can make a virtual path because it can calculate its absolute position. LGV also calculates both the error distance (derailment value) from the virtual path and the error angle using the position of LGV. For accurate driving control of LGV, we proposed path-tracking control of a LGV using fuzzy inference system which considered both the error distance and the error angle. To verify the performance of proposed method, we designed and used the simulator for the experiments.

In order to reduce the number of gates in quantum circuit to reduce the error rate running on NISQ device, it is demonstrated that the template satisfies the relevant conditions for mapping to the linear topology structure in the quantum system, and a quantum circuit connectivity constraint mapping optimization method based on template matching is proposed. This method reconstructs the templates by adding SWAP gates or replacing bridge gates to make them meet the connectivity constraints of linear topology. Aiming at the linear subcircuits in quantum circuits that satisfy the connectivity constraints of quantum topological structure, the template matching optimization method is used to replace the gates in the circuit that match the template with a few remaining unmatched gates in the template. Finally, the optimized circuit also satisfies the connectivity constraint of quantum topology. Using a set of NISQ benchmark circuits, compared with the t|ket⟩ compiler, the test results show that the number of CNOT gates can be further reduced by an average of 28.71 %, up to 40 %.


A simple procedure is developed to estimate specific attenuation and differential attenuation at C-band frequencies from the dual polarization radar measurements, reflectivity at horizontal polarization (Z H ), and differential reflectivity (Z DR ). An algorithm is presented to correct C-band reflectivity and differential reflectivity measurements for absolute attenuation and differential attenuation, respectively. The effect of the attenuation correction procedure on the error structure of rainfall estimation is studied by utilizing data collected by the dual polarized C-band radar, POLAR 55C, as well as a network of rain gages over the Arno River basin near Florence, Italy. Radar rainfall estimates are compared over two small basins, one close to the radar, at a distance of 35 km, and the other farther from the radar, at a distance of 65 km, where the effect of attenuation is likely to be more significant. On the basis of a comparative study of radar and rain gage measurements over the two basins it is shown that the attenuation correction improves the radar rainfall estimates based on Z - R algorithms for both basins. The correction procedure improves the radar rainfall estimates based on dual polarization algorithm for the farther basin ; however, the attenuation correction does not improve the radar rainfall estimates based on dual polarization algorithm for the closer basin (when the differential attenuation is not significant).


Objective:To observe the effect of cerclage band in the process of fracture healing applied and provide the basis for clinical application.Methods:30 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided in two groups,the femoral shaft fracture animal model of non-weight-bearing were established,intramedullary fixation were used in control group and experimental group,the cerclage band was added at the fracture site for bundled fixed in the experimental group.In the two groups the gross observation,the bone mineral density,the diameter of callus and histological examination were evaluated and compared at 2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks after operation,in order to understand the effects of cerclage band in fracture fixation and fracture healing.Results:In control group,each one cases of fracture displacement or malunion were found at all observation periods.At 2 weeks,4 weeks,callus rarely appeared in the experimental group relative to the control group.The differences on diameter of callus and the bone mineral density between the control group and the experimental group were not significant(P0.05).At 4 weeks,under the microscope the growth of new trabecular bone in the experimental group were more significantly than that in the control group,the number of osteoblasts was more than that in the control group.The bone mineral density and diameter of callus in the control group were significantly increased than those in the experimental group after 6 weeks(t = 4.243,15.909,P 0.05 ~ 0.01).The callus showed a more mature and begin to transform to lamellar bone,the structure of woven bone and the arrangement of bone trabecula were better in experimental group under the microscope.Conclusion:The cerclage band added at the fracture site can effectively maintain the stability,avoid fracture displacement or deformity healing and protect the normal fracture healing.The abnormal blood supply in the periosteum and the fracture is not found in cerclage band method.


The metal carbonyls [Mn2(CO)10] and [Co2(CO)8] react with the ligand PPh2(SPh) to give respectively the binuclear complex [Mn2(µ-PPh2)(µ-SPh)(CO)8]2 and a combination of trinuclear complexes [Co3(µ3-S)-(µ-PPh2)(CO)7]3, [Co3(µ3-S)(µ-PPh2)(CO)6(PPh3)]4 and [Co3(µ3-S)(µ-PPh2)(CO)5(PPh3)2]5 in a yield ratio which depends on the reaction conditions. Complex 4 reacts thermally with PhCCH which inserts regiospecifically into the phosphido-bridge to generate [Co3(µ3-S)(µ-PPh2CHCPh)(CO)6(PPh3)]6. A similar regiospecific insertion of alkyne to give the complex [Fe2{µ-PPh2CHC(CH2OH)}(µ-SPh)-(CO)6]7 takes place when [Fe2(µ-PPh2)(µ-SPh)(CO)6]1 is treated with HOCH2CCH under photolytic conditions. In contrast neither thermal nor photolytic reactions of 2 with alkynes could be induced. The crystal structures of 2, 4 and 6 have been determined.


Even in the face of high unemployment, we could still see higher prices in the U.S., says Morningstar's Bob Johnson.


Comparative evaluation data for grub control are presented chiefly on Imidan® (O,O -dimethyl S-phthalimidomethyl phosphorodithioate) and crufomate and in 1 test only on fenthion and trichlorfon. These animal systemics were tested on 4852 indigenous cattle in 7 regions of northern California. Of this number, 2909 cattle in 5 regions were available for evaluation of grub control. Grub reduction, following pour-on applications, averaged 98.3, 92, and 96.2% with dosages of Imidan at 26, 20, and 13 mg/kg, respectively, and 95.1% with crufomate at 37 mg/kg. Pour-on applications of Imidan (26 mg/kg) gave 100% grub reduction compared to those of 98% with fenthion (7.5 mg/kg) and 94% with trichlorfon (25 mg/kg). Early season spray applications resulted in mean grub reductions of 96.5 and 97.7% for WP and EC formulations of Imidan, respectively. Grub reductions were 99-100% for Imidan and 99% for crufomate following spray applications in I test herd. In late December, lmidan showed poor or no grub reduction from spray applications, but 99-100% emcacy from pour-on treatments.

The common cattle grub Hypoderma lineatum (de Villers), was more common than the nonhern cattle grub. H. bovis (L..), during evaluation for grub control and was the only species found in 4 of 13 herds examined.

Mild side effects occurred in 22 lmidan-treated calves of 4852 callie tested with various animal systemics. The factor of early seasolt grub treatments was considered important in avoiding a greater incidence of adverse reactions in cattle, since 80% were treated from july through September.

Literacy is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that has been well studied in psychology and pedagogy. Neurophysiologists try to understand the mechanisms of writing and reading acquisition by analyzing different linguistic processes. In this paper, we review the data that were revealed by using the event-related potentials (ERPs) method in the light of spelling, lexical, semantic and syntactic aspects of literacy, as well as changes in the components of ERPs in children and adults during language acquisition and in dyslexia, the most studied reading disorder. The ERPs method can help to understand both the general, universal neural underpinnings of literacy development and the unique features of different languages.


Abstract : Polyethylene disks, 0.55 in. diameter by 0.137 in. thick, were irradiated in air in the ground test reactor to five different gamma-ray dose levels: 2.2 x 10 to the 8th power, 4.72 x 10 to the 8th power, 1.64 x 10 to the 9th power, 4.99 x 10 to the 9th power, and 1.33 x 10 to the 10th power ergs/GM(C) plus the dose imparted by the associated neutron flux. After irradiation, the samples were compressed in a parallel-plate plastometer under constant load of 260 F for a period of five minutes. The thickness and the diameter of the extruded samples were measured at 75 F and found to be correlated with the absorbed gamma ray dose in a manner described by two empirically derived equations. An evaluation of the radiation-induced change in viscosity, of the disks showed that the dose region where departs from linearity is coincident with the most sensitive region of response in the hot- flow characteristics 10 to the 8th power - 1.5 x 10 to the 9th power erg/gm(C) . The results suggest that in this dose region, the described experimental procedure may be usefully employed for dosimetric purposes.

We present a novel approach to test the consistency of the cosmological models with multiband CMB data using a nonparametric approach. In our analysis we calibrate the REACT (Risk Estimation and Adaptation after Coordinate Transformation) confidence levels associated with distances in function space (confidence distances) based on the Monte Carlo simulations in order to test the consistency of an assumed cosmological model with observation. To show the applicability of our algorithm, we confront Planck 2013 temperature data with concordance model of cosmology considering two different Planck spectra combination. In order to have an accurate quantitative statistical measure to compare between the data and the theoretical expectations, we calibrate REACT confidence distances and perform a bias control using many realizations of the data. Our results in this work using Planck 2013 temperature data put the best fit ΛCDM model at 95% (∼ 2σ) confidence distance from the center of the nonparametric confidence set while repeating the analysis excluding the Planck 217 × 217 GHz spectrum data, the best fit ΛCDM model shifts to 70% (∼ 1σ) confidence distance. The most prominent features in the data deviating from the best fit ΛCDM model seems to be at low multipoles 18 < ℓ < 26 at greater than 2σ, ℓ ∼ 750 at ∼1 to 2σ and ℓ ∼ 1800 at greater than 2σ level. Excluding the 217×217 GHz spectrum the feature at ℓ ∼ 1800 becomes substantially less significance at ∼1 to 2σ confidence level. Results of our analysis based on the new approach we propose in this work are in agreement with other analysis done using alternative methods.


Synthesis and characteristics of poly(fluoropentyl methacrylate co vinylimidazole) (FIm),and oxygen binding properties of its complex with meso α,α,α,α tetrakis( o pivalamidophenyl)porphyrinato cobalt(II) (CoP) were studied.FIm was prepared by radical copolymerization of octafluoropentyl methacrylate with 1 vinylimdazole using azobis(isobutyronitrile) as the initiator.The vinylimidazole content and molecular weight of the FIm copolymer were determined to be 25 mol% and 5 0×10 4 by elemental analysis and GPC,respectively.FIm and CoP in solution were mixed to complex the imidazolyl residue of the copolymer with the fifth coordination site of CoP under nitrogen atmosphere to yield both an active and homogenous dispersed CoP for oxygen binding.Oxygen binding to the CoP\|FIm complex was measured spectroscopically with a UV spectrophotometer.The CoP\|FIm complex displayed a reversible change in the visible absorption spectrum from the deoxy form to the oxy or oxygen binding one with an isosbestic point,in response to the partial oxygen pressure of the atmosphere.The oxygen binding equilibrium curves obeyed a Langmuir isotherm,to give the oxygen binding affinity p 50 (oxygen partial pressure at which half of the CoP binds with oxygen).Solvent has great effect on the oxygen binding properties of the complex.The oxygen binding affinity of the CoP\|FIm complex in tetrahydrofuran was larger than that in N,N dimethyl formamide solution.It is assumed that a N,N dimethyl formamide molecule weakly coordinated to the sixth site (oxygen binding site) of CoP to reduce the oxygen binding affinity.On the other hand,the oxygen binding site of the CoP complex could be maintained vacant in tetrahydrofuran before the oxygen binding.The binding and dissociation rate constants of oxygen to and from the CoP ( k on and k off ,respectively) for the CoP FIm solution were large,which indicates a very rapid and reversible oxygen binding by CoP.


The results revealed that the Majority of the farmers were from middle aged group, having education up to primary to secondary, small and marginal land holding size, big family size with nuclear type of family. Majority respondents haunted 3 to 4 milch animals, having membership in one or two organization and income level was up to ` 30,000/-.The results also indicates that the Neighbor, VLWs and magazines were the important resources of information about Krishi Mahotsav. The overall perception of farmers regarding Krishi Mahotsav was found medium to highly useful. The great majority of the farmers opined that time & duration of Krishi Mahotsav was appropriate and the same should be repeated in the coming year, too. Some farmers were opined that critical inputs like pesticide should be supplied during krushi mahotsav. Majority of the farmers had opined that the information given during Krishi Mahotsav about Animal Husbandry and cropping methods of the cotton,pigeonpea and maize were found useful.

Recent research has found that World Trade Center (WTC) responders in their mid‐50s have an elevated prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) that is associated with neural degeneration and subcortical thinning. This article extends our understanding of the molecular complexity of MCI through gene expression profiling of blood.


For enhancing network efficiency, various applications/services like CDN and P2P try to utilize content which have previously been cached somewhere. Content-centric networking (CCN) also utilizes data caching functionality. However, dislike CDN/P2P, CCN implements such a function on network nodes. Then, any intermediated nodes can directly respond to request messages for cached data. Hence, it is essential which content is cached as well as which nodes cache transmitted content. Basically, CCN propose for every nodes on the path from the content publisher of transmitted object to a requester to cache the object. However, such an approach is inefficient considering the utilization of cached objects as well as the storage overhead of each node. Hence, various caching mechanisms are proposed to enhance the storage efficiency of a node. In this paper, we analyze the performance of such mechanisms and compare the characteristics of such mechanisms. Also, we analyze content utilization patterns and apply such pattern to caching mechanisms to analyze the practicalism of the caching mechanisms.


Analysis of the class issue is an approach that would let us best understand the essential aspects of North Korea. The North Korean government's Class policy was well reflected in the living patterns of the people residing in regions above the 38th Parallel, and strongly affected the social structure there. The Proletariat class culture based upon the Communist community composed of the labor class and the poor class was rather quickly popularized, and such culture's presence was felt everywhere, the language, attire, behavioral patterns, and moral structure. Class examination is the best topic that could let us see through the appearances of the obvious, and allow us to understand the fundamental social structure formed upon such hierarchical class order. The objective of this study is to define the nature of the class order of the North Korean society. The Hierarchical class structure in North Korea is sort of an institutionalized, discriminational class order. The structure reveals how the laborers, employed peasants, poor peasants, middle peasants, wealthy peasants, clerks, intelligentsia, hand manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and landlords were all placed in the hierarchy structure, and what kind of roles they received from the state. What kind of opportunities all these entries were allowed by the Labor party, and how many options they had in terms of entering high education facilities, will show us how the class order of North Korea was rendered into a hierarchy structure. And it should also be studied how such hierarchical class structure remains relatively stable even today.


The term "deconstruction," according to one of its champions, Jacques Derrida, is more than merely a method for interpreting texts; it is a mode of political action as well, though it is not "political action" as that term is ordinarily understood. This article explores Derrida's claim that the deconstruction of texts is essentially and emphatically a political act. It reviews the rationale for deconstruction as a way of reading texts and shows why this rationale leads Derrida to claim that deconstruction has political consequences-that it is a new way of constituting "the world." The author goes on to assess what these political consequences actually are.
