Relationship marketing research has traditionally focused on the relationship among customer satisfaction, trust, and customer commitment, while assuming that the causal relationship of customer is well understand. However, recently many scholars argue that customer satisfaction, trust, commitment can not explain long-term orientation fully, and suggest the need for more extensive researches investigating the determinants of long-term relational retention. The purpose of this study was to explained the relationship development process through the mediation effect of contact intensity and relationship termination cost between customer satisfaction and trust, and between trust and commitment, and an analysis the causal relationship among these variables. The results were as follows. First, the customer satisfaction had both direct and indirect effects on trust mediated by contact intensity. Second, the trust had both direct and indirect effects on commitment mediated by relationship termination cost. Third, the commitment influenced long-term orientation. Finally, the empirical results confirmed that the model add to the concept of mediation with contact intensity and relationship termination cost plays a strong, central role in explaining relationship development process between customer and fashion retail stores.


An archaeological assessment of the proposed line of the Inverness Southern Distributor Road led to the excavation of two cropmark sites, the Hilton `pit alignments' and the Glendruidh `timber halls or enclosures'. Neither site was located in excavation. It is concluded that the pit alignment cropmark could be the product of recent agricultural activity, but the cause of the Glendruidh cropmark, and therefore the existence of the timber halls or enclosures, remains uncertain.

Among the very substantial changes to the Canadian charity tax regime announced as part of the March 2004 federal budget were a number of transparency initiatives. These changes have not yet received much attention from charities or charity lawyers, probably because of the more immediate impact of some of the other changes announced, including the introduction of intermediate sanctions, a new tax appeal process, and significant amendments to the disbursement quota spending requirements. Though these changes are certainly important, the changes dealing with accountability and transparency may prove to be just as important in the long term. This article will describe the budget changes, with particular attention to the transparency ones.

Abstract The deepening of a shear-driven turbulent layer penetrating into a stably stratified quiescent layer is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS). The simulation design mimics the classical laboratory experiments by Kato & Phillips (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 37, 1969, pp. 643–655) in that it starts with linear stratification and applies a constant shear stress at the lower boundary, but avoids sidewall and rotation effects inherent in the original experiment. It is found that the layers universally deepen as a function of the square root of time, independent of the initial stratification and the Reynolds number of the simulations, provided that the Reynolds number is large enough. Consistent with this finding, the dimensionless entrainment velocity varies with the bulk Richardson number as $R{i}^{- 1/ 2} $ . In addition, it is observed that all cases evolve in a self-similar fashion. A self-similarity analysis of the conservation equations shows that only a square root growth law is consistent with self-similar behaviour.

Abstract:In an effort to restore Millennials' capacities for self- and political expression, "New Sincerity" fiction writers and commentators urge readers to eschew irony in favor of sincerity. In doing so, however, writers often fall prey to a rhetoric of "responsibilization"—an emphasis on personal decision-making that obscures institutional, economic, and social contexts—and risk reinforcing the very ideologies they mean to contest. This essay interprets a subset of New Sincerity fiction that, through uncharacteristic reflexivity, refuses responsibilization. I demonstrate how two narratives of writer's block—David Foster Wallace's "Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way" (1989) and Sheila Heti's How Should a Person Be? (2010)—deploy metafiction as a method for challenging the epistemic and expressive restrictions imposed by neoliberal subjectivity and creative regimes.


As a prelude to the 2007 Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC), which is also colocated with the Electrical Manufacturing Expo (EME), to be held in Nashville, TN, September 24-27 2007, I would like to revisit the origins of the EIC. The first Electrical Insulation Conference was held in 1958—48 years ago. The origins of the EIC can be traced to the Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP), which started out as the Conference on Electrical Insulation in 1920 and changed its name to the CEIDP in 1966. The CEIDP was originally sponsored by the National Research Council, an organization funded by the US Federal Government, before becoming a conference sponsored by the IEEE DEIS. The CEIDP was the only North American forum exclusively devoted to research developments in the field of electrical insulation. By design, the CEIDP attracted papers of a leading-edge type from industrial researchers and academics. Rarely were the practical aspects of applying and testing insulation dealt with. In fact, according to a series of articles written by John and Patty Tanaka in the Electrical Insulation Magazine (see the July 1997, November 1991, January 1984 and September 1983 issues), practical papers and any associated commercial activity were frowned upon by the CEIDP organizers. As a result, some key individuals that were attendees at the CEIDP in 1956 got together and planned the first EIC. These included Bill Bentley, Walter Hugger, Scott Hurley, and Ken Mathes. The folks who made electrical insulation materials wanted a forum to promote their new products (recall this was a time when there were many advances in synthetic electrical insulation materials). But, at the same time, they realized that many prospective purchasers of electrical insulation products and services would not be able to come to a trade show without having a technical conference to also participate in. Thus the two key features of the EIC were incorporated into the first EIC: a technical program composed of 'practical' papers on electrical insulation and a trade show exhibiting new materials, processing and test methods. The first EIC Conference, held in Cleveland, OH, in 1958, was very successful; 155 technical papers were presented and there were 1100 attendees. The conference was sponsored by the AIEE (a forerunner of the IEEE). Apparently by the time of the second EIC, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) had become involved as a cosponsor. Since those early days, the basic thrust of the EIC remains unchanged. It is still a conference and exhibition devoted to all aspects of electrical insulation run by volunteers from two nonprofit organizations (IEEE and NEMA). Any surplus created by the conference is channeled into supporting the standards development efforts of NEMA, as well as the publication activities and student fellowships of the IEEE DEIS. Of course, the EIC has morphed into a much larger event when it combined with what is now the Electrical Manufacturing Expo in 1975, an event sponsored by the Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Association. Well that's enough for history. In looking forward to the 2007 EIC/EME, we still need volunteers.

This study aimed at obtaining deeper information about behavior setting and social interaction of individuals at Buginese society in Soppeng District based on Pangadereng values. The research type was a qualitative using constructivism approach, that is comprehending the process of meaning and effect of the observed object.The researchers collected data through observation, documentation, and acted as the instruments as well. The data concerned about behavior setting and social interaction of the society which were obtained through two sources, documentation and informants. The technique of data collection were carried through indepth interview. Further analyzed using interactive analysis technique which was intended to observe the process, meaning, and effect resulted by the object. The findings showed that the behavior setting and social interaction of individuals was obviosuly based on pangadereng values. It can be seen through its relation in behavior setting of the society, its function in the social interaction, and its role as a symbol of cultural wisdom in the society. Those were related with each action in the society which also based on customary institution. It functioned as an ethical system, a moral system, and the main value that became a reference in various aspects of life in the society. Moreover, its role as a symbolic element to define which behavior should be decently implemented and avoided.


A method for reducing the amount of a soluble polymer fraction of the polymer in sulfonyl fluoride points. The method comprises contacting the sulfonyl fluoride polymer in contact with a fluorinated fluid, followed by separation of the polymer with the fluid. The fluorinated fluid is selected from a hydrofluoroether and hydrofluorocarbon polyethers. The present invention further relates to sulfonyl fluoride polymers, these polymers having a heat of fusion and is obtainable by the method of not more than 4J / g, and containing less than 15% by weight polymer fractions, fractions of these polymers having an average content of monomer units containing a sulfonyl functional group is more than 24 mol%. Sulfonyl fluoride polymer thus obtained is particularly suitable for preparing ionomer membrane used in the electrochemical device used.


We show under what conditions an accelerated detector (e.g., an atom/ion/molecule) thermalizes while interacting with the vacuum state of a quantum field in a setup where the detector's acceleration alternates sign across multiple optical cavities. We show (non-perturbatively) in what regimes the probe `forgets' that it is traversing cavities and thermalizes to a temperature proportional to its acceleration, the same as it would in free space. Then we analyze in detail how this thermalization relates to the renowned Unruh effect. Finally, we use these results to propose an experimental testbed for the direct detection of the Unruh effect at relatively low probe speeds and accelerations, potentially orders of magnitude below previous proposals.


Fine root turnover plays an important role in below-ground carbon budget and affects the nutrient cycling in the terrestrial ecosystem.The vertical distribution characteristic of fine root biomass,specific root length(SRL),root lengthy density(RLD) and root surface area of artificial Pinus tabulaeformis and natural Betula platyphylla forests,and their relationship with soil moisture,bulk density,nitrogen and content of organic matter in Ziwuling of Loess Plateau were studied.The results indicated that vertical distribution of artifical Pinus tabulaeformis and natural Betula platyphylla forests showed different trends: fine root biomass of artifical Pinus tabulaeformis forests showed a single hump-shaped curve with soil depth increased,but fine root biomass of Betula platyphylla forests decreased with soil depth increased.Fine root biomass of Pinus tabulaeformis mostly distributed in the soil layer(040 cm),among which 37% of fine root biomass was distributed in the upper soil layer(0-20 cm),and 41% of fine root biomass was distributed in the soil layer(20-40 cm);root surface area,SRL and RLD of artificial Pinus tabulaeformis in the upper soil layer(0-20 cm) were greater than these in the lower two layers(20-40 cm,40-60 cm).Root surface area,SRL and RLD in the deep layer(40-60 cm) were the lowest compared to the upper two soil layers(0-20 cm and 20-40 cm).Total soil nitrogen and content of organic matter of Pinus tabulaeformis forests among different soil layer decreased with soil depths increased.Nitrate(NO-3N) showed a single hump-shaped curve with soil depth increased,but ammonia(NH+4-N) showed a parabola curve,with lowest value found in 20-40 cm soil layer and highest value in 0-20 cm and 40-60 cm soil layer.75% of fine root biomass of Betula platyphylla was distributed in the upper soil layer(0-20 cm),vertical changes of root surface area,SRL and RLD of Betula platyphylla forests showed a similar trend regardless soil depths with artificial Pinus tabulaeformis forest.Root surface area of Betula platyphylla in upper soil depth(0-20 cm) was 3.91 times higher than that of artifical Pinus tabulaeformis,but root surface area of Betula platyphylla in the soil layer(20-40 cm) was 33% lower than that of artifical Pinus tabulaeformis.Vertical changes of total soil nitrogen,content of organic matter, NO-3-N and NH+4-N of Betula platyphylla among different layers presented a similar trend with artificial Pinus tabulaeformis forest.Distribution characteristics of fine root of artificial Pinus tabulaeformis and Betula platyphylla forests more significantly related to the changes of soil moisture,bulk density,total nitrogen and content of organic matter than ammonia(NH+4N) and nitrate(NO-3-N).The fine root biomass was significantly correlated to the content of organic matter of Betula platyphylla forests in upper soil layer(020 cm).The correlation coefficient of root surface area of Pinus tabulaeformis and Betula platyphylla forests with total soil nitrogen decreased with the soil depth increased(0-40 cm),but the correlation coefficient of SRL and RLD with total soil nitrogen increased with the increasing of soil depth.Fine root biomass,root surface area and RLD increased with the decreasing content of organic matter in soil layer (20-60 cm),but SRL presented a reversed trend.


Effects of sodium selenite and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) on growth performance of ducklings exposed by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) were studied in this paper. 7-day-age ducklings were divided into four groups (30 animals each). The first group was control group. The second group administered intragastrically AFB1 at 0.1 mg/kg body weight. The third group administered intragastrically AFB1 at 0.1 mg/kg,which feeding on a mixed diet added in 2% CHM. The fourth group administered intragastrically AFB1 at 0.1 mg/kg and sodium selenite at 1 mg/kg. All treatments were given 1 time/day during 7 to 28 days age. Significant decrease was observed in the growth and average daily gain of all AFB1 treated ducklings as compared to the control,and significant increase in the mortality and feed conversion ratio (P0.05). A similar significant decrease was observed in the growth and average daily gain of CHM and sodium selenite treated ducklings as compared to the group Ⅱ,and a similar decrease in the mortality and feed conversion ratio was observed in the mortality and feed conversion ratio (P0.05). The results revealed that CHM and sodium selenite could improve growth performance,the efficacy of sodium selenite to reduce AFB1 effect was higher than that of CHM.


Acidic polysaccharide containing D-glucuronic acid, D-galactose, D-mannose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, traces of L-rhamnose and an unidentified saccha ride (JRxyi = 1.3) has been isolated from the plum-tree gum (Prunus domesti ca L. subsp. domestica). Degraded polysaccharide was obtained in addition to D-xylose and D-arabinose on autohydrolysis. The polysaccharide was subjec ted to acid hydrolysis and products obtained were separated by paper chroma tography and identified. Both original and degraded polysaccharide were oxi dized with periodate. The degraded polysaccharide was methylated. Based on the obtained results, the main chain is believed to be composed of oligo saccharides I —III: jff-D-GpA-l-> (6-jff-D-Galp-l)— -ô32->6-D-Gal. The nonreducing end groups are formed by 4-0-methyl-r>-glucuronic acid, L-arabino se, D-xylose and probably L-rhamnose.


Byron said, ?Man's love is of man's life a thing apart; 'Tis woman's whole existence.'? More than one hundred twenty years later, Simone de Beauvoir expresses a similar idea: ?Men have found it possible to be pas sionate lovers at certain times in their lives, but there is not one of them who could be called 'a great lover'; in their most violent transports, they never abdicate completely; even on their knees before a mistress, what they still want is to take possession of her; at the very heart of their lives they re main sovereign subjects .. . For woman, on the contrary, to love is to relin quish everything for the benefit of a master.?1 In the four novels she has written to date Ramona, ad?u (Ramona, adi?s), El temps de cireres (Tiempo de cerezas), L 'hora violeta (La hora violeta), and L'op?ra quotidiana (La ?pera cotidiana), Monteserrat Roig gives fictional shape to the same premise Byron cast in poetry and Beauvoir elucidated in her seminal work on women.2 For Roig, as for her predeces sors, a distinguishing feature of the female personality is total surrender to love. Roig's novels present to us a gallery of women whose lives and con versations revolve around love or its lack. Her women both feed on love and are consumed by it. They long for love, need it above all else to live, and suffer in its absence. Love appears in Roig's novels under a variety of guises, but what we find most often is not the theme of love itself but those subordinate themes implying its loss or failure: unrequited love, insuffi cient love, unhappiness in marriage compounded by the meaninglessness of daily existence, a desire for freedom from the opression of love, and a long ing for love. The men in Roig's novels, on the other hand, define


The paper discusses a topic raised in recent leadership literature, that of distributed leadership. This concept is an alternative to the current focus on individual, sole leaders, and proposes that leadership is often distributed among two, more or many members of an organization. The literature on distributed leadership is discussed, with particular emphasis on the writings of Gronn (1999; 2002) who classifies distributed leadership as either numerical or concertive action, containing the properties of interdependence and coordination. A case study of an Australian nonprofit organization follows. This study seeks to determine if distributed leadership exists in this organization and if it could be understood using Gronn's concepts. The study indicates that distributed leadership does exist with three individuals being responsible for various leadership roles. The distributed leadership is seen as concertive action which is institutionalised in the organization. Distributed leadership succeeds, in this case, because of the interdependence of the roles of the leaders and because they work hard at coordination of their roles. The study concludes that while distributed leadership appears in this case, more research on the topic is needed. This paper is a work in progress. Material in the paper cannot be used without permission of the author.


We consider the problem of deriving compressed perceptual representation of multivariate time series and using it for efficient indexing and similarity search. Our algorithm is based on the identification of perceptual skeletons in multidimensional space and the use of these "simplifications" in similarity measurements. We illustrate the performance of the algorithm in a financial modeling application. Our results indicate that the skeleton representation outperforms the traditional approaches and is robust enough to be used even with the simplest distance metrics.


A new FIA method for the rapid determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in environmental water samples by stop flow technique is described. Acidic potassium permanganate solution is used both as oxidant and photometric indicating reagent. Glucose is used as standard. When the time of stop flow used is 5min and the reaction temperature is carried out at 95℃, the detection limit and relative standard deviation found are 2mg·L -1 and 0.8%, respectively. The determination range is 2~100mg·L -1 COD. The recoveries are in the range of 85%~95%. Choride ion up to 150mg·L -1 level does not interfere without any masking agent. The time for a determination is about 5 minutes and 30 seconds.


Delays of the order of tens of milliseconds in the appearance of the fast argon ion population in the expansion region of a pulsed helicon plasma are observed in time-resolved, laser induced fluorescence measurements. The fast ion population is a proxy for the presence of a double layer. The magnitude of the time delay depends strongly on the length of the interval between plasma pulses; the shorter the time between pulses, the shorter the time delay. The time delay approaches zero for inter-pulse intervals smaller than 30 ms. The double layer strength is not affected by plasma source modulation frequency.


As an important pillar of comprehensive national power, the innovation capacity of high-tech industries has always been a hot spot for research. This paper considers environmental factors and selects panel data of 11 provinces(cities) in Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) from 2011-2020 to study the green innovation capacity of their high-tech industries and its spillover effects. Finally, the following conclusions are drawn: (1) the green innovation capacity of provinces(cities) in the YREB shows a large gap between them, showing the geographical characteristics of "high in the east and low in the west"; (2) The direct and spillover effects of government support on green innovation in high-tech industries in each region are the largest; increasing government funding support for R&D can effectively enhance the green innovation capacity within each region and between regions.

"The essence of psychoanalytic theory is a discourse without words", Lacan says in the first class of the Seminar, book 16, From an Other to the other. Where can the paradox of this sentence send us to? First of all, according to Lacan, a signifier cannot represent itself. This takes us, therefore, to the long scope of the expression itself for the signifier proper. There would be, so to speak, an opacity, an inconsistency in the signifier structure itself, which leads us to conclude that there is no closing point of discourse, even more, "there is no universe of discourse". We clinically translate such statement verifying that there will always be what cannot be said. That does not mean taking the analytic discourse as impossible, nor devalue it. It is an impasse that is, above all, a logical-mathematical one. Hence this paper presents the radicality of the logical inconsistency of the Other as a correlate of a call to what Lacan names "spirit of psychoanalysis" when addressing his School.


The invention discloses a block stator, a manufacturing method of the block stator, a motor with the block stator and a household appliance. The manufacturing method includes the following steps: manufacturing multiple stator sub-iron-cores; manufacturing multiple insulated reels; installing the multiple reels on the multiple stator sub-iron-cores respectively; winding the reels on parts of the stator sub-iron-cores with main wound wires to form multiple main windings, wherein the main wound wires on the multiple main windings are not connected; continuously winding the reels on the other parts of the stator sub-iron-cores with an auxiliary wound wire to form multiple auxiliary windings connected through the auxiliary wound wire; alternately arranging the auxiliary windings and the main windings in a connected mode to form an annular shape; sequentially connecting the multiple stator sub-iron-cores. By means of the manufacturing method, an overall stator iron core is composed of the multiple stator sub-iron-cores, the windings are concentrated, and therefore wire winding is convenient to achieve and high in speed.


We recently discussed how to identify mineral deficiencies and eelworm infestation. Many other problems can occur, of course. As already mentioned, the farmer is the best person to determine the causes because he has been with the crop from the start.


Standard methods for higher-order calculations of QCD cross sections in hadron-induced collisions are time-consuming. The fastNLO project uses multi-dimensional interpolation techniques to convert the convolutions of perturbative coefficients with parton distribution functions and the strong coupling into simple products. By integrating the perturbative coefficients for a given observable with interpolation kernels, fastNLO can store the results of the time-consuming folding integrals in tables, which subsequently are used for very fast rederivations of the same observable for arbitrary parton distribution functions, different scale choices, or alpha_s(M_Z). Various tables with code for their evaluation are available for numerous jet measurements at the LHC, the TeVatron, and HERA. FastNLO is used in publications of experimental results by the ATLAS, CMS, CDF, D0, and H1 collaborations, and in all recent global PDF analyses by MSTW, CTEQ, and NNPDF. This article focuses on developments implemented in the new version 2 of fastNLO, enhancing and broadening its functionality.

The exponential growth of devices connected to the network has resulted in the development of new IoT applications and on-line services. However, these advances are limited by the rigidity of the current network infrastructure, in which the administrator has to implement high-level network policies adapting and configuring protocols manually and usually through a command line interface (CLI). At this point, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) appears as a viable alternative network architecture that allows for programming the network and opening the possibility of creating new services and more efficient applications to cover the actual requirements. In this paper, we describe this new technology and analyze its opportunities in the development of IoT applications. Similarly, we present the first applications and projects based on this technology. Finally, we discuss the issues and challenges in its implementation.


We investigate the influence of Non Line Of Sight (NLOS) components on the performance of Vehicular VLC (V-VLC). Given the steep rise of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for road safety applications, the need for reliable technologies for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication rises. Among others, V-VLC turned out to be a promising candidate to enhance vehicular connectivity, which nicely complements Radio Frequency (RF)-based technologies. V-VLC is supposed to be a Line Of Sight (LOS) communication technology, nevertheless, there is also a NLOS component caused by reflection on the road surface. In this paper, we investigate this influence in a real-world measurement campaign for different ground surfaces. Our results are very interesting as they (a) confirm a huge impact, and (b) indicate such reflections being actually helpful as they improve the received signal strength.


IT IS BY NOW A COMMONPLACE among historians of twentieth-century Europe that fascism constituted the most characteristic political phenomenon of the period between the two World Wars.2 Even though it triumphed unequivocally only in Italy and Germany, conservative regimes from the Iberian peninsula to the Baltic sea provided more or less convincing imitations of the real thing. Equally significantly, in a number of European countries where fascism never came close to gaining power-no country with a deeply rooted liberal or democratic tradition went fascist-movements that


The Internet of Things (IoT) healthcare has been suggested as a talented way of importantly increasing patient productivity also satisfaction. In IoT, medical instruments calculate the critical symptoms of the patients and add them onto medical databases that are processed and retrieved by healthcare personnel in the cloud. Encryption is usually used to maintain authentication by trusted parties to medical data while avoiding unauthorized access to them to protect patient privacy. The prompt access to patient files in emergency cases is important in healthcare. In this article we suggest a scheme that facilitates the access to protected medical data, attribute-based access and broken glass access, which is a compact blow access control (LiBAC). Under normal cases an attribute-set medical worker can decode and view the data that complies with the access policy of the medical file. The break-glass entry system circumvents the patient file access regulation, allowing emergency medical services or rescue personnel to access the records in good time. As the instruments in the IoT healthcare network conduct very few calculations and storage in addition communication overheads are minimal, LiBAC is light-weight. LiBAC in the standard model has been officially proven stable, and comprehensive studies are carried out to illustrate its efficacy.


How does the senior manager of a public organization practice the strategy and mobilize his team to enable continuously, in the organization where it is located: meeting its mission, stakeholder needs and the dynamics of the internal and external environment? This question guides the research of this article which also presents the structuring of a framework that brings together four academic approaches - Carlos Matus' Situational Strategic Planning (1991; 1997; 2005), as a central element; Whittington's Strategy as a Social Practice (1997; 2002; 2004; 2006); Freeman's Stakeholder Theory (2010); and Burns' Transformational Leadership (1978; 2003). Data were collected in semi-structured interviews and treated qualitatively by Thomas's inductive analysis (2006), the Gibbs coding and categorization method (2009) and the matching presented by Trochim (1989). The framework should serve as a reference for the action of the manager regarding the mentioned issue.


Aim: To investigate the influence of thyroid hormones in etiology of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Materials and Method: Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were measured via third generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, whereas free T3 (sT3) and Free T4 (sT4) measurements were sorted with ELISA method in 55 patients with HG and 64 control individuals in their first trimester of pregnancy between May 2008 and December 2011. Results: Mean TSH level was found to decrease and mean sT4 level was found to elevate in pre-treatment serum samples of HG group when compared to the control group. Both differences were statistically significant (p=0.020 and p=0.007, respectively). However, there was not a statistical difference in mean sT3 level between pre-treatment serum samples of HG and control groups (p=0.064). When pre and post-treatment values in HG group were compared, solely the difference in serum sT4 level was found statistically significant (p=0.019). Posttreatment measurements of TSH, sT3 and sT4 in HG group were not statistically different than the control group. Conclusion: Hyperthyroidism which is demonstrated biochemically before the pre-treatment responded to conventional supportive treatment in patients diagnosed as HG. With supportive treatment hormonal profile of the patients returned to normal values. As thyroid suppressive treatment was not needed, and sT4 elevation stood  out in relief apart from actual hyperthyroidism, it is demonstrated that transient hyperthyroidism was the case in patients with HG rather than the actual hyperthyroidism.


It is over a year since the introduction of the government's flexible working legislation, which gave employees with young children the right to ask for hours that suit them. Emma Lee Potter discovers how much difference it has made.


Relevance feedback (RF) is an interactive process which refines the retrievals by utilizing user's feedback history. Most researchers strive to develop new RF techniques and ignore the advantages of existing ones. We propose an image relevance reinforcement learning (IRRL) model for integrating existing RF techniques. Various integration schemes are presented and a long-term shared memory is used to exploit the retrieval experience from multiple users. Also, a concept digesting method is proposed to reduce the complexity of storage demand. The experimental results manifest that the integration of multiple RF approaches gives better retrieval performance than using one RF technique alone, and that the sharing of relevance knowledge between multiple query sessions also provides significant contributions for improvement. Further, the storage demand is significantly reduced by the concept digesting technique. This shows the scalability of the proposed model against a growing-size database.

It also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for whitening the skin and / or mucous membranes comprising a step of oral administration or for topical application to the skin and / or mucous membranes of a CB1 receptor antagonist and a method of selection of bleaching agent and / or anti-browning of keratin materials.


Respiratory infections are common and severe in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Little is known, however, about the host defense function in the lungs of these patients. In order to determine whether alterations of the effector immune mechanisms in the lung contribute to the poor clearance of respiratory infectious agents in AIDS, we studied the expression of phagocytic surface receptors for the Fc portion of IgG by macrophages from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of sixteen patients with AIDS and seven control patients. Alveolar macrophages were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid by passage through sterile gauze and centrifugation (400 X g 10 min 4"C), followed by two washes in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, and cultures of adherent cells were established in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, antibiotics, and 1OOh fetal calf serum. Cell recovery per 100 ml of BAL fluid was similar in all cases, as was cell viability (> 96% as determined by trypan blue exclusion). The expression of functional surface receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (FcR) was determined after various periods in culture using a rosette assay with opsonized sheep erythrocytes as indicator particles. Briefly, sheep erythocytes were coated with rabbit antisheep erythrocyte IgG (Cordis) at a subagglutinating concentration, washed, and used at a final concentration of 0.5% (vol/vol). Sheep erythrocytes coated with purified rabbit anti-sheep erythrocyte IgM (Cordis) were prepared similarly and served as control indicator particles. At early times in tissue culture (three to six hours), there were no significant differences in the percentage of BAL macrophages expressing surface FcR between the AIDS and control group (88% versus 93%). After 18-30 hours of culture, however, BAL macrophages from AIDS patients showed a significant decrease in the expression of surface FcR (50 f 7% positive) as compared with BAL macrophages from control patients (73 f 8% positive). A closer examination of the data led to the identification of two distinct groups among AIDS patients. As shown in FIGURE 1, BAL macrophages from one group of AIDS patients maintained the expression of FcR at a level comparable to that of control macrophages (70 f 4% versus 73 f 8%); in contrast, BAL macrophages from the

Combining ability analysis in rice carried out during kharif, 2011–12 under coastal salt affected soil at Costal Soil Salinity Research Station, Danti, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat. The experiment including 4 x 12 (line x tester) crossing programme was conducted for investigate the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability analysis (SCA) for the various traits. The general combining ability effect enables to the identification of desirable male and female parents. Parent, IET-18710 as found to be good general combiner for most of the traits viz., grain per panicle, productive tillers per hill, grain yield per plant, straw yield per plant, days to maturity and harvest index. Specific combining ability, hybrids viz., Jaya x IET 18710, NAUR 1 x IR 71829, IET 15429 x IET 18710 and NAUR 1 x IET 18710 were found to be the most promising for grain yield, its component traits under costal salinity. Those crosses were found to involve at least one parent with high GCA effect and other parents having either high or low GCA effect indicating the involvement of additive as well as non-additive gene action operating in these crosses. The preponderance of non additive gene action, presence of substantial degree of sca effects for grain yield and other component characters favoured a hybrid breeding programme in rice.

Stitches or adhesive patches still represent the gold standard for the closure of wounds. However, inspite of their long history and widespread implementation, these solutions remain problematic in different respects, due to the combination of factors that complicate the healing process, such as foreign body reactions, antimicrobial infections, or the permeability of the repair. Our work consists of the pursuit of an alternative technological platform to seal wounds in different clinical contexts, by the use of laser welding in combination with biocompatible scaffolds made of electrospun fibers containing polysaccharidic components and hosting a variety of dyes, such as FDA-approved indocyanine green or more durable plasmonic nanoparticles. We illustrate the use of these materials in different regimes of optical irradiation, where cw light activates a cascade of photo-thermal and biochemical processes that result into a strong adhesion at the boundary with a connective tissue. We suggest the incorporation of multishell Au@Ag core@shell nanoparticles as a tool serving both as a photothermal transducer and a source of silver cations, which may migrate through the microporous scaffold and exert an antimicrobial function. While the versatility of our materials and methods still leaves substantial room for optimization and even more functionalization, we are confident that our work will make an impact and inspire new synergistic solutions at the crossroads between tissue engineering and biomedical optics.


The language is the most important communication tool and thought tool of human being.In language practice,the people always are needed to create the language signal combination to express the sentence meaning.In the language signal combination process,which marks may juxtapose,what is its basis again,we embark from the language and the logical two aspects,the proper attention to both semantics and the language does one comprehensive inspection with two stratification planes.


Let (X, T, π) be a topological transformation group, where X is a Hausedorff continuum. We will say that X is irreducibly T-invariant if no proper subcontinuum of X is T-invariant. Wallace, [6], has shown that if T is abelian and X is irreducibly T-invariant, then X has no cut point; he then asked if this statement remains true if "abelian" is replaced by "compact". In this paper we answer this question in the affirmative, and prove a related result when T satisfies a recursive property.


The industrial source complex short-term model(ISCST3) and ADMS-Urban were used to determine the concentration of TSP in Fushun,Liaoning Province,China.The results showed that the correlation coefficient of the monitored TSP and simulated TSP by ISCST3 reached 0.77,but the correlation coefficient of TSP by ADMS-Urban reached 0.82.The verification data showed that methods were accurate in the Fushun urban area.By comparing ISCST3 model to ADMS-Urban model,ADMS-urban was better than ISCST3 and ISCST3 had several parts to be modified and ameliorated.


This research examined the moderating role of the financial crisis on the relationship between capital/motives and investment intentions. Human and social capital, nonfinancial resources, and all motives except financial success related positively to investment intention. Social capital and the motive for financial success related positively to investment intention only for those affected by the crisis in a negative way. The motives for independence and recognition related positively to investment intention only for those affected by the crisis in a positive way, while the motive of self‐realization related positively to investment intentions particularly for those affected by the crisis in a positive way.


theoretical and conceptual servant' (p. vii). They then systematically proceed to advance volumes of arguments, all pointing out that the concept of class might have been useful in social analyses in the past but is no longer relevant and should therefore be discarded. Inequalities in contemporary societies, they argue, might be as great as ever, or even greater, but they cannot be adequately explained by class theory or examined by class analysis. What kind of theory or concept would best serve as a replacement in the study of social stratification the authors do not state clearly, although they suggest that no 'single theo-

The fourth positive emissions of carbon monoxide in the coma of comet Hale‐Bopp have been assumed to be due mainly to fluorescence induced by sunlight. Based on this assumption they were used to deduce the abundance of carbon monoxide in the comet, giving a value higher than in other comets. Emissions produced by electron impact excitation of CO were not considered. Recent measurements and theoretical calculations of integral cross sections for electron impact excitation of CO allow the contribution of electron impact to be calculated, giving about 40% of the total. This implies that the abundance of CO in the outer coma of comet Hale‐Bopp was only 60% of that previously deduced. However, as the high proportion of CO in comet Hale‐Bopp was also seen in some other measurements, alternative explanations are considered. The method of calculation is tested by successfully predicting the O I emission at 1356 Å, supporting the belief that this line is due to electron impact excitation.

Inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis is now established as a useful therapeutic strategy for the treatment of a number of diseases. These include chemoprevention of cancer, treatment of African sleeping sickness, caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, and the removal of unwanted facial hair. There is also laboratory evidence that compounds inhibiting the key decarboxylases required for polyamine production (ornithine decarboxylase and S-adenosylmethonine decarboxylase) may be useful for the treatment of some cancers and for diseases caused by other parasitic protozoa. This review describes the available inhibitors for these enzymes and for the aminopropyltransferases that make up the remainder of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. The design of specific inhibitors, their mechanism of action, effects on polyamine content and therapeutic potential are covered.


The objective of the present study was to determine the fatty acid composition and antioxidant activity (AA) in the Muscularis longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) from goats supplemented with Moringa oleifera leaves, sunflower cake or grass hay. Eighteen castrated goats aged 9 months, were fattened for 60 days and used in this study. After slaughter, samples from the muscle tissue were collected to determine fatty acid composition and antioxidant activity. The crude protein and polyphenols was lower in the grass hay supplement. The protein and fat contents in the meat from goat fed with Moringa or sunflower cake was higher than in meat from grass hay supplement. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids/ saturated fatty acids ratios obtained from meat supplemented with grass hay, Moringa and sunflower cake were 1.5, 1.39 and 2.17, respectively. Total phenolic content was high in the meat from goat supplemented with Moringa (10.62±0.27 GAE/g), followed by sunflower cake (5.21±0.05GAE/g) while that of grass hay-supplemented goats was very low (1.58±0.17GAE/g). Data obtained from meat supplemented with moringa showed effective and moderate reduction of ABTS (93.51±0.19) and DPPH (58.95±0.3) radicals than other supplements. Similarly, the ferric reducing power of meat from goat fed with Moringa, sunflower cake and grass hay was increased in descending order. The antioxidant activity of meat sample supplemented with Moringa on catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lipid oxidation (LO) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than GH and SC supplements. The current study indicated that Moringa supplementation


The studies on the effect of atmospheric aerosol on climate and environment are hot issues in the current circle of international science and technology. In recent years the pollution of aerosol is getting worse and worse over the Pearl River Delta. The clouds of aerosol occur all year round, with heavy pollution area located at the western side at the mouth of Pearl River. The haze weather mainly occurs from October to April next year, resulting in visibility deterioration. From the beginning of 1980s, visibility dramatically deteriorated, obviously increasing haze weather, in which there are three big fluctuations, showing the periods of pollutions of dust, sulphate and dust,fine particle from photochemical process and sulphate and dust accompanying with the development of economy respectively. The long-term tendency of visibility caused by fog and light fog does not show a tendency due to human activities or economic development, which mainly shows the interannual and interdecadal variation of climate. The deterioration of visibility has close relation to the fine particles over Pearl River Delta, with half of PM10 overpass the limited value set by national
second graded standard (150 μg m-3), meanwhile, all values of PM2.5 overpass the day-mean limited value of American national standard (65 μg m-3), especially from October to January next year, monthly mean values of PM2.5 almost reach two times of standard value, indicating the fine particle concentration is very high. The ratio of PM2.5 to PM10 is also very high, reaching 58%-77%, higher especially in dry season than in rainy season. Thus it is the fine particle pollution in aerosol pollution over the Pearl River Delta.Compared with the data of 15 years ago, the ratio of ne particle to aerosol has obviously increased.


Photonic structures denoted as LNOI (LiNbO3-on-insulator) are of considerable interest for integrated optics due to a high refractive-index contrast provided by the interface LiNbO3/insulator. A topical problem for LNOI-based optical waveguides is optical-frequency conversion, in particular realized on ferroelectric domains on the basis of quasi phase-matching principle. This paper presents extended studies on the fabrication of domain patterns by atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods (raster lithography, piezo-force microscopy, conductive AFM) in single-crystal ion-sliced LiNbO3 films forming LNOI sandwiches. A body of data obtained on writing characteristics of domains and specified 1D and 2D domain patterns permitted us to manipulate the domain sizes and shapes. Of special importance is the stability of created patterns, which persist with no degradation during observation times of months. The domain coalescence leading to the transformation of a discrete domain pattern to a continuous one was investigated. This specific effect—found in thin LiNbO3 layers for the first time—was attributed to the grounding of space-charges accumulated on domain walls. Observations of an enhanced static conduction at domain walls exceeding that in surrounding areas by not less than by five orders of magnitude supports this assumption. AFM domain writing in ion-sliced films serves as a basis for studies in nonlinear photonic crystals in integrated optical schemes.


High-profile police killings in the United States have drawn attention to how municipalities generate revenue through citations and arrests. This article investigates whether killings by police are more frequent in places that rely on fine-and-fee revenue by first describing the types of municipalities that collect the most money from monetary sanctions. It then analyzes whether fine-and-fee reliance and a municipality's status as urban, suburban, or rural are associated with police killings. Descriptive statistics and negative binomial models reveal that suburbs with large Black populations rely the most on fine-and-fee revenue and police killings are higher in central cities than suburbs or rural towns. Cross-sectional and longitudinal regression models find that municipalities that rely more on fines and fees have more police killings, suggesting municipal fiscal imperatives influence police violence.


Adventitious shoots of Pinus monticola obtained from embryonic tissue were exposed to 4 combinations of growth regulators (6-benzylaminopurine/NAA/IAA/IBA), either continuously for 6 weeks or by pulse treatment for 7 days, followed by 5 weeks culture without growth regulators. After 6 weeks of continuous exposure, rooting of shoots varied between 0 and 20%. Pulse treatment resulted in 40-64% rooting. In paired comparisons pulse treatments always provided better rooting percentages than did constant exposure treatments. Pulse treatments also produced longer (less than 2 mm) roots and more multiple roots.


Introduction. The articlecompares the heat engineering properties of construction materials: high-strength concrete, ordinary concrete, and two concrete samples containing a vegetable additive, dried stem fragments of hogweed (Heracleum sosnowskyi). The first sample contains the additive in the crushed form, while the second contains the additive in the form of tubes. The research to estimate heat conduction in the four samples under unsteady conditions.
Materials and methods. The thermal diffusivity of two samples with plant additive is determined using a comparative physical experiment. When determining the thermal properties, the accumulating component of the enclosure is taken into account what leads to a long delay in the temperature variation over time. DS18B20 digital temperature sensors connected to an Arduino Uno board were used to measure the temperature. The experiment was carried out in the Challenge 250 chamber at an initial temperature of 20 ºС. Then the chamber temperature was lowered to 0 ºС within 30 minutes. In the next period, the temperature dropped from 0 ºС to –10 ºС. The data obtained are of interest for improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
Results. The experiments showed that the tubular-hogweed sample is close to high-strength concrete by its heat engineering properties. The material thermal diffusivity affects the amplitude of temperature fluctuations and the accumulating capacity of the wall.
Conclusions. It is established experimentally that at lower thermal diffusivity of a hogweed-containing sample, the amplitude of temperature fluctuations increases. This indicates a greater time lag, just as in the case of a high-strength concrete sample. When using the hogweed as an additive, we obtain a heat-resistant minimum-cost material for enclosures. Considering an issue of the energy efficiency in construction and existing additives to concrete, the researchers have reached the conclusion that it is efficient to use the dried hogweed as the plant additive.


Construction progress monitoring is important for the construction management of high-rise building groups. The traditional manually acquiring the construction progress of each individual building is inefficient and error-prone. Nowadays, automated image-based progress monitoring methods play a good role in obtaining progress on site. The construction progress of high-rise buildings is highly related to the height, which the image 3D reconstruction production, Digital Surface Model (DSM) is good at reflecting the elevation information of the landscape. Based on DSM and the corresponding orthophoto obtained from VAV aerial photos, this paper proposes a 2.5D as-planned model containing the plan layout and altitude list of the floor slabs, and uses the Peak position of the histogram of the Altitude in DSM (shorted as 'PADSM') of each individual building to identify the floor-level construction progress and use orthophoto to extract the appearance of the floor working plane to reflect the operative-level progress for each individual building. This paper also analyzes the patterns of DSM histogram peaks for individual buildings under different construction states. The results indicate that the method proposed in this paper is effective and significantly helpful for automated schedule monitoring and project management for high-rise building groups.


Masspectra(MS)of 1-methyl-(I), 4-substituted 1-phenyl-1 H-pyrazolo[3, 4-d]pyrimidine 5-oxides(II)and 1, 5-dihydro1-methylpyrazolo[3, 4-d]pyrimidine-4-one(III)were examined. The possible principle fragmentation of I and II is summarized by the four dissociation paths, that is, the loss of oxygen atom from the molecular ion(M+), the loss of carbon monoxide from the rearranged molecular ion b, the successive losses of hydrogen radical and carbon monoxide from M+, and also the successive losses of hydrogen radical and oxygen atom from M1, ashown in path 1 to 4 in Scheme 1. In MS of II b, the isopropyl group at the 4-position easily dissociates, so that IIb does not undergo the skeletal rearrangement involving path 2 and 3. The one step loss of hydroxy radical from M+ and the loss of nitrogen monoxide from M+are difficult to find in MS of I and II. The pressure dependency is widely observed for many of the fragment ions, especially the ions concerned with path 1 are typical, of the pressure dependency.

Pain folklore is inadequate to make sense of chronic pain. As a result, chronic pain sufferers feel frustrated and socially isolated. They encounter further difficulties in social settings, where problems regarding the management of pain remain unsolved. They cannot find refuge in retreating to certain knowledge of their private inner states, for their troubles are located not in pain but in language and culture. The problems of chronic pain sufferers suggest a form of suffering which transcends physical pain.


Web Appendix A: The Gittins index Table 4 shows the Gittins index function computed for a 5×5 grid of patient successes and failures. These values correspond to a particular instance in which the initial prior for an arm k is uniform, i.e., sk,0 = fk,0 = 1, the discount factor is d = 0.99, the index precision is of 4 digits and the infinite summation defining the index has been truncated at T = 750 (since 0.99 < 10−3, patients treated after t = 750 yield an almost zero expected discounted reward).

Saintly patience towards earthly tribulations is one of the key characteristics
 of saints' lives, and it was frequently investigated in canonization
 inquests. The tribulations could include, for example, deaths of loved ones
 or troubles with earthly rulers. In most canonization inquests the topic of
 bodily infirmity, especially the saintly candidate's patient attitude towards
 it, was also investigated. However, the way such patience comes up in
 the process varies greatly: it could be used and investigated to highlight
 aspects of a saint's life that the witnesses and the conductors of the hearing
 considered important, such as preaching, spiritual raptures, or earthly
 duties. Here the saint's gender and status in society and the geographic
 origins of their cult all played major roles.


Objective To review the complications of filtering bleb from eyes undergoing the glaucoma filtration surgery and evaluate the efficiency f the treatment.Methods From February 2000 to pril 2002 all patients after trabeculectomy were retrospectively reviewed.The complication of filtering bleb and its reason were analyzed.The treatment causing these complications were also discussed.Results 55 cases(68 eyes)of glaucoma were operated by trabeculectomy.Filtering bleb scarring occurred in 11 eyes;Bleb leak occurred in 2 eyes;Infected bleb occurred in 1 case;Encapsulated bleb1 case,and oversized bleb 1 case.Patients were enrolled on a consecutive basis and prospectively followed up.Standard trabeculectomies were performed.During the first two years,five of 7 cases of early onset bleb scarring had been controlled in IOP,however,only one of 4 cases late onset bleb scarring remained normal IOP level merely when treated with glaucoma drugs.Filtering bleb leak and blebitis were cured after treatment.Likewise,encapsulated bleb and oversized bleb were also controlled.Conclusions There are numerous early and later bleb related problems following filtering surgery.Serious results would be avoided if treated promptly and precisely.


Molecular-beam electric-resonance spectroscopy is used to interrogate the rotational states present in a molecular beam of oriented symmetric-top molecules produced for scattering experiments. ¢M )( 1 transitions are observed between Stark energy levels in weak electric fields and depend on the rotational quantum numbers J and K. Substantial rotational cooling is apparent in both neat and seeded beams. Each resonance signal has a complicated dependence upon the high voltage applied to the hexapole focusing fields because molecules in the newly transformed states have vastly different focusing properties from the original. These effects can be unified using a "reduced" focusing voltage that allows intensity comparisons between rotational states, giving rotational temperatures of 3-4 K for CF3H seeded in He or Ar. Under favorable circumstances, radio frequency "labeling" might allow one to selectively remove one rotational level at a time from an oriented molecular beam and thereby to study the orientation dependence of different rotational states.


In this paper, a novel robust adaptive control method is proposed for controlling the well-known Lorenz chaotic attractor. Firstly, we design a new Backstepping controller for controlling the Lorenz system based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. The proposed method is different from the typical Backstepping control method and it can overcome the singularity problem appeared in using the typical Backstepping control method. So by exploiting the property of the system, the resulting controller is singularity free and the closed-loop system is stable globally. Since in practice we have not access to full information of the system states, we set the controller parameters in order to achieve a controller form which only needs to one system state. To overcome the problem of parameter uncertainty we add a term to Lyapunov function and obtain an identification law to have a negative definite Lyapunov function derivative. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.


Many countries have implemented drastic measures to fight the COVID‐19 pandemic. Restrictions and diversion of resources may have negatively affected patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Our aim was to examine whether COVID‐19 had an impact on access to PD medication by region and income.


Along with the educational reform of the increased enrollment system and the rating system,poor students at vocational colleges have become a new disadvantaged group,not only in their financial affairs and study,but also in their daily life and later employment.Basing on the current situation of poor students,the author analyzes its forming causes,such as governmental policies,family financials and disadvantages of vocational colleges,and then puts forward measures from standpoints of society and colleges so as to make the students grow healthily and achieve the higher educational goal.


We report the theoretical investigations on the giant magnetocaloric compound ${\mathrm{MnFeP}}_{0.45}{\mathrm{As}}_{0.55}$. The magnetic state equation used takes into account the magnetoelastic effect that leads the magnetic system to order under first order paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition. The model parameters were determined from the magnetization data adjustment and used to calculate the magnetocaloric thermodynamic quantities. The theoretical calculations are compared with the available experimental data.


Abstract THE current lack of interest in poultry and poultry science by the upcoming generation was manifested by the low student load in our Poultry Science Departments is a matter of concern to all who are aware of the situation. May and Driggers (1964) pointed out that the poultry industry was going elsewhere for its management personnel because not enough were available through Poultry Science Departments. A continuation of this trend, they pointed out, could have disastrous results on Poultry Science Departments or sections. The effect of this lack of professional poultry management potential on the poultry industry in the coming years cannot be accurately foreseen. Many have given thought to this problem. Callenbach (1956) called attention to the decreasing enrollment in Poultry Science Departments throughout the North American continent for the period of 1950–1956. In a later paper Callenbach (1959) presented a more detailed picture of poultry science graduates …


Development of new sensors with precise and innovative measurement mechanisms is a key in underpinning the competitiveness of industries like automotive, aviation, and power generation. Due to progresses made in micromachining technologies, fabrication of such sensors for multifunctional applications and their integration with readout circuits is easily achievable. In this paper a new multifunctional sensor for the simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature is proposed and modeled. It uses membranes and beams as active bodies and capacitance measurement as readout system. The sensor can be fabricated with available CMOS-compatible foundry processes. The results of the finite element simulations are presented for pressures up to 1 MPa and temperature changes up to 250 °C.Copyright © 2009 by ASME


A special emphasis on artificial or constructed spaces appears throughout Thomas Pynchon's body of work. This thesis explores how Pynchon describes such spaces and their uses to address such weighty topics as social inequity and the struggle against authoritarianism. In examining the role of sheltering spaces in novels such as V. and Gravity's Rainbow, I argue that Pynchon depicts various "outsider" characters as finding reification of their own forms of alterity within spaces either designed or co-opted with such purpose in mind. Through Pynchon's depiction of spatial transformation in novels like Vineland and Inherent Vice, the author finds the opportunity to address ethical issues revolving around concepts of real estate and private property, such as gentrification. Even graphical depictions of space, such as the maps of Mason & Dixon or virtual reality program found in Bleeding Edge, present themselves as worthy figures of study in Pynchon's work, as representations of space that seek to establish boundaries or delineated property play an integral role in the authoritarian forces that seek to oppress the downtrodden, or those whom society views as "the Other." A geocritical reading of Thomas Pynchon's work not only provides readers with a clearer understanding of the political thought guiding the author's pen, but also provides his readers with a means of navigating his sometimesencyclopedic novels. ©2018 by John Stout All Rights Reserved Table of


There is an absolute need for an in-depth coverage of certain important topics in an undergraduate engineering curriculum especially in the area of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. This need arises basically from the feedback received from the alumni and also from some members of the Industrial Advisory Board. A small group of employers has also indicated that there is a need for increasing the academic rigor in certain courses. The author is of the opinion that all undergraduate engineering students must know, in addition to various other topics, the five theorems that are normally encountered while treating the subject matter of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. The five theorems are Green's Theorem, Gauss' Theorem, Stokes' Theorem, Buckingham-Pi Theorem and Boussinesq approximation. The author considers this 'set' as a part of accommodating academic rigor. The author has tried to meet these needs while he was teaching courses in Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. In this presentation, the author describes how he has tried to incorporate the principles of Boussinesq approximation in a junior level fluid mechanics course. He has also outlined methods to assess students' knowledge in certain specific areas. Introduction Boussinesq approximation is named after the French physicist and mathematician Joseph Valentin Boussinesq for his invaluable contributions in the area of hydraulics and fluid mechanics. Boussinesq was the professor of mechanics at the Faculty of Sciences of Paris, before retiring in 1918. There are several mathematical models to describe Boussinesq approximation and Boussinesq equations. Boussinesq approximation is normally encountered in three general areas. 1. Buoyancy: Assuming small differences in density of the fluid, one can utilize Boussinesq approximation for determining buoyancy-driven flow calculations. 2. Waves: Assuming gravitational actions, one can utilize Boussinesq approximation for analyzing the propagation of long water waves on the surface of fluid layer. 3. Viscosity: Eddy Viscosity to model Reynold's Stresses is another area where Boussinesq approximation has helped in Turbulence modeling. P ge 15214.2 It is essential that students have an adequate background of partial differenital equations before they take a course in Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. In this paper, the author presents some ideas pertaining to the utilization of those mathematical techniques in a Fluid Mechanics course. Boussinesq approximation for water waves is an important topic that majority of engineering students must know and understand. The approximation is valid for non-linear waves and fairly long waves. The students should also understand that fluid being studied is incompressible and is an assumption that is used in the theory of convection. Some instructors are of the opinion that Boussinesq Equations are normally not taught in an undergraduate curriculum. The author is in partial agreement with this idea. Regardless, the author wants to introduce the importance of Boussinesq approximation in an undergraduate curriculum, because many students may not choose to go to a graduate program in fluid mechanics. Boussinesq Equations It is important to observe that buoyancy-driven flow experiments, data collection and calculations have been carried out on horizontal turbulent buoyant jet with small density variations only. Validity of Boussinesq approximation has been verified in these instances. However, if one tries to analyze horizontal turbulent buoyant jet with relatively larger density variations, one finds inadequate data in the literature. Perhaps, there is enough experimental data, availabile only to certain specific researchers. It is possible to obtain an accurate description of wave evolution in coastal regions utilizing Boussinesq-type equations. Boussinesq models gained prominence during the past few decades because of the availability of high-speed computers and simulation software. The original equations were derived by Boussinesq in 1871, using a 'depth-averaged' model. However major subsequent contributions to the subject matter took place during the 1960's, wherein 'variable-depth' models were introduced. Let us consider for example, the potential flow over a horizontal bed. Let us consider a three-dimensional space with co-ordinates, x, y, z. However, for this example let us consider only the two dimensional plane x and z. If h is the mean water depth, and z is the vertical coordinate, then z = – h. One can arrive at a Taylor Expansion of the velocity potential η∀(x,z,t) around the bed level, z = – h. Page 15214.3 Assume that u is the horizontal flow velocity component, w is the vertical flow velocity component, g is the acceleration due to gravity and φ∀ is free surface elevation. Then, horizontal and vertical flow velocities can be accounted for while deriving the partial differential equations. It is normal practice to solve a system of conservation equations of an integral model using a fourth order Runge-Kutta technique. The ultimate objective is to obtain a set of numerical solutions to the problem in question. Buoyancy Motion If one assumes that buoyancy can drive the motion even when the temperature variations and the density variations are very small, one can understand the basis for Boussinesq Approximation. Boussinesq Equations can be derived based on these fundamental assumptions. Supposing one considers determining the flow under certain specified conditions. 3 3 3 6 1 ] ) [( x u h u h x t b b ÷ ÷ ? − ÷ ÷ − ÷ ÷ φ φ x t u h x g x u u t u b b b b 2 3 2 2 1 ÷ ÷ ÷ ? ÷ ÷ − ÷ ÷ − ÷ ÷ φ


One of the many meanings of the term form is the face of a solid object [1]. The face of a polyhedron is a flat surface, a polygon. One of the faces of a polyhedron is the front face, that is the surface facing the point of observation. When an observer moves (or when the object itself is moved) the projectedform of this surface-form undergoes a continuous sequential perspective transformation [2]. The optical form undergoes change but the substantial form does not. The mathematician can think of this change as a family of geometrical forms, each linked to every other by a specific transformation and this conception is implied by projective geometry, a conception of forms outside of time. The perceptionist, however, thinks of it as a change in time. If he displays a continuous sequence of this sort, obtained by projecting a transforming shadow on a translucent screen, he finds that it will arouse the perception of a rigid surface in motion [3]. It was first concluded from this experiment that such a sequence (or geometrical family) of optical forms was a 'stimulus' for the perception of the face of an object. The term stimulus was being used in a very general sense, in a sense of the term that I have now abandoned, and I would now say instead that the sequence contained information for the perception. Note that only one face of an object is being considered. How one goes from the perception of the face of an object to the perception of the whole object was not explained at that time. More of this question later. In these first experiments, the hypothesis of invariants in the sequence of perspective transformations was implicit. It gradually became more


I mplant drilling procedures could cause a temperature rise in the surrounding hard tissue. Many in vitro evaluations have demonstrated heat generation and subsequent bone overheating when incorrect surgical protocols were performed. Different temperature values were reported in different published articles because a large number of factors are involved during drilling heat generation. Pressure applied, drill speed, drill material, drilling depth, drill sharpness, drill diameter, number of drill uses, and irrigation method could significantly influence the temperature rise. Albrektsson et al reported that a temperature rise until dangerous level could lead to cell necrosis and degeneration of some proteins. The temperature threshold level for thermal bone tissue injury was first set at 56°C and then Eriksson and Albrektsson's study demonstrated that heating the bone up to 47°C or 50°C for 1 minute could be sufficient to impair the bone formation in rabbit cortical bone. Their study was performed using a dividable titanium structure with a 1-mm-wide transverse canal in which the authors could evaluate the thorough bone growth. The authors were only able to evaluate the bone growth inside the canal and did not focus on the implant osseointegration because they did not place real titanium dental implants. The titanium structure was inserted in rabbit tibia that is mainly composed of cortical bone, and it is not clarified if the cancellous bone could have the same clinical behavior. A recent study demonstrated histologically in cortical bone, with an in vivo model, that bone overheating due to insufficient bur irrigation, before implant insertion, could have some negative effects on titanium dental implant osseointegration but they did not measure the bone temperature achieved. In a subsequent study, Trisi et al reported that cortical bone heating before implant insertion (sheep mandible) up to 60°C for 1 minute did not impair the osseointegration, but it was enough to create periimplant infrabony pockets statistically deeper than the control group.

The barrier of learning listening is experienced by students that make them feel anxious. Consequently, it easily effects their performance during listening class. Therefore, this study is aimed to describe the anxiety types and causes of anxiety confronted by EFL students in listening class at university level. To accomplish this aim, Qualitative research designs was applied by the researchers. The research subjects were English Department Students in IAIN Tulungagung. The research data were obtained through observation in listening class and in-depth interviews to the six most anxious informants. Then, the collected data was analyzed by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. In order to check trustworthiness of data, theoretical and methodological triangulations applied. The result of this study was revealed that there were six symptoms of anxiety confronted by the students in listening class, that were categorized as the type of Arousal Anxiety (ArA), Apprehension Anxiety (ApA), and Mixed Anxiety (MA) also revealed five causes of anxiety. Those results inform the lecturer to be understood about students' anxiety and start to create the joyful learning in listening class so that they are more comfortable following the class.
