It is well-known that immiserising growth cannot occur in a large, non-distorted economy that employs its optimal tariff. However, if production decisions are made before tariffs are ir revocably set, then the conventional optimal tariff is not time-consistent. We show that if a large country employs its time-consistent optimal tariff, then ultra-import biased domestic growth can be immiserising both for the large country and for its foreign trading partners. We also show that if the large country employs its second-best domestic production tax on importables, then im miserising growth cannot occur. It is well-known that, under free trade, an outward shift in a large country's pro duction possibility frontier can lead to immiserising growth. It is also clear that, in the presence of domestic distortions, immiserising growth can occur for a small country. Finally, we know that immiserising growth cannot arise if the large country utilizes its optimal tariff and is not subject to domestic distortions. However, the determination of a large nation's optimal tariff, and the implications of economic growth for domestic welfare, are usually analyzed in an atemporal frame work in which production, consumption (trade) and tariff decisions are all made simul taneously. In reality, most productive activities require time and hence a nation will usually have to precommit to production decisions before consumption decisions are made. In a perfect foresight world in which the country can also credibly precommit to its optimal tariff, this precommitment to production activities, in advance of consump


Members of the 'DHHC' (Asp-His-His-Cys) family of 23 mammalian protein acyltransferases, traditionally studied in non-cancer contexts, have emerged as key regulators of tumor biology [1]. For example, melanomagenesis is negatively regulated by DHHC13 [2], and DHHC5 drives malignant glioma development and progression [3]. Recent evidence now also establishes Golgi-resident protein acyl transferase DHHC3 (GODZ) as a key cancer regulator [4]. Elevated DHHC3 expression was evident in malignant and metastatic breast cancer and in nearly all breast cancer subtypes, and analysis of TCGA data showed that zDHHC3 upregulation correlates with significantly diminished overall survival of patients with breast cancer [4]. Furthermore, ablation of zDHHC3 from human breast cancer cells caused a marked reduction in the sizes of both primary tumors and metastatic colonies in xenograft models [4]. DHHC3 levels are elevated not only in breast cancer, but also in colon and prostate cancer and elevated zDHHC3 expression correlated with diminished survival in patients with six other cancers besides breast cancer [4]. Also, zDHHC3 ablation led to markedly diminished prostate cancer growth in a xenograft model (our unpublished results). Together these results point to DHHC3 having a strong pro-tumor role in multiple cancers.


Lower trade barriers achieved through membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) carries many benefits for exporters. Although the literature is replete with articles that describe processes for developing an export marketing strategy, it has not been able to explain enormous deviations from expected outcomes we observe in practice. One such deviated outcome was how incumbent WTO members reacted to China's textile exports. Building on the case of exports of China's textile industry to the U.S., this research addresses this gap in the literature by proposing a conceptual model in developing an export marketing strategy to build stable trading relationships under the rules of the WTO. Directions for future research are highlighted within the context of the model.


This paper is about the access to education and information available for the prisoners of the Argentine penitentiary system. We discuss the meaning that prisoners give to education in the particular context of a jail and how these resources are used by the prisoners in their precarious life there.


Backward error recovery is one of the important techniques of software fault tolerance. Because of error propagation its recovery in distributed software needs cooperation between processes to achieve consistent recovery. However, the techniques of the achievement suffer from either concurrency level decreasing or the domino effect. Based on a formal model of the distributhed system, a backward recovery protocol without the two drawbacks is specified in this paper. The algorithm of the protocol is Woven strictly and its implementation is proposed.


The hose of the oxygen lancing equipment in LD shop # 2 has failed at the weld-bellows interface by reverse bending fatigue. The bending stresses were resulted due to inclined fitment of the hose at the fixed flange end. No metallurgical abnormalities or weld defects or mechanical damages were responsible for the fatigue crack initiation. It is recommended that if inclined fitment of the hose is not a process requirement, the original design be restored to realize the expected life of the component. On the other hand, if inclined fitment cannot be avoided, additional support may be provided for the hose at the fixed flange end to avoid reverse bending at the weld-bellows interface. A detailed analysis of the failure is presented in this report.


The Use of Aesthetics in a Comprehensive Art Curriculum By Michelle Lynn Loudermilk Committee Chairperson, Dr. Susan Power This study focuses on using aesthetics in the art education curriculum. It also suggests a variety of approaches through which art educators may implement aesthetics in the classroom. Discussions of aesthetics were found in writings of Plato and Aristotle and continue to this day. Philosophers have defined aesthetics as a theory of the beautiful. Educators took this idea a step further in developing curricula and methods of educating that include aesthetics. It has been said in art education literature that aesthetics gives those who practice it a more complete understanding of art. To show the extent of benefits that aesthetics can have in art education, examples of aesthetic experiences are reviewed and discussed. The aesthetics as a philosophy of art has developed into methods used in education. These methods will be discussed. Using the knowledge that aesthetics reveals will demonstrate the importance of art through comparative analysis and historical variation. Aesthetics provide important knowledge about art that can give a classroom teacher motivational dialogue and stimulating ideas in teaching art. Helping students to understand the connection between art and aesthetics allows students to know more about and better understand the importance of each.


The parable of the talents in Matt 25:14–30 has been often interpreted using either the lens of social identity or virtue ethics, respectively. However, a careful integrative analysis indicates the intrinsic interrelation of social identity and virtue in four aspects. Through such an integration of social identity and the notions of virtue and the good life, Matthew redefines social identity for the Matthean in-group from a social status to a virtue status, from the quantity of one's giftings to the quality of one's character, and from a mere sense of belonging to a pursuit of human flourishing through virtue.

The ethical power of the New Water Paradigm (NWP) is assessed using a capabilities approach and theory of strong sustainability. The concepts of strong vs. weak sustainability, natural capital, and ecosystem services are explained, and the Old Water Paradigm (OWP) is contrasted with ecological claims at the core of the NWP. The analysis suggests that the NWP should enhance the capacity of ecosystems to cope with stress, a key objective of sustainability; and it should promote social goals associated with strong sustainability by meeting basic capabilities. Nevertheless, effective implementation of sustainability using the NWP will depend upon political commitment and social participation.


A study on the antibiogram of Catfish from the Lake Kainji area of Nigeria was conducted. A Total of forty (40) fish samples were used for this study. Bacterial cultures obtained from the skin of twenty Clarias anguillaris and twenty Heterobranchus bidorsalis were subjected to microbial analysis. The antibiotic sensitivity tests using seven antibiotics revealed that all the five isolates viz: Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Aeromonas aureus, Bacillus firmus, Klebsiella aerogines and Streptococcus iniae were only sensitive to clofuraxine and conflux. Aeromonas aureus and Pseudomonas aeroginosa were sensitive to streptomycin, while Streptococcus iniae was less sensitive to streptomycin, but sensitive to conflux and neocloxin. Streptococcus faciaus and Bacillusfirmus were sensitive to neocloxin while all were resistant to oxytetracycline. Hence clofuraxin and conflux could be recommended for the treatment of fish diseases associated with these microorganisms due to their antimicrobial activity in this study.

The daily activity rhythm of 9 pairs of adult Yangtze vole was studied under seminatural conditions from Apr. to Jul. in 1999. Ten times of observations were made. Both in the daytime and at night, the animals showed active behaviors out of nest and exhibited two activity peaks around the time period of sunrise and sunset respectively. The out-nest activity level at night was conspicuously higher than that in the daytime. There were no significant differences in the amount of time on feeding and drinking for animals between daytime and night. The mean activity amounts of out-nest, feeding and drinking of females were(10*!850±3*!510), (1*!103±643) and (960±504) seconds, and which of males were (11*!423±6*!059), (1*!293±733) and (1*!201±561) seconds respectively;the average frequencies of enter-exiting nest, feeding and drinking of females were (68.6±36.2), (11.8±5.9) and (15.6±5.7) times, and which of males are (47.6±19.0), (8.9±4.1) and (15.3±6.1) times respectively;there are no significant differences in the amounts and frequencies of the three activities between males and females. In addition, there were (10.442±5.249) hours male and female cohabit in a same nest.


In China, there is a phenomenon of uneven development in different regions of the same urban. These uneven developments lead to health inequality. Base on Fuzhou, China, this article analyzes the uneven distribution of urban resources in different areas in Fuzhou, includes the uneven distribution of hospitals, the uneven distribution of parks, and the uneven distribution of education resources. Through the analysis, this article draws a conclusion that the uneven distribution of urban resources eventually leads to the occurrence of health inequality in different areas of the urban. These factors are directly or indirectly related to people's health and affect people's physical or mental health.


Anticoagulation treatment reduces the risk of stroke but increases the risk of bleeding in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. There is little data on survival after a stroke or a severe bleed.

 To analyze 90-day mortality in AF patients after an ischemic stroke, an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) or a gastrointestinal bleed (GIB) and assess associations with the type of antithrombotic treatment preceding the event.

 From the Stockholm Healthcare database (n=2.3 million inhabitants) we selected all AF patients suffering from an ischemic stroke, an intracranial bleed, or a severe GIB requiring acute hospital care between July 2011 and August 2018 and assessed 90-day mortality rates. We assessed current use of warfarin, non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC), or antiplatelet agents at the time of the event. We used a Cox regression to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs), adjusting for components of the Charlson Comorbidity Index, the CHADsVASc score, the HAS-BLED score, comedication, and year of inclusion, for the association between treatment preceding the event and mortality. In addition, we performed log-rank tests in propensity score matched cohorts.

 Of 105 313 patients with AF, 6 017 were included after an ischemic stroke, 3 006 after an ICH, and 4 291 after a GIB. 90-day mortality rates were 25.1%, 31.6% and 16.2%, respectively. Patients suffering from an ischemic stroke were the oldest at 81.6±9.8 (S.D:) years of age followed by patients suffering from an ICH (80.2±9.8 years) or a GIB (78.7±10.5 years). A large proportion of patients suffering ischemic stroke (72%) had no anticoagulant treatment preceding the event. After ICH, there was a significantly increased risk of mortality in warfarin compared to NOAC treated patients after adjusting for confounders (aHR: 1.36 CI: 1.04–1.78). Patients receiving antiplatelets or no treatment had significantly higher mortality rates than patients on NOAC treatment, both after an ischemic stroke and a GIB, but there was no significant difference between warfarin and NOACs (aHR 0.84 CI: 0.63–1.12 after ischemic stroke, aHR 0.91 CI: 0.66–1.25 after GIB). Propensity score matched analyses yielded similar results.
 Survival curves after event

 Mortality rates are high in AF patients suffering from an ischemic stroke, an ICH, or a GIB. NOAC treatment was associated with a lower 90-day mortality after ICH than warfarin, but no such difference was found after ischemic stroke or GIB. After ischemic stroke and GIB, mortality rates were higher in antiplatelet treated and untreated patients compared to NOAC treated patients.

In the course of our screening program to find substances with antiauxin activity among metabolites of phytopathogenic fungi, we noticed that a culture broth of Colletotrichum lagenarium, causative of anthracnose diseases in cucurbitaceous plants, counteracted the action of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) applied to Arena coleoptile segments. In this paper we wish to report the isolation and identification of 2-pyruvoylaminobenz amide (I) in the culture filtrate of the fungus as well as the biological activity of this com


This work investigates the advantages of a multi-stage supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) reactor over a single-stage configuration in treating dimethylformamide (DMF), a model compound representing nitro-organic wastewaters. Single-stage SCWO of complex wastewaters was also investigated.

A PFR rig was designed and constructed to investigate reactor temperature, initial DMF concentration, stoichiometric ratio, residence time and oxidant distribution effects on component yields. Reaction temperature was the critical variable for treatability; T>500\(^0\)C caused near-complete DMF/TOC removal at relatively short residence times (approx. 6 s). DMF SCWO displayed Arrhenius-type kinetics, and the DMF (1) and O\(_2\) (0.36) reaction orders, activation energy (140 kJ mol\(^-\)\(^1\)) and pre-exponential factor (1x10\(^1\)\(^2\) M\(^0\)\(^.\)\(^3\)\(^6\) s\(^-\)\(^1\)) were evaluated.

Certain injection configurations resulted in higher TOC removals than single-stage, particularly when the second injection occurred at 0.5L and delivered 50 – 67% of the oxidant, although ammonia yield exceeded those in single-stage SCWO at these points. Single-stage SCWO outperformed a small number of configurations.

T>500\(^0\)C was shown to be suitable to treat complex wastes. Complete conversion of TOC to products likely occurs within 10\(^2\) s. It was seen that TOC value alone may not be a suitable input when attempting to determine treatability in SCWO and that composition must also be considered.

Spatiotemporal sparseness is generated naturally by human visual system based on artificial neural network modeling of associative memory. Sparseness means nothing more and nothing less than the compressive sensing achieves merely the information concentration. To concentrate the information, one uses the spatial correlation or spatial FFT or DWT or the best of all adaptive wavelet transform (cf. NUS, Shen Shawei). However, higher dimensional spatiotemporal information concentration, the mathematics can not do as flexible as a living human sensory system. The reason is obviously for survival reasons. The rest of the story is given in the paper.

In the pediatric age group, OAT are extremely rare and less than 20 cases have been reported. Herein we report the clinical presentation and follow up of 3 non-related children with Li-Fraumeni syndrome with a germline TP53 pathogenic variant (PV) (p.R337H) who developed secreting OAT. Case 1. A 19 month old male presented with moon face, weight gain, irritability and pubic hair (Tanner stage P3) for over 4 months. He had no family history of neoplasms and his parents were unrelated to each other. Hormonal data revealed serum cortisol 33 mcg/dL with a suppressed ACTH. Testosterone was elevated (242 ng/dL - RR <12 ng/dL) with low plasma gonadotropins. Androstenedione 3,08 (RR<0,5ng/mL). Abdominal CT revealed a left adrenal tumor (5.0 x 4.4 x 4.0cm). He underwent a left laparoscopic adrenalectomy and histopathologic analysis confirmed OAT Wieneke score 2/9. Immunohistochemistry was positive for inhibin, p53 and Ki67 (10-15%). The postoperative clinical course was uneventful. The TP53 p.R337H PV was inherited from his father. He is now prepubertal and there is no evidence of relapse in 14 months of monitoring. Case 2. An 18 month old female presented with acne, clitoromegaly, pubic hair (Tanner stage 2), axillary odor, axillary hair and weight gain. Hormonal study showed elevated total testosterone of 624.7 ng/dL, androstenedione, DHEA-S and prepubertal gonadotropins. 17OHP and cortisol were normal. Abdominal CT confirmed a heterogeneous solid nodule of 5.5 x 4.5 x 3.7 cm in the right adrenal topography. The patient underwent a right adrenalectomy and OAT was identified by histopathology (Wieneke score 3/9). Immunohistochemistry was positive for p53, inhibin and Ki67 (30%). The TP53 p.R337H PV was inherited from her mother. She had remission of secondary sexual characteristics and he is now prepubertal. Case 3. A 2 years and 8 months old girl was referred with precocious pubarche and clitoromegaly (2,6cm). She had a right flank palpable mass and tanner 1 breasts. Hormonal studies showed elevated testosterone (70ng/dL), androstenedione (3.81ng/mL) and DHEA-S (13490ng/mL), with LH 0.3IU/L and FSH 3.4IU/L. The cortisol after DST was 5.8mcg/dL and ACTH was suppressed. Abdominal MRI revealed a 5 cm tumor at the right adrenal gland. She underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The histopathologic analysis revealed an OAT Wieneke score 1/9. Immunohistochemistry was positive for p53 and Ki67 (13%). The TP53 p.R337H PV was inherited from her father. Conclusion: Although rare, functional OATs have been reported in children. Herein we describe the first patients with the TP53 p.R337H PV to present with OATs. These are the youngest cases of OAT published so far. The clinical presentation, hormonal data and follow-up were not different from those of other pediatric adrenal tumors. So far there is no evidence of disease relapse during follow-up. Presentation: Friday, June 16, 2023


The Guesswork problem was originally motivated by a desire to quantify computational security for single user systems. Leveraging recent results from its analysis, we extend the remit and utility of the framework to the quantification of the computational security for multi-user systems. In particular, assume that V users independently select strings stochastically from a finite, but potentially large, list. An inquisitor who does not know which strings have been selected wishes to identify U of them. The inquisitor knows the selection probabilities of each user and is equipped with a method that enables the testing of each (user, string) pair, one at a time, for whether that string had been selected by that user. Here we establish that, unless U = V , there is no general strategy that minimizes the distribution of the number of guesses, but in the asymptote as the strings become long we prove the following: by construction, there is an asymptotically optimal class of strategies; the number of guesses required in an asymptotically optimal strategy satisfies a large deviation principle with a rate function, which is not necessarily convex, that can be determined from the rate functions of optimally guessing individual users' strings; if all user's selection statistics are identical, the exponential growth rate of the average guesswork as the string-length (


In this paper, we propose a method for character type classification based on a probabilistic topic model. The topic model is originally developed for topic discovery in text analysis using bag-of-words representation. Recent studies have shown the model is also useful for image analysis. We adopt the probabilistic topic model for character type classification. In our method, character type classification is carried out by classifying image patches based on their topic proportions. Since the performance of the method depends on a visual vocabulary generated by image feature extraction, we compare several feature extraction and description methods, and examine the relations to classification performance. In addition, by extending the method, we propose a coarse-to-fine approach to achieve stable character type classification for a small image patch. For that purpose, firstly, we partition an image into several patches which contain enough information to estimate the model parameters via EM algorithm. Then, each patch is subdivided into smaller patches. Estimation on the small patch is carried out by MAP-technique with a prior reflecting topic proportion of its parent patch. Through the experiments, we show accurate character type classification is made possible by the probabilistic topic model.


The present study reports a feasible approach of fabricating shape memory composite foams with an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) based on polyurethane (PU) and shape memory epoxy resin (SMER) via a simultaneous polymerization technique. The PU component is capable of constructing a foam structure and the SMER is grafted on the PU network to offer its shape memory property in the final IPN foams. A series of IPN foams without phase separation were produced due to good compatibility and a tight chemical interaction between PU and SMER components. The relationships of the geometry of the foam cell were investigated via varying compositions of PU and SMER. The physical property and shape memory property were also evaluated. The stimulus temperature of IPN shape memory composite foams, glass temperature (Tg), could be tunable by varying the constituents and Tg of PU and SMER. The mechanism of the shape memory effect of IPN foams has been proposed. The shape memory composite foam with IPN developed in this study has the potential to extend its application field.

A fast-compression experiment in spindle cusp geometry is performed on plasma pre-ionized and pre-heated to above 10/sup 5/ deg K by colliding shock waves. Two 22-cm-diameter coils are used with a 1-Mj capacitor bank to give peak magnetic fields of 100 kilogauss or more rising in 18 mu s and, in clamped circuit, decaying with a time constant of 250 to 400 mu s. Two forms of instability associated with acceleration during the compression phase are observed at high initial densities in hydrogen or with heavy gases. At lower pressures in hydrogen stable compression occurs. A comparison between the experimental results and theories of cusp systems is described. (auth) the m netic field in the magnetic slits is 4500 gauss. Experim ts are carried out with a residual gas pressure of 2

HighlightsNanoporous superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated using electrochemical etching and Teflon coating.Adhesion of Listeria monocytogenes to the nanoengineered stainless steel surfaces was reduced.Self-cleanable food-contact surfaces prevent bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation.Abstract. Bacterial attachment on solid surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation is a significant problem in the food industry. Superhydrophobic surfaces have potential to prevent bacterial adhesion by minimizing the contact area between bacterial cells and the surface. In this study, stainless steel-based superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated by manipulating nanostructures with electrochemical etching and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film. The formation of nanostructures on stainless steel surfaces was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The stainless steel surfaces etched at 10 V for 5 min and at 10 V for 10 min with PTFE deposition resulted in average water contact angles of 154° ±4° with pore diameters of 50 nm. In addition, adhesion of Listeria monocytogenes was decreased by up to 99% compared to the bare substrate. These findings demonstrate the potential for the development of antibacterial surfaces by combining nanoporous patterns with PTFE films. Keywords: Electrochemical etching, PTFE, Nanoengineered surface, L. monocytogenes, Superhydrophobic.


This paper introduces an effective way to build
efficient miniature SIW (Substrate Integrated Waveguide) Cband
filters, using high-permittivity ceramics. The objective is to
evaluate the feasibility of such filters in relation with commercial
electromagnetic simulators and a conventional fabrication
process. The solution proposed in this paper is based on a
ceramic substrate with a permittivity of 90, which allowed us to
work with shorter wavelengths. In comparison with a standard
alumina substrate (permittivity er = 9.9), it makes it possible to
reduce the footprint up to nine times.


The Gems and Jewellery sector is witnessing changes in consumer preferences due to the adoption of western lifestyles. Consumers are demanding new designs and varieties in jewellery, and branded jewellers are able to fulfil their changing demands better than the local unorganised players. Moreover, increase in per capita income has led to an increase in sales of jewellery, as jewellery is a status symbol in India. In this paper, a modest attempt has been made to study the Composition, Direction and Dynamics of Gems & Jewellery Exports in India and recent developments. Data were collected from Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council. Now we have a number one in Gems & Jewellery, not only "Make in India" but "Designed in India" jewellery in the world.


Improve the dialing mechanism on the foundation of the available far-infrared dryer for vegetable's part transposition of chain boards can't cross the board on schedule and even drop. It was concluded by experiments that the rate of the improved dialing mechanism can make the front and back chain board change position from right to left attain 99.47% and the dropping reduce to 0, so making the dropping smoothly. Ensure the position of the dialing mechanism by using the mechanism adjusting the distance. Using dialing mechanism, the angle of the bearing and chain wheel is 135°, and the distance between bearing and chain wheel is 0 or less than 0.


Objectives: BCG vaccine is the only virtual vaccine that has significantly helped control tuberculosis for 80 years. Bacteria naturally release extracellular vesicles (EVs) in different environments during the growth process. The use of extracellular vesicles is an alternative way to transfer ligands that are detected by host cells. Vesicles range in size from 50 nm to 250 nm in diameter and contain phospholipids, proteins, and lipopolysaccharides, and can carry additional factors such as toxins, adhesive, or immune system compounds that are important in pathogens. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate these compounds as adjuvants or candidates for the bovine tuberculosis vaccine. Methods: In the present study, Mycobacterium bovis standard CRBIP7.121 was used. Extraction of membrane vesicles after mass culture was performed by a method based on ultracentrifugation and deoxycholate. After preparation and staining, the vesicles were examined by electron microscopy. Sample analysis was also performed by SDS-PAGE. The presence of LPS in the sample was measured by the LAL test. In addition, the harmlessness of bacterial EVs and the absence of any toxic agents in the sample were confirmed by pyrogenic tests in rabbits. Results: The protein content of membrane vesicles is equal to 1.25 and 1.32 mg/ml. In SDS-page evaluation, bands of 35, 40, 50, and 70 kDa were observed and then membrane vesicles were observed and confirmed by electron microscopy. The amount of vesicle toxin contained by the LAL test was reported in the permissible range. Conclusions: Discussion of the data obtained from the above research shows that at different stages of the purification process, EVs fully retained their spatial and natural form and lacked impurities. Therefore, due to the importance of external vesicles in developing immune responses, EVs extracted from M. bovis CRBIP7.121 can be considered a useful and effective immunogen against Mycobacterium infections.


When solving inverse modeling problems (including emission sources identification problems), measurement operators link variables of the mathematical model of the considered processes with the measured values. Along with linear measurement operators (e.g. in situ point measurements of concentrations, integral measurements in time, total column measurements, etc.), nonlinear measurement operators are also used in air quality assessment and forecasting problems. In particular, such operators arise in remote sensing data processing. The objective of the work is to demonstrate the extension of the approach based on sensitivity operators and adjoint ensembles to the inverse problems with nonlinear measurement operators.


The invention relates to an AGV optimization scheduling method based on mixed particle swarm optimization. First of all, a mathematics model is abstracted from the work process of an AGV, and an object function of a scheduling scheme is determined, and secondly, the model is solved by use of the mixed particle swarm optimization based on a genetic algorithm, a stimulated annealing algorithm and ant colony optimization, and an optimization scheduling scheme is generated. According to the invention, a contrast analysis is made between the mixed particle swarm optimization and standard particle swarm optimization through examples, and the variation operation of the mixed optimization employs an ant colony optimization thinking mode, ensures intersection of individual best and group best in an intersection operation process, ensures the feasibility of the mixed particle swarm optimization and has the validity for solving large-scale scheduling tasks.

population of chirping crickets. This led to work with his Ph.D. supervisor on network connectivity and a major joint paper: D. J. Watts and S. H. Strogatz, &dquo;Collective dynamics of 'small-world' networks&dquo;, Nature, 1998, 393, 440-442. This paper has since stimulated an explosion of interest and hundreds of other papers and articles. A good reason for the explosion is the tremendous range of networks to which the ideas can be applied in communications, disease, transport, etc. This book appeared first in hardback in 1999.

Low temperature molten salts based on ionic liquids have received considerable attention over the last 3 decades as potential alternative solvents for aluminium reduction. Recent reports in the literature have identified 1-propyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide ([C 3 mpip][NTf 2 ]) as a promising candidate for low temperature aluminium reduction processes. The formation of aluminium metal deposition was confirmed in these studies by both visual inspection and SEM-EDX analysis in the selected mixtures with AlCl 3 , but little is known about the anodic processes occurring in the cell. This work presents the results of a preliminary electrochemical study of the anodic and cathodic reactions occurring in the ionic liquid mixtures 1-propyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C 3 mpip][NTf 2 ]) with AlCl 3 at different temperatures, concentrations and electrode materials. Analysis of voltammetric responses of [C 3 mpip][NTf 2 ]-[AlCl 3 ] x for x=0.3 indicated that the anodic process is limited by mass transport for this particular electrolyte composition. In addition, the formation of Cl 2 was confirmed to take place at a dimensionally stable anode. Aluminium deposition experiments gave inconsistent results however and gas analysis indicated that the [C 3 mpip][NTf 2 ]-[AlCl 3 ] x mixture at a prolonged elevated temperature at least partially decomposes into fluoro-carbons and chloro-compounds.


Context. Colors are usually not used for constraining stellar populations because they are thought to have the well- known agemetallicity degeneracy, but some recent works show that colors can also be used. A simple stellar population synthesis model is widely used, but there is no analysis for its colors. Aims. We try to find colors that can potentially be used to determine the age and metallicity of stellar populations by the standard model. Methods. Principal component analysis and relative sensitive parameter techniques are used in this work. Results. U- K, U- H, U- J, B- K, B- H, U- I, B- J, and V- K are found to be more important for studying populations than others. Pairs of colors such as B- K and B- V are found to be able to disentangle the stellar age- metallicity degeneracy via the high- resolution model, while pairs such as U - K and R - I may be used instead when the low- resolution model is used. Furthermore, the u - g and r - i colors of the low- resolution model seem to have the same potential, but there are no such colors for the high- resolution one. Conclusions. Some colors have been shown to have the potential to determine the age and metallicity of stellar populations, but relative metallicity and age sensitivities of colors in different stellar population synthesis models are usually different. In addition, minor star formations will make star systems look younger and more metal rich than their dominating populations.


Karst landscape is a general term for earth surfaces and underground patterns that have been formed by the dissolution of soluble rock. Karst landscapes are widely distributed throughout China—particularly in the Guangxi and Guangdong provinces. The main features of karst landscapes are typically reflected in karst caverns, sinkholes, and other geographical phenomena. During tunnel construction in karst areas, various forms of karst caverns may appear on the construction route, and they can cause hazards—such as water inrush and collapse—during tunnel construction. These hazards affect the tunnel construction process. As such, it is necessary to propose a treatment for karst caverns. In this work, a case study of the tunnels on the Hechi-Baise expressway is presented. A comprehensive pretreatment method suitable for this tunnel is proposed. On the premise of prioritizing the safety and timeline of construction, an optimized treatment scheme for the karst caverns of Hebai tunnel is followed. The optimized treatment scheme primarily includes calculation of safe thickness of tunnel face, strengthening the initial support and increasing the thickness of the second lining, increasing the reserved deformation, and grouting. The proposed scheme achieved favorable results in the treatment of a karst cavern in the Hebai tunnels.

The conclusion is that some reasonable suggestions and Effective measures should be put forward to promote and perfect Part-time employment.


Based on an understanding of evaluation as a development process, this study outlines the current debate on evaluation of vocational education and training (VET) in Europe. It defines and explains the criteria used for this exercise and applies them to a number of selected case studies from different EU programmes (NARIC network evaluation under Socrates, assessments of Phare VET programme case studies in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia and evaluation of Leonardo da Vinci I). Findings are then summarised with special emphasis on the instruments, tools, procedures and outputs used across different audiences and themes. Programmes in central and eastern European countries (CEECs) where the authors have most experience, are used to analyse the evaluation capacities and procedures in place. The analysis considers the flaws and potential of the selected evaluation exercises and their impact on policies. Finally, a future research agenda and policy recommendations identify gaps in knowledge and the challenges for research in evaluating VET.

The key objective of this paper is to provide an idea for VLSI Implementation of RLS algorithm for noise cancellation with real time analog inputs. In this paper, we present an efficient architecture for the implementation of distributed arithmetic based multiplier less adaptive filter. The throughput rate of update and concurrent implementation of filtering and weightupdate operations. The conventional adder-based shift accumulation for DA-based inner product reduce the sampling period and area complexity. The proposed implementation significantly outperforms the existing implementations in terms of three important key metrics. The least mean squares (LMS) algorithms adjust the filter coefficients to minimize the cost function. Compared to least mean squares (LMS) algorithms adjust the filter coefficients to minimize the cost function. Compared to least mean squares algorithms, the RLS algorithms achieve faster Convergence by variable step size. Proposed RLS algorithm require fewer computational resources and memory than the LMS algorithms. The implementation of the algorithms is less complicated due to DA based approach than the all other existing algorithms. Through MATLAB simulation experiments efficiency of RLS over LMS will be proved. The implementation results show that the proposed algorithm as superior performance in fast convergence rate, low complexity, and has superior performance in noise cancellation.


Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a neurodevelopmental disorder that manifests itself and continues during the disorder's course with symptoms of inadequacies in social interaction and communication, limited and repetitive behaviors and limited interests. It was stated that the burden and fatigue stemming from the long-term care of the child, changing family roles and routines, difficulties encountered during diagnosis and access to services, getting insufficient information about the diagnosis, the need for information to access appropriate education and rehabilitation services and the economic burden caused by satisfying this need, and the difficulties in participating in social life account for burnout in parents of children with ASD. The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parental burnout, and the perceived social support level of parents of children with ASD and their satisfaction level from this support. In addition to this main purpose, (a) the relationship between parental burnout level, and the ages of the children with ASD, the time since diagnosis and parental age, and (b) whether there is a difference in the parental burnout level according to parental education level and gender were examined in the study. Data was collected from the parents of 296 children who met the criteria for participation in the study using the Participant Information Form, Parental Burnout Scale and Revised Parental Social Support Scale. The study results revealed that there was a weak and moderate negative relationship between perceived social support and parental burnout.


The purpose of this review was to present modern studies that examine the relationship of physical activity and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) development and the impact of cardiac rehabilitation programs in patients with all forms of AF. Data of 52 Russian and foreign scientific sources published in 1998- 2020 were presented. In our study, 48 patients with paroxysmal AF after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) were randomly assigned to a physical rehabilitation/standard therapy or control (standard therapy) group. Aerobic physical training was conducted for 6 months 3 times a week. AF is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Despite modern advances, results of treatment of this disease are far from optimal. Many problems of patients with AF can be addressed through enrolment in multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation programs. But this question remains open. This is mainly due to the complexity of selection of physical rehabilitation program for patients with AF. It is known that physical activity can trigger an episode of AF. In the following review article, the approaches to functional capacity assessment of patient with AF are described, recommendations for prescribing safe exercise training to achieve a therapeutic effect are presented. Various aspects of the effects of physical rehabilitation are discussed, including its impact on cardiovascular risk factors, influence on atrial remodeling processes and associated biomarkers, prevention of AF progression and occurrence of cardiovascular complications. Results of our own research indicate effectiveness of physical training in patients with AF after RFA: increase in exercise duration by 18.6% (p<0.001) and load by 24.8% (p<0.01) during exercise test, increase in level of everyday physical activity by 23.8% (p=0.001); left atrium dimensions remain stable comparing with control group. That was combined with a decrease of post ablation atrial arrhythmias: after 6 months, they were registered in 4.5% of trained patients vs 17.4% of control group patients (p<0.01). Steady growth in the number of patients with AF and catheter ablation procedures around the world dictates the need for organization of multi-purpose medical rehabilitation.


This article analyzes the social and emotional function that public rogations had in the Villa de la Candelaria de Medellin between 1779 and 1825. It draws from some historiographical considerations, such as the lack of systematic and detailed research about this topic in the New Kingdom of Granada and specifically of Medellin, and the need for expanding the spectrum of understanding about the popular culture and religiosity in this town between the colonial period and the early years of the republic. The period corresponds to the years in which archive records show the highest number of rogations celebrated since the foundation of the Village in 1675 until its transformation into a city in the decade around 1830. Taking the concept of ritual, the objective is to understand the articulation between the festive atmosphere, the divinities called on and the local and external circumstances of the town. To serve this purpose, the text is divided into three sections that present the types of rogations made in the period. In addition to some tables distributed throughout the text, at the end, three graphics are shown which allow a better understanding of the rituals celebrated, the time when they took place, the reasons for them and the divinities that received the entreaties. This article concludes that rogations were essential for facing collective adversities and for revealing emotions in the face of diverse events. They were, therefore, celebrations true of a "functional religiosity".


PCMBS (p-chloromercuric-phenyl sulphonic acid), labeled with /sub 203/Hg was used to determine -SH containing peptides formed after irradiation of HeLa cells. Sulphydryl groups of peptides bind firly and specifically with PCMBS and the labeled compound bound to the -SH containing cell components was separated from unbound PCMBS on the basis of molecular size by Sephadex chromatography. Comparison of control and irradiated cell components showed very few qualitative differences, but significant quantitative differences were observed in the amino acid composition of the low-molecular-weight components separated on the G25 column. Very large increases in aspartic and glutamic acids, threonine, serine, and alanine were observed after irradiation. Studies of -SH components separated by G100 Sephadex showed that a redistribution of -SH had occurred after irradiation and that components formed were probably smaller than 5000 in m.w. The use of G25 columns demonstrated that most -SH components had a molecular weight within range of a few hundred, probably 100 to 400. G10 column fractionations confirmed the existence of small di- or tripeptides in addition to cysteine itself. (UK)


It is often assumed that important others can play significant roles in reducing stress among athletes. However, little attention has been given to (a) what specifically these important others say or do to reduce stress (empathize vs. motivate), and (b) how prevalent various types (positive vs. negative) of interactions are. This investigation attempted to fill this void. In-depth retrospective interviews were conducted with athletes who experienced burnout (n = 10) or season-ending injuries (n = 21). Inductive analysis revealed that athletes' evaluations of the specific behaviors of important others tended to vary according to the stress (burnout vs. injury) experienced. Additionally, frequency analysis revealed that athletes described their interactions with important others as negative more often than as positive. The findings are discussed in relation to current conceptualizations of social interactions.


We consider an M/G/1 queueing system with policy and multiple vacation policy simultaneously.The server will end the vacation if either condition of them is satisfied.We call this Min(N,V)-policy.In this paper,we get some performance measures of a M/G/1 queueing system under Min(N,V)-policy,such as steady-state queue length and the probability distribution of busy period.And by first using the method of conditional waiting time,we derive the LST of the steady-state waiting time.Meanwhile,we give an example of the model in application.Finally,we point out that the queueing model in this paper is the extension of the models that have been studied.


Receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand (RANKL) is a TNF‐like cytokine which mediates diverse physiological functions including bone remodeling and immune regulation. RANKL has been identified in atherosclerotic lesions; however, its role in atherosclerotic plaque development remains elusive. An enhancer located 75 kb upstream of the murine Rankl gene's transcription start site designated D5 is important for its calciotropic hormone‐ and cytokine‐mediated expression. Here, we determined the impact of RANKL levels in atherosclerotic plaque development in the D5 enhancer‐null (D5−/−) mice in an atherogenic Apoe−/− background fed a high‐fat diet (HFD). Rankl mRNA transcripts were increased in aortic arches and thoracic aortae of Apoe−/− mice; however, this increase was blunted in Apoe−/−;D5−/− mice. Similarly, higher Rankl transcripts were identified in splenic T lymphocytes in Apoe−/− mice, and their levels were reduced in Apoe−/−;D5−/− mice. When analyzed by micro‐computed tomography (µCT), atherosclerotic plaque calcification was identified in six out of eight Apoe−/− mice, whereas only one out of eight Apoe−/−;D5−/− mice developed plaque calcification after 12 weeks of HFD. However, following 18 weeks of HFD challenge, all of Apoe−/− and Apoe−/−;D5−/− animals developed atherosclerotic plaque calcification. Likewise, atherosclerotic lesion sizes were site‐specifically reduced in the aortic arch of Apoe−/−;D5−/− mice at initial stage of atherosclerosis and this effect was diminished as atherosclerosis proceeded to a more advanced stage. Our data suggest that deletion of the RANKL D5 enhancer delays the progression of atherosclerotic plaque development and plaque calcification in hypercholesterolemic mice. This work provides important insight into RANKL's regulatory role in atherosclerosis. J. Cell. Biochem. 118: 4240–4253, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Today, the United States is confronted by a seemingly similar scenario, in which the anxieties of millions of Americans have been aroused by adversaries who threaten them at home as well as overseas [3]. And once again, a U.S. senator is pandering to those anxieties. On January 10, 2017, Ted Cruz (R.-Tex.) introduced legislation, the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, that would require the U.S. secretary of state to investigate and report back to Congress as to why the Brotherhood should not be designated a foreign terrorist organization [4] (FTO). Meanwhile, the Trump White House is reported to be considering punitive executive action against activities and organizations within the United States deemed to be tied to the Brotherhood.


PURPOSE
To analyze the performance of children without alteration of central auditory processing in the Time-compressed Speech Test.

METHODS
This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study. Study participants were 22 children aged 7-11 years without central auditory processing disorders. The following instruments were used to assess whether these children presented central auditory processing disorders: Scale of Auditory Behaviors, simplified evaluation of central auditory processing, and Dichotic Test of Digits (binaural integration stage). The Time-compressed Speech Test was applied to the children without auditory changes.

RESULTS
The participants presented better performance in the list of monosyllabic words than in the list of disyllabic words, but with no statistically significant difference. No influence on test performance was observed with respect to order of presentation of the lists and the variables gender and ear. Regarding age, difference in performance was observed only in the list of disyllabic words.

CONCLUSION
The mean score of children in the Time-compressed Speech Test was lower than that of adults reported in the national literature. Difference in test performance was observed only with respect to the age variable for the list of disyllabic words. No difference was observed in the order of presentation of the lists or in the type of stimulus.


The comet assay using plant nuclei isolated from different plant species was proved to be a promising tool for genotoxicity assay. The plant nuclei isolated from the roots or the leaves of Vicia faba,Spinacia oleracea,Allium cepa,Phaseolus vulgaris,Allium sativum,and Oryza sativa were used in the comet assay to detect DNA damage induced by H2O2. After electrophoresis the nuclei from plants treated with H2O2 showed a large number of DNA strand breaks and appeared as clear comets whereas the control nuclei appeared nearly circular or with only slight comet tails. The comet assay using plant materials could quantify DNA damages in genotoxicity study of chemicals and chemical mixtures. The comet assay has been successful for Vicia faba,Spinacia oleracea,Allium cepa,Phaseolus vulgaris and Allium sativum,but had some problems for Oryza sativa. The use of comet assay has some limitations so a further study should be done to improve the method. In conclusion it was proved that the comet assay using plant nuclei is a fast,reliable,and inexpensive test as sensitive as the comet assay using animal cells to detect DNA strand breaks in some plants.


SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE Edited by Eileen Brooke. (Pp. 127; Sw. fr. 8.) World Health Organization: Geneva. 1974. The first part of this new WHO public health paper compares the procedures used in 24 countries for ascertaining deaths by suicide. Needless to say, national procedures are shown to differ considerably not only as regards who makes the decision whether an unnatural death is suicide, accident or indeterminate, his qualifications for the task, and the aids available to him in arriving at his decision; but also as to whether the findings are made public, and to whom the official is responsible. The point of the study, however, is to determine the extent to which these considerations influence decisions, and hence those sources which might account for the differences in national rates of suicide. A preliminary step in this direction is taken in the next section in which 20 Danish and 20 English cases were assessed by two or more of the responsible officials of eight countries. Thus 21 officials each assessed 40 cases, recorded their verdicts, and also rated the 'certainty' with which they made it, ranging from definitely suicide to definitely not. The cases were selected 'to provide for possible differences of opinion'. The more positive findings were: The medically qualified were more likely to give a verdict of suicide than the legally qualified; where few raters gave a verdict of suicide their average 'certainty' was lower than when the majority gave this verdict; and that opinions differed most between suicide or open verdict, and then between suicide or accident. The first conclusion drawn from their careful and detailed analysis of this selected sample of 40 difficult cases is a warranted one, namely that a wide range of factors related to the methods of deciding if a death is from suicide will influence suicide statistics. But the further conclusions that these factors alone might account for variations in suicide between countries; that 'only a very limited value can be placed on official rates' within countries; and that little is to be gained by theorizing about suicide using the statistical sources currently available are certainly not justified by their data or methods. They therefore seem rather unsatisfactory inferences to appear in a WHO publication; the World Health Statistical Reports are of proven practical and theoretical value, in spite of their known and accepted shortcomings. The question this part of the book is considering is whether thedifferencebetween countries' suicide rates reported by WHO are due to the different ascertainment procedures or to something else. The relevant point is not just how reliably the ascertaining is done but whether the differences in national rates can still be discerned when errors from these sources are allowed for. The authors do not appear to recognize this: they throw the statistics baby out with the ascertainment bath water. We learn about the extent of a problem such as suicide, about those most at risk, and obtain hints about its causes by observing differences between the rates of social, demographic and other groups. Some illustrations may be helpful: male suicide rates are higher than females in virtually all countries and at all times. This makes it highly probable that men really are more suicide prone than women, however the deaths are ascertained; and it raises the interesting question of why this should be. Explanatory hypotheses can be explored by delving further into WHO statistics to test predictions, and so on. Barraclough and I attempted to deal with the problem in another way; but our findings led to a very different conclusion from that of the WHO report, so I would like to compare the two (and also defend WHO suicide statistics). First, with respect to differences between nations: when the suicide rates of immigrants from eleven countries to the United States (and 18 to Australia) are ranked in order and then compared with the rank order of the rates of their countries of origin, we obtained correlations of between 0-8 and 0-9. The effects of reporting have been controlled because the immigrants are all assessed by the U.S. method of ascertainment while their countries of origin each employs its unique procedure. So when all suicides are recorded by two differing methods, the differences between countries' rates persist. Because suicide is under-reported, and very probably more so in some countries than in others, the 'lost' moiety is likely to be recorded as open verdicts or as deaths of undetermined cause. But when Barraclough compared the suicide rates of 18

A detailed study of ZrO2 as a candidate material for a protective layer of plasma display panels has been performed. The ion-induced electron emission coefficient γ and the firing voltage were measured for cubic, tetragonal, and monoclinic ZrO2 films. Different crystalline phases of ZrO2 showed a very small difference in the coefficient γ and the firing voltage. Compared to MgO, the coefficient γ was smaller and, as a result, the firing voltage was higher for ZrO2.

This paper presents a simulation scheme for water distribution systems based on loop flows algorithms. Water networks are large scale and non-linear systems. The operational control of such system has posed difficulties in the past to the human operator that had to take the right decisions, such as pumping more water or closing a valve, within a short period of time and quite frequently in the absence of reliable measurement information such as pressure and flow values. Computer simulations of such systems have alleviated these difficulties. They allowed 'what-if' scenarios to be run by the human operator, giving him the possibility to know in advance the operational problems that can arise in the real-life networks due to malfunctions of valves or burst in pipes. However, these computer simulations are generally relying on solving a system of equations and the nodal heads variables have been the most frequently used variables in these computer simulations. More recently, the numerical algorithms based on loo

Boundary value problems have long been of interest in the continuous differential equations context. However, with the advent of new areas like Nabla Fractional Calculus , we may consider such problems in new contexts. In this work, we will consider several right focal boundary value problems, involving a Caputo fractional difference operator, in the Nabla Fractional Calculus context. Properties of the Green's functions for each of these boundary value problems will be investigated and, in the case of a particular boundary value problem, used to establish the existence of positive solutions to a nonlinear version of the boundary value problem. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I'd like to thank my advisor, Dr. Allan C. Peterson, for all of his help over the years. He has provided incredible guidance, both as I transitioned into the area of Discrete Fractional Calculus and as I completed the research contained in the present work. The fantastic experience I had in the REU at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln under Dr. Peterson convinced me to attend UNL to pursue my Ph.D. Later after taking the course in Ordinary Differential Equations from him early in my graduate school career, I felt further encouraged to continue research with him. I have been incredibly lucky to have him as my Ph.D. advisor. Many thanks, as well, to the professors, graduate students, and staff in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Mathematics Department. Together these individuals have created a highly supportive environment for which I am grateful. In particular, I'd like to thank Dr. Lynn Erbe for his support, especially during research seminar and in his Ordinary Differential Equations course. Special thanks is due to Christina Edholm for her mathematical and moral support both in and outside the classroom; graduate school would not have been the same without her. Thanks also to James Carraher for his moral support. For helpful research discussions and feedback, thank you to Kevin Ahrendt. Lastly, thank you to my committee readers Dr. Richard Re-barber and Dr. Petronela Radu for your helpful suggestions and advice, and thank you to my other committee members Dr. Brian Harbourne and Dr. Vinodchandran Variyam. These individuals, along with many others in the UNL Mathematics Department, have provided immeasurable help over the last few years, and I could never hope to adequately thank them for all they have done for me.


The specific phenomenon that has been the principal stimulant of research on relative deprivation is the frequent discontinuity between objective and subjective well-being. Individuals' objective conditions (wealth, health, etc.) are, at best, imperfect predictors of their subjective satisfaction with their lives or situations. The insight provided by the construct of relative deprivation is that people evaluate their outcomes in relation to standards; when their outcomes fall below the standards, they feel "deprived." Thus, feelings of deprivation are relative ; that is, they imply a comparison with a standard. Most sociologists and psychologists who have studied relative deprivation have focused on one particular type of comparison standard, namely, the outcomes of other people. That is, social comparisons have constituted the central mechanism hypothesized to underlie the occurrence of relative deprivation (see Olson, Herman, & Zanna, 1986). For example, in the most influential model of personal relative deprivation, Crosby (1976) proposed that one necessary precondition of relative deprivation is the perception that another person possesses a desired object. Of course, other people's outcomes provide only one of many possible standards with which one's own outcomes could potentially be compared. For example, individuals could compare their current outcomes with their own outcomes in the past. Such temporal comparisons might yield dissatisfaction if past outcomes exceed current ones. Indeed, Gurr (1970) used the term decremental deprivation to refer to this situation, where decreasing outcomes over time yield anger.

In the performance of antenna measurements the antenna is usually placed over a large conducting screen. The assumption is then made that the measurements are in close agreement with those that would be obtained if the screen were of infinite size. Recent experimental work, however, indicates that the finiteness of the ground screen may influence the measurements to a considerable extent.It is therefore desirable to solve this problem theoretically in order to determine the extent of the change introduced by the use of a finite screen. This paper treats the problem of an antenna erected vertically in the center of a circular screen. An integral equation is obtained for the electric field in the plane of the screen, outside the screen. This equation is solved approximately by the use of a variational principle, and a formula is obtained for the change of antenna impedance as a function of the diameter of the screen.

This paper investigates the causal relationship between asset prices and per capita output across 50 US states and the District of Columbia over 1975 to 2012. A bootstrap panel Granger causality approach is applied on a trivariate VAR comprising of real house prices, real stock prices and real per capita personal income (proxying output), which allows us to account not only for heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, but also for interdependency between the two asset markets. Empirical results reveal the existence of a unidirectional causality running from both asset prices to output. This confirms the leading indicator property of asset prices for the real economy, while also substantiating the wealth and/or collateral transmission mechanism. Moreover, the absence of reverse causation from the personal income per capita to both housing and stock prices tend to suggest that non-economic fundamentals may have played an important role in the formation of bubbles in these markets.


Abstract Various reasons have been given concerning the need for job mobility as an essential aspect in a job career. Some of these reasons are: matching workers with the number of jobs available, increasing income, boosting status and achieving job satisfaction. In the present study, we examined job mobility among graduates from the University of Botswana in southern Africa. It was found that the number of job-changes was related to the number of years spent in government employment (graduates who had worked longer having changed jobs more frequently), and this aspect of job-change seemed to have enhanced job satisfaction; graduates who had their first employment in private companies were content to stay there whereas graduates who had started in government had a tendency to move out to positions in parastatal organizations or private companies. Upward job mobility occurred to a small extent only, and job stability was a more dominant factor in the working experience of graduates in Botswana. This phenom...


Human activity has led to degradation of the natural environment, with far-reaching impacts for society and the economy, sparking new conceptual framings for how people interact with, and depend upon, the environment. The bioeconomy and natural capital concepts both blend economics and natural sciences and propose new interdisciplinary, environmental sustainability framings. Despite this similarity, the two concepts are rarely applied together. This paper applies a natural capital lens to the bioeconomy at three different levels: environmental sustainability framings; experts' principles for a sustainable bioeconomy; and a case study of EU policy. We first construct an integrated cascade model that combines the unrealised potential of bioresources alongside unrecognised environmental services that tend to be systematically undervalued or ignored. Subsequently, we present five cornerstones identified from the sustainable bioeconomy-related literature from a natural capital perspective and highlight avenues of complementarity. The paper concludes with a policy case study of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy through a natural capital lens. There is evidence that the EU strategy has become increasingly aligned with the natural capital concept, but there is scope for further integration. The natural capital concept and related toolbox is an asset for the future bioeconomy to ensure it meets its environmentally sound and ecologically conscious objectives.


The present paper aimed to determine the necessity to study principles of metaphorical representation of objective reality to reveal common and differential nationally specific features of the cognitive consciousness of native speakers with different languages. This research was conducted in a semantic and cognitive approach helping to identify an ordered set of concepts in the public minds and their concept spheres through the investigation of semantics of linguistic signs. The main methods included the component analysis, the conceptual analysis, the contextual analysis, the etymological analysis, the cognitive analysis, and the metaphorical analysis. The analysis of problems indicated that the metaphorically redefined vocabulary of the semantic field of construction vocabulary formed a vast area of the conceptual worldview of speakers with English and Russian languages. Anthroposphere is the most frequent and productive cognitive goal of the metaphorical shift with construction vocabulary ? 91, 81%. We identified areas of regular and irregular metaphorical shifts indicating the potential of construction vocabulary in forming a fragment of the conceptual worldview of English and Russian speakers. Quantitative indices indicated the predominance of ontological and structural metaphors over orientational ones. The obtained results of research on the semantic field of construction vocabulary reflected an ordered and evident prototypical basis in the cognitive consciousness of native speakers. The method of investigating metaphorical shifts in this paper can be also based on materials of other concept spheres and semantic fields that represent them.

Chinese calligraphy generation is an important problem involved in many applications. Existing methods generally regard it as an image-to-image translation problem. However, existing models meet the challenge of poor generation performance for the Chinese calligraphy generation due to the lack of effective guided information. In this paper, we propose a novel model called CRA-GAN for the Chinese calligraphy generation through utilizing the contours of calligraphy characters as certain guided information and introducing a region-aware attention module to capture their content regions, motivated by the observation that the contour and content region provide certain delicate characteristics on the calligraphy style and content, respectively. Noticing that there is usually a large glyph difference between the source and target fonts, resulting in the degradation of model performance, we borrow the idea of adaptive pre-deformation from the literature to address this issue. A series of experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness of the suggested contour and region-aware attention, as well as the used adaptive pre-deformation operation. The outperformance of the proposed model over the state-of-the-art models is also demonstrated through extensive quantitative and qualitative comparisons over nine Chinese calligraphic font datasets.


There is a growing tendency toward the performance‐based design of tall buildings, where any assessment using response history analysis requires a set of ground motion (GM) records. This paper considering a tall building as a case study investigates how judgment on the seismic safety of the structure is affected by the use of recorded or spectrally matched GMs. Three model structures are developed: (a) using conventional design procedure of Chapter 12 of ASCE 7‐16; (b) adopting linear analysis requirements of Chapter 16 of ASCE 7‐16; (c) designing for service‐level design earthquake of Los Angles Tall Building Structural Design Council (LATBSDC) procedure. It is shown that all of the structures give acceptable performance when subjected to simulated GMs, although this is not the case for amplitude‐scaled GMs based on ASCE 7‐16 and LATBSDC. Finally, to have an objective assessment of performance, independent of GM types, incremental dynamic analysis is employed to derive fragility and mean annual rate of exceeding (MAR). Results show that for anticipated drifts at Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) level, the structures provide acceptable MAR at the fundamental period. However, for the higher modes including the second and third periods, MAR values become acceptable only at drifts as large as 0.085.


Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic nonsuppurative, destructive cholangitis, whose etiology is unknown. Morbidity arises early from pruritus and later from hypercholesterolemia with xanthoma formation. Therapy is supportive and directed at the complications of cholestasis. Plasmapheresis has been reported to benefit patients with hyperlipidemia and PBC; thus a pilot study of plasmapheresis utilizing the Haemonetics Model 30 with replacement by albumin and saline was conducted. Five patients (four female and one male) with a mean age of 43 (range 29–58) and a mean duration of illness of 9.5 years (range 6–21) with marked jaundice, xanthomas, xanthelasma, hepatomegaly, fatigability, anorexia, and pruritus, as well as mild nausea were studied. Peripheral neuropathy was present in two patients. Two patients had splenomegaly. Two patients had an associated Sjogren syndrome. All patients had high serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and cholesterol levels and mild elevations in aspartate amino transferase and alanine amino transferase activities. Immune complexes measured in four patients were present. Antimitochondrial antibody titers were significant in all patients. Patients underwent a mean of 63 plasmapheresis procedures over a mean of 112 weeks removing a mean of 94.7 liters of plasma. No serious toxicity was seen.


The nation-state is one powerful entity that makes race. For instance, the mid-twentieth-century South African apartheid racial state cultivated a triracial hierarchy through officially naming three groups into law: White, Black (native African), and Coloured, with Coloured being defined and situated in the "racial middle" as neither White nor Black African. Yet because race is a social construction that is adaptive and dynamic, the state's role in making race is also malleable and changing. This study offers a case study of how modern racial states re-make racial categories by focusing on the potential for re- or de-formation of the Coloured racial category since the end of apartheid in 1994 and 25 years into democracy. In conducting a critical race discourse analysis of official state forms and laws, the author finds that the post-apartheid nation-state challenges Coloureds' racial categorization and position in the racial middle. It does this by simultaneously supporting nonracialist (i.e., color-blind racist) strategies and rewriting Coloured as Black as a means for racial redress. Moreover, the author argues that contemporary South Africa practices coloured blindness through both de-formation and then re-making of the Coloured racial category, thus contributing to the potential shift to a dichotomous racial hierarchy. This project demonstrates how the racial middle can be re-made to uphold state racial projects transformed by changes in the sociopolitical context.

After 1803, the Lake Itasca region in Minnesota was visited every few years, apparently beginning with William Morrison in that year (Brower 1893). Beginning with Henry R. Schoolcraft in 1832, a series of travelers, journalists, and surveyers interested in the source of the Mississippi River, have left detailed accounts of their observations on the lake and its surroundings. From these, a fairly accurate and detailed picture may be drawn of the forests of Itasca State Park as they were before the establishment of the park in 1891 and the logging of portions of the park between 1902 and 1917. The single outstanding impression is that most of the park was burned over periodically during the nineteenth century, and that there is every reason to believe that periodic fires had been common in previous centuries. Garrison (1881) graphically describes the typical condition when he climbed a tree a quarter-mile south of Elk Lake in 1880 and wrote:

What constitutes a marginal field varies greatly but it is certain that extended time periods of low oil prices only magnify the challenges in developing such fields as it can stir even the largest reservoirs to go from commercially viable to marginal. E field is a marginal development project that must contend with all these unique set of challenges. For many years the project struggled to achieve minimum thresholds for funding. To develop the field during a low oil price market represented a cost-opportunity whilst presenting a value challenge. It is an extremely challenging thin oil rim reservoir development, under a complex and heterogenous geological environment, involving six long-to-extended reach wells in a loss-prone karstified carbonate.
 While the well planning and design built upon the Operator's considerable experience in carbonate and long reach drilling in the region, the campaign remained unique as the characteristic resided beyond the envelope of what had been accomplished before. The key distrincions were the much longer lateral length and the combined scope to target the thin oil rim in addition to the gas cap, which was the first-time application in this area. This is where technology played a vital part, as an enabler for delivering a complex project in a competitive manner.
 This paper briefly describes the planning stage of the campaign to ensure that the project was competitively scoped and delivered a fit-for-purpose solution, with focus on the technology implementation to address specific drilling challenges. Furthermore, it explains how a robust front-end loading, replication, and strong collaboration were key to making developable what was previously uneconomic.
