This study was aimed to review the trend of case reports of neuropsychiatry disease. The case reports were collected by retrieving Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry and analyzing period were from 1990 to 2010. We analyzed them for publish year, research institution, patients, sorts of diseases, pattern identification diagnosis, instrument, treatment period, sorts of treatments, and treatment with western medicine. We analyzed 142 case reports and there were many kinds of neuropsychiatry diseases and instruments that were evaluated the process. The reserchers used various treatment with oriental medicine. However, the number of case reports have decreased since the year of 2008. Most of the research institutions were university and general oriental medical hospital and the portion of private hospitals was only 2.11%. For the development of practical clinical trial of oriental medicine, we needs more qualifying case report. We hope more reserchers for psychiatry disease of oriental medicine will be interested in the publication of case report and this will serve to produce advance of oriental medicine.


The two-photon or two-step dissociation method of laser induced isotope enrichment is being modeled for the HBrNO photochemical system. In the model, H/sup 79/Br is selectively excited by resonance IR laser radiation and then dissociated by uv radiation. Selectively dissociated Br atoms are scavenged to form isotopically enriched BrNO and Br/sub 2/. This model includes all kinetic and absorption processes found to be significant and the time-varying concentrations of any species involved in a significant process. Among these processes are vibrational energy transfer reactions (including isotopic exchange) involving HBr v = 0 - 3, rotational and translational (velocity) relaxation processes, dissociation of HBr in the v = 0 - 3 levels, and secondary chemical reactions of the dissociation products. The absorption and kinetic processes that are most important to /sup 79/Br enrichment have been identified and the study of the effects on enrichment upon variation of external parameters (such as reactant pressure, ir or uv source intensity, and temperature) is in progress. Some preliminary results are: (1) intensity of the ir source is usually more important than the uv intensity; (2) chemical reactions are the dominant kinetic processes at lower pressures while energy transfer reactions dominate at higher pressures; (3)more » kinetic processes usually have greater effect on the absolute amount of enriched products; (4) isotopic abundance of /sup 79/Br in the products can range from 0.55 to 0.80 for the conditions used in the model.« less


Mesoeconomic research in relation to the construction sector is relatively undeveloped. The mesoeconomic analysis proposed takes into account all the participants involved in the production and management of construction structures: real estate managers, clients, designers, construction firms, material producers, participant institutions. The method of analysis, based on the concept of the economic mesosystem, defines the economic problem to be solved by construction, the structuring characteristics of construction, the importance of the existing stock of structures, the main groups of activity, the differentiated fragmentation of the mesosystem, the operational configurations of players, the institutional regulations. The method is applied to the French construction industry. The mesoeconomic approach proposed defines an analytical framework which is useful for international comparisons of construction sectors and may provide a step in the analysis of the principal problems of the sector: innovation, sustainable development, company strategy, productivity, data quality, etc.

G. Pye*, J. Shah, J. E. Harrison, (Liverpool University Dental Hospital). Aims: To determine the validity and reliability of a knowledge questionnaire on orthognathic surgery and sample size required for the main RCT. Design and setting: Part of a multi-centre RCT being carried out in Mersey Deanery. Recruitment for the main RCT, assessing whether a DVD on orthognathic surgery improves patients' knowledge, is ongoing. Method and materials: Existing orthognathic patients and final year dental students were randomized into three groups. They completed the knowledge questionnaires after receiving standard information about orthognathic treatment and/or seeing the DVD. Patients attending their first orthognathic joint clinic also completed questionnaires. Results: One hundred and two participants completed questionnaires. A Cronbach's alpha score of 0.715 suggests that the internal consistency of the questionnaire is satisfactory. The students had significantly better knowledge, compared with existing patients, after watching the orthognathic DVD (mean difference 6.90, 95% CI 13.36, 0.44). Sixty-six participants, randomized into two groups, are required for the main RCT to detect a difference of 2 knowledge points at a significance level of 0.05 and power of 80%. Conclusions: The questionnaire devised is a valid and reliable tool for assessing patients' knowledge on orthognathic surgery. A total sample size of 66 patients is required for the main RCT.


Securing computer systems has traditionally been the domain of system administrators using technology to protect computer systems from attack. However, in many systems, human users are critical to the security process. There's a growing realization that technology alone can't protect security if users don't properly deploy and utilize it. Ultimately, it's users who create passwords and choose whether to adhere to security procedures.


Despite rising concern over the biology of Sickle Cell Anaemia (SCA), no general modeling approach has considered the effects of the selective advantage of Haemoglobin S (HbS) over Haemoglobin (HbA). This paper develops a theoretical framework and demonstrates mathematically that mating between the three different genotypic groups, namely: normal AA, carriers AS and sicklers SS, does not yield equal probabilities of having neonates of these classes.


Introduction The Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) was established for the prehospital trauma care of patients. Improved rescue times and increased coverage areas are discussed as specific advantages of HEMS. We recently found evidence that HEMS exerts beneficial effects on outcomes for severely injured patients. However, it still remains unknown which group of trauma patients might benefit most from HEMS rescue. Consequently, the unique aim of this study was to reveal which patients might benefit most from HEMS rescue. Methods Trauma patients (ISS ≥9) primarily treated by HEMS or ground emergency medical services (GEMS) between 2002 and 2012 were analysed using the TraumaRegister DGU. A multivariate regression analysis was used to reveal the survival benefit between different trauma populations. Results The study included 52 281 trauma patients. Of these, 68.8% (35 974) were rescued by GEMS and 31.2% (16 307) by HEMS. HEMS patients were more severely injured compared to GEMS patients (ISS: HEMS 24.8±13.5 vs. GEMS 21.7±18.0) and more frequently suffered traumatic shock (SBP sys <90mmHg: HEMS 18.3% vs. GEMS 14.8%). However, logistic regression analysis revealed that HEMS rescues resulted in an overall survival benefit compared to GEMS (OR 0.81, 95% CI [0.75–0.87], p<0.001, Nagelkerke's R squared 0.526, area under the ROC curve 0.922, 95% CI [0.919–0.925]). Analysis of specific subgroups demonstrated that patients aged older than 55 years (OR 0.62, 95% CI [0.50–0.77]) had the highest survival benefit after HEMS treatment. Furthermore, HEMS rescue had the most significant impact after 'low falls' (OR 0.68, 95% CI [0.55–0.84]) and in the case of minor severity injuries (ISS 9–15) (OR 0.66, 95% CI [0.49–0.88]). Conclusions In general, trauma patients benefit from HEMS rescue with in-hospital survival as the main outcome parameter. Focusing on special subgroups, middle aged and older patients, low-energy trauma, and minor severity injuries had the highest survival benefit when rescued by HEMS. Further studies are required to determine the potential reasons of this benefit.


Health for All by the Year 2000 requires action by many different groups in the community and the medical profession is 1 group which should adopt this goal most readily. Discussion focuses on 3 major responsibilities which should be carried by the medical profession: critical reexamination of the goals and methods of medical education; the provision of empirical data i.e. data derived from careful observation for use in making decisions about medical care and the allocation of health care resources; and the development of new procedures or institutions whereby ethical dilemmas in medicine are resolved. By giving critical thought to the methods and goals of medical practice an appropriate medical education approach can be developed to train doctors for the 21st century. The essential components of this approach include: attention to the definition of goals; the choice of educational methods on the basis of evidence of their effectiveness; and the evaluation of the total educational process so that its strengths can be determined and built on and its weaknesses detected and fixed. If the medical profession of the future is to contribute substantially to compehensive programs of primary health care curricula must change. Such change calls for alteration in the system of rewards and other academic structures and management. These alterations in turn may necessitate a complete revision of current concepts of academic accountability. Another responsibility of the medical profession and particularly medical academics is the provision of sound information on which rational judgments as to where resources for health care should be spent can be based. In some countries efforts are being made to ameliorate the lack of information on which to base decisions about health care. For example the World Bank recently approved a loan of US$35 million to the Peoples Republic of China to strengthen medical education in its top 13 medical colleges. 5% of this loan has been designated to the development of education in design measurement and evaluation within the undergraduate medical program of those colleges. A 3rd responsibility for the profession is to help the community make balanced ethical choices about health care at a personal and a community level. Currently the ethical aspects of health care seem to be struggling to survive. Needed is a mechanism whereby ethical dilemmas can be discussed and resolved. Society requires a process which enables the fair resolution of competing value positions in any particular case. Doctors may need more education in the ethical aspects of their profession.


The purpose of this study is to know the effect of temperature on fish muscle contraction of jack mackerel (Trachurus japonicus), which muscle contraction will determine the tail beat frequency and maximum swimming speed. The maximum swimming speed of was evaluated according to the measurement of the muscle contraction time with electric stimuli of 2-7 V, 50 ms. Fish were separated into four groups for temperature acclimation at 10, 15, 18 and 22 oC to reflect typical changes in seasonal water temperature in Japan. Results showed that the swimming speed of the fish was positively related to the tail-beat frequency at all temperatures. The muscle contraction time was also affected by the acclimated temperature, which longer at the lower temperature than higher ones. Mean contraction time (Tm) was 45.1 ms at 10 oC, 32.7 ms at 15 oC, 32.9 ms at 18 oC, and 31.9 ms at 22 oC, respectively. The mean of maximum tailbeat frequency (Fmax) obtained from Fmax = 1⁄2 Tm was 11.4 Hz at 10 oC, 15.8 Hz at 15 oC, 16,4 Hz at 18 oC, and 16.6 Hz at 22 oC. These were used to estimate the maximum swimming speed (Umax) at each temperature, resulting in 9.45 FL s-1 at 10 oC, 13.5 FL s-1 at 15 oC, 14.0 FL s-1 18 oC, and 14.2 FL s-1 at 22 oC. The seasonal temperature effects on the swimming performance of T. japonicus, which lower water temperature in the winter made low swimming performance.


Abstract We have performed the smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations of collisions between two gas giant planets. Changes in masses of the ice/rock core and the H/He envelope due to the collisions are investigated. The main aim of this study is to constrain the origin and probability of a class of extrasolar hot Jupiters that have much larger cores and/or higher core/envelope mass ratios than those predicted by theories of accretion of gas giant planets. A typical example is HD 149026b. Theoretical models of the interior of HD 149026b (Sato et al. 2005; Fortney et al. 2006; Ikoma et al. 2006) predict that the planet contains a huge core of 50-80 Earth masses relative to the total mass of 110 Earth masses. Our SPH simulations demonstrate that such a gas giant is produced by a collision with an impact velocity of typically more than 2.5 times escape velocity and an impact angle of typically less than 10 degrees, which results in an enormous loss of the envelope gas and complete accretion of both cores.


A case of true hermaphroditism is reported in which a 46,XY karyotype was associated with a testis and an ovotestis. The dual presence of a Fallopian tube and a vas deferens on the side of the ovotestis is documented as a previously unreported finding.


Background Neutrophils are very important in the body defense against bacterial infection. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) could be used for the recognition of early-onset bacterial sepsis in neonates. Objective The aim of this study was to compare the value of ANC between premature and term infants, to assess the prevalence of early-onset neutropenia in premature infants and its relationship with prematurity, and to find out the correlation between gestational age and ANC. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted during February to May 2003. Subjects were newborn infants with gestational age of less than 37 weeks who were born in Adam Malik and Pirngadi Hospitals, Medan. Newborn infants with severe asphyxia (5-minute Apgar score of less than 4), fever, seizure, and maternal hypertension were excluded. Complete blood count was done by means of automatic cell counter (Micros(R), Germany). Term healthy infants were used as control subjects. Results ANC differed significantly between both groups (p=0.0001). The prevalence of early-onset neutropenia in premature infants was 9% (95%CI 0.065;0.21). Prematurity was related with the incidence of neutropenia with a prevalence ratio of 1.1. There was a weak positive correlation between gestational age and ANC with an r-value of 0.49 (p=0.0001). Conclusions ANC in premature infants differs from that in term infants. The prevalence of early-onset neutropenia in premature infants was 9% (95%CI 0.065;0.21). Prematurity is related with the incidence of early-onset neutropenia in newborn infants. There is a correlation between gestational age and ANC [Paediatr Indones 2004;44:197-200].

AbstractThe archaeology of the United Monarchy has recently become a focus of a fierce dispute. The debate has far-reaching consequences for archaeological, historical and biblical studies. In a recent article, Mazar (1997) criticized my views on this topic and supported the prevailing theory. In this rejoinder, I demonstrate that the Low Chronology for the material remains of the eleventh-ninth centuries B.G.E., whether right or wrong, is based on archaeological considerations. The prevailing scheme is based on uncritical reading of the biblical text and on irrelevant sentiments regarding the grandeur of the early Israelite state.


eLSEwise is the acronym of ESPRIT project 20876 which investigated the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) needs of Large Scale Engineering (LSE) construction over the next 10 years. eLSEwise investigated the business needs related to market and client demands for change in the future delivery processes of LSE construction projects and how the constructors perceive their roles changing in response. It also undertook a state‐of‐the‐art review of the existing and emergent technologies. From these investigations eLSEwise then postulated a vision how LSE construction projects may be delivered in the future, fully utilizing the benefits of emergent technology to satisfy the business needs. The project also considered how companies may progress from their present condition towards this future view, leading to basic development strategy. This paper presents the eLSEwise views of such a future. These findings are presented in three parts: the eLSEwise vision, development routes and recommendations.


Rubus chrysophyllus and Rubus fraxinifolius are a native species in Indonesia, which has highly potential to be developed as fruits crops. Propagation is an important factor in developing a fruit cultivation. In vitro micropropagation is an important instrument to improve the quality of seedling. Our experiment was aimed to study the micropropagation of R. chrysophyllus and R. fraxinifolius. The shoot tips were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 10 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) for enhancing roots of R. chrysophyllus and R. fraxinifolius in the in vitro condition. Then, the rooted plantlets were transplanted into cocopeat media for acclimatization. The results showed that R. chrysophyllus and R. fraxinifolius gave a different response on the medium contain 10 mg/L of IBA. The R. fraxinifolius shows the best results compared to R. chrysophyllus on 14 days after subculture. The roots length and roots numbers of R. fraxinifolius and R. chrysophyllus were 9.13 cm and 11.25; 2.20 cm and 2.00, respectively. Although R. fraxinifolius was growing better than R. chrysophyllus, but after acclimatization R. chrysophyllus were able to grow faster than R. fraxinifolius. Moreover, on the parameters of plant height shows that R. chrysophyllus (9.20 cm) were growth higher than R. fraxinifolius (4.05 cm) during acclimatization.

There is a certain height of liquid on the plate when the tray column is under working conditions.The tower will be bent when it subjected to wind load and the centre of gravity of liquid on the column plate will deviate from the axis of the column because of deflection.The liquid on the plate will take place additional eccentric bending moment that has got a greater impact on top deflection of tray column.The change of the centre of gravity of liquid on every column plate produces additional eccentric loads that will be accumulated to calculate top deflection of tray column.Using superposition principle of mechanical and the self-edit program,the influence of top deflection on the additional eccentric loads are generated because of the variation of centre of gravity is derived.


On the first page of "What is Cantor's Continuum Problem?", Godel argues that Cantor's theory of cardinality, where a bijection implies equal number, is in some sense uniquely determined. The argument, involving a thought experiment with sets of physical objects, is initially persuasive, but recent authors have developed alternative theories of cardinality that are consistent with the standard set theory ZFC and have appealing algebraic features that Cantor's powers lack, as well as some promise for applications. Here we diagnose Godel's argument, showing that it fails in two important ways: (i) Its premises are not sufficiently compelling to discredit countervailing intuitions and pragmatic considerations, nor pluralism, and (ii) its final inference, from the superiority of Cantor's theory as applied to sets of changeable physical objects to the unique acceptability of that theory for all sets, is irredeemably invalid.


Plastic scintillators are gaining attention as alternatives to inorganic scintillator crystals owing to their low fabrication cost, customable shape/size, and substantially lighter weight that make them suitable for various radiation detection technologies. These include scintillation panels for national security and industrial monitoring, radiation screens for medical diagnostics, and calorimeters for high energy physics. Because of their low density, plastic scintillators are typically doped with high atomic number (Z) sensitizers that enhance the interaction probability with ionizing radiation and excite molecular emitters. Although effective, such a two‐component design suffers from incomplete sensitization, intrinsically limited efficiency due to multiple radiative steps with non‐unity quantum yield, detrimental phase segregation effects and the fragility of organic emitters to ionizing radiation. In this work, an alternative single‐component scheme is proposed based on high‐Z reabsorption‐free CdZnS/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) doped with manganese embedded in a polyvinyltoluene (PVT) waveguide. Optical‐grade nanocomposites free from optical reabsorption of the scintillation light and with performance comparable to commercial products are obtained through a post‐synthesis resurfacing procedure that maximizes the compatibility between the NCs and PVT and preserves their optical properties upon curing.

though he is not named, the bearer of the title can in Siptah's reign be Bay only. I t is impossible to say whether any significance should be attached to the shorter form, oí Bay's title in the dockets, which is 'chancellor of the whole land ' and not (or not yet) 'great chancellor oí the whole land ' , perhaps the final form, of his title. In conclusion, the information obtained from the little texts discussed in the present Note may be summarized as follows : 1. In the reign of Sethos II, Bay was king's scribe and king's butler. He lived at the court in the Delta residence and came to Thebes as the king's confidential man to inspect the work on the tomb of the king in the Valley of the Kings: 2. In year 4 of Siptah, he ivas 'chancellor of the whole land' and owner of an estate in the west of the Delta, containing a vineyard from which wine was supplied to the Theban mortuary temple of Siptah.


The rule of law in their activities providing legal safeguards for individuals with a fair rule of law refers to the government order . However, in the activities of a state law to conform to the rules of law is not enough. At the same time those who make the rules with the rules they have put in must be subordinate themselves . The presence of a superior force in the historical process people have always blessed . This sacred power, like the moon sometimes a celestial body such as the sun, sometimes like fire, water, human life has been nothing of importance. Of religion in the regulation of social relations is a separate matter. However, in today's modern world of law and the rule of law is in operation and actions of the administration. The development process of law has not been easy. Rule of law, property state, police state treasury through stages such as the theory of understanding reached today the rule of law. Although the current understanding of the rule of law in the case, said that the adoption of the rule of law by everyone as an individual. In this context, the rule of law can be said to be still in the process of development. Here is the full judgment in the process of this development is undeniable contribution to the development of the rule of law is equally important. Because violation of the law and sometimes even in the context of the rule of law, interpreting the attitudes of managers to prevent unlawful but it is possible through the judiciary. In this study, rule of law should be understood after examining whether the rule of law development process were studied and later to work preparation in terms of being the national legislature and the European Court of Human Rights rule of law relationship with the rule of law and contribute to the development in general were discussed.


SOCIAL WORK YOUNG, DEWANDA LYNN B.S. LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1991 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS AND AGGRESSION IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN Advisor: Dr. Sandra Foster Thesis dated May, 1997 The overall objective of this study was to examine the effect of being homeless on aggression in preschool children. To attain this objective, thirty-one homeless four and five year old children living in Metro Atlanta shelters were compared to thirty-three four and five year old children who came from homes with low socioeconomic status and attended the Clark Atlanta University Head Start program. An explanatory research design was employed in this comparative analysis. The children's aggression levels were examined through the use of an adapted Aggression Subscale taken from the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. This questionnaire was administered to care givers of these preschoolers during parenting meetings. The findings yielded from this study do not support the premise that there is a statistically significant difference in aggression between homeless and housed preschoolers.

TPS1139 Background: Resistance to chemotherapy or targeted agents is the cause of death in most patients dying of breast cancer and one of the major challenges presently faced by oncologists. In triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs), drug resistance emerges quicker than in other breast cancer subtypes and contributes to the poor prognosis seen in these patients. The lack of targeted therapies to treat TNBC highlights the important need to better understand the molecular mechanisms contributing to chemotherapy resistance in order to develop new therapeutic strategies. However, the difficulty in obtaining tissue samples from drug resistant tumors has been one of the limiting factors in this field of study. Methods: We have designed a prospective phase II clinical trial where paired biopsies are collected from chemotherapy resistant TNBCs (NCT01276899). Four needle core biopsies are collected before the initiation of treatment and 2 weeks before surgery or at the time of progression in the neoadjuvant and m...


It is shown that Einstein's final unified field theory, the relativistic theory of the nonsymmetric field, is identical to a theory Einstein proposed in 1925.


Abstract : This report contains data for the 5-5-5 and 7-12 sheet alloys, including evaluations to be conducted and data obtained to date. The surface finish and flatness of the sheets were superior to the heat-treatable alloys and the sheets tested exceeded target mechanical properties with the exception of the bend radii of one 7-12 sheet. To establish machinability criteria the Box Wilson Statistical Method will be employed. Cleaning requrements for fusion welding are similar to the 5-2 1/2 alloy and preliminary resistance weld tests produced a higher Tension/Shear ratio for the 5-5-5 than the 7-12.


Competitive athletes, from youthful players to professionals, face personal obstacles that interfere with their full potential. Whenever they compete, athletes struggle against an opponent or the clock. These are external obstacles, but athletes also struggle with internal obstacles such as negative thoughts, fear, distractibility, and lack of confidence or motivation. Such internal obstacles limit their performance. In preparing for competition, and in competition itself, athletes strive to defeat their opponents and conquer their negative thoughts. Sport psychologists can play a vital role in helping athletes overcome obstacles in order to achieve their goals. Sport psychologists provide athletes with powerful tools to help them reach peak performance and personal growth. Numerous techniques have been designed over the years to help athletes overcome their internal limitations and create growth-promoting athletic experiences. The effect of negative thoughts and beliefs on athletic achievement is illustrated in events that occurred on May 6, 1954. What makes this particular event memorable was that it profoundly changed the way athletes viewed themselves. Prior to the event physicians, exercise experts, and the general public believed that the human body could not run a mile in less than four minutes. Data of the times seemed to support this belief. One athlete who


In this article a new conceptual model of innovation and creative innovation like processes to manage is exposed. The model distinguishes between the simple creative acts, the innovation, the creative innovation and the creativity or great creation. All of them arise from the imagination like evolutionary mechanism that in the man reaches its maximum exponent. This is because a graduation between growth, learning, innovation and creativity exists and distinguishes them. Far from partial and stronghold visions of the creative and innovating phenomena, we developed them like processes that, in a transverse vision, find their fundamentals in the Nano Systems Biology iterating itself until a global econosphere. The biopsicosocial model of group, systemic and integrative, from individual distonies and its necessity of overcoming by means of creative and innovating acts, articulates in intra/inter personal and group levels to economic and social supra systems. Starting off the conception of the Physics on the reality arrives at the social nature of man, seating the physical stimulus of the things in its perception in the phenomenon denominated co-reidad, and the base of inter personal behaviour in the group on the phenomenon of co-reidea. These two concepts of coreidad and coreidea allow the

In the course of transmission, mud pulse signal mainly disturbed by drilling pump,engine in the bottom hole, air bladder contained in mud and movement of drilling equipment. Also air bladder and sand contained in mud,type of mud affect attenuation of mud pulse signal.


Summary: The poetic oeuvre of the baroque poet Francesc Fontanella (1622–1682/83) was widely known. We still keep thirty-seven witnesses of his work: thirty-one are manuscripts and six are printed copies. Despite the fact that his poems have been generally regarded as following a disordered arrangement, this paper proposes two nuances to this perception: on the one hand, the analysis of Fontanella's poetry transmission allows us to define a micro organization through well defined cycles in accordance with subject, addressees, writing circumstances, etc.; on the other hand, we can classify a large number of Fontanella's poetry through the comparison of the disposition of the poems both in his books and in the miscellaneous collections which contain a critical number of his poems. The outcome are three large sets of manuscripts. The resulting data has been supported by the comparative analysis of its rubrics. Both factors offer a guideline to understand the poetic works of the Barcelona poet and playwright and collaborate with the ecdotic analysis to build a critical edition of his poetic oeuvre. [Keywords: Francesc Fontanella; baroque poetry; modern Catalan literature; textual criticism; codicology]


In recent years,rapid development of large business centers has made a great impact on consumer behavior and urban commercial structure.The paper takes Wujiaochang Area(WJCA) as an example to investigate the change of consumer behavior after the rise of WJCA.The paper discusses changes in consumption types and destinations,as well as how the rise of commercial center influences urban commercial structure.The research shows that interviewees' overall consumption frequency has been greatly increased as a result while frequency to business centers other than WJCA has not significantly been reduced.Study on the differences between the impacts to various consumption types shows thatmiddle -class consumption and portable consumption have beenmore affected than others. Comparison among consumption destinations shows that consumption transferred to WJCA is largely from other business centers.The overall impact isa result of both competition and inducement.In addition,the rise of WJCA has produced different spatial outcomes.Finally,correlation analysis between block characteristics and consumption changes shows that various block characteristics play different roles in receiving influences of WJCA's rise.

The task of efficient vehicles dispatching in real time becomes very important for service and transportati n companies. In general, dispatch management requires complex perceptual and cognitive abilities applied un er a high level of stress; the development of a knowledg ebased expert system for dispatch management reduces both stress and risk in decision-making and increas es economic efficiency. This paper describes a propose d object-oriented explicit consequences approach to d omain knowledge representation and reasoning about domain experts' actions, and presents the prototype of a knowledge-based system developed for a manufacturin g company. The key benefits of an operational logisti c system for dispatch management are discussed as wel l.


Starting from the double premises that Cervantes was both a writer and a literary critic with portentous knowledge of the literary genres -which led him to examine the historicity of the genres he worked with on a meta-discursive level- the article at hand defines his concept of the novel by highlighting its most significant features. Each novel is scrutinized individually, emphasizing on the origin and evolution of the genre which it is associated to, by contrasting it to the picaresque novel in order to analyse Cervantes' position in regard to the poetics of the picaresque genre during its institutional phase.


The southern portion of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) and the central Himalayan region are home to the Mt. Qomolangma (Everest) National Nature Reserve (QNNR), which is the world's highest nature reserve and is distinguished by delicate natural ecosystems and unique geographic features. Analyzing regional vegetation trends, as well as the impacts of natural and anthropogenic variables on vegetation coverage, is crucial for local environmental protection and sustainable development. In this study, the variation patterns of the MOD13Q1 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data were explored, and the responses of vegetation development to both natural and anthropogenic parameters were investigated by applying trend analysis and partial correlation analysis, as well as the partial least squares-structural equation model (PLS-SEM). To better comprehend the spatial characteristics and interrelationships between NDVI and various parameters under different vegetation types, the Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) was employed for dimensionality reduction and visualization. The results illustrated that between 2000 and 2018, the reserve greened up at a rate of 0.00073/a (p < 0.05), with vegetation improvement areas accounting for 49.46%. The major climatic driver for the greening trend of vegetation was temperature. Topography (especially elevation) remains dominant in regulating vegetation development in the QNNR, despite a progressively growing impact of hydrothermal conditions on vegetation development. Additionally, the implementation of environmental initiatives has stifled the adverse impacts of human activity.


In this work an optimum error nonlinearity is derived for the channel estimation in the existence of class-A impulsive noise. The main idea of the design is based on minimizing the steady-state error to reach the limit dictated by the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) of the implicit estimation process. By using the proposed method, optimum error nonlinearity is devised for long adaptive filters without employing any assumption on the distribution input regressor constituents and on the noise distribution, independence input regressor assumption and any kind of linearization. Moreover, to implement the proposed design, two different methods for estimating the variance of a priori estimation error are developed. Furthermore, an intelligent switching mechanism is also introduced to efficiently utilize the designed optimum error non-linearity for the impulsive noise. The theoretical results are testify through simulations, to show the superiority of the designed optimum error nonlinearity.


Sex, drugs, and rock and roll (SDRR) is a storied trilogy in popular culture. However, in scientific literature, there is little empirical evidence to determine if there is a positive relationship between these three phenomena, despite biological, psychological, and social reasons that would suggest they are connected. Via questionnaire, we asked participants to selfreport alcohol and drug use, sexual behaviors and attitudes, and musical ability and preference. Although evidence was limited, there was some support for an SDRR connection, particularly among male performers and female listeners of rock and "harder" music. Interestingly, this mimics patterns of several bird species where males are the producers and females are the consumers of song. Ethological considerations and future directions are discussed.


Forecasting electricity prices is one of the most important issues in the competitive environment of the power industry. The price of electricity influences important decisions by market participants and plays a crucial role in establishing a proper economical operation. The main objective of an electricity market is to reduce the cost of electricity through competition [1–5]. Nowadays, electricity has been turned into a traded commodity, to be sold and bought at market prices. In general, loads and prices in wholesale markets are mutually intertwined activities [3]. However, electricity has its own distinct characteristics since it cannot be queued and stored economically with the exception of pumped-storage hydro plants when appropriate conditions are met, and the power system stability requires a constant balance between generation and load [1, 6, 7]. Furthermore, electricity is affected by power network limitations. In many cases, electric power cannot be transported from one region to another because of existing bottlenecks or limited transmission capacity of the grid. Hence, prices are local and differ among regions [2, 6, 8]. Electricity price can rise to tens or even hundreds of times of its normal value showing one of the greatest volatilitiesamong all commodities. Application of forecasting methods commonly used in othercommodity markets can have a large error in forecasting the price of electricity.

Single-electron bubble structures which can develop in gaseous helium are considered within the so-called optical approximation for the electron interaction with a gaseous media. Detailed study of the applicability of the optical approximation at different gas densities is performed.


ABSTRACT The reinforcing of fine-grained soils using natural or synthetic fibers has been successfully applied today. The use of waste human hair fibers among natural fibers is seen as a sustainable solution as a reinforcing material. A series of free pressure tests were performed before and after the freezing-thawing cycle in order to examine the strength properties of the clayey soil (CS) reinforced with human hair fibers (HHF). Before freezing-thawing, clayey soil samples prepared with four different mass ratios of human hair fibers (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% by dry weight) indicated 14–54% increases in strength, 7–49% increase were obtained after freezing-thawing. The highest strength increases before and after the freezing-thawing cycle has occurred in the mixture of CS+1.5% HHF. In addition, it was determined that the increase in pressure stress is remarkably increases with increasing human hair fiber ratio and cure time and freeze-thaw cycles. As a result, it is concluded that the CS reinforced with HHF can be utilized in cold climate zones.


Three variable inductors have been evaluated to provide power factor correction in a 150 W AC/DC power supply. The constant air-gap inductor meets the harmonic limits, but is larger, bulky and more costly. The swinging inductor is the least suitable because these is a very sharp drop in the effective inductance characteristic over a small current range, this has the effect of introducing large spikes of current which in turn degrade the power factor. It has been shown that the sloped air-gap (SAG) inductor has the most suitable inductance versus current characteristics to provide power factor correction to meet harmonic limits over a wide power range.


Note that the recursion depth of this algorithm is k, and we branch on at most d points inside each call. Therefore, total size of the recurrence tree is dk. Hence, this algorithm terminates in dkpoly(n) time, where n = |V | + |F| is size of the input. We think of d as a fixed constant, and hence |F| ∈ poly(|V |). Further, if this algorithm returns a set S, then the set F \ {f ∈ F : f ∩ S 6= ∅} is empty. And therefore, S hits all the edges. Therefore, if an algorithm returns a set, then it is a vertex cover of size less than k.


The waste problem in Indonesia is an unfinished problem. The growing population increases the amount of waste originating from human activities, both organic and inorganic waste. Inorganic waste such as plastic waste is difficult to decompose naturally, so research is needed on the use of plastic waste to make environmentally friendly paving blocks. The aim of this research is to know the compressive strength and the percentage of water absorption value. Using experimental data collection techniques or methods (testing/observation). By testing intact paving blocks and cubes, the results showed that PET plastic types did not meet the testing standards for DHPE and PP plastic types, which had varying compressive strength and water absorption, so that research could be continued. The highest compressive strength of the PP plastic type was 16.98 Mpa for the intact model and 23.30 Mpa for the cube model, the lowest water absorption capacity was obtained for the PP plastic type of 0.38%.


Man has intermittently lived and worked in space for two decades and now space flight has become commonplace. It is salutory to remember that before man ventured into this new environment there were dire warnings of the dangers for men leaving the earth. Indeed, an Astronomer Royal summed up widely held beliefs by stating, somewhat incautiously, that space travel was utter bilge. Certainly, none of the extensive and catastrophic effects of exposure to weightlessness have materialized but there are medical consequences. Gravity is an all pervasive force and has been a major influence upon body design. The characteristic posture and gait of man is essentially a design to allow movement against gravity; indeed Galileo recognized that all large animals have relatively thicker weight-bearing bones than the smaller species. A man leaving the earth to travel into an orbit around our planet is subjected to a unique stress as he must acquire a momentum of S miles per second, or 7 miles per second if travelling to the moon. An astronaut may become up to five times his own weight with the stress forces applied during acceleration, before suddenly becoming weightless in orbit. Man has now been into space for periods of up to six months and there is a mass of information about the physiological changes and potential risks. An immediate response to arriving in orbit is a redistribution of body fluid.!,2 Approximately two litres of blood and interstitial fluid moves from the legs to the head and chest, so that the neck veins are distended, the face becomes


The authors show that a particular interstitial structure in c-Si has both ring structures characteristic of a-Si and low-energy excitations of a tunneling type and a bond-switch (soliton) type. These excitations exist for reasons of symmetry not because of anomalous bond angles or lengths. They suggest these defects may act as nuclei for amorphisation under irradiation and offer a possible explanation of the observed relation between tunneling level systems and the extent of amorphisation in quartz.

And the results obtained that simultaneously external factors and internal factors have an influence on purchasing decisions.


Examination of 9.34 m2 of thick aluminum plates from the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) using a 25X microscope revealed 4341 craters that were 0.1 mm in diameter or larger. The largest was 4 mm in diameter. Most were roughly hemispherical with lips that were raised above the original plate surface. The crater diameter measured was the diameter at the top of the raised lips. There was a large variation in the number density of craters around the three-axis gravity-gradient stabilized spacecraft. A model of the near-Earth meteoroid environment is presented which uses a meteoroid size distribution based on the crater size distribution on the space end of the LDEF. An argument is made that nearly all the craters on the space end must have been caused by meteoroids and that very few could have been caused by man-made orbital debris. However, no chemical analysis of impactor residue that will distinquish between meteoroids and man-made debris is yet available. A small area (0.0447 m2) of one of the plates on the space end was scanned with a 200X microscope revealing 155 craters between 10 _tm and 100 _tm in diameter and 3 craters smaller than 10 _tm. This data was used to extend the size distribution of meteoroids down to approximately 1 p.m. New penetration equations developed by Alan Watts were used to relate crater dimensions to meteoroid size. The equations suggest that meteoroids must have a density near 2.5 g/cm3 to produce craters of the shape found on the LDEF. The nearEarth meteoroid model suggests that about 80 to 85 percent of the 100 _tm to 1 mm diameter craters on the twelve peripheral rows of the LDEF were caused by meteoroids, leaving 15 to 20 percent to be caused by man-made orbital debris.


The present study reports clinical, microbiological and genetic findings in members of a family with Aggressive Periodontitis (AgP) from Maceio - AL, Brazil. After periodontal exams in fourteen members of the family, DNA was obtained from epithelial buccal cells and microbiological samples were collected from subgingival plaque to detect five species of periodontopathogens by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). PCR-RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) was used to investigate human polymorphisms in interleukin genes (IL4, IL10). Six members of the family showed Generalized AgP and eight were considered unaffected by the AgP. There was no association of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes in the IL10 and IL4 genes with the AgP in the studied family. Treponema denticola (T.d.) was the prevalent pathogen, followed by the Tannerella forsythia (T.f.). There was correlation between clinical findings (clinical attachment loss, bleeding on probing and probing depth) with the presence of T.d., while T.f. was


HE 19th "Soft Magnetic Materials" Conference (SMM 19) was held from September 6–9, 2009 in Torino, Italy. The conference was organized by INRIM, the Italian Institute for Research in Metrology, in collaboration with Politecnico di Torino and Universita degli Studi di Torino. The Soft Magnetic Materials Conference, first established in 1973, provides a forum for discussion on properties and applications of soft magnets through a broad range of topics. It is the ideal environment for the presentation of the latest developments in the properties and applications of soft magnetic materials. Torino, the first capital of the unified Italian kingdom, is an important cultural and technological center, renowned for its baroque architecture, universities and research institutions, museums, winter sport facilities, superb wines, and cuisine. The Conference was held in the Torino Incontra Convention Center, centrally located in Torino and surrounded by the major historical and cultural attractions of the city. The conference dinner was held in the historical building of the University Rectorate, close to where notable men of science such as Erasmus of Rotterdam, Friederich Nietzsche, J. L. Lagrange, Amedeo Avogadro, Giuseppe Peano, and Galileo Ferraris, among others, spent part of their life, advancing human knowledge into new unexplored realms of science and philosophy. Despite the widespread global economic downturn, the Conference was quite successful. We received more than 490 abstracts, with 360 accepted for presentation at the Conference. The Conference attracted more than 350 registered delegates from 33 countries, of which nearly 90 delegates were students. This makes SMM 19 the largest SMM conference ever. The large participation and in particular the remarkably high number of students confirm that the area of soft magnetic materials remains vital, with much potential for the future. There were twelve invited talks delivered from participants from university and industry; twenty shorter oral contributions and about 330 posters were presented. This issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS contains the conference-related papers that were accepted for publication after careful review carried out according to the usual IEEE standards. On Tuesday, September 8, a special oral session was held that featured the Magnetics Society Distinguished Lecture on spintronics by Hideo Ohno of Tohoku University, Japan, as well as a lecture about philosophical and historical aspects of magnetism presented by Vittorio Marchis, Politecnico di Torino. Both lectures were extremely interesting and very well received. This was a good service to the Magnetics Society, as more than 300 scientists from all over the world could discover and appreciate the value of the Distinguished Lecturer program. During the closing session on Wednesday, September 9, Ryusuke Hasegawa of Metglas presented a most stimulating general overview of the SMM 19 technical program. After the announcement of the three best student presentation awards, it was announced that the next Soft Magnetic Materials conference, SMM 20, will be organized in Athens, Greece, in 2011. Our best wishes to the organizers of SMM 20 for a most successful conference. The success of SMM 19 has been the result of the joint effort and dedication of all the researchers and students of the magnetics research group in Torino, and of the INRIM logistic and administrative support staff. Without their invaluable assistance it would not be possible to host a successful SMM 19 Conference. Our most sincere thanks to all of them.


This article presents a sampling of the author's expectations for the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the areas of research, development and application. The primary focus of the discussion herein is related to the non-linear transonic flow regime, and more specifically, for calculations about commercial transport aircraft. However, many of these topics are pertinent to all flow field regimes and aircraft designs. The underlying goal is to enable the automation of multi-disciplinary design processes, which utilize state-of-the-art numerical simulation methods. These include issues pertaining to accuracy, robustness, efficiency, ease-of-use, uncertainty requirements and other challenges.


The combinations of geomorphological features, hydrogeological aspects and hydrochemical analysis for Buram area in Sudan can be assumed as an attempt to evaluate adequately the groundwater potentiality for future reclamation developments. Three saturated formations have been recognized in the area of study. These are the Alluvium, Umm Ruwaba and Nubian aquifers. A regional groundwater flow pattern has been deduced, indicating the main distinguished flow directions. It has been confirmed that the groundwater potentiality of the Nubian aquifer is relatively higher than that of Umm Ruwaba one, and that its groundwater quality is fairly fresh, while that of Umm Ruwaba may be relatively saline. The Nubian sandstone aquifer can be considered as the most important one in the area of study and is, therefore, suitable for agricultural projects.

The world is currently experiencing one of the worst nursing shortages in the last 50 years. The reasons are multi-faceted, however one factor is a lack of structured collaborative, promotional initiatives among career guidance counsellors (CGCs), universities and established health professionals. In order to enhance recruitment emphasis must be placed on developing innovative promotional initiatives, materials and events which accurately portray the role and function of the nurse in the 21st century. The aim of this study is to identify second level CGCs preferred strategies for the facilitation of accurate and current information on nursing as a career option. The results suggest that CGCs very frequently engage with students and their parents regarding nursing as a career and emphasise the need for increased collaboration between health care professionals and CGCs in the promotion of nursing as a career.


Through historical method, this article studies the Shifts in Political Ideological Orientation of Masyumi Party during the Liberal Democracy Era 1950–1959. The shifted orientations of Masyumi Party included a shif of orientation in its principle, form of government and the government executive system. The establishment of Masyumi Party was the apex of the Japanese concern in trying to map the axis of the powers of various groups in Indonesia. The formations of PUTERA, which bore the nationalist inclination and MIAI, which tended to accommodate urban Muslims were not attractive enough to win the hearts and empathy from the Indonesian native communities for its occupation in Indonesia. Masyumi Party made Islam as a its struggling principle, not only as a symbol  but also tha ideology and spirits in conducting the various siyasah preaches within the scope of political struggles. Numerous internal dynamics were then occuring in the body Masymi Party. The Party's change in its orientation began to be visible, indicated by the idea suggested by M. Natsir to formulate the Constitution or Law of General Election. The formation of the General Election Law made M. Natsir and Masyumi the symbol of the establishment and growth of democracy in the Republic of Indonesia, which became more evident when M. Natsir was ousted and the subsequent working cabinet heads failed to hold a General Election. And finally, at the end of 1955 under the leadership of Burhanuddin Harahap, who was himself a Masyumi figure, a general election was held for the first time. The political attitude shown by Masyumi indicated that Masumi Party had shifted its political orientation. Masyumi Party, which originally struggled to implement Islam by employing the Syura in forming a government was helplessly compromising its principle by following and combining itself into a democracy model the initiator of which was the leader of Masyumi Party itself. Such political behavioral changes were associated with the reasoning of the then leaders of Masyumi Party, who tended to accommodative and excessively compromising.


Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to characterize paramagnetic rhodium species on Rh/SiO2 after activation in vacuum and after subsequent adsorption and dimerization of ethene. Activation above 430 K produces two major RhII species which do not appear to be active for dimerization. Adsorption of ethene onto Rh/SiO2 at 77 K followed by warming to 195 K produces another EPR signal, E, which does not change at 195 K. Warming to 296 K results in the decay of signal E in ca. 6 min. The intensity of EPR signal E increases with decreasing pore size and decreasing activation temperature to 470 K. The intensity of signal E is also found to correlate with the dimerization activity in both static and flow reactors. Species E is suggested to result from reductive coordination of ethene with RhIII to produce a σ-bonded RhII–ethene complex which then decays by a subsequent reduction with another ethene to a RhI–butene species. This scheme is analogous to that suggested for RhCa-X zeolite. In a flow reactor the dimerization activity increases with decreasing average pore diameter from 14.0 to 2.5 nm. This is attributed to a decrease in the time required for a successful encounter of ethene with RhIII in the smaller pores. In a static reactor the effect of pore size is decreased.


Background: This study was designed to evaluate the clinical profile and location of brain tumours in children so that brain tumour cases could be diagnosed and managed earlier. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out from April 2011 to April 2012. A total 50 clinically suspected cases of brain tumour and supported by MRI were enrolled in this study. Results: Brain tumour of children was predominant in male where male to female ratio was almost 1.9:1. Supratentorial and Infratentorial brain tumour were found in 36% and 64% cases respectively in children. According to MRI findings in the supratentorial location, craniopharyngioma were commonest (50%) followed by cerebral astrocytoma (22.2%). In the infratentorial region, medulloblastoma was observed in (40.6%), followed by cerebellar astrocytoma (31.3%). Vertigo, weakness of limbs were found in 46.9% and 87.5% cases respectively in infratentorial group which were significantly (p<0.05) higher than supratentorial group. Growth failure and behavioral change were found in 16.7% and 22.2% cases respectively in supratentorial which were significantly (p<0.05) higher than infratentorial group. Papilloedema, reduced muscle power, increased muscle tone, exaggerated deep reflexes, clonus, gait disturbance and cerebellar signs were significantly (p<0.05) higher in infratentorial group. Conclusion: Craniopharyngioma and medulloblastoma were more common findings in MRI evaluation in the supratentorial and infratentorial location respectively. Growth failure and behavioral change were found higher in supratentorial than infratentorial group. Vertigo, weakness of limbs, papilloedema, reduced muscle power, increased muscle tone, exaggerated deep reflexes, clonus, gait disturbance and cerebellar signs were higher in infratentorial group.

The kinetics of the reduction of cis-[RuVIL(O)2]2+ (L =
N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-3,6-dimethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-diamine) by [Ni(tacn)2]2+ (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) and [Fe(H2O)6]2+ have been studied in aqueous acidic solutions. Both reactions have the following stoichiometry: 2MII
+
cis-[RuVIL(O)2]2+
+ 2H+
→ 2MIII
+
cis-[RuIVL(O)(OH2)]2+ (M = Ni or Fe). Two distinct steps were observed for both reactions and these are assigned to RuVI
→ RuV and RuV
→ RuIV. Both steps are first order in [RuVI] and [MII]. For the reduction by [Ni(tacn)2]2+, the
activation parameters (I
= [H+] = 0.1 mol dm−3) for the first step are ΔH‡
= 13.4 ± 1.0 kJ mol−1 and ΔS‡
=
−111 ± 10 J mol−1 K−1; for the second reaction, ΔH‡
= 28.5 ± 1.5 kJ mol−1 and ΔS‡
=
−110 ± 10 J mol−1 K−1. The rate constant for the first step is independent of acid concentration, an outer-sphere mechanism is proposed and a self-exchange rate of 2 × 104 dm3 mol−1 s−1 for the cis-[RuVIL(O)2]2+/cis-[RuVL(O)2]+ couple is estimated using the Marcus cross-relation. The rate constant
of the second step increases with [H+] and it reaches saturation at high [H+]. A mechanism involving a pre-equilibrium protonation of cis-[RuVL(O)2]+ followed by outer-sphere electron transfer is proposed. For the reduction by [Fe(H2O)6]2+, rate constants for both steps are independent of acid concentration in the range of pH = 1–3. The activation parameters (I
= 1.0 mol dm−3, pH = 1.0) for the first step are ΔH‡
= 32.5 ± 1.5 kJ mol−1 and ΔS‡
=
−52.5 ± 7 J mol−1 K−1; while for the second step, ΔH‡
= 17.3 ± 1.2 kJ mol−1 and ΔS‡
=
−140 ± 13 J mol−1
K−1. An outer-sphere mechanism is proposed for the first step and an inner-sphere mechanism is proposed for the second step.

Five distinct microfacies types have recorded the diversity in sediment producing processes and paleoecologic conditions in an Oxfordian subtidal lagoon. Lower Smackover sediments accumulated in this lagoon during the transgressive half of a transgressive-regressive depositional cycle. The microfacies are: (1) peloid/pellet packestone-wackestone, (2) oncolite-pellet wackestone, (3) aggregate grain-pellet packestone, (4) microbial boundstone, (5) sponge-microbial crust boundstone. Reported here for the first time from the Smackover of Apalachicola are boundstone fabrics (microfacies 4 and 5). Boundstones of microfacies 4 are built exclusively by cyanophytes, and are characterized by an anastomosing framework, elongate cavities, cryptobionts, and pervasive early marine cements. The microfacies represents relatively shallow waters (15--20 m), and moderate turbulence which enhanced the precipitation of marine calcite cements. Microfacies 5 evolved in deeper waters (25--100 m), and contains highly altered remains of siliceous sponges bound together by micritic-peloidal, and filamentous cyanophyte crusts. An inclusion-free, equant calcite spar occludes the pore spaces. Encrusting miliolid forams and serpulid borings on the sedimentary substrate indicate sea-floor lithification of the bioherm. Microfacies characteristic of intertidal flats are absent implying that Lower Smackover deposition was entirely subtidal. On an average only 45 m of sediment accumulated during the Lower Smackover deposition, a time span of aroundmore » 3 my. Long term accumulation rates for the thickest carbonate section are low for shallow marine systems (3 cm/1,000 yr). These low rates coupled with an early-middle Oxfordian transgression prevented the lagoon from shoaling up frequently. Consequently the sequence is subtidal-dominated and is non-cyclic.« less


Cryptococcus neoformans can cause infection in individuals with both normal and impaired immune function, especially in cases of human immunodeficiency virus infection. Pleural involvement is not common in cryptococcosis, even with disseminated infection. Liver cirrhosis is a disease known to lead to immunodeficiency. Herein, we report 4 cases of liver cirrhosis diagnosed as cryptococcosis with pleural involvement. The patients comprised 3 females and 1 male, and their ages ranged from 53~75 years. There were 3 hepatitis-related cases and 1 primary biliary-related case of cirrhosis. The characteristics of pleural effusion in our cases were all transudative, and the cellular response of the pleural effusion was neutrophil or lymphocyte-predominant. The prognosis of isolated pleural involvement is somewhat better than that of disseminated infection, although all our cases expired within 3 months. Three cases from the literature are also reviewed in this case series report. In summary, early diagnosis of cryptococcal pleural effusion in cirrhotic patients is still a challenge in clinical practice.


Modern quality education requires the promotion of the comprehensive development of students' moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetics and labor education. Among them, moral education is the key of five educations, which is the focus and primary aspect of college education. Only in this way can we cultivate talents with both ethics and talents. The popularization of Marxism is relative to elitism, which requires that the ABSTRACT. socialist theory with Chinese characteristics be transformed into a specific theory that can be accepted by the public, and further internalized and integrated into the daily lives of the public. Therefore, the ideological and political education in colleges and universities under the popularization of Marxism should be closer to the reality and the lives of students. This article will first explain the current situation of ideological and political theory education in colleges and universities under the perspective of Marxism popularization, and then put forward some suggestions on the practice of ideological and political theory education in colleges and universities under the perspective of Marxism popularization.


Surveillance imaging of HNSCC in patients treated with chemoradiotherapy suffers from difficulty in differentiating residual disease from radiation changes and inflammation. Thus, this study assessed ML models based on RadFs extracted from standard CT images pre- and post-chemoradiation to predict HNSCC treatment response. A retrospective analysis of HNSCC patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy at our institution between 2006 and 2015 was performed. Thirty-six patients with residual disease on CT scans of the soft tissue of the neck at a two- month interval-either in the primary site, nodal stations, or both-were enrolled. GTV contours from the treatment planning CT (CT1), post-treatment CT (CT2), and CT portion of the PET/CT (CT3) of the neck were exported to MatLab®, where 2D and 3D RadFs were extracted using different methods. Finally, ML models were used to identify the RadFs that predict changes and progression in HNSCC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy. SVM models using 2D RadFs, extracted from CT2, were associated with residual disease on PET/CT exams (AUC = 0.702). 2D RadFs extracted from PET/CT had moderate predictive ability to predict positive pathology for residual tumor (AUC = 0.667). NN and RF models of 3D RadFs extracted from CT2 and PET/CT had good and moderate predictive ability to predict positive pathology for residual tumor (AUC = 0.720 and 0.678, respectively). ML models using 2D and 3D RadFs derived from pre- and post-treatment CT data show promise for predicting residual tumor from radiation changes and inflammation in a small group of HNSCC cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.


Objective To enunciate the results of misdiagnosis of nephroptosis and its treatment and to summarize clinical value of retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephropexy with self-made cotton thread reticule.Methods The different symptoms and results of misdiagnosis of 396 patients with nephroptasis in more than 10 years were analysed retrospectively.The indication of consecutive therapy and the retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephropexy with self-made cotton thread reticule were also described.Results For patients with nephroptosis,flank pain,hematuria were the common symptoms,digestive symptoms and neurosis symptoms might present in some patients.Dietl's crisis was rare.The main causes of misdiagnosis for nephroptosis were as following the negligence of the disease,the wrong position (only supine) during examination of ultrasonography and intravenous ruography.The majority of patients with nephroptosis were responsible to the consecutive therapy. The results of retoperitoneal laparoscopic nephropexy with self-made cotton thread reticule in 8 patients were satisfied.Conclusion Flank pain,hematuria are the common symptoms in patients with nephroptosis.More attention should be paid for nephroptosis. Standing or siting position during ultrasonography and intravenous urography is important to avocid misdvagnosis of the disease.Consecutive therapy is useful and retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephropexy with self-made cotton thread reticule is promising for patients with nephroptosis.


This article focuses on the development of 2 major adverse drug events associated with some fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agents, specifically cardiac and glycemic effects. Cardiac dysfunction, including corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation and torsades de pointes, has been linked to the administration of fluoroquinolones. The first indication of QTc prolongation was reportedwith sparfloxacin, and since that time, it has been associated with a number of other fluoroquinolones, leading to the assumption that this is a general class effect. Fluoroquinolone-associated effects on cardiac conduction appear more likely to occur in patients with underlying cardiac diseases, those with electrolyte abnormalities, and those coadministered antiarrhythmics and other QTc-prolonging drugs. Some fluoroquinolone agents have also been associated with alterations in glycemic control. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia have been reported with many of the currently available agents. Risk factors for aberrations in glucose homeostasis include noninsulindependent diabetes mellitus, increased age, impaired renal function, and the concomitant use of oral hypoglycemic agents. The widespread use of fluoroquinolones highlights the need for clinicians to consider predisposed populations and use caution when selecting antimicrobial therapies.

Among the advantages of boundary element methods are the fact that only media interfaces need be discretized with elements and the number of unknowns for solution storage is small. Conventional eddy current boundary approaches can be employed to simulate rotational induced eddy currents and forces both For multiphase and single phase induction motors. The torque is computed by analyzing the power dissipated in the rotor at equivalent slip frequencies. This is especially useful for the single phase induction motor, since no Green's function is available to simulate rotational induced currents.


I did not really fit into the villages where I did a deep insider research. This appeared uncharacteristic given that the villagers' native language was the same as mine and I was studying the culture that I already knew in part and had experienced. Despite being part of the Western PhD practice at Deakin University (Australia) where I still maintained primary residence in Botswana, I was not fully acculturated to Australian academe culture-I still was not Western. Premised on this multi-layered experience, this paper is devoted to discussing the processes and outcomes of doing a deep insider social constructionist research by a researcher who is an outsider on both ends. Written in the first person narrative, the main objective of this study is to share methodological insights, challenges and other related experiences of being an "outsider" doing a deep insider PhD qualitative research and offer advice to other researchers who may find themselves in the same situation as I was.

Background: The World health organization (WHO) defines Congenital anomalies (CA) as structural or functional anomalies which are present at the time of birth. CA causes a significant proportion of infant mortality and morbidity and health care expenditure. The most common etiology is idiopathic (40-60%), followed by combination of hereditary and other factors (20%), single gene mutation (7%), chromosomal anomaly (6%) and 5% by maternal illness. It is estimated that 10–15% of CA are result of the adverse effect of environmental factors on prenatal development. This study was done to estimate incidence and spectrum of CA in various organ systems and their association with maternal risk factors. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was done for one year. All new born babies were attended by a paediatrician at birth and proper history and through examination were done and recorded in proforma. The data were entered in Microsoft excel sheet and analysed with statistical software SPSS version 20. Result: A total of 10299 babies were enrolled in the study. Incidence of CA was 8.8/1000 births. The mean age of mothers having babies with CA were 28.73 years. 83.5% of mothers were less than 35 years of age. 59% of the mother had male child whereas 41% had a female child. Among the study participants, 57.2% babies weighed more than 2500 grams and 42.8% weighed less than 2500 grams. The most common anomalies were GIT accounting for majority (44%), followed by CNS (34.1%) and CHD (13.2%). Among the maternal risk factors elicited for anomalous baby, 26 % had previous history of abortion (p-value <0.05), 15.5% had history of previous anomalous baby (p-value <0.05). Conclusion: Incidence of CA was 8.8/1000 births. GIT, CNS and CVS were most commonly affected. Dominant maternal risk factors for anomalous babies were previous history of abortion and previous anomalous baby.


Background
Imaging, in radiotherapy, has become a routine tool for repositioning of the target volume at each session. The repositioning precision, currently infracentimetric, evolves along with the irradiation techniques. This retrospective study aimed to identify practices and doses resulting from the use of high energy planar imaging (portal imaging) in daily practice.

Methods
A retrospective survey of portal images (PIs) was carried out over 10 years for 2,403 patients and for three linacs (1 Elekta SLi, 2 Varian Clinac) for postoperative mammary irradiations. Images were taken using a standardized number of monitor units (MU) for all patients. Due to the variable sensitivities of the detectors and the possibility of adjustment of the detector-patient distance, the number of MU were 3; 2 and 1 respectively, for Elekta SLi®, Clinac 600® and Clinac 2100®. Then, a representative cumulated dose was calculated in simplified reference conditions (5 cm depth, beam of 10 cm × 10 cm, 6 MV), considering the total number of images taken during the whole treatment course. The consistency between the representative doses and the actual absorbed doses received by the patients was verified by simulating a series of typical cases with the treatment plan dose calculation system.

Results
The delivered doses differ significantly between the three linacs. The mean representative dose values by complete treatment were 0.695; 0.241 and 0.216 Gy, respectively, for SLi, Clinac 600 and Clinac 2100. However, 15 patients were exposed to a dose >2 Gy with a maximum dose of 5.05 Gy. The simulated doses were very similar to the representative doses.

Conclusions
A significant dose delivery was highlighted by this study. These representative doses are presently communicated weekly to the radiation oncologist for the radiation protection of their patients. Moreover, they should be taken into account in a possible study of long-term stochastic risks.


In this comparative study, the total phenolic content and flavonoid concentration, as well as free radical scavenging and antimicrobial activity of Anchusa officinalis L. were investigated. Different extracts from above ground flowering plant parts were obtained by extraction using water, methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether. Highest content of total phenolics, determined spectrophotometrically with Folin-Ciocalteu's reagent, were recorded in the methanolic extract (116.42 mg GAE/gm of dry extract). The concentration of flavonoids, determined using spectrophotometrically method with aluminum chloride, was highest in acetone extract (146.43 mg RUE/gm of dry extract). The free radical scavenging activity was determined in vitro using DPPH reagent. The greatest antioxidant activity was expressed in methanolic extract (181.85 μg/ml). In vitro antimicrobial activities were determined using a microdilution analysis method – minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined. Methanolic extract demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against G-positive Staphylococcus aureus and S. aureus ATCC 25923 with MIC values below 0.156 mg/ml. Based on the results, A. officinalis can be regarded as promising plant source with high value of biologically active compounds.


In this work we investigated the effect of three types of fat substances based on the use of saturated fat (SF) and unsaturated fat (USF) and also mixing between them with different level proportion in the diet of broiler ( Ross-308 ) chickens.  Live body weight (LBW) at the end of feeding, daily weight gain (DWG), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were evaluated. One-day 800 chickens were divided to four testing groups C, T1, T2, and T3 each group has 4 repletion's. The fattening was 42 days in length and diets pre-starter (7 d), starter (9 d), grower (17 d) and finisher (5 d). For testing groups were enhanced with C group 5% packed fat and T1  2.5 % packed fat +2.5% rapeseed, T2 2.5% packed fat+2.5% sunflower oil, T3 2.5% packed fat +1.25 rapeseed +1.25% sunflower oil. There were insignificant differences (P>0.05) for LBW and DWG at all periods breeding and both sexes except finisher period for male was significant differences (P 0.05) for FI. All tested groups consumed less feed than C group. There were significant differences (P<0.05) for FCR at all periods breeding and for both sex except finisher period for female was significant differences (P<0.05). The best value of FCR was achieved in group C in male chickens in last two feeding phase, while in female chickens the best obtained in group C also at 35 d compared to other groups. For production index (PI) there were significant differences (P<0.05) among all treatments both of sex.


Deng Xiaoping's theory,an ideology to hold all Chinese of different nationalities together,is an independent discipline with integrated and scientific theoretical system in current higher education.To make students consciously take the Deng Xiaoping's Theory as a guide for their actions,we should innovate our teaching modes and approaches by making the whole theoretical system clear,renewing its content and making its methodologies flexible.


An inventory was earried out in 0.5 ha of forest in lhe Sacavem Reserve of the Bacanga State Park. The Park is located in lhe Sao Luis city (2" 32'S; 44" 17'W). capital of the Stale of Maranhao, Brazil, al an altitude of about 30 m. The original vegetation consisted of a humid tropical forest locally termed 'Pre-Amazonian foiesl'. The sampling was made in remaining forest patches using 50 quadrais of 10x 10 m each. 410 trees were sampled with a minimum perimeter at breast height (PUH) of 15 cm, belonging to 34 families. 66 genera and I 10 species. A further 46 tree species distributed in 41 genera and 25 families were also included bui occunng outside the sampling area and were not used in the quanlitalive analysis. The OHI I varied between 4.8 cm and 86.7 cm. with a mean of 16.28 cm. The minimum, mean and maximum heights were 2.0 m. 11.6 in and 25.0 m. respctively. The results obtained here show that the Sacavem Reserve forest has a species richness index as high as oilier Amazonian locations and. although the mean values for height and diameter are low. its structure is also similar to the several studied sites of the same vegetation.


This report identifies core sustainable parking principles and illustrates how smarter parking management can benefit consumers and businesses in time and money savings, while also leading to more livable, attractive communities. Many aspects of current parking management in the United States do not work reliably or efficiently for anyone: Motorists find themselves circling for long periods in search of a place to park; retail employees take choice parking locations away from potential customers; developers are compelled to provide more parking than the market requires; and traffic managers encounter difficulty handling traffic generated by new parking as there is often no link between parking price, supply and the amount of available road space. Finally, the old parking paradigm doesn't work for the environment, as hidden subsidies encourage over reliance on private car use — a major, growing contributor to global warming and air pollution. A few leading local governments around the country have started to chart a different course, earning both economic and political rewards. This report focuses primarily on these success stories and what we can learn from them.


In order to measure the transient electric field in high- voltage substations, the electric field sensor has to be developed. The active sensor has been developed. In this paper a novel passive sensor is presented. This design is based on the study of the transfer characteristic of the spherical transient electric field probe and the analysis of the traditional passive sensor. As for the spherical probe, the relation of measurement capacity and the induce voltage can be used to select the measurement range. For the passive sensor, the differences of the detection methods of sensing signal is analyzed. When it is directly used to measure the transient electric field in the high-voltage substation, the drawbacks are pointed out in this paper. Based on the former analysis, the advantages of the novel passive sensor are summarized.


Provided are a transistor and a forming method thereof. The forming method of the transistor comprises the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate; etching the semiconductor substrate to form a groove in the semiconductor substrate; sequentially performing epitaxy in the groove to form a threshold value adjustment layer and a current carrier migration layer, wherein the surface of the current carrier migration layer is flush with the surface of the semiconductor substrate, threshold value adjustment ions are doped in the threshold value adjustment layer, and the migration rate of a current carrier in the current carrier migration layer is larger than that of a current carrier in the threshold value adjustment layer; forming a gate structure on the surface of the current carrier migration layer. By means of the forming method of the transistor, the current carrier migration rage of the transistor can be improved, and the short-channel effect of the transistor can be improved.

Public Relation has been identified as a critical element and factor in marketing. It remains a germane tool in the integrated marketing communication or marketing mix phenomenon in the promotion of goods and services and ideas. Until in recent times, Public Relation (PR) has remained in the corporate cell of most companies distinctly and separated from marketing communications thereby limiting the integrative demands for both Public Relations and Marketing to find a complete common ground to leverage from the unique but common objectives of the imperatives of their mission, activities and roles in a given organization. In recent years that 'Berlin wall' or border line has given way in practices in most organization leading to a more effective collaborative synergy particularly in the cooperate goals and management of today's organizations particularly in the areas of marketing promotion as the linkage of both PR and Marketing has become so imperative Succinctly due to the strategic role of Public Relation, the PR function is directly linked and reports to the Chief Executive of the organization within the context of the company's environment while Marketing remains a very integral part and activity of an organization.


The article is devoted to the issue of using a system of modular presentation of verification information. It is noted that automation plays a large role at the present stage of enterprise development. The automation methods in the metrological field of enterprise functioning are revealed. Inconsistencies that potentially arise when providing verification documentation to the auditor in the case of using a digital system for presenting information on verification of measuring instruments are indicated. It is formulated that the use of a modular digital system for presenting information on the verification of measuring instruments, integrated into the digital environment of an enterprise and controlled by the state departmental body, can have a beneficial effect on the activities of the organization as a whole.


Abstract
A user-interactive rule-based computer program was developed for the purpose of mapping and merging multiple hierarchical thesauri. The program DynaSaurI (Dynamic Thesaurus Integration) was tested on subsets of two medical thesauruses, the Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) and the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Each theasurus is treated as a knowledge base, containing information both in the terms and in the various types of relationships between terms. DynaSaurI uses combinations of string matching and tree browsing to propose a ranked array of related MeSH terms for each SNOMED term presented. A medical expert selected the closest match from the array of terms proposed by DynaSaurI and entered the appropriate type of relationship between the terms. The information acquired from the expert was then used to refine DynaSaurI's mapping rules. With DynaSaurI, all 84 SNOMED concepts were successfully merged with and mapped to MeSH Main Headings; 74 (88%) were mapped by the initial DynaSaurI pass, and the remainder by incorporating the user's responses. All merging utilized the relationship descriptions (e.g., "is narrower than") provided by the on-line interaction with the medical expert.


ABSTRACT In the patient discussed in this report, hyperthyroidism developed after section of the pituitary stalk and after anterior pituitary deficiency was evident from clinical examination and laboratory tests. Assays for thyrotropin in the blood at a time when signs of pituitary deficiency existed, showed the presence of a thyroid-activating substance similar to that found in other patients with hyperthyroidism.
