AIM
The object of this study was to provide evidence for a time-reduced diagnostic space in multiple trauma patients by use of a digital X-ray system in the emergency suite.

METHOD
The same algorithm was used in the first attention of 66 severely injured patients. For 21 patients from October 2000 to March 2001 (group 1) conventional X-rays (thorax, pelvis, spine and extremities) were performed in the analogue way, for 45 patients from April to December 2001 (group 2) the new digital system (Philips Optimum and Philips PCR AC 500) was used.

RESULTS
The two groups were similar concerning age, sex and injury severity. The time-space from the patient's delivery in the emergency suite to the handing over in the operation theatre or intensive care unit was significantly lower in group 2 (87 +/- 33 min, p < 0.001) than in group 1 (121 +/- 49 min).

CONCLUSION
Digital imaging with conventional X-rays in the first attention of multiple trauma patients reduces the diagnostic time by more than half an hour, when applying the same diagnostic algorithm.


We introduce a unique material ensemble to boost the photocatalytic activity of m-BiVO4 by creating dual heterojunction of bismuth oxybromide nanosheets and Pd nanodomains. The m-BiVO4/BiOBr/Pd ternary composite demonstrates substantially higher photocatalytic activity compared to pure m-BiVO4. We demonstrate for the first time the use of such visible light photocatalyst in highly efficient degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls.

The analysis of new approaches for studying the properties of the biological environment and their application for solving the problem of drug directional transport is performed.


Hybrid-code simulations of slow shocks indicate that there exists a critical number, M{sub c}, such that slow shocks with an intermediate Mach number M{sub I} {ge} M{sub c} have a rotational wave train and slow shocks with M{sub I} < M{sub c} do not have such a wave train. The authors propose an ion heating mechanism of slow shocks, which is associated with the chaotic motion of particles in the downstream wave field. For a coherent electromagnetic wave propagating along the downstream magnetic field, corresponding to switch-off shocks, the particle motions are not chaotic. For an oblique wave, the interaction between the particles and the wave field may lead to chaotic particle motions. Such particles may be greatly thermalized within one wave-length after they are incident into the downstream wave field. The results can be used to explain the existence of the critical intermediate Mach number observed in the hybrid simulations.


This paper describes the expansion of the measurable range of the temperature measurement method using a thermo-chromic liquid crystal. At first, we investigated the relationship between the profile of the spectrum intensity of the scattered light from the surface of the thermo-chromic liquid crystal and the temperature. A halogen light source with an infrared cutoff filter was used as the irradiation light source. Results show that the spectrum intensity of the scattered light increased monotonically with temperature in the range of wavelength shorter than 450nm, and the temperature could be identified by measuring the spectrum intensity of only a single specific narrow-band wavelength. The range of the measurable temperature of the method using this relation was validated using a monochrome-camera and narrow band-path filter of 442nm with FWHN=10nm. It was found that the measurable temperature range became about two times broader than that of conventional methods. In addition, the application of this method to the measurement of the two-dimensional temperature distribution was performed and temperatures with the range wider than that of conventional methods could be measured.


Introduction: Early detection of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) patients with cirrhosis is critical to enhance PHC patients' survival rates and to save medical costs. The study aimed to generate real world evidence to support the importance for early detection of PHC patients, and this evidence will contribute to a cost effectiveness analysis of the national liver cancer surveillance program. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 98,275 PHC patients with cirrhosis in the National Center Cancer Registry from 2005 to 2014, linked to the Korea National Health Insurance claims database. The hazard ratio (HR) of mortality within five years and medical costs for the patients were compared by surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) stage. Results: There were differences in survival rates and medical costs depending on their characteristics including sex, age at diagnosis, SEER stage and types of initial treatment of cancer. The HR of mortality within five years of the PHC patients with distant stage versus local stage was 3.36 with 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI: 3.33–3.38) which is higher than those of the patients with regional stage (HR 1.93, 95% CI: 1.92–1.95). The estimated annual medical cost was USD 38,208 with standard deviation (SD) 54,399 for localized stage but USD 16,345 (SD 42,377) for distant stage. Conclusions: If PHC patients with cirrhosis were detected at early stage, their survival rates would be clinically better with a big saving for medical costs than if they were detected at distant stage. This result itself highlights that importance of the national liver cancer surveillance program. Future studies are indicated to apply these quantitative results into the cost-effectiveness analysis of the Korean national liver cancer surveillance program.

This paper covers a novel method named wavelet packet transform based Elman recurrent neural network(WPTERNN) for the simultaneous kinetic determination of periodate and iodate. The wavelet packet representations of signals provide a local time-frequency description, thus in the wavelet packet domain, the quality of the noise removal can be improved. The Elman recurrent network was applied to non-linear multivariate calibration. In this case, by means of optimization, the wavelet function, decomposition level and number of hidden nodes for WPTERNN method were selected as D4, 5 and 5 respectively. A program PWPTERNN was designed to perform multicomponent kinetic determination. The relative standard error of prediction(RSEP) for all the components with WPTERNN, Elman RNN and PLS were 3.23%, 11.8% and 10.9% respectively. The experimental results show that the method is better than the others.


Micro displays targeting virtual and augmented reality applications require pixel size in the range of $10\times 10\mu \mathrm{m}$ or below. Having InGaN based LEDs to emit directly over the full red-green-blue (RGB) spectrum would enable a cost effective transfer and integration. Green and red InGaN based LEDs initially suffer from low internal quantum efficiencies (IQE) and external quantum efficiencies (EQE) as compared to blue LEDs. One solution could be to reduce the strain in the overall structure thanks to an InGaN pseudo-substrate. The Smart Cut™technology enables the layer transfer and strain relaxation of patterned InGaN films. Pattern size can extend from $10\mu \mathrm{m}$ up to 1mm. This process is today available on 100mm and is being transferred to 150mm wafers. According to the In content of the donor InGaN layer, the a (in-plane) lattice parameter can be tuned up to 3.219A. Full InGaN LED containing InGaN/InGaN multiple quantum wells structures are grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on this engineered substrate with a lattice parameter of 3.205A. Long wavelengths have been reached, up to 630nm with FWHM of 48nm at 0.8 A/cm2, thanks to the reduced strain in the overall structure which enables a higher In incorporation during the growth.


The rare autosornd recessive disease Fanconi Anemia (FA) is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, congenital malformations and elevated cancer susceptibility. Cells derived h m FA patients exhibit chromosoma1 instability, hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents and oxygen and an increased predisposition to undergo apoptosis. FA is geneticdly heterogeneous, with at Ieast seven complementation groups (FA-A through FA-G). The gene defective in FA-C patients (FANCC) lacks significant homology with other knom genes and its function is pmrly defineci. Here I demoustrate that the FANCC gene piays an essentid role in ensuring the sinvivaI of hematopoietic celis following growth factor deprivation. Ushg retroviralmediateci gene M e r , 1 present evidence that overexpression of the FANCC gene in the interleukin-3 (IL-3) dependent hematopoietic progenitor ceUs ünes, 32D and M07e, suppresses apoptosis induced by IL-3 withdrawd.

Purpose – The aim of this paper is explore consequences of ambivalence and ambiguity on self‐concept, decision‐making, and quality of interrelationships between management and employees in one for‐profit organisation.Design/methodology/approach – Data were re‐read to reveal that organisational members were constantly engaged in the process of changing their perceptions of "who" and "what" were "good" and "bad" in reaction to environmental change impacts.Findings – The paper finds that philosophically, "splitting" is an age‐old form of decision‐making; psychodynamically, "splitting" is not necessarily a signal to a pathology but instead is merely an initiator of ambiguity and ambivalence that leverages change; from a change management perspective, "splitting" can reinforce polarisation that can impede the desire to engage in continual change; and predictions and perceptions of change consequences underscore both the quality and quantity of "splitting" in regard to polarisation. "Splitting" is an integral d...


Ihmels, Carsten Wolfgang Metallocene Catalyzed Gasphase Polymerisation of Ethylene in a Minireactor In the presented work the gasphase polymerization of ethylene by silica supported metallocene catalysts was studied. The catalysts where based on zirconium and hafnium and contain methylaluminoxane as cocatalyst. The polymerization experiments were performed in a minireactor at ethylene partial pressures between 2,3 and 5,3 bar at constant temperatures from 70 to 90 °C. Catalyst amounts between 2 and 10 mg were used. Reproducible results could be obtained. The resulting activity-time-courses of polymerization exhibited an activation and deactivation period. These periods could be attributed partly to chemical reactions and partly to physical processes (catalyst fragmentation, temperature effects). By means of videomicroscopy the growth of single particles of all three metallocene catalysts could be studied. Approximately one quarter of all observed particles turned out to be inactive and the active ones showed different activity characteristics. By videomicroscopic analysis of molten polymer particles a slowly and successively proceeding fragmentation of catalyst particles was determined and indirectly confirmed by the thermal analysis of the recrystallization process of the polymer melt. Scanning electron microscopy showed that big polymer particles consisted of an agglomerate of subparticles. Computer tomographic analysis showed a pronounced polymer porosity of 50 %. The kinetic investigations of ethylene polymerization showed a strong influence of mass and heat transport. During the polymerization temperature rises of the polymer particles up to 22 ° C where measured. The temperature increase influenced the activity profile of the polymerization process. The activity courses could be simulated by a simple chemical model in case of low polymerization activities and low temperature rises.


The invention discloses a system-on-chip, a testing method and a testing system of the system-on-chip. The system-on-chip in the invention comprises: a microcontroller, a pin multiplexing controller, a bootstrap memory chip selection control input pin and an interface pin of the memory for connecting an external bootstrap memory which is positioned outside the system-on-chip, wherein, when the level of the pin multiplexing controller on the bootstrap memory chip selection control input pin is the out-chip start level, the external bootstrap memory is enabled through the interface pin of the memory; the microcontroller reads a testing procedure from the external bootstrap memory through the interface pin of the memory after the external bootstrap memory is enabled. The proposal can effectively overcome the shortcoming that the test can not be carried out due to the error of a JTAG interface related circuit.


Periostin (PN) (also known as osteoblast-specific factor OSF-2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POSTN gene and has been correlated with a reduced survival of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients, with the well-known effect of inducing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The present study investigated the effect of PN, through integrin (ITG)α5β1, in EMT-mediated CCA aggressiveness. The alterations in EMT-related gene and protein expression were investigated by real-time PCR, western blot analysis and zymogram. The effects of PN on migration and the level of TWIST-2 were assessed in CCA cells with and without siITGα5 transfection. PN was found to induce CCA cell migration and EMT features, including increments in Twist-related protein 2 (TWIST-2), zinc finger protein SNAI1 (SNAIL-1), α-smooth muscle actin (ASMA), vimentin (VIM) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9), and a reduction in cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) together with cytoplasmic translocation of E-cadherin (CDH-1). Additionally, PN markedly induced MMP-9 activity. TWIST-2 was significantly induced in PN-treated CCA cells; this effect was attenuated in the ITGα5β1-knockdown cells and corresponded to reduced migration of the cancer cells. These results indicated that PN induced CCA migration through ITGα5β1/TWIST-2-mediated EMT. Moreover, clinical samples from CCA patients showed that higher levels of TWIST-2 were significantly correlated with shorter survival time. In conclusion, the ITGα5β1-mediated TWIST-2 signaling pathway regulates PN-induced EMT in CCA progression, and TWIST-2 is a prognostic marker of poor survival in CCA patients.


The influence of the main agricultural practices on the yield and its structure of spring wheat spelled variety Pskovityanka when cultivated on soddy-podzolic soil was studied. The studies were carried out in 2019–2020 on the fields of the FSBSI Federal Research Center for Bast Fiber Crops of the Pskov. Experimental options included three factors: levels of mineral fertilizers - control (without fertilizer), N60P60K60, N90P90K90, N120P120K120; seeding rates - 4, 5 and 6 million germinating seeds/ha; sowing dates - I and II decade of May. Studies have shown that the largest weight of 1000 grains - 37.5 and 37.7 g - was obtained when sowing emmer in the second decade of May with a seeding rate of 5 and 6 million units/ha against the background of applying mineral fertilizers at a dose of N90P90K90. On average, over the years of research, according to the variants of the experiment, from 16.5 to 25.8 q/ha of spelled grain was obtained. It has been established that the most effective factor is the use of mineral fertilizers, which, in the studied doses, provided an additional 2.4 to 5.5 q/ha of grain according to the experimental options. The shift in the sowing date of spelt to the second decade of May made it possible to have a significant increase in yield from 2.2 to 4.0 q/ha of grain. Seeding rates turned out to be a less effective factor, an increase in which from 4 to 6 million units/ha contributed to an increase in grain productivity by 1.5–4.1 q/ha. The highest yield of spelled at the level of 25.1–25.8 q/ha was obtained when the crop was sown in the second decade of May with seeding rates of 5 and 6 million units per hectare against the background of mineral fertilizers N90P90K90.


Over the past decade, the US opioid epidemic has generated a plethora of socioeconomic issues and is arguably the most pressing health crisis in the USA today.[1][1] Nearly 6% of the US population aged 15–64 reported abusing opioids in 2015, and, in the same year, there were 35 000 opioid overdose


This study analyzed the codon usage patterns in three completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes. The major influences on codon usage biases were identified. It was predicted that most of the as yet unidentified open reading frames will be shown to encode functional proteins. It was also shown that translational selection in Mycoplasma genitalium has been unable to overcome the effects of random genetic drift. The dual influences of mutational pressure and translational selection are at play in the genomes of Haemophilia influenzae and Methanococcus jannaschii. In addition, there is considerable variation in base composition around the genome of M. genitalium, and this variation is gradual. These data support the theory that regional variation in base composition can be attributed to alterations in the dNTP pool during DNA replication.


In the aspect of institution and mechanism of social adaptability,higher vocational education confronted with the following problems:the system is rigid and lack of robust;the system is too traditional and lack of personality;the system is random and lack of stability and motivity mechanism;the boosting force of government isn't enough and financial investment is shortage.The main reasons are that vocational education is excessively influenced by traditional view and original system and controlled by formalized and single system.Therefore,the new system for higher vocational education should be constructed,which should strengthen the intervention of government,pay attention to the openness of higher vocational schools,fully embody the dual-subjectivity of industry and enterprise.


Fast fragmentation of 20nm iron oxide and 60nm tin oxide nanoparticles into a few nanometer nanoparticles in a diffusion oxyhydrogen flame is reported. The phenomenon is explained by the in situ reduction of generated 20–60nm nanoparticles. The fragmentation occurs due to reduction induced instability in the oxygen-deficient surface. Simulated experiments with electron irradiation and characterization with x-ray absorption spectroscopy substantiated this mechanism. This finding may open a route to continuously generate a few nanometer scale nanoparticles of various oxides in a flame synthesis.


Objective To study the clinical characteristics and the drug sensitivity of neonatal septicemia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in order to provide the evidences for the diagnosis and treat- ment.Methods A retrospective analysis including clinical data and drug sensitivity results was made in 24 neonates with septicemia caused by Klebsiella pnenmoniae.Results Neonatal septicemia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae could be damaging to many organs including extremities embolism.Imipenem and Amikacin were the sensitive drugs,but cephalosporins was not.The effect of using sensitive drugs in time to treat the disease was satisfactory.Conclusion The incidence of neonatal septicemia caused by Kleb- siella pneumoniae was higher than ever,and many of them were infected in hospital and were insensitive to common antibiotics.Carbapenems such as imipenem and meropenem were the first choice to Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.


It is not easy for criminals to escape the long arm of the law. Usually a suspect leaves a clue in a crime scene. From a dentist perspective mostly it will be a bite marks. Bite mark is a pattern made by teeth on a substrate. By comparing the dental status and DNA analysis it is possible now to identify a criminal. Scientific approach always requires a proper observation, recording and analysing when inspecting a clue. When analysing a bite marks it is necessary to follow the same scientific approach.It becomes a need for a dentist to know the normal bite marks and its variation. Present article throws a light on these aspects and adds little bit on way of presenting it.


Respiratory activity during crying was investigated in seven infants (age‐range 28 to 55 weeks) who were each observed three times at intervals averaging four weeks. Pneumographic measurement of thoracic and abdominal circumference changes was used to obtain information concerning respiratory rate, inspiratory/expiratory time relationships, and regional predominance and co‐ordination. Respiration during crying was characterised by a marked reduction in respiratory rate over the age range, stability of the I‐fraction, and equal thoracic and abdominal participation with some asynchronism. When taken with the results of other studies, the present findings suggest that the respiratory adaptations seen in crying are not unlike those observed in adult speech, and that there are important developmental changes in the respiratory adaptations of the cry of the infant.


The purpose of this research was to demonstrate that the introduction of game, playing, in general, as part of the kinesthetic therapeutic treatment under the form of ludotherapy can enhance the recovery of the neuromotor dysfunctions of the research subjects. The complex, medico-psycho-kinesthetic evaluation was the starting point for the success of the therapeutic behavior. Ludotherapy increases the stability and the balance in sitting, quadrupeds and on knees and can amplify the effects of rehabilitation in subjects with neuromotor disability. The research took into consideration the children's medical records, the social investigation, focusing on their living conditions and family relationships, the conclusions and recommendations of the multidisciplinary team of specialists, the therapeutic intervention plan for each area, the anamnestic interview, the systematic, active, intentional, structured observation, the Portage Guide, the psychomotor assessment scale, testing the playful level and the functional motor level. The data were useful in order to know the child on all levels and to determine a ludotherapeutic conduct appropriate for each child depending on his mental structure, the current deficit and his level of cognitive development. The therapy aimed at developing and educating the motor skills of the children with neuromotor dysfunctions in a pleasant way, through games, by engaging the entire range of motor actions. The experiment was conducted over a period of three months, a total of four subjects, with ages between 3 and 4, with different clinical diagnoses. The therapy through games was conducted either individually, when we sought to capture attention and voluntary control for the finesse activities, the eye-hand coordination activities, or collectively for training balance and walk in different positions. The obtained results were possible due to the introduction of ludotherapy during the kinesthetic therapeutic treatment, making a positive impact on children, recording good progress meeting by meeting.

Maud Sellers, in 1912, introduced the notion that the York guilds which produced the civic Corpus Christi plays found them to be "an intolerable and vexatious burden." The idea has persisted. However, the picture of guild support for the plays is complex, especially during the period of economic and civic decline which in fact impoverished some guilds and left others with a membership deficit due to the inability to maintain their numbers. York, like other cities, was unable to maintain its population without immigration from outside since the death rate exceeded the birth rate. Pestilence and disease played a part in this with consequences for the plays, including the effect on the personnel available for playing the roles. Other indicators, such as strong support for parish churches, are signs of enthusiasm for efforts to maintain the cultural memory involved in recalling salvation history. The result was a play cycle, albeit not without changes, that continued to be produced over a very long run of two centuries.


My essay is focused on the question of love in Jean-Luc Nancy, linked to the question of sacrifice. The point of departure is the reading of Bataille's writings on sacrifice and thinking, which is central in Nancy's text L'Insacrifiable . Then I move on the strong relationship with Heidegger. For Nancy, as for Heidegger, thought does not master its object; rather, it "undergoes an experience, and lets the experience inscribe itself". In Heidegger Sein und Zeit , Nancy found the very idea of being in the world, being-there ( Dasein ) as being-with-other, being exposed to the other. A singularity which is not a substance or an atom, one and indivisible, closed upon itself, absolved from any contact with others, but rather a being is singular not because it is enclosed within a limit that would separate it from other beings, but because it exists on the limit, on the edge. It is neither inside nor outside, but it is essentially ex-posed, turned inside out. This existence-as-exposition or this being-at-the-limit is an 'offering,' Being's multiplicity is not the result of its lacking unity; it is absolute in its plurality, and existence in this sense is 'infinitely finite.' Nancy wants to undermine the idea of pure presence that runs through the early Levinas; he invokes love in order to show that being is never a brute totality, and that in love, even the self finds itself to be broken, shattered, and intruded into, since Being has been always already shattered, exploded.


To comprehend the new, the unknown, we often fall upon the old, the known. Thus, in the time of Volta and Ohm (circa 1800) many of the conceptions of electricity were based upon similarity with the older arts, i.e., hydraulics, mechanics and heat. Volta was among the first to recognize tbat the phenomena goouped under the name of galvanism were a manifestation of "electricity in rr:otion" as contrasted with the older electrical phe· nomena which re�sented "electricity in tensio,:!." Since there was no e'vldence of accumulation of electricity at any point in a circuit it followed that the current could be represented figuratively by the flow of an incompres sible fluid along rigid and ine)(tensible pipes. Ohm used Fourier's analyses of the conduction of heat to derive electrical laws and he was instrumental in developing the concepts of "current" and "electromotive force. "I Thus since the earliest days of electrical theory,electro-motive force became endowed with the attributes akin to a mechanical force of hydraulic pressure, and electric current has been thought of as being of similar nature as mechanical velocity or the velocity of fluid flow. Un doubtedly, these classical concepts form the historical basis for equivalent circuit analysis as it is known today. Tlie early analogies became especially important during the end of the 19th century when ac electricity was still in its infancy while the theory of vibrations and sound had been already highly developed by llayleigh and others. It was d.iscovered that certain differential equa tions developed for use with vibrating mechanical bodies were equally applicable to electrical quantities. Rayleigh was among the first to bring the subject of alternating current electricity within the scope of acoustics and to prove that similar mathematical principles were applicable t o both phenomena.' .\luch has happened during the half century which followed Ilayleigh's writings to change the relative technological positions of electricity, acoustics and mechan ics. The improvement in electrical circuit ele ments, oscillators, amplifiers, oscillographs and meters and indeed the perfection of the "analogy" computer have made of the electrical network a most useful and flexible analytical tool. 'Therefore, we find an ever-in-


It discusses the basic knowledge and generating method of Base Body in the course of traditional Engineering Graphics, and produces the teaching methods about the creating of Basic body in the course combined with NX software in the paper. Solid model can be divided into base body and assembly. The simple base body can be gotten by using Primitive Feature of NX, and the more complex assembly model can be implemented by sweeping the sketch of NX using some sweeping features like Extrude and Rotate etc. The practice has proved that the method about the combination of NX and the traditional theory could make the knowledge points more intuitive and easier in teaching, and could also improve the efficiency and teaching quality. The concept of base body According the complexity of the model, it can be divided into Base Body and Assembly [1-2].The basic geometry with the simple shape is called Base Body. According the difference of the surface's geometry shape, it is divided into two categories including Planar Object and Curved Surface Object. The 3D (three dimensional) geometry with all flat surfaces is called Planar Object, such as Prism, Pyramid etc. as shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the geometry with all curved surface, and the surface made up by curved surfaces and flat surfaces is called curved surface object, such as Cylinders, Cones, Spheres and Rings etc. Figure. 1 The planar objects Figure. 2 The curved surface objects The configuration of Base Body in the conventional mechanical drawing As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, usually the base body can be gotten by rotating or moving sectional geometry objects, which can be lines and surfaces etc. 5th International Conference on Education, Management, Information and Medicine (EMIM 2015) © 2015.

Resistance exercise induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy due to enhanced rates of protein synthesis. Signaling through mTORC1 plays a vital role in integrating signals generated by resistance exercise to control skeletal muscle growth. REDD1 is a negative regulator of mTORC1 signaling whose mRNA expression is reduced in human skeletal muscle following resistance exercise. The purpose of the present study was to determine how changes in REDD1 protein expression correspond with changes in mTORC1 signaling and protein synthesis, following electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve to induce contraction of the tibialis anterior in mice. Thirty min post stimulation, phosphorylation of p70S6K1 (T389) was increased 146% while rates of protein synthesis and REDD1 expression were unchanged compared to control. Four h post stimulation, phosphorylation of p70S6K1 (T389) was further elevated 4.5‐fold and rates of protein synthesis were increased compared to control. At this time point, REDD1 expression was reduced 40%, which was accompanied by a 71% increase in Akt (T308) phosphorylation. These data demonstrate that a reduction in REDD1 expression is not necessary for the initial, weak contraction‐induced stimulation of mTORC1 signaling. However, a subsequent fall in REDD1 expression leads to a more dramatic stimulation of mTORC1 signaling resulting in elevated rates of protein synthesis.

Deden Saputra, "THE TRANSPOSITION IN THE CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS". A Paper : The Departement of English Letter, Faculty of Adab and Humanities SyarifhidayatuJlah Jakarta, March 2007. The main objective of this analysis is the writer has fOlmd scme differences in the result oftranslations between source language and target language. He made notes to find the difierences and compared them certaiply transposition in the COJ!ference of the Birds'. Then, he made conclusion that transposition is procedure involving a change in the grammar from the source iallguage text to the target langu~.ge text. The transposition can replace of textual material in source language text (English Text) by equivalent textual material into another language (Bahasa Indonesia). In translating text from SL into TL, the transposition is ll1&in process in the translation that should be taken by translator. In the analysis of the transposition in the Co'!ference a( the Birds. it appears tbt the transposition that uses mostly is the grammatical structure of the target language or a change of word category occurs from a plural to a singular noun, there is a change from active sentence in source language to passive in target language, Therefore, the translators have no choice and must make the equivalent in the target language teA'!.


It is well known that there are many types of ordering the observations in statistics. Such observations can be obtained from scientific experiments, for example: ordinary order statistics, k-records, Pfeifer records, sequential order statistics, progressively type-II censoring samples with two stages and others. Kamps (1995) suggested a new theoretical technique called generalized order statistics (gos's). This model contains all types of ordering mentioned above. In the last ten years, many researchers in the statistical studies used gos's model in their research.
The significance and importance of the present study are due to:
• The great importance of the gos's due to the important special cases included in this model. The use of general classes of continuous distributions including many probability distributions in addition to the doubly truncated distributions case.
• The importance and applications of statistical Bayesian estimation and prediction in statistical medical and engineering studies, etc. Accordingly, the gos's are used to find Bayesian estimates for parameters of some probability distributions, and Bayesian prediction intervals for some future observations.
The present work has been organized and presented in six chapters. The results can be summarized as follows:
Chapter one containts the current research-related studies were reviewed in addition to the presentation of statistical principles and the two classes of the continuous probability distributions considered in the present study.
In chapter two some recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions and joint moments based on nonadjacent gos's for the two classes in the doubly truncated case are derived. Recurrence relations for single and product moment generating functions and moments are also determined. These results are in concerned with the right and left truncated cases of the two classes. Some examples of the two classes have been illustrated to explain applications of the results. Some of the results in this chapter are accepted for publication (Ahmad and Abu-Shal (2006)) and some other have been submitted for publication.
Chapter three presents recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions for the two classes of finite mixtures continuous distributions based on nonadjacent gos's are derived. Also, recurrence relations for joint, single and product moment generating functions and moments for the two classes of finite mixtures continuous distributions are derived. Some examples of the two classes are given to illustrate the application of these results.
In Chapter four the maximum likelihood and Bayes estimates of the parameters and functions of these parameters for one of the two classes under study using doubly type-II censoring gos's are determined, these results are specialized to the oos's and ourv's. Some examples are presented in order to give numerical comparisons between maximum likelihood estimates and Bayes estimates for various parameters of distributions or functions of them.
In chapter five Bayesian predictive survival function for a future sample of gos's drawn from a class of continuous distributions given a doubly type-II censoring sample from the same class is derived. So, one can derive Bayesian prediction intervals for future observations (one-sample scheme). Bayesian prediction intervals for oos's and ourv's are obtained as special cases from gos's. Two distributions of this class are studied to illustrate the use of Bayesian predictive survival function for finding the predictive interval limits for the future gos's.
 Finally, chapter six discussed Bayesian prediction intervals for future observations from complete sample of gos's which follow a class of continuous distributions given previous doubly type-II censoring sample of gos's from the same class (two-sample scheme) are derived. Two distributions of this class are studied to illustrate the Bayesian prediction intervals for the future gos's. Bayesian prediction intervals for medians of future samples with even or odd sizes, based on previous sample that explained earlier, have been obtained.


On 15 April 2008, the Italian Constitutional Court (ICC) raised for the first time a preliminary question to the European Court of Justice (ECJ). This decision (see judgment No 102/2008 and order No 103/2008) represented a turning point in the ICC's case-law, and calls for a careful assessment of the motives backing such revirement as well as of the legal reasoning that the Italian judges used to wrap it up without repudiating their previous case-law. In addition to this preliminary analysis, the aim of this essay is to explore two themes: i) the developments of the ICC's case-law as regards the role of Community Law and the ECJ, and ii) the appraisal of the interplay between the ICC and the ECJ in the light of the notion of 'interpretive competition'.

The first application looks at cigarette consumption using macro panel data on American states over time. The second application looks at liquor consumption using macro panel data on American states over time. The third application uses micro-panel data on Russian alcohol consumption.


A novel, automatic restoration framework of large picture areas is proposed in this paper. While the damaged picture areas may have been caused by accident or transmission loss, the challenge consists in repairing the occluded or missing image regions in an undetectable way. In this work, the new inpainting method is used as framework for systematic evaluation of relevant structure extrapolation strategies. The important issue of quality-complexity optimization is thoroughly discussed and efficient inpainting tools are established. Recovery of missing dominant structures is done via tensor voting, regression analysis or a combination of both. Combined structure extrapolation considerably reduces the complexity of structure restoration, compared to genuine tensor voting, with overall graceful to imperceptible degradation of the inpainting result. Furthermore, limitations of the tensor voting approach can be avoided by means of polynomial interpolation with additional savings in terms of complexity.


Objective To evaluate the incorporation of BPA, which was synthesized by ourselves, by two different glioma cell lines, and to observe its relationship with the time of cultivation and cell cycle. Methods Two glioma cell lines of C6 and SHG-44 were studied and the primarily cultured rat astrocytes were used as control. The growth curves of the two glioma cell lines and rat astrocytes were plotted, and their doubling time was identified respectively from the curves. All three kinds of cells were incubated in a culture medium, in which 10 B concentration was 50μg/ml for 4h, 8h, 16h, 20h or 24h. Boron concentration in the cells was measured by induced couple plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) after respective culture period. After 24h of incubation, the cells in the G 0 /G 1 phase and those in the G 2 /M phase were isolated by flow cytometry, and boron concentration in each fraction was obtained by ICP-AES. Results The doubling time was 18.5h for both C6 and SHG-44 cells, but 28h for the astrocytes. The boron concentration in glioma cells was constantly higher than that in astrocytes throughout the experiment(P0.01). For both glioma cell lines, the boron concentration was significantly higher in G 2 /M phase than that in G 0 /G 1 phase (P0.01). But such difference was not statistically significant for the astrocytes. Both glioma cell lines had significantly higher boron concentration in G 2/M phase than the astrocytes (P0.01). The boron concentration ratios of C6 and SHG-44 gliomas to astrocytes were 1.46 and 1.51 in G 0 /G 1 phase, and 3.65 and 3.96 in G 2 /M phase, respectively. Conclusions These results indicate that BPA uptake is enhanced during the mitosis of glioma cells. The incorporation of BPA by glioma cells may be closely related with the active transport specific in gliomas.

Abstract- Service learning and sustainable lighting education prepare students for the future and involve them in rural United States communities with high Native American populations. As part of a research grant, faculty developed a service learning curriculum. It taught students how to measure and document existing lighting conditions, including ultraviolet light levels in state-owned historic homes filled with museum artifacts. Students worked under the supervision of museum staff. Students also provided sustainable lighting education to local consumers who were residents of lower income communities. Although study participants consistently ranked incandescent light highest in positive lighting attributes, compact fluorescent light ranked a close second. Student demonstrations of sustainable lighting were integral to consumer education and as a result of these student-led educational sessions, more participants agreed to consider purchasing compact fluorescent lights instead of incandescent bulbs. Thousands of consumers beyond the study participants were reached through exposure at the Environmental Protection Agency National Student Design Expo and a permanently-linked video documentary of the research process.

The objective of this thesis is the design of cornplex wave digital filters (CWDFs) using the pipelineable unitary (PU) algorithm. The advantages of this method are the following: 1. The PU structure can be used for both nomalized and denomalized representations of cornplex adaptors used in the realization of complex wave digital filters with a constraint that denomalized f o m can not be used without multipliem. 2. The PU algorithm allows for the decomposition of high otder digital fitters into a cascaded connedion of simple PU building blocks. The calculation of quantified coefficients is done using the Oiscrete Fourier Transfomi (Dm. At the end, discussion and cornparison of frequency responses for each type of realized CWOF has k e n provided with regard to one another and also with regard to the nominal frequency response of each of these CWDFs. It has been observed that filter design using PU algorithm with the two-port cross adaptor gave better results then two-port adaptor realization used in [4]. Also, this type of adaptor has only one coefficient to work with, narnely fl and p* which differ only by the sign of the real part.

Soil degradation is one of the common types of which is soil salination, is a serious limited factor of food security and sustainable territory development. It is necessary to pay a special attention on the first soil salination of arid regions, as arid climate leads to the active salt accumulation in the upper rooting soil horizons and gives rise to withdrawal of large land areas from economic turnover. The purpose of the this work is defining of the watersoluble salts specific features in soils of the river Volga delta upper level natural boundaries under the influence of natural factors. Botanic natural sanctuary "Svinoroiny meadow (Meshkovsky)" was chosen as a research object, associated with the new Caspian coastal plain within distribution of the river Volga delta Baer knoll landscape. Water extract ions analysis and soil solution toxicity calculation on the area were carried out from 1979 till 2020. It was revealed that dynamics direction of salination types are defined by the ascent of water predominanceon over descending on the area in the conditions of the territory exudative water regime. Salination increase to a great extent depends on the great volumes of spring-summer floods and appropriate ground water level rise, area desalination is defined by atmospheric precipitations quantity.


A novel technique to produce uniform alignment of nematic liquid crystals is presented. The technique is based on producing an anisotropic polymer network in the bulk nematic liquid crystal by polymerizing a photoresist material. Both uniform planar alignment and homeotropic alignment can be obtained depending on the curing conditions. In the case of planar alignment, the nematic director orientation is governed by the direction of the polarization vector of the linearly polarized ultraviolet light, thus making it possible to produce a defined azimuthal orientation of the nematic director. This technique obviates the need to give any previous treatment to the bounding substrates and as such should be independent of the nature of the substrate.


Praseodymium, neodymium, and samarium, in nitrate solutions, have been determined by measuring the transmittancies of the solutions with a doublemonochromator photoelectric spectrophotometer. Spectral transmittancy curves from 350 to 1,000 mil were obtained for lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, and gadolinium. The absorption band found to be most suitable for the determination of praseodymium was at 446 mil; for neodymium, the bands at 521 and 798 mil; and for samarium, 402 mil. Lanthanum, cerium, and gadolinium show negligible absorption between 400 and 1,000 mil. Europium shows a sma)) absorption band at 396 mil. Transmittancy-concentration curves were obtained for the individual elements in concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 25 mg/m!. These curves show that for concentrations up to 10 mg/ml, solutions of neodymium follow Beer's law, while in concentrations greater than 10 mg/ml this law does not hold. Praseodymium and samarium solutions do not follow Beer's law under the conditions used. Approximately 1 mg of praseodymium per 6 ml can be detected. The sensitivity of the neodymium test depends on the band used; 1.5 mg can be detected by using the 521 mIL band and 0.5 mg by using the 798 mil band. The test for samarium is less sensitive than for the other two elements, 3 mg being the minimum detected. Mixtures of the three elements were analyzed and also mixtures of each of the three elements with lanthanum. The mixtures varied from one containing 5.0 mg of neodymium and 200 mg of lanthanum, to one consisting of 75 mg of samarium, 75 mg of praseodymium, and 50 mg of neodymium. A weight of mixed oxides corresponding to approximately 200 mg of rare earth elements was used for each analysis. The accuracy obtained was of the order of ± 3 mg. A method is given for correcting the slight interference of each element in a mixture, and a procedure is outlined for the analysis of a mixture of the cerium group of elements obtained during the course of a mineral analysis.

This paper is essentially perceived to capture the unique experience of India's rubber propagation policy moulded in the backdrop of a virtual dependence on imported R&D inputs and planting materials till 1955. The subsequent policy initiatives in the natural rubber (NR) propagation segment in India varied from the control over production and distribution of planting materials since 1949 to decontrol in 1986. The paper is focused on the interrelationships evolved among various constituent elements in the NR production sector encompassing the early experimental phase (1902-1948), the interventionist phase (1949-1960) underlining control over the production and distribution of planting materials and the terminal phase of intervention characterized by partial decontrol (1961-1986) which preceded the decontrol since 1986.


Introduction The focus of this chapter is on record linkage as a tool for providing information on variables required for a statistical analysis. It is assumed that the data analyst has a primary data file, for example derived from a survey, clinical trial, registry or administrative database. For purposes of statistical modelling there are variables of interest (VOI) that are not recorded in the primary file, but reside in one or more secondary or linking data files to which the analyst has access. It is assumed that the information in the secondary files applies to the same individuals, or a well-defined subset, of those in the primary file. The aim is to transfer the values of the VOI from the individuals in the secondary file to the corresponding individuals in the primary file, and that this will be carried out by 'linking' each primary file individual record to the 'correct' VOI value in the secondary file.


Abstract Vegetatively-propagated female (cv. Hayward) and male (cv. Tomuri) kiwifruit plants (Actinidia chinensis Planch.) were grown from budbreak until at least the emergence of the 28th leaf in constant temperature conditions of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C. At each temperature, Hayward was grown at 2 photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD; 280 and 650 μmol s-1 m-2), whereas Tomuri was grown only at the high photon flux density. Hayward showed a broad optimum for shoot elongation rate, leaf appearance rate, relative growth rate of the new shoot, and relative leaf area growth rate between 20 and 30°C at both high and low PPFD. All growth parameter values were considerably reduced at constant 10°C, and symptoms typical of chilling injury (including loss of chlorophyll and distorted leaf growth) were observed under the high PPFD conditions for this temperature. In contrast, for Tomuri the rates overall were generally higher and values for shoot elongation rate, leaf appearance rate, and estimated relative...


Parkinson's disease (PD) is starting at younger ages. In order to reduce the risk of PD in young people, Rb3 is selected as an active ingredient and assembled into Rb3 nanoparticles (Rb3NPs)encapsulated microbubbles (MBs), shorted for Rb3NPs@MBs. This study uses focused ultrasound‐mediated Rb3NPs@MBs to cross the blood–brain barrier and reach the brain lesions to be intervened in in order to explore the prevention of 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐4‐piperidinpropionate ester (MPTP)‐induced PD by Rb3NPs@MBs and its related mechanisms. In the present study, Rb3NPs@MBs prevent MPTP‐induced tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)‐positive cell decreases, decrease TH expression, increase Park2 expression, and decrease expression of α‐synaptonucleoprotein in the pars compactus nigra (SNc). It is found, in vitro study, that Rb3NPs treatment significantly reverses MPTP‐induced apoptosis and death of PC12/SY5Y cells, which is commonly used mouse/ human neural cell lines. It is also found that Rb3NPs@MBs can prevent the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in SNc. Finally, it is found that DJ‐1 expression decreases after Rb3NPs@MBs are introduced. Results suggest that the neuroprotective activity of Rb3NPs@MBs may be achieved by increasing the expression of DJ‐1 and decreasing the production of ROS. Taken together, these data reveal that Rb3NPs@MBs play an important role in preventing memory deficiency in PD.


A formulation based on direct and adjoint parabolized equations is developed to account for the spatial evolution of perturbations in swept attachment-line boundary layers. For sweep Reynolds numbers larger than Re = 100 the dynamics is dominated by a lift-up mechanism which is responsible for large energy amplification by transforming spanwise vortices into spanwise streaks. This mechanism favours steady perturbations with a chordwise scale that quantitatively matches its counterpart for classical Blasius boundary layers.


LEACH-DCHS CM (LEACH-DCHS cluster maintenance) algorithm based on LEACH-DCHS algorithm is proposed in this paper. By prolonging the steady-state phase time and retaining the concept of round in the original algorithm, the new algorithm achieves the purpose of saving energy ultimately. Simulation results validate the energy efficiency of LEACH-DCHS CM algorithm.

Quantum field theory free from ultraviolet divergence (UV - ∞) is developed here and subsequent papers. For this purpose we introduce a closed 3-dimensional Riemannian momentum space in the rest system of cosmic background radiation and formulate QFT there in tensorial form. To make a transformation to another reference system, we follow general relativity. Thus, our new QFT is general relativistic, violationg Lorentz invariance, or equivalently, special relativity. The finite volume of our momentum space makes all momentum integrals finite, i.e., our QFT is free from UV - ∞. The zero-point vibration of quantized fields gives a contribution to the energy of our expanding universe, which is now finite in our QFT, but is (∞) 4 - (∞) 4 in the conventional Lorentz invariant QFT. Extremely stringent conditions must be satisfied in order to keep the theoretical energy density (due to the zero-point motion of elementary boson and fermion fields in our universe) from exceeding the critical density, ρ crit (3 meV) 4 . Hence softly broken SUSY is absolutely required here, and there is no room for dark matter and/or dark energy.

Background Asthma is known to be a heterogeneous disease that forms a problem in asthma management. Symptom-based asthma phenotyping with endotyping of the proposed phenotype is a trial to solve this problem. Asthma phenotypes and endotypes facilitate research, establish genetic associations, identify biomarkers, and test for new lines of treatment. Aim To clarify the cytokine profile of wheezy asthma phenotype which could pave the way to personalize asthma medicines according to symptom-based asthma phenotypes. Patients and methods A case–control study was conducted in 50 asthmatic patients presented solely with wheezes with a mean±SD of age of 9.54±2.81 years and 50 healthy controls, with a mean±SD of age of 8.98±2.79 years. The studied cases and controls underwent assessment of serum levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), peripheral eosinophilic percent, and pulmonary function tests. Results Wheezy asthma phenotype showed significant increase in parental smoking, positive family history, total serum IgE, peripheral eosinophilic percent, and TGF-β1 compared with controls. However, serum IL-10 showed significant decrease in cases versus controls. Asthmatics with allergic rhinitis showed significant increase in total serum IgE and peripheral eosinophilic percent compared with non-allergic rhinitis asthmatics. Conclusion Wheezy asthma phenotype showed significant increase of serum TGF-β1 as a promoting effect of airway remodeling, significant decrease in serum IL-10, and significant increase of both total serum IgE and eosinophilic percent. This throws a light on the importance of asthma phenotyping according to symptomatology, as a trial toward tailoring asthma medications.

Abstract Let Λ be a lattice in R3 of determinant 1. Define the homogeneous minium of Λ as mn (Λ) = inf |u1, u2, u3| extended over all points (u1, u2, u3) of Λ other than the origin. It is shown that for any given (c1, c2, c3) in R3 there exists a point (u1, u2, u3) of Λ for which provided that ρσ > 1/64 if mn (Λ) = 0, and ρσ ≥1/16.81 if mn (A) > 0.


Diazo decomposition of steroidal diazoacetates, where the point of attachment is the 3-position of the steroid A-ring, catalyzed by chiral dirhodium(II) carboxamidates results in products from carbon-hydrogen insertion in high yield and selectivities. Use of S-configured catalysts shows a distinctive preference for insertion into the 3-position to form beta-lactone products. The R-configured catalysts direct insertion preferentially to the equatorial C-H bond at the 2-position. Substituents or functional groups at the 5/6-position prevent C-H insertion from taking place at the 4-position. Even in the best case with the 5/6-positions fully saturated, however, insertion into the 3-position remains competitive with insertion into the 4-position. Corresponding 3-substituted phenyldiazoacetates give only beta-lactone products, and selectivity here is highest with chiral dirhodium(II) prolinate catalysts. A model is presented to explain these results. Overall, this methodology is versatile for functionalization of the steroid A-ring at positions 2 and 3.


Abstract : We have analyzed polar nephelometer scattering data to infer radiative parameters for the Arctic haze aerosols. We have also used the scattering properties as measured with the nephelometer as well as other measurements of aerosol microphysical properties to improve our estimates of aerosol properties for radiative modeling. We have confirmed earlier estimates of the submicron size distribution and have demonstrated the uniformity of these distributions. We have also shown that the giant particles also have relatively uniform size distributions and have provided an estimate of the infrared effects due to these particles. We have also demonstrated an inconsistency in two of the AGASP data sets and have resolved the discrepancy in terms of the measurement limitations of the data set.


The Italian Space Agency (ASI) has committed its money so heavily elsewhere that it has very little left this year to fund its own researchers. Reports about the Agency's less than lucid handling of its finances refuse to lie down, and it is currently under investigation by the public prosecutor.


Music-based healing is utilized as a healing tool in many cultural contexts around the world. This thesis examines the cultural practice of music therapy in the context of the larger discipline of medicine in the United States through an ethnographic study of music therapists in the Greater Atlanta area. It contextualizes this data with research in medical ethnomusicology that explores cross-cultural traditions of music in healing rituals. It also connects music therapy to the observation that forces of globalization are strongly correlated with an increase in rates of inequality, poverty, stress, and disease. This thesis discusses how Atlanta-area music therapists use music healing with patients suffering from physical and mental disease and how economic stratification impacts access to music therapy. It is concerned with deeper and not immediately evident processes taking place in music therapy, such as the role of music as a medium and facilitator in healing.

There has been an exponential increase in satellite image data availability. Image data are now collected with dissimilar spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. Image fusion techniques are used extensively to combine different images having corresponding information into one single composite. The fused image has rich information that will improve the performance of image analysis algorithms. Pan-sharpening is a pixel level fusion technique used to increase the spatial resolution of the multispectral image using spatial data from the high resolution panchromatic image while preserving the spectral data in the multispectral image. Resolution merge, image integration, and multisensor data fusion are some of the equivalent terms used for pan-sharpening. The pan-sharpening using NSC Transform is the powerful technique for satellite multispectral image enhancement. NSCT is very efficient in representing the directional information and capturing intrinsic geometric structures of the objects and it has characteristics of high resolution, shift invariance, and high directionality. The system simulated result shows that used method provides better resolution in these images rather than prior approaches.


In his essay on The Transparency Society (2015), Byung-Chul Han outlines a network of concepts that might be readily brought to a collective investigation of 'everyday transparency' for the working group at ASTR "Trans-" conference.

The 'walkshopinar' will offer the working group opportunity for a responsive engagement with sites close to the conference venue and short group travels between. A paper will provide a conceptual 'unguided' approach to the site-activity and will facilitate part of the working group's session at the conference on Saturday 5th November (2.15-5.15pm).

The critical imperative of the workshop will be to 'travel light'. No demands will be made of participants and, as example, in lieu of Han's critical positioning on exhibition participants will not be required to engage in anything spectacular. Participants will be encouraged to orient an experience of the sites within a conceptual mapping of transparency through Han's terms; positivity, exhibition, evidence, pornography, acceleration, intimacy, control and information.

The 'unguided' paper will provide a resource for both the mapping process of Han's concepts and seek to further generate the potential of individual responses to 'traveling light through transparency' in Downtown Minneapolis.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled a global shift in healthcare service delivery towards virtualisation, including in Neurosurgery. Our study aims to elucidate the patient and neurosurgeon perceptions of virtual neurosurgery consultations (VNCs) and formulate a guidance algorithm based on our experience. Methods Between June 2020 and December 2020, we prospectively surveyed patients and neurosurgeons following their VNCs using a 10-item survey (four qualitative and six five-point Likert scale questions). Non-parametric hypothesis testing and grounded coding with inter-coder agreement was used to analyse quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Results 106 patients and 10 neurosurgeons completed the survey. Wilcoxon rank-sum test revealed a statistically significant difference between the neurosurgeon and patient responses (p < 0.001). Patients perceived VNCs benefits to be enhanced efficiency (n = 142) and communication (28); and VNCs drawbacks as safety (46), technological (32), and administration (15) issues. Neurosurgeons perceived VNCs benefits to be enhanced efficiency (13), reduced COVID-19 exposure (2); and VNCs drawbacks as examination practicality (14), technological (6), and concerns for patients (6). Neurosurgeons perceived the relative indications for VNCs as postoperative follow-up clinics, and scan result discussions; and relative contraindications as neuro-oncology, new patients, and patients with worsening neurological symptoms. Conclusions Our mirror-survey study provides preliminary evidence that VNCs render increased efficiency, communication, and safety in the current COVID-19 era. Going forward, we believe that further improvements in technology and administration are necessary, greater neurosurgeon appreciation of the patient-perceived benefits of VNCs is required, and neurosurgeons are to exercise clinical discernment on when to use VNCs. Key Points What are the perceptions of patient and consultant neurosurgeons towards virtual neurosurgery consultations (VNCs)? Patient-perceived benefits of VNCs: enhanced efficiency/communication; VNC drawbacks: safety, technological, and administration issues. Neurosurgeon-perceived VNCs benefits of VNCs: enhanced efficiency, reduced COVID-19 exposure; VNC drawbacks: examination practicality, technological, and concerns for patients. Post-operative reviews and scan result discussions are perceived relative indications for VNCs; whereas new patient consultations, neuro-oncology and patients with new-onset neurological deficits are perceived relative contraindications for VNCs. Improvement in technology and administration is necessary; greater neurosurgeon appreciation of patient-perceived VNCs benefits is required, and neurosurgeons are to exercise clinical discernment on when to use VNCs.


The main problems in the theory of singular integral operators are the problems of boundedness, invertibility, Noethericity, and calculation of the index. The general theory of multidimensional singular integral operators over the entire space E_n was constructed by S.G. Mikhlin. It is known that in the two-dimensional case, if the symbol of an operator does not vanish, then the Fredholm theory holds. For operators over a bounded domain, the boundary of this domain significantly affects the solvability of the corresponding operator equations. In this paper, we consider two-dimensional singular integral operators with continuous coefficients over a bounded domain. Such operators are used in many problems in the theory of partial differential equations. In this regard, it is of interest to establish criteria for the considered operators to be Noetherian in the form of explicit conditions on their coefficients. The paper establishes effective necessary and sufficient conditions for two-dimensional singular integral operators to be Noetherian in Lebesgue spaces L_p (D) (considered over the field of real numbers), 1<p<∞, and formulas for calculating indices are given. The method developed by R.V. Duduchava [Duduchava R. On multidimensional singular integral operators. I: The half-space case; II: The case of compact manifolds // J. Operator Theory, 1984, v. 11, 41–76 (I); 199–214 (II)]. In this case, the study of the Noetherian properties of operators is reduced to the factorization of the corresponding matrix-functions and finding their partial indices.

Dynamic networks, e.g., Dynamic Convolution (DY-Conv) and the Mixture of Experts (MoE), have been extensively explored as they can considerably improve the model's representation power with acceptable computational cost. The common practice in implementing dynamic networks is to convert the given static layers into fully dynamic ones where all parameters are dynamic (at least within a single layer) and vary with the input. However, such a fully dynamic setting may cause redundant parameters and high deployment costs, limiting the applicability of dynamic networks to a broader range of tasks and models. The main contributions of our work are challenging the basic commonsense in dynamic networks and proposing a partially dynamic network, namely PAD-Net, to transform the redundant dynamic parameters into static ones. Also, we further design Iterative Mode Partition to partition dynamic and static parameters efficiently. Our method is comprehensively supported by large-scale experiments with two typical advanced dynamic architectures, i.e., DY-Conv and MoE, on both image classification and GLUE benchmarks. Encouragingly, we surpass the fully dynamic networks by +0.7\% top-1 acc with only 30% dynamic parameters for ResNet-50 and +1.9\% average score in language understanding with only 50% dynamic parameters for BERT. Code will be released at: https://github.com/Shwai-He/PAD-Net.


The multi-unmanned underwater vehicles(multi-UUV) cooperative localization technology is important for solving the UUV localization problem in middle depth zone of the sea.To increase lower precision of multi-UUV coop-erative localization using only range measurement,a cooperative localization method of UUV based on unscented Kal-man filter(UKF) is presented in this paper.A follower UUV navigation model is derived from kinematic equation and measurement equation based on range of follower UUV.For the nonlinear navigation model,we designed navigation filtering algorithm using the UKF to avoid linearization of the nonlinear equations,and realized the recursive navigation filtering algorithm.Simulation results show that follower UUV can use the navigation filtering algorithm for real-time positioning.Compared with the traditional dead reckoning method,the new method has higher localization accuracy.


This study presents an empirical study on the effects of budgetary goal characteristics on managerial attitudes and performance in two dimensions of goal clarity and goal difficulty. The results show that budget goal difficulty and budget goal clarity have significant effects on job-related and budget-related attitudes. Furthermore, budget goal difficulty is found to have a positive effect on managerial performance. High level of budget goal difficulty and budget goal clarity will lead to a high degree of budgetary incentives.

The paper reviewed data confirming that sigma1 receptors modulate NMDA neurotransmission. It has been established that they can enhance the spontaneous release of glutamate in the hippocampus, potentiate the release of a neurotrophic factor induced by glutamate, and also participate in the processes of synaptic restructuring (facilitation of long-term potentiation) in the mammalian hippocampus. But the use of high doses of agonists or antagonists of sigma1 receptors in animal models does not have any effect on memory modulation or learning processes in control animals. These findings indicate that sigma1 receptors do not affect the physiological (normal) processes of memory consolidation. The effects of sigma1 receptors considered in the work speak of effects on cognitive processes only in conditions of neurotransmitter imbalance. In a number of works, with the participation of various experimental models, the possible involvement of sigma1 receptors in the processes of memory recovery was revealed. A real breakthrough in the treatment of affective disorders is being made in our time due to an increasingly detailed study of the mechanisms of intracellular receptor structures and chaperone proteins, in particular, sigma receptors. By acting on these mechanisms, side effects in the treatment of depression, inevitable with the use of traditional antidepressants, can be avoided. Also, thanks to modern drugs based on interaction with sigma receptors, it is possible to influence neurogenesis, learning and memory processes. Thus, the sigma-1 receptor is an extremely promising object that can be considered as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of neuropathological diseases

A vibratory conveyor system comprises one or more feeders 22, each comprising a base 32 operationally connected, via a vibratory drive 36, to a trough 34, a local power control circuit 28 and a common electrical supply / bus 26. Each feeder may have a unique power supply requirement and the dedicated power control circuit 28 in each permits such variation in the supply to drive each feeder, whilst allowing a common supply 26 to all the feeders 22 in a series. The system may negate the need for individual power supplies lines to a substantial number of feeders 22 with different power requirements, either intentional, such as due to the use of feeders or differing power ratings, or unintentional, such as due to different rates of wear in individual feeders. Each power control circuit 28 may comprise an output rate adjustment (102, fig.7) which may control at least one of the frequency or magnitude of the drive signal to the vibratory drive 36. The common supply 26 may also carry command signals to each feeder 12, from a cental feeder controller 24, such as to switch each feeder 12 on or off.


This paper presents a new forecasting approach for seasonal regressive time series which applies well-known autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) method to classical decomposition techniques. The proposed technique starts with decomposing time series data into trend-cycle and seasonality components by using multiplicative decomposition. Then the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) is applied to the trend-cycle part to find the model that best describes it. The SARIMA trend-cycle is then combined with estimated seasonal component obtained separately to make a series of forecast values. The proposed forecasting approach is applied to monthly energy data of an electric distribution utility in Thailand. The results of the proposed technique are compared to those of the standard approach, which forecasts the trend-cycle component by projecting it using a mathematical function. The comparison shows that the decomposition forecasting with SARIMA trend-cycle is preferred


The meaning of non-salvation-in-danger should be limited in a right range. It is the fit object to discuss that people who have no duty but have ability to minister somebody run into jeopardy and such help would not lead any danger to himself or any other persons. The substance of should or should not be criminalized is whether stated moral obligations could be the source of legal obligations of nonfeasance .The act based on altruism and egoism should not be treated as crime. Such crimilization is not only unreasonable but also infeasible.

The thermal stresses in the assembly are auxiliaries operating at varying heat loads may exceed the thermal stresess at established stationary conditions. Hence, in order to secure safe operations of the assembly and auxiliaries at variable loads, the rate of these procesess should be limited and the geometry of the assembly reduced to plane or cylindrical wall. A comparative analysis of thermoelastic stresses in the walls at variable loads is made on the basis of the solution for thermal conductivity problem for plane and cylindrical reactor walls having an internal heat source.

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) in a power system network call for the advanced control strategy for accurate operation of micro-grid under both islanded and grid-tied operation mode. The dc-ac converter based DER generally employed convention PI controller and designed in the d-q rotating frame of reference. In this work, the stationary αβ PR controller is used for the grid-tied mode of operation. For accurate power-sharing, the PQ controller is implemented for parallel-connected DGs to feed the available power to the grid side. PR controller exhibits superior performance as compared to the PI regulator, and it eliminates the steady-state error, improved dynamic response, and mitigates the grid harmonics quite effectively and efficiently. To validate the performance of the proposed system, extensive real-time simulations are carried out by using the MATLAB/Simulink environment. Results illustrate the performance of the PR controller is better than a conventional PI controller. The THD of output current in the grid-connected Mode is less than IEEE recommend standard.
