The availability of storage capacity plays an important role for the economic success of solar thermal power plants. For today's parabolic trough power plants, sensible heat storage systems with operation temperatures between 300°C and 390°C can be used. A solid media sensible heat storage system is developed and will be tested in a parabolic trough test loop at PSA, Spain. A simulation tool for the analysis of the transient performance of solid media sensible heat storage systems has been implemented. The computed results show the influence of various parameters describing the storage system. While the effects of the storage material properties are limited, the selected geometry of the storage system is important. The evaluation of a storage system demands the analysis of the complete power plant and not only of the storage unit. Then the capacity of the system is defined by the electric work produced by the power plant, during a discharge process of the storage unit. The choice of the operation strategy for the storage system proves to be essential for the economic optimization. INTRODUCTION During the last decade research, development and demonstration of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) was driven by the solar/fossil hybrid plant approach. Development was mostly dealing with components for concentrating and converting of solar radiation and was directed to receiver, heliostats, collector elements etc. Now, increasing interest is directed towards Thermal Energy Storage (TES) for CSP. Driving forces for storage implementation are climate change and air pollution/CO2 emission as well as legislative regulations and specific credits for "green" electricity. These forces argue for high solar contribution and "solar-only CSP plants". Strategic significance of solar storage technology is caused by several effects: improvement of plant operation, increased power block utilization, power conversion at nominal load, and improvement of revenues. The overall objective of storage integration is to increase the solar annual contribution, improve efficiency and to reduce the Levelized Energy Cost (LEC). Therefore, energy storage integration is an important point for successful implementation of CSP technology. In order to achieve this LEC reduction potential, efficient storage technology with high life time and low initial capital costs is required. G Power Block Thermal Oil Cycle


magined children loom over my life of late. They haunt nearly every conversation as my circle collectively wonders whether, when, and how to procreate. There is the friend weighing climate pessimism and a meager paycheck against his love of kids. The friend who watches graphic birthing videos as a form of contraception. The doctor friend, once eager for babies, who sees ectopic pregnancies and septic miscarriages and deems books


The response of several spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars to preemergence and postemergence applications of chlorsulfuron (tested under code number DPX-4189) {2-chloro-N-[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl] benzenesulfonamide} was evaluated in the field and greenhouse in 1979. In greenhouse experiments, 'Butte' spring wheat was less susceptible than six other spring wheat cultivars to chlorsulfuron at 1.0 kg/ha applied preemergence or postemergence. 'Morex', 'Conquest', and 'Bonanza' barley cultivars were less susceptible than six other barley cultivars to preemergence chlorsulfuron, but barley cultivars were similar in response to postemergence chlorsulfuron. The eight oat cultivars responded similarly to preemergence and postemergence chlorsulfuron at 1.0 kg/ha. Data from two field experiments, which included evaluation of durum wheat [Triticum durum (Desf.)] cultivars, indicated that the four small grains had adequate tolerance to postemergence chlorsulfuron at 0.125 and 0.25 kg/ha, except that durum wheat grain yield was reduced by 0.25 kg/ha at the Rosemount location. No differential cultivar responses to chlorsulfuron occurred among the small grains in the field.


This paper presents a study of the acute upper thermal tolerance and thermal inactivation (IA50) of the membrane-bound (Mg 2+ + Na + + K + )- and Mg 2+ -adenosine triphosphatases of the Baltic amphipods, Monoporeia affinis, inhabiting a stable cold environment (ca. 3.5 °C), and Gammarus spp., living in annually fluctuating temperatures (0-20 °C). For M. affinis the lethal temperatures (LT50) in a continuously rising temperature were 29.8 °C in winter, 29.5 °C in spring and 30.2 °C in summer. For Gammarus spp. the LT50 was 31.0 °C in spring 32.8 °C in summer and 30.2 °C in autumn. Seasonality in the LT50 values was observed in Gammarus spp., but in M. affinis only the summer value differed from the other seasons. The LT50 of M. affinis did not change after temperature acclimation of the animals at 13.5 °C. The thermal inactivation values (IA50) of the ATPases of M. affinis (44.3-47.4 °C) were higher than those of Gammarus spp. (40.3-45.2 °C). In Gammarus differences in the IA50 values between the seasons were found while in M. affinis only between spring and summer.


Summary The performance of UK winter wheat varieties was tested under organic conditions involving farmer participation. Three breadmaking varieties (Hereward, Solstice and Xi19) and their mixture (1:1:1) were grown at 19 UK farms in 2003/04 and 2004/05. The variability of productivity on organic farms was illustrated with more variation among farm sites than among varieties. Seed health was generally high over all sites. Although the trials were successful, more time was needed at project initiation to improve farmer involvement. Some farmers expected more researcher visits, and were reticent about assessing the trials themselves. In contrast, some participants valued the variety performance data on their farms particularly when related to that of other growers. The balance between the goals of the researchers relative to the farmers needs to be defi ned at project initiation.


In this article, we develop a polar format-based algorithm for recovering synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from sparsely/randomly sampled data in the presence of motion compensation/phase errors. Our method integrates conventional SAR autofocus algorithms into an <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\ell _{1}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> norm penalized image recovery problem. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach using a real airborne SAR data set covering a large scene.


Brown-rot fungi are Basidiomycetes that remove cellulose and other polysaccharides from wood, leaving an amorphous, brown, crumbly residue that is composed largely of lignin, hence the name brown-rot. Decay by brown-rot fungi is by far the most serious type of damage to wood in-service. These fungi cause structural failure before losses in total wood substance are detected. The effect of brown-rot fungi on wood strength properties is due to cellulose depolymerization. Worldwide losses of millions of dollars annually result from fungal deterioration of untreated or inadequately-treated wood (11). Several species of brown-rot fungi decay heartwood in living frees. These tree pathogens add to the losses in wood product utilization and threaten forest and plantation stands (9). Brown-rot fungi represent an untapped resource for industrial bioconversion of lignocelluloses. With the unique ability to circumvent the lignin barrier in cellulose utilization, brown-rot fungi offer a potential cost-effective pretreatment process for saccharification of cellulose. Relatively little research attention has been given to identifying the mechanism of wood cellulose depolymerization by brown-rot fungi. The actual biochemical system is not known, but evidence has accumulated in support of an oxidative mechanism of depolymerization. A model of cellulose depolymerization is based on fungal production of extracellular reduced oxygen species.

Aims: To assess the clinical presentation and therapeutic interventions administered to patients suffering from MIS-C in a tertiary centre in Western India.
Study Design:  This is a cross sectional observational study.
Place and Duration of Study:  Department of Pediatrics at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Thane, Maharashtra. It was conducted from September 2021-September 2022.
Methodology: Patients were clinically diagnosed as MIS-C based on the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and retrospective analysis was carried out by reviewing medical records and complementary investigations.
Results: There were 36 children in total, 21 female (58.3%) and 15 males (41.7%) with ages ranging from less than 1 year to 18 years with mean age of 7.2 years. The symptoms were classified based on the organ system involved. Fever was present in most of the patients and Gastrointestinal symptoms in 18 (50%) were the most common followed by respiratory and Central Nervous System symptoms. Investigations revealed that White Blood Cell (WBC) count was predominantly normal in 77.8 %, with lymphocytopenia in 77.8% and reduced Hemoglobin (80.6 %). Inflammatory markers such as D-dimer, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and serum Ferritin were raised in 94%, 88.9%, 86.1% respectively. Most of the patients 34 (94%), were treated with Intravenous steroids. IV immunoglobulin was given in 29 (80.6%). Out of the total 36 patients, there were 2 deaths.
Conclusion: Although SARS-CoV-2 infection is less severe in children than in adults, some pediatric patients may present with severe symptoms requiring intensive care. This case series of patients with MIS-C post COVID-19 identified patterns of clinical presentation and organ system involvement. Most were treated and responded to steroids and immunoglobulins.


A modification of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator is proposed for complex sampling designs, when the computation of inclusion probabilities is prohibitive. In accordance with Fattorini (2006), the inclusion probabilities are estimated by means of independent replications of the sampling scheme. The properties of the resulting estimator are derived. An adaptive algorithm for choosing the appropriate number of replications is proposed and some applications in spatial and environmental sampling are considered.

Abstract A clamped–clamped beam–mass system is considered. The non-linear equations of motion including stretching due to immovable end conditions were derived previously [1] (Ozkaya et al . 1997 Journal of Sound and Vibration 199, 679–696). In addition to five different end conditions considered in reference [1], the case of clamped–clamped edge conditions is treated in this work. Exact solutions for the mode shapes and frequencies are given for the linear part of the problem. For the non-linear problem, approximate solutions using perturbations are searched. Alternatively, the natural frequencies and non-linear corrections are used in training a multi-layer, feed-forward, back propagation artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. Using the algorithm, the numerical calculations are drastically reduced for obtaining the natural frequencies and non-linear corrections corresponding to different input parameters.

The subject of " The R igging of Aeroplanes," upon which Captain Crouch would lecture that evening, was one of the newer developments ot aeronautics. Alwavs important, it had become increasingly important as the number ot machines produced per month was increased. Captain Crouch's experience probably carried him back to the period in which rigging instructions, as they were now known, did not exist. His early experience was obtained mostly with French aviation firms, and the outbreak of war found him near Paris with a good deal of knowledge of aeronautics on his hands. It would be remembered that war was declared on France two or three days before Britain joined the campaign, and during that period France was in an excited state. Consequently Captain Crouch's passage from Paris to Boulogne was not a normal or an ordinary one, and for one short period in the middle of the journey he found himself in the hands of the police as a suspected spy, but finally he got to Boulogne and home, and joined the Royal Naval Air Service. A little later he became associated with Colonel Ogilvie and the repair depot at Dunkirk. The squadron at Dunkirk had done very useful work, and the pioneer squadron was a thorn in the side of the Germans throughout the whole period of the war. In that early period Caj)tain Crouch was associated with the repair and general assembly of the aeroplanes delivered from England. Drawings and spare parts were few, and standard parts were still fewer ; so that, even at that period, rigging was bv no means the art that it was at the present time. He thought Captain Crouch's lecture dealt chiefly with rigging as we now knew it. One of his latest duties before the signing of the Armistice was the working out of some technical details of the bombing squadron which was to attack Berlin. No doubt that would lead anybody to appreciate the importance of the art of rigging a<;roplanes which were expected to remain many hours in the air.


Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have received tremendous attention for solar cells owing to their excellent physical and chemical properties. In quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs), the low charge separation efficiency and low charge collection efficiency are two critical factors that greatly restrict their photovoltaic performance. Band engineering and interface engineering are of great significance for accelerating the separation of photogenerated electron – hole pairs and improving the efficiency of carrier collection to improve the performance of QDSCs. This article reviews the applications of band engineering and interfaces engineering for performance optimization from the perspectives of materials, films, and devices. Firstly, the features of QDs and the working principle and device structure of QDSCs are introduced. Secondly, based on the latest research progress of QDSCs, we overview the specific strategies of the band and interface engineering as well as their positive roles in improving the device performance. Finally, the correlation between band and interface issues and the further research direction of the band and interface engineering for QDSCs prospects are discussed.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the mechanical performances of several Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP). A semi-coarse asphalt concrete with a 35/50 pen bitumen is used to produce three formulations containing 0, 30 and 50% reclaimed asphalt pavements, named R0, R30 and R50, respectively. All specimens are tested under indirect tensile strength test, followed by a recovery phase. A full-field measurement method based on the grid method is used to determine and analyze both displacement and strain fields at the surface of the specimens. An analysis is proposed both at the microscopic and macroscopic scale.


We derive uniform and non-uniform asymptotics of the Charlier polynomials by using difference equation methods alone. The Charlier polynomials are special in that they do not fit into the framework of the turning point theory, despite the fact that they are crucial in the Askey scheme. In this paper, asymptotic approximations are obtained, respectively, in the outside region, an intermediate region, and near the turning points. In particular, we obtain uniform asymptotic approximation at a pair of coalescing turning points with the aid of a local transformation. We also give a uniform approximation at the origin by applying the method of dominant balance and several matching techniques.

In Chinese and Indonesian, particles are often used and occupying an important place specifically in daily conversation. The study distinguishes ways of using particles in order to propose suggestions that can be useful for Chinese learners in Indonesia. In this article, the author describe the four pairs of particles to compare the similarities and differences in terms of syntax, semantics, pragmatics and analyzing the types and reasons in particle's using error for Indonesian learners based on corpus HSK. Where the data sources are the examples of a sentence containing particles, the technique of data collection is the technique of reading and taking notes, and the instrument is a human instrument . The authors found that the four pairs of particles have similarities and differences in syntax, semantics and pragmatics: all of them can be used at the end and middle of the sentence, but not all can be used with other particles; all the pairs can translate to one another and can also be translated into other particles or adverbs, but there are some particles sometimes don't need to be translated; in different contexts, the four pairs of modal particles have different pragmatic functions.  Keywords: particle, Chinese, Indonesian, contrastive analysis

Music is traditionally considered as a temporal art. At the same time, a musical work supposes organisation, unity, continuity. These are attributes of spatiality. By consequence, we are talking in music about a special kind of space - not surfaces or volumes, but a metaphorical one, which we call here the virtual musical space. It is important not only to admit its presence among the musical language elements, but especially to comprehend its structure, and its influence in the modern forms of art.

The paper aims to present the strategies for innovation in construction and demolition waste management in Brazil and to compare them with international ones. The CDW traditional management is very costly to local authorities including several environmental impacts. The Brazilian experience shows that a policy based only on regulation of CDW transportation and landfilling is not totally efficient in controlling illegal dumping. The policy has to be complemented with a network of transfer stations, which cuts down the transportation costs, making illegal dumping less attractive. Despite CDW landfills being a feasible option in small towns, recycling will be a very important tool in big cities like São Paulo. The new policy, as presented by National Resolution 307, is rapidly changing the actual situation, mainly in major cities. In the near future the major market for CDW recycled aggregate will be in road paving activities, but the development of new applications for such materials will be necessary in order to obtain massive recycling and to avoid using sanitary landfills for CDW. The existence of a comprehensive set of research results demonstrating the social cost of CDW mismanagement as well as material wastage rates was crucial because it produced public awareness to the problem and enhanced the discussion within the supply chain. The importance of research on public policy formulation and technological and scientific approaches were presented.

Abstract:Philippine historiography has long ignored the wartime collaboration issues of rural landed elites during the Japanese occupation, some of whom were involved in violent acts. It also has not yet thoroughly examined the unjust judicial consequences of the postwar treason trials under the People's Court, which acquitted most of the accused rural elites and convicted many poor landless peasants who faced the same charges. This article examines the case of Sagay, Negros Occidental, to clarify how the landed rich used the poor in collaborating with the Japanese to protect their sugar interests and how the social division among Negrenses deepened after the war.

To achieve political prosperity and stability, national governments aim to achieve economic equilibrium. The government uses various instruments to stimulate economic growth, reduce unemployment and achieve macroeconomic objectives. In the context of the slow economic growth of recent years and fiscal pressures, Kosovo faces the complex challenge of economic development. Unemployment continues to be at a high rate. This is best shown by the large application for work visas in western countries, especially in Germany and Croatia. The demand for labor is still very low and creating an environment that will favor the creation of sustainable jobs is a challenging task that requires multidimensional reforms in the economy. However, this paper addresses the issue of the impact of fiscal policy on debt forgiveness to businesses, the impact of changing the VAT rate, the eventual increase of the minimum wage and its impact on businesses, the tax imposed on Serbian products and its impact on our products. The purpose of this paper is to show that fiscal policies have a key role in the development of a business as the eventual change of fiscal policies, i.e. profit tax, value added tax, taxes, wages or debt forgiveness directly affects the business activity.


This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of shading treatments and harvesting methods on the growth of Eleutherococcus senticosus, which was known as the medicine of anticancer, anti-stress, hepatic detoxification activity, immunoactivity, and tonic. Light transmission ratio and air temperature were decreased as ,, respectively, in 30% to 70% shading net treatment compared to non-shading. Fifty percentage shading net treatment was effective for the growth and yield of Eleutherococcus senticosus. During summer Eleutherococcus senticosus was growing under shading net treatment compared to non-shading. Tunnel type was more effective for growth than vertical type in shading method. 30cm length included 2 to 3 nodes cutting from soil surface was the most effective for branching stem length, plant height and yield as harvesting methods.

Edge detection is an important task in image processing. Edge is defined as the boundary between two regions separated by two relatively distinct gray level properties. Traditional edge detection methods give rise to the exponential increment of computational time. In this paper, edge detection in gray level images is done by using Renyi entropy and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The Renyi entropy is a one-parameter generalization of the Shannon entropy. Here Renyi entropy was calculated for the one-dimensional histogram of the images. PSO is an efficient and powerful population-based stochastic search technique for solving optimization problems, and this has been widely applicable in many scientific and engineering fields. The selection of the initial population in a population-based heuristic optimization method is most important, as it affects the search for a number of iterations and has an influence on the final solution. If the prior information about the optima is not available, then the initial population is selected randomly using a pseudorandom numbers. The main advantage of PSO algorithm is its simple in structure, easy to use, speed and robustness.


A new concept for accelerating projectiles to ultra high velocities is described. The concept, termed BASH, rapidly (milliseconds) heats a hydrogen U235 mix-ture in a pulsed nuclear reactor. The hot high pressure propellant, which has a sound speed of .'20 km/sec, then accelerates a 2 kilogram projectile in a conventional gas-gun type barrel to a very high velocity, 30 km/sec or more. The BASH gun can fire at a rate of several Hertz, if desired. Features of the BASH gun are described, along with trade studies of performance and a 30 km/sec baseline design. Technical issues are discussed, including protection against high convective and radiative heat transfer rates.


Researchers have shown that receiving suspensions is associated with negative educational outcomes. However, existing studies fail to control for unobservable differences between those students who received suspensions and those who did not. In this study, I compare achievement for a given student across school quarters with varying types and levels of suspensions by taking advantage of a unique dataset that measures student achievement at 12 time points across 3 academic years. Results show that multiple suspensions are associated with lower math and English language arts achievement even after controlling for differences between students. Furthermore, I find suggestive evidence that these associations are stronger for students who have an elevated risk of suspensions.


The CERN baseline scenario for a Neutrino Factory comprises accumulation and compression of the beam delivered by a 2.2 GeV kinetic energy H− linac, to provide the time structure needed on the target. Originally, accumulation and bunch compression in one single ring was envisaged. To limit the RF voltage necessary for bunch rotation, quasi‐isochronous lattices were studied. The low transition energy together with the long circumference, either leads to large dispersion or necessitates the addition of bending magnets with negative deflection angle. Several solutions for quasi‐isochronous lattices were investigated. Finally, the quasi‐isochronous lattices were abandoned, and a solution has been chosen with two separate rings, one for accumulation and the other for bunch‐compression, and conventional lattices working far below transition.


A major problem in the design of VLSI crossbar networks is the simultaneous-switching noise (also known as Delta-I noise), caused by the simultaneous activation of a large number of line-drivers at the output leads of the VLSI package. In a nonblocking configuration, one can reduce the maximum number of active line-drivers in a chip by using extra columns of chips. Tight upper and lower bounds are derived for the number of additional columns required for a one-sided nonblocking crossbar network when a Delta-I constraint is imposed. By using algorithms that allocate paths intelligently, a substantial reduction in the Delta-I constraint is imposed. A substantial reduction in the Delta-I noise can be achieved with a modest hardware overhead, if a small blocking probability is acceptable. The first-fit and the best-fit case bus-allocation policies are introduced.<<ETX>>

Hydrogenated amorphous‐silicon (a‐Si:H) ‐based solar cells consist of two electrodes and a p‐i‐n structure, deposited on glass substrates. Depositing the p‐i‐n layers and the back metallic electrode on an optically rough transparent conducting oxide (TCO) electrode enhances the absorption of the incident light in the active i layer: Light is scattered at the rough front interface and is partially trapped in the high refraction index layer, as in a waveguide. In addition TCO roughness increases the front transmission coefficient, increasing the amount of light in the active layer. TCO texture yields a relative increase of the conversion efficiency up to 30%. A semiempirical model of thin‐film solar‐cell optics is presented, taking into account the interface roughness by introducing experimentally derived scattering coefficients and treating the propagation of specular light in a rigorous way. Numerically simulated spectral response and total reflectance of standard solar cells deposited on different TCO te...


Introduction Epichloë bromicola is a cultivable fungal endophyte that lives in symbiosis with wild barley (Hordeum brevisubulatum) to which it confers salt tolerance. This study tested the hypothesis that E. bromicola derived from wild barley has the potential to increase salt tolerance in cultivated barley under salt stress. Methods To test this hypothesis, the growth response, physiological parameters, and metabolic profiles of barley plants inoculated with E. bromicola (E+) and those not inoculated with E. bromicola (E–) were compared under salt stress. Results Compared with E– barley plants, E+ barley plants had significantly increased plant height, shoot biomass, total biomass, chlorophyll content, osmotic synthesis, and accumulation of stress adaptation metabolites. E. bromicola increased the salt stress tolerance of cultivated barley, and the positive effects correlated with different salt stress conditions. Discussion These results suggest that E. bromicola has promising potential for enhancing the salt tolerance of barley. New insights into the mechanisms underlying this barley–fungal endophyte association are provided, and interesting questions regarding the role of E. bromicola in fungus-enhanced tolerance to salt stress in this symbiosis are raised.


In this paper, I argue that the complex array of qu estion formation processes seen in Indonesian most readily receives a unified analysis when quest ion are viewed as a type of focus construction (following e.g. Kader 1981 for Malay; Horvath 1986 for Hungarian; Rizzi 1997 for Italian; and Bošković 2002 for Slavic multiplewh-fronting languages). I identify a set of five Foc( us) heads in Indonesian, each with a unique constellation of pro pe ties, that together yield all types of constituent questions, yes-no questions, and non-interrogative focus constructio ns attested in Indonesian. I also claim that a number of asymmetri es observed in Indonesian questions can be accounted for with this type of analysis, and discu s many of the directions for future research needed to fully develop this analysis. Lastly, I ar gue that in the overall typology, Indonesian is a 'Unique Focus' (Stoyanova 2008) language, albeit on e with certain unexpected properties.


The modifying transformations of socio-economic processes taking place in Russian regions are largely characterized by high levels of dynamism and uncertainty, as well as multivariate effects, both positive and negative, that pose numerous threats and risks to the sustainable, safe development of socio-economic systems, which actualizes the need for scientific knowledge of the conditions and factors of risks and ways to manage them. The author studies adequate methods and tools for regulating the risks of socio-economic development of regions in the system of a holistic mechanism for ensuring sustainable economic growth. The paper highlights the characteristic regional features and the potential for applying such risk management methods as evasion, localization, dissipation and compensation, examines successful practices of their application in Volgograd region. The author proposes a concept of a mechanism for regulating the risks of the regional economy, which includes a system of directions and measures of state influence on socioeconomic processes and economic entities (regulation "from above") and methods and means by which economic entities in the region influence risk (regulation "from below"). The researcher has carried out an element-wise analysis of the risk management mechanism. The paper highlights its attributes: consistency, complex- and multi-structure properties and effectiveness and systematizes its subject-object and functional characteristics depending on the level of management: national, regional, economic entity level. The author proposes priority directions for the regulation of socio-economic processes that ensure competitive, sustainable and safe development of the region: digitalization of individual markets and industries; improving the institutional environment; development of innovation infrastructure aimed at increasing the efficiency of innovation commercialization.


Abstract Introduction Changes caused by the rigidity of Parkinson's Disease (PD) can affect the mandibular musculature. However, few studies have been published about its impact on the oral opening. Objective To analyze the relationship of the vertical extension of the oral opening with muscular rigidity and sociodemographic factors of the elderly with PD. Material and method This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study that collected data from a primary study conducted at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Federal University of Pernambuco in 2018. Data were collected from medical records and from the questionnaire, Research Diagnostic Criterion for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). The sample was composed of 81 parkinsonians and characterized using: sociodemographic variables and the presence or absence of muscular rigidity. The measures of vertical extension of the oral opening evaluated were: mouth opening without assistance and without pain (ABASD), and maximum mouth opening without assistance (AMBSA). The Pearson's linear correlation and Spearman's correlation tests were applied to investigate the relationship among the continuous variables. Analyses of association were conducted using simple logistic regression. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Result Limitation of the oral opening was not related to age or sex. The greatest level of significance was between mouth opening without assistance and without pain and muscular rigidity (p=0.012), and years of schooling (p=0.038). Conclusion The limitation of mouth opening in people with PD was shown to be related to muscular rigidity and fewer years of schooling.


The nation's highways are in need of extensive maintenance and reconstruction work. High traffic demand requires state and local transportation agencies to consider practical strategies for minimizing a work zones impacts on the travelling public and construction workers. Work zone safety audit is a proactive tool to serve the purpose. The procedure of road safety audit (RSA), can be incorporated in the framework of designing, constructing, and operating road infrastructure as a means for preventing accidents. This paper presents the guidelines for the highway work zone safety audit of Kottayam-Ettumanoor MC road at its construction stage. The construction activities being carried out there resulted in significant road safety issues essentially increase in number of road accidents. A Road Safety Audit was conducted for 11 km in the Kottayam Ettumanoor road stretch and four black spots were identified. The major problems that challenge the safety aspect of the road were identified by a negative response survey and an switching response survey. On the basis of the results of Road Safety Audit, suitable rectification measures were also suggested. Keywords— Safety Audit, Black Spot, Accident Data, Accident Analysis INTRODUCTION Road Safety Audit (RSA) is an evaluation of a highway improvement scheme during design, at the end of construction and post-construction, to identify road safety problems and to suggest measures to eliminate or mitigate any concerns. RSA is an important tool for road safety engineering, which has the potential to make a significant contribution to highway safety. In this thesis the RSA during the construction stage is performed. Several safety problems were identified by the accident analysis and site inspections. The remedies were also suggested based on that. Main Central Road is the arterial state highway of south Kerala, designated as SH1. Chengannur to Ettumanoor 47km highway modernization work of MC road is being carried out as part of Kerala Road Transport Project (KSTP) Phase 2. The road will have a total width of 10 meters and will facilitate two-lane traffic. The road will also have a 7 meter carriage way and sealed shoulder, having width of 1.5 meters. At the urban sections of the road stretch there will be additional footpaths of 2.5m each on either sides of the road. The project also features protection walls and adequate drainage facilities. The construction of several bridges is also being carried out as part of the project. This includes the construction of bridge at Neelimangalam, Manipuzha, Pannikkuzhi, Arattukadavu, Illimala, Thondara and Kallissery. The work is expected to cost 293.58 crore when it is completed. The MC road is one of the busiest road stretches in Kottayam district. The traffic growth, unsatisfactory condition of the road and increased accident rates demanded widening of the stretch. The construction activities being carried out there resulted in significant road safety issues essentially increase in number of road accidents. A Road Safety Audit was conducted for 11 km in the Kottayam – Ettumanoor MC Road. The major problems that challenge the safety aspect of the road were identified by a negative response survey and negative response survey of bus drivers. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Kottayam Ettumanoor MC Road is the study section of the state highway 01 where the road improvement works are in progress. The data collection included in the thesis work is: The cross sectional drawings obtained from the Kerala Public Works Department (PWD). The accident data of Kottayam District was collected from the Kerala State Crime Recording Bureau. The spot speed was measured using Radar speed gun. Both manual counting and video graphic method was used to find the traffic volume of the road stretch. Fig 1.

Professional and amateur sport throughout the world experienced an industry-wide disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial stage of the pandemic required the postponement of leagues and games, until athletic events were resumed without fans. This disruption required the sport industry to adapt and supply substitute products to engage users without the access to the primary product, live sport. In this study, we compare how a North American league (National Basketball Association) and a European league (English Premier League) adapted to these changes using social media to engage with fans. We examine changes in the volume of Tweets and engagements with official team Twitter posts. Our data contain categorical control variables accounting for different stages of the pandemic. This includes when games were canceled for health and safety reasons, when play was resumed in a bubble format, in-season periods, and offseason periods. Examining social media engagement during these periods is a unique opportunity to compare team (supply) strategies and fan reactions (demand) to a disruption, and to explore the longer-term implications such as expanded engagement after the disruption has ended or when its effects have lessened.

[Efficacy of Chitosan gel mucoadhesive containing Doxycycline associated or not to Meloxicam as adjuvant to treatment of gingivitis in dogs with periodontal disease.] Eficacia de um gel de Quitosano Mucoadesivo contendo Doxiciclina associada ou nao ao Meloxicam como coadjuvante ao tratamento da gengivite em caes portadores de doenca periodontal. Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinaria, 38(Supl.2):40-44, 2016.

E-mail: email@example.com Periodontal disease is the highest occurrence condition in the pet clinic, affecting mainly older animals because of its characteristic of chronicity. Among the clinical signs observed in afflicted animals, gingivitis is the first to be observed. The goal of this study was to develop a mucoadhesive gel, containing doxycycline and meloxicam, and evaluate its efficacy as an adjuvant in the treatment of gingivitis induced by periodontal disease, with a clinical and histopathological rating. Eighteen Beagle dogs presenting gingivitis secondary to periodontal disease were divided into three experimental groups. Group I – animals treated with placebo formulation. Group II – Animals treated with a chitosan gel formulation containing doxycycline. Group III - Animals treated with a chitosan gel formulation containing doxycycline and meloxicam. All animals were treated for seven days, every twelve hours, in the gingival margin of the right maxilla. During the clinic evaluation, only the animals treated with the product containing doxycycline had improved. Contrasting, in the histopathologic evaluation, only animals treated with association of doxycycline and meloxicam presented improvements in their clinical score, although no statistic significance was observed between the groups. The developed formulations were not effective as adjuvants in the treatment of gingivitis induced by periodontal disease treatment.


The Carbon Transport-Resistance Allocation Model (C-TRAM) developed for L-system plant models is based on an analogy between the equations for the osmoticpressure generated phloem-sap flow and Ohm's law. This analogy has proved to be rather confusing because some of the model variables, for example source/sink 'electromotive force', do not have any physiological interpretation. Also, the fact that the transport equations are formulated in terms of phloem-sap flow Jp, while organ growth rates are usually expressed in mass carbohydrate flux Js, does not improve model clarity and consistency. The current paper presents a direct way of solving transport equations based on the Munch hypothesis, consistent with boundary conditions in the form of Michaelis-Menten source/sink fluxes, and accounting for the effects of carbohydrate concentration on phloem resistance. Starting from a system of equations for steady-state coupled phloem/xylem flow (Hall and Minchin, 2013), for a constant water potential in the xylem, an equation for the solute mass flow Js in a conduit element can be obtained in a closed form. The boundary problem in the context of L-system plant models was solved using analytical transformations and computational methods similar to the folding/unfolding algorithm of C-TRAM but not based on the electric circuit analogy. The performance of the transport model was tested using a simple system where exact analytical solutions were available (Hall and Minchin, 2013). To our knowledge, this is the first L-system model that combines a rigorous treatment of the carbohydrate transport in a growing system with Michaelis-Menten source/sink functions. The model will be useful in cases where the actual value of the carbohydrate concentration in phloem is important, e.g., sugar signalling. Currently the model is being extended to take into account phloem/xylem coupling.

In response to the need to find better adapted and more persistent perennial grasses for pastures in temperate regions, the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) and the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks and Environment (DPIPWE) developed a number of new pasture grass cultivars, including Exceltas, a cultivar of Bromus coloratus (coloured brome). This paper compares the seasonal herbage production and the persistence of Exceltas with nine commercial cultivars of Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) under dryland conditions at Cressy, Tasmania. Second year seasonal herbage production measurements showed Exceltas, at 8483 kg DM/ha, to be more productive than all the diploid L. perenne cultivars and all the tetraploids, except Bealey, which produced 8041 kg DM/ha. Plant frequency (%) of each line was used as a measure of persistence. Exceltas was the only cultivar whose frequency counts were not significantly reduced by the dry summer experienced in year 2 of the study. The results highlight the potential of B. coloratus cv. Exceltas for use as an alternative perennial grass for dryland temperate pastures receiving >650 mm of annual rainfall or pastures receiving summer rainfall or under irrigation.


In this presentation, we discuss noise floor comparisons of an optical displacement measuring interferometer between air and vacuum environments. A heterodyne interferometer and its phasemeter, with the resolution of 10-6 radian, implemented in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) are utilized for the comparison. A heterodyne laser source consists of a frequency stabilized He-Ne laser and two acoustic optic modulators (AOMs). The interferometer optics and a piezoelectric (PZT) flexure stage which drives the moving retroreflector of the interferometer are placed in a vacuum chamber. In the vacuum environment at 3 mPa, the noise floor of 1 pm/ÖHz or less is attained in the frequency range of 0.01 ~ 100 Hz.


The cultivation of students' moral quality and the all-round development of their healthy personality must be realized by purposeful aesthetic activities. The fact that aesthetic psychology is acquired after birth shows how important the education of aesthetics is in Chinese education.


Methanol crossover is one of the biggest shortcomings for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) due to fact that it causes degradation to the cathode catalyst layer.The flowing electrolyte – direct methanol fuel cell (FE-DMFC) is a potential solution to this shortcoming, whereby the anode and cathode are separated by a flowing liquid electrolyte, such as diluted sulfuric acid. Any methanol that attempts to crossover is removed by the flowing electrolyte channel, thus protecting the cathode. Many researchers have modeled this fuel cell, however the majority of these studies have been single phase and examined the performance of the FE-DMFC under different operating conditions. Recently, a two-phase model of the FE-DMFC has been developed using a single-domain formulation of the multiphase mixture model (MMM). Due to the more realistic modeling predictions from this multiphase model, the single domain formulation will be extended to account for 2D and non-isothermal effects within the FE-DMFC. This proposed two-dimensional two phase, non-isothermal model is formulated and solved in a COMSOL Multiphysics environment and validated against experimental FE-DMFC data. The physics of this fuel cell are examined and discussed for varied inlet temperatures and flow rates of the anode, cathode and flowing electrolyte channel as well as varied set point temperatures (channel wall temperatures). A focus is placed on the energy and thermo-osmotic transport within the fuel cell and their effect on the fuel cell's performance.

Modern Jewish historiography -the study of Jewish sources, by Jews, according to shared methods of research and interpretation was launched in the last century by an uncommonly learned twenty-three-year-old German Jew called Leopold Zunz. Of course he was not the first to submit Jewish texts to the godless rigors of historical criticism. In sixteenth-century Italy Azariah de Rossi had skillfully applied the scholarly procedures of Biondi and the rhetorical sensitivities of the ancients to Scripture, and with unsettling results. Azariah was by all accounts a man of faith, however, albeit one devoted at once to tradition and truth a pious savant inviting trouble and he had confined his explorations in the Bible largely to its chronological passages. Zunz, a child of his own century, was more ambitious. He insisted that all of Judaism's works be consigned to the historian. He submitted a detailed and systematic plan for the totality of Jewish historical research for Wissenschaft des Judentums, as it came to be known. And he proposed, finally, that the Jew of his age adopt the historical attitude not merely as an instrument of study but as a view of life. All this young Zunz packed into an epoch-making manifesto entitled Etwas Uber die rabbinische Literatur, which appeared in Berlin in May, 1818.1 Zunz's essay is short but dense, by turns stolid and shrill, at once an erudite prolegomenon and a popular pamphlet. Its impact upon the intellectual world of nineteenth-century Jewry was considerable; it inaugurated one of the richest and most characteristic enterprises of that world, the distillation of a theory of Judaism out of the scrupulous and doctrinally unprejudiced examination of its past. The Jewish historian envisaged by Zunz was to be a new source of cultural authority, a rival of the rabbi and the philosopher. And such became the often thankless role of Zunz's students and heirs, of Zechariah Frankel, Heinrich Graetz, Simon Dubnow, Gershom Scholem, Yitzhak Baer, Jacob Shatzky and of the master himself. But these larger implications of Zunz's ideal the far-reaching implications of Jewish historiography for Jewish identity are best approached through the polymathic thicket of his program


The use of artificial intelligence (AI) extends from consumer intelligence to enterprise intelligence, leading to a strong increase in productivity. Manufacturing sector has become a blue ocean market for AI due to its massive data accumulation. In 2019, AI met industrial Internet of Things at the edge layer, realizing the first year of AI in industrial flooring. The Asia-pacific region has emerged as a potential market for the industrial applications of AI. However, to what extent the use of AI will contribute to manufacturing sector in China remains largely unknown. In this study, qualitative data were collected using a questionnaire survey method. Twenty respondents from 5 different manufacturing enterprises in China were interviewed, and a set of questionnaires were issued to them. The measurement of time and budget commitments indicated that most of the respondents believed that AI projects did not meet enterprise expectations. This may be attributed to different influential factors such as research and development costs, technology monopoly, security issues and management factors. The present study aimed to understand the application status and development prospects of AI in Chinese manufacturing enterprises, fill in the gap between the ideal and reality of AI projects, and promote the economic growth of manufacturing industry.


Unsaturated ϵ-lactams undergo a novel process involving a skeletal reorganization to give fused pyrrolidine-lactones by reaction with aromatic α-bromo ketones in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and a base. The process involves the formation of an ammonium salt and subsequently a nitrogen ylide, which initiates the rearrangement reaction. This species reduces undesired side-reactions such as double-bond shifts or Morita–Baylis–Hilman-type processes. The resulting products are structurally related to kainoids and the transformation of the lactone moiety in the rearranged product paves the way to the synthesis of these potentially bioactive natural products and their derivatives.

For the purpose of remote command and situation awareness, multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cooperative surveillance with a ground station via multihop communications is presented in this paper. Considering limited communication capacities, a reliable UAV-to-UAV communication relay chain is dynamically established for connectivity maintenance and real-time surveillance information transmission. Firstly, a multiple UAVs cooperative surveillance framework is constructed with history detection information and surveillance payoff estimation. Secondly, four attributes are proposed to characterize differences among UAV alternatives in communication network containing a ground station, and a novel multiple relay UAVs selection scheme based on fuzzy optimum selection is developed to achieve tradeoff between surveillance mission and connectivity maintenance. Furthermore, satisfied with collision avoidance, limited communication and UAV kinematic constraints, the optimal UAV motion plan is obtained by decentralized receding horizon control, which is solved by particle swarm optimization with elite mechanism. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in multi UAVs cooperative surveillance.


Titanium coatings are broadly used for enhancing the surface traits due to their corrosion resistance assets, hardness, biocompatibility, and golden color. The features of titanium coatings make it as suitable for many software regions along with scientific implants and units, aerospace components, cutting gear, wear components, military ships, and many others. So there is a necessity for studying the defects as early as feasible. In advance detection of defects presents a clean manner to attain defectfree coating surfaces. This may even help to keep away from the opportunity of future harm to the product. So a novel method for surface disorder detection technique is needed for assuring the first-class of lined surfaces. In industries visual inspection techniques are extra handy for reading surface defects, photo processing and analysis can be implemented for perceiving imperfections in covered surfaces. A survey of numerous metallic defect detection strategies primarily based on the visual inspection system is the discussion place in this paper.

In order to use Bayesian network for a complex world, this paper proposes a framework to simplify the network structure. The framework consists of "elimination", "segmentation" and "aggregation". To verify the framework, this paper discusses the prediction problem on consumer's preferences for the future products. The numerical experimentation shows how the framework could be applied and how it resolved the limitation of Bayesian network for the complex world.


In this paper, we first present some simple approaches to obtain dual and approximate dual g-frames. Then, we show that approximate dual g-frames are stable under some conditions. Finally, we give mainly a new characterization for approximate dual g-frames associated with given g-frames and bounded operators. Moreover, we prove that if two g-frames are close to each other, then we can find approximate dual g-frames associated with them which are close to each other.

In online education systems, the courseware plays a pivotal role in helping educators present and impart knowledge to students. The originality of courseware heavily impacts the choice of educators, because the teaching content evolves and so does courseware. However, how to measure the originality of a courseware is a challenging task, due to the lack of labels and the difficulty of quantification. To this end, we contribute a similarity ranking-based unsupervised approach to measure the originality of a courseware. In particular, we first exploit a pre-trained deep visual-text embedding to obtain the representations of images and texts in a local manner. Next, inspired by the design of capsule neural network, a vector-based pooling network is proposed to learn multimodal representations of images and texts. Finally, we propose a Discriminator to optimize the model by maximizing the mutual information between local features and global features in an unsupervised manner. To evaluate the performance of our proposed model, we further subtly collect a dataset for evaluating the originality of courseware by treating sequential versions of each courseware as ranking lists. Therefore, the learning-to-rank scheme can be utilized to evaluate the similarity-based ranking performance. Extensive experimental results have demonstrated the superiority of our proposed framework as compared to other state-of-the-art competitors.

Abstract CoCrNiCuX (X = Mn, MnFe, FeAl) high-entropy alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering. The relationship between microstructural and mechanical properties of CoCrNiCuX powders and bulks was investigated. The effects of the addition and substitution of elements on crystal structure transition, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties were assessed. The results indicated that, with the addition of Fe, the crystal structure of the alloys was transformed from fcc phase to a mix of fcc and bcc phases. By substituting Mn with Fe and Al, the formation of bcc phase was promoted, which caused precipitation hardening that significantly improved the hardness and compression strength of the investigated high-entropy alloys.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem today. The aim of this study was to explore the COPD patient's perception of their dietary habits and nutritional status. In addition, the study sought to identify their perceptions of dietary health and its impact on general quality of life. A qualitative methodology was used consisting of semistructured interviews. The study sampIe recruited twelve people with a diagnosis of COPD. Due to the unpredictability ofthe disease trajectory, those with arecent marked deterioration in health status were identifiedas suitable candidates for recruitment. Six participants had rec~ived dietary advlce and interventions from a dietician, and six weremanaged conservatively. Following the interviews, the audiotapes were full)' transcribed. Data analysis and reduction was then r.onducted based upon the framework approach and Attride-Sterling's notion of a thematic network. Five cat~gories arose from the data incIuding physical, nutritional, social, emotional /psychological, and spiritual needs. The physical dem~ds of the illness were often an overriding concern for the participant. Although some issue with nutrition and lack of informatioft"and su~port were identified as making an impact on th...e_ participants' lifestyle, this aspect was not generally seen as a priority. Patients with COPD often experience complex needs. This study highlights the importance of ~e impact of breathlessness on the patients' quality of life. It is suggested that furtber knowledge and information for both patients an; health care professionals about the importance. of nutrition in COPD should be made available.


Residual chlorine ex. concentration of free chlorine disinfection able to carry disinfection in drinking water is an important parameter of drinking water, primarily talking about its bacteriological safety. On the other hand, the presence of free chlorine is a prerequisite for the Trihalomethane's (THM) formation. From this point of view the water quality request for minimum chlorinated and safe potable water is understandable. In numerable modeling and experimental research the spatial diversity of chlorine residual was found to correlate with the daily consumption schedule, the water temperature, the initial dose of chlorine and organic matter content in the water. This paper presents some of the possibilities in predicting the content of residual chlorine and THM in water distribution networks. Special attention is paid to the spatial variability of residual chlorine and THM's to a change in the initial concentration of chlorine. Results are presented using existing water supplying network of the settlement Petrovac na Mlavi using EPANET simulation software.

Purpose: Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) glaucoma is the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma worldwide comprising the majority of glaucoma in some countries. The underlying disorder, PEX syndrome, is a generalized process of the extracellular matrix characterized by the production and progressive accumulation of a fibrillar extracellular material in intra- and extracellular tissues. New insights into its molecular pathophysiology have increased the understanding of this disorder and the current concepts of pathogenetic mechanisms of PEX syndrome/glaucoma will be presented in this review.

Methods: Basic science, clinical-pathologic correlations, and review of the literature.

Results: Recent molecular biologic data support the pathogenetic concept of PEX syndrome as a type of stress-induced elastosis, an elastic microfibrillopathy, with TGF-s1, increased oxidative stress, a dysbalance of proteolytic enzymes and their inhibitors, an impaired proteasome system, and low grade inflammatory processes being key factors in pathogenesis. Active involvement of trabecular meshwork cells in local production of PEX material in the juxtacanalicular area may be the primary cause of outflow resistance and chronic pressure elevation in PEX patients. Additional pathogenetic factors include marked pigment dispersion, increased aqueous humor protein concentrations, and pressure-independent risk factors including an impaired ocular and retrobulbar perfusion.

Conclusions: PEX syndrome may not only cause severe open-angle glaucoma but also a spectrum of other complications and imply an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. A thorough awareness of its pathologic features and its effects on ocular tissues is critical for an early recognition and accurate diagnosis.


Given a large amount of unannotated speech in a low-resource language, can we classify the speech utterances by topicƒ We consider this question in the setting where a small amount of speech in the low-resource language is paired with text translations in a high-resource language. We develop an effective cross-lingual topic classifier by training on just 20 hours of translated speech, using a recent model for direct speech-to-text translation. While the translations are poor, they are still good enough to correctly classify the topic of 1-minute speech segments over 70% of the time—a 20% improvement over a majority-class baseline. Such a system could be useful for humanitarian applications like crisis response, where incoming speech in a foreign low-resource language must be quickly assessed for further action.


The world of human resources work is characterised by innovative and fast changing of technology wave rapidly. Driving the talent management has recently been the target of increasing interest and is a method by which organisations can meet the demands that are associated with increased complexity. Previous studies have often focused on the management of talent, but the issue of what exactly should be managed has generally been neglected. In this paper, the authors focus on discussing the substance of talent and the problems associated with identifying talent by using the following closely related concepts: employability, knowledge, and competence. The topic of talent management has increased in importance and has gained attention in both the literature and in business practices. The importance of talent management has increased in terms of the impact it brings to the success of an organization. For this reason, organizations prioritize this mechanism which included attracting, retaining and developing talents. It is of high significance as it gives organizations the opportunity to draw and retain necessary talent effectively. Furthermore, talent identification and development help organizations in identifying employees that later been develop as a leader of the future that represent the combination of cyber-physical system due to the diversification of fourth Industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 . These new technologies will impact all cross disciplines and even challenge the function of human resource such as training, staffing, performance appraisal, compensation and job design. The challenger of Industry 4.0 whereby most companies require to design the HR practices through the goal to encourage innovativeness and learning in the organization. To face those challenges successfully, the conceptual framework and future strategy management becomes vital. This paper aims to present the conceptual model and to be tested scientifically.

Phengite series is a dioctahedral solid solution between two end-members of muscovite [K1[Al2]VI[Al1,Si3]IVO10(OH)2] and celadonite [K1[(Fe3+,Al)1,(Mg,Fe2+)1]VI[Si4]IVO10(OH)2], which have a hetero-valent substitution of AlVIAlIV ↔ (Mg, Fe)VISiIV. In this study, we report a hydrothermal-originated authigenic Mg-phengite-series mineral, which occurred as polycrystalline aggregates (Type 1), pore-fillings (Type 2) and well-crystallized lath form (Type 3) from the Haengmae Formation, a dolomite–pebble-bearing fine sand-sized dolostone, in South Korea. Based on micro-textural observation, three types of Mg-phengite are associated with crystalline dolomite, and are followed by calcite precipitation as pore-filling, indicating that these should be formed by the influx of a Mg-rich hydrothermal fluid after the deposition of some clastic sediments and before calcite-filling. The structural formula based on O10(OH)2 shows that the number of Mg atoms per formula unit (apfu) of Mg-phengite ranges from 0.00 to 0.70 with no Fe, which is relatively high, compared with the previously reported metamorphic phengites. In REEs mineral chemistry, the Mg-phengites are characterized by the enrichment of REEs and by the particular enrichment of LREEs in the polycrystalline aggregates of Mg-phengite. It strongly suggests that the Mg-phengite should be formed by the infiltration of the highly evolved Mg- and REEs-enriched hydrothermal fluid into the clastic sedimentary rock (Haengmae Formation) as a strata-bound form, syngenetically or during early diagenesis.


Smog injury to crops in the south coastal area of California caused annual losses that exceeded $500,000. The kinds and varieties of crops damaged have increased and the areas affected have expanded. The air pollutants that caused the smog damage were first identified in 1951. They were olefinic peroxides which were formed when ozone and the olefin vapors were present in the air simultaneously. This paper discusses controlled fumigation experiments which were used to determine conditions of growth that affected the severity of the damage caused by these olefinic peroxides.


An alternative to the use of rain gauges as sources of precipitation data is provided by laser disdrometers, which inter alia allow for high-temporal-resolution measurement of the reflectivity (Z) and intensity (R) of precipitation. In the study detailed here, an OTT Parsivel1 laser disdrometer located at the Meteorological Station of Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) generated the 95,459 Z-R data pairs recorded across 1-min time intervals that were subject to further study. Included values for the reflectivity and instantaneous intensity of precipitation were found to be in the respective ranges of -9.998‑67.898 dBZ and 0.004‑153.519 mm h−1 (given that values for precipitation intensity below 0.004 mm h−1 were excluded from further consideration). The material obtained covered the months from April to October in the years 2012‑2014 and 2019‑2020 (30 months in total), which were selected for the study due to the completeness of data. The measured reflectivity and intensity data for precipitation were used to establish the relationship pertaining between the two (by reference to descriptive parameters a and b), with such results considered to contribute to the improved calibration of meteorological radars, and hence to more-accurate radar-based estimates of amounts of precipitation. The Z-R relationship as determined for all measurement data offered a first step in the research process, whose core objective was nevertheless to determine separate Z-R relationships for datasets on rain, rain with snow (sleet), and snow (given that precipitation in the form of hail did not occur during the surveyed measurement periods). That said, it is important to note that only a few Polish studies have in any way involved disdrometer-based measurement of precipitation reflectivity and intensity, as well as the relationships between these aspects. In the event, the Z-R relationships obtained for the measurement sets were characterised by high values for coefficients of correlation (in the range 0.96‑0.97) and determination, as well as low values for the root mean-square error (ranging from 0.29 to 0.34). Statistics point to a good fit of the Z-R relationships (regression lines) to the specified datasets. Values noted for parameter a (the multiplier in the power-type Z-R relationship) were seen to differ significantly in relation to rain, rain with snow, and snow, being of 285.56, 76.07 and 914.74 respectively. In contrast, values noted for parameter b (the exponent) varied only across the narrow range of 1.47‑1.62. The obtained research results for parameter a indicate the need to consider Z-R relationships matched to specific types of precipitation in the data processing procedure of radar data. This could increase the accuracy of estimating precipitation amounts using radars belonging to the nationwide POLRAD system. The relationships Z = 285.56R1.47 for rainfall (as the dataset's dominant type of precipitation), as well as Z = 293.76R1.46 for all data, proved highly similar to the classic relationship obtained for convective rainfall by Hunter (1996), as given by Z = 300R1.4. On the other hand, the values of the a parameter in the Z-R relationships fond for the two datasets proved to be much larger than those in the model developed by Marshall and Palmer (1948), which took the form Z = 200R1,6 and has been the relationship used in Poland as radar images are created.


At present, attention to the power quality in electrical networks has increased significantly. This is connected with increasing in the quantity and power of the electrical receivers with non-linear volt-ampere characteristics. If earlier traditional lamps were used for outdoor lighting of cities, now the quantity of energy-saving lamps, which are sources of higher harmonic of current components, has increased. As it is known, deterioration of Power Quality negative consequences the elements of electrical networks. Therefore, the authors carried out instrumental measurements have been implemented on the electrical networks of the outdoor lighting in the Dushanbe city to analyze and identify the causes of power quality deterioration. This article provides results of the instrumental assessment of the power quality are also presented and explains the possible causes and consequences of the registered violations to define and mitigate power quality disturbances.


.. Post partum hemorrhage (PPH) is defined as the loss of greater than 500ml of blood from the genital tract in the first 24 hours following delivery. PPH occurs in 2-11% of all deliveries. Objective: To compare the efficacy of misoprostol and ergometrine for the prophylaxis of Post Partum Haemorrhage. Design: Prospective study. Setting: Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department Military Hospital Rawalpindi. Period: From 01 July 2006 to 31 Dec 2006. Patients & Methods: A total of 200 patients were recruited in the study, they were divided in two groups, group – I (n100) included those patients who were administered ergometrine intravenously at the time of delivery of head for the prophylaxis of post partum haemorrhage, Group – 2 (n-100) included those patients who were administered Misoprostol 800 microgram per rectally just before the start of cesarean section for the same purpose. Blood loss was calculated objectively by squeezing the soaked pads and quantifying the amount of clots in a kidney tray of standard size to be equal to 500ml.Results: In group I (n-100) 15 patients had mild PPH blood loss >500ml, out of them 03 had severe PPH requiring bimanual message and 02 patients required blood transfusion, in group II( n-100). 08 patients had PPH, blood loss >500 ml, out of them 01 patient required uterine message and none required blood transfusion. Chi-square test was applied to compare the efficacy of the two groups, P>0.05 showed no significant difference in the efficacy of the two groups but the side effects were obviously less in the Misoprostol group. No patient in group II had GI symptoms while 36 patient in group I had retching and, vomiting and 03 patients had raised B.P after the administration of ergometrine. Conclusion: Misoprostol administered per rectally has equal efficacy to ergometrine given intravenously for the prophylaxis of post partum haemorrhage but the side effect profile and patient tolerability is better with Misoprostol.


A few weeks ago I had occasion to ask a patient to sit in my office for some time, for the purpose of testing the efficacy of glasses at the reading distance before I finally prescribed them. On measuring the pupillary distance, however, I was annoyed to discover that I had nothing at all suitable to her case, for the greatest distance I dared allow was 55 mm., while the smallest frame I had was not under 60 mm., and as it was a decentration I wished to avoid, I was obliged to postpone the trial till another day. Meanwhile, I investigated frames, but could find nothing in a small, light presbyopic frame that was adjustable, and I am sure that it is not at present to be found. After explaining my idea, I finally had Mr. Allen (Edward Allen & Co., 80 Dearborn Street, Chicago) make the frame, of


Bulgaria adopts the principles of good governance along with its EU membership. That occurred with harmonization of public policies. The study makes a review on the application of the following principles of good governance: sustainability and long-term orientation in development, effectiveness and efficiency, accountability and transparency and the adoption of these principles at local level. The general evaluation: Bulgaria follows and applies in great extent the principles of good governance, but in the reality, there are numerous deviations, delays and negligence, which lead to their partial implementation. The country needs more political commitment, regulatory changes and institutional efforts to reach better levels of good governance.


We present the first assessment of the diet of the blackchin guitarfish Glaucostegus cemiculus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817) for West Africa, using DNA metabarcoding on stomach contents of individuals captured in the Bijagós archipelago, Guinea-Bissau. The diet was dominated by crustaceans, particularly caramote prawn Penaeus kerathurus (frequency of occurrence FO=74%; numerical frequency NF=54%) and fiddler crab Afruca tangeri (FO=74%; NF=12%). Bony fishes occurred in 30% of the stomachs. We highlight the importance of conservation action for intertidal habitats and their associated benthic invertebrates for the survival of the critically endangered blackchin guitarfish.

In this work the theoretical analysis of features of transformation of spatial structure of mean intensity of the partially coherent Bessel optical beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere is developed. With use of cognitive graphs of mean intensity of optical radiation, it is visually shown that the stability of the form of a partially coherent vortex Bessel optical beam during propagation in turbulent atmosphere increases with growth of value of a topological charge of this optical beam.


The relaxor response of the PbxBi4Ti31xO1213x (x52,3) Aurivillius ceramics is reported. The relaxor behavior appears with an increase of the symmetry in the ab plane of the structure and a decrease of the transition temperature. By the application of a bias field on nonpoled samples, it is possible to induce the piezoelectric response. The piezoelectric coefficient in the planar mode of 272 pC/N was measured at 210 °C for Pb 2 Bi 4 Ti 5 O 18 ceramic disks. These results represent a step in the search of high-temperature piezoelectric ceramics. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1529088#


The frequency dependence of conductance noise through a gate-defined quantum point contact fabricated on a Si/SiGe modulation doped wafer is characterized. The 1/f2 noise, which is characteristic of random telegraph noise, is reduced by application of a negative bias on the global top gate to reduce the local gate voltage. Direct leakage from the large global gate voltage also causes random telegraph noise, and therefore, there is a suitable point to operate quantum dot measurement.

The article outlines the socio-economic development of Ukraine in the current crisis conditions, which have negatively affected the activities of domestic enterprises. The issue of formation of the mechanism of strategic innovative development of entrepreneurship is investigated. Ґ
The integration and internationalization processes of economic and political life, which are aimed at solving scientific and technical problems and are necessary in the process of strategic innovative development of enterprises, are analyzed. It is studied that the improvement of international communications, economic and political changes in countries, global implementation and dissemination of innovations leads to the need to form new mechanisms for business development. International competition necessitates the constant development of entrepreneurship in order to gain competitive advantage. Innovative development at the regional level covers the latest strategies, mechanisms, priorities, structures and directions that would ensure the creation of an innovative type of reproduction of national production.
It is noted that the goal of strategic innovative development of entrepreneurship is to concentrate resources in areas that help accelerate scientific and technological progress in the process. Innovative development demonstrates not only the level of application of innovations in entrepreneurship, but also collaboration with other areas of the economy in the national economy.
The modern mechanism of innovative development of entrepreneurship and the solid basis for its functioning - the legislative field of regulation of entrepreneurship in Ukraine are studied. The legal framework is characterized by significant contradictions between regulations and laws. This often complicates and hinders the effective conduct of business and their innovative development. Legislation does not regulate the support of innovative activity of domestic entrepreneurship both at the state level and in the conditions of a separate region.
It is noted that the functioning of the mechanism of strategic innovative development of entrepreneurship today should be considered as a promising factor in Ukraine's exit from the economic crisis and improving socio-economic stability in society.
It is established that in order to increase the efficiency of the mechanism of innovation activity of domestic enterprises it is necessary to constantly analyze their activity with the help of indicators that characterize the integrated indicator of the realized part of the innovation potential.
It is determined that when calculating the implemented part of the mechanism of innovation potential, it is advisable to use one of the most convenient ways to build an integrated indicator, which is a generalized function of the desirability of E. Harrington.
It was found that the main factor in the strategic innovative development of entrepreneurship in Ukraine is the creation of a mechanism to support it. It, in turn, will ensure the application in practice of innovative achievements in the field that can be useful for businesses; will stimulate the use of innovative equipment and technologies; will create objects of intellectual property; will motivate the investment of own funds in the latest technologies.

Purpose – This paper seeks to apply the relational exchange framework, updated by insights on interimistic relationships, to analyze governance implications for the three types of e‐marketplaces currently in operation: independent exchanges, consortia, and private exchanges. These three archetypes are analyzed from a functional perspective and, more importantly, from a relationship governance perspective.Design/methodology/approach – The paper is conceptual in approach.Findings – The three e‐marketplace archetypes currently in existence correspond to different levels of operational integration and, in turn, to three different types of inter‐firm relationships. Moreover, the three types of relational structures proposed offer different solutions for governance processes such as partner qualification, monitoring, and enforcement.Research limitations/implications – The network of relationships between firms is changing all the time as a result of dynamic industry conditions. The relational continuum proposed...
