Measurement of the ventricular diameter 15 was taken at the level of the atria, measured according to Australian society for 16 ultrasound in medicine guidelines. 17 The result shows that the mean lateral ventricular diameter of fetuses in the 18 studied region is 6.62 ± 2.51mm with a range of 4.12-9.54mm.The lateral 19 ventricular diameter and the fetal head circumferences, as well as the gestational 20 age, do not show any significant correlation throughout gestation. 21 22 Conclusion: Fetuses in Calabar Metropolis have a lateral ventricular diameter 23 that ranges from 4.12 9.54mm. Ventricular diameter above this normal range 24 in this region and could be considered as an abnormal and may demand further 25 investigations. 26


Environmental problems are currently inevitable. The problems are amplified by low level of public awareness about environment and the ever-increasing level of environmental damage done by irresponsible people. Education plays an important role in changing people's paradigms about the environment. People need to be made aware of the importance of their environment. In this regard, madrasa can be an ideal means to raise public awareness of the importance of environmental preservation and management. This research was carried out using a descriptive naturalistic method. Data were collected by means of interview, questionnaire, and observations. The research found that there were many ways implemented in madrasa to instill environmental awareness so as to realize the environmentally-sound madrasa.

The present study aims at to use Peer-Tutoring as a technique for the promotion of the spellings in the language other than the mother tongue. Further Peer-Tutoring method has several practical advantages. It reduces the disruptive behaviour of the normal students and increases the attentive behaviour, consequently the academic performance of students increases appreciably. The results of the present study reveal that Peer-Tutoring is more effective in the accuracy of spelling performance than the individual study.


The objective of this work was to evaluate the polluting potential from the remainings of effluents from biodigesters that operate with swine manure with the separation of the solid fraction and without the separation of the solid fraction, both under different hydraulic retention times (HRT). For the biodigestion trial, the effluents from semi-continuous biodigesters were processed with 15; 22; 29 and 36 days of hydraulic retention, with and without the separation of the solid fraction. In this part of the work batch biodigesters were used, which were kept in the operation as long as biogas was produced (60 days). It was evaluated: biogas production and quality and yield potential, the potential production per kg of total solids and volatile solids and chemical and biochemical demands for oxygen. Production potential found with separation of the solid fraction was 385 liter of CH4kg-1 of VS added and the effluent without the separation of the solid fraction was 117 liter of CH4kg-1 of VS added, for the shorter HRT (15 days) and production potentials of 74 and 18 liters of CH4kg-1 of VS added to the substrates with swine manure with the separation of the solid fraction and without the separation of the solid fraction respectively for the longer HRT (36 days).


The crucial problem of the integration of different platforms is how to adjust the distinct computing features between them with the capability of assigning an appropriate platform to best execute the inquire command. In business intelligence (BI), this paper introduced the integration of RHhadoop and SparkR platforms for the highperformance multiple big data processing platforms to carry out rapid data retrieval and data analysis with R programming. The goal of this paper is to design the optimization for job scheduling as well as to implement the optimized platform selection for highly improving the response time of data analysis. Alternatively, we proposed the very simple and straightforward manner for user to give R commands input instead of Java programming or Scala programming to realize the data retrieval or data analysis in the platforms. As a result, although the optimized platform selection can reduce the execution time for the data retrieval and data analysis significantly, furthermore scheduling optimization definitely increases the system efficiency a lot.

Summary form only given. The rebuilt COBRA pulsed power generator, which provides a variable current pulse (e.g., 100-150 ns rise-times; 0.6-1 MA peak current), has extended the range of parameters that can be used to study X pinches at Cornell University. X pinches constructed with two to twelve wires of materials that range from aluminum to tungsten, including alloys such as Invar, have been tested. Selected wire diameters typically ranged from 12.5 to 75 mum. In all cases, attempts were made to minimize the axial length over which the wires touched at the cross point. The influence of various pulse shapes on the formation of X-pinch plasma, as well as on the general dynamics of the pinch implosion process, has been studied using a set of diagnostics with either spatial or temporal resolution. A set of XUV, soft X-ray, and hard X-ray sensitive photodiodes, such as XRD, PCD, and AXUV-HS, were used with various filters to study the X-pinch radiation over a wide energy range that spanned from XUV up to 50 keV X-rays. There were two general setups employed to study the dynamics of X pinches on COBRA. The first consisted of two X pinches placed in the electron return current circuit, along with a cylindrical wire array serving as the primary load. This setup enabled the study of two X pinches, as well as provided X-ray backlighting for wire array imaging. The X pinches replaced two of the four standard return current posts that connect to the anode hardware. Currents going through the two X pinches, and through the remaining two return current posts were all measured separately. The other general setup studied was that of a standard X pinch load on COBRA. For both setups, a spherically bent, mica crystal spectrograph was used in addition to a flat KAP crystal spectrograph to monitor the soft X-ray self-emission of the X pinches, the results of which are presented herein. Over the course of these experiments, observed current pulses were grouped into two categories, characterized by two peaks separated in time by approximately 50-75 ns. When the first peak was the larger of the two, the X pinch generated a smaller, hotter plasma than when the second peak was the larger. The influence of the two current shapes on the micro-pinch plasma parameters and on the soft X-ray energy yield is discussed in detail


Current timber inventory projections generally lack information on inventory by product classes. Most models available for inventory projection and linked to supply analyses are limited to projecting aggregate softwood and hardwood. The research presented describes a methodology for distributing the volume on each FIA (USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis) survey plot to product classes given a type characterization, volume, and average dbh (diameter at breast height, 1.37 m above average ground level) for the plot. A multinomial logit model was developed to estimate sets of product proportion functions to distribute plot volumes by product class for each forest type and size class. A discussion of the performance of the model using Alabama and Mississippi FIA plot


Resilient minimal‐damage steel frames, such as post‐tensioned self‐centering steel frames or steel frames with passive dampers, have been extensively studied but little attention has been paid to their column bases. This paper presents a rocking damage‐free steel column base using post‐tensioned high strength steel bars to control rocking behavior and friction devices that provide stable energy dissipation capacity. Contrary to conventional steel column bases, the monotonic and cyclic hysteretic moment‐rotation behavior of the proposed column base can be easily described using simple analytical equations. The paper describes in detail a step‐by‐step design procedure for the column base that ensures damage‐free behavior and adequate self‐centering and energy dissipation capacity. A finite element model for the column base is developed in OpenSees and used to conduct nonlinear dynamic (seismic) analyses of a building using self‐centering steel moment‐resisting frames. The results of the analyses show that the column base helps the building to avoid damage in the 1st story columns along with eliminating the 1st story residual drifts under both the design and maximum considered earthquake intensities.


A diaphragm vacuum gauge covering the pressure range 1 to 100 μ with an accuracy of better than 0.5 μ is described. Movement of the diaphragm is followed by measurement of capacity change. The electronic circuit involves only a single valve. The gauge is suitable for measurement of mass-spectrometer sample inlet pressures.


In order to analyze the reason why firing failure of the free loading mixed grain under low temperature environment occurs usually,structural integrity of mixed grain was calculated by using 3D thermoviscoelastic large deformation increment constitutive equation based on Updated Lagrangian method.At the same time,in order to analyze transient temperature field and thermal stress and strain distribution,a step-by-step finite element model based on time-temperature equivalent principle and thermorheologic simple material assumption was used to obtain dangerous location,and structural integrity of mixed grain under different storage temperatures was compared.The results show that structural irrationality of mixed grain is the main reason for structural integrity failure under low temperature environment.


Negative pledge covenants have traditionally been treated as mere contract rights, but when supported by the right legal apparatus they can also be treated as property interests that are effective against third parties. UCC Article 9 provides a logical and intriguing means of conferring this property-like status: negative pledgees could perfect their covenants using the same mechanisms that secured parties use to perfect security interests. As a result, if a third party took security in violation of a perfected negative pledge covenant, that security would be subordinated to the rights of the negative pledgee. To prevent the perfected covenants from too strongly resembling security interests (thereby unnecessarily distorting the parties' bargain), negative pledgees would remain vulnerable, as under current law, to other unsecured creditors who execute earlier on a judgment. Using Article 9 to protect creditors that, under current law, one thinks of as unsecured may seem to invert the statute's purpose, but would actually further many of its most important animating precepts. It would also elegantly achieve much of what courts have been groping toward with over a century of unsatisfactory case-law. Insights from cognitive linguistics help to establish that perfected negative pledgees would indeed have property interests, making them natural candidates for Article 9's protections. Debtors would, for the first time, have a fully credible means of assuring an existing creditor that, if security were issued, the existing creditor would not thereby be harmed. Thus, debtors who were settled in their plans not to issue security would be freed from the burden of compensating creditors for an unnecessary risk. Viewed from another perspective, any debtor concluding that security, with the risk that it presents to creditors, was not a desirable tool for that debtor could, in effect, "opt out" of the regime that imposes the risk, simply by allowing its unsecured creditors to perfect negative pledge covenants against it. Much of Article 9 would thus be converted from a mandatory rule to a default rule. The longstanding debate over the merits of secured credit is thus recast, at least in part, as a matter for individual choice, rather than as the aggregate social question that prior scholars have assumed it must be.

Fuzzy context-free grammar is one important kind of grammars.The criterion theorem of fuzzy context grammars is discussed which helps lay a foundation for further research into fuzzy context-free grammars and fuzzy pushdown automata.


This paper applies recent theories of testing for parameter constancy to the conditional variance in a GARCH model. The supremum Lagrange multiplier test for conditional Gaussian GARCH models and its robustified variants are discussed. The asymptotic null distribution of the test statistics are derived from the weak convergence of the scores, and the critical values from the hitting probability of squared Bessel process. Monte Carlo studies on the finite sample size and power performance of the supremum LM tests are conducted. Applications of these tests to S&P 500 indicate that the hypothesis of stable conditional variance parameters can be rejected.


Kafka's short story In the Penal Colony depicts the visit of a European traveller to a cruel penal colony. The author uses the story to explore current issues concerning torture. Her particular focus is on the interrelation between torture and empire, and on the limits of humanitarian reform. Kafka is instructive in puncturing the pretensions of humanitarianism, and in pointing up the inescapable uncertainties, absurdities, and complicities associated with it.


This article discusses disputes over public educational resources, considering the (re)updates of neoliberal policies in the national scenario. In particular, we deal with the recent procedure and regulation of (New) Fundeb, seeking to highlight the privatist offensives on the fund's resources. From the theoretical-methodological perspective of the case study, we highlight the disputed policies and interests in the field of financing the education of children aged 0 to 3 years, in Sao Goncalo, a city located in the metropolitan region of the city of Rio de Janeiro, showing the attendance at the daycare. The investigated scenario reveals the evidence of privatism as a predominant educational characteristic, in addition to insufficient compliance with the right to day care by the municipal government.


Liberation theology,as an ideology of Christian socialism,produced significant impact on the transition of Church in Asia and Africa since it was born in Latin America in 1960s.On one hand,Liberation theology stimulated greatly Roman Church social concerns,especially for misery of the poor and deteriorating situation in developing countries;on the other hand,liberation theology unavoidably confronted new challenges from socio-cultural environment in Asian and African context.Under the circumstances,the Philippines church theologian actively made response to the influence of liberation theology and furthered the development of Liberation theology in the Philippine context both in theory and practice,which produced tremendous impact on socio-political movement in the contemporary Philippines.


Non Destructive Testing techniques are more and more exploited in order to quickly and cheaply recognize ∞aws into the inspected materials. Within this framework, modelling is a powerful tool for inspection improvements. It helps probe-coil designers to optimize sensors for each examination requirement, providing better understanding of the involved physics, supporting operator training and increasing defect analysis reliability. The efiect of the ferrite core is analyzed in order to optimize the design of probe-coils and study various conflgurations of inspection. Particularly, Finite Element based analyzes will be carried out into this path. Direct problem will be assessed, and direct model will be formulated, dependent by difierent parameters, e.g., coil shape, working frequencies and so forth. The model will be subsequently validated by in-lab experimentations. 1. INTRODUCTION Non Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT/E) of metallic materials ofiers an exciting and interesting challenge to both researchers and applied technologists. For this kind of materials, the major problem of interest is the detection, location, orienting and sizing of single cracks, nondestructive evaluation of homogenous materials is presently in a state of detecting a variety of damage modes. In plane words, the present state of knowledge concerning what damage mode in metallic materials is responsible for the flnal failure process is still unclear. Hence, it is still not possible to suggest to NDT/E personnel exactly what type of damage, size, orientation, etc. needs to be found in an inspection process. Hence, the challenge. The excitement for researchers in the area of NDT/E of metallic plates is in the fact that NDT/E is presently playing an important role in helping to identify damage mechanisms in homogenous materials and to characterize the role played by these damage mechanisms in the flnal failure process. A variety of NDT/E techniques has been applied extensively to the investigation and characterization of metallic materials. Generally, one flnds that a combination of complementary NDT/E techniques are appropriate, and often required, to obtain as complete information as possible on the damage state of the specimen. Eddy-current (EC) methods are commonly applied because of their relative ease of their use, and the relative amount of information that can be obtained from them. As far as metals are concerned, the EC techniques has been used for quite some time for varied applications such as the detection of cracks, porosities and inclusions; metal sorting, evaluation of plate or tubing thickness, measurement of coating thickness and the thickness of non-conducting fllms on metallic bases and so forth 1 When a coil carrying alternating current is brought near an electrically conducting material, eddy-currents are induced in the materials by electromagnetic induction. The magnitude of the induced eddy currents depends upon the magnitude and frequency of alternating current; the distance between the current-carrying coil and the material under test; the presence of defects or inhomogeneities in the material and the physical properties of the material. The induced eddy-currents modulate the impedance of the exciting coil or any secondary coil situated in the vicinity of the test material. The difierence between the original coil impedance and the modulated coil impedance (due to the presence of eddy currents) is monitored to obtain meaningful information regarding the presence of defects or changes in physical, chemical or microstructural properties. Typical testing conflgurations may consist of ferrite core coil probes, placed above a planar (or at least locally planar) conductive specimen and operating in the time-harmonic domain, at frequency depending on the problem (typically between a few (Hz) to a few (MHz)) (2). The aim of ferrite core is to focus the magnetic flelds into the specimen, in order to increase the probe sensitivity to the defect. For each application, the coil model as well as the operating frequencies are set according to the task. This work proposes an integrated approach starting from the design and implementation of a novel probe in order to optimize the sensor efiect and the drop-in suppression, the operating parameters of the frequency


Labor is the only source of value. Exploitation cannot be denied just because the capitalism is reasonable in a specific historical period. Possessive rights for factors of production determine value distribution. It is a recogniz ing retrogression of the labor value theory to deny, according to value distribu tion, that the labor is the value distribution.


The vapor pressure of melamine was measured in the temperature range of 144–341°C. by the dynamic method, ultraviolet spectrophotometry being used to determine the amounts transferred at the lower vapor pressures. Nitrogen and ammonia were used as carrier gases. The vapor pressures are given by the expression log P = 12.52 − (6440/T). The average heat of sublimation was found to be 29 ± 1 kcal./mole.


For any tree with k maximum degree vertices,subdivision and homeomorphism is used to derive the following results:Any tree with k maximum degree vertices has at least max{ k (△-2),0}+2 leaves;if a tree has k maximum degree vertices (△≥3)and k (△-2)+2 leaves,then its degree sequence is homeomorphsically ( △,△,…,△ k, 1,1,…,1 k(△-2)+2),that is,the degree sequence is homeomorphsically unique for any tree with k maximum degree verices and k (△-2)+2 leaves.


We propose a new method for dynamic nuclear polarisation in a quasi–one-dimensional quantum wire utilising the spin-orbit interaction, the hyperfine interaction, and a finite source-drain potential difference. In contrast with current methods, our scheme does not rely on external magnetic or optical sources which makes independent control of closely placed devices much more feasible. Using this method, a significant polarisation of a few per cent is possible in currently available InAs wires which may be detected by conductance measurements. This may prove useful for nuclear-magnetic-resonance studies in nanoscale systems as well as in spin-based devices where external magnetic and optical sources will not be suitable.


The indicativity of a type of catalog information (or catalog field) is intended as a measure of how well the information in the field conveys the contents of the document it represents. In the experiments reported here, indicativity is measured for several catalog fields by comparing users' evaluations of the relevance of documents on the basis of the information in a given field with their judgments on the basis of full text. A small but statistically significant increase in indicativity is found as the length of a catalog field (as measured by the number of different content‐word stems) is increased. The title field is found to have an indicativity of 0.64; matching subjects, 0.67; subjects, 0.70; abstract, 0.73. Despite the relatively small gain in indicativity for the longer fields, users value the longer fields highly for determining relevance if one judges by the amount of time they spend on them. Support for the hypothesis that the indicativity measure does not fully reflect the value of the fields is developed. Thus, the question of the cost effectiveness of the longer fields is unresolved. Other aspects of catalog field utility studied under the Project Intrex equipments are also reported.


Deconvolution methods are applied to underwater propagation, and the received signal is modeled as the convolution between the wavelet and the medium impulse response. The aim of the method is to extract information on backscattering, travel time delays, boundary reflection and refraction from the received signal on a point receiver on an array. Since experimental data are generally mixed-phase, due in part to the multiple reflections (bottom and surface), conventional linear filtering, which assumes the minimum-phase property, loses in efficacy. To handle the mixed-phase characteristic of the data, the author first applies a homomorphic filter to separate the signal into its minimum and maximum phase components and to deconvolve the wavelet. He then estimates the medium impulse response by means of a Wiener filter. The efficacy of the method is shown on both simulated and real data.<<ETX>>


Abstract : The stiffness of bonded rubber blocks under small compressive deformations has been studied extensively. A recent review deals with the problem in connection with the use of elastomeric laminaes as bridge bearings. However, previous studies have been mainly concerned with a flat rubber block bonded between two flat rigid plates. An approximate treatment is given here for the stiffness of a rubber layer bonded between two opposed curved rigid surfaces, cylindrical or spherical in shape. The predictions of the theoretical treatment are then compared with measured values of compressive stiffness for various initial separations (and hence rubber layer thicknesses) of the two rigid surfaces, relative to their diameter. Keywords: Bonded layers; Compression; Cylinders; Deformation; Elastic; Pressure; Rubber; Spheres; Stiffness; and Stress Analysis.

Dynamic mechanical measurements were carried out in composites made of quartz powder-filled epoxy resin at frequencies between 7 and 600 Hz and temperatures between 290 and 460 K. Using the William-Landel-Ferry relationship, master curves of the dynamic moduli were obtained as a function of the frequency and the related coefficients, c 0 1 and c 0 2 , were evaluated. The activation energy of the a relaxation was calculated and the influence of the filler content on the free volume was determined. The average free volumes were also measured in the composites by means of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Considering the constituent phases and the conditions of cure, the internal residual stresses in the matrix were evaluated and their influence on the free volume is discussed. Both DMA and PALS show similar results of the dependence of free volume with the filler content in the composite.


We present an application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in street view images recognition to help users correct positioning errors and find the right direction under GPS positioning. We create a CNN model for each GPS coordinate point, and the datasets for each model are street view images of eight directions of each point and image samples of the surrounding neighboring and other points. The output labels of each model are eight directions and others. Therefore, we could use a CNN model to rough identify whether an image belongs to the assigned coordinate point and to know which possible direction it is facing. In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of matching possible points, we propose a spiral search neighbors approach. Finally, we use speeded up robust features (SURF) for more precise positioning.

Recent works in the econometric literature consider the problem of efficiently summarising a large set of variables and using this summary for a variety of purposes, including forecasts (Stock and Watson, 2002; Forni et al., 2005; Giannone et al., 2008; for a wide review, see Eklund and Kapetanios, 2008). Factor analysis combined with linear modelling has usually been the main tool used for this task. This paper presents a new statistical approach to forecasting macro-economic aggregates, based on the Random Forests technique, originally developed as a learning classification tool (Breiman, 2001). This technique can handle a very large number of input variables without overfitting and is known to enjoy good prediction properties and to be robust to noise. While the Random Forests algorithm is usually applied in medical research and biological studies, it is largely unknown in economics. This paper investigates the potential of applying this promising technique to modelling and forecasting macro-economic aggregates using large datasets of survey variables, in the same vein as Biau et al. (2007). A specific application for short-term GDP forecasting in the euro area is shown using the harmonised European Union Business and Consumer Survey dataset. The Random Forests technique is explored with two aims in mind: the first is to obtain (through a Monte Carlo exercise) a preliminary non-parametric forecast of GDP growth, and the second is to analyse a number of candidate explanatory variables to distinguish between those which significantly contribute to explaining and predicting the analysed phenomenon and those which mostly add random noise. Indeed, the variable importance index based on Random Forests has the advantage of selecting relevant variables independently of any functional and distributional assumptions, which makes it a robust candidate tool for the selection of variables. A linear model is then built using the selected variables as input. The forecast performance of this survey-based model is assessed with an out-of-sample exercise (using vintage data): the results are compared both with the outputs from an autoregressive (AR) model (taken as benchmark) and with the quarterly projections of the euro zone * Olivier Biau, seconded national expert from the INSEE France, and Angela D'Elia are economic analysts in the Directorate for Policy strategy and Co-ordination in the Directorate-General of Economic and Financial Affairs, Brussels.

Evidence is found that a well-performing and parsimonious survey-based model can be specified to forecast GDP quarter-on-quarter growth in the euro area, and that Random Forests is therefore an effective tool for selecting the most relevant predictive variables.


Basically, the economic problems which are confronting the private Negro colleges are not at all different from those affecting all private colleaes, or for that matter, all educational institutions. It is simply a matter of finding more money to meet the increased costs of doing a creditable job of training young men and women. It is in the ease or difficulty of finding ways and means of securing adequate financing that the difference lay. This differentiates the private Negro college from its counterpart generally and sets the Negro private college off from the Negro state supported institution. The private Negro colleges have the most difficult task of all. They trade in the same market places for goods and services as do other educational institutions and businesses; but they face problems as to resources-some in common with educational institutions generally-and some special. 1. The cost of goods and services have increased precipitously within the past eight years. An estimate of this increase would be about 65 per cent. 2. The financial requirements for accreditation have properly been moved upward. 3. The clientele served by these colleges is concentrated pri-

(317) The Fifth Disease. L. CHEINISSE (&m. Mid., No. i8, 1905) describes in detail the results of his experience of the "fifth disease "-the fifth, that is, of the acute eruptive disorders of childhood. He maintains that it is by no means rare in the spring and early summer. He objects to the titles " acate infectious erythema " (Sticker) and " simple erythema marginatum " (Feilchenfeld), and prefers "megalerythema epidermicum," as suggested by Placht, who also described the disease. Most cases occur in children of between 4 and 12 years of age; there is one case on record in a baby of I4 months. The incubation period varies between six days and a tortnight. Prodromal symptoms occur -such as slight sore tbroat, a feeling of lassitude and malaise-but more usually the eruption is the all-important manifestation, and the general state of health remains unchanged. This eruption affects the skin only; the mucous membranes are never affected. Beginning on the face, the rash appears in the form of bright-red confluent patches on the cheeks, which may be slightly swollen. The redness disappears on pressure with the finger, ancL slowly returns again. The chin, an area round the mouth, and the naso-labial folds are pale, even white, by contrast. The puffiness and redness of the cheeks stops short of the ears, and the margin is crescentic or finely dentate in outline. To the ordinary observer, perhaps, such an appearance on a child's face might indicateno more than the rudest health. In more marked cases the rash takes the iorm of large blotches of varying shades of red. Then one sees that the centre of each patch is oedematous, and that as it gets better, which it does in less than forty-eight hours, the redness and tumefaction leave the central part first, and recovery takes place from the centre to the periphery. Thus, ivherever there has been a red blotch there remains for a time a broad irregular red ring. The appearance of the skin at that stage has been said to be " marbled " (cutis marmorata). The rash scarcely affects the trunk at all; perhaps there will be a few discrete patches on the chest and back. On the limbs it is chiefly the extensor surfaces which are affected, and there the blotches are very large, and the marbled appearance at a later date is still more striking. The eruption disappears in the same order; first, the skin of the face recovers its ordinary hue; a day or two later the extremities do the same, though the " geographicalmap " appearanceTpersists sometimes for several days. The ordinary constitutional symptoms of an eruptive fever are conspicuous by their absence. There is no thickly-coated tongue, nor thirst, nor any appearance like the " strawberry tongue" of scarlet fever. There is no swewling of the lymphatic glands-no cougb, no coryza. Nothing abnormal can be found in the urine, and there is no feverishness. The affection lasts from six to ten days; exposure to the sun and violent physical exercise during the complaint seem to make a relapse probable. In practice there would be no difficulty in the differential diagnosis from the other eruptive disorders so common in children. One of the forms of pityriasis is something like it for a few hours only. The epidemic character and short duration distinguish megalerythema from drug eruptions. Therapeutic activity is to be discouraged. The prognosis is good, and there are no complications or sequelae. Isolation of the patient is desirable only until the rash is entirely gone. There is not the least trace of pigmentation or desquamation.


This chapter asks how British academic values, some of them native to universities in the United Kingdom, can expect to deal effectively with managerialist plans and policies. It claims that transmission of Humboldtian ideas is a way forward. It dissects Humboldt's three "unities", then offers an analysis of Bildung -- the general idea of what makes a person aesthetically, socially, and morally "educated". A transmuted, but well-founded, version of Humboldt's and FIchte's educational schemens may strengthen the British university's idea of itself; and it is high time to do this work, as the move to "marketisation" gathers force in the United Kingdom.

The reaction of RuCl2(PPh3)3 with two molar equivalents of a multi-functionalized ligand, 3-diphenylphosphino-1propylamine (DPPA) yields two mononuclear, low spin, diamagnetic, octahedral neutral complexes, [RuCl2(η -P,NDPPA)2] (1) and [RuCl2(η -P,N-DPPA)(PPh3)2] (2). The complexes have been characterized by conductivity measurements, FTIR, UV-vis, H and variable temperature P{H} NMR, ESI(+)MS, TGA-DTG and cyclic voltammetry. The ESI(+) mass spectrogram of (1) shows molecular ion peak at m/z 658[M], indicating mononuclear nature of the complex . No fluxional behavior is observed from the variable temperature (200-300 K) P{H} NMR spectra. The complexes (1) and (2) upon treatment with CH3CN in 1:1 molar ratio in the presence of NH4PF6 in dichloromethane solution afford the six-coordinate cationic complexes [RuCl(η-P,N-DPPA)2(CH3CN)](PF6) (3) and [RuCl(η -P,N-DPPA)(CH3CN)(PPh3)2](PF6) (4), respectively. The complexes (3) and (4) have also been characterized by FTIR, ESI(+)MS, H and P{H} NMR spectra at room temperature. The complexes (1) and (2) are found to have high catalytic activity towards the oxidation of aromatic alcohols with H2O2/NaOCl as oxidant. Maximum conversion of 95% can be achieved under mild reaction conditions.


Fully insertable laparoscopic cameras feature more locomotive flexibility in a larger workspace compared to conventional trocar-based laparoscopes and thus represent a promising future of minimally invasive surgery. These cameras are principally anchored and actuated by transabdominal magnetic coupling. Although several proof-of-concept prototypes have shown the technical feasibility in terms of camera actuation and laparoscopic imaging, none of them are getting close to clinical practice due to concerns about safety. One common problem lies in that the interaction force between the camera and the abdominal wall tissue is completely unknown and not controlled. The camera is being manipulated in an open loop which exposes the patient to a high risk of being injured. In this paper, a noninvasive real-time camera-tissue interaction force measurement approach for an insertable laparoscopic camera is proposed, implemented, and validated.Ex-vivo experiments using a simulated abdominal cavity have demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach during anchoring, translation, and rotation camera behaviors. Potential surgical impacts enabled by the force feedback have also been exemplified by a robotic-assisted camera control experiment using shared autonomy.

Students are less able to comprehend and resolve mathematical issues as a result of reading mathematical content. Additionally, deductive mathematics learning necessitates the use of skills in mathematics instruction by the teacher to ensure that students comprehend and correctly answer mathematical issues. The teaching methods of teachers when students are learning are thus the subject of some research. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mathematics instructors' delivery methods in Masohi City's junior high schools. The participants in this study were junior high school mathematics teachers in Masohi City, and they were chosen based on their educational background, length of employment, attendance at workshops, and/or other relevant strategies or the use of instructional materials. The mathematics teacher's teaching methodology is the subject of the study. A quantitative descriptive research methodology was adopted, in which the amount of data collected was stated in detail. Observation, questionnaires, and interviews with research participants are other methods used in data collection. When the research was being done, observations were made to watch what was happening. The purpose of the questionnaire is to determine how effectively the chosen teaching method can encourage students to use mathematics in their classwork, homework, and other performances. The interview was done to ascertain the accuracy of the questionnaire responses and to serve as a discussion starter for the results that would be discussed later.


Abstract This article identifies a moment of conceptual innovation—the 1830s to the 1850s—in which everyday artists and writers in Siam were tasked with creating comparative representations of the peoples of the world. Although their compositions took a variety of formats, they departed from earlier representations of alterity by devoting equal attention to each 'type', including the Thai themselves. This approach is best exemplified in three mid-nineteenth-century works: (1) a set of archetypal portraits of about 20 peoples painted on the shutters of a major Buddhist monastery, (2) sculptures of 32 peoples at the same monastery with a short poem describing each one, and (3) entries defining terms for peoples in an early Thai–Thai dictionary. The systematic formatting of these works drew on similar compositions circulating across the nineteenth-century globe. Yet, despite the presence in Bangkok of foreign interlocutors and imported books and prints, the mid-nineteenth-century compositions preserve ethnic tropes and practices of expression specific to Siam. In addition, the agents of intellectual innovation were not restricted to the usual princely or missionary protagonists. It was a motley cast of anonymous artists, local scholars, and middling officials who tapped traditional genres of composition and local markers of differentiation to render the peoples of the world as comparable, generic, and fixed.


The Higgs boson is a cornerstone of the standard model (SM) of particle physics, thus it comes as no surprise that the announcement of its discovery on July 2012 by ATLAS and CMS marked a very important date for particle physics. All the pieces of the SM have finally been observed and the parameters of the theory measured. However, we know that the SM is far from a complete theory and the fact that the Higgs boson has been, up to date, the only discovery of the LHC may be seen as unfortunate by many. In fact, the LHC is just confirming with exceptional accuracy the predictions of the SM, pushing the scale of new physics to larger and larger values, giving us no hints about its correct extension. Having measured all the parameters of the SM we can assume its validity to an arbitrarily high energy scale and extrapolate its behavior using the renormalization group equations. It turns out that the value of the Higgs mass is low enough to allow this extrapolation and the SM remains consistent up to the Planck scale. However, this computation reveals yet another puzzle: our universe does not lie in the global minimum of the Higgs potential; instead a much deeper vacuum exists at large field values. In principle, quantum tunneling into the true vacuum is possible but fortunately the decay time is about 10130 times the age of our universe. For all practical purposes our vacuum is not in danger and the decay will not happen any time soon. This peculiar situation is called metastability. Since the decay time is very long, new physics modifying the Higgs potential at high energies is not needed. The situation, however, changes dramatically if we want to understand why the Higgs ended up in such an energetically disfavored state in the framework of big bang cosmology. It is clear that some sort of fine-tuning is required in order to put the Higgs in the false vacuum. Not only that: the evolution of the universe goes through violent periods, such as inflation and reheating, where the Higgs may experience large fluctuations, making it difficult to justify why it did not decay into the true vacuum without assuming the existence of physics beyond the SM (BSM). The Higgs is a natural window into particles which are not part of the SM. In fact, it is the only particle with spin-0 and the only field which can form a dimension-2 gauge and Lorentz invariant operator: H†H. Within the SM this property is used to write a mass term for the Higgs which generates spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry, while in BSM models it allows to write interaction terms at the renormalizable level with gauge singlets and with gravity. In this thesis and in the papers attached we explore the effects that these renormalizable BSM operators have on the Higgs dynamics in the early universe. We show that stabilization of the Higgs field can be obtained in models of inflation if we allow the existence of Higgs-inflaton couplings or non-minimal coupling with gravity. The same models are then studied at the reheating stage, when all the particles that compose the present day universe are produced. On the other hand,


Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine combined with dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage before general anesthesia in preventing agitation during the recovery period of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: Eighty patients treated with electively laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into the normal saline group( group Ⅰ),dyclonine group( groupⅡ),dexmedetomidine group( group Ⅲ) and dexmedetomidine combined with dyclonine group( group Ⅳ). The premedication didn't be used in all patients. Group Ⅲ and Ⅳ were treated with a loading dose of dexmedetomidine( 0. 6 μg · kg-1·h-1) by intravenous infusion before anesthesia induction. After 15 min,the dose of dexmedetomidine revised by 0. 2 to 0. 3 μg·kg-1·h-1. The position between the top of the tracheal tube and 15 cm was evenly covered by dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage in group Ⅱ and Ⅳ,group Ⅰand Ⅱ were injected with saline infusion. The mean arterial pressure( MAP) and heart rate( HR) in all groups were recorded after operation( T1),tracheal extubation( T2) and 5 min after extubation( T3). The time of recovery and extubation,Riker sedation score before extubation and Ramsay sedation score after 5 min of extubation in four groups were observed. Results: Compared with the T1,the MAP and HR in group Ⅰand group Ⅱ were significantly higher at T2 and T3( P 0. 01). The MAP and HR in group Ⅲ and group Ⅳwere lower than those in group Ⅰ at T1 and T3( P 0. 05 to P 0. 01). The differences of the recovery and extubation time in four groups were not statistically different( P 0. 05). The Ramsay sedation score in group Ⅳ was significantly higher than that in other three groups( P 0. 01). The Riker sedation-agitation scores in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly lower than those in group Ⅰ( P 0. 01). The incidence of agitation in group Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly lower than that in group Ⅰ( P 0. 05). Conclusions: The treatment of a loading dose of dexmedetomidine( 0. 6 μg·kg-1·h-1) and 0. 2 to 0. 3 μg·kg-1·h-1after 15 min before extubation combined with dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage can effectively prevent agitation of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients during recovery period,reduce cardiovascular reaction during extubation and not prolong the recovery and extubation time.


An acoustic hologram is crucial in various acoustics applications. The reconstruction accuracy of the acoustic field from the hologram is important for determining the performance of the acoustic hologram system. However, challenges remain in acoustic hologram reconstruction where the conventional reconstruction methods generally lack accuracy, complexity, and flexibility. Although the deep learning (DL)–based method has been used to overcome these limitations, it needs the labeled training data to optimize the network with a supervised strategy. To address the problem, we put forward a new unsupervised DL-based reconstruction method in this work, termed PhysNet-AH, which is implemented by integrating a convolutional neural network with a physical model representing the process of acoustics hologram formation. The results demonstrate that we only need to provide PhysNet-AH with a single acoustic field recorded from the hologram, the network parameters can be optimized automatically without the labeled training data, and finally implement the acoustic hologram reconstruction with high accuracy, in terms of SSIM and mean squared error indicators. Furthermore, with the trained model, the robustness and generalization capability of PhysNet-AH have also been well-demonstrated by reconstructing the acoustic fields from different diffraction distances or different datasets. As a result, PhysNet-AH opens the door for fast, accurate, and flexible acoustic hologram–based applications.

Intersectionality has become a key concept for social justice advocates and socially conscious scholars in feminist studies, critical race studies, queer studies, sociology, and many other fields. Yet prevailing conventions and habits of argument in scholarship and social life have led to distorted and destructive critiques of intersectionality that are damaging to feminist antisubordination scholarship and activism. These actions at the scene of argument constitute an academic feminist public through articulations that serve as socializing pedagogies. This article examines four rhetorical frameworks and two accompanying tropes that interpellate feminist subjects in ways that are destructive to antisubordination struggles. They allow hegemonic logic to masquerade as radical critique. Feminists cannot escape the use of patterned language, claims, and arguments, but we can insist on looking more closely at the scene of argument in order to determine how conventionalized framing rhetorics and tropes serve us badly when they are presented as convincing rhetorical moves that gain purchase by undermining radical critique. The scene of argument is a terrain laden with traps but also a shared social resource for which we are all responsible. Transforming the terms of reading and writing at the scene of argument can help us tell the truth and not get trapped.


THE QUESTIONS of whether and how the collateral source rule might apply in CERCLA cost recovery actions have been issues of interest to potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (1) ("CERCLA) (e.g. owners, operators, arrangers, and transporters who select disposal locations) and their insurers. Over the past several years, four federal district court opinions discussed the possible application of the collateral source rule (2) to CERCLA cost recovery and contribution actions: Vine Street, LLC v. Keeling (3); Raytheon Aircraft Co. v. United States (4); Friedland v. TIC, Inc. (5) and Basic Management Inc. v. United States. (6) In 2008, the issue was squarely presented for the first time to a federal court of appeals in merits and amicus briefs filed in the Tenth Circuit in Friedland v. TIC. (7) On May 29, 2009, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgement in favor of the defendants in Friedland v. TIC, Inc. holding that the collateral source rule does not apply in CERCLA contribution actions, and for the first time applying the specific allocation rule (8) in a CERCLA proceeding. This article reviews the case history of Friedland v. TIC, articulates the arguments made by the parties at trial and on appeal, and analyzes the bases for the Tenth Circuit's landmark decision and the impact of the decision on PRPs contemplating CERCLA cost recovery or contribution actions. Robert Friedland and the Summitville Mine The Summitville Mine sits high in the San Juan mountains of southern Colorado, 25 miles south of Del Norte, Colorado. The location has been the site of known mining activity since at least 1870, and likely was explored by and known to the first Spanish explorers. More recently, Summitville gained notoriety as the highest profile environmental calamity to hit the modern American mining industry. In the mid-1980s, the Summitville Consolidated Mining Company ("SCMCI"), a subsidiary of Galactic Resources, Ltd., designed and constructed the 550 acre Summitville Mine, a heap-leach gold mine facility. The heap-leach process employed at the Mine involved spraying a cyanide solution on mined ore in a heap-leach pond to precipitate gold. Robert Friedland, an officer and director of Galactic, at certain times served as President and Director of SCMCI. In 1991, the State of Colorado served SCMCI with a cease and desist order based on evidence of elevated metal levels in nearby water supply. In 1992, SCMCI filed bankruptcy and announced that it would abandon Summitville. The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") commenced an emergency removal action to prevent contaminated water in the heap-leach pad at the mine from flowing over the heap-leach pad containment dike. (9) The Summitville Cleanup As a result of SCMCI's bankruptcy and the acid mine drainage and release of cyanide into the environment from the Summitville mine heap-leach pad and related storage facilities, the federal government ultimately has paid more than $200 million to remediate Summitville. (10) CERCLA allows parties to recoup costs associated with hazardous waste cleanup through two types of legal proceedings: (1) cost recovery actions under [section] 107(a); (11) and (2) contribution actions under [section] 113(f). (12) In a contribution action, potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") "who have contributed to the waste at a site may recover from other PRPs that portion of their cleanup costs which exceeds their pro rata share." (13) Section 113(f) provides that "[a]ny person may seek contribution from any other person who is liable or potentially liable under [[section] 107(a)], during or following any civil action under [[section] 106] ... or under [[section]107(a)]." (14) PRPs under CERCLA are defined to "broadly include current and former owners and operators of a facility or vessel involved in hazardous substance disposal and persons who arranged for or accepted hazardous substances for disposal or transportation. …


The pattern of life that bad makes modern society must give up if it is faced with a kidney disease. Kidney disease can get worse because society did not have the time to do health checks, so kidney disease cannot be treated as early as possible.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cerebral blood flow velocity(CBFV) induced by digit and arithmetic cognitive tasks and to determine the influence of gender, quality of the performance on the relative CBFV changes. MethodsSimultaneous bilateral transcranial ultrasonography Doppler (TCD) monitoring of CBFV in the middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) was performed in right-handed 45 normal volunteers during digit and arithmetic tasks and their preceding rest periods. ResultsCompared with their preceding rest periods,the relative CBFV changes of digit cognitive tasks in left was 8.6±4.6 and in right was 7.4±4.7; the relative CBFV changes of arithmetic cognitive tasks in left was 14.5±4.6 and in right was 8.8±4.6.Two tasks induced a significant bilateral CBFV increase in the MCAs (P0.001) and showed a significant left-hemisphere CBFV acceleration(The laterality index of digit cognitive tasks was 7.4±19.2 and arithmetic cognitive tasks was 26.3±24.7). Gender had no influence on laterality, but higher relative CBFV changes were observed in the male group when arithmetic cognitive task was performed. Performance quality did not reveal significant effects on CBFV change. ConclusionDigit and arithmetic cognitive tasks can induce a significant left-hemisphere CBFV acceleration.


The objective of this study was to determine the phytotoxic level of the soil content of zinc extracted with 1 M HCl. This extractant is used in Poland for determination of concentrations of available micronutrients in soil (B, Cu, Mo, Mn, and Zn) in order to diagnose their deficits and fertilization requirements. Two micro-plot experiments were set up on soil of the sandy loam texture with simulated Zn contamination at 4 levels of pH. The test plant was spring wheat. Using multiple regression analysis, prediction models were worked out to demonstrate the dependence between grain yield of wheat and the content of Zn in soil. The equations thus obtained, in which the soil pH represented a factor modifying the availability of Zn to plants, showed a high coefficient of determination R 2 = 0.87. Threshold values were computed from these equations, assuming that a 10% decline in grain yield manifested the phytotoxic effect of Zn.

With the accelerating construction of strong smart grid,and the grid voltage level rising,performance requirements for the electrical insulation of electrical equipment also continue to increase.In terms of the advantages of RTV on antifouling,the ability of RTV-based paints coated insulator against pollution conditions can significantly increase,mainly due to RTV coating with hydrophobicity and migration.But when the hydrophobic surface is in the fully wet,many small drops of water on the surface will be gathered into to form large drops of water,which will distort the surface electric field.The flashover voltage of the hydrophobic surface's separated water droplets under DC and AC electric field are analyzed comparatively in this paper,while some influencing factors such as different dielectrics and volume of water drops,are introduced in specific experiments,and their effects on the flashover voltage are analyzed.The flashover voltages are studied for hydrophobic and hydrophilic surface under DC field in order to find the differences of flashover voltage in both cases.


Although there is an air of pessimism running through this book, there is also a recognition of accomplishments: transfer programs have improved the lives of millions of persons even though the official poverty statistics fail to record such improvements. By using a simple money income measure of household well-being, the Census Bureau ignores the real income gains provided by the in-kind transfers: food stamps, free school lunches, supplemental food for women, infants, and children (WIC), rent vouchers, public housing subsidies, medicaid, energy assistance, etc. These programs, which provide substantial benefits to some thirty million low income persons, are the central core of the war on poverty; they now make up over 70 percent of the budget for all income-tested programs but are not counted as income. Hence it is not surprising that policy analysts relying on poverty rates as the best indicator of social progress have become pessimistic. Glazer recognizes the deficiency of the poverty statistics, but that does not assuage his pessimism: relieving poverty through transfer payments to dependent, fragmented welfare households is not enough. We now have a more demanding measure of success; we want to bring these people into the mainstream of society. Using a comparative approach, Glazer notes that American society, being more diverse in its ethnic, cultural and geographic dimensions than many welfare states in Europe, has a more difficult time developing an orderly welfare system.

Summarizes several magnetization methods of detecting steel wires,introduces the theory of magnetic bridge,and gains the structure size of the excitation device through calculating and experiment.


This paper argues that satisfaction data from surveys are biased by varying participant attitudes toward the interview itself. In this manner, interviewees in a German panel study report lower life satisfaction when there is evidence of transient influences like aversion. The empirical findings suggest that researchers of well-being should consider interview-specific factors in order to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions.


Abstract Catheter ablation has become a very efficient strategy to terminate sustained cardiac arrhythmias like atrial flutter (AFlut). Identification of the optimal ablation spot, however, often proves difficult when scar from previous ablations is present. Although the application of electro-anatomical mapping systems allows to record thousands of intracardiac electrograms (EGMs) from each atrium, state-of-the-art techniques provide limited options for automatic signal processing. Goal of the presented research was the development of an algorithm to detect EGMs that present double potentials (DPs), as these often indicate functional or anatomical lines of block for cardiac excitation. Using an annotated database, we developed several features based on the morphological descriptors of DPs. These were used to train a binary decision tree which was able to detect DPs with a correct rate of over 90%.

Deteriorating riding quality has a negative impact not only on infrastructure, but on the road user as well. Road users experience higher vehicle operating costs (VOCs), longer travel times, congestion and uncomfortable rides, to name a few. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the link between deteriorating riding quality and high vertical accelerations (awz) and VOCs for a bi-articulated bus on an identified bus route with different responsible road authorities in rural Mpumalanga, South Africa. The link, as identified, indicated that the speed the bus travelled played a big role in the generation of awz. Recommendations for future research are also proposed.


Objective To investigate the alterations of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis system in murine experimental severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) at different altitudes.Methods 72 Wistar male rats were divided into three groups randomly (n =24 in each group):4300 metres' altitude(group H),3300metres' altitude group(group M) and 1500 metres' altitude group(group L).Each group was further divided into four subgroups (n =6 in each subgroup):normal group (group N),6 hour after SAP model establishment group(group p6 h),12 hour after SAP model group(group p12 h),24 hour after SAP model group(group p24 h).Retrograde pancreatic duct injection of 5% sodium taurocholate (NaTc) method was used to establish SAP animal model.The levels of amylase (AMY),D-dimer,prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),fibrinogen (FIB) and the contents of antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) in serum were measured.Pancreatic tissues were sampled and studied by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining.Results (1)Compared to group N,the pancreas pathology score,AMY,Fib and D-dimer in serum increased significantly (P < 0.05) and PT,APTT and AT-Ⅲ lowered significantly (P < 0.05) at each time point in group P in the same altitude.In group P,the contents of Fib and D-dimer and pathological score gradually increased with time (P < 0.05),AT-Ⅲ activitise gradually decreased with time (P < 0.05) ; there was a significant difference (P < 0.05) when Fib,D-dimer,AT-Ⅲ was compared among three altitude's group P.(2) There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) between histological scores,PT and APTT in group Hp and group Lp,and the same result (P < 0.05) between group Mp and group Lp.There was no significant difference between group Hp and group Mp (P > 0.05).(3) There was a positive correlation between histological scores and Fib,D-dimer (P < 0.05) in group P in the same altitude ; AT-Ⅲ and histological scores,Fib,D-dimer (P < 0.05) have a negative correlation in group P in the same altitude.Conclusions More severe damage of pancreatic tissues and disorders of coagulation and fibrinolysis system were observed in rats with severe acute pancmatitis at high altitudes.Changes in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis system may be involved in the severity of acute pancreatitis.

space and are respectably dressed. It is not until we notice that it is a female figure positioned near the open window—a pictorial device that visually blends the garden with the interior of the cottage—that we begin to realize that Spilsbury is taking liberties with pictorial conventions; this symbolic placement within the composition alludes to the world beyond the domestic realm and was traditionally associated with male subjects as is the case in Morland's art. Likewise, in their analysis of Spilsbury's "cottage door" paintings, Page and Smith point out the subtle but important difference between these images and paintings on the same theme by Gainsborough. In Spilsbury's paintings, women and children in front of the cottage are often shown engaged in tasks like sewing or intellectual pursuits like reading, instead of passively waiting for their father or husband to return. In these paintings the home is represented as a site of industrious engagement, and the authors of Women, Literature and the Domesticated Landscape point to the fact that these women and children are depicted outside their cottage door, a compositional device that underscores the significance of nature in unsettling these gendered assumptions. The production of botanical images by women like Anna Maria Hussey further emphasized intellectual pursuits in nature. Hussey, like her contemporary Beatrix Potter, made close and careful pursuits of fungi in the English landscape during the nineteenth century. While women were encouraged to take an interest in the natural world during this era, these activities were expected to conform to accepted societal conventions. For instance, it was acceptable, as Page and Smith point out, to be a "lady hobbyist" or a "Sunday botanist," but to publish a two-volume study like Illustrations of British Mycology (1847–55) situated Hussey "outside the norm in several ways" (108). The discussion of garden manuals produced for women during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries also offers a rich ground from which to explore how issues of gender, domesticity, and identity were negotiated in this context. The garden served as a transitional space from the home to the rest of the world in a very literal and material sense. Instruction manuals on how to make use of these transitional spaces are, perhaps not surprisingly, laden with sociocultural conventions, and yet these publications also permitted and, at times, even fostered a reimagination of the domestic realm along gender lines. Page and Smith observe: "an ongoing debate about women's desires, expectations and capabilities extended to the gardening manuals written by women" (163). Manuals such as Every Lady's Guide to Her Own Greenhouse (1851), published the same year that Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace took the world by storm, emphasized how "feminine taste" could come together with botanical pursuits to "bridge interior and exterior spaces" (166). Page and Smith have brought together many rich and varied sources—calendar imagery, fictional novels, scientific illustrations, landscape paintings, and garden manuals—to present a coherent argument about the cultural significance of the English garden in women's lives at this time. This is a meticulously researched book that draws upon some often overlooked sources and perspectives on this topic. The range of material the authors draw on coupled with the interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks employed form a notable strength of this study. The subjects covered in this book make it appealing to a wide audience; however, it will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of women's history, art history, visual culture, garden history, and British material and cultural history.


Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a key player in a plethora of physiological and pathological events. Nevertheless, little is known about the dynamics of PGE2 secretion from a single cell and its effect on the neighboring cells. Here, by observing confluent Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells expressing fluorescent biosensors we demonstrate that calcium transients in a single cell cause PGE2-mediated radial spread of PKA activation (RSPA) in neighboring cells. By in vivo imaging, RSPA was also observed in the basal layer of the mouse epidermis. Experiments with an optogenetic tool revealed a switch-like PGE2 discharge in response to the increasing cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations. The cell density of MDCK cells correlated with the frequencies of calcium transients and the following RSPA. The ERK MAP kinase activation also enhanced the frequency of RSPA in MDCK and in vivo. Thus, the PGE2 discharge is regulated temporally by calcium transients and ERK activity.


This article seeks to examine whether special statement is effective in seeking to protect the psychological integrity of children and adolescents who are victims of sexual violence. It is known that the crime of sexual violence has many consequences, especially for children and adolescents who are still in a state of development. In this sense, a project was born, initially called " statement without damage", which resulted in the enactment of Law 13.431/17, which aims to reduce victimization caused by Court inquiries and facilitate the victim's understanding of the need to make explicit in a clear and true way the illicit occurred, with the use of specialized professionals to do so. The project is the result of numerous studies that brings this methodology of inquiry less harmful and more guaranteeing rights, aiming at their dignity and integrity, and concomitantly, aid in the search for the truth. The method used in the elaboration of this article was the inductive method. The data collection was through the technique of bibliographic research. The field of study is in the area of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure.


A theory is developed, without recourse to a detailed model, for evaluating certain linear combinations of the average cosines of the angles between dipole moments of pairs of structural units that are closely spaced along the chain contour. Measurements of the compositional dependence of the effective dipole moment per structural unit together with a knowledge of the compositional dependence of the probabilities for various types of sequences of structural units provide the required information. The theory offers a possibility for testing the validity of certain restrictive assumptions that are implicit in earlier treatments of the problem. Additionally, the theory provides a basis for determining unequivocally from experimental measurements whether angular correlations exist among the structural units that contribute to the orientational part of the polarization and whether the angular correlation parameters, if they exist, depend on the types of structural units involved.

Abstract In this study, an electro-catalyst of Pt nanoparticles supported by polypyrrole-functionalized graphene (Pt/PPy-reduced graphene oxide [RGO]) is reported. The Pt nanoparticles are de-posited on the PPy-RGO composite by chemical reduction of H2PtCl6 using NaBH4. The presence of graphene (RGO) caused higher activity. This might have been due to increased electro-chemically accessible surface areas, increased electronic conductivity, and easier charge-transfer at polymer-electrolyte interfaces, allowing higher dispersion and utiliza-tion of the deposited Pt nano-particles. Microstructure, morphology and crystallinity of the synthesized materials were investigated using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed successful deposition of Pt nano-particles, with crystallite size of about 2.7 nm, on the PPy-RGO support film. Catalytic activity for methanol electro-oxidation in fuel cells was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The fundamental electro-chemical test results indicated that the electro-catalytic activity, for methanol oxidation, of the Pt/PPy-RGO combination was much better than for commercial catalyst.

HTS dynamo magnetic flux pumps are perspective devices for contactless charging the superconductor magnets and coils. In this work, we investigate the influence of a ferromagnetic substrate of a coated conductor used as the pump stator. We use the thin shell model of a coated conductor with a ferromagnetic substrate and show that such a conductor increases the pump-generated voltage if the superconducting layer is between the rotor and the substrate. Chebyshev spectral method is employed for numerical solution. Using simulation results for problems with a given transport current we also derive a simple analytical description for feeding a current to a coil.


"Consider in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N\ge 2$, with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$ the following nonlinear eigenvalue problem \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l} -\sum_{\alpha \in \{ p,q,r\}}\rho_{\alpha}\Delta_{\alpha}u=\lambda a(x) \mid u\mid ^{r-2}u\ \ \mbox{ in} ~ \Omega,\\[1mm] \big(\sum_{\alpha \in \{p,q,r\}}\rho_{\alpha}\mid \nabla u\mid ^{\alpha-2}\big)\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}=\lambda b(x) \mid u\mid ^{r-2}u ~ \mbox{ on} ~ \partial \Omega, \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} where $p, q, r\in (1, +\infty),~q<p,~r\not\in \{p, q\};$ $\rho_p, \rho_q, \rho_r$ are positive constants; $\Delta_{\alpha}$ is the usual $\alpha$-Laplacian, i.e., $\Delta_\alpha u=\, \mbox{div} \, (|\nabla u|^{\alpha-2}\nabla u)$; $\nu$ is the unit outward normal to $\partial \Omega$; $a\in L^{\infty}(\Omega),$ $b\in L^{\infty}(\partial\Omega)$ {are given nonnegative functions satisfying} $\int_\Omega a~dx+\int_{\partial\Omega} b~d\sigma >0.$ Such a triple-phase problem is motivated by some models arising in mathematical physics. If $r \not\in (q, p),$ we determine a positive number $\lambda_r$ such that the set of eigenvalues of the above problem is precisely $\{ 0\} \cup (\lambda_r, +\infty )$. On the other hand, in the complementary case $r \in (q, p)$ with $r < q(N-1)/(N-q)$ if $q<N$, we prove that there exist two positive constants $\lambda_*<\lambda^*$ such that any $\lambda\in \{0\}\cup [\lambda^*, \infty)$ is an eigenvalue of the above problem, while the set $(-\infty, 0)\cup (0, \lambda_*)$ contains no eigenvalue $\lambda$ of the problem."

In this issue we have two articles from social work educators about current issues in practice and education. The third piece is written by a former social worker/ social work educator reporting on activities undertaken as a private individual, motivated by her inside knowledge from her previous social work post. The first piece offers an account of a positive (though challenging) project to improve and develop educational practice involving Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) service users. The two other articles are accounts and reflections upon the difficulties involved in challenging examples of dishonest, exploitative, oppressive and unjust practices and regimes involving adults with disabilities and older service users. The article by Echo Yeung and Jan Box highlights some of the ethical issues encountered when social work educators plan to involve service users and carers from BME communities in the teaching of social work students. They reflect on and make some relevant and useful points regarding the ethics of conducting a project in a political context where minimal and intermittent funding is the order of the day and where the possibilities of real change can be undermined or challenged by the intransigent nature of bureaucratic organizations. The authors discuss the ethical dilemma of managing to balance raising expectations of change with the real possibility that these expectations may not be met because of the lack of core funding to sustain the processes of change. They forcibly make the point that the issue of sustainability has to be addressed if the involvement of service users is to be more than tokenistic. The authors also point out that a central feature of their ethical anti-oppressive practice in relation to working with a group of people from diverse communities and backgrounds was the importance they placed on understanding and working with the different dimensions of people's lives. Without this understanding, the uniqueness of the individual and their contribution to the group would be negated. Finally, the authors, through the process of critical reflection, identify and share learning gained from their experiences. The topic of whistle blowing links the papers by Sharon Rodie and Lilias Ward. Rodie explores the intricate and finely balanced tensions between challenging aspects of poor social work practice and the consequences that can proceed from taking action to protect the vulnerable. She captures the sentiments of many student social workers and professionals who find themselves in this precarious and vulnerable position of having to speak out against unprofessional behavior.


The following questions related to history are discussed: (1) What is history? History is the objective reality of human society in the past and its reflection in the mind. Something happened a second ago is also history. (2) The result and influence of history can be changed or remedied. (3) What is historiography? Study of the objective reality of human society in the past and its reflection in the mind is historiography. (4) Creative thinking of the subject of history recognition. (5) The significance of historical theory and the character of historians. (6) History and life, the function of historiography. Historians should and must pay attention to current social reality and life. The historical mission of historiography in the 21st century is to change historiography of historians into historiography of the masses.


A The word energy means different things to different people. The dictionary defines it as "a dynamic quality," "the capacity of acting or being active," or a "vigorous exertion of power" (Merriam-Webster 2003). A physicist may tell you that energy is the ability to effect change, while a biologist may say that it is what is responsible for growth and development in living things. When discussing energy drinks, it seems all of these definitions are appropriate. Energy drinks claim to provide more "energy" than your typical soft drink--by relieving fatigue, increasing alertness, enhancing mental and physical performance, and stimulating metabolism (Heidemann and Urquhart 2005). With names like Amp, Rockstar, and Monster, they appeal to those in need of a boost. Almost a third of 12- to 24-year-olds say they consume energy drinks regularly (Parker-Pope 2008). Some teens are drawn to them because of the "buzz" they produce; others use them to stay awake for late night study sessions; and some simply like the taste. But how exactly do these energy drinks work? Let's take a look inside the can. The main energy-boosting agent is caffeine. Caffeine is a methylxanthine--a diuretic that stimulates the body's central nervous system and cardiac muscle and relaxes smooth muscle. Caffeine can help make you less tired and more alert-its consumption has been associated with increased energy, enhancement of physical performance, and suppressed appetite (Heneman and Zidenberg-Cherr 2007). But in adolescents, it has also been associated with an increase in blood pressure, and too much (more than about 400 mg) can lead to restlessness, agitation, insomnia, abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), upset stomach, and decreased bone calcium levels (Heneman and Zidenberg-Cherr 2007). It also has a number of adverse affects on the gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to esophageal reflux disease and ulcers (Winston, Hardwick, and Jaberi 2005). The amount of caffeine in a given energy drink can vary widely. A typical serving may contain between 72-150 mg of caffeine, but many cans contain two or three servings each (Heneman and Zidenberg-Cherr 2007)--meaning one can may have a whopping 450 mg of caffeine. In comparison, an 8 oz. can of soda may contain anywhere from 22-46 mg, and a cup of coffee 134-240 mg (Heneman and Zidenberg-Cherr 2007). In addition, energy drinks are served cold and therefore may be consumed quickly or in rapid succession--racking up the total amount of caffeine ingested (Parker-Pope 2008). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require that energy drink labels list caffeine dosages, but many are urging the organization to change this practice. A common source of caffeine in energy drinks is guarana, a climbing plant native to the Amazon basin. The plant's fruit contains one seed, which typically has five times as much caffeine as a coffee bean. Most labels do not tell you how much additional caffeine is derived from this stimulant, but guarana is generally regarded as safe by the FDA. Another frequent ingredient is taurine, a nonessential amino acid that supports neurological development and regulates the level of water and mineral salts in the blood (Mayo Clinic Staff 2008). Some studies have shown that it may improve concentration, reaction time, and memory as well as athletic performance (Heidemann and Urquhart 2005; Mayo Clinic Staff 2008). One study from the University of Wisconsin, however, found that the combination of caffeine and taurine did not improve short-term memory, but did appear to lead to higher blood pressure and slower heart rates (Associated Press 2006). Because of insufficient data, the FDA has not determined the safety of consuming taurine. Many energy drinks also contain B vitamins, water-soluble vitamins that aid in cell metabolism and support nervous and immune system functioning. B vitamins are essential for good health, but too much can be toxic and result in nerve damage in the arms and legs (NIH ODS). …


The recent UDP-Lite protocol, possibly delivering erroneous packets to the application layer, is an example of tool allowing loosening and a rethinking of the layer separation principle, enabling information exchange among system blocks. For multimedia applications, erroneous packet payloads can be valuable and better to cope with than the lost ones, and these errors can be managed at the application layer, e.g., through concealment techniques. We analyze in this paper wireless H.264 video transmission through cross-layer design, by invoking different transmission strategies based on UDP-Lite, also jointly with RoHC and ARQ, and provide comparative performance evaluation.

Analysis over product reviews has drawn much attention due to its wide application. Most of the sentiment analysis research focuses on entertainment and catering due to the limitation of existing public datasets. In order to promote the comprehensiveness of data in the field of sentiment analysis, we present a new large-scale multi-sentiment tobacco dataset by distilling effective consumer experience information from massive online reviews of tobacco consumption. The release of this dataset would push forward the research in tobacco field. With the goal of advancing and facilitating the research of the overall sentiment of sentences with multiple aspects, we propose simple yet effective EHCRNN model, which combines the strengths of recent NLP advances. Experiments on our new dataset and the public nlpcc2014 task dataset show that the proposed model significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline methods.

The paper determines the foundation of formation of a touristic recreational potential of Lviv region. Main contributing factors of development of tourism industry of the region are investigated. It is established that the largest reserves of recreational resources are located in Drohobych, Zhovkva, Pustomyty, Sokal and Stryj districts. Small amounts of resources are concentrated in Brody, Zhidachiv, Kamenka-Buzka, Mykolayiv, Peremyshlyansk, Radekhiv, Sambir and Turka districts. Tourist routes of Lviv region were estimated. In particular, the most promising ones were evaluated, including the Golden Ring of the Boykivshchyna, the Russky Path – the old way through the Carpathians, Makivka – the mountain of the immortal glory of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen. The correlation-regression relationship between the indicators forming the tourist flows and the main components of the tourism development of the studied region was determined. The level and intensity of current usage of the potential of the region were estimated. SWOT-analysis of touristic and recreational potential of the region was carried out. The study of a touristic and recreational sector of Lviv region has made it possible to establish that its development depends primarily on the advantageous geographical location of the region, rich natural-resource and historical and cultural potential, and the development of touristic and recreational infrastructure. It was established that the region has all the necessary preconditions for the long-term development of cultural-cognitive, scientificeducational, religious, medical, hunting, ecological, business, sports and excursion types of the tourism industry. Particularly important and promising is the development of rural (green) tourism in the region. The development of touristic and recreational sphere of Lviv oblast depends, first and foremost, on the rational use of natural and cultural-historical resources, the reconstruction of sanatoriums and resorts, recreational and touristic establishments, the creation of material and technical base for the development of touristic and recreational industry, promotion of investment attraction, distribution of touristic product on the domestic and world markets and strengthening of international cooperation in the field of tourism and recreation.
