Several bark-rich liptobiolites were collected from south China, to investigate the structural characteristics of the liptinite in these coals. The proximate and ultimate analysis, the density gradient centrifugation (DGC) techniques, solid-state 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were employed to analyze the structure parameters. The vitrinite and barkinite were separated from bark coal by density gradient centrifugation (DGC) method. The purities of these two separated macerals are both over 98.6%. The chemical structural characterization of both separated vitrinite and barkinite were studied by using 13 C NMR, FT-IR, and ultimate analysis. In addition, the distributions and sizes of aromatic rings for both separated vitrinite and barkinite were determined by HRTEM. The two macerals were similar in their distribution of aromatic fringes, but the vitrinite does have a higher abundance of larger aromatic fringes than barkinite. The results showed that organic oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur functionalities are primarily incorporated into the polyaromatic structures based on the date of 13 C NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analyses. The most significant chemical structural difference between vitrinite and barkinite lie to that vitrinite has more aromatic functionalities and less aliphatic functionalities than barkinite. Furthermore, vitrinite has more covalent cross-links than barkinite. However, barkinite is consisted of longer aliphatic cross-links and more aliphatic side chains than vitrinite. Based on the results of the research, individual molecules of barkinite


A fuel-injector-replacement device obtains a learning value of characteristic data of an injector while an engine is running. The learning value stored in an ECU is updated into the learning value. When the engine is stopped, the characteristic data stored in an INJ-EEPROM are updated into the characteristic data stored in the ECU. When the engine is started, it is determined whether the characteristic data stored in the ECU agrees with the characteristic data stored in the INJ-EEPROM. When these data do not agree with each other, it is determined that the fuel-injector is improperly replaced without updating the characteristic data stored in the ECU.


This paper aims to enable schools to make their own low-cost temperature logging instrument and to learn a something about its calibration in the process. This paper describes how a thermistor can be integrated into a simple potential divider circuit which is powered with the sound output of a computer and monitored by the microphone input. The voltage across a fixed resistor is recorded and scaled to convert it into a temperature reading in the range 0–100 °C. The calibration process is described with reference to fixed points and the effects of non-linearity are highlighted. An optimised calibration procedure is described which enables sub degree resolution and a software program was written which makes it possible to log, display and save temperature changes over a user determined period of time.

Speech emotion recognition (SER) is a mechanism to identify emotions from speech or voice. With the help of SER, robots can understand human feelings. In this challenging world, SER is one of the latest inventions that help to know about human emotion when saying words. Before the widespread use of deep learning, SER relied on various approaches, including support vector machines (SVM) and hidden Markov models (HMM) with several distinct and preprocessing technical features. SER is a challenging task of computational human interaction. This topic has gotten so much attention in the past couple of years. Numerous techniques have been used in speech emotion recognition to extract emotions from voice signals, including several well-developed speech examinations and classification methods. In the traditional way of speech emotion, recognition features are extracted from the speech signals. Then the features are selected, which is collectively known as the selection module, and then the emotions are recognized. This is a very lengthy and time taking process. This paper design an algorithm based on feature extraction and model creation that recognizes the emotion based on the deep learning technique.


Accurate electric power demand forecasting plays a key role in electricity markets and power systems. The electric power demand is usually a non-linear problem due to various unknown reasons, which make it difficult to get accurate prediction by traditional methods. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel hybrid forecasting method for managing and scheduling the electricity power. EEMD-SCGRNN-PSVR, the proposed new method, combines ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), seasonal adjustment (S), cross validation (C), general regression neural network (GRNN) and support vector regression machine optimized by the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSVR). The main idea of EEMD-SCGRNN-PSVR is respectively to forecast waveform and trend component that hidden in demand series to substitute directly forecasting original electric demand. EEMD-SCGRNN-PSVR is used to predict the one week ahead half-hour's electricity demand in two data sets (New South Wales (NSW) and Victorian State (VIC) in Australia). Experimental results show that the new hybrid model outperforms the other three models in terms of forecasting accuracy and model robustness.


In this paper, an improved nonlinear resolution enhancement scheme based on Laplacian pyramid is proposed, which incorporates the peak sharpening technique into conventional nonlinear resolution enhancement methods. In the proposed scheme, the peak sharpening algorithms are firstly introduced to narrow the component with the shape preserved. Then the higher frequency component is generated by a nonlinear process based on the peak sharpening results. Simulation results indicate that the proposed improved algorithm obtains a better subjective quality and objective performance than conventional nonlinear resolution enhancement methods.

The aim of this research is to investigate the stability of titania nanofluid by utilizing the effect of gamma irradiation during the preparation of nano titania. Nanofluids with 0.00750.25 wt % loading of TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using a two-step method. Ultrasonic processing was applied to help the homogeneity and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) as anionic surfactant was added to increase the stability of the samples. UV–vis spectrometry, particle size distribution, zeta potential, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and sedimentation photo capturing were applied to visualize the stability and sedimentation rate of the prepared nanofluids. The results revealed that nanofluid prepared using TiO2 irradiated with gamma radiation during preparation are the most stable suspension within 37 days. In addition, photocatalytic activity of nanofluids was examined using Methylene Blue dye (MB) as hazardous compound. It was found that for the same amount of TiO2 sample used, the prepared nanofluid TiO2 showed higher efficiency for this reaction.


In the framework of the density functional theory a new electronegativity formulation via the Feynman-Kleinert path integral formalism in the markovian limit is proposed. The computation of the electronic density follows, in terms of partition function, the same procedure of the Levy's constrained-search for the wave function. The obtained electronegativity scale seems to respect the main criteria largely used for its acceptability.


Methanol fuel processing generates hydrogen for low-temperature, PEM fuel cell systems now being considered for transportation and other applications. Although liquid methanol fuel is convenient for this application, existing fuel processing techniques generate contaminants that degrade fuel cell performance. Through mathematical models and laboratory experiments chemical processing is described that removes CO and other contaminants from the anode feed stream.


Solubility of neptunium dioxide decreases as microstructure grain size increases, likely due to decreasing surface free energy and surface area.


context. The core of the book revolves around the prime ministerial debates, their organisation, their impact on the election and future impact upon British politics. This is appropriate given their clear defining role in the general election.This evaluation is coloured by contributions from figures such as Adam Boulton, Greg Cook and Chris Rennard, who inject the benefit of a personal perspective, enhancing the book's readability. This, however, is appropriately constrained by an academic evaluation, which ensures that the validity of the work for scholars is maintained. However, the use of non-scholarly authors in an academic work has a propensity to risk a journalistic analysis, potentially curtailing the book's objectivity. In addition to this, the new media are also considered. As Garber argues, the shift in electioneering is increasingly away from the traditional forms of canvassing vis-à-vis the battle bus, and more towards new media outlets such as Twitter, which play an increased role in the democratic process. This, however, is subverted by research revealing that fewer members of the mature electorate – the demographic most likely to vote – use such technology. As such, an over-reliance on new media is potentially harmful to the electoral process, legitimising an approach consisting of new and traditional methods. Importantly, this appraisal is connected to academic evaluations of the necessity for effective political rhetoric and oratory, although these are not evaluated in detail.The focus of the book is on the practicalities of elite rhetoric and manipulation of the media.This work should make excellent reading for scholars of elections, the process of securing support, and the shifting use of media in British politics. The absence of a theoretical basis of political communication, however, deprives the book of an awareness of the wealth of communicative methods. As such, students of that aspect of political communication may find little of value. Rather, the importance of this book comes from its focus on media impact upon the 2010 general election, making the book of particular interest to scholars of that aspect of political communication, loosely defined, and British politics more generally.


A tree belt bordering a road can be a useful and environmentally friendly noise abatement measure when specific guidelines are followed. However, biological limitations regarding biomass density largely limit their shielding efficiency. Especially in case of recently planted belts with juvenile and thus thin trunks, acoustical efficiencies are small. The current study is a further elaboration on a previously performed large set of full-wave numerical calculations of tree belt planting schemes, where the effect of the presence of supporting poles is numerically investigated. It is shown that such poles can be used to give a juvenile non-deep tree belt a reasonable noise abatement, and that specific configurations of supporting poles in between the trees can further optimize its shielding. Making such poles absorbing could strongly increase road traffic noise abatement.


This paper investigates how government interventions into banking systems such as blanket guarantees, liquidity support, recapitalizations, and nationalizations affect banking competition. This debate is important because the pricing of banking products has implications for borrower and depositor welfare. Exploiting data for 124 countries that witnessed different policy responses to 41 banking crises, and using difference-in-difference estimations, the paper presents the following key results: (i) Government interventions reduce Lerner indices and net interest margins. This effect is robust to a battery of falsification and placebo tests, and the competitive response also cannot be explained by alternative forces. The competition-increasing effect on Lerner indices and net interest margins is also confirmed once the non-random assignment of interventions is accounted for using instrumental variable techniques that exploit exogenous variation in the electoral cycle and in the design of the regulatory architecture across countries. (ii) Consistent with theoretical predictions, the competition-increasing effect of government interventions is greater in more concentrated and less contestable banking sectors, but the effects are mitigated in more transparent banking systems. (iii) The competitive effects are economically substantial, remain in place for at least 5 years, and the interventions also coincide with an increase in zombie banks. The results therefore offer direct evidence of the mechanism by which government interventions contribute to banks' risk-shifting behavior as reported in recent studies on bank level runs via competition. (iv) Government interventions disparately affect bank customers' welfare. While liquidity support, recapitalizations, and nationalizations improve borrower welfare by reducing loan rates, deposit rates decline. The empirical setup allows quantifying these disparate effects.

This thesis discusses the two different ways of developing the second language learner's competence, acquisition and learning. This distinction was proposed by Krashen in (1985) in his development of a model of second language learning. Acquisition is a subconscious process which resembles the way children acquire their first language. Learning is a conscious process that deals with what we know about the language and its rules. Acquired Competence is responsible for the fluency of production while Learned Competence acts as a monitor or editor to language production. The thesis analyses the findings of two elicitation tasks that were conducted to test Acquired vs. Learned Competences with EFL learners. The testing paradigm was the Natural Order Hypothesis which focuses on the acquisition of ten grammatical morphemes (e.g. –s plural, auxiliary, reg. past, irreg. past, etc.). The first elicitation task is a replica of Larsen-Freeman (1975) using a discrete point grammar test that is believed to reflect Learned Competence while The second task replicates Bailey, Madden and Krashen (1974) study using a natural data elicitation task (BSM) which reflects Acquired Competence. The subjects of the present study are thirty (30) EFL freshmen college female students studying at King Abdulaziz University. These subjects received formal instruction of English for six years throughout their pre-college education. Under the discrete point grammar test, the subjects showed an 'unnatural' order that was different from the one reported by Larsen-Freeman (1975) for ESL learners. It was found that this 'unnatural' order was instruction sensitive. Transfer from L1, and structural complexity were also noted as other reasons for this order. The present EFL subjects, however, showed an order that conformed to the natural order reported in many ESL studies when using the natural data elicitation task (BSM). If the Natural Order reflects the Acquired Competence, then, these EFL learners, who rely on formal instruction, and show a natural order, can only be assumed to have Acquired Competence. If that's the case, then this finding refutes Krashen's strong claim that "LEARNING DOESN'T BECOME ACQUISITION".

Abstract Using the outputs from 16 chemistry-climate models (CCMs), the trends of lower- to mid-stratospheric water vapor (WV) during the period 1980–2005 were studied. Comparisons were made between the CCM results and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Interim Reanalysis (ERA-Interim). The results of most of the CCMs, and those based on ERA-Interim, showed the trends of lower- to mid-stratospheric WV during the period 1980–2005 to be positive, with the extent of the trend increasing with altitude. The trend of lower- to mid-stratospheric WV in the ensemble mean of the CCMs was 0.03 ppmv per decade, which was about twice as large as that based on ERA-Interim. The authors also used a state-of-the-art general circulation model to evaluate the impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration increases and ozone depletion on stratospheric WV The simulation results showed that the increases of lower- to mid-stratospheric WV affected by the combined effects of GHG and ozone changes happened mainly via warming of the tropopause and enhancement of the Brewer-Dobson circulation (BDC), with the former being the greater contributor. GHG increase led to a higher and warmer tropopause with stronger BDC, which in turn led to more WV entering the stratosphere; while ozone depletion led to a higher and cooler tropopause, which caused the decreases of lower-to mid-stratospheric WV, despite also causing stronger BDC.


Interruptible load management(ILM) is one of the demand response incentives.It is good to the reliability of the power system.During the peak time of the power system,there are always congestion restrictions.Based on the active power dispatch,an optimal IL purchasing model including hybrid generation,network and demand side restrictions was presented.This model not only puts emphasis on the network congestion capacity restriction but considers the influence of pre-informed time and the interruption duration period and the geographical position on network loss.The binary version of the particle swarm optimization(BPSO) method was used to solve this model.The simulation result shows that the model is fit for using IL in peak load congestion restricted dispatch in developing power market.


In 1985 and 1986 at least one joint industry project studied the concept of using a flexible riser to service a subsea well. As one step to help prove the concept viable, wireline tools were successfully installed downhole in a test well through a section of flexible pipe. The simulated riser, (flexible pipe) was offset 26' from the wellbore centre, while maintaining a radius curvature of 3022nd Annual Offshore Technology Conference, held 7-10 May 1990, Tx, USA. Proceedings, v 4 Paper OTC into the well tubing. The results of this test could help establish a call out wireline service using a floating service vessel. The results also demonstrated that the system would be applicable to floating production systems using flexible risers.


To overcome the difficulty of discretization in considering the very thin penetration depth due to the skin effect, the 3D eddy current field problem formulated in cylindrical coordinates is solved by the longitudinal component method together with the discrete Fourier transform. Galerkin's finite element method is used to calculate the 3D heat transfer problem in a moving conducting and permeable shell of infinite length. The results show that, with the eccentric inductor, inhomogeneous induction heating is clearly achieved.<<ETX>>


Cytoplasmic male-sterile sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) line, cms RIGX-HA 89 (Reg. no. GS-36, PI 642059), and two corresponding fertility restoration lines, Rf RIGX-Luch (Reg. no. GS-37, PI 642060) and Rf RIGX-RCMG1 (Reg. no. GS-38, PI 642061) were cooperatively developed and released by the USDA-ARS and the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Fargo, ND, in 2005. New sources of cytoplasmic malesterility and fertility restoration genes will help reduce the genetic vulnerability of commercial sunflower hybrids because of the current use of a single male-sterile cytoplasm, PET1 (French) derived from H. petiolaris Nutt., and a few fertility restoration genes. These new cms and corresponding fertility restoration lines will provide cytoplasmic diversity for hybrid sunflower production. Seed of the cms source RIGX, derived from H. pauciflorus (rigidus) Nutt. in a cultivated background, was obtained through a scientific exchange with the Former Soviet Union (FSU) in 1987, and was increased by crossing with the inbred line HA 89 (PI 599773) and bulked pollen of several wild H. annuus L. (WA) accessions. Crosses between male-sterile plants, with the pedigree of cms-RIGX/HA 89//WA/3/HA 89, and 21 prospective restoration lines indicated the presence of fertility restoration genes in 'Luch' and 'RCMG1'. Luch (PI 371937) is a germplasm developed at the N. F. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry, the FSU. RCMG1 is an S2 line of sibmated lines among male-fertile plants of the cytoplasmic male-sterile CMG1 germplasm obtained from Dr. E.D.P. Whelan, Morden, MB, Canada, in 1981 (Whelan and Dedio, 1980; Miller and Wolf, 1991). Segregation ratios of one malefertile to three male-sterile in the F2 and nine male-fertile to sevenmale-sterile in testcross progenies indicated fertility restoration was controlled by two complementary dominant genes (Jan et al., 2002). Cms RIGX-HA 89 is a BC7 bulk with the pedigree of cms RIGX/HA 89//WA/3/7*HA 89 and has the cytoplasmic malesterility characteristic of producing no visible anthers during flowering, similar to the cms PET1 currently used in all commercial hybrids. In field tests, cms RIGX-HA 89 plants produced no seeds after self-pollination, and 99% seed set from open-pollination, indicating complete male-sterility and female-fertility. Rf RIGX-Luch is an F6 bulk homozygous for the restoration genes, with the pedigree of cms RIGX/2*HA 89/3/cms RIGX/HA 89//WA/4/2*HA 89/7/cms RIGX/2*HA 89/3/cms RIGX/HA 89//WA/4/2*HA 89/6/cms RIGX/2*HA 89/3/cms RIGX/HA 89//WA/4/HA 89/5/Luch. Rf RIGX-RCMG1 is an F7 bulk homozygous for the restoration genes, with the pedigree of cms RIGX/2*HA 89/3/cms RIGX/HA 89//WA/4/2*HA 89/7/cms RIGX/2*HA 89/3/cms RIGX/HA 89//WA/4/2*HA 89/6/cms RIGX/2*HA 89/3/cms RIGX/HA 89//WA/4/HA 89/ 5/RCMG1. Cms RIGX-HA 89 is nonbranched, with a plant height of 96 cm, flowers 79 d after planting (DAF), and has a head diameter of 12.9 cm. Seeds are black with gray stripes, with a 1000-seed weight of 60 g. Rf RIGX-Luch and Rf RIGXRCMG1 are also nonbranched, with plant heights of 65 and 97 cm, flowers 66 and 68 DAP, and has seed set percentages of 59 and 81%, respectively. Seeds of Rf RIGX-Luch and Rf RIGX-RCMG1 are black with gray stripes, and have 1000-seed weights of 42 and 58 g, respectively. In comparison, HA 89 has a plant height of 132 cm, 73 d to flowering, head diameter of 14.8 cm, black with gray stripes seed color, 1000-seed weight of 69 g, and seed set percentage of 70%. Limited quantities of seed of each genetic stock are available on request from the corresponding author for 5 yr. Recipients of seed are asked to make appropriate recognition of the source of the genetic stocks if they are used in the development of a new cultivar, germplasm, parental line, or genetic stock.


Objective To study the expression of the T-box 5 transcriptional factor( TBX-5) in fetal rat hearts with maternal GDM during current pregnancy,and to explore the role of TBX-5 in the development of cardiac defect in fetal rats. Methods Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly divided into two groups. After successful mating,female rats in the GDM group were injected with STZ and the rats in the control group were injected with PBS. Blood samples were obtained at day 0,3,6,9,12,15and 19 of gestation for glucose measurements. Pregnancy in both groups of rats was terminated by C-section through random selection on day 12,15,19 of pregnancies. Following HE staining,pathological changes of rat embryo cardiac tissue were observed,the distribution and expression of TBX-5 in cardiac tissue was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared to fetuses in the control group,more rat embryos with development cardiac defects were seen in the GDM group at 12,15 and 19 days ofgestation( P 0. 01). Cardiac TBX-5 expression level was highest on day 12 of GA in both control and the GDM( P 0. 01). There was no statistical difference of cardiac TBX-5 expression found in fetal rat hearts of day 15 and day 19 of gestational age( P 0. 05). The expression level of myocardial TBX-5protein was higher at day 12,15,and 19 GA in the GDM group,the difference was significant compared with TBX-5 expression in the corresponding control groups( P 0. 01). Conclusions TBX-5 protein expression in fetal rat heart with maternal gestational diabetes were elevated on day 12,15,19 of gestation,suggesting that overexpression of TBX-5 may be associated with the development of cardiac abnormalities in rats born with maternal gestational diabetes.


Background: Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are older or ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy have limited treatment options and poor survival. In the VIALE-A study, venetoclax (Ven) + azacitidine (Aza) improved overall survival and response rates compared with placebo (Pbo) + Aza in older or unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML (DiNardo et al. N Engl J Med. 2020). Although cytopenia is common in AML, Ven+Aza was associated with hematologic adverse events in 83% of patients in the VIALE-A study (vs 69% in the Pbo+Aza arm). Here, the frequency and management of cytopenia are analyzed in patients achieving a best response of complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) in the VIALE-A study.
 Methods: This double-blind, Pbo-controlled, multicenter Phase 3 study (NCT02993523) enrolled patients with newly diagnosed AML who were ineligible for intensive chemotherapy due to age ≥75 years or comorbidities. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive 75 mg/m2 Aza (Days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle) plus either daily 400 mg Ven (Ven+Aza) or Pbo (Pbo+Aza). Disease response was assessed via bone marrow aspirate and biopsy at the end of Cycle 1 and at least every 3 cycles thereafter. After patients achieved blast clearance (bone marrow blasts <5%), various dosing modifications were implemented to manage cytopenia (Table 1). Cytopenia, defined here as Grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <500/μL) or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelet count <25×103/μL) lasting ≥7 days, was assessed using laboratory data.
 Results: In total, 186 of 283 (66%) Ven+Aza-treated patients and 33 of 144 (23%) Pbo+Aza-treated patients achieved a best response of CR or CRh (CR/CRh). Of patients with a best response of CR/CRh in the Ven+Aza arm, 77% achieved blast clearance by the end of Cycle 1, 88% by the end of Cycle 2, 92% by the end of Cycle 3, and 98% by the end of Cycle 4. Of patients with a best response of CR/CRh in the Pbo+Aza arm, 33% achieved blast clearance by the end of Cycle 1, 55% by the end of Cycle 2, 76% by the end of Cycle 3, and 91% by the end of Cycle 4. After achieving blast clearance, 75% and 67% of patients in the Ven+Aza and Pbo+Aza arms, respectively, had a delay of the next cycle, with a median duration per cycle delay post-blast clearance (range) of 9.0 (1-39) and 5.5 (1-21) days.
 Among CR/CRh patients, more patients receiving Ven+Aza versus Pbo+Aza had post-remission cytopenia (87% vs 45%; Table 2). A similar percentage of CR/CRh patients in both arms (Ven+Aza, 26%; Pbo+Aza, 24%) had in-cycle dose interruptions (ie, days without Ven/Pbo exposure between a cycle's first and last Ven/Pbo dose), with a median duration (range) of 2.0 days (1-20) for Ven+Aza and 1.0 (1-13) for Pbo+Aza. A greater proportion of CR/CRh patients experienced post-remission cycle delays due to cytopenia in the Ven+Aza arm (77%) than in the Pbo+Aza arm (30%). Furthermore, a higher percentage of CR/CRh patients had post-remission cycles with a reduction in Ven/Pbo dosing days and/or cycle delays totaling ≥7 days due to cytopenia in the Ven+Aza arm (75%) than in the Pbo+Aza arm (27%). Among these patients, the median percentage of days without Ven/Pbo administration while in remission (out of the total number of days in remission) was 18% (range, 1-69) in the Ven+Aza arm and 13% (3-44) in the Pbo+Aza arm. Ultimately, 129 CR/CRh patients (69%) in the Ven+Aza arm and 10 (30%) in the Pbo+Aza arm received ≤21-day Ven/Pbo dosing post-remission, with a median time from remission to first ≤21-day cycle (range) of 92.0 days (1-480) for Ven+Aza and 74.0 days (6-405) for Pbo+Aza.
 Conclusion: In the VIALE-A study of older or unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML, the majority of responding patients in the Ven+Aza arm required dosing modifications to manage cytopenia, of which delays between cycles or within-cycle reductions of Ven dosing days were most common. Post-remission cytopenia and dosing modifications were more frequent with Ven+Aza versus Pbo+Aza treatment. The impact of cytopenia and dosing modifications on patient outcomes with Ven+Aza is currently being analyzed and will be reported at a future date.

It is important to assess the performance of devices which produce entangled quantum states. We consider a problem to optimize the assessment scheme under the framework of hypothesis testing, a classical problem in quantum information. The optimal testing schemes are derived under some kinds of locality conditions and invariance conditions. In this problem, there is a mathematical difficulties caused by the intractability of LOCC measurement. In order to avoid the difficulty, we consider additional conditions such as invariance associated with the entangled state. Moreover, the measurement is discretized for the sake of convenience in experimental realization.

The traditional Chinese landscape painting has its special way of using the chromatic light.Influenced by the Confucius philosophy,painters have classified the relationship between white and black into the opposite one between Yin and Yang,which is expressed with the unusual way:ink.The expression of the traditional Chinese painting is not only of chromatic light,but of surrealism,which exists in reality and is rich in spiritual connotation.


The proper resin is figured out by comparing the heat resistance of different organosilane resins. The high-temperature coating which can resist 450 ℃to 500 ℃is formulated by optimization. The function mechanisms and the influences of anti-rust pigments, silicate fillers and coupling agents on the high-temperature organosilane coating are discussed.


Research indicates that emotion drives attention, which in turn promotes learning. The use of popular music in literature instruction emotionally engages students with text. The combination of melodies and lyrics aids in connecting text to reader, thus paving the way for comprehension.

With over 125 musical references, John Steinbeck's The Pearl is a natural choice for demonstrating the use of popular music in the classroom. Five student-centered lessons are presented in this column, along with suggestions for alternate lessons. Drawing on this model, teachers can combine other quality literature with selected songs to engage students in their classrooms. A music bibliography and music references are provided.


The contradiction between supply and demand of water resources in the Yellow River is obvious because of serious lack of water resources.It is difficult to coordinate the contradiction between human use(production and domestic) and the ecological use of water resources depending on the Yellow River's own water resources.Therefore,it is necessary to compensate the shortage of water resources in the Yellow River by studying inter-basin water diversion schemes,for alleviating the contradiction of water supply and demand,and providing basic condition for the protection of water supply security,energy security,food security,and ecological security in the Yellow River and neighbor areas.In this paper,a lot of inter-basin diversion projects were discussed such as east route,middle route and west route projects of the South to North Water Transfer,Hanjiang-to-Weihe River Water Transfers Project and Xiaojiang River Water Diversion Project.It was important and necessary to accelerate the preliminary work of west route projects of the South to North Water Transfer Project through comparing the strengths and weaknesses of each project comprehensively.Considering the water attenuation in the Yellow River and the rigid water demand in the future,other inter-basin water diversion measures should be sought to minimize the contradiction of water supply and demand in the Yellow River.


My first attempt at getting into contact with displaced Karelian Orthodox women was through a call for written autobiographical submissions that I organized in collaboration with the Finnish Literature Society (FLS). The collection of submissions on the topic of the everyday religion of evacuee Karelian women took place during 2006 and 2007. Quite early on, however, it became clear that it was not going to yield sufficient material for the study.1 Thus, when I composed handouts concerning the collection, I included a mention of the possibility of interviews. These handouts I sent to all 24 Finnish Orthodox parishes and to 73 member associations of the Finnish Karelian League.2 The campaign resulted in just three people expressing their interest to be interviewed. I acquired two more interviewees from among the women who participated in the collection of written material. At this point, I had to acknowledge that my approach was not working. There were simply too few potential informants, Orthodox women of evacuee Karelian background, alive for them to respond in great numbers to written announcements. What was required was face-to-face contact with possible participants. During the winter of 2007–2008, I thus made ten visits to meetings of three different Orthodox lay associations in southern Finland. This proved a better strategy; altogether I located 12 of the informants through these meetings. Furthermore, during the autumn of 2008, other researchers of Karelian culture put me in touch with seven more women, mostly from North Karelia. This final addition allowed me to correct the regional bias of the sample of informants so that they would not only represent the South of Finland.


The next election is an unknown quantity, with pundits and pollsters both divided on the likely outcome. However one thing is becoming increasingly clear: there is unlikely to be a large-scale move towards a realignment in the House of Commons, with party selectorates continuing to exert influence which amounts to a continuation of a white, prosperous, and above all male, dominance of Britain's lower chamber, argue Catherine Durose, Liz Richardson, Ryan Combs, Francesca Gains and Christina Eason.


The high anti-inflammatory activity and pronounced analgesic effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ((NSAIDs) allow successful treatment for pain syndrome associated with many diseases, primarily rheumatic diseases. NSAIDs are the main agents used to relieve pain in osteoarthritis, lower back pain, and  periarticular soft tissue diseases. They are also an essential  component of combination pharmacotherapy for chronic arthritis.  The therapeutic effect of NSAIDs is determined by the suppressed  activity of the cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes COX- 1 and COX-2. The widely use of NSAIDs in clinical practice is considerably limited by the risk of adverse reactions (ARs) in the gastrointestinal tract  (GIT), which are characteristic for this class of drugs. Medications  that are able to selectively inhibit the activity of COX-2 while  maintaining that of COX-1 less rarely cause ARs in GIT. This selective effect is produced by aceclofenac. A number of clinical trials have demonstrated the high efficacy of this drug in treating various  locomotor diseases. The drug has been also noted to be well  tolerated: the risk for aceclofenac- induced ARs in GIT is  substantially lower than that due to the use of the majority of other NSAIDs.


In the last decades, significant efforts have been made in order to obtain high thermal efficiencies in combustion processes without the adverse effect of high NOx emissions caused by flames at high temperatures [1]. It was found that a strong exhaust gas recirculation combined with air preheating generates relatively low flame temperatures. If the combustion air is diluted with a large amount of recirculated exhausts, the oxygen concentration in the reaction zone is reduced to a lower concentration with respect to the case of undiluted air allowing for a better control of the furnace average temperature. This combustion technology is commonly defined as flameless [2] or mild combustion [3,4]. The possibility to reach mild combustion conditions using gaseous fuels as methane or ethane [5], as well as mixtures of gaseous hydrocarbons and hydrogen [4,6], have been extensively studied; on the other hand, much less information are available concerning the sustainability of mild combustion for liquids [7-9] and solids [9]. For this reason, an experimental study has been performed in a laboratory-scale burner in order to evaluate the sustainability of mild combustion for liquid hydrocarbons, such as noctane and n-dodecane, using a two-nozzle feeding system. A common liquid fuel with a mixed composition, namely kerosene, largely used for domestic heating appplications and turbo reactors, was also considered. Therefore, the influence of different parameters, such as the oxygen excess and the combustion gas recirculation ratio (KV), on the stability of mild combustion and pollutants formation has been investigated.


Objective To investigate the expression of connexin29(connexin 29,Cx29)in mice cochlea and explore the reason why mutation of Cx29 caused deafness.Methods Adult wild type mice C57 were decapitated and their cochleas were dissected.After a series of preparations,frozen cochlea sections were cut(7 μm).Immunofluorescent labeling and colabeling of Cx29 with neurofilament(NF),myelin associated glycoprotein(MAG) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) were applied to the sections.Labeled samples were observed by a fluorescent microscope.Results In low-magnification view,Cx29 strongly labeled tracts where the auditory nerve travels inside the cochlea until the border was marked by the glial junction.The stria vascularis was faintly stained.Views obtained at higher magnification showed Cx29 expressed at the myelin of the spiral ganglion neurons and the auditory nerve fibers inside cochleas.Colabeling immunostaining showed MAG expressed in the auditory nerve inside and outside the cochlea and co-expressed with Cx29 only in the auditory nerve inside the cochlea in circular immuno-staining patterns.GFAP was only expressed in the auditory nerve in the brainstem outside the cochlea.There were no co-expressions of GFAP and Cx29.The antibody against neuro-filament gave an immuno-staining pattern of solid dots which were encircled by Cx29-positive pixels.Conclusion Cx29 strongly expresses in mice cochlea.It suggested that Cx29 should play an important role in the function of mice cochlea.


Let a and b be two simple closed curves on an orientable surface S such that their geometric intersection number is greater than 1. It is known that the group generated by corresponding Dehn twists t_a and t_b is isomorphic to the free group of rank 2. In this paper we extend this result to the case of a nonorientable surface.

[1] Power spectral analyses of the plasma density measured by the Voyager 2 spacecraft are used to investigate the spectral characteristics and fluctuation level of density turbulence from 1 to 60 AU, corresponding to the period 1977 to 1999. Only periods without clear discontinuities, with less than 10% missing data, and at least 256 samples are selected, strongly limiting the number and coverage of intervals analyzed. Typically, the power spectra have a dual power law form, with a closely Kolmogorov component at higher frequencies and a steeper component (∝ f−2) at lower frequencies, consistent with observations inside 1 AU. The spectral indices remain approximately constant with heliocentric distance R ≲ 30 AU, with weak evidence for a decrease toward the Kraichnan index at larger R for the h component. For R ≲ 20 AU the fluctuation level (δn)2(R) decreases approximately as R−3±1 but then flattens out in the region 20–30 AU before increasing slowly for R ≳ 30 AU. This injection of energy into density turbulence beyond 20–30 AU is not a heliolatitude effect and is contrary to the R−4 behavior for (δn)2(R) predicted on the basis of observations inside 1 AU. It is interpreted as the result of charge-exchange and pickup of interstellar neutral atoms for R > 1 AU driving enhanced MHD turbulence and associated density variations. The results provide independent support that observations of proton heating and enhanced magnetic turbulence levels beyond about 20 AU are both real and associated with pickup ions. They also suggest that existing calculations of angular scattering of the 2–3 kHz radiation observed by the Voyagers in the outer heliosphere must be redone and provide opportunities to test turbulence theories by comparing density and magnetic turbulence as a function of R in the outer heliosphere. Owing to limitations on the coverage and quality of data, confirmation of these results using nonspectral methods is desirable.

Abstract Manihot esculenta (M. esculenta) is the most important root crop in the world, which has high potential carbohydrate production and adaptability to diverse environments. In this study, we assembled the complete mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequence of M. esculenta into a circular genome of length 682,840 bp, comprising of 32 protein-coding genes, 17 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree was constructed based on 25 plant species and 23 conserved protein-coding genes, suggesting that M. esculenta is evolutionarily close to the Salicaceae plants (Populus tremula and Salix suchowensis) in the same Malpighiales order. The complete mt genome of M. esculenta will provide more desirable information for better understanding the genomic breeding of cassava.

As population and land-based transportation requirements continue to burgeon, scientists and engineers are forced to design more and more sophisticated transportation systems to meet such pressures. These systems may take the form of personal transportation media such as the private automobile, or they can be public-based, such as the recent Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system in San Francisco. In any case, the sophistication and speed of today's transportation systems require a highly analytical, as opposed to purely experimental, approach to their synthesis.


Ie Suum geothermal manifestation area is a hot sering resource in Ie Suum Village at Aceh Besar regency. Ie Suum hot spring is a stretch of Seulawah Agam mountain and is one of the most active volcanic mountains in Aceh. This area has higher temperature and soil pH compared to areas far from geothermal areas. Therefore, this study can be associated with the unique characteristics of vegetation of geothermal areas will be different from vegetation plants that exist in other vegetation types. This research was conducted by quadrat transect method by determining the location of the research by purposive sampling divided into four point (station) with size determined based on plant habitus that is: herb (1x1 m2), bush / shrub (2x2 m2), pole ( 5x5 m2), and trees (10x10 m2). Data analysis is done qualitatively and quantitatively. Quantitative analysis of data by using vegetation analysis are: density (Kr), Frequency (Fr), Dominance (Dr), and Diversity Index (A¤). The results of the study found 23 families consisting of 34 species with a total number of individuals as many as 534 scattered in 4 observation stations divided into herbaceous plants, shrubs, poles and trees. Important Value Index (INP) vegetation in geothermal manifestation area of Ie Suum in all stations was obtained by INP 225,86%. This value belongs to the high category. The species species that have the highest index of other species Axonopus compressus is 17.02%, while the lowest Importance Value Index is Clidemia hirta with a value of 1.32%. The high value of INP Axonopus compressus is due to this species living on dry soil moisture and high acidity. The biodiversity index (A¤) of geothermal area of Ies Suum of Mesjid Raya District of Aceh Besar is A¤ = 3,508. Vegetation of plants in the geothermal area ie suum belong to the high category due to plants that can adapt to high environmental physical-chemical conditions.

AIM
To determine the cutoff values and to compare the diagnostic role of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and prothrombin induced by vitamin K absence-II (PIVKA-II) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

METHODS
A total of 1255 patients with CHB, including 157 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 879 with non-cirrhotic CHB and 219 with cirrhosis without HCC, were retrospectively enrolled. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves of PIVKA-II, AFP and their combination were calculated and compared.

RESULTS
The optimal cutoff values for PIVKA-II and AFP were 40 mAU/mL and 10 ng/mL, respectively, for the differentiation of HCC from nonmalignant CHB. The sensitivity and specificity were 73.9% and 89.7%, respectively, for PIVKA-II and 67.5% and 90.3% for AFP, respectively. The AUROC curves of both PIVKA-II and AFP were not significantly different (0.854 vs 0.853, P = 0.965) for the differentiation of HCC from nonmalignant CHB, whereas the AUROC of PIVKA-II was significantly better than that of AFP in patients with cirrhosis (0.870 vs 0.812, P = 0.042). When PIVKA-II and AFP were combined, the diagnostic power improved significantly compared to either AFP or PIVKA-II alone for the differentiation of HCC from nonmalignant CHB (P < 0.05), especially when cirrhosis was present (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION
Serum PIVKA-II might be a better tumor marker than AFP, and its combination with AFP may enhance the early detection of HCC in patients with CHB.

The paper deals with a realization of control of distributed mechatronic system operated from MATLAB-Simulink environment. The mechatronic system serves as a laboratory model of simple manipulation system. The communication within the system is provided by wireless ZigBee protocol through a coordination unit. This unit is connected via serial interface to the control computer, where appropriate Simulink model runs. The paper addresses briefly individual physical components of the system (units, passive and active or executive elements etc.), specific blocks of used Simulink model and demonstrates the system behavior on several examples. 1 Mechatronic Systems and Wireless Communication Up-to-date industrial machines, due to a requirement of just-in-time production and its diversification, have to meet a definite level of flexibility, movability and modularity. The machines have to be simply modifiable for product variations. In general, if the modern machines are analyzed, they are formed not only from mechanical parts, but they combine a lot of electro-mechanic and pure electric components. Used term for such machines or their groups is term "mechatronic systems". To operate and furthermore to develop a concept of modern production described above, it is important to provide and to improve a suitable communication among control or supervisory units and low-level working End Devices performing real manufacture or manipulation operations. Proven standard communication is communication realized by conventional wire connection. This solution may be sufficient within one individual machine, but it may be a limiting factor in the group of flexibly reconfiguring machines. Logical, promising and developing way is a solution via wireless digital communication. The wireless communication technology is limited only by radius of transceivers (i.e. transmitter and receiver – all in one) and it is fully disconnected from control unit. It is advantageous in several aspects. One of them is e.g. ability to supply the individual End Devices separately from different power-supply units independently of control and supervisory units. This paper deals with a realization of control of one model of distributed mechatronic system representing specific manipulation system with several independent movable (main) units and stationery (auxiliary) units see Fig. 1.


Cross-sectoral cooperation is a complex process and a major challenge for NGOs, starting from its inception to implementing the agreement of the inter-organizational cooperation. It is often run in virtual environment since cooperating companies often remain in geographical distance. The terms of cross-sectoral cooperation of non-governmental organizations require the implementation of tools to improve the communication between the co-operators and between the co-operators and their environment. The purpose of this article is to assess the role of marketing communications in the cross-sectoral collaboration of NGO. The article is based on the literature review and primary research conducted among non-governmental organizations, public organizations and enterprises in the subregion Ostroleka. The research was run with the use of the questionnaire in 2014. Non-governmental organizations with cross-sectoral collaboration have emphasized that marketing communication is a key barrier to the establishment and development of co-operation. Therefore the concept of marketing communication of NGO on the following stages of the cooperation process had been proposed.


This thesis includes two main projects. The first project is a study of the effect of black hole spin on the accuracy of the post-Newtonian approximation. We focus on the gravitational energy produced by the quasicircular, equatorial, extreme mass-ratio inspiral of a compact object into a Kerr black hole of mass $M$ and spin $J$. For a given dimensionless spin $a \equiv$ J/M$^2$ (in geometrical units G = c = 1), the energy flux depends only on the orbital velocity $v$ or (equivalently) on the Boyer-Lindquist orbital radius $r$. We investigate the formal region of validity of the Taylor post-Newtonian expansion of the energy flux (which is known up to order $v^8$ beyond the quadrupole formula) by comparing the expansion to numerical calculations of the flux. We find that, at any fixed post-Newtonian order, the edge of the region of validity (as measured by $v/v_{\rm{ISCO}}$, where $v_{\rm{ISCO}}$ is the orbital velocity at the innermost stable circular orbit) is only weakly dependent on $a$. Independently of $a$, the inclusion of angular multipoles up to and including $\ell$ = 5 in the numerical flux is necessary to achieve the level of accuracy of the best-known ($v^8$) expansion of the energy flux. In the second project we study the excitation of Kerr black holes produced by infalling particles. Such a study requires an accurate knowledge of the Green's function describing the response of the black hole to external perturbations. Relying on the formalism developed by Mano, Suzuki and Takasugi, we improve and extend previous calculations of the contribution to the Green's function coming from quasinormal mode residues in the complex frequency plane ("excitation factors $B_q$"). Using these results we compute the "excitation coefficients" $C_q$ (the mode amplitudes) when the source of the perturbations is a particle falling into the black hole along the symmetry axis. We compare this calculation with numerical integra- tions of the perturbation equations, and we show quantitatively how the addition of higher overtones improves the agreement with the numerical waveforms.


J. B. S. Haldane once said that the main characteristic of the universe is its inexhaustible queerness. This statement reflects one of the least rational but most potent beliefs of scientists: that for the foreseeable future (perhaps forever?) each sustained and respectably imaginative research effort will lead us to some unexpected new level of understanding. Recent developments in sociobiology are not inconsistent with this vision of Nature. They reveal a richness of detail combined with resistance to generalization of the kind that typifies a science at the early stage of its development.


the conserved features inherent in motif 5, a sequence Logo was constructed for the motif 5 sequences from each of the 13 (of 14) classes of barrel-domains shown in Figure 5. Some subtle differences are evident between the classes, but the general motif can be written with single letter code for the amino acid residues as: G/A-x-x-G-x-R/G-Y/W-x-F (where "x" represents a nonconserved residue). In each case, the height of the letter representing each amino acid residue is proportional to how well conserved that residue is across the collection of sequences. Amino acid residues are colored according to chemical properties (basic = blue; acidic = red; hydroxyl = green, relatively hydrophobic = black). AT beta-barrel subgroup Motif Logo


This internal dosimetry meeting described the derivation of dose-per-unit-intake values, current ICRP thinking on the subject and state-of-the-art biokinetic and dosimetric models. In the context of screening and monitoring overall programmes and specific techniques used within the nuclear and medical fields were described. John Stather (NRPB) opened the meeting with The Work of the ICRP in Developing Dose-per-unit Values for Radionuclides. John outlined the recent work of the Internal Dosimetry Task Groups of Committee 2 in developing a series of documents giving inhalation and ingestion dose-per-unit-intake values for both the public and workers. The work had involved the application of the new respiratory tract model; the choice of appropriate gut absorption (f L) values for radionuclides in food and for workplace chemical forms; the development of age-dependent biokinetic models and the specification of excretion pathways. John reported that within the next two years Committee 2 is expected to finalise a revision of publication 54 giving (for selected radionuclides) bioassay interpretation information based on the new biokinetic models. The long term aim is to comprehensively review the biokinetic and dosimetric models for workers and to provide information in one document that is appropriate for both dosimetry and for bioassay interpretation. The New ICRP Lung Model and its Applications was described by Alan Birchall (NRPB) who had kindly stood in at the last moment for the published speaker. A summary of the new model was presented and compared with the ICRP 30 model. Alan described the fundamental difference in approach in the two models, i.e. the ICRP 30 model calculates only the average dose to the lungs, whereas the new model takes account of the presumed differences in radiosensitivity of respiratory tract tissues and calculates specific tissue doses. The new model is more flexible, wider in approach and compatible with later scientific evidence. It can readily incorporate information related to the subject (age, activity, health status) or the exposure (particle size, chemical form). Finally the new model is detailed enough for dosimetry purposes. The third speaker Robert Mairs (Department of Radiation Oncology at the CRC Beatson Labs) widened the discussion to internal dosimetry in the medical field with his paper on The Implications of the Microscopic Distribution of Internal Emitters for Dosimetry and Radiotoxicity. He described how tumour seeking molecules conjugated to radionuclides are used to provide targeted radiotherapy. The current work suggests that short range emitters are well suited to the treatment of circulating tumour cells whilst beta emitters are superior in the treatment of subclinical metastases or macroscopic tumours. Also clinical strategies using combinations of radio conjugates in targeted radiotherapy were well supported. David Taylor (University of Wales) continued on an applied subject The Metabolism and Dosimetry of Radiopharmaceuticals. Radiation doses received by patients following radiopharmaceutical administration (covering a wide range of 99m Tc-complexes and of natural metabolites and drugs labelled with 11C, 18F, 123I and other nuclides) may range from < 1 to > 20 mSv per patient per investigation. David pointed out that ICRP in publications 53 and 62, had begun to issue dosimetric models and dose-per-unit-intake values for the most commonly used radiopharmaceuticals. However current dosimetric practice assumes uniform distribution of the radionuclide in the organs and tissues. Today, with radiopharmaceuticals increasingly being designed to deposit preferentially in small areas the question of non-uniform uptake and retention represent new challenges for the future development of radiopharmaceutical dosimetry. Following a break for lunch Tony Gibson gave a historical account of Limiting Intakes of Radionuclides 1940 - 1985. The presentation outlined the early history of internal exposures, the earliest being exposure of miners in 1400, to the Manhattan Project 1940 - 45 and the post war years from 1946 - 1957. Quantification of Internal Dosimetry in ICRP Publications 2, 10 and 10A were described followed by a description of the ICRP 30 respiratory tract model. Tony's concluding point was that with the increasing sophistication and complexity of dosimetric models the possibility of carrying out calculations by hand has now effectively gone. Following this historical interlude, the meeting moved onto the current monitoring programmes used in the nuclear and medical fields. Alan Brither (BNFL) presented Design and Operation of a Screening Programme for Internal Contamination. The BNFL Sellafield statutory monitoring programme employs air sampling supported by urine sampling and in vivo monitoring (plutonium being of prime concern). In addition to the statutory programme, routine monitoring is also carried out for reassurance and to permit the assessment of received dose should the need arise. Indicators of accidental exposure are built into normal operations and routine monitoring designed to assess dose following suspected accidental intakes. The importance of worker cooperation in the success of any monitoring programme was stressed. To conclude, Alan looked to the future technical challenges to ADSs with the introduction of new models and the need to assess doses to progressively lower levels. On a similar theme Richard Birch (AEA Technology) presented The Interpretation of Excretion Measurements for Internal Dosimetry. He described the general principles involved with the interpretation of bioassay data focusing on the occupational exposure to long-lived radionuclides, such as plutonium. The types of monitoring available, i.e. air sampling, bioassay sampling and in vivo monitoring were identified followed by the main steps in the dose assessment procedure. To illustrate two practical examples were provided, the first outlining the steps taken following a single high urine result (incident) and the second following a high routine annual result. The presentation concluded with a summary of the key issues in a biological sampling regime. The final speaker of the day was Cathy Griffiths (Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield) on the Monitoring of Radionuclides in Hospital Employees. Cathy outlined the results of a survey of 25 nuclear medicine departments on their use of specific radionuclides and the monitoring of the hospital employees that was subsequently performed. The radionuclides generally considered for internal monitoring are 99m Tc, 125I, 131I, 8lm Kr, 133Xe and 3H. The availability and use of thyroid monitoring following the use of 131I for management of an overactive thyroid gland and air monitoring following lung ventilation scanning using 133Xe, 99m Tc DTPA aerosol or 8lm Kr were described. Generally doses from both types of studies were found to be in the µSv range. Overall the meeting proved to be informative and a useful forum for the exchange of ideas. A transcript of the meeting is held by the Society for Radiological Protection. Eileen Cowling Science, Policy and Risk: the Royal Society's conference on 18 March 1997 at Carlton House Terrace, London John Adams gave the opening presentation in this follow-up to the 1992 conference, but I missed it because of transport problems. Fortunately he has written a book ( Risk, UCL, 1995 ISBN 1-85728-068-7) and, along with the other presentations, his script appeared in the Times Higher Education Supplement of 14 March. The proceedings were available on the internet at http://thesis.newsint.co.uk - but whether they will still be there in June is uncertain. The most eye-catching element in Adams' presentation was clearly the concept of `virtual risk' - by which he meant risks that have great uncertainties about them. To quote the THES article `Virtual risks are products of the imagination that work upon the imagination. We do not respond blankly to reality, we impose meaning upon it'. Predictably, Adams gave BSE and global warming as examples of virtual risks and suggested that there is more to dealing with them than getting the science right. If the day had a theme, it was this. Themes apart, I was alarmed to find that the Davy safety lamp had actually caused more accidents than it prevented because it made people exploit more hazardous mines. I had always seen it as a kind of Albert Schweitzer among inventions. Tim O'Riordan from the University of East Anglia produced some evidence that the public do not greatly trust scientists to give them information on risks and have a marked distrust of Government scientists. In a survey of people in Norwich it was found that the most trusted sources for this kind of information were family, then friends. Scientists from environmental pressure groups were almost as reliable as friends and doctors were close behind. Government came bottom - as you feel it must - but religious organisations did particularly badly. So if you are worried about genetic manipulation give your Aunt Gladys a ring; don't bother the bishop. You will not be alone. Well, not if you live in Norwich. The main conclusion was that, where we are subject to uncertain risks, the fairness and integrity of the consultative process we go through before any decisions are made is as important to acceptance as any scientific information. This O'Riordan called `civic' science. I would call it `politics' myself because if politicians aren't making decisions about uncertain alternative futures I don't know who is unless it's managers or parents or everyone. John Krebs, the Chief Executive of the Natural Environment Research Council, made the apparently contentious point that you can always be scientific even when there are great uncertainties in a situation. He thought the problems stemmed from: lack of openness in decision making, lack of consensus and perceived lack of independence of scientists. Everyone ag

Over approximately the last five years, we have identified ∼35 black hole candidates (BHCs) in M31 from their X-ray spectra. Our BHCs exhibited 0.3–10 keV spectra consistent with the X-ray binary (XB) hard state at luminosities that are above the upper limit for neutron star (NS) XBs. When our BHC spectra were modeled with a disk blackbody + blackbody model for comparison with bright NS XBs, we found that the BHCs inhabited a different parameter space than the NS XBs. However, BH XBs may also exhibit a thermally dominated (TD) state that has never been seen in NS XBs; this TD state is most often observed in X-ray transients. We examined the ∼50 X-ray transients in our Chandra survey of M31 and found 13 with spectra suitable for analysis. We also examined two BHCs outside the field of view of our survey in the globular clusters B045 and B375. We have 42 strong BHCs and 8 plausible BHCs that may benefit from further observation. Of our 15 BHCs in globular clusters, 12 differ from NS spectra by >5σ. Due to improvements in our analysis, we have upgraded 10 previously identified plausible BHCs to strong BHCs. The mean maximum duty cycle of the 33 X-ray transients within 6′ of M31* is 0.13; we estimate that >40% of the XBs in this region contain BH accretors. Remarkably, we estimate that BHCs contribute >90% of those XBs >1038 erg s−1.


Although absolute rate coefficients have been measured for a number of reactions of aromatic molecules with O(3P) atoms, very little is known about the mechanisms of these reactions. In order to identify the products of O atom–aromatic molecule reactions, the products of single reactive collisions between oxygen atoms and benzene, toluene, and 1,3,5,‐trimethylbenzene have been observed in crossed molecular beam experiments. The products were detected with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Two product paths were observed for O+benzene: (1) the O atom–benzene adduct, which is most likely phenol, and (2) carbon monoxide and a C5H6 hydrocarbon which is probably 3‐penten‐l‐yne. An additional path involving the formation of (methyl‐substituted) benzaldehyde and H2 was observed for the reaction with methyl‐substituted benzenes. Only the adducts, the benzaldehydes, and the olefins were observed directly. The identities of the corresponding products were inferred from the difference between the mass‐to‐charge ratio ...


An experimental program has been initiated with the overall goal of providing a definitive understanding of fission product behavior under conditions applicable to light water reactor accidents in which the fuel rods reach a maximum temperature in the range 500 to 1300/sup 0/C. In order to test the apparatus and techniques of analysis, a series of ten experiments was performed in which selected fission product-type compounds were exposed to high-temperature steam and argon atmospheres. The species investigated were I/sub 2/, CH/sub 3/I, Cs/sub 2/O, and CsI, mainly in a steam atmosphere over the temperature range 500 to 950/sup 0/C. Iodine remained stable at 800/sup 0/C in steam and argon, but CH/sub 3/I decomposed; decomposition rate constants were calculated. Cesium monoxide reacted rapidly with steam to form CsOH (probably the monohydrate) which, in turn, reacted with the quartz furnace tube. Cesium iodide in steam at 700/sup 0/C decomposed partially by reaction with quartz. Although most of the CsI and the unreacted CsOH was collected in the thermal gradient tube, a small fraction of both these compounds was deposited in the form of particles in the cascade impactor and on the filters.


stored the world almost exclusively in symbolic terms. Restorationists do so literally. The implications of this difference remain to be explored. In the meantime, it is important that restorationists begin to recover the older wisdom as well, adding it to the new knowledge of ecology and techniques, and developing restoration not only as process and technique but as ritual and performing art as well.


Thin fllms of SnSe vacuum deposited on glass substrates kept at different temperatures have been studied by X-ray difliraction. It is observed that the high temperature phase of SnSe, usually found above 807 K is frozen in along with the low temperature phase when deposited at substrate temperatures of 473 K and above.


In the final scene of Schindler's List (Steven Spielberg, 1993), a marching line of actors leaving a liberated concentration camp dissolves into a marching line of the "real-life" Schindler Jews approaching Schindler's grave in Israel. In this dissolve, the black-and-white film changes to color, signaling both a generic and a temporal shift from the classical Hollywood mode and the past to "real-life" and the present.2 The real Schindler Jews walk with the actors and actresses who portrayed them to Schindler's grave, upon which they together place a memorial rock. This scene both ruptures the diegetic world of the film and acts as a guarantee of the movie's "authenticity." The movement that I would like to emphasize here is not the one from past to present, but rather the one between the authentic survivor and the actor. This moment stages what I take to be the agenda of the film the transferring of authentic living memory from the body of a survivor to an individual who has no "authentic" link

Some key theories and parameters associated with GFA of AI-based metallic glasses are reviewed,expecting to present new insights into developing bulk AI-based metallic glasses.


A transfer method of neutron radiography was developed to measure the size of the end plug and a gap of an intact K102L-2, the irradiated fuel of a ballooned K174L-3, a ballooned and ruptured K98L-3. A typical irradiation time of 25 min. was determined to obtain a film density of between 2 and 3 of SR X-ray film with neutrons of 1.5 × 10¹¹ nㆍ㎝?². To validate and calibrate the results, a RISO fuel standard sample, Cd plate and ASTM-BPI/SI were used. An activated latent image formed in the 100 ㎛ Dy foil was subsequently transferred in a dark room for more than 8 hours to the SR film which is a maximum of three half-lives. Due to the L/D ratio an unsharpness of 9.82-14 ㎛ and a magnification of 1.0003 were given. After digitizing an image of SR film, the ballooning gap of the plug was discernible by an H/V filter of image processing. The gap size of the ballooned element, K174L-3, is equal to or greater than 1.2 ㎜. The development of a transfer method played a pivotal role in developing high burn-up of Wolsung and PWR nuclear fuel type.

This paper describes the participation of the IPIPAN team at the CLEF-2019 CheckThat! Lab focused on automatic identification and verification of claims. We participated in Task 1 oriented on assessing the check-worthiness of claims in political debate by identifying and ranking, which sentences should be prioritized for fact-checking. We proposed a logistic regression-based classifier using features such as vector representation of sentences, Part-of-Speech (POS) tags, named entities, and sentiment scores. In the official evaluation, our best performing run was ranked 3 out of 12 teams.


Since 2007, globalization of the world economy has led to the expansion of the financial crisis. It affects the long-term international negative positions of EU members. They reacted to the new situation by carrying out structural reforms and by support of new adaptation programs. An important element of this process was the preparing of the convergence of the national energy policies in the framework of the Europe 20-20-20 program, which should remain one of the determining elements of their success in support of the international competitiveness of the EU.


Clinical responses to kinase inhibitor therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are limited by development of resistance. A major contributor of resistance is epigenetic adaptation to kinase inhibitor therapy. We present evidence that inhibition of the epigenetic regulator lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) augments the response to inhibitors of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) in FLT3-mutant AML. We demonstrate that combined FLT3 and LSD1 inhibition results in synergistic cell death of FLT3-mutant AML cell lines and primary patient samples. High-resolution epigenetic sequencing revealed that the combination therapy synergistically suppresses pro-proliferative MYC-bound promoters and activates pro-differentiative PU.1-bound enhancers. Regulon enrichment analysis in primary AML samples nominated STAT5 (a downstream target of activated FLT3 signaling) as a putative regulator of MYC gene expression. STAT5 is highly bound to the MYC blood super-enhancer and FLT3 inhibition results in a loss of both STAT5 binding and MYC blood super-enhancer chromatin accessibility. In contrast, LSD1 inhibition suppresses MYC target genes by accumulation of repressive H3K9me1 marks. We validated these findings in 72 primary AML samples, including 19 FLT3-ITD positive AML samples. The combination improved responses in the vast majority of patient samples, and high MYC regulon activity was a predictor of response. Gene expression profiling in treated primary AML samples confirmed that dual FLT3 and LSD1 inhibition activates PU.1 target genes and suppresses MYC target genes. Finally, single cell ATAC-seq on primary AML blasts treated ex vivo with combined FLT3 and LSD1 shifted cells from a MYC super-enhancer high to MYC super-enhancer low state. Collectively, these data provide preclinical rationale for the investigation of dual FLT3 and LSD1 inhibition in clinical trial.
