IN a short preface dictated by Blondel three days before his death in June 1949, at the age of eighty-eight, he tells us that the book consists of 'meditations' composed some twenty years previously (also dictated, for he was then already practically blind). They are, he says, more swift-moving, more direct and more accessible to non-professionals in philosophy than his other works and shed light on their controlling inspiration and their basic standpoints. They had just been revised, and may thus be described as Blondel's last words. They seem to have been very little read in the Englishspeaking countries, and I think this a pity. In what follows I shall quote at length from this book and make some attempt to assess its value. But it is necessary first to issue a warning that Blondel's style, even here, is tortuous and liable to irritate the modem reader: when it appears in a translation which is (necessarily) a rather literal one, it will be, no doubt, still less acceptable. A certain type of mind (rather common among us at the moment) has no use for Blondel at all. Others, I hope, will find this rewarding. In a single article I can deal only with a fewpassages whichseem to me specially significant. In a chapter on 'The destiny offered to man and imposed upon him', Blondel writes as follows: 'Despite all the efforts which we have made so far to bring out the enormity of a solution [to the general human predicament] which takes man out of himself and, so to say, out of the whole created order so as to introduce him into the divine life itself, has the terrible truth of this transformation been really grasped except as a mere matter of words and images?


For numerous enterprises, processes of communication with the market are important elements of their marketing activities. Expansion of new technologies and possibilities to use different forms of communication with the market understood as a source of competitive advantage encourages enterprises to look for more up-to-date and original solutions to be used while contacting the environment. The article presents functionalities of the virtual advisor (VA) as a new form of communication with the environment. Simultaneously, it is highlighted that dynamic development of new technologies and adaptation of new technology based solutions aimed at marketing communication provide modern enterprises with a lot of new challenges. The very marketing communication is at the same time acquiring features of higher activeness and creativity.


The authors propose and test a theoretical model addressing direct and indirect (through market share) linkages between Porter's generic business strategies of low cost and differentiation, and profitability (Competitive Strategy, New York: Free Press 1980). Results of a structural equation analysis provide support for a direct, positive relationship between low cost strategies and profitability. The results reveal a primary indirect effect of image differentiation strategies on profitability through market share. Insights are provided regarding the relevance of the market share goal under alternate strategic orientations.


Amplify-and-forward relay techniques combined with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulations are being considered for broadband wireless systems since they allow simple relay systems suitable for severely time-dispersive channels. However, since they rely in OFDM-based signals, these techniques are prone to nonlinear distortion effects. In this paper we consider OFDM- based amplify-and- forward relay systems with strong nonlinear distortion effects at both the transmitter and the relay node and we present a simple, but accurate, analytical method for characterizing the distortion levels at the subcarrier level.


In order to involve problems of the pressure relay when using, this paper proposed an improved design of pressure relay based on mechanical pressure gauge. Firstly, the structure of the pressure relay and the existed problems when using were analyzed. Secondly, based on the mechanical pressure gauge's work principle and its structure characteristic, combining the deflection angle of the pointer with the threshold value of the pressure relay, this paper improved the pressure relay's structure, electrical circuit and control circuit. Experimental results showed that when using the pressure relay based on mechanical pressure gauge, its switch value was better than the original pressure relay, and the set point deviation was also significantly reduced. The design of pressure relay based on mechanical pressure gauge was feasible. Introduction For the hydraulic equipment, in order to achieve automatic control using the pressure as control signal, the pressure relay is one of the important components. It is an electro-hydraulic control element, which converts the pressure signal of oil into electric signal. However, the original pressure relay has many problems such as the switching value is too large, the set point deviation is too big, and the repetitive precision is too low and so on, which affect the reliability and safety of the hydraulic system [1-3]. In the process of technical measurement, because mechanical pressure gauges' elastic sensitive components have the high mechanical strength and the convenience of production, which make the mechanical pressure gauges have been widely used. But mechanical pressure gauges cannot convert pressure signals into electrical signal outputs. Therefore, based on the working principle of the pressure relay, this paper reconstructed the mechanical pressure gauges, and implemented an improved pressure relay, which can not only accurately read the pressure value, and can reliably convert pressure values through electrical components into the control signal. The Structure Principle of Pressure Relay and Analysis of malfunction In the hydraulic system, through converting the oil pressure signal into electrical signals, the pressure relay can control the electromagnet, relays and other components, so that the oil circuit can perform the specified sequence of actions, and can also make the system stop working to protect the system security. The pressure relay is mainly consisting of the pressure displacement conversion mechanism, the electrical micro-switches and so on [4-5]. When a plunger pressure relay working, the oil enters from the following oil inlet port, when the oil pressure reaches the set pressure of the pressure relay, under the function of the oil pressure, the plunger will move up and drive the lever, then switch will actions. The size of the pressure relay's set pressure can be changed by the compression spring, which structure is relatively simple, more common, but it has low sensitivity and low reliability of the action [6].

During ground tests or flight operations of the Ariane third-stage HM7 cryogenic engine, quick surges in the hydrogen bearing temperature were observed. This bearing operates in liquid hydrogen and rotates at 60,000 rpm. Various modifications were developed, tested, and applied to the bearing after 1986. An analytical effort was carried out in order to obtain a better understanding of the thermal and mechanical behavior of the bearing in the housing environment. The first set of modifications (increase in cooling flow and outer race sliding conditions improvement) were applied to flight engines starting with Ariane flight V19 (September 1987). The second set consisted of a dry lubricant film deposition on the races and has been applied for the first time on Ariane flight V34 (October 1989). Ground tests and flight results have shown a drastic improvement in the thermal behavior of the bearing.


these during a 24-hour period, and her headache improved, but the same day severe pain began in both ankles and feet, and the next day she was unable to walk. On admission she was normotensive, and febrile (99.5' F.; 37.5' C.). Apart from a soft pansystolic apical murmur, abnormal signs were confined to the legs. No pulses could be felt below the femorals, and there was a sudden temperature drop at both mid-calves. The distal parts of both feet were pale, ischaemic, and very painful. The ischaemia was attributed to intolerance to ergotamine with presumed underlying obliterative arterial disease. The legs were exposed and kept cool, and tolazoline, 25 mg. thrice daily, given by mouth. For two days there was little change, but on the third day both feet were warm, red, and oedematous, and later all pulses became readily palpable. The feet remained painful for several days, but there was no gangrene and the patient was eventually discharged home free from signs and symptoms in the legs. There was no evidence of obliterative arterial disease or renal disease. The flocculation tests were weakly positive and the sedimentation rate 62 mm. at one hour falling to 32, but there was no increase of gammaglobulin on serum electrophoresis and no other evidence of an underlying collagen disease.


The US Department of Energy (DOE) Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) has embraced mobile wireless technology to help the disposition of hazardous and mixed radiological waste. The following paper describes one application the INEEL developed to increase the data accuracy and near-real time reporting requirements for waste management. With the continuous operational demands at the ''site'', it was difficult to sustain an accurate, up-to-date database required for regulatory compliance audits and reporting. Incorporating wireless mobile technology, the INEEL was able to increase the accuracy while reducing the data delay times previously encountered. Installation issues prolonged the project along with obstacles encountered with operations personnel. However, the success of this project was found in persistence and management support as well as the technology itself. Future wireless, mobile computing will continue at the INEEL for years to come based on a successful project that was able to integrate new technology to an existing waste management system with proven, increased data accuracy.


We find lag phasesexceeding 20 mm in measuring cre-. atine kinase activity, by using the kinetic creatine phosphate - creatine assay, in sera of some patients with carcinoma metastatic to the liver. Such long lag phases are accompanied by a decreased apparent enzyme activity. Theseproblems are eliminatedby addingsulthydryl agentsto the serum before assay, but not by addingmore of such agents to the assay reagent. fl-Mercaptoethanol is superior to Cleland's reagents,glutathione,andcysteine. The long lag phasescould not be explainedby inadequate activity of the coupling enzymes, interference with the coupling steps, high proportions of cardiac isoenzyme activity, simple oxidation of the enzyme, low concentrations of albumin,or increased concentrations of glutathione reductase, lactate dehydrogenase,or uric acid. We conclude that the prolonged lag phases reflect inadequate reactivation of the enzyme by sulfhydryl agents under the usual assay conditions. Reactivation before assay can prevent potentially serious negativeerrors in the assayof creatine kinase.

Effect of radiation exposure on the life span of animals has been reported by a number of observers (3-5). The mechanism by which life shortening occurs is believed by some investigators to result from the general acceleration of the aging process. Blair (6) theorized that a single exposure of sublethal radiation leaves an irreparable injury, causing premature aging. In chronic exposures, Boche's (5) data suggested that shortening of life span in four species of laboratory animals was proportional to the total dose accumulated. If indeed radiation exposure produces a condition comparable to increased physiologic age, it should be possible to demonstrate it by testing the response of irradiated and nonirradiated animals of the same chronologic age to stress conditions. The above reasoning prompted Curtis and Healy (7) to study the effects of irradiation exposure on ability of mice to withstand typhoid toxin. He reported that mice 12 months after exposure to 525 r of X-rays were less able to withstand this specific toxic stress than were controls. The present study was designed to compare mice naturally aged and mice aged by protracted y-ray exposure in their ability to survive a standard cold stress.


A recent paper by the authors showed that the innovative technique of CFRP repair of severely corroded steel circular pipes is promising. This paper presents further experimental results for two series of CFRP strengthened and rehabilitated pipes under quasi-static large deformation 3-point bending and direct indentation. The main parameters examined in this paper were the corrosion penetration in the wall thickness, its extent along the pipe, the type and number of the CFRP sheets. The corrosion in the wall thickness was artificially induced 3600 around the circumference and in the wall thickness by machining where four different severity of corrosion were examined of 20% (mild), 40% (moderate), 60% (severe), and 80% (very severe). The first series was for rehabilitation of 12 artificially degraded pipes with limited corrosion repaired using externally wrapped sheets where the extent of corrosion along the pipeline was in the range of Lc/Dn=1.0 to 3.0, where Lc=length of corrosion and Dn is the nominal diameter of the pipe. The second series represents strengthening of 4 degraded pipes with corrosion that extended along the full length of the pipe. The extent of corrosion along the pipeline in this series was Lc/Dn =8.0. The section slenderness examined in this paper was in the range of D0/t =20.32 to 93.6. The results show that the combined flexural and bearing strength of the pipe can be significantly increased by adhesively bonding CFRP. The maximum gain in strength was 434% which was obtained for the most severe 80% corrosion which extended along the full length of the pipe where


Objectives:* Review current trends in family structure.* Identify research and demographic findings that link child well-being to family structure.* Recognize the health benefits of fathers.* Examine the role of physicians and community organizations in addressing family environments.Many of social concerns are associated with personal and familial patterns. Educational attainment, obesity, cardiovascular disease, mental health problems, substance abuse and violence have all been recognized for their strong links to family experiences and routines. A number of years ago a clinic noted that there were significant "dropouts" from their obesity program. On closer evaluation, some similarities were noted with the "drop-out" group: they we likely to have experienced a difficult childhood, and often abuse.The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACE) developed out of the obesity clinic observation. Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control began a study that followed 17,000 patients. The information obtained is enlightening but not surprising. Seventeen risk areas associated with abuse, neglect and household dysfunction were identified. The more risks, or adverse childhood experiences, experienced by a person, the greater the possibility that they would have social, emotional or cognitive impairment. The impairments often led to high risk behaviors (drugs, sex, school failure, etc.) which increased the incidence of significant illness or disability.The information about this progression is not new. All of us have watched neighbors, friends and loved ones endure abuse or dysfunction, then succumb to social or mental health problems leading to poor choices and disease. The connections are "official research findings" now.Health Promotion: the next big question is: "how can we intervene?" or "how can we improve health?" For years health promotion believed that the cure to smoking or asthma or diabetes or drug use was through education. If we just let people know "this is your brain" and "this is your brain on drugs," people are smart enough that they will just do what is right.When education failed to modify health behaviors, we thought the magic bullet was motivation. If we align the messaging with the values of the person, or we scare them, or we promise good things as a result of good decisions, surely people will make good choices.Education and motivation can change a few patterns, but short-term behavioral changes in around 10-15% or the population are considered a good outcome. Health promotion advocates recognized that promoting health skills might improve outcomes. But even with the combined efforts of education, motivation and skills, condom education programs were failing to significantly modify patterns, even when the issue is potentially life and death, as noted in many of the HIV/condom programs.Support Systems: What does determine health behaviors? The root of most personal patterns is the family. The routines of sleep, the patterns of tooth care, the choice of foods, daily activity patterns, and models of communicating and coping with stress are all "caught" not "taught." When a society fails to support the support system that creates health patterns, it should not be surprised that health patterns fail.Health Interventions Do Not Predict Wellness: Relationships Predict Wellness Because Relationships Support Sustained Behaviors.The Paradigms of Baby Boomers:* Marriage is old fashioned and confining.* Open relationships are healthier and more conducive to personal development.* Fathers are nice but not necessary* It is better to live with a single mother than with unhappy married parents.* The kids will be okay; they are flexible.* Financial disparities are the reason for differences in health and school achievement.In other words, Baby Boomers created skepticism regarding relationships. …


Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) during pregnancy is common and distressing, however, the syndrome can be simply treated if diagnosed early. The purpose of this article is to revise the anatomy and pathology of CTS in pregnancy, enabling the midwife to diagnose the condition and instigate early treatment in the antenatal clinic. The current international literature on CTS in pregnancy is reviewed and key points are set out in the text.


The effects of pressure on anti-hydration of sulfur-tolerant shift catalysts with γ-Al_20_3 and Mg-Al-Ti as its support were studied under new simulated process conditions being used in domestic chemical fertilizer industry. The influence on catalyst performance after the hydration of the support was presented. The reason why anti-hydration of catalysts can be sharply enhanced by Ti was also discussed


In this article, a novel electromagnetic-frictional integrated brake is proposed, and its structure and working principle are introduced. The geometric model and mathematical models of integrated brake were established, and the multi-field coupling mechanism of integrated brake were analyzed. With BYD Qin as a reference vehicle, the boundary conditions of thermal load and force load of integrated brake were determined according to its structure and performance parameters. Based on the COMSOL software, numerical coupling calculations of electric, magnetic, thermal, and solid fields of integrated brake were carried out respectively in the emergency and downhill braking at a constant speed. The axial, circumferential, and radial temperature distributions of integrated brake disc were analyzed respectively, and they were compared with those of the traditional friction brake disc. The analysis results show that the proposed integrated brake can effectively improve the heat fading resistance of automotive brake during emergency and continuous braking. Under the two braking conditions, the temperature rise of friction brake was faster than that of an electromagnetic brake, and the effect of the electromagnetic brake on temperature rise of integrated brake was small.


Abstract : This report presents the results of a review of the current fillet weld specifications of the various classification societies and a developmental procedure for analyzing these rules by a rational method for establishing required weld size, and recommendations for further research. The results indicated large deviations among rules which relate the fillet weld size to the thickness of the base plate. The required fillet weld size by the most conservative rule may be two times that required by the most liberal rule. There appears to be a need for reviewing these rules more closely by analytical means. A computer program, named 'Automatic Dynamic Incremental Nonlinear Analysis (ADINA)', was used to determine the stress distributions in the welds of tee-joints under simple tension acting along the edges of the flange. This program could be used in determining the minimum weld sizes. A detailed explanation of the rationale of using (ADINA' program or similar FEM program is presented in this report. (Author)


There is growing concern that adolescent learners are not adequately prepared to meet the literacy challenges of school and life. To address this concern, a proliferation of reports related to adolescent literacy has attempted to synthesize and translate related research for a variety of stakeholders including educators, administrators, and policy makers. Such reports are essential to recommend components of successful programs and practices but are potentially overwhelming in scope and volume for practitioners. The purpose of this essay review is to identify key components and pressing critical questions from a variety of adolescent literacy reports that will direct improvement in reading for older students. This article serves as a primary review, presenting common threads across the reports related to core instruction for all students, supplemental instruction for adolescent struggling readers, the infrastructure necessary to support improved outcomes, and critical questions for moving forward as a field. Following this core review, three responses highlight perspectives from research, practice, and policy. First, Elizabeth Moje invites readers to consider the historical and sociocultural dimensions of the topic, discussing both overlooked research that has been conducted, and overlooked topics that have yet to be addressed by research. Next, Lori Digisi provides a practitioner's viewpoint, looking at literacy practices and results in her state, district, and school. Finally, Kris Gutierrez calls for the development of a broad federal literacy policy, one that is inclusive of individuals across the lifespan and is sensitive to the needs of students from non-dominant communities.


Although human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is widely used for wound healing, daily treatment with bFGF is required because of its short half‐life. An effective controlled‐release system of bFGF is, therefore, desired in clinical settings. To investigate the efficacy of a bFGF‐loaded nanosheet for wound healing, focusing on the controlled‐release of bFGF, bFGF‐loaded poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PGLA) nanosheets were developed, and their in vitro release profile of bFGF and their in vivo efficacy for wound healing were examined. A polyion complex of positively charged human recombinant bFGF and negatively charged alginate was sandwiched between PLGA nanosheets (70 nm thick for each layer). The resulting bFGF‐loaded nanosheet robustly adhered to silicon skin by observation using a microscratch test. bFGF was gradually and continuously released over three days in an in vitro incubation study. Treatment with the bFGF‐loaded nanosheets (every 3 day for 15 days) as well as with a conventional bFGF spray effectively promoted wound healing of mouse dorsal skin defects with accelerated tissue granulation and angiogenesis, although the dose of bFGF used in the treatment with the bFGF nanosheets was approximately 1/20 of the sprayed bFGF. In conclusion, we developed a bFGF‐loaded nanosheet that sustained a continuous release of bFGF over three days and effectively promoted wound healing in mice.


This study aimed to examine the mediating role of meta-cognitive and dysfunctional cognition in the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The study participants consisted of 600 staff of Khuzestan Steel Company (KSC). They filled out the following questionnaires: Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R, Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire-44 (OBQ-44), Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS), Young's 90-item Early Maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire, Meta-Cognitive Belief Inventory and Negative Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (NATQ). The results indicated that the proposed model has an acceptable fit (RMSEA=0.078). According to this model, early maladaptive schemas directly and indirectly predicted the OCD (β=0.93, P<0.0001) through metacognitive beliefs (CI= 0.18-0.09) and dysfunctional cognition (CI= 0.31-0.14). It was also revealed that dysfunctional cognition is mediating between early maladaptive schemas and the OCD (CI= 1.14-0.13). This study illustrated that the early maladaptive schemas restrain the surface cognitive processing. Therefore, it is recommended that the early maladaptive schemas, metacognition, and dysfunctional cognition are attended to treat the OCD. Keywords: Early Maladaptive Schemas, Meta-cognitive, Dysfunctional Cognition, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.


Abstract The demand for primary care services is expected to increase at a time of persistent shortages of primary care physicians (PCPs) in the United States. A proposed solution is to expand the role of other allied health professions. This study examines the causal effects of visits to nurse practitioners (NPs) on the demand for services from PCPs. We employ a system of simultaneous equations and dynamic panel estimators to control for endogeneity of visits to NPs. Results indicate that patients who visited an NP are significantly less likely to visit PCPs and to receive prescribed medication, medical check-up, and diagnosis from PCPs. Findings were robust to other specification and passed a falsification test. The results suggest that the use of NPs could serve as a potential option to address shortages in supply of primary care services.


Background: Preeclampsia is one of the most frequent complications of pregnancy; however its etiology is not proved yet. Endothelial dysfunction serves as a causative factor in the initiation of the maternal pathophysiological changes of preeclampsia & is not just a result of this disorder. Preeclampsia is associated with endothelial dysfunction & could be caused by oxidative stress. Recent evidence suggests the role of oxidative stress in the etiology of preeclampsia. Aim: To determine the role of endothelial dysfunction & oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: The study represents a case control study. The study sample included three groups, group (1) fifty non pregnant women, group (2) fifty normotensive pregnant women, group(3) fifty preeclampsia pregnant women in their third trimester attending AL-Batool Maternity Teaching Hospital during the period from 1 st of March 2011 to1 st of March 2012. Five ml of fasting venous blood was collected & used to measure the endothelin-1 by ELISA kit & malonaldiahyde by a reagent method. Results: There was a highly significant elevation (p=0.001) in the serum level of endothelin1 & malonaldiahyde in the preeclampsia pregnant women in comparison with the normotensive pregnant women and non pregnant women. Conclusions: Elevated serum level of endothelin-1 & malonaldiahyde in preeclampsia women suggested the role of endothelial dysfunction & oxidative stress in the etiology of preeclampsia.

Aim: The aim of this paper is to define the correlation between experiencing personal well-being and manifestations of spirituality of an individual.
Methods: The study involved the citizens of Chernihiv (average age – 33.2 years old): 96 people in total, 40 men and 56 women. The following methods were used: a) to measure the components of personal well-being – Satisfaction with Life scale by E. Diener, Psychological well-being scale by С. Riff, Questionnaire of parameters of subjective social well-being by T. Danylchenko; b) to measure the spiritual component – EPU Plus (Egoism - Personal Uniqueness) by L. Z. Levit, Methodology of measuring social interaction (mentality aspect) by G. L. Voronin.
Results: The source of experiencing personal well-being is positive health (physical abilities, absence of physical limitations). Factors that decrease personal well-being are low level of tolerance and the pursuit of pleasure. Personal well-being is ensured by belief about collaboration and experiencing positive health as a state of readiness for activity. Psychological well-being has a negative correlation with basic egoism (the pursuit of pleasure) and a positive one with social egoism (ability to comply one's needs with the group interests, following social rules and norms). Subjective social well-being relates to the highest egoism (unique self-realization, realization of existing potential in an acceptable way). The orientation towards achieving personal or public goals determines the peculiarities of experiencing well-being in the eudaemonic and hedonistic dimensions.


The environment mapping has been a great challenge of many researchers of the mobile robot autonomous navigation area. There are two important paradigms for mapping, metric and topological mapping. Diverse mapping methods that combine the advantages of each paradigm have been proposed. A simple alternative is to combine the metric mapping technique known as Occupancy Grid with an image skeletonization method to topological mapping. However, due noises inherent to the own robot ability of capturing sensor signals, the topological map generated through this combination presents several unnecessary topological lines, hindering consequently the task of autonomous navigation. Therefore, the aim of this work is to propose a set of mathematical morphology filters to generation of topological maps suitable for real environments, seeking to reduce influence of noises in performed mapping. Several experiments have been performed to verify the efficiency of the proposed approach. The application this mathematical morphology filters demonstrated to be an useful method to the creation of topological maps free of noises.


An isotope derivative method for determination of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) in biological material in amounts down to 10 pmoles is described. The method is based upon measurements of radioactivity in [5-3H]UTP formed in UDP-glucose (UDPG) pyrophosphorylase reaction using a highly purified preparation of UDPG pyrophosphorylase from calf liver and [5-3H]UDPG. The optimal conditions for reaction between [5-3H]UDPG and PPi was brought about by addition of phosphoglucomutase, NADP+ and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The method was specific and no influence from endogenous metabolites could be demonstrated. By this method the total concentration of PPi in rat liver and guinea pig liver was found to be in the range from 0.5 mM to 1.4 mM.


Permethrin resistance in the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.), was inherited as a single, major, incompletely recessive, autosomal factor. In each of two parental resistant strains, backcrosses to their respective hybrids demonstrated segregation. A distinct plateau in mortality from 50 to 500 µg/g larva was observed. High, stable permethrin resistance (ca. 540-fold) was observed only after outcrossing to a susceptible strain and selecting for the most resistant inbred lines. The single, segregating factor observed probably conferred insensitivity of the target site in the nervous system. Evidence for the existence of this major resistance mechanism and other minor resistance factors in these H. virescens strains will be published elsewhere. These observations, coupled with the apparent lack of reproductive disadvantage among resistant individuals, suggest that stable pyrethroid resistance may develop and threaten resistance management.


The aim of this study is to outline the common dermatological findings in pediatric rheumatologic diseases. A total of 45 patients, nineteen with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), eight with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), six with scleroderma (SSc), seven with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and five with dermatomyositis (DM) were included. Control group for JIA consisted of randomly chosen 19 healthy subjects of the same age and gender. The age, sex, duration of disease, site and type of lesions on skin, nails and scalp and systemic drug use were recorded. χ2 test was used. The most common skin findings in patients with psoriatic JIA were flexural psoriatic lesions, the most common nail findings were periungual desquamation and distal onycholysis, while the most common scalp findings were erythema and scaling. The most common skin finding in patients with oligoarthritis was photosensitivity, while the most common nail finding was periungual erythema, and the most common scalp findings were erythema and scaling. We saw urticarial rash, dermatographism, nail pitting and telogen effluvium in one patient with systemic arthritis; and photosensitivity, livedo reticularis and periungual erythema in another patient with RF-negative polyarthritis. Vascular skin lesions like RaynaudA''s phenomenon, livedo reticularis, palmar erythema, periungual telangiectasia and nailfold abnormalities were common in SLE, DM and SSc. Patients with FMF displayed signs of atopy. Specific skin lesions can be the peculiar features of rheumatologic diseases in pediatric population. Since it is not always easy to perform biopsy in children to confirm skin involvement of a rheumatologic disease, skin findings can help both dermatologists and rheumatologists in diagnosis.

the question of Kung's status as a Catholic theologian is important; it should also provide a spur to read or re-read Kung's works themselves, through the overall perspective here provided. Several chapters would serve well as introductions to the theological themes they address, guiding students to further reading both in Kung's works and beyond. The argument, in John Bowden's English translation, is generally clear, though it becomes somewhat dense in discussion of the intricacies of Kung's theological method. There are a number of misprints, one ('dialogue' for 'ideology' on p. 124, line 35) having the effect of a total reversal of the sense.


This paper introduces a batch fabrication method to manufacture Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) platforms for 3D integration of sensors spatially-distributed on a 2D plane. In the heart of the concept is a foldable MEMS structure with polymer hinges which is used to support and guide the assembly of the discrete planar sensors by means of folding them into a 3D shape, like origami, providing controlled distribution of sensors in space. Flexible hinges carrying the electrical interconnects are a critical structural element of the platform and material selection study for those is the main focus of this paper. We analyzed different materials for flexible hinges fabrication, including photo-definable polyimide and parylene-C. Three approaches for sensor integration are presented: 1) co-fabrication; 2) sensor drop-in; and 3) transfer bonding. The prototypes of structures with different flexible hinge materials were fabricated and evaluated based on their mechanical flexibility, chemical compatibility, and material outgassing. Parylene-C exhibited similar or better performances compared to polyimide, demonstrating in each of the experiments a higher degree of thermal flexibility up to 350 °C, a superior chemical resistance against hydrofluoric acid, and 2.9 times lower outgassing.

The whale optimization algorithm is a new type of swarm intelligence bionic optimization algorithm, which has achieved good optimization results in solving continuous optimization problems. However, it has less application in discrete optimization problems. A variable neighborhood discrete whale optimization algorithm for the traveling salesman problem (TSP) is studied in this paper. The discrete code is designed first, and then the adaptive weight, Gaussian disturbance, and variable neighborhood search strategy are introduced, so that the population diversity and the global search ability of the algorithm are improved. The proposed algorithm is tested by 12 classic problems of the Traveling Salesman Problem Library (TSPLIB). Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm has better optimization performance and higher efficiency compared with other popular algorithms and relevant literature.


The dynamic model of a vibroimpact system subjected to harmonic excitation with symmetric elastic constraints is investigated with analytical and numerical methods. The codimension-one bifurcation diagrams with respect to frequency of the excitation are obtained by means of the continuation technique, and the different types of bifurcations are detected, such as grazing bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, and period-doubling bifurcation, which predicts the complexity of the system considered. Based on the grazing phenomenon obtained, the zero-time-discontinuity mapping is extended from the single constraint system presented in the literature to the two-sided elastic constraint system discussed in this paper. The Poincare mapping of double grazing periodic motion is derived, and this compound mapping is applied to obtain the existence conditions of codimension-two grazing bifurcation point of the system. According to the deduced theoretical result, the grazing curve and the codimension-two grazing bifurcation points are validated by numerical simulation. Finally, various types of periodic-impact motions near the codimension-two grazing bifurcation point are illustrated through the unfolding diagram and phase diagrams.


A time-domain technique for the solution of arbitrary nonuniform multiconductor transmission lines (NMTL's) is presented. The technique is based on a weak formulation of the NMTL equations obtained through spatial expansion of the voltage and current vectors into biorthogonal wavelet functions. Wavelets allow adaptive representations of the solution by using few expansion coefficients, with any fixed approximation order. The set of significant expansion coefficients is determined automatically from the solution, which can be computed very efficiently. A numerical example illustrates the high adaptivity of the method.

CONSTITUTION: A memory cell(110) includes a variable resistor element and a switching element. The switching element controls a current flowing in the variable resistor element. A reference voltage generating unit variably generates a reference voltage by corresponding to a skew in the switching element. A sense amplifier(120) senses a voltage corresponding to the current flowing in the variable resistor element based on the reference voltage.


A autonomous country like India needs a high immune system of election to choose the leader for the society. With this rapid growth in technical world, there is a need of making the voting system more secure, to keep the election fair and non-vulnerable. There are several methods that being used by the government to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the voting. Our project is to preserve these qualities during the election which is implemented using the Raspberry Pi 3. Our project has a smart card where the details of each voters is stored. During the time of election, the fingerprint (R305 Fingerprint module) is taken in real time and checked with the details in the smartcard as well as with the details in the voting machine database. Thus, our system can be made more secure and preserves the integrity. By using an encryption technique each vote that poll is encrypted and stored in the database. Thus, the confidentiality of the voting is also preserved. There is an extra feature added in our system that any voter can poll their vote from any election booth, by registering their name earlier in the given website.


The Ford Motor Company underwent transition from workplace supervision based on a system of terror to one predicated on modern discipline. With what some contemporaries claimed was 'the world's largest private army' and an enormous espionage network, Henry Ford resisted adoption of human relations approaches and the new foremanship ideas that captured rivals such as General Motors. This account explains how in the 1940s the Ford Motor Company eventually capitulated and modernized its supervisory regime.


Due to the pandemic scenario that plagues the world, we have had to reinvent ourselves in the way we learn and teach. This article aims to report the pedagogical-technological practices to spread knowledge in times of social isolation. The strategy used in the methodological process is the bibliographic review, research scripting, production of audiovisual material and quantitative analysis of data from included social networks. The results were based on the metrics of three social networks of the Laboratory of Information and Communication Technologies Applied to the Educational Context (LATIC): Instagram, Youtube and Facebook, with the focus on the reach of the visualizations of the publications, in this way we could register the degree of sharing of the production of content during the pandemic.


To ascertain the simultaneous thermal and electrical performance of a thermoelectric (TE) unicouple with interconnectors, a thermal-electric coupled iterative mathematical model is introduced. The non-linear constitutive equations describing TE phenomena within the unicouple are linked to a thermal resistance network describing the interconnectors' behavior. Thereupon, the thermal resistance of the interconnectors, and Joule heat generated within, are considered. Temperature dependent material properties are handled by integral-averaging techniques and an iterative solution methodology. Model form uncertainty is quantified by evaluating four unique analytic models. The first, the Implicit Thomson Model (ITM), considers the Thomson effect via integral averaging of the Seebeck coefficient. The second, the Explicit Thomson Model (ETM), decouples the Thomson effect from the Peltier effect; Thomson heat is explicitly solved using the Thomson coefficient. The third, the zT model, uses the figure of merit to describe the optimum efficiency-maximizing load resistance, and quantify device efficiency under maximum power scenarios. The last, the Differential Equation Model, does not assume distributions of Joule and Thomson heats to the cold- and hot-side interfaces as do the ITM, ETM and zT model. The predictive ability of each analytic model used within the unicouple-level model is compared to high-fidelity numeric results obtained from a three-dimensional, thermal-electric coupled model implemented in ANSYS CFX. Considering a range of hot-side unicouple temperatures, each analytic model exhibits agreement with one another, and with the numeric model. With increasing load resistance values, model form uncertainty and disagreement between analytic and numeric predictions decreases to a couple of percent at optimum operating points.

The development of new types of composite materials is an important aim for construction. Nanoscale admixtures allow efficient control of the composition and properties. Results of experimental investigations concerning effect of admixture of nanoscale barium hydrosilicates to the chemical composition of hydrated portland cement are discussed in the present work. It is shown that several key processes are taking place during nanomodification. Amount of portlandite in cement stone decreases, and there is also quantity growth of different calcium hydrosilicates CSH (I), CSH (II), riversideite and xonotlite. Influence of composition and storing time of barium hydrosilicates to the ratio of different portland cement hydration products is examined. It is found that admixture of barium hydrosilicates with gross formula BaO•26.47SiO2•nH2O stored for 28 days leads to both reduction of portlandite and accretion of hydrated phase.

Through the analysis of the application problems of computer and internet in traditional business English teaching,this paper points out that when teaching business English,we should integrate computer and internet into business English teaching in stead of only using computer-assisted teaching approach.In other words,we should develop a new business English teaching model which can help students acquire knowledge actively and improve students' self-study ability and practical ability.What's more,this paper analyzes the roles of teachers in the new teaching model.


Protein import into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is essential for about 30% of the human proteome. It involves targeting of precursor proteins to the ER and insertion into or translocation across the ER membrane. Furthermore, it relies on signals in the precursor polypeptides and components, which read the signals and facilitate their targeting to a protein-conducting channel in the ER membrane, the Sec61 complex. Compared to the SRP- and TRC-dependent pathways, little is known about the SRP-independent/SND pathway. Our aim was to identify additional components and characterize the client spectrum of the human SND pathway. The established strategy of combining depletion of the central hSnd2-component from HeLa cells with proteomic- and differential protein abundance-analysis was used. The SRP and TRC targeting pathways were analyzed in comparison. TMEM109 was characterized as hSnd3. Unlike SRP but similar to TRC, the SND clients are predominantly membrane proteins with N-terminal, central, or C-terminal targeting signals.


An isolated bridge pier having rubber bearings is modeled by finite element technique and dynamic responses under effects of earthquake accelerations are obtained by linear solution methods in time and frequency domain; the results are evaluated by probabilistic distributions. For this purpose, stationary accelerations characterized by Kanai-Tajimi power spectrum are simulated for different soil types and twenty nonstationary records in each soil group are obtained by modulating the amplitudes in harmony with Erzincan NS 1992 component. The pier responses and deck displacements are obtained in time domain for different support and soil conditions by using simulated horizontal and vertical accelerations. Furthermore, variances of the responses are obtained in frequency domain by assuming stationary stochastic behavior and by using power density and cross-power spectra of the applied simultaneous motions. The results are evaluated by those of the time domain solutions and peak responses and variations of peak response factors are determined. For dynamic peak responses, the response quantities corresponding to exceedance probabilities of 2%, 10% and 50% (median) are predicted depending upon soil types by use Rayleigh distribution model


Relay selection strategies help to improve spectral and energy efficiencies, to enhance transmission robustness, or to reduce latency in multi-relay cooperative wireless networks. Two novel relay selection strategies are proposed and analysed here for 1. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) 2. Massive MIMO, amplify-andforward (AF) two-way relay networks (TWRNs). Specifically, they are designed to minimize the overall outage probability or maximize the achievable sum rate. Interestingly, the first strategy amounts to maximizing the minimum of the eigenvalues of the Wishart matrices of the channels from the selected relay to the two user nodes. Counter-intuitively, the latter strategy amounts to maximizing the minimum of the determinant of the same Wishart matrices. The performance of these two strategies is investigated by deriving lower/upper bounds of the overall outage probability and the average sum rate approximations in closed-form. Further, the asymptotic high SNR approximations of the outage probability are derived, and thereby, the achievable diversity-multiplexing trade-off is quantified. Our analysis shows that the transmit power at user nodes can be scaled down proportional to their number of antennas and thus the use of a large scale antennas systems results in significant power savings. Further use of large number of antennas makes relay selection process simple and deterministic. Our results reveal that relay selection indeed significantly increases the sum rate and decreases the outage probability of wireless systems and will be useful for the wireless systems.


This paper presents some general descriptions of conceptualization of visual perception and focuses on some basic structure-dependent types of meaning of visual perception verb in Russian and its communicational function. A basic prototypical perception situation seems to be concerned with at least one of the two basic participants, that of the perceiver, or that of the perceived(stimulus). Extension of the meaning of the verbs observed might be based on some purely lexical features of perception verbs, when we get neutralization of the opposition specified vs. unspecified perception in terms of sense modalities, which is characteristic both of experiencer-verbs and stimulus-verbs of perception. There are cases of structure-dependent or syntax-imposed meaning which leads to distinguish general kinds of perception, called experiential and non-experiential(mental). The former seems to be more characteristic of perception verbs denoting direct specified acts of experience, while the latter is characteristic of the verbs of mediated perception. We can see in a non-epistemic or in an epistemic way. The non-epistemic type of see is characterized by lacking positive or negative belief content. Regarding the epistemic type of see, which is referred to as seeing that, three subtypes are distinguished based on the way the information is obtained: acquisition of knowledge can either be achieved through our primary epistemic seeing or secondary epistemic seeing, or independently of visual means. The epistemic type of seeing can be realized through imaging of perceived and can have some modal qualification indicating either the path of sources of evidence or the speaker's greater/lesser degree of certainty regarding the truth fullness of the information. As a result, the modal expressions, derived from visual perception verb can also be used to indicate evidentiality of source of information and speaker's uncertainty regarding the truth of the proposition.


: This work presents the results of a study that aimed to understand how dimensions of language act in the generation of the derivative family formed from the category foder [fuck], a polysemic and self-antonymic category. The study was guided by assumptions from both Cognitive Linguistics and Historical Linguistics, seeking to carry out interdisciplinary discussions based on the contributions of Sociohistorical Cognitive Semantics and Complexity Theory, in such a way that it dialogues with authors like Booij (2010, 2017), Capra (1996) and Silva (2008). Regarding its methodological design, the study was developed through a qualitative approach to the corpus, which is formed by Twitter posts; it has an exploratory, descriptive, interpretative, historical, and comparative nature, and sought to understand the occurrences of the derived constructions in its context of use, as it wanted to describe and understand its use and functioning. After completing the work, it was found that the new categories created with [[FODER]V Y] can also be polysemic and self-antonymic, and that the metonymic selection of the knowledge of the speaker-writer acts in this process of creating the lexicon. The results achieved collaborate to elucidate the guiding questions of the study.


Objectives: Sodium disorders are one of the most important electrolyte disturbances in children admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of electrolyte disturbances and the associated factors in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients. Methods: All patients hospitalized in PICU of Ali Ebne Abi Talib Hospital during a year since October 2015 considered for the study. Electrolyte disturbances involving; sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium were identified in PICU. Statistical tests were determined at 5% error level. Results: The prevalence of sodium, calcium and magnesium abnormalities was not significantly different in gender of patients (P > 0.05), but, the prevalence of hypokalemia (9.5% versus 1.7%) and hyperkalemia (37.8% vs. 31.3%) were higher in girls compared with boys. (P = 0.021). The rate of hyponatremia (29.3% vs. 13.1%) and hypernatremia (18.3% vs. 15.9%) in children who had died were significantly higher than in alive children. (P = 0.013). The prevalence of all electrolyte disorders was not significantly different from those of diuretics consumption (P > 0.05). Hyperkalemia though (41% versus 27.3%) was significantly higher in children with diuretic use than in other children. (P = 0.022). The frequency of electrolytes abnormalities in children was not significantly different between diseases (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The study concluded that the frequency of electrolytes was significantly different in deceased children compared to alive children. However, hyperkalemia was significantly higher in children with diuretic use than in other children. Therefore, it is much necessary to measure these electrolytes in course of hospitalization.


Abstract We construct two non-isomorphic nuclear, stably finite, real rank zero ${{C}^{*}}$ -algebras $E$ and ${{E}^{'}}$ for which there is an isomorphism of ordered groups $\Theta :{{\oplus }_{n\ge 0}}{{K}_{\bullet }}(E;\mathbb{Z}/n)\to {{\oplus }_{n\ge 0}}{{K}_{\bullet }}({E}';\mathbb{Z}/n)$ which is compatible with all the coefficient transformations. The ${{C}^{*}}$ -algebras $E$ and ${{E}^{'}}$ are not isomorphic since there is no $\Theta$ as above which is also compatible with the Bockstein operations. By tensoring with Cuntz's algebra ${{\mathcal{O}}_{\infty }}$ one obtains a pair of non-isomorphic, real rank zero, purely infinite ${{C}^{*}}$ -algebras with similar properties.


8.1 Introduction: Seaweeds and microalgae have a long history of cultivation as sources of commercial products (McHugh 2003; Pulz and Gross 2004). They also have been the subject of extensive investigations related to their potential as fuel source since the 1970s (Chynoweth 2002). As energy costs rise, these photosynthetic organisms are again a focus of interest as potential sources of biofuels, particularly liquid transportation fuels. There have been many recent private sector investments to develop biofuels from microalgae, in part building on a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program from 1976 to 1996 which focused on microalgal oil production (Sheehan et al. 1998). Seaweed cultivation has received relatively little attention as a biofuel source in the US, but was the subject of a major research effort by the DOE from 1978 to 1983 (Bird and Benson 1987), and is now the focus of significant interest in Japan, Europe and Korea...


Water conflicts have mostly been studied by focusing on case studies or by comparing conflicts sharing a common issue (like privatization of water services, mining contamination or management of water services). This article takes a different standpoint by at once considering water as a unique and multidimensional object of conflict. Its first main contribution is to present an overview of open social conflicts related to (any dimension of) water that took place in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru between January 2000 and December 2011. This overview is useful to put in perspective in-depth studies of specific conflicts and the rise of "water crises" in the 2010s. Second, the article contributes to the understanding of how and why the actors mobilizing and the dimensions of water under conflict vary overtime and between countries. The empirical analysis builds on a systematic double review of the chronologies of social conflicts published by the Observatorio Social de America Latina of the Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO).

The winter of 1811 figures prominently in canonical accounts of Romantic theater. The dispute over the infiltration of hippodrama into Covent Garden Theatre is central both to Jane Moody's argument about the triumph of illegitimacy and to Jeffrey Cox's and Michael Gamer's influential Broadview Anthology of Romantic Drama: their careful presentation of Blue Beard, Timour the Tartar, and The Quadrapeds of Quedlinhurgh has enabled thorough discussion of the cultural debates surrounding the suffusion of illegitimate genres in the patent houses. (1) I am returning to this archive with different historical objectives and questions. In her recent book Cruel Optimism, Lauren Berlant asks a crucial question for cultural analysis: "How can it be said that aesthetically mediated affective responses exemplify a shared historical sense?" (2) If we transpose Berlant's question to the theater it suggests that the affect instantiated by performance enacts historical knowledge. Rather than consigning emotional reaction and investment to a negligible zone of inchoate individual response, Berlant's question asks us to think about how "Affect's saturation of form can communicate the conditions under which a historical moment appears as a visceral moment, assessing the way a thing that is happening finds its genre." (3) Everything we know about the late Georgian playhouse points towards precisely this affective saturation of form. The emotion activated by Siddons, the emergence of melodrama, the complex elaboration of pantomime, the cult of Kean: all of these phenomena are integrally tied to heightened affective bonds between audience, player, and theatrical technology. Furthermore the theater of Romanticism is a wartime theater whose extraordinary level of generic experimentation both in and out of the patent houses constitutes a response to the overwhelming social crises of war and social unrest. (4) Significantly, the history of how these crises were aesthetically mediated in performance was bifurcated by radical transformations in theatrical space. Just as performance venues proliferated beyond Westminster, the vast expansion of Co vent Garden Theatre resulted in a crisis of its very own--i.e., the Old Price Riots--and suddenly changed not only what kind of emotional transactions were viable in the theater, but also what form historical consciousness would take. (5) The OP riots can be understood as the sign of a complex modulation from one kind of affective economy to another. The close proximity that had previously enabled intimate affective bonds between player and audience was a thing of the past and thus the process of collectively engaging with historical crisis required generic innovation. The emergence of melodrama and new forms of spectacle more suited to the expanded space of Covent Garden engaged emotion in substantively different ways than the performance of interpersonal ties so crucial to five-act comedy and tragedy. As we will see, this new form of affective engagement supplemented or even bypassed the representation of social relations to target the bodily, visceral lives of the audience. The turmoil surrounding the staging of hippodrama in Covent Garden can be traced to this fundamental shift in the space of performance. As Moody argues, the decision to stage an equestrian Blue Beard arose from a need to offset lost revenues following the success of the OP riots, and Blue Beard netted over, 21,000 [pounds sterling] in 41 nights. Horses dominated Covent Garden's program from the opening of Blue Beard on 18 February 1811 through the even more inflammatory hippodramatic production of Timour the Tartar that opened on 29 April 1811. As Moody states, these productions "came to symbolize the decadent triumph of theatrical illegitimacy." (6) The Morning Chronicle demanded that Blue Beard "be transferred to its proper sphere, which is Astley's Amphitheatre." (7) But this assumes that there was something appropriate to the newly expanded sphere of Covent Garden. …

Abstract
Background: Obesity increases the incidence of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and cancer. Oxidative stress has been considered one of the mechanisms linking obesity to these pathologies. Our aim was to evaluate the oxidative stress status in obese Adults
Methods: Our study focused on a sample of 187 healthy volunteers in the city of Constantine, divided according to their BMI into three groups: group A (BMI <25, normal nutritional status), group B (25 ≤ BMI <30, overweight) and group C (BMI ≥ 30, obesity). The status of oxidative stress was evaluated by determining the activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidas (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), plasma concentrations of antioxidant vitamins (E,A) and lipid peroxidation marker , the malondialdehyde (MDA).
Results: Vitamin E / Lipids ratio and vitamin A plasma concentration were significantly lower in obese subjects compared with those having normal BMI: 3.40 ± 1.16 mg / g vs 3.87 ± 1.16 mg / g; p <0.05 and 0.63 (0.46-0.76) mg/l vs 0.69 (0.57-0.86) mg/l, p <0.05 respectively. MDA plasma concentrations were significantly higher in obese versus overweight subjects and those having normal BMI: 11.4 (7.1 to 14.6) mg/l vs 8.6 (5.9 to 11.6) g/l, p <0.01 and 11.4 (7.1 to 14.6) mg/l vs 8.4 (5.9 to 12.3) mg/l, p <0.05 respectively. There was no significant difference between the MDA plasma concentration of overweight subjects and those having normal BMI. Erythrocyte SOD and Gpx activities of different classes of BMI were comparable. MDA was positively and significantly correlated with BMI (r = 0.149, p <0.05). Conclusion: The decrease in antioxidant defenses and increased lipid peroxidation in obese subjects reflect a profound oxidative stress, which would be one of the mechanisms involved in the onset of diseases caused by the obesity.


Current guidelines for antiplatelet therapy in neurology. Stroke is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Etiology of ischemic stroke is atherothrombotic in almost 70%, emboligenic in about 30%, other etiologies represent about 1–2%. European Stroke Organisation Guidelines for the prevention of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack from the year 2008 are currently valid. According to these guidelines, antithrombotic therapy, comprising antiplatelet and anti coagulation therapy, is indicated in the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke. Only ace tylsalicylic acid (ASA) is being used in antiplatelet therapy in the primary prevention of atherothrom botic stroke. This is being used in the primary prevention of ischemic stroke also in younger patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and free of vascular risk factors. Antiplatelet therapy is being used in the secondary prevention of atherothrobotic ischemic stroke with combination of ASA with extended release dipyridamole or clopidogrel alone representing the therapy of choice and, with combination of clopidogrel with ASA being used in exceptional cases.

The transition from real-life categories (geographical surroundings, everyday life, social practice, cultural behavior) to esthetic categories (the historico-literary process, the structure of an artistic text) has always been a stumbling stone for scholars. Today most of them concur that art does not reflect life but rather creates a model for it using other "modeling systems," such as natural language, melodic harmony, a graphic or color palette, mimicry, gestures, and so on. In so doing, art develops according to its own principles, which cannot be reduced to the laws of social life, and far from all works of art aim to reproduce reality. Is it possible to say then that there are, for example, urbanist writers who do not simply describe or glorify the city, but are urban in spirit, by the very character of their work that expresses itself in the peculiarities of their style? Can one assert that in Innokentii Annenskii's or Anna Akhmatova's poetry we are dealing with a manifestation of the St. Petersburg restraint


In underwater wireless optical communication links, the suspended particles in the water can lead to multiple path transmission of the light, causing the temporal dispersion and attenuation of beam pulse. The scattering phase function is a key parameter to model angle scattering in the Monte Carlo simulation and can be approximated by the commonly used Henyey-Greenstein (HG) phase function, but in turbid sea water environment, the HG phase function cannot match well with the measured value of the particle phase function. In this work, instead of using the HG phase function, we make use of the Petzold's measured data value of the scattering phase function in turbid sea water. We propose a numerical solution for the computing of the scattering angle based on the measured particle phase function and present the difference of effect on temporal dispersion between the measurement and HG phase function. Numerical results show that our model is more accurate than the widely used HG model. An analytic double Gamma function is used to fit the Monte Carlo simulation results, and a good fit is found between the double Gamma function and the Monte Carlo simulations.


Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) is a field of Robotic that develops robots to act as a team, with coordination, performing task collaboratively. These systems are used to deal with complex tasks, in which time and space are restricted. To achieve the correct operation of the MRS the communication skills is a fundamental point to be investigated. This paper presents an Architecture of communication based on cloud computing technology for a MRS composed by CellBots.


Continuum Random Phase Approximation (CRPA) for relativistic point coupling models with density dependent coupling constants is applied to investigate collective excitations in spherical nuclei. In particular we study the impact of the exact continuum on the Giant Dipole Resonance of several Tin isotopes as well as the nuclear (γ,n) reaction rates which are important in astrophysical calculations.


A study was carried out to evaluate the chemical composition and nutritive qualities of
four indigenous multipurpose tree species (MPTS) namely Moringa olei/era, Gmelina
arborea, Albizia sam an and Pterocarpus santalinoides. The main objective of the study
was to assess potential of the MPTS in feeding ruminant animals during the dry season
when forage is generally scarce and its quality cannot sustain the animals. The leaf
samples were randomly collected from the trees in January to April of 2007 to represent
early dry and late dry season respectively. The leaves were analyzed to estimate the
nutrient composition and in vitro gas production of the MPTS. The leaf samples were
incubated with rumen-buffered solution and gas production estimated over 0, 6, 12, 18,
24,48, 72 and 96 hours. The dry matter DM and ether extract (EE) contents of the MPTS
were significantly (p 0.05). The lowest fractional rate of gas production was recorded for Gmelina arborea
(0.0454) during the late dry season while M oleifera recorded the highest rate of 0.1183
(p>0.05) during early season potential gas production by the leaves ranged from 5.43 to
4.36ml/200mg DM (p<0.05) lor G. arborea and M. oleifera respectively. The in vitro gas
production and the fermentation parameters indicated. The presence of potential
degradable nutrients in the MPTS which underscore the importance of these tree species
sources of nutrient for ruminant animals.

This was made possible not only by the zeal and prudent wisdom of the missionaries, but also because the missionary enterprise fitted in with the purposes of British imperial policy in the region at this particular time. The United Brethren saw their venture as an attempt to convert o Christianity the heathen Eskimo tribes; the British government saw in the venture a means of converting into loyal British subiects the savage natives of the Labrador coast, in order that they might be an asset rather than a hindrance to trade and the fishery there. Both purposes were in large part achieved. Before 1763, little was known about the size of the Eskimo population of the Labrador, or about the location of the chief areas of settlement. The Moravian missionaries timated the Eskimo population at about 3,000 when they began their work in the 1760's? The Eskimoes believed in various pagan deities, the chief of whom was Torngak, who dwelt in the waters and ruled over the whales and seals. "Angekoks" or "sorcerers" were both priests and secular chiefs. The Eskimo were essentially a nomadic people, living on islands along the co.ast in the winter, then migrating to the fishing places or hunting in the interior in the summer. The desire of the Eskimoes for European boats, weapons, and implements induced many to. undertake summer t ading expeditions to the European establishments in the south, expeditions which often ended in conflict with the whites.


This study aimed to present a proposed vision for the development of the environmental education process in the Arab Republic of Egypt. Within the context of this goal, the study sought to firm environmental education in the light of contemporary educational thought, and to find out the experiences of Sweden, Finland and Egypt in the fields of environmental education and the educational system and its role in presenting the experiences and related activities of it, in addition to knowing the reality of environmental education in the Arab Republic of Egypt and the extent of the difference between it and the two countries of comparison, as well as identifying the factors that impede the implementation of the environmental education process in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The study followed the comparative approach in light of the nature of the problem, its limits and its objectives, through the application of practical procedures that included the application of a comparative explanatory study for the reality of environmental education in Sweden, Egypt and Finland based on the comparative approach to research in specific theoretical axes through a comparative analysis to describe the status of environmental education through research, theoretical studies, references, and various books to find out the similarities and differences of environmental education systems in the comparison countries. The study found the following results, the most important of which are: In general, Environmental Education is not taught in the three comparison countries as an independent subject - but it is integrated through various subjects in the curricula of social studies, science, biology and the other subjects. In Sweden and Finland, teachers are allowed to choose school environmental activities and their implementation method, as well as supervising subjects related to Environmental education in the educational process. There are also what is called the environmental schools or green schools in Finland and Sweden, as well as environmental teachers and green flag. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Environment are responsible for environmental education in the three countries. In general, Environmental Education in the third countries is provided through the subjects of biology and geography in secondary schools and through social studies and science in primary schools. There are also class and non-class activities that are used effectively in presenting environmental education in Swedish and Finnish schools. In view of reviewing the theoretical framework of the research, and according to the experiences of the two countries of comparison (Finland & Sweden) and according to the study findings related to the reality of environmental education in Egypt, a proposed conception was formulated for the development of the environmental education process in Egyptian schools. The most important recommendations made by researchers include: Providing training courses for the educational system in the field of environmental education. Providing environmental activities in which schools from different places participate, including field visits, nature exploration trips and exhibitions. Calling on the Ministries of Environment and Education to provide greater support for the process of environmental education in Egyptian schools.


Design,development and performance parameter of the central electric appliance control box on bus ANKAI HFF6802 series is introduced here.The correlation diagram of the box is drawn based on the circuit schematic diagram of the bus.


We examined the correlates of self-reported lifetime use of alcohol, marijuana, amphetamines, and cocaine within a sample of almost 7,000 high school sophomores in Arizona and Utah. Correlates of drug use (including parental attachment, religious attachment, educational attachment, conventional values, and drug-using friends) showed very similar patterns by gender, with some interesting differences by location. Drug-using friends are by far the best predictor of drug use for both males and females in Arizona and Utah.

Could sandstone waste from phosphate ore mining in Egypt's Western Desert be an effective and economic additive to ordinary Portland cement? The question led to experiments from which it appears that a 15 per cent addition of the gluconitic sandstone involved has little effect on compressive strength.


The formulation of Finland's military doctrine in the post-Second World War era has been related to the more general problem of Finnish foreign policy of this period, namely, how to maintain good relations without being sucked into an uncomfortably close orbit with the Soviet Union. While the military instruments of security policy have been markedly secondary to political instruments, Finland has tried to use its limited resources to create an image of credible national defence capability. This line of policy is still being followed, although the fundamentals of Finland's security environment have drastically changed — and are further going to change as a result of a deepening of European integration in the security and foreign policy spheres. Finland has consistently spent approximately 1.5% of GDP in military expenditures. The niveau has been an outcome of domestic bargaining, but at the political level there has been consensus about it. In the post-Cold War period this consensus is facing difficulties. Pressures to reduce military expenditures are increasing, although no major disarmament dividends are to be expected.


There are normal sequences of growth in immediate ends. One natural sequence of immediate ends follows the sequence: (1) Description, (2) Significance statements, (3) Estimation, (4) Confidence statement, (5) Evaluation. . . . There are, of course, other normal sequences of immediate ends, leading mainly through various decision procedures, which are appropriate to development research and to operations research, just as the sequence we have just discussed is appropriate to basic research.25


S exually transmitted diseases are a global health issue that needs to be considered by health authorities to ensure blood safety. Blood safety is increased by optimizing blood donor screenings strategies before donation and applying the latest tests to identify diseases after donation. Importantly, predonation screening strategies help to identify potential risks related to window-period infections. A current EU project called TRANSPOSE (Transfusion and Transplantation: Protection and Selection of Donors; transposeproject.eu) studies European blood donor selection and donor protection policies and shows different screening strategies in use across Europe. The project aims to improve guiding principles and to provide guidelines for a standardized donor health questionnaire. The first descriptive findings from TRANSPOSE, reported in Amsterdam in 2019, indicated that some questions in a donor health questionnaire may be subject to social desirability biases, a type of bias in which a respondent tends to answer questions in a way that will be viewed favorably by others. Social desirability bias is especially problematic with screening questions about men having sex with men (MSM). Generally, social desirability biases as well as a lack of understanding of the meaning of questions in the donor health questionnaire is a substantial threat to the validity of the screening procedure. This threat is likely to be higher in societies with low levels of sex education and where donors may fear discrimination when answering the questions truthfully. Perceived social norms with respect to sexual behavior and, as a result, sexually transmitted diseases are a substantial barrier to ensure blood safety. In this issue of TRANSFUSION, the article by Zeng et al. finds substantive support that high-risk sexual behavior correlates with HIV infection among Chinese blood donors. The China Statistical Yearbook 2018 reports a disease incidence (1/100,000) of 4.15 for AIDS (ranked seventh) in China. Zeng et al. argue that despite the updated screening strategies by the Chinese authorities (including both serologic and nucleic acid test screening), the risk of HIV transmission by transfusion still persists. Additionally, Zheng reports that the Chinese political leadership substantially strengthened HIV prevention and treatment. However, the author also reports that the HIV incidence has increased to 4.15 in 2018 from a level of 0.23 in 2004, and that 92% of the new HIV diagnoses resulted from sexual transmission. The main reason for the increase in HIV transmission is attributed to MSM. Both Zeng et al. and Zheng argue that young Chinese have a substantial lack of HIV/AIDS knowledge and that safe sex practice education is underdeveloped. Specifically, Chinese from remote and undeveloped regions often fear social stigmatization and discrimination against homosexuals, despite the fact that homosexuality was decriminalized in 1997. In many developing countries, the authorities need to improve sexual education and reduce discrimination of MSM to reduce the HIV incidence and to increase blood safety. The more likely a society is to disagree with certain sexual behaviors, the less likely men will report MSM behavior in predonation screening procedures because they might fear legal or social consequences. We have observed a major research gap with respect to the validity of donor health questions related to MSM. As the social acceptance of MSM varies across countries and societies, we need new studies that address both the level of MSM and the causal impact of MSM on HIV. The susceptibility to social desirability bias may vary not only between individuals (e.g., different perceptions about social norms) but also within individuals (e.g., perceived sensitivity of different items). Furthermore, the social desirability bias may also stem from intrinsic motivations if MSM is personal to potential donors. Specifically, respondents may provide dishonest answers to prevent threats to their self-esteem or image and to maintain a positive self-concept toward both themselves and others. Thus, although donors typically value honesty and attempt to comply with their internal standards for it, they may underreport MSM within a certain range without negatively affecting their self-concept. Several methods to mitigate social desirability bias have been proposed in the literature. The most popular approaches involve using social desirability scales and the randomized response technique. Social desirability scales are often used as covariates in models, with the aim of purifying the measurement of the personality trait of interest (e.g.,MSM)by removing the variance that is associatedwith social desirability rather than the personality trait. However, these scales only represent a post hoc procedure to control for social desirability after data collection. Controlling for social desirability is particularly challenging when analyzing multidimensional constructs that are measured via multiple groups of items with varying degrees of sensitivity. We suggest that researchers can address this challenge using a combination of a randomized response approach for data collection and a multiscale item response theory model for data analysis. The basic idea of the randomized response approach is to provide confidentiality to donors by randomizing each response before it is observed doi:10.1111/trf.15687 © 2020 AABB TRANSFUSION 2020;60;225–226


Roentgen visualization of the parotid gland and its duct, free from overlying bony shadows, is, ordinarily, a difficult technical procedure. Since the majority of such examinations are done for the detection of stones, the presence of overlying bony shadows is a distinct handicap and conducive to diagnostic errors. If the jaws, especially the upper, are edentulous, less trouble is encountered, since it usually is the shadow of the upper teeth which interferes in lateral or oblique views. The majority of calculi are found in the ducts of the salivary glands rather than in the substance of the glands themselves. The method to be described allows clear visualization of Stensen's duct without any confusing bony or tooth shadows. The gross anatomic features of the parotid gland and its duct are shown in Figure 1, taken from Sobotta and McMurrich's Atlas. On the surface, the course of the duct corresponds to the middle third of a line drawn from the lower edge of the external auditory meatus to a point halfway ...


THREE views on the temporal relation of cause and effect appear possible, though four have been suggested. The fourth view, that cause and effect are ' contiguous in time ' seems to reduce to the limiting case of antecedence, but for die sake of completeness I have included the fourth supposition. The four proposed views are, dierefore : I Cause and effect are contiguous in time. II Cause is antecedent to effect, in Causes are at least partly contemporaneous with their effects : that is, a cause begins before its effect, but continues during at least part of the time occupied by the effect, FV Cause and effect are coterminous in tune.


In order to analyze the motions of human or animal bodies, at least one motion sensor, particularly an acceleration sensor, that produces an electrical measurement signal is fixed to a body. The measurement signals are analyzed in an evaluation device, particularly by comparing measurement signals with temporally separate motions of the same type.


The article seeks to confront the analyzes carried out by the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) and by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) on the Itaú/XP merger, within the scope of their respective competition powers. The corporate operation that was maintained under the "double" approval system had very peculiar characteristics and involved the influence of XP's innovative performance as an open investment platform. Based on this case, which serves as a paradigm in relation to the competitive analyzes carried out by the BCB and CADE on open platforms, it is proposed to investigate what are the legal challenges that the transformation of market structures in the financial system around digital platforms may bring about the exercise of antitrust and regulatory powers, mainly due to the new Bank as a Platform (BaaP) business models facilitated by the implementation of open finance and the operation of digital platforms that can be licensed as a Payment Initiation Service Provider.


Biocatalytic process-development continues to advance toward discovering alternative transformation reactions to synthesize fine chemicals. Here, a 5-methylidene-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one (MIO)-dependent phenylalanine aminomutase from Taxus canadensis (TcPAM) was repurposed to irreversibly biocatalyze an intermolecular amine transfer reaction that converted ring-substituted trans-cinnamate epoxide racemates to their corresponding arylserines. From among 12 substrates, the aminomutase ring-opened 3′-Cl-cinnamate epoxide to 3′-Cl-phenylserine 140 times faster than it opened the 4′-Cl-isomer, which was turned over slowest among all epoxides tested. GC/MS analysis of chiral auxiliary derivatives of the biocatalyzed phenylserine analogues showed that the TcPAM-transamination reaction opened the epoxides enantio- and diastereoselectively. Each product mixture contained (2S)+(2R)-anti (erythro) and (2S)+(2R)-syn (threo) pairs with the anti-isomers predominating (∼90:10 dr). Integrating the vicinal proton sig...
