Consider two stories: * An inexperienced young development engineer ponders the data he has taken to prove the structural integrity of a key part in a new product. His supervisor has cautioned him that the user's safety will depend on the behavior of this part. The supervisor has also emphasized that it is extremely important that the tests be completed on schedule in order to meet the product introduction date. Unfortunately, the test data do not provide the young engineer with a clear-cut answer. He mulls several options: Repeat the tests and delay the schedule; pass the part, assuming the designers built in some extra margin of safety; "adjust" the data so that the part clearly passes. "None of my college engineering courses really prepared me to make a decision like this, particularly when user safety is so clearly involved," he mutters. * A female college student is working during summer vacation in the procurement department of a major corporation. Her supervisor requests that she telephone the procurement department of several competitors and ask where they procure a critical component and what they have to pay for it. To elicit this information, she is told to say she is a business student working on a project for her M.B.A. degree. Reluctantly, the student complies. She needs the income from the job to finance her next year in college and is fearful she will be discharged if she doesn't follow the supervisor's orders. These two hypothetical--but not unrealistic--examples illustrate students who have received inadequate instruction in ethics and the making of ethical decisions as a part of their technical curriculum. Many universities offer elective courses on ethics in science and engineering, but only a few require them for undergraduate or graduate technical degrees. Consequently, most engineering and science students have had little opportunity to think about the meaning of ethics in terms of the decisions they must be prepared to make as professionals. Asked about the meaning of "ethical," students give such answers as: "What my feelings tell me is right"; "what is in accord with my religious beliefs"; "what conforms to The Golden Rule'"; "what does the most good for the most people"; "what is customary behavior in our society"; "what corresponds to my self-interest"; "what is legal"; "what my conscience tells me is right"; "trustworthy"; "taking responsibility for my actions"; "it depends on the situation." Student behavior in the classroom reveals considerable ignorance or disregard for ethical principles. Donald McCabe, a professor of business ethics at Rutgers, polled over 15,000 students at 31 universities about cheating on tests. Business and engineering majors "led" this poll, with over 70 percent saying they had cheated at least once, and over 10 percent saying they cheated regularly (1). National press coverage of catastrophes such as the Ford Pinto gas tank accidents, the Kansas City Hyatt-Regency Hotel walkway collapse, the Challenger shuttle O-ring failure, the Chernobyl nuclear plant catastrophe, Three Mile Island, and the Exxon Valdez incident has focused public attention as never before on the professional and ethical responsibilities of engineers and scientists. Although these highly publicized disasters may be due to poor engineering judgment or practice, the possibility of unethical or inappropriate decision making is also present. As recently as 1967, polls showed Americans had a great deal of confidence in most institutions and professions. This confidence has since dropped significantly. In 1991, doctors and engineers led a Gallup poll asking if people in certain fields had high standards of honesty and ethics; however, the doctors scored only 54 percent and 33 engineers 45 percent! College professors also scored 45 percent and business executives came in at 21 percent (2). National media coverage and intensifying public worry about professional ethics have occasioned concern about the need to put ethical issues into the engineering curriculum. …

The development of certified organic agriculture in Africa has been partly impeded by limited sound science-based information to tackle multifarious challenges facing the subsector along the value chains. Robust and well-articulated research strategies are key to driving this desired development. Therefore, a case study was carried out to appraise the science track of the last four African Organic Conferences (AOCs) with a view to identifying the direction of research activities in the continent across the regions and suggest areas presently being overlooked. Out of the 251 research papers evaluated, the majority were dealing with agronomy (41.4%) and socioeconomic (16.3%) aspects during the four editions of AOC. Research areas largely overlooked include organic aquaculture, policy issues, standards and certification, cross-disciplinary and participatory research methods, health and safety of organic products and research methodology. Papers presented at the AOCs were spread across the regions and outside Africa as follows: West (48.6%), East (28.2%), Southern (7.1%), North (<1%), Central (<1%) and outside the continent (14.3%). The paper also discusses strategies that can be adopted in moving organic agriculture research forward in the continent.

In this article the author revisits the vexed question of whether the jurisdiction of an international tribunal, established in accordance with the terms of the basic treaty, can be expanded by reference to the terms of a third treaty through the investor's reliance upon the MFN clause in the basic treaty. The recent line of cases suggesting that no general answer to that question can be provided in view of the nuanced differences in the wording of MFN clauses is considered and criticized as failing to pay adequate attention to the principles of general international law as mandated by Article 31(3)(c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The application of those principles leads to a negative answer to the question. A claim for MFN treatment secures the treatment represented by the third treaty, it does not effect the automatic incorporation of the terms of the third treaty into the basic treaty before the investor files its claim. Moreover, for the investor to assert a claim for MFN treatment it must first accept the standing offer of international arbitration in accordance with the terms of the basic treaty and at that point an arbitration agreement comes into existence. The terms of that agreement cannot be amended retroactively at the suit of one of the parties. There is a fundamental distinction in general international law between the substantive obligations in a treaty, which are addressed to the state parties, and the provisions that create a jurisdictional mandate for an international tribunal, which are addressed to the tribunal and to the disputing parties, who enter into a relationship of procedural equality once arbitration proceedings have been commenced. This distinction must be respected by investment treaty tribunals in confronting the question of the scope of MFN clauses.

JAVMA Vol 232, No. 7 I News April 1, 2008 Following Hurricane Katrina, the AVMA Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams managed to treat thousands of animals, despite the lapse of a formal agreement between the AVMA and the federal government regarding disaster response. In mid-February, the AVMA signed a new memorandum of understanding with the Department of Health and Human Services to help clarify the roles of each entity in providing veterinary services during disasters and other emergencies. The memorandum sets the stage for ongoing coordination between the AVMA and the HHS. "The AVMA is pleased to have reached this agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services highlighting both parties' strong interests in continued communication and collaboration in the delivery of veterinary services during emergencies, " said Dr. Heather Case, AVMA coordinator for emergency preparedness and response, who oversees the Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams. The memorandum also distinguishes the VMATs from the federal government's newer National Veterinary Response Team, which has evolved from the longstanding AVMA program.


The experiment on the screening of the 12 sweet potato germplasm was carried out at the vegetable farm of the Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad during 1996-97. None of the germplasms of sweet potato was found resistant to C formicarius. The germplasms 79-0P-217, Kalmegh and X-69 were moderately tolerant while X-25, Cross-4 and 76-0P-21 were susceptible and the rest six germplasm S-30, C-71, H-85-168, V-35, H-82-2 alongwith local were highly susceptible as per standard of 0-30 per cent tuber damage. The germplasm V-35 had maximum weight loss as compared to 79-0P-217. A positive relationship was also observed with leaf, vine and tuber damage percentage.


encounter very little formal microbiology in their lives. They will, however, be exposed to many facets of day-to-biosciences as part of their lives. This may include contact with microbiology as part of their jobs, but more likely the use of "common" theory and practice and biological technic in industry-knowledge when considering issues such as substance compatibility, use of medication, personal safety and environmental responsibility. I feel that it is the responsibility of chemistry teachers at the freshmen and sophomore levels to equip students with such "common sense".


Results were analysed for ECF bleaching of sweet bamboo oxygen delignified kraft pulp through the sequences of D1ED2, CuD1ED2, D1EPD2, D1EOD2 and DQP. The value of brightness, viscosity and BOD5 was lower replacing chlorine dioxide with hydrogen peroxide. Improvement of bleaching efficiecy and BOD reducement was obtained when adding hydrogen peroxide or oxygen to alkali treatment, and that of GIF biomimetic pretreatment was much more efficient.


In the Czech Republic an important company exists with a closed metallurgical cycle. Similarly as any other big company it generates secondary waste from metallurgical processes. Considerable amount of scale and scale sludge is created at steelmaking, continuous casting and rolling, it represents in total some 3-4 wt.% of produced rolled products. Part of these scales and scale sludge, approx. 20%, is contaminated with oil, which is used mainly for gearboxes in rolling mills and for lubrication of other machinery. Cleaned scales are fine grained and they can be a suitable alternative for preparation of pigment. Pigments are used for preparation of engobes, glazes and other materials for application of colours. This paper is focused on possibilities of utilisation of scales in the form of pigment for preparation of glazes. Since this is a new research project, the primary step was to determine the basic physical and chemical properties of the scale: grain size analysis, chemical composition, X‑ray phase analysis and spectro-photometric colour measurement of colour scheme. The next step concerned proposal of ratio of the input components for the prepared mixtures for preparation of ceramic glazes sprayed on potsherd. In total, 14 types of mixed glazes were prepared and two mixtures with chemical treatment. The input material consisted of untreated modified scales and of transparent glaze P017. Scales were in the first stage of preparation annealed at 700°C and 900 °C, and in the second stage they were chemically modified by H 2 SO 4 . Prepared mixtures of the series I were applied on the potsherds and subsequently fired at 1060°C. Only X‑ray analysis was made for the mixture of series II. From the resulting colour scheme of mixtures are decisive factors chemical and phase composition and methods of treatment for the scales specific applications.


The condition of the Yangtze river has been of life-threatening importance this year, as it has been the source of massive flooding. The Three Gorges dam project is intended, among other things, to reduce the danger from flooding. Rushu Wang offers an update on the project.


This study was aimed to screen bacteria of high alginate-degrading activity, to select the nitrogen source and concentration of NaCl and sodium alginate for the production of alginate-degrading enzyme, and to determine reaction conditions of enzyme. A novel alginate-degrading bacterium was isolated from abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) and named Methylobacterium sp. HJM27 by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The optimum culture conditions for the production of alginate-degrading enzyme were 1.0% sodium alginate, 0.5% peptone, 0.3% yeast extract, 1.5% NaCl, and 48 hours incubation time. The raw enzyme showed the highest activity at and pH 9, and produced 1.217 g - reducing sugar per liter in 0.8% (w/v) sodium alginate for 30 minutes. Methylobacterium sp. HJM27 and its alginate-degrading enzyme would be useful for the production of bioenergy and biofunctional oligosaccharides from seaweed.


Abstract. In a 1737 paper, Euler gave the first proof that the sum of the reciprocals of the prime numbers diverges. That paper can be considered as the founding document of analytic number theory, and its key innovation — socalled Euler products — are now ubiquitous in the field. In this note, we probe Euler's claim there that "the sum of the reciprocals of the prime numbers" is "as the logarithm" of the sum of the harmonic series. Euler's argument for this assertion falls far short of modern standards of rigor. Here we show how to arrange his ideas to prove the more precise claim that X


Amorphous diamond film (a-D) were prepared by deposition from magnetic filtered ions sputtering from graphite. The optical absorption spectra of a-D film deposited in diffrent substrate bias voltage condition were investigated. Thickness and refractive index of film were ellipsometrically measured. It is found that absorption of samples mainly results from a state, Optical band gap is 3.1 -3.4eV and the a-Dfilm with high SP3 fraction can be grown when the bias voltage range from-50V to-20V.


The variability of Gamma-ray Burst is a quantitative measure of whether its light curve is spiky or smooth.From the detected spectroscopic redshift,peak fluxes,and high-resolution light curves of long Gamma-ray Burst,it was found that the isotropic peak luminosity positively correlate with the variability of light curves:the more variable bursts(with larger V) tend to have higher intrinsic isotropic luminosities L.This correlation was originally found by Reichart et al.using a sample of 18 Gamma-ray Bursts.In this paper,the definition and algorithm of variability are detailedly investigated and analyzed.The V-L correlation and fitting results are also listed.If L-V relation can be confirmed,it can be adopted as rough distance indicators and redshift estimators of a Gamma-ray Burst from parameters measured merely at gamma-ray prompt emission and it can be used to constrain cosmological parameters.


Heat transfer, heat pipe, and system studies were performed to assess the newly proposed heat pipe radiation cooling (HPRC) concept. With an HPRC system, heat is removed from the ramburner and nozzle of a hypersonic aircraft engine by a surrounding, high-temperature, heat pipe nacelle structure, transported to nearby external surfaces, and rejected to the environment by thermal radiation. With HPRC, the Mach number range available for using hydrocarbon fuels for aircraft operation extends into the Mach 4 to Mach 6 range, up from the current limit of about Mach 4. Heat transfer studies using a newly developed HPRC computer code determine cooling system and ramburner and nozzle temperatures, heat loads, and weights for a representative combined-cycle engine cruising at Mach 5 at 80,000 ft altitude. Heat pipe heat transport calculations, using the Los Alamos code HTPIPE, reveal that adequate heat trasport capability is available using molybdenum-lithium heat pipe technology. Results show that the HPRC system radiator area is limited in size to the ramburner-nozzle region of the engine nacelle; reasonable system weights are expected; hot section temperatures are consistent with advanced structural materials development goals; and system impact on engine performance is minimal.


Tactile perception is processed in the somatosensory cortices of the brain. To study the electrical activity of the brain evoked by the tactile perceptions of fabric textures, electroencephalograph signals during tactile perception were evaluated using event-related potentials and recurrence quantification analysis methods. A support vector machine was used to realize the identification of electroencephalograph signals. The results showed that fabric surface with large surface roughness, critical buckling force, and fiber diameter, and low warp-weft density was preferentially perceived, need large attentional resources, and evoke strong nonstationary state of the electroencephalographic system during the tactile perception. The δ rhythm was the main rhythm of event-related potential signals evoked by tactile perception of fabrics and the main energy of the electroencephalograph rhythm was concentrated in the low frequency band. The electroencephalographic system was in a strong nonstationary and fluctuating state during the production stage of P200 and P300 components of the event-related potential wave. The combination of P200, P300, mean diagonal line length L, and trapping time TT can significantly improve the classification accuracy of the electroencephalograph signal of tactile perception to about 72%.

Given a set of terminals on the plane N=(s,/spl nu//sub 1/,...,/spl nu//sub n/,), with a sink terminal s, a Rectilinear Distance-Preserving Tree (RDPT) T(V, E) is defined as a tree rooted at s, connecting all terminals in N. The rectilinear distance between source and sinks in an RDPT is equal to the length that source to sink path. A Min-Cost Rectilinear Distance Preserving Tree (MRDPT) is an RDPT T* such that all other RDPTs T' connecting s and N have C(T*)/spl les/C(T'), where C(T) denotes the total length of tree T. MRDPTs minimize the total wire length while maintaining minimal source to sink linear delay, making them suitable for high performance interconnect applications. In this paper we investigate exact algorithms for restricted versions of the problem. These algorithms have O(n/sup 2/) time complexity. We propose a heuristic algorithm for the general problem where we partition the points into sets of points that we can solve optimally. The results of our algorithms are tested on random point sets and compared our results are compared with Minimum Cost Steiner tree approximations, showing total wire-length comparisons. The results of these comparisons show that the algorithms proposed herein produce promising results.


Bearing is the most vulnerable key part in rotating machine and bears important influence on the safety of equipment. Weakness and complexity are the two features of fault characteristic information carried by signals in the early stage of fault. For that, a fault is difficult to be recognized correctly. To identify a compound failure of bearing, the paper has brought forward a new self-adaptive option method for component signals that are sensitive to failure feature information of bearing. The sensitivity of kurtosis to bearing failure is exploited and the influence of signal complexity on the extraction of failure feature information is taken seriously, the paper has proposed the self-adaptive option method for component signals that are sensitive to failure feature by combined kurtosis with Complexity parameter included in Hjorth parameters. Furthermore, as the mid-value represents the general level of signal and is not affected by larger or smaller data, with the mid-values of kurtosis and Complexity parameter as the boundary, the paper has chosen the component signals which can more comprehensively show the failure features of bearing. Additionally, by principal component analysis (PCA), component signals selected are blended and reconstructed. Finally, by the Hilbert envelope spectrum of signals reconstructed, failure types of bearing are identified. To verify the effectiveness of presented method, the presented method is compared with conventional method on the basis of the exactly consistent data. The result indicates that the proposed method is superior to the traditional one in extracting fault information and identifying the multiple failure types of bearing.

There is no consistent result on the relationship between green organizational identity (GOI) and corporate green competitive advantage (GCA) in the existing literature. The omission of crucial mediating variables may be one of the important reasons. Based on the organizational identity theory and exploration-exploitation paradigm, this article studies the relationship between GOI and GCA in a model that includes mediating variables composed of green exploitative innovation (GEI) and green exploratory innovation (GER), and organizational flexibility (OF) as a moderating variable. The empirical test of survey data from polluting enterprises in China shows that GOI has a positive effect on green ambidexterity innovation and GCA. Both GEI and GER have a positive impact on GCA. Moreover, green ambidexterity innovation has a partial mediating effect between GOI and GCA, but the moderating effect of OF between green ambidexterity innovation (GAI) and GCA is different, and OF only negatively moderates the relationship between GER and GCA. These findings suggest that GOI can influence firms to choose different innovative ways between GEI and GER to obtain GCA, which counts on different levels of OF.

In recent years, many highly productive lines of transplants including the virus-free lines have been produced through vegetative propagation. In Japan, however, commercial supply of the vegetatively propagated transplants is less than that of seed propagated transplants. Meanwhile, international trade of propagated materials is increasing as the number of multi-national companies increases. This trend will be intensified worldwide by the UPOV-treaty which strengthens the patents for plants. As a result, there will be an increase in importation of vegetatively propagated transplants. Problems and future prospects of vegetatively propagated transplants are discussed.


This paper presents a different interpretation of the cyclic Wiener filter (CWF) for digital (in-phase/quadrature) IQ-modulated signals, such as phase-shift keying (PSK) or quadrature amplitude modulations (QAM). We demonstrate that the CWF can be implemented as a multirate filter instead of the frequency-shift (FRESH) filter implementation found in the literature. The multirate implementation consists of a fractionally spaced equalizer (FSE) followed by a pulse shaping filter, thus establishing a direct relationship between the CWF and FSEs. Afterwards, the results from the study are applied to develop a simple blind adaptive algorithms for signal estimation, which are benchmarked against the most common CWF implementation based on FRESH filters.


. This model assumes the division of the resource space between large generalists and smaller specialists and size-localized competition in mature populations. As the paper written by Hannan and co-authors (Chap. 11) shows, ecologists have begun to take size explicitly into account. Relying on Carroll's model of resource partitioning, they predict a population's development towards a bimodal distribution of size. However, to incorporate this model in the analysis of organizational life-histories is still a task which has to be undertaken (Hannan et al., p. 266). I can fully recommend this book. Throughout, the papers are of high

his essay explores the relationship between delogs ('das log) and women and reflects on what this connection adds to current understandings about gender stereotypes and religious roles available to Tibetan Buddhist women in the Himalayas. But first, what is a delog? Delogs are typically defined as people who have died and returned to life. As opposed to a seconds or minutes-long near-death experience, delogs usually lie dead for several days, sometimes for a week or more. When they miraculously return to life, they report having toured the postmortem realms (bar do), witnessing the consequences of negative deeds and being charged with messages to deliver to the human world. Because scholarship to date has focused on textual narratives, delog "biographies" intended to inspire ethical behavior and devotion to the Buddhist Three Jewels, we currently know very little about the lives of these extraordinary people.1 Here I present results from an ethnographic study of contemporary delogs which reveals a markedly different picture from that found in textual sources. The fact that a delog's first death experience often initiates a continuing series of otherworldly excursions, for example, has been noted by Pommaret in the case of Bhutanese delogs but has yet to be recognized as a common feature of delog practice.2 Studies of delogs that are based solely on written records also fail to recognize that the majority of delogs are women. This research is based on fieldwork begun in 2004 and concentrated in north-central Nepal and the Sichuan and Qinghai Provinces of China between January 2008 and October 2009.3 During this time, I

In June 1961, the first director of the Peace Corps flew home to promote his new agency before a special gathering of an older one. "I have in my hand a volunteer questionnaire for Peace Corps service," R. Sargent Shriver told the Catholic Interracial Council of Chicago, which he had founded and supervised for several fractious years. "Nowhere does it ask for the candidate's race." This conscious omission illustrated the Peace Corps's most conspicuous goal: "to see people as peopleto come to terms with human beings as persons apart from qualifying adjectives," as Shriver formulated it. Here he credited the burgeoning civil rights movement of the era, which echoed and inspired the Peace Corps's own color-blind philosophy. "Injustice is done when men place high priority on race or class rather than personality," Shriver intoned. "When will the ugly incidents of Montgomery and Birmingham cease to be? Only when every man becomes a person to every other man." Since the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence, Shriver admitted, Americans' behavior had often contradicted that document's credo of human equality. The Peace Corps would reinvigorate it, stressing "quality of skill" over "color of skin" and prodding the nation to complete its historic task.1 Ten years later, a young recruiter's letter to African American collegians breathed a decidedly different spirit.

Abstract : Piezometer data from 14 pre-1960 piezometer range sites in the Rock Island District (RID) were documented and analyzed to determine landside and riverside permeability ratios. Only 7 of the 14 sites had complete data, which included piezometric pressures under both the riverside and landside slopes of the levee. Piezometer data obtained in 1979 from 15 new (1977) piezometer range sites were also reviewed, but because the calculated entrance distances, among other things, were significantly greater than the distances to the exposed substratum at the riverbank, these latter data were considered in error and were not used for analysis. Berm widths were also calculated using LMVD, RID, and WES permeability ratios. Observed seepage performance from all 29 piezometer range sites was studied and compared with berm width calculations. Berm criteria based on a creep ratio of 15 to 18, similar to that advanced in 1916 by Mr. W. G. Bligh in his book, 'Dams and Weirs', were also tried. While berm lengths were more reasonable than those mentioned above, these criteria also failed to adequately distinguish between those locations that needs berms and those that do not.


To expression large quantities of human papillomavirus type 16(HPV16) L1 protein in E.coli,the 5' end of the L1 gene was deleted.The optimization of vector and expression conditions were studied. The result showed that target protein accounts for approximatedly 33% of the total bacterial proteins.The inclusion body were isolated and washed. The denatured L1 were renatured by gradual dialysis and purified. ELISA showed that renatured L1 is antigenic.


To the editor A 50-year-old male patient was urgently transferred to our institution from a peripheral hospital to perform primary angioplasty because of an acute myocardial infarction. His risk factors for coronary artery disease included a current smoking habit and an untreated hypercholesterolemia. At 12.00 p.m., he started to complain of oppressive chest pain with radiation to shoulders, neck and jaw associated with diaphoresis and followed by palpitations. At 3.30 p.m., he arrived at the emergency department of the peripheral hospital where an ECG was rapidly performed. The ECG showed an atrial fibrillation with a mean heart rate of 70 beats/min, an ST-segment elevation in both inferior and anterolateral leads (Fig. 1). He received acetylsalicylic acid 300 mg and unfractioned heparin 5000 IU intravenously and, thereafter, he was urgently transferred to our institution for primary angioplasty. At 4.30 p.m., the patient arrived at the catheterization laboratory and abciximab was administered.


As the need of batteries with high energy density raises, lithium metal anode has attracted considerable attention due to its high theoretical specific capacity and low reduction potential. However, there are several technical issues in practical use of lithium metal anode due to the growth of lithium dendrite and chemical instability with liquid electrolyte. It is essential to form the stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on lithium metal anode to prevent lithium dendrite growth and minimize side reaction of liquid electrolyte. Designing the SEI with high Li+ ion conductivity and mechanical strength is imperative to stabilize lithium metal anode. Recently, various additives have been investigated to form a stable SEI layer on Li metal. However, during repetitive charge and discharge process, the additives in the electrolyte can be depleted by continuously forming SEI, which results in capacity fading of batteries. In this work, we developed the polymer protection layer containing excessive amount of additives that form the stable SEI layer. The additives can be stored in the polymeric layer, continuously released to the electrolyte during the repeated cycling. Electrochemical analyses such as linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry were investigated, and the Li/Li symmetric cells showed the regulation of lithium deposition with small overpotential. The cycling performance of lithium metal batteries with protection layer was evaluated with high nickel NCM cathode.


We present a prototype that integrates WAP-based information access with spoken dialog interaction. WAP phone usability is encumbered by keypad entry for typing text, and also by the small screen-size that requires much scrolling during browsing or menu selection. The spoken dialog interface offers a desirable complement whereby commands may be spoken instead of typed, and the dialog design may present a menu hierarchy for user selection. We refer to this integrated interface as WAP-speech. Our prototype system offers two information services on an Enterprise Java Beans platform. (i) The weather information service allows the user to traverse a three-tier menu on the WAP phone to retrieve the weather information of a city. Alternatively, the user may interact with the spoken dialog interface and the requested weather information is pushed to his WAP phone. (ii) The stock alert service allows the user to specify the alert condition for a Java-based software agent to monitor a real-time financial information feed. When the pre-specified condition is met, the alert message is automatically generated and pushed to the user's WAP phone. Preliminary usability studies indicate that the WAP-speech interface can significantly shorten task completion time when compared to the WAP-only interface. The software agent architecture design is suitable for asynchronous WAP applications, where it performs off-line tasks and generates WAP push messages.

The high magnitude of quench-induced residual stress in thick aluminum plates is attributed not only to high thermal stress but also to high yield strength due to quench-induced precipitation hardening. To date, lowering the thermal stress is the only path to reduce the residual stress in the design of quenching technology. In this paper, a new path is proposed that reduces the residual stress through decreasing the yield strength at ambient temperatures by eliminating the precipitation hardening effect during quenching. As certified in several experiments, the high yield strength of thick as-quenched plates decreases rapidly from a short period of extra heat preservation at relatively higher temperatures. Therefore, an interrupted quenching method is proposed, wherein quenching is interrupted after an initial cooling period and the sample is placed in air to make the temperature field uniform; afterward, the sample is cooled to room temperature. Interrupted quenching tests were conducted on 115 mm thick 7050 aluminum plates and significant residual stress reductions were observed in the specimens compared with the residual stresses in the specimens subjected to regular quenching.


Current state-of-the-art knowledge of the solar wind, solar particle events, and galactic cosmic rays is reviewed for the development of space vehicle design criteria based on these interplanetary environments. These criteria are described quantitatively in terms of intensity, flux and fluence, and their dependences on time, position and energy, and the associated probabilities and related parameters, for electrons, protons and other ions.


Individual is the cultural individual.The cultural is the existence mode of individual.The inter-consolidation and harmony between cultural and individual are the logic starting point of cultural individual formation.Based on the definition of cultural,we bring forward that,in the human and nature system,cultural individual formation is mostly the formation on the individual as a unification cultural of procedure created by human and orientation pursued for human.It is the reproduction procedure of a kind of existing cultural on every cultural individual.Cultural individual formation comprises the repetition formation and creativity formation.Cultural consciousness is the aim of value for a cultural individual formation.


Free-cooling is a well-known concept in the HVAC industry in which the cold water produced by cooling tower is used directly to satisfy the requirement of the cooling load without assistance by the chiller, this concept, however, is not reported in the turbine inlet air cooling applications. Free-cooling works well as long as the ambient wet bulb temperature WBT is sufficiently low to produce cold water at the required temperature but once WBT reaches its threshold value hence free-cooling mode is ceased and the chiller kicks off working under its normal mode of operation i.e. free-cooling is either enabled or disabled. The proposed system in this paper provides in addition to the above modes of operation a novel mode that utilizes the cooling tower as primary source of cooling simultaneously with the chiller which serves as a secondary source at elevated WBT. This new feature significantly reduces the yearly operating hours of the chiller and possibly its size depending on the desired inlet air temperature, actual weather conditions and design WBT. Chiller size can vary between 0-100 percent as compared to a similar classical chiller system with significant reduction in the operating hours. The proposed system basically consists of chiller, cooling tower, cooling coils, interconnecting piping and controls. The arrangement of the system equipments changes with the operation modes in two configurations; dual water circulation loops and single water circulation loop. In the dual loops configurations the system has two separate loops such that the evaporator and the cooling coils are tied in one loop while the cooling tower and condenser in the other loop whereas in the single loop configuration all equipments are connected in series in one water circulation loop. This paper presents the major equipments and characteristics of the novel chiller scheme. In addition, the study outlines the potential reduction in the chiller load, size and operating hours under a generalized weather envelope. The paper in general portrays the feasibility of using the proposed cooling scheme for turbine inlet air cooling.Copyright © 2007 by ASME


FIELD: radio engineering, communication. SUBSTANCE: user terminal determines the access point (AP) of a target network and receives a destination tunnel address. A tunnel for signalling transmission between the user terminal and the AP of the target network is established through the current network in accordance with the destination tunnel address. The user terminal performs an operation for access the network from the AP of the target network through the signalling transmission tunnel. Thus, handover between a WiFi network and a WiMAX network can be performed. EFFECT: shorter time required for handover between networks. 19 cl, 12 dwg


One of the early attempts to control vestibular symptoms and retain cochlear function by partial destruction of the end organ was reported by Day! in 1952. The procedure consisted of passing a fine neurosurgical coagulating needle into the vestibule through a smaJl fenestra made in the ampulated end of the horizontal canal. A light coagulating current was applied to the anterior, posterior and medial walls of the vestibule. The fenestra was then closed with bone dust. The results were encouraging, initially. Sixteen, or 30 per cent, of the first 54 cases retained hearing; and in one case, the hearing returned to the normal adult level. No significant complications were reported. My experiences with the method involved nine cases previously unreported because the number was small and the results the same as those reported by Day.


Kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.) is one of the plants that has an active compound. The active compound has the potential to be used as a lead compound. One of the main compounds of kencur is Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (EPMS). Empirically, kencur is used as an asthma medication. One of the asthma receptor targets is AChM3. Regarding its main content and empirically use, it is necessary to conduct research on the antagonism nature of EPMS towards AChM3 receptors. This research implemented in vitro and in silico studies. In vitro studies were carried out by observing the percentage of contraction and relaxation of isolated Cavia porcellus tracheal smooth muscle when given EPMS with concentrations of 100 μM and 200 μM. This test utilized a comparison drug, namely Atropine with the same treatment. The test results could be seen from the pD2 value which then were statistically analyzed using the One Way ANOVA test with a 95% confidence level. In silico test was carried out by doing the molecular docking using the Autodock Vina application with EPMS ligands and AChM3 receptors. In silico test results could be seen from the docking score and the type of bond that binds to the ligand and receptor. This test applied comparison of Atropine and Tiotropium native ligands. The results showed that EPMS was proven to have non-competitive antagonistic activity against AChM3 receptors from both in vitro and in silico tests. The pD2 value decreased significantly starting from administering a concentration of 100 µM. There was one same bond that bound AChM3 with the three test ligands, namely ARG C: 1095. The docking score of EPMS (-5.2) was higher compared to the score of Atropine (-6.1) and Tiotropium native ligand (-5.9). It indicated that EPMS had antagonistic activity against AChM3. However, the binding capacity of EPMS was not stronger than Atropine and Tiotropium. This study concluded that EPMS had an antagonistic activity against AChM3 receptors on the Cavia porcellus trachea, but this compound had an activity that was not stronger than Atropine.


The growth of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) has enabled the development of various vehicular applications, such as traffic control systems, autonomous vehicles, and augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies suggests that it is important to improve the efficiency of the network. Vehicular Edge Computing has been developed which focuses on installing edge nodes at the stationary nodes, typically Road-Side Units (RSUs). However, the large-scale RSU installation must be considered to maximize the service area. The mobile edge node is more suitable for this circumstance. In this paper, we propose a new Buses as an Infrastructure (Baal) Framework in which buses are used as edge nodes for providing computational resources and other services to the end user. We take advantage of the existing public transport system to reduce the latency and deployment costs. We also propose a heuristic algorithm to find the optimal bus route for edge node deployment by prioritizing the number of workloads with the top-N technique. We verify that our heuristic algorithm provides between 6% and 50% more served vehicles than the fixed RSUs approach in the case where the service requires a computation time of less than the average of 46 seconds.


Use of communication strategies are recommended frequently to individuals with aphasia in order to enhance their communication and societal participation. This study aims to explore the efficacy of communication strategy usage in persons with chronic aphasia and their communicative partners. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with five women and six men with chronic aphasia (N =11) and a qualitative analysis of the same was done. Different factors related to individuals with aphasia, their caregivers and topics of conversation were found to affect the efficacious use of communication strategies. The most important among this was the care givers awareness regarding the need and usage of communication strategies. It was evident from the current research that caregiver training on communication strategies should be an integral goal of aphasia rehabilitation. This will inturn enhance rehabilitation and integration of individuals with aphasia for societal participation.


Brain tumour occurrence in Malaysia demonstrates an increasing trend from year to year among adults and the second most common cancer among children. Thus, the expansion of numerous research for novel therapy and treatment are necessary. The distribution of brain tumour in a specific population is important to provide substantial information about the current trends for developing new diagnostic technique and research. Consequently, this study is opted to provide descriptive data of brain tumour in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). 217 brain tumour cases were collected from the hospital record between 2011 and 2014. The brain tumour cases were confirmed by pathologists according to WHO classification and grading. Descriptive analysis was evaluated by using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS version 22. Gender preponderance in this study shows very little difference. The most common adult primary brain tumour in this study was meningioma (32.7%) followed by glioblastoma (7.8%), a type of diffuse astrocytic tumour. According to age factor, brain tumour distribution pattern shows an increasing trend as the age increases and meningioma is the most common among the elder patients. Secondary tumour takes more than 10% from overall percentage of brain tumour cases. In conclusion, the descriptive data presentation in this study is very helpful to provide baseline information on the current brain tumour occurrence in this region.

Chemicals and drugs are known to be metabolized mostly by Cytochrome P450 xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. However, the detailed mechanism of nitro-compounds metabolism is still unclear. The activation of nitro-xenobiotics by heme-P450 enzymes is a potential explanation for the origin of nitro-compound carcinogenesis. Investigating the interaction of simple nitro-compounds with redox activity of heme enzymes is therefore critical to explore the mechanism and products of activation. In this study, multiple analytical methods and instrumentations are employed and graphic and simulation software such as Origin and Digisim are utilized to quantitatively derive parameters from experimental raw data. This study shows that myoglobin, iron-protoporphyrin-IX (hemin), and the oxygenase domain of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOSoxy) act as efficient electrocatalysts for nitroalkane reductions in the surfactant films on pyrolytic graphite electrodes. In the study using myoglobin as a model electrocatalyst for the electroreduction of nitromethane, the catalytic activity is evaluated using Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The apparent Km and the turnover number kcat are derived from non-linear regression of Michaelis-Menten plot using Origin software. The reductive products of catalytic electroreduction of nitromethane are identified by a mass spectrometric method. We also identified a ferrous heme-nitrosomethane as the intermediate in the catalytic process using UV-Vis spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. We show the


Objective
To study the contents of plasma free hemoglobin (F-Hb) and sCD163 and expression of CD163 in liver in order to explore the impact of red blood cells and phagocytes, and to provide a basis for cellular and molecular mechanism study in order to carry out early prevention and treatment of chronic arsenic poisoning.

Methods
Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups according to their body weight via a random number table method, 8 rats in each group: control group, 80 μg/L As treatment group, 400 μg/L As treatment group and 2 000 μg/L As treatment group. Animals were infected with sodium arsenite through drinking water. Blood samples were obtained from abdominal aorta after As treatment, and samples of liver tissues were harvested. Erythrocyte parameters were measured with automated blood analyzer; the levels of F-Hb and sCD163 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); CD163 in rat liver was analyzed via immunohistochemical method.

Results
No significant change was found in red blood cell parameters between groups (all P > 0.05). The contents of F-Hb [(7.58 ± 1.42), (7.85 ± 1.61), (9.52 ± 2.22) mg/L] and sCD163 [(19.49 ± 2.49), (17.92 ± 2.32), (20.02 ± 3.42) mg/L] in arsenic infected group were significantly higher than those of control group [(4.34 ± 0.40), (12.48 ± 1.65) mg/L], the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), and there was a certain correlation between F-Hb and sCD163 (r = 0.74, P < 0.05). The numbers of CD163 positive cells in arsenic infected group (9.4%, 6.1%, 4.5%) decreased compared with that of control group (25.0%, χ2 = 12.988, P < 0.05).

Conclusions
The increased levels of F-Hb and sCD163 under low levels of arsenic exposure can reflect the damage degree of red blood cells and the level of inflammation; at the same time, the number of CD163 positive macrophage that can ingest foreign particles is reduced, which may be related to the damage degree of liver in rats exposed to arsenic.

Effects of nitrogen applied at different growth stages on the wheat photosynthetic characteristics and the grain yields in the later period were studied under the super-high-yielding conditions. The results indicated that nitrogen ap- plication at jointing and booting stages helped alleviate the decreasing rate of Chl content and Pn, RUBPcase activity in the flag leaves and LAI, CAP in the wheat plants in the later period. Nitrogen treatment at jointing stage had more rea- sonable components of the yield than those of other treatments and the yield of the former treatment was the highest; ni- trogen application at booting stage greatly raised 1000-kernel weight and kernel number per spike, and the yield-in- creasing effect was also very obvious; because of its low grain weight, the yield of the treatment of nitrogen application at regreen stage was slightly higher than that of the nitrogen application at seeding stage.


Abstrak The Qur'an suggests the existence of several factors that influence the development of the soul: heredity, environment, and innate potential. Environment is not the only factor affecting the development of the soul, as well as heredity. However, whole these factors also influence individual growth and mental development. Several methods offered the Qur'an in educating the soul by strengthening faith and taqwa; assigning various religious obligation, giving encouragement to be patient and remembering Allah (zikr) and repent to Him. This article tries to describe further about this issue.


Purpose: Technology has always been important for humans, affecting every aspect of our lives and affecting the education and training process. Especially today, the use of technology has become widespread, including in the preschool period. The purpose of this study is to investigate preschool teacher opions on technology usage and digital games in early childhood period. Design & Methodology: A descriptive research design was used in the present study. The study sample consisted of 97 preschool teachers working in Kayseri, Kirsehir and Ankara in the academic year 2018–2019. The data obtained from the research was obtained through a form prepared by the researcher. The data were analyzed with percentage, frequency and predictive analysis via SPSS package program. Findings: As a result of the research, the most frequently found technologies in the homes of preschool teachers were televisions (100%) and smart phones (100%), and the most frequently found technologies in preschool classrooms were internet connections (83.5%) and televisions (75.3%). The study findings revealed that, preschool teachers spent the most time on social media (46%) compared to other forms of online activities. Most of the teachers (66%) rated their technology skills at a basic level. The majority of the preschool teachers (95.9%) benefited from technology in their classroom activities. Most of the teachers were against children internet usage (59.8%) and playing digital games (55.7%). Implications & Suggestions: The results of the research show that preschool teachers are against the use of technology by preschool children and that traditional games support children's cognitive, affective, social, emotional and physical development more than digital games.

The authors outline some examples of the advantages found in subdividing overall quenching into heterogeneous contributions. Subdivision is accomplished by overdetermination (global) and association (DAS, decay associated spectral) methods. In some cases, the subdivision of fluorescence leads to the unique identification of different fluorophores in different sites. Alternatively, the recovered components may reflect conformational heterogeneity at each site. For intrinsic protein fluorescence, it is often noted in the literature that single Trp proteins may be multiexponential. Genetic substitution in multi-Trp proteins, however, often leads to very strong (if not complete) lifetime-to-Trp assignment. Even if a single Trp experiences two or more microenvironments, it can be a useful reporter. The linkage of multiple lifetimes and amplitudes to changes in global conformation often reveals a more `sensitive' subpopulation or lifetime component that becomes a better indicator for important conformational states than aggregate intensity can provide. This has proven useful in studying pH transitions of proteins both in solution and embedded in membranes. Energy transfer is particularly useful in differentiating sites at different distances. Further, the disclosure of heterogeneity in distance is clearly superior to the reporting of a mean distance. This report surveys several systems that have been examined via emission DAS techniques, showing how each protein is better understood when viewed in terms of discrete spectral contributions. We conclude with an overview and some details about our construction of an EDAS (excitation-DAS) instrument; i.e., how excitation scans can be incorporated into a time-resolved instrument.

The national safety technical specifications and standards have clear provisions on the distance between the elevator car and the well wall facing the car entrance. Current measuring methods are lower measurement efficient and accuracy, and poor repeatability. With the increasing number of elevators, this traditional method is far from meeting the requirements of practical work. This paper studied on the Laser ranging technology applied to the distance measurement aiming to overcome those problems. The new measuring equipment was consisted of the laser ranging module, rotary encoder and Bluetooth module, which can measure and record all data related to the distance between the car and the car entrance shaft wall. The advantages of the new device are higher repeatability and reliability, which greatly improve the measurement efficiency. It is suitable for measuring the distance between elevator car and shaft well of high-rise building, thus the inspectors can be free from the heavy work of measurement.


The study deals with the translation of attributive constructions featured in the story "A Matter of Life and Death" by Les Martovych into English. The paper focuses on the ways of rendering adjectival lexemes as semantic-syntactic attributive components of the nominal group, their taxonomy by means of Gordon Tucker's systemic functional approach and the relation between the elements of the quality or quantity group and the word with respect to William McGregor's typology of syntagmatic relations.

Roma Franko achieved the comprehensive rendering of various adnominal attributive modifiers through a variety of ways. To translate syntagmas with associative (classification) attributive adjectives and nouns in the attributive function, Ms Franko addresses herself to five structural-formal constructions that are topically related to the domain of community administration and identify socially privileged classes. Two structures furnish for gradual adjectives of the quality group. Twenty structures render attributive relations, where adjectival lexemes refer to one or more features of the property described. The use of attributive constructions, which are the result of unfolding of the denotative meaning of the nominal lexeme of the source language in the translation, has been commented.

The findings of the study will serve to those involved in the synchronic-comparative study of language systems, the study of the Ukrainian writer's signature world-view for the purposes of producing fiction translation, as well as at analyzing semantic and grammatical features of the attributive adjectives.

The prospect of future studies may include comparing the translation of attributive phrases of the story into German.


The performance of five different bat designs, from different eras spanning from 1905 to 2013, was assessed to address the question whether the changes in bat design over the years have resulted in a performance advantage to the batsman. Moment of inertia and 'freely suspended' vibration analysis tests were conducted, as these physical properties have been directly associated with rebound characteristics of the bats. Results showed that changes in the blade's profile such as distribution of the blade's weight along the edges and closer to the toe have resulted in a clear performance advantage of the newest bats in comparison with older designs. These results add to the weight of evidence in cricket that the game has changed to the benefit of the batsman and additional changes to bat design are conceivable as modern engineering tools are applied to further optimise performance.


Background; Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignancy. Worldwide incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing with considerable international variation in incidence. This study was conducted to document the frequency of incidental carcinoma after thyroidectomy in patients with multinodular benign goiter in our population as there was no such conducted in our population. Materials and Methods: A total number of 150 Patients with benign multinodular goiter of either sex having their ages ranging from 20 to 60 years were included who were admitted in the Department of Surgery, Nishtar Hospital Multan and DHQ hospital Khanewal by Non-probability Consecutive Sampling in this cross-sectional study. Informed consent was taken from the patients. All collected data was entered in SPSS version 20 and analyzed. Results; Of these 150 study cases, 47 (31.3%) were male patients while 103 (68.7 %) were female patients. Mean age of our study cases was 40.92 ± 8.32 years (with minimum age was 26 years while maximum age was 58 years). Of these 150 study cases, 68 (45.3%) were from rural areas and 82 (54.7%) were from urban areas. Majority of these patients i.e. 88 (58.7%) were from poor social background, 54 (36%) were from middle class and 8 (5.3%) belonged to higher class. Mean disease duration was 7.56 ± 4.16 months (with minimum duration of illness was 4 months and maximum duration of illness was 18 months). Incidental carcinoma was seen in 31 (20.7%) of our study cases. Papillary Carcinoma was seen in 22 (14.7%), follicular carcinoma in 4 (2.7%), medullary carcinomoa 3 (2.0 %), anaplastic carcinoma in 2 (1.3%) of our study cases. Conclusion; The frequency of incidental thyroid carcinoma after thyroidectomy for benign multinodular goiter was high in our study. Thyroidectomy helps prevent recurrence and is also curative treatment for patients with malignancies among targeted population. Incidental carcinoma was significantly associated with residential status, educational status, socioeconomic status and disease duration. Keywords; Incidental carcinoma, thyroidectomy, benign multinodular goiter.


The present trial was carried on with the aim of evaluating the effect of the increasing levels of an enzymatic complex in diets with deactivated full-fat soybean on feed intake (FI), weight gain (WG) and feed:gain ratio (FG) of broilers from 1 to 24 days of age. 480 broilers from the Ross strain were used, allotted to a completely randomized design, containing 4 treatments, 6 replicates, each one with 20 chicks. The chicks were housed in a conventional barn, divided in floor pens with wood shavings. Feed and water were fed ad libitum to broilers. The experimental diets were formulated based on corn, soybean meal and deactivated full-fat soybean, according to the nutritional levels used by the Brazilian Industry. The enzymatic complex (xilanase, â-glucanase, mannanase, pectinase and protease) was added in increasing levels of ; 25; 50 e 75 g/t of ration. The 50g/t enzymatic complex supply, in deactivated full-fat soybean diets increased the feed intake in 3% and the weight gain in 2,5% comparing with the unsupplied diets. According to the regression analysis the best enzymatic complex addition level for weight gain and feed intake (1-42 days of age) on this experimental conditions was 45,94g/t and 49,30g/t of enzyme in the ration respectively. The enzymatic complex addition level was close to 50 g/t.


Separation performance of several small cyclones have been studied experimentally. A cyclone, the diameter of which is about 100mm, can separate submicron particles, because there are less than 10% of particles above 1μm in the downstream flow of the cyclone. A cyclone, the diameter of which is less than 100m, is not useful because there is no further improvement in the separation performance by the reduced diameter, and the clogging of the dust discharge is more liable to occur. A German type cyclone, which has an inverted cone in the dust chamber, also performs well.


Carp muscle was minced or chopped into small blocks and stored in ice for up to 16 days. Triton-washed myofibrils were prepared from the at-death and stored muscles. EDTA-ATPase activity of the myofibrils from the minced muscles decreased rapidly, while Ca2+-and Mg2+-ATPase activities decreased gradually during ice-storage with the exception that Mg2+-ATPase activity in the presence of EGTA increased. The increase in this ATPase ac tivity was accompanied with a loss of Ca2+-sensitivity of the myofibrils. Little changes, however, occurred in ATPase activities of the myofibrils from the muscle blocks during ice-storage. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the myofibrils from the fresh and stored muscles were similar in composition. The change in Cat+-ATPase activity of myosin B obtained from the stored muscles by ex traction from the myofibrils paralleled that of the myofibrils during the storage. Mg2+-ATPase activity of the myofibrils from tho fresh muscles was higher thall that of the myosin B, but this difference reduced with increasing storage period of the muscles. Myosin B obtained from the stored muscles contained aggregates more than the fresh myosin B. Myosin B ag gregates sedimellted by centrifugation at 20,000×g for 20min had higher Mg2+-ATPase activity and lower EDTA-ATPase activity and lower Caz+-sensitivity than myosin B in supernatant. The viscosity, ATP-sensitivity, and sedimentation behaviour of the myosin B were also meas ured.

A bis(radical) derivative based on a triphenylphosphane core substituted by two nitronyl nitroxide units is reported. This compound was isolated in two forms. One consists of an H2O adduct where H2O is hydrogen-bonded to the radical units, whereas the second lacks this bridging unit. Magnetic studies revealed that the presence of the H2O bridge induces ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the spin carriers. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Spectrophotometry was used to determine the content of EDTA in additives for Zn plating, and the test result with this method is similar to that with complex titration. After the color system developing color only for 45 min, its absorbency reached the maximum and remains stable for 24 h. The method has 93.5% of recycle rate, high sensitivity and relatively low detection limit, and is simple, fast, accurate and stable.


A new version of a numerical algorithm for the Lagrangian treatment of incompressible fluid flows with free surfaces is developed. The novel features of the present method are the adoptions of the Lagrangian finite element method and the velocity correction technique. The use of the velocity correction approach makes the computational scheme extremely simple in algorithmic structure. Hence, the present method is particularly attractive for large-scale problems. The techniques discussed here are applied to some two-dimensional sloshing problems, which may indicate the versatility and effectiveness of the present method.

There are some Virtualassistants like Siri, Alexa, Cortana, google assistant etc. Virtual assistant takes commands or questions from user and perform the tasks according to The commands virtually or through the internet. Our virtual personal assistant had a features Like search engine, open apps, set timer, send email, send WhatsApp messages, navigation etc. The virtual personal assistant takes an input through voice (via microphone) and process the input and gives the output through systems speaker.But in our VPA it takes a voice input and give the voice output and it also displays an output on the screen.


Let f be a meromorphic non-entire function in the plane, and suppose that for every n ≥ 0, the derivative f (n) has only real zeros. We have proved that then f is rational and of a special form, and that all possibilities can be listed. In this paper we prove that part of this result which is related to properties of strictly non-real functions.


In the recent decades computing systems have become ubiquitous in our daily life. Due to wear and tear, limited component lifetime, and extraneous factors, among other reasons, all of the systems that we design and implement are subject to failure. One of the main areas in the field of fault tolerance, system evaluation, is concerned with the analysis of systems and faults as well as their operational environments. In the context of system evaluation, this paper is concerned with failure modeling and fault prediction. We propose a model for evaluating network systems in the context of failure and repair. Although the focus here is on sensor networks, it can surely be extended to other situations. A systems engineer can use the proposed model to estimate the longevity of a system and plan appropriate maintenance during the system design or maintenance phases. The approach makes use of Markov chains to model failure states of the system based on historical data. The effectiveness of this model is demonstrated through preliminary experiments and a case study, which also confirm intuitions about the effects of network topology on the network's reliability.


Based on examination of both herbarium specimens (including the types) and living plants, and analysis of protologues and distributions, Parnassia chengkouensis and P. dilatata are found to be conspecific with P. wightiana , a species widespread from North India to South China and North Thailand. Therefore, the two names are reduced to the synonymy of P. wightiana .


his headquarters in New York) founded the India Home Rule League of America and began publishing his monthly, Young India. The first issue appeared in January 1918 and its more muted message won strong support for the Indian cause in the United States. Lala Lajpat Rai appeared with a delegation and presented the nationalist case to the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate; although this had little effect on actions taken at the Paris peace conference, it did serve to enhance the prestige of Indian nationalists who had previously appeared before Congressional committees only to protest immigration policies. Meanwhile, back in India, Mrs. Annie Besant and her Home Rule movement had harder going. When she was interned by the Madras government, the American theosophists rallied to her side. The British felt it necessary to intercept communications supporting Mrs. Besant and advise the Department of State of their concern as to the possible effect of "a campaign with regard to the methods of rule in India . . . " (p. 208). American interest in Indian nationalism rose to new heights during the immediate postwar years with attention focused on Mahatma Gandhi and the Non-cooperation Movement. Consular officials, however, were guarded in their reporting, according to Dr. Singh, and seemed always aware of the necessity "to avoid any diplomatic embarrassment in their relations with Britain" (p. 263). It would have been helpful if Dr. Singh had shared more of the documents on which he bases this kind of analysis. Especially disappointing is his relegating to a footnote the contents of an interview held with Mahatma Gandhi by Wilbur Kiblinger, the American Consul in Bombay in 1924. The transcript of the interview covered eight foolscap size pages and while it "conveyed his general impressions he gathered from his meeting with Mahatma as a man [it] also dealt with varied topics as fitness of India for self-government, Gandhi's understanding of the masses, uplift of suppressed classes, Swarajists' entrance into the Councils, the Non-co-operation policy, size of the Indian Army, when Swaraj will be obtained, HinduMuslim unity and cloth-making and independence" (p. 279).

The invention relates to a preparation method of zinc titanium alloy for hot dipping. The prepared zinc titanium alloy can serve as a refining and modifying agent and is used for production of the zinc titanium alloy and other alloy for hot dipping. The invention further provides a molten salt covering agent for smelting of the zinc titanium alloy. The preparation method of the zinc titanium alloy for hot dipping comprises the steps that the covering agent is molten in a crucible, then pure zinc and pure titanium are added to the crucible to be molten in a thermal insulation mode, and the zinc titanium alloy is obtained after cooling is accomplished. By the adoption of the preparation method, oxidization and volatilization of metal in the smelting process can be effectively reduced, the requirement for equipment is low, operation is easy, and the preparation method is applicable to large-scale industrial production and application. The prepared zinc titanium alloy can achieve the purposes that the titanium element is rapidly added to an object plating solution, and the content of titanium is controlled under the condition of the ppm level, and the use performance of the zinc titanium alloy is better than that of a conventional refining and modifying agent containing Ti. The molten salt covering agent comprises, by weight, 50%-55% of CaCl2, 35%-45% of NaCl and 1%-10% of KCl, has the advantages of being low in density and melting point, good in liquidity and low in cost and easy to process, cannot generate poisonous gas in the using process, and is safe and environmentally friendly.


Development and evaluation of a simulated model for predicting the performance of a terrestrial solar panel under space conditions will be described in this paper. The developed model takes into account the variation of temperature, irradiance and radiations which degrade the solar arraypsilas efficiency in low earth orbits (LEO) and geostationary orbits (GEO). Simulations under the space operating and environmental conditions are accomplished using results obtained from web based ESApsilas software; Space Environment Information System (SPENVIS). It has been shown that the terrestrial solar panel could be used as a space one. The specific kind of solar panel which has been used in our research could be useful in a LEO orbit for 2 month period. In the other hand, the life time will be increased with increasing the thickness of cover glass.

Today's data is so huge so it's referred to as "Big data." Such data now exceeds petabytes, and hence businesses have begun to store it in the cloud. Because the cloud is a third party, data must be secured before being uploaded to the cloud in such a way that cloud mining may be performed on protected data, as desired by the organization. Homomorphic encryption permits mining and analysis of encrypted data, hence it is used in the proposed work to encrypt original data on the data owner's site. Since, homomorphic encryption is a complicated encryption, it takes a long time to encrypt, causing performance to suffer. So, in this paper, we used Hadoop to implement homomorphic encryption, which splits data across nodes in a Hadoop cluster to execute parallel algorithm and provides greater privacy and performance than previous approaches. It also enables for data mining in encrypted form, ensuring that the cloud never sees the original data during mining.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the main performance indicators of the agricultural entrepreneurship functioning and development and to assess the prospects for its development. The following methods are used in the research: analysis and synthesis, analytical generalizations, graphic – in the analysis of the agricultural entrepreneurship development; statistical, extrapolation, constructive-computational, mathematical modelling, time series decomposition – for forecasting the development of agricultural entrepreneurship. The main tendencies and peculiarities of the agrarian entrepreneurship functioning and development are determined, the forecast for its development is carried out. The method of exponential smoothing with a damped trend for forecasting is used. The results testify that during the forecast period both quantitative and qualitative indicators will increase, in particular the gross agricultural output from 596,8 UAH million to 739,7 UAH million, which makes it possible to state about the positive dynamics of both the agricultural entrepreneurship development and the appropriate level of agricultural products supply. It is concluded that the state should strengthen the agricultural policy to promote the development of small-scale production in agriculture, the status of a producer of agricultural products in the form of a family farm in particular. Methodological approaches to forecasting trends and prospects for the development of agricultural entrepreneurship have been further developed, which makes it possible to provide the formation of strategic directions for their support and stimulation in the future. The results of the study can be used by specialists to assess the level of the agricultural entrepreneurship development, public administration officials in choosing areas of regional and state policy development and support of entrepreneurship, researchers to expand the scope of research.


We propose a new method for 3D-mesh model characteristic view selection. It consists in using the views that come from the equilibrium states of a 3D-model: they correspond to the horizontal plane on which an object is stat- ically laying under the effect of gravity. The selected views are then very intuitive for the user. Indeed, to present a query, the user will take a photo or draw a sketch of the object on a table or on a floor, putting thus the object in a static mechanical equilibrium. Consequently, our view selection method follows the same principles: finding all the equilibrium planes of an object and obtaining their relative 2D views. We present the experiments and results of our method on the Princeton 3D Shape Benchmark Database using a collection of 50 images (photos, sketches, etc.) as queries, showing the performance of our method in 3D retrieval from photos.


The article examines how parkour training is constructed and transmitted amongst localised peer groups known as 'traceurs'. It concentrates on training practices that develop as a result of peer interaction in open, public spaces rather than formal training sessions that take place within a gym or as part of a regulated coaching programme. Drawing on extended interview material from a range of parkour practitioners with varying levels of experience and expertise, the article investigates the traceur's perspective on group training and how this relates to cognition and processes of learning. Using traceurs' own reflections the research will identify how physical obstacles, mental challenges, fear and risk are handled through repeated actions that then result in deeply embedded somatic responses to the built environment. The repertoire of moves that is shared between traceurs offers a patterned way of learning that, in turn, provides a route to embodied knowing. The research demonstrates how group training sessions in parkour can be conceived as collaborative learning and how that relates to theories of social learning (Bandura 1977, Lave 2009, Wenger 1998). The article argues that the efficacy of play as an approach to training provides a vehicle for active learning that chimes with the utilitarian aspect of parkour practice where to know and overcome obstacles represents the knowing and attainment of freedom.


In this paper, we are interested in the problem of detection polynomial phase signals (PPS) affected by additive Gaussian white noise. A new algorithm for PPS detection is proposed. It is based on the time domain filter-banks method combined with the short time Radon-Wigner transform method. Because of the band-limited character of PPS, the subband signal's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be enhanced by using filter bank method. On the other hand, the local PPS can be approximated by linear frequency modulated (LFM) signal, so short time Radon-Wigner transform is used to detect and estimate the local signal's instantaneous frequency. The merit of this new algorithm is validated by illustrative examples in low (SNR) condition.


ABSTRACT A theoretical model is presented for particle motion, heat and mass transfer and drying rates in vertical tubular pneumatic conveying dryers. The model is one-dimensional and takes time increments along the tube; a computer program is required for its implementation. It is similar to previous models but incorporates several refinements, notably in wall friction, agglomeration and heat transfer. The predictions are compared with experimental results; agreement is good and clearly superior to that obtained by earlier models. The method may be used either for initial design or for scale-up from pilot plant data.


In this study, three putative plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) including Pseudomonas putida strain 168, Bacillus subtilis strain FzB24 and Enterobacter cloacae strain 12, were applied as single and combination of three strains for their ability to improve seed germination traits and early growth in three Corylus avellana ecotypes. After inclusion, seeds were sown in 45 cm×20 cm×10 cm plastic containers filled with wet sterilized river sand and subjected to cold stratification (CS) in a refrigerator at (5±1°C) for 0, 3 and 4 months. The experiment was done based on factorial in a completely randomized design with 3 replicates of 20 seeds each. The numbers of germinated seeds were recorded daily for each ecotype. At the end of the experiment, germination percentage (GP), germination speed (GS), seed vigor index (SVI) of the Seite 338 Y. Rostamikia, M. Tabari, A. Asgharzadeh, A. Rahmani seeds were calculated. Results showed that, CS, ecotypes, bacteria inoculation and interactions of these factors affected germination traits. Over all treatments, GP ranged from 1.66% to 65.40% among the ecotypes. Both CS and inoculation had positive effect on GP. The greatest GP (61.35-65.40%) and onset of germination occurred in seeds co-inoculated by the combination of 3 bacterial inoculants followed by 4 months CS. Among ecotypes, the highest SVI (160.77) belonged to seeds of Makesh ecotype inoculated by the combination of 3 bacterial inoculants full in some points owed by 4 months CS. In case of application of bacterial as individual, the highest germination traits and early growth were obtained in seeds inoculated with Pseudomonas putida. The findings confirm that PGPR is better to be used in combination with cold stratification to overcome seed dormancy, improvement of seed germination treats and early growth of C. avellana.

Estrogen is a promoter for the resorption of calcium in intestine,and a inhibitor for the activity of osteoclasts.Menopause women are at high risk of osteoporosis due to estrogen deficiency that cause the accelerated bone turnover and increased bone loss.Therefore,HT is an appropriate first-line therapy in postmenopausal women presenting with an increased risk for fracture,particularly under the age of 60 years.


On March 17, 2014, a magnitude 4.4 earthquake shook southern California. The first story about the quake on the LA Times' website—a brief, factual account posted within minutes— was written entirely by an algorithm.1 Since then, "robot reporters" have produced stories in major news outlets on topics ranging from minor league baseball games to corporate earnings announcements.2 Some have speculated that future media will consist largely of content produced by artificial intelligence (AI).3
