The European trend is manifest in everyday situations of classical music. Orchestras face reduction of subsidies. They are forced to merge, change status, or both. Their numbers are heavily declining. These trends are observed all over Europe. The aim of the project was to get deeper insight into the situation in Bohemia, identification of weak-points and finding basic guidelines, according to theoretical and practical experiences of similar European/US institutions. Methods involved case-studies, controlled interviews, principles of qualitative research. Historical context and comparison were also important. Findings: There is high reluctance to change (relationship of musicians vs. administration, lack of "manager attitude", absence of strategic planning). There is a low level of networking and sharing of administrative experiences. Practical output of the research was implementation of innovative steps to increase financial self-sufficiency in selected orchestras. New organizational structures, systematic long-life education and training of staff were implemented, more students were involved in work-practices and cooperation with universities was strengthened.


The solid superacid catalyst ferric-manganese doped tungstated zirconia (FMWZ) nanoparticles was prepared by impregnation reaction followed by calcination at 600°C for 3 hr and had been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), temperature programmed desorption of NH3 (TPD-NH3), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunner-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurement. The transesterification reaction was used to determine the optimum conditions of methanolysis of waste cooking oil with FMWZ nanoparticles as heterogeneous solid superacid catalyst. The reactions variables such as reaction temperatures, catalyst loading, molar ratio of methanol/oil and reusability were also assessed which effects the waste cooking oil methyl esters (WCOME's) production yield. The catalyst was reused ten times without any loss in activity and maximum yield of 96% was achieved at the optimized conditions of reaction temperature of 200°C; stirring speed of 600 rpm, 1:25 molar ratio of oil to alcohol and 4% w/w catalyst loading. The fuel properties of the WCOME's were discussed in light of ASTM D6751 biodiesel standard.


Abstract The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), has two distinct geographical populations in southwestern Ontario. The time required for diapause termination is the main distinguishing feature. This together with different critical photoperiods for diapause induction explains the occurrence of two complete generations in the southern portion and only one in the northern portion of this region.


Spent tire rubber-derived chars and their corresponding H3PO4 and CO2-activated chars were used as adsorbents in the recovery of Pb(II) ion and (W(VI)) oxyanion from synthetic solutions. The raw chars and activated chars were thoroughly characterized, being observed that H3PO4-activated chars presented lower surface areas than the raw chars and acidic surface chemistry, which affected the performance of these samples as adsorbents as they showed the lower removal rates of metallic ions probably because these samples presented a low content of exchangeable cations. On the other hand, CO2-activated chars presented increased surface areas and increased mineral content (probably, rich in exchangeable cations) compared to the raw chars, which granted them higher uptake capacities for both Pb(II) (103-116 mg/g) and W(VI) (27-31 mg/g) ions. Also, CO2-activated samples presented the higher kinetic constants for the adsorption process. The results shown in this work allow concluding that the valorisation of spent tire rubber through pyrolysis and the subsequent activation of the obtained chars is an alternative and feasible option to obtain efficient recovery materials of critical metallic elements.


Using neutron-scattering techniques, we have studied the temperature dependence of the magnetic excitations at varied energies in a high-quality single crystal of La/sub 1.85/Sr/sub 0.15/CuO/sub 4/. This crystal exhibits a sharp superconducting transition at 33 K with nearly 100% flux exclusion. For magnetic excitation energies of 9 meV and lower, the intensity drops dramatically with decreasing temperature for temperatures below /similar to/150 K. However, at 12 MeV the intensity is independent of temperature between 300 and 5 K.


Silicon (Si) is an important technological material with widespread applications, especially in electronics and . Due to its specific and low light absorption coefficient, the efficiency of Si-based and solar cells is not sufficient for growing industrial needs. By patterning Si into structures, not only the light-trapping efficiency of the Si can be increased for solar cell and applications, but the process also imparts other functionalities to suitable for applications such as antibacterial surfaces, sensing, batteries, etc. Large scale applications of Si depend on their fabrication. In this article, we summarize the most commonly used fabrication techniques for Si and discuss their advantages and disadvantages.

Kenji Tanaka, Isamu Inada and Kiichi Minai : Developments in Submicron Grinding of BaTiO powder by Ball Milling and its applications.Submicron grinding of BaTiO3, powder was studied by a ball mill with small balls of 0.75mmt to 30mmφ . BaTiO3 clinker, which was obtained by calcining an equimolor mixture of TiO2 and BaCO3 was preground to 1.8 am.Submicron grinding of the BaTiO3 powder was possible by ball milling with several mmφ balls. For a ball diameter of 2mm, the specific surface area was maximumized.Effect of specific gravity of balls was studied by a ball mill with 2mmφ and 5mmφ balls. It was shown that submicron grinding of BaTiO3 powder was possible in short time. The higher the specific gravity of ball, the higher the effect of grinding was.The effect of fine grinding of BaTiO3 powder and additives was investigated. Slurry prepared from the BaTiO3 powder and additives were sheeted with a doctor blade system. The microstructures of the green and sintered body were analyzed by SEM and XMA. Fine grining caused an improvement in sheet formation and subsequent sintering. An increase in grinding time resulted in a decreasing porosity of the green sheet and an increasing density of the sintered body.


Some studies have demonstrated that resveratrol, a fitoalexin produced by several plants and present in grapes, reduces follicular atresia (KONG et al., J Endocrinol Invest., v. 34, p. 374-81, 2011) and reactive oxygen species (KWAK, et al., Theriogenology, v. 78, p. 86-101, 2012) after rat ovarian follicle culture. However, there are no reports about the effect of resveratrol on the in vitro culture of ovine ovarian preantral follicles. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of resveratrol on the morphology, activation and cell proliferation of ovine preantral follicles cultured in situ. After collection of ovine ovaries (n=10) in the slaughterhouse, ovarian cortex was fragmented and one fragment was immediately fixed and destined to histology (fresh control). The remaining fragments were cultured in vitro for 7 days in α-Minimal Essential Medium (α-MEM – GIBCO, Invitrogen, St Louis, EUA) supplemented with insulin, transferrin, selenium, hypoxanthine, glutamine, ascorbic acid and BSA (α- MEM+ - control medium) or in α-MEM+ added by different concentrations of resveratrol (2; 10 or 30 µM). After culture, preantral follicles were morphologically analysed and classified as normal or atretic according to the absence or presence of cytoplasmic shrinkage, nuclear pycnosis and/or disorganization of granulosa cells, as well as classified as primordial or growing follicles (intermediate, primary and secondary follicles). Immunohistochemical analysis was also perfomed for detection of Proliferation Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA; 1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology; Santa Cruz, CA, EUA). The PCNA positive cells (brown) were counted in the sections and expressed as percentage. The percentage of normal, primordial and growing follicles were compared by ANOVA and Tukey's test (P<0.05). After 7 days of culture, there was a significant reduction in the percentage of morphologically normal follicles compared to the fresh control. The concentration of 2 µM resveratrol showed percentages of normal follicles similar to the control medium and significantly higher than other resveratrol concentrations. In addition, there was a significant reduction in the percentage of primordial follicles and an increase in the percentage of growing follicles (follicular activation) in all treatments compared to the fresh control. Moreover, it was possible to observe a significant increase in the percentage of PCNA positive cells in follicles cultured in 2 µM resveratrol (50.7%) in comparison to fresh control (34.0%) and α-MEM+ (4.3%). In conclusion, resveratrol at 2µM maintains survival, promotes activation and cell proliferation of ovine preantral follicles cultured in situ.


The location of a wireless mobile device may be estimated using, at least in part, one or more pre-existing Network Measurement Reports ("NMRs) which include calibration data for a number of locations within a geographic region. The calibration data for these locations is gathered and ana lyzed so that particular grid points within the geographic region can be determined and associated with a particular set or sets of calibration data from, for example, one or more NMRs. Embodiments of the present subject matter also pro vide a method of improving a location estimate of a mobile device. Received signal level measurements reported by a mobile device for which a location estimate is to be deter mined may be evaluated and/or compared with the character istics associated with the various grid points to estimate the location of the mobile device.

This paper discusses the preliminary development of obstacle / collision avoidance system to be used on board a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) designed for indoor applications. Microsoft Kinect Sensor is chosen for obstacle detection, primarily due to its adequate range and accuracy. In addition, the depth sensor data can be used for path planning through crowded space by the identification of window of appropriate dimension to allow the safe passage of the vehicle. The attempt to find such safe window is initiated at the centre of the depth image, which represents the vehicle heading to minimize the maneuvers necessary to orient the vehicle for the safe passage through the identified safe window. Open loop performance of the obstacle detection methodology is successfully demonstrated and it is observed that current algorithm is able to propose a suitable window for safe passage of the vehicle through constrained space in real-time.


This is the first comprehensive look at government policy in relation to the arts around the world that has been attempted in 20 years. The editors have commissioned articles from specialists in 13 different countries - Canada, Denmark, West Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. They have themselves provided a broad overview of the subject and a concluding essay that discusses the major findings, patterns and issues concerning public policy for the arts that have emerged from the 13 countries studied. Each individual chapter discusses the arguments, pro and con, used in government support of the arts in each country, the forms and levels of support, the organisation structure of arts support programmes, the policy choices made and the patterns of distribution of public funds, an evaluation of the impact that government programmes have had on the arts and the effect of budget cutbacks,which have occurred in virtually every country since the mid-1970s.


A review of established and new approaches to satellite multiaccess for VSAT applications is presented. A variety of contention and reservation based protocols for use on both slotted and unslotted channels are described and compared in terms of key attributes such as throughput, delay, stability, robustness, operational convenience and implementation complexity. After the survey, detailed performance results for four candidate 'first generation' VSAT protocols are presented (ALOHA, selective reject ALOHA, slotted ALOHA and DAMA with slotted ALOHA access) applied to an example transaction application. It is shown that, among the random class systems considered, SREJ ALOHA generally outperforms both ALOHA, and slotted ALOHA. DAMA is shown to achieve a higher capacity and lower delay variance than the random access alternatives, but this is at the expense of a 0-75 s irreducible delay, poor robustness and higher implementation complexity. In view of the relatively low impact of VSAT to hub space segment cost on overall system economics, it is expected that delay, implementation complexity and robustness will be primary considerations in VSAT access protocol selection, with capacity (within reason able ranges) being an important, but secondary issue.


Few instruments that measure physical activity (PA) can accurately quantify PA performed at both light and moderate intensities, which is particularly relevant in older adults. Evidence of their reliability and responsiveness to change is limited. The purposes of this study were to: 1) determine test-retest reliability of the Actigraph (ACT), SenseWear Armband (SWA) and the Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) questionnaire in assessing free-living PA; and 2) determine the responsiveness to change in PA measured by the three instruments after an exercise program in individuals wih knee osteoarthritis who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Test-retest reliability was determined by asking subjects to wear the activity monitors for two weeks and complete the CHAMPS at the end of each week. Reliability was measured using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC2,k). For responsiveness, subjects wore the activity monitors for one week at baseline and at 6-months, and completed the CHAMPS at the end of each week. Changes in PA and standardized response mean (SRM) were calculated and compared across instruments. Weighted-Kappa (K) was used to determine agreement between the instruments on identifying changes in PA based on measurement error.
Test-retest reliability ranged from moderate to excellent for ACT (ICC=0.75-0.86), and were excellent for SWA (ICC=0.93-0.95) and CHAMPS (ICC=0.86-0.92) in the subjects who reported similar PA during two-weeks. The 95% confidence interval of the ICCs from SWA was the only one within excellent reliability range (0.85-0.98). Results on responsiveness revealed small changes in PA (p>0.05) measured by each instrument after the intervention. SRMs indicated small degree of responsiveness (SRM<0.30). When using the measurement error as a threshold for change in PA, the ACT and SWA agreed on the identification of changes in PA (K=0.36-0.63) and disagreed with the CHAMPS (K≤0.22).
This study provides evidence that the ACT and SWA have better psychometrics than the CHAMPS, and amongst the activity monitors, the SWA showed better psychometrics. Clinicians and researchers can use the results from our studies to make well-informed decisions when selecting instruments to measure free-living PA in individuals with arthritis of the lower extremities.


Energy Management Systems can benefit from the multi-agent approach at different levels. This approach offers potential to bring efficient solutions to the problem of system supervision and supply restoration in the event of contingencies. The goal of this paper is to present a supply restoration method for electric distribution based on the repair solution philosophy as opposed to the analytical methods traditionally employed to solve this problem. To implement this restoration method, a multiagent model of the network is proposed in order to find, by cooperation between agents, a satisfactory balance between the available supply and its restoration in the network. This research is developed on the basis of a study performed on the operation of a real electricity company. Since the electricity supply is a crucial service for the society, all electricity network equipment is subjected to voltage and current constraints in order to operate within safe and efficient levels. For that purpose the status of the network is thus continuously monitored through data acquisition on the system variables. The network control is performed by commands issued manually or electromechanically on fault detection and protection devices such as relays and switch breaks, and usually accounts on informatics systems such as the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA) (Lehtonen 1998).


The Fylde coast around Blackpool in the UK has historically struggled to meet European standards for bathing water quality. Following the installation of significant surface water storage volumes underground in Blackpool, which partly solved the problem, the Fylde Peninsula Water Management Group was set up to help address the problems and find integrated solutions for surface water pollution in the area. This work summarises an investigation which developed a GIS based screening tool to identify locations at which sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) could be retrofitted. The purpose was to remove water from the combined sewer network, thereby reducing pressure on a system running at capacity and reducing the number of times per year that the combined sewer network spilled into the bathing water areas. The screening tool utilised standard and readily available datasets, and considered a range of parameters to quantitatively assess and rank sites across the 1,900km 2 study area. The shortlisted, ranked sites were then manually checked, and a traffic light system of indicative installation and maintenance costs was applied. This data was presented to the Fylde Peninsula Water Management Group who used it to identify priority locations to be taken forward for detailed SUDS design as exemplar sites.


The main aim of learning a foreign language is the development of students foreign language communicative competence which will allow them to integrate as much as possible into the international professional community. This is an important condition for the social adaptation of students to modern life. In the context of the transition from a knowledge-based approach to teaching to a competency-based approach, a change in value orientations, the teacher needs new methods and technologies that allow the teacher to identify the student's knowledge, update it, add what is missing, structure the training material, and teach not only to remember and reproduce, but put them into practice. Methods that organize learning through desire, stimulate students' learning and natural curiosity, motivate interest in the independent acquisition of knowledge. The article deals with the role and importance of applying a new "competence-based approach" in the formation and developing students' intercultural and communicative competence in teaching foreign language. The authors give explanations to such concepts as "competence" and "competency", as well as "competence approach".


Electricity is produced and delivered to customers through different steps; generation, transmission and distribution. First of all, before electricity can be delivered, it needs to be generated. The requirements that are placed on today's grid are changing. Traditional power flows from power stations to the nearest big city are giving way to more complex patterns. To meet the demand of growing consumption and power trading is that power must increasingly be transported over large distances. This overload conditions are usually result in Congestion. It may be alleviated by incorporating line capacity constraints in the dispatch and scheduling process. This may involve re-dispatch of generation or load curtailment. Other possible means for relieving congestion are operation of phase-shifter or implementation of Flexible A.C transmission system (FACTS) devices. Here in this paper congestion management methodology and optimal location of Thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) in transmission lines is explained.


This perspective-research paper addresses the view that government support of research violates free market principles. It defines "entrepreneurial energy" to provide a perspective for identifying the stages that an innovation passes through before creating value, uses descriptive economics to distinguish between the innovation's public and private good stages, and concludes that free market principles call for publicly funded research to play a central and complementary role with privately funded research. This conclusion is tested through analyses of the electronics and the biotechnology industries. National Science Foundation data suggests that private innovation is likely to decline in response to recent trends in government support of research.


Banana has an important purpose as the source of vitamins, minerals, and other substances in supporting nutritional adequacy. However, there is an obstacle in the supply chain of banana from producers to consumers with prime quality because of the nature of banana which is perishable. Therefore, it is necessary to implement any mean to delay the ripening of banana so that the process can be inhibited and the quality of banana maintained, among which is the fruit skin surface coating technology. The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate material and concentration of botanical hydrocolloid to delay ripening of bananas. This research was conducted in November to December 2014 in the Agronomy Laboratory of University of Mercu Buana Yogyakarta. The research is a single factor experiment arranged in a completely randomized design with three replications. The treatments tested were both hydrocolloid material of seaweed (Euchema spinosum) concentration of 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and grass jelly (Stephania hernandifolia) with concentration of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%. The result showed that based on either the percentage of fruit weight loss, fruit skin discoloration, hardness (texture), or total dissolved solids, the grass jelly hydrocolloid with the concentration of 7.5% is the best application in delaying the ripening of banana. The coating of banana with grass jelly hydrocolloid concentration of 7,5% is capable of inhibiting ripening of bananas for 11 days.


This paper proposed a multiple-mode animal behavior analysis system integrating a wireless bio-potential recorder and two 120fps video streams. A 16-channel analog-front-end (AFE) featuring a chopper low noise amplifier (LNA) and a 12-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) is designed as the sensor interface. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based in-the-air protocol is implemented for wireless data transmission. A precise synchronization method is proposed featuring a millisecond level synchronization accuracy between the video frames and the acquired bio-potential. The compact wireless bio-potential recorder features a size of 2 × 2.5 × 1cm and a battery life of 9 hours. In-vivo test has been performed on rats with long-term implantable electrodes. The proposed system successfully recorded the electroneurogram (ENG) signal from sciatic nerves and electromyography (EMG) signal from leg muscles. Also video-based gait analysis was performed and provided the labels to train an EMG-based gait phase classifier.


The development of Nd,Cr:GSGG has progressed rapidly over the past few years. Two inch diameter and larger boules have been grown core free with flat interfaces. The early problems of attaining low loss at 1.06 μm, the cost and availability of scandium, and growth problems have been alleviated. The crystal composition and trace impurities in starting materials must be controlled rigidly. Active laser testing of 1/4 x 3 inch rods has demonstrated slope efficiencies of greater than 7%. Wavefront distortions at 1.06μm with a Zygo interferometer are A/4 PV along [111] for 3 inch lengths or comparable to Nd:YAG. Loss factors at 1.06Pm are typically <0.006 cm-1 or several times that of the best Nd:YAG. This may be caused by impurities, crystal quality, or intrinsic loss of the gallium garnets. The size of present boules has yielded 1/4 x 4 inch cylindrical rods and 6 x 20 x 100 mm3 slabs. These may possess growth striae which introduce a noticeable birefringence when viewed normal to the growth axis. Striae can be minimized by more stringent temperature control but their effects are governed by the stress optic coefficients. The latter must be measured accurately. The growth of 2 inch boules is discussed along with problems associated with the growth of larger crystals.


Concern about rising rates of obesity has prompted searches for its genetic risk determinants in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Most genetic variants that contribute to the increased risk of a given trait are probably regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, identifying plausible regulatory SNPs is difficult because of their varied locations relative to their target gene and linkage disequilibrium, which makes most GWAS-derived SNPs only proxies for many fewer functional SNPs. We developed a systematic approach to prioritizing GWAS-derived obesity SNPs using detailed epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis in adipose tissue vs. heterologous tissues. From 50 obesity-related GWAS and 121,064 expanded SNPs, we prioritized 47 potential causal regulatory SNPs (Tier-1 SNPs) for 14 gene loci. A detailed examination of seven of these genes revealed that four (CABLES1, PC, PEMT, and FAM13A) had Tier-1 SNPs that might regulate alternative use of transcription start sites resulting in different polypeptides being generated or different amounts of an intronic microRNA gene being expressed. HOXA11 and long noncoding RNA gene RP11-392O17.1 had Tier-1 SNPs in their 3' or promoter region, respectively, and strong preferences for expression in subcutaneous vs. visceral adipose tissue. ZBED3-AS1 had two intragenic Tier-1 SNPs, each of which might contribute to mediating obesity risk through modulating long-distance chromatin interactions. We conclude that prioritization of regulatory SNP candidates should focus on their surrounding epigenetic features in a trait-relevant tissue. Our approach not only revealed especially credible novel regulatory SNPs, but also helped evaluate previously highlighted obesity GWAS SNPs that were candidates for transcription regulation.

L APPRENTISSAGE (apprenticeship) usually seems to leave indelible impressions in the minds of the people who have been subjected to it. I realized this myself only recently when, in the autumn of 1987, I was asked to write a report on research which had been financially supported by the Conseil du Patrimoine ethnologique (Council for Ethnological Heritage) of the French Ministry of Culture in the field of la culture technique (technological culture?).' Almost none of the sixty or so books, papers, brochures, and unpublished documents I had to read for this occasion was specifically devoted to apprenticeship. But quite a few alluded to it in terms suggesting that the subject had come to the authors rather than the other way round-that is, unexpectedly for them. Chance meetings like that are not uncommon in research. But nevertheless, I found it rather strange, and perhaps disturbingly so, that so many authors claiming to belong to ethnology and whose works were meant to be useful for preserving les savoir-faire menaces (endangered know-how) could be so unprepared to meet apprenticeship as a topic of interest in their fieldwork. I include myself in this criticism, since before working on my report, I was as unprepared and naive as anybody else about the matter. These thoughts were duly expressed in the report I wrote, and for once there was a follow-up, since a seminar on the theme Savoir faire et pouvoir transmettre (Knowing how to do and being able to transmit) was organized in January 1990.2 The idea was that if ethnologists could be relied upon to describe techniques, more than that was necessary. For technographic descriptions tell us how people do things,3 or at least how people are seen to do things; but, with the exception of some of the simplest tasks, they do not enable us to do those same things ourselves. Now, this is exactly the kind of solution that people in charge of preserving "endangered knowhow" would love to have at their disposal. How convenient if disappearing crafts and arts could be filed and stored on shelves like books and archives! (A dream, by the way, that is not restricted to some museum keepers.) Unfortunately or not, however, such a


This study provides an overview of instrument for introduction and operation of Living Wage that are currently available in Seoul. There are some reasons why we introduce Living Wage. First, several difference exist between income and wages to each person and family. Second, minimum wage has many limitation to low-wage workers. Finally, Living Wage affects all workers who apply it. This research includes the necessity of introduction of Living Wage, case study of Living Wage in Korea and overseas, calculating mechanism of Living Wage for Seoul metropolitan, policy suggestions for operation of Living Wage etc. We introduce some case studies in Nowon-gu, Seongbuk-gu, Bucheon-si and People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy in Korea. Also we take a look at some overseas cases including London in United Kingdom, New Zealand, the United States of America. Each case has characteristics of calculation, standard and application of Living Wage. These case studies are utilized for calculation and application of a Living Wage in Seoul metropolitan. Thereafter we propose four alternatives of calculating method of Living Wage for Seoul metropolitan. Four alternatives of calculating method of Living Wage are as follows:earned income-based, household income-based, household expenditure-based, the minimum cost of living-based. We propose that a Living Wage in Seoul based on won per hour is 5,980(earned income-based), 6,448 (household income-based), 6,249(household expenditure-based), 6,116(the minimum cost of living-based). And this study adopts pilot case in Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation(SMFMC). After studying this pilot case, we conclude that it is not much the budget commitment about operation of Living Wage in SMFMC. And this study considers about Living Wage Calculator in Seoul metropolitan similar to that of United States of America. This study proposes how the current Living Wage policy adopted in Seoul metropolitan Government. The basic directions of adoption of Living Wage in Seoul are 'Living Wage as the family wage', 'easy-to-run', 'whole introduction after carrying out some pilot project', 'form a social consensus', 'establish an ordinance' etc. The operation of Living Wage takes three steps that review the introduction stage, prepare the introduction stage and practice stage. In implementing Living Wage in Seoul metropolitan, main agents are Seoul metropolitan Government, Seoul Institute, Seoul metropolitan Government-affiliated organization and the Seoul City Council.


Fingerprints are a great source for identification of individuals. Fingerprint recognition is one of oldest forms of biometric identification. However finding a good fingerprint image is not always easy. So the fingerprint image must be pre-processed before matching. The objective of this thesis is to present a better and enhanced fingerprint image. We have studied the factors relating to obtaining high performance feature points detection algorithm, such as image quality, separation, image enhancement and feature detection. Commonly used features for increasing fingerprint image quality are Fourier spectrum energy and local orientation. Accurate separation of fingerprint ridges from noisy background is necessary. For effective enhancement and feature extraction algorithms, the segmented features must be void of noise. A pre-processing method consisting of field orientation, ridge frequency estimation, filtering, segmentation and enhancement is performed. The resultant image is applied to a thinning algorithm and subsequent minutiae extraction. The methodology of image pre-processing and minutiae extraction is discussed. The simulations are done in the MATLAB environment to evaluate the performance of the implemented algorithms. Results and observations of fingerprint images are presented at the end. KeywordsFingerprinting, pattern recognition, feature extraction, minutia details, analysis of fingerprints.

IR revolves around evaluation. Therefore, IR researchers should employ sound evaluation practices. Nowadays many of us know that statistical significance testing is not enough, but not all of us know exactly what to do about it. This paper provides suggestions on how to report effect sizes and confidence intervals along with p-values, in the context of comparing IR systems using test collections. Hopefully, these practices will make IR papers more informative, and help researchers form more reliable conclusions that "add up." Finally, I pose a specific question for the IR community: should IR journal editors and SIGIR PC chairs require (rather than encourage) reporting of effect sizes and confidence intervals.


The head-related transfer function (HRTF) depends on head, torso, and ear geometry of an individual and typically measured in an anechoic chamber using an HRTF measurement apparatus. This is referred to as the individualized HRTF. In many applications, an HRTF corresponding to an average human head is measured on dummy also called genericHRTFs. Prior research has shown that personalized HRTF gives significantly better performance over the generic HRTF for a static listener. However, these studies were limited to only static listeners where the listener's head is fixed during stimuli presentation. In case of dynamic listeners, the head motion enables the listeners to perceive additional spectral cues resulting due to head motion. In the present study, we compare the performance of personalized vs. generic HRTFs for a dynamic listener. We quantify the localization performance of each listener with both individualized and non-individualized HRTFs (virtual conditions) and compare it against their ground truth...

A two-stage clustering method is proposed to construct the driving cycle of garbage truck.In this method,first the concept of kinematics interval is put forward to describe segment's instantaneous characteristics,upon which an advanced hierarchical clustering is carried out.Second,proper segments are chosen from each category according to the results of the second stage clustering.Finally,the representative driving cycle is fitted out.The proposed method is applied to construct driving cycles of a typical garbage truck in Xi'an City.For comparison a driving cycle is also constructed using traditional clustering method,actual driving cycle is measured and error analysis is carried out.Results show that compared to the traditional clustering method,the two-stage clustering method can improve the probability distribution of speed by 59.4%,the probability distribution of acceleration by 81.7%,and the joint probability distribution of speed-acceleration by 22.4%.


A Blockchain is basically a decentralized, distributed ledger of all the transactions or events which takes place within a network that involves multiple parties. The transactions that happen are anonymous hence it has very high level of security. Any transaction that takes place is verified by all the members present in the chain. However, there are some drawbacks as well like scalability. This technology can be used in different areas and one of them is the travel industry which can change the whole transaction dynamics of the traditional way the travel sector works. This paper will give the outline or an idea of the underlining concepts about this new technology and how it can be used in travel industry.


In recent year the advanced micro-electronics techniques leads to the progress of industrial robotic manipulators. Direct digital control of manipulators is one of the most promising applications of this new generation of computers. Improved control techniques are required for the digital control to attain a fine performance on manipulators. This paper proposes a software servo control system for linear quadratic optimal control with I-action (LQI control) for a good performance over a wide range of motion and payloads. The effectiveness of this control system is demonstrated in several simulation and experimental results.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of hypocalcemia in severe acu te pancreatitis (SAP). Methods The model of rat SAP was developed by intradutal injection sodium taurocholate. Ninety male Sprague-Daw ley rats were divided into sham operation group (n=28), SAP group(n=28), sham operation therapy group (n=16), SAP therapy group (n=18). The rats in the therapy group were treated by int ravenous infusion of rat parathyroid hormone (ratPTH) and human parathyroid horm one related peptide (hPTHrP) respectively. Expression of parathyroid hormone rec eptor mRNA (PTHRmRNA) in the rat bone was detected by RT-PCR. The effects of PTH and PTHrP on the level of serum calcium and ionic calcium were also measure d. Results The serum calcium level in the SAP rats was (1.98±0.23)mmol/L and (1.76±0.16) mmol/L, the ionic calcium level (0.93±0.1 6)mmol/L and (0.75±0.14) mmol/L respectively 12 and 48 h after SAP onset. As compared with sham operation groups, the levels of serum calcium and ionic calcium in the SAP rat s were significantly decreased (P0.01). Compared to sham operation groups, expression of PTHRmRNA in bone of the rats with SAP was significantly decrease d (P0.01). The levels of serum calcium and ionic calcium of the rats with SAP were not significantly increased after intravenous infusion of PTH/PTHrP. Conclusion The decreased expression o f PTHRmRNA in bone may contribute to the cause of hypocalcemia in SAP.


We have observed that at certain levels of laser power, an argon ion laser oscillates in only two strong modes. The frequency difference between these two modes is an integer multiple of the cavity fundamental beat frequency and increases with the laser power. Analysis of this effect shows that pulses from such a laser are 0.3π rather than π pulses.


Extensive measurements of noise figure have been made on diffused silicon and diffused germanium transistors intended for use as high-frequency amplifiers. The measurements serve the twofold purpose of providing an adequate characterization of the devices for circuit designers and of permitting a comparison to be made with existing theory. Although data have been obtained at suitably spaced frequencies extending from 1 kc to 150 mc, emphasis will be placed on shot noise rather than on the excess noise component which is significant only at frequencies below 1 mc. The dependence of the noise figure on source resistance, current and frequency will be discussed from the point of view of obtaining optimum circuit performance.

The D:A:D study group reported a 1.9‐fold increased relative risk (RR) of myocardial infarction (MI) associated with current or recent use of abacavir. The number needed to harm (NNH) incorporates information about the underlying risk of MI and the increased RR of MI in patients taking abacavir.


After weaving through a myriad of legal and educational analyses whilst engaged with this book, I was left with two divergent viewpoints. On the one hand, this book represents an impressive portrait of educational law as well as education and the law, and on the other it confirms the growing dominance of the juridical discourse in almost every aspect of our lives brought about by the weakness of the political public sphere. In fact, the authors acknowledged that they needed to focus on six themes and thus a vast body of knowledge, regulatory frames and practices are not considered. However the themes, which range from school choice to school fees, have been well chosen and cover some of the pertinent questions in educational law.


The assessment of emergent global behaviors of self-organizing applications is an important task to accomplish before employing such systems in real scenarios, yet their intrinsic complexity make this activity still challenging. In this paper we present a logic language used to verify graph-based global properties of self-organizing systems at run-time. The logic language extends a chemical-based coordination model based on logic inference recently proposed. The logic formulae defined by using the language operators depict the intended global spatial properties arising from local interactions among components. Logic formulae are evaluated in a distributed manner by using an inference procedure which checks them against the current global state of the system, verifying whether the intended emergent global behavior actually appears in the system. As examples of spatial properties we consider color patterns: at first we show how to verify specified patterns of identified colors in sets of nodes directly connected, then we present other formulae verifying the appearance of global patterns of colors without specifying the colors themselves. We conclude the examples with the computation of mathematical functions, like the verification of the existence of a maximum value in a specific node of the system.

As the evidence strengthens for percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), the debate regarding the method of arterial closure grows. The use of suture-mediated closure devices has been advocated as maintaining the true percutaneous nature of the procedure but still has recognized failure rates and incurs significant additional costs. The fascia suture technique reported over 15 years ago by Diethrich has remained quiescent until recent years, although it avoids deep groin dissection and offers a highly cost effective closure. In the last few years, 2 groups have presented concurring data on early outcomes, identifying the fascia suture technique as a safe and efficacious technique. However, the incidence of pseudoaneurysm formation reported in these studies has been concerning. Two recent articles in JEVT by Montán et al. and Mathisen and colleagues explore the implications of preoperative variables, early complications, and in particular midterm pseudoaneurysm formation associated with the fascia suture technique. Despite their retrospective design, the data remain a significant contribution to the current evidence base and further support the technique. Considering the current literature, and with particular reference to these latest publications, there are several important points worthy of comment. Montán et al. state that there were no anatomical exclusion criteria in their series but recognized that caution should be taken with regard to specific morphological features. A high common femoral artery bifurcation may dictate an arterial puncture under the inguinal ligament that involves an artery devoid of adequate fascial covering and taking a course deep into the pelvis, negating any attempt at tamponade from the suture through the overlying tissue. Such a situation may be considered a relative contraindication, a view supported by Harrison et al. Open cutdown following successful percutaneous EVAR should be undertaken in such cases. Similarly, Montán et al. did not find the thickness of fat overlying the femoral artery to compromise the success of the technique. The interquartile range of this fat layer was 20 to 38 mm, and it may be that this relatively small series of patients did not include a large population with obesity (body mass index .35 kg/m). Subjectively, the procedure is easier on slimmer patients, and, indeed, their p value (0.08) could suggest a potential association between failure and obesity. Again, the surgeon may opt for a more formal method of closure in such patients on an individual basis. The literature agrees that the placement of the arterial puncture is critical in effecting a reliable fascia closure. Low puncture in the superficial femoral or profunda femoris arteries may cause a stenosis, while the potential for retroperitoneal hemorrhage following high puncture has already been suggested. Puncture in the mid common femoral artery, avoiding significant disease, is important, but the method has not yet been standardized.

Examined in this article, is the philosophical foundation of the 'National [Citizen] Movement,' which was essentially a movement that promoted the founding of a new nation, led by organizations like the National Society for Rapid Realization of Korean Independence(大韓獨立促成國民會) and the National Society(國民會), bodies that served as an important political source of support for President Yi Seung Man since Korea's liberation from the Japanese occupation and up until the breakout of the Korean war. At the time, inside the group of promoters of the so-called 'National [Citizen] Movement' there were also people who chose to promote the movement with a systemized program that included plans for training the movement leaders and restructuring the rural communities with those leaders at the helm. The Choi Tae Yong group was the most representative example of such efforts, hence in this article the nature of this Choi Tae Yong's philosophy is most heavily examined. In order to determine the intellectual basis of the National [Citizen] Movement that Choi Tae Yong's group also suggested and supported, first the characteristics of Choi's thinking are examined, as well as the changes that such thoughts went through since the 1920s. It is determined that he responded keenly to all the intellectual trends that diversely emerged inside Japan at the time, and it seems that he was heavily influenced by the philosophy of the Kyoto School, headed by renowned figures such as Nishida Kitaro, considering his actions during his political career since Korea's liberation from Japan. After the liberation, all the figures who followed Choi Tae Yong and actively involved themselves in the South Korean National [Citizen] Movement, continued to iterate the importance of 'overcoming modernity' and 'determining the ultimate philosophy that was behind the globe's history,' which were also issues voiced and emphasized by the Kyoto school members since the latter half of the 1930s. Yet Choi and his associates added new elements to such previous Japanese arguments as well. With a new kind of orders inside and outside the country established, such as all those domestic conflicts and not to mention the international Cold war, they argued that the task of founding a new 'Republic of Korea' comes with the ultimate missions of 'building a country with a world perspective' and also 'overcoming the Cold war at the same time,' missions of which the outcome could make significant contributions to the history of the world. They also argued that a new group of entities that would lead such mission should be established. They suggested that all the 'modern people,' burdened with private and civilian interests and agendas of their own, should be cast aside and a new type of figures, rather public-oriented figures determined in nation-guarding, be educated and bred. As we can see, they argued that all the ideological conflicts and clashes among Koreans should be stopped and overcome, while they critically labeled Liberalism, Democracy, Communism as all mere products of modernity. Yet at the same time, their main antagonist and target of attack was ultimately the Communist faction. They wanted to reconfigure the ideological battleground inside the Korean society, under the name of 'overcoming' them, as such argument would provide the foundation movement of the Republic of Korea a new level of meaning that would transcend any other causes supported by any other ideologies. It was no other than an act of deliberately pioneering to promote and instigate antagonism and hostility, between domestic conflicts and the international Cold war status.

The Slc5a6 gene expresses the sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT), a membrane protein that transports the water‐soluble vitamin biotin, as well as pantothenic acid and lipoate. The contribution of SMVT toward total carrier‐mediated absorption of biotin in native intestine in vivo is not known, and thus, was examined using intestine‐specific SMVT knockout (KO) generated by a Cre/lox technology. KO mice showed lack of expression of SMVT in the intestine compared to sex‐matched littermates but showed normal expression in other tissues. Almost 2/3rd of the KO mice died prematurely (ages of 6 and 10 weeks). Growth retardation, decreased bone density, decreased bone length and decreased biotin status were all observed in the KO mice. Microscopic analysis showed histological abnormalities in the small bowel (shortened villi, dysplasia) and cecum (chronic active inflammation, dysplasia) of the KO mice; the colon showed similar changes to the cecum but to a less extend. In vivo uptake studies demonstrated complete inhibition in carrier‐mediated biotin uptake in the intestine of the KO mice. These studies provide the first in vivo confirmation in native intestine that SMVT is the sole carrier for biotin absorption. The studies also provide evidence for a casual association between functionality of the SMVT and normal intestinal health/homeostasis. [Supported by DVA and NIH, (DK58057 and DK56061)].


Objective To investigate the control of myopia progression in schoolchildren after wearing addition lens and single vision lens. Methods Two groups of myopia in schoolchildren ,aged from 8 to 14 years, were treated with addition lens(43 children) and single vision lens(39 children). Two groups were given Mydrin-P eye drops for mydriasis and optometry before and after 1 year with wearing different lens. The progression of myopia in 1 year was compared with t test between two groups. Results The mean progression of myopia in schoolchildren wearing addition lens was (-0.36±0.28)D after 1 year. The mean progression of myopia in schoolchildren wearing single vision lens was (-0.98±0.19)D after 1 year. There was significant difference between two groups(P﹤0.01). Conclusion Wearing addition lens in schoolchildren can relieve progression of myopia.


One difficulty of task-oriented grasp planning is task model ing. In this paper, a manipulation task was modeled by building a non-par ametric statistical distribution model from disturbance data captured during d emonstrations. This paper proposes a task-oriented grasp quality criterion based on istribution of task disturbance and uses the criterion to search for a grasp that covers the most significant part of the disturbance distribution. To reduce the co mputational complexity of the search in a high-dimensional robotic hand configurati on space, as well as to avoid a correspondence problem, the candidate grasps are computed from a reduced configuration space that is confined by a set of given thu mb placements and thumb directions. The proposed approach has been validated wi h a Barrett hand and a Shadow hand on several objects in simulation. The resul ting grasps in the evaluation generated by our approach increase the coverage of frequently-occurring disturbance rather than the coverage of a large area with a sc attered distribution.


PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing the re-employment of newly graduated nurses.

METHODS
A longitudinal design was employed. The participants in this online survey study were 138 newly graduated nurses who had left their first jobs. Data were collected from June 2019 to January 2020 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, t-tests, Cox's proportional hazards models with the IBM SPSS ver. 26.0 for Windows program.

RESULTS
About 76.1% of the participants were re-employed within one year of leaving their first jobs and the average period until re-employment was about 14 weeks. Cox's proportional hazards models revealed that factors affecting re-employment among newly graduated nurses were social support (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01~1.91; p = .042), job search efficacy (HR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.01~1.77; p = .047), and extrinsic outcome expectation (HR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.08~1.79; p = .010).

CONCLUSION
Social support, job search efficacy, and extrinsic outcome expectation can play a significant role in the re-employment of newly graduated nurses. It is necessary to establish strategies to enhance their social support, job search efficacy, and extrinsic outcome expectation in order to increase the re-employment of newly graduated nurses.


This paper describes a system that combines fixed stereo and active monocular cameras into a networked platform for security applications. Resembling the human oculomotor system, the goal is to cover wide areas and to focus on specific parts to provide high resolution images of people faces passing through a monitored area. An atomic configuration was implemented, and a custom pan-tilt unit was designed to allow fixed viewpoint calibration. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated with the results of preliminary experiments.


A cDNA clone of murine macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2) has been isolated from a library prepared from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and the nucleotide sequence determined. This cDNA was used to clone cDNAs for human homologues of MIP-2 from a library prepared from phorbol myristate acetate-treated and LPS- stimulated U937 cells. Two homologues were isolated and sequenced. Human MIP-2 alpha and MIP-2 beta are highly homologous to each other and to a previously isolated gene, human gro/melanoma growth- stimulating activity (MGSA). These three human genes, MIP-2 alpha, MIP- 2 beta, and gro/MGSA, constitute a sub-family within the cytokine family represented by platelet factor 4 and interleukin 8.

This paper discusses the synchronization and anti-synchronization of new uncertain hyperchaotic systems. Based on the idea of active control, a novel active pinning control strategy is presented, which only needs a state of uncertain new hyperchaotic systems. The proposed controller can achieve synchronization and anti-synchronization between a response system and a drive system, and ensure the synchronized robust stability of uncertain new hyperchaotic systems. Numerical simulations of new hyperchaotic systems show that the controller can make chaotic systems achieve synchronization or anti-synchronization in a quite short period and both are of good robust stability.


III-Nitride micropillar structures show great promise for applications in micro light-emitting diodes and vertical power transistors due to their excellent scalability and outstanding electrical properties. Typically, III-Nitride micropillars are fabricated through a top-down approach using reactive ion etch which leads to roughened, non-vertical sidewalls that results in significant performance degradation. Thus, it is essential to remove this plasma etch induced surface damage. Here, we show that potassium hydroxide (KOH) acts as a crystallographic etchant for III-Nitride micropillars, preferentially exposing the vertical<1-100>m-plane, and effectively removing dry etch damage and reducing the structure diameter at up to 36.6 nm/min. Both KOH solution temperature and concentration have a dramatic effect on this wet etch progression. We found that a solution of 20% AZ400K (2% KOH) at 90 C is effective at producing smooth, highly vertical sidewalls with RMS surface roughness as low as 2.59 nm, ideal for high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices.


In this paper, the Optical and Semiconductor properties of epitaxial thin films of Fe<inf>2−x</inf>Ti<inf>x</inf>O<inf>3-δ</inf>, deposited on SrTiO<inf>3</inf> (001) by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are studied. We use Perlin Elmer 9500 spechtrophotometer in order to measure the optical transmission and reflection. The prepared films using oxygen pressure PO2 above 3 ∗ 10<sup>−7</sup> Torr, presents a R(3) symmetry structure. The prepared samples present a deficiency δ = 0.35. The optical properties show a very important dependence with the oxygen cation stoichiometry. These last properties, which are dominated by the oxygen deficiency obtained during the growth of thin films, show a semiconductor behavior where the conductivity increase more with S than by the atomic ordering of titanium.


The concept that extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) may be used to successfully fragment urinary calculi in a noninvasive manner has revolutionized the management of urolithiasis. Complications of this procedure are usually limited to the kidneys and almost always resolve spontaneously. Whereas subcapsular renal hematomas have been present in up to 15% of patients in radiological studies, hepatic hematomas have been reported only anecdotally and, to our knowledge, no case of infected hepatic hematoma has been previously described. The authors [...]


This contribution presents complimentary mineralogical and whole-rock chemical data for the Mullnäset rapakivi massif. Three rock types occur: gabbro, syenite with associated granite and "normal" rapakivi granite, here denoted rapakivi-textured granite. In the syenite-associated granite, extremely Mg-poor clinopyroxene and fayalite are the most important mafic minerals, whereas ferrohornblende and strongly chloritized biotite are most important in the rapakivi-textured granite. All mafic minerals are Fe-extreme. The two rapakivi granites are metaluminous straddling the boundary between calc-alkaline and alkaline granite, whereas the neighbouring, older Sörvik granite is peraluminous and typically calc-alkaline. The Mullnäset rapakivi granite is A-type. It is lower in incompatible trace elements than the Sörvik granite. The HFSE patterns differ between the two granites. In both the rapakivi and Sörvik granites, Archaean rocks form part of the source rocks. The Archaean input seems to be more important in the Mullnäset (and other rapakivi granites from the same general area) granite than in the Sörvik granite. No data contradict the suggested formation of rapakivi granite magma: upwelling mantle melts under a thickened continental crust triggering melting of the continental crust.

Communities are prevalent in social networks, knowledge graphs, and biological networks. Recently, the topic of community search (CS) has received plenty of attention. Given a query vertex, CS looks for a dense subgraph that contains it. Existing CS solutions do not consider the spatial extent of a community. They can yield communities whose locations of vertices span large areas. In applications that facilitate the creation of social events (e.g., finding conference attendees to join a dinner), it is important to find groups of people who are physically close to each other. In this situation, it is desirable to have a spatial-aware community (or SAC), whose vertices are close structurally and spatially. Given a graph G and a query vertex q, we develop exact solutions for finding an SAC that contains q. Since these solutions cannot scale to large datasets, we have further designed three approximation algorithms to compute an SAC. We have performed an experimental evaluation for these solutions on both large real and synthetic datasets. Experimental results show that SAC is better than the communities returned by existing solutions. Moreover, our approximation solutions can find SACs accurately and efficiently.

This paper is inclined to introduce the water quality evaluation of Heyuan reach,Dongjiang River,by using the single factor water quality identification index,based on the annual mean water quality monitoring statistics data obtained during the period from2001 to 2012.For our investigation purpose,we have chosen the total of 5 observation and monitoring sections of the river,i.e.Xinfengjiang Reservoir,Fengshuba Reservoir,Longchuan Gate section,Linjiang section and Jiangkou section.While considering the four indexes,such as those of ammonia nitrogen(NH+4-N),the total nitrogen(TN),the total phosphorus(TP) and the chemical oxygen demand(COD),we calculated the single factor water quality identification index(Pi) in accordance with the Chinese national surface water environmental quality standard(GB 3838—2002).At the same time,we have worked out the changing trend of the water quality of the above mentioned part of Dongjiang River.The results of our investigation indicated that during the period from 2001 to 2012,the water quality of the two reservoirs can be categorized into the first and second grades of the standard system,whereas the part of TN in Fengshuba Reservoir was found to belong to grade III of the standard system in 2012.At the same time,we have measured the section Pi value of the following four indexes,i.e.TN,NH+4-N,TP and CODMnof Heyuan reach,the main stream of Dongjiang River,which also belong to gradeⅠandⅡof the above standard.However,the TN was found variable between grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ of the said standard at different temporal and spatial points.In addition to the water quality investigation,we have also made a discussion of the pollution risk of the part of the river,which shows that,although the general water quality situation of the Heyuan reach of the Dongjiang River can be regarded as being normal after the analysis of changing trend,the potential pollution risk of nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P)should not be neglected,especially in downstream part.Furthermore,the spatial testing analysis of NH+4-N and TP flux contribution rate also reveals more serious pollution risk in the downstream water than in the upstream water.


The reaction of nineteen different cultivars of Cucurbita spp. including Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita maxima and Lagenaria siceraria to Phytophthora capsici, Phytophthora melonis and Phytophthora drechsleri was studied under greenhouse conditions. Plants were grown in steam sterilized soil. One-month-old plants were inoculated with vermiculate hempseed extract inocula of Phytophthora and were flooded for 24 hours. The activity of the pathogens was monitored during the experiment by using citrus leaf discs. Seedling mortality was monitored two months after inoculation. None of the species were infected with P. drechsleri or P. melonis. Cucurbita maxima cultivars Hamedan and ACE South Korea, C. pepo cultivar Shabestar and Lagenaria siceraria were not infected with P. capcisi. The possibility of using these cultivars as root stocks for grafting against Phytophthora species is discussed.

A computer controlled ventilation system was employed to maintain a constant end-expired CO2 percentage (F E CO2) during a series of studies on young dogs aimed at measuring brain temperature differences during surface cooling hypothermia. The conclusion is that an F E CO2 of six per cent or more is desirable if brain temperature differences are to be minimized. Additional experiments showed that ethyl alcohol and sodium nitroprusside infusions during cooling did not decrease brain temperature differences.


There is a modal relative of Euthyphro's dilemma that goes like this: are necessary truths true because God affirms them, or does God affirm them because they're true? If you accept the first horn, necessary truths are as contingent as God's free will. If you accept the second, God is less ultimate than the modal ontology that establishes certain truths as necessary. If you try to split the horns by affirming that necessary truths are somehow grounded in God's nature, Brian Leftow meets you with an argument. I will argue that Leftow's argument fails and that, contrary to his argument, there is a good reason to believe that necessary truths are grounded in God's nature.

This paper introduces flexible dynamics into the equations of motion for an SR-71 model. An additive beam describes the elastic mode shape by superimposing multiple uniform beams so as to account for varying fuselage stiffness. The aerodynamic lift and moment coefficients are formulated to account for the dynamics of the elastic mode in the equations of motion. The resulting nonlinear aerodynamic coefficient functions are determined along with rigid body and structural terms by a parameter estimation algorithm operating on flight data. Simulated responses of this model to pilot stick inputs closely match measured flight data responses.


Acoustic metasurfaces with subwavelength unit cells modulating the phase of sound wave were developed to realize beam forming, steering, focusing, and recently carpet cloaking. However, these metasurfaces were used for small phase gradient applications and the ability to cloak or mimic reflection surfaces with rapid change profiles remained unexplored. Here, we analytically and experimentally investigate the effect of rapid change in-plane phase gradient on the design of acoustic metasurfaces for carpet cloaking and diffusing applications. Helmholtz resonators with different neck radii are used to form the ultrathin metasurface in our study. The variation of neck radius of the Helmholtz resonator results in different reflection phase of acoustic wave. In both analytical and experimental results, the large in-plane phase gradient does not affect the carpet cloak design, which is solely depending on the phase correction of the local profile height. On the contrary, the impedance mismatch resulted from the r...


is far from conclusive as to whether there is always a deity understood or not: in many cases we do know of a deity, though some might be added by way of rationalization, and at least one case goes back to the Twelve Tables (puer divis parentum sacer esto, Festus 260L): on the other hand Festus 424L certainly seems to be discussing the homo sacer without specification of any god and Servius (ad Aen. vi, 609) quotes, again from the Twelve Tables, Patronus si clienti fraudem fecerit, sacer esto. F.'s discussion of the problem is sensible but it must be said that the outcome is quite negative, for she cannot explain either why the criminal should be consecrated to a god or how the word subsequently comes to mean evil. Another possibility which she rejects is that the homo sacer was originally sacrificed ; here she puts weight on the famous sentence of Festus 424L, Homo sacer is est quern populus iudicavit ob maleficium ; neque fas est eum immolari sed, qui occtdit, parricidi non damnatur, which she takes as a specific denial that the sacer was ever sacrificed ; but even if this is what Festus meant, he could not apparently prove it, for he cites in support the first Tribunician Law, which only shows that by the date of that law sacrifice had already been commuted to outlawry. This is one of the better sections of this diffuse book : there are others, e.g. interesting discussions of such topics as the rather mysterious group of words pins, piaculum and explore (pp. 331 ff.) or the famous problem of the origins of pontifex (pp. 161 ff.). It will be seen, however, that Mile. Fugier likes to work at the dangerous point where linguistics, history and general ideas meet; what is needed here is a clear and detached presentation of the facts and this is what she all too often fails to give. Thus, although discussion of sacer from various points of view recurs throughout the book, she nowhere collects the archaic evidence and nowhere offers a coherent history of the word's development. Again, she makes no apparent distinction between words for which there is archaic evidence, e.g. fas, and those for which there is none, such as numen (first in Accius, perhaps under Hellenistic influence, cf. Latte, Romische Religionsgeschichte (1960), 57, n. 2) or evenfelicitas (first in the SC for Africanus' triumph, if Cic, defin. iv, 22, be a quotation); of course, the silences prove nothing, but they must be remembered. Worse still, the plan of the whole work is esoteric and designed to present the picture for which the author is arguing, yet she has given no general index nor even an index verborum ; it is thus almost impossible to find particular subjects, let alone all the discussion on any one word. Nor is it only the presentation of evidence which is erratic, for her choice of it is sometimes even queerer ; thus, her account of the origins of fas and nefas (pp. 127 ff.) is based almost exclusively on the usage of Seneca's plays. Alas, this is not the only such eccentricity : but it will be a pity if it is only the vices of this book which attract notice.


The founding of Open University is not a simple rename,it must be aim for the true sense of the higher education organization,and break through the limited function of radio and TV university for many years.As a modern university,Open University should have all the basic functions——talent cultivation,scientific research and social service,in addition,it should adapt to the new requirements that the era given——cultural leading.Based on university function theory,this paper tries to analyze the function orientation of regional Open University,then the paths were chosen.


This paper considers the problem of testing many moment inequalities, where the number of moment inequalities ($p$) is possibly larger than the sample size ($n$). Chernozhukov et al. (2018) proposed asymptotic tests for this problem using the maximum $t$ statistic. We observe that such tests can have low power if multiple inequalities are violated. As an alternative, we propose a novel randomization test based on a maximum non-negatively weighted combination of $t$ statistics. Simulations show that the test controls size in small samples ($n = 30$, $p = 1000$), and often has substantially higher power against alternatives with multiple violations.


Simulation is a wellestablished tool within medical education, but in situ simulation (occurring within the learner ' s normal working environment) is less well investigated. This research team from Israel evaluated the impact of a combined intervention (simulation centrebased training and in situ simulated scenarios) on an emergency department team ' s management of trauma cases. They showed that simulation (including in situ training) improved a number of facets of patient management; the greatest gains identifi ed were in behavioural domains such as teamwork and communication.


The dropout represents one of the main problems of today higher education. Universities, aware of this reality, are sensitive to this concern. However, there are still dropout. In this research an alternative system proposed for institutional response to the needs of students. This is based on two main elements: the student interaction and new technological developments. In this research, the assessment of the effectiveness of a process e-tutoring and its contribution to the development of emotional aspects is proposed from the viewpoint of the participating students. The sample amounts to a total of fifty students. A questionnaire for the development of the objectives is designed. The results show the contributions of e-tutoring for the treatment of difficulties that can lead to the abandonment of studies specifically for the effectiveness of the response to them and to their contribution to the development of emotional aspects.


Summary This study analysed the results of nectar production, sugar concentration and calculated the sugar value of some sunflower hybrids in Hungary. The influence of the main climatic factors on the nectar production and sugar concentration was also studied. The experiment was carried out at two different sites in Hungary, in the Ecotoxicological Laboratory at Facankert and in the Institute for Small Animal Research at Godollo (samples were collected from Kerekharaszt, ABM-Gramina Ltd.). The average nectar production per flower was 0.12-0.21 mg at Facankert and 0.08-0.15 mg at Kerekharaszt. The refraction values were 44.8-59.0% and 45.7-61.3%. Honey bees visited the fields all day, even in the hot midday hours. From the beginning of the year, the precipitation was less and the temperature was higher at Kerekharaszt, thus, the nectar production was lower but more concentrated at this site. In the previous years in Hungary very low sunflower nectar collection of honey bees and honey yield was observed. However, the current results show that it did not directly relate to the


This paper presents a new conceptual approach to improve the operational performance of public bike sharing systems using pricing schemes. Its methodological developments are accompanied by experimental analyses with bike demand data from Capital Bikeshare program of Washington, DC. An optimized price vector determines the incentive levels that can persuade system customers to take bicycles from, or park them at, neighboring stations so as to strategically minimize the number of unbalanced stations. This strategy intentionally makes some unbalanced stations even more highly unbalanced, creating hub stations. This reduces the need for trucks and dedicated staff to carry out inventory repositioning. For smaller networks, a bilevel optimization model is introduced to minimize the number of unbalanced stations optimally. The results are compared with two heuristic approaches. One approach involves a genetic algorithm, while the second adjusts route prices by segregating the stations into different categories based on their current inventory profile, projected future demand, and maximum and minimum inventory values calculated to fulfill certain desired service level requirements. It is shown that the latter approach, called the iterative price adjustment scheme (IPAS), reduces the overall operating cost while partially or fully obviating the need for a manual repositioning operation.


Multiple heterogeneous robots can work together to execute complex tasks. Given multiple heterogeneous tasks and heterogeneous robots, the allocation of tasks to robots is a challenging optimization problem. Lots of methods have been proposed for the multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) problem. However, most existing methods only consider small-scale tasks without precedence constraints. Hence, this paper tracks the time-extended MRTA problem with large-scale cooperative tasks and precedence constraints, and proposes an efficient ant colony system (ACS) to solve the problem. In the proposed algorithm, we adopt a permutation with task-robot alliance pairs as the encode scheme to represent a feasible solution. A pheromone matrix is initialized by a hierarchical greedy strategy and iteratively updated to record historical experience. Heuristic information related to the optimization objective is also designed to help algorithm find better solutions according to the current state. Through combining pheromone and heuristic information, the ACS is able to search high-quality solutions from a global perspective. Experimental results on multiple problem instances are reported to show the advantage of the proposed method. The proposed ACS method can well solve the MRTA problem with large-scale cooperative tasks and precedence constraints.


In this study,a new quasi-sliding mode control method with static state output feedback has been applied for seismically excited building structures.The undue chattering effect,the major disadvantage of conventional sliding mode controller,have been removed by the new method.The paper proposes the quasi-sliding mode control law involving saturation function and involving relay function,and presents a method to design the switching surface.Finally,numerical simulations for MDOF(Multiple-Degree-of-Freedom) shear building model containing an active brace system are implemented.The simulation results show that the control method presented in this paper is quite effective: not only can it reduce the peak-response of the ground motion,but also it can avoid the undue chattering effect so as to ensure the system stable.


Introduction : The pathophysiology of overt stroke in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) is not well understood. However, a compromised cerebral hemodynamic environment, marked by elevated cerebral blood flow (CBF) and impaired cerebrovascular reserve are thought to play a critical role. Currently, stroke prevention is based on chronic transfusion therapy (Tx). However, Tx suffers from several complications including; iron overload, risk of infection, and hyperhemolysis reactions. Hydroxyurea (HU) is a well-tolerated myelosupressive agent, which increases fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and is being tested as an alternative to Tx for primary stroke prevention in children with SCA. However, it is currently not clear how either Tx or HU treatment compare with respect to their effects on the precarious hemodynamic environment in children with SCA. Therefore, we assessed cerebrovascular reserve by obtaining MR-based measures of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), defined as the change in blood flow in response to a vasoactive stimulus. Considering that HU and Tx both act to dilute HbS and increase oxygen carrying capacity, we hypothesized that SCA children treated with HU and Tx will exhibit increased CVR and decreased CBF compared to age-matched, non-treated, SCA children. Methods : 21 SCA (HbSS) untreated SCA children (5M/16F; avg age 14.1 ± 2.42), 16 SCA children treated with HU (10M/6F; avg age 14.0 ± 2.49) and 7 patients on Tx (3M/4F ; avg age 13.0 ± 1.81) were recruited from the Haematology Department at The Hospital for Sick Children. Exclusion criteria were; history of overt stroke, vasoocclusive crises, and febrile illness within 30 days of the scan. CVR was obtained using a blood-oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI sequence in combination with a CO 2 breathing challenge. CO 2 was administered via a re-breathing mask in 4 alternating cycles of 40 mmHg P ET CO 2 for 60 seconds and 45 mmHg P ET CO 2 for 45 seconds. BOLD MRI signal changes were aligned and regressed against the CO 2 waveform on a voxel-wise bases using FSLv4.1 to yield the raw CVR maps. The CVR maps were then co-registered to anatomical images. CBF measurements were obtained using a pulsed arterial spin labeling (pASL) sequence and were quantified from the mean signal difference between the ASL tag and control images using a single compartment kinetic model. The Student9s t-test was used to test for significant differences between CVR, CBF, and blood parameters between the HU, Tx, and No Treatment groups. Blood parameters were obtained from complete blood counts. Results : Blood parameters are shown in Table 1.HU-treated SCA children exhibited significantly higher Hct and CVR in both the gray and white matter compared to the No Treatment group, with no significant differences in CBF. The Tx-treated SCA group exhibited higher Hct, CVR in the gray matter, and decreased CBF in both the grey and white matter compared to the No Treatment group (see Figure 1). Conclusions : Both the HU and Tx-treated SCA groups demonstrated significantly improved cerebrovascular reserve compared to the No Treatment group. The increase vascular reserve may be a result of HU and Tx decreasing the severity of anemia thereby reducing the baseline vessel tone necessary to sufficiently perfuse the cerebral tissue. CBF was significantly reduced in the Tx-treated group compared to the No Treatment group, which may be due to the higher oxygen content provided by Tx. Interestingly, CBF was not significantly different between the HU-treated and No Treatment group despite the HU-treated group having significantly greater hematocrit. This was surprising as a previous study using Doppler ultrasound (TCD) demonstrated that HU significantly reduces blood velocities (TCDv). However, unlike TCDv which are velocity measurements obtained at the large feeding arteries, pASL CBF values reflect perfusion at the tissue level. Further studies are required to fully compare TCDv and pASL measures of CBF as a means to monitor treatment effects in SCA patients. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.


High-resolution structures have shown that helix 69 (H69) of the large ribosomal subunit can assume variable conformational states during translation. Solution studies on small model RNAs, isolated subunits, and complete ribosomes also revealed a variety of H69 conformations. Specific nucleotides of H69 that undergo changes in their relative orientations within the ribosome structure play important roles in both translation and ribosome rescue. Furthermore, the presence of multiple pseudouridines influences the global conformational states of H69, and these highly conserved modifications play a role in regulating the positioning of key functional residues. Helix 69 has recently been identified as a novel antibiotic target site. Small molecules such as aminoglycosides bind to specific conformational states of H69 in bacterial ribosomes and affect the translation process. A variety of techniques have been employed to study H69, ranging from chemical synthesis to X-ray crystallography, highlighting the importance of a detailed evaluation of the underlying principles of RNA conformational dynamics and drug targeting.


It can be verified easily that f' is feasible under a TDMA scheme which uses the transmission sets S'andSij(i=l;..,k,j=l;..,k-l)eachfor6fractionof the time. Suppose that p is feasible under TDMA. Observe that any TDMA scheme under which f; is feasible must spend at least 1-6 fraction of the time in satisfying the traffic assignments on links in C. In the remaining 6 fraction of the time at least k links in Dk must be allowed to transmit simultaneously. This implies that,there exists a transmission set S' of G' with IS' n Dkl = k. By Lemma 4, there exists a transmission set S of G with IS (7 Dl = k. This completes the proof of the lemma and the NP completeness of FF. Define the total traffic rate associated with node x of a PRN G = (N,A) as R, = CysNrxy + CysNryx. R, is the minimum fraction of time node x is busv with receiving or transmittine messages which either originate at x or terminak at x. Clearly, i7 (G; it) is a YES instance of RF, then we must have R, I 1 for all x E N. The following algorithm makes use of this fact in reducing FF to RF.

Never-ending phishing threats on cyberspace motivate researchers to develop more proficient phishing classification models to survive a supreme cyber-security with safe web services. However, such achievements remain incompetent in their performance against novel phish attacks. This is attributed to the induction factors of the classification model itself such as hybrid feature space, inactive learning on up-to-date data flows, and limited adaptation to the evolving phish attacks. In this light, this paper surveys the current achievements, studies their limitations, restates what induction factors need to boost for a successful real-time application. Consequently, future outlooks are recommended on how to devote well-performed anti-phishing scheme.
