Abstract The purpose of this study is to figure out the application of perceived quality and authentication evaluation system of teaching materials and implements for children in the early childhood education field. To achieve this, a survey was carried out from April 20 to April 30, 2013 on 150 guidance teachers who teach children classes for more than 3 years at kindergartens in Daejeon area, Chungnam. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, for the use of teaching materials and implements, 96.1% of teachers thought the quality of teaching materials and implements in their interaction with children was important. Most of them had a high perception of the quantity and quality when using teaching materials and implements with early childhood curriculum. For the most inconvenience when using teaching implements, developmental appropriateness was the highest by 47.3%. And the convenience of the application to children was 3.54 points on average. Above this, the application of teaching implements to children when using play and teaching implements was useful by 3.89 points on verage. The current teaching materials and implements for children in the early childhood education field was normal by 3.29 points on average. Second, teachers' perception of teaching materials and implements was relatively positive by 3.99 points on average, proving that the quality of teaching materials and implements based on the application of teaching materials and implements to early children in kindergartens was very important. Consequently, considering the importance and usefulness of teaching materials and implements, it is necessary to introduce institutional policies that teaching materials and implements with quality standard and institution evaluation can introduce the evaluation authentication system to guarantee the convenience of children' safety and use by the supply of quality-guaranteed products.


This paper shows that with regard to spam control on mobile wireless phones, the interests of the industry and the consumer are aligned. Mobile wireless carriers should be expected to act in ways that protect the interest of consumers and the industry has proven to be a very efficient manager of spam. Despite self-serving claims to the contrary, regulatory intervention is unnecessary and value reducing.


Even though nuclear weapons have been around since 1945 the methodology of the maintenance of stable nuclear deterrence is still debated endlessly. The strategy to evolve a stable nuclear deterrence in a world in which nuclear weapons are synonymous with their deterrence capability, rather than their true war-fighting ability, is a continuous process and has been so for the last five decades. To many it would seem that since the large available nuclear weaponry in the world has never been used in any form of war-fighting after 1945, despite severe provocation (Cuban Missile crisis), umpteen threats (Kargil Conflict) and blackmails, this is proof enough that the deterrence philosophy has been successful to a large degree. Thus the use of nuclear weapons in their 'political weapon' manifestation rather than as 'military weaponry' has always been more acceptable to the world. In the Cold War era voluminous material was written on various aspects of nuclear deterrence. The entire nuclear debate revolved around the two superpower arsenals and their Massive Retaliation and MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) philosophies. The context of the deterrence asymmetry that was deemed to have existed at that time was seen entirely through stockpile levels of the two superpowers. The problems of deterrence asymmetry of the other Nuclear Weapon States (NWS) with respect to the superpowers was often glossed over. However, with the dissipation of the Cold War, challenges of the NWS in maintenance of deterrence stability became more acute as most of these states (except the United States and Russia) adopted a 'minimalist' or 'near minimalist' posture. The 'eternal question' of 'how much will provide credible strategic deterrence?' loomed large over the nuclear debate once again. This problem became complex with the rise of Nuclear Weapon Capable States like India that adopted the minimalist 'minimum credible deterrence' posture, and others like Pakistan and Israel, who were forced to keep their arsenals small due to numerous reasons. Thus the challenge for all these smaller nuclear forces essentially became one of managing a credible deterrence with their relatively small arsenals against a background of deterrence asymmetry between themselves and


It is no secret that governments of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries maintain a variety of practices that reduce the return on sales of innovative pharmaceuticals. To examine the effect of such practices on prices, revenues, innovation and, ultimately, on consumers, Congress directed the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a study, in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and U.S. International Trade Commission, of drug price controls in OECD member countries and the implications for American consumers.

The invention discloses a monitoring method of an environment in a vehicle and a system thereof. The monitoring method comprises the following steps of receiving image information of at least one predetermined area in the vehicle, wherein the information is collected by at least one camera in the vehicle; comparing each frame of picture in the image information in the same predetermined area so as to determine whether there is strenuous motion in the vehicle; if the image information is used to determine that there is the strenuous exercise in the vehicle, emitting an alarm signal. In the invention, when a sign of the strenuous motion in the vehicle is detected, alarm information can be sent to a vehicle owner or a correlation contact person so that the vehicle owner can return to the vehicle as soon as possible and a tragedy is avoided.


Plant breeding and breeding research are treated as a collective responsibility of public organisations and private enterprise. Tasks and responsibilities are described and the necessity for a division of tasks and cooperation between public and private sectors is indicated. The crucial importance of a two-way continuum between research and target groups is stressed. In order to formulate the correct research policy and to attain a continuous development of cooperation, the interaction between public and private breeding should be stimulated and organised. It is concluded that the optimal approach to plant breeding in public and private organisations is a joint approach with separate tasks.

of potential con fl icts of interest may be found at the end of this The promise of drug development in the era of targeted therapy is to deliver more effective and less toxic treatments to children with cancer [1]. In their systematic review of toxicity and outcomes of targeted therapy, Cohen et al. [2] report a pooled objective response rate of 15.3% across 109 pediatric phase I trials, a rate higher than that reported from similar studies conducted in prior eras. Very high ef fi cacy was observed in a minority of trials, dominated by agents directed at now well-validated targets expressed on leukemic lymphoblasts (CD19, CD22), or in Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias (bcr-abl). Encouragingly, two other agents with a remarkable degree of early phase ef fi cacy, crizotinib (ALK) for patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma and vandetanib (RET) for patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B associated medullary thyroid carcinoma, show great promise for treating pediatric cancers in which the fundamental driver of malignancy is well de fi ned or a ubiquitous surfaceome target is present. data reviewed, however, fl ect view targeted new agent development in children with cancer. In the new ef were suggest


Mammalian cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) are specialized to process developmental signals during immature stages and sound stimuli in adult animals. These signals are conveyed onto auditory afferent nerve fibres. Neurotransmitter release at IHC ribbon synapses is controlled by L‐type CaV1.3 Ca2+ channels, the biophysics of which are still unknown in native mammalian cells. We have investigated the localization and elementary properties of Ca2+ channels in immature mouse IHCs under near‐physiological recording conditions. CaV1.3 Ca2+ channels at the cell pre‐synaptic site co‐localize with about half of the total number of ribbons present in immature IHCs. These channels activated at about −70 mV, showed a relatively short first latency and weak inactivation, which would allow IHCs to generate and accurately encode spontaneous Ca2+ action potential activity characteristic of these immature cells. The CaV1.3 Ca2+ channels showed a very low open probability (about 0.15 at −20 mV: near the peak of an action potential). Comparison of elementary and macroscopic Ca2+ currents indicated that very few Ca2+ channels are associated with each docked vesicle at IHC ribbon synapses. Finally, we found that the open probability of Ca2+ channels, but not their opening time, was voltage dependent. This finding provides a possible correlation between presynaptic Ca2+ channel properties and the characteristic frequency/amplitude of EPSCs in auditory afferent fibres.


The surface-enhanced Raman scattering from dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) lipid molecules adsorbed on the silver electrode has been studied. The voltage-dependent Raman intensity reached a maximum at -1.2 Vsce. It was found that the intensity ratio for the vibrational modes at 1105 cm- and 1142 cm^(-1) underwent a transition at an applied voltage beyond -1.05 Vsce. As the observed Raman modes correspond to the trans and gauche structures of the acyl chain in the lipid molecules, it is suggested that DPPC adsorbed on the silver electrode has an order-disorder phase transition induced by the change of the applied voltage. The relative intensities of the Raman modes of the DPPC adsorbed on the electrode and dispersed in water were also compared. The results are discussed in terms of the relative position adsorbed at the silver surface.


Clemson's NSF-sponsored EXPerimental Engineering in Real-Time (EXPERT) project is designed to assess the efficacy of using real-time sensors in freshman engineering classes. We wish to determine if use of these devices enhances student understanding of both physical concepts and graphical representations of those phenomena. Where parallel activities can be designed (one set with and one set without real-time sensors), the relative performance of students conducting sensor-based laboratories will help isolate the pedagogical benefit of using the sensors. It is also clear that the sensors are particularly useful in cases where no parallel educational design can be devised—situations in which it is either not possible to collect enough data quickly without sensors or in which dynamic measurement can be used to provide additional information regarding even an apparently static problem. The use of sensors to measure rapidly changing quantities is well known, and marked the widespread


Multivalent oxide, CeOx has been formed at top or bottom of the Hf-Zr-O (HZO) layer by chemical solution deposition (CSD) to obtain ferroelectric properties of HZO layer. It is shown that the insertion of thin CeOx layer significantly enhances the ferroelectric properties of Y-doped HZO layer. It is found by transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation that CeOx(12 nm)/Y-HZO(33 nm) layered structure can be clearly fabricated by CSD process in spite of high temperature crystallization anneal at 800 oC.


Although the psychology of terrorism is far from a neglected subject, there is still much to learn. "Ordinary" criminals remain enigmatic but have proved a far more accessible population for research purposes. This article bridges the gap between the study of crime and contemporary terrorism by examining the parallels between the two. Significant similarities are shown to exist between terrorists and organized as well as low-level criminals, including activities performed and systems of social influence and organization. Processes of social identification are universally important to varying degrees; however, specific differences in identity may represent key distinguishing features between groups. Although further comparisons utilizing more restrictive samples are necessary, attention is drawn to the sometimes underutilized potential that criminological research holds to act as a point of reference for the investigation of terrorism.


The Macromolecular Chemistry group was established in the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya about twenty years ago as a joint venture with the Consejo Superior dc Investigaciones Cientificas, which has supported the group at various levels during this time. In this period about 230 publications have been produced and 41 students have obtained a PhD in the group. About 80%, of them are now in academic positions. The group concentrates in structural studies such as electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, calorimetry and, more specifically, in X-ray diffraction. Several generators provided with pinhole and low angle cameras are available. The most recent acquisition is a GX-21 rotating anode generator provided with a CAD4 automatic difractometcr. The main lines of endeavour are described below and a few xamples of our current work are given in the accompanying papers. [Butll. Soc. Cat .

A study was conducted to determine the effect of plot size (2.9 and 26 m 2 ), distance between plots (1.7 and 5.1 m), and pairing of cultivar plots (slow-mildewing cultivar paired with a susceptible cultivar or susceptible cultivar paired with a susceptible cultivar) on the development of powdery mildew of wheat in 1989 and 1990. Both plot size and cultivar pairing had a significant (P<0.05) effect on area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC). AUDPC values calculated for the susceptible cultivar in the smaller plots compared with the larger plots were 10 and 17% lower over the 2 yr, respectively (...)

Many Minnesota counties are faced with the problem of high vehicle speeds through towns or resort areas that have significant pedestrian traffic. The impact of speed reduction strategies in high-pedestrian areas in rural counties of Minnesota was investigated. Speed data were collected at two selected study sites under their existing conditions ("no-treatment" or "before" condition) and after the proposed speed reduction strategies were installed. Second "after" data conditions were collected to study the short-term and long-term impact of the implemented strategies. The traffic-calming techniques employed at the Twin Lakes site consisted of removable pedestrian islands and pedestrian crossing signs. A dynamic variable message sign that sent a single-word message ("Slow") to motorists traveling over the speed limit was installed at the Bemidji site. The research study shows that the traffic-calming strategy deployed in Twin Lakes was effective in significantly reducing the mean speed and improving speed limit compliance in both the short term and long term. Despite proven effectiveness, the deployed speed reduction treatment in Bemidji Lake failed to lower the speed at the study site. The single-word message on the sign and the location of the sign, as well as a lack of initial enforcement, were the primary reasons for such failure.


The invention provides a loose large-section roadway support technology. According to the rock stability condition in roadway tunneling, materials including water reducing agents, setting accelerators, steel fiber and the like are added into concrete, so that the concrete injection intensity is improved; the elasticity and plasticity performance is improved; an anchor rod (mesh) is cooperated for combined support; and the goal of large-section loose roadway fast support is achieved. The loose large-section roadway support technology well solves the problem of potential safety hazards such as wall caving and roof caving due to untimely support or non-ideal support effect of a large-section roadway, and has the characteristics that the efficiency is high; the energy consumption is low; the operation is flexible and convenient; the work intensity of workers is low; and the popularization and application prospects are wide.


This paper reports on a MEMS accelerator based neutron generator that is hermetically sealed in all ceramic/metal packaging. Conventional sources are radionucleides such as 252Cf. However, these isotopes do not lend themselves to pulsed neutron applications and present many safety issues. Accelerator based neutron generators have been developed, but they tend to be large, expensive, and unreliable. The device reported here is capable of being turned on and operated in pulsed neutron mode for the safe and reliable production of neutrons. Our MEMS neutron gun uses an inexpensive ceramic injection micro-molding and metallizing paste process for the batch fabrication of many neutron guns with standard industrial fabrication processes.


ABSTRACT Previous work demonstrates that a word's status as morphologically-simple or complex may be reflected in its phonetic realisation. One possible source for these effects is phonetic paradigm uniformity, in which an intended word's phonetic realisation is influenced by its morphological relatives. For example, the realisation of the inflected word frees should be influenced by the phonological plan for free, and thus be non-homophonous with the morphologically-simple word freeze. We test this prediction by analysing productions of forty such inflected/simple word pairs, embedded in pseudo-conversational speech structured to avoid metalinguistic task effects, and balanced for frequency, orthography, as well as segmental and prosodic context. We find that stem and suffix durations are significantly longer by about 4–7% in fricative-final inflected words (frees, laps) compared to their simple counterparts (freeze, lapse), while we find a null effect for stop-final words. The result suggests that wordforms influence production of their relatives.


Stimulus-surround brightness contrast of projected highway sign-type stimuli was varied by manipulating photographic exposure time. Stimulus materials comprising six contrast levels of black on white (e.g., 97%, 92%, 90%, 85%, 67%, and 34%) were developed and reproduced on 35-millimeter slides. These materials were presented at two different stimulus-exposure-time conditions on each of two separate recall tasks. It was concluded that recall of projected materials is not seriously degraded as contrast decreases from 97% to 67%. Below the 67% contrast level, a significant degradation in recall was observed.

Abstract Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) analysis has proven to be a useful archaeological tool for characterizing the elemental composition of pottery clays. The specific approach used here responds to previously encountered problems by eliminating most of the temper contaminants before evaluating the clay. The method we use is described. AAS analysis has been employed to discriminate pottery clays from feature clusters in a protohistoric archaeological site in eastern Oklahoma. The chemical composition of these clays exhibits significant intercluster differences, a result that has been supported by differences in temper size and density, and wall thickness. The most parsimonious explanation for these findings is that the clusters include the discard of potters who came from diverse locales—perhaps loosely associated Wichita groups.


A number of observations of aggressive behavior of mule deer ( Odocoileus hemionus ) toward bobcats ( Lynx rufus ) have been published by Linsdale and Tomich (a herd of mule deer, Univ. Calif.

For several days a doe and her two fawns were seen in a certain location …


A Staudinger imination reaction of alkyl 3-(o-azidophenyl)aziridino-2-carboxylates with trimethyl phosphine promotes an intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction between the non-isolated putative phosphazenes and the carbonyl group of the ester function. A further hydrolytic treatment of the resulting iminoesters led ultimately to 3amino-2-quinolones via a molecular reorganization at the aziridino fragment.


Predictions of nonequilibriu m and equilibrium radiative heating are obtained for the Titan aerocapture and two near-Earth aeroassisted orbital transfer vehicle (AOTV) missions. The Titan results include both the stagnation region and aft end of the fore cone of the conceptual aerocapture vehicle configuration for a range of entry parameters encompassing those of proposed mission profiles. The near-Earth AOTV results include orbit transfer between possible space station locations at geosynchronous and libration center L5 (a null point of the Earth-moon gravitational field overlap) orbits and equatorial and polar low Earth orbits, respectively. Several conceptual AOTV shapes, having a wide range of ballistic coefficients that simulate a variety of mission scenarios, are analyzed for each case. For both missions, results generally show that nonequilibrium is enhanced over equilibrium radiative heating and generally exceeds convective heating. Nonequilibrium radiative heating is thus an important factor in the design of thermal protection systems for Titan aerocapture and near-Earth AOTV missions and possibly for other future aeroassisted planetary missions. For Titan aerocapture, the nonequilibrium radiative heat flux can exceed several kilowatts per square centimeter, which is comparable to that of the Venus probe, and requires ablating-type materials to accommodate the heat shielding requirements. For near-Earth AOTV missions, the nonequilibrium flux dominates and is of such magnitude that nonrigid AOTV concepts are impractical without major breakthroughs being made in flexible, reusable materials technology. For rigid AOTV concepts, however, generic thermal protection systems (by use of non-ablating materials) may possibly satisfy the bulk of mission requirements in cislunar space.

Emerging silicon nitride (SiN) nanophotonic circuits are an advantageous technology for dense wavelength division multiplexing systems but they have larger footprints than silicon-on-insulator devices due to the lower index contrast. We present an ultra-compact 100 GHz <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1\times {8}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> SiN arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) enabled by the novel concept of the waveguide superlattice. A waveguide superlattice is a periodic structure consisting of alternate waveguide geometries with negligible parasitic couplings. Thanks to the densely arrayed waveguides, this superlattice AWG (SL-AWG) has a compact footprint of 4.3 mm <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times0.6$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm, which is more than two times smaller than a conventional AWG with similar performance implemented previously on the same SiN platform. The SL-AWG also shows a low insertion loss of 3.4 dB and a low crosstalk of −18 dB.


Electron diffraction experiments and electron crystallography are experiencing a major leap in the nanocrystallography revolution [1]. Moreover, the use of the continuous rotation method (as in X-ray crystallography) for the collection of electron diffraction data is surpassing all previous data collection methods available in the past decade [2]. Unfortunately, there is no dedicated device for performing such experiments. All experiments found in the literature are done in (modified)-Transmission Electron Microscopes, as these are the only sources of electron beams. Though these devices are not optimal for performing such kind of experiments. Many factors play an important role here. In fact, scientist interested in using this technique, have even suggested on guidelines to use a (S)TEM as an electron diffractometer [3]. Therefore, there is a huge necessity that fully integrated electron diffractometers are available for the scientific community and industrial facilities. This necessity is now a reality. Here we present a novel device optimized and dedicated for electron diffraction experiments that uses the continuous rotation method. We will showcase this device and its advantages against electron microscopes that can perform ED measurements. We will show experimental evidence on the improvement of the data quality compared to data sets collected elsewhere. We will highlight the ease of use of this device.

Submitted for the MAR12 Meeting of The American Physical Society Phonon effects on analog quantum simulation with ultracold ions in a linear Paul trap C.-C. JOSEPH WANG, JAMES FREERICKS, Georgetown University — Linear Paul traps have been used to simulate the transverse field Ising model with long-range spin couplings. Here, we study the effects of phonon creation on the spin state probability and spin entanglement. The effective spin models are created by applying a spin-dependent force with a laser that couples the spin state to the phonons of the ion crystal. Adiabatically removing the phonons creates an action described by a static spin Hamiltonian plus additional quantum timedependent phases. In appropriate limits, the system is described predominantly by the static spin Hamiltonian. Here, we solve for the evolution of the coupled spinphonon system exactly using exact diagonalization and examine the effect of phonon creation during the simulation on the probabilities of different spin states and on their entanglement. In particular, we examine phonon effects on the possibility for seeing the kink transition when the laser is detuned between the two phonon modes that lie below the COM mode. C.-C.

Faced with the complex international situation nowadays, humanity will need to explore new international communication mechanisms to exchange information and reach consensus to jointly address future risks and challenges. The Beijing Winter Olympics provided a good paradigm and experience for future international communication. This paper will discuss three aspects of the Winter Olympics coverage: reconstructing the "metaphorical" setting, discourse exchange and cooperation, and breaking through cultural discounts to analyse how China has achieved innovation in international communication discourse during the Winter Olympics. The paper argues that the innovation of China's narrative metaphor for the Winter Olympics conveys China's national thinking on the harmonious relationship between humans and nature and responds to the question of how humans should face nature in the post-epidemic era. At the same time, China's inclusion of national discourses in the narrative highlights the internationalist spirit of the Games in promoting equality and collaboration between countries, and sets a good model for international cooperation in the post-epidemic era. At the same time, it also allows for communication content to be more effectively mitigated to break through cultural discounts and be more widely disseminated. Therefore, the study of the external communication discourse of the Winter Olympics will help to explore the future of China's more active position in international communication.


Without treatment, the harmful effects of acid mine drainage (AMD) lead to the destruction of surrounding ecosystems, including serious health impacts to affected communities. Active methods, like chemical neutralization, are the most widely used approach to AMD management. However, these techniques require constant inputs of energy, chemicals, and manpower, which become unsustainable in the long-term. One promising and sustainable alternative for AMD management is to use passive treatment systems with locally available and waste-derived alkalinity-generating materials. In this study, the treatment of synthetic AMD with laterite mine waste (LMW), concrete waste, and limestone in a successive process train was elucidated, and the optimal process train configuration was determined. Six full factorial analyses were performed following a constant ratio of 0.75 mL AMD/g media with a 15-min retention time. The evolution of the pH, redox potential (Eh), total dissolved solids (TDS), heavy metals concentration, and sulfates concentrations were monitored as the basis for evaluating the treatment performance of each run. LMW had the highest metal and sulfates removal, while concrete waste caused the largest pH increase. A ranking system was utilized in which each parameter was normalized based on the Philippine effluent standards (DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 2016–08 and 2021–19). Run 4 (Limestone-LMW-Concrete waste) showed the best performance, that is, the pH increased from 1.35 to 8.08 and removed 39% Fe, 94% Ni, 72% Al, and 52% sulfate. With this, the process train is more effective to treat AMD, and the order of the media in treatment is significant.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of diffusion weighted MR imaging with background suppression(DWIBS) in gastrointestinal tumors and metastasis lymph nodes. Methods The preoperative diffusion weighted imaging with background suppression results in 11 patients with gastrointes-tinal tumors (including 6 gastric cancer patients,3 rectal cancer patients, 1 colon carcinoma patient and 1 anal canal cancer patient) were analyzed. The diagnostic ability to DWIBS for gastrointestinal primary tumors and the displaying ability to metastasis lymph nodes were evaluated. The ADC values of metastasis lymph nodes and non-metastasis lymph nodes in gastric cancer patients were measured and compared. Re-suits Among 11 patients,7 patients were diagnosed correctly by DWIBS,including 3 gastric cancer pa-tients(3/6),3 rectal cancer patients (3/3) and 1 anal canal cancer patient. The metastasis lymph nodes were displayod clearly in diffusion weighted imaging. The average ADC values of metastasis and non-metas-tasis lymph nodes in gastric cancer patients were (0.83±0.25)×10~(-3) mm~2/s and (1.61±0.29)×10~(-3) mm~2/s respectively and there was a significant statistical difference in these two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Although DWIBS has a limited diagnostic ability to gastric primary tumors,there is a highly diagnostic value for primary tumors of rectal cancer, anal canal cancer and the metastasis lymph nodes of gastrointestinal tumors.

Key words:
Gastrointestinal neoplasms;  Lymph nodes;  Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging;  Background suppression

In this paper, we introduce Bothnia, an extension to the Intel production graphics driver to support a shared virtual memory heterogeneous multithreading programming model. With Bothnia, the Intel graphics device driver can support both the traditional 3D graphics rendering software stack and a new class of heterogeneous multithreaded applications, which can use both IA (Intel Architecture) CPU cores and Intel integrated Graphics and Media Accelerator (GMA) cores in the same virtual address space. We describe the necessary architectural supports in both IA CPU and the GMA cores and present a reference Bothnia implementation. For a set of GPU accelerated media applications on a PC platform with Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and the Intel integrated GMA X3000 running under the Windows XP operating system, Bothnia achieves an average speedup of 3.6x compared to using the GPU as a device, primarily due to Bothnia's support for creation of shared virtual address space between heterogeneous threads of the same application spread on both IA CPU and GMA cores.


Zero shear viscosity and molecular weight between entanglements (M e ) are determined from dynamic oscillatory shear experiments. Lower M e value means higher number of entanglements in the system and is associated with increasing strain hardening stiffness. With the understanding that strain hardening is related to environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) of high density polyethylene (HDPE), M e is then related to the ESCR of several resins in this study. The inversely proportional relationship between M e and ESCR indicates that low network mobility due to an increasing number of chain entanglements increases the ESCR of HDPE.


This article offers the results of experimental research on the colour yellow in rock-discourses. The main aim of the research is to establish whether there is any correlation between the typical associations of English speakers from Asia, Europe and Russia and those typical of the British and American rockdiscourse. At the pre-experimental stage, we determined those typical meanings by analysing the psychophysical, linguocultural, lexicographic interpretations of the studied colour, apart from that, the album covers (the iconic level of rock-discourse) were selected. A survey of 145 English speakers was conducted via Google Forms. The following data were obtained: in the first stage – respondents' free colour associations; in the second one – respondents' album cover associations; in the last one – respondents' fixed colour associations. As a result of the first stage, associative definitions (58,7%) were found to be more prevalent than metaphoric associations (41,3%). In the second one, respondents were able to identify all three components of the studied colour, more specifically "illness", "positivity" and "protest". The last one was identified by the majority only in the British album cover, while in the American one by the minority.

What is Paiśācī and how does it fit into a larger history of language and literature in pre-modern India? A re-examination of the sources suggests three points: first, that when people first started talking about Paiśācī in the mid-first millennium CE, it was not thought to be a language in the same sense that Sanskrit and Prakrit were languages; second, that Paiśācī was integrated into Indian classifications of language at a later stage (ninth–tenth centuries), through the related influences of theatrical knowledge (nāṭyaśāstra) and Prakrit grammar; third, that the Bṛhatkathā—which has always been imagined to be ground zero for Paiśācī—was 'lost' not just in the weak sense (of a text that is no longer available at a certain time and place) but in a stronger sense (of a text that is fundamentally incompatible with the principles of textuality operative at a certain time and place). I conclude that the term Paiśācī is a playful reinterpretation of bhūtabhāṣā, 'the language of the past', and that the language is a relic of a textual culture that itself became a 'ghost' with the advent of the Sanskrit cosmopolis around the second century CE.


This paper presents the design of a linear parameter varying (LPV) controller for the F-16 longitudinal axes over the entire flight envelope using a blend- ing approach which reduces computational costs for synthesizing an LPV controller. Quasi-LPV models of the F-16 longitudinal axes are constructed from the nonlinear equations of motion over the entire flight envelope, including non-trim regions, to facil- itate synthesis of LPV controllers for the F-16 air- craft. The nonlinear simulations of the blended LPV controller show that the desired performance and ro- bustness objectives are achieved across all altitude variations.


the principles of truth-telling and respect for persons (Appelbaum PS: Ethics and forensic psychiatry: translating principles into practice. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 36:195–200, 2008). In applying these principles to competency evaluations of individuals suspected of malingering, truth-telling prompts forensic psychiatrists to give honest, supported diagnoses but to also be aware of their own limitations. In commenting on United States v. Greer, 158 F.3d 228 (5th Cir. 1998), Drs. Knoll and Resnick articulated that the assessment of malingering can be difficult, and a label of malingering can be given erroneously (Knoll JL, Resnick PJ: U.S. v. Greer: Longer sentences for malingerers. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 27: 621–5, 1999). In light of the significant biasing effects that a diagnosis of malingering may have in the court, the principle of truth-telling calls for evaluators to make a diagnosis when confident and the evidence is present, but to not avoid truthfully stating uncertainty. The principle of respect for persons also raises concerns for forensic psychiatrists in competency evaluations. In defining respect for persons, Dr. Appelbaum articulates that forensic psychiatrists should "not engage in deception, exploitation or needless invasion of the privacy" of individuals we evaluate (Appelbaum, p 197). Particularly with the knowledge that forensic reports could be used for unintended reasons, respect for persons calls upon forensic psychiatrists to take consideration of the information contained in reports so as to not exploit or needlessly invade privacy. The principle of respect for persons raises the question of whether evaluees should be warned that information obtained from the competency assessment could be used for purposes aside from a competency determination, with feigned incompetency affecting sentencing being one such example. Such a determination is not without consequences. Defendants may be more reluctant to engage in evaluations, and a chilling effect on the right to request competency hearings could result. How to approach these considerations is for each forensic evaluator to decide but the growing number of cases similar to Nygren suggests forensic psychiatrists should be thoughtful about the accuracy of their assessments, what information to include in a statement of non-confidentiality, and the breadth of information to include in their reports.


The article is devoted to the issues of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) on biogas integration into the power supply system of a livestock enterprise. The problem of the optimal SOFC's capacity selecting is being solved. The object of the research is the power supply system of a livestock enterprise. A mathematical model of a power supply system operation with the biogas-powered SOFC has been developed. Using a computer program based on Microsoft Excel and a SOFC's database, a study of the effectiveness of SOFC's integration into the power supply system has been carried out. The dependences of energy, economic and environmental efficiency SOFC application indicators (installed capacity utilization factor (ICUF), levelized cost of energy (LCOE), total costs for power supply, discounted total costs for power supply, volume of used biogas) on the SOFC's capacity have been determined. A methodology for selecting the optimal SOFC's capacity taking into account the criteria of economic and environmental efficiency has been developed.


A model community, which consists of multiple trophic levels (several spe- cies of prey, and several predator species including omnivores) is considered from the viewpoint of coevolutionary stability. Some properties of community digraphs are studied and resource utilization patterns of predators are given as necessary conditions for a coevo- lutionarily stable community (CSC). If a member of a predator species can simultaneously search for multiple prey species, a set of the prey species is interpreted as a single "prey trophic species." (1) For any subgraph of a CSC food web, the number of links between predator and prey trophic species is less than the sum of the number of predator species and the number of true prey species. (2) If any predator member searches for only one prey species, then for any CSC food web, the number of links connecting that predator and its prey is less than the sum of the number of predator species and that of prey species, where a species at an intermediate trophic level is doubly counted as prey and also as predator. (3) The maximum number of links in a CSC digraph is proportional to the number of species in the community. With our model we attempt to explain internality of a niche overlap graph and lack of a hole in a common enemy graph. Finally, we examined two examples of real communities to confirm validity of our results.


Fleet management is a major concern for international humanitarian organizations because of (1) the magnitude of transportation related costs in humanitarian operations, second only to personnel cost and, (2) the pivotal role that transportation plays in the order fulfillment process. Humanitarian organizations face unusual operating constraints, which include working in areas with poor infrastructure, extreme environmental conditions as well as budget limitations. Most of the existing models derived from commercial supply chains are inapplicable in such a context. Therefore, a new set of tools and theories is required. This dissertation contributes to the development of such a new set of tools. It is composed of two parts that address two related questions in humanitarian fleet management: (1) how to determine the optimal fleet size and the optimal procurement strategy at an aggregate level and, (2) how to optimally manage an existing fleet the field level. Lack of data is the main challenge that prevents humanitarian organizations from adopting data-intensive models developed for commercial supply chains. Accordingly, the first part of this thesis studies how to determine optimal fleet capacity over time and how to minimize procurement costs for different demand profiles in the absence of detailed data. Contrary to conventional wisdom in humanitarian organizations, its findings show that a mixed policy of level and chase procurement strategies minimizes procurement costs and that a level strategy is the optimal approach to procurement in most humanitarian missions. The second part of the dissertation concentrates on fleet management policies at the field level. To optimize fleet performance and maximize demand coverage, humanitarian organizations implement policies to enhance the utilization of vehicles and minimize their physical depreciation. Through the analysis of a large humanitarian organization's fleet in four representative countries (Sudan, Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Georgia) the results of this dissertation suggest that: (1) it is not necessary to assign different vehicles to specific mission types (2) all vehicles should be used following the same usage policy regardless of their mission type and, (3) the vehicle replacement policy implemented by most humanitarian organizations is not effective and needs to be reconsidered. Results also demonstrate that, on average, a utilization-depreciation trade-off does not exist and that a wellconceived fleet management policy can allow for both higher vehicle utilization and lower depreciation.


Studies the hypervelocity launch feature of graded-impedance flier-plates.Using LS-DYNA,the hypervelocity launch process with graded-impedance flier-plate impacting the secondary flier-plates is numerically simulated,the pressure profiles and velocity profiles of the secondary flier-plates are calculated.The results show that the secondary flier-plate impacted by graded-impedance flier-plate encapsulated with Lexan can be accelerated to a final launching velocity which is 1.63 times larger than the initial impact velocity,and the graded-impedance flier-plate used can generate a quasi-isentropic loading process while it impacts on the secondary flier-plates.

The perceived location of objects has been the subject matter of a number of studies at the Clark laboratory (e.g., Werner & Wapner, 1952b, 1956; Wapner & Werner, 1957). Analysis of this problem, object localization, is further pursued here by investigating the relationship between perceived location of objects and of one's own body. The theoretical conception guiding the previous research has included the state of the organism as a factor in the localization of objects. This assumption is generalized here: it is assumed that the state of the organism affects perceived location of one's own body, as well as that of objects. Accordingly, a change in organismic state is introduced and its ensuing effect studied on the relationship between perceived location of one's body and of other objects. Two types of conditions of organismic state were introduced, sviz., s ~ ~ p p o r t e d and unsupported body tilt; their effect on these two perceptions in relation to each other was studied in two modalities, uiz., visual and tactualkinaesthetic.


The image is usually corrupted by Gauss noise and impulse noise simultaneously, and its quality will be reduced. Thus filtering image is important in image processing. The traditional mean filter cannot remove impulse noise effectively while preserve the details of image well. And the median filter cannot remove Gauss noise effectively. In this paper, we propose the self-adaptive mean filter to remove mixed noise of Gauss noise and impulse noise. Firstly, dividing pixels of image into good pixels and corrupted pixels based on whether there are noises in their small neighborhoods. And the greyscale value of good pixels are output directly. Secondly, for corrupted pixels, removing Gauss noises and impulse noises respectively based on characteristics of different noise. The results demonstrate that the self-adaptive mean filter can eliminate mixed noise of different density better and preserve the details of image better comparing with the mean filter or the median filter for mixed noise.


The paper was to study the change trend of the physiological indexes in plants of Malvaceae under normal and low temperature condition.The result showed that the increase extent of electrical conductivity of plants with cold tolerance in Malvaceae was significantly lower than the plant without cold tolerance under the cold stress condition,while their proline contents and soluble protein contents were all higher than the plants without cold tolerance.The above physiological indicators all can be used for the screening of varieties with cold tolerance in Malvaceae,which will also provide theoretical guidance for the cold tolerance screening of other garden plants.


Study was conducted on the effect of protein composition distribution in rape pollen, alkali concentration, pH value, time and temperature on the extraction percent of glutelins in rape pollen.

Abstract The estimation of association constants of chiral analytes to chiral selectors is often useful in determining the nature and extent of interactions that exist between them. These determinations also provide insight into the mechanisms that are involved in the enantiorecognition of these analytes. Simple models have been developed previously to estimate association constants of analytes binding through a 1:1 stoichiometry with a ligand. These models have also been extrapolated to explain the binding behavior of analytes in systems containing two ligands. In the present study, the binding behavior of some chiral analytes was studied in micellar capillary electrophoresis (CE) systems modified with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) or vancomycin as the chiral selectors. The pseudophase or three phase model was used as the basis for the determination of the absolute binding constants of the solutes to the selector and to the micellar phases.


This study empirically identified the diffusion factors of the Internet market. Innovation-IT-diffusion theory has been used as the foundation theory. Literature reviews revealed eight factors to predict different levels of adoption among potential adopters. Questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data from computer retailers. Discriminant analysis showed significant results for the hypotheses. We concluded that factors including Inclination Toward New technologies, Customer Pressure, and Cost Incentive can be used to explain the differences between adopters and non-adopters. In addition, Existence of Champion, Absorptive Capacity, Top Management Support, and Competitor's Move are important for successful implementation.


ABSTRACT Health care system libraries and librarians serve multiple functions that fit within the Medical Library Association's Task Force on Vital Pathways for Hospital Librarians goals and directives. This article is an example of how a librarian expanded her role and responsibilities to include working with hospital clinicians and researchers to refine a custom-built patient portal for patients with a spinal cord injury. This led to trainings with patients, families, and clinicians. Extending beyond the 'typical' reach of the librarian allowed for the librarian to demonstrate that the library is more than its space and that the librarian has useful skills for patient outreach projects.

Issue: Community health workers have tremendous potential to deliver health impact. However, the public sector has historically struggled to drive and maintain the performance of these mostly volunteer teams. Innovative public/private partnerships can provide integrative solutions that strengthen community health and increase access to maternal, newborn, and child health services. Description: In 2015, Living Goods partnered with Busia County to leverage the organization's integrated CHW model—which demonstrated a 27 percent decrease in under-five child mortality in Uganda. Under the public/private-like partnership, Living Goods works alongside the Western Kenyan county to support community health volunteers (CHVs), bringing them into the organization's incentives-based performance management system. Through proactive training, use of smart mobile tools, and assured health commodities, Living Goods trains and manages CHVs who support pregnant women and newborns and conduct community case management of childhood illnesses, while earning an income by selling impactful products. The results so far have been impressive: reduced facility workload, 226 active CHVs serving over 24,300 households across Busia County. By the end of 2017, Living Goods in partnership with Busia County strives to cover at least 70 percent of the county—improving access to health services across the county, particularly for moms and babies. Lessons Learned: Strong and on-going collaboration in the design of the program was critical to the success of the partnership—from recruitment and training practices to data and performance management. Additionally, strong support and buy-in from senior leadership, both political and technical, further reinforced this foundation of trust and transparency, paving the way for an impactful partnership. Recommendations: There is significant opportunity for the public sector to leverage and integrate the strengths of private partners to deliver community health—helping them reach vulnerable populations and increasing access to maternal, newborn, and child health services.


Rock check dams are commonly installed in construction site ditches to reduce the potential erosion that can occur during runoff events. Recent tests at field sites have suggested that check dams constructed of fiber materials, such as coir, straw, and excelsior may outperform rock in reducing ditch erosion, and adding polyacrylamide (PAM) can significantly reduce turbidity. This paper describes tests of three check dam types for turbidity reduction under controlled conditions. These included standard rock, rock wrapped in an excelsior blanket, and excelsior wattles. A series of three check dams were installed in a 24 m, lined ditch with a 5-7% slope. A simulated storm was introduced to the ditch for 20 minutes, with sediment added and a peak flow of 56 liter s-1 (2 cfs). Samples were taken on the downhill side of each check dam and analyzed for turbidity. The excelsior wattles with PAM produced significantly lower turbidity than the rock check dam, although adding PAM to that greatly reduced turbidity as well. When compared to untreated check dams, PAM reduced turbidity by 61-93%, down from a range of 350-1300 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) to 47 – 229 NTU. The rock + excelsior and excelsior wattle dams maintained substantial flocculation potential after three events, but the rock dam did not. The maximum potential concentration of PAM was 5 mg L-1, well below levels known to be non-toxic, but an indirect measurement indicated concentrations more than 100 fold lower after mixing with suspended sediment.


Objective:To investigate the effects of cartilage extracellular matrix-derived oriented scaffolds on attachment,proliferation,distribution and alignment of chondrocytes seeded in the scaffolds cultured in vitro.Methods:Oriented cartilage extracellular matrix-derived scaffolds were fabricated with freeze-dried method using unidirectional solidification as a freezing process.After labeled with PKH26,canine chondrocytes were seeded onto the scaffolds and incubated for 1,3,5 and 7 days,respectively.Attachment,proliferation and viability of the cells were measured by mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity(CCK-8 assay).Morphology,distribution and alignment of chondrocytes in the scaffolds were analyzed by invert microscopy,fluorescent microscopy,scanning electron microscopy and HE staining.Chondrocytes seeded into non-oriented cartilage extracellular matrix-derived scaffolds were used as controls.Results:Chondrocytes seeded in both scaffolds showed good attachment and viability from day 1 to day 7,most of the cells in both scaffolds were spheric in shape.However,proliferation of chondrocytes seeded in oriented scaffolds(OS) was higher than that of chondrocytes seeded in nonoriented scaffolds(NOS).Moreover,chondrocytes seeded in the OS,were widely distributed within the scaffolds and aligned themselves along the oriented pore,mimicking a columnar arrangement whereas chondrocytes seeded in the NOS were randomly distributed within the scaffolds and less in number.Conclusion:Cartilage extracellular matrix-derived oriented scaffolds can support chondrocytes to accommodate and guide their growth into cartilagous tissue,and therefore,can be used as a three dimensional scaffold in cartilage tissue engineering.


A planar two-branch diversity antenna using a simple printed dual band double-T monopole is proposed for use in ISM band at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. A prototype of the proposed antenna has been constructed and tested. The measured results are in good agreement with the computed ones from simulation, while the antenna acquires favorable characteristics such as reduced size and extended bandwidth


The impact of the constantly changing world on healthcare in recent years, technological innovations and economic austerity, as well as, the increasing number of pure "Social Disruptions" at hospitals (e.g. power outages, IT problems), and out of hospitals (e.g. mass gatherings) challenges the healthcare in how to organize itself at the time of major events and disasters (e.g. terror attacks)[1-3].


This study analyzes the creativity affecting the developments of store design and storefront designs in relation to the urban scape. Also, it will explore the understanding about how designs relate to inferences on store characteristics. Different approaches are applied in retail design and the ideas behind them have developed over time. By planning the main features and limitations of the development as it is at this point in time. For instance, the expected conditions from business owners can be developed, describing the outlines for an application in architectural and interior design. In this way, future perspectives should also be taken into developments account. The analysis of the state of Architectural/interior theories in store design and their expected functions for the business in the building can be combined with the description of a path for further research and strategies with a method to carry out in this paper. I address the purpose of this research through the analysis of the Prada epicenter in New York USA. This case study is considered to explicate the influential role of store front design on shop interior planning, and how the design influences customer perception.

In this study, the change in the classification success of the convolutional neural network (CNN) is investigated when the dimensions of the convolution window are altered. For this purpose, four different linear convolution neural network architectures are constructed. The first architecture includes 4 convolution layers with 3×3 convolution window dimensions. The second architecture includes 4 convolution layers with 5×5 convolution window dimensions. The third architecture includes 4 convolution layers with 7×7 convolution window dimensions. The fourth architecture includes 4 convolution layers with 9×9 convolution window dimensions. A dataset consisting of histopathological image patches is used to test the CNN architects that are created. 2000 training images and 250 validation images on dataset are applied to all architectures with the same order, in order to fair assessment. In conclusion, the effect of convolution dimensions on classification of histopathological images by deep learning methods is determined. The test results of four different linear convolutional neural network architectures are evaluated using sensitivity, specificity and accuracy parameters.


In this presentation the development of an induction motor of which stator core is made of molded SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) will be presented. The molded core shows low iron loss compared to the iron loss of machined core. Iron loss of machined core is large because of the heat at the machining of bulk SMC. Moreover, by using SMC, 3D shaped core is easily constructed. The teeth of the stator core extended in order to enlarge the pole surface area in the same outer volume of the motor.

This paper investigates the verification and synthesis of parameterized protocols that satisfy global leadsto properties ${R}$ ⇝ Q on symmetric unidirectional rings (a.k.a. uni-rings) of deterministic and constant-space processes, where ${R}$ and ${Q}$ denote global state predicates. First, we show that verifying ${R}$ ⇝${Q}$ for parameterized protocols on symmetric uni-rings is undecidable, even for deterministic and constant-space processes, and conjunctive state predicates. Then, we show that surprisingly synthesizing symmetric uni-ring protocols that satisfy ${R}$ ⇝ Q is actually decidable. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions for the decidability of synthesis based on which we devise a sound and complete algorithm that takes the predicates ${R}$ and ${Q}$, and automatically generates a parameterized protocol that satisfies ${R}$ ⇝ Q for unbounded (but finite) ring sizes. We use our algorithm to synthesize some parameterized protocols, including an agreement protocol.

The literature on the sinuses for 1935 is voluminous and naturally full of duplications and repetitions. Nevertheless, when one considers the wide territory covered both in the United States and abroad, it is not surprising that similar topics are presented in practically the same way over and over again. The most striking feature of last year's literature has been the definite influence on rhinologic procedure the world over of the work done by Proetz, Hilding, Fenton, Mullin and other Americans. American otolaryngologists have reason to be proud of their work because from every quarter of the globe evidence is accumulating of a keener appreciation of the natural defenses of the sinuses, through which a newer conception of therapy is being developed. I have therefore deemed it important not to overlook any of these reports, because in the aggregate they demonstrate most effectively the trend of the times. Differences


We report here an analysis of the B1Πu → X1Σ+g band system of the sodium dimer. The body of data includes laser-induced emission of Na2 consisting of discrete molecular fluorescence (107 fluorescence series) excited by visible lines from an argon ion laser and rotational relaxation lines for strong transitions. In order to enlarge the data set of transitions within this band system, which cover both X1Σ+g and B1Πu states up to dissociation, the results were combined with spectroscopic experimental data available in the literature. The obtained Dunham coefficients were used to derive the corresponding molecular potentials using basically the RKR method. Hybrid potential energy curves for the X1Σ+g and B1Πu states have been checked by solving numerically the radial Schrödinger equation observing a good agreement with the experimental data.


A line-of-sight (LOS) guidance law with an explicit model predictive control (MPC) is proposed for an underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The derived LOS law is based on quaternion angles thus avoids the problem of singularity inherited in Euler angles. The proposed guidance and control scheme is computationally inexpensive and generates a robust optimal control signal for AUV dynamics. In view of the practical implementation, the constraints on control planes and parametric uncertainties are taken into consideration while designing the proposed control law. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified by both simulation and experimentation using a prototype AUV developed in the laboratory. Subsequently, multiple experiments were conducted to ascertain the applicability of the proposed algorithm in a practical scenario.


A Case of Herpes Simplex virus Colitis

Vikrant Shah

India

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is common across the world; worldwide more than 90% of people are seropositive for HSV by the fourth decade of life.  Primary infection in immunocompetent individuals is characterized by a symptomatic or mild, self-limiting course whereas in immunocompromised patients HSV infection may cause severe infections of different organs with significant morbidity and mortality. If linked to exogenous or endogenous immunosuppression HSV infection is most commonly a result of reactivation.

HSV infection itself is very uncommon in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, treatment with immunosuppressive agents like corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus or methotrexate clearly increases infection risk. Ongoing inflammation by itself is also considered to be a predisposing factor for infection with HSV.But HSV infection causing colitis in patients with retroviral diseases is not commonly heard of.

 I would like to present a case of HSV colitis in a diagnosed case of RVD and on HAART.

Patient is 43 YRS old gentleman with diagnosed RVD since 11 years and had H/O Extrapulomnary Koch's at diagnosis of      HIV 1,received 9 months ATT and later was seen by various physicians and unfortunately had various changes in HAART regimen which were not as per standardized guidelines and at timed received 2 drug regimen.

With history of 8 months of diarrhea patient presented with us in Mumbai, with significant wasting.

Patient was thoroughly investigated and all the causes were ruled out, had lots of clinical challenges while managing this patient, primary histopathology did not reveal any specific abnormality, also empirical treatment for CMV failed and later diagnosis was made as HSV colitis.

 Diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining and supported by colonoscopy and biopsy.

The patient recovered following three weeks of acyclovir.


The reaction of polyalkylated aromatic compounds with fuming nitric acid has been investigated with respect to the effects of substituents and added electrolytes on the ease and extent of the concurrent side-chain nitrooxylation and nuclear nitration. Relative reactivity of substituted pentamethylbenzenes C6(CH3)5X for side-chain substitution decreases from 1 to 2×10−2 to 4×10−4 to 3×10−6 with the change of substituent groups from methyl to hydrogen to bromine to nitro in accordance with the ionic character of the reaction. Added electrolytes have profound influence on the reaction rates, but the ratio of products from side chain nitrooxylation and nuclear nitration remains almost unchanged, indicating that both processes share a common intermediate. The relative amount of side-chain substitution depends closely on the positional relationship of alkyl groups in the nucleus, and preferential formation of p-alkylbenzyl nitrates is always observed. It is concluded from the results, that the side-chain nitroo...

In fabricating complete denture, flabby ridge and flat ridge require special impression technique. Pressure causes by impression in flabby ridge may compress the tissue. Ideally, modified open mouth impression technique is used to avoid compression in flabby area which cause denture base displacement. Flat ridge offers little possibility of retention, stability, and the muscle attachments are located near the crest of the residual ridge so there is more dislocating effect to horizontal and vertical movement. Closed mouth functional impression technique may produce a more retentive denture base for flat ridge because it record peripheral seal and denture bearing area with patient's functional. The main problem arises when flat ridge is also accompanied by flabby ridge. Closed mouth functional impression technique in this case cause pressure on the flabby ridge. This case report discusses about the management of the case with modification to functional closed mouth impression technique using wax as a spacer which is covered with metal mesh on the flabby ridge. The function of closed mouth functional impression technique is to obtain optimal muscle trimming and impression with patient's functional pressure and movement, to obtain the extension of the denture base to movable unmovable tissue during function. Modification with wax spacer in flabby area so that non-spacer area act as stopper during functional impression, and flabby ridge is free from pressure. Additional modification with metal mesh above the wax serves as escape holes, as well as scaffold for retention of impression material. Modification in this impression technique produce denture base which does not compress flabby ridge, and also obtain retentive, and stable base for flat ridge case.


During the failure free operating period (FFOP), products have ZERO FAILURE and not unscheduled maintenance. Comparing with the traditional reliability measurement of mean time between failures (MTBF), the concept of FFOP abandons the hypothesis of random failure. Firstly, the essential features of FFOP are expounded; then a powerful equation is derived for setting quantitative reliability requirements based on FFOP. The equation is applied to the case where failure is triggered because of clustering of two or more failures following a Homogeneous Poisson process. Furthermore, the equation is used to predict the FFOP of the wireless pulse generator, which is a critical equipment of drilling platform and requires a continuous FFOP. Finally, the prediction result through the proposed method is compared with the result through Monte Carlo method and both results are close, which shows that the developed method is practical in engineering.

This book is comprised of 18 papers presented at the National Conference on Management of Nitrogen in Irrigated Agriculture held 1518 May 1978 in Sacramento, California and sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the University of California. As stated in the Preface, the conference "was designed to bring together users representing a diversity of interests throughout the country for an integrated review of the findings from the comprehensive national research effort." Paper topics include nitrogen forms and cycling in relation to water quality; sources of nitrogen for crop utilization; mineralization, immobilization, and nitrification; removal of nitrogen by irrigated crops; volatile losses of nitrogen from soil; nitrate leaching and effect of water management; influence of soil residence time on effluent water quality; optimum levels of nitrogen fertilization; behavior of nitrogen in the crop root zone; economic impacts of controlling nonpoint source pollution, nitrogen concentration, and other water quality determinants; and a case study of ground water pollution in the Upper Santa Ana River Basin of California. Chapters range from 8 to 50 pages long and each includes an abstract and a Literature Cited section. There are 86 figures and 61 tables. Volume 2 is divided into two sections: IV--Biogeochemistry of Metals in the Environment and V--Studies on Ecological Mass Balance. The subject matter in these two sections is much more diverse than in Volume 1 and the manuscripts are more specific with regard to element and ecosystem (e.g., "Role of Mangrove Vegetation in Mercury Cycling in the Florida Everglades")). On the other hand, there are some very good manuscripts on general topics, such as the "Binding of Metal Ions by Humic Acids," "Aluminum in Relation to the Environment and Human Health," and "Ecosystem Development and the Biological Control of Stream Water Chemistry." The heterogeneity of subject matter in this volume makes it a valuable resource to the environmental scientist. The organizers of the symposium and the editor are to be complimented on assembling so many internationally recognized specialists of such diverse disciplines to integrate their efforts into a comprehensive symposium and resulting proceedings on a new and exciting field, environmental biogeochemistry. Each volume is covered with an attractive jacket, though somewhat misleading in that nothing is stated on the jacket or cover above the set being the proceedings of a symposium. The volumes were prepared from type-written copy and are very consistent with regard to format, figure legends, and tables, making them easy to read. This reviewer found very few errors. Each volume has a detailed index making it valuable as a reference text. The price of the two volumes, unlike many books today, makes them a good investment for the environmental scientist's personal library.-C. W.

The theme of orientating the process organization of the mining industry towards an as complete as possible optimization by means of investigating the efficiency of its combination of factors is one of capital importance for the theory, the praxis and the future of the mining economics. The present paper tries first of all to clarify the list and the content of the production factors involved in the mining processes; it attempts then to name the most important possible criteria for estimating to which extent a combination of factors is actually optimal; finally, it makes a series of basic statements on the history and evolution of the combinations of factors in the mining industry on its way towards optimality.


A method of measuring and assessing the soil homogeneity was proposed to replace the method of Standard DIN 50929. The index of homogeneity,ΔE(Fe) was defined as the maximum, difference of potentials between two adjacent electrodes, which were inserted in soils being studied. The method was used in corrosion investigation in TaLim Area and the data were treated by correlative analyses. It was indicated that the ΔE(Fe) had no correlation with other soil corrosion factors, but had important contribution to soil corrosivity. It will be beneficial to choose ΔE(Fe) as a key parameter in study of corrosion modeling. This conclusion was confirmed by practice in soil corrosion researches on Lun Ku Pipelines.

The invention provides a flexible displayer manufacturing method and a flexible displayer. The method comprises the steps of providing a first substrate, forming a binder layer on the first face of the first substrate, providing a second substrate, attaching the surface, provided with the binder layer, of the first substrate to the second substrate, wherein the adhesive power between the binder layer and the second substrate is lower than that of a 5N/20mm wide binder layer and the second substrate, forming a displayer body on the second face of the first substrate, and peeling the first substrate provided with the displayer body off the second substrate to obtain the flexible displayer. According to the flexible displayer manufacturing method, the binder layer with low adhesive power is formed on the first substrate, due to the fact that the adhesive power of binders is low, the first substrate provided with the displayer body can be easily peeled off the second substrate, and therefore manufacturing cost is lowered, production efficiency is high, and the flexible displayer is suitable for mass production.


The extraction yield of a microextraction technique depends on thermodynamic and kinetics factors. Both of these factors have been the focus of intensive research in the last few years. The extraction yield can be increased by synthesizing and using novel materials with favorable distribution constants (one of the thermodynamic factors) for target analytes. The extraction yield can also be increased by improving kinetic factors, for example, by developing new extraction modes. Microextraction techniques are usually non-exhaustive processes that work under the kinetic range. In such conditions, the improvement of the extraction kinetics necessarily improves the performance. Since the extraction yield and efficiency is related to how fast the analytes diffuse in samples, it is crucial to stir the sample during extraction. The stirring can be done with an external element or can be integrated with the extraction element in the same device. This article reviews the main recent advances in the so-called extraction/stirring integrated techniques with emphasis on their potential and promising approaches rather than in their applications.


; This article analyzes the Portuguese people's opinion of the orthographic agreement recently implemented among the members of the Community of Portu-guese-Speaking Countries. This agreement aims to make Portuguese orthography uniform. A survey was conducted about this issue in Portugal. Our hypothesis was that the Portuguese people would reject this agreement because it would be seen as an identity threat, a kind of submission by the former colonizer (Portugal) to the former colony (Brazil). As expected, the level of rejection of the agreement was very high. In this essay, the discourse of the rejection of the agreement and the kinds of motives invoked by Portuguese respondents are discussed, integrating the contribu-tions of social representations theory.


Global environmental change will heavily impact the species diversity of global ecosystem and its distribution.Global environmental change may lead to weakening resistance to adventive species in some parts of the ecosystem.Moreover,it may activate the activity of invasive species and lead to the rapid proliferation of alien organisms and large-scale invasion,which can exclude and kill native species,even reduce biological diversity and change the composition,structure and functions of original ecosystem.Strategies were suggested to enhance the prediction and supervision of invasive species and cope with them based on the whole ecosystem and society,which will provide references for prediction and control of biological invasion.


Pseudomonas aeruginosa common pathogenic bacteria belonging to family pseudomonadaceae is a gram negative, rod shaped bacterium that causes diseases in humans as well as animals and mostly pathogenic to plants. P.aeruginosa is found in terrestrial and aquatic environment especially in moist environment of hospitals resulting in Hospital Acquired Infections. The main aim of the current study was to determine the antibacterial activity of crude acetone pigment extract of Pseudomonas aeruginosa against Staphylococcus aurous isolated from currency notes. The currency note was collected from the petty shop of a crowded area in a sterile zip lock cover. It was then transferred to Nutrient broth for the processing of the sample. The sample was observed under microscopy and processed by inoculating into the nutrient broth and incubated for 24 hours at 37°C and broth culture was centrifuged followed by inoculation in to various types of media. The isolate was identified as Staphylococcus aureus by morphological, cultural, biochemical characters. The bacterial pigment was extracted by sub culturing Psuedomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was inoculated in to conical flask containing nutrient broth and incubated for 24hrs to 72 hrs in rotory shaker for production of pigment. The UV spectroscopic study was done to estimate the peak value of pigmented broth. The crude acetone pigment extract was prepared and assessed for antibacterial activity. The crude acetone pseudomonas pigment extract exhibited activity against s.aureus isolated from currency note which was found to be greater at 500μl with value of 19mm and minimum at 62.5 μl with value of 15mm.

Plasmonic nanostructures can dramatically increase the chemical reaction rates by providing more efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Upon light excitation, metallic nanostructures sustain the collective oscillation of surface electrons, i.e. surface plasmons, producing local field enhancement and after one hundred femtoseconds decaying by generating a non-thermal distribution of hot carriers. Their consequent thermalization results in intense local heating of the nanostructures and their surrounding. All these effects can alter the reaction pathways and boost the reaction kinetics. Such discoveries have boosted the field of plasmonic photocatalysis, which aims at driving industrially-relevant chemical reactions using solar illumination. In this talk, I will present our recent progress in the fabrication of large-area plasmonic metasurfaces exhibiting a rich set of electromagnetic resonances and their integration in photoelectrochemical water splitting cells, direct alcohol fuel cells, and photochemical devices for hydrogen evolution. I will discuss the complex relationship between the optical resonances of the plasmonic metasurfaces with their chemical reactivity by distinguishing the various effects enhancing their photochemical performance. Finally, a new scanning photoelectrochemical method that provide the two-dimensional mapping of the chemical reactivity of plasmonic nanostructures on planar substrates with sub-micron resolution will be introduced.


This article discusses the legal nature and features of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The legislation of the Republic of Armenia does not regulate relations with irreplaceable marks. This article presents the legal status of NFTs and their possible place among the objects of civil rights defined by Article 132 of the RA Civil Code. The process of tokenization and its connection with the right of ownership is analyzed. The norms of intellectual property legislation are analyzed, and it is concluded that the buyer of NFTs representing an object of intellectual property does not automatically acquire intellectual property rights to the object: these rights can be transferred to the buyer of NFTs through smart contracts or traditional legal instruments. The possibility of implementing smart contracts in Armenia is analyzed in the absence of special regulations for smart contracts.


Competitiveness of sporting contests is key to attract fan interest. However, limited research compared levels of competitiveness in men's and women's sports. This study focuses on the evolution of intra-match competitive balance (IMCB) and competitive intensity (IMCI) in the UEFA Men's and Women's Champions League (UMCL and UWCL). Data were initially collected for 3299 games over 2001–2019 (2314 in UMCL; 985 in UWCL) to analyse the evolution within and between each tournament. In addition, 989 matches played in UMCL over 1955–1973 were added to compare both competitions in their early stages. Results show a deterioration in IMCB and IMCI between 2001–2009 and 2009–2019 for the UMCL. Conversely, the UWCL benefitted from an increase in IMCB but not in IMCI, except for the final. The UWCL is still less competitive than the UMCL. This result holds true even when comparing the early stages of both competitions, i.e., replacing 2001–2019 by 1955–1973 for the UMCL. However, the UWCL has become closer to the UMCL in terms of IMCB and IMCI over time, a result linked to the development of women's football. From a theoretical perspective, this article advances knowledge of IMCB and IMCI, appropriate for competitions with knockout stages. It underlines the role of the pool of players as an explanatory factor for the gap in competitiveness between European men's and women's football.

To be a good medical writer, you need to know something about mathematics. Mathematics is the art of number, and numbers originated from words that were coined for the purpose of counting. However, some things can be counted, and some things cannot.


Protein prediction is a fundamental problem in biology the most application of solving this problem is drug design where we search for a special shape to interaction of protein. In this paper we want to solve this problem in 2D environment as same as method of navigation for robot. In others word, this problem is similar to know the best optimal structure of path of a robot which meeting a predetermined zero and one sequence. The goal of our robot is to have an optimal structure of this string that has the most number of one, one neighborly. The number of 1,1 neighborhoods expresses the number of H.H bonds, moreover the more number of H.H bonds, gives the minimum of energy and in finally the stable structure of hydrophobic, polar bonds. We present some rules in navigation and then move our robot. We want to have maximum numbers of 1.1 closely to have a stable protein. This work has many opportunities to be extended.
