The conclusion of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union marked not only a victory of the democratic aspirations of Ukrainian and European vision of its future. Its main hope, which is somewhat in the background in connection with the events of 2013- 2015, is launching a qualitatively new stage of cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union, which will help to deepen and possibly to improve the process of European integration. Common Security and Defence Policy of the European Union is the result of complex processes nearly seventy-year European integration, which began in 1948, signing of the Treaty of Alliance and Mutual Assistance (Dunkirk Treaty) between France and Britain. In the process of integration there is a remarkable number of difficulties and prejudice from the Member States that are not configured to yield their sovereignty and authority in this area. In view of this, the efficiency of the Common Security and Defence Policy causes more complaints than positive reviews. However, it can be expected that in the nearest future European integration in this area will only intensify, and this will have a direct impact on the European Union cooperation with the third countries, including Ukraine. Objectively recognized fact is that the development of cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union in the field of security and defense will take place in the framework of the Association Agreement. Although the main subject-matter of the Agreement is the economical and trade issues, this document contains provisions which define the strategic directions of cooperation in a number of important areas. One of these, which are of fundamental importance in modern terms, is the sphere of security and defence. The development of cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union in this area is an essential key to successful completion of the process of integration of Ukraine into the European Union's political space. In the article the issues of the legal regulation of relations between Ukraine and the European Union in the field of security and defense are studied. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the main stages of the formation and development either the common security and defense policy of the European Union and main stages of the cooperation between the European Union and Ukraine in this sphere. The common security and defense policy of the European Union is a result of the complicated processes of the European integration which lasted for practically 70 years starting in 1948. The provisions of the bilateral international treaties and agreements, which are define main principles of the cooperation between the Parties in this field, are outlined. The provisions of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union in this regard are analyzed i.e. those, which are based on defined principles of cooperation between the parties in this area which are contained therein. The promising areas of cooperation between the Ukraine and the European Union in the sphere of security and defense are highlighted. Among the major directions of the cooperation, which are set by the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, are analyzed the provisions concerning the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, the fight against terrorism, military and technical cooperation. It is noted, that in conditions of the significant internal and external challenges faced by Ukraine in the field of defense and security, the development of cooperation in this area with the European Union is as relevant as never before. However, it is clear that although the provisions of the Association Agreement are related to security and defense issues, and are the step in the right direction, but they do not solve all the issues that may be the subject of cooperation in this area. However, we note that the instruments provided by the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union can deepen this cooperation and bring it to a new level. Key words : Common Security and Defense Policy, the Association Agreement, the European Union, Ukraine- European Union cooperation


Pharmaceutical Analysis can be considered as an interdisciplinary subject. Pharmaceutical Analysis derives its principles from various branches like chemistry, physics, and microbiology etc. it plays a major role in Pharmaceutical Analytical techniques are applied mainly in two areas, viz quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis, although there are several other applications. Drugs and pharmaceuticals are chemicals or like substances, which are of organic, inorganic or other origin. Whatever may be the origin, we use some property of the medicinal agent to measure them quantitatively or qualitatively.


Introduction The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Working Group on the Revision of Report 44 (WGRR44) has been charged with the task of recommending the minimum didactic medical physics education requirements for physicists seeking to enter a Medical Physics Residency program accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP). It is required that all CAMPEP-approved graduate education programs meet these minimum didactic requirements, so that their graduates are eligible to enter CAMPEP-accredited medical physics residency programs. However, the primary purpose of separately and clearly defining the minimum didactic requirements is to give unambiguous guidance to those wishing to enter a CAMPEP-accredited residency through an alternative pathway, i.e., without completing a graduate degree in medical physics but with a graduate degree in some other appropriate field (e.g., physics, electrical engineering, etc.). Defining academic entrance requirements for CAMPEP-accredited residency programs is an important issue, since beginning in 2014 all medical physicists wishing to take the American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification exam in any of the three sub-specialties of radiologic physics will be required to have successfully completed a CAMPEP-accredited medical physics residency program to be eligible for Part 2 of the examination. There are also undergraduate prerequisite physics course requirements defined by the ABR and these are not addressed in this document.


The comment letter by McElduff (1) acknowledges that our study (2) is an excellent example of the research needed to determine optimal glycemic targets for mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The primary objective of our study was to describe the body composition at birth of infants born to mothers with GDM compared with infants born to mothers with normal glucose tolerance using air-displacement plethysomography (2). Body composition at birth, measured accurately by air-displacement plethysomography, is a more sensitive marker of the intrauterine environment than weight alone, and includes estimates of fat mass and fat-free mass.

To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that infant body composition …

This study concerns a hybrid illumination device that applied lighting by sunlight, natural light, and light emitting diode (LED), artificial light. The device may provide natural light to all places needing sunlight by effectively using lighting and induction instruments at daytime and supply illumination using LED, an artificial light source, at nighttime. In addition, LED illumination may replace natural light in areas where natural light is hard to reach during daytime. This study examines a hybrid illumination device that may control intensity of illumination both at daytime and at nighttime. Sunlight varies by season; It has diversity according to changes in weather and in altitude of the sun. Therefore, the device may be used as constant, natural indoor illumination by controlling the intensity of illumination with LED lighting, assistant illumination, during daytime and major illumination during nighttime. This technology may utilize massive amounts of new and renewable energies radiated to the earth, may efficiently save energies used for existing illumination devices, and is eco-friendly. Such hybrid illuminator may be applied to a diversity of structures for growth of plants and animals that need light and for energy saving. The artificial light source part was made possible to adjust mol of photons at a range between 0 and 100%, thereby being able to grow various kinds of plants using mol of photons needed for their photosynthesis.


The recent globalization recession (2007-08) and its effect is all pervasive, the only 1 2 3 difference is of magnitude. Gems and Jewelry is of the largest contributor in India's total export. Out of this total export of India diamond contributes more than 12 per cent. Gujarat is the one of the biggest player in diamond processing (cutting and polishing) and contributes about 72 per cent of the total exports of India. As diamond industry is mainly export based industry, during recession it adversely gets affected. This paper is an attempt to evaluate the effect of the global slowdown on the cutting and polishing worker. The paper is a case study of diamond industry workers of Surat based on the primary and secondary data that has been collected from 100 diamond cutting and polishing workers of the diamond industry located in Surat of Gujarat. The paper comes up with the conclusion that the recent recession adversely affected the socio-economic condition of the diamond worker and the scheme of social and economic benefits to the effected people fails miserably to support.

Recently, a growing research effort has been aimed at the problem of reconstructing the extreme near field radiated by the antenna from measured field data. Inverse source or the equivalent current/source method (EQC) based on discretization of integral equations has attracted considerable attention due to a host of promising applications in antenna design and diagnostics [1]–[8]. The integral equation approach constitutes a complement to more established tools such as plane-wave or spherical-wave expansion. At the expense of heavier computational burden this method offers a greater generality and flexibility since it allows reconstructing sources on any arbitrary 3-D surfaces enclosing the antenna under test (AUT). In [8] a unified EQC formulation was presented, in which the Equivalence Theorem is used to determine the set of equivalent electric and magnetic sources fully representing the fields on the reconstruction surface. This allows the extreme near field to be reconstructed from measured field data. The spatial filtering properties of the new EQC formulation was reported in [9]-[10] in which the method was shown to be efficient at eliminating radiation contributions from unwanted sources such as scattering from cables and support structures. In this work we examine the application of the EQC method as a diagnostics tool in practical measurement situations on different antennas recently reported in the literature [11]-[12]. An investigation of the level of details obtainable in practical measurement situations is also reported


This study was aimed to investigate the Portulaca oleracea is a succulent plant in Portulacaceae family distributed around different regions of Iraq as collected widely in the gardens of Baghdad governorate. The results of this study shown that a systematic significant of morphological and anatomical data. Individuals of purslane showed herb habit with branched shoot stems. Stems and leaves are glabrous and leaves are alternate, the petiole is absent. There is variation in morphological characters as (Flowers, inflorescence architecture), these inflorescences were viewed as clustered in the form of small one carrying many male and female flowers as the inflorescences take the form of long-stemmed. The flowering season for this species is from April till August as a weed in plains, however, anatomical techniques have been used as it revealed two patterns of stomatal complex, paracytic which is the most common followed by tetacytic is limited distributed type and it is recorded for the first time in this species. Druses crystals have been found distributed in the stem with angular collenchyma alternating with xylem parenchyma cells with large intercellular space. As well as, root anatomy has been done and the results showed casperian strips cells clearly in section with xylem and phloem regions.


One of the key roles of the present era in the management of an organization is intelligence. This influences the management of employees as well as applicability of human capital within the organization at a particular time. The significance of intelligence to both employees and organizations for the smooth operation of the organization cannot be overemphasized. It not only depicts the theoretical bases of intelligence in organizations but it also outlines the practical reflections at workplace. The purpose of this study is to develop a new scale that can be adopted in the evaluation of organizational intelligence based on management and competence in decision-making within firms in as far as trade, industry, finance and services tailored to transformation of companies operating in the business sector is concerned. Equally, a new methodology for testing the consistency of financial data of the companies in relation to this scale will also be introduced.

This article takes as its field of interest education-related research that is conducted online. It engages directly with issues concerning ethical research conduct when investigating online practices, with reference to studies whose data is drawn solely from cyberspaces, as well as to studies that include an Internet-based investigation component (e.g. studies of what children do when participating in online social spaces outside school, compared with what they do in class in terms of Internet and computer use). The aim of this article is to develop a set of principles that will serve as a starting point for developing guidelines for ethical online research within education arenas. In keeping with this aim, the article is organised in the first instance by addressing front end, in process and back end ethical concerns within the research process. These 'points' of focus are applied directly to what can be called 'bearers of moral consequences'; that is, groups of people or communities most directly affected by ethical decisions in a given study. In the present case, 'the researched' or study participants are examined first, followed by the 'researcher's craft' and her responsibilities toward the research community as an effective practitioner of research relevant to education. These two sections are followed by a related discussion of ethical concerns and responsibilities where two other bearers of moral consequences are concerned: supervisors and their graduate students, and consumers of research. The article concludes with three maxims developed from these discussions that can act as useful guides in making decisions where ethical conduct, education research and cyberspace are concerned.


Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of clock-wise and counter clock wise tetragonal jump on agility and sprint of senior high school students. The population of this research is male students of the Senior High School 12 Yogyakarta. The sample random sampling technique is utilized to select 75 students as the sample of this study. They are divided into two treatment groups and control groups. The data were analyzed by Anacova at significant level of 5%. This study concludes that the clock-wise tetragonal jump is more effective in increasing agility than counter clock-wise one. However, both clock-wise and counter clock wise tetragonal jump do not have significant effect on sprint. Keywords: tetragonal jump, agility, and sprint


This article tries to clarify the trajectory of SINAES, the Brazilian National Higher Education Evaluation System, since its original emancipatory proposal until the Law 10.861/2004. The text describes aspects related to the trajectory of Brazilian institutional evaluation, with emphasis on the Program of Institutional Evaluation of Brazilian Universities (PAIUB) and Provao/Evaluation of Teaching Conditions (ACE). The text also presents a synthesis of the conception and design of the original proposal of SINAES and, finally, a critical and conceptual analysis of the law which instituted the new evaluation system known as SINAES.


The coherence length of frequency-doubled light generated in an optical fiber pumped by light at λ = 1.064 μm was measured interferometrically. The largest bandwidth for second-harmonic generation in a fiber was measured to be approximately 3 A. By coupling light at 1.064 and 0.532 μm simultaneously into an unprepared fiber, a dynamic grating was created in the fiber. This grating made it possible to frequency double different wavelengths in the IR region.

An electroencephalographic study was made of the effects of Panparnit, Parsidol, Largactil and Artane, in an attempt to analyze the mechanism of the central action reported in laboratory and clinical trials for those drugs.

The electroencephalogram of the unanesthetized curarized rabbit shows some characteristic modifications after the administration of the drugs which consists mainly in a blocking of the normal cortical generalized response to external stimuli.

The administration of nicotine provokes a grand mat-like EEG discharge illustrating a central action of the drug. The convulsive seizure elicited by nicotine can no longer be obtained after treatment with any of the drugs studied.

Further experiments made in the "encephale isole" preparation of the rabbit, in which all afferent spinal pathways are cut at the level of the first vertebra, show clearly the direct central effect of the drugs.

The site of action is considered to be at the level of the reticular substance and a probable cholinergic mechanism of action is discussed.

Swelling performance of the physical and chemical properties and mechanical properties of change was investigated for three typical rubbers in different methanol gasoline and comparing with swelling of ethanol gasoline system.Results showed that the NBR in different concentrations of methanol,length and mass and volume change rate was less than 6%.And the length of the smallest rate of change was less than 3%.Mechanical properties obviously decreased after swelling.For FKM,physical and chemical properties and mechanical properties change in gasoline were minimal,and in M30 was the maximum.The change physical and chemical properties were increased over time which was gradually enlarged,and the change of mechanical properties not changed significantly with time.Under the same conditions,FKM changes were greater than the physical and chemical properties and mechanical properties of NBR and HNBR,the change of NBR was similar to HNBR.The swelling degree of NBR in methanol gasoline was similar to ethanol gasoline.


Westernized lifestyle has been blamed for allergy epidemics. One of its characteristics is increased distances and frequency of travelling from early life onwards. Early life travelling to places which substantially differ from home environment in terms of climate, vegetation and food could increase the exposure to further unknown allergens and hence promote the development of allergies, but no epidemiological study has investigated this speculation.


In this paper a new approach for the optimization of a double truncated corner microstrip square patch antenna is proposed by exploiting method-of-moments (MoM) calculator of Matlab Antenna Toolbox. A problem solution isiteratively updated according to the optimization criteria, i.e., find the minimum axial ratio (AR) at the target frequency within the impedancebandwidth S$_{\mathbf{11}}$\textbf{"-10 dB. An update mechanism for the optimization variable domains is implemented to refine the solution step-by-step. In the proposed example it is found that this approach converges to a feasible solution in few steps (less than an hour).


We argue that Lovelock theories of gravity suffer from shock formation, unlike General Relativity. We consider the propagation of (i) a discontinuity in curvature, and (ii) weak, high frequency, gravitational waves. Such disturbances propagate along characteristic hypersurfaces of a "background" spacetime and their amplitude is governed by a transport equation. In GR the transport equation is linear. In Lovelock theories, it is nonlinear and its solutions can blow up, corresponding to the formation of a shock. We show that this effect is absent in some simple cases e.g. a flat background spacetime, and demonstrate its presence for a plane wave background. We comment on weak cosmic censorship, the evolution of shocks, and the nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime, in Lovelock theories.


Thanks to the swift advance of semiconductor technology companies continually do introduce new embedded functions in their integrated circuits. Embedded support functions, such as for Design-for-Testability, have already become traditional. Today, advanced embedded functions, beyond DFT, are being introduced into new designs to enhance the overall reliability of an IC, to contribute to the analysis of its defects, and to help optimize the yield. This embedded tutorial will discuss a variety of advanced design practices meant to improve reliability and yield.

Mitigation of blast pressure using water in a walled container was evaluated. A PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) pellet of 1.4 g near the model wall was detonated on a steel plate. A water-filled container was placed between the explosive and the wall. The pressure histories at six points, which corresponded to Hopkinson scaled distance of from 3.6 m·kg to 21.7 m·kg were evaluated along with dependence of mitigation effects on the amount of water and the position of the container. The presence of the water and the wall mitigated the peak overpressure near the explosion points and the positive impulse along all points. The mitigation effect was equivalent to 20-30% reduction of explosive weight based on discussion of the equivalent ratio. The presence of the water along the wall (not very close to the explosive) also mitigated the blast pressure.


The paper introduces a method of transition from Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL) into Prolog system and vice versa, in order to utilize Prolog inference machine in the deductive system of TIL. Agents communicate in the TIL-Script language, a computational variant of the expressive TIL system, which serves as a content language of agents' messaging. However, since a great expressive power is inversely proportional to an easy implementation of a suitable automatic deductive system, we specify a subset of the set of TIL constructions the elements of which can be encoded in Prolog language. Moreover, due to the weaker expressivity of Prolog we have to build up a TIL functional overlay that makes it possible to realize the reverse transition from Prolog into TIL in a near to equivalent way.


The growth and features of Cynolossus semilaevis(Gunther) are studied. The results show that Cynolossus semilaevis do not stop growing until 6 years old, and it grows most rapidly before 3 years old. The growth rates of length,width and thickness vary at different age stages, as they appear in different body features.


In this paper we discuss the environmental effects on the radial breathing mode (RBM) spectra of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs). We have shown that the environmental effect on the radial breathing mode frequencies can be explained by Van‐der‐Waals interactions. We here explore these interactions concerning its (n,m) dependence and curvature effects. Furthermore, most of the optical transition energies available in the literature (ELit.ii ) are downshiftedwith respect to the optical transition energies for super‐growth (S.G.) tubes (ES.G.ii ). The effect on transition energies can be understood considering the effect of the dielectric constant of the medium in the excitonic optical transition. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Silicon germanium on insulator (SGOI) is a straightforward material for ultimate device scaling. This substrate combines two advantages: high carrier's velocity of the Si1 - xGex  alloy and low parasitic capacitance due to the presence of a buried oxide. Several fabrication techniques for SGOI substrates, as SMOX, SMART-CUTtrade or liquid phase epitaxy have been proposed. Tezuka et al. present a new approach involving an epitaxial growth of low Ge contents SiGe alloy on SOI substrate followed by a high temperature oxidation. By selective oxidation of Silicon and diffusion of Germanium within the remaining SGOI layer, Ge content increases. A high Ge concentration SGOI layer is then obtained. Ge condensation technique is based on two competitive mechanisms: silicon oxidation involving Ge pill up at the oxide interface and Ge diffusion within the SiGe layer. Both take place during the high temperature oxidation. To favour Ge diffusion and carry out homogeneous SGOI profiles, we propose an improved Ge condensation technique with a multi-steps oxidation. Samples have been characterized by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), X ray reflection (XRR), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and secondary ions mass spectroscopy (SIMS), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) to assess the process quality for uniform SGOI fabrication with different Ge contents. Relaxation of SGOI layers has been observed either by atomic force microscopy or Raman spectroscopy. Influence of oxidation time has been studied and well defined oxidation recipes are proposed to obtain different Ge content SGOI substrates. Numerical simulations including the initial parameters, i.e., top SOI thickness, SiGe grown layer thickness and compositions have been studied by Athena software


Early clinical evaluation and comparison with Priodax demonstrated the much denser gallbladder shadows found after ingestion of Telepaque in 3-gm. dosage and also showed a high incidence of unabsorbed contrast material in the colon. These findings pointed to the possibility that the 3-gm. dosage might be excessive, and it was suggested by others and concurred in by us that a thorough trial of a smaller dosage was indicated (1–6). Accordingly, a routine 2-gm. dosage was instituted at the University Hospital. Following the trial period for accumulation of data, this proved so satisfactory that it has been continued as standard cholecystographic procedure. A previous study at this institution (6) evaluated the side-effects of the 3-gm. dose of Telepaque in comparison with an equal dose of Priodax. Under identical conditions, cholecystographic subjects were interviewed by a physician as they passed through the gastrointestinal suite, and the side-effects of the 2-gm. dosage were tabulated. The contrast materi...


The main objectives of this project are to investigate the effects of tool pin profile and rotational speed towards the joint strength, hardness value, microstructural changes and defects on aluminium AA1100 welded joint. The welding process was done by using friction stir welding technique (FSW) using cylindrical tool pin and cylindrical threaded tool pin. The weld quality was evaluated by mechanical test and metallurgical analysis. Microstructural analysis was done by using optical microscope while Vickers hardness tests and tensile test was conducted to analyze the mechanical properties of weld joint. From the cross sectional area of the weld region, it is found that a wormhole defect occur throughout the weld region. The threaded pin profile produce the highest hardness value which is 68.09 HV at 1700 rpm while highest tensile strength is 113.02 MPa at 1600 rpm. The analysis from both microstructural and mechanical test shows that cylindrical threaded tool pin profile produce better weld quality compared to cylindrical pin samples.


We present a novel context-aware attention-based deep architecture for image caption generation. Our architecture employs a Bidirectional Grid LSTM, which takes visual features of an image as input and learns complex spatial patterns based on two-dimensional context, by selecting or ignoring its input. The Grid LSTM has not been applied to image caption generation task before. Another novel aspect is that we leverage a set of local region-grounded texts obtained by transfer learning. The region-grounded texts often describe the properties of the objects and their relationships in an image. To generate a global caption for the image, we integrate the spatial features from the Grid LSTM with the local region-grounded texts, using a two-layer Bidirectional LSTM. The first layer models the global scene context such as object presence. The second layer utilizes a novel dynamic spatial attention mechanism, based on another Grid LSTM, to generate the global caption word-by-word, while considering the caption context around a word in both directions. Unlike recent models that use a soft attention mechanism, our dynamic spatial attention mechanism considers the spatial context of the image regions. Experimental results on MS-COCO dataset show that our architecture outperforms the state-of-the-art.

The development of the pseudo-isotropic flywheel concept Alpha-ply is discussed. Analytic and experimental results are presented, and the finite-element evaluation of the concept is described. The construction of the low-cost reliable and moderate-energy-density flywheel (potential energy density as high as 30 Wh/lb) consists of a layup of composite glass material into a uniform thickness disk. Reasons for the failure of the first 30-in. od E-glass/Kevlar-wrapped alpha 2 wheel are suggested.


This paper aimed to describe and interpret the history of the docilization and interdiction of the body in the Brazilian education based on the thoughts of the French philosopher Michel Foucault and the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire by making use of the epistemological categories docile bodies and pedagogical interdiction . The hermeneutics was used as the research methodology for the interpretive analysis of data. At first, it was presented a bibliographical research based on the literary work of Michel Foucault, in particular the Discipline and Punish where he deals with the disciplined and docile bodies . From this perspective, this paper analyzed how this process has been building up and been solidifying over time since the 18th century, in particular for the pedagogical practice. The docilization of the students' bodies can be interpreted as an act of violence against the bodies with the objective of making them homogeneous and useful, using disciplinary procedures to punish and normalize them. The docile bodies, submissive and educated for life in society are fabricated through the hierarchical observation, the normalizing sanctions and the examination pointed out by Foucault (2009b). As a second related step, the objective of this paper was to provide a historical context of the Jesuitical education (1549-1759) which left marks in the body of men and women in Brazil and the historical legacy left behind by the colonizers and educators during that time. This paper also aimed to identify the historical context of the interdiction of the body in the pedagogical practice. It is important to highlight the bodies denied-to-be throughout history were the bodies of the native Brazilian people (indigenous), women and Afro-Brazilians. For this purpose, this research made use of the theoretical arguments of Paulo Freire (1992, 2001b, 2003, 2005, 2009) to understand the phenomenon of the violence of the interdiction and denial of the body, particularly when he approaches the concepts of assistencialism, mutism and domestication in the history of the Brazilian education. Ana Maria Freire (2001a) contributes to think the history of the interdiction of the body in education since the arrival of the first educators to Brazil, the Jesuits. This paper drove to the conclusion that the docilization and interdiction of the bodies in the education has began with the arrival of the Jesuits to Brazil and has left a legacy that remains to this very day as, for example, the banking concept of education of which Freire (2005) describes it in the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed . As the result of the dialogue between Foucault and Freire, based on the interpretative analysis of the history of education, it is understood that to make the bodies of the students docile and disciplined, the banking education (FFREIRE, 2005) makes use of the reproductive of knowledge, of the hierarchical observation, the normalizing sanctions and the examination (FOUCAULT, 2009b). This paper aimed to describe and interpret the history of the docilization and interdiction of the body in the Brazilian education based on the thoughts of the French philosopher Michel Foucault and the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire by making use of the epistemological categories docile bodies and pedagogical interdiction . The hermeneutics was used as the research methodology for the interpretive analysis of data. At first, it was presented a bibliographical research based on the literary work of Michel Foucault, in particular the Discipline and Punish where he deals with the disciplined and docile bodies . From this perspective, this paper analyzed how this process has been building up and been solidifying over time since the 18th century, in particular for the pedagogical practice. The docilization of the students' bodies can be interpreted as an act of violence against the bodies with the objective of making them homogeneous and useful, using disciplinary procedures to punish and normalize them. The docile bodies, submissive and educated for life in society are fabricated through the hierarchical observation, the normalizing sanctions and the examination pointed out by Foucault (2009b). As a second related step, the objective of this paper was to provide a historical context of the Jesuitical education (1549-1759) which left marks in the body of men and women in Brazil and the historical legacy left behind by the colonizers and educators during that time. This paper also aimed to identify the historical context of the interdiction of the body in the pedagogical practice. It is important to highlight the bodies denied-to-be throughout history were the bodies of the native Brazilian people (indigenous), women and Afro-Brazilians. For this purpose, this research made use of the theoretical arguments of Paulo Freire (1992, 2001b, 2003, 2005, 2009) to understand the phenomenon of the violence of the interdiction and denial of the body, particularly when he approaches the concepts of assistencialism, mutism and domestication in the history of the Brazilian education. Ana Maria Freire (2001a) contributes to think the history of the interdiction of the body in education since the arrival of the first educators to Brazil, the Jesuits. This paper drove to the conclusion that the docilization and interdiction of the bodies in the education has began with the arrival of the Jesuits to Brazil and has left a legacy that remains to this very day as, for example, the banking concept of education of which Freire (2005) describes it in the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed . As the result of the dialogue between Foucault and Freire, based on the interpretative analysis of the history of education, it is understood that to make the bodies of the students docile and disciplined, the banking education (FFREIRE, 2005) makes use of the reproductive of knowledge, of the hierarchical observation, the normalizing sanctions and the examination (FOUCAULT, 2009b).


Human disease caused byPasteurella multocidais well documented, and a wide variety of clinical syndromes have been described. We describe herein a patient with vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis, and paravertebral abscess caused byP multocida, a presentation that has not been described previously, to our knowledge.

The demand for Composite structures is increasing in different engineering fields such as automobile, aircraft, civil because of its higher specific mechanical properties. It's very important to consider failure modes like fiber breakage, delamination, matrix cracking, etc. when it is impacted by a foreign object such as dropping of tool (impact type events). Susceptibility of damage due to low velocity impact is more in the laminated composite structures than metal. It is important to study the response of composite for varying velocities with different boundary conditions in case of low velocity impact analysis. Thus, this paper presents the combined effect of different boundary conditions with varying velocities of impactor on low velocity impact modelling of CFRP composite laminates. Numerical analysis is performed on T700GC/M21 material with layup [02/452/902/-452]s to study the force-time/displacement curve. Numerical analysis is performed using ABAQUS 6.14. First, Numerical analysis is carried out for impactor velocities varying from 2.5 m/s to 10 m/s. In ABAQUS/Explicit, two boundary conditions i.e. simply supported edges boundary condition SSSS and Clamped supported edges, CCCC are used to study the force-time/displacement curve. Out of that numerical results of impactor velocity 5 m/s with boundary condition SSSS is validated with results of literature by studying force-time/displacement curves. The numerical findings revealed that; as impactor velocity increases, the force and displacement also increases. Also, current simulation results are closely matching with the existing numerical and experimental data.

Combinatorial auctions where bidders can bid on bundles of items can lead to more economical allocations, but determining the winners is NP-complete and inapproximable. We present CABOB, a sophisticated search algorithm for the problem. It uses decomposition techniques, upper and lower bounding (also across components), elaborate and dynamically chosen bid ordering heuristics, and a host of structural observations. Experiments against CPLEX 7.0 show that CABOB is usually faster, never drastically slower, and in many cases drastically faster. We also uncover interesting aspects of the problem itself. First, the problems with short bids that were hard for the first-generation of specialized algorithms are easy. Second, almost all of the CATS distributions are easy, and become easier with more bids. Third, we test a number of random restart strategies, and show that they do not help on this problem because the run-time distribution does not have a heavy tail (at least not for CABOB).


This chapter discusses the life and legend of two train robbers active in Alabama in the 1890s – Railroad Bill and Rube Burrow. While there is a tendency to see train robbers as embodiments of resistance to capitalism, this chapter argues that it is more useful to see these men as personification of the dangers of capitalism. In their train robbing careers, Rube Burrow and Railroad Bill both exploited the increasing systemization, expansion, connectivity, and circulation of the southern railroad network. The crimes of these men touched off panicky reactions that revealed southerners anxieties about the railroad itself. In the end, these anxieties were obscured by the mythmaking that occurred after their violent deaths. Railroad Bill faded into legend as the subject of a folk song that stretched the truth about his deeds and popular memory and the media conflated Rube Burrow's legend with that of Jesse James and sought to portray him as an anti-capitalist and neo-confederate avenger.

• The homicide rate increased 4% in 2002. There were 582 homicides in 2002, 29 more than the previous year. The increase in the number of homicides at the national level was driven by a large increase in British Columbia, up from 84 homicides in 2001 to 126 in 2002. Part of this increase is a result of homicide investigations undertaken by the Missing Women's Task Force in Port Coquitlam, B.C. which resulted in 15 homicides which occurred in previous years being reported by police in 2002.

Postnonclassical strategies of realization of a thing-human partnership are offered.


Recently the research agenda of the study of early Iron Age Palestine has shifted. The focus on the Iron Age I settlement is 'out' , to debate the historicity of the United Kingdom and the archaeological chronology of the 10 th – 9 th centuries B.C.E. is 'in'. ISRAEL FINKELSTEIN's 'low chronology' (henceforward, LC) 1 is debated against the former, 'high chronology' (HC) . This paper does not offer a new chronology, nor does it compare pottery assemblages and strata. Rather, it reviews the whole body of FINKELSTEIN's writing on the LC and discusses its methodology and development from a perspective of seven years (1995 – 2002) . I assume that readers are familiar with the debate, and will not describe each argument and counter argument. I will study the achievements of the LC as stated by FINKELSTEIN; its theoretical basis and some of its basic conceptions, and comment on some related issues. This paper is not written in order to support the historicity of the United Monarchy (cf. Solomon, holding 'his' temple, Taf. 1). In the course of this study, some phases of development are noted within the LC. Since the correlation between date of writing and date of publication is not always direct, these phases are not specified by exact years – I have no wish to start a debate about the chronology of the low chronology. I have tried to maintain accuracy when translating from Hebrew versions of LC papers.


The organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) technology is now maturing. The unique physics and chemistry of quantum dots (QDs) result in a wider color gamut and increased stability over organic dyes meaning they have significant potential over organics in light‐emitting devices. This article reviews the state of the art of OLEDs and quantum dot light emitting diode (QLEDs) followed by a comparison of devices fabricated with organic materials, in particular those of polymers, metal complexes (fluorescent and phosphorescent), and small molecules. Results of three devices: two red and one green are presented showing the excellent color coordinates that can be achieved from QD devices.

In this paper some properties of fgspr-continuous functions are studied. It is shown that the class of all fgspr-irresolute functions implies the class of all fgspr * -continuous functions and the class of all fgspr * -continuous functions implies the class of all fgspr-continuous functions.


The multitudes of our countrymen who cross the Atlantic in pursuit of commerce, or led by curiosity, render a work of this kind very desirable, especially as no publication of the kind existed previous to this, except perhaps the vague remarks of Volney, more than 40 years ago. This volume is based chiefly on the statistical reports of the army, and embraces a period of 20 years, viz. from 1819 to 1839?the result of our author's


Many transporters involved in renal electrolyte transport have recently been identified and cloned. The availability of genetically manipulated mice, especially transgenic knockout and overexpression models, has made it possible to examine ion transport in kidney tubules in the absence of specific transporters whose function in defined tubule segments is well known. Such selective alterations in transport functions are also useful to investigate adaptive mechanisms by which the kidney compensates for specific transport lesions. Examples of mouse models displaying altered renal transport function include targeted disruption of genes encoding the Na-H exchanger isoforms NHE2 and NHE3, the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter TSC, CFTR, and the colonic isoform of the H,K-ATPase. Moreover, mice with null mutation in the Na-H exchanger isoform NHE1 have been also identified. In addition, a strain of mice with enhanced H,K-ATPase expression due to a defective endocytosis signal has been developed. Other transporter knockout models will soon become available. In this review we focus on the physiological characterization of renal tubule transport in animals with well-defined genetic transport lesions.

Karger AG, Basel 1018–7782/98/0065–0447$15.00/0 Accessible online at: http://BioMedNet.com/karger Introduction Recent progress in molecular genetics has strongly influenced nephrology and renal physiology. Since the identification of gene mutations that cause monogenic hereditary renal diseases and disorders of tubular transport, physiological characterization, still in its early stages, of knockout and transgenic animals will expand our knowledge of renal physiology and pathophysiology [1]. Relevant examples include animals lacking apical and basolateral Na-H exchangers in the proximal tubule, absence of NaCl cotransport in the distal convoluted tubule, and either lack or excess of K-H exchangers in the distal nephron. Alterations in tubulo-glomerular feedback (TGF) responses in mice lacking the angiotensin-II receptor type 1A (AT1A) have also been observed and a mouse model for a salt-wasting syndrome owing to abnormal Na+-channel function has been described. Role of Na+ /H+-Exchange in Proximal Tubule


An adaptive and fast constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm based on automatic censoring (AC) is proposed for target detection in high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. First, an adaptive global threshold is selected to obtain an index matrix which labels whether each pixel of the image is a potential target pixel or not. Second, by using the index matrix, the clutter environment can be determined adaptively to prescreen the clutter pixels in the sliding window used for detecting. The G 0 distribution, which can model multilook SAR images within an extensive range of degree of homogeneity, is adopted as the statistical model of clutter in this paper. With the introduction of AC, the proposed algorithm gains good CFAR detection performance for homogeneous regions, clutter edge, and multitarget situations. Meanwhile, the corresponding fast algorithm greatly reduces the computational load. Finally, target clustering is implemented to obtain more accurate target regions. According to the theoretical performance analysis and the experiment results of typical real SAR images, the proposed algorithm is shown to be of good performance and strong practicability.

By using LKB2277 Bioactivity Monitor, we determined the thermogenic power curves of Halobacterium halobium R1, J7, S9 and F9. Thermokinetic equation, ln[ P(1-P/P m) r -1 ]=ln[ P 0(1-P 0/P m) r-1 ]+kt ,was established based on the characteristics of growth curves. The growth rate constants( k ) of Halobacterium halobium growth were obtained. This thermokinetic equation is very suitable for Halobacterium halobium growth. It was compared with exponential and logistic growth model. It is very significant for the study of the growth and characteristics of the third kind of life, Archaea.


In this paper we discuss the effect of gravitational frame dragging on orbiting qubits. In particular, we consider the Kerr spacetime geometry and spin-1/2 qubits moving in an equatorial radial fall with zero angular momentum and equatorial circular orbits. We ignore the ${\cal O}(\hbar)$ order effects due to spin-curvature coupling, which allows us to consider the motion of the spin-1/2 particles as Kerr geometry geodesics. We derive analytical expressions for the infinitesimal Wigner rotation and numerical results for their integration across the length of the particle's trajectory. To this end, we consider the bounds on the finite Wigner rotation imposed by Penrose's cosmic censorship hypothesis.

In this paper we show how to de ne and prove di erent properties of a software architecture description based on the CHAM. We consider both structural properties, that is properties of the system which are connected with its structure either static and dynamic, and functional properties, that is properties on how the system manipulates its data. We will use a logic approach to describe the properties and a model checking approach to verify them. As case study we take the software architecture of a sender-receiver system.

As electricity supply expands, it is essential for providers to predict and analyze consumer electricity patterns to plan effective electricity supply policies. In general, electricity consumption data take the form of time series data, and to analyze the data, it is first necessary to check if there is no data contamination. For this, the process of verifying that there are no abnormalities in the data is essential. Especially for power data, anomalies are often recorded over multiple time units rather than a single point. In addition, due to various external factors, each set of power consumption data does not have consistent data features, so the importance of pre-clustering is highlighted. In this paper, we propose a method using a CNN model using pre-clustering-based time series images to detect anomalies in time series power usage data. For pre-clustering, the performances were compared using k-means, k-shapes clustering, and SOM algorithms. After pre-clustering, a method using the ARIMA model, a statistical technique for anomaly detection, and a CNN-based model by converting time series data into images compared the methods used. As a result, the pre-clustered data produced higher accuracy anomaly detection results than the non-clustered data, and the CNN-based binary classification model using time series images had higher accuracy than the ARIMA model.


Fibers with a photonic crystal cladding are a new type of optical waveguide whose unique properties are of special interest in the context of the possibility of solving many urgent problems of modern optics. The cladding in the fibers of this type has the structure of a two-dimensional photonic crystal. It consists of a 2D periodic or random array of closely packed hollow glass fibers. If a fiber without a hole is used to make the core of such a structure, then the missing hole can be considered as a defect in 2D photonic crystal lattice. These photonic crystal fibers - holey fibers - support single mode propagation regime within a broad spectral range, allowing radiation energy losses to be considerably reduced in the single mode regime and the effective area of the waveguide mode to be substantially increased. These properties of holey fibers seem to hold much promise for enhancing the efficiency of nonlinear-optical interactions, pulse compression and creation of new efficient broadband radiation sources. In this paper we focus in several new proposed glass photonic crystal structures: technology of their fabrication, investigation of their optical properties using experiments and modeling.


Organizational experts have long touted the importance of delivering negative performance feedback in a manner that enhances employee receptivity to feedback, yet the broader impacts of constructive feedback have received relatively little attention. The present investigation explored the impact of constructive, critical feedback on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) intentions and job satisfaction. A demographically diverse sample of 128 employees drawn from a variety of organizations completed a survey online. Employees whose supervisors used constructive feedback felt more respected by their supervisors and perceived greater opportunities for advancement within the organization. These variables, in turn, predicted better mood at work, greater job satisfaction, and stronger OCB intentions. The present findings highlight the importance of delivering performance feedback in a manner that emphasizes problematic behaviors over personal weaknesses and makes clear reference to standards and strategies for improvement. Implications for managerial training and human resource development are discussed.


Objective: Describing the experience of Brazilian ́s families of preterm child during the transition period from NICU to home and analyze the extension in which the guidelines of the National Humanization Policy were present in the support experienced by those families. Method: Sixteen family members took part of this qualitative and descriptive study and were heard four times, through semi-structured recorded interviews throughout the first month at home. Two thematic categories described it: 'family's stress post discharge' and 'management of daily care'. Results: Parents have never mentioned special attention and support by nurses or health professionals, especially from the Primary Health Care. The transition period from NICU to home requires earlier and continued follow-up assistance. Conclusion: In the reality of this study do not have support in the transition period provided by health staff, so, the guidelines of the National Humanization Policy are underused.


In this article the different mishaps that the Carinena wine has undergone to be commercialized since the last century are shown. The study begins with the success and the high price of the wine, due to the French demand, after the phylloxera invasion in the neighbouring country, also favoured by the opening of the narrow-gauge railway Zaragoza-Carinena, and followed by the superproduction crises and the subsequent fall of the prices after the end of the Commercial Treaty with France. Afterwards, we explain the slow recovery along this century, giving the exported quantities in the last quarter of the century, and then analyzing more thoroughiy the situation of the foreign market nowadays, since the European trade has regained importance, specially the one in the European Union.


During the second half of the nineteenth century concerns about hysteria and other nervous diseases in males became extensive in some countries. One presumed cause of such afflictions were military conflicts such as the Franco-Prussian War of 1871. The Anglo-Saxon, at least according to many British and American commentators, had more sand, pluck, and courage than did men of other nations. In the United States, concerns about 'Soldier's Heart', a condition brought forth by the Civil War (1861–1865), were soon replaced by 'neurasthenia', a term used by American physician George Miller Beard in 1869. In an 1872 article entitled 'Are Americans Less Healthy Than Europeans', author C. S. Young hoped that the types of 'games of competition' that were infused with the values of Muscular Christianity' would become part of 'every educational establishment in the land' so that the youth of America would acquire not only muscular vigor but 'the manly virtues of truth, honor, and fair play'. Some attention would be given to such values; however, attention turned increasingly to 'gridiron football', a game likely to be infused with rampant commercialism that rapidly became the predominating sport in American institutions of higher learning. In 1898, American physician Morton H. Prince asked whether football might cause 'traumatic neurasthenia and hysteria' in males in the way that these conditions sometimes occurred among men engaged in a battle, and answered his own question by replying 'no'! Football players were so well-prepared physically and mentally that there would be 'no shock or terror' attendant upon their injuries as might occur in a military conflict. By the time the 1903 edition of Roosevelt's The Rough Riders: A History of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry was published debates about intercollegiate athletics that continue today were reaching a fever pitch.


Graphene oxide (GO) sheets, considered as "soft" two-dimensional macromolecules containing multiple aromatic regions and hydrophilic oxygen groups, can adsorb the pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) through the π-stacking interaction, thus causing pristine MWNTs to stably disperse and fractionate in aqueous media. The water-soluble and insoluble complexes can be obtained by changing the initial proportion of MWNTs to GO sheets, which are important for noncovalent approaches toward solubilizing CNTs and open a new way for GO applications in colloidal chemistry. Solubility results indicate that the GO sheets are prone to stabilize MWNTs with larger diameters. When the diameters of CNTs decrease to a critical value, the π-stacking interactions are weakened by large surface energy among CNTs themselves; the CNTs are inclined to form bundles or twisted structures instead of CNT−GO complexes. This can be probably developed into a practical method to fractionate MWNTs with different outer diameters in ...


This study investigated literacy learning in students with specific kinds of language challenges at a specific stage of schooling—transition to high school—when the language requirements of the curriculum can be especially challenging. For this exploratory research, a case study approach was adopted that compared 2 adolescent boys both with language learning problems but with 2 contrasting disabilities—autism spectrum disorder (ASD) versus oral and written language learning disability (OWL LD)—just before entry to ninth grade. Three research aims compared participants on (a) learning profiles assessed via a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment battery, (b) change in their learning profiles based on response to instruction to a computerized intervention, and (c) change in their personal narrative compositions and use of taught translation strategies collected during 6 lessons of the computerized intervention. Results indicated that participants demonstrated variable psychoeducational profiles and response to instruction that highlighted similar yet distinct patterns of strengths and weaknesses. Personal narrative writing samples showed that participants demonstrated distinct challenges, but only the participant with ASD showed no response to instruction and produced predominantly off-topic text. Results are discussed in reference to educational applications and future research design implications to understand the writing challenges experienced by children with ASD in reference to children with OWL LD or other specific learning disabilities.


Trachactinolaimus nanjingensis n. sp. isolated from mosses at the Yangshan Quarry Park in Nanjing, P.R. China, is described. It is characterised by 3.01 (2.64-3.42) mm long female and 2.84 (2.50-3.22) mm long male, four onchia with numerous mural denticles (>100), vulva with a transverse slit, 15-19 contiguous ventromedian supplements, spicules length of 61.5 (54.6-64.3) μm, and female and male both having long tail, with c′ values equal to 5.0-9.2 and 2.3-3.5, respectively. The new species was morphologically compared with T. brevicaudatus, T. dominicus, T. montanus and T. radulatus. The sequences of 18S and 28S rRNA genes of the new species were obtained using regular PCR amplification, while the ITS and mtCOI sequences were extracted from the whole genome sequencing assembly. The phylogenetic relationships of the new species were reconstructed using 18S and 28S sequences and the status of the new species was discussed. The 18S and 28S sequences of a population of genus Westindicus recovered during the present study were also obtained. This is the first time to present the ITS and mtCOI sequences of family Actinolaimidae.


The scientific interaction of game theory with computer science and operations research is broad and fundamental. It covers a large variety of applications in all three fields, and it transfers concepts, language, and results across IYields. Listing all the areas of overlap will be long and tedious. I will therefore restrict myself to discuss a few, easy to present examples, where the crossfertilization of ideas was successful, and point to a need for further research.

The accuracy of three new pseudoisochrometic tests for detecting red–green colour deficiency was assessed. These were the Ishihara plates, the Ishihara test for 'unlettered persons' and Ohkuma's lest cards. We examined 500 subjects; 471 normal trichromats and 29 colour‐deficient people, Results obtained for the 1989 edition of the Ishiliara places were compared with the 9th edition and the most efficient plates identified. Although normal trichromats may be expected to make several interpretive misreadings, the Ishihara plates were found to be superior to the 9th edition and to the Ohkuma test (1986) for colour vision screening. The new symbol designs of the Ishihara plates for 'unlettered persons' (1990) were found to be very effective for colour vision screening, and a further study with young children is proposed. The 38 plate I9S9 edition of the Ishihara les; is recommended for use in clinical practice. The designs included in the concise 24 plate edition and the new abbreviated 14 plate edition are not selected from the point of view of accuracy and more reliable results are obtained if the full lest is given or if the practitioner shows only the most efficient designs.


Electronic audio reserves, or e-audio reserves, is a highly sought-after service for academic music libraries. With the publication in 2010 of the Music Library Association's Statement on the Digital Transmission of Audio Reserves finally clarifying a library's roles and responsibilities regarding related copyright issues, librarians have been anxious to respond to the need and initiate their own e-audio reserves program. Copyright, however, is just one hurdle that music libraries are facing now that implementation is on the horizon. When an opportunity arose at Tulane University to re-build our e-audio reserves program, a survey seeking information about the hardware, software, and related security issues was sent to the Music Library Association listserv. The responses revealed a disparity in methodology and, in multiple cases, an absence of full knowledge about a library's own systems. This article traces the process of building an e-audio reserves program at Tulane University from start to finish. Beginning with an internal survey of available resources, this article reviews the departments we successfully reached out to and continue to collaborate with, the hardware and software selected to manage the program, metadata standards, workflow, and, finally, advertising the service to faculty.


Cigarette smoking is a major cardiovascular (CV) risk factor and aids to the development and progression of CV disease.

 To study the prevalence of smoking in a contemporary Spanish cardiac rehabilitation (CR) cohort, study changes in smoking status over time and define smoker's profile after CR.

 Single-centre, observational retrospective study from all consecutive patients with ischaemic heart disease (n=1379, 6.6% women, age 65.78±11.02 years) that participated in a CR program from 2015 to 2020. Prevalence of smokers was studied over time, from CV event to 6 months after end of CR, including a stratified description of smokers per age group at CV event. Additionally, a comparative analysis of patient profile for those who continued smoking and patients that quitted smoking after CR, was performed.

 N=516 patients (37.4%) were active smokers at CV event, including 72 women (31% of all women) and 444 men (38.6% of all men). Highest percentage of smokers was distributed among the youngest age groups: with a 72.6% prevalence among those aged <45 years and 57.9% among those aged 45–55 years. Smoking prevalence decreased with age. Also, there were less female than male smokers in all analysed age groups (Figure 1). At the beginning of CR, the global proportion of active smokers decreased significantly (p<0.01) to a 15.3% (n=210) and continued to significantly decrease at end of CR (10%, n=124), maintaining similar levels at 6 months follow-up (9.9%, n=96). 58% of active smokers at CV event quitted smoking by end of CR. Ongoing smokers were significantly more (p<0.05) depressed (n=20, 16.3%); and had significantly worse (p<0.05) HADS scores at beginning of CR (anxiety: 6.49±3.98, depression: 5.41±4.46), Table 1.

 Smoking is nowadays still highly prevalent among CR patients in our setting, especially among young men. Despite a significant fall in the prevalence of smokers after the end of the CR program, there is a non-negligible percentage of patients that keep smoking.
 Targeted smoking cessation interventions should be aimed at smokers that have more depression and have worse HADS scores at baseline.

Globalization has made the whole world one compartment and makes a single village a global village. Indian handicraft products have great opportunities both in the domestic and international markets. Main products of handicrafts consist of art metal wares, embroidered and crocheted goods, shawls and art wares, and Zari goods, woods wares, hand printed textiles and imitation jewelry. Indian Handicrafts, which constitutes a significant segment of the decentralized sector of the economy, its export has reached at a commendable height. Indian folk art and crafts which are the integral parts of the Indian culture and tradition are in high demand among the western consumers. A lot of manufacturing units are established in rural and small towns, which generate employment for a million of artisans. Indian exports are showing a growing trend. Like every coin has two sides, globalization is not separate from this point it also not only have positive impact on artisans industry but there are some negative consequences too on which this chapter is trying to put some light.


The present article advances the notion of musical topography to describe the engagement between a practitioner and the musical instrument, emphasizing its developmental character. From the point of view of semiotic anthropology, it is suggested that the development of such a practical engagement is guided by expressivity, and that the instrument appears not only as an extension of the body, but participates in the generation of a unitary field, where bodily motion, the instrument and the tonal space are intertwined. The development of lived musical practice draws its force from a situated tradition that consists of normative, structural and stylistic elements, and of a constellation of genres and values shaped and reshaped by generations of practitioners. Finally, it is emphasized that the notion of musical topography brings back to musical praxis its long neglected imaginative dimension.

Summary Fractions were prepared by 0 to 33% saturation with ammonium sulfate from the sera of two patients with lupus erythematosus who had circulating anticoagulants. The fractions prolonged the prothrombin and partial thromboplastin times of human but not bovine or canine plasma and inhibited the conversion of human but not bovine prothrombin to thrombin by "product 2." The findings suggest that the circulating anticoagulants are species specific inhibitors of prothrombin.


This paper studies how liquidity shocks that affect financial intermediaries are propagated to the real economy. Loans made to firms by financial intermediaries reflect their current and future anticipated borrowing constraints. As a result firms face a higher borrowing costs not only when their productivity is low (i.e. credit risk premium) but also when financial intermediaries face tight borrowing constraints (i.e. liquidity risk premium). This liquidity risk faced by financial intermediaries can contribute to a reduction of real investment made by firms. A model calibrated to aggregate data shows that this additional channel can amplify the magnitude of a recession and slow down the recovery, as observed during the 2007-2009 financial crisis.


The regrowth of P‐ or Si‐implanted InP following thermal annealing (400–600 °C, 2–20 h) has been studied using Rutherford backscattering channeling experiments. Differences in damage annealing are consistently found between identically treated 29 Si‐ or 31 P‐implanted regions on the same sample, the former always being retarded. This retardation is suggested to be caused by stoichiometric imbalance due to the recoil kinematics, which is less severe for the case of the phosphorus implantation.


This study characterized the acquisition and development of instructional control of three children who attended a daycare center. One child presented a deficit in giving, receiving and following instructions and the child's development was below scale. The instructional performance of the children was registered in video recordings of play periods for over seven months. The recordings registered: the instructions, the performance of the listeners when the instruction was received and the situations before and after the behavior of instructing and being instructed. There was an increase in instructing, being instructed and following instruction behaviors for all three children. Oral instructions and oral instructions with gestures occurred with greater frequency. The children who followed part of the instructions received intermittent reinforcement of the instructing behavior. The presentation and appropriate response to instructions was analyzed in terms of the behaviors of the speakers and listeners, and the development of instruction repertoires in children with deficits in giving and following instructions.


A Mesh Network Topological Optimization and Routing II (MENTOR-II) algorithm is a low complexity and efficient network design algorithm for IP networks with OSPF routing protocol in which appropriate link weights are assigned to the installed links such that the traffic always routes on the path with minimum distance. However, it should be noted that the flow delay of traffic assigned by MENTOR-II are not controlled because MENTOR-II gives the link weights for only assigning traffic flow into the worthy path, therefore routing of traffic flow does not get together with the traffic engineering. This study proposed a new modified version of MENTOR called Q-MENTOR which is able to assign traffic under flow delay controlled. The Q-MENTOR are evaluated in terms of installation cost, routing cost and reliability for 486 network design conditions. The design results are compared with MENTOR-II and it was found that Q-MENTOR is suitable for designing high maximum utilization networks with good delay and reliability. The results also show that low traffic flow delay requirements often present the worst installation cost, routing cost and reliability.


Significance is the constant craving as well as the pillar for man to survive.Contemporary western philosophy and Marxism put forward different answers to the question how to leap out of the existent predicament of bereavement in the modern world.Significant existence presents itself with"appropriate cognition of the concept"as a premise,"conscious interaction"as a trait,"self-realization"as a foundation and "establishment of existent faith"as a motivation.The important way to implement significant existence is the optimization of living environment,practices and the subjectivity of mind.


Introduction: hemodynamic alterations are frequent in critically ill patients of which we can mention myocardial depression, biventricular dilatation and reduced ejection fraction, both from the right and left ventricle, although the pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction is complicated, it is known that the inflammatory mechanisms and intracellular signaling of calcium, ryanodine receptor and an alteration in nitric oxide production, in addition IL1, TNF. The secondary myocardial depression conducive to septic shock is independent to volume resuscitation, which usually normalizes between the seventh to tenth day. The rational use of fluid, vasoactive and inotropic are essential for its management. Case: following we describe some cases in which we describe a hemodynamic evaluation using echocardiography, which served as a guide for its management.


A system has been developed that allows for real-time modeling of true 3-D shapes with live video mapping in an economical digital video effects (DVE) environment. By dividing a video image into a variable number of polygonal patches and manipulating each polygonal patch individually, almost any geometric shape can be modeled and video-mapped in real time. The technique is unlike any conventional video effects processor and is in certain ways more closely related to the computer graphics world of three-dimensional (3-D) modeling and animation, but without the time and cost constraints

[Abstract]: The urbanisation of a catchment can have a significant impact on flow, flood and erosion processes. By modelling these processes in a rural and then a hypothetical urbanised catchment quantitative comparisons can be made on how the urbanisation process has impacted on stream flows, flood behaviour and erosion.

Hydraulic and hydrologic modelling are techniques frequently undertaken for a range of purposes including estimation of flood extents, development of flood mitigation plans and in determining the effects of hydraulic structures. Hydraulic modelling typically
assume fixed cross-section geometries while in reality the processes of erosion and sediment transport results in changing channel geometries over time.

The results indicated that the urbanisation of a catchment has some dramatic effects on stream flow, flood and erosion processes. The RORB hydrologic model showed significant increases in peak flows and run-off volume and a reduction in lag time. The HEC-RAS hydraulic model showed significant increases in water surface elevations, shear stresses and flood extents. The channel enlargement modelling indicated a substantial increase in channel area was required to accommodate the increased urban flows.

The project has identified the importance of considering the impacts of development in long-term flood and hydraulic modelling as it cannot be assumed that channel geometries and peak flows are fixed particularly as development has been shown to accelerate fluvial erosion processes. The project has also indentified the need for further research to investigate the complex relationship between urbanization, flood behaviour and channel morphology.


Among the numerous classes of risks now undertaken by Insurance Companies, those against the contingency of leaving issue are beginning, from their increasing numbers, to assume a position of greater importance than heretofore. Nothing has hitherto, to my knowledge, been written upon the subject, and the premiums for insurances of this nature have been left to the judgment of the actuary as each individual case has come before him, there being no recognized and accurate formula for the calculation of the risk. Under these circumstances, and as a considerable amount of material exists from which approximate results may be deduced, I venture to submit to the Institute a few considerations upon the subject, but confined principally to the probabilities of marriage so far as they affect the calculation of such premiums.


Abstract : The course of the invasion by ice of mouse limbs exposed to various ambient temperatures was studied by distinguishing three stages: the initiation of freezing, the passage of ice through the skin, and the propagation of the ice within the limb. At an air temperature of -25C excised limbs froze within four minutes; at -20C they froze within seven minutes; at-15C the proportion of limbs remaining unfrozen after a 40-minute test period varied from 7 to 40%. The time required for the passage of the ice front through the skin (using a model system in which the skin separated ice crystals from a layer of physiological saline) was less than two seconds at -9C; it was eight seconds at -4C, 160 seconds at-1.8C; above -1.8C penetration could not be induced. (The resistance of the fur to wetting seems to be an important impediment to 'seeding' through the skin.) Within the foot (attached to the body in this section of the research), ice traveled from the toes to the heel at rates of the order of 2 cm per second at -8C, 1 cm at 6C, 5 mm at -4C and 1 mm at -2C. Thus, in nature limbs may remain supercooled for long times at quite low temperatures, but the actual passage of the ice through the skin or through the tissues is rather rapid. (Author)

Experiments were carried out in order to determine the properties of As/ sup/ 75m/ produced by irradiation of germanium by fast protons. Using Ge enriched to 7.67% Ge/sup 76/ it was confirmed that Ge/sup 76/ is responsible for the reaction producing the short-life isomer. A very intense short-life radiation with E/sub y/ = 0.29 sintering time 0.01 Mev and T/sub 1/2, = 16 sintering time 1 msec was found. The threshold of reaction was ~ 13 Mev. The data obtained are in good agreement with previously reported data on As/sup 75m/ (E/sub y/ = 0.305 Mev, T/sub 1/2/ = 17 msec) which was produced by the E2 transition from the 402-kev level. However, it is shown that As/sub 75m/ is also produced in As/sup 75/ proton reactions. The shortlived isomer (E/sub y/ = 0.19 sintering time 0.01 Mev and T/sub 1/2 = 19 sintering time 1 msec) produced by fast proton bombardment of gallium is also analyzed. the results show that Ga/sup 70m/ produced by the reaction Ga/sup 71/(p pn) Ga/sup 70m/ is responsible for the E/sub / = 0.l9 level.

Cells of tobacco pith parenchyma sometimes lose their requirement for an exogenous supply of a cell division factor usually supplied as the synthetic cytokinin, kinetin. This change in phenotype, known as cytokinin habituation, is inherited by individual cells and appears to result from epigenetic changes rather than from rare, random, genetic mutations. We have found that tissues from different regions of the tobacco plant exhibit different states of habituation in culture. Pith tissues, as reported earlier, are usually cytokinin requiring and rapidly shift to the habituated state in culture. Leaf tissues are very slightly habituated and require kinetin for optimal rates of growth. Tissues from the stem-cortex are initially habituated. Both the leaf and cortex phenotypes are inherited by individual cells and persist for many cell generations in culture. These results show that certain tissue-specific phenotypes persist in culture and provide evidence that a process akin to habituation leading to different stable states of cytokinin requirement occurs in normal development.


All dams have potential hazards. Those investigated, designed and constructed in recent years to a high standard should have fewer potential hazards than older ones, built to a lower standard. Dams sited or yet to be sited in less hazard-prone regions should be safer than those in regions where the hazard potential is greater. The principal hazards in New Zealand, which is over-generously endowed with natural hazards, are related to local geology, topography and hydrogeology, continuing active climatic, seismotectonic and volcanic phenomena, and various other engineering hazards that are in part consequential to these.
