The performance and functions provided within digital protection relays are progressing every year. This trend is clearly apparent within the field of distribution relays. As an example, in order to make global applications possible within the same model, relays are now designed to cover various ratings. However, we have to consider local de facto standards in order that the product be accepted in the wide variety of markets found in various countries. This paper describes a distribution relay that has been developed (type; GRE110M within GRE-series relays for medium-voltage protection) with some features of the development that are of particular interest, including a precision current measurement function and multi-lingual capability.


Having been working in the early childhood field for almost 15 years, I often forget that I am any different from my colleagues. I read books, change nappies, fold laundry, prepare snacks, settle disputes, and so on ...


The study revealed the effect of a clay with different content of iron oxides introduced into the cracking catalyst composition on the distribution of feedstock sulfur in the products and on the amount of sulfur oxides formed upon regeneration of the coked catalyst after cracking of the model sulfur-containing feedstock with a sulfur content of 10 000 ppm from 2-methylthiophene or benzothiophene. The use of a sulfur compound with a higher molecular weight increased the fraction of the feedstock sulfur passing into liquid products and coke. When iron oxidecontent in the catalyst was increased from 0.61 to 1.53 wt.% upon cracking of the model feedstock, the yield of liquid products increased, the conversion of model hydrocarbon decreased, and the yield of coke on the catalyst grew from 3.8 to 5.2 wt.%; in the process, the fraction of the feedstock sulfur that passed into SO2 increased fourfold.

【Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the priorities of health promotion for older adults in the rural community. The study attempts to display demographic characteristics subjective health status and chronic diseases status of the older adults. Methods: We surveyed 384 senior residents in a community via face-to-face interviews in their homes, who were selected by proportional random sampling. We analysed the frequency, multiple responses and $X^2$ by SPSS 12.0K. Results: The mean of subjective health status was $54.04{\pm}21.69$ with a maximum of 100. Our study found that the high priorities in health promotion for older adults were prevention and management of hypertension and diabetes, strengthening of joint and muscles, cancer screening and physical exercise. Prevention of depression and social activities were low priorities. Strengthening of joints and muscles was a high priority among women while smoking cessation and social activities were high priorities of men. Conclusion: In conclusion, health promotion priorities of older adults differed by gender and subjective health status. Disease-related priorities received more attention than psycho-social health priorities. This study suggests comparing the priorities regionally and nationally.】


 Topical use of plants or extracts as poultices and humidifiers of open wounds, as well as for systemic action, by ingestion.  The technique of suturing has a prehistoric origin, having occurred between the primitive peoples of South America, parts of Africa and India, using the claws of giant soldier ants. It is interesting to note that this was occurring on different continents long before international communication was even possible.


As radio astronomers survey our galaxy for the millimeter wavelengths characteristic of molecular rotations at low temperature, it is becoming clear that much of the interstellar gas in the galaxy is molecular rather than atomic. Furthermore, this molecular gas, mostly H2, appears to be concentrated in giant molecular clouds, tens of parsecs across. With masses typically several hundred thousand times that of the Sun, these giant clouds appear to be the most massive objects in the galaxy.


e18269 Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent a major health challenge worldwide including Nepal where patients (pts) often present with advanced disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the time delay in diagnosis and treatment by evaluating time from first symptoms to diagnosis and treatment and to identify contributing factors from both pts and the health system in Nepal. Methods: An IRB approved cross sectional study was performed in pts with GI cancers. 50 newly diagnosed pts were enrolled and interviewed with a standardized questionnaire during the last 6 months of 2018. Diagnosis delay was defined as time from first symptoms to histopathological diagnosis. Treatment delay was defined as time from diagnosis to surgery and/or treatment by medical/ radiation oncologist. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 52.5 years. 52% had gastroesophageal cancer and 48% had colorectal cancer. 84% presented with Stage III/ IV disease. The median diagnosis delay was 217 days and the median treatment delay was 37 days. The median patient delay (time from first symptoms to first medical consultation) was 150 days. 64% were illiterate, 94% had a history of self medication prior to first medical consultation, 68% were from rural areas with limited healthcare facilities and 72% were unaware of causes of GI cancers. Reasons for diagnostic delay appear to be self diagnosis, self medication and lack of a prompt referral system. Reasons for treatment delay included financial constraint, prolonged wait times for procedures and treatment due to limited skilled manpower. Conclusions: Our data shows there is a significant delay in diagnosis and treatment especially in the time from first symptoms to first medical consultation. We found many preventable reasons for this that, if addressed appropriately, could have a significant impact on reducing the morbidity and mortality of GI cancers. There is an urgent need for intensive and comprehensive cancer education in Nepal and other developing countries.


The MC3 is Eaton's and Sumitomo Eaton Nova's new medium-current 300 mm implanter designed to meet the demanding performance and Cost of Ownership (COO) requirements of 300 mm fabs. The MC3 design builds upon the production-proven performance of the Eaton 8250. In addition, complementary application space with Eaton's HE3 and ULE3 enables a minimum COO for all known implant conditions. The MC3 delivers beam currents from 2 to 3500 p/spl mu/A. The energy range is 3 to 750 keV. The modular design of the MC3 utilizes new design features to enhance serviceability and to reduce mean time to repair (MTTR). Extensive life cycle testing of modules in the development phase ensures a robust design. Furthermore, commonality on beamline design with the 8250 means excellent implanter process performance and beam purity, while control system commonality to other Eaton implanters greatly enhances ease of use.

The implementation of the system can bring more benefits for the treatment of hypertension in community residents.


Objective. To find out attitudes and barriers of exercise prescription among healthcare professionals in Kakamega county, Kenya Design. The study design was a descriptive crosssectional, that utilized quantitative methods Setting. The study was conducted in Public health facilities in Kakamega County, located in Western Kenya. These facilities were four (4) SubCounty hospitals, two (2) County hospitals and one (1) County referral hospital Sample Stratified random sampling was embraced to divide the population into homogeneous subgroups as per the professional cadres then simple random in proportion to their number in the population was done. Formulae that was used for calculating the sample size was Cochran with an attrition rate of 10%, since the sample size was less than 10,000 people, the sample size was adjusted with the Finite population correction for proportions based on the populations of nurses, doctors and clinical officers (n = 221) Analysis. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics. All assumption for conducting parametric tests were met before undertaking parametric tests. ANOVA was used to determine if healthcare providers differed with regards to attitude towards exercise prescription. Main outcome measures. Attitudes and barriers towards exercise prescription among healthcare professionals Results. 103 (46.6%) of the respondents strongly agreed that discussing the benefits of physical activity with their patients was part of the healthcare professional's role. 98 (44.3%) strongly agreed that healthcare professionals should be physically active to act as role models for their patients. 72(32.6%) strongly disagreed that exercise counselling would not change the patient's behavior. Majority of the healthcare professionals had positive attitude towards exercise prescription 135 (61%). The independent betweengroup ANOVA yielded a nonstatistically significantly effect, F (2, 218) = 1.941, p = .146, ƞp2= .02 leading to the conclusion that there exist no significant differences in attitude towards exercise prescription among the three cadres of Healthcare professionals. The major barrier to exercise prescription noted was lack of resources e.g. patients' educational materials (n=124,56.1%) Recommendation. It is recommended that future research investigate the opinions of HCPs pertaining to where the responsibility to prescribe exercise ultimately lies to explore possible additional barriers to exercise prescription not previously reported in literature.


Abstract This paper adopts an incomplete market pricing model–the indifference pricing approach–to analyze valuation of weather derivatives and the viability of the weather derivatives market in a hedging context. It incorporates price risk, weather/quantity risk, and other risks in the financial market. In a mean-variance framework, the relationship between the actuarial price and the indifference price of weather derivatives is analyzed, and conditions are obtained concerning when the actuarial price does not provide an appropriate valuation for weather derivatives. Conditions for the viability of the weather derivatives market are examined. This paper also analyzes the effects of partial hedging, natural hedges, basis risk, quantity risk, and price risk on investors' indifference prices by examining the distributional impacts of the stochastic variables involved.

In accelerated & controlled cooling (ACC) process, the relationship between plate point's temperature and the manipulated variable, plate velocity, is complicate and nonlinear with a time delay. A novel Model Predictive Control (MPC) is developed for precise control of the plate point's final temperature (FT) with fast computational speed. The control objective of time-temperature curve (plate temperature evolution) is converted into a space distribution of plate temperature along cooling line, which simplifies the ACC model to a linear model then does beneficial to employ MPC directly for optimizing the FT of plate points. The predictive horizon and control horizon of MPC is reduced to one or two sample time since the space distribution of plate temperature contains the future information of plate point's temperature, then dramatically reduce the computational burden. The simulation result shows the efficiency of the proposed method.


There is a pressing need to re-design the defined contribution pension scheme so that it can become an adequate replacement for the failing defined benefit scheme. This paper focuses on the importance of accounting for systematic longevity risk in light of this assertion. We discuss a proposed, plan member oriented, pension plan design that aims to deliver a desired standard of living in retirement through the use of the replacement ratio in the objective function of the optimal portfolio choice problem. We introduce an analytically tractable stochastic mortality model in order to facilitate working within a continuous-time dynamic programming framework. In order to gauge the impact of longevity risk we introduce, into the asset mix of the portfolio choice problem, a synthetic longevity-linked security. We determine the relative demand for this asset, and the value added through the introduction of this asset in terms of a utility gain. We find that for sufficiently risk averse plan members the value added by way of a reduction in conditional volatility is substantial, however these effects can be drowned out if the proportion of pension fund wealth allocated to risky assets is large.

Acute appendicitis is the commonest causes of emergency surgery, having worldwide prevalence and affects all age groups. The etiology of acute appendicitis is multi-factorial and the pathology is most likely the obstruction of the lumen of the appendix. Acute appendicitis due to helminthes and protozoan infection is quite rare. Other unusual findings in appendectomy specimens are benign or malignant tumors. The presence of parasitic helminth Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) in the appendix sometimes produces symptoms of acute appendicitis without any histological evidence, even though a patient might not have appendicitis. The causal relationship of appendicitis and pin worms' remains controversial. We present here a case of an 11-year old boy with enterobiasis of appendix presented with clinical features of acute appendicitis. E. vermicularis was discovered inadvertently after laproscopic appendectomy in a highly inflamed appendix. Prior to surgery, no parasites were revealed histopathologically. The relevant literature is also reviewed as accessed via PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Pinworm infestation can have various clinical presentations, including non-specific symptoms of decreased appetite, peri-anal pruritis, and loss of sleep. In acute condition, it can produce symptoms of 'appendiceal colic', or acute appendicitis in a non-inflamed appendix; or induce chronic inflammatory eosinophilic infiltrate or no tissue reaction in a histological appendicitis. In conclusion, the most common surgical condition in children is acute appendicitis. Parasitic infestations are a concern on a worldwide basis. The role of parasitic infestation in relation to appendicitis is controversial. Intestinal parasites may cause noteworthy morbidity and mortality.


In recent decades, with social and economic development, many new buildings and buildings have been built, while many old buildings have been demolished. Therefore, the world should consider how to reuse construction waste. Reuse of construction waste as aggregate to new buildings or road construction is an effective way. The effect of median aggregate regeneration aggregate on the performance of pavement base material was studied in this paper. Recycled concrete aggregate was used to replace 25 %, 50 % and 75 % of natural aggregate by volume, respectively. While the recycled clay brick was used to replace 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 30 % of natural aggregate by volume. In addition, recycled aggregate composed of recycled concrete and recycled clay bricks in different proportions was used to replace aggregate of road base materials. The maximum dry density, optimum moisture content, unconfined compressive strength and drying shrinkage of road base materials were studied. The results show that the optimum moisture content increases with the increase of recycled aggregate replacement, and the biggest dry density decreases with the increase of recycled aggregate replacement. Recycled aggregate can improve the 7 d unconfined compressive strength of pavement base material and reduce the dry shrinkage rate in a certain range of replacement rate. When the aggregate was 100 % recycled aggregate, with the increase of recycled clay brick content, the 7d unconfined compressive strength of the material decreases and the drying shrinkage would increase.


A quarter of a million Romanians receive the guaranteed minimum income, that is to say, the state's social support to those who do not have enough income to live in. More specifically, according to May (latest available) data from the Ministry of Labor, 248,987 Romanian citizens received social assistance. Compared to the total number of inhabitants in the records of the Ministry of Labor, it results that 1.17% of the entire population receives this guaranteed minimum income. In May, for which we have the most recent official data available, the average guaranteed minimum income paid to beneficiaries was 281 lei. The government paid 70 million lei for this aid in that month.


The Hambly plane grillage method has been regarded as one of the classic numerical methods in the design field for modeling wide box-girder bridge structures. However, when it comes to the in-depth design applications, its strict division rules and insufficient mechanical explanations often make engineers inconvenient or puzzled at bridge modeling. This article investigates whether this method may be extended to become more adaptable for the design of current concrete box-girder bridge structures in consideration of both convenience and precision. To this end, the defects of Hambly plane grillage method are recognized, and new extended grillage methods, including the single-layer folding surface grillage and spatial grillage, are proposed respectively, to deal with different bridge design objects completely in a beam-oriented environment. The former allows freer cross-sectional division by breaking the basic rule of Hambly plane grillage method to include longitudinal separate-type beam components for a better exhibition of shear lag effects. The latter emphasizes a complete consideration of spatial behavior, including the easily missed in-plane effects of the top and bottom plates. The effectiveness of the methods are demonstrated by comparison case studies in some benchmark models and by a discussion of their applications.

Paphiopedilum tigrinum is an endangered orchid with high ornamental value. However, seed germination and seedling regeneration in P. tigrinum is very difficult in vitro. Little is known about why P. tigrinum seedlings are difficult to propagate or how to improve the seed germination and seedling rates of this species. In this study, we investigated the developmental process of P. tigrinum from asymbiotic seed germination to seedling rooting by comparing it with P. appletoniantum, a much easier species for germination and seedling formation. We found that asymbiotic seed germination in P. tigrinum is limited by severe browning of the protocorm at the seed germination stage, and protocorm rooting at the differentiation stage was also proved to be difficult. The optimal medium for seed germination of P. tigrinum was a modified Harvais (mHa) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg·L−1 kinetin (Kin), 0.1 g·L−1 activated charcoal (AC) and 100 mL·L−1 coconut water (CW). At the protocorm differentiation stage, seedlings with 1–2 leaves were obtained on a 1/4 MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg·L−1 6-benzylaminopurin (BA), 0.3 g·L−1 AC and 50–100 mL·L−1 CW after culturing for 120 day. At the seedling subculture stage, a 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 0.5–1.5 g·L−1 AC and 100 mL·L−1 CW was better for leaf and root growth of P. tigrinum. At the rooting stage, a 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 1.0 g·L−1 AC, 0.5 g·L−1 dolomite flour, 15 g·L−1 potato homogenate and 30 g·L−1 banana homogenate was most suitable for the growth and rooting of seedlings. This study has established an effective protocol for seed germination and seedling regeneration of P. tigrinum.


The history of red clay‐loess accumulation in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is the key to understanding the aridification history of the Asian interior and the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. Here we present high‐resolution magnetostratigraphy and grain‐size records of a 265.7‐m‐long drill core of the red clay‐loess sequence at Gaolanshan in the Lanzhou Basin from the western CLP. Our results, combined with the loess‐paleosol stratigraphy and regional stratigraphic correlation, indicate that the most complete and continuous red clay‐loess sequence since ~3 Ma was first found in the western CLP, which is ~0.8 Myr older than the previously investigated Quaternary loess in the Lanzhou region, and the age of the oldest Lanzhou loess‐paleosol sequence is ~2.8 Ma. Consequently, the major enhancement of the aridification at 2.8 Ma in the Asian interior was primarily controlled by the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and global cooling.


The biological and ecological characteristics of Carex pseudocuraica ramets in Sanjiang plain were studied with the methods of artificial simulation in natural wetland.The result showed that the sedges reproduced both in rhizomes and in reeds in natural habitats.The stems aboveground,which consist of nodes and internodes,performed erect,semi-erect,or creeping growth forms responding to water depth.The plant height increased with the increase of water depth from July and became significant after August.The plant height(160 cm) and the amplitude of Deep water(50 cm) scenario were higher than Shallow Water(30 cm) scenario,while that of Draught(20% water content) scenario did not increase and some of the sedges died.The stem diameter increased with the increase of water depth,which mainly took place before July.Generally,it varied in the 1~2 nodes near the stem base,kept uniform in the central section,and became thin in the 1~2 nodes near the growing point.


Spinal cord atrophy is a common and clinically relevant feature of multiple sclerosis (MS), and can be used to monitor disease progression and as an outcome measure in clinical trials. Spinal cord atrophy is conventionally estimated with segmentation-based methods (e.g., cross-sectional spinal cord area (CSA)), where spinal cord change is calculated indirectly by numerical difference between timepoints. In this thesis, I validated the generalised boundary shift integral (GBSI), as the first registration-based method for longitudinal spinal cord atrophy measurement. The GBSI registers the baseline and follow-up spinal cord scans in a common half-way space, to directly determine atrophy on the cord edges. First, on a test dataset (9 MS patients and 9 controls), I have found that GBSI presented with lower random measurement error, than CSA, reflected by lower standard deviation, coefficient of variation and median absolute deviation. Then, on multi-centre, multi-manufacturer, and multi–field‐strength scans (282 MS patients and 82 controls), I confirmed that GBSI provided lower measurement variability in all MS subtypes and controls, than CSA, resulting into better separation between MS patients and controls, improved statistical power, and reduced sample size estimates. Finally, on a phase 2 clinical trial (220 primary-progressive MS patients), I demonstrated that spinal cord atrophy measurements on GBSI could be obtained from brain scans, considering their quality and association with corresponding spinal cord MRI-derived measurements. Not least, 1-year spinal cord atrophy measurements on GBSI, but not CSA, were associated with upper and lower limb motor function. In conclusion, spinal cord atrophy on the GBSI had higher measurement precision and stronger clinical correlates, than the segmentation method, and could be derived from high-quality brain acquisitions. Longitudinal spinal cord atrophy on GBSI could become a gold standard for clinical trials including spinal cord atrophy as an outcome measure, but should remain a secondary outcome measure, until further advancements increase the ease of acquisition and processing.


INTRODUCTION Serological ELISA test on individual milk has given promising results in paratuberculosis diagnosis, showing a sensitivity only slightly lower than the same test on blood samples (K=0.81-0.91) (Arrigoni et al., 2004; van Weering et al., 2007). The reported specificity of Pourquier ELISA test on milk varies between 99.8-100% on individual milk and 100% on bulk milk (van Weering et al., 2007; Arrigoni et al., 2004). The objective of this study was to investigate the relative sensitivity of a commercial ELISA test in detecting antibodies against Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in bulk milk of infected herds, compared with the results of ELISA individual test on blood.

Considering construction of the discipline with an increasing number of publications, conferences and research groups, cultural philosophy could be regarded as one of the important areas of philosophical investigation in China. Nevertheless, with reference to Leo Strauss and Carl Schmitt's argumentation on the concept of politics, we can find our deficiencies in the premise, sense of questioning and theoretical resources of cultural philosophy research by comparison. The possible area of cultural philosophy studies could be reclaimed by an orientation both in length and breadth towards the re-examination of western and Chinese philosophical traditions.

In this work we investigate the exciton recombination dynamics in InAs/ InP semiconductor self-assembled quantum wires, by means of continuous wave and time resolved photoluminescence. The continuous wave photoluminescence results seem to indicate that the temperature quenching of the emission band seems to be more probably due to unipolar thermal escape of electrons towards the InP barrier. On the other hand, the analysis of time resolved photoluminescence reveals that the temperature dependence of the radiative and nonradiative recombination times is mainly determined by the dynamics of excitons localized by disorder shigh energy tail of the PL bandd and strongly localized slow energy tail of the PL bandd in local size fluctuations of the quantum wires.


In order to enhance the polarity of betulin,3,28-Di-O-acylated betulin derivatives were synthesized from betulin and an appropriate anhydride. The structures of the products were identified by FT-IR,1H NMR and MS spectra. The solubility data of betulin and its derivatives in acetone,anhydrous ethanol,water and PBS(pH=7.4) were determined by equilibrium method. The results showed that in acetone and anhydrous ethanol,the solubility of 3,28-Di-O-succinyl-betulin was 10.6 and 12.0 times of that of betulin; and the solubility of 3,28-Di-O-glutaryl-betulin was 33.5 and 22.6 times of that of betulin. In water,the solubility of 3,28-Di-O-glutaryl-betulin was 7 times of that of 3,28-Di-O-succinyl-betulin; and in PBS(pH=7.4),the solubility of 3,28-Di-O-glutaryl-betulin was 4 times of that of 3,28-Di-O-succinyl-betulin. Their hydrophilicity had a significant increase. Antitumor activity of the target compounds in vitro against SMMC7721,TCA8113,MCF-7,SGC and B16 cell lines was evaluated by MTT assay via the respective IC 50 values. The bioactive assay shows that 3,28-Di-O-acylated betulin derivatives display potential cytotoxicity against the tested cancer cell lines.

Introduction The value of measuring such nuclear magnetic resonance parameters as longitudinal and transverse relaxation times, and nuclear Overhauser effect enhancement factors has already been demonstrated [1]. While most modern Fourier Transform (FT) NMR spectrometers are fitted with the appropriate pulse sequence capabilities, they generally only provide a linear semi-10garithmic least-squares fit routine, which is insufficient for obtaining reliable relaxation time values [2-7]. Therefore, routines for a Jeol PFT 100 NMR spectrometer have been developed in this laboratory in order to compute on-line relaxation times using a two and threeparameter non-linear least-squares fit for most T1 (IRFT, FIRFT, SRFT, Freeman-Hill modified IRFT) [8] and T2 (CPMG) [9] measurement pulse sequences. A further routine increasing the reliability of NOE enhancement factor measurement 10, 11 from line areas in connection with phase correction has also been added. The basic principles involved and the algorithms of these routines are described here.


In general,we calculate the explosive amount according to the Kurl formula in the underwater demolition,but in the exploding course,the water surface and the interface of water bottom will highly affect the exploding effect, strengthening or weakening it. So we bring forward the coefficient K for modifying the explosive amount when the exploding effect is affected by the interface, in order that we can make certain the actual amount conveniently in the underwater demolition.


The objective of this article is to induce that the conception of 'Qi-jul(氣質) and Qi-pum(氣稟)' was introduced to the Sasang(四象) Constitutional Medicine from bibliographic study on the theory of 'Qi-pum(氣稟)'. The conclusions summerized as followings. 1. In the oriental medicine, qualitative difference of 'zheng-qi(正氣)' among the individuals, the opposing power against a disease, is regarded as constitution. Having been used as 'nature(素)', 'quality(質)' and 'character(氣質)' in the oriental medical book, the word of 'Che-Jil(體質)' was used in good earnest at the end of 'Qing(情)' dynasty. 2. The nature(性) is divided into two, original nature(本然之性) and charicteristic nature(氣質之性) in the 'New confucianism(新儒學)' and the former means a principle(理), is a pure and good thing and used as a conception of universality, the latter is a principle of character and a imperfect imitation of principle(理). 3. It was repeatedly confirmed that 'Qi-jil and Qi-pum' meant the difference among the individuals by the dispute of 'Li-Qi(理氣)' caused by Lee Hwang(李滉) and Lee Yi(李耳) and by that of 'Ho-Rak(湖洛)' in the Ch'o-son(朝鮮) dynasty. 4. Han Sok-Ji, based on Meng-Zi(孟子)'s doctrine that man's inborn nature is good, criticized the theory of 'Qi-pum' which was 'Zhu-Zi(朱子)'s opinion and his opinion about the life(命) was thought to clue to the classification of the 'Sasang(四象)' invented by Lee Je-Ma as Park Se-Dang's theory that everyone has common nature but has different life(命). 5. By introducing the theory of 'Qi-pum' and the conception of life(命) which was understood as a special character by Han Sok-Ji and Park Se-Dang to Sa-sang constitutional medicine, Lee Je-Ma explained the reason why each man who was classified four constitutions, 'Taiyang'(太陽), 'Taiyin'(太陰), 'Shaoyang'(少陽), 'Shaoyin'(少陰), had the different formation of the visceral department(臟局).

n this paper we discuss, some general aspects of the use of fluorescence spectroscopy in the characterization of polymers and processes involving polymers. In particular we focus on the use of probes to detect formation of hydrophobic domains or to detect environmental changes because of solvation or pH changes, fluorescence quenching to determine the accessibility of the probe to solution phase small molecules, the use of fluorescence depolarization to characterize segmental motions and the use of energy transfer to characterize morphologies on the length scale of 1-5 nm. We also will compare direct energy transfer (DET) with down-chain electronic energy transfer (EET).


The long‐term control of malignant effusion is necessary to achieve long‐term survival in lung cancer patients with carcinomatous pleuritis. This report describes our results of limited operations including parietal pleurectomy (pl) on a hypothesis that the most effective target area for controlling malignant pleural effusion is the parietal pleura.


The impulsive buying occurs when an individual makes an unintended, unreflective, and immediate purchase. Impulsive purchase behavior is driven by hedonistic or pleasure seeking goals causing a consumer to experience desires for products. Scientific research presents no unified attitude to factors affecting impulsive purchase behavior Expanding the literatures of impulsive buying this study aims at incorporating the purchase decision involvement and attitude towards PLBs in organized retail stores. Additionally, this study comes across at the relation between involvement and impulsive buying behavior. Confirmatory factor analysis confirms various constructs comprising impulsive buying, attitude towards private label brands, and purchase decision involvement. Multiple regression analysis confirms the predictive validity of impulsive buying and two explanatory variables are found to explain a significant proportion of variation in the dependent variable.


The president of the College was recently reported (BMA News, 28 September 2002) to have expressed the opinion that there is an element of institutional racism in (presumably British) psychiatry. He gave as evidence of this: 'You are six times as likely to be sectioned [sic] under the 1983 Mental Health Act if you are black, young and male.' No doubt some psychiatrists hold racist attitudes, as do many other people. However, the president's suggestion that psychiatrists in this country allow any racial views they may privately hold to influence their professsional practice is unjustified and offensive. His view that the fact, if it be one, that young black males are admitted to hospital under the provisions of the Mental Health Act 1983 more frequently than are others, is evidence of improper practice, based on racial attitudes, is self-evidently absurd. That the president of a medical royal college should hold such an opinion must be a matter for concern. I would suggest that a retraction of the reported remarks, accompanied by an apology on the part of the president to the College membership, would be appropriate. First things first, I did indeed talk about the possibility of institutional racism in both the practice of psychiatry and the structures of our psychiatric profession (the two may not be unconnected). I did so as part of a speech to the inaugural meeting of the British Association of Pakistani Psychiatrists in Birmingham about the challenges facing the College in the next few years. Institutional racism was defined in the MacPherson Report as 'The collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture or ethnic origin. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviours which amount to discrimination, through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantages minority ethnic people'. The key words here, I think, are 'collec-tive', 'service' and 'unthinking'. By this definition , I believe that the implementation of any legislation that results in young black males who live in inner city areas being six times more likely to be caught by it, must contain an element of institutional racism ^ and one can see why. Young black males tell us that they are wary of psychiatric services that do not seem sympathetic to them; they feel, with some justification, that they are more likely to be perceived …

In 1.11, 105a3 ff., Aristotle contrasts two types of questions, those which may be dealt with by Xoyo; or reasoned dialectical argument and others which can and should simply be settled by perception, such as whether snow is white or not. Aristotle claims that Plato was the first to posit numbers and forms as separate from perceptible things. This, Aristotle says, resulted from Plato's mode of inquiry. Plato was the first to use this mode of inquiry, says Aristotle, since earlier thinkers were innocent of dialectic later passages. In the methodology of the De caelo , Aristotle complains about the Platonists' doctrine concerning the transformation of the elements on two counts. This chapter explores how are we to understand the nature of Aristotle's contrast between these two different sources of evidence - (1) the perceptually apparent and (2) the reasonable?. Keywords: Aristotle; De caelo ; inquiry; Plato; Platonists' doctrine


Abstract A greenhouse experiment was conducted to examine the salt-induced changes in some key physio-biochemical attributes in eggplant (cv. New Noble) plants. Eggplant plants were grown under varying levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) of sodium chloride under greenhouse conditions supplied with natural light and other climatic conditions. Varying saline regimes in growth medium significantly reduced the shoot and root fresh and dry weights, shoot and root lengths, relative water content, chlorophyll a and b pigments, photosynthetic rate (A), water-use efficiency, stomatal conductance (g s ), leaf and root K+, total phenolics, total soluble proteins, activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and leaf water and osmotic potentials in all eggplant plants. However, in contrast, saline regimes of the root growing medium did not affect transpiration rate (E), internal CO2 concentration (C i ), C i /C a ratio, photochemical quenching (qP), non-photochemical quenching, efficiency of photosystem-II (F v /F m ), leaf and root Ca2+ as well as ascorbic acid (AsA) contents in eggplant. A significant increase was observed in leaf turgor potential, free proline and glycinebetaine contents, leaf and root Na+ contents, malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contents and activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) in eggplant plants under varying saline regimes. Overall, salt-induced growth reduction in eggplant plants was found to be associated with high accumulation of Na+ in both roots and shoots, which adversely affected photosynthetic capacity, chlorophyll pigments, K+ and Ca2+ contents, H2O2 and AsA levels and activities of SOD, POD, and CAT.


Poverty studies typically focus on people who live below the poverty line. Few studies have examined how people are able to not only move out of but also stay out of poverty. The fifteen, country study, moving out of poverty: success from the bottom up, by Deepa Narayan, Lant Pritchett, and Soumya Kapoor, is one of the few large-scale comparative research attempts to analyze mobility out of poverty rather than poverty alone. The study focused largely on rural communities over a 10-year period between 1995 and 2005, when developing countries exhibited overall relatively strong growth.


Objective: To compare the detectability of the different auditory evoked responses in patients with retrocochlear lesion. Methods: The 40-Hz auditory steady state response (ASSR) and the N1m auditory cortical response were examined by magnetoencephalography in 4 patients with vestibular schwannoma, in whom the auditory brainstem response (ABR) was absent. Results: Apparent N1m responses were observed despite total absence of the ABR or absence except for small wave I in all patients, although the latency of N1m was delayed in most patients. On the other hand, clear ASSFs could be observed only in one patient. Very small 40-Hz ASSFs could be detected in 2 patients (amplitude less than 1 fT), but no apparent ASSFs were observed in one patient, in whom maximum speech intelligibility was extremely low and the latency of N1m was most prolonged. Conclusion: The N1m response and 40-Hz ASSR could be detected in patients with absent ABR, but the N1m response appeared to be more detectable than the 40-Hz ASSR. Significance: Combined assessment with several different evoked responses may be useful to evaluate the disease conditions of patients with retrocochlear lesions.


As the security environment of many states changes, some may be persuaded to explore defense strategies embodying methods of nonviolent civilian resistance. An important question for civilian-based defense strategies involves their deterrence potential. By integrating deterrence theories with research on popular mobilization and social movements, this article explores the requirements for evaluating the deterrence potential of civilian-based defense. It concludes that civilian defense can be evaluated as if deterrence mattered, although much work remains to be done to articulate measurable indicators of the social powers that would be engaged.


In the current environment of energy storage development, economic analysis has guiding significance for the construction of user-side energy storage. This paper considers time-of-use electricity prices, establishes a benefit model from three aspects of peak and valley arbitrage, reduction of power outage losses, and government subsidies, and establishes a cost model from initial construction, operation and maintenance, and recovery and replacement. Two typical energy storage batteries are evaluated through actual calculation examples. Finally, select the peak-to-valley price difference and the battery discharge depth as the influencing factors of the static investment payback period for sensitivity analysis. The result shows that under certain conditions, user-side energy storage can achieve the expected benefits.


Psychological research shows that children start thinking about death, as well as developing their concepts related to it, quite early. On the other hand, there are findings indicating the ambivalent attitudes of teachers and parents when it comes to initiating conversation about death with the youngest. In this paper, we investigated the opinions of the preschool teachers about the thematization of death in preschool education and, more specifically, about the presence of literary texts with the motif of death in their work with children. A questionnaire was designed to collect the opinions of 60 preschool teachers, and the starting hypothesis was that the theme/motif of death is not present in the work with preschool children. The specific hypotheses were as follows: 1) we assume that preschool teachers do not talk with children about death, and 2) we assume that preschool teachers do not often use literary works exploring the motif of death. The assumption that preschool teachers do not talk about death with children proved to be wrong. Three-fourths of preschool teachers talked with children about death, despite the complexity of this phenomenon and the emotions it may arouse. Death is present in the preschool groups in the form of children's experience with it: only nine preschool teachers did not have a case where a member of a child's close or extended family, or a pet, had died. More than a half of the preschool teachers who had in their groups children who had experienced the death of a close person claim that the children have shown interest in talking about death. Preschool teachers approach this topic in different ways: they talk about the death of a character in


A Discontinuous Galerkin method used to solve the bidimensional harmonic Linearized Euler Equations is presented and tested, with the intention of building a new impedance eduction procedure in the presence of grazing ow based on Laser Doppler Anemometry measurements. Two di erent con gurations are considered for the numerical solver validation. The rst one is extracted from literature and involves Sound Pressure Level comparisons on the rigid wall opposite to the liner. The second benchmark concerns Laser Doppler Anemometry test results. Bidimensional velocity elds and projected velocity levels are studied. Despite small discrepancies, both cases generally reveal good agreement between numerical simulation and experiments. However important deviations arise at resonance frequencies, and no satisfactory explanation can be suggested at the moment. Finally, a quick re ection is initiated concerning the de nition of an adequate objective function for the inverse eduction problem.


Background: To improve the prognosis for women diagnosed with breast cancer, a national screening program started in 1989. However, the effectiveness of screening is unclear. This is especially the case for the elderly women that are invited to participate in screening.
Objective: To determine whether participation and regularity of participation in the screening program influences the tumour characteristics in women aged between 70 and 75 years and women aged 75 years and older, diagnosed with breast cancer between 1999 and 2012 in the northern region of the Netherlands.
Method: Data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry and Bevolkingsonderzoek Noord were matched. Using Pearson's Chi-square tests, tumour characteristics were compared between women who have participated in the screening program and who have never participated, and between women who have participated on a regular and irregular basis. For both analyses a distinction was made between women aged between 70 and 75 years and women aged older than 75 years.
Conclusion: Participation in breast cancer screening by elderly women appears to influence tumour characteristics in a positive way compared to no participation. However, it does not seem to have any influence whether these women participate regularly or irregularly.


Computer simulation study of brain neuronal networks is an active academic field. Deep Belief Network (DBN) introduces an effective way of training deep neural networks and the Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) puts forward a two-layer competitive network emulating human cognitive processes. In our study, we implement a DBN with the mechanism of ART which benefits from DBN's multi-layer structure and ART's self-organizing stable learning mechanism. Our preliminary results show that the optimal number of layers is relevant to the data learned. The correct reconstruction rate decreases slowly with respect to the volume of data stored.


Purpose: The main aim of the study is to present and evaluate the essence, the principles of determining (measuring), and the means of presenting the result of Polish State Forests (LP) in financial reporting, as well as the presentation of the initial distribution of profit.Methodology/approach: The considerations in the study are contrasted with selected authors from the source literature. The methods of critical analysis and synthesis, inference, and a case study were used. The data for the analyses were collected from the financial and economic reports of LP for 2011–2021 and from the accounts obtained by filing a motion in LP to reuse public sector information.Findings: LP's revenue has been decreasing since 2018. Approximately 55–56% of LP's overall spending is related to the costs of the core activity, which is related to the sale of lumber. Since 2018, the share of this spending has diminished. The costs of general management primarily associated with maintaining the Forest Service amount to around 41–42% LP's total spendings. These costs are structured at diverse levels within the study period. The increase in the percentage contribution of the abovementioned spendings in LP's total costs has been noted since 2018. From 2011 to 2021, LP made a profit from business activities and it is used to support LP's assets, provide extra rewards for employees, contribute to the company's social benefits fund, and for socially useful purposes.Research limitations: There is a lack of comprehensive data on the general distribution of profits from LP and individual forest districts. Additionally, there was a lack of access to data from the respective forest districts. LP did not provide detailed information.Originality/value: The paper fills the gap on information about acquired revenue and incurred costs of managing a sustainable forest economy, including an attempt to delineate a description of the distribution of LP's profit. The profit-sharing matrix and index are versatile tools that can be used for profit-sharing planning in LP.


We have constructed the basic dielectric relaxations evolution expression for relaxing current as convolution operation of the chosen memory kernel and rate of change of applied voltage. We have studied types of memory kernels singular, non-singular and combination of singular and non-singular (mixed) decaying functions. With these, we form constitutive equations for relaxation dynamics of dielectrics; i.e. capacitor. We observe that though mathematically we can use non-singular kernels yet this does not give presently much useful practical or physically realizable results and interpretations. We relate our observations to relaxation currents given via Curie-von Schweidler and Kohlraush laws. The Curie-von Schweidler law gives singular function power law as basic relaxation current in dielectric relaxation; whereas the Kohlraush law is Electric field relaxation in dielectric as non-Debye function taken as stretched exponential i.e. non-singular function. These two laws are used since late nineteenth century for various dielectric relaxation and characterization studies. Here we arrive at general constitutive equation for capacitor and with each type of memory kernel we give corresponding impedance function and in some cases equivalent circuit representation for the capacitor element. We classify these systems as Curie-von Shweidler type for system with singular memory kernel function and Kohlraush type for system evolved via using non-singular function or mixed functions as memory kernel. We note that use of singular memory kernel gives constituent relations and impedance functions that are experimentally verified in large number of cases of dielectric studies. Therefore, we have a question, does natural relaxation dynamics for dielectrics have a singular memory kernel, and the relaxation current function is singular in nature? Is it the singular relaxation function for capacitor dynamics with singular memory kernel remains universal law for dielectric relaxation? However, we are not questioning researchers modeling relaxation of dielectric via non-singular functions, yet we are hinting about complexity and lack of interpretability of basic constituent equation of dielectric relaxation dynamics thus obtained via considering non-singular and mixed memory kernels; perhaps due to insufficient experimental evidences presently. However, the method employed in this study is general method. This method can be used to form memorized constituent equations for other systems (say Radioactive Decay/Growth, Diffusion and Wave phenomena) from basic evolution equation, i.e. effect function as convolution of memory kernel with cause function.


Purpose: Erysipelas is a bacterial infection of the dermis and hypodermis, mostly of streptococcal origin, and erysipelas of upper extremity following breast cancer treatment has never been reported in the Korean literature.Methods: 39-year-old female presented to our hospital complaining of fever and painful swelling of her left upper extremity. She had a history of breast cancer and was treated with breast conserving surgery with axillary lymph node dissection, chemotherapy, and radiation. On physical examination, her left upper extremity showed vesicle, bullae, local heatness and erythema with well-defined margin. With these distinctive features of a skin lesion, we gave a diagnosis of erysipelas and started treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Results: Resolution of the signs and symptoms of erysipelas occurred after 7 days of treatment.Conclusion: The diagnosis of erysipelas with distinctive feature of skin lesion is essential and we emphasize that the prevention of any trauma are very important in these patients for prophylactic measures.

The bispectrum is the Fourier transform of the triple correlation, sometimes also referred to as triple product integral. We are concerned here with the bispectrum of the autotriple correlation. Bispectrum analysis can be used to solve phase problems in signal processing, since the knowledge of the bispectrum of a signal usually allows one to reconstruct both amplitude and phase of the Fourier transform signal. We present mathematical proof based on the theory of analytic functions and discuss the restrictions involved. A recursive algorithm is outlined for the reconstruction from sampled data. In addition, possibilities for noise reduction by averaging redundant information will be described. Examples are included for 1-D signals.


This is the first of a pair of papers devoted to the local invariants of Goursat distributions. The study of these distributions naturally leads to a tower of spaces over an arbitrary surface, called the monster tower, and thence to connections with the topic of singularities of curves on surfaces. Here we study those invariants of Goursat distributions akin to those of curves on surfaces, which we call structural invariants. In the subsequent paper we will relate these structural invariants to the small-growth invariants.

In this paper the design of two-dimension solid-ramjet inlet operating over a wide range of flight Mach number is investigated.A step-by-step optimum design method from one-dimension to three-dimension is established.In the method an one-dimension computer model is established with several proper assumptions,and an one-dimension optimum result is obtained by adopting genetic algorithms and selecting total pressure recovery coefficient as performance objective function.Then,during the two-dimension and three-dimension designs,the key influencing factors are selected and analysised carefully,so as to improve the one-dimension optimum result.So a complete and efficient two-dimension ramjet inlet optimum design method is illustrated.The design process not only verifies the rationality of the one-dimension computer model and the selection of key influencing factors,but also gives many variation laws with these key influencing factors.


Once a student of German assimilates a certain body of vocabulary and masters the phonology, morphology, basic word order, and other syntactical rules, there still remains a major and taxing problem-the systematic study of idiomatic expressions. This problem stems, in some cases, from interference of the mother tongue. "Wir machen eine Reise," for example, is so close in structure to "we take a trip," that the difference in vocabulary must be consciously noted and remembered. In other cases, learning problems derive from the way our textbooks render German idioms into colloquial English by putting them in a general listing or by placing them in a related word list without further explanation.' Within the category of idiomatic expressions a special group exists which we may call irreversible pairs: words linked either by a coordinating conjunction or a preposition. Although in many instances the two terms of the pairs can be used separately2 or in reverse order, they invariably become bound to a prescribed sequence once they form part of a formula. We can say "er hat seinen Hof verkauft, das Haus jedoch nicht" (he sold his barnyard, but not his house) or "er hat sein Haus verkauft, jedoch nicht seinen Hof" (he sold his house, but not his barnyard). Yet we must say "er hat Haus und Hof verkauft" (he sold everything he owns) and not "er hat Hof und Haus verkauft." In fact, if we use the two terms in reverse order, their meaning becomes literal and thus specific: he sold his barnyard as well as his house. "Er hat von Tuten und Blasen keine Ahnung" means that he does not know the first thing about anything, while "er hat von Blasen und Tuten keine Ahnung" implies that he has no idea of how to handle wind instruments. "Er sprach von Gott und der Welt" is translated "he spoke about everything under the sun;" but "er sprach von der Welt und Gott" is "he spoke about the world and God." Also in English we are aware of similar expressions, as for example "touch and go, give and take, cut and dried, without rhyme nor reason." I have selected at random 150 samples and analyzed their semantic character as well as their structural make-up in order to facilitate our understanding and subsequent study.


Refractories based on fused mullite are promising materials for industrial application~ Mullite blocks (weighing 3.0-3.5 ton) obtained by cooling the melt in ingot molds consist of 91-96%* mullite and 4-9% glass phase. Mullite is present in the form of long prismatic crystals (measuring up to 10~mm in length and from 0.3 up to 1.15 mm in thickness) surrounded by thin layers of glass phase. Mullite crystals are dispositioned perpendicular to the cooling surface. Free corundum is absent in the material when accurate dosing of alumina and quartz sand is made and optimal melting regimes are followed [1-3].


Considering the risks in the process of the building up Industrial Internet led by large enterprises, this paper constructs a risk analysis model based on the Interpretative Structural Modeling(ISM). ISM helps for analyzing the risk factors in the process of enterprise dominant industrial Internet build-up through a systematic approach, including identifying the initial risk factors set through literature review method, screening the final risk factors set by Delphi method and analyzing the risk factors by ISM. Finally, an ISM-based Model for the risk factors of the enterprise dominant Industrial Internet is established and analyzed. This study is expected to provide some implication for large enterprises to avoid risks effectively in the process of industrial Internet build-up.


We thank Conway et al. (1) for the discussion of their findings regarding skin intrinsic fluorescence in the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study cohort. Their results—that skin intrinsic fluorescence values are higher in individuals with no diabetic retinopathy (DR) as compared with more advanced DR—are consistent with our findings in the Medalist cohort in which …


Tackling the incidence of gas flaring in Nigeria must involve building and upgrading necessary infrastructure for gas transportation. Consequently, authorities are seeking to increase by 125% the gas throughput in the Oben-Ajaokuta gas pipeline in South West Nigeria. Also, new pipelines have been proposed to be built, one of which is the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna pipeline system. However, it is vital that energy is not unwittingly wasted even as it is conserved by reduction of the amount of flared gas. Therefore any new gas pipelines or upgrade on existing ones should seek to minimize energy consumption whilst maximizing gas delivery. To that end, this paper determines the optimal location and power requirement of compressor stations along the aforementioned gas pipelines in Nigeria. The commercially available pipeline simulator, PIPESIM, was used in the study. It was found that for the 198 km Oben-Ajaokuta gas pipeline, the intended upgrade will require that a single 8 MW compressor station be located 98 km from gas source for continuous gas delivery if the existing 24" pipeline is maintained. For the proposed 460 km long Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna pipeline system, the most competitive configuration for a flow rate of 450 MMSCFD was found to be a 24" pipeline with two compressor stations located at 86 km, 256 km and 370 km from gas source requiring 10 MW, 8 MW and 5 MW respectively of compression power.


In order to study the effect of Thorazine on egg production of black-speckle feather breed-layer,150 healthy black-speckle feather breed-layers at 36 weeks were divided into five groups among which 4 experimental groups were used Thorazine: experimental group one 10mg per day,experimental group two 15mg per day,experimental group three 20mg per day,experimental group four 25mg per day,which is used for two successive days and stopped for 5 days and then repeat;the control isn't applied medicine.The result showed that in the first week of the treatment,the laying rate of experimental group 2 increased significantly,while others not.In the second week of the treatment,the laying rate of experimental group 1 increased significantly.The average laying rate of experimental group 2 elevated in two weeks and that of group 1 dropped,while without significant difference in other groups.

Special emphasis is put on studying the dependence of saturating field configurations and topological charges on the vector-meson bare mass.


Objective To investigate the value of embolic protection device(EPD)in renal artery stenting(RAS)for the patients with normal renal function. Methods Total 24 patients(26 renal arteries)suffering from renal artery stenosis with normal serum creatinine were divided into two groups: EPD group(n = 12)and non-EPD group(n = 12).Serum creatinine was calculated and analized statistically between the two groups, 1 month and 6months after stenting respectively, and followed by comparisons taking inside of each group and between both groups. Results Serum creatinine of the EPD and non-EPD groups before, 1 month and 6 month after stenting were(99.18 ± 18.26) μmol/L, (101.73 ± 12.65) μmol/L, (96.82 ± 15.81) μmol/L and (100.18 ± 19.81) μmol/L, (107.36 ± 29.49) μmol/L,(127.64 ± 88.05) μmol/L, respectively; showing no significant difference inside each group individually(P 0.05), and also no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P 0.05). Conclusion For the patients suffering from renal artery stenosis with normal serum creatinine, application of EPD may have no impact on renal function. Further evaluation is needed.

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are revolutionizing how utilities plan and operate the grid, which ultimately influences the customer experience. Partially driven by increasing federal and state incentives for DERs, there is an increased interest to integrate solar generation facilities with the grid. To put this into perspective, interconnection applications in ComEd's territory increased more than 1,500% in the last three years and the accelerating trend continues. Most interconnection applications are for solar facilities that are less than 25kW in capacity ("Level 1" applications). The potential adverse impacts of each interconnection needs to be evaluated. Traditionally, a Level 1 technical screening is a manual process that involves reviewing the application against predetermined criteria set forth in the Illinois Administrative Code. ComEd has developed and deployed innovative solutions to automate such reviews by integrating data from multiple legacy ComEd systems and analyzing Level 1 applications to verify, that the applications meet the criteria to pass the technical screens. The automated technical screening process for most Level 1 application has facilitated improved management of complex utility scale commercial and industrial interconnection applications. This automation initiative has also enhanced customer service by significantly decreasing interconnection application turnaround time and ensuring a premier customer experience.


This work aims to highlight the importance of social impact and criminal prevention of protection actions carried out by Catarina Women's Protection Network, as a policing strategy, which goes beyond immediate assistance to the victim and constitutes a tool for cultural transformation of the stereotype built about role of men and women in the group impacted by the Network. For this, the inductive approach method was used, starting from particular propositions to the result analysis in general, obtaining, from there, the assumptions for the research conclusions. The research procedure adopted was data collection, with application of questionnaire to women victims of domestic and family violence attended by the Military Police garrison that works in Catarina Women's Protection Network at 5th Military Police Battalion headquarters, in the city of Tubarao / SC, as well as bibliographic research. The article was structured in three chapters, which addressed the legislative evolution affecting to the theme, the attribution of the Military Police related to crimes of domestic and family violence, the methodology used, as well as the analysis of the data obtained in the research. After these approaches, it can be concluded that Catarina Women's Protection Network performance is an effective policing strategy with regard to the prevention of crimes of domestic and family violence, the guarantee of women rights and the efficiency of state institutions, promoting changes in culture and behavior, translating into a model of police action that meets the complexity of the factors that involve this type of crime, since that traditional model of reactive policing no longer meets the preventive demands for this type of crime.


First, in case of no damping, the forced vibrations of coil springs under periodical excitation of the lift of the cam have been analytically studied, and the amplitude and resonance frequency made clear. Secondly, the maximum amplitude and shearing stress of vibration resonant with the j th harmonics of the cam are shown by B=2δj/c, τdy=τ0(2π/c). Where B : the amplitude in the center of the spring. δj : the j th harmonics of the cam. τdy : the shearing stress of surging at the end of the spring. τ0 : the static stress due to δj. c : the logarithmic decrement. Next, we have measured the logarithmic decrement in which case c was 0.07∼0.02.


vated as such students are, the day-a-monith absence for dysmenorrhea, so common in industry, is relatively unheard of in medical school. Each day's services are too vital to be missed for cramps. Long hours in the operating room are taken in stride. Realistically, women medical students do face residual antagonism, but this should noit be of undue concern. These seem to be the problems; there are many advantages. The normal young woman is basically maternal, so she loves taking care of patients; empath,y is important in medicine and she has it. The woman medical student's capacity for detail, a handicap at times in abstract study, is a joy to her patients; the woman student listens to every detail and takes care of the many minor items which make for patient comfort even if they are not matters of life and death. By and large, if a woman is admitted to a medical school and if the medical school has been wise enough to base its choice on character, loyalty and warmth as well as on intellectual capacity and grades, she is indeed well off despite her special problems.

Realization of high power isolated DC-DC converters is largely dependent on managing converter parasitics and losses. In this paper, four different DC/DC converter topologies are compared in terms of their losses. The topologies include hard switched half bridge, switched snubber half bridge, zero voltage switching phase shifted full bridge and loss limited (semi soft switched) full bridge converters. These topologies have been designed to obtain 350 V 300 A DC output from a 650 V DC input at 20 kHz switching frequency. Design results and loss evaluations are presented.


Recent studies have examined the application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to treat individuals with voice disorders. Appropriate protocols should be established for effective use of NMES. The purpose of this study was to use acoustic data to evaluate the effectiveness of NMES to the anterior neck in reducing vocal fatigue and muscle soreness following a prolonged reading task. Recordings were taken from two groups of talkers. Both groups completed a 45 minute oral reading task, then 11 subjects underwent a 15 minute NMES session, another group of 11 subjects completed the reading task only. Audio recordings were made before the reading task, after the reading task, and after the final 15 minutes. Acoustic measures of recordings included fundamental frequency, relative speech amplitude, cepstral level, H1-H2, H1-A1, and H1-A3. Preliminary results indicate increases in fundamental frequency and relative speech amplitude at the end of the reading task relative to pre- and post-session level...


Fly ash generated in the process of combustion of municipal waste is classified as hazardous waste. Its management today has become a significant problem. One of the methods of safe management of such ash may be using it for the production of concrete as a partial replacement for cement. Using immobilization, the number of hazardous compounds could be limited so that the obtained new material would be safe for the natural environment. Recovery of byproducts—in this case, fly ash—complies with the business models applied in the production cycle in the circular economy model. Such a solution may result in saving energy, limiting CO2 emissions, reducing the use of natural resources, and management of dangerous waste. It should be added that concretes with the addition of hazardous waste would be used for industrial purposes according to the binding legal regulations. This article presents the influence of the addition of fly ash on the selected mechanical properties of concrete. Fly ash from the incineration of municipal waste was used as a partial replacement of CEM I concrete at amounts of 4%, 8%, and 18% of its mass. The compressive strength and flexural strength of such concretes were tested after 28 days of concrete curing. This article also presents the tests of the leachability of contaminants from fly ash and concretes produced with Portland cement CEM I. The test results confirm that immobilization is an effective process that limits the amount of contamination in the water extract. Zinc, lead, and chrome were almost completely immobilized by the C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) concrete phase, with their immobilization degree exceeding 99%. Chloride content also underwent immobilization at a similar level of 99%. The sulfates were immobilized at the level of 96%. The subject matter discussed in this article is essential because, to protect the natural environment and, thus, reduce the use of natural resources, it is increasingly necessary to reuse raw materials—not natural, but recycled from the industry. Waste often contains hazardous compounds. A proposal for their safe disposal is their immobilization in a cement matrix. An important aspect is reducing leachability from concrete as much as possible, e.g., using nanomaterials. The effectiveness of reducing the leachability of hazardous compounds with the proposed method was checked in this study.


Water sanitation development is an important aspect in achieving public health and welfare in Indonesia. However,the problem of water sanitation is increasingly complex and difficult to solve. This study aims to evaluate watersanitation policies in an effort to provide clean water for the community, as well as analyze the factors that supportand hinder the implementation of water sanitation policies. The research method used is descriptive, focusing onWeekurra Village, West Wewewa District, Southwest Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. TheGovernment of Southwest Sumba realizes that Weekurra Village has potential natural resources that can be used tomeet water sanitation needs and increase access to adequate clean water. Although water sanitation services areavailable in Weekurra Village, residents still have to travel a long distance (about 1.3 km) with about 16 minutes,through inadequate roads, to get clean water. This is a worrying problem. An inhibiting factor in the provision of cleanwater is the uneven distribution, where some regions have not benefited. This is due to the long distance betweenwater sources and residents' residences, as well as the lack of budget to build pipeline infrastructure and waterreservoirs for each individual. Based on research findings, there are several problems that have not been solved Therefore, several suggestions were proposed, among others: cooperation between the Village Government and theRegency Government of South West Sumba to formulate regulations governing sanitation and the provision of cleanwater, to ensure the need for clean water can be fulfilled properly as a basic human need. In addition, it is expectedthat there will be sufficient budget to build facilities and infrastructure such as storage tanks and pipe systems as aneffort to distribute clean water to the community in Weekurra Village


Public and private organizations have legacy or operational spatial databases or non-spatial databases, which are also somehow linked to a spatial database or a spatial meaning. In addition to mission related databases, these organizations either have or access several databases comprising such as census, economic, security, image, multimedia, statistical information for planning, intelligence, decision and policy making. The extended size of these data sets makes it difficult to search for meaningful patterns or relationships among data. Spatial data mining is the process of discovering interesting and previously unknown, but potentially useful patterns from large spatial datasets. This paper focuses on Techniques and the unique features that distinguish spatial data mining from classical data mining, Finally it identify areas of spatial data mining where further research is needed.


Taxus yunnanensis (Taxaceae) is an endangered plant known for its effective natural anti-cancer metabolite, taxol. To assess the effectiveness of T. yunnanensis ex situ conservation in China, the genetic diversity and genetic structure of nine cultivated and 14 natural populations were compared using 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers. The purpose of this comparison was to determine whether the cultivated populations were genetic representatives of natural types. Among the 14 natural populations studied, three were from Tibet and 11 were from the Hengduan Mountains. There were fewer genetic variations among cultivated populations than among natural populations, but this difference was not significant. However, 23 unique alleles were detected in cultivated populations and 14 were detected in natural populations. Striking differences in genetic structure (GST = 0.365) was observed between them. STRUCTURE, AMOVA and cluster analyses also consistently showed a clear genetic separation between the 14 natural and seven cultivated populations. Only five natural populations from the south-central Hengduan Mountains were genetically represented in two cultivated collections. The reason for the occurrence of distinct genetic differences between cultivated and natural populations and the loss of natural population-specific alleles in the cultivated populations can be attributed to uneven selection during establishment. These results suggest that the genetic structure of T. yunnanensis may not have been conserved effectively. Based on our study, practical conservation strategies for ex situ preservation of T. yunnanensis have been developed. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015, 177, 450–461.


Bluetooth Low Energy is an interesting short-range radio technology that could be used for connecting tiny devices into the Internet of Things (IoT) through gateways or cellular networks. For example, they are widely used in various contexts, from building and home automation to wearables. This paper proposes a method to improve the use of smartphones with a smart wireless sensor network acquisition system through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). A new BLE Smart Sensor, which acquires environmental data, was designed and calibration methods were performed. A detailed deviation is calculated between reference sensor and sensor node. The data obtained from laboratory experiments were used to evaluate battery life of the node. An Android application for devices such as Smartphones and Tablets can be used to collect data from a smart sensor, which becomes more accurate.


The measurements of the electronic charge e, by Ehrenhaft and Millikan in the early nineteen hundreds generated a bitter controversy between the orthodox and the atomic points of views. Guided by the Pauli-Fermi neutrino model for beta-decay in this paper we speculate that the introduction of a small hypothetical force is adequate to account for most of the contentious differences between the observations of Millikan and Ehrenhaft.


Nuclear genomes of vertebrates are composed of mosaic structures having different GC content (GC content is the molar ratio of guanine + cytosine in nucleotide sequence). These structures are called isochores, and each segment length is about 300kb [1]. Previous research has shown that different GC region of chromosome is correlated with several properties: the staining intensity of chromosomal bands [2] and gene density in GC-rich regions and GC-poor regions of isochores [3]. Then, most of the genes expressed ubiquitously in various tissues as a housekeeping gene are in the GC-rich regions [4]. It is considered that the isochores are related to the gene expression [3]. In addition, the GC content of gene coding region is related to the GC content of surrounding region of genome, for example GC-rich genes tend to present in GC-rich region of isochores and vice versa [5]. These facts indicate that GC content is one of the most important factors for considering the meaning of genes in terms of the expression in cells. In the accompany paper, we showed that some of proteins coded in the total genome have charge periodicity of 28 residues (PCP28). PCP28 were obtained by using the autocorrelation function of electric charges of amino acid sequences and had the significant peak at 28 residues periodicity in the plot of the function. More PCP28 were found in the eukaryotic genomes than in the prokaryotic genomes. Most of PCP28 are nuclear proteins which play important roles, such as gene regulation, genome replication, and so on. For more understanding of the role of PCP28, we investigated the GC content of PCP28. In this work, we analyzed the human genome focusing on PCP28, GC content, and gene expression. First, we investigated the population of PCP28 from the human genome as a function of the GC content. The result indicated that the GC content for PCP28 located in the nucleus was very low while that for PCP28 in other localization showed broad distribution. The low GC distribution is usually correlated with the low expression level of PCP28 [3]. Therefore, we investigated the expression pattern of PCP28 in several types of cells by using the published human genes expression data of microarray (http://symatlas.gnf.org).
