G.R.Ulikhanyan QSAR modeling of plasmin inhibitors controlled by the spacer Hydantoin *Bouchlaleg lazhar ,Belaidi Salah, Salah Toufik Faculty of Sciences, LMCE Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, Group of Computational and Pharmaceutical Chemistry,University of Biskra, 07000, Biskra, Algeria. Laboratory Eco-design and Earthquake Engineering in Construction Innovation,, Mechanical Department, Faculty of Technology, University of Batna,05000,Batna,Algeria. Abstract: A unique feature of the new line of the plasmin inhibitors is that the interaction between the plasmin inhibitors and key sub sites in plasmin can be controlled by a spacer like Hydantoin (2 ,4 imidazolidinedione). The application of the novel chemotype provides further evidence on the importance of hydantoin as the spacer. In this study 18 Hydantoins derivatives were investigated for the QSAR study in order to understand which properties are closely correlated with the activity of plasmin inhibitory. A multiple linear regression procedure was used to correlate between molecular descriptors pol, log P, MV, SAG , HE, MW and FR. The best QSAR model was further validated by a leave one-out technique as well as by calculation of statistical parameters for established theoretical models. High agreement between experimental and predicted data obtained in the validation procedure, indicates good quality of our QSAR model.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an excellent inhibition target to shut down highly proliferative cells and thereby develop a broad‐spectrum cancer therapeutic. It interacts with a wide variety of proteins through a conserved motif referred to as the PCNA‐interacting protein (PIP) box. There is large sequence diversity between high‐affinity PCNA binding partners, but with conservation of the binding structure—a well‐defined 310‐helix. Herein, all current PIP‐box peptides crystallised with human PCNA are collated to reveal common trends between binding structure and affinity. Key intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding networks that stabilise the 310‐helix of PIP‐box partners are highlighted and related back to the canonical PIP‐box motif. High correlation with the canonical PIP‐box sequence does not directly afford high affinity. Instead, we summarise key interactions that stabilise the binding structure that leads to enhanced PCNA binding affinity. These interactions also implicate the "non‐conserved" residues within the PIP‐box that have previously been overlooked. Such insights will allow a more directed approach to develop therapeutic PCNA inhibitors.


65 patients with double J uretheral or pig-tail catheters for stone disease or not, were evaluated in the present study. Indications, control, follow-up, adverse conditions, complications and therapy are included. We consider double J catheters to be effective in the post-surgical period in endourological interventions, they can be used as monotherapy for obstructive stones and they are useful in compression uronephrosis of the excretory system, but being an indwelling device it is prone to complications.


— Many commercial processes are available for the removal of H 2 S from gaseous streams. The desulfurization of gas streams using aqueous ferric sulfate solution as washing liquor is studied. Apart from sulfur, only H 2 O is generated in the process, and consequently, no waste treatment facilities are required. A distinct advantage of the process is that the reaction of H 2 S with is so rapid and complete that there remains no danger of discharging toxic waste gas. In this study, the reactive absorption of hydrogen sulfide into aqueous ferric sulfate solution has been studied and design calculations for equipments have been done and effective operation parameters on this process considered. Results show that high temperature and low pressure are suitable for absorption reaction. Variation of hydrogen sulfide concentration and Fe 3+ concentration with time in absorption reaction shown that the reaction of ferric sulfate and hydrogen sulfide is first order with respect to the both reactant. At low Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 concentration the absorption rate of H 2 S increase with increasing the Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 concentration. At higher concentration a decrease in the absorption rate was found. At higher concentration of Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , the ionic strength and viscosity of solution increase remarkably resulting in a decrease of solubility, diffusivity and hence absorption rate.


The study of geochemical fields and geochemical anomalies is a necessary part of exploration for ore deposits on the ocean floor. Geochemical processes related to hydrothermal activity occurring at the boundary between different media are of special interest. About 10 years ago, concentrations of suspended iron 20 times greater than those in the overlying waters were found in the bottom waters of the Mid-Atlantic Rift near 26/sup 0/N. A number of reports then appeared, showing that in other rift zones as well, the bottom/water interface is characterized by elevated concentrations of iron, manganese, zinc, copper, nickel, and other elements. Thus the present writers were persuaded that the minor elements in bottom waters can serve as indicators of hydrothermal flux to the ocean floor. In carrying out investigations of this kind, one must study the distribution of the metals not only in the bottom waters, but through the entire depth of the sea, so that anomalies can be detected and localized against the level of the background concentrations. In addition, to obtain information on the sources of the metals, one must determine not just the total contents, but also distinguish the metals in solution and in suspension. Results are discussed. Themore » observations clarify the relations between dissolved and suspended forms of metals in weakly mineralized waters above oceanic rifts. 13 references, 5 figures, 5 tables.« less


Geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) models have been widely used to explore spatiotemporal nonstationarity where all the regression coefficients are assumed to be varying over both space and time. In reality, however, constant, only temporally varying, and only spatially varying coefficients might also be possible depending on the underlying effects of the explanatory variables on the response variable. Therefore, the development of inference and estimation methods for such special types of the coefficients is essential to the deep understanding of spatiotemporal characteristics of the regression relationship. In this article, an average-based approach, relying on a modified estimation of the conventional GTWR models, is proposed to calibrate the GTWR models with the special types of the coefficients, on which a statistical test is formulated to simultaneously infer constant, temporally varying, and spatially varying coefficients. The simulation study shows that the test method is of valid Type I error and satisfactory power and the average-based estimation method yields more accurate estimators for the special types of the coefficients. A real-life example based on Beijing house prices is given to demonstrate the applicability of the test and estimation methods as well as the extensibility of the test in model selection.


Turbo-encoded multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radio links have recently been proposed for the support of high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) in UMTS, where the re-use of spreading codes across the transmitter antennas results in high levels of interference. The state-of-the-art receiver chain for such a link incorporates space-time channel equalization, de-spreading, pre-whitening and finally a posteriori probability (APP) detection. A multi-stage partial parallel interference canceller (MS-PPIC) is considered as a low complexity alternative to the APP detector and its max-log variant. Nonlinear cancellation metrics are derived for the MS-PPIC and its performance is compared with the APP detector for flat and dispersive channels. It is shown that the MS-PPIC can provide similar performance compared to APP and, for low coding rates, superior performance compared to max-log-APP, at a substantially lower computational complexity.


Functional hydrogel is becoming a frequently used material in various fields, especially in biological and medical applications. In order to overcome the barriers of low uniformity of structure and lack of energy dissipation effect in common hydrogel, in this work a strategy of doping plasmonic HxMoO3 quantum dots into PNIPAM (poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide)) hydrogel to proceed its multifunctionalization is developed. This quantum dots‐induced tactic could effectuate the enhancement of photothermal conversion, mechanical property, adhesion, and self‐healing performance simultaneously. In particular, for adhesion performance, the toughness value could be elevated to over 2500 J m−2 efficiently. Further, the enhancement mechanism behind the extraordinary adhesion performance is studied, and it can be contributed to the synergistic effect of pore structure regulation and abundant hydrogen bond, which are both beneficial to the interaction between composite hydrogel and solid surface. Subsequently, based on its extraordinary adhesion and self‐healing performance, the applicability of HxMoO3/PNIPAM hydrogel as a MØ growth substrate is investigated on wound dressing, and the experimental result demonstrates its excellent MØ growth‐promoting activity.


The present research aim was analysis of long-term radiation effects on biochemical characteristics of sperm collected from donors originating from radioactive-polluted territories of Ukraine, namely Zhytomyr oblast, Ivano-Frankivsk oblast, Kyiv oblast and Poltava oblast. Apart from this, the role of radiation component in sperm damaging was assessed.

It was found that in the most radiation polluted region - Zhytomyr the sperm samples were characterized by a large proportion of degenerative spermatozoa along with immobile sperms. Early signs of apoptosis development in spermatozoa were shown to progress gradually from Poltava to Zhytomyr. Thus, the apoptotic index for sperm samples was highest in Zhytomyr and lowest in Poltava. Also, raise in accumulated radiation dose was associated with elevation of ROS production in sperm samples.

It was shown that the ROS production for Zhytomyr donors was threefold more than for Poltava's donors and almost twofold more than for donors from Ivano-Frankivsk. Also we found differences in the mitochondrial potential (∆ψ) of spermatozoa too. The total ∆ψ tended to drop down depending on the mean value of radiation accumulated dose, for Kyiv and Zhytomyr the mean values being significantly less than for Poltava.

Thus, our investigations have shown that subjects living on radiation polluted territories may generate a great deal of damaged spermatozoa with the hidden molecular and cellular lesions. The latter would predispose inhabitants of radiation polluted regions to male-infertility.


Aimsand method Theaim of the studywasto clarify the role of psychotherapy departments in relation to a general psychiatric service, and in particular community mental health teams (CMHTs).Literature reviews of therapeutic activities in CMHTsand of psychotherapy delivery methods were undertaken. The implications of the National Health Service Executive document on Psychotherapy Services in England was considered, based on experience of the psychotherapy-general psychiatry interfaces in North Devon and Bristol. ResultsPsychological therapiesare an integralpart of psychiatrictreatment provided in CMHTs. but are often delivered without careful assessment, training or supervision. Psychotherapy departments contain expertise in the range of psychological therapies, but are sometimes perceived as remote from everyday psychiatricpractice. Waysin which the divide between general psychiatry and psychotherapy might be bridged are suggested. A multi-disciplinary psychological treatment unit can offer specialist resources for the assessment and treatment of complex cases, especially those with personality disorders;psychological interventionsin psychosis;and brief focused therapies for neurotic disorders unresponsiveto drugs. Clinicalimplications Consultation and liaisonwiththe CMHTshould become a key element in the work of a psychological treatment unit, and structured therapies under supervisionsimilarlycentral to the work of CMHTs.


Particle distribution of EAST-NBI vacuum space affects the re-ionization loss of neutral beam greatly and is an important issue for structural design of EAST-NBI system and improving the heating efficiency.According to the working principle,structural features and properties of gas supply system of EAST-NBI,mathematical model was established by Monte-Carlo method,and particle distribution of EAST-NBI vacuum space at any time was programmed and simulated by Matlab software.The results showed that the main factors which affect particle distribution of EAST-NBI vacuum space are the type of gas source,gas volume and the emission direction of gas particles,and provided the theoretical basis for reducing the re-ionization loss,improving heating efficiency and development of EAST-NBI.


We propose a simple photonic waveguide structure that exhibits light propagation modes with vanishing group velocity via mode degeneracy. This enables stationary inflection point dispersion leading to the frozen mode and a true time delay device suitable for ultra-wide-band beamforming for millimeter wave (mmWave) phased arrays. The structure consists of three silicon ridge waveguides in proximity with periodic gaps introduced in the outer waveguides to create a band gap. The structure is complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor compatible with a very small footprint of only about 56µm2 and more resilient to fabrication uncertainties as compared to the previously studied structures. Simulation results show transmission of 70% of the incident wave for the frozen mode at the 1.55 µm (193.6 THz) wavelength through the waveguide. It also enables a delay-bandwidth product of 6.75 along with unprecedented frequency independent bandwidth of about 0.5 THz for RF-mmWave–terahertz beamforming.


The 'steepling' effect (large excursions in analytical data over time) is a debated issue in forensic breath alcohol analysis with various explanations being postulated. Simulated breath alcohol data was generated according to a hypothetical kinetic model where single random samples as well as means of duplicate random samples were plotted with respect to time at 0.2 hour intervals. In addition, the simulated data was compared when both two or more digit treatment was employed. Results showed the occurrence of significant noise or 'steepling' when single, two-digit breath alcohol samples were employed as compared to a four-digit mean computed from three-digit duplicates. The magnitude of variability was quantified by means of nonlinear regression resulting in the residual sum of squares (RSS) = 0.00202 for the single analysis and RSS = 0.00053 for the mean of duplicates. The method of data collection and treatment appears to contribute significantly to the 'steepling' phenomenon. Intuitively, replicate analyses reduce variability and allow for more accurate kinetic modelling employing breath alcohol analysis.


Camera and laser rangefinder (LRF) are widely used in various mobilized systems, such as intelligent vehicle, autonomous robot, etc. And extrinsic calibration is essential and basically the first step to integrate image and 3D LIDAR data. This paper presents a flexible method for extrinsic calibration of a pin-hole camera and a 3D Laser Rangefinder (LRF). The method extends the chessboard pattern, which is originally used for camera calibration, for camera and 2D LRF calibration. It requires at least 3 input planes to determine the rotation and translation between these two sensors. The proposed method formulates the extrinsic calibration problem as to register point correspondences in the dual 3D space instead of plane registration in 3D space. And the rotation matrix and the translation vector are estimated separately. The extrinsic calibration results allow the registration of image and 3D LIDAR data by mapping all the LIDAR data onto the imaging plane. The proposed method has been tested with both simulation and real data. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is both accurate and practical.

The ideal of the problem method in teaching is to give the student greater opportunity to gather first-hand information by his own observations, but, in so far as possible, without decreasing the rate of useful learning. With this in mind a program of instruction was set up in the science department of Christenberry Junior High School in Knoxville, Tennessee. Christenberry is a modern school where discipline is maintained but is never obvious. Much of the program is integrated. For example, there is correlation between science, fine arts and shopwork. The student body is varied. The library facilities are above the average and the building is modern and of superior construction. All programs of the science department were carefully explained to the students in order that they would understand the aims sought and the difficulties to be overcome. The enthusiastic approval of a project by the students was an important step toward the final success of the program. The students cooperated to better advantage, felt that the class was their own and that they were responsible for its success. Each child so desiring could purchase a textbook, but the school owned three sets of different text-books for each classroom. The students were allowed to take these books out over night. During three years only two books were lost. There was

Pervasive computing technology plays a key role for providing context information and offering context-aware services, which allows users to obtain digitized contents and services from wired and wireless networks virtually anywhere at any time via different handheld mobile devices. In this paper, we propose an agent-based context-aware middleware for pervasive computing environment, which is implemented in JADE agent platform and we integrated ontology and rule-based reasoning to automatically infer high-level contexts and deduce a goal of context-aware services. The middleware has been implemented as a distributed multi-agent system, which allows mobile agent delegating user's intent, roaming about the networks, searching proper resources, and supplying appropriate services for users. A Healthcare scenario demonstrates the detail functions of each agent and shows how these agents incorporate with each others.


Objective To investigate the initial and optimal time for the demonstration of the spiral CT signs of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during different scanning phases and to obtain an optimizing sequence of temporary window.Materials and Methods Spiral CT scanning with a Siemens Somatom Plus 4A unit was performed in 41 cases with proved HCC. At 14~21 seconds after the start of intravenous administration of 100ml contrast medium (3ml/s) hepatic arterial phase (HAP) single level dynamic scanning of a predetermined target section was performed, which was followed successively by the regular portal venous phase (PVP) scanning (80~85 seconds delay) of the whole liver and by the equilibrium phase scanning (170~285 seconds delay) of the target section. The visual brain assessment of images and statistical analysis of the data were conducted.Results The initial and optimal time for the demonstration of the spiral CT signs of HCC were 18.62s and 42.26s, respectively, with the peak value time of 48.4s.Conclusion The initial and optimal time demonstrating the HCC signs reflects the dominant arterial supply in HCC and the characteristics of dual blood supply of the liver. The maximum enhancement of tumor should occur in so called mixed phase of late HAP and early PVP, rather than in pure HAP. It is suggested that for single level dynamic CT scanning in patients with HCC the scan delay time of 18s, 25s, 28s and 45s should be used, then, the whole liver scanning should be performed in PVP.


The third edition of Chris Frost's seminal textbook is as up to date as a publication focusing on the fast-changing world of journalism ethics and regulation can possibly be. The concepts of press freedom and appropriate journalistic conduct are more relevant than ever in a post-hacking, post-News of the World Britain, and as the possible long-term impact of new media on law, news production and practices still remains unclear, it is reassuring to see that some commentators are thinking carefully about these issues. Frost provides a good framework for the discussion of journalistic ethics, outlining potential definitions as well as the classical underpinnings of the field. He includes some useful tables and bullet points, condensing some complicated theory into easy-to-understand chunks. He explores the tricky territory of what constitutes impartiality and objectivity, presenting it in such a way, relating it to real life and experience, that students should easily be able to grasp these occasionally opaque ideas. There is much useful material on how to behave as a journalist – for example, when interviewing someone – encouraging the reader to think about their own methods and practices rather than simply considering the issues theoretically and at one remove. Frost's own experience as a journalist comes to the fore here, highlighting likely ethical dilemmas and acknowledging the conflict between doing things 'by the book' and getting a great story. Frost carefully navigates the tricky path between practical journalism and academic critique of journalistic practices, providing helpful signposts to further reading at the end of most chapters.

Understanding and quantifying correctly the effects of overload on the cyclic damage accumulation at a microscale discontinuity is essential for the development of a multstage fatigue model under variable loading. Micromechanical simulations were conducted on a 7075-T651 Al alloy to quantify the cyclic microplasticity induced by constant amplitude cyclic loads following a pre -overload. The initial overstraining amplitudes were selected in the region of limited macroscopic plastic deformation to account for both macroscopic and microscopi c plastic overloading effects. The nonlocal equivalent plastic strain at the micrometer-scale discontinuity showed the overload effects primarily in two forms: 1) the cyclic plastic dissipation is greater in the cycles following a pre -overstraining than that without a pre -overstraining; 2) the overtraining causes the nonlocal equivalent plastic strain to increase two times in a tensile loading step and three times in the compression loading steps, as compared to those without a pre -overstraining. The cyclic plastic zone at the microdiscontinuity corresponds to the maximum load in o verstraining. The micromechanical simulation results support a cyclic damage accumulation rule that captures the cyclic microplasticity accumulation induced by an overstraining for a high fidelity fatigue incubation model under variable amplitude loading.


This article analyzes the processes and findings of a collaborative action research (CAR) project that aimed to analyze the potential of materiality to radically transform the way English was taught and learnt in an underprivileged public school in Spain. The CAR drew on new materialisms and new literacy studies to explore the relationship between matter and English language teaching from socio-economic, socio-cultural, and technological perspectives. The main pedagogical strategy consisted of widening the quantity and quality of the material resources in the English classroom, precisely to draw a material link between the English classroom and the students' homes, communities, and the informal literacies they enacted in them. Through two cycles of inquiry, the CAR team put into practice two multimodal and artifactual workshops with a group of nine children coming from underprivileged, minority backgrounds. A variety of qualitative strategies were used (including classroom recordings, student interviews, and photographs) to confirm that the insights from new materialisms and new literacy studies had generated opportunities for meaningful English learning within a culturally sustaining pedagogy.

This paper summarizes an investigation into innovative concepts for improving the recovery systems used in ejection seats. The system configuration selected on the basis of minimizing forward-throw distance at high ejection airspeeds includes inertially controlled continuous disreefing on a half-size main parachute,and a retraction soft landing system. The objective of these improvements is to reduce the time and distance for parachute opening at all airspeeds from zero to 600 knots, to reduce parachute landing velocity, and to accommodate an expanded crew weight range. This paper summarizes the results of simulations of continuous disreefing using various control laws. Specific conclusions are drawn ' regarding implementatiion of continuous disreefing for opening control of high speed parachutes.


Abstract : The formalism for a complete treatment of elastic wave scattering from cylindrical cavities and solid inclusions has been worked out for both perpendicular and oblique indice. Special cases, e.g., fluid cylinders enclosed in fluid or solid media, have already been numerically analyzed. Poles of scattering amplitudes in the complex frequency plane have been found, and were physically interpreted in terms of helical surface waves on the cylinders propagating in both the interior and the exterior medium. Dispersion, attenuation and refraction of these surface waves have been obtained. (Author)


Over the previous years, many service-oriented (SO) solutions have been proposed by European research projects for the technological advancement of industrial systems. These projects typically include a software reference architecture (RA) based on the concepts of service-oriented architectures (SOA) and, often-times, an accompanying technology stack to guarantee system-wide interoperability. In this paper, we survey and outline the specific approaches, standards, and specifications applied by five such projects in their pursuit of SO solutions to specific manufacturing and production problems.


It has long been believed that object-oriented system structuring offers advantages for design and implementation of com- puter software systems with respect to comprehensibility, verifiability, maintainability, etc. The major obstacle to widespread use of object- oriented systems has been that their execution has been intrinsically inefficient due to excessive overhead. This paper contends that much of the execution overhead of object-oriented systems has been due to the implementation structure, that is, the objects are built upon a con- ventional layered software structure. This paper proposes a vertically partitioned structure for design and implementation of object-oriented systems and demonstrates their performance. We show that the appli- cation independent portion of the execution overheads in object-ori- ented systems can be less than the application independent overheads in conventionally organized systems built upon layered structures. Vertical partitioning implements objects through extended type managers. An extended type manager not only implements the func- tionality which defines a type but also implements all state management functions such as storage, access control and consistency management (including concurrency control, error detection, and fault recovery) for the occurrences of that type. Two key design concepts result in performance improvement: object semantics can be used in the state management functions of an object type and atomicity is maintained at the type manager boundaries providing efficient recovery points. The performance evaluation is based upon a case study of a simple but nontrivial distributed real-time system application. Evaluation of overheads was accomplished by implementing system control, but not implementing application functionality for both conventional layered and vertically partitioned versions of the application. The results show a clear diminution of overhead in the vertically partitioned, object- oriented structured system over the functionally oriented, layered structured system.

The main circuit topology structure of three-level three-phase four bridge leg active power filter(APF) was studied.Based on the mathematic model of APF established,predictive current control was proposed to control the APF.It predicted the compensating current of the next sampling period by the sampled information of the present period,and then calculated the turn-off pulses of the switching devices in three-level three-phase four bridge legs active power filter.The generated current is equivalent to the reference current and the predictive compensation was achieved in this way.The simulation results illustrate that the control strategy can compensate the three-phase harmonic current and neutral current effectively,and keep the two capacitors voltage balance very well.Therefore,this kind of APF has a good application prospect in the three-phase four-wire system.

This paper describes the geometry and the behaviour of the Earth's outer radiation belt polar boundary at the altitudes between 500 and 1000 km from the Earth surface in dependence of universal time and geomagnetic activity expressed by the Dst-index. The quantitative model which was built earlier for the Northern hemisphere in quiet conditions using the Coronas-Photon data measured in 2009 is upgraded in this work using Meteor-M No.1 data for being usable during periods of disturbed magnetosphere. Both hemispheres are studied now. Observations are taking place at different altitudes. The outer radiation belt boundary is compared with the Polar Oval using data of NOAA POES for the period of time from September 2011 till July 2012.


Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of three treatment options (splint therapy, physical therapy, and pharmacologic therapy) in patients suffering from painful temporomandibular joint clicking. Materials and Methods: 60 patients were included in the study suffering from temporomandibular joint disorders randomly divided into three treatment groups. Twenty patients which were given pharmacological treatment (group I), 20 patients will received TENS therapy (group II), and 20 patients will be given splint therapy (group III). In all the three groups, subjective and objective assessments were evaluated at the time of diagnosis, after the first week of initiation of therapy and every week for three months of follow up. Results: There was gradual reduction seen in VAS scores, muscle tenderness, TMJ clicking and significant improvement in mouth opening in Group III therapy during the follow-up period as compared to Group I and Group II therapy. Conclusion: The conventional soft occlusal splint therapy is a much safer and effective mode of a conservative line of therapy in comparison to long-term pharmacotherapy and TENS therapy in patients with TMJ pain and dysfunction.

The pharyngeal cervical brachial (PCB) variant of Guillain-Barre-syndrome (GBS) is defined by rapidly progressive oropharyngeal and cervicobrachial weakness associated with areflexia in upper limbs. On nerve conduction study PCB represents a localized subtype of GBS characterized by axonal rather than demyelinating neuropathy. PCB is often misdiagnosed as brainstem stroke, myasthenia gravis or botulism. Herein we describe a case of symmetric descending type of acute flaccid paralysis with predominant upper limb involvement and also lower limb involvement diagnosed as a PCB- GBS overlap mainly based on nerve conduction study.


Abstract This article is derived from the first New Zealand-based study to examine in detail the potential role of motherhood in women's desistance. Narrative interviews were carried out with 13 mothers, predominantly Māori,1 with histories of incarceration. For one woman, becoming a mother for the first time was a clear turning point in her desistance. For most of the women, motherhood did not function as an initial turning point but was instrumental in facilitating desistance later in life. The article illuminates some of the socio-structural factors which can limit the potential for motherhood to positively influence the desistance process. It also examines the internal mechanisms by which motherhood inspired or cemented the women's later desistance with a specific focus on the change-driving effects of critical self-reflection. Finally, this article suggests that, for mothers, the journey toward tertiary (relational) desistance requires their children to accept, or at least recognize, their changed identities.

The formation of air-stable semiquinone of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, the only mammalian flavoprotein known to contain both FAD and FMN, was first reported by Masters et al. /sup 31/P NMR spectra were recorded (101.2 MHz) at 10+/-2/sup 0/C with a 0.82s pulse repetition rate for the acquisition of 90-170,000 transients per spectrum. Oxidized reductase showed five resolved resonances, four of which correspond to tightly-bound FAD and FMN. Upfield resonances at -7.33 (T/sub 1/ = 3.6s) and at -11.25 (T/sub 1/ = 6.5s)ppm are characteristic of FAD and downfield resonances at 3.98 and 4.40 (T/sub 1/ = 3.0s)ppm are attributed to FMN. The fifth resonance, at 1.70 (T/sub 1/ = 2.9s)ppm, is attributed to 2'-AMP which binds tightly to the enzyme and results from the preparative procedure. The reductase semiquinone was generated by NADPH, NADH or photoreduction under anaerobic conditions to permit stoichiometric reduction and minimize reoxidation of the flavoprotein over the 20-39-hour data acquisition period. The FMN signals of the semiquinone generated by three different reductants were line broadened while the FAD resonances were unaffected. These results represent the first direct evidence for localization of the free radical of the air-stable semiquinone in the FMN moiety and support the earliermore » studies of Vermilion and Coon. In addition, the accessibility of the /sup 31/P-containing moieties was probed with Mn.« less

SUMMARY The effects of different levels of R.H. on the hatching of the eggs of honeybees has been studied. The optimum range for normal hatching was found to be between 90 and 95 % R.H. There was a significant decline in the number of normal larvae that emerged when eggs were incubated at 100 % and 80 % R.H. At 50 °/, R.H. many eggs shrivelled and of the remainder, only 2.9 % produced normal larvae. No eggs hatched at humidities below 50 % R.H. Abnormal hatching was found to be due to failure of the hatching fluid to dissolve that part of the chorion covering the heads of the larvae. Practical implications of the results of the experiments are discussed.


In the Ecuadorian legal system there are two types of divorce, one by mutual consent and another by contentious way. The latter requires the existence and demonstration of a cause for its origin, a situation that has currently brought various problems in cases in which only one of the spouses requests the termination of the marriage bond and the other opposes, among which they find affectations to the physical, psychological, social, emotional and economic integrity of the spouses and, above all, of the minor children, since often before the impossibility of demonstrating a cause that fits the situation of the spouses opt for home abandonment, which sharpens these affectations for the family. In this sense, throughout the present work a study will be carried out on the inefficiency of resorting to the grounds of divorce, in order that any of the spouses can end the marriage bond without the need to resort to the expression of a cause. This type of divorce has already been adopted by other countries such as Spain and Mexico, where it has been recognized that this institute is an aspect of the private life of people in which the State cannot intervene. In Spanish legislation, there is also the theory of the unilateral withdrawal of the marriage contract, which considers that the termination of the marriage bond must be carried out in the same way as the other obligations are extinguished, which would include the possibility of terminating the marriage contract. Marriage through unilateral withdrawal, since the fact that one of the spouses comes before the jurisdiction to demand the termination of the marriage implies the absence of the purposes for which the same has been constituted, and this link may be terminated. Through the analysis of comparative legislation and the current situation in Ecuador, the need to incorporate uncaused divorce into Ecuadorian legislation will be demonstrated in order to guarantee the protection of family rights.


The essential component of development for a nation is health care to the citizens. The skilled human resource is produced by the development of the medical and paramedical institutions. The cost optimization of the electrical energy consumption and the emission control of energy generation is analyzed using Homerpro software well before the installation of the project. The analysis of a healthcare center in Tamilnadu is performed with Homerpro software. The annual energy production and the energy consumption are estimated, and it is found that the annual energy production is improved. The greenhouse gas emission is nullified to avoid the polluted environment.


Understanding the drivers of equal opportunities in education is a major question in economics. A very relevant feature of different schooling models and school choice mechanisms concerns school segregation by family background. School segregation has a mechanical negative effect on intergenerational mobility, and moreover, it is likely to affect parental investment behavior, potentially reinforcing the decrease in mobility. The goal of this paper is to understand the role of school segregation in explaining intergenerational mobility, inequality, and human capital accumulation. Using four waves (2003-2015) of PISA data across OECD countries, we show that school segregation is strongly negatively correlated with intergenerational educational mobility (Figure 1, correlation of -0.7), consistent with recent evidence outlining the large effects of neighborhoods on intergenerational mobility (Chetty and Hendren (2015), Chetty et al. (2016)). Based on the idea that the fiscal and social spillovers of residential segregation lead to a positive correlation between parental background and school quality (Benabou, 1996), we extend the benchmark model of intergenerational mobility (Solon, 1999) to account for school segregation, characterized as a mean-preserving change in the returns to parental investments across schools, with access to better schools positively correlated with parental income. We study how this affects optimal parental choices, intergenerational mobility, and the steady state level of human capital and inequality in the model. Our main result is that segregation, combined with income inequality alone, leads to a trade-off between aggregate human capital accumulation and equality and intergenerational mobility, regardless of genetic inheritability. The effect of segregation on parental investments is ambiguous, but the effect on human capital is positive: the parents reducing investment are those with access to worse schools, where parental investment is less productive; while those increasing investment are those with access to better schools, where parental investment is more productive. The main contribution of this paper is to include school segregation within the classical model of intergenerational mobility (Solon (1999), Becker and Tomes (1979)). Crucially, our model outlines the interaction between income inequality and the school system for intergenerational mobility, regardless of any genetic inheritability of ability. This makes the lack of mobility in educational attainment less socially acceptable, and the efficiency gains of a segregated school system more surprising compared to models where intergenerational mobility and efficiency are driven by the heritability of academic ability (Hare and Ulph (1979), Cremer et al. (2010)). In those models, the efficiency-equity tradeoff is based on the heritability of child ability. Concentrating good students in better schools would maximize educational outcomes and because students from richer families are by heritability on average better students, it will also increase inequality and lower intergenerational mobility.


With the increase of air conditioning needs in commercial sectors, reversible heat pumps represent a smart solution for energy consumption. Design and sizing of reversible air conditioning / heating systems are often based on the full load performance, in order to respect thermal comfort at extreme conditions. However, the HVAC industry is switching to designs based on improved seasonal performance at part load.


This paper describes a new approach for controlling an autonomous mobile robot indoors. In recent years, many studies are being done in order to solve the problem of an autonomous mobile robot indoors. The position detection of a mobile robot requires many artificial landmarks. Thus, the conventional method have to create landmark database which is stored large amount of landmark data. As a result, the conventional method takes much time to detect the position of a mobile robot. Moreover, preparation of many artificial markers is a cumbersome task for the user. Therefore, we propose the new landmark system which is able to detect position simply, quickly and accurately. In recent years, Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting is spreading rapidly as an indoor lighting. So, the proposal method uses frequency modulated LED lightings as landmarks indoors. It can distinguish between LED lightings quickly and accurately by difference of the frequency. The measurement system consists of a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit. The light projecting unit consists of a frequency modulation circuit and LEDs. The light receiving unit can detect the position of the mobile robot quickly from the receiving amount of a photodiode mounted on the mobile robot without the image processing. We verified the accuracy of the position detection. The proposal method could distinguish between multiple LED lightings accurately. In addition, the maximum error of the position detection was 2.70 cm. The maximum error rate was 1.45 %. The accuracy was considerably high. Measurement time was only 55 msec. The efficacy of the proposal method was confirmed by the experiment.


As in many sub-Saharan African countries with increasing demand for natural resources, how to move from archaic water legislation to new and up-to-date policies that cover both environmental and social consequences of water governance has become an issue. This study reviews Malawi's current governance framework and recommends a framework that takes Malawi's developmental needs into account. Our review of the state of water legislation shows that there is a lack of enforcement of the policies themselves and the public is not even aware of its existence. Lack of enforcement and public awareness have resulted in environmental degradation which is creating a lot of environmental problems for the citizens of Malawi. This work recommends future efforts in rationale evidence-based policy and legislation review that involves and is supported by multiple stakeholders. We also recommend the need for routine policy and legislation reviews in order to take advantage of cutting-edge solutions to water management issues. This will not only enhance general awareness of key environmental policies and legislation but benefit from coordinated efforts from various players to arrest the ongoing environmental degradation resulting from an incoherent policy and apathy from Malawians.


Line differential protection is popular for its good selectivity and simplicity as long as there is a dependable communication system between the two ends of the line. However, the sensitivity needs to be compromised when the traditional line differential scheme is applied for ultra-high voltage (UHV)-alternating current lines because of the large charging current. A study of the impact of the UHV transmission line characteristics on line differential protection and a proposed solution based on the compensation of the phase shift that exists between the sending and receiving end currents are presented.


Introduction Amantadine hydrochloride has been investigated as an antiviral agent against A2 influenza (Togo et al., 19(8). Following the chance discovery of its action in a patient with Parkinson's disease, improvement was confirmed in the majority of Hi3 patients with this syndrome who were treated with amantadine (Schwab et al., I !J()!) . Since then controlled trials (Parkes et al., 1970; Fieschi et al., 1970) have shown significant benefit from amantadine, although Hunter et al. (1970) found only a small beneficial effect on physical signs and no significant effect on functional disability. In these trials side-effects have not proved serious, and the dose has been fairly constant. These are practical advantages for the use of a drug in the outpatient managemcnt of Parkinson's disease, especially in view of the variable dose and relative frequency of side-effects seen with L-dopa. A further assessmcnr of amantadine seem ed indicated, with a longer period of follow-up than in the initial trials.


To evaluate the potential for bioremediation of various isomers of benzene hexachloride (BHC) including lindane (gamma BHC)-contaminated groundwater, a bench-scale study was conducted using site groundwater and soil collected from a chemical manufacturing facility located in southwest Missouri. Three soil columns were prepared to evaluate various conditions under which contaminant biodegredation is known to occur: Column 1 (the hydrogen peroxide and nutrient column) received site groundwater, hydrogen peroxide (an oxygen source to promote aerobic conditions) and ammonium polyphosphate (nutrients); Column 2 received site groundwater, nutrients and sodium sulfite (a reductant to promote anaerobic conditions); and Column 3 received the same amendments as Column 1 but under sterile conditions. Column 3 was used to evaluate abiotic losses of contaminants. The indigenous soil and/or groundwater microbial population removed more than 99 percent of the BHC isomers present in the hydrogen peroxide and nutrient column influent in 24 hours. Abiotic losses of contaminants were less than 20 percent after initial column exchanges based on the results of sterile column data. Anaerobic conditions were not as conducive to contaminant degradation. During the 24-hour exchange periods, less than 80 percent BHC removal was observed in the groundwater effluents from the anaerobic column.


The PEEC method has been extensively used to model electromagnetic problems in power electronic systems. It is commonly used for modelling electrical parasitics (e.g. inductance) in busbars but less widely used to model magnetic components (e.g. transformers/inductors). Although an extension of PEEC method exists to include magnetic and dielectric materials, less is published on its use for modelling high permeability magnetic cores with small or no airgap. This case is extremely difficult to accurately model due to the increasing condition number of the magnetic coupling matrix. In this work we demonstrate the difficulty of applying standard PEEC method to typical high permeability magnetic cores and evaluate a modified PEEC method which partially overcomes this problem by increasing the order of the basis functions used to approximate magnetic fields within mesh cells.


Objective To observe the protective effects of Youshi capsules on the flash electroretinogram(F-ERG) of rabbits under artificial acute intraocular hypertension.Methods Eighteen rabbit eyes were used to establish an animal model of acute intraocular hypertension.The rabbit eyes were then randomly divided into 3 groups,each consisting of 6 eyes:a model group,a low dosage group and a high dosage group.These groups were compared to another group of 18 normal eyes.One week before inducing hypertension and 3 days after the models were established,Youshi capsules were irrigated into the stomach.Then intraocular pressure(IOP),FERG b-waves and oscillatory potentials(OPs) were measured during the experiment.Results The amplitudes of the b-waves and the amplitudes and peak latencies of the OPs were recorded just after the model was established and were found to be more or less abnormal due to intraocular hypertension,which were recorded just after the model was established.The average IOP was above 6.83 kPa and was maintained for 3 days.Youshi capsules shortened the prolonged peak latencies of OPs and the recovery of the amplitudes of the b-waves and OPs.Conclusion Youshi capsules might prevent damage and improve the visual function of rabbits that have artificial acute intraocular hypertension.


In this paper, we study temporal graphs arising from mobility models where some agents move in a space and where edges appear each time two agents meet. We propose a rather natural one-dimensional model. If each pair of agents meets exactly once, we get a temporal clique where each possible edge appears exactly once. By ordering the edges according to meeting times, we get a subset of the temporal cliques. We introduce the first notion of of forbidden patterns in temporal graphs, which leads to a characterization of this class of graphs. We provide, thanks to classical combinatorial results, the number of such cliques for a given number of agents. We consider specific cases where some of the nodes are frozen, and again provide a characterization by forbidden patterns. We give a forbidden pattern when we allow multiple crossings between agents, and leave open the question of a characterization in this situation.


Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and antigenic peptide complex, and they play a crucial role in cancer immunity. Our recent study revealed that HLA class I downregulation is related to poorer prognosis and a low level of intratumoral CTLs is associated with platinum resistance, indicating the significance of immunological surveillance.


In this study, the Quintic B-spline Differential Quadrature method (QBDQM) is applied to find the numerical solution of the modified Burgers' equation (MBE). The efficiency and accuracy of the method are measured by calculating the maximum error norm L∞ and the discrete root mean square error L2. The obtained numerical results are compared with published numerical results and the comparison shows that the method is an effective numerical scheme to solve the MBE. A rate of convergence analysis is also given.


The invention discloses a music switching method and a system of a mobile terminal. A display screen of the mobile terminal is a touch screen, and a front-facing camera and a proximity sensor are arranged on the touch screen. The method comprises the following steps: a. corresponding music switching rules of a sequential order that a finger gets close to the front-facing camera and the proximity sensor of a user are set; b. whether the finger is close to the front-facing camera and the proximity sensor or not is detected in real time; c. the sequential order that the finger gets close to the front-facing camera and the proximity sensor of the user is obtained; and d. the music switching rules are matched according to order that the finger gets closes so as to conduct the music switching. Compared with the prior art, moving direction of the finger of the user is detected through the front-facing camera and the proximity sensor, and therefore a user wearing a glove is capable of switching and playing and pausing music rapidly and conveniently. Misoperation can be prevented effectively due to arrangement of range of closing time difference.


The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting a cleanup of radiologically contaminated properties under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). The largest cost element for most of the FUSRAP sites is the transportation and disposal of contaminated soil. Project managers and engineers need an estimate of the volume of contaminated soil to determine project costs and schedule. Once excavation activities begin and additional remedial action data are collected, the actual quantity of contaminated soil often deviates from the original estimate, resulting in cost and schedule impacts to the project. The project costs and schedule need to be frequently updated by tracking the actual quantities of excavated soil and contaminated soil remaining during the life of a remedial action project. A soil volume estimate tracking methodology was developed to provide a mechanism for project managers and engineers to create better project controls of costs and schedule. For the FUSRAP Linde site, an estimate of the initial volume of in situ soil above the specified cleanup guidelines was calculated on the basis of discrete soil sample data and other relevant data using indicator geostatistical techniques combined with Bayesian analysis. During the remedial action, updated volume estimates of remaining in situ soils requiring excavation were calculated on a periodic basis. In addition to taking into account the volume of soil that had been excavated, the updated volume estimates incorporated both new gamma walkover surveys and discrete sample data collected as part of the remedial action. A civil survey company provided periodic estimates of actual in situ excavated soil volumes. By using the results from the civil survey of actual in situ volumes excavated and the updated estimate of the remaining volume of contaminated soil requiring excavation, the USACE Buffalo District was able to forecast and update project costs and schedule. The soil volume tracking methodology helped the USACE Buffalo District track soil quantity changes from projected excavation work over time and across space, providing the basis for an explanation of some of the project cost and schedule variances.


Dietary fibre is believed to have many health benefits (1) but confirming its associations with reduction in risk of chronic diseases is difficult as different fibres have a variety of possible actions including the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) during colonic fermentation. There are also several fermentable substrates that have not been included in dietary fibre estimates for epidemiological studies. Thus developing methods to estimate fermentable carbohydrates in the diet would aid better characterisation of the impact of fermentation on health. Using evidence in the literature we developed several possible equations to estimate the amount of potential fermented carbohydrate in the diet and tested these against SCFA measured in the urine of 122 healthy subjects on their normal diet. Equations to estimate fermentable carbohydrate (FC) were based on content of dietary fibre (DF) and non-starch polysaccharide (NSP), a proportion of total starch (TS) and nondigestible oligosaccharide content. These were then applied to 3 day weighed dietary records using data from food tables and other published sources. These values were correlated with the SCFA concentrations in 24 hour urine collections measured by GC-MS. The relationships were examined for 78 subjects after excluding those who were shown to be under-reporting dietary intake using a physical activity level cut-off of 1·2. The Spearman correlation coefficient (r) and significance (p) values for the correlations with urinary acetate are shown in Table 1 for dietary fibre (AOAC 991·43 method) and NSP and for two corresponding equations, one including no insoluble fibre and the other 50% insoluble fibre (Figure 1). There was no significant relationship with the other SCFA.


The increase of insecticide resistance in pests, especially in Myzus persicae, leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the regulation mechanisms previously used in agriculture. This effect, combined with the progressive withdrawal of authorized phytosanitary products, shows the need for a paradigm shift in the design of new agrosystems. The development of these new systems is based on alternative strategies using multiple solutions. Companion plants (CP) fit perfectly into this framework of development of new control strategies against Myzus persicae, inducing effects that can be grouped into two main categories: direct and indirect. The first type can act on the detection and attractiveness of the crop, by diverting the pest from areas of economic interest to trap crops, or by limiting its movement in the economic crops. A disruption of the development cycle or a decrease in virus transmission can also be induced by CP. Indirect effects act through intermediaries to regulate this pest, notably by attracting natural enemies and their perpetuation in the crops, or by modifying the metabolism of the crop plant. Although some limitations are still present and require more studies to reduce the variability of the observed responses, CP and the products derived from them are one of the promising tools, opening new possibilities for the management of this pest. Research on the integration of all these tools and the potentiation of their combined effects seems particularly promising to overcome individual limitations and constraints and to obtain a more constant efficiency in the crops.

In order to examine the dynamics characteristic of cavitation bubble in terms of different dynamics parameter of radius and volume respectively. So we consider the dynamics factor of viscosity, the surface tension, the vapour pressure and the adiabatic compress. To use the Gear Stiff algorithm to simulate the famous traditional Rayleigh-Plesset equation in terms of radius frame and use the Runge-Kutta algorithm to simulate the Rayleigh-Plesset equation in terms of volume frame derived by T. G. Leighton according to the Navier-Stokes equation and other conditions. Based above conditions, we discuss the influence of different simulation modeling dynamics characteristic by change the ultrasonic pressure amplitude, bubble radius or volume and ultrasonic frequency. The simulation research of the two different dynamics parameter of Rayleigh-Plesset modeling indicate that the results have the resemble variety tendency and the two model may be used to research the ultrasonic cavitation bubble dynamics. The results also supply the different research ways of cavitation bubble dynamics and the theory base of practice engineer applications of ultrasonic cavitation effect.


Every incidence structure, such as a design, a geometry or partial geometry, has a representation as a binary matrix which describes how the components of the given structure relate to each other with respect to an incidence relation. Such matrices, if sparse, provide suitable parity check matrices for LDPC codes. There are numerous examples of randomly generated LDPC codes which give excellent performance using iterative decoding algorithms, but often we have no way of predicting many invariants of the code, such as the code's minimum distance etc. On the other hand, families of codes for a given construction are frequently easier to describe. For example, an LDPC code constructed from a Steiner system is guaranteed to have no 4-cycles, a desirable feature for the implementation of the sum-product algorithm, while a Steiner triple system has minimum distance at most 10 indicating that such codes would only be useful for short block lengths. In this talk we outline some general constructions of LDPC codes from incidence structures, indicating how their properties can be described in terms of the underlying structure.


Network Management can be defined as the deployment, integration, and coordination of hardware, software, and human elements to monitor, analyze, evaluate, and control network resources, in order to meet the operational performance and Quality of Service requirements in a network [88]. It includes the ability to monitor and gather data from various distributed network entities, and utilize this information for the purpose of maintaining network performance. Network management includes performance management, fault management, and network configuration and accounting.
Wireless Mesh Networks are multi-hop wireless networks that have become increasingly prevalent over the last few years. They are being applied to an increasing number of applications ranging from municipal and enterprise networks to wildlife monitoring. However, apart from the usual intricacies involved in a wireless network, wireless mesh networks involve data transfer over multiple wireless hops, which adds to the complexity of maintaining network performance. The increased deployment and popularity of wireless mesh networks calls for new and effective management schemes to be in place, for the efficient working of the network.
As part of our research, we adapt a novel approach to designing and implementing network management schemes for wireless mesh networks. Our novel design involves measurement-based schemes that incorporate the current status of the mesh network into the decision making process. Such an approach provides significant advantages over the more prevalent model-based schemes. Our novel implementation involves using efficient monitoring techniques in order to measure the necessary parameters for our measurement-based schemes. We implement a variety of passive monitoring modules that help us minimize monitoring-related overheads.
We focus on three core areas within network management as part of this dissertation. We first investigate the aspect of efficient monitoring in wireless mesh networks. This study is a crucial first step in our research, as it enables us to identify the impact of network monitoring overheads on end user traffic. The second aspect of network management that we study is that of resource control. Based on the inferences from our previous study, we implement passive monitoring modules in order to measure various network parameters. We implement an admission control scheme, based on end-to-end delay as the design metric, which helps us in regulating the amount of traffic in the network. We also implement an association control scheme that utilizes available bandwidth as the design metric. This scheme enables end users to make an intelligent access point selection decision. We demonstrate the advantages of these approaches in terms of achieving better network performance, and enabling effective resource control and provisioning. Lastly, we consider the problem of fault diagnosis in wireless networks, which also falls under the realm of network management. We design and implement a novel framework wherein unique signatures are maintained for different network faults. These signatures help us identify the occurrence of a particular fault in the network, and also enable us to distinguish faults from each other, or from legitimate network events.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a rubber composition for hoses, which has good oil resistance and also has excellent cold resistance and workability during production thereof; and a hydraulic hose. For solving the problem, the present invention is characterized by comprising, as rubber components, (A) an acrylonitrile butadiene rubber having an acrylonitrile content of less than 26% and (B) an acrylonitrile butadiene rubber having an acrylonitrile content of 26% or more, wherein the ratio of the mass of the acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (A) to the mass of the acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (B) is 15:85 to 45:55.


In-memory memory mechanisms become the new trend for multiple high-performance systems such as Database and Real-time processing systems. With the proliferation of social networks and mobile multimedia applications, Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) search has become even more demanding as it needs to maintain high search accuracy over a massive amount of multimedia content. To achieve a high search accuracy, ANN search framework focus on two main process: i) the efficient index/storage ii) the similarity search. An approximate media storm indexing mechanism was introduced to handle fast incoming images. This mechanism indexes the new descriptor vectors however it does not provide parallelization while indexing new descriptors. Also this mechanism provides high latency and high CPU issue while performing ANN search since multiple duplicate images will be indexed. Hence in the proposed method, the approximate media storm indexing mechanism utilizes the Map Reduce paradigm to parallelize the sequential indexing mechanism by indexing the images in a non-complex data structure and eliminate the duplicate indexing in the database. The query image is processed and retrieved with existing images using Euclidean and Manhattan distance method thus reducing the I/O latency while performing image search and retrieval.


Aims: To compare the quality and duration of post operative analgesia, hemodynamic changes and peri operative complications, the total number of rescue analgesic doses required post operatively and the degree and duration of sedation in each group. Settings and Design: Randomised Double Blinded study. Material and Methods: 60 children of ASA I and II, aged 2-10 years, undergoing elective infra-umbilical surgeries were randomly allocated to group A(n=30) (0.25% plain bupivacaine 1ml/kg + 1 ml Normal Saline) and Group B(n=30) (0.25% plain bupivacaine 1ml/kg + 1μg/kg clonidine + 1 ml Normal Saline). Post operative pain, duration of analgesia, time of first rescue analgesic, total number of rescue analgesic doses, hemodynamic changes, complications and sedation were recorded. Statistical analysis used: Student's t-test Results: The duration of analgesia in the post operative period was more in Group B (9.98±0.86)Hrs as compared to Group A(4.3±1.12)Hrs.100% patients in Group A required two or more than two rescue analgesic within 12 hrs whereas in Group B 83% patients required single rescue analgesic and 17% required two rescue analgesic, respectively. The mean sedation scores were higher in Group B as compared to Group A. Conclusion: Addition of clonidine 1μg/kg to bupivacaine (0.25%) 1ml/kg for caudal block prolong the duration of analgesia in children. Key-words: Paediatric patient, Post operative analgesia, Caudal block, Bupivacaine and Clonidine.


Efficient implementation of monitors and exceptions is crucial for the performance of Java. One implementation of threads showed a factor of 30 difference in runtime on some benchmark programs. This paper describes an efficient implementation of monitors for Java as used in the CACAO just-in-time compiler. With this implementation the thread overhead is less than 40% for typical application programs and can be completely eliminated for some applications. This paper also gives the implementation details of the new exception handling scheme in CACAO. The new approach reduces the size of the generated native code by a half and allows null pointers to be checked by hardware. By using these techniques, the CACAO system has become the fastest JavaVM implementation for the Alpha processor. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.


Since the most widespread limiting factor in agricultural production is water stress, a two year field experiment was carried out in Karaj, Iran during 2008 to 2010 growing seasons to assess the effect of water stress on yield and yield components of spring rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cultivars in winter planting to find the most tolerant cultivars. The experiments was laid out in a four-replicatedrandomized complete block, split plot design with two irrigation levels (I: I1= irrigation on the basis of 80 ml evaporation from the class A pan (normal irrigation) and I2= interruption of irrigation from the flowering stage (water stress) as the main plot) and cultivar including C1: RGS 003, C2: Amica, C3: Sarigol, C4: Option 500, C5: Hyola 401, C6: Hyola 42, C7: Hyola 60, C8: Hyola 420, C9: Hyola 330, C10: Hyola 308, C11: Kimberly, C12: RGS 006, C13: 19-H, C14: Syn-3, C15: PR-401/16, C16: PP-401/15E, C17: PP 308/8, C18: PP 308/3, C19: ORS 3150-3006, C20: ORS 3150-3008, C21: RG 4403, C22: RG 405/03, C23: RGAS 0324 and C24: RG 405/02 as subplot. The results of combined analysis of two years revealed that under normal irrigation condition ORS 3150-3008 and under water stress condition RG 405/03 cultivars produced the highest seed yield by average of 2285 and 1544 kg ha -1 , respectively.


OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between intubation of general anesthesia and lower respiratory tract infection.METHODS Totally 947 cases were divided into bronchial intubation group(groupⅠ,541 cases) and(tracheal) intubation group(groupⅡ,406 cases) for a retrospective analysis about lower respiratory tract(infection).The(sputum) samples of(infected) patients were took germiculture and antibiotic susceptibility.RESULTS There were 26 cases arisen lower respiratory tract infection in group Ⅰ and there were 18 in group Ⅱ.The(incidence) was 4.81% and 4.43%,respectively.86.36% pathogens of sputum samples were non-zymophytes,it was a direct proportion between high(antimicrobial) resistance rate and lower respiratory tract infection rate.The infection rate of 60-70 years old and under 49 years patients was 9.56% and 2.04%,respectively.The infection rate of(patients) undergoing anesthesia less 3h and over 3h was 3.26% and 6.14%,respectively,with significant(differences)(P0.05).CONCLUSIONS The(incidences) of lower respiratory tract infection in the patients suffering from tracheal intubation and bronchial(intubation) are very equal.The major risk factors which increase the(incidences) of lung infection are antimicrobial resistance,age and anesthesia time.


Background and objective: Colorectal cancer is a multi-factorial disease process, with etiology encompassing genetic factors, environmental exposures, and inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract. This study aimed to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of CDX2 as well as clinical and histopathological parameters of patients with colorectal cancer in Erbil, Kurdistan.
Methods: A retrospective study including about 100 colorectal cancer cases in Erbil city, Kurdistan was conducted from January 2015 to January 2017. Tumor type, site, size, histological grade, lymph node status, and pathological stage with CDX2 expression were investigated.
Results: CDX2 was expressed in 86 out of 100 (86%) patients. It was more expressed (focal or diffuse staining) in nonmucinous carcinoma more than signet ring and mucinous carcinoma. Loss of CDX2 expression in colorectal cancer is associated with a high tumor grade and stage. Significant associations between CDX2 expression with both tumor type and tumor grade were observed. Although CDX2 expression was found to be reduced in proximal location (right colon) and higher stage, however, no significant associations between CDX2 expressions in colorectal cancer were detected with tumor site, nodal status, and tumor stage.
Conclusion: Reduced and loss CDX2 expression in colorectal cancer associated with high tumor grades as well as with the mucinous and signet ring cell carcinomas may reflect aggressive tumor behavior probably because of the CDX2 tumor-inhibitory properties. However, the full extent of CDX2's antitumor effects has yet to be elucidated.


A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with inguinal lymphadenopathy, pancytopenia and disseminated cutaneous lesions composed of multiple macules and nodules (Picture 1). Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scans showed multiple areas of high FDG accumulation corresponding to the cutaneous nodules and inguinal lymphadenopathy and sites in the spleen and bone marrow (Picture 2). Bone marrow aspiration revealed medium to large


Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the most recently described endothelium-derived vasodilator. In the endothelium, H2S is predominantly produced by cystathionine ©-lyase (CSE). We and others have previously shown CSE inhibition diminishes acetylcholine (ACh)-induced dilation in aortic ring segments. However, ACh regulation of CSE is not well-defined. The goal of this study was to identify endogenous regulators of CSE in aortic endothelial cells. Previous reports show that [Ca2+] regulates CSE activity. However, previous studies were conducted using 1–2 mM [Ca2+] and purified CSE. Because normal intracellular [Ca2+] is 100 nM to 3 μM and activity of purified enzymes may not reflect in vivo activity, it is necessary to verify regulation of endogenous CSE with physiological [Ca2+]. Thus, we hypothesized that ACh-induced increases in intracellular [Ca2+] elevates CSE production of H2S. Rat aortic endothelial cells (passage 5–6) were loaded with the H2S fluorescence indicator, sulfide fluor-7 acetoxymethylester (SF7-A...


The invention provides an aircraft tire with a double-steel-ring structure mainly consisting of a tire tread, an outer steel ring, a binder, a tire body and a steel wire ring. The tire tread, the outer steel ring, the tire body and the steel wire ring are coated from outside to inside to form the tire, and the belted layer structure of a meridian aircraft tire is omitted.

The object of this research is an interaction between public and government within the Russian regional policy, and the subject is the essence and content of social partnership as an integrated (value-normative, institutional and communicative) phenomenon that forms a co-development model in the interaction between public and government of regional societies. The authors analyze the historical tradition, continuity and novelty in the understanding of partnership interaction, as well as substantively characterize the current state of social partnership in The Russian Federation, and also indicate the prospects for its development based on materials of sociological research and expert polls in Russian regions. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work was made by domestic and foreign studies of political scientists, sociologists and lawyers. The work uses ideological (phenomenological, sociocultural, systemic, etc.), general scientific (analysis, synthesis, analogy, etc.), as well as specific scientific (historical and political method, political modeling method) approaches and methods. The empirical basis of the research was sociological studies and expert surveys conducted in the regions of the Russian Federation. The authors argue that social partnership should be analyzed in three interrelated aspects: value (axiological), institutional (level of organization of social institutions and their interaction) and technological (level of socio-political forms of activity and specific practices). The work shows a positive trend in the regional socio-political consciousness, what is associated with an awareness of the importance and responsibility of all the subjects of the interaction between public and government in solving various problems of the development of a regional socio-economic and political space.


Nickel acetylacetonate catalyses the methylation of ketones to methyl carbinolates by trimethyl-aluminium. Concurrently it also catalyses other reactions of trimethylaluminium with ketones. Most notable of these is the gem-dimethylation of acetophenone to t-butylbenzene; a few aryl ketones undergo similar gem-dimethylation, and p-acetoxyacetophenone gives p-t-butylphenyl acetate. Several other nickel compounds are effective. A mechanism for the catalysis is suggested which involves oxidative addition of trimethylaluminium to zerovalent nickel.


Electronic properties of the Ge strained layers (3 mono layers from 24 atoms on the cell) on (001) Si film (2 mono layers from 16 atoms on the cell) and the set of Ge pyramidal islands (3 mono layers from 7 atoms on the cell) on Si film are investigated by our computer program package based on the density functional theory and psevdopotential to obtain quantum – mechanical ground state electronic configuration. These atom systems are participants of the process of the conversion from the 2D epitaxial growth of the strained heterostructures to the 3D nano islands growth. As a result studies it was appeared significant space localization of the electronic density in the Ge islands as compared with the Ge continuous strained film. So the facts are as follows the trace of electronic density is still observed on the distance of 3,6 Å from the surface of the Ge film whereas this distance from the Ge islands top is only 2,4 Å. As for the electronic energy spectrum for the set of Ge islands on Si film the valence bands overlap and their top falls.


The present paper is the second part of the studies on the residual effects of wallstreated with DDT and BHC suspensions in experimental huts on the three most im-portant anophelines of China, A. sinensis Wied., A. jeyporiensis candidiensis Koid. andA. minimus Theob. It deals with the effects of these treatments on the activities of theabove mentioned species of mosquitoes, as it is one of the important phases in the resi-dual-spray studies. With the exception of the first few days or a short period after treatment, DDTsuspension had no influence on the entry of the hungry mosquitoes, nor any notable effecton the feeding activities of A. sinensis as it took active blood feeding as early as thefirst night after treatment. The proportion of fed females of the other two species, A.jeyporiensis candidiensis and A. minimus, in the hut was somewhat lowered, but over60% of mosquitoes entered were found to be engorged in the next morning. BHC suspension, however, showed a marked repellent effect on the entry of hungryanophelines, though such effect only lasted 3--4 weeks after treatment. In the BHC-treated huts, the feeding activities of all three species, showed no significant change ex-cept in the first two weeks. Both DDT and BHC treatments exerted a marked irritant effect on the mosquitoesand caused the surviving mosquitoes to leave the huts before dawn. It therefore becomesobvious that the day-time catches in the treated houses, often wrongly used to in-dicate the degree of effectiveness of the treatment, does not necessarily represent the truereduction rate of the mosquito population in general of the area under control. Since the exodus of surviving mosquitoes from the treated huts is mainly due to apositive phototropic response after being in contact with the insecticides, the so-called"exciting-repellent effect" or "distant-repellent effect" as commonly used to describe thephenomenon, does not seem to be appropriate. Owing to the above mentioned behavior of mosquitoes in the treated huts, the useof sufficient dosage in the residual spray campaign should be emphasized in order toensure effective mosquito control.

The spectral algorithm for simulation of circuits can be divided into the following steps: linearize circuit equations with the use of the Newton-Kantorovich approach, substitute Chebyshev expansions (for all variables) to linearized equations, construct the equations for the expansion coefficients, solve the resulting equations, evaluate the variables (i.e. perform inverse Chebyshev transformations) needed in monitoring convergence and reiterate if convergence is not achieved. The algorithm was implemented in the form of a prototype program to test its basic features. The results of testing were positive and it was decided to begin work on development of a simulator. The simulator is coded in C++ and its prototype version called "SPEC" is near completion.


The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic presented the world with many new challenges such as rapid and accurate diagnosis of infected individuals. RT-PCR has become the gold standard in COVID-19 diagnostics, but its limitations are: long turnaround time and the need to be conducted by specialized staff. The need for rapid and easy-to-use diagnostic tests led to the development of ID NOW — a rapid molecular test that provides a COVID-19 diagnosis in less than 15 minutes and can be performed by support staff in point-of-care (POC) locations. It can also detect other infections with similar symptoms, such as influenza or RSV. Due to rapid differentiation between COVID-19 and other infections patients can be isolated quickly and hospital departments operate efficiently. In this publication we present the recommendations for the use of the diagnostic test ID NOW based on clinical research results and opinions of experts in different medical fields.


The article is devoted to the results of the study of international experience in regulating activities in the field of remote sensing of the Earth from space. The institutional and legal approaches of a number of countries and regional associations with a developed remote sensing sector are considered. The purpose is to identify models of regulation and experience useful for russian context. The source base consisted of more than 100 official documents (normative legal acts, strategies, programs, official reports, other materials), as well as academic publications related to the issue under consideration. General scientific research methods, content analysis, formal legal analysis, and comparative legal approaches were used to solve the research tasks. Summary information (on the main regulatory legal acts and institutions regulating remote sensing, features of licensing procedures, approaches to the storage and dissemination of remote sensing data) is presented in tabular form. Authors consider the approaches of states to remote sensing regulation can be described by a limited number of core models (three legal models, two institutional approaches), but international practice differs in a wide variety of details that reflect the specifics of the national context. Authors found the essential similarity of approaches to the regulation of space activities of the two space powers – the Russian Federation and the United States, so the analysis of American failures with the privatization of remote sensing in the late 1970s and 1980s can be useful in determining the ways of development and commercialization of this sector in Russia. The relevance of attention to the international practice of remote sensing regulation is justified by the importance of creating favorable legal mode for the development of this sector in Russia facing the challenges of rapid growth of the market for active Earth observation from space, as well as sharp expansion in the number of users and applications of remote sensing data.

The aim the article is to study the model of coexistence of different languages in the multicultural environment of Ukraine and EU countries (the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Italy). Methods. Testing was conducted using the Communicative Attitudes Technique. The degree of satisfaction with the environment was studied. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson's correlation coefficient. Reliability analysis was performed using Cronbach's alpha. Results. The adaptability of EU citizens was found to be significantly higher than that of the residents of Ukraine (t=13.24; p < 0.001). The indicators of EU citizens are higher than those of Ukrainians (p<0.001) on a number of qualitative characteristics of adaptability: self-acceptance (t=21.84), acceptance of others (t=4.01), emotional comfort (t=4.49), internal control (t=33.74), external control (t=8.12); consciousness (t=2.58 at p<0.05). Conclusions. The obtained results give grounds to state a high level of communicative tolerance in the multicultural environment. This indicates the existence of effective models of multilingualism both in Ukraine and in the EU countries. Prospects. Further research may focus on identifying universal languages as communicative tools both in Ukraine and in EU countries.
