Background: Fireworks are traditionally used by various cultures or groups for celebrations. Estimated 10,000 to 12,600 people are injured because of fireworks in America every year. The type of fireworks that cause the highest injury is firecrackers with the incidence rate of 30% to 67% of all cases of injury due to fireworks. Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world and firecrackers are often used to welcome Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. This study aimed to report the Clinical profile of patients with manus fracture caused by firecracker blast. Case Presentation: The case study was taken from patients of Karima Utama Surgical Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia, during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr (from May 14 to June 15) 2018. A total of 36 patients were fractured due to firework explosions recorded in medical records during that period. Data such as gender, age and fracture diagnosis were collected in this study. Results: Males have a higher prevalence of 28 (78%) than female 8 (22%), with the highest group age between 11 to 20 years with 11 cases (31%) and more than 60 years being the lowest age group with 2 (6 %) cases of a total of 36 respondents. The right hand as the dominant hand has an injury incidence rate of 31 (86%) compared to the left hand 5 (14%) and more often occurs single fracture 22 (61%) compared to multiple fractures 14 (39%) including the amputated phalanx. Conclusion: Our study showed 36 patients had fractures of the manus due to firecrackers, with the majority of male victims 28 (78%) and single manus fractures 22 (61%) with the right-hand dominance at the age between 11 to 20 years.

Remuneration of Inmates protects the legitimate rights and interests of inmates and ensures labor value of inmates.However,there are no enforcement regulations in the Prison Law.There are standardization of remuneration of inmates in foreign countries,however,prisons in our countries has no standard on this issue.Therefore,remuneration of inmates should be standardized,through the comparison with social labors from definition and development course as well as practice of remuneration of inmates in different provinces.


Phthalylsulphathiazole (PST) is a biologically acti ve, monodendate neutral ligand. The present study r eveals the microwave assisted preparation, physico-chemical, spectral and biological characterization of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with PST and benzoate ion (ben) l igands. The molecular formulae of the complexes wer e arrived at from the estimation of metals, electrical conduc tivity, and magnetic moment (μ eff) values. The IR spectral data confirm the entry of the ligands into the coordinat on sphere. The electronic spectral data indicate t h probable geometry of the complexes. The antimicrobial and an ti fu gal screening of the complexes against the ba cteria viz., Staphylococcus sp., Escherichia coli, Proteus vulga ris, Shigella flexneri and Lactobacillus pulgaricus and fungi viz., Candida albicans, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and A spergillus sojae were carried out by well diffusion method. The results indicate that Ni(II) complex exhibits enhanced antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Shigell a flexneri and Lactobacillus pulgaricus than the pu re ligands. Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes have high antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus sp. All the comple xes show high anti fungal activity against Candida albicans, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus sojae. The diphenylpicrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity of the above three comp lexes are found to be nominal.


Motivation: Accurate data analysis and quality control is critical for metagenomic studies. Though many tools exist to analyze metagenomic data there is no consistent framework to integrate and run these tools across projects. Currently, computational analysis of metagenomes is time consuming, often misses potentially interesting results, and is difficult to reproduce. Further, comparison between metagenomic studies is hampered by inconsistencies in tools and databases.
Results: We present the MetaSUB Core Analysis Pipeline (CAP) a comprehensive tool to analyze metagenomes and summarize the results of a project. The CAP is designed in a bottom up fashion to perform QC, preprocessing, analysis and even to build relevant databases and install necessary tools.
Availability and Implementation: The CAP is available under an MIT License on GitHub at this https URL and on the Python Package Index. Documentation and examples are available on GitHub.


This paper examines issues concerning the development of broadband infrastructure in the region of five counties in Croatia that make up Slavonia and Baranja. It also examines the state of telecommunications in the region today and presents potential models of the development of a broadband network. A new "Slavonian model" of developing a broadband network has been proposed. In this model, new infrastructure investors are to be found among local administration units.


On the eve of its foundation in 1954, the Republic of Vietnam had five motorised fishing boats; 20 years later, that figure had swelled to over sixty thousand. This conversion to fossil fuels, along with associated developments like the intensified exploitation of marine ecologies and the use of new synthetic materials, form part of what has come to be called the 'Great Acceleration'. This article follows a Japanese fisheries expert who spent six years in Vietnam in the early 1960s to explore the physical and conceptual work this process entailed, its entanglement with projects of war-making and nation-building, and the way it was both a product of and producer of the collapse of local ecologies.


The article substantiates the relevance of such research direction as the study of problems of interaction with the parents of students. Postulating the existence of axiological crisis of the family and family relations in modern society, the crisis of family education, the authors examine some of the consequences of this crisis (complication of working with parents in general and a decrease in the activity of participation of parents in the educational process in particular) and as one of the possible solutions offer the appeal to the study of interaction with parents of students in the system of training teachers. The question of theoretical justification and experimental development of a modular program for teachers' professional development as a necessary condition for increasing the level of interaction with parents of students is raised. The leading method in the study of this problem was the method of designing the content of programs, structure of educational-thematic plan of teaching materials in the system of training teachers. The program "Modern approaches to family education and the organization of parental education" was supported and implemented under the grant of the Federal project "New opportunities for everyone" of the national project "Education" in 2019. The article presents the results of the research, the materials and practical tools, which can be used to build interaction with modern parents.


The temperature,organic matter,bulk weight and water content of different soil profile(0~40 cm) and different altitudinal gradients(2 500~3 100 m) in Picea crassifolia zonation were researched in Qilian Mountains.The results showed that soil temperature significantly decreased with the increasing of profile depth and the increaing of altitude gradients.In 0~10,10~20,20~40 cm soil layers,the contents of soil organic matter were(13.52±2.46)%,(11.12±1.43)% and(9.17±1.29)% respectively,while the variation coefficient were 18.2%,12.83% and 14.10% respectively.The content of soil organic matter decreased with the increasing of soil depth,but increased with the increasing of altitude.Soil bulk weight had an obviously increasing trend with soil vertical section and decreased gradually with the increasing of altitude.Soil water reduced gradually with soil depth increasing in 0~40 cm soil layer,and it showed a fluctuation change with altitude gradients changing.

study of a single tertiary-level centre between January 2013 and December 2015. Clinical data were gathered from the Division of Gynaecology and Obstetrics archive, University Medical Centre Ljubljana. Results A total of 366 patients were surgically treated with histologically verified endometrial carcinoma. Out of those, 66 were treated for high-risk endometrial cancer.; 27 with serous carcinoma, 22 with high-grade endometrioid carcinoma, 12 had carcinosarcomas, 3 had clear cell carcinomas, and two had dedifferentiated carcinomas. The surgical approach was divided between minimally invasive and open surgery; 35 cases were completed laparoscopically, 31 with open surgery, which included two conversions. There were ten cancer-related deaths in the laparoscopic arm and 17 in the open arm. There were no statistically significant differences between both arms. However, more advanced-stage disease (II-IVB) cases were in the open arm, 18 vs 15.


Studies have focused on enhancing flap viability using superoxide dismutase (SOD), but only a few used SOD from human origin, and most gave the compound systemically. We evaluated the ability of SOD to improve random skin flap survival using human recombinant copper‐zinc superoxide dismutase (Hr‐CuZnSOD) in variable doses, injected intradermally into the flap.


AIM To establish a new protocol for the determination of viral intranuclear inclusions with microdissection technique. METHODS Microdissection technique with micromanipulator under microscope, as well as subsequent DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction amplification methods, was employed. RESULTS Intranuclear inclusions with morphologic features of human cytomegarovirus in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded salivary gland tissue sections were separated from their surroundings by microdissection technique. Template DNA used for PCR was obtained from the dissected inclusions and the expected 149 bp fragments were amplified by PCR. CONCLUSION Microdissection technique can be used for the determination of viral intranuclear inclusions. A new protocol for the research of viral inclusion in molecular pathology has been established.


This paper is devoted to assessing effectiveness of verification of no-reference quality metrics. The analysis of the impact of image visual quality on accuracy of verification of quality metrics is carried out. The problem of estimating metrics adequacy for images with almost unnoticeable distortions is shown. Modifications of rank correlation coefficients are proposed to address this problem. The results are presented for several good particular quality metrics as well as the designed neural network based combined visual quality metric.


We demonstrate a simple approach to simultaneously convert four nonreturn-to-zero signals into return-to-zero format. Four-wave-mixing induced crosstalk in the multi-channel operation is suppressed using an orthogonal cross-phase modulation scheme in a nonlinear optical loop mirror.


Reproduction: One of the defining features of a marsupial is their pouch, but M. domestica is actually pouchless. The males induce estrus in the females, which is approximately a 28-day cycle. Short-tailed opossums will breed throughout the year in their tropical habitats. In captivity these reproductive cycles are often carefully controlled. Typically the females will have 8-14 young. The young are born only partially developed, and make their way to their mother's abdomen, where they secure themselves by holding on to her teats. When they are about 45 days old they will crawl up onto her back.


BACKGROUND
Due to the difficulty encountered in disseminating resource-intensive emergency department (ED)-based brief alcohol interventions into real-world settings, this study evaluated the effect of a mailed personalized feedback intervention for problem drinking ED patients. At 6-week follow-up, this intervention was associated with a statistically significant reduction in alcohol consumption among patients with alcohol-involved ED presentations. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of this intervention over time.

METHODS
A randomized controlled trial was conducted among problem drinking ED patients, defined as those scoring 8 or more on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Participants in the intervention group received mailed personalized feedback regarding their alcohol consumption. The control group received no feedback. Follow-up interviews were conducted over the phone, postal survey, or email survey 6 weeks and 6 months after baseline screening, and repeat ED presentations over 12-month follow-up were ascertained via linked ED records.

RESULTS
Six-month follow-up interviews were completed with 210 participants (69%), and linked ED records were obtained for 286 participants (94%). The intervention had no effect on alcohol consumption, while findings regarding alcohol-related injuries and repeat ED presentations remain inconclusive.

CONCLUSIONS
Further research in which the receipt of feedback is improved and a booster intervention is provided is recommended.


Based on field investigations, the sedimentary characteristics and horizontal correlation as well as two types of facies-changing surfaces and two types of diachronisms of the upper Sinian(Edicarian) for more than dozen main logged sections in the study area are comprehensively studied in this paper, all of them become the basis to establish the lithofacies palaeogeographic map of the Dengyingxia Ages of Sinian System in the light of dominant facies and in the way to make stratigraphic map. The feature of paleogeographical framework was that the southern formed in shallow water and the northern in deep water; the difference in lithology, color, grain type of the stratigraphic sediment-styles and the assemblages and the character of sediment-facies were all controlled by the sedimentary facies-changed and diachronism. Vertically, the stratigraphic succession from the dolomite of the Dengying Formation makes up of a larger scale upward-shoaling succession of sedimentary facies and demonstrates a growth process of the ramp carbonate platform. Horizontally, the principal lithofacies palaeogeographic units in the upper Yangtze region,i. e.carbonate tidal flat,subtidal facies of restricted platform and platform marginal facies as well as basin facies from the northern to the southern have been described. The stratabound lead—zinc deposits distributing between platform marginal facies and subtidal facies of restricted carbonate platform were dominated by the lithofacies palaeogeographic framework.


The purpose of this study was to analyze the ultimate strength of slab-column connections in the flat plate structure, using yield line theory. Equations for prediction of ultimate flexural or shear strength suggested by Johansen, Moe and Hognestad et al. were described. Thereafter, their applicability was evaluated by comparison with existing experimental data on the rectangular column-slab connections. The experimental data were presented 31 percent below computed flexural strength V flex . The ratio between tested and calculated ultimate shear strength proposed by Moe has a mean of 0.85 and if regard two-way loaded specimens the ratio nearly unity. Also, the ratio predicted by Park and Gamble's suggestion has a mean of 1.41 and the equation indicates lower bounded prediction for the distribution of experimental data.


In this paper, an indoor positioning system based on RSS is presented. Extended Kalman Filter is used to do position estimation. Groups of positioning results based on distinguished combination of reference units are discussed. Experiments show that more reference units used in one estimation process does not ensure better positioning results or higher accuracy. This is an useful guide to decide the deployed density of reference units and dynamically to choose which reference units are used therefore to improve position accuracy.


Recent advances in tablet computing technology have in some ways made tablet devices, such as the iPad, an attractive and viable alternative to the traditional notebook computer in and out of the classroom. Tablets are not only smaller and lighter than notebook computers, but typically employ capacitive touchscreen technology, which enables an unprecedented level of interactivity between user and device. The media-centric nature of the current crop of mobile devices also makes them potentially useful as teaching aids, both for classroom demonstration as well as for hands-on experimentation. The tablet's utility is further enhanced by wireless and/or mobile Internet connectivity, as well as an increasing amount of available third party software. Potential uses of a tablet computer in teaching acoustics will be discussed.


A detailed radiolarian biostratigraphy of pelagic sediments overlying basaltic extrusive lavas of the Oman Ophiolite is reported for the type locality of the Suhaylah Formation near the Wadi Jizzi River, northern Oman Mountains. The extrusive lavas in the studied section are classified as V1 lava produced by mid-ocean-ridge magmatism. The sedimentary succession in the type section (ca. 18 m thick) is subdivided into three units (in stratigraphic order): metalliferous sediments (Unit 1), red mudstone intercalated with radiolarian chert (Unit 2), and micritic limestone (Unit 3). The recovery of well-preserved radiolarians from all units led to the recognition of three distinctive assemblages: Assemblage A, obtained from metalliferous sediments and chert intercalations within red mudstone, could be correlated with the middle-late Cenomanian fauna; Assemblage B, recovered from red mudstone and chert, is assigned to the early Turonian, based on correlation with radiolarian occurrences across the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary; Assemblage C, recognized in micritic limestone, is broadly identified as Turonian-Coniacian. The age of the Suhaylah Formation has previously been interpreted as early Cenomanian to Coniacian-Santonian; however, the revised age could be from late Cenomanian to Turonian-Coniacian. The estimated possible maximum age of metalliferous sediments (96.5-93.9 Ma) is in good agreement with high-precision U-Pb zircon dates of ophiolite crust attributed to ridge magmatism. The depositional age of the pelagic sediments clearly indicates that the ridge magmatism had ended by ca. 95.5 Ma.


One of the difficulties of the irrigation management is determining the effective rainfall, that is, the water that is indeed available to the crops, due to the influence of the climatic factors and the soil characteristics, as the surface roughness, the composition and the amount of mulch. Objectifying the quantification of the interception and the water storage through mulching in an irrigated no-tillage crop system this work was conducted on a Ultisol in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil; in the agricultural year of 2013/2014 with Avena strigosa crop waste. The period of the evaluations was from 60 days, numbering nine events; in which three levels of mulch, (bare soil, 2 and 4 t ha-1 of dry matter - DM) under three irrigation levels (4, 8 e 16 mm) in a micro sprinkler system, with a bi-factorial distribution scheme in three repetitions. The water content in the mulching were quantified before, 3; 6 and 24 h after the irrigations, collecting the mulch, randomly in the experimental units, with the assistance of a sampling board of 0.09 m² and the content of water in the soil, with sensors FDR installed in depths 0.00-0.10; 0.10 -0.25; 0.25-0.55 e 0.55-0.85 m. The content of water in soil from different levels of mulch, which received 4mm of irrigation, didn't diverge, suggesting a bigger specification of the soil profile when small doses of irrigation are evaluated. In relation to the water in the mulch, it is observed that three hours after the irrigation, the mulch has the same content of water it had before the irrigation, not having difference between the two mulches levels in the whole period evaluated. The water interception through the mulch drifted from 0.5 to 1 mm, in the treatments 2 and 4 t ha-1 of DM, tending to reduce with time, considering the collections done thereupon the irrigations. The water interception through the mulch must be offset in an irrigation crop system in irrigated no-tillage, particularly as it is worked with low irrigation volume.


Methods for the analysis of group processes at the behavioral and content level of social interaction are demonstrated using group interactions in conflict situations. A conceptual framework for behavioral strategies in conflict interactions is presented. Index variables for these strategies are defined on the basis of sequential interaction patterns. An experimental study is conducted on how interaction strategies in conflict situations vary with aspects of group composition. Four groups with two male and two female members each were formed varying the dimensions "gender" and "attitudes toward the male and female gender role" (traditional versus progressive). The groups were given a discussion task in which the differences in attitudes create a conflict situation. An analysis of interaction strategies indicated a more pronounced polarization in subgroups in the first condition. A detailed single case study illustrates the diagnostic power of the analytic methods in revealing different strategies of conflict management.


Psychology quality is a critical ingredient of police qualities. As the cradle for training high-level police, it is very essential that the police colleges and universities improve the psychology quality education on undergraduates. Under the current circumstances, to establish the psychology quality file of undergraduates is an important measure for police colleges and universities to enhance the psychology quality education.

10 B application to leaves of various ages, there was significant 10 B export out of the treated leaves, and significant 10 B enrichment in nontreated adjacent organs, including inflorescences and fruit. Results demonstrated that B can be remobilized from leaves of various ages, and that foliar-applied B is phloem mobile in olive. Soluble carbohydrate analysis determined that mannitol and glucose are the predominant sugars in all organs analyzed and that the mannitol concentration in the leaves is adequate to account for all B transport. This is consistent with observations in other species, where the presence of mannitol is known to facilitate phloem B transport through formation of a mannitol-B complex. Previous reports have indicated that B application can alter carbohydrate metabolism. In the present study, foliar B application significantly suppressed glucose concentration in the leaf petioles of all ages and increased mannitol in petioles of the current-year-developed leaves. stages: during rapid inflorescence expansion (21 Apr.), 2 weeks before full bloom (6 May), and during rapid fruit growth (4 Aug.). Where B was used, it was applied to all leaves on each selected shoot/branch (described below). The distal 75% length of each leaf blade was immersed for 5 s in a 100 m M B solution supplied as 10 B-enriched boric acid (99.43% 10 B : 0.57% 11 B, Eagle Picher, Inc., Quapaw, Okla.). This approach was required to avoid contamination of the petiole with isotopically enriched B. The B solution contained 0.05% (v/v) L-77 (Loveland Industries Inc., Greeley, Colo.) as a surfactant and was adjusted to pH 5.5 with 0.1 mol·L –1 of NaOH. Care was taken not to contaminate nontreated plant parts, which included petioles, inflorescences, peduncles, and fruits, and which, along with treated leaves, were sampled for B analysis at 1, 5, and 15 d after the treatments were applied. BORON TRANSLOCATION FROM 1-YEAR-OLD LEAVES (EXPT. 1). To study 10 B disappearance from 1-year-old leaves (defined as mature fully developed leaves formed during the previous growing season, and subtending an inflorescence in their axes), 12 branches on each of five replicate trees were selected. Boron was applied to the leaves of six branches of each tree on 21 Apr., and the other six branches were used as controls. Each of the six branches was randomly assigned a number. For the first sampling, leaves were collected in such a way that for branches 1 and 4, leaf node positions 1 and 4 (counting from the basal) were sampled; for branch 2 and 5, leaf node positions 2 and 5 were sampled; for branch 3 and 6, leaf node positions 3 and 6 were sampled. For the second and third sampling, the leaf node position was varied accordingly to avoid systematic sampling error. Each sampling date replicate consisted of 24 leaves with four leaves from each branch.


Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with a dysregulation of the skin barrier and may predispose to the development of secondary allergic conditions, such as asthma. Tmem79ma/ma mice harbor a mutation in the gene encoding Transmembrane Protein 79 (or Mattrin), which has previously been associated with AD. As a result of the Tmem79 gene mutation, these mice have a defective skin barrier and develop spontaneous skin inflammation. In this study, Tmem79ma/ma mice were assessed for the underlying immunological response in the development of spontaneous skin and lung inflammation.


The present study aims to develop the understanding of technical-tactical situations for an effective development of the game, in this case, Hockey. Through the comparison between two situations of game: the formal game and game in (Mini-Hockey) in the "under 8" and "under 10" levels. Our objective is to verify if the reduction of field dimensions in these levels of formation, promotes a greater action in technical-tactical terms by these players, achieving a better understanding of the game. The method used was video recording of nine hockey games, five regular games and four mini-hockey games, and the data regarding of passes, shots and number of goals were recorded. We used statistical software SPSS version 20.0 where descriptive statistics, means and standard deviations, as well as non-parametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U test were used. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05, which allowed us to verify if there is statistical significance between the variables analyzed. In the five regular games were registered a total of 1214 passes, 229 shots and 54 goals. In the results of the mini-hockey games a total of 578 passes, 286 shots and 84 goals were recorded. With these results we may conclude that Mini-hockey promotes a greater technical-tactical action in these formation levels, with greater ball interaction, becoming an excellent teaching-learning stage for the formal 5x5 game in the field of official dimensions.


Abstract A series of spirocyclohexane-1,4′-pyrazolothiazepinones were synthesized by one-pot multicomponent cyclocondensation reactions between 5-amino-1-arylpyrazoles, cyclohexanone and mercaptoacetic acid with good yields and easy purification protocols. Some control experiments involving isolation of reaction intermediates were performed leading to the proposal of three alternative mechanistic pathways conducting to the named spiroheterocycles. All target molecules were fully characterized by IR, NMR, melting point and HRMS. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT


Rodents (mice) were rewarded for running over, but not for running under, an obstacle giving access to a final common path. On the basis of Deutsch's postulates it was predicted that the proportion of correct responses during test trials should depend upon the distribution of reinforcement during training trials; the proportion being high following block reinforcement, low following alternated reinforcement and intermediate in a procedure used by Sheldon. These predictions were upheld throughout testing in a maze with a long final path, but only held good for the early test trials in a shorter maze for which predictions are equivocal.


ABSTRACT Background Enhancing the precision of drug–drug interaction (DDI) prediction is essential for improving drug safety and efficacy. The aim is to identify the most effective fraction metabolized by CY3A4 (f m ) for improving DDI prediction using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. Research Design and Methods The f m values were determined for 33 approved drugs using a human liver microsome for in vitro measurements and the ADMET Predictor software for in silico predictions. Subsequently, these f m values were integrated into PBPK models using the GastroPlus platform. The PBPK models, combined with a ketoconazole model, were utilized to predict AUCR (AUCcombo with ketoconazole/AUCdosing alone), and the accuracy of these predictions was evaluated by comparison with observed AUCR. Results The integration of in vitro f m method demonstrates superior performance compared to the in silico f m method and f m of 100% method. Under the Guest-limits criteria, the integration of in vitro f m achieves an accuracy of 76%, while the in silico f m and f m of 100% methods achieve accuracies of 67% and 58%, respectively. Conclusions Our study highlights the importance of in vitro f m data to improve the accuracy of predicting DDIs and demonstrates the promising potential of in silico f m in predicting DDIs. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT


Cluster tools with a dual-arm wafer transport robot are common in semiconductor wafer manufacturing. However, existing modeling methods suffer either from computational complexity (e.g., Petri nets, detailed simulation) and the resulting dearth of insight or from simplicity and its attendant loss of accuracy and expression (e.g., Ax+B models). Looking toward application in tool configuration optimization, performance evaluation and fab-wide simulation models, we develop expressive and computationally tractable equations and recursions for the cycle time of such cluster tools. The models include transient periods and robot behavior to express nonlinearities in tool performance. The models incorporate the affinity of such tools toward lots with certain numbers of wafers. We conduct simulations of dual-arm cluster tools to assess the quality of our models and compare performance and computational complexity between various approximation methods.


Summary: In 45 patients suffering from secondary generalized epilepsy, we have recorded 239 drop seizures both by radio‐telemetered EEG/split‐screen video taping and poly‐graphically. Twenty of these patients had pure tonic drop seizures. Nine patients each had myoclonic‐atonic or pure atonic seizures, whereas seven had slow falls that occurred during gradually developing tonic or akinetic seizures. We term the pure tonic drop seizure "axial spasm." It consists of a uniform pattern of movement lasting from 0.5 to 0.8 s and leading to a specific bearing characterized by a moderate flexion of the hips, the upper trunk, and the head. The arms are almost always involved being abducted, elevated and in a semiflexed position. A fall is provoked by the rapidity and violence of the flexion in the hips. The spasms can occur independently (pure axial spasm) or in connection with other seizure manifestations (combined axial spasm). In pure spasms, no disturbance of consciousness and no significant EEG changes—apart from a slight attentuation—are seen. In the combined axial spasms, distinct epileptic phenomena, in close connection with the axial spasms, can be observed, appearing either in the postspasm phase or in both the pre‐ and the afterphases. The prephase consists always of an absence and spike‐and‐wave activity. The onset of the spasm coincides with the last generalized spike, which is followed by a biphasic high‐voltage slow wave. In the afterphases, various seizure patterns can be seen; quite characteristic are arrest states during which the patients are completely immobile and take up a postural‐like or athetoid position. Almost as frequent are absences or absence‐like states and tonic seizures. The afterphase can be compounded by two or three of these seizure patterns, the most common sequence of events in these cases being tonic—arrest state—absence. From the clinical and neurophysiological points of view, axial spasms can be regarded as a more mature form of infantile spasms. Clinical and experimental findings suppose a brainstem origin.


Abstract It is important to control the particle size distribution in the powder handling process, especially for dry process-because of the stickiness or agglomeration of powder, it becomes more difficult to classify and/or grind powder with a finer particle size distribution. In order to save energy and running costs, it is recommended to optimize the classification and grinding conditions. Using new classification and grinding technology, we discuss the improvement of the classification and grinding performance. This discussion includes closed loop grinding and classification systems, classification with improved dispersion mechanisms and other topics. The powder to be discussed in this paper is mainly toner.


The purpose of this essay is not to bring Lawrence and Freud together on the question of laughter (even though Freud did write on wit and the comic), nor to carry out a comparison between both authors. The intention is rather to read laughter in Women in Love having in mind what Freud wrote about "repression," "aggressiveness" and "dissolving bonds" in Civilization and its Discontent, in order to apprehend Lawrence's fictional laughter and mockery as symptoms of discontent. Reading laughter w...

The decision to vote and choosing among the candidates is an extremely important one with repercussions on everyday life by determining, in global mode, its quality for the whole society. Therefore the whole process by which the voter decides becomes a central concern. Prescribers, supposed to have a big influence on the electoral market, are a component of the microenvironment political organizations. These are people who occupy important positions that can influence the behavior of others. In the political environment, prescribers are known under the name of "opinion formers", "opinion leaders", "mediators" (Beciu, 2009) or "influencers" (Keller and Berry, 2003 Weimann, 1994).

Successful companies practice supply chain management and logistics management to reduce costs, increase their competitiveness and enhance operational efficiency. The logistics in modern business conditions coordinates and integrates the movement of materials and products from physical, organizational and information aspect. This research aims to analyze the impact of company's logistics management including transportation, warehousing, packaging, inventory and information management to the efficiency and effectiveness. Reducing cost of each logistics activity influences the total amount of costs and enhances company's performance. This paper determines and defines the logistics activities that are of key importance to the company's success. The empirical research is conducted on a sample of eighty examinees from eighty different companies in the Republic of Macedonia. The general hypothesis is fully validated and proven by the survey results. Adequate inventory, storage, warehousing, transport and information management are key targets for logistics managers in order to reduce the overall costs of the company. Findings include the confirmation of the necessity of logistics managers to optimally manage all logistics activities in order to gain increased business efficiency, customer satisfaction and competitiveness.

This article offers a theoretical framework for understanding journalistic expertise, based on a revision of Collins and Evans' model. While their model maintains that a small elite of experienced and diligent journalists can become "interactional experts" in the respective specializations of their news sources, the current paper suggests that experienced journalists develop different degrees of bipolar "interactional expertise," specializing in interactions with their sources on one hand and audiences on the other. The audience pole not only limits their expertise and fits it to the constraints of the news environment but also drives and legitimizes their focus on information that is simple and quick to obtain and convey and is ostensibly interesting and important for their audiences.


In this work we will theoretically study the ground-state electronic structure of three-electron polygonal quantum dots by means of the configuration interaction method. Transition from a weakly correlated regime to a strongly correlated regime is investigated for quantum dots with hexagonal, square, and triangular geometries. Our numerical results reveal that the ground-state spin and the charge density distribution of the system are sensitive to the shape of the quantum dot.


Abstract This article relays the story of a high school that initiated reform using school wide action research teams as a vehicle to develop teacher leaders, teachers as change agents, and a collaborative reflective culture. The concept was introduced by the principal who mandated that all must participate. Each team worked on an issue that was considered important for the whole school. In the first two years teachers worked together to make meaning of the action research process. As they gained experience, they became more confident. In the third year the teams finished their individual projects. The story demonstrates both positive and negative aspects of such a venture. The teachers needed time to work through their uncertainty with the action research team process, and guidance and support from administration. Those interviewed saw the action research teams as a vehicle for teacher-driven professional development. While most of the teachers felt they had benefitted from their work on the teams, they ...


Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the roughness effect on the fixation of taper junction components and surfaces wear in terms of taper surface design. The roughness of the femoral heads' taper and of the femoral stems' trunnions can influence the fretting wear of the taper junction.

Design/methodology/approach
It was analysed whether a microgrooved taper surface of the femoral stem trunnion improves the fixation and reduces the wear rate at the taper junction of the hip prosthesis. Two models have studied: a femoral head with a smooth tapered surface combined with a microgrooved stem trunnion and a femoral head with a smooth tapered surface combined with a trunnion that had a smooth surface of the tapered. To compare the wear evolution between these two models, a computerised finite element model of the wear was used.

Findings
The results obtained after analysis carried out during millions of loading cycles showed that the depth of the linear wear and the total material loss were higher for the femoral heads joined with microgrooved trunnions. The main conclusion of this paper is that the smooth surfaces of the taper and of the trunnions will ensure a better fixation at the taper junction, and therefore, will reduce the volumetric wear rates.

Originality/value
A higher fixation of the taper junction will reduce the total hip prosthesis failure and, finally, it will improve the quality and durability of modular hip prostheses.


The growing interest in wearable electronics has triggered an enormous demand for flexible/wearable power sources. Flexible batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, Sodium-ion batteries, and Zinc/Zinc-Air batteries have been developed greatly. Nanofiber nonwoven fabrics form highly porous networks with remarkable interconnectivity between their pores, making them play an important role in flexible batteries as separators, current collectors and electrodes, etc. It looks that nanofiber nonwoven fabrics are promising to apply in flexible batteries, thus it is time to summarize their fabrication technology, flexible characteristics, electrochemical performance, and application prospects. This review paper focused on the current application status, emerging developments, and challenges of nanofiber nonwoven fabrics produced by electrospinning on flexible batteries. It is hopeful that this job will provide important references for the flexible batteries industrialization.


The front-end electronics for both, highly granular silicon-based electromagnetic and scintillatorbased hadronic calorimeters require a highly integrated and efficient cooling. Thermal properties of tungsten and carbon fibre based absorber elements drive the cooling concepts of electromagnetic calorimeters. The feasibility of a cooling system has been successfully demonstrated for low power calorimeter readout electronics. Thermal modelling and measurements performed on demonstrators constructed within the EUDET project (www.eudet.org) and distributed between two participating labs, meet the thermal requirements. For the scintillator-based hadronic calorimeter, a cooling system has been designed for use in beam test experiments using the mechanical infrastructure constructed within the EUDET project.

In academia, there is a sort of hidden argument about the factors which shape effective reading and the amount of language competence gained through reading. In this regard, few believe that the number of the hours spent daily on reading different sources will lead to effective reading and high language competence regardless of the fact that how this amount of time is spent. On the contrary, some believe that the number of hours has nothing to do with effective reading and this time measurement criterion has no validity in relation to effective reading and the development of specialized language competence. Accordingly, the present paper tried to consider the essential factors which lead to effective reading and the development of specialized competence. Moreover, it aimed at providing evidence of the fact that high specialized language competence is basically the result of effective reading rather than the number of hours spent on reading something.


There are significant municipal concerns relating to the use of surfactants and enzymes in the process of wastewater treatment. Treatment plants use different techniques to remove impurities from water.As wastewater treatment plants use the latest technology to remove contaminants from water, there are high costs, and sometimes an enforcement of regulations is lax. Still, many municipalities across the country prohibit the use of surfactants and enzymes entering wastewater treatment because of the harmful effects of these products on the sewer lines and high damage costs. Surfactant compounds are organic. Their molecules include water-soluble and oil or an insoluble component. These molecular compounds seek the water surface and chemically reduce the boundaries between oil and water. When surfactants are in the water, they absorb into the soil and can cause injury to plants and organic organisms, but people find surfactants and enzymes useful in cleaning agents for emulsifying and dispersing oil and grease. Scientists have found that at least some surfactants are toxic to ecosystems, people and animals, but they have not been able predict far-reaching consequences. And now the most important question is how to solve this problem or how to reduce these negative effects. In this paper we tried to remove surfactants from waste water with an activated sludge system.


Three-phase squirrel cage induction motors are one of the important elements of the industrial production system, and are mostly used because of their robustness, reliability, relatively simple construction and their low cost. Nevertheless, during their function in different process, this machine types are submitted to external and internal stresses which can lead to several electrical or mechanical failures. In this paper, we proposed a reliable approach for diagnosis and detection of stator short-circuit windings and rotor broken bars faults in induction motor under varying load condition based on relative energy for each level of stator current signal using wavelet packet decomposition which will be useful as data input of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is able to identify the induction motor and it is proven to be capable of detecting broken bars and stator short-circuit fault e with high precision. The diagnostic ANFIS algorithm is applicable to a variety of industrial process based on the induction machine for detection and classified the any faults types. This approach is applied under the MATLAB software®.


Dr Matthias Linding examines the feasibility of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the glass industry, in line with European Union objectives.


Power transformer is the core of energy conversion and transmission, and its load capacity is an important assessment index of power grid's load capacity and safety reliability. With the growth of social power consumption, the overload phenomenon is becoming more and more prominent. In order to improve the load management level, this paper carries out the research work related to transformer load capacity assessment and optimized control strategy of cooling system. Firstly, the transformer load type and load capacity constraints are introduced. Then the load capacity is assessed by taking the top-oil temperature, hot-spot temperature (HST), capacity of auxiliary equipment and relative life loss as constraints. Finally, the optimized control strategy of cooling system is proposed. The results show that the main constraints of the normal periodic load capacity and the long-term emergency load capacity are the relative life loss and the capacity of auxiliary equipment respectively. Short-term emergency load capacity is not only limited by the temperature of top-oil and hot-spot, but also affected by the initial load rate. The sliding interval method is used to optimize the control strategy of cooling system, which can avoid the frequent switching caused by fluctuating load or environment.


266 he aim of the operation is to reduce the right ventricular (RV) pressure and the pressure gradient between the RV and the pulmonary artery (PA) in Tetralogy of Fallot-type disease. Generally, transannular patching was required when the pulmonary annulus is extended to be too small to lead to acceptable postoperative RVp/LVp less than 0.65. If the anomalous coronary artery exists in the RV outflow tract, the procedure can not be done. This double outlet technique would be associated with durable relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and makes potential for growth of the surgically created outflow pathway.

Physical activity (PA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have emerged as crucial factors in facilitating the incidence of postmenopausal (PM) breast cancer (BC). The association of PA, MetS and its components with PM BC was explored in this study. PRISMA guideline was followed and online databases were searched comprehensively to find relevant cohort and case-control studies until 18 February 2021 using keywords such as "physical activity", "metabolic syndrome" and "breast cancer". Eligible studies evaluating BC in postmenopausal women with a clear definition and measure of PA, MetS and its individual components were selected. A total of twenty-three articles related to PA and fifteen articles for MetS met the eligibility criteria and were assessed thoroughly. PA and MetS were significantly associated with PM BC. There was evidence of dose-response effect of PA and Mets on PM BC. Obesity, diabetes and dyslipidaemia were independently associated with PM BC and posed an increased risk on PM BC whereas the association of HPTN with PM BC was not prominent. Consistent and sustained long term PA throughout one's lifetime was observed to decrease PM BC risk whereas increasing number of MetS components increased the risk of PM BC. Routine screening for PM women with ≥2 MetS components and obese or overweight women with any of the MetS components may be beneficial in early BC detection. Lifestyle modifications with emphasis on long term PA would be beneficial to public health in preventing and improving MetS outcomes as well as a primary prevention of sporadic PM BC.


All males referred to the Michigan Center for Forensic Psychiatry for competency evaluation in 1969 were grouped according to race, and differences on demographic variables. Criminal charges, diagnosis, competency finding, and disposition were studied. A subsample of 70 blacks and 70 whites was analyzed for characteristics associated with M M PI administration and for differences in M M PI profile. The results are consistent with previous literature and indicate a tendency to clinically overestimate psychopathology in blacks though there is no supporting evidence for a difference in level of pathology in terms of the more objective M M PI measure. The profound effects of this overestimation on disposition are discussed, and a number of solutions are proposed.


This survey study uses hypothetical patient and clinical scenarios to assess how US primary care physicians (PCPs) approach screening for iron deficiency anemia, interpret iron laboratory studies, and refer patients with iron deficiency anemia for gastrointestinal endoscopy.


Composting for mushroom Agaricus bisporus cultivation was subjected to disinfestation for pasteurization. The formulated compound with wheat straw and horse bedding is composted for 21 days at the end was subjected to disinfestation, inoculated and stored in a controlled environmental chamber. The cultivation was grown in chambers under controlled conditions, in the Champignon Sul Agroindustrial in Tupancireta/ RS, from 1998 to 2012. We evaluated disinfestation for pasteurization the through productivity, the number of harvested streams per crop chamber, and the occurrence of contaminating microrganisms of the compound by comparing the contaminated and uncontaminated parcels. Trichoderma spp. was observed in all handlings.


OBJECTIVE
To search for a possible correlation between an effective marker of smoking and uterine and placental resistance during pregnancy.

STUDY DESIGN
A prospective study was conducted at the Intercommunal Hospital Center of Montreuil, France: 81 healthy pregnant women underwent uterine and placental Doppler and cotidin blood assay, the best current test for smoking.

RESULTS
This study shows a significative increase of utero-placental vascular resistances according with increased cotidine levels.

CONCLUSIONS
The previously observed association between smoking and perinatal events most likely involves vascular resistance of uterus and placenta.


69 young men with obesity manifesting at puberty have been examined. The average age was 19,22±0,26. 17 healthy young men, whose average age was 22 ± 0,72 years old, constituted a control group. The examined were divided according to their blood pressure (BP): the first subgroup included 36 young men with normal blood pressure, the other subgroup included 33 young men with arterial hypertension. Levels of blood lipid spectrum, levels of leptin, resistin, adiponectin, insulin in serum, urinary metanephrine excretion were measured. We obtained the following results: young men with obesity identified atherogenic changes in lipid metabolism, insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia. Regardless of the level of blood pressure they showed a significant increase in leptin levels. In the subgroup of patients with hypertension we found increased urinary excretion of metanephrine, indicating increased activity of the sympathoadrenal system and its involvement in the formation of hypertension. The level of adiponectin in the surveyed tended to decrease, more pronounced in the combination of obesity and hypertension.

Halogenated compounds, for example, antibiotics, pesticides, etc., are present as intermediates and products of many biosynthetic pathways. The enzymes responsible for the halogenation of these compounds are largely unknown. In contrast to chemical halogenation, enzymatic halogenation reactions proceed under mild conditions and, due to the specificity of the respective enzyme, yield less by-products. So far, halogenating enzymes from eukaryotes, marine algae, and fungi have been described.'-3 Difficulties with mass cultivation of these organisms and high peroxidase and catalase side activities of the respective haloperoxidases have hampered their technical utilization. Recently, bacterial enzymes-bromoperoxidases from Streptomyces and Pseudomonus strains-have been dete~ted.~" Some of these bromoperoxidases have no peroxidase or catalase activity. These new haloperoxidases have no heme a t the catalytic center and have been termed nonheme haloperoxidases. The following scheme shows the main differences between the two groups of halogenating enzymes:


The research of aural practice in higher institutions of teachers' training is a long term research. The expression of music images is established on the rational structure of professional qualifications, professional training and professional mechanics. It is only after the overlapping of sensational and rational qualifications is built up, can the integrated capability of the scientific, reasonable and professional criterion be reached.


Potassium 4S1/2 - 6S1/2 two-photon excitation initiates the emission of several internally generated photons. For the first time two emission lines one close and one below the potassium 4P3/2 level are reported. Radiation emitted below the 4P3/2 - 4S1/2 level is due to a Parametric Four Wave Mixing (PFWM) process initiated by the internally generated radiation from 5P3/2 - 4S1/2 level. The line emitted close to the 4P3/2 level is produced by a two-step Four Wave Mixing (FWM) process. Direct one photon driving of 4S3/2 - 4P3/2 transition produces similar to HEP radiation.


Judging War Criminals: The Politics of International Justice, by Yves Beigbeder. Adjunct Professor, Webster University, Geneva, Switzerland. Foreword by Professor Theo van Boven. Is the creation of international law only an intellectual and diplomatic exercise devoid of practical effect? Is international humanitarian law just a dream entertained by wishful thinking international lawyers and idealists who think that a ratified convention will be respected by a fighting army or by guerillas? Do those who promoted, initiated, and drafted these instruments, those diplomats who approved the final text, really believe that those governments which ratified these instruments will really apply them?1 With these questions, posed toward the end of his book, Judging War Criminals, Yves Beigbeder restates the fundamental issues that have confronted public international law, especially those branches of it concerned with the laws of war and armed conflict, throughout history. Can the rule of law be upheld in this context? If so, how, and by whom? These issues extend back to Grotius and beyond, and Beigbeder makes it painfully clear that, while we have become better at paying lip service to the rule of law since Grotius' time, we are little closer to making it a practical reality. Where one stands on these issues is, first and foremost, a philosophical question. It is not necessarily an indictment of international law to recognize that it may be a specialized arm of international politics and diplomacy and, therefore, must conform to the boundaries of those disciplines rather than those of domestic jurisprudence. Nor is it necessarily an indictment of one's idealism or aspirations to entertain a certain skepticism about the enforcement of international criminal and humanitarian law in international courts. It is not, as I think Beigbeder is wont to assume, only the perpetrators and their supporters who resist the idea of a preeminent criminal jurisdiction that encroaches substantially on traditional notions of state sovereignty. There are thoughtful people in all countries who are thoroughly opposed to war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity, but who nonetheless feel that an overarching international jurisprudence is not the only way to proceed. And then, of course, there are the perpetrators and their supporters, who oppose the idea because of their own personal interest in avoiding justice and being at liberty to commit further crimes. This is a complex and ever-shifting scene. Before going further, I must take a moment to disclose a professional interest of my own. At the time of writing, I am serving as appellate counsel (I did not appear at trial) for an accused who was convicted of serious crimes by a Trial Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).2 Some of the issues raised by the appeal go to the heart of the jurisdiction of the ICTY and illustrate what those on our side of the case perceive to be its barely-concealed determination to create a radical new body of judge-made law. If successfully established, this new law will effectively eliminate the distinction between international and internal conflicts, and change quite radically the existing posture of public international law on the issue of state sovereignty. Despite my involvement in the case as an advocate, I have done my best to write objectively. Beigbeder's work is very impressive for two reasons. First, the book is written with a simplicity and directness to which only a writer with a profound knowledge of his field can aspire. Beigbeder, a veteran in the work of international organizations, succeeds admirably in describing the historical development of international humanitarian and international criminal law from the older field of the law of war. He chronicles the very tentative history of this endeavor from medieval times to the 19th century, the beginnings of the modern quest for international criminal justice at Nuremberg and Tokyo, the attempts to set up more representative judicial bodies in the ICTY and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the proposed permanent International Criminal Court (ICC), and the quasi judicial experiments of the South African and South American Truth and Reconciliation Commissions. …


Siegel and Fouraker 1960 hypothesize and purport to show experimentally that players in bilateral monopoly will tend toward contracts at the Paretian optimum quantity P.O. under conditions of incomplete information players know only their own payoff functions, even though the theory implicitly assumes complete information both players know both functions. Their results contain artifacts which severely limit the generality of any inferences that might be drawn from them.

The theory prediction that players will tend toward P.O. must be based on the explicit, not implicit, assumption of complete information. In this paper it is demonstrated that under conditions of incomplete information it is very likely that players will tend toward contracts at the P.O. only when it can be assumed that they meet the very restrictive condition of behaving like perfect competitors. Also, in an experiment measuring the degree to which players did in fact bid along their marginal functions, some 48% of the variance in behavior was explained by this model.


Inferences using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are resource and energy intensive. Therefore, their execution on highly constrained edge devices demands the careful co-optimization of algorithms and hardware. Addressing this challenge, in this paper we present a flexible In-Memory Computing (IMC) architecture and circuit, able to scale data representations to varying bitwidths at run-time, while ensuring high level of parallelism and requiring low area. Moreover, we introduce a novel optimization heuristic, which tailors the quantization level in each CNN layer according to workloads and robustness considerations. We investigate the performance, accuracy and energy requirements of our co-design approach on CNNs of varying sizes, obtaining up to 76.2% increases in efficiency and up to 75.6% reductions in run-time with respect to fixed-bitwidth alternatives, for negligible accuracy degradation.


This article argues for the implementation of mathematical modeling activities within the elementary and middle school years in United States. The article also discusses challenges associated with mathematical modeling from both teachers' and students' perspectives. Examples of authentic modeling tasks are illustrated in this article to indicate the relevance and importance of mathematical modeling and show that elementary and middle school students are capable of engaging in such modeling tasks. It is argued that mathematical modeling tasks are powerful vehicles for developing quantitative reasoning, problem-solving skills, and modeling competencies in the early school years. The article demonstrates that mathematical modeling tasks encourage the development of a wide range of mathematical practices and 21st century learning skills that are useful for real-life situations and today's world.


It is nearly twenty years since the principle and technique of fluorescein angiography were first described; the procedure has now become standardized and has found a regular place in the routine diagnosis of fundus disorders. Much of the contribution of angiography would have been sterile were it not for the parallel development of photocoagulation as a method of treating fundus disease, with initially the xenon-arc photocoagulator and later the ruby, argon and krypton lasers adapted for retinal therapy. The two techniques of angiography and photocoagulation are often complementary, so that the assessment of fundus disease before treatment is one of the prime indications for angiography. To this must be added its undoubted value in the diagnosis of retinal and choroidal disorders where conventional methods of examination are insufficient, and its positive research value in the study of the retinal circulation and of the the retina, pigment epithelium and choroid. There are, however, a large number of situations where fluorescein angiography is quite unnecessary and wasteful of time and expense, and the purpose of this review is to highlight the abuses of the procedure as much as its uses.


The article deals with the problems of increasing a business's economic effectiveness on the basis of prognostication and evaluation of risks. By the example of telecommunication companies the author demonstrates the principles of complex prognostication approaches in the process of elaboration and implementation of investment projects. The author gives recommendations of how to apply different approaches to prognostication depending on its duration, forecasting expenses, degree of stakeholders' involvement into the process and other characteristics. The stress is made on a foresight method as the most effective means of prognostication in the course of solving a wide range of problems of social and economic development.


As early as in 1937, Fairley and Mackie drew attention to a sprue-like syndrome occurring in patients with intestinal reticulosis1. They stressed the clinical and biochemical similarities between their cases and those of idiopathic steatorrhoea. Gough et al. were the first to suggest that intestinal reticulosis may arise as a complication of idiopathic steatorrhoea and that the widespread mucosal derangement in idiopathic steatorrhoea was itself a premalignant condition2. Debate followed as to whether malignancies elsewhere in the body may induce secondary changes in the small intestinal mucosa, including the flattened appearance as seen in idiopathic steatorrhoea. The increased incidence not only of reticulosis but also of carcinomas in patients with idiopathic steatorrhoea refuted the belief that villous atrophy was a non-specific and secondary reaction to cancer elsewhere. Reports from the UK (mainly from Bristol and Birmingham), Ireland, Australia and the Scandinavian countries have confirmed the increased incidence of malignant lymphoma and cancer of the oesophagus, larynx and small intestine in coeliac disease (Table W15. Compared to non-coeliacs, patients suffering from coeliac disease have a 1.9 to 2.1 increased risk of dying6'14. The relative risk of dying from all malignancies or from lymphoma is described in Table 2. A 25to 120-fold increased risk of malignant lymphoma is apparently present. The true risk, however, can be defined only when all, or most, patients with coeliac disease are identified in a defined population and longitudinal observations are obtained16. The incidence of coeliac disease in a population is not accurately known, lymphomas may remain undiagnosed unless autopsies are performed routinely, and patients with established lymphoma may have coeliac disease, but are usually not investigated from that point of view17, except in two studies18'19


In our Note [2], we generalized the well known Hahn-Banach theorem on the extension of linear functionals to semifield valued functions. In this Note, we concern with semifield valued linear functions, and generalize some results of R. P. Agnew [1]. As well known, the theory of semifields has been developed by M. Ya. Antonovski, B. G. Boltjanski and T. A. Sarymsakov since 1960. We shall use some results of semifields without references. Let E be a linear space, and let F be a semifield. We consider functions defined on E with range in F. A function r(x) is called rfunction on E, if there is a linear function f(x) satisfying f(x)<<r(x) on E. Let r(x) be an r-function on E. Then there is a linear function f(x) such that f(x)<<r(x) for all x e E. For t >0, we have f(x)f(tx) << r(tx)


In China the coal seam commonly belongs to the hypotonic reservoir,especially the neopaleozoic coal seam with permeability smaller than 1 millidarcy approximately accounts for 70 percent,among which the coal-bed methane resource with the burial 1000 m in depth amounts to 2.95 myriad hundred million tons,accounting for 53 percent of coal resources amount. Large amount of coal-bed methane resources keeps in storage under the depth of 1000 m. Under such a depth in the deep mining,the pressure of the coal-bed is considerably high,and the porous media is regarded to be highly compacted. Considering the gas seepage in this compaction porous medium,the gas slippage effect is remarkable. The researches on gas slippage effects has the important significance to reveal the gas seepage mechanism through the hypotoniccoal reservoir. The experimental studies are carried out to reveal the seepage laws of Tiefa,Huaxing and Jincheng coal samples,to analyze the impact of confining pressure and pore pressure on the gas slippage effect of the hypotonic coal samples,and to get new theoretical formula for the gas slippage effects of the hypotonic coal samples. A foundation is established to understand the internal structure of coal and coal-bed methane slippage flow in coal seams. The experiment results have theoretically significant values to carry out industrialized exploitation of coal-bed methane in hypotonic coal reservoir.


Abstract After decades of the steady growth of inmate populations, the mass imprisonment movement has stalled and serious attempts are being undertaken to downsize prisons. At issue, however, is whether the American public will endorse this policy agenda. This issue is explored with data from a 2010 survey of 1,569 Oregon adults. On a broad level, the respondents favored a preventative-rehabilitative approach to crime control and endorsed a range of reentry services for inmates. Most significant, the sample supported specific policies, including community sanctions and several forms of early release, to reduce prison populations. Notably, however, they did not embrace downsizing for the purpose of lowering spending—a finding that should be explored in other states. These results indicate that, at least in Oregon, the public is willing to consider efforts to downsize prisons. Capitalizing on this public support remains the challenge to be addressed.


We investigate several materials commonly used in nano-optics in the context of metagrating designs. The optimized devices for the materials are compared with respect to their optimal performance. Our work provides a useful guideline for metagrating design.


In the research of German project-teaching,it is essential that the stylistics be effectively combined with translation training in the teaching of translation of Germen practical writing.That demands not only the important guiding role in terms of stylistics,but also the stylistic awareness as well as basic knowledge of stylistics,especially the comparison between Chinese and Germen for the stylistic appropriateness in translation.


Volcanic lakes are complex natural systems and their chemical composition is related to a myriad of processes. The chemical composition of major, minor, Rare Earth Elements (REE) and physico-chemical parameters at the hyperacid crater lake of Rincón de la Vieja volcano (Costa Rica) are here investigated during February 2013–August 2014. The study of the lake chemical composition allows to identify the main geochemical processes occurring in the lake and to track the changes in the volcanic activity, both important for active volcanoes monitoring. The total REE concentration (∑REE) dissolved in the crater lake varies from 2.7 to 3.6 mg kg−1 during the period of observation. REE in the water lake samples normalized to the average volcanic local rock (REEN-local rock) are depleted in light REE (LREE). On the contrary REEN-local rock in the solids precipitated (mainly gypsum/anhydrite), from lake water samples in laboratory at 22°C, are enriched in LREE. The low variability of (La/Pr)N-local rock and (LREE/HREE)N-local rock ratios (0.92–1.07 and 0.66–0.81, respectively) in crater lake waters is consistent with the low phreatic activity (less than 10 phreatic eruptions in 2 years) observed during the period of observation. This period of low activity precedes the unrest started in 2015, thus, it could be considered as a pre-unrest, characterized by infrequent phreatic eruptions. No clear changes in the REE chemistry are associated with the phreatic eruption occurred at mid-2013. The results obtained investigating water-rock interaction processes at the Rincón de la Vieja crater lake show that rock dissolution and mineral precipitation/dissolution are the main processes that control the variability of cations composition over time. In particular, precipitation and dissolution of gypsum and alunite are responsible for the variations of REE in the waters. Despite the low variations of (La/Pr)N-local rock and (LREE/HREE)N-local rock ratios, this study allows to suggest that REE can be used, together with major elements, as practical tracers of water-rock interaction processes and mineral precipitation/dissolution at active hyperacid crater lakes over time, also during periods of quiescence and low phreatic activity.


Hypertension in adolescents is defined by systolic and diastolic blood pressure ≥95 th , which are assessed according to the task force table, hypertension is not only happened in adults, but it also attacks in adolescents. Poor sleep quality may interfere with the secretion  of cortisol which eventually leads to increase blood  pressure. Sleep quality assessment using questionnaires called PSQI (Pittsburg sleep quality index). The Type of study is descriptive-analytic using a cross-sectional study,analyzed by spearman rank correlation test. The result of study that showed,in respondents who are experienced poor sleep quality (62,2%) had prehypertension blood pressure category (28,3%) and hypertension (34,8%), while the respondents who are experienced good sleep quality (37,8%) had prehypertension blood pressure category (10,7%) and hypertension (10,7%), the probability was p= 0,001. The conclusion of  study, there is a signifiant correlation between sleep quality and blood pressure, which means poor sleep quality can cause an increase in blood pressure. The students must have good sleep quality, so that it can prevent increase blood pressure and also prevent hypertension at young age.

The expected reliability of two different Lightning Frequency Counter (LFC) designs is calculated. Different sources of reliability data arc used and the resulting Moan Time To Repair (MTTR) of the LFC's is predicted. LFC's are often sited at remote locations and are required to operate with few failures. The MTDF is thus an important design property. The availability can be increased by using more expensive, higher reliability components or by reducing the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) by providing sufficient spares. The most cost-effective approach is to use standard components and provide sufficient spares so that an availability of 99.0% is achieved, resulting in an expected downtime of loss than 1 day per year, for a cost increase of only 45%.


ABSTRACT The scientific literature abounds with articles on the extraction of cesium from liquid waste. From the 1940s, several classes of inorganic exchangers were used for cesium removal, such as zeolites, hexacyanoferrates, zirconium phosphate, ammonium phosphomolybdate, and, more recently, crystalline silicotitanate. Later, organic compounds like formophenolic resins, tetraphenylboron, or extractants such as dicarbollides or crown ethers were proposed. Generally, these compounds were only able to efficiently remove cesium under restrictive conditions (alkaline medium, low salinity, etc.) The performances of most of these compounds strongly decreased as the acidity (or salinity) of the liquid waste increased. Artifices had to be implemented to improve the performances of extractants. A restricted number of inorganic exchangers allowed the cesium removal, but often they could not be eluted or needed prohibitive volumes of saline eluent, leading to large volumes of secondary waste.

Two laser spectroscopy techniques for adsorbate vibrational spectroscopy are discussed: electroreflectance vibrational spectroscopy (EVS) and polarization-modulated IR reflection absorption spectroscopy (PS). Both techniques were used to obtain quantitative spectra of CO on Ni(100). The sensitivity of EVS is greater, but the two techniques provide complementary information. Chemical applications are given.


We fabricated semiconductor microtubes separated from substrates and investigated photoluminescence (PL) properties. The rolling of microtubes containing quantum dots (QDs) was found to happen at many points on the surface of the substrate, while the rolling of microtubes containing a quantum well (QW) started from the cleaved surface. The semiconductor microtubes separated from substrates like bridge structures could be successfully fabricated using photolithography and wet-etching. The distance between the microtube and the substrate was about 30 nm. In this case, lasing oscillations could not be observed due to the large loss of optical power caused by the absorption in the substrate. This indicates that the wider separation between the microtube and the substrate is necessary for achieving the lasing oscillations (© 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)


Ni nanoflowers were successfully synthesized by wet chemical method using hydrazine hydrate as reducing agent. Ni/Ag nanocomposite was prepared by simple redox-transmetalation reaction by using the synthesized Ni nanoflowers and silver nitrate as precursors. The x-ray diffraction pattern revealed the formation of face centered cubic crystal structured Ni nanostructure and Ni/Ag nanocomposite. Scanning electron micrograph was used to study the surface morphology of Ni nanoflowers and Ni/Ag nanocomposite. The energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry analysis showed the purity of the prepared samples. The synthesized Ni/Ag nanocomposite was made into film and used as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for probing the SERS signal of methylene blue molecule. The Ni/Ag nanocomposite showed significantly stronger Raman signal than the bare glass substrate.


The Fast Auroral Snapshot Explorer (FAST), with its 83 inclination orbit and 4000 km apogee, is ideally suited for investigation of the high latitude perturbations to the geomagnetic field. These data can be used to determine fieldaligned currents, but here we emphasize the perturbations themselves, rather than their spatial gradient. This allows us to more readily visualize the forces applied to the ionosphere by the magnetosphere (and vice-versa). Our basic framework for interpreting the magnetic field perturbations is one in which flows in the magnetosphere and at the magnetopause apply stresses to the ionosphere where the imposed flows must overcome the collisional drag. Thus field-aligned currents flow in response to a requirement for an ionospheric J×B force to overcome the drag. We will interpret two intervals of polar data acquired by FAST in this framework, showing how the overall structure of the field perturbations can be understood in terms of applied stresses. We discuss briefly one implication of this approach, that the ionosphere may be important in braking substorm-related flow bursts.


We state some sum theorems for the strong small transfinitedimension in differentclasses of topological spaces. Introduction P. Borst introduced in [1] the strong small transfinitedimension, sind. There, HipQtatprlTHEOREM ([1], corollary of proposition IV.5). Let X be a normal space which has a locally finite closed cover {Fs}_ye g such that for each Fs itis sind (Fs)* A . Then sind(X)±A. We could say that thisis a locally finite sum weak theorem, because in it there is no relation between the strong small transfinitedimensions of the closed sets Fs and that of the whole space X. We'll connect them obtaining the locally finitesum theorem for sind, in its classical formulation, in the class of strongly hereditarily normal spaces. In addition, we establish an open sum theorem in the class of regular spaces. Preliminaries We shall use the notation and definitionsin [1], [3], [4] and [5]. For every ordinal t, we have £= A(£)+ ≪(£)where A(|) is a limit ordinal and ≪(£)is a finiteordinal. We take the extra symbol A ,satisfying A > t,and A + % = ];+ A = A for each ordinal number £.

Firstauther has been supported by the DGICYT grant PB93-0454-C02-02 94 Eduardo Cuchillo-IbAnez and Juan Tarres we define, for a subspace Y of a topological space X, the sets: Pn(y) = u{£//£/open in Y and Ind [ClY(U)] < n] where neiVu{0}, and Ao[^] = ^For every ordinal number £ we obtain inductively: a^[Y] = y kjP(Y) and P4(Y) = n<£, '.BlKlflM) We simplify by denoting A JX] = A* and PAX) = P? for every ordinal t, DEFINITION.

Theorem 1. Let X be a strongly hereditarily normal space. If <^={C',},e/is a locally finiteclosed cover of X such that for each i e / sind(C,) ^ £,then sind(X)<£. Proof. We'll obtain sind (X) < ^ by proving At = 0, thatis to say, X=uP,. So, we'll see that for each point xeX there exists an ordinal number 7]0,with 7]0< % ,such that xeP^. Let's take a point xo^ X and let V be an open neighbourhood of x0 such that intersects to a finitenumber of elements of the closed cover %: C/,,...,C/n.We'll show the existence of an ordinal Tfo<£, for which xo^P^o≫ by induction on n, the number of elements of % whose intersection with V is not empty, i.If n=\, V only cuts C,,,whereupon xoeVcCi,.

Fe/FeS2 core/shell nanowire arrays were synthesized by electrodeposition with post-sulfuration,and the influence of sulfuration on magnetic properties of the nanowires were studied.Firstly,Fe nanowires were electrodeposited in AAO template with highly ordered pores.When the nanowires were sulfured at 450 ℃ after partial AAO template was dissolved,brush shape FeS2 was fabricated on the surface of Fe nanowires,and Fe/FeS2 core/shell nanowire arrays were formed.The results show that the diameter of the Fe nanowire decreased and the preferred orientation changed with the process of sulfuration.An increasing of the saturation magnetization and coercivity were found after the sulfuration,which can be attributed to the increase of the surface defects of the nanowires and the decrease of the magnetostatic interaction between nanowires caused by the formation of core/shell structure.


The present research studies the possible relationship between the application of
the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and the value of the shares of
agricultural and industrial companies listed on the Lima Stock Exchange between
2014, 2015 and 2016; Taking into account the information presented in the "Report
on compliance with Good Corporate Governance", which groups these practices
according to the 5 pillars: I) Shareholders 'rights, II) General shareholders' meeting,
III) Directors and senior management, VI) Risk And compliance and V) Transparency
of information.
In this sense, the research was carried out under a descriptive, qualitative, long-term
and non-experimental design. We sampled 50 companies listed on the Lima Stock
Exchange, 16 in the agricultural sector and 34 in the industrial sector. This sample
was calculated using the multi-stage probabilistic method. The analysis consisted in
measuring the degree of compliance with good corporate practices and comparing
it with the variation that presented the value of its shares, for the years 2014, 2015
and 2016.
The result was that there is not enough evidence to show a relationship between the
variables, as it was found that companies that increased compliance with the
Corporate Governance Principles did not show an increase in the value of their
shares; and companies that did not vary in compliance, the value of their shares
doubled.


We develop a method for the exact computation of the frequency responses for a class of infinite dimensional systems. In particular, we consider the distributed parameter systems in which a spatial independent variable belongs to a finite interval. We show that an explicit formula for the frequency responses can be derived whenever the underlying operators can be represented by a forced two point boundary value state-space realizations (TPBVSR). This formula involves finite dimensional computations with matrices whose dimension is at most four times larger than the order of the underlying differential operator. In this way an exact reduction of an infinite dimensional problem to a finite dimensional one is accomplished. We also provide several examples to illustrate the procedure.


Reasonable reactive power and voltage control can greatly lower energy loss during transmission while also increasing the power grid's voltage qualification rate. The comprehensive utilization of various distributed equipment that can regulate reactive power and voltage of power system and the implementation of reactive power global centralized optimization control can effectively improve the voltage quality while ensuring the security and stability of the power grid operation. At present, AVC can only control the current operation state of the power grid. In essence, it is the real-time control after finding that the voltage exceeds the limit or the reactive power flow distribution is unreasonable. In the case of renewable energy and load active power fluctuation, failure to effectively deal with the requirements of the reactive power balancing and voltage control on the grid will lead to frequent repeated adjustment of the equipment, affect the service life of the equipment, and seriously endanger the safe and stable operation of the power grid. With the massive connection of renewable energy sources and the mixed operation of AC and DC power grid, uncertainties on both the source and load side increases, the dynamic characteristics of power grid are complex and changeable, and the problem of reactive power and the regulation of power supply and voltage become more and more prominent. Hence, it makes sense to study the dynamic reactive power optimal dispatching control technology of AC / DC power grid. Considering the change trend of renewable energy and load, comprehensively coordinate reactive power and voltage equipment such as flexible DC, SVC, generator reactive power, capacitive reactor and OLTC to carry out multi cycle coupling dynamic reactive power optimization. Complete scheduling cycle. In this way, the fine control of reactive power and voltage can be realized.
