Seasonal adaptations of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and their role in the control of aphid populations are discussed. The chrysopids of temperate zones face seasonal changes and must escape cyclic adversity. One way is via the number of broods per year. Most green lacewings are facultatively multivoltine, with the succession of generations most often regulated by photomediated diapause. Others are univoltine and some extend their life-cycle to two years in cold or dry environments. Synchroni- zation is an important feature of seasonality, often starting in spring. In univoltine species, it is sometimes the result of subtle mecha- nisms, such as double contradictory signals (short plus long day lengths) for reactivation in spring, or a multi-receptivity of the preimaginal instars to photoperiod throughout a year, combined with photo-controlled and synchronized egg laying in late summer. Only one North American species is known to enter a surnumerary food-mediated diapause in summer. Every postembryonic instar may undergo diapause depending on the species. The timing and impact of the spring resumption in aphid consumption depends on their overwintering strategy. As far is known, chrysopids are intolerant of freezing, but their supercooling points are low enough to enable them to endure hard frost. The numbers of overwintering specimens of green lacewings in the field depend on the structure of the assemblages in the pre- vious growing season. Three examples are used to show that the overwintering populations are different in the different biotopes and dependent on the way the dominant species overwinter. Artificial chambers proposed for overwintering adults of common green lacewings afford them protection during diapause and enhance their predatory efficiency in spring.


This work presents our efforts to reproduce the results of the human evaluation experiment presented in the paper of Vamvas and Sennrich (2022), which evaluated an automatic system detecting over- and undertranslations (translations containing more or less information than the original) in machine translation (MT) outputs. Despite the high quality of the documentation and code provided by the authors, we discuss some problems we found in reproducing the exact experimental setup and offer recommendations for improving reproducibility. Our replicated results generally confirm the conclusions of the original study, but in some cases statistically significant differences were observed, suggesting a high variability of human annotation.

ABSTRACT This article is based on a study conducted in Nigerian Christian and Muslim neighborhoods on the intrigues that characterized adults-adolescent girls' relations about how and when adolescent girls could use smart phones. Questionnaires, ethnographic interviews, school debates, observations, and focus group discussion methods were used to study the influence of smart phones on adolescent girls' identity construction, adults-adolescent girls' tension as regards ownership and use of smartphones, and new dynamics in adolescent girls-male friends' relationship caused by smart phone uptake. For this population, smart phones display contextual symbolism that transcends their technological meaning, shifting girls' social dependence from adults to peers and technology. Smart phone use has given adolescent girls a new way of identity construction, empowered them subtly in sexuality negotiation and assigned new roles to them. Adults' concern about adolescent girls' use of smart phones is rooted in their fears about the possible negative influences of smart phone use, which they see as entertainment driven and inimical to adolescent girls' development. Findings of this study revealed that tensions between adults and adolescent girls over smart phone uptake originated from role reversal and expectation-laden nature of smart phones acquired by male friends, which effective mutual sharing of knowledge and resources could address. Adolescent girls should justify their craving for smart phones morally, socially, and psychologically. Adults and social institutions also need to rediscover their new roles in a world where digital innovations are necessities.


An optimization method for hyperparameters of our machine learning extrapolation algorithm for results of variational calculations in quantum mechanics, is proposed. The method makes it possible to obtain the optimal values of hyperparameters for artificial neural network training. Deviations of some hyperparameters from the optimal values are shown to result in distorting the extrapolation predictions.

An Eulerian, rather than Lagrangian, form of the virial theorem is derived for a turbulent, magnetized cloud embedded in a steady, turbulent, low-density intercloud medium. The role of turbulent pressure in cloud confinement is clarified, and it is shown that, in the absence of a magnetic field, a cloud can be at a somewhat lower pressure than the intercloud medium. Simple forms for the magnetic term in the virial equation are obtained. Radiation pressure is considered; its effects are relatively small under average conditions in the interstellar medium. Under typical conditions, external pressure and magnetic fields are shown to have a relatively small effect on virial estimates of the mass of self-gravitating clouds.


A diffusion-reaction model for soil 14C02 is described that analyzes the 14C02 distribution in soils. It shows that the 14C content of soil CO2 is not the same as that of atmospheric CO;, and varies with depth depending on various factors. The most important factors affecting the 14C content of soil COZ include the 14C content of soil organic matter, the relative contribution of root respired CO2 to total COZ production, soil respiration rate, atmospheric CO2 concentration and 14C02 content, and soil properties such as temperature and moisture content etc. The 14C content of soil CO2 not only can be a sensitive indicator of the residence time of decomposing organic matter in the soil, but also determines the 14C content of pedogenic carbonate. Our model suggests that soil CO2 could be enriched or depleted in 14C relative to atmospheric CO*, depending on the relative contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration and on the turnover rate of the soil organic matter contributing to the soil CO*. Therefore, the initial 14C dates of soil carbonate could differ from the true ages of pedogenesis. The processes and factors considered bv the model are a first steo in determining whether the 14C content of soil carbonate could lead to reliable dates of pedogenesis.


Purpose: To describe the use of nepafenac 0.1% for cystoid macular edema (CME). Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective review of 22 CME cases (20 patients) treated with nepafenac 0.1% (six with concomitant prednisolone acetate 1%) from December 2005 to April 2008: three acute pseudophakic CME cases, 13 chronic/recalcitrant pseudophakic CME cases, and six cases of uveitic CME. Pre- and post-treatment retinal thickness and visual acuity were reported. Results: Following treatment for six weeks to six months, six eyes with uveitic CME showed a mean retinal thickness improvement of 227 ± 168.1 μm; mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improvement was 0.36 ± 0.20 logMAR. All three cases of acute pseudophakic CME improved after four to 10 weeks of nepafenac, with a mean improvement in retinal thickness of 134 ± 111.0 μm. BCVA improved in two patients (0.16 and 0.22 logMAR) but not in the third due to underlying retinal pigment epithelium changes. Thirteen eyes with chronic/recalcitrant pseudophakic CME demonstrated a mean improvement in retinal thickness of 178 ± 128.7 μm after nepafenac and mean BCVA improvement of 0.33 ± 0.19 logMAR. Conclusion: The positive outcomes of these 22 eyes strongly suggest that nepafenac 0.1% is a promising drug for the treatment of CME. Additional study under randomized controlled conditions is warranted.

INTRODUCTION
Kids' Take on Media is a national study of Canadian children's and adolescents' experience with media.

METHOD
The survey was designed and conducted by ERIN Research in spring, 2003 for the Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF) following consultation with the Media Awareness Network (MNet), and with funding from the National Crime Prevention Centre, Justice Canada.

RESULTS
While there is an extensive literature on the links between media violence and behaviour, this survey asks kids directly what they think: How attractive is media violence? Have they seen other kids imitate violent acts that they saw in the media? Do kids see media violence as harmful?

CONCLUSION
Parental supervision of media use and family discussion of media issues have significant effects on kids' opinion regarding media violence. When families and significant others provide a framework for thinking about violence in media, kids are better equipped to assess an negative impact.


Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) gene which controls the fecundity of Inverdale ewes and Hanna ewes was studied as a candidate gene for the prolificacy of Small Tail Han sheep and Hu sheep. Polymorphism of BMP15 gene was detected in both high fecundity sheep breeds (Small Tail Han sheep and Hu sheep) and low fecundity sheep breeds (Suffolk sheep and Dorset sheep) by PCR-RFLP.The results show that both V31D mutation in Inverdale ewes and Q23Ter mutation in Hanna ewes of BMP15 gene do not exist in Small Tail Han sheep, Hu sheep, Suffolk sheep and Dorset sheep,and the mutation with significant effect on fecundity of Inverdale ewes and Hanna ewes has no significant effect on prolificacy of both Small Tail Han sheep and Hu sheep.

This study investigates the determinants of disparities in inward foreign direct investment (FDI) among the three macro-regions of China. A pooled ordinary least squares model (POLS) is employed using a panel dataset at the provincial level. Variations in economic openness (government's preferential policies) and industrial and economic development in terms of market size, human resources, agglomeration and infrastructure are the prime causes of the uneven regional distribution of FDI, which further widens income and economic development inequalities among the three macro-regions. To reduce the degree of regional disparity, the government should offer more extensive preferential policies attracting FDI, especially in energy, transport, resources, high and new technology industries, into the inland regions and increase government investment in education and infrastructure in these areas.


An expression for the coefficient of giant quantum attenuation of sound is obtained, which includes the effects of both the fluctuation of the gas-liquid transition and the impurity scattering. The observed anomalous temperature dependence of the peak value of attenuation of sound is explained by the present theory as the effect of the fluctuation of the gas-liquid type transition, the critical temperature of which is calculated to be around 0.2 K. Other aspects of the experiment are also compared with the present theory. The behavior of the system below the critical temperature is discussed.

In this study we examined 100 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins to determine if lifestyle differences between control and experimental twins affected lifespan and health. We used the twin database of the Russian Humanitarian Scientific Foundation. The dependent variables were the difference in lifespan and the number of socially significant diseases between control and experimental twins. The independent variables were the differences within different psychosocial factors (education, family, children, career, prosocial behavior, religiousness, residence, relocations) between control and experimental twins. Using the ANOVA test, we obtained that career (F=11.12, p=0.000), education (F=3.272, p=0.042), living in a large city (F=6.674, p=0.008), having family (F=3.926, p=0.023) and relocations (F=3.757, p=0.046) increased lifespan. For women, one of the most significant positive factors that increased lifespan was education (F=5.992, p=0.005). For men, relocation (F=7.835, p=0.027) was one of the most significant factors that increased lifespan. Having family significantly reduced the number of socially significant diseases (F=3.477, p=0.035). Although this study represents statistically significant data showing that distinct lifestyles have different effects on lifespan and health, future studies with a database of a larger amount of MZ twin pairs are needed to confirm this data.


Today the relations between the European Union (EU) and the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as Russia) are more complex than ever. Geopolitical situations on the global stage, happened in the past as well as going on in the present moment, shape the relationship between the European Union and Russia. However, in a market-dominated world, where the strongest and most stable economy has the biggest say, cooperation (economically and politically) between powerful state (-like) actors is highly favoured. Consequently, the question occurs what factors shape the relationship between these two actors and how can this relationship be titled in a complex and intertwined world.
Divided into four chapters, this research sought to describe the EU-Russia political relations of today in times of tension, which derive from the Ukraine crisis, therefore, the two contrasting sides of cooperation and non-cooperation were highlighted. Concluding, their relations were described as a potential partnership which is, at the present time, on hold. Overall, the relationship between the EU and Russia can be titled Janus-faced, since two sharply contrasting characteristics are carried out simultaneously.


Japan has a variety of volcanic ash soils that cause complicated geotechnical engineering problems in all the regions of the islands, i.e., in Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Chugoku and Kyushu. The distribution of volcanic ground was widespread and each volcanoes has acted numerously over geological time. In Hokkaido, Japan, there are over forty Quaternary volcanoes, and pyroclastic materials cover over 40 % of its area. Sedimentary structure, components, distributional area and degrees of the weathering greatly differ with the depositional environment. Therefore, it is anticipated that the mechanical property of volcanic soil grounds will be diverged. Such volcanic soils have been also used as useful construction materials, especially man-made earth structures (embankments and cut slopes, etc.). However, a large number of earthquake- and rainfall-induced failures of artificial slopes such as cut slopes or embankments have been reported in Hokkaido, Japan. Examples include embankment slope failures due to the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake, cut slope failure on the Hokkaido Expressway (1999) due to rainfall and snow-thaw water in the spring. Therefore, volcanic soils have been classified as "problematic soils" in Japan engineering researches. Notwithstanding, the research on volcanic soils from the engineering standpoint is extremely superficial in comparison with cohesion and cohesionless soils.


By the law No. 44/1999 on the special status of the Aceh Province and the law No. 18/2001 on the special status of Aceh as the province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam became a special autonomous which has authority to implement the islamic las (sha'ria). The implementation of the sha'ria in NAD is accomodated in the Local Regulation No. 5/2000. The sha'ria is implemented in the society life and is formulated in the legal matters, include the criminal law. Every Moslems who live in Aceh has an obligation to practisce the sha'ria, while, for other the non-moslem, they shall show their respect to it. NAD Government has enacted six local regulations (as known Qanun) which are relevant to laws and court in the sha'ria. This article discusses the relevance of the sha'ria with the Indonesian national criminal law, in term of its substances and procedures.


Abstract:This essay explores how and with what effect Amy Bailey, a teacher, women's rights activist, and public intellectual, cofounded the Housecraft Training Centre to educate working-class Jamaican women in cooking, cleaning, childcare, and other "domestic sciences." Newspaper articles, unpublished interviews, and other texts reveal that Bailey used the center to articulate a vision of working-class black ladyhood that advanced black women's sense of racial dignity by valorizing elitist, patriarchal narratives at work in 1950s Jamaica. In doing so, Bailey ultimately fostered, as well as stymied, the possibility that Jamaica would come to realize what its national ethos professed—that it was an increasingly plural, prosperous, and egalitarian state well positioned for political independence from Britain.


Structural steel shows significant vulnerability to fire hazard because of its inherent lower resistance to elevated temperature. So, to lessen any catastrophic effect, the fire endurance time of a structural steel needs to be increased by providing adequate insulation such as concrete encasement against temperature rise. The recent growth in usage of steel as construction material obligates studying the actual behavior of steel members when exposed to fire. SAFIR, a SiF (Structure-in-Fire) modeling software can be used to analyze some typical steel column sections under fire to discuss and provide quantifications of their general traits. The study involved thermal analysis of the W and HSS type steel sections of varying weight to exposed area (W/D) ratio considering a standard ISO fire curve. In addition, the W sections were also analyzed with varying thickness of concrete encasement to observe and quantify possible enhancement in fire resistance. The obtained results show temperature rise up to certain failure limit within a very short period of time, in case of all steel sections without protection. However, the decreasing W/D ratio has adverse impact on the time required to reach the failure temperature. The study also provides insight on probable cover dimensions for a target fire rating of steel sections.

This paper offers an alternative view of normative segmentation and suggests some modifications to standard segmentation practice that are necessary for decision making.


Gan and Vernon's comment does not resolve the puzzle that we originally posed. Their description of the puzzle is unclear, so we start by restating it. The essence of the matter is this. Imagine two households, one of which is larger than the other, for example, containing the same age and sex composition of people, but with twice as many of everyone. Imagine too that both households have the same level of per capita total household expenditure so that, in the example, the household with twice as many people spends twice as much in total. If there are economies of scale, the second household is better off. While it is possible for it to maintain exactly the same expenditure pattern as the smaller household, with everyone having the same of everything, it can also rearrange its purchases to take advantage of the differential economies of scale in different goods. Because food is a normal good, we would expect the larger household to spend more per capita on food. This is especially so in poor countries, where there are few substitutes for food, so that there is limited opportunity for substituting away from food toward goods with greater economies of scale. The evidence contradicts this prediction. We looked at household survey data from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Taiwan, Thailand, Pakistan, and South Africa. In all cases, and with per capita expenditures held constant, larger households have lower per capita food consumption, and the reduction with household size is greatest in the poorest countries. What do Gan and Vernon do? They show that, for the United States, Russia, and South Africa, when they increase household size holding constant per capita total expenditure, the per capita demand for housing falls more rapidly than the per capita demand for food. The same is also true for various combinations of housing and other goods, compared with food alone or food combined with clothing. This is correct, and such results can be inferred from table 5 (p. 920) of our original paper. But these findings do not address the central puzzle, which is that larger households that are (more than) fully compensated for their


The generalized theta graph ?s1, ?, sk consists of a pair of endvertices joined by k internally disjoint paths of lengths s1, ?, sk?1. We prove that the roots of the chromatic polynomial ?(?s1, ?, sk, z) of a k-ary generalized theta graph all lie in the disc|z?1|?1+o(1)]k/logk, uniformly in the path lengths si. Moreover, we prove that ?2, ?, 2?K2, k indeed has a chromatic root of modulus 1+o(1)]k/logk. Finally, for k?8 we prove that the generalized theta graph with a chromatic root that maximizes |z?1| is the one with all path lengths equal to 2; we conjecture that this holds for all k.


Any of neutrinos similarly to a kind of charged lepton has a non-zero mass responsible as well as for its Coulomb behavior. Such a neutrino can possess both electric charge and vector dipole moment. Their form factors appear, for example, at the polarized neutrino scattering in the field of a spinless nucleus. We derive an equation which relates the masses to a ratio of Dirac and Pauli form factors of each lepton and its neutrino. A new left-right antisymmetric theory of force unification based on a gauge group $SU(2)_{L}$ $\otimes$ $SU(2)_{R}$ $\otimes$ $U(1)$ is suggested. In this theory, the leptons and their neutrinos are united in families not only of the left-handed $SU(2)_{L}$-doublets, but also of the right-handed $SU(2)_{R}$-doublets. Thereby, it predicts the existence in nature of the left (right) dileptons and paradileptons. A formation of any of them is responsible for the legality of conservation of charge, lepton flavors and full lepton number. Therefore, each of the earlier measured processes originated at the conservation both of summed electric charge and of any lepton number may serve as the first confirmation of a given theory in which the mass, charge and vector dipole moment of the neutrino are proportional, respectively, to the mass, charge and vector dipole moment of a lepton of the same family.


The outmanoeuvring of Allied forces in May 1940 led to the eventual evacuation of the BEF from the continent in June 1940. Fearing an invasion, GHQ Home Forces set about the rapid re-militarisation of the UK to oppose, arguably, the first very real threat to this country's sovereignty since the Norman conquest of 1066 AD. Constructing a series of anti-invasion defences throughout the countryside, a network of defensive fieldworks and concrete gun emplacements were erected, with linear stop lines forming part of the overall stratagem for a countrywide defence in depth. Examining one particular linear stop line, GHQ Line Green, despite previous research into its archaeological route through the landscape several questions still remain unanswered - Did the proposed wartime route for the stop line match the documented archaeology? Did the defensive fieldworks conform to 1940 WO specifications, or were they similar in design to the linear fieldworks of the First World War? Did GHQ Line Green dismiss the defensive 'folly' notion of the Maginot Line by being strategically sited in the Bristol hinterland? A prepared battlefield that never faced the unpredictable test of conflict, evidence offered by original cartographic, archaeological and GIS 'Fields-of- Fire' analysis concluded that the GHQ Line Green was strategically placed in the landscape. In ideal conditions GHQ Line Green could have had limited success in slowing down an invasion force. This dismisses the notion that the stop line was a defensive 'folly'. With its origins found to lay in First World War fortifications, the research undertaken for this thesis will further our understanding of an often forgotten Second World War landscape.


Objective: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened an interdisciplinary working group of experts to develop recommendations for the assessment and treatment of depression in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Method: Consensus of experts. Results: Our current recommendations are that the Beck Depression Inventory-I be employed for epidemiological studies of depression and CHD, that the Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item version be employed for screening for trial eligibility, that the Depression Interview and Structured Hamilton (DISH) be employed for diagnostic ascertainment for trial inclusion, and that the Hamilton rating scale, which is part of the DISH, be employed for both depression symptom reduction and the remission criterion in any trial. We further recommend that a randomized controlled trial be undertaken to determine whether selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, psychotherapy, or combined treatment can reduce the risk of CHD events and mortality associated with depression in CHD patients. Conclusions: This report summarizes the recommendations made by the working group and discusses the rationale for each recommendation, the strengths and weaknesses of alternative approaches to assessment and treatment, and the implications for future research in this area.

This chapter proposes that the way forward will be a prosperous and sustainable agriculture sector deeply rooted in the concept of sustainable intensification (SI): producing more with less, using inputs like seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides more prudently, adapting to climate change, reducing GHG emissions, improving natural capital such as soil moisture capacity and the diversity of pests' enemies, and building resilience. One approach to SI is to employ precision agriculture, ensuring that inputs—whether nutrients, pesticides, seeds, or water—are used in a precise, sparing, effective, and strategic way in order to minimize their environmental impact. Thus microdosing permits the prudent, targeted use of inputs such as fertilizers, thereby improving soil quality and moisture while reducing the environmental impact that excessive use can cause. It also reduces costs and helps improve nutrient use efficiency and protection against drought. Precision farming focuses on just one aspect of SI. More generally, it is a concept that includes three mutually reinforcing pillars: ecological intensification, genetic intensification, and socioeconomic intensification.


We present the numerical calculations of spin wave dispersions in magnetic nanostructures. The dispersion is obtained by processing the space–time data calculated using the finite difference method based micromagnetic simulations. Various issues related to the calculation of the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform and methods to obtain high-quality dispersion curves are discussed. The spatial profile of the spin wave modes is also presented. The method is validated by applying it to various nanomagnetic systems including magnetic nanostripes, magnetic nanowires and confined thin film elements. Further, we calculate the magnonic dispersions in simple 1D and 2D magnonic crystals based on magnetic anti-dot arrays.

Habits of mind, such as attentiveness, curiosity, and presence, are fundamental to effective medical practice and physician wellbeing. In this second of two articles about mindfulness, I propose an 8-fold method for promoting mindful practice in medicine: (a) Priming—setting the expectation of selfobservation, (b) Availability—creating physical and mental space for exchange, (c) Reflective questions to open up possibilities and invite curiosity, (d) Active engagement— direct observation and exchange, (e) Modeling while "thinking out loud" to make mental processes more transparent, (f) Practicing attentiveness, curiosity, and presence, (g) Praxis—consolidation of learning by experience, and (h) Assessment and confirmation. I include examples from medicine, music, and meditation.


On what grounds should a transportation mode be endorsed? If the basis of choice is relative energy use, we would want to examine the BTU'S of input per passenger mile of travel. The most efficient machine would produce the greatest output for each unit of fuel input. However, if we also want to consider economic criteria, not only would we like to reduce the consumption of energy, but also of other scarce inputs of value, such as labor and capital. It is clear that each mode has its own inherent values and limitations. This article will briefly address each in terms of the question: "Should we drive automobiles in town or should we use bicycles instead?" In 1981, personal automobiles accounted for 28.8% of all oil consumption in the United States (DOE, 1981) and 53% of all energy used in transportation. Moreover, the car was used for 79% of all trips to work, whereas the bicycle was used for only one percent. Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, bicycles accounted for 17% of all urban trips; in Rotterdam, the figure was 43% (Gross et al., 1979). Fuel prices have historically been higher in European countries, where lower rates of automobile ownership also prevail. Could there exist a causal relationship between energy use, economics and transportation choice?


"The computer is an important tool – no one could do without it – but for me it's a tool and it doesn't replace thinking. It can make you disconnected and autistic, and that is why we always say, bring it out of the computer, print it up, use paper, use the physicalities and models to understand and anticipate what this thing will be in the end: something physical, something real, something for the people."1 Pierre de Meuron


The FeAl intermetallic compound coating with good surface quality has been synthesized by laser beam on 45 steel substrate with optimal process parameters.The results show that the treatment of multi-track overlapping for the coating has no effects on phase constituent of the coating.The microstructure of the outer layer(about one-third thickness of the whole coating) of the coating is a small amount of the black needle-like FeAl_3 distributed within the FeAl matrix with the grey and the white alternating,while there is only FeAl existing in the inner layer.The crystal morphology of FeAl is dendritic,white dendrites are Fe-rich,and grey interdendritics are Al-rich.The interface between the coating and the substrate is distinct and knaggy.The composition analysis results of the EDS line scanning show that the contents of Fe and Al begin to gradually transit by inches from the site of one-third thickness of the whole coating,transit more obviously in the bonded zone than in the synthesized zone,but the transition gradient is not too steep,illustrating that the atoms of constituent elements of the coating and the substrate diffuse each other,and the coating is metallurgically bonded to the substrate.The hardness of the laser-synthesized FeAl coating reaches 565 HV0.025,1.7 times higher than that of the substrate.

Electric Orbit Raising (EOR) for telecommunication satellites has allowed significant reduction in on-board fuel mass, at the price of extended transfer durations. These relatively long transfers, which usually span a few months, cross large spans of the radiation belts, resulting in significant exposure of the spacecraft to space radiations. Since they are not very populated, the radiation environment of intermediate regions of the radiation belts is less constrained than on popular orbits such as LEO or GEO on standard environment models. In particular, there is a need for more specific models for the MeV energy range proton fluxes, responsible for solar arrays degradations, and hence critical for EOR missions. As part of the ESA ARTES program, ONERA has developed a specification model of proton fluxes dedicated for EOR missions. This model is able to estimate the average proton fluxes between 60 keV and 20MeV on arbitrary trajectories on the typical durations of EOR transfers. A global statistical model of the radiation belts was extracted from the Van Allen Probes (RBSP) RBSPICE data. For regions with no or low sampling, simulation results from the Salammbô radiation belt model were used. A special care was taken to model the temporal dynamics of the belts on the considered mission durations. A Gaussian Process (GP) model was developed, allowing to compute analytically the distribution of the average fluxes on arbitrary mission durations. Satellites trajectories can be flown in the resulting global distribution, yielding the proton flux spectrum distribution as seen by the spacecraft. We show results of the model on a typical EOR trajectory. The obtained fluxes are compared to the standard AP8 model, the AP9 model, and validated using the THEMIS satellites data.We illustrate the expected e ect on solar cell degradation, where our model is showing an increase of up to 20% degradation prediction compared to AP8.

The aim of this work consists of the evaluation of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharges for the conversion of greenhouse gases into useful compounds. Therefore, pure CO2 feed flows are administered to the discharge zone at varying discharge frequency, power input, gas temperature and feed flow rates, aiming at the formation of CO and O2. The discharge obtained in CO2 is characterized as a filamentary mode with a microdischarge zone in each half cycle of the applied voltage. It is shown that the most important parameter affecting the CO2-conversion levels is the gas flow rate. At low flow rates, both the conversion and the CO-yield are significantly higher. In addition, also an increase in the gas temperature and the power input give rise to higher conversion levels, although the effect on the CO-yield is limited. The optimum discharge frequency depends on the power input level and it cannot be unambiguously stated that higher frequencies give rise to increased conversion levels. A maximum CO2 conversion of 30% is achieved at a flow rate of 0.05 L min−1, a power density of 14.75 W cm−3 and a frequency of 60 kHz. The most energy efficient conversions are achieved at a flow rate of 0.2 L min−1, a power density of 11 W cm−3 and a discharge frequency of 30 kHz.

The present study will focus on varied correspondences while comparing and contrasting the fluidity of Whitman's verse in his Leaves of Grass (1855) —leading up to his Civil War section Drum-Taps (1865)— with the posthumous poems of Cesar Vallejo; focusing on his collection Espana, aparta de mi este caliz (1939), as seen through the chronological filter of the late symbolist movement propelled by Mallarme, whose motifs were succinctly appropriated by the Peruvian to deploy his poetics of "cross-outs", as suggested by vallejista Julio Ortega. A background of political reportage presented by both Vallejo and Whitman will emphasize their connection through militance in their respective Civil War years, as this stage will be taken conclusively into account to point out the unwavering admiration the Andean poet held for his North American counterpart.
Keywords: American poetry; modernism; Walt Whitman; Cesar Vallejo; civil war, vanguard.


Purpose
This paper aims to explore the issue of digital adoption within a business and its impact on employees and to argue that digital adoption is as much a challenge for Human Resources (HR) as it is for Information Technology (IT).

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is based on Felix Eichler's experience as the co-founder and CTO of Userlane, a business that has helped hundreds of organisations accelerate their digital transformation efforts by improving software adoption amongst employees.

Findings
Technology adoption in a business is as much an HR issue as it is an IT one. This is because is many cases, use of technology is closely linked to productivity and overall employee satisfaction. Businesses can overcome slow adoption by implementing an embedded, inclusive and practical approach to software training.

Originality/value
This paper sheds light on the often overlooked issue of digital adoption and supports the emerging viewpoint that HR teams need to be more actively involved in supporting technology transformation within a business.


This paper presents a method for subdividing the total flood hydrograph into separate hydrographs for surface, subsurface, and ground-water runoff. A unit hydrograph is derived by considering surface and subsurface runoff contributing simultaneously by unit time periods. The total flood hydrograph as modified by a land-use program is computed by using the above derived unit hydrograph, ground-water relations, and changes in land use.


Abstract Temporary shelters are extensively used by emergency services (rescue, disaster relief, military response) and other end-users requiring temporary mobile power solutions for different purposes (event organization, vacation homes, summer camps, etc.). The Covid-19 pandemics resulted in an increase of motor homes worldwide sales. When temporary shelter connection to power grid is impossible, the off-grid liquid fossil fuel generator can be used for electricity generation. Since the liquid fuel supply is often limited, the stock of fuel requires storage that may pose an explosion risk. Quickly installable and energy-efficient ventilation / cooling system with heat recovery is essential to ensure adequate air hygiene and occupants' comfort in temporary structure. This paper presents a mobile modular electric energy generating unit with photovoltaic (PV) panels for providing temporary shelters (tents) in Latvian climate conditions with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). All calculations were performed using the computer model developed with TRNSYS tool and based on real data from mobile modular energy unit for spring, summer and autumn 2020 and winter 2021. The results show that mobile modular energy unit can be successfully applied for off-grid HVAC system operation of temporary shelters in the Latvian climate conditions.


A waterproof anti-exposure suit for protection from adverse weather, as well as water and insect bites, is described. Over the years investigators have worn various types of apparel to protect themselves while searching in water for immature stages of aquatic arthropods. For work in shallow water, sneakers, various types of rubber shoes, and rubber hip boots have been worn. For work in water waist to shoulder deep, bathing suits, scuba suits, and waders have been utilized. Such apparel has been more or less satisfactory except in inclement weather. However, in below-freezing weather none of it has 422 Journal of Wildlife Management, Vol. 30, No. 2, April 1966 Fig. 1. Using the Type R-1A Anti-Exposure Suit in 32 F running water while collecting black fly larvae. been adequate, with the result the investigations during cold weather have always been limited. This lack of adequate clothing was acutely felt when the 1965 studies relating to the biology and ecology of black flies ( Simuliidae: Diptera ) were begun at the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Seney, Michigan, during the latter part of March and the first 3 weeks in April, 1965. The ground and the banks of the streams were covered with snow and ice and heavy outer clothing was necessary. The only thing that could be worn over this clothing for water protection was a pair of waist-high rubber waders. These gave enough protection in the less turbulent and shallower waters, but to work in the deeper, faster flowing streams was impossible because the water would have gone over the tops of the waders. George Orlich of the Seney Refuge maintenance staff suggested to the writer that U. S. Air Force Coverall Anti-Exposure Suits might be good substitutes for the waders. These suits, obtained as surplus, had not been tried at the Refuge to determine their effectiveness for aquatic work. One of them was put to immediate test and found to be admirably suited to the work, far superior to anythmg else known to me. The "Coverall, Anti-Exposure, Suit Flying, Type R-1A" is a complete single piece, waterproof, neoprene-coated nylon garment that comes with an attached hood and neoprene-coated nylon mittens lined with wool. The feet of the garment are coated with hard rubber, enabling one to walk over stones, gravel, fallen trees, and other stream debris in comfort and without damage to the suit. The suits come in extra large sizes so they can be worn over warm inner and outer clothing and over various types of leather and rubber boots during very cold weather. At the waist and ankles are adjustable webbed straps; at the wrists are gripper straps. When the sleeves are fastened over the tops of the mittens the suit is completely watertight up to the neck. The Anti-Exposure Suit also affords excellent protection from insect bites, which can be a problem quite early in the year. I have used it with satisfaction even in midsummer at Seney. With the Type R-1A Anti-Exposure Suit I was able to accomplish a great deal of aquatic research which would have been impossible with any other type of protective clothing during the early spring months. Both my technician and I have worn the suits for several weeks at a stretch, in debrisfilled streams, without any difficulties. While working in fast flowing or deep water, it is also advisable to use a CO2 Cartridge Mae West Type Life Preserver Vest and a long lifeline of manila or hemp rope, attached to a sturdy tree along the shore and to the waist of the person in the stream. This lifeline is not only a good safety factor, but has proved to be of great assistance to work in the water. Received for publication September 20, 1965.

The COVID-19 disease wreaked havoc all over the world causing more than 6 million deaths out of over 519 million confirmed cases. It not only disturbed the human race health-wise but also caused huge economic losses and social disturbances. The utmost urgency to counter pandemic was to develop effective vaccines as well as treatments that could reduce the incidences of infection, hospitalization and deaths. The most known vaccines that could help in managing these parameters are Oxford-AstraZeneca (AZD1222), Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2), Moderna (mRNA-1273) and Johnson & Johnson (Ad26.COV2.S). The effectiveness of AZD1222 vaccine in reducing deaths is 88% in the age group 40-59 years, touching 100% in the age group 16-44 years & 65-84 years. BNT162b2 vaccine also did well in reducing deaths due to COVID-19 (95% in the age group 40-49 years and 100% in the age group 16-44 years. Similarly, mRNA-1273 vaccine showed potential in reducing COVID-19 deaths with effectiveness ranging from 80.3 to 100% depending upon age group of the vaccinated individuals. Ad26.COV2.S vaccine was also 100% effective in reducing COVID-19 deaths. The SARS-CoV-2 emerging variants have emphasized the need of booster vaccine doses to enhance protective immunity in vaccinated individuals. Additionally, therapeutic effectiveness of Molnupiravir, Paxlovid and Evusheld are also providing resistance against the spread of COVID-19 disease as well as may be effective against emerging variants. This review highlights the progress in developing COVID-19 vaccines, their protective efficacies, advances being made to design more efficacious vaccines, and presents an overview on advancements in developing potent drugs and monoclonal antibodies for countering COVID-19 and emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 including the most recently emerged and highly mutated Omicron variant.

The bestiality episode in Apuleius' Metamorphoses (10.19.3-22.5) is unique in extant Latin literature and has generated interest among scholars as to why Apuleius included it. These studies have centred on the main character, Lucius, and the relationship between this episode and the broader theme of animal/human duality throughout the novel. However, the function of the woman in the episode has tended to be subsumed into these discussions. The question of whether or not the woman of the bestiality episode is exercising bestial or human lusts is important in interpreting the women in the novel in general. She therefore needs a study devoted to her and the representation of her sexuality. This study will show that, in her case, her lust for an ass is human rather than bestial, and this illustrates the wider issues in the novel concerning the insatiability of female sexual nature and the dangers (from the male point of view) of female control over their own sexuality.

This article presents a brief description of the normative mental development of the elder preschool children: features hemispheric interaction between the cerebral hemispheres, dynamic, spatial and motor praxis, memory, visual-objective, visual-spatial and acoustic-verbal gnosis and originality of speech, thought and attention. Besides, this article illuminates analysis of the interim data obtained in the course of neuropsychological investigation of cerebral organization of mental functions among preschoolers whose mothers have an anamnesis of various risk factors of perinatal pathology of the fetus. The analysis of the data illustrates that very often agenda had difficulties in carrying out tests for visual gnosis, audio-verbal memory, dynamic and spatial praxis. Also it was hard for children to compile stories for narrative paintings and series of narrative pictures. Besides, it was recorded that the majority of children have shown attention fatigue and instability of attention and the high level of exhaustion. So the interim results received on this level of experimental research illustrate the existence of tendency of defection in the process of formation of high psychic functions among children with different risk of development of perinatal pathology in their anamnesis. But in the cause of the insufficiency of experimental data it is to early to make strict conclusions concerning the concrete consequences of the different perinatal risks for brain organization of child's psychic activity.

The Wingate Anaerobic test (WAT)) is the most popular test for estimation a person's anaerobic capacity. Because anaerobic performance is important for many athletes, the most well-known application of the Wingate test is in sports medicine. But there is also more. The Wingate test is especially useful for children with chronic diseases like Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes and Muscle Dystrophy. Another application is to test the increasing obese population. The test is based on cycling at maximal intensity, for 30 seconds, against a high braking force. This force remains constant throughout the test but, because it is so high, the subject cannot maintain the initial velocity for more than a few seconds, before starting to slow down. Some new devices enable fast sampling of load and other measured data and therefore is possible gain more information from test. In this paper the mathematical models based on data gained from WAT are described. The linear models based on system identification are used.

The formation cause of high-order wheel polygonization of high-speed trains is investigated. A modelling of wheelset/track interaction based on the finite element method (FEM) is set up. The stability of the wheelset-track system (WTS) is studied by using the complex eigenvalue analysis (CEA) based on the modal coupling theory. The dynamic response of the wheelset rolling on the rails is simulated by the transient dynamic analysis (TDA). The results show that the friction-induced vibration (FIV) of the WTS at about 540 Hz, which is composed of the fifth-order bending mode of the wheel axle and the antisymmetric yaw of the wheels, is the principal cause of the 23-order wheel polygon. The frequency of the FIV responsible for the 23-order polygonal wear hardly changes with the vehicle speed and the coefficient of friction (COF) between the wheel and rail, which coincides with the fact that the wheel polygon of high-speed trains in China tends to be frequency-fixed. The order of wheel polygon is inversely proportional to vehicle speed. The higher the wheel-rail COF and the vehicle speed, the faster the wheel polygonization evolves.


Efficiency of dredging work depends on the types of equipment used, the sediments encountered, whether the work to be performed is new or for maintenance, pre and/or post hydrographic surveying and so forth. Among those, surveying accuracy which is directly determined by the control of the dredge`s position and depth surveying accuracy being surveyed at the dredging point are important factors. The purpose of this study is to develop an integrated process management system for pump dredge. The system is composed of 4 sub-systems such as LADGPS for dredge positioning dredging point determination, tidal gauge and angular depth sensor for depth determination, and GIS and ENC process management. The process management system for pump dredge developed was installed on the pump dredge "EUNJIN PD-2" but is now producing work data for comparison with performance of the existing dredge.

Objective: To observe the effects of doxazosin enantiomers(R-doxazosin,S-doxazosin and rac-doxazosin) on contractile and relaxant responses of the trachea rings isolated from guinea pig.Methods: Effects of doxazosin enantiomers on the resting tension,contractile response to carbachol and relaxant response to isoprenaline were observed in the tracheal rings isolated from guinea pig.Results: Doxazosin enantiomers at 10~30 μmol·L-1 did not affect the resting tension of trachea rings(P0.05).S-Doxazosin at 10 μmol·L-1 significantly increased the Emax of the contractile response to carbachol(P0.05), but did not affect the EC50 of carbachol.However,R-doxazosin at 10 μmol·L-1 significantly decreased the Emax of contractile response to carbachol(P0.05) and the EC50 of carbachol.S-Doxazosin at 10 μmol·L-1 significantly inhibited the relaxant responses to isoprenaline(P0.05) and increased the EC50 of isoprenaline.S-Doxazosin,R-doxazosin and rac-doxazosin at 30 μmol·L-1 had no effect on the relaxant responses to isoprenaline.Conclusion: S-Doxazosin increases the Emax of the contractile response to carbachol and inhibits the relaxant responses to isoprenaline in the trachea rings isolated from guinea pig.


The Purpose of this study is to investigate how information use contributes to learning. Conducted as part of a larger study, this study focuses on learning by analyzing students` use of cognitive skills during the Process of using information. Within the broad methodological framework of qualitative research in constructivist paradigm (Guba and Lincoln, 1998), the study applied the revised Bloom`s taxonomy (Anderson and Krathwohl, 2000) as a particular framework to understand the Phenomenon. Participants included 21 high school juniors in an honors` class of persuasive speech. The study`s combinational use of two techniques -concept mapping and individual interview - in a naturalistic setting Proved to be the unique methods for researching the reflection of information use in learning Products. The results revealed that changes in students` understanding occured in four types - simple, analytic, organizational, and holistic changes. The analysis using the revised Bloom`s taxonomy showed that a variety of cognitive skills were used during the whole process of information use and that the use of higher levels of cognitive skills is particularly crucial.


The present study was carried out on EL-Serw drain located between Dakahlia Governorate and Damietta Governorate to evaluate the effect of drainage water quality on chemical composition of soil and plants. EL-Serw drain passes through many villages dotted along it receiving their agricultural drainage water, domestic waste waters and industrial effluents. Water samples were seasonally collected from 6 sites along this drain (the beginning of the drain (0), 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 km.) during June 2012 to March 2014. The main obtained results are presented as follows:  Electrical conductivity (EC) values increased slightly with northward direction. Also, Sodium adsorption Ratio (SAR) took the same trend, the quality of studied drainage water belong to C3 S1 and C4 S2 classes and could be reused in irrigation purpose under special management.  Boron (B) concentration, at most of locations have low concentration (B1) < 3 mg L -1 which less than the critical limit indicating (slight to moderate for restriction on use).  Nitrate –N concentration was ranged from 5-30 ppm in the EL-Serw drain in two summer season 2012 at distance 0 to5 Km. and 2014 at distance 0 to 10 Km. whereas, the other sites had higher water than the critical limits.  Micronutrients and heavy metal ions concentrations (Fe, Mn, Zn and Pb) were less than permissible levels at all selected water samples.  Soil salinity and SAR values of soil increased as a result of using drainage water and the increasing of soil pH is related to salt content in irrigation water.  Using drainage water for irrigation, caused an increase in soil content of available micronutrients (Fe, Mn and Zn) whereas, heavy metals (Pb) was less than the permissible limit (500 mg Kg -1 ).  Concentrations of heavy metals and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Pb) in straw and grains of wheat and rice grown in the most locations were under the permissible limits except Pb and Fe concentration exceeds the critical levels in all locations.The concentration of heavy metals and micronutrients in straw of wheat and rice crops were higher than in the grain in all locations.  Zn and Mn concentrations were less than critical limits in all locations in shoot of clover plants and Pb and Fe concentrations were higher than critical limit in all locations.  Finally, the rice crop slightly affected by water quality than wheat and finally clover.


The popularity of the qualitative approach has recently increased. Especially in the social sciences (including the humanities), where this approach has its own place, although, the most important substance in science, namely the theory itself, is actually qualitative. This is further strengthened by the essence of a qualitative approach (in the social sciences of the humanities) which emphasizes the investigation of a social phenomenon and human problem. This article describes how a qualitative approach is used (particularly) in the science of history, as well as the various characteristics inherent in qualitative research which is so closely related to the science of history. This article was written using descriptive analytical method supported by literature study as the data mining process. From the results of the description, it is known that history as a family of humanities will inevitably (still) use a qualitative approach in its scientific description. This qualitative approach is in the form of a narrative-descriptive-analytical explanation of history, which makes history, apart from being a science, also a story. The task of history is to tell stories through narrative texts, so that a qualitative approach is embedded in the science of history.Keywords: Approach, Qualitative, Historical Science


The growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web has led to demand for Web extensions, such as the ability to run server-supplied code on a Web client. We examine the HotJava Web browser and the Java language in which it is implemented. We demonstrate several attacks that compromise HotJava's security. Some of these attacks are made possible through browser code that fails to enforce access permissions, but can be easily xed. Others point to underlying tension between the openness desired by Web application writers and the security desired by their users. We discuss the interaction of application requirements and security needs and suggest how they can both be accommodated.


In recent years, knowledge distillation (KD) has been widely used to derive efficient models. Through imitating a large teacher model, a lightweight student model can achieve comparable performance with more efficiency. However, most existing knowledge distillation methods are focused on classification tasks. Only a limited number of studies have applied knowledge distillation to object detection, especially in time-sensitive autonomous driving scenarios. In this paper, we propose Adaptive Instance Distillation (AID) to selectively impart teacher's knowledge to the student to improve the performance of knowledge distillation. Unlike previous KD methods that treat all instances equally, our AID can attentively adjust the distillation weights of instances based on the teacher model's prediction loss. We verified the effectiveness of our AID method through experiments on the KITTI and the COCO traffic datasets. The results show that our method improves the performance of state-of-the-art attention-guided and non-local distillation methods and achieves better distillation results on both single-stage and two-stage detectors. Compared to the baseline, our AID led to an average of 2.7% and 2.1% mAP increases for single-stage and two-stage detectors, respectively. Furthermore, our AID is also shown to be useful for self-distillation to improve the teacher model's performance.


In spite of the abundance of definitions of central massifs, there is no integration of data Khain and Sheynmann (1960) define the central massifs as a residual province of older cycles within a progressive folding system. They note such provinces tend to be remodeled by the younger movements, yet retain their basic "setup" while exerting influence on the surrounding rocks. Central massifs may be classified into: 1) blocks of ancient Precambrian platforms, 2) blocks of Paleozoic or Mesozoic folded structures within younger geosynclinal system and 3) provinces of early consolidation which serve as "growth centers" within a geosynclinal system. Despite the differences in origin and age of central massifs, they have many common features. All are within geosynclinal belts and serve to divide them into segments; they are polygonal to diamond-shaped and are bounded by deep rifts with "flows" of ultrabasic to basic magma. As a rule, there are three periods of development of a massif with a single tectonic cycle:...


In the first issue of the Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research, it was described the importance of calculating, indicating and interpreting the effect sizes for the differences between means of two groups. The PJBSR intends to continue to remind of the importance of reporting effect sizes for other statistical tests. The magnitude of the strength of the relationships was not indicated in the previous paper, and it may not be known that correlation is an effect size. Thus, this paper intends to provide some guidelines to the authors on the procedures for calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient and some correlation coefficients for special data (Spearman Rho, Kendall's Tau, Point-biserial and biserial, Phi, Cramer's V, and Eta).For this purpose, the formulas, steps in the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), assumptions and precautions, classification of values and their interpretation will be presented. Since SPSS does not compute all the mentioned coefficients, five spreadsheets (3 ways of comparing correlations, point-biserial and biserial, and correction of correlations for samples < 60) were included in the article supplements.

This paper shows that expected loss development is equivalent to adjusting the full credibility standard and applying credibility by policy period. Expected loss development should not be used in workers' compensation ratemaking. The credibility is correct before being adjusted.


A population of Umbonia ataliba (Homoptera: Membracidae) located between 1300 and 1500 m in Monteverde, Costa Rica was studied from October to November 2006. The maternal defensive behavior exhibited by these subsocial insects toward nymphs of different developmental stages was experimentally investigated. The purpose of my study was to determine how the defensive behavior changed from eggs to adults and in response to two different predator types. I attached dead wasps to long wooden sticks and then simulated predator approaches toward family groups of eggs, second instar and fourth instars nymphs. I found that the defensive behavior by females guarding nymphs of different ages differed from random in type and frequency. I determined that female parents with second instars were the most aggressive, and that the most common behavior type among all groups proved to be kicking. In regards to the behavior changes exhibited against predator types, females were generally more aggressive when approached with the black wasp, but there was no significant change in the frequency of behaviors.


Background: Coronavirus disease is an infectious disease caused by newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which spread rapidly throughout the world. Vaccines will provide a lasting solution by enhancing immunity and containing disease spread. This study was conducted to find out vaccination status among Covid-19 positive patients and correlate severity of infections with vaccination status.
Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out among 1218 Covid-19 positive patients that were positive after the launch of Covid-19 vaccine, selected by purposive sampling method. Data was collected using pretested semi structured proforma.
Results: Covid-19 vaccination coverage was very low (10.03%) in Covid-19 positive patients, for single dose it was 8.38% and for two doses it was 1.65%. Asymptomatic and mild cases were more in vaccinated compared to unvaccinated, it was statistically significant. Though hospitalization in vaccinated was less it was not significant. There was no death among vaccinated cases.
Conclusion: Vaccination coverage were very low, this needs to improve. Vaccine was significantly reduces the severity of infection. It is recommended to vaccinate all eligible population as early as possible which will help in reducing severe and hospitalized cases and ultimately reducing the impact of Covid-19 pandemic..

Open innovation (OI) is an approach which describes a purposive attempt to draw together knowledge from different contributors to develop and exploit innovation. It has become clear that OI directly benefits organisations' economic performance and resilience, but researchers, practitioners, and policy makers became also convinced that OI might be the way forward to tackle the world's most pressing societal challenges, representing unresolved Grand Challenges, which can only be weathered by diverse sets of collaborative partners that join forces. Although anecdotal evidence points at how OI practices can be employed to achieve societal impact not only in private firms but also in public organisations, very little understanding exists ‐beyond anecdotal‐ to link OI to societal impact. This special issue has the ambition to start the discussion and establish a framework as the stepping stone to tackle this complex research gap.

This article argues that location-based services (LBS) like the social network-based LBS Foursquare are playing an active role in the transformation of experience of the world for users. Based on Heidegger's critique of modern technology and view of technology as a modern ontotheology, and using quantitative and qualitative analyses, this article argues that the importance and role of mobile computational devices and LBS is shifting users' views of physical space by providing social and semantic cues for navigating the world via mobile devices and LBS. This movement is based on users accessing and interacting with maps, making them meaningful through social gazetteers and part of a socially based referential totality, which while liberating has consequences for how users perceive other users and entities in the world, along with problematising current key issues like privacy.


This essay critically examines two articles addressing deceptive messages. We take exception with the Jacobs, Dawson, and Brashers claim that IMT is inconsistent with Grice, and compare their arguments to those of Grice. The Jacobs et al. data are reanalyzed and shown to be inconsistent with their premise that deception derives solely from erroneous Quality implicatures. Burgoon, Buller, Guerrero, Afifi, and Feldman's article describing information management also is addressed. Although the scope of their endeavor is impressive, we believe that their conceptual definitions lack precision and that their proposed set of information dimensions offers little practical utility as a means of deception detection. We also believe that their findings do not significantly contribute to our knowledge of deception.

The concept of a W-matrix is used to give an elementary interpretation of a biorthogonal wavelet decomposition of signals. The authors also give a method to modify the decomposition to give an orthogonal projection on the space spanned by the scaling vectors. Roughly speaking, their treatment is a finite-length analog of the well-known theory of multiresolution analysis of Meyer and Mallat. Their approach differs in that it deals directly with the discrete case, it takes care of the boundary elements without explicit padding,and it uses a notion similar to that of semiorthogonality introduced by Chui. Their algorithm has flexibility in the choice of filter coefficients. The decomposition, orthogonalization, and restoration algorithms are computationally fast.
