An 82-year-old woman with a 25-mm gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in the gastric body (▶Fig. 1,▶Fig. 2) underwent curative endoscopic submucosal enucleation. As the lesion originated deep within the gastric wall, a 15-mm full-thickness defect occurred (▶Fig. 3). The defect was completely sealed with the omental patch technique using one over-the scope clip (OTSC) (11/6t; Ovesco Endoscopy, Tuebingen, Germany) and six through-the-scope clips (Meditalia, Italy) (▶Fig. 4). The patient remained asymptomatic after the procedure and was discharged home 2 days later. A 6-month follow-up gastroscopy showed no recurrence of the GIST. However, the OTSC was found to be completely embedded within the gastric wall (▶Video 1). A computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the transmural location of the OTSC and also showed its prominent extramural extension (▶Fig. 5). The OTSC is a safe device with great efficacy in the treatment of acute gastrointestinal bleeding, perforations, leaks, and fistulas [1]. A recent systematic review analyzing >1500 cases in which an OTSC was used showed a 1.7% overall OTSC-related complication rate, with severe complications, mainly hemorrhage, stenosis, and perforation, occurring in 0.59% of cases. However, a buried OTSC was not mentioned [2]. Another systematic review reported the buried OTSC as a very rare adverse event that is the main cause of failure of endoscopic OTSC removal [3]. Currently, there are no previous reports of a buried OTSC with an extramural extension. In the case described here, the buried OTSC may eventually leak out of the gastric wall and need surgery to be removed. In order to prevent this, endoscopic removal of the OTSC, although challenging, could be attempted. However, we pursued a conservative approach, as the patient remained asymptomatic, and her age and comorbidities represented significant risk factors for surgery should a complication occur during endoscopic OTSC removal.


Previous studies have reported gender differences in loudness perception. To clarify factors that affect loudness perception of men and women, so that differences in their processing of auditory stimuli might be revealed, we conducted four experiments using innovative experimental approaches. A rating experiment employed a wider range of sound stimuli and a greater number of categories on the verbal interval scale to elicit participants' ratings of sounds at different sound pressure levels. As in previous studies, male participants tended to rate the same sounds as less loud than did females. An experiment with the method of adjustment measured the limits of sound pressure level perceived as soft or as loud, and replicated the gender effect: female participants selected lower levels than did males to represent both soft and loud sound categories. The final two experiments sought to measure perceived loudness on a (numeric) ratio scale rather than a (verbal) interval scale. Using the methods of magnitude estimation and magnitude production, these experiments did not produce the clear gender differences seen in the first two experiments. Differences in loudness judgments between males and females may actually reflect differences in the use of verbal expression rather than differences in perception of intensity.


Cetaceans (whales, including dolphins and porpoises) have many unique sensory adaptations that enable them to perceive and respond to stimuli underwater. These adaptations include audition, vocalization, vision, balance, chemoreception, and somatosensation.


A combination of numerical and analytical techniques is used to develop an improved empirical formula for the electric field near the surface of field emitters. The new relationship is shown to account accurately for the shank variation and the dependence of the field upon polar angle. Also discussed is the suitability of empirical formulas for ion trajectory calculations.


We present a reduced order model for three dimensional unsteady pressuredriven flows in micro-channels of variable cross-section. This fast and accurate model is valid for long channels, but allows for large variations in the channel's cross-section along the axis. It is based on an asymptotic expansion of the governing equations in the aspect ratio of the channel. A finite ∗Corresponding author Preprint submitted to Elsevier August 9, 2021 ar X iv :2 10 8. 02 98 3v 1 [ ph ys ic s. fl udy n] 6 A ug 2 02 1 Fourier transform in the plane normal to the flow direction is used to solve for the leading order axial velocity. The corresponding pressure and transverse velocity are obtained via a hybrid analytic-numerical scheme based on recursion. The channel geometry is such that one of the transverse velocity components is negligible, and the other component, in the plane of variation of channel height, is obtained from combination of the corresponding momentum equation and the continuity equations, assuming a low degree polynomial Ansatz of the pressure forcing. A key feature of the model is that it puts no restriction on the time dependence of the pressure forcing, in terms of shape and frequency, as long as the advective component of the inertia term is small. This is a major departure from many previous expositions which assume harmonic forcing. The model reveals to be accurate for a wide range of parameters and is two orders of magnitude faster than conventional three dimensional CFD simulations.


Equilibrium sorption isotherms were obtained for the sulfur dioxide-epoxy resin of aliphatic diglycidyl ether system over a temperature range of 1° to 45°C. The sorption isotherms indicated the presence of Langmuir sorption due to specific interaction. This is uncommon for rubbery polymers, though similar behavior was also observed previously. Zimm-Lundberg's clustering analysis indicated a slight tendency for clustering of the penetrant molecules at low temperatures and higher activities. The number of Langmuir sites for sorption was found to be independent of temperature. The mobilities of the molecules sorbed in Henry's law mode and the Langmuir mode were found to be approximately equal. Predictions of the permeability values for this system are presented and compared with other data from the literature. The temperature dependence of different sorption parameters is presented and discussed in detail.


An Italian biotype of Longitarsus jacobaeae (Waterhouse) appears to be a suitable biological control agent for tansy ragwort, Senecio jacobaea L., a range weed prevalent in areas along the northwest Pacific Coast of the United States that have a dry summer climate. In nature, this population is univoltine, with an adult aestivation during the summer. Eggs are laid in fall and the larvae feed in the root crowns, where they overwinter. Pupation occurs in spring and the adults appear in late May and June. In the laboratory, at 12 hours of 24°C and 12 hours of 12.75°C, the eggs developed rapidly, with 99–100% hatching in the 1st month and 0–1% hatching in the 1st week of the 2nd month, the larval stage averaged 89±14 days, and the pupal stage averaged 18±2 days. The adults responded to several regimens of temperature and photoperiod as follows: (1) with high day temperatures (25.6° or 26.7°C) and short photophase (12 or 14 hours) the adults generally had no dormancy and females oviposited 22±4 days after emergence; (2) with high day temperatures and long photophase (16 or 24 hours), the adults generally went into an artificially prolonged dormancy, but a few females did lay small numbers of eggs, usually within one week of death; (3) with low day temperature (24°C) and short or long photophase, the females generally went into a typical dormancy (aestivation, summer oligopause) lasting 82±31 or 88±29 days, respectively; male aestivation averaged 40±13 days with short photophase. Individual females laid from 217 to 1106 eggs for periods of 53–262 days. The Italian biotype, originating from a dry summer type of climate having mild winters, should survive in northwestern California, and western Oregon and Washington. It has survived and increased in numbers at a 1969 release site near Fort Bragg, Calif., an indication of provisional establishment. Additional releases of this biotype were made in California and Washington in 1970.

Smoking in elevators is a criminal offense that is included in a misdemeanor. Because of that smoking in elevators can be very critical for our growing children and weak women. In this paper, we would like to extract criminals doing this criminal offense to smoke in elevators. Extraction method detect difference value using modified color-X2-test and it was normalized. Next, we find frames that has occurred scene change in successive frames using the four-step algorithm of scene change detection. Finally, we present the method of smoking image retrieval and extraction in stored large amount of video. In the experiment, we show process and number of scene change detection, and the number of video searched per retrieval time. The extracted smoking video is to submit as evidence for the police or court.


The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAAs) represent the most dramatic environmental legislation to impact US manufacturing to date. The CAAAs force manufacturers to reconsider their approach toward the reduction and the elimination of emissions. Perhaps the most significant aspect of CAAAs is the manner in which they are to be enforced. For the first time the federal government, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has the authority to penalize any company that compromises the air quality standards. Congress has modified the EPA approach and cited 189 air toxics that require monitoring and emissions reduction even though threshold limits for these species may not be established. the overall approach of the CAAAs is to move away from complete emissions elimination and toward a finite reduction of all air toxics through the use of existing technologies to achieve maximum air quality improvements. The suitability of mass spectrometry with a capillary sampling system has been investigated for the accurate detection of a broad range of emissions, including nitrogen oxides, sodium oxides, and sulfur oxides.


Abstract This article discusses the way Bernard of Clairvaux introduces himself as preacher in his own work. To demonstrate this process M. B. Pranger take as his point of departure Erich Auerbach's definition of figura. Whereas Auerbach's concept of figura is still characterized by a certain degree of bipolarity (foreshadowing versus fulfilment) Bernard's persona of the preacher, in Pranger's view, is based on full reciprocity between the scriptural facts he is preaching about and his own handling of those details including his self-identification with biblical persons and facts. The thesis of this paper is illustrated with the help of passages from Bernard's sermons on the Ascension and the Resurrection.


The intelligent rolling bearings fault diagnosis methods adopting a single vibration signal as the model input present low diagnostic precision, poor noise robustness, and difficulty in applying to variable operating conditions, so a multi-scale domain adaptation network (MSDAN) was put forward for variable load fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. This method combined multi-scale feature extraction with a lightweight convolutional neural network to extract complementary fault features from coarse-grained vibration signals at multiple time scales. Then, correlation alignment (CORAL) distance and domain identification adversarial learning were applied to extract domain invariant features to establish an end-to-end unsupervised fault diagnosis system for rolling bearings. The MSDAN model was evaluated using variable load-bearing datasets of two experimental setups and compared with other methods. The results show that MSDAN has better diagnostic accuracy and cross-domain adaptability than other domain adaptation fault diagnosis methods. In addition, our multi-scale method has more robust stability and generalization ability than any single-channel feature extraction method.


Single sign-on (SSO) is an identity management technique that provides users the ability to use multiple Web services with one set of credentials. However, when the authentication server is down or unavailable, users cannot access Web services, even if the services are operating normally. Therefore, enabling continuous use is important in single sign-on. In this paper, we present an identity continuance method for single sign-on. We explain four such continuance methods: Redundant SSO Auth Server method, Alias SSOID method, Multiple SSOID method, and SSOID Migration method. We consider these four methods from the viewpoint of continuity, security and efficiency. Moreover, we discuss the feasibility of each.


portrayals of the human mind in various ages which serve to illuminate the meaning of a "new creation" in Christ. Sketched also are the signs of a return to religion and why communism must fail as a religion. For communism is portrayed as the great Christian rival which can be overcome if we realize that we contend against more than flesh and blood, if we humble ourselves, and if we embrace anew the Christian doctrine of man.

The dream painting drawings is closely related to Persian literature as a branch of the Iranian painting whose subjects are determined according to the life events of the national and religious heroes. During the Safavid era, this religious theme was used with the depiction of the Karbala events by the amateur artists. Later, it was used in the tea-houses and was thus given the name. The themes of the tea-house paintings are often summarized in 3 groups which are the martial, romantic and religious. The current study focuses on the reasons in the emergence of this particular kind of painting among the artists and whether the tea-house paintings in the modern world are continued with the aim of its revitalization or with other aims. The research method used in this case is descriptive-analytic, with the documentations, and the instruments used are the charts, observations and photography of the museum books in this regard.


Site-directed mutagenesis of residues in the receptor binding fragment of rat alpha 1-macroglobulin identify residues 1377 and 1378 (human numbering) as crucial for interaction with the alpha 2M signaling receptor on murine macrophages. Secondary structure prediction and signaling studies with the mutant proteins suggest the alpha 2M signaling receptor binding site involves part of a loop-helix-loop motif comprised of residues 1372-1378.


Human reliability is an important part in system reliability researches. This paper reviews studies on human reliability, based on the database "Ei Compendex" and that of VIP Chinese scientific and technical journals with the key word " human reliability" in the last ten years. The statistics of the publication time, authors' countries, and application fields are analyzed. It is shown that human reliability researches focus on human reliability analysis methods. And the research areas cover nuclear power industry, aerospace industry, petroleum chemical industry and the military industry and others. Human reliability researches in China are among front runners in the world, but a gap exists as compared with those in the USA. This paper also reviews studies on the human error theories and human reliability analysis methods, and proposes the development trend in these fields.


In the Logisch-philosophische Abhandlung Wittgenstein says so little about physics that commentators have had the greatest trouble to comment on it. (See, for example, Black (I964).) It even happened that a misprint in the first edition of this elliptic treatise went unnoticed for sixty years. The explanation seems to be that it did not occur to anyone that Wittgenstein in his philosophy of physics did little more than summarize parts of a few articles Mach wrote in his Popular-wissenschaftliche Vorlesungen. (Ryle (195 I) even said of Wittgenstein: 'He was influenced by Frege and Russell, not by Mach.') In order to show that Wittgenstein was directly influenced by Mach, I will confine myself to the following subjects on which Wittgenstein commented: (i) chronometry, geometry and problems of space and time (6.36I I, 6.36I I I), and (2) physical principles 6.32-6.34). Mach wrote on the first of these subjects in the last essay that appeared in the fourth edition of the aforementioned book, 'Eine Betrachtung fiber Zeit und Raum'. The second he treated in his articles 'Ueber das Princip der Erhaltung der Energie' and 'Werden Vorstellungen, Gedanken vererbt?' (Mach (I91o).) I am not concerned here with the influence of Part VI of Russell's Principles of mathematics on Wittgenstein's Abhandlung, nor with the influence of Hertz's Prinzipien der Mechanik on both works, I only want to point out that the similarity of Wittgenstein's remarks with some of Mach's popular-scientific agruments is so striking that one cannot but conclude that Wittgenstein had read at least some of the articles of Mach's Popular-wissenschaftliche Vorlesungen. First, there are Wittgenstein's comments on Kant's problem of the right and left hand which cannot be made to cover one another: (i) this problem occurs already in the plane, and even in one-dimensional space; (2) the right and left hand are in fact completely congruent; (3) a right-hand giove could be put on a left hand if it could be turned in four-dimensional space (cf. 6.36III). Mach made similar remarks, but he at least did not omit his source: according to Mach, M6bius remarked about I827 'that a linear figure abc, that can be seen as the symmetrical counterpart of a'b'c'mirrored in SS on the same straight line, can never be made to cover the latter on this line; for this purpose one has to take the figure out of the straight line and turn it; in order to do that at least two dimensions are needed, so a plane' (ibid., pp. 502-503). In addition Mach mentioned M6bius' generalisation, not only for triangles in a plane, but also for congruent three-dimensional bodies, that cannot be made to cover each other in any way in space: 'But one could


A lamellar unit structure is present throughout the subphylum. From measurements of the change in diameter of the aorta in response to increased pressure, strain values were calculated for the aorta of species of reptiles, birds and mammals. Differences may be relevant to the development of degenerative vascular disease in these orders.


The authors have developed a new detection method of AC dissipation current and its waveform of dielectric materials around power frequency. Applying this method, they establish a new instantaneous measurement technique of high-field dielectric properties of insulating materials. The fast rising AC ramp voltage and the AC constant voltage with abrupt frequency changes are applied to the nonpolar polymeric film samples. The DC pre-stress is also applied to evaluate its effect for the AC electric field dependence and time variation of tan/spl delta/. Using the FFT data analysis of AC loss current, the variation of tan/spl delta/ of PP film is measured within each one cycle of continuously applied field. AC loss mechanism is then discussed from this result.<<ETX>>


Abstract The adsorption isotherms of n-decane and n-dodecane on amorphous poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) in its glassy state have been determined from the profiles of gas chromatographic peaks. The isotherms obtained are characteristic of a low surface energy solid. The possible influence of the experimental variables flow rate and sorbate sample size on the isotherms thus determined has been investigated. The BET model of multilayer adsorption, when applied to the isotherms, yields an estimated specific surface area of the adsorbent which is too large in comparison with literature values for other polymers. This discrepancy is attributed to the penetrable nature of our polymer. Its cyclohexyl side group should impart enough free volume to the solid below T to allow for the penetration of the sorbate molecule.


The manufacture of high reliability electronic black boxes requires traceability, which, in essence, is the availability of data that creates a road map from the final product down to the microscopic semiconductor chip on a microelectronic hybrid assembly.The information is usually recorded by each operator and is eventually keyboard entered into a computer for a storage in a data bank. Alternative methods for data recording and entry were investigated. Voice data entry was selected. A system using fifteen voice data entry terminals in conjunction with a minicomputer, which in turn inputs into an IBM 370, was installed. This permits a multiplicity of programs to be used with a multiplicity of voice data entry terminals all operating simultaneously. The system has completed production trials and is now in full use in the Microelectronics Production Department at the Lockheed Missile Systems Division.


ABSTRACTWe conducted geophysical surveys on Beacon Island in the Houtman Abrolhos archipelago offshore Western Australia, to investigate areas of archaeological interest related to the 1629 Batavia shipwreck, mutiny, and massacre. We used three complementary near-surface geophysical survey techniques (total magnetic intensity, electromagnetic induction mapping, and ground-penetrating radar) to identify anomalous target zones for archaeological excavation. Interpreting near-surface geophysical anomalies is often complex and nonunique, although it can be significantly improved by achieving a better understanding of site-specific factors including background conditions, natural variability, detectability limits, and the geophysical response to, and spatial resolution of, buried targets. These factors were not well-understood for Beacon Island nor indeed for the Australian coastal environment. We have evaluated the results of controlled experiments in which we bury known targets at representative depths and a...

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of emulsion albendazole under the condition of taking tablet albendazole as the control. Methods The chemotherapy was carried out with dosage of 12.5 mg/kg·d of emulsion albendazole, dosing successively for 3,6 or 9 months. Results The curative rate at the end of therapy and after 2 year's follow up were 67.35%, 74.19% in the group of patients treated with emulsion albendazole and 31.25%, 36.0% in group of patients treated with tablet albendazole respectively. Conclusion The emulsion albendazole has high efficacy in the treatment of cystic echinococcosis and may be used as the anti reccurence agent after surgical operation.


We histologically examined seven hydroxyapatite-coated (HA) blade implants removed from patients. Four of them radiologically showed severe bone loss and were easily removed with an elevator. Three radiologically showed vertical bone loss and were removed by surgical procedure. Our histological evaluation indicated that coating separation from the HA implants had occurred, and HA coating resorption by bone tissues was suspected in an implant left in situ for 8 years. Several multinucleated giant cells were seen with a few released particles of HA coating at the point lacking bone contact with the HA coating. The presence of microorganisms on and in the HA coating layer was also noted.

Summary Primordial germ cells (PGCs) from embryos of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, are remarkably large with granulated cytoplasm. The prominent nucleus contains several conspicuous nucleoli. The 5.5–6.5-day-old embryos are good sources for PGC isolation since they contain a relatively high proportion of the PGCs and the embryonic cells at these stages are easily dissociated. Embryos 5.5–6.5 days old and 14.5–16.5 days old were homogenized, and the cell suspensions were either mechanically or enzymatically dissociated. The dissociated cell suspensions were fractionated in the three-layered Percoll discontinuous gradient. An average of 38.8±5.8% and 27.5±4.4% PGCs were obtained at the interface between 25% and 30% and between 30% and 35% Percoll, respectively, following mechanical dissociation of cells of 5.5–6.5-day-old embryos.


As is to be expected, only the strong kind of identity is subject to a law of substi tutivity valid for all modal contexts. I t should be noted that only the strong identity is therefore interpretable as identity in the ordinary sense of the word. The system is accordingly best understood by reconstruing the so-called individuals as "individual concepts." For example the material planet which is a t once the Evening Star and the Morning Star should not be reckoned as a value of the individual variables, lest it tu rn out not to be identical (in the full sense) with itself; on the other hand, two distinct concepts of Evening Star and Morning Star are available as values of the variables without fear of paradox. See the reviewer's remarks in this volume, p . 47. I t should be noted further that the primitive idea of abstraction need not have been assumed for this system, for it could have been introduced by contextual definition. Where $ is any formula and ai , • • • , a", 0i , • • • , /3" are any individual variables, we could explain r ( a , ••• a"*)(/3i , ••• , Pn) as short for r ( 7 l ) . . . (T") ( 7 l = |8 l . . . . . 7 " = £n . 3 (<*,)• •• (an) (a = Ti • • • • • «" = 7" . 3 (J)))" 1 , where 7 1 , • • • , yn are new and distinct variables and a — (T is short for r (F) (Fa -3 F/3)" . (The seemingly redundant importation of 71 , • • • , -y" into this definition has as i ts purpose the avoidance of conflicts which would otherwise arise in certain cases between <*i , • • • , an and /3i , • • • , /3" .)

i.) My co-organizer, John Wood (University of North Carolina--Greensboro), and I received seven abstracts. We accepted six of them. ii.) As per our call for abstracts, interested parties emailed their abstracts to Professor Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz (Hamilton College). Professor Rabinowitz then sent us the abstracts in one single email without the names of the submitters in it. John Wood and I reviewed all abstracts anonymously. We thought that the original title of paper 5 on the list below could be perceived by non academics as controversial, since it included the term "child sexuality." We asked Professors Judith Hallett and Bruce Frier to review this particular abstract. We concluded that the abstract provides a neutral treatment of the topic and controversy is not a criterion for rejecting submissions. We decided to accept the abstract, but ask the author to modify the title slightly so that the APA and our panel will avoid attracting any negative attention. When we decided on the list, we emailed it to Professor Rabinowitz and asked her to add the name and email address of each submitters next to the title of his/her paper. She sent the list back to us and we contacted the six people below. iii.) 1. "Five Young Men, Aristophanes, and Me." Sophie J. V. Mills. University of North Carolina, Asheville. 20 minutes. 2.

Biogenic amines in retail processed cheeses and in packaged grated cheeses have been analysed for Histamine,Tyramine, Putrescine and Cadaverine content.The results show a considerable variability for all the amines. In processed cheeses putrescine was almost constantly present, only one sample being free from biogenic amines. In any case the concentration of every single amine was lower than the accepted levels. In grated cheeses, only histamine was detected in significant amounts and in one sample the concentration exceeded 10 mg/100 g, generally assumed to be the threshold value for toxic effects.


The initial geostress and seepage field are destroyed because of tunnel excavation.Seepage field change will cause changes of geostress.Moreover,geostress variation will also cause structural change of the rock,which will change seepage characteristic.The interactions of seepage field and geostress field give a complex impact on the surrounding rock of the tunnel,which can reduce the stability of surrounding rock.Surrounding rock collapsing,water inflow and other disastrous accidents may turn out in serious time.A uumerical method for Mayazi tunnel is given with considering seepage effect.The distribution of stress field,pore water pressure,displacement field after tunnel excavation are obtained and attentions are also paid during construction.It is necessary to consider seepage effect during the design and construction of a tunnel.The calculated results is essential guiding significance to the design,construction and waterproof and drainage techniques of tunnels.


In this paper, we streamline the technique of groupoids coarse decomposition for purpose of K-theory computations of groupoids crossed products. This technique was first introduced by Guoliang Yu in his proof of Novikov conjecture for groups with finite asymptotic dimension. The main tool we use for these computations is controlled operator K-theory.


The dramatic change in various spheres of daily life caused by the COVID-19 virus epidemic has had many ambiguous effects on the Latvian fisheries sector. As part of a national research program project reCOVery-LV to study the virus's effect on the supply chain, LLU researchers concluded that Latvian fish processing demonstrates a multidirectional effect. The interpretation of statistics and the interviews conducted confirmed the hypothesis that the virus has had negative and positive effects within one sector of the economy. This industry heterogeneity places high demands on support criteria, making them more targeted for successful risk management. The research aims to analyze the fishery sector and identify the COVID-19 pandemic effect on Latvia's fish sector. As part of the study, all stages of the fish food chain were studied, risks were identified, their relative relevance was determined, and measures were proposed to neutralize these risks. This article summarizes the results of the study, prioritizes the implementation of countermeasures that reduce risks and are recommended by the results of the risk assessment, and complement the results of the study, identifies measures aimed at the long-term and sustainable development of the industry, based on the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sometimes, the more you protect your force, the less secure you may be. --Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. --Isaac Asimov AT THE START of 2004, when I was the commander of a military intelligence company in Baghdad, my company received five of the first Raven unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed to Iraq. (1) The Raven UAV is a small, hand-launched reconnaissance plane that has probably never figured prominently in any discussion about the ethics of waging war via remote-controlled robots. This drone is not armed, nor can it range more than a few miles from its controller. It looks more like a large toy plane than a weapon of war. To my troops, I seemed quite enthused about this capability. Not all of this excitement was for show. I actually did find the technology and the fact that my troops were among the first to employ these drones in Iraq to be exciting. I had fully bought into the fantasy that such technology would make my country safe from terrorist attack and invincible in war. I also felt, however, a sense of unease. One thing I worried about was socalled "collateral damage." I knew that, because of the small, gray viewing screens that came with these drones as well as their limited loiter time, it might prove too easy to misinterpret the situation on the ground and relay false information to combat troops with big guns. I suspected that, if we did contribute to civilian deaths, my troops and I would not handle it well. But at the same time, I worried that we might cope quite well. Since we were physically removed from the action, maybe such an event would not affect us much. Would it look and feel, I wondered, like sitting at home, a can of Coke in hand, watching a war movie? Would we feel no more than a passing pang that the show that day had been a particularly hard one to watch? And, if that is how we felt, what would that say about us? It did not take long for a vivid nightmare to bring my fears to the surface. In this dream, I saw a little Iraqi girl and her family in a car, frightened, caught in the middle of a major U.S. military operation, trying to escape both insurgents and encircling U.S. forces. Believing the car to be filled with insurgents, my troops followed this car with one of our Ravens and alerted a checkpoint to the approaching threat. When a Bradley destroyed the car with a TOW missile, the officers in our command post cheered, clapping each other on the back. I awoke filled with dread. I now recognize this dream as a symptom of cognitive dissonance, the psychological result of holding two or more conflicting cognitions. In this instance, my identity as a U.S. Army officer and all this identity's attendant values (duty to follow legal orders, loyalty to my fellow soldiers, and so on) clashed with my fear of harming innocents. It also clashed with a growing feeling that there was something fundamentally troubling about how we were choosing to wage war. In this essay, I will not argue that waging war remotely does not have ethical advantages, for it clearly does. For one, armed drones and other robots are incapable of running concentration camps and committing rape and other crimes that still require human troops on the ground. Indeed, removing combat operators from the stress of life-threatening danger reduces their potential to commit those crimes that they could still conceivably commit via drones. Neuroscientists are finding that the neural circuits responsible for conscious self-control are highly vulnerable to stress. (2) When these circuits shut down, primal impulses go unchecked. (3) This means that soldiers under extreme physical duress can commit crimes that they would normally be unable to commit. Another ethical advantage is that, compared to most other modern weapons systems, armed drones do a better job of helping combat operators to distinguish and target combatants instead of noncombatants. …


Advancements in medical imaging have revolutionized the way in which clinicians' approach diagnoses. From monitoring of disease to the treatment of illnesses is realized to be much more effective than ever before. The ability to exchange, connect and share information about human anatomy via non-invasive methods of radiology, nuclear medicine has opened up an entire new genre of medicine. Having said that, 'image distribution' in medical field has always been a challenge for the reasons known. And one primary parameter which always questions the very aspect of distribution has been 'Data Security and Patient Privacy'.The advances in technology and BYOD(Bring Your Own Devices) nature in the IOT industry has changed the paradigm of healthcare industry. In today's connected world it becomes increasing imperative to address aspects like 'data security, threat and patient privacy' and the 'risk mitigation' strategy within our products and solutions we offer. 'Prevention is better than cure' and history is the witness that no legislation has succeeded in totally eliminating security breaches from the globe. The only possible step is to adopt tight security implementation mechanisms and effective risk control measures in parallel to enhancing the privacy policies to combat the security attacks. In this paper we will see certain healthcare security lapses and what it means to stakeholders in the healthcare industry and an attempt to discuss few proven operational strategies, risk management methodologies and discern what the industry can do mitigate such security risks and privacy threats.


active layers to lower the device driving voltage and reduce the hole and electron injection barrier. (b) The host should possess higher triplet energies than those of the dopant emit-ters so as to confine the triplet excitons in the emissive layer and to prevent reverse energy transfer from the guest back to the host. (c) The charge carrier transport properties of the host have to be good and it should balance the hole-electron recombination process. Dexter energy transfer also plays a significant role in obtaining the triplet excitons for the guest materials and the corresponding rate is correlated with the changes in Gibbs free energy (triplet energy difference) based on the Marcus electron-transfer theory.


Background: Blood groups system has key importance for transfusion safety and clinical practice. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the distribution of ABO blood groups and its association with blood donation in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: In this study, we collected information regarding blood donation from 715 Saudi volunteers living in the city of Hail, Northern Saudi Arabia. Data about blood donation were obtained from 715 Saudi volunteers living in the city of Hail. Results: The majority of the study population was found with group B+ representing 174 participants, followed by A+, O+, AB+, B-ve, A-ve, AB-ve and O-ve, representing 165, 153, 47, 29, 20, 9, and 7 participants, in this order. Conclusion: The major blood group among Saudi population is group B+ followed by group A+ and O+. Individuals with rare blood groups were less likely to participate in blood donation programs, which necessitate the need for educational programs using motivating factors.


Privileged Processing of Low Spatial Frequencies in Emotional Faces? R. Hans Phaf (email@example.com) Psychonomics Department Robert Wendte (email@example.com) Psychonomics Department Mark Rotteveel (email@example.com) Social Psychology Department University of Amsterdam, Roetersstraat 15 1018 WB Amsterdam NL Abstract It is proposed that spatial frequency filtering can act as a new kind of masking technique, so that conscious and nonconscious processing can be contrasted while presentation durations remain constant. Stronger affective priming by emotional faces in suboptimal than optimal presentation conditions is a striking example of such a contrast. Similarly, images containing only low spatial frequencies (LSF) were expected to produce larger priming than images with only high spatial frequencies (HSF). Conscious report on the emotional expressions should, however, be more accurate for the HSF than the LSF faces. The results supported only the former expectation, but ceiling effects, procedural issues, and inadequate filtering may account for this limited support. It is assumed that the stronger-suboptimal-than-optimal affective priming pattern reflects the biologically privileged processing of LSF components of affective stimuli. Nonconscious processing of low frequency features is discussed in the context of evolution and models for affective processing. Keywords: Emotion; Conscious vs. Nonconscious Processing; Spatial Frequency; Facial Expressions. Processing of a select class of stimuli, such as emotional faces, but also snakes, spiders, and injuries, seems to be evolutionary prepared and can take place rapidly and in the absence of consciousness (LeDoux, 1996, Ohman & Mineka, 2001). Little is known, however, about which particular stimulus features are processed nonconsciously. Vuilleumier et al. (2003) found evidence in fMRI research that images of fear faces, filtered to contain only low spatial frequencies, addressed subcortical pathways to the amygdala, but could be (consciously) evaluated less accurately than unfiltered and HSF fear faces. This paper investigates in an affective priming experiment whether particularly the low spatial frequencies of negatively valenced faces are subject to nonconscious processing. The neurobiological dual-route model of LeDoux (1996) postulates parallel processing of, on the one hand, global stimulus features and, on the other hand, more detailed features. The model, which primarily addresses fear, distinguishes a subcortical route from the sensory thalamus directly to the amygdala performing fast and coarse processing, and a slower and more detailed processing route, indirectly via cortical areas, to the amygdala. Behavioral and information processing tendencies associated with fear, such as freezing, or increased attention to potential threats, is triggered from these neural regions. It has been suggested that the amygdala are also involved in other emotions, such as happiness (Hamann et al., 2002), but the evidence for this is more mixed. The direct route is shorter than the indirect route and responsible only for nonconscious, 'quick and dirty', processing of affective stimuli. More complex, including conscious, affective processing takes place in the slower cortical route. Although there is also evidence for learning in the direct route, it appears to be primarily dedicated to processing specific affective stimuli (Ohman & Mineka, 2001), that have been associated with potential threats throughout most of evolutionary history. The fast recruitment by privileged stimuli of adaptive behavioral tendencies, already from the earliest age, would be helpful for survival. It could be said that a 'miss' of a threat is more costly than a 'false alarm'. The slower route may then form a parallel control circuit with the function, which may also be evolutionary prepared, to correct for false alarms evoked by the fast route, when there is sufficient time. The LeDoux model also seems well suited to explain experimental results in the field of conscious and nonconscious affective processing. Murphy and Zajonc (1993, see also Rotteveel et al., 2001) found that some affective stimuli (i.e., happy and angry emotional expressions) can be more readily processed nonconsciously than non-affective stimuli (e.g., male and female faces with an affectively neutral expression), but that this was reversed with conscious processing. In a priming paradigm they compared conscious and nonconscious effects of affective and non-affective primes. To avoid the terms 'subliminal' and 'supraliminal', which suggest the existence of a single consciousness threshold, Murphy and Zajonc used the terms 'optimal' and 'suboptimal' for the presentation conditions of the primes. These terms better reflect that there is a mixture, in different proportions, of conscious and nonconscious processing in all conditions (Merikle, 1992). Immediately after prime presentation in optimal (1s) or suboptimal (4ms nominally, presumably the effective presentation duration was in the order of 10ms) fashion, an affectively neutral ideograph, which was meaningless to participants, appeared. The participants rated the ideographs on a rating scale according to an affective or a non-affective (i.e., size, symmetry, or gender) dimension. Murphy and Zajonc


The utility model discloses a back light module group and a liquid crystal display device. The back light module group comprises a back plate and a heat radiation plate locked and attached on the back plate. At least one press plate is also added on the back light module group of the liquid crystal display device, and the press plate is locked and attached onto the heat radiation plate and the back plate and is used for tightly pressing the heat radiation plate. Because the press plate is added for tightly pressing the heat radiation plate, and gaps formed on parts far away from the locking and attaching points because the pressure is small are reduced, so the contact heat resistance is reduced, the heat in a back light cavity can be transmitted onto a metal back plate in time, and the temperature of the back light module group is reduced.


When walking in an unstructured environment, human is realizing various trajectories, often arising due to an instantaneous situation that could not be predicted in advance. This imposes the requirement for on-line trajectory planning and constant changing of gait parameters (turning, stopping, acceleration and deceleration, switching from the walk on a flat to the walk on an inclined surface or staircases, etc.). In view of the prospect that humanoid robots of the future will share with humans living and working space it will be normally expected from them to possess similar walking capabilities. This work aims to demonstrate the possibility of on-line generation of complex motion as a combination of simple motions at particular joints, called primitives. Each primitive has its parameters and constraints that are determined on the basis of similar man's motions. The set of all primitives represents the base from which primitives are selected and combined for the purpose of performing the corresponding complex movement. The proof that a correct selection of primitives is made and that the movement is the appropriate one is obtained on the basis of the maintainance of dynamic balance, which is realized by monitoring the ZMP position, as well as based on the pattern of the very movement.


Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oral vitamin K2 (Menaquinone‐7 [MK‐7]) on clinical and biochemical parameters in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. Methods In this randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial, 84 PCOS patients were randomly assigned into the treatment (90 µg Menaquinone‐7 daily for 8 weeks) and placebo groups. Insulin resistance, lipid profile, endocrine biomarkers, and body composition of the participants were measured before and after the intervention. This study was performed in Ghadir Mother & Child Hospital affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. Results Menaquinone‐7 supplementation, when compared to placebo, significantly decreased serum fasting insulin (p = .002), homeostasis model of assessment insulin resistance (p = .002), and homeostasis model of assessment β‐cell function (p = .02) in addition to a significant increase in quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (p = .001). Also, MK‐7 administration led to significant declines in serum triglyceride (p = .003) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT; p = .03) levels, free androgen index (p < .001), waist circumference (p = .03), and body fat mass (p < .001) as well as significant increases in skeletal muscle (p < .001) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG, p < .001). Conclusions This study highlights the beneficial effects of MK‐7 on insulin resistance, fat mass, skeletal muscle, and serum levels of triglyceride, DHT, and SHBG in PCOS patients. Therefore, it seems that MK‐7 supplementation might be an appropriate additive treatment for PCOS patients.


With thermogravimetric analyzer, the pyrolysis characteristics of three kinds of lignin from agricultural wastes were studied under three heating rates (10, 20, and 40 K/min). The increase of heating rate could advance the final pyrolysis degree and the pyrolysis reaction rate. In the main pyrolysis region, the lignin samples of corn cob (CC) and peanut shell (PS) showed two peaks of reaction rate curves, yet three peaks for the pine cone (PC) lignin. With the model-free Starink methods, it was found in the previous sections of all the lignin samples, the E values changed widely, and yet in the last sections, the E values were fairly stable. With the model-fitting methods, the kinetic parameters of CC and PS showed a good consistency: both of the lignin pyrolysis processes fitted F1 model for Coats-Redfern method and F1.5 model for Horowitz-Metzger method, and the E values of the two lignin pyrolysis were fairly close; yet, the parameters of the pyrolysis process of the PC lignin obtained were different f...


Gaussian mixture is a powerful statistical tool for data modeling and analysis. However, its model selection, i.e., the selection of number of Gaussians in the mixture for a sample dataset, is still a difficult task. Recently, a Shannon entropy penalized learning algorithm was established for Gaussian mixture modeling with a good feature that model selection can be made automatically during the parameter learning. In this paper, a Renyi entropy penalized learning algorithm is further proposed for Gaussian mixture modeling with automated model selection. It is demonstrated by the simulation experiments that the Renyi entropy penalized learning algorithm converges much faster than the Shannon entropy penalized learning algorithm. Moreover, the Renyi entropy penalized learning algorithm is successfully applied to classification of the Iris data and unsupervised image segmentation.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease, like other serious and potentially fatal disorders (Derogatis, 1985), has important psychosocial and neuropsychiatric implications. Such psychological impact is understandable, as in addition to its unpredictable course, distressing manifestations and sombre outcome, HIV disease usually affects young adults, making the process of coping with the illness even more harrowing. In addition, individuals who develop HIV infection in Western countries tend to belong to social groups who have experienced social rejection and psychological difficulties (gay men or drug users) or chronic ill health (men with haemophilia) prior to the disease, and who may be predisposed to further problems. Finally, the fears and social rejection which HIV disease and those affected by it evoke often complicate an already distressing situation. HIV infection can also cause a variety of acute and chronic neuropsychiatric disorders, resulting from the direct effects of the virus or'secondary to opportunistic infections or tumours. The psychological problems seen in HIVdisease, added to the complexities of treating a disorder affecting multiple organs and systems, presents medical and nursing teams with a heavy burden of care and with difficult clinical decisions which can lead to stress, demoralization, job dissatisfaction and loss of efficacy. Here an overview of the psychosocial and neuropsychiatric problems likely to develop in people with HIV disease will be given, followed by discussion of ways in which these problems can be tackled by the medical team, paramedical staff and by specialist mental health care workers.

keyword: TRANSLATION, STUDY, THE QUUEN OF DEATH ABSTRACT : The translation of The Queen of Death taken from novel The Queen of Death by  John Milne is an interesting novel to read. The novel of The Queen of Death tells about  Dr.John Farrow (the archeologist) is finding the secret tomb of Queen Axtarte. When  Farrow mysteriously disappears, Chief Inspector Salahadin suspects a gang of smugglers  are involved. But he also worried. He has read the words of Queen Axtartes curse:  anyone who enters my tomb anyone who steals from my tomb  anyone who touches  my body  that person will die terrible death. And many more will die with him.  This study aims to find out problems in translating English into Indonesian. The  writer intends to find out words, phrases, idioms that may be difficult to translate.  The problems faced by the writer are long sentences, a word which has more than  one meaning and a word cannot be translated. The writer used free translation to solve  these problems by considering the main topic and the sense of message.

Structural reliability analysis involving the non‐normal random variables are commonly encountered in practical engineering. Furthermore, some random variables are often unknown probability distributions, and the probabilistic characteristic of these variables may be expressed using only statistical moments. In this contribution, an efficient algorithm for structural reliability analysis considering the random variables with non‐normal and unknown probability distributions is proposed, in which high‐order unscented transformation (HUT) and fourth‐moment methods are adopted to efficiently evaluate the structural reliability index. By introducing the Rosenblatt transformation and third‐order polynomial transformation (TPT) techniques, random variables with non‐normal or unknown distributions are transformed into standard normal distributions. Accordingly, the performance functions can be reconstructed using standard normal random variables, and HUT is then employed to efficiently estimate the first four moments (i.e., mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis) of the performance function. Based on the Hermite polynomial model, the complete expression of fourth‐moment reliability index is derived for estimating the reliability index using the first four moments of the performance function. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated through six numerical examples. The results show that the proposed algorithm is applicable to estimating reliability index of both static and dynamic reliability problems involving explicit and implicit performance functions.


Communication involves exchanging information. We can do it in two ways: oral or written. In both of them it is necessary that the message makes sense, that is, it should be writed and expressed with sentences, be they phrases or sentences.
To write meaningfully it is important to know the grammar, it helps us understand how the language is organized and how it works, providing help to create our messages with a syntactic structure appropriate to their communicative intent, for that reason, to get students to develop The competences of the communication area, it is necessary that they acquire a grammatical awareness, better said, that they have knowledge of grammar, but that, in addition, they are sensitized to the grammatical logic associating the grammatical sense with the clarity of the messages issued, therefore in this work the concepts of sentence, phrase and grammatical sentence are reached, necessary notes on coherence and cohesion, grammatical agreement and spelling, emphasizing the use of capital letters and the end point and, a notion of lexical cards.
But in speech, it is not only important to correctly apply grammar rules, it is also necessary to be able to convince others about what we say and here rhetoric plays an important role, a set of rules and recommendations on the use of language for aesthetic and persuasive purposes
The pedagogical foundation emphasizes the need for students to learn to learn and learn to live together, developing their skills; these involve capacity development, that is, the use of knowledge, skills and abilities in solving real problems, which can be developed from a basic level to an advanced level, that is, showing a growth in their level of performance to reach a performance standard according to their age. But this achievement cannot happen without the pedagogical intervention of the teacher, this is the one who must guide, support and evaluate the whole process to achieve such learning, so the pedagogical processes that must be taken into account in the learning session are developed as: motivation, exploration, collection of previous knowledge, problematization, cognitive conflict, meaningful learning, scaffolding and evaluation (coevaluation, self-evaluation and hetero-evaluation), especially formative evaluation.

Ranging (estimating the distance to) conspecifics is an important skill for songbirds. For example, territorial males must determine, often by acoustic information alone, whether a rival male is either within territorial boundaries, requiring an aggressive response or outside boundaries, requiring him to withhold response to conserve energy. Most field studies of ranging in songbirds measure males' behavioral responses to playback of vocalizations seeming to originate from within or outside an established territory. However, this approach is inadequate for investigating ranging abilities in species that do not defend territories or for assessing the extent to which ranging abilities are dependent on early experience with distance. In a series of studies, a go/no‐go operant task requiring birds to discriminate vocalizations recorded at various distances was developed to ask some of these comparative questions about auditory distance perception. Results showed that a territorial species, black‐capped chicka...


In order to stay up-to-date in the nursing field, nurses must pursue continuous education. This study examined nurses' motivations to take part in continuing education activities by conducting a survey amongst a sample of nurses employed in two hospitals in south-east Morocco. The survey was carried out using a two-part self-administered questionnaire. Out of 144 nurses who received the questionnaire, 118 (84%) replied. The results showed that the majority of nurses have never participated in a continuing education session in the last 3 years. Respondents' motivation for continuing education was mainly intrinsic, with the emphasis on factors related to professional competence and knowledge seeking. The use of such results can therefore be of great use to both managers and practitioners in planning continuing education programmes. However, it is desirable that more studies take place to investigate further the issue of continuing education with the aim of promoting and developing professional nursing skills.


Thin mesoporous photoconductive layers are critically important for efficient water-spitting solar cells. A detailed understanding of photoconductivity in these materials can be achieved via terahertz transient absorption measurements. Such measurements are commonly interpreted using the thin-film approximation. We compare this approximation with a numerical solution of the transfer function without approximations using experimental results for thin-film mesoporous tin oxide (SnO2) samples which range in thickness from 3.3 to 12.6 µm. These samples were sensitized with either a ruthenium polypyridyl complex or a porphyrin dye. The two sensitizers have markedly different absorption coefficients, resulting in penetration depths of 15 µm and 1 µm, respectively. The thin-film approximation results are in good agreement with the numerical work-up for the short penetration length dye. For the longer penetration length samples, the thin-film formula fails even for thicknesses of only 3 µm ≈ λ/100. The imaginary part of the conductivity calculated using the thin-film formula was significantly larger in magnitude than the value without approximations. This discrepancy between the commonly used thin-film approximation and the numerical solution demonstrates the need for a careful analysis of the thin-film formula.Thin mesoporous photoconductive layers are critically important for efficient water-spitting solar cells.

Entity disambiguation is the task of identifying the real world entity that was referred to/mentioned in a context. Ambiguous references to entities may occur due to variations of how an entity is referenced (BT, British Telecom) or inherent ambiguities of the names used for entities (Orange Telecom vs. fruit orange), and misspellings (Best Buy vs. BestBuy). Ambiguities in company names however come with a price, when it comes to nding information about the company on the Web. Recently, tracking social media for brand management has become a very important part of the process in marketing, public relations, and product marketing. Therefore, resolving references to real world objects has become an important part of social media analytics systems. In this thesis, we study di erent machine learning algorithms for entity disambiguation in micro-blogging posts. We show that with the carefully selected set of features, supervised learning techniques would improve the disambiguation quality signi cantly.

A new method was employed to synthesize nanosized Y2O3 dispersion strengthened Fe-base superalloy powders using self-propagating combustion. A concentrated solution of nitrates of iron and yttrium was used as oxidizer, malic acid as fuel to fabricate Fe2O3/Y2O3 powders at low temperature. Afterwards, uniform and fine Fe/2wt.%Y2O3 powders were obtained by selective reduction with hydrogen, on the surface of which dispersive Y2O3 particles of the mean size of 30 - 50 nm were observed.


ABSTRACTBackground: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is achronic progressive disorder with a poor prognosis.Epithelial instability is a crucial step in the developmentand progression of the disease, including neoplastictransformation. Few tissue markers for epithelial instabilityhave been reported in IPF. Squamous cell carcinomaantigen (SCCA) is a serine protease inhibitor typicallyexpressed by dysplastic and neoplastic cells of epithelialorigin, more often in squamous cell tumours. At present,no information is available on its expression in IPF.Methods: SCCA and transforming growth factor b(TGFb) expression in surgical lung biopsies from 22patients with IPF and 20 control cases was examined. Anin vitro study using A549 pneumocytes was alsoconducted to investigate the relationship between SCCAand TGFbexpression. SCCA and TGFbepithelial expres-sion was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and reversetranscription–PCR (RT-PCR). SCCA values were correlatedwith different pathological and clinical parameters. Timecourse analysis of TGFbexpression in A549 pneumocytesincubated with different SCCA concentrations wasassessed by real time RT–PCR.Results: SCCA was expressed in many metaplasticalveolar epithelial cells in all IPF cases with a mean valueof 24.9% while it was seen in only two control patients inup to 5% of metaplastic cells. In patients with IPF, SCCAcorrelated positively with extension of fibroblastic foci(r=0.49, p=0.02), expression of TGFb(r=0.78,p,0.0001) and with carbon monoxide transfer factordecline after 9 months of follow-up (r=0.59, p=0.01).In vitro experiments showed that incubation of culturedcells with SCCA induced TGFbexpression, with a peak at24 h.Conclusion: Our findings provide for the first time apotential mechanism by which SCCA secreted frommetaplastic epithelial cells may exert a profibrotic effect inIPF. SCCA could be an important biomarker in thisincurable disease.Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), morphologi-cally characterised by an usual interstitial pneu-monia (UIP), represents a progressive disease ofunknown aetiology that continues to be associatedwith high morbidity and mortality.


Cyber criminals have become a formidable treat in
today's world. This present reality has placed cloud computing platforms under
constant treats of cyber-attacks at all levels, with an ever-evolving treat
landscape. It has been observed that the number of threats faced in cloud
computing is rising exponentially mainly due to its widespread adoption, rapid
expansion and a vast attack surface. One of the front-line tools employed in
defense against cyber-attacks is the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). In
recent times, an increasing number of researchers and cyber security practitioners
alike have advocated the use of deception-based techniques in IDS and other
cyber security defenses as against the use of traditional methods. This paper
presents an extensive overview of the deception technology environment, as well
as a review of current trends and implementation models in deception-based
Intrusion Detection Systems. Issues mitigating the implementation of deception
based cyber security defenses are also investigated.


The RXR‐selective retinoid bexarotene is a potent anti‐proliferative agent that effectively suppresses mammary tumorigenesis, yet chronic treatment at effective doses is associated with adverse effects. To identify compounds that synergistically enhance the anti‐proliferative activity of bexarotene, we conducted high throughput screens using a library of clinically tested drugs and small molecules in premalignant human breast epithelial cells. The dual b/a1‐adrenergic receptor antagonist carvedilol showed strong synergy with bexarotene in both anchorage‐dependent and colony formation assays. Long‐term treatment of MMTV‐ErbB2 mice with low‐dose carvedilol (20 mg/kg/d) and bexarotene (20 mg/kg/d) as single agents delayed de novo tumor formation, while their combination effectively inhibited the development of ER‐negative breast cancer. Carvedilol administration was also associated with slower tumor growth compared to control mice.


The information space of the Semantic Web has different characteristics from that of the World Wide Web WWW. One main difference is that in the Semantic Web, the direction of Resource Description Framework RDF links does not have the same meaning as the direction of hyperlinks in the WWW, because the link direction is determined not by a voting process but by a specific schema in the Semantic Web. Considering this fundamental difference, the authors propose a method for ranking Semantic Web resources independent of link directions and show the convergence of the algorithm and experimental results. This method focuses on the classes rather than the properties. The property weights are assigned depending on the relative significance of the property to the resource importance of each class. It solves some problems reported in prior studies, including the Tightly Knit Community TKC effect, as well as having higher accuracy and validity compared to existing methods.


The orthogonal experiment was designed for investigating the treatment of Cr(VI)in water with Eupatorium odoratum L.Leaves.The effect of some factors were studied in detail,including the dosage of leaf extracts,the modification method of leaf,the temperature,pH value and treatment time.Moreover,the mechanism was speculated for the removal of Cr(VI)in this study.As proved,Cr(VI)would be eliminated with either the leaf extracts or the leaf modification products with the pH value from 3to 11,moreover,the leaf extracts had stronger removal ability than leaves when the contents for polyphenols and flavone were comparative in the system.The ability for removing hexavalent chromium was 5.3 mg/g for leaves and 62.5 mg/g for leaf extracts in the optimum conditions.In a word,these results provided an option to remove Cr(VI)and to utilize Eupatorium odoratum L..


In previous researches on jet in crossflow (JICF), which is applied for the liquid jet injection system of airbreathing propulsion systems or rocket engine system, more than 20 different correlations of jet penetration have been proposed. In these proposed correlations, the relationships between jet penetration and the various flow parameters (momentum flux ratio, Reynolds number, Weber number, viscosity ratio, etc.) were defined. But, most of these studies were carried out using the single orifice injector (SOI). In this study, in order to define the interference effects of liquid jet penetration in crossflow, the double orifice injector (DOI) is adopted. First, the jet penetration correlation of SOI according to the crossflow temperature controlled by the vitiated air heater is proposed. The jet penetration height for heated crossflow is lower than that for cold crossflow because of the increase of crossflow velocity despite the lower density. The jet penetration correlation of DOI is derived for variations of injector orifice spacing. In the case of the DOI, since the front liquid jet acts as a shield of the rear liquid jet, the jet penetration with DOI is higher than that with SOI. With the double orifice injector, the rear jet penetration height is increased as the nozzle spacing is decreased. And, The penetration height correlation for the rear liquid jet with DOI was developed. As the nozzle spacing increases, the jet penetration height decreases; therefore, an inverse relationship between nozzle spacing and jet penetration height is expected.


This paper is situated within the growing literature on globalization and environment issues as a vital sector in international security. Using a game theoretic approach, it makes hypothetical assumptions on how the impact of globalization on the environment will lead to future security problems in two dimensions- horizontal and vertical.

One of the most prominent points of out-migration from China historically, since 1978 Taishan has again experienced substantial out-migration. My research seeks to describe the effects of monetary inputs from Chinese transnationals in the form of remittances, donations, and investments on social and economic transformation in Taishan. To date, the distinct and joint effects of these on ongoing socio-economic developments in China have not been systematically examined. My research demonstrates that transnational remittances, donations, and to a lesser degree investments, have intensive and permanent influences on households, communities and regions. A large proportion of the residents of Taishan receive remittances via transnational ties. Remittances, a primary income source for many recipients, contribute adversely to the stratification of incomes in the community and have a strong influence on the lifestyles and economic strategies of recipients. Large volumes of transnational donations have effectively modernized schools, hospitals, libraries, village planning, transportation and other sectors in local regions. Local governments therefore depend heavily upon such support for the public sector. Meanwhile, transnational investments in industries, few at first but many in recent years, have gradually changed the economic structure of Taishan, stimulating industrialization and increasing demographic diversity by attracting migrant workers from other places. The joint effects the synergy of transnational remittances, donations, and investments on socio-economic transformation in Taishan form a "transnational development pattern" that is distinct from the industrialization-orientated development course observable in other parts of the Pearl River delta and other coastal regions of China. Underlying the


A central question in aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is when and how neural substrates underlying decision-making are altered. Here we show that while APP mice, a commonly used mouse model of AD, were able to learn Restaurant Row, a complex neuroeconomic decision-making task, they were significantly impaired in procedural, habit-forming, aspects of cognition and relied heavily on deliberation when making decisions. Surprisingly, these behavioral changes are associated with amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology and network remodeling in the striatum, a key brain region involved in procedural cognition. Furthermore, APP mice and control mice relied on distinct sex-specific strategies in this neuroeconomic task. These findings provide foundational pillars to examine how aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases impact decision-making across sexes. They also highlight the need for complex behavioral tasks that allow for the dissociation of competing neurally-distinct decision-making circuits to get an accurate picture of changes in neurodegenerative models of human disease.


Gearing of different sizes and with different manners of loading are indispensable component of machines and devices. If during the periodic inspection a defect is found, the following question arises: how long such a gear-gearing can still safely operate. To be able to answer this question we have developed a theoretical model for determination of service life of gears on the basis of the shape factors and tooth stress intensity factor Z obtained from a model for generation of actual loadings.


The Heterolytic Fragmentation of Benzoin-O-(carbamoyl)oximes

While the known heterolytic fragmentation reactions give only three, thermal decomposition of benzoin-O-(carbamoyl)oximes results in at least four fragments: nitrile or isocyanide, carbonyl compound, CO2 and amine. This exception is due to the transformation of the nucleofugal group 3 into the unstable carbamic acid and its decomposition (s. Scheme 1). Since only the configuration of benzoin (E)-O-(carbamoyl)oximes is satisfactory for concerted reactions, we conclude that the nitrile producing fragmentation of these (E)-compounds is concerted, whereas in the isocyanide producing fragmentation of the corresponding (Z)-compounds several steps are involved. – In contrast to the benzoin-O-(carbamoyl)oximes the pyrolysis of benzil-(E)-O-(methylcarbamoyl)oxime starts with the elimination of methyl isocyanate and the following fragmentation is that of the oxime.

Solar eclipses are one of those rare yet predictable events which bear the potential to render impacts on the functioning of a solar power plant. Solar radiation being the input to a solar power plant, plays a vital role in the quality of power generated. However, this input radiation is useful only when the intensity is adequate enough to generate power. The intensity of solar radiation depends on various key factors but in context of a solar eclipse, there are certain additional factors that need necessary consideration without which the analysis can be incomplete and unintelligible. This paper shall at first introduce all such qualitative factors on which the intensity of solar radiation depends during any regular day and thereafter extend the study to a day with a solar eclipse. The qualitative interdependence of all these factors shall then be discussed with a view point of establishing a basis for the derivation of a relation between the same. In reality there are numerous factors affecting the incident radiation but the factors considered for this study shall be broadly restricted to location or latitude, time of the day or relative altitude of the sun and moon, time of the year or sidereal position of the earth, cloud cover, apparent diameter of the celestial bodies on the day of eclipse, magnitude and obscuration of the eclipse.


Fine nonwoody roots (<2 mm) of plants, which are responsible for most mineral and water absorption, are located in the upper 20 to 30 cm of soil. The rhizosphere, the zone around these fine roots, supports diverse microorganisms in great numbers. Dynamic rhizosphere processes involve microbial saprophytic, pathogenic, and symbiotic associations with plants. Certain species of saprophytic bacteria oxidize mineral elements, like P, into soluble forms, fix atmospheric N, stimulate root growth by producing plant growth regulators, act as biological deterrents to root-disease causing organisms, and decompose man-made and natural organic chemicals in the rooting zone. The major symbiotic associations on plant roots

Superfluid helium is primarily used in the field of applied superconductivity. Given the complexity of the magnet geometry and the scales involved, a real 3D simulation of heat transfer in such devices at the micro-channel scale is very difficult, even impossible. However, the repeatability or even periodicity of the structure suggests the possibility of a macro-scale description following a porous medium approach. Which macro-scale model may be used? This largely remains an open field while some answers have been proposed based on experimental or theoretical work.


A quad inserted into a turbulent boundary layer of a flat plate and its effect on average heat transfer and the friction coefficient is studied. To optimize this effect, the edge sizes and distance of the quad from the flat plate are continually modified. In each case, simultaneously the heat transfer enhancement and reduction in skin friction are analyzed. For optimization, the genetic algorithm technique is employed and the results of each step of progress studied by following the Pareto curves. Physical domain is divided into control volumes, over which flow equations are discretized. To deal with the turbulence, several turbulence schemes are examined and appearance of flow features and stability in hard environments are monitored. The ܩ െ turbulence model proved to give reliable solutions and stability to all the 1,600 cases under consideration. Based on the Pareto curve and with no single exceptions of the cases studied, results show that as the heat transfer coefficient rises, the skin friction falls simultaneously; in other words, there is an inverse relation between heat transfer enhancement and skin friction. Conclusion also made that the rate of heat transfer enhancement is more sensitive to modification on small area quads than those of large ones. Since the experimental validation of too many cases was impractical, random comparison between some numerical results and wind tunnel experiments is performed. The comparison showed that the numerical results are strongly in agreement with the experiments.


Educational psychologists (EPs) have long wrestled with the initiative-sapping effects of 'within-child' attributions and explanations of those who may otherwise be in a position to bring about positive changes for young people. The growing interest in consultative approaches inevitably focuses research attention towards the conversations that take place between those involved in such consultations. In this paper we examine the discursive practices and resources that a teacher and learning mentor utilise when describing a pupil's behaviour in a consultation with an EP. The full transcript of this consultation session was analysed with reference to discursive psychology and the discursive action model, with a particular focus on some of the discursive devices that were used. These devices enable speakers to portray their accounts as objective and factual and unmotivated by self-interest. We provide examples of these devices to illustrate the ways in which challenging behaviour may be located and maintained as a 'within-child' formulation.


a "super-set" fashion. One set of exercises for one body part was performed followed by a different exercise for the same area and this pairing was repeated on five occasions i.e. five super-sets per body part. The exercises were performed on a Universal Multigym, with which all four subjects were familiar and each subject did the same series of exercises. It is difficult to derive a formula to standardise the workload of a super-set programme for each subject, therefore all subjects were asked to train at their maximum level, which was their normal practice, using their training log books as reference. This programme, which was similar to their own training programme, was completed within 60 minutes and was followed by a recovery period of 60 minutes. During this period venesection was carried out at 0 (prior to exercise), 45, 60, 63, 66, 70, 90 and 120 minutes via
