The 15-minute Clarkdale quadrangle is in north-central Arizona, in Yavapai and Coconino Counties. It was mapped in 1952 and 1953 to determine the stratigraphic and structural setting, and the depth of sedimentary cover in the area north of the Precambrian massive sulflde copper deposits at Jerome, Ariz. The quadrangle includes three major topographic divisions. Part of the Colorado Plateau projects into the northern limits of the quadrangle and is bounded by an abrupt cliff referred to as the Mogollon Rim. Part of the Black Hills (Woodchute Mountain) extends into the south edge of the quadrangle. In the area between, low cuestalike hills are traversed by the Verde River, which follows a meandering course through the quadrangle from the west-central boundary to the southeast corner. The stratigraphy includes Precambrian rocks which crop out in small areas chiefly in the vicinity of Jerome and in the southwest corner of the? quadrangle. They are overlain unconformably by a thin unit the Tapeats sandstone (?) (Cambrian). Upon the Tapeats (?) rests the Martin limestone (Upper Devonian) with seemingly conformity, which in turn is overlain unconformably by the Red wall limestone (lower Mississippian). The Red wall is overlain unconformably by the Supai formation (Pennsylvanian and Permian), here subdivided into three members. Above the Supai in normal stratigraphic succession are the Coconino, Toroweap, and Kaibab formations (Permian); the only unconformity occurs between the Toroweap and Kaibab. Mesozoic rocks are not present in the quadrangle. Lava, gravel, carbonate lakebeds, and alluvium overlie considerable areas of the Paleozoic rocks. The lava and associated gravel beds are separated-by structural and physiographic features into two ages: Pliocene (?) (Hickey formation) and Pliocene (?) to Pleistocene (?) (Perkinsville and Verde formations). The structural features of the quadrangle, disregarding the Precambrian, belong to two general periods; an early period (late Triassic, Cretaceous, or early Tertiary age) which predates the Hickey formation (Pliocene ?), and a late period (late Tertiary or Quaternary) which postdates the Hickey. An uplift of the region to the southwest occurred in the early deformation and thereby tilted the Paleozoic strata producing a regional dip to the northeast of about 8°. Some normal faulting accompanied this early deformation. Erosion then beveled the tilted strata so that the oldest rocks are exposed in the southern and southwestern part of the quadrangle. The youngest rocks crop out to the northeast. During the Pliocene (?), the early lava flows of the Hickey formation were ex-


In this paper, we investigate application of graph theory to some biological problems, specially reconstructing strings based on information about their substrings and sequence comparison by using overlap graphs and also weighted directed graph.


We evaluated cloacal swab, vascular pulp of flight feather, and kidney and spleen pool samples from carcasses of members of the family Corvidae as sources of West Nile virus (WNV). The cloacal swab, kidney and spleen pool, and feather pulp, respectively, were the source of WNV in 38%, 43%, and 77% of the carcasses.


The larva of Stethorus caseyi Gordon & Chapin is described. This species was collected at several sites on the Texas High Plains, where it was found feeding upon colonies of tetranychid spider mites on corn, Zea mays L. The mature (fouth instar) larva is described and illustrated. A diagnosis is provided, separating the larva of S. caseyi from that of the two other Stethorus species (Stethorus nigripes Kapur and Stethorus histrio Chazeau) collected in the same geographical and ecological area. A discussion of the geographic range of S. caseyi is presented, especially in comparison with the two other introduced species with which it is sympatric in West Texas.

The research objectives were to investigate non-motor vehicle violation in signal intersection by studying behavior analysis. Non-motor vehicles' street-crossing behavior was examined by modeling the non-motor vehicles waiting time survival function at signalized crosswalk through survival analysis method. Statistical and analysis of the filtered traffic parameters such as drivers, road conditions and other factors on the age obtained regularities of non-motor vehicles violation and a contrast and reference value with pedestrians' violation serving as evaluation of the crowd and traffic characteristics for non-motor vehicles violation which can be used on other similar traffic behavior analysis and has some reference value.


We revisit the status of Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) \mu e qq contact interactions from the view point of \mu - e -conversion in nuclei. We consider their contribution to this LFV process via the two mechanisms on the hadronic level: direct nucleon and meson exchange ones. In the former case the quarks are embedded directly into the nucleons while in the latter in mesons which then interact with nucleons in a nucleus. We revise and in some cases reevaluate the hadronic parameters relevant for both mechanisms and calculate the contribution of the above mentioned contact interactions in coherent \mu - e -conversion in various nuclei. Then we update the existing upper bounds and also derive new ones for the scales of the \mu e qq contact interactions from the experimental limits on the capture rates of \mu - e -conversion. We compare these limits with the ones derived in the literature from other LFV processes and comment on the prospects of LHC searches related to the contact \mu e qq interactions.


Mediterranean coastal landscapes have suffered significant changes along the last decades due to agricultural intensification and tourism, that have altered the hydrological regime of wetlands, as has occurred in the Mar Menor (Southeast Spain). Such alterations and the consequent changes in nutrient flows are threatening the conservation of these wetlands. We analyze the effects of these ecosystemic changes on the bird assemblages, focusing on two especially sensitive communities: waterbirds and steppe passerines. Waterbirds have shown dramatic changes in their relative abundances in the lagoon, with a long-term decline in the most characteristic original species, increases in generalist piscivores and a recent appearance and rapid growth of herbivores. Among steppe passerines, the family Alaudidae has lost importance to the benefit of Turdidae and Fringillidae. These changes can be considered a loss of value in relation with the original community, since the wetland qualifies as a Specially Protected Areas under the EU's Bird Directive, precisely on the basis of its genuine steppe bird assemblage. In conclusion, the changes at wetlands scale clearly reflect the hydrological modifications at the watershed scale and have significant effects on the most characteristic biodiversity of the wetlands of coastal arid systems.


Economy continues to grow rapidly especially supported by the advancement of science and technology which increasingly encourages the creation of economic practices that have never happened in the past, the distance between one country and another is getting closer, so it is possible to do transactions between countries both individually and institutionally. In the fields of trade, investment, export-import, stock exchange, leasing, buying and selling, bonds and almost all developing economic practices require answers and legal solutions for Muslims so that their implementation is in accordance with the guidelines of Islamic law, for the sake of the realization of the benefit and goodness of the world and the hereafter. Al-Khuluw (releasing rights) is one of the economic practices developed today in the lease agreement. This practice has developed in several Islamic countries, such as Egypt, Morocco, Iraq and Syria. Al-Khuluw practice is a contract in which the land owner, house or shophouse asks for a sum of money outside the rental price according to the agreement as compensation for him who has rented the place to the tenant or the owner gives money outside the rental price according to the tenant to cancel the contract in the middle the road due to certain reasons, or the first tenant rents his place to the second tenant by accepting money outside the rental price according to the agreement as compensation for the first tenant.

We consider quantum effects of gravitational and electromagnetic fields in spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes in the asymptotic safety scenario. Introducing both the running gravitational and electromagnetic couplings from the renormalization group equations and applying a physically sensible scale identification scheme based on the Kretschmann scalar, we construct a quantum mechanically corrected, or quantum improved Reissner-Nordstrom metric. We study the global structure of the quantum improved geometry and show, in particular, that the central singularity is resolved, being generally replaced with a regular Minkowski-core, where the curvature tensor vanishes. Exploring cases with more general scale identifications, we further find that the space of quantum improved geometries is divided into two regions: one for geometries with a regular Minkowski-core and the other for those with a weak singularity at the center. At the boundary of the two regions, the geometry has either Minkowski-, de Sitter-, or anti-de Sitter(AdS)-core.


1,2,3-triazoles represent a functional heterocyclic core that has been at the center of modern organic chemistry since the beginning of click chemistry. Being a versatile framework, such an aromatic ring can be observed in uncountable molecules useful in medicine and photochemistry, just to name a few. This review summarizes the progress achieved in their synthesis from 2015 to today, with particular emphasis on the development of new catalytic and eco-compatible approaches. In doing so, we subdivided the report based on their degree of functionalization and, for each subparagraph, we outlined the role of the catalyst employed.


Rising food prices, rapid urbanization, robust economic growth, and widening inequality over the past decade have fundamentally transformed the environment in which agriculture operates in developing countries. These changes affect not only farmer cropping patterns and livestock management practices, but also the role natural resources play in their livelihoods.This guidebook presents a questionnaire module template and related information to facilitate data collection of trees on farms in multi-topic and agricultural household surveys in low and middle-income countries (L and MICs). It offers a practical toolbox for improving the understanding of the contribution of trees on farms to household welfare and livelihoods. The guidebook also provides insights into data collection in relation to the agroforestry and climate smart agriculture practices and impacts. Implementation of the module presented here will generate information that decision-makers and survey practitioners can use to understand the stock of trees on farms and the links between on-farm trees and household welfare.


Power quality, reliability, loss reduction, and fault clearing times are essential factors in distribution networks. Radial distribution networks often face two problems, line losses and voltage drop at the end of the grid. Connecting distributed generation (DG) can resolve these problems, but it can also cause miscoordination. Protection coordination in the presence of DGs is a major challenge of radial networks. Herein, the optimal location and size of DGs in a radial distribution network protected by fuse and recloser were determined to modify bus voltage profile and reduce active-reactive lines' losses. Since the protection coordinate was eliminated by connecting DGs to the network, by using the SFCL in the output of DGs and minimizing its size, it attempted to restore the protection coordination between the fuse and the recloser. In this method, a nonlinear multi-objective function was introduced to be optimized by genetic and PSO algorithms. The simulation was performed in DIgSILENT software. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified via IEEE 33-bus test systems.


Following the outline of the history of SinoWestern relations in chapter 1, the author tackles the concept of Occidentalism—that is, reductive Eastern perceptions of the West—in chapter 2, "Occidentalism (Re)Considered." In a wide-ranging, sometimes circuitous discussion, Conceison argues that Occidentalism is not simply a reverse Orientalism. Referencing such authors as Edward Said, Sadik Jalal al-'Azm, J. Timothy Wixted, Frank Dikötter, Xiaomei Chen, James Carrier, and Lisa Lowe, she describes Occidentalism as an "openended, changing, active, and self-consciously temporal" (54) discourse that exists in paradoxical and continuous dialogue. She suggests that subjectivity in postmodernity is never stable, and instead of a theoretical focus on a unitary Occidentalism, one should reveal the possibility of divergent subjectivities, "conflicting representations," and related "contradictory approaches," including Eugene Eoyang's "four-cornered subjectivities" (54)—the conception borrowed from Chinese logic that embraces the possibility that multiple subjective identities can evolve from similar experiences. This notion emerges as the heart of her definition of Occidentalism when she operationalizes it in later chapters. Ultimately, she argues that contemporary Chinese theatre reveals the complexity of this multifaceted dialogue and its resistance to easy formulations of Occidentalism as a reverse Orientalism.


The energy spread in the beam of a Li + ion-conductor source was analysed by beams of a Wien-filter ion spectrometer. The contribution of the Boersch effect was separated from the thermal energy spread and the energetic apparatus profile. Within the ion-current range of 5 to 500 nA where the beam geometry was proved to be constant, the variance component due to the Boersch effect was found to depend linearly on the ion current. The experimental results agree well with the quantitative predictions from the theories of Rose and Spehr and of Jansen.


This work aimed at studying the isotopic composition of the elements strontium (Sr) and lead (Pb), that are present in low concentrations in a large variety of archaeological artefacts. For isotope ratio analysis, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) – a powerful technique for the determination of trace elements and isotope ratios – was used. An analytical strategy was developed, consisting of three key steps: (i) the complete dissolution of a small amount of the (solid) archaeological artefacts making use of concentrated mineral acids, allowing a quantitative recovery for Sr and/or Pb to be obtained, (ii) the isolation of Sr or Pb from its concomitant matrix via extraction chromatography, so that a purified Sr or Pb fraction was obtained and a quantitative recovery for Sr or Pb was established, and (iii) the accurate and precise determination of the isotopic composition of Sr and Pb via single-collector ICP-MS (equipped with one detector) and multi-collector ICP-MS (equipped with an array of detectors). The analytical strategy developed was subsequently applied to three archaeological projects. A first project made use of lead isotopic analysis for provenance determination of metallic artefacts in order to obtain insight into the metal trading network and the trade routes between the Roman Empire and the Indian subcontinent in the period 1st century BC – 2nd century AD. In a second project, lead isotopic analysis allowed to identify the sources of high lead concentrations retrieved in the bone tissue of infants from a Roman settlement. It was shown that the lead present in the infant bone tissue is a mix of lead originating from (i) the process of diagenesis – post-mortem lead exchange between bone and soil – and (ii) lead-enriched food consumed by the mother. A third project aimed at obtaining insight into the heterogeneity of the populations of two grave fields. An explorative study was carried out to distinguish individuals that lived locally and individuals that migrated during their life. For this purpose, the dental tissues (enamel and dentine) of a number of individuals were submitted to strontium isotopic analysis.


The hippocampus provides neuroscientists with one of the most striking neural phenomena in any high-order brain area: the encoding of the animal's self location. As the animal moves through the environment, individual hippocampal pyramidal cells become active, mainly when the animal passes through a


Aims: We assessed gender differences in pre-event health status (symptoms, functioning, quality of life) in young patients with acute myocardial infarction and whether or not this association persists following sequential adjustment for important covariates. We also evaluated the interaction between gender and prior coronary artery disease, given that aggressive symptom control is a cornerstone of care in those with known coronary disease. Methods and results: A total of 3501 acute myocardial infarction patients (2349 women) aged 18–55 years were enrolled from 103 US/24 Spanish hospitals (2008–2012). Clinical/health status information was obtained by medical record abstraction and patient interviews. Pre-event health status was measured by generic (Short Form-12, EuroQoL) and disease-specific (Seattle Angina Questionnaire) measures. T-test/chi-square and multivariable linear/logistic regression analysis was utilized, sequentially adjusting for covariates. Women had more co-morbidities and significantly lower generic mean health scores than men (Short Form-12 physical health = 43±12 vs. 46±11 and mental health = 44±13 vs. 48±11); EuroQoL utility index = 0.7±0.2 vs. 0.8±0.2 and visual analog scale = 63±22 vs. 67±20, P < 0.0001 for all. Their disease-specific health status was also worse, with more angina (Seattle Angina Questionnaire angina frequency = 83±22 vs. 87±18), worse physical function (physical limitation = 78±27 vs. 87±21) and poorer quality of life (55±25 vs. 60±22, P<0.0001 for all). In multivariable analysis, the association between female gender and worse generic physical/mental health persisted, as well as worse disease-specific physical limitation and quality of life. The interaction between gender and prior coronary artery disease was not significant in any of the health status outcomes. Conclusion: Young women have worse pre-event health status as compared with men, regardless of their coronary artery disease history. While future studies of gender differences should adjust for baseline health status, an opportunity may exist to better address the pre-event health status of women at risk for acute myocardial infarction.


A far infrared spectroscopic system, covering the wavelength region between 50 ?m and capable of variable spectral resolution between 100 and 1000, has been built. The spectroscopic system is described in some detail. It is comprised of a monochromator, which utilizes five different echelette gratings, each of which covers one octave, of a radiometric system for absolute power calibration, and of various cryogenic and room temperature detectors. The system works in two modes: a continuous mode using the absolute power calibration, the radiometer, and continuous standard radiation sources, and a pulsed mode without the radiometer for plasma radiation studies. In this manner the power spectrum of the observed pulsed plasma radiation is absolutely calibrated. A rather new method in monochromator design utilizing ray transfer matrix method and phase space diagrams is discussed, and various optical errors in the system are evaluated. The method of performing and the evaluation of radiation studies utilizing this system is presented. The system will be used in the very near future to measure the far infrared radiation from several of our fusion experiments: from Texas Tokamak, a large experimental fusion device; from a small, adiabatically heated, symmetric, hot electron stellarator; and from some other hot plasma devices. These experiments have strong magnetic fields, ranging between 30 to 5OkG. Moreover, high electron temperatures--between 1 to 20 keV--are expected, so that the synchrotron radiation in the far infrared will be appreciable. Synchrotron radiation from Tokamak as a function of the electron temperature and density is discussed.

Karl Svozil† Institut für Theoretische Physik, University of Technology Vienna, Wiedner Hauptstraße 8-10/136, A-1040 Vienna, Austria Abstract Bell-type inequalities and violations thereof reveal the f undamental differences between standard probability theory and its quantum counterpart. In the course of previous investigations ultimate bounds on quantum mechanical violations have been found. For example , Tsirelson's bound constitutes a global upper limit for quantum violations of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony -Holt (CHSH) and the Clauser-Horne (CH) inequalities. Here we investigate a method for calculating th e precise quantum bounds on arbitrary Bell-type inequalities by solving the eigenvalue problem for the oper ator associated with each Bell-type inequality. Thereby, we use the min-max principle to calculate the norm o f these self-adjoint operators from the maximal eigenvalue yielding the upper bound for a particular set of measurement parameters. The eigenvectors corresponding to the maximal eigenvalues provide the quant um state for which a Bell-type inequality is maximally violated.


Ewing's sarcoma is a primary bone tumour that usually occurs in the first two decades of life. The diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma in pregnancy is very rare; there are only sixteen cases published in the literature. We present the seventeenth case of a 34 years old woman diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma at 32 weeks gestation. The patient was treated with chemotherapy after the safe delivery of her healthy baby by caesarean section at 35 weeks gestation. Overall maternal and fetal outcomes are good when treatment is administered promptly and under the care of a multi-disciplinary team.


A new method of overvoltage protection in the supply path of CMOS circuits is described. The central device of the protection circuit is a CMOS-compatible npn bipolar transistor (BJT) which uses no n+ buried layer and can be manufactured in a simple p-well CMOS process without additional process steps. The device is especially suitable for high-voltage applications in electrically hostile environments such as automotive circuits.

The opportunities for big IoT data architecture are discussed. Further more challenges face by the architecture are also explained.


In a recent study of z ⩾ 0.1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we found that 21 cm absorption has never been detected in objects in which the ultraviolet luminosity exceeds LUV ∼ 1023 W Hz−1. In this paper, we further explore the implications that this has for the currently popular consensus that it is the orientation of the circumnuclear obscuring torus, invoked by unified schemes of AGNs, which determines whether absorption is present along our sight line. The fact that at LUV ≲ 1023 W Hz−1, both type-1 and type-2 objects exhibit a 50% probability of detection, suggests that this is not the case and that the bias against detection of H i absorption in type-1 objects is due purely to the inclusion of the LUV ≳ 1023 W Hz−1 sources. Similarly, the ultraviolet luminosities can also explain why the presence of 21 cm absorption shows a preference for radio galaxies over quasars and the higher detection rate in compact sources, such as compact steep spectrum or gigahertz peaked spectrum sources, may also be biased by the inclusion of high-luminosity sources. Being comprised of all 21 cm searched sources at z ⩾ 0.1, this is a necessarily heterogeneous sample, the constituents of which have been observed by various instruments. By this same token, however, the dependence on the UV luminosity may be an all encompassing effect, superseding the unified schemes model, although there is the possibility that the exclusive 21 cm non-detections at high UV luminosities could be caused by a bias toward gas-poor ellipticals. Additionally, the high UV fluxes could be sufficiently exciting/ionizing the H i above 21 cm detection thresholds, although the extent to which this is related to the neutral gas deficit in ellipticals is currently unclear. Examining the moderate UV luminosity (LUV ≲ 1023 W Hz−1) sample further, from the profile widths and offsets from the systemic velocities, we find no discernible differences between the two AGN types. This may suggest that the bulk of the absorption generally occurs in the galactic disk, which must therefore be randomly orientated with respect to the circumnuclear torus. Furthermore, we see no difference in the reddening between the two AGN types, indicating, like the 21 cm absorption, that the orientation of the torus has little bearing on this. We also find a correlation between 21 cm line strength and the optical–near-infrared color, which suggests that the reddening is caused by dust located in the large-scale, H i absorbing disk which intervenes the sight line to the AGN.


AbstractAutism impacts to growth disorder cause of brain defect so that influence to communication, behavior, and social interaction disorder. Behavior disorder happened to autism children was hyperactive behavior which was signed that children could not be calm. The children often left the seat during learning activity. If let it go, it would disturb the children's concentration and learning process could not be done effectifely. Therefore, it required a teratment which could deerease the hyperactive behavior of autism children. One of the behavior modification techmiques which hoped that could decrease the hyperactive behavior of autism children was token economic. Using conditioned reinforcement which called token economic, the children's behavior not to leave their seat could be optimized.The purpose of this research was to descrease hyperactive behavior of autism children in Putra Harapan special school Sidoarjo with token economic.This research used Single Subject Research (SSR) with A-B basic design and the dat collection technique in this research was observation and documentation methods. The data collected from the observation result was analyzed with simply descriptive statistic i.e. using visual analysis component inside condition and among condition.This research was done for 19 sessions to the first subject, and 13 sessions to the second subject with the data collectin method, documentation and observation. From the research result, stability level and baseline phase range indicated variable data or unstable with 2-4 range of stability tendency 60% to the first subject and 1-3 range of stability tendency 40% to the second subject while in intervention phase it indicated stable dat with 0-3 range of stability tendency 85,71% to the first subject and 1-2 range with stability tendency 87,55% to the second subject. The overlap data percentage indicated 7,143% to the first subject and 12,5% to the second subject, it indicated that the intervention influenced foward behavior target. In this way, it could be concluded that there was decreasing hyperactive behavior to autism children through token economic.Keywords : Hyperactive, token economic

The present paper gives an extended review on applications of electron diffraction techniques to practical problems in materials science, such as (1) determination of structure factors and temperature factors by the critical voltage and intersecting Kikuchi line (IKL) methods, (2) measurement of local lattice parameters by convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED), (3) determination of partial degree of order in ternary alloys by IKL-ALCHEMI method, and (4) determination of structure factors by energy filtering CBED. The emphasis is placed on recent achievements of electron diffraction as a tool of quantitative crystallography of materials.


A double-tuned NMR microprobe with dual RF microcoil assemblies was fabricated and tested. The coils for the proton and X (low frequency) nuclei were a variant of a loop gap resonator and Helmholtz pair, respectively. 1-D 31P spectra of phosphoric acid and 13C-labeled spectra of methanol were recorded from 1.4-μL samples. Signal was easily observable in one scan. A COSY spectrum of 13C-labeled acetic acid was acquired in ∼1 h, demonstrating sufficient sensitivity to perform 2-D 13C direct detect experiments. Thus, the ability to obtain direct detection spectra of low-γ nuclei is demonstrated.


Assessment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relies on expert clinician observation and judgment, but objective measurement tools have the potential to provide additional information on ASD symptom severity. Diagnostic evaluations for ASD typically include the autism diagnostic observation schedule (ADOS‐2), a semi‐structured assessment composed of a series of social presses. The current study examined associations between concurrent objective features of child vocalizations during the ADOS‐2 and examiner‐rated autism symptom severity. The sample included 66 children (49 male; M = 40 months, SD = 10.58) evaluated in a university‐based clinic, 61 of whom received an ASD diagnosis. Research reliable administration of the ADOS‐2 provided social affect (SA) and restricted and repetitive behavior (RRB) calibrated severity scores (CSS). Audio was recorded from examiner‐worn eyeglasses during the ADOS‐2 and child and adult speech were differentiated with LENA SP Hub. PRAAT was used to ascertain acoustic features of the audio signal, specifically the mean fundamental vocal frequency (F0) of LENA‐identified child speech‐like vocalizations (those with phonemic content), child cry vocalizations, and adult speech. Sphinx‐4 was employed to estimate child and adult phonological features indexed by the average consonant and vowel count per vocalization. More than a quarter of the variance in ADOS‐2 RRB CSS was predicted by the combination of child phoneme count per vocalization and child vocalization F0. Findings indicate that both acoustic and phonological features of child vocalizations are associated with expert clinician ratings of autism symptom severity.

Since n can be replaced by 2n, there is no loss of generality in assuming that ait , x{ in A, x are real-valued. This will always be assumed in what follows. The trivial solution, x(i) = 0, of (4) will be excluded. Then, if x(t) is any solution vector of (4), there cannot exist any t0 for which x(t0) = 0 (where 0 is the zero vector). For, on the one hand, x(t) = 0 is a solution of (4) satisfying the initial condition x(t0) = 0 and, on the other hand, any initial condition determines a solution x(t) of (4) uniquely. Accordingly, if r(t) denotes the length of the vector x(t), then


Over the last few years, Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute had prepared for introducing the SLR system in Korea. Even though we spent a lot of time to overcome the many barriers just same as other projects, we could finally start the ARGO project to make the series of SLR from this year. ARGO, new SLR systems of Korea, stands for the Accurate Ranging system for Geodetic Observation and this was the name of ship on which Jason and Argonauts voyaged to retrieve the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology. The goal of ARGO project is to make two SLR systems, one is a 40 centimeter mobile SLR system and another one is an 1 meter fixed SLR system, and to start the operation from the year 2011 and 2013 respectively. The participants of ARGO project are involved in five working groups related with the components of SLR system, for example Electro-Optics, to work more specifically. Due to their efforts including the visiting to several SLR sites in abroad, we could determined the more detailed requirements and scheduling for ARGO system. In this paper, we will give the current status and future plan of ARGO project with the context of requirements and scheduling of ARGO.


Jurgen Habermas is second generation German scientist from the Frankfurt school as well as aperson who wants to revise the thoughts of the first generations Frankfurt school figures. Histhoughts on liberation from colonialism (theoretical and social praxis), the natural sciences, social and critical sciences, the neo-Marxist spirit for change, the impasse of the first generations Frankfurt school (enlightenment dialectic) and communicative rationality in language (returning linguistics). The writing uses literature review method, primary data sources are: books and articles related to Jurgen Habermas. Then present in a descriptive narrative. There is a demand for libraries in technology development. Libraries experience a dilemma, the existence of technology will eliminate the dignity of the library as a public space, technology will have an impact on public space. The results of this study, namely: 1) the public space that was once full of liberation ideas was colonized by capitalism; 2) digital public space was born from technological developments; and 3) phenomenon in the 21st century since the birth of social media people no longer read books. In conclusion, that is the library is one of the affected public spaces. However, the challenges of the digital era, libraries must keep up with the era while still carrying out their function to provide information for users because of the function of practical scientific interests.

Sustainable development in all organisations is a necessity of today and tomorrow. In this paper we aim to link the importance of sustainable development through the prism of environmental management in relation to communication and communication in small businesses. It is undoubtedly true that communication in small businesses, as in all other organisations, is linked to both the internal and external environment and thus also to the specificities of the stakeholders. In the internal environment, communication is primarily employee-centred, while the external environment offers a wider variety, from customers, suppliers, competitors, the local environment, etc. This paper will touch upon the importance of both environments from the point of view of the managerial position and from the point of view of the relationships that are formed in the communication process.


In this paper, the terms of Lascoux and boundary maps for the skew-partition (11,7,5) / (1,1,1) are found by using the Jacobi-Trudi matrix of partition. Further, Lascoux resolution is studied by using a mapping Cone without depending on the characteristic-free resolution of the Weyl module for the same skew-partition.


As the relation between diet and health became a priority for the consumers, the development of healthy foods enriched with functional ingredients increased substantially. Dairy products represent an alternative for new products and can be used to enhance the functional and nutritional value of bakery products. The addition of yoghurt and curd cheese to wheat bread was studied, and the impact on the dough rheology, microstructure, bread quality, and sensory properties were evaluated. Dairy product additions from 10 to 50 g and higher levels up to 70 g of yoghurt and 83 g of curd cheese were tested. Replacements were performed on wheat flour basis and water absorption. It was observed that the yoghurt additions had a positive impact on the rheology characteristics of the dough. For curd cheese additions, the best dough evaluated on extension was the 30 g of wheat flour formulation. In both cases, the microstructure analysis supported the results obtained for doughs and breads. These breads showed a significant improvement on nutrition profile, which is important to balance the daily diet in terms of major and trace minerals and is important for health-enhancing and maintenance. Good sensorial acceptability for breads with 50 g of yoghurt and 30 g of curd cheese was obtained.

Projects of accident research analysis are mostly focused on accidents involving personal damage. Property damage only has a high frequency of occurrence combined with high economic impact. This paper describes main influencing parameters for the extent of damage and presents a repair cost model. For a prospective evaluation method of the monetary effect of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) it is necessary to be aware of and quantify all influencing parameters. Furthermore, this method allows the evaluation of vehicle concepts in combination with an ADAS at an early point in time of the product development process. In combination with a property damage database and the introduced repair cost model relevant test scenarios for specific vehicle configuration and their individual property damage risk may be determined. Currently, equipment rates of ADAS are low and a purchase incentive for customers would be beneficial. The next ADAS generation will prevent property damage to a large extent or at least reduce damage severity. Both effects may be a purchasing incentive for the customer and thus contribute to increased traffic safety.


Nambu–Goto action in classical bosonic string model for hadrons predicts quark-antiquark potential to be (Luscher and Weisz. JHEP 07, 049 (2002). doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2002/07/049) V(r) = −(γ/r) + σr + μ0. In this report we present studies of masses of heavy flavour mesons in higher dimension with our recently developed wave functions obtained following string inspired potential. We report the dimensional dependence of the masses of mesons. Our results suggest that as the meson mass increases with the number of extra spatial dimensions, it will attain the Planck scale (∼1019 GeV) asymptotically at an astronomically large spatial dimension (we call it Planck dimension) DPlanck ∼ 1011, which sets the limit of applicability of Schrodinger equation in large dimension.


Stop bands in auxetic periodic structures including resonators are investigated in this paper. In aerospace field, sandwich panels like honeycombs are mainly used for their structural properties, and can present some advantages for vibroacoustics control. Auxetic structures seem to give enhanced properties for wave propagation control, and have been used here to perform the analysis. Resonators are included to open resonant band gaps in addition to the Bragg band gaps given by the periodicity of the core. Studies on the number of resonators inside the unit cell have been performed for a constant mass to identify the configuration which are able to open stop bands at low frequency range. Also, a parametric analysis on the resonator properties is done to compare the benefit concerning wave propagation while having a reasonable added mass for the core structure.


Total protein and apo A-I synthesis were studied in suspensions of isolated hepatocytes from winter- and summer-acclimatized carp. The overall protein synthesis in liver is significantly higher in summer-adapted fish. Although apo A-I synthesis accounts for the same fraction of the total protein synthesis when assayed at the seasonal environmental temperature in both adaptive states, winter-acclimatized fish synthesize apo A-I at 10°C at a higher rate than the summer fish. Thus, reprogramming of apo A-I synthesis accompanies the adaptative compensatory response.

Differences were found in the apo A-I content in liver of carp acclimatized to the cold and warm seasons. The low apo A-I content found in the liver of winter-acclimatized carp reverses upon treatment of the fish with insulin. This apo A-I enhancement leads to hepatocytes resembling those of the summer-acclimatized state.

genus commonly found in the western hemisphere. In the eastern U.S., the bald eagle is the largest raptor and is commonly associated with large bodies of water. Bald eagles are considered common in South Florida and are known to breed throughout the state. Nest sites are usually located near large rivers, lakes, or estuaries where the eagle feeds primarily on fish and water-dependant birds. This large raptor was adversely affected by the bioaccumulation of pesticides, principally DDT. These organochlorines interfered with calcium metabolism, which resulted in eggshell thinning. Reduced productivity resulted in population declines and jeopardized the existence of this species. Banning of DDT and other organochlorines during the early 1970s reversed the decline in bald eagle numbers throughout its range. In Florida, overall bald eagle nesting has increased from a few hundred nesting territories in 1973 to 831 in 1995. Similar increases in nesting activity have been documented throughout the remainder of its range. Current threats to the bald eagle include: habitat fragmentation and loss, collisions with cars and powerlines, and shooting. In recognition of increases in the eagle population, efforts are currently underway to reevaluate the management of bald eagles in the southeastern U.S. and to refine conservation recommendations to reduce eaglehuman conflict. This account represents South Florida's contribution to the range-wide recovery plan for the bald eagle (FWS 1989).


OBJECT
To determine the potential of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for immunomodulatory mechanism in mice model of allergic rhinitis (AR).

METHODS
BMSCs were isolated and the surface markers and stemness were analyzed. The effect of BMSCs was evaluated in BALB/c mice that were randomly divided into three groups (control group, ovalbumin (OVA) group, OVA+BMSCs group). BMSCs were administered intravenously to OVA sensitized mice on days 1, 7, 14 and 21, and subsequent OVA challenge was conducted daily from days 22 to 35. Several parameters of allergic inflammation were assessed.

RESULTS
Mesenchymal stem cells can be successfully isolated from bone marrow of mice. Intravenous injection of BMSCs significantly reduced allergic symptoms, eosinophil infiltration, OVA-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), T-helper 2 (Th2) cytokine profile (interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-13) and regulatory cytokines (IL-10). In addition, level of Th1 (IFN-γ) was significantly increased.

CONCLUSION
Administration of BMSCs effectively reduced allergic symptoms and inflammatory parameters in the mice model of AR. BMSCs treatment is potentially an alternative therapeutic modality in AR.

A major attraction of a floating wave power plant as opposed to a fixed Oscillating water column (OWC) plant is in the cost of construction. The price paid is in the lower efficiency of conversion in the hydrodynamic stage. This puts onus on the subsequent power module stage in achieving an efficiency that is necessary for a commercial plant. A new backward bent ducted buoy (BBDB) was designed in which the power module is a twin unidirectional turbine. Basic experimentation on the power module is done on a turbine with 165 mm diameter and characterized with bidirectional flow with widely varying flow rates. The efficiency is shown to be better than 68% over the expected working range. The details of a plant producing 50 kW for Indian conditions is described. The range of powers over which a BBDB structure compares with a fixed OWC is highlighted.

There were statistically significant differences in both the medical personnel dose (P =.002, Student t test) and the dose area product (P =.009, Student t test).

CONCLUSION
Digital magnification decreased the medical personnel dose by 67% and the patient dose by 36% during segmental chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.


The TRIP effect enhances the work hardening behavior of steel and provides high strength and high ductility. In the design of TRIP‐assisted steel components based on numerical simulation, the TRIP effect must be considered to ensure a reliable stress analysis. The influence of the TRIP effect on the properties of the 1.4301 austenitic stainless steel was studied experimentally and numerically in order to evaluate the ability of a phase transformation model to quantitatively describe the TRIP effect for various loading conditions. Uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at different strain rates. During plastic deformation stress increased significantly indicating phase transformation. The martensite volume fraction was determined "in situ" using a ferritescope. The influence of temperature on the martensite formation was analyzed at different strain rates using a thermo camera. The experimentally characterized deformation behavior of the tested steel was simulated using a model based on Olson and Cohen approach, which was implemented as UHARD subroutine in the ABAQUS software. The phase transformation was simulated for two different specimen geometries under quasi‐static conditions.


Abstract Six confluent education strategics, or modes of instruction which integrate cognitive and affective concerns, were developed and systematically used in eight high school classrooms for 120 students identified as learning disabled. The academic and behavioural effects of their use over one school semester were evaluated. Significant gains were found on academic measures of word recognition, reading comprehension, math computation and problem‐solving. In addition, patterns of behavioural change reported by teachers in post‐study interviews included: hurtful remarks and actions decreased, communication "opened up," co‐operation increased, and affection developed.

Repeated traumatic brain injuries (TBI) pose a unique challenge for both clinical and forensic-medical investigations. The link between the consequences of repeated traumas and previous injuries can be extremely complex due to the similarity of symptoms and pathological changes observed in repeat injuries.
Results. The case demonstrates that a severe closed TBI previously suffered by the victim could have contributed to the occurrence of intracranial complications upon subsequent TBI, leading to altered directions of cavitation waves as a result of head impacts and the formation of new contusional foci within previously affected areas, as well as the development of intracranial hemorrhages. The previously suffered severe traumatic brain injury should only be regarded as an unfavorable factor that did not serve as a condition for the development of the repeated TBI and was not causally linked to it but could have facilitated the formation of the extent of the repeated TBI.
Conclusions. The presented case highlights that a comprehensive approach utilizing additional laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods allows for the differentiation of TBIs occurring at different time intervals. Further research on repeated traumatic brain injuries is necessary.


In this paper, an experimental study was performed to determine the performance of the grooved heat pipe using DI water based Copper nanofluid as the working fluid.

The experiment was conducted with various heat inputs from 30 to 70 W with 10 W intervals, inclination angle varies from 0°to 90 ° with 15° interval, filling ratio varies from 25 % to 125 % with 25% interval with constant flow rate of coolant in the condenser section as 80 ml/ sec. The efficiency and thermal resistance of the grooved heat pipe has been determined and it was observed that 75 % filling ratio and 60°orientation of the heat pipe has more excellent performance.


Differential evolution (DE) algorithms have been extensively and frequently applied to solve optimizationproblems. Theoretical analyses of their properties are important to understand the underlying mechanismsand to develop more efficient algorithms. In this paper, firstly, we introduce an absorbing Markovsequence to model a DE algorithm. Secondly, we propose and prove two theorems that provide sufficientconditions for DE algorithm to guarantee converging to the global optimality region. Finally, we design two DE algorithms that satisfy the preconditions of the two theorems, respectively. The two proposed algorithmsare tested on the CEC2013 benchmark functions, and compared with other existing algorithms.Numerical simulations illustrate the converge, effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed algorithms.


To promote genetic researches and breeding science of Pacific abalone, we are begin ning to develop the isolation and characterization the hyper-variable markers such as microsatellite DNA. Microsatellite DNA markers are expected to provide an invaluable tool for this purpose because of the power and ability of microsattellite DNA markers in regard to resolution for genetic relatedness among individuals or populations. Here, we describe the applications to the aquacul -ture techniques of abalone using microsatellite DNA markers. Comparing the genetic variability of microsattelite DNA with that of allozyme in natural and artificial populations, the variability observed in microsatellite DNA analysis was evidently higher than that observed in allozyme analy sis. The fact was suggesting that the microsatellites DNA should prove useful as sensitive genetic markers to estimate genetic variability. As the application to the discrimination of individuals, the estimation of the traits of pedigree in mixed rearing populations was initiated to establish using five microsatellite DNA markers in Pacific abalone. The group that was strong to withering syndrome was found from survival groups against the disease. The feasibility of pedigree analysis using microsatellite DNA markers could be ascertained. It is considered that the development of abun dant number of microsatellite DNA markers in abalone promote the genetics and breeding science and become one of the most useful approaches to develop the aquaculture techniques.


The study aims to describe how to implement air flight travel costs to determine ticket fare on Al Boraq Air Company. The importance of this study arises from the necessity and novelty of the subject in Libya. By consideration, the increases contribute to the private sector in this industry. Moreover, it will be a contribution that helps the company to make the decisions related to ticket fare in the future. Apply the empirical study when analyzing the data collected from accounting records and questioning the pricing process. The main conclusions are the estimated costs used to determine the ticket fare because the journey does not start yet. Therefore, the contribution profit also estimates. The company uses the percent of the fullness as a basis for distributing the costs and determining the cost average per seat for different types of passengers. The ticket fare depends on the compound costs. Otherwise, the company does not price each implemented trip separately. It determines the price for a specific line trip according to the average cost concerning the same line trip. The ticket fare will be the same for all the implemented line trips during a particular time, without paying any attention to the other factors that affected the ticket fare as the timing of the trip, the timing of the booking, and the weather conditions.


Measurements of the longitudinal elastic constants c11, c22 and c33 and the ultrasonic attenuation α of the quasi-two-dimensional triangular-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet Cs2CuCl4 reveal distinct anomalies near the B-induced quantum-critical point (QCP). These anomalies are particularly strongly pronounced in the ultrasonic attenuation. In isothermal field sweeps performed at low temperatures 0.027 K ≤ T ≤ 0.3 K around the saturation field Bs, the ultrasonic attenuation of all three modes shows a pronounced double-peak structure, indicating two anomalies of different origin. Upon cooling, however, both features merge suggesting a coincidence at the QCP. While one peak, which can be attributed to the ordering temperature TN(B), becomes critically enhanced upon approaching the QCP, the other one reduces in size and narrows upon cooling. The latter effect has been tentatively assigned to the material's spin-liquid features which precede the long-range antiferromagnetic ordering.

ABSTRACT The paucity of female deponents asked to give evidence before the Westminster equity courts has led some historians to conclude that women were marginal figures in disputes concerning local customary law and land use rights. This article adopts a qualitative approach, examining the oral testimonies provided by women to gain insight into the parameters of female knowledge and experience of landscape and the division of local resources. It is argued that women played a central role as informal brokers of economic power, mediated through the construction, maintenance and longevity of household knowledge and memory.


Selective activation of C-H bonds in hydrocarbon molecules is an enduring research goal in chemistry in general and heterogeneous catalysis in particular since transformations of hydrocarbon-containing resources into valuable chemicals usually involve C-H activation steps.1-2 The present project deals with C-H activation and oxygen insertion reactions in partial oxidation of alkanes containing 1-4 carbon atoms over transition metal oxide catalysts. The difficulty in one-step direct catalytic oxidation processes of alkanes catalysed by heterogeneous catalysts arises from the chemical reactivity of reaction intermediates and/or the desired unsaturated or oxygenated target product towards activated oxygen species concurrently present on the catalyst surface under reactions conditions. An efficient oxidation catalyst activates both hydrocarbon substrate and oxygen in an optimal way. The activation of the two reaction partners occurs on chemically very different surface sites and proceeds via numerous steps unfolding a complex reaction network of carbon-containing and oxygen intermediates.3 Carbon-containing intermediates are sometimes more reactive than the hydrocarbon substrate,4 and the character of the intermediately formed oxygen species varies from electrophilic to nucleophilic.5 Selectivity, i.e., formation of a single desired product and prevention of ultimately undesired total combustion to the thermodynamically most favourable product CO2, poses, therefore, the major challenge in this demanding discipline of heterogeneous catalysis. Missing resounding success in the discovery of selective catalysts indicates that utilization of alkanes will require new chemical and technological solutions that imply first of all an improved fundamental understanding of surface chemistry and dynamics of metal oxides in presence of the reactants and the elucidation of the reaction networks.


We present a comprehensive qualitative case study conducted at Urban Deli, a Swedish food retailer with a strong sustainability vision, through which we investigate the relevance of digital tools in supporting the retailer with necessary information to become more sustainable in their processes.


We have estimated the Chandler frequency from a variety of polar motion time series derived from optical and space geodetic data which span various time periods from 1846 through the early 1990s. Estimates of F vary, depending upon which time series is employed, but the variation is not significant when associated intervals of confidence are considered; thus there is no evidence that the true Chandler frequency has varied. Using a maximum likelihood method, our preferred estimate of F is 0.8433 cycles per tropical year (cpy), ±0.003 cpy, or equivalently a period of 433.1 mean solar days (msd), ±1.7 msd. Estimates are given on the condition that the Gaussian statistical model of the excitation process is valid, and new approaches which employ observations of the polar motion excitation process should eventually provide better estimates, which may differ from those determined here.


Phonetic convergence is partly automatic, yet mediated by linguistic and attitudinal factors; salient social identity can suppress convergence or lead to divergence (Babel 2010). We assessed convergence across vowels among 12 pairs of speakers using a novel task that minimizes the salience of identity. Each person separately read aloud a 45-item word list, once before the main task and again afterwards. Between readings, the pair played a version of the game Taboo, in which players take turns attempting to elicit specific words from their partner while avoiding forbidden words. Lobanov-normalized formant values were extracted from the word lists. A convergence measure was calculated for each word for each pair, by subtracting the Euclidean distance between the speakers' vowels in that word in post-game lists from that of the pre-game lists. Mixed-effects models of convergence were fit, with random effects for word and pair and fixed effects for vowel and pre-game distance. Greater initial distance was associated with greater convergence. /i/ and /a/ converged most consistently, while diphthongs typically diverged. This suggests that listeners focus on point vowels to model an interlocutor's vowel space, facilitating convergence in these vowels, and that even when identity is not salient, divergence may occur.

Mixed-effects models of convergence were fit, with random effects for word and pair and fixed effects for vowel and pre-game distance. Greater initial distance was ass...


During the course of our research on chemically induced mutational spectra in mouse skin and liver tumors, we found the need to develop a sensitive method that would screen out nonmutated genes, related genes and pseudogenes. Although cold single-strand conformation polymorphism methods that used intron-specific primers existed, these methods were only sensitive to the point of 1 mutant in 33 normal molecules (7,8). We were able to substantially modify an enriched polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening method, originally used to screen for K-ras codons 12 and 13 in human colon tumors (5,6), to be used for H-ras codons 12 and 13 as well as codon 61 mutations in chemically induced mouse skin and liver tumors. Briefly, this method consisted of four steps: (i) primary amplification, (ii) intermediate digestion, (iii) secondary amplification and (iv) final digestion. Aliquots of the final digests were resolved on agarose gels rather than polyacrylamide gels as in the original procedure (5,6). Mutant PCR products are cut once, whereas normal PCR products are cut twice by the codon-specific restriction endonuclease. This allows for an internal control upon digestion with the enzymes. The procedure is outlined briefly in Table 1. Although this method was used to detect specific mouse H-ras mutations, it could easily be adapted to detect point mutations within other genes and species such as the suspected aflatoxin-induced codon 249 mutation in the p53 gene in human liver or the suspected benzo[a]pyrene-induced codon 157 mutation in p53 in human lung tissue using the wide array of commercially available restriction endonucleases. DNA was isolated from both normal and tumor-laden mouse skin and liver using Puregene reagents (Gentra Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and proteinase K and quantitated by UV spectroscopy at 260 nm. All PCR primers were based on the mouse H-ras genomic sequence of Brown et al. (2). All PCRs were carried out in a PTC-100 Programmable Thermal Controller (MJ Research, Watertown, MA, USA). Positive controls were prepared by amplifying 200 ng of normal DNA using mutated 5′ primers and normal 3′ primers (Table 2; codons 12 and 13: primers 1 and 2; codon 61: primers 3 and 4) under the following conditions: 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0 at 25°C), 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.2 mM each dNTP, 2.0 mM MgCl2, 1 U Taq DNA Polymerase (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and 0.2 mM each primer in a 50μL final volume, covered with 25 μL of Chill-out 14 (MJ Research) and subjected to the following amplification protocol: initial denaturation at 94°C for 5 min and 35 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 1 min, annealing at 62°C for 2 min and extension at 72°C for 1 min, with a final extension at 72°C for 2 min. PCR products (combined codons 12 and 13: 252 bp and codon 6: 226 bp) were purified on 2% MetaPhor agarose gels (FMC BioProducts, Rockland, ME, USA), extracted from the agarose using QIAEX (Qiagen, Chatsworth, CA, USA), quantitated on 2% MetaPhor agarose gels using a Low DNA Mass Ladder (Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) and diluted to 15 pg/μL for further use. These positive controls contained a codon 12 mutation of GGA→GAA, a codon 13 mutation of GGC→GAC and a codon 61 mutation of CAA→CGA. Tumor DNA was screened for codon 12, 13 and 61 mutations using the following protocol. Positive control (7.5


The conventional cylindrical tube model of porous media is shown to be inapplicable to flows of nonlinear fluids. A more precise geometric description of the converging-diverging pore geometry appears to enable accurate pressure drop-flow rate descriptions but requires further development. (32 refs.)


To the Editor We were grateful for the comments of Dr. Hawrot―Kawecka and colleagues in reference to our recent case report, "Liver sarcoidosis that presented with dysphagia" (1). Similar to their case and our case, various sarcoidosis cases presenting atypical first symptoms have been reported. It was thought to be more difficult to diagnose the case of Hawrot-Kawecka et al as sarcoidosis compared to our case, because their case presented only etiology unknown interstitial nephritis at first, and other abnormalities that supported the diagnosis of sarcoidosis were recognized later. For the correct diagnosis, it is important to carefully observe the progression of the disease and reconsider the diagnosis repeatedly as they did. Meanwhile, the present case had already shown some abnormalities that supported the diagnosis of sarcoidosis from the first stage. Therefore, it was desirable to confirm the diagnosis before the treatment. Because pathological examination plays the most important role in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, we performed liver biopsy that shows a high probability of revealing granulomatous change. However, invasive examination such as a biopsy should be performed in symptomatic organs if possible. Recently, F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/ CT) has been reported to be effective for not only evaluation of the disease activity, but also the diagnosis of sarcoidosis (2). F-FDG PET/CT reveals inflammatory active localizations more minutely compared with Ga scintigraphy (2). When ordinary biopsy of such tissues as lymph nodes and lung shows no evidence though sarcodosis is suspected, liver biopsy is thought to be an effective diagnostic tool, and FFDG PET/CT is also indicated to provide some information on the active lesions that should be biopsied.


The bank-full channel characteristics for gravel bed and sand bed alluvial rivers are investigated theoretically and empirically. Two sets of equations for describing the bank-full channel width and average depth for gravel bed and sand bed alluvial rivers are obtained. One satisfies rational regime relations, the other satisfies a dynamic equilibrium condition for stable channels. Using these sets of equations, a dynamic equilibrium condition for stable channels is identified. Then existing data of natural rivers in Japan is used to verify these sets of equations as well as the dynamic equilibrium condition for stable channels. The condition is found to well match with the data of natural rivers with sediment size ranging from sand to gravel.


BackgroundUnrecorded alcohol consumption in Russia is a significant public health problem and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from various causes of death. The substantial share of the Russian population are active online social media users and can be reached by screening and brief interventions, aimed at preventing alcohol-related problems, through social media. The purpose of this analysis was to assess changes in unrecorded alcohol consumption and factors associated with the increase in unrecorded alcohol use among online social media users during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia.MethodsBetween June and September 2020, 1518 users of popular in Russia online social networking services participated in online survey investigating changes in alcohol, tobacco, and substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions assessing unrecorded alcohol use were adopted from the WHO STEPS-survey instrument and investigated changes in consumption of homemade, falsified, counterfeited, surrogate alcohol, and alcohol brought from abroad during the first months of COVID-19 pandemic. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with increase in consumption of unrecorded alcohol. The analysis was adjusted for age, sex, change in income, restrictions in everyday personal life due to spread of COVID-19, typical (pre-pandemic) one-time volume of alcohol use and typical (pre-pandemic) frequency of heavy episodic drinking (6 or more portions of alcohol per occasion).Results42.2% of the surveyed population consumed unrecorded alcohol in the past year. During the first months of COVID-19 pandemic, 22.5%, 25.9% and 51.6% of all users of unrecorded alcohol increased, decreased and didn't change their consumption of unrecorded alcohol, respectively. Relative to those who reduced or didn't change their use of unrecorded alcohol, those who increased consumption of unrecorded alcohol were more likely to: have been residents of rural settlements/small cities (OR = 2.492, 95% CI = 1.246 – 4.985), medium size cities (2.310, 1.314 – 4.062);typically (before pandemic) consumed alcohol more frequently (2–4 times a month: 2.449, 1.131 – 5.302;2–3 times a week: 2.930, 1.190 – 7.217;and more often: 2.920, 1.128 – 7.555);experienced negative work/financial consequences due to pandemic (2.228, 1.270 – 3.909);and increased frequency of heavy episodic drinking during first months of the COVID-19 pandemic (7.249, 4.194 – 12.530).ConclusionOnline social media users at risk to increase their consumption of unrecorded alcohol during the COVID-19 pandemic can be considered for various alcohol control policy options, including targeted screening and brief interventions, which can be delivered via online social media.

—In many traditional machine learning algorithms, a major assumption is that the training samples and the test samples have the same distribution. However, this assumption does not hold in many real applications. In recent years, transfer learning has attracted a significant amount of attention to solve this problem. In this paper, a novel transfer learning method based on clustering analysis and re-sampling is proposed, which can correct different types of domain differences and does not need to estimate the different distribution directly. The method explores the data structure by clustering analysis, and then uses the obtained structure information to generate a new training set for target learning under a re-sampling strategy. To explore more data structure information and be more robust to data sets with various shapes and densities, the method introduces the fuzzy neighborhood membership degree to improve the performance of clustering analysis. It also applies the Gaussian kernel function to measure the similarities between samples to improve the reliability of the new training samples. The proposed method can transfer more useful knowledge from the source domain to the target domain. Experimental results on toy datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively and stably enhance the learning performance. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the communication specific emitter identification task and the result is also satisfying.


This paper is concerned with the approximate controllability for the impulsive differential equa- tion with nonlocal conditions in Hilbert spaces. Based on the semigroup theory and fixed point approach, a sufficient condition for the approximate controllability of the impulsive differential equation with nonlocal conditions is established.


Microfluidics refers to a set of technologies that control the flow of minute amounts of liquids, typically from a few picolitres (pls) to a few microlitres (μls) in a miniaturized system [1,2]. Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems typically consist of a set of microfluidics and sensors with dimensions from a few square millimetres (mm2) to a few square centimetres (cm2). Microfluidics handles liquids through droplet generation, transportation and mixing of liquid samples, chemical reactions etc. Sensors may include biochemical sensors, gas sensors and physical sensors such as humidity and temperature sensors, flow meter and viscometers etc. Therefore, LOCs are microsystems with a much broader meaning, and generally perform single or multiple laboratory processes and functions on a chip-scale.


Rising costs for maintaining the road system, coupled with the lack of revenue from truck road user charges, prompt questions about the future financial means needed to expand existing, and to build new, roads. This report combines the results of several studies based on estimates of road system maintenance costs. In the long run, the expansion of the current, and the construction of a new, trunk road system can no longer be financed without a negative impact on road maintenance or the expansion of the rail network. Although the federal government intends to decouple road transport from economic performance and shift traffic to the railways, this can only be achieved if environment-friendly alternatives to road transport are made available and priority is given to maintaining existing routes rather than expanding the road system. In future, road infrastructure costs will have to be met much more by road users rather than by the state budget.


Abstract Poultry Husbandry has been taught in our leading agricultural colleges for many years, but we are just beginning to give time and thought to the proper methods to be used in presenting such a subject to the student, and in getting him to learn and retain what the instructors want him to know. For years we have poured out, to the aspiring youth, all our enthusiasms, knowledge and beliefs, hoping that he would soak up what flowed from us and become a good and successful poultryman. We have hoped that he was interested and thought that because we believed in certain things, he must also believe. We wanted him to be a good soldier in the ranks of the poultrymen and were disappointed if he was not a striking success or if he failed to follow Poultry Husbandry. It was with this method of teaching (lecturing) that we built up . . .


This article presents an analytical study and effect of temperature (T = 100, 200, 300, 400 K) on various parameters of gate‐stack dual metal nanowire field‐effect transistor (gate‐stack DM NW) FET (4H‐SiC) and gate‐stack dual metal nanowire field‐effect transistor (gate‐stack DM NW FET) (Si). The parabolic approximation is used to solve the 2D Poisson's equation for surface potential, electric field, drain current (Ids), transconductance (gm), output conductance (gd), and analog performance is evaluated. Electron concentration, electron velocity, drain induced barrier lowering, DIBL, and noise figure (NF) have also been investigated for a fair comparison and shows that 4H‐SiC based gate‐stack DM NW FET device is more insensitive to temperature changes than the silicon‐based gate‐stack DM NW FET. Furthermore, gate‐stack DM NW FET (4H‐SiC) has better electrical performance with temperature variation than gate‐stack DM NW FET (Si). The simulations have been carried out using the ATLAS 3D device simulator. Analytical results are in close agreement with the simulated results.


Have you ever found it difficult to explain to a physician or to a pregnant woman why some women give birth with ease, whereas others seem to require extraordinary measures in order to give birth? For over half a century, authors of obstetrical textbooks have explained this difference by invoking the so-called 'Law of the 3 Ps', the Ps being the passage (the woman), the passenger (the baby) and the powers (the quality and frequency of uterine contractions). This mechanical explanation has not changed at all over the last 75 years, although the rate of medical interventions in childbirh has increased drastically in most industrialized countries during that same period.


Background & Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the leading cause of death from cancer among women. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of some of the microRNAs associated with cell death to resistance training in women with breast cancer. Materials & Methods: Twenty women with breast cancer were selected randomly. They were randomly divided into control (10) and experimental (10 subjects) groups. Experimental group performed 3 sessions of resistance training for 8 weeks and weekly with the intensity of 70-50% had at most one maximum repetition. In order to investigate the effect of resistance training on mir-329, mir-15, mir-16, blood samples of the subjects were taken 48 hours before and after protocol implementation. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 19) and independent and dependent t tests were performed. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Eight resistance exercises have increased the number of cell deaths associated with cell death in women with breast cancer, resulting in increased cell death and, consequently, reduced cancer mass in women with breast cancer. Conclusion: Eight resistance exercises lead to an increase in certain cell deaths associated with cell death in women with breast cancer, resulting in increased cell death and, consequently, a reduction in cancer mass in women with breast cancer.

The elastic moduli and anisotropy of organic‐rich rocks are of great importance to geoengineering and geoprospecting of oil and gas reservoirs. In this paper, we probe into the static and dynamic moduli of the Ghareb–Mishash chalk through laboratory measurements and new analytical approaches. We define a new anisotropy parameter, 'hydrostatic strain ratio' (Ω), which describes the differential contraction of anisotropic rocks consequent to hydrostatic compression. Ω depends on the C11, C12, C13 and C33 stiffness constants of a transversely isotropic material, and therefore enables a unique insight into the anisotropic behaviour of TI rocks. Ω proves more sensitive to anisotropy within the weak anisotropy range, when compared with Thomsen's ε and γ parameters. We use Ω to derive static moduli from triaxial compression tests performed on a single specimen. This is done by novel employment of a hydrostatic‐deviatoric combination for transversely isotropic elastic stiffnesses. Dynamic moduli are obtained from acoustic velocities measurements. We find that the bedding‐normal velocities are described well by defining kerogen as the load‐supporting matrix in a Hashin–Shtrikman model ('Hashin–Shtrikman (HS) kerogen'). The dynamic moduli of the Ghareb–Mishash chalk in dry conditions are significantly higher than the static moduli. The dynamic/static moduli ratio decreases from ∼4 to ∼2 with increasing kerogen content. Both the static and dynamic moduli decrease significantly with increasing porosity and kerogen content. The effect of porosity on them is two times stronger than the effect of kerogen.
