Lens distortions have a significant impact on captured or projected image geometry. This paper proposes a lens distortion correction with gradient components for wide-angle lenses. In most cases, distortion coefficients are estimated using a distortion model by point correspondences. Corrected images using only point correspondences can be compensated excessively, therefore, producing bended lines into the opposite direction near the corners. To curtail these phenomena, we propose to adopt the gradient components in addition to positions to obtain the distortion coefficients. We verified the improved accuracy and the straightness of the proposed method through experimentation.


It is important to safety culture in railway industry because they variously refer to the safety-related values, attitudes, beliefs, risk perceptions and behaviours of railway employees. So this study tried to figure out the assessment criteria for safety culture at Korean National Railway. For the achieve the goal, we have the literature review, some assesment criteria have been founded by intensively comparing safety culture questionnaires in other industries to establish domestic railway safety. This study expects Korean railways to become a well-organized that as assessing safety culture with reasonable criteria or requirements.

The effect of tamoxifen (TX; 1.0 μM) on the mitogenic response of rat lymphocytes was compared with the effect of drugs that are known to act on protein kinase C (PKC), calmodulin (CM), and calcium (Ca2+). The calcium ionophore A23187 (0.2 μM) was mitogenic on its own which was not influenced by TX. The agents modulating PKC or CM (phorbol-myristate-13-acetate; R24571, chlorpromazine) influenced mitogenesis differently than did TX. General inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation was seen with the Ca2+ antagonist agents (EGTA, TMB-8) as with TX. The antiproliferative effect of TX was partially reversed by the increase of Ca2+ in the culture medium when T cell mitogens were used, but not in the case of lipid A, a B lymphocyte mitogen. However, the concanavalin A-induced Ca2+ influx was further elevated by TX which differed from the effect of the Ca2+ channel-blocking agent verapamil. The results suggest that TX resets the threshold stimulus necessary for mitogenesis and is completely reversible.


To the Editor. —Dr Volle, 1 in his editorial in the Jan 8,1988, issue, correctly states that ophthalmology programs use scores from Part I of the National Board of Medical Examiners tests as part of the resident selection process. However, he is incorrect as to the motive. It is not because National Board scores are assumed (falsely) to correlate with "the quality of later professional life." Perhaps he would not have erred if Dr McCollister, 2 in his article in the same issue, would have used a questionnaire asking programs why as well as if they used National Board scores. The reason I, and others in my department, use Part I National Board scores in the residency selection process is that I believe they correlate with the scores on the Ophthalmic Knowledge Assessment Program (OKAP) examinations given yearly to residents by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Before we began using


ABSTRACT This article examines the effect of the presence of UN peacekeeping forces on the scale of domestic terrorist violence in civil war-torn countries. By employing matching and regression analysis, I explore two samples: one contains information about countries during the active phase of fighting (in-war); and the other relates to after the fighting has finished. I find that the presence of UN peacekeepers during the active phase of fighting has no significant effect on the number of terrorist attacks, but it decreases the number of terrorist attacks after the war is over.


Plant genomes are variable in the accumulation and distribution of repetitive DNA families. Species of Cestrum show large diversity of repetitive DNA families, and B chromosomes have been described in seven species. Different DNA families have been identified in Cestrum, such as AT-rich SSR, 45S and 5S rDNA, C-Giemsa and C-CMA/DAPI bands and retrotransposons. To understand the relationships between B and A chromosomes of Cestrum, the B of C. strigilatum was microdissected, amplified, and fragments were used to produce a small library. Sequences showed the occurrence of stretches of SSR, minisats and LTR-RTs. The probe of B was hybridized in situ against chromosomes of eight Cestrum species. FISH signals were observed in the Bs of C. strigilatum and C. intermedium, besides stretches of A chromosomes of all species tested. Species showed hybridization signals in different positions, such as: i) signals adjacent to C-DAPI bands, ii) lightly dispersed signals throughout the chromosomes, and iii) an intense hybridization signals associated with 5S rDNA sites, in the proximal region of long arm of pair 8. Due to the strong FISH signal associated with 5S rDNA region of A chromosomes of all species, we search for 5S rDNA stretches in the microdissected B chromosome using PCR and Sanger sequencing. Data showed a possible degradation of 5S rDNA in the evolutionary pathways of the Bs. Although A and B chromosomes displayed redundancy in the repetitive DNA families in different species, the Bs of both C. strigilatum and C. intermedium seemed to differ from those of other species by the loss of rDNA fractions. These data indicate a common origin of Bs in Cestrum.


The objective of this study was to identify and compare different dairy cattle management systems in vegetable based farming system in Welimada division in Badulla district (up country wet and intermediate zones) with respect to their production and economic characteristics. Data were collected from 92 randomly selected vegetable based dairy farmers using a structured questionnaire and milk payment registers of milk collectors. Means of various production and economic parameters of management systems were compared. Intensive and semi-intensive management systems were present in Welimada area. Twenty six % of dairy farmers had primary education and 64.6% had studied up to GCE (O/L) while the rest had completed GCE (A/L). Educational background had no significant effect on the income of farmers from dairying. Mean herd sizes of intensive and semi-intensive management systems were 4.1 and 3.2 animal units (AU), respectively. Compared to semi-intensive system, intensive system was significantly lower (P 0.05) in milk yield per herd, income and labour and other costs (concentrates, drugs and services) per herd leading to non significant (P>0.05) profit differences. Net returns per herd (excluding labour cost) were Rs. 281 and 177 per day for intensive and semi-intensive systems, respectively. When labour cost was not included in profit calculation, the mean net income per day per AU received by the farmers under intensive system was higher (P>0.05) compared to semi-intensive system. Introduction of good manure management practices and establishment of good quality pasture and fodder in the contour lines of the farm as well as a fence line would help to reduce the labour cost for cutting grass and expenses for concentrate feeding while increasing the profit. Upgrading of animals can also lead to higher production in the herd under a semi-intensive system. Key words: Dairy cattle production; management systems; up country wet and intermediate zones.

Nowadays,there are some defects and shortages of the ideological and political education in colleges of China.For example,the student management work is lack of college students' participation.The contents of ideological and political education are lack of pertinence and are light politicized.The education mode also shows a lack of subjectivity of college students.And the education concept needs more humanistic care,and the tool rationality into dominant thinking also exist.Because the main object of college's ideological and political education is college students,the problems result in college students' political apathy.So,we must guide college students' political participation,enrich the contents of ideological and the political education,and pay attention to political education.We also should insist on the people-oriented,respect and cultivating the subjectivity of college students.At the same time,we should pay attention to students' humanistic care,promote the blending of the instrumental rationality and value rationality.Only with these countermeasures,we could achieve the ideal goal and the final purpose of the ideological and political education,and promote the college students to grow up healthily.


The interaction of electrons in the energy range from near zero to 10 eV with CF3Cl physisorbed on a Kr surface is studied and compared with previous gas-phase experiments on isolated molecules and CF3Cl clusters. In the gas phase CF3Cl shows resonances in the dissociative attachment (DA) cross section at 1.4 eV, near 4−5 eV, and at 9 eV with the 1.4 eV feature assigned as a single particle resonance with a strong C−Cl repulsive nature. From adsorbed CF3Cl, we observe desorption of Cl- and F- with resonances in the cross section which can be correlated to the gas-phase DA features. Despite its antibonding nature, Cl- desorption via the single particle resonance is very weak, indicating that direct desorption processes do not occur; i.e., orientations of the molecule with the C−Cl axis pointing away from the surface can be excluded, and desorption is always preceded by postdissociation interactions. Charge trapping is virtually restricted to the low-energy resonance. Its maximum is at 0.8 eV and reflects t...

This paper develops a hierarchical deep learning machine (HDLM) to efficiently achieve both quantitative and qualitative online transient stability prediction (TSP). For the sake of improving its online efficiency, multiple generators' fault-on trajectories as well as the two closest data-points in pre-/post-fault stages are acquired by PMUs to form its raw inputs. An anti-noise graphical transient characterization technique is tactfully designed to transform multiplex trajectories into 2-D images, within which system-wide transients are concisely described. Then, following the divide-and-conquer philosophy, the HDLM trains a two-level convolutional neural network (CNN) based regression model. With stability margin regressions hierarchically refined, it manages to perform reliable and adaptive online TSP almost immediately after fault clearance. Test results on the IEEE 39-bus test system and the real-world Guangdong Power Grid in South China demonstrate the HDLM's superior performances on both stability status and stability margin predictions.


The construction and operational characteristics of a newly built photoelectron spectrometer are described. The photoelectron spectra of some bicyclic and exocyclic olefins and related saturated hydrocarbons have been recorded and their ionization potentials reported. The lowest ionization potentials are examined and discussed in terms of substitutional and ring strain effects. Ionization potential changes accompanying substitution in these molecules are explained by using empirically generalized substitution rules for saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. There appear to be no significant ring strain effects upon the lowest ionization potentials of four‐, five‐, or six‐membered ring exocyclic olefins or for the bicyclic molecules norbornane, norbornene, and norbornadiene. From a comparison of the ionization potential changes between 1, 3‐ and 1,4‐dienes, it is estimated that the two double bonds in norbornadiene are directionally coupled across the ring by an interaction energy of about 0.3 eV. From an...


What in fact is an author?s style? It is the point of view from which an
author sees the given subject. Which style he uses when recording the
action, to which extent he enters into it and tries to influence it, what shooting angles and image interpretation he uses, in what way he works with sound. We can agree upon the fact that only few directors have such a distinct and characterful author?s style as Pavel Koutecký does. He was a director always searching for new possibilities and forms of artistic expression. In my diploma paper I survey his fundamental films and give a general overview of his work.


A current control device is disclosed. The current control device includes control circuitry and a current path integrally arranged with the control circuitry. The current path includes a set of conduction interfaces and a micro electromechanical system (MEMS) switch disposed between the set of conduction interfaces. The set of conduction interfaces have geometry of a defined fuse terminal geometry and include a first interface disposed at one end of the current path and a second interface disposed at an opposite end of the current path. The MEMS switch is responsive to the control circuitry to facilitate the interruption of an electrical current passing through the current path.


Twenty long hardwood veneer logs (four each of hickory, red oak, walnut, cherry and yellow-polar), were acquired in the eastern US. Each log was cut in half; one served as treated sample and another one as the control sample. Log small end diameter varied from 15 to 32 inches and their lengths varied from about 8.5 to 10.7 feet. Four different treating schedules were used. The treating duration and energy consumption were measured. Chamber temperature during treatment was 90°C. Vacuum level varied from 25 mmHg to 570 mmHg. During treating, the geometric centers of logs were heated to 60°C and held for 60 minutes. Veneers from treated logs were produced in a veneer manufacturing facility. The effects of vacuum/steam treatment on the log quality and the veneer yield and quality after treatment were analyzed. The results have shown that the hardwood logs of five important wood species have been successfully treated with vacuum/steam technology to 60°C for 60 minutes at the log center. The treating time for logs varied from 15 to 40 hours depending on the species, size and treating schedule. The energy consumed during the treatment was measured and calculated to vary from 1.32 to 2.17 kwh/kg of log depending on the treating schedule. The vacuum/steam treatment did increase the size of end checks and cracks in the hickory, red oak and cherry logs by the extension of the existing cracks or checks. However, this can be reduced by using "S" irons and end coatings. The treatment did not significantly reduce flitch or veneer yield or quality when compared to the control, non-treated, logs. Denser woods, such as hickory required slightly longer treatment than yellow-poplar. The results also indicate that with the range of 15 to 30 inches diameter logs, treatment times will increase by about one hour for each one inch increase in mid log diameter. Cycling extreme vacuum reduced treatment time by about 25% due to heat of hydration. However energy consumption increased by about 40%. The most efficient treatment schedule tested, was the saturated steam environment of 90°C temperature and a constant 570 mmHg vacuum. This indicates modest vacuum levels may be used for log treatment. 6. Phytosanitary treatment of the Mediterranean snails, (Cernuella cisalpina and Eobania vermiculata), hitchhiking with the imported tiles in packaging, using steam and vacuum – November 2015 Chen, White, and Mack Abstract Alien species are being moved around the world at the unprecedented rates as a result of the increase in the international trade. Snails may be also transported from one country to another country in and on internationally traded commodities. Snails consume vegetation, but more importantly carry and spread diseases. Snails indigenous to Italy have arrived to the US on unit loads of tiles. In this study, two species of Mediterranean snails, (Cernuella cisalpina with weight of 0.096 g and Eobania vermiculata with the weight of 2.06g) were field collected in Maryland, transported to and quarantined at Virginia Tech. Unit loads of tile were inoculated with these snails and then subsequently treated with the saturated steam at the initial levels of 100, 250 and 500 mmHg. The results revealed that vacuum and steam technology can be used to kill both snails, Eobania vermiculata and Cernuella cisalpine at the temperature of 56°C with the holding time of 30 minutes in less than 61 minutes with average treating time of 51.1 minutes at the initial vacuum levels of 100 mmHg and 250 mmHg. However, it took longer than 4 hours to treat the products at 500 mmHg. There are no measureable color and shape change to either tile. The average breaking strength for ceramic tiles for both treated and control samples are 408.35 and 430.75 lbs respectively. And average breaking strengths for marble tiles for both treated and control samples are 609 and 689.5 lbs respectively. The average bending strengths of treated tiles were 5% and 12% less than that of untreated tiles respectively. For ceramic tile, it adsorbed about 0.78% moisture of total weight during treatment. There was no change in the MC of marble tiles. The corrugated paper boxes pick up about 4% moisture during treatment. For the corrugated paperboard boxes, the average Burst strengths of control and treated samples are measured to be 203.2 and 267.1 lb/in2. The treated paper board boxes has slightly higher in the burst strength than control paperboard boxes. ECT for control and treated corrugated boxes 37.3 and 37.9 lbs respectively. The average compression strength of control and treated box samples are 407 and 375 lbs respectively. There are no significant differences between them in both box compression and ECT strengths before and after treatment. Corrugated packaging must be protected from liquid condensate during treatment.Alien species are being moved around the world at the unprecedented rates as a result of the increase in the international trade.

Efficacy of Vacuum Steam Treatment to Kill Thousand Canker and Oak Wilt Disease in Infected Oak and Walnut Logs* February 2017 Chen, White, and Mack 2 Abstract Oak wilt has been found in 24 states in the eastern United States and is one of the most destructive tree diseases nationally. In the same way, thousand cankers disease (TCD) is impacting walnut trees. The overall goal in this study is to determine the efficacy of steam and vacuum to kill the thousand canker fungus (Geosmithia morbida) and associated vectors in live infested black walnut (Juglans nigra) logs and to kill the oak wilt fungus (Ceratocystis fagacearum) and associated vectors in live infested oak (Quercus spp.) logs. The infested oak trees were felled and 30 logs were removed. The logs were then heat treated with vacuum and steam technology in Shakopee, Minnesota. More than 20 walnut logs were cut from live infested trees in eastern Pennsylvania and heat treated near Lancaster. The results confirm that vacuum and steam heat treatment to 56oC for 30 minutes and 60oC for 60 minutes to targeted depths to kill both the Ceratocystis fagacearum and the Geosmithia morbida. The average treating time was 378 minutes for green oak at 56oC/30 minutes and 519 minutes to 60oC/60 minutes for log diameters ranging from 22.9 to 49.5 cm to a targeted depth of 50 mm. The average treating time was 256 minutes for green walnut at 56oC/30 minutes and 308 minutes to 60oC/60 minutes for logs with diameters ranging from 22.5 to 37 cm to a targeted depth of 32 mm. Because of the growth habits of the respective fungus, the treating cycle depended on heating the sapwood of the oaks and the cambium of the walnut logs. It is concluded that the 56oC/30 minutes to specified depths, is effective to treat the infested logs. The average energy consumption was from 0.05 kwh/kg for oak logs at an initial temperature of 19oC and 0.078 kwh/kg for walnut logs at an average initial temperature of 15oC. The moisture content of green oak logs did not change. The average moisture gain for the walnut logs was around 4%MC. No significant log damage was observed. 8. Efficacy of Vacuum/Steam Treatment for Control of Emerald Ash Borer in Naturally Infested Wood – December 2008 Chen, White, and Poland


This paper proposes an innovative technique to calibrate microwave imaging (MWI) systems combining available measured data with simulated synthetic ones. The introduced technique aims to compensate the variations of the antenna array due to unavoidable manufacturing tolerances and placement, in comparison to the nominal electromagnetic (EM) scenario. The scheme is tested virtually and experimentally for the MWI of the adult human head tissues. The virtual EM analysis uses a realistic 3-D CAD model working together with a full-wave software, based on the finite element method. Meanwhile, the real implementation employs a single-cavity anthropomorphic head phantom and a custom brick-shaped antenna array working at around 1 GHz.


A general approach to the use of neural networks for data fusion is outlined. The discussion begins with examples of data fusion problems and a pattern recognition example is given to illustrate the concepts involved in data fusion. The differences between using post- and pre-detection signals and the advantages of using the latter are discussed. How to apply a neural network to the data fusion problem is demonstrated, and experimental results for a character recognition task are given. The general approach applies to a variety of practical situations, including robot navigation and military environment assessment/evaluation.<<ETX>>


The role of short strong hydrogen bonds (SSHB) in ligand-target binding remains largely unexplored, thereby hindering a potentially important avenue in the rational drug design. Here, we investigate the interaction between bedaquiline (Bq), a potent anti-tuberculosis drug, and the mycobacterial ATP synthase, to unravel the role of a specific hydrogen bond to a conserved acidic residue in the target affinity and specificity. Our ab initio molecular dynamics simulations reveal that this bond belongs to the SSHB category and accounts for a substantial fraction of the target binding energy. We also demonstrate that the presence of an extra acidic residue (D32), found exclusively in mycobacteria, cooperatively enhances the HB strength ensuring the specificity for the mycobacterial target. Consistently, we show that the removal of D32 markedly weakens the affinity, leading to Bq resistance associated with mutations of D32 to non-acidic residues. By designing simple Bq analogs, we then explore the possibility to overcome the resistance and potentially broaden the Bq antimicrobial spectrum by making the SSHB independent on the presence of the extra acidic residue.


The objective of the research is to characterize the spectral pattern of Canola throughout the cycle by having different levels of nitrogen fertilization. To do so, some experiments are taken from the harvests of 2013 and 2014. These ones belong to an experimental area at EMBRAPA wheat (Brazilian company that researches agriculture) in Coxilha (a city in South of Brazil). Randomized block design is used with four replications and treatments with five doses of nitrogen fertilization: 10, 20, 40, 80 160 kg ha -1 of N. The spectral behavior is characterized by measurement with spectroradiometer (passive remote sensing) and the Greenseeker sensor (active remote sensing). From the measurements of spectroradiometer, the simple ratio (SR), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) and green normalized difference vegetation index (GNDVI) were calculated. As another way of measurement, shoot dry matter data, leaf area index (LAI), phenology and yield of canola grain were obtained. As results, canola shows reflectance curves with the typical pattern of annual crops: low spectral reflectance and high spectral reflectance in infrared with variations in amplitude over the cycle associated with structural changes of the canopy. The temporal types of vegetation indices have two maximum peaks, one before and one after blossoming, which can be used to distinguish canola than the other annual crops. The nitrogen fertilization coverage causes variations in IAF and grain yield, wherein the highest yield is at a dose of 100 kg ha -1 of N. But the accumulation of shoot dry matter, that occurred in experimental conditions, did not vary according to nitrogen fertilization rates applied in coverage. Different levels of nitrogen cause differences in reflectance of the canopy and these ones are associated with its variations, which are perceived mainly in rates of SR vegetation, GNDVI and NDVI obtained with Greenseeker sensor. Between the bands of the electromagnetic spectrum studied, those that the best correlated with the amount of shoot dry matter of canola are the bands of red and nearinfrared, during the growing season of the production cycle. Indexes with the best responses are SR, EVI, and SAVI also in the growing season. Considering the yield studies, the indices with the best responses are SAVI and GNDVI that use the method of sum of the index throughout the production cycle. 2 Master of Science dissertation in Agronomy, Faculdade de Agronomia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil.

This article explores the significance of cultural safety in view of the struggle over ancestral domain and modernity for Kelabit youth and elders in the state of Sarawak in Borneo, Malaysia. Our participatory case study points to the challenges to cultural safety caused by the external pressures of modernization and competing knowledge systems from downriver that are breaking down the leadership and decision-making processes to protect the land. We found that intergenerational community mapping and language revitalization provide a means for supporting cultural safety. Our applied research suggests that cultural safety benefits from being defined locally. Empowering youth and elders to harness, renew, and defend the potential of Kelabit identity and unity is part of recognizing that cultural safety needs to be constantly affirmed by its proponents. It is a process that demands to be actively grappled with and defined by community members at the individual and collective levels.


New trellis constructions for compression of short data sequences are presented. Traditional low rate trellis source coding suffer from having a too small reproduction alphabet. Governed by alphabet-constrained rate-distortion theory a simple method was proposed for a source coding rate of 1 bit per sample that allows 2/sup m/ reconstruction values for a trellis with 2/sup m/ states. The proposed method is based on the maximum a posteriori probability criterion distortion measure and it employs tailbiting. Tailbiting makes the method suitable also for short data sequences. Simulation results are compared to TCQ-like methods.


The binding of [3Hjphenobarbital to rat brain membranes was studied in order to determine its characteristics and specificity. The binding reaction was rapid and occurred at sites of low affinity. (Kd = 700 f'M) and very high density (Bmax = 2.7 nmollmg protein). It was unaffected by temperature changes from O°C to 95°C and was maximal at pH 5. Detergents in low concentrations markedly decreased the binding, apparently without solubilizing the binding sites. It is concluded that the binding of [3Hjphenobarbital is a rather non-specific interaction with the plasma membrane.


The results of an investigation, the purpose of which was to study the feasibility of analysis of La, Ce, Pr, and Nd in apatite minerals, utilizing x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), are discussed. After sample dissolution in HNO/sub 3/, rare-earth elements (REEs) are separated by a mixed solvent anion exchange using the batch extraction technique. The anion exchanger employed is the strongly basic resin Dowex 1X8, 100 to 200 mesh (nitrate form). REEs are fixed on the resin from a medium consisting of 95% CH/sub 3/OH-5% 7 M HNO/sub 3/ (v/v). The dried resin is uniformly spread over a disk of self-adhesive foil backed with a cellulose support. The thin resin film formed is then used for XRF analysis. Synthetic standards prepared following the same procedure are employed for calibration. Analytical results of two apatite samples are presented. Good correlation is obtained between XRF and neutron activation analysis data. Limits of detection, precision, and accuracy of the results are discussed.

The application of intelligent materials with self-repairable and self-diagnosis functions will provide more efficient and effective earthquake protective system to bridge structures. Shape memory alloys are possible candidates of intelligent materials that are applicable to bridge structures. The damping device made of shape memory alloys was proposed in this paper. The damping device that was simple Nitinol plate can absorb seismic energy and reduce the seismic force by its pseudo yield effect. This study focuses on the damping enhancement effect of the device to bridge structures. A series of shaking table test was carried out in order to verify the damping enhancement effect under earthquake type excitations. As a result of this study, it is found that the Nitinol plate damping enhancement device can reduce the seismic response of the bridge structures and can perform its function more efficient and effective when in shape memory phase.


We consider Green's function for layered system. We express it in terms of the well-known scalar s and p ones. For a single NIM layer in vacuum and with a single dispersive Lorentz form for equal electric and magnetic permeabilities ε(ω) and μ(ω), we obtain an explicit form for Green's function. Also we find Green's function for multilayered system and obtain recurrence relations for its coefficients.


Although self-defense belongs to the classical criminal justice institutes, over the last few decades its boundaries have been re-examined in the legislation and comparative case law. While European law traditionally consider that the attacked person is not obligated to retreat from the attacker, in Anglo-American law this rule was only effective when it came to the defense of dwellings. At the beginning of the 21st century, the self-defense was reformed in many US states, with the introduction of a subjective criterion, when the rejection of the attack by the deadly force is to be considered necessary, and the introduction of several legal assumptions, which, in effect, greatly increased the number of cases where the murder of the attacker was justified. While extending the right to a self-defense increases the likelihood of possible abuse, the fact that in the Serbian judiciary the justification on this basis applies very restrictively does not encourage. The author points out that it is necessary to allocate defense of dwellings from the general regime of self-defense, and to overcome the inertia of courts on that basis by a different legislative approach.


For its excellent mechanical properties, elliptical flexure hinges have been widely used in compliant mechanisms. Based on the theory of Euler-Bernoulli beam, the compliance, stress and accuracy models of elliptical hinge were established. To design elliptical flexure hinges of best performance, the author proposed a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) search method, where an exponentially decreasing inertia weight is deployed instead of a linearly decreasing inertia weight. Simulations indicate that the MPSO method is very effective. The optimal design parameters including the cutout configuration and the minimum thickness are obtained


The tradition of concern in Leuven with messianism and with the Septuagint forms a fitting background for the subject with which the present Colloquium is concernedthe question of whether an evolution in messianic beliefs is to be discerned in the Septuagint. At the same time the fact that the Dead Sea Scrolls in their entirety are now available in reliable editions makes it an appropriate moment to take up this question in that the Scrolls do provide us with some first-hand evidence of Jewish messianic belief in the pre-Christian period. According to the author, two specific questions need to be addressed. Firstly, what are the criteria that need to be met for determining whether the Septuagint has, or has not, introduced a messianic reference? Secondly, how are we to assess the implicationswhether for an individual book or for the Septuagint as a wholeof such references as do exist?.Keywords: Colloquium; Dead Sea Scrolls; messianism; Septuagint


Rarefied clouds of dust and gas, such as occur in comets for example, may exhibit under certain conditions of illumination a wide variety of bright morphological features which are also characteristic of optical imaging. Very similar effects are observed to occur in the phenomena of atmospheric optics, with respect to both the morphology of the light patterns which are produced and their temporal behavior.


English is the most widely used language in the world. The popularity of the Internet has made people's demand for English translation more and more large. The problem of language communication barriers is gradually highlighted. Manual translation needs huge human and financial support. The technology has provided excellent hardware support for intelligent automatic translation. Therefore, this paper focuses on the research and design of translation system based on human-computer interaction enhancement algorithm. This paper first describes the characteristics of the intelligent English automatic translation system and the language model, the system and designs the system architecture and human-computer interaction interface. Finally, it analyzes the performance and the results of long sentence translation. The research results show that the intelligent English automatic translation system based on the human-computer interaction enhancement algorithm has better performance than the traditional machine translation system.


We are uniquely poised as a profession to address the basic research issues that will ensure our place as a profession on equal footing with medical research, psychological cross-cultural research, clinical and educational psychological research, and related mental health professions' research. In this editorial, I note the ongoing quest for art-based assessments that are both useful as clinical tools and useful in conducting quantitative and qualitative art therapy research. In determining what art-based assessments would be most optimal with which clients, we need a concerted effort to collect and analyze client responses (artwork) to these tasks. Before we even decide to do this, we need to update information about typical children's artistic development. Two articles in this issue are very pertinent to the discussion. Doris Arrington, working with homeless children in Kiev, discovered that their artwork revealed a very different "emotional picture" from that presented to the medical mission doctors. The doctors thought the children were relaxed, unafraid, and generally happy. However, when examining the artwork of these children, quite a different picture emerged. Their artwork suggested that they were anxious, traumatized, and depressed. When the children were questioned about their artwork, their reports confirmed what their artwork disclosed. The medical team was so impressed with how the artwork revealed the children's underlying emotional states that Peter Yorgin and Doris Arrington are currently involved in a study of the artwork of children undergoing kidney transplants (a highly stressful situation) at Stanford University. Donna Kaiser and Elizabeth Holt report on the kinetic family drawings (KFDs) of children in alcoholic families. Using a scale developed for this study, the authors noted a statistically significant difference between some of the items in drawings by children from alcoholic families and children not so identified. This finding may help to identify children who come from problematic family situations characterized by alcoholism. Using the KFD to identify these at-risk children may assist school counselors in providing early interventions to help them.


In order to improve the rough machining efficiency of titanium alloy, experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of feed per tooth on cutting force and cutting power with index-able coated carbide inserts. The curves of cutting parameters, including cutting force and cutting power, were obtained by single factor test. The results showed that, as the feed per tooth increases, the cutting force increases, especially in the direction of cutting width. All forces almost changed linearly with the changing of feed, and the cutting force of feed direction was the smallest force among the three directions of cutting force. The analytical model of tangential cutting force in the x-y plane was established. By calculating average chip thickness and relationships between tangential cutting force and measurements of cutting force to predict the cutting power, the calculation results were accurate which compared with the actual output power of the machine tool.

Differentiated thyroid cancer make up the vast majority of thyroid cancers with papillary thyroid cancer representing 84% of all thyroid cancer diagnoses. Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid presenting primarily as lateral neck swelling is rare. In the absence of thyroid swelling further evaluation should be done to exclude the primary tumors of scalp and head and neck region. Diagnosis of this condition is made by ultrasound guided FNAC. Surgery is the main treatment modality of choice. Here, we reported a case of an adult female who presented with isolated cervical lymphadenopathy and FNAC revealed metastatic papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Total thyroidectomy with central and posterolateral cervical neck dissection was done, with histology confirming as papillary thyroid carcinoma with local lymphnode metastasis.


Li4Ti5O12 pure and Li4Ti5O12 with Na and Al doped Li(3-x/3)AlxNaTi(5-2x/3)O12 (x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) as anodes for Li-ion batteries are synthesized at 850°C via solid state reaction using Li2CO3, TiO2-anatase, Al2O3 and Na2CO3 as precursor. The effect of substitution of Al and Na in Li4Ti5O12 on characterization of precursor and electrochemical performance is studied. It is found that Na doped in Li4Ti5O12 pure affected the formation of three phase i.e NaLiTi3O7, Li4Ti5O12, dan Li2TiO3. Meanwhile, Al doped contributed to the formation of NaLiTi3O7 phase significantly. The SEM images show that the particles have polyhedral shape with uniform size distribution. Na doped in the Li4Ti5O12 affected particle size become larger against Al doped particle size become smaller than undoped material, the best particle size measured by PSA is 30,89 . All characterization of material will determine the electrochemical performance of Li-ion battery.


ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a new three parameter lifetime distribution for modelling lifetime data. Among its interesting properties, it has the feature of possessing a periodic hazard rate function. Some of its mathematical properties are studied, including moments, moment generating function, mean deviations and order statistics. The estimation of its parameter is investigated using the maximum-likelihood estimation. A real-life data set is considered to illustrate the usefulness and the applicability of the proposed distribution.

A three-dimensional oil fate/transport model combined with an oil toxicity model to simulate the biological effects due to an oil spill is described. Specifically, the focus of this paper is on the effect on fish. However, the model formulation can be extended to determine the effects on other species. The model can simulate oil releases from the water surface or from an underwater source. The output from the oil transport and fate model along with the oil toxicity data are used by the oil toxicity sub-model to determine the biological effect. The mortality of a fish kind is estimated by using the Additive Toxicity method. From an economical point of view, Tokyo Bay is the most important bay in Japan. There are six ports in Tokyo Bay: Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Yokosuka, Chiba, and Kisarazu. It is also a good fishing ground for pelagic fish and benthic shellfish. In this paper, seven scenarios are simulated which use real biological data in Tokyo Bay. These simulations investigate the difference in mortality of different species, as well as the mortalities for nighttime vs. daytime spills and a surface spill vs. an underwater spill. The simulations are the worst-case scenarios during a fishing season.


We consider the C-algebra En,m, which is a q-twist of two Cuntz-Toeplitz algebras. For the case |q| < 1, we give an explicit formula which untwists the q-deformation showing that the isomorphism class of En,m does not depend on q. For the case |q| = 1, we give an explicit description of all ideals in En,m. In particular, we show that E q n,m contains a unique largest ideal Mq. We identify E q n,m/Mq with the Rieffel deformation of On ⊗ Om and use a K-theoretical argument to show that the isomorphism class does not depend on q. The latter result holds true in a more general setting of multiparameter deformations.


Information and the technological advancements for which mankind develops with regards to its storage has increased tremendously over the past few decades. As the total amount of data stored rapidly increases in conjunction with the amount of widely available computer-driven devices being used, solutions are being developed to better harness this data. These types of advancements are continually assisting investigators and computer forensic examiners. One such application which houses copious amounts of fruitful data is the Google Desktop Search program. Coupled with tested and verified techniques, examiners can exploit the power of this application to cater to their investigative needs. Please find within a real world case example of these techniques and its subsequent outcome.


This article intends to highlight how the usage of images and symbols reflect the inner psyche of individuals in the natural setting as in Ann Beattie's "Snow." The coldness in the depths of the forest like setting pulls two lovers to the landscape to have a rest and happiness. The language spent sounds all the coldness. At the end, the snowplow scraps all the snow outside as if cleaning the darkness of the inner psyches of individuals living there. The language used is poetic enough to keep all the secrets in itself. The male lover abruptly leaves the female lover by creating the questions to find the reasons for departing. The house they accomodate reflects all the hidden messages having solely three belongings: a library, a fireplace and a wallpaper. The snow, snowplow, ice, cold water, fireplace sound coldness as a whole in the context of the open-ended short short story which reflects poetic messages in depth.


An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the Cobalt-based Stellite 6, powder deposited on SS 304 stainless steel substrate without any intermittent layer using an atmospheric plasma spray deposition process by varying the thickness of coating in the range of 74 µm, 128 µm, and 215 µm. The effect of coating thickness on metallurgical properties and corrosion resistance behavior was investigated. Optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to study the morphology of Stellite 6 coating. X-Ray Diffraction was used for structural analysis and to identify the phase formation. It was observed that the sample with 128 µm coating thickness provides the best result concerning microhardness and microstructure characteristics whereas the sample with 215 µm coating thickness provides the best corrosion resistance property. The reasons for the deviation were investigated and the factors responsible for the deviation were assigned in this investigation.


Kant's attitude toward metaphysics and ontology is ambiguous in his Critical work. On the standard view of the Critique of Pure Reason, the positive and negative aspects of this attitude map neatly onto the two major sections of that work. After that first section presents a "Transcendental Analytic" of the understanding, or a "metaphysics of experience," which legitimates the use of certain pure concepts necessary for structuring our spatiotemporal knowledge, a Transcendental Dialectic is provided to expose fallacies that theoretical reason entangles itself in when it extends itself beyond experience. Just prior to that Dialectic, Kant also inserts an "Appendix" on "concepts of reflection" that sketches how the restriction of our use of pure concepts to the domain of experience limits the general claims of the traditional ontology of the Leibnizian system. These attacks would appear to complement each other. Whereas the specific errors of rational psychology, rational cosmology, and rational theology are exposed in the core of the Dialectic, the critique of ontology and the general discussions of the operations of "reflection" and "reason" suggest a principle of closure for dismissing all claims of our theoretical reason that would stray beyond a merely immanent spatiotemporal field.


This article argues that the field of new religions studies is driven in large part by a paradigm based in the assumption that new religious movements are comparable because they are social problems. It outlines a social problems paradigm drawing upon the work of Joel Best, illustrates how the paradigm is taught in textbooks on new religious movements, shows its value through the recent work of Stuart A. Wright and Susan J. Palmer, and offers a criticism of the paradigm through Benjamin E. Zeller's study of Heaven's Gate. The question of what makes each movement and its study significant is raised and challenged. The article concludes with reasons for moving new religions scholarship beyond the social problems paradigm in favor of a paradigm of social possibilities.


Language is the cornerstone of the evolutionary civilization of human society. The ideology which dominates a society is reflected in all spheres, such as the culture, culture, lifestyle habits, and customs of the people living in that society. It is the language that does the greatest job of penetrating such an ideology into different spheres of society. In that sense, although various languages have emerged in the world and symbolized humanity, only a few languages are in use. Tamil is one of the oldest languages in the world, which has lived and grown and flourished from the Stone Age to the Computer Age and has reached the status of a classical language in the world and is emerging as a standard language. Since its inception, the Tamil language has seen various forms and modifications. Tamil is the first language in which it has attained various stages such as origin, survival, stagnation, decline, growth, innovation, etc., in the path it has gone through and has perfected itself n the course of time. In this respect, the purpose of this article is not only to examine the constructive intellectual work that Dravidianism is doing to the linguistic Tamil community but also to examine the constructive intellectual work in various spheres. In this way, the Dravidian personalities, history, and hidden great works are brought out and this research becomes a seed for the revolution that will make the community fight for the restoration of Tamil through Dravidianism and the preservation of the race.

We study a stability criterion hypothesis for superfluids in terms of the the local density spectral function $I_n (r, \omega)$ applicable both to homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems. We evaluate the local density spectral function in the presence of a one-dimensional repulsive/attractive external potential within the Bogoliubov theory using solutions of the tunneling problem. We also evaluate the local density spectral function using an orthogonal basis, and calculate the autocorrelation function $C_n (r,t)$. When superfluids flow below a threshold, we find that in the $d$-dimensional system, $I_n (r, \omega) \propto \omega^{d}$ in the low-energy regime and $C_n (r, t) \propto 1/t^{d+1}$ in the long-time regime hold. When superfluids flow with the critical current, on the other hand, we find $I_n (r, \omega) \propto \omega^{\beta}$ in the low-energy regime and $C_n (r,t) \propto 1/t^{\beta+1}$ in the long-time regime with $\beta < d$. These results support the stability criterion hypothesis recently proposed.


This work shows the effect of selected ionic liquids on the catalytic performance of a Cu/Al2O3 catalyst towards citral hydrogenation. The Cu/Al2O3 was prepared using a combination of wet impregnation and strong electrostatic interaction technique. The catalyst was coated with three ionic liquids, namely: [C4C1Pyrr][OTf], [C2C1C1Im][NTf2], and [C2C1Im][NTf2] resulting in Cu‐based SCILL catalysts (solid catalyst with an ionic liquid layer). The fresh and used SCILL catalysts were characterized using FT‐IR spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis. All Cu‐SCILL catalysts were stable throughout the liquid‐phase reactions with no leaching of ionic liquid being detectable by means of TGA. All ionic liquids investigated prevented the formation of undesired isopulegol compared to the 30 % isopulegol selectivity obtained over the bare Cu/Al2O3 catalyst. The Cu‐SCILL (coated with 15 wt% [C2C1Im][NTf2]) increased the selectivity towards geraniol and nerol by 340 %.


Abstract This paper devotes analytical effort in developing the 2M equivalent approach to analyse both the effect of vehicle body roll and n-axle handling on vehicle dynamics. The 1M equivalent vehicle 2DOF equation including an equivalent roll effect was derived from the conventional two-axle 3DOF vehicle model. And the 1M equivalent dynamics concepts were calculated to evaluate the steady-state steering, frequency characteristics, and root locus of the two-axle vehicle with only the effect of body roll. This 1M equivalent approach is extended to a three-axle 3DOF model to derive similar 1M equivalent mathematical identities including an equivalent roll effect. The 1M equivalent wheelbases and stability factor with the effect of the third axle or body roll, and 2M equivalent wheelbase and stability factor including both the effect of body roll and the third-axle handling were derived to evaluate the steady-state steering, frequency characteristics, and root locus of the three-axle vehicle. By using the recursive method, the generalised 1M equivalent wheelbase and stability factor with the effect of n-axle handling and 2M equivalent generalised wheelbase and stability factor including both the effect of body roll and n-axle handling were derived to evaluate the steady-state steering, frequency characteristics, and root locus of the n-axle vehicle. The 2M equivalent approach and developed generalised mathematical handling concepts were validated to be useful and could serve as an important tool for estimating both the effect of vehicle body roll and n-axle handling on multi-axle vehicle dynamics.


Mean shift is a popular approach for data clustering, however, the high computational complexity of the mean shift procedure limits its practical applications in high dimensional and large data set clustering. In this paper, we propose an efficient method that allows mean shift clustering performed on large data set containing tens of millions of points at interactive rate. The key in our method is a new scheme for approximating mean shift procedure using a greatly reduced feature space. This reduced feature space is adaptive clustering of the original data set, and is generated by applying adaptive KD‐tree in a high‐dimensional affinity space. The proposed method significantly reduces the computational cost while obtaining almost the same clustering results as the standard mean shift procedure. We present several kinds of data clustering applications to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method, including image and video segmentation, static geometry model and time‐varying sequences segmentation.

Traditional motion compensation is based on a simplistic assumption of a piecewise constant and pure translational motion field. Premised on the inefficiency of such block-copying-based algorithms in compressing real-life videos, this paper proposes overlapped block motion compensation for AV1, a next generation open-source video codec. Motions assigned to surrounding blocks will contribute to predicting a current block, via a well-defined overlapping scheme appropriately designed for advanced variable block-size partitioning frameworks. To efficiently incorporate the proposed tool, the encoder is optimized with proper early termination to manage complexity in conjunction with weighted motion search accounting for non-uniformly weighted distortion in overlapped prediction. Moreover as an extension, by re-arranging decoding operations, we enable non-causal overlapping which also utilizes motions of bottom and right neighbors. Being verified by integration in the AV1 codec, the tools achieve considerable coding gains on various test sets.


To analyse the transmission rule of vehicle load in low embankment in view of the engineering characteristics of roadbed soil and coupling kinetics,a coupling mechanic model for dynamic analyses of roadbed is established.The differential equation for coupling motion is derived.Based on the background of Lianyungang-Yancheng Freeway in Jiangsu province,the variation laws of dynamic response of roadbed under different conditions are investigated.The calculational results show that the vehicle′s weight,height of embankment,mode of load and stiffness of base layer of pavement have prominent influences on the vibration of roadbed,but not the velocity.Through the comparison between the numerical values and the spot measured values,the reliabilities of constructed coupling dynamic model of roadbed and method of calculation are validated.


The UN study concludes that by the end of this century a substantial reduction in the present income gap between developed and developing countries is feasible. The resource base for realizing the envisaged growth rates is not seen as a limiting factor; limits might rather be imposed by the inflexibility of the international economic order as well as by economic, social and political institutions in developing countries. Industrialization in developing countries based on heavy industries is expected to serve as the engine of growth, the capital requirements for which are met primarily by domestic sources. Different conclusions, however, are arrived at in this appraisal of major aspects of the UN study: A high concentration of productive resources in heavy industries tends to aggravate the developing countries' problems of unemployment and balance-of-payments deficits, since technologies involved are labor-saving, capital requirements are too high and export chances are low. There is not enough empirical evidence to support the UN study's optimism that investment in heavy industries of the order of magnitude involved can be financed by increasing domestic savings and by the inflow of foreign capital into developing countries. 0 An industrialization strategy which aims at exploiting existing resources of developing countries more efficiently should concentrate on labor- and /or raw material-intensive activities. An industry-mix based on present and potential comparative advantages will increase their international competitiveness and encourage direct investment from abroad. The proposition to increase the relative prices of developing countries' primary commodity exports would neither help reduce their balance-of-payments deficits nor improve their income position over the long run. On the contrary, it would result in a world-wide misallocation of resources and induce resource saving in the developed countries.


ABSTRACT In the last 20 years, the integration of marketing functions has moved from theory to practice. Its specific applications may vary from market to market—indeed, from enterprise to enterprise—but integrated marketing communications (IMC) programs have become standard for marketing organizations, agencies, and the academic community. A review of the best IMC advertising and public relations practices in the United States, Korea, and Great Britain, however, reveals not just cultural divergence in adoption and practice, but also underlying weaknesses regarding IMC as a process and practice. The findings support the need to focus future IMC research within client organizations.

The braking torque of a hydraulic retarder is determined by both the filling rate of its working chamber and the speed of its input shaft. One of the methods in controlling the braking torque of a retarder is to adjustthe filling rate of its working chamber by employ a pneumatic solenoid proportional valve. The structure of the proportional valve and its working characteristics are studied,a simulation model of the valve is established in AMESim,and a performance test is designed for the valve on the steady state. The simulation results are consistent with the experimental data. And the pressure response characteristics of the proportional valve under different input signals can be predicted by using the simulation model.


Objective
To compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block(FICB) above inguinal ligament and longitudinal inguinal FICB for postoperative analgesia in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods
Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ orⅡ patients of both sexes, aged 65-76 yr, with body mass index of 19-26 kg/m2, scheduled for elective unilateral THA, were divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table method: FICB above inguinal ligament group (S group) or longitudinal inguinal FICB group (G group). After the end of surgery, patients received ultrasound-guided FICB using a short-axis in-plane technique in S group and longitudinal inguinal FICB using a long-axis in-plane technique in G group, and patients received 0.4% ropivacaine as a loading dose of 40 ml, followed by continuous infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine 5 ml/h for 48 h. Ultrasound imaging time, puncture injection time and operating time of FICB were recorded.The efficacy of nerve block, effective pressing times, cumulative consumption of ropivacaine, satisfaction with analgesia, and development of related complications were recorded at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h after surgery (T1-6).

Results
Compared with group G, the requirement for rescue analgesia with dezocine was significantly decreased, the effective pressing times at T3-5 and cumulative consumption of ropivacaine at T3, 4 were reduced, and the success rate of obturator nerve block was increased at T1-6 in group S (P 0.05).

Conclusion
Ultrasound-guided FICB above inguinal ligament increases the success rate of the obturator nerve block, provides better efficacy for postoperative analgesia and is more helpful for early postoperative functional exercise and recovery than the longitudinal inguinal FICB in the patients undergoing THA.

Smith et al. (1962) reported a case of anterior sacculation of the pregnant uterus at term. They drew attention to what was called true sacculation as opposed to pseudo-sacculation, pointing out that this distinction has important implications for delivery. Evans et al. (1986) suggested that the case described by Smith et al. (1962) would better have been termed retroversion with incarceration, since it represented complete retroflexion with the lower uterine segment stretched anteriorly over the uterine surface and the fundus situated in the pelvis. With this situation vaginal delivery is possible and if labour occurs there is a danger of uterine rupture (Evans et al. 1986). The term sacculation would better be reserved for cases in which part of the wall of the uterus has ballooned out but uterine polarity remains normal. This condition was reviewed by Weissberg et al. (1972) and a normal vaginal delivery was achieved in 10 of the 38 cases reported. By these definitions, incarceration of the retroverted gravid uterus persisting beyond the second trimester has been reported only six times since 1806 (Meniman 1806; Oldham 1860; Murray 1934; Smith et al. 1962; Wood 1967; Evans et al. 1986). Its occurrence is associated with adhesions between the fundus and the pouch of Douglas, a fundal fibroid, uterine malformation or a deep sacral concavity with overlying sacral promontory. This is the third case associated with a bicornuate uterus and the second with bilateral hydronephrosis (the other case associated with hydronephrosis was also associated with a fundal fibroid). When a pregnancy is complicated by bilateral hydronephrosis an obstructing pelvic lesion must be considered and a vaginal examination should be done. In this case the vaginal examination at booking had been normal and subsequent ultrasound scans had not raised further suspicion of a pelvic mass. However, vaginal examination should have been repeated, in which case a mass in the pouch of Douglas would have been identified and it would have proved difficult to palpate the cervical 0s. These findings should have suggested retroverted incarceration. Had the diagnosis still remained obscure, then a midline laparotomy incision would have been made to provide adequate access to whatever pathology might have been encountered. It may then have been possible to correct the polarity of the uterus, as described by Evans et al. (1 986), enter the uterine cavity via an appropriate incision, and obviate the need for hysterectomy. We doubt the reliability of ultrasound for diagnosing the condition described. Given that a pelvic mass has been identified it would help to distinguish a fibroid from a cyst, but the thin layers of the attenuated lower segment stretched anteriorly would, to the unsuspecting observer, appear to be layers of the anterior abdominal wall.

Local insulin-induced lipoatrophy, an immune-mediated loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue at insulin administration sites, is now a rare complication of insulin therapy in patients with diabetes. Lipoatrophy incidence, previously noted in 10–55% of patients using animal-derived insulins (1), declined considerably with the advent of and improved purity of modern insulins. Yet, it continues to be reported with insulin analogs (2,3) and poses a clinical challenge owing to erratic insulin absorption at affected areas and distressing cosmetic issues.

We previously demonstrated increased degranulating tryptase/chymase-positive mast cells in biopsies from insulin-induced lipoatrophic sites and reported that topical cromolyn sodium (prepared with 4% cromolyn sodium in petrolatum solvent for topical administration twice daily to affected areas) was efficacious therapy in a small series (4). Since this report, we were contacted by 34 health care providers, caregivers, and patients worldwide, to whom we administered surveys to …

The electron-impact widths for 30 Zr III lines were calculated using the modified semi-empirical (MSE) method. For two Zr II and four Zr III astrophysically important UV lines, only electron-impact widths are given, since for their calculation the experimental oscillator strengths were used and consequently the accuracy of the parameters is lower than in the case of other lines. The influence of the electron-impact mechanism on line shapes and equivalent widths in hot star atmospheres was also considered. The impact of the electron-impact broadening effect on abundance determination, particularly its effect on "zirconium conflict" is discussed as well.


African elephants (Loxodonta africana, Loxodonta cyclotis) and asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are endangered species in free-ranging wildlife. Elephant husbandry in zoo is difficult and the captive population gradually decreases. Elephant tuberculosis is a zoo disease: many cases of this mycobacteriosis have been reported in zoo elephants but not in wild elephants. For ten years several diagnostic tests and treatments have been developed and tested in order to improve their performance. Elephants often show no clinical signs and tuberculosis is mainly due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis as in the human disease. Therefore, an outbreak of tuberculosis in a zoological collection represents an important zoonotic risk for staff and visitors. The management of these cases mainly depends on Health Authorities' policy as seen in the example at the Safari de Peaugres (Ardèche, France) in 2004.

The Yingkou-Weifang fault zone is the part of the Tan-Lu fault zone across the Bohai Sea,and it controlled the development of Bohai Bay Basin during the Paleogene.Since the Neogene,its activities have been still strong.Based on some new data from the Exploration Institute of CNOOC Research Center and the early studies,the neotectonics and its activities of the fault zone were studied,the results showed that the reactivity of the Paleogene System faults(old faults) in Yingkou-Weifang fault zone had generated minor faults and folds in the overlying Guantao Formation,Minghuazhen Formation and Qutanary System.The neotectonics were characterized by many faults.The generation and deformation of the newly-generated faults and reactive old faults showed the succession and segmentation of the neotectonics.The structural characteristics and activity of the fault zone in the different segments were analyzed.Six activity episodes of neotectonics of the fault zone were determined.


course as a history chronicle through the battles of sluys, crécy, poitiers, and the siege of calais. the seduction scenes, melchiori argues, were inserted in replacement of previous material, presumably the circumstances in which the order of the Garter was created. if one accepts melchiori's persuasive assessment of the textual genesis of Edward III, both passages argue a play reshuffled to accommodate new material, and with it new meanings, vastly different from the initial project. trading the stuff of legend for a shameful lapse of honour undercuts the view of edward as england's iconic knight. the play is not the "continuous illustration of warrior honor" and the vehicle of "national prestige" that early scholarship has envisaged,3 but a critical exploration of power. larry s. champion has discussed its darker side, an undertow of plundering, piracy, and pressure, resulting in ironic tension between eulogy and censure: "[a] glance beyond the monarchophilia and patriotic glitter reveals [...] a play in which putative honor bows to greed and kingly solicitude is transformed into political exploitation".4 analysing the prevalence of questions of vows and allegiance in the play, champion concludes that "the relationship of a subject's integrity to his allegiance to his king is the crucial issue".5 It is significant that the most thorough treatment thereof occurs in the most recent layer of the text, the countess of salisbury section. reasons for this change of course are found in the

The equilibrium positions of some one-dimensional systems coincide with the zeros of Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi polynomials. Using the discriminants of these classical orthogonal polynomials it is then possible to calculate the values of the potential energies of the one-dimensional systems at equilibrium. It is also shown that the zeros of Bessel polynomials coincide with the equilibrium positions of certain dynamical systems.


Eight new dibasic acid esters of 3-quinuclidinol have been synthesized and isolated as their free bases using an alcoholysis reaction. A ninth compound, 3-quinuclidinyl hydrogen homophthalate, could not be isolated with sufficient purity to obtain an elemental analysis. However, this compound showed characteristic ester bands and gave a positive hydroxamic acid test. In a preliminary pharmacological evaluation in dogs, 3-quinuclidinyl hydrogen phthalate and 3-quinuclidinyl hydrogen 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylate gave a substantial increase in blood pressure and produced central stimulation as evidenced by a marked increase in respiration. Five compounds showed varying degrees of local anesthetic activity.


The toroidal flow generation by the ICRF minority heating is investigated in the Alcator C‐Mod like tokamak plasma applying GNET code, in which the drift kinetic equation is solved in 5D phase‐space. An asymmetry of velocity distribution function in the parallel direction is found and two kinds of toroidal flows are observed. One is the sheared flow near the RF power absorption region depending on the sign of k∥ and the other is the toroidal flow, which is larger than the previous one, independent of the sign of k∥. It is found that the k∥ sign dependent flow would be related to the mechanism proposed by Ohkawa et al. [Phys. Plasmas 12 (2005) 094506.] and that the k∥ sign independent toroidal flow is generated by the net toroidal motion of energetic tail ions. We also investigate the effect of RF wave field profile on the toroidal flow generation comparing the local and broad heating cases. A broader toroidal flow is obtained and about 5 times of ICRF heating power is necessary for generating the similar ...


The physical response and geotechnical properties of diatomaceous soils are not fully understood, data are sparse, and do not account for the effects of single and multispecies frustule content, origin, type, and variability. The main physical problem lies in the irregular response of diatomaceous soils due to micro and nano scale causes and its unexpected effects on the macro scale. This research compared the characteristics of a multispecies diatomaceous soil sample (North American origin) with other diatomaceous single-species soils. Six artificial soil mixtures were prepared, dosed by weight, in order to determine the influence of the content of frustules. The results show that the liquid limit of the samples is lower than that of the monospecies samples for any content of frustules. The pore areas of the monospecies samples are found to be 4 to 7 times larger than those of the North American soil. Void ratios and compressibility ranges are higher as the diatom content increases. The internal friction angle of diatomaceous soils varies in a non-linear tendency with respect to fossil content. For the studied soil at 100% fossil concentration, the internal friction angle reached 38.32°, a magnitude that is lower than the values reported for most of the monospecies contrast samples.

Conrad's novels' commitment to exploring the expressive and philosophicalpotentialofsilencehasprovokedagreatdealofcontroversy.In particular, the role silence plays in producing metaphysical landscapes for the narratives' events has been subject to scrutiny. 1 This singular use of silence can be interpreted in contrary ways, either positively as a sign of authentic experience residing outside of an imperialist worldview or negatively as a product of a Eurocentric perspective which is unable to credit indigenous peoples with voice and agency. Less uncertainty, however, surrounds the meanings of the mute geographies inHeart of


This article aimed to criticize the juridical basis of scope of crime mentioned on Law Number 37 of 2004, focuses on criminal responsibility of a curator based on independence principle of bankruptcy law. Essentially, bankruptcy is a part of civil law. However, some bankruptcy cases eventually evolve into criminal matters when a bankruptcy curator who is responsible in handling and administering bankruptcy case is positioned as defendant charged for conducting criminal acts. As stated on Article 234 Verse 2 of Law Number 37 of 2004, a curator who is proven not independent during bankruptcy court may be charged with criminal law. Criminal sanctions for non-independent curators aimed at preventing the curator from committing criminal acts in the course of the execution of the duty and maintenance tasks. Here, the role of criminal law is as a guardian of the norms that exist in the Law on Bankruptcy related to the duties and responsibilities of the curator. In order for a curator or committee before declaring his willingness to accept the duties and responsibilities of the consequences of the bankruptcy verdict or the postponement of the debt obligation obligation (PKPU) really ensure that he will not commit a disgraceful act of.

Hydrogenated amorphous diamond-like carbon (DLC) films produced by RF-glow discharge deposition from hydrocarbon mixtures in a parallel diode-type plasma reactor were investigated. The DLC films were obtained at various gas mixture compositions and bias voltages (Vb). Raman spectra of DLC films in the range 1000 - 1800 cm-1 were analyzed. Our results are given in terms of I(D)/I(G) intensity ratio, bands position, and width (FWHM) as a function of bias voltage and gas mixture. The analysis of Raman spectra shows that bias voltage value is critical for the DLC films structure. The increase of Vb from -200 V to -700 V results in the essential high-frequency shift of G- and D-bands and change of their intensities ratio I(D)/I(G) from 0.64 (Vb equals 200 V) to 3.2 (Vb equals 700 V). Similar high-frequency shift, change of FWHM and I(D)/I(G) intensities ratio were observed at the variation of methane concentration in gas mixture composition from 100 to 20%.


The interrelation between the low-temperature specific heat and the conductivity have been studied for amorphous ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{x}{\mathrm{Si}}_{100\ensuremath{-}x}$ alloy systems over a wide composition range $6l~xl~41.$ By analyzing the temperature dependence of the conductivity we concluded that the metal-insulator transition occurs at $x\ensuremath{\approx}9.5.$ The T-linear electronic coefficient $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ of the specific heat varies smoothly across the MIT. We have defined the specific heat density of states as ${g}_{0}=3\ensuremath{\gamma}/{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{2}{k}_{B}^{2}.$ The relation $\ensuremath{\sigma}(0)\ensuremath{\propto}{g}_{0}^{2}$ was found to hold on the metallic side for a very wide range of the Ti content $13.3l~xl~41$ and to extend down to $\ensuremath{\sigma}(0)$ of about 130 $(\ensuremath{\Omega} \mathrm{cm}{)}^{\ensuremath{-}1}.$ The Mott minimum metallic conductivity appears to be a relevant boundary parameter between the scaling and the strong scattering regimes.


ABSTRACT The need for normative change is rarely self-evident but requires the sustained efforts of actors to create a demand for action. With emerging technologies such as autonomous weapons systems (AWS), the challenge is even greater given the early stages of development and use of these systems. This places unusual demands on actors to present evidence for the nature, scale and severity of a problem. Suggesting that the epistemic bases of norm-building are poorly understood, the article introduces a practice-theoretical approach to cast light on how international organisations cope with the uncertainty surrounding AWS. The key claim is that the emergence of anticipatory norms depends upon forward-looking epistemic practices that produce knowledge about future governance objects and create a demand for preventive action. Analysing the role of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), I argue that attempts to de-science-fictionalise the issue rather than futuristic scenarios may proof integral to propel the emergence of anticipatory norms.
