With the prosperous economic growing, better living standard and an eastern traditional custom- Instead of having money, it is more important to have house property ownership, the needs for real estate in Taiwan have been raised. House property is not just an accommodation but also a good investment, so it helps greatly in real estate's developing of Taiwan. However, economic condition circulation and international situation could easily influence real estate industry. Therefore, to cope with those influential factors, the marketing strategy of real estate industry should have more flexibility. The study adopts A company (case A) and B company (case B) which researchers work for as case study. Through collecting data from real estate enterprises, the study based on marketing theories analyses management problems that enterprises face and bring out strategies for enhancing competence in industrial competition. The analysis includes the general environment trend and impact under separate condition. The study discusses coping methods and strategies for enterprise marketing orientation. The house properties of A and B companies are sold separately under positive and negative economic conditions. The study discovers when in the high level of economic condition circulation, the enterprise can design low-valued accommodations as investing products for unspecified groups of customers. Because the customers have positive mind in investment at this moment, and with the relevant plans, customers are willing to invest in the appropriate products. Under analyses of case A and B's marketing strategies in different environments, the study has indicated though environment influences the real estate industry, strategic marketing is the most crucial factor, along with product's added value and regional condition. When facing the environmental impact, the case study's enterprises flexibly adjust their products and marketing strategies. Through case study and interviews with experts, the study proposes the coping marketing strategies reference for Taiwan's real estate industry.


Aims Fine-roots (≤2 mm diameter) are important in controlling energy and matter exchange between tree and soil. Fine-root longevity is a critical determinant of fine-root turnover and therefore carbon allocation and nutrients returned to the soil. However, little is known about variation in fine-root longevity in relation to spatial and temporal heterogeneity in availability of soil resources (such as temperature, moisture and nitrogen). How does availability of soil resources affect fine root longevity? Do different tree species, soil depths and root cohorts have different fine-root longevity in the same forest site? To answer these questions it is important to understand the fate of fine roots in soil with heterogeneous resource availability. The objectives of this study were to: 1) compare fine-root longevity between ash (Fraxinus mandshurica) and larch (Larix gmelinii) in the same site, 2) define patterns of fine-root longevity in different soil depths and elucidate the effect of availability of soil resources on fine-root longevity and 3) analyze seasonal changes of fine-root longevity for both species. Methods Mini-rhizotrons (root observation tubes) were used to estimate fine-root longevity. We established three 20 m×30 m plots in an ash and larch plantation, and installed six clear PVC (polyvinyl chloride) mini-rhizotron tubes (90 cm long × 5.5 cm inside diameter) in each plot in October 2003. From 16 April to 30 October in 2004, video images were collected from the mini-rhizotron tubes at approximately two-week intervals and analyzed with an image analysis system (RooTracker software). We compared differences in longevity between tree species, soil depths and seasonal root cohorts using cumulative survival rate and median root longevity (MRL) of fine roots by Kaplan-Meier methods in survival analysis. Important findings Cumulative survival rate of fine roots decreased gradually with time. Survivorship curves showed that cumulative survival rate of fine roots in ash was significantly higher than that in larch (p 0.001 ); MRL was 111±7 d in ash and 77±4 d in larch. Higher fine root mortality was found in 0-20 cm soil, as MRL was 62±11 d for larch and 111±6 d for ash, contrasting with 95±11 d for larch and 124±20 d for ash in deep soil. This study also indicated longer lifespans of fine roots produced in summer (82±6 d for larch) than spring (47±13 d). Similar seasonal pattern was found for ash. Fine-root longevity was different between tree species due to different root genetics, physiology and architecture. High soil temperature and high N content can decrease fine root longevity. In summer, photosynthates are allocated to roots and fine roots grow rapidly and have increased longevity. Our results suggested that fine-root longevity is correlated with genetics of the species, physiological status and soil resource availability.


This paper examines the essential role which color coding, as one of the internal branding instruments, plays in a successful self PR campaign in university settings. This study is based on 10-year experience of the Department of Foreign Languages of the Nizhni Novgorod Institute of Public and Business Administration in engaging staff, students and alumni in brand development of a certain program inside the institute. It is found that color stereotypes, related to a specific program inside the institute, influence students' brand attitudes, namely brand loyalty. These attitudes also motivate students for better performance in their studies.


Background and Purpose:Rehabilitation of patients with low function, multisystems involvement, and concomitant fear of activity (kinesiophobia) is challenging in acute care. The purpose of this case report was to describe the physical therapy (PT) management of a patient admitted to an acute care hospital with an uncommon diagnosis and employment of a unique assessment and intervention component. Case Description:A 48-year-old woman with mixed connective tissue disease–associated pulmonary artery hypertension was hospitalized after rapid decline in function and medical status. Because the patient presented with extreme fear of activity, PT management included the use of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia and music therapy. Outcomes:The patient made modest improvements in her impairments and functional limitations despite a poor medical prognosis. The use of music during PT increased her participation in therapeutic exercise and, therefore, activity tolerance. Objective assessment of the patient's level of kinesiophobia allowed clear identification of this barrier and the use of strategies to minimize it. Discussion:This case describes the PT management of a complex patient using strategies that are not frequently used in acute care settings. The use of nontraditional PT outcome measures and interventions can be feasible, especially for patients with long hospital stays like the patient described in this case.


The main purpose of the research results presented in this article is an attempt to define the goal and the objectives of the new discipline — transdisciplinary regionology, taking into consideration the experience of Russian and foreign schools. The subject of the research is approaches to defining goals and objectives of regional studies in different schools. To study these approaches, the authors use systemic analysis, comparative analysis, conceptual analysis and terminological analysis as the main methods. The article covers the process of establishing a new scientific discipline, which unites the achievements of different disciplines that focus on studying regions and regional processes. The authors substantiate transdisciplinarity as its basic characteristic and explain the choice of the term "regionology". The results of the work are applicable in the process of theoretical development of terminology and methodology of regional studies as well as in planning applied works in this field. In the conclusion of the article, the authors infer that the main goal of transdisciplinary regionology is to define the laws of uneven development of world regions basing on the transdisciplinary approach and the scientific-pragmatic experience of the region or group of regions under study, which determines its specific objectives


Reoperative aortic root replacement, following prior biologic or mechanical valved conduit aortic root prosthesis, presents a technical challenge. The rapid‐deployment aortic valve prosthesis is an approved alternative to traditional bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement. We present three clinical cases in which rapid‐deployment aortic valve prostheses were utilized in lieu of reoperative full aortic root replacement. All three patients recovered uneventfully. The rapid‐deployment valve insertion in a prior surgical aortic root prosthesis is a safe option to avoid reoperative full aortic root replacement.


This paper points out various risks existing in the course of logistics outsourcing, such as system change, moral credit failure, uncontrolled operations, and vague contractual liability. After intensively analyzing these risks, the author raises some concrete and effective measures on how to prevent and control these risks. The aim of this paper is to provide some references to those enterprises which have already conducted or are planning to conduct logistics outsourcing.


The 34% world supply of food proteins comes from livestock and the need to supplement it, makes that the number of animals rearing increases day by day. Nowadays, this process is not effective due to the farmers not having the correcttools and devices to minimize their energy consumption. In line, the objective of this project is to design an algorithm that helps to compress and decompress images to optimize the energy that is required for classifying and obtaining theinformation of the animals. The algorithms that we imple?mented to achieve the objective previously mentioned were the lossy image compression with Fast Fourier Transform and lossless image compression with Huffman Coding, they were the ones that gave us the best results in terms of complexity execution time, the least possible loss of information and with a good compression ratio.


Albania, by the end of the last century, was a very isolated country with a centralised economy, small towns, many villages and everything under the totalitarian system. Later on, during the two last decades, the country has experienced many changes. The first one together with the political change from the 'monopartitism' to the pluralism system, was the change of the economy, from being centralised into the market-based one. The other big change was the internal migration, people moved from villages to towns. Those changes have both positive and negative sides, which indicated in the ballance of the urbanization of a country and in the economy, as well. Recent theories of urbanization have emphasized that it is not an autonomous process, but must be analyzed with the main patterns of political and economical changes. Internal migration, connected with the new landscape of urbanization was developed through three stages since the fall of communism:
• The first phase was dominated by the informal sector.
• The second phase was characterized by consolidation and the emergence of the informal sector to the formal sector.
• The third and current phase consists in strengthening the formal sector and informal regulation of development. The main objective of the third phase will be to formalize and integrate the real estate market.
It is visible the transformation from informal to formal sector and such a development would affect areas of the financial system of a country. Clearly the restructuring reforms have generated economic growth. Financial sustainability is a developed system, which supports and promotes economical development and, a developed economy is connected with the stable financial sector. There is still significant room for improvement in the management of urban planning development, in particular to find a more appropriate public and private interests in land development and the use of both, private and public, property.The questions are connected with the sectors that affect the economical development of a country:
• First, mention construction
• The trade sector
• Infrastructure
• Tourism
The analyses of the above topics are connected with National Economical Integration and Urban Planning.

: Now a day's whole hospital doctors are facing lot of problem with nursing staff for maintaining all vital parameters monitoring and recording time to time. In this project we have implemented a complete automatic wireless based monitoring & recording vital parameters of patient like heartbeat, body temperature, emergency request measuring through embedded systems using AT89C52 Microcontroller, ADC0809 8 bit 8 channel ADC and Sensors, LCD display. Here the program written in microcontroller reads the data from all sensors and display on 16*2 LCD dot matrix display and the same data is transferred through wireless transmitter. We are adding one more facility the control system raises alarm if any one of the parameters exceeds beyond the normal values. The main controller unit will send those sensed data of that patient by the help of Global system mobile (GSM) Module to the observer/doctor. The observer/doctor can receive the SMS sent by GSM module and further decision can be taken. The message is sent to a mobile phone using GSM Modem. This is a low cost project for monitoring patient data with respect to date and time without fail and it becomes easy to analyze the graphical representation of patient data.

I come from a medical family. My father and uncle were physicians, and my father also chaired a department at a West Coast medical school for over 30 years. I am sure I got my interest in teaching from him. My brother is a physician and is currently the safety and quality officer of a Canadian province. My mother operated the last non-automated medical laboratory in my state. I have always understood what sacrifices are made by health care professionals, and I think I have managed to learn a bit about their motivations as well. I was in private practice for ten years with litigation firms, and the last five years of that time I worked for a firm that specialized in professional liability defense and health law.


The intensity of the absorption due to v20 at 1036 cm—1 in solid benzene at —170°C has been measured relative to the intensity of this band measured with the same benzene film in the liquid phase at 25°C. From this ratio and from the value for the absolute intensity of v20 in liquid benzene reported by Hisatsune and Jayadevappa, a value of 670±90 darks for the absolute intensity of v20 in solid benzene has been obtained. Using the relative intensity measurements reported earlier, the absolute intensities of all the gasphase‐allowed fundamentals have been estimated. All the intensities in the crystal are lower than the values in the liquid phase, but the behavior of the bands at 1036 and 1480 cm—1 is not too abnormal. However, the intensities of the fundamentals at 687 and 3060 cm—1 decrease markedly from the gas‐phase values, the former by a factor greater than two, the latter by a factor of seven. Thus, it is concluded that the interactions in the solid which cause the intensity to change are quite speci...


Aim: Methemoglobin (MetHb) is an abnormal form of the hemoglobin molecule and is at the top of the list of reasons to consider in severe central cyanosis. The most common cause of methemoglobinemia among toxins is local anesthetics used in high doses. The case is here presented of postoperative methemoglobinemia due to administration of prilocaine as a local anesthetic for scalp mass excision. Presentation of case: A 43-year old, 70 kg female was scheduled for scalp mass excision by the Plastic Surgery Dept. The anaesthesia history of the patient was normal and 20mL of 2% prilocaine was administered subcutaneously as local anesthetic. During the operation, which lasted approximately 55 minutes, no additional medication was administered. At 1-hour postoperatively, the saturation values of the patient fell and she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for monitoring. She was tachycardic, restless, had seizure-like tremors, and her lips were mildly cyanotic. Saturation values did not increase despite the administration of 100% oxygen. High methemoglobinemia levels (12.6%) were determined, so 2 mg/kg oral methylene blue was administered and improvement was seen within 2 hours. Discussion / conclusion: The symptoms in patients with acquired methemoglobinemia are the result of an acute impairment in oxygen delivery to tissues, which does not allow sufficient time for compensatory mechanisms to function. Acute acquired methemoglobinemia should be considered in patients who have been administered local anesthetic and show signs of cyanosis.


In this paper, we deal with the non-linear integro-differential equation in which we proposed a quadrature method in order to find an approximate solution. We provide an error analysis and we conclude by giving the algorithm.


In practical distributed storage systems, the sub-packetization level of MDS codes is required as small as possible. In the literature, by sacrificing the optimality of the repair bandwidth, some constructions of MDS codes with small sub-packetization level were presented in the work of Rawat et al. (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 64(10), 6506–6525, Oct. 2018) and Li et al. (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 67(4), 2162–2180, Apr. 2021). However, the sub-packetization level of those constructions given in the two works are the power of the number of the parity nodes, which is still relatively large for the practical systems. In this paper, we construct an MDS code over a small finite field, whose sub-packetization level can be the power of a positive integer $s$, where $s$ is less than the number of the parity nodes.


There is an ongoing extensive debate, virtually touching each jurisdiction, regarding the levy of taxes on digital services. Each country, especially the Source countries which have an extensive consumer base of digital services, is grappling with the increasing pressure to tax such services provided by Non-Resident service providers. While the international community continues to debate and seeks a solution, those countries which have concluded that they cannot wait any further have attempted their own legislations seeking to tax revenue emanating from such services. For illustration, India has enacted the Equalisation Levy in 2016 which was substantially expanded in 2020.

This article seeks to propose and build a case for a new treaty provision to tax digital services. Out of the various applicable, three principal reasons which drive this inquiry are noteworthy. First, a treaty provision avoids unilateralism. The international tax space has evolved over a period of decades and in a manner such that there is incremental addition, basis extensive debates and attempts, to chalk-out the path by near consensus. The second reason is that a conscious and planned tax policy choice is needed instead of ad hoc measures and knee-jerk reactions. If indeed the inability to tax digital services is an issue which resonates across the countries, would it not be expedient to instead address it in a manner that the response is shared, long-term and consistent and that too in a rule-based framework? The third reason for this approach is that treaty provisions do not just address revenue entitlement claims of the countries but also balance taxpayers' rights by inter alia providing for credit and stipulating maximum tax liability etc., thereby balancing inter se equities between the States and sovereignty issues. Thus, there is an increased reason for taxpayers to comply and be governed by the legal framework instead of seeking to implement tax-opportunistic maneuverers.

It is not unprecedented to have specific treaty provisions for identified services. For example, the provision relating to income arising from international shipping and air transportation services has existed in the treaties for long. This is despite the fact that there exists a generic provision to tax on income from services. As another precedent, India has now for decades advocated and insisted for a provision relating to tax income from specific services in the nature of 'technical services' over which there is growing international chorus. Thus, a specific provision in the tax treaties for taxing income from digital services is certainly possible and not unprecedented.

Certain developments on similar lines have taken place in view of a draft Article 12B being deliberated by the UN Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters . This provision is intended to address taxation of "[i]ncome from automated digital services arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State." The draft clarifies that "[t]he term 'income from automated digital services' as used in this Article means any payment in consideration for any service provided on the internet or an electronic network requiring minimal human involvement from the service provider. The term 'income from automated digital services' does not, however, include payments qualifying as 'fees for technical services' under Article 12A." The jury is still out on its scope and acceptability. Thus, there is still scope for experimentation, inter alia by way of refinement and seeking to enlarge the scope and extending its coverage to other classes of digital services. One such alternative is examined in this paper, which is inspired by a parallel network of provisions already in vogue in India's indirect tax laws.


Because of the uncertainty of runoff,the year generation schedule for hydropower enterprise has some certain risks,which might influence the economic benefits of hydropower.So it has become a major concern for hydropower enterprises to evaluate the risk and the profit of the year generation schedule,and built the compromised generation schedule to maximize the profits and minimize the risks incurred.In order to resolve this problem,a new model,which was based on runoff frequency and taken into account the risks,was developed for building optimal year generation schedule.The probability analysis and group decision making method were used in the process of evaluating the risk and profit of the year generation schedule,and the method for solving the problem was presented.At last an example was given to demonstrate the feasibility of the developed model and methods.

In this work we propose that the dipole antenna can be fed directly through the coaxial cable, without any balun, when used with a perfect electric conductor (PEC) reflector placed at quarter wavelength distance. This configuration leads to a high impedance between the coaxial cable outer metal shield at the dipole feed point and the ground plane which restricts the current to flow on the outer metal shield of the coaxial cable.


O ur Galaxy is a turbulent place for cosmic rays. Rather than zipping directly from their origin to wherever they finally deposit their energy, these charged particles—a mix of atomic nuclei, electrons, and positrons—are buffeted by interstellar magnetic fields. The effect of this turbulence on the cosmic-ray diffusion rate has previously been estimated by analyzing the gamma-ray "halos" detected around two pulsars. Now, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) in China has spotted such a halo around a third pulsar [1]. An analysis of this halo's properties suggests that cosmic rays propagate particularly slowly near these stellar remnants.


The aim of the study was to explore whether learning curves on a virtual‐reality (VR) sonographic simulator can be used to predict subsequent learning curves on a physical mannequin and learning curves during clinical training.


A Raman spectral study is reported for a polydiacetylene crystal with substituent group (CH2)4OCONHC6H5. At low temperatures (<100 K) or high pressures (≳1.5 kbar) a phase change occurs accompanied by changes in the electronic structure of the polymer backbone. The Raman evidence suggests that the high temperature phase is best described with a butatriene bonding sequence [‐RC=C=C=CR‐n] while the low temperature (or high pressure) phase is best described with an acetylene bonding sequence [‐RC–C≡C–CR‐n].


This paper aims the cluster control of acoustic potential energy in a structural/acoustic cavity. The cavity consists of five rigid walls and one flexible panel with clamped boundary conditions on all four edges. It is desired to suppress the acoustic noise within the cavity, produced by a disturbing force or plane wave. In order to perform noise suppression, both acoustic and structural actuators can be used, while only acoustic sensors are necessary for measurement. Cluster control approach classifies acoustic and structural modes such that they interfere if and only if they belong to the same cluster. Providing methods to actuate and measure each of these clusters individually, cluster control enables us to implement a multi-SISO system as opposed to a MIMO system, which can significantly reduce computational load on the controller. This paper also investigates the optimal placement of sensors and actuators for further noise suppression. It is shown that optimization is critically important when cluster control method is used. Optimal placement of sensors and actuators helps to improve the noise suppression, without increasing the cost of control system equipments. In order to locate the optimum positions, the genetic algorithm (GA) is employed. The effect of optimization on acoustic potential energy suppression is discussed using numerical simulations.Copyright © 2010 by ASME

The Souls of Black Folk is a pedagogical text that echoes continental philosophy's aim of preparing humankind for the genuine practice of philosophical life through critique. In this text, Du Bois uses pedagogy to expose destructive and oppressive aspects of the Western tradition in its conflicting ideas and practices. In particular, I read Du Bois's "afterthought" in Souls of Black Folk as a form of critique that is expressly pedagogical, in that it prepares black individuals to play their destined role in this new era of history, and it calls for a continuous rethinking of the politics of higher education. While describing his early academic, political, and intellectual journey, Du Bois alludes to his initial and persistent concern with the impact of education on the formation of black men's civil subjectivity. According to Du Bois, "My problem then was how, into the inevitable and logical democracy which was spreading over the world, could black folk in America and particularly in the South be openly and effectively admitted; and the colored people of the world allowed their self-government?" (Du Bois [1940] 1983, 29). For Du Bois such a question has sufficient political and social force to de-center the truths produced by the Western tradition as well as the precepts determining individuals' subjectivity and self-government. Self-governance underlies Du Bois's pedagogical and political projects as it is responsible for transforming black individuals' self-perception and their relation to society. Du Bois approaches autonomy and self-governance pedagogically, by awakening individuals' capacities for them by means of critique, through


Graphene is a promising material for its exceptional electrical and mechanical properties. Starting with the initial demonstration of isolating a single graphene sheet from graphite, much progress has been made in realizing graphene based devices for diverse applications. Here, we introduce an experiment in which the electrical properties of graphene are modified by coating different-sequence single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) molecules. We fabricated a graphene-field effect transistor (FET) by transferring CVD graphene on copper foil onto a Si/SiO2 wafer. A passivation layer opened up windows on the surface of the graphene to enable interaction with liquid buffers. ssDNA molecules with different base sequences were coated onto the active graphene channels. We observed a variation in the Dirac voltage of the ssDNA-coated graphene FETs according to the ssDNA base sequences. Electrical control of the graphene FET is obtained via gating effect of the deposited ssDNAs. We conduct a systematic study of this ssDNAinduced gating effect with different base sequences, concentrations, and lengths of molecules, leading to extraction of characteristic parameters of the graphene FET accordingly.


From the quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiment, dynamic structure factors, S(Q, E) were obtained at both 1000°C and 1500°C. To understand the distribution of the dynamic structure factor as a scattering low, the half-width at half-maximum (HWHM) of dynamic structure factor was determined. It is clear that the Q dependence for HWHM of S(Q, E) does not fulfil the rigorous definition on the condition of the phenomenon called the de Gennes narrowing. From the Fourier transform, the intermediate scattering function, F(Q, t), is obtained. From the result of F(Q, t), it is clear that the relaxation process of liquid germanium is different from that of simple liquid.

Lake Toba National Tourism Strategic Area (NTSA) requires tourism relevant road and bridge to support tourism. For this reason, the road segment for Tele - Pangururan - Nainggolan - Onan Runggu - Lagundi - Tomok - Ambarita - Pangururan was implemented and plans to build the Tano Ponggol Bridge in Pangururan District, Samosir Regency as land access to Samosir Island. The government plans to replace the Tano Ponggol bridge as well as make it a landmark for Pangururan Tourism City. The local wisdom approach to the bridge design is put on the concept of kinship which is owned by all ethnic groups around the Lake Toba area. The principles of the kinship concept in Batak culture are: Dalihan Na Tolu: elek marboru, somba marhula hula, and manat mardongan tubu. These three principles are manifested in the design of a three-legged bridge. The results of the multi-criteria analysis show that the greatest value in alternative 3, namely replacing the main pilon bridge and cable stayed bridge using a concrete box structure 47.5+95+47.5 m (the erection balance cantilever method), the architectural aesthetic concept "Dalihan Na Tolu" with the construction of three symmetrical parallel pillars as bridge accessories, so that the purpose the bridge design which is also a landmark can still be achieved.


A network system within a vehicle and a control method thereof are provided to enable each sub electronic control units, connected through a network, to complement each other. A network system within a vehicle comprises the followings: the first actuator(31); at least one second actuator(32); at least one shared sensors(41,42) outputting a sensing value corresponding to a sensing result; the first sub electronic control unit(21) outputting the first sub sensing value; the second sub electronic control unit(22) outputting the second sub sensing value; and a main electronic control unit(10) which determines at least one of the first and second sub electronic control units, in case the difference between the first and second sub sensing values deviates from a preset error range.


I constructed a unique set of data from over 300 California law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with large-scale education microdata covering the high school outcomes of over 3.8 million California ninth-graders from the classes of 2003 to 2014 to examine the extent to which estimated effects of violence exposure, coupled with significant differences in violence exposure rates, contribute to population-level differences in educational attainment. I find that: (1) Gun-violence exposure rates are significantly related to mean dropout rates for Blacks and Hispanics, and are unrelated to mean dropout rates for Whites and Asians. (2) Gun-violence exposure effects on high school completion are not primarily mediated by learning losses (less than 25 percent of the effect), which suggests that gun-violence exposure related dropouts generally have the cognitive capability to excel beyond their realized levels of educational attainment. (3) Gun-violence exposure affects everyone. Blacks and Hispanics are most affected through elevated dropout rates. Exposure effects for Whites tend to manifest by way of higher intragroup variance in dropout rates. Both Whites and Asians are affected by lower levels of reading and math proficiency among high school graduates. (4) Estimates suggest that the Black-White (Hispanic-White) difference in gun-violence exposure levels is associated with 16 (19) percent of the Black-White (Hispanic-White) difference in California dropout rates over the last decade. Findings in this chapter provide clear evidence that negative effects of gun-violence have played a significant role in shaping state-level demographics.

Environmental scanning is a necessary component of the strategic management process. Several prior studies have examined aspects of purposeful information search behavior related to the business environment because it is deemed to be a necessary component of the formulation of business policy and strategy. This study used a sample of managers in the credit union industry to assess how the managers' information search behavior related to various environmental sectors was affected by their perceived rate of change in those sectors. The study measured the managers' use of five different types of information sources related to each of six environmental sectors. The five types of information sources included internal and external personal and written sources and the use of the Internet in their environmental scanning behavior. The six sectors were equally divided between the task and general environments. The hypothesized positive relationship between perceived sector importance and search behavior, measured by the frequency of information source usage, was supported for sectors related to the general environment, but not for sectors related to the task environment.


This short inquiry is the abstract of the paper "Strauss's Farabi". It considers a contentious comparison between the Farabi's political view and the Strauss's one. At one part, it shows that how Strauss skillfully diverged from Farabi's path, although common sense has always been emphasized on their homogeneity. At the other part, it shows the other possible interpretation of Farabi's works out of Strauss authority. For this purpose, and because of the wide range of works from both thinkers, I will consider Farabi's "The philosophy of Plato" and Strauss' "Farabi's Plato". These two works are already linked together with a view to the context of this article. It must be discussed and analyze that how and why Strauss took such an interpretation from Farabi's works in the Farabi's Plato. And whether he was fair in this respect?

Mineral assemblages within metabasites from the paratectonic Caledonides of Wales show that the grade of metamorphism was predominantly within the prehnite-pumpellyite facies, although green-schist fades assemblages occur in the more central parts of the region. General agreement with this pattern of metamorphism is seen in recent studies of illite crystallinity and conodont colour. Comparison with other regions suggests that all of the paratectonic Caledonides of the British Isles has suffered a low-grade of regional metamorphism during late Caledonian times.


The sample used to study the galaxy group membership is described. It contains 23490 galaxies with weighted mean distance moduli derived from both radial velocity through the Hubble law (H 0 = 75 km s −1 Mpc −1 ) and distance criteria (Maximum velocity rotation and Luminosity Index). This sample is complete up to the limiting apparent magnitude B = 14.0


Detecting moving objects is a very important aspect of driver assistance systems (DAS). This paper handles this issue by using a vision based system mounted within the vehicle. The pipeline for both a stereoscopic and monocular approach are covered. Both approaches use image sequences and compare moving feature points over time. This sparse information is then segmented using the optimal graph-cut algorithm, by also incorporating the grey-scale images. This paper then evaluates and contrasts the two approaches to identify the accuracy and robustness of each approach. The two methods both work in real-time on normal PC hardware (Quad Core CPU).


The purpose of this study is to evaluate the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of mortar samples that use alkali-activate ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) or GGBS+ fly ash as binder. The binder was activated using alkaline solution consisting of combination of Na2SiO3 and NaOH. One set of mortar samples was cured by exposure to normal air at a temperature of 22±2 0C and 70% RH, and another set was cured under 10% sulfuric acid solution, in order to quantity its effect on compressive strength development. Water-cured mortar samples exhibited higher compressive strength at the age of 28-days in contrast with air-cured samples. The highest compressive strength at the age of 28-day was developed by mortar samples with binders consisting of GGBS: fly ash ratio of 3:1, compared to binders with equal amounts of fly ash and GGBS, as well GGBS as sole binder. This was consistent for NaOH concentration of 10M, 12M, and 14M. A 2nd degree polynomial was found to strongly correlate splitting tensile strength to 28-day compressive strength of air-cured mortar samples. The correlation weakens with the addition of 25% fly ash, and diminishes when fly ash is 50% of the binder content.


Amavata is an amapradoshajavatavyadhi in whichagnimandya is the root cause. This can be closely correlated to Rheumatoid arthritis, which is a chronic immuno-inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology, marked by symmetric polyarthritis. This study was carried out to find the extent of upashayaatmakatha of pippalichurna in clinically diagnosed cases of Amavata and to observe the values of ESR (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate),CRP(C-reactive protein) and RF(Rheumatoid factor). In this study 30 patients, clinically diagnosed with Amavata was selected and administered 3gm pippalichurna with warm water before food twice a day for 7 days. The observations of the study indicated that upashayatmakatwa of pippalichurna shows significant levels of relief and therefore, it can be considered as confirmatory diagnostic tool and ESR, RF and CRP can be considered as supportive diagnostic tools for amavata.


Let be the open unit disk of the complex plane; its boundary, the unit circle of the complex plane, is denoted by . Let denote the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most with complex coefficients. For , let The class is often called the collection of all (complex) unimodular polynomials of degree . Given a sequence of positive numbers tending to , we say that a sequence of polynomials is -ultraflat if Although we do not know, in general, whether or not -ultraflat sequences of polynomials exist for each fixed 0$?>, we make an effort to prove various interesting properties of them. These allow us to conclude that there are no sequences of either conjugate, or plain, or skew reciprocal unimodular polynomials such that with is a -ultraflat sequence of polynomials.

It is now generally recognized that inversion of T waves such as is met with in coronary disease can occur in a number of other conditions also, for example, in myocardial disease due to toxaemia or hypertension, from large doses of digitalis, from the physiological effects of taking cold drinks, as a result of the position of the heart, and even from changes of posture especially in persons of the neuro-circulatory asthenic type. Attention has, however, only recently been given in the literature to the fact that electrocardiographic features simulating serious coronary disease may in certain cases occur as a transient feature after paroxysmal tachycardia. The condition, furthermore, is of more than mere academic importance, since if not recognized, an erroneous diagnosis of coronary disease may easily be made especially if the attack of paroxysmal tachycardia passes unnoticed or is thought to have been an acute coronary lesion. Either these changes after paroxysmal tachycardia are very rare or it would seem possible that cardiologists have been familiar with their occurrence but have not recorded them. White et al. (1941) in a review of various conditions other than organic disease causing inversion of the T Wvave in lead II makes no mention of paroxysmal tachycardia, and in a search of British and American papers only eighteen previous cases appear to have been described. Graybiel and White (1934) reported two cases of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia in young robust adults, one followed by inverted T I and the other by inverted T II and T III; there was no sign of organic disease, and there was a gradual return to a normal cardiogram. Campbell and Elliott (1939) described two cases of paroxysmal tachycardia, one being ventricular, that gave transient changes simulating coronary thrombosis: one of these gave a history of diphtheria, and the other was of long standing and had been suffering from increasing dyspncea during the intervals between attacks; both died at a later date. Though these two cases differ in their organic nature from the other cases described and from the present one, which except for the electrocardiographic abnormality seemed normal in: other respects, Campbell and Elliott nevertheless laid stress on the transient nature of the cardiographic changes following the tachycardia. Cossio, Sabathie, and Berconsky (1941) described four cases, and Campbell (1942) a further three cases that were clinically benign. Currie (1942) described a further case probably of ventricular origin in a girl aged thirteen, followed by inversion ofT waves, and a return to a normal cardiogram in one month. Dubbs and Parmet (1942) added a further case, Geiger (1943) one case, Zimmerman (1944) three cases, and Ward (1946) one case. The present case was one of paroxysmal auricular tachycardia and was clinically benign.

The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) has been operating for 12 years as a performance based rating system for the energy/greenhouse efficiency of office buildings in Australia. During this period, the scheme has been expanded to include performance based energy and water ratings for offices, hotels and shopping centres, plus performance based rating tools for office indoor environment and waste. NABERS has achieved significant success in transforming the energy efficiency of the office building stock, particularly with respect to the landlord operated services in the higher-quality end of the market. NABERS ratings have become established as a core valuation in the market for sale or lease of these buildings. The declaration of NABERS ratings has recently become mandatory for commercial sale and lease transactions over 2000m2. In this paper, the history of the NABERS scheme is outlined, with particular emphasis on the key lessons learnt and the underlying factors that have contributed to successes and failures along the way. Directions for future development are also discussed.
