Any Consideration of the interpretation and display of heritage sites demands reflection on three critical questions:* How should we experience a place, especially one that is fragmented, accreted, and possibly illegible?* How does intervention affect what we see, what we feel, and what we know?* How can display promote effective and active dialog about the past across space and time?All conservation is a critical act that results in the conscious production of "heritage." As an activity of mediation between the past and the present, conservation is ultimately responsible for what the viewer sees, experiences, and can know about the past and its relationship to the present. Much contemporary practice is concerned with finding an acceptable balance between protecting the many values that characterize places of historical and cultural significance, not the least of which involves the complexities of change to the tangible and intangible aspects that uniquely define all heritage. Such questions have been fundamental to classical conservation theory and practice concerned with interventions in the life of a building or place regardless of age. The tension inherent in this dialectic defines the very nature of conservation as the push and pull between the emotional and humanistic on the one hand, and the rational and scientific on the other (Fig. 1). James Marston Fitch attempted to explain and guide such intervention policies through a triadic model (Fig. 2) based on three tangible aspects of heritage:1. The "present physiognomy" of the building/site, that is the accumulated physical evidence including age, what Ruskin called "voicefulness";2. the "architectonic or aesthetic integrity" of the building/site in purely formal terms or the original artistic aesthetic intent, what Viollet-le-Duc termed "stylistic unity";3. the "phylogeny and morphogenetic development of the artifact across time" or the development of type and structure, each work being unique and individual unto itself, a concept associated with Cesare Brandi's "potential unity" and related to Gestalt philosophy.More recently, intangible aspects of heritage places have joined the list in the name of a more evenly represented values-based approach that has gone far in attempting to give heritage greater visibility and meaning to a larger audience.1At least since the late eighteenth century in Europe, sites of national historical importance have been maintained, repaired, and interpreted in a manner distinct from their ordinary everyday counterparts. Whether preserved or restored according to the prevailing principles of their time and place, heritage sites were viewed as exceptions to the rules of normal building maintenance and repair and practical alterations. Take for example the extreme case of ruins. Preservation and display as an integral part of their intervention began in the eighteenth century with the belief in and contemplation of nature and the solace that could be derived from a ruin. There was no question of preservation in the Romantic or Picturesque attitude toward a ruin.2 The ruin was there to stimulate the visitor, the effect sometimes enhanced by selective destruction and cultivated vegetation. The pleasure to be derived was one of reconstruction in the mind's eye of the ancient place in its original state; the better one understood the ruin, the better the imaginative reconstruction.It was in the late nineteenth century that the first formal attempts to both excavate and display in a scientific manner were attempted at excavations such as Assos (Turkey), Knossos (Crete), and Casa Grande (Arizona). Like other heritage sites, the conservation of ruins requires the removal or mitigation of deterioration; however, the very nature of their fragmented disposition also determines and affects their meaning and character. This has a direct and powerful effect on visual legibility and indirectly conditions our perceptions and notions of authenticity. …


Objective To explore the changes of blood coagulation function and clinical significances in type B aortic dissection(AD).Methods 99 patients with type B aortic dissection group,95 persons in healthy control group were selected respectively(NC) and the detection and analysis of international normalized ratio(INR),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT),fibrinogen(Fib) and D-dimer(D-D) were conducted.Results INR,APTT,FIB,DD in AD group significiantly increased compared with NC group,TT decreased respectively(P0.01).Subact and chronic aortic dissection showed a significant increase in INR,Fib,compared with acute group.Conclusion AD is characterized by activation of both coagulation and fibrinolysis,resulting in an imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis leading to a hypercoagulation state.


Real pets function as companions in human life and most owners believe that pets are family members or friends. However, real pets have problems of cleaning, care, nurturing space constraints, and other issues while the artificial companion, which has real pet function and can be substituted for real pets. The purpose of the study is to find out the design direction, understand the technical and functional changes of artificial companions, as well as the needs of users. The study analyzes the evolution of artificial companions from relevant literature, STS studies, and Need-hierarchy theory, and then infers the developmental trends to help designers develop new products. Finally, the evolution process is divided into five phases: Real interaction → Imagine driving → Mimicry of reality → Multiple activity → Intellectual interaction. The study also concludes that the developmental trends of artificial companions point towards the online virtual pet, and the online virtual pet will emphasize the self-expression and the social interaction on the Internet.


Quality of raw water from surface water sources varies seasonally. Generally it is more turbid and contaminated with bacteria in rainy season. Groundwaters from limestone aquifers in the southern part of the valley are good in quality but waters from other well fields contain iron, manganese and ammonia in high concentration. Shallow well waters contain coliform bacteria in significant numbers. At present five treatment plants, seven main service reservoirs with chlorination facilities and some booster stations for chlorination at the network are in operation. Generally the water at the outlet of treatment plants are potable but some times the quality deteriorates very much when it reaches consumers tap. This is mainly due to suction of contaminants through the leakage points into the water supply pipes during the suspension of water supply (intermittent supply). Improvement in microbiological quality control is of urgent necessity in order to check the frequent outbreaks of water-borne diseases.


The effect of dietary replacement of maize with cassava root meal (CRM) on production performance, egg quality and serum biochemical parameters were studied in Vanaraja laying hens. Eighty four, 38weeks old Vanaraja laying hens were randomly distributed into 3 dietary treatment groups of 24 hens each and were reared in deep litter system. Each treatment contained 4 replicates of 7 hens each. Three experimental diets were formulated by using CRM to replace maize at 0 (T1), 50 (T2) and 100% (T3) levels. A measured quantity of each diet was offered to one of the treatment group during the experimental period of 38 to 46 weeks of age. Dietary incorporation of CRM substituting maize upto 100% in the diet of Vanaraja laying hens had no adverse affect on body weight gain, egg production, egg weight, egg mass and feed efficiency. Similarly, none of the egg quality parameters such as albumen %, Yolk %, eggshell weight, Haugh unit, eggshell thickness were influenced due to 100% dietary replacement of maize with CRM. The serum biochemical parameters like total protein, albumin, globulin, uric acid, phosphorus and total cholesterol were not influenced due to complete replacement of dietary maize with CRM in Vanaraja laying hens. However, serum triglycerides concentration decreased significantly due to 100% replacement of dietary maize with CRM. The serum calcium concentration also increased significantly due to dietary incorporation of CRM in the laying hens. It is concluded that maize can be completely replaced with cassava root meal without adversely affecting production performance in Vanaraja laying hens.


The Journal of Cranio the mother of inventi '' N ecessity is on'' is a proverb with roots attributed to Plato. Indeed, this has held true particularly in the world of medicine where lowresource settings have driven and motivated innovations that have transcended. For instance, in 1984, a second year surgical resident in the poorest area of Bogota, Colombia was assisting a complex laparotomy case. The abdominal infection was impeding the closure, so he suggested temporarily closing the open abdomen by suturing a 3-L urologic irrigation bag to the edges of the wound until the abdomen could be formally closed at a later time. The technique was successful and it is known today as the ''Bogota Bag.'' Now jump to rural India, where in 2013 surgeons validated the use of a low-density polyethylene mosquito net for hernia repair. Finally, in the 1950s, when a Polish surgical resident training in an industrial town in Kurgan, Serbia constructed the first fracture external fixator from gaskets cut from old tanks and wires, that were actually bicycle spokes drilled through the bone. Each of these different accomplishments share the common threads of taking an existing need and innovating to solve a clinical problem. Low resource settings are often similar in terms of having a large backlog of existing clinical need. Therefore, it should be no surprize that this ''need'' fuels the desire to help patients and that it will continue to drive what has been termed reverse innovation. This process is defined as the spreading of an inexpensive and successful innovation from a resource-constrained country to an industrialized nation. This concept is common in the global health literature when authors describe transferrable lessons from lowincome countries' insights to wealthier nations. In agreement with Cotton et al, the term reverse is patronizing, implying that the natural flow of ideas is unidirectional (from highto low-income countries), and diminishing the significance of these accomplishments. The authors believe that the flow of knowledge and innovation between nations has always been bidirectional. Therefore, the word shared should be used in place of reverse, making the terms shared innovation and shared education more accurate reflections of this mutual process.

Objective To observe the effect of hepatocyte growth factor on preserving isolated heart of rats. Methods Forty rats were random divided into two groups: Control group(n=20)which rat hearts were isolated and preserved in 4℃HTK solution, and experimental group(n=20)which rat hearts were isolated and preserved in 4℃ HTK+rh-HGF(100μg/L)solution. Before operation and rat hearts were subjected to 8 hours(groupA,C)or 12 hours(group B,D)hypothermic storage followed by 5 minutes of normothermic reperfusion onmodified Langendorff-Neely model. The recovery rate of cardiac function after myocardial preservation, such as LVSP and LVDP and±dp/dt max and the changes of CK,LDH,NO and ET were measured. Cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining and the expression of c-met was analyzed by immunohistochemical method. The expression change of bcl-2 mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. Results Compared with control group, experimental group showed that a significantly higher recovery rate of LVSP,LVDP and±dp/dt max(P<0.01) and lower rate of TUNEL positive cardiomyocytes(P<0.01) after reperfusion. The leakage of CK and LDH was significant lower than that of control group(P<0.01). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that c-met receptor expression was stronger in the HGF-treated myocardium than that in the non HGF-treated myocardium after storage, and this was associated with a stronger expression of bcl-2 mRNA. Conclusion The administration of rh-HGF before storage improved cardiac function after prolonged myocardial preservation by preventing apoptosis and enhancing expression of bcl-2 mRNA. Thus, the addition of rh-HGF in the storage solution may be a promising strategy for prolonged heart graft preservation.

Cytoplasmic paracrystalline structures were observed in the hepatic parenchymal cells from a chronic alcoholic and non‐alcoholic patients. The structure consisted of parallel filaments 8 to 10 m/< thick and 15 m/< apart crossing each other at an approximate angle of 60o and forming lattice‐like structure. Such non‐membrane bound paracrystalline was mainly located near the nucleus and was estimated to correspond to the masses positively stained with PAS reaction. It may be probable that the cytoplasmic paracrystalline is a newly synthesized product or a stored substance.


take. My first suggestion is: "There can be a continuation of the two types of research presented in this volume, namely studies of small groups and of specific cultural patterns that appear to characterize the region as a whole." While acknowledging that these studies would be "sharply limited," I state, "they would be nonetheless valuable in increasing knowledge about the regional subculture." I then say, "However large the society being studied, there is always social interaction in small groups reflecting patterns of the society," and, quoting Frankenberg (1966:149) with approval, state, "paradoxically, 'only the most intensive studies of very limited areas of social life will make the most extensive comparative work possible.' " Clearly, I do not say these papers are in any sense "inappropriate approaches." On the contrary, I state they are quite appropriate and valuable. After all, I spent more than two years collecting, selecting, editing, and corresponding about them, and I use them in introductory courses each semester with enthusiastic response, a number of students having been inspired to carry out similar research studies. What I suggest next (and this is apparently where the reviewer was misled) is: "Another approach is to have teams of anthropologists use entire communities as the object of research." It is the reviewer, not I, who uses the term "better approach." I contend that the approaches are different and that both are valuable, although obviously teams of anthropologists studying entire communities can carry out what I call "base-line, time-interval, and theory-testing studies" more effectively than can the single participant-observer studying a much more limited cultural system. Incidentally, the reviewer claims I did not define community. The definition is there, quoted from Arensberg (1954:120). In his final paragraph, the reviewer raises a controversial issue when he states, "The contributing anthropologists were either unable or unwilling to give up their participantobservation methodology." He suggests they might have used other techniques, such as survey research. My contention in the book is that participant-observation is essential for in vivo, holistic resear h, and that it can help anthropology make a needed contribution to the study of complex societies by viewing behavior patterns in context and in relationship to other patterns. Rather than giving up participant-observation, I prefer to see it made more effective in the study of complex societies.


Many universities use use questionnaires for course evaluations. Such questionnaires vary by type and analysis method. In questionnaires, free description components are recognized as an important method of obtaining a wide range of opinions. We propose two methods to evaluate free description comments. The first method is mutual evaluation between comments and words in relation to the comment. The second method uses Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). In addition, we use the free description comment evaluations and the evaluation of co-occurring word pairs based on comment evaluation.

A new principle of fabricating silver-halide-gelatin (SHG) reflection volume holograms is presented; this principle is based on forming a micropore structure corresponding to the interference grating initially recorded on silver-halide microcrystals. The primary stages of the process and the formation mechanism of the micropores in a photographic gelatin are investigated. The proposed principle is used to develop chemical photographic techniques for treating fine-grain photographic materials and to obtain high-efficiency SHG holograms in the red, green, and blue portions of the spectrum with properties similar to dichromated-gelatin holograms


In Reply.— Dr Zucker raises an interesting historical question. It is hard enough agreeing about the interpretation of a recent case; the task is harder in ascertaining the facts about a 2,500-year-old case. Working backward, one rapidly loses the trail of Pheidippides' sudden death. Surprisingly enough, a major source for this popular legend is Robert Browning's1magnificent poem. He flung down his shield Ran like fire once more: and the space twixt the fennel field And Athens was stubble again, a field which a fire runs through 'Til in he broke: "Rejoice we conquer!" Like wine through clay, Joy in his blood bursting his heart, he died—the bliss!2 For some reason, the theme of the hero's sudden death is prominent in many of Browning's other works. As a result, one wonders if the Pheidippides case reflects poetic license as opposed to historical/medical fact. The logical reference to check


Marle Hammond's Beyond Elegy: Classical Arabic Women's Poetry in Context examines Arabic women's poetry, describing the historical circumstances of its production and analyzing several significant poems within the canon. We applaud the way in which Hammond brings early Arabic women's poetry to life, even for non-specialists in the field. In the Preface, Hammond hopes that the reader "who is unfamiliar with women's Arabic poetic legacy will now become acquainted with it, that the reader who has dismissed the legacy as consequential will now reconsider it, and that the reader who has actively engaged with that legacy will now find further cause for engagement." We agree that Hammond's sophisticated contribution has allowed her to achieve this goal. The Journal of Middle East Women's Studies Book Award has been established by the Association for Middle East Women's Studies to recognize and promote excellence in the fields of Middle East women's or gender studies, broadly defined. It is given to an author whose work is judged to provide the year's most significant and potentially influential contribution to Middle East women's or gender studies. The deadline for 2013 Book Award nominations is May 1, 2012. For more information, visit www.jmews.org.

In this paper we proved the stability theorem of the clearance rate parameter of the simplest HIV dynamic model. The stability analysis of the clearance rate parameter leads to conclude the constancy of the parameter. We have also discussed the sensitivity of the parameter estimate to changes in the other parameters in the model.


We report the synthesis of single phase rare earth orthochromite CeCrO3 and its magnetic properties. A canted antiferromagnetic transition with thermal hysteresis at T = 260 K is observed, and a magnetic compensation (zero magnetization) near 133 K is attributed to the antiparallel coupling between Ce3+ and Cr3+ moments. At low temperature, field induced magnetization reversal starting from 43 K for H = 1.2 kOe reveals the spin flip driven by Zeeman energy between the net moments and the applied field. These findings may find potential uses in magnetic switching devices such as nonvolatile magnetic memory which facilitates two distinct states of magnetization.


Purpose: With the intention to compare and analyse the differences between how state-owned and private-owned banks deploy MCS to foster their innovation, and why they use MCS in particular manner. Methodology: This master thesis is a multiple case studies which are done through collecting and analyzing archival data and telephone interviews with personnel in four Chinese banks. Empirical foundation: The MCS-related data are accumulated from archival data and telephone interviews with personnel in four banks. These MCS-related data are separated into enabling and coercive control basing on their features, and compared their usage in different types of banks in supporting different kinds of innovations. Conclusions: The findings show that the gap between MCS between state-owned and private-owned banks is eliminated. What's more, the MCSs they deployed to support innovation no matter in state-owned banks or private-owned banks are combination of enabling and coercive controls. The differences between different portion of enabling and coercive controls are in line with their strategic innovation goals. However, the cultural differences between state-owned and private-owned banks which influence reward and compensation are still obvious. (Less)


Python, an open source language has been widely used in the field of data analysis in recent years, especially in the financial field. It can solve almost all financial and economic measurement problems. In the global financial market trading is one of the most important tasks. The stock market forecast is an act of trying to determine the future value of another financial instrument traded on a currency exchange.The thought is to observe how well the changes in stock prices of a company, the rises and falls are related with the information, actions taking place on a day to day basis. Technology has come to be an essential, irreplaceable asset in finance: it brings about innovation and accelerates the development helping to gain a competitive advantage, the rate and frequency of financial transactions, with large volumes of data has become the main enabler in technology for finance. Initial public offerings (IPOs) have been a prominent focus of academic and popular press attention, especially in recent years. The stock market is sensitive to the political and macroeconomic environment. Cryptocurrency prices are extremely volatile, the prices fluctuate often over short periods of times, one can observe exceptional gains in a new crypto with so much circulation of money, getting people to invest instantly in bulk. However, these two types of information are very complex and do not depend on each other. The financial market is an abstract concept in which financial assets such as stocks, bonds, and precious metal transactions occur between buyers and sellers. In the current state of the financial market, especially in the stock market and the cryptocurrency world, the prediction of the practice or price of stocks has made a very interesting issue to be investigated.


During the last decade Mobility Plans have been developed in many cities of the world. These studies evaluate the configuration of the current mobility status and develop some interventions in order to solve particular problems at a city scale, sometimes making use of legal instruments such as regulation. A Mobility Plan on a local scale intends to analyze and solve problems of a neighborhood (parish) that many times are not visible at a city scale. These kinds of studies are specially oriented to pedestrians, residents parking and the livable communities' concept. This article defines a comprehensive methodology of analysis to this kind of studies and applies it to a neighborhood in the city of Lisbon (borough of Graça). The problems identified and the solutions proposed in this article focus on the pedestrian circulation and their conflict with the car flow and the parked cars, the lack of resident parking (especially off-street parking), the insufficiency of public equipments for residents and the deficient land use mixture to promote a better livable borough. Some of the conclusions point to the importance of developing these kind of integrated analysis, not only for implementation and project development, but also as a powerful decision making tool that will grant an understanding and easy acceptance of local citizens.


The Federated Learning (FL) paradigm faces several challenges that limit its application in real-world environments. These challenges include the local models' architecture heterogeneity and the unavailability of distributed Internet of Things (IoT) nodes due to connectivity problems. These factors posit the question of "how can the available models fill the training gap of the unavailable models?". This question is referred to as the "Oblique Federated Learning" problem. This problem is encountered in the studied environment that includes distributed IoT nodes responsible for predicting CO2 concentrations. This paper proposes the Correlation-based FL (CorrFL) approach influenced by the representational learning field to address this problem. CorrFL projects the various model weights to a common latent space to address the model heterogeneity. Its loss function minimizes the reconstruction loss when models are absent and maximizes the correlation between the generated models. The latter factor is critical because of the intersection of the feature spaces of the IoT devices. CorrFL is evaluated on a realistic use case, involving the unavailability of one IoT device and heightened activity levels that reflect occupancy. The generated CorrFL models for the unavailable IoT device from the available ones trained on the new environment are compared against models trained on different use cases, referred to as the benchmark model. The evaluation criteria combine the mean absolute error (MAE) of predictions and the impact of the amount of exchanged data on the prediction performance improvement. Through a comprehensive experimental procedure, the CorrFL model outperformed the benchmark model in every criterion.


Structural changes induced by heat treatment of yttrium-aluminosilicate glasses doped with gadolinium were studied by thermal differential analysis, X-ray diffraction and Gd3+ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). A small amount of yttrium was replaced by gadolinium in the host glass because yttrium and gadolinium cations are quite similar, and gadolinium can be used as a structural sensor by electron paramagnetic resonance measurements. EPR results evidence small changes in the surroundings of Gd3+ ions in the heat treated samples, as compared with the as prepared ones.


In this paper some issues concerning the interpretation of urban gentrification in the context of debates about the relationship between production and consumption are examined. Two different types of gentrification are distinguished, one the work of the property developer, the other the outcome of the localised collective behaviour of households. Existing accounts of gentrification are criticised for their lack of explanatory value. It is argued that gentrification is unlikely to be founded in the distinctive behaviour of particular fractions of the middle class, because their cultural practices are weakly constrained. Rather it is the ways in which women adapt to new patterns of employment that provide the most plausible explanation of the origins of the process.


Carbon supported Pt(Pt/C) electrocatalysts were prepared with glucose as protection agent and NaBH 4 as reductant.The Pt nanoparticles deposited on carbon support presented reduced size and well dispersity attributed to the protection effect of glucose.Glucose absorbed on the particle surface was readily removed by water washing without leading to agglomeration of the Pt nanoparticles.The as-prepared Pt/C electrocatalysts showed improved mass activity for methanol electrooxidation compared to the catalyst prepared without glucose protection.The improved performance is attributed to the larger electrochemical active surface area thus increased active sites on the Pt/C elctrocatalysts prepared under the protection of glucose.

ABSTRACT The challenges of 9/11 required a wide ranging response across all three of the broad divisions of EU policymaking competence: the economic and monetary union, common foreign and security policy and internal security. These policy divisions make up the 'three pillars' of the EU's political architecture. This article reviews general issues of accountability and human rights protection in the EU's policymaking and implementation process, the evolution of the EU's response to terrorism, and the general response to 9/11. It then considers, in detail, the implications of the various response measures adopted under each 'pillar'. The article demonstrates the emphasis that the Member States have placed on security measures and the wider concerns that their content and speed of adoption left little scope for other views to be heard. The article lays stress upon the fact that the effectiveness of the response measures are crucially dependent on the variable implementation capacity of the Member States. The article concludes by noting how the 2004 EU Constitution [Article I-42] requires Member States to '… act jointly in a spirit of solidarity if a Member State is a victim of a terrorist attack….'


Social media is a tool that brands can use to engage and influence consumers and potential customers. This is because social media provides an opportunity for brands to be able to participate and interact with consumers and potential customers while increasing a sense of familiarity and building relationships with consumers and potential customers. One of the social media applications that brands can use to interact and engage with their consumers is Instagram. Especially brands in the fashion industry, where brands in this industry are very dependent on the visual aspect. One of Indonesia's fashion brands with the most followers and interactions on Instagram is @UniqloIndonesia. This study was conducted to determine the factors that can affect the involvement on a brand's social media Instagram, such as brand familiarity and information quality. This study also aims to determine the effect of involvement on a brand's social media Instagram on attitudes towards a brand's social media Instagram and future purchase intentions. The data in this study were processed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study show that information quality has an effect on involvement on the brand's social media Instagram. Involvement in brand's social media instagram affects attitudes towards the brand's social media instagram. Attitudes towards Instagram' s social media brand have a direct effect on future purchase intentions and mediate the relationship between Instagram's involvement in brand's social media and future purchase intentions.


Stuart Hall, in his 1983 lectures states, "people have to have a language to speak about where they are and what other possible futures are available to them….These futures may not be real; if you try to concretize them immediately, you may find there is nothing there. But what is there, what is real, is the possibility of being someone else, of being in some other social space from the one in which you have already been placed." (Hall, 2016, p.205) The literature from Northeast India puts forward the issue of systematic erasure and structural exclusion [institutionalized through legal mechanisms like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act.] from the mainstream national imagination and literary space. Easterine Kire's primary agenda is to revitalize cultural practices that have been facing "historical elision." (Sarkar, 1997, p.359) This elision threatens the poly-ethnic, culturally vibrant, and tribal cultures by constructing and presenting the northeastern region of India as a conflict-ridden space. Situated within this ontology of existence, reality, and becoming, Easterine Kire's Don't Run, My Love (2017) and Sky is My Father: A Naga Village Remembered (2018) revive and revitalize the folktales and cultural practices to assert the cultural economy of the Naga tribes. Her writings represent a politically conscious positionality of the characters, context, and the plot to assert the culturally constituted identity through the revival of vibrant cultural practices and tribal epistemologies.


Penicillium italicum is an important pathogen that attacks citrus fruits. Traditionally, chemical fungicides are widely used for controlling fruit diseases, however environmental and health issues have lead to the research of safe alternatives. The efficacy of aqueous extracts from mesocarp (fibrous husk) and exocarp (outer layer) of coconut were evaluated against P. italicum development in terms of mycelial growth, sporulation and germination process. Mesocarp extracts were more efficient to control the mycelial development (82%) compared to exocarp extracts (77%). The sporulation was significantly reduced with the application of extracts from mesocarp (94%) and exocarp (93%) compared to the control treatments. The germination process was strongly affected by the application extracts. Thus, the use of these extracts could be a suitable alternative to inhibit P. italicum in citrus fruit, besides the use of these residues as a source of antifungal compounds could reduce coconut residues accumulation in the environment.


We analyse particular two-photon processes as possible means to explore electronic quadrupole states in free small deformed atomic clusters. The analysis is done in the time-dependent local density approximation (TDLDA). It is shown that direct two-photon population (DTP) and off-resonant stimulated Raman (ORSR) scattering can be effectively used for excitation of the quadrupole states in high-frequency (quadrupole plasmon) and low-frequency (infrared) regions, respectively. In ORSR, isolated dipole particle–hole states as well as the tail of the dipole plasmon can serve as an intermediate state. A simultaneous study of low- and high-frequency quadrupoles, combining DTP and ORSR, is most effective. Femtosecond pulses with intensities I = 2 × 1010 to 2 × 1011 W cm−2 and pulse durations T = 200–500 fs are found to be optimal. Since the low-lying quadrupole states are dominated by one single electron–hole pair, their energies, being combined with the photoelectron data for hole states, allow us to get the electron spectrum above the Fermi level and thus greatly extend our knowledge on the single-particle spectra of clusters. Besides, the developed schemes allow us to estimate the lifetime of the quadrupole states.


Based on the practices of a water-retaining power station in Sichuan Province,a three-dimensional finite element model was established for the powerhouse integrity including the main and auxiliary powerhouses.The free vibration characteristics and the possibility of resonance of the powerhouse integrity under various connection patterns between the main and auxiliary powerhouses were studied.The spectral analysis was employed to analyze the seismic characteristics of the model.The influences of various connection patterns between the main and auxiliary powerhouses on the seismic responses of the main components of the powerhouses (especially the auxiliary powerhouse) were investigated.A rational scheme for the connection was proposed,and it would provide scientific basis for the seismic design of the water-retaining power station.


Pruning as an important agronomic operation plays a crucial role in the regulation of tea plant growth, development and dry tea quality. The effects of different pruning operations on the plant growth, phytohormones and transcriptome profiles of the following spring tea shoots were studied. Pruning-treated samples had generally increased median of the weight of 100 buds (two leaves and one bud, 15.5−20.5 g) and longer stem diameter (1.7−1.8 mm) whereas shorter shoot length (34.6−59.2 mm) at the stage of two leaves and one bud, compared with unpruned samples (14.0 g, 1.7 mm, 87.4 mm), among which heavy pruning in mid April and early May greatly accelerated the development of the following spring tea shoots. The levels of phytohormones (auxin, gibberellin 1, gibberellin 3, and trans -zeatin) were significantly increased in the spring buds of tea plants heavily pruned in May. The KEGG result indicated that the pathways of plant–pathogen interaction, plant hormone signal transduction and circadian rhythm were regulated by different pruning treatments. Heavy pruning in April or May, without autumn pruning was suitable for producing premium green tea due to the early development and the higher weight of 100 buds. This study provides scientific guidance to regulate the growth of the following spring tea shoots using plant pruning

Micaceous clays ("illites") of a number of sediments, subjected to quantitative mineral-ogical analysis, ranged in different samples from 58 to 65% of a dioctahedral mica of muscovite type, from 3 to 8% vermiculite, from 0 to 10% montmorillonite, from 2 to 12% quartz, from 0 to 4% feldspars, from 1 to 2% rutile and anatase, from 0.3 to 1.2% free iron oxides, and from 16 to 30% chlorite. The soil clays contained less mica (13 to 35%) but more vermiculite (13 to 16%), montmorillonite (6 to 14%) and chlorite (30 to 33%), besides kaolinite (3 to 8%) and amorphous material (6 to 15%). The presence of the various minerals was verified by X-ray diffraction. When the interlayer K of these micaceous clays was replaced by hydrated Na ions through treatment with 0.2 n sodium tetraphenylboron in 1 n NaCl, the analytically determined vermiculite and montmorillonite contents increased. The freshly produced vermiculites had an interlayer charge of 177 to 198 me/100 g. During this replacement of interlayer K in a 1 N salt solution, the pH of the equilibrium matrix solution was observed to increase instead of decreasing as would be expected if oxonium (ONz+) ions were associated with K in the interlayer space, thus precluding the possibility of interlayer ONz+. The calculated stoichiometric equivalent of the pH rise established a significant uptake of protons by the lattice as K was released.


Decision-making in the lean production model appears as a factor largely unexplored in the literature. The elements that compound the decision-making process appear marginally when discussing other factors such as just-in-time, partnerships with suppliers, product development and quality built into the process. The objective of this research is to explore how the decision process is presented in the model of lean production. It was developed deep interviews with three former executives of the first echelon and middle echelon of the Brazilian subsidiary of Toyota Motor. The interviewed were intentionally chosen and by chance. The results show a set of elements of the lean production model, name in the literature as problem solving processes, arranged in a proper disposition, here recognized as a metadecision, which structure in a peculiar way the decision process of the Toyota's model. The contribution of this article is to make explicit the structure of the metadecision of the lean production model.

A procedure for assigning applicants to colleges which removes all uncertainties and, assuming there are enough applicants, assigns to each college precisely its quota.


In order to characterize maniacal forms of suicide derived from manic-depressive psychoses, we are especially interested in the psychopathological case of Victor Tausk, whose main elements were presented in the impassioned debate between Paul Roazen (1969) and Kurt Eissler (1983) about the unique relationships established with Freud, as well as the relationship between him, Deutsch, and Tausk. We premise the present analysis by considering the analogy between Tausk's case and Nathan Weiss's suicide, an old friend of Freud's. Our thesis is that manic symptoms such as flight of ideas (and flight of actions) are dangerously oriented to suicide.


How do domestic workers live in our cities? By following them into their homes, this report reflects on issues of adequacy, affordability and viability of low-income rentals in Jaipur. It looks at employment and housing in conjunction, and defines housing as encompassing not just the physical structure of the house but access to amenities, social infrastructure and legal status. It introduces 'setup' as a unit of analysis to better understand the everyday reproduction of the domestic life of workers.


ments which have affected his life since his formative years. In this sense the Sadat memoirs contain substantial information if one is concerned with identifying the components of his basic character and personality—how he orients himself toward the world environment, toward the Arab-Israeli conflict, the great powers and the sweep of history itself. In Sadat's case one can identify and trace the modalities of interaction between his character and his evolving environment and point to certain patterns of behavior which are likely to repeat themselves in his dealings with both friends and adversaries. It follows that In Search of Identity is a veritable treasure chest for psycho-historians and elite theorists. However, two words of caution need be said before a serious psychological study is contemplated. First, memoirs constitute a good starting point and the need for additional data is a certainty. Second, the scholar must resist the temptation of blindly applying purely Western psychological constructs and paradigms to the study of a nonWestern personage. The use of Freudian methodology, for example, would almost certainly produce scientifically untenable results. Even Erik Erikson's seminal study of Gandhi is plagued to an extent by the problem of cultural relativism. What is needed is an eclectic theoretical framework which is not psychoculturally blind to peculiarly Egyptian traits of personality and environment.


in 4 hours. Urine screening techniques for urethritis in males include the detection of pyuria in the spun sediment from the first part of a void (ll-13,15) and dipstick leukocyte ee one study stated that male urethral specimens reported as negative or borderline by EIA had a low number of inclusions on cell culture (25). These authors questioned if this was secondary to low num


In order to study the variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm for the analysis of acoustic signal characteristics of underwater plasma sound source pulse discharge, a simulation model of central control module is established by using VMD algorithm. The whole hardware circuit takes the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip as the intelligent control center of the central control module, and combining with the minimum composed of basic power supply circuit, clock circuit, reset circuit and configuration circuit, the model is used to analyze the characteristics of acoustic signals. The results show that the uncertainties of these parameters also affect the performance of VMD. In VMD decomposition, the smaller the equilibrium constraint parameters are, the larger the bandwidth of each modal component is, the more likely the phenomenon of center frequency overlap and mode aliasing will occur. The larger the equilibrium constraint parameters are, the smaller the bandwidth of each component signal will be, and the phenomenon of center frequency overlap and mode aliasing will disappear. Through analysis, it is proposed that the general equilibrium constraint parameters can be taken as sampling frequency fs in practice. The acoustic signal of VMD applied to underwater plasma sound source pulse discharge is analyzed, and the results are as expected. It provides a theoretical basis and practical basis for its application in underwater plasma acoustic signal characteristics analysis. This is of great significance to the study of VMD as an underwater plasma source for the analysis of acoustic signal characteristics of pulse discharge.


We experimentally demonstrate efficient switching of the hard x-ray Bragg reflectivity of a SrRuO3/SrTiO3 superlattice by optical excitation of large-amplitude coherent acoustic superlattice phonons. The rocking curve changes drastically on a 1 ps timescale. The (0 0 116) reflection is almost extinguished (ΔR/R0=−0.91), while the (0 0 118) reflection increases by more than an order of magnitude (ΔR/R0=24.1). The change of the x-ray structure factor depends nonlinearly on the phonon amplitude, allowing manipulation of the x-ray response on a timescale considerably shorter than the phonon period. Numerical simulations for a superlattice with slightly changed geometry and realistic parameters predict a switching-contrast ratio ΔR/R0 of 700 with high reflectivity.


Background: Concerns about the effectiveness of condoms in preventing sexually transmitted diseases have been raised. Data are lacking on condom failure and its associated factors among sex workers in Southeast Asia. Goal: To assess factors associated with condom breakage and slippage. Study Design: A prospective study on condom breakage and slippage over a 1‐day period was conducted among 219 female brothel‐based sex workers in Singapore in 1997. Results: Condom breakage and slippage rates among 1,885 episodes of condom use were 1.2% (95% CI, 0.7‐1.8) and 2.1% (95% CI, 1.2‐3.0), respectively. After adjusting for intracluster effects and confounders, condom breakage and slippage were significantly associated with duration of sex work and spontaneity of clients to use condoms. Conclusion: Condom use among sex workers should be promoted in view of the low failure rates. Strategies to reduce condom breakage and slippage should be directed at sex workers with increased risk of condom failure.


The work then presents a qualitative investigation in which attempts to understand the behavior of some Latin American governments in relation to the issue of technological innovation and development strategy. This is in addition to the proposal as modern technology to promote development. According to theorists of the successful experience of developed countries could be replicated. It started from the premise that the technical processes which humanity is viewed from the origin of man himself and relate to the accumulation of human knowledge that they intend to solve a problem or doing something tangible or intangible, whereas emerging technology of modern discourse, as a contribution of European expansion, and its use has a background of capitalist development.

To investigate the band gap profile of Cu(In1−x,Gax)(Se1−ySy)2 of various compositions, we measured the band gap profile directly as a function of in-depth using high-resolution reflection energy loss spectroscopy (HR-REELS), which was compared with the band gap profile calculated based on the auger depth profile. The band gap profile is a double-graded band gap as a function of in-depth. The calculated band gap obtained from the auger depth profile seems to be larger than that by HR-REELS. Calculated band gaps are to measure the average band gap of the spatially different varying compositions with respect to considering its void fraction. But, the results obtained using HR-REELS are to be affected by the low band gap (i.e., out of void) rather than large one (i.e., near void). Our findings suggest an analytical method to directly determine the band gap profile as function of in-depth.


Rural middle and high schools are not doing enough to engage students in active mathematical learning, to provide extra support, to guide them in planning for higher-level mathematics courses, nor to create an environment of high expectations (Bottoms & Carpenter, 2000). We studied three beginning middle grades mathematics teachers working in eastern North Carolina's high-minority, high-poverty schools who are achieving high growth with students. These three lateral entry teachers entered the teaching profession later in life and resided in the communities where they worked. Teachers taught mathematics through real-world problem solving. This practice was deemed imperative as they developed positive relationships, demonstrated perseverance by providing extended and varied opportunities for learning, promoted high expectations, and attended quality professional development. They perceived the variables as positively impacting student growth and achievement on North Carolina's End of Grade Mathematics tests. Together, these findings provide insight into how three teachers are beating the odds in North Carolina's lowest-performing schools.

Most heat treat shops (Figure 1) will have at least two different styles of furnaces: high-temperature furnaces that are used for normalizing and austenitizing; and low-temperature furnaces for annealing, stress relief and tempering. In addition, they have one or more quenching systems. As previously discussed in this series of articles, the important process variables for these heat treatments are temperature, time, atmosphere and cooling rates. The importance of these process variables will be discussed in this article. High Temperature Furnaces Temperature control is critical for these furnaces. Temperature variation with time and within the furnace should be limited to ±10°F. The time variation is controlled by the furnace controller's response to thermocouple data. Typically there is a controlling thermocouple near a furnace wall. Depending on the depth of insertion and location relative to the heating elements or radiant tubes, the thermocouple reading may be higher or lower than the temperature of the load. Ideally, recording thermocouples should be included in the furnace load to accurately measure the actual temperature of the fasteners as a function of time and location in the furnace. In the real world, this is usually done only on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. Adjustments in loading density or racking/fixturing can be made to reduce variations. Temperature variations within the load should be minimized by atmosphere circulation and part loading. At high temperature the heat is transferred from the wall by radiation. Radiation is a line of sight process and the "view factor" should be maximized for each part. In addition, heat is also transferred from the atmosphere to the parts by convection. Therefore, uniform circulation around each part is necessary to minimize temperature variations. Within a part, the heat is transferred by conduction. If the parts are large, a significant temperature variation will develop within the part. For fasteners with large variations in cross section, this issue will be enhanced. The impact of this variation may be reduced by careful design of the heating schedule to increase the heat transfer to the parts by, for example, slowing of the furnace belt. Variations in


This paper shows the evaluation of piezpresistive property of a vanadium oxide (VOx) film. The VOx film is deposited and patterned as a piezoresistor on an edge of suspended silicon (Si) membrane. The VOx resistor, electrode pads connected to the resistor, and the suspended membrane structure are fabricated using conventional microfabrication techniques. The resistance of the VOx resistor changes as the membrane is deflected. The deflection of the membrane is caused by evacuating to each differential pressure (from −0.02 to −0.05 by −0.01 MPa), and measured using a white-light interferometer. The resistance decreases as the strain is increased. The gauge factor of the deposited VOx is 259, which value is higher than general semiconductor materials such as Si. The feasibility of VOx as a focusing material for MEMS/NEMS application (ex. strain gauge) is indicated by our experiment.


Objective: Review of the literature related to the identification of the menopausal symptoms and women' quality of life outcomes in order to provide various coping strategies to improve their midlife transition. Methodology: The Systematic electronic search for articles published without a time limit included online libraries of Ovid PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline with Full Text, UK Essays and Medscape articles discussing the study aim on menopausal symptoms. A total of 8 studies were identified which met the inclusion criteria. The categorization was done for the first author and year of article publishing, method and main results. Results: The results of these 8 studies reveal that there are significant ethnic differences in the total number and total severity of the physical, psychological, and psychosomatic symptoms. The presence of menopausal symptoms significantly reduces the quality of life, and with more severity, worsens the quality of life. Conclusion: The current review can help provide a clearer understanding of women's experiences at menopause. It is challenging healthcare professionals to appreciate the symptoms experienced by women during menopause in order to provide competent care.


The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of decentering and self-silencing in a relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and social anxiety. We predicted self-silencing would function as a mediator in this relationship, and that decentering would moderate this mediation effect. To investigate this aim, three hundred seven university students were surveyed. All variables showed statistically significant correlations, and there was no statistically significant difference in the moderating effect of decentering in the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and social anxiety. Conversely, this study showed that there was a significant difference in the moderating effect of decentering in the relationship between self-silencing and social anxiety. In addition, socially prescribed perfectionism affected social anxiety through self-silencing, and decentering moderated the mediating effect of self-silencing. Implications and potential follow-up studies are discussed.

The paper presents the results of wood charcoal analysis from Drakaina Cave, Kephalonia, Ionian Islands, Greece, for the Late
Neolithic and the Chalcolithic period. The site is located at the south-eastern part of the island in the Gorge of Poros. According to the wood
charcoal analysis, a rich environment would have existed in the gorge where evergreen and deciduous species as well as some conifers would
have grown. Phillyrea and both evergreen and deciduous oaks would have been the most abundant taxa. No significant changes occurred in
the vegetation of the area from the Late Neolithic to the Chalcolithic. Microenvironments existing in the gorge would have supported the
preservation of dynamic and rich ecosystems but the critical factor would have been the discontinuous, specialized use of the cave.


Metastatic malignant melanoma of the small bowel is a rare and aggressive disease, without specific symptoms. Due to that, most cases are diagnosed in advanced stages, presenting as an acute abdomen in situations of bowel obstruction or perforation. We present the case of a 56-year-old male who was admitted for generalized edema and developed an acute abdomen secondary to perforation of small bowel malignant melanoma metastasis, with lymph node invasion. Segmental bowel resection was performed with peritoneal lavage. The patient developed another metastasis perforation in the first postoperative week and was later transferred to a palliative care institution. Tumor perforation is a very rare presentation of small bowel metastatic melanoma, being a condition with a difficult diagnosis and poor outcome. Azevedo F, Canhoto C, Ruivo A, Martins M, Tralhão JG. Acute Abdomen due to Perforation of Small Bowel Malignant Melanoma Metastasis. Arch Med Case Rep. 2019; 1(1): 16-18. Arch Med Case Rep. 2019 Volume 1, Issue 1 17 In the fifth day of hospitalization, the patient presented with sudden generalized abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed diffuse abdominal pain with tenderness and rebound pain. Chest X-Ray showed pneumoperitoneum. Due to the patient's hemodynamic stability, he underwent an abdominal CT, which showed massive peritoneal effusion in all quadrants, pneumoperitoneum, diffuse parietal thickening of part of jejunum and ileum, with some air bubbles in this area (compatible with bowel perforation) and multiple nodes in the lesser sac and in the mesentery, the largest with 4 cm (Figure 1). Figure1: Abdomen CT showing free peritoneal fluid, bubbles of pneumoperitoneum, multiple lymph nodes in the retroperitoneum and thickening of the small bowel. An exploratory laparotomy was performed, revealing purulent peritoneal effusion (3.5 liters) and multiple pigmented exofitic lesions in the small bowel, two of them perforated. Multiple lymph nodes conglomerates were present in the mesentery. Segmental bowel resection was performed with anisoperistaltic mechanical anastomosis and peritoneal lavage (Figure 2). A multitubular drain was left in the pelvic space. In the third postoperative day, there was drainage of fecal content through the drain. The patient was taken to the operating room, where another perforated metastatic lesion was identified; the previous anastomosis did not have signs of leakage. Due to the impossibility of surgical resection or curative procedures and the bad prognostic outcome, a jejunostomy with a Pezzer catheter and peritoneal lavage were performed. On the fifth postoperative day, the patient was transferred to a palliative care institution, and died a week later. The histological exam confirmed the presence of small bowel metastatic malignant melanoma, and six of seven lymph nodes with metastasis.


This paper revisits the problem of an underpriced and overexploited groundwater resource. Like other renewable resources, an aquifer replenishes itself over time via recharge from rain percolation. Not only is the aquifer vulnerable to simple overdrafting, but recharge quantities are also determined by forest quality. Healthy multi-tiered forests hold more water in place to increase recharge than bare soil with a single canopied forest cover. Forest quality therefore affects water quantity, and decisions regarding forest conservation expenditures must incorporate this physical relationship, as well as the economic usage of the groundwater resource. In this paper, we provide an analytical framework for evaluating the groundwater benefits of watershed conservation when without such conservation damage to the watershed occurs and brings about partial recharge loss. We consider both the case of a certain and immediate loss and the case of a probable and future loss. We illustrate the framework for the case of the Pearl Harbor aquifer on Oahu where we estimate the benefits of both conservation and improved water management and contrast these with the benefits of efficiency pricing without conservation. 1 Dept. of Economics, Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA, 17325. 2 Dept. of Economics, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822.


A phase-locked-based frequency synthesizer – ubiquitously used to generate local oscillation in a communication transceiver – exhibits phase noise and jitter which considerably degrades bit-error rate (BER) and error vector magnitude (EVM) of a digital communication link. This paper presents an analytical study of EVM and BER degradation for a variety of widely used digital modulation schemes. Phase noise and jitter of a generic integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) as a local oscillator feeding an RF mixer are derived, while accounting for the reference spurs and cyclo-stationarity of the mixer operation as well as the additive noise of the communication link. This jitter model is then utilized to directly study its impact on digital modulation constellations. Specifically, the EVM and BER degradation due to the PLL jitter in communication systems incorporating M-ary phase-shift keying (M-PSK) and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${4^{M}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> quadrature amplitude modulation (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${4^{M}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>QAM) are analyzed. Comparison between analytical models and system-level simulations verifies an excellent accuracy of these models.

Seed bank (henceforth referred to as SB) refers to viable seed which is present on or in soil and associated with litter/humus. Under different land use/land cover systems and climatic regions, density of seeds in the soil is variable both in space and time. SB density decreases with increasing depth and age of seeds in the soil. Smaller seeds are more easily incorporated, moved to deeper soil layers and persist longer in the soil, whereas large sized seeds without hard seed coats lack persistence in the soil. Moreover, small and elongated seeds are more persistent than large and round seeds. In most vegetation types, grass and herbs have denser seeds in the soil than woody species. Due to shade intolerant properties, density of grasses and forbs are also higher in forest gaps and farmlands than under shade of trees. In most of vegetation types and under medium disturbances e.g. under grazing, density and diversity of species are higher than that of lower and higher disturbance intensities. Tillage practices also have negative impacts on density, composition and abundance of SB. Hence, seeds decline under conventional tillage than under conservational tillage practices. In several studies, seeds in the SB are not similar to above ground vegetation. Similarly, density and diversity of seeds in a SB exceeds that of standing vegetation. Persistence seeds in soil are essential in maintaining individual species and the plant community, conservation of genetic biodiversity and restoration of plant communities of degraded lands after disturbances under harsh environmental conditions, especially in arid regions. As a result, SB characteristics are used to elucidate seed dynamics in various vegetation types. Overall, scientific knowledge of SB is used for land use planning, to make recommendations for future cost effective measures and to establish policies for conservation or restoration programmes.

 Keywords: Seed bank (SB), dispersal, persistence, restoration, vegetation type.


Sir, In their article 'Swedish randomized controlled trial of cardiotocography only versus cardiotocography plus ST analysis of fetal ECG revisited: analysis of data according to standard versus modified intention-to-treat principle' (1) Isis Amer-Wåhlin et al. reported a reanalysis of their previous randomized controlled trial data published 10 years ago (2). In the original publication (2) the study population was reported to consist of 4966 enrolled and randomized cases, 2447 of which were assigned to the cardiotocography (CTG)-only group and 2519 to the CTG+ST analysis group (as shown in Figure 2 of the article). In their recent reanalysis, however, the study population consisted of 5049 randomized cases; 2484 in the CTG-only group and 2565 in the CTG+ST analysis group. Unfortunately, the authors did not provide any explanation why the study population increased by 83 cases. They also did not report the clinical characteristics of the enlarged study population. We have two further concerns regarding the outcome data of the 2011 article. First, the numbers of operative deliveries and fetal blood samples were not reported. Secondly, the neonatal outcome data were classified in five groups (A–E, Table 1) based on the availability and validity of acid-base data. In our opinion, only group A with valid umbilical cord artery and vein data is fully concordant with the initial primary outcome of the trial, i.e. the rate of umbilical-artery metabolic acidosis. Group E contains cases with no umbilical cord data but assumed metabolic acidosis based on neonatal blood samples or calculated according to expected rates of metabolic acidosis. Including such generated data in the reanalysis as shown in Table 3 ['ITT (current analysis) and ITT (including imputed data)'] is misleading. As cord blood gas values may change rapidly after delivery (3), analyses should be performed and compared in a standardized manner, as in the original study setting. As the effectiveness of ST analysis as an adjunct to CTG in fetal intrapartum monitoring has been, and will be, a subject of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including our current work to update a systematic review (4) for the Managed Uptake of Medical Methods program in Finland, the outcome data of the relevant trials would be most valuable if reported as comprehensively and unambiguously as possible.

The sedimentary record of aeolian deposits and geomorphic features of the aeolian landforms of Northern Eurasia contain important information that allows us to better understand the climate and environments of the Late Glacial and Early Holocene periods. At the same time, the degree of scientific knowledge about the timing of aeolian activity, as well as the landscapes that existed during these periods, differs significantly for different parts of this vast territory. Data on the sedimentological record and age estimations of aeolian phases are practically absent for the periglacial zone of Western Siberia, in contrast to that of Europe. This paper presents the first data on the Late Quaternary fluvio-aeolian environments of the southwestern part of Western Siberia, using two sections as examples. Our methods included field investigations, analysis of grain-size and chemical composition, quartz grain morphoscopy and infrared optically stimulated luminescence (IR-OSL) and AMS dating. The obtained results show that aeolian sands are common covering deposits within the study area. Two stages of aeolian activity were identified: the first during the Boreal period (9.2–10.2 ka BP), and the second during the Atlantic period, beginning near 7 ka BP.


Electronic commerce has become integral part of business operation and individual person's life. It is easy, fast and reliable way of money transfer. However, with new technology security related issues have increased drastically. In this research, we have proposed secured payment protocol using self-certified key generation method. To measure performance of used payment procedure in payment application, one should understand flaws in depth in payment application. This research analyzes the security related issues of application and proposed new secure and energy efficient payment protocol (SEEMPP). We applied the reverse engineering method to inspect the risks related to social engineering attacks. Furthermore, we proposed an energy-efficient model to improve energy efficiency for payment application. This results in a better payment application which will gain customers trust and will increase e-commerce business.

The placement of juveniles in secure detention has been the subject of considerable attention recently. For the past several years, Virginia has been engaged in efforts to improve detention practices at both the state and local levels. One important policy and practice change is the implementation of a standardized, structured decision-making instrument to guide detention decisions by intake officers of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). This report will present a brief background on the Detention Assessment Instrument (DAI); an analysis of the performance of the DAI on key public safety outcomes; and an overview of Virginia's participation in the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI).


In this study,in order to enhance the selection efficiency in breeding of Syringa,and identify F1 hybrids rapidly and accurately,five isozymes(EST,SKD,G-6-PD,ADH,PGM) in 18 hybrids from 8 hybrid combinations of S.vulgaris were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in vertical plate.The results showed that:(1) Among the 18 hybrids,16 samples were true hybrids;(2) In the analysis of EST,SKD and MDH bands,the combination numbers of male parent possessing characteristic bands were 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 compared with female parent;(3) Among 3 couples of reciprocal crosses(combination 1 and 2,3 and 4,5 and 6) the specific genetic characteristics towards male parent or female parent were not found.So the isozyme analysis technology could be considered as an effective measure to identify hybrids of Syringa.


In the present paper we investigate the stability of the ascent and descent of a linear operator T when T is subjected to a perturbation by a linear operator C which commutes with T. The domains and ranges of T and C lie in some linear space X. The results are used to characterize the Browder essential spectrum of T. We conclude with a number of remarks concerning the notion of commutativity used in the present paper. Introduction. To discuss ascent and descent one must consider iterates of operators. Some sort of commutativity of T and C is necessary in order to meaningfully compare operators such as T and (T + C) and to "factor" operator products (cf. Lemma 1.4). We shall say a linear operator C commutes with T if (i) the domain of C, JJ(C), contains the domain of T, (ii) Cx e 3/(T) whenever x £ J)(T), and (iii) TCx = CTx for x e J)(T ) This definition coincides with the usual one when T and C ate defined on all of X. Note that T commutes with itself if and only if T maps i)(T) into J'(T). In $T we collect together a number of preliminary lemmas about operators T and C such that C commutes with T. In §2 we show by purely algebraic methods that the finiteness of the ascent or descent of T is retained by the operator T + C when C commutes with T and a certain power of C has finitedimensional range. In general this does not hold if C is a compact operator, but similar results may be obtained when some restrictions are placed on T. This is shown in §3, where we consider perturbations by compact operators, Riesz operators and T -compact operators. In §4 we use the results of §3 to characterize the Browder essential spectrum. The main results of this section have been announced earlier by the second author (see [9]). In the final section we discuss the commutativity condition used here. Among other things we show that there exists a closed operator T such that the only bounded operators commuting with T ate scalar multiples of the identity operator.

In the recent years, the trends in technology have come up with a solution to share digital media in an easier and rapid manner which leads to the use of media in an illegitimate manner. In order to make this problem less severe, various cryptographic techniques can be used to secure the digital media by encrypting them. The following article presents a technique that enables the implementation of image security through three different techniques namely Double random phase encoding, Chaos based encryption and steganography methods. Key Words: Cryptography, Double Random Phase, Steganography, Chaos encryption, image security.


Measurements of velocity, salinity, and suspended solids concentration have been used to investigate the intra-tidal variation of vertical and transverse shear-induced dispersion. For the study research the interaction of the longitudinal density gradient and vertical shear during the early part of the ebb tide accounted for much of the net longitudinal dispersion of solute landward. The same mechanism also is shown to lead to a net particulate transport landward. The landward flux, however, takes place during the flood tide. The field data are also used to elucidate the tidally averaged tidal pumping mechanism.


Serum lipoproteins were measured during a single infusion of Intralipid and during parenteral nutrition with Intralipid and glucose. Postheparin plasma lipolytic enzymes and plasma LCAT activity were assayed before and after the parenteral nutrition. Both single and repeated infusions of Intralipid were followed by a significant rise of HDL2 concentration (p < 0.01), whereas the HDL3 decreased. The composition of HDL subclasses altered. The HDL2 triglyceride and phospholipids increased, while the HDL3 esterified cholesterol and protein decreased. In vitro incubation of serum with Intralipid alone caused no changes in the zonal profile of HDL subclasses, but hydrolysis of Intralipid by lipoprotein lipase was followed by conversion of HDL3 into lighter particles floating in the density range of HDL2. The present results provide additional evidence for a precursor-product relationship between the HDL2 and HDL3. During 4 days of parenteral nutrition with Intralipid, the basal (morning) values of serum total and VLDL triglyceride did not change. The LDL phospholipids increased progressively (from 67 to 98 mg/dl, p < 0.05). The total HDL cholesterol decreased and this change was due to the fall of HDL3 cholesterol esters (from 19 to 12 mg/dl, p < 0.05). Also the basal values of apo A-l and A-ll in HDL3 decreased. The basal level of the HDL2 remained constant. Postheparin plasma LPL activity increased by 52% (p < 0.01) but hepatic lipase activity fell by 49% (p < 0.05). These changes may account for the maintenance of plasma HDL2, whereas the progressive fall of the basal HDL3 is probably due to the lack of intestinal apoprotein synthesis during absent intestinal absorption.

Post-creep strain tests on single crystal Ni3Al have been conducted at 380degreeC (far below the peak temperature Tp of flow stress) after creep at the same temperature. When specimens were crept at about 225 MPa (just below the conventional yield stress) for 45 h to a plastic strain of about 0.5% and then deformed 2% at a constant strain rate (10-4s-1) at the same temperature, it was found that dislocation structures were different from those observed after constant strain-rate deformation at the same temperature on annealed specimens. Dislocations are mainly on the cube cross-slip plane in the pre-crept specimens instead of on octahedral planes as in conventional annealed specimens. The dislocations exhibit quite a curved morphology although screw and near-screw segments predominate. Although the dislocations are gliding on the cube plane, super or double Lomer-Cottrell locks of the edge segments are not common.


Gentamicin is one of the antibiotics from the aminoglycoside group used for the treatment of infections. Gentamicin has side effect such as permanent ototoxicity and reversible nephrotoxicity. It was necessary to reduce these effects by combining antibiotic with natural ingredients, one of those is coriander seeds essential oil. Combination therapy is done to reduce the potential side effects, and increase antibacterial efficacy. Antibacterial activity test were conducted to measure the MIC values of gentamicin, essential oils of coriander seeds, and combination of both. Based on the antibacterial activity test, MIC value of gentamicin was 4 µg/mL, coriander seed essential oil was 50 µg/mL and MIC combination of gentamicin and essential oil of coriander seeds were 0.5 µg/mL and 50 µg/mL. The FIC Index value obtained was 1.125 meaning that the combination effect was indifferent. Indifferent combination effect means the use of a combination of coriander seeds essential oil and gentamicin as antibacterial was not better than the single use.

Keywords: coriander, essential oil, antibacterial, FIC Index, S. epidermidis

This paper compares how managersvalue knowledge from internal and external sources. Although many theories account for favoritism toward insiders, we find that preferences for knowledge obtained from outsiders are also prevalent. Two complementary case studies and survey data from managers demonstrate the phenomenon of valuing external knowledge more highly than internal knowledge and reveal some mechanisms through which this process occurs. We found evidence that the preference for outsider knowledge is the result of managerial responses to (1) the contrasting status implications of learning from internal versus external competitors, and (2) the availability or scarcity of knowledge-internal knowledge is more readily available and hence subject to greater scrutiny, while external knowledge is more scarce, which makes it appear more special and unique. We conclude by considering some consequences of the external knowledge preference for organizational functioning.

This study is carried out to assess the soft and hard tissue conditions around dental implant cases at the Faculty of Dentistry Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Methods: Patients with dental implants of more than 6 months in function were recalled for clinical and radiographic evaluation. Probing pocket depth, suppuration, bleeding, recession and plaque index were clinically evaluated. Periapical radiograph (IOPA) were also taken. The data from the findings were statistically evaluated using SPSS program. Result: 14.3% of implants placed in consider healthy, 4.8% implants have clinical stability and 81% have peri-implant mucositis and none of the participants have peri-implantitis and severe peri-implantitis. Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, it's concluded that the status of peri-implant tissues is mainly affected by gender, systemic disease, smoking status,oral hygiene and years of implants functioning in oral condition. In addition, age plays a significant role that contribute to periimplant health.


learning experience and stigmatizg the students and the program as second class. Therefore, one of the major challenges that teachers face is to develop and implement distance education opportunities that equate to the quality standards of traditional oncampus offerings. This may q u i r e a significant shift in how teachers in distance programs perceive their roles and fulfill their obligations. Learning at a distance has become a viable and necessary option for many adults aspiring to further their education. Economic and lifestyle factots m contributing to an increased demand for off-campus learning opportunities. Distance education offers students the option of studying and learning in a more autonomous environment, in more convenient locations, and often at their crwn paoes. In order to provide a quality distance learning experience, the role of the teacher must be carefully considered. This article briefly describes a transactional model of distance education. It also suggests activities that will assist in transforming the role of the teacher in distance education from a dispenser of knowledge to a facilitator of learning.


Hughes Syndrome (antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) is associated with many neurological diseases. A multiple sclerosis-like picture, is a rare ®nding in this setting. We report our experience in treating one case with long term follow-up. A 30-year-old female patient was investigated in 1991 because of recurrent miscarriages. She had had no other symptoms and clinical examination was unremarkable. Complete blood count, chemistry pro®le and urine analysis were normal. Anti cardiolipin antibody test (ACL) was positive at IgG >160 GpL (normal <13), IgM 48 mpL (normal<12). She was managed during her subsequent pregnancy with aspirin and low molecular weight heparin. She delivered in March 1992, a healthy female baby at 36 weeks of gestation. She was lost to follow-up until November 1994 when she started to have headaches. No associated fever, joint pain, skin rash or calf pain. Clinical examination revealed an elevated blood pressure 160/110 mm Hg and a small diffuse goitre. Investigations revealed Hb 132 gm/L, Leukocyte Count 11.4610/L with normal differential, platelet count 297610/L, ESR 36 mm in the ®rst hour, ACL IgG 82 GpL, IgM< 11 mpL. Computer-


Literature and clinical practice around adult‐onset hearing loss (HL) has traditionally focused on environmental risk factors, including noise exposure, ototoxic drug exposure, and cardiovascular disease. The most common diagnosis in adult‐onset HL is presbycusis. However, the age of onset of presbycusis varies, and patients often describe family history of HL as well as individual variation in progression and severity. In recent years, there has been accumulating evidence of gene–environment interactions underlying adult cases of HL. Susceptibility loci for age‐related HL have been identified, and genes related to postlingual nonsyndromic HL continue to be discovered through individual reports and genome‐wide association studies. This review will outline main concepts in genetics as related to HL, identify implicated genes, and discuss clinical implications. Laryngoscope, 131:401–409, 2021


GITEWS (German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System) is one of the responses that were triggered by the tsunami offshore Sumatra in 2004. Since tsunamis are a global phenomenon, satellite based techniques like GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) are predestined as major components of future early warning systems. GNSS-R altimetry from space is expected to be applicable for tsunami detection. With a constellation of small satellites oceans could be monitored with high temporal and spatial coverage. Key components of such GNSS-R constellations are appropriate receivers. Therefore GFZ started activities related to the development of such receivers in cooperation with industry. Their performance was already successfully tested during several ground based campaigns. We review these measurements and introduce recent activities for airborne applications of GNSS-R. In addition we introduce results of a simulation study, where the tsunami detection performance of various GNSS-R micro satellite constellations was investigated for tsunami detection at the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean.

It is controlled online by a group of currency holders themselves which is possible only using Internet. Cryptocurrencies use decentralized technology to let its users do secured transactions and keep record of all transactions without the need to use intermediate Financial Institutes like bank. They are maintained on a distributed open catalog called blockchain, which is a record of all transactions updated and held by currency holders.


PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence and types of orthopedic injuries in infantry and noninfantry units responsible for attrition from combat training.

METHODS
18,651 soldiers consecutively recruited to combat units (5 infantry and 4 noninfantry units) were included in this study. All recruited soldiers underwent and successfully passed a meticulous medical selection process. In all units, the soldiers participated in a suited fitness program that included marching, running, and strength training. Data were collected directly from attrite soldiers' files and detailed lists provided by the units' medical clinics.

RESULTS
Out of 18,651 recruits, 641 (3.44%) attrite because of medical reasons. The leading cause of attrition was orthopedic diagnoses, and their overall rate was 43% (274 out of 641). Overuse injuries accounted for 90% of all orthopedic injuries. Low-back and lower extremity injuries accounted for 71.5% of all orthopedic injuries. There was high similarity in orthopedic injuries types and rates between infantry and noninfantry units.

CONCLUSION
On the basis of our results, we recommend a multidisciplinary intense effort including physicians, physical training officers, physiotherapists, and commanders to significantly reduce overuse injuries, especially in the low-back and lower extremity regions.

This chapter deals with the reception of CLADE II by Latin Americans and North Americans, and how CLADE II helped further the process of definition and independence for an autochthonous theological production by Latin American evangelicals. The program of CLADE II had three parts. The first was a descriptive one. It consisted of a presentation and evaluation of evangelism up to that time. The second part of the program was a reflective part. It aimed to reflect on major issues related to evangelism characteristic of each geographical region, followed by a theological reflection on four theological themes, "Christ and Anti-Christ in Proclamation," "Sin and Salvation in Contemporary Latin America. The third part of the congress was programmatic. It intended to formulate "concrete plans for evangelistic action in the 1980s.".Keywords: CLADE II; evangelism; Latin Americans; North Americans; salvation; sin


It is still 'Janet vs Freud'. We present 'The theory of structural dissociation' and the three-phase treatment programme that provides the basis for treatment of traumatized patients in many services in Europe, exploring its shortcomings. With roots in Janet's work it displays a behaviouristic, systemic view of the human being that allows for an understanding of traumatic experience as preventing natural development of the personality towards an integrated unit, or disrupting integration, causing splits along fault lines between major personality systems. Traumatization, structural dissociation, produces patients with multiple inner parts, each with a subjective first person perspective of experience not (necessarily) shared with other parts. With our roots in Freud, from an object relations perspective, we illustrate, through clinical example with two traumatized female patients, how (1) the transference and countertransference provides a unique, alternative understanding of the traumatized patient determining the direction of the therapeutic process, thus making a phase-orientated therapy moot; (2) the patient's functioning prior to traumatization influences the actual traumatic experience, reactions to it and the treatment process; and (3) a patient's attachment needs and way of handling these, brings the traumatic experience into the treatment room from the first contact, providing a core process in the transference and countertransference throughout the therapy.


The earth rotates from west to east at a certain angular velocity, so the earth is not a strict inertial reference system. For most engineering technical problems, taking the earth as the inertial reference system can obtain sufficiently accurate calculation results. However, for problems with long operating time, large range of activities, and high precision requirements, such as aerospace, astronomy, and outer space exploration, unallowable errors will be produced if the influence of the earth's rotation is omitted, which will seriously affect the experimental results. Therefore, how to solve the problem of the particle motion in the non-inertial system is of great significance for analyzing the motion law of each part of the non-inertial system. Taking the projectile motion in a non-inertial frame as an example, this paper proposes a solution method based on numerical calculation method.
