Objective: to use laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) to investigate the effect of perfluorane on the time course of microhemocirculatory changes in the rat skin in acute blood loss and after autohemotransfusion. Materials and methods. Experiments were carried out on 31 outbred male rats weighing 300—400 g under anesthesia with intraperitoneal Nembutal 45 mg/kg. The caudal artery was catheterized to measure blood pressure (BP), to sample and reinfuse blood, and to administer infusion solutions. The LDF (ЛАКК-02 device, LAZMA, Russia) method was used to record blood flow in the microvessels of the internal surface of the right ear. A volume-fixed acute blood loss model was applied. The goal amount of blood loss was 30% of the circulating blood volume. At 10 minutes after blood sampling, the animals were administered with 0.9% NaCl solution (physiologic saline (PS), n=15) or perfluorane, PF, n=16 at in a dose of 3 ml/kg body weight. At 60 minutes following blood sampling, autohemotransfusion was carried out, after which there was a 60 min reperfusion period. The investigators ana lyzed LDF readings and determined the following indicators: microcirculation index (MI); the maximum ampli tudes of blood flow fluctuations in the endothelial (Ae), neurogenic (An), and myogenic (AM) frequency ranges by a wavelet analysis. The data were statistically processed using Statistica 7.0 software. Results. At baseline, no differences were found between the PF and PS groups in the examined indicators. At 1—10 min of hypovolemia (before drug administration), as compared with the baseline values, both groups showed equal changes as reductions in blood pressure (BP) (by 58.3 and 62.2% in the PS and PF groups) and MI (by 63.3 and 69.2% in the PS and PF groups) and an increase in An (P<0.05). After drug injections, BP and MI were increased in both groups, but to a greater extent in the PF group (P<0.05); Ae also rose in both groups, and An continued to remain higher. During hypovolemia, BP values were thereafter similar in both groups and An remained elevated as compared to its baseline values, at the same time Ae remained increased in the PF group only. During reperfusion, MI, Ae, and An returned to their baseline values in both groups. BP returned to its baseline values and was kept constant in the PS group and decreased in the PF group at 50—60 min versus 1—10 min of reperfusion and outcome. The differences in BP had no impact on the microcirculatory parameters examined. Conclusion. The administration of PF versus PS in acute blood loss causes a more pronounced increase in BP and MI. The Ae increase persisting in the PF group throughout hypovolemia may point to the stimulating effect of PF on the endothelium-dependent mechanisms of flux motions in the rat ear skin under hypovolemic conditions.


This research explores a technique for enhancing the integration between physical paper and digital information using augmented reality. Conventional augmented reality systems overlay virtual information onto planar objects such as paper. A piece of paper can be rotated and translated in front of a camera in order to view virtual contents in 6 degrees of freedom. However, people usually handle a piece of paper by folding or bending. For instance, people fold a piece of paper for holding it easily or bend it to follow the shape of their hands. Conventional augmented reality systems do not consider the change in the geometric property of paper such as folding and bending as natural interaction. Therefore, it is necessary to implement such interactions in order to enhance augmented reality. Firstly, this work includes the modeling and recognition of folding, bending and cutting-based interactions on physical paper by applying a matching method. This work proposes an automatic recognition of the folding applied to physical papers and the transition between folded and planar condition. Secondly, the folding is extended into a bending interaction. Thirdly, regions recognition on paper is extended to allow the user to cut a piece of paper and track the pieces independently. The system setup is then extended using projector-camera setup to allow the user to view the visualization directly on physical papers. In this case, the system can be implemented in larger area. By using the random dot marker technique, automatic content alignment is proposed. It allows the arbitrary movement of projector, camera and physical paper. As a result, it is not necessary to fix the projector, the camera and the paper beforehand and the time-consuming pre-calibration procedure can be avoided. The proposed method is applied in order to realize the visualization of geographical information on physical paper maps. User can fold, bend, and cut a piece of paper map for interacting with virtual contents. A system architecture for building augmented maps applications that retrieves the geographical information from the Internet is presented. Using the proposed system architecture, the paper map and the virtual contents can be retrieved on demand so that the augmented maps application of any location can be made. Moreover, in order to support the user mobility and recent devices, the implementation of augmented maps on mobile phones is explored. Furthermore, the interaction of augmented maps is also explored by realizing pointing and tapping gestures.


The widespread use of screening mammography has resulted in a remarkable rise in the diagnosis of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). A resultant challenge is the early screening of these patients to identify those with concurrent invasive breast cancer (IBC), as one in five DCIS at biopsy, are upgraded to IBC following surgery. Both x-ray mammography and multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) lack the ability to distinguish DCIS from IBC reliably. Our robust methodology for 3D alignment of histopathology images and MRI provides a unique opportunity to spatially map digitized histopathology slides on pre-surgical MRI which is particularly important in the tumors where DCIS and IBC co-occur as well as for the study of tumor heterogeneity. In this proof-of-concept study, we developed and evaluated a methodological framework for the 3D spatial alignment of MRI and histopathology slices, using x-ray radiographs as intermediate modality. Our methodology involves (1) the co-registration of 2D x-ray radiographs showing macrosections and corresponding 2D histology slices, (2) the 3D reconstruction of the ex vivo specimen based on the x-ray images, and aligned histology slices, and (3) the registration of the 3D reconstructed ex vivo specimen with the 3D MRI. The spatially co-registered MRI and histopathology images may enable the identification of MRI features that distinguish aggressive from indolent disease on in vivo MRI.


The relaxivity of [GdL1]3+ in aqueous solution has been studied as a function of temperature and magnetic field strength. The complex possesses a high relaxivity at pH 6 (12.8 mmol-1 s-1) that diminishes as successive water molecules are deprotonated, leading to a complex species whose relaxivity is typical of a purely outer-sphere complex. Measurements of the luminescence lifetime of a very similar complex, [YbL2]3+, in H2O and D2O were used to confirm that the complex possesses three bound waters at pH 5.5, but above pH 11 there are no bound OH groups in the putative di-oxo-bridged dimer.


Simple Summary Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common type of gastrointestinal sarcomas. Recent treatment advancements have led to a significant improvement in the survival of patients living with GIST. Nevertheless, patients with metastatic GIST will eventually require multiple lines of treatment. The use of immunotherapies could potentially fill the role of such treatments and potentiate the current therapies. This article reviews the mechanism by which the immune system interacts with GIST and discusses several studies on the use of immunotherapies in GIST. Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal soft tissue sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract. The management of locally advanced or metastatic unresectable GIST involves detecting KIT, PDGFR, or other molecular alterations targeted by imatinib and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The role of immunotherapy in soft tissue sarcomas is growing fast due to multiple clinical and pre-clinical studies with no current standard of care. The potential therapies include cytokine-based therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, anti-KIT monoclonal antibodies, bi-specific monoclonal antibodies, and cell-based therapies. Here we provide a comprehensive review of the immunotherapeutic strategies for GIST.


The Telehealth Network of Minas Gerais (TNMG) is a public telehealth service supporting primary care practitioners in 660 of the 853 municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais, in the southeast of Brazil. A wide range of teleconsultations is provided. Store-and-forward teledermatology began in 2007. We conducted a retrospective study of the teleconsultations performed from the beginning of the service in April 2007 until August 2012. The teleconsultations were classified according to the professional who requested them and the municipality from which they were submitted. The number of municipalities covered by the TNMG increased from 82 in 2007 to 660 in 2012. A sample of teleconsultations from January to May 2010 was individually assessed to analyze the most frequent types of queries. User satisfaction was assessed by the following questions, which were available to users when they received the response to their teleconsultation: (1) ''Did the teleconsultation avoid the patient's referral?'' (2) ''Did the teleconsultation answer your question?'' (3) ''What is your level of satisfaction with the teleconsultation system?''

The findings of this study provide empirical support for the proposition that underlying ethnic differences - among farm operators in Israel - is a consistent set of psycho-social orientation and manifested behavior associated with the individual modernity syndrome. This set is composed of several dimensions characterized intrinsically by a sense of control over the environment, secularism and an egalitarian perspective. It was shown that occidentals and native born occidentals in particular score high on a "scale of modernity," whereas farm operators of oriental origin have a traditional value orientation. Modernity is correlated with economic performance. Farm operators who are modern are also economically more effective. Effectiveness is approximated as a "net effect" over and above the variation attributable to differences in the endowments of conventional inputs and formal schooling. However, this is a preliminary approximation which establishes that an association between economic effectiveness and our indices of modernity exists. It may not suffice to provide parameters having predictive power over the "true" modernity-productivity relationship. The latter should be derived from an empirical analysis which rests upon a comprehensive causal model. The structure of a comprehensive model, its estimatable forms and the data necessary for estimation are being investigated presently. Some of the considerations guiding the investigation are the following:


Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is one of the highest cultivated regions in the world. The objective of the present study was to compare wheat growth and grain yield in the high altitude region with those in a low altitude region. Two spring wheat cultivars were grown for two years at an experimental field in Lhasa (29ºN, 3688 m above sea level) in the Tibetan Plateau in 2001 and 2003, and in Sapporo (43ºN, 15 m above sea level), Japan in 2002 and 2003. In Lhasa, temperature throughout the growth period was lower and photoperiod before heading was shorter than in Sapporo. There was no significant difference in grain yield between Lhasa and Sapporo. Dry matter production was higher in Lhasa than in Sapporo. The crop growth rate before heading was similar in both locations, but the time to heading was 15 days longer in Lhasa than in Sapporo. Leaf senescence was more decelerated in Lhasa than in Sapporo. These results suggested that high dry matter production in Lhasa was mainly due to the longer growth period.


In August 1971, N7+ ions were accelerated by the Bevatron to hitherto unprecedented energies in the laboratory (Grunder, Hartsough and Lofgren 1971). The Bevatron, a 62 GeV proton synchrotron, has a long and spectacular history of research in high energy physics.


This case, set one year after the B case (see OB-0391), describes what Peter Woodson did and focuses on personal change, choice, and significant decision making.


This paper provides evidence that the shift in emphasis in the 1980s from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans is related to a larger trend in which compensation contracts in firms with larger investment opportunity set tend to have a stronger link between pay and performance to shift more risk to employees. In addition, both the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987 and the FASB's adoption of SFAS 87, Accounting for Pensions seemed to have played a role in motivating firms to shift their retirement plan emphasis to defined contribution plans.


We aimed to improve documentation on general surgical ward rounds, through the introduction of a ward round template at a single UK surgical unit.

 The structure of the template was adapted from the 'Surgical Assessment for Emergencies Ward Round Tool' produced by the RCSEd, with modifications based on local requirements. A retrospective audit was performed of 4 weeks of electronic ward round notes prior to, and 4 weeks after the introduction of the template. Ward round notes on 2 chosen days (Wednesdays and Saturdays) during the 4 week study periods were included for analysis. We observed how frequently specific important clinical information was documented.

 378 electronic ward round notes were analysed (176 before, and 202 after the introduction of the template). The ward round template was used, either in part or in full, in 72% of ward round notes following it's introduction. An pre-existing structured electronic ward round note had previously been used in only 1% of cases. How frequently each of the following components was documented when using the template was: important admission events (86%), VTE prophylaxis (93%), nutritional status (76%), review of prescribed antibiotics (91%) and ceiling of care (65%). We demonstrated statistically significant improvements for each of these components (p<0.05) from pre-template rates (73%, 16%, 63%, 51% and 2% respectively).

 The introduction of a ward round template vastly improved the frequency with which a structured approach to ward round was taken. In doing so, significantly improving the documentation of important clinical information.


A subset of patients with heavily pretreated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) respond to pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck) monotherapy, according to a study presented by Dr Sylvia Adams of the New York University School of Medicine in New York, New York. The response rate appeared to be the same in patients whose tumors expressed programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) as in those whose tumors did not. Cohort A of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-086 study (Study of Pembrolizumab Monotherapy for Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer) enrolled 170 women (median age, 54 years) with centrally confirmed mTNBC who had disease progression, at least 1 prior systemic treatment for mTNBC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and no radiographic evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. More than one-third of patients (44%) had received at least 3 prior lines of treatment for metastatic disease, 51% had elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), 74% had visceral metastases, and 62% had PD-L1–positive tumors. The patients received 200 mg of pembrolizumab every 3 weeks for 2 years or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal. Tumors were imaged every 9 weeks for the first year and every 12 weeks thereafter. After a median follow-up of 11 months, 9 patients (5%) were still taking pembrolizumab. Treatmentrelated adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade occurred in 60% of patients, and those of grade 3 or 4 occurred in 12% of patients. TRAEs led to discontinuation of pembrolizumab in 4% of patients but did not cause any deaths. The objective response rate (ORR) to pembrolizumab was approximately the same in PD-L1–positive patients (5%; 95% CI, 2%-11%) as in PD-L1–negative patients (5%; 95% CI, 1%-13%). The best overall response was a complete response (CR) in 1% of patients, a partial response (PR) in 4%, stable disease (SD) in 21%, and not evaluable in 3%. The disease control rate was 8%, and the median duration of response was 6 months. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2 months, and median overall survival (OS) was 9 months. Patients who had poor prognostic factors, such as high LDH and liver or visceral metastases, had a trend toward a reduced ORR. Dr Adams said that KEYNOTE-086, which is "so far the largest immunotherapy study for metastatic triplenegative breast cancer," showed that pembrolizumab monotherapy produced durable antitumor activity in a subset of patients with heavily pretreated mTNBC. "The activity appeared independent of PD-L1 expression, and the overall response was numerically lower in women who had poor prognostic features." Patients who achieved a CR, PR, or SD had "promising" survival, whereas patients with poor prognostic factors had a trend toward a worse ORR. Dr Adams also pointed out that the treatment was well tolerated. She said that analyses of additional biomarkers, such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), are ongoing. In addition, randomized studies are continuing to examine pembrolizumab as monotherapy and as part of combination therapy for TNBC.


(i) Is there or is there not a complete congenital absence of pigment in the eye of the albino? This problem follows at once on the definition which had several times been repeated, that an albino was a person with complete congenital absence of pigment in the eye. The answer to this first problem could not be reached by clinical methods but only by microscopical examination of excised eyes. At the time just referred to not a single human eye had been reported upon which was entirely devoid of pigment. An examination of a portion of the iris only, even if it is found pigmentless, cannot be concltusive for settling the question of entire absence.


A member of the novel solid-solution series SrFexV2–xO4 (x = 1.40) has been structurally characterized. Topologically, the compound belongs to the zeolite-type ABW.


The phrase, "Rice is life" aptly describes the importance of rice in food as well in nutritional security, particularly in Asian countries. Soil nutrient management in case of rice cultivation mainly focus on the major nutrient application but rice plants require high quantity of silicate and micro nutrient but the cost is not affordable. Hence, Coal combustion fly ash has a high available Si content, alkaline pH as well as micronutrient was selected as a potential source in this study and the field experiment was conducted. Abundant supply of micronutrients like Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn along with P and K was recorded in the soil samples of plot treated with fly ash when compared with the plots with NPK alone. The availability of these nutrients has resulted in increased yield. Hence this would be scaled as an economically viable solution for hidden hunger in the areas in and around thermal power plants.


A case of a 42-year-old female with hyperthyroidism was subsequently diagnosed to have systemic lupus erythematosus with distal RTA. The clinical examination on admission showed swelling of the knee joints and the urinalysis showed pH 6.5, pro 3+. Her blood routine results were as follows: white blood cells 1.85×109/L, platelets 100×109/L, erythrocyte 3.06×1012/L. The serum potassium was 3.11 mmol/L, 24 hour urinary electrolyte: K 68.87 mmol/24 H, antinuclear antibodies (ANA) 1:1 000, speckled pattern. The anti-double stranded DNA antibody (anti-dsDNA), anti SS-A(52) antibody and anti SS-A(60) antibody were positive. The light microscopy and immunofluorescence showed diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis. These data were compatible with the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. The diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and distal RTA is clear. This report showed that other autoimmune disease in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism should not be ignored. INTRODUCTION Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and multi-system autoimmune disorder characterized by dysregulated immune responses and production of pathogenic autoantibodies by immune cells such as B-cells, T-cells and dendritic cells(Yuen & Cunningham 2014). The clinical presentations of SLE include rash, oral ulcers, fatigue and arthralgias, and the course of the disease is unpredictable with periods of flares alternating with remission (Yuen & Cunningham 2014). Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a metabolic acidosis caused by impaired excretion of hydrogen ions reabsorption of bicarbonate. The most common causes of distal renal tubular acidosis in adults are autoimmune disorders including Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune thyroiditis of the thyroiditis states. Graves, disease-associated RTA is a rare disease (Sim et al. 2013). Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) results from a dysregulation of the immune system leading to an immune attack on the thyroid. AITD is T cell-mediated organ-


The association of the Wolff -Parkinson -White Sydrome with normal individuals and in those with congenital or acquired cardiac disorders is well established (1). Predisposition of such people with this electrocardiographic abnormality to supraventrcular tachyarrhythmias was first described in 1930 (2). When the Wolff -Parkinson -White Syndrome occurs in an individual with heart disease, interpretation of the electrocardiogram may be difficult. This is because the Syndrome may mask the underlying electrocardiographic abnormalities or may simulate other cardiac disorders. Acute myocardial infarction in a patient with the Wolff -Parkinson -White Syndrome was first reported in 1945 (3), and up to 1950 other reports that appeared on this association were in patients with inferior (posterior) infarction. Goldberg and Lewis (4) were the first to report the Wolff -Parkinson -White Syndrome in a patient with anterior. infarction. This is a case report of acute myocardial infarction and the Wolff Parkinson -White Syndrome in a 57 year old man. Electrocardiographic changes are illustrated, and problems in the management of persistent cardiac failure and recurrent supraventricular tachycardia are described. As there has been no previous reports from this region of the uncommon simultaneous occurrence of this Syndrome with acute myocardial infarction, it was deemed pertinent to record this case.


In a cuisine known best for its ample portions of pasta and in a cold climate favoring hearty food, Utica Greens, a meelange of sauteeed escarole, cherry peppers, garlic, cheese, prosciutto, breadcrumbs and olive oil, has become a regional specialty. ""Greens"" now appear on the menu of virtually every Italian-American restaurant in Utica and can be found on buffet tables at receptions and potlucks in the surrounding area. Incorporating interviews with chefs and household cooks, this article charts the history of Utica Greens from its origins as a humble dish prepared in Italian-American family kitchens to its appearance in local restaurants where it has become a nostalgic marker of a time when people grew their own food in backyard gardens and home-grown vegetables were at the center of family life.


The changes of educational policies worldwide create the necessity for educators to be aware of the technological processes to be able to innovate in his/her area of knowledge. Therefore, there is a need, to strategically plan the educational preparation policy of human resources in the educational level, since there is a direct relationship between this aspect and the initial and permanent preparation of the educators which demand the educational centers. It is prudent to emphasize that human resources, regardless the area, have become the greatest asset of any organization, since they guarantec the achievement of mission and * Recibido: Enero – 2006 Aprobado: Mayo – 2006 18 goal. Human resources are, then, of outmost importance in the educational system. Some authors argue that they are vital for the prosperity, survival and quality of education they agree that human resources are a key factor in the effectiveness and quality of education, as weir as a way to influence direct and effectively in the acquisition of a learning more social productive and culturally pertinent. The main purpose of this research is to accomplish a theorical approach of the influence that strategic planning of human resources may have on improving education quality, in doing so a descriptive bibliography methodology has been applied

Analysis of the monthly mean interannual variations in the total ozone (TO), zonal stratospheric circulation, three-dimensional Eliassen–Palm (EP) fluxes and their correlations with the surface air temperature (SAT) and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the North Pacific and North Atlantic was carried out. Interannual TO variations are strongly connected with those of the zonal wind in the lower stratosphere during the winter. A strong upward propagation of planetary waves from the troposphere to the stratosphere over northern Eurasia and a weak downward propagation in Labrador and South Greenland regions are indicated. There are large differences in the interaction of the zonal mean circulation and wave processes between early winter (November–December) and mid-to-late winter (January–March). Amplification of the penetration into the stratosphere of planetary waves in December is strongly associated with changes in the stratospheric dynamics in January, creating the 'preconditions' for the appearance of stratospheric warming. We show that the 'stratospheric bridge', with a strengthening of the downward propagation of the vertical EP flux over the North Atlantic, is being formed for years with a strong polar vortex. Simultaneous correlations of the stratospheric circulation variations with the Southern Oscillation Index show its small linkage with the stratospheric dynamics in the Arctic. However, there are significant correlations of the extratropical SST anomalies in the North Pacific and the North Atlantic with the interannual variations in the stratospheric dynamics. We demonstrate that the TO changes over the UK in January can be a good predictor of the anomalous cold/warm winters in distinct regions of Eurasia in February. The TO and other stratospheric predictors can be used for extended-range forecasting of extreme winters in Eurasia. Possible mechanisms for stratosphere–troposphere coupling and its link to the extratropical SST anomalies are discussed.


Structural and upconversion fluorescence properties in ytterbium-sensitized thulium-doped oxychloride germanate glass have been studied. The structure of oxychloride germanate glass was investigated by peak-deconvolution of Raman spectrum, and the structural information was obtained from the peak wavenumbers. The Raman spectrum investigation indicates that PbCl2 plays an important role in the formation of glass network, and has an important influence on the upconversion luminescence. Intense blue and weak red emissions centered at 477 and 650 nm, corresponding to the transitions (1)G(4) ->(3) H-6 and (1)G ->H-3(4), respectively, were observed at room temperature. The possible upconversion mechanisms are discussed and estimated. Intense upconversion luminescence indicates that oxychloride germanate glass can be used as potential host material for upconversion lasers. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

With increasing scrutiny regarding the notion of 'Teacher Quality' - specifically how to discern it, quantify it and improve it - this highly topical concept remains at the forefront of much debate. When examining the research on this concept there is a clear indication that teacher quality, can be differentiated into three very specific components; the affective attributes of the effective teacher; quantification of test scores from teacher certification, and examination of the life experiences of effective teachers prior to service, coupled with observation of their classroom practice. This study will attempt to elucidate for pedagogues how we determine teacher quality in Australia in order to give educators a better understanding of the 'goalposts' within which they are being are assessed as effective teachers.


We describe a patient with unilateral gustatory loss. MRI revealed a small lesion in the ipsilateral tegmentum of the pons. The parabrachial nucleus probably plays an important role in the gustatory system in the human and in rats and monkeys.

The pathway of gustatory fibers in the human brainstem is still controversial. We describe a patient with a small unilateral pontine lesion who presented with ipsilateral gustatory loss.

Case report. A 21-year-old woman complained of taste disturbance and diplopia. She had been healthy before this episode. On admission, she was alert and cooperative. Her taste was carefully examined by application of 0.5M NaCl, 10% glucose, 0.2 M acetic acid, and 0.02 M quinine. There was a marked diminution of taste on the whole right half of her tongue for all four substances. Examination by application of a electrical gustometer revealed an abnormally elevated gustatory threshold on the right half of her tongue and soft palate. Right internuclear ophthalmoplegia was noted, although pupils, fundi, and visual fields were …


Changes in kindergarten education in the United States from its inception to the present and reasons for the historical changes are explored. Froebels approach to kindergarten education is described and the introduction of kindergarten programs in the United States by various sponsors such as the-Women's "emparance Union, churches, and settlement houses is depicted. Programmatic change from Froebel*s theologically oriented rationale to the concepts and prMctices of progressive education to the :prescriptive kindergarten programs of the present as well as changes in }he number of children attending kindergarten are delineated. Subsequently, continuities and discontinuities in curriculum development are identified and changes in developiental theories used tD iustify early childhood education are pointed out. Concluding sections discuss pressures for early instruction in academic skills, the increased use of standardized tests to assess kindergarten achievement, and the presently inadequate preparation of kindergarten teachers. Suggestions are made for influencing future directions of kindergarten education.

During this time there hz-s been slow but growing acceptance of kindergarten education in America, as well as of early childhood education in general. There have also beena number of changes in conceptions of kindergarten education. The first kindergartens were based upon the philosophy and pedagogy of Friedrich Froebel. Good kindergartens of that era reflected both the spirit and the letter of Froebel's writing. The first major change from that early cAnception modified kindergarten practice to make it more con! sistent with 'principles derived from progressive education and from the emerging field of child development. During this time kindergartens slowly became integrated into the American public school system. More recently conceptions of kindergarten education seem to be evolving again. With the almost universal acceptance of kindergarten education as a legitimate part of public schooling, the distinction between the kindergarten and the primary grades seems to be disappearing in American schools.

The study of metastable phases has been elusive due to their propensity to convert to the stable phase. In this work, 3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (dpp)-doping was successfully used to relieve the high pressures required for the formation of metastable α-Ag2MoO4. α-Ag2MoO4 spheres were prepared via solution-phase precipitation under ambient conditions with the addition of dpp. While the properties of β-Ag2MoO4 have been well-studied, the difficulty in preparing the α-phase has limited its investigations to theoretical calculations. The overdue synthesis of α-Ag2MoO4 allowed empirical snapshots of its electronic and optical properties. The spheres show absorption in the visible/near-IR regions, and the band gap was determined to be 1.26 eV. Unlike β-Ag2MoO4, which is known to decay into Ag filaments on electron irradiation, the α-Ag2MoO4 spheres maintain their structural and electronic integrity. The inclusion of dpp into the crystal lattice is used to explain the experimental observations.


The search for those counsellor'client interaction variables which mediate the level of rapport between participants in counselling sessions remains a major focus, particularly in view of the questions which are arising regarding the reliability and usefulness to practitioners of data from large scale controlled clinical trials of specific treatment procedures delivered via standardized manuals. This study examined one of the major therapy interaction variables'verbal response modes'and evaluated its effectiveness upon the development of the Bond aspect of the Working Alliance. To operationalize this variable, client-perceived rapport was assessed every minute via the standardized client procedure described elsewhere. Data suggested that minimal encouragers, reflections of feelings and restatements were the most prominent of the traditional verbal response modes in building rapport, and the usage across the period of 40 to 60 minute interviews varied. Other response modes were also examined. Implications for therapy and training of counselling skills are discussed.

Jambu (Acmella oleracea [(L.) RK Jansen]) is a vegetable of great importance in the Amazonian region; it can be found in the daily life of the citizens of the State of Pará (Brazil), since it is part of traditional dishes such as duck in tucupi and tacacá sauce. Although jambu is widely cultivated, agronomic information about its management remains scarce. The aim of the current study was to analyze the physiological potential of jambu seeds stored in different packages and environments. The investigated packages comprised glass, Eppendorf tubes, plastic bags and paper bags conditioned in refrigerator and under natural conditions in Castanhal, Pará, for 360 days. Seed germination, first germination count, emergence seedlings, germination and emergence speed index, and seedling dry weight and length were the variables evaluated at 40-day intervals. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replicates of 50 seeds per treatment. Jambu seeds were only influenced by the environment where they were stored; the ones stored under natural conditions recorded decreasing behavior for the investigated variables until they reached zero, after 280 storage days. It was possible to conclude that the physiological potential of jambu seeds stored in refrigerator was better conserved.

Currently, several researches have concentrated on the new or vital security requirements of mobile commerce. However, some recent studies asserted a particular serious attack, called wormhole attack, that mainly targeting in a wireless-based system may also occur in the mobile commerce systems. Although there are many endeavors to confront wormhole attacks in the field of wireless communications, the solutions still have respective problems to be overcome and are not yet tailor-made for mobile commerce environment. This paper is the first one to unveil the emergence of wormhole attacks in mobile commerce and also proposes the precautionary method to prevent them. On the other hand, considering that the mobile device with limited resource, we utilize the secure filter to efficiently manage group key. Moreover, the proposed secure routing scheme is not only more efficient and robust than that in Ariadne but also resolve the new problem of Ariadne (insider attack) that is demonstrated by A¿cs et al.


Adequate waste disposal is currently under high demand in Australia, due to a rapid growth in population. Australia's scarcity and cost for the use of clays (most commonly used landfill liner material) have resulted in a search for alternative materials to achieve satisfactory performance in landfill design. This study explored liquid limit and hydraulic conductivity (HC) of coal composites for potential landfill liner use. Brown coal (lignite) was mixed with polyacrylamide (PAM) or sodium bentonite (Bt) to investigate liquid limits (LL), HC, and swelling behaviour. Each additive was subject to distilled water and sodium chloride solution (50 g/l) to investigate the effects of pore fluid chemistry. The addition of 2 wt% PAM resulted in approximately 82 percentage point (pp) increase in the LL of lignite with distilled water and 76 pp increase with 50 g/l sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The HC of lignite also decreased by more than two orders of magnitude as the PAM content increased. The swell index of l...

Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is an effective method of producing heavy oil and bitumen. In a typical SAGD approach, steam is injected into a horizontal well located directly above a horizontal producer. A steam chamber grows around the injection well and helps displace heated oil toward the production well. Single-well (SW) SAGD attempts to create a similar process using only one horizontal well. This may include steam injection from the toe of the horizontal well with production at the heel. Obvious advantages of SW-SAGD include cost savings and utility in relatively thin reservoirs. However, the process is technically challenging. To improve early-time response of SW-SAGD, it is necessary to heat the near-wellbore area to reduce oil viscosity and allow gravity drainage to take place. Ideally heating should occur with minimal circulation or bypassing of stream. Since project economics are sensitive to early production response, we are interested in optimizing the start -up procedure.


Phosphorus is not only an essential nutritional element for plants and animals,but it is also a significant factor in environmental pollution.Understanding phosphorus flow and balance in animal husbandry systems is very important for nutrient management on both a regional and national scale.Numerous research programs are underway to reduce pollution from animal excreta in North American and European countries such as the Netherlands,USA,Canada,Germany,Denmark,as well as in some countries of Africa.In China research about nutrient pollution from animal excreta is very limited.but this work is still very valuable.In this paper,Phosphorus flow and balance in animal husbandry systems is summarized.The study was focused on the P flow,balance and fate in a pig production system,a cattle production system,and in a fowl production system.Phosphorus flow,balance and fate in animal production systems were calculated based on actual inputs and outputs.The input included the animal feed,and the outputs included both the animal production and the animal excreta.The fate of phosphorus in such animal production systems includes mainly the phosphorus retained in the animals body as well as the fate of the phosphorus contained in the animal excreta.The utilization of excreta was evaluated according to the ratio of excreta to farm land and to the environment,etc.This research indicated that the total P output from the pig,cattle and fowl production systems used was 2729kt.This included 490kt P that was in the edible and inedible parts of the animal's body.The remainder(2230kt) was contained in the animal excreta.The transition efficiency from the feed was very low(only 18.3%).Most of the P in the animal's bodies was in the bones.According to calculations made,the P ratios([bone P/ total body P]×100) in the bones of pigs,meat chickens,and meat cows were 71.5%,71.1% and 71.6%,respectively.The total amount of P in the manure of pigs,cows and fowl was 2230kt in 2001,of which 717kt was estimated as being lost to the environment.The research results also indicated that the laying hen and pig systems contribute the most to environmental risk,with the amount of P going into the environment being 308kt for layers and 153kt for pigs,which contributed 43.0% and 21.3% of the total P going into the environment,respectively.Suggestions were also proposed on developing large scale animal production facilities with ways to decrease pollution in the future.

The authors report 14 cases of lymphocytic gastritis, 13 of which correspond to an endoscopic appearance of varioliform gastritis. Epigastric pain was present in 91.6% of cases. Varioliform pattern corresponded to an antral site in 69.2% of cases and to the body in 30.8% of cases. Lymphocytic gastritis was diagnosed in 7 cases (46%), 6 of which corresponded to a varioliform gastritis. An associated duodenal ulcer was noted in 28.5% of our cases of lymphocytic gastritis.


The question of anatomical connections between the visual system and the temporo‐occipital limbic cortex was investigated in 24 squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) with the utilization of stains for showing fine degenerating cortical fibers. Lesions of various size were placed in the geniculo‐pulvinar complex by electrocoagulation. Electrodes were usually inserted in the Horsley‐Clarke frontal plane, but in two cases lesions of the lateral geniculate body were made by an extracerebral approach.


Dr Andrew Birchenough is the lead author of a set of low-technology guidelines for assessing dredged material, commissioned by the IMO. He tells P&H that the first step in assessment is to take a good look at it.


We describe Begonia tandangii , a new species of Begonia sect. Baryandra from the Sierra Madre Mountain Range of Luzon Island, the Philippines. Begonia tandangii has a close resemblance to B. fenicis in gross morphology, differing in having leaf margin sparsely fringed with minute hairs (vs. glabrous or with minute hairs only on teeth) and capsules with broadly-ovate outline and an acuminate apex (vs. capsules with broadly-obovate outline and a rounded to truncate apex). Phylogenetic analyses of Philippines species of sect. Baryandra based on ITS sequences revealed that B. tandangii was clearly separated from B. fenicis . Begonia tandangii is currently known only from the type locality in a coastal forest of Baler, Aurora Province, which is in the neighborhood of Aurora Memorial National Park.


The advent of compatible color television has brought with it the need for several new types of test instruments to facilitate the adjustment of the specialized circuits required for generating, transmitting and receiving color television signals. This paper consists of descriptions of a selected group of test instruments which have been found particularly useful for routine operational tests in broadcasting plants and receiver service shops. Test generators which provide noise-free, artificial color signals are described, and techniques for using such signals for the adjustment of critical circuits in broadcast equipment and in home receivers are outlined briefly.


In this work, a $5 \times 5$ stacked patch rectangular phased array, along with its feeding network, is designed and fabricated in a multilayered low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrate. The single element of the phased array is a dual linear polarized stacked patch microstrip antenna which has improved impedance as well as 3-dB gain bandwidth due to the stacked patch approach. Based on the field distributions, the single element's orientation is optimized to reduce the mutual couplings between the adjacent elements for a wide beam scanning range over a wide frequency band. The features of multilayered implementation, low dielectric loss, and excellent packaging properties ensure a compact and high-efficiency phased array design and qualify this design as an antenna-in-packaging (AiP) design.


This paper documents the more than ten‐fold growth in the number of Standards and the program of work carried out by the ASA Standards directorate for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and for related international work with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electro‐technical Commission (IEC). Not only has there been a huge increase in the work effort, but the emphasis has changed greatly. Now we work to ensure that ISO Standards are fair to all players and to ensure that ANSI Standards are compatible with ISO. While major U.S. industries are participating in this effort, more participation is needed by industry and government. Case histories are used to show how our efforts in the standards process are currently helping some U.S. manufacturers to market their products worldwide. Major industries with some significant involvement include automotive, construction and agricultural equipment, computer and business machines, hearing conservation equi...


Abstract: Finite element analysis can be applied to smart structures with piezoelectric or magnetostrictive materials rather successfully when neither the applying electric field nor the generating AC strain is very large and when the linear relation can be supposed in the strain vs electric field or the strain vs stress. However, further improvement in the FEM algorithm is required for high field or high power drive of the piezoelectric system, where nonlinear and hysteretic characteristics should be taken into account, as well as heat generation. In this chapter, we will discuss the high power issues. There are three hysteresis loss components for piezoelectric vibrators, i.e., dielectric, elastic and piezoelectric losses. Mechanical quality factors play a significant role in the loss study of piezoelectrics, and they are basically related to all dielectric, elastic and piezoelectric loss factors. Besides, a higher quality factor at the antiresonance is usually observed in the PZT based experiments, in comparison with that at the resonance. ATILA is the unique software for adopting dielectric, elastic and piezoelectric losses separately to calculate the impedance/admittance curve.


When an antenna is first mounted on a test range and its radiation pattern measured, invariably one finds that the antenna is improperly aligned. In other words, the test positioner is not rotating about the antenna phase center (defined in some appropriate sense). Since for a variety of reasons it is desirable to measure the antenna by rotating about its phase center, a procedure is needed for its location. In this article, a method for locating the phase center of an antenna, from phase patterns measured on a misaligned antenna, is presented.


CaCO_(3) nano-powders were first prepared by the solid state reaction of Ca(NO_(3))_(2)4H_(2)O with (Na_2CO_3)10H_2O and additive Na_(5)P_(3)O_(10) at room temperature. The results showed that the nano-powders had average particle size of 19 nm and BET specific surface area of 36.3 m~(2)g~(-1). In this reaction, (Na_5P_3O_(10)) could effectively prohibit CaCO_(3) crystal growth and aggregate. The ions produced due to the electroionization of the (Na_5P_3O_(10)) could occupy the CaCO_(3) lattice-sites, or be Absorbed on CaCO_(3) crystal faces, therefore change the CaCO_(3) crystal surface energy. When the additive or cleaning amount was large enough to cover active sites on crystal faces, the increasing of additive or cleaning concentration could not further inhabit crystal growth.


Summary 3D Model-based Water-layer Demultiple (MWD) is a recently-developed technique for attenuating water-layerrelated multiples for marine streamer data. In particular, MWD targets the challenge of multiple attenuation in shallow water where Surface-Related Multiple Elimination (SRME) struggles. MWD works well in shallow water data by avoiding the crosstalk influence and preserving the spectrum of the input data. In this paper, we demonstrate that the application of MWD is not limited to streamer data, but can also be extended to Ocean Bottom Seismic (OBS) data. For OBS data, MWD can remove water-layer-related multiples and receiver ghost in one step. Therefore it removes the necessity of PZ summation for receiver ghost attenuation.


Abstract In the original redaction of his first literary work, the Latin comedy Philodoxeos (1424), Leon Battista Alberti (1404–72) named himself 'Lepidus' and the work circulated for a while as if it were the work of an ancient Roman comedian with this name. Later the author renamed himself, adding the first name 'Leo' (in Latin) or 'Leon' (in the vernacular) in front of Battista, and using it in the second version of his comedy (1434–37). Around 1440 he decided not to give his name as the author of two works: his unfinished Latin autobiography, the Vita (c. 1438–41) and the anonymous vernacular Protesta (c. 1441). Much of Alberti's authorship between the 1420s and 1440s thus revolved round pseudonyms, added names, and anonymity. The article suggests that such preoccupations were bound up with the two traumas of Alberti's birth: he was born illegitimate and into a family in exile from Florence. This concern with nomenclature and individuality is also linked to the fact that Alberti was the first early modern author to leave a verbal self-portrait in his autobiography and a visual self-portrait in the bronze medal he had cast, where his new added name is prominent. Both the religious and secular implications of the name 'Leo' seem to have played a part in Alberti's choice of his new name.


To understand the role of regulatory T cells in staphylococcal enterotoxin B‐induced toxic shock syndrome (TSS), we performed gene expression profiling in HLA‐DR3 transgenic mice using microarrays. We observed that at 3 hours after systemic exposure to SEB (10 μg), the splenic expression of FoxP3, a hall mark of regulatory T cells, was increased by 5 folds (p<0.005). In addition, other genes that regulate FoxP3+ Tregs were also significantly modulated by SEB. These include IL‐2R (27‐fold), IL‐2 (234‐fold), IL‐6 (689‐fold), IL‐21 (21‐fold), TGF‐B1 (0.7‐fold), IL‐17 (5.5‐fold) and IL‐22 (98‐fold). To further characterize the homeostasis of Tregs cells during superantigen‐induced TSS in vivo, HLA‐DR3 transgenic mice were first challenged with SEB and were administered BrdU in drinking water for 3 days. Mice were killed 3 days later and splenocytes analyzed by flow cytometry. We observed that in addition to FoxP3‐TCR Vβ8+ T cells, FoxP3+TCR Vβ8+ T cells also significantly expanded in vivo as evident from their BrdU staining patterns. This indicated that SEB is able to activate Tregs as well. Depletion of Tregs using anti‐CD25 antibodies (clone PC‐61, 500 ug/mouse) 2 days prior to SEB challenge did not significantly alter serum cytokine levels as compared to control mice treated with rat IgG and SEB. Thus, T regulatory cells have a minimal role in SEB‐induced TSS.


Samples from the Centinela Formation provided few and not well preserved ostracodes. They belong to 23 genera and 28 species. One taxa has previously been proposed: Urocythereis bertelsae Kielbowicz, 1988. Eleven species are questionably placed in their respective genera. All caparaces are moderately to strongly calcified and most of them are ornamented, medium in size and with amphidont hinge type. The studied microfauna suggests a shallow marine environment with moderate energy levels and temperate temperature.


May/June 2005 How safe would a car be if key components, such as the brakes and cruise control, didn't work together? Can you imagine flying in an airplane that wouldn't provide a warning if the landing gear didn't deploy? Would you buy a new computer that would not allow you to upgrade the mouse, keyboard, or other peripheral components? Would your new "USB memory stick" be useful if it only worked with one brand of computer? The kinds of interoperable plug-and-play control and communication systems that we take for granted in automobiles and consumer electronics are lacking in operating rooms (OR) today. Although intraoperative patient safety has improved significantly, the OR is still a complex and potentially hazardous environment where clinicians depend on teamwork and a patchwork of systems to mitigate hazards instead of using automated safety systems. Surprisingly, smart alarms and automated decision support tools are still absent from the clinical environment. Clinical engineers and clinicians have proposed innovative technical solutions to mitigate clinical hazards, but they cannot affordably implement novel solutions when real-time medical device data acquisition or control is required. Partly as a result of the lack of medical device interoperability, many selfevident improvements have been precluded, and safety Plug-and-Play in the Operating Room of the Future


War toys of different eras realize the dominant discourses of war of the time, and they do so in a way which allows children to enact these discourses and values in play. This paper examines war toys over the past 100 years before providing a detailed multimodal analysis of contemporary war toys distributed around the planet, mainly by global American corporations, which teach children about the importance of the quick decisive strike, the role of the team and the morality of technology. Through this they convey how conflicts are resolved in today's world, and why. Early on children are recruited not just into the war on terror but also the values of corporate capitalism. The paper ends by looking at some ethnographic data where children play with guns.


The effects of carrageenan on the texture parameters including hardness,elasticity,chewiness and moisture content,water activity of bread were studied.Results show that increasing the adding content of carrageenan in bread could decrease the specific volume and increase the yield rate.With the extending of the bread storage period,the hardness and chewiness could increase,but the hardness could keep decreasing.Adding carrageenan into bread could effectively reduce the hardness and chewiness,and the more carrageenan was added into,the more decrease of hardness and chewiness.Increasing the carrageenan content could reduce the decrease of bread elasticity,but the effect was not obvious.Increasing the carrageenan content could also reduce the decreasing trend of bread moisture content and water activity.It suggests that adding carrageenan into bread can suspend aging and improve the quality of bread in the storage period.


The electronic structure of the layered telluride Nb[sub 3]Ge[sub 0.9]Te[sub 6] was examined by performing tight-binding band calculations on the stoichiometric composition Nb[sub 3]GeTe[sub 6]. Due to the short interlayer Te[center dot][center dot][center dot]Te contacts, the top part of the Te p[sub z]-block bands of Nb[sub 3]GeTe[sub 6] is raised above the Fermi level. This gives rise to a partial p [yields] d electron transfer and to positive overlap populations for the interlayer Te[center dot][center dot][center dot]Te contacts, as in the case of the CdI[sub 2]-type ditellurides MTe[sub 2] (M = Ti, Nb). The Fermi surfaces calculated for Nb[sub 3]GeTe[sub 6] suggest that Nb[sub 3]Ge[sub 0.9]Te[sub 6] is a three-dimensional metal, with its electrical conductivity increasing along the b < c < a axis directions. 12 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.


In recent years, achievements of deep learning in face recognition have exceeded those of traditional machine learning methods do. To achieve better recognition performance, the architectures of the neural network tend to be deeper and more complex, which wastes the time and space. Aiming at this issue, a series of light convolutional neural network (Light CNN) has been proposed, which consume less hardware resources while has excellent performance. In this paper, we propose a Normalized Light CNN model modified from a Light CNN model. We introduced a normalized layer to this model in both training and test phase. The normalized layer normalizes the output features, making it represent images better. We evaluate our model on LFW dataset. The accuracy of face verification reaches 98.46%, which is better than the original model.


Objective To investigate on neurosurgical nurses' consent to health education and its influential factor , in order to adopt eligible healthy education and decline the influential factors which affect the effectiveness of healthy education. Methods Ninety neurosurgical nurses in grade three A hospital were investigated with self-designed questionnaire. Results 74.44%~82. 22% nurses ratified face to face or using instruction handbook to do the healthy education for neurosurgical patients. There was different attitude between higher seniority and lower seniority nurses (x2=9. 61,P=0.002) for health education, and between nurses with different educational background(x2=8.773, P=0.003.87.78% nurses thought that deficiency of the nursing human resources was the main factor which affected the effectiveness of health education. Conclusions From nurses' point of view, there is some difficulty to carry out health instruction for patients in neurosurgery department. It is more suitable to adopt face to face instruction and select materials with the characteristics of repeated reading or convenient for looking up. Insufficience of nursing human resources is still the main factor which affects the effectiveness of health education.

The invention discloses a tandem-type collimator pair. At least two grooves are formed in a collimator base; a left collimator and a right collimator which are opposite to each other are arranged in each groove to form a unit collimator pair; tail optical fibers of adjacent two unit collimator pairs are connected in series with each other; and the tail optical fiber of the left collimator of the first unit collimator pair and the tail optical fiber of the right collimator of the last unit collimator pair are led out. According to an optical fiber gas sensor manufactured by adopting the tandem-type collimator pair, light rays enter a spectrum analyzer or a gas detection device after emitting out from the tail optical fiber of the last collimator; when a gas to be detected passes through tandem-type collimator pair, gas absorption intensity changes, and parameters of the gas can be determined by detecting the relative change rate of the gas absorption intensity; a gas absorption law can be validated; the concentration of the gas can be detected; the tandem-type collimator pair is high in sensitivity, high in response speed and large in dynamic range; and the optical fiber gas sensor using the tandem-type collimator pair is accurate in detection.


Here, we report a ruthenium-catalysed redox-neutral α-alkylation of unsaturated alcohols through the synergistic relay of olefin isomerization (chain-walking) and 'umpolung' hydrazone addition, which impeccably takes advantage of the interaction of the two comparatively inefficient clause reactions to enable them to occur in an efficient way. This transformation shows the compatibility of hydrazone-type 'carbanions' and active protons in a one-pot reaction and at the same time achieves the first case of a Grignard-type nucleophilic addition using olefinic alcohols as latent carbonyls, providing a higher yield of the corresponding secondary alcohol than the classical hydrazone addition to aldehydes. A broad scope of unsaturated alcohols and hydrazones, including some complex structures, was successfully tested by this method shows the versatility of this approach and its suitability as an alternative efficient way to build up secondary and tertiary alcohols.


Our goal is to recover a complete 3D model from a depth image of an object. Existing approaches rely on user interaction or apply to a limited class of objects, such as chairs. We aim to fully automatically reconstruct a 3D model from any category. We take an exemplar-based approach: retrieve similar objects in a database of 3D models using view-based matching and transfer the symmetries and surfaces from retrieved models. We investigate completion of 3D models in three cases: novel view (model in database); novel model (models for other objects of the same category in database); and novel category (no models from the category in database).


Technology advanced to remote observation of patients from hospitals to homes. The aim of remote monitoring can be tracing the illness or the situation of patient. When accidents or sudden injuries occurs, time while patients are being transferred to hospital is important. Here, remote monitoring is helpful for immediate medical interventions in highly critical cases. In this study M-Vital was developed for detecting vital signs like temperature, pulse, respiration rate and saturation. Location of patient was detected via embedded GPS module. These information were automatically sent to National Emergency Call Center via SMS. Thus, possible human originated errors and time because of thrill or communication were aimed to be minimized. Besides, these vital parameters were saved and evaluated via an expert system to detect a vital problem. In case of a vital problem, emergency code was sent to National Emergency Call Center (112) or to any other special number. Another usage area of M-Vital is detection and tracing Covid-19. Temperature, respiration rate and saturation are the main symptoms. This study has a novelty since wide variety of effective parameters are included. Besides, it has a high potential for using in hospitals to ease the load of medical staff.


Two words u and v are said to be k-abelian equivalent if, for each word x of length at most k, the number of occurrences of x as a factor of u is the same as for v. We study some combinatorial properties of k-abelian equivalence classes. Our starting point is a characterization of k-abelian equivalence by rewriting, so-called k-switching. We show that the set of lexicographically least representatives of equivalence classes is a regular language. From this we infer that the sequence of the numbers of equivalence classes is $$\mathbb {N}$$-rational. We also show that the set of words defining k-abelian singleton classes is regular.


The growing integration of technology into education, particularly in the STEM fields, has tended to focus on its objective advantages, ignoring its affective potential. To explore this potential, based on some principles of Kansei/Affective Engineering, an initial analysis was conducted considering 501 interventions in a conversation among six students about a previous e-learning experience. The analysis revealed the need for personalized feedback, a self-adapted pace, and the possibility to express. Based on the identified needs, three activities (applets based on dynamic reasoning and contextualized in the movement of the Sun) were designed to explore the affective value of the tool through the feedback it provided. Thirteen engineering students at a Japanese university participated in the experiment and the results were analyzed considering the type (task-focus/constructivist, self-focus/motivational) and purpose of the feedback, as well as some indicators based on the Instructional Feedback Orientation Scale. The model constructed for each student revealed that those who attributed a higher value to feedback showed a greater relation between the purpose of the feedback received and the reaction selected (completion-positive, correction-negative). Furthermore, it was found that the proposed model can inform future designs based on the potential of the feedback to promote positive reactions.


In simulating fluid/solid-particle multiphase -flows, various methods are available. One approach is the combined Euler-Lagrange method, which simulates the fluid phase flow in the Eulerian framework and the discrete phase (particle) motion in the Lagrangian framework simultaneously. The Lagrangian approach, where particle motion is determined by the current state of the fluid phase flow, is also called the discrete phase model (DPM), in the context of numerical flow simulation. In this method, the influence of the particle motions on the fluid flow can be included (two-way interactions) but are more commonly excluded (one-way interactions, when the discrete phase concentration is dilute. The other approach is to treat the particle number concentration as a continuous species, a necessarily passive quantity determined by the fluid flow, with no influences from the particles on the fluid flow (one-way interactions only), except to the extent the discrete phase "continuum" alters the overall fluid properties, such as density. In this paper, we compare these two methods with experimental data for an indoor environmental chamber. The effects of injection particle numbers and the related boundary conditions are investigated. In the Euler-Lagrange interaction or DPM model for incompressible flow, the Eulerian continuous phase is governed by the Reynolds-averaged N-S (RANS) equations. The motions of particles are governed by Newton's second law. The effects of particle motions are communicated to the continuous phase through a force term in the RANS equations. The second formulation is a pure Eulerian type, where only the particle-number concentration is addressed, rather than the motion of each individual particle. The fluid flow is governed by the same RANS equations without the particle force term. The particle-number concentration is simulated by a species transport equation. Comparisons among the models and with experimental and literature data are presented. Particularly, results with different numbers of released particles in the DPM will be investigated.Copyright © 2012 by ASME


In 2011, Mathurin and colleagues demonstrated, in a ground-breaking pilot study from France and Belgium, that rescue liver transplantation could save the lives of carefully selected patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis who had failed medical treatment (1). Their report challenged the view that patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis were unsuitable candidates for liver transplantation, which has prevailed for many years (2).


In this paper we have analyzed the performance of a general null steering algorithm by simulation studies for the expected OISR and standard deviation of OISR for different signal to noise level and different number of samples. We have also studied a special case of the general approach and compared the expected value of OISR using the definition and the approximate expression of the expected value of OISR The results show that the approximation E{OSIR} (eq.8) is not accurate enough even in the case where higher SNR, large T, and distanced sources were used. These results are useful for predicting the asymptotic performance of an open-loop adaptive null steering system under different signal to noise level and different number of snapshots.

E-mail: email@example.com The Chi-Chi earthquake, also known as the "921 earthquake," struck Taiwan at 01:47:12 a.m. local time on September 21, 1999, leaving 2,415 people dead, 29 missing, and 11,305 injured. In 1999, there was no formal disaster medical assistance team (DMAT) nor a contemporary urban search and rescue (USAR) team available. Instead, domestic and international rescue teams arrived without coordination. Supplies were excessive but did not meet the needs of the population due to inadequate logistical management. A lack of incident command systems (ICS) further exacerbated a chaotic scenario of poor team coordination and organization. Aftermath management was another issue. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had been mentioned, but in-depth data were not available in emergency medicine society. Conflicts of interest between local medical facilities of disaster sites and medical teams of centers from other cities/counties occurred during the recovery phase. A more sophisticated and comprehensive understanding of disaster management was required. After the earthquake, Taiwan began to reinforce its disaster preparedness and response system by establishing a modern USAR team, initiating a DMAT in 2000, founding six regional emergency medical operation centers (REMOCs) in 2004, and creating a regional chemical and radiation accidents medical coordination center in 2005. In 2008, the DMAT, the regional chemical and radiation accidents coordination center, and the hospital incident command system (HICS) program were integrated into the REMOCs project, which was aimed at promoting resource utilization and information sharing as well as improving the quality and effi ciency of disaster preparedness and response. In the 20 years following the Chi-Chi earthquake, emergency physicians in Taiwan participated in many phases of disaster management including planning, preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery for various natural and technological disasters. Taiwan confronted several severe disasters after the 921 earthquake, including Typhoon Nari (2001), which devastated the economy and prompted severe damage and fatalities in northern and central Taiwan; Typhoon Morakot, which wrecked southern Taiwan in 2009; the Alishan Forest Railway accident, which saw heavy casualties (2011); aircraft crash events in Pen-Hu (2014) and Taipei (2015); the Kaohsiung gas explosion (2014); the tragic dust blast incident at the Formosa Fun Coast water park (2015); the 2016 Southern Taiwan earthquake; and the 2018 Hua-Lien earthquake. Emergency medicine providers who experienced these and other catastrophic events should be encouraged to reflect on their experiences, learn from those refl ections, and apply what was learned in the context of future disasters. In this issue of the Journal of Acute Medicine (JACME), Dr. Lin reviewed scientific publications from Taiwan related to disaster medicine available from PubMed, Scopus, and the Web of Science over the past 20 years. Dr. Lin et al. reviewed the initial emergency response of the 2015 Formosa Fun Coast dust explosion disaster and the corresponding outcomes of 33 major burn victims at a regional hospital without a burn unit, while Dr. Chou et al. investigated whether functional exercise can increase the famil-

In this study, lattice Boltzmann method is applied to investigate the natural convection flows utilizing nanofluids in a square enclosure. Al2O3 and CuO water based nanofluids with 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9% nanoparticle volume fraction is used as the fluid. This study has been carried out for the pertinent parameters in the following ranges: the Rayleigh number of nanofluid,Ra=103, 104,105and 106, the volumetric fraction of nanoparticles 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9% and the aspect ratio (Ar) of the enclosure is 1.0. The effects of solid volume fraction of nanofluids on hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics are investigated and discussed. The average and local Nusselt numbers, streamlines, temperature contours and vertical component of velocity for different values of solid volume fraction and Rayleigh number are illustrated. Results show that by increasing Rayleigh number and nanoparticle volume fraction, average Nusselt number increases in whole range of Rayleigh numbers that lead to decreasing thermal boundary layer and enhancement of heat transfer of fluid in the cavity. As expected, Al2O3 with higher heat conductivity has higher Nusselt number with respect to CuO with lower heat conductivity.


The article establishes links between the elements of the tax commitments and prices. Having examined the data of the extractive industry enterprises the author comes to the conclusion that with the growth of the enterprise performance productivity the tax share in the commodity price will be increasing up to certain level. Price influencing factors and their relationships were studied/ the problem of the tax influence on price was considered both from supply and demand points of view. Competitors' activities on different markets was also examined.


This paper presents a compensation method of light source dynamic to improve a measurement stability of sample's light transmittance using our fiber optic-based sensor. In principle, dynamic input and transmitted lights are measured for insertion loss calculation of an empty tube. The loss is compensated in the actual light transmittance calculation of a solution sample. Comparison experiments were conducted with double concentration of red syrup solutions. The coefficient of variation (CoV) was used as the stability metric. Results from 2 trials of our double concentration solution samples showed that the COV ranges around 0.987-1.411%. The results from our dynamic compensation approach strongly demonstrated superior measurement stability to the uncompensated approach in which its CoV ranges around 9.075-9.808%.


Proliferation of the vascular endothelium of the parathyroid glands of dogs exposed to ozone inhalation was studied. Direct observation of mitoses in the endothelial cells were made. Focal hemorrhages in the form of the presence of erythrocytes, clotting, and fibrin deposition in the extravascular spaces were seen. Ultrastructural analysis of transverse section of blood vessels showed intravascular platelet aggregation. Lymphoid cells were observed in the lumen of the blood vessels as well as in the perivascular areas as infiltrates. The possibility is discussed that present vascular reactions signify the morphologic equivalent of an immunologic response.


Mo/HZSM-5 was prepared from HZSM-5 zeolite that was pretreated with NH4F at different temperatures. The results of Al-27 magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR show that the pretreatment with NH4F at 623 K causes serious dealumination on HZSM-5, forming a new wide peak at around delta = - 12.7, which is attributed to AlO6-xFx species. An enhanced interaction between MoO3 and HZSM-5 is confirmed by NH3 temperature-programmed desorption and Al-27 MAS NMR characterization for Mo/HZSM-5 samples, and this interaction becomes more obvious when the pretreatment was carried out at a higher temperature. The coked Mo/HZSM-5 samples prepared with NH4F-pretreated HZSM-5 were characterized by thermogravimetry and temperature-programmed oxidation, and the results show that the NH4F pretreatment improves the catalyst resistance to the coke formation. This is related not only to the decrease in Bronsted acid sites on Mo/HZSM-5, but also to the compatibility of the amounts of Bronsted acid sites and the active molybdenum species.


A material suitable for the propagation of acoustic waves on its surface comprises a substrate of semiconductor material, of which there exists an oxide, excluding the class of piezoelectric materials, the substrate having at least one flat surface. A layer of thermally grown oxide of the semiconductor material, is disposed on the flat surface. A film of titanium, approximately 300 angstroms thick, is disposed on at least a part of the layer of oxide. A layer of vacuum-deposited metal is disposed on the film of titanium. A layer of a piezoelectrid vacuum-sputtered material is on the layer of vacuum-deposited metal and on the oxide. The semiconductor material may be silicon, the oxide may be silicon dioxide, the piezoelectric material may be zinc oxide, and the metal may be gold. The material further comprises an interdigitated electrode structure disposed upon the piezoelectric material, which, when an electrical signal is applied to it, can cause propagation of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) upon the surface of the piezoelectric material, the combination comprising a SAW transducer.


Abstract In 1975, Robert Shuman wrote an article that highlighted ways that secondary educators could support struggling readers within their own content-area classrooms. Some of the points made are still currently supported by research while many others have either been challenged by literacy scholars or expanded in new and exciting ways. This article reviews each of the recommendations Shuman identified with new information and research to discuss how the recommendation would be noted within today's secondary classrooms.


Conjugate wave holographic interferometry (CWHI) is a non- contact method for measuring deformation and strain on ordinary surfaces. It has not been widely used, however. In this paper three experiments are performed: the measurement of displacement in a simply supported beam, the measurement of the crack mouth opening displacement in a notched specimen, and a qualitative study of thermal expansion in a simply supported beam. The experimental results agreed well with the values predicted by theory. Additionally, the thermal expansion study indicated that CWHI can show the interaction of various parts of the test apparatus which can aid in interpreting experimental results. Overall, it can be concluded that CWHI is a useful method of isolating and quantitatively determining in-plane deformations with submicron precision. Based on these results, it appears that CWHI would be useful for certain nondestructive evaluation applications on components where displacements and/or strain would provide critical information. Although CWHI has only been demonstrated in a laboratory setting, its potential for nondestructive evaluation of structural composites and materials appears promising. One such example is its use for examining the behavior of graded composite materials under mechanical or thermal load. This is presently being investigated. In general, the method would be appropriate for applications where Moire interferometry could not be used.


The western Mediterranean geophyte Anemone palmata L. is one of the most endangered angiosperm taxa in France. The biological and ecological characteristics of French populations are contrasted with those of populations from near the centre of the species distribution in east Spain. A Correspondence Analysis discriminates the French and Spanish populations according to substrate and the composition of the plant communities where they grow. The karyological study reveals that east Spanish plants are autotetraploid, whilst the French are all diploid. In addition, morphological differences were registered, Spanish plants generally being more vigorous. French populations consist mostly of senile plants, without or with very low rates of sexual reproduction, whereas the populations from Spain include all age groups with an important percentage of juvenile plants. The main factors which could affect the French populations are habitat destruction and modification of plant communities due to land-abandonment. Conservation measures should be supported by immediate protection of the French localities and habitats to prevent the total decline of this rare species. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002, 140, 95–114.


Capoeira players are best known for their syncopated swings, sweeps, and slides, collectively known as ginga in Brazil. How does this particular mode of action function, and what roles does it assume during games of capoeira angola?


The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a three-dimensional model in learning of cardiac anatomy. The study was conducted at AJA University of Medical Sciences in 3 phases in 2013: 1. Preparation of three-dimensional model image of the heart according with reference to Gray's Anatomy for Students (2010-1st edition). 2. Forming two groups of nursing students; teaching with lecture plus PowerPoint slides to control groups and the first experimental group additional training with heart sheep and the second experimental group additional teaching with three dimensional model. 3. Taking similar pre-test and post-test exam and statistical analysis. 4. Analysis of pre-test and post-test scores in each group with t-test showed significant differences (p≤0.001). There was a significant difference in the mean of the first experiment with the heart sheep and the second experiment with the three-dimensional model (p= 0.016) but it didn't cause significant difference in comparison with pre-test scores between groups (p = 0.28). Three-dimensional model had positive effect on anatomy learning of cardiac anatomy and it did cause significant difference in comparison with both heart sheep dissection and traditional educational method such as PowerPoint slides.


Healthcare delivery systems are nearly universally organized according to the medical model. European countries surveyed in this study are no exception. In this arrangement, primary-care providers (known as general practitioners (GPs) or family doctors) exist either as independent entities, or in group practices. The latter are usually small with a few (e.g., three to four) doctors that get together to form a practice.


Conveyor belts are used from a long period of time, in most industry branches, as well as there where a potentially explosive atmosphere could occur. When in operation, light conveyor belts may lead to important hazards and risks, among which electrostatic charging is identified, dangerous in regard of ignition of flammable substances. Discharging the static electricity field accumulated during operating of light conveyor belts show hazards of igniting explosive atmospheres generated by mixtures of air with gas, vapor, mists and/or combustible dusts/powders. The paperwork refers to the test method and test stand used to determine the electrostatic field generated by light conveyor belts in operation, for a subsequent assessment from a point of view of igniting the combustible/flammable substances and of igniting the explosive atmospheres as consequence of potential discharge.


ABSTRACT Asymptotic distributions of the standardized estimators of the squared and non squared multiple correlation coefficients under nonnormality were obtained using Edgeworth expansion up to O(1/n). Conditions for the normal-theory asymptotic biases and variances to hold under nonnormality were derived with respect to the parameter values and the weighted sum of the cumulants of associated variables. The condition for the cumulants indicates a compensatory effect to yield the robust normal-theory lower-order cumulants. Simulations were performed to see the usefulness of the formulas of the asymptotic expansions using the model with the asymptotic robustness under nonnormality, which showed that the approximations by Edgeworth expansions were satisfactory.


: The Matrix Laboratory (Matlab) software was used to program the Plot function, and the hyperbolic curves of binary copolymer composites were drawn successfully by inputting the reactivity ratio of monomers. From the hyperbolic curve, the binary copolymerization behavior of two monomers can be observed simultaneously, and the varying regularity between the second monomer and the corresponding polymer composition can be visualized in one graph, which will be helpful to deepen the understanding for the copolymerization reaction of two monomers.


This study introduces a combination of mass spectrometry-based analytical approaches with little or no sample preparation for the study of zebrafish (Danio rerio) lipid metabolism during early development (0 through 96 h post-fertilization, hpf). Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) imaging and nanoelectrospray (nESI) MS were used. Embryos (N = 107) were placed onto filter paper squares and analysed by DESI-MS imaging. Embryos were arranged in rows with each one corresponding to a different developmental time, so that each DESI-MS image contained arrays of samples at different hpf. After completion of DESI-MS acquisition, the arrays were cut into strips of paper, isolating each embryo, which was subsequently inserted into a nESI tip and analysed. All experiments were performed using a linear ion trap mass spectrometer. DESI-MS images were acquired in the positive ion mode using acetonitrile doped with 10 ppm AgNO3, which allowed for the detection of cytosolic neutral lipids, such as cholesteryl esters (CE), diacylglicerols (DAG), triacylglycerols (TAG), squalene, and ubiquinone. For the nESI, experiments were run in full mass scan and MS/MS, in both negative and positive ion mode, using a mixture of dimethylformamide and acetonitrile to detect membrane phospholipids (e.g. phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylglycerols). Principal component analysis was used to explore DESI-MS images and nESI data in an unsupervised fashion. The combination of DESI-MS imaging, providing chemical and spatial location, and nanoESI, providing a broader and more extensive structural information, showed that the lipid content changes dramatically over the first days of development. Accumulation of DAG and TAG, which are usually concentrated in the embryos yolk sac as an important storage for early development, were observed between 0 and 48 hpf. Embryos at the intermediate phase of development (24 hpf) were distributed between those of 0 and 48 hpf, reflecting the dynamics associated with development and might be correlated with TAG consumption and de novo synthesis. After 72 and 96 hpf, samples differed from prior developmental stages by the content of squalene, ubiquinone, and CE 22 : 5 (overexpressed), while the TAG content decreased. Further decrease of TAGs and ubiquinone occurred between 72 and 96 hpf. These observations indicated that zebrafish embryos rely entirely on the yolk sac for the nutrients needed to sustain growth and survival during the first four days of development. Yolk lipids are the likely source of TAGs, as well as cholesterol, a required component of cell membranes and a precursor for bile acids. The abundance of ubiquinone can be tied to zebrafish embryo growth, differentiation and organogenesis, and activation of mitochondria.


We present a new asteroseismic analysis of KIC~6048106, a \textit{Kepler} Algol-type eclipsing binary star in a circularized orbit with $P_\rm{orb}$=1.559361$\pm$0.000036~d. Based on a physical model for the binary and its corresponding set of fundamental parameters, ($T_\rm{eff}=7033\pm187~K, ~M_\rm{1}=1.55\pm0.11M_{\odot}$ and $T_\rm{eff}=4522\pm103~K,~M_\rm{2}=0.33\pm0.07M_{\odot}$, respectively for the primary and the secondary component), we obtained the residual light curve after removal of the full binary model, including a 290-day activity cycle for the secondary component (Samadi Gh. et al.\,2018). In this work, we used the method of Fourier analysis of the residual light curve in combination with least squares optimization for the frequency analysis. We detected seven dominant, independent gravity ($g$) modes as well as 34 low-amplitude acoustic ($p$) modes. The $g$ modes in the range $1.96-2.85$ d$^{-1}$ have a mean spacing of $\Delta\Pi_\rm{mean}=1517.92\pm131.54$~s. Though of much lower amplitude, additional significant frequencies were detected in the intervals $7.49-15.2$ d$^{-1}$ and $19-22.5$ d$^{-1}$ (i.e. in the $p$ mode region), with corresponding dominant modes $\nu_\rm{max_\rm{1}}=11.745\pm0.001$ d$^{-1}$ and $\nu_\rm{max_\rm{2}}=20.960\pm0.002$ d$^{-1}$. From its position in the H-R diagram, we conclude that the primary component is the source of the detected hybrid pulsations. Consequently, the pulsation constants, Q, of the high frequencies cover the range $0.028-0.064$~d. Furthermore, $\nu_\rm{43} $ (19.037$\pm$0.002 d$^{-1}$) might correspond to the fundamental radial mode (Q = 0.033$\pm$0.007 d). The other frequencies in the range $19-22.5$ d$^{-1}$ could be radial or non-radial overtone modes. Moreover, the low-amplitude $p$ modes show an equidistant splitting by $f_\rm{orb}$, which we interpret as tidal splitting following theoretical predictions.
