Social welfare can be said to be a knot in the network of relations that are connected by dense lines and lines. We must enter into the field of possibilities by reading various ideas, reading, and listening to various ideas to solve the complex knot. For this purpose, this study started from the awareness of Adorno 's theory and practice. It is also a new challenge of social welfare that can answer the question of whether gauging is possible between theory and practice. Based on the book of Adorno analyzing social problems in the consciousness of various problems, he paid attention to the social welfare implication of the Negative Dialekt. Adorno 's Negative Dialekt is an open - minded thought to find an occasion of thought, not a fixed, unchanging, closed thought. Social welfare is changing, and there are innumerable layers of incidents and unpredictable events. Social welfare is practice itself in realizing it in society, and it works in practice and theories are created in the mutual influence of the networks of relations. The social worker needs an attitude of asking questions to solve the generated relationships. Through his criticism theory in social welfare, we can reconstruct another practice intervention in social welfare in terms of combining theory and practice. Even if practice is not self-evident, what can be evident is that it comes from the contradiction of practice and theory. We must be able to face this phenomenon, to engage in various discussions in the phenomenon, and to open up another possibility. I tried to find this out of the Negative Dialekt. As a changeable social welfare, Adorno's 'Negative Dialekt' in various meanings and on various levels can suggest various implications to us.

The effect of 1st irrigation time after sunrise, set at 30 to 120 minutes after sunrise at 30 minutes interval, on fruit cracking was investigated. As the 1st irrigation was delayed, root zone EC increased, while the water content decreased, with a greater daily fluctuation of EC and medium water content. Because of this unstable situation in the root zone as affected by late 1st irrigation, plant growth was suppressed, fruit size decreased and the blossom end rot increased, while fruit cracking decreased. Both fruit cracking and blossom end rot were more increased in late period, from March, than those of early and mid period The incidence of fruit cracking remarkably increased in the 30 and 60 minute treatments and decreased in the 90 and 120 minute treatments. The number of cracked fruits in the 90 minute treatment decreased by 2 fruits per plant as compared to that in 60 minute treatment. The number of fruits with blossom end rot also decreased by 4 fruits per plant as compared to the 120 minute treatment, where the yield was the greatest.

This paper deals with the analytic and FEM analysis of sloshing frequency response for incompressible, invicid and irrotational flow in two dimensional rectangular tank. We use Laplace equation based on potential theory as governing equation. For small amplitude sloshing motion, the linearized free surface condition was applied and the solution was calculated by the separation of variables. To avoid the divergence of response at resonance frequencies, artificial damping is introduced. Also, this problem was solved by FEM using 9-node elements in orther to compare with the analytical solution.


This article examines the impact of the ultimate ownership structure on transferences of corporate control during the MA process and the improvement of investment efficiency after MA than before based on MA events of China's Listed Companies during 2007 and 2009.The result suggests that the tendency of transferences of corporate control has a significant association with the degree of the separation of control rights from cash flow rights,and capital investment efficiency has a significant change after the MA.Specifically:(1)the degree of the separation of control rights from cash flow rights of the ultimate controllers has a significant negative correlation with the tendency of transferences of Corporate Control.And further research shows that the state-owned ultimate controllers are more prone to loss control rights after the MA.(2)the degree of non-efficient investments after the MA is significantly decreased than that before MA,and it is more evident for the MA transactions without transferences of corporate Control to decrease the degree of non-efficient investments than those with transferences of corporate control.This article provides empirical evidence for the Efficiency Theory and the Synergetic Effects Hypothesis of the MA in general and for the Free Cash Flow Hypothesis and the Hubris Hypothesis in the case of control transferring,which enriches the research literatures of corporate governance and corporate management.


: In agriculture, fertilizer and fungicide application are two important techniques for high yield. For the fertilization, it is known that the block and strip-like fertilization are common practice. These methods can result in the patches of soil nutrients. In this case, the growth orientation of roots towards soil nutrients is important for absorbing the heterogeneous nutrient. For the fungicide application, the fungicide can permeate into the soil through leaching, which directly or indirectly affect the soil environment and the root-soil interaction. However, it is not clear that if soil microorganisms can affect crop root growth orientation and yield. This paper conducted a field experiment in 2015 and 2016. The maize and potato were planted to explore the relationship of soil microorganisms and nutrient patches on crop growth and yield. We first generated the soil nutrient patch by the interlaced fertilization. Then, the broad-spectrum fungicides were applied by watering. The crop yield, plant biomass (including root), root biomass and the root foraging precision were measured. The two years field experiment demonstrated that watering fungicides and nutrient patches can significantly affect the plant biomass, yield, root biomass and root growth orientation. Importantly, we observed a significant interaction between the fungicide and nutrient patches with a positive relationship. The significant increase in maize plant biomass resulted from the application of fungicides was found under the heterogeneous fertilization condition. While the significant increase in maize plant biomass promoted by nutrient patches was observed when the fungicides was applied. Besides, the results suggested that the application of fungicide can benefit the adaptation of crops to the heterogeneous fertilization, because that both the root foraging precision of maize and potato were promoted by the application of fungicide. Moreover, there was significant increase in the root foraging precision of potato. But, the effect of fungicide and nutrient patches on plant growth was significantly affected by the crop types and planting years, and is complex. Therefore, the further studies will be necessary to explore the role of fungicide on the adaption of crop to nutrient patches and the mechanism on the growth orientation of roots towards soil nutrients. These studies should be based on the various crops, ecological environments and cultivation practices, which will be potential value to understanding the effects of pesticide application on the use of chemical fertilizers.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Misoprostol,Prostaglandin E2 suppositories and COOK balloon catheter in induction of labor at term.Methods 91 women of full-term pregnancy with indications of induced abortion,and cervical Bishop score <6 were randomly divided into Misoprostol group (31 cases),Prostaglandin E2 group (32 cases) and COOK balloon group (28 women).The improvement of cervical conditions was compared before and after the application.The uterine contraction,labor time,fetus delivery method,situation of maternal and newborn were determined.Results The obvious effective rate in Prostaglandin E2 suppositories was 78.6%,in COOK balloon group it was 75.0%,both were significantly higher than those in Misoprostol group.However,the side effect such as placental abruption was found in Prostaglandin E2 group.The cesarean section ratios in the COOK balloon group and the prostaglandin E2 group were much the same,but both were lower than those of the Misoprostol group.Conclusion Although the efficacy of Misoprostol is much weak,it is convenient and cheap.COOK balloon catheter method is the same as prostaglandin E2 in induced labor at term,it is safe and has less side effect.

Key words:
Misoprostol;  Prostaglandin E2;  COOK balloon catheter;  Induction of labor at term


Several factors influencing the use-effectiveness of the condom have been investigated in the Oxford Family Planning Association contraceptive study which includes 17000 married women who were ages 25-39 when they were recruited between 1968-74. Only duration of use and womans age parity and cigarette smoking habits were found to be of importance. The lowest predicted failure rate (0.6/100 woman years) was for nonsmoking low parity women ages 40-44 who had used the condom for more than 4 years. The highest predicted rate (14.7/100 women-years) was for currently smoking high parity women ages 25-34 who had used the condom for up to 2 years. (authors)


In the present study, the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) with cancer was investigated using autopsy records. Among the 83,829 autopsy records between the years 2005 and 2009, 74,869 cases ≥40 years were eligible for the analysis. The cases with DM and cancers were selected, and the risk of cancer was estimated as the odds ratio (OR) by logistic regression analysis with the adjustment of age. Among the 74,869 cases, there were 49,676 males and 25,193 females. DM was noted in 4,901 males (9.9%) and 2,066 females (8.2%). In the liver, the OR for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was increased to 1.25 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.12‐1.39, P<0.001) and to 1.22 (95% CI, 1.00‐1.49, P<0.05) in males and females with DM, respectively. The ORs for inva‐ sive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas, cancers of the thyroid and kidney were not increased, and the ORs for cancers of the lung, stomach, colon/rectum, biliary tract, prostate, breast and uterus appeared to be decreased. The analyzed autopsy cases corresponded to only 1.4% of deceased individuals aged ≥40 years, and the ORs for cancers in DM estimated using the autopsy records may warrant a careful consideration. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to confirm the increased OR for HCC in DM by a cross‐sectional analysis using autopsy records.


This study was undertaken to classify Enterobacter sakazakii isolates from 13 powdered infant formula products, 25 powdered weaning diet products, and 33 weaning diet ingredients on polymerse chain reaction (PCR) methods. The numbers of the isolates from 1 powdered infant formula product, 7 powdered weaning diet products, and 6 weaning diet ingredients were 1, 14, and 8, respectively. The contaminated ingredients were 1 rice powder, 2 millet powders, 2 vegetable powders, and 1 fruit and vegetable premix. PCR with the primer of repetitive extragenic palindromic element (REP-PCR) and random amplification of polymorphic DNA(RAPD) were effective in discriminating among the isolates, but tRNA-PCR and PCR with the primer of 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS-PCR) were not. Some of E. sakazakii isolates from vegetable powders, fruit and vegetable premix, and millets powders were classified into the clonal groups based on the DNA patterns in the REP-PCR and RAPD analysis. A close genetic relationship among the isolates from some of the powdered weaning diet products and the rice powder was also detected in the cluster analysis based on the DNA patterns in RAPD.


The usual dimensionality reduction algorithms were often affected by data distributions,small size samples and others.In order to solve the problems mentioned above,an algorithm was proposed to obtain an optimal set of uncorrelated margin discriminant vectors by solving the dual quadratic optimal problem of the modified support vector machine(SVM),which was based on the similarity between the optimal discriminant vector of linear discriminant analysis(LDA) and the classification hyperplane normal vector of SVM,and the fact that the optimal set of uncorrelated discriminant vectors was superior to the optimal set of orthogonal discriminant vectors,then the algorithm was expanded to solve nonlinear feature extraction problems using kernel technology.The results show that under the same parameters and k-nearest neighbor classifier for training and testing,the classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm is higher than that of SVM and recursive support vector machine(RSVM) for the public data sets Waveform,Heart,Diabetis,and doesn't appear that the classification accuracy becomes lower when the number of extraction dimensions is bigger than the optimal number,which reflects its validity for extracting uncorrelated eigenvectors from the samples.


Within the predator guild, wolverines (Gulo gulo (L., 1758)) have evolved as generalist predators and scavengers on prey killed by other predators. The recovery of wolves (Canis lupus L., 1758) in the boreal forests of southern Norway during the late 1990s may have triggered consequent recolonization by wolverines through increased carcass availability. We investigated winter foraging behavior of wolverines in the boreal forest with regard to wolf, lynx (Lynx lynx (L., 1758)), and red fox (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)) presence. We followed 55 wolverine tracks in the snow from at least nine individuals for a total of 237 km during the winters of 2003–2004. We documented 19 moose (Alces alces (L., 1758)) and 4 bird carcasses, and no successful hunts. Wolverines did not follow guild species trails directly to carcasses; however, they did change their movement patterns after red fox encounters. While wolverines were more active at higher elevations, the probability of encountering a wolf was higher at lower elev...


Objective:Risk-prediction models offer potential advantages over physician predictions of outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU). Our systematic review compared the accuracy of ICU physicians' and scoring system predictions of ICU or hospital mortality of critically ill adults. Data Source:MEDLINE (1966–2005), CINAHL (1982–2005), Ovid Healthstar (1975–2004), EMBASE (1980–2005), SciSearch (1980–2005), PsychLit (1985–2004), the Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2005), PubMed "related articles," personal files, abstract proceedings, and reference lists. Study Selection:We considered all studies that compared physician predictions of ICU or hospital survival of critically ill adults to an objective scoring system, computer model, or prediction rule. We excluded studies if they focused exclusively on the development or economic evaluation of a scoring system, computer model, or prediction rule. Data Extraction and Analysis:We independently abstracted data and assessed study quality in duplicate. We determined summary receiver operating characteristic curves and areas under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves ± se and summary diagnostic odds ratios. Data Synthesis:We included 12 observational studies of moderate methodological quality. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves for seven studies was 0.85 ± 0.03 for physician predictions compared with 0.63 ± 0.06 for scoring system predictions (p = .002). Physicians' summary diagnostic odds ratios derived from the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves were significantly higher (12.43; 95% confidence interval 5.47, 27.11) than scoring systems' summary diagnostic odds ratios (2.25; 95% confidence interval 0.78, 6.52, p = .001). Combined results of all 12 studies indicated that physicians predict mortality more accurately than do scoring systems: ratio of diagnostic odds ratios (95% confidence interval) 1.92 (1.19, 3.08) (p = .007). Conclusions:Observational studies suggest that ICU physicians discriminate between survivors and nonsurvivors more accurately than do scoring systems in the first 24 hrs of ICU admission. The overall accuracy of both predictions of patient mortality was moderate, implying limited usefulness of outcome prediction in the first 24 hrs for clinical decision making.

The present series of experiments was designed to study the organization of preterminai processes and synaptic boutons of single physiologically identified slowly adapting receptor (SAR) pulmonary stretch afferent fibers. Intra‐axonally injected horseradish peroxidase‐wheat germ agglutinin (HRP‐WGA) conjugate was used as the label. In the first paper, we describe the pattern of arborization of axon collaterals from single physiologically identified SAR afferent fibers evident in the various subnuclei of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (nTS). In the second paper, details are presented regarding the ultrastructure of these synaptic boutons and axon collaterals.


This article has attempted to put a finger on what's wrong in Africa or with our intellectuals or intellectualism. It reflects upon the real African condition, and holds us all to task about the continuing backward trajectory of Africa whether in embracing climate decimating neoliberalism, or the poor adaptation of African life to modern economies that dominate political life. The article descriptively underscores that; it is African intellectuals, and not those poor starving people, who is the reason Africa is in such a deplorable state. That when we rest our head on the pillow we don't dream big to come up with our own cure. Yet we are here calling yourselves graduates, engineers, researchers and scientists and are fast at articulating our credentials once asked-oh, I have a PhD in this and that, I am a professor. That we should be busy lifting ideas, formulae, recipes, and diagrams from American-Europe manufacturing factories and sending them to our own factories. All those research findings and dissertation papers we compile should be our country's treasure. The Asians (Japan, China, India and Korea) are a force to reckon with but simply they stole ideas around the globe and turned them into their own. The article ends up by giving out the motor for change, with learnings from Silicon Valley and its transition to where it is today being provided as practical example of how what seemed like adversity was transformed into something that has become a major driver of a country's economy the US and indeed the world, as virtually all the products designed and produced by companies in this area are used globally. For this to happen, the African governments are advised to create an environment of possibility that fosters camaraderie, rewards innovative ideas, that is, accomplishment through efforts and not effortless accomplishment and encourages resilience. A right blending and friendly relationship of economics, intelligentsia and politics is posited to be the ideal model.


We relate an original experience concerning a popular online video service that offers to generate variants of an humorous video. To further the understanding of the generator, we have reverse engineered its general behavior, architecture, as well as its variation points and its configuration space. The reverse engineering also allows us to create a new generator and online configurator that proposes 18 variation points -- instead of only 3 as in the original generator. We explain why and how we have collaborated and are collaborating with the original creators of the video generator. We also highlight how our reverse engineering work represents a threat to the original service and call for further investigating variability-aware security mechanisms.

This study investigated the correlation among the following factors: (a) consideration of medical treatment , (b) satisfaction of cosmetic treatment, and (c) consumer willingness to revisit a physician to purchase additional treatment. The study population comprised consumers who received photoelectric treatment and cosmetic injection treatment in Taiwanese aesthetic medical clinics. We (or nurses from the clinic) issued 248 questionnaires, and 201 questionnaires were returned. The questionnaire return rate was 81.05%. We collected 154 valid questionnaires. The questionnaire response rate was 76.62%. We observed that medical treatment factors had a significant effect on revisit intentions. Specifically, satisfaction with medical cosmetic treatment had an effect on revisit intentions when it was considered as a moderating variable. The interaction between patient expectations and satisfaction of medical cosmetic treatment reduced revisit intentions.

As the city of the increasing demand for public works projects,public works projects will inevitably lead to deep excavation,the trench lines of both the city is easy to cause additional stress,resulting in rupture of both the project and other accidents occur there.Built with a project practice,three-dimensional finite element method to analyze the Bottom of excavation of the tunnel has been built,including numerical analysis of model meshing,and mechanical parameters of the model unit type selection and surface excavation process modeling and monitoring set.The results show that,at the Bottom of the center tunnel,the cross-section of the excavation process of change in maximum diameter vertical and horizontal,vertical stretch,horizontal compression.Even the walls at the bottom of the pit near the tunnel,pit rotated around the vertical axis angle.


The solubility of lithium oxide was measured in molten LiCl−KCl containing (58.5, 75, 90, and 100) mol % LiCl in the temperature range of (673 to 923) K. The melt with a higher content of LiCl has a higher solubility of Li2O. The pure LiCl has the highest solubility of Li2O, (12.0 ± 0.2) mol % at 923 K. The estimated standard formal potential of O2/O2− increases linearly as the temperature decreases and as the mole fraction of LiCl increases.


PAGE 01 One cold winter day several years ago, I rushed into Dr. J08.llIle Edmonds' office in the Honors College, panicking because it was the middle of my sophomore year and I had not yet declared a major. She sat me down and calmly began to pore over that year's course catalog with me. When she got to "History Option Two Major With Internship," she said the magic word: 'museum." At that moment. I knew tbr certain that I was going to be a history major. I did not know then what I know now: that public history ties into my natural attraction to teaching and learning, ~d that it is a way for me to reconcile the often insular academic community (which I love) to the rest of the world (which I love more). My cOlll"Sework and my internship taught me thatt and much more that I hope to transmit through my Honors Thesis, this I:o.temship Portfolio. After briefly considering the idea of a public history intemship abroad (which r eventually ruled out for financial and logistical reasons), I decided to concentrate my efforts on the Chicago area. I could live at home in the suburbs for free, and maybe even work in one of the museums I had frequented as a child. My electronic application to the Field Museum went ignored, and the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum's programming would not fulfill my historical requirements. At Dr. Michael Doyle's suggestion, I investigated the Chicago Historical Society, an institution with a good scholarly 01/17/2006 14:33 13122662077 CHICAGO HIST SOCIETY PAGE 01 reputation, but one with which I was unfamiliar. I looked at the intemship opportunities listed on their website and applied for three that sounded really interesting. (Those application materials are included here). After a phone interview with the VolunteerlIntern Coordinator, Marne Banso, I was accepted as an intern in the Visitor Services department under her sUpervision. The timing of my internship at the end of my college career really made it the capstone of my time at Ball State, so I think it is only appropriate that my Internship Portfolio also serves as my Honors Thesis. Therefore, it contains all required documents for HIST 300.003: the Work Log, Reflective Jo1.1I'llil. and Midtenn and Final Reports. In addition. I have included the reports on activity cart usage and volunteer management that I researched and wrote for use in pla:cning future educational programming at CHS. To help the reader understand some oftbe processes r went through to create these documents, I have added the questions I asked and some notes that I took during interviews. Because finding and evaluating new resources for gallery interpreters was such a big part of my intemship experience. there is a sample reading in this portfolio. In general, I have tried to include any document to which I made specific reference in my Reflective Journal. Most of these were actually attached files in the electronic version of this Joumal, so my classmates woUld better understand what I was writing about. Photos (hard copies and electronic) add some color to au. otherwise visually bland project. Also included on disk is a short Power Point presentation that I put together for Dr. Doyle's workshop on BSU's Public History Internship Program at DePaul University. A final element in this portfolio that I think: deserves special mention is my application for a full time job at CBS. A position opened up at about the same time that


Abstract The chromatographic behavior of 17 cyclic melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH, α-melanotropin) analogs were studied on two reversed phase columns (Altech and Vydac) using several mobile phases. It was observed that analogs which contain a D-amino acid were always eluted earlier than the corresponding L-amino acid-containing analogues. Substitution of penicillamine for cysteine in the 4 position led to a more lipophilic compound as expected, but when penicillamine was substituted in the 10 position, apparently a less lipophilic compound resulted. These observations can be interpreted as a result of a conformational change in the molecule caused by the particular substitution. Furthermore, decreasing the size of the intramolecular disulfide ring led to a decrease in lipophilicity (i.e. retention time). The carba modification of the disulfide bridge had a similar effect as previously seen in oxytocin and vasopressin, that is, a decrease in retention time.

ABSTRACT Cruciferous vegetables and nuts are rich in indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and L-tryptophan (L-Trp), respectively, which can be converted upon ingestion into AhR ligands. Activation of AhR by dietary ligands contributes to unlocking its therapeutic potential in gastrointestinal homeostasis. In this study, some cruciferous vegetables (cabbage (red and white), cauliflower) and nuts (sunflower seed kernel, pistachio, cashew, walnut) were investigated for their effects on AhR- and Nrf2-mediated gene expression by using an in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell culture model. Nuts induced AhR-pathway in a directly proportional manner with their L-Trp contents (sunflower induced the highest (5.3-fold) CYP1A1 expression). Nuts also showed Nrf2-dependent activities, although L-Trp standard did not. Vegetables activated only AhR-pathway, same with I3C standard, and red cabbage induced the highest CYP1A1 expression (9.6-fold). Results suggested the contribution of L-Trp and I3C in AhR-dependent activities of nuts and vegetables, respectively, although there appeared other bioactives to be identified in overall health aspects of these foods.


We consider the problem of two chemical species, A and B, undergoing an annihilation process A + B → B, on generic discrete inhomogeneous structures, such as disordered solids, glasses, fractals, polymer networks and gels. Two particular cases are analysed: in the fist one A is immobile and B is diffusing (target decay process); in the second one A is diffusing and B is immobile (trapping process). The survival probability of A is analytically calculated in the limit of large times, showing that, while for the target decay it is related to the spectral dimension of the structure, for the trapping problem it depends, in general, on a different anomalous dimension, which we call the exploration dimension.


The aim of this project was to assess the interobserver and intraobserver variability when identifying cytological criteria, which were found to have a statistically significant association with C3 within a workplace environment.


We have fabricated a MEMS microprobe integrated with a nanometer-sized light emitting diode (LED) on the tip for near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). The probe body and the LED electrodes were made by wet-etching and focused ion beam(FIB) cutting of an SOI wafer. Semiconductor nanoparticles (CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanoparticles) were electrostatically trapped and excited within an electrode gap made on the probe tip. The LED-tip size is approximately 100 nm x 100 nm. The probe was tested with an NSOM setup. The probe tip was kept within roughly 5 nm from the surface to yield a successful topographic image of a sample.

The clinical manifestations of Moraxella Atlantae infection were rarely described. Here we reported an elderly pneumonia patient with Moraxella Atlantae infection and the detailed clinical manifestations were firstly described. A bacterial automatic identification system in combination with phenotypic methods can be routinely used to identify this pathogen. If possible, 16S rDNA gene sequencing is also an alternative and effective method.


The expansion of the middle classes in developing markets has been one of the key outcomes of economic growth, as huge swathes of these populations move out of poverty and form an increasingly demanding and sophisticated consumer base. The middle class will slowly disappear and in the hyper flexible, digital, networked economy, hybrid products will be designed. Discount will meet the premium class and the gap between those with 'lots of time and little money' and the ones with 'no time and lots of money' will get bigger. Market segmentation has become also impossible when people fly by a charter flight, stay in a five-star hotel and have lunch in a fast food restaurant.


Assessing the Quality of Democracy, Larry Diamond and Leonardo Morlino, eds., A Journal of Democracy Book; Johns Hopkins University Press, 2005, pp. xliii, 284. Larry Diamond and Leonardo Morlino's edited volume, Assessing the Quality of Democracy, explores substantive and procedural variables that seek, as the title suggests, to measure the "quality" of consolidated democracies. The book is divided into two sections. The first section expands on eight "dimensions of democratic quality" outlined in Diamond and Morlino's introductory chapter. The second section applies the criteria, with varying degrees of exactitude, to six regionally linked pairs of cases.


This study aims to evaluate the internship information system at a Vocational High School. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to perform statistical analysis and calculations on the influence of the relationship between each variable in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with the addition of one external variable, namely self-efficacy variable. The approach used in this research is quantitative. The source of the data used is primary data, derived from the users of the internship information system through a questionnaire containing eighteen questions with five alternative answers using a Likert scale as a point determination. Respondents targeted in this study amounted to 202 respondents, but one other thing was constrained, only 180 respondents filled out the questionnaire. refers to the analysis obtained using WarpPLS, data obtained that: (1) the convenience factor has an influence on the benefits, in using the information system, (2) the use benefit factor has a real influence on the intensity and use of the information system, (3) the attitude of use has influence on the intensity of the use of information systems, (4) the intensity has an effect on the use of information systems in real or implementation. (5) self-efficacy has an influence on the ease of use of information systems.


This study aims to describe the scientific reasoning level of students in urban and rural areas on heat and temperature topic. This current study involved 104 students from two schools in urban areas and three schools in rural areas. The instrument used was a six-item essay test. The result showed that the students' scientific reasoning score was still low. However, based on the Mann–Whitney test, the study found that there was a significant difference in scientific reasoning scores between students in urban and rural areas. Both students in urban and rural areas were indicated to have higher proportional reasoning when compared to the other kinds of scientific reasoning. In particular, students' proportional reasoning in urban areas was higher than in rural areas. The result also showed that probabilistic reasoning and correlational reasoning of students in the rural area tended to be unstable compared to students in the urban area. The implication is that physics teachers in the rural area should make maximum use of the facilities in practicing student reasoning skills.


The author starts from the analysis of the relationship between Pasolini's works and Pascal's philosophical thought to conduct an inquiry into Pasolini's reflection on the tragic and the sacred. This element is strictly related to poetry as it coincides with the reality seen through a 'different' look, capable to escape from History, Ideology, Society, even Psychology.


This paper presents Agent-based Modeling (ABM) as a useful tool for analyzing social systems and the impact of possible interventions on such systems. To illustrate the power of ABM, the paper uses a didactic example of resource management applied to delinquency control. Using the ABM's results the paper shows the analysis of possible resource management for public security. This model shows how four types of dynamics appear as the value of the reward for catching thief increases, with abrupt thresholds between each of them: a) police extinction; b) co-existence of police and thief, c) police and thief extinction, and d) thief extinction. The paper concludes that ABM may help in the planning of resources in social interventions and/or research aimed at explaining the basis of non-linear social dynamics.


The purpose of the present study was to generalize the following findings which were gained from previous studies whose subjects were college students: Both positive and negative ideal selves (the selves that I would never like to become) can be standards of self-evaluation


With the increasing concern of the security on high performance multiprocessor enterprise servers, more and more effort is being invested into defending against various kinds of attacks. This paper proposes a security enhancement model called SENSS, that allows programs to run securely on a symmetric shared memory multiprocessor (SMP) environment. In SENSS, a program, including both code and data, is stored in the shared memory in encrypted form but is decrypted once it is fetched into any of the processors. In contrast to the traditional uniprocessor XOM model (Lie et al., 2000), the main challenge in developing SENSS lies in the necessity for guarding the clear text communication between processors in a multiprocessor environment. In this paper we propose an inexpensive solution that can effectively protect the shared bus communication. The proposed schemes include both encryption and authentication for bus transactions. We develop a scheme that utilizes the cipher block chaining mode of the advanced encryption standard (CBC-AES) to achieve ultra low latency for the shared bus encryption and decryption. In addition, CBC-AES can generate integrity checking code for the bus communication over time, achieving bus authentication. Further, we develop techniques to ensure the cryptographic computation throughput meets the high bandwidth of gigabyte buses. We performed full system simulation using Simics to measure the overhead of the security features on a SMP system with a snooping write invalidate cache coherence protocol. Overall, only a slight performance degradation of 2.03% on average was observed when the security is provided at the highest level.


The 36K protein attached at the 5′ end of the linear DNA plasmid pGKL2 from the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis was first purified and characterized. The terminal protein was purified from cells (1 kg wet weight) by ammonium sulphate precipitation and two rounds of centrifugation to equilibrium in CsCl gradients. The pGKL2 was present only in the post‐microsomal supernatant. Approximately 10 mg of the purified pGKL2 was recovered and digested with DNase I. The terminal protein (final ca. 0·8 mg) was homogeneous by electrophoresis and we determined the N‐terminal amino acid sequence up to ten residues, showing that it existed in the cryptic N‐terminal domain of pGKL2‐ORF2 (DNA polymerase) sequence.

A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif 2015 and 2016 at the Agronomy farm, plot no. 20 of 'B' block, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (M.S.) to study the response of hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) to the age of seedlings at transplanting, spacing and levels of fertilizer under South Konkan condition on lateritic soil having low to moderate soil fertility status. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design which comprising of 27 treatment combinations replicated thrice. The horizontal strips treatments comprised combinations of three age of seedlings at transplanting (T115 days, T230 days and T345 days) and three levels of spacing (S115 cm × 15


This thesis investigates the potential support of computer vision within outdoor weed control for reduced use of herbicides. The outdoor use of computer vision encounters the problem that the illumination conditions may change from e.g. direct sunshine to a clear blue sky as illumination source. Such changes will radically alter the colours and conditions for the image formation. The focus of the dissertation is to find methods that will make it possible to implement computer vision for robust operation under such changeable outdoor/daylight conditions for the image formation. The work is divided into two main parts. The first investigates the relation between computer vision and weed control while the second investigates and develops computer vision methods adaptable to varying daylight conditions. The first part introduces a new concept, "accessibility" for assessment and description of the performance of weed control treatments in a given context. A concept that may combine both primary and secondary parameters influencing on the condition for the weed control treatment. Knowing their influence on the treatment is a necessary prerequisite for successful support of computer vision. The power of the concept is that it may both be used for description of the objectives for the weed control treatment and for assessment of the parameters influencing on it. Hence, it is able to serve as general basis for both planning and execution of the weed control treatment. The concept has also been used for structuring of a comprehensive survey of the literature within this field. The survey shows that many computer vision methods and techniques have been investigated within the application of weed control but only few have taking their point of departure in the process "weed control". The second part approaches the problem of using computer vision outdoors in two different ways. First by the use of a "standard" RGB camera and second by development of a dedicated sensor for detecting vegetation. Initially the theory behind a comprehensive modelling of the image formation is introduced. The modelling is based on a physical understanding of the image formation involving use of CIE daylight standard, the radiance from a Black Body, camera and reflectance characteristics, and the dichromatic reflection model. Based on this modelling a taxonomy for categorizing the current illumination characteristics of two light sources by the reflection from an object represented by its intensity independent chromaticities, is presented. The analysis shows that daylight may be found as an important category where the sun may be regarded as a uniform light source and the sky as an ambient light source. The taxonomy is used in two experiments, first for the assessment of the reflection of six uniform objects illuminated by two known light sources in controlled laboratory conditions. In the second for the assessment of the illumination of realistic images in field condition of Barley plants monitored from early morning to late evening in direct sunshine, over cast, and shaded light conditions. The modelling of the image formation is also used for the development of a segmentation method invariant to spectral variation of daylight for segmentation of vegetation from background regarded as soil. By introducing the intensity as a parameter the method is capable of classifying background areas in shade by the vegetation. These areas will be biased towards the colour of the vegetation as the light is first transmitted through the plants. Instead they may be classified by the feature that they will have a lower intensity than the directly illuminated vegetation. The other approach involves the design and the evaluation of a dedicated sensor for detecting vegetation. An investigation of the reflectance characteristics of vegetation and soil reported in the literature yields that bands in the green, red, and near infra red would be the best wave bands to use for the classification of vegetation and soil. For the design and evaluation of the sensor with these three wave bands the modelling of daylight is extended into the near infra-red region by the radiance characteristics of a Black Body. The sensor is implemented and evaluated by comparing the modelled characteristic with images captured at different conditions of the image formation. Finally a segmentation based on the physical modelling of the sensor is developed and compared with different combinations of the three wave bands. The analysis shows that the sensor may provide a more robust basis for classification of vegetation under different conditions of the image formation than a "traditional" camera. The results of the work demonstrate that a priori knowledge and modelling of the image formation can be of significant importance for the development of image analysis methods and sensors for robust analysis of colour information captured under varying illumination condition. This opens general perspectives for development of computer vision methods and sensors for outdoor use. Within weed control it is especially encouraging that the proposed methods are through improved use of colour information will be able to operate on images with vegetation on an early growth stage. A property of vital importance for future development of new plant growth systems with minimal use of herbicides.


Level of dust particles (PM 10) in Surabaya is the highest in East Java because of the increasing number of motor vehicles. To reduce exhaust emissions of motor vehicles which produce dust particles (PM ), the government of Indonesia has launched the Langit Biru / Blue Sky program with Car Free Day as one of its programs. This study aims to determine differences of air dust level at Car Free Day and non-Car Free Day in Darmo street, Surabaya. The design of research is analytic research. The research object was along Darmostreet. The data were collected by using survey with cross sectional approach and the data were proceeded the form of editing, tabulation and textular. The results of the study shows that the average temperature, humidity, wind speed and the amount of dust in the air during the Car Free Day were 28.78 o C, 76.22%, 1.48 m/s and 135 mg/Nm  respectively and in the absence of Car Free Day were 28.55 o C, 77.40%, 1.13 m/s and 388.16 mg/Nm  respectively. There was significant difference in the dust level (PM 10 3 100 3 ) in the air during the Car Free Day and Non Car Free Day. It is advisable for the government to consider changing the technical implementation of the Car Free Day such as adding more day. Keywords : Dust particles (PM ), Car Free Day, Air Pollution


The tenderness of beef is an important part of the experience of eating it. Ranchers employ various management methods to influence meat quality and ten derness, including breed selection, nutrition, animal age, handling, and transportation. Consumers' meat-eating experience is most significantly affected by tenderness. Once animals are delivered to the slaughter facility, other methods can be incorporated to enhance tenderness. Decreasing stress during pre-slaughter handling, electri cal stimulation during slaughter process, and an appro priate post-slaughter aging period are proven ways to improve meat tenderness. Mechanical tenderization, cal cium solution infusion, use of proteolytic enzymes, and marination are also used to improve meat tenderness. We conducted a study on the use of a mechanical blade tenderizer to improve the tenderness of forage-finished beef. Ten forage-finished cattle raised on the island of Hawaii were slaughtered at a commercial slaughterhouse and subjected to low-voltage electrical stimulation dur ing slaughter, then dry-aged for 21 days in a cold room at 37°F. Two 1-inch thick rib-eye steaks were removed from each carcass. One steak was retained as a control while the other was subjected to treatment with a com mercial blade tenderizer (Ross Industries, Inc., Midland, Virginia). The samples were sealed in air-tight plastic bags and transported to the Department of Human Nu trition, Food and Animal Sciences, University of Ha waii at Manoa, for shear force measurement. Sealed steak samples were cooked in a water bath at 160°F for one hour, cooled at room temperature for one hour, un wrapped, gently dried, and five core samples of ⁄4 -inch diameter were taken from each steak. Each core sample was cut with a Warner-Bratzler blade attachment using a TA.XT2 Texture Analyzer (Texture Technologies Group, Scarsdale, New York) at a speed of 240 mm/ min. The data were analyzed by paired t-test using the MINITAB program. The shear force required to cut the cooked, blade tenderized rib steaks was significantly lower (P <0.01) than that required to cut the control steaks. The improve ment of tenderness by the mechanical tenderizer was about 20 percent. It was noticed that the improvement was variable among steak samples, ranging from 2 to 37 percent. Our recent study shows that the shear force value of forage-finished beef produced on the island of Hawaii ranged from 2.29 kg to 9.72 kg with a mean value of 5.30 kg (Figure 1). According to Miller et al. (2001), shear force values of 3.4, 4.0, and 4.3 kg would result in 99, 94, and 86 percent consumer satisfaction for beef tenderness. If we use shear value of 4.3 kg as a measure of providing a certain level of beef tenderness, only 35%

The interpretation of 1 Cor. 7 in terms of an ideal of sexual asceticism has been widely critiqued and fallen out of favor. The majority of scholars explain Paul's preference for celibacy in terms of its expedience (1) for serving the Lord (cf. 7.32-35) and (2) for avoiding 'affliction in earthly life' (cf. 7.28). Against the latter reason to prefer celibacy, this article argues that Paul associates procreation, not marriage, with affliction, and that he warns those who marry in order to procreate to expect affliction in the last days. Marriage and sex are (now) simply to avoid 'burning' with sexual desire, leading to sexual immorality, not for having children. In support, Paul abandons the traditional obligation of procreation and procreative sex and permits sexual abstinence 'by agreement, for a period [fit for something] in order to devote yourselves to prayer' (7.5b). The unstated purpose here is to spare the Corinthians affliction as a result of having children in the coming days, as expected in some apocalyptic texts which also refer to the use of birth control and family planning to avoid suffering and death.


It is reported (Physics Bulletin December 1987 p441) that industrial physicists rated Physics Bulletin lower on relevance than did other readers. It may be very difficult to score highly on relevance with industrial physicists, but in my view the existence of an 'Industry page' does not so much convey the great importance of industrial physics.


The article considers the problems of application of computer technologies in the study of lexical semantics of relative adjectives of the Ukrainian language. Emphasis is placed on the need to create effective systems for processing semantic information by computer programs and to build high-tech language information tools for describing semantics on many parameters. The research was conducted on the basis of the electronic «Dictionary of the Ukrainian language» in 20 volumes, which is created in the Ukrainian language and information fund of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The dictionary is presented in the form of the Virtual Lexicographic Laboratory «Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language». The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the feasibility and possibilities of using computer technology in research on lexical semantics, focused on the creation of automatic systems for processing language information. The object of analysis is the dictionary articles of relative adjectives, the meaning of which in the explanatory dictionary is transferred by implicit formulas of interpretation «Adjective to…» and «Concerning to… », which only establishes the fact of connection of the meaning of adjectives with the lexical meanings of the nouns from which these adjectives are formed, which makes it impossible to analyze their semantic properties with the help of computer programs. Research methods – lexicographic analysis, theory of semantic states, corpus technology. To conduct a semantic analysis of relative adjectives of the Ukrainian language in the study used the formalism of the theory of semantic states, developed by V. A. Shirokov. The analysis was conducted within the integrated lexicographic system created in the Ukrainian Language and Information Fund of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The results of the analysis are presented in the lexicographic database «Semantics of relative adjectives» developed within the research, built for multiparametric description of semantic properties of relative adjectives of the Ukrainian language. The lexicographic database «Semantics of relative adjectives» will be a representative material for other multiparametric linguistic research in automated mode, including problems of unambiguity and ambiguity of words, word-forming semantics, creating semantic classifications, construction of a semantic dictionary for the Ukrainian language, translation dictionaries, as well as a source of source information during the formation of the Ukrainian terminological system. An explicit representation of the meaning of relative adjectives will facilitate the use of computer technology in lexical semantics research focused on creating automated systems for processing linguistic information.


Learning is a basic way to become a saint to the traditional Confucian. Based on the study on learning attitude,purpose,method,and so on,Confucian formed a set of unique learning theory which has important inspiration and reference to the current postgraduate education. First of all,the Confucianism thinks learning is the subject of active productive activity. Either the ancient scholars or graduate students of today should put their enthusiasm and interest into learning. Second,learning should take the sage expectations. The goal of learning is to learn how to do a good person,rather than only to learn the knowledge. For the current graduate education,how to get out of the utilitarian has become the core issue of education reform. The learning theory of the Confucian helps graduate students set up the correct outlook on life and values.

Background. Easy accessibility of psychosocial care is recommended for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their families. Objective. The study aimed to evaluate the availability of psychological care and its associations with glycemic control in centers from the multinational SWEET (Better control in Pediatric and Adolescent diabeteS: Working to crEate CEnTers of Reference) registry. Subjects. Centers participating in SWEET (n = 112) were invited to complete a structured online survey, designed for the study, regarding their psychology service. Methods. Linear/logistic regression models adjusted for several confounders were used to determine the patient's HbA1c (mmol/mol) and odds ratios (ORs) for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hypoglycemia (SH) related to survey responses. Results. 76 (68%) centers with relevant data in the SWEET database responded to the survey. Psychological services were provided in 89% of the centers. The availability of psychological service in centers was associated with a slightly lower HbA1c of the patients (72 (62–82) vs. 67 (57–78) mmol/mol,

 p
 =
 0.004

 ) and significantly lower odds for DKA (1.8 (1.1–2.9),

 p
 =
 0.027

 ). Conclusions. Most centers from the SWEET registry offered some form of structured psychological care, consistent with the recommendations of easy access to psychosocial care for children and adolescents with T1D and their families. The main benefit of this psychological care appears to be in the incidence of DKA between centers. The study data also continues to emphasize the importance of treatment targets in shaping the outcomes of pediatric diabetes care. These findings should inform health-service planners and the diabetes community of the importance of mental healthcare in multidisciplinary diabetes teams.


This paper investigated the influence of dosage of soda, sulfureted degree and heat preservation time on Larix kaempferi kraft pulping, in order to find out the difference between L.kaempferi trees at different ages or between different vertical locations within a stem. The results show that the optimal technical conditions of pulping are that dosage of soda is 21%, sulfureted degree is 25%, the max temperature is 170℃ and heat preservation time is 2 5 h. With the growth of L.kaempferi, the trees become harder to cook. In the three sections of L.kaempferi stem, the middle section is easier to cook. The physical performance of the pulp of 12-year-old L.kaempferi is better than that of the 15- and 23-year-old; If the pulp has high Kappa value,its tensile strength and breaking length are better, but its folder endurance and tearing index are less.

Tins article presents a bilingual annotated edition of an important, yet previously unknown source document related to the Moravian view of marriage. The text, written by Zinzendorf in 1740, outlines his understanding of marriage in seventeen points, covering both theological questions and practical issues such as the relationship between husband and wife, the role of bodily sensations, and the conception of children. While the document was never published by Zinzendorf himself the fact that several copies of it have been preserved both in Europe and America suggests its importance for the Moravian community. Possibly it was used as a guide for the instruction of married couples. The article also includes a pertinent passage on marriage from Zinzendorf's 1742 Manual of Doctrine, which takes up many similar themes and offers an interesting point of comparison between public and non-public modes of Moravian discourse on this sensitive topic. Both source texts reflect Zinzendorf's concern to articulate a sound theological rationale for the practice of marriage within the Moravian community. In addition, the "Seventeen Points of Matrimony" can be considered to mark the transition from the focus on marital holiness, which was characteristic for the practice of marriage in the early Herrnhut congregation, toward the development of Zinzendorf's radical theology of marriage during the 1740s, known as "Ehereligion."


Adsorption is a fundamental step in catalysis on a solid surface, and therefore, its understanding is important for explaining its behavior. This work investigated the adsorption of various small molecules, including H2, N2, CO, CO2, CH4, NH3, H2O, H2S, dimethyl sulfoxide, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, carboxylic acids, amides, and amines, on the anatase (101) and rutile (110) surfaces of TiO2, using periodic density functional theory calculations and statistical methods. Adsorption energies were computed at the same level of theory to obtain a clean and consistent data set. A linear relationship was observed between the adsorption energies of these molecules and their highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) levels, whereas no obvious correlation was evident for the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital levels. Improved correlations between the adsorption energies and HOMO levels were generated by dividing these molecules into two subgroups: hydroca...


Starting from the pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide 3, a variety of new oxadiazoles 7-9, 11, 13, 17, 18, triazoles 20, 22-25, thiadiazole 21 and pyrazole derivatives 26-29 have been synthesized.


Luminescence decay and time-resolved photoluminescence(TRPL) spectra are used for study on the transient luminescence process of the nominally disordered GaInP alloy. The luminescence decay of GaInP alloy shows the temperature and excitation-intensity dependent characters. At 77K and under high excitation intensity, the luminescence decay shows single exponential time dependence, while under low excitation intensity or at 300K, the luminescence decay shows double exponential time dependence. The analysis indicates that this nominally disordered GaInP alloy actually exhibits a very weak degree of order. The blue-shift of PL peak is observed in the TRPL spectra at 77K, which is derived from the transfer of the carriers from the ordered domain to the disordered region of the alloy. At 300K, due to the thermal quenching, the transfer is too weak to be observed. However, The recombination of the carriers between the ordered domain and the disordered region is still devoted to luminesce.


Most cratonic lithospheres are stable entities that have not been deformed since their formation in the Archean. In contrast, geological and geophysical inferences showed that North China and Wyoming Cratons have been deformed/destroyed under specific geodynamic circumstances (e.g metasomatization, slab dehydration). For instance, lithospheric roots are densified-destabilized and they may eventually sink into the mantle. Here, numerical experiments are used to investigate how high-density anomalies/eclogite in the lower crust that is varying in size, density and geometry may control the lithospheric removal process. Based on a large set of parametric numerical calculations, we first classified the lithospheric removal style (e.g localized, non-localized, high degree, and pierce through). In the case where the eclogite blocks attached to the lower crust, two different conditions develop; localized deformation and non-localized deformation occur due to the small-scale convection. Two new different removal mechanisms are evolved after the eclogite becomes detached from the lower crust; (i) pierce through mechanism subsequent to localized deformation and (ii) high-degree deformation following non-localized deformation. While the width of the eclogite block causes high-degree deformation, it is observed that with increasing thickness it leads to the formation of viscous drips. Experimental results indicate that eclogite block(s) under the cratons may still be there while creating small wavelength MOHO depth variations.


Nitrogen oxides in flue gas cause considerable environmental and health problems. In this study, the NO removal through Fe(II)EDTA absorption based anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) reduction was first evaluated in batch tests. The removal efficiency and removal rate of NO reached 74.5%–85.4% and 1.62–15.48 μmol NO gVSS–1 h–1 with Fe(II)EDTA absorption, respectively. The optimal temperature and pH for Fe(II)EDTA absorption based Anammox reduction of NO was 30 °C and 7.0 in the range of temperature from 25 to 45 °C and pH from 6.5 to 8.0, respectively. The maximum specific substrate utilization rate and half-saturation constant of Fe(II)EDTA-NO were experimentally determined as 0.09 mmol N gVSS–1 h–1 and 1.338 mM, respectively. Then, a sequencing batch reactor (SBR1) performing Fe(II)EDTA absorption based Anammox reduction for NO removal was continuously operated for 35 days.

The M/M/1 queuing theory of variable input rate is an important queuing model. Customers are frequently seen in our daily life hesitating about joining the long queue when they find so many people waiting in the line in front of the service desk. Generally speaking, the probability for customers joining the queue changes with the length of it. This paper, by discussing the M/M/1 queuing model when the customers arrived entering this queuing system by the probability of α k = a-k, aims at getting the stable distribution and the related indexes of this modal, and thus extends the application of the results in reference [1].


This paper compares the post-employment social, political and economic profiles of women previously employed in Sri Lanka's formal manufacturing sector. We surveyed 1031 female respondents, consisting of 775 former garment and textile (GT as well as slightly higher rates of political participation. Regardless of such differences, a significant proportion across both groups shared a sense of self-confidence – even having set up their own businesses or now owning properties since leaving formal employment. Thus, contrary to the negative portrayal of factory work in Sri Lanka and the purported 'plight' of its largely female labor force, our research has found that most women – regardless of prior workplace – had retained and built upon their socio-economic capital across many important aspects of their lives.


Changes in the concentration of iron and dissolved organic matter (DOM), and in the colour and fluorescence properties in the River Kiiminkijoki were investigated as functions of the seasonal flow regime over a two-year period. The iron concentration in filtrates and the ratio of Fe to DOC in the river increased under low flow conditions and decreased during the flood periods. The colour of the dissolved organic matter increased with increasing iron content, the effect being more pronounced during the warm period of the year than in winter. The ratio of fluorescence to DOC increased during the warm period of the year but not in winter, and decreased rapidly with discharge at the beginning of the flood period in autumn. The results give indications of the origin, formation, nature, and fate of the DOM in the river water. Temperature-dependent microbiological processes in the formation and sedimentation of iron-organic colloids seem to be important. Estimates are given for the amounts and transport rates of iron discharged into the Gulf of Bothnia by the river.


The recent BJSM educational review describing an 'injury prevention pyramid for elite sports teams', which has been widely promoted through social media, suggests that bad 'luck' plays a definitive role in injury occurrence, depicting its notable role as the capstone.1 This is in direct contrast to the rich theoretical and empirical history of injury prevention research, which refutes the concept of bad 'luck' in sports injury causation entirely.

In positioning 'luck' as the capstone of their injury …


We establish representation theorems in terms of finite rank operators for some operator ideals defined by approximation numbers. We also study the stability under tensor product of these ideals.


The paper present results of trilateral comparison of a travelling AC voltage standard with PTB/IPHT planar thin-film thermal converter. The AC-DC voltage transfer difference of the standard was measured at 1 V and selected frequencies from 20 Hz to 1 MHz against primary thermal AC voltage standards at SUT, INRIM and Trescal.


The alkylation of gasoline components which are rich in benzene with lower alcohols on zeolite ZSM-5 is a possibility to reduce the benzene content of petrol. As a result the benzene emissions from passenger cars would be reduced. Benzene undergoes an exothermic reaction and is converted to higher, less toxic aromatics. Experiments on a fixed-bed reactor showed 50-80% benzene conversion in one stage


Feeding rabbits with mycelium from Fusarium roseum is shown to produce infertility, the disappearance of aggressivity, and homosexual behaviour in males, while the effect of the females is only infertility. This mycelium contains the mycotoxin zearalenon which has effects similar to those of the female hormone. This fungus willingly grows uncommon crops and is consumed both by people and animals—although normally in very low doses. It cannot be ruled out that an increased growth of fungus, due to artificial fertilization, which then can be demonstrated to be found in food and consumed, can be a factor which increases the incidence of homosexual behavior in people. One of the authors (Nilsson) has observed as a farmer that a change occurs in the crops with increased artificial fertilization of fields and forests, so that hay, grain and forest berries, for example, become mouldy more easily and more rapidly than when they are cultivated and grown without artificial fertilizers. And animals which are raised on crops which are cultivated this way become sicker and show both decreased capacity for reproduction and altered sexual behaviour (Roine et al. 1971). Since fungi are well-known as producers of mycotoxins, it has been reasonable to attribute these changes to. the increased growth of fungi. In an earlier study the authors were able to show that blueberries from artificially fertilized forest land make hens infertile in that after eating these berries they laid eggs without shells or with defective shells. In large doses the blueberries were so toxic that all the hens died. There is reason to suspect that the toxic effects were caused both by mycotoxins and the absorption of very soluble aluminium compounds into the crops after artificial fertilization with ammonium nitrate or calcium nitrate (Nilsson & Lindahl, 1985). The following study with rabbits has been carried out to test the effects of certain fungal toxins on sexual behavior.


Purpose
In other fields, like natural resources, a wide range of participatory methods have been applied, criticized and adapted trough practice. Areas such as anthropology, history or architecture have contributed to the identification of heritage values. Semi-structured interviews and cultural mapping are examples of qualitative and participative methods that have been applied already in the conservation field. Nevertheless, no framework exists to assess the effectiveness of such methods and little experience has been built up in actor's integration within the heritage value identification process. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework to recognize heritage values incorporating multidisciplinary and multi-actor perspectives.

Design/methodology/approach
The socio-praxis approach, which is the outcome of an articulation of diverse methodologies that aim to support social processes from a bottom-up approach as a tool for decision making and community planning, was implemented in the present research. In this context, it supported the identification of heritage values incorporating multidisciplinary and multi-actor perspectives of two traditional neighborhoods of the city of Cuenca in Ecuador.

Findings
The results show that the identification of heritage values from multidisciplinary and multi-actor perspectives allows a more comprehensive vision of the existing values and the process reveals a greater involvement of the neighbors in heritage issues. The importance of structuring organized group of neighbors and positioning them as living experts has showed the complexity of cultural heritage conservation process but at the same time the significance for heritage management has been demonstrated. Therefore, this experience can be considered as an invaluable tool for heritage sites managers.

Originality/value
Stakeholder involvement in heritage conservation management has been widely discussed on international forums in the ultimate decades. While the importance of actor perceptions and priorities for sustainable heritage conservation is recognized, little has been said about the ways to reveal – non-expert – heritage values in such a way that people get involved in the heritage value assessment. In this perspective, the present research represents an invaluable tool for heritage sites that aim to implement a long-term management plans.


The Gleeble-1500 thermal/mechanical simulator was used to study static recrystallization in four non-quenched/tempered steels with V-N-microalloying and one non-microalloying base steel. The results show that in the V-N microalloyed steel with 0.33% C, the static recrystallization process was retarded markedly in comparison with that in the non-microalloying steel with the same C content, especially in the range of 820 to 880 ℃. However, the relationship between C content and static recrystallization was not linear for the microalloyed steels studied. Compared that for the steels with lower or higher C contents, the inter-pass static recrystallization amounts in the 0.33% C steel were always the maximum within the temperature range of 760 to 880 ℃, though all the five tested steels completed static recrystallization under 940 ℃. Such results indicated that the effect of V-containing precipitates on the inter-pass static recrystallization process was fairly complex and depended on when the precipitation occurs. When the mass fraction of N increased from 140×10-6 to 210×10-6 and the other compositions were almost the same, the inter-pass static recrystallization amount decreased by 14% to 19% in the temperature range of 820 to 860 ℃, showing that the increase of N content would restrain static recrystallization obviously.


This study aimed to determine the relationship between smartphone addiction and quality of life among students with disabilities. The method used was quantitative with a correlational design. The participants involved in this study were 33 students with disabilities chosen using snowball sampling. The research measurement used the Smartphone Addiction Scale (α = 0.943) and WHOQOL-BREF (α = 0.941). The results showed that there was no significant negative relationship between smartphone addiction and quality of life among students with disabilities (r = -0.238 and sig. = 0.091). These results indicate that the failure to achieve a quality of life for students with disabilities is not caused by smartphone addiction tendency. The use of smartphones can be controlled in a balanced way by students with disabilities in their daily activities so that it does not have a negative impact on their quality of life.


Microorganisms have played a prominent role in the evolutionary development of the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates. Through eons, the human intestinal tnucosa has evolved in intimate association with myriads of bacteria, and with viruses and parasites, to such an extent that the majority of microbial species art "indigenous" or "autochthonous" to the human host (10). There are several microbial habitats in the intestinal milieu (Fig. 1); the lumen and interplical spaces (virtual or filled with pabulum) apparently are of similar nature, unless proof of existing difference is contributed (17). Plicae and villi are much more numerous in the duodenum, jejunum, and proximal ileum than in the terminal ileum and colon. It may be necessary for pathogens to reach beyond these spaces to cause harm; those reaching intervilli spaces have greater opportunities for attachment and for invasion of the mucosa. Intervillous spaces provide a different habitat in that biochemical cell activity, secretion by goblet cells, and extrusion of cells and nutrients are prominent in this area. In malnutrition, chronic malabsorption, or other pathologic processes, there is formation of hollow spaces or microcaverns (17), possibly permining stagnation of secretions and cell debris. Bacteria associate with crypt cells and they dwell deep in the crypt. Bacteria and other,agents adhere to villi epithelium, usually at the tips. Agents may be loosely associated, but pathogens are more intimately so. Cryptosporidium attaches to the microvilli border of enterocytes, forms a basilar plate and disturbs the brush border, it may locate under the microcalyx (31). Giardia adheres firmly to the mucosal surface and causes anatomical and functional alterations associated with malabsorption (11). Other agents invade epithelial cells and replicate within them, causing profound structural damage, as do rotaviruses (8). Other agents such as Shigella invade the epithelial cell to burrow into the lamina propria, where they cause an inflammatory-response with abscess formation and eventual mucosal ulceration (13). Finally, other organisms actually translocate to reach the lymph and blood circulation, to home in distant organs, such as occurs with salmonellosis (29).


This paper proposes to employ error statistics of nanoscale circuit fabrics to design robust energy-efficient digital signal processing (DSP) systems. Architectural level error statistics are exploited to generate probability or the reliability of each output bit of a DSP kernel. The proposed technique is referred to here as bit-level a posteriori probability processing (BLAPP). Energy efficiency and robustness of a 2D discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT) image codec employing BLAPP is studied. Simulations in a commercial 45nm CMOS process show that BLAPP provides up to 14X improvement in robustness, and 25% power savings over conventional 2D-DCT codec design.

1. Electron micrographs of ultra-thin sections of Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus lysodeikticus in Vestopal as embedding medium disclose a multiplicity of DNA containing threads with varying interparticular distances. 2. The diameter of these threads is about one tenth of the average optimal section thickness. 3. This section thickness inevitably is implicated in the visualization of the internal distances between the threads as well as in some common trends in the DNA pool, a fact that has to be accounted for in the analysis of the macromolecules. 4. By spreading lysozyme protoplasts of M. lysodeikticus on a water-air interface in a Langmuir trough and by transferring this surface layer to carbon supported Formvar films, two-dimensional systems can be demonstrated which as a thread of constant width comprise the total DNA content of one microorganism each. 5. Such a macromolecular system shows equally shaped, coiled loops in a peripheral zone and many crossings towards the center. Branching of threads never has been observed so far. From this evidence we conlude: a) Intracellular DNA in these bacteria seems to exist in one pool as a "woolen ball" which is centered in the cytoplasm as a more or less dense object. b) This "woolen ball" embodies the total amount of DNA most probably as one single threadlike unit. 6. Partial destruction of the thread system of protoplasts will result upon changing optimal spreading conditions. 7. The same kind of destruction is shown upon isolation of the DNA from protoplasts, the length of the threads being an inverse function of the number of precipitation steps showing purification.

To be or not to be indigenous – that is the question much on the minds of two underfunded Newfoundland theatre companies these days. According to their administrators, both the Stephenville Festival and Theatre Newfoundland in Corner Brook rely far too much on corporate sponsorship for their survival. Stephenville offers a summer festival of six productions, and TNL operates every year from September to May, producing five inhouse shows along with a community-involved and community-funded sixth. After Stephenville's ninth season last summer, Cheryl Stagg gave up her job as the Festival's producer and administrative director while remaining as fundraiser, for she has unfinished business. Stagg, for one, feels cut out by arts funding bodies, particularly the Canada Council. And she's tired of keeping up with the Joneses.

This paper is a summary of the major findings of discourse analysis, and is concerned in particular with the implications it has for the foreign language teacher. The main focus of the article is on the analysis of conventional discourse, which is less strongly structured by non-linguistic factors than other kinds of discourse. Casual conversation is the most basic language activity, and in an analysis of it one is most likely to find what is inherently characteristic of spoken discourse. Written discourse will be referred to peripherally, though much of what will be said also applies to written discourse.

Aluminum anodization process requires a lot of electrical energy for the migration of ions in a barrier-type oxide film, in which electrode polarization leads to massive energy consumption. The cathodes are considered to be modified with catalysts, reducing their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) overpotential in order to improve its energy utilization efficiency. In this study, N-doped carbon nanotube (NCNT)-supported Pt nanoparticle (NCNTs/Pt) electrodes were prepared instead of the traditional stainless steel cathodes. Considering the neutral electrolyte used for the aluminum anodizing process, the NCNTs/Pt electrodes were tested in an ammonium adipate (pH = 6.8), exhibiting an overpotential of 125 mV at −10 mA cm−2 and a mass activity of 107.6 A gPt−1. The NCNTs/Pt electrodes were employed as cathodes to measure the aluminum anodization energy consumption, which enabled 9.04% reduction at a formation voltage of 150 V compared with stainless steel electrodes. This study provides a way for energy conservation in the aluminum anodization process, with the novel pathway altering the cathodic electrode using carbon-based noble metals as efficient catalysts.

Preparation of helical polymers designed for mimicking biological helices and developing supramolecular helical assemblies with a controlled helix sense still remains a major challenge. A previously unknown superhelical structure constructed by achiral random copolymer poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) with pendant azobenzene chromophores and terminal nitro moieties (PVK–AZO–NO2) at the air/water interface was systematically investigated by CD spectroscopy, AFM, and TEM. The compression of the interfacial films may induce the helices to coil up and form large superhelices with the opposite handedness in a manner analogous to forming the supercoiled tertiary structure of DNA. The structure model for the self-assembly of PVK–AZO–NO2 into suprahelical structures at the air/water interface was also proposed.
