The rapid development of information technology has significantly expanded the scope of application of digital Fourier processing of finite signals. We note tomography, active and passive sonar, radar, seismology, technical diagnostics, medicine, forensic cybernetics, and artificial intelligence among these applications. The complication of the tasks solved by information technologies in these subject areas stimulated, firstly, the transition from one-dimensional to two-dimensional digital Fourier processing, and secondly, it posed an urgent theoretical and applied problem of finding new basic systems, both in one-dimensional and two-dimensional case. Systems analysis has shown that the transition from the one-dimensional to the two-dimensional case is far from trivial and is primarily of a qualitative rather than quantitative nature. At the same time, the generalization of the results of the two-dimensional case to the multidimensional one, as a rule, does not cause difficulties, since it is mainly quantitative, and not qualitative. A systematic analysis of the actual theoretical and applied problem of searching for new basic systems has shown that the most important requirements for basic systems are: orthogonality, symmetry and multiplicativity. The article provides the detailed analysis of the analytical properties of new two discrete Fourier transforms developed by the authors. These are Parametric Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT-P) for Fourier processing of scalar functions of scalar arguments and 2D Discrete Fourier Transform with variable parameters (2D DFT-VP) for Fourier processing of scalar functions of vector arguments. DFT-P and 2D DFT-VP transforms are based on a generalization of exponential basis systems of DFT and 2D DFT transforms.

— In this paper, we present a comparative assessment of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) for two-level three phase (2L-3P) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). VSI with associated system is subjected to both control techniques and the results are compared. Matlab/Simulink was used to model, simulate and validate the control schemes. Findings of this study show that MPC is superior to SVPWM in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) and implementation.


Aim: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate after one-year followup, the outcome of the Partial Caries Removal (PDR) treatment in young permanent teeth presenting deep caries lesions, using two different operatory isolation field: rubber dam and cottons rolls with suction devices. Material and methods: At baseline, 80 schoolchildren, 11 to 18 years old, of one public school in the Region of Itapoã, Federal District of Brazil, were clinical and radiographically diagnosed with deep caries lesions (radiolucency in the inner third or deeper of the dentin in direction to the pulp). A hundred seven (107) posterior permanent teeth were included in the sample. The adolescents were randomized in two different groups: the control group was treated with rubber dam isolation, whereas the test group used cotton rolls and suction devices isolation. Treatments were conducted in the 2 mobile dental offices, located at the school. The treatment protocol included positive response to cold test and negative sensitivity to vertical percussion, absence of periapical lesions (radiographic examination) and absence of spontaneous pain. Teeth randomly assigned to the isolation of the operatory field received incomplete caries removal and filling in a single session. After one-year follow-up, outcome success was evaluated by assessment of pulp vitality determined by a positive response to cold test, absence of spontaneous pain, negative sensitivity to vertical percussion, and absence of periapical lesions .Twenty pairs of radiographies ( before and after treatment) were examined for dentine reactions twice with a 1 week interval by one examiner. Intra-examiner reliability was 0.74 (non-weighted Kappa p=0,00). Data were analyzed by a Weibull Regression model and by survival analysis. Results: After 1 year follow-up, 9.43% students were lost and 97 teeth had been evaluated. The analysis of independent factors as age, gender, number of surfaces involved in the caries lesions, dentine aspect previously to the treatment, coronary teeth condition and need of filling repair were not related to the outcome. Additionally, the isolation of the operatory field did not interfere on the treatment results. The success rate of the PDR treatment for control and test group was similar (p=0.617): 95.83% and 97.96% respectively. Survival analysis (Weibull Regression) for the pulp vitality after one-year treatment showed that the PDR failure occurred earlier (380 days) than the therapy success (563 days). Conclusion: After one-year, PDR treatment seemed to be effective in the permanent teeth pulp vitality maintenance, under cotton isolation similarly to the rubber dam isolation. Clinical Relevance: This study suggests that isolation of the operating field with cotton rolls for PDR treatment for deep caries lesions is plausible in case of the impossibility of rubber dam use.

Steady flow over the leading portion of a multicomponent airfoil section is studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) employing an unstructured grid. To simplify the problem, only the inviscid terms are retained from the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations - leaving the Euler equations. The algorithm is derived using the finite-volume approach, incorporating explicit time-marching of the unsteady Euler equations to a time-asymptotic, steady-state solution. The inviscid fluxes are obtained through either of two approximate Riemann solvers: Roe's flux difference splitting or van Leer's flux vector splitting. Results are presented which contrast the solutions given by the two flux functions as a function of Mach number and grid resolution. Additional information is presented concerning code verification techniques, flow recirculation regions, convergence histories, and computational resources.

At the beginning of 2020, 71 patients with thyroid diseases (nodular goiter, postoperative hypothyroidism, thyrotoxicosis, hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer) were identified, among which 14 % are men and 86 % are women. Thyroid cancer was diagnosed in 7 people, including 1 man and 6 women, which was 14.3 % and 85.7%, respectively. In the structure of morbidity, nodular goiter (26 cases) accounts for 37 %, postoperative hypothyroidism (17 cases) -24 %, primary hypothyroidism (15 cases) - 21 %, thyrotoxicosis (6 cases) - 8 %, cancer (7 cases) - 10%. The most common pathology of the thyroid gland in the study settlement is nodular goiter. The highest incidence rates were among men aged 51-60 years, and among women - in the age groups 51-60 years and 61-70 years. One of the possible reasons for nodular goiter incidence rate increasing is radioactive iodine incorporation at the stable iodine deficiency in this population.

An analysis of non-tidal estuarine circulation and local wind events was conducted employing wind and current records taken along the York River. Three distinct response conditions of non-tidal circulation to wind were observed. These conditions exhibited significant temporal and spatial variability. The first was typified by a positive two layer flow response to wind that was sig nificant in the middle section of the York during the first six days of the study. The second exhibited a posi tive one layer flow response to wind that was significant in the upper section of the York during the last three days of the study. The third exhibited no statistically significant relation between current patterns and wind. This condition occurred near the mouth of the estuary. and it may indicate that the currents near the mouth respond more substantially to conditions in the adjacent Chesapeake Bay than to those caused by local winds.

Family counselling clinics are a unique Italian social and health service. They were created in the 70s to deal with sex education, contraception, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, gender identity and violence. The access is for free also for minors because Italian Law 194/78 grants minors the right to make autonomous contraceptive and sexual choices. Many family counselling clinics deal with sex education also in schools. They also have specific spaces called Spazio Giovani, recognized in the recent LEA (essential levels of assistance), in which young people can meet counsellors without any appointment and can discuss with them. Collaboration, exchange of information and shared training with paediatricians are desirable practices. The creation of listening opportunities on sexuality can break the internet noise and promote mental and sexual health in adolescents. Today's boys and girls have access to more information about sex and sexuality than previous generations. They are likely to encounter everywhere narratives about sex, often with contents that are inappropriate for their age. This is the space that should be fitted into to make teenagers feel less alone, to let them dream and to convey them the pleasure of having relationships that are based on affection and support their mental health.


We consider the channel estimation for millimeter-wave (mmWave) cellular systems in this paper. Because of the limitation of the hybrid RF/digital beamforming and the adoption of large-scale antennas, the acquisition of channel state information (CSI) is challenging. By exploiting the joint spatially sparse nature of practical mmWave channels, we develop a novel channel estimation algorithm based on compressive sensing (CS) with low training overhead and computational cost. A multiple measurement vectors (MMV) problem is formulated to exploit the joint sparse structure of the unknown channel, and then solved by the proposed rank-aware channel subspace matching pursuit (RA-CSMP) algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of estimation quality in the more scattered channel environments. Moreover, it achieves about 35∼150 times faster runtime than other previous CS-based works in the experiment.

Some medications must be administered intravenously because they can be given in more effective doses, and/or without side effects. Temporary intravenous (IV) lines are tubes inserted into the arm through a needle, where they can remain from a few days to several weeks. Permanent IV lines, either port- or Hickman-type, are placed in the chest and, unlike temporary lines, require surgery. Port-type permanent lines have a small open space beneath the skin into which a tube is inserted via needle when needed. Hickman-type permanent lines have a tube which emerges from the skin and does not require a needle for administrtion of medicines.


Child and mother outcomes are reported for the Abecedarian Project, an early childhood education, pediatric healthcare, and family support program for high-risk children and their mothers. Three randomized intervention conditions for at-risk participants were compared to a control condition. Randomized control group participants received family support social services, low-cost or free pediatric care, and child nutritional supplements but no additional educational program beyond what the parents and the local school system provided. The local community was generally affluent and well educated; disadvantaged families represented a small minority whose welfare was a high social and educational priority. The educational intervention conditions were (a) preschool education for the first 5 years of life plus a supplementary kindergarten through 2nd grade Educational Support Program (Preschool plus K-2 Support), (b) preschool education (Preschool Only), and (c) K-2 Educational Support Program (K-2 Only). Child outcomes were assessed with respect to cognitive development, academic achievement, grade retention, and special education placements. For mothers, the effect of having educational childcare during the preschool period was examined with respect to maternal educational gains and employment. Positive and systematic cognitive and academic achievement differences were found for children in the preschool treatment conditions, particularly when that condition was combined with the K-2 Educational Support Program. High-quality, consistently available preschool education was also associated with greater maternal educational advancement and higher levels of employment particularly for teenage mothers. These findings have direct relevance for education and welfare policies.


Recent global supply chain, improving the efficiency of container shipping process is very important. In the overseas shipping of goods, the voyage of super containership is common to overcome amount of increasing cargo. Thus, container terminal managers make an experiment on the double cycle and dual cycle operation, which ship loading and unloading were carried out simultaneously, for maximizing the productivity of quay side. Yard Tractors(YTs) pooling methods also are introduced for increasing the efficiency of assignment of YTs. In this paper, we analyzed the efficiency of dual cycling through comparing existing pooling methods with the modified method for the dual cycling. We developed a simulation model using simulation analysis software, Arena. The result of experiment shown that the more dual cycling don`t always increase the gross crane rate(GCR), which means productivity of quay cranes(QCs) per hour.


A method of fabricating a radioactive core to be integrated within a source wire for use in radiation treatment of tumors within the body of a patient utilizes a thin elongate fiber of substantially pure iridium encapsulated in a straight quartz tube substantially transparent to the flux of a beam of radiation. The iridium fiber is oriented lengthwise along the axis of the tube, so that the fiber is restrained from curling. The tube and the fiber therein are irradiated with a beam directed normal to the axis of the tube while rotating the tube about the axis, to render the fiber radioactive to a predetermined level of activity. The method is adapted to produce a generally cylindrical Ir-192 source having a longitudinal axis of symmetry, a length of about one centimeter, a diameter of about 0.35 millimeter, a weight of about 20 milligrams and a radioactivity level of at least approximately 10 curies.


Three new species of Trichomyia (Brachiotrichoyia) (Trichomyiinae, Psychodidae), Trichomyia spatulata sp. nov., Trichomyia ciliata sp. nov., and Trichomyia recurva sp. nov. are described and illustrated. Additionally, we present new records of Trichomyia (Brachiotrichoyia) armata Barretto, 1954, Trichomyia (Brachiotrichoyia) quatei Bravo, 2001, Trichomyia (Brachiotrichoyia) inermis Barreto, 1954, and Trichomyia (Brachiotrichoyia) plumata Bravo & Araújo, 2013 in Brazil. An identification key for males of the subgenus was updated to include the three new species.


This work introduces the preparation of zeolite-filled porous mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) and discusses their potential use for air separation. Porous polysulfone (PSF) matrix membranes were prepared using the nonsolvent-induced phase separation process. Scanning electron microscope and gas permeation experiments suggested the presence of closed pores in the porous matrix membranes. Furthermore, porous MMMs containing zeolite 4A particles as filler were prepared and characterized. The permeation properties of porous MMMs were highly dependent on the zeolite content. The introduction of zeolite particles distorted the closed pores in the PSF matrix and formed nonselective voids which resulted in very high oxygen flux but low O2/N2 selectivity. The annealing technique for modifying the nonselective pores present in the polymer–zeolite interface is also described in this study. The resulting annealed porous MMMs had the ability to separate O2 from N2 more effectively than traditional dense MMMs.

ades of the Twentieth. In the field of logic, certainly, this prophetic quality of Peirce's work will scarcely be disputed. The chief doctrines of contemporary mathematical logic, as enshrined in the famous Principia Mathematica of Whitehead and Russell and in other recent works, are for the most part outlined in advance in Peirce's writings. Also, that seemingly very different type of logical doctrine, the pragmatic theory of meaning, is no less definitely to be found in Peirce, along with many important features of the current theory of scientific method. Were this all, it would be enough to justify a considerable degree of fame. But it is by no means all. The most representative metaphysical systems of our time, including those of Bergson and Whitehead, are strikingly akin to the metaphysics of Peirce. We can see now that the second half of the last century was one of the great turning-points in the history of metaphysical thought-thought, that is, regarding the strictly universal or all-pervasive features of existence, those found throughout all space and time. The revolution effected by metaphysicians during this period, and by none other so incisively as Peirce, was in part a return to the great tradition, to modes of thought dominant before the modern era, prior to Bruno and Spinoza. The new type of thought arrived at involved, further, a deliberate and well-considered retention of certain modern*


Large evidences support the strong impacts on rainfall amount and the increasing of dry-season length on the Amazonian forest. All of these effects are usually attributed to large scale atmospheric circulation and to land cover changes as part of anthropogenic effects. In this research we assess statistical and modeling approaches to investigate the interaction between changes in forest cover and hydroclimate processes on a regional and local scale.

Henceforth, the deforestation areas and climatic indexes for the southern Amazon basin (south of 14°S) were evaluated. The deforestation map was estimated for the 1992-2018 period, based on global land cover maps at 300 m of spatial resolution produced by the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) by using several remote sensing datasets. The CHIRPS rainfall dataset (P) for the 1981-2018 period was used to estimate the dry day frequency (DDF, P<1mm) and the wet day frequency (WDF, P>10mm). In addition, the mean actual seasonal evapotranspiration (AET) was GLEAM and ET-Amazon evapotranspiration datasets for the 1980-2018 and 2003-2013 periods respectively. In order to determine the local and the regional climatic effect for each pixel of the climatic index (DDF, WDF and AET), the deforestation fraction was estimated considering different spatial radii of influence (20 to 50 km).

The first results indicate a particular pattern in the southern Bolivian Amazon where two groups of areas were identified, considering the common period of analysis (1992-2018). One of them shows a significant relationship between increasing trend of DDF and decreasing trend of WDF while deforestation fraction is high, what mainly occurs during the wet season. In addition, this region is clearly placed in areas with values of deforestation fraction above ~30%, a closest value to the usually estimated Amazon Tipping Point (~40%). Below this value, the second group is also located in regions with positive trends of DDF and negative trends of WDF. This region has probably a strongest link with the large-scale climate.

Considering these preliminary results, the statistical approaches developed in this research could give some insights about the interactions between forest change and the regional hydro climatology, which might improve the understanding of this interaction based on large-scale hydrological modeling.


Metamaterials are created by arranging small scatterers in a regular array throughout a space to manipulate electromagnetic waves. However, current design methods view metasurfaces as independent meta-atoms, which limits the range of geometrical structures and materials used, and prevents the generation of arbitrary electric field distributions. To address this issue, we propose an inverse design method based on generative adversarial networks (GANs), which includes both a forward model and an inverse algorithm. The forward model utilizes dyadic Green's function to interpret the expression of non-local response, realizing the mapping from scattering properties to generated electric fields. The inverse algorithm innovatively transforms the scattering properties and electric fields into images and generates datasets with methods in computer vision (CV), proposing an architecture of GAN with ResBlock to achieve the design for the target electric field pattern. Our algorithm improves upon traditional methods, as it achieves greater time efficiency and generates higher quality electric fields. From a metamaterial perspective, our method can find optimal scattering properties for specific generated electric fields. Training results and extensive experiments demonstrate the algorithm's validity.


In this study, we sought to evaluate atrial electromechanical properties and conduction homogeneity by tissue Doppler imaging and electrocardiography in patients with psoriasis.

COVID-19, an extremely contagious disease is showing high rate of infection and fatality, posing a major problem to the population. COVID-19 develops hypoxic respiratory failure. COVID and ARDS both lead to failure of multiple organs. According to WHO, as of 10 June 2022, 532,201,219 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 6,305,358 deaths have been reported globally. Primary available protection against this SARS-CoV-2 is population-based vaccination which has reduced the infection risk. Yet, SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to be a mystery, as many aspects such as transmission, infection and therapy, are still being studied. Various mutations have been incurred in the Coronavirus due to which potential efficacy of COVID vaccines has reduced. Therefore, the development of supplementary anti-Covid19 strategy is still a top priority globally. As a new emergent therapeutic method for COVID-19, stem cell therapy and its derived organoid models have attracted a lot of attention. Stem cells, specifically mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have potent tissue healing, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory characteristics that might be used to treat COVID-19 patients with damaged organs like lungs and ARDS and compromised immune system. In present review, we have discussed rationality of MSC treatment for COVID-19 as well as the prospects and challenges of utilizing MSCs as a treatment approach in COVID-19.

IEEE 802.11 network uses the physical carrier sensing and RTS/CTS handshake as the main two techniques to combat interference and hidden node problem. But both techniques do not function well if the interferer or hidden node is beyond the transmission range of receivers. In our model, we take this fact into consideration when analyzing the performance of IEEE 802.11 in multi-hop wireless network. Instead of analyzing the network based on the behavior of the transmitter node, we take the receiver node as the point of reference. Mainly, we divide the network around the multi-hop path into a congregation of interleaved single hop subnetworks, i.e., each subnetwork covers up to 2-hop neighbors of one of the reference nodes. We use a finite capacity M/G/1/K queue and independent samples from saturation analysis to analyze the nonsaturation performance of the single hop wireless network. Then, we present a general analytical model and an iterative method to analyze the performance of the multi-hop path. Simulation results show good agreement with the analytical results.


Over the past three decades early writing research has focused on the processes involved as children learn to write. There is now a powerful evidence base to show that children's earliest discoveries about written language are learned through active engagement with their social and cultural worlds. In addition, the idea of writing development as an emergent process is well established. The study reported in this paper adopted case study methodology combined with an age-appropriate data collection technique in order to explore children's perceptions of themselves as writers. A focused task using a hand puppet called Baby Bear was used to elicit children's perceptions. The children's parents were interviewed to elicit their perceptions of their children as writers. This small-scale exploratory study found that the children had clear perceptions about themselves as writers. There were important links between parents' perceptions of their children as writers and the ethos for writing they created in the home. It was found that, overall, more positive parental perceptions were linked with more attention to the meaning of children's writing. It is concluded that early years settings could usefully identify and compare children's and parents' perceptions of writing in order to enhance children's writing development.

We have developed a detailed standard chemical evolution model to study the evolution of all the chemical elements up to the iron peak in the solar vicinity. We consider that the Galaxy was formed through two episodes of exponentially decreasing infall, out of extragalactic gas. In a rst infall episode, with a duration of 1 Gyr, the halo and the thick disk were assembled out of primordial gas, while the thin disk formed in a second episode of infall of slightly enriched extragalactic gas, with much longer timescale. The model nicely reproduces the main observational constraints of the solar neighborhood, and the calculated elemental abundances at the time of the solar birth are in excellent agreement with the solar abundances. By the inclusion of metallicity{dependent yields for the whole range of stellar masses we follow the evolution of 76 isotopes of all the chemical elements between hydrogen and zinc. Those results are compared with a large and recent body of observational data, and we discuss in detail the implications for stellar nucleosynthesis.


Power relations are seldom one-sided. Those who exercise power are caught up in and subjected to its functions equally as those over whom power is exercised. Educational institutions as social structures with a mandate of sustaining learning represent the conceptualisation of power as concomitant to social relationships. In the enactment of power, discourses of text and talk are evident in directive speech acts, through text types and laws, regulations, instructions, institutional policies and everyday social contact. This article provides insight into the concept of social communication transfer in multicultural education settings in South Africa. Despite the transformation of South African society, education institutions in particular remain sites where powerlessness is rife and social communication discourses reinforce the notion of perpetual disempowerment. A Foucauldian discourse analysis was undertaken to analyse the purpose statements outlined in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS 2011). An analysis was conducted in which meanings conveyed in CAPS discourses were explored; an interpretation of the manifestation of power relations in texts and the implications thereof on the creation of a sustainable learning environment uncovered. * Dr June Palmer and Darrell de Klerk are lecturers in the School of Education Studies in the Faculty of Education at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein.


We present the design of a four-port planar circuit beam splitter comprising a microstrip and a coplanar waveguide (CPW) crossing each other. The CPW is fabricated in the ground plane (bottom layer) and the microstrip is deposited on top of the dielectric layer. A small section of the microstrip line is bent and aligned parallel to the central conductor of the bottom CPW, allowing the level of power coupling to be easily controlled by changing the length of the aligned section. The simple layout of the planar beam splitter makes it easy to fabricate in a wide frequency range from microwave to submillimeter (sub-mm) wavelengths. In this paper, we describe in detail the electromagnetic design of the planar beam splitter and its predicted performances in the frequency range of 600–700 GHz. We discuss the potential usage of the planar beam splitter as a replacement to the free-space beam splitter in receivers, in particular those using superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) mixer arrays. To investigate the integrity of our design in a controlled way, we scaled the design to operate in the Ku-band and measured the performance of several prototypes experimentally. Our tests showed good agreement between the measured performance and simulations.

Understanding innovation as an uncertain future-oriented change process that builds upon scientific and technological knowledge, and is framed by organizational, social, economic, and political contexts, we questioned how innovation development was dependent on these contexts during the crisis in Portugal. For this purpose, we quantitatively characterized the internal and external contexts of Information and Communication Technology firms between 2010 and 2012. Focusing on innovative firms, we further analyzed the evolution of innovation activities; perceptions of the crisis impacts on innovation; and the evolution of uncertainty in the companies' future. Our ordinal regression models revealed that companies with more empowering work environments and increasing assets, present increased probability of having 1) augmented innovation activities; 2) more favorable perceptions of the socioeconomic crisis impacts on innovation; and 3) reduced uncertainty in the companies' future. Our study further suggests that while uncertainty is ubiquitous to innovation processes, increases in contextually-framed innovation activities support more favorable perceptions of the crisis impacts on innovation, and additionally override perceptions of uncertainty in the companies' future.

A study was conducted to establish the degree of genetic divergence between different hybrid forms and rearing conditions through estimation of the minimum number of genes (allelic pairs) differentiating parents in terms of specific quantitative traits. It was established that the minimum gene numbers differentiating parental lines in the inheritance of cocoon was 1, of cocoon shell weight- between 1 and 2, and of silk filament length- between 2 and 3. The variability in the specific genetic parameter could be explained by the reliability of the statistical-and-genetic method used and the expression of genes affecting the formation of each of the characters tested. Gene expression, in its turns is conditioned both by the gene interaction within the genotypes and the different genotype response to environmental change. To go deep in the problem, experiments should be conducted under strictly controlled conditions, reducing the mathematical-and-genetic analysis to a physiological levels and hence to analyse the genetic nature of the specific quantitative character formation and its genetic control.


Conidiospores of Cronartium ribicola mycoparasites Trichoderma spp.including TR1,TR2,TR3 could germinate in each culture medium of agar plate,glucose,PDA,Fries,bark juice of Pinus armandii and aeciospores.Strain TR1 showed its germination activity and rate on all mediums was the highest,whereas strain TR2 and strain TR3 germinated less on the medium of agar plate and glucose.The optimum temperature for conidiospore germination of three mycoparasites ranged from 20℃ to 30℃ and TR1 had the most wide temperature ranging from 15℃ to 35℃.The optimum pH for conidiospore germination of three isolates was 4.0~5.0 with the relative humidity from 35% to 100%.Conidiospores could germinate easily with the relative humidity above 50%.Dark and interval dark could stimulate conidiospore germination of TR1.However,continuous exposure to light contributed to spore germination of TR2 and TR3.


The dreadful situation of food insecurity has been drastically minimized in most developed countries by the introduction of agricultural modernisation techniques. The paper examines the potentials of agricultural modernisation for rural transformation and food security of smallholder food crop farmers in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti region of Ghana. Using a triangulated research design, purposive snowballing sampling technique was used in selecting the farmers. A total of 150 partially pre-coded questionnaires were administered to smallholder food crop farmers from 4 different communities: Beposo, Asuafua, Amoamang and Ankumadoa. Data were analysed in the cross-tabulation and frequency tools embedded in the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS), version 17. The study revealed that farmers (41.4 percent) have adopted modernized agricultural technology and has resulted to high availability and accessibility of food at the modernised agricultural communities than the traditional agricultural communities. On the other hand, majority (58.6 percent) are still practicing traditional agriculture due to financial constraints as proved that modern technology requires huge some of capital and the technical know-how.


We present a family of four novel methods for embedding knowledge graphs into real-valued tensors that capture the ordered relations found in RDF. Unlike many previous models, these can easily use prior background knowledge from users or existing knowledge graphs.We demonstrate our models on the task of predicting new facts on eight different knowledge graphs, achieving a 5% to 50% improvement over existing systems. Through experiments, we derived recommendations for selecting the best model based on knowledge graph characteristics. We also give a provably-convergent, linear tensor factorization algorithm.


Ovary contents and insemination status were examined in overwintered queens of Vespa mandarinia that were collected using bait traps in Ibaraki Prefecture, eastern Japan. Catches in the traps occurred from late April to early July in 1999, though they were few or rather sporadic in and after June. Fertilization rates were 100% in 1999, and 93% in 1998 when a preliminary sampling was made. While the ovary index (number of eggs with size equal to or larger than adjacent nurse cells) of queens caught on the first few collection dates was small, it rapidly increased up to late May. Generalized linear model analyses showed that the ovary index depended both on collection date and the size (head width) of the queens. Mature eggs were almost absent in their ovaries before early May, whereas more than 70% of the queens had one or more mature eggs on and after May 10, suggesting the onset of nesting in early May.


The Delaunay triangulation of a finite point set is a central theme in computational geometry. It finds its major application in the generation of meshes used in the simulation of physical processes. This paper connects the predominantly combinatorial work in classical computational geometry with the numerical interest in mesh generation. It focuses on the two- and three-dimensional case and covers results obtained during the twentieth century.


Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs), which are porous materials that are prepared from metal ion/clusters and multidentate organic ligands, have evolved to be next generation utility materials because of their usability in diverse applications. MOFs, as a class of interesting materials, have attracted great attention due to their controllable pore size and elaborately designed pore structure. In the past two decades, MOFs have exhibited versatile potential applications such as gas storage, gas separation, heterocatalysis, sensors, and luminescence. Most research works so far have focused on MOFs based on transition metal ions or rare-earth ions. In this review, a porous Ba (II)-based MOF was synthesized with an ultrasonic method by using benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracaboxylic acid as an organic linker; this was characterized by X-Ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy methods.


Devadatta was contemporary with Shakyamuni Buddha,but later indulged in fame,gains and comfort,and opposes the Buddhism.He did great harm to the Buddhism by splitting Buddhist clergy and caused much confusion to Buddhism and society.This article reviews the Devadatta event and analyzes the feature and the nature of chanting Buddha and seeking evil.


This paper contains an investigation of the Tax Code and the Code of Territorial Autonomy and decentralization "THE COLLECTION OF FEES, CONTRIBUTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BY MUNICIPAL GADs LEGAL RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL BREACH NOT EXIST AL GENERATOR MADE BY WHAT TO REFORMING THE TAX CODE AND COOTAD". is the same as the result of a thorough investigation regarding the proposed issue aims to present an analysis of the reality of taxation rates , special contributions or improvement as such constitutes a sample significant than has generally been the case in the collection of fees corresponding to municipalities in Ecuador , in the present study examines the process of charging fees is being conducted in a manner unsuitable mainly because it no charges for existing services , this causes discomfort taxpayers as it becomes an illegal act, since there must first be the elements necessary to meet the requirements for this area arises and therefore is chargeable according to the Constitution and the law of matter.
In this work, besides the above, the most relevant aspects of the Tax Code and COOTAD stand. It was also intended to motivate the reader and invite you to reflect on the positive changes that could affect the system to levy charges for the assets subject if our conclusions, recommendations and proposals for legal reform are welcome.

And the collection of taxes and fees especially by municipalities is an important issue not only for Ecuadorian law, but to the rest of Latin America, and the countries of this region bear a common history.

Based on rates , tax collection , has become pitifully , and in some cases, many times in an act of inequality and charged for services without being the operative event such as tax charged for services sewer without any drainage, so the development of the law is essential to prevent such acts against the Ecuadorian government and its own people.
Public administration must be more and more a planning and foresight of the effects of their decisions organization.
Lack of control in the system of tax collection of municipalities fosters social inequality and generates malaise and discontent citizen.
As can be seen at the beginning of this investigation a thorough review of literature that discusses the conceptual framework, the doctrinal framework and the legal framework is done. The theoretical framework is defined and conceptualized terms: Finance Law, Tax Law, State Budget revenue , tax revenues, non-tax revenue , the tax classification law, principles of tax law , tax principles , the tribute in Ecuador , classification taxes and related topics. In the doctrinal framework a brief analysis of the methods of collecting taxes is made under current law being studied. In the legal framework the different constants discussed articles in the Constitution of Ecuador, Tax Code and Code of Territorial Organization, Autonomy and Decentralization.
Regarding the materials used include: newspapers, books, legal journals , legal research guide , notebook , tape recorder , camera, car , office supplies , books, computer, printer , scanner , questionnaires , among others.

In the present investigation logical scientific methods were used or intended to discover or confirm the truth by certain and firm conclusions. These methods are: scientific, inductive, deductive method and the literature method.

The methodology used was intended to harmonize the scientific rigor of research; specific cases also made feasible a legal proposal for reform of


Abstract The Linear Combination of Fragment Configurations approach is used to generate qualitative potential energy surfaces. The theory is applied to "forbidden" cycloadditions, solvolysis, and electrophilic aromatic substitution. It is also used to illuminate principles of chemical selectivity and the electronic structure of diradicals. It is argued that chemical intermediates in thermal reactions arise from excited surfaces under the influence of perturbations such as substituent effects and solvation.


Experiments conducted on open-access cloud-based IBM Quantum devices are presented for characterizing their fault tolerance using [4,2,2]-encoded gate sequences. Up to 100 logical gates are activated in the Ibmq_Bogota and Ibmq_Santiago devices and we found that a [4,2,2] code's logical gate set may be deemed fault-tolerant for gate sequences larger than 10 gates. However, certain circuits did not satisfy the fault tolerance criterion. In some cases the encoded-gate sequences show a high error rate that is lower bounded at ≈ 0.1, whereby the error inherent in these circuits cannot be mitigated by classical post-selection. A comparison of the experimental results to a simple error model reveal that the dominant gate errors cannot be readily represented by the popular Pauli error model. Finally, it is most accurate to assess the fault tolerance criterion when the circuits tested are restricted to those that give rise to an output state with a low dimension.


This anthology illustrates the scope of Buddhist practice in Asia, past and present, by presenting a selection of 48 translated texts including hagiographies, monastic rules, pilgrimage songs, apocryphal sutras, and didactic tales from India, China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Burma. Most of these pieces have never before been translated into a Western language, and each is preceded by an introduction by its translator. Together they are designed to reshape the way in which Buddhism is understood. These sources provide the reader with a sense of the diversity of the practices of persons who over the course of 2500 years have been identified, by themselves or by others, as Buddhists. In this rich variety there are often contradictions, such that the practices of one Buddhist community might seem strange or unfamiliar to another. At the same time, however, there is evidence here of many continuities among the practices of Buddhist cultures widely separated by both history and topography. From "A Hymn of Praise to the Buddha's Good Qualities" through "On Becoming a Buddhist Wizard" to "Death-Bed Testimonials of the Pure Land Faithful," the selections here provi


In manufacturing of mechanical parts and assemblies, proper thread-engagement between a bolt and a nut is vital for the performance and reliability of the product. Typically, this is a precision work, requiring repetitive manual operations. In this paper, we explain how such assembly operations can be carried out by collaborative robots (co-bots) by monitoring the position and orientation of the nut and bolt using an image-sensor (camera). The focus of our discussion is the assembly-operation of bolting of a nut by the grippers of a co-bot. Slips and misalignment, leading to wrong positioning of the nut and the bolt, are identified by capturing the images of the two components in real time using Microsoft Kinect camera-sensor. 3D Reconstruction of the image captured by the camera-sensor is carried out using the Kinect Fusion application. The reconstructed image is in the form of a polygonal mesh which is further converted to 3D Point Cloud data which is less sensitive to noise. Thereafter, the Point Cloud is segmented by dividing the entire scene into many clusters in order to distinguish the objects of the scene as grippers and nut and bolt. These clusters can be used for the training of the co-bot for the proposed operation. This method of extracting object-boundaries leading to recognition of objects is a vital operation in the field of robotic vision. We provide baseline description of various machine learning techniques that can be applied to realize proper assembly of a nut and a bolt.


Abstract Background Acute infection of pregnant women with Toxoplasma gondii can result in fetal transmission. When clinical abnormalities are evident by ultrasonography in late gestation, medical treatment may be attempted, but the data on outcomes are limited. Objectives To present a case of congenital fetal toxoplasmosis from Thailand and review the literature. Methods A woman presented at 31 weeks of gestation with severe bilateral ventriculomegaly, cardiomegaly, hepatosplenomegaly with intrahepatic hyperechogenicities, and polyhydramnios. Medical treatment with pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine and folinic acid was initiated. There was no improvement. Social, medical, ethical and legal issues were considered. Results Delivery was indicated at 34+2 weeks of gestation because of premature amniorrhexis. The neonate suffered from respiratory distress, meningitis, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and expired at age 11 days. Conclusions When fetal congenital toxoplasmosis is diagnosed late in pregnancy with severe ultrasonographic abnormalities, the neonatal outcome is poor despite in utero treatment with antibiotics.


Figure 3. Coronal (top) and axial (bottom) views from a 3D acquisiton slightly above the heart. Images have 2x2x3 mm resolution. The coronal image shows the 4cm, TB=10 slab profile in vivo. The contrast is consistent across the slab, indicating a flat slab profile. The black level is 0 for these images. Introduction: Balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging (TrueFISP, FIESTA, balanced-FFE) is a rapid imaging method that provides good tissue contrast with high SNR efficiency. However, maintaining high SNR efficiency requires a high readout duty cycle. This is often achieved by shortening the excitation pulse, which compromises the 3D slab profile. A mediocre slab profile results in fewer useful slices, both because of through-slab aliasing and diminished contrast due to reduced flip angle in the transition band. This is especially true when a thin slab is used to limit the field of view. In this work, we apply variable-rate selective excitation (VERSE) to design short-duration pulses with sharp slab profiles that are appropriate for 3D balanced SSFP imaging.


The paper describes relaying problems in transmission systems with a high degree of series compensation. The usability of and limits for the use of distance protection will be discussed and experiences gained from real-time tests are presented. The possibilities offered by modern relays, so called two-in-one relays, consisting of communication based differential protection combined with backup distance protection will be shown. By the use of these modern relays, very low fault clearing times like required in protection codes for highly loaded transmission systems can be fulfilled.


Objective
To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with different parts of heart rupture.

Methods
Patients diagnosed for AMI complicated with cardiac rupture from January 2010 to December 2015 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were collected. All of them were divided into free wall rupture group and ventricular septal perforation group according to the rupture site. Clinical features, hospital related examination results, treatment and prognosis of these two groups were analyzed statistically.

Severe vision impairments are an obstacle to the adequate cognitive and social development of the child. The educational response to priority problems that occur with vision disorders requires appropriate training of vision impairment specialists. For this purpose, they need basic knowledge related to the classification of vision impairments and the main aspects of the development and education of this category of children. This study aimed to analyse the main features of educational activities of children with vision impairments using special diagnostic methods and to search for effective methods for correcting the cognitive activity of children with vision impairments. During the study, an experiment was conducted with children with vision impairments (15 children). To conduct the experiment, the study used methods proposed by V.V. Tarasun and adapted them to the contingent of children with vision impairments. In particular, the following methods: the method of motivational preferences "Three wishes", the method of "Memorising 10 words", and the method of "What, why, how". The depth and time of vision impairment are considered as a primary defect, which has corresponding secondary consequences and requires corrective action under the guidance of an experienced vision impairment specialist.

Objective: Apical transverse motion (ATM) is a new parameter for assessing left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. Speckle-tracking radial strain analysis seems to be the best method to identify potential responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between ATM and radial dyssynchrony assessed by speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NDC). Methods: We examined 35 NDC patients (mean age 49.2±28.1 years; 21 males). Cardiac dimension and ejection fraction (EF) were measured. Speckle-tracking analysis was performed on two-dimensional greyscale images in the mid-LV short axis view and apical views to calculate global radial, circumferential, and longitudinal strain (GRS, GCS, GLS), as well as rotational indexes (LV twist and torsion). Radial dyssynchrony was defined as a difference in time to peak systolic radial strain between the anteroseptal and posterior segments with a cut-off value of 130 ms. ATM was estimated using motion traces of 2 opposite apical segments. Results: Radial dyssynchrony was significantly correlated with ATMloop (r=0.78, p<0.001), ATM4CV (r=0.71, p=0.001), ATM3CV (r=0.67, p=0.003), GRS (r=-0.51, p=0.04), GCS (r=-0.55, p=0.03), LV twist (r=-0.58, p=0.02), and LV torsion (r=-0.56, p=0.03). The receiver operating characteristics analysis for ATMloop to distinguish between patients with and without radial dyssynchrony revealed an area under the curve value of 0.88 (CI: 0.73-1.04, p=0.005). The best cut-off value was 2.5 mm for ATMloop (85% sensitivity and 86% specificity). Conclusion: Apical transverse motion is closely associated with radial dyssynchrony assessed by speckle-tracking echocardiography. Quantitative measure of apical rocking has the potential for clinical applications.


Fasd is one of the most important and useful regime of Ilaj Bit Tadbeer (Regimenal Therapy). It is a method of evacuation of superfluous material (morbid material) from the body in order to treat a disease or keep the person in good state of health. It has a long history of almost 3000 years back and it has been in practice effectively to treat various ailments in different era. Its importance remains the same with passage of time. Even today it is the most effective treatment in some diseases. In this paper it was aimed to collect the available DATA from classical text and highlight its importance and evolution day by day in different era


We study and constraint Mass-Varying Neutrino models using present and future available data. In these models, dark energy is a self-interacting scalar field directly coupled to neutrinos. We investigate two different potentials and both positive and negative coupling parameter \beta. This corresponds to increasing or decreasing neutrino mass, respectively. We explore couplings up to |\beta|\lesssim 5. In the case of the exponential potential, we find upper limits on \omega_\nu 3 for the increasing neutrino mass and \beta<-1.5 for the decreasing mass case. This is a clear sign of a preference for higer couplings. When including a prior on the neutrino mass today the upper limits on the coupling become |\beta|<3 at 2-\sigma level for the exponential potential. Finally, we present Fisher forecast using the tomographic weak lensing from the Euclid-like experiment, also in combination with the CMB temperature and polarization spectra from the Planck-like mission. If considered alone, lensing data is very efficient in constraining \omega_\nu, giving a signal of a non-null neutrino mass with high significance. There is, however, a strong degeneracy in the \beta-\omega_\nu plane. When the two data sets are combined, the latter degeneracy remains, but the zero \beta value can be excluded at more than 2-\sigma.


ABSTRACT Partial shading has been identified as a major simulation programme. The PVSYST simulation software has been used to evaluate the behaviour of, or cause for, reducing the energy of photovoltaic systems. In the present work the influence of shading effects on a solar photovoltaic array has been analysed, emphasising different shading quantities and changing the string length with the computer system for different shading situations. The result shows that the maximum power point of shaded string is not greatly influenced by the quantity of shade on one cell of that string ranging from 793 W at 25% shading to 780 W at 99% shading. The power generated at the maximum power point is reduced from 1846 W to 1530 W, that is, 17.1% reduction, which is a larger loss than the system comprising 4 modules in series and two strings in parallel with a loss of 9.1%.


Two efficient algorithms for evaluating the distance spectrum of trellis codes were recently published. The authors have constructed an efficient algorithm for computing the distance spectrum by combining the best features of the two. A comparison is made of the computational effort that these algorithms must make in order to produce the distance spectrum for a given distance.<<ETX>>

Thermo‐sensitive triple‐shape polymers can perform two consecutive shape changes in response to heat. These shape changes correspond to the recovery of two different deformations in reverse order, which were programmed previously at elevated temperature levels (Tmid and Thigh) by the application of external stress. Recently, an AB copolymer network was described, which surprisingly exhibited a triple‐shape effect despite being programmed with only one deformation at Thigh. Here it is explored whether a copolymer network system can be designed that enables a one‐step deformation process at ambient temperature (cold drawing) as a novel, gentle, and easy‐to‐handle triple‐shape‐creation procedure, in addition to the procedures reported to date, which generally involve deformation(s) at elevated temperature(s). A copolymer‐network system with two crystallizable polyester segments is synthesized and characterized, fulfilling two crucial criteria. These materials can be deformed at ambient temperature by cold drawing and show, even at Thigh, which is above the melting points of both switching domains, elongation at break of up to 250%. Copolymer networks with PCL contents of 75 and 50 wt% show a triple‐shape effect after cold drawing with shape‐fixity ratios between 65% and 80% and a total‐shape‐recovery ratio above 97%. Furthermore, in these copolymer networks, the triple‐shape effect can be obtained after a one‐step deformation at Thigh. Independent of the temperature at which the deformation is applied (ambient temperature or Thigh), copolymer networks that have the same compositions show similar switching temperatures and proportioning of the recovery in two steps. The two‐step programming procedure enables a triple‐shape effect in copolymer networks for an even broader range of compositions. This versatile triple‐shape‐material system based on tailored building blocks is an interesting candidate material for applications in fixation systems or disassembling systems.

Current ideas about the nature of interstellar dust in galaxies are reviewed, with a strong emphasis on the nature of the very small grain component needed to explain the mid-infrared diffuse emission and unidentified infrared features. Models for the infrared spectra of galaxies are reviewed and the evidence that most of the radiation in star-forming regions is being absorbed by a high visible-uv optical depth of dust is summarised. The evidence for destruction of very small grains in regions of high radiation intensity is discussed.

As the energy retrofit of the air-conditioning system in the base stations is conducted by using Energy Management Contract mode,the accurate calculation of the baseline energy consumption is critical for determining the energy savings.In this paper,the real-time energy consumption of the air conditioning system in the base stations made by 90 mm color steel plate in Zhongshan City is measured.A novel calculation method of the baseline electricity consumption is proposed based on the measured data,including the total electricity consumption in the base station,the electricity consumption of the air conditioning and fresh air system,the indoor and outdoor temperature.This method is validated by comparing the calculated baseline electricity consumption to the measured result.The effects of the data-collection duration and the air temperature on the calculated results are analyzed,and then the optimal calculation scheme is obtained.It is shown that the proposed method provide a convenient and accurate way to calculate the baseline electricity consumption of the air conditioner.This research is of significance for the determination of the energy savings in base stations.


Owing to better mechanical properties and shape memory effect, the nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy is a favorable material for orthopedic implants. However, low wear resistance and limited biocompatibility of NiTi can be enhanced by nano-sized reinforcements. Several NiTi-based nanocomposites are developed using nano-sized ceramic reinforcements. Similarly, bioceramic (i.e., HAp) reinforced NiTi nanocomposites are also developed to improve their bioactive properties. However, these nanocomposites show high interconnected pores that severely affect their mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Therefore, some further improvements are required to balance the mechanical and biological properties of NiTi-based nanocomposites. This paper provides a better understanding of NiTi-based nanocomposites developed for orthopedic applications and the resultant effects of nano-sized reinforcements on mechanical, wear, corrosion, biocompatible and bioactive properties. Besides, the synthesis of NiTi nanocomposites using the powder metallurgy process and the effects of process parameters on the nanocomposite properties were also discussed.

Recent advances in seismic inversion methods allow us to get high-resolution quantitative representations of mechanical parameters of the Earth. One of the most promising inversion method is the Full-waveform inversion (FWI) method which basically consists of an iterative data fitting process based on a local optimisation (Tarantola, 1984) and unlike conventional methods (e.g. first arrival times tomography) all the information available in the data can be handled. This method has been first applied to depth exploration (Virieux and Operto, 2009), but some authors already applied it to quantitatively image the near-surface. For example, G'elis (2005) succeeded to image cavities using synthetic data including surface waves arrivals. However one of the most important remaining challenges is the validation of the method with real field data that presents many difficulties: field data are often measured on not well-known media composed of high heterogeneity degree, important intrinsic attenuation and with prominent three dimensional effects. Considering all these difficulties, the necessity to have an experimental intermediate validation step becomes obvious. The aim is to reproduce the field experiments in a well-controlled environment at a smaller scale using a well-defined spacio-temporal scalling. The physical reduced scale modeling has several advantages compared to field-measurements: first the model physical parameters are well controlled, thus numerically repeatable; secondly, the great flexibility of the setup enables to experiment easily novel measurement configurations. This validation approach has already been first applied for geophysical imaging purposes by French (1974). Recently Bretaudeau (2010) designed an ultrasonic measurement bench called MUSC with several features that enable an excellent reproducibility of field measurements from the surface. For instance, a special attention has been paid to select a source that can be assimilated to a point source and the sensors displacements are controlled with an accuracy of 10 m. Using this experimental setup, Bretaudeau (2010) showed promising results on the inversion using the vertical component. Due to recent technological improvements (Blum et al., 2010), it is now possible to record the vertical and the horizontal components simultaneously using a new laser interferometer device which has been implemented in the MUSC measurement bench. In this context, the aim of the study presented here is to investigate numerically the benefits of the each component in the frame of the FWI method and to present the recent advances on measurements of both components on reduced physical scale models. First, the physical reduced scale model and its numerical representation will be described, then a numerical study will present the benefits provided by each component for velocities reconstructions and finally measurements of the vertical and horizontal components on the reduced physical scale model will be presented and compared to numerical simulations.


Objective: This study evaluated the usefulness of cystatin C as a prognostic predictor in heart failure patients admitted to the emergency department.
Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively on patients with heart failure admitted to the emergency department between January and December 2018. Patients newly and previously diagnosed with heart failure underwent both N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide and cystatin C tests. To assess the patients' prognosis, a poor prognosis was defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following events: intubation, admission to an intensive care unit, coronary angiography, continuous renal replacement therapy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and death. The patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of these events; the characteristics between the groups with and without events were compared.
Results: Seventy-four patients were included in the study analysis: 35 and 39 in the group without and with events, respectively. The number of patients with a history of diabetes, hypertension, troponin T, and cystatin C levels were significantly higher in the group with events than in the group without events (P=0.028, P=0.041, P<0.001, and P=0.002, respectively). Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that cystatin C is a significant prognostic predictor of events.
Conclusion: An increased cystatin C level has been shown to clinically predict a poor prognosis of heart failure patients admitted to emergency departments.


The time required to generate valid structurally complex inputs grows exponentially with the input size. It makes it hard to predict, for a given structure, the most feasible input size that is completely explorable within a time budget. Iterative deepening generates inputs of size n before those of size n+1 and eliminates guesswork to find such size. We build on Korat algorithm for structural test generation and present iKorat – an incremental algorithm for efficient iterative deepening. It avoids redundant work as opposed to naïve Korat-based iterative deepening by using information from smaller sizes, which is kept in a highly compact format.


The magnetoresistance in a two-dimensional array of Ge/Si quantum dots was studied in a wide range of zero magnetic field conductances, where the transport regime changes from a hopping to a diffusive one. The behavior of the magnetoresistance is found to be similar for all samples—it is negative in weak fields and becomes positive with increasing magnetic field. The result apparently contradicts existing theories. To explain experimental data we suggest that clusters of overlapping quantum dots are formed. These clusters are assumed to have metal-like conductance, the charge transfer taking place via hopping between the clusters. Relatively strong magnetic field shrinks electron wavefunctions, decreasing inter-cluster hopping and, therefore, leading to a positive magnetoresistance. Weak magnetic field acts on 'metallic' clusters, destroying the interference of the electron wavefunctions corresponding to different paths (weak localization) inside clusters. The interference may be restricted either by inelastic processes, or by the cluster size. Taking into account weak localization inside clusters and hopping between them within the effective medium approximation, we extract effective parameters characterizing charge (magneto-) transport.


IJHP: https://escipub.com/international-journal-of-hospital-pharmacy/ 1 Katla Swapna et al., IJHP, 2019: 4:30 IJHP: https://escipub.com/international-journal-of-hospital-pharmacy/ 2 INTRODUCTION Exfoliative dermatitis, or erythroderma, is an erythematous, scaly dermatitis involving at least 90% of the skin surface. The diagnosis of exfoliative dermatitis is based on skin findings on physical examination. The term "erythroderma" was first used by Hebra in 1868 to describe exfoliative dermatitis affecting at least 90% of the skin surface area(1). It is systemic and potentially life-threatening complications include fluid and electrolyte imbalance, thermoregulatory disturbance, fever(2-3), tachycardia, high-output failure, hypoalbuminemia, and septicemia. Common underlying etiologies are psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and other spongiotic dermatoses, drug hypersensitivity reactions, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The cause of ED is unknown (idiopathic) in approximately 20% of cases. This case report describes a probable association of Exfoliative Dermatitis with Gabapentin. Gabapentin, 1-(aminomethyl) cyclohexane acetic acid,was licensed for use as an antiepileptic agent(4) .While no conclusive report of Exfoliative dermatitis with Gabapentin have been published in the literature(5-7). Exfoliative Dermatitis , commonly iatrogenic, also has a very unpredictable timeline after initiation of the causative agent(8).


A CDMA system for a high mobility environment is considered. The radio channel examined is a multipath Rayleigh fading channel with intersymbol interference (ISI) applicable to a heavily built up urban environment. In such environments, the maximum number of simultaneous users is seriously limited by the hostile propagation conditions and the rapidly changing multiple access interference (MAI) from other users. This paper examines a practical implementation of an improved LMS-LMMSE receiver for wideband CDMA systems operating over a fast fading channel. The numerical results with very short spreading sequences demonstrate that the modified adaptive algorithm improves the performance of the adaptive LMMSE receiver remarkably in fading channels. The performance is compared to that of a standard LMS receiver.


The education sector is an important one as the finance and healthcare sectors. Verification and security are appointed as an essential concern on universities campuses and after students leave. Data infringements target the records of students to steal data that can be sold by hackers or employed to make unauthentic identities. The blockchain technology (BCT) can be utilised to protect students records and identities; moreover, to make these attacks ineffective. Since data digitisation is becoming widely used by the school from nursery to university, blockchain technology can be vital in ensuring the privacy of students. Furthermore, the selected course information and the learning interactions graph can be stored in a ledger to identify learning patterns, enhance teaching, and build up new learning models. Over and above, BCT can be used to plan the strategy of the funding and to reward students for their achievements. Moreover, BCT can be employed to identify how the university can be restructured according to employers and students' new requirements. To summarise, BCT can boost the system of education in different methods. This technology is ideal for secure information networking, sharing, and storage. Also, the utilizing of BCT can be a benefit in safer, easier, and faster processes.


It is hypothesized that children with specific language impairment (SLI) will have difficulties in the acquisition of complex syntactic structures. The studies reported provide evidence of linguistic vulnerability at the level of formulation of complex syntactic structures, specifically relative clauses, in three children with SLI participating in a longitudinal familial case study. In language samples, the proband omitted obligatory relative markers in subject relative clauses and made errors in selecting relative markers in object relative clauses. Two other children in the family, identified as SLI, evidenced omissions of obligatory subject relative markers in language sample data and elicited data. Of the five children in the family with a negative clinical history, omission of subject relative markers in language sample and elicited data was observed in only one child. The findings are consistent with Leonard's functional category deficits account of the grammatical limitations of children with SLI.

The photolysis of Humic Acids (HA) extracted from Moroccan soil in water under simulated sunlight method has been studied. The photochemical degradation of HA in concentration (30 mg/L) has been followed by TOC (Total Organic Carbon) and E4/E6 ratio (The E4/E6 value widely used to characterize humic acids is the ratio of absorption intensities at 465 and 665 nm). HA were found photostable after 24 h of irradiation exposure and produce a screen effect on photochemical degradation of TRB (Tribenuron-methyl) and IMAZ (Imazapyr) herbicides.


Perioperative data are essential to investigating the causes of adverse surgical outcomes. In some low to middle income countries, these data are computationally inaccessible due to a lack of digitization of surgical flowsheets. In this paper, we present a deep image segmentation approach using a U-Net architecture that can detect hand-drawn symbols on a flowsheet graph. The segmentation mask outputs are post-processed with techniques unique to each symbol to convert into numeric values. The U-Net method can detect, at the appropriate time intervals, the symbols for heart rate and blood pressure with over 99 percent accuracy. Over 95 percent of the predictions fall within an absolute error of five when compared to the actual value. The deep learning model outperformed template matching even with a small size of annotated images available for the training set.

A nerve net containing both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and non-specific cholinesterases (ChE) was demonstrated together with a corresponding adrenergic nerve net in the dilator region of the rat iris with a specially developed combination of the techniques for showing cholinesterases and adrenergic nerves. There is no such correspondence between adrenergic nerve fibres and AChE-containing fibres of the iridic vessels, indicating a purely sympathetic innervation of them. Only AChE-con taining fibres of the dilator region disappear appreciably upon chronic parasympathetic denervation. Chronic sympathetic denervation does not affect the cholinesterase-staining properties. The presence of a nerve net in the dilator region, not degenerating upon sympathectomy and the purely sympathetic innervation of the iridic vessels was corroborated with methylene blue stainings. Thus, adrenergic (sympathetic) and AChE-containing (mainly parasympathetic) fibres run closely together in the vegetative network of the dilator region, but the two types of fibres may also occur separately. It has as yet not been possible to identify the structure affected by the parasympathetic fibres in the dilator region.
