The Notarial Statutes (UUJN) state that the Notary Public is a "public official" but does not explain in detail the number of public officials, so that it does not occur in multi-year. Based on the problem of government function theory, that is, the function of the Notary Society as a public official. There are many legal products that are notoriously specific, such as the Notification of the Cooperative (NPАK) in the form of a narrowing of the authority of the general public. With the narrowing of the authority of the Notary, even the function of the Notary is not effective. The purpose of this research is to find out and formulate legal reform reforms about the notification of the authority of the Notary Public as a general stakeholder in the making of an authentic. This research is a normative legal research with a legal, conceptual and historical approach. The results of the study indicate that the legal arrangement of the Notification of the Government's authority as a general stakeholder in the making of authentic items needs to be reformed. For that it is necessary to re-formulated the article that governs the notary authority as General officer, contained in the law of the notary office to return the notary office as a only general official authorized to make the deed authentic.


Time since recent consumption is an important factor in determining eating behaviour, due to the occurrence of short-term adaptation. This adaptation effect is seen in the amount consumed being reduced and is also associated with a corresponding reduction in palatability of the food recently consumed. In this series of experiments the time course of this short-term adaptation effect is investigated, using mean lick cluster size as a measure of palatability during consumption of sucrose solution in mice. It is firstly demonstrated that there is a reduction in the total number of licks as well as the mean lick cluster size after recent consumption of a sucrose solution. This is found to occur rapidly with consumption and also to recover over short time periods between feeding opportunities. However rather than there being a single short-term adaptation effect, there is found to be an inverted U-shape function of palatability with time since consumption. Two experimental confounds that may have resulted in the secondary decline in palatability are subsequently investigated. Firstly a frustrative non-reward account is investigated, before differing time in the context before consumption is also tested. As the secondary decline in palatability remains despite these factors being accounted for, it is concluded that there are two short-term adaptation processes after recent consumption of a sucrose solution.


: In central Serbia, a total of 88 species which are natural enemies of the gypsy moth, i.e. 23 predators, 49 parasitoid insects and 10 saprophagous insects, and 6 pathogens , has been reported. The most abundant of them are the insects which attack the gypsy moth in the larval instar (41 species). Regarding the number of the species, the representatives of the Hymenoptera (14 species from Ichneumonidae family and 11 species from Braconidae family) and Diptera orders (12 species from Tachinidae family and 8 species from Sarcophagidae family) are most frequent. Regarding the predators of the gypsy moth, Carabidae family, from Coleoptera order, is most frequent. In addition, at some sites Lymantria dispar nucleopolyhedrosis virus and Entomophaga maimaiga had the dominant role in the reduction of the gypsy moth density.


This paper establishes the mathematic models of the annual expenses of variable power supply modes,infers the reasonable power supply modes of rural network,then gives economical argumentations for the feasibility of the reconstruction of existing power supply modes,and educes the minimum operating years of existing rural power network under variable load densities.It is suggested that in new rural power network,110/10kV supply mode is the top-priority,35/10kV substations should be controlled properly,and 110/20kV supply mode can be used as experimental applications.


General Relativity is one of the fundamental theories of modern physics. Since its formulation by Einstein in 1915, it has been a cornerstone of our understanding of the universe. Mathematical research on the problems of general relativity brings together many important areas of research in partial differential equations, differential geometry, dynamical systems, analysis and numerical analysis. The fundamental mathematical questions which arise in general relativity have stimulated the development of substantial new tools in analysis and geometry. Conversely, the introduction of modern tools from these fields have recently led to significant developments in general relativity, shedding new light on a number of deep and far reaching conjectures. The rigorous mathematical study of Einstein's theory began just over sixty years ago, with Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat's proof that Einstein's theory has a well-posed Cauchy problem. This describes the dynamic evolution of space-time from a set of admissible initial data. The Cauchy problem is the cornerstone perspective of most modern mathematical approaches to the subject and has been the setting for many of the great accomplishments in the field. Notable subsequent developments include the Singularity Theorems of Hawking and Penrose during the late 1960's, the proof of the the positive mass theorem in the early 1980's by Schoen and Yau (and independently by Witten, in the case of spin manifolds) and the establishment of the non-linear stability of Minkowski space-time in the early 1990's by Christodoulou and Klainerman. The Einstein equation shares issues of convergence, collapse and stability with important geometric evolution equations such as the Ricci flow and the mean curvature flow. Asymptotic behavior at singularities as well as questions related to asymptotic geometrization have been and continue to be intensely studied in each of these settings. Elliptic problems and techniques play a central role in studying the initial data sets in the context of the Cauchy problem, and in the study of global inequalities and the role of marginally outer trapped surfaces (apparent horizons). The analysis of the Riemannian Einstein equation plays a fundamental role in modern Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis. Recent developments in General Relativity have brought many ideas and techniques which have been developed in the Riemannian context to bear on the Lorentzian Einstein equations. One example of this type of development is the realization that marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS), which are relevant for our understanding of quasilocal aspects of black holes, have many properties in common with minimal surfaces. Many recent results in this area have been inspired in part by this connection.


Objective To observe the effects of arsenic on the cell viability,apoptosis and the protein expression of synaptophysin(SYN) and growth associated protein43(GAP-43) in primary cultured hippocampal neurons of rats. Methods The hippocampal neurons taken from newborn SD rats were cultured in vitro. The morphological changes,apoptosis and protein expression of SYN and GAP-43 were detected after the cells were incubated with sodium arsenite at the doses of 0.00, 0.05,0.10, 0.20 and 0.40 μg/ml for 24 h,respectively. Results Compared with the control group, the proportion of hippocampal neurons with rich neural network decreased(P0.01), the cell apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons increased(P0.05),and SYN protein expression significantly decreased(P0.01) in 0.10, 0.20 and 0.40 μg/ml groups, and GAP-43 protein expression in all arsenic-treated groups markedly decreased(P0.01). Furthermore, there was an appreciable increase in cell apoptosis rate,and decrease in SYN and GAP-43 protein expressions with the concentration of arsenic exposure increased. Conclusion Arsenic exposure can induce the apoptosis and damage the synaptic plasticity by decreasing the protein expression of SYN and GAP-43 in primary cultured hippocampal neurons of rats.


Peripheral giant cell granuloma, also called giant cell epulis, is a disease characterized by the appearance of many giant cells exclusively in the oral soft tissues. This lesion has been the subject of frequent research by many authors. So far, however, the origin of giant cells has not been elucidated.A case of peripheral giant cell granuloma is reported. The patient was a 69-year-old woman who complained of tumor formation at gingiva of maxilla under a clinical diagnosis of epulis. The tumor was resected with alveolar bone under local anesthesia.By light microscopic findings, the surface of the tumor was covered with mucous menbrance and many giant cells were seen in the central area of the tumor reguly.With the electron microscope the giant cell had many mitochondoria and r-ER in cytoplasm. The mononuclear cells have high electron dense granules in cytoplasm and these cells resemble macropharges.


The lasso estimate for linear regression corresponds to a posterior mode when independent, double-exponential prior distributions are placed on the regression coefficients. This paper introduces new aspects of the broader Bayesian treatment of lasso regression. A direct characterization of the regression coefficients' posterior distribution is provided, and computation and inference under this characterization is shown to be straightforward. Emphasis is placed on point estimation using the posterior mean, which facilitates prediction of future observations via the posterior predictive distribution. It is shown that the standard lasso prediction method does not necessarily agree with model-based, Bayesian predictions. A new Gibbs sampler for Bayesian lasso regression is introduced.

This roundtable will focus on a concern for all teachers – long‐term learning. Entering medical students are largely conditioned to short‐term learning that is quickly forgotten. It is so prevalent that it has acquired a metaphor, "binge‐and‐purge." This type of learning can't work in medical education because the assessment now emphasizes questions that require higher order thinking to distinguish correct answers from partially correct answers. We must learn how to transform students from receivers of information into producers of their own knowledge. This session will address several questions relevant to development of such strategies that would be adaptable to a variety of venues. A lecture style presentation will be interspersed with small group discussion to address the following questions:


The combined effects of post‐rift magma emplacement and tectonic inversion on the hyper‐extended West Iberian Margin are unravelled in detail using multichannel 2D/3D seismic data. The Estremadura Spur, acting as an uplifted crustal block bounded by two first‐order transfer zones, shows evidence of four post‐rift tectonic events each with a distinctive seismic‐stratigraphic response that can be used to demonstrate the tectono‐magmatic interplay, namely: (a) the Campanian onset of magmatism (including the Fontanelas Volcano, the widespread evidence of multiple sill complexes and the detailed description of a >20 km long laccolith, the Estremadura Spur Intrusion; (b) the Campanian‐Maastrichtian NE‐SW event pervasively affecting the area, resulting in regional uplift, reverse faulting and folding; (c) the Paleocene‐mid Eocene inversion that resulted in widespread erosion and; (d) the Oligocene‐mid Miocene evidence of rejuvenated NW‐SE inversion marked by crestal faulting and forced‐fault folding establishing the final geometry of the area. The distinct deformation styles within each tectonic phase document a case of decoupled deformation between Late Cretaceous and Tertiary units, in response to the predominant stress field evolution, revealing that the magnitude of Late Cretaceous inversion is far more significant than the one affecting the latter units. A detailed analysis of the laccolith and its overburden demonstrate the distinct deformation patterns associated both with magma ascent (including extensional faulting, forced‐folding and concentric reverse faulting) and its interference as a rigid intrusive body during subsequent transpressive inversion. This reinforces the role that the combined tectono‐magmatic events played on the margin. Also analysed is the wider impact of post‐rift magmatism and the associate emplacement of sub‐lithospheric magma on the rheology of a thinned continental crust. This takes into account the simultaneous tectonic inversion of the margin, the implied alternative views on characteristic heat flow, and on how these can be incorporated in source rock organic maturity modelling.


Digital delay pulse generator is a high-accuracy and broad delay-scope digital synchronization system which is used to solve the large jitter problem of ultra short laser pulse output. The analog delay and digital delay are combined skillfully to satisfy the different requirements of delay time and the delay accuracy in all the critical points of each delay time periods.The generator provides one channel standard clock pulse output and four channel delay-pulse outputs ,the jitter of each output pulse is less than 500 ps. The output of the generator fits the requirement of the experiment very well.


In this paper we present a feature-based registration algorithm for largely misaligned bright-field light microscopy images and transmission electron microscopy images. We first detect cell centroids, using a gradient-based single-pass voting algorithm. Images are then aligned by finding the flip, translation and rotation parameters, which maximizes the overlap between pseudo-cell-centers. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, by comparing it to manually aligned images. Combining registered light and electron microscopy images together can reveal details about cellular structure with spatial and high-resolution information.


Artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted human life at many levels, entailing economic and societal changes. AI algorithms are increasingly used by organizations to generate predictions that feed into decisions (e.g., who is eligible for insurance coverage, approved for bank loans, selected for job interviews). Since the data used for developing the algorithms can contain bias such as gender or racial prejudice, AI predictions can become discriminatory. For-profit and not-for-profit organizations face the hurdles of developing, applying, and maintaining governance of AI, making sure that goal optimization responds to ethical and fairness values.


Dear Editor, Pakistan is a land of diverse culture and languages, although the official language is English along with national language as Urdu, yet large populations, specially residing in rural areas knows neither of the two languages and have their own native lingo. Hence we have a good number of patients presenting to our outpatient departments who can't explain their symptoms well enough to the doctors encountering language barrier. 1 Almost all big teaching hospitals and regional tertiary care units are frequented by patients from far and wide diverse backgrounds. History taking in their local language is a main problem of the students and physicians. Often times a single word uttered by the patient is failed to be comprehend. 2 Language barriers have a big impact on doctor patients' relationship if unresolved, it decreases patients' satisfaction. Creates misunderstandings regarding diagnosis, treatment and self-care options. 3 It decreases chance of access to primary and preventive care measures. Leaves no counseling impacts on the patient. Thus In order to reach the best health outcome, doctors must communicate effectively across cultures. Looking at this from a general perspective, one can go through all the books on clinical methods and yet get stun when our patient tries to explain his problem in his native language. Thus begins the search for a translator who can understand the patient and share his concerns with the doctor. Also Feels there is a dire need that local terminologies for common symptoms in our local languages should be more often shared with the medical students particularly during the lectures , and great if displayed on charts in the OPD's, for quick reference. 4 Efforts to facilitate the physicians' linguistic competence and understanding of diverse health modalities with cultural aspect would surely be helpful for patients comfort, trust and health. We recommend that medical personnel's from diverse backgrounds should register as volunteer translators, and every tertiary care setup should have their own group of language facilitators easily accessible in the hospital to obtain first hand health information from the patients without any barrier. This would be a great effort for comprehensive medical learning, training and would enhance patients' quality of care.


Poultry litter function is to absorb several compounds or gasses from outside of the poultry house that affects poultry health. Poultry litter is a habitat for microbe's growth coming from chicken's gastrointestinal pathogens. Many studies found that the composted manure had more soil fertility which consists of many organic components. Thus, more complete nutrients and other growth factors in manure were found higher than chemical fertilizers (inorganic). It is suggested that the type of application of floor bedding could improve poultry health and increase income from manure. The objective of this study was to measure the cost of several types of floor bedding in poultry sheds. The partial budget was employed based on the literature study. The cost of the application and its related income were calculated. The calculation was modeled based on the poultry sheds then the poultry house. The study found that the partial budget analysis identified the findings lead to a strongly positive incentive for farmers to apply of floor bedding in their poultry farms. The incentive may drive poultry farmers in West Java to pay attention to invest in decent poultry barn to improve poultry health. Keywords—poultry, floor bedding, partial budgeting, gastrointestinal pathogens


T his is an ambitious and complex work. In it, Dennis Carlson describes the emergence of the so-called "basic skills" educational reform movement in the United States and characterizes these reforms as responses to four major, interrelated urban school ''crises/' The American educational system has been unable to solve a host of social problems: to ensure that students learn the functional literacy skills they need for the workplace, to improve social and economic opportunities for Urban students, to attract funding sufficient for systemic reform, or to defuse student resistance. The reader is carried down the educational system through a single, multilevel case, first exploring the nature of legislative support for basic skills reforms in "Midstate, then observing how these reforms reinforce traditional authority relations between teachers and administrators in the "Urbanville school districts, and finally noting their adverse impact on teachers work with students in classrooms in "McKirtley Middle School/ The weaving of game theory and neo-Marxist, Weberian, and poststructural elements makes a compelling argument for the use of integrated theoretical approaches to explain institutional level phenomena.


CNT is considered to be a promising reinforcing material because of its unique mechanical and physical properties.After introducing CNT's structure,properties and applications,the methods for preparation of CNTs composite coatings(including electroless plating and electrodeposition) and the current investigation of the CNT's composite coating properties such as high hardness,high corrosion resistance,tribological behavior,and so on were summarized.Afterwards,the development and application prospect of the composite coating were also discussed.Some common nanotube pre-treatments were recommended to overcome the drawback of easy aggregation and difficult dispersion due to the peculiarities of large ratio of longitudinal axis length to diameter,chemical inertness and large surface curvature.

We revisit the shapes of isophotes for elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies by studying 847 nearby early-type galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 with velocity dispersions above 200 km/s. The IRAF task {\tt ellipse} was used to derive the deviations of the isophotes from pure ellipses (Fourier coefficients a_3/a and a_4/a), position angles and ellipticities as a function of radius. We show the statistical distributions of the a_3/a and a_4/a parameters as a function of velocity dispersion, magnitude, and colour. The a_4/a parameter is correlated with the ellipticity and absolute Petrosian magnitude of galaxies. No significant correlation was found between the a_4/a parameter with colour and velocity dispersion. A cross-correlation between the FIRST survey and the SDSS data reveals a lack of powerful radio emitters in discy E/S0s, as previously found by Bender et al. We also find that boxy E/S0s favor denser environments while discy E/S0s favor more isolated environments. The median values of changes in the ellipticity and position angle between one and one and a half Petrosian half-light radii in the isophotes are about -0.023 and 1.61 degree respectively. The average change in the position angle is much larger, about 4.12 degree, due to an extended tail. The change in ellipticity is weakly correlated with the ellipticity itself, with an increasing ellipticity for galaxies with higher ellipticity as the radius increases. The isophote parameters for the 847 galaxies are available online.


Shallow lakes are important freshwater resources which have the functions of flood control,transportation,agriculture,aquaculture,tourism,drinking and ecological protection.The environmental quality of shallow lakes is highly relevant to human health and sustainable development of society and economy.Rapid urbanization and economic development have resulted,progressively,in deteriorating freshwater conditions.In Jiangsu Province,there are about 200 freshwater lakes with a total surface area of 6 853km2 that account for 6%of the total land area of this province.These lakes are all shallow lakes and are subject to disturbances by natural and human activities.In the past decades,human activities have caused serious environmental problems,such as eutrophication,heavy metal pollutions,organic pollutions and habitat degradation.In order to characterize heavy metals pollution in surface sediments of shallow lakes in Jiangsu Province,the contents of eight heavy metals(Mn,Zn,Cr,Ni,Cu,As,Cd and Pb)in surface sediments from eight shallow lakes were measured by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer(ICP-AES)and mass spectrometer(ICP-MS),and the geoaccumulation index and the Hkanson potential ecological risk index were applied for assessing the status of sediment heavy metal enrichment and the extent of potential ecological risk.The average content of heavy metals in surface sediments of these lakes were in the range of 634-1 031,66-138,76.0-97.5,39.2-56.3,25.2-50.1,9.9-27.1,0.15-2.98,and 24.6-51.6mg/kg for Mn,Zn,Cr,Ni,Cu,As,Cd,and Pb,respectively.The results from correlation analysis showed that Cr and Ni have the similar origin with Mn,Zn,Cu,Pb,respectively.The results of geo-accumulation index indicated that Cd was the main pollutant in surface sediments of these lakes,Zn,Cu,As,Pb and Ni caused light pollution in some lakes,and Mn and Cr were at a clean level.For the different lakes examined in the present study,the general indices of potential ecological risk followed the order of Changdang LakeShijiu LakeBaima LakeGehu LakeGaoyou LakeHongze LakeChenghu LakeLuoma Lake.Changdang Lake reached the serious ecological risk level,and heavy ecological risk existed in Shijiu Lake.Baima Lake and Gehu Lake had moderate ecological risks,while Luoma Lake,Hongze Lake,Gaoyou Lake and Chenghu Lake imposed low ecological risks.

In the present operation of hovercraft, there is a wide disparity between potential and practice, and myth and reality. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to clarify and explain certain facts and limitations attendant to the operation of hovercraft. In undertaking these objectives, the author 1) explains hovercraft characteristics and performance, describing three distinct types: fully amphibious, semi-amphibious, and rigid sidewall types; 2) discusses capital and operating costs of hovercraft; 3) describes the operation of hovercraft in specific environments - the open seas, lakes, rivers, intertidal zones, and on solid ground; and 4) discusses possible future developments in the hovercraft industry. The author concludes, as a result of his discussion and other evidence, that at this stage in its development, the amphibious hovercraft cannot be regarded as an important factor in increasing mobility.


This research concentrates on the impact of diffuser and nozzle angles as changed parameters on flow velocity at diffuser passage. Diffuser length, nozzle length, throat diameter are fixed and diffuser and nozzle angles are varied 5̊ to 30̊ and 5̊ to 15̊ while the flow field analysis has been carried out using commercial software ANSYS CFX .The simulation results also show that diffuser and nozzle angles at (30,̊15)̊ are the optimum angles that accelerates flow to the turbine. The velocity at these optimum angles are higher than other angles which cause the turbine can generate more power output. After getting the optimal inletnozzle diffuser design, numerical analysis for the designed hydrokinetic axial flow turbine with inlet-nozzle diffuser have been performed by using ANSYS CFX. This study also focuses on the flow velocity and pressure variation around the turbine due to the effect of inlet nozzle diffuser. Hence, the installation of diffuser around the conventional turbine significantly increases its power output capabilities. The proposed turbine design is intended to use at the irrigation channel so that turbine diameter and flow velocity is considered based on the selected location. According to the simulation results, incoming velocity 1.50 m/s at the throat of the turbine was increased up to 4.03 m/s and the preliminary designed turbine power output 210 W was increased to 288 W by installing inlet-nozzle diffuser to the hydrokinetic axial flow turbine.


You enter the place called theatre or playhouse to see the play; you find your place there; then the play takes place. You yourself also come here to play, at least in your own mind, knowing that the play also takes place inside you. What's out there is also in here. Secretly, you are the theatre, the playhouse, the place of the play, where your own life may seem to be staged right before your eyes; and here, under cover of private hiddenness, it gives up its secrets—if you have eyes to see. Your seeing eyes see both ways at once, the outer stage and the mirror stage within, the in/out threshold, the (double) ocular axis upon which your inner play plays out— the thea (Gk.), the view and the viewing that you, theates (Gk.), viewer, behold in the place of viewing: the theatre. It's all you—well, it's also all the world.


In this paper, we propose a new transmit diversity scheme using window functions in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Transmit diversity of the scheme is varied with window functions and the condition of the window function to maximize transmit diversity is derived. The proposed scheme can be considered as a generalization of the diversity schemes such as cyclic delay diversity (CDD), orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD), and frequency switched transmit diversity (FSTD).


This article focuses on Jupiter ' s reign and on searching for the ideal form of government in Claudian ' s mythological epic De Raptu Proserpinae. It suggests an interpretation of Jupiter ' s reign which is based on the meaning of the two prefaces of the epic. The characters of the two prefaces, the first sailor in the first preface, and Hercules and Orpheus in the second one, are considered to be models of behaviour which are examined and problematized in the story of the epic. While the narrator does not evaluate Jupiter ' s reign explicitly, he presents it as a functional combination of Herculean and Orphean motifs and of the motif of the first sailor ' s audacity. Thus De Raptu Proserpinae offers its reader the opportunity to think about what the ideal form of government should be like.


Backgrounds and Aims: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality across the world. Non-viral etiological factors including obesity and metabolic syndrome have now become prevalent cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway is activated in hepatocellular carcinoma but its role in regulation of lipogenic molecules during the hepatocarcinogenesis is not known. The aim of present study is to explore the role of SHH pathway in fatty changes associated with hepatocarcinogenesis at different stages and to further correlate the expression of SHH with lipogenic pathways. Results: Our results demonstrated significant increase in lipidosis and fibrosis in DEN+CCl4 treated animals. It was simultaneously associated with the enhanced expression level of SHH, E2F1, adiponectin, and lipogenic molecules in DEN+CCl4 treated animals. These results were also corroborated with the similar findings in higher stage patients' biospecimens. Methods: N-Nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) and Carbon TetraChloride (CCl4) induced hepatocellular acrcinoma model in male Wistar rats were established to study the expression level of SHH pathway and associated fatty changes during different stages of hepatocarcinogenesis. The expression levels of SHH, E2F1, and lipogenic molecules were checked at different stages of hepatocellular carcinoma. These results were further compared with biospecimens of hepatocellular carcinoma patients of different stages. Conclusions: Our results revealed an unknown aspect of SHH pathway in hepatocarcinogenesis via its control over lipogenesis. It gives insight into the lipogenic properties of DEN+CCl4 induced rodent hepatocarcinogenesis model and how SHH pathway operate to arbitrate this response.

Ophthalmic lesions in Sjogren's disease are among the most pronounced, they significantly complicate the patient's life. Along with Sjogren's disease, there is the so−called Sjogren's syndrome, which is a similar lesion of the salivary and lacrimal glands, which develops in 5−25 % of the patients with systemic connective tissue diseases and in 50−75 % with chronic autoimmune diseases. The main sign of damage to the lacrimal glands is the development of dry keratoconjunctivitis, which in severe cases can lead to complications in the form of corneal ulcers, up to the threat of perforation. The study of the effectiveness of various drugs in the treatment of symptomatic therapy showed that the problem of achieving a lasting effect of correction of ophthalmic manifestations has not been currently solved. In order to study the effectiveness of the drug "Encad−Biolik®" (Kharkiv, Ukraine) to stimulate the reparative processes of the cornea as part of the complex therapy of Sjogren's disease were examined 15 patients (30 eyes) who received the drug "Encad−Biolik®" in the form of intramuscular injections and bath phonophoresis. The duration of treatment was 8.0 days, the time of complete epithelialization of the cornea made 7.4 days. In the eyes of two patients who had corneal ulcers, the process was stopped, resulting in a slight cloud−like turbidity. The results of the study demonstrate that the use of the drug "Encad−Biolik®" in the patients with Sjogren's disease was not accompanied by side effects and reduced the duration of corneal epithelialization, duration of treatment, and improved structural results in corneal healing.

Key words: Sjogren's disease, "Encad−Biolik®", cornea, epithelialization.


Summary: The aim of the study was to evaluate effects of sex, slaughter weight and season on carcass characteristics of Lika Pramenka lambs (30 males and 30 females). All lambs were reared traditionally on natural pastures within two seasons and were slaughtered at the age of five months. Male lambs had deeper chests and longer hind legs than females. Furthermore, male lambs had higher proportion of shoulder, hind legs, shank, head, and lower proportion of rack. Female lambs had lower bone and muscle proportions and higher fat proportions in individual cuts. Slaughter weight significantly affected hot carcass weight, dressing percentage, stomach with intestines, lungs with hearth, skin with feet, chest depth, proportion of belly, shank, kidney knob and channel fat. Season affected all slaughter traits, linear measurements and non-carcass components (except spleen and skin with feet). Furthermore, season affected proportion of neck, rack, hind legs, shank, belly, flank, and fat and bone proportions in the carcass i.e. fat proportion in shoulder, rack, loin, hind legs and belly, and muscle proportion in rack and belly. In order to provide more uniform lambs at the market it is necessary to assure typical feeds in unfavourable seasons and slaughter lambs at narrower weight ranges. Since typical and "natural" meat products are gaining popularity it is necessary to conduct more detailed studies with sensory evaluation and consumers included.


The Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is a contagious disease with a worldwide distribution, caused by a Pestivirus that causes significant economic losses due to reproductive problems in animals. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and incidence of BVD in six cattle farms located in the Canuto parish, Chone canton, and Manabi province. The study was divided in two stages, first 430 animal blood sera previously collected in another study to determine the prevalence of Infectious Bovine Rinotracheitis (IBR), were processed and analized at Agrocalidad laboratories and were analyzed by the ELISA Total Ab Test (IDEXX), and distributed in the following categories: breed, sex, age and animals infected with both diseases IBR and BVD; we found 8.83% seropositive cattle...

The classification of low order mountain valleys was made for three regions of East Siberia: Aldansky. Kularsky. and Lensky. It is based on channel types and showed the catholicity and reliability of mountain river classification developed by R.S. Chalov. Channels of different type may form the valleys of the same order but having different morphometric parameters. At the same time the valleys with identical type of channels differ from each other when their formation occurs in different types of mountain relief.


The essay briefly explores the nature and influence of three formative stories within the biography of Afrikaans Christian women: their relation of family/friends, society, and the Bible/church.  These stories collectively determine and reflect the identity and ethos not only of Christian women, but of the church at large, and even more basically, the church's understanding of God.  In conclusion, some strategic suggestions are made from within reformist feminist discourse, focusing on the urgent challenge regarding the formation of moral agency in terms of the transformative potential of Scripture (with the epistle to the Ephesians as a case study).


Purpose: Revision surgery after failed open stabilisation can be difficult and challenging. Arthroscopy has been utilised for assessment and preoperative planning, but there are few reports of arthroscopic stabilisation as the definitive revision procedure.

Methods: We reviewed our experience of 12 cases requiring revision, including one originally stabilised at our own institution. There were 9 males and 3 females, with an average age of 27 years assessed at an average of 18 months (range 6–46 months) following arthroscopic revision. Patients were scored using the SF-12, simple shoulder test, and Walch-Duplay outcome measures.

Results: The cases were revised arthroscopically from 6 months to 11 years after the open procedure, which included Bankart repairs (with and without suture anchors), capsular shifts and Putti-Platt procedures. Eight cases were successfully revised for symptomatic recurrent anterior instability, and in all capsulolabral reconstruction was carried out using a knotless anchor technique. In two cases secondary posterior instability was managed either by posterior labral repair or by balancing anterior release. In two cases disabling postsurgical stiffness was managed by arthroscopic anterior release with improvement in functional range of motion.

Summary: Open surgical stabilisation can be complicated by recurrent instability or stiffness, or may be followed by further trauma in this active athletic population. Arthroscopy enables detailed and more thorough diagnosis of the reason for failure. These early results demonstrate that arthroscopic revision is safe and feasible, facilitates a range of intra-articular surgical options and provides outcomes that may be comparable with open revision.


A question that is often formulated by people interested in the history of mathematics is: Did Newton use his calculus in the Principia? This question comes very naturally to mind, since Newton discovered the calculus of fluxions before writing the Principia. It is just obvious to think that Newton had employed the calculus in order to mathematize his natural philosophy. However, very little trace of calculus techniques is to be found in the Principia, which are mostly written in 'geometric style'. On the other hand, some propositions of the Principia are framed in a geometric language which appears to be very easily translatable into calculus concepts. Thus our question is very tricky.

As a matter of fact, the question of the presence of calculus in the Principia has been debated since the 169Os, when Fontenelle stated that almost the whole work is about the differential calculus. The question played an important role in the muddled context of the priority dispute with Leibniz. Since then the opinions of mathematicians and Newtonian scholars have been very contradictory and our question seems still to be waiting for a definite answer. In order to achieve an understanding of Newton's use of calculus in his mugnum opus, we have to consider the exchange of information between a restricted group of adherents to the Newtonian school.

By analyzing a group of manuscripts written by Newton and by some of his disciples (D. Gregory, Keill and Cotes), it is possible to show that in some propositions of the Principiu Newton did employ calculus techniques. More precisely it can be shown that he employed his highly algorithmic techniques for squaring curves. The answer to our question must be a resounding yes.

The fact that Newton and his disciples knew how to apply the calculus to the science of motion and force implies a new question. Why did they keep the fluxional equations of motion almost entirely hidden? Their attitude is very puzzling, since the application of calculus to the science of motion appears to us as one of the main trends of the development of eighteenth century mathematics. In fact the Leibnizians pursued with enthusiasm a programme of application of the differential and integral calculus to dynamics, giving great publicity to it. On the contrary, the Newtonians, when dealing with natural philosophy, preferred to keep fluxions at the level of private exchange. In the last part of this paper I will address this new question, focusing on the different validation criteria active within the two schools. I will show that different values, expectations and research priorities determined a different approach towards the use of calculus methods in natural philosophy, and consequently an adoption in the two schools of different policies of publication.


We present Pycket, a high-performance tracing JIT compiler for Racket. Pycket supports a wide variety of the sophisticated features in Racket such as contracts, continuations, classes, structures, dynamic binding, and more. On average, over a standard suite of benchmarks, Pycket outperforms existing compilers, both Racket's JIT and other highly-optimizing Scheme compilers. Further, Pycket provides much better performance for Racket proxies than existing systems, dramatically reducing the overhead of contracts and gradual typing. We validate this claim with performance evaluation on multiple existing benchmark suites. The Pycket implementation is of independent interest as an application of the RPython meta-tracing framework (originally created for PyPy), which automatically generates tracing JIT compilers from interpreters. Prior work on meta-tracing focuses on bytecode interpreters, whereas Pycket is a high-level interpreter based on the CEK abstract machine and operates directly on abstract syntax trees. Pycket supports proper tail calls and first-class continuations. In the setting of a functional language, where recursion and higher-order functions are more prevalent than explicit loops, the most significant performance challenge for a tracing JIT is identifying which control flows constitute a loop---we discuss two strategies for identifying loops and measure their impact.


We investigate the presence of managerial skills in different categories of hedge funds. Our approach is more flexible that others [7, 10] since it does not make any a priori assumptions regarding the distribution of returns. We find that the Global Macro and Market Neutral funds do not follow a pure random walk. In fact, for both these models the drift parameter is statistically significant. This result rejects our initial hypothesis that hedge funds (expected-excess) returns are on average zero. Indeed, the positive intercept can be interpreted as evidence of managerial skill. We conclude that investors seeking to invest in hedge funds should consider Market Neutral funds and Global Macro funds as possible investments.

Pulse-induced plasma chemical process (PPCP) is a novel means of processing with a very large potential in various applications, including removal of NO, SO2, HCl, Hg vapor, and other gaseous pollutants from combustion gases, composition of new gaseous and solid substances, production of ultra-fine particulate materials, treatment of surfaces, etc. This is because PPCP can raise Linder normal pressure the electron temperature for production of active chemical species, such as OH radical, O, O3, O2, O2, N, N2, etc., without, raising ion temperature, which had been possible only by high frequency glow discharge under a low pressure condition. The authors developed a reliable nanosecond pulse high voltage generator allowing a continuous operation necessary to realize the PPCP as industrial devices. As one of its R&D program series the author investigated DeNOx and DeSOx of combustion gas by PPCP, and confirmed that DeNOx is possible by both positive and negative pulsings, and DeSOx only by positive pulsing. NO is oxidized by PPCP to NO, which is removed again by PPCP. The reaction speed by PPCP with positive pulsing is more than one order of magnitude higher than that by negative pulsing applicable to electrostatic precipitators. The reaction speed is greatly enhanced by raising the peak field intensity, which requires the use of very sharp pulse. The speed is also enhanced by raising pulse frequency, lowering gas temperature, and using sharp corona wires. The oxidation of NO and removal of NO2 can proceed without O2 and moisture, but it is greatly enhanced by them. The addition of NH3 enhances also NO2-removal, possibly by its NO2-scavenging effect from gas phase, while it does not enhance NO-oxidation. The combination of PPCP with the Electron Beam DeNOx and DeSOx does not produce non-linear enhancing effect other than the independent any effect by PPCP alone.


The traditional Internet of things data security focuses on the application of various security protection technologies, but this protection method is difficult to effectively cope with the growing protection needs and changing product forms. It needs to be constructed from two aspects of technology and management combined with the hierarchical protection system. Based on this, this paper first analyses the concept of Internet of things data security protection measures and level protection, and then studies the specific application process of hierarchical protection in computer Internet of things data security.


Banyuwangi is a city with natural beauty and cultural uniqueness. One its cultures is Osing. Because it has many art performances, Banyuwangi does not yet have a special place to accommodate all art activities. Tourism in coastal areas has a high potential because it offers the beauty of natuew in every corner as its main atrraction. Banyuwangi Opera House is a combination of Banyuwangi Gandrung dance, patrol music, and Umbul-Umbul Blambangan song. Descriptive method was employed in this study using the results of comparative studies on art performance buildings that have cultural history. This design was made as an icon to describe the characteristics of Banyuwangi. The shape is an analogy from the typology of Osing Architecture consisting of tikel, baresan, and cerocogan by modifying the planes. Osing spatial planning includes bale, jrumah, and pawon with a space arrangement from front to back combine with colors identical to the distinctive Gandrung Sewu dance attire, namely red, yellow, and black. From the results of this study, it is expected that young generations can protect and preserve the wisdom of local culture through works of art.


This article discusses the use of complex rhythmic structures, such as tuplets within triplets in piece Percussion Study II, of 1993, by the Brazilian composer Arthur Kampela. In some cases, it will be shown notational procedures of complex writing by British composer Brian Ferneyhoug. By turning a quarter note in one of five tuplet, Ferneyhough uses an above the tuplet symbology, indicating that there are five sixteenth notes instead of four sixteenths; the British composer thus uses an indication of the same rhythmic figure, using the sixteenth note. In Percussion Study II, Arthur Kampela uses a peculiar writing in which he does the same indication of rhythmic figures such as Brian Ferneyhough. This article proposes a discussion about this peculiar writing in Percussion Study II and finally there will be shown the complex script from the standpoint of other composers such as Pierre Boulez, and from this vision, will be offered other possibilities notational Percussion in Study II.


With the development of digital printing, the needs for evaluating digital printing increase. In this study, the factors affecting the quality of digital prints are analyzed, and a set of digital prints noise detection system, test charts and evaluation methods are established by decoding the formation mechanism of the noise. Experiments showed that the noise had been affected by the type of paper, the image forming method of digital printing, the toner particles closely related in particular. As a result, this study can be used to select and optimize the printing's outputting resolution to ensure printing quality based on subjective and objective evaluation the noise of digital printing.


Photoelectric observations of the WR binary CQ Cephei (WN6+O9) are presented. the depths of the eclipses in the light curves are best represented by an inclination of the orbit i = (68°.8±0.6) and the width of the very asymmetric eclipse curves can be represented by only an overcontact configuration (Ω1 = Ω2 = 3.65 ± 0.05, and f = 27%). Simultaneous solution of the light and radial velocity curves strongly supports CQ Cep's membership of the Cep OB1 association. By considering this membership we obtained absolute dimensions of the system, which lead to a consistent physical model for CQ Cephei. The more luminous WR primary turns out to be the hotter but slightly less massive component: MWR = 20.8 M⊙, RWR = 8.2R⊙, Teff(WR) = 43600 K, and Mo = 21.4 M⊙, Ro = 8.3 R⊙, Teff(O) = 37000 K.


This paper is concerned with stochastic optimization in continuous time and its application in reinsurance. It deals with a model of optimization reinsurance which makes it possible to maximize the technical benefit of an insurance company and to minimize the risk for a given period. Indeed, here we discuss a stochastic optimal control problem to determine the optimal risk management strategy, the purpose of which is to identify the appropriate level of transfer rate for "quota share" reinsurance contracts, which are most appropriate to the risk profile of an insurance company. In addition, we use a resolution approach based on dynamic programming and the HJB equation in order to reach the aforementioned aim, which is finding the optimal strategy for reinsurance to adapt better for insurance company.


The two -dimensional (2D) pressure spectra and the modal amp litudes of fan broadband noise, generated due to fan turbulence interacting with downstream stator, are computed using Hanson's recently developed PS -3D source prediction code. The 2D pressure spectra predictions generally compared reasonably well with th e NASA Fan Noise Source Diagnostic Test (SDT) measurements, including the effects of stator sweep and vane count. The predictions show that it is not a good approximation to use equal distribution of energy in the modes for liner design. The predicted br oadband source modal amplitudes are coupled to a duct propagation code to compute the noise propagation in fan exhaust ducts. The relative modal power attenuations due to optimum liner impedance are presented.


Abstract This conceptual article examines brand orientation as an alternative to market orientation in the public sector. The problem with market orientation is that the focus on customers is too great; it is myopic, and lacks true interaction; it is mechanistic, and the emphasis on economic values is too strong. In this light, brand orientation becomes an interesting alternative. Brand orientation is more powerful, since it provides a holistic and balanced perspective on an organisation, diminishing the risk of too much focus on customers, which leads to myopia. Brand orientation is more robust because it emphasises continuity coupled with dynamics and interaction, diminishing the risk of short-sightedness and reactivity. Brand orientation also facilitates prioritisation of democratic values, diminishing the risk of too much focus on economic values.


With the rapid development of computer, central processing unit + graphics processing unit (CPU+GPU) isomeric system is becoming more and more common, which has strong computing power and can meet the requirement of application on highly intensive computation.

Abstract The AWIN project aimed at developing an on-farm welfare assessment protocol for adult dairy goats. A prototype protocol was tested in 30 intensive dairy goat farms to evaluate its feasibility in farms of different size. Time for applying the prototype was recorded and any other constraint was taken into account. Moreover, data collected during the prototype testing provided information on the prevalence of welfare issues in intensive dairy goat farms in Northern Italy. The prototype included 25 animal-based indicators (14 group- and 11 individual-level indicators). The prototype showed a good on-farm feasibility and it was highly accepted among stakeholders, as its application did not interfere with the daily routine. Approximately 2 h were required for the application of the prototype. When feeding racks were available, using them for locking the animals during the individual assessment resulted advantageous to speed the data collection and to reduce handling stress to the goats and disturbance to the farmers. Farm size and different management systems influenced the prevalence of some indicators, with small farms in general better welfare conditions compared to larger farms. The results of the present study represent an important starting point to set up an epidemiological database that may lead to improve the welfare status of goats.


Button BPM is being designed for the Hefei Advanced Light Source(HALS) storage ring, which is a diffractionlimited storage ring (DLSR) located at the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory(NSRL) in Hefei city. Since beam size is very small, the required resolution of 50 nm for beam position measurement need to be obtained. The parameters of the HALS Button BPM are initially determined. According to theoretical formulas, electrode induced signal is calculated and the relationship between electrode induced signal and beam current is obtained. Signal to noise ratio(SNR)of the HALS Button BPM is calculated with different beam current when the required resolution is 50 nm. The results show that the SNR is 33.14 dB when beam current is 100 mA. In addition, the effects of BPM RF frequency and button electrode radius on SNR are analyzed. INTRODUCTION NSRL is ongoing the project of Research and Development for HALS. The parameters for the HALS are shown in Table 1. Since beam size is very small(sub-um level), beam orbit instability is very important. The required beam position resolution is 50 nm. This index is a challenge for BPM system. High resolution Button BPM sensor, High stability support and high-performance BPM electronics need to be developed or designed. This paper focuses on the introduction of design and calculation of the Button BPM for the HALS storage ring.

A basic method of range sum observation data simulation for Low Earth Orbiter(LEO)precise orbit determination(POD)was constructed by statistical analysis of ranging error characteristic,and a precise orbit determination model was established based on satellite dynamics equation.On the above model,an improved precise orbit determination algorithm was designed based on numerical fusion algorithm and ranging system error parameters estimation algorithm,and six kinds of simulation experiments were carried out.Simulation computation results show that LEO orbit determination precision can achieve 15.98 meters which is estimated by one day range sum simulation data,and under the same simulation conditions,it is equivalent to that of other precise orbit determination software system.But the algorithm avoids solving LEO state transition matrix,and has the characteristic of faster computation velocity and higher stability.


Type 2 diabetes is increasingly diagnosed in obese children and adolescents. Evidence suggests that this disease commonly progresses more rapidly in youth compared to adults, and is associated with high rates of early microalbuminuria, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study was the first multiethnic, multicenter randomized trial in the United States to compare three treatment approaches in new onset type 2 diabetes in obese youth (n=699; ages 10–17): monotherapy with metformin, metformin with roziglitazone, and metformin with an intensive lifestyle intervention. The primary outcome was glycemic control. Diabetes-related complications and cardiovascular risk factors were also examined. Approximately half of the participants were unable to maintain glycemic control using metformin alone. Combination therapy of metformin with rosiglitazone resulted in better durability of glycemic control, and the metformin plus intensive lifestyle was intermediate but not superior to metformin alone. Deterioration in glycemic control was associated with rapid loss of beta cell function, not worsened insulin sensitivity, and could not be explained by differences in adherence or BMI. After 3.9 years, 33.8% of participants had hypertension and 16.6% had microalbuminuria. Only 55.9% of participants had an LDL-cholesterol <100 mg/dl after 3 years and 13.7% had retinopathy. The significance of the findings from this important trial for the management of youth and young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes and its complications is discussed. An aggressive multifaceted approach is needed to prevent or forestall premature microvascular and macrovascular complications in youth-onset type 2 diabetes.


Recently, actor-critic methods have drawn significant interests in the area of reinforcement learning, and several algorithms have been studied along the line of the actor-critic strategy. In this paper, we consider a new type of actor-critic algorithms employing the kernel methods, which have recently shown to be very effective tools in the various fields of machine learning, and have performed investigations on combining the actor-critic strategy together with kernel methods. More specifically, this paper studies actor-critic algorithms utilizing the kernel-based least-squares estimation and policy gradient, and in its critic's part, the study uses a sliding-window-based kernel least-squares method, which leads to a fast and efficient value-function-estimation in a nonparametric setting. The applicability of the considered algorithms is illustrated via a robot locomotion problem and a tunnel ventilation control problem.


Well known Belgian psychologist Prof. Marc Richelle offers here an autobiographical presentation of his career both as a psychologist and as a researcher and university professor in the fi eld.


A Spectrophotometric investigation was applied on the complexation of 1,3-bis (3-(2-pyridyl) pyrazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene (1,3-PPB) and 1,4-bis (3-(2-pyridyl) pyrazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene (1,4-PPB) with Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions in a mixed (1:1) solvent of water and ethanol. The mole ratio methodology was used to calculate the stoichiometry, molar absorptivity, and stability constant values. Some experimental conditions have been investigated, including pH, ionic strength, solvent composition, and time. The results revealed the production of 1:1 complexes. In terms of ligands, 1,4-PPB was more stable than 1,3-PPB, whereas Cd(II) complexes were more stable than Zn(II) complexes. The complexes' molar absorptivity values were determined to be 5744, 10019, 9414, and 17716 l.mol-1.cm-1 for Cd-1,3-PPB, Cd-1,4-PPB, Zn-1,3-PBB, and Zn-1,4-PBB, respectively. The sensitivities for Cd and Zn estimation by complexation with 1,3-PPB and 1,4-PPB, respectively, were determined to be 0.051, 0.089, 0.114, and 0.271 mg.l-1.

Effective industrial development zones should have their own features to be extended. Efficiency can be measured by input and output. The areas of district, investment capital, and total employment were viewed as input variables. Profit and gross production were considered as output ones. Technical efficiencies of fifteen parks in Inner Mongolia were measured by Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Cobb Douglas cost function was used. The SFA models that were used were the error component mode. The results showed that the Otog, Munsey and Baotou zones had the highest efficiency. Their management modes could be concluded and learned from other zones.


SimVascular (http://www.simvascular.org) is open source software enabling users to construct image-based, patient-specific anatomic models and perform realistic blood flow simulation useful in disease research, medical device design, and surgical planning. The software consists of two core executables: a front-end application and a flow solver. The front-end application enables users to create patient-specific anatomic models from imaging data, generate finite-element meshes, prescribe boundary conditions, and set up an analysis. The finite-element based blood flow solver utilizes MPI and is massively scalable. SimVascular has been successfully integrated into graduate level courses on cardiovascular modeling at multiple institutions including Stanford, UC Berkeley, Purdue, and Marquette to introduce state-of-the-art modeling to the students and provide a basis for hands-on projects. While the front-end application can be installed and run on a laptop, the flow solver requires high performance computing (HPC) for realistic problem sizes. This provides a significant challenge for instructors as many students are unfamiliar with HPC, and local resources might be limited or difficult to administer. There is also a need to provide user and group management capabilities for courses: students should authenticate using campus credentials, instructors should be able to access students' work, and students' access to computing allocations should be limited. Our poster will detail an Apache Airavata-based science gateway to address these needs. XSEDE's Comet provides the backend computing power. This approach allows the SimVascular team to provision HPC resources and install and maintain the software providing students access at institutions across the country. The science gateway interface provides access to SimVascular's flow solver, while allowing students to use SimVascular's desktop interfaces.


Contextualist accounts of "woman," including Saul (2012), Diaz-Leon (2016), and Ichikawa (2020), aim to capture the variability of the meaning of the term, and do justice to the rights of trans women. I argue that (i) there is an internal tension between a contextualist stance and the commitment to trans-inclusive language, and that (ii) we should recognize and tackle the broader and deeper theoretical and practical difficulties implicit in the semantic debates, rather than collapsing them all into semantics. Moving on, I sketch three strategies to help us advance feminist philosophical endeavors, including how attending to contextual matters can lead us to further reflect on the meta-contextual, such as our role in shaping contexts and whether the working of language is indicative of a larger oppressive social structure.


BACKGROUND
There are several methods for the quantification of biomass in SSF, such as glucosamine measurement, ergosterol content, protein concentration, change in dry weight or evolution of CO2 production. However, all have drawbacks when obtaining accurate data on the progress of the SSF due to the dispersion in cell growth on the solid substrate, and the difficulty encountered in separating the biomass. Studying the disadvantages associated with the process of biomass quantification in SSF, the monitoring of the growth of biomass by a technique known as digital image processing (DIP), consists of obtaining information on the production of different compounds during fermentation, using colorimetric methods based on the pixels that are obtained from photographs.

OBJECTIVE
There are several. The purpose of this study was to know about the state of the technology and the advantages of DIP.

METHOD
The methodology employed four phases; the first describes the search equations for the SSF and the DIP. A search for patents related to SSF and DIP carried out in the Free Patents On line and Patent inspiration databases. Then there is the selection of the most relevant articles in each of the technologies. As a third step, Modifications for obtaining the best adjustments were also carried out; Finally, the analysis of results are done and the inflection years are determined, by means of six mathematical models widely studied.

RESULT
For these models, the inflection years were 2018 and 2019 for both the SSF and the DIP. Additionally the main methods for the measurement of biomass in SSF were found, and are also indicated in the review, as DIP measurement processes have already been carried out using the same technology.

CONCLUSION
In addition, the DIP has shown satisfactory results and could be an interesting alternative for biomass measurement in SSF, due to its ease and versatility.


The conference includes discussions of several areas in modern optics where the space-time or space-frequency descriptions of optical fields are finding growing theoretical and practical applications. Topics covered include space-time optics, phase conjugation, phase-space methods, holography, coding and encoding of optical signals, and optical reconstruction. (GHT)


The coexistence curve for the liquid mixture 3‐methylpentane–nitroethane has been obtained using a visual and a float technique. A detailed analysis of the data shows that the composition differences of the coexisting liquid phases are proportional to (tc — rpar;β, where β = 0.340 with a standard deviation of 0.010. As a result of this analysis and an analysis of the earlier work of Rice and Zimm it is shown that the value of β for binary liquids is not significantly different from the value for gas–liquid systems.


17 Bacillus strains were isolated from Baiyunbian Daqu, fermented grains of Xiaoqu, and liquor starter in the experiment. Pure-species fermentation test suggested that a Bacillus strain NX3-5Y could produce a small amount of n-propanol(1.65 mg/L) in liquid threonine culture mediums. Simulated Xiaoqu fermentation test and single factor ANOVA showed that the addition of Bacillus strain NX3-5Y could increase n-propanol content by 3.72 % and such increase was not significant. Before stacking fermentation, three different kinds of antibiotics were added respectively, and the growth of Bacillus was inhibited at different levels, n-propanol content was decreased correspondingly, but such decrease was not significant either. Accordingly, Bacillus could increase the content of n-propanol in the process of liquor fermentation, but it is not the main factor to produce n-propanol.


The postural effect of lateral decubitus position on the distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was assessed in 9 normal subjects and 31 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis by radioisotope perfusion scanning of the lungs. The perfusion of the dependent lung was larger than that of the supine lung with out exception. In both normal and tuberculous subjects, the average overall ratio of the pulmonary arterial blood flow in the dependent lung was 1.1 to 1.2 times that of the supine lung in any of the right and left lateral decubitus positions, and this was assumed to be due to gravitational effect. It was clarified that the increase in oxygen uptake in the dependent lung so far reported by many investigators was due to increased distribution of the pulmonary arterial blood flow which was related to gravitational effect.

The study was conducted during the period from October 2016March 2017 in a tertiary hospital: Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital (ShSMCH), Dhaka. Results: The study revealed that majority (53.1%) of women were 25-30 years and the mean (±SD) age was 26.40±4.273 years. Around 26.2% had secondary education and most of them i.e. 60.8% were housewife. Study revealed that average monthly family income was Tk. 20815.38 ± 9097.904. Majority (90%) of women choose PPIUD because it is convenient. Most of the respondents were inserted immediately after delivery within 10 minutes. Intracaesarean and manual insertion of PPIUCD was practiced in majority i.e. 79(60.8%) of the respondents. The study revealed that three fourth of the respondents had no side effect while common side effects of PPIUCD included vaginal discharge (12.3%), thread coming out (14.6%), missing thread (13.8%), lower abdominal pain (16.2%), expulsion (6.2%) and coital discomfort (10.8%). Only 18.5% respondents had abnormal uterine bleeding and 6.2% had PID. The results show expulsion rate was more in vaginal route (11.8%) than intra-caesarean route (2.5%) and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). All complications like abnormal uterine bleeding (15.7%) and PID (20.3%) were seen more in vaginal insertions as compared to insertion during caesarean section and was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: To reduce the unwanted pregnancy in postpartum period and maternal and child mortality and morbidity, PPIUCD insertion along its continuation by overcoming side effects and complications is an earnest need in a densely populated country like Bangladesh.

Abstract: The uptake of glutamate and other acidic amino acids into barnacle single muscle fibres has been characterized. The uptake of glutamate consists of two components, one Na‐independent and one Na‐dependent. The Na‐dependent uptake is saturable (half‐maximal at 250 μM external glutamate) and is inhibited by a variety of analogues of which L‐cysteate and D‐ and L‐aspartate are the most potent. These amino acids are also transported into the muscle in a Na‐dependent manner. The excitatory agonists kainate, quisqualate, and N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate do not inhibit or affect uptake in any way. Progressive replacement of external Na by choline reduces uptake with very little effect on the apparent affinity for glutamate, suggesting that Na and glutamate bind to the transporter independently. The kinetics of activation are consistent with a requirement for at least two Na ions. Na activation of glutamate uptake can be inhibited by guanidinium with kinetics that are consistent with competitive inhibition at the Na binding site. Studies on the efflux of L‐glutamate and other analogues have shown that efflux rates are only slightly increased by the removal of Na and do not seem to be affected in any clear manner by external levels of acidic amino acids.


A topology-based and duality-derived three-phase, three-winding, core-type transformer model is presented. The model treats the leakage inductances and the coupling effects of the core in a straightforward and integrated way. The long-established positive- and zero-sequence star equivalent circuits of a three-phase three-winding transformer are derived from the original equivalent magnetic circuit of the transformer by applying duality. Formulations for determining the values of the leakage inductances and the core loss resistances from transformer open- and short-circuit test data are presented. A supporting routine is written to generate the /spl lambda/-i curves for each segment of the core and the other input data for EMTP. Since the duality-derived model consists of only RLC elements, no device-specific code to EMTP time-step code is needed. Winding capacitances are lumped to the terminals. The model is suitable for simulation of power system low-frequency transients such as inrush currents and ferroresonance, short circuits, and abnormalities including transformer winding faults.

ABSTRACT Farming in coastal areas has unique challenges as climate change threatens coastal people's livelihoods and food security. Therefore, household food security remains a major concern, especially in Bangladesh's climate-sensitive coastal districts. This study compared the food security status and identified the factors influencing households' food security in the exposed and interior coasts of Bangladesh. A total of 750 households (exposed coast: 375 and interior coast: 375) were surveyed from six coastal areas. The Food Consumption Score (FCS), descriptive statistics, and a set of econometric models were used to achieve the objectives. Around 20% of households in the exposed coast were in the borderline category of FCS. The FCS of the interior coast households was significantly higher than the exposed coast households. The analysis results revealed that a 1 USD increase in the price of rice per kg would decrease the likelihood of being in the food secure category by more than 40%. Households who engaged in homestead gardening had a 4.30% and 9.15% higher likelihood of being in the food secure category in the interior and exposed coasts, respectively. Access to credit increased the likelihood of being in the food secure category by 7.15% in the exposed coast area. Economic status-related factors, such as higher farm and non-farm incomes, also increased the likelihood of being food secure in both coastal areas. To improve the household-level food security in coastal areas, location-specific sustainable farming practices, non-farm employment opportunities, rice price stabilization, agricultural training, and capital availability are warranted.

VEP, visual evoked potential is an electrophysiologic test that can be used for evaluating the higher visual pathways. The aim of this study was to investigate if it is possible to adapt this method to horses. This method could have a clinical use in addition to the existing diagnostic methods that are available to evaluate vision in horses.

Firstly, this study contains a summary of relevant studies done on animals and, secondly, an experimental part where the possibility of recording VEP in nonsedated and sedated horses is investigated and where to position the recording electrode to obtain the best results.

Our results show that it is possible to record VEP in horses in a clinical setting. VEP was best recorded in the sedated horse to avoid movement artifacts and other disturbances. The best signal was obtained when the active electrode was positioned on top of the nuchal crest. When the active electrodes were positioned lateral to the midline, isolation of signals from the right and left hemispheres was possible. The electrodes were easy to apply, but the impedance had to be checked to evaluate the connection between the electrodes and the skin. Akinesia of the eyelids had to be induced to reduce blink artifacts.

Because this study just contains results from VEP-recordings from two horses, further studies are needed that will provide normative data and assessment of its clinical use.


It has been demonstrated that tobramycin (nebramycin [factor 6]) can be toxic to the guinea pig cochlea. The damage was evident in both the sensitivity and intensity functions of the alternating current cochlear potential. Histological verification of the electrophysiological evaluation was obtained. The damage to the cochlea was seen in the hair cells of Corti's organ. This ototoxic effect was not uniform in all animals. Some guinea pigs were severely affected while in others no abnormality was detected.


Sodium cromoglycate (Intal) is now available as a metered-dose pressurised aerosol, an alternative to powder inhalation from Spincaps which Fisons have marketed for the treatment of asthma for 14 years. An important feature of the Spincaps/Spinhaler system has been its ease of operation and efficiency1 and this led to the introduction of powder inhalers for delivering β-stimulants and corticosteroids for those patients who found the pressurised aerosol techniques difficult to manage.2 However, the pressurised aerosol system has the advantage of being less obtrusive and quieter and so the introduction of sodium cromoglycate aerosol is an obvious step.


Capture-mark-recapture (CMR) studies provide essential information on ecological characteristics of rare and endangered species for planning conservation strategies. We develop a system, called Sloop, which recognizes individuals of a species in photographs, using image processing tools organized to benefit from interactive processing, community computing and collaborative science. Sloop is used to study marbled salamanders (Ambystoma Opacum) in a nearly 10 year capture history. The indexing process has been completed up to 2004. Ongoing effort to expand indexing to 2008 and extend Sloop to other species is underway. Sloop saves indexing time by two orders of magnitude over manual searching and new scientific results continue to emerge from the visual capture histories.


In recent trends, increasing energy demands and environmental pollution are motivating researchers for technological investments related to renewable energy sources. The possibility of Partially Shaded Condition (PSC) is consistently high for a large scale Photo-Voltaic (PV) system. Under PSC, the Power-Voltage (P-V) curve exposes multiple peaks that decrease the efficiency of traditional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods. Also, Perturb and Observe (P&O) gets trapped in one of the Local MPP, so it fails to recognize Global MPP from the PV. Subsequently, when partial shading occurs, its incident shadow diminishes the irradiation and reduces the generated power from the PV. Since, the conventional MPPT could not find the global maximum power of the P-V characteristic curve rapidly, a novel tracking process needs to be developed. In this paper, Kinetic Gas Molecular Optimization (KGMO)-based P&O algorithm for the PV system operating under PSC is proposed. The feasibility of this proposed method is verified for specified PV array model with Partially shaded irradiation conditions by simulation. The simulation results are obtained in Matlab/Simulink environment to validate the performance of the method. The proposed KGMO is compared with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) in terms of power and maximum number of iterations. For the specified Partilly shaded irradiation conditions, ACO gives less power and takes more number of iterations when compared to the proposed KGMO technique. The results show that the KGMO algorithm can track the global MPP effectively, and is robust to various shading patterns. This method makes the implementation as cheap, simple and strong in the aspect of varying environmental circumstances and array characteristics, also it has least negative influence on the integrated power system.


The corrosion of the internal steel bars of reinforced concrete structures is still a maintenance problem. This study aims to detect corrosion cracks in covered concrete by DIC. We proposed a new test specimen and method of electrolytic corrosion testing suitable for tracking corrosion cracks by DIC (Digital Image Correlation Analysis), and succeeded in understanding the crack initiation behavior of single and double bar specimens.


Numerous hydrothermal spires and rnounds composed of carbonates, sulfates, silicates, metal @e, Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb) sulfides and iron oxides occur at 2ffi0 m water depth in the sediment-filled Southern Trough of Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California. Predominant minerals include calcite, barite, amorphous silica, stevensite, pyrrhotite and marcasite. Major components (>190) from bulk chemi cal analyses are Fe, Si, Ca, Ba, CO2, S and SO3 (and, for s96e samples, Pb, Zn, Al, Na and Mg). The Guaymas hydrothermal deposits therefore are fundamentally different from sulfide-rich deposits at sediment-free spreading axes. Microthermometric measurements of aqueous, two-phase inclusions in calcite from chimneys indicate trapping temperatures from about 150 to 3l5oC, and salinities of 3.7 to 8.1 (mean 5.4) equiv. fl.qo NaCl. Trapping tem-p€ratlres are in good agreement wittr temperatures of venting fluids measured lr sita by thermocouple probe. Fluid-inclusion salinities cannot be reconciled with salinities measured from presently venting hydrothermal fluid and suggest that there are temporal variations in the chemistry of the vent fluid. Differences in salinity and homogenization temperatures for primary and secondary inclusions of individual chimneys require that there has been mixing of hot hydrothermal fluid and cold ambient seawater within chim-neys and spires. Mineral assemblages and compositions of individual minerals can best be explained by mixing of end-member hydrothermal fluid with seawater. Most minerals are precipitated at the vent site largely in response to decreasing temperature induced by mixing with seawater


In this paper, we provide an analytical study regarding the dynamics of a tethered satellite system, when the central gravitational field is generated by a variable mass object. We show that, in general, the equations of motion for the tethered satellite in the general case as well as in satellite approximation become different from the classical ones, provided that variable mass is considered. We also prove that these expressions could be reduced to the classical ones under the first Meshcherskii's law for variable mass. Moreover, we show that Meshcherskii's transformation is not valid for the dynamics of a dumbbell satellite system.


about phonological terminology. For example, some distinctive features deemed to be less general or time honored are omitted; there is no constricted glottis or advanced tongue root here. The inclusion of a number of selected terms on the areas of speech pathology and writing (including writing disorders) is welcome. Again, the selection process has led to decisions that may appear arbitrary to some; we find aphasia, alalia, alexia, for example, but not dislexia. Also welcome are the judicious and not overly frequent discussions of terminology that follow entries; see for example the useful remarks on the terms palate /palais and palatoalveolar / palato-alveolaire on pp. 86/203. A curious feature of a French-English bilingual technical dictionary is the remarkable lack of faux amis, thanks to the Greco-Latin underpinning of so much technical vocabulary. For the most part, the reader of either language can make accurate guesses about what a given term will be in the other language; this guessability is even more enhanced by reading in context. Thus we find anacusisIanacousie, cascade / cascade, hare lip/bee de lievre. But we also find a smaller number of forms that would doubtless be less transparent no matter which direction the translation, e.g., muscles of facial expression/muscles (m pi) peauciers, pinna/pavilion (ra) de I'oreille, tinnitus /acoupheme. This dictionary's value as a pedagogical tool for students crossing over from either language is obvious. Then there are those of us who are reasonably fluent but still non-native speakers of only one of the two languages. In attempts to write up research, there are often times when many of these terms lie frustratingly beyond precise productive capacities. What is the exact spelling? Is the cognate precise? What is the gender? For this reason too, aside from the sheer usefulness and pleasure of vocabulary expansion through browsing, this is a valuable book to have on hand.


The linear model of communication between traditional media and new media cannot be used to explain the information flow among different media.The article uses the new circular interactive communication model and a case study of "birds' nests demolishing in Shanghai Jiao Tong University" to analyze the interactive logic between traditional print media and micro-blog when they spread,verify and correct messages.The article demonstrates how traditional media's position of being the first agenda-setter has been replaced by micro-blog and how the cooperation between the old and the new media can improve media's automatic depuration on false information. Researches show circular interactive communication can be used to explain the relationship between traditional media and new media.The article also warns that facing the fierce competition among multiple media,traditional media should not only be proactive to obtain information but also stick to professional reporting.With established credibility,printing media should correct errors as soon as possible during reporting to seize back its agenda-setting position.

Ironically, the patients who can benefit the most from CLND in terms of regional nodal basin disease control are the patients who are least likely to experience a survival benefit.


The NSF supported Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Initiative (CCLI) project described herein addresses concerns regarding undergraduate education at research universities as high-lighted in the 1998 Boyer Commission by incorporating advances in information technology into the curriculum. This has been accomplished by developing an "emphasis" to the department's undergraduate mechanical engineering degree in the area of computational engineering. To complete the emphasis, students need to complete four upper division elective courses related to computational engineering. Three courses concentrate on applied modeling and simulation; the fourth (which was developed under the CCLI award) concentrates on implementing algorithms on parallel computing architectures. To support the emphasis, the authors have designed and assembled a PC Beowulf teaching cluster. The cluster consists of a server node where students can log in and develop their programs, as well 10 dual Opteron compute nodes for running and testing parallel codes. AMD Opteron CPUs were selected for the cluster since they may be used to teach both shared and distributed memory programming techniques, and for their strong price/performance ratio. Using gigabit networking technology, the cluster was built at a cost of approximately $15k. In addition to traditional coursework, a cluster computing workshop was developed and offered for the first time during the summer of 2004. Key issues covered were designing a Beowulf cluster, implementing and programming a cluster, and tuning/profiling of programs.
