Role of Substrate Temperature on the Structural and Morphological Properties of ZnO Thin Films Deposited by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been prepared by ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis (USP) technique using zinc acetate dihydrate dissolved in methanol, ethanol and deionized water. A thermodynamic analysis for the growth of ZnO thin films from zinc acetate and water vapor has been made. The evolution of the preferred crystalline orientations in the ZnO films was investigated systematically. The optical measurements reveal that films have a maximum transmittance of about 90% and a direct band gap of 3.26 eV.
The study of changes in Ardabil plain groundwater level using GIS

Uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater in many parts of the world has led to a sharp drop in groundwater levels. In this study, changes in Ardabil plain groundwater level were studied using geographic information system (GIS). For this purpose, the interpolation table method was used, the intrinsic data as table data of piezo metric wells was used. In order to implement the model, the Majol Geoestatical in geographic information system software was used. The data entered as regions into the geographic information system, and then done for the entire zoning area, due to zoning 8 models, the IDW, GPI, RBF, LPI, KO, KS, KU and EBK in geostatical extension were evaluated. The ordinary kriging method (KO) with the lowest RMSE, was determined as the most accurate one, and finally, as the ultimate method for zoning and map providing for the changes in groundwater levels drop of the region. The results of classification showed that the biggest drop of about 40 meters was in the areas close to the southeastern parts of the study region and in other areas, little changes were observed, this rate of the change and decline in some parts of the desert like southern regions is very tangible and specified .
SELF-CONSISTENT MODEL OF THE INTERSTELLAR PICKUP PROTONS, ALFVÉNIC TURBULENCE, AND CORE SOLAR WIND IN THE OUTER HELIOSPHERE

A self-consistent model of the interstellar pickup protons, the slab component of the Alfvénic turbulence, and core solar wind (SW) protons is presented for r ⩾ 1 along with the initial results of and comparison with the Voyager 2 (V2) observations. Two kinetic equations are used for the pickup proton distribution and Alfvénic power spectral density, and a third equation governs SW temperature including source due to the Alfvén wave energy dissipation. A fraction of the pickup proton free energy, fD, which is actually released in the waveform during isotropization, is taken from the quasi-linear consideration without preexisting turbulence, whereas we use observations to specify the strength of the large-scale driving, Csh, for turbulence. The main conclusions of our study can be summarized as follows. (1) For Csh ≈ 1–1.5 and fD ≈ 0.7–1, the model slab component agrees well with the V2 observations of the total transverse magnetic fluctuations starting from ∼8 AU. This indicates that the slab component at low-latitudes makes up a majority of the transverse magnetic fluctuations beyond 8–10 AU. (2) The model core SW temperature agrees well with the V2 observations for r ≳ 20 AU if fD ≈ 0.7–1. (3) A combined effect of the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin attenuation, large-scale driving, and pickup proton generated waves results in the energy sink in the region r ≲ 10 AU, while wave energy is pumped in the turbulence beyond 10 AU. Without energy pumping, the nonlinear energy cascade is suppressed for r ≲ 10 AU, supplying only a small energy fraction into the k-region of dissipation by the core SW protons. A similar situation takes place for the two-dimensional turbulence. (4) The energy source due to the resonant Alfvén wave damping by the core SW protons is small at heliocentric distances r ≲ 10 AU for both the slab and the two-dimensional turbulent components. As a result, adiabatic cooling mostly controls the model SW temperature in this region, and the model temperature disagrees with the V2 observations in the region r ≲ 20 AU.
Title : Cognitive behavioral therapy for depression changes medial prefrontal and ventral anterior cingulate cortex activity associated with self-referential processing

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an effective treatment for depression, targets self-referential processing of emotional stimuli. We examined the effects of CBT on brain functioning during self-referential processing in depressive patients using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Depressive patients (n=23) and healthy participants (n=15) underwent fMRI scans during a self-referential task using emotional trait words. The depressive patients had fMRI scans before and after completing a total of 12 weekly sessions of group CBT for depression, whereas the healthy participants underwent fMRI scans 12 weeks apart with no intervention. Before undergoing CBT, the depressive patients showed hyperactivity in the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) during self-referential processing of negative words. Following CBT, MPFC and ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC) activity during self-referential processing among depressive patients was increased for positive stimuli while it was decreased for negative stimuli. Improvements in depressive symptoms were negatively correlated with vACC activity during self-referential processing of negative stimuli. These results suggest that CBT-related improvements in depressive symptoms are associated with changes in MPFC and vACC activation during self-referential processing of emotional stimuli.
Structural Shifts in Translation of Children's Literature

As far as translation is concerned, the notion of "shift" is admittedly one of the most important areas to be investigated. This phenomenon has been analyzed, evaluated and extensively discussed from different points of view and has been approached from many different perspectives by many researchers. The multitude of issues on types of "shift" bears testimony to its significance within the framework of the reflection on translation. In the current study, the researcher's intention was to focus upon the types of "structural shifts" ­­­­in literary translation from English into Persian and their significant role in Compensation and Explicitation of meaning. The main objective of this research was to see whether and how translators incorporate structural shifts into their schedule, what kinds of structural Shift are made and what kinds of structural shift are more frequently used in literary translation. The second objective of the research was to examine whether structural shifts help the literary translators to better transfer the meaning.

A comparative study of breeding traits in colonial birds

I examined the effect of an evolutionary transition to coloniality on several breeding traits in birds using 29 pairs of congeners that included one colonial and one solitary breeding species. Males in colonial and solitary species, as well as females, had similar body masses. The extent to which the sexes differed in body mass and plumage characteristics was also similar in colonial and solitary species. Although sexual selection is often assumed to be stronger in colonial species, coloniality appears to be a weak force in the sexual diversification of body mass and plumage characteristics in birds. Colonial species produced heavier eggs and invested more in their offspring per unit of female body mass than their solitary counterpart. The results support the hypothesis that coloniality is associated with greater foraging efficiency, which allows colonial birds to increase parental effort. Although offspring predation risk is often assumed to be smaller in colonial species, a fact that could lead to the production of larger clutches, colonial and solitary species produced clutches of similar size. The results thus provide little support for an effect of differential predation pressure on changes in clutch size in colonial species.
Seasonality and temporal structuration of Alticini community (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae) in the Araucaria Forest of Parana, Brazil

Seasonality was studied for Alticini trapped with malaise over a period of two years in the Vila Velha State Park, Parana, Brazil. Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae and Alticini showed seasonal distribution, with the highest abundance during spring and summer months. The abundance peaks of these groups were not synchronized. Of all environmental variables tested, photoperiod had the larger effect on the distributional patterns of Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae and Alticini. Also, Chrysomelidae and Alticini probably are related to the quality and availability of host-plants. When richness was high there was a greater similarity among seasons of different years. However, when richness was not pronounced, seasons showed more similarity within the same year than between years. The Alticini community was seasonally structured and a possible mechanism underlying this pattern is asymmetric competition. Nevertheless, it is necessary to account for indirect interactions (plant-enemy mediated) to better understand how Alticini community is structured.
Phenotypic and genotypic screening of rice genotypes at reproductive stage for salt tolerance

Salinity screening of 24 rice genotypes was performed at the reproductive stage for evaluating their salt tolerance level. On the basis of yield and yield components, genotypes were categorized as tolerant, susceptible and moderately tolerant. PBRC-30, Ashfal, Horkuch, STL-20 and Pokkali were found as tolerant while Binadhan-7, S-39 L-11, S-37 L- 27, S-37 L-36 and S-37 L-39 were found as susceptible. Selected three SSR markers viz. RM336, RM21 and RM510 were used to determine salinity tolerance. The genetic diversity was ranges from 0.8194 to 0.8854 with an average of 0.8530. The highest PCI value was 0.8742 and the lowest was 0.8004 from RM510 and RM21, respectively. The UPGMA clustering system generated six genetic clusters. The highest genetically dissimilarity of (Cluster 1) vs (Cluster 2 sub-cluster A) and the crossing would be helpful for salt tolerant rice development. Thus, selected SSR primers and genotypes would be useful in marker assisted breeding, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and gene pyramiding in breeding programmed for improvement of rice for salt tolerance.

Decomposition of tissue baits and termite density along a gradient of human land-use intensification in Western Kenya

Termites are important decomposers and ‘ecosystem engineers’ in tropical ecosystems. Furthermore, termite assemblages are sensitive to human land-use intensification and often termite density and the importance of soilfeeding termites decrease with land-use intensification. These changes in termite assemblages may also lead to a decrease in termite-mediated ecosystem processes (e.g. soil formation, cellulose decomposition). We compared density and functional composition of termites with cellulose removal from undisturbed primary forests to farmlands (Kakamega Forest, Western Kenya). In contrast to the expectation, we found no response of termite abundance along the gradient of land-use intensification. However, as expected, the relative abundance of soil-feeders decreased from primary forests to farmlands. In contrast, frequency of attack on tissue paper baits and removal of tissue showed a clear hump-shaped relationship to land-use intensification with high values in secondary forests. These nonconcordant patterns of density and functional composition of termite assemblages with cellulose removal by termites suggest that it may be misleading to infer changes in a process by the characteristics of the assemblage of organisms that mediate that process.
PAPER SERIES Volatility and Irish Exports

We analyse the impact of volatility per se on exports for a a small open economy concentrating on Irish trade with the UK and the US. An important element is that we take account of the time lag between the trade decision and the actual trade or payments taking place by using a flexible lag approach. Rather than adopt a single measure of risk we also adopt a spectrum of risk measures and detail varied size characteristics and statistical properties. We find that the ambiguous results found to date may well be due to not taking account of the timing effect which varies substantially depending on which volatility measure is used. However, the foreign exchange volatility effect is consistently positive, indicating the dominance of exporters expectations of possible profitable opportunities from future cash flows. The potential negative aspects of trade, the entry and exit costs, are accounted for by a negative influence of income volatility on trade.
Unification of the Gravitational, Strong, Weak and Inertial Forces

Particles moving within the flux of micro-quanta filling the space have been shown to obey the Relativistic Mechanics and to undergo a gravitational "pushing" force with G depending locally on the quantum flux constants. Due to the very little quantum energy Eo , the ratio Eo/mc2 equals about 10-50 so the collisions with particles follow the optical reflection accurately. The simultaneous micro-quanta hitting upon a nucleon are about 1050, a high number due to the small wavelength which results close to Planck's length. Along the joining line between two particles there is a lack of incident quanta (missing beam) which determines unbalanced collisions generating drawing forces between particles by mutual screening. These forces increment the particle energy, as shown for instance by the heating during the gravitational contraction of the galactic gas globules leading to protostars. This mechanism allows to predict that observations of the thermal emission from major solar planets may exceed the power received from solar light. When two particles are very close, the mutual screening highly increments the missing beam, giving rise to a short-range strong force which is of the right strength to hold protons and neutrons within the atomic nuclei. The belief that nuclear forces are "self-produced" by nucleons is disproved. Proof is given for the structure of the simple Deuterium nucleus. The same process originates also a short-range "weak" force on the electron closely orbiting a proton, giving rise to the neutron structure which undergoes β- decay. The mutual strong forces on a nucleon pair are equal, but the weak force on the bound electron differs largely from the force on the proton (breakdown of Newton's action and reaction symmetry).
Recurrence relations for symplectic realization of (quasi)-Poisson structures

It is known that any Poisson manifold can be embedded into a bigger space which admits a description in terms of a global symplectic structure. Such a procedure is known as a symplectic realization and has a number of important applications like the quantization of the original Poisson manifold. In the present paper we extend the above idea to the case of quasi-Poisson structures which should not necessarily satisfy the Jacobi identity. For any given quasi-Poisson structure we provide a closed recursive formula for local embedding functions and Darboux coordinates. Our construction is illustrated for the examples of the constant R-flux algebra, quasi-Poisson structure isomorphic to the commutator algebra of imaginary octonions and the non-geometric M-theory R-flux background. In all cases we derive explicit formulas for the symplectic realization and the corresponding expression for Darboux coordinates.
Estimating depth of investigation in DC resistivity and IP surveys

In this paper, the term “depth of investigation” refers generically to the depth below which surface data are insensitive to the value of the physical property of the earth. Estimates of this depth for dc resistivity and induced polarization (IP) surveys are essential when interpreting models obtained from any inversion because structure beneath that depth should not be interpreted geologically. We advocate carrying out a limited exploration of model space to generate a few models that have minimum structure and that differ substantially from the final model used for interpretation. Visual assessment of these models often provides answers about existence of deeper structures. Differences between the models can be quantified into a depth of investigation (DOI) index that can be displayed with the model used for interpretation. An explicit algorithm for evaluating the DOI is presented. The DOI curves are somewhat dependent upon the parameters used to generate the different models, but the results are robust.
Social Security Reform with Imperfect Substitution between Less and More Experienced Workers

In this paper we study the quantitative properties of a policy reform aimed at funding the pension system in the standard model economy with perfect substitution across workers with different experience levels and a model economy where this substitutability is imperfect. With compulsory retirement, the welfare gains for young cohorts are underestimated in the standard model economy with perfect substitution as compared to the imperfect substitution case. However these additional welfare gains displayed in the imperfect substitution case come at the cost of higher welfare losses for the generations living at the time of the policy reform, due to the fall in the experience premium that follows after the elimination of social security. When the policy reform consists of the elimination of both social security and compulsory retirement, we find that in the standard model the status quo problem disappears. However, such policy change is not able to solve the status quo problem when less and more experienced workers are imperfect substitutes because the fall in the experience premium is more pronounced, providing a rationale for the lack of political support in favour of pension reform in the Spanish economy.

Percolation Transitions and Fluid State Boundaries

: Percolation transitions deﬁne gas- and liquid-state limits of existence. For simple model ﬂuids percolation phenomena vary fundamentally with dimensionality (d). In 3d the accessible volume ( V A ) and excluded volume ( V E = V − V A ) percolation transitions occur at different densities, whereas in 2d they coincide. The region of overlap for 3d ﬂuids can be identiﬁed as the origin of a supercritical mesophase. This difference between 2d and 3d systems vitiates the hypothetical concept of “universality” in the description of critical phenomena. Thermodynamic states at which V A and V E , for a spher-ical molecule diameter σ , percolates the whole volume of an ideal gas, together with MD computations of percolation loci for the penetrable cohesive sphere (PCS) model of gas-liquid equilibria, show a connection between the intersection of percolation loci, and the 1 st -order phase-separation transition. The results accord with previous ﬁndings for square-well and Lennard-Jones model critical and supercritical ﬂuid equilibria. Percolation loci for real liquids, e.g. CO 2 and argon, can be determined from literature thermodynamic equation-of-state data, and exhibit similar supercritical gas- and liquid-state bounds. For these real ﬂuids the mesophase bounds extend to low density and pressures and appear to converge onto the Boyle temperature ( T B ) in the low-density limit.
United Kingdom and United States Tourism Demand for Malaysia:A Cointegration Analysis

Tourism industry has been an important contributor to the Malaysia economy. In this paper we inspect variations in the long run demand for tourism from United Kingdom and United States to Malaysia. The demand for tourism has been explained by macroeconomic variables, including income in origin countries, tourism prices in Malaysia, and travel cost between the two countries. Annual data from 1972 to 2006 are used for the analysis. Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Johansen’s maximum likelihood tests are used to test for unit root and cointegration. An error correction model (ECM) are estimated to a explain United Kingdom and United States demand for tourism to Malaysia. The results show that the long run equilibrium exists among variables, and the United Kingdom and United States tourists seem to be highly sensitive to the price variable.
Diverging Paths: Transition in the Presence of the Informal Sector

This work suggests a development of the seminal model of transition from plan to market economy by Aghion and Blanchard (1994). We introduce an informal sector to show that its presence can generate qualitatively di? erent steady states, to which the economy converges in the end of transition. Two types of transitional dynamics are considered, and it is argued that they can help explain di? erences in evolution of formal and informal output exhibited, on the one hand, by East European countries and, on the other hand, by the former Soviet Union republics such as Russia or Ukraine.
The Effect of Metal-Remote Amino-Groups on Metal Center in Ruthenium (II) Complexes with Terpyridine Ligands

The determination of reducing sugars, especially glucose, is of considerable interest. An assay attributed to Miller using 3,5-dinitrosalicyclic acid (DNS) is widely used but suffers from some limitations. It is, nonetheless, convenient and recommended by the IUPAC Commission on Biotechnology for measuring cellulase activity. We found that 5-10% concentrations of methanol, ethanol, 1- and 2-propanol interfered with the DNS assay and gave a positive error (an apparent increase in glucose) when aqueous standards were used for calibrating the assay. For ethanol concentrations beyond about 15%, the assay gave a negative error. In the case of ethanol, this was due to an effect of ethanol on the color-forming reaction as well as a slight effect on the spectral absorbance of the product.
