Two Novel Induction Heating Technologies: Transverse Flux Induction Heating and Travelling Wave Induction Heating

The increasing demand for industrial furnace heaters has attracted a lot of attentions from researchers and practitioners. Traditional longitudinal method is inadequate to meet the ever increasing demand on quality performance in regard to temperature uniformity on the work strips, especially on thin and long strips. Among the new systems being developed recently, transverse flux induction heating (TFIH) and the traveling wave induction heating (TWIH) processes are potentially very promising and attractive. Longitudinal induction heating was the most often used method in the past and it is still used today. However, there are many disadvantages of the traditional induction heating method. It is well known that we can increase the operational frequency to decrease the skin depth in order to increase the heating efficiency. For the metal strip with certain depth, 10 kHz or above frequency has to be used if using longitudinal induction heating method. The traditional induction heating method can only applied to metal strips with large thickness. TFIH is prior to the conventional axial flux induction heating in many aspects, e.g. lower frequency for thin strips. But the temperature distribution is more complex such as may higher at one place but lower at the other across the entire strip width. The fundamental principles of the TWIH are known for many years [1-3]. TWIH, as one of the multiphase induction heating systems, has particular features which make them attractive for application to some heating and melting processes in industry. Among the advantages we can mention the possibility to heat quite uniformly thin strips or regions of a body without moving the inductor above its surface, to reduce the vibrations of inductor and load due to the electro-dynamic forces and also the noise provoked by them, to obtain nearly balanced distributions of power and temperature [4]. In this chapter these two different novel types – TFIH and TWIH technologies are considered. Some standard and specially developed FEM codes based on numerical methods were successfully used for the study of TFIH and TWIH heaters. The main advantages and the particular characteristics of TFIH and TWIH systems such as the effect
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF SKIN INFECTIONS ON ANXIETY: A STUDY ON TURKISH WRESTLERS

This study aims to examine the prevalence of skin infections in Turkish wrestlers and to investigate whether skin infections cause anxiety in the wrestlers with infections. 159 volunteer male athletes engaged in freestyle wrestling from sports clubs of Turkey participated in the research. Before the research, questions in “Dermatological Examination Findings (DEF)” questionnaire were asked to participants by a dermatologist during the examination. In addition, examination findings of each wrestler were recorded in this questionnaire form and the detected anxiety levels were evaluated via Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Statistical analysis program; SPSS 22.0 was used for the evaluation. Of 159 voluntary free style male wrestlers in our research, 92 (57.86 %) were detected to have skin infections while 67 (42.14 %) did not have any skin infection. The most common skin infections found in wrestlers are tinea pedis 24 (15.09), tinea corporis 16 (10.16 ), erythrasma 13 (8.17), folliculitis 11 (6.91), verrucous 11 (6.94), onychomycosis 6 (3.57), paronychia 5 (3.14), herpes 3 (1.88), tinea versicolor 2 (1.36) and impetigo 1 (0.64 %), respectively. Comparing anxiety levels of wrestlers who have skin infections and those who do not have, no significant difference was found between two groups (p>0.05). In this study which is the first study conducted on this issue in sports literature, it was concluded that skin infections do not lead to anxiety
Regime Shift in Antitrust Vivek Ghosal

This paper empirically models the longer-run deep-seated shift in intellectual thinking that followed the Chicago School’s criticism of the older antitrust doctrine, the shorter-run driving forces related to switches of the political party in power, merger waves, changes in economic activity and the level of funding and quantifies their impact on enforcement by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice over the period 1958-2002. The key findings are: (1) a distinct regime-shift in antitrust enforcement during the 1970s and, post-regime-shift, there has been a marked compositional change with a quantitatively large increase (decrease) in criminal (civil) antitrust court cases initiated; (2) post-regime-shift, there appears to be a change in the role played by politics with Republicans initiating more (less) criminal (civil) court cases than Democrats and the estimated quantitative effects are large; (3) disaggregating the total number of court cases into the main categories under which they are initiated (price-fixing, mergers, monopolization and restraints-of-trade) shows that individual types of cases have widely differing responses to changes in the driving forces; and (4) in a horse-race between the regime-shift and political effect on one side and the remaining variables on the other, the former forces win hands-down in explaining broad shifts in enforcement. Modeling the longer-run shift and disaggregating the court cases emerge as crucial to gaining insights into the intertemporal shifts in enforcement. The paper elaborates on the causes for the shift in enforcement and on the effectiveness of antitrust.
Prepared for submission to JHEP Stirring a black hole

We present novel asymptotically global AdS4 solutions, constructed by turning on a dipolar differential rotation at the conformal boundary. At fixed energy and boundary profile, we find two different geometries: a horizonless spacetime, and a deformed, hourglass shaped black hole with zero net angular momentum. Both solutions exist up to some maximum amplitudes of the boundary profile, and develop an ergoregion attached to the boundary before the maximum amplitude is reached. We show that both spacetimes develop hair as soon as the ergoregion develops. Furthermore, we discuss the full phase diagram, including the possibility of phases with disconnected horizons, by considering the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations for a spinning test particle. Finally, we provide a first principle derivation of the superradiant bound purely from CFT data, and outline possible scenarios for the late time evolution of the system. ar X iv :1 71 2. 07 64 8v 3 [ he pth ] 3 F eb 2 01 8

Double-Blind , Placebo-Controlled Study Behaviors and Clinician-and Informant-Rated ADHD Symptoms in Adults : Data From a Randomized , Treatment With Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Improves Self-and Informant-Rated Executive Function

Objective: To examine the level of agreement between selfand observer-reported ratings of ADHD symptoms and executive function (EF) behaviors in adults with moderate to severe ADHD and EF deficits. Method: During a 10week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the effect of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) on EF was assessed by self-report and informant report (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function–Adult Version), and ADHD symptoms were assessed by clinicianand informant-rated scales (ADHD Rating Scale IV with adult prompts and Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales–Observer Report: Short Version, respectively). Post hoc analysis used Pearson correlations to assess relationships between selfand informant-rated EF and clinicianand informant-rated ADHD symptoms. Results: Correlations between self-ratings versus informant ratings and clinician versus informant ratings were greater at Week 10/ early termination (EF: placebo [0.5231–0.6085], LDX [0.3543–0.5167]; ADHD symptoms: placebo [0.4169], LDX [0.4004]) versus baseline (EF: placebo [0.3208–0.5023], LDX [0.2852–0.3439]; ADHD symptoms: placebo [0.1511], LDX [–0.0408]). Conclusion: LDX improved EF and ADHD symptoms, based on participant, informant, and clinician ratings. Increased rater agreement over time may reflect improved symptom awareness. (J. of Att. Dis.

Drag Reduction of a Turbulent Boundary Layer Using Plasma Actuators

This work aims to manipulate using plasma actuators a fully developed turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate, with a view to reduce the friction drag. Four different plasma actuator configurations were designed to generate streamwise vortices. While the time-resolved PIV was used to capture the development and interaction of streamwise vortices in a plane normal to the mean flow, a surface balance technique was deployed to measure the skin-friction drag. A new calibration method is proposed for this technique to resolve accurately the friction drag change. It has been found that the plasma-actuatorgenerated vortices and their interactions with the boundary layer may lead to a drag reduction up to 50%. The control efficiency is also estimated.
Review of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors in the treatment of established febrile neutropenia.

PURPOSE To assess the value of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) in promoting recovery from established episodes of febrile neutropenia (FN) after chemotherapy in cancer patients. METHOD The literature was searched using the MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS, and IPA databases. Reference lists from the retrieved papers and hand searches of relevant journals complemented the search. Eleven randomized controlled trials were selected for review. RESULT G-CSF use in established FN appears to be limited to a small reduction in neutropenia duration, length of hospitalization, and duration of antibiotic use. Overall, there are no significant reductions in time to neutrophil recovery and fever resolution. The cost analyses performed do not show significant cost savings. CONCLUSION Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) are biological agents typically used for prevention of febrile neutropenia (FN) or as adjunctive treatment with antibiotics of established FN. Most clinical guidelines discourage the general use of G-CSF for adjunctive treatment of ongoing neutropenic fever; however, its use in special situations, such as high-risk for infectious complications or adverse prognostic factors, is advised. G-CSF should be reserved for high-risk cancer patients, in accordance with the results of this review. This recommendation needs to be taken with caution in view of the disparities and methodological flaws found among trials. It is necessary to design further trials appropriately, well-powered and focused on high-risk patients. Moreover, it is necessary to perform an appropriate economic evaluation for this setting.
Detecting land use and land cover changes in Northern German agricultural landscapes to assess ecosystem service dynamics.

Land use and land cover (LULC) and their changes in share and number of classes can be documented by remote sensing techniques. Information on LULC is needed for the assessment of ecosystem services and is used as input data for mapping and modelling. This information is important for decision-making and management of ecosystems and landscapes. In this study, LULC were analysed in two agricultural areas in Northern Germany by means of a pixel-based maximum likelihood classification approach of 11 Landsat TM 5 scenes between 1987 and 2011 followed by a post-classification refinement using the tool IRSeL. In this time period, grassland declined by about 50 % in both case study areas. This loss in grassland area can be associated with changes in provisioning ecosystem services as the supply of fodder and crops and the number of livestock declined from 1987 to 2007. Furthermore, an on-going increase in maize cultivation area, which is nowadays more and more used as biomass for biogas production, documents the addition of another provisioning service, i.e., biomass for energy. Combining remote sensing and research on ecosystem services supports the assessment and monitoring of ecosystem services on different temporal, spatial, and semantic scales.
Human Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clonal Evolution of Preleukemic Hematopoietic Stem Cells Precedes

These results offer fresh pool that contained some, but not all, of the mutations seen in the AML cells. Furthermore, the authors were able to the identified mutations to determine the genotype of individual HSCs. They detected multiple cell clones in the HSC discovered leukemia-associated mutations in the HSCs. Finally, the authors performed single-cell assays targeted to sequencing. Then, using cell surface markers to isolate rare residual HSCs by flow cytometry, the researchers patients with AML. First, they identified the coding mutations present in six AML patient samples by exome sequencing the exomes (the protein-coding regions of the genome) of AML cells and residual HSCs taken from long-lived self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The authors directly tested their clonal evolution model by . now propose a model in which AML develops by serial acquisition of mutations in et al arise. In a new study, Jan the frequency of mutations is low, making it tough to explain how such a lineage of cells with multiple mutations could the accumulation of multiple mutations in a single lineage of cells. In the bone marrow, most cells are short-lived and Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive clonal malignancy of bone marrow progenitor cells caused by Getting to the Root of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Cultural studies of education: filming fluid subjectivities in Indonesian universities

Abstract This article focuses on the Indonesian film Cin(T)a, which features the interfaith and multiethnic love between two college students. I apply intergroup contact theory, critical pedagogy and grounded cosmopolitanism to the reading of the movie in order to demonstrate two key points. First, higher education is a contact zone, where grounded (i.e. ethnic, religious, and national) and cosmopolitan (i.e. humanist and global) allegiances converge. Second, cultural studies are significant to the field of education, especially when they expand beyond the Anglo-American axis. They complicate ‘given’ notions of culture and demonstrate how cultural artefacts, like films, are pedagogical instruments. My methodology relies on film analysis, campus observations and interviews with the film-maker as well as with 65 college students, faculty and administrators.
Impact of drought and flooding stresses on Gabiroba plants.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of Gabiroba plants (Campomanesia spp) to drought and flooding stresses for 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 days. The contents of dry matter, water, nitrate reductase activity, total soluble sugars, sucrose, starch, insoluble and soluble protein, and soluble amino acid in leaves and roots were periodically determined. Drought and flooding induced a significant reduction in the contents of water and dry matter of leaves and roots. The contents of total soluble sugars, sucrose, and starch suggest a reduction in the photosynthetic rate, remobilization of starch reserves, and transport blocking in the phloem. Drought stress leads to decreased protein synthesis and accumulation of amino acids. The higher concentration of insoluble proteins in the leaves and roots of plants under flooding is a consequence of the synthesis of new polypeptides. For the leaves, the lowest and highest contents of amino acids were found under drought and flooding stresses, respectively; whereas for the roots, the lowest rates were found under drought stress. Gabiroba plants are tolerant to drought stress and remobilize soluble carbohydrates from the shoots to the roots.
Optimal Level of Government Debt - Matching Wealth Inequality and the Fiscal Sector

We calibrate an incomplete markets large scale OLG model to the US income and wealth distribution and examine the effects of alternative government debt levels and adjustment policies on macroeconomic aggregates and welfare. We find that the government should hold negative debt. Due to the high degree of wealth and income dispersion ex ante lifetime utility increases with increasing wages (falling interest rates) by around 6% of lifetime consumption at optimal debt levels. The optimal level depends on the adjustment policy can vary by up to 70% of GDP (between -180% and -110%). With lower government debt, high income/wealth agents are always worse off. Adjusting transfers benefits the lowest income/wealth group. The largest gains are, however, experienced by agents in the middle of the income/wealth distribution: they benefit from higher wages and transfers but do not lose too much capital income.
Toward Solving the High Enrollment, Low Engagement Dilemma: A Case Study in Introductory Business

The challenges of high enrollment, apparent low engagement, questionable evaluation, and a scarcity of faculty to teach an introductory business course were addressed by reformatting the course delivery to a hybrid style “inverted classroom,” which devotes classroom time to active learning and assigns reading and videotaped lectures for completion outside class. In 75 minute class meetings each week, faculty and part-time businessoriented instructors work with 24 students per section to clarify and reinforce concepts through discussion of related current events and a group problem-solving exercise. We sought to determine if the new format achieved our learning objectives and engaged students. Factor and content analyses of student surveys (N = 868) show that the students’ level of overall satisfaction with the course and their perceived learning of concepts correlates with their in-class engagement. Results indicate the reformatted delivery has successfully addressed the challenges presented by this high enrollment course.
Pruning methods on the yield performance and oenological potential of ' Nebbiolo ' grapevine

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different pruning methods on the yield performance and on the oenological potential of Vitis vinifera 'Nebbiolo', cultivated in high-altitude regions of Santa Catarina state, Brazil. The work was carried out in a commercial vineyard located in São Joaquim, SC, during the 2011/2012 and 2014/2015 crop seasons. The treatments consisted of four pruning systems: Guyot, Guyot Arch, and Cazenave (cane pruning systems), and cordon spur pruning. Production, vine balance, and grape composition were evaluated. In the cane pruning systems, a mean production of 2.0 kg per plant and Ravaz index below 2 were observed, with no change in the composition of the berries. In spur pruned vines, there was production only in 2015, with four bunches every ten plants. Yield and production of the 'Nebbiolo' grapes can be increased without losses of oenological potential, in the high-altitude regions of Santa Catarina state. The tested cane pruning methods are indicated for the growing of 'Nebbiolo' because all methods confer similar yield and vigor to this grapevine.
Arda Tasatargil Nephrotoxicity and Tubular Apoptosis Potential Role of Poly ( ADP-Ribose ) Polymerase ( PARP ) Activation in Methotrexate-Induced

Nephrotoxicity is one of the serious dose-limiting complications of methotrexate (MTX) when used in the treatment of various malignancies and nononcological diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity in MTX-induced nephrotoxicity. Rats were divided into 4 groups as control, MTX treated (MTX, 7 mg/kg per d, intraperitoneally [ip], once daily for 3 consecutive days), MTX plus 1,5-isoquinelinediol (ISO, a PARP inhibitor, 3 mg/kg per d, i.p.) treated, or ISO treated. Histopathology of kidneys was evaluated by light microscopy. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling assay was used to analyze apoptosis in kidney sections. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, and urinary N-acetyl-b-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were used as biochemical markers of MTX-induced renal injury. Our results showed that MTX administration significantly increased BUN, serum creatinine, and urinary NAG levels. The PARP-1 and PAR (a product of PARP activity) expression and apoptotic cell death were also markedly increased in renal tubules after MTX administration. The ISO treatment attenuated MTX-induced renal injury, as indicated by BUN and serum creatinine levels, urinary NAG excretion, and renal histology. The PARP inhibitor treatment reduced PARP-1 and PAR expression to levels similar to that of controls. These results revealed that ISO may have a protective effect against the nephrotoxic effects of MTX by inhibiting PARP activation. This is the first study that demonstrates the role of PARP activation in MTX-induced nephrotoxicity and tubular apoptosis.
Determinants of the spatial reach of venture capital firms in the United States

ABSTRACT Building on elements of human capital, agency and social network theories, this paper analyzes the determinants of spatial reach of the venture capital firms (VC) in the United States. Based on data obtained from Crunchbase website, I develop a sample of VC investments in the U.S. from 2003-2010. I find that VC experience, syndication and VC size expand the spatial reach. I also observe differences in how experience affects geographic scope at the state level. The results show that U.S. VC industry is not homogeneous, exhibits different regional characteristics regarding investment patterns and is concentrated in few areas such as Silicon Valley, California and Route 128, Massachusetts. I find that for VCs located in those regions, experience does not affect geographic preferences regarding in-state investments while a positive effect on the geographic scope of their activities can be observed for the out-of-state investments. For the VCs based anywhere else in the U.S., the results show that accumulation of experience leads to making more investments locally. Keywords: venture
Why executives derail: perspectives across time and cultures

Executive Overview Derailment studies conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) in the 1970s and 1980s provided many valuable insights into the developmental needs of managers aspiring to senior leadership positions in the United States.1 This most recent study by CCL attempts to determine whether or not the concept of derailment and the factors involved have stood the test of time and are applicable across cultures. The answers are critical in light of today's global and ever-changing business environment where executives are likely to live or work on assignments outside their native countries and where the very pace of change has created new and different challenges for managing people.
