Anatomical and Histological Study of local dog Penis

The penis is the male organ of coition through it urine and semen go out via the penile urethra. The prepuce is an introverted fold of abdominal cavity skin that surrounds the free margin of the penis. There are scarce studies regarding male dog genital system in Iraq. Therefore, this study intends to study the gross and histological features of the penis of the local dog. Five local adult dogs used in this study. Penis gross anatomy including the length, width, and Os – penis were evaluated. In addition, histological sections were also prepared from penis and Os –penis and stained with hematoxylin – eosin. Anatomically, the average length and width of the dog penis were 17 cm, and 2 cm respectively, while the Os – penis length was about 13 cm. The penis composed from root, body, and glans or free part, which appeared as a cone shape. Histologically, the body consist from corpus cavernosum and spongiosum while, the Os – penis was composed essentially of spongy bone. Moreover, the corpus cavernosum revealed to consist of intermediate caverns and connective tissue. The corpus spongiosum composed from large caverns. The skin of dog penis is devoid of hair as a result of absent of hair follicles. A part from retractor penis muscle was composed of smooth muscle. In conclusion, this study described the macroscopic and microscopic structures of dog penis and approved that dog penis classified as intermediate type according to the corpus cavernosum structure.

The magmatic immiscibility between silicate-, brine-, and Fe-S-O melts from the porphyry (Cu-Au-Mo) deposits in the Carpathians (Romania): a review

The magmatic fluid phase immiscibility between salt-, silicate-, and Fe-S-O melts from Miocene porphyry Cu-Au-(Mo) deposits from Metaliferi Mountains and Eastern Carpathians in Romania is characterized based on ultrahigh temperature microthermometry (i.e. ≥ 900-1100°C) and petrography of the fluid and melt inclusions assemblages, and was described first time two decades ago by the author, mainly in the potassic zone from some of these ore deposits, i.e. Deva, Roşia-Poieni, Tarnita, Bolcana, Rovina, Valea-Morii, Tălagiu in Metaliferi Mountains and SuplaiMăgura Neagră from Ţibles massif in Eastern Carpathians. These data are reviewed here and new data and interpretations are added. There are five major types of fluid and melt inclusions in the investigated deposits (i.e. silicate melt, hydrous salt melt, vapor-rich, aqueous liquid-rich and globular (Fe-S-O) immiscible melt). The magmatic immiscibility between silicate-salt-(Fe-S-O) melt at ≥ 900-1100°C and calculated pressure range from 0.3 and 12.8 kbars was documented in separate and/or coeval inclusions. Two main processes were involved in their generation: (1) direct exsolution from magma and (2) endogeneous autometasomatism. These processes started deep in the magma source and finished in the upper levels of the shallow intrusives in complex stratovolcanoes and/or calderas.
FA ] 2 A pr 2 01 2 Reflexive Operator Algebras on Banach Spaces by

In this paper we study the reflexivity of a unital strongly closed algebra of operators with complemented invariant subspace lattice on a Banach space. We prove that if such an algebra contains a complete Boolean algebra of projections of finite uniform multiplicity and with the direct sum property, then it is reflexive, i.e. it contains every operator that leaves invariant every closed subspace in the invariant subspace lattice of the algebra. In particular, such algebras coincide with their bicommutant.
Reducing fertilization rate and nitrogen input have no effect on Nile tilapia production in periphyton-based culture with supplemental feeding.

Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus , with an average individual weight of 87.4 g at a density 3 fish ∙m -2 were used to determine growth and production in periphyton-based tanks. The trial was conducted in 10 m 2 concrete tanks for a 120-day period. A 10 cm deep layer of soil was placed at the bottom of each tank. Bamboo poles with an approximate submerged surface area of 50% of the total tank surface area were inserted vertically into the soil to act as substrate for periphyton. A biweekly fertilizer dose of triple superphosphate (TSP) and cow manure at the rates of 35 g ∙ tank -1 and 250 g ∙ tank -1 , respectively, were applied to the experimental tanks. In order to test the effect of reducing nitrogen input, four levels of urea were used with TSP and cow manure; 60, 30, 15 or 7.5 g ∙ tank -1 . The fish were fed daily with a commercial diet containing 30% crude protein at 50% satiation throughout the experimental period. The results indicated that reduction of fertilization rate and nitrogen input have no effect on water quality or production of Nile tilapia in periphyton-based culture. The system gave an average gross yield of 0.86 kg ∙m -2 with 92% survival.
BeBeC-2018-D 28 1 COMBINING SIGNAL PRE-PROCESSING METHODS WITH BEAMFORMING FOR BROADBAND TURBOMACHINERY APPLICATIONS

This study investigates a novel method for separating apart the broadband and tonal components in beamforming maps. A possible method for separating apart the tonal and broadband noise sources is to post-process the beamforming maps, analyzing the beamforming maps and the spectrum of the beamforming peaks, manually separating the identified noise sources into categories. This separation process is quite subjective, as the locations of many dominant noise sources often overlap for both tonal as well as broadband noise generation mechanisms. A more objective method for separating apart noise sources is the pre-processing of microphone signals prior to beamforming, applying methods capable of separating apart the broadband and tonal components in the audio signals, which have been recorded by the individual microphones of the array. The combination of preprocessing the microphone signals in order to remove the tonal noise and beamforming the new signals results in a novel approach for the investigation of the broadband noise generation mechanisms. In this investigation a complex turbomachinery test case is looked at, namely counter-rotating open rotors, using phased array microphones and beamforming technology. Though applied here to counter-rotating open rotors, the method applicable to all turbomachinery cases.
MACROECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, SOCIOPOLITICAL INSTABILITY AND PUBLIC PROVISION: EFFECTS ON PRIVATE INVESTMENT

This paper examines empirically the effects of macroeconomic imbalances as captured by real exchange rate volatility, sociopolitical instability using a wide array of social and political variables and provision of infrastructure on private investment. Whilst most of the available studies on private investment focus either in the macroeconomic conditions or political conditions to explain private investment patterns, this work goes beyond existing literature to jointly examine the effects of the above factors and extends the line of research by incorporating a neglected thus far element, that of infrastructure availability. The study is carried out for a wide range of developing countries for the last three decades. Interesting policy implications stemming from the analysis regard the implementation of macro policies serving to limit excess volatility in relative prices, institutional reforms that lessen social tensions and provision of adequate amount and quality of public infrastructure to enable investment undertaking by lowering investors’ costs.
COMPARISON OF MOISTURE RELATED PROPERTIES OF PET / CV BLENDED NONWOVEN FABRICS

Moisture related properties of polyester (PET) / viscose (CV) nonwoven fabrics were investigated in this research. Four different nonwoven fabrics, PCV0, PCV1, PCV2 and PCV3, having different viscose proportion namely 0%, 30%, 50% and 70% were selected, respectively. The manufacturing techniques and fabric thickness values were kept the same for the comparison of tested fabrics. Moisture absorption, vertical water wicking, air and water vapor permeability tests were carried out and also moisture transmission performance of the blended nonwoven fabrics was examined in order to evaluate the effects of fiber ratios on moisture related properties of the blended fabrics. It was determined that higher viscose content in the blended fabrics result in higher vertical water vicking performance of the fabric. The moisture content of the fabrics also increased with increasing viscose proportion. This is most probably because of the high moisture absorption capacity of the viscose fibers. The wetting time and wetting radius results are in reverse ratio with the viscose proportion of the fabrics in moisture management test. It can be also stated that permeability properties depend not only viscose content but also fabric structural parameters.
An analysis of word formation process in everyday communication on Facebook

This study aimed at looking the most common word formation process among Malaysian Facebook users. The main objectives are to describe the common features of word formation process used by Malaysian young adult Facebook users and identify the causes for employing these features on Facebook communication. The result showed that the participants used three most common word formation processes; abbreviation (clipping, acronyms and combination of letters), blending and the use of emoticons in everyday communication on Facebook. Abbreviation found as the most common word formation process among the three features with 73%. There are several reasons of this occurrence identified through online interview of the participants. Almost all the participants provided similar reasons for employing these features. Mainly, the participants intend to save time, fill the communication gap or barrier among the users, indicate the group membership and show some excitements that represent the emotions and feelings through communicating on Facebook.
COMBINATORIAL MODELLING AND TESTING OF PLC SOFTWARE USING ACTS

Testing is a crucial and necessary part of software development used to detect faults and make sure that the software works properly. One testing method proposed in research is named combinatorial testing, where a test suite covers all combinations of parameter values in a certain way. There is some evidence that indicated that most faults are triggered by a few number of parameter value combinations. There have been various tools proposed for using combinatorial testing in practice. ACTS is one of the most popular combinatorial research tools. Even if ACTS has been used in several industrial projects, few studies have shown how such a combinatorial testing tool can be used for modelling and test generation for industrial control software. In this study we apply modelling and test generation using ACTS on a Programmable Logic Control (PLC) software. This kind of software is used in the safety critical domain for controlling different computer devices, such as a train control management system, which is in charge of many of the critical and safety related procedures on a train. Testing this kind of software is very important because failures can contribute to the loss of lives and money. We show how ACTS can be applied to PLC software. We evaluated ACTS in terms of applicability (i.e., how can ACTS can be applied directly on modelling the PLCs) and efficiency in terms of generation time and test suite size. We used 17 PLC programs provided by Bombardier Transportation. Based on the number of inputs in a program we divided the programs into three complexity categories: small, medium and large programs. An input space model was created for each program, where the needed information was obtained from both the programs and the engineers writing the programs. Each model was created as a system in the graphical interface of ACTS. The different algorithms and combinatorial techniques supported by ACTS were used to generate test suites by varying coverage of the parameter combinations (i.e. t-way) in the command line of ACTS. In this study we used a cut-off time of 1 hour for the test generation, as this is a realistic estimation based on discussion with industrial engineers. Our results showed that not all combinations of algorithms and combinatorial strengths could generate a test suite within the cut-off time. We argue that the results of the the modelling process and the results showing the efficiency of the test generation tool can be useful for practitioners considering to use combinatorial testing for PLC software.
Armed conflict and terrorism as determinants of foreign aid

This paper studies the impact of armed conflict and terrorism on allocation of foreign aid. These types of violence may constitute a hindrance for economic development and reduce the potential for an optimal use of resources, and consequently discourage donors. However, aid may serve as reimbursement for counter-terrorist efforts that benefit the donor country. The empirical strategy is based on the two-way panel data estimation. The results show that armed conflict has a large and negative effect on both multilateral and bilateral aid. However, bilateral donors seem to turn a blind eye on violence in oil exporting countries. Although international terrorism tends to increase bilateral aid, bilateral donors seem indifferent to domestic terrorism and tend to penalize the poorest countries affected by this form of violence. At the same time, multilateral aid does not react to international terrorism, but reacts to its domestic variant.
Human Capital disclosure on LinkedIn

Background: Human capital disclosure is a widely examined topic by scholars, previous studies has mainly focused on annual reports and companies webpages. However, during the last decade, social media has grown in importance and it represent a new way for companies to interact with stakeholders. The increased interactivity provided by social network sites have made it one of the most important communication tools for companies to interact with stakeholders. One of the larger social media, LinkedIn has received little attention by researchers, only one previous study has investigate human capital disclosure on LinkedIn. Previous research has examined different corporate disclosure in connection to ownership structure. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between ownership structure and human capital disclosure made by companies in Sweden and Norway via LinkedIn. Method: This study is conducted with a quantitative methodology, investigating a sample of 150 companies from Sweden and Norway. Human capital disclosure on LinkedIn are analysed through a content analysis and a regression analysis to test the hypothesis in this study. Conclusion: The results confirm the hypothesis that a negative relationship exists between ownership concentration and the level of human capital disclosure via LinkedIn. This is in line with previous research; however, this study shows that companies in a more digitalized environment disclose more HC information.
Optimization of biodiesel production from non-edible seeds of Delonix regia ( Gul Mohr )

Concerns on the ever increasing cost of fossil fuel, fast depletion of world reserves and the impact on environmental pollution has necessitated the search for alternative energy sources. Consequently, biofuels (biodiesel, bioalcohol and biogas) have been identified as sustainable substitutes. The use of food crops for biodiesel production has been very much criticized as they affect food supply. As a result, scientists are now focusing on the utilization of non-edible feedstock for biodiesel production. It is on this background that Delonix regia (flame of the forest) is being investigated as possible feedstock for the production of biodiesel in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. D. regia is a prolific bearer commonly grown as an ornamental. Extracted oil was upgraded by transesterification using sodium methoxide as catalyst. An optimal biodiesel yield of 87% was obtained within 60min at 60C by using 6:1 molar ratio (methanol: oil), 0.7% w/v catalyst concentration and 600rpm agitation. Biodiesel analysis showed comparable results with ASTM standards in terms of acid value, kinematic viscosity, free fatty acid, density, colour, ash and water contents, as well as flash, pour and cloud points. The overall results show that Delonix regia oil can serve as a veritable feedstock for the production of biodiesel that can effectively be utilized in diesel engines.

Blood sample was drawn from each woman to determine specific antirubella antibodies (IgM and IgG) by using Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA). The results revealed that anti-rubella IgG , IgM and both IgG & IgM antibodies at the same time for the 220 pregnant women were 85.90 % , 4.55 % and 1.82% respectively. The study revealed that the highest rate of seropositivity was in the age group 24-29 years, while the lowest rate was in older age group ≥36 years. Also the study revealed that the rate of seropositivity of rubella-IgG was higher (65.6%) among women who lives in urban areas while the highest seropositivity for rubella-IgM and both IgM and IgG at the same time were among women who lives in rural areas with significant relation P< 0.05 . Regarding the relation of rubella antibodies among pregnant women with the number of children, highest rates for rubella-IgM and both IgM and IgG at the same time were recorded among pregnant women with no children than who had one child or more while for rubella IgG the highest rate was among pregnant women with two children with significant relation P< 0.05. The study revealed that the pregnant women in the second trimester had highest rate of seropositivity for antirubella IgG, while the highest rates for antirubella IgM an both IgM and IgG at the same time was recorded among pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy. In relation to the history of abortion and the seropositivity of rubella antibodies were the (61.58 %) of pregnant women had history of abortion with significant relation P< 0.05, however the abortional frequency were had no more deferent recorded among pregnant women with history of one abortion or more with non-significant relation P>0.05.
Machine Learning Methods for Segmentation in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

In Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), automated segmentation of kidneys for total kidney volume (TKV) measurement is very challenging due to severe, disease-related alterations in kidney morphology. This PhD thesis analyzes the applicability and performance of machine learning techniques (Random Forests and Deep Learning) for kidney segmentation in ADPKD. The developed segmentation method based on Deep Learning allows fast and reproducible TKV measurements, demonstrating that machine learning can be successfully used for complex medical image segmentation tasks.
Modeling and η-α-Pareto Optimization of Inductive Power Transfer Coils for Electric Vehicles

This paper details the optimization of inductive power transfer (IPT) coil systems with respect to efficiency η and area-related power density α as required in electric vehicle applications. Based on analytical calculations and finite-element models, which are discussed and experimentally verified in detail, generally valid design guidelines for high-power IPT systems are derived, and the η-α-Pareto optimization of a scaled 5 kW prototype system is presented. Experiments demonstrate a dc-todc conversion efficiency of more than 96.5% at a power density of 1.47 kW/dm2 with coils of 210 mm diameter/52 mm air gap, including the losses in the resonant capacitors and the power converter. Field measurements validate the predicted stray field with a calculation error of less than 10%.
Partial Benders Decomposition Strategies for Two-Stage Stochastic Integer Programs

Benders decomposition is a broadly used used exact solution method for stochastic programming, enabling such programs to be decomposed according to the realizations of the random events that set the values of their stochastic parameters. This strategy also comes with important drawbacks, however, such as a weak master problem following the relaxation step that confines the dual cuts to the scenario sub-problems. We propose the first comprehensive Partial Benders Decomposition methodology for twostage integer stochastic program, based on the idea of including explicit information from the scenario sub-problems in the master. We propose two scenario-retention strategies that include a subset of the second stage scenario variables in the master, aiming to significantly reduce the number of feasibility cuts generated. We also propose a scenariocreation strategy to improve the lower-bound provided by the master problem, as well as three hybrids obtained by combining these pure strategies. We report the results of an extensive experimental campaign on two-stage stochastic multicommodity network design problems. The analysis clearly shows the proposed methodology yields significant benefits in computation efficiency, solution quality, and stability of the solution process.
