Two fundamental questions of interest with regard to the Andean Plateau are the mass balance of material needed to create and sustain a 3–4-km-high plateau and the relationship between the plateau and the bending of the Bolivian orocline. The link between these two questions is the distribution of shortening through the Central Andes. Is crustal shortening suffi cient to support an isostatically compensated 60–70-km-thick crust? Is differential shortening between the hinge of the orocline and its limbs suffi cient to account for both physiographic curvature and measured rotations? Three-dimensional (3-D) models of deformation within curved orogens require, in addition to paleomagnetic data, viable two-dimensional estimates of displacements. To this end, we present new map data and use those data to derive estimates of shortening across the northern margin of the Andean Plateau. The cross-section extent, from the eastern edge of the volcanic arc to the foreland basin, is approximately one half of the physiographic width of the Andean Plateau in Peru. Cross-sectional shortening estimates in southern Peru (12–14°S) provide a preferred estimate of 123 km or 40% shortening, with a minimum estimate of 58 km or 25% shortening and maximum estimate of 333 km or 65% shortening. The largest controlling factor on the magnitude of shortening is where basement becomes involved in thrust belt deformation. Using our preferred shortening estimate, the differential shortening between our cross section on the northern margin of the Bolivian orocline (12–14°S) and cross sections across the axis of the Bolivian orocline (17–18°S) is 177 km, corresponding to 23° of rotation. The differential shortening for the young (younger than 15 Ma) deformation of the Altiplano and Subandean region between 12–14°S and 17–18°S is 88 km, correlating to 11.5° of rotation. While differential shortening can account for young (younger than 15 Ma) vertical-axis rotations, it cannot completely account for early 45– 35 Ma rotations (37° ± 15°). This suggests that forearc rotations refl ect both bending due to differential shortening, ~12°, as well as block rotations (~25°–30°), which facilitated deformation in a tightening core and transported material toward the center of the orocline. The preferred estimate of shortening is well short of the required 240–300 km of shortening needed to account for a 60–70-km-thick crust under the entire plateau. This suggests that for an isostatically equilibrated crust, either (1) there is a signifi cant amount of shortening (~100–150 km) in the western half of the plateau that is hidden by the volcanic arc; or (2) crustal material is being added to the Peruvian section of the Andean Plateau, most likely through lower-crustal fl ow.

Development of Citizens’ Trust through Social Media Platforms in a Public Food Standards Agency in Pakistan: Role of Transparency and Responsiveness

The problem of citizens’ mistrust in government institutions has been prevailing in various countries around the world. Nowadays, government institutions attempt to curb this issue by narrowing the gap of communication with citizens through online channels such as social media, which allows citizens to access timely and authentic information. The purpose of this paper is to assess citizens’ perceptions about transparency and responsiveness in the context of social media use of a public agency in Pakistan and to investigate whether the perception about transparency and responsiveness helps in the development of citizens’ trust in a government agency. An empirical investigation is conducted by employing a quantitative survey design. The survey data was taken randomly from 393 social media followers of a government agency in Pakistan (Punjab Food Authority), which was then analyzed by using the structural equation modeling technique (CB-SEM) to obtain the findings. The results indicate that the transparency of information and active responsiveness ensured by the Pakistani agency on social media contributes to the development of followers/citizens’ trust in that agency. This study contributes to the literature and provides empirical evidence for practical implications. Multiple government institutions in Pakistan and elsewhere, particularly in developing countries, can practically implement such practices in their online communication with citizens to gain citizen trust.
THE STUDY OFLONG NON-CODING RNAs(NAALADL2 AND XIST) GENEEXPRESSION IN DIFFUSE LARGE B CELL LYMPHOMA

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most predominant type of Non Hodgkin- Lymphomas, representing more than one third of all recently diagnosed cases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNA not coding for protein having more than 200 nucleotides and have significant roles in tumor formation and they have been investigated in different types of solid and hematologic tumors, including DLBCL.This work aims to study the level of lncRNAs(NAALADL2 and XIST)gene expression in DLBCL.NAALADL2 and XIST gene expression levels in blood were performed by real time qPCR technique. Forty five DLBCL patients and forty five age and gender matched healthy controls were included in this study.There was significant statistical increase in the expression of NAALADL2 and decrease of XIST expression in patients compared to control group (p value 10.3 and<1.57 for NAALADL2 and XISTrespectively.There was significant positive correlation between NAALADL2 and advanced stage and a significant negative correlation is found between XIST and advanced stage. It may be concluded that NAALADL2 and XISTexpression levels were obviously associated with DLBCL and might determine the disease progression.

The titration curve of native C reactive protein

We have studied the electrophoretic mobility of purified human C reactive protein (CRP) in a gradient from pH 3.0 to 9.0 produced by the titration curve method. The results suggest that the major species has a pI at pH 6.3 ± 0.2. From pH 7.2 to 8.5, CRP was at its isoelectric point and did not migrate from the application trough. From pH 4.0 to 5.0, CRP produced a hazy, diffuse pattern most probably due to instability in the region close to the isoelectric point of the acid‐denatured form of the molecule. Below pH 4 CRP resolubilized to assume heterogenic anionic forms.
Thermoelastic properties of beryl, topaz, diaspore, sanidine and periclase

Elastic and thermoelastic constants of beryl (Be 3 Al 2 Si 6 O 18 ), topaz (Al 2 F 2 SiO 4 ), diaspore (AlOOH), sanidine (K 0.89 Na 0.11 AlSi 3 O 8 ) and periclase (MgO) have been determined from ultrasonic resonance frequencies of thick plates. The mean elastic stiffnesses of diaspore and corundum and also of sanidine and α-quartz are closely related. Correlations between thermoelastic properties and thermal expansion are discussed. Crystals with a close-packed structure of oxygen ions exhibit much larger absolute values for the temperature derivative of the mean elastic stiffness than crystals with smaller packing density such as certain tecto- and ino-silicates
Fault Classification and Diagnosis of UAV motor Based on Estimated Nonlinear Parameter of Steady-State Model

UAVs are now applied to various fields, from military missions to civilian applications. A malfunction in the drone’s thrust system during flights can result in collisions and damages of property or human injury. To prevent this, the tolerant control of the multicopter has been studied to stabilize attitude, but it tends to focus on shortsighted management. In this paper, we propose an overall fault diagnostic technique for the UAV motor itself. To do this, we derive a model for the UAV motor in the normal steady-state using a nonlinear equation, which is then experimentally verified with 99% accuracy. We consider bearing friction increase, phase open, propeller broken, transistor open, and back EMF signal errors for malfunction of UAV motor, and we suggest a simple fault diagnosis algorithm by an analysis of the fault characteristics. We show the effectiveness of our diagnostic technique by the experimental results of the testbed and flight model.
Determination of phytic acid in rapeseed meal

A new method has been developed for the determination of phytic acid in rapeseed meal based on extraction of the phytate with 15% trichloroacetic acid. After enzymatic hydrolysis with phytase from wheat, the phosphate is determined spectrophotometrically. The method has been applied to a number of varieties of rapeseed. The variation within a variety was nearly as high as within a population of varieties of the same species. The results imply that the phytic acid content of rapeseed is mostly influenced by environmental factors such as the availability of phosphorus in the soil.
An efficient global analysis of a rectenna using the combination of a full-wave model and a rational approximation

The paper presents a reliable model for the susceptibility analysis of a Rectenna (Rectifying Antenna) in the context of microwave energy transfer. The approach allows to take into account both distributed electromagnetic portions of the antenna and the rectifier circuit including lumped elements. From the 3D electromagnetic modelling of the structure the input impedance is obtained as a function of frequency. Then a rational approximation of the Laplace variable is chosen to describe the port behaviour. The technique provides a straightforward way for a time domain simulation using Pspice or Saber. The proposed approach can be efficiently used to provide a non-linear time-domain study in the framework of EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) for various electronic equipments involving printed circuit-boards, internal structures of electronic components or Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).

Salinity endurance of marine macro Rhodophycean algae with special emphasis on myo-inositol biosynthesis: An enzymological analysis from Halymenia venusta Børgesen

Altered salinity is one the most important perils encountered by marine plants inclusive of algae. Under hyper saline condition, plants accumulate several stress relieving osmolytes including myo-inositol, the most widespread cyclitol in plants. The present communication reports the occurrence of myo-inositol biosynthesis in six different Rhodophycean seaweeds growing under stressful intertidal habitats of the Okha coast (Gujarat, India), on the basis of a study conducted on two marker enzymes of myo-inositol biosysnthesis [L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS)and D/L-myoinositol-1-phosphate phosphatase (MIPP)]. Both enzymes were partially purified from Halymenia venusta to about 27 fold (MIPS) and 39 fold (MIPP) over the homogenate following low-speed centrifugation, 30-75% ammonium sulphate fractionation, successive chromatography through DEAE-cellulose / CM-Cellulose, Sephadex G-200 and BioGel 0.5m / Ultrogel AcA 34 columns. The temperature and pH optima for MIPS and MIPP were similar and were recorded to be 35oC and 7.5 respectively. For MIPS, D-glucose-6-phosphate and NAD were the exclusive substrate and coenzyme respectively and D/L-I-1-P was the sole substrate for MIPP. The Km values for D-glucsoe-6-phosphate and β-NAD were recorded to be 3.599 mM and 0.2366 mM respectively, while the Km value for D-I-1-P was found to be 0.4070 mM. K+ exhibited slight stimulatory effect while Li+ was strongly inhibitory for both the enzymes. Ca2+ on the other hand exhibited a mild stimulatory and Cd2+ reduced activities of both MIPS and MIPP. MIPP was especially stimulated by Mg2+. On the other hand Cu2+ and Hg2+ were strong inhibitors for both the enzymes. A steady and proportionate increase in the content of free myo-inositol was observed along with the elevated levels of recorded salinity.
Immediate implant placement with immediate provisionalization in the maxillary esthetic zone using mixture of allograft and xenograft vs xenografts to augment the jumping gap (A Randomized Clinical Trial)

AIM: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of grafting material in the jumping gap and their effect on the marginal bone loss in upper esthetic zone by using mixture of allograft and xenograft versus xenograft. Material and methods: A total of 20 extractions sockets, in 17 patients who had non-restorable maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone indicated for implant placement. They were selected from the outpatient clinic of the oral Maxillofacial surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. The study group where the periimplant gap was filled with mixture of allograft and xenograft and the control group where the resultant gap following placement of implant was filled with xenograft. After implant placement, all patients received immediate and 6 months postoperative CBCT to assess the efficacy of grafting material in the jumping gap. The pink esthetic scores were measured at the time of implant placement and 6 months postoperatively. Results: In the present study, twenty implants were placed in seventeen patients (10 females and 7 males) requiring replacement of maxillary anterior teeth. The implants used had diameters of 3.3, 3.7 and length of 14 mm in both groups. In the study group, 2 laterals and 6 centrals and 2 canine were extracted while in the control group 4 laterals and 5 centrals and 1 canine were extracted. the mean bone loss in study group 0.43±0.2 mm ranged from 0.18-0.9 mm compared to 0.34±0.1 mm in control group with range 0.13-0.5 p=0.2193. In addition, the soft tissue changes was evaluated immediately postoperative and 6 month later. The mean PES in the study group was 12.4±1.07 and for the control group it was 12.7±0.82. P=0.4906 . After 6 month the mean PES was 11.7±1.05 for study group A and 12.1±0.73 for control group B. P=0.3357 Conclusion: After comparing the results taken from both groups and comparing them to each other, we conclude that: -Immediate implant with immediate temporization is a viable technique for emergence profile preservation, which subsequently adds to better result regarding radiographic bony changes and pink esthetic score. -Xenograft as jumping gap filling material is successful for preservation labial cortical plate in immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone.

How to join the unicorn club?

The global start-up sector is growing and investments have reached an all-time high. Especially, the rare-breed of “Unicorn Start-ups” have shaken up the start-up ecosystem and thereby created a lot of buzz. Although there are countless numbers of start-ups that have managed to build strong brand from scratch, it is said that founding a successful start-up is actually truly against the odds and that solely 1 out of 200 newly founded start-ups survives on the market. Several studies point out that one of the reasons for this is that most start-ups fail to build a brand. Because most branding literature focuses on well-established companies that in contrast to start-ups have financial means and human resources, there is a lack of branding guidelines for entrepreneurs. Therefore, in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs were held in order to explore branding strategies among start-ups. XXX
The effect of timing and oxidation on emissions from biodiesel-fueled engines.

The alkyl monoesters of fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, known as biodiesel, are attracting considerable interest as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Biodiesel-fueled engines produce less carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and particulate emissions than diesel-fueled engines. However, biodiesel has different chemical and physical properties than diesel fuel, including a larger bulk modulus and a higher cetane number. Some of these properties can be affected by oxidation of the fuel during storage. These changes can affect the timing of the combustion process and potentially cause increases in emissions of oxides of nitrogen. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of injection and combustion timing on biodiesel combustion and exhaust emissions. A John Deere diesel engine was fueled with two different biodiesel fuels, one of which had been deliberately oxidized, and with their 20% blends with No. 2 diesel fuel. The engine was operated at three different timings and two loads at a single engine speed of 1400 rpm. The engine performance of the biodiesel was similar to that of No. 2 diesel fuel with nearly the same thermal efficiency. The range of injection timings studied produced changes of 50% and 34% in the CO and HC emissions, respectively. A reduction in NO x emissions of 35% to 43% was observed for a 3° retarded injection timing compared with a 3° advanced injection timing. A common linear relationship was found between the start of injection and the NO x emissions for all the fuels studied. When compared at the same start of combustion, the neat biodiesel produced lower NO x emissions than the No. 2 diesel fuel.
