Structural, electrical, and strain properties of stoichiometric 1−x−y(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3−x(Bi0.5K0.5TiO3)−y(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 solid solutions

Results on two series of lead-free piezoelectric solid solutions of 1−x−y(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3−x(Bi0.5K0.5TiO3)−y(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 (BNT-BKT-KNN) ceramics, synthesized in the vicinity of ferroelectric rhombohedral (x=0.17) and ferroelectric tetragonal (x=0.20) phase boundary of 1−x(BNT)–xBKT are presented. Orthorhombic KNN in stoichiometric proportion as third component with 0.0≤y≤0.06 is added to prepare these two series (i) with x=0.17 and (ii) with x=0.20. Addition of KNN up to a critical y is observed to improve tetragonality in both series and solid solubility of KNN was verified at least up to y=0.1 in this system. Depolarization temperature Td of these stoichiometric BNT-BKT-KNN series were found to be considerably lower than that of their parent BNT-BKT compositions. As a result of this, coexistence of polar and nonpolar phases for compositions at morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) were indicated at room temperature, resulting in pinched polarization versus electric field (P-E) loops and large strain (stra.
On the decidability of the p-adic exponential ring

Let Zp be the ring of p-adic integers and Ep be the map x-->exp(px) where exp denotes the exponential map determined by the usual power series. It defines an exponential ring (Zp, + , . , 0, 1, Ep). The goal of the thesis is to study the model theory of this structure. In particular, we are interested by the question of the decidability of this theory. The main theorem of the thesis is: Theorem: If the p-adic Schanuel's conjecture is true, then the theory of (Zp, + , . , 0, 1, Ep) is decidable. The proof involves: 1- A result of effective model-completeness (chapters 3 and 4): If F is a family of restricted analytic functions (i.e. power series with coefficients in the valuation ring and convergent on Zp) closed under decomposition functions and such that the set of terms in the language LF= (+, . , 0, 1, f; f in F) is closed under derivation, then we prove that the theory of Zp in the language LF is model-complete. And furthermore, if each term of LF has an effective Weierstrass bound, then the model-completeness is effective. 2- A resolution of the decision problem for existential formulas (assuming Schanuel's conjecture) in chapter 5. We also consider the problem of the decidability of the structure (Op, + , . , 0, 1, |, E_p) where Op denotes the valuation ring of Cp. We give a positive answer to this question assuming the p-adic Schanuel's conjecture.
EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF A PESTICIDE SYNTHETIC PYRETHROID TO FRESHWATER FISH TISSUES OF ESOMUS DANRICUS (HAM.)

The present investigation was designed to compare the responses in freshwater fish Esomus danricus exposed to a cypermethrin [(R,S)-a-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1RS)-cis,tra-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylate]. Cyoermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid, in this effects may include both lethal and sublethal concentrations, which may change the growth rate of fish development, reproduction of the fish, physiology, histopathology, biochemistry and behavior on target organisms and undesirable perturbations in the environment. The effect was assessed on the basis of the comparison of results of GSI and HSI and histological examinations. The present study showed that observed alterations in all GSI, HSI and histological observations of fish treated pesticide.
Dynamic Infant-Parent Affect Coupling during the Face-to-Face and Still-Face Paradigm: Inter- and Intra-Dyad Differences

We examined dynamic infant-parent affect coupling using the Face-to-Face/Still-Face (FFSF) paradigm. The sample included 20 infants whose older siblings had been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD-sibs), and 18 infants with comparison siblings (COMP-sibs). A series of extended autoregressive models was used to represent the self-regulation and interactive dynamics of infants and parents during FFSF. Significant bidirectional affective coupling was found between infants and parents, with the former serving as the “leading members” of the dyads. Further analysis of within-dyad dynamics revealed ongoing changes in concurrent infant-parent linkages both within and across different FFSF episodes. The importance of considering both inter- and intra-dyad differences is discussed. The study of dyadic interaction can be construed in dynamic terms. Members of a dyad are intertwined: they act and react to each other’s behaviors and emotions much in manner of a coupled dynamic system (Boker Laurenceau, The cascading effects of such interactions can often lead to highly unpredictable outcomes, triggered both by the dynamics inherent to each dyadic member, as well as the interdependencies between the past histories and the future responses of the two dyad members. Likewise, subtle between-dyad differences can manifest themselves in whether and how dyad members are “coupled” to one another over time. Such differences may be obscured if static mean differences are examined alone (Smith & Thelen, 1993; West, 1985). systems-based concepts dyadic
Multivariate distributions generated from mixtures of convolution and product families

A number of standard univariate distributions can be rep-resented as mixtures of other standard distributions. In this paper such mixture representations are exploited to generate families of multivariate distributions with given marginals. Attention is confined to mixtures of parametric families where the parameter appears as the order of a convolution or as a power of the distribution or survival function. The mixture structure yields properties of the generated multivariate distributions such as total positivity, association and infinite divisibility. Examples obtained include the bivariate Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, normal, chi-square, logistic and Pareto distributions.
Center-of-Mass, Schrodinger Bound State and Hydrodynamics

There have been various derivations of the Schrodinger equation in the literature (e.g. (1)) based on hydrodynamics (continuity and conservation of momentum equations) with the added assumption that a velocity field u(x,t) = d/dx S(x,t) where S(x,t) is a new field. Furthermore a mathematical transformation Wv= sqrt(d(x,t)) exp(i S(x,t)) is used leading to the new function Wv(x). In (2) we compared the bound state Schrodinger scenario to the hydrodynamic equations in (1). In (1) d u(x,t)/dt = -dV/dx -dW/dx ((1)). V(x) is the usual potential and W(x) is described as a fluid stress potential. We also compared (1) to a free quantum particle and found that S(x,t) must contain a -Et piece if the hydrodynamical approach is to match quantum mechanics. In (1), ((1)) is shown to be equivalent to: d/dt partial S + 1⁄2 u(x,t)u(x,t) + W(x) + V(x) = 0 ((2)) with W being expressed in terms of spatial derivatives of density. d/dt partial S yields -E and u(x,t)=0 for a bound state so ((2)) is of the form of a conservation of energy equation. If a free quantum particle is described spatially by exp(ipx) then one may create a distribution Sum over p a(p)exp(ipx) and calculate average kinetic energy [-1/2m Sum over p a(p)pp/2m exp(ipx)] / [Sum over p a(p)exp(ipx)] and set it equal to W(x) as done in (2). In this note, we wish to examine the idea of a free particle conditional probability exp(-iEt+ipx) and compare it to the Schrodinger bound state which itself may be considered a localized solution if one ignores the internal wavefunction and considers only the center of mass features exp(-i (masses +En) t + ipoverall x) where p(overall) =0. We argue that center of mass features are contained in the Schrodinger bound state solution if one integrates over x relative to cm, the x variable in the Schrodinger equation. The idea of time t only applies to the cm, there is no time in Sum over p a(p)exp(ipx). Furthermore p(overall) =0 only if one integrates W(x) (-id/dx W) over all x (relative to cm). Also the form -i d/dx Wavefunction(free particle p) = p Wavefunction(free particle) where Conditional Prob= exp(-iEt+ipx) carries over to the bound state with: -i d/dx exp(ln(Wv)) ={ -i d/dx ln(Wv)} exp(ln(Wv)) where Wv=Sum over p a(p)exp(ipx). In other words there is an imaginary momentum -id/dx ln(Wv(x)) at each x in the bound solution so u(x,t)=0 holds for the real part. As a result, the hydrodynamical approach to quantum mechanics is not as straightforward as it may appear on the surface. We try to investigate a number of ideas related to the treatment of quantum bound states using hydrodynamics.
Burden of Inﬂuenza in Children in the Community

Background. Inﬂuenza vaccination of healthy children is encouraged because children are frequently hospitalized for inﬂuenza-attributable illnesses. However, most children with inﬂuenza are treated as outpatients, and scarce data are available on the burden of inﬂuenza in these children. Methods. We performed a prospective study of respiratory infections in preenrolled cohorts of children (cid:1) 13 years old during 2 consecutive respiratory seasons (2231 child-seasons of follow-up). At any sign of respiratory infection, we examined the children and obtained a nasal swab for the detection of inﬂuenza. The parents ﬁlled out daily symptom diaries. Of all the enrollees, 94% remained active participants in the study. Results.
Is Eye Tracking DysfunctionSpecific to Schizophrenia?

Based on eye tracking studies in psychiatric patients, normal controls, and first-degree relatives of patients, Holzman, Proctor, and Levy et al. (1974) state that eye tracking dysfunction (ETD) is specific to schizophrenia and may be a genetic marker of that disorder. A review of numer-ous subsequent studies, however, suggests that ETD is not specific to schizophrenia, but Is restricted to functional psychosis. Evidence that ETD is a genetic marker of functional psychosis is, as yet, Inconclusive. The specificity of eye tracking dysfunction (ETD) entails two interrelat-ed issues: the prevalence/presence of ETD within and across diagnostic categories and the stability of ETD over time in psychiatric patients in whom ETD has been identified. The specificity question was first raised by Holzman, Proctor, and Hughes (1973) and Holzman et al. (1974) who asserted, on the basis of smooth pursuit eye movement studies in Abstract The multilevel control of eye movements for the researcher in the schizophrenic disease process includes the saccadic trajectory, the dual mode tracking system, and schematically directed eye movements in fixation, in scanpaths, and other looking strategies, and in reading. Coordina-tion of eye movements with head movement in gaze and sensory conse-quences and concomitants of eye movements round out the picture. Recent studies with precise bioengineering instrumentation have defined two abnormal patterns of eye move-ments—saccadic intrusions and saccadic "smooth" pursuit. Although these signs are not pathognomonic, they raise interesting questions concerning the relationship of these eye movements to the schizophrenic disease process.
Mixing and mapping: motion, path and manner in Amondawa

‘For more than thirty years our linguistic, psychological, and philosophical disciplines have sought to replicate themselves in the mind/brain of the child. The modules that are postulated often have names that evoke suspicion: they are the names of our own academic fields (linguistics, mathematics, physics, biology) or subfields (closed-class morphemes, grammaticizable notions). Could God or evolution have anticipated the academic and intellectual organization of late twentieth-century America? ’
Effect of different environmental conditions on performance of sapota softwood grafts worked on invigorated khirni rootstock on days required for bud sprouting, sprout length and branches per graft

An experiment entitled “ Effect of different environmental conditions on performance of sapota softwood grafts worked on invigorated khirni rootstock. ” Experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with eight treatment combinations comprising factor A four different environmental conditions C 1 (Open condition), C 2 (Partial shade condition), C 3 (Partial shade (tree shade) condition), C 4 (Poly house condition) and factor B comprised of two decaping height of invigorated khirni rootstock viz., 10 cm and 15 cm from ground level and these were replicated five times. The treatment combination of poly tunnel and decaping height at 15 cm from ground level took minimum days for bud sprouting (15.80) days which was at par with treatment combination green shade net tunnel 50% and decaping height at 15 cm from ground level (16.12) days. Whereas, open condition and decaping height at 10 cm from ground level took maximum days for sprouting (22.46) days.
Hybrid Statistical and Mathematical Model Guides Mobile Health Intervention for Chronic Pain.

Nearly a quarter of visits to the Emergency Department are for conditions that could have been managed via outpatient treatment; improvements that allow patients to quickly recognize and re-ceive appropriate treatment are crucial. The growing popularity of mobile technology creates new opportunities for real-time adaptive medical intervention, and the simultaneous growth of “big data” sources allows for preparation of personalized recommendations. Here we focus on the reduction of chronic suﬀering in the sickle cell disease community. Sickle cell disease is a chronic blood disorder in which pain is the most frequent complication. There currently is no standard algorithm or analytical method for real-time adaptive treatment recommendations for pain. Furthermore, current state-of-the-art methods have diﬃculty in handling continuous-time decision optimization using big data. Facing these challenges, in this study we aim to develop new mathematical tools for incorporating mobile technology into personalized treatment plans for pain. We present a new hybrid model for the dynamics of subjective pain that consists of a dynamical systems approach using diﬀerential equations to predict future pain levels, as well as a statistical approach tying system parameters to patient data (both personal characteristics and medication response history). Pilot testing of our approach suggests that it has signiﬁcant potential to predict pain dynamics given patients’ reported pain levels and medication usages. With more abundant data, our hybrid approach should allow physicians to make personalized, data driven recommendations for treating chronic pain.
Genetic divergence in bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia L.) under undulating topography of Tripura

Genetic divergence among nine genotypes of Bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia L.) for fifteen important yield attributing traits and one qualitative trait was studied under the undulating topography of Tripura using multivariate analysis. The genotypes were logically grouped into three clusters on the basis of divergence analysis. The grouping pattern of genotypes indicated no direct relationship between geographical distribution and genetic distance. High inter cluster distance between cluster II and cluster III suggesting that the genotypes belonging to cluster II and cluster III will be taken in hybridization programme for evolving a good hybrid or segregate. Among the characters, vine length contributed the maximum divergence towards total genetic divergence followed by primary branches per plant, Internodal length, days to 1 st male flower and days to 1 st female flower. Five out of 16 characters had eigenvalue more than 1 and together accounted for 100% of total variation. Based on D 2 statistics, principal component analysis and average values, two genotypes namely, Malda local and Pusa Do Mousumi possessed distinct differences of their genotypic characters and optimum combinations of all variables which could be used as parents in hybridization programme for the development of high yielding bitter gourd variety.
Analysis Of Population Growth As Sociological Factor Affecting Sugarcane Productivity In Pakistan

Unchecked population growth especially in developing countries like Asia and Africa is posing many threats to the world’s resources that limited. Like other sectors of society, population growth also affects agriculture sector as well. That’s why the present study was designed to know about the influence caused by population explosion over agricultural production especially sugarcane. The study was conducted in two districts of Pakistan; Mardan and Charsadda where data was collected through interview schedule/questionnaire from 384 sugarcane growers who were selected through multistage random sampling technique from 12 Union Councils.Bi-variate results of the study show that a positive attitude towards sale of agricultural land for residential purposes caused obvious reduction in sugarcane productivity as evident from a highly significant (p=0.000) and negative association (T^c= -0.109). Likewise, low investment in agricultural constrained sugarcane productivity as obvious form a highly significant (p=0.000) and negative (T^c= -0.144) association. Multivariate results show that farmers from middle socio-economic status group are worst affected in terms of sugarcane production than high socio-economic status groups due to land disputes.Involving religious and political leadership for awareness to control population and through the diffusion of new technologies production processes of sugarcane can be increased. and negative (P=0.050 & T c = -0.275) for low-income groups. Value of level of significance and T c for entire table show highly significant and negative (P=0.000 & T c = -0.188) association between population growth and sugarcane productivity for all the three socio-economic groups. Variation in Kendal T c and chi square significance values for all the three socioeconomic groups indicated that association of population growth and sugarcane productivity is spurious on the basis of socio-economic statuses of the respondents, where middle and low socio-economic group farmers face reduction in sugarcane production at a higher rate than the high socioeconomic status farmers, due to population growth.

Mimicking the behavior of rigid rod molecules. Smectic H liquid crystals from amphiphilic quaternary ammonium salts

The effect of hydrogen bonding secondary interactions on the crystalline and liquid crystalline phases of quaternary ammonium salts functionalized with a carboxylic group attached at the polar head through a decyl spacer of a homologous series of N-alkyl-N-carboxydecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromides was investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The low-temperature crystal phases were found to have a lamellar structure in which the ammonium bromide groups are arranged within the layers in two distinct planes, alternately separated by single layers of alkyl chains and double layers of carboxydecyl chains coupled through the carboxyl end groups. At higher temperatures although these molecules were made from soft flexible chains smectic H mesophases were identified. The smectic layers were found to be formed by the same two ionic planes alternately separated by the alkyl and carboxydecyl sub-layers. The smectic structure was compared with the three-dimensional positional order observed in the smectic T phase of dihydroxyl functionalized quaternary ammonium salts already described in the literature.
A New Dynamic Approach

We model and analyze strategic interaction over time in a duopolistic market. Each period the (cid:133)rms independently and simultaneously choose whether to advertise or not. Advertising increases the own immediate sales, but may also cause an externality, e.g., increase or decrease the immediate sales of the other (cid:133)rm ceteris paribus. There exists also an e⁄ect of past advertisement e⁄orts on current sales. The (cid:145)market potential(cid:146)of each (cid:133)rm is determined by its own but also by its opponent(cid:146)s past e⁄orts. A higher e⁄ort of either (cid:133)rm leads to an increase of the market potential, however the impact of the own past e⁄orts is always stronger than the impact of the opponent(cid:146)s past e⁄orts. How much of the market potential materializes as immediate sales, then depends on the current advertisement decisions. We determine feasible rewards and (subgame perfect) equilibria for the limiting average reward criterion using methods inspired by the repeated-games literature. Uniqueness of equilibrium is by no means guaranteed, but Pareto e¢ ciency may serve very well as a re(cid:133)nement criterion for wide ranges of the advertisement costs. C73,

1Department of Clinical Psychological Sciences, Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands; 2Departement Sielkunde, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa; 3Department of Psychology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, USA; 4Department of Psychology, University of Roehampton London, London, UK Abstract: Selective mutism (SM) is a childhood disorder characterized by a consistent failure to speak in specific social situations (eg, school) despite speaking normally in other settings (eg, at home). This article summarizes evidence supporting the recent classification of SM as an anxiety disorder and discusses the implications of this re-classification for the assessment and treatment of SM in clinical practice. Meanwhile, clinicians should also realize that SM sometimes is a heterogeneous disorder in which other problems are also present that complicate the management of children with SM. As examples, we discuss speech and language problems, developmental delay, and autism spectrum disorders.
How Brain Changes as We Learn Neurology

Neuroplasticity is the capacity of the Nervous System to modify its structural organization and function in response to the experience and to several external and internal factors; structural modifications occur at the cellular and molecular level, creating new synaptic connections that modifies the neurotransmitter release, receptors, intracellular messengers, and signal transduction mechanisms [1]. There is neural plasticity during development of the Nervous System, associated with the learning and memory processes, during aging, through the rehabilitation process after injury, on neurodegenerative diseases and even on neuropsychiatric disorders. The purpose of this study is to review the molecular basis of adult hippocampal neurogenesis and the factors that affects the neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in the adult mammalian hippocampus contributing to understand and to improve the fundamental concepts of Cognitive Neuroscience.
