We demonstrated the pretilt angle effect on the viewing angle properties of a single-domain fringe-field switching (FFS) liquid crystal (LC) mode. By performing the Póincare sphere analysis, we investigated, in detail, the origin of the viewing angle asymmetry that exists in the single-domain FFS LC mode both in the field-on and field-off states. Using this analysis, we confirmed that the pretilt angle reduces the viewing angle symmetry in the single-domain FFS LC mode. Finally, we examined the effect of a zero pretilt angle on the viewing angle symmetry by evaluating real single-domain FFS LC cells.
The Random Walk Hypothesis for BRICS and Pakistan: New Evidence Based on Variance Ratio Tests

This study attempts to re-examine the random walk hypothesis for BRICS-P countries; Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and Pakistan by using daily stock returns ranging from January 2000 to March 2017. The hypothesis is tested through Variance Ratio Tests including the conventional LoMacKinlay, Chow Denning, new Wright’s rank, Sign tests, Hang and Kim sub sampling tests. Results under all individual and joint testing methods show that the stock prices in sample countries do not follow the random walk. These findings indicate intertemporal predictability that relates with investors’ astute. This study recommends investors to focus more to capture risk-adjusted abnormal returns and to devise their trading strategies accordingly.

Thus, knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of elderly diabetic patients play an essential role in controlling the disease and its complications. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 176 diabetic patients at the outpatient clinics, National Geriatric Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam from August to November 2015. Patients’ knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding diabetes mellitus were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis and multivariate Tobit regression model were used to identify factors associated with knowledge, attitude, practice about diabetes mellitus. Results: Of 176 diabetic patients, patients’ knowledge was divided into two main groups: “Diabetes definition and management” (mean score = 57.7 ± 25.6) and “Targets for diabetic control” (mean score = 66.1 ± 30.4). Patients scored high points of attitudes toward diabetes severity and its complications (mean score = 95.8 ± 13.0); however, knowledge and practice scores were only moderate (mean score = 68.1 ± 16.8). There were only 8.5% of people having daily self-blood glucose monitoring. Advanced age, low educational level, rural area, and duration of diabetes less than 5 years were negative associated with knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding diabetes mellitus. This study also shows that frailty and comorbidities/diabetic complications could impair patients’ knowledge. Conclusion: Older patients with diabetes had high levels of perceived severity attitudes on diabetes mellitus. However, the knowledge and practice levels were still inadequate. Pragmatic diabetic health literacy, counseling and education programs, as well as homebased treatments are viable options to improve health outcomes.
The Effect of FeAl Substitution on the Crystal Structure of MgSiO 3 Bridgmanite

Ironand aluminum-bearing MgSiO3 bridgmanite, Brg, is most likely the predominant mineral of the Earth's lower mantle; hence its physical and chemical properties should account primarily for the seismic and transport properties of this region. Lower-mantle Brg is expected to accommodate a substantial amount of Fe and Al, which may vary between 0 and 0.40 atoms per formula unit (pfu) depending on the bulk rock composition (Hirose et al., 1999; Irifune & Ringwood, 1987; Irifune et al., 2010). At depths greater than 660 km, garnet, which is the main host for Al in the upper mantle and transition zone, transforms into Brg over a wide pressure interval, causing the Al2O3 content in pyrolitic Brg to increase from ∼1 to 4–5 wt. % over the first 50 km of the lower mantle (Frost, 2008; Irifune, 1994; Wood, 2000) and in subducted basaltic crust Abstract The crystal chemistry of ten well-characterized bridgmanite single-crystals with Fe and Al contents ranging from 0 to 0.40 atoms per two-cation formula units were investigated by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction. Structural refinements indicate that Fe and Al mainly occupy the Mg and Si sites, respectively, when present in similar proportions. Molar volumes of bridgmanite endmember components were refined using data from this and previous studies and found to decrease in the order FeFeO3 > MgFeO2.5 > FeAlO3 > MgAlO2.5 > AlAlO3 > FeSiO3 > MgSiO3. FeAlO3 chargecoupled substitution leads to an anisotropic increase of B-O bond distances, resulting in more distorted octahedral B sites and in a more significant increase of the c-axis with respect to the aand b-axes. Valence bond calculations indicate that the A site is more compressible than the B site for all bridgmanite samples studied, implying that octahedral tilting and distortion will dominate the bridgmanite compression mechanism. Guided by these crystal chemical observations, bulk moduli of bridgmanite endmember components were estimated using results of previous studies. The volume changes of equilibria controlling the speciation of bridgmanite components were then calculated at conditions relevant to the top of Earth's lower mantle. The proportion of oxygen vacancy components is predicted to decrease with pressure. While the stability of the bridgmanite FeAlO3 component will drive charge disproportionation to produce iron metal at the top of the lower mantle, this appears to be much less favorable by 50 GPa. An increase in the proportion of the FeFeO3 bridgmanite component, however, may favor the formation of iron metal at higher pressures.

University of Birmingham Interference from alkenes in chemiluminescent NOx measurements

Nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2) are critical intermediates in atmospheric chemistry and air pollution. NOx levels control the cycling and hence abundance of the primary atmospheric oxidants OH and NO3 and regulate the ozone production which results from the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight. They are also atmospheric pollutants, and NO2 is commonly included in air quality objectives and regulations. NOx levels also affect the production of the nitrate component of secondary aerosol particles and other pollutants, such as the lachrymator peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). The accurate measurement of NO and NO2 is therefore crucial for air quality monitoring and understanding atmospheric composition. The most commonly used approach for the measurement of NO is the chemiluminescent detection of electronically excited NO2 (NO∗2) formed from the NO+O3 reaction within the NOx analyser. Alkenes, ubiquitous in the atmosphere from biogenic and anthropogenic sources, also react with ozone to produce chemiluminescence and thus may contribute to the measured NOx signal. Their ozonolysis reaction may also be sufficiently rapid that their abundance in conventional instrument background cycles, which also utilises the reaction with ozone, differs from that in the measurement cycle such that the background subtraction is incomplete, and an interference effect results. This interference has been noted previously, and indeed, the effect has been used to measure both alkenes and ozone in the atmosphere. Here we report the results of a systematic investigation of the response of a selection of commercial NOx monitors to a series of alkenes. These NOx monitors range from systems used for routine air quality monitoring to atmospheric research instrumentation. The species-investigated range was from shortchain alkenes, such as ethene, to the biogenic monoterpenes. Experiments were performed in the European PHOtoREactor (EUPHORE) to ensure common calibration and samples for the monitors and to unequivocally confirm the alkene levels present (via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy – FTIR). The instrument interference responses ranged from negligible levels up to 11 %, depending upon the alkene present and conditions used (e.g. the presence of co-reactants and differing humidity). Such interferences may be of substantial importance for the interpretation of ambient NOx data, particularly for high VOC, low NOx environments such as forests or indoor environments where alkene abundance from personal care and cleaning products may be significant.

Study on acceptability and shelf life of salt-smoke- dried products prepared from two different species of sis kept at different storage condition

An investigation was conducted to determine the changes in sensory attributes, proximate composition analysis and microbiological components of Salt-smoke-dried (SSD) products prepared from two different SIS such as tengra (Mystus tengara) and batashi (Neotropius atherinoides) during storage at ambient (26-28C) and refrigeration (4C) temperature. Organoleptically, the quality of SSD products stored (60 days) at refrigeration temperature was better than stored at ambient temperature. During storage periods (60 days), the percentage of moisture increased whereas protein, fat, and ash content considerably decreased. After two month storage at ambient temperature the protein, lipid and ash content for SSD tengra and batashi were 62.75, 19.07 and 15.99%; and 65.0, 15.9 and 15.95%, respectively whereas the values of the same parameters stored at refrigeration temperature were 62.54, 19.54 and 16.12%; 65.03, 16.16 and 16.12%, respectively on dry matter basis. The TVB-N and SPC value reached to 18.21 mg/100g and 3.32×10 CFU /g; 17.94 mg/100g and 4.2×10 CFU/g, respectively for SSD tengra and batashi, stored at ambient condition which was found decreased for the products stored at refrigeration temperature. From the overall performance, the products kept at refrigeration temperature showed better perfectness and shelf life than the products stored at ambient temperature.
Anthropometric Assessment and its Association with Health Risk Factors in Overweight and Obese Schoolchildren

Overweight and obesity is the single major public health problem in Mexico, ranking first in the world with children ailing from this condition, the present study aims to anthropometrically evaluate schoolchildren between the ages of 10 and 12 and determinate some biochemical blood tests. In addition, to evaluate some anthropometrically parameters were used the percentiles from the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) grow charts system. The results showed 22 children with malnutrition, 74 being underweight, 248 having a healthy weight, 128 with overweight and 199 with obesity. Girls showed a body mass index (BMI) of 24.98 ± 0.43 and 24.28 ± 0.42 in boys. Measurement of waist circumference (WC) was 79.06 ± 1.76 for girls and 80.73 ± 1.39 for boys. This phenomenon was associated with high triglycerides levels (90129 mg/dl) and high Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) in girls, which could be risk factor for development to cardiovascular disease in adulthood.
The MeLTS audience response system: Student reception, benefits and usage

Background: This study presents the investigation of a web-based audience response system, Monash eLearning Tools System (MeLTS), in a first year engineering unit. The system was designed and built by two engineering students and trailed by approximately 230 students over the course of a semester. Given the increasing size of higher education classes, non-traditional methods are needed in order to engage students and provide an active learning environment. Current research has shown that, while there are some minor challenges to employing audience response systems, when used correctly, they have been effective at improving students' learning and their instructors' assessments in addition to the learning environment itself. Purpose: The purpose of this research was to monitor how first year engineering students respond to, use and benefit from the MeLTS web-based audience response system and compare these findings to other methods of engagement. Design/Method: In order to explore these questions, an online audience response system was developed as a webapp by two fourth year engineering students. This system was used over the course of a first year engineering unit to test students' understanding of lecture content with student answers being recorded over the duration of the semester. This data was analysed in conjunction with tutorial attendance, final unit scores and a student survey amongst other data. Results: There was a positive correlation between the MeLTS audience response system questions attempted and students' final scores for the unit. Survey responses suggested that the audience response system was well received by the students. It was found that smartphones were by far the most popular device students used to access the system, followed by tablets and then laptops. Conclusion: Students tended to use smartphones to access the web-app, they predominantly enjoy using audience response technology such as MeLTS and, given the correlation between audience response system question attempts and final unit scores, it appears that using audience response systems has a positive effect on student learning and increased student engagement. This agrees with current literature on the subject which states that, when used correctly, audience response systems are effective at increasing learning performance and are largely well received by students.
Effect of Pr substitution on the superconducting properties of (Pb0.5Cd0.5)SrLaCuOz

The effects of Pr substitution on the structural and the superconducting properties for Pb-based 1201 cuprates with compositions of (Pb0.5-xPrxCd0.5)SrLaCuOz ( 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) and (Pb0.45Pr0.05Cd0.5)(Sr1-yLa1+y)CuOz (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.1) were investigated. It is found that Tc decreases as the Pr-doping content x increases in the (Pb0.5-xPrxCd0.5)SrLaCuOz samples, whereas Tc of (Pb0.45Pr0.05Cd0.5) (Sr1-yLa1+y)CuOz samples increases as the La-doping content y increases. The experimental results were discussed in connection with the change in hole concentration of the samples.

EVALUATION OF IMMUNOBLOT RESULTS FOR DETERMINATION OF ANTIBODIES TO LYME DISEASE PATHOGENS IN CHILDREN OF TERNOPIL REGION

Background. Lyme disease (LD) is a multisystem disorder caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and other similar tick-borne Borrelia. Objective. The aim of the research was to compare the results of the serological examination of children with different forms of Lyme disease. Methods. We observed the group of children (n=178) aged 1 to 14 years who were bitten by ticks. The control group consisted of 30 healthy children. Ticks were identified using a stereomicroscopic SEO system which included a stereomicroscope, a colour digital camera and a photoadapter. B. burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) (B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzeliі and B. garinii), B. miyamotoi, A. phagocytophilum DNA in blood were determined by real-time PCR. Baseline investigations related to clinical and immunological studies, including ELISA and Immunoblot, were performed. Results. The survey covered 178 child parents bitten by ticks. Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. afzelii, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto and B. garinii), B. miyamotoi and A. phagocytophilum were identified. Serological results in children with different forms of Lyme disease were compared. Conclusions. It is established that B. burgdorferi sensu lato; B. miyamotoi; and A. phagocytophilum are pathogens that cause erythema migrans in children. The presence of specific IgG (only positive results) to B. burgdorferi s.l. by immunoblot was confirmed in 83.8% of individuals who had positive and intermediate results in the ELISA test.
