The Linear Diffractive Pulse Equation

Dedication It is our pleasure to dedicate this paper to Cathleen Morawetz who has been an inspiration to us in our lives and our research. We hope that the tie to asymptotics recalls her profound work with Ludwig on the justiication of geometric optics expansions in the exterior of convex obstacles LM], that the slightly nonstandard multipliers recall her brilliant use of the a,b,c method for problems of mixed type for example in M], and nally that the characteristic initial manifold recall her deep contributions to characteristic initial value problems of Tricomi type. Her work on exponential decay in exterior domains includes the crucial Morawetz multiplier and the rst proof of decay for nontrapping obstacles which remains one of our favorite results in modern analysis MRS]. Speaking for the many mathematicians who have turned to her for advice and guidance both personal and scientiic, we ooer our heartfelt thanks. Abstract The asymptotic description of short wavelength wavetrain solutions of constant coeecient linear hyperbolic partial diierential equations leads, for times of order 1, to amplitudes which satify the linear transport equation along rays. For linear phases and times of order 1== with wavelength O(), diiractive eeects become important and the amplitudes satisfy a linear Schrr odinger equation. The asymptotic description of pulse solutions involves the same linear transport equation for time of order one (see A], AR2], MR], Y1], Y2]). For times of order 1==, instead of a Schrr odinger equation, the amplitudes satisfy a partial diierential equation we call the Linear Diiractive Pulse Equation (LDPE) (see A], AR1]). Nonlinear analogues of all these results are known for solutions of the appropriate amplitudes. In this paper we examine in some detail the initial value problem for the LDPE. x1. Well posedness of the initial value problem. The linear diiractive pulse equation (LDPE) is the partial diierential equation 2u tx = y u ; := n X j=1 @ 2 @y 2 j : (1) We will show that it is a good evolution equation. A rst observation is that the plane ft = 0g is characteristic so there are null solutions, that is smooth nonzero solutions which vanish for t 0. In fact, u = f (t) is such a solution for any smooth nonzero f supported in 0; 1.

The Relationship Between Life Satisfaction and Hospitalizations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions: A Population Cohort Study

Life satisfaction (LS) is inversely related to morbidity and mortality while acute episodes for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) can be prevented with quality outpatient care. This population-based cohort study of Ontario adults tests the hypothesis that poor life satisfaction is associated with an increased risk of avoidable hospitalizations. Distributions of demographic, socioeconomic, health and behaviour characteristics were calculated while proportional hazards models were used to calculate the risk of preventable hospitalizations. Men, the elderly and lower SES individuals were more likely to be hospitalized. After controlling for suspect confounders, poor LS had a strong relationship with preventable hospitalizations (HR = 2.42, p < 0.0001). The joint effect of individuals who had the lowest levels of LS and SES were at an increased risk of being hospitalized (HR = 3.8, p < 0.0001). This study demonstrates that poor LS is associated with preventable hospitalizations and that this relationship is more severe for lower SES individuals.

1Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ, USA; 2Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ, 08903-0019, USA Abstract: Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis worldwide. Although gout has been known for antiquity, many challenges still exist in gout management. It is vital to view gout as a chronic disease and not just treat the acute flare. There is a perception of gout as an acute disease requiring treatment only for acute flares. However, to combat the disease, chronic uratelowering therapy, reducing the serum urate levels to below the saturation threshold of 6.8 mg/dL, and chronic anti-inflammatory prophylaxis, especially during urate-lowering therapy initiation, are needed. In this manuscript, we discuss some of the contentious issues in gout management. These include the timing of urate-lowering therapy initiation, which urate-lowering therapy to chose, should comorbidities influence our treatment, using genetic determinants, and patient perspectives to drive treatment and differences between gout treatment the American College of Physicians and Rheumatology guidelines for gout management: driving care.
Measurement and analysis of dust spatial distribution in a mechanically ventilated pig building

Dust has been implicated as a major contributor to the increased incidence of respiratory disorders among pig workers. Unlike gaseous contaminants, dust is not uniformly distributed within pig buildings. Dust spatial distribution is an important variable in the understanding of dust transportation and the implementation of appropriate control strategies. There is a lack of data on dust spatial distribution in livestock confinement buildings because of a lack of adequate sampling techniques. In this project, a multi-point sampler was used to measure the dust spatial distribution in a mechanically ventilated pig building. Experimental results show that there was a high variation in the dust spatial distribution within the mechanically ventilated pig building. Ventilation rate and diurnal change of weather affect the dust spatial distribution. It was shown that dust source control such as oil sprinkling at regular frequencies was an effective measure to control the dust levels. Room air cleaning such as dedusters can be used to reduce dust concentration and change dust spatial distribution.
ACEHNESE STUDENTS’ SKILLS IN PARAPHRASING ENGLISH TEXTS: A CASE STUDY AT TWO UNIVERSITIES ACEH

This qualitative study was conducted to investigate university students’ abilities to paraphrase English texts and to investigate the strategies used by students to help them to paraphrase. The population surveyed for this study consisted of 300 students from a private and a public university in Banda Aceh, while the sampling was drawn randomly, extracting 30 students as the respondents. The data were gathered using a written test, analyzed qualitatively and explained descriptively. The results of this study showed that the students still failed to properly paraphrase the English texts as we observed that the students’ works nearly copied most of the original sources. However, the use of some paraphrasing strategies was visible. The strategy mostly used was varying the structure and the least used were direct copying and combining sources. It is suggested that English writing instruction at any university provide more training on paraphrasing for the students. to participate in so called non-traditional sports. (3)-But just as importantly, men are struggling against a similar resistance. (4)- An example of this is when men participate on field hockey teams dominated by women, creating positive and negative implications to the game and also socially. (5)- However, individuals who make the move across gender boundaries in any sport are helping pave the way for equality in a sector of our society that is still bound to traditional sex roles.

1Department of Pharmacy, School of Medicine and Surgery, University of Naples “Federico II”, Naples, 80131, Italy; 2Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples “Federico II”, Naples, 80126, Italy Introduction: Melanocytes are engaged in synthesis, transport, and release of pigments at the epidermal-melanin units in response to the finely regulated melanogenic pathway. A multifaceted combination of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors – from endocrine and paracrine dynamics to exogenous stimuli such as sunlight and xenobiotics – modulates expression and activity of proteins involved in pigmentation, including the rate-limiting enzyme tyrosinase. As well as playing critical physiological functions comprising skin photoprotection, melanins define hair and skin pigmentation which in turn have impacted considerably to human social communication since time immemorial. Additionally, numerous skin diseases based on pigmentation alterations can have serious public influence. While several melanogenesis inhibitors are already available, the number of melanin activators and tyrosinase stimulators as drug-like agents is still limited. Methods: To explore the biological effects of an Annurca Apple-based nutraceutical preparation (AMS) on melanin production, experiments in cellular models of human skin were performed. Both primary cultures and co-cultures of epidermal melanocytes (HEMa) and follicular keratinocytes (HHFK) were used. Results: We show that AMS, by now branded for its cutaneous beneficial effects, induces in total biocompatibility a significant promelanogenic effect in human primary melanocytes. In line, we found melanin cytosolic accumulation consistent with tyrosinase up-regulation. Conclusion: Disposal of skin pigmenting agents would be attractive for the treatment of hypopigmentation disorders, to postpone skin photoaging or simply for fashion, so that discovery and development of melanogenesis stimulators, especially from natural sources, is nowadays a dynamic area of research.

Bag of Patterns Representation Technique of Constructed Detection Temporal Patterns for Particular Climatic Time Series

: Pattern detection is one of the critical problems in time series analysis which try to detection subsequences of time series for the analysis patterns and trends of time series. In this paper, a proposed method to detect benefit patterns to identify the unusual or suddenly events from large historical time series data. The proposed insight by analysing univariate time series based on a histogram-based representation for weather data using Bag of Pattern representation (BoP) that is commonly applied by the information retrieval communities and text mining. Our approach first segments a time series into subsequences using a sliding windows approach and then converts the local segments into symbolic representation considered as patterns by using Symbolic Aggregate Approximation (SAX). Finally, the obtained patterns are represented by BoP representation which may be provided to group in terms of domain experts or statistical features to identify each pattern. The presented experiments on 35 years of Malaysia weather data. In this context, we will select these data to show the benefit and correlation between the variables, which consider for rainfall and river flow data for trying to make prediction of future river flow values. The datasets are also in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The BoP is proved to be more efficient in reserving the trends of time series which identify suddenly changes, repeated or unrepeated patterns on weather time series.

Large cardiovascular outcome trials have reported favorable effects of sodium‐glucose co‐ transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on heart failure. To study the potential mechanism of the SGLT2 inhibition in heart failure, we used the murine doxorubicin‐induced cardiomyopathy model and identified the toll‐like receptor 9 (TLR9), NAD‐dependent deacetylase sirtuin‐3 (SIRT3), and Beclin 1, acting in a complex together in response to empagliflozin treatment. The interactions and implications in mitochondrial function were evaluated with TLR9 deficient, SIRT3 deficient, Beclin 1 haplodeficient, and autophagy reporter mice and confirmed in a patient with SIRT3 point mutation and reduced enzymatic activity. The SGLT2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, protects the heart from doxorubicin cardiomyopathy in mice, by acting through a novel Beclin 1‐toll‐like receptor (TLR) 9‐sirtuin‐(SIRT) 3 axis. TLR9 and SIRT3 were both essential for the protective effects of empagliflozin. The dilated cardiomyopathy patient with SIRT3 point mutation and reduced enzymatic activity is associated with reduced TLR9 activation and the absence of mitochondrial responses in the heart after the SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. Our data indicate a dynamic communication between autophagy and Beclin 1‐TLR9‐SIRT3 complexes in the mitochondria in response to empagliflozin that may serve as a potential treatment strategy for heart failure.
Improving children's mismatched ASR through adaptive pitch compensation

With the progress made in the speech processing over the last few decades, an increasing number of user applications employing automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are being developed. In such human-machine interaction (HMI) applications, the ASR system is often accessed by both the adults and the children. It is well known that the ASR systems trained on the adults’ speech exhibit a severely degraded recognition performance when used for transcribing the speech data from the child speakers and vice-versa. One of the ways to achieve good ASR performance for both the adults and the children is to pool a large amount of data from both the group of speakers in the training of the system. The scarcity of the children’s speech corpus makes this approach infeasible. On the other hand, pooling a limited amount of children’s data with the adults’ training set is not found to be very effective. Consequently, this thesis explores the possibility of achieving improved recognition performance for the children’s speech on adults’ speech trained ASR systems. To enhance the performance of the children’s mismatched ASR, the thesis begins with an exploration of some of the existing adaptation/normalization techniques. Despite the observed improvements with the application of the existing approaches, a large gap still remains between the adults’ matched and children’s mismatched testing cases. This gap in the performance is attributed to the severe mismatch in the acoustic and the linguistic correlates for the adults’ and the children’s speech. Among the various sources of mismatch identified in literature, the differences in the size of the vocal organs and the pitch (fundamental frequency) are known to be the most dominant ones. The frequency-warping-based vocal tract length normalization (VTLN) approach is already noted to be very effective in mitigating the ill effects of the differences in the vocal tract dimensions. Therefore, we have tried to analyze the cause and the extent of the pitch-induced mismatch between adults and children in this work. Based on our analysis, we have devised techniques that target the pitch variation across the speakers.
The impact of intellectual capital on SMEs ’ performance in China Empirical evidence from non-high-tech vs. high-tech SMEs

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore and compare the extent of intellectual capital (IC) and its four components in high-tech and non-high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in China ’ s manufacturing sector, and to examine the relationship between IC and the performance of high-tech and non-high-tech SMEs. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses the data of 116 high-tech SMEs and 380 non-high-tech SMEs listed on the Shenzhen stock exchanges during 2012 – 2016. The modified value added intellectual coefficient ( MVAIC ) model is used incorporating four components, namely, capital employed, human capital, structural capital and relational capital. Finally, multiple regression analysis is utilized to test the proposed research hypotheses. Findings – The findings of this paper reveal that there is significant difference in MVAIC between high-tech and non-high-tech SMEs. The results further indicate a positive relationship between IC and financial performance of high-tech and non-high-tech SMEs. Specifically, IC is positively associated with firms ’ earnings, profitability and operating efficiency. Additionally, capital employed efficiency, human capital efficiency and structural capital efficiency are found to be the most influential value drivers for the performance of two types of SMEs while relational capital efficiency possesses less importance. Practical implications – This paper will provide a valuable framework for executives, managers and policy makers in managing IC within the Chinese context. Originality/value – To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first empirical study that has been conducted on high-tech and non-high-tech SMEs in the manufacturing sector in China.
N  -Irradiation Effect on The Composition and Quality of Screw Pressed Nigella sativa (Black Cumin) Crude Oil during Storage

IGELLA sativa (black cumin) seeds were γ-irradiated with …… 10kGy, according to commercial practices, then screw pressed to extract the crude oil. The effect of γ-irradiation on the composition of the oil in terms of content, fatty acid composition, free fatty acids and total phenolics was studied. The effect of γ-irradiation on the quality of the oil during storage was also evaluated by monitoring the storage stability for a period of 280 days at ambient temperature (25°C) and in refrigerator (4°C). Results showed that γ-irradiation at 10 kGy increased the crude oil content from 32.7 % to 34.5%, total phenolics from 6.93 to 102.17 (mg GAE /g oil), and free fatty acids from 3.4 to 4.13 %. γ-Irradiation caused an increase in total saturated fatty acids from 20.40% to 21.45 %, accompanied by a significant decrease in total unsaturated fatty acids from 79.55 to 78.55%. The results also showed that exposing Nigella seeds to γ-irradiation at a dose of 10 kGy can affect the oxidative stability of the resulting oil during storage especially at room temperature. The storage stability of the crude oil can be enhanced by storing Nigella oil at 4°C. This data is relevant to dietary supplement industries for keeping the quality of crude Nigella oil by re-considering the dose of γ-irradiation applied for sanitizing the seeds.
ug 1998 Poisoning of Hydrogen Dissociation at Pd (100) by Adsorbed Sulfur Studied by ab initio Quantum Dynamics and ab initio Molecular Dynamics

We report calculations of the dissociative adsorption of H 2 at Pd (100) covered with 1/4 monolayer of sulfur using quantum dynamics as well as molecular dynamics and taking all six degrees of freedom of the two H atoms fully into account. The ab initio potential-energy surface (PES) is found to be very strongly corrugated. In particular we discuss the inﬂu-ence of tunneling, zero-point vibrations, localization of the nuclei’s wave function when narrow valleys of the PES are passed, steering of the approaching H 2 molecules towards low energy barrier conﬁgurations, and the time scales of the center of mass motion and the other degrees of freedom. Several “es-tablished” concepts, which were derived from low-dimensional dynamical studies, are shown to be not valid.
