An Evaluation of the Leadership Role Played by the Head of School in the Delivery of Quality Education in Zimbabwean Day Secondary Schools: A Case Study of Zvishavane in Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe, prior to independence, one of the major grievances of African Rhodesians was that, secondary schooling was harshly restricted by a selection process at Grade 7 (Robins and Coulter 2012). Thus, in 1976 when 70% of children were able to attend primary school, only 23% of Grade 7 pupils could proceed to secondary (Zvobgo 1986). The new government made an early decision and in mid-year announced that from January 1981 every child who finished Grade 7 could automatically proceed to Form 1, regardless of examination results (Kanyenze et.al 2011). Places would be available for all. From 22,201 in 1980 the Form 1 intake nearly quadrupled in 1981 to 83,491 (Chivore 1996). With this policy being continued from year to year, by 1986 the secondary school population surged to over half a million (Smith 1986).
Primjena kognitivne terapije usredotočene svjesnosti usmjerene na stres sa službenicima zatvorskog sustava

Službenici zatvorskog sustava izloženi su visokim razinama stresa, što dugoročno može rezultirati razvojem psihičkih smetnji i smanjenom radnom učinkovitošću. Stoga je važno razvijati preventivne programe te istraživati njihovu učinkovitost, ali i prihvatljivost službenicima jer je riječ o populaciji koja nerado priznaje poteškoće. Programi zasnovani na usredotočenoj svjesnosti (engl. mindfulness) pokazali su se korisnima u radu s različitim populacijama korisnika. Ciljevi ovog rada bili su: istražiti prihvatljivost, prikladnost, kvalitetu, obuhvat ciljne skupine te ishode primjene tečaja kognitivne terapije usredotočene svjesnosti usmjerene na stres sa zatvorskim službenicima. Službenici (N = 36) iz četiriju kaznenih tijela u Hrvatskoj sudjelovali su na osam dvosatnih grupnih radionica tijekom dva mjeseca. Prije tečaja, neposredno nakon tečaja te dva mjeseca nakon tečaja primijenjeni su upitnici koji mjere dimenzije mindfulnessa, psihopatološka odstupanja te stres i sagorijevanje. Nakon završetka tečaja ispitani su različiti aspekti kvalitete implementacije tečaja. Rezultati su pokazali da su službenici bili visoko uključeni u tečaj, zadovoljni tečajem i da su ga procjenjivali korisnim. Nakon završetka tečaja izvještavali su da više opažaju te manje prosuđuju i automatski reagiraju na svoja iskustva (dimenzije mindfulnessa), o manje problema i simptoma, većoj dobrobiti i funkcioniranju te manjim razinama stresa i sagorijevanja. Sve promjene održale su se i u naknadnom praćenju.
Hybrid lithography for triple patterning decomposition and E-beam lithography

As we advances into 14/10nm technology node, single patterning technology is far from enough to fabricate the features with shrinking feature size. According to International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors in 2011,1 double patterning lithography is already available for massive productions in industry for sub-32nm half pitch technology node. For 14/10nm technology node, double patterning begins to show its limitations as it uses too many stitches to resolve the native coloring conflicts. Stitches will increase the manufacturing cost, lead to potential functional errors of the chip, and cause the yield lost. Triple patterning lithography and E-Beam lithography are two emerging techniques to beat the diffraction limit for current optical lithography system. In this paper, we investigate combining the merits of triple patterning lithography and E-Beam lithography for standard cell based designs. We devise an approach to compute a stitch free decomposition with the optimal number of E-Beam shots for row structure layout. The approach is expected to highlight the necessity and advantages of using hybrid lithography for advanced technology node.
Life cycle cost comparison of highways with perpetual and conventional pavements

Introduction of perpetual pavement in the late 1990s provided the possibility of constructing a pavement with higher initial investment expenditure but lower maintenance and user costs. Life cycle cost (LCC) of a facility is the sum of all one-time and recurring costs over the full life span of that facility. As for highways, it includes agency costs (initial construction and maintenance costs), user costs (vehicle operation and time value costs), social costs (environmental costs) and salvage value at the end of pavement design life which is considered as a negative cost. This study compares the LCC of highways with conventional and perpetual pavements to figure out which system is economically preferred in various traffic and weather conditions for Iranian highways. Results of the study show that perpetual pavement construction can save LCC of pavements in the range of 4–20%.
ESTIMATES OF VARIANCE COMPONENTS AND HERITABILITIES OF PRE-WEANING GROWTH TRAITS OF ANGLO-NUBIAN AND BALADI KIDS

SUMMARY Data relevant to 573 Anglo-Nubian and 318 Baladi kids born at Alexandria University Experimental Station between 1997-2014 were utilized in this investigation to estimate variance components and heritabilities of birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and average daily gain (ADG). In addition, effects of season and year of birth, sex of kid, type of birth and parity on the previous studied traits were investigated. The least squares analysis with unequal subclass numbers showed that the overall means of BW, WW and ADG of Anglo-Nubian kids were 2.55 kg, 13.18 kg and 87.14 g, respectively, whereas they were for Baladi kids 2.25 kg, 10.19 kg and 64.74 g, respectively. On the other hand, the statistical analyses showed that fixed effects on all studied traits were generally significant (P<0.01or P<0.05), except for effects of season of birth on BW of Baladi and WW of Anglo-Nubian kids, and effects of parity on WW and ADG of Baladi breed. Estimates of the direct heritability (h 2a ) and maternal heritability (h 2m ) ranged from 0.36-0.58 and 0.05-0.30, from 0.01-0.38 and 0-0.18 and from 0.08-0.46 and 0-0.17 for BW, WW and ADG of Anglo-Nubian kids, respectively. The corresponding values for Baladi Kids ranged from 0.26-0.45 and 0.12-0.29, from 0.28-0.39 and 0.03-0.19 and from 0.21-0.31 and 0.03-0.18, respectively. Furthermore, estimates of the total heritability (h 2t ) were moderate to high for BW in both breeds, and low to moderate for WW and ADG of Anglo-Nubian, and moderate for WW and ADG of Baladi breed. Estimates of the total maternal effects (t m ) were considerable for all the studied traits of both breeds. The results in general showed that maternal effects were significant source of variation for pre-weaning growth traits of Anglo-Nubian and Baladi kids. Therefore, these effects should be taken into consideration when carrying out genetic evaluations of pre-weaning growth traits of both Anglo-Nubian and Baladi kids in their herd.
Positive association and future perspectives of mitochondrial DNA copy number and telomere length – a pilot twin study

Introduction Recent experimental and population studies have highlighted the existence of telomere-mitochondria interplay. Besides studies revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying the associations of telomere defects and mitochondrial functions, investigations of mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) and telomere length (TL) in healthy and disease phenotypes have likewise begun, with the aim of gaining more insights about their relationship in humans. Material and methods A total of 142 asymptomatic adult twins, comprising 96 monozygotic (MZ) and 46 dizygotic (DZ) twins (mean age: 50.54 ±15.43 years), members of the Hungarian Twin Registry, were included in the analysis. Applying the qPCR standard curve method, we investigated the relationship of mtDNA copy number, telomere length and clinical data, besides assessing co-twin similarities of MZ and DZ twins for their mtDNAcn and TL measures. Results We found that twins were similar in their intraclass correlation coefficients irrespective of zygosity, suggesting a possibly more important role of common (shared) environmental factors compared to non-shared (unique) environmental and to a smaller degree also individual genetic influences. We confirmed a significant positive association between mtDNAcn and TL (r = 0.28, p < 0.01) in age- and sex-corrected analysis. Following bivariate estimates and correction with significant predictors, the independent positive associations were further verified. Conclusions Our results extend the until now modest number of studies investigating mtDNAcn and TL simultaneously in humans. In addition, we are the first to examine the relationship between mtDNAcn and telomere length in MZ and DZ twin subjects.

Ultimate Load Test of Slab‐on‐Girder Bridge

An ultimate load test on a short-span simply supported bridge having six rolled-steel girders and a noncomposite deck slab is described. The main conclusions drawn from the test are as follows: (1) The bearing restraint forces reduced the bending moment at midspan by a minimum of 11%; (2) the transverse load distribution pattern of the bridge improves by a relatively small margin as the ultimate limit state is approached; (3) any composite action between the deck slab and a girder that may exist at service loads, and is due only to bond or friction between steel and concrete, completely breaks down as the load approaches the failure load for the girder; and (4) a girder continues to carry loads long after the formation of first yield.
Nutritional comparison between dried and ensiled indigofera, papaya and moringa leaves

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate chemical composition, in vitro fermentation and digestibility of dried and ensiled indigofera, papaya and moringa leaves. The leaves were subjected to artificial drying in an oven at 60oC for 24 h and ensiling treatment for 30 d under room temperature. Dried and ensiled samples were determined for chemical composition, silage fermentation characteristics and in vitro rumen fermentation and digestibility. The experimental design was a factorial design 3 × 2 in which the first factor was different leaves (indigofera, papaya and moringa) and the second factor was conservation treatments (drying and ensiling). Determination of chemical composition was performed in duplicate whereas in vitro evaluation was conducted in three replicates. Results showed that ensiling treatment decreased CP contents of indigofera and moringa but not papaya leaves. Ensiling also decreased NDF and NDICP contents of all experimental leaves in comparison to drying treatment. The pH of all silages was high and they were characterized with high ammonia concentrations. Ensiled indigofera tended to have lower IVDMD and IVOMD as compared to dried indigofera (P<0.1). It can be concluded that ensiling of high protein forages leads to considerable extent of proteolysis.

Head kinematics, neck loads, and injuries in side impact sled tests

This study determined temporal forces and moments at the upper and lower necks from eight post mortem human subject (PMHS) side impact sled tests under different initial conditions: change in velocities of 8.7 to 17.9 m/s, and restraints including three-point belt and fully restrained torso. Anthropometrical data and x-rays were obtained, and the specimens were subjected once to left lateral impact. Injuries were identified based on the 1990 version of the Abbreviated Injury Scale using pre- and posttest x-rays and computed tomography. Trauma severities ranged from AIS 0 to 3, depending on impact velocity and restraint condition. Axial and shear forces and lateral moment data are presented for each condition, as they are deemed to be the likely injury metrics for characterizing head-neck biomechanics in side impacts. Results from these PMHS tests serve as a fundamental dataset to establish tolerance for safety engineering purposes in motor vehicle and aviation environments, assess the performance of side-facing aircraft seats, and evaluate the performance and biofidelity of federalized and prototype side impact dummies.

Improvement of Pump Performance at Off-Design Conditions

Industrial pumps are generally used in a wide range of operating conditions from almost zero mass flow to mass flows larger than the design value.It has been often noted that the head-mass flow characteristic, at constant speed, presents a negative bump as the mass flow is somewhat smaller than the design mass flows.Flow and mechanical instabilities appear, which are unsafe for the facility.An experimental study has been undertaken in order to analyze and if possible to palliate these difficulties. A detailed flow analyzis has shown strong three dimensional effects and flow separations.From this better knowledge of the flow field, a particular device was designed and a strong attenuation of the negative bump was obtained.Copyright © 1985 by ASME
7.1.3 The story of Verdal – how one intelligent community uses systems engineering to enable sustainable development

Verdal is a small community in mid‐northern Norway, with a culturally significant historical tradition dating back to 1030. The town has reinvented itself to keep abreast of changing times; moving from an agriculturally based economy to an industrial region. The changes have been mostly evolutionary and unscripted until 1999 when a downturn in the business of the largest employer threatened the welfare of the entire community. Today, Verdal is one of the most stable and admired communities in Norway. To remain that way, they are embarking on a new initiative using systems engineering to ensure sustainable growth. This is their story.
Railway infrastructure damage detection using wavelet transformed acceleration response of traversing vehicle

This paper proposes the use of vertical accelerations of a moving train to detect local track irregularities produced by weaker sections of the infrastructure. By analysing the vehicle accelerations using the wavelet transform, it is possible to clearly identify the location of damaged sections. A wavelet‐based indicator is proposed to facilitate an algorithm for recognition of deteriorated segments. The proposed indicator is validated by means of a 2‐DOF vehicle model excited by randomly generated track irregularities together with the presence of various local track defects. A Monte Carlo analysis is performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed indicator for a variety of model parameters, including vehicle mechanical properties, shape of isolated track irregularities and levels of damage.

The impact of adjuvant radiotherapy on molecular prognostic markers in gliomas

Purpose Changes in MGMT promoter methylation, IDH1 and IDH2 mutation, and 1p/19q co-deletion status in gliomas between first and subsequent resections and their associated clinical factors are poorly described. In this study, we assayed these biomarkers in the clinical setting. Patients and methods We used multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification to measure MGMT promoter methylation, IDH mutation status, and 1p/19q co-deletion in 45 paired tumor samples from patients undergoing resection and subsequent re-resections for gliomas. Results Molecular changes were present in 20 patients (44%). At least one molecular characteristic changed over time in 89% of patients with primary grade III tumors. Gliomas with IDH wild-type and/or non-co-deleted were stable, but IDH1/2 mutation and/or co-deletion were sometimes lost at the time of recurrence. In a multivariate analysis, adjuvant radiotherapy alone was independently associated (P=0.02) with changes in molecular profile. Conclusion Molecular biomarkers change in gliomas during the course of the disease, most often MGMT methylation status. These changes in genetic profiles are related to adjuvant treatment with radiotherapy alone, which might be important for individualized treatment planning over the disease course.
Parasitic copepods (Crustacea, Hexanauplia) on fishes from the lagoon flats of Palmyra Atoll, Central Pacific

Abstract We surveyed copepods parasitic on the fishes at Palmyra, a remote atoll in the Central Indo-Pacific faunal region. In total, we collected 849 individual fish, representing 44 species, from the intertidal lagoon flats at Palmyra and recovered 17 parasitic copepod species. The parasitic copepods were: Orbitacolaxwilliamsi on Mulloidichthysflavolineatus; Anuretesserratus on Acanthurusxanthopterus; Caligusconfusus on Carangoidesferdau, Carangoidesorthogrammus, Caranxignobilis, Caranxmelampygus, and Caranxpapuensis; Caliguskapuhili on Chaetodonauriga and Chaetodonlunula; Caliguslaticaudus on Rhinecanthusaculeatus, Pseudobalistesflavimarginatus, M.flavolineatus, Upeneustaeniopterus, Chrysipteraglauca, and Epinephalusmerra; Caligusmutabilis on Lutjanusfulvus and Lutjanusmonostigma; Caligusrandalli on C.ignobilis; Caligus sp. on L.fulvus; Caritusserratus on Chanoschanos; Lepeophtheiruslewisi on A.xanthopterus; Lepeophtheirusuluus on C.ignobilis; Dissonussimilis on Arothronhispidus; Nemesis sp. on Carcharhinusmelanopterus; Hatschekialongiabdominalis on A.hispidus; Hatschekiabicaudata on Chaetodonauriga and Chaetodonlunula; Kroyerialongicauda on C.melanopterus and Lernanthropus sp. on Kyphosuscinerascens. All copepod species reported here have been previously reported from the Indo-Pacific but represent new geographical records for Palmyra, demonstrating large-scale parasite dispersion strategies.
