Determination of Relationships of Nurses’ Professional Commitment to Organizational, Work and Family Commitment by Structural Equation Model

The commitment forms of individuals regarding their private and work lives have been subject to various researches in an independent or interactive way. In this study, a model has been developed and tested for defining the relationship between the nurses’ professional commitment and organizational, work and family commitment. The study was conducted with the nurses employed in 7 state hospitals with 500 or over bed capacity and 3 medicine faculties under the body of Ankara Ministry of Health through questionnaires. 355 nurses were chosen via proportional distribution method in stratified sampling. The relationship between work commitment scale and continuance commitment part of the organizational commitment scale and the relationship between family commitment scale and professional commitment scale are not significant. Except for the correlation between professional commitment scale and affective commitment part of the organizational commitment scale, the correlations are quite weak.
Genetic relationship between clinical mastitis and several traits of interest in Spanish Holstein dairy cattle

Genetic parameters of clinical mastitis (CM) and number of cases of mastitis (NCM) per lactation, as well as the association with five production traits, nine type traits, and four functional traits have been estimated using linear models in a population of 9,179 Spanish Holstein cows with 17,666 lactations. Estimated heritability for mastitis traits was 0.04-0.05 and the genetic correlation between them was 0.93. The genetic correlation between lactation somatic cell score (LSCS) and CM and NCM was 0.85 and 0.76, respectively, meaning that LSCS is not representing exactly mastitis infections. There was an unfavorable genetic correlation between production traits, days open, LSCS and mastitis, while a shallow and well attached udder helps reducing mastitis events. Thus, it is recommended to include clinical mastitis in the breeding goal and the most correlated traits in an udder health index in order to achieve the maximum mastitis resistance.
Thoughts on Geological Uncertainty Assessment in Integrated Reservoir Modeling

Geological uncertainty assessment is most often addressed by considering several geostatistical realizations on some given reservoir grid, and/or by perturbing the geometry of that grid under some hypotheses. These grid-focused approaches are practical but make it difficult to address two major types of geological uncertainties: conceptual uncertainty which can be critical in green field studies, and topological uncertainty which can be important even for mature fields. I argue that these high-level types of geological uncertainties can be better addressed by working directly with geological parameters. Several challenges exist in this type of approach, both educational (changing the way interpreters work) and technical (formalizing geological concepts and defining robust gridding and discretization methods). However, the main benefit of this vision is to provide descriptions of static geological uncertainties which are explicitly compatible with interpretation concepts and data. This strategy is most useful for generating a large set of models which would be considered as discrete scenarios with classical methods and it clears the path for joint inversion and assimilation of reservoir monitoring data.

In this research the active suspension system of railway wheelset system is presented. The purpose of this research is to design active suspension system for a solidaxle railway vehicle using linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method. The objective of Linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is to minimize the lateral displacement and its yaw angle of the wheelsets. This method to improve the performance of the vehicle in terms its lateral displacement and yaw angle when the vehicle moves on a straight and curve tracks. Performance of this system has been compared with the passive suspension system. The input to the system is track irregularities, the radius curve with 1500m and angle with 7°. The results show that the curving performance in active suspension system is better than passive suspension system. System has been implement by performing computer simulations using the MATLAB and SIMULINK toolbox.
Do Engineered Nanoparticles Penetrate into Cells

Volume 4 • Issue 5 • 1000e132 J Nanomed Nanotechnol ISSN: 2157-7439 JNMNT, an open access journal Understanding the mechanism of engineered nanoparticle (ENP) uptake by cells is important for various biomedical applications including biosensors, imaging, intracellular drug and gene delivery, and toxicity studies [1-3]. This editorial presents a short summary and perspective on the cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles and the mechanisms that govern them. Gold Nanoparticles (GNPs) have been proposed for use in practically all biomedical applications because of the ease in synthesis, chemical stability, and their unique optical and electrical properties [4]. But, spontaneous penetration of functionalized cationic GNPs have shown cell membrane disruption and cytotoxicity, thus limiting their utility [5]. However, recent literature has shown that GNPs (5nm diameter with “special” surface chemistries or arrangements) protected by an amphiphilic monolayer can nondisruptively penetrate the cell membrane to deliver drugs, nutrients or biosensors [6]. Even with endocytosis arrested, this penetration via an energy independent mechanism do not damage or rupture cell membrane [7]. The underlying mechanism of how GNPs can nondisruptively penetrate cell membranes has largely been unknown [8]. Recently, Van Lehn et al. [9] demonstrated that the penetration process consists of multiple steps – (a) first the anionic, striped GNPs will fuse with the cell membrane in a non-disruptive transmembrane configuration, (b) then the GNPs may translocate into the cell interiors. This process is dependent among others on particle size, monolayer composition, and ligand morphology.
METAL ION DETECTION OF NOVEL CONJUGATED-POLYMER SENSOR FIBERS FABRICATED WITH 3-D HYDRODYNAMIC FOCUSING

We propose a novel method to detect metal ions by using polydiacetylene (PDA)-embedded sensor microfibers fabricated with a 3-D hydrodynamic focusing technique. PDA, conjugated polymer, has a unique optical property to transform its color from visible blue to fluorescent red by metal ions. Previously we developed microfluidic PDA sensor systems by applying 2-D hydrodynamic focusing techniques. Now we use 3-D hydrodynamic focusing technique to fabricate PDA hydrogel microfibers to detect Al 3+ and Zn 2+ ions.
CFD simulation of the hydrodynamics and reaction kinetics of chemical looping combustion process in a fuel reactor

A typical CLC unit consists of a circulating fluidised bed as the air reactor and a bubbling fluidised bed as the fuel reactor. A number of studies on the hydrodynamics behaviours of the CLC process in fuel reactor have been documented in the open literature and some are focused on numerical modelling of dynamic processes in the fuel reactors but 3D numerical modelling of the multiphase flow coupled with chemical reaction dynamics in the fuel reactor is still rarely undertaken. This paper aims to investigate the CLC process in a fuel reactor using the 3D-CFD modelling, coupled with the heterogeneous reactions, the hydrodynamics and reaction kinetics of the CLC process in the fuel reactor. A parameter used for relating the timedependent bubble occurance to the local eddies is proposed by correlating the local velocity fluctuation with the pressure fluctuation. The relation between the concentration of gaseous reactants or products and local vortices is also investigated. The results obtained clearly indicate that the CFD modelling conducted in the current study reasonably forecasts the hydrodynamic behaviours and important phenomena observed in the fuel reactor. The parameter correlating the bubble occurabce with local velocity fluctuation may be used in the CLC for controlling the bubbling phenomenon because the occurrence of the bubbles at specific positions is strongly associated with the locally embedded large eddies.
Intraday trading rules based on Self Organizing Maps

Working with five minutes data, we have studied a number of trading rules based on the responses of Kohonen's Self Organizing Maps, evaluating the results with both financial and statistical indicators, as well as by comparison with classical buy and hold strategy. At the current stage our major findings may be summarized as fol- lows: a) Kohonen's maps are helpful to localize profitable intraday patterns, and b) they generally make possible to achieve higher performances than common buy and hold strategy.
The European Employment Strategy in the Tempest: Restoring a Long-Term perspective

In the domain of employment and social policies, important changes have appeared since the turn of the century: Europe is exploring a new paradigm, “Social Investment” (SI), putting emphasis of the ability of everybody to accumulate skills and to find one’s way on the labour market. Jane Jenson (Jenson 2009) insists on the still controversial and quite diverse aspects of SI, and she worries about possible detrimental consequences of the present crisis on social spending, even on the fraction of it considered as an investment. Similarly, Giuliano Bonoli (Bonoli 2009) distinguishes various versions of social investment in the domain of Labour Market Policies (LMP): centered on protection (then the investment protects the work capacity), on investment strictly speaking (through training and placement policies), or on re-commodification (strengthening of work incentives). He too wonders about the possible business cycle dimension of such spending.
Variation in Students' Conceptions of Self-Assessment and Standards

This paper reports the results of a phenomenographic study on the different ways that secondary students understood and utilized student self-assessment and how various ego types could affect the accuracy of self-assessment. The study sought to contribute to the growing literature which recognizes the critical role that students play in assessment processes, and in particular the different roles that they assume in student self-assessment. The results of the study provide insights into how different students experience self-assessment by articulating the variation in the perception and purposes of assessing one's own learning. This variation is depicted as a hierarchy of logically related students' conceptions of self-assessment.

Then the Hadoop-HANA index and the hot-data methods are introduced to speed up the query execution on the proposed system, which makes the massive heterogeneous data process more efficient.
Description of the skeleton of the fossil beaked whale Messapicetus gregarius : searching potential proxies for deep-diving abilities

Abstract. Ziphiidae (beaked whales) are a successful family of medium- to large-sized toothed whales. Their extant members perform regular deep dives beyond the photic zone to forage for cephalopods and fish. Conversely, extinct long-snouted stem ziphiids are interpreted as epipelagic predators. However, some aspects of this hypothesis remain unclear due to the lack of clear morphological proxies for recognizing regular deep divers. We compared the forelimb, neck, and pterygoid sinus system of the fossil ziphiid Messapicetus gregarius with those of other odontocetes to evaluate the potential of these body regions as proxies to assess deep-diving specialization. The reconstructed musculature of the neck and forelimb of M. gregarius was also compared with that of other odontocetes. We also quantified variation in the proportions of the forelimb and the hamular fossa of the pterygoid sinus (HF) using 16 linear measurements. The degree of association between diving behaviour in extant odontocetes and these measurements was evaluated with and without phylogenetic correction. Reconstruction of the neck musculature suggests that M. gregarius possessed a neck more flexible than most extant ziphiids due to the lower degree of fusion of the cervical vertebrae and the large insertions for the M. longus colli and Mm. intertransversarii ventrales cervicis. While neck rigidity might be related to deep diving, differences in neck flexibility among extant ziphiids indicate a more complex functional interpretation. The relationship between forelimb morphology and diving behaviour was not significant, both with and without phylogenetic correction, suggesting that it cannot be used to assess deep-diving abilities with the parameters considered here. Measurements of the HF revealed successful to evaluate deep-diving abilities in odontocetes, with an enlargement of this structure in deep divers. Considering other evidence that suggests an epipelagic behaviour, we propose different scenarios to explain the observation of an enlarged HF in M. gregarius: (1) this species may have fed at different depths; (2) it performed deep dives to avoid potential predators; or (3) the enlarged HF and deep-diving habitat correspond to an ancestral condition, with M. gregarius returning to a more epipelagic habitat.
Effect of Irrigation Scheduling under some Biostimulants Foliar Application for Navel Orange Trees on some Water Relations, Productivity, Fruit Quality and Storability in the North Nile Delta Region

A field investigation was performed during the two successive growing seasons 2014/ 2015 and 2015/ 2016 at a private orchard, located at Brembal, Motobus district, Kafr ELSheikh Governorate, Egypt, on twenty years old Navel orange trees budded on Sour orange rootstock spaced at 6*6 metres apart to study the effect of irrigation scheduling at (0.0, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 of EP) under biostimulants foliar application on productivity, fruit quality, storability and some water relations for Navel orange trees.
Effect of glass on the frictional behavior of basalts at seismic slip rates

We performed 31 friction experiments on glassy basalts (GB) and glass‐free basalts (GFB) at slip rates up to 6.5 m s−1 and normal stress up to 40 MPa (seismic conditions). Frictional weakening was associated to bulk frictional melting and lubrication. The weakening distance (Dw) was about 3 times shorter in GB than in GFB, but the steady state friction was systematically higher in GB than in GFB. The shorter Dw in GB may be explained by the thermal softening occurring at the glass transition temperature (Tg ~500°C), which is lower than the bulk melting temperature (Tm ~1250°C) of GFB. Postexperiment microanalyses suggest that the larger crystal fraction measured in GB melts results in the higher steady state friction value compared to the GFB melts. The effect of interstitial glass is to facilitate frictional instability and rupture propagation in GB with respect to GFB.
AMethodology for Deriving Aggregate Social Tie Strengths fromMobility Traces

The degree of social connectedness of people in a location has a large impact on how that place functions, and often influences our decision whether or not to visit it. Similarly, knowledge of a location’s social connectedness could enable a variety of important applications, such as improved elderly care and socially aware smart phone applications. These and other applications would benefit from automatically discovering the social characteristics of the place they are in, but this information is not always obtainable. Previous studies have devised methods to infer the social tie strengths of visitors from information specific to certain communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi, but they cannot be used by devices that do not use these protocols. In this thesis, we propose a novel method to infer aggregate social tie strengths from device mobility data. The main benefit of this method is its general applicability, as it could be used by any application that has knowledge of devices entering and leaving the specified location. The method works by training a regressor on a subset of a large collection of mobility features and known social tie strengths. Then, this regressor predicts the social tie strengths for devices present in the location at a given moment in time, and outputs an aggregate score. In order to evaluate the method, we tested it on a real-world data set gathered by Wi-Fi sensors for several months. We found that the accuracy of the proposed method highly outperforms that of a state-of-the-art baseline methodology we based on a recent study. Additionally, we tested the proposed method on several modifications of the real-world data set, in order to simulate more difficult environments. On these data sets, too, the method maintains a high accuracy, signifying its robustness.
On the gradient set of Lipschitz maps

Abstract We prove that the essential range of the gradient of planar Lipschitz maps has a connected rank-one convex hull. As a corollary, in combination with the results in [Faraco, D. , and Székelyhidi, Jr., L. , Tartar's conjecture and localization of the quasiconvex hull in R2x2, Acta Math., to appear. ] we obtain a complete characterization of incompatible sets of gradients for planar maps in terms of rank-one convexity.
RUNNING HEAD: AFFINITY THROUGH IM Affinity Through Instant Messaging

The present manuscript explores affinity seeking, testing, and signaling in initial interactions of opposite-sex strangers using instant messaging. Sixty dyads (N = 120) interacted for 20 minutes and participants identified when they showed liking and when they perceived their partner showing liking in the interaction transcript. Participants also reported overall liking for and the perception of being liked by their conversation partner on a survey instrument. The results indicated that participants who perceived more liking in the text and accurately decoded messages of liking from their partner, believed their conversational partner liked them more. Participants who perceived more disliking messages in the text liked their conversational partners less and believed their partner liked them less as well. Six dyadic analyses using structural equation modeling demonstrated that effects of affinity seeking, testing, and signaling were moderated by participant sex. For females, sending messages of disliking, perceiving messages of disliking, and accurately decoding of disliking were associated with overall liking of their male conversational partner. The implications of interpreting affinity messages in the formation of online relationships are discussed.

Studies on Value Added Kinnow - Aonla Blended Ready to Serve Beverage

Aonla and Kinnow fruits are considered to be the rich source of ascorbic acid, pectin, citric acid, and minerals like calcium and phosphorous. This study aimed at formulation of Kinnow and Aonla mix beverage just to take advantage of both fruits which are nutritionally diverse and have synergetic effect when consume simultaneously with peculiar taste, flavor and aroma. Three levels of each Cardamom and Ginger were used as herbal additives and were compared with control. All the herbal treatments were found better in respect of TSS, pH, Acidity and ascorbic acid content over Control. Highest mean TSS (15.13 °Brix), pH (3.50) and ascorbic acid content (19.4 Per cent) were observed in T5 (ginger powder @100 gram/ lit.), All the sensory parameters were based on the overall acceptability which was dependent on Colour, Texture , Flavour and Taste was recorded highest (7.78 score) in T5 (ginger powder @100 gram/ lit.). Precisely, on the basis of results obtained it may be concluded that treatment T5(ginger powder @100 gram/ lit.) can be used in commercialization of Kinnow-Aonla RTS. Thestudies on compositional changes in value-added Kinnow-Aonla RTS revealed that there was increase in the level of TSS and pH during the storage period (six months). The blended RTS were analyzed for its different physicochemical as well as sensory quality and sensory quality evaluated by adopting 9 point hedonic scale. The overall results showed that combination of different herbs gave better results for taste that of without herbal combinations. The developed RTS could be recommended for the large scale production at industrial level.
Analytic solution for the critical state in superconducting elliptic films

A thin superconductor platelet with elliptic shape in a perpendicular magnetic field is considered. Using a method originally applied to circular disks, we obtain an approximate analytic solution for the two-dimensional critical state of this ellipse. In the limits of the circular disk and the long strip this solution is exact, i.e., the current density is constant in the region penetrated by flux. For ellipses with arbitrary axis ratio the obtained current density is constant to typically ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$, and the magnetic moment deviates by less than ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ from the exact value. This analytic solution is thus very accurate. In increasing applied magnetic field, the penetrating flux fronts are approximately concentric ellipses whose axis ratio $b/al~1$ decreases and shrinks to zero when the flux front reaches the center, the long axis staying finite in the fully penetrated state. Analytic expressions for these axes, the sheet current, the magnetic moment, and the perpendicular magnetic field are presented and discussed. This solution applies also to superconductors with anisotropic critical current if the anisotropy has a particular, rather realistic form.
New variables for classical and quantum gravity in all dimensions: IV. Matter coupling

We employ the techniques introduced in the companion papers (Bodendorfer et al 2011 arXiv:1105.3703 [gr-qc]; arXiv:1105.3704 [gr-qc]; arXiv:1105.3705 [gr-qc]) to derive a connection formulation of Lorentzian general relativity coupled to Dirac fermions in dimensions D + 1 ⩾ 3 with a compact gauge group. The technique that accomplishes that is similar to the one that has been introduced in 3 + 1 dimensions already. First one performs a canonical analysis of Lorentzian general relativity using the time gauge and then introduces an extension of the phase space analogous to the one employed in [1] to obtain a connection theory with SO(D + 1) as the internal gauge group subject to additional constraints. The success of this method rests heavily on the strong similarity of the Lorentzian and Euclidean Clifford algebras. A quantization of the Hamiltonian constraint is provided.
