A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS AND ITS RELATION WITH GRIT AMONG DOCTORAL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS

It is commonly observed that people who are consistent towards their goals and want to achieve them are commonly happy and satisfied with their lives because they are academically successful, paving the path for a lucrative future. These individuals tend to be happier and satisfied with their life as a whole. The present study was planned to assess the role of Pursuit of Happiness and its relation with Grit among Doctoral and College Students. It was hypothesized that, Orientations to Happiness viz. engagement and meaning would be positively correlated with Grit, but Orientations to Happiness viz. pleasure would be negatively correlated with Grit. For this purpose, 45 doctoral students and 55 college students were administered Orientations to Happiness Scale (Peterson, Park & Seligman, 2005) , and Short Grit Scale (Grit-S) (Duckworth & Quinn, 2009). Inter correlation analysis were computed. In addition to this, t-ratio was also calculated to understand the differences between Doctoral and College Students on Orientations to Happiness and Grit. Results revealed that Orientations to Happiness viz. engagement and meaning were positively correlated with Grit, but Orientations to Happiness viz. pleasure were negatively correlated with Grit. Significant differences were also found among Doctrol Students and College Students on Orientations to Happiness and Grit.
Surface proteins of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites binding to the erythrocyte receptor, glycophorin

Invasion of erythrocytes by the malarial parasite is a receptor- mediated process. P. falciparum merozoites recognize and bind to erythrocyte surface sialoglycoproteins, glycophorins A and B, and the glycophorins bind to saturable sites on the merozoite surface. The purpose of the present work was to identify a receptor or ligand molecule on the merozoite surface that mediates binding to the erythrocyte. A fraction containing the sialoglycoproteins was coupled to an acrylamide matrix and incubated with metabolically labeled merozoites. A merozoite protein of 155 kD that labeled prominently with [3H]glycine bound to glycophorin. A minor protein of 130 kD also bound. Both proteins are rich in proline and glycine, poor in methionine, and may be related. The proteins are also stable to heating to 100 degrees C for 10 min. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the 155 kD and 130 kD proteins are located on the merozoite surface coat. The antibodies significantly inhibited merozoite invasion into erythrocytes and also binding of the proteins to the glycophorin-matrix. The specific binding of the 155-kD and 130-kD proteins to the erythrocyte receptor and the demonstration that they are located on the merozoite surface suggest they could be receptor proteins that mediate binding of the merozoite to the erythrocyte surface.
ACTIVE-FLUX BASED OBSERVER FOR MOTION SENSORLESS CONTROL OF BIAXIAL EXCITATION GENERATOR/MOTOR FOR AUTOMOBILES (BEGA)

This paper proposes an active flux observer for motion-sensorless biaxial excitation generator for automobiles (BEGA) for wide speed operation. The active flux observer transforms BEGA, a salient-pole rotor ac machine, in a virtually non-salient pole machine model so that the rotor speed and position can be estimated in a simpler way. Simulations and experimental results are presented to verify the principles and to demonstrate the performance of the proposed observer. A rotor position and speed estimator, based on active flux estimation is proposed and tested. The performance (accuracy) of the observers has been tested with the drive system operated from very low speed down to 2 rpm, with full load and up to 2000rpm.
Panel Data Analysis on the Effect of Establishing the Enterprise Risk Management on Firms’ Performances

This study analyses financial performances of non-financial firms that have established enterprise risk management (ERM). Content analysis is used to collect the data of 74 firms with board-level risk management committee (RMC) and another control firms without board-level RMC. ERM establishment is measured by ERM index and firms’ performances are measured by ROE, ROA and Tobin’s Q. Data is analysed using the Panel Data Analysis with Stata13. Results show that both groups of firms had no significant relationship with their performances. The findings suggest that having a risk management committee at board-level does not make a firm to perform better than a firm without board-level RMC.
Microsatellite analysis of minke whales in the western North Pacific

The IWC Scientific Committee (SC) completed the RMP Implementation for the western North Pacific common minke whales during the 2003 Annual Meeting. At the final stage of the Implementation process, the SC adopted four stock scenarios (baselines A, B, C, and D) in the western North Pacific (IWC, 2004). The SC did not examine the plausibility of each scenario at all, however, because it was afraid that any conclusions would not have been accepted by all. Consequently, the SC rated all of the scenarios the same ‘high’ plausibility irrespective of available information for each hypothesis. This study examined the plausibility of these four stock baseline scenarios by analyzing samples of minke whales collected during JARPNII as well as JARPN conducted from 1994 to 2007 using 16 sets of hypervariable microsatellite DNA markers. The samples from 2003 to 2007 were not used during the previous Implementation process. In addition to their collection years, we further divided the samples by their sighting sites into 7W (140.01°E -147.00°E), 7E (147.01°E -150.00°E), 8W (150.01°E -153.00°E), 8E (153.01°E -157.00°E), 9W (157.01°E -162.00°E), and 9E (162.01°E -170.00°E). All of the samples were polymorphic for the 16 microsatellites analyzed, and the genetic diversity was high. We examined if there was any evidence of genetic differences between the coastal and offshore samples collected in the same year from the 7W, among the samples collected in the different years from the same sub-area, and among the samples divided and compared on the basis of proposed stock divisions from each of the four baseline scenarios with and without the suspected J stock individuals as well as with only the suspected O stock individuals. We found 1) whales from the J stock existed in the 7W with low but large enough number to cause genetic heterogeneity observed in the 7W samples as well as between the 7W and other samples, 2) except the J stock whales, the survey area was mainly occupied by O stock, and 3) the baselines C and D were not supported because no other genetically distinct coastal stock was observed.

The simulation &experimental results match very closely.
Malt Genotypic Screening of Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) of SSR Markers Based on Physiological Traits in Barley

Brewing genotypes were described by polymorphism information content (PIC) of 22 SSR markers in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), associated with malt quality. Notably, the values of diastatic power set ranged from 5.53 to 24.13 U/Kg in these samples, suitable to assess the relative importance of biochemical components of malt variations and genetic characteristics. Cluster analysis revealed a significant correlation between eco-geographic origin and SSR marker clustering, resolving the accessions into four subgroups. Moreover, SSRs with higher PIC values and higher average number of alleles per marker in the population with higher values of diastatic power were found to be an efficient utility for distinguishing brewing genotypes in barley. These results possibly indicated that SSRs linked to brewing traits could be very useful for application in monitoring malt traits, evaluating genetic diversity, and determining the sampled eco-geographic origins in barley. *Corresponding author: Gang Qian, Department of Cell Biology and Genetics, Zunyi Medical College, No. 201, Dalian Road, Zunyi city, Guizhou Provence, China.

When does public debt impair economic growth? A literature review in search of a theory

Beyond inconclusive empirical research, this paper examines the theoretical literature concerning public debt and economic growth finding no univocal and straightforward answer. No meaningful assessment of debt and its effect on growth at any point in time is possible without reference to the whole debt trajectory and the specific state of the economy along the trajectory. An orderly and consistent analysis may be developed along two coordinates of debt assessment: sustainability/ unsustainability, and efficiency/inefficiency. In our view, research should concentrate on the study of specific conditions and cases, and abandon the pursuit of a general law.
Selection of Resistant Forms to Drought in Species Lolium perenne L., in Mixtures for Lawns Based

Evaluation of drought tolerance of individual genotypes showed the existence of a significant genetic variability within populations / varieties. However, it was found that a mixture of varieties may have a different response on resistance to drought compared with the reaction of varieties that make up. (Sojka, 1984). Rapid regeneration ability of plants that occur after the rain after a long period of drought is often correlated with the ability ridcată production during droughts and is a character that can be easily determined (Abraham et al., 2004). Given that the focus is increasingly on improving areas of green spaces, to obtain new biological forms - varieties of the main species for turf grasses, with greater resistance to drought may be an increased objective of the research companies producing seed this way. Thus, the present paper, are presented research on drought response testing, a species of grasses, which represents the ideal partner for simple and complex mixtures of grass.
IDENTIFYING A NON-INVASIVE MEASURE OF BONE STATUS IN DAIRY CATTLE

The objectives of this research were to evaluate non-invasive measures of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) as rapid, on-farm tools to assess phosphorus (P) status in dairy cows. In addition, the effects of parity and stage of lactation on measures of BMC of the fused 3 and 4 metacarpal bone and of caudal vertebrae 14 and 15 were assessed. The caudal vertebrae and right front metacarpal (sample pairs) were excised from 107 Holstein cull cows following slaughter. Parity, age, and days in milk (DIM) of the donor animal were obtained for 43 pairs of samples. Samples were grouped by parity (1, 2, 3, and ≥ 4) and stage of lactation (Stage 1 = 90 and 150 and 250 DIM). Samples were analyzed for BMC and BMD with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), BMC with radiographic photometry (RP), breaking strength with mechanical methods, and mineral content with chemical procedures. Estimates of BMC obtained with RP and DXA were poorly related to chemical measures of actual BMC and to measures of breaking strength. In caudal vertebrae 14 and 15, increasing stage of lactation decreased energy to peak load with the lowest values observed in late lactation. Stage of lactation had no effect on BMC measured chemically in the caudal vertebrae or metacarpal. Parity did not affect breaking strength of the metacarpal or caudal vertebrae or total ash or P content of any bone. Results indicated that imaging techniques are not useful measures of BMC in mature dairy cattle.

The proposed approach employ tow algorithms, Fuzzy logic controller ( FLC) algorithm for nodal detection and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for optimal sizing capacitor of OPF combinatorial problem control variables. PSO method is more proficient in improving combinatory problem. The proposed approach has been examined and tested on the standard IEEE 57-bus test System with different objectives that reflect cost function minimization, voltage profile improvement, and voltage stability enhancement. The proposed approach results have been compared to those that reported in the literature recently. The results are promising and show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.

Economic dispatch of microgrid with the access of electric vehicles

In the economic dispatch model of microgrid, the battery of an accessed electric vehicle is treated as a kind of mobile distributed energy storage device. The power units in the microgrid system include photovoltaic array, wind turbine, diesel engine, micro turbine and electric vehicle. First, the generation characteristics and cost functions of each micro power generators are analyzed. Then, a power economic dispatch model considering the access of electric vehicles is proposed. The objection function of the model is to minimize the operating costs, including the depreciation costs of the batteries of electric vehicle. Finally, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to solve the optimization model. The results show that the proposed model can reduce the operating costs and promote the optimal operation of microgrid.

A Theoretical Concept of Compositional Nutrient

The premises underlying univariate (CVA = critical value approach) and bivariate (DRIS = diagnosis and recommendation integrated system) diagnostic systems were reexamined with regard to compositional data analy- sis (CDA). CDA recognizes a structure of dependence among plant nutrients, the bounded sum constraint to one (the whole composition equals 100% or 1), and removes the curvature problem carried by crude components and by dual ratios or logratios when treated in isolation. Linearization by "rowcentered logrationing" of nutrient fractions shows great potential for carrying multivariate diagnosis and principal component analysis on nutrient data. Compositional nutrient diagnosis (CND) is supported by the theory of CDA. CND is the multivariate expansion of CVA and DRIS and is fully compatible with PCA. CND takes all possible nutrient interactions into account. CND nutrient indices are composed of two separate functions, one considering differences between nutrient levels, another examining differences between nutrient balances (as defined by nutrient geometric means), of individual and target specimens. These functions indicate that nutrient insufficiency can be corrected by either adding a single nutrient or taking advantage of multiple nutrient interactions to improve nutrient balance as a whole. A theoretical interpretative table is presented for CND. Mineral composition of plant tissues, expressed as concen- trations or relative (ratio) values, forms the basic numerical information for diagnosing nutrient status in plants. Bates (1971) reported that the CVA to the interpretation of nutrient defi- ciency, sufficiency, or excess was affected to a large extent by nutrient interactions and plant age. DRIS was found to improve diagnosis as compared with CVA by taking into account dual interactions expressed as nutrient ratios (Walworth and Sumner, 1987). Inconsistency between CVA and DRIS has been reported (Alkoshab et al., 1988; Beverly, 1987a), but DRIS generally shows greater diagnostic efficiency (Walworth and Sumner, 1989). Beverly (1987a, 1987b) used the logarithmic transformation to improve data distribution of nutrient ratios from population data to generate DRIS norms. When dry matter values (DM) are identical over all nutrients components, i.e., in individual plant tissues, dual logratioing can provide a single correction factor for a nutrient x i given another nutrient xk in conformity with the DRIS approach:
Using Distance Fields for Object Representation and Rendering

Distance ﬁelds are a two-or three-dimensional array of values, where each value is the minimum distance to the encoded object. Usually distance ﬁelds are signed, such that negative values signify the point is inside the object, and positive are outside. Distance ﬁelds are becoming a popular research area as more applications are discovered, and many of these application areas are discussed in this report. More importantly, algorithms for computing distance ﬁelds quickly are also examined. Both existing algorithms, and those developed by our-selves at Swansea are discussed.
Pigment composition of a novel oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryote containing chlorophyll d as the major chlorophyll

The principal pigment found in the majority of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms is known to be chlorophyll a. However, we isolated a new oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryote that contained chlorophyll (/ as a predominant pigment with chlorophyll a being a minor pigment. Chlorophyll d had previously been noted but its natural occurrence and function remained unclear. Cells of the new prokaryote had an absorption maximum at red region of 714-718 nm due to chlorophyll d absorption, but no characteristic absorption peak of chlorophyll a around 680 nm was observed. Chlorophyll d of the new organism was identified spectrophotometrically in several solvents and its chemical structure was confirmed by NMR and FABMS analysis. The cell also contained a chlorophyll c-like pigment, zeaxanthin and a-carotene but not chlorophyll b and /^-carotene. The content of chlorophyll d accounted for more than 2% of the cell dry weight, while the content of chlorophyll a was less than 0.1%. The chlorophyll a/d ratio remained between 0.03 and 0.09 under different culture conditions. The light absorption characteristics and the high content of chlorophyll d along with the small content of chlorophyll a indicated the existence of a new light utilization mechanism involving chlorophyll d.
Techno-Economic Analysis of Hydrogen Production Using Nuclear Power Plant Electricity Generation in Korea

As a part of Republic of Korea’s hydrogen policy roadmap, ROK outlines its goal of producing 6.2 million fuel cell vehicle and at least 1200 hydrogen refilling stations [1]. The hydrogen price is targeted to be as low as 3000 KRW/kgH2 by 2040 [1]. To achieve that goal, stable and cost-efficient hydrogen producing method needs to be identified, including using nuclear power plant generated heat and electricity. Korea needs to focus on enhancing its hydrogen technology infrastructure, technological status, and R&D budgets to improve their competitiveness [2]. Accordingly, the availability of ROK’s nuclear power plant as an energy source to produce hydrogen can be considered as an attractive option. Especially with the government plan to phase out nuclear power that resulted in the reduced capacity factor and availability factor of currently operating nuclear power plant as shown in Fig. 1 [3].
POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN WIND ENERGY SYSTEM USING HEX-STATCOM

This paper work concentrates on power quality enhancement in Wind Energy System (WES) using 3-Phase, Hexagram-Static Compensator (HEX-SC). In this surroundings, the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based 3 kW wind energy system is employed to implement HEXSC. The main objective of this HEX-SC is to improve the power quality in the proposed system, when WES output changes with the wind speed and also the variation of load. Furthermore, the implementation of HEX-SC reduces the power loss during low wind velocity and also due to the presence of Total Harmonic Distortions (THD) with enhanced power factor. In this research approach, the proposed system performance parameters namely frequency, output voltage and THD levels are examined for various wind velocities and variable load conditions. In addition, the excellence of HEX-SC is analyzed with Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation techniques (SVPWM). The simulation has been carried out for the proposed system using Matlab/Simulink software tool. Moreover, installing a HEX-SC in the WES will increase power transfer capability by improving the voltage stability and retaining a smooth voltage profile under different wind speed and load conditions. Finally, it has the ability to perform active filtering and also very useful for improvements in power quality.
Enhancing User Interactions by Combining AR Markers with Various Kinds of Markers

: This research uses various kinds of markers combining with AR markers to enhance user interactions. Our new AR system consists of three new functions, i.e., multiple markers recognition, hidden markers recognition, and auxiliary markers. As multiple markers recognition, we have integrated various kinds of markers in our new system. Our system can detect and locate their position concurrently. As hidden markers recognition, we have designed button areas on the hidden marker based on natural feature points. When the users cover the button area by their finger, the input events will be triggered. As auxiliary marker, user can get specific or decrypted information by putting auxiliary markers.
