The Characteristics of Disclosure among Children Who May have been Sexually Abused

Seventy-six children (5 to 10 years old), who were referred because of concerns about sexual abuse, were interviewed as part of a larger study testing the efficacy of a computerassisted interview in sexual abuse evaluations. Data from initial interviews were coded according to the presence of disclosure and the details revealed about sexual abuse. The presence and amount of corroboration were coded through case review. Although 56 children were coded as having disclosed prior to evaluation, only 44 subjects disclosed during the initial interview. Only 1 child disclosed spontaneously. An additional 8 children (11%) disclosed possible sexual abuse in a second or later interview. Although girls disclosed at a higher rate than boys, children did not differ in the amount or types of information they provided about alleged sexual abuse. Findings are discussed in terms of the conceptualization of disclosure as a process. Implications for interviewing strategies are addressed.
Multi–detector CT Urography in the diagnosis of urinary tract abnormalities

Introduction: Different imaging techniques are being used in the diagnosis of urinary tract abnormalities. IVU, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), retrograde ureterography, pyelography, cystoscopy, and ureteroscopy are used to diagnose patients with urinary complaints. Non contrast MDCT is now routinely used to evaluate calculi, Renal masses, ureteral abnormalities and urinary bladder masses. Excretory-phase CT can now be used to evaluate the ureter. Preliminary results of excretory-phase CT demonstrate a high sensitivity (95%) in diagnosing upper urinary tract uroepithelial malignancy. CT usually demonstrates bladder disease, but flat tumours of the bladder are difficult to be identified with CT, and the cystoscopy remains the study of choice in evaluating for bladder malignany. Now with the help of MDCT protocol, comprehensive evaluation of renal disease can be performed, Material and Methods: It is a retrospective study of 60 patients, From May 2013 to November 2014. 60 patients (41 male and 19 were females with mean age 44 yrs (age range 27 – 61 years) were selected in this study. All the patients underwent CT scan study with or without intravenous contrast medium. CT scan study was performed on a MDCT scanner (Siemens Medical Systems). Result: Out of 60 patients, 42 (70 %) had urolithiasis. The unenhanced CT examination provides adequate information of all urinary calculi and associated hydronephrosis. 18 cases (30 %) demonstrated non urolithiasis abnormality. Out of 18 cases, 6 (10 %) cases demonstrated masse, 8 (13.33 %) cases demonstrated inflammatory changes. Congenital anomalieswas found in 4 patients (6.66%). Conclusion: MDCT urography is the best modality with a combination of unenhanced, nephrographic-phase and excretory-phase in wide spectrum of urinary tract abnormalities. CT urography demonstrates both intrinsic and extrinsic abnormalities of ureter than IVU.
Comparative analysis of PM2.5 pollution risk in China using three-dimensional Archimedean copula method

Abstract As one of the most vital pointers of the air quality, PM2.5 has a great influence on the sustainable development of the environment and economy in China. To evaluate the PM2.5 pollution risk (PPR), we considered the danger of the hazard (H), the exposure (E), and vulnerability (V) of the hazard-affected body from the modern disaster comprehensive risk perspective. We tried to introduce the three-dimensional Archimedean copula method to assess the PPR from the Eight Comprehensive Economic (ECE) zones to the whole region in China. The analysis results show that: (i) the PPR is monotone increasing with the H, E, and V; (ii) the H and V have more direct impact on the PPR than the E, and the three aspects need to be considered simultaneously in the risk assessment; (iii) although all regions can achieve the daily average concentration limit (H < 35) except the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, it is difficult for the half of the ECE zones to maintain good air quality (H < 15) since the high probability risk.

Fester Bestandteil jeder Tour sollte deshalb eine geeignete Sonnenbrille sein, die auch weitere UV-bedingte Augenerkrankungen verhindern kann.
Semi-supervised Classification Method for Remote Sensing scene Based on Deep Learning

Aiming at the classification problem of remote sensing scenes, this paper proposes a semi-supervised deep learning method combining the generative generation network with the convolutional neural network. The method improves the loss function of the deep convolutional generation network, and designs the even convolutional network EM-10 and its transposed convolution network as discriminators and generators respectively, which improves its ability to extract remote sensing features. The trained discriminator is used for the classification of remote sensing scenes with an accuracy of over 90%.
Prediction of risk of development of type 2 diabetes mellitus using Indian diabetic risk score in rural areas of Hassan

Diabetes is a chronic, progressive non-communicable disease (NCD) characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (blood sugar). It occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar, or glucose), or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. NCDs are of long duration, and are generally slow in progression. NCDs are the leading cause of death in the world, responsible for 38 million (68%) of the 56 million deaths worldwide in 2012.
Effects of nanomaterials and particles on mechanical properties and fracture toughness of composite materials: a short review

The positive influence of nanomaterials and particles on the behavior of composite material structures have been studied which include the material structural characteristics, manufacturing process, compatibility with the other phases, size, dispersion process, adhesion, etc. The review on the choice of nanomaterials for a specific application and their effects on the bulk materials related to loadings have been overlooked. Thus, this paper reviewed the effects of nanomaterials based on loading conditions, sizes adhesions for the specific category of fillers. It also showed the appropriate filler amount for the enhancement of mechanical properties (i.e. stiffness and strength) and fracture toughness for both interlaminar and intralaminar perspectives. Furthermore, the effects of soft, hard and hybrid fillers were organized to put in evidence how some filler have magnificent effects for specific property enhancements. Moreover, the optimum nanomaterials application related to loading conditions were articulated in order to give a quick suggestion to the structural design engineers and researchers. Finally, the review gives a hint on how the addition of nanofillers and particle affects damage initiations and behavior of fiber reinforced plastic composites.
Fast Determination of Single-Cut Far-Field Pattern of Base Station Antenna at a Quasi-Far-Field Distance

In this article, we present a new approach for fast determination of the single-cut far-field (FF) pattern and antenna gain of a base station antenna with remarkably unequal aperture length and width (such as linear antenna array) at a quasi- FF (QFF) range, by taking advantage of the cylindrical wave expansion (CWE). The proposed method is free of probe compensation since the probe is stationary and the antenna under test (AUT) is in the QFF range, which makes the measurements equivalent to FF measurements. The measurement distance required by the proposed approach only needs to satisfy the FF condition and QFF condition for the relatively smaller dimension and larger dimension of the AUT, respectively. To validate the proposed method, we simulated four types of antenna array, that is, an array with a uniform distribution, a low sidelobe array, a phased array, and a shaped-beam array. It is found that the results are consistent with our theoretical analysis.
Treatment of irregular bleeding with oestradiol during long-term levonorgestrel- releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) use

Objectives: Up to 60% of women remove their levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS) prematurely, mostly because of irregular bleeding disturbances up to six months after insertion. Assuming ongoing bleeding is due to atrophic bleeding of the endometrium, treatment with ooestrogen could be effective. No study in literature supports ooestrogen therapy for irregular bleeding in LNG-IUS users. Study design: A prospective cohort study was conducted in two hospitals to evaluate the effect of oral ooestradiol (started six months after LNG-IUS insertion) on irregular bleeding days. The participating women received 2mg ooestradiol daily for six weeks. We observed the discontinuation rate, the occurrence of adverse events and side effects due to ooestradiol. Women completed questionnaires at baseline and three months after start of the treatment. Results: Nineteen women were included. A median of 21 irregular bleeding days per month at baseline decreased to a median of five irregular bleeding days per month (p=0.003) after the use of ooestradiol for six weeks. Three out of nineteen women had their LNG-IUS removed at three months follow-up because of persistent irregular bleeding. No adverse events were reported, however, 68% of the participants reported side effects. Conclusion : In this study we observed a decrease in the number of irregular bleeding days in LNG-IUS users with ongoing irregular bleeding (>6 months after insertion), after administering oral ooestradiol for six weeks. We propose to conduct a larger prospective trial to evaluate ooestradiol as treatment option for irregular bleeding.
Successful Treatment of Foreign Body Granuloma Using Topical Photodynamic Therapy

Recently, filler injection has been widely used in treatment of wrinkles of adult women or to boost up the forehead, eyebrows, lips, cheeks area, etc. It is a relatively less invasive procedure requiring only a simple process and rapid return to normal life, which is growing in popularity. However, its side effects have also increased. The most serious complications of the delayed side effects include granuloma formation by reaction to an alien substance. The frequency of alien substance-related granuloma is reported to be lower than that of more recently developed filler injection methods, however, its ratio is estimated to be up to approximately 3% as filler-using plastic surgeries increase and are performed by large numbers of non-medical experts using unknown ingredients in unauthorized clinics in South Korea. Granuloma formation by reaction to an alien substance is a normal tissue reaction that appears to stop any material that is not immediately removed by enzyme destruction or phagocytosis from moving elsewhere and isolate it. We report on a case of granuloma formation after filler injection treatment using the 660 nm bio-light and Chlorophyll-lipoid complex (CLC, VIRTA-Healer TM ) as a photosensitizer. The photodynamic therapy is a photo-treatment involving absorption of a photosensitizer, a material that reacts to light, into a target cell, which uses flashing light in a specific wave length in order to selectively destroy targeted lesions. The 660mm bio-light stimulates cells involved in cut wound treatment and facilitates blood circulation to promote skin re-generation.
HapBead: On-Skin Microfluidic Haptic Interface using Tunable Bead

On-skin haptic interfaces using soft elastomers which are thin and flexible have significantly improved in recent years. Many are focused on vibrotactile feedback that requires complicated parameter tuning. Another approach is based on mechanical forces created via piezoelectric devices and other methods for non-vibratory haptic sensations like stretching, twisting. These are often bulky with electronic components and associated drivers are complicated with limited control of timing and precision. This paper proposes HapBead, a new on-skin haptic interface that is capable of rendering vibration like tactile feedback using microfluidics. HapBead leverages a microfluidic channel to precisely and agilely oscillate a small bead via liquid flow, which then generates various motion patterns in channel that creates highly tunable haptic sensations on skin. We developed a proof-of-concept design to implement thin, flexible and easily affordable HapBead platform, and verified its haptic rendering capabilities via attaching it to users' fingertips. A study was carried out and confirmed that participants could accurately tell six different haptic patterns rendered by HapBead. HapBead enables new wearable display applications with multiple integrated functionalities such as on-skin haptic doodles, visuo-haptic displays and haptic illusions.
Consumer Knowledge and Perceptions Regarding Genetically Modified Foods: A Case Study of Two Cities in Botswana

The purpose of this study was to investigate the consumers’ knowledge and perceptions regarding the availability, acceptance and consumption of Genetically Modified Foods in Botswana. The study used a questionnaire to collect quantitative data from 400 consumers at 10 supermarkets located in Francistown and Gaborone. Systematic random sampling technique was performed and consumer respondents were picked at the entrance of each supermarkets every day between 8 am to 5 pm in the month of June 2016. Data were analyzed computed for simple frequencies and percentages. The findings exposed that majority of the consumers were females (59 percent), slightly above half (54 percent) were aged between 21 and 30 years old with majority of them having tertiary education. The study also revealed that consumers seem to be knowledgeable about availability, seemed to accept and was positive about the genetically modified foods. The findings implied that genetically modified foods were deemed to be solving issues related to food shortage for the growing population globally. The study recommended that a national study be conducted to cover all regions and a mixed methodology be used to gather in-depth information.
Flurprimidol: A growth retardant

Controlling plant size is one of the most important aspects of crop production. Growers can control crop height genetically, environmentally, culturally or chemically. Genetic control of plant height is primarily achieved by selecting shorter cultivars. Environmental control involves manipulating light (increasing light intensity, minimizing far-red light, and photoperiod) or temperature (reducing the difference between the day and night temperatures, or DIF). Cultural control includes moisture management (stress) and phosphorus or nitrogen deprivation. These techniques can be effective height-suppressing strategies for some crops, but these techniques may not work equally well for each crop under a common environment. An alternative, effective strategy for controlling plant height is to use chemical plant growth retardants (PGRs). Flurprimidol is an alternative for Ancymidol that is at least two times as active and more stable. It is a synthetic inhibitor of Gibberrelic Acid biosynthesis. It is a growth retardant commonly use in horticultural crops in Europe. Flurprimidol is a pyrimidinyl carbinol type plant growth retardant. It acts by reducing the biosynthesis of gibberellins and translocation in plants is apoplastic. Flurprimidol is used on container grown ornamentals, pot plants and bedding plants to reduce internode
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing illuminates high levels of divergence among sympatric forms of coregonines in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Effective resource management depends on our ability to partition diversity into biologically meaningful units. Recent evolutionary divergence, however, can often lead to ambiguity in morphological and genetic differentiation, complicating the delineation of valid conservation units. Such is the case with the “coregonine problem,” where recent postglacial radiations of coregonines into lacustrine habitats resulted in the evolution of numerous species flocks, often with ambiguous taxonomy. The application of genomics methods is beginning to shed light on this problem and the evolutionary mechanisms underlying divergence in these ecologically and economically important fishes. Here, we used restriction site‐associated DNA (RAD) sequencing to examine genetic diversity and differentiation among sympatric forms in the Coregonus artedi complex in the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior, the largest lake in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Using 29,068 SNPs, we were able to clearly distinguish among the three most common forms for the first time, as well as identify putative hybrids and potentially misidentified specimens. Population assignment rates for these forms using our RAD data were 93%–100% with the only mis‐assignments arising from putative hybrids, an improvement from 62% to 77% using microsatellites. Estimates of pairwise differentiation (FST: 0.045–0.056) were large given the detection of hybrids, suggesting that reduced fitness of hybrid individuals may be a potential mechanism for the maintenance of differentiation. We also used a newly built C. artedi linkage map to look for islands of genetic divergence among forms and found widespread differentiation across the genome, a pattern indicative of long‐term drift, suggesting that these forms have been reproductively isolated for a substantial amount of time. The results of this study provide valuable information that can be applied to develop well‐informed management strategies and stress the importance of re‐evaluating conservation units with genomic tools to ensure they accurately reflect species diversity.
Study on Basic Analysis Method of Critical Heat Flux in Energy System

The parameters of molten salt heat storage power generation system are continuously improved. The boiling crisis caused by deterioration of heat transfer in such system is studied and the basic mechanism and influencing factors are explored. In traditional theory the dry area of the bubbles are the cause of sudden overburning. In this paper the physical phenomenon is simulated by a variable heat convection boundary condition. Based on Fluent, four factors, including growth rate of dry area, size of dry area, size of pipe and shape of pipe, are simulated and analysed numerically to figure out what effect they have on wall temperature rise. The calculation results show that if final size of dry area is consistent, the dry area’s expansion rate will have little influence on wall temperature because time for temperature to rise is much more than that for dry area to grow; The highest temperature rise is directly dependent on the size of dry area, and is also affected by the size of pipe, which is related to volume heat flux; Corner of square pipe is more likely to face the boiling crisis than centre region. In order to burn the pipe wall, there must be a large area of heat transfer deterioration lasting for quite a long time, so the most cases of the wall damage is due to thermal stress instead of traditional statement “burning”. This method provides a new analytical perspective and has guiding significance for experiment and theoretical analysis in the next research plan.
Toward a Multifaceted Heuristic of Digital Reading to Inform Assessment, Research, Practice, and Policy

In this commentary, the author explores the tension between almost 30 years of work that has embraced increasingly complex conceptions of digital reading and recent studies that risk oversimplifying digital reading as a singular entity analogous with reading text on a screen. The author begins by tracing a line of theoretical and empirical work that both informs and complicates our understanding of digital literacy and, more specifically, digital reading. Then, a heuristic is proposed to systematically organize, label, and define a multifaceted set of increasingly complex terms, concepts, and practices that characterize the spectrum of digital reading experiences. Research that informs this heuristic is used to illustrate how more precision in defining digital reading can promote greater clarity across research methods and advance a more systematic study of promising digital reading practices. Finally, the author discusses implications for assessment, research, practice, and policy.
Mixed phenotype acute leukaemia: a case report of an unusual presentation

Mixed phenotype acute leukaemias (MPALs), a varied group of disorders pose a diagnostic challenge to the physicians and pathologists alike. This rare subset of acute leukaemias are characterised by the presence of blasts which express markers of more than one lineage (B-lymphoid / T-lymphoid / Myeloid lineage), making the essentiality of immunophenotyping more pertinent. MPALs are included in the acute leukaemias of ambiguous lineage under the World health organization (WHO) classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. We describe here a case report of mixed phenotype acute leukaemia (T-Lymphoid/Myeloid).
A Hybrid String-Inverter/Rectifier Soft-Switched Bidirectional DC/DC Converter

In this article, a new bidirectional dc/dc converter topology based on a hybrid string-inverter/rectifier structure with an isolated CLLC resonant circuit is presented for energy storage applications. In this topology, a novel inverter/rectifier leg is presented that enables this circuit to operate in rectifying mode with much lower voltage ripple compared to the standard four-switch string rectifier circuit with the same capacitive filter. Compared to the dual-active-bridge circuit structure, the proposed inverter/rectifier leg is able to reduce the number of high-voltage switches required. A CLLC resonant circuit is employed to step-up/down the dc voltage levels. The operating principles of the proposed converter are discussed in this article. Silicon Carbide switches are used in both legs of the proposed converter, with zero-voltage switching turn-on and zero-current switching (ZCS) turn-off realized for all switches, whereas ZCS turn-on and off are achieved for all diodes. Simulation and experimental results are provided on a 1-kW, 100-kHz, 400-V/700-V converter system to highlight the merits of the proposed converter. Experimental results demonstrated that an efficiency of close to 97% is achieved in the proposed converter in both boost mode and buck mode at the full-load condition.
