VLBA polarimetric monitoring of 3C 111

Context. While studies of large samples of jets of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are important in order to establish a global picture, dedicated single-source studies are an invaluable tool for probing crucial processes within jets on parsec scales. These processes involve in particular the formation and geometry of the jet magnetic field as well as the flow itself. Aims. We aim to better understand the dynamics within relativistic magneto-hydrodynamical flows in the extreme environment and close vicinity of supermassive black holes. Methods. We analyze the peculiar radio galaxy 3C 111, for which long-term polarimetric observations are available. We make use of the high spatial resolution of the VLBA network and the MOJAVE monitoring program, which provides high data quality also for single sources and allows us to study jet dynamics on parsec scales in full polarization with an evenly sampled time-domain. While electric vectors can probe the underlying magnetic field, other properties of the jet such as the variable (polarized) flux density, feature size, and brightness temperature, can give valuable insights into the flow itself. We complement the VLBA data with data from the IRAM 30-m Telescope as well as the SMA. Results. We observe a complex evolution of the polarized jet. The electric vector position angles (EVPAs) of features traveling down the jet perform a large rotation of ≳180∘ across a distance of about 20 pc. As opposed to this smooth swing, the EVPAs are strongly variable within the first parsecs of the jet. We find an overall tendency towards transverse EVPAs across the jet with a local anomaly of aligned vectors in between. The polarized flux density increases rapidly at that distance and eventually saturates towards the outermost observable regions. The transverse extent of the flow suddenly decreases simultaneously to a jump in brightness temperature around where we observe the EVPAs to turn into alignment with the jet flow. Also the gradient of the feature size and particle density with distance steepens significantly at that region. Conclusions. We interpret the propagating polarized features as shocks and the observed local anomalies as the interaction of these shocks with a localized recollimation shock of the underlying flow. Together with a sheared magnetic field, this shock-shock interaction can explain the large rotation of the EVPA. The superimposed variability of the EVPAs close to the core is likely related to a clumpy Faraday screen, which also contributes significantly to the observed EVPA rotation in that region.
Comparison of blood pressure measurements in the upper and lower extremities versus arterial blood pressure readings in children under general anesthesia

Purpose To compare invasive blood pressure (IBP) readings obtained from an arterial cannula with non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements from oscillometric cuffs on the upper and lower extremities of infants and children under general anesthesia. Patients and methods Patients under 10 years of age were enrolled in our study if they were to receive general anesthesia with planned placement of a radial arterial cannula. At 5 mins intervals, IBP was measured using a fluid-coupled pressure transducer and NIBP was measured with two oscillometers with appropriately sized cuffs placed on the upper arm and lower leg, for 10 readings per patient. Results The study enrolled 18 boys and 12 girls, ranging in age from 0 to 8 years. Across 300 data points, the absolute difference between the arm and invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP) measurements was 7±7 mmHg (range: 0–52 mmHg). The absolute difference between the leg and invasive MAP measurements was 8±8 mmHg (range: 0–52 mmHg). Although both non-invasive measurement sites demonstrated frequent deviation from invasive measurement, large deviations were more common when BP was measured at the leg (81 of 298 observations (27%) deviating by >10 mmHg) compared to the arm (60 of 300 observations (20%) deviating by >10 mmHg). Conclusion The frequency of clinically significant NIBP deviation in children under general anesthesia supports the importance of IBP monitoring when hemodynamic fluctuations are likely and would be particularly detrimental. NIBP measured at the lower leg is more likely to result in clinically significant deviation from invasively measured MAP than NIBP values obtained from an upper arm.
Pathological and physio-biochemical characterization of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines, incitent of Glycine max leaf pustules

The bacterium isolated from soybean (Glycine max L). identified and characterized on the basis of cultural, morphological, pathological and physio-biochemical characteristics as Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Nakano) Vauterin,. Hoste, Kersters & Swings. Host-range study showed that the bacterium caused severe disease symptoms on horse gram other than soybean. The fraction of partially purified toxin(s) number 4 and 7 collected by using sephadox gel chromatography were found to be highly toxic to the host plant as well as other plants on detached leaf/twig and seedling (more than 50% wilting). Partially purified toxin treatment caused chlorosis in leaves of turnip, radish, castor, soybean, mustard (> 50%). Toxin treatment also reduced 100% seed germination in clusterbean, gram, coriander, turnip and urdbean. The bacterium produced higher pectinolytic enzyme (83.6%) as compared to cellulolytic and protopectinase enzyme. The loss of viscosity in terms of enzyme activity (50% loss in viscosity) was higher in polyglacturonase (96.1), followed by celllolytic enzymes (54.6), pectin trans- eliminase (50.5), polyglacturonase and polygalacturonate trans-eliminase (49) enzymes. The reduced amount of chlorophyll (a, b and total) 82.9%, carotinoids (20.9%), total nitrogen protein (46.9%) and non-reducing sugars (60.9%) was found in infected plant tissues while reducing sugar and orthodihydroxy phenol had increased. The slight increased activity of peroxidase (25.6%), catalase (22.3%), superoxidase dismutase (36.6%) and ascorbate peroxidase (35.1%) in infected leaf tissues was recorded.
AN ERUPTIVE HOT-CHANNEL STRUCTURE OBSERVED AT METRIC WAVELENGTH AS A MOVING TYPE-IV SOLAR RADIO BURST

Hot-channel (HC) structure, observed in the high-temperature passbands of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly/Solar Dynamic Observatory, is regarded as one candidate of coronal flux rope that is an essential element of solar eruptions. Here, we present the first radio imaging study of an HC structure in the metric wavelength. The associated radio emission manifests as a moving type-IV (t-IVm) burst. We show that the radio sources co-move outward with the HC, indicating that the t-IV emitting energetic electrons are efficiently trapped within the structure. The t-IV sources at different frequencies present no considerable spatial dispersion during the early stage of the event, while the sources spread gradually along the eruptive HC structure at later stage with significant spatial dispersion. The t-IV bursts are characterized by a relatively high brightness temperature (∼107–109 K), a moderate polarization, and a spectral shape that evolves considerably with time. This study demonstrates the possibility of imaging the eruptive HC structure at the metric wavelength and provides strong constraints on the t-IV emission mechanism, which, if understood, can be used to diagnose the essential parameters of the eruptive structure.
Generating comparative analysis of early stage prediction of Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease prediction is one of the most important issues in medical decision making. The discovery of ckd prediction is an important task because it depends on experts of doctor knowledge. Construct effective ckd prediction in time is essential to prevent healthy patients. Chronic kidney disease is one of the leading cause of death and early prediction of chronic kidney disease is important. Prediction is most interesting and challenging tasks in day to life. Data mining play a essential role for prediction of medical dataset. It extract unknown information from hidden knowledge. This paper can proposed a new chronic kidney disease dataset with three classifiers such as radial basis function network, multilayer perceptron, and logistic regression. The obtained result of this experiment shows in terms of prediction accuracy, type I error, type II error, type I error rate, type II error rate, sensitivity, specificity, F-score. Kappa value represents that measure of agreement between the classification made by the experts and classifiers. Accuracy of the three classifiers are evaluated for the new CDK dataset from UCI repository. Thus, the paper discussed the result of comparative study of classifiers in medical ckd dataset.
Sexual behaviour and its socio-demographic determinants among long-distance truck drivers of the Pune district, India

Introduction: Truck drivers constitute a bridge population between the general population and the high-risk group because of their mobility and high-risk behaviour. It was the importance of sexual behaviour among the vulnerable mobile population which prompted the investigator to study the same among truck drivers in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Material and methods: The study was cross-sectional, descriptive, and questionnaire-based and was conducted on long-distance truck drivers in Loni (Pune). The truck drivers who consented to have an interview were taken to a separate area to maintain privacy and confidentiality. A total of 360 truck drivers were interviewed with a pretested and validated questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the truck drivers was 37.8 years (SD = 10.8). The majority of respondent were married (77.8%), consumed alcohol (82.0%), smoked (55.6%), and viewed pornography (83.3%). 41.6% truck drivers spent 21-25 nights away from home per month. More than 90% truck drivers had their first sexual encounter in the age range of 16-21 years. Nearly four-fifths (80.5%) of the truck drivers admitted having extra-marital sexual relations and 23.3% reported a history of visiting commercial sex workers (CSWs). In multivariable logistic regression, age and smoking were associated with extra-marital sexual relations, while coming from a rural area, being unmarried, and having a higher income were associated with exposure to CSWs; truck drivers with satisfactory sex life were less likely to visit CSWs. Conclusions: More efforts are required to translate the high-risk perception of unsafe sexual behaviour among the truck driver population into correct and safe sexual practices.

A Theoretical and Numerical Study of Density Currents in Nonconstant Shear Flows

The previous idealized two-fluid model of a density current in constant shear is extended to the case where the inflow shear is confined to the low levels. The analytical solution is determined by the conservation of mass, momentum, vorticity, and energy. It is found that a low-level shear acts in a similar manner to a uniform vertical shear in controlling the depth of a steady-state density current. When the shear enhances the low-level flow against the density current propagation, the current is deeper than half of the domain depth. Time-dependent numerical experiments are conducted for a variety of parameter settings, including various depths and strengths of the shear layer. The numerical results agree closely with the theoretical analyses. Numerical experiments are also performed for a case where the initial depth of the density current is set to be comparable to the low-level shear, which is much shallower than that given by the steady-state solution. The circulation at the density current head remains shallow and is nonsteady in this case, whereas the time-averaged flow still exhibits a deep jump updraft pattern that is close to the theoretical solution, suggesting the applicability of the theoretical results to even more transient flows. The simulated flow features are discussed in terms of balanced and unbalanced dynamics, and in the context of forcing and uplifting at the frontal zone in long-lived convective systems. Here the term balance refers to a flow configuration that satisfies the steady-state solution of the idealized theoretical model.
Layer Charge-Cation-Exchange Capacity Relationships in Montmorillonite

The charge density distribution among different classes of a series of reduced charge mont-morillonites is heterogeneous as in the parent Camp Berteau clay. In addition, charge reduction proceeds inhomogeneously. Up to 20% differences in charge density can be accounted for by aikyl chains extending at the edges of the clay particle. A realistic charge density-cation-exchange capacity relationship for hec-torite, Otay montmorillonite, and a series of reduced charge montmorillonites of Camp Berteau is obtained by accounting for the influence of particle radius and for the extent of alkyl chains lying outside the clay layers in the charge density calculations. РезюмеНаблюдается гетерогенное распределение плотности зарядов среди различных классов серий монтмориллонитов с пониженными зарядами как в материнской глине Кэмп Бертю. Кроме того понижение запяда происходит неравномерно. Различие в плотности заряда до 20% может быть обусловлено алкильными цепями, протягивающимися на краях частиц глины. При вычислениях плотности зарядов достигаются реальные соотношения плотности зарядов и катионной обменной способности для гекторита, монтмориллонита Отэй и серии монтмориллонитов с пониженными зарядами из Кэмп Бертю, если учитывать влияние радиусов частиц и протяжения алкильных цепей, лежащих снаружи слоев глины. ResümeeDie Verteilung der Ladungsdichte zwischen verschiedenen Arten von Montmorilloniten mit reduzierter Ladung ist genauso heterogen wie im ursprünglichen Camp Berteau Ton. Außerdem geht die Reduzierung der Ladung inhomogen vor sich. Ein Unterschied bis zu 20% in der Ladungsdichte kann durch die Alkylketten erklärt werden, die an den Ecken der Tonteilchen liegen. Eine realistische Ladungsdichte-Kationenaustauschkapazität für Hektorit, Otay Montmorillonit, und eine Reihe von Camp Berteau Montmorilloniten mit reduzierter Ladung ergibt sich, wenn man den Einfluß des Teilchenradius und die Länge der Alkylketten, die außerhalb der Tonschichten liegen, bei der Berechnung der Ladungsdichte berücksichtigt. RésuméLa distribution de la densité de charge dans une série de montmorillonites à charge réduite est hétérogène comme dans l’argile originale de Camp Berteau. En plus la réduction de la charge procède d’une manière inhomogène. Des différences de 20% dans la densité de charge peuvent être expliquées comme dues aux chaînes d’ions alkylammonium étendues aux bords des particules de l’argile. La relation réelle entre la densité de charge et la capacité d’échange pour l’hectorite, la montmorillonite Otay, et une série de montmorillonites à charge réduite est obtenue en tenant compte de l’influence du rayon des particules et de la proportion des ions alkylammonium débordants de la particule argileuse dans le calcul de la densité de charge.
DO TROPONIN I AND MYOGLOBIN LEVEL PREDICT THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEART FAILURE IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION ?

Özet Akut miyokard infarktüsü (AMĐ) geçiren hastalarda kalp yetersizliği (KY) komplikasyonunun gelişimi, mortaliteyi ve prognozu belirleyen en önemli faktörlerden birisidir. Bu çalışmada AMĐ geçirip KY gelişen olgulardaki serum kardiyak troponin I (cTnI) ve miyoglobin düzeylerinin, AMĐ geçiren ancak KY girmeyen olgulara göre nasıl etkilendiği incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmaya, AMĐ geçirip kalp yetmezliği gelişen 42-69 yaşları arasındaki 24 olgu, AMĐ sonrası yetersizlik gelişmeyen 35-75 yaşları arasındaki 22 olgu ve sağlıklı kontrol grubu olarak 39-82 yaşları arasında olan 25 olgu alındı. AMĐ'lı olgulardan, MĐ'nün başlangıcından sonraki 5. günde kan alındı. cTnI ve miyoglobin düzeyleri kemilüminescent immünofotometrik yöntemle ölçüldü. AMĐ geçirip KY gelişen gruptaki cTnI düzeyleri, AMĐ geçirip KY gelişmeyen gruba kıyasla daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.05). AMĐ geçirip KY gelişen gruptaki miyoglobin düzeyleri kontrol grubuna göre istatistiki yönden anlamlı düzeyde düşük bulundu (p<0.05). Aynı gruptaki cTnI yüksekliği ile miyoglobin düşüklüğü arasında anlamlı negatif bir korelasyon tespit edildi (r=-0.611, p=0.002). Sonuç olarak, AMĐ sonrası 5. günde KY gelişen olgulardaki cTnI düzeylerinin, KY gelişmeyen olgulara göre daha yüksek düzeylerde bulunduğu, miyoglobin düzeylerinin ise kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük olduğu görüldü. AMĐ'nde KY'ne gidişin sebebinin infarkt sahasının büyüklüğü olduğu ve buna bağlı olarak yetersizliğe girenlerde cTnI düzeylerinin yetersizliğe girmeyen AMĐ'lere göre daha yüksek düzeyde seyrettiği; bununla beraber miyoglobin düzeylerindeki anlamlı azalmanın KY'ne gidişin patogenezinde rolünün olabileceği kanaatine varıldı.

Diferencias entre abuelas favorecieron (P<0.10) a Criollo para EFALI (0.01+.004 kg), AOC (2.20+.61 pulgadas2) y PCC (39.02+14.4 kg). HM influyo (P<0.10) sobre AOC (1.18+.47 pulgadas2) y RP (-3.88+0.99 kg). Las diferencias raciales sugieren que vacas GC son mejores que vacas CG para producir becerros en Nayarit.
An investigation of the effects of harvesting time and milling moisture content of paddy on the quality of milled rice

Paddy harvest time (PHT) and its moisture content at milling process (MCMP) are two major factors determining the milling quality of rice. In this regards, a field research was conducted to study the effect of these factors on milled rice breakage (MRB) and ratio of cracked kernels (RCK) of Hashemi paddy cultivar in north of Iran. Five harvest times of 24, 27, 30, 33, 36 days after fifty percent flowering (DAFPF) and four milling moisture contents of 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15% dry basis (d.b.) were considered for the research. Results showed that the effects of PHT and MCMP were significant on the MRB and RCK (P < 0.01). The lowest (16.32%) MRB was recorded at 30 DAFPF; however there was no significant difference between values at 27 and 30 DAFPF (17.02 and 16.32%, respectively). Results also indicated that the lowest (9.84%) MRB mean was obtained at 8-9% d.b. of MCMP. The least (1.813%) RCK was obtained at 27 DAFPF; however there was no significant difference between the RCK at 27 and 30 DAFPF (1.813 and 1.750%, respectively). Besides, the lowest mean values of RCK (1.048 and 1.288%) were determined at 8-9 and 10-11% MCMP. As a final conclusion, in order to gain the least MRB and RCK, the most suitable situations for harvesting and milling the ‘Hashemi’ cultivar in north of Iran were determined to be harvesting at 30 DAFPF and milling at PMC of 8-9% d.b.
Micro-power System

Emerging microsystems such as portable and implantable medical electronics, wireless microsensors and next-generation portable multimedia devices demand a dramatic reduction in energy consumption. The ultimate goal is to power these devices using energy harvesting techniques such as vibration-to-electric conversion or through wireless power transmission. A major opportunity to reduce the energy consumption of digital circuits is to scale supply voltages to 0.5V and below. The challenges associated with ultra-low-voltage design will be presented. These include variation-aware design for logic and SRAM circuits, efficient DC-DC converters for ultra-low-voltage structuring to support extreme parallelism. This paper also addresses micro-power analog and RF circuits, which require the use of applicationspecific structures and highly digital variation-aware architectures. In the near future, a number of systems will be powered using energy scavenging technologies, enabling exciting new applications such as medical monitoring, toxic gas sensors and next-generation portable video gadgets. This will require the electronic circuits to operate with utmost energy efficiency while performing the required functionality. Energy minimization requires a system-level approach optimizing not only the signal processing and interface circuits but also the energy processing function. The energy per operation of digital logic continues to improve with process scaling. However, energy savings are limited by device impairments such as random dopant fluctuations. Operating circuits at or below 0.5 V requires a departure from traditional circuit approaches (e.g., the use of redundancy). In the mixed-signal micro-power domain, the designer should develop structures that mitigate or even exploit device variability. Application specific architectures apply not only to digital but also mixed-signal circuits for energy minimization. Similarly, energy processing circuits must be carefully optimized for both the load circuits and the energy source. This requires run-time optimization rather than static design-time optimization. Circuits should be biased at their minimum energy point accounting for variations in signal statistics and environmental conditions. A systems-level approach to the energy problem can result in more than an order of magnitude energy reduction compared to present day systems.
