Of course the results about penetration effect of big customers power on conservatism firm with two different ways of Basu and Gilovi and Hine ,don't clear predicate opinion about Iran firm.
Survival and nodulation of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain CJ02 on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) (cv. Cujut) cultivated on ferrasols (in pots experiment)

A pot-experiment was conducted to study the effect of carboxyl methyl-cellulose (CMC), ash (byproduct from cooking) and organic matter (compost) on survival of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain CJ02, growth and yield of soybean (cv. Cujut) cultivated on ferrasols. Results indicated that CMC, ash and organic matter affected to the survival of bradyrhizobia and good nodulation (number of nodule and dry weight of nodule) significantly. Besides, the increases in plant height, shoot dry weight, pod dry weight, yield, and quality of soybean seed were also recorded as comparing with the control and Bradyrhizobium inoculation. However, Bradyrhizobium inoculation significantly increased plant height, shoot dry weight and pod dry weight in comparison with the control. Application of Bradyrhizobium [with CMC] inoculation plus ash and organic matter could be a useful practice, sustaining the growth and yield of soybean cultivating on ferrasols.

Revealing Demand for Nature Experience Using Purchase Data of Equipment and Lodging

In 1967, John Krutilla suggested a relationship between car camping, canoe cruising, and cross-country skiing and induced demand for wild, primitive, and wilderness-related opportunities. Here, the time trend of cross-section parameter estimates of the relationship is examined. Households produce nature experiences using two factors: nature attributes and tools. Tools are equipment and lodging. While many studies have investigated to-site costs of producing nature experiences, on-site costs such as equipment and lodging are studied here by using Consumer Expenditure Survey data for Norway. Income coefficients of household demand for nature services in independent cross-section samples for each year are estimated over the period 1986-95. Proportions of households with non-zero purchase expenditures for equipment are followed from 1975 to 1995. Similar proportions of lodging expenditures are studied from 1986 to 1995. Out of a total of 526 goods in an exhaustive system, 20 goods are singled out and classified as nature experience tools. Two additional non-good expenses are added. Coefficients of demand are estimated for each year by using a tobit structure and a maximum likelihood procedure. While income coefficients of equipment and lodging are quite stable, household size coefficients are not. Both equipment and lodging remain luxury items over the period 1986-1995. Proportions of households with positive purchase expenditure on tools increase over time: In a referendum-by-wallets, nature experience production has received more votes and become more popular.
Curcumin Nano drug delivery systems: A Review on its type and therapeutic application

Design and development of herbal nanoparticles has become a frontier research in the nanoformulation arena. Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol (diferuloyl methane) is a potent phytomolecule obtained from turmeric (Curcuma longa, Family - Zingiberaceae) has a wide range of biological activities in chronic diseases and has wide therapeutic efficacy. But the clinical application of curcumin was limited due to its poor water solubility, rapid metabolism and rapid elimination which ultimately results in poor bioavailability upon oral administration. Therefore introduction of nanotechnology provides a solution towards in creased bioavailability of curcumin. In this review, an overview of curcumin nanoparticles is discussed.
Chemical defense among hydroids on pelagic Sargassum: Predator deterrence and absorption of solar UV radiation by secondary metabolites

The pelagic Sargassum community of the western Atlantic Ocean is species rich, with h ~ g h densities of predatory fishes and invertebrates living in close association with the floating seaweed. Little, however, is known about predator-prey interactions among Sargassum inhabitants and the factors that might help maintain this species richness. To assess how predators may affect the abundance of sessile Sargassum epiphytes, and how these epiphytes may defend themselves against predators, we examined interactions between the most abundant small predator associated with Sargassum mats, the filefish Monacanthus hispidus, and 4 ep~phytic hydroid species. This fish was the only Sargassum-associated predator to significantly consume hydroids in inltial assays. When filefish were given a simultaneous choice of all 4 hydroid species, they consumed 40 to 45% of 3 species (Cly6a noliformis, Aglaophenia latecarinata, and Tridentata turbinata), but consumed less than 5% of the fourth species, Tridentata marginata. Filefish consistently rejected small portions of T. marginata colonies, but consumed a palatable control food. Bioassay-gu~ded fractionation of T. marg~nata extract resulted in the isolation of a single deterrent secondary metabolite, tridentatol A. Three additional metabolites (tridentatols B to D) had no effect on filefish feeding. In addition to the defensive role of tridentatol A. the tridentatols (A to D) strongly absorb damaging solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and thus may function as sunscreens. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of chemical defenses among the pelagic Sargassum fauna, and the first report that a hydroid secondary metabolite deters consumers. Prey chemical defenses are an important factor in maintaining species richness in many predator-rich communities, but despite being chemically defended from predators, T. marginata was far less abundant than any of the other, more palatable, hydroids. The factors that allow highpreference hydroids to persist in such a predator-rich community remain unknown.
Short-time scale coupling between thermohaline and meteorological forcing in the Ría de Pontevedra

Two cruises were performed in May-June and October-November 1997 in the Ria de Pontevedra under strong downwelling conditions. Temperature and salinity data were recorded in short sampling periods to describe the changes in thermohaline property distribution in a short time scale. In order to obtain the residual fluxes in the Ria, a bi-dimensional non-stationary salt and thermal-energy weight averaged box-model was applied. Outputs from this kinematic model were compared with Upwelling Index, river flow and density gradient, resulting in a good multiple correlation, which proves the strong coupling between thermohaline properties and meteorological variability. Ekman forcing affects the whole area but mainly controls the dynamics of outer zones. The intensity of its effect on the circulation pattern within the Ria depends on the grade of stratification of the water bodies. River flow is more relevant in inner parts. According to estimated spatially averaged velocities, water residence time is lower than two weeks in outer parts of the Ria, and decreases toward the inner zones.
Aberrations of growth factors as biomarkers of cancer progression

Cell proliferation and growth are regulated by a complex network of growth factor and growth inhibitorinitiated signal transduction pathways. The disruption of these signaling pathways through genetic, epigenetic, or somatic alterations is a major area of cancer research. Increasing evidence indicates that oncogenic activation of growth factors and their receptor proteins occur through mutations (oncoproteins) that lead to constitutive activation of the signaling pathways, thus providing the grounds for putative prognostic marker(s) and potential target(s) for treatment of various cancers. Over the past few years, the study of genomics has revealed the gene expression signatures for many malignancies. Present communication outlines literature survey on genomic molecular markers of breast, lung, and prostate cancers. Reassuringly, the dominant genomic markers of these malignancies include oncoproteins and provide a support for their clinical validity as cancer targets. More specifically, this article reviews recent advances in clinical targeting of these malignancies by two types of growth factor/receptors, namely transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and EGFR subfamily of tyrosine kinase receptors including ErbB2. Overexpression of these proteins has been demonstrated in patients with cancer progression and correlated with poor prognosis, increased frequency of metastasis and death. In addition, EGFR and ErbB2 inhibitors have been used in targeted therapy of lung and breast cancer, respectively. Recent investigations of lung cancer have uncovered that EGFR inhibitors have their greatest effect in patients with EGFR somatic mutations thus raising a possibility that EGFR mutations may be a molecular predictors of sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors.
Low-grade inflammation in depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances

Depression, anxiety and sleep disorders have been reported to be associated with low level of inflammation, i.e., low-grade inflammation, but mainly in males. The evidence has mainly been based on laboratory or clinical studies with small sample sizes or epidemiological studies with elderly subpopulations. In this study the association of low-grade inflammation with depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances was investigated using the Northern Finland 1966 Birth Cohort (NFBC 1966). In women, the effect of hormonal factors, menopause and the use of oral contraceptives/hormone replacement therapy on the association between low-grade inflammation and depression was also studied by using the Pieksamaki Study data. In 31-year follow-up of NFBC 1966 (N=6007), the depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed by Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) and sleep disorders by 15-D questionnaires, while the marker of low-grade inflammation, plasma concentration of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), was measured. In the Pieksamaki study a representative sample of inhabitants in the town of Pieksamaki were invited to clinical examination. Depressive symptoms were obtained by Beck’s Depression Inventory-21, and hs-CRP was measured (512 women). The results of this study revealed that at epidemiological level, elevated hs CRP levels of ≥1.0 mg/L increased the probability of current depressive symptoms of single depressive episode in the two highest subgroups (i.e., HSCL-25 mean scores ≥1.75 and ≥2.01) 1.4and 1.7fold in males, respectively. In addition, anxiety symptoms (HSCL-25 anxiety scale mean score ≥1.75) increased independently the probability of elevated hs-CRP levels (>3.0 mg/L) in males over 2-fold. Risk ratio of 1.3 was found for males with moderate to severe sleep disturbances and elevated hs-CRP levels (≥1.0 mg/L). Regarding females, a positive correlation between elevated hs-CRP levels and depressive symptoms was found only among periand postmenopausal women not using exogenous hormones. The results suggest that low-grade inflammation is associated not only with depression but also with anxiety and sleep disturbances in young adult men. In women, hormonal factors may have an effect on the association between low-grade inflammation and depression. Further investigations are called for to confirm these findings and furthermore, to determine the possible role of lowgrade inflammation in the pathophysiology of these disorders.
Investigation of essential oil constituents isolated from Trichodesma africanum (L.) grow wild in Egypt.

Chemical composition of Egyptian Trichodesma africanum (L) essential oil has a few studies, so, this present investigation was carried out to study the essential oil content and chemical composition of Trichodesma africanum (L) plants as a new natural source of essential oil. Plant material was collected from wild plant populations of Trichodesma africanum (L) (family Boraginaceae) growing in sandy soils on Gebel Elba region, Egypt. The essential oils obtained by water distillation from aerial parts of Trichodesma africanum (L) yielded 0.2%. Seventeen constituents representing 86% of the Egyptian Trichodesma africanum (L) essential oil were identified. The major components of Egyptian Trichodesma africanum (L) essential are caryophyllene oxide (15.6%), γ-eudesmol (13.7%), α-muurolene (10.5%), elemol (7.0%), carvone (6.8%) and β-caryophyllene (6.6%). Minor component is α-pinene (0.1%). sesquiterpene hydrocarbons reached its highest concentrations (44.6%).
Dependence on Cultural Contexts of the Factors Influencing Social Acceptance toward Schizophrenia: Evidence from Comparative Study between Japan and Vietnam

This paper explores the factors influencing social acceptance toward persons with schizophrenia by examining the effects of perceived dangerousness, having knowledge, and social instability and investigates these conditions in a cross-cultural comparison of Japan and Vietnam. Social distance scales and random sample survey questionnaires based on vignettes were used to reconstruct social acceptance in Japan (n = 488) and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam (n = 185). Structural equation modeling was applied to explore the relation between social acceptance, perceived dangerousness, beliefs in Western psychiatric treatments, contact with people with schizophrenia, and cohorts having grown up during the Vietnam War. In both countries, contact reduced the perceived dangerousness of persons with schizophrenia and increased their social acceptance. Beliefs in Western psychiatric treatments informed by education-based knowledge, however, intensified perceived dangerousness in Japan, but increased social acceptance in Vietnam. The Vietnamese cohort born during the Vietnam War showed greater social acceptance than others, while no effects were observed in Japanese cohorts. The effects of education-based knowledge emerge differently according to each society’s mental health system history. Social instability seems to change social values and negative social attitudes related to schizophrenia.
Deficits, Gifts, and Bequests

What is the response of aggregate consumption to a deficit-financed tax cut? It is well-known that intergenerational transfers are key to answer this question. I address this issue by studying a heterogeneous-agents overlapping-generations economy with imperfect altruism. The model generates richer and more realistic transfer behavior than a dynastic or an overlapping-generations economy. The model is calibrated to match aggregate data on inter-vivos transfers. I find that the response of aggregate consumption to a deficit-financed tax cut is quantitatively more similar to the overlapping-generations economy's welfare implications, however, tend to be closer to the dynastic economy's.

The Paradoxical Effect of Intercity Transportation and Communications Infrastructure on Urban Concentration: The Dispersion-Concentration Model

This study examines the effect of intercity transportation and communications infrastructure on urban concentration on a sample of 84 countries between the years 1960 and 2010. By comparing the effects of interregional transportation and communications infrastructure on primacy and urbanization, I find that (1) such investments promote population lspersion amongst connected areas and (2) population concentration from unconnected locations into connected ones. Therefore, intercity transportation and communications infrastructure is only effective at reducing excessive concentration when the lspersion effect exceeds the concentration effect.

The Design of a Hardware Thread Manager for a Polymorphic Multimedia Processor

In the past few decades, with the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, the design flow has all been improved. During the same period, computer architecture has evolved from simple uni-processor, to superscalar and VLIW, and to multi-core/many-core parallel computers. During the uni-processor Abstract This paper proposes a hardware thread manager for the polymorphic parallel processor. The thread manager supports the MIMD mode with 8 threads and SIMD mode with multiple threads using the SIMD controllers in a unified approach to manage two operating modes to achieve a mixture of three types of parallel computation. Thread manager monitors the progress of each thread, the activity of near neighbor shared memory and the status of the router. It schedules the execution slots for the threads. It can start and stop a thread, put a thread on wait, resume the execution of a thread. Thread manager can also record the working status of each thread, while avoiding the waiting problem caused by data availability. This manager is able to maximize the efficiency of a processing element in a polymorphic array processor.
Machine Learning Based Trust Computational Model for IoT Services

The Internet of Things has facilitated access to a large volume of sensitive information on each participating object in an ecosystem. This imposes many threats ranging from the risks of data management to the potential discrimination enabled by data analytics over delicate information such as locations, interests, and activities. To address these issues, the concept of trust is introduced as an important role in supporting both humans and services to overcome the perception of uncertainty and risks before making any decisions. However, establishing trust in a cyber world is a challenging task due to the volume of diversified influential factors from cyber-physical-systems. Hence, it is essential to have an intelligent trust computation model that is capable of generating accurate and intuitive trust values for prospective actors. Therefore, in this paper, a quantifiable trust assessment model is proposed. Built on this model, individual trust attributes are then calculated numerically. Moreover, a novel algorithm based on machine learning principles is devised to classify the extracted trust features and combine them to produce a final trust value to be used for decision making. Finally, our model's effectiveness is verified through a simulation. The results show that our method has advantages over other aggregation methods.
Small-Country Effect within Europe: Liquidity Risk, Small-Firm Effect or Other Factors?

This paper studies an anomaly known as the Small-Country Effect, small countries’ tendency to produce higher risk-adjusted stock returns than large countries. I use data from 17 European countries from July 1990 through December 2016 and provide a look to the return characteristics of European national stock markets. I compare the compounded average annual returns between European countries grouped in portfolios based on the market capitalization of their national stock markets. I then regress the value-weighted excess return of each country individually on the sample average compounded return and several risk factors associated with liquidity and small-firm-specific risk. I find no evidence of small countries systematically outperforming large countries in Europe. This result is robust to different risk adjustments. In addition I find the small countries to have worse riskreturn characteristics than large countries, contradicting many previous studies on the subject. Table of contents Abstract
Fracture Toughness of Concrete Containing Fly Ash

The chapter presents results of tests on the effect of the addition of siliceous fly ashes (FA) in the amount of 0, 20, and 30% by weight of cement on the fracture processes in structural concretes. In the course of experiments, measurements of compressive strength of concrete were done as well as fracture toughness for I, II, and III model of cracking was evaluated. During the tests, the effect of age of concretes modified with the additive of fly ashes on analyzed parameters was determined. The experiments were carried out after 3, 7, 28, 90, 180, and 365 days of curing. Fracture toughness of concretes was determined based on the critical stress intensity factors, and then a generalized fracture toughness K c was determined. The properties of composites with the additive of fly ashes depend on the age of the concrete during tests. Twenty percent additive of fly ashes guarantees high fracture toughness in mature concretes, while the additive of fly ashes in the amount of 30% weight of cement has a beneficial effect on the parameters of concrete only after half a year of curing. Both the 20 and 30% additive of fly ashes significantly reduce the fracture toughness at an early age.
