Research on Grid Parity Predictions of Centralized Photovoltaic Electricity

ABSTRACT Over the past decade, the photovoltaic (PV) industry in China has made great progress. However, this progress benefited from a series of subsidy policies, and with the continuous enlargement of the scale of centralized PV (CPV), the large subsidies have created great pressure on government finance, so achieving grid parity in CPV electricity is an urgent matter. This paper studies the grid parity of CPV electricity. First, this paper calculates the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of CPV electricity. Second, using historical data and a dual learning curve, the paper predicts the LCOE of CPV electricity under scenarios with different resource zones and utilization times. Third, the paper predicts the LCOE of coal-fired electricity and draws conclusions based on changes in the price of coal and charcoal. Finally, the paper predicts when grid parity in CPV electricity in different resources areas will be achieved.
Fiber-Optic Plasmonic Sensor Utilizing CTAB-Functionalized ZnO Nanoparticle-Decorated Carbon Nanotubes on Silver Films for the Detection of Catechol in Wastewater

A silver thin film based fiber optic plasmonic sensor for the detection of phenolic analyte, catechol, is elicited in the present study. The sensor relies on the interaction of catechol with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) functionalized zinc oxide/carbon nanotubes (ZnO/CNTs) nanocomposite coated over the silver film. A simple sol gel method is reported for the synthesis of the nanocomposite. The morphological, elemental and structural characterizations of the nanocomposite are confirmed by various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The sensor’s performance is studied for the catechol concentration range 0 to 100 µM. The fabricated probe shows efficiency in a very wide pH range depending on the concentration of CTAB utilized in the preparation of the probe. Various operational parameters are adjusted to obtain the optimum sensor performance. Efficiently reproducible and selective performance is obtained after analyzing various possible interferands like dopamine, ascorbic acid (AA), hydrazin.

The results of this study provide a foundation of theory and practice for organizational changes that can efficiently exploit the human resource for the development in the next period.
Emergency Embolization of a Rupture of the Left Colic Aneurysm

An ultrasound examination, performed on a 72-year-old woman in the Emergency Department due to acute lumbar pain, showed a large buildup of blood in the pre-sacral space. The patient had previously undergone to a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The CTA, performed after two hours, due to a sudden hemorrhagic shock (arterial pressure 90/50), showed a large retroperitoneal hematoma and an aneurysm at greater longitudinal axis of 18 mm of a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery (Figure1a, Figure 1b and Figure 1c). Generally this would indicate a traumatic or iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm.
Co-registration of Bioluminescence Tomography and Anatomical Imaging Modalities for Cell Tracking and Source Quantification

Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a molecular imaging tool that provides three-dimensional, quantitative reconstructions of bioluminescent sources in vivo. A main limitation of BLT to date, however, has been a lack of validation and demonstrated utility in preclinical research. An approach employing a fusion of BLT with other, well-established imaging modalities was used in this work to validate results obtained with BLT and improve the performance of source quantification. In the first chapter of this thesis, a method was developed to co-register BLT to magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) anatomical data for tracking cell transplants using a specialized animal holder. Using a luciferaseexpressing tumor model in mice, MRI was shown to be superior at locating cells while BLT provided a more sensitive measure of cell proliferation. A multimodal approach incorporating BLT can therefore provide a better understanding of cell dynamics in vivo in preclinical research than with anatomical imaging alone. In the second chapter of this thesis, anatomical MRI and CT images were segmented to provide hard spatial priors to quantify the power of calibrated luminescent sources implanted in mice. To do this, a finite element (FEM) implementation of the diffusion approximation was used as a forward model for light propagation and validated through a phantom experiment. Source powers quantified using hard prior information showed a 65% reduction in average
Low-fee Private Schooling: Poor Households’ Struggle to Support Their Children’s School Attendance in Unauthorized Colonies in Delhi, India

ABSTRACT The growth of private schools in India has contributed significantly to increased student enrollment but also raises certain questions, such as how parents living in informal settlements can support their children’s school attendance and seek alternative options, such as private schools, for their children. This paper addresses these under-researched aspects by focusing on the concerns of Muslim parents (who have a minority status in India) living in unauthorized colonies in relation to selecting a school. The data were generated through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Drawing upon data from 13 principals and 35 households in unauthorized colonies in Delhi, India, the key findings suggest that parents face difficult conundrums due to geographic and social background constraints. Issues regarding the selection of private schools and the challenges of finding schools are discussed. This study provides a different context that should be used to inform policymakers and educators examining schooling options for marginalized communities/parents in illegal settlements.
ALOIS ALZHEIMER and ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

“Alois” Alzheimer (14 June 1864 – 19 December 1915) was a German psychiatrist and neuropathologist. Alzheimer is credited with identifying the fi rst published case of “presenile dementia”, which Kraepelin would later identify as Alzheimer’s disease. Alois Alzheimer observed a patient at the Frankfurt named Auguste D (Deter). The 51-year-old patient had strange behavioral symptoms, including a loss of short-term memory. In April 1906, Deter died and Alzheimer had the patient records and the brain brought to Munich where he was working at Kraepelin’s lab. He would use the staining techniques to identify amyloid plaques and neurofi brillary tangles. A speech given on November 1906 was the fi rst time the pathology and the clinical symptoms of the disease were presented together. Alzheimer’s disease destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases. Has no current cure.
Culturally Diverse Teaching Competence of Teachers as Perceived by Students at an International University in Thailand

As higher education institutions deal with the increase of international students, teachers areincreasingly concerned with the potential challenges in dealing with teaching and learning ina culturally diverse classroom. The purpose of this study is to examine the level of culturallydiverse teaching competence of teachers in international higher education institutions. Thecultural diverse teaching competence is measured based on the five dimensions typology ofmulticultural education. They are awareness, relationship, instruction, respect, and prejudice.A cross-sectional survey design was employed with a sample of 241 participants was takenfrom a university located in Thailand. The results of the students thought that teachers weremost competent at building respect for diversity and that teachers were least competent atgeneral cultural awareness and combating prejudice. In addition, the majority of studentscome from single cultural and become more multicultural as they progress through school.Lastly, there were differences in cultural competence when comparisons were made byfaculty.

The effects of parents place of birth and ethnicity on birth outcomes in New Jersey.

This study was conducted to investigate the roles of birthplace and ethnicity on prenatal care usage and birth weight in New Jersey. Analysis found non-Hispanic US-born Blacks to be consistently and dramatically at risk compared to all other groups of receiving no prenatal care and having low-birth-weight babies. The rate of low birth weight was 1.5 times higher than the second most at risk group. US-born non-Hispanic Blacks also had the highest rate of obtaining no prenatal care making them at least twice as likely to go without care as any other group. Moreover the rate of late care among US-born non-Hispanic Blacks was second only to that of foreign-born Mexicans. In contrast non-Hispanic US-born Whites in New Jersey are at the lowest risk of receiving no care obtaining late care and delivering a low-birth-weight baby. Race therefore seems to be the most important demographic risk factor for both inadequate prenatal care and low birth weight. The risk factors were not however held constant when making comparisons by race. The authors stress the importance of examining such factors carefully when making racial inferences from their analysis. The primary data set used in this study contained 1989 and 1990 files which linked Vital Statistics birth records with uniform billing hospital discharge data collected by the New Jersey Department of Health.
Pulmonary venous hypertension

The chest radiograph reflects quite accurately the sequence of lung water accumulation as it may result from conditions of acute and chronic left heart dysfunction leading to pulmonary venous hypertension. Filtration and reabsorption of liquids is a rather dynamic process that occurs in the lung extravascular space, a delicate space working as both a gas and liquid exchanger. Interference of lung liquid accumulation with the gas exchange function is the most relevant clinical consequence of pulmonary venous hypertension. Lymphatics respond slowly to the increased filtration rate secondary to acute pulmonary venous hypertension, whereas the long-standing disequilibrium of liquid exchange in chronic conditions induces several adaptive changes in lung tissue and lymphatics. Thus, there might be lower amounts of lung oedema for the same level of pulmonary venous hypertension in chronic with respect to acute left heart failure conditions. Knowledge of chest radiographic signs of acute and chronic pulmonary venous hypertension allows better understanding of patients’ clinical conditions. Radiographic scoring of pulmonary interstitial oedema and assessment of vascular pedicle width is recommended to determine extravascular lung liquid balance and intravascular volume status in critically ill patients.

Research report Modal subcomponents of metabolic syndrome in patients with bipolar disorder

Background: The metabolic syndrome is a growing global public health problem. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence rate and modal subcomponents of the metabolic syndrome in subjects treated at the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration Medical Center Bipolar Clinic. Methods: In this cross-sectional design study, using the National Cholesterol Education Program definition, metabolic syndrome prevalence rates were calculated. Results: 48/98 (49%) of subjects met criteria for metabolic syndrome. There was no difference in prevalence rate by gender or race. Almost 70% of the cohort met criteria for metabolic syndrome by the components of reduced HDL and increased waist circumference. Treatment with carbamazepine at study entry was associated with a lower prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome. Limitations and conclusions: This study is limited by its small size and non-structured assessment of Axis I diagnosis. Nonetheless, bipolar patients in this select cohort have high rates of metabolic syndrome; given this cardiovascular risk, close clinical monitoring for these parameters is recommended. While not controlling for genetics, environmental influences, and/or medical factors such as additional comorbidity and treatment duration, psychotropic drug use may confer differential risk for developing the metabolic syndrome.
Volkswirtschaftlicher Nutzen der Gesundheitseffekte der körperlichen Aktivität: erste Schätzungen für die Schweiz

Die Bedeutung des Bewegungsmangels als Risikofaktor für eine ganze Reihe von chronischen Krankheiten wie auch das Potential von körperlicher Aktivität als vielfältiger Gesundheitsressource ist in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur gut belegt. Aktuelle Daten zum Bewegungsverhalten der Schweizer Bevölkerung zeigen, dass der Anteil der aus gesundheitlicher Sicht körperlich ungenügend Aktiven gross und weiter im Steigen begriffen ist. Erstmals wurde von der Abteilung für medizinische Ökonomie des Instituts für Sozial- und Präventivmedizin und des Universitätsspitals Zürich eine Studie durchgeführt, in der der volkswirtschaftliche Nutzen der Gesundheitseffekte der körperlichen Aktivität für die Schweiz untersucht wurde. Nach diesen Schätzungen verhindert die aktuelle körperliche Aktivität einer Mehrheit der Schweizer Bevölkerung heute schon 2.3
Use of herbal medicines among pregnant women a attending antenatal clinic at Kiryandongo General Hospital, Uganda

Objective: To assess the knowledge and use of herbal medicines among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at Kiryandongo general hospital. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study Setting: Kiryandongo general hospital in Masindi District, mid-western Uganda. Subjects: Four hundred (400) pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) were interviewed about their knowledge and use of herbal medicines during pregnancy using self-administered questionnaires, during the months of July and August 2013. Results: Of the 400 women who participated in the study, majority 246 (61.5%)was in the age range of 18 to 24 years old, married 379 (94.8%), stayed in a rural setting 293 (73.3%),had attained primary education 239(59.8%),peasant farmers 209 (52.3%), in monogamous marriage 247 (64.2%), of prime gravidae 117 (29.2%), and Banyoro by tribe 89 (22.3%). Three hundred and fifty (87.5%)of the respondents reported to have ever heard about the use of herbal medicines during pregnancy, with 169 (48.3%) reported having used herbal medicines during previous pregnancies or in the months prior to the study. One hundred and thirty two (37.7%) where found to be using herbal medicines at the time of the study, with the majority of them one hundred and eleven (84.1%) admitting that they will be using herbal medicines again in subsequent pregnancies. One hundred and fifty three (43.7%)considered herbal medicines to be safe during pregnancy and preferred them to conventional medicines because they have low side effects, are cheap and easy to access, and it is part of their tradition to use them during pregnancy.One hundred and ten (31.4%) believed that these herbs are neither dangerous to the mother nor the foetus. Conclusion: More efficient ways are required to educate the general population about the dangers of self-medication during pregnancy especially to advise pregnant mothers not to expose their unborn child to the risks of herbal medicines. Pharmacological and case control studies will be vital in assessing the efficacy and risks associated with herbal medicine use during pregnancy. Midwives, obstetricians and General Practitioners should facilitate women’s wishes without condemnation, but this must be tempered with accurate information.
Assessment of Microbial, Physicochemical Quality and Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Bacteria of Drinking Water at Santosh, Tangail, Bangladesh

Water is one of the most important elements for survival but unfortunately the pollution of these elements is an alarming problem. For leading a healthy life, water should be contamination free from any kinds of water-borne organisms. Water-borne pathogens are a leading cause of disease and death worldwide. The quality of drinking water plays an important role in human infection and disease. The present work was carried out with the assessment of physicochemical and bacteriological profile of several untreated drinking water sources to ensure its suitability for using drinking purposes. Total 12 samples were randomly selected and collected from Santosh, Tangail district of Bangladesh by following the standard procedure. Bacteriological analysis was carried out by following the standard bacteriological methods. Obtained results showed that water of the study area is slightly alkaline and no remarkable variation in the temperature of the water in different locations. In case of most of the water bodies, different physicochemical properties were below standard limit stipulated by WHO. In all water bodies, the Total Viable Count (TVC) ranged from 1.3 × 106 to 4.0 × 107 cfu/100ml and Total Coliform Count (TCC) was 1.05 × 105 to 6.4 × 106 cfu/100 ml, where the Total E. coli Count (TEC) and Total Shigella-Salmonella Count (TSS) was ranged from 7.2 × 103 to 1.1 × 105 cfu/100 ml and 6.1 × 103 to 5.3 × 104 cfu/100 ml respectively. The total counts of these pathogenic bacteria exceeded the acceptable limit and that is dangerous for drinking. On the other hand, the isolated organisms also showed resistance against a broad range of commercially available antibiotics. Survey-based result revealed that, peoples of the study area who were drinking these water, were suffering from various water-borne diseases and that was a major threat to public health. Considering the above issues public awareness, proper water treatment and necessary steps should be taken by the government and authority or necessary steps should be taken for alternative safe source of drinking water.
Chargeable in Court vs. Insanity-Mental Illness

A person can be considered chargeable (responsible for a crime) in the court if proved having a Psychopathic personality. This means that the individual doesn’t suffer from a mental illness and so, thus not qualifying it for the category of non chargeable or insanity. The insanity category includes the mental illnesses, summarized in the DSM-IV, in which the person is not aware of the acts committed at the time of the crime, so he can ́t be blamed by the court for the acts committed. Psychopathy as mentioned, not being a mental illness, invokes that the accused is fully aware of the acts he has committed in a specific time, or even years, and nevertheless he decides to commit them repeatedly, regardless of the consequences that may result when he is captured, like the eminent incarceration of life time, death penalty by lethal injection (in the majority of US stated), by hanging (e.g. Delaware), electric chair, gas chambers like Wyoming or even by firing (squadron platoon) in Oklahoma and Utah, this last one, only if request by the criminal person, being the last death by firing in 2010. In general terms, Psychopathy is considered to be a personality disorder (not mental illness), in which the individual is fully aware of the malicious acts his practicing and their consequences in the case of being discovered [1].
Global Studies of Using Fecal Biomarkers in Predicting Relapse in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract mainly comprising two forms including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IBD is a lifelong relapsing remitting disease and relapses occur at random patterns which are unpredictable. Fecal biomarkers have been increasingly used to assess disease activity in IBD due to their positive correlations with intestinal inflammation. Recent studies have also assessed the use of fecal biomarkers in predicting relapse and post-operative recurrence. This review provides information from global studies of using fecal calprotectin, lactoferrin and S100A12 to predict relapse in IBD. Strategies for further studies and the use of these fecal biomarkers for personalized management in IBD are also discussed.
