Electrolyzer‐operated gas‐cylinder‐free GC‐FID

A new gas chromatography system, based on the use of a water electrolyzer as its only source of gases, was designed, built, and tested. An electrolyzer-powered flame ionization detector (EFID) served as the GC detector for the sensitive, carbon-selective detection of a broad range of volatile organic compounds. The concept of electrolyzer-operated GC-EFID is based on the use of the electrolyzer-produced oxygen and hydrogen gas mixture for sample desorption and sweeping in a purge-and-trap sampling system, as the analytical column carrier gas and as the only required EFID combustible gas mixture. It was found, as it has been found previously, that standard columns with dimethyl polysiloxane adsorption film could be operated with oxygen up to 200 °C. A styrene-divinylbenzene–based PoraBOND porous-layer open tubular column was used for the GC separation, and it was found that the system could be operated up to 140 °C with the electrolyzer-produced hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture. Thus, the use of a water electrolyzer enabled the creation of a gas-cylinder-free GC-FID system with enhanced transportability and ease of use and with lower cost of operation. The gas-cylinder-free system operation was demonstrated with fast chromatography separation (under 1-min total analysis time) of acetone, ethanol, benzene, toluene, and xylene with an estimated detection limit below 1 ppb. The capability of exhaled human breath analysis for industrial hygiene and medical diagnostic applications is demonstrated. An additional capability of total hydrocarbon content in air analysis is shown and the required minor modifications are discussed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Confidence as a Driver of Private Investment in Selected Countries of Central America

This paper argues that structural weaknesses may make private investment particularly sensitive to business confidence relative to other traditional investment drivers and global shocks. It gauges the importance of confidence over recent years in selected countries in Central America, including Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Using a vector error correction model to carry out the empirical work, a system representing global activity and the domestic economy, including a set of investment drivers (interest rates, unit labor costs, and confidence) is analyzed. The findings suggest that confidence has been, on average, the most important driver of investment in these countries, exceeded only by global factors. Since confidence, arguably, can be influenced by policymakers’ decisions, structural reforms to improve the business climate and reduce uncertainty play an important role in promoting investment and economic growth.
Balancing climate and development goals

Decarbonizing the energy system is a major challenge facing the richest countries, whereas provision of energy services is a major challenge facing the poorest countries. What would be the climate consequences if only richer countries focus on decarbonization, and only poorer countries focus on provision of energy services? To address this question, we create future scenarios in which carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increase according to a historical trend and then start to decline only when countries reach specified income levels. In our central case, we assume that when countries start to decarbonize, they reduce emissions at 2% yr−1. With this assumption and if all countries begin to decarbonize in 2020, the world would be expected to warm by 2.0 °C relative to pre-industrial times. If countries begin to decarbonize only when their per capita gross domestic product (GDP) exceeds $10 000, there would be less than 0.3 °C of additional warming. Yet over half the world’s population currently lives in countries below such an income threshold, and continued direct CO2 emissions by people who live in these countries, while they remain underdeveloped, would increase global average temperature rise by 14% relative to the case, in which all people begin to decarbonize in 2020. The primary concern of developments driven by fossil fuels in lower income countries might relate to issues such as the technological lock-in to high-emission technologies.
A Correlative Study to Assess the Knowledge and Practice of Housewives Regarding Householdwaste Management in Selected Rural Community at Mangalore with a View to Provide an Information Pamphlet

Background: Improper waste management deteriorates public health, degrades quality of life, and polluteslocal air, water and land resources. It also causes global warming and climate change and impacts theentire planet. Environmental problem faced by communities living near garbage dumps and marshy landsinclude air pollution, fires, smoke, flooding etc. Long term health problems like asthma, bronchitis, hepatitis,jaundice, malaria, elephantiasis and typhoid too have been faced by communities. So waste which areconsidered to be hazardous need to be disposed off safely and adequately.Materials and Method: A descriptive correlative research design was used for this study. The samplecomprised of 60 housewives between 18-55 years of age. The sample was drawn through purposive samplingtechnique. The study was carried out in rural community at Mangalore. A structured knowledge questionnairewas used to determine the knowledge of the subjects and practice rating scale was administered to assess thepractice scores of housewives regarding household waste management.Results: Majority of the subjects (65%) were having only average knowledge with knowledge score rangingbetween 0-20 with median 18 and SD 3.01 and majority of the subjects were have moderate practice scoreon waste management with median 20 and SD 3.52. There was a significant relationship between knowledgescore and practice score of the subjects on waste management (r=0.346, df=59.000, p<0.05). Conclusion:The findings of this study suggest that there is a need for educating the mothers regarding the properhousehold waste management. Women take a key role in housekeeping and disposing domestic waste. Sothe Government and frontline health workers need to take special initiatives to curb this public issue.
Social Innovation and Local Development: An Analysis in an Agroenergy Condominium for the Family Agriculture

This article aims to verify how the process of social innovation, resulting from the constitution of an agroenergy condominium in Brazil, was responsible for the promotion of local development. We consider that social innovation promotes development in its multiparadigmatic concept and is an economic means of governance creation. The results show that there were positive implications for the families, the environment and for the technological development. The use of biofuels is an option to the Brazilian energy scenario, since it has reduced transaction costs. But one challenge is the better use of biodigestion residues, used as biofertilizers. This is a developing and costly process compared to traditional fertilizers. There are also challenges regarding the standardization of the distribution of generated energy and technology for the generation of this energy resource. Finally, a model of local development generation based on greater promotion of social innovation is proposed. The findings from this Brazilian research are not limited for use in Brazil only and can be adopted/adapted for application in other countries provided local cultural differences are considered.
Women exiting prostitution: Reports of coercive control in intimate relationships

There is burgeoning research on intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences among women globally. However, there is a dearth of research on IPV experiences among marginalized populations in Western countries. Over the past decade, IPV research has shifted from a focus only on physical and sexual violence to include coercive control experiences. These include a continuum of nonviolent behaviors centered on maintaining dominance over one’s partner. However, the empirical literature on examining coercive control among women in prostitution within non-commercial intimate partners is lacking. In this study, we analyzed interviews with 17 women exiting prostitution and examined reported IPV sexual, physical, and coercive control experiences perpetrated by intimate partners. Our findings revealed that participants experienced extensive physical and sexual IPV as well as physical and non-physical coercive control within non-commercial partner relationships. Coercive control was the most frequent type of abuse reported. All nine investigated coercive control tactics were represented within participants’ descriptions. Of these, exploitation (36%), intimidation (16.3%), degradation (12.5%), and deception (10.0%) were the most commonly identified. Understanding and assessing violent actions and control dynamics within non-commercial intimate partner relationships among women exiting prostitution have important implications for various stakeholders within the criminal justice system.
Simultaneous Determination of Hydrochlorothiazide and Valsartan in Human Plasma by Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Abstract A rapid and specific liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method was described for the simultaneous determination of hydrochlorothiazide and valsartan in human plasma. After extracted from plasma using methanol, hydrochlorothiazide, valsartan and hydroflumethiazide, irbesartan, used as the internal standard, respectively, were chromatographically analyzed on a Phenomenex Kromasil C8 column with water and methanol (27:73, v/v) as the mobile phase. Selected reaction monitoring was specific for mass detection employing negative electrospray ionization. The calibration standards were linear over the concentration range (3.13–800 ng/ml for hydrochlorothiazide and 11.72–3000 ng/ml for valsartan). The method was found to be suitable for application to a pharmacokinetic study after oral administration of dispersible tablet containing 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide and 80 mg valsartan to 20 healthy volunteers.
Automatic Colorization of Anime Style Illustrations Using a Two-Stage Generator

Line-arts are used in many ways in the media industry. However, line-art colorization is tedious, labor-intensive, and time consuming. For such reasons, a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based image-to-image colorization method has received much attention because of its promising results. In this paper, we propose to use color a point hinting method with two GAN-based generators used for enhancing the image quality. To improve the coloring performance of drawing with various line styles, generator takes account of the loss of the line-art. We propose a Line Detection Model (LDM) which is used in measuring line loss. LDM is a method of extracting line from a color image. We also propose histogram equalizer in the input line-art to generalize the distribution of line styles. This approach allows the generalization of the distribution of line style without increasing the complexity of inference stage. In addition, we propose seven segment hint pointing constraints to evaluate the colorization performance of the model with Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) score. We present visual and qualitative evaluations of the proposed methods. The result shows that using histogram equalization and LDM enabled line loss exhibits the best result. The Base model with XDoG (eXtended Difference-Of-Gaussians)generated line-art with and without color hints exhibits FID for colorized images score of 35.83 and 44.70, respectively, whereas the proposed model in the same scenario exhibits 32.16 and 39.77, respectively.
Influence of Government Subsidies for Green Technology Development on the Performance of Chinese New-Energy Automobile Enterprises

Recently, facing situations of insufficient energy and harsh environmental conditions, new-energy vehicles begin to enter people’s lives. But considering many factors such as price and market acceptance development of new-energy automobile market must not lack government incentives. In recent two years, the government’s subsidy for green technology development to new-energy automobile enterprises has entered the post-subsidy era. To explore the sustainable development of new-energy automobile enterprises, Foton automobile was selected as the research object and the scale of government subsidy for green technology development to Foton automobile was clearly defined, the performance was analyzed by using multiple regression method. Results show that government subsidy and tax return for green technology development have a positive effect on Foton automobile’s performance, environmental regulation stringency has a significant positive moderating effect. Referring to the conclusions, some suggestions were put forward for Foton automobile’s future development and the development of newenergy automobile industry.
Upscaling Extent vs. Information Loss in Reservoir Upscaling

Abstract Upscaling has become an increasingly important tool in recent years for converting highly detailed geological models of a reservoir to simulation grids. The main idea of upscaling is to replace a number of heterogeneous fine grid blocks with one equivalent coarse homogeneous grid block. The common method of upscaling is to replace more than one different value with an effective one. So, the essence of upscaling is averaging. It goes without saying that some information loss in upscaling is inevitable. Studies show that upscaling extent (UE) has a strong positive correlation with information loss. So, in reservoir upscaling, large UE should try to be avoided, especially greater than 0.4.
ROLE OF R2TP COMPLEX IN LYMPHOMA AND ITS THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL

The R2TP complex which comprises of RUVBL1, RUVBL2, PIH1D1 and RPAP3 in humans is known to be a specialized Co-chaperone of Hsp-90 protein. This multimeric-protein complex is involved in the assembly and maturation of several multi-subunit complexes including RNA polymerase II, small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins, and complexes containing phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-like kinases. Since their discovery as a co-chaperone of Hsp90, the R2TP complex is involved in multitude of cellular processes including, chromatin remodelling, transcription regulation, ribonucleoprotein complex biogenesis, mitotic assembly, telomerase complex assembly, and apoptosis. Lymphoma arises from the abnormal proliferation of B-cells and the R2TP complex have been reported to play an important role in the activation of p53 and RB. Therefore, the inactivation in any of the tumor suppressor pathways can drive cells to malignancy.However, there are multiple factors which may contribute towards malignancy but the folding defects in these tumor suppressor pathways could be one of the reasons. R2TP is tightly linked with oncogenesis and its inhibition can decrease the proliferation activity of cancer cells. So, the multisubunit chaperone complex as well as its components could be promising candidates for cancer chemotherapy.
Increased Levels of De-oiled Perilla Seed Meal in Broiler Diets to Enhance n-3 Fatty Acid Proportions and Improve Efficiency Levels

De-oiled perilla seed (Perilla frutescens L.), referred to as perilla meal, is rich in α-linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3). The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of increasing levels of perilla meal in broiler diets to modify the fatty acid composition and other properties of meat quality. Two-hundred broilers were divided into five groups and fed diets with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% perilla meal. The breast and thigh meat of the broilers, slaughtered at 42 days of age, were subjected to in-depth physicochemical and sensory analyses. The results showed that perilla meal efficiently modified the fatty acid compositions of the lipids of both muscles. Saturated fatty acids declined, especially C14:0 and C16:0, whereas monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) increased significantly in both muscle groups. The C14:1, C16:1, and C18:3 n-3 levels were found to be significantly different between treatment groups, in which the highest values were noticed in the perilla meal groups. Small increases in n-6 fatty acids resulted in commensurate decreases in n-6:n-3 ratios. Increased C18:3 n-3 proportions, as well as extended oxidative stability, were observed particularly in the 2% perilla meal inclusion. Perilla meal also increased protein content and water holding capacity (WHC), and decreased fat content and shear force; whereas the sensory evaluations were unchanged in both portions of meat.
ASS in der Primär- und Sekundärprävention kardiovaskulärer Erkrankungen

Das bereits im Jahr 1899 durch die Bayer AG patentierte Medikament Aspirin wird seit nunmehr knapp 120 Jahren erfolgreich in der Medizin eingesetzt [2]. ASS wird pharmakologisch der Gruppe der nicht steroidalen Antirheumatika zugeordnet. Es wirkt antipyretisch, antiinflammatorisch, analgetisch sowie antithrombotisch als Thrombozytenaggregationshemmer. Abhängig von der Indikationsstellung kann es sowohl peroral (p. o.) als auch intravenös (i. v.) verabreicht werden [3].
Adsorção de metais pesados em serragem de madeira tratada com ácido cítrico

In the present work, the exchange capacity of Manilkara longifolia sawdust, chemically modified, was studied. The modification was carried out by a chemical treatment with citric acid, which introduced carboxilate groups in the material surface. The introduction of these groups was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Cadmium and copper sorption was studied batchwise. Isotherms were drawn and adjusted to the Langmuir model. Maximum loadings of 0.56 mmolCd/g and 0.94 mmolCu/g were achieved in single metal adsorption. Cadmium uptake was reduced from 0.56 mmolCd/g to 0.21 mmolCd/g as the copper concentration increased in the reaction system. These results show that there is a competition between the two metals for the exchange sites.
Keylogger for Windows using Python

The proposed point Keylogger which is likewise called as keystroke logger is a product that tracks or logs the key struck on your console, regularly in a mystery way that you have no clue about that your activities are being observed. Most of the people tend to see only bad side of this particular software but it also has legitimate use. Aside from being utilized for vindictive purpose like gathering account data, Visa numbers, client names, passwords, and other private information, it can be used in office to check on your employees, at home to monitor your children’s activities and by law enforcement to examine and follow occurrences connected to the utilization of PCs. The project will be completely based on Python where I will make use of pynput module which is not a standard python module and needs to be installed. The software that I am going to build should monitor the keyboard movement and stores the output in a file. To elevate the project I will also add a feature where the logs will be directly sent to the e-mail
A new method of decision tree based transient stability assessment using hybrid simulation for real‐time PMU measurements

In recent years, machine learning (ML) techniques have gained popularity in facilitating real-time transient stability assessment and prediction for early detection of blackouts in power systems. Conventionally, synchrophasor measurements, as the real-time indicators of system dynamics, are fed into the ML-based models. However, if the quality of the synchrophasors used in the process of developing and application of the ML models is not validated, these models could suffer from unreliability issues due to the unrealistic quantities obtained through simulations and due to the interference of erroneous measurements encountered during their application. In this paper, after investigating the properties of different simulation methods, a new hybrid-type simulator that generates a realistic dataset in a feasible time is proposed. Using this simulator, the distortion of the time-series data due to the dynamics of practical phasor measurement units (PMUs) following a disturbance is analysed and the intervals in which the PMU measurements are signiﬁcantly erroneous are determined. Moreover, a new method of time-series data arrangement for the dataset to be used in ML models is proposed. With this method, the erroneous parts of the time-series measurements are effectively removed, while the remaining relevant information is retained to enhance the transient stability prediction accuracy.
Close Encounters of a Heterogeneous Kind: Understanding the Differential Impact of Social Distancing on COVID-19 Infections and Deaths

We investigate the relationship between social distancing, as measured by encounter rates using cellphone proximity data, and COVID-19 infections and deaths. Consistent with the existing literature on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions, we find a positive and statistically significant relationship between the encounter rate and new infections and deaths. However, the magnitude of this effect is relatively weak. One explanation for this weak effect is that the effectiveness of social distancing varies across counties due to local population heterogeneity. To this end, we interact the encounter rate with county-level characteristics and find that several of these interaction terms are statistically significant. Furthermore, after controlling for these interaction terms, we find that the effect of social distancing is around 20 times larger than the effect size found in estimates without the interactions.
Adsorption of Glutaric Acid and Glyoxylic Acid onto Weakly Basic Ion-Exchange Resin: Equilibrium and Kinetics

Adsorption equilibria of glutaric acid and glyoxylic acid on a weakly basic ion-exchanger which has a tertiary amine functional group were investigated experimentally and theoretically in this study. Amberlite IRA-67 was used as the ion-exchange resin. The time to reach an equilibrium state, effects of amount of adsorbent, temperature, and initial acid concentrations on adsorption efficiency and distribution coefficient of acid adsorption were investigated, experimentally. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption isotherms were calculated. The equilibrium isotherms were significantly dependent on initial acid concentration. The Langmuir isotherm was found to best represent the data for both acids. The adsorption of both acids followed pseudosecond-order kinetics. Diffusion is not the only rate-controlling step.
