Inner-Core Vacillation Cycles of Hurricane Katrina in a Non-Hydrostatic Model

Hydrostatic simulations of Hurricane Katrina (2005) conducted in a previous study with the Tropical Cyclone Limited Area Prediction System (TCLAPS) exhibit inner-core vacillations between highly asymmetric and nearly symmetric phases. The mean azimuthal low level potential vorticity (PV) structure shows the shape of approximately circular PV rings in symmetric phases which frequently break down to one or several monopolar PV anomalies that propagate centerwards. This process, named vacillation cycles (VCs), was so far only studied at a horizontal resolution of 5 km which is possibly near the limit of validity of hydrostatic balance, particularly in regions of deep convection. The objective of this study was to investigate how VCs are influenced by more realistically resolved vertical exchanges in a non-hydrostatic model. The PV fields are interpreted in terms of PV thinking, specifically the structure in low level PV and the relevant process that dictate its evolution. For this purpose multiple simulations of Katrina were conducted using the non-hydrostatic Weather and Research Forecast (WRF) model. It was found that VCs are an important factor for the intensification of Katrina in the WRF model. In asymmetric phases the low level potential vorticity (PV) exhibits an asymmetric shape with one or several vortical hot towers (VHTs) that locally generate high magnitudes of PV and vertical updrafts. These PV anomalies detach from their parent convective VHTs and wrap themselves cyclonically into the center – a mechanism named cyclonic vortex Rossby wave (VRW) breaking. In symmetric phases the vortex appears to have a more symmetric shape with an azimuthally uniform shape in the low level PV and in the vertical velocity in the eyewall. In the transition from symmetric to asymmetric phases VHTs accelerate the mean circulation while the pressure is deepening rapidly. Cyclonic VRW breaking stirs PV from the radius of maximum wind (RMW) towards the center of the vortex. After maximum asymmetry the pressure decreases slower or is constant while the eyewall recovers its circular shape. Ensemble simulations demonstrate the low predictability of VCs: although the patterns of VCs appear in all simulations, the time of occurrence, duration and magnitude of the intensification during the individual phases are different.

Cultural Machine Translation – Challenges and Solutions*

Translation is not the mere act of literal conversion of a word from one language to another, but rather an intricate process of unravelling the inherent meaning that exist in the original text and of finding ways to faithfully express it through the host language [1]. The biggest challenge for human translators and even more so for machine translation (MT) is the ability to correctly understand the cultural nuances of what is written or said. Polysemy stands at the core of the misreading, misconception, and misinterpretation of a word, phrase and sentence. Sources of polysemy range from the use of slang, dialect, hegemony, stereotyping, and biases – factors that reside in cultural semantics. Hence for a successful MT, a multi-layered foundation that pays very close attention to cultural semantics, with the intricate interdependency of a word on its cultural context within its immediate and removed neighboring words and sentences properly captured needs to be laid out. Whereas MT has been a success story when dealing with simple texts such as in the menu in the coffee shop, weather report, road sign, etc., it is less so when dealing with complex and nuanced texts. There are there major thrusts in MT research dealing with word disambiguation, paraphrasing and alignment between bitexts. In this talk we concentrate on word/phrase/sentence disambiguation. We propose a language model (MRF Gibbs model [2]) that embeds a multi-layered key words dependencies built on a semantic graph to help lexically disambiguate word, phrases, and sentences that lend themselves to different possible meaning and interpretations. The model looks at semantics cliques of words (key words) and assigns Gibbs potentials and conditional probabilities in proportion to the importance and degree of interactions between a given word and its neighbors within the clique. The joint probability of words in a sentence, paragraph, or whole text, is expressed in terms of the product of these Gibbs conditional probabilities of
DETERMINATION OF DIAGNOSTIC POTENTIAL OF CORE ANTIGEN DETECTION TEST FOR THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF HEPATITIS C VIRUS INFECTION

Objective: The aim of present study was to determine the diagnostic potential of indigenously developed rapid immunochromatographic test detecting hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen for the early detection of HCV infection. Materials and Methods: Total 79 nos. of anti-HCV antibody positive serum samples including 10 nos. of serum samples which were very weak anti-HCV antibody positive in Elisa (Ortho Diagnostics) and negative in rapid immunoassay (Standard Diagnostics) for the presence of anti-HCV antibody, 19 nos. of weak anti-HCV antibody positive serum samples, 23 nos. of moderate anti-HCV antibody positive serum samples, 27 nos. of anti-HCV antibody strong positive serum samples and 02 nos. of NAT (Nucleic Acid Test) positive (negative for anti-HCV antibody) serum samples were tested. All anti-HCV antibody positive samples were tested in antiHCV antibody detection Elisa (Ortho Diagnostics) and anti-HCV antibody detection rapid immunoassay (Standard Diagnostics) for determination of their status. In addition to above mentioned anti-HCV antibody positive serum samples, two seroconversion panels from BBI Diagnostic were also tested. Total 509 nos. of anti-HCV antibody negative serum samples including 200 nos. of normal healthy donors serum samples, 54 nos. of other diseases positive serum samples, 105 nos. of interfering substances containing serum samples and 150 nos. of clinical serum samples were tested. Results and Discussion: HCV core antigen was detected in all very weak anti-HCV antibody positive serum samples, which were found negative in rapid immunoassay and positive in anti-HCV antibody detection Elisa. However HCV core antigen was detected in 17 nos. of serum samples out of 23 nos. of moderate anti-HCV antibody positive serum samples and 01 nos. of sample out of 27 nos. of strong anti-HCV antibody positive serum samples. In seroconversion panel testing HCV core antigen detected approximately 12 days earlier than the detection of anti-HCV antibodies. In testing of anti-HCV antibody negative samples, no false positive reaction was observed and hence developed HCV core antigen detection assay was found 100% specific. Conclusion: HCV core antigen detection rapid test has good diagnostic potential for the early detection of HCV infection as anti-HCV antibody very weak positive serum samples which were not detected in rapid immunoassay detecting anti-HCV antibodies those samples could be detected for the presence of HCV infection by detecting HCV core antigen in rapid immunoassay. Only NAT test positive samples were also detected positive in core antigen detection test. In seroconversion panel study, early detection (approx. 12 days) could be done by HCV core antigen detection rapid test. However HCV core antigen detection assay should be
Factors Contributing to Pupils’ Poor Performance in Literature in English

At present, Literature in English is taught as an elective subject in some Zambian secondary schools; it is only offered at senior secondary level (Grade 10 – 12). The subject is allocated four periods per week. Each period lasts forty minutes. In total, the subject has 160 minutes per week (CDC, 2013; Simuchimba, 2016). Teachers of Literature in English are expected to help learners navigate through the set texts in order to fully comprehend the texts. They are also expected to avail learners an opportunity to interact with the texts by reading the texts in depth, not only for the purpose of passing the Literature final examinations, but more so to help them find pleasure in literary texts.
Regionalism as a Path to Free Trade

This paper analyses endogenous customs union (CU) and free trade area (FTA) formation in an oligopolistic setting with differentiated products. For both a CU and an FTA, it derives explicitly an ’Ohyama-Kemp-Wan’ (OKW) external tariff such that non-members are not being hurt by trade bloc formation. It shows how this tariff depends on the degree of competition within the trade bloc and on governmental political preferences, and it provides conditions under which the welfare of trade bloc members improves. Under these conditions, trade blocs form a path to free trade.
Internal constituent variability and semantic transparency in N Prep N constructions in Romance languages

Constructions of the type N Prep N represent one of the most controversial issues in Romance word formation. In particular, their lexical status and their degree of productivity are still crucial points of discussion. Hence, it remains unclear whether these constructions fall within the category of morphological word formation or of syntax. Furthermore, the possibilities for internal prepositional variation remain uncertain. This article takes a constructionist approach within the framework of construction morphology in order to describe the internal constituent variability and transparency of the prepositional element in N Prep N constructions in Spanish, Portuguese, and French, as in Sp. juego de niños, juego para niños (‘kid’s game’) or in Sp. cabaña de árbol and cabaña en árbol (‘tree house’). A qualitative analysis of large-scale corpus data from the TenTen corpus family indicates that Romance N Prep N constructions may undergo internal prepositional variation. The analysis focuses on the semantic relations of the internal nominal constituents and the semantic transparency of the constructions in the three Romance languages under investigation. The results indicate that semantic relations and semantic transparency play a role in the internal constituent variability of the prepositional element.

La necropsia en campo: un servicio agregado en la medicina veterinaria rural

This paper aims to describe field necropsy techniques, the conditions of sending samples to different laboratories, and their added value in rural veterinary medicine. Necropsy must be ordered, systematic, and complete, in order to extract as much information as possible from the corpse, so as to determine the cause of death or the presence of a particular pathology. In addition, correctly performed necropsy will allow for an adequate sampling. In relation to necropsy costs, official and private services oscillate between 80 and 150 dollars, with the animal or corpse sent to the necropsy room of a diagnostic center. In case of necropsies with medico-legal connotations, including insured animals, prices range between 500 and 2500 dollars. These prices may have a 15 to 20% increase in the field, taking into account travel to the examination site/ranch (distance-mileage), and it may also vary according to the number of dead animals, which represents an added service for the field veterinarian/rural veterinarian, which somewhat increases the annual net economic gains for rural veterinary business.
What is the incidence of and risk factors in adductor injuries in professional rugby union players

Objectives: To quantify the incidence and risk factors of adductor injuries in professional rugby union (RU) players. Design: Retrospective audit of the 2006/07 season and literature review including RU, Rugby league and Soccer. Participants: Physiotherapists in 13 professional RU teams with 604 players in England, New Zealand and Scotland. Main Outcome Measures: Incidence and risk factors in relation to adductor injuries. Results: The incidence of adductor injuries in professional RU was 0.07 injuries/player. 58% resulted in loss of more than 3 weeks training or match time. 58% of injuries required surgical intervention. 63% of injuries occurred in the first half of the season. The majority of injuries were to backs (63%). The outside half/number 10 was the position with the highest incidence, followed by centers and flankers. A history of injury is a significant risk factor with the players with an injury having a far higher incidence of previous adductor injury (0.33/player) compared to the total population (0.11/player). Conclusion: The incidence of adductor injuries in the audit was 0.07 injuries/player, similar to the previous studies. Injuries tend to be severe and surgical intervention is common. Injuries tend to occur in the first half of the season, backs are affected more than forwards, especially the outside half/number 10 and previous adductor injury is an important risk factor.
Angle Resolved XPS

Using angle resolved XPS (ARXPS), it is possible to characterize ultra-thin films without sputtering. In most cases, ARXPS can be considered to be a non-destructive technique. It therefore has the potential to probe subsurface chemical states that would be destroyed by sputtering. From ARXPS data, it is possible to calculate the thickness and depth of ultra-thin layers and to construct a concentration depth profile. The technique relies upon the fact that the information depth of XPS is < 10 nm, depending upon the material and the kinetic energy of the electron being measured. This document provides a brief description of the models used by Thermo Fisher Scientific in the treatment of ARXPS data. It begins with the mathematical basis for the measurement of layer thickness using ARXPS. The equations associated with the Beer-Lambert law and its application to the measurement of single and multiple overlayer thickness are described. Complicating features such as angular asymmetry and elastic scattering are also discussed. Methods for the generation of concentration depth profiles are outlined and examples given. In this document all emission angles are measured with respect to the surface normal.
Disability and Gender Based Violence: A Case of Couples with Children with Disabilities in Chainda, Lusaka

Violence against women with disabilities shares common characteristics with violence against women with children with disabilities in general. Just like women with disabilities, women of children that have disabilities also experience various forms of abuse as a result of having such a child. Violence against women with disabilities and women to the disabled children is not just a subset of genderbased violence, it is an intersectional category dealing with gender -based and disability-based violence. The confluence of these two factors results in an extremely high risk of violence against women that have disabled children (Hickman, (2000). Gender based violence is a problem affecting millions of couples globally and this manifests in various forms, for instance spouse battering among couples in the context of marriage or cohabitation (Benjamin & Lynn, 2004). Dennis (2012) revealed that couples with children with disabilities face marital conflicts as a result of the children. Despite many efforts that have been put in place to fight GBV there is still GBV among couples all over the world.
