D ec 2 01 1 Opposite effect of spin-orbit coupling on condensation andsuperfluidity

We investigated effects of a Rashba-type spin-orbit coupli ng (SOC) on the condensed density and superfluid density tensor of a two-component Fermi gas in the BCS-BEC cr ossover at zero temperature. In anisotropic three dimensions (3D), we found that SOC has an opposite effe ct on condensation (enhanced) and superfluidity (suppressed in the SOC direction) and this effect becomes mo st pr nounced for very weak interactions and the SOC strength being larger than a characteristic value. Furt hermore, as functions of SOC strength, the condensed density changes monotonously for all interaction paramete rs while the superfluid density has a minimum when the interaction parameter is below a critical value. We also di cussed the isotropic two dimensional (2D) case where analytical expressions for the gap and number equatio ns were obtained and the same phenomena was found as that of the 3D case.

ETIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE DISORDERS – EARLY PREDICTORS FOR LANGUAGE IMPAIREMENT

: The etiology of the language disorders is a widely discussed topic not only by speech therapists, who work directly with communication disorders, but also by doctors, psychologists, psycholinguists, teachers. They all are interested in the origin of language disorders and their related factors - biological, psychological or due to environmental factors. This article will present some of the most commonly discussed hypotheses, described in the world literature, related to the present topic. Knowledge of the etiology is the basis that enables clinicians to perform quality assessment, prevention and treatment in children in early childhood. In-depth attention to the predictors of language disorders makes it possible to identify children at potential risk of language developmental disorders. Early detection of children at risk of language impairment is the key to appropriate therapy, but the risk factors described in the article are the critical point in the prevention of language impairments. The study of the literature resources emphasizes the special interest and attention to the genetic and neurobiological factors, as well as to the prenatal features, socioeconomic status of parents of children with language impairment. 1.Purpose - this report aims to examine the world scientific literature, which describes the possible risk factors, associated with language developmental disorders. 2.Methodology - the purpose of the present report is to study the newest articles, published in Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCOhost, and Science Direct. 3.Results - several possible hypotheses were clearly identified. The disturbed language system is in most cases a consequence of several factors - biological, prenatal and socioeconomical. 4.Conclusions - knowledge of risk factors is crucial for the early identification of children at risk of language disorders. Early assessment and treatment are extremely important for the overall development of the child - not only linguistically, but cognitively, behaviourally and emotionally. - we recommend publicity on topics related to the etiology and early risk factors for parents or people caring for children.
Influence of mixture composition on thermal properties of concrete and the performance of rigid pavement

The recent mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG) put more emphasis on the effects of thermal curling stresses on rigid pavement analysis and design. Mix design of concrete has significant influence on its thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, and specific heat. Aggregate type and content significantly alter the thermal properties of concrete incorporating them. The moisture state of the concrete increases its specific heat and thermal conductivity. A review of the effect of temperature of fresh concrete on early age properties is also presented. The performance of rigid pavements exposed to seasonal and daily fluctuations in temperature is discussed. Airfield concrete pavements which are subjected to jet engine exhausts experience heat cycles micro-cracking, coarsening of microstructure and loss of compressive and flexural strength. These effects are mostly the result of the dehydration and decomposition of paste matrix in concrete. Heat cycles result in concrete deterioration similar in appearance to freezing and thawing deterioration.
Tamoxifen, Uterine Corpus Cancer and Breast Cancer

Background: In 2017 we described 5-year histological and disease-free survival data from a series of 429 patients with cancers of the uterine corpus (UCC), observing similar percentages to those described in the medical literature. The only difference we found with other published studies was a slightly lower percentage of serous carcinomas (SC) in the Western countries, but similar to the 3% of all SC in Japan [1]. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of uterine corpus cancer and the influence of tamoxifen on the histological types of uterine body cancer, and their long-term survival (20 year follow-up). Methods: Two series of patients were included in this study: [1] 429 patients with uterine corpus cancer and [2] 1385 patients with breast cancer. The second group included 1057 patients who had been treated with tamoxifen and 328 who had not been treated. All women had been diagnosed at the same Hospital (General University Hospital of Vigo). Crossing both series, we observed that 51 women were diagnosed with both uterine and breast neoplasias. Previously, we had excluded those cases of breast cancer (n = 1051) at the time of closing the data collection as we were not certain whether or not they had received hormonal treatment. We compared histological types of corpus uterine cancer for women with and without a prior diagnosis of breast cancer. Age of diagnosis, uterine tumor stage, histological cell type, histological grade, treatment and time 20 year free disease were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank test analysis. Results: Women diagnosed with UCC with a personal history of a previous breast cancer treated with tamoxifen had UCC with significantly more undifferentiated histological types than those with UCC who had not received tamoxifen: with a significantly higher proportion of uterine papillary serous carcinomas (3.2 % vs. 1.9 %), clear cell (6.4 % vs. 3.7 %), indifference carcinoma (3.2% vs. 0.8%) and sarcomas (9.7% vs. 3,7%) compared to those without a personal history of breast cancer (p < 0.001). There were no differences with regards FIGO Stage uterine corpus cancer with and without breast cancer history (p > 0.05). The 20-years free of disease survival in patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma was significantly decreased in women with tamoxifen breast cancer history (p = 0.04). Conclusions: In this study, our data showed that women with uterine corpus cancer who had a personal history of breast cancer treated with tamoxifen had an increased risk of developing more aggressive UCCs and a lower 20-years free of disease survival. The odds ratio was 2.4. We think that a regular uterine endometrial and myometrial follow-up in the very long term is necessary in women diagnosed with breast cancer and treated with tamoxifen.
Big Data Mining of Energy Time Series for Behavioral Analytics and Energy Consumption Forecasting

Responsible, efficient and environmentally aware energy consumption behavior is becoming a necessity for the reliable modern electricity grid. In this paper, we present an intelligent data mining model to analyze, forecast and visualize energy time series to uncover various temporal energy consumption patterns. These patterns define the appliance usage in terms of association with time such as hour of the day, period of the day, weekday, week, month and season of the year as well as appliance-appliance associations in a household, which are key factors to infer and analyze the impact of consumers’ energy consumption behavior and energy forecasting trend. This is challenging since it is not trivial to determine the multiple relationships among different appliances usage from concurrent streams of data. Also, it is difficult to derive accurate relationships between interval-based events where multiple appliance usages persist for some duration. To overcome these challenges, we propose unsupervised data clustering and frequent pattern mining analysis on energy time series, and Bayesian network prediction for energy usage forecasting. We perform extensive experiments using real-world context-rich smart meter datasets. The accuracy results of identifying appliance usage patterns using the proposed model outperformed Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) at each stage while attaining a combined accuracy of 81.82%, 85.90%, 89.58% for 25%, 50% and 75% of the training data size respectively. Moreover, we achieved energy consumption forecast accuracies of 81.89% for short-term (hourly) and 75.88%, 79.23%, 74.74%, and 72.81% for the long-term; i.e., day, week, month, and season respectively.
UNDERWATER SENSOR NETWORKS THAT SUPPORTS VARIOUS ACOUSTIC USING WIRELESS DEVICE

superb project. In contemporary cluster schemes, balance and cluster length square measure terribly crucial parameters; however, lowering the quantity of clusters will not continually motivate bigger economical architectures. A CH may become dominating numerous MHs that its machine, information measure and battery assets can ﬂeetly exhaust. Therefore, Submerged contrivance arranges that backings ﬂuctuated acoustic applications. The topology arrangement contains of grapple hubs and surface sinks, wherever keep hubs unit provided with sailing ﬂoats distended by pumps. The occasion's unit discovered by grapple hubs, and changed to surface sink by multi bounces. From sinks information changed through satellite thus to the foremost reduced station. Here we've a twisted to thought of the waves that created by the submerged contrivance hubs to produce acoustic ﬂag. Below water contrivance ready to co-ordinate their task by commerce style, space relate in nursing development info to transfer discovered to degree upcountry station. The customary approach for ocean base or ocean section perception is to send submerged sensors that record information for the duration of the perception mission, thus recoup the instruments. This approach has sequential burdens: Continuous perception is not possible. Typically |this will be unremarkably important altogether in examination or in natural perception applications like shaky perception. The recorded information cannot be gotten to till the purpose that the instruments unit recouped, that will happen a moment once the beginning of the perception mission. No collaboration is conceivable between coastal administration frameworks then the perception instruments. This hinders any adaptive institutionalization of the instruments, neither is it possible to reconﬁgure the framework once explicit occasions happen. ABSTRACT
The evaporation of a salty film

Evaporation of water is an important phase transformation that appears in many guises throughout everday life. Its effects range from processes intrinsically involved in the atmospheric water cycle, to the regulation of body temperature in hot environments, the production of coffee ring stains beneath a spilt coffee droplet and to important processes underlying microfluidics. Although evaporation as a pure bulk phase transformation is well understood, when one adds solutes to the liquid, or brings the liquid into contact with a substrate, we obtain a new and rich variety of possible behaviours that we can access experimentally and analyse theoretically. A well known example of is the effect of combining a solute with evaporation is given by the ‘tears of wine’ phenomenon [1],[2]. When one swills a glass of wine, a liquid film is produced up the side of the glass above the bulk liquid. Alcohol evaporates more rapidly in the film away from the bulk wine, and the film becomes depleted of alcohol. This depletion decreases the surface concentration of the film relative to that of the bulk wine, leading to a gradient in surface energy. This gradient causes a marangoni flow, drawing liquid up into the film above the bulk wine. Eventually, enough liquid is drawn up into the film that it becomes unstable to gravity and falls–like a tear of wine. Any gradient in surface temperature or concentration will cause Marangoni flows, and thus marangoni flows can be extremely important in the presence of phase transitions, particularly evaporation. A second complexity is introduced by the addition of a substrate into the problem [3]. Although the wetting of substrates has been well studied [4], there are still many interesting phenomena associated with the evaporation of films that have only recently received attention, such as the investigation of coffee ring formation by a sessile, particle– laden droplet [5], the observations of a finite contact angle in an evaporating wetting film [6], and of particular interest, the experiments of Du and Stone on evaporatively grown salt trees [7]. Neufeld has recently performed a series of experiments observing the evaporation of a sessile, salty droplet (private communication). Although simple in nature, the experiments show several key features that we wish to understand (see Fig. 1). Namely:
Preparation and Characterization of ZnO Nanoparticles : Application to Sensor Devices

ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method from zinc chloride. The powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selectedarea electron diffraction, UV-vis optical absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy analyses. XRD patters showed that ZnO nanoparticles have hexagonal unit cell structure. SEM &TEM pictures reveal the morphology and particle size of prepared ZnO nanoparticles. The UV-vis absorption spectrum shows an absorption band at 355 nm due to ZnO nanoparticles. The photoluminescence spectrum exhibits two emission peaks one at 392 nm corresponds to band gap excitonic emission and another located at 520 nm due to the presence of singly ionized oxygen vacancies. The synthesis method has potential for application in manufacturing units due to ease processing and more economical reagents. Copyright © 2014 IFSA Publishing, S. L.
Cell cycle-dependent regulation of the RNA-binding protein Staufen 1

Staufen1 (Stau1) is a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-binding protein involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Recent studies indicate that Stau1-bound messenger RNAs (mRNAs) mainly code for proteins involved in transcription and cell cycle control. Consistently, we report here that Stau1 abundance fluctuates through the cell cycle in HCT116 and U2OS cells: it is high from the S phase to the onset of mitosis and rapidly decreases as cells transit through mitosis. Stau1 downregulation is mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the E3 ubiquitin ligase anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). Stau1 interacts with the APC/C co-activators Cdh1 and Cdc20 via its first 88 N-terminal amino acids. The importance of controlling Stau155 levels is underscored by the observation that its overexpression affects mitosis entry and impairs proliferation of transformed cells. Microarray analyses identified 275 Stau155bound mRNAs in prometaphase cells, an early mitotic step that just precedes Stau1 degradation. Interestingly, several of these mRNAs are more abundant in Stau155-containing complexes in cells arrested in prometaphase than in asynchronous cells. Our results point out for the first time to the possibility that Stau1 participates in a mechanism of posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression that is linked to cell cycle progression in cancer cells.
Empowering Women or Dislodging Sectarianism?: Civil Marriage in Lebanon

In this article, I reflect on the proposed Lebanese civil marriage law, which initiated a political crisis in Lebanon in March of 1998 and was followed by an indefinite shelving of that proposed law. Many Westerners assume that women in today's Middle East passively submit to extreme male chauvinism and glaring legal inequalities. In fact, Middle Eastern women have been actively engaged in a quest for empowerment and equity through legal, educational, political, and workplace reforms for many decades, and through publication of their writings in some countries for over a century. Although women's rights were at stake in the proposed law, it is curious that many failed to perceive the connection between legal reform and women's empowerment. Those who understand this linkage only too well are the most frequent opponents of such legal reform, arguing that it will destroy the very fabric of society and its existing religious and social divisions. First, I will provide some information on the history of sectarianism (known as ta'ifzyya in Arabic) in Lebanon. The drama surrounding the proposed bill's debut will be followed by information on women's politically and socially transitional status in the country. I relate women's status to their inability to lobby effectively for such a reform. I will allude to similar or related regional reforms in the area of personal status in order to challenge the idea of Lebanon's exceptionalism. I then explore the politicized nature of the
Title DNA-mediated dimerization on a compact sequence signaturecontrols enhancer engagement and regulation by FOXA 1

FOXA1 is a transcription factor capable to bind silenced chromatin to direct context-dependent cell fate conversion. Here, we demonstrate that a compact palindromic DNA element (termed ‘DIV’ for its diverging half-sites) induces the homodimerization of FOXA1 with strongly positive cooperativity. Alternative structural models are consistent with either an indirect DNA-mediated cooperativity or a direct protein-protein interaction. The cooperative homodimer formation is strictly constrained by precise half-site spacing. Re-analysis of chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing data indicates that the DIV is effectively targeted by FOXA1 in the context of chromatin. Reporter assays show that FOXA1-dependent transcriptional activity declines when homodimeric binding is disrupted. In response to phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibition DIV sites pre-bound by FOXA1 such as at the PVT1/MYC locus exhibit a strong increase in accessibility suggesting a role of the DIV configuration in the chromatin closed-open dynamics. Moreover, several diseaseassociated single nucleotide polymorphisms map to DIV elements and show allelic differences in FOXA1 homodimerization, reporter gene expression and are annotated as quantitative trait loci. This includes the rs541455835 variant at the MAPT locus encoding the Tau protein associated with Parkinson’s disease. Collectively, the DIV guides chromatin engagement and regulation by FOXA1 and its perturbation could be linked to disease etiologies.
Whole-rock oxygen-isotope mapping of the footwall alteration zones at the Lalor auriferous VMS deposit, Snow Lake, west-central Manitoba (NTS 63K16).

Le gisement de sulfures massifs volcanogenes auriferes de Lalor (25,3 Mt a une teneur en Au de 2,9 g/t, pour une quantite totale de Au d'environ 70 t), du Paleoproterozoique, est le plus gros et le plus riche gisement de ce type dans le camp minier de Snow Lake. Le gisement a ete intensement deforme et metamorphise au facies des amphibolites. Dans le mur du gisement est associee une zone d'intense alteration transposee qui s'etend sur des centaines de metres sous les lentilles de minerai superposees et en peripherie de celles-ci. La cartographie des associations de mineraux d'alteration dans le mur du gisement a l'aide de la composition isotopique de l'oxygene sur roche totale ainsi que des associations chimiques qui s'y rapportent revelent une zone de reaction de haute temperature (<=350oC, delta-18O <= 6 o/oo) de grande etendue laterale et partiellement transposee. Au gisement de Lalor, on releve une correlation directe entre la signature delta-18O et l'intensite de l'alteration, ce qui nous laisse croire que l'information fournie par la composition isotopique de l'oxygene n'a pas ete remise au zero lors du metamorphisme et qu'elle peut par consequent servir de vecteur pointant vers la mineralisation.
Polymorphisms and Associations of the NRAMP-1 and iNOS Genes on Newcastle Disease and Salmonella enteritidis Resistances in SenSi-1 Agrinak Chickens

NRAMP-1 and iNOS genes were reported to be associated with a defense mechanism against bacteria and virus infections. This study aimed to identify NRAMP-1 and iNOS genes polymorphisms and their associations with the defense mechanisms against Salmonella enteritidis and Newcastle Disease (ND) in SenSi-1 Agrinak chicken. The present study used a total number of 172 SenSi-1 Agrinak chicken. Identifications of NRAMP-1 and iNOS genes polymorphisms were performed by PCR-RFLP method. NRAMP-1 and iNOS genotypes were associated with immunoglobulin Y (IgY) concentration, specific antibodies against S. enteritidis and ND using General Linear Model (GLM). Immunity characteristics were further grouped into high, medium, and low categories. NRAMP1|SacI exon 11 and iNOS|AluI intron 24 in SenSi-1 Agrinak chickens were polymorphic. TC genotype has a higher immune response to infectious agents compared to TT and CC genotypes. The frequency of C allele was higher than the T allele in the concentration of immunoglobulin Y (IgY), antibodies titers against S enteritidis and ND. The TC genotype of NRAMP-1 gene was significantly associated with ND antibody titers, and the TT genotype of iNOS was significantly associated with S. enteritidis specific antibody. NRAMP-1 and iNOS genes can be used as potential candidate genes for immune traits in SenSi-1 Agrinak chickens.
