A methodology for the professional training of the management and evaluation of HPC systems
Authors: Skrinarova Jarmila , Dudas Adam
Published: July 2018

The paper is motivated by critical demand for experts and scientists working in areas of mathematical modeling, simulations, big data techniques and who are familiar with management of HPC systems from user and administrator point of view. We created a new course entitled “HPC system management”. Our goal is focused on students to provide them with knowledge and understanding of complex problem of the HPC system management concerning job scheduling. Important fact is that the job scheduling problem is an NP-complete problem. Next objective of our course is to educate skilled experts, who are able to design and implement programs, scripts and models doing job management to solve specific parts of this complex problem. The course is innovative from several points of view. Our new approach lies in specific content, which is oriented to the HPC system management in contrast to existing courses, which are usually focused on development of HPC applications. Also we developed and provide new education methodology in a form of scientific project, which decomposes the complex problem into subproblems and subsequently brings together solutions to the subproblems to form united model. New education methodology is focused on generation of (pseudo-) optimal jobs schedule using data from real systems. The huge volume of used data leads to ideas and methodologies of problem solving, which are suitable for problems not solvable in polynomial time. Educational methodology also contains implementation of a job scheduling simulator. The paper presents a pilot course, in which students explore various scheduling algorithms and research their properties with the use of data gained from NorduGrid

The objective of this research is to develop a multifunctional polyamide 11 (PA11) with balanced thermal, mechanical, and flammability properties for SLS. In this study, two sets of formulations were prepared by twin-screw extrusion: the first set examined the effect of maleic anhydride modified elastomers on flammability and the mechanical properties, whereas the second set added various amount of nanoclay and discussed thermal stability, flammability and mechanical properties. The addition of 20 wt.% elastomer brought the elongation at break up to 40%. Reduction in heat release capacity as high as 49% was achieved, all nanocomposite samples passed UL 94 V-1 rating. The addition of nanoclay improved the tensile modulus by up to 78%, the elongation at break for all the formulations were negatively affected by the addition of flame retardant and nanoclay.
Quinoxaline-Based Small Molecules: Synthesis and Investigation on Their Optoelectronic Properties
Authors: Deng Jiyong , Tao Qiang , Yan Dong , Huang Xianwei , Liao Yunfeng
Published: July 2018

Small molecules of ThQuTh, CzQuTh, CzQuCz and TPAQuCz were designed and synthesized, based on quinoxaline acceptor, and electron donating groups, i.e. alkyl-thioephene, carbazole and triphenylamine on both side chains and molecular backbones. Their thermal, optical and electrochemical properties were systematically compared and studied. The absorption spectra of the small molecules were strongly affected by the donor units attached to quinoxaline. Strong electron donating groups, such as carbazole on the molecular backbone would lower optical band gap, resulting in a wide absorption and the strong donor on the side chain would enhance the absorption intensity in short wavelength region. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels of the four molecules were up-shifted with increasing the electron donating properties of donor units. The bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells with a device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/SMs:PC61BM/LiF/Al were fabricated, in which the small molecules functioned as donors while PC61BM as acceptor. Because the electron-donating ability of carbazole (Cz), triphenylamine (TPA) is higher than that of thiophene (Th), CzQuTh, CzQuCz and TPAQuCz show higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) than that of ThQuTh. Furthermore, being the strongest in absorption intensity and widest in absorption spectrum, TPAQuCz has the highest power conversion efficiency. Further improvement of the device efficiency by optimizing the device structure is currently under investigation
Del contractualismo igualitario al desarrollo humano diferencial: una perspectiva de justicia desde el enfoque de capacidades humanas en el proceso de retorno a la vida civil de desmovilizados en Colombia
Authors: Nieto Bravo Johan Andrés , Pardo Rodríguez Juan Pablo
Published: July 2018

Los procesos de retorno a la vida civil de desmovilizados en Colombia han sido fuertemente influidos por el contractualismo, como una doctrina basada en el principio de igualdad, que ha dado un piso filosófico de tipo trascendental a la creación de los Estados modernos y a las políticas de reintegración social. Sin embargo, dicha perspectiva teórica se ve rebatida por el creciente enfoque diferencial del desarrollo humano, que centra la mirada en las personas desmovilizadas y en la formación de sus capacidades, con el fin de movilizarlos hacia la legalidad, desde un ejercicio protagónico de su identidad ciudadana. De esta manera, las apuestas políticas actuales, a la luz de una nueva frontera de la justicia internacional, requieren hacer siempre nuevos procesos de acompañamiento de estos sujetos, con el fin de empoderarlos en la importante labor de la construcción social.

Authors: Drummond Luis Gustavo Rabello , Segundo Regenio Mahfuz Herbstrih , Oshima Hugo Mitsuo Silva , Shinkai Rosemary Sadami Arai
Published: July 2018

OBJECTIVE: This in vitro study evaluated the retention of copings cemented with a provisional cement and a permanent cement on wide-platform short abutments with different surface texture.METHODS: Two wide-platform abutments (height 4.0 mm) with machined (original) or modified surface (air-blasted with 50-µm aluminum oxide) were connected to two implant replicas under torque of 35 N.cm. Ten copings were cast in Cr-Co alloy from calcinable cylinders. Each coping was luted on the abutment under an axial force of 5 kg for 10 min, and the specimen was stored in a humid environment at 37°C for 20 h. After mechanical cycling simulating masticatory fatigue for 7 days (5754 cycles, 60 cycles/min, 200 N, 37°C), the specimens were subjected to a uniaxial tensile test at 0.5 cm/min, and the maximum retention strength (N) was recorded. After testing, the surfaces were cleaned, and the procedures were repeated for each coping in the experimental group. Data were analyzed by Student t test for paired samples. RESULTS: For the temporary cement, the mean retention (SD) was 36.1 (10.7) N for the machined surface and 49.6 (2.7) N for the blasted surface (P=0.004) (37% increase). For the zinc phosphate cement, the values were 292.0 (89.8) N and 440.6 (48.1) N, (P<0.001) (42% increase).CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the air-blasting of short and wide abutments increases the retention of the cast coping cemented with temporary or permanent cement.

Published: July 2018

INTRODUCTION: The present study identified and described scientific production on primary and secondary prevention of oral cancer worldwide. This is an integrative review of the literature, focusing on the description of oral cancer prevention experiences.METHODS: The search was performed in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the descriptors: early diagnosis, oral neoplasms, primary prevention and secondary prevention. We found 225 articles and selected 22 after evaluation, divided into three themes.RESULTS: Four articles awareness-raising and population-tracking campaigns with the valorization of the role of the dental surgeon and the involvement of health teams. The non-invasive diagnostic methods, considered in fifteen articles, addressed the implementation of new strategies for the early detection of this pathology by different diagnostic methods. The reorganization of the health system (3 articles) encompassed the permanent education of oral health professionals, epidemiological surveillance and reorganization of health services with integration of health care levels. The great majority of the reviewed experiences showed positive results in the prevention of oral cancer. An exception was the active search for suspected cases in the population, since the cost benefit did not compensate the expenditure with human resources for this purpose. The non-invasive methods reported are useful for screening but do not substitute the biopsia for diagnosis.

Background

This study was aimed to evaluate the association of serum vitamins D and E level with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods

This pilot study was performed in two groups of 15 patients in treatment group and 15 patients in control group. Measurements of blood factors [such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)] were performed after 12 h of fasting. To measure vitamins D and E, the serum was isolated from 5 cc blood samples.

Results

HDL was higher in the control group as compared with the AMD group. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups (p = 0.08). On the other hand, serum vitamin E in the AMD group was remarkably higher as compared to the control group (p < 0.002). However, no significant difference was found in serum vitamin D levels between the two groups (p = 0.662). Our findings also revealed that there was no statistically significant relationship between BMI and AMD. Moreover, no significant correlation was determined between serum CRP and AMD (p = 0.96).

Conclusions

Our data indicated that none provides evidence for associations between AMD and serum vitamin D levels. The association between vitamin D and AMD requires further investigations in a large population studies, to elucidate whether vitamin D deficiency can be an important risk factor for AMD.

Published: July 2018

Data plays a vital role particularly in mining enterprises to foster innovation and business performance through precise decision-making. Scientists have created many kinds of database technology to support them, such as big data, data cloud, etc. Meanwhile business is always facing a fluctuant situation in using those various database technologies. Unfortunately, there is still hard to use database technology in a proper way because there are no model rules in making a perfect planning so that they can choose suitable tools for its own case. Therefore, this paper aims to design an agile enterprise data architecture model rules (blueprint) in mining company based on various frameworks, tools and methods/techniques so that managers can govern their data asset for sustainably business-IT alignment. This data architecture reference models can be easily adopted by CIOs in order to move toward an integrated mining enterprises as well as guide user in producing a precise decision-making.
An Optimized DBN-based Coronary Heart Disease Risk Prediction
Authors: Lim Kahyun , Lee Byung Mun , Kang Ungu , Lee Youngho
Published: July 2018

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the world’s leading cause of death according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report. Despite the evolution of modern medical technology, the mortality rate of CHD has increased. Nevertheless, patients often do not realize they have CHD until their condition is serious due to the complexity, high cost, and the side effects of the diagnosis process. Thus, research on predicting CHD risk has been conducted. The Framingham study is a widely-accepted study in this field. However, one of its limitations is its overestimation of risk, which threatens its accuracy. Therefore, this study suggests a more advanced CHD risk prediction algorithm based on Optimized-DBN (Deep Belief Network). Optimized- DBN is an algorithm to improve performance by overcoming the limitations of the existing DBN. DBN does not have the global optimum values for number of layers and nodes, which affects research results. We overcame this limitation by combining with a genetic algorithm. The result of genetic algorithm for deriving the number of layers and nodes of Optimized-DBN for CHD prediction was 2 layers, 5 and 7 nodes to each layers. The accuracy of the CHD prediction algorithm based on Optimized- DBN which is developed by applying results of genetic algorithm was 0.8924, which is better than Framingham’s 0.5015 and DBN’s 0.7507. In the case of specificity, Optimized-DBN based CHD prediction was 0.7440, which was slightly lower than 0.8208 of existing DBN, but better than Framingham’s 0.65. In the case of sensitivity, Optimized-DBN is 0.8549, which is better than Framingham 0.4429 and DBN 0.7468. AUC of suggesting algorithm was 0.762, which was much better than Framingham 0.547 and DBN 0.570.

Published: July 2018

Artificial bee colony (ABC) is an efficient swarm intelligence algorithm, which has shown good exploration ability. However, its exploitation capacity needs to be improved. In this paper, a novel ABC variant with recombination (called RABC) is proposed to enhance the exploitation. RABC firstly employs a new search model inspired by the updating equation of particle swarm optimization (PSO). Then, both the new search model and the original ABC model are recombined to build a hybrid search model. The effectiveness of the proposed RABC is validated on ten famous benchmark optimization problems. Experimental results show RABC can significantly improve the quality of solutions and accelerate the convergence speed.

Authors: Mondal Somenath , Singh Devendra Narain , Baghini Maryam Shojaei
Published: July 2018

Heat sensors and thermal probes have been employed to determine the thermal properties (viz. thermal flux, thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity and volumetric heat capacity/specific heat) of geomaterials (viz. soils and rocks) in both laboratory and in situ conditions. However, the applicability of these methods for different types of geomaterials and the influence of the inherent properties of the sensors on the obtained results are still a matter of concern. Hence, it becomes essential to review conventional and state-of-the-art methods that can be used to determine these properties of geomaterials along with their advantages and limitations. In addition to this study, a review of different sensors and probes and the influence of various specific characteristics of geomaterials (viz. morphology, mineralogy, pore structure, microbial aspect, organic content and material heterogeneity) on their thermal response is discussed. It is highlighted that the mineralogy and pore structure of geomaterials have a significant influence on their thermal response.

The installation of mobile jack-up platforms on a sloped seabed creates hazardous conditions on the spudcans and legs by inducing detrimental moment and horizontal loads that normally do not occur on a flat seabed. Despite these risks, only a limited number of studies on the effect of a sloped seabed have been reported. In this paper, a series of experiments were performed to investigate the effect of a sloped seabed on the spudcan behaviour on sand using a centrifuge. The scaled spudcan was installed on saturated silty sand at different slope angles (0, 5 and 10°) and the combined vertical, horizontal and moment loads were recorded during installation. The results clearly showed that the horizontal and moment loads increased with slope angles. In addition, the penetration behaviour of the spudcan installed on the sloped seabed was different from that on a flat seabed especially until the full width of the spudcan becomes embedded. However, horizontal and moment loads were attenuated once the full diameter was deeply embedded in the soil.
Studies on damped hybrid outrigger systems of composite walls and steel bracings
Authors: Wang Aaron J.
Published: July 2018

Both experimental and numerical investigations were conducted on a new type of steel–concrete hybrid outrigger system developed for high-rise building structures. The steel bracing is embedded in the reinforced concrete outrigger wall, and the steel bracing and concrete outrigger wall work together to enhance the overall structural performance of tower structures under extreme loads. At the same time, metal dampers of a low-yield steel material are used as a ‘fuse’ device between the hybrid outrigger and the column. The damper is engineered to be ‘sacrificed’ and yield first in moderate to severe earthquakes to protect the structural integrity of important structural components of the hybrid outrigger system. Thus, brittle failures are unlikely to occur due to severe cracking in the concrete outrigger wall. A comprehensive experimental research programme was conducted to examine the structural performance of this new type of hybrid outrigger system. Finite-element models were also proposed and verified to be able to conservatively predict the structural performance of the hybrid outrigger system in both elastic and non-linear plastic stages. The key component and overall system tests were examined, which reveal the detailed structural response under various levels of static and cyclic loads.

Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile illness of childhood, one of its characteristic features is lymphadenopathy. Most often it manifests unilateral painful more than 1.5 sm in diameter enlargement of single or several cervical lymph nodes. In some cases increase in size can be observed in other lymph nodes groups: axillary, inguinal, paratracheal, para-aortic, retroperitoneal, mesenteric. In that case the dimension is smaller than 1.5 sm in diameter. Usually it occurs at the same time as fever and fades away after inflammation is terminated. Most typical morphological features are non-purulent necrotic changes with subcapsular necrotic lesions and non-specific changes: presence of enlargement of paracortical zone and expansion of sinus. The article presents a clinical case of Kawasaki disease diagnosis accompanied by severe lymphadenopathy, persistence of fever and progression of lymphadenopathy, appearance of supraclavicular lymph node after the introduction of intravenous immunoglobulin. This reflects the non-smooth course of the disease and required differential diagnosis, primarily with lymphoproliferative disease. A review of “unusual” cases of lymphadenopathy in patients with Kawasaki disease described in the literature is presented. The importance of carrying out a histological examination of the lymph node in a nonsmooth course of the disease is underlined. Histological variants of lymph node involvement in patients with Kawasaki disease are described.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of a difficult life situation associated with a disease that threatens the child's life. The specifics of this situation are determined by the fact that, unlike other life catastrophes, it primarily affects the scope of individual personal and family values, as well as the relationship with the child, as an object of high-value affection, and refers to the turning points of the life. Factors that exhaust this situation are under review in the article. The parameters influencing the formation of an internal aspect of a child’s disease are studied. The problem of the correlation of age and psychological characteristics of children and teenagers is analyzed through the prism of their perception of their own illness and their readiness to cooperate with medical personnel and inner circle at each of the stages of the medical process, starting from the moment of diagnosis. The peculiarities of interaction with children and teenagers under conditions of hospitalization are considered: from a newborn to the age of 2 years, from 2 to 7 years, from 7 to 12 years, from 12 years and older. It is noted that the children’s attitude to the disease, as well as to other important components of their life, also depends on the emotional assessment of significant people. This attitude is largely unconscious and does not include the logical analysis which is inherent in an adult. A special role is given to the problem of informing children about the changes taking place with them in connection with the disease, both at the current time and in the distant future. It is discussed the need to develop such a form of support which can give the child more opportunities to accept the current situation that separates him from his past way of life.

Published: July 2018

Infants with severe and moderate bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are characterized by long-term persistence of apnea of prematurity and often have a pulmonary hypertension (PH). Respiratory pauses, accompanied by intermittent hypoxia, do not clinically manifest themselves, therefore cardiorespiratory monitoring (CRM) is required. We hypothesized that the persistent of apnea, as the cause of hypoxemia episodes, may be associated with the persistence of PH in infants with BPD.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of cardiorespiratory parameters and to study the relationship between obstructive apnea and PH during the first year of life of premature infants with BPD + PH.

Materials and methods. CRM was performed in 58 infants were born at 26 0/7-31 0/7 weeks gestation and with birth weight less than 1500 grams, before discharge from the hospital (35-44 weeks of post menstrual age). 14 infants did not have BPD (group without BPD). 44 infants had BPD and 17 of them had a complication of this disease PH (BLD + PH group). Other infants with BPD did not have PH (BLD-PH group). Eight infants with BPD also underwent a study at home (aged 9 to 10 months of life).

Results. Preterm infants with BPD + PH were more significant decrease in the average SpO2, higher desaturation index and more a number of desaturation episodes of <10% compared to infants with BPD-PH and without BPD. There was no difference in the apnea/hypopnea index and frequency of occurrence of different types of apnea between groups. There was no difference in cardiorespiratory performance in infants with BPD+PH compared to infants with BPD-PH in 9-10 months of life.

Conclusions. There was a positive dynamics of cardiorespiratory parameters in infants with BPD+PH in 9-10 months after discharge from the hospital. The number of infants with an index of OA> 1/hour is higher in the group BPD+LH.

The article presents the results of clinical and instrumental examination of adolescents and young men of conscript age with sinus bradycardia. The study involved 2067 people (mean age19,7 ± 2,7 years), subject to conscription (from 17 to 27 years) and potential conscripts (16-year-olds). According to the results of the screening express of ECG diagnostics, all participants of the study were divided into groups – with normocardia (n = 1266), with tachycardia (n = 171) and with bradycardia (n = 630). The article shows that in patients with sinus bradycardia, the size of the left atrium (р < 0,05), pulmonary artery trunk (р < 0,05), right atrial (р < 0,05) and right ventricle (р < 0,05) more than in individuals with normosystole and tachysystole types of heart rhythm. In patients with bradysystole type of heart rhythm, lower values of the ejection fraction (р < 0,05) were recorded in comparison with other types of rhythm at higher shock volume of blood (р < 0,05), the end diastolic volume of the left ventricle (р < 0,05) and the end diastolic size of the left ventricle (р < 0,05). Patients with bradysystole type of heart rhythm were characterized by higher rates of inotropic (р < 0,01), chronotropic reserve (р < 0,05), duration of the recovery period (р < 0,01) with lower coronary reserve indices (р < 0,01) and maximum oxygen consumption (р < 0,05) compared with normosystole and tachysystole types of rhythm. In 63,7% of patients with sinus bradycardia, the Holter monitoring determined a decrease in the mean level of heart rate below the reference values. Sinus bradycardia is associated with rhythm and conduction disorders, as well as chronobiorythmological desynchronizes.

The authors see the solution of this problem on the way of improving the organizational and economic mechanism of the functioning of Russian enterprises. This problem is considered to be one of the main authors in the consolidation of society and its mobilization for the implementation of the tasks set in the may Decree of the President of the Russian Federation (№ 204 from 2018).

Methods:the study was conducted using the methods of systematic, logical, comparative analysis, involving Russian and foreign experience in solving social and economic problems. Particular attention was paid to the validity of the conclusions.

Results:national economic problems are touched upon through the prism of the economy of enterprises. An attempt has been made to prove the dependence of the acceleration of the rates of economic development on the improvement of the enterprise's internal economic mechanism. In the postindustrial society, the role of enterprises as the main link in the production of material goods and the provision of services is not diminished, despite the accelerated introduction of scientific and technological progress and the increase in the value of personal property. The improvement of the internal structure of enterprises proposed in the article can significantly reduce the negative consequences of the privatization of state property. According to the authors, this will improve the efficiency of the use of human capital in terms of all its components: ordinary workers, managers, specialists, owners.

Conclusions and Relevance:currently, there is a situation in which the owners of enterprises (mainly large ones) have practically unlimited rights and very limited liability for the results of the work of their enterprises. This situation hinders the development of the productive forces of society. The proposed concept of an "effective enterprise" means solidary management of enterprises (ultimately solidary management of the economy). It provides for a system of measures to remedy the situation. The first steps in this direction are the following: 1) the creation of a balanced system of enterprise management; 2) democratization of management and development of the institution of collective (people's) enterprises; 3) the movement in the direction of restraint unrestrained competition and finding ways of cooperation not only within enterprises but also in the relations between all participants of the process of production and realization of products, as well as authorities at all levels; 4) streamlining the processes for the establishment and liquidation of enterprises; 5) the active implementation of multilevel and multidimensional strategic planning. It is not possible to implement these measures in a short time. But the movement along this path creates systemic conditions for accelerating economic growth.

Immune profile of tumor and chemotherapy
Authors: Khamar Bakulesh
Published: July 2018

Chemotherapy works through its activity on cancer cells. It generally suppresses cell-mediated immunity but also improves cell-mediated immune response by making tumor cells vulnerable to killing by cell-mediated immune responses as well as through its action on immunostimulant and immunosuppressive cells. Outcome of chemotherapy seems to be dependent on baseline tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TII) as well as changes in TII following chemotherapy in varieties of tumors. Evaluation of density and site of two TII is done in immunoscore. It is a better marker than evaluation of a single TII. Evaluation of TII can have prognostic and predictive value and can help in the better stratifying prognostic value of current classification.

Los impuestos personales sobre el capital en las cooperativas y en sus socios en el País Vasco
Authors: Atxabal Rada Alberto
Published: July 2018

Existen diferencias notables en la regulación del capital social en una cooperativa y en una sociedad capitalista, así como en la remuneración de ese capital. Debemos ser conscientes de estas diferencias para comprender la regulación fiscal del capital en las cooperativas. La normativa fiscal toma como modelo a las sociedades capitalistas, lo que le obliga a adaptar sus reglas fiscales a las sociedades cooperativas porque sus características difieren de las propias de una sociedad anónima o de una sociedad de responsabilidad limitada. Se ha regulado un régimen fiscal especial en Euskadi para las sociedades cooperativas y para los socios cooperativistas. En este trabajo se analizan, por tanto, las principales reglas especiales que afectan tanto al Impuesto de Sociedades por lo que se refiere a la sociedad cooperativa y a sus socios que a su vez sean cooperativas, como al Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Físicas por lo que hace al socio cooperativista que a su vez sea persona física.Recibido: 13 marzo 2018Aceptado: 25 abril 2018Publicación en línea: 24 julio 2018

Problemy monitorowania sytuacji społecznej na szczeblu lokalnym i regionalnym wynikające z czasowej dostępności danych
Authors: Michalski Tomasz
Published: July 2018

Monitorując sytuację społeczną na szczeblu regionalnym i lokalnym spotykamy się z pięcioma grupami problemów wynikających z: (1) uwarunkowań czasowych, (2) małej częstotliwości lub wyraźnej specyfiki procesu, (3) niemożności jednoznacznego zdefiniowania wskaźników, (4) trudności z delimitacją jednostek, (5) tzw. czynnika ludzkiego. Główne cele artykułu są dwa. Pierwszym jest omówienie jednej z grup problemów – związanej z czasową dostępnością danych. Drugim celem jest przedstawienie propozycji radzenia sobie (tam, gdzie to jest możliwe) z tą grupą problemów. W ramach omawianej grupy problemów wyróżniono te wynikające z dużego opóźnienia w dostępie do danych oraz będące rezultatem gromadzenia danych w okresie rzadszym niż roczny.

The Oil Supply Chain in Texas: Pipelines, Tankers, and Trucks
Authors: Singh Jashandeep , Jones Erick C
Published: July 2018

The US EIA states that Texas produced 3,140,000 barrels of oil per day in 2014. Therefore the annual production of crude oil in 2014 was around 1,146,100,000 barrels – see Figure 1. The average cost of ‘West Texas Intermediate’ crude oil was $95 in 2014. So this turns out that $108,879,500,000 worth of crude oil was produced in Texas in 2014.
The cost of transportation decides a fraction of final price of a barrel of oil. It accounts for almost 10%-15% of the final price per barrel of oil. If we are able to reduce the costs in the transportation of oil, we will be able to save a significant amount of money that can be utilized somewhere else to make the Texas economy even stronger.
