Role of Surgery in Isolated Concha Bullosa
Authors: Badran Hatem Soliman 
Published: October 2017

Objective To study the benefit of surgery in different types of isolated concha bullosa. Design Prospective case series. Setting Academic Medical Center. Patients Forty seven symptomatic patients complaining of nasal congestion and block, headache and facial pain having concha bullosa without any other sinonasal finding. Their conchae bullosa were classified as lamellar, bulbous and extensive concha bullosa. They were subjected to endoscopic operation. Main outcome measures Subjective evaluation of postoperative improvement of sinonasal symptoms and objective pre- and postoperative measurement of total nasal resistance by rhinomanometry. Results Two patients (25%) of lamellar type showed complete improvement, 5 patients (62.5%) showed partial improvement and 1 patient (12.5%) showed no improvement. Regarding bulbous type, 16 patients (72.72%) showed complete improvement, 6 patients (27.28%) showed partial improvement and no patient (0%) showed no improvement. Regarding extensive type, 15 (88.24%) patients showed complete improvement, 2 patients (11.76%) showed partial improvement and no patient (0%) showed no improvement. The total nasal resistance was 0.25 Pa/cm3 per second postoperatively compared with 0.37 Pa/cm3 per second preoperatively in patients having lamellar type; 0.28 Pa/cm3 per second postoperatively compared with 0.71 Pa/cm3 per second preoperatively in patients having bulbous type; and 0.27 Pa/cm3 per second postoperatively compared with 0.67 Pa/cm3 per second preoperatively in patients having extensive type. Conclusions With proper patient selection, the operative management is of great value in relieving the sinonasal symptoms in patients having isolated Concha bullosa. This will be more obvious in certain types as bulbous and extensive types especially of large sizes.
Pyolaryngocoele: Management of an Unusual Cause of Odynophagia and Neck Swelling
Authors: Khan NA , Watson G , Sivayoham E , Willatt DJ 
Published: October 2017

We present a case of 82 years old female with two-week history of neck swelling, odynophagia, hoarseness and cough. There was a tender, fluctuant swelling below the mandible on right side. An urgent C.T scan showed it to be a pyolaryngocele. High dose intra venous antibiotic, analgesia and nasogastric feeding resolved the acute infective episode. The residual laryngocele was treated by an excision via an external approach. A pyolaryngocele is a rare complication of laryngocele that becomes secondarily infected. It can cause feeding and respiratory compromise because of its compression symptoms. A CT is helpful for prompt diagnosis and for planning definitive surgical management. The aim of this paper is to highlight the need to recognise and then treat these cases aggressively. The best treatment option is to remove the laryngocele in-toto to prevent recurrence.

Published: October 2017

El objetivo principal de esta investigación es estudiar la tendencia a la espectacularización de la información política en el modo en que El País representa a Donald Trump, el candidato republicano a la presidencia de Estados Unidos, durante toda la campaña electoral: desde el anuncio de su precandidatura el 17 de junio de 2015 hasta una semana después de su victoria el 15 de noviembre de 2016. Metodología: Para lograrlo, se realiza un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de las 462 noticias sobre Donald Trump y Hillary Clinton publicadas en el diario entre estas fechas, y un análisis textual de las 320 noticias de enfoque estratégico sobre Trump. Resultados y conclusiones: Los resultados revelan la preeminencia del framing estratégico, la mayor relevancia otorgada a Trump y la construcción de dos personajes antagónicos (la heroína Clinton y el antihéroe Trump) insertados en un relato mítico sin final feliz.

Overview of NASA's MODIS and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) snow-cover Earth System Data Records
Authors: Riggs George A. , Hall Dorothy K. , Román Miguel O. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract. Knowledge of the distribution, extent, duration and timing of snowmelt is critical for characterizing the Earth's climate system and its changes. As a result, snow cover is one of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) essential climate variables (ECVs). Consistent, long-term datasets of snow cover are needed to study interannual variability and snow climatology. The NASA snow-cover datasets generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra and Aqua spacecraft and the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) are NASA Earth System Data Records (ESDR). The objective of the snow-cover detection algorithms is to optimize the accuracy of mapping snow-cover extent (SCE) and to minimize snow-cover detection errors of omission and commission using automated, globally applied algorithms to produce SCE data products. Advancements in snow-cover mapping have been made with each of the four major reprocessings of the MODIS data record, which extends from 2000 to the present. MODIS Collection 6 (C6; https://nsidc.org/data/modis/data_summaries) and VIIRS Collection 1 (C1; https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VNP10.001) represent the state-of-the-art global snow-cover mapping algorithms and products for NASA Earth science. There were many revisions made in the C6 algorithms which improved snow-cover detection accuracy and information content of the data products. These improvements have also been incorporated into the NASA VIIRS snow-cover algorithms for C1. Both information content and usability were improved by including the Normalized Snow Difference Index (NDSI) and a quality assurance (QA) data array of algorithm processing flags in the data product, along with the SCE map. The increased data content allows flexibility in using the datasets for specific regions and end-user applications. Though there are important differences between the MODIS and VIIRS instruments (e.g., the VIIRS 375 m native resolution compared to MODIS 500 m), the snow detection algorithms and data products are designed to be as similar as possible so that the 16+ year MODIS ESDR of global SCE can be extended into the future with the S-NPP VIIRS snow products and with products from future Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) platforms. These NASA datasets are archived and accessible through the NASA Distributed Active Archive Center at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.
Fluctuating dental asymmetry in rabbits with familial nonsyndromic coronal suture synostosis
Authors: Hyre Mae A. , Weinberg Seth M. , Cooper Gregory M. , Gilbert James , Siegel Michael I. , Mooney Mark P. 
Published: October 2017

Fluctuating dental asymmetry has been linked to conditions of unstable pre- and peri-natal development. Familial, nonsyndromic craniosynostosis disrupts early craniofacial development through localized excessive calvarial ossification leading to the premature fusion of the calvarial sutures. Such abnormal gene expression may also produce systemic stress resulting in developmental instability, thereby affecting normal trait symmetry. The present study was designed to test this hypothesis by examining fluctuating dental asymmetry in an inbred strain of rabbits with familial, nonsyndromic coronal craniosynostosis. The mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) dimensions of the right and left maxillary first molars were measured in four groups of New Zealand white rabbits (N=176; n=40 with early-onset synostosis, n=65 with delayed-onset synostosis, n=46 in-colony, phenotypically normal rabbits, and n=25 wild-type normal controls). For each variable, raw signed asymmetry was calculated (left-right) and tested for assumptions of fluctuating asymmetry (i.e., normality and non-directionality). Any group that did not meet these assumptions was excluded from further analysis. Using a standard size-adjusted, fluctuating asymmetry index, mean fluctuating asymmetry was calculated and compared across groups with non-parametric statistics. For the MD dimension, no significant (p > 0.05) group differences in mean fluctuating asymmetry were observed among groups. In contrast, rabbits with early-onset synostosis had significantly (p < 0.05) more fluctuating asymmetry in the BL dimension compared to wild-type controls. Results demonstrate increased fluctuating dental asymmetry in rabbits with nonsyndromic, early-onset coronal suture synostosis and suggest that the molecular events producing suture synostosis locally may have also have systemic effects. Knowledge of these systemic interactions may contribute to a fuller understanding of the phenotypic spectrum observed in individuals with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis.
RECALQUES EM FUNDAÇÕES PROFUNDAS – ANÁLISE EM ESTACAS HÉLICE CONTÍNUA
Authors: Prununciati Pedro Lucas , Garcia Jean Rodrigo , Rodriguez Tiago Garcia 
Published: October 2017

RESUMO: O recalque em fundações profundas e sua influência numa edificação tem se mostrado um parâmetro crítico, já que em diversos projetos a capacidade de carga não é o fator limitante, mas sim o recalque que a estrutura pode suportar em seu estado limite de serviço (ELS). Neste trabalho, são analisados resultados de deslocamento para uma estaca, estimados a partir dos métodos de Poulos e Davis (1980), Vésic (1969, 1975a) e Cintra e Aoki (2010), comparando-os com o valor recalque obtido por ensaios de prova de carga. Para tal, se apresentam três ensaios com carregamento do tipo lento, seguindo instruções da NBR12131 (ABNT, 2006), executados em estacas hélice contínua instrumentadas, com comprimentos de 14,75 m, 12,85 m e 21,80 m e diâmetros de 70 cm, 60 cm e 70 cm, respectivamente. Essas estacas foram ensaiadas no munícipio de Itatiba, em uma região onde sondagens à percussão demonstram a predominância de areia e silte. Para as estacas analisadas, o método proposto por Cintra e Aoki (2010) mostrou melhor resultado para a estimativa do recalque, quando comparado aos resultados de recalque obtidos em prova de carga. O método Poulos e Davis (1980) obteve desempenho menos satisfatório, resultando uma margem de erro de 16%, para mais ou para menos. O método de Vésic (1969, 1975a) se mostrou conservador e, nos casos analisados, resultou uma superestimativa de 138%, quando comparados aos valores de prova de carga.ABSTRACT: The settlement in deep foundations and its influence appears to be a critical parameter, as in many projects, the load capacity of a pile is not the limiting factor, but the settlement which the structure can suffer on its serviceability limit state (SLS) is. In this research, the settlement results of a pile, estimated by the methods of Poulos e Davis (1980), Vésic (1969, 1975a) and Cintra e Aoki (2010) will be analyzed, to be compared with the value of settlement obtained from load tests. Three slow type load tests, following the instructions of NBR12131 (ABNT, 2006) are presented, carried out in instrumented continuous flight augers, with lengths of 14,75 m, 12,85 m and 21,80 m and diameters of 70 cm, 60 cm and 70 cm, respectively. Those piles were tested in the city of Itatiba, in a region where standard penetration tests evidenced the predominance of sand and silt. In the analyzed piles, the Cintra e Aoki (2010) method has shown the best result for a settlement estimate, when compared with the value obtained by a load test. The Poulos e Davis method (1980) obtained a less satisfactory performance, resulting a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 16%. The Vésic method (1969, 1975a) has shown to be conservative, resulting, in the analyzed cases, an overestimate of 138%, when compared with the load tests values.

Joe Keller's Motivation for Suicide inAll My Sons: A New Reading
Authors: Casper Vivian 
Published: October 2017

AbstractAlthough various motivations have been analyzed for Joe Keller's suicide in All My Sons, this essay argues for a new motivation by reexamining Joe's psychology, dialogic consistency, symbolism in the play, suicides in other Miller plays, and Miller's Chekhovian technique. Joe's motivation for suicide is to preserve his manufacturing business and pass it to Chris. To live, once Joe's secret is exposed, would endanger his mission. In his final practical, psychological, and philosophical battle with Chris, Joe wins, that is, achieves his goal, in the only way he knows how. If all elements of the play and their cohesiveness are considered, All My Sons then does not have a flawed ending, puzzling previous interpreters, but is a well-crafted, coherent work of art.

Published: October 2017

A qualidade estrutural dos solos vem sendo avaliada por indicadores físicos obtidos em condições laboratoriais, que embora sejam os mais aceitos, têm obtenção onerosa, além do tempo necessário para transporte das amostras e demora na apresentação dos resultados. A análise visual da estrutura obtida em campo vem sendo apontada como opção viável para o diagnóstico da qualidade física do solo, constituindo uma importante ferramenta para identificar ou monitorar práticas de manejo sustentáveis. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a relação entre análise visual e laboratorial da estrutura objetivando diagnóstico da qualidade física de diferentes solos. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial duplo, sendo os fatores as classes de solos (LVd, CXbd e NXd), avaliadas em diferentes profundidades (amontoa; 0,05-0,15 m; 0,25-0,35 m; e 0,45-0,55 m ), em triplicata. A avaliação se apoiou na aparência visual da estrutura dos solos após 5 anos da implantação de um sistema de manejo conservacionista, sendo avaliadas a resistência e outros atributos das unidades estruturais dos solos, categorizados por 5 Scores visuais (Ev) utilizados na classificação da qualidade da estrutura, variando de Ev =1 (melhor qualidade) a Ev =5 (pior qualidade). Nas profundidades de 0,25-0,35 m e 0,45-0,55 m, o LVd apresentou Score visual menor quando comparado ao NXd e CXbd, indicando sua melhor condição estrutural nestas profundidades. A análise de componentes principais demonstrou que a quantificação dos atributos densidade do solo, microporosidade, teor de silte e poros da classe de diâmetro < 0,6 µm contribuíram para justificar o aumento do Ev.

Propriété et Socialisation

Published: October 2017

Trois ou quatre campagnes électorales comme les dernières que notre population vient de subir et chacun pourra se qualifier d'expert en économique. Les problèmes seront devenus simples et les solutions s'imposeront à l'esprit comme deux et deux font quatre.
Nous avons d'ailleurs déjà été bien préparés par les rengaines que nous ont servies et continuent de nous servir les pontifes et les bedeaux du capitalisme sur l'entreprise privée, le droit de propriété, le socialisme, la socialisation,etc. Il faut dire aussi que lorsque l'on s'arrête aux manuels ou aux ouvrages classiques pour traiter ces problèmes on est loin dêtre beaucoup plus avancé. A force de répéter les mêmes choses sans trop se soucier de regarder la réalité qui nous entoure, on en est venu, dans un domaine aussi concret, à se complaire dans des catégories qui sont incapables de saisir révolution dans laquelle notre monde technique est engagé et à ériger en absolu ce qui n'est que relatif, en permanent ce qui n'est que contingent.
A Description of Some Key Provisions of Canada's New Civil Service Act
Authors: Best J.C. 
Published: October 2017

The Civil Service Act, passed in 1918, had never been substantially modified for the 43 years following its adoption. In 1957 however the Government asked the Civil Service Commission to review personnel procedure in the Government Service and to prepare a report. The report produced was entitled Personnal Administration in the Public Service.
The following article is an analysis of Bill C-71, which resulted from the Commission's report and from the work of a Special Committee of the House established in 1961.
La succession du chef d'entreprise dans les petites et moyennes entreprises
Authors: Cambien Stephan 
Published: October 2017

Le problème de la succession du chef d'entreprise prend un relief particulier dans les petites et moyennes entreprises. Il recouvre en effet toute la question de la formation professionnelle et de l'épanouissement personnel des futurs chefs d'entreprise; il inclut la question de la collaboration et de l'opposition entre chefs d'entreprise de générations différentes et pose, avec dix ans d'avance, tout le problème de l'avenir de l'entreprise. On peut donc, en conséquence, considérer ce vaste problème comme la jonction de plusieurs routes, comme la synthèse de beaucoup de problèmes divergents.
Mais ce n'est pas à ce caractère composite que le problèmede la succession dans les petites et moyennes entreprisesdoit son principal intérêt; il le doit à sa nouveauté,car, jusqu'à présent, ce problème n'a pas été étudié, sinontrès peu et en tout cas jamais systématiquement. On ne sepose en général la question que lorsqu'il est trop tard pourla résoudre efficacement et judicieusement. C'est à causede cette négligence que tant de petites et moyennes entreprisesressemblent si fort à des organismes sous-dévéloppéset sous-alimentés.
