description: Актуальность темы обусловлена необходимостью совершенствования механизма государственного регулирования и поддержки малого предпринимательства в рамках стимулирования развития экономики. Предмет исследования механизм государственного регулирования и поддержки малого предпринимательства в условиях экономической нестабильности. Цель работы разработка мер по повышению эффективности механизма государственного регулирования и поддержки малого предпринимательства в современн ых условиях. В статье обоснована высокая значимость института предпринимательства в социально-экономическом развитии территорий. Малый бизнес способствует насыщению рынка разнообразными товарами и услугами, увеличению налоговых поступлений в бюджеты всех уровней, созданию дополнительных рабочих мест и, как следствие, снижению безработицы и социальной напряженности в обществе и т.д. Проблемы, ограничивающие функционирование малых предприятий связаны с высокой налоговой нагрузкой, ограниченностью финансовых ресурсов, несовершенством законодательства, избыточными проверками контрольно-налоговых органов, трудностью доступа к материальным ресурсам и инфраструктуре и др. Меры государственного регулирования и поддержки малого бизнеса связаны с реализацией административных и экономических методов, включающих нормативно-правовое регулирование, антимонопольную политику, контроль цен и доходов, подготовку кадров, лицензирование, субсидирование, кредитные программы, бюджетное инвестирование, государственные гарантии, имущественную поддержку и т.д. На основе анализа современного состояния малого предпринимательства сделан вывод о не достаточной эффективности предпринимаемых государством мер поддержки и предложены направления совершенствования механизма финансовой поддержки малых предприятий.

description: We investigate the performance of superconducting nanowire photon detectors fabricated from ultra-thin Nb. A direct comparison is made between these detectors and similar nanowire detectors fabricated from NbN. We find that Nb detectors are significantly more susceptible than NbN to thermal instability (latching) at high bias. We show that the devices can be stabilized by reducing the input resistance of the readout. Nb detectors optimized in this way are shown to have approximately 2/3 the reset time of similar large-active-area NbN detectors of the same geometry, with approximately 6% detection efficiency for single photons at 470 nm.

description: В статье представлены материалы исследований по отбору in vitro толерантных к засухе соматических клонов чая (Sc-4, Sc-15, Sc-27, Sc-33), полученных индукцией геммогенеза из каллусной ткани. Осмотический стресс был смоделирован путем добавления в питательную среду полиэтиленгликоля (PEG-30,0 г/л). Изменения физиологических параметров при водном дефгщите изучали по показателяхt относительной электропроводности и стабильности клеточных мембран, с использованием кондуктометра ST300C. Добавление PEG в питательную среду вызывало повышение электропроводности у всех изученных соматических клонов чая, за исключением Sc-27, у которого этот показатель был ниже по сравнению с контролем. Стабильность клеточных мембран у Sc-27 была выше по сравнению с контролем. Эти данные свидетельствуют о низком уровне повреждения растительных тканей. Проведенный ПЦР анализ показал, что ген дегидрин 2 (DHN2), который является одним из главных генетических маркеров ответа растений на засуху, экспрессировался существенно выше у сомаклона Sc-27. По всем изученным параметрам соматический клон чая Sc-27 предварительно может быть отобран как засухоустойчивый генотип и использован в дальнейшей селещионной программе.
Vacuum structure around identity based solutions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We explore vacuum structure in bosonic open string field theory expanded around an identity based solution parameterized by $a$ (>= -1/2). Analyzing the expanded theory by using level truncation approximation up to level 14, we find that the theory has a stable vacuum solution for $a$>-1/2. The vacuum energy and the gauge invariant overlap numerically approach those of the tachyon vacuum solution with increasing truncation level. Also we find that, at $a$=-1/2, there exists an unstable vacuum solution in the expanded theory and it rapidly becomes the trivial zero configuration just above $a$=-1/2. The numerical behavior of the two gauge invariants suggests that the unstable solution corresponds to the perturbative open string vacuum. These results reasonably support the expectation that the identity based solution is a trivial pure gauge configuration for $a$>-1/2, but it can be regarded as the tachyon vacuum solution at $a$=-1/2.

Performance appraisal of a diesel generator powered by biodiesel
Creators: name: Crosthwait, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This project conducts a performance appraisal of a new Tasmanian grown biodiesel as compared with a commercially available Australian biodiesel. The innovation patent recipe for the Tasmanian blend is a fuel that is derived from canola oil and poppy seed oil, both of which grow plentifully in Tasmania; the oils are transformed into a fuel through a transesterification reaction. The second biodiesel, commercially produced by South Australian Farmers Fuel, will be tested in conjunction with the Tasmanian biodiesel. The tests planned are to assess the commercial competitiveness of the Tasmanian fuel against a leading Australian biodiesel. As part of this work, both biodiesels will be analysed against a baseline of petroleum diesel to compare the relative advantages and disadvantages of implementing biodiesel as a diesel substitute. The performance appraisal involves the study of emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, as well as the opacity and fuel consumption of a generator. To conduct the tests a generator unit is proposed that will be fitted with instrumentation including: emissions analyser, smokemeter, temperatures probes, load bank, power meter, rpm sensor and flow board. The load applied to the generator is varied at levels of 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the rated power. The results will be benchmarked against published literature. The observations of this study have highlighted that the emissions of carbon monoxide decrease with the use of biodiesel due to the higher oxygen content. The hydrocarbon emissions were reduced for nearly all biodiesels and blends because of the biodiesels superior combustion characteristics. The tailpipe exhaust emissions for biodiesel of carbon dioxide were relatively consistent with those of diesel fuel; however, biodiesel decreases carbon dioxide emissions over its life cycle when the plants absorb carbon dioxide during their growth period. The nitrous oxide emissions were increased, as expected, due to the nature of the oils from which the biodiesel had been derived. The opacity showed only minor increases for most biodiesels, which is consistent with other recent work. The fuel consumption increased as well with the use of neat biodiesel, again this is consistent with current literature. The results indicate that biodiesel may be used in an unmodified diesel generator and provide some improvement in the exhaust emissions.
Othering and voice: How media framing denies refugees integration opportunities

description: Mainstream media play a significant role in shaping public opinion in modern society. For refugees, misinterpretation (including associations with victimhood, foreignness and deviant behaviour) can hinder integration into New Zealand society and the ability to fully participate in their new communities. This may affect refugees’ successful transition into the workforce through effects on both their self-image and mental health, as well as contributing to negative attitudes in potential employers. This study examines the linguistic framing of refugees in New Zealand print media. Starting from the assumption that language is socially constitutive, a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework is used to explore discourses surrounding this group, to uncover out-of-sight linguistic strategies that reproduce existing structures of power and inequality. Analysis indicates that discourses around refugees create a negative semantic prosody, or ‘aura’ of meaning, in which they are framed as a policy ‘issue’ and as ‘othered’ victims. Furthermore, refugees are afforded little opportunity to define their experiences in their own terms. Addressing refugees’ misrepresentation and any wider societal effects involves granting greater voice to refugees without the need for an ‘expert’ voice to validate their views. Equally, replacing the existing taken-for-granted framing of refugees to positive framings of strength, capability and resilience could arguably counter the ‘othering’ this group experiences and the barriers it may create to inhibit successful transition to employment.

description: В статье представлены результаты исследований аллелопатических свойств многолетних газонообразующих растений, приспособленных к абиотическим и адафическим условиям предгорной зоны КБР. Понижение устойчивости агроценоза, особенно в смешанных посевах, связано с аллелопатической активностью растений, входящих в состав ценоза. Объектами исследований были фитоценозы, конструированные двумя способами: сплошным, полосным. В состав фитоценоза входили: райграс пастбищный (Lolium perenne L.), мятлик луговой (Роа pratensis L.), полевица побегоносная (Agröstis stolonifera L.), овсяница красная (Festuca rubra L.), овсяница овечья (Festuca ovina F). Получены результаты исследований аллелопатических свойств амброзии полыннолистной и возможности ингибирования ее роста и развития некоторыми злаковыми компонентами газонного фитоценоза. Аллелопатическая активность многолетних злаковых растений в чистых посевах ниже, чем в смешанном фитоценозе. Низкой аллелопатической активностью характеризовались чистые посевы овсяницы овечьей (Festuca ovina F) 28 УЕК и овсяницы красной (Festuca rubra Ғ) 35УЕК, наибольшая у полевицы побегоносной (Agröstis stolonifera F) и райграса пастбищного (Lolium perenne L.) и составляла соответственно 94 УЕК и 78 УЕК. На третий год функционирования газонного фитоценоза конкурентная мощность амброзии сократилась в 1,75 раза в полосной структуре фитоценоза и в 3,99 раза в сплошной структуре фитоценоза. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для борьбы с сегеталъной растительностью, в частности с амброзией полыннолистной в селитебной зоне путем создания устойчивых газонных фитоценозов.

Лукьяненко», предлагаемых для возделывания в предгорной зоне Республики Адыгея. При наблюдении за вегетационным периодом растений кукурузы отмечена его длина порядка 116-124 дней, в зависимости от гибрида. Более продолжительным вегетационным периодом выделился гибрид Краснодарский 395СВ ВЛ, а самым скороспелым оказался гибрид Краснодарский 377АМВ. По параметрам роста растений и высотой прикрепления початка на стебле выделился гибрид Краснодарский 395СВ ВЛ (132 см), самые низкие показатели отмечены у гибрида Краснодарский 377АМВ (118 см). Формирование высокой листостебелъной массы, наряду с высоким выходом полноценного зерна кукурузы, имеет весьма важное значение для животноводства. В данном случае, преимущество в показателях продуктивности отмечались по гибридам Краснодарский 395СВ ВЛ с урожайностью зерна 48,3 т/га и Краснодарский 385МВ 45,3 т/га. Более высокая урожайность зерна получена у гибрида Краснодарский 395СВ ВЛ 6,48 т/га зерна, что превышает другие образцы в среднем на 0,20-0,44 т/га зерна, и он же оказался наиболее рентабельным среди исследуемых гибридов (85,1 %). По результатам исследования сельхозтоваропроизводителям Республики Адыгея будет выгодно возделывание отечественных гибридов кукурузы таких как Краснодарский 395СВ ВЛ и Краснодарский 370МВ, которые способны обеспечить высокую рентабельность производимой продукции в пределах 85,1 %, 80,9 %, соответственно.

description: Для эффективного и экологически безопасного выращивания растений белокочанной капусты на территории Юга России как альтернативу химическим препаратам для защиты посевов от вредителей следует применять биологические препараты. При разработке новых технологий выращивания овощной продукции все чаще стали применять эитомопатогеииые нематоды, которые хорошо зарекомендовали себя как эффективная защита овощных культур от вредителей. При их применении, многие исследователи получают экологически чистую продукцию с повышением урожайности до 35-40 %. В условиях КБР численность гусениц чешуекрылых зачастую переваливает за пороговый уровень безопасности, тем самым заставляя фермеров прибегать к немедленной обработке быстродействуюгцими препаратами, чтобы спасти урожай белокочанной капусты. В связи с этим, как наиболее безопасное и эффективное средство от этих вредителей в результате опытов был испытан Лепидоцид, как одно из наиболее перспективных на данный момент средств из российских препаратов, содержагцих эндоксии. Повсеместно применяемый препарат Денис эксперт, КЭ имеет много отргщательных свойств в числе главных загрязнение окружающей среды и снижение экологичности получаемой продукции. А также, как показывает практика, не всегда эффективна в засушливых районах вырагцивания белокочанной капусты. В период сбора кочана белокочанной капусты растения достаточно устойчивы к вредителям, однако при массовом их распространении товарность кочана заметно ухудшается и для того чтобы выдержать экологические нормы необходимо пользоваться биопрепаратами, которые достаточно эффективно справляются с вредителями сокращая их численность. Экспериментальным путем доказано, что применение препарата Лепидоцид в ходе опытов позволило получить продукцию высокого качества. В исследованиях также применяли Лепидоцид для снижения численности гусениц репной белянки. Исследованиялги установлено, что они были менее подвержены эффекту от применения ЛепиОоциОа. При оценке урожайности существенной прибавки в опыте не отмечено. В варианте без применения препаратов (вода) этот показатель составил 4,22 т/га, в варианте с Децис эксперт, КЭ 4,53 т/га, при обработке Лепидоцидом 4,48 т/га.

description: The Carpentaria Basin is a Mesozoic basin located in the northernmost part of Australia and is centered around the Gulf of Carpentaria . It forms part of the Great Australian Superbasin that includes the Eromanga, Surat, Nambour and Clarence-Morton basins to the south, the Laura Basin, to the east, and the Papuan Basin to the north. In a west-east direction it extends for about 1250 km from the area of Katherine in the Northern Territory to the Great Dividing Range in Queensland. A small portion of the basin reaches the east coast of Queensland in the Olive River region. In a north-south direction it extends for over 1000 km from Cape York to Cloncurry, in Queensland. The basin has a total area of over 750,000 km2, comparable in size to the state of New South Wales. From a geographic standpoint the sediments of the Carpentaria Basin occur in three areas: offshore below the Gulf of Carpentaria, onshore to the west in the Northern Territory, and onshore to the east in Queensland. This report focuses on the geology and energy resource potential of the onshore areas of the basin but, to provide a broader understanding of the basin evolution there is, of necessity, some discussion of the geology offshore.
Modelling ice-shelf/ocean interaction
Creators: name: Galton-Fenzi, BK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The effect of climate change on the mass balance of ice shelves and bottom water formation is investigated using a terrain-following three-dimensional numerical ocean model. The Regional Ocean Modeling System was modified to simulate the thermodynamic processes beneath ice shelves, including direct basal processes and frazil ice dynamics. Process-orientated studies of simplified ice-shelf-ocean cavities investigate the sensitivity of the melting/freezing to the various parametrisations which describe the internal physics of the models. The Amery Ice Shelf/ocean model is forced with tides, seasonal winds and relaxation to seasonal lateral boundary climatologies. The open ocean surface fluxes are modified by an imposed climatological sea-ice cover that includes the seasonal effect of polynyas. The circulation and basal melting and freezing show good agreement with glaciological and oceanographic observations that have been collected from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf via boreholes through the ice and in the adjacent area of Prydz Bay. Strong horizontal and thermohaline (\ice-pump\") circulation is primarily driven by melting and refreezing of the ice shelf. The net basal melt rate is `~45` `Gt` `year^-1` (`~0.7` `m` `year^-1`) which represents 67 % of the total mass loss of the Amery Ice Shelf. The total amount of refreezing is `~5.3` `Gt` `year^-1` of which 70 % is due to frazil accretion. The seasonal variability of the basal melt/freeze (up to `¬¨¬±1` `m` `year^-1`) within 100 km of the open ocean is the same magnitude as the area-averaged melt rates. The annual averaged bottom water formation rates are `~`1.2 Sv to the west of the Amery in the vicinity of Cape Darnley. The Amery Ice Shelf/ocean model is used to investigate the sensitivity of the basal melt/freeze and bottom water formation to the inclusion of various physical mechanisms and changes in forcing. Direct comparison with glaciological observations shows that ice-shelf models that include frazil processes improve the simulated pattern of marine ice accretion. Simulations without ice-shelf/ocean thermodynamic processes overestimate bottom water formation by up to 2.8 times as much as simulations with ice-shelf/ocean thermodynamic processes due to the missing buoyant freshwater from the melting ice shelf. Climate change sensitivity studies suggest that an ocean warming of 1¬¨‚àûC above present day temperatures can potentially remove the Amery Ice Shelf in ‚ÄövÑvÆ500 years solely due to increased basal melting and can also lead to a significant decrease in the formation of bottom water. This research contributes to understanding how interaction between ice shelves and various forcing mechanisms can lead to changes in basal melt/freeze and dense water formation which has major implications for the stability of ice shelves sea level rise and the salt budget of the global oceans."

description: In this work a mu=-1 metamaterial (MM) lens for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is demonstrated. MRI uses surface coils to detect the radiofrequency(RF) energy absorbed and emitted by the nuclear spins in the imaged object. The proposed MM lens manipulates the RF field detected by these surface coils, so that the coil sensitivity and spatial localization is substantially improved. Beyond this specific application, we feel that the reported results are the experimental confirmation of a new concept for the manipulation of RF field in MRI, which paves the way to many other interesting applications.

title: Tryptophan Catabolism by Lactobacillus spp. : Biochemistry and Implications on Flavor Development in Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
Creators: name: Gummalla, Sanjay
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1998

description: Amino acids derived from the degradation of casein in cheese serve as precursors for the generation of key flavor compounds. Microbial degradation of tryptophan (Trp) is thought to promote formation of aromatic compounds that impart putrid fecal or unclean flavors in cheese, but pathways for their production have not been established. This study investigated tryptophan catabolism by Lactobacillus casei LC301 and LC202 and Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ32 and LH212 cheese flavor adjuncts in carbohydrate starvation (pH 6.5, 30 or 37°C, no sugar) and cheese-like conditions (pH 5.2, 4% NaCl, 15°C, no sugar). Enzyme assays of cell-free extracts revealed both species of Lactobacillus catabolized tryptophan to indole lactic acid via indole pyruvic acid through transamination followed by dehydrogenation. Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography of culture supernatants showed these enzymes also catalyzed the reverse reactions, i.e., conversion of indole lactic acid to tryptophan. Tryptophan decarboxylase activity was detected in Lactobacillus cell-free extracts, but tryptamine was not detected in culture supernatants. Analysis of culture supernatants showed that tryptophan metabolism in Lactobacillus casei did not differ between the two conditions of incubation as it did in Lactobacillus helveticus LH212 and CNRZ32. Lactobacillus helveticus LH212, for example, did not catabolize Trp in carbohydrate starvation but did in cheese-like conditions. While cells of L. helveticus CNRZ32 did not catabolize Trp in either condition, they catabolized indole pyruvic acid to only Trp in carbohydrate starvation and to both Trp and indole lactic acid in cheese-like conditions. Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography of culture supernatants incubated under either starvation or cheese-like conditions showed Lactobacillus casei strains produced more indole lactic acid, and Lactobacillus helveticus strains favored tryptophan anabolic reactions. Based on the results obtained in this study, a putative pathway for the catabolism of tryptophan by lactobacilli in cheese is proposed.

title: Identification of Non-Nuclear Receptors for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in Chick Kidney and Brain
Creators: name: Jia, Zhiheng
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1998

description: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) has been shown to mediate the rapid, non-nuclear stimulation of calcium and phosphate transport in chick intestine through binding to a receptor localized in the basal lateral membrane. By using an antibody to the N-terminus of the membrane receptor, studies were undertaken to determine whether a comparable protein exists in kidney and brain, and whether it is present in a particular subcellular fraction.
The first step was to establish fractionation protocols to separate subcellular organelles as judged by marker enzyme analyses. Differential centrifugation and Percoll gradient fractions were prepared from chick kidney and brain whole homogenates by two methods (method 1 and method 2). Protein and marker enzymes were analyzed in each fraction to determine the distribution of organelles. By method 1, the organelles were not adequately separated. By method 2, chick kidney and brain were found to have the same order of organelle distribution: In the post-nuclear pellet (P2), fraction 1 was found to be enriched for the lysosomal marker acid phosphatase; fractions 2-5 were found to be enriched for the mitochondrial marker succinate dehydrogenase; fraction 8 was found to be enriched for the Golgi marker α-D-mannosidase; and fraction 9 was found to be enriched for the plasma membrane marker Na+,K+ ATPase. In Percoll gradients of microsomal membranes prepared from the 100,000xg pellet (P3), fractions 1-3 contained the endoplasmic reticulum marker enzyme activity glucose-6-phosphatase.
Subsequently, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDSPAGE) and Western blots were performed using the antibody to 1,25(OH)2D3 receptors in chick intestinal basal lateral membrane. The areas of the bands were scanned by computer, and analyzed quantitatively. After establishing a suitable protein concentration for Western analysis, differential centrifugation and Percoll gradient fractions were analyzed. Finally, the specific binding of [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 was determined in Percoll gradient fractions to assess whether the receptor is functional. Plasma membrane 1,25(OH)2D3 receptors were found in both chick kidney and brain cells. Golgi membranes also were found to have receptor activity, perhaps since this organelle packages proteins for delivery to other membranes. In kidney, fraction P27 demonstrated a very high receptor activity, and [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 specific binding assays showed these membrane receptors are functional. Although this fraction lacks traditional marker enzyme activity, it may contain endocytic vesicles. The physiological function and the mechanism of action of plasma membrane receptors in these two tissues remain to be determined.

description: Mit Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker (1912–2007) widmet sich der vorliegende Band einem der letzten universal gebildeten Gelehrten im deutschen Sprachraum aus Anlass seines 100. Geburtstages. Er war Physiker und Philosoph, interdisziplinär wirkender Gelehrter und Direktor eines Max-Planck-Instituts zur Erforschung der Lebensbedingungen der wissenschaftlich-technischen Welt, Politikerberater, Friedensforscher, engagierter Christ und querdenkender Intellektueller. Alle diese Rollen werden von Historikern verschiedener Fachgebiete, aber auch von Zeitgenossen analysiert und kritisch gewertet. Die Beiträge betten Weizsäckers Wirken in eine Vielzahl von Zeitsträngen und historischen Kontexten ein und versuchen ihm sowohl als Person psychologisch-sozial wie auch als Denker kognitiv-intellektuell gerecht zu werden. Mit einer Konzentration auf in der umfangreichen Literatur zu Weizsäcker bislang noch nicht Behandeltes will die Anthologie in sieben Themenbereichen (Persönlichkeit, Physik, Philosophie der Natur, Verbindung zur Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Konzepte, Friedensforschung und Politik sowie Wechselwirkungen) einen Beitrag zur weiteren Forschung leisten.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a 10 fs light pulse propagating in a random medium by the direct solution of the 3D Maxwell equations. Our approach employs molecular dynamics to generate a distribution of spherical scatterers and a parallel finite-difference time-domain code for the vectorial wave propagation. We calculate the disorder-averaged energy velocity and the decay time of the transmitted pulse Versus the localization length for an increasing refractive index.

title: Establishing Threshold Levels of Nitrite Causing Pinking of Cooked Meat

description: Sporadic problems with pink color defect, or pinking, has occurred in cooked meat products for decades. Pink color can be due to the presence of undenatured myoglobin, denatured globin hemochromes, or nitrosylhemochrome. This research documented the level of added nitrite that produced nitrosylhemochrome in processed meat rolls from fabricated beef round, pork shoulder, turkey breast, and chicken breast. For each meat type, preliminary studies were conducted to narrow the range at which added nitrite caused pinking. Subsequently, the nitrite levels were increased incrementally by 1-ppm, and pink color was measured by trained panelists and by a Hunter color meter. Nitrosylhemochrome content was determined by acetone extraction.
Panel and instrumental measurements identified pink color in beef samples formulated with 14-ppm nitrite; nitrosohemochrome extracts detected pigment at 12- ppm. Nitrite levels that caused pinking in pork shoulder were much lower than in beef. Panelists identified pink color at 4-ppm nitrite, and Hunter color meter values showed increased redness at 6-ppm. Pigment extraction detected nitrosylhemochrome at 4- ppm added nitrite. The trained panel and Hunter color meter detected pink color in turkey breast at 2-ppm added nitrite; nitrosohemochrome extraction detected pink pigment at 3-ppm added nitrite. In chicken breast, pink color was detected visually and instrumentally at 1-ppm added nitrite. Pigment extraction detected nitrosylhemochrome at 2-ppm added nitrite. Lower levels of nitrite (1-3-ppm) caused pinking in light-colored meats (turkey and chicken breast, meats with total pigment between 19-ppm and 27-ppm). Higher levels of nitrite (5-14-ppm) caused pink color defect in dark pigmented meat (beef round and pork shoulder, meats with total pigment levels between 56-ppm and 147-ppm). Regression analysis was used to relate total pigment and the minimum level of nitrite causing pinking. The minimum nitrite level causing pinking was the lowest level of nitrite at which the trained panel, acetone extraction, and instrumental results detected pink color or nitrosyl pigment. The formula obtained from the model was as follows: Y = 0.092X + 0.53, where "Y" is the minimum level of added nitrite to cause pinking and "X" is the total pigment of the meat. This formula can be used to estimate the level of nitrite that can be expected to cause pinking in a wide range of pigmented meats.

description: The spiritual formation and direction of institutions comes from the spiritual formation and direction of its individuals. And these processes of formation ultimately come from moments of questioning, tragedy, and discernment. This year, 2011, marks the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the start of the American Civil War—the war “between” the states. That first December of the conflict, a young man, twenty-three years old, had been called from his travels, lecturing, preaching, and Hebrew studies in Pittsburgh. He was summoned by the news of his younger brother’s deteriorating health—his brother having recently been among the federal soldiers engaged in troop training and preparations against their rebel opponents in central Kentucky. The Battle of Munfordsville, Kentucky, which pit Union Colonel John T. Wilder against Confederate Brigadier General James R. Chalmers, would not happen for another year there. The horrors of war, though, were not simply in guns and their leaden bullets, but such things as dysentery and other illnesses, which decimated troops on both sides. This paper will address the education of a young man—the gradual learning of a nineteenth century thinker, writer, pastor, and theologian, who struggled with the doubt, pain, loss, and suffering of his place and times. The spiritual formation, pedagogy, and theological learning that we shall see is that of a young boy turned man, living and experiencing the Word of God in mostly rural Pennsylvania, until his travels bring him into the broader sphere of his mentor William Passavant in Chicago and elsewhere in the 1860s. By the time Roth went to live in Chicago in 1887, to take over a parish, his reputation as a pedagogue was significant, and led him to be one of the primary co-founders of the Chicago Lutheran Theological Seminary. Today we will look at what led up to this, and who this talented thinker and teacher was.
Estimation of premorbid intelligence in traumatic brain injury : NART and AUSNART performance in an Australian sample

description: The National Adult Reading Test (NART: Nelson, 1982; Nelson & Willison, 1991) is the most commonly used method for estimating premorbid intelligence in neuropsychological practice and research. It has been used extensively in dementia research (Brayne & Beardsall, 1990; Nelson & O'Connell, 1978) and to a lesser degree in traumatic brain injury (TBI) research (Crawford, Parker & Besson, 1988a). Recent findings suggest NART scores may be sensitive to TBI (Riley & Simmonds, 2003), although available studies are limited by small, mixed injury severity samples and ill-defined severity criteria and assessment time post-injury. Concerns have also been raised regarding the applicability of the NART for Australians as it was developed with a British sample. The Australian National Adult Reading Test (AUSNART: Hennessey & McKenzie, 1994) was developed to address these concerns; however norms were small and limited to Psychology Undergraduate students. There is no published research examining AUSNART in an Australian TBI population. The aims of the current research were to examine the effects of TBI on NART and AUSNART performance, investigate the influence of demographic variables and compare performance on the two tests. Participants were from a large TBI population study and a longitudinal repeated measures design was implemented. Study 1 examined the NART performance of 194 participants at 1, 6 and 12 months post-injury. A significant reduction in NART error score was observed by 6 months post-injury, indicating NART scores are sensitive to TBI. A highly significant effect of education was also noted, with higher level of education providing protection from NART 'impairment'. Age, socio-economic status (SES) and TBI severity also significantly influenced NART scores. Study 2 examined AUSNART performance of 92 participants and was found to be less sensitive to TBI than NART. There was no significant change in AUSNART performance at 6 months, though a significant reduction in error score was noted by 12 months. Age, severity and SES did not significantly affect AUSNART performance but education remained highly influential. AUSNART produced significantly higher estimates of IQ than NART. Study 3 examined two methods for predicting NART performance following TBI: a Multiple Regression equation using initial NART score and a mean NART change score method based on education and age. Tables are provided for each method to assist clinicians. Overall, the results indicate caution is necessary when using the NART to estimate premorbid IQ in an Australian TBI population. AUSNART may eventually provide a more valid estimate than NART, although larger normative studies are required before it can be used with confidence.
On the Origin of Gravity and the Laws of Newton

description: Starting from first principles and general assumptions Newton's law of gravitation is shown to arise naturally and unavoidably in a theory in which space is emergent through a holographic scenario. Gravity is explained as an entropic force caused by changes in the information associated with the positions of material bodies. A relativistic generalization of the presented arguments directly leads to the Einstein equations. When space is emergent even Newton's law of inertia needs to be explained. The equivalence principle leads us to conclude that it is actually this law of inertia whose origin is entropic.

description: Abstract Navigating the labour market in a new context can be a challenge for any migrant, and particularly so for former refugees, who are often unable to find employment appropriate for their qualification and experience levels. This study takes an Interactional Sociolinguistic approach to exploring how three former refugees navigate employability in narrative, from the social constructionist perspective of employable identities, emergent from and negotiated within discourse. The study focuses specifically on the participants’ discursive navigation of their various (Bourdieusian) social and cultural capital and its importance to labour market performance. Evident in the data are the difficulties of translating – or having recognised – a lifetime’s accumulation of capital, often rendered worthless upon migration. Such challenges impact upon forced migrants’ ability to successfully enact employability, and subsequently upon their imagined (future) identities. This research highlights former refugees’ complex challenges involved with successful navigation of employability in a new context.
title: The Effects of a Very-Low-Calorie-Diet on Resting Energy Expenditure, Body Composition, and Biochemical Data in Obese Outpatients

description: Obesity is a disease of major proportion in the United States. The Surgeon General has identified obesity as a national health problem that affects approximately 34 million Americans.
The aim of this study was to investigate the very-low-calorie diet, Optifast 70. Measurements for resting energy expenditure (REE} and body composition via circumference measurements (CBF} and infrared photospectromerty (NIR} with a Futrex 5000 were collected at weeks 1, 7, 13, 19, and 25. Biochemical data, including serum chemistry panel (SMA-12} and complete blood count (CBC}, were collected on weeks 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25. Lipid profiles were drawn on weeks 1 and 25.
Participants ranged in age from 27 to 64. Subjects' mean body mass loss was -20.4 kg ± 6.6 kg with a maximum body mass loss of -33.23 kg and minimum body mass loss of -9.770 kg. Mean loss in body fat mass using infrared photospectrometry as a measurement was -13.4 kg; mean loss of lean body mass was -4.2 kg. A significant change was noted in resting energy expenditure over the course of the diet, and a positive correlation was identified between loss of body mass and resting energy expenditure. No significant correlation was identified between the loss of lean body mass or body fat mass and its relationship to resting energy expenditure. Both circumference and infrared body fat measurements showed a positive correlation as the loss in body mass increased, making their reliability better as subjects approached desirable weight. In examining biochemical data, only cholesterol showed a significant change over the course of the diet; all other parameters remained within normal limits. Variations in patients' lipid profiles were identified, but no significant changes were noted.
