description: A method and apparatus for simulating a microelectronic circuit or system includes the storing of a microelectronic circuit or system representation in a computer and then transforming the representation into an equivalent DC circuit containing resistive, capacitive and inductive elements. Then, a directed graph of the DC equivalent circuit is generated and a spanning tree is constructed therefrom. The spanning tree is then actually or virtually traversed to obtain multiple generations of circuit moments. The moments are then used to calculate the poles and residues for a given node and generate an approximate model of the circuit's transient response at that node. Moment shifting is used to provide for a stable approximate model. The actual residues corresponding to the coefficients of the time domain representation for the model can be calculated using the first q-1 moments. This constitutes a partial-Pade approximation.

description: This thesis explores post-Islamist transformations of Jamaat-e Islami Hind, with special reference to its Keralite chapter. It traces the historical and political context in which the ideology of political Islam in India was formulated, and explores the diverse factors leading to the deideologization of Islamism. I examine Jamaat-e Islami’s transformations in the spheres of politics, in JI’s relationship with newly established modern democratic state and secular public sphere in addition to the development of the transformative discourse of gender relations within the Islamist movement. At the end, on a concluding note, the thesis studies the diversification of political trends within Indian Islamism. The thesis contributes to the literature on Indian Islamism, and to the wider scholarship on Islamic reform and Post-Islamism.

description: Objectives The question whether mental illness prevalence rates are increasing is a controversially debated topic. Epidemiological articles and review publications that look into this research issue are often compromised by methodological problems. The present study aimed at using a meta‐analysis technique that is usually applied for the analysis of intervention studies to achieve more transparency and statistical precision. Methods We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Google Scholar and reference lists for repeated cross‐sectional population studies on prevalence rates of adult mental illness based on ICD‐ or DSM‐based diagnoses, symptom scales and distress scales that used the same methodological approach at least twice in the same geographical region. The study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42018090959). Results We included 44 samples from 42 publications, representing 1 035 697 primary observations for the first time point and 783 897 primary observations for the second and last time point. Studies were conducted between 1978 and 2015. Controlling for a hierarchical data structure, we found an overall global prevalence increase in odds ratio of 1.179 (95%‐CI: 1.065–1.305). A multivariate meta‐regression suggested relevant associations with methodological characteristics of included studies. Conclusions We conclude that the prevalence increase in adult mental illness is small, and we assume that this increase is mainly related to demographic changes.

description: Described herein are methods and system that use electromagnetic heating to heat wellbores and the fluids therein. The heating is achieved by placing one or more permanent magnets in the wellbore and moving a metallic component and/or the one or more permanent magnets relative to each other. This generates eddy currents in the metallic component, which heat the metallic component. This heat is transferred to the fluids in the wellbore from the metallic component by convection. In some embodiments, permanent magnets are installed in the tubing to induce eddy current heating in a well by converting the linear motion of a sucker rod to rotary motion of a conducting tube using a lead or ball screw. The heater may directly integrate with existing pump jack equipment with little or no additional infrastructure required.
Reducing the moisture sensitivity of linear friction welded birch ( Betula pendula L.) wood through thermal modification

description: Linear friction welding of wood is a bonding process applied to wood and during which a stiff bond line is formed by the softening and rehardening of wood components to form a composite material composed mainly of wood fibres embedded in a modified lignin matrix. Unfortunately, the bonds tend to spontaneously delaminate or lose their strength when exposed to moist conditions. Some approaches were previously applied to overcome this problem, but so far a suitable solution has not been found. This paper presents results of applying post-welding thermal modification to reduce the moisture sensitivity of welded wood. The experiments included welding of birch wood, thermal modification under superheated steam at atmospheric pressure, internal bond (IB) and tensile-shear strength testing and soaking tests. As supposed, the non-modified reference specimens performed poorly after the seven days soaking test (on average 0.33 MPa IB strength), whereas the thermally modified specimens yielded almost the same IB strength in dry and wet condition (on average e.g. 1.15 and 0.93 MPa, respectively). Such a similar load bearing capacity in very different moisture conditions was previously reported only in the case of paduk wood. Similar to the reduction of IB strength occurred during the soaking test, also delamination was observed more clearly in non-modified reference specimens (e.g. 4 vs. 0 total delaminations after seven days soaking). Therefore, the authors suggest that post-welding thermal modification could provide a suitable bond-stabilisation method against moisture, although the process parameters must be optimised in further research, for instance, to ensure scalability.

description: In this study, well-known biodegradable poly [(β-butyrolactone-block-ethylene glycol methyl ether)-phthalocyanine- (β-butyrolactone-block-ethylene glycol methyl ether)] abbreviated as poly(BL-b-mEG)-Pc-poly(BL-b-mEG) copolymer was synthesised. In the first part, poly (β-butyrolactone-block-ethylene glycol methyl ether) [poly(BL-b-mEG)] block copolymer was prepared by ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) method of β-butyrolactone using poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether. In the second part, poly(BL-b-mEG)-Pc-poly(BL-b-mEG) copolymer was obtained from the reaction poly(BL-b-mEG) block copolymer, SiPcCl2, and K2CO3. Axial binding of poly(BL-b-mEG) block copolymers to the phthalocyanine compound was achieved. The synthesised products were characterised by using multi-instruments such as1H-NMR, FT-IR, GPC, ve UV-visible. The electronic and singlet oxygen production capacity of poly(BL-b-mEG)-Pc-poly(BL-b-mEG) copolymer was investigated.

description: A mixing and dispensing system for reactively combining organic chemical components to produce a rapidly polymerizing material for use in molding and encapsulating small and usually delicate devices, such as electronic components. The system uses a novel mix head incorporating a high speed rotary mixer having magnetic coupling for mixing and injecting relatively low viscosity polymerizing materials into a mold. The chemical feed to the mix head is from special chemical handling equipment. The design of the system eliminates the need for material control valves and enables relatively low feed line pressures. A novel chemical handling subsystem uses special tubular containers provided by the chemical material manufacturers that mount on specially designed dispensing equipment, and do not require special storage, handling, or mixing by trained personnel. The system has a mold cycle time of typically between 6 and 12 seconds in order to achieve complete polymerization, eliminating the need for curing ovens required in conventional encapsulation methods. The chemicals used in this system are not premixed, but are combined in the mix head just prior to filling a mold. They may be stored almost indefinitely if properly sealed. Because of the relatively low viscosity of the rapidly polymerizing materials, damage to fragile electronic interconnections during encapsulation are greatly reduced. Other advantages of this system is no inherent corrosion problems, lower moisture absorption than epoxy, and lower mold temperatures for reduced thermal stresses.

description: The present invention provides a method to reduce adhesion between a conformable region on a substrate and a pattern of a mold, which selectively comes into contact with the conformable region. The method features forming a conformable material on the substrate and contacting the conformable material with the surface. A conditioned layer is formed from the conformable material. The conditioned layer has first and second sub-portions, with the first sub-portion being solidified and the second sub-portion having a first affinity for the surface and a second affinity for the first sub-portion. The first affinity is greater than the second affinity. In this fashion, upon separation of the mold from the conditioned layer, a subset of the second sub-portion maintains contact with the mold, thereby reducing the probability that a pattern formed in the conditioned layer becomes compromised. These and other embodiments are described herein.

description: The radioactive gas radon (Rn) is considered as an indoor air pollutant due to its detrimental effects on humanhealth. In fact, exposure to Rn belongs to the most important causes for lung cancer after tobacco smoking. Thedominant source of indoor Rn is the ground beneath the house. The geogenic Rn potential (GRP) - a functionof soil gas Rn concentration and soil gas permeability - quantifies what“earth delivers in terms of Rn”and rep-resents a hazard indicator for elevated indoor Rn concentration. In this study, we aim at developing an improvedspatial continuous GRP map based on 4448field measurements of GRP distributed across Germany. Wefittedthree different machine learning algorithms, multivariate adaptive regression splines, random forest and supportvector machines utilizing 36 candidate predictors. Predictor selection, hyperparameter tuning and performanceassessment were conducted using a spatial cross-validation where the data was iteratively left out by spatialblocks of 40 km*40 km. Thisprocedure counteracts the effectofspatial auto-correlation in predictorand responsedata and minimizes dependence of training and test data. The spatial cross-validated performance statistics re-vealed that random forest provided the most accurate predictions. The predictors selected as informative reflectgeology, climate (temperature,precipitation and soil moisture), soil hydraulic, soilphysical (field capacity, coarsefraction) and soil chemical properties (potassium and nitrogen concentration). Model interpretation techniquessuch as predictor importance as well as partial and spatial dependence plots confirmed the hypothesized domi-nant effect of geology on GRP, but also revealed significant contributions of the other predictors. Partial and spa-tial dependence plots gave further valuable insight into the quantitative predictor-response relationship and itsspatial distribution. A comparison with a previous version of the German GRP map using 1359 independent testdata indicates a significantly better performance of the random forest based map.

description: Background Although work absenteeism is in the focus of occupational health, longitudinal studies on organizational absenteeism records in hospital work are lacking. This longitudinal study tests time pressure and lack of time autonomy to be related to higher sickness absenteeism. Methods Data was collected for 180 employees (45% nurses) of a Swiss hospital at baseline and at follow-up after 1 year. Absent times (hours per month) were received from the human resources department of the hospital. One-year follow-up of organizational absenteeism records were regressed on self-reported job satisfaction, time pressure, and time autonomy (i.e., control) at baseline. Results A multivariate regression showed significant prediction of absenteeism by time pressure at baseline and time autonomy, indicating that a stress process is involved in some sickness absenteeism behavior. Job satisfaction and the interaction of time pressure and time autonomy did not predict sickness absenteeism. Conclusion Results confirmed time pressure and time autonomy as limiting factors in healthcare and a key target in work redesign.

Material examined. 13 apterous males, 6 macropterous males, 9 apterous females, 5 macropterous females, 23 nymphs. BRAZIL, São Paulo State, Santo André, Serra do Mar, Paranapiacaba, Rio Vermelho, on and within foam masses, 23°47’17.7”S / 46°22’36.0”W, 761 m a.s.l., 24.I.2015, H. Rodrigues leg. All in MZUSP.
Remarks. This species has been recorded from Southeastern and Southern Brazil, and this is the third municipality record from the State of São Paulo (Moreira & Barbosa 2011; Rodrigues et al. 2014). Through the examination of the recently collected specimens, intraspecific variation in body length and particular morphological structures was observed. Body lengths measured 2.85–3.75 mm (macropterous male), 3.40–3.50 mm (apterous male), and 3.20 mm (macropterous female), some of which were smaller or greater than mentioned in the literature.
Most of the specimens have the margins of the pronotum, abdomen, and legs with several long setae (Fig. 13), but some have fewer setae along the body (Fig. 14). The pruinose area on the posterior lobe of the pronotum may be evident (Fig. 14) or not (Fig. 13), and the slight constriction on abdominal sternites III–IV of the female is more developed in the macropterous form, whereas some apterous females do not show this condition. Finally, a few specimens have the upper portion of the abdominal segments orange and the region below the points of insertion of lateral abdominal muscles dark brown to blackish.

description: X-ray microdensitometry tests on vibration-welded hardwoods (beech and oak) and a softwood (spruce) showed that adhesion of wood surfaces by vibration welding was accompanied by a considerable increase in the density of the wood at the bonded interface. This is due to the loss of the intercellular structure of the wood at the interface and considerable decrease of empty spaces in its cellular structure. The sharper and more regular is the increase in density at the interface the better is the mechanical performance of the joint. This was ascribed to the marked difference in wood density between earlywood and latewood. This intra-ring wood heterogeneity is a limiting factor for reaching high local compression rates during the welding process. In the case of spruce wood it causes cells collapse and, consequently, poorer bonding. Absolute and relative density maps of well-bonded, poorly-bonded and unbonded joints are reported. X-ray microdensitometry proved to be a valuable technique to determine the extent of wood welding.
