description: A importância da educação e promoção da saúde bucal no contexto escolar é um tema relevante e fundamental para o desenvolvimento integral de crianças e adolescentes. Este artigo tem como objetivo destacar a necessidade de abordar a saúde bucal de forma educativa nas escolas, visando não só a prevenção de doenças, mas também a formação de hábitos saudáveis e a conscientização sobre a importância da higiene bucal. A saúde bucal é uma questão que impacta diretamente na qualidade de vida das pessoas. Problemas dentários podem causar dor, dificuldade para comer, problemas de fala e baixa auto-estima. Por isso, é fundamental que as crianças sejam orientadas desde cedo sobre a importância de cuidar da saúde bucal. Nesse sentido, o ambiente escolar apresenta-se como um espaço propício para a promoção da educação em saúde bucal. Os professores podem incluir na grade curricular atividades educativas, como palestras, jogos e debates, que abordem temas como escovação correta, uso do fio dental, alimentação saudável e visitas regulares ao dentista. Além disso, a escola pode fazer parcerias com profissionais da odontologia, que podem desenvolver atividades práticas e preventivas, como aplicação de flúor, orientações sobre higiene bucal e exames odontológicos. Ao abordar a importância da educação e promoção da saúde bucal no contexto escolar, buscamos destacar a necessidade de investir na formação de crianças e adolescentes conscientes da importância dos cuidados com a saúde bucal, visando promover não apenas sorrisos bonitos, mas também um sorriso de melhor qualidade da vida.

description: Iterative decoding was not originally introduced as the solution to an optimization problem rendering the analysis of its convergence very difficult. In this paper, we investigate the link between iterative decoding and classical optimization techniques. We first show that iterative decoding can be rephrased as two embedded minimization processes involving the Fermi-Dirac distance. Based on this new formulation, an hybrid proximal point algorithm is first derived with the additional advantage of decreasing a desired criterion. In a second part, an hybrid minimum entropy algorithm is proposed with improved performance compared to the classical iterative decoding. Even if this paper focus on iterative decoding for BICM, the results can be applied to the large class of turbo-like decoders.
Aspects of the circle composition operation in rings
Creators: name: Chick, HL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis we will investigate some of the properties of the circle composition (or adjoint) operation in rings, where the operation o is defined by aob = a + b + ab. In arbitrary rings, R, the properties of addition and multiplication imply that (R, o) is a semigroup; in certain classes of rings this semigroup has additional properties and we shall examine a few of these. Our main concern will be commutative quasiregular (Jacobson radical) rings. In such rings (R, o) is an abelian group, giving R a second such structure besides (R,+). It seems a natural question to ask if these group structures can ever be isomorphic. The zero rings, in which multiplication is trivial, obviously have this property since the additive and circle composition groups coincide; thus the class, K, of rings having isomorphic additive and circle composition groups is non-empty. There are also non-trivial examples and we illustrate the construction of some, including the so-called quasifields which are constructed on partially ordered sets, and examples which use finite groups for addition. It might be suspected that for these less trivial examples the isomorphism between addition and circle composition will still force multiplication to behave in a nearly trivial way, so that perhaps such rings are nil or nilpotent. This need not be the case as there is a ring in K which has no zero divisors. In fact, we show that there exist rings in K which are nilpotent but not zero rings, nil but not nilpotent, and quasiregular without being nil. We will also consider the algebraic properties of the class K, including the question of its inheritance under ring theoretic constructions. In particular, we show that K is not a radical class, that it is closed under direct products, but that it is not hereditary and that it is not closed under homomorphisms nor taking quasiregular subrings. There are, however, certain subclasses of K which are better behaved, including, for example, rings which are algebras over Zp or Q and the rings constructed on certain finite groups. For commutative nilpotent rings we prove the existence of a polynomial homomorphism between the additive and circle composition groups, which in certain circumstances will be an isomorphism. We show, too, that all finitely generated nilpotent Q-algebras and Z-algebras are in K. The former result allows us to demonstrate that all commutative nil Q-algebras are in K. We conclude by considering a family of ring examples in which the circle composition semigroup is regular. Our construction is developed from the idea behind the quasifield construction and also generalised power series rings. We investigate the existence of nilpotence in such rings, and show that, like K, the class of rings in which (R,o) is a regular semigroup is not a radical class. This result also holds for the stronger property that (R,o) is a union of groups.

description: Globular clusters have long been considered the closest approximation to a physicist's laboratory in astrophysics, and as such a near-ideal laboratory for (low-mass) stellar evolution. However, recent observations have cast a shadow on this long-standing paradigm, suggesting the presence of multiple populations with widely different abundance patterns, and -- crucially -- with widely different helium abundances as well. In this review we discuss which features of the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram may be used as helium abundance indicators, and present an overview of available constraints on the helium abundance in globular clusters.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The problem of the automatic generation of logical consequences of a set of axioms is examined. The merging subsumption linear strategy has been shown complete with respect to that problem. A generalization of a set of support strategy is given, and the completeness of merging subsumption linear strategy with set of support is proved. The merging-linear-A-ordered strategy and the merging linear-C-ordered strategy have been shown to be incomplete. Relations between unit strategy and input strategy have been examined. A little review of the ‘interesting theorem’ is given.
Dynamics in the Metabasin Space of a Lennard-Jones Glass Former: Connectivity and Transition Rates

description: Using simulations, we construct the effective dynamics in metabasin space for a Lennard-Jones glass-former. Metabasins are identified via a scheme that measures transition rates between inherent structures, and generates clusters of inherent structures by drawing in branches that have the largest transition rates. The effective dynamics is shown to be Markovian but differs significantly from the simplest trap models. We specifically show that retaining information about the connectivity in metabasin space is crucial for reproducing the slow dynamics observed in this system.

The Spanish influenza pandemic in Tasmania, 1919 : a study of the impact and effect of influenza in Tasmania
Creators: name: Carnes, CS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The universality of influenza has made it a topic of discussion in all corners of the globe. The pandemic of 1918 - 1919 added much to the impetus of this debate and encouraged the writing of numerous books and articles in almost every language. This immediately limited my access to the wealth of materials available, though English editions proved quite adequate within the scope of work undertaken. MacFarlane Burnet and Ellen Clark's research into the cause and effects of influenza is one such work. An extensive analysis of the global effects of the pandemic by Richard Collier tackles the issue from a personalized viewpoint. However, the information provided is interesting and elaborate. A pioneering study by J.H.L. Cumpston, Federal Director of Quarantine in 1919, later historian, placed influenza in a political perspective. Cumpston recognized the need for a national system of quarantining so that a future epidemic may be fought in a more unified and systematic manner. He further emphasized that placing control of quarantine matters in the 'hands of committees with very little experience in the control of epidemics was inadequate. Subsequent events proved him correct. The author accepts the validity of this comment. The situation in Tasmania differed little to that on the mainland and can only reinforce Cumpston's view. Burnet and Clark urged the study of influenza because 'of the possible imminence of another great pandemic arising. This appears to be the criteria of many medical historians who are working even now to find an effective answer to the control of influenza. On the International scene the main function of the W.H.O. Influenza Surveillance Centre is to maintain a constant vigilance over the entire world. They must detect and erase influenza unless the nightmarish ghost of 1918 - 1919 may arise once more from the ashes.

description: Density of the polyacrylamide ultrathin films has been studied using X-ray reflectivity technique. Two sources (one powder and another aqueous solution) of polyacrylamide were used to prepare spin coated films on silicon substrate. Light scattering measurements show that the polymer chains were unentangled in a concentrated (4 mg/ml) as well as in a dilute (2 mg/ml) solution prepared from the powder, whereas the solution (4 mg/ml) prepared by diluting the solution source shows entangled chain morphology. Three sets of films of different thicknesses were prepared using the three solutions by spin coating on silicon substrates. Comparison of X-ray reflectivity data for as prepared and dry films reveals that the shrinkage of the films decreases with increasing thickness. Average electron densities of the films were found to follow a trend of higher density for thinner films with a maximum increase of about 12% compared to the bulk. The densities of all the films irrespective of the nature of entanglement and concentration of their source were found to increase with spin speed of coating and attain saturation at higher speed. Absence of correlation between shrinkage and density data and the fact that the densities of all the films follow a master curve irrespective of their origin suggest that the higher density of the films result from the higher orientation of chains as a consequence of an interplay between stretching and stronger attractive interactions of polar nature.

Discrimination of auditory signals in schizotypy
Creators: name: Ranson, VA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The resting state hypothesis is a recent theoretical account of auditory verbal (AVH) hallucinations in schizophrenia, which is an alternative to the conventional explanation of the forward model. This study aimed to test one component of the hypothesis, termed the rest-stimulus interaction, using electroencephalography. Using schizotypy as a proxy for schizophrenia, 28 psychology students were recruited into high/low schizotypy groups. Event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded under two passive auditory conditions that specifically excluded the motor component associated with speaking in real time and that is intrinsic to the forward model. ERP peaks N 1 and P2 were analysed using a hierarchical regression approach, with schizotypy and hallucination experience separately tested as predictors and controlling for depression, anxiety, and stress. Schizotypy was associated with a difference in the amplitude of the initial attentional response (represented by N 1) between the two conditions, but in the opposite direction to that predicted. This finding suggests that there may be an alternative mechanism to both the resting state hypothesis and the forward model. However, as expected, both schizotypy and hallucination experience predicted a difference in forward processing (represented by P2 amplitude) between the conditions. This finding supports the resting state hypothesis. These results provide initial support for the rest-stimulus interaction and present some challenge to the forward model. Future research needs to replicate these findings in a clinical population and include measurement of resting brain activity.

The impact of social anxiety on emotional processing : an ERP study
Creators: name: Stewart, LF
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The way individuals with social anxiety process emotional expressions, particularly social threatening expressions, has been identified as important in the development and maintenance of social anxiety. Two modeis have been proposed to explain social anxiety; the cognitive model and the vigilance-avoidance model. The current study investigated these models by examining emotional processing using Event Related Potential (ERPs) correlates. High trait socially anxious females (HSA: n=l5) and low trait socially anxious females (LSA: n=15) were exposed to a range of emotional expressions (angry, disgusted, happy and neutral) in a passive viewing task whilst their ERP responses were recorded. Results indicated that HSA revealed greater automatic attention, or hypervigilance, to all facial expressions, as indexed by greater NI amplitude compared to the LSA group. HSA had greater attentional and structural encoding of happy faces, as indexed by N2 amplitude, compared to LSA. They also had greater elaborative processing of all facial expressions, indexed by LPP amplitude. These results support Clark and Wells' (1995) cognitive model that proposes HSA engage in further cognitive processing of social stimuli and does not confirm predictions of the vigilance-avoidance model.

description: En el marco del proyecto DEMOCRAT, se ha acordado emplear el término agency como un concepto fundamental en la investigación sobre la educación para la democracia. Ahora bien, en la redacción de textos en español o alemán, existe la problemática de encontrar un término que se adeque a la conceptualización en inglés. En la literatura académica se puede observar que existe una tendencia a usar directamente el término en inglés (en los textos o artículos en alemán) o una traducción literal -como “agencia"- en castellano. Este artículo se propone buscar términos más adecuados según el campo académico, dado que el concepto de agency se interpreta diferente en distintos campos de la investigación social y según determinados enfoques teóricos, lo que conduce usualmente a una ambigüedad o a confusiones conceptuales. En esta dirección, el uso del término en inglés directamente o su adaptación literal al propio idioma solo consigue trasladar la ambigüedad de un idioma a otro. Por esta razón, en este ensayo se efectúa un análisis de la interpretación del término agency en las diferentes ramas de las ciencias sociales (como la sociología relacional, la sociología de la tecnología, los estudios del curso de la vida o la psicología social) con el objetivo de proponer traducciones diferenciadas según el ámbito.

description: Kadison and Kastler introduced a metric on the set of all C$^*$-algebras on a fixed Hilbert space. In this paper structural properties of C$^*$-algebras which are close in this metric are examined. Our main result is that the property of having a positive answer to Kadison's similarity problem transfers to close C$^*$-algebras. In establishing this result we answer questions about closeness of commutants and tensor products when one algebra satisfies the similarity property. We also examine $K$-theory and traces of close C$^*$-algebras, showing that sufficiently close algebras have isomorphic Elliott invariants when one algebra has the similarity property.

description: In this paper, we investigate the impact in future megaton-scale water Cherenkov detectors of identifying proton Cherenkov rings. We estimate the expected event rates for detected neutral current and charged current quasi-elastic neutrino interactions from atmospheric neutrinos in a megaton-scale Super-Kamiokande-like detector with both 40% and 20% photo-cathode coverage. With this sample we examine the prospects for measuring the neutrino oscillation pattern, and searching for sterile neutrinos. We also determine the size of selected charged current quasi-elastic samples in a 300-kton fiducial volume Super-Kamiokande-like detector from examples of both conventional super-beams and beta-beams proposed in the literature. With these samples, it is shown that full kinematic neutrino reconstruction using the outgoing proton can improve the reconstructed energy resolution, and give good neutrino versus anti-neutrino tagging capabilities, adding important capabilities to water Cherenkov detectors in future projects. We determine the beam parameters necessary to make use of this technique and present distributions of neutrino and anti-neutrino selection efficiencies.

title: The individual in EU data protection law
Creators: name: Nolan, Katherine Anne
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2023

description: The individual and the idea of the individual are at the centre of EU data protection law, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the fundamental right to data protection under Article 8 of the Charter of the Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Critiques of that role have emerged, and exist in parallel to broader concerns about individualist tendencies of information privacy law. These concerns go to the heart of the law’s capacity to protect individuals and groups, and to ensure a just digital society, and the understanding of what data protection law sets out to achieve. I argue that an understanding of the role and conception of the individual is central to understanding EU data protection law, both its promise and limitations. The individual’s role in the GDPR emerges as a multi-faceted one, at times contradictory. Understanding this role can enable us to more precisely assess the GDPR and imagine alternative regulatory approaches to data protection. Placing the role of the individual in EU data protection law in historical and institutional context helps us to see that the notion of the individual, their status and capacities, have shaped the regime, and that many of the assumptions underpinning this notion of personhood in the regime also merit question. The conception of the individual in EU data protection law is analysed according to three parameters of personhood: relational versus individuated, empowered versus protected and different versus uniform. The picture of personhood which emerges is fragmentary, and reveals ideas and assumptions which have informed the regime, which can indicate limited understandings of personhood and gaps in the reach of EU data protection law. By re-engaging with these assumptions and the multi-faceted role of the individual, new understandings of the GDPR, associated case law and the right to data protection are possible.

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: The purpose of this research project is to demonstrate that the traditional analysis of Rabelais's Pantagruel has been superficial and has failed to answer or resolve the controversy over the real message of the text. Many critics have speculated that the text is anti-Christian but have failed to conclusively prove this claim. As a result, there is an opposing group of critics who have countered this position ultimately challenging that it can not be proven that the text is really anti-Christian. Using the rhetorical mnemonic approach developed by Daniel Martin, I am able to show that the text is based on an architecture that is blatantly mythological and therefore in contradiction to the Christian tradition, hiding a secret and dangerous humanist statement.
The influence of textese on adolescents' perceptions of message writers
Creators: name: Graham, JA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Text messages are characterised by an abbreviated, casual language style, known as textese (e.g., c u on thurs :) ). This study investigated the perceptions adolescents formed in response to the use of different levels of textese in digital messages, which varied in their communication modality (text, email) and their intended recipient (friend, teacher). Grade 8 participants (N = 92) read 12 fictitious messages, and rated how much they agreed (on a 7-point Likert scale) that the message writers had an appropriate writing style, were intelligent, friendly, and paid attention to detail. Participants rated the message writers less favourably when messages included high levels of textese to teachers compared to friends. Further, participants rated the message writers more favourably when they used no textese in email compared to text messages. However, they rated message writers similarly when they used medium and high levels of textese in text and email messages, which was unexpected. The limitations of this study include the experimental text messages lacking ecological validity due to their length, and potential demand characteristics. This research highlights that adolescents are sensitive to the recipients of digital messages, but may not be as sensitive to different communication modalities, when considering language choices.

description: Background. Previous studies of the dimensional structure of panic attack symptoms have mostly identified a respiratory and a vestibular/mixed somatic dimension. Evidence for additional dimensions such as a cardiac dimension and the allocation of several of the panic attack symptom criteria is less consistent. Clarifying the dimensional structure of the panic attack symptoms should help to specify the relationship of potential risk factors like anxiety sensitivity and fear of suffocation to the experience of panic attacks and the development of panic disorder. Method. In an outpatient multicentre study 350 panic patients with agoraphobia rated the intensity of each of the ten DSM-IV bodily symptoms during a typical panic attack. The factor structure of these data was investigated with nonlinear confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The identified bodily symptom dimensions were related to panic cognitions, anxiety sensitivity and fear of suffocation by means of nonlinear structural equation modelling (SEM). Results. CFA indicated a respiratory, a vestibular/mixed somatic and a cardiac dimension of the bodily symptom criteria. These three factors were differentially associated with specific panic cognitions, different anxiety sensitivity facets and suffocation fear. Conclusions. Taking into account the dimensional structure of panic attack symptoms may help to increase the specificity of the associations between the experience of panic attack symptoms and various panic related constructs.

description: The decline of cognitive abilities with age is subject to much variability, and the factors that influence this are yet to be fully understood. This study aimed to explore the combined influence of physical activity (PA), and the BDNF gene on cognitive performance in older adults. Participants consisted of 140 female and 61 male (N = 201), healthy older adults, aged 53 ‚Äö- 81 years (M = 64.2, SD = 6.63). BDNF genotype was ascertained via genetic testing, and participants were categorized as either Val carriers or Met carriers. Participants were also grouped into high or low PA, as assessed with the self-report Incidental and Planned Exercise Questionnaire (IPEQ-WA). Cognitive performance was assessed via neuropsychological tests of executive functioning, short-term memory, long-term memory and learning. It was hypothesised that level of PA and BDNF genotype would have main effects on cognitive performance and that there would be an interaction between level of PA and BDNF genotype on cognitive outcome measures. However, contrary to our hypotheses, no significant main effects or interaction effects were observed between level of PA and the BDNF gene on any of the cognitive performance measures. These results suggest that, in a group of healthy older adults, level of PA and BDNF genotype are unrelated to cognitive performance.
Delphi study to obtain expert consensus on the management of very old patients in intensive care

description: Patients aged 80 years and older represent the fastest growing cohort in intensive care units (ICUs) in many countries. By contrast to younger patients, these very old individuals are characterised by a high prevalence of chronic multi-morbidity and functional impairments which are summarised as geriatric conditions. They are associated with an increased vulnerability to acute stress (frailty), which influences ICU survival, recovery of functional abilities and quality of life after discharge. However, the presence and phenotype of geriatric conditions are variable among very old patients and the optimal model for managing these patients in the ICU is still unknown. This results in a substantial variability of intensive care for this cohort with wide-ranging ethical implications.

There is no strong evidence for the optimal management of patients 80 years or older in the ICU. In this situation, a consensus among experts, obtained in a Delphi process, constitutes the best option to summarise the current knowledge and experience to develop recommendations for clinical practice.

Program and job-stream characteristics in the michigan terminal system
Creators: name: Bowler, Kenneth Haydn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: There has been little published about the characteristics of computer jobs running on modern time-sharing computer systems, due largely to the lack of appropriate programs and equipment necessary to measure the parameters involved. In this thesis, measures are presented for some of the important characteristics of jobs. The Data Collection Facility, which is part of the Michigan Terminal System, was used to this end. The Michigan Terminal System is a time-sharing operating system for the IBM 360/67 computer, and supports batch and terminal users simultaneously. Chapter 1 gives an outline of the problem, and other work which has been done in this line. It also contains a reasonably detailed description of the Michigan Terminal System. In Chapter 2, measurements of requested CPU service, CPU service obtained, system and user response times, I/O delays, and page waiting times are given. Chapter 3 outlines the storage requirements of jobs, and gives a model which will generate profiles of storage required by jobs over their running times, which are very similar to profiles observed for actual jobs. Some discussion of the results is given in chapter 4, and also a simple model of the system is shown which might be used in a simulation study employing measurements taken in this study.
A supervisor to monitor multiple simulators
Creators: name: McRae, Robert Norman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The problem treated in this thesis is to create a system to monitor multiple interacting simulators. The problem is encountered in an attempt to simulate urban growth. The resulting system has a supervisor which controls all of the components of the system, namely the I/O routines, the graphics routine, the command routines, and the simulators. The main task of the supervisor is to display whichever data values the user desires. This involves executing some simulators, and extracting the data values from the data base. The extraction process first finds an association path between the files in the data base in order to relate the variables being displayed. Then using the association path the physical values are extracted from the data base. The data values are then passed to the graphics routine to be displayed for the user.

description: We present first systematic studies of the photoinduced phase transition from the ground charge density wave (CDW) state to the normal metallic (M) state in the prototype quasi-1D CDW system K0.3MoO3. Ultrafast non-thermal CDW melting is achieved at the absorbed energy density that corresponds to the electronic energy difference between the metallic and CDW states. The results imply that on the sub-picosecond timescale when melting and subsequent initial recovery of the electronic order takes place the lattice remains unperturbed.

description: In this letter, we investigate the nature of the dramatic `super-bubble' emission structures associated with the z=2.44 radio galaxy MRC 0406-244, using rest-frame optical spectroscopy and an archival HST NICMOS image. Based on the optical line ratios and the HST morphology, we conclude that the gas in the superbubbles is photoionized by the obscured active nucleus. We suggest that this type of structure might be related to the spatially extended HI absorbers that are detected in front of many high-z radio galaxies. We also suggest that we may be witnessing the destruction of the extended emission line region. In addition, we investigate the nature of the emission line brightness asymmetry in MRC 0406-244: we conclude that this asymmetry is due to an asymmetry in the mass of ionized gas, confirming the scenario of McCarthy, van Breugel & Kapahi, and leading us to reject that of Gopal-Krishna & Wiita.

description: We discuss the potential to observe effects of CP violation in squark decay chains at the LHC. As the CP-violating observable we use the asymmetry composed by triple products of final state momenta. Extending methods for momentum reconstruction we show that there are good prospects for observation of these effects at the LHC. Finally, we include the main experimental factors and discuss the expected sensitivity.

Robot simulation studies

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The history of the robot as a concept and as a fact is indicated, and the current linguistic approach to robotology discussed. The problem of designing a robot-controller is approached by taking a simplified, computer-simulated, model of a robot in an environment, and writing programs to enable the robot to move around its environment in a reasonably intelligent manner. The problems of concept representation and the creation and execution of plans are dealt with in this simple system, and the problem of exploration is encountered but not satisfactorily dealt with. The robots' environment consists of a rectangular grid in which squares are labelled as belonging to the boundary, to fixed or movable objects, or to holes, while the robot itself occupies a single square, can sense the labels of the eight surrounding squares, can turn, and can pickup, move, and drop movable objects. The boundary of a typical environment is thus a rectanguloid polygon, which can be compared to the floor-plan of a one-level house. After an initial exploration the basic representation of the environment is as a sequence of edge-lengths and turns, called the ring-representation. An algorithm is described which produces the set of maximal subrectangles of the environment (i.e. rooms, passages, doorways) from the ring representation. To make plans for moving within the environment, the robot first views the maximal subrectangles as the vertices of a graph, wherein two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the corresponding maximal subrectangles overlap, and then uses a path-finding algorithm to find a path between two vertices of the graph. This path constitutes a "plan of action". Whenever an isolated object or hole is found, its ring-representation is generated and its set of maximal subrectangles produced. Thus the shapes of objects and holes within the environment can be compared in various ways. In particular, an algorithm is described which compares the shape of a movable object with that of a hole to ascertain if the movable object could be moved to fit inside the hole without "physically" moving the object. ROSS, an interactive computer program which simulates the robot-environment model, is described. A command language allows the user to specify tasks for the robot at various conceptual levels. Several problems are listed concerning the ways in which a robot might explore, represent, and make plans about, its environment, most of which are amenable to direct attack in this simplified model. Finally, theoretical questions concerning two-dimensional rectanguloid shapes are raised.
