 Ecology. Ilybius biguttulus adults and larvae were collected in small pools and along the edges of larger ponds. In all cases they occurred among the aquatic vegetation and in sites where water levels were variable. Collected female adults laid eggs that hatched in late September. Collected instar I larvae were found in late August and early September. These records support the life history proposed by Hicks and Larson (1995) for this species.

description: The prevalence and pathological effects of the trematodes in liver and gallbladder of the indigenous ducks in Bangladesh were investigated during the period from July 2003 to June 2004. Out of 300 ducks examined, 208 (69.33%) ducks were infected with one or more species of avian liver flukes. The liver fluke species, recovered from the liver and gallbladder were: Metorchis orientalis (55.33%), Amphimerus anatis (54.33%), Amphimerus lancea (12.00%) and Amphimerus caudalitestis (1.00%). The highest prevalence was recorded in monsoon (91.30%) followed by winter (76.51%) and summer (49.52%). Similarly, the parasitic load was relatively higher in monsoon (23.10±3.10) followed by winter (18.76±2.98) and summer (08.99±2.95). The prevalence of the trematodes was significantly (P<0.01) higher in adult ducks (82.61%) than in the young ducks (25.71%). The mean parasitic density was also higher in adult ducks (25.24±3.99) of > 6 months age than in the young ducks (06.91±1.39) of <6 months age. Almost similar rate of infection was recorded in male (70.71%) and female (68.13%) ducks with an average parasitic burden of 26.41±3.54 and 24.92±2.96 respectively. In most cases, the parasitized liver was slightly atrophied characterized by the smaller size with shrinkage or wrinkling of the liver capsule. The edges or borders of the livers were sharp along with tiny white necrotic foci in some cases. On cut surface, the parasites were found in the bile ducts but no calcification was detected. Grossly, gallbladder was apparently normal containing adult parasites in it. Histopathologically, cross-section of parasites with their eggs and cellular debris were found within the bile ducts. Desquamation of the bile duct epithelium was observed but in some cases, the bile duct epithelium was hyperplastic in nature. Microabscesses with infiltration of lymphocytes, macrophages and polymorphonuclear cells predominantly neutrophils were revealed in the hepatic lobules. Proliferation of the fibroblasts occurred around the bile ducts. But in advanced cases, extensive fibrosis observed which extended from the portal triads to the adjacent hepatic lobules resulting disorganization of the normal hepatic architecture leading to cirrhosis. In severe cases, the normal structures of the bile ducts were almost obliterated by the extensive proliferation of the fibroblasts converting it into a fibrous tube. This study suggests that the avian liver flukes of the indigenous ducks of all ages and sexes may be a major problem.

description: This paper has three parts. In first step we use modified scalar tensor vector Brans Dicke gravity \cite{GH0} to obtain metric solution of a spherically symmetric static black hole via perturbation method which asymptotically behaves as modified Schwarzschild de Sitter black hole in weak field limits. Corrections on the line element with respect to the point mass Schwarzschild de Sitter black hole are two parts: power law function for black hole mass instead of point mass and additional logarithmic metric potential which they are produced from effects of interacting timelike dynamical vector fields. Second part of the paper is dedicated to review Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theory for massless scalar field instead of the vector electromagnetic waves. In third part of the work we consider the obtained black hole metric to be lens and we study weak gravitational lensing of moving light originated from point star. Production of stationary images is investigated via both interference of waves and geometric optics approaches. At last we compare results of these approaches and give some outlooks.

description: Kuwait is a unique example of a quasi-democratic system where the legislative branch exerts significant influence over the executive such that ministers are frequently replaced directly or indirectly via the interpellation process. Many observers claim that confrontation via interpellation has created a "crisis," the result of arbitrary allegations and competition between parliamentary blocs. Such arguments advocate or support an end to the democratic experiment in order to ensure the state's economic viability and social cohesion. Historical and quantitative analyses of interpellations, the actors, and the issues addressed since Kuwaiti independence in 1963 reveals four key elements which explain the post-invasion upsurge in the use of interpellation. Recommendations address the weaknesses of the current process and suggest how lawmakers could craft a more effective interpellation strategy to strengthen Kuwaiti democracy.

description: A total of 30 indigenous cattle were studied to observe the haematology of anorectic, anemic and both as well as haematinic treated cattle. 10 cattle were apparently healthy selected from BAU dairy farm. 20 animals were selected from BAU veterinary clinics of which 10 were anorexic and 10 were both anorexic and anemic. They were grouped as A, B, C. Cattle of group C were treated with haematinic mixture. The cattle suffering from anorexia (group B) revealed a significant (P<0.01) decrease in Hb, PCV, MCV and MCH as compared to control (Table 1). Whereas, the cattle of group C exhibited a significant decrease in TEC, Hb, PCV, MCHC and MCH and a significant (P<0.01) increase in TLC. The changes in the TEC, Hb, PCV, TLC and MCHC were remarkably decreased in the cattle suffering from anorexia with anemia than the cattle with anorexia only. For anorectic cattle MCV was observed more severe than that of anemic cattle. After treating the anorectic with anemic cattle with haematinic mixture, the mean value of the PCV, Hb, mcy and MCH increased significantly (P<0.01). TEC and MCHC were also increased but TEC significantly (P<0.05) and MCHC insignificantly (P>0.05). The parameter TLC decreased significantly (P<0.01). It may be concluded that haematinic treatment improved the haematological parameters of the cattle with anorexia and anemia.

description: This paper presents a new approach for dimension reduction of data observed in a sphere. Several dimension reduction techniques have recently developed for the analysis of non-Euclidean data. As a pioneer work, Hauberg (2016) attempted to implement principal curves on Riemannian manifolds. However, this approach uses approximations to deal with data on Riemannian manifolds, which causes distorted results. In this study, we propose a new approach to construct principal curves on a sphere by a projection of the data onto a continuous curve. Our approach lies in the same line of Hastie and Stuetzle (1989) that proposed principal curves for Euclidean space data. We further investigate the stationarity of the proposed principal curves that satisfy the self-consistency on a sphere. Results from real data analysis with earthquake data and simulation examples demonstrate the promising empirical properties of the proposed approach.

description: A time-varying cosmological "constant" Lambda is consistent with Einstein's equation, provided matter and/or radiation is created or destroyed to compensate for it. Supposing an empty primordial universe endowed with a very large cosmological term, matter will emerge gradually as Lambda decays. Provided only radiation or ultrarelativistic matter is initially created, the universe starts in a nearly de Sitter phase, which evolves towards a FRW regime as expansion proceeds. If, at some cosmological time, the cosmological term begins increasing again, as presently observed, expansion will accelerate and matter and/or radiation will be transformed back into dark energy. It is shown that such accelerated expansion is a route towards a new kind of gravitational singular state, characterized by an empty, conformally transitive spacetime in which all energy is dark.

description: To improve the native chicken, a total of 75 males and 750 females was reared from the 3 types of chicken namely, Naked neck (NN), Hilly and Non descript deshi (ND) which have been collected from different parts of the country. The number of each Naked neck (NN), Hilly and Non descript deshi (ND) type of chicken in the foundation stock genotypes were 275 (250 females and 25 males). Multiplication of the established birds has already been started and the present stock will be increased as required for future selective breeding work. These foundation stocks were raised under confinement with standard management practices and vaccination. They were supplied the nutrient as per recommendation. All productive, reproductive and egg quality parameters at 38 weeks of age were studied. The results indicate that the percentage of hatchability on fertile eggs and set eggs and also dead in shell (embryonic mortality) were significantly different (P<0.01) among genotypes. No significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in age at sexual maturity, fertility, dead in germ, normal chicks and abnormal chicks among the 3 native genotypes. Significantly difference (P<0.01) was found in body weight among the 3 native genotypes at 38 weeks of age. Egg weight was similar in NN (42.94) and ND (42.08) and lowest in Hilly (40.25). No significant difference (P>0.05) was found in morning egg production rate, egg production, feed intake and survivability. But significantly (P<0.01) highest afternoon egg production was found in NN (32.68%) and lowest and similar in Hilly (27.23%) and ND (28.31%). The egg quality traits; egg weight, yolk index and shell thickness were significantly different (P<0.05), but the other egg quality traits were not significantly different (P>0.05) among 3 genotypes. The native germplasm is very much potential in context of disease resistant and genetic variability under the existing harsh environment. So we can use these for future breeding program to improvement and upgrading the native genotypes and exotic one.

description: The dynamic trees problem is to maintain a forest subject to edge insertions and deletions while facilitating queries such as connectivity, path weights, and subtree weights. Dynamic trees are a fundamental building block of a large number of graph algorithms. Although traditionally studied in the single-update setting, dynamic algorithms capable of supporting batches of updates are increasingly relevant today due to the emergence of rapidly evolving dynamic datasets. Since processing updates on a single processor is often unrealistic for large batches of updates, designing parallel batch-dynamic algorithms that achieve provably low span is important for many applications. In this work, we design the first work-efficient parallel batch-dynamic algorithm for dynamic trees that is capable of supporting both path queries and subtree queries, as well as a variety of non-local queries. To achieve this, we propose a framework for algorithmically dynamizing static round-synchronous algorithms that allows us to obtain parallel batch-dynamic algorithms with good bounds on their work and span. In our framework, the algorithm designer can apply the technique to any suitably defined static algorithm. We then obtain theoretical guarantees for algorithms in our framework by defining the notion of a computation distance between two executions of the underlying algorithm. Our dynamic trees algorithm is obtained by applying our dynamization framework to the parallel tree contraction algorithm of Miller and Reif, and then performing a novel analysis of the computation distance of this algorithm under batch updates. We show that $k$ updates can be performed in $O(k \log(1+n/k))$ work in expectation, which matches an existing algorithm of Tseng et al. while providing support for a substantially larger number of queries and applications.

title: Management of perceptions of fitness for purpose in the education of mental health nurses
Creators: name: Mitchell, Francis Edward
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: This is a study into the present arrangements for the management of the education and training provision for mental health nurses prior to registration known as Project 2000. The primary aim of the research was to determine how the perceptions of the stakeholders could be managed in relation to delivery of appropriate educational preparation. This work utilised a case study research methodology. Thirty subjects were interviewed from a variety of stakeholders in mental health nurse education. The study used an innovative interview method involving techniques borrowed from the therapeutic interventions of Neuro Linguistic Programming, in particular, rapport skills and some specific focused questioning techniques. The data were analysed utilising a phenomenological approach to examine the lived experience of the subjects. The findings of the study showed that there exists a specific set of knowledge, skills and attributes which are regarded and agreed by all of the stakeholder groups as being vital to mental health nurses. The findings related to knowledge, skills and attributes matched fairly closely with the published literature on the topic, but were of a much more specific and very basic nature. It was also found that although all of the stakeholder groups were in broad agreement about the simple and basic nature of the knowledge, skills and attributes required, each of those groups was of the opinion that their views were not shared by other stakeholder groups. The study concludes by examining potentially useful ways of managing the perceptions of the stakeholders. The establishment of the role of mental health liaison officer is discussed which, it is argued, might enhance the ability of educational institutions to manage the delivery of educational programmes based upon a detailed knowledge of the perception of the stakeholders. It is further concluded that the interview skills described in the study would be potentially of value to other researchers using interviews as an investigative tool.

Assessment of individual differences in the rewarding and adverse effects of morphine
Creators: name: Verendeev, Andrey
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A number of explanations have been presented for the ability of drugs of abuse to suppress consumption of saccharin solution. The one receiving the most attention is the reward comparison hypothesis, according to which, animals avoid the consumption of saccharin in anticipation of the more rewarding drug. Thus, the taste avoidance is a function of the rewarding effects of drugs. Accordingly, one would predict that there would be a direct relationship between the rewarding and suppressive effects of drugs of abuse. The present study directly assessed this relationship by examining the ability of morphine to induce both place preference and taste avoidance in the same animal. Although both preferences and aversions were acquired in individual subjects, there was no relationship between the two. As such, the results suggest that drugs of abuse have multiple stimulus effects, e.g., rewarding and aversive, that condition place preferences and taste aversions separately.

description: Direct detection experiments obtain 90% upper limits on the elastic scattering cross sections of dark matter with nucleons assuming point-like interactions and standard astrophysical and cosmological parameters. In this paper we provide a recasting of the limits from XENON1T, PICO-60, CRESST-III and DarkSide-50 and include them in micrOMEGAs. The code can then be used to directly impose constraints from these experiments on generic dark matter models under different assumptions about the DM velocity distribution or on the nucleus form factors. Moreover new limits on the elastic scattering cross sections can be obtained in the presence of a light t-channel mediator or of millicharged particles.

description: The recent observation of coherent backscattering (CBS) of light by atoms has emphasized the key role of the velocity spread and of the quantum internal structure of the atoms. Firstly, using highly resonant scatterers imposes very low temperatures of the disordered medium in order to keep the full contrast of the CBS interference. This criterion is usually achieved with standard laser cooling techniques. Secondly, a non trivial internal atomic structure leads to a dramatic decrease of the CBS contrast. Experiments with Rubidium atoms (with a non trivial internal structure) and with Strontium (with the simplest possible internal structure) show this behaviour and confirm theoretical calculations.

description: The fecundity was measured by Gravimetric method. Fecundity of P. sarana was found to range from 34443.83±1723.12 to 65485.14±3286.53 from 100 samples having a total length of 172.67±2.07 to 222.71±1.38 mm, body weight from 166.33±2.73 to 221.0±1.15g and gonad weight from 18.67±1.21 to 56.71±0.49 g. The relationship between body length and fecundity was found to be polynomial of second order of body weight and was expressed as: Y = 22137 - 303.8 X + 2.2431 X2. The regression equation established for fecundity on total body weight was Y = - 62461 +470.81 X. The above equation shows that the relationship between fecundity and total weight was curvilinear. Both the regression coefficient were highly significant (P <0.01) and the equation expressed more than 87% of variation in fecundity. A highly significant (P <0.01) linear relationship was found to exist between fecundity and gonadal weight.

description: This paper purpose is exploring a possible answer to the question "How is configured the link between technical and vocational education and training and productive demands according to territorial location?" The theoretical approach is built on the recognition of: multiple social and educational demands; education and vocational training diversification and differentiation; the territory considered from economic and educational regionalization processes held in regions, provinces and local spaces of the country; education planning strategies and education and vocational training mechanisms and regulation bodies. The study also carried out a series of selected cases throughout the country considering different regions, provinces and localities. The cases analysis made it possible to account for the diversity of actors and instances that directly and indirectly intervene in the relationship between sectors and demands from the world of production and technical and vocational education institutions in different provinces. The relationships and links collected, respond to different objectives and present different scopes in terms of the demands they respond to, the sectors and productive branches and territorial areas in which they are developed. These works allow us to review links between education and vocational training in Latin American countries or in those nations with lower development levels. The purpose could be to make a contrast with the reality of European countries and the existing responses in different countries. This comparative perspective can be complemented with a review of responses and attention types derived from the economic and productive heterogeneity, size and types of companies. For example, the scope of these experiences in small and medium-sized companies, cooperatives and other types of organizations; as well as to verify the functioning among excluded population from production and employment in Europe.

description: Almost strong edge-mode operators arising at the boundaries of certain interacting 1D symmetry protected topological phases with \(Z_2\) symmetry have infinite temperature lifetimes that are non-perturbatively long in the integrability breaking terms, making them promising as bits for quantum information processing. We extract the lifetime of these edge-mode operators for small system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit. For the latter, a Lanczos scheme is employed to map the operator dynamics to a one dimensional tight-binding model of a single particle in Krylov space. We find this model to be that of a spatially inhomogeneous Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with a hopping amplitude that increases away from the boundary, and a dimerization that decreases away from the boundary. We associate this dimerized or staggered structure with the existence of the almost strong mode. Thus the short time dynamics of the almost strong mode is that of the edge-mode of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, while the long time dynamics involves decay due to tunneling out of that mode, followed by chaotic operator spreading. We also show that competing scattering processes can lead to interference effects that can significantly enhance the lifetime.
The pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies: luminosity dependence and a new test of galaxy formation models

description: We present the first determination of the pairwise velocity dispersion (PVD) for galaxies in different luminosity intervals using the final release of the Two-Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). We have discovered quite surprisingly that the relative velocities of the faint galaxies at small separation are very high, around $700 \kms$, reaching similar values as the brightest galaxies. At intermediate luminosities $M^*-1$ ($M^*$ is the characteristic luminosity of the Schechter function), the relative velocities exhibit a well defined steep minimum near $400 \kms$. This result has been derived using a novel method to determine the real space power spectrum and the PVD from the redshift space power spectrum of the 2dFGRS. Both quantities can be determined quite reliably. We have taken the parameter $β$ equal to 0.45. But we have also checked that the results are changed very little, if we allow a variation of $β$ with luminosity. The result is a challenge to the current halo model of galaxies of Yang et al. that was obtained by matching the clustering and luminosity function of the 2dFGRS, but cannot reproduce the luminosity dependence of the PVD. It may also be an mportant constraint in general on theories of galaxy formation, such as semi-analytical models and hydro/N-body simulations of galaxy formation. Combined with the observed luminosity dependence of clustering, our result implies that a substantial fraction of faint galaxies, as well as the brightest ones, are in massive halos of galaxy cluster size, but most of the $M^*$ galaxies are in galactic halos.

Assessment of individual differences in the rewarding and adverse effects of morphine

description: A number of explanations have been presented for the ability of drugs of abuse to suppress consumption of saccharin solution. The one receiving the most attention is the reward comparison hypothesis, according to which, animals avoid the consumption of saccharin in anticipation of the more rewarding drug. Thus, the taste avoidance is a function of the rewarding effects of drugs. Accordingly, one would predict that there would be a direct relationship between the rewarding and suppressive effects of drugs of abuse. The present study directly assessed this relationship by examining the ability of morphine to induce both place preference and taste avoidance in the same animal. Although both preferences and aversions were acquired in individual subjects, there was no relationship between the two. As such, the results suggest that drugs of abuse have multiple stimulus effects, e.g., rewarding and aversive, that condition place preferences and taste aversions separately.

description: Investigation on infestations of monogenetic trematodes of juvenile carp fishes of different nurseries of Mymensingh region was conducted during November 2002 to February 2004. Five government farms and five private farrri, were investigated for this purpose. Juveniles of commonly cultured species of Indian major carps- 'Labe° rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala, Catla catla and Labeo gonia; exotic carps- Hypophihalmichthys molitrix, Cyprinus carpio, Ctenopharyngodon idella, Aristicthys nobilis and Barbodes gonionotus were examined for parasitic infestation. The infestations were found in both Indian and exotic juvenile carps in government as well as private farms. Prevalence (/o), intensity and abundance were found to be species specific and also varied with seasons and management systems (government or private) practised in different farms. The highest prevalence and mean intensity were found in C. mrigala and the lowest in H. molitrix. The prevalence in Indian juvenile carps was significantly (p <0.01) different from that of exotic juvenile carps in both government and private farms. Significantly (p<0.05) highest prevalence was found in summer and lowest in winter season. Comparatively higher infestation was observed in private farms (highest in Boira) and the lower infestation in government farms (lowest in Mashkanda). Suggestion has been made on„minimizationiof monogenean infestations to juvenile carp nurseries.
Comment on "Mechanical analog of temperature for the description of force distribution in static granular packings"

description: It has been proposed by Ngan [Phys. Rev. E 68, 011301 (2003)] that the granular contact force distribution may be analytically derived by minimizing the analog of a thermodynamic free energy, in this case consisting of the total potential energy stored in the compressed contacts minus a particular form of entropy weighted by a parameter. The parameter is identified as a mechanical temperature. I argue that the particular form of entropy cannot be correct and as a result the proposed method produces increasingly errant results for increasing grain rigidity. This trend is evidenced in Ngan's published results and in other numerical simulations and experiments.

description: We assess the role of aid for trade (AFT) and foreign direct investment (FDI) in poverty reduction. We analyze their impacts across different country-level income groups and between agriculture-dependent economies and those that are not. Based on data for 91 developing countries, and employing fixed effects and random effects models, our empirical analyses indicate that AFT flows have a robust and positive effect on poverty reduction but the effect differs across countries by income groups and the impact is largest in LDCs. The analyses also show that while AFT may be effective, the extent to which it reduces poverty depends on the policies and quality of institutions in the recipient country. AFT is most effective in reducing poverty: (1) when directed to infrastructure and to trade policies and regulations; and (2) for economies with relatively small dependencies on agriculture. Also, AFT directed to infrastructure and trade policies and regulations increase, while AFT to productive capacity reduces net FDI inflows.

description: The previous theoretical study has shown that pulse irradiation to the Mott insulating state in the Hubbard model can induce the enhancement of superconducting correlation due to the generation of $η$ pairs. Here, we show that the same mechanism can be applied to the Kondo lattice model, an effective model for heavy electron systems, by demonstrating that the pulse irradiation indeed enhances the $η$-pairing correlation. As in the case of the Hubbard model, the non-linear optical process is essential to increase the number of photoinduced $η$ pairs and thus the enhancement of the superconducting correlation. We also find the diffusive behavior of the spin dynamics after the pulse irradiation, suggesting that the increase of the number of $η$ pairs leads to the decoupling between the conduction band and the localized spins in the Kondo lattice model, which is inseparably related to the photodoping effect.

description: In this work we model the expected molecular emission from protoplanetary disks, modifying different physical parameters, such as dust grain size, mass accretion rate, viscosity, and disk radius, to obtain observational signatures in these sources. Having in mind possible future observations, we study correlations between physical parameters and observational characteristics. Our aim is to determine the kind of observations that will allow us to extract information about the physical parameters of disks. We also present prospects for molecular line observations of protoplanetary disks, using millimeter and submillimeter interferometers (e.g., SMA or ALMA), based on our results.

description: This paper aims to determine, how providing the right of collateral to LUR might change farmers investment behavior and incentivize entrepreneurial activity. To achieve this objective, we try to solve two issues. The first issue of economic importance is in understanding the market value of LUR transactions; creating now a tradable asset from one which held value but no market. To examine this we build an argument around the idea of economic and marginal rents from Ricardo. The second issue relates to the extent by which deepening the rural financial landscape by allowing the mortgaging of LUR will promote and advance much needed entrepreneurial activity. To explore this issue we draw on Schumpeter. Then, based on a survey of 1,465 farm households in rural China and an endogenous 2SLS model. We find that a positive and significant relationship between a willingness to mortgage LUR and entrepreneurship, which suggest that the new policy may well meet that objective. However, we do not find that that entrepreneurs alone will have a willingness to mortgage LUR; non-entrepreneurs traditional farmer types- would also be willing to mortgage LUR, but with a caveat that either group already has a disposition or demand for credit.

description: Filth explores the primordial intersection of shame, family, sexuality, adolescence, nature, and empathy through the following: the body, the imagination, and the landscapes that proffer such navigation. The problem Filth seeks to communicate through images, tone, and diction is a humanistic and sometimes presumptuous "imagining" of others' circumstances. No human observations other than the author's own experiences have informed this thesis; methodology in portraying aforementioned human instinct involves mere speculation and emotion. The result of the author's imagination and imaging is these pages of poetry and fiction, which have led the author to the conclusion that feeling, above all---for others both loved and imagined---is essential to true happiness in life.

description: The present work examines whether evolving wormhole solution is possible or not in $f(R,T)$ modified gravity theory. In the background of inhomogeneous FLRW type wormhole configuration the field equations are investigated for different choices of scale factors and shape functions. For the power law and exponential choice of the scale factor from cosmological context and decoupled power law of $f(R,T)$ in each variable, wormhole configuration has been examined for two viable choices of shape function. Energy conditions are examined graphically for a range of values of the parameters involved. Finally, the possibility of emergent scenario at early cosmic evolution has been examined.
