description: In this work, we study the universal total and symmetry-resolved entanglement spectra for a single interval of some $2$d Fermionic CFTs using the Boundary Conformal Field theory (BCFT) approach. In this approach, the partition of Hilbert space is achieved by cutting out discs around the entangling boundary points and imposing boundary conditions preserving the extended symmetry under scrutiny. The reduced density moments are then related to the BCFT partition functions and are also found to be diagonal in the symmetry charge sectors. In particular, we first study the entanglement spectra of massless Dirac fermion and modular invariant $Z_2$-gauged Dirac fermion by considering the boundary conditions preserving either the axial or the vector $U(1)$ symmetry. The total entanglement spectra of the modular invariant Dirac fermion are shown to match with the compact boson result at the Bose-Fermi duality radius, while for the massless Dirac fermion, it is found that the boundary entropy term doesn't match with the self-dual compact boson. The symmetry-resolved entanglement is found to be the same in all cases, except for the charge spectrum which is dependent on both the symmetry and the theory. We also study the entanglement spectra of $N$ massless Dirac fermions by considering boundary conditions preserving different chiral $U(1)^N$ symmetries. Entanglement spectra are studied for $U(1)^M$ subgroups, where $M\leq N$, by imposing boundary conditions preserving different chiral symmetries. The total entanglement spectra are found to be sensitive to the representations of the $U(1)^M$ symmetry in the boundary theory among other behaviours at $O(1)$. Similar results are also found for the Symmetry resolved entanglement entropies. The characteristic $\log\log\left(\ell/ε\right)$ term of the $U(1)$ symmetry is found to be proportional to $M$ in the symmetry-resolved entanglement spectra.

description: In this paper we study Weihrauch reducibility for multi-valued functions on represented spaces. We call the corresponding equivalence classes Weihrauch degrees and we show that the corresponding partial order induces a lower semi-lattice with the disjoint union of multi-valued functions as greatest lower bound operation. We prove that parallelization is a closure operator for this semi-lattice and the parallelized Weihrauch degrees even form a lattice with the product of multi-valued functions as greatest lower bound operation. We show that the Medvedev lattice and hence Turing degrees can be embedded into the parallelized Weihrauch lattice in a natural way. We study the limited principle of omniscience LPO, the lesser limited principle of omniscience LLPO and their parallelizations. We prove that parallelized LLPO is equivalent to Weak K"onig's Lemma and hence to the Hahn-Banach Theorem in this new and very strong sense. We call a multi-valued function weakly computable if it is reducible to the Weihrauch degree of parallelized LLPO and we present a new proof that the class of weakly computable operations is closed under composition. This proof is based on a computational version of Kleene's ternary logic. Moreover, we characterize weakly computable operations on computable metric spaces as operations that admit upper semi-computable compact-valued selectors and we prove that any single-valued weakly computable operation is already computable in the ordinary sense.

title: Effects of Safflower (A Spring Crop), And Wheat Planting Date on Controlling Jointed Goatgrass (Aegilops Cylindrica) In Winter Wheat
Creators: name: Dalley, Caleb Dale
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: To improve management and control of jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host.) on traditional winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropland, a better understanding of the effects spring crop and wheat planting date have on weed populations and wheat yield is needed. A study of the effects of safflower (a spring crop) and wheat planting dates (early vs late) was conducted over a 2-yr period. Long term effects will be examined over a 5-yr period. The effects these treatments had on yield, weed seed contamination, jointed goatgrass population density, and soil seedbank concentration were measured. Two identical experiments were initiated, the first beginning in 1996, the second in 1997.
In experiment one, initial plant counts showed similar numbers of jointed goatgrass plants in all treatments. In experiment two, initial spring plant counts showed increased numbers of jointed goatgrass in unplanted plots prior to planting safflower, and slightly reduced population densities in October-planted wheat when compared to September-planted wheat. Winter wheat yields were 25% and 35% higher in September-planted wheat than in October-planted wheat, in 1997 in experiment one, and1998 in experiment two, respectively. Crop contamination with jointed goatgrass propagules was four times higher in early vs late-planted wheat in 1997, and 36% higher in 1998. Jointed goatgrass plants in safflower were reduced 97% compared to preplan! counts in both experiments. In experiment one, 1998 fallow season plant counts showed 55% and 75% less jointed goatgrass in fallow safflower plots than in fallow plots of September- and October-planted wheat, respectively, with fallow plots of September-planted wheat having 46% less than fallow plots of October-planted wheat. Soil seed bank concentrations were highest at the 0-5 cm depth of October-planted wheat, which had nearly a 10-fold higher concentrations compared to safflower and September-planted wheat at this depth. There were no differences at depths below 5cm.
This study showed the use of safflower to be a very useful management tool for reducing jointed goatgrass populations. September-planted wheat, with similar jointed goatgrass populations, yielded higher, and had less contamination and was therefore more competitive with jointed goatgrass than wheat planted in October, observed through a reduction in jointed goatgrass propagule production. Planting wheat in October, for the purpose of controlling jointed goatgrass through additional tillage, proved ineffective. Jointed goatgrass population densities were not reduced in experiment one, and only slightly reduced in experiment two. The dramatic loss of yield, associated with the later plantings, far outweighs any benefits gained by delaying wheat planting.

description: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a skin cancer treatment alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This method exploits three elements: a phototoxic compound (photosensitizer), light source and oxygen. Upon irradiation by light of a specific wavelength, the photosensitizer generates reactive oxygen species triggering the cascade of reactions leading to cell death. The positive therapeutic effect of PDT may be limited due to low solubility, low tumor specificity and inefficient cellular uptake of photosensitizers. A promising approach to overcome these obstacles involves the use of nanocarrier systems. The aim of this initial study was to determine the potential of the application of phosphorus dendrimers as carriers of a photosensitizer—rose bengal (RB). The primary goal involved the synthesis and in vitro studies of covalent drug–dendrimer conjugates. Our approach allowed us to obtain RB–dendrimer conjugates with the use of tyramine as an aromatic linker between the carrier and the drug. The compounds were characterized by FT-IR,1H NMR,13C NMR,31P NMR, size and zeta potential measurements and spectrofluorimetric analysis. The dialysis to check the drug release from the conjugate, flow cytometry to specify intracellular uptake, and singlet oxygen generation assay were also applied. Finally, we used MTT assay to determine the biological activity of the tested compounds. The results of our experiments indicate that the conjugation of RB to phosphorus dendrimers via the tyramine linker decreases photodynamic activity of RB. © 2020 by the authors.

description: Two tridentate Schiff base ligands, L1 and L2, have been introduced in the synthesis of mononuclear oxidovanadium complexes with a co-ligand 1,10-phenanthroline. Two mononuclear complexes, [VO(L1)(1,10-phen)] (1) and [VO(L2)(1,10-phen)] (2), have been synthesized in high yields by reactions with [VO(acac)2] in 1:1 ratio in methanol under reflux with 1,10-phenanthroline as co-ligand. X-ray crystallographic studies unveil the structures of 1 and 2 showing L1 and L2 bind in O^N^O coordination. The complexes were characterized by using UV-Vis, IR, NMR and Mass spectral techniques. The physiochemical properties have been interpreted by density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. The mimicking of vanadium haloperoxidase was investigated by bromination of phenol red in the presence of bromide and H2O2 with a rate of 2.68 × 102 (mol/L)−2 s−1. The DNA and BSA protein binding interactions of 1 and 2 have been explored by UV–Vis and fluorescence spectral methods; viscosity measurements reveal that the complexes interact with CT-DNA through intercalation in the order [VO(L1)(1,10-phen)](2.71 × 104) > [VO(L2)(1,10-phen)](9.67 ×103). The complexes exhibit binding interactions with BSA protein.

description: This study was performed during a three year period, 1969-1971. The first year the writer evaluated containers, soil mixtures, planting dates, fertilizers, and temperatures for optimum petunia production. The data collected aided in selecting the best greenhouse procedures for future studies. The second year three bedding plant varieties were used for further evaluate containers and soil mixtures using direct seeding and transplanting and watering continuously or watering as needed.
As a result of the first two year's studies, a liquid fertilizer (10-5-5), an average temperature of 75 F, Jiffy-7 peat pellets, plants not receiving continuous water program was used for the third year's study. Optimum plant production and some marketing was performed the third year. Direct costs were kept and evaluated as to profitability.

description: (abridged) We develop a model which describes the coevolution of the mass function of dense cores and of the IMF in a protocluster clump. In the model, cores injected in the clump evolve under the effect of gas accretion. Accretion onto the cores follows a time-dependent accretion rate that describes accretion in a turbulent medium. Once the accretion timescales of cores exceed their contraction timescales, they are turned into stars. We include the effect of feedback by the newly formed massive stars through their stellar winds. A fraction of the wind's energy is assumed to counter gravity and disperse the gas from the protocluster and as a consequence, quench further star formation. The latter effect sets the final IMF of the cluster. We apply our model to a clump that is expected to resemble the progenitor clump of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). Our model is able to reproduce both the shape and normalization of the ONC's IMF and the mass function of dense cores in Orion. The complex features of the ONC's IMF,i.e., a shallow slope in the mass range ~0.3-2.5 Msol,a steeper slope in the mass range ~2.5-12 Msol, and a nearly flat tail at the high mass end are reproduced. The model predicts a 'rapid' star formation process with an age spread for the stars of 2.3 10^5 yr which is consistent with the fact that 80% of the ONC's stars have ages of <=0.3 Myr. The model predicts a primordial mass segregation with the most massive stars being born in the region between 2-4 times the core radius of the cluster. In parallel, the model also reproduces, simultaneously, the mass function of dense cores in Orion. We study the effects of varying the model parameters on the resulting IMF and show that the IMF of stellar clusters is expected to show significant variations, provided variations in the clumps and cores properties exist.

title: A Model to Predict the Effect of Salinity on Crop Growth
Creators: name: Childs, Stuart W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: A model is developed to predict the effects of soil salinity on crop growth. As an outgrowth and extension of the modelling efforts of Nimah and Hanks (1973a) and Gupta (1972), this model makes these principal assumptions in order to arrive at a quantitative relationship: 1) relative yield for a growing season is directly related to the ratio of actual and potential transpiration. 2) Water uptake by plants is in response to the water potential gradient between the plant at the soil surface and the soil surrounding the plant roots. 3) the effect of salinity on crop growth is solely due to the effect of osmotic potential in decreasing the water potential gradient. In addition, minor assumptions are made regarding plant cover growth, plant root growth, and separation of E and T from ET.
The model was tested to assess its accuracy and was then used to make calculations regarding the relationships of plant growth, irrigation amount and water quality, initial soil salinity, and crop type. Due to the presence of a water table at two meters in the simulations, deep rooted crops showed the best growth under most conditions. Decreases in irrigation and increases in soil salinity were detrimental to crop growth. Irrigation water quality was not effective in decreasing crop growth in one season but was shown to be a factor in long term calculations. Simulations of ten-year management schemes are shown in order to demonstrate long term effects. Finally, a method is presented to evaluate different irrigation systems and calculations are made which compare a flood irrigation system and a sprinkler system.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The fluid power systems equipment industry has shown a 117 percent growth from 1957 to 1968.
This impressive growth rate is critically affected by a shortage of competently trained workers.
The needs of selected Utah industries for trained personnel in fluid power were studied, and the results were projected from the sample to the state of Utah.
The skill levels most in demand were skilled, two-year technician, and semi-skilled.
Industries indicated that training to meet their needs could be conducted by on-the-job training, inplant schools, special schools, adult education programs, vocational high school programs, tow-year vocational school programs, two-year university programs, and technical institute programs.
Based on the recommendations of Utah industries for training needed and using the Fluid Power Society curriculum as a substructure, recommendations for fluid power instructions in Utah were made.

description: Three new methoxide-bridged Cu(II) dimers are reported: tetrakis(2-methylpyrazine)di(μ-methoxy)diperchloratodicopper(II) (1), tetrakis(2-amino-5-iodopyridine)dibromide-di-μ-methoxydicopper(II) tetramethanol (2) and catena[(2-amino-5-methylpyridine)μ-bromido-μ-methoxycopper(II) (3). The compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and variable temperature magnetic measurements. All three compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1, and the dimers lie across a crystallographic inversion center. The dimers in 3 are further bridged into an alternating chain motif via semi-coordinated Cu(II)/Br interactions. All three compounds exhibit strong antiferromagnetic interactions with J/kB = −348(8) K for 1, and the exchange in 2 and 3 being too strong to estimate from the available data. The magnetic data for 1-3 are dominated by trace paramagnetic impurities at temperatures below 200 K. Correlation of the structures with the observed magnetic behavior is proposed.

description: A questionnaire containing 69 curriculum areas for a vocational agricultural program in Utah County, Utah, and a proposed rating scale was mailed to 720 students who had graduated in vocational agriculture from eight high schools; to 14 agricultural teachers, and to 22 secondary school administrators and supervisors from Utah County; and to 28 other agricultural teachers selected at random in the state. Each person was asked to evaluate each curriculum area according to four suggested rating values: no value, has value, recommended, or essential.
The rating from each respondent was tabulated for each curriculum area by total points by numerical rating sequence.
All respondents approved all curriculum areas as having value, but they differed as to degree of acceptability. Four areas received a rating of (1-12) by all respondents. Forty-three areas received total point ratings between 13-56. Eleven curriculum areas were rated low (57-69) in acceptability by three or four groups of respondents.
It is recommended that graduates from vocational agricultural programs, vocational agricultural teachers, administrators, and supervisors in secondary schools be involved in curriculum planning to correlate the agricultural program with interests of students and the needs of the communities and that data, such as revealed in this study, be considered in vocational agriculture curriculum planning.

description: During the 7th decade of the twentieth century, a period of prosperity and economic advancement, it is difficult to understand the tragedies of the "Great Depression" that began in the 1920's and lasted until the early 1940's in these United States.
Many of today's fathers and mothers remember their childhood as a period of want hunger because they were "children of the depression." Many grandparents remember the loss of their jobs, empty cupboards, idleness and widespread poverty, because they were the "parents of the depression." In today's society, relief is often taken for granted, and governmental agencies are expected to provide the needs of society both at home and abroad; this is a concept that did not exist thirty years ago.
The Great Depression was a tragic experience for everyone from the banker to the laborer. Many people experienced the pangs of hunger, and everyone saw the horrors of an economy that was at a standstill. Men who had formerly sold bonds found themselves selling apples or shining shoes. The parks of the large cities were filled with men and women who had lost their jobs and did not have the price of a bed for the night, and thus they slept on a bench or on the grass.

description: This Tech Brief summarizes the final report of a study by the same title, which was conducted as a part of a major program by the Federal Highway Administration to investigate commercial driver fatigue in commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations. The study investigated the possibility that longer-combination vehicles (LCVs), with their increased length, greater weight, and greater number of trailers, could significantly increase the amount of stress and fatigue experienced by the driver. The study was limited to the issue of fatigue under proper and normal operating conditions; it was not intended as an investigation of the safety of these vehicles. Three general conclusions regarding configuration effects that can be drawn from the study results are: (1) Configurations and other task demands consistently affected performance, subjective workload, and fatigue/physiological state following a single, C-dolly, A-dolly (SCA) pattern. The A-dolly configuration resulted in the highest level of workload and fatigue, the C-dolly configuration resulted in the next highest level, and the single-trailer configuration resulted in the lowest level of workload and fatigue. (2) Driver differences were prominent in all analyses representing between 32% and 51% of the relative mean squares for lane-keeping and workload variables. The results indicate that some drivers are challenged by the driving task and support adoption of means to reduce this challenge, particularly when driving triples. (3) Configurations also have consistent carryover effects of physiological effects, driver subjective workload, and lane-keeping performance, and imply that triple-trailer drivers generally would be expected to maintain a higher probability of safe operation with the Super C-dolly configuration than with the standard A-dolly configuration.

description: The isovector dipole E1 strength in Mo isotopes with A=92,94,96,98,100 is analyzed within the self-consistent separable random-phase approximation (SRPA) model with Skyrme forces SkT6, SkM*, SLy6, and SkI3. The special attention is paid to the low-energy region near the particle thresholds (4-12 MeV), which is important for understanding of astrophysical processes. We show that, due to a compensation effect, the influence of nuclear deformation on E1 strength below 10-12 MeV is quite modest. At the same time, in agreement with previous predictions, the deformation increases the strength at higher energy. At 4-8 MeV the strength is mainly determined by the tail of E1 giant resonance. The four Skyrme forces differ in description of the whole giant resonance but give rather similar results below 12 MeV.

description: A bis(dithiolene)nickel(II) complex, [Ni(L)2] (1) [L = 1,2-di(4-methoxyphenyl)ethene-1,2-dithiolate], has been synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, UV–vis-NIR, IR, NMR spectroscopies and high resolution mass spectrometry. The geometry of the molecule was optimized using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The calculated bond angles and distances are in agreement with the literature value. As for other dithiolenes, the present molecule absorbs extensively at 925 nm, in the near-infrared (NIR) region. A time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) predicts the absorption at 1002 nm. The other absorptions are in better parity with the experimental values. In solid-state, 1 conducts electricity. The electrical conductivity of 1 rises on increasing temperature. Upon incremental changes of temperature to 200 °C, the solid-state electrical conductivity of 1 reaches 1.91 × 10−4 S/m. From electrical conductivity versus temperature plot, it is clearly found out that 1 behaves like a semiconductor. The band gap of the molecule was calculated using DFT. The calculated band gap for 1 is 0.0724922 eV which indicates that 1 deviates from metallic to semiconductor-like behavior. The thermal stability of the molecule reveals that the molecule is thermally stable to 200 °C. This is why the temperature variance of the molecular electrical conductivity was measured to this temperature.

description: The disruption of the cellular pathways of protein biosynthesis through the mechanism of RNA interference has been recognized as a tool of great diagnostic and therapeutic significance. However, in order to fully exploit the potential of this phenomenon, efficient and safe carriers capable of overcoming extra-and intracellular barriers and delivering siRNA to the target cells are needed. Recently, attention has focused on the possibility of the application of multifunctional nanoparticles, dendrimers, as potential delivery devices for siRNA. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the formation of dendriplexes using novel poly(lysine) dendrimers (containing lysine and arginine or histidine residues in their structure), and to verify the hypothesis that the use of these polymers may allow an efficient method of siRNA transfer into the cells in vitro to be obtained. The fluorescence polarization studies, as well as zeta potential and hydrodynamic diameter measurements were used to characterize the dendrimer:siRNA complexes. The cytotoxicity of dendrimers and dendriplexes was evaluated with the resazurin-based assay. Using the flow cytometry technique, the efficiency of siRNA transport to the myeloid cells was determined. This approach allowed us to determine the properties and optimal molar ratios of dendrimer:siRNA complexes, as well as to demonstrate that poly(lysine) dendrimers may serve as efficient carriers of genetic material, being much more effective than the commercially available transfection agent Lipofectamine 2000. This outcome provides the basis for further research on the application of poly(lysine) dendrimers as carriers for nucleic acids in the field of gene therapy. © 2020 by the authors.

description: In May 1997, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) began a research project to design, develop, and evaluate a model truck and bus driver wellness program. This wellness program was developed to provide a resource for addressing truck and bus industry challenges in the area of driver safety, performance, job satisfaction, and industry competition. The program is intended to provide strategies to give drivers opportunities for improved health, benefitting the individual, the company, and the industry. The program had five primary research tasks. Tasks 1 and 2 consisted of a review of literature regarding commercial motor vehicle driver health and current wellness programs, and a draft core wellness program for FMCSA. Tasks 3, 4, and 5 involved the development of the core wellness program, the pilot test and evaluation of the program, and the development of a marketing plan. This Tech Brief summarizes the study final report, which is the product of tasks 3, 4, and 5. 4 p.
Some investigations into spark gap recovery in air and hydrogen
Creators: name: Burnett, Neal Harvey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Studies were conducted into several aspects of the recovery of a spark gap consisting of 6 mm. diameter, flat tungsten electrodes, after an initial discharge of 32 kamp. maximum, and duration 11 sec. The controlling effect of electrode heat transport on the intermediate recovery of the spark gap was demonstrated using air at 760 mm. Hg as a discharge medium, and gap lengths of 3, 4, and 5 mm. In the intermediate stages of recovery, the increase in breakdown strength of the gap was found to be proportional to t½, and to be nearly independent of gap length. These results are explained on the basis of uniaxular heat flow, through the electrodes. A previously observed long-time or delayed recovery in a hydrogen spark gap between clean tungsten electrodes was investigated to establish the possible role of hydrogen-tungsten adsorption in this effect. The temperatures of the electrodes were varied by means of small heating coils, and the recovery characteristics for heated electrodes measured. By comparing these results to the normal recovery characteristic, the phenomana of delayed recovery was shown to be at least partially attributable to the adsorption of hydrogen onto the electrode surfaces.

description: In recent years, a variety of variants of multiple zeta values (MZVs) have been defined and studied. One way to produce these variants is to restrict the indices in the definition of MZVs to some fixed parity pattern, which include Hoffman's multiple $t$-values, Kaneko and Tsumura's multiple $T$-values, and Xu and the author's multiple $S$-values. We have also considered the so-called multiple mixed values by allowing all possible parity patterns and studied a few important relations among these values. In this paper, we will turn to their finite analogs and their symmetric forms, motivated by a deep conjecture of Kaneko and Zagier which relates the finite MZVs and symmetric MZVs, and a generalized version of this conjecture by the author to the Euler sum (i.e., level two) setting. We will present a few important relations among these values such as the stuffle, reversal, and linear shuffle relations. We will also compute explicitly the (conjecturally smallest) generating set in weight one and two cases. In the appendix we tabulate some dimension computation for various sub-spaces of the finite multiple mixed values and propose a conjecture.

description: Numerical approaches to Anderson localization face the problem of having to treat large localization lengths while being restricted to finite system sizes. We show that by finite-size scaling of the probability distribution of the local density of states (LDOS) this long-standing problem can be overcome. To this end we reexamine the approach, propose numerical refinements, and apply it to study the dependence of the distribution of the LDOS on the dimensionality and coordination number of the lattice. Particular attention is given to the graphene lattice. We show that the system-size dependence of the LDOS distribution is indeed an unambiguous sign of Anderson localization, irrespective of the dimension and lattice structure. The numerically exact LDOS data obtained by us agree with a log-normal distribution over up to ten orders of magnitude and thereby fulfill a nontrivial symmetry relation previously derived for the non-linear $σ$-model.

description: Um die Herausgabe des Jahrbuchs nicht unnötig zu verzögern hat sich das Statistische Amt der Stadt Zürich entschlossen, die Ergebnisse der Volkszählung vom 1. Dezember 1910 nicht zu berücksichtigen. So konnte das Jahrbuch bereits im November erscheinen. Dies hat aber dazu geführt, dass die Angaben im Bevölkerungsstand noch nicht mit jenen der Volkszählung überein stimmen. Neu aufgenommen wurde die Tabelle über die Unterstützungen der Arbeitslosen im Winter 1909/10. Die Statistik des Liegenschaftenbesitzes konnte hingegen nicht weitergeführt werden. Dies soll im nachfolgenden Jahrgang behoben werden. Mehr Informationen zu neuen Themengebieten und kleineren Änderungen finden sich im Vorwort.

description: A series of Zn(II) complexes with oxazolidinone derivatives has been synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic techniques: IR, 1H NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and TGA/DTG thermal investigation. Theoretical computations were carried out using B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/LanL2DZ to analyze the vibrational properties, NBO charges, global chemical reactivity indices and to illustrate the FOMs. TD-DFT calculations using WB97XD functional were realized with 6-31 G(d) and LAN2DZ basis set on oxazolidinone ligands and their zinc complexes. The pharmacokinetic properties and toxicity of the investigated compounds were predicted using in silico ADMET studies. Moreover, the S. aureus, E. coli, S. pneumoniae, ribosome 50S subunit, SARS-Cov-2 spike protein and ACE2 human receptor were selected for molecular docking study. The docking study shows that HL4 and ZnL4 bind better to the spike protein and hACE2 receptor. The redox properties were also studied for ligands and their corresponding complexes using cyclic voltammetry. Finally, antioxidant activity studies using DPPH radical scavenging showed efficiency for HL2 and [Zn(L2)2] with low values of IC50 compared to ascorbic acid. The antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis (ATCC 9372), E. faecalis (ATCC 29212), S. aureus (ATCC 6538), E. coli (ATCC 4157), bacteria strains, C. albicans (ATCC 24433) and A. niger fungi strains were evaluated.

description: To examine the issue of roadside inspection uniformity, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiated a research project to provide practical information to FMCSA, commercial carriers, Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) agencies, and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, to guide and improve standardized roadside enforcement of commercial motor vehicle regulations across North America. This tech brief is based on the project final report, "Uniformity of Roadside Safety Inspections of Commercial Vehicles and Drivers on the National Level: Summary and Conclusions." It outlines the project objectives, methodology, findings, recommendations and best practices. Project researchers found no evidence of a significant problem with the overall uniformity of commercial motor vehicle inspections. Almost all inspections were performed in compliance with the North American Standard Inspection (NASI) criteria. Drivers interviewed in the field as well as those participating in the local driver/industry focus group sessions did not identify any significant problems with uniformity or fairness of inspections. However, there does appear to be a lack of knowledge among drivers about both the levels and practices of roadside safety inspections. The final report suggests that all agencies involved in the MCSAP work toward enhancing the overall knowledge and awareness of the commercial motor vehicle safety inspection program. 4 p.
