title: The change and fluctuation in the price of oil and their effects on unemployment in the United States of America

description: This research studies the effect of the change and fluctuation in price of oil on unemployment rate divided into different sectors. The Oil Price Shock of 1990, Oil Price Shock of 1999, and the Oil Price Shock of 2003 are the three oil price shocks studied. Multiple regression analysis and ordinary least square is performed on time series data. GDP is also studied and is an independent variable. Oil Price fluctuation is defined as the standard deviation of the daily price of oil for the month. The area of study is America. Oil and America is described as having an important and special relationship. America is a top consumer of oil and not only that but America is a leader in importing of oil. However, America is a top producer of oil. This research finds that in some sectors oil price change and/or fluctuation does have an effect on unemployment rate. What matters most to unemployment rate is GDP, not oil price change and/or fluctuation. To control unemployment rate the key will be to encourage and support GDP growth consistent with maintainable economic progress. It was thought that the more energy intensive or capital intensive a sector was the more it would be affected by oil price change and fluctuation but these were found to not be good measures.

title: The impact of stock market development on economic growth : evidence from major SAARC Countries

description: To investigate the impact of stock market development on economic growth in SAARC region as well as for each of the member countries. The paper employs the two dynamic panel models for the period of 1980 to 2004. The first model tries to assess the stock market effect directly where as the second one does it by having its influence through investment. The findings can be identified that both models reflected the fact that no stock market variables such as size, market activity, and liquidity have positive effect on the per capita growth rate in SAARC region. The study also finds out that stock market indicators do not have any significant impact on the growth rate of any SAARC member countries. This may be due to the small size of the stock market relative to economy.

title: Remolding child : process of nursing practice for sexually abused children

description: The process of the nursing practice for sexually abused child patients is a pivotal strategy to prevent them from chronic illness.However, theory related to the nursing practice for sexually abused children was currently unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore how psychiatric nurses practiced nursing for school-aged sexually abused children who were admitted to psychiatric wards. A grounded theory approach was used in the study. Twelve psychiatric nurses who had experience in providing nursing care for sexually abused child patients, aged between 35-59 years old, were participants of this study. Data was collected by in-depth interview, tape- recorded, and transcribed verbatim, line by line. Data were analyzed using grounded theory method. The findings indicated that, “remolding child” was the basic social process by which psychiatric nurses provide nursing practice for sexually abused children admitted to psychiatric wards. The process of remolding child was composed of 3 stages that was happened continuously in sequence. Each stage consisted of sub-stages that had no sequences in their occurrence, and these sub-stages were simultaneous and reciprocal. In remolding child process, the first stage was started with establishing trusts, arranging effective communication, and providing physical care. The second stage was fostering socialization, building will-power, and arranging a safe and supportive environment. The final stage was assisting living in society. Working as a team and self developing were two other important characteristics of this remolding child process.This substantive theory recommends a new insight, new knowledge and understanding into the nursing practice process for sexually abused children admitted to psychiatric wards in Thailand. It can be used as a guideline to develop interventions to prevent the residual symptoms of chronic psychiatric problems occurring in later years.

title: Effects of organic selenium supplement on selenium level in plasma, sperm morphology and sperm motility in dogs

description: To evaluate the effect of organic Se on Se level in plasma, sperm morphology, and sperm motility of dogs, and to determine the suitable amount of organic Se supplement which can enhance sperm motility and morphology. Nine healthy male beagle dogs age between 4.5-5 years, have average weight between 10-13 kg. An experimental design was a complete randomized design (CRD). Seven days before the experiment, semen was collected and was examined microscopically to determine the semen quality. The examined parameters were membrane integrity (Hypo-osmotic swelling test) and sperm motility. Then statistical data (percentage) would be calculated and used to pick up nine samples from the entire dogs. The selected samples would be categorized into three groups with three dogs each. This would decrease the variations between the treatment groups. Group 1 was the control group (non supplemented Se), group 2 and 3 were supplemented with organic Se at 1 and 3 ppm, respectively. The dogs received a basal diet that was found to contain Se at 0.03 ppm for 2 weeks. After that, the dogs were fed a basal diet and supplement with various amounts of organic Se for 16 weeks. Supplementation of organic Se at 1 and 3 ppm had no affect on body weight, color of semen, pH, creatinine, glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), free 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) in serum. But at week 12th, all three groups had total 3,3',5 triiodothyronine (TT3) in serum greater (P

title: Molecular simulations of membrane fusion structure of HIV GP41 n-terminal peptide

description: To understand how the viral proteins destabilize the cell membrane in the initial stages of the fusion process, the conformation of membrane-bound viral fusion peptides must be elucidated. Here, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate structural and dynamical properties of the 16-residue, 23-residue and 30-residue fusion peptides (FPs) of human immunodeficiency virus bound to a dimyris-toyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayer. The NMR data of the gp41 N-terminal FP in membrane-mimicking environments was used as the initial structures. The simulations revealed that the peptides adopt an α-helical structure during the entire simulations. In agreement with experimental studies, the helical content of more than 50% was observed for all FPs. However, the C-terminal part of the peptide is unstructured and rather more flexible than the N-terminal. The peptide forms stable complexes with the lipid bilayer by inserting its hydrophobic residues into the hydrophobic membrane core and exposing its polar terminal to water. Changes of the bilayer structure around the FP were also detected. Thus, it induces increasing of the thickness of bilayer and disordering of acyl chains of lipids in close proximity to the FP.

title: Influence of precursors on synthesis and metal sorption properties of Schiff's base doped Silica

description: To investigate the influence of silica precursor on the synthesis and metal sorption properties of Schiff’s base doped mesoporous silica. Different silica precursors including TEOS, calcined mesoporous silica, silica gel 60, VTES, PTMS and ETES were used. Various Schiff’s bases namely, salen, saltn and haen were used as doping molecules. The Schiff’s base doped mesoporous silica synthesized from TEOS, calcined mesoporous silica, VTES, PTMS, and ETES had large surface area, narrow pore size distribution, crystalline structure, and spherical shape. The extraction properties of the modified silica towards Cu(II), Fe(III) and Ni(II) were determined. The influence of the ratio of Schiff’s base/TEOS on the synthesis and extraction properties were investigated. The maximum amounts of incorporating Schiff’s base were found to be 1.00, 0.86, and 0.96 mmol g [superscript -1] for salen, saltn, and haen doped mesoporous silica, respectively. The extraction of Fe(III) was increased with the increase of amount of incorporated Schiff’s base. The profound extraction studies were performed on the salen doped mesoporous silica synthesized from TEOS or calcined mesoporous silica due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Adsorption kinetic of these sorbents was consistent with the pseudo-second order model. The adsorption isotherm was best fitted to the Langmuir model. The Cu(II) and Fe(III) maximum extraction capacity of salen doped mesoporous silica synthesized from calcined mesoporous silica was found to be 18.42 and 20.70 mg g-1 respectively. The reusability of the modified silica was also assessed for three successive adsorption-desorption cycles.

title: Competitive equilibrium with quality uncertainty

description: The product quality plays important role in modeling competition. This paper explains the behaviors of both consumers and firms by using Monte Carlo simulation when they face quality uncertainty during the competition. Quality uncertainty will lead to market failure, which decreases consumer welfare and distorts profits among firms. Uninformed consumers that face difficulty to recognize quality of each product are easily deceived by firms. Because consumers use price as a signal of product quality, deceiving firms set the high price with low quality (pooling price strategy) to deceive uninformed consumers. Model of simulation shows the Nash equilibrium results for three cases. In the first cases when all consumers are informed, all firms will set reasonable price with their quality (separating price strategy). The utility is the highest. In the second cases when the market has a small fraction of uninformed consumers and low deceiving power of firm, at the Nash equilibrium the lowest quality producing firm will use the pooling price strategy. The consumer utility decreases when the uninformed fraction increases. In the last case with more uninformed consumers or high power of deceiving, at the Nash equilibrium firms that produce the highest quality and the lowest quality will use the separating price strategy whereas the firms that produce medium quality products will use the pooling price strategy. The medium quality firms have incentives to create the unclear quality to consumers by using the pooling price strategy to increase profits. The utility of consumers in last two cases are not maximized because some consumers suffer from consuming low-quality products with high-priced. Consumers will adjust their taste to eliminate quality uncertainty. When no ones will be deceived, welfare of buyers is high but there are still some losses from deceiving attempt. This utility level is lower than in the case when there is no quality uncertainty. Policymakers can solve this problem by giving information about quality to buyers before they make a decision. Government should set up the regulation for the producer to reveal quality of their product in comparison with others opponents or make the consumers guide book to explain the feature of products to consumers. These measures will help eliminate the quality uncertainty to uninformed consumers and raises social welfare of market.

title: Use of Rice Hull Ash (RHA) as a Sustainable Source of Construction Material

description: Corresponding data set for Tran-SET Project No. 17CASU02. Abstract of the final report is stated below for reference: "With the imminent shortage of natural resources, the need to find sustainable development is the highest in recent history. Therefore, this study examines the potential uses of Rice Hull Ash (RHA) as a sustainable cementitious material (SCM) in preparation of concrete. This study also assesses the use of RHA as an alternative of commonly used polymers in preparing high-grade asphalt binders. RHA is a potential sustainable solution because it is currently being treated as an agricultural waste material, yet its high silica content makes it a potential construction material. Three different sizes of RHA (600 µm, 150 µm, and 44 µm) with two different partial replacement percentages (10% and 20%) of type I Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) were considered to prepare concrete and mortar samples. For the comparative analysis, two more SCM materials, namely, class C fly ash (CFA) and silica fume (SF), were also incorporated in this study. The results of the fresh concrete tests (slump, unit weight, air entrainment) and hardened concrete tests (e.g., compressive, tensile, flexural strength) have suggested that with a 10% replacement of OPC using finer RHA- modified concrete exhibits the improvement of concrete properties compared to the regular concrete. Based on limited test data of RHA-modified binders, RHA appears to be a viable alternative of commonly used polymers."
