A study of Bangladesh’s secondary school curriculum textbooks in students’ national identity construction in an overseas context (2019)

This paper problematizes the interplay between curriculum textbooks and national identity constructions. Drawing on data from Bangladesh’s school-textbooks, and students’ and teachers’ perspectives, the study identifies factors shaping Bangladesh’s national identity in the textbook discourses and discusses students’ experiences of these in an overseas school. Conceptualizing national identity construction as a discursive social practice, the study is informed by the postcolonial theoretical framework and Foucauldian Discourse Analysis. Findings suggest that the sampled textbooks project Bangla Language Movement of 1952 and Bangladesh’s Liberation War with Pakistan as Bangladesh’s defining national identity markers. This constitutes Pakistan as Bangladesh’s external “Other” and criminalizes those who did not support the Liberation War, establishing them as Bangladesh’s internal “Other”. Participating students’ strong identification with the nationalist discourses signals intense hostility towards Pakistan which has implications in the given overseas context. Their acrimony towards home-based internal “Other”, and significantly weak identification with other textbook-projected national signifiers i.e., secularism/liberalism, religious/ethnic diversity and female representation has implications for Bangladesh’s national social cohesion, gender relations and multiculturalism.
Chapter 2 Tracking Devices (2008)

Tracking devices are an essential component of an image-guided surgery system. These devices are used to track the position of instruments relative to the patient anatomy. Although early tracking systems were essentially mechanical digitizers, the field quickly adopted optical tracking systems because of their high accuracy and relatively large workspace. However, optical tracking systems require that a line-of-sight be maintained between the tracking device and the instrument to be tracked, which is not always convenient and precludes tracking of flexible instruments inside the body. Therefore, electromagnetic tracking systems were developed that had no line-of-sight requirement and could track instruments such as catheters and the tips of needles inside the body. The choice of tracking system is highly application dependent and requires an understanding of the desired working volume and accuracy requirements. To meet these needs, a variety of tracking devices and techniques have been introduced as described in this chapter.
A dataset of ecological sensitivity evaluation of Sanya City in 2020 (2022)

Ecological sensitivity refers to the sensitivity of the ecological environment to the natural phenomena and human activities in a region. As one of the main methods to analyze the stability of the regional ecological environment, it can reflect the possibility of the occurrence of ecological imbalance and ecological environmental problems. It is important for regional ecological protection and decision-making. For Sanya City, the central city in the southern part of Hainan Province, improving and protecting the ecological environment plays an important role in the sustainable development of the region. In this paper, we chose Sanya City as the study area to compile a dataset of ecological sensitivity evaluation of Sanya City in 2020. We used 9 factors (i.e. elevation, slope, aspect, vegetation coverage, water body, land use type, soil erosion intensity, population density distribution, and road accessibility distance) as the ecological sensitivity evaluation indicators. And we adopted the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to calculate the weight of each evaluation index, and divided the study area into five levels: non-sensitive, low-sensitive, medium-sensitive, high-sensitive, and extremely high-sensitive through GIS spatial analysis and calculation. In terms of the data quality control, we carried out various data verifications by screening cloud-free images in the Sanya City area, the kappa coefficient of the land use supervision and classification consistency test (about 0.85), and combined the NDWI results with the remote sensing images to obtain the water body range, so as to improve the reliability of data quality. This dataset can reflect the ecological sensitivity of Sanya City, and provide a reference data source for ecological environmental protection, resource development and land planning in Sanya City.
12–O–Tetradecanoyl–Phorbol–13–Acetate Enhancement of the Tumorigenic Potential of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Transformed Cells (1983)

The consequences of tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) interaction with clonal HSV-2-transformed nontumorigenic and weakly tumorigenic cells were studied. Enhancement of anchorage-independent growth (cloning efficiency) occurred in a dose-dependent manner when transformed but not nontransformed cells were pretreated with TPA. All subclonal nontumorigenic cell lines progressed to become tumorigenic after 20 serial passages in the presence of TPA. Also, subclonal, weakly tumorigenic cell lines were enhanced in tumorigenic potential (measured by reduced latent period for tumor formation) after transient treatment with TPA. In summary, TPA irreversibly enhanced the cloning efficiency and tumorigenic potential of transformed cells long after initiation by the virus.
Amino acid sequence of human plasma apolipoprotein C-II from normal and hyperlipoproteinemic subjects. (1984)

The complete amino acid sequence of human plasma apolipoprotein C-II isolated from normal individuals and a subject with type V hyperlipoproteinemia has been determined. Apo-C-II contains 79 amino acids with the following amino acid composition: Asp4, Asn1, Thr9, Ser9, Glu7, Gln7, Pro4, Gly2, Ala6, Val4, Met2, Ile1, Leu8, Tyr5, Phe2, Lys6, Arg1, Trp1. Cleavage of apo-C-II by cyanogen bromide produced three peptides designated as CB-1 (9 residues), CB-2 (51 residues), and CB-3 (19 residues). Two peptides, CT-1 (50 residues) and CT-2 (29 residues), which overlapped the cyanogen bromide peptides, were obtained by tryptic digestion of citraconylated apo-C-II at the single arginine residue. The amino acid sequence of apo-C-II was obtained by the automated phenyl isothiocyanate degradation of intact apo-C-II and the peptides produced by cleavage of apo-C-II by cyanogen bromide and trypsin. Phenylthiohydantoins were identified by high performance liquid chromatography and chemical ionization-mass spectrometry. The amino acid sequence of apo-C-II from the normal subject was identical with the apo-C-II isolated from the hyperlipoproteinemic subject.
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) (2015)

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is a scalable mechanism by which a mail-originating organization can express domain-level policies and preferences for message validation, disposition, and reporting, that a mail-receiving organization can use to improve mail handling.Originators of Internet Mail need to be able to associate reliable and authenticated domain identifiers with messages, communicate policies about messages that use those identifiers, and report about mail using those identifiers.These abilities have several benefits: Receivers can provide feedback to Domain Owners about the use of their domains; this feedback can provide valuable insight about the management of internal operations and the presence of external domain name abuse.DMARC does not produce or encourage elevated delivery privilege of authenticated email.DMARC is a mechanism for policy distribution that enables increasingly strict handling of messages that fail authentication checks, ranging from no action, through altered delivery, up to message rejection.
An analytic net weighting approach for performance optimization in circuit placement (1991)

We propose an efficient circuit placement ap- proach based on analytic net weighting controls for nonlinear performance constraints. We justify the popular net weight- ing heuristic by first showing that an appropriate net weight- ing is a natural result of the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of cir- cuit placement optimization subject to the performance con- straints. We further give a quantitative analysis of the ef- fect of net weighting to wire length change. An effective net weighting control algorithm has been implemented and ap- plied to real chip designs. The results are very promising. A performance-optimized result can be achieved in 13.2 seconds for a chip with 1,403 circuits. An experimental CMOS chip with 45,296 circuits has a complete placement result in 40 minutes while the wire length measure is 20.3 percent better than a simulated annealing approach.
Contribution of phenolic acids isolated from green and roasted boiled-type coffee brews to total coffee antioxidant capacity (2015)

The antioxidant capacity (AC) of boiled-type coffee brews (CB) and phenolic acids (PA) isolated from them, obtained from the caffeinated and decaffeinated beans of different geographical origins and species and with different roasting degrees, was examined. The AC of PA and CB samples was tested in five antioxidant assays: a total antioxidants reducing capacity assay using a Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (FCR), a ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, a DPPH· radical-scavenging activity (DPPH) assay, a metal chelating activity (MCA) assay and a total radical trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP) assay. In most samples, the total amount of phenolic acids, determined by HPLC, decreased with the increasing degree of roasting the coffee beans, leading to reduced AC. All used methods showed that CB exhibits higher AC compared with the PA samples. Phenolic acids isolated from CB samples have the main contribution (on average over 95 and 84 % in green and roasted coffee extracts, respectively) in AC of the CB samples in FCR, FRAP and TRAP assays, whereas in DPPH and MCA tests, the phenolic acid contribution in AC of CB samples was below 50 % (on average over 36 and 45 % in green and roasted coffee extracts, respectively). Significant differences between the AC values determined for CB and PA samples were noticed only for the MCA and DPPH methods which reflect the different molecular mechanisms underlying each of the assays. Additionally, the statistical methods, including principal component analysis, applied to results of antioxidant capacity obtained with different analytical techniques confirmed their feasibility to distinguish between coffee brews with different degrees of roasting, regardless of coffee origin.
Syntax-Directed Translation of Concurrent Programs into Self-Timed Circuits (1988)

Abstract : We presented a method for the automatic compilation of concurrent programs into self-timed circuits. The compilation is directed by the syntax of the source language and produces linear-sized implementations of arbitrary concurrent programs. We have constructed a compiler which performs this translation.

Expression of TREM-1 mRNA in acute pancreatitis (2004)

The expression of TREM-1 mRNA in the patients with AP increases obviously, and correlates with the degree of AP. Furthermore, the expression of TREM-1 mRNA is distinctly different at the different stages of AP. It indicates TREM-1 may play an important role in the occurrence and development of AP.
What has happened and what has not happened due to the coronavirus disease pandemic: a systemic perspective on policy change (2022)

Abstract The societal and policy transformations associated with the coronavirus disease pandemic are currently subject of intense academic debate. In this paper, we contribute to this debate by adopting a systemic perspective on policy change, shedding light on the hidden and indirect crisis effects. Based on a comprehensive analysis of policy agenda developments in Germany, we find that the pandemic led to profound shifts in political attention across policy areas. We demonstrate that these agenda gains and losses per policy area vary by the extent to which the respective areas can be presented as relevant in managing the coronavirus disease crisis and its repercussions. Moreover, relying on the analysis of past four economic crises, we also find that there is limited potential for catching up dynamics after the crisis is over. Policy areas that lost agenda share during crisis are unlikely to make up for these losses by strong attention gains once the crisis is over. Crises have hence substantial, long-term and so far, neglected effects on policymaking in modern democracies.
Radiochemical graft copolymerization of methacrylonitrile and binary mixture of methacrylonitrile with 4‐vinylpyridine onto isotactic polypropylene fiber (1994)

Abstract Graft copolymerization of methacrylonitrile (MAN) and its binary mixture with 4‐vinylpyridine (4‐VP) onto isotactic polypropylene (IPP) fiber has been studied in aqueous medium by the preirradiation method. Optimum conditions for obtaining the maximum percentage of grafting have been evaluated. Rate of grafting ( Rg ) has been determined as a function of total initial monomer concentration. The graft copolymers are characterized by IR spectroscopy, by thermogravimetric analysis, and by isolating the polymer from the graft copolymer. The effect of MAN, an acceptor monomer, on percentage of grafting of 4‐VP, a donor monomer, has been discussed in the light of the mechanism proposed for grafting by the radiochemical method. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Identifying and testing candidate genetic polymorphisms in the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): association with TNFSF15 and TNFα (2012)

Three-dimensional stratigraphic modelling of the Grès d’Annot system, Eocene-Oligocene, SE France (2004)

Abstract The Eocene-Oligocene Grès d’Annot series of SE France is a well-known turbidite system for sand-rich gravity deposits. The Grès d’Annot were deposited in several parallel and tectonically controlled elongated sub-basins in the western Alps foreland setting. Regional stratigraphic correlation is used to reconstruct and simulate in three dimensions the large-scale geometry and facies distribution of the Grés d’Annot in the Annot and Trois Evêchés sub-basins. The input parameters of the model are the accommodation, the sediment supply and the transport parameters. These are estimated from the geological model and subsequently adjusted in order to fit the simulation with selected sedimentological sections. From the analysis of the three-dimensional simulated block and of the adjusted input parameter set, an interpretation is proposed in which the relative contribution of external factors controlling the stratigraphic architecture are estimated. The first-order parameters that control the large-scale stratigraphic architecture are the initial basin physiography, the basin-floor deformation and the sediment supply variations through time and space. Small-scale folding and large-scale flexuration of the substratum control the confinement of the system and the available space for sedimentation. Sediment supply and water discharge variations through time are responsible for high frequency (fourth-order) and low frequency (third-order) stratigraphic cycles. This interpretation fits well with a model of a flood-dominated fluvio-turbidite ramp system in which physical continuity exists between the fan delta and the basinal turbidites. In such a tectonically active and confined basin, third- and fourth-order stratigraphic cyclicity might respectively result from uplift-denudation cycles and climatic variations through time. Tectonic activity in the source area may also be responsible for the migration of the main feeding system.
Thickness and model optimization in characterization of optical interference films by using discontinuities of n(lambda) solutions (1995)

The characterization of inhomogeneous thin film has been a widely studied topic. In the present work an inhomogeneous film model where the real part of the refractive index has a parabolic profile through the film thickness is supposed and a procedure for the unequivocal determination of the model parameters from normal incidence spectro-photometric measurements of T(lambda), R(lambda) and R'(lambda) is outlined. The parabolic model can be useful in the initial stage of investigation on a film material, which is suspected of being inhomogenous, as the model parameters, the gradient and curvature of the n parabolic profile, provide a quantitative evaluation of the film inhomogeneity even when the parabolic model is not realistic.
On weighted egocentric graphs and social group communication (2013)

Electronic communication has a profound impact on our society, where for instance social media now is almost ubiquitously used to share information. This has led to several major challenges, including how to overcome information overload and privacy concerns, how to utilize social context based on multiple data sources from both the virtual and physical worlds, and subsequently how to improve group communication.This doctoral thesis presents an Aggregated Social Graph (ASG) framework that utilizes weighted egocentric graphs representing the calculated social strength between people. The framework is based on a unified interaction model that support capturing and aggregating information from communication services such as social networks, mobile phones and email clients. Two algorithms for social strength computation are presented and evaluated in this thesis: Utility Function and Euclidean Distance.The proposed framework contains a social recommender engine that includes context-based methods (tags, locations and objects) to rank, filter, recommend and group social contacts and information based on the weighted egocentric graphs. The ranking of contacts can for instance be used to automatically form contextual groups. These groups can be used to dynamically compose and tailor communication tools for specific communication contexts by integrating widgets into web-based collaborative environments.The framework also contains a novel social distribution mechanism for controlling otherwise flat or viral distribution of information. The mechanism combine weighted egocentric graphs and users' context to establish a level of trust to control propagation of information, thus reducing the potential perception of spamming.The work is evaluated through several proof-of-concept prototypes that show the potential to improve distribution and filtering of information as well as social group formation. The proof-of-concept prototypes also show that communication tools can be dynamically composed for a specific group of users and for a specific context. Moreover, this thesis presents evaluation studies that compare the social strength algorithms and verify the concept of contextual group formation.In conclusion, utilizing social context as represented by weighted egocentric graphs has the potential to improve group communication services. We believe that the proposed framework is an effective means to reduce the problems with information overload and to enable automation of processes related to electronic group communication.
Experimental Comparison of Passive, Semi-Active On/Off, and Semi-Active Continuous Suspensions (1989)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Much computer simulation work has been conducted on various kinds of semi-active suspensions composed of linear components and linear damping. These results show broad improvements over passive suspensions, but there has been little experimental data for verification. In order to verify conclusions drawn from simulations, experiments were conducted on a quarter-car apparatus in the two degree-of-freedom mode. A force controlled damper was built to produce the force of any one of many different dampers and control policies. The physical system is compared to a computer model for the following responses: RMS acceleration of the sprung mass, RMS suspension travel, RMS tire contact force, and percent overshoot. The trends in the experimental results agree with those in the simulations.</div>
The Forsaken Jesus and the Black Sun of Atheism (2019)

This article begins with a presentation of the thought of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, who characterizes contemporary thinking as a gravitational movement around the “black sun” of atheism. Although he is an atheist himself, his project is to find an opening from within atheism that will allow contemporary thought to break free of the gravitational force of unbelief that keeps us locked into a post-Enlightenment nihilistic worldview. The article presents Nancy’s turn to Christianity and his intuition that the deconstruction of Christian realities such as “creation,” “ faith,” and “prayer” can provide a way out of our current dilemma. In the second part of the article, the author suggests that the figure of the forsaken Jesus may contain the very escape from nihilistic darkness that Nancy is searching for. A variety of texts from authors such as Albert Camus, G. K. Chesterton, and Samuel Beckett, poems by William Cowper and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and the writings of Chiara Lubich are presented to illustrate how the forsaken Jesus can be seen as underlying different symbolic expressions of the depth of human suffering, the sense of the absence of God, and the hope that emanates from crucified love.
