Characterization of physical properties of bismuth-titanium coatings on 316L stainless steel

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The 316 L steel is a type of stainless steel widely used in the medical industry, which in recent years has been studied for different uses in society. Being an engineering material, it is imperative to know its performance based on its physical and mechanical properties that allow identifying the response of this steel in addition to thin films as coatings. Bismuth and titanium have been recently used to improve the properties of 316 L steel, so they were used in this study. The sol-gel technique was used as the film forming method. The response of physical and mechanical properties was evaluated from the analysis of microhardness and coefficient of friction reported for the different types of steel-coating systems. Higher microhardness values were found for films with higher proportion of titanium. The coefficient of friction values is influenced by the system used, with higher values obtained for samples with a single coating layer.
Clozapine intoxication due to cessation of smoking and infection.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We report on a patient on clozapine treatment who was admitted to our hospital with pneumonia. He had stopped smoking a few weeks before admission. The serum clozapine rose to a toxic level, most likely due to the combination of infection and smoking cessation. Physicians and pharmacists are often not aware of risk factors for decreased metabolism of clozapine.
Rapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal secretions by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respiratory syncytial virus antigen detection kit (Ortho Diagnostics, Inc., Raritan, N.J.) was compared with virus culture and with the indirect fluorescent antibody test (FAT) by using fresh nasal washings from children with suspected respiratory syncytial virus infection. Both uncentrifuged nasal washings and pellets from centrifuged split specimens were examined by ELISA. The ELISA was considered positive when the optical density was greater than the mean background optical density plus 0.15. Specimens positive by ELISA but negative by culture and FAT were reexamined in an ELISA blocking assay. Of 337 uncentrifuged specimens, 124 (37%) were positive by culture, 107 (32%) were positive by FAT, and 166 (49%) were positive by ELISA. Blocking assays showed that 21 of 30 (70%) of the seemingly false-positive ELISA tests were, in fact, true-positives and that the cultures and FATs were falsely negative. A patient specimen was considered positive when it was positive by virus culture, FAT, or blocking assay. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of the ELISA test were 88, 94, and 95%, respectively. Centrifugation of nasal washings raised the sensitivity from 88 to 92% but reduced the specificity from 94 to 81%. We conclude that the Ortho ELISA test of uncentrifuged nasal washings is more sensitive than virus culture or indirect FAT and is highly specific.
A Review on Impact of Covid-19 on Labor Migration: Ethical Lessons for Human Resource Management (HRM)

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose: The COVID-19 has caused severe issues concerning Human Resource Management (HRM, hereafter) and organizations worldwide. Organized sectors using the work from home culture equipped with various technological supports managed their organizations and protected their jobs. However, many people lost jobs in other professional units that could not cope with technical support, such as industrial and manufacturing units, which run through on-site human resources. Indeed, this has been an issue much relevant for the HRM strategists and policy-makers. However, this paper draws attention to a significant matter relating to HRM: the mass labour migration that occurred due to COVID19 across the globe. India's two most populated states, Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar, have faced severe social and economic problems because of large-scale migration. States across the county have been ordered to evacuate the people who are migrants from the other states for the proper health management to combat the pandemic. Central and state governments supported different packages. International organizations like UNDP also worked with states to help such people. However, there are tough ethical lessons to learn from this pandemic experience. This paper reviews the HRM policies and programs of the Government and Private sectors by addressing these issues. It offers some essential ethical guidelines for HRM in the view of health emergencies like COVID-19.
Insulin-like effect of trypsin on the phosphorylation of rat adipocyte insulin receptor.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Trypsin treatment of a partially purified insulin receptor preparation from rat adipocytes stimulated the phosphorylation of 90,000- and 72,000-Da polypeptides immunoprecipitated by anti-insulin receptor antibody. The phosphorylation of tyrosine residues alone was observed in both polypeptides. Trypsin concentrations which stimulated insulin receptor phosphorylation were the same as those previously shown to activate rat adipocyte glycogen synthase. Trypsin treatment of the insulin receptor fraction also stimulated the phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate of tyrosine kinase similarly to insulin treatment. Trypsin treatment of a highly purified insulin receptor from human placenta also activated the phosphorylation of the receptor-derived peptides. These results suggest that the insulin-stimulated protein kinase, a component of the insulin receptor, was activated by tryptic digestion to phosphorylate polypeptides derived from the insulin receptor itself. Thus, it is suggested that stimulation by trypsin of phosphorylation of the insulin receptor may be related to the insulin-like metabolic actions of trypsin observed in rat adipocytes.
Integrating Multiple Geospatial Datasets for Precise and Efficient Surface Water Extent Mapping in Malaysia

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Accurate mapping of surface water extent is essential for several applications, including water resources management, climate modelling, biodiversity conservation, agricultural irrigation, hydropower, and food security. Inland water management is critical in Malaysia due to dams, river basins, and heavy rainfall. In a tropical country, mapping surface water is challenging due to cloud cover and dense vegetation. This study proposes an approach that uses rule sets in ArcGIS Model Builder to automate the identification of water bodies. At the regional scale, the extent of surface waters can be mapped by integrating multiple geospatial datasets, including surface terrain, global surface water data, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. Accuracy is calculated by comparing the results to high-resolution optical imagery via the SecureWatch® application. The accuracy of 200 stratified random points is 95%, with a kappa value of 0.90 for water body and land area classes. This study maps a 12,563.95 km 2 study area covering several states in Malaysia. These results show that the integration of multiple geospatial datasets using rule sets and data modelling can map the extent of surface waters in Malaysia. The proposed approach could be applied in other tropical countries with similar topography.
Granitoid emplacement and deformation: a case study of the thorr pluton, Ireland, with contrasting examples from Scotland

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The importance of pre-existing country rock structure in controlling the siting and geometry of intrusive bodies has been overlooked by recent workers, with most studies tending to concentrate on the effect of tectonic processes. This thesis describes three Caledonian plutons emplaced at intermediate crustal levels, the Thorr Granite, Co. Donegal, the Ratagain Complex, Inverness-shire and the Loch Loyal Syenite Complex, Sutherland. None of these plutons appear to have been emplaced in association with large tectonic strains. In all three cases, data collected from both the country rocks and the plutons demonstrates that regional tectonics alone cannot account for the observed shape, fabric evolution and mode of emplacement. Instead these features are more directly controlled by the interaction of the pre-existing structural architecture in the country rocks with fault and shear zones. Thus, whilst tectonic forces act as the catalyst in initiating the creation of space into which magma can be emplaced, the pre-existing structural architecture will control the ultimate form of the pluton. The plutons described in this thesis can, therefore, be considered to represent an intermediate stage between the sheeted intrusions that are emplaced in association with active shear zones, for example the Main Donegal Granite, and high level, passively emplaced plutons, such as the Rosses Granite. The evolution of deformation fabrics within the three plutons is described in detail. In all cases magmatic state deformation fabrics are predominant. However, most of these magmatic state fabrics are aligned parallel to the intrusion margins; this is particularly true in the case of the Thorr Pluton. Such a geometry could be accounted for by invoking the presence of large shear strains at the time of fabric formation. However, in the absence of evidence for large shear strains in the country rocks, it is proposed that such fabric geometries may be produced as a result of localised coaxial strain component in response to the body forces, or 'buoyancy head', exerted by the magma acting across the intrusion walls. Finally, in studying the kinematics of intrusion of the Thorr Pluton, a new technique for determining shear sense in rocks deformed in the magmatic state has been applied. The data collected from the application of this technique was found to corroborate the shear sense data collected from the envelope rocks. In this instance, the technique was a valuable aid to kinematic analysis, and ultimately to deducing an emplacement model for the Thorr Pluton.
Design and Installation of a Polyethylene Natural Gas Gathering System: A Case Study

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In certain applications, the use of polyethylene pipe in a natural gas gathering system offers substantial advantages over a conventional welded steel line. Polyethylene flowline is ideal for use in a natural gas gathering system where average field pressures are below 250 psig. A polyethylene line may be the only alternative when economics dictate the expense of a costlier steel une impractical, or when corrosion is a major concern. This paper covers the design process and installation of a polyethylene natural gas gathering system in south Ohio. Methods used to calculate pressure drops in the system based on anticipated field conditions, including length, size and schedule of pipe, throughput, and compressor inlet pressure, are discussed. Procedures used to evaluate the pressure limitations of a polyethylene flowline are also examined. Other design factors such as state and federal regulations and line protection systems are presented. Project costs are compared and contrasted to a comparable conventional welded steel line. Installation techniques, equipment, and pitfalls are addressed. Post installation pressure drop data is analyzed to determine the accuracy of the pressure drop methodologies used to design the gathering system and those methodologies modified to more closely match field performance.
An advanced platform to develop test software for domestic appliances based on hybrid architecture

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Test systems are widely adopted to assist the design and testing of domestic appliances. A test system mainly includes computers, data acquisition instruments and test software. Development of test software often suffers from low efficiency due to the complex design, programming and debugging process. In this paper, we design a platform to facilitate the development of test software based on Client/Server and Browser/Server hybrid architecture. The development process of the test software is turned into configuring parameters through the graphic user interface (GUI). The platform presented consists of the reusable component libraries, client-based assembly subsystem, Web-based assembly subsystem, data collection subsystem and customization subsystem. Our platform is validated by various cases of developing test software for manufacturing enterprises. The results demonstrate that our platform remarkably improves the development efficiency and quality of test software.
On the American Put Option with Ambiguity

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Owing to ambiguity in markets, this article introduces a generalized model to price the American put option with multiple priors in continuous time. Under some feasible conditions, the problem of American put option under ambiguity can be reduced to a pertinent free boundary problem in a Markovian setting. We can give a conservative evaluation for the American option under ambiguity, since the size of k-ignorance can be estimated by the historical data. Our methods show an effective optimal timing strategy against the stock price behavior and ambiguity aversion.
CORRELATIONS BETWEEN DHT LEVELS AND NBS OF R 1881 RECEPTOR IN TOTAL TISSUE, CYTOSOL AND NUCLEAR EXTRACT OF HUMAN PROSTATE

ヒト前立腺組織内の 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) 濃度測定は微量組織での assay 可能なことから前立腺癌の androgen dependency 判定に有用である事を報告してきた. 今回, その裏付けとして前立腺肥大症 (BPH) と normal prostate を対象としてDHT濃度とR1881 receptor assayとの対比を試みた. total tissue DHT濃度は cytosol, nuclear extract のDHたが, receptor assay との関係ではT濃度いずれとも良く相関し cytosol NBSとは相関せず nuclear extract NBSとのみ有意な相関を認めた. また cytosol, nuclear extract におけるDHT濃度とNBSの関係では cytosol では progesterone binding component を含むことまた cytosol にはSHBGも混入するためか, その相関は nuclear extract に比べより弱いものとなっていた. 従つて cytosol を用いてのR1881 receptor assay は androgen dependency 判定には適当でないと考えられ, total tissue DHT濃度がより正しく組織の androgen dependency を示すものと考えられた.nuclear extract のR1881 receptor は sephacryl S-200のゲルクロマトでは3～4S receptor と考えられ, steroid specificity study にては cytosol receptor と異なり progesterone による競合を受けずR1881>DHT>CMA>Tの順で androgen, antiandrogen による競合を認めるのみであった.
Experience-Dependent Modifications in MAP2 Phosphorylation in Rat Olfactory Bulb

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is a neuron-specific cytoskeletal protein, enriched in dendrites and cell bodies, that helps determine dendritic shape. MAP2 regulates microtubule stability in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. The present study used immunocytochemistry with phosphoepitope-specific and phosphorylation state-independent antibodies to examine experience-dependent changes in MAP2 expression during postnatal development of the olfactory bulb. Our results demonstrate that immunoreactivity reflecting total MAP2 expression reaches a maximal level by postnatal day 20 (P20). The degree of staining for phosphoindependent forms of MAP2 is relatively unaffected by blocking odorant passage to one half the nasal epithelium via unilateral naris closure, a manipulation that attenuates physiological activity in the bulb. However, olfactory restriction from P1 dramatically reduces immunoreactivity for antibody AP18, which recognizes MAP2 only when phosphorylated on Ser 136 . Quantification of staining in the granule cell layer indicates that the greatest difference (64%) between control and experimental bulbs occurs after occlusion from P1 to P30 compared with animals deprived from P1 to P10 or P1 to P20. The shift in MAP2 phosphorylation occurs even when deprivation is delayed until P30, after the sensitive period for experience-dependent changes in bulb volume. Thus, the degree of the phosphorylation shift depends on the duration but not the time of onset of naris closure. Because staining for phosphorylation-independent forms of MAP2 is unchanged by naris closure, the total amount of the protein per unit area is probably not significantly altered. However, the large reductions of AP18-immunoreactivity in the bulb after olfactory restriction suggest that there is an activity-dependent stimulation of MAP2 phosphorylation.
Joyce Cary: Getting it from the Horse’s Mouth

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

It is well known that Joyce Cary's The Horse's Mouth is possibly the most Blakean literary work in the language, at least on a straightforward definition, outside those of Blake himself. In any case, that is one way of describing a novel in which most of the thoughts of the central character — Gulley Jimson, a painter — are buttressed by quotations from the master, many of them of some length. It is not surprising to find that Blake was a formative influence, read, studied and admired long before Cary had meditated the composition of this novel or indeed had written any published novels. As he said, later in life, in a letter to the Blake Society when sickness prevented his attending one of their meetings, 'I still possess the two volumes of the Ellis edition which I used at College, heavily annotated. He is for me the only philosopher, the only great poet, who had a real understanding of the nature of the world as seen by an artist.'1 It is interesting to note that he refers to the 'two volumes of the Ellis edition', for this must mean the three-volume edition by Edwin Ellis and Cary's fellow Anglo-Irishman, W. B. Yeats. This means that Cary was familiar with a reading of Blake informed by esoteric traditions such as were bread and butter to these editors, fellow members of the Golden Dawn. And this was not even the only edition which Cary annotated: he did the same thing to Max Plowman's Everyman edition of 1927.2KeywordsModern LiteratureFellow MemberFormative InfluenceAcademic PhilosophyGreat PoetThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

hep-ph/9703254 The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov Sum-Rule in QCD

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Photoproduction spin sum-rules offer a new window on the spin structure of the nucleon that complements the information we can learn from polarised deep inelastic scattering experiments. We review the theory and present status of the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum-rule in QCD, emphasising the possible relation between the present “discrepancy ” in this sum-rule and the nucleon’s strangeness magnetic moment. In the case of an elementary electron or photon target (say at the NLC) the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum-rule provides a test for physics beyond the minimal Standard Model. 1
Martin Buber’s engagement with Hebrew as political activism

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article follows Martin Buber’s (1878–1965) engagement with Hebrew in the context of his political activism, focusing on the 1930s and 1940s. It examines Buber’s paradoxical command of the language and years-long lack of fluency, which he finally acquired upon immigrating to Palestine in 1938. It is argued that between 1933 and 1948 Buber crafted his translations and authored works in a manner that employed specific resonances of the Hebrew language to advocate his ideology. The article presents Buber’s sophisticated employment of his expert knowledge of Hebrew in the service of political activism, in Nazi Germany and British Mandate Palestine, demonstrating how Hebrew figures both in his theological-political programme and in his political activism in specific circumstances.

Influence of Age and Sex on the Amount and Rate of Learning Two Motor Tasks

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract One hundred and ninety-two subjects were tested on two large muscle motor tasks in order to determine the influence of age and sex on the amount and rate of learning. One required the maintenance of immobility of a stabilometer; the other involved climbing a free standing ladder. Learning curves of six groups of male subjects and six groups of female subjects ranging in age from 26 to 50 years were obtained on the stabilometer and the free standing ladder climb. Variance analyses showed that rate of learning was not influenced by sex over the range 26 to 50 years and that it may also be independent of age over this same range. The amount of learning was unrelated to age but sex differences in learning ability in the range 26 to 50 were dependent upon the task.
Role of Eco-adventure Tourism on Sustainable Rural Community Development in Nepal

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Eco-adventure tourism is an emerging form of tourism in Himalayan countries worldwide. Nepal being a Himalayan country is growing as a destination for eco-adventure tourism. This paper examines the role of eco-adventure tourism on sustainable community development in rural settlements along the Annapurna Sanctuary Trail (AST), Nepal through the perspectives of local inhabitants with 120 on-site surveys, five key informant interviews, six focus group discussions, in-person observations, and archival studies. The study revealed significant benefits of eco-adventure tourism on income generation, infrastructure development, cultural preservation, community empowerment, social cohesion, and environmental conservation in rural communities in Nepal. Furthermore, the study disclosed that eco-adventure tourism has resulted in sustainable community development by generating livelihood assets: natural capital, financial capital, socio-cultural capital, human capital, and physical capital, along with AST. This paper suggested key policy initiatives particularly environmental protection, effective waste disposal and management, increased engagement of marginalised and economically disadvantaged groups in eco-adventure tourism activities, cultural heritage preservation, and the integration of traditional agricultural and occupational practices into tourism development strategies to strengthen sustainable community development in Nepal.
