A generalized scattering matrix analysis for cascading FSS of different periodicities

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A generalized scattering matrix for cascading frequency-selective surfaces (FSSs) of different periodicities is developed by studying the interaction of the harmonics when scattered between two screens of different periods. It is noted that the new system, formed by stacking two (or more) screens of different periods, will have a scattered spectrum which is, in general, more densely packed than the spectra of any of the individual component screens. Using this approach, one can apply the old cascading equations to generate composite systems matrices (for FSSs radomes). The procedure was carried out for a system of two stacked strip gratings with different periodicities.< >

National responsibilities for adaptation strategies: Lessons from four modelling frameworks

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Most of the literature about adaptation and vulnerability deals with decision making on a local level. This chapter examines the possible relevance of developing national or global adaptation strategies, and shorts out possible challenges. Firstly, the challenge in balancing mitigation and adaptation is discussed. Adaptation is very efficient, but substantial damages will remain even after optimal adaptation. Large regional differences in adaptation costs indicate the importance of establishing an international adaptation regime. Secondly, a closer examination of the energy system identifies innovations required to utilise the full potential for adaptation, and emphasises that successful R&D strategies may turn challenges into a competitive advantage. Thirdly, the possible market barriers to adaptation are identified. It is shown that climate change is likely to increase migration of labour and capital to urban areas. This adaptation is, however, hampered because capital, labour and natural resources are immobile to a certain extent. Finally, depending on the economic and financial vulnerability of an economy and its key actors, and the extent and frequency of disasters, countries may exhibit differential economic follow-on effects after a disaster. It shown that increased frequencies and intensities of disasters, such as floods, may have substantial fiscal and macroeconomic consequences. An identification of governments' roles in adaptation strategies is important, but is far from comprehensive when it comes to potential issues. Public goods are used as a common denominator for the identification of subjects to which governments should pay attention. A lot of research remains before an extensive overview of adaptation options, which can be characterised as public goods on a national scale, can be provided.
Redefining Public Properties and Its effects in Iranian Legal system

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Analyzing current definitions of public properties in Iranian legal system indicates that distinction between these properties from State properties cannot be sought in criteria such as devoting to public services, the ability to confiscate, style of utilization, conformity of public properties from civil and commercial laws. Also existing approaches about the issues such as “relation between public properties and State-owned companies' properties” and “rules governing public properties” are facing criticism that necessitate the redefinition of public properties. In this research, it has been endeavored to redefine the public property according to criteria of Iranian constitutional law system such as interpretation of civil law according to the Constitution, with regard to the effects of the concept of sovereignty; in such a way that, while respecting the fundamental legal-jurisprudential frameworks, the efficiency of the State in utilizing public properties shall be taken into accounts. According to this redefinition, public properties (in the general sense) unlike private ones, are properties devoted to public benefit and belonged to legal person of public law and consisting of State properties, State-owned companies properties and public properties (in the strict sense). These properties can be divided into “original or subordinate” public properties and "national or local" in the domain of State ownership. The redefinition will have many practical legal effects in the legal system.
Tracking gender in kindergarten

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study is to investigate how gender manifests itself in Norwegian kindergarten, as observed by students during three weeks' work experience. The empirical basis was collated from 40 accounts of work experience from 20 kindergartens. Student kindergarten teachers' observations of how gender is expressed in kindergarten forms the background of the analysis. The results show that staff contribute to upholding traditional gender stereotypes in kindergarten. Girls and boys are treated differently; girls and boys challenge prevailing gender structures while kindergarten staff simultaneously conform to gender stereotypes.
PROFESSIONAL ENVY AMONG DOCTORS

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Envy and jealousy are emotions or feelings that are found in all cultures of the world in all historical periods. Envy is a negative emotion which occurs when a person lacks another’s possession, or the egotistical ill-feeling caused by another’s achievement or superior quality or welfare. Envy is found in all professions, yet more frequently among doctors, especially among surgeons. It may be classified in surgical envy, hierarchical envy and patient-related envy. Professional envy in doctors makes socializing and interrelating difficult, as the peers are always seen as competitors and socializing with them is competition and not a collective effort directed to help the patient and to do good. The remedy for professional envy is self-discipline and devotion to the profession and to the patient, the pursuance of a higher life ideal, the aw
Low-velocity intra-nasal penetrating head injury: Case NA

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Instances of penetrating head injury are much rarer than their counterpart, closed-head injury. Within the penetrating variety lies an even rarer subset-'low-velocity intra-nasal penetrating injuries', i.e. penetration of the skull and brain by means of a slow-moving object passing up the nostril. Although very uncommon, the literature contains several instances of this kind of injury. One source comes from cases of ritual suicide that involve ramming a chopstick up the nose (Yamamoto, Yamada, & Sato, 1985). In addition, de Tribolet, Guignard, and Zander (1979) reported a young boy who suffered a transcranial injury when a paint brush went up his nose. Rawlinson, Russell, Coakham, and Byrnes (1988) described a man who, following a dispute about a snooker match, was held to the floor by his opponent and a snooker cue was pushed up his left nostril. This injury resulted in damage to the mammillary bodies and hypothalamus (Dusoir, Kapur, Byrnes, McKinstry, & Hoare, 1990).
A rare case of congenital thoracic arteriovenous fistula between the brachiocephalic truncus and the superior vena cava resulting in heart failure

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We present a case of a full-term 13 days old female baby administered to the PICU with extreme tachypnea with suspicion of a huge left-to-right-shunt at vascular or cardiac level. Echocardiography revealed an open arterial duct and a huge arterio-venous fistula from the proximal right subclavian artery directly into the superior vena cava. The fistula was cross-clamped, resected and both vesselstumps were oversewn. Histopathologically the fistula presented either as an artery of the elastic type or an arterialized vein, which is a typical finding in fistulas. The patient was extubated shortly after repair and referred home five days after surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is first report of a direct fistulous connection between the brachiocephalic trunk (proximal to the right subclavian artery) and the SVC with congestive heart failure and ASD.
The development of a learning-oriented reading assessment model to improve English reading ability and promote learning engagement on EFL undergraduate students

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The study was conducted 1) to examine the effects of the learning-oriented reading assessment model on EFL undergraduate students’ reading ability, 2) to investigate the effects of the learning-oriented reading assessment model on EFL undergraduate students’ reading processes, and 3) to explore the effects of the learning-oriented reading assessment model on EFL undergraduate students’ learning engagement. A mixed-method research design was employed. The study participants were 25 first-year undergraduate students at a public university who were enrolled in a foundation English course. The period of the study was 16 weeks. There were five data collection instruments including the CU-TEP, the end-of-the-unit tests, the learners’ journal, the teacher’s observation notes, and the semi-structured interview protocol. Quantitative data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, percentages, and dependent t-tests, and qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. The study findings revealed that the learning-oriented reading assessment model had an effect on the development of students’ reading ability, activated students’ reading processes, and fostered students’ learning engagement. The findings of the study supported the integration of the learning-oriented reading assessment model into an English reading classroom to promote not only language skills such as reading but also an affective factor such as learning engagement of learners.
A Study of Self-repair Markers in Conversation by Chinese English Learners

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The present study examines the differences in the use of three self-repair markers well, I mean and maybe between native speakers and Chinese English learners.The corpora of BNC (British National Corpus) and SECCL (Spoken English Corpus of Chinese Learners) are employed in the study.The research results indicate, that the Chinese English learners underuse well and I mean, but overuse maybe, compared with native speakers.The detailed analysis, supported by statistical tests, proves the role of "Pragmatic Fossilization" as an element to consider in second language learning and teaching.
Coliphages and Gastrointestinal Illness in Recreational Waters

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

BackgroundColiphages have been proposed as indicators of fecal contamination in recreational waters because they better mimic the persistence of pathogenic viruses in the environment and wastewater treatment than fecal indicator bacteria. We estimated the association between coliphages and gastrointestinal illness and compared it with the association with culturable enterococci.MethodsWe pooled data from six prospective cohort studies that enrolled coastal beachgoers in California, Alabama, and Rhode Island. Water samples were collected and gastrointestinal illness within 10 days of the beach visit was recorded. Samples were tested for enterococci and male-specific and somatic coliphages. We estimated cumulative incidence ratios (CIR) for the association between swimming in water with detectable coliphage and gastrointestinal illness when human fecal pollution was likely present, not likely present, and under all conditions combined. The reference group was unexposed swimmers. We defined continuous and threshold-based exposures (coliphage present/absent, enterococci &gt;35 vs. ≤35 CFU/100 ml).ResultsUnder all conditions combined, there was no association between gastrointestinal illness and swimming in water with detectable coliphage or enterococci. When human fecal pollution was likely present, coliphage and enterococci were associated with increased gastrointestinal illness, and there was an association between male-specific coliphage level and illness that was somewhat stronger than the association between enterococci and illness. There were no substantial differences between male-specific and somatic coliphage.ConclusionsSomatic coliphage and enterococci had similar associations with gastrointestinal illness; there was some evidence that male-specific coliphage had a stronger association with illness than enterococci in marine waters with human fecal contamination.
Conclusion

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The conclusion formulates three arguments. First, it reinserts Afro descendants into Amazonia’s history, especially in the periods immediately before and after the rubber boom. Second, it argues that natural landscapes represented a vehicle for the genesis and the evolution of an Afro-descendant identity among Pará’s black peasants. And finally, it holds that, while Article 68 sparked a process of black ethnic reconfiguration in the 1990s, the emphasis on the novelty of such identities has inadvertently obscured the vitality of black political traditions. In sum, as The People of the River shows, the political actions of the 1990s were just a new iteration of a much older tradition of black peasant politics dating at least from the era of slavery. While discourses defending the rights of citizenship for Afro-descendants were revamped to accommodate to the new era that Article 68 inaugurated, they continued to refer to environmental tropes used in previous conflicts. Black peasants continue to assert their rights as Brazilians through multiple dialogues, but their voice has always found in nature a vehicle to maintain a singular identity along the way.

Quirón Salud Madrid & Ruber Juan Bravo, Universidad Europea de Madrid, Madrid, Spain Background: Compared with basal-bolus insulin therapy (insulin glargine U100 plus insulin aspart), IDegLira has been shown to be associated with similar improvements in HbA1c, with superior weight loss and reduced hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. The present analysis evaluated the cost per patient with type 2 diabetes achieving HbA1c-focused and composite treatment targets with IDegLira and insulin glargine U100 plus insulin aspart (≤4 times daily). Methods: The proportions of patients achieving treatment targets were obtained from the treat-to-target, non-inferiority DUAL VII study (NCT02420262). The annual cost per patient achieving target (cost of control) was analyzed from a US healthcare payer perspective. The annual cost of control was assessed for eight prespecified endpoints and four post-hoc endpoints. Results: The number needed to treat to bring one patient to targets of HbA1c <7.0% and HbA1c ≤6.5% was similar with IDegLira and insulin glargine U100 plus insulin aspart. However, when weight gain and/or hypoglycemia were included, the number needed to treat was lower with IDegLira. IDegLira and insulin glargine U100 plus insulin aspart had similar costs of control for HbA1c <7.0%. However, cost of control values were substantially lower with IDegLira when the more stringent target of HbA1c ≤6.5% was used, and when patient-centered outcomes of hypoglycemia risk and impact on weight were included. Conclusion: IDegLira was shown to be a cost-effective treatment vs insulin glargine U100 plus insulin aspart for patients with type 2 diabetes not achieving glycemic targets on basal insulin in the USA.

Low Latency of Shift Register Design using Quantum Dot Cellular Automata

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) offer an alternative to CMOS technology for designing sequential circuits. The paper focuses on optimizing D flip-flops and JK flip-flops to design a serial in serial out shift register. The QCA-based circuits are used in the computational Nano hardware to present computations at ultra-high speed. A systematic approach has been utilized to design the serial-in-serial-out shift register using JK flip-flop and D flip-flop. These flip-flops were initially designed with lower complexity which is the dominant factor for designing any complex sequential circuit. This design leverages the unique properties of QCA, like high density and low power consumption, to achieve efficient data shifting. The QCA based designs have been validated and subjected to simulation using the QCA Designer tool ver. 2.0.3.
COGNITIVE MODELING COGNITIVE MODELING COGNITIVE MODELING — DIAGRAMATIC REASONING Formalizing Artistic Techniques and Scientific Visualization for Painted Renditions of Complex Information Spaces

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper describes a new method for visualiz-ing complex information spaces as painted images. Scientific visualization converts data into pictures that allow viewers to “see ” trends, relationships, and patterns. We introduce a formal definition of the correspondence between traditional visualiza-tion techniques and painterly styles from the Im-pressionist art movement. This correspondence al-lows us to apply perceptual guidelines from visu-alization to control the presentation of information in a computer-generated painting. The result is an image that is visually engaging, but that also allows viewers to rapidly and accurately explore and ana-lyze the underlying data values. We conclude by applying our technique to a collection of environ-mental and weather readings, to demonstrate its vi-ability in a practical, real-world visualization envi-ronment. 1
Modulation of plant autophagy during pathogen attack

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In plants, the highly conserved catabolic process of autophagy has long been known as a means of maintaining cellular homeostasis and coping with abiotic stress conditions. Accumulating evidence has linked autophagy to immunity against invading pathogens, regulating plant cell death, and antimicrobial defences. In turn, it appears that phytopathogens have evolved ways not only to evade autophagic clearance but also to modulate and co-opt autophagy for their own benefit. In this review, we summarize and discuss the emerging discoveries concerning how pathogens modulate both host and self-autophagy machineries to colonize their host plants, delving into the arms race that determines the fate of interorganismal interaction.
