On the mathematical foundations of the generalized Levinson algorithm

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The paper is concerned with the generalized Levinson algorithm based on the displacement rank concept. It turns out that this algorithm for inverting an arbitrary positive definite matrix can be approached from two different mathematical viewpoints : the theory of Σ-lossless transfer functions on the one hand and the matrix version of the standard Levinson algorithm applied to an appropriate block-Toeplitz embedding of the given matrix on the other hand.
Neonatal Supplemental Oxygen Exposure Promotes the Development of Metabolic Disease in Adult Rats

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Premature infants frequently require supplemental oxygen to sustain life, but little is known about how supplemental oxygen administered during the critical developmental window after birth increases the risk of age‐related disease, including obesity and diabetes. We hypothesized that neonatal rats exposed to supplemental oxygen (OXY) would have impaired glucose tolerance and that they would develop a diabetes phenotype earlier than controls (CON), when offered a high fat diet. We used an established rat model of neonatal oxygen exposure (80% O 2 for 8–14 days) and glucose tolerance was evaluated 14 days and 12 months post‐natally. To evaluate glucose tolerance, baseline blood glucose was measured after an overnight fast, followed by an intraperitoneal injection of concentrated glucose. Blood glucose was then measured 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes post‐injection. In a second experiment, two month old OXY and CON rats were randomly assigned to an animal‐based fat diet (60% of calories from fat), or standard, low fat diet for ten weeks. At the beginning of the study and each subsequent week, glucose tolerance was measured. At 14 days and 12 months, OXY rats had higher blood glucose at 15 and 30 minutes compared to CON rats. OXY rats fed a high fat diet developed frank glucose intolerance after 4 weeks. Ten weeks of high fat diet had minimal effect on glucose tolerance in CON rats. Taken together, these data suggest that supplemental oxygen during the neonatal period may pre‐dispose the premature infant to the development of metabolic disease later in life.

Preliminary Design of the Support Structure for a Rotating Carbon-Ion Transfer Line for Medical Applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The development of new bent superconducting magnets together with the optimization of the support structure open the way to a considerable reduction in the weight and complexity of rotating gantries for medical applications. The magnets, which define the transfer line to deliver carbon ions to the patients from different angles, are supported by a rotating structure that should be as rigid and as lightweight as possible. Relative displacements of the magnets due to deformations cause incorrect beam position and consequent errors in hitting the target tissues. This paper describes a possible rotating structure which is considerably lighter than the previous designs. A method to compensate part of the deformation by complementary rotations of the driving motor is proposed. The influence of the construction tolerances and deformations of the supports is also analyzed and alignment and adjustment possibilities are discussed.
(methylenedioxy)diisophthalato]dizinc] dimethylformamide monosolvate]

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

R factor = 0.026; wR factor = 0.064; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.1. In the crystal structure of the title coordination polymer, {[Zn2(C17H8O10)(C3H7NO)2] C3H7NO}n, the molecular building block (MBB), viz. {Zn2(CO2)4(C3H7NO)2}, comprises two zinc atoms, each bridged by three carboxylate groups. These two Zn atoms exhibit different coordination environments: a distorted coordination intermediate between trigonal–pyramidal, and square–pyramidal formed by the two coordinated dimethylformamide molecules and three carboxylate groups, and a distorted tetrahedral coordination defined by carboxylate groups of which three are bidentate bridging and the fourth is a monodentate ligand. Thus, each ligand connects four MBBs, forming the three-dimensional polymer.

Innocence and Consequentialism: Inconsistency, Equivocation and Contradiction in the Philosophy of Peter Singer

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The dictum of Publilius Syrus expresses a central idea of traditional morality. When we say an action is gravely wrong because it betrays the innocent, we assume that morality addresses, at least in part, questions of justice, and further that these questions of justice are inextricably linked with the concept of innocence. The concept of innocence however is as broad as it is multifaceted. An agent may be innocent (of an act, say) or she may be an innocent (a child, perhaps). Condemning an innocent human being is ordinarily considered an evil and abusing or harming the innocent is regarded as a disgraceful thing. Innocence is often seen as finding its opposite in guilt, so that the term necessarily involves a determination of an agent's liability. But in fact the concept extends far beyond questions of liability and culpability into realms that are not ordinarily discussed by contemporary moral philosophers.
CONCEPT OF CO-PRODUCTION AND THE URBAN POOR'S HOUSING CHALLENGE IN BANGLADESH

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Co-production is more than an idea; it is a gathering of thoughts collaborating to find common results. Co-production within the community becomes successful when the community people lead their processes themselves. Through this theme, the communities can enhance their capacity to respond constructively to future problems. Besides, community people, the government, and other organizations play important roles in regulating, financing, and managing the whole process, being potential actors. Slowly, a transformation is taking place in the relationships between the stakeholders—that is, being equal partners in development. This type of relationship strengthens the sustainability of community development initiatives. In some cases, the application of co-production at the grassroots for a better life has encountered numerous challenges limiting participation at various levels. Our study aims at exploring the concept of co-production in housing scenarios, identifying the outcomes of this concept by indicating active roles encountering diverse ways that actors and participants may face challenges to make it successful in the housing process. This paper also focuses on finding out the benefits and drawbacks of co-production in housing and the effectiveness of management policies in the context of Bangladesh. For achieving these objectives, an effective literature review of the existing knowledge on this theme of “Co-Production” has been followed as the study methodology. The results from this study depict that co-production within a community can be an alternative approach to addressing the housing issues of the underprivileged community of society. Although having the challenges of socio-economic and political dynamics, a flexible participatory approach to co-production can be successful in Bangladesh, with an appropriate management policy undertaken by the stakeholders.

Cardiac toxicity of aerosol propellants

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

To the Editor.—

Taylor and Harris1recently reported experiments which they interpreted as demonstrating that the fluorocarbon propellants used in asthma inhalers produced a toxic effect on the heart of anesthetized mice, which could explain sudden deaths in asthmatics and which casts doubt on the safety of other aerosol products. We believe that their findings may be explained on a physiologic basis which is related to the asphyxia rather than a specific chemical cardiotoxicity, and we believe that deductions made in the paper about the safety of other aerosol products therefore are open to question. The "cardiac toxicity" of the propellants was demonstrated by Taylor and Harris in the following manner. Mice anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium were exposed to the inhalation of an unknown but presumably very high concentration of the propellants for a few seconds. Following this, their heads were enclosed in a tightly fitting plastic bag. These
ULTRASONOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ABDOMINAL ESOPHAGUS AND CARDIA IN DOGS

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Differential diagnoses for regurgitation and vomiting in dogs include diseases of the gastroesophageal junction. The purpose of this cross‐sectional study was to describe ultrasonographic characteristics of the abdominal esophagus and gastric cardia in normal dogs and dogs with clinical disease involving this region. A total of 126 dogs with no clinical signs of gastrointestinal disease and six dogs with clinical diseases involving the gastroesophageal junction were included. For seven euthanized dogs, ultrasonographic features were also compared with gross pathology and histopathology. Cardial and abdominal esophageal wall thicknesses were measured ultrasonographically for all normal dogs and effects of weight, sex, age, and stomach filling were tested. Five layers could be identified in normal esophageal and cardial walls. The inner esophageal layer was echogenic, corresponding to the cornified mucosa and glandular portion of the submucosa. The cardia was characterized by a thick muscularis, and a transitional zone between echogenic esophageal and hypoechoic gastric mucosal layers. Mean (±SD) cardial wall thicknesses for normal dogs were 7.6 mm (±1.6), 9.7 mm (±1.8), 10.8 mm (±1.6), 13.3 mm (±2.5) for dogs in the <10 kg, 10–19.9 kg, 20–29.9 kg and ≥30 kg weight groups, respectively. Mean (±SD) esophageal wall thicknesses were: 4.1 mm (±0.6), 5.1 mm (±1.3), 5.6 mm (±1), and 6.4 mm (±1.1) for the same weight groups, respectively. Measurements of wall thickness were significantly correlated with dog weight group. Ultrasonography assisted diagnosis in all six clinically affected dogs. Findings supported the use of transabdominal ultrasonography as a diagnostic test for dogs with suspected gastroesophageal disease.
Assessing the development of airport concession models and financing in times of a financial crisis

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The market for airport transactions presents a mixed picture. While numerous recent transactions have been cancelled, postponed or closed on terms and conditions far less favourable to concession grantors or sellers than those of previous years, other recent transactions have been successfully completed, important landmark transactions have achieved significant progress and roadblocks are being removed for investors. At the same time, investors, as well as their lenders, are taking a far more conservative approach when evaluating project and finance risks. What kind of price structures contribute to the sustainability of the project? How do mitigants against extraordinary project risks enhance bankability? What tools are available to manage financing shortfall events? How can direct agreements help? And why should a concession agreement contain fair terms and conditions that balance the interests of the parties involved in case of an early termination event? The tools to procure bankability do not need to be reinvented, but they were not always implemented during the times of an overheated market. This paper holds that the market will return as traffic picks up again, but that a more conservative investment and financing approach with more balanced concession agreements will dominate the market for the near and medium future.

The fluctuation of peatland water table at Tumbang Nusa, Central Kalimantan

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Burnt peatland restoration by planting needs stable hydrological condition for the plant’s growth. Water table fluctuation becoming a challenge in the planting effort on degraded peatland. This research aims to determine the water table on degraded peatland and over burnt peat at Tumbang Nusa Forest for Specific Purposes, Pulang Pisau District, Central Kalimantan Province. The data was analyzed to determine the relationship between precipitation characteristics, water table and land elevation. Water table observation was carried out on several fires starting 1997, 2003, 2006 and 2009. We observed 17 points of water table of the total length of 4 km and 250 m distance between points, started from the river edge up to secondary forests. The level of vegetation cover and condition varied from woody plants with low density and open crown up to woody plants with good canopy cover. The result showed that the water table was closely related with the elevation and distance from canal. The fluctuation was closely related with precipitation. Nevertheless, the rainfall did not directly relate but there was a certain interlude period so that the water table was rising or decreasing. This condition shall be considered in the land rehabilitation by planning the right plant in the right time so that the plants can reach optimum growth
Los misterios de Madrid de Antonio Muñoz Molina : parodia y novela por entregas.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Spanish contemporary writer Antonio Munoz Molina is generally considered to be a representative of Postmodernism, a name given to a movement in contemporary cultural forms that displays certain common characteristics. The purpose of this study is to approach one of Munoz Molina's most recent novels, Los misterios de Madrid, from the point of view of Postmodernist theories in order to determine which, if any, of the essential characteristics of the literary movement are present in the book. In order to do so, we have turned to the valuable studies of Fredric Jameson, "Postmodernism, or The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" and The Seeds of Time, as well as those of Linda Hutcheon, A Poetics of Postmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction and A Theory of Parody: The Teachings of Twentieth Century Art Forms. Through the study of the characteristics of Postmodernism that are present in Los misterios de Madrid and, more specifically, through the study of one of the most important characteristics to this thesis, that of postmodern parody, we arrive at the conclusion that, although the novel may indeed be considered representative of the Postmodern period, it is by no means exclusively so.
Evaluation of Anti-Hyperlipidemic Activity of Extracted Alpha-Linlenic Acid from natural Linum usitatissimum compared with Atorvastatin in high fat diet induced Rats.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Linum Usitatissimum (LU) has a lipid-lowering action in both normal and diabetic animals.Because OS leaves are rich in oil, the present study was conducted to explain the antihyperlipidemic and organ-protective effect of LU fixed oil in rats fed with a high fat (HF) diet.LU fixed oil was extracted by hexane and the fatty acids composition identified by GC-MS.Four groups of male Wistar rats included a normal control group, a high fat fed-diet (HF) group, a HF group treated with LU fixed oil, and a HF group treated with a reference drug Atorvastatin.The results show that LU fixed oil contains five kinds of fatty acids, of which alpha-linolenic acid was the major fatty acid.LU fixed oil depressed high serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C, and AI, whereas no significant effect on HDL-C was observed.LU fixed oil also suppressed high levels of liver cholesterol and triglyceride with no significant effect on both lipids in feces.In addition, LU fixed oil normalized the high serum levels of LDH and CK-MB but no significant effect on high serum levels of ALT, AST, and ALP was obtained.We conclude that treatment with LU fixed oil during the last three weeks of HF diet feeding decreased the high serum lipid profile and expressed antiartherogenic and cardioprotective actions against hyperlipidemia.The anti-hyperlipidemic action of OS fixed oil was mainly resulted from the suppression of liver lipid synthesis.Linolenic acid and linoleic acid contained in LU fixed oil were possibly responsible for both lipid-lowering and cardiac protective action against hyperlipidemia.
Testing for Seasonal Integration and Cointegration: An Expository Note withEmpirical Application to KLSE Stock Price Data

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the seasonal properties of the sectoral stock price series
at the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) for the period 1978:1 to 1992:3. Our results suggest
that the stock price indices at the KLSE exhibit seasonal unit roots, not only at the zero frequency,
but in most cases at the biannual frequency. The finding that stock price indices exhibit seasonal
integration has important implications for seasonal cointegration. However, our seasonal
cointegration test results suggest that sectoral stock price indices at the KLSE are not seasonally
cointegrated. These results imply that the informationally efficient stock market hypothesis
cannot be rejected for the KLSE.
Factors Affecting Mammary Gland Cell Numbers

The number of milk-synthesizing cells is one of the basic elements that limit milk production.For example, estimates of the correlation coefficient between total mammary cell numbers and milk production range between 0.50 and 0.85 (13, 50).In addition to the milk-producing epithelial cells other cells present in the mammary gland, i.e., leukocytes, fibroblasts, and lipid connective tissue cells, complicate our estimates of mammary cell numbers.Nonetheless,
Innovation attributes and managers' decisions about the adoption of innovations in organizations: A meta-analytical review

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The adoption of innovations has emerged as one of the dominant research topic in the management of innovations in organizations, though investigations often yield mixed results. To help managers and researchers improve the effectiveness of their efforts, the authors employed meta-analysis integrated by structural equation modeling to analyze the associations between the attributes of innovations, behavioral preferences of managers and organizations' innovation adoption decisions in a mediated-moderated framework. Our findings offer evidences that attributes of innovations influence behavioral preferences of managers and, in turn, adoption decisions in organizations. We also observe that the context in which the adoption decision takes place and the research settings employed by scholars matter. Finally, the theoretical contribution and practical implications of our meta-analytical results are discussed. Keywords: Attributes of innovations, Managers' behavioral preferences, Organizations' innovation adoption decisions, Meta-analysis, Mediation-moderation

Pellet fuelling of ELMy H mode discharges on ASDEX Upgrade

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Efforts have been made to develop scenarios allowing more flexible plasma density control by injecting cryogenic solid hydrogen pellets. While the injection of pellets during ohmic discharges was found to be most efficient and also improves the plasma performance, an increase in the auxiliary heating power causes a deterioration of the pellet fuelling efficiency. A further strong reduction of the pellet fuelling efficiency by an additional process was observed for the more reactor relevant conditions of shallow particle deposition during H mode phases. With injection during type I ELMy H mode phases, each pellet was found to trigger the release of an ELM and therefore cause particle losses mainly from the edge region. In the type I ELMy H mode, only sufficient pellet penetration allowed noticeable, persistent particle deposition in the plasma by the pellets. Applying adequate pellet injection conditions and favourable scenarios using combined pellet/gas puff refuelling, significant density ramp-up to densities exceeding the empirical Greenwald limit by up to a factor of two was achieved even for strongly heated H mode plasmas
