Laterally Excited Resonators Based on Single-Crystalline LiTaO3 Thin Film for High-Frequency Applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

High-performance acoustic resonators based on single-crystalline piezoelectric thin films have great potential in wireless communication applications. This paper presents the modeling, fabrication, and characterization of laterally excited bulk resonators (XBARs) utilizing the suspended ultra-thin (~420 nm) LiTaO3 (LT, with 42° YX-cut) film. The finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to model the LT-based XBARs precisely and to gain further insight into the physical behaviors of the acoustic waves and the loss mechanisms. In addition, the temperature response of the devices was numerically calculated, showing relatively low temperature coefficients of frequency (TCF) of ~−38 ppm/K for the primary resonant mode. The LT-based XBARs were fabricated and characterized, which presents a multi-resonant mode over a wide frequency range (0.1~10 GHz). For the primary resonance around 4.1 GHz, the fabricated devices exhibited a high-quality factor (Bode-Q) ~ 600 and piezoelectric coupling (kt2) ~ 2.84%, while the higher-harmonic showed a greater value of kt2 ~ 3.49%. To lower the resonant frequency of the resonator, the thin SiO2 film (~20 nm) was sputtered on the suspended device, which created a frequency offset between the series and shunt resonators. Finally, a ladder-type narrow band filter employing five XBARs was developed and characterized. This work effectively demonstrates the performance and application potential of micro-acoustic resonators employing high-quality LT films.
Interaction of Quercetin and Its Conjugate Quercetin 3-<i>O</i>-β-d-Glucopyranoside with Albumin as Determined by NMR Relaxation Data

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

NMR methodology has been developed in order to study phytochemical−macromolecular receptor interactions. This approach is based on the analysis of proton selective spin–lattice relaxation rate enhancements of the ligand in the presence of the macromolecule, to calculate an affinity index, [<i>A</i>]<i><sub>L</sub><sup>T</sup></i>, related to the strength of the interaction process. This index has been modified by normalization to the relaxation rate of the free ligand, in order to take into account the effects of motional anisotropies and different proton densities. The normalized affinity index, [<i>A<sub>N</sub></i>]<i><sub>L</sub><sup>T</sup></i>, isolates the contribution due to a decrease in the ligand dynamics caused by the binding with the protein. This methodology has been applied to the interaction between two flavonoids (quercetin, <b>1</b>, and quercetin 3-<i>O</i>-β-d-glucopyranoside, <b>2</b>) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The calculated values of the affinity indexes and thermodynamic equilibrium constants suggested a much stronger capacity of <b>1</b> to interact with BSA when compared with its glucosylated derivative, <b>2</b>.
Educational, Subsidy, Agricultural Development, and Fertility Change

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In this paper, the effects of continuing agricultural technical change on the allocation of resources by households between increments to family size and to schooling are examined within the context of a model of household decision-making in which education facilitates innovation. An empirical application of the model to data from India indicates, consistent with the theory, that in farm households more intensively exposed to the new technologies associated with the â€œgreen revolution, â€ fertility was significantly reduced, while the level of schooling investment was significantly increased. In contrast, and also consistent with the model, proximity of schools, in the absence of technical change, had only marginal effects on schooling and little impact on family size.

Detekce chyby měření pomocí reakčního času

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The diploma thesis deals with the detection of measurement error based on the question order using the reaction time. The major part of the theoretical chapter deals with the respondent as the source of the error. A respondent needs to proceed through a cognitive process to answer a question. Various influences affect the process and they might have an effect on the accuracy of the answer. The frequently mentioned effects are age, education and motivation of respondent. The absence of respondents' motivation might lead to a reduction of their effort to properly proceed with the cognitive process. In that case, the respondent does not dedicate the appropriate cognitive effort and time to a question in the questionnaire. That length of time, which the respondent takes to answer, is called the reaction time and it is suggested that it might be used as an indicator of the amount of cognitive effort. Based on previously executed studies, the author designed hypotheses about the change in length of the reaction time with a change of question position in a questionnaire, about the effect of respondents' characteristics on the reaction time and its shortening. The significant shortening of the reaction time on the question located closer to the end of the experimental questionnaire is used as an indicator...

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Anti-computing explores forgotten histories and contemporary forms of dissent – moments when the imposition of computational technologies, logics, techniques, imaginaries, utopias have been questioned, disputed, or refused. It also asks why these moments tend to be forgotten. What is it about computational capitalism that means we live so much in the present? What has this to do with computational logics and practices themselves?This book addresses these issues through a critical engagement with media archaeology and medium theory and by way of a series of original studies; exploring Hannah Arendt and early automation anxiety, witnessing and the database, Two Cultures from the inside out, bot fear, singularity and/as science fiction. Finally, it returns to remap long-standing concerns against new forms of dissent, hostility, and automation anxiety, producing a distant reading of contemporary hostility.At once an acute response to urgent concerns around toxic digital cultures, an accounting with media archaeology as a mode of medium theory, and a series of original and methodologically fluid case studies, this book crosses an interdisciplinary research field including cultural studies, media studies, medium studies, critical theory, literary and science fiction studies, media archaeology, medium theory, cultural history, technology history.
A pilot study: Exploring suicidal ideation among non-offending adults with sexual attraction to minors, through their online forum posts

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Summary An emerging field of research seeks to understand the experiences of non-offending adults who experience sexual attraction towards children. Research indicates that this largely hidden population can experience significant mental ill health and suicidal ideation, yet are reluctant to seek professional mental health support. Furthermore, mental ill health has been identified as a factor that can increase the likelihood of offending. This study, undertaken by a social work practitioner researcher, aimed to assist in understanding suicidality factors within this population, and to identify how statutory mental health services could be developed for this client group, thus contributing to child protection and suicide prevention agendas. A qualitative analysis was undertaken of data gathered from an online forum used by adults who have sexual attraction towards children, and are committed to non-offending. The data related to forum members’ experiences of suicidality, and key themes were identified through thematic analysis. Findings The study found that a pattern of suicidal ideation commonly appears to manifest and identified risk and protective factors that can influence suicidality. The benefits of peer support and the strengths and limitations of professional support were also identified. Applications The findings from this study contribute to an improved understanding of this client group for mental health practitioners. The findings also lay the foundation for further investigations, to inform the development of mental health services to facilitate improved outcomes for this client group, and for child protection.

Pathogenicity of Lance Nematode, Hoplolaimus seinhorsti on Red Sanders, Pterocarpus santalinus Tree Seedlings

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A pot culture experiment was conducted in a glass house to assess the pathogenicity of Hoplolaimus seinhorsti on Red Sanders, Pterocarpus santalinus in 25 × 15 cm bags filled up with steam sterilized fine river-sand mixed with red earth at the ratio of 3: 1. The freshly collected seeds were presoaked continuously in normal water by changing water daily for eight days for presowing treatment. Fifteen days after germination, the plants were infested with adults and juvenile of H. seinhorsti, of the treated seeds at the rate of 0, 100, 200, 400 and 600 larvae pot-l around the root zone. The results revealed progressive reduction in length and weight of shoot and root significantly with the increase in the level of initial inoculum. The multiplication rate of H. seinhorsti was 9.3 to 100 larvae kg/soil. There was no reduction in chlorophyll contents to 100 larvae kg/soil, but significant reduction was recorded in 600 larvae kg/soil (13.2). The stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and net photosynthetic rate were significantly reduced, when the nematode population level exceeded 200 kg/soil.
Racism as Subjectification

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Nobody likes to feel used. But everyone likes to feel useful. This paradox has long been overlooked by people examining the parameters of racism in the United States. The classic model of racism focuses on the manner in which Black Americans have been objectified — and for good reason. From chattel slavery to Jim Crow, African-Americans have faced a long and sordid history of being regarded as little more than objects — useful tools for White powerbrokers, but not independent subjects with their own desires, perspective, and rights.However, following the Civil Rights revolution, this dynamic has shifted. While racial objectification has by no means disappeared, today the prevailing sentiment in American society is one that, outwardly at least, respects the independence and inherent dignity of its minority members. However, even as they are granted the full rights of citizenship, the idea that racial minorities are objectively valuable, are necessary to the full and complete functioning of society, has faded away. While they admit that they have inherent dignity and human rights, White society nevertheless denies that members of racial minority groups have any objective use — and if their presence is lacking in political, economic, and social institutions, it is not seen as a cause for concern. This is the problem of subjectification — when people who are conceded to possess subject status are nevertheless treated as if they have no objective worth. In this essay, I articulate the concept of subjectification and show how it provides a new and fruitful perspective on the problems of race and racism in American society.
The Status of Non-Implemented EEA Law in Iceland: Lessons from the Judicial Reactions of the Supreme Court to International Law

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract In October 2007, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Court confirmed that the doctrines of direct effect and primacy could not be generated by the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement alone. Rather, the effects of non-implemented EEA provisions were to remain in the hands of the EFTA States. Hence, the relevant question is what weight should be accorded to such norms in domestic law? The Icelandic Supreme Court has yet to take a stance on the direct effect question relation to incorrectly or insufficiently transposed EEA law. The issue has, however, been addressed several times in connection with the European Convention on Human Rights, before its incorporation. In order to address the unclear legal status of EEA norms in Icelandic law, this contribution takes a closer look at the judicial attitude of the Supreme Court taken towards international law in general and the Convention in particular. The perceived differences between EEA law and the Convention have made it easy for observers to dismiss such comparison on the grounds that the two kinds of legal regime are not readily comparable. The article questions these apparent differences by pointing out that EEA law in fact shares all of the features of the Convention that led judges to enforce it in the Icelandic legal order.
A Comparison of Digital Observations of Students from Video Cameras and Aerial Drones

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

School playgrounds offer ample opportunity to observe the unstructured free-play of school-aged children; however, obtaining valid observations can be difficult to accomplish. Recent technological advances in commercially available aerial drones have the potential to contribute to behavior observation work conducted on playground settings. This study compared video recordings from an aerial drone and a tripod-mounted video camera. Behavior observations coded from the videos showed practical equivalence when analyzed using a Bayesian statistic. Results of the study are discussed and practical ethical issues are considered for future research using aerial drones to observe behavior.
Risk of death or life-threatening injury for women with children not\nsired by the abuser

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Women who are abused by their male intimate partners incur many costs, ranging in severity from fleeting physical pain to death. Previous research has linked the presence of children sired by a woman's previous partner to increased risk of woman abuse and to increased risk of femicide. The current research extends this work by securing data from samples of 111 unabused women, 111 less severely abused women, 128 more severely abused women, and 26 victims of intimate partner femicide from the Chicago Women's Health Risk Study to document an ordinal trend in the risk of experiencing more severe forms of violence for women who have children in the household sired by a previous partner. The discussion addresses two potential explanations for this trend and highlights directions for future research.
Waardenburg's Syndrome With Bilateral Cleft Lip

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

DURING recent years a number of reports1-7have shown that Waardenburg's syndrome, once believed to occur only in Dutch people, does occur in many ethnic groups. The colorful characteristics of this syndrome (white forelock, heterochromia iridum, and confluent eyebrows) confers on affected individuals a very peculiar facies. The importance of the syndrome, however, lies in another less common manifestation, deafness, and this fact prompted Waardenburg8to search for such anomalies in an institution for deaf mutes. The purpose of this report is to present a newborn with this syndrome in association with a bilateral cleft lip and deafness.

Report of a Case

The patient was a 3,900 gm (8 lb 13 ounces) Negro girl born to a 42-year-old deaf mute woman. On initial examination of the infant (color Fig 1), the positive physical findings were a white forelock, broad nasal root, marked dystopia canthorum, square face, bilateral cleft
Definition of a methodology to analyze and measure interactions inside Regional Innovation Systems.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The aim of the present thesis proposal is to define a methodology to measure the interactions among the agents involved in a System of Innovation, due to the fact that the literature agrees in a lack of measures in this respect. The conceptualization of Regional Innovation Systems (Cooke and Morgan, 1993) can be understood like an extension and adaptation arisen from the concept of National Innovation Systems defined in the works of Freeman (1987), Nelson (ed., 1993) and Lundvall (ed., 1992) and in the subsequent development of Edquist (ed., 1997). It consist of analyzing the existence of actors (institutions, clusters, universities, industries…) and regional competences, and the interactions into Innovation Networks among them, providing regional authorities with a tool to define policies to increase competitiveness. A first stream work in which relations and flows among the main agents of an Innovation System are shown, is the one made up by the works of Scherer, (1982), Pavitt (1984), Archibugi (1988), Galli and Teubal (1997), DeBresson (ed., 1996). Another is due to Andersen (1992, 1996) on Innovation Systems, using “graph theory” and simulation models (Andersen and Lundvall, 1997). Recently, some different research projects can be found in which relations established among the agents in Innovation Systems are studied (European Planning Studies, Vol. 8, Not. 4, 2000). Besides, diverse simulation models created to measure the characteristics of Innovation Systems in different environments (Simulating Self-Organizing innovation networks” -SEIN-) are also detailed. There is a growing need to elaborate indicators that allow to predict changes in the regional innovation capacity beyond those employed in the linear model. We have also noticed the need to measure other processes such as those related to institutional relations and the creation of networks, in order to evaluate innovation policies (Zenker, 2001; Landabaso, Oughton, Morgan, 2001; Saviotti, 1997; Archibugi, Howells and Michie, eds., 1999). This is supported by the fact that several policies fostering innovation have been defined, such as RIS, RTP, RITTS, etc… In this context, and due to the importance of co-operation practices within Regional Innovation Systems, the present research project tries to contribute with a model as well as an Indicator Scoreboard which helps quantify the interrelations that occur among the agents in an Innovation System.
Noncompetitive-Like Inhibition of Ethanol Elimination by Cyanamide Treatment: Pharmacokinetic Study

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The effect of acetaldehyde accumulation of ethanol elimination is of interest in medico-legal practice in Japan. We examined the pharmacokinetic mechanism of the inhibition of ethanol metabolism by cyanamide, an inhibitor of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. An ethanol solution (0.25-2.0 g/kg body weight) was injected intravenously into male rabbits with or without administration of cyanamide. Cyanamide was injected intraperitoneally (25 mg/kg body weight) to the cyanamide-treated group 2 hr before ethanol injection. Blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations were measured periodically by head-space gas chromatography. The MULTI(RUNGE) computer program was applied for the pharmacokinetic analysis. One- or two-compartment open models with Michaelis-Menten elimination kinetics were used for simultaneous multi-line fitting. The ethanol elimination rate decreased by cyanamide treatment. The border-point concentration between pseudolinear and curvilinear phases was not affected by cyanamide treatment. The estimated Vmax value decreased by cyanamide treatment, whereas the Km value did not change. Our results correspond to a noncompetitive-like inhibition of ethanol metabolism. Km is related to the border point between pseudolinear and curvilinear phases. Thus, our findings in the blood ethanol concentration-time curve suggest adequate curve-fitting. The product, or competitive, inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase by acetaldehyde had been reported in enzymological study. The pharmacokinetic manner of inhibition in vivo was different from the enzymologic mechanism in vitro. Other metabolic factors related to ethanol metabolism are thought to be more important than acetaldehyde accumulation itself.
AN EVALUATION OF THERMAL CHANGES DURING INSERTION OF SELF- DRILLING MINISCREW IMPLANTS AS MEASURED BY INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The use of miniscrew implants in orthodontics allows treatment modalities that, in the past, were only theorized. A problem with these devices is that they do not always remain reliably anchored in bone. While multiple factors contribute to their clinical stability and usefulness, maintenance of osseous vitality around the miniscrew implant is of primary importance. Purpose: This investigation measures the temperature changes in a synthetic bone block during insertion of a self-drilling miniscrew implant. Measured along the axial length of the device, these temperature changes offer qualitative and quantitative insight into the thermal changes that occur in adjacent bony tissue. As such, the temperature changes allow comparison with a known thermal threshold for bony necrosis. Materials and Methods: 3M UnitekTM TADs are inserted into two different synthetic bone samples. One sample represents the dense bone that may be found in the posterior mandible (Block A) while the other sample represents less dense bone for comparison (Block B). Rotational speed of the miniscrew implant is controlled at either 25 or 50 revolutions per minute (rpm). The temperature at the face of the synthetic bone block is
