A Regional Perspective on the Impact of the Privatisation of the UK Public Industrial Property Stock

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

There has been a long tradition, dating back to the 1930s, of promoting regional development in the assisted areas of the United Kingdom through the provision of industrial units. At the end of the 1980s the government decided that the time was then ripe to sell off the publicly owned portfolio of industrial and commercial property, which was predominantly to be found in the peripheral regions of the United Kingdom. The author charts the privatisation process in England and Scotland. It had been envisaged that the sale would lead to higher rents and invigorate private sector investment. More than a decade on, the author seeks to assess whether this forecast/hypothesis proved correct. The Scottish experience is used as a case study of the UK privatisation programme operating in a peripheral region, and the impact is assessed at two levels: on the Scottish market as a whole; and in the postprivatisation experience of the former publicly owned industrial estates. The original forecasts of the Conservative government prove to be naïve. No evidence of a wide-scale rise in rents, or speculative development, was found, nor has there been an increase in institutional investment in industrial property; the public sector has begun to intervene again—albeit in a different guise.
Power Saving Approaches in 2-hop Relaying Cellular Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper discusses various approaches to save power in relay-based cellular networks. We introduce an optimization method based on the Hungarian assignment problem to globally minimize the power-based allocation of relays. We compare this approach with the greedy approach of choosing a relay. We introduce another approach based on the concept of intelligent relays. Here, based on the expected power values of mobiles at the relay's location, the relay chooses to carry call for a mobile. We show that this approach introduces less intra-cell interference
Integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Teacher Education Programs in Pakistan

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The research was funded and supervised by USAID teacher Education project for Pakistan. It was the first time that the Government of Pakistan realized the importance of ICTs and reflected its integration in teacher education programs as policy matter in the National Education Policy 2009. The course “ICTs in Education” was implemented for ADE/B. Ed (E) classes in 2010-11 for the first time. In this situation, it was vital to explore how successfully this course was implemented and ICTs were integrated in the pioneer institutions, so as to have baseline information for further improvement in the implementation process.
Marcan Priority Without Q: Explorations in the Farrer Hypothesis Edited by John C.Poirier and JeffreyPeterson. Library of New Testament Studies, 455. London: Bloomsbury, 2015 Pp. xiv + 272. Cloth, $110.00.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This stimulating volume features eleven essays foregrounding the merit of the Farrer Hypothesis (FH) as a solution to the Synoptic Problem. By way of introduction, Poirier enumerates several developments within scholarship that strengthen the credibility of FH's tenet that Luke used Matthew's Gospel, including a disenchantment with form criticism, an acceptance of a second-century date for Luke's composition, and an appreciation for Luke's literary adeptness. The remaining essays either propose new frameworks to increase the plausibility of Luke's use of Matthew or raise objections that call the existence of Q into question (especially as formulated by prominent Two-Document Hypothesis [2DH] proponents). Among the many highlights: H. Gorman appeals to the progymnasmata as a way of making sense of Luke's rearrangement of Matthean material; M. Goodacre argues that the increase in extensive verbatim agreements between Matthew and Luke in the double tradition compared to the triple tradition is most expediently explained by Luke's use of Matthew; and A. Abakuks offers a statistical analysis suggesting that Matthew's and Luke's redactions of Mark were not independent. The volume closes with a judicious and constructive response from longtime 2DH advocate Kloppenborg, whose evaluation is remarkably positive (short of endorsing FH). All of the essays in this book contribute to increasing the sophistication of our conceptions of the Synoptic Problem. For this reason, Marcan Priority without Q will be a valuable resource for supporters of any hypothesis—FH, 2DH, or otherwise.
New Source of the j 2 Gene Governing Jointless Pedicel in Tomato

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A multiple-flowered, jointless pedicel, single plant appeared in the tomato variety 146 in 1958. The gene governing the jointless pedicel character was found to be identical with the j 2 gene found in a tomato strain from the Galapagos Islands. The character is considered to be a mutant and of potential value in the development of mechanically harvestable tomatoes.

Values and speculations: The stock exchange paradigm

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Some time before deconstruction theoretically destabilized the founding oppositions of Western metaphysics, Pierre‐Joseph Proudhon noted their everyday, practical unravelling in the Bourse Stock Exchange in nineteenth‐century Paris. In his Broker's Handbook (1857), Proudhon considered the profound implications of the speculative model of value introduced by the stock market and recommended that modern reformers and revolutionaries seek their instruction there. The mobilization of value exemplified in the operations of the Bourse propelled capitalism through the twentieth century towards its present global dominance, bringing in its train all the features of supermodernity that currently confound the thinking of cultural values today. For it is not just economic questions that are posed from within the logic of the financial (in)security of the mobile values of share prices, but also questions of ethics, aesthetics, semantics and metaphysics. This essay historicizes and interrogates the new paradigm of value emanating from ‘the temple of speculation’ and attempts to think through its global, cultural and economic effects beyond the mystifications that it engenders.
Simulation and implementation of spiral conical radiator

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Conical radiators are difficult to analyze and provide exact analytical equations for their parameters such as gain, bandwidth, and input impedance. On the other hand using modern apparatus in conjunction with available software it is easier to actually implement and characterize their performances from the simulation results. This is the approach implied for this article. We have designed and implemented several spiral conical radiators either constructed analytical equations for their parameters or modified the existing equations to describe their behavior. A five turn spiral radiator shows 60deg 3db beam width, with a gain of 5 dB, and an input impedance of 1.2times characteristic impedance of the feed line.
Production characteristics of small grains depending on the application of mineral fertilizers with high content of phosphorus and potassium

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the application of mineral fertilizers with a high content of phosphorus and potassium on the productive characteristics of some small grains grown on pseudogley soils. The research was carried out in the vicinity of Kraljevo during the period 2011/2013. The experiment included wheat, winter barley and triticale and 3 variants of fertilizers (K ? control; V1 ? N80 P60 K60; V2 ? N80 P80 K80 and V3 ? N80 P100 K100). In addition to grain yield, absolute mass and hectoliter mass were observed. The obtained results were analyzed using the analysis of variance. There were no significant differences in yield, absolute mass and hectoliter mass of the grain between small grains. The use of fertilizers with an increased content of phosphorus and potassium led to a significant increase in grain yield, absolute mass and hectoliter mass of small grains compared to control. Among the variants V1 and V2, and V2 and V3 variants, there were no statistically significant differences in the absolute mass and hectoliter mass of the grain. The average values of grain yield of small grains ranged from 1510 kg ha-1 in the control variant up to 3209 kg ha-1 in the variant with the highest dose of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Significant differences in grain yield were observed between the variants V1 and V2, as well as between the variants V2 and V3. The application of only mineral fertilizers on acid soils leads to relatively low yields.
Anti-inflammatory drugs and Alzheimer's disease

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

Background

Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing has rich potential for genomic epidemiology and public health investigations of bacterial pathogens, particularly in low-resource settings and at the point of care, due to its portability and affordability. However, low base-call accuracy has limited the reliability of ONT data for critical tasks such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence gene detection and typing, serotype prediction and cluster identification. Thus, Illumina sequencing remains the standard for genomic surveillance despite higher capital and running costs.

Methods

We tested the accuracy of ONT-only assemblies for common applied bacterial genomics tasks (genotyping and cluster detection, implemented via Kleborate, Kaptive and Pathogenwatch), using data from 54 unique Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. ONT reads generated via MinION with R9.4 flowcells were basecalled using three alternative models (Fast, High-accuracy (HAC) and Super-accuracy (SUP), available within ONT’s Guppy software), assembled with Flye and polished using Medaka. Accuracy of typing using ONT-only assemblies was compared with that of Illumina-only and hybrid ONT+Illumina assemblies, constructed from the same isolates as reference standards.

Results

The most resource-intensive ONT-assembly approach (SUP basecalling, with or without Medaka polishing) performed best, yielding reliable capsule (K) type calls for all strains (100% exact or best matching locus), reliable multi-locus sequence type (MLST) assignment (98.3% exact match or single-locus variants), and good detection of acquired AMR genes and mutations (88% – 100% correct identification across the various drug classes). Distance-based trees generated from SUP+Medaka assemblies accurately reflected overall genetic relationships between isolates; however, the definition of outbreak clusters from ONT-only assemblies was problematic. HAC basecalling + Medaka polishing performed similarly to SUP basecalling without polishing, and polishing introduced errors into HAC- or Fast-basecalled assemblies. Therefore, we recommend investing compute resources into basecalling (SUP model) over polishing, where compute resources and/or time are limiting.

Conclusions

Overall, our results show that MLST, K type and AMR determinants can be reliably identified with ONT-only data. However, cluster detection remains challenging with this technology.
Peak doubling in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of certain phosphorus esters

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Doubling of nuclear magnetic resonances of certain mixed phosphorus esters has been observed and has been attributed to the presence of rotational conformers occupying "up" and "down" orientations of the ester moieties. Treatment of these esters with uranyl nitrate results in the expected resonances, although chemically shifted.This is believed to be due to the "freezing" of rotational conformers by complex formation. Dependence of the observed resonances upon temperature supports this hypothesis. There appears to be some steric control over the relative population of the contributing conformers.
Pharmacokinetics of Sulfisoxazole Solid Dispersions in Rabbis

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

AbstractThe approach of solid dispersion was found useful for optimizing the pharmacokinetics of sulfisoxazole in Rabbits. This was illustrated on the example of bicomponent solid dispersions containing water-soluble, urea and pvp 25000, and water insoluble, DCA and GMS, carriers. The effect of the type and concentration of the inert carrier was investigated and found to influence the pharmacokinetic parameters studied to different extents. The multicomponent (Tri and quaternary) solid dispersions implied different effects on the pharmacokinetics of sulfisoxazole according to the nature and the proportion of the carrier used. Dispersing sulfisoxazole in the solid state in innert carriers such as GMS, DCA, urea and PVP was shown to influence significantly the dissolution rate of the drug to different extents. Dispersion of sulfisoxazole in soluble carriers resulted in significant enhancement of the dissolution rate whatever the equipment used. Correlation of sulfisoxazole in-vitro dissolution rate parameters, D.E. and t75%, to the pharmacokinetic parameters revealed no or very poor correlation.However, the t75% parameter by the USP disintegration tester may be considered to exhibit the most reasonable correlation to the pharmacokinetic parameter Ke.
A novel Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making methodology based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS (IFT) is an effective decision making technique for fuzziness nature of linguistic assessments. This paper proposes a novel methodology for Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The proposed methodology is based on utilizing the hesitancy degree to determine decision makers' weights distinctively and, a non-linear programming (NLP) model additionally is formed for assigning weights to the related criteria in fuzzy environment. The developed approach is precise and practical for solving MCDM problems. Finally, to show the applicability of the proposed method, an illustrative example is used at the end of this paper.
Here and Now: Towards an Experiential Archaeological Fieldwork

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article is not about the archaeological past per se: It is about the archaeological presence, the here and the now and the experiential aspects of archaeological fieldwork. It introduces the concept of an 'experiential archaeological fieldwork' as a means to provoke bodily sensory awareness and the embodiment of the experienced (archaeological) landscape through a vivid sensorial experimentation. At the same time, the experiential fieldwork aspires to re-negotiate the ontology of the archaeological field project, as a social, intellectual, and physical act. The project I present here was practiced in the mountainous landscapes of Lake Plastiras (central Greece), as part of the Neolithic project in the area.
Walking The Thin Line Between War and Peace: Hybrid Threats and the Dutch Security Culture between 2009 and 2019

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Hybrid tactics of war considerably impact the feeling and understanding of the individual, national and international security. This thesis identifies how the Netherlands had to adapt to these hybrid tactics of war by researching how a hybrid security culture concerning hybrid warfare took shape in the Netherlands between 2009 and 2019. To understand if the growing attention towards hybrid conflict did cause a change in the ways of doing security in the Netherlands, this research identifies the core characteristics of the Dutch security culture. The research shows how the perception of threats presented by Dutch media coverage and knowledge institutes, can be divided into three waves. These three waves represented the contemporary state of mind regarding hybrid threats. Securitization theory helps in explaining how the third wave marked the beginning of the centrality of the audience.\nMary Kaldor’s framework of four ideal types of security cultures is tested against the Dutch situation. Interviews with Dutch security officers and examination of official announcements made by the House of Representatives show how the Netherlands adhere to a combination of a ‘geo-political’ security culture and a ‘liberal peace’ security culture. This outcome goes against Kaldor’s assumption of how hybrid warfare fits in a mixture of ‘geo-political’ and ‘new wars’ security cultures. The convergence of the security cultures ‘liberal peace’ and ‘geo-politics’ in the Dutch case, shows that the way of dealing with hybrid warfare, can be much more diverse than is stated in the security culture literature presented by Kaldor. Moreover, the Dutch case highlights new continuities concerning Cold War practices.

Sound insertion loss modelling for spark arrestors using two-port theory with experimental verification

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Spark Arrestor plays critical role in impeding the embers emission from diesel engines as it arrests and traps the embers and the sparks inside it.Spark Arrestors have a significant impact upon the acoustic performance of diesel engines.Sound Insertion loss is an important parameter for evaluating the overall sound level emitted from diesel engine generators.In this paper the effect of new designed centrifugal trapping type was acoustically modeled and experimentally verified.The acoustics design and simulations were performed using two-port theory where, the Spark Arrestor models are limited to the plane wave range.These models were implemented in SIDLAB software for simulating the propagation of low frequency sound and air flow in ducts.The Spark Arrestor model was tested on a real diesel engine generator of 38 KWm complying with Standard ISO 8528-10:1998(E).The insertion loss simulation model matched the measurement at full engine load at 1500 rpm.
Impact of fuel composition on emissions and performance of GTL kerosene blends in a Cessna Citation II

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

International jet fuel specifications permit up to 50% volume Fischer-Tropsch synthetic paraffinic kerosines (FT-SPKs), such as Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) Kerosine, in Jet A-1. Higher SPK-content fuels could, however, produce desirable fuels: lower density, higher SPK-content fuels may have benefits for Payload range (P/R) performance and their chemistry should improve many engine emissions. Two sets of GTL-containing Jet A-1s, with 0-50% GTL, have been tested both in the laboratory and in a Cessna Citation II, with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofan engines. Smoke Point and lower heating values (LHVs) confirm previous work that showed GTL improving performances to above and/or beyond typical Jet A-1 levels. Smoke points are sensitive to the type of aromatics in the fuel while LHVs are more affected by the total aromatics levels. Ground tests (with performance, post test inspections and emissions measurements) have been run. Specifically, one engine has been run according to ICAO power settings with the addition of cruise settings, and probes behind the engine have captured gaseous and particulate emissions. Under all conditions, fuel flow rates are lower than expected; under cruise conditions there is about a 5% reduction for 50% blends. Filters that remove particulates in gaseous emissions lines clearly indicate a progressive improvement with increasing GTL/decreasing total aromatics content. At all engine settings, the particle diameter, emission index in terms of particle number and emission index in terms of particle mass all decrease significantly with GTL content. For gaseous emissions, emissions indices for SO2, NO, NO2, NOx (NO+NO2) and CO have been tracked for each engine setting. SO2 reductions are seen clearly for the higher sulphur base fuel blends, consistent with the reduction in fuel sulphur content. There is a very small reduction of NOx at higher power settings and a 5-10% reduction on CO emissions for 50% GTL at most engine conditions.
Futurist Ghosts

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

One of the most fascinating aspects of Italian Futurism is precisely the disenchanted contamination of disparate literary ingredients with the explicit intention of exposing and distorting their cultural matrices. If Christian morality had protected humanity against the excesses of sensuality, 'Futurist morality will protect man against the inevitable decay produced by slowness, memory, analysis, rest, and habit'. The homage to Lombroso is suggestive of the positivist eye through which the Futurists were acknowledging the existence of 'ghosts'. The futurist ghosts evoked are 'electric' in the way in which electricity revealed a new way to explore and embody the Unknown. If 'ghostly', in the Gothic, Romantic and then Decadent sense of 'spectral', as a quality that might instil fear, terror, disgust and occasionally consolatory longing in a sympathetic reader, does not seem immediately pertinent to the poetic temper of the Futurist movement, 'ghosts' are.
