Principles of Roman architecture

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The architects of ancient Rome developed a vibrant and enduring tradition, inspiring those who followed in their profession even to the present day. This original book is the first to explore their approach to design. Mark Wilson Jones draws on both new archaeological discoveries and his own analyzes of the monuments to reveal how Roman architects went about the creative process. Wilson Jones begins by outlining the state of knowledge regarding Roman architects, Vitruvius in particular, as well as the dynamics of design as illuminated by surviving architectural drawings and models. Then, in a series of thematic chapters dedicated to the plan, the elevation, and the principal distributive element of Roman buildings, the Corinthian column, he focuses on underlying patterns of design that transcend function and typology. The success of Roman architecture is shown to rest on a robust yet subtle synthesis of theory, beauty, content, and practicality. At the same time, it maintains a vital equilibrium between the apparently conflicting goals of rule and variety. The next part of the book focuses on two singularly enigmatic monuments, Trajan's Column and the Pantheon, to illustrate how architects might bend principles to circumstance. The author resolves long-standing controversies over their conception, showing how both structures came to be modified after work on the site had begun. Even the Romans' mighty building machine had to come to terms with the gap between ideals and the physical realities of construction.

Higher host plant specialization of root‐associated endophytes than mycorrhizal fungi along an arctic elevational gradient

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract How community‐level specialization differs among groups of organisms, and changes along environmental gradients, is fundamental to understanding the mechanisms influencing ecological communities. In this paper, we investigate the specialization of root‐associated fungi for plant species, asking whether the level of specialization varies with elevation. For this, we applied DNA barcoding based on the ITS region to root samples of five plant species equivalently sampled along an elevational gradient at a high arctic site. To assess whether the level of specialization changed with elevation and whether the observed patterns varied between mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi, we applied a joint species distribution modeling approach. Our results show that host plant specialization is not environmentally constrained in arctic root‐associated fungal communities, since there was no evidence for changing specialization with elevation, even if the composition of root‐associated fungal communities changed substantially. However, the level of specialization for particular plant species differed among fungal groups, root‐associated endophytic fungal communities being highly specialized on particular host species, and mycorrhizal fungi showing almost no signs of specialization. Our results suggest that plant identity affects associated mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi differently, highlighting the need of considering both endophytic and mycorrhizal fungi when studying specialization in root‐associated fungal communities.

The relevance of school career education programs to prepare students for career decisions is discussed.
Employer Sponsored Medical Benefits: The Influence of Occupational Characteristics and Gender

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research investigates gender differences in employer-sponsored medical fringe benefits: health insurance, dental insurance, sick leave, life insurance, and eye care coverage. Using data from a nationally representative sample of workers in the United States, human capital and structural theoretical approaches are drawn upon to explain the receipt of these benefits. The data suggest (a) men were more likely than women to receive each medical benefits from their employer; (b) occupational conditions largely account for the gender differences in coverage; (c) structural conditions of the occupation were more likely to predict the receipt of employer-sponsored medical benefits than were human capital attributes; (d) hazardous working conditions were not compensated for with medical benefits, with the exception of eye care coverage; and (e) gender did influence the relationship between several occupational conditions and benefit coverage.
Flora In Cantico Canticorum Towards A More Precise Characterisation Of Translation Technique In The LXX Ofsong Of Songs

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter focuses on flowers in the Septuagint, in the hope that Raija Sollamo will find it both a fitting and an original surprise. The goal is to contribute to the domain in question. It hopes to make a specific contribution to the study of the translation technique of the Septuagint in relation to Song of Songs. The study begins with the rendering of flowers in the LXX, then deals in turn with trees and fruits. Next, the study discusses the translation of herbs and spices. The study concludes with a summary and interpretation of the results arising from the three separate paragraphs, with a view to an adequate characterisation of the translation technique of Song of Songs on the basis of the studied very specific criterion, and the confrontation thereof with the results of the study of the rendering of hapax legomena in LXX Song of Songs. Keywords: flowers; LXX of Song of Songs; Raija Sollamo; Septuagint
Comparison of components and activities of microsomal P450 monooxygenases from the cotton bollworm,Helicoverpa armigera during different developmental stages

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The components and activities of microsomal P450 monooxygenases in 6th instar larva, pupa and adult were examined.The results showed that the levels of P450 and NADPH\|P450 reductase were in the order of 6th instar larval midgutpupaeadults.The contents of cytochrome P450 in pupa was similar to that in 6th instar larval fatbody,while the level of NADPH\|cytochrome P450 reductase in the former was only about quarter as much as that in the latter.In adult microsome,the two components were undetectable.Compared with 6th instar larvae,the assayed activities were much lower in adult and pupa: the \%p\%\|nitroanisole demethylation was undetectable and aldrin epoxidation was 10 -3 fold as that in 6th instar larva.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The definition, pathogenesis, incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of neurosyphilis are discussed. Controlled trials of benzathine penicillin in the treatment of neurosyphilis are reviewed, as are recent case reports of benzathine penicillin failures. Although few well-controlled studies exist to document conclusively the efficacy of benzathine penicillin in the treatment of neurosyphilis, its use is recommended in selected situations.
Locating Media in Cultural Theories

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper examines means of facilitating research on media as a critical component of contemporary culture based on assessments of recent publications on media. The primary target is in the fundamentally heuristic value of social theories relative to the topic. Based on semiotics, practice, and, to a much lesser degree, speech act theory, analysts generate constructs wherein media often deviate from the conceptual horizons in respective schemes. Reading Derrida’s views on speech act theory suggests that an endeavor to resolve the mismatch demands the decomposition of core concepts of a theory. Just as Anderson’s formulation casts a delicate light on the use of semiotics in media research, media prefigured through the lenses of the performative forces us to rethink its presence in everyday occurrence as a problematic unthought. The paper concludes that the application of speech act theory to media is a plausible solution to the problems so far encountered if accompanied by historical perspectives on the formation of illocutionary acts.

Evolution towards increasing complexity through functional diversification in a protocell model of the RNA world

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

The encapsulation of genetic material inside compartments together with the creation and sustenance of functionally diverse internal components are likely to have been key steps in the formation of ’live’, replicating protocells in an RNA world. Several experiments have shown that RNA encapsulated inside lipid vesicles can lead to vesicular growth and division through physical processes alone. Replication of RNA inside such vesicles can produce a large number of RNA strands. Yet, the impact of such replication processes on the emergence of the first ribozymes inside such protocells and on the subsequent evolution of the protocell population remains an open question. In this paper, we present a model for the evolution of protocells with functionally diverse ribozymes. Distinct ribozymes can be created with small probabilities during the error-prone RNA replication process via the rolling circle mechanism. We identify the conditions that can synergistically enhance the number of different ribozymes inside a protocell and allow functionally diverse protocells containing multiple ribozymes to dominate the population. Our work demonstrates the existence of an effective pathway towards increasing complexity of protocells that might have eventually led to the origin of life in an RNA world.
Analysis of Flow Velocity Distribution in Arc Affected by Transverse Magnetic Field with Lateral Gas Flow for Elucidation of Arc Deflection

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Gas metal arc welding is used widely because this is the high efficient and quality joining technology. However, the welding defect occurs because of the arc deflection caused by the strong wind. The preventive technology of arc deflection is important. It is possible that the arc deflection is prevented using Lorentz force caused by the transverse magnetic field against lateral gas. The arc deflection has not been elucidated because the measurement of three-dimensionally asymmetric temperature and the axial flow velocity distribution of arc is difficult at the only experiment. The 3-D numerical analysis is necessary to elucidate flow velocity affected by Lorentz force. In this study, the flow velocity distribution in the arc affected by the transverse magnetic field with the lateral gas flow for the elucidation of arc deflection was analyzed. The arc deflection was calculated with lateral gas flow and changing the transverse magnetic flux density using the electromagnetic thermal fluid (EMTF) simulation. As a result, the difference in arc deflection distance from the experiment was 0.4mm with a transverse magnetic flux density, indicating a similar tendency. In addition, the axial flow velocity increased and the radial flow velocity decreased with the electromagnetic force in the opposite direction against crosswind. Along with this, the arc deflection distance decreased.
The Origin and the History of Main Agronomic Characters of a Paddy-Rice Variety Koshihikari and its Sib Varieties. : I. Derivation of growth characteristics and grain quality through the pedigree

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Agronomic traits of one of leading paddy rrce varrety Koshihikari whrch rs well known for its excellent quality of cooked rice and very popular in the central part of Japan, were investigated comparing with those of four sister varieties derived from the cross Norin 22 XNorin 1, from which Koshihikari had been selected. In order to follow baenetic progrsses achieved in the course of developing the above five sister varieties including Koshihikari, Honenwase, Koshijiwase, Hatsunisiki and Yamasenishiki, agronomic traits of their ancestral varieties were compared with their own traits. Experimetal materials involved were five local varieties and their five descendants, two of which were parents of the five sister vareities, as well as the above five sisters (Fig. 5). The first groups of varieties was referred to as the native varieties, the second as the primary improved and the last as the secondary improved. Relative to the agronomic traits such as maturity, cuhm length, plant type, number of penicles and harvest index, remarkable progresses were recognized in the steps of improvement from the native to the seconclary limproved varieties. The secondary improved sister varieties were earlier, shorter of stature, better in plant type with erect leaves and more panicles and higher in harvest index than the native or the primary improved ones (Tab. 1 and 2). It seems obvious that earliness, short stature and abunbant tillering were transmitted by one of the local variety Moritawase to the sister varieties. Such de
When the "Twilight of Justice" Meets the "Dawn of Nanotechnology" : A Critique of Transhumanism and the Technological Imperative in the Light of George Grant's Moral Philosophy

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This dissertation examines how contemporary Western ethical perspectives frame moral judgments about technologies intended to expand or enhance human abilities. Of particular interest are technological advances that involve nanotechnology, a realm of technoscience that seeks the precise control of matter through deliberately designing structures, devices, and processes with novel and useful properties at the molecular scale. \n\nIn this thesis I analyze trends in the emerging dialogue about the social and ethical implications of nanotechnology. There is growing awareness that technological âprogressâ should not outpace critical reflection over the means and ends of those advances, but I argue that there is a tension between the role of ethics and the practice of technoscience. By ethics I mean ongoing public discussion that contemplates what it means to live a âgood lifeâ and that maintains limits to human actions. By contrast, the practice of technoscience appears to be guided by the âtechnological imperativeâ which holds that we can only know what is good by first figuring out what is possible.\n\nDespite concerted interdisciplinary efforts to address the broad range of ethical issues posed by nanotechnologyâs proposed goals, the prevailing tone of the current discussion tends to reveal what I call a âtechnoprogressiveâ bias, or the belief that technological development is a primary way to improve the human estate and that it leads inevitably to cumulative progress. However, because technoprogressive commentary on nanotechnology focuses on concerns that are framed mainly in terms of risk assessment, cost-benefit analyses, and utilitarian principles, technoprogressive ethics overlooks crucial ethical questions of a different nature, questions that deal with the limits of human action, the nature of justice, and the meaning of being human.\n\nTo analyze the implications of technoprogressive ethics, I employ the moral philosophy of Canadian thinker George Grant because he articulates an underrepresented yet valuable critique of Western societyâs relationship with technology. Grant speaks for a type of transcendental moral realism that challenges the primacy of the technological imperative, insisting that justice ultimately must be grounded upon non-negotiable limits, and that there are objective norms to which human freedom and human self-assertion have to answer.
Spatio-Temporal Pattern in the Changes in Availability and Sustainability of Water Resources in Afghanistan

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Water is gradually becoming scarce in Afghanistan like in many other regions of the globe. The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial changes in the availability and sustainability of water resources in Afghanistan. The Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) data of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite obtained from three different institutes, having 1° × 1° spatial resolution for the period 2002–2016 was used for this purpose. Sen’s slope method was used to assess the rate of change, and the Modified Mann–Kendall test was used for the evaluation of the significance of trends in TWS. After, the concept of reliability–resiliency–vulnerability (RRV) was used for assessing the spatial distribution of sustainability in water resources. The results revealed a significant decrease in water availability in the country over the last 15 years. The decrease was found to be highest in the central region where most of the population of the country resides. The reliability in water resources was found high in the northeast Himalayan region and low in the southwest desert; resilience was found low in the central region, while vulnerability was found high in the south and the southeast. Overall, the water resources of the country were found most sustainable in the northeast and southwest and least in the south and the central parts. The maps of water resource sustainability and the changes in water availability produced in the present study can be used for long-term planning of water resources for adaptation to global changes. Besides, those can be used for the management of water resources in a sustainable and judicious manner.

Heterotic hybrids were identified for average fruit weight (Sakthi x Fresh Market 9, Sakthi x HW 208F), yield / plant (Sakthi x TH 318, Sakthi x Fresh Market 9), locule number (LE 206 x Ohio 8129, LE 214 x St 64) and pericarp thickness (Sakthi x St 64, LE 206 x 64, LE 214 x St 64). All the hybrids were late to harvest and they produced fruits with round shape.
Is Switzerland Still a Lucrative Place for Manufacturers of Drug Substances to Produce Their Products?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Pharmaceutical manufacturers are coming under increasing pricing pressure as a result of healthcare reforms and are therefore looking to low wage countries in the Far East. Often, the outcome is a process that is not fully mature in economic terms. Contract synthesis manufacturers, such as Siegfried, offer assistance here with its comprehensive pharmaceutical know-how in order to establish efficient and low-cost processes at an early stage. Siegfried's strengths lie in its many years experience in the pharmaceutical industry and in the network of contacts it has built up over the years with technical and material suppliers. Therefore, as far as Switzerland as a location for manufacturing is concerned, Siegfried looks to the future with confidence.
