Overall effects of financial liberalization: financial crisis versus economic growth

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The contribution of this work consists firstly in decomposing the effect of financial liberalization into a global direct positive effect on growth and an indirect negative effect via financial fragility and crisis. We show that the aggregate positive effect of financial liberalization outweighs the negative partial or temporary effect. Secondly, contrary to previous works, we distinguish many types of financial reforms. We found that equity market liberalization is the most important component in reducing economical costs associated with financial crisis. Thus, equity market liberalization is the most important favoring growth. Interest rate liberalization enhances significantly the probability of crisis leading to a short-run indirect effect more important than other financial reforms. Thirdly, we improved our work by addressing model uncertainty using Bayesian Model Averaging techniques to choose appropriate indicators for model crisis specification.

Sputter-Deposition of [111]-Axis Oriented Rhombohedral PZT Films and Their Dielectric, Ferroelectric and Pyroelectric Properties

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

[111]-oriented PZT films have been successfully grown with good epitaxy onto epitaxial platinum film substrates by the rf-magnetron sputtering method using Pb enriched PZT(90/10) targets. The sputtering conditions for growing epitaxial films were investigated. Crystallographic identifications of the films were made by the X-ray and RHEED measurements. Dielectric, ferroelectric and pyroelectric properties of these films were measured. Pyroelectric coefficients at room temperature were determined as 45 and 3×10 -9 C/cm 2 K for epitaxial PZT films with poling and without poling treatments, respectively. Epitaxial PZT films sputtered on Pt/sapphire possess desirable properties for potential applications to pyroelectric devices.
Extraarticular Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Arthroscopic treatment of diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee is reported to have low recurrence rates and morbidity. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate demographic information, clinical symptoms, treatment parameters, and functional outcome in a group of 38 consecutive patients referred to the authors' hospital with persistent extraarticular diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee after arthroscopic synovectomy. There were 23 males and 15 females with an average age of 31.7 years (range, 11-65 years) at the time of arthroscopy. All had an average of 1.7 (range, 1-5) arthroscopies. Thirty-four of 38 (89.5%) patients had some improvements of their symptoms after arthroscopic synovectomy, but all had worse symptoms and function at the latest followup of 3.63 years (range, 0.25-19.5 years). Although arthroscopic synovectomy offered some short-term relief, a critical review of prior reports and the data in the current study suggest poor outcomes in patients who have extraarticular diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee after arthroscopic synovectomy. Magnetic resonance imaging is recommended for accurate staging of the disease and for long-term followup after arthroscopic treatment.
Three Bibliometric Analyses of Anthropology Literature

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Three bibliometric analyses of articles in the UK anthropology journal, Man, are described. The first analysis looks at the forms of material cited in the articles and confirms the observation that anthropologists rely heavily on books, while also revealing a rise in the popularity of anthologies of papers in book form at the expense of serials. The second study examines the relative age of cited publications. The lack of contraction in the citing half-life confirms the commonly-held view that anthropology is a relatively slow-moving discipline, but the decrease in the mean age of references contradicts statements made by citation analysts and librarians that anthropology lacks the capacity to build on its older literature without having to refer back to it explicitly. The third analysis investigates the presentational history of articles, following a study by Sydney Pierce, but produces conflicting results which demonstrate that, in this case at least, the variables examined are unsatisfactory indicators of disciplinary consensus. The concluding discussion looks at the applicability of bibliometrics to anthropology librarianship, outlining both problems and benefits, and suggesting areas of future bibliometric research most likely to be of interest to anthropology librarians.

Potential of Lemongrass as River Siltation Control Associated with Water Runoff

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Erosion is the natural process in undisturbed ecosystem for a natural geochemical cycle to maintain and balance between the rates of soil formation. However, due to the land disturbance which mainly from anthropogenic activities cause soil erosion become the main problems to be face. Soil erosion induced the process of siltation to occur by transporting particle silt and clay that will accumulated at the bottom of the river when the particles being loaded in excessive flow. This gave huge impact to the quality of water and also aquatic life. The existing prevention method in controlling erosion such as concrete embankments was high in cost, difficult to maintain and also not biological. Prevention method by using natural barrier was conducted in this study to overcome erosion problem by using vegetative barrier to filter the sediments and silts. Lemongrass being planted at Agro Park, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan with 17.6% degree of the slope to analyze its effectiveness in preventing runoff of sediment. Fifty samples of water runoff were collected during rainy day in April and May before and after surface runoff passing through lemongrass to know the amount of Total Suspended Solid. Water samples were analyzed using spectrophotometer to see the reduction of its value after passing vegetative barrier. Highest percentage of reduction of sediments after passing through vegetative barrier was 51.28 % while the lowest reduction was 11.19%. The value of TSS after passing lemongrass is significantly reduced which show that planting lemongrass can effectively help in filtering sediments of surface runoff during rainy days and can be said as one of the environmental friendly mechanisms in controlling erosion. It also can give benefit towards the soil stabilization and at the same time lemongrass can be harvest for the other beneficial use. \n
Motion Planning for Dynamic Three-Dimensional Manipulation for Unknown Flexible Linear Object

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Generally, deformable objects have large and nonlinear deformations. Because of these characteristics, recognition and estimation of their movement are difficult. Many studies have been conducted aimed at manipulating deformable objects at will. However, they have been focused on situations wherein a rope’s properties are already known from prior experiments. In our previous work, we proposed a motion planning algorithm to manipulate unknown ropes using a robot arm. Our approach considered three steps: motion generation, manipulation, and parameter estimation. By repeating these three steps, a parameterized flexible linear object model that can express the actual rope movements was estimated, and manipulation was realized. However, our previous work was limited to 2D space manipulation. In this paper, we extend our previously proposed method to address casting manipulation in a 3D space. Casting manipulation involves targeting the flexible linear object tips at the desired object. While our previous studies focused solely on two-dimensional manipulation, this work examines the applicability of the same approach in 3D space. Moreover, 3D manipulation using an unknown flexible linear object has never been reported for dynamic manipulation with flexible linear objects. In this work, we show that our proposed method can be used for 3D manipulation.
Construction of embedded periodic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We construct embedded minimal surfaces which are $n$-periodic in $\mathbb{R}^n$. They are new for codimension $n-2\ge 2$. We start with a Jordan curve of edges of the $n$-dimensional cube. It bounds a Plateau minimal disk which Schwarz reflection extends to a complete minimal surface. Studying the group of Schwarz reflections, we can characterize those Jordan curves for which the complete surface is embedded. For example, for $n=4$ exactly five such Jordan curves generate embedded surfaces. Our results apply to surface classes other than minimal as well, for instance polygonal surfaces.
Digitally-controlled automatic gain control circuits for CMOS CCD electronic cameras

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper describes automatic gain control circuit (AGC) design techniques for CMOS CCD camera interface systems. The required gain of the proposed AGC is controlled directly by digital bits without conventional extra digital-to-analog converters. The amplifying function of the AGC is divided into three stages for high-speed operation. A capacitor-segment combination technique considerably improves the effective bandwidth of the AGC. The prototype implemented in a 0.5 /spl mu/m n-well CMOS process shows the 32-dB AGC dynamic range in 1/8-dB steps with 173 mW at 3 V and 25 MHz. A two-stage AGC is proposed to reduce power and chip area further.
Exploring the Spatial Variation of the Relationship between Land Use and Water Quality in a Drainage Basin Using Geographically Weighted Regression

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The focus of this study is to determine the relationship between land use and water quality in the River Mu drainage basin for effective water quality management. Various land uses in the study area were identified and mapped using Landsat 8 OLI of 2016. Water samples were also collected from 112 sample sites using Stratified Random Sampling methods. The samples were analysed in terms of physicochemical parameters using standard methods. The results of land use and water quality parameters were regressed using Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) to determine whether there exist spatially varying relationships. The results revealed that the local R2 values varied between 0.0 and 0.5, indicating a weak relationship between land use and water pollution, except for mixed forest and pH which recorded local R2 values of 0.7 towards the western region of the study area. This shows that the relationship between the two variables varied spatially across the drainage basin. The one-sample Kolmogorov Smirmov test-p<0.05 revealed that there were significant differences in pH (0.00), EC (0.00), turbidity (0.001), TDS (0.048), DO (0.003), NH4+ (0.002), Ca2+ (0.00), Cl- (0.036), Fe3+ (0.00) and Cr2+ (0.039) across the different sample points, whereas K+ (0.134), PO43- (0.715) and NO3- (0.501) were not significantly different across the different sample points. The study recommended that the procedure for water management be localized to sub-catchment and basin levels, to provide adequate attention to each sub-catchment depending on the level and nature of pollution identified.

Blood Metabolomic Profiling Predicts Postoperative Gastrointestinal Function Of Colorectal Surgical Patients Under The Guidance Of Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract

Background: Postoperative gastrointestinal function influences postoperative recovery and hospital stay length for patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) restricts fluid administration to an amount required to prevent dehydration. Although the fluid management of GDFT could decrease the incidence of postoperative complications in patients who undergo high-risk surgery, certain patients may not respond to GDFT. Thus, to achieve optimal treatment, identification of patients suitable for GDFT is necessary. Accordingly, in this study, we evaluated the predictive capacity of metabolomics profiling for postoperative recovery after surgery for colorectal cancer.Methods: Metabolomic profiling of 48 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgery was performed. Patients were divided into delayed- and enhanced-recovered groups based on gastrointestinal function within 72 hours, and the results of -omics analysis showed differential serum metabolites between the two groups of patients in the postanesthesia care unit 24 hours after surgery. A support vector machine model was applied to evaluate the curative effects of GDFT in different patients.Results: Four metabolites, oleamide, ubiquinone-1, acetylcholine, and oleic acid, were found to be highly associated with postoperative gastrointestinal function and could serve as potential biomarkers. Moreover, four pathways were found to be highly related to postoperative gastrointestinal recovery. Among these, the vitamin B6 metabolism pathway may be a common pathway for improving postoperative recovery in various diseases.Conclusion: Our findings proposed a novel method to predict postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function based on metabolomic profiling and suggested the potential mechanisms contributing to gastrointestinal function after surgical resection of colorectal cancer under the fluid management of GDFT.

Illumination also needs energy. Measures for rational and economical uses of illumination energy

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The power supply for illumination amounts to 20-25% of the total power demand in the Federal Republic of Germany. In modern lights, maximally 20% of the power used is converted to light radiation, the major part is carried into the room as heat. The heat demand can be reduced considerably by reasonable arrangement of the light waste heat into the ventilation system with heat recovery which is already existing in large rooms. In the summertime, sucking off the light waste heat in so-called air-condition-lights leads to reduction of the cooling power. With progressing interconnection of the energy flows (for heating, cooling, air transport, and illumination) in the technical equipment of the building, energy consumption for illumination can amount to up to 70% of the total external energy consumption.
Forms of Soil Potassium as Influenced by Long Term Application of Chemical Fertilizers and Organics in Rainfed Maize-Wheat Cropping System

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A study on potassium dynamics under long term use of variable doses of imbalanced chemical fertilizers and organics in rainfed maize-wheat system was carried out in Typic Ustipsamments of low hill zone of Himachal Pradesh between rabi (2007–08) and kharif (2008) seasons in the ongoing long-term fertilizer experiment at the research farm of CSKHPKV, HAREC, Dhaulakuan. Surface soil (0-15cm) after sixteen cropping cycles was analyzed for different forms of potassium. All the fractions of potassium viz. water soluble-K, exchangeable-K and non exchangeable-K decreased from its initial status in most of the treatments. Treatments receiving K fertilizer (100% NPK) showed increase in water soluble-K and exchangeable-K fraction over the initial status. Application of FYM (Farmyard manure) in both the seasons also increased the content of water soluble-K and exchangeable-K over the initial value. In general application of FYM with chemical fertilizers showed higher content of all the fractions compared to treatments where imbalanced inorganic fertilizers were applied (100% N and 100% NP). Maximum decrease in all the fractions of K was recorded in treatment 100 per cent N followed by 100 per cent NP. Use of FYM to both crops has resulted in higher yield in case of wheat crop. Water soluble-K was the important fraction of potassium contributing towards crop yields and total K uptake.
Genetic studies on .ALPHA.-amylase isozymes in wheat. III. Intraspecific variation in Aegilops squarrosa and birthplace of hexaploid wheat.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Fifty seven strains of KUSE (Kyoto University Scientific Expedition to The Karakoram and Hindukush) collection and three laboratory strains of Aegilops squarrosa were examined with respect to α-amylase isozymes of germinating seed. Seven zymogram patterns were identified, each of which consisted of a few isozyme bands most probably specified by the genes on chromosome 6D and only one by the gene on chromosome 7D. Among varieties of Ae. Squarrosa, var. typica was most variable, followed by var. strangulata. Variation in α-amylase isozymes, as in the other various characters, was most concentrated in the region of Gorgan, in decreasing order being the regions of Pahlavi, Tabriz and Tehran, and no variation in the other regions. From comparison of the zymograms between tetra- and hexaploid wheat, a particular zymogram pattern of α-amylase, Ams 3 was concluded as the one expected in the D genome donor to the main line of descent of hexaploid wheat. Ams 3 located most predominantly in the region of Gorgan, extending westwards along the south coast of Caspian sea up to Derbent, Caucasus. Therefore, it is most reasonable to consider that birthplace of hexaploid wheat should be extended to the south-east coast-land of Caspian sea from the area including south-west Caspian coast region and Transcaucasus, which the previous authors have indicated. On the other hand, discussion about independent origin of ssp. macha was made in view of the variant zymogram pattern.
