Development of Nitrided Layer during Nitriding of Steel

The present work is devoted to research the influence of micro-structural evolution of the compound zone (iron (carbo)nitrides zone) upon development of hardness profiles in diffusion zone. A different phase structure of iron (carbo)nitrides zone on steel as compared to iron, further changing with the process, may result in upsetting the quasi-equilibrium of nitrogen concentration in the iron (carbo)nitrides zone/diffusion zone interface and may as a result have impact on the kinetics of this layer’s growth. Aimed at solving this problem there was a research carried out to evaluate influence of (carbo)nitrides zone, with intentionally created diametrically different phase composition, on hardness profiles in the diffusion zone. Based on the research conducted, it was shown that the evolution of phase structure of the compound zone contributes significantly, regardless of nitrogen potential and temperature, to the formation of the diffusion zone and in particular to its effective thickness. It makes this complex picture of nitrided case development on steel even more intricated.

Suspense-Optimal College Football Play-Offs

U.S. college football’s traditional bowl system, and lack of a postseason play-off tournament, has been controversial for years. The conventional wisdom is that a play-off would be a more fair way to determine the national champion, and more fun for fans to watch. The colleges finally agreed to begin a play-off in the 2014-2015 season, but with just four teams, and speculation continues that more teams will be added soon. A subtle downside to adding play-off teams is that it reduces the significance of regular season games. We use the framework of Ely, Frankel, and Kamenica (in press) to directly estimate the utility fans would get from this significance, that is, utility from suspense, under a range of play-off scenarios. Our results consistently indicate that play-off expansion causes a loss in regular season suspense utility greater than the gain in the postseason, implying the traditional bowl system (two team play-off) is suspense-optimal. We analyze and discuss implications for TV viewership and other contexts.

Cold-reacting Antibodies: Differences in the Reaction of Anti-I Antibodies with Adult and Cord Red Blood Cells

Abstract The reactions of anti-I cold-agglutinin antibodies with the red cells from normal adults (adult-I) and adult-i donors and from newborn infants have been investigated by the use of the C'1a Fixation and Transfer Test of Borsos and Rapp. Agglutination and high concentration of serum reduce the amounts of the C'1a fixation by these antibodies. Inhibition by serum is due to an inhibitor of C'1a. A single molecule of antibody is required for the fixation of one molecule of C'1a to either adult or cord cells. There was great variability in the amount of anti-I antibody and C'1a fixed by different adult cells and by different cord cells. Although the two ranges overlapped considerably, the amount of antibody fixed by cord cells was somewhat less than that fixed by adult cells. The difference between cord cells or "low-reactivity" adult-I cells and "high-reactivity" adult-I cells is not due to the presence of different or extra antigens on the latter since cord and "low-reactivity" adult I cells are able to absorb all antibody from the antiserum which reacts with "high-reactivity" adult-I cells. The difference between adult-I and cord cells (or adult-i cells) was reduced by pretreatment of the cells with papain and was increased by increasing the temperature at which the reactions were performed. These studies suggest that the difference between adult red cells and cord (or adult i) red cells with regard to the fixation of cold agglutinin antibody is due in large part to a difference in the "affinity" of the antibody and the antigen on the cell surface rather than to a major difference in the number of antigen sites.

FIBRINOLYTIC PEPTIDES IN ARTIFICIAL HEART RECIPIENTS

Patients who are recipients of total artificial heart (TAH) implants develop significant thromboembolic disease (TED). These events cause significant morbidity and are the leading impediments to the use of the TAH. Recently, molecular markers of activation of the hemostatic mechanism have been employed in patients with other causes of thromboembolic disease for earlier detection and for assessing management. We serially measured three fibrinolytic markers (B-beta 1-42 and B-beta 1542 fragments and crossed-1inked D-dimer, XDP) in 3 recipients of the Jarvik-7 artificial heart. The markers were assayed in plasma samples using monoclonal antibodies using ELISA methodology. Normal ranges for our lab are: B-beta 1-42, 3-14 picomoles/ml; B-beta 15-42, 15-32 picomoles/ml; and XDP 6-26 ng/ml. The TAHs were in place for 8, 9, and 252 days. Two patients died and two had strokes. Two of the 3 artificial devises had thrombosis at the time of removal. XDPs rose significantly at the time of TED (&gt;1000 ng/ml). A significant rise in B-beta 1-42 and 15-42 was noted prior to and during the TE events. The ratio's of 1-42 to 15-42 did not change suggesting that these levels were a result of thrombin activity with secondary fibrinolytic activation and not from primary fibrinolysis. These preliminary data suggest that the use of hemostatic molecular markers may be useful for the detection of TED and in assessing control of the hypercoagulable state in TAH recipients.

The Virtuous Circle: Increasing Diversity in LIS Faculties to Create More Inclusive Library Services and Outreach

While increasing the diversity of the library profession has been a longrunning concern of Library and Information Science (LIS), the diversity of LIS doctoral students and faculties has received far less attention. This paper argues that libraries will be best equipped to provide inclusive services and outreach to diverse populations when LIS doctoral students and faculties better reflect the diversity of the United States population. After a brief overview of efforts to diversify LIS, this paper examines the current state of faculty diversity. The concept of a “virtuous circle” is then introduced, examining the ways in which an increase in faculty diversity can ultimately lead to more culturally aware LIS graduates whose education will prepare them to help libraries provide inclusive services and outreach to diverse communities of patrons. The paper then discusses ways that LIS programs and LIS research can work to create this virtuous circle to promote diversity and inclusiveness in LIS.

Job demands and personal resources in their relations to indicators of job strain among nurses for older people

Abstract Aims To examine the role of two personal resources (active, problem‐focused coping; self‐efficacy beliefs) in the relation between job demands and strain. Background Evidence suggests that healthcare staff in general and nurses in particular, are at a high risk of suffering from high levels of job strain. In addition to often examined job‐related resources (such as control and social support), personal resources are expected to moderate (i.e. buffer) the relation between job demands and indicators of strain, particularly when there is a functional match between the type of demands and resources. Design Cross‐sectional questionnaire survey. Method A cross‐sectional questionnaire survey was conducted (February–April 2010) among staff members of three nursing homes of a municipal organization for residential elderly care located in an urban area of Western Germany. A total of 145 of 251 employees responded to the invitation to participate in the study (57·8% participation rate). Data were analysed by hierarchical moderated regression analyses. Results Increasing job demands (quantitative and qualitative workload) had adverse effects on emotional exhaustion, psychosomatic complaints, and turnover intentions, whereas nurses’ self‐efficacy beliefs exerted beneficial effects on all outcomes. Furthermore, findings revealed that active, problem‐focused coping interacts with job demands in the prediction of job strain. Conclusion Both research and practice should focus on a closer match between personal resources and job demands to prevent nurses from being strained.

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Middle East Registry: Challenges Faced, and Lessons Learned from Setting Up a Multi-Country Patient Registry

The burden of inflammatory bowel disease is rising globally, including in the Middle East. There is a paucity of real-world data related to the disease and its treatment in many countries in this region. Patient registries can provide real-world evidence of disease incidence and aetiology, treatment and patient outcomes. The authors designed a non-interventional, multicentre registry to evaluate treatment pathways, resource consumption, and clinical outcomes of patients with inflammatory bowel disease in the Middle East. This article describes challenges faced, and lessons learned from setting up the registry. Registry development requires time, effort, expertise, and skills development to be functional and meet international standards. Careful consideration of legal, governance, ethical and financial issues; data protection and control, minimum data set, data quality assurance, data collection methods, inclusion criteria as well as data sources is critical to the development process. Our findings present stakeholders with a guide for the development and implementation of future registries in the Middle East and offer valuable lessons learned that other countries or regions can utilise as they address inflammatory bowel disease burden and establish their own registries.

Melting of the vortex lattice in layered superconductors

The structure function of the vortex lattice of layered superconductor is calculated to one-loop order. Based on a phenomenological melting criterion concerning the Debye-Waller factor, we calculate the melting line of the vortex lattice, and compare our results to Monte Carlo simulation and experiment. We find that our results are quantitatively in good agreement with the Monte Carlo results. Moreover, our analytic calculation of the melting line of BSCCO fits the experiment reasonably well in a temperature range not far from Tc.

Raised serum levels of IgM-rheumatoid factor and anti-F(ab')2 autoantibodies in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease.

The serum levels of IgM-Rheumatoid Factor and of anti-F(ab')2 autoantibodies were investigated in patients with inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) by sensitive radioimmunoassays. Serum levels of the 2 autoantibodies were significantly increased in active IBD. In patients with Crohn's Disease raised titers of the 2 antibodies appeared to be also related to colonic involvement. There was, in Crohn's Disease, a significant association between concordantly positive results with the 2 assays and the occurrence of systemic complications. Immunocomplexes detected by the C1q-SP method were higher in sera of Crohn's Disease patients with raised IgM-RF than in the others. Data from the present investigation indicate that in active IBD and particularly in Crohn's Disease autoantibodies directed against different parts of the immunoglobulin molecule may be produced. These findings add support to the concept that an in vivo polyclonal B-cell activation may occur in these patients.

Using model dataflow graphs to reduce the storage requirements of constraints

Dataflow constraints allow programmers to easily specify relationships among application objects in a natural, declarative manner. Most constraint solvers represent these dataflow relationships as directed edges in a dataflow graph. Unfortunately, dataflow graphs require a great deal of storage. Consequently, an application with a large number of constraints can get pushed into virtual memory, and performance degrades in interactive applications. Our solution is based on the observation that objects derived from the same class use the same constraints, and thus have the same dataflow graphs. We represent the common dataflow patterns in a model dataflow graph that is stored with the class. Instance objects may derive explicit dependencies from this graph when the dependencies are needed. Model dependencies provide a useful new mechanism for improving the storage efficiency of dataflow constraint systems, especially when a large number of constrained objects must be managed.

Introduction

On 24 September 1562, Thomas Randolph, the English ambassador to Scotland, rested himself at a table in Aberdeen with parchment, ink and quill before him. In all likelihood, his table was lit by a candle that flickered as it illuminated the page. He began to compose a letter to Sir William Cecil, Elizabeth I's secretary and primary adviser, describing in great detail the tumultuous events of the past six days. During this time, the Earl of Huntly, the greatest lord in northeast Scotland and a Catholic, had threatened Mary Queen of Scots and her continued governance of the country. Randolph wrote hastily, his handwriting worsening as the four-page letter proceeded towards its conclusion. He discussed events happening across Scotland in great detail, even ones from the south of the kingdom, far from his current location in Aberdeen. He commented on the growing tensions between France and his homeland, of which he appeared intimately knowledgeable. In his last paragraph, Randolph referred briefly to the letter he had just received from Cecil. A letter that had been dated the 'viiith of this instant', or sixteen days earlier.1

Advanced methods for passive acoustic detection, classification, and localization of marine mammals

For effective long-term passive acoustic monitoring of large data sets, automated algorithms provide the ability to detect, classify, and locate (DCL) marine mammal vocalizations. Several DCL algorithms were developed and enhanced, with emphasis on methods robust to non-Gaussian and non-stationary noise sources. (1) A subspace model was developed to separate odontocete clicks from noise sounds. (2) A multi-class support vector machine was improved by resolving confusion among species’ overlapping-frequency clicks, and a beaked whale buzz class developed. (3) For dolphin whistles, shape-related features, extractable automatically, were shown to carry species-specific information. (4) Equipment and site differences were discovered to affect Gaussian mixture model classifiers, and methods were developed to mitigate these differences. (5) A nearest-neighbor approach to detection association and 3D localization across multiple phones with multiple arrivals was developed (and applied to beaked whales) using time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) hyperbolic methods, retaining TDOAs with fewer than the usual three detections and using associations between a given phone’s detections with nearest neighbors. (6) Minke whale “boing” frequency estimates were improved to differentiate individuals, and a kinematic tracking algorithm was developed. (7) A generalized-power-law detector for humpback whales was improved. (8) A software interface for detection was developed, then tested by sending data from Ishmael to a detection process in MATLAB.

Bangla Speech Recognition System Using LPC and ANN

This paper presents the Bangla speech recognition system. Bangla speech recognition system is divided mainly into two major parts. The first part is speech signal processing and the second part is speech pattern recognition technique. The speech processing stage consists of speech starting and end point detection, windowing, filtering, calculating the Linear Predictive Coding(LPC) and Cepstral Coefficients and finally constructing the codebook by vector quantization. The second part consists of pattern recognition system using Artificial Neural Network(ANN). Speech signals are recorded using an audio wave recorder in the normal room environment. The recorded speech signal is passed through the speech starting and end-point detection algorithm to detect the presence of the speech signal and remove the silence and pauses portions of the signals. The resulting signal is then filtered for the removal of unwanted background noise from the speech signals. The filtered signal is then windowed ensuring half frame overlap. After windowing, the speech signal is then subjected to calculate the LPC coefficient and Cepstral coefficient. The feature extractor uses a standard LPC Cepstrum coder, which converts the incoming speech signal into LPC Cepstrum feature space. The Self Organizing Map(SOM) Neural Network makes each variable length LPC trajectory of an isolated word into a fixed length LPC trajectory and thereby making the fixed length feature vector, to be fed into to the recognizer. The structures of the neural network is designed with Multi Layer Perceptron approach and tested with 3, 4, 5 hidden layers using the Transfer functions of Tanh Sigmoid for the Bangla speech recognition system. Comparison among different structures of Neural Networks conducted here for a better understanding of the problem and its possible solutions.
