Plane strain large deformation analysis of this cylindrical shell subject to external pressure

Included in this report are the analytical results of a plane strain large displacement analysis of a thin cylindrical shell subjected to nonuniform external pressure. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the ultimate load capacities and hence, the design margins of safety of the shell structure for both the static and the dynamic loading conditions. The finite element method was used to solve the numerical problem. For dynamic analysis, the implicit Houbolt operator was utilized to perform the time integration. All numerical computations were accomplished using the nonlinear finite element program MARC. The analysis is one of the tasks required for the technical assistance program &amp;#x27;&amp;#x27;Safety Margin Associated with Containment Structures Under Dynamic Loading.&amp;#x27;&amp;#x27;

The Global Positioning System, Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS) are powerful tools that enable ecologists to acquire, store, analyse and display spatial ecological data (Dominy & Duncan, 2001), whereas remote sensing can provide information unobtainable by traditional methods. Although there has been an exponential rise in the use of this technology-based synergism for spatial analyses, mapping and modelling in the ecological and plant sciences (Du Puy & Moat, 1998; Dale, 1999; Wadsworth & Treweek, 1999), there have been few, fully integrative applications by primatologists (but see Table 4.1). Applications relevant to primatologists include: vegetation classification and mapping; forest fragmentation assessment; biomass estimation; population viability analyses; animal censusing; habitat sensitivity/vulnerability mapping and analysis; location and delimitation of protected areas; radio-tracking/foraging patterns and cost–distance analyses; and nesting pattern analysis.

The influence of starter cultures on the lactic acid bacteria microbiota of Petrovac sausage

Petrovac sausage (Petrovská klobása) is a high-quality fermented dry sausage produced traditionally in the municipality of Ba?ki Petrovac (Vojvodina, Serbia). The product is characterised by specific and recognised texture, aroma and colour, produced without additives or preservatives. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) microbiota plays an important role in production of the sausage. The aim of the paper is to monitor the changes in LAB during the production of Petrovac sausage. Samples of sausages were prepared without and with the addition of starter culture Staphylococcus xylosus as well as combined starter culture Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and S. xylosus, and produced at two different temperature ranges. A total number of 495 strains were isolated from 33 samples of Petrovac sausage during 120 days of production process. Characterisation of the isolates was performed by phenotypic tests, while molecular identification of the representative strains was done by 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing. The total number of LAB was about 8 log (Colony Forming Unit (CFU))/g in all samples, while the number of staphylococci was about 4 log CFU/g. Molecular identification confirmed that all isolates belonged to the following species: Levilactobacillus brevis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus. Lactobacilli and Leuconostoc spp. dominate the total LAB strains, while P. pentosaceus was isolated at the lowest frequency.

Detecting Heart Rate Variability using Millimeter-Wave Radar Technology

Identifying cardiac abnormalities has mainly been determined by the observation of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. To collect ECG signals, it is often necessary to place ECG electrodes on the body for critical analysis of ECG data transmitted by such electrodes. By analyzing this collected data, it is then possible, for example, to examine the intervals between the heartbeats (or R-R intervals) to measure the heart rate variability (HRV). However, this process requires a multilayered setup for both hardware and software which can be costly and time consuming. To overcome these challenges, we introduce in this paper a real-time millimeter-wave radar-based, non-contact vital sign monitoring system that is capable of detecting the heart variability rate without the use of any heart rate sensors or wires required. Through this system, it is then possible to detect any heart rate abnormalities by analyzing the collected data. Throughout the paper, we present results for three individuals and compare our approach to heart rate monitoring devices and Apple Watch.

Synthesis, Characterization and NO Synthase Inhibition Testing of 2‐Aryl‐5‐aroyl‐3,4,5,6‐tetrahydropyrimidinium Chlorides

Aryl methyl ketones can be easily converted to 1‐aryl‐2‐dimethylaminomethylpropenones that are known as interesting lead structures for drug development. By reaction of these enone Mannich bases with benzamidines, a series of new 2‐aryl‐5‐aroyl‐3,4,5,6‐tetrahydopyrimidines were synthesized. These structures were characterized according to their lipophilicity. Thirty five tetrahydropyrimidines were evaluated as nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors in usual screening assays. Some interesting members of this class of compounds were forwarded to more detailed tests determining mechanism of inhibition and inhibition of NADH consumption. The investigated structures showed modest activity of NOS inhibition. However, some new tetrahydropyrimidines bearing extended aromatic substituents such as the naphthyloyl or biphenyloyl residue displayed some activity of neuronal NOS and endothelial NOS inhibition but without selectivity for an isoform and should be of interest for further modifications.

Dietary fiber intake and head and neck cancer risk: A pooled analysis in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology consortium

The possible role of dietary fiber in the etiology of head neck cancers (HNCs) is unclear. We used individual-level pooled data from ten case-control studies (5959 cases and 12,248 controls) participating in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium, to examine the association between fiber intake and cancer of the oral cavity/pharynx and larynx. Odds Ratios (ORs) and their 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) were estimated using unconditional multiple logistic regression applied to quintile categories of non-alcohol energy-adjusted fiber intake and adjusted for tobacco and alcohol use and other known or putative confounders. Fiber intake was inversely associated with oral and pharyngeal cancer combined (OR for 5th vs. 1st quintile category = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.40–0.59; p for trend <0.001) and with laryngeal cancer (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.54–0.82, p for trend <0.001). There was, however, appreciable heterogeneity of the estimated effect across studies for oral and pharyngeal cancer combined. Nonetheless, inverse associations were consistently observed for the subsites of oral and pharyngeal cancers and within most strata of the considered covariates, for both cancer sites. Our findings from a multicenter large-scale pooled analysis suggest that, although in the presence of between-study heterogeneity, a greater intake of fiber may lower HNC risk.

Disneyland and Disney World: Designing and Prescribing the Recreational Experience

Abstract Abstract Disneyland and Walt Disney World are two of the best known and most highly visited tourism destinations in the world. With this visibility and audience reach, the action of the Disney Company extends well beyond the boundaries of their theme parks. That is, the standards that Disney sets in the management of its park environments have the potential to become the standards against which all environments are judged. Similarly, the visitor expectations and experiences that Disney constructs can become models to which visitors would have all recreation managers aspire. Disney is often acknowledged as the premier visitor services organization, and it is partly this excellence that gives it stature and impact. As recreational visitors are increasingly being treated as customers, natural resource managers should consider the appropriateness of Disney's approach to designing and prescribing the visitor experience. Résumé Disneyland et Disney World figurent parmi les destinations touristiques les mieux connues et les plus fréquentées du monde. Une telle visibilité et un tel pouvoir d'attraction font en sorte que l'activité de la Société Disney exerce son influence bien au-delà des frontières de ces deux parcs thématiques. En d'autres termes, les normes selon lesquelles la société Disney gère l'environnement de ses parcs pourraient devenir un modèle à suivre, répondant à la fois aux attentes des visiteurs et à celles des gestionnaires des sites de loisir. La société Disney est mondialement reconnue pour la qualité de ses services d'accueil aux visiteurs. Cette réputation, fondée sur l'excellence, lui confère force et influence. Les visiteurs des sites de loisir, étant de plus en plus considérés comme des clients, les gestionnaires de ces sites auraient avantage à s'inspirer de l'approche préconisée par la société Disney lors de la conception et la planification des activités de loisir. Resumen Disneyland y Disney World figuran dentro de las destinaciones turísticas más conocidas y más frecuentadas del mundo. Tal visibilidad y tal poder de atracción hacen que la actividad de la Sociedad Disney ejerza su influencia más allá de las fronteras de estos dos parques temáticos. En otros términos las normas según las que la Sociedad Disney administra el medio ambiente de sus parques podrían convertirse en un modelo a adoptar, respondiendo a la vez a las aspiraciones de los visitantes y a las aspiraciones de los administradores de los sitios de recreación. La Sociedad Disney es reconocida mundialmente por la calidad de los servicios de recibimiento a los visitantes. Esta reputación, fundada sobre la excelencia, le confiere fuerza e influencia. Los visitantes de los sitios de recreación, siendo considerados de más en más como clientes, los administradores de estos sitios tendrían ventaja de inspirarse del enfoque preconizado por la Sociedad Disney durante la concepción y la planificación de las actividades de recreación.

Secondary Metabolites with Herbicidal and Antifungal Activities from Marine-Derived Fungus Alternaria iridiaustralis

Weed and soil-borne pathogens could synergistically affect vegetable growth and result in serious losses. Investigation of agricultural bioactive metabolites from marine-derived fungus Alternaria iridiaustralis yielded polyketides (1–4), benzopyrones (5–7), meroterpenoid derivatives (8), and alkaloid (9). The structures and absolute configurations of new 1, 3, 5–6, and 8 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, as well as comparisons between measured and calculated ECD and 13C NMR data. Compounds 1–4, 6, and 9 showed herbicidal potentials against the radicle growth of Echinochloa crusgalli seedlings. Especially 9 exhibited inhibition rates over 90% at concentrations of 20 and 40 μg/mL, even better than the commonly used chemical herbicide acetochlor. Furthermore, 9 also performed a wide herbicidal spectrum against the malignant weeds Digitaria sanguinalis, Portulaca oleracea, and Descurainia sophia. Compounds 5–8 showed antifungal activities against carbendazim-resistant strains of Botrytis cinerea, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 32 to 128 μg/mL, which were better than those of carbendazim (MIC = 256 μg/mL). Especially 6 exhibited integrated effects against both soil-borne pathogens and weed. Overall, marine-derived fungus A. iridiaustralis, which produces herbicidal and antifungal metabolites 1–9, showed the potential for use as a microbial pesticide to control both weed and soil-borne pathogens.

Sleep spindle detection using time-frequency sparsity

This paper proposes an EEG processor for sleep spindle detection algorithms. It non-linearly separates the raw EEG signal into non-oscillatory transient and sustained rhythmic oscillation components using long and short windows for the short-time Fourier transform. The processor utilizes the fact that sleep spindles can be sparsely represented via the inverse of a short-time Fourier transform. Five sleep spindle detectors were tested on the EEG database with and without the proposed EEG processor. We achieved an improvement of 13.3% in the by-sample F <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</inf> score, and 13.9% in the by-sample Matthews Correlation Coefficient score of these algorithms when the processed EEG was used for spindle detection. The processor was able to improve the scores by reducing the number of false positive spindles and increasing the number of true positive spindles detected.

A Dictionary of Nafsan, South Efate, Vanuatu

This is a dictionary of Nafsan, the language spoken in Vanuatu in the south of Efate Island in the villages of Erakor, Pango, and Eratap. Nafsan is one of 130 distinct languages spoken in Vanuatu. Over several decades, linguist Nicholas Thieberger worked in close collaboration with the Erakor community to record this unique language and to refine its written presentation. The resulting publication offers insight into the diversity of meanings available to speakers of Nafsan, providing some 3,400 senses for Nafsan words and an English-Nafsan finderlist. In addition, the book gives an overview of the Nafsan sound system, provides a list of existing literature on the language dating back to early missionary translations, and includes maps of Efate locating nearly 200 place names. Readers will also find South Efate cultural knowledge embedded in the explanations of the Nafsan words and their usages. A welcome companion to Thieberger's A Grammar of South Efate (2006), this book complements and significantly augments other multimedia resources made available online by the author

Serum Hormone Levels during Sleep and Wakefulness in the Immature Female Rat

Variations in serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), prolactin (PRL), growth hormone (GH), and corticosterone in the states of arousal, slow wave sleep and paradoxical sleep were studied as a function of time from the onset of arousal and sleep which were determined polygraphically in 27- to 30-day-old female rats. Markedly high LH values occurred more frequently during slow wave sleep than during other stages, resulting in a tendency to greater mean LH levels in the state of slow wave sleep. Variations in PRL values at various states of the sleep-waking cycle were not very large, but a statistically significant peak occurred shortly after the sleep onset. The mean PRL values obtained after 5 min of paradoxical sleep were lower than those obtained during slow wave sleep. Mean GH values were higher during sleep than arousal state, and the mean during paradoxical sleep was highest. GH levels peaked at 30 min after sleep onset. Corticosterone values were highest in the arousal state, and decreased abruptly after 20 min of sleep. There were no significant variations in FSH and TSH levels in serum during various sleep-waking states. These secretory patterns of anterior pituitary hormones during a sleep-waking cycle are quite similar to those in man.
