Going to the Cinema in Burkina Faso

This is a personal account by Mustapha Ouedgraogo, who was born and raised in Burkina Faso. For teaching purposes, it is an interesting glimpse into the cinemagoing experience of a young African boy and may lead to discussions around students recalling their own early experiences of cinemagoing, and considering how and why they differ.

Bernard Mandeville in Nabokov’s<i>Pale Fire</i>

SEVERAL Mandevils populate the pages of Vladimir Nabokov’s Pale Fire. In Kinbote’s commentary, we hear of two Barons Mandevil, the cousins Radomir (a ‘Zemblan patriot’) and Mirador (a ‘madman and traitor’).1 There are, moreover, at least two places in Zembla which bear the Mandevil name: a ‘Mandevil Forest’ as well as a ‘Mt. Mandevil’, both doubtless named for the noble family of the mirror-image cousins. Names in general bear a great significance in Pale Fire, and it is to be expected that even those of minor characters will carry multiple shades of meaning, often in connection with the novel’s many pairs of strange doubles. Radomir and Mirador present a clear example of this. And yet within Nabokov scholarship, little attention has been given to the source of the name Mandevil itself: there is, for example, no mention of any Mandevil in Brian Boyd’s book-length monograph on Pale Fire.2 Nonetheless, a few brief references to Mandevil offer some possibilities. A number of commentators, prominently including Mary McCarthy, have suggested one possible source: the pseudonymous author of The Travels of Sir John Mandeville. McCarthy argues for this connection on the grounds that the fourteenth-century travelogue was written by a ‘medieval impostor and author of a book on voyages who posed as an English knight’, and consequently connects to Kinbote as an émigré, a fantasist, and a fraudulent claimant to a noble title.3

Bibliometric profile of the doctoral thesis at the Faculty of Medicine of Sousse (Tunisia).

The doctoral dissertation in SOFM was characterized by the orientation towards clinical and epidemiological research and the preference for general medicine and community health themes. It's often recourse to a basic research estimate and its writing in French would be two factors limiting its scientific promotion and its social influence.

Sleep in Young and Old Rats

Five young rats, age 152--175 days, and six old rats, age 782--801 days, all of the F-344 strain, were compared by electronic methods for amplitude of slow wave activity during sleep and for other sleep parameters. Unlike humans, who show a pronounced loss of slow wave activity with advanced age, no significant difference in delta activity could be detected between young and old rats. Several hypotheses about the species difference were reviewed. Young and old rats, however, did show several differences in other sleep parameters which parallel those observed in humans. These age-related changes were a moderate decrease in the percent of total sleep time spent in paradoxical sleep, a decrease in the length of sleep bouts, an increase in the number of sleep bouts, and a decrease in the amplitude of the diurnal rhythm of sleep.

Optimum Experimental Designs for Choosing Between Competitive and Non Competitive Models of Enzyme Inhibition

In the study of the inhibition of enzyme reactions the Michaelis–Menten model is extended to include two experimental variables and three or more parameters. We combine the three-parameter models for competitive and non competitive inhibition in a four-parameter model and use optimum design theory to find D- and Ds-optimum designs for discriminating between the models. These designs are compared with compound T-optimum designs which provide the most powerful tests for discrimination between models. A single design is found with high discrimination efficiency whichever model is true.

Development of cambioxylophagous insect fauna on blue spruce after chemical thinning

Chemical thinning performed in stands of blue spruce ( Picea pungens ) in air-polluted areas of the Ore Mountains does not pose a significant threat of sub-bark pest outbreaks. Application of the herbicide Roundup in autumn and in spring caused dieback of the treated trees where mainly Hylurgops palliatus became active and completed its development. Pests Ips amitinus and Pityogenes chalcographus died mostly at larval stage, despite their high abundance. Cryphalus abietis completed its development only on thicker branches and was not able to occupy tops of trees due to fast dieback of phloem. Quality of phloem was strongly affected by the speed of defoliation.

Hypertension in the Elderly

Hypertension is a common finding in patients aged over 60 years, but the following questions need answering. How dangerous is it? Will lowering the blood pressure reduce the attendant risks? What is the 'cost' of such treatment in terms of side effects, drug-induced disease and health service finance? Two recently completed trials throw light on these problems: EWPHE (European Working Party on Hypertension in the Elderly), a European study based on hospital-clinic attenders, using a diuretic backed up with methyldopa; and HEP (randomized trial of treatment of Hypertension in Elderly Patients in Primary Care), based on general-practice screening in England and Wales using atenolol and bendrofluazide. The results of these trials were compared and the findings were broadly similar in the two studies. Some of the differences may be due to the different selection of patients. It is concluded that elderly patients with sustained blood pressures greater or equal to 170/90 mmHg would benefit from treatment by substantial reduction of stroke. Diuretics or beta-blockers, alone or together, are acceptable treatments in elderly subjects.

Suggested observational network for simulation of cloud processes during INDOEX

The nature of precipitating cloud systems, their life cycles and vertical structure over the monsoon regime is poorly understood. Some of the results obtained from the single column model and a cloud ensemble model using the TOGA-COARE (Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment) data set are illustrated. The scope of comparing large-scale cloud fields such as cloud fractions, outgoing long-wave radiation, etc. from the global general circulation models are discussed.

Development of secure Internet applications for governmental environments

The translation of public administrative procedures to the Internet would produce important benefits in the accessibility efficiency and transparency of interaction, and especially in the satisfaction of citizens. It would also produce important economic benefits because of the reduction in the costs of those procedures (paper forms, human processing, time, etc.). But the potential advances that Internet could introduce in the relations between citizens and governmental administration have not been fully realized because of the lack of mechanisms to provide confidentiality, authenticity, nonrepudiation and other important security services in a global scale. We examine the security features of Project Alcance. The Project has been included in the Spanish R&D Programme and is concerned with the electronic relations between private transport companies and the regional government of Andalucia.

Creating Spatial Information Infrastructures

Initiatives, such as INSPIRE and the US DHS Geospatial Data Model, are working to develop a rich set of standards that will create harmonized models and themes for the spatial information infrastructure. However, this is only the first step. Semantically meaningful models must still be developed in order to stimulate interoperability. Creating Spatial Information Infrastructures (SII) presents solutions to the problems preventing the launch of a truly effective SII. Leading experts in SII development present a complete overview of SII, including user and application needs, theoretical and technological foundations, and examples of realized working SIIs. The book includes semantic applications in each discussion and explains their importance to the future of geo-information standardization. Offering practical solutions to technical and nontechnical obstacles, this book provides the tools needed to take the next step toward a working semantic webone that will revolutionize the way the world accesses and utilizes spatial information.

Notizen: Improved 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine, Thin Layer Chromatography Methods for the Determination of Micro- and Macroamounts of Ascorbic Acid

Microamounts of vitamin C could be readily determined in 20 μl-samples using the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine method together with separation by thin layer chromato­graphy. The condensation reaction was carried out for 5 min at 100 °C on a glass fibre disc. Purification of vitamin C hydrazones was accomplished by repeated separation on TLC plates. An aqueous solution of 65% acetic acid was em­ployed to dissolve the vitamin C hydrazones, providing maxi­mal absorbance at 500 nm. The minimum amount detectable by this method is 0.4 μg of dehydroascorbic acid. The macrodetermination of vitamin C was improved by simpli­fying a previous method and employing 65% aqueous acetic acid as a solvent for the hydrazones.

Equine peripheral and infundibular dental caries: A review and proposals for their investigation

Summary Several different theories on the aetiology of dental caries have been proposed, but it is generally accepted that it is primarily caused by acidogenic microorganisms converting fermentable carbohydrates to acids. There is still some discussion on whether caries is caused by specific microorganisms or a nonspecific mix of different microorganisms and on whether caries is a classical infection or is caused by dysregulation of the normal oral bacteria (dysbiosis). Two types of dental caries are recognised in horses, i.e. peripheral dental caries and infundibular dental caries, with peripheral caries appearing to be increasingly recognised. Little is known about the prevalence and severity of peripheral dental caries in the general equine population, or the risk factors and microorganisms involved in its aetiopathogenesis. Limited pathological studies have shown 2 types of cemental destruction in equine peripheral caries, and indicate that gross dental examination underestimates the severity of equine peripheral caries.

SpecSims: A Scalable Speculative Tree-based Simulation Cloning Framework for Finite Memory Machines

Simulation cloning is a technique in which cloned simulations whose state spaces differ partially from their parent simulation due to intervening events are spawned at runtime and concurrently advanced. It is a powerful method to carry out what-if analysis by speculatively exploring and evaluating the impact of various permutations of intervening cascade of events. Due to the exponential growth in the number of possible clones even for a small number of distinct intervening events, the practical efficacy of the approach is often severely limited by the maximum available memory of the computing host. In this paper, we introduce a novel speculative simulation cloning framework that executes a simulation cloning campaign capable of efficiently exploring an exponentially large space of clone simulations created by permutation of intervening events under a finite memory constraint. We provide a theoretical analysis of the runtime characteristics of our proposed approach and highlight its novel advantages such as memory-aware and as-long-as-needed execution. In support of our analytical findings and to demonstrate its practical feasibility, we implement a prototype of the cloning framework on a shared memory system and report its performance characteristics in the context of a heat diffusion simulation, and a power grid simulation subject to cascading disruptions from geomagnetic disturbances.

Impact and Implications of Word-Finding Difficulties in Adolescents on Listening Comprehension Assessment

This investigation examined the listening comprehension (LC) performance of two groups of adolescent struggling readers, one group with word-finding difficulties (WFD) and one with no word-finding difficulties (NWFD). Of interest was whether the expressive language difficulties of the WFD group would interfere with their success on a LC assessment that requires oral responses to complete. Findings indicated that whereas the performance of the WFD group was comparable with the NWFD group when LC was measured using a multiple-choice response format, their performance was significantly poorer when LC was measured using an open-ended verbal response format, suggesting that learners’ WFD could interfere with their success on such assessments. Practical implications of these findings for the assessment of LC as part of adolescents’ reading evaluations are discussed.

Research on HCPCF SERS Sensing for Melamine Qualitative Detection

In the face of the current urgent food safety situation, the qualitative detection of trace amounts of illegal food additives is of great significance. The Hollow Core Photonic Crystal Fiber Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (HCPCF SERS) based sensing system was proposed to achieve qualitative detection of melamine. The system adopted the reverse-direction light collection scheme, and the silver SERS substrate was produced by ion sputtering, and the PCF taper was selectively filled, and the output signal was collected by the spectrometer. The proposed system was utilized to detect melamine liquid sample qualitatively, the distinct SERS spectrum of melamine was acquired, and the detection limit is 0.25 g/L. The experimental results showed that the sensing system can achieve trace qualitative detection of melamine.

The impact of product variety on logistics performance

We study the impact of product variety on the performance of a simple integrated production-distribution system equivalent to the stochastic economic lot-scheduling problem. We show that, keeping the total demand constant, the expected cost of inventories and backorders increases linearly with the number of products. This result is contrary to the conventional wisdom—based on pooling economies—whereby the expected cost would increase as the square root of the number of products. The linear relationship stems from the increase in replenishment lead time induced by an increase in product variety. In a systematic simulation study we show the phenomenon to be quite robust, as it does not depend on load, flexibility, or processing variability. 1

Maximizing dynamic range of microwave kinetic inductance detectors through high-speed tone tracking

Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) operate through means of a superconducting resonator that changes resonant frequency and quality factor when incident photons are absorbed in the superconducting material. Incident power on MKIDs is determined by reading out the phase and amplitude of a tone injected into each detector. However, if the incident power on an MKID changes too drastically and the resonant frequency moves too far from the probe tone, amplitude information becomes useless and the detector is effectively out of commission until a VNA sweep is used to relocate resonances. Here we present the designs and preliminary results of a tone-tracking firmware that uses phase information to maintain an on-resonance probe tone at all times, removing the need for time-intensive VNA sweeps during observations and effectively maximizing the dynamic range of MKIDs. We will conclude with a discussion on future NASA missions that hope implement this tone-tracking design.
