The Gathering Storm

Jamshid Amouzegar was appointed prime minister on 7 August 1977. The year Amouzegar was at the helm saw a transformation in the anti-shah forces and their strategy that required political response. The opening of the political space had enabled the left, resulted in sporadic armed struggle, and the Islamists, although more or less contained since the attempt on the shah in 1965, were able to achieve a political mass based in universities and mosques, respectively. All this resulted in an evolutionary history that remained mostly nebulous and seemingly marginal. In 1977, however, what the shah called the alliance of the red and the black began to gel, moving from the shadows into the open. The date 8 September 1978 marked a tragedy for the regime. The Islamists had scored a coup with the Cinema Rex arson in Abadan. The opposition moved from demonstrating on the outside to attacking the regime from within its paraphernalia of governance.

Improving ant colony optimization algorithm with epsilon greedy and Levy flight

Abstract Ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is a meta-heuristic and reinforcement learning algorithm, which has been widely applied to solve various optimization problems. The key to improving the performance of ACO is to effectively resolve the exploration/exploitation dilemma. Epsilon greedy is an important and widely applied policy-based exploration method in reinforcement learning and has also been employed to improve ACO algorithms as the pseudo-stochastic mechanism. Levy flight is based on Levy distribution and helps to balance searching space and speed for global optimization. Taking advantage of both epsilon greedy and Levy flight, a greedy–Levy ACO incorporating these two approaches is proposed to solve complicated combinatorial optimization problems. Specifically, it is implemented on the top of max–min ACO to solve the traveling salesman problem (TSP) problems. According to the computational experiments using standard TSPLIB instances, greedy–Levy ACO outperforms max–min ACO and other latest TSP solvers, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

The Imperial Crisis, Rebellion, and the Viceroy: Nueva Granada in 1809

ANTONIO AMAR Y BORBON, Viceroy of Nueva Granada i(1803-1810), is chiefly remembered as an official ejected from office on July 20, 1810, by the people of Santafe de Bogota. At the time he was old, hard of hearing, unimpressive in person, and rather brusque as elderly generals are reputed to be. He distrusted undisciplined civilian gatherings. Understandably, he cuts a poor figure in Colombian historiography since severance of political ties between colony and mother country customarily leads to permanent deprecation of the overthrown officials. Amar was not a political leader by training. In view of the defense problems facing the empire, he was probably chosen for his office because of a creditable military career. Under the pressure of the grave imperial constitutional crisis initiated in 1808 by the French in Spain, the viceroy proved to be a vigorous discreet official who understood his mission and used intelligently the limited means at his disposal. The Quito rebellion of 1809 was the first calamity produced in the jurisdiction of the viceroyalty by the! imperial crisis. The nature of that rebellion and its impact on the viceroyalty of Nueva Granada was such that it exhausted the political resources of the viceregal government and brought on its collapse. This article proposes to relate the imperial crisis to the viceroyalty, state the motives and justifications of the Quito rebellion as reported from the scene, present the attitude of Granadians toward the rebellion, and describe the attempt of Amar to resolve the problems posed by the rebellion. Subversion, feared in Europe since 1789, had made little headway in Nueva Granada by 1808. Aroused by the spread of French revolutionary ideas in Europe, Spanish government officials responded promptly to signs of interest in the colonies. A number of investigations in the early 1790's brought notoriety to Antonio Narino, Francisco de Espejo, and others under the jurisdiction of the viceroyalty of Nueva Granada. The authorities established the fact of conspiracy among a very few and of discussion among intellectuals who were

Chapter 3. Roman Law In Medieval Russia

This chapter looks at the various views which have been advanced through the years on the question of Roman law influence on early Russian law. It focuses on pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet scholarship in Russia itself. The actual investigation could be compared to a criminal trial, where a charge is brought, the evidence is collected, and then investigated, whereupon a decision is reached. The chapter then addresses the question: which laws, in the context of this investigation, are to be considered as influencing, and as being influenced? It considers in a general way what is to be understood by influences of one legal system on another, and looks more closely at the 'evidence'. Next, the chapter is devoted to a critical examination of the arguments in favour of Roman and Byzantine legal influences on medieval Russian law, in light of the evidence. Finally it considers subsequent developments in Russian law.Keywords: Byzantine legal influences; medieval Russian law; Roman law

Behavioral modeling and linearization of a millimeter-wave power amplifier

The use of digital predistortion for linearizing a millimeter-wave power amplifier (PA) is investigated. A PA operating at 38 GHz is designed using an accurate non-quasi-static transistor model, taking into account both short- and long-term memory effects. A realistic test signal is then used for the identification of a nonlinear auto-regressive moving average (NARMA) behavioral model of the PA. The NARMA-based digital predistorter is then derived and formulated in terms of basic predistortion cells, especially suitable for efficient implementation in an FPGA. The performance of the predistortion solution is preliminarily assessed by means of computer simulations.

Comparative results of preoperative chemoradiotherapy and thermochemoradiotherapy for locally advanced laryngeal cancer.

The study is based on the results of treatment of 60 patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer (T3-4N0-3M0) exposed to combined treatment: 31 with preoperative chemoradiothera-py, 29 thermochemoradiotherapy. Radiotherapy was performed in the hyperfractionated mode: “1 Gy +1 Gy” (every 4-5 hours) 5 times a week to 30-40 Gy in total. Local hyperthermia was performed 2 times a week before the second fraction of radiotherapy in 3-4 sessions. Eight-day courses of chemotherapy were administered in the beginning of radiotherapy by scheme: vincristine (1. 4 mg/m2 per 1day), cisplatin (20 mg/m2 2, 3, 4 days), bleomycetin (10 mg/m2 5, 6 days), cyclophosphamide (200 mg/m2 7, 8 days). Surgical treatment was performed through 2,5 3 weeks after completion of radiotherapy. Local hyperthermia intensified the course of radiation reaction on the mucous of the larynx but not significant influenced on healing of surgical wounds. Thermochemoradiotherapy compared with chemoradiotherapy raised local relapse-free survival from 75 to 93% (p = 0. 07), regional, for a group of patients with stage N1-3 from 33 to 70%, N1-2 from 40 to 78% (p = 0. 1), loco -regional from 67 to 87% (p = 0. 04). Our findings suggest the necessity for further research on the use of thermochemoradiotherapy in combined treatment of patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer.

Migration of Cells With Immunoglobulin/c-myc Recombinations in Lymphoid Tissues of Mice

Recombinations between c-myc and immunoglobulin (Ig) sequences that typically occur in pristane-induced mouse plasmacytomas were detected in secondary lymphoid tissues from normal mice, chiefly in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. Based on the analysis of recombination sequences as clonotypic markers, migration of c-myc recombination-positive cells was observed between Peyer's patches and into the intestine. Treatment of plasmacytoma-susceptible BALB/cAn mice with pristane induced proliferation and migration of these cells into mesenteric lymph node, spleen, and oil granuloma within 7 days. Plasmacytoma-resistant strains of mice (DBA/2N, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6) differed in that (1) they harbored fewer clones (Ig/c-myc recombinations were detected in 33% of resistant mice versus 91% of BALB/cAn mice after pristane treatment); (2) Ig/c-myc-positive cells were rarely detected in the oil granuloma, and (3) c-myc recombined predominantly with the Ig α locus in BALB/cAn mice (72%), but with the Igμ locus in DBA/2N and in C57BL/6 (67%). The results demonstrate that normal mice generate a large number of lymphocytes with aberrant c-myc in intestinal tissues without developing tumors.

X‐ray spectrometry of backscattered radiation in angiography laboratories

This paper presents measured spectra of backscattered x-radiation, obtained while performing specific in vivo angiography procedures. The backscattered x-ray field was measured at carefully selected points in the room. It is shown that the spectral energy distribution of backscattered radiation in the room has the same trends for all the intervention procedures even if the medical procedures were different. In vivo measurement of the backscattered x-radiation can offer more data for finding solutions to reduce exposure of personnel performing cine-examinations or intervention in an angiography laboratory.

NITROGEN ASSIMILATION IN MYCORRHIZAS. I. PURIFICATION AND PROPERTIES OF THE NICOTINAMIDE ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHATE‐SPECIFIC GLUTAMATE DEHYDROGENASE OF THE ECTOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGUS <i>CENOCOCCUM GRANIFORME</i>

SUMMARY The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate‐specific glutamate dehydrogenase (L‐gluta‐mate: NADP + oxido‐reductase, ECI .4.1 .4) of the ectomycorrhizal Ascomycete Cenococcum graniforme was purified twofold to electrophoretic homogeneity. The native enzyme was shown to have a molecular weight of 320000 and to be composed of six identical subunits with a molecular weight of 48 000. The pH optimum for the animating reaction was 7.6 NADP‐GDH showed a negative co‐operativity with respect to ammonia ( K m1 :2mM, K m2 :8 mM). The K m values for α‐ketoglutarate and NADPH were 2 mM and 0.03 mM, respectively. The physical and kinetics properties of this enzyme are similar with those reported for NADP‐GDH of other fungi. Cross‐reactivity of a rabbit monospecific antiserum raised against the NADP‐GDH from Sphaerostilbe repens , a saprophytic Ascomycete, was tested against the enzyme of C. graniforme. The immunochemical homology of both enzymes are low suggesting that a substitution occurs in amino acid residue of the protein.

The cost of the Government's reforms of the financing of higher education - an update

1. This update sets out the information that has become available since our last report on the cost of the Government's reforms (Thompson et al, 2012) and considers some of the criticisms made of that report. By far the biggest change has been the announcement on 5 December by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that Government was to ‘abolish the cap on student numbers altogether’. Our first thoughts on this radical development are set out under the final heading ‐ ‘The Autumn Statement’. The other headings follow directly from our 2012 report, making four in all. They are:

Forensic Rhetoric and Racial Justice: Rhetorical Advocacy in<i>the Reason Why the Colored American Is Not in the World’s Columbian Exposition</i>

By turning to the case study of the 1893 pamphlet The Reason Why the Colored American is Not in the World’s Columbian Exposition, we identify forensic rhetoric as a critical, yet under-theorized, tool of racial justice advocacy. Written by Ida B. Wells, Frederick Douglass, Irvine Garland Penn, and Ferdinand Lee Barnett, The Reason Why challenged systemic exclusion and racial oppression by utilizing a forensic rhetoric characterized by a forensic persona, a substantive focus on past guilt, and an end goal of justice. We conclude by considering the possibilities of forensic rhetorical form in contemporary racial justice advocacy. We argue that the genre of forensic rhetoric can work with public audiences, not by enabling immediate justice, but by imagining possibilities new for justice and political being.

The Effects of Condensed Molasses Soluble on the Growth and Development of Rapeseed through Seed Germination, Hydroponics and Field Trials

Condensed molasses soluble (CMS) has been reported to be rich in mineral nutrients and organic matter. However, the potential of CMS as a new organic fertilizer for crops is poorly understood. In this study, we explored the effects of CMS on seed germination, plant growth and field production of Brassica napus through seed germination, hydroponics and field trials. The results demonstrated that a small amount of CMS (0.05 g L−1) on the basis of normal nutrient supply significantly increased plant biomass, root vigor and root development, and improved the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of shoot at the seedling growth stage. Nevertheless, a high concentration of CMS (0.2 g L−1) inhibited plant growth, root development, the activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), and elevated accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the shoot at the same stage. In the field, exogenous application of CMS as well as chemical fertilizers increased seed yield up to 20% compared with chemical fertilization only. Collectively, our results conclude that the appropriate amount of CMS could promote the growth and development of rapeseed at both seedling and mature stages. Hence, CMS may be used as a new potential organic fertilizer for crop production in the future.

Decline in industrial research: causes and cures

The lack of growth in U.S. research investment and the decline of industrial contribution to national basic and applied research during the last decade are viewed as threatening to U.S. competitiveness and to the future standard of living. Five causes for the present emphasis on development are identified as (1) a trend toward top management control, (2) the need to develop past research innovations, (3) erosion of corporate profits, (4) shifts in government support, regulation, and intervention, and (5) energy. Given the need for industrial research, the government must seek ways to change its policies on taxes, exports, regulations, and energy and must maintain a consistent policy in order to create a climate conducive to private risk-taking and investment. 12 references.

Hypoparathyroidism and Paget's Disease: The Effect of Parathyroid Hormone Administration

A unique patient with simultaneous idiopathic hypoparathyroidism and active Paget's disease is described. This patient demonstrated that endogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH) is not essential for bone resorption in this disease. Treatment with exogenous PTH resulted in restoration of serum calcium and phosphorus to normal and enhanced bone resorption as evidenced by increased urinary hydroxyproline and calcium excretion. A similar response to exogenous PTH was observed in a euparathyroid subject with Paget's disease in whom severe transient hypercalcemia was also produced. Blockade of PTH action by mithramycin therapy in the euparathyroid subject lowered urinary hydroxyproline excretion precipitously but also resulted in elevation of serum PTH which contributed to a secondary increase of urinary hydroxyproline. It was concluded that Paget's disease can be maintained despite deficiency of PTH but that activation of the Pagetic process can occur in the presence of increased PTH. The therapeutic implications of this responsiveness of Pagetic bone to PTH are discussed.

Does corporate internationalization contribute to companies’ operational efficiency? Evidence form Russian companies

Authors: Dmitry Y. Shcherbakov&#x0D; Corporate international diversification has become a widely used growth strategy. However, the majority of scientific researches insist on its value-destroying pattern. As most of these researches are focused on companies from the developed countries the experience of companies from developing countries remains fairly unexplored.The current paper proposes an estimation of internalization-performance relationship from operational efficiency prospect. The proposed model has been empirically tested on a sample of large Russian companies. The results identify a non-linear U-shape relationship between a degree of internationalization and companies’ return on capital employed. Overall for the majority of companies international diversification refers to diminish in operational efficiency.
