Soldier recruitment, experienced and understood through the prism of consumer capitalism and narratives about fraud, forced northern families to create new circulations of credit and capital that connected army camps and distant homes. Some soldiers sought to build on this source of credit to speculate for more individ... |
One promising management strategy for mosquito control is the utilization of a mixture of L. sphaericus and B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis insecticidal toxins. From this set, Bin and Cyt1Aa toxins synergize and display toxicity to resistant C. quinquefasciatus and to A. aegypti larvae, whose midgut cells lack Bin ... |

students often find it difficult to understand the chemical principles |
underlying liquid-liquid extractions. Explanations on how extractions work at |
the molecular level in textbook and internet resources are plentiful, but |
students still do not seem able to grasp how extractions work before having to |
perform the technique in a laboratory course. To address this difficulty in |
understanding, we developed an Extraction on Paper Activity. We envision this |
activity as a tool to help students understand and apply the chemical |
principles underlying liquid-liquid extractions outside of and before entering |
into a laboratory setting.Michael additions versus cycloaddition condensations with ethyl nitroacetate and electron-deficient olefins. |
Ethyl nitroacetate (1) reacts with electron-poor olefins in the presence of a base to give either the Michael adducts 3 or the isoxazoline cycloadducts 4, resulting from water elimination. The proportions of the two products depend on the reaction conditions and change in the course of the process. Kinetic profiles for... |
Considering a coordinate-free formulation of helical symmetry rather than more traditional definitions based on coordinates, we discuss basic properties of helical vector fields and compare results from the literature obtained with other approaches. In particular, we discuss the role of the stream function for the topo... |
In the method described here, the intersection point of the ’’Davisson lines’’ determines the emission constant A, the anode work function (wf) φa, and the cathode wf φ (T). The Davisson lines are defined by ln(ir/Tκ) =lnA+e (V−φa)/ kT, where ir is the current density in the retarding‐field range, T is the absolute cat... |
The results of studies of a co-carcinogenic effect of two human infectious viruses in tissue culture are reported here. Viable vaccinia virus actively replicating in the cells of primary BALB/c tissue culture and in a number of continuous murine cell lines has been shown to induce in them expression of major structural... |

In this article, the author attempts to clarify the law on the issue of whether a signed offer is a “sufficient writing" to satisfy the statute of frauds requirement. The article seeks to demonstrate that much of the confusion among contract law treatises regarding this issue stems from the writers sometimes failing to... |
Cartwheel neurons from the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) are glycinergic interneurons and the primary source of inhibition on the fusiform neurons, the principal excitatory neuron in the DCN. Most cartwheel neurons present spontaneous firing (active neurons), producing a steady inhibitory tone on fusiform neurons. In c... |

The thin SiC filament technique has been employed to identify the possibility of measuring flame temperature, and especially the inner flame temperature, by comparing the relative visible (non-IR) luminosities of SiC filaments with temperature measured in coflowing, laminar propane/air diffusion flames. The results sho... |
Northern children have been increasingly referred to as competent, participative and influential, called on to protect and produce certain life at times of climate risks. Child–adult relations and the required transition to adulthood are thus transformed by a re-configured ‘biopolitics’. We trace how various collaborat... |
Ubiquitous sensor networks gain tremendous popularity nowadays with practical applications such as detection of natural disasters. These applications collect real-time data about the atmospheric measurements from sensors that are installed in the field. In this paper we argue that traditional data mining methods run sh... |
The seventeenth century opened with a bang, literally. In the year 1600, on the first Friday in the season of Lent, sometime between noon and 3:00 PM (that is, at the hour of the accustomed Lenten penitential processions), the Peruvian volcano of Huaynapudna began a protracted series of explosions and eruptions. It was... |
S U M M A R Y We investigate a long series of small earthquakes (magnitude < 3) with annual cycles between 2004 and 2010 that occurred in the northeastern Paraná Basin, Brazil. These events were attributed to pore pressure increase in a fractured aquifer caused by the drilling of several water wells down to depths of ∼... |
Forms of peritonitis are the most problematic infections in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis since they can jeopardise the technique. Current treatment includes administering vancomycin, cephalosporins and aminoglycosides empirically until the cause of the infection is known. However, the current situation with ... |
This paper examines the utilization of surface temperature as a variable to be assimilated in offline land surface hydrological models. Comparisons between the model computed and satellite observed surface temperatures have been carried out. The assimilation of surface temperature is carried out twice a day (correspond... |
A phenomenological model was developed to explain quantitatively, without free parameters, the production of primary defects in silicon after particle irradiation, the kinetics of their evolution toward equilibrium and their influence on detector parameters. The type of the projectile particle and its energy is conside... |
Alkylated guanidinium compounds exhibit microbiocidal activity in marine environments, yet the mode of action of these compounds has not been defined. A comprehensive chemical-genetic approach in budding yeast was used to define the biological processes affected by these compounds. N-Butyl-N'-decylguanidinium and N-hex... |
The fatty acid composition and positioning in the glycerophospholipids from regenerating rat liver were investigated at different stages of the regeneration process. In the lecithins and phosphatidylethanolamines of the regenerating liver the content of arachidonic acid is lower and that of linoleic acid is higher than... |
Mathematical models of lymphopoietic variations in mammals exposed to acute and chronic irradiation have been developed. They are based on the cheilone theory of hemopoiesis regulation. The models are systems of 9 nonlinear differential equations. They give a qualitative and quantitative description of lymphocytes in p... |
In order to reduce the time and memory consumption of frequent itemsets mining in stream data, and weaken the impact of historical transactions on data patterns, this paper proposes a frequent itemsets mining algorithm SWFIUT-stream based on sliding decay time window. In this algorithm, the time attenuation factor is i... |
The role of gamma delta T cells in the immunopathology of Chagas' disease is evaluated by monitoring the course of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in mice lacking gamma delta T cells after disruption of the T-cell receptor C delta locus.

The goal of this paper is to propose an FPGA using emerging non volatile technologies for its configuration memory. Studies on magnetic memories have already been carried out (Bruchon et al., 2006) but solid electrolyte and phase change memories are also good candidates for such type of application. Features of these t... |
Vaginal epithelial cells (VECs) are thought to function as immune‐responsive cells in trichomoniasis, and mast cells have been detected in vaginal smears and the vaginal wall in trichomoniasis. It therefore seemed possible that the VEC‐trichomonad reaction might affect the activity of mast cells present in the lamina p... |
Bacterial blight was observed on field-grown guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) for the first time in China. The disease outbreak occurred in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region after several weeks of unusually heavy rains during late summer 2013. The disease incidence was generally 40 to 50%, although values as high ... |

Effective communication is fundamental to successful health care service delivery, and has a positive impact on access, quality of care, health outcomes, and patient satisfaction. Although there are a growing number of New Zealanders who do not speak English proficiently, underutilisation of trained interpreter service... |
AIMS |
To describe the pattern of interpreter service need and utilisation by general practice services, and to identify key barriers and enabling factors to the use of trained interpreters. |
METHODS |
A mixed methods study was employed. Census and Partnership Health Canterbury Te Kei o Te Waka (PHC) databases were combined, and quantitative analysis used to derive interpreter service need and utilisation patterns. Transcripts of focus groups and interviews from general practitioners, practice nurses and practice adm... |
RESULTS |
For the years 2008-2010, approximately 10 742 consultations per year involved a non-Englishspeaking patient, yet in only approximately 74.8 (0.7%) consultations per year were interpreter services utilised. Analysis of focus groups and interviews identified four global themes that represented barriers for interpreter se... |
DISCUSSION |
The current use of interpreter services in PHC general practice appears to be significantly less than the need. In order to maximise health outcomes and reduce risk, strategies must be initiated to counter the barriers currently inhibiting interpreter service use, including adopting best practice policies.Characterizat... |
We have measured the response of chromium-doped alumina screens to vacuum ultraviolet radiation and derived quantum efficiency curves for the energy range from 30 to 300 eV. A model is presented to explain the structure in this curve. In addition, the radiation hardness of such screens, which have found application as ... |
