When I moved into my art studios in Holborn in 2017, I started by making some large charcoal diary drawings. I loved making these works with the mess and control of charcoal, making marks, erasing them, building up form, and carving out sharp edges. In this series of drawings, I intertwined text and image, life and art history, my own experiences and those of my son, Harry, then three years old. The themes of my artwork include annunciations, the Moscow circus and pedalos on The Serpentine.


Because failures in distribution systems caused by extreme weather events directly result in consumers' outages, this paper proposes a state-based decision-making model with the objective of mitigating loss of load to improve the distribution system resilience throughout the unfolding events. The sequentially uncertain system states, e.g., feeder line on/off states, driven by the unfolding events are modeled as Markov states, and the probabilities from one Markov state to another Markov state th

This article presents dual norm-constraint correntropy beamforming methods for standard hexagonal array (SHA) to mitigate the effects of alpha stable noise and maintain the sparsity of filter coefficients. Both goals are achieved simultaneously through the use of norm regularization constraint and the novel convex combination technique. Firstly, we construct constrained optimization equations considered the constraints present in the constrained least-mean-square (CLMS) algorithm by incorporatin


Abstract Since the publication of In Search of Lost Time ( A la recherche du temps perdu ) (1913–1927) Marcel Proust has been regarded as a herald of modernity, and his work has belonged to the canon of world literature since the middle of the twentieth century. The reception of In Search of Lost Time among readers in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Latin America testifies to the plasticity of the text. Indeed, one may ask if the text is eventually lost in favor of an image of a writer cal


Abstract Objective Biased attention for disorder‐relevant information plays a crucial role in the maintenance of different mental disorders including eating disorders and might be of use to define recovery beyond symptom‐related criteria. Method We assessed attention deployment using eye tracking in a cued choice viewing paradigm to two different categories of disorder‐relevant stimuli in 24 individuals with acute anorexia nervosa (AN), 20 weight‐recovered individuals with a history of AN (WRAN)


Accurate skin lesion segmentation plays an important role in the computer aided analysis of melanoma. It is a challenging task due to the variation of skin lesion appearance, the low contrast with background, and the existence of the artifacts in dermoscopic images. In this paper, we try to boost the skin lesion segmentation performance based on the fully convolutional neural network. To this end, we first propose an enhanced high-level parsing (EHP) module to generate meaningful feature represe

Conventional lighting booths with custom standard fluorescent lights are used in industry for testing and quality control of color materials. In this study, we constructed a lighting booth based on an LED spectrally tunable light source (LSTL) that implemented a simple forced air-cooling system. The LSTL was composed of a UV-LED, single color LED, and quasi-yellow LED to cover the wavelength range from 340 to 800 nm. To compensate for the lack of appropriate green LEDs in the wavelength range fr


Abstract Objective The low pre‐ and intraoperative diagnostic rates in follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) often lead to inadequate surgical resection and necessitate further completion surgery. Therefore, the preoperative prediction of FTC in thyroid nodules is essential. Design and Patient Patients were categorized into two data sets: the modelling data set, which included 3649 patients admitted to our centre between January 2014 and December 2016, and the validation data set, which included 12


Abstract Repeated firings can affect the quality of the porcelain color. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of repeated firings on the color changes of porcelain‐fused‐metal restorations that are manufactured using different methods. A total of 60 cylindrical shaped cobalt–chromium alloys (Ø = 10 mm and h = 1.5 mm) were fabricated using casting (C), milling (M), direct metal laser sintering with and without annealing (EL+, EL‐), and selective laser melting with and without annea


Root foraging may increase plant nutrient acquisition at the cost of reducing the total volume of soil explored, thereby reducing the chance of the roots encountering additional patches. Patches in soil seldom contain just one nutrient: the patch may also have distinct textural, hydrological, and toxicological characteristics. We sought to determine the characteristics of root foraging by a pioneering species, <i>Leptospermum scoparium</i>, using pot trials and rhizobox experiments with patches


Numerous important events happen everyday and everywhere but are reported in different media sources with different narrative styles. How to detect whether real-world events have been reported in articles and posts is one of the main tasks of event extraction. Other tasks include extracting event arguments and identifying their roles, as well as clustering and tracking similar events from different texts. As one of the most important research themes in natural language processing and understandi


Objective: While the randomized control clinical trial (RCT) has long been viewed as the “gold standard” for evidence based medicine, researchers and clinicians have also recognized limitations of RCTs when applied to clinical practice. These limitations arise from the fact that the results of interventions and procedures of RCTs conducted in controlled institutional settings often differ significantly from results obtained when the same interventions are applied in clinical practice. Consequent

Abstract Gamma accelerated degradation tests (ADT) are widely used to assess timely lifetime information of highly reliable products with degradation paths that follow a gamma process. In the existing literature, there is interest in addressing the problem of deciding how to conduct an efficient, ADT that includes determinations of higher stress‐testing levels and their corresponding sample‐size allocations. The existing results mainly focused on the case of a single accelerating variable. Howev


Electrospinning is growing as a production technology for many applications, particularly in membranes and tissue engineering. One challenge in electrospinning is the need for high molecular weight polymers, a requirement that often prevents formation of fibers with high proportions of functional materials that may include particles, surfactants, cells, etc. Molecular interactions between lower molecular weight polymers or molecules can provide similar cohesion in the electrospinning jet as enta


Abstract. The spread of informal employment is a natural response to the significant lag behind the development of legal institutions of state power. A number of hypotheses concerning the functioning of informal employment are considered. So, the functioning of informal employment is related to the backwardness of the country, with the economic periphery or with the shelter for those who can not legally work. The article deals with main scientific approaches to the study of the problems of infor

There is a gap today in funding for investment in developing countries. A recent assessment of financing in the agriculture sector in Ghana based on existing financial sector laws showed that, there is currently no distinct policy to enable lending to the agricultural sector. However, with an ever increasing need to address the challenges of climate change, the need for such policies and resulting finance opportunities for smallholder farmers and other supply chain actor will only increase and b


Member countries of United Nations were required to meet the set  targets of Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. These goals were  fixed in 2015 across 17 sectors. India took promising steps in meeting  these goals but still remains a long way off its targets. The SDG India  Index data compiled by Niti Aayog in 2019 show that of the 104 sub  indicators measured for the 17 SDG, India has only met 6 targets so far.  India stunted progress seems to have been due to wider gaps among states.  Have


This article provides an overview of the diverse and principle dimensions of transnationalism in Indian (or, more properly, South Asian) music culture. These include: the international interest, especially since around the 1960s, in South Asian musics, such as Hindustani music, qawwali, and Bollywood music; the growth of diasporic populations–from descendants of nineteenth-century indentured workers to Punjabi bhangra enthusiasts in the UK, with their own consumption, performance, and, in some c


Polyethylene glycol (PEG) assembled on the surface of two-dimensional tungsten disulfide (WS2) into a limited number of nanoislands (NIs), nanoshells (NSs), and granular nanoparticulates (GNPs) depending on its chain length. NI assemblies showed a nonmeasurable shift of photoluminescence (PL) and the A and B absorption peaks of WS2. This confirmed that the electronic doping by thiol is not effective. The PEG NS assembly displayed a smaller red shift of the PL and a slight d

The emerging Cloud of Things (CoT) paradigm promises to meet the diverse requirements of many real-world applications, which previously could not be fulfilled by either Cloud Computing or Internet of Things (IoT). Trading CoT resources is a challenging aspect particularly when managing Quality of Service (QoS) as resource providers and application developers have different priorities. This paper focuses on the challenge of supporting QoS when trading CoT resources and performing resource allocat


This paper investigates the importance of positive word-of-mouth (WOM) effects on estimating the customer lifetime value (CLV) in start-up businesses. In line with prior research, we assume that, especially in young companies such as start-ups, managers and investors neglect the impact of WOM and therefore underestimate the CLV. To examine this assumption, self-collected WOM data is integrated into calculation of the CLV of a one-yearold online grocery retailer start-up. The CLV of 632 customers

This paper empirically analyzes the relationship between oil and non-oil commodity prices and China's PPI and CPI. I show that the influences of oil and non-oil commodity price shocks on China's PPI and CPI are not totally the same, and are crucially connected with the underlying causes of price changes. Specifically, for oil prices, I find aggregate demand and specific demand shocks have significant effects on PPI, but these effects fail to be transmitted to CPI. Meanwhile, oil prices can predi

This chapter makes readers to gain knowledge on the properties of de Broglie's plane waves and on the physical contents of Heisenberg's uncertainty relations. It makes the connection between light wave–particle duality and matter wave–particle duality, and distinguishes between light wave dispersion relation and matter wave dispersion relation. The chapter also provides an interpretation of the experiments of Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer, and explains the physical contents of Heisenberg's


The World Health Organization encourages a “gender transformative” paradigm for preventing violence against women and girls. Gender transformative interventions engage men and boys to reflect critically on—and then to challenge and change—gender-inequitable attitudes and behaviors. To interpret the mixed findings of research evaluating such programs, we review the “social norms” model that informs the paradigm. We bolster the paradigmatic conceptualization of social norms through insights about

Latter-day Saints who know of William W. Phelps tend to associate him with the hymns that he wrote. In fact, the words in the title of Bruce A. Van Orden’s biography, “We’ll Sing and We’ll Shout,” are taken from one of his most famous hymns, “The Spirit of God.” As influential as his hymns have been to Latter-day Saints then and now, Phelps contributed much more than that in his efforts to build the Church. Van Orden’s book is a detailed biography of this interesting and influential writer and C


Abstract The article’s aim is to discuss the Swedish autobiographical novel Huset vid Flon by Kjell Johansson as an example of the self-conscious narration (in Wayne C. Booth’s understanding). The grown-up narrator, who admits to being a professional writer, presents a retrospective of his childhood on Stockholm suburbs in the 1940s and 50s. He constructs his narration before the reader’s eyes, involves him/her in a dialogue, explains the employed narrative devices and plays the role of a guide

The European Commission (EC) has set ambitious CO2 emission reduction objectives for the transport sector by 2050. In this context, most decarbonisation scenarios for transport foresee large market penetration of electric vehicles in 2030 and 2050. The emergence of electrified car mobility is, however, uncertain due to various barriers such as battery costs, range anxiety and dependence on battery recharging networks. Those barriers need to be addressed in the 2020–2030 decade, as this is key to

The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) invites manuscript submissions in Photonic Antennas.Early attempts in developing Photonic Antennas can be traced back to the 1990's with the design and fabrication of micrometer-scale infrared and visible light antennas.From that time on, interest in this emerging research field has expanded rapidly, with growing sophistication of designs enabled by advancements in the micro and nanofabrication technology.In the last ten years or


Predictions of the primary breakup of fuel in realistic fuel spray nozzles for aero-engine combustors by means of the SPH method are presented. Based on the simulations, novel insights in the fundamental effects of primary breakup are established by analyzing the dynamics of Lagrangian-Coherent Structures (LCS). An inhouse visualization and data exploration platform is used in order to retrieve fields of the Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) derived from the SPH predictions aiming at the iden


The 3-dimension coordinate datum transformation is very important in geomatics. Generally, there are small angle coordinate transformation model (i.e., Bursa model, et al) and large angle coordinate transformation model (i.e., Rodrigo matrix model, et al). However, these papers only focus on the fixed and static situation regardless of the small or large angle. This paper proposes the conception of coordinate transformation gradient field,which can realize the space coordinate transformation fro


Integrated information theory (IIT) describes consciousness as information integrated across highly differentiated but irreducible constituent parts in a system. However, in a complex dynamic system such as the brain, the optimal conditions for large integrated information systems have not been elucidated. In this study, we hypothesized that network criticality, a balanced state between a large variation in functional network configuration and a large constraint on structural network configurati


Dall’occidente nostro, le sponde del Mediterraneo che lambiscono la Siria e la Palestina, ovvero la ‘terra santa’ e l’Egitto sino al confine con la Libia sono definite da secoli orientali; ma è bene ricordare che questo è solo l’orientamento stabilito ‘ex Occidente’, e che per i primi abitanti della Babilonia, invece, questo mare sarebbe stato il “Mar Superiore”, confine del mondo allora conosciuto, mentre per noi, che oggi lo possiamo osservare dall’alto, è la punta di una mezzaluna rovescia


This chapter considers the relationship sport fans that have with both sport-related films and digital games. It also considers some possible explanations as to why the genre of sport has proved more successful in digital games than in film. Sport continues to be a hugely popular and successful genre and subject for many media formats, such as television and print media. Comparing the relative 'success' of sport as a genre of digital games to that in film proves quite complicated. The use of nar


Milk and its derivatives are good substrates for the proliferation of pathogenic and quality-deteriorating microorganisms, demanding rigorous care with milking, processing, and storage. Among the various bacteria that can grow in raw refrigerated milk, Yersinia enterocolitica, is an invasive enteropathogen of humans. This bacterium can cause a number of intestinal and extraintestinal clinical symptoms, ranging from mild gastroenteritis to mesenteric lymphadenitis, similar to appendicitis. To eva

Machine Type Communications (MTC) supports various Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications and Internet of Things (IoT) services, where the energy efficiency is a key issue. In addition, because the number of IoT devices is rapidly growing, the improvement of the quality of service (QoS) becomes necessary. Many studies investigated the trade-off between the power consumption and the QoS, but did not improve the both at the same time. In this paper, we propose an scheduling algorithm assisted by a

We demonstrate coupled bulk and surface acoustic wave (BAW/SAW) resonators with significantly improved coupling efficiency as compared to SAW only devices. Two sets of stacks are investigated: one uses a thin film piezoelectric material with a bottom electrode on GaN substrate (i.e., AlN/Mo/GaN) and another includes a piezoelectric thin film with bottom metal on a Si substrate (i.e., AlN/Mo/Si). A vibrating BAW transducer induces a SAW in the substrate and between two sets of interdigitated tran


Ist Russland ein neoimperialistischer Staat, der seine Nachbarn drangsaliert oder bloß das unschuldige Opfer westlichen Expansionsdranges? Weder das eine noch das andere, so argumentiert Martin Aust, denn in den aufgeheizten Debatten der Gegenwart wird unterschätzt, dass Russland seit 1991 in einem postimperialen Raum agiert, der zuvor über Jahrhunderte vom sowjetischen und zaristischen Imperium beherrscht wurde.


근대 역사학은 과학의 한 분과로 정립될 목적으로 연구 범위를 문자 사료가 남아 있는 과거로 한정했다. 그러다 보니 역사학이 연구하는 과거의 범위는 5,000년을 넘지 못한다. 이에 반해 과학은 호모 사피엔스의 탄생은 물론 빅뱅으로까지 소급해서 과거에 대한 지식을 확장했다. 역사학이 축소지향형으로 연구의 대상을 좁혔던 반면, 과학은 확대지향형으로 연구 범위를 확장했다. 이런 역설을 극복하기 위해 과학의 지식을 기반으로 인류의 과거를 가장 큰 범위로 넓혀서 역사를 탐구할 목적으로 등장한 것이 빅 히스토리다. 빅 히스토리는 인문학과 과학의 ‘두 문화’를 통합하는 윌슨이 말하는 ‘통섭’을 대표한다. 하지만 데이비드 크리스천이 창시한 모든 것의 기원을 탐구하는 빅 히스토리는 ‘인간 없는 역사’로 서술되기 때문에 재미가 없을 뿐만 아니라 인문학적인 성찰이 빈곤하다. 이런 기원론적 빅 히스토리의 한계를 극복하게 해 주는 대안적 모델이 유발 하라리가 썼던 종말론적 빅 히스토리다. 인공지능 시대 인


Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder whose late diagnosis is based on subjective tests. In seeking for earlier diagnosis, we aimed to find objective biomarkers via analysis of resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) images obtained from the Autism Brain Image Data Exchange (ABIDE) database. Thus, we estimated brain functional connectivity (FC) between pairs of regions as the statistical dependence between their neural-related blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BO


In educational policy research, linking specific practices to specific outcomes is an important goal, which can bias researchers toward employing purely quantitative methods.Given the context-specific nature of policy implementation in education, however, we argue that understanding how specific practices lead to specific outcomes in specific conditions or contexts is critical to improving education.Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a method of qualitative research that we argue can help

Current methods for estimation of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) of the liver using magnitude magnetic resonance (MR) imaging face the challenge of correctly estimating it when fat is the dominant molecule; i.e., PDFF is more than 50%. Therefore, the accuracy of the methods is limited to half-range operation. We introduce a method based on neural networks for regression capable of estimating over the full range of fat fractions. We built a neural network based on the angles and distances bet


The idea that morality depends on God is a widely held belief. This belief entails that the moral “facts” could be otherwise because, in principle, God could change them. Yet, some moral propositions seem so obviously true (e.g., the immorality of killing someone just for pleasure) that it is hard to imagine how they could be otherwise. In two experiments, we investigated people’s intuitions about the immutability of moral facts. Participants judged whether it was even possible, or possible for


Background The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) is a 6‐tier diagnostic category system with associated risks of malignancy (ROMs) and management recommendations. Submandibular gland fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) is uncommon with a higher frequency of inflammatory lesions and a higher relative proportion of malignancy, and this may affect the ROM and subsequent management. This study evaluated the application of the MSRSGC and the ROM for each diagnostic category fo

The Norwegian government has made an agreement with Juan Manuel Santos, former Colombian president, to give Colombia US$48 million yearly to reduce deforestation. This forms part of a greater effort by Norway to aid countries in the South to halt climate change, through the Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative, instituted after the Paris Agreement in 2015. The ways efforts to reduce deforestation have been implemented have been criticised. While Norway, through this investment,


O presente artigo busca fazer um paralelo entre pontos específicos da sociologia durkheimiana e o problema da reprodução da dominação, tema de significativa relevância na sociologia de Pierre Bourdieu. O esforço de Bourdieu em entender a objetividade do mundo social, suas estruturas, e sua relação com os esquemas subjetivos de pensamento encontra em Durkheim as bases sociais da construção das categorias epistemológicas que orientam o mundo social. Através de uma breve explanação sobre os autores


The current method of differentiating levels of war did not exist during the Civil War. Most Civil War leaders only looked at the prospective battle (tactical issues), not at how each individual engagement fitted into a campaign (the operational level of war), and how this related to the nation's military strategy (the methods for prosecuting it). Some tout a supposed awareness of the teachings of Baron Antoine-Henri Jomini's Art of War among Civil War leaders, but all that can be proven is this


The shifting demographics of the U.S. population has made the impact of sociocultural factors on patient diagnosis and treatment an increasingly relevant and meaningful topic. As the United States becomes a “majority minority” nation, with no racial/ethnic group having greater than a 50% share of the country’s total population, clinicians will need to better understand the phenomenology and treatment of mental health disorders among diverse populations. This imperative becomes all the more urgen


In this study, a more conveniently method was tried to prepare T-shaped groove structure surface with HS-WEDM method on the surface of an aluminum alloy, and the results shown that processed surface has super-hydrophobic and high- adhesion properties. The fabricated surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy and laser confocal and it was found that there are some micrometers or submicron-scale pits and mastoids distributed on the surface of the sample with sub-millimeter T-s


The diffusion of archaeology in Panama has been carried out through different media such as newspapers, magazines, television, internet, museums, and archaeological sites, interpretation centers among others, which have been strongly permeated by ideological discourses typical of the political and social context. Dr. Cooke has acted as promoter and disseminator of Panamanian archaeology since 1972. His initiatives link archaeological issues such as early settlement and the dispersion of human gr


The proposed relationship between intrapartum asphyxia and cerebral palsy is based on two observations: asphyxia in the animal model can produce brain pathology consistent with cerebral palsy in the human; some human newborns that are subsequently shown to have cerebral palsy were asphyxiated at birth. The preponderance of evidence from the medical literature supports the point of view that most cerebral palsy is not related to intrapartum events. Perhaps the most convincing reason for identifyi


As a phenomenon in the contemporary treatment and care of people with cancer, financial toxicity is not fully understood, and in Europe not widely recognized as a problem since patients are generally protected from catastrophic medical expenditures. Defined as the objective financial burden and subjective financial distress of patients with cancer, as a result of treatments using innovative drugs and concomitant health services, financial toxicity is, nonetheless, a challenge in Europe. The expo


Modification of the conductive surface layers can further endow the layers with improved comprehensive properties. This chapter discusses the preparation and modification of conductive polymer-based surface layers or coatings on polymeric or other types of substrates, and three general approaches were employed in the corresponding studies. The first approach is to blend conductive polymer with non-conductive polymer via solutions to modify material properties. The second approach generates condu


Basically, every company requires capital in order to finance its operational activity and to expand their business so capital becomes one of the important elements in a company. When the capital which is owned by the company is large the operational activity that can be conducted is large as well.

The ‘Learning by Models’ exhibition held in the Faculty of Architecture of TU Delft in the spring of 2018 comprised a number of models representing various works by the architect Heinrich Tessenow (1876-1950). The models were made in three architecture schools, namely the Maastricht Academy of Architecture , the Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio and the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment in Delft, and the clear differences between these models showed the various ways that Tes


How does desire for food and drink arise in the human mind? We suggest that rewarding simulations, based on previous experiences, play a key role. In other words, people think about food and drink in terms of what it feels like to consume them, and this leads to desire. We illustrate this with research using behavioural, physiological, and neuro-imaging methods. This work shows that food and drink cues (e.g., words, eating contexts, labels) trigger spontaneous eating and drinking simulations (e.


Internationally, institutions of higher education have been called upon to engage college students with learning disabilities in campus life, to provide effective learning supports, and to hold high expectations (Tinto, 2012). Model programs providing comprehensive support to college students with learning disabilities are few and far between. As the number of college students needing learningsupport increases across many countries, there is a critical demand to identify programs and approaches


Abstract Although postcollisional adakitic rocks are widely distributed in the southern Lhasa subterrane, their petrogenesis remains controversial. Complex petrogenesis models, mainly including partial melting of subducted oceanic crust, partial melting of the Indian lower continental crust, and magma mixing, are pivotal in reconstruction of the postcollisional dynamic processes in south Tibet. In order to constrain the geodynamic processes, we present systemic geochronological and geochemical d


Opened in the late 1930s, Meilongzhen Restaurant is a celebration of Chinese gastronomic tradition in a setting that bears resemblance to the gentlemen's clubs of European capitals of the era. With its generous layout of lounges and rooms on three floors, Meilongzhen epitomises the sophistication and cosmopolitanism of pre-World War II Shanghai, the 'Paris of the East' that attracted merchants and fortune seekers from around the world. In 1938, two opera lovers opened Meilongzhen Restaurant on W


Background: Helicobacter pylori is a known etiologic factor for gastric marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (gMALT), but data for infectious etiology in other MZL subtypes are controversial. Proposed hypothetical factors include Borrelia burgdorferi for cutaneous MZL (cMALT), Campylobacter jejuni for intestinal MZL (iMALT), and hepatitis C (HCV) for splenic (SMZL) or nodal MZL (NMZL). These associations have been largely reported in studies from Europe, but they

Background Double-blind studies have reported improvements in posture, spatial awareness, and behavior in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) individuals wearing yoked prism lenses. The Kaplan Nonverbal Battery (KNB) is a performance-based test used to evaluate yoked prism lenses. To date, only Kaplan has reported KNB results. This study investigates inter-examiner and intra-examiner agreement obtained in scoring the KNB in nonverbal/ minimally verbal ASD subjects. Methods Ten nonverbal/minimally ver


Minimum wages in most European Union (EU) countries were increased at the start of 2019, with an median increase of 4.8% compared with the previous year, continuing the recent trends towards faster minimum wage growth. Much of this is accounted for by substantial increases in Eastern Europe together with efforts to undertake permanent and structural increases in minimum wage levels in countries such as Spain. There is also a growing debate over the role of minimum wages for the concept of Social


Abstract Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have an unprecedented ability to store gas molecules, however energy efficient regeneration remains challenging. Use of magnetic induction to aid this shows promise, but economical synthesis of the requisite composites is unresolved.

In tourism, the images have a key role in development of a place as holiday destination mainly because they inspire our imagination. It is the case of Vietnam: several books, but mainly many war movies showed us many fascinating landscapes, so in the western imaginary the country has too often been associated with this kind of image. For this reason, the war has been an important attraction in these years for Vietnam above all for a new form of tourism, 'dark tourism'. Recent trends show foreign


<p>The Life Cycle Cost concept enables costs prediction throughout the life cycle of building projects.

These databases are needed to support both the technical and financial management of public constructio


In this paper, we investigate and analyze the performance of a wireless system with caching capabilities while imposing secrecy constraints at one of the users. A dedicated user with secrecy constraints is always served by a helper/access point that transmits its external non-cacheable bursty traffic. A second user, with no secrecy constraints, receives cacheable content either from the helper or the core network through a macrocell base station. This non-dedicated user is served by the cellular


Abstract The targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs), which are the niches for immune initiation, provides an unprecedented opportunity for immune intolerance induction. The alloimmune rejection postvascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) is mediated by T lymphocytes. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) possess the superiority of convenient availability and potent immunoregulatory property, but their therapeutic results in the VCA are unambiguous

Deductive verification of the classical J.Williams heapsort algorithm for objects of an arbitrary type was conducted. In order to simplify verification, non-trivial transformations, replacing pointer arithmetic operators by an array element constructs, were applied. The program was translated to the predicate programming language. Deductive verification of the program in the tools Why3 and Coq appears to be complicated and time consuming.


Abstract Lymphopenia is common in adults who have had a Fontan operation although its aetiology and clinical implications remain unknown. Previous work suggests an association between lymphopenia and both liver disease and splenomegaly. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of lymphopenia in adults with a Fontan circulation and evaluate its associations with risk factors and clinical outcomes. Using a retrospective cohort study design, we studied 73 adult Fontan patients (age

Policymakers, academics, and industry players have been focused on determining whether connected health (CH) is a fad or a trend by looking at its sustainability. Although the significance of innovation in healthcare is gradually rising, a definitive identification and systematic comprehension of the core drivers, structure, content, and pattern of innovation in CH are missing. To bridge this gap, this study re-examines and analyses CH from the perspectives of its industrial chain and structure,


Abstract Lymphatic filariasis (LF), caused by Wuchereria bancrofti infection, has probably occurred in Egypt since ancient times. In more recent years, LF was recognized as a major public health problem in the Nile delta since the early 1930s and Culex pipiens was identified as the major mosquito vector of transmission. Since then the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) took measures for control of the disease. During 1955-1965, a nationwide survey determined the size and extent of LF as a


As part of this diploma thesis, two hydrazone ligands, (E)-N'-(2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)-2-
 hydroxybenzohydrazone (H2L1) and (E)-N'-(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)-2-
 hydroxybenzohydrazone (H2L2), were prepared and characterized. In reactions with
 MoO2(acac)2 and 4,4-bipyridne were prepared various molybdenum(VI) complexes. In
 methanol solutions were synthesized mononuclear complexes, [MoO2(L)(MeOH)]. Reactions

Textual queries are largely employed in information retrieval to let users specify search goals in a natural way. However, differences in user and system terminologies can challenge the identification of the user's information needs, and thus the generation of relevant results. We argue that the explicit management of ontological knowledge, and of the meaning of concepts (by integrating linguistic and encyclopedic knowledge in the system ontology), can improve the analysis of search queries, bec

Abstract The expression of the human β-like globin genes follows a well-orchestrated developmental pattern, undergoing two essential switches, the first one during the first weeks of gestation (ε to γ), and the second one during the perinatal period (γ to β). The γ- to β-globin gene switching mechanism includes suppression of fetal (γ-globin, HbF) and activation of adult (β-globin, HbA) globin gene transcription. In hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH), the γ-globin suppression mech


Abstract We consider a two‐country, two‐sector model in which a firm’s offshoring decision depends on labor market rigidities that impose additional costs on the firm. Firms endogenously choose their organizational form considering their productivity level and organizational costs. The costs generated by labor market frictions play a key role in determining the benefits of each organizational structure, and thus helps determine the conditions under which a firm decides to offshore. There are thr


The cyber domain and all the interdependencies between networked systems form an extremely complex ensemble. Incidents in the cyber domain may have an abundance effect on the physical domain. For example, a cyber attack or an intrusion against an electricity system may affect the performance of healthcare system as well. For organisation's cyber resilience, know-how is the key resource. Cyber security training and exercises have an extremely important role for achieving the required level of kno

China�s rise in the Pacific has become prominent in the last decade. Debates on China in the region have intensified and cover a growing number of issues�such as China�s diplomacy, aid, and even interest in seabed mining. China�s activities have also frequently hit news headlines in Australia, New Zealand and Pacific island countries (PICs). This 80th edition of the Development Bulletin provides an excellent opportunity to reflect on China�s aid in the Pacific. As a researcher, I was puzzled by


Som dokumentarskaper ønsker man gjerne å belyse vanskelige og kontroversielle temaer. Menneskene som er mest interessante er gjerne også de det oppstår flest etiske dilemma rundt. Det regnes som etisk uforsvarlig å filme personer med demens, ettersom de ikke har mulighet til å gi et informert samtykke. Må man som dokumentarist være nådeløs og hensynsløs for å kunne lage en god film, eller er det viktigere å ivareta personens verdighet og interesser? Og er det mulig å gjøre begge deler? Hensikten

Social threat is a key component of mental “stress” and a potent generator of negative emotions and physiological responses in the body. How the human brain processes social context and drives peripheral physiology, however, is relatively poorly understood. Human neuroimaging and animal studies implicate the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), though this heterogeneous region is likely to contain multiple sub-regions with diverse relationships with physiological reactivity and regulation. We
