Abstract:

The determination of trace elements, particularly rare earth elements, in uranium ore concentrates (UOCs) is important as the pattern can be indictive ore characteristics. Presented here is a methodology for accurately quantifying rare earth elements (REE) in UOCs. To improve the measurement uncertainty, isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) was utilized over other quantification techniques such as external calibration or standard addition. The isotopic determinations were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). To obtain high-fidelity isotopic measurements, separation of the REE from the uranium matrix was achieved by high-performance ion chromatography (HPIC), reducing the isobaric interferences. After separation, the target analytes were analyzed in two different modalities. For high precision analysis, the separated analytes were collected and measured by ICP-MS in an “offline” fashion. For a rapid approach, the separated analytes were sent directly into an ICP-MS for “online” analysis. These methods have been demonstrated to accurately quantify the REE content in a well-characterized UOC sample.

Abstract:

Abstract INTRODUCTION Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain tumor, however, is a rare occurrence in children and is poorly characterized. We evaluated the characteristics and outcomes of pediatric GBM (pGBM). METHODS Retrospective analysis of pediatric (age< 18) patients diagnosed with GBM undergoing first glioblastoma resection at our brain tumor center (2005- 2016). RESULTS From 1457 GBM patients, we identified twenty-four (1.65%) pGBMs (Median Age=9 years, Females=45.8%). Median overall survival (OS) was 32.1 months, while the median progression-free survival was 11.5 months. The commonest symptoms at presentation were headaches (54.2%,n=13) and motor symptoms (50%,n=12). Mean tumor diameter was 4.5 cm and 25% of the cohort underwent gross total resection (GTR) of their tumor. Univariate analysis revealed median OS significantly associated with tumor extent of resection (GTR=56.4 months; STR/Biopsy=13.7 months, p=0.001), age at surgery (>10 years=43.9 months, < 10 years= 17.2 months, p=0.01), tumor size (> 4cm= 9.1 months, < 4cm=56.9 months, p=0.01),motor symptoms at presentation (present=14.9 months, absent=41.04 months, p=0.02) and infratentorial tumors (infratentorial=17.4 vs supratentorial=53.4 months, p=0.02). Multivariate analysis revealed GTR (HR 0.2[95% CI 0.07–0.72]; p=0.03), Age >10 years (HR 0.6[95% CI 0.02–0.64]; p=0.002), tumor >4 cm (HR 2.89[95% CI 1.88–4.11]; p=0.001) and EGFR amplification (HR 3.48[95% CI 0.82–17.4]; p=0.005) to be independent predictors of OS. Comparing patients under and over 10 years, we found that older patients had smaller tumors at presentation (4.9 vs 3.6 cms, p=0.03), greater rates of preoperative temozolomide (n=1,7.7% vs n=6, 54.5%) and bevacizumab (n=1,7.7% vs n=4, 36.4%) treatment, and lower rates of EGFR amplification (66.7% vs 11.1%) that could explain survival disparities between groups. CONCLUSION Motor symptoms, larger tumors at presentation and tumor EGFR amplification may be indictive of poorer outcomes in pGBM. However, maximal tumor resection, aggressive chemoradiation and tumor presentation at age >10 years may confer better prognosis in these patients.

Full text

Abstract:

Although it is clear that the Chief Executive may be impeached while in office, it is generally thought that a sitting President cannot suffer criminal indictment while in office. There are two general arguments in support of this position. The first argument notes that criminal indictment of the President would so interfere with the duties of the office as to constitute a violation of the Constitution. The second argument simply refers to the express language of the Constitution providing that the remedy for intolerable occupation of the office is impeachment and conviction. While the Constitution does not expressly preclude indictment and prosecution, it is argued that the Constitution only so allows upon impeachment and conviction. This essay aspires to more fully explore the two alleged constitutional prohibitions against the criminal indictment of the occupant of the Office of the President and to argue that each suffers sufficiently to render each doubtful as a ground for guaranteeing Presidential immunity.

Abstract:

A new low cost microfluidic device has been designed and fabricated. Three thread microchannels were fabricated using tape and three indicting filter papers were also made by dipping three filter papers into sodium nitrite with different concentration. The side of the thread microchannels was connected to the indicting filter papers and then mounted on a 1280yx-LiNbO3piezoelectric substrate, on which an interdigital transducer and reflector were fabricated using microeletric technology. PDMS film was coated to avoid the evaporation of microfluid transporting in the thread based microchannels. When a 25.5MHz RF signal with 25.4dBm power was applied on the IDT, the microfluid on the piezoelectric substrate was actuated by surface acoustic wave and transported along the thread microchannels, and reacted with nitrite ion in the indicting filter paper. Experimental results show that the thread-piezoelectric substrate microfluidic device can be used for biological or chemical analysis.

Abstract:

Background: Ioversol (IVL) is a radiographic contrast agent employed in the diagnostic radiography. In this investigation, our aim was to develop and validate a simple and rapid HPLC-DAD method for determination of IVL in bulk and injection dosage form. Methods: IVL separation and analysis was performed on Zodiac phenyl C18 column (250 mm × 4.5 mm; 5 µ particle size) using water-methanol (90:10 by volume) as mobile phase system and with detection at 254 nm. Results: The retention value of IVL was 4.11 min. The method linearity range was found 254.5-763.5 µg/ml with LOQ and LOD values of 2.376 µg/ml and 0.729 µg/ml, respectively. The accuracy (̴ 100%) and precision (< 2.0%) were within the acceptance criteria. Stability indicating ability of the method was proved by stress degradation studies. Adoptability of this method was assessed with application to marketed injection dosage form with good accuracy (recovery 100.49%) and precision (RSD 0.715%). Conclusion: By adopting this method one can analyze IVL in injection dosage form in less than 10 min and hence this method is time saving and enables the estimation of large number of samples.

Abstract:

A kind of small molecular hemicellulose was prepared from coconut shell by ultrasound-assisted and alkaline hydrogen peroxide extraction. Unlike the common hemicelluloses and celluloses, it is similar to liquid for the hemicelluloses in ethanol solution, but insoluble in it. Through the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis, it was found that its molecular weight is much lower than that of the traditional hemicelluloses, indicting the lower polymerization degree. But from the infrared spectroscopy spectra analysis, this type of small molecular hemicelluloses has the similar infrared spectrum characteristic peaks to that hemicellulose.

Abstract:

Are the media biased? Many sources answer in the affirmative, typically indicting the media for a pro-liberal or pro-Democratic slant. Analysis subjecting these claims to objective testing, using baselines with which to compare coverage, has been lacking. By studying newspaper articles on congressional party switchers (members who have left their political party in mid-term), this research compares coverage when members of both parties have engaged in the same behavior. The results provide little evidence of partisan media bias, and no support for allegations of a pro-liberal or pro-Democratic bias.

In what ways are the Johannine Epistles a response to empire ideology and propaganda? These Epistles proclaim a more complete and correct cosmology, a greater Savior and soteriology, a better pedagogy, a truer doctrine, a sounder koinōnia, and a more nurturing paterfamilias; moreover, they do so while indicting schismatics, who, in the view of the elder, represent the face of the empire. Although the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ drive the elder’s witness and ministry, he must still shape his message to counter the encroachment of empire in the church and on the mission field.

Abstract:

The short history of the Hollywood novel provides a useful index of the ways that 20th-century U.S. literature has imagined the relation of sign systems to the external reality with which they would coincide. Very early Hollywood novels like Harry Leon Wilson's Merton of the Movies (1922) found their critiques of the nascent film industry on its fictiveness and conventionality, indicting Hollywood for the falsification of reality. Literature in general and the Hollywood novel in particular would serve, by implication, to set the record straight. As modernism in its many permutations supplanted realism, however, these straightforward epistemological distinctions became increasingly blurry. Informed by the recognition of the materiality of language, modernist fiction would have a lot harder time leveling its critiques.

In this paper we examine Anna Komnene?s editorial procedure in Book XII chapter 3 of the Alexias and reappraise her historical methodology. We investigate the two dates at the end of XII.3.1, which are incompatible: the indiction does not correspond to the regnal year. Our investigations come to the following conclusions: Anna composes XII.3 using reliable sources, Alexios I?s official letters and court logbook; both of the dates originate in the trustworthy imperial documents that she consulted; the discrepancy between the two, commonly regarded as a mistake made by Anna, was caused by editorial work on the text after her death. As far as we can tell from XII.3, her method of historical composition is entirely clear and this suggests that the Alexias is a reliable historical source.

Abstract:

Interaction between dietary flavonoids and albumins plays an important role in the bioavailability and bioactivity of flavonoids. Therefore, the influence of this interaction on the antioxidant activity of flavonoid has attracted much interest. In this study, a ceric reducing/antioxidant capacity assay (CRAC) was employed to investigate the effects of albumin-flavonoid interaction on the antioxidant activity of seven common flavonoids. The results obtained from the CRAC assay were also compared separately with the results from the spectrophotometric methods including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. All the flavonoids show a decreasing in the antioxidant activity detected by CRAC assay, indicting a “masking effect” of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-flavonoid interaction. However, the results from DPPH and FRAP assays were conflicting, which may be attributed to the influence of solvent systems.

The event is the first recorded outburst of water from beneath a cold ice-cap terminus on Law Dome and, to the author’s knowledge, in Antarctica. From the results of oxygen-isotope and solute analysis, the water was found to have originated as basal melt water. It contained a high total solute load with a dominant enrichment in alkalis, indicting that it had been squeezed through subglacial sediments for an extensive time period. Evidence from the subglacial topography, basal ice exposures, and the sedimentology of nearby supraglacial moraines supports the presence of an ice-marginal subglacial water reservoir as the jökulhlaup source.

Abstract:

A facile method for the synthesis of size-and shape-controlled CuInS2 semiconductor nanocrystals was developed by thermolysis of a mixed solution of Cu (acac)2, In (acac)3 and dodecanethiol at 200 °C. By adjusting the reaction time, CuInS2 nanocrystals with size of ~2 to ~6 nm were obtained. The as-prepared nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The nanocrystals solutions exhibit tunable absorption and PL spectra with the absorption edge ranging from 450 to 750 nm while the PL emission peaks from 660 to 700, indicting a strong size-dependent quantum confinement effect. The proposed synthesis strategy developed in this work may be used as a general process for other metal chalcogenides nanocrystals and may have a bright application prospects in different areas, such photovoltaic application, in the future.

Abstract:

Effects of date syrup on pasting, rheological, and retrogradation properties of low-amylose rice starch were investigated using three levels of date syrup (starch:syrup 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3). Measurements were carried out using HR-2 Discovery Rheometer equipped with a pasting cell and parallel plate geometry. The pasting measurements showed that the peak viscosity of the control is significantly higher than the samples with date syrup (p < 0.05), while the final viscosity increases with increased date syrup levels. Addition of date syrup increases the solid-like behavior of the gel in reverse order with increased date syrup levels. Low-amylose starch gel used in this study showed minor changes in elastic modulus (G′) during one week cold storage indicting that low-amylose rice starch is resistant to retrogradation. Addition of date syrup slightly resulted in increased retrogradation compared to the control.

Abstract:

On August 22, 2012, the Republic of Senegal and the African Union (AU) signed an agreement to create a tribunal within the Senegalese judicial system to prosecute the perpetrators of international law violations in Chad between 1982 and 1990. To be called the Extraordinary African Chambers (Chambers), the tribunal is the result of years of political and judicial bargaining around Hissein Habré, the former President of Chad. The Chambers were inaugurated in February 2013, following the agreement upon a Statute of the Chambers in January 2013. On July 2, 2013, Hissein Habré was charged with crimes against humanity, torture, and war crimes, and placed in pre-trial detention. To date, Habré is the only indictee, but the Prosecutor reportedly intends to seek the indictment of five officials of Habré’s administration suspected of having committed international crimes.

Abstract:

For the purpose of studying the difference of mixing and cocrystallization of TNT(2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) and CL-20(2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane), molecular dynamics simulation(MD) was performed within Discover code. After the equilibrium of the system, the average bond length of trigger bond(Lave) is almost unchanged after mixing or cocrystallization. However, the largest bond length of trigger bond(Lmax) of CL-20 in cocrystal is shorter than that of it in pure CL-20, indicting the cocrystal is more difficult to be detonated than CL-20. The Lmax of TNT shows the same result. The cocrystal shows a larger cohesive energy density than composite ones, suggesting the cocrystal is more insensitive. Besides, trigger bond energy of cocrystal is larger than physical mixture of TNT and CL-20, suggesting the cocrystal is more insensitive. The mechanical properties show the cocrystal is more harder than pure TNT or CL-20, but has a weaker ductibility and tenacity.

Ni0.25Cu0.30Zn0.45DyxFe2−xO4 (x = 0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1 and 0.125 mol.%) ferrimagnetic samples have been prepared by sol–gel autocombustion route. The lattice parameter (a) increases with dysprosium concentration indicating the expansion of unit cell as observed from XRD studies. As the dysprosium content increases minor orthoferrite phase is seen in the samples. The porosities of samples increase indicting crystal imperfections. Using Hall-Williamson analysis, the crystallite size was found to vary between 24.36 nm to 37.1 nm. From Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), two absorption bands ν1 and ν2 corresponding to the intrinsic vibrations of tetrahedral and octahedral sites respectively are observed which confirm the spinel phase formation and ascertain the cation distribution in the samples. The transmission electron micrographs exhibit spherical shape and narrow size distribution of nanoparticles. The sintered ferrite samples exhibit usual dielectric dispersion involving Maxwell-Wagner type interfacial polarization. A decrease in dielectric constant, dielectric loss tangent and AC conductivity with frequency is observed.

Abstract:

Nondestructive and fast measurement and characterization of fish is highly desired during various processing treatments. This research investigated the effectiveness of low field LF-NMR and MRI as fast monitoring techniques to estimate the qualities of half-smooth tongue sole fillets treated with edible coating combined with modified atmosphere packaging during refrigeration. T2 relaxation spectra showed three peaks representing bound water (T21), immobile water (T22), and free water (T23), respectively. pT22 accounted for the largest proportion of three types of water, followed by pT23. The weighted MRI provided the internal structure information associated with different samples, indicting the combination of edible coating and MAP (70% CO2 + 30% N2) is the best performance in the maintenance of qualities and freshness of HTS fillets. All results demonstrated that the combination of LF-NMR and MRI as fast and nondestructive methods have great potential to monitor qualities deterioration and predict shelf life in of HTS fillets during refrigerated storage.

Abstract:

This essay coins the concept of redactive reading to describe a method for interpreting women’s absences in racialized and gendered histories of collective trauma through M. NourbeSe Philip’s 2008 poem, Zong! In 1781, the Zong crew murdered as many as 150 African captives following a water shortage and tried to claim insurance on victims. Gregson v. Gilbert denied plaintiffs the right to profit from murder without indicting anyone for the atrocity. This diasporic Caribbean poet revives mythological figures—notably, the biblical Ruth—to expose Western law and the English language as insidious tools of epistemic violence. In naming three archetypes that reincarnate “ruth”— the rebellious slave, the lady of society, and the raped whore—this article interrogates the white, patriarchal, imperialist imaginary behind the massacre. Redactive reading is a strategy for reading femininity as a structuring absence on which canons of exclusion—from legal rights to representational politics and the sympathetic imagination—are built.

Marine ecosystems are affected by aromatic hydrocarbons. The predicting ability based on the quantitative structureactivity relationships (QSAR) model of unknown aromatic hydrocarbons toxicity is one of the tasks of security precaution. To establish the QSAR model between the physical and chemical properties of aromatic hydrocarbons and the inhibited activity of Chlorella vulgaris(C. Vulgaris), the optimized geometries, based on the 96 hr-EC50 of 25 aromatic hydrocarbons with C. Vulgaris were carried out at the B3LYP/6-311G** level by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. With matlab2 010(a) software, genetic algorithm principal components regression (GAPCR) methods was used to develop the QSAR model and compared to traditional PCR model. PC1+PC3+PC5+PC6+PC8 were finally selected by GAPCR method. The of training, prediction data set and LOO cross validation are 0.918, 0.956 and 0.933, respectively. Meanwhile, the results of PCR were 0.949, 0.755 and 0.825, respectively. The results of this work showed that the GAPCR method has great results and good generalization capability. Comparing two motheds results indicting that GAPCR gives superior results to traditional PCR procedure.

Abstract. The broad-band normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the simple ratio (SR) were calculated from measurements of reflectance of photosynthetically active and short-wave radiation at two temperate mountain grasslands in Austria and related to the net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) measured concurrently by means of the eddy covariance method. There was no significant statistical difference between the relationships of midday mean NEE with narrow- and broad-band NDVI and SR, measured during and calculated for that same time window, respectively. The skill of broad-band NDVI and SR in predicting CO2 fluxes was higher for metrics dominated by gross photosynthesis and lowest for ecosystem respiration, with NEE in between. A method based on a simple light response model whose parameters were parameterised based on broad-band NDVI allowed to improve predictions of daily NEE and is suggested to hold promise for filling gaps in the NEE time series. Relationships of CO2 flux metrics with broad-band NDVI and SR however generally differed between the two studied grassland sites indicting an influence of additional factors not yet accounted for.

Abstract:

The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs, diameter: 2~3 nm), which were obtained in the suspension of purification solution, with Ni-P coating layers were obtained by an electroless deposition process. The SWNTs before and after coating were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). An Ni-P layer on individual nanotube with thickness of 20 nm can be obtained after the deposition process. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis of Ni-P SWNTs before and after heat treatment show that the heat treatment caused the transformation of the amorphous Ni-P layer to the nanocrystalline Ni-P (crystalline Ni andNi3P intermetallic compound) layer. The XRD pattern of SWNTs with Ni-P layers after heat treatment revealed that the crystal structures of Ni in plating layer contained: hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure and face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. The lattice parameters of Ni (fcc) andNi3P are larger than the bulk's, indicting that the lattice expansion has taken place. However, the lattice parameter of Ni (hcp) has no difference from the bulk's.

Abstract:

Hybrid seeds from crosses between Curcurbita maxima and Curcurbita andreana were similar in weight to the seeds of the maternal parents. The calcium concentrations of the hybrid embryos were significantly different from the Ca concentrations of both parent species and tended toward a level intermediate between that of the two parents. However, the hybrids also differed in Ca concentration from each other and each was more similar to its female parent, indicting some maternal influences on Ca accumulation. There was a significant negative correlation between both embryo weight and embryo length and Ca concentration in hybrid embryos of the large seeds of Cucurbita maxima × Cucurbita andreana. The small seeds of Cucurbita andreana × Cucurbita maxima had embryos in which embryo weight was positively correlated with Ca concentration. In both parent and hybrid embryos the Ca concentration of the axis was higher than the concentration in the cotyledons. The axes of all four kinds of embryos had similar Ca concentrations so that the differences found for whole embryos were due to changes in Ca concentrations in the cotyledons.

Abstract:

The impact of shift work on sleep and health has been examined in the past, but most studies utilized cross-sectional designs relying on between-subject differences. The purpose this study was to examine the within-subject differences in self-report measures of health and wellness among a group of nurses engaged in rotating shifts. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures, collected post-day and post-night shift, were used to assess health, sleep disturbances and sleep-related impairment, fatigue, emotional distress (anger), satisfaction with social roles outside of work, and applied cognitive abilities. Among the sample of 23 White, mostly female (91.3%) nurses, all PROMIS measures were worse indicting lower health and wellness after working night shifts compare to after working day shifts ( p values from .167 to < .001). During both time points of assessment, sleep-related impairment was highly correlated with greater emotional distress, greater fatigue, and worse memory and concentration. Study findings support prior studies that shift work can negatively impact health and wellness.

Abstract:

Neural network shows great potential in modulation classification because of its excellent accuracy and achievability but overfitting and memorizing data noise often happen in previous researches on automatic digital modulation classifier. To solve this problem, we utilize two neural networks, namely MentorNet and StudentNet, to construct an automatic modulation classifier, which possesses great performance on the test set with −18–20 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The MentorNet supervises the training of StudentNet according to curriculum learning, and deals with the overfitting problem in StudentNet. The proposed classifier is verified in several test sets containing additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), Rayleigh fading, carrier frequency offset and phase offset. Experimental results reveal that the overall accuracy of this classifier for common eleven modulation types was up to 99.3% while the inter-class accuracy could be up to 100%, which was much higher than many other classifiers. Besides, in the presence of interferences, the overall accuracy of this novel classifier still could reach 90% at 10 dB SNR indicting its excellent robustness, which makes it suitable for applications like military electronic warfare.

Abstract:

Objective: To determine the effectiveness and results of the plate-rod spinal system (PRSS) instrumentation in providing and maintaining scoliosis correction while allowing spinal growth in young children. Methods: From June 5, 2000, to July 10, 2006, a total of 23 patients with progressive early onset pediatric scoliosis underwent a one-stage PRSS procedure with no bony fusion. Analysis included age at surgery, measured changes in scoliosis angle, spinal growth, and complications. Results: The mean follow-up period was 2.8 ± 1.4 years, and more than 5 years in five cases. The mean correction varied from 80.7° to 30.5° after surgery, with a corrective rate of 62.2%. The average scoliotic curve in the latest follow-up was 34.7° (P > 0.05), indicting no significant loss of correction. The length of growth of the instrumented spine averaged 13.3 mm. No severe complications occurred in our series. Conclusion: The PRSS, which dispenses with bony fusion, is a safe and effective instrumentation for the management of juvenile scoliosis. It provides and maintains the desirable correction in a one-stage procedure, and allows continuous spinal growth.

Abstract:

In present study, accurate, precise, rapid and sensitive stability indicting HPLC-UV method has been established for quantification of Telmisartan, Cilnidipine and Chlorthalidone simultaneously in Tablet and bulk. Telmisartan, Cilnidipine and Chlorthalidone were resoluted on Sunsil C18 column (4.6mmx250mm; 5μm) using mobile phase containing Acetonitrile and Potassium dihydrogen phosphate in 50:50(v/v) ratio with flow rate of 1ml/min at 238 nm. Concentrations were linear over the range of 40-120 μg/ml for Telmisartan, 10-30 μg/ml for Cilnidipine and 6.25-18.75 μg/ml for Chlorthalidone. The percentage recovery was found to be 99.70-100.51% for Telmisartan, 98.41-100.49% for Cilnidipine and 99.34-100.48% for Chlorthalidone. % RSD for peak area was 0.069% for Telmisartan, 0.058% for Cilnidipine and 0.057% for Chlorthalidone shows that the proposed method is precise. Force-degradation studies have not shown any observable change in the results and hence the proposed method is stability indicating and hence the method is suitable for routine analysis of Telmisartan, Cilnidipine and Chlorthalidone in bulk and tablet dosage form.
