It is proved till today that special surface geometry or special fin pattern may enhance heat transfer coefficients. The area selected for investigation is experimental analysis of one of the special fin pattern i.e. staggered fin arrays and software validation. They are compared with continuous fin array. From the literature survey, test section and fin arrays under study are designed. For each 33.33 % and 50% lengthwise staggering is done. Then by performing an experiment, readings of 12 temperatures were recorded for four different heater inputs. From these readings Nusselt number for each array for given range of heater input is calculated. Conduction and radiation losses are also calculated. The arrays under study are compared. It was predicted that array with staggered fins will have higher values of Nusselt number for all values of heater input and increases when % staggering is increased and the experiment gave the same results. Thus it is concluded that the staggered arrangement enhances the heat transfer rate. In other words it can be concluded that the staggered arrays may be used for augmentation of heat transfer in vertical fins. Software analysis results are compared with experimental results.

Caesarean section, which in the previous pre-antiseptic time gave a staggering percentage of mortality, really seemed too risky an operation; according to statistics collected by Joulin in Trait d'Acouchements, this percentage, according to different authors, fluctuated between 44.5% and 66.6%. According to Lazarevich (Course of Obstetrics published in 1892), the mortality rate in the old days was 80%. After the introduction of antiseptics and mainly after the improvements in the surgical technique proposed by Snger, the mortality rate can be so much that if the operation is performed in a good environment and by the hands of an experienced surgeon, then less than 10% is obtained; thus, Leopold's caesarean sections gave only 8% of the adverse outcomes.

Binge drinking represents a major clinical and public health concern. Here, we investigated the prevalence of binge drinking and its related consequences, in a population of young adults. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 4275 healthy subjects. In the overall sample, the percentage of binge drinkers was 67.6 per cent; among regular alcohol users, 79.5 per cent reported episodes of binge drinking. Among binge drinkers, several serious consequences were identified (staggering and stuttering, amnesia, loss of control, aggressiveness, sexual disinhibition). Raising awareness about the seriousness of binge drinking may help health care providers to identify cases early on and provide appropriate treatments.

Full textAbstract:
Gen Z is the generation that were born between 1996 and 2015. In this paper the gen z is represented by university students who become the respondents of this research. The main focus of this paper is describing the religion-based social distance among the university students. Social distance is the degree of separation between different social groups. The specific group this paper focuses on is the religion-based groups. The main theory employs in this research is Social Scale theory that provide the basic instrument of social distance measurement. To gather the data this research uses survey and interviews. The result depicts that there are social distances on particular religious groups. The percentages of respondents who feel a distance to certain religious groups are varied. The percentages of respondent who perceived a distance toward Islam is only 7,5 percent. Whereas the percentage that of social distance to local religions, on the other hand, is staggering on the value 84,3 percent. The result signifies that most of respondent feel that they have a social distance to local religious groups. The respondent argues that the main reason for the social distance toward the local religious group is the perception that the local religious believers are more likely to form a cult that might be endangered the social harmony in the university.

Full textAbstract:
Three cats affected with dystrophin deficiency and hypertrophic muscular dystrophy developed peracute rhabdomyolysis with a fatal outcome. Two cats were anesthetized with isoflurane for routine procedures and did not recover properly from the anesthetic procedure. One cat was manually restrained for an echographic examination and started staggering after a short struggle; its condition worsened, and it died. Blood chemistry findings included severe hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, massive increases in creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase concentrations, and high ion gap metabolic acidosis. Light microscopic evaluation of skeletal muscle revealed severe acute rhabdomyolysis with marked extensive necrosis of large groups of fibers and endomysial edema. These lesions were observed in many skeletal muscles but particularly in the masseter and supraspinatus muscles and in the diaphragm. Typical changes associated with dystrophin deficiency in cats were also noted. Histochemical analysis revealed that the dystrophin deficiency was associated with a decrease in the percentage of type 1 myofibers in all three cats. This change was marked in the 20-month-old cat and milder in the younger cats (6.5 and 8.5 months of age). Percentages of type 2A fibers were markedly decreased and percentages of type 2X fibers were markedly increased in the younger cats. Rhabdomyolysis has been reported in dystrophinopathic humans but not in other animal models of dystrophin deficiency. An increased sensitivity of the dystrophin-deficient sarcolemmal membrane to volatile anesthetic agents, stress, or intense muscular activity is suspected.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT This case aims to help you understand how a world-known Japanese conglomerate—Toshiba Corporation—managed its earnings using the percentage-of-completion method to account for construction contracts in its Energy and Infrastructure division. In response to inquiries from Japan's Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission (SESC) and internal investigations, Toshiba restated its earnings for an extended period (2008–2014) by the staggering amount of $1.86 billion. Twenty-one percent of this amount related to its improper accounting for construction contracts. The case requires you to research authoritative accounting literature, evaluate Toshiba's accounting practices, and determine which GAAP-compliant procedures Toshiba should have followed. The case assignment intends to improve your ability to (1) identify, interpret, and apply the new revenue recognition standard (ASC 606), (2) appreciate the distinction between a company's stated accounting policies and their implementation, (3) recognize the importance of estimates and judgments in the accounting process, and (4) understand the critical role played by the senior management and organizational culture in the assurance of integrity in financial reports.

<strong>Abstract:</strong>India has been working on financial inclusion since its independence but still staggering. Many efforts and plans were made to make financial inclusion successful, the banking sector was in focus to make people aware of the financial products and their benefits, banking models were introduced, branches were increased so on and so forth. Healthcare expenditure is one of the most important points to be considered as every person has some kind of health expenditure whether poor or rich. The objective of this paper is to assist the health planners, insurers, government officials and other private officials concerned with the insurance sector and healthcare sector to understand the need of insurance and its impact on financial inclusion. Indian public sector spends very less percentage of GDP on healthcare sector which increases out-of-pocket expenditure and decreases per capita income. Financial inclusion through Insurance can only be achieved after increasing insurance literacy rate and proper implementation of plans and schemes introduced. An efficient healthcare budget with appropriate utilisation and management should be in focus.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual motion and pose from images and video can be estimated by detecting body joints and their interconnection. The human body has diverse and complicated poses in yoga, making its classification challenging. This study estimates yoga poses from the images using a neural network. Five different yoga poses, viz. downdog, tree, plank, warrior2, and goddess in the form of RGB images are used as the target inputs. The BlazePose model was used to localize the body joints of the yoga poses. It detected a maximum of 33 body joints, referred to as keypoints, covering almost all the body parts. Keypoints achieved from the model are considered as predicted joint locations. True keypoints, as the ground truth body joint for individual yoga poses, are identified manually using the open source image annotation tool named Makesense AI. A detailed analysis of the body joint detection accuracy is proposed in the form of percentage of corrected keypoints (PCK) and percentage of detected joints (PDJ) for individual body parts and individual body joints, respectively. An algorithm is designed to measure PCK and PDJ in which the distance between the predicted joint location and true joint location is calculated. The experiment evaluation suggests that the adopted model obtained 93.9% PCK for the goddess pose. The maximum PCK achieved for the goddess pose, i.e., 93.9%, PDJ evaluation was carried out in the staggering mode where maximum PDJ is obtained as 90% to 100% for almost all the body joints.

Full textAbstract:
At present, in the period of complicated international legal relations, there is an intensive need for ensuring economic security of our country. It is the economic sphere that is the ground for internal policy of the government, the human factors system of every citizen and society as a whole. As the main threats to economic security of our country, suboptimal public administration and a high level of criminalization and corruption in the economic sphere should be identified. In this article, the mentioned threats are considered as the main ones, based on the represented statistical data on the character of damage caused to economy of our country. Criminalization of the management sphere is widening every year, the percentage of official crimes committed is inexorably rising. The amount of embezzlement of budget funds committed by persons whose official duties are directed at protecting the national interests and performing basic governmental objectives, is also staggering. A large enough volume of legal acts directed at regulating management processes and narrowing the “sector for abuse” is adopted annually, however, the number of offenses does not reduce. In this connection, we propose to change the approach to measures of legal liability for committed deeds.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses changing patterns of migration in India using the data from the 2011 Census. In this study, the statistical (growth rate, percentage distribution) and cartographic methods have been used to analyse and map the changing patterns of migration across the states in India. It is found that in India, 37.5 percent of the population experienced spatial mobility in the 2011 Census which is higher than that of the 2001 Census (30.8 percent). The volume of migrants in the intercensal period (2001 to 2011) increased from 98.3 million to 161.4 million, an increase of over 64 percent. Overall, migration is more likely among the rural populations compared to the urban. However, substantial increase in the volume of urban-urban movements (14 million in 2001 to around 33 million in 2011) is the focus of the current study along with the rural-urban flows. For the first time in Indian Census history, the volume of urban-urban migration overtook the rural-urban migration volume in the last intercensal period. Creation of additional 2700 new Census Towns in the 2011 Census may be the real driving force for this staggering increase

Abstract The states of Jharkhand and Odisha in India are home to a large percentage of indigenous (Adivasi) population. This population remains underserved, with high rates of unemployment, low literacy, and comparatively poor health indicators. Neonatal mortality still remains a concern, and high rates of maternal depression have been documented. This study shows that a community intervention, the participatory learning and action cycle (PLA), for addressing health problems resulted in a 32% reduction in the odds of neonatal mortality largely by improvements in home–care practices during delivery. This study was included as a result of the staggering reduction in neonatal mortality, and it is possible that the use of this method can be extrapolated to address other health problems at a community level.

Full textAbstract:
Recent data shows that 30 million low-birth-weight (LBW) infants are born annually worldwide (23.8% of all births). Although the global prevalence of such births is gradually decreasing, rates are still as high as 30% in many developing countries (World Health Organization 2008). Low birth weight is due to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), rather than or in addition to prematurity, in approximately one-third of these cases. This staggering number of affected children underscores the importance of understanding the short- and long-term cognitive and behavioral complications of IUGR. Intrauterine growth restriction conveys short- and long-term neurodevelopmental risks and thus requires costly long-term investment of medical, cognitive emotional, educational, and economical resources. Nevertheless, if treated aggressively, IUGR more often than not bears a fairly optimistic outlook, once the infant overcomes the initial life-threatening issues (Geva et al. 2006a). Intrauterine growth restriction is frequently detected in a pregnancy with a less-than-expected third trimester weight gain (100–200 g [3.5–7 oz] per week) or as an incidental finding on ultrasound examination when fetal measurements are less than expected for gestational age (GA; Geva et al. 2005). An estimated fetal weight under the 10th percentile, as determined by serial ultrasound examination, strongly correlates with growth restriction (Bernstein and Gabbe 1996; McCormick 1985). The etiologies of IUGR are typically thought of according to three interdependent categories: fetal factors, placental factors, and maternal factors (Kay 2008). Fetal factors include chromosomal events, such as trisomy 18 and 13 and sex chromosome abnormalities, which account for 5%–15% of all IUGR cases. Further exploration of genetic factors is currently under way, with mixed results (Kotzot et al. 2001). Other fetal factors linked to IUGR include congenital anomalies, mostly cardiovascular malformations, gastroschisis and omphalocele; infection, often related to rubella, cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasmosis (see Chapter 25); and multiple gestations, in which uteroplacental blood flow variations and/or twin–twin transfusion develops (Miller et al. 2008). Fetal villus circulation abnormalities are placental factors related to IUGR (Roberts and Post 2008).

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the potential benefit of the spaced arrangement of buoyancy modules to reduce the vortex induced vibration of deepwater drilling risers. Buoyancy modules are most often continuously applied to a riser to manage the top tension in the riser but they can also be spaced apart so that segments of bare riser are exposed. Field experience suggests this “staggering” of the buoyancy modules tends to suppress vortex induced vibration (VIV). However, the effects of staggered buoyancy are not well understood. In this paper we use CFD simulations to find the flow characteristics of various combinations of buoyancy modules and bare sections which include choke and kill lines. The effect of varying the percentage of buoyancy coverage is estimated based on the forced and free vibration characteristics of individual sections and combinations of the sections. Some direct reduction in VIV was observed but the benefits seem small.

A recent study of college and high school football players demonstrated that 5.1% sustained at least one concussion in a single season. Considering the number of individuals that participate in football in the United States, this percentage equates to a staggering number [1]. The information and attention dealing with concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI) has greatly increased recently, and represents a need for more advanced helmets that can eliminate concussions as well as other forms of TBI. In order to obtain this goal, lessons can be learned from high speed impacts in nature, particularly the shock-mitigating effects of the bighorn sheep’s (or ram’s) horn and woodpecker’s hyoid bone. For instance, during fights between male bighorn sheep, the rams clash together at speeds up to 5.5 m/s, causing forces up to 3400 N [2]. Even while undergoing these tremendous forces, the animals are rarely injured, which leads to the notion that the horn geometry plays a role in mitigating the shock wave. The woodpecker’s hyoid bone extends around the skull in a spiral shape. It aids the woodpecker in extending its tongue and helps bypass vibrations generated from drumming, which protects the brain from shock [3]. Does the reoccurrence of this curious (tapered spiral) shape throughout nature have some significance in regards to energy dissipation and shock absorption abilities inherent to its geometry? Answering this was the primary goal of this study.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The heavy oil reservoirs in China are predominantly deep-seated, with high heterogeneity and oil viscosity. Heavy oils situated at depths exceeding 900m constitute 62% of the nation's total reserves. By the increase of steam stimulation cycles, traditional thermal recovery techniques tend to yield diminishing benefits. Thus, Sinopec is establishing a series of thermal composite EOR technologies, primarily targeting deep, heavy oil reserves. In this study, we've engineered high-temperature and high-pressure micro-visualization experiments to elucidate the microscopic mechanisms underlying thermal composite oil recovery. Our findings show the presence of wall-adhering oil films and filamentary flows during low-temperature hot water flooding. Specifically, at 150°C, the phenomenon of oil-water slug displacement occurs. At 350°C, steam manifests as isolated, nebulous clusters within the oil phase, subsequently leading to the oil phase's adherence to the wall in a turbid state. Upon encountering small pores, steam induces capillary condensation, indicating its liquefaction and heat release in regions with low permeability, thereby enhancing thermal efficiency. Chemical flooding has been observed to yield fine oil-in-water emulsions at pore throats due to its occlusive action, optimizing flow capacity. Notably, the combination of high-temperature steam and chemical agents promotes spontaneous emulsification upon contact with crude oil, generating a flow of finer oil-in-water emulsions. Our "heat+CO2" findings show that at 0.3 MPa, gaseous CO2 tends to form bubbles, subsequently leaving an oil film after gas flooding. Contrastingly, after supercritical CO2 flooding at 10 MPa, almost no oil film residues are found on the wall. At 20 MPa, CO2 dissolution and extraction make the oil phase components segregate at later stage. The combined effects of "steam, chemical agents, and gas" have been identified to significantly enhance oil extraction rates. Based on our understanding of EOR mechanisms, we have conducted field tests. A thermochemical composite steam drive was executed in the highly-heterogeneous Ng5 block deep heavy oil reservoir in Shengli Oilfield, which has suffered from gas channeling induced by steam. This makes the horizontal displacement more uniform. The coefficient of variance in steam injection speed is significantly reduced to 0.13, surging daily oil extraction by up to fourfold. The recovery rate is increased by 27 percentage points, achieving 62.2%. For the challenges of steam injection impediments and crude oil recovery issues in the Zheng 411 block of deep super heavy oil in Wangzhuang Oilfield, a pilot scheme was launched to bolster thermal development through the combined effects of viscosity-reducing agents and CO2. Our data indicates that single-well production soared from 127 tons to 1,812 tons—a staggering 13.3-fold increment—with the oil-to-steam ratio peaking at 0.88.
