Full textAbstract:
Our objectives were to 1) Determine acclimation and deacclimation patterns of buds and stems of four pecan cultivars in Mississippi and 2) to determine the relationship between cold hardiness, based on DTA, and tissue injury, based or viability tests. Stem critical temperatures for September showed that `Hughes' was slower in acclimating than `Jackson'. Maximum hardiness for all cultivars occurred in January, except for `Desirable', which reached maximum hardiness in December but started deacclimating in January. Deacclimation for the remaining cultivars started in February. Bud critical temperatures for September and October also show that `Hughes' was slower in acclimating compared to the remaining cultivars. Maximum bud hardiness for `Desirable' occurred in December, with the remaining cultivars reaching maximum hardiness in January. Bud deacclimation for all cultivars occurred in March. The LD50 for the tetrazolium and electrolyte leakage tests occurred at about –32 and –30C, respectively. In buds, LT50 for the tetrazolium test was –18C. The LT50 electrolyte leakage and browning test was –20C.

Full textAbstract:
Howard Dalton was an outstanding microbiologist who, after his remarkably productive DPhil work in the Nitrogen Fixation Laboratory at the University of Sussex, and a short period in the USA, spent his research career at the University of Warwick. He devoted himself to the elucidation of the process of methane oxidation by bacteria that use this relatively inert gas as their sole source of carbon and energy. He discovered two completely novel multicomponent monooxygenase enzymes responsible for the initial oxidation of methane to methanol. He then continued to elucidate their functions, mechanisms, regulation and structures. Their wide substrate specificity led to his interest in using these and related enzymes for biocatalysis, biological transformations and bioremediation. While remaining at Warwick University he also acted as a highly appreciated Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government at the Department for the Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra). Howard was a highly effective scientist, a down-to-earth, self-effacing man, outgoing and witty, an inspirational colleague who above all else made science fun.

The present study reports the results of virological survey in fish with an emphasis on the diseases included in the Czech National Legislation. Monitoring of fish both without symptoms and with a manifested disease was performed within this virological surveillance. Between January 1999 and December 2006, viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), infectious haematopoetic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) were surveyed by the National Reference Laboratory for viral diseases on fish. Among of 3789 sample pools processed, VHSV was detected in seven cases (6× in <I>Oncorhynchus mykiss</I>, 1× in <I>Salmo trutta m. fario)</I>, IHNV was detected in seven cases (6× in <I>Oncorhynchus mykiss</I>, and 1× in <I>Esox lucius </I>) and IPNV was diagnosed once in <I>Oncorhynchus mykis</I>. In four cases, the viral agents were detected in ovarian fluid from broodfish without any clinical symptoms. In the remaining cases the virus was isolated from tissue homogenates. Our results show that ovarian fluid is valuable material for the detection of viral agents during the monitoring of fish diseases.

Objectives: To determine the recurrence rate of Stricture Urethra following Optical Urethrotomy in department of Urology at people’s medical college hospital Nawabshah, a 2 years’ experience. Study Design: Prospective observational. Setting: Department of Urology at People’s Medical College Hospital Nawabshah. Period: January 2016 to January 2018. Methodology: Patients who fulfill inclusion criteria were admitted through Urology OPD. An informed consent was taken. All baseline investigations / Antegrade and Retrograde Urethrogram, Qmax in uroflowmetery, post void residual ultrasound scan were performed in all cases. The patients were asked to attend the OT after anesthetic assessment, under spinal anesthesia. They were advised to have follow-up visits with uroflowmetery and PVR. All the collected data was filled on Performa. Data was analyzed through SPSS Version 20.0. Results: A total of 95 patients (100 %) underwent first session of DVIU, out of 95 patients 37 patients (38.95 %) showed improvement in subjective, while remaining 58 patients (61.05%) showed deterioration. so they underwent second session of DVIU. After second session of DVIU 15 patients (25.86%) out of remaining 58 patients showed improvement, while 43 patients (74.14%) remained in agony, So I counseled them all (remaining 43 patients) for third sitting of DVIU or open urethroplasty. Out of 43 remaining patients only 23 patients willingly underwent third session of DVIU and remaining 20 patients refused and they directly underwent open end to end urethroplasty. The 23 patients, who underwent DVIU, have failed and finally they also underwent urethroplasty. Conclusion: The recurrence rate after DVIU has based on multiple factors that should be properly addressed during treatment planning to avoid unnecessary re treatment, to decrease the rate of more invasive open surgical procedure.

GOM Lease Sale Generates $121 Million in High Bids; Shell Offshore Takes Top Spot Regionwide US Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Lease Sale 256 generated $120,868,274 in high bids for 93 tracts in federal waters. The sale on 18 November featured 14,862 unleased blocks covering 121,875 square miles. With $27,877,809 spanning 21 high bids, Shell Offshore Inc. took the top spot among 23 competing companies. A total of $135,558,336 was offered in 105 bids. Among the majors, Shell, Equinor, BP, and Chevron submitted some of the highest bids. Each company claimed high bids of over $17 million, signaling the GOM remains a priority in their portfolios. Last year was a record year for American offshore oil production at 596.9 million bbl, or 15% of domestic oil production, and $5.7 billion in direct revenues to the government. Offshore oil and gas supported 275,000 total domestic jobs and $60 billion total economic contributions in the US. “The sustained presence of large deposits of hydrocarbons in these waters will continue to draw the interest of industry for decades to come,” Deputy Secretary of the Interior Kate MacGregor said. Still, as Mfon Usoro, senior research analyst at Wood Mackenzie, noted, “Although bidding activity increased by 30% from the March 2020 sale, the high bid amount of $121 million still trends below the average high bid amount seen in previous regionwide lease sales, proving that companies are still being conservative with exploration spend.” Although the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has proposed another regionwide GOM lease sale in March 2021, Usoro predicted that Lease Sale 256 “could potentially be one of the last lease sales.” “With the Biden administration set to inaugurate next year and possibly ban future lease sales, a massive land grab might have ensued,” he continued. “But companies are constrained by tight budgets due to the prevailing low oil price. Additionally, companies in the region have existing drilling inventory to sustain them in the near term. The best blocks with the highest potential reserves are likely already leased. As a result, we do not expect a potential ban on leasing to materially impact production in the region until the end of the decade.” This was the seventh offshore sale held under the 2017–2022 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program; two sales a year for 10 total regionwide lease sales are scheduled for the gulf. Nine Areas on Norwegian Continental Shelf Open for Bids The 25th licensing round on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, comprising eight areas in the Barents Sea and one in the Norwegian Sea, has been announced by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. Known for being a country with some of the greenest credentials and policies in the world, Norway surprised observers in June by announcing plans for a licensing round that signaled further oil exploration in the Norwegian sector of the Arctic Sea. In this round, 136 blocks/parts of blocks will be available: 11 in the Norwegian Sea and 125 in the Barents Sea. The application deadline for companies is 23 February 2021. New production licenses will be awarded in Q2 2021. Johan Sverdrup Capacity Increased to Half Million B/D Following positive results in a November capacity test, the Johan Sverdrup field is set to increase daily production capacity. Capacity will rise from today’s 470,000 to around 500,000 B/D in the second increase since the field came on stream just over a year ago. The move will increase the field’s total production capacity by around 60,000 bbl more than the original basis when the field came on line. Overall, the field is estimated to have resources of 2.7 billion BOE. “The field has low operating costs, providing revenue for the companies and Norwegian society, even in periods with low prices,” said Jez Averty, Equinor’s senior vice president for operations south in development and production, Norway. The Johan Sverdrup field uses water injection to secure high recovery of reserves and maintain production at a high level. An increase in the water-injection capacity should further increase production capacity by mid-2021, according to Rune Nedregaard, vice president for Johan Sverdrup operations. Phase 2 production starting in Q4 2022 will raise the Johan Sverdrup full-field plateau production capacity from 690,000 to around 720,000 B/D. Equinor operates the field with 42.6% stake; other partners include Lundin Norway (20%), Petoro (17.36%), Aker BP (11.57%), and Total (8.44%). ConocoPhillips Makes Significant Gas Discovery Offshore Norway ConocoPhillips announced a new natural-gas condensate discovery in production license 1009, located 22 miles northwest of the Heidrun oil and gas field and 150 miles offshore Norway in the Norwegian Sea. The wildcat well 6507/4-1 (Warka) was drilled in 1,312 ft of water to a total depth of 16,355 ft. Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 50 and 190 million BOE. Further appraisals will determine potential flow rates, the reservoir’s ultimate resource recovery, and plans for development. “The Warka discovery and potential future opportunities represent very low cost-of-supply resource additions that can extend our multi-decade success on the Norwegian Continental Shelf,” said Matt Fox, executive vice president and chief operating officer. The drilling operation, which was permitted to ConocoPhillips in August 2020, was performed by the Transocean-managed Leiv Eiriksson semisubmersible rig. ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS is the main operator of the license with a 65% working interest; PGNiG Upstream Norway AS holds the remaining stake. Lundin Energy Completes Barents Sea Exploration Well, Comes Up Dry Lundin Energy has completed exploration well 7221/4-1, targeting the Polmak prospect in licenses PL609 and PL1027, in the southern Barents Sea. The well was meant to prove hydrocarbons in Triassic-aged sandstones within the Kobbe formation of the Polmak prospect. After finding indications of hydrocarbons in a 9-m interval in poor-quality reservoir in the targeted formation, the well was classified as dry. The well was drilled 30 km east of the Johan Castberg discovery, by the Seadrill-operated West Bollsta semisubmersible rig. Lundin Energy, operator of Polmak, holds a 47.51% working interest. Partners are Wintershall DEA Norge AS (25%), Inpex Norge AS (10%), DNO Norge AS (10%), and Idemitsu Petroleum Norge AS (7.5%). Polmak is the first of Lundin’s three high-impact exploration prospects drilled this quarter in the Barents Sea; the wells target gross unrisked prospective resources of over 800 million bbl of oil. The West Bollsta rig will now proceed to drill the Lundin Energy-operated Bask prospect in PL533B. Well 7219/11-1 will target Paleocene-aged sandstones, estimated to hold gross unrisked prospective resources of 250 million bbl of oil. Tullow Sells Remaining Stake in Ugandan Oil Field Tullow Oil has completed the 10 November sale of its assets in Uganda to French giant Total for $500 million. Tullow will also receive $75 million when a final investment decision is taken on the development project, calculated to hold 1.7 billion bbl of crude oil. Contingent payments are payable after production begins if Brent crude prices rise above $62/bbl. The completion of this transaction marks Tullow’s exit from its licenses in Uganda after 16 years of operations in the Lake Albert basin. The deal is designed to strengthen Tullow’s balance sheet, as tumbling crude prices combined with exploration setbacks have created problems for the company. In September, the company reported that it had lost $1.3 billion in the first 6 months of 2020 as falling oil prices forced it to write down the value of its assets. The deal cut Tullow’s net debt to $2.4 billion; it has $1 billion in cash.

Full textAbstract:
A new Forest Litter Decomposition Model (FLDM) is presented to simulate mass, N and carbon/nitrogen ratios (C/N) according to the 1992–1998 leaf litterbag data of the Canadian Intersite Decomposition Experiment (CIDET). This experiment involved 10 litter types, with litterbags placed on the ground of 18 upland and 3 wetland sites across Canada. The calibrated model based on first-order reaction kinetics calculates total mass, N concentration and C/N for each litter type and location using: three compartments (fast, slow, and very slow), four parameters for compartment initialization; three for compartment-based decay; three to assess the climate influence on decay; and one each to determine the rate o f N-mineralization and the final C/N ratio. With FLDM, the initial fast fraction is determined from the initial water-extractable and acid-hydrolyzable or acid-unhydrolyzable portions of the litter; the initial ash content determines the ratio between the slow and very slow fractions. Mean July and January air temperatures, and annual precipitation, determine the climate effect on litter decay. Initial N concentration and the upland-wetland difference determine the N-mineralization coefficient. Model performance was fairly consistent by litter type, location, and year; r2 ranged from 0.83 to 0.97, from 0.64 to 0.92 and from 0.54 to 0.93 for mass remaining, N concentration and C/N, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
To reduce organic waste in catfish maintenance media (Clarias gariepinus) and waste management wastes a cultivation management technology is needed, one of these technologies is bioremediation using Bacillus subtilis as a bioremediator. This study aims to analyze the parameters of organic matter content including TOM (Total Organic Matter), Protein, Carbohydrates and Fat. The study was conducted in January-February 2019. This study used a factorial completely randomized design (Factorial RAL) with the addition of Bacillus subtilis 4 treatments including controls (K = Control, D1 = 100 ml / L, D2 = 10 ml / L and D3 = 1 ml / L) at 24th, 48th, 72nd, 96th and 120th hours, consisting of three replications. The results obtained from this study indicate that the concentrations of each parameters in treatments D1, D2 and D3 were lower than those of controls, indicating that Bacillus subtilis can reduce organic waste from catfish ponds. The best treatment was W5D2 as bioremediation of catfish organic waste with the remaining TOM 16.23% with an efficiency value of 84%, remaining protein 86.66% with an efficiency value of 13%, remaining carbohydrate 63.91% with an efficiency value of 36% and remaining Fat 52.69% with an efficiency value of 47%.

AbstractThe United Kingdom has left the European Union on 31 January 2020. Discussions that preceded such a move were conducted in three dimensions: they pertained a post-Brexit relationship between the UK and EU, future conduct within the UK and the one within the EU. Whilst public discourse has been dominated by the first two, this paper approaches the third one – on how Brexit has affected relationships between remaining 27 EU Member States. Stemming from the calculation of Banzhaf indices, it assesses the impact of Brexit on the voting power of remaining Member States in the Council of the EU – arguably the most important body within the EU institutional architecture – and identifies which countries are going to record the most significant gains and losses in this respect.

This chapter discusses Beyer's works for large ensembles, from her nine-instrument March of 1935 to her full-orchestra Symphonic Movement II of 1941. Seven of these works were for the forces of the Romantic orchestra, with enhanced percussion sections. Until recently, Beyer's Fragment for Chamber Orchestra (January 1937) was her only orchestral piece that had ever been performed. It was premiered by the Ensemble Resonanz and recorded live by Westdeutscher Rundfunk during a festival in Cologne, Germany, in 1999. Soon after Fragment for Chamber Orchestra, Beyer composed her first work for full orchestra, the four-movement Symphonic Suite (January–July 1937), which the composer estimated to be about twenty-four minutes long. Beyer's remaining orchestral works include the Symphonic Movement I (1939), Symphonic Suites 1 and 2, the four-movement Symphonic Op. 3 (1939), the three-movement Symphonic Op. 5 (1940), and CYRNAB (1937).

This chapter charts the long association of the UK with the EU. It considers all aspects of this relationship including pre membership, entry to the EC (EU), the first UK EU referendum in 1975 and the relationship over five decades. It considers how EU law was granted supremacy over UK law and how the courts viewed this. It considers the period up to and, including the 2016 UK EU referendum on exiting or remaining in the EU and the immediate consequences of that. Finally, and now most importantly, it looks at the negotiations and means by which the UK legally exited the EU on 31 January and the movement into the next stage of that relationship: the future trade relationship with the EU.

In April 2016 we published an explorative article about the marriages of Dutch-speaking women in jihadi-held areas in Syria. In January 2017, this article became the focus of a huge media hype in the Netherlands and beyond, after a national newspaper presented our work as a case of how cyber-jihadists had been able to influence academic research. Within days, a series of parliamentary questions were asked, followed by an audit commissioned by the Board of the University of Amsterdam. The Board concluded that we had complied with all ethics requirements. In this multi-vocal contribution, we reflect on this affair by making extensive use of posts from our three-person WhatsApp group. We present the unfolding of the affair, how we were addressed, individually and collectively, and how we responded. While we argued against publicly investigating personal (including religious) backgrounds of researchers, the force of the security discourse rendered it nearly impossible to engage in a discussion about content. Not only did we need to engage with different publics, we were also addressed in different ways by the very same publics. Only by persistently addressing sub-publics and publishing about the affair, we were able to undo some of the damage.

This chapter highlights Peter S. Paine's responsibilities and works at Cleary Gottlieb, an international law firm with offices on an upper floor of a skyscraper in downtown Manhattan. It discusses the eight Adirondack bills sent to the legislature in 1971 and the four remaining bills reintroduced to the legislature in January 1972. Paine acted as a liaison between the Adirondack Park Agency (APA), his fellow Temporary Study Commission (TSC) alumni, and state legislators to move those four bills along. The chapter outlines the importance of the bills to the TSC's vision of the Adirondacks, and emphasizes the APA's main job to draft two land use plans: the State Land Master Plan, and the Land Use and Development. It further discusses the remaining TSC bills as they moved through the legislature: the Environmental Quality Bond Act; the Wild, Scenic, and Recreational Rivers Act; a bill that would require a constitutional amendment to diminish the park's boundaries; and a bill that expanded the size of the park by about 250,000 acres. Ultimately, the chapter assesses the APA board's struggles with town governments trying to sneak by the agency, crossed signals from Albany, and the board's biggest problem: it was split, with five APA members solidly in favor of regional zoning, one whose support was conditional, and three who were skeptical of the idea.

This chapter discusses Celso Cesare Moreno's later life, focusing on his decline as a public personality. From 1894, Moreno, now living in the United States, experienced the most difficult period of his life. He had to retreat to a more subdued existence, although he continued to frequent places of power such as Congress. This chapter considers Moreno's activities and some of the issues in which he was involved during his remaining years, including those concerning Italian Americans and his testimony in the House Committee on Territories in January 1899 about the issue of Hawaii's “Crown lands.” It also examines Moreno's initial support for Robert William Wilcox's candidacy for governor of Hawaii, how he turned against the latter on the eve of the elections, and his smear campaign against Wilcox after the elections. Finally, it describes the newspapers' reactions to Moreno's death on March 10, 1901.

Full textAbstract:
In Mali, as analyzed by Vincent Joly, military continuities led in 1961 to a real crisis. In January 1961 Modibo Keïta, the President of the independent country, enforced the evacuation of the remaining French troops. The worries of the Malian government had been intensified by French activities during the Algerian War and by French nuclear tests in the south of the Sahara. Under the pretext of Malian anger over French behaviour during the split of the Federation of Mali one year earlier, the government in Bamako – defender of increasingly ‘radical’ positions – gladly used this occasion to get rid of structures that effectively constituted a counterweight in the country. The new Malian political elite were particularly distrustful of the presence of the French military forces because French officials maintained close relations to army veterans and to the nomadic populations in the north of the country. Joly interprets the process leading to the 1961 crisis as characteristic of the complex decolonization processes, in which the French army had its own clients and networks in the now-independent countries.

IN BOTH Warsaw and Budapest, fragments of the wartime ghetto walls survive in the heart of the contemporary city. In Warsaw, the best-preserved sections are reached through the courtyard of the apartment block at 62 Zlota Street where the red bricks of the wall contrast strikingly with the ubiquitous post-war grey, pebble-dashed facade of the surrounding buildings. In Budapest, a stretch of wall is much more immediately visible in the courtyard of the Dohány Street synagogue in central Pest where it stands as a very intentional communist-era memorial. The differing visibilities reflect the very different fates of these two ghettos. In Budapest, the ghetto walls and gates mattered in the post-war communist era due to the unique story of this ghetto being liberated—by the Red Army—rather than being liquidated and razed to the ground, as was the case in Warsaw. As the text of communist-era memorials reveals, in Budapest a story was told of the Soviets as those who broke down ghetto walls. The plaque close to one of the former gates of the Pest ghetto celebrated the moment when ‘the liberating Soviet Army broke down the ghetto walls on 18 January 1945 ‘, while a short distance away the plaque on the stretch of ghetto wall served ‘as an eternal reminder of the day forty years ago when the wall surrounding the only ghetto remaining in Europe was broken down by the Soviet Army, liberators of our homeland’....

Full textAbstract:
As the seasons turned and a new year passed, Love Canal remained a whirlwind of remediation activity. “A plan is being set in motion now to implement technical procedures designed to meet the seemingly impossible job of detoxifying the Canal area,” EPA administrator Eckardt C. Beck declared in January 1979. Though a cold Western New York winter had set in, Beck explained that everything remained on track. “The plan calls for a trench system to drain chemicals from the Canal. It is a difficult procedure, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will yield some degree of success.” Beck reiterated that securing Love Canal’s poisons, rather than evacuating all area residents, remained the key to the neighborhood’s future. While conceding that no “one has paid more dearly already than the residents,” Beck commented that the Love Canal “tragedy” was well on its way to a successful resolution. Beck was wrong. In February, New York declared homes beyond the inner ring potential health hazards to pregnant women and children under age 2. Health officials recommended temporary evacuation but no more home buyouts. While roughly two dozen families exited, remaining residents exploded. If the broader neighborhood was deemed unsafe, they clamored, then everyone should be evacuated. The LCHA, several of whose members had been arrested in December for blocking remediation vehicles, intensified its protests but to no avail. Most Love Canal residents remained in a toxic environment. As one person put it dimly, the neighborhood itself had become a chemical “prison.” A local punk band called the Vores captured the area’s dark mood. “Contaminated. We’re all contaminated. Don’t get near us, or you’ll turn blue,” the band growled in a tune entitled simply “The Love Canal.” “Contaminated. We’re all contaminated. Don’t let us move in or you’ll get it too.” The troubling tenor of the times notwithstanding, Love Canal residents refused to give up.

It was Late on a sunny, but bitterly cold mid-February afternoon. Michael Patrick, red-eared from the chill, cast a long shadow across the rough concrete that used to be the Appliance City factory floor. A few months earlier, two-thirds of the expansive ruin had been razed. It was now an extended chinhigh pile of crumbled bricks, broken cinderblocks, mangled rebar, and cornyellow insulation chunks. Patrick, dressed in a corduroy jacket, wool trousers, and a brown wool fedora, remarked that there was little now to stop the bitter Arctic winds that swept through the enormous demolition site. One could see clear through to the Henry C. Hill Correctional Center across the tracks and farther north on Illinois Route 41. The razed portion of the former factory was big enough to fit twenty football fields, side by side. The newest part of the factory was still standing, but vacant. The California-based investment company that owned the property hoped that clearing the “old, antiquated industrial real estate” would make the remaining property more attractive to potential buyers. “When you’re here,” Patrick said, “you think about the people. It was the blood, sweat, and tears of the workers that made this place run. It was ours, you know? We had different owners come and go but we made it run.” He pushed his hands deep into his jacket pockets and shrugged. It was early 2013, and Patrick could mark fifty-four years since he and Bob Dennison, Doug’s father, started packing insulation at Admiral’s Midwest Manufacturing plant on January 26, 1959. Patrick lived alone in a modest brick house on South Pleasant Avenue, just across the BNSF tracks, less than a mile away. The 72-year-old retiree hibernated in the winter, but managed to make each of his granddaughter’s sixth-grade basketball games. When the weather warmed, Patrick took his late model minivan to antique shows, estate sales, and collectors’ conventions. He collected license plates and license plate toppers, die-cast cars, and other trinkets. Earlier that day, over lunch at the Landmark Cafe, we had discussed the wage pressures, retiree obligations, and foreign competition that faced Maytag in the early 2000s.

When Turing arrived at Bletchley Park, the day after Chamberlain’s announcement of war with Germany, he joined Dilly Knox’s Research Section. The job of the Research Section was to study enemy ciphers and operating procedures, and to devise methods of attack. The techniques invented by this high-powered think-tank were then handed over to other sections where they were used operationally against the enemy traffic. In 1939, Enigma was the focus of research. By the time Tutte joined the Research Section, in mid-1941, Captain Gerry Morgan headed it. Tunny soon became the leading problem. Thanks to Tutte, the Research Section broke the Tunny machine in January 1942, and in July read up-to-date traffic for the first time. Tunny could now be tackled operationally, and a Tunny-breaking section was immediately set up under Major Ralph Tester. Several members of the Research Section moved over to the ‘Testery’. Armed with Turingery and other hand methods, the Testery read nearly every message from July to October 1942—thanks to the insecure 12-letter indicator system (see Chapter 3). In October, however, the 12-letter indicators were replaced by QEP numbers and the Testery, now completely reliant on depths, fell on leaner times (see Chapter 5). The Research Section renewed its efforts against Tunny, looking for a means of wheel setting that did not depend on depths. With the invention of Tutte’s method, Newman was given the job of developing the necessary machinery, and when the Heath Robinson was delivered in June 1943 the ‘Newmanry’ became a separate section. From December 1943 the Newmanry would be responsible for breaking and setting the chi-wheels, and the Testery for breaking and setting the remaining wheels manually. The two sections worked hand-in-glove. Initially Newman’s staff consisted of one cryptographer (Michie), two engineers, and 16 Wrens. Soon a second cryptographer arrived (Good), and after three months of experimentation, two or three messages were being set each week. ‘Cryptographers’, ‘engineers’, and ‘Wrens’ remained the principal staffing categories of the Newmanry throughout the war. By May 1945, there were 26 cryptographers, 28 engineers, and 273 Wrens. During the period June 1943 to July 1944, two Americans joined the cryptographic staff of the Newmanry.

"The law stated that 51 per cent of shares in the enterprises processing agricultural produce were to be given free to farms. The remaining shares could be sold to farms or members of the staff working at the enterprises either for privatization certificates or for cash (Business Central Europe, December 1995–January 1996, p. 27). In early 1996 parliament approved a largely unchanged law, which proposed giving collective farm directors a free 51 per cent stake in the agro-industrial enterprises, mostly in food processing and handling. The law would effectively remove half the enterprises from the voucher privatization programme. The 4,270 agro-industrial enterprises, both private and state-owned, would be sold afresh. It is not exactly clear, but agro-industrial workers could mop up the remaining shares through a closed auction or the remaining stake could be sold through the voucher programme. President Kuchma vetoed the bill on 21 February 1996. (Parliamentary speaker Moroz called on local governments to ignore a November 1995 decree which cautiously mandated limited sales of land within collectives, which are slowly being broken up.)

Full textAbstract:
The WR21 Intercooled and Recuperated (ICR) gas turbine has been developed to meet the future military needs for a fuel efficient, low cost of ownership, high power marine gas turbine. The engine is rated at 25.6MW (ISO) and has an outstanding pedigree derived from its two parent engines, the Rolls-Royce aero RB211 and Trent. Having completed development in February 2000, a 3000 hour endurance test is now underway and a shock test is planned to qualify the engine for entry into service in the Royal Navy, United States Navy and French Navy. The 3000 hour endurance test commenced at DCN Indret, France in January 2001 and is planned to complete April 2002. Shock testing, conducted on the unrefurbished endurance engine, will complete in late 2002. The three Navies have invested considerable time and effort in developing comprehensive running profiles that will thoroughly test the engine to the satisfaction of all parties. The first 1500 - 2000 hours will be conducted with the engine operating in the mechanical drive configuration, with the remaining running simulating the engine driving a conventional constant speed alternator.

Purpose: To explore the reasons of hysterectomy and indications of post-hysterectomy radiotherapy in carcinoma cervix cases. Methods: From January 2013 to May 2015, medical records of 64 cases of carcinoma cervix (post-hysterectomy) who were referred for radiotherapy to our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Medical records of 64 cases were reviewed. The median age was 47 years. In 45% of females hysterectomy was done in towns, but in majority of cases (55%) hysterectomy was done in different cities of Rajasthan. Simple hysterectomy was done in 31 of (48%) cases. Wertheim’s hysterectomy was done in remaining 33 cases (52%). 15 cases (23%) were treated by IMRT technique, while remaining 87% cases were treated by 3DCRT technique to dose of 50 Gy in 25 fractions followed by CVS brachytherapy. All cases also received concurrent chemotherapy. Reason for hysterectomy was analyzed. In 32 (50%) cases, biopsy from gross lesion at cervix or PAP smear test was not done before surgery. In 32 cases (50%) understaging of the tumor or inadequate staging before hysterectomy was performed. Histopathology report analysis revealed that in 9 cases (14%) primary tumor size was less than 4 cm, in 27 cases (64%) there was no comment on pT size, in 22% cases primary tumor was larger than 4 cm. Surprisingly in one case the pT size was 7 cm. LVSI was not seen in 18 cases (28%), positive in 20 case (31%) and with no comment in 26 cases. More than 50% of stroma thickness was involved in 54 cases (84%), and in remaining 10 cases there was no comment on stroma invasion. In 33 cases (52%) pelvic lymphadenectomy was done, in 48% cases lymph nodes were not addressed in surgery. In 36 cases (56%) pelvic lymph node metastasis was seen either in preoperative imaging (USG/CT scan) or in histopathology. Median follow-up duration was 6 months. Locoregional failure was seen in 10 cases (16%), 6 cases (9%) also developed distant metastasis. Conclusion: Failure to perform biopsy from gross lesion at or under staging/inadequate staging before surgery was the main reasons for inappropriate hysterectomy for carcinoma cervix. Inappropriate hysterectomy followed by chemo-radiotherapy resulted in poor tumor control rate as in our study, 1 out of every 4 patients failed loco-regionally with median follow up of 6 months. Strict adherence to guidelines for cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment is advised to prevent inappropriate hysterectomy.

Full textAbstract:
An overview of API 579 Recommended Practice For Fitness-For-Service [1] is presented in this paper. This document was initially released in January of 2000 and since that time has become the de facto international fitness-for-service standard for the refining and petrochemical industry. Insights into the driving force to create API 579 and the activities of an MPC Joint Industry Project to initiate development of the new FFS technologies included in this publication are discussed. A detailed overview of API 579 is then given that covers applicability of the FFS assessment procedures, overall organization, the general assessment methodology used for all flaw and damage types, options for different assessment levels, remaining life and rerating issues, and the relationship with other existing FFS codes and standards. A discussion of the changes planned for the next release of API 579, efforts to validate the fitness-for-service technology incorporated in API 579, and a discussion of a new API document pertaining to damage mechanisms and the relationship to a fitness-for-service assessment are provided. Plans for a joint API and ASME standard and future directions of the API in-service inspection codes relative to API 579 and equipment integrity are also covered.

Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of women with uterine carcinosarcoma. Methods: The medical records of all patients admitted with uterine carcinosarcoma between January 2012 and October 2015 were reviewed. Baseline characteristics were compared and survival was calculated using Kaplan Meier method and compared using log rank test. Results: The total number of uterine malignancies operated in our centre over this time period was 247 of which 33 were sarcomas (13%). Median age of presentation was 56 years (21-77 years). Most women were postmenopausal (76%) and 46% of them presented with post menopausal bleeding.There were 16 carcinosarcomas of the uterus. Eight presented at Stage 1 (50%) and the remaining 8 in stage III or IV. All patients had TAH/BSO but only 15 had omentectomy and 12 had pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. Adjuvant treatment was given only to 10 (63%). Seven patients had expired at the time of follow up. The mean survival was 502 days (304-699) with a median of 284 days. Patients who received adjuvant therapy did better compared to those who did not (p=0.05). Conclusions: Carcinosarcomas are aggressive tumours and the optimal therapy is yet to be determined. Adequate surgical staging followed by adjuvant therapy improves survival.

Objective: To present comparison of survival outcomes between locally advanced adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with definitive chemoradiation. Methods: It is a retrospective analysis and direct comparison between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma cervix treated from January 2011 to December 2015. Of 73 patients analyzed 61 had squamous carcinoma histology and remaining 12 had adenocarcinoma. Inclusion criteria were patients with locally advanced stage (IIA) who have completed definitive chemoradiation and were available for response evaluation at 3 months of completion of treatment. Endpoints for the study were disease response evaluation at 3 months, progression rate, median progression free survival, median recurrence free survival, median loco-regional control, median distant metastasis free survival, median overall survival. Results: There was no significant difference between the two histology groups with respect to rate of achieving complete response (78.6 vs 75%, p = 0.718) and rate of disease progression (36% vs 50%, p = 0.517). There was no significant difference between median PFS (57.75 vs 17.74 months; p = 0.964), median RFS (NR vs 66.03 months; p = 0.876), median loco-regional control (not reached for both; p = 0.315), median DMFS (NR vs 66.03 months; p = 0.438) and median OS (NR vs 66.13 months; p = 0.884). Conclusions: Locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma treated with definitive chemoradiation have similar outcomes. Small sample size is the limitation of this study.

Full textAbstract:
Special tooling has been deployed to segment the Moderator Tank (MT) at the Carolinas-Virginia Tube Reactor (CVTR) Parr site near Jenkinsville, South Carolina. The MT or reactor vessel, the most activated component remaining on site which included over 1,000 Ci of activation products, has been segmented into sections to fit within three hardware liners and three custom boxes. This work has been completed in approximately 12 months from tool conception to final packaging with no spread of contamination, no generation of secondary wastes and minimizing personnel radiological exposure. With contact dose readings in excess of 90 R/hr, segmentation of the MT had to be performed remotely and with the assurance that the spread of contamination to otherwise clean areas of the reactor building did not occur. Additionally, since the MT was entombed within a bioshield not capable of containing water, cutting had to be performed dry without benefit of shielding typically provided by the water of a spent fuel pool. In addition, the component removal scope included the removal, packaging and disposal of other activated components including thermal shields and the steel liner from the internal face of the bioshield. Concept engineering began in January 2006. Tools were tested and delivered in May 2006. Segmentation was completed in December 2006, followed by the removal of the thermal shields and bioshield liner. The component removal work was completed without the spread of contamination, no generation of secondary waste and an exposure total of 17 person rem.

This study was conducted to determine the nutritional status of primary school children with the mid-day meal program. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 05 primary schools with the mid-day meal program of Sundarganj Upazila of Gaibandha district from January 01 to December 31, 2017. A total of 357 primary school children of class IV and class V were selected using a systematic sampling technique. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the school children of mid-day meal program schools. The anthropometric measurements such as weight, height and MUAC were measured for each child individually. Then weight and height were used to calculate the Z score to interpret nutritional status. The mean age of children was 10.83±1.03 years. The mean weight and mean height of children were 32.40±7.21 kg and 141.22±8.52 cm respectively, and the mean MUAC was 19.65±2.31 cm. It was revealed that 91.3% of children were normal by Height for Age (HAZ) and 89.1% were normal by Weight for Age (WAZ), and the remaining children were stunted and underweight respectively. 78.8% of children used anthelminthic drugs regularly and among them, 74.3% were normal in Weight for Age Z score. Socioeconomic status, dietary habit, physical activity and anthelminthic use by the child were found to be determinants of their nutritional status.

Wave height, period and direction are basic parameters for designing off-shore structures. Besides this direct application, knowledge of the regional characteristics of a wave field can also help in the selection of optimal regions for wave power energy plant design and installation. A wave climatology based on data generated by a WAVEWATCH III model simulation (NOAA WW3) for the Brazilian coast was analyzed and validated against statistical values derived from opportunity vessel measurements. The hindcast covered the period from January 1997 to December 2005 in a region between 5°N – 40°S and 10°W – 65°W. The grid used was uniform with a 0.25° spacial resolution. The boundary conditions were obtained from NOAA WW3 operational model and the atmospheric forcing from NOAA GFS model. The model results were calibrated with field data and detailed information about the simulation can be obtained in Alves et al. (2008) and Alves et al. (in press). Monthly averages of significant height, period and wavelength were calculated using 3 hour time resolution fields. Since a simple mean direction has small physical representativeness, the predominant direction (moda) and associated persistency were obtained from the data. The results were then compared with values from the U.S. Navy Marine Climate Atlas of the World. This Atlas has four points located within the selected model grid region. These points showed good agreement with wave period, height and direction persistency based on the WW3 simulation results. The wave climatology showed that the predominant wave direction from April to July was from S and SE in southern Brazil, associated with swells related to cold fronts. The S and SE swells were also responsible for the largest mean wave height (2.1 m) observed in the climatology. Another result that was validated with the literature was the E and NE predominant wave direction during the austral summer. This phenomenon is associated with winds originated from the South Atlantic High Pressure Center, which is a semi permanent high pressure center near Trindade Island. The wave climate in northern Brazil showed a predominant direction from the N during January to March, associated with the northern hemisphere winter storms. During the remaining months of the year, the predominant wave direction is E and NE associated with trade winds. The model results are still in a processing phase to produce extreme values, which will be more useful for coastal and off-shore structure design.

Abstract Introduction Immunotherapy has revolutionized treatment in metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without driver mutations. Trial data shows that programmed death-1/PDL1 blockade in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and other driver mutation positive lung cancers is not beneficial; and instead maybe detrimental. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of immune check point inhibitors in a series of patients with EGFR and other driver mutation–positive advanced NSCLC. Objectives This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of immune check point inhibitors in a series of patients with EGFR and other driver mutation–positive advanced NSCLC. Materials and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 75 patients which received PD1/PDL1 inhibitors for advanced NSCL between January 2017 and January 2020. Ten patients were detected to have driver mutations on either tumor tissue or blood by next-generation sequencing (NGS). PDL1 status was assessed on SP263 ventana platform. Results Out of 10 patients, 7 were male and 3 were female. EGFR was detected in six patients (three on tumor and three in blood NGS), MET exon 14 skipping mutation in two patients, and RAS mutation in two patients on NGS in blood. Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy was given in 5 (50%) patients, immunotherapy + bevacizumab + chemotherapy in two (20%) and immunotherapy alone in three patients (30%). Immunotherapy was started as first line in four patients as tumor tissue was negative for EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 by single gene testing. The remaining six patients received immunotherapy on progression in the second or subsequent lines. On NGS testing at progression, EGFR mutation was detected in one patient, MET exon 14 skip mutation was detected in two patients, and RAS mutation was detected in two patients. Immunotherapy alone was used in three patients in view of advanced age and multiple comorbidities. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5 months (range: 2–11 months). Two patients who received chemotherapy + bevacizumab + immunotherapy continue to do well without progression at 9 months. Conclusion PD1/PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors seem to have a limited impact in treatment in patients with driver mutations. Molecular testing by NGS is recommended either on tumor tissue or on blood by NGS if single gene testing for EGFR/ALK/ROS1 alterations is negative. We recommend not using single agent checkpoint inhibitors in molecular driven advanced NSCLC even with high PDL1 expression. We do see benefit in patients who received PD1/PDL1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy with bevacizumab. In conclusion, in patients with molecular-driven NSCLC who progress after standard therapy can be treated with PD1/PDL1 inhibitors, but this should always be given in combination with chemotherapy and bevacizumab.

Full textAbstract:
In the recent decades, droughts and dry episodes throughout a year have become common for both arid and humid regions. The Carpathian Mountains referred to as natural water towers are also the case. Accordingly, the study aims and distinguishing monthly and daily patterns and peculiarities of precipitation shortage in the high-mountain areas (above 1000 m) of the Polish and the Ukrainian Carpathians using monthly and daily data series (1984-2015) of weather stations Kasprowy Wierch (1991 m a.s.l), Dolina Pięciu Stawów (1670 m a.s.l) and Morskie Oko (1408 m a.s.l) in the Polish Carpathians, Play (1343 m a.s.l) and Pogegevskaya (1429 m a.s.l) in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Here, in all the months throughout a year, dry episodes have been detected. In the Polish Carpathians, represented by three measuring stations, the driest episodes in the years took place from August to October and January, and slightly less – about 11-16% in the remaining months. In the monthly context, the highest frequency of dry months, exceeding 20%, is detected in June both in Pogegevskaya, as well and in April and July in Play. In March, April, as well as November extreme atmospheric drought took place in the entire area of the Polish Tatra Mountains, the highest mountain range of the Polish Carpathians. In all the measuring stations of the area in November 2011, the precipitation amount did not exceed 11 mm. They accounted for less than 10% of the average multiannual precipitation sum. Alongside, the positive trend in the years from 1984 to 2015 with significance levels of 0.1 and 0.2 was only established in the lowest monthly precipitation sums at Pogegevskaya. The longest episodes without precipitation, periods that begin and end with a day without precipitation, are detected in most parts of the study area in October and November 2011, especially in the western and southern parts of the Polish Carpathians.
