Abstract:
It has been proposed that depression is the product of deficits in self-management skills: self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement. While interventions based on this theory have shown promise, some of the basic tenets upon which the theory is based lack empirical support. The present experiment tested one such tenet—the claim that depressed individuals select smaller more immediate reinforcers (an impulsive choice) at the expense of larger more delayed reinforcers (a self-control choice). Currently, empirical support for this notion is sparse and contradictory. This study addr

Abstract:
Diet-induced obesity is a laboratory procedure in which nonhuman animals are chronically exposed to a high-fat, high-sugar diet (i.e. cafeteria diet), which results in weight gain, altered sensitivity to reward, and alterations in the dopamine D2 system. To date, few (if any) studies have examined age-related diet-induced obesity effects in a rat model or have used an impulsive choice task to characterize diet-induced behavioral alterations in reward processes. We exposed rats to a cafeteria-style diet for eight weeks starting at age 21 or 70 days. Following the diet exposures, the rats were t

Abstract:
Since the wide cracks or large deflections can have a significant effect on the appearance of concrete elements and may cause some uncommon behavior, therefore, serviceability of concrete structures requires investigation. The main objective of this paper is to study experimentally the serviceability of continuous reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by Ni-Ti strands. In addition, some building code provisions were used to calculate crack width and deflection. The current study presents the experimental results to verify the accuracy of building codes’ provisions for continuous RC beams

Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC) is typically defined as concrete having a density smaller than or equal to 2200kg/m3 and can be obtained by mixing natural or artificial lightweight aggregates. There is a general scepticism regarding the use of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) for structural applications. This concern is attached to the more brittle material behaviour which leads to lower ductility.

It includes a range of topics in psychology and metaphysics. Plato’s Philebus is the ancestor of this approach. Its first premise, defended also in Book I of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, is that the final agential good is the good human life. Though Aristotle introduces this premise

At the end of World War II, the U.S. Navy was more than twice as large as all the rest of the navies of the world combined. The inevitable contraction that followed was less draconian than after previous wars because of the almost immediate emergence of the Cold War. ‘Confronting the Soviets: the Cold War navy (1945–1975)’ explains that while deterring a Soviet missile strike remained a primary mission of all of America’s services throughout the Cold War, the United States also confronted a series of smaller wars around the world. These included the Korean War, unrest in the Middle East, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War, 1965–74.

Abstract:
Often our everyday decisions unfold over time and what we want today is not always consistent with what we might want tomorrow. Understanding why many people do not behave in a way that is consistent with their own long-term best interests is a key challenge for behavioural economists and policy-makers. ‘Taking time’ explains how humans (and animals) suffer from present bias: we have a disproportionate preference for smaller, immediate rewards over delayed, larger rewards—a reflection of underlying time inconsistency. It considers the intertemporal tussle between our patient and impatient selves, pre-commitment strategies, and self-control. The behavioural life cycle models of choice bracketing, framing, and mental accounting are also discussed.

The cultural histories of the coastal margins that shape Seatangled point to new, and sometimes revived, understandings of what it means to live by the sea, even as the chemistry of the oceans changes before us. It may be then that a turn towards the coast is a turn also towards a more sustainable, and a smaller-scale, sense of community, capable at the same time of holding the planet in view. If the sea has recently been more remote from the immediate experience of everyday life than it was a century ago, the representation of its tidal margins remains a rich resource for images of self, sovereignty and the blurred boundaries between reality and the imagination, one example of which the conclusion studies is Sean Scully’s exhibition Sea Star, at the National Gallery in London.

Many smaller projects also date from this period. There were several designs for book plates for individuals and organizations, including a number of full-colour designs for Christmas cards. Some of his commercial illustrations during the immediate post-war years include several advertisements for Nescafé, a new instant coffee, which were published in popular magazines such as Collier's.

Abstract:
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, his or her entire family is affected. Parents are shocked and devastated when they learn of the cancer diagnosis and soon after diagnosis are responsible for making difficult treatment decisions that may cause their child pain and fear. Siblings may witness the physical and emotional pain of their brother or sister and their parents and experience sudden, extended separations from them. Family roles and responsibilities shift to accommodate cancer treatment and to attend to the needs of the ill child. These new demands must be balanced with the family’s previous dynamics and their implicit goals of fostering growth and development within the family. Furthermore, the reactions of individual family members have an impact on each other and can influence the way in which the child approaches cancer treatment (i.e., procedure-related distress and adherence). The purpose of this chapter is to discuss issues pertinent to the family when a child is on treatment for cancer. Like all childhood illnesses, childhood cancers occur within a complex network of social systems, such as health care, school/peers, and the family (Kazak, Rourke, &amp; Crump, 2003). A helpful framework for conceptualizing the important social contexts that influence and are influenced by a developing child is the social ecology model (Bronfrenbrenner, 1977). This model proposes that the child is at the center of many nested social systems, typically depicted as a series of concentric circles surrounding the child. Large macrosystems such as culture and societal values comprise the outermost circle, and smaller, more immediate microsystems such as the family, neighborhood, and school are depicted nearer to the child. Although all of these systems are important in the development of a child and useful for understanding adaptation of children with chronic illnesses (Kazak, 1989; Kazak &amp; Christakis, 1996), the most important and immediate social system that involves the child is his or her family. Our most basic conceptualizations of the ways in which families work stem from biologically based general systems theory (Engle, 1980; von Bertalanffy, 1968). Systems theory is inherently integrative and complex and highlights principles of organization and interrelatedness.

Abstract:
We have already noted among the crosscurrents of the postwar decade assimilative tendencies that ran counter to a key impulse of the Catholic Revival— the drive to build a distinctive Catholic culture and thereby “to redeem all things in Christ.” Here we look more systematically at the most significant of those countervailing tendencies from the late 1940s, when they were still a minor theme, to the early 1960s when they merged with the forces unleashed by the Second Vatican Council. We begin with a development in American Catholic historical scholarship—research devoted to the Americanist controversy of the 1890s. The results of this research began to appear during the war; over the next fifteen years, books and articles on the subject assumed the proportions of a small flood. Taken as a whole, the new scholarship reinforced midcentury Catholic liberalism and helped prepare the way for the deeper changes of the 1960s. At bottom, the late nineteenth-century controversy arose from policy differences over how the Catholic church should respond to social and intellectual changes accompanying the onset of what we have been calling modernity. As pointed out in the Introduction, the Catholic University of America was a storm center of conflict; moreover, papal condemnations of Americanism in 1899 and of Modernism in 1907 played a crucial role in establishing the ideological framework within which Catholic higher education developed in the twentieth century. That framework involved a firm rejection of modernity, but the historical recovery of the Americanist episode indirectly nurtured a more positive attitude toward the modern world. The fact that Catholic historians of the generation immediately following the controversy studiously avoided investigating it shows how sensitive the issues remained for almost half a century. Theodore Maynard, who devoted a chapter to “The American Heresy” in his popular Story of American Catholicism (1941), observed that few Catholics had ever heard of such a thing and those who tried to learn more about it would soon find themselves at a dead end.

Abstract:
In this chapter, we will review some of the objects and concepts we’ve learned so far and make an interactive ear-training program. We will build our ear-training program using primarily objects you already know. In designing a program with a specific purpose, like an ear-training program, the worst technique you can take is to begin by arbitrarily inserting objects into a patch. Instead, it’s best to conceptualize the task at hand and “divide and conquer.” Divide the task into smaller steps and think through what actually needs to get done to accomplish the goal of the patch. Begin a new blank patch we will use to build an ear-training program in which diatonic and chromatic intervals are randomly performed by the patch. Users will have to correctly select the name of the interval they heard from a menu. The soft ware will give immediate feedback based on their response. To begin, create a new patch and 1. Create a button 2. Create 2 new object boxes both called random with the argument 12 3. Position the objects next to each other horizontally 4. Connect the button to the first inlet of each random 12 object 5. Create 2 number boxes beneath each random 12 object 6. Connect the outlet of each random 12 object to the number box beneath it 7. Lock the patch and click the button to generates 2 random numbers between 0 and 11 We will use these two random numbers to build our intervals. The random number on the left will be our starting pitch and we’ll add the second random number as the added interval. As you may have realized, giving the argument 12 to random restricts the number of pitches to 12 allowing us to keep our intervals within one octave. Let’s add the two numbers together.

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter, we discuss inherited/congenital optic nerve diseases and their related visual fields defects. It is important for the ophthalmologist to establish, on the basis of the visual fields defect whether the optic nerve is involved and, if so, whether this is at the level of the optic disc or further back. In addition, the visual fields defect can help establish whether the etiology is acquired or congenital. If the former is the case, then the visual fields defect may reveal an insult that is rapidly progressive and hence requires immediate and aggressive management. The diseases are divided into the categories of congenital optic disc anomalies and heredodegenerative optic atrophies. Congenital optic disc anomalies include aplasias, dysplasias (hyperplasia and hypoplasia), optic nerve colobomas and pits, anomalous disc elevations: pseudopapilledema with or without hyaline bodies (drusen), and tilted disc and crescents. Absence of the optic disc (aplasia) is extremely rare and only a few case reports have been published in the literature. Optic disc size varies and may be larger (hyperplasia) or smaller (hypoplasia) than normal. Hyperplasia is much less common than hypoplasia and is usually related to ametropias. Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) may be unilateral or bilateral and isolated or associated with different syndromes. It may be associated with good or poor visual prognosis. It is the most common congenital optic disc anomaly encountered in pediatric ophthalmic practice. When the nerve head is slightly or segmentally reduced, especially in the presence of normal visual acuity, the diagnosis is based on comparison of disc photographs or calculation of the ratio of the disc center-to-fovea distance to disc diameter. Usually this ratio is increased in hypoplasia and, if higher than 3.0, is almost diagnostic. Sometimes the hypoplastic disc is surrounded by a ring of sclera and a ring of hyperpigmentation, described as “double-ring sign”. Maternal diabetes and use of teratogenic agents such as phenytoin, alcohol, quinine, and cocaine may be associated with ONH.

Abstract:
In Part I, we discussed in detail the foundations of the bracket description of dynamical behavior, demonstrating how the generalized bracket is linked to the theories of both Hamiltonian mechanics and irreversible thermodynamics. Now it is time to discuss the various applications towards seemingly complex systems which are the main focus of this book. Specifically, we want to look at a variety of microstructured media of immediate concern in science and industry, and to illustrate the advantages of using the generalized bracket formalism over traditional techniques when developing system-particular models. As we shall also see, there are certain advantages to be gained even when we are simply expressing existing models in Hamiltonian form. The first subject that we wish to address is that of viscoelastic fluid dynamics. As the name implies, viscoelasticity characterizes the materials that possess properties intermediate to those of an elastic solid and a viscous fluid. The most characteristic property is that of limited (“fading”) memory: viscoelastic materials partially resume their previous deformation state upon removal of the externally applied forces; the smaller the duration of the application of the forces, the better the recovery. Materials of this type contain a certain degree of internal microstructure (e.g., polymeric solutions and melts, advanced composites, liquid crystals, etc.), and are very important in the processing industry where one wishes to combine the “processability” of the medium's fluidity with the “structural quality” of the internal architecture to obtain high strength/ low-weight final products. We can distinguish two types of viscoelasticity: viscoelastic solids and viscoelastic fluids characterized by the ability or lack of ability respectively, to support shear stresses at finite deformations. In the following we shall focus on the analysis of viscoelastic fluids although the approach followed applies and/or can be extended in a straightforward fashion to viscoelastic solids as well. For a description of solid viscoelasticity, the interested reader may consult one of the many excellent monographs in the area [Eringen, 1962, chs. 8, 10; Ferry, 1980; Sobotka, 1984; see also Tschoegl, 1989].

Abstract:
Because of water scarcity, reduction of annual rainfall and the use of wastewater in agriculture, there is a need for research to evaluate the potential impacts of using such sources on hydraulic soil properties and groundwater quality. Nitrate loss from the area under cultivation and regular use of fertilizer and wastewater is a major reason for non-point source contamination on agricultural lands. Numerical model, Hydrus-1D used to simulate soil nitrate in soil cultivated with tomato-crop during the growing period, in North-East Iran. A randomized completely blocked design with five irrigation treatments with different sources of nitrogen was applied. Comparison between simulated and measured soil moisture content shows that the model can follow the temporal variation of soil water content. However, some over estimation of the measured data was observed during the simulation period. To evaluate the Hydrus model performance with respect to nitrogen transport and transformations, the simulated nitrogen concentrations (NH4-N and NO3-N) are compared for different treatments at different depths of soil profile, (7.5, 22.5, 37.5, 52.5 and 120 cm from soil surface). It takes about 4 days to convert 90% of urea into ammonium and it takes about 70 days to convert 90% of ammonium into nitrate. However, urea concentrations decreased with time between irrigations as a result of hydrolysis. As expected, at 3.73 days, the urea was concentrated near the surface, immediately after fertigation. Ammonium remained concentrated in the immediate in the top soil at all times for all treatments. There was only slight movement, because of soil adsorption and subsequent fast nitrification and/or root uptake. In contrast to ammonium, nitrate moved continuously downwards during the 28-day simulation period, as nitrate is not adsorbed, whereas denitrification was assumed negligible. Leaching percentages were smaller for nitrate wastewater compared to nitrate- fertilizer, and manure. Base on simulation results treated municipal wastewater by an aerated lagoon can be used as a valuable source of irrigation without causing contamination of groundwater.

Abstract The continued application and extension of Moore’s is Law driving semiconductor development into the deep submicron range. 90nm processes are pushing the limits of current technology, and announcements for 65nm and even smaller process developments are common place. Inspection and deprocessing tools are pacing these developments with moderate levels of success [1]. Fault isolation, however, and particularly physical fault isolation at these levels represents perhaps the most daunting of challenges facing today’s semiconductor companies. Possibly the most important failure analysis ste

Two-dimensional rectangular bars have been used in an experimental study to control boundary layer transition and reattachment under low-pressure turbine conditions. Cases with Reynolds numbers (Re) ranging from 25,000 to 300,000 (based on suction surface length and exit velocity) have been considered at low (0.5%) and high (8.5% inlet) free-stream turbulence levels. Three different bars were considered, with heights ranging from 0.2% to 0.7% of suction surface length. Mean and fluctuating velocity and intermittency profiles are presented and compared to results of baseline cases from a previo

Abstract Energy storage is a necessary design consideration to address intermittent generation on islanded, renewable microgrids. Using renewable energy in excess of immediate demand, Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) can produce and cryogenically store liquefied air for recovery and power generation later. While LAES has been demonstrated for large-scale energy storage, current designs use heat exchangers, expansion turbines, and co-located industrial processes. This study explores the use of simpler, low-pressure equipment, which may be suitable for smaller-scale applications. A prototype usi

Abstract:
Abstract This research investigated the combination of a fuel cell and ultracapacitors to create a hybrid powertrain for a vertical take-off unmanned aerial system (UAS). This replaced the more common battery-only powertrain or the hybrid fuel cell-battery powertrain. A secondary power source, such as a battery or ultracapacitors, is required to assist a fuel cell with immediate load requests because fuel cells are unable to supply instantaneous power. The fuel cell-ultracapacitor was tested using a power profile that was experimentally determined using a battery-powered vertical take-off UAS

Abstract:
Dictated by the world’s escalating energy demands, offshore infrastructure is moving beyond the immediate continental shelf into deeper waters. Although the monopile solution has proven its reliability for many years, its feasibility in larger depths is questionable, or even limited, and multi-pod foundations, such as jacket structures, could be regarded as viable alternatives. Their main advantage, compared to the monopile alternative, is that they are able to sustain large lateral loads through axial stressing rather than bending at their supports (usually materialized using piles or suction

Villages and their functions in the landscape have changed significantly, and the 21st century has brought with it a number of problems in the functioning of village settlements and the rural landscape. The aim of the paper is to analyze the role of the current village in the landscape and biodiversity in the landscape and to outline the possibilities of its functioning in this system and its further development. The work is processed mainly by means of the method of terrain and local surveys. The analysis shows that throughout the 20th century the possibilities of animal and plant move in the

The flow field behind surface mounted detached square ribs over an approaching flat plate turbulent boundary layer has been studied. The Reynolds number based on the rib height has been set equal to 11075. The ratio of gap size from the flat plate surface to the square rib size has been varied between 0.2 and 1.0. The ratio of the approaching boundary layer thickness to the rib height is equal to 0.2. The PIV (2-component and stereo) technique in both stream wise and cross-stream measurement planes have been implemented. The PIV data has been acquired at two different resolutions. The high res

Abstract:
The oil and gas industry, by default, has been pretty conservative when it relates to innovation and drastic changes in mind-set. Mainly focused on the costly drilling and completion steps, some of the “smaller” services have been ignored. As such, Repsol has decided to take a deeper look at nano and micro sensored technologies in other industries and potentially replicate some of this innovation, allowing the industry to take “a step” closer to smarter zonal isolation. In general, the industry is quite aware of well integrity issues that we face. Be it immediate (whilst drilling/completing),
