India is one of the largest democratic country in the world. It has a systematic education system which has a huge demand. But after 67 years of independence of India we are away from the goal of universal literacy. Till now, SC ST Woman rural people etc. are considered as deprived social group of our society in every side. They are suffering from a lot of problems and cannot go ahead of course. Government of India be either announces many welfare schemes for weaker section of our society time to time. These schemes could be either central, state specific or a joint collaboration between centre and state.

This paper analyzed the use of rape as a weapon in Democratic Republic of Congo conflict zone. Rape usually used by the arm group to weaken their enemy. This strategy did not only targeted to women but also men. Rape gave different effect toward women and men. The purpose of this paper is to explain how rape become the weapon of conflict and their effect to the victims, even men and woman. Feminist perspective used in this paper. In the end, the author found that women have a way to overcome the effect and impact of rape better than men do. Social structure, which placed men in the upper side of women, made the effect and impact on the men who experienced rape victim hard to release their suffering. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to show how women and men could manage their self as a victim in the conflict zone.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: This article seeks to answer the question, “Where is God in the midst of suffering?”, through reflecting on the paradigm of discipleship in Mark 9:36-37. Welcoming a child is a parabolic action done by Christ to show that the way to be the greatest is to welcome the weakest or to be the servant of all. A child is used as a paradigm due to his or her low status in the Greco-Roman society. Children had no right, seen as properties rather than persons, and thus equated to slaves. Therefore, welcoming a child means welcoming the weakest of the society, and doing so means to welcome Christ himself and the one who sent him. The suffering caused by COVID-19 makes the whole world suffer, yet it also creates a bigger gap between the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak. A reflection on the paradigm invites Christians to side with the weakest and those who are in need, hoping that the kingdom of God will be ushered into this suffering world.
 
 Abstrak: Artikel ini adalah upaya untuk menjawab pertanyaan, “Di manakah Allah di tengah penderitaan?” melalui perenungan terhadap suatu model pemuridan yang berdasarkan paradigma pemuridan di dalam Markus 9:36-37. Menyambut seorang anak kecil merupakan suatu tindakan perumpamaan yang dilakukan Kristus guna menunjukkan bahwa cara untuk menjadi yang terbesar adalah untuk menyambut mereka yang lemah atau untuk menjadi hamba bagi sesama. Seorang anak digunakan sebagai paradigma sehubungan dengan status sosialnya yang rendah di tengah masyarakat Greko-Romawi. Anak dianggap tidak memiliki hak, dilihat sebagai properti ketimbang pribadi, dan dengan demikian dapat disetarakan dengan budak. Maka menyambut seorang anak berarti menyambut mereka yang paling lemah di tengah masyarakat, dan melakukannya berarti menyambut Kristus sendiri dan Dia yang telah mengutus Kristus. Dampak global dari COVID-19 membuat kesenjangan sosial di antara yang kaya dan yang miskin dan yang kuat dan yang lemah menjadi semakin besar. Suatu perenungan terhadap paradigma pemuridan tersebut mengajak umat Kristen untuk berpihak kepada yang lemah dan mereka yang membutuhkan, dengan harapan bahwa melalui tindakan tersebut, kerajaan Allah akan disambut ke dalam dunia yang sedang menderita.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, a stride detector algorithm combined with a technique inspired by zero velocity update (ZUPT) is proposed to reconstruct the trajectory of a pedestrian from an ankle-mounted inertial device. This innovative approach is based on sensor alignment and machine learning. It is able to detect 100% of both normal walking strides and more than 97% of atypical strides such as small steps, side steps, and backward walking that existing methods can hardly detect. This approach is also more robust in critical situations, when for example the wearer is sitting and moving the ankle or when the wearer is bicycling (less than two false detected strides per hour on average). As a consequence, the algorithm proposed for trajectory reconstruction achieves much better performances than existing methods for daily life contexts, in particular in narrow areas such as in a house. The computed stride trajectory contains essential information for recognizing the activity (atypical stride, walking, running, and stairs). For this task, we adopt a machine learning approach based on descriptors of these trajectories, which is shown to be robust to a large of variety of gaits. We tested our algorithm on recordings of healthy adults and children, achieving more than 99% success. The algorithm also achieved more than 97% success in challenging situations recorded by children suffering from movement disorders. Compared to most algorithms in the literature, this original method does not use a fixed-size sliding window but infers this last in an adaptive way.

Full textAbstract:
This study included the role of Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris in oral diseases such as periodontitis. Material and Method. Isolation and identification of Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris from a saliva sample of twenty patients wearing fixed dental prostheses suffering from periodontitis followed by estimating susceptibility generally to the most common antibiotics and specifically to chlorhexidine (CHX) to determine the MIC of CHX and also screening of the strength of biofilm production under aerobic and anaerobic conditions; here, the study included six groups: Group I: screening of biofilm formation under aerobic condition, Group II: screening the MIC of CHX effect on biofilm formation under aerobic condition, Group III: screening of the MIC of CHX effect on preformed biofilm under aerobic condition, Group IV: screening of biofilm formation under anaerobic condition, Group V: screening of MIC of CHX effect on biofilm formation under anaerobic condition, and Group VI: screening of MIC of CHX effect on preformed biofilm under anaerobic condition. Results. The results showed that about 5 (25%) isolates were identified as L. mesenteroides subsp. cremoris, while 75% are other isolates. Furthermore, susceptibility results to antibiotic showed the sensitivity to penicillin (100%), azithromycin (100%), ciprofloxacin (100%), tetracycline (100%), gentamicin (100%), doxycycline (100%), vancomycin (100%), ofloxacin (60%), chloramphenicol (80%), ampicillin (80%), and cefoxitin (60%). On the other side, the biofilm production assays revealed that all isolates were moderate biofilm former under the aerobic and anaerobic conditions but for the biofilm treated with MIC of CHX, the current study noticed that the strength of the biofilm became weaker in aerobic and anaerobic conditions; regardless, the strength of the biofilm under anaerobic conditions was higher than in that under aerobic conditions, with no significant differences at p ≤ 0.05 depending on the statistical analysis ( T -test) before and after the treatment with MIC of CHX in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Conclusions. The presence of mesenteroides subsp. cremoris in the oral cavity is due to eating foods and vegetables; based on the strength of the biofilm and sensitivity tests, the isolates have less pathogenicity in the oral cavity due to the weakness of the biofilm production and the lack of resistance to antibiotics.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, many big cities are suffering from heavy air pollution and continuous haze weather. Compared with the threat on physical health, the influence of haze on people’s mental health is much less discussed in the current literature. Emotion is one of the most important indicators of mental health. To understand the negative impact of haze weather on the emotion of the people, we conducted an investigation based on historical weather records and microblog data in Tianjin, China. Specifically, an emotional thesaurus was generated with a microblog corpus collected from sample data. Based on the thesaurus, the public emotion under haze was statistically described. Then, through correlation analysis and comparative study, the relation and seasonal variation of haze and negative emotion of the public were well discussed. According to the study results, there was indeed a correlation between haze and negative emotion of the public, but the strength of this relationship varied under different conditions. The level of air pollution and weather context were both important factors that influence the mental effects of haze, and diverse patterns of negative emotion expression were demonstrated in different seasons of a year. Finally, for the benefit of people’s mental health under haze, recommendations were given for haze control from the side of government.

Full textAbstract:
Drug interaction is the change of a drug's effects by the preceding and/or concurrent administration of a different substance (precipitant drug). Drug interactions may either intensify or weaken the effects that one or both medications are supposed to have. Any drug's therapeutic, preventative, or diagnostic capabilities may change as a result. A major contributing factor to the prevalence and occurrence of adverse medication responses and adverse drug events might be drug interactions. Patients receiving drug combinations or polypharmacy or suffering from co-morbid diseases like diabetes, hypertension, peptic ulcer, fungal infections, and neurodegenerative disorders have a much higher rate of occurrence and incidence of drug interactions. As these patients receive prolonged and multiple treatments, the risk of drug interactions rises. Conclusion: Drug interactions are more likely to occur in diabetes patients who are also getting a mix of medications for diabetic complications. As a result, the frequency of drug interactions is fast increasing. Because of its increasing incidence and the corresponding rise in morbidity and mortality, diabetes mellitus has been regarded as a major public health concern globally. The major goal of this review study is to highlight the different medication interactions that may occur between drugs and foods, as well as to record any unfavorable side effects of other treatments used in conjunction with antidiabetic drugs in diabetic patients.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to unveil the caustic reality of racial bigotry that is the root of suffering for the people of minority races. Racism is not inherently benign, but the presence of a sense of superiority, one of its defining characteristics, exacerbates the situation. The novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini delves at the discriminatory actions between Pashtuns and Hazaras, portraying racism as a construct that arises solely from human distinctions. This article argues that racial discrimination leads to depression, helplessness, and low self-esteem among people of the weakest races, while on the other hand, it encourages people of superior races to boast about their own rigidity and principles. Khaled Hosseini portrays a dystopian society, and the lives of its inhabitants revolve around one thing: fear of intimacy. The qualitative method is adopted to mirror the conflicts, both internal and external, that force the so-called superior and inferior races to maintain an invisible but impenetrable wall between them. This article delineates the harmful side of racial bigotry, which leads people to judge others and develop a tendency to justify destructive actions that make people's lives miserable. This article also tries to show how racial bigotry, the legacy of colonialism, has grasped the minds of the people and made them follow only the hollow principles of racism, which are seen through their behaviours and distorted thoughts.

Full textAbstract:
Kumaranashan is one of the most popular figures in Malayalam Literature. He was a champion of the underprivileged and a great visionary. He gave a new direction to the classically structured Malayalam poetry through his exposure to English Bangali and other streams of literature. He also played a pivotal role in introducing the spirit of modernity, revivalism and renaissance in Malayalam literature. Ashan"s works are widely translated into many languages and many of them are relevant and universally significant even today. The present paper is an attempt to read Ashan"s The Fallen flower; one of his most creative and thematically challenging works. While, the symbol of flowers is mostly used by poets of various generations to deliberate upon different shades of the concept of beauty, Ashan here uses the symbol of fallen flower to dwell upon the evanescent nature of human life and to create a strong moral vision in his readers. Though Ashan is widely studied and discussed in Malayalam, an analysis of the present kind attains great significance in English, especially in the present context of postcolonial exchanges and universal appreciation. The researcher uses available critical materials and translations to analyse, the philosophical, technical, social and political relevance of the work.

Title: The impact of the exclusion of the visual analyzer on the swimmer's ability to swim straight while doing the crawl Goals: The goal of this work is to determine the impact of the exclusion of the visual analyzer on one's ability to swim straight while doing the crawl; to find and analyze the angle of the deviation from the set central line, if any, using measurable variables; to find the critical spots in the fulfillment of a set movement assignment where the swimmer deviated from his straight swimming direction, to make a qualitative analysis of these spots in relation to the individually optimal technique, and to propose potential corrections of the time and space of movements of the upper limbs work and the body. Methods: A qualitative analysis with a manual measurement of the deviation from the straight direction of swimming per constant distance. Analysis of a video- recording to find the critical points in the crawl technique. Questionnaire to deal with participants' upper limbs laterality. Results: We managed to determine some causes of the deviation from the straight swimming direction without visual control. The achieved results proved that breathing was an important aspect when doing the crawl having influence on the ability to swim straight: The impact of laterality on the...

Full textAbstract:
Neoliberal Techniques of Social Suffering: Political Resistance and Critical Theory from Latin America and Spain is the result of the critical and political commitment of various Latin American and Spanish philosophers who share a critical approach to the global “stealth revolution” in recent decades, where neoliberalism has forced the well-being and reproduction of life to adapt to a system devastating for both humans and non-humans. The authors voice the shared concern of contemporary Spanish and Latin American societies to build new conceptions of the public and the common through mobilizing affects usually disavowed in political theory. If, in Ancient Greece, the idea of strengthening the most vulnerable and weakest was deplored as the art of sophists, this collection edited by Laura Quintana and Nuria Sánchez Madrid explores the other side of our social world to revive grassroots strategies of resistance and emancipation, which are able to bring about new distributions of power, welfare, and discursive legitimation and to extend our goal of creating a radically democratic world.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe development of assembly construction technology has become an inevitable way for the transformation and upgrading of China’s construction industry. However, in the development process, the grouting sleeve connection quality problem is the most prominent. In this paper, ABAQUS model is used to establish a concrete column model with grouting defects, and the influence of grouting defects on the seismic performance of concrete columns is explored: Under the condition of the same defect location and quantity, the larger the defect size, the lower the bearing capacity, the worse the ductility, the weaker the energy dissipation capacity; In the case that the number and size of defects are the same, the positive and negative directions of the hysteresis curve are symmetric when the defects are located in the direction of stress, and the energy dissipation capacity is higher than that when all the defects are located on one side of the column section.

AbstractCellular therapies manufactured from cells of haematopoietic origin, such as CAR-T–cell therapies, provide a revolutionary treatment for patients suffering from haematological diseases. Nonetheless, there are considerable challenges in the implementation of these therapies in this rapidly evolving field. These challenges include but are not limited to the complexity of the supply chains for these living drugs and the management of side effects, requiring centre qualification as well as additional and ongoing education of health care professionals; the long-term follow-up of patients treated with therapies with curative intent; the myriad regulatory requirements at the European Union and local level; and reimbursement of the treatments by budget-constrained authorities.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract For mild to moderate pain, the first step in a typical treatment plan involves the use of a nonnarcotic pain reliever, according to the World Health Organization’s analgesic ladder, a strategy universally endorsed by leading cancer pain specialists. The medications that constitute the first step of the ladder are the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), of which aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), acetaminophen (such as Tylenol and Anacin-3), and the newer COX-2 inhibitors (a special kind of NSAID) are the bestknown examples. Some of these products (especially acetaminophen) actually possess only weak anti-inflammatory effects but are still usually included in this category because they are nonnarcotic (nonopioid) analgesics. These analgesics do not cause many of the side effects commonly associated with the opioid analgesics (e.g., morphine), such as nausea and drowsiness, but, like all medications, they have potential side effects, and their use needs to be reviewed by a doctor or pharmacist to ensure that it is suitable.

Full textAbstract:
Seeing the problem as separate from the person is a stance that informs narrative psychiatry. This stance gives us firm footing in responding to our patients with respect and empathy and frees us to nimbly and creatively work with them to mitigate the unwanted effects of problems in their lives. We don’t blame patients for their problems. Rather, we align with them side-by-side to look out at the problem together and see what can be done about it. What this means is seeing problems as separate from our patients’ identities; that is, as outside of what they value and who they are striving to be. In doing so, we see both the problem and the person more clearly. Externalizing the problem in this way is a therapeutic practice that is one of our most powerful narrative interventions. It shifts the psychological landscape in which we are working. Patients often experience their problems as all encompassing. By externalizing the problem, it becomes circumscribed and we can more easily unpack it: characterize it, determine its boundaries, discover how it is impinging on a person’s life, expose the ways in which it operates, and discern what supports it and what weakens it. Separating the problem from the person makes it easier to see how patients are succeeding in living their lives in ways that they find satisfying and how they have freed themselves from the influence of the problem. We can more easily discover areas of the patient’s life in which the problem is not operating or is powerless, and we can more readily discover strengths and resources that a patient can draw on to overcome the problem. Not seeing problems as integral to who patients are provides immediate relief from negative identity conclusions, which are often piled on top of other unwanted effects of problems. These discoveries are energizing, inspire hope, and point the way toward effective treatment. The practice of externalization was developed by Michael White as a way to objectify problems instead of objectifying people.

Full textAbstract:
It is a common claim in debates about abortion and the killing of animals that individuals, such as foetuses and non-human animals, that have psychological capacities significantly lower than those of adult human persons also have a moral status lower than that of persons. And those who defend this claim typically assume that it implies that the moral constraint against killing a foetus or animal is, if other things are equal, weaker than the constraint against killing a person. Many of these same people also claim, however, that the difference in moral status makes no difference to the strength of the constraint against causing suffering. They argue that the reason not to cause suffering to an individual who neither deserves nor is liable to be caused to suffer is equally strong whatever the nature or moral status of the potential victim is. There is, however, a type of individual whose psychological capacities and moral status are such that it is plausible to believe that the reason not to cause them to suffer is weaker than the reason not to cause equivalent suffering to a person. Most non-human animals are psychologically intermediate between these low-status individuals and persons. This raises the question, which is explored in this chapter, whether most animals have an intermediate moral status that makes their suffering matter more than that of the low-status individuals but less than that of persons.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract As with everything else in my life, I was a late bloomer in actively pursuing mental healthcare for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and agoraphobia stemming from years of bullying. When I was growing up, these terms were not in any sort of common lexicon, and I was taught my mental/emotional suffering was something weak, to be ashamed of, and kept hidden like homosexuality itself. This image is a good starting point for understanding the dialogue at that time. The title “Were You Confused as a Child?” employs something of a gallows humor in regards to what a therapist—or a proponent of conversion therapy—might ask a person. The mixed-media imagery of the piece plays with that, as well as with the central detail of a little boy putting on lipstick while also pointing a gun to his head while, on either side of him, two bare-chested cowboy figures are looking down at their genitals as if pondering what that might all be about. It is a semi-comedic, lyrical piece meditating on years of pain brought on by societal straight-jacketing.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Twenty-three pipe samples of casing and coupling stock were evaluated to identify and study factors affecting the SSC rating when tested by the double-cantilever-beam (DCB) test. All samples had been tested under standard conditions defined by NACE TM0177-96(D). Tested specimens, along with some full-thickness samples of pipe wall, were specially prepared to determine the patterns of chemical segregation inherited from the solidification process, and affected by the tubemaking method, that existed in the pipe walls. Remarkable variations in segregation pattern are observed within individual pipes, and among the many pipes evaluated. Dendrite patterns persist in the heavy walls of coupling stock. The SSC cracks tend to follow segregation lines and thus be guided away from midplane. Edge cracks then initiate at the root of the side groove and serve to maintain the general crack surface at or near midplane. Because they impede and delay crack growth to a time of weaker acidity, large and/or numerous edge cracks give false high values of sulfide fracture toughness, KIssc. A correlation is presented between the incidence of serious edge cracking and both hardness and the amount of hot reduction during tubemaking. Shallower side cracks do not eliminate edge cracks; some changes in profile of side grooves, and in aqueous solution chemistry are suggested. Reducing chemical segregation by a homogenization treatment does give flatter crack surfaces and lowers the incidence of edge cracking. The significance of the chemical segregation patterns with regard to SSC testing, and to field service, is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Many of the monuments related to Mayan civilization are suffering deterioration by environmental factors (high temperatures and relative humidities), increasing contamination by natural and anthropogenic sources, and by the action of micro and macroorganisms. Archeological sites and historical monuments in the Mayan area were constructed with different limestones which offer different degradation resistance to the various types of contamination. Two different archeological sites in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, were chosen for this study: the urban nucleus of Uxmal, located in a rural environment, and the fortress of Tulum, at the side of the Caribbean sea, exposed to chloride of marine spray and sand erosion. In both sites, heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi were isolated from the biofilms or crust samples taken in different sampling areas. Anaerobic bacteria were also found in one of the Tulum sampling sites. Crust deposits were observed by using stereoscopic magnifier, SEM and ESEM. Surface analyses were made by means of EDAX and electron microprobe. Two different types of the structural limestone were exposed to natural and accelerated weathering.

Full textAbstract:
The ability of DIAL systems to probe deeply into the atmosphere is enhanced if the pulsed laser is capable of sequentially operating at different wavelengths, each wavelength corresponding to a different absorption cross-section of the gas of interest. Such wavelength versatility is particularly important for airborne or spacebome DIAL measurements of H2O(v) due to its strong vertical gradient (several orders of magnitude). Strong H2O(v) cross-sections are necessary to retrieve H2O(v) data from high altitudes while the use of weaker cross sections enables penetration of the DIAL laser pulses to lower altitudes.

Full textAbstract:
The Fontan procedure [1] is the staged, palliative surgical approach used to treat patients suffering from single ventricle congenital heart defects. The second stage of this procedure involves the connection of the superior vena cava (SVC) to the pulmonary arteries (PAs) in either an end-to-side (known as the Bi-Directional Glenn (BDG)) or side-to-side (or Hemi-Fontan (HF)) fashion. Because of obvious disparities at the connection site, there are understandable differences in the fluid dynamics between the two geometries.

Several constructional projects in Sulaimani face to the delay, during the stages of designing and implementation. The delay refers to various causes. There are several key persons) resources) (templates) (clients) (factors) (characteristics) (parameters) that have direct effects on delay of the projects. The study was conducted and depended on two different methods practical and theoretical parts, for performing practical part two specific elites were chose, the first elite was the expert engineers that had actual practical involvement in construction projects and the second elite was the contractors that had a real suffering from delays of their projects. While the theoretical part was depended on reviews for the existing studies to collect information. The practical result showed that the five most effective key persons were the (1-Laws and Regulations, 2-Contractor, 3-Designer, 4-Resident Engineer, 5-Site Location) seriously. While the reviewed results for the existing studies showed (1-Designer, 2-Finance/payment, 3-Weather, 4-Unforseen circumstances, 5-Lack of Site management by Contractor). Keywords: Constructional projects delay, Time extension, Mistakes of design, Plan and scheduling, Variation order.

In ASME Turbo Expo 2012: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/gt2012-68927.
Full textAbstract:
In this paper, the unsteady wake effect from an unshrouded centrifugal impeller with splitter blades was numerically and experimentally investigated. The numerical simulated detail flow characteristics of two stations, respectively placed at the impeller outlet and the diffuser inlet, were compared with the measured data. The “jet-wake” flow pattern was observed at the exit of the impeller. And the investigation showed that the wake effect of the splitter was weaker that of the main blade. But both the main blade and the splitter blade wake could affect the diffuser performance at a range of whole-chord length and they provoked the pressure side profile pressure fluctuating intensely from 10% chord to 50% chord, while the suction side pressure varying rapidly at the range from 60% chord to 80% chord.

Full textAbstract:
Work on rare earth-doped fiber lasers and amplifiers has focused on silica and fluorozirconate glasses primarily because fiber synthesis techniques are better developed for these compositions. Because pure silica is a poor host for rare earth ions the use of codopants is critical to controlling device properties. The addition of A12O3 significantly increases the solubility of rare earths, preventing clustering and its associated inefficiency. Al2O3-codoping also substantially increases the gain bandwith of silica Er3+-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) by providing a broad emission spectrum more typical of a fluoride of fluorophosphate glass. For Er3+-doped silica, cross sections at 1500 nm are sensitive to codopants primarily through changes in the shape of the absorption and emission bands. While codopants can enhance the efficiency of EDFAs pumped at 800 nm, significant improvement can only be obtained by going to other glasses such as fluorophosphates. Composition has less influence on performance when exciting at 980 or 1480 nm, the latter pump band suffering from an inherent noise penalty of 1-2 dB. The strong 1060-nm transition of Nd3+ has a lower small-signal gain efficiency than ER3+, regardless of host. The weaker 1300-nm transition suffers additionally from excited state absorption, a process that is sensitive to composition.

Full textAbstract:
We observe saturation of cathodoluminescence (CL) from GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum well wires (QWWs) at high excitation intensity. The GaAs/AIGaAs QWWs were fabricated by electron-beam lithography, selective gallium ion implantation, and annealing.1 Single QWWs were excited with a cw or pulsed 5-keV electron beam, and the resulting CL is detected by cw or subnanosecond time-delayed-coincidence photon counting. At 20 K and low excitation intensity the CL spectrum shows a peak at 1.65 eV due to the QWW and a weaker peak at 1.7 eV due to carriers excited in the surrounding implanted material. As the excitation intensity is increased, the lower energy peak broadens on the high-energy side and eventually saturates in intensity at a density of 8 × 1017/cm3, whereas the CL from the implanted or large masked regions saturates at the higher density of 4 × 1018/cm3. We attribute the saturation to bandfilling. Time-resolved CL measurements are discussed. We report the first observation of CL from QWWs at room temperature. The CL intensity of the QWWs is comparable with that of the implanted regions. Both are an order of magnitude weaker than that of the unimplanted quantum well.

Full textAbstract:
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer for women. Nowadays, the side-effects that some treatments against this type of cancer can be a major problem. One example of this is HER2-positive breast cancer patients. Patients are prescribed trastuzumab, a drug with anti-tumour efficacy, but this treatment can cause various undesirable effects such as heart problems, known as cardiotoxicity. With the aim of improving the quality of life of those affected, the question is clear: what is the likelihood of suffering cardiotoxicity? In this work, this probability is estimated using a new approach to the classic cure models: the presmoothed cure models.

Full textAbstract:
The use of dimple-protrusions for internal cooling of rotating turbine blades has been investigated. A channel with dimple imprint diameter to channel height ratio (H/D = 1.0), dimple depth to channel height ratio (δ/H = 0.2), spanwise and streamwise pitch to channel height ratios (P/H = S/H = 1.62) was modeled. Four rotation numbers; Rob = 0.0, 0.15, 0.39, and 0.64, at nominal flow Reynolds number, ReH = 10000, were investigated to quantify the effect of Coriolis forces on the flow structure and heat transfer in the channel. Under the influence of rotation, the leading (protrusion) side of the channel showed weaker flow impingement, larger wakes and delayed flow reattachment with increasing rotation number. The trailing (dimple) side experienced a smaller recirculation region inside the dimple and stronger flow ejection from the dimple cavity with increasing rotation. Secondary flow structures in the cross-section played a major role in transporting momentum away from the trailing side at high rotation numbers and limiting heat transfer augmentation. While heat transfer augmentation on the trailing side increases by over 90% at Rob = 0.64, overall Nusselt number and friction coefficient augmentation ratios decrease from 2.5 to 2.05, and 5.74 to 4.78, respectively, as rotation increased from Rob = 0 to Rob = 0.64.

Full textAbstract:
On the occasion of the centenary of the First World War, remembered across the world from 2014 until the end of 2018, many aspects and experiences of this global conflict have been re-examined or brought to light for the first time, as we honour the memory of those estimated 16 million soldiers and civilians who perished in what was then known as the ‘Great War’, or the ‘War to End All Wars’. So many of these died on the infamous fields of Flanders, where Allied and Central Forces dug themselves into trenches for the better part of four years. Over the past few years, new research has brought to light many insights into the plight of animals in this War, which – for the younger readers amongst you – was fought at the dawn of motorised warfare, using anything powered by two or four feet or paws, from the homing pigeons delivering secret messages across enemy lines, to the traction provided by oxen and mules to pull cannons and other heavy artillery, to the horses of the cavalry. Not least among these roles was the supply of animal protein to the troops, whether this came through the specific designation of animals for this purpose or as the result of a failed attempt at delivering any of the above services. Several leading publications today have documented the role (and suffering) of animals in ‘La Grande Guerre’. Less so the role of veterinarians in the ‘War to End All Wars’. Who were they? How many? How were they organised? What did they do, on either side of the enemy lines? The present article is a humble attempt to shed some light on these veterinary colleagues, based on available, mostly grey, literature…
