Salah satu metode karakterisasi instrumen adalah uji in-situ, yang menempatkan instrumen dalam kondisi kerjanya untuk mengetahui pengaruh lingkungan terhadap kinerja kamera dan hasil pencitraannya. Uji in-situ kamera CCD ST-237A yang dilaksanakan pada tanggal 1, 2, dan 3 November 2004, berlokasi di Laboratorium Fisika Lanjut, UPI. Pada penelitian ini, kamera CCD ST-237A yang dilengkapi filter BVR Johnson terpasang pada Teleskop Celestron SC CGE-1100. Hasil analisa uji in-situ terhadap kamera CCD ST-237A memberikan informasi kualitas kinerja yang sedikit berbeda dengan katalog. Hal ini dapat disebabkan karena chip kamera CCD bekerja pada lingkungan yang berbeda. Di samping itu, dibahas pula kinerja astronomi sistem fotometri CCD ST-237A untuk menentukan koefisien ekstingsi dan koefisien transformasi melalui regresi linier hasil reduksi fotometri, terhadap sepuluh bintang standar yang terang. Observasi ini dilakukan pada tanggal 8 dan 9 Oktober 2005 di Observatorium Bosscha Lembang, yang dilengkapi dengan Teleskop Celestron GAO-ITB RTS dan filter BVR Johnson. Hasil analisis data reduksi fotometri melalui metode regresi linear memberikan nilai koefisien ekstingsi (kV) sebesar 0,027 0,069, koefisien transformasi sebesar 0,027 0,069, dan titik nol persamaan regresi sebesar -4,249 0,132.Kata Kunci:Fotometri CCD (Charge-Coupled Device), Fotometri Absolut, Instrumentasi Astronomi

Full textAbstract:
St. Paul writes, “whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10: 31 NABRE).” This essay employs the work of St. Thomas Aquinas and the recent philosophical work of Daniel Johnson (2020) on this command to investigate a series of questions that the command raises. What is glory? How does one properly act for glory and for the glory of another? How is it possible to do everything for the glory of God? I begin with Aquinas’ account of glory and the pursuit of glory for God’s glory and Aquinas’s answers to some of the above questions that can be drawn from his discussion in De Malo. I defend Aquinas against criticisms from Daniel Johnson and present his own interpretation of the command. I advance the discussion through adding two additional interpretations that do not rely on a controversial assumption Johnson makes. Next, I address the puzzle of how we can intend everything for the glory of God using Aquinas’s three-fold account of intention. Finally, I discuss the relation between charity and the desire for God’s glory and how regular, actual intentions of one’s actions for the glory of God increases charity.

We observed initial peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] seedling growth after endodormant (ED) seeds (`Johnson Elberta') had been stratified for five durations (20 to 60 days) at eight constant temperatures (0 to 18C). Seedling growth increased and became more normal when seeds were stratified for longer durations at chilling temperatures. Stratification (St) at 0 to 6C (especially 2C) produced seedlings with more abnormal growth than St at higher temperatures (8 to 10C) at intermediate St durations (30 to 50 days). Growth of the primary stem increased with additional St (0 to 14C). Abnormal (epinastic) leaf development decreased following longer St treatments at 4 to 14C. Lateral shoot growth increased initially, then decreased after longer treatments at low temperatures (0, 4, and 6C) and decreased after St at higher temperatures (8 to 10C).

In 1981 and in 1984, I offered at the University of Houston, CLC, a course on Space Telescope, the first of its kind. The 22 graduate students were assigned research projects of their own choosing designed for ST. Several chose the detection of planets of other stars, showing the popularity of the search for extraterrestrial life. Space Telescope's six instruments can be used for this purpose in several ways, and the students, most of them scientists and engineers at the NASA Johnson Space Center, proposed to use most of these after ST is launched in 1986 or 1987. The student proposals require a significant fraction of ST observing time over a period of five to ten years, indicating the over-subscription that faces the ST Science Institute. In this paper, I summarize the capability of ST instruments, and recount the techniques likely to be most effective in using them to detect planets of other stars.

We compared peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Johnson Elberta] seed germination (G) and seedling emergence (E) after various stratification (St) treatments. Treatments were arranged in factorial combinations of five St durations (20 to 60 days) at eight constant temperatures (0 to 18C) in a completely randomized design followed by repeated measures during forcing time. G and E were recorded every 5 days during forcing. Seed St at 0 to 10C and 0 to 14C promoted G and E, respectively. G and E increased with longer St treatments at promoting temperatures. There was a weak correlation between G and E averaged over the forcing measurements (r2 = 0.54). The best correlation was between E after 15 days and G after 10 days (r2 = 0.83). The results indicate that G and E in peach are not identical indicators of endodormancy (ED) release and should not be used interchangeably. Forcing times must be considered when making comparisons between G and E.

Full textAbstract:
In contemporaneous and retrospective publications, British physician Donald McI. Johnson wrote about medical cases in 1928–29 for the organization founded by Wilfred Grenfell in Newfoundland and Labrador. The availability of one physician’s cases in published and institutional forms allows consideration of discursive representations of patients for general and clinical readers in the two decades of Johnson’s writing. This study places these cases within the context of Johnson’s medical background and his escape to rural practice in a remote locale, one that emphasized emergency operations in Labrador and hospital care in the organization’s main hospital in St. Anthony. In this way, it broadens knowledge of medical care provided by visiting physicians and considers ways in which such physicians represented local patients in publications for the general reader. Although it determines that Johnson was unique, it indicates the value of the fuller study of publications by other physicians associated with the Grenfell organization.

Full textAbstract:
This essay considers various ways in which St George, an important figure in mummers’ plays before the Protestant Reformation, remained a presence in drama and popular entertainment long after one would have expected him to have disappeared. It notes his importance in the agricultural calendar, his strong association with fireworks, his popular designation as a specifically English saint, and some of the customs traditionally observed on his feast day of 23 April. It then moves on to consider some of the plays in which he is mentioned or alluded to, including works by Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Francis Beaumont, and John Fletcher, as well as a romance by Richard Johnson that was later dramatized, and culminates with references in three plays produced by members of the Cavendish family of Bolsover and Welbeck. It argues that referring to St George offered a way of talking about Englishness even when (perhaps especially when) that concept was contested, and also suggests that the legendary folk hero Guy of Warwick, presented in some texts as the son of St George, could sometimes act as a dramatic proxy for the saint.

Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare but serious mucocutaneous reaction to medications. We present a rare case of SJS developing after antibiotic administration for a lower respiratory tract infection and whose inpatient course was complicated with an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). The laboratory findings revealed thrombocytosis which was possibly reactive and explained the underlying pathophysiology of the thrombus formation seen in the coronary artery. Stenting and aspiration of thrombus was performed. This case illustrates a possibly rare association between SJS and MI.

Full textAbstract:
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA) increases restrictions on private litigation for securities fraud. We examine stock price reactions on legislative-event-related days of firms in four high-litigation-risk industries. Two other studies on this issue, Spiess and Tkac (1997) (ST) and Johnson et al. (2000) (JKN), conclude that shareholders considered PSLRA beneficial. While we find largely similar daily abnormal returns for event-related days that they examine, we present evidence that the timing of multiple confounding events makes the interpretation of these daily returns ambiguous. Results from additional analyses beyond those conducted by ST and JKN (market price reversal tests, analysis of additional legislative-event-related days, cumulative abnormal returns over the legislative period, and analysis of other events affecting investors' ability to bring securities-related lawsuits), are largely inconsistent with their interpretation, suggesting instead that shareholders in the four high-litigation-risk industries react negatively on average to PSLRA's restrictions on their ability to bring securities-related lawsuits.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract At the time of completion in 1961, the roof of St. Charles Church became the largest unbalanced hyperbolic paraboloid structure in the United States and the only shell structure in Spokane, WA. Situated on an 8-acre site on the north side of the city, St. Charles is a modernist structure designed through partnership of Funk, Molander & Johnson engineers, architect William C. James and in consultation with Professor T.Y. Lin of the Structural Engineering Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. This asymmetric structure spans over 33.5 m (110 ft) and utilizes folded edge beams that taper from 1067 mm (42 in) at the base to a 76.2 mm (3 in) thickness at the topmost edge using regular strength reinforcing steel and concrete load carrying components. The novelty of the pre-stressed shell structure serves both architectural and structural design criteria by delivering a large, uninterrupted interior sanctuary space in materially and economically efficient manner. This structural assessment summarizes the roof’s historic design and construction according to the original construction documents, newspaper reports and historic photographs. The FEA is completed using UBC 1955 design loads and ACI 334 Concrete Shell Structures provisions.

Abstract. The astronomer Manuel Johnson, a future President of the Royal Astronomical Society, recorded the ocean tides with his own instrument at St. Helena in 1826–1827, while waiting for an observatory to be built. It is an important record in the history of tidal science, as the only previous measurements at St. Helena had been those made by Nevil Maskelyne in 1761, and there were to be no other systematic measurements until the late 20th century. Johnson's tide gauge, of a curious but unique design, recorded efficiently the height of every tidal high and low water for at least 13 months, in spite of requiring frequent re-setting. These heights compare very reasonably with a modern tidal synthesis based on present-day tide gauge measurements from the same site. Johnson's method of timing is unknown, but his calculations of lunar phases suggest that his tidal measurements were recorded in Local Apparent Time. Unfortunately, the recorded times are found to be seriously and variably lagged by many minutes. Johnson's data have never been fully published, but his manuscripts have been safely archived and are available for inspection at Cambridge University. His data have been converted to computer files as part of this study for the benefit of future researchers.

Full textAbstract:
New invertebrate trace fossils from the Lower Jurassic Moenave Formation at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS) continue to expand the ichnofauna at the site. A previously unstudied arthropod locomotory trace, SGDS 1290, comprises two widely spaced, thick, gently undulating paramedial impressions flanked externally by small, tapered to elongate tracks with a staggered to alternating arrangement. The specimen is not a variant of any existing ichnospecies, but bears a striking resemblance to modern, experimentally generated crayfish walking traces, suggesting a crayfish or crayfish-like maker for the fossil. Because of its uniqueness, we place it in a new ichnospecies, Siskemia eurypyge. It is the first fossil crayfish or crayfish-like locomotion trace ever recorded.

Among the companions of John Henry Newman at Littlemore at the time of his reception into communion with Rome in October 1845, perhaps the least remembered is John Walker. Indeed, Ambrose St. John, Richard Stanton, and Bernard Dalgairns followed Newman to the Oratory, yet Walker could never bring himself to do likewise. Often confused with Canon John Walker of Scarborough (one of Newman’s subsequent theological correspondents), ‘Dismal Johnny’, as he was dubbed by Manuel Johnson, the Radcliffe Observer, enjoyed a less than happy relationship with Newman. To recall the life of Walker is to shed some further light upon Newman’s own character, and to witness a reconciliation of estranged companions in old age.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate mean cephalometric measurements for a group of individuals of Afro-Brazilian descent using the Wylie-Johnson analysis, and to investigate the presence of sexual dimorphism. METHODS: Thirty-six lateral radiographs of the head of African-Brazilians were used. Subjects were 10 to 14 years old and had clinically normal occlusion, all permanent teeth, and no history of orthodontic treatment. RESULTS: Results for girls and boys were, respectively: SNA 88.31º and 89.68º; SNB 83.96º and 85.01º; ANB 4.44º and 4.69º; 1:1= 118.18º and 116.51º; FG-ST 16.47 mm and 16.12 mm; ST-Pmf 19.69 mm and 19.88 mm; Pmf-ANS 53.69 mm and 54.84 mm; Pmf-1ºMS 21.83 mm and 20.64 mm; FG-Pg 108.19 mm and 108.45 mm; FPL -MPL 27.48º and 27.65º; TAFH 111.06 mm and 112.26 mm; UAFH 45.26 mm and 45.38 mm; LAFH 65.80 mm and 66.88 mm; FG-FPL 1.069 mm and -2.086 mm; MBL 70.24 mm and 69.67 mm; MRH 51.89 mm and 53.70 mm; gonial angle 129.27º and 129.28º. Results of Student's-t test (α=5%) did not show any sexual dimorphism. Results of descriptive statistics were similar for the individuals of Afro-Brazilian descent in the study. CONCLUSION: Individuals of African descent had bimaxillary protrusion, a more acute interincisal angle, a larger inferior facial height, and a markedly convex profile.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most contested arguments in contemporary just war thinking has been the question of the right starting point of analysis. On one side of the argument, one finds Catholic Church officials who argue for a ‘presumption against war’ as jumping-off point. On the other, one encounters critics of that position, led by James Turner Johnson, who defend a ‘presumption against injustice’ as the correct point of entry. Interestingly, both sides refer to St Thomas Aquinas, the key figure in the systematisation of the classical just war, as giving support to their respective position. While Johnson was vindicated as far as Aquinas’s historical starting point is concerned, debate about the contemporary purchase of the presumption against war has continued until the present day. Historical just war thinkers like Johnson have criticised the Church not only for turning the logic of the just war tradition on its head by reversing the inherited hierarchy between the so-called deontological and prudential criteria, but have also questioned the empirical evidence that has put the Church on this trajectory. In this article, I explain how the debate about the presumption against war continues to be relevant by engaging with the general direction the Catholic Church has taken up until Pope Francis and by investigating the particular example of its position on drone warfare. I point out that while the presumption against war runs counter to what Aquinas wrote during his days, Thomistic virtue ethics is generally open to development. The Church may thus claim a Thomistic patrimony in advocating for a presumption against war, but, as I demonstrate, the just war thinking that results, often referred to as modern-war pacifism, struggles to address important moral issues raised by contemporary warfare.

Full textAbstract:
From the early-1980s, the arrival of hip hop in the UK city of Bristol created a wave of new possibilities for multiracial Bristolians. In the medium-term, this would help yield the music popularly termed ‘the Bristol Sound’, exemplified by post-hip hop performers like Tricky and Massive Attack – all of whom were part of the city’s early hip hop scene. More immediately, however, Bristol would become home to a vital hip hop party culture, centred on makeshift – and frequently illegal – parties thrown in warehouses, shebeens and small independent clubs in and around the city’s storied Black district, St. Paul’s. In this wide-ranging oral history conversation, which broadens the debate on Bristol hip hop and its diasporic sound-making, pioneering Bristol MC, Kriss ‘Krissy Kriss’ Johnson, discusses his memories and experiences of hip hop in the city. He provides fresh insights on diasporic Black identities in semi-rural contexts; the historic textures of teenage Black popular culture in Bristol in the 1970s–80s; the political realities of early-Thatcherism; the resurgence of British street racism in the 1970s; the psychogeography of Bristol neighbourhoods and historic change in St. Paul’s; the historically grounded appeals of hip hop culture as a site of affirmative teenage Black identity and possibility; the lived experience of Bristol’s DIY hip hop party culture. In doing this, Johnson offers a historically important Black perspective on a scene that has often been glossed by journalists and academics alike in terms of its utopian polyculturalism. By prioritizing his response as a young Black person in the historical particularities of his lived context, the conversation moves beyond the priorities of such accounts to provide a nuanced appreciation of Bristol’s hip hop movement in the city’s complex race and class geography. The account, moreover, recentres hip hop in the history of this party scene, which journalists have typically viewed from the prism of an overdetermined hybridity seen as peculiar to the city.

Full textAbstract:
Point of view in narrative has been identified in literary stylistics through the use of deixis, modality, transitivity and Free Indirect Discourse. These findings have also been applied to literature in translation (Bosseaux 2007). This article focuses on deictic cues in the narrative structure of Canne al Vento by Grazia Deledda in the original Italian and the English translation, following an earlier study focussing on constructing a particular point of view through mental processes of perception, the translation of which did not always reflect that point of view (Johnson 2010). Data emerging from a corpus-assisted study is examined qualitatively using a systemic-functional model in order to assess to what extent the point of view constructed by these cues in the ST is conveyed in the novel in translation.

Full textAbstract:
Utilizing a proper material model for describing the mechanical behavior of any material is key for a successful simulation of friction stir processing (FSP) where temperature, strain, and strain rate gradients vary abruptly within, and when moving away, from the stirring zone. This work presents a comparison of how faithfully do three different constitutive equations reproduce the state variables of strain, strain rate, and temperature in an FEM simulation of a test-case FSP (1000 rpm spindle speed, and 90 mm/min feed). The three material models considered in this comparison are namely: Johnson-Cook (JC), Sellars-Tegart (ST), and Zerilli-Armstrong (ZA). Constants for these constitutive equations are obtained by fitting these equations to experimental mechanical behavior data collected under a range of strain rates and temperatures of twin-rolled cast wrought AZ31B sheets.It is widely recognized that JC-based models over predicts stress values in the stir zone whereas ST-based models are incapable of capturing work hardening outside of the stir zone. Therefore, a ZA model, being a physical based-HCP specific model, is hereby investigated for its suitability as a material model that would overcome such drawbacks of JC-and ST-based models. The equations from the constitutive models under consideration are fed into an FEM model built using DEFORM 3D to simulate the traverse phases of a friction stir process. Amongst these three material models, comparison results suggest that the HCP-specific ZA model yield better predictions of the state variables: strain, strain rate, and temperature, and, consequently, the estimated values for flow stresses.

Constants for these constitutive equations are obtained by fitting these equations to experimental mechanical behavior data collected under a range of strain rates and temperatures of twin-rolled cast wrought AZ31B sheets.It is widely recognized that JC-based models over predicts stress values in the stir zone whereas ST-based models are incapable of capturing work hardening outside of the stir zone. Therefore, a ZA model, being a physical based-HCP specific model, is hereby investigated for its suitability as a material model that would overcome such drawbacks of JC-and ST-based models. The equations from the constitutive models under consideration are fed into an FEM model built using DEFORM 3D to simulate the traverse phases of a friction stir process. Amongst these three material models, comparison results suggest that the HCP-specific ZA model yield better predictions of the state variables: strain, strain rate, and temperature, and, consequently, the estimated values for flow stresses.

(1) Background: In endodontics, anatomical complexities and irregularities in the root canal system may interfere with sealer penetration, increasing the risk of treatment failure. This work aimed to investigate the effects of sonicated Thermafil (Dentsply, Tulsa Dental Specialties, Johnson City, TN, USA) on sealer penetration into the dentinal tubules. (2) Methods: Thirty teeth with single round-shaped root canals were used to compare Sonicated Thermafil with sonication (ST—10 teeth), System B (EIE Analytical Technology, Orange, CE, USA) (SB—10 teeth), and Thermafil without sonication (T—10 teeth). A confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) was used to determine the depth, area, and percentage of sealer penetration into the dentinal tubules. (3) Results: ST showed the deepest average penetration at 6 mm from the apex compared to SB (p < 0.01) and T (p < 0.01) and at 3 mm compared to SB (p < 0.01). In addition, it had the highest penetration values at both levels compared to SB (p < 0.01) and T (p < 0.05) and a higher penetration area at 6 mm compared to T (p < 0.05) and SB (p < 0.05). (4) Conclusion: Sonic activation can improve the carrier-based obturation technique thanks to deeper sealer penetration and thus better retention of materials.

Background: Decision to initiate a new systemic therapy (ST) among patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is complex. This cross-sectional study explored overall disease burden, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and disease activity among patients with moderate-to-severe AD.
Methods: Adult patients with AD who had a vIGA-ADTM score ≥3 and Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI) score ≥12 at enrollment were identified from the prospective, longitudinal CorEvitas AD Registry between 07/21/2020 and 12/31/2022. Included patients were newly prescribed an eligible ST (ST group) or not prescribed an eligible ST (non-ST group) at enrollment. Patients on ST before enrollment were excluded. Sociodemographic characteristics, disease features, severity measures (vIGA-ADTM [0–4]; body surface area (BSA) [0–100%]; EASI [0–72]), and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed. PROs included Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) [0-30], Itch/Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale [0-10], Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) [0-26], and AD Control Tool (ADCT) [<7 controlled, >7 not controlled]. Differences in means or proportions of characteristics among ST and non-ST groups were summarized using effect sizes (ES).
Results: The study included 673 (mean age=50.7 years, 55.6% female) patients who were newly prescribed ST and 229 (47.8 years, 51.3%) who were not prescribed ST. The overall distribution of race (Whites 70.4% vs. 60.5%, Asians 8.6% vs. 17.5%, Black 13.7% vs. 8.3%, Other 7.3% vs. 13.6%; ES=0.17) and geographic region (West 8.5% vs. 28.4%, South 32.1% vs. 15.7%; ES=0.27) had small differences between the ST and non-ST groups. More patients (n=402 [59.7%]) in the ST group had severe AD (vIGA-ADTM=4), whereas moderate AD (vIGA-ADTM=3) was more common (n=137 [59.8%]) in the non-ST group. Higher disease severity was reported in the ST group versus non-ST group: BSA (mean [SD]: 41.6% [17.1] vs. 31.5% [16.0]; ES=0.61) and EASI (24.3 [10.1] vs. 19.8 [8.6]; ES=0.47). Mean [SD] PRO measures were also higher in the ST group compared to non-ST group: DLQI (11.7 [7.5] vs. 10.4 [7.9]; ES=0.17), mean peak pruritus in the past 24 hours (6.8 [2.9] vs. 6.1 [3.1]; ES=0.25), POEM (17.8 [7.1] vs. 16.6 [7.5]; ES=0.17), and ADCT (14.4 [6.1] vs. 13.0 [6.7]; ES=0.21).
Conclusion: Patients not initiating ST have high rates of severe, uncontrolled AD, and considerable burden from their disease, indicating potential delayed or undertreatment. Understanding the factors that influence the decision to escalate therapy in systemic-eligible patients is important for improving care of AD.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryIn May 1973, an article entitled “International Law and Society in the Year 2000” written by Ronald St. John Macdonald, Gerald Morris, and Douglas Johnson, appeared in the Canadian Bar Review. The article attempted to provide a vision of what international law would look like three decades in the future. If Macdonald and his co-authors were mistaken about some of the details they forecasted, they were deWnitely right about the multiplication of actors, the growing diversity of sources, and the expanded coverage of international law. More particularly, they were correct in their assessment that environmental concerns — as opposed to the more evident military, humanitarian, or criminal ones — would be the principal catalyst for change in times to come. A look back at “International Law and Society in the Year 2000” therefore offers a valuable retrospective on Macdonald’s contribution to international law and helps to frame the central question that we must take up in our own time: how will international law evolve from here?

Abstract Products and technologies that aid health care professionals in vascular access practice save staff time, and while promoting patient safety and prevention of infection can provide excellent opportunities for evaluations to support evidence-based practice. This was an industry sponsored, prospective, single site, controlled, randomized clinical evaluation pilot study of two catheter dressings, 3M™ Tegaderm™ Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) IV Securement Dressing (CHG gel dressing) (3M Health Care, St. Paul, MN) and BIOPATCH® Antimicrobial Dressing with Chlorhexidine Gluconate (BIOPATCH® Protective Disk with CHG, Johnson & Johnson, Somerville, NJ). Twelve intravascular (IV) therapy health care professionals (Clinicians) were asked for their professional evaluations of the catheter dressings: the ease of application and performance factors featured in specific questions. Catheters were secured on 12 healthy volunteers to simulate inserted jugular catheters (IJ) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) using StatLock® PICC Plus and 3M™ Steri-Strip™. Each clinician applied and removed one CHG gel dressing and one CHG disk on one simulated PICC and one simulated IJ site, according to the manufacturers' instructions. The clinicians concluded, based upon a 1 to 5 rating scale, that the CHG gel dressing is better in regard to ease of application, ease of applying correctly, ease of removal, ability to visualize the insertion site, ease of training another clinician to apply the dressing, and more intuitive application. Twelve out of 12 clinicians favored the CHG gel dressing over the CHG disk in overall performance.

The satisfaction of a good sexual interaction between spouses is one of the most crucial elements in a happy marriage. The research’s purpose was to ascertain the effectiveness combination of CBT and sex therapy (Master & Johnson, 1970) on marital adjustment (MA) and Sexual Function (SF) among patient with Premature ejaculation (PE). good loving attitude toward each other in relationships, and decreases interpersonal discontent. In this view, Author proposed a combination therapy of sex therapy and CBT for sexual dysfunction, such as PE. The tools used were Brief Sexual Function Inventory (self devised) and Marital adjustment scale (MAS) (Locke & Wallace, 1959). Statistical tools used were Descriptive Statistics, Paired sample t test, Analysis of Variance and Post-Hoc Tukey HSD. The pre-intervention mean score of 4 groups was insignificant on MAS and SES. The results of the paired samples t-test were used to assess pre and posttest scores for all the 3 interventions groups. The post-intervention means score of all 4 groups was significantly different over MAS and SF. The post hoc analysis revealed that the mean score differences were most significant in combined therapy of ST and CBT as compared to ST and CBT individually. This paper utilizes psychological therapy and sex therapy can have larger implication on maintaining sexual intimacy among couples and in turn having a long-lasting effect on marital adjustment.

Cold rolling process in metal could increase its strength and hardness, but also induces mechanical anisotropy. This is caused by unresolved plastic strain and microstructural changes caused by plastic deformation exerted by pair of rolls at a relatively low temperature. This research aims to provide understandings on anisotropic and strain rate sensitive behaviour of St-37 mild steel. The microstructure of rolled and unrolled St-37 plate were observed in 3 directions relative to the rolling direction. The cylindrical specimens were then prepared from rolled plate with 33.3% reduction in the orientation of 0o, 45o, and 90o relative to the rolling direction. Specimens were also prepared from unrolled plate as comparison in the same directions. These specimens were then tested in compression loading, first in quasi-static condition, and then by using Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) at the strain rate of 1200 s-1. The experimental results in the form of stress-strain curves are used to obtain the parameters of Simplified Johnson-Cook viscoplastic model. The anisotropy of yield strength in rolled specimens could be seen on both quasi-static and high strain rate condition, where the highest strength found on the specimens perpendicular to the rolling direction. In addition, the effect of cold rolling to the strain rate sensitivity of the material were also captured successfully in this study, where specimens from rolled plate show less strain rate sensitivity compared to the unrolled specimens.

Romania is blessed with a rich spontaneous flora, but some of the plants are toxic by their consumption in cattle, affecting the health, productions and endangering consumer safety. Sometimes even the consumption of small amounts causes poisoning with a broad extension: from mild, moderate to severe and with chronic or acute manifestations. Plant action is not similar. Taxus Buccata, Eupatorium spp. (E. rugosum, E. urticaefolium, E. ogeratoides) are cardiotoxic plants, but, Eupatorium spp. also acts through depression of the central nervous system; Datura stramonium (Jimson weed), Solanum spp. (nightshades), Atropa belladonna (belladonna), are plants with cholinergic blocking; haemolytic anemia is caused by Pteridium aquilinum (Bracken fern) and Equisetum (horsetail). The poisoning with cyanogenic principles occurs at Sorghum spp (Johnson grass, sudan grass); Elderberry consumption, Senecio spp. and Hypericum (St John’s wort) induces liver toxicity. Plants containing alkaloids outside their toxicity also have teratogenic action: Lupinus spp., Nicotiana spp, Conium maculatum, Veratrum album. However, some of these plants can be used in certain cows’ treatments.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, a novel soft computing technique is designed to analyze the mathematical model of the steady thin film flow of Johnson–Segalman fluid on the surface of an infinitely long vertical cylinder used in the drainage system by using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The approximate series solutions are constructed by Legendre polynomials and a Legendre polynomial-based artificial neural networks architecture (LNN) to approximate solutions for drainage problems. The training of designed neurons in an LNN structure is carried out by a hybridizing generalized normal distribution optimization (GNDO) algorithm and sequential quadratic programming (SQP). To investigate the capabilities of the proposed LNN-GNDO-SQP algorithm, the effect of variations in various non-Newtonian parameters like Stokes number (St), Weissenberg number (We), slip parameters (a), and the ratio of viscosities (ϕ) on velocity profiles of the of steady thin film flow of non-Newtonian Johnson–Segalman fluid are investigated. The results establish that the velocity profile is directly affected by increasing Stokes and Weissenberg numbers while the ratio of viscosities and slip parameter inversely affects the fluid’s velocity profile. To validate the proposed technique’s efficiency, solutions and absolute errors are compared with reference solutions calculated by RK-4 (ode45) and the Genetic algorithm-Active set algorithm (GA-ASA). To study the stability, efficiency and accuracy of the LNN-GNDO-SQP algorithm, extensive graphical and statistical analyses are conducted based on absolute errors, mean, median, standard deviation, mean absolute deviation, Theil’s inequality coefficient (TIC), and error in Nash Sutcliffe efficiency (ENSE). Statistics of the performance indicators are approaching zero, which dictates the proposed algorithm’s worth and reliability.

Sampel haiwan serta persekitaran yang diperoleh dari kedua-dua kawasan kajian diinokulasi dalam media Ellinghausen-Mccullough-Johnson-Harris (EMJH) untuk pengkulturan Leptospira. Pengesanan dan pencirian mudah spesies Leptospira melalui PCR dilakukan ke atas kultur serta sampel haiwan yang positif. Pencirian spesies yang lebih mendalam sehingga peringkat serovar menggunakan penjenisan jujukan multi-lokus (MLST) hanya dilakukan ke atas kultur patogenik sahaja. Sebanyak 8/14 kultur daripada sampel persekitaran BMOUI merupakan spesies saprofitik (L. yanagawae, L. meyeri dan L. idonii), 4/14 adalah spesies perantaraan (L. wolffii) dan 2/14 (dilabel sebagai ‘Soil2’ dan ‘BJ3 soil’) adalah spesies patogenik. Hasil MLST menunjukkan kultur ‘Soil2’ telah dikenal pasti sebagai L. interrogans serovar Lai Langkawi dengan nilai penjenisan jujukan, ST: 236. ‘BJ3 soil’ pula telah diberikan profil alel baharu yang menjana nilai ST baharu iaitu 262 di bawah spesies L. kmetyi. Kesemua 15/15 kultur daripada sampel persekitaran Zoo Taiping merupakan spesies saprofit (L. yanagawae dan L. meyeri). Leptospira yang dikesan secara langsung dalam sampel orang utan dan tikus dari BMOUI berkait rapat dengan spesies L. wolffii. Sampel orang utan dari Zoo Taiping pula berkait rapat dengan spesies L. kmetyi dan L. wolffii. Kajian ini berjaya membuktikan bahawa berlakunya transmisi leptospirosis di BMOUI dan Zoo Taiping yang sememangnya amat penting dalam menambahbaik strategi pencegahan penyakit ini sekaligus membantu dalam usaha pemuliharaan orang utan.

Introduction. During the last decades in connection with rapid development of numerical methods of weather forecasting insufficient attention is given physical and statistical regularities. Nevertheless, climate change and its implications for the various sectors of the economy requires information about the probability characteristics of meteorological variables and phenomena, including wind anomaly. In the article it was considered experience of application Johnson′s distributions to equalize time series of surface wind speed in the meteorological station of Odessa-port in the central months of the seasons. Were found a number of regularities that take into account not only the seasonal and diurnal variation of parameters this distribution, but also the impact of physical and geographical conditions of the location meteorological station on the formation of surface wind regime.
The purpose of publication is to substantiation application of Johnson′s law to approximate series of wind speed at the surface on the meteorological station Odessa-port.
Methods and results. To describe the experimental data in various analytical models of the distribution law increasingly applied the family of Johnson's distributions. Its advantage compared to the distribution of the Pearson consists in the fact, that after some transformations, it leads to a normally distributed random variable. Approximation methods based on universal families of distributions provide flexibility solving the problem of alignment of distributions. The most common approaches to the construction of universal families are approaches based on the method of moments, and the replacement of the original sample the other, the distribution of which is the standard. Statistics wind is presented by following parameters: average values of wind speed, standard deviations, coefficients of asymmetry, excess, coefficient of variation and their error. Conducted alignment time series of surface wind speed using Johnson's distribution for station Odessa-port during a period 1981-1990 y.y., which managed to pick up when ε from -0.51 to -8.00. The parameter λ, which determines the scale of change of the random variable seasonal ranges from 63.56 in January (18 UTC) to 15.77 in October (18 UTC). Estimating shape parameters of wind speed curves η and γ, can reveal some features of the surface wind regime at the st. Odessa port during the year. The less γ, the less slope of the curves. The values of η and γ varies within 0,82-3,54 and 0,24-4,81, respectively. In all cases, λ > 1, indicating that the family of curves belonging SL. The values of Q, which vary from 0.01 to 0.07, confirm the possibility of equalization the series of wind speed at the st. Odessa-port, Johnson's distribution family of SL.
Conclusion. For unimodal distributions of time series wind speed at the meteorological station Odessa-port in almost all cases, possible to use the universal distribution of the Johnson's family SL. The parameters of this distribution allow to reveal regularities, that take into account impact of physical and geographical conditions of the location stations on the formation of surface wind regime.

Literary translation has gained momentum among scholars and researchers due to the peculiar and ambiguous nature of the literary genre(s). The salient discourse features of these genres do pose serious challenges for translators in their attempting to access the source text and to creatively transfer intentions embedded in the source text to target readerships. The selected work is written by the Sudanese novelist El Tayeb Salih, and translated into English by the Canadian-born British translator, Denys Johnson-Davies. This paper focuses on the relationship between the source text(ST)and the target text(TT) in order to identify mismatches, classify them into overt and covert errors and categorize the related overt errors into seven categories, namely not translated, slight change of meaning, significant change of meaning, distortion of meaning, breach of the target language system, creative translation and cultural filtering. The paper, to some extent, found out that the translator has translated the paper under investigation faithfully, however, a number of mismatches were found and accounted for. And since the translation is intended for a non-Arabic speaker, the translation of specific cultural terms and references should consider the limited cultural background of the target text reader (TT-R) which the translator neglected in some parts of his translation. The analysis can state that the translator is not tied to the culture, community and language of the ST; rather he gave preference more to get comparability of the TT. It was also observed that House's model of Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) is applicable and useful in the field of translation of literary works, for both the translator and the student of translation studies.

A major financial and welfare problem is the loss of 1 to 4 million lambs annually in the United Kingdom (Slee, 1979) with many of these deaths being caused by failure of the lamb to maintain normal thermoregulatory responses in the cold. This may be associated with a change in the response to cold exposure from non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) to shivering thermogenesis (ST) as brown adipose tissue (BAT) is replaced by white adipose tissue over the first 2 weeks of life in the lamb (Symonds, Andrews and Johnson, 1989).It has been shown that environmental temperature can affect BAT development in the lamb (Gemmel, Bell and Alexander, 1972) and calf (Casteilla, Champigny, Bouilland, Robelin and Riquier, 1989) but it is not known what effect this has on the thermogenic capacity of BAT or how it may alter the ability of the lamb to thermoregulate.This study investigated the effect of artificially rearing lambs at warm or cold ambient temperatures on the thermogenic capacity of BAT and the extent to which metabolic rate and the ability to respond to warm and cold challenges was altered by these treatments over the first 9 days of life.

James MacMillan was 50 years old on 16 July 2009 and his birthday was celebrated by musical institutions not just in Britain, but internationally. As a composer and conductor in residence for the BBC Philharmonic he led performances of his Symphony No.3: Silence and The World's Ransoming. The Royal Northern College of Music staged a three-day celebration of his work while The Sixteen toured his music under conductor Harry Christophers. His recent St John Passion was performed in Berlin and Amsterdam by the London Symphony Orchestra and in Rotterdam concerts of his music were given by the Rotterdam Philharmonic, Rotterdam Chamber Orchestra and the Hilliard Ensemble. The widespread regard for MacMillan's music evidenced by these performances is the culmination of a steady rise in popularity, undisputedly catalyzed by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra première of The Confession of Isobel Gowdie. In a 1993 Tempo article on MacMillan, music critic Stephen Johnson describes the premiere thus: ‘there have been warm receptions for other new works at Promenade Concerts, but the thunderous, ecstatic welcome given to James MacMillan's The Confession of Isobel Gowdie at the 1990 Proms was unprecedented’.

Forgotten, concealed histories can return with a vengeance to haunt the imagination of a nation. This article explores the seldom-discussed history of the abduction, long-term imprisonment and falsified burial of Lady Grange, who was kidnapped from Edinburgh by allies of her estranged husband, and then slowly transported to St Kilda where she spent the following nine years. It is a tale upon which James Boswell commented when he toured Scotland with Samuel Johnson, and which, in the wake of Boswell's commentary, entered the Gothic imaginary, first through the romances of Ann Radcliffe. Although marital imprisonment was sadly all too widespread during the eighteenth century, with numerous sources to choose from, the history of Lady Grange, blocked for four decades after her death, returned to haunt the pages of romances and periodical articles in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. After examining what James Boswell wrote about Lady Grange, the article focuses on two romances of Ann Radcliffe, her 1789 The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne and her 1790 A Sicilian Romance. The article then looks at William Erskine's 1798 Epistle from Lady Grange and concludes by reflecting upon the unblocking of the story in the nineteenth-century periodical press.

Abstract Use of feller-buncher and directional shears has increased the productivity and efficiency of many logging operations in the South. When felling sawlog and chip'n' saw-sized timber, hydraulic shears can damage the butt portion of the tree. Butt logs of trees felled with shears are subjectto damage in the form of ring-shake, stump-pull, shatter, and splitting (Porter et al. 1984). Logging equipment manufacturers have attempted to minimize shear-related damage through different felling head designs. Various designs have included ribbed blades, angled shear patterns, curved blades,modified blade angles, and modified shear speeds. Whereas a number of studies addressed the effect of a specific design on shear-related damage (Guimier 1981, Forrester 1980, Redman 1979, McLaucalan and Kusec 1974, Letkeman 1973, Johnson and St. Laurent 1970, McIntosh and Kerbes 1968), fewhave compared designs to determine the relative advantage of one over another in reducing shear-related damage. This paper presents the results of a recent study comparing six feller-buncher and directional shear head designs to determine their relative abilities in reducing shear-relateddamage. The study also details a quick and inexpensive method of quantifying shear-related damage in butt logs. South. J. Appl. For. 11(1):3-6.
